RURAL RETREAT, Va. (July 25) — Rain delayed the Fastrak Racing Series feature at Wythe Raceway, but it couldn't stop Shanon Buckingham of Morristown, Tenn., from racing to a $3,000 victory.

Hometown driver Brandon Umberger finished second in the 40-lapper followed by Lee Cooper of Greer, S.C., who posted his second straight third-place finish. David Smith of Inman, S.C., and Donald Bradsher of Burlington, N.C., rounded out the top five finishers on a night when rain hit at 9 p.m., pushing the feature to later in the night.

The victory is Buckingham's third special event Crate Late Model victory of 2009, including a $25,000 unsanctioned victory July 4 at Green Valley Speedway in Glencoe, Ala. ...
