RURAL RETREAT, Va. (Aug. 30-31) — Making perhaps his last start on dirt before making his NASCAR Nationwide Series debut the following weekend, Austin Dillon of Welcome, N.C., made a fourth-to-first charge just after the midpoint of the 75-lap fifth annual Pro Late Model Nationals at Wythe Raceway and raced to a $10,000 Fastrak Racing Series victory.

Dillon, the grandson of legendary NASCAR team owner Richard Childress, made a power move outside turn one on lap 45 to overtake Lee Cooper and Shannon Buckingham, then disposed of leader Royce Bray on the next lap at the half-mile oval and led the rest of the way. Bray, of Hull, Ga., finished second with Buckingham, of Morristown, Tenn., settling for third.

Fastrak @ Wythe: (1) Austin Dillon, (2) Royce Bray, (3) Shanon Buckingham, (4) Lee Cooper, (4) Ryan Gifford, (5) Chris Steele, (6) Jonathan Davenport, (7) Owen Osteen, (8) David Smith, (9) William Thomas, (10) Bobby Mays, (11) Brandon Umberger, (12) Matt Long, (13) Ross Bailes, (14) Chris Cantrell, (15) Brandy Baker, (16) John Llewellyn, (17) Ty Dillon, (18) Ty Lowe, (19) Tony Trent, (20) Ed Dixon, (21) Timbo Mangum, (22) Ron Parker, (23) Brandon Haley, (24) Mitchell Coble, (25) Chase McCormick, (26) Shane Roberts, (27) David Watts, (28) Noel Tucker, (29) Donald Bradsher, (30) Jensen Ford. Disqualified: Wayne Hughes. Fast qualifier: Gifford, 18.571 seconds. Heat race winners: Umberger, Bray, Bradsher, Cooper, Ford, Buckingham.
