| Anderson Rebounds from Crash Wins Columbia Fla Pro's | LAKE CITY, Fla. - Florida Pro Series point leader Dick Anderson rebounded from a hard crash two weeks previous to capture Saturday nights 125 lap FPS event at Columbia Motorsports Park.
Fast qualifier Jonny Kay, making his first ever start for owner Tommy Sytsma, started from the pole position after the redraw and quickly began to put distance on the balance of the 19 car field. Anderson, in a new mount for Jimmy Harris, started from the ninth slot and quickly began picking his way through traffic around the half-mile oval.
Several minor yellows kept the field from getting stretched far out and Anderson continued his march toward the point. Once Anderson had tracked Kay down he set him up and made the pass on the bottom side out of turn four on lap 74 for the lead and began to build his margin to the checkers. Kay never gave up and brought his new mount home second ahead of James Powell III, top rookie Mike Bresnahan and Scott Grossenbacher.
In support divison action Jeff Prescott got past Ray Wheeler on the final lap to win the 20 lap street stock main while Roger was the best of the open wheelers in the 20 lap Florida modified main ahead of Jason Garver and Shane Taylor. William Jerkins topped Nevin Gainey to win the pure stock finale. The Florida Pro Series now moves to Citrus County Speedway in Inverness on Sept. 22.
