Bootleg Racing League | Season 34 | Round 7
Outlaw Modified Series | Myrtle Beach Speedway

Friday night ignited with a burst of adrenaline as the Bootleg Racing League’s Outlaw SK Modified Invitational Series descended upon the virtual asphalt of New Smyrna Speedway for a riveting 100-lap feature, broadcast live on the Virtual Grip Network courtesy of the Skitter Creek Motorsports Group. With Tom Hilbert leading the pack from the pole position, anticipation crackled in the air.

However, Bruce Pearson wasted no time in asserting his dominance, executing a bold move to surge past Chris Haizlip and seize control of the race lead on just the third lap. As Pearson set the pace at the front, the battle for second intensified, with Haizlip facing relentless pressure from the determined drivers behind him.

Amidst the fierce competition, Matt Hoose emerged as a formidable contender, maneuvering his way through the pack to challenge Haizlip for the runner-up position. With the field settling into a single-file formation, the race charged into its second half, with tensions escalating as drivers vied for position.

In a dramatic twist, a late-race restart on lap 77 saw Hoose launch a bold assault, diving low to snatch second place from Haizlip. Behind them, Jeffery Hardin and Donny Moore engaged in a fierce battle of their own, exchanging positions in a relentless pursuit of the podium.

As the laps dwindled, Pearson maintained a steady grip on the lead, fending off relentless pressure from the charging pack behind him. A late-race caution set the stage for a thrilling sprint to the finish, with Hardin surging past Hoose to claim second place, while Pearson held firm to secure the checkered flag.

With Todd Liston retaining his stronghold atop the point standings, holding a 10-point lead over Hardin, the stage is set for another electrifying showdown as the Bootleg Racing League returns to New Smyrna Speedway on February 23rd.
