Griffin went

on to take the checkered flag, with Hansard finishing second. Dale George,

who only weeks ago demolished a new car when he became airborne and headed

toward the grandstand until the retaining fence stopped him, finished

third, with Bynam fourth and Hardy fifth.

In Sportsman

action, Fayetteville's Rod Williford took the win with Payton finishing

second. Williford started the race at the pole and held off Payton's charges.

Finishing third through fifth were Cash, Larry Pierce and Alan Kimball.

Street Stock

racing was as fierce and competitive as ever. Robbie Gober, sitting behind

the wheel of the Locust Grove Sports Car machine, sat on the pole and

jumped to an early lead with Hampton's Stan Barge right on his bumper.

As the pack behind them fought for position, the action heated up. The

finish saw Gober in front, Stan Barge second, Mark Lore third, Jason Turner

fourth and Mark Ward fifth.

Mini-stock

action saw the #8 of Cary Hamilton starting on the pole with the #55 of

Keith Adams on the outside front row position. By lap two Hamilton was

in front, followed by Adams, Troy French and Ty Stewart, who was the last

feature winner in mini-stock and had to start eighth. French and Stewart

battled nose-to-nose for several laps until Stewart finally pulled ahead

on the 10th lap. Following Stewart to the checkered flag were Hamilton,

French, Chris Wieignan and Mark Chambers, second through fifth, respectively.

In the Legends

Young Lions- Semi Pro II division, Bobby East used his outside pole position

to cruise to victory. However, positions 2 through 5 proved to be the

real hotspot of racing.

Cindy Anderson

driving the #167, Jarrett Jerrigan piloting the #24, the #27 driven by

Doug Ludwig and the #14 with Michelle Theriault behind the wheel staged

an all-out battle right from the start until Theriault finally managed

to pull ahead and get a firm hold on the second spot. Anderson, Jenigan

and Ludwig, however, continued their battle by passing each other several

times, only to find themselves crossing the finish line three abreast.

The final order saw East taking first, Theriault second, with Anderson

third, Ludwig fourth and Jenigan fifth.

A field of

31 cars comprised the field for the Legends Semi-Pro I and Masters race,

which included a stipulation that any driver deciding to start at the

rear of the field could collect $1,400 if he or she went on to victory.

Future ASA star Doug Stevens, along with Jonathon Davenport and Virgil

Brown, accepted the challenge and started on the tail end.

Pole sitter

and 15-year-old Legends sensation Reed Sorenson quickly jumped to the

front followed by Walt Brannon in the Clint Brannon Manufacturing Special,

Eric King and Dwight Pilgrim in the T&D Retaining Walls entry. King

soon had mechanical trouble and was forced to retire for the evening.

The finish

saw Sorenson take win, followed by Brannon, Stevens, Davenport and Scott

Tinsley in the #15 Payton Machine Works car.

The Roadster

division saw retired Delta pilot Lloyd Wittenburg take first in a nose-to-

nose finish with Dale Akeridge second. Don Snyder finished third.

15 year old

Matt Peoples took the checkers in Bandoleros, with 15 year old Trey Maughan

second, 16 year old Brandon Jackson third, 14 year old Ryan Gattlin fourth

and Tina Johnson fifth. 11 year old Adam Akridge of Lilburn, Georgia was

sixth and 15 year old Marcie Bristol rounded out the field.

Next week's

racing program at Senoia Speedway includes not only a regular racing program,

but also a Super 8 event for the highpowered, hard charging Pro Late Model

division, which means 100 laps of door-to-door racing on Senoia Speedway's

oval.
