Mitchell continues to dominate the field at Senoia Speedway

Tallahassee, Florida’s Marc Mitchell returned to his winning ways in the Late Modeldivision last weekend as he was victorious in two out of six races on Saturday night at Senoia Speedway. Mitchell passed pole setter Wayne Hansard for the lead and eventual win with 18 laps remaining for his six win of the season.

Finishing behind Mitchell and Hansard was Jr. Hardy who collected the Budweiser Pole Award with a 13.957 second lap only to have a three turn up on the die forcing him to start inside on the second row behind Hansard.

Cumming’s Darin Cronan in his Chevy Camaro led 28 of the 30 laps during the Sportsman feature with Andy Cash closing the gap to a car length crossing the finish line. The win was Cronan’s first of the 2000 season.

Senoia’s Mark Lore took the lead with 14 laps remaining to record his third win of the season in Saturday night’s Street Stock Feature. Last week’s winner Robbie Gober finished second with Larry Pierce in third after Pierce led the opening 13 laps of the event.

Gay, Georgia’s Troy French, driving his Ford Mustang II sponsored by French Grading, returned to victory lane for the eighth time of the season as he led teammate Darrell Carlson from the drop of the green to the checkered in the Mini Stock feature Saturday night at Senoia Speedway.

Marc Mitchell covered the field in the Pro and Semi-Pro division from start to finish as he recorded his eighth win of the season having led every lap from the drop of the green flag. Shane Upchurch was not as strong as he was last week having to settle for a second place finish.

Brandon Brilliant led all 20 laps from his pole starting position in the Legends Young Lyons/Charges feature for his third win of the season in his Hale Aircraft sponsored Legend. Finishing a close second after an early wreck on lap four was Joey Boyer. The major competition took place in the battle between our third through fifth finishers as Cindy Anderson edged out Bubba Pollard at the line for third, with Bobby East rounding out the top five.
