DeGraff Ohio: In a  night filled with racing action, West Liberty Ohio driver Chris Parker emerged the shining star. Parker survived a wild 50 lap late model main to post his first win of 2010 and pick up $1000.00. Jerry Nagel set the pace the first 31 circuits and looked to maybe have his first win in hand.

The race was red flagged on lap ten when a multiple car crash blocked the track in turn one. Rodney Roush suffered the brunt of the damage for the second week in row in the same spot. Roush was uninjured, but his Monte Carlo took a beating. Nagel as stated, took the lead again when action resumed, with Jim Lewis Jr., Brad Coons, Chris Parker and Buck Purtee rounding out the top five. The paint trading stepped up a nottch as the laps wound down. Parker finally got by on lap 32 and set sail for the checker in his KDC Racing- Dollar General ride. Parker cruised under the checker, with Nagel, Purtee, Greg Sparks and Russ Bobb in tow. Parker dedicated his win to Harley Gross, father of crewmember Jerry Gross who was in grave condition at race time. The family reported that Mr. Gross passed away at 8:00 AM Sunday morning. Heat wins went to Coons and Brad Yelton.

The sport stocks had a strange happening during the running of the 20 lap feature. Mike Scherer, son of former track owner John Scherer decided to be part of the show, as he drove his street car onto the track during a yellow flag. "I can't believe he would embarrass his family name by pulling such a stunt. He not only endangered himself but the other drivers. His rapid drive thru the pit area could have led to a tragedy. His grandfather Raymond Scherer would turn over in his grave if he knew what happened" stated current track owner Charlie Stapleton, The Champaign County Sherriffs department dispatched several crews to the track and Scherer was removed by them. Mike Pippin of Bellefontaine in his brothers H&R Block backed chevy led all 20 laps to claim his first win of season. Terry Purtee, Chris Abbott, Chad Fiessinger and Larry Adams finished second thru fifth. The make up feature from earlier in the month was won by Plain City driver Richard Roush in his Plain City Village Market sponsored Camaro.

The 25 lap modified main saw a familiar face in victory lane for the first time this season. Second generation driver Chad Poole of Springfield led all 25 counters in his Finley Recycling sponsored ride.  Steve Snapp was second, with Rob Yelton third, Joe Pequignot fourth and Brad Yelton fifth. Jim Lewis Jr. won the dash, with Brian Brandyberry carrying the checker for the heat.

The Ohio Valley Dwarf Car Association 20 lap main was won by West Liberty's Daniel Wirrick in the Wirrick Farms racer. Bob Bayse, Jerry Russell, Donnie Eaton and Connie Smith followed. Russell won the heat race.

In Pro 4 action, it was Houston's Steve Clarkson sporting the big smile, after he won the 20ap main. Clarkson's  Reasonable Choices backed racer was pursued across the finish line by David Gerstner, Josh Sage, Dave Sage and Rodney Schrack. Josh Sage was the heat race winner.

In compact racing, Mason Patrick got by Matt Stone with just a few laps to go to win still  another win in the Spains Service Center Probe. Stone held on for second, with Todd Turvine third, Steven Salyers fourth and  JIm Massengill fifth. Heat wins went to Salyers and Massengill.

The Saturday night will mark the return of the super lates, as the Main Event Racing Series makes its annual stop. A 75 lap feature will highlight the night of speed. The Pro-4's, Compacts and Sport Stocks will also do battle. The first green flag will fall at 7 for Apex Aluminum Die Casting night at the races.
