BUDDS CREEK, Md. – Aug. 14, 2015 – Josh Richards is making the most of the World of Outlaws Late Model Series’ visit to the Mid-Atlantic region.

Richards, the three-time WoO LMS champion from Shinnston, W.Va., raced to his second victory in as many nights Friday evening at Potomac Speedway, leading all but the opening lap of the Gunter’s Honey 50 to earn $10,700 in the second leg of the national tour’s three-race Mid-Atlantic weekend.

Starting from the sixth position, Richards, 27, survived contact in an opening-lap scramble before charging ahead of outside polesitter Morgan Bagley of Longview, Texas, to take the lead on lap two. After holding off a mid-race challenge from Rick Eckert of York, Pa., Richards pulled away for much of the second half of the race before again turning Eckert back amid traffic during the final five circuits.

Richards crossed the finish line with an advantage of 0.879 seconds in earning his sixth WoO LMS victory of the season and the 55th of his career.

Terry McCarl Takes Night Two of the FVP Knoxville Nationals

Kevin Swindell was transported to an area hospital for evaluation following a crash at the start of his heat race

KNOXVILLE, Iowa – Aug. 13, 2015 – Night two of the FVP Knoxville Nationals was dominated by two of the track’s most prolific drivers, Danny Lasoski and Terry McCarl, who mixed it up throughout Thursday’s 25-lap A main.

McCarl, who has one World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series victory this season, charged forward from a ninth place starting position and took advantage of a mid-race restart and a slip-up by Lasoski to take the lead and ultimately the win for his No. 24 Country Builders/TheSnowPlow.com team. 

“Danny was checking out there and I was slowly reeling in Jason there – I kind of didn’t want the caution because it took a couple of laps to get going,” McCarl said. “I had not been on the top once but I knew Danny and Jason were running there good. I kind of saw where Danny ran the restart before and I felt really good but I didn’t nail it perfect and he got away from us there and then the yellow came out and that gave me another opportunity there.
