What a difference a week makes for Andy Seuss. After mechanical problems
ended his night just four laps into the season-opening race two weeks ago,
Seuss was able to hold off George Brunnhoelzl, III to win the NASCAR Whelen
Southern Modified 150 Saturday night at South Boston Speedway.
Seuss (No. 47 Advance Auto Parts/Q Racing Oil Dodge) started 8th
after the redraw and quickly moved into the top five by lap 40. Seuss passed
Brunnhoelzl, III (No. 28 Oval Speed/Fibrwrap Ford) on lap 87 and was able to
stay out front the rest of the way.
“I can’t tell you how much this means to me to get this win tonight
for the Advance Auto Parts team,” said Seuss. “This is going to make me
ready for tomorrow at Thompson ( Speedway ).
Seuss will also compete in the Icebreaker at Thompson season opener
for the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour Sunday afternoon.
The win was the third career win for Seuss in the NASCAR Whelen
Southern Modified Tour.
Burt Myers finished third with Tim Brown and Brian Loftin
completing the top five.
The NASCAR Whelen Southern Modified Tour will return to action next
Friday night at Ace Speedway and also will race at Caraway Speedway on
Saturday night.
