Boyer, Warner, Tharp, Stiffler and Ensor Collect Feature Victories
A hot night saw some sizzling racing at the world’s fastest high banked quarter mile as the Street Stocks, the WMDH Thunder Cars, the Mini Cups and the Front Wheel Drive Figure 8's were in action.

Rich Boyer took the checkered flag in the Street Stock feature. Boyer grabbed the lead from Derrick Layne on the first lap of the race and constructed a 15 car length lead at the halfway point. Josh Burton and Rob Allman battled hard for second for the first half of the race with Allman getting second on the high side on lap 18. Allman then set his sights on Boyer but ran out of laps and settled for runner-up honors. Burton placed third with Derrick Layne and Todd Marsh rounded out the top five.

The WMDH ThunderCars took to the track with Nick Warner leading every lap and taking the checkered flag. The front four were nose to tail from lap two as Warner dealt with lapped traffic throughout the race. Rob Wyman, Sr., who challenged Warner nearly every lap, could not find a way around and finished second. Rod Phipps and Phil Jenkins ran third and fourth with Sam Folsom coming home fifth for the ThunderCar division sponsored by Hit Country 102.5 WMDH.

The Mini Cups Future Stars were showcased their talent as Bradley Stiffler finished first. Stiffler took the lead before a lap had been completed and held a car length advantage throughout the race over Austin Johnson who ended up second. Trey Craig and Matthew Lorance never let the front two out of their sights, and rounded out the top four. A battle took place for the fifth position as Erica Ensor and Amanda Harrison swapped the spot from the halfway point all the way to the finish with Ensor securing the position.

The Adult Mini Cups were a different story as two lead changes saw Ed Ensor seeing checkered. Ensor was running second for the first half of the race when debris brought out the yellow, and the 17 capitalized on a mistake by Scott Swem a few laps after the restart and never looked back. Todd Wilfang and Geoff Gerline also took advantage of the Swem miscue and came home third and fourth as Swem captured the fifth spot.

Rickie Tharp took home the Front Wheel Drive Figure 8ight trophy. Tharp dealt with lapped traffic for most of the race with the middle of the crossover seeing all kinds of action. The lead changed hands between Tharp and Bill Leisure a few times when the traffic stacked up in the middle of the Figure 8 course. Nick Warner slipped by Leisure on the last lap to come home second with Josh Tharp and Donnie Ellis, Jr. rounding out the top five.

Next Saturday night the longest running stock car race returns to Anderson Speedway hosts the 61st Annual Best Way Disposal National Crown for Figure 8's. Also added to the event will be a special appearance by the Motion Motors Late Models. Front wheel Drive Oval cars and the Pure Stocks will also be in action.
