| Florida Pro Series: Anderson Back in Winner's Circle | By Marty Little
The Florida Pro Series late models invaded Bronson Motor Speedway Saturday night and as expected Dick Anderson wheeled his familiar black No. 92 to victory in the 100 lap feature event.
Starting fifth in the 20 car field, Anderson, who was the fastest qualfier at 13.23 fell in line third behind leader Mac Johnson and former series champion Mike Franklin, Jr as they worked the high banked 1/4 mile oval in fighter plane formation. Franklin surrendered second spot to Anderson on lap 26 as Johnson continued to set the pace.
Turning up the pressure as only he can do, Anderson filled the mirror of Johnson's No. 6 while looking for a route to the lead. The two bumped briefly on lap 53 with Johnson slipping up the track and stopping. A yellow waved and Johnson was sent to the rear with Anderson the new point man with Franklin second.
A heated battle for third spot saw rookie Mike Bresnahan and Shane Sawyer racing hard lap after lap with the former finally getting the spot on lap 83. They ran to the checkers in that same order with Anderson recording his third win in four starts this season and his only loss, at Hialeah, saw him finish second. Rick Carlton, Scott Grossenbacher, Jonny Kay, Jeff Scofield, David Russell and Jeff Sloan completed the top 10 in the century run.
