West Virginia Dirt Trackin’ King, Sr. wins BRP Modifieds

Fellow dirt eaters it saddens me to say that this column has been given the red/checkered flag and will no longer be in these pages. As always contact me at [email protected] or on face book. Without getting sappy, a deep heartfelt thank you to all that helped and supported me over the last 15 years. Until it’s time again to smell alcohol and eat dirt, have a good one. At Elkins on Friday Steve Wilmoth grabbed the point in the Super Late Models with Shane Hitt on his decklid. Paul Wilmoth Jr. would join the duo and nearly three wide for the spot. Paul snared the lead from his brother on lap 23. Paul parked in victory lane for the third time this year. Shane slipped by Steve for second. Ryan Montgomery and Tim Senic were fourth and fifth.
