Timmonsville, SC(March 31st, 2012) — Mother nature tried to ruin the day but she was denied. Racing went off without a hitch on Saturday night and the fans in the stands where treated to some hard nose short track racing.

Michael Elliott picked up the win after starting from the pole in the Late Model division. If not for a late race caution, Ronnie Daniels who came home second would have run down Elliott for the lead. Clay Thomas, who was at one point during the race, racing Elliott for the lead finished in third.

Wayne Locklair built him a brand new Super Stock car for this year and came out of the box strong picking up the win. Merrick Driggers came home second and picked up the $100 bonus from Carolina Batteries. Tommy Lilly and William Hutson rounded out the top four.

Ricky Locklair and Tyler Price both put on a heck of a show with Locklair barely taking the win over Price. The two battled side by side for numerous laps with Locklair taking the edge late in the race. Betty Vaughn in her first Street Stock race came home third while Dan Brown was fourth.

Kevin Jackson started from the pole and led every lap in the Stock 4 Cylinder race picking up the win. Toby Milligan worked his way up to second followed by Colt Cook, Rodney Poole and Greg Tumbleston.

Aaron Miller got around Mark Dean on a late race restart and pulled away to pick up the win in the Bomber division. Dean was second followed by Jason Miller, Tommy Travelstead and Tony Hart.

John Hunter Nemechek picked up his first win of the season beating out Hunter Moody in the Allison Legacy Car Series race.

We’ll do it all again next Saturday night. The Late Models, Super Stock, Street Stocks, Stock 4 Cylinders, Bombers and Cruzer Bruzers will all be racing. Racing action will start at 8 PM. Admission to the grandstands will be $10 for Adults 13 and up, $5 for Kids ages 8 to 12, and kids under 8 are free.
