Valente, Gdovic drive to Modified victories at Langley Speedway; Music heads Virginia Racers field
The Ryley Music Show continued on a busy Saturday night of racing at Langley Speedway in Hampton, though DJ Valente and Rick Gdovic scored 30-lap Modified victories.
Music, one of the area’s best young drivers, made it look as easy as 1-2-3 on Mosquito Joe’s Night. He finished second and third in the Modified twin events and won the night’s longest race, a Virginia Racers 50-lapper.
Valente gained his second triumph of the young season, holding off Music by 0.343 of a second in a race with eight drivers. Gdovic, who placed sixth in the opener, bounced back in the nightcap as Peyton Ferree was the runner-up.
Virginia Racers: After almost 23 1/2 minutes, Music fended off Donovan Edwards by 1.057 seconds to emerge atop the field of 16 and score his second victory this season in the division.
Grand Stock: Longtime Langley competitor Paul Lubno made it 2 for 2 this year in getting to Victory Lane, beating Tim Wilson by 496-thousandths of a second over almost 27 minutes. Eight drivers started the 40 laps.
UCAR: Christian Keller remained in charge of the division, beating nine foes and winning his third race in as many tries. It came by a whopping 8.700 seconds over Thomas Fontaine in a 25-lap event that took Keller just less than eight minutes.
Enduro: Ryan Vinson led the field of 18 in a 30-lap race that took less than 10 1/2 minutes. He held off Zachary Herdlein by 1.096 seconds for his first victory of the year. Alex Floroff, who won the division’s first two races, was third, 1.435 seconds off the pace.
Legends: Tommy Jackson motored to his second victory in two tries, easing past Cody Carlton by 3.262 seconds in a 25-lap race that took more than 12 minutes and began with 11 drivers.
Bandolero: Bryson Nichols earned his second victory in two starts this year, overcoming Nevaeh Edwards by 253-thousandths of a second as they took just more than 8 1/2 minutes to complete 15 laps.

Virginia Supreme Court to hear redistricting oral arguments next week
VIRGINIA (WCYB) — The Virginia Supreme Court will hear oral arguments on Monday, April 27, in a legal challenge connected to redistricting in the state.
A Tazewell County Circuit Court judge blocked the certification of votes from Tuesday’s congressional map referendum. Roughly 51 percent of voters voted “yes” to redraw the state’s congressional maps.
The Tazewell County judge ruled that the referendum was illegal.
Attorney General Jay Jones filed an appeal on Thursday, warning the decision would invalidate the votes of millions of Virginians and could pose problems ahead of the Aug. 4 primary.
Oral arguments are set for 9 a.m. Monday and an audio livestream will be available on the Virginia Supreme Court’s website.
