Anderson Speedway and CRA PR Reports

With the fastest 10 cars inverted for the start, Allman started on the pole position alongside Rich Boyer and rocketed into the lead. Boyer was able to stay close to Allman until lap 10 when he was black flagged as the result of a leaking valve cover.

"This is my first CRA win and I have to thank Motion Motors and Outlaw Racing without them it would not have been possible."  Allman commented.  "I also want to thank my sponsors, my crew, and everybody that stuck in there and did it.  It is easy when you are driving a car that ran like this one did tonight."

That moved Kentucky driver Rick Erwin and he was able to hold off Brian Hopkins to record the second and third place finish.

There was spirited racing for the second to fifth position over the final five laps with Parham holding off Jeff Lane, who twice made pit stops during caution periods and fought his way back to a fifth place finish.

The best racing of the night took place in the middle stages of the race with Calvin Parham and fast qualifier Josh Poore battling side by side for the fifth position. Poore was finally able to get inside of Parham on lap 32 coming off the second corner. But Poore’s bid for victory ended on lap 43 when he tangled with the lapped car of J.J. Schafer on the back straight. Poore and Steve Christman suffered flat tires after making slight contact following the main incident.

The race was red flagged on lap five when Shawn Smith lost his brakes entering turn three and made heavy contact with Larry Lathan. The incident also collected John Weisenauer and Rod Phipps. The race was slowed by five cautions.

Allman earned the Turn One High Performance Steering Award for leading the most laps. He also earned the Crumrine Buckle Manufacturing custom best buckle to commemorate the victory. Erwin took home the McGunegill Engine Performance Award. Frankie Oakes earned the TCI Automotive Hardcharger Award for finishing 11 spots ahead of where he started.

The next race for the CRA Street Stocks will be the MAX 40 at Winchester Speedway during the exciting World Stockcar Festival Labor Day weekend. The weekend will also feature the CRA Super Series in the McGunegill Engine Performance 100, the Howe CRA Late Model Sportsman, Vore’s Welding and Steel CRA FWD Compacts, the USA Modifieds and Thunder Endro Cars as well as the legendary Labor Day party featuring the band Crossfire in the pavilion Sunday night.
