| Prescott LMS Winner at Columbia | LAKE CITY, Fla. - Despite leading the early laps, it was a late race run to the front which sparked the win in the 25 lap late model stock feature for Jeff Prescott Saturday night at Columbia Motorsports Park. Prescott led early before Pete Richardson took command on lap eight and began to build a margin when Jody Turner lost an engine on lap 13. The resulting melee put Richard Ferry in command for a trio of laps before Prescott came storming back to gain the lead and eventual win. Ferry crossed the stripe second over Roy Crain, Richardson and Eddie Gainey.
The rough and tumble Florida modified headliner found veteran Gene Owen in command and strolling and headed for an apparent comfortable win in the 20 lap main event. But, on the final lap, headed for the checkers, Roger Webb, with a full head of steam on the outside, collided with Owen and an alert Mike Bennett shot the gap for the close victory over Greg Nordstrom. Jason Garver, Rick McManaway and a recovering Webb completed the top five.
Charles Seroki bested a good field of street stocks to win the Money Man 35 lap special. Kelly Barber led to lap 25 when engine failure sent him to the sidelines and put Seroki in front. Nick Reid chased but settled for runner-up honors over Ray Wheeler, Jeremy Ulmer and Dave Barber,Jr
Pure stock action saw Anthony Crain lead wire to wire for the win in the 20 lappper. Point leader William Jerkins was all over him throughout but checkered second ahead of L.H. Davis, Matt Stafford and Harry Stickle.
The winged TBARA sprint cars head the program next Saturday night.
