Timmerman claimed the official victory in the B-Mini Stock race ran at
the Anderson Motor Speedway on Friday night August 17, 2007. Scott

Timmerman was on Hamby’s rear bumper. Timmerman repeatedly pressured
Hamby for the next five laps but was unable to get underneath him.
Then on lap seventeen Hamby slipped a little and Timmerman grabbed the
inside line. Hamby was able to out power Timmerman until the white
flag dropped. Timmerman crossed the line ahead of Hamby by less than a
foot and took over the lead position. But Hamby was not ready to give
up. The two battled side by side the final lap of the race but
