By Tony M. Suttles

Mark Timmerman claimed the official victory in the B-Mini Stock race during the season opener races ran at the Anderson Motor Speedway on Friday night March 21, 2008. In an unusual circumstance for Timmerman he found himself at the front of a field of cars that it did not appear he could take a victory from. Following his victory Timmerman stated, “Sometimes it is better to be lucky than good. I ran the car as fast as it would run and if it wasn’t for the misfortunes of the other drivers I would not have taken this win.” Chad Campbell and Wayne Hammond battled side by side the first three laps of the race while David Darnell moved up to the third position. On lap four there was contact between Campbell and Hammond and Campbell took a narrow lead. Before the lap was complete Darnell moved under Hammond and made contact with Campbell and the two got tangled up together. Following this incident Hammond gained the top position and Campbell and Darnell was sent to the rear. Hammond led the next five laps before the motor blowed in his car. Following Hammond’s demise Timmerman took over the lead position with Scott Hamby moving into the second position. Hamby ran close to Timmerman a couple of laps but failed to press him for the lead. Timmerman eventually pulled away from Hamby as he led the final half of the race and claimed the victory. Scott Hamby finished second. Brad Burdette finished third. Trey Gibson finished fourth. Chad Campbell finished fifth.

Chris Ingle claimed the official victory in the Renegade division. Chris Whitfield led the first two laps of the race with Ken Dillard pressing him the entire time. Dillard took over the lead on the third lap with Chris Ingle and Ray McAdams moving to second and third respectively the next lap. Ken Dillard was repeatedly pressured by Ingle and finally relinquished the lead to him on lap twelve. McAdams followed Ingle to move into the second spot. Ingle and McAdams battled the final three laps with McAdams making a move for the lead on the final lap but a lapped car was in his way which made him slow and almost cost him the second position. While McAdams maneuvered by the lapped car Ingle took the checkered flag. Ray McAdams finished second. Ken Dillard finished third. Chris Whitfield finished fourth. Bryan Beckner finished fifth.

Wesley Thompson claimed the overall victory and the victory in the Pro portion of the 600 Legends race. Thompson was pressed the first half of the race by RS Senter but following a caution on lap ten Thompson was able to pull away from his nearest competitor the final ten laps of the race. RS Senter held on to finish second overall and claim the victory in the Semi-Pro portion of the race. Kevin Eskew finished third. Jerry Rector finished fourth overall and claimed the official victory in the Masters portion of the race. John Gallman finished fifth.

Zack Dillon claimed the official victory in the C-Mini Stock race. Dillon led the first lap of the race but relinquished the lead to Chad Black on lap two. Black led the next three laps before Dillon reclaimed the top spot. Once out front for the second time Dillon gradually pulled away from his nearest competitor and led the remainder of the laps on his way to the victory. Chad Black finished second. Kayla Pritchett finished third. Brandon Hendrix finished fourth. Austin Northcutt finished fifth.

Austin Aker claimed the official victory in the Young Guns division. Avery Burgess finished second. The Young Guns drivers ran with the C-Mini Stock drivers once again since there was a limited number of drivers competing.

Chuck Mitchell claimed the official victory in the B-M Modified race. For the majority of the race Mitchell held the third position but was able to move to second as the race neared its conclusion. A caution appeared soon thereafter and it became an unfortunate situation for Matt Meyer whom had led every lap of the race thus far. Following the caution Mitchell immediately placed the pressure on Meyer and took over the lead the following lap. Once out front Mitchell led the final lap and took the victory. Matt Meyer finished second. Jeffrey Kummer finished third. Will Ragsdale finished fourth. Shawn Mize finished fifth.
