But in the 100-lap feature of the Kingery Brothers 300, Lawhorn started in front of Sigmon and didn't let him pass.
For the second week in a row, Lawhorn started on the pole and never was passed. Sigmon, who qualified second (.06 seconds behind Lawhorn's 14.31) and stayed there all night, was within a car-length at the finish. Salem's Ronnie Newman was a close third.
"My machine's running pretty good right now," Lawhorn said.
In other races Saturday:
Mini Stock points leader Tommy Dean overtook two-time winner Steve Lynch on lap 23 of their 25-lapper and recorded his third win of the season. Jimmy Cox finished second and Lynch was awarded third when Jimmy Link's vehicle failed to pass inspection.
Pole-sitter Freddie Goff won the 25-lap Street Stock competition for the first time this year. Four-time '93 winner Phillip VanDerVeer placed second and Lonnie Foley edged Chris Foley for third.
R.W. Lawhorne won his fourth consecutive race in the 25-lap Pure Stock division. Kenny McKinney, tied for eighth in points entering the race, continued his climb in the standings with another second. Kevin Ransom was awarded third when Ernest Handy was disqualified for illegal tires.
Fifteen year-old Josh Ingram, who won't have a driver's license until August, thrilled the crowd with a weaving win in the Rookie competition. Ingram started eighth in the 18-car field, and took the lead on lap 23. John Troxell and Neal Amos finished second and third, respectively.
Dean Sutphin became the first FCS driver to win five races this season, prevailing in the 25-lap Any Car nightcap. Tom Hall was second and Joe Nugent was third.
