DeGraff OH: It was a scorching hot night for racers Saturday as Shady Bowl Speedway hosted the Delille Oxygen Firecracker 50 for the modifieds. A full field of 24 cars was set to take the green when a huge oil leak from Aaron Pippin put the start on hold. Bud Perry, a former American Modified Series champion took the lead  on lap one. The Edgerton OH driver put his Continental Express backed racer in the low groove forcing any passing attempt to take place on the high side. Veteran driver Mike Carroll put pressure on Perry the entire 50 laps with Rob Yelton running third. The trio ran the entire race bumper to bumper and passed under flagman Mathew Heitzman checkered flag in that order. Gregg Stapleton and Brad Williams rounded out the top five. The win put $5000.00 in Perry's bank account.

The 20 lap sport stock main was won by Chris Abbott of Marion in the Rodney Ridgeway owned Chevelle. Abbott was glad to see the checker, as transmission problems forced officials to tow his car from victory lane. Buck Purtee, Aaron Pippin, Rodney Roush and Jesse Gade rounded out the top five. Roush was the winner of the heat race.

Brandon Bayse of Covington continued his dominance of the  Dwarf car class as he posted still another win in his  RCH Road Oil backed racer. Bob Bayse, Donnie Eaton, Jeff Noll and Josh Sage finished second thru fifth.

 The compacts ran two features, with Mason Patrick winning the make up main in his Kirby Auto Parts Probe taking top spot. Jordon Sage turned in a strong performance to finish second, with Steven Salyer third, Jim Massengill fourth and Matt Stone fifth. The regular feature was a heartbreaker for Todd Turvene, as he lost the lead to his teammate Matt Stone coming to the checker. Stone, in his Glassman sponsored machine took the checker for his first ever feature win.  Turvene was second, with Steven Salyer third, Alex Penny fourth and David Yoder fifth.

The Bowl will NOT be racing on Saturday July 3rd. Racing will resume on Saturday July 10th.
