Brandon McReynolds, son of championship crew chief and TV commentator Larry McReynolds, dominated the UARA STARS 75 Saturday morning at Rockingham Speeday. “It was fun” quipped McReynolds after the race. “We got to move around a lot. We were sliding around – it was just how it played out.” Asked about running close with runner-up Paddy Rodenbeck, McReynolds added: “he gave me all the room in the world. I’d be about the stupidest 18-year-old in the world if I didn’t talk to Larry McReynolds,” joked Brandon after a question about how often he talks with his father.

AND Chase Elliott, son of #21-Bill Elliott, dominated the Sunoco National Tour race Friday afternoon at ‘The Rock’Â en route to a victory in his first start at the track. In fact, it was his first start at a track over a half-mile in length. ‘Pacing myself was the big thing,’Â Chase Elliott said. ‘This is a very long race for these kind of cars. The biggest thing was to have a set of tires at the end. Everyone who put a hand on this car did a great job getting ready to come race here.’Â Chase Elliott led all 100 laps of the event. ‘He ran well today,’Â said Bill Elliott, outside of victory lane. ‘He has a good understanding of what it takes to go fast here.’Â(Rockingham Speedway)(5-15-2010)
