The excitement was almost in the anticipation  Friday night at Greenville-Pickens Speedway, but Anthony Anders provided plenty  of excitement on the final lap of the annual 50-lap Shrine Race.

Anders, who had passed Marty Ward for second place  with 15-laps remaining, ducked below Toby Porter and pulled out front to take  the checkered flag on the final lap.

For the first 22 laps, fans were treated to a tight  battle between Toby Porter and David Roberts, then Roberts' engine exploded  going into the third turn.

Then, when the race was restarted, Fans watched as  Porter, point leader Marty Ward, Anders, and Jeremy Burns battled for the top  spots. Anders passed Ward with 15-laps remaining,setting up the final lap pass  for the win.

With Anders in front, Toby Porter and Ward in the  next two spots, that puts Ward 78 points ahead for his sixth track  championship.
    "There, on the last lap, Toby seemed to get in  there a little hot, and I managed to get by," Anders said. The local veteran  went on to thank his crew and friends, wanting them to share in the  victory.

Burns took fourth and Ralph Carnes was fifth.  Kenneth Headen was sixth. Tasha Kummer was seventh, with John Hawkins,  Barry Boggero and Travis Allen rounding out the top ten.

The results of the Late-Model Stock are unofficial,  pending post-race inspection.

Jamie Tate took the checkered flag in the Sportsman  division main event, as Tim Lollis finished second. Jamie Altop was third, and  Les Mahaffey took fourth just before crossing the finish line. Robin  Darnell was fifth as Kenneth Headen was sixth. Tony Bridgeman was sixth and  Chris Chastain was seventh.

It seemed to be Zach Pressley's race to lose in the  Charger division, but a mechanical problem put him on the sideline  and Michael Mote went on for the victory. James Johnson was  second, Ryan Dombrosky third. Phillip Peters and Tim Crowe rounded out the  top five.

Andrew Cordell found the best place to be when  trouble breaks out is ahead  of the trouble. In the first Renegade  main event, Cordell was in
front when the second and third place drivers got  together and spun, collecting most of the field. Travis Cox, Edward Ragsdale,  and Christy Kelley avoided the crash and restarted in the top five places when  the race restarted with four laps remaining. Zach Meinders came back to  finish fourth.

Shawn Campbell took the point from Alex Guthrie  with just two laps remaining in the second Renegade race and held on for the  win. Travis Long was third, with TJ Lollis fourth and Terry Hawthorne came  up to finish fifth.

Chase Thomason held off Camden Francis to take the  win in the Pure Stock main event, with Dylan Crowe in third, and Michael  Culbertson in fourth.
