Several area racers found their way into victory lane at area racetracks over the weekend.

Commerce racer Ty Lowe added some hardware to his trophy shelf by winning the Crate Late Model division at Lavonia Speedway Friday night. It was his second win on area dirt tracks in as many weeks.

Paul Kelley of Pendergrass and Braselton’s Shane Sawyer put on a late-race duel at Lanier National Speedway Saturday, swapping the lead three times in the last five laps before Kelley took the lead for good. Sawyer made a late charge, but Kelley was able to just stay ahead at the finish line for the win in the 100-lap Pro Late model event.

Sawyer also competed in Lanier’s Super Late Model event that night, finishing third while Jefferson’s Joey Senter finished fourth. Jason Hogan of Cleveland won.

Maysville’s Joey Love picked up win number 13 on the season in the Open Wheel Modified division at Lanier.

Bobby Hill of Jefferson grabbed the win in the Hobby stock division at Toccoa Speedway Saturday night. Jefferson’s Nicholas Baxter finished seventh in the Stock 4 Cylinder class that same night.

Lilburn’s Ken Butler III took home seventh-place honors over the weekend in the Pennsylvania ARCA 200 at Pocono, PA, on Saturday. John Wes Townley of Watkinsville finished ninth, and Suwanee driver Michael Phelps finished 14th. Justin Allgaier was the winner.

Lawrenceville’s David Odell took home a strong second-place finish in Saturday’s ASA Late Model Renegade 125 at Orange County Speedway in Rougemont, NC. Odell is contending for Rookie of the Year honors on the tour this year. Jimmy Lang picked up the win.

Dacula’s Andy Lally, along with co-driver Tim George Jr. finished sixth in class and 23rd overall in the Grand Am sports car event at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve in Montreal, Quebec on Saturday.

Several NASCAR Sprint Cup teams tested at Road Atlanta in Braselton to get ready for this weekend’s Cup event at Watkins Glen, NY. As many as 12 teams were reported to have tested on the legendary road course, including the teams of Kurt Busch, Bobby Labonte, Kasey Kahne, Marcos Ambrose and Boris Said, as well as members of Hendrick Motorsports.
