The Modified Mafia Tour Shoot ’Em Up 30 feature became an instant classic as Chris Arnold of Matoaca used a little home-track magic to hold off Michael Altobelli of Saxton, Pa. over the last 12 laps to score the $2,500 victory at Jamaica’s Virginia Motor Speedway on Saturday, Aug. 5.
“I have been trying for year’s to get a win in a special here at Virginia Motor Speedway. I can’t thank Michael Altobelli enough for racing me clean,” commented Chris Arnold in Virginia Is For Racing Lovers victory lane.
On the final lap Arnold had Altobelli on his bumper as the two barreled down the backstretch. Heading into turn three, Altobelli made one last ditch at the win by driving it hard into the corner. Arnold would hold on to grab the win over Altobelli, Taylor Cook and Ty Norder.
