HAMPTON — —
It looked like a sweep for C.E. Falk, but it turned out not to be.
Falk and Shayne Lockhart divided the victories Saturday night in the Late Model Stock Car twin 75-lappers, the featured events of Saturday evening's NASCAR Whelen All-American Series program at Langley Speedway.
In the opener, Falk started on the pole, at 88.942 mph, and cruised to the victory, leading all the way in an event that was slowed by two caution flags.
He won by nearly a full straightaway over his brother, Wes Falk, who held off points leader Greg Edwards by half a car-length for second.
Woody Howard and Shayne Lockhart were fourth and fifth, respectively.
Due to start the nightcap from the pole, C.E. Falk was chased to the pits during the parade laps when lead weights became dislodged from his machine.
Returning at the rear of the 18-car lineup, Falk sliced his way back to the front and took the lead from his brother on lap 53. He led the rest of the way to finish off an apparent sweep.
In the post-race inspection, however, Falk's car came up underweight by an amount that was in line with the weight that was lost prior to the initial green flag.
With Falk's disqualification, Lockhart moved up to first place in the official rundown. Danny Edwards Jr., subbing for Mark Wertz, was second, followed by Dude Gibbs, Wes Falk and Greg Edwards.
