Alex McCollum grabs the win in the Elite Performance Industries 80 at Richmond Raceway!
Alex McCollum finally got it done at Richmond in the SD Ireland Cancer Research Fund Late Model Shootout Series Elite Performance Industries 80!
McCollum hadn’t been having the best season, as the former series Champion had a season-best finish of 15th. Richmond was this season’s coming out party as he would grab the International Short Track Association Quick Time award, but with the invert would roll-off 7th.
It would take until lap 27, as McCollum would grab the lead and never look back as he’d lead the rest of the event. He’d survive a full 3 green/white/checkered restarts and hold off challenges from Thomas Axsom and Cole Cabre to grab the win!
Cabre would come home 2nd. After winning the last 4 races, Axsom would come home 3rd. Christian Pedersen would finish 4th and Landon Huffman finished 5th.
Peyton Howell, Jordan Harnish, Aaron Johnson, Carter Langley and Blaidyn Edwards rounded out the top 10.
Aaron Johnson was tonight’s Hard Charger Award winner going from his 26th starting position to 8th, doing it all with 0 incident points!
Next week the series heads to Myrtle Beach Speedway for the Revelry Racing 100!
