In Sportsman

action, Andy Cash started on the inside front row with Steve Payton in

the outside pole position. Alan Kimball started third and Charles White

started fourth. In accordance with track rules, Rod Williford, the last

feature winner in the Sportsman division, started in the eight slot. On

lap four, Williford caught White and the pair traded sheet metal until

White suffered a flat tire on lap five. White drove into the pits for

new rubber and was ready to go on the caution lap. The finishing order

had Payton taking first, Williford second, Cash third, Kimball fourth

and Mark Lore fifth. However, Cash was protested and a post race inspection

found him to be illegal. With Cash suffering a DQ, the payoff sheet saw

Payton still in first, Williford second, Alan Kimball third, Mark Lore

fourth and Billy Kimball fifth.

In Street-Stocks,

Mark Lore was on the pole with Jason Turner in the outside front row spot.

Landon DeGraff started third, Toby Bowden fourth, Larry Pierce in fifth

and Robbie Gober started in sixth. At the drop of the green, racers were

three wide entering turn one. Pierce took advantage of the situation and

bolted to the head of the pack. On the third lap, Pierce went high entering

turn three, thereby allowing both Lore and Gober to slide by on the inside.

On the next lap, Gober motored by Lore and took the lead. Although Lore,

Pierce and Turner each tried to run down the leader, none could do so

and Gober went home with another victory. The finish saw Gober first,

Lore second, Pierce third, Turner fourth and DeGraff fifth.

Mini-Stock

racing saw drivers competing for double points and double first place

money. Troy French sat on the pole and maintained the lead until a rain

delay moved all the cars off the track. With racing once again underway,

French took the lead, with Ty Stewart, Mike Chambers and Stephen Adams

right on his heels. On lap 5, Stewart moved by French and on the seventh

circuit Chambers and French were running side-by-side and trading sheet

metal. As the pair exited turn two, each suffered a flat tire. Both racers

made it out of the caution without losing a lap but the other racers began

charging hard. The results saw Stewart taking first, Hamilton second,

Chambers third, Stephen Adams fourth and Sam Adams fifth.

In Legends

Group A racing, Andy James was on the pole, with Scott Tinsley on the

outside pole. On Lap 9, Andrew Posser spun due to a slick racing surface,

and cars were ordered to pit row while wreckers began circling the track.

Shortly, the track was again dry and racing resumed. The payoff sheet

saw Stevens first, James second, Tinsley third, Perry fourth and Andrew

Posser fifth.

Legends Group

B saw Bobby East use his pole starting position to quickly take the lead,

with Cindy Anderson right on his bumper, followed by Michelle Theriault,

Bubba Harry and Ron Johnson. On lap three, Doug Ludwig, passed Johnson

going into turn three and then maneuvered around Harry as the two exited

turn four. While Anderson continued to dog East, Ludwig repeatedly tried

to pass Theriault. On lap 16, Ludwig managed to pull of the pass, only

to see the checkered wave before he could catch East and Anderson. East

took the win with Anderson second, Ludwig third, Theriault fourth and

Johnson fifth.

Dale Akridge

edged out Lloyd Whittenburg for the win in Roadsters. 15 year old Trey

Maughan from Peachtree City, Georgia got the victory in Bandolero, with

Sharpsburg's 15 year old Matt Peoples finishing second. Third went to

Brian Sharp, with Adam Akridge fourth and Heather Whittenburg fifth.

Next week's

racing program is a special attraction as the high powered, hard charging

winged Outlaw Sprint Cars invade Senoia Speedway. The United Sprint Car

Series, based out of Fayetteville, Ga., stages 35 events a year at 27

different venues in nine states. The cars typically weigh over 1,300 pounds

and their fuel injected 360 cubic inch engines produce 650 to 700 horsepower.

They utilize 25 square foot wings on top and six square foot nose wings

for traction and stability. Their tires are also bigger, usually 18 inches

wiode for traction. The cars travel in excess of 125 miles an hour.
