Ross Bailes gets up to speed before his victory at 311.
What won the race: With a late-race caution setting up a four-lap shootout to the finish, Ross Bailes of Clover, S.C., bested Logan Roberson of Waynesboro, Va., for a $2,000 Fastrak Racing Series victory at 311 Motor Speedway.
Key notes: Bailes scored his second Fastrak victory of the 2018 season; his first came at Virginia Motor Speedway on April 14. … A brief rain delayed interrupted qualifying. ... An eight-car pileup ensured on a lap-12 restart when Darrell Dow's machine lost power. ... Fifteen drivers completed the 40-lap distance. ... Bailes became the tour’s first repeat winner this season. … Friday’s race was the first in the 14th annual FASTRAK Triple Crown. Series competitors will travel to Princeton Speedway Saturday and Wythe Raceway in Rural Retreat, Va., for Sunday’s finale. … The race is in honor of the late Bill Hicks Sr., who passed away after suffering a heart attack at 311 Speedway 26 years ago. ... The race was on the undercard for a $4,000-to-win Ultimate Southeast Series event won by Benji Hicks of Mount Airy, N.C., the grandson of Bill Hicks; Hicks finished third in the Fastrak feature.
