After scoring the running up spot the night before, John Anderson scored the WORLD Dirt Racing League Polydome Late Model Series win at Lakeside Speedway. Despite a series of yellows in the closing stages, Anderson holds off the field for the win.

Kyle Berck took the lead at the drop of the green flag. John Anderson followed right in Berck’s tire tracks. On Lap nine, Anderson was able to slip underneath Berck off of turn two for the lead. The two went side-by-side into turn three, and it was Anderson who came off of turn four with the lead.

Anderson started working lapped traffic, and that allowed Berck to close back up on Anderson’s bumper. Jeremy Payne closed in on the front two at the same time. A yellow on lap twenty-five would give Anderson a clean track, and he controlled the field for the win.

Kyle Berck ran second trying to hold off Payne for several laps. Payne worked his number “74” to the high side and took over the second spot. Berck suffered mechanical problems and was forced pit side before the race was over.

Payne finished second to Anderson. Eric Pember ran a solid top five all night securing a third place finish. Ploydome Late Model Series Rookie points leader John Kaanta finished fourth followed by Kelly Boen.

“I would have loved to race against Terry (Phillips), but we’ll take the win,” Anderson admitted from the AMSOIL Victory Lane. Phillips, who Anderson finished second to the night before at Lakeside, was scheduled to start on the outside front row with Anderson. Mechanical problems with the drive train forced Phillips to the infield just before the green flag was waived to start the fifty-lap affair.

“I’m so happy to grab a WDRL win,” Anderson smiled. “It’s been a while. In the dash, we figured the track would be about the same, so we made a few adjustments (on the car). The Shop Quickie Convenience Stores Mastersbult number ‘2’ was fast.”

“During the feature, I just tried to save tires,” remembered Anderson. “I was a little worried about all the yellow flags at the end, but the tires stayed with me each time we restarted.”

“We ripped off five second place finishes in-a-row, including last night,” Anderson said. “But this win will help everyone keep digging.”

Next up for the WDRL Polydome Late Model Series will be the season finale at the Davenport Speedway in Davenport, IA on Friday October 5 and 6. To learn more, log onto their web site at www.worldraceleague.com.
