Garrison wins at Caraway

ASHEBORO — Jeff Garrison of Clemmons captured the pole award and the victory in the first 35-lap Late Model Super Truck feature event on July 25. Cole Miktuk of Rock Hill, S.C., Gene Kepley of Lexington, Destry Gardner of Asheboro and Nathan Bess of Lexington rounded out the top five finishers.

In the second 35-lap Late Model Super Truck feature, Bess captured his third win of the season. Miktuk, Kepley, Garrison and Gardner rounded out the top five finishers.

In the 25-lap Street Stock event, Randy Dunn of Carthage took home his first win of the season. James Markwell of Archdale, Adam Welch of Bear Creek, Clyde Johnson of Sanford and Michael Worthington of High Point rounded out the top five finishers.

In the Semi-Pro Legends event, Chad Hackenbracht captured the win. In the Pro Legends event, Steven Ross took home the win and Hoyt Demis was the Masters winner.

In the 10 Lap U-Car event, Allen Vance of Randleman captured his first win of the season. Zack Bralley of Asheboro, Zack Moore of Troy, Greg Cook of Denton and James Jones of Trinity rounded out the top five finishers.

In Saturday night action, Winston Salem’s Jerame Donley captured the Bud Pole Award and went on to capture his first win of the season in the 75-lap NASCAR Late Model Stock event. Randy Burnett of Concord, Randy Benson of Rockingham, Mack Little of Kernersville and Brad Brinkley of Sanford rounded out the top five finishers.

Randleman’s Ryan Wilson qualified sixth and started in third position after the draw among 11 cars.

“We ran with the leaders during the beginning of the race and stayed in about third through 25 laps,” said Kirk Bryant, crew chief. “We had a mechanical failure in the brakes that took us out of the race.”

Bryant said he thinks the issue is in the brake pedal which locked the brakes up. The team will spend this week trying to locate and fix the problem so that they can be back on the track again this coming weekend.

Wilson’s next race is Aug. 2 at Caraway Speedway in a 75 lap event.

In the 30-lap Limited Late Model event, Brent Weaver of Clemmons took home the win. Josh Lowder of Archdale, Justin Newlin of Salisbury, Johnny Henderson of Asheboro and Randy McAnulty of Concord rounded out the top five finishers.

In the 15-lap Custom Steel Fabricators Super Mini Truck event, Carl Graves of Asheboro captured his first career win. Jerry Chriscoe of Randleman, Wesley Farmer of Asheboro, Bradley Gibby of Lexington and Wade Turner of Asheboro rounded out the top five finishers.

In the Mini Stock event, P-Nut Vernon of Walkertown captured his first win of the season. In the Cab Car event, Gary Dillard of Thomasville took home the win.

Coming up Friday will be the Late Model Super Trucks, Street Stocks, Legends & U-Car.

On Saturday it will be Kid’s Night featuring bike races for ages 3 to 6 on Hotwheels and tricycles, ages 3 to 6 on bikes, ages 7 to 10 on bikes and 11-14 on bikes. Grandstands open at 6 p.m. and the racing action gets under way at 8 p.m.
