| Andersons 1 & 2 at Powell Memorial | OCALA, Fla. - Believing in the addage that it is better to be lucky than good, veteran Wayne Anderson inherited the lead on lap 97 and held off the challenges of his dad Dick Anderson to win Saturday nights Florida Pro Series 100 lap late model headliner at Ocala Speedway. James Powell III joined Scott Grossenbacher in the front row for the century run and quickly put Mark Cowheard's fleet number 37 on the point. Powell was soon joined by Jonny Kay as the two bobbed an weaved their way around the 3/8 mile oval. As the race progressed lapped traffic became more of a problem and finally, with only a handful of laps remaining, Kay made a run on Powell as a pair of lapped racers figured in the mix. Kay and Powell made contact in turn 1 with Powell a spinner and both were sent to the rear of the field for the restart. Wayne Anderson, running a car borrowed from Troy Drawdy, drove the final three laps with his dad in his mirrors and they crossed the stripe in that order over Rich Pratt, Grossenbacher, and Powell. Michael Williams checkered sixth ahead of Kay, Mike Franklin, Jr, John Carter Jr and Rob Elting. With the win Wayne Andeson became the third different winner in six events this season. The series now moves to Cordele, Ga for a July 28 event.
