BRASELTON - Several close finishes highlighted a solid night of racing at Lanier National Speedway Saturday night.
In the closest race of the night Mike Childers and Brian Beckham traded paint most of the 15-lap Street Stock event with Childers winning in a photo-finish.
Beckham spent much of the night trying to convince track officials with a video of the race that he had won but to no avail.
Another great finish was in the 40-lap Pro Late Model where Shawn Simpson nipped Fredrick Moore at the line after battling side-by-side over the final three laps. Moore had led since taking the lead on Lap 11 but Simpson was able to grab the lead on Lap 38 on a restart of a late caution.
The $250 bounty on Joey Love in the open-wheeled modified class will remain after Love was able to hold off the Barrett brothers' blocking attempts to get the win. Kevin Barrett, Jr. and Charlie Barrett blocked Love the first 10 laps but Kevin Barrett slid into the wall on Lap 11 and Love was able to get by Charlie Barrett on the restart and cruised to the victory.
In other action, Jeff Chadwick got his first-ever win at LNS in the Sportsman division while Jeremy Parrish got the win in the supertrucks after starting in the rear of the eight-car field.
In the Legends series, Austin Hill got the win in the semi-pro class while Bill Close got the Masters win and Will Prance won the pro division.
In the Bandeleros, 11-year-old Watkinsville native Brady Boswell took the Bandit win while Cody Garland won the Young Guns division.
