01 March 2024
Bootleg Racing League | Season 34 | Round 9
Outlaw Modified Series | The Bullring at Las Vegas

On Friday, March 1st, the Bootleg Racing League Outlaw SK Modified Invitational Series lit up the virtual tracks with a thrilling 100-lap feature presented by the Skitter Creek Motorsports Group. Mark Hertzog led the charge from the pole position, setting the stage for an action-packed showdown at The Bullring.

As the green flag dropped, drivers grappled with the tight confines of the circuit, resulting in frequent cautions and rapid-fire restarts. Amidst the chaos, Aiden Young and Todd Liston showcased their prowess, steadily carving their way to the front of the pack in the early stages. Meanwhile, Hertzog held firm at the front, fending off challenges to maintain his lead.

However, the battle for supremacy intensified as the race progressed, with Donny Moore applying relentless pressure on Hertzog. On lap 35, Moore executed a precise maneuver, nudging Hertzog aside to snatch the lead for himself. Yet, the tides quickly turned as Young seized an opportunity to surge past Moore and claim the lead just before another caution interrupted proceedings.

Entering the second half of the race, Liston emerged as a formidable contender, battling Hertzog for the runner-up position in a fierce exchange of positions. With the podium spots fiercely contested, Ricky Hardin made a late surge to snatch third place from Hertzog with just 10 laps remaining.

Undeterred by the challenges behind him, Young maintained his composure and stretched out his lead, navigating the treacherous track with precision. As the checkered flag beckoned, Young crossed the finish line in triumphant fashion, securing a well-deserved victory.

Behind him, Liston delivered a stellar performance to clinch second place, solidifying his position atop the championship standings with a 19-point lead over Matt Hoose.

The Outlaw SK Modified Invitational Series continues to deliver exhilarating racing action, promising more thrills and spills in the battles ahead. With only 2 rounds remaining, the series heads out to Lanier National Speedway next week on March 8th with the action going live at 8:55PM ET exclusively on the Virtual Grip Network!
