Friday's Race Recap

CONCORD, NC -- Jordan Anderson came into Friday's race at Concord Motorsport Park with high hopes after coming just a few feet short of Victory the last time Jordan raced at Concord.

The day started off a little slow as Jordan had to run in new NPR cut tires during practice, but by the 2nd round of practice the tires had been run well enough to where Jordan could run some fast laps during his last round of practice.

For his heat races, Jordan would knew he would have to work hard to get to the front. Jordan started in the 5th position in his heat race but didn't stay there long. Once the green flag flew on the Legends Car heat races the drivers were off. Jordan had already picked up 2 spots by the time the field went through the first corner! Jordan then methodically made his way past 2nd and was setting up to pass the leader when a caution came out for a spinning car. On the restart Jordan sucked right up behind the leaders car. After a few laps of racing hard, Jordan came out on top with lead. Jordan would go on to win his 4th straight heat race at Concord Motorsport Park, giving him the pole position for the main race later that night.

After talking with his crew about how his car handled during the heat race, Nick Pistone and the crew decided to make a few minor changes to Jordan's car to prepare it for the feature race.

When the green flag fell on the Pro/Master feature race the drivers were off, but not for long. Supposedly Jordan and the 2nd place car "jumped" the initial start, so the entire front row was moved to the back for the start. Even though Jordan saw his pole starting spot diminish, he still knew he had a chance for victory. When the green flag fell on the field again Jordan was off, picking up positions every lap. On lap 5 Jordan was back in the lead. The race ran clean with Jordan Anderson in first and Thomas Hartensveld only a few car lengths behind him in 2nd.

After the caution and the green flag was back out, and a five lap shootout was underway. Jordan was able to hold onto the lead after the restart, and led the rest of the race. This was Jordan's 3rd win at Concord Motorsport Park of 2007.
