DeGraff OH: (7/24): Shady Bowl Speedway was packed to capacity Saturday for the running of its first of two trailer races scheduled for this season. A full field of over 30 brave souls took the green in cars, pick up trucks and motorhomes, with utility trailers, campers and boats in tow. It was wild scene at the drop of the green as destruction was the best way to describe the action. It just a few laps the track was littered with debris from all the crashes. The race took nearly an hour to decide the winner, with Elliot Dittier being crowned the winner by virtue of being the last car running.

The track also hosted three classes of stock cars in competition. The Modifieds took to the track first. Sidney driver Rodney Roush led the field into turn one at the start with Brian Brandyberry running second. The running order did not change the entire 25 laps as Roush in his "Elias Special"  won his second straight feature. Brandyberry finished second, with Chad Poole third. Poole tries several times to move up, but was unable to make his car work on the high groove. Gary Eaton and Rob Yelton rounded out the top five.  Poole was the winner of the dash, with Austin Troyer winning his second career heat race.

In compact action Steven Salyer of New Carlisle held off fast qualifier and new track record holder Mason Patrick to win the 20 lap feature. The week was a long one for the Salyer crew, as they had major repair work on the Thumpers Auto Glass Beretta after a hard crash the week before. Matt Stone, Todd Trevine and David Yoder rounded out the top five. Jim Massengill won the first heat, with Dustin Young taking heat two.

The sport stock feature was a wild event with a red flag on lap four when Aaron Pippin made contact with Rodney Roush putting both cars into and nearly over the second turn wall. Both drivers were OK, but the cars were towed from the track with heavy damage. Larry Adams paced the field early before being passed by fast qualifiier Jesse Gade. Gade went on to put his NAPA stocker home first, followed by Richard Roush, Chris Abbott, Adams and Steve Hursey. Buck Purtee carried the checker for the heat race.

This Saturday (7/31) the Bowl will feature a 50 lap late model feature with $1000.00 awaiting the winner. The Modifieds, Sport Stocks, Pro-4's, Dwarf Cars and Compacts will also be on the schedule. Racing will start at 7.
