BRL Late Model Invitational S27R11 | Five Flags Speedway

by Tre Blohm

On Championship Saturday, the Bootleg Racing League held their Season finale at Five Flags Speedway. Joe Segalla and Tom Hilbert led the field at the start of the race. Segalla pulled ahead, leaving Hilbert in second place. However, an early caution on Lap 2 paused the race. When the race resumed on Lap 8, Segalla kept his lead with Hilbert and Chris Haizlip battling for second. Another caution on Lap 10 momentarily stopped the race.

On Lap 16, Segalla led the field once again after a restart, with Hilbert securing second place and Todd Liston moving into third. The cycle of cautions continued, with the race pausing on Lap 24. As the race resumed on Lap 30, Segalla maintained his lead, with Liston and Hilbert vying for second place. Liston eventually took the lead on Lap 33.

Subsequent cautions on Lap 67 and Lap 79 interrupted the race, and on Lap 83, Liston and Scott Negus led the field. Liston held onto the lead, with Mark Hertzog and Jeffery Hardin securing second and third place, respectively. After another caution on Lap 90, Liston remained in the lead and crossed the finish line in first place, followed by Adam Schoen in second and Mike Holloway in third.

At the close of the race, John Wilson’s perseverance with a damaged car allowed him to gain enough spots to win the Season 27 Championship.

BRL’s next race will be next Saturday, September 21^st, with two races in the ARCA car at Southern National Speedway. First up will be the Skitter Creek Qualifier at 7:40pm ET, a race that allows non-champions to race their way into the Stone River Shootout, which will start at 9:10pm ET.
