After weeks of excitement & repeated calls from drivers, the time was upon us for the Tar River Throw Down featuring the 50 Lap $5,000 to win Ultimate Super Late Model race. With star drivers such as Chris Madden, Tim McCreadie, Dale McDowell, Jeff Smith & Austin Hubbard just to name a few, could the local drivers such as Christian Joyner, Michael Batten, Travis Hair & Roger Lucas give them a surprise? Along with the Ultimate Super Late Models, the Middlesex Family Dental, PlayTyme Concessions Pure Stock 4, PL Woodard Pure Stock V8 & the ARCO Restoration Thunder & Lightning divisions would also run.

Up first, the Middlesex Family Dental Super Stock 4 with Austin Larrison and Bill Winstead on the front row. From the drop of the green, these guys were going 3 wide all over the track! Bill Winstead took the lead quick followed by John Proctor, Austin Holcombe Jamie Bailey & Austin Larrison. The caution would come out for Eric Hill who spun over in turn 2, and after a brief yellow, we were back green. Bill Winstead continued to lead Proctor, Holcombe, James Manning who moved up a couple spots to get in the top 5 and Jamie Bailey. The front 3 were nose to tail and catching lap traffic when James Manning quickly pitted on the front stretch due to an engine fire under his 94 ride. Very tough break for Manning as he was running in the top 5. Back green with Winstead still leading Proctor, Holcombe, Jamie Bailey & William Carroll. Bill Winstead would continue to lead, taking home his 2nd checkers of the year. Winstead was followed by John Proctor, Austin Holcombe, Jamie Bailey & William Carroll.

Our second feature event, the PlayTyme Concessions Pure Stock 4s with JP Brantley and Thomas Holbrooke on the front row. After a mix up on the backstretch involving several cars, we had to do a complete restart of this 15 lap feature. JP Brantley would hold off a hard charging Michael Webb as long as he could, but lap 6 would see Webb get around Brantley to take the lead. Brantley was followed by Thomas Holbrooke, Daniel Hill & Jeffery Patterson. Patterson would get around Hill to take over 4th spot and mount a challenge on Holbrooke for 3rd. Cody Keith moved up into the top 5 only to lose the position to Tyler Hobgood. With 3 to go, Webb continued to lead Brantley who was holding off Patterson only to lose the spot on the backstretch. With Patterson up in 2nd spot, Webb mashed the gas a little harder to keep some distance between them as they came to the white flag. One last loop around the 3/8 mile oval & Michael Webb would bring home the win. He was followed closely by Jeffery Patterson, JP Brantley, Thomas Holbrooke & Cody Keith.

Next out, the rescheduled PL Woodard Pure Stock V8 $350 to win, 15 lap special. On the front row, Jerry Williams & Kevin Beard, who would be followed by 14 other drivers looking to bring home that $350. Jerry Williams took charge of this field followed by Kevin Beard, Jason Schlaffer, Gary Whitely & Wade Ferrell. Ferrell would challenge Whitley relentlessly as Carly Fulghum was on his bumper itching to get into the top 5. Out front, Jerry Williams stretched his lead out by about 5 car lengths over Beard as we came to the white flag. Coming to the checkers, it would be all Jerry Williams picking up his 4th win of the season. Coming home in 2nd spot, Kevin Beard followed by Jason Schlaffer, Gary Whitley & Wade Ferrell.

The always exciting ARCO Restoration Thunder & Lightning division would see Cy Nelms, Jr on the pole with Brad Hamm on the outside. Cy Nelms Jr jumped out to the lead followed by Skeeter Liles, Mark Boykin, Luke Owens & Brad Hamm. Nelms Jr would spin out in turn 4 while out front on lap 4, with the rest of the field narrowly missing him. Back green with Liles leading Boykin, Owens, Hamm & Lane Proctor. Several cautions would plague this 20 lap feature, slowing the field but luckily we were able to get some green flag laps in. Skeeter Liles held onto the top spot followed by Mark Boykin, Luke Owens, Brad Hamm & Lane Proctor.  Owens would get around Boykin only to have Boykin come back around on to reclaim 2nd spot.

Finally, what we’ve all been waiting for, the 50 lap main event, the Ultimate Super Late Models! Chris Madden laid down a fast time of 14.533 followed by Tim Mcreadie with a time of 14.671. After a 4 wide salute to the fans & a brief fireworks display the green flag dropped on this 21 car field. Madden quickly jumped out front of T-Mac and started putting distance between the 2. Through the field, Dale McDowell got around T-Mac for 2nd spot as Greg Satterlee held on to 4th spot. Chris “Fergy” Ferguson rounded out the top 5. Casey Roberts held onto the 6th spot, Dustin Mitchell in 7th, Christian Joyner 8th, Roger Lucas 9th and Austin Hubbard rounded out the top 10. Up front, Chris “Smokey” Madden caught the tail of the field, lapping a couple of cars while Tim McCreadie challenged McDowell for 2nd spot. Lap 27 would see Madden continuing to stretch his lead out over McDowell. Rambo would move up into the top 10, while Chris Ferguson took over the 4th spot from Satterlee. Ferguson was definitely on the move, as Madden continued to pull away from the field. Austin Hubbard got around Mitchell to take over 7th spot while Mike Gault attempted to move up into the top 10. Coming to 10 to go, Madden was totally checked out, and on lap 41 the rains came. Madden was declared the winner with Dale McDowell, Tim McCreadie, Chris Ferguson, Gregg Satterlee, Casey Roberts, Austin Hubbard, Dustin Mitchell, Roger Lucas & Dennis “Rambo” Franklin. An awesome display of racing by these guys! Thank you so much Stan Lester, Kelley Carlton, Tommy Tedder & all of the staff with the Ultimate Super Late Model Series.

The Tar River Throwdown will welcome back the Ultimate Super Late Model Series to the 3/8ths mile clay oval in Elm City.  The names are some of the biggest on the East Coast.  County Line’s hometown drivers such as ‘The Professor’ Christian Joyner, Travis Hair, Dustin Mitchell, Michael Batten and Roger Lucas will try to out do the Ultimate Series regulars of Casey Roberts, Casey Barrow, and Zack Mitchell but we also have national names planning to roll into town such as Austin Hubbard, Dale McDowell, Tim ‘T-Mac’ McCreadie and last May’s winner, Chris Madden.  Could there be even more surprises roll through the gate? The only way to find out is be there Friday night!

If that isn’t enough action, the ARCO Restoration Thunder & Lightning, Middlesex Family Dental Super Stock Four Cylinder, and PlayTyme Concessions Pure Stock Four Cylinder divisions are on the schedule as well.  Not to mention, we will be crowning Miss County Line Raceway 2013.

With heavy clouds surrounding County Line Raceway, it did not deter drivers or fans! With 71 cars checked in to complete in 100 laps of exciting racing, fans lined the bleachers ready for the night to begin.

Up first the Middlesex Family Dental Super Stock 4′s with our 2012 Points Champion & current points leader John Proctor & James Manning on the front row. Proctor would get out front and never look back, leading every lap of this 20 lap feature. Austin Holcombe would challenge Proctor hard for the top spot but could not hold momentum off the corner to complete the pass. John brings home his first points win of 2013 followed by Austin Holcombe, Bill Winstead, William Carroll and Eric Hill.

Out next, the always exciting PL Woodard Pure Stock V8 division with 2 time winner Jerry Williams on the front row. Kevin Beard started in 2nd place for this 15 lap feature.Williams would get out front of Beard quickly, as Whitley went to work to get around Beard for 2nd spot. Back in the field, Roy Hall & Carly Fulghum battled over 4th spot, with Fulghum settling in behind Hall for 5th. Gary Whitley would get around Beard for 2nd spot and battle Williams for the lead but was unable to get around him. The top 3 were literally nose to tail and with one mistake, it could’ve been any of them taking the checkers! Jerry Williams would continue to lead & bring home his 3rd win of the season. He was followed by Gary Whitley, Kevin Beard, Roy Hall & Carly Fulghum.

The Barnes Equipment Late Models would line up with Christian Joyner, who broke the track record earlier with a 14.668, would be your pole sitter with Dustin Mitchell in 2nd spot. Mitchell would challenge Joyner early only to be shut down briefly. Mitchell would get around Joyner to take the lead on lap 3, as Joyner settled into 2nd plotting his move to get back out front. Michael Batten held tight to 3rd spot while Cy Nelms, Sr. & Bobby Bottoms rounded out the top 5. Mitchell continued to put distance between him & Joyner, stretching his lead out by 1/2 a lap. As the laps wound down, Mitchell continued to lap traffic while the top 5 remained the same. Mitchell would take the checkers bringing home his 2nd win of 2013 at County Line Raceway. Christian Joyner held onto 2nd followed by Michael Batten, Cy Nelms, Sr & Bobby Bottoms.

Our fourth feature of the night, the PlayTyme Concessions Pure Stock 4 division, was loaded and ready to go door to door for 15 laps. Jeremy Benson & Jeffery Patterson would lead this 20 car field to the green flag. Lots of shuffling throughout the field with drivers jockeying for position each lap. Brent Atkinson would bring out the caution for a spin over in turn 2, but luckily for him, he was able to continue. Back green with Patterson leading Benson, Cody Keith, Thomas Holbrooke and Dennis Deaver. Deaver would lose 5th spot when he spun over in turn 4. Up front it was all Patterson as the laps wound down. No change in the top 5 until we got to 2 to go. Brent Atkinson recovered from an early spin to take over 5th spot, then 4th as they took the white flag. Jeffery Patterson would bring home his first win of 2013! Jeremy Benson came home 2nd followed by Cody Keith, Brent Atkinson & Tyler Hobgood.

Our final feature of the night, the 20 lap $800 to win ARCO Restoration Thunder & Lightning division would see Brad Hamm & Mark Boykin on the front row. These guys would drag race down the front stretch with Hamm having just a little advantage over Boykin going into turn 1. Boykin would not relent and get around Hamm out of turn 2 to take the lead. CJ Cascell would hit the wall hard in turn 2 bringing out the caution, but after being towed from the track, we were back under green. Hard racing through the field with a lot of shuffling for position in the back. Half way, Boykin continues to lead as the caution comes out for a spin off of 4 involving a couple of cars. Lap 14 would see another caution, as a car got around over in turn 2. With less than 5 to go, Boykin tried to put distance on the 49 of Hamm, who was holding off a hard challenge by the 01 of Owens. Owens would get around Hamm and go after Boykin with 2 to go! If anyone had a bath towel, you could’ve thrown it over these 3 guys! WOW! Coming to the white flag, Boykin gave it all he had to hold off Owens. Sided by side into 1 and 2, drag racing down the back stretch coming to the final corner. Mark Boykin took the checkers by a very slim margin, as Luke Owens & Brad Hamm were door to door. Luke Owens was declared 2nd place, Brad Hamm 3rd, Chris Radford came home 4th and Mark McDaniels rounded out the top 5. What a great race!!

Holcombe took over 2nd spot from John Proctor with 5 to go, setting his sights on catching the leader Brad Hamm. Austin Larrison would bring out the caution on lap 15 when he slammed into the turn 4 wall. With 5 to go, this was setting up to be just like last week’s close finish. Brad Hamm brings them to the flag, Holcombe trying to get around him, Proctor sitting in 3rd poised to make his move. Holcombe seemed to close in a little on Hamm as we came to the 2 to go signal,  when William Carroll spun out of 4 bringing out the caution. This would set up a green, white, checker finish with Hamm hungry for a win, Holcombe looking to make it 2 in a row & Proctor looking his first points win of the season. Holcombe tried hard to get around Hamm at the drop of the green but couldn’t do it. Brad Hamm would grab the checkers followed by Austin Holcombe, John Proctor, Bill Winstead & James Manning. Congrats Hamm Racing on the win!

Next out, the DRU Inc. Open Wheel Modifieds with Kyle Strickler on the pole & Russell Erwin on the outside. At the drop of the green, Erwin & Strickler drag raced down the front stretch, but when they got to turn 1, Erwin went up high and spun in front of the field! He collected Ryan Toole, Greg Brown, Chris Parker, Jeff Solinger and Roger Lucas. Two cars would be relegated to the pits, while Ryan Toole would sustain serious left side damage but would continue. With a complete reset, we were back green with Strickler out front followed by Taylor Cooke, Chris Parker, Bud Watson and Mike Reynolds. Warren Lipford would bring the caution out for a 2nd time when he got into the backstretch wall off of turn 2. Quickly gathering the field back together we were back green only to be under caution again on lap 4 when Warren would spin again outside of turn 4.

A couple of cars would spin down in turn 1 on lap 1, but would not require a trip to the pits. We were quickly back green with Jeffery Patterson leading Michael Webb, Brent Atkheinson, Cody Keith and Jeremy Benson. Another caution would slow this field yet again, and after quick clean up, we were back green with 2 complete. Michael Webb would quickly challenge and take over the top spot from Jeffery Patterson followed by Brent Atkinson in 3rd, Cody Keith & Jeremy Benson. Finally able to get some green flag laps in, Michael Webb held off Patterson, but it was not easy. Patterson was trying his best to get back out front and bring home the $350 prize and his first win of the season. With 7 complete, Patterson continued to attempt to get around Webb, while Brent Atkinson, Cody Keith & Jeremy Benson all held on to their position in the top 5. JP Brantley sitting in 6th was chomping at the bit to get up in the top 5 when a slow car at the top of the track brought out the caution for the  6th time. Green again with Webb leading Patterson, Atkinson, Keith & Benson. Patterson would pull up along Webb for the lead only to have the door slam shut. Patterson would get his nose under Webb and get even with him down the front stretch. Patterson would take over the lead only to spin out of turn 4 allowing Michael Webb to get the win.

Returning for the first time this year, last year’s points winner Cy Nelms, Sr held onto 4th spot with Travis Hair in 5th.

Mitchell continued to hold onto his lead over Daniel Tucker, Russell Erwin, Cy Nelms, Sr & Travis Hair. Visiting driver Richard Clew would bring out the 2nd caution with a solo spin in turn 4, but was able to continue without assistance. Green flag, Mitchell out front followed by Daniel Tucker, Russell Erwin, Cy Nelms, Sr. and Travis Hair. Half way, and still no change in the top 5, but from 6th through 10th there was some serious racing going on. Up front, Cy Nelms would attempt to get around Russell Erwin for 3rd spot, but couldn’t get around. Another caution would fly, and we were back under green, only to go back under caution again when the 37 of Cy Nelms, Sr got into Russell Erwin causing him to spin in turn 2. After a little discussion, they were both sent to the rear & we were back green. Dustin Mitchell was pulling away from Daniel Tucker who was followed by Travis Hair, Michael Batten & Roger Lucas. Neal Sykes was knocking on the door of that 5th place car of Roger Lucas while Christian Joyner was closing in and finally got around Sykes for 6th spot. It was all Dustin Mitchell out front with about 5 car lengths between him and Daniel Tucker.

As always, thank you so much for your continued support as we celebrate our 25th Anniversary season! We’ll see you next week at The Line~

Cooler temperatures greeted fans and drivers at County Line Raceway Saturday as the gates opened for the 2nd Annual Victor May Memorial. With 77 cars checked in, 22 of them Super Stock 4′s, Victor May was surely smiling down. With 110 laps scheduled to be run, $690 to be given to the winner of the 20 lap Middlesex Family Dental Super Stock 4′s, the Playtyme Concessions Pure Stock 4′s, ARCO Restoration Thunder & Lightning, PL Woodard Pure Stock V8 and the Barnes Equipment Late Models ready to bang the doors and jam some gears! The highlight of the night though, was the 10 lap Dash for Cash for $690 to win and $100 to 2nd place. Special thanks to Erwin Racing Supply for putting up the $100 for 2nd spot!

Up first, the Middlesex Family Dental Super Stock 4′s with Eric Hill, who broke the track record earlier with a 17.596, on the pole. Victor’s memory was definitely honored as Austin Holcombe & Bobby Bottoms both drove Victor’s old car #, 69. After one lap with the missing man formation, we were ready to go green. Eric Hill quickly got out front of James Manning and as these 22 cars made the first lap around the track, I personally have all ideas Victor was smiling & cheering for everyone of these guys. The caution flew quickly as one car got around in turn 2. With the lineup correct, Eric Hill would lead Bill Winstead, James Manning, Austin Holcombe and Brad Hamm to the green. All through the field guys were jostling for position, with a great battle for 6th going on between Kevin Pierce & John Proctor. Pierce had it, but Proctor wanted it. Proctor would get around Pierce briefly, but Pierce would fight back on the outside to retake the position. The caution came out again for a single car spin on the backstretch on lap 3 slowing the field once again. After bunching the field up, Hill would lead Winstead, Holcombe, Manning and Hamm to the green. Bill Winstead would get up beside Hill out of 3 and take the lead, as Holcombe came with him to take over 2nd spot. Caution again for a single car spin out of 4 that would put a car up on the berm. Back green with 4 laps complete, Winstead lead Holcombe, Hill, Manning and Hamm to the green flag. Nevin Twiddy made the pass on Brad Hamm for 5th spot, bringing John Proctor with him to take over 6th. Proctor put the move on Twiddy for 5th spot, as Kevin Pierce and Bobby Bottoms battled for 8th place. Coming to half way the leader was catching the tail of the field lapping them with ease. Austin Holcombe got inside of Winstead to take over the lead on lap 14. How sweet it is to see that 69 out front! Bill Winstead would fight to get around Holcombe, passing the lead back and forth for about 2 laps as the caution came out for 3rd place Eric Hill who spun on the backstretch. With 4 to go, Austin Holcombe would lead the field to the green flag. Bill Winstead held onto 2nd followed by James Manning, John Proctor, and Brad Hamm. Winstead would give Holcombe a couple of taps, work his way underneath him and these boys race side by side literally to the finish line. It would be Austin Holcombe taking the checkers by .005 of a second! That 69 sure looked great sitting in victory lane again!! Austin was followed by Bill Winstead, James Manning, John Proctor & Jason Horne.

Our second feature of the night, the PlayTyme Concessions Pure Stock 4′s with Cody Keith & Brent Atkinson on the front row. A multicar crash would red flag this field on lap 1. Several cars got together resulting in a bumper being ripped off, one car up in the air, and several cars spinning. After a clean up by our track staff, Brent Atkinson lead the field to the green followed by Michael Webb, Cody Keith, Jefferey Patterson and Jeremy Benson. Patterson would work his way around Keith to take over 3rd spot and mount the challenge on Webb for 2nd. Atkinson got a little loose on the backstretch giving Webb the opportunity to get up on his bumper, but Atkinson was able to hold on and maintain the lead. A car with a flat tire would bring out the caution again, but we were back under green quickly with Brent Atkinson leading a very tight field around the track. Webb was all up on the bumper of Atkinson as we approached lap 7 but couldn’t complete the pass for the lead. Jefferey Patterson held tightly to 3rd spot followed by last week’s winner Cody Keith and Jeremy Benson rounding out the top 5. Caution out again with 11 complete. With only 4 laps to go, would Brent Atkinson be able to hold off Michael Webb for his 2nd win? Brent took the green, holding off Webb’s hard charge and brought the field around to take the 3 to go mark. Webb started putting more pressure on Atkinson hoping to shake up Atkinson enough to steal the lead away, but it wasn’t enough as Brent Atkinson brought home the win. Michael Webb was 2nd, followed by Jeffery Patterson, Cody Keith and Jeremy Benson. Another stellar race for the top 5 guys in this class!

Our 3rd feature, the always exciting PL Woodard Pure Stock V8 division would see Gary Whitley, who earlier in the night broke the track record with a fast time of 18.545, and Jerry Williams on the front row. Gary Whitley would take command of this 15 lap feature quickly as the remainder of the field shuffled for position behind him. Jerry Williams held on tight to 2nd spot, waiting for the right moment to make a move on the leader. Amanda Liles would suffer a mechanical failure bringing out the caution on lap 4. Back green with Whitley out front with Jerry Williams in 2nd, Wade Ferrell in 3rd spot, Jason Schlaffer in 4th spot and Dwayne Whitley rounding out the top 5. After a jumble at the restart, Dwayne Whitely lost several spots as he inadvertently got into the back of Wade Ferrell, which would move Carly Fulghum into the top 5. Jerry Williams made a hard charge for the lead, but Whitley was able to hold him off. Side by side out of turn 2 and all the way down the backstretch, Whitley & Williams battled for the lead, but a caution would slow them on lap 12. Gary Whitley brought them to the green but Jerry Williams quickly went after him trying to get that lead away but couldn’t do it as Gary Whitley brought home his first win of the 2013 season. Wade Ferrell snuck up and snatched 2nd from Jerry Williams, who finished 3rd, Jason Schlaffer and Carly Fulghum.

The popular Barnes Equipment Late Models lined up outside of turn 4 with the C9 of Christian Joyner & the 21 of Michael Batten on the front row. Christian Joyner shot out like a rocket taking command of this 30 lap feature followed by Russell Erwin, Michael Batten, JP Cascell & Bobby Bottoms. By lap 6, Joyner was catching and lapping the tail of the field. Erwin and Batten battled hard for 2nd spot with Erwin holding onto the spot. JP Cascell started feeling the pressure from 5th place Bobby Bottoms, while Neal Sykes tried to sneak a peak at the 5th spot. Good, hard racing through the field with all of these guys giving 100% for these fans who love this class. Christian Joyner held tight to his lead, followed by Russell Erwin, Michael Batten, JP Cascell and Bobby Bottoms. White flag, Christian Joyner still out front. Coming to the checkers it would be Christian Joyner bringing home his 4th win of 2013. He was followed by Russell Erwin, Michael Batten, JP Cascell and Travis Hair. Great job to these guys for a great race!

The ARCO Restoration Thunder & Lightning lined up for their 20 lap feature with Brad Hamm & Lane Proctor on the front row. Green flag and we’re off racing with Brad Hamm out front followed by Matthew Bissette, Lane Proctor, Mark Boykin & Scott Baines your top 5. A quick caution would come out for a single car spin, but we were very quickly back under green. Brad Hamm continued to hold off Matthew Bissette, Mark Boykin, Cy Nelms Jr. & Lane Proctor. Another caution would slow this 14 car field on lap 8. Brad Hamm would bring the field to green followed by Bissette, Boykin, Nelms Jr., and Proctor. Cy Nelms, Jr. would make the move on Mark Boykin for 3rd spot just as the caution came out for a spin in turn 4. Back green and Matthew Bissette tried hard to get around Brad Hamm to take the lead only to be shut down coming ouat of turn 1. Half way, 10 to go and Brad Hamm starts to pull away from Bissette. Luke Owens was side by side with Lane Proctor for the 5th spot making the pass out of turn 3. Caution again for a car stopped right past the pit entrance in turn 2. With 7 to go, Brad Hamm, who was anxious to bring home his first win in the ARCO Restoration Thunder & Lightning division, lead the field to green only to be slowed by another caution. Mark Boykin would get into Matthew Bissette, Cy Nelms, Jr. would climb up over Boykin, Luke Owens spun trying to avoid the whole thing and in the process collected Skeeter Liles. Green, for hopefully the last time, with Brad Hamm leading Matthew Bissette, Mark Boykin, Cy Nelms, Jr & Chris Radford. Cy Nelms, Jr would challenge Boykin for 3rd and take the spot with 5 to go. Matthew Bissette would go way high in turn 4 losing 2nd spot to Cy Nelms, Jr and allowing Mark Boykin to take over 3rd spot. Bissette would fall back to 8th spot in a matter of 2 laps. Coming to the checkers it would be Brad Hamm, Cy Nelms, Jr, Mark Boykin, Luke Owens & Lane Proctor.

Our final event of the night, the much anticipated 10 lap Victor May Memorial Dash For Cash! The winner would take home a cool $690 while 2nd spot would take home $100 thanks to Erwin Racing Supply. With 10 cars participating, they all came out to the front stretch and gathered around Victor’s children, Dawson & Ava. All 10 drivers, John Proctor, Nevin Twiddy, Eric Hill, Bobby Bottoms, Bill Winstead, Kevin Pierce, Glenn Bottoms, James Manning, Austin Holcombe and Jason Horne, chose an envelope from Dawson picking their starting spot. John Proctor pulled the pole position, with Nevin Twiddy pulling the outside. The rest of the field would line up behind these two drivers for 10 laps of hard racing, just like Victor would’ve wanted. John and Nevin pulled even coming out of turn 3, but by the time they hit 4, John Proctor would be in the lead.

No one could’ve asked for a more beautiful day as County Line Raceway opened the gates for the Spring Fever 100. With the Middlesex Family Dental Super Stock 4′s, PlayTyme Concessions , Pure Stock 4′s, PL Woodard PSV8, ARCO Restoration Thunder & Lightning & the very popular Barnes Equipment Late Models set to lay down some laps, fans anxiously awaited the first green flag. During a short intermission, we announced our car show winners from last week. In the PlayTyme Concessions Pure Stock 4 cylinder class, JP Brantley was announced your winner, in the Middlesex Family Dental Super Stock 4 division, John Proctor, PL Woodard Pure Stock V8, Jerry Williams winning his first ever car show, Brad Hamm won best car in the ARCO Restoration Thunder & Lightning and the Barnes Equipment Late Model winner for best car Bobby Bottoms. Each winner was presented a very nice trophy from Custom Awards out of Kenly, NC.

Our first feature, the Middlesex Family Dental Super Stock 4′s lined up for their 20 lap feature with Bill Winstead on the pole with a new track record of 17.640 and Austin Holcombe starting shotgun. At the drop of the green these guys went to work with racing and jockeying for position all through the field. Leading lap 1 would be the 97 of Winstead, followed by Austin Holcombe, John Proctor, Eric Hill and William Carroll. A car would get upside down coming out of four right after the leaders crossed the start/finish line. Mike Hall, in the 17, would exit his car after a wild ride. After a short red flag, we were back green. Winstead continued to lead Holcombe, Proctor, Hill and Carroll. John Proctor would work his way around Austin Holcombe as we came to lap 8 to take over 2nd spot, but Holcombe would not give up as he kept right on the bumper of Proctor. These guys were getting it done as they were averaging over 75 MPH with each lap turned. Bill Winstead would run up on slow traffic as we came to half way giving Proctor the chance to get right on the bumper of the 97. The front two started to pull away from the field as Proctor was relentless in his challenge for the lead. With 17 laps complete Eric Hill would slow and spin on the backstretch to bring out the caution. With a 3 lap shootout ahead of these guys, Bill Winstead lead them to the green flag. A caution would come out again for a 2 car spin coming out of turn, as James Manning & James Bailey got together. Back green with a green, white, checker finish. Proctor was all over Winstead but couldn’t complete the pass, as Carroll got around Holcombe for 3rd bringing Glenn Bottoms with him. Coming to the checkers, it would be Bill Winstead, John Proctor, William Carroll, Glenn Bottoms & Austin Holcombe.

Up next, the PlayTyme Concessions Pure Stock 4′s with Cody Keith & Jeremy Benson on the front row. Cody Keith would lead the first lap of this 15 lap feature followed close by Jeremy Benson, Brent Atkinson, Michael Webb & Jeffery Patterson. The caution would fly early when a car spun on the backstretch. We were quickly back green with Keith continuing to lead the field as they quickly caught up with the tail of the field. Twenty three cars started this feature, and with an average speed 69 MPH it was not surprising when the leader started lapping cars. Thomas Holbrooke would bring out the 2nd caution when he spun over in turn 2, and after quick attention from our Sign-O-Rama wrecker service, we were back green. Working lap 6, Keith continuing to lead as Atkinson continued to gain ground. Atkinson would look on the inside of Keith for the lead, but couldn’t complete the pass as they exited turn 2. With the top 5 so close you could throw a blanket over them, it was an epic battle amongst those guys as they fought for position and a stellar job by all drivers to maintain composure as they encountered lap traffic. Lap 13 would see another caution, as a car spun and jumped the berm on the front stretch. Pulling the caution car to the inside pit area, we were quickly back green with a green white checker finish in store for these guys. Brent Atkinson would challenge Keith for the top spot only to get shut down. Cody Keith would go on to win his first PlayTyme Concessions Pure Stock 4 race followed by Jeremy Benson, Brent Atkinson, Michael Webb & Jeffery Patterson. This was an absolute awesome race, with cars going 3 wide on several different occasions! Great job all of you on a great race!

The always exciting PL Woodard Pure Stock V8 division lined up for their 15 lap feature with Wade Ferrell & Jerry Williams on the front row. Jerry Williams would lead the first lap after getting around Ferrell out of turn 3 and never looked back. Only 3 cautions for single car spins would slow this field and with an average speed of 75 MPH, these guys & gals were hauling the mail in these V8′s. With jostling for position from 6th on back, the top 5 stayed within a car length of each other but it was all Jerry Williams as he brought home the win. He was followed by Wade Ferrell, Gary Whitley, Dewayne Whitley & Roy Hall. Another great job and a great race!

After breaking the track record with a time of 16.481, Skeeter Liles would lead the field of ARCO Restoration Thunder & Lightning division roared to life for their 20 lap feature. Skeeter Liles took the top spot from the drop of the green flag as Brad Hamm tried to hold off Matthew Bissette who challenged for and over took 2nd spot. A single car spin out of turn 4 would bring out the caution on lap 3. During the caution, 2nd place Matthew Bissette pulled into the pit area for what appeared to be mechanical issues. Back green with Skeeter leading Brad Hamm, Mark Boykin, Joey Cascell & Lane Proctor your top 5. Johnny Edmondson would bring out the caution on lap 7 and quickly exited the track off of turn 2 and we were back green with 13 to go. Liles, Hamm, Boykin, Cascell & Proctor your top 5, with Liles putting about 4 car lengths between him & 2nd place Hamm. Lots of jostling for position here with Lane Proctor moving around Cascell & Boykin, taking over 3rd spot while Mark McDaniels took over 5th place. Out front, Skeeter continued to hold off Hamm, who had closed in a little bit and was definitely letting his presence be known. McDaniels & Cascell would beat & bang hard out of turn 2 with Cascell coming out on the worst end of the deal by spinning. Back green with 5 to go, Liles, Hamm, Proctor, Boykin & Scott Baines your top 5. Chris Radford would attempt to get into the top 5, challenging Baines for the position and getting it. Two to go, Liles with 2 car lengths on Hamm. Liles would lead the final 2 laps, bringing home the win followed by Brad Hamm, Lane Proctor, Mark Boykin & Chris Radford.

Our final feature of the night, the always exciting Barnes Equipment Late Models lined up for 30 laps of door banging, side by side action! Christian Joyner & Dustin Mitchell would lead this 12 car field to the green. Joyner, a 2 time winner this year in this outstanding division, would take the lead over Mitchell, his time long time friend. Mitchell would challenge Joyner hard in the corners only to lose ground on the straightaways, although not by more than a car length. Michael Batten would hold on to 3rd spot, fending off Travis Hair as we came to lap 14. Just as Batten crossed the line to complete the lap, a lap car would come down on Batten causing him to bounce off and slow down, Travis Hair would hit Batten and spin. Quick yellow, as all cars were able to continue under their own power, although Hair would retire to the pits. Christian Joyner lead Dustin Mitchell, Bobby Bottoms, Neal Sykes & JP Cascell to the green flag as we closed in on 10 to go. These guys were averaging about 85 MPH as they made their circuits around this 3/8 mile track, and as the laps closed in, the field tightened it up. Joyner continued to try to put distance on the 51 of Dustin Mitchell while Bobby Bottoms held on to 3rd spot. Neal Sykes rode in 4th and JP Cascell rounded out the top 5. With 5 to go, Joyner seemed to be pacing himself as Mitchell stayed dialed into the track, waiting patiently for his chance to steal the lead. Roger Lucas would make his move on Cascell for the 5th spot as we came to the checkered flag. Christian Joyner would bring home his 3rd win of the year, followed by Dustin Mitchell, Bobby Bottoms, Neal Sykes and Roger Lucas. Great job to all of you for running an outstanding race!

After running in the top 5 for most of the feature event, Austin Holcombe & Bill Winstead, would drop out due to mechanical issues.

County Line Raceway, the three-eighths-mile clay track, beginning its 25th anniversary season, was the
site of the inaugural Roger Matthews Memorial, a 49-lap Late Model event with a $2,500 winning
prize that honored the memory of one of the track’s favorite racers. This event was scheduled originally
for Oct. 27 of last year but Hurricane Sandy wiped out those plans. Now the event will be part of the
track’s schedule every year in the fall beginning in 2014.

Fans and drivers braved chilly temps to celebrate the life of local racing legend Roger Matthews. After
speaking with some of the family members, recalling some of his races, track co-promoter Brenda
Holcombe presented a plaque to his family & revealed a billboard that will sit atop the grandstands
forever preserving his memory at the 3/8ths mile clay oval. After a moment of silence, 49 red & white
balloons were released into the night sky. After the presentation of the flag by the Fike High School Jr.
ROTC, we were set to settle three divisions of racing action!

Beaverdam Virginia’s Russell Erwin piloting the #32 Erwin Racing Supply Shaw Chassis would rocket to
the top of the speed chart for the 25 lap DRU, Inc. Open Wheel Modified feature! At the drop of the
green Erwin never looked back. By lap 9 Erwin had stretched his lead out to 7 car lengths. 2 nd thru 6th
saw furious racing action as multi-time feature winners Chris Parker and Kyle Strickler battled with
Taylor Cooke, Jimmy Duncan and Greg Brown. After 2 cautions, Erwin still out front, with Mooresville,
North Carolina’s Taylor Cooke about 5 car lengths back, Chris Parker cruising along in 3rd while Strickler
fighting from dead last challenged Duncan for 4th spot. Strickler would make the slide job on Duncan to
take over 4th spot, while Greg Brown crept into the picture to mount a challenge on Duncan, eventually
taking the spot with 5 to go. Coming to the checkers it will be all Russell Erwin followed by Taylor Cooke,
Chris Parker, Kyle Strickler and Greg Brown.

Next on the card, the ARCO Restoration Thunder & Lightning division with Skeeter Liles & Luke Owens
on the front row of this 20 lap feature. Liles would take the lead with commanding fashion at the drop
of the green, Luke Owens held down 2nd spot while Matthew Bissette hunkered down in 3rd. Jason
Schlafer & Pat Ferrell dropped out of the feature early due to mechanical issues. Bailey NC pilot Skeeter
Liles would dominate this race bringing home his 2nd win in a row serving notice to his competitors that
he will be a major player during the 2013 points championship battle. Luke Owens brought 01 home in
2nd spot with the #23 of Matthew Bissette finishing in 3rd.

Our final event of the night, the Barnes Equipment Late Models would again see Russell Erwin set fasty
time and sit on the front row with Dean Bowen starting outside. Two failed attempts at an initial start
resulted in a single file restart. The 3rd time was a charm as they took the green flag; Erwin would win
the drag race to turn 1 with Dean Bowen tracking. Michael Batten, JP Cascell and Travis Hair would
settle in and battle for position for several laps. Erwin quickly padded his lead as he blistered the 3/
8ths mile in his Corky Boys racing #32. After a quick caution for the 0 of Greensboro’s Daniel Tucker we
would go back green with Russell Erwin still out front followed by Dean Bowen in 2nd, Michael Batten
holding off a hard charging Travis Hair for 3rd and Christian Joyner rounding out the top 5. Batten’s top
5 run would be cut short as the #21 Warrior chassis made contact with the backstretch wall ending his

night. Back green with Erwin attempting to put some distance between him & 2nd place Dean Bowen.
Travis Hair holding on to 3rd, Christian Joyner and Spencer Liggon rounded out the top 5. Spencer Liggon
got around Christian Joyner for 4th spot while JP Cascell was close behind waiting for his chance to
challenge the C9 of Joyner. Up front, Erwin caught and passed Roger Lucas who was running in 6th spot,
putting him a lap down as we marked off lap 39. Erwin was quickly catching the 5th place of JP Cascell
as the laps wound down. Our final caution of the night would claim the 2nd place driver dean Bowen as
the #55 slowed in turn 3. With a 6 lap shootout remaining it would be Russell Erwin, followed by Travis
Hair, Spencer Liggon, JP Cascell & Roger Lucas. Erwin would stretch his lead again over 2nd place as they
came to the white flag, cruising around with a purpose. Bringing home the win Russell Erwin goes 2 for 2
