CONCORD, N.C.
For the second year in a row, one of NASCAR team owner Richard Childress’s grandsons went to victory lane at The Dirt Track @ Lowe’s Motor Speedway.
Ty Dillon, the 16-year-old younger brother of Austin Dillon, won Friday night’s 25-lap feature for the Goodyear FASTRAK Challenge late- model series at the four-tenths-mile dirt track.
Austin drove a black No. 3 late model to victory in this event one year ago while Ty wheeled a blue No. 2 machine into the winner’s circle this year.
Dillon started ninth and took command when R.J. Otto spun out on lap eight. Once in front, Dillon was never seriously challenged as Dennis “Rambo” Franklin tried to chase him down.
Franklin settled for second, with Kenny Peeples, Otto and Timbo Mangum rounding out the top five.
The finish:
Ty Dillon, Dennis Franklin, Kenny Peeples, R.J. Otto, Timbo Mangum, Ray Dockery, Chris Steel, Ty Lowe, Robbie Stevens, Chad Pearson, John Llewellyn, Larry Parris, Donald Bradsher, Brandy Baker, Ryan Gifford, Luke Laney, Andy Blackwood, Ross Bailes, Jeff Cooke, Nick Walker, Brad Hall, Steve Jones, Justin Hirt, Seth Wimpey.
