SHENANDOAH, Va. (April 13) – Opening night for the Virginia Sprint Series was a pavement race at the beautiful Shenandoah Speedway and when it was over Glenn Worrell was first to the finish line.
Saturday’s feature-only event for IMCA RaceSaver Sprint Cars had Bill Rice and Charlie Ware on the point with Rice out first. Jerald Harris, Worrell and Mike Keeton were all together at the front behind Rice.
Rice was smooth lap after lap while Harris was under pressure from Worrell as his car was starting to go away. Worrell went low and got by Rice as Harris found himself dealing with Keeton for third.
Laps were winding down and Worrell and Keeton kept the pressure on with Worrell the first to get under Rice for the lead as Keeton went to third.
Keeton worked on Rice and got by for second but time ran out before he could mount a challenge.
