BRL Late Model Invitational S25R07 | Myrtle Beach Speedway

by Tre Blohm

The Season 25 Round 7 BRL Late Model Invitational at Myrtle Beach Speedway was a thrilling event with Darryl Wineinger and Tre Blohm leading the field to the green flag. Wineinger started off the race on a high note, allowing Ruben Altice to get into second place. The top 5 drivers were all settled into line, but behind them, there was some side-by-side action early on. After the first caution of the race, we restarted with an exhilarating moment of four cars wide across the backstretch, which was able to stay clean and accident-free.

As the race progressed and we hit the quarter-way mark, the whole field had pretty much settled down to single-file racing. Single-file racing was interrupted by an excellent battle for second place between Ruben Altice and J R Shepherd before Shepherd was finally able to win that battle, but it was a tough fight. On lap 48, J R Shepherd took the lead, passing Darryl Wineinger. On lap 56, we saw some more good battles for the third spot between Mike Holloway and Ruben Altice, but that ended with some contact that allowed Altice to maintain his third spot, although he was quickly pressured by Lowell Jewell.

The latter part of the race had slightly more frequent cautions as drivers were experiencing tire wear and fighting for positions. However, this did not dampen the excitement of the race. A late-race caution set up a Green/White/Checker with Shepherd and Ruben Altice on the front row. Shepherd rocketed off, with Altice falling down into the inside to save his spot. Behind him, Hardin made a move for third, and at the finish line, Shepherd claimed the checkered flag, followed by Ruben Altice for second and Jeffrey Hardin in third.
