Lowe's PR
CONCORD, N.C. (November 1) - Josh Richards took home the win in Saturday's VAULT World Finals at The Dirt Track @ Lowe's Motor Speedway, and Darrell Lanigan was crowned World of Outlaws Late Model Series champion.
Lanigan finished seventh in Saturday's World of Outlaws Late Model Series feature as he claimed his first series championship.
Richards started the late model race from eighth position and steadily moved his way up through the field. He was in fourth by lap 14 and passed Dale McDowell for second on lap 32. Three laps later he passed Earl Pearson Jr. for the lead off turn four.
"I don't even know what to say," said Richards as he exited his car and claimed the winner's trophy. "This is definitely a top moment in my career.
"I was nervous coming in. We had to defend second place in the points and to come out here and win is just amazing."
The win was Richards' sixth of the season and first at The Dirt Track. He finished second in the World of Outlaws Late Model Series points.
Pearson Jr. looked to the high side with two laps to go in a challenge for the lead, but was unable to pass Richards and settled for second. McDowell led more than 30 laps before he was passed by Pearson Jr., and ended up third. Donnie Moran and Steve Francis rounded out the top five.
The late model feature was slowed by six caution periods for a series of minor incidents.
McDowell, Owens, Pearson Jr., Chris Madden, Davey Johnson and Tim McCreadie won the 10-lap heat races for the late models.
Francis, Michael England and Scott Bloomquist topped the 12-lap late model B mains.
