By Tony M. Suttles

Mark Timmerman photoMark Timmerman claimed the victory in the Hooter’s B-Mini Stock Championship race ran at the Anderson Motor Speedway on Friday night June 9, 2007. Timmerman and David Darnell put on a show for the crowd as the two ran side by side for almost half of the race with the two crossing the finish line virtually dead even. Wayne Smith grabbed the lead as soon as the green flag dropped on the twenty lap race and held the lead until the end of the fourth lap when he relinquished the lead to David Darnell. When Darnell grabbed the lead position Mark Timmerman immediately took over the second position on the same lap. Timmerman began putting pressure on Darnell on lap seven and by lap twelve the two were side by side. For the final eight laps of the race the two remained side by side and as they crossed the finish line it was virtually a tie but the officials determined that Timmerman took the victory by inches plus the official scorer stated that if the two were dead even at the line the victor would be determined as the man with the inside racing line. David Darnell finished second. Chad Campbell made some daring moves including a three wide pass in order to move to third on the eighth lap of the race. While the top two were battling for the lead Campbell was closing on the two on each lap of the race and had closed within a car length when the race ended. If there had been a few more laps in the race Campbell would have made it a three way battle for the lead. But in the end Campbell settled for the third place finish. Scott Hamby finished fourth. Wayne Smith finished fifth.

Shane Gentry photoShane Gentry claimed the official victory in the Super Renegade race. Tyrone Anglin gained the lead position as soon as the race started but Shane Gentry was immediately nailed to his rear bumper. Shane Gentry bypassed Anglin on lap three of the race and took over the lead position. Gentry led the race until Whitey Suttles moved to the second position. Whitey Suttles, moved from the rear of the field to the second position and closed on Gentry on lap ten. Suttles made a bid for the lead on lap eleven but Gentry was able to hold him off. Suttles made a second attempt on lap thirteen and was able to bypass Gentry on the high side of the track. Once out front seventy year old Whitey Suttles led the final two laps and received the checkered flag. Unfortunately for Suttles his car was declared illegal following the race and Shane Gentry was awarded the official victory. Tyrone Anglin finished second. Barry Tollison finished third. Zac Lane finished fourth. Zach Anglin finished fifth.

Ken Dillard claimed the official victory in the ‘Talking Phonebook’ Renegade race. Ken Dillard led the first five laps of the race with Terry Thurston and Justin Cone all over him each lap. Thurston made several attempts to grab the lead position and finally did on lap five. But by the time Thurston made his move for the lead Justin Cone was attempting to make it three wide for the lead position. Thurston held the lead at the end of laps five and six by a nose each lap since Justin Cone was determined to take that position. Then on lap seven Cone was able to bypass Thurston and take over the lead position. For the next five laps Thurston pressured Cone but was unable to get past him. Then a caution appeared and on the restart Cone got up to speed slowly and Thurston nailed him in the rear. A caution came out for debris but Thurston spun in turn two and hit the inside wall. That removed Thurston and put Dillard in the second position. Dillard failed to press Cone as Cone led the remainder of the race and received the checkered flag. But also unfortunately for Cone his car was declared illegal following the race and Ken Dillard was awarded the official victory. Chad Watt finished second. Kevin Shaw Jr finished third. Jimbo Mann finished fourth. Mike Shaw finished fifth.

Wesley Thompson led every lap of the 600 Legends race as he claimed the overall victory and the victory in the Pro Portion of the race. Justin Ashley pressured Thompson the first fifteen laps of the race before he dropped back but then Ashley closed once again on lap eighteen and made a bid for the lead but Thompson held him off to secure the victory. Justin Ashley finished second and claimed the victory in the Semi-Pro portion of the race. Jerry Rector finished third and claimed the victory in the Masters portion of the race. John Gallman finished fourth. Andrew Brown finished fifth.

Ben Kay claimed the official victory in the C-Mini Stock race. Chad Stewart and Brandon Hendrix battled side by side the first lap of the race with Stewart taking the lead at the end of the lap. Stewart led the next five laps when a caution appeared for a mishap in turn two. During the caution Stewart was advised to take his car to the pits due to a dragging exhaust pipe. Brandon Hendrix assumed the lead position when Stewart was sent to the pits. Hendrix led the final ten laps and received the checkered flag. Ben Kay ran bumper to bumper with Hendrix and challenged him for the lead but failed to get past him. But after the race Hendrix refused to pull his car down so therefore he failed to pass post race inspection and Kay was awarded the official victory. Chad Black finished second. Michael York finished third. Zac Dillon finished fourth. Jack Kelley finished fifth.

Matt Meyers claimed the official victory in the B-M Modified division. Chuck Mitchell led the first eleven laps of the race with Meyers pressing him for the lead on every lap.
