VANMETER MASTERS HIGH BANKS Anderson, Indiana - July 3, 2009 - Eddie VanMeter used patience and experience to his advantage to claim the International Outlaw Figure 8 Series (IOFS)event at Anderson Speedway Friday night. It was VanMeter's first career IOFS victory and he becomes the third differentwinner in as many events thus far in 2009. Twenty-three cars were on hand as the series made it's first visit of the year to the unofficial home of the IOFS, AndersonSpeedway. Current series point leader, Gary Bedell, was the Edco Welding fast qualifier with a lap of 16.957 seconds. Heatraces went to: Johnny Magee, Eddie VanMeter, and RJ Norton III. A 15 pill was drawn just prior to the feature insuring that fans were in for a treat. Fast qualifier Gary Bedell would have to start no less than 15th in the 50 lap IOFS main event. The front row would find Johnny Magee and Jeff Hizer taking the green flag from starter Ron Sheedy. Jeff Hizer got the jump and lead the opening laps. Within seconds the "X" began to get crowded. The leaders began encountering close calls as theyweaved through the slower cars. Rick Fenwick was beginning to work his way to the front with VanMeter trailing closely. The two would put on a driving exhibition as they worked aroound slower cars that were virtually all over the speedway. Fenwick took the lead near the lap ten mark. Vanmeter began to challenge Fenwick who seemed to be getting around the lapped cars with ease. Just after the half way point, Fenwick was forced to the pits with a flat right rear tire. VanMeter would now have to contendwith Jeff Shackleford who had started dead last in a back-up car after his primary car had broke. Shackleford thrilled fans as he had arguably the best drive of the night up to this point.
