by: Ronnie Williams

LEBANON, MO. (July 21, 2006) - The weather provided a cooler evening but the racing action at the LebanonMidwaySpeedway was still hot and heavy with 80 race teams in the pits and some new faces in the winners circle.

The evening started with the SuperStock feature as Mark Davis grabbed the opening lead with Travis Hill following closely.On lap 3,Hill grabbed the top spot as back in the pack JC Newell,Donnie Gennings and point leader Ben Newell were battling for positions.Hill opened up the lead and it looked as if the rookie would become the 4th winner in this class until lapped traffic slowed the leader up on lap 8.Veteran racer JC"The Gentle Giant"Newell closed-up the gap and battled for the lead while Ben Newell was gaining along with Donnie Gennings.On lap 10,JC grabbed the top spot and began to pull away as Ben Newell took over second place on lap 11.With JC setting a quick pace,son Ben closed-up and caught the leader on lap 13.Heading for the white flag,Ben went to the outside as JC still set the pace.Coming for the last lap,Ben took over out of turn 2,but JC grabbed it back into turn 3.Coming for the checkered Ben shot to the outside again as the duo rubbed coming out of turn 4 with Ben grabbing the win by less than 3 inches with JC Newell,Travis Hill,Donnie Gennings and Randy Hill following.

The Bomber feature provided full moon action without the moon as Randy High grabbed the lad from Brian Goff gonig into turn 2 with James Redus following.High and Redus ran bumper to bumper as Billy Waters was coming quickly from his 8th starting spot.Following a couple of quick cautions for Chad Cromer and debris on the track,High and Redus continued this battle when Shawn Winfrey began his charge from 19th starting spot.Winfrey who was involved in a crash in his heat and took alot of damage had the car riding down low and moved into the top 5 on lap 9 just as Redus moved around High to take the lead.The caution flew on lap 10 as the field bunched-up on the restart with Redus in control as Winfrey was in the runner-up spot.On lap 12,Winfrey used the low groove to his liking and took over the lead with Redus following closely followed by High nd Billy Waters.As the field took the checkered,Winfrey broke his back luck streak by claiming the win with Redus,Waters,Missy Shaw and High in the top 5.
