ANDERSEN RETURNS HOME TO POST NORTHEAST FOCUS; STEVENS TAKES POINTS LEAD

New Englander Brit Andersen of Branford, Conn. triumphed Saturday for the

Andersen, who two days earlier finished third in a USAC Carolina/Virginia
Ford Focus race in Hickory, N.C., took the lead from Stephanie Stevens and
led Stevens, Michael Sboro, Jeff Abold and Dana Messier to the stripe in the
25-lapper. Stevens, Sboro and Ryan Osborne shared time on the point before
Andersen coveted the spot on Lap 18.

Stevens grabbed the series points lead from Ryan Smith, the season opening
