Ringgold, GA (3/21/09) – He may “FIND TROUBLE AGAIN” sometime, but for now the DIRTY WHITE BOY has found a home away from home at the new Boyd’s Speedway dirt track in Chattanooga/Ringgold. To the roar of the crowd from driver introductions, Anthony White lead all 50 laps, pocketing the $3,000. winnings of the CABIN FEVER Super Late Model Championship Saturday night. Only fifth starting Joe Armes (sporting a new BLOOMQUIST chassis) could keep track of the DWB and as the checkers flew, with about a two cars length distance separating the leader from second place. Kentuckians Brandon Kinzer and Tommy Bailey followed Armes with Mike Weeks in fifth crossing the start/finish line. “This place is just real fast.” stated White from JODY MILLARD PEST CONTROL Victory Lane. “I wanted the SLM victory real bad and neglected my Crate, cause I needed my crew to focus on that racecar more” explained the DWB. “I wish we’d been able to take both, but this one, is real good” concluded White. The CABIN FEVER was for many years the season opening event at the old ATOMIC SPEEDWAY in West Knoxville, and was brought back to life under the new ownership of BOYD’s SPEEDWAY that sits on the Tennessee/Georgia state line near Chattanooga.
White ran runner-up in the Crate LM feature race prior to the Super LM 50 lapper. Crate winner Rick Hixson would see sixth in the SLM race. Saturday saw a full field of twenty-four (24) starters with many racers pulling Double Duty in either the Crate or Steel-Head Late Model $2,000. to-WIN events. In SLM qualifying it was THE SKIPPER Skip Arp setting the standard early donning a 14:898 second lap. He would be untouchable until the # 2x “White’s Total Performance, Freddy White’s Masonry, StonePlus, David’s Auto Parts” DWB / Vic Hill powered machine took the field. White popped a 14:827 time, as the 22nd overall qualifier earning the pole for the “A” Main feature. At the Crate LM conclusion, White climbed from his blue DWB racecar and directly into the red one, for back to back, 50 lap features. At the start of the race White darted directly into the lead leaving outside pole-sitter Arp to fend off third fastest qualifier Brian Hickman and Bailey. Former Southern All-Star Champion Jamie Perry pitted quickly ending his run with a last place finish, as the field stayed green, mean and clean until lap 19. The X-MAN Shawn Chastain reared the yellow stalling in turn two, but it was Skip Arp pulling in that shocked and disappointed many racefans.
On the restart White went back to work with Armes and Kinzer following and the field went on another green flag tear that would see Robert Gant and Freddy Dutton leave the dance. Late in the going B. Hickman would pull into the pits ending his Top 10 run. Rick Hixson kept his machine going straight for back to back runs. After winning the Crate LM feature, Hixson mounted his Crate racecar tires onto his Super Late Model and raced to a solid sixth place finish. Other than that the HITMAN Johnny Chastain improved his position by five, finishing just outside the Top 10 in eleventh. Kevin Gibson, Shon Flanary, Ricky Arms and David Earl Gentry were in the mid-pack as White continued his high-speed chess match with Armes. Davy Davis corralled a 12th place finish after starting 19th, finishing just ahead of Robert Stutts and J.J. Nye. Kentucky’s Brian Smith would finish 15th at the 50 lap conclusion. White collected his 1st win of 2009, in a place he’s becoming more and more dominant with every race. For more information visit the tracks web-site www.boydsspeedway.com.
