Hull scores class win
Oct. 11—MILTON, N.C. — SIlver Hill Racing owner Maurice Hull of High Point sped to the Masters Class victory in the Trans Am TA2 Series race Saturday at Virginia International Raceway.
Hull finished 14th overall in the 101.37-mile race that was 31 laps on a 3.27-mile road course that is about four miles from a farm Hull owns near Semora, North Carolina.
Hull teammate Connor Zilisch wrecked in the seventh lap and finished 34th.
High Point University graduate Connor Mosack started from the pole and crossed the finish line second but was dropped to 17th in the finishing order as a penalty for what officials said was avoidable contact with a car that he was trying to lap while leading. Mosack was passed for the lead with four laps remaining.
