Busby before the end of lap one. In a tigh t gro up
behind the lead ers were Bart Bast , Jimmy Sisemore and Bobby Hicks . The second three were
so close togeth er you could ha ve covered them

pa ss. Busby continued to lead for two more laps .
Even though Hedden could pull up' beside him
in th e straights Bu sby dove in to th e corners
harder to maintain the lead. On the back straig ht
Hedden got up beside Busby again and finally
powered past him in the last corne r for the win .
All the rid ers 'crossed the finish line in a tight
group with Busby second and Bast third.
Coming out of ga te two in the Scratch main
event Hedden immediatel y took the lead in the

place as Hicks and Schroeder ran side by side
for the entire race.
As the flag wav ed for the finish it was Hedden with his seco nd win of the evening followed

By Jay and Sharo n Hauser
AXTON, VA. jUNE4
Sha ne Templeton came to Lake Sugar Tree wi th
hopes of a strong ride after a two-mon th layoff
due to a broken foot. Tem pleton's hopes pa nned
out a nd he took the overall victory in the premier 250 A class via a stro ng pair of ru nn er-up
fmishes on a course that was in perfect condition.
Though it was th e facility's season-opening

Chris Anstead slipping his Honda into second.
Templeton and Vann Gibso n were quick to dis ,
place An stead and were hot on McWhorter
within two turns of the start . leaving Anstead to
fight off Mike Eastwood and Scott Shipley for
fifth.
At the halfwa y point M cWhorte r wa s
perched out front with a comfortable 12-second
lead . Templeton was on cruise control in seco nd ,
while Ea stwood and Shipley w orked into a
hea lthy ballle ove r third place.
The Eas twood /Shipley battle ca rri ed th e
pair right up to Templeton, and he found him ·
self in a heated late-moto ballle.
McWhorter cruised past the checkers for the
win while Eastwood and Shipley bo th encounte red a quick slip-up in t he la te stages that
allowed Temple to n to ho ld down the second
spo t. Sh ip ley .took advantage of Eastwood ' s
slide in the ha irp in to car d third . William Finch
was fifth .
In t h e second moto McWhorter aga in
nabbed the holeshot and led the first two laps .
Eastwood. gated a strong second a nd never let
McWhorter get too far away. so when McWhorter bobbled, Eastwood went by for the lead and
took Templeton with him .
Ship ley a lmos t Inad e it by too, but McWhort er go t go in g jus t in time to shut th e door on
Ship ley 's pass .
(Above) Rob McWhorter (1) and Mike
Eastwood (570) each scored a moto win In
250 A racing at Lake Sugar Tree , but It
was Shane Templeton (929) who came up
with the ov erall win via 2-2 moto scores.

Once out front, Eastwood styled his way to
the checkers well ahead of Tem pleton, who was
a gain engaged in a late race battle to keep
McWhorter back in thi rd . Templeton took the
runner-up spot which was good enough to capture th e overall. McWhorter"s third netted him
second on the day over Eastwood's 4-1 score.
