Bianchi Leads Start to Finish in Camden Classic

Brian Bianchi's NASCAR Tour Modified car

Brian Bianchi took pole position at the second annual Camden Classic and led from start to finish to capture his third win of the season in the YesterYear Racing™ Tour Modified Series. The only thing that kept Bianchi from the "Grand Slam" was the fact that he did not set fastest lap of the race. That was done by Brian Neff on lap 8. Points leader Tom Ogle was hot on the heels of Bianchi all night, but just couldn't make a pass on a hot Stafford Motor Speedway where it seemed like one racing line was the norm all night. "There was one point when I thought I might be able to get around him, but it would have been risky and I am not going to win a race by taking someone out," Ogle said after the race. For his part, Bianchi said "I did a good job of managing my tires the whole night and was able to have enough at the end to hold off Tom." When asked if this win could be a catalyst for good things to come for the rest of the season Bianchi said, "Yes, I hope so. I have won a few races this season, but the races I haven't won were all a struggle. I hope to be more consistent during the remainder of the season." Finishing third on the podium was Chris Davis who returned to the Series driving his Tommy Baldwin #7 livery. "I was good on longer runs, but we never got the chance for a very long run so that didn't work in my favor," Davis said in his post-race interview. There were three cautions on the night mostly from self-spins. Luke Logan Allen held off a slew of cars including Scott Negus, Brian Johnson, Todd Liston and Allen Wannamaker to take fourth place in the race. The Series continues next Tuesday, September 2, 2025, under the lights at South Boston Speedway for the "King of the Modifieds" race. It will be the third and final visit to the legendary Virginia bull ring for the YesterYear Racing™ Tour Modifieds and it should be a good one. The Virtual Grip Network will be broadcasting the race which begins at 8:30pm ET.
