into the third place position. Clanton began to pressure Ellis for the

lead, and on lap 37, Clanton was involved in a spin in turn one resulting

in a caution. This moved Kittle into the second place position with Hansard

in the third place position.

When the green

flag waved on the restart, Kittle slipped past Ellis to take over the

lead as the field recorded lap 38 and held on to take the checked flag,

Kittle was followed by Ellis, Hansard, Clanton, Law and Charlie Bagwell.

In the Modified

Dan Oxenford joining him on the front row. When the green flag waved,

Mike Chambers established himself as the leader for the first part of

the event, and Chambers clearly had a his machine in good order for the

occasion. However, with 10 laps remaining, Chambers' experienced engine

problems when a large blast of smoke emitted from his machine while exiting

turn two and proceeding down the back straight-away.

With chambers

forced to withdraw from competition, Dan Oxenford, who had been in Chambers'

review mirror during the entirety of the event, took over the lead position

and went on to take the win. Dan Oxenford was followed by Adams, Chuck

Oxenford, Mike Green and Chambers, who took fifth-place honors for his

efforts.

took the green flag from the pole position and led the Legends Pro/Masters

event flag-to-flag to take top honors. This was Anderson's first win of

the evening. Doc Lee started the event from the pole position with Bubba

Harry joining him on the front row. When the green flag waved, Lee jumped

out to an early lead with multi-time winner Harry pressuring him for the

position.

On the second

lap, Emily Cone joined in the battle for the lead by diving low going

into turn three within inches of Lee's rear bumper; leaving Harry pushed

up the speedway in the outside grove. Lee and Cone's machine made contact

as they exited turn four while engaged in the heated battle which resulted

in both machines spinning. This advanced Harry into the lead position,

followed by Casey Tate, Adam Quattlebaum and Aaron Brooks.

When racing

resumed, Harry remained the race leader when on lap 18, Tate and Quattlebaum

made contact on the back straight-away which resulted in both machines

crashing into the inside retaining wall. Both drivers were uninjured in

the incident, but their machines were damaged beyond repair and they were

forced to withdraw from the event. This changed the running order to Harry,

Lee, Cone and Brooks. The running order would remain the same the remaining

laps with Harry taking the win.

In the OPTECH

the event from the pole position, Chandler was followed by Kyle Mitchell,

Pro Challenge 20-lap feature, with a $225 Bounty on him, Terry Mathis

lead the event from flag-to-flag to take yet another win. While several

drivers have challenged Mathis for the top position in this division,

Mathis has been flawless in his effort to win; and seems determined to

collect the Bounty money for himself when the Bounty challenge expires

in July. Next week the Bounty moves up to $250 dollars going to the driver
