his second place effort a week ago. Lemons was determined not to let that derail his afternoon as the green flag waved for the first of two 75-lap races. Lemons would battle hard for positions inside the top ten, but with only one caution waving over the field, the young driver would be unable to make up much ground and after a late race battle found himself finishing right where he started.

Lemons and his crew worked on his Bailey's Cigarettes Chevrolet in between the first race and time for race number two and he was confident he could rally from his eighth place starting effort to break into the top five. Lemons moved up quickly and easily with the aid of several cautions that plagued the 75-lap affair and in the end the Lemons would grab a fourth place effort for his 9th top five finish of the season. Both of these top ten efforts would give him a total of 14 top tens in just 24 starts this season.

"Tonight was tough, you know this track always draws the top drivers in the region and tonight a few of them were really on their game," said Lemons. "We were just a little off, but we'll work on it and test a little over the next two weeks and be ready to get another win before this season ends."

Lemons will be taking this weekend off as most of the NASCAR Whelen All-American Series sanctioned tracks are off due to the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race in nearby Bristol, TN, but he'll be back in action next Saturday night, August 29th at Motor Mile Speedway. Lemons will follow that up with two more weeks of NASCAR Whelen All-American Series points paying races at Caraway Speedway on September 5th and finishing the season at Motor Mile Speedway on September 12th before taking a few weeks off to prepare for the Bailey's 300 at Martinsville Speedway, the biggest Late Model Stock Car race of the year.

Lemons competes in a Marlowe Racing Chassis powered by a Cox Racing Engine and the up-and-coming driver is supported by; Bailey's Cigarettes, Lemons Backhoe, Summit Construction, Sedberry Construction, Colonial LP Gas and Troy Sporting Goods.
