Toby Porter, using a top qualifying time to start on the pole position, led every lap and held off points leader Marty Ward to win the Late-Model Stock main event Saturday night at Greenville-Pickens Speedway.    

 Ward, the points leader, kept attacking throughout the race, but could not manage to get by so he could claim his fifth straight win.     "I had a good car," Porter said in Victory Lane. "This was a good race, and I didn't have any problems at all."    

 Trey Gibson was third, with Ralph Carnes fourth and Kenneth Headen took fifth.    

Jamie Altop took the win in the sportsman main, after Ron Hall and Tim Lollis got together battling for the lead and spun out. Hall came back to finish second with Danny Gilbert was third and Lollis was fourth. Chris Chastain rounded out the field.   

  In the Chargers, Tim Crowe stayed outfront during a rash of restarts to take the win, his first of the season, and it came on the night his son, Dylan Crowe, saw his winning streak snapped in the Pure Stock division.    

 Chuckie Greer was second, with Jamie Tate, Andy Norris and Phillip Peters rounding out the top five.    

 Travis Cox won the first Renegade race, with Freddy Hale, Jr. second and Terry Hawthorne, who had started last due to winning the last race, coming up to take third. Michael Altop was fourth and Charlie Trammell took fifth.    

 Gray McJunkin was the second Renegade winner, with Matt Hale second and Jamie Burton third. T.J. Lollis was fourth and Jim Fitzgerald was fifth.
