The Southeast Super Truck Series and company made the second return visit to Anderson Motor Speedway in Williamston, SC on Saturday June 22. This was the fourth race of the season, and after having a couple weeks off the teams were ready to get back to action. The first practice round it was Cameron Williams who laid down the fastest lap time of 15.923, he was followed by Taylor Hosford (who was making her return to the Super Trucks), Josh Goble, Kyle Barnes, and Tim Lollis. The final practice round it was Taylor who topped the charts in her Roberts Racing #13 Silverado. Cameron Williams, Josh Goble, Tim Lollis and Kyle Barnes rounded out the top five. However it was Easley’s, South Carolina’s Tim Lollis who claimed the Renegade Race Fuel Pole Award in his #50 Busted Knuckle Tire & Auto Silverado. Lollis rolled a four on the invert dice, which now set Goble to start the 50 lap feature in the captain’s chair.
When it came time for the drivers to line up on the track for their feature race, they completed their pace laps, the Double Aught Injury Lawyers pace car ducked down on pit road and out of harms way. The flagman Dylan Greene waved the green flag and the field took off into turn one, however Cameron Williams (who had been experiencing transmission issues all afternoon) seemed to have missed a shift on the takeoff, causing Tim Lollis to slam into the rear of the #15 T&D Trucking Ford F150, Lollis was then punted from behind by Kyle Barnes and sent the #50 down the track and in front of Toby Hollifield’s #5 JR Hollifield & Sons Painting Silverado. Hollifield made hard contact with Lollis and caused his truck to get airborne, resulting in both trucks slamming hard into the inside pit wall. After a extensive red flag to clean up all of the debris, both drivers were helped from their trucks, Hollifield was transported to a local hospital for further evaluations and was later released with two broken bones in his foot.
Goble led the field back to the green flag for the start of the 50 lap feature. Goble led lap one, however Hosford and Williams were fighting already for the second position. Five laps into the race, and Hosford was not wasting anymore time as she took the lead away from Goble. Bennie Davis had flames shooting out from what appeared to be his brakes, he came down to the pit area where his night would end prematurely. With ten laps now in the books, Hosford had checked out over the rest of the field, but the battle for second was one to watch. Josh Goble had a mirror full of Cameron Williams and Kyle Barnes. Taylor Hosford would go on to capture her first Southeast Super Truck Series win, and setting the bar by being the first female to be victorious as well. “This one was definitely hard fought, we stayed patient for it, this was a lot better than second! I have to thank this guy right here, my dad, I wouldn’t even do this if it wasn’t for my dad. My moms not here tonight, hopefully she is watching on tv. All of my Roberts Racing , amazing people, they give the best race cars, and lastly Annett Bus Lines they have stuck with me a long time.” Stated Taylor Hosford in Rick Hendrick City Chevrolet/ Double Aught Injury Lawyers Victory Lane.
The series will take a couple more weeks off before returning to action, the schedule has had another mix up, but should be posted ASAP for our next date. So stay tuned to our Social Media pages as well as our website www.southeastsupertrucks.com.

On Saturday, August 17th the Honey Hush Boutique Limited Late Model drivers returned to Anderson Motor Speedway, after having a month off from action. The evening was shaping up to be one of the best nights of short track racing with all of the talent in the field. Caleb Heady was making his debut in the Roberts Racing #18 Limited Late Model, Heady who was a former competitor in the Southeast Legends Tour and then went on to compete in the Smart Modified Tour and picked up the championship in 2022. Ralph Carnes also returning to action with the series, has always been a threat to everyone when he shows up, and his teammate Justin Southerlin picked up the win the last time out in June. Justin Sorrow also returned to action, he picked up the season opener win but has not competed since the first trip to Lonesome Pine.
The first practice was up and it was Caleb Heady topped the charts, Lance Gatlin, (who is still inching closer to his first win this season) was second fastest, followed by Chase Pollard, and returning to the series, (2021 Southeast Super Truck Series Champion) Clark Houston the fourth fastest time, and rounding out the top five was Asheville’s Roger Powell. Final Practice was up next and it was Houston who topped the charts in his Alps Mountain Affordable Hearing Chevrolet, followed by Gatlin, Tristen Barnes, Gary Greenwood Jr, and Powell. Qualifying was up next and Jeff Caldwell with Jeff’s Auto Sales LLC and Bradleigh Martin with Honey Hush Boutique threw in a extra $200 bucks for the Renegade Race Fuel Pole Award winner, and that was Hickory, North Carolina’s Clark Houston.
Houston rolled a four on the invert dice which now set Eugene Norton to start in the top spot with Heady starting on his outside. Bryan Ramey pulled his Double Aught Injury Lawyers pace car down on to pit road, and flag man Dylan Greene waved the green flag. The drivers soared off into turn one, Norton quickly jumped out front. Five laps down in the books, and Norton was still your leader, Heady was now facing pressure as Houston was trying to work around the #18 machine. Norton had led the first fifteen laps of the race, but now Houston had caught up to his rear bumper. Lap 19 we seen a new leader as Houston powered his #6 Chevrolet to the front of the field by just a nose over Norton. Heady seen the open window just a few laps later and he took advantage of the situation, as he moved Norton back to third position. Norton however was not able to hold onto the third spot long as Gatlin quickly disposed of Norton’s #27, with Austin Peters trying to fight off Carnes for the fith position.
The final ten laps were up for grabs, and Heady who had been riding back in second a majority of the race finally began to turn the heat up on Houston. With six laps to go, Heady finally seen his shot and capitalized on it as he powered past Houston to take over the lead. Heady would go on to capture his first career SEST Honey Hush Boutique Limited Late Model victory in his Roberts Racing #18 Ford Mustang. “I knew we had a good gap in third place, I was just trying to make sure we held that right rear good. I think we were able to save a little more than him (Houston) at the end so we were able to get around him well. Huge thanks to David Roberts, and the whole Roberts Racing. This is quite unbelievable to get the first win in my first late model start” exclaimed Caleb Heady in Rick Hendrick City Chevrolet/ Double Aught Injury Lawyers Victory Lane.
The series will be back in action on Saturday, September 7. And that venue will be announced really soon. Stay tuned to our social media sites as well as our website www.southeastsupertrucks.com

The pace truck dove down onto pit road to kick off the main event of the night. Barnes and Surrett led the field down into turn one for the first time. Barnes quickly pulled ahead of Surrett’s #8 and took the lead coming out of turn two. The first caution flew on lap one as Lollis made slight contact to the left rear of Josh Gobles #65 Utiltough Chevrolet, resulting in Goble going around in turn three. Barnes led the field back to the KRC Power Steering Restart Zone, Surrett seemed to have a slight advantage as the field soared off into turn one, coming out of two Barnes and Surrett made contact, resulting in Surrett slowing way down to avoid making contact with the outside wall.
