In the third week of racing at Atlanta Motor Speedway's Thursday

Thunder Racing series, Fayetteville's Trey Maughan finished in second

place in the Outlaw division for the second week in a row, behind Vince

Ponder of Brooks. Ponder had finished in fourth place the week before

and in fifth place in the opening week. The Outlaws division is shaping

up to be real competitive between raacers from the southside, including

Maughan, Ponder and Senoia's Tina Johnson.

Other local racers with good finishes last week were Fayetteville's

Chris Siebert, who placed eighth in the Bandits division, Peachtree City's

Ed Clark, who placed 11th in the Masters division, Senoia's Tina Johnson,

who placed fourth in Outlaw, and Senoia's Phillip Bell, who placed

10th in Chargers.
