Wartburg Speedway Results 05-02-2008
With skies threatening, it was a race against Mother Nature to get
this past Friday night's racing program in. The racing managed to get
completed for another night of fender-bending, paint-swapping close
quarters action in the bullring known as "The 'Burg". In Super Late
Model, the entry list was small with only four cars but Anthony White
again set fast time with a 13.327 time. The Sportsman class' fast
qualifier was Mark Leach with a 13.282 time, beating out "The Wizard
Of Roz" Mark Rosner by two-thousandths of a second. In Street Stock,
the fast qualifier was Reagan Williams with a 15.525 time.
The Mini Stock class was filled with action as usual with the #3-6 of
Lance Frost winning the first heat with the #24 of Jim Frost in second
and in the second heat, it was the #8 of Brian Frost with the win and
the #51 of JR Goode in second. In the feature, Brian Frost appeared to
have things in hand, holding off the challenge of Rocky McNabb, only
for mechanical problems to set in halfway through the feature, giving
the #3-6 of Lance Frost the lead. On the restart, Frost was passed by
the #D2 of Darren Goins and Goins went back-to-back at "The 'Burg"
with a thrilling charge from the back of the pack to the front. Goode
had a strong second place finish, Lance Frost came home third, Jim
Frost came home fourth and the #01 of Rocky McNabb came home fifth.
Brian Frost and Ben Bell brought up the rear.
In the Super Late Model feature, the #2x of Anthony White led
flag-to-flag for another win at Wartburg Speedway with the #21 of
Billy Ogle Jr. second, the #44 of Chris Marcum third, and the #23 of
Tim Damron bringing up the rear.
The Sportsman class put on an exciting show with the #66 of Mark
Leach and the #17 of Mark Rosner nose-to-tail for most of the race
with Leach going back to back at Wartburg Speedway with Rosner having
to settle for second, the #7 of Darrick York third, the #91 of Dale
nance fourth, and the #0 of Ross White fifth. Gary Lively finished
sixth with Jeff Adkisson seventh, Travis Armes eighth, Jason Manley
ninth, and Danny Adkins rounding out the top ten. Rounding out the
field were Brian Hooks and Chris Seeber with Chuck Freels.
In the Street feature, it was Reagan Williams going wire-to-wire for
three in a row with the #44 of Nick Nelson a very close second, the
#17 of Joe Seiber third, the #40 of Troy Brown fourth, and the #M14 of
Wayne Lewis fifth. Dustin Wilson finished sixth with Doug York and
Jonathan Sims rounding out the field.
And last, but most certainly not least, the Front Wheel Drive class
had the #26 of Kenny May win the first heat with the # 4 of Robert
Lewis second. In the second heat, it was the #20 of Spunky Brown with
the win with the #5x of Joe Freels in second. In the feature, it was
Kenny May going the distance for the win with the #17 of Andrew Green
in second as Brown had to settle for third with Freels in fourth and
Lewis in fifth. Sixth was Justin Scott with Blake Hall and Michelle
Patterson bringing up the rear. Chris Morrison did not start the
feature.
Coming up next week is the $3,000 to win Southern Regional Racing
Series event at Wartburg Speedway for the Super Late Models. Will
Anthony White go home $3,000 richer or will someone beat "The Dirty
White Boy" in his backyard? Come out next week and find out. Plus the
other support classes will be in action for some thrill-a-minute
action at "The Greatest Show On Dirt". See you at the races, fans!
