Ross Bailes passes 15 cars in Carolina Sizzer at Charlotte

Trekking to Beckley Motorsports Park (Beckley, W.Va.) for the Schaffer’s Southern Nationals opener, Ross Bailes was one of 24 Late Models on hand on Friday afternoon for the $10,053-to-win A-Main. With a heat race victory placing him third on the starting grid for the opening night feature, Bailes overtook Jacob Hawkins for the lead on the seventh lap and led the next 17 circuits until Devin Moran snuck by. After a flat tire dropped him from third on a lap 38-caution, Ross rebounded from the tail to finish ninth. (Kevin Ritchie Photography)
