BRL Late Model Invitational S29R06 | Myrtle Beach Speedway

The engines roar to life as Mark Hertzog and Aiden Young bring the field to green for the exhilarating Season 29 Round 06 racing showdown at the legendary Myrtle Beach Speedway! With a thunderous start, Hertzog blazes ahead while Young hesitates, allowing Scott Negus to dart into 2nd position. Negus, feeling the thrill, dives inside Hertzog as they charge into turns 1 and 2 and seizes the lead on Lap 4!

Just when the excitement peaks, caution waves on Lap 11, momentarily halting the action. But once racing resumes on Lap 16, it’s business as usual with Negus and Hertzog leading the pack. Negus surges forward, and Hertzog mirrors the move, powering up on the outside, keeping a watchful eye on Joseph Snyder as he settles for 3rd.

Fast forward to Lap 40, where James Lowe makes his move, overtaking Snyder for 3rd place while Hertzog is relentlessly pursuing Negus, who had built an early lead of up to 0.5 seconds. By Lap 63, tensions rise as Hertzog pulls to the inside of Negus, the two racing side by side for a thrilling moment, but Negus holds firm at the front.

Lap 70 brings lapped traffic into the mix, creating a dramatic spectacle as the top three navigate the chaos. A caution on Lap 92, with Negus pulling ahead to nearly a two-second lead over Hertzog, adds to the growing suspense, especially after 81 grueling green flag laps.

Once the race resumes on Lap 96, Negus and Hertzog charge out in front again. Negus, playing a strategic game, controls the pack and jumps ahead. But wait—James Lowe is on the attack, slipping inside Hertzog to claim 2nd place! With the finish line in sight, Lowe puts the pressure on Negus, but the clock runs out before he can make his move.

As the checkered flag waves, Scott Negus celebrates his hard-fought 2nd win of the season, with James Lowe stealing 2nd and Mark Hertzog rounding out the podium in 3rd.
