Point leader Shane Taylor extended his lead with a  victory in Limited Modified action while Richard Ferry used a dominating  run to visit victory lane for the first time in 2011. Nevin Gainey held  off last weeks winner Andy Olson to win Pure Stocks with Amber Williams  taking her first win in Sportsman competition. Kevin Underwood turned  in another strong outing to win Box Stocks and Terry Wright was the  winner in TQ Late Models.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Marvin Hassel and Kyle Arvin would lead  the field to green in the Limited Mod feature. By lap two Shane Taylor  had taken the lead just as the caution would appear for a spin by Cliff  Suber. Taylor would hold off Duane Paul Jr. on the restart and lead  until the caution flew again on lap five. Lap ten would see another  caution and the following lap would see Paul get by Taylor for the lead  but the caution would appear again as Paul spun in turn two. From there  Taylor would survive one more caution and race to the checkers. Paul  would rally from the tail to\u00a0 reclaim second with Marvin Hassell  finishing up a strong run to take third.<\/p>\n<p>Richard Ferry dominated  his heat race earlier in the evening and set out to do the same in the  Late Model feature. From his outside front row starting spot Ferry would  out duel Kyle Van Sickle off turn two and put his number 17 on top of  the leader board. Six laps in the caution would appear for a spin by  Fred Schell on the exit of turn two. Ferry would bring the race back to  green as the Van Sickle brothers would battle for the runner up spot  with Kyle holding off Ryan this time for second. A long green flag run  would take the lap count to twenty one before Shawn Taylor would spin in  turn four to bring out the yellow. as the field circled under caution  Adam Bedenbaugh would make contact with Bryan Bernhhart. A lengthy delay  would follow as the track crew would need some time to get the two cars  untangled. The restart attempt would not be a clean one as Taylor and  Schell would spin to keep the field under yellow. The next attempt would  be a good one for Ferry as he would pull out to the lead once again and  take the checkered flag. Ryan Van Sickle would get under his brother  for second on the restart dropping Kyle to third in the final standings.<\/p>\n<p>Fourteen of the sixteen Pure stocks in attendance would answer  the bell for their feature event. William Martin would lead lap number  one before Rick Reed would move to the lead on lap two and then the  caution would come out Jimmy Peele. The restart would prove the to be  deciding factor in the race as Martin would make contact with Reed which  then allowed Nevin Gainey and Shane Taylor to move into the top two  spots and Andy Olson would also benefit to grab third. A caution on lap  twelve would see the second place car of Taylor go to work road ending  his bid for a driving double on the night. From there Gainey would be  able to hold off Olson and Reed for the win.<\/p>\n<p>Seventeen Sportsman  cars would roll onto the track for the feature event and the action  would start to heat up before half a lap was in the books. On the  initial lap pole sitter Marty McGuire and fellow front row starter Scott  Spears would battle through turns one and two and when Kevin Bayless  joined in the battle to make it three wide the result was a destroyed  car for Bayless as he ended up making hard contact with the backstretch  wall. Several other cars got caught up in the aftermath but were able to  rejoin the field for the second start attempt. As McGuire and Spears  again battled for the top spot they would find themselves involved in  another three wide battle but this time Amber Williams would wrestle the  lead from the front row duo and hold the lead until Tony Jordan&#8217;s spin  on the backstretch on lap four would slow the field. Spears would go\u00a0 to  work road and surrender second to Dave Ponton. Williams would lead  another four laps when Brandon Catto would bring out the yellow on lap  eight. Three laps later Wayne O&#8217;Neal would spin which would set up a  controversial finish for Ponton and Williams. As Williams came off turn  four with the white flag flying contact from Ponton would send Williams  spinning and several cars caught up in the carnage. With Ponton called  to the infield the question was if the race leader could continue and  reclaim her spot at the front of the field. With the car unable to fire  it was discovered the battery had been knocked out and the ruling was  made to replace the battery and let Williams move back to her lead spot.  A one lap dash to the finish would see Williams win her first Sportsman  feature by holding off Jamie Dayhaw and Jody Turner.<\/p>\n<p>Kevin  Underwood would return to action in the Box Stocks and race to the early  lead from his third starting spot. An anxious moment for the race  leader on lap four as Shaylynn Taylor would spin in front of Underwood  but no contact was made as he avoided the lapped car. Only a yellow at  the halfway point would slow down the leader and Bobby Denard and  Baltimore Bill Bollier would round out the top three.<\/p>\n<p>A late  addition to the race card was the TQ Late Models and Chuck Cumby would  grab the early lead. John Hopke would put the pressure on Cumby and a  bobble by Hopke would allow Cumby to open up his advantage. At the  halfway point it was Hopke and David Rader spinning while at the same  time Cumby would solo spin out of the lead at the other end of the  speedway. Terry Wright would inherit the lead and take the field to the  checkered flag with Adam Parrish and Katherine Thomas giving chase.<\/p>\n<p>Official Results May 28th 2011<br \/>\nLimited Modifieds<br \/>\n1.
