With no points on the line, the Atlanta Motor Speedway hosted an off-season race leading up to the opening of the 2011-12 Winter Flurry season, beginning Nov. 12.
The Buzz Car feature got underway with Timmy Bishop in the lead. Bishop led wire-to-wire to win the event.
The combined Morley Company Outlaws and Papa John’s Bandits feature started with Taylor Jorgensen as the leader. On a lap 12 restart, Joshua Hicks maneuvered past to take the lead. But the next lap, Jorgenson muscled back past to regain the point. On lap 16, Jorgenson and Hicks collided while racing for the lead, also collecting Christopher Clanton and Devon Barnes. The race restarted with Chandler Smith leading the field. Smith led the rest of the way to claim the win in his Papa John’s Bandits car.
Evan Bell began the Young Lions feature out front. With two laps to go, Riley Thornton spun out, leading to a green-white-checkered finish. On the restart, Bell escaped cleanly, taking the checkered flag.
The Semi-Pro feature began with Justin Thomas on the pole. On lap 16, Emilee Riley spun to bring out the caution. On the restart, Thomas held off a hard charging Luke Behnke to earn the victory.
Mike Kennedy was the pole sitter for the combined Masters and Pro feature. Terry Mathis powered past to grab the lead on the first circuit. On lap 16, Taylor Hull eased his Pro machine past Mathis to move into first. The only Pro driver in the field, Hull defeated the Masters racers for the win.
Short-track racing returns to Atlanta Motor Speedway on Saturday, Nov. 12 for week number one of the seven-week Winter Flurry season. For more information, visit www.atlantamotorspeedway.com.
