In the Allan

Vigil Ford Pro Late Model 100-lap feature event, Ronnie Sanders

recorded the fastest qualifying speed, then rolled a three on the dice

placing him behind Rusty Clanton who started the race from the pole position.

Ronny Kittle

started the event alongside Clanton on the front row. When the green flag

waved, Clanton jumped out to an early lead, followed by Sanders and Kittle.

On lap 6, contact was made between Clanton and Sanders on the front straight-away

which resulted in a spin. When racing resumed, the running order was Kittle,

Wayne Hansard, and Linny Foster.

with Kittle still in the lead, Warren Mobley advanced into the third place

position and Bobby East continued in the fifth place position with Sanders

moving back into the top five in the fourth place position while Hansard

remained in second place. Sanders advanced into the third place position

on lap 20, then into second on lap 30 with Clanton occupying the third

place position.

On lap 38,

with Kittle still in the lead, a spin occurred in turn one causing front

running contender Warren Mobley to crash his machine having no way to

avoid making contact with another machine. The crash caused considerable

damage to Mobley's machine; However, following attention from his crew,

Mobley returned to competition.

On lap 50,

Sanders started pressuring Kittle for the lead, and made the pass on lap

54 placing him into the lead position; the running order on lap 54 was

Sanders, Kittle, Clanton and East.

The running

order would remain the same until lap 88 when Kittle slipped past Sanders

and took back the lead position. Kittle would continue to lead the event

and captured the checkered flag; Kittle was followed by Sanders, Clanton,

Scotty Ellis and Wayne Hansard.

In the Sportsman

feature, points leader Rod Williford led the event flag-to-flag to take

the win.

In the Legend's

Pro / Masters feature, points leader Andy James led flag-to-flag to take

the checkered flag.

Semi-Pro feature, points leader Bubba Harry led the event flag-to flag

With a $100

Bounty being offered to the driver who stops Terry Mathis' 6 race winning

habit, the Aaron's Pro Challenge event proved to be one of the more anticipated

events of the evening. Mathis started the feature from the pole with Kyle

Kennedy joining him on the front row. When the green flag waved, Mathis

jumped out to an early lead, followed closely by: Kennedy, Brian Sharp

and Cameron Micheal.

On lap 4, Sharp

slipped past Kennedy to take over the second place position and began

to reel Mathis in. Sharp would continue to pressure Mathis the remaining

laps of the event; however, Mathis refused to give up the top spot and

took the checkered flag.

The Bounty

will roll over to next week's race with $25 being added to the purse for

the driver who can stop Mathis. Sharp and Kennedy, along with Pro Challenge

driver's Stephen Curlee and Cameron Micheal continue to improve each week

and are considered to be among the top contenders to collect the Bounty

money.

with Jonathan Chandler joining him on the front row. When the green flag

waved, Chandler advanced into the lead position on lap one and went on

to take the win.

in the Modified Street Stock feature.
