STEWART, Ohio (July 16) - A great night of racing culminated with a classic AMRA Late Model battle won by young second generation driver K.C. Burdette. The win by Burdette breaks a string of wins by someone named Chris--either Chris Carpenter or Chris Garnes. In the AMRA Modifieds Vince Conrad brought home the big feature win. Late Model driver Jeff Burdette had to be proud. Both of his sons sat on the front row for the exciting 25-lap event. 20-year old K.C. Burdette aboard the Freddie Carpenter C-4, numbered with a K.C. 44 for the evening's event got the jump on younger brother Colten. Colten held his own for several laps in second, but after a lap eleven caution waved for Ralph Withem, veteran Chris Garnes too over second on the restart. Garnes was up from seventh position in one of many strong charges. Two laps later Chris Carpenter rocketed into the mix. Carpenter was up from 11th to third, and advancement of eight positions, a drive that allowed him to share hard-charger honors with Travis Brookover up from 18th to 11th. Scott Wolfe bagged Larry Bond and Jeff Burdette for sixth after a twelfth place start. That ignited a three-way battle for fourth between Roy Roush, Colten Burdette and Wolfe. Roush finally passed Burdette on the last lap for fourth. Bub Crum and Nick Corbitt had strong runs into the top ten, while Larry and Andy Bond fought hard for seventh. No one however, could stop the high-flying K.C. Burdette. Garnes and Carpenter nipped at his heels, but Burdette was the class of the field on this night. Rounding out the top ten were Burdette, Garnes, Carpenter, Roy Roush, Colton Burdette, Scott Wolfe, Larry Bond, Nick Corbitt, Andy Bond, and Bub Crum. Burdette said in victory lane, " I never knew i had so many fans, I've never seen so many people in my life down at the fence and down here on the track. I'd like to thank every one who supports me, especially Fast Freddie Carpenter and my girlfriend Haley Mcpeek."
