BRUNSWICK, Ga. – Mar. 12. In a weekend of of racing reminiscent of last year’s sweep of a pair of World of Outlaws Racing Series events at his home track at West Virginia Motor Speedway, Vienna, W.V. veteran Steve Shaver similarly ran the table this weekend in the “Superbowl of Auto Racing” at Golden Isles Speedway. His second win of the weekend was woth $10,000.

Shaver started third on the grid behind polesitter Jared Landers, but outside front row starter Bub McCool grabbed an early lead over Jonathan Davenport, while Bobby Creel worked his way by Landers, Scott Bloomquist, and Shaver and into third. By lap ten, Creel had dived under Davenport to take over second, and Shaver soon followed suit as Landers continued to slide backward.

As McCool negotiated slower traffic by lap 15, Creel had his hands full with Shaver, who was challenging hard for the runner up spot.   As Shaver made a pass stick, Creel began to give up some ground, losing third to Davenport. At the halfway poiont, Davenport had moved up to make it a three-way fight for the lead with McCool and Shaver. Shaver finally prevailed with a winning pass on lap 26, and by then, Steve Francis and Bloomquist had entered the fray to challenge McCool and Davenport.

As McCool and now Francis diced for second a caution slowed the pace on lap- 31, clearing the track for Shaver.  After the restart, Francis secured second and McCool found himself battling Bloomquist for third. As the laps clicked off, Bloomquist disposed of McCool and engaged Francis with ten remaining. In the final circuits, Francis was able to keep Bloomquist at bay and reel in the leader, but Shaver was able to fend off his longtime foe to garner his second win of the weekend.

Chris Madden set fast time for the event, but was forced to bring out a backup car due to mechanical issues and started on the last row. Madden made a strong run to claim sixth place at the finish.
