How it Happened
2022 FASTRAK World Championship
Where: Virginia Motor Speedway – Jamaica, Va. (streamed on Flo Racing)
Winner’s Purse: $50,000
Zack Dohm appeared to have the FASTRAK World Championship under control when he prevailed after laps of sustained pressure on Henry Hornsby III, taking the lead with 13 to go in the feature. However, come lap 58 Dohm got stuck under a lapped car in turn 2, opening the door for Tyler Bare to pounce with a perfectly executed diamond move through the corner to score the richest win of his racing career.

Bare was openly emotional in victory lane, as the win came in a late model sporting a throwback paint scheme tribute to his grandfather.
It marked the end to an eventful FASTRAK World Championship feature that went off the rails on lap 16, when race leader Benji Hicks spun in turn 4 after overdriving the corner smack into a lapped car. That handed the lead to Hornsby, who was in front of trouble when the Big One struck on the ensuing restart, collecting seven cars in turn 2 after Tyler Emory went spinning.
Hornsby would lead the next 30 circuits of the race, a feature which included a scheduled pit stop after 30 laps were completed. Hornsby’s No. 39 did lose pace approaching lap 40, which allowed Dohm and Bare to close for their eventual battle up front.
Saturday night’s feature was slowed by five yellow flags after a Friday preliminary night that saw all six heats go caution-free.
Success Stories
It was a cool moment to see Bare get congratulated on the cool-down lap by fellow competitors Dohm and Logan Roberson, and it was well-deserved considering that Dohm and Bare raced clean to decide what will likely be the richest shot at a win either driver will have in 2022.
Man how time flies!
