SOUTH BOSTON, VA….Adam Barker returned to Victory Lane Tuesday night, scoring the biggest win of his career in the 200-lap race for the Barkhouser Late Model Stock Car Division that highlighted the Bailey’s 200 racing program here at South Boston Speedway. Barker, from Hurt, Va., drove away from the field in a 50-lap sprint that followed a 10-minute break in the race at the 150-lap mark and edged runner-up Jerame Donley of Winston-Salem, N.C. by about two seconds. The win, Barker’s biggest of the season, was worth $5,000.

C.E. Falk of Virginia Beach, Va., the driver that snapped Barker’s seven-race win streak just over a week earlier, finished third with Jon Denning of Springfield, N.J. and former South Boston Speedway champion Drew Herring of Benson, N.C. rounding out the top five finishers. Ford driver Wayne Ramsey of Amherst, Va., last year’s NASCAR Weekly Series national champion Philip Morris of Ruckersville, Va., David Triplett Jr. of Timberlake, N.C., Stacy Puryear of South Boston, Va. and Stephen Berry completed the top ten finishers. Barker started on the pole and led the entire race with few challenges. After the final 50-lap segment of the race began Barker needed only 25 laps to build a lead of a quarter of a lap over the field. He maintained the majority of that cushion the rest of the way as Falk and Donley battled for second place.
