BARTON AWARDED WIN IN NRVS ENDURO RACE

David Barton was declared the winner Sunday in the first Enduro race at New River Valley Speedway.

Barton was awarded the victory in the 100-lap event when the top two finishers were disqualified.

Gary Dalton was awarded second, Jackie Gilbert third, Brian Spangler fourth and Stacy VanOver fifth. VanOver won the Enduro race in April at Lonesome Pine International Raceway in Coeburn, where Barton finished second.

The victory was the fifth for Barton in Enduro racing. It also moved him into the lead in the points battle in the six-race Enduro series at New River and Lonesome Pine.

Mike Marion of Radford slipped outside of Sam Sayers in turn 4 with four laps to go and held on to win the 50-lap Pure Stock special race. Barry Nolen was awarded third when the two drivers who finished ahead of him were disqualified.

Gene Duncan of Radford slipped past pole-sitter Robert Cox coming out of turn 2 on the fifth lap and went on to win the caution-free 25-lap Mini Stock race. It was the third consecutive victory for Duncan. Jay McCray took second, and Cox finished third.
