DeGraff OH (7/17). It was KTH Night at Shady Bowl Speedway Saturday
with one of the best crowds of the season on hand to view the night
of speed.
Rob
Yelton continued his hot streak in the late model class by taking
the checker for the seventh time this season. Jason Dillon set the
pace early in the event before a red flag flew when Tim Allen
crashed heavily into the frontchute wall . Allen was uninjured but
his car suffered heavy damage. Dillon took over the lead again on
the restart only to be overtaken by Yelton in his Toms Service Barn
backed racer. Yelton once again proved to be the class of the field
as he crossed the finish line on lap 25 followed by Chris Parker,
Buck Purtee, Brandon Bayse and Jerry Nagel. Nagel and Brad Coons
collected heat wins.
The
25 lap Modified main saw Sidney's Rodney Roush lead the field into
turn one. Roush, behind the wheel of "The Elias Special" put his
open wheeler in the low groove and took command as the laps began to
count down. Roush flew under the checkered flag to take his first
win of the season followed by a pack of cars led by Brian
Brandyberry, Chad Poole, Rob Yelton and Joe Pequinot. Pequinot won
the dash, with Austin Troyer winning the heat.
The
20 lap sport stock feature was a little short on cars, but it seemed
as if they all made contact with one another at some point. When all
the dust had cleared Chad Fiessinger of Fort Loramie was in victory
lane in his Apex Aluminum Camaro. The win was far from easy as he
survived a late race charge by Jesse Gade to win by mere inches.
Rodney Roush, Aaron Pippin and Robert Roush rounded out the top
five. Pippin carried the checker for the heat race.
In
Ohio Valley Dwarf Car Association racing, Daniel Wirrick took over
the lead from Jerry Russell shortly after the halfway point to post
the win in his Wirrick Farms racer. Russell, Bob Bayse, Josh Sage
and Jesse Gade finished second thru fifth. Bayse was the winner in
heat action.
The
Pro-4 main saw Houston's Steve Clarkson power his Rosewood Machine
stocker to victory lane. The win was a welcome for Clarkson who had
a season marred by tough luck. Rodney Schrack had a great night with
his runner up spot plus a heat win. Tom Voyles was third, with Dave
Sage fourth and Randy Human fifth.
In
compact action it was a familiar sight after the checker, as Mason
Patrick once again put his Kirby Auto Parts Ford Probe into victory
lane twice by winning the heat and feature. Matt Stone, Jordon
Sage, Todd Turvine and Jim Massengill rounded out the top five.
This
Saturday (7/24) will mark on of the highlights of the season when
the track is taken over by the Trailer, Boat and Camper Race. The 09
race saw a huge turnout of fans and entrants to watch and
participate in the craziness. The Modifieds, Sport Stocks and
Compacts will also be in action. Racing will start at 7.
