ANDY ANDERSON’S DOMINATING FOURTH TRIUMPH NETS $4,000
HAGERSTOWN, MD (September 5) - Turned loose with a new MBH racer at mid-season and winning the Appalachian Speedweek finale that night, Andy Anderson has been nothing but fast since. Saturday, for the fourth time, he turned in another dominating performance to pick up $4,000 by having a 6.634 second lead over Keith Jackson at the checkered on Kids Autograph Night.
Anderson also went into the night trailing Marvin Winters by only six points in the title chase with double points received. Winters finished fourth with both drivers receiving 530 points and named Co-Track Champions for 2015.
“The first half of the season, we struggled a lot,” Anderson, of Martinsburg,WV said. ”After switching to the MBH chassis, it allowed me to make a lot of progress and ultimately be in victory lane more and be the late model co-champ with Marvin Winters.”
Lined up from time trials and heat finished, Jackson and Anderson occupied the front row with Anderson taking command with Gary Stuhler and Winters behind Jackson.
Anderson was to the rear of the field by the 12th lap while Jackson took over the next circuit. Anderson battled back and retook the lead on the 19th.
Once in charge, Anderson was totally in charge the second 20 laps as he continued to stretch the distance back to Jackson with each lap until reaching the checkered. Kyle Hardy finished thir4d with Winters and Stuhler completing the top five.
With Baltimore’s Paul Cursey and previous weeks winner Kyle Lee on the front row for the Late Model Sportsman feature, Cursey led off with third starting Justin Weaver quickly grabbing the runner up spot ahead of Lee.
Cursey waded into the rear traffic on the 14th lap with the others following and he continued to lead while Kurt Zimmerman and Keith Walls took over third and fourth on the 23rd lap with Lee relegated to fifth at the finish.
“We’ve missed the set up through the middle of the season,” Cursey said. “Finally we rebounded tonight and what a great way to finish off the points with a win and also, this gives us momentum going into the National races.”
Scott Palmer, who went into the night with the largest lead in any division, 40 points, was declared the Late Model Champion for his first ever time at the track.
For the second consecutive week, the previous weeks winner Jamie Zentmyer from Waynesboro started sixth while Kevin Koontz and Mike Corbin began on the Pure Stock front row.
Corbin bolted out front over Koontz while Zentmyer was third by the second lap and second by the fourth. Points leader Chris Ebersole came from tenth and was into third by the tenth lap.
Meanwhile, Zentmyer was using his time to battle side by side for several laps with Corbin before securing the lead on the 11th. He went on to claim the win by 1.660 seconds over Corbin, Ebersole, Keith Koontz and Kevin Koontz.
”That was great to race side by side for several laps with Mike (Corbin),” Zentmyer said. “I hoped the fans enjoyed the entertainment we brought to the track.”
Ebersole earned his first ever Pure Stock championship by 15 points over Zentmyer.
With defending Hobby Stock race winner Gary Proctor and Jamie Mills on the front row, Proctor, from Big Pool, Md. pulled to the front and never looked back. Mills chased him to the end to finish 1.092 second behind the 11 time winner. Tom Caravello, Marshall McMullen and Jeff Dillon were next.
“I can’t thank my crew enough for all their dedication and getting us to the Hobby Stock Championship,” Proctor said.
