Linkenhoker Takes the Low Line to Win

After last week’s rain and snow this week was very warm sunny and breezy to kick off the season and Anthony Linkenhoker adapted the best to win the first race of the year.

Heats started the night with Jerald Harris and Anthony Linkenhoker taking wins.

Linkenhoker and Mike Keeton were pacing the field to green with Linkenhoker out first and Keeton behind and Tony Harris up to third.

The caution free event was clicking on as Daren Bolac got back by Tony Harris and went after Keeton lap after lap but the bottom was the place to be and he stayed there.

Tom Humphries was working on Tony now but Harris was staying strong. Linkenhoker was staying smooth up front even as he caught the rear of the field and that was all he needed to do as he drove under the waving checkered flag.

At the line it was Anthony Linkenhoker, Mike Keeton, Daren Bolac, Tony Harris, Tom Humphries, Jerald Harris, Bill Rice, Jake Karklin, Chris Ware and Neil Sandridge

Next week its back to Shenandoah Speedway on Saturday night April 21st.
