South Boston -- Wayne Ramsey continued his recent hot streak at South Boston Speedway Saturday night, edging veteran driver Eddie Johnson of Midlothian, Va. to win the 150-lap race for the Barkhouser Late Model Stock Car Division that highlighted the Miss Utility 150 racing program. Ramsey, from Amherst, Va. edged Johnson by 1. 824 second to score his third win in a row and his fourth victory of the season here at South Boston Speedway. Jason Dickerson of Ruckersville, Va. finished third, diving under division points leader and 10-time winner Adam barker of Hurt, Va. to take the position two laps from the end. Jonathan Bailey of Keysville, Va. rounded out the top five finishers. C. E. Falk, III of Virginia Beach, Va., Owen Miller of Emporia, Va., Joey Coulter of Miami Springs, Fla., former track champion Wayne Patterson of Chesterfield, Va. and South Boston, Va. driver Bruce Anderson rounded out the top ten finishers. Only the top six drivers finished on the lead lap. The win by Ramsey and the fourth-place finish by Barker allowed Ramsey to unofficially trim six points off the 52-point lead Barker held entering the race. As a result, Barker is now in a position of having to await the end of the season’s final points race on Saturday night, September 22 to lock up his first career NASCAR Late Model Stock Car Division track championship. Ramsey started on the pole and led the entire race. He built a comfortable lead on Barker, the outside pole starter, only to have it erased by the race’s only caution, which came out on lap 65. Johnson, who started seventh, worked his way up top fourth place in the first 75 laps and made his move around Barker to take second place on lap 124. Dickerson, who had managed to keep his Ford within hailing distance, got past Barker to take over third place with two laps to go, leaving Barker to finish fourth. Ramsey averaged 83.255 mph in the race, which took 43 minutes and 37 seconds to complete.
