Anderson Is Caney Valley Ace

CANEY, Kan. — Never relinquishing the point Saturday night at Caney Valley Speedway, Oklahoma’s Brandon Anderson held on for his third victory of the season against the American Bank of Oklahoma ASCS Sooner Region presented by Smiley’s Racing Products.

Committed to the hub of the Kansas quarter-mile, Anderson had some pressure in the latter stages of the race as Terry Easum and Dylan Postier began reeling in the No. 55b while battling for second. With Easum leading the charge, the pair worked to Anderson’s back bumper before caution lights came on.

Able to keep pace over the two, the race for second was still anyone’s with Postier finally working into silver on lap 18. Running an altering line that put the No. 10p low in turns one and two, then top in turns three and four, the gap between the top two shrank again just as the caution came out.

Following one final slowdown with three laps to go, Postier gave it a final run, but Brandon Anderson would not be denied. The two were joined on the podium by Terry Easum, with Grady Mercer and Kyle Clark charging through the field to round out the top five.

The finish:

Feature (25 Laps): 1. 55B-Brandon Anderson[1]; 2. 10P-Dylan Postier[2]; 3. 88-Terry Easum[3]; 4. 42-Grady Mercer[4]; 5. 9$-Kyle Clark[15]; 6. 10C-Jeremy Campbell[8]; 7. 90-Lance Norick[9]; 8. 31-Casey Wills[5]; 9. 11-Michael Tyre II[10]; 10. 32-Kolton Gariss[13]; 11. 26M-Fred Mattox[7]; 12. 6-Kaden Taylor[12]; 13. 2-Chase Porter[14]; 14. 79-Tim Kent[6]; 15. 22S-Slater Helt[11]
