YYR Tour Modified Series S2R2 | South Boston Speedway

The YesterYear Racing (YYR) Tour Modified Series revved up for an action-packed showdown on March 25th at South Boston, showcasing Season 2 Round 2 of thrilling racing. Jerry Isaacs stormed through qualifications, clocking in the fastest time at 14.170 seconds.

As the green flag waved for the YYR SOBO 150, it was a neck-and-neck start with Isaacs and Todd Liston side by side. While Liston briefly faltered at the entrance of turn 1, he quickly regained his footing and settled into 2nd place behind Isaacs. Behind them, Brian Bianchi and Daryl Wineinger engaged in a fierce battle for 3rd, with Bianchi ultimately taking the outside lane to claim victory in that duel.

The first caution flew on lap 27, resulting from lapped traffic that tangled with Isaacs, forcing him to pit and allowing Liston to take the lead on Lap 29.

When racing resumed on lap 31, Liston and Bianchi were leading the pack. However, a quick caution on lap 33 halted their momentum. After the restart on lap 38, Liston found himself back in control.

On lap 41, Wineinger made several attempts to squeeze past Bianchi for 2nd but couldn’t find a way through. Meanwhile, Brian Johnson and Bill Martin put on a dazzling side-by-side spectacle from Lap 50 to Lap 56, with Martin eventually edging out Johnson for 10th place. Another caution came on Lap 58, setting the stage for a stacked restart on lap 62, where Liston took the lead again, but not without chaos among the lap cars that ensued.

Green flag racing kicked off on lap 67 with Liston leading, but tensions mounted as Bianchi pressured Liston, both drivers racing ahead of Tom Ogle in 3rd. By Lap 81, Bianchi was breathing down Liston’s neck, looking for an opportunity. A caution on Lap 87 put a pause on the fierce competition.

When the race resumed on lap 92, Liston held the front spot, but Bianchi didn’t let up. By lap 104, he was right on Liston’s tail, ready to make a move. On lap 113, Bianchi took his chance, overtaking Liston and snatching the lead, just before another caution on Lap 114.

As racing resumed on lap 119, Bianchi was back in command. Meanwhile, Rex Hoyle and Jeffery Hardin were locked in a battle for 3rd, with Hoyle eventually securing the position. On Lap 134, Hoyle tried to dive inside Liston for 4th, leading to a side-by-side clash. They battled fiercely until their duel led to a caution on Lap 136.

After another restart on Lap 141, Bianchi led the final stretch with Hardin applying pressure in 2nd. Lowell Jewell charged through the pack, vying for 5th against Johnson in a spirited battle fueled by competitive spirit. As the white flag waved, Bianchi held onto a tight half-second lead over Hardin, while Liston and Brian Neff jostled for 3rd. In the end, Brian Bianchi crossed the finish line first, claiming victory in Season 2 Round 2 of the YYR SOBO 150, with Jeffery Hardin finishing 2nd and Todd Liston rounding out the podium in 3rd.
