"Breeden Scores Winchester First in Green to Checker Romp"

"Burdette RUSH Star, Ott in Legends, Wilkins Undefeated"

By Doug Watson

Winchester Virginia- Fairplay Maryland's Codey Breeden made his first start of the season at Winchester Speedway a good one, as he would take top honors in the 20 lap Limited Late Model main for his career first division win at the venerable Virginia oval.
After a win in the first Limited Late Model heat race, the heads up start placed Breeden on the pole for the event and he would not squander his opportunity as he would go on to pace all 20 circuits aboard his family owned Rocket Chassis No.14 becoming the third different driver to win in the division this season. "Our car was really good tonight, but I didn't expect to go down there and be as good as we were but everything worked out." Breeden explained. "I never thought I would win a Late Model race, so it's pretty cool to get a win here and this is the last race my aunt got to watch was at Winchester, so it was definitely special." Veteran Brad Omps was second, Austin Stover took third with Jonathan Raley and Michael Walls rounding out the top-five. Breeden and Wesley Bonebrake were heat race winners.
Jacob Burdette also took advantage of his front row starting to claim the win in the 25-lap RUSH Late Model feature. Burdette out dragged fellow front row line mate Devin Brannon into the first turn and would control all 25-circuits to post the $2000 victory. Brannon held tough for third, defending track champion Davin Kaiser was third, rookie Brady Neff took fourth with Branson Woodward completing the top-five. Heat winners were Burdette and Brannon.
Jeremy Ott came from his fourth starting spot to snare the race lead on the second lap and would collect his first Winchester win of the season in the 20-lap East Coast Legends contest. Alex McCollum was second, Colton Friese was third, Seth Kearchner took fourth and ninth-starting Logan Jones trailed at the finish. Heats for the 32 entries went to Ott, Justin Wagaman, Colton Friese and Alex McCollum.
Defending track champion Jason Wilkins Kept his win streak intact as he drove his ARC Race Cars No.9 to his fourth consecutive win in the 15 lap hobby stock feature. Opening day winner Dylan Beavers was second with Randy Linaburg, Larry Smith Jr and Robert Wilson filling the front five.
