With some of its 2025 championships awarded and the rest set to be finalized next weekend, Langley Speedway conducted the Hampton CVB Halloween Speedfest on Saturday night with four main-event races.
Many of the drivers had extensive Langley experience, though a few did not.
Ayden Millette won the Limited Late Model 100-lapper in more than 33 minutes and 51 seconds, beating Justin Brown by a relatively comfortable 4.850 seconds and third-place Tucker Jones by 5.774 in the field of 11 competitors. Millette already has won this year’s Langley Limited Late Model trophy, as well as six races.
Virginia Sprint Car Series: Chase Burrow, a former CARS Tour victory at Langley, won among 11 drivers competing for 25 laps, while Bill Mullis placed second. Those two won the heat races that set the field for the main event.
Southern Ground Pounders: Only five drivers took the green flag, and Shane Lockhart needed just less than 10 1/2 minutes to win a 30-lap race by 1.741 seconds over Bubba Farmer. Chris Hicks was a distant third, 11.877 off the pace.
Virginia Mini Cup Series: Johnny Shonk prevailed in what became a two-man duel against Noah Matthews, encompassing 25 laps and more than 8:05.
Shonk edged fellow series regular Matthews by 696-thousandths of a second to take the checkered flag among eight drivers. Tyler Thorne was 10.771 seconds behind Shonk in third.
