By Tony M. Suttles

Jeffrey Kummer claimed the official victory in the twenty lap Brown Motorsports (B-M) Modified Summer Championship race ran at the Anderson Motor Speedway on Friday night June 27, 2008. The victory was the second victory in a row for Kummer. Trey Gibson held the lead the first fourteen laps of the race before he relinquished the position to Kummer. Once out front Kummer pulled to a car length advantage and held it to secure the victory. Trey Gibson finished second. Chuck Mitchell finished third. Alan Mitchell finished fourth. Casey Tucker finished fifth.

Mark Timmerman claimed the official victory in the B-Mini Stock race. BJ Thrasher grabbed the lead position as soon as the green flag dropped on the race. On lap two Mark Timmerman moved to the second position. Thrasher immediately pulled to a two car length advantage and appeared to be on his way to his second victory of the season. But at the end of lap six as he exited turn four his car got real loose as he exited turn four and it took all he had to regather the car under himself. Thrasher maintained the lead but this slip up allowed Mark Timmerman to cut the lead to less than a car length. For the next five laps Thrasher kept his car under control but at the end of lap eleven he slipped again and this time Timmerman made a run on the high side and took over the lead. Soon after Timmerman took the lead David Darnell, Chad Campbell, and several other cars also bypassed Thrasher. Eventually Thrasher spun and dropped out of the race. Once out front Timmerman pulled to a two car length advantage and held it the remainder of the race. Darnell and Campbell battled several laps with Darnell taking the position in the end. David Darnell finished second. Chad Campbell finished third. Brad Burdette finished fourth. Michael York finished fifth.

Zac Lane claimed the official victory in the Super Renegade race. Lane led every lap of the race and claimed his second victory of the season. Whitey Suttles ran close to Lane the first eleven laps of the race but apparently experienced a problem and dropped back to the fourth position on lap twelve. Once Suttles dropped off Lane’s pace Lane stretched his advantage and in the end he took the victory by more than a straight away over his nearest competitor. Sam Roberts took over the second position on lap twelve and held the position till the end of the race. Earl Young finished third. Whitey Suttles finished fourth. Eddie Henderson finished fifth.

Chad Watt claimed the official victory in the Renegade race. Watt and Bryan Beckner battled side by side the first two laps of the race until a caution appeared. When the race was restarted watt was posted at the front and he immediately grabbed a car length advantage over Beckner. Shawn Campbell moved to the second position near the middle of the race but by then Watt had about a six car length advantage. Campbell immediately began to cut into Watt’s advantage and by lap twelve he was running bumper to bumper with Watt. Campbell took a look under Watt on lap thirteen but on lap fourteen he slipped a little in turn three and this allowed Watt just enough distance to secure the victory. The victory was the first of the season for Watt. Shawn Campbell finished second. Bryan Beckner finished third. Jim Reynolds finished fourth. Chris Whitfield finished fifth.

 Devin Jones claimed the overall victory and the victory in the Semi Pro portion of the 600 Legends race. Jones and Kevin Eskew battled the first lap of the race with Jones taking the lead at the end of the lap. On lap two Jerry Rector moved to the second position and immediately went after the leader. Rector made several bids for the lead and took the lead on the ninth lap. But Rector’s time at the front was short-lived because Jones repassed him on lap eleven in order to retake the top position. Once out front Jones pulled to a three car length advantage and held it the remainder of the race. Kevin Eskew took over the second position on lap twelve but failed to mount a challenge for the lead position. Kevin Eskew finished second. Jerry Rector finished third and claimed the victory in the Masters portion of the race. Justin Ashley finished fourth and claimed the victory in the Pro portion of the race. John Gallman finished fifth.
