Tuesday's Race Recap

LOWE'S MOTOR SPEEDWAY -- Some championship contenders were as strong as steel while others bent like aluminum Tuesday night at Lowe's Motor Speedway as Stock Car Steel and Aluminum presented the final night of the 10-race Summer Shootout Series.

In the Verdict Ridge Golf and Country Club Legends Car Pro division, Jordan Anderson saved his best performances for the end of the season, winning the final two races and taking home the championship trophy.

The Columbia, S.C., racer entered the night as the points leader in the series' premier Legends Car division, but had several drivers nipping at his heels. Anderson started fifth in the 20-lap feature and needed only eight laps to power his way to the front and pass Steven Abbey for the lead. Tyler Green then gave chase, but Anderson left nothing to chance in the championship chase as he held off Green for a one-car length victory. Abbey rolled home third for his best finish of the season.

“That was a great win,” Anderson said.  “I never thought when I was out racing go carts at eight years old that I’d be out here winning a (Legends) Pro Championship.  This has been a season long effort.  I was just praying the whole race that this team would be able to bring this home and I’m glad to have this first-place trophy.  I don’t think I’ve ever been this excited before.”

Full Recap Coming Thursday!
