Sprint Car Racing heats up Senoia track

Wild and exciting Winged Outlaw Sprint Car Racing was on tap Saturday night at Senoia Speedway as the United Sprint Car Series (U.S.C.S.) racing series invaded the 3/8-mile track for their last appearance of the 2000 season.

Kenny Adams of Malabar, FL. took the lead for the win on lap 13 from his second row starting position for his tenth straight win in a row, in spite of a flat right rear tire as he took the checkered flag.

In the Sportsman division, Union City's Rod Williford passed second places finisher Steve Payton on the third lap leading from that lap on to collect a bounty placed on Andy Cash along with his first win of the 2000 season in the Sportsman division at Senoia Speedway. Cash finished third with Mark Lore in fourth ahead of Cooper in fifth.

Robbie Gober from Locust Grove grabbed the lead for the win just four laps into the Street Stock feature to record his fifth win. Senoia's Mark Lore finished second to Gober with Fayetteville's Mike Steffens in third with Jason Turner and Larry Pierce rounding out the top five.

Thirteen Mini Stocks started Saturday nights feature with the third place finisher, Mike Chambers from Griffin, inheriting his first win of the season after the cars of Troy French and Darrell Carlson were disqualified for illegal motors when Cary Hamilton protested them after the race. Hamilton was disqualified last week for the same infraction. Second place was awarded to Josh Mattison with Cary Hamilton, Shawn Morman and James Waite rounding out the top five.

Senoia's Bubba Pollard led from start to finish for his seventh win of the season in the Young Lyons/Chargers Division of the Legends series at Senoia Speedway. Blake Powers was second with last weeks winner Scott Tinsley in third followed by Cindy Anderson and Michelle Theriault in fourth and fifth.

Locust Grove's Shane Upchurch took the lead with 11-laps remaining for his fourth win of the season in the Pro Division at Senoia Speedway. Doug Stevens, who led the first 13-circuits, finished second with Reed Sorenson third followed by Walt Brannen in fourth and Andy James in fifth.
