ANDERSON, S.C. — Neil Meredith pulled away from the field on a late-race restart to win Saturday’s IHRA Stock Car Series feature at Anderson Motor Speedway.
Meredith, a hometown racer and three-time champion at the three-eighths-mile oval track, first took the lead in his No. 36 Chevrolet from Kade Brown with 53 laps to go. He quickly got away from Brown and others on a restart with three laps to go to win the 125-lap Late Model Sportsman race and capture the $10,000 winner’s purse.
“When they came out with the schedule and Anderson on it, we decided to run the IHRA deal,” Meredith said. “We put a lot of effort into this. The car was amazing.
