9.12.20 Volunteer Speedway Results
BULLS GAP, Tenn. —
Cameron Weaver set fast-time in Crate Late Model qualifying at 13.413 seconds, with Zach Sise second quickest at 13.538 to earn the outside front row starting berth for the 25-lap feature.
Weaver and Sise raced side-by-side at drop of the green flag down the front straightaway into the first turn, with Sise using the high banking rim-riding up top to carry momentum off the second corner to pull ahead of Weaver, followed by Michael Bland, Ross White and Rusty Ballenger.
With an impressive field of 31 Sportsman Late Models present, the fastest 18 from qualifying locked in and the remainder of the 24-car starting lineup was determined through a B-main. Adam Mitchell jumped out to lead on the start over Clyde Stanton, Warren McMahan, Austin Atkins and Mitchell Burke. Atkins quickly worked his way around McMahan for the third spot and Trevor Sise passed Burke for fifth just a couple of laps in.
Mitchell had his hands full with the hard-charging Stanton and with five laps to go Stanton was looking underneath the leader racing off the corners. On lap 17 racing down the backstretch into the third turn, Stanton drove to the inside to pass Mitchell. But as the duo raced down the front straightaway into the first turn beginning lap 18, Mitchell muscled his way to the inside of Stanton with a slide job to reclaim the lead.
But the “Mule Hollow Missle” Stanton was not going down without a fight, and on the final lap he shot to the inside of Mitchell entering the third turn. Stanton and Mitchell raced off the fourth turn side-by-side with Stanton, from Knoxville, edging Mitchell at the flag stand for his third win on the season. Finishing third through fifth, respectively, were Atkins, Sise and McMahan.
Veteran driver Gary Blanken was badly injured in a racing accident back in May at another track in East Tennessee and the 57-year-old was hopeful of making his return to racing a triumphant one. Blanken led the first 12 laps of the Modified Street race before slowing with mechanical issues between turns one and two to bring out the caution. Kaleb Trent moved to the point for the restart followed by Bobbie Petty, and Petty wasted no time in challenging for the lead. Looking for his first-ever win at “The Gap,” Petty made his move to the inside passing Trent on lap 15 racing into the first turn. Once out front there would be no looking back for Petty, from Tazewell, as he captured the victory over Trent, Lance Creasman, Landon Steele and John Grooms.
Wayne Rader, Rex Coffey and Tony Trent battled three-wide on occasion during the Street Stock feature but in the end there would be no denying Rader, from Parrottsville, his fourth win on the season. He was chased to the checkered flag by Coffey, Trent, Johnathan Miracle and Logan Cobb.
Darrell Teffeteller of Blaine captured his first-ever Front Wheel Drive win over Chris Robinson, Joey Knowles, James Ray and Scott Velez.
