BRL STREET STOCK SUMMARY
February 22, 2025
Southern National Speedway
by Tim Corder
Bootleg Racing’s Street Stocks Series roared into Southern National Speedway for its eighth race of Season 32 on February 22, 2025. Jeffery Hardin started on the pole and led all 40 laps, beating Scott Negus to the checkered flag by 0.482 seconds. Aiden Young took the final podium position and James Lowe and Chris Davis rounded out the top 5.
The race was slowed by just one caution on lap 3. Exiting turn 2 Steve Hilbert contacted Chris Haizlip, Hilbert spinning as a result onto the back stretch. Karl Graves also spun as the field tried to navigate around the spinning Hilbert. The green came back out on lap 8 and the BRL drivers put on their typical close, but clean, racing for the rest of the event. All but five of the 17 drivers completed the race without incident points.
Only two drivers failed to complete all 40 laps of the event. Scott Negus showed great speed and race craft, winning both the Fastest Lap of the Race and the Hard Charger of the Race Awards in his second place finish. Negus turned his 13th lap of the race in just 15.386 seconds, and, he picked up seven spots from his 9th place starting position.
The next race of the season will be held at Oswego Speedway on March 1st. The Series last visited Oswego in Season 31 on October 19th, 2024. That event was caution free with Jeffery Hardin claiming the checkered flag.
