MARTIN MASTERS NAPA WCS SPRINTS; DROWN DIALS UP L.M. VICTORY

Friday, May 17, 2013

Orrville, Ohio

By Mike Swanger

Wooster's Broc Martin rolled out for the first time this season in the Fisher Performance Sprints at NAPA Auto Parts Wayne County Speedway and looked to be in mid season form as he drew the number one pill to start on the pole of the 25 lap feature and would lead all the way to park the Santmyer Oil, SCFN, and Jim Smith #83 in victory circle. As Bob Lime and Jason Dolick dueled early on for second, Martin would build up a huge lead as Danny Mumaw, Andrew Palker and Chris Myers would have to battle through Lime and Dolick to get into second. Myers would spin out on lap 10 and have to work his way back up through the field as Dolick would bring out the caution on lap 14 and retire to the pits. On the restart, Mumaw made a charge for the lead, but Martin fended that run off and would jump back out to a half a straightaway lead and as the laps wound down, Martin would encounter some lapped traffic and that allowed Mumaw one last drive for the win but Martin slipped through the back markers to post his first win. Palker, the Dzugan Fire and Rescue fast qualifier, finished third with Myers weaving his way back up to fourth as Lee Jacobs rounded out the top five. Palker and Myers won the Saldana Racing Products heat races.

With the World of Outlaw Late Models heading into town next week, a couple of PA drivers popped into town this week as Davey Johnson would be the Dzugan Fire and Rescue fast qualifier with Keith Barbara also checking in. Johnson, Doug Drown and Charlie Duncan posted the Summit Racing Equipment heat wins but Johnson's powerplant began smoking at the end of his heat and he would not make the call for the feature for the Lias Tire Late Models. Wooster's Drown and Shane McLoughlin would start on the front row of the feature and they would go side by side for the opening three laps as Keith Berner edged past McLoughlin for second on lap six with Ryan Markham moving past McLoughlin two laps later as Barbara and Corey Conley wheeled and dealed for fourth. As the race wore on, Drown and his Weekley Electric and Wooster Glass #63 would increase his lead as Berner and Markham fought for second with Barbara and Conley flip flopping for fourth and at the checkered flag it was Berner behind Drown with Markham, Barbara and Conley trailing, Kyle Bates won the last chance race.

Newark's Kevin Morehouse topped the VP Racing Fuel heat race and then went flag to flag for the NAPA Auto Parts Modified feature for his first win of the season aboard the Sam's Used Cars and Morehouse Logging #28. Dzugan Fire and Rescue fast qualifier, Chris Basich finished second for the third time this season as Mike Mizer,opening night feature winner Nathan Loney and Josh Morrow filled out the top five.

Brandon Gardner charged to the low side of the track from his third place starting position and came out of turn two with the lead and then lumbered through numerous cautions to pick up his second win. Driving the Rowtac, GLR, and RDL #27g, the Miamisburg driver would drive out to a six car length lead as Brandon Craver, Jeremy Lynch and Bob Daugherty went back and forth for second with Todd Swim joining the action. As the checkered flew it was Gardner, Lynch, Daugherty and Swim making a last lap pass on Craver for fourth. Larry Baldwin was the Dzugan Fire and Rescue fast qualifier for the Thrifty Muffler Super Stocks as Daugherty, Lynch and Shawn Cains won the Summit Racing Equipment heats as Todd Gallion pocketed the last chance win.

The WQKT Mini Stocks stayed bunched together as Gary Hensel Sr, Doug Hensel, Jason Shaw and Jason King all had the lead at one time or another as a couple of times they were four wide down the front stretch. With a caution on the next to last lap, the double file restart saw Hensel Sr. jump the start on Shaw and finished first but was docked to places for the jump start to give the win to Shaw and his Finishline Motors #1, his second in a row. Billy Parsons took home second followed by Hensel Sr., King and Jeff Barker. Heat winners were Hensel Sr and King.

Tanner McLoughlin of Zanesville won the heat and then lead all the way in the Mini Wedge main to park the 2 Brothers Motorsports and McLoughlin Auto Sales #59 in victory circle for the second time this season. Logan Duncan who was the only other driver on the lead lap finished secon with Daniel Selway, Billy Dawson and Mason Duncan checking in to the top five.

Next Friday night, May 24th will be the World of Outlaw Late Models chasing down the $10,000 to win race with the BOSS Wingless Sprints and the Thrifty Muffler Super Stocks in action with race time set for 7:45 pm. Check the website at http://www.waynecountyspeedway.com/ for all the info.

MUMAW, CONLEY, HOLBROOK, GARDNER, SHAW & STAFFORD SNARE CHECKERS AT NAPA WCS

Friday, May 3, 2013

Orrville, Ohio

By Mike Swanger

Warmer temps and tightly contested races had the crowd on their feet most of the night at NAPA Wayne County Speedway on Pepsi night. Wooster's Danny Mumaw drew the #1 pill to start on the pole of the Fisher Performance Sprint feature with last season's track champion, Andrew Palker right beside. At the drop of the green flag, Mumaw took the point as a lap two caution for third running Josh Davis slowed the action. On the restart, Mumaw set sail as Palker had to deal with Danny Smith for second as Dean Jacobs and Caleb Helms battled for fourth with last weeks winner, Kory Crabtree on their bumpers. Smith moved into second on lap 10 and had a straightaway gap to catch up to Mumaw's Finishline Autobody, Hitchcock Excavating and Coblentz Trucking #16. Mumaw would get slowed up by some slower cars and allowed Smith to close the gap. Jacobs powered past Palker with eight laps to go with Helms still in fifth. Chris Smith spun with two laps to go to bunch the field up but Mumaw darted away from Danny Smith to score his first win of the season as Jacobs, Palker and Helms filled out the top five. Jacobs was the Dzugan Fire & Rescue quick timer as he and Helms won the Saldana Racing Products heats.

Brad Malcuit and Wellsburg WVa's Corey Conley drew front row for the Lias Tire Late Model main with Conley taking control of the race right away. The Ballato's Towing, Wheeling Auto Body and Poske's Performance #14 would lead all the way in the caution filled race. Charlie Duncan started fourth but slipped off the back side of the backstretch to drop back to eighth as last years champ, Shane McLoughlin, Rick Bond, Ryan Markham and George Lee were changing positions every lap. Eyes were on 18th starting JR Gentry, who had to change cars for the feature and start last and in three laps had moved up ten spots and was moving up fast. Duncan had recovered from his early slip and at the ten lap mark, had moved into second and closing on Conley with Malcuit, McLoughlin and Markham in the top five with Bond and Lee close behind. Using the highside, Gentry was still picking his way through the pack and moved to third on lap 15 when the caution flew. Although everything looked good with the #240, Duncan took his ride pitside at that time and would put Gentry into second and he would pursue Conley. Gentry's run came to screeching halt on lap 23 when he went too high into turn three and slammed into the guardrail at the end of the straightaway, bringing out the red flag, ending his night but was ok. On the last restart, Markham, who had just passed Malcuit, could not make a run at Conley as Lee moved by Malcuit on the white flag lap to claim third as Bond took fifth. Lee and Duncan topped the Summit Racing Equipment heats as Lee was also the Dzugan Fire & Rescue fast qualifier.

Newark's Larry Holbrook took the lead on lap four from last week's winner, Nathan Loney and then put the One on One Fitness, RCD Sales and Xtreme Chassis #L19 into victory lane of the NAPA Auto Parts Modified main. Chris Basich moved by Loney with five laps to finish second for the scond week in a row while 8th starting Mark Gardiner used the high side to take third from Loney the next circuit with Jeff Votaw grabbing fifth. Loney picked up the Dzugan Fire & Rescue fast qualifier money as Basich won the VP Racing Fuel Heat win.

Numerous cautions filled the Thrifty Muffler Super Stock feature but it was action packed as Miamisburg's Brandon Gardner would fend off early challenges from last weeks winner, Kyle Moore and a late charge by Bob Daugherty. Moore would spin himself on lap 8 to go to the tail and Daugherty would get charged for hitting and spinning Gardner on a restart on the next to last lap and exited the track at that point. The Schaeffer Oil, Rowtec, and GLR #27g of Gardner kept last years track champion, Brandon Craver, at bay on the last lap for the win as Moore recovered to take third with Shawn Cains and Jeremy Lynch filling out the top five. Moore won the Dzugan Fire & Rescue quick timer money as he and Daugherty won the Summit Racing Equipment heats.

Jason Shaw and his Finishline Motors #1 held off early runs by Brad and Doug Hensel and then sped away to post the WQKT Mini Stock win. The Hensel's would run side by side most of the race with Brad taking second and Doug third. Mitch Reichard held off Lester Berry for fourth place. Brad Hensel scored the heat win.

Tanner McLoughlin looked like he was going to win his second Mini Wedge feature but spun out on the last lap that allowed Zoe Stafford to take over the lead and she would hang for her first win aboard the Coshocton based, Flint Run Valley Farms #31. Logan Duncan, Billy Dawson, Danny Selway and McLoughlin, the heat winner, filled out the top five.

Next Friday night will be a Mother's Day Special with all the divisions in action beginning at 7:45 pm. Check out the website at http://www.waynecountyspeedway.com/ for all the latest at the track.

CRABTREE, KING, LONEY, MOORE, HENSEL & McLOUGHLIN CAPTURE WILD OPENING NIGHT WINS AT NAPA WCS

Friday, April 26, 2013

Orrville, Ohio

By Mike Swanger

After rain and cold shot down NAPA Wayne County Speedway's WoO Late Models and Renegade's of Dirt opener two weeks ago, everyone was chomping at the bit to see some racing action on the 3/8 mile oval. Since the transponders and scoring system went into place, no laps have been turned as fast as they were in qualifying for the Lias Tire Late Models as Russ King turned two laps in the 16 second bracket with the fastest at 16.737 on the well groomed racing surface.

The opening feature on VP Racing Fuels night would be the Fisher Performance Sprints with West Jefferson's Kory Crabtree setting on the pole and out hustling Wes McGlumphy into turn one for the lead that would last one lap as fourth starting Lee Jacobs would blast into the lead as last years track champion, Andrew Palker and Danny Mumaw and Beau Stewart had worked their way into the top five at the ten lap mark. With Jacobs expanding his lead a tight battle was shaping up with Crabtree, Palker and Mumaw as Danny Smith now in fifth at the halfway mark. Just as Jacobs started lap 17, a big cloud of smoke erupted out of his #81 as he kept up the pace but as the pack went into turn four, Palker jumped the cushion and hit the wall and flopped onto his side to bring out the red flag ending his night and Jacobs had lost all oil pressure and went pitside also. On the restart, Crabtree and his Crabtree Body Shop, Millhone Motorsports, and Mike's Trucking #60, dashed out to the lead as Danny Smith powered past Mumaw and Stewart for second but could not track down Crabtree. Fast Qualifier Chris Myers moved past Stewart with five laps to go to claim fourth.

Brad Malcuit and Charlie Duncan brought the Lias Tire Late Model field to the green flag and Charlie Duncan charged into the lead as Malcuit ran second and a dogfight between JR Gentry, last season's track champ, Shane McLoughlin, Rick Bond, Cory Conley and King was brewing for third. Gentry went highside of in turn three and spun in the cushion to bring out the caution on lap seven. As Bond, King, Malcuit and Conley wheeled and dealed with each other, Duncan opened up another big lead. Bond and King ran tightly together with some contact at the halfway mark with King taking over with a lot of track to make up on Duncan. With four to go, the lapped car of Jerry Aber and King touched with Aber spinning to slow the action. On the restart King was all over Charlie Duncan but could not slip past and on the last lap going into turn three, King and his King Brothers Ready Mix Concrete, All Star Performance and Michael Schimmley Kontracting #56 powerslid into Duncan with contact and rolled out of turn four with the lead and win. Duncan held on to second as Conley, McLoughlin, and Bond rounded out the top five.

The Thrifty Muffler Super Stock feature took the green flag with Kyle Moore and Jeremy LynchStaying side by side for the opening lap but Moore got sideways in turn two on the second circuit and dropped back to sixth place as Lynch cruised to a big lead with Bob Daugherty and Frank Oriti charging for second. Moore who was fast timer had gather himself back together to get back by Brandon Craver and Oriti and took on Daugherty for second . As the laps wound down, Lynch started to fade as Daugherty closed in with Moore in pursuit of the two front runners. Daugherty took over the point with three laps to go with Mansfield's Moore with his Moore's Auto Sales, Hall's Auto Sales #2* using the highside to pass. As the two came out of turn four for the checkered flag, sparks came shooting out of Daugherty's rear housing and Moore nipped him at the line for the win. Lynch held on to third with Craver, last years track champion in fourth as Oriti claimed fifth.

Bruce Miller led the opening three laps of the NAPA Auto Parts Modified race with Chris Basich in second until he rammed a retaining tire in turn one on the second lap to send himself to the tail of the field, Danville's Nathan Loney would squeeze by Miller on lap four and never look back aboard the Rich's Body Shop and The Hangout Bar & Grill #10 for the win, Basich would work his way back through the field and take second from Miller with five to go and Eric Singhaus moved past Miller on the last lap for third with Miller finishing fourth ahead of Jim Nicely.

Team cars of Jordan James and Gary Hensel Jr. went door handle to door handle for the first lap when Hensel Jr. broke a ball joint in turn two to end his night. James would cruise away for the apparent win but was DQ'ed in post race inspection giving the win to Wooster's Brad Hensel's Bargain Shed and DJ Directional Services #28. Mike Rose, Mitch Reichard, Lester Berry and Adam Kern trailed Hensel.

Zanesville's Tanner McLoughlin and his 2 Brothers Motorsports #59 won the Mini Wedge main over Logan Duncan.

Another regular show is set for next Friday, May 3rd at NAPA WCS with first race set to go green at 7:45 pm.

Buckeye 50 featuring WoO Cancelled for April 13th

Saturated Grounds Force Postponement Of Saturday's WoO Late Model Series Buckeye 50 At NAPA Wayne County Speedway

With Heavy Mid-Week Rain Dooming Saturday's Show, National Tour's Visit To Ohio Track Reset For Fri., May 24

By Kevin Kovac, WoO LMS P.R. Director

ORRVILLE, OH – April 11, 2013 – Heavy mid-week rain has saturated the grounds of NAPA Auto Parts Wayne County Speedway, forcing the postponement of the World of Outlaws Late Model Series 'Buckeye 50' scheduled for Saturday night (April 13).

Track and series officials made the announcement on Thursday morning, two days after jointly deciding to condense this weekend's scheduled multi-day Buckeye 100 into a single evening of competition on Saturday due to forecasts of unfavorable weather conditions.

The Buckeye 50 has been rescheduled for Fri., May 24, preserving the only scheduled WoO LMS event in the state of Ohio in 2013.

WCS's hopes of running a $10,000-to-win WoO LMS event on Saturday night were effectively doomed after severe storms rolled over the three-eighths-mile track on Wednesday, dumping two inches of rain on grounds that still hadn't completely dried out following a long winter and wet early spring. With more thunderstorms on Thursday expected to add an inch or more of rain and cool, damp weather forecast for Friday, WCS co-promoters Jason and Kristin Flory determined that the facility simply wouldn't be ready to host a racing program on Saturday night.

"We were hoping to salvage a single night of World of Outlaws Late Model Series racing this weekend," said Jason Flory, who is starting his second full season of promoting the venerable track with his wife. "But we knew that if we had at least an inch of rain this week we'd be in trouble – and we got more than an inch on Wednesday and have even more coming today.

"We think the track and pit area would probably be O.K. on Saturday, but the rest of the grounds are just too wet and soft from all the rain. There's just no way the parking areas will dry sufficiently by Saturday to allow us to get all the fans and race teams in-and-out in a reasonable manner, so we decided that we had no choice but to postpone Saturday's Buckeye 50."

Flory was able to arrange a new date for the Buckeye 50, however, inking a WoO LMS program for Fri., May 24. The 50-lap, $10,000-to-win show will combine with the wingless Buckeye Outlaw Sprint Series event previously scheduled for that date at WCS to create a blockbuster holiday-weekend doubleheader.

The May 24 event will mark the second straight season that the WoO LMS kicks off the Memorial Day weekend at WCS. The tour will move on to Tyler County Speedway in Middlebourne, W.Va., on May 25-26 for the Bullring Bonanza doubleheader.

Track and series officials also said that plans are in the works to run a Buckeye 100 weekend in 2014. Dates for the inaugural event will be released later this year.

Fans who bought two-day passes for the Buckeye 100 weekend in advance will be refunded the difference between their purchase price and the cost of a General Admission ticket on May 24. For additional information visit www.waynecountyspeedway.com; call Jason or Kristin Flory at 330-465-2365; or email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. .

The next action for the WoO LMS will be a doubleheader weekend in North Carolina, on April 19 at Fayetteville Motor Speedway and April 20 at 311 Motor Speedway in Pine Hall.

The World of Outlaws Late Model Series is brought to fans across the country by many important sponsors and partners, including: American Racing Custom Wheels (Official Custom Wheel), Arizona Sport Shirts (Official Apparel Company), Armor All (Official Car Care Products), Hoosier Racing Tires (Official Racing Tires), KMC (Official Custom Truck Wheel), STP (Official Fuel Treatment), Vicci (Official Uniform), VP Racing Fuel (Official Racing Fuel), DirtonDirt.com (Hard Charger Award) and McCarthy's One Hour Heating & Air Conditioning (Raye Vest Memorial Pill Draw Award); in addition to contingency sponsors: Butlerbuilt, Cometic Gasket, Comp Cams, Dominator Race Products, Edelbrock, Eibach Springs, JE Pistons, JRI Shocks, Klotz Synthetic Lubricants, MSD Ignition, Ohlins Shocks, QuarterMaster, Roush Yates Performance Parts, Superflow Dynos, Wrisco Aluminum and XS Power Racing Batteries; along with manufacturer sponsors Capital Race Cars, Integra Shocks, GRT Chassis, Jake's Carts, Racing Electronics, Rocket Chassis, TNT Rescue, and Warrior Chassis.
