The fourth

100-lap Bill Heard Chevrolet Big 8 Pro Late Model feature will be on tap

for this weekend at Senoia Speedway. Instead of the normal $3,000 to the

winner of the Big 8, the winnings have increased by $1,000 bringing the

total up to $4,000 to the winner.

The $1,000

donation comes from Larry Hunt with the Aviation Group, Inc. in memory

of his late brother in law, Peachtree City's Billy Feuntes. The 92.5 car

will place a special memorial sticker on the car. Also, the car will move

out in front of the Pro Late Models taking a special lap before the start

of the feature in Feuntes' memory.

The Street

Stock Double Points Special race was first on the agenda at Senoia Speedway

Saturday night with only one caution during the 25-lap feature. Robbie

"Go-Go" Gober, in his Chevy Malibu, led from start to finish

around the 3/8-mile asphalt oval to take the checkers. Following Gober

to the line in second was Hampton's Stan Barge who moved up from his fourth

place starting position with Mark Lore finishing third. Pike County's

Larry Pierce and Landon DeGraff finished fourth and fifth rounding out

the top five.

During the

night's second Street Stock race at Senoia Speedway Robbie Gober managed

to work his way through the pack from his last place starting position

for his second victory of the evening. In a repeat from the previous race

Stan Barge and Mark Lore held on to finish second and third. In fourth

was Landon DeGraff with Toby Bowden finishing fifth. The race went caution

free for all 20 laps of the feature.

Griffin's Lloyd

Wittenburg jumped from his third row starting position to take the lead

before turn one during the first lap of the Thunder Roadster Feature Saturday

night at Senoia Speedway. He went door to door with Jonesboro's David

Moore for a few laps until lap 11 when Wittenburg spun out sending him

to the rear. Moore led the remainder of the race uncontested to take the

checkers for his second win of the season at Senoia Speedway.

Following Moore

across the line in second was Dale Akridge in the Kids R Kids Roadster

with Bob Monette following in third. Atlanta's Will Monette finished fourth

and Lloyd Wittenburg was awarded a fifth place finish after spinning out

and hitting the wall in the front straightaway.

Sharpsburg's

Matt Peeples accomplished his third consecutive victory in the Bandoleros

division at Senoia Speedway after working his way from his last place

starting position Saturday night. Following Peeples to the line was second

place finisher Trey Maughan who led up to the white flag lap of the feature.

In third was

Brandon Jackson who stayed in his second place starting position until

lap 11 when Peeples passed him to approach the front spot. Marcia Bristol

of Sharpsburg, driving her new silver 54 car, finished fourth. Braselton's

Marisa Prosser finished fifth respectively.

Saturday night's

Double Points Special in the Mini Stock feature went caution free for

all 25 laps with Ty Stewart leading from start to finish taking the checkered

flag. Following Stewart the entire race in second was Griffin's Cary Hamilton

with Fayetteville's Chris Weigman moving up from his seventh place starting

position to finish third. Griffin's Mike Chambers finished fourth with

Russell Shore rounding out the top five.

Bobby East

clenched his third win of the season taking the lead with four laps to

go at Senoia Speedway Saturday night in the Legends YL/SPII race after

starting seventh. In second following East across the line was Craig Zoellner

with Alpharetta's Michelle Theriault, who led for several laps during

the feature, finishing third. Fourth and fifth place went to Tony Yawn,

Jr. and Ron Johnson completing the top five.

Peachtree City's

Reed Sorenson led from start to finish in the Legends Pro feature Saturday

night at Senoia Speedway after two restarts which damaged 5 cars retiring

them for the evening. Sorenson was followed by Andy James who held his

second place starting position from start to finish. Finishing third was

Beau Slocumb with eighth place starter Chris Vaughan of Williamson, GA

finishing fourth. Finishing fifth was last week's winner Doug Stevens

who borrowed a car from Doug Ludwig due to his car being damaged in a

restart. Track officials allowed this to happen as there was not a lap

recorded at the time of the five car accident.

Pine Mountain's

Bob Yarbrough captured his second win of the season at Senoia Speedway

in the Sportsman division Saturday night leading from start to finish.

Last week's winner, Rod Williford, started last in the field, but moved

up to finish second after being held up by the field in several laps.

In third was Brooks' Andy Cash who held on to his second spot in the line

up until Williford passed him on lap 17. Finishing fourth was Charles

White with Mike Jenkins in fifth.
