Hampton, VA – The man is on a mission in 2018 and this weekends mission is to remain undefeated in the Late Model division at Larry King Law’s Langley Speedway. Coming off of a very close second place finish in the opening round of the 2018 Virginia Triple Crown, Morris made the trip back out to Langley this weekend hunting more victories as well as notes for the upcoming Hampton Heat.

With much cooler temperatures in the Hampton Roads area than the last couple of weeks and plenty of cloud cover, Morris was able to lay down a 15.639-second (90.927 MPH) to secure yet another pole award. He will lead Danny Edwards Jr., Greg Edwards, Brenden Queen – who had transponder issues during qualifying for those who might be watching Race Monitor but was scored by hand in the tower – and Garret Bunch to the green flag.

This weekends races will be the final weekend on the books for teams to build their notebooks heading into the prestigious 200-lap, $10,000 to win the race and the second leg to the Triple Crown.
