County Line Raceway Elm City, NC.
Close Call for Keck at County Line
Eric Keck thought he was in the front to stay for a cruise to the win at the three quarter mark of the feature at the newly resurfaced and really fast Count Line Raceway Saturday only to see French Grimes come up from last place starting spot and challenge for the win to just fall short by a eight inches as the checkered flag waved. Fourteen cars made the trip down south and heats were up first with last weeks feature winner Bill Rice taking heat one and Mike Marr taking heat two. Danny Miller and Paul White pacing the field to the start but White only led until the back straight when Satch Worley and Mike Marr got by and were leading a ten car freight train around the track at a record pace. Worley was still in front running a mid-track line with Marr alittle lower but right on him as you could see field of cars running three different lines around the speedway. Keck and Grimes were moving up fast as the twenty five laps clicked by quick at the smooth short track with Keck sweeping under Marr then a lap later Worley and he was out front and going away but he didn't count on Grimes who was showing great speed. Grimes was into second spot three laps later but with only five to go Keck must have thought he was home free but Grimes was closing fast and the crowd came to it's feet with two to go as they cheered on the racers to what would be a photo finish with Grimes shooting low getting inside Keck in the run to the checkers but Keck held on by inches to take the win. To recap the finish it was Eric Keck, French Grimes, Jerald Harris, Satch Worley, Billy Norfleet, Mike Marr, Pete Kingrea, Anthony Linkenhoker, Ivan Shaver, Bill Rice, Danny Miller, Paul White, Ron Moyers and Carl Simmonds.
The Virginia Sprint Series will take off a week before heading to Winchester Speedway in Winchester Virginia on Saturday night May 24th.

Bullet Bill Rice Unloads on the Field
Third time was a charm for the Virginia Sprint Series as after two rain outs the
racers were able to take to the track and what a race it was as Bullet Bill Rice
drove his WA Lynch Roofing Specialty Fasteners Sprinter to the event sweep.
Fifteen racers made the tow to Eastside with heats up first and Rice blasted to
the win in heat one with Satch Worley holding off Anthony Linkenhoker at the
line for heat two before it was off to the feature. Paul White and Scott
Vasbinder paced the feature with Vasbinder out first and Worley second with Tony
Harris, Bill Rice and Jerald Harris in a group. Lap three saw changes as
Vasbinder slowed with car trouble just as Tony Harris passed Worley to take what
was now the lead. Rice realy came on strong in the second half as he shot by
Worley then set his sights on Harris and with eight laps to go Rice went low by
Harris and headed for the checkers and would not be caught in the caution free
event.
At the flag it was Bill Rice, Tony Harris, Satch Worley, Jerald Harris, Anthony Linkenhoker, French Grimes, Billy Norfleet, Pete Kingrea, Danny Miller, Ron Moyers, Paul White, Carl Simmonds, Chris Ware, Scott Vasbinder and Mike Marr.
Next week Saturday night May 10th the Virginia Sprint Series will travel to
County Line Raceway in Elm City, NC.
