The Southeast Super Truck Series and company returned back to Lonesome Pine Motorsports Park. Last time out, the fans received a phenomenal finish, as Chandler Gallman collecting his first career win over Chase Pollard by a mere .006 seconds. The LPMP Sportsman drivers were set to compete with the SEST drivers in a joint race. The teams all unloaded and prepared for the days activities.

The first practice session of the afternoon, it was Morristown Tennessee’s Lance Gatlin who laid down the fast time. Chase Pollard, Josh Gobble, Chandler Gallman, and Austin Peters rounded out the top five. Tazewell, Virginia’s Joe White topped the final practice charts. Qualifying was up next for the drivers, and it was Abington, Virginia’s Josh Gobble who captured the Renegade Race Fuel Pole Award, Gobble rolled a five on the invert dice which now set Gatlin to start in the top spot with Pollard on his outside. Bryan Ramey pulled the Double Aught Injury Lawyers pace car onto pit road and flagman Dylan Greene waved the green flag high above the field. Gatlin and Pollard led the field off into turn one, Pollard was able to pull out front by just a nose over Gatlin’s #52 Cotton Eyed Joes Chevrolet to lead lap one. Eugene Norton quickly went to work as he pulled to the outside of Gatlin as they raced for second place. Joe White slipped past Gobble to take over fifth as he pulled up to the door of the #16 Fairview Tire & Auto Camaro of Tyler Worley.

Worley was making the outside groove work, as he powered past White and drove up to the outside door of Gatlin as they were battling for third. The first caution flew on lap eight as Brayden Goddard spun around on the back stretch. Pollard paced the field back to the KRC Power Steering Restart Zone, and hit his marks. As Worley and Gobble were fighting for fifth, Austin Peters had quietly slipped into the mix of things and was right in the pairs tire tracks. Fifteen laps were in the books as Pollard remained out front since the beginning of the race, Eugene Norton still back in second and Gatlin rounded out the top three. Gobble’s night ended early as he slowed off the pace going into turn one on lap seventeen. As the field crossed the halfway point, Peters pulled his Premiere Dental Arts #66 Impala into the fifth position. Chase Pollard would go on to capture his first career Honey Hush Boutique Limited Late Model victory. “It’s about time for sure, man we had such a good car, my guys have worked so hard this week. This is cooler than winning the championship, this is what you come to do, is win. I have to thank Muscle Car Accessories, Seimer Grading, Heintz Brothers Performance, LP Gear, OK Tire in Canada, my dad and Gauge we work so hard on this stuff. Also Curtis Pardue, he is like family to us.” Stated Pollard in Rick Hendrick City Chevrolet Victory Lane.

(COEBURN, VA) After a month off with the Southeast Super Truck Series, the drivers were eager to get back in action. TJ Williams returned to action for the first time this season, and Toby Hollifield also returned back after a few years off. Bennie Davis came up Friday evening to log some laps and shake his truck down, due to him being absent Saturday morning to attend one of his grandchild’s graduation. First practice was up and it was Draper, Virginia’s Kyle Barnes who set the fastest time in his DCT Towing & Recovery Silverdado. Cameron Williams, Tim Lollis, Toby Hollifield, and TJ Williams rounded out the top five. Final practice it was Candler, North Carolina’s Cameron Williams that laid down the quickest lap; Kyle Barnes, Josh Goble, Tim Lollis, and Toby Hollifield rounded out the top five. Cameron also went on to capture the Renegade Race Fuel Pole Award, he also rolled a five on the invert dice, which now set veteran driver Tim Lollis to start the race in the top spot with Goble on his outside.

Bryan Ramey paced the field in his beautiful Double Aught Injury Lawyers Chevrolet Corvette before ducking off on to pit road. Lollis smashed the gas pedal as flag man Dylan Greene wave the green flag over the field. Lollis led lap one with Goble remaining on his outside, Barnes and C. Williams right in the heels. Five laps on the board and Lollis was still the leader out front, Goble second but having to hold off Barnes who was right on the rear bumper of the #65 Utilitough Silverado of Goble. Now ten laps logged and Lollis, still your leader, the top four remained single file (Lollis, Goble, Barnes, C. Williams). Barnes made a hard charge to the inside of Goble going into turn three, making slight contact and upsetting both trucks. Both drivers were able to gather it up and get back underway, however this opened the door for Barnes as he drove past Goble to take over second, and Cameron following pursuit.

Lollis led the field back to the halfway mark of the shortened race, the top three were nose to tail (Lollis, Barnes, C. Williams). With 28 laps on the board, Barnes finally seen a opening on the outside of Lollis and drove up to the door of the #50 Busted Knuckle Tire & Auto Silverado. Lollis was able to hold off Barnes and pull back out front of the field, just a few laps later Barnes dove to the bottom of Lollis and once again the duo raced door to door. Lap 31 there was a new leader, as Barnes took over the top spot shuffling Lollis back to second with C. Williams who quickly followed Barnes’s line. Lollis would go from first to third in one lap, Kyle Barnes would go on to capture back to back wins at Lonesome Pine. Barnes also would lead the field in the point standings leaving LPMP with a five point advantage over Tim Lollis. “I knew Josh and Tim were going to be pretty tough, unfortunately everyone got taken out in a lap one incident a few weeks ago, so I knew coming back into this week everybody was going to be hungry. He (Cameron) put on one heck of a show in the #15 truck, he stayed with me quite a bit. I got a little urgent getting by Tim, I felt my brake pedal fading there, I didn’t want to run over top of him getting in, so as soon as I seen my opening I got underneath him and was able to capitalize and get the lead. I really want to thank DCT Towing & Recovery, Black Acid Racing Apparel, Ft. Chiswell RV Park, Let’s Stay Home Boutique, Lee’s Body Shop, River Junction Campground & Canoeing, Berts Garage, VHE Chassis Dyno, Story Lawncare, Jerrys Garage, and Minimal-E for all of their support” stated Barnes in Rick Hendrick City Chevrolet Victory Lane.

The Series will take a few weeks off before returning to Anderson Motor Speedway on June 22 for Race #4. We will be joined once again by Boo Carlisle and his STAR Super Stock Tour. For more information follow us on Facebook as well as our website www.southeastsupertrucks.com.
