Vic Hill Decimates ULTIMATE Field at Smoky Mountain
by: Richard Allen
Vic Hill has clearly found the key to success at the Smoky Mountain Speedway. On April 14th the Mosheim, Tennessee driver led all 50 laps of a Southern All Stars event o...n the 4/10 mile clay oval and then on Saturday night he led all 40 laps of the Ultimate Super Late Model Series feature to claim yet another victory at the Maryville, Tennessee track.
After having suffered a minor engine issue which sidelined him from Friday night’s racing action at the 411 Motor Speedway, Hill roared back into action on Saturday by first laying down the fastest lap(16.275 seconds) in qualifying then scoring the feature win later in the evening.
Just like in April, it was the Blount Motorsports teammates of Billy Ogle, Jr. and Tommy Kerr who would pose the greatest challenge to Hill. Those two drivers qualified second and third respectively then exchanged those positions during the race itself.
The only real threat for Hill was when he found himself caught up behind lapped traffic. On one occasion in particular at lap 15, Hill was trapped behind the cars of Casey Barrow and Robby Moses. As he patiently waited for those drivers to sort out their own race, Kerr closed right to the back of the #1 Warrior Race Car. Hill was eventually able to extricate himself from the trap and drive back out to a sizeable lead.
Behind the leader, Kerr had to fight off a number of challenges from Ogle for 2nd while Ray Cook and Ivedent Lloyd, Jr. battled for the fourth spot. At the finish, it was Hill claiming the $4,000 first prize followed by Kerr, Ogle, Cook, Lloyd, Mark Vineyard, Tony Knowles and Casey Roberts.
The race was slowed just four times for cautions.
