Although Noles

staged a brilliant comeback, he laps ran out before he could catch race

leader Williams, who brought home the victory. The pay-off sheet showed

Williams in first, Mike Davidson second, and Noles in third.

In Sportsman

action, Charles White won the feature's pole position by winning his first

heat race of the season, while Andy Cash also won his heat and started

outside pole. At the drop of the green, the black #16 of White and the

blue #12 of Cash raced door-to-door for the first lap. The caution waved

on lap 2, and the single file re-start saw White on the point followed

When racing

resumed, Cash mounted an all out assault on White, who somehow managed

to turn back every move Cash made for the lead. In the meantime, action

in the rest of the field was heating up as Sportsman point leader Rod

Williford began weaving his way towards the front. On lap 13, Cash found

an opening and powered ahead of White to take the lead, and the next lap

Williford passed White for second. After swapping paint for several laps,

Williford passed Cash as the pair exited turn 2 and then held on for the

win. Cash took second, White third, Alan Kimball placed fourth and Mark

Lore finished fifth.

It was a special

double points race in the Street Stock Division, with Robbie Gober in

his black #17 starting on the pole and Mark Lore in driving the #41 in

the number two spot. On lap five Larry Pierce attempted to pass Gober

on the inside as the two exited turn four, but didn't have the necessary

horses and quickly maneuvered back into the third spot as the field entered

turn one. Gober pulled ahead on lap 14 and went on to victory. Lore finished

second, and Pierce finished with a hard fought third.

In Mini-Stocks,

Cary Hamilton used his pole starting position to power ahead of outside

pole sitter Mike Chambers. By lap six, Ty Steward was on Hamilton's bumper

as the leaders entered turn one. When Hamilton appeared to run a bit high

off the fourth turn on lap 10, Steward shot underneath the leader. Unable

to complete the pass, Steward and Hamilton then raced door handle to door

handle until the race's 13th circuit, when Steward powered to the front.

Steward finished first while Hamilton finished in second place and Chambers

finished third.

Legends Group

A saw some of the best drivers in the nation battling it out for top honors.

Future ASA star Doug Stevens sat on the pole, with Legend's sensation

Reed Sorenson in the outside front row spot. At the drop of the green,

Stevens jumped to the front with Dwight Pilgram, who started third, nipping

at his heels. After a caution on lap two, the re-start saw Stevens in

front, Pilgram second, Sorenson third, and Andy James in fourth. Stevens

managed to hold onto the lead while Sorenson passed Pilgram for second,

and Jonathan Davenport, a nationally known Legends racer, passed both

Pilgram and James to take third. Stevens, however, was not to be denied

and slowly pulled away from the field of hot shoes for the victory. Sorenson

finished second, with Davenport, James and Chris Vaughn rounding out the

top five.

After a post

race inspection, however, Sorenson was found to be illegal and disqualified.

Davenport, James and Vaughn each moved up a spot in the finishing order,

with Pilgram being awarded fifth.

In Legends

Group B, pole sitter Doug Ludwig bolted to the front when the green was

displayed, with Cindy Anderson glued to his bumper. The racing action

for third through fifth was a battle between Ron Johnson, Michelle Thierault

and Bobby East, son of former short track ace, Johnny East.

On lap eight

the trio ran three abreast around Senoia Speedway's 3/8ths high banked

asphalt oval, with East gaining the third spot on lap nine , with Johnson

taking over fourth and Theriault fifth. As Ludwig and Anderson dueled

for the top spot, East began closing and finally caught the lead group.

The wave of the checkered stopped East's quest for victory and Ludwig

went home with the win. Rounding out the top five were Anderson, East,

Johnson and Theriault, respectively.

Dale Akridge

scored another victory in Roadsters, with retired Delta Pilot Lloyd Whittenburg

taking second. In Bandolero action, Matt Peoples took home top honors,

with Trey Maughan second, Merci Bristol third, Adam Akridge fourth and

Brandon Jackson fifth.
