SIGMON CONTINUES SUCCESS

Rick Sigmon might consider a full season of racing next year in Franklin County Speedway's Late Model Stock Car division.

Sigmon won the 50-lap Late Model feature on Saturday for his second victory in just three starts. He held off runner-up Bobby Radford, a 10-time winner this season and the points leader in the division.

Sigmon started on the outside pole behind Radford and took the lead for good on the second lap.

``Bobby drove me clean,'' Sigmon said. ``He got up to my door, but I just pulled away. I could see his tires, but I just held my line on the track. We've got the best crew in the Late Model division right now, and they know this track and setup here better than anybody.''

Kenny Wagner finished in third place, with Phillip Vanderveer fourth and Lowe Smith fifth.

Steve Lynch and Jimmy Mullins overcame mechanical and equipment problems to finish sixth and seventh, respectively.

In the Street Stock division, Mike Elkins raced to the victory ahead of Mike Dudley. Freddy Goff finished third with David Stout and Steve Hurley finishing fourth and fifth, respectively.

In the Mini Stock division, Chris Martin won, followed by James Cox in second, Rick Janney in third, Jeff Hodges in fourth and Gary Clifton in fifth.

Neil Murray won the Pure Stock race, with Jay Peery in second, Greg Tester in third, Tommy Dooley in fourth and Kevin Ransome finishing fifth.

In the Rookies division, Ricky Ferguson took the checkered flag ahead of Mark Stoner in second place, Bobby Davis in third, Scott Foley in fourth and Bob Craggar in fifth.

Chris Hatchett won the Truck race ahead of second-place Robbie Hatchett.

Paul Milline took the Any Car event.
