BIG NIGHT FOR QUERY AT CONCORD - TAKES WIN AND POINT LEAD

CONCORD, N.C. - Freddie Query of Mooresville had a big night Saturday at Concord Motorsport Park winning the 125-lap Future Cellular Big-10 Series super late model feature and moving to the top spot in the season-long point standings. Travis Sharpe of Swansea, S.C. returned to victory lane in the 50-lap NASCAR late model stock feature on Hank Thomas Performance night at the races.

Other winners were: Kenneth Cook of Concord in the 35-lap Tommy Johnson's Motorsports Warehouse limited late model feature; Brian Love of Mt. Pleasant in the 20-lap Speedway Plumbing pure stock feature; and Chad Miller of Concord in the 15-lap Speedway Plumbing fast and furious fours feature.

Preston Peltier of Concord was the fastest qualifier and drew the second-starting spot for the super late model feature. Unfortunately, he never made it to the green flag as mechanical problems put him out before the race began. That gave the advantage to Jeremy Pate of Pensacola, Fla. who started on the pole position.

Pate led early before Query raced into the lead on lap seven. On lap 12 point leader Dennis Shoenfeld stuffed his car into the concrete wall exiting turn one ending his night. During the caution it was determined Shoenfeld slid in grease from the car of Pate, who was sent to the pits to make repairs.

It was a vintage Query run from that point as he scored his 87th career win. The win, combined with Shoenfeld's troubles, puts Query atop the point standings as teams prepare for the playoffs that begin after the next race.

Former champions Eddie Massengill of Goldsboro finished second with Chris Dunn of Garner third. Pate returned to the track to finish fourth with John Batten of Nashville completing the top five.

Sharpe, who won five races earlier this season, returned to winning form with a dominate run in the late model stock feature. He stated fourth, took the lead on lap three and never looked back scoring his sixth victory.

Ross Furr of Concord rallied from a trip to the rear of the field to finish second. Bo Foust of Charlotte was third with Linny White of Colton, Calif. fourth and Roger Lee Newton of Concord fifth.

Cook turned in a dominant performance in the limited late model feature. He was the fastest qualifier, drew the pole position and led flag-to-flag enroute to his third win of the season and 16th career at the track.

Terry Hoggard and Bobby Measmer Jr., both of Concord were second and third. Brian Pedrick of Denver finished fourth with Randy McAnulty of Concord fifth.

Love started fifth and rolled to his ninth win in 17 pure stock races this season. Steve Irvin of Concord was second with Alvin Thomas of Monroe third. Chad Allmon of Mt. Pleasant was fourth with Steve Ackerly of Monroe rounding out the top five.

Miller started seventh in the fast and furious fours feature and scored his first win of the season. Wayne Harrington of China Grove was second with Chad Johnson of Concord third.

Friday night legends and bandolero racing returned with the winners as follows: Josh Waring of Concord in the legends pro division; John Barilka of Charlotte in the legends masters division; and Justin Morton of Mt. Pleasant in the legends semi-pro ranks. Bandolero winners were: Derrick Long of Gastonia in the outlaws, Cole Miktuk of Rock Hill, S.C. in the young guns, and Ronnie Bassett Jr. of Winston-Salem in the bandits division.

Concord Motorsport Park sits idle Saturday night, with legends and bandolero racing slated for Friday. Racing returns to the half-mile tri-oval on Saturday, Sept. 3 with SunTrust Night at the Races feature round seven - the final round of the regular season - for the Future Cellular Big-10 Series super late models.
