Ferguson Survives A Thrill Through Lap Traffic To Be FASTRAK's King Of The Commonwealth

Jamaica, Virginia – The competitors of the FASTRAK Racing Series powered by Chevrolet Performance returned to the immaculate 1/2 mile clay gem that is Virginia Motor Speedway nestled in the Tidewater Region of Virginia for the return of roaring engines after an almost sixteen-month absence for the series visiting in midst of the corona virus pandemic. A spectacular crowd on hand witnessed a great battle for the $3,000 to win opener for FASTRAK Racing Series' 18th consecutive season.

The #00 Carson Ferguson from Charlotte the 2018 FASTRAK national touring champion was able to hold off an emotionally charged drive by #8 Jeremy Pilkerton who was racing filled with drive and emotions after his Father Jeff suffered a heart attack last weekend who was planning to attend the son’s race event. Among the emotion and crazy surges by Pilkerton, #08 Ray Love Jr., #47 Matt Quade and even #2w Justin Williams who found himself in an amazingly comfortable position using the top side to his advantage after starting in the top ten to secure a podium finish.

For Ferguson the opening laps we’re interesting as he had to work around hungry contenders #08 Ray Love Jr. for the lead. After being mire through lap traffic after an exciting first half. The yellow would fly after #55 David Keith hit a rut entering turn one causing severe damage to the front clip of the Kryptonite chassis to end his evening. The second caution would fly after #38 Nick Love was involved with an incident spinning in front of the pack on the backstretch. During the cool down under caution the #7 of Dan Breuer he would precede to use his car as a battering ram on until pulling in for the night.

On the restart Ferguson would survive to battle off everyone coming at him from behind relinquish the top spot and secure the $3000 victory for the "King of the Commonwealth". It was his 2nd KoC in his career after winning in May 2019 after Layton Sullivan blew at right rear coming to the checkers.
