Sportsmanship helps rookie Anderson to first USAC win

The 22 year-old son of Wendell (JR.) and Sharon is the nephew of former NARC driving champions Billy and Johnny Anderson. Greg’s pit crew along with help from Western Speed Racing, and Ken Pierson’s team were able to compile enough parts and expertise to get the Rex Hutchison Race Engines sprinter ready for competition.   Anderson then went out and led all 50 feature event laps on the quarter-mile paved track.

Defending series champion Michael Lewis of Noblesville , Indiana finished second and regained the USAC Western States Sprint Car points lead from teammate Tony Hunt who finished fifth. Third and fourth place Saturday night went to Kenny Hamilton and Brian McClish. Lewis posted quick time for the second night in a row at Meridian .

Shauna Hogg won her heat race for the second consecutive night with Stu art Birkinbine winning the other heat race. Birkinbine was involved in a feature event crash that necessitated a trip to a local hospital. Birkinbine was complaining of neck and back pain. Friday night winner, Mike Murgoitio also had back luck Saturday. A start of the feature crash on the back chute ended the popular local driver’s night prematurely.
