Orrville Ohio

Some of the best racing of the season took place during night 2 of the Ohio Dirt Blowout presented by the Kar Connection at NAPA Jani Auto Parts Wayne County Speedway with Andrew Palker driving away once he got the lead to claim his second Ohio Valley Sprint Car Association win at WCS while Jason Dolick would collect the Series’ crown. Doug Drown would follow night one’s act by winning both the Kar Connection Super Late Model and CorBon Super Stock features. The ‘Outlaw’ Jesse Wisecarver mastered the Modified main with Brad Hensel squeezing out his second WQKT 104.5 Mini Stock win of the week end.
Nick Patterson would grab the lead of the Pine Tree Towing & Recovery Sprint feature from the outside front row but action would come to stop on the end of lap two when Jake Hesson took a hard flip high into the catch fence in turn four. He would walk away ok. When the action went back to green, Patterson continued with the lead as Jamie Myers, Tracy Hines and West Salem’s Andrew Palker in tow. Palker would blow by Myers and Hines down the backstretch on lap six and on the next circuit, Patterson would slip way high in turn four and Palker would motor by for the lead. On the next lap around, Patterson would spin in turn four which would start a series of yellow flags the next three laps for different drivers. The next eight laps went green as Palker and his El Campesino Restaurent, Albrecht Trucking and Graber Racing Products #57x, left the field in his wake while Myers and Hines went back and forth for second as Danny Mumaw pulled into 4th and Jordan Ryan and Trey Jacobs battled for fifth. A debris on the track caution on lap 18 stacked the field together for one last time, but Palker would set sail on the restart. Mumaw would power past Myers and Hines for second as they went down the backstretch on the restart but could not catch up to Palker. Jordan Ryan would move into 4th past Myers on lap 21 and then into third when Hines pulled into the infield two circuits later. Myers would finish up 4th with Trey Jacobs finishing out the top five. Ryan, Hesson and Palker posted the heat wins. Going into the night, Jason Dolick trailed Dave Dickson by three points for the OVSCA title and with his 9th place finish combined with Dickson’s 16th finishing position, Dolick claimed the title.
The Kar Connection Super Late Model main started with Charlie Duncan and Ryan Markham on the front row and Duncan would lay claim to the lead with Wooster’s Doug Drown grabbing third. In the early running, those three would not be more than two car lengths apart with Duncan out front for the first ten laps. At that time, lapped traffic came into play and when Duncan hesitated for a second going into turn three, Markham jumped past Duncan for the top spot. Drown would power past Duncan for second coming out of turn two on lap 13. The yellow would wave on lap 16 that would set up a wild finish between Markham and Drown. Markham used the high groove while Drown ran low in turns one and two and both stayed low in three and four until there was four to go when Drown took his Ely Road Motors, D J Directional Services and McDonald’s #12 to the high side of turn 3 and 4. As the two came down the front stretch, Drown went to the inside of Markham’s #5m and they touched and somehow did not wreck as both had to check up for a split second to get straightened back up and Drown was the quicker to do that and take the lead. A final caution on the last lap would give Markham a last chance to get the win but came up short to Drown. Corey Conley would edge past Duncan with five to go for third and at the same time, Mitch Caskey, the winner of the NEW race on Friday, got past Brad Malcuit for fifth. Caskey also was the winner of the Accu Force Hard Charger award as he moved up five places in the feature. Heat wins were claimed by Conley and Markham.
For the second night in a row, and third time this season, Doug Drown would take the Bob Daugherty owned, Char’s Car, K & A Tree Service and Rick’s Hauling #21d into the Summit Racing victory lane, giving him four wins during the ODB weekend. This CorBon Super Stock feature would not be easy though as Paul Holmes would work his way into second on lap 6, taking it away from Gary Hensel Jr. Running the high side in turns one and two, Holmes made a couple of runs and was able to pull alongside Drown, but never could edge past for the lead as Drown had an answer for each one of Holmes’ attempts. Hensel Jr. finished up third while Dustin Daugherty and Tyler Nicely filled out the top five. Hensel Jr. and Holmes won the heat races. With his 4th place finish, Daugherty wins the Aamco Transmission Super Stock “Summer Series” followed by Brandon Craver and Gary Hensel Jr.
The first ten laps of the Modified feature went nice and smooth with Scott Peltz leading the way for the first four laps before Nathan Loney took over. Zanesville’s Jesse Wisecarver overtook Loney down the back stretch on the next lap to lead lap 11 and then a caution would slow the action. On the restart, drivers were guilty of guilty of getting on the gas to soon and the field had to try it again. As they came out of turn four this time, a lot of contact was made that sent Loney into a retaining tire as third place Kyle Brown and John Disbennentt were involved also, ending all three of their nights. As the race went back to green, Wisecaver and his Denny’s, Slagle Auto Electric and SDP #101 would drive away from the field to collect his first win at leave Brad Goff and Kyle Moore to duel for second with Goff winning the battle. Peltz would hang on for fourth with Bob Moskey scoring a fifth place finish. Wisecarver and Loney were the best in the heat races.
Jordan James took the lead of the WQKT 104.5 Mini Stock main from the pole and was quickly challenged by Brad Hensel for the lead on lap two. They went side by side, lap after lap and always less than a car length apart all the way to the finish as they changed the lead several time although James was credited with the lead the first 10 times they crossed the finish line as Dale Beckett was right behind them in third. Hensel, of Smithville, inched ahead as the white flag waved and then won by less than a car length over James to put the D J Directional Services, JoyRide Transport and NewFast Racing #28 into victory lane for the second night in a row. Following James and Beckett across the finish line were Wes Staley and Gary Hensel Jr. Best in the heats were Stephen Crowe, Kevin Markey, James and Hensel while Kenny Long and Dustin Bedlion topped the last chance races. With his feature win, Brad Hensel won the Mini Stock “Summer Series” over James and Bedlion.
The next event for ‘Orrville’s Historic Oval’ will be the Awards Banquet on November 17th at the Pines Golf Course. Go to the website at www.waynecountyspeedway.com for more information.

DROWN DOUBLES DOWN IN NIGHT 1 OF WAYNE COUNTY SPEEDWAY’S OHIO DIRT BLOWOUT; CASKEY CASHES IN ‘NEW’ WIN; GOFF & HENSEL’S LATE MOVES NETS WINS
Orrville, Ohio
Friday, September 21, 2018

Mother Nature used a super soaker of a brief storm right at 5 pm and it would delay the opening night of NAPA Jani Auto Parts Wayne County Speedway for a little over an hour start time for the 6th annual Ohio Dirt Blowout presented by the Kar Connection. With the delay to just past 8 pm, all the races would drop in the number of laps raced and that would intensify the action on the track. Ben Mott would grab the early lead of the Kar Connection Super Late Model feature from the pole with Brad Malcuit taking second from his 4th starting spot with Wooster’s Doug Drown moving into third on the second lap from his 7th starting grid position. As Mott and Malcuit battled for the lead, Drown reeled them in and overtook Malcuit for second on lap 6 and then powered past Mott two circuits later to take the point. Two cautions the next two laps would keep the field bunched together and then Ryan Markham would slip past Malcuit for third on the lap nine restart. Those two would flip flop the third spot for a couple of laps and then Markham would blow by Malcuit and Mott for second on lap 12. Drown and his Ely Road Motors, Wooster Glass and Hall’s Auto Sales #12 had built up a big lead, but a caution on lap 16 would once again group the field together for the final two laps. Drown would edge away from Markham the last two rounds to post the win with Mott holding off Malcuit for third with Mitch Caskey filling out the top five. Rocky Owens posted the last chance win as heat wins went to Craig Hartong, Drown, Malcuit and Caskey. Nate Potts collected the Accu Force Hard Charger award as he started 20th and improved 9 places, up to the 11th finishing position.
The Never Ever Won (NEW) starting line up would be determined by how the drivers finished in the regular feature so that would put Ben Mott on the pole with Mitch Caskey along side as 18 drivers took the green flag looking for their first feature win. Mott would set the pace for the opening 6 circuits with Caskey in pursuit as Ken Hahn and T J Watson dueled for third. Using the high groove, Caskey shot by Mott on lap 7 and began to distance himself from the field aboard the Orrville based, Dan Weaver Trucking and Coblentz Trucking #43. A caution with two to go would not stop Caskey’s run to his first checker flag but allowed Watson to motor past Mott for second. Jeremy Blake’s machine found traction the last half of the race as he was 7th with seven to go and took fourth at the finish. Hahn would settle for fifth.
For the second time this season, Doug Drown would set in the driver’s seat of the Bob Daugherty owned, Char’s Cars, McKenzie Concrete and Gionino’s Pizza #21d and take it to the Summit Racing victory lane. Gary Hensel Jr. would lead the way from the pole for the opening 4 laps with Drown and T A Perrine in hot pursuit. Drown used the low groove as Hensel Jr. used the high side of the 3/8 mile oval with Drown taking over for good on lap 5. On the next lap, Perrine would try to take second from Hensel Jr. but would do a 360 spin in turn four and get charged for the caution and go to the tail. As the final laps clicked off, Drown would claim his second win of the night and his second CorBon Super Stock win of the year. Hensel Jr. held on to second as Perrine came roaring back to grab third as Trae Schonauer scored a season best fourth and Chris Albright recorded another fifth. Drown and Perrine notched the heat wins.
A pair of #41’s would lead all of the laps in the Modified main event as Kyle Brown and Brad Goff of Zanesville would be the front runners with Kyle Moore in the early laps of the race in the mix. Those three were tightly bound together until lap eight when Moore got into the back of Goff’s car, wrinkling the right rear fender, but doing heavy front end damage to Moore’s machine, causing him to spin on the next lap. Brown would be out front for one more lap after the restart as Goff would power past Brown and take the win. During the last two laps, Brown would fade as Larry Kugel and Bob Page would power past and take second and third as Moore battled back for fourth with Brown hanging on to fifth. Goff and Moore scored the heat wins.
It seemed like all season long it was a Staley or a Hensel in victory lane for the WQKT 104.5 Mini Stocks and Friday night was no different with Wes Staley getting the lead from the pole position with Smithville’s Brad Hensel in his tire tracks. Gary Hensel Jr and Mike Rose were not far behind until Rose’s left front tire decided to unconnect from the car, ending his night on lap 6. On the double file restart, Staley and Hensel would exchange some paint a couple of times with Hensel edging into the lead as Bri Hensel, who started 17th after winning the first last chance race climbed into fourth. With the checkered flag up in the air, Brad Hensel crossed the finish line by a 1/4 of a car length over Staley. Hensel Jr. was third with Bri Hensel taking fourth and Eugene Arkenburgh rounding out the top five. This would be Brad Hensel’s fifth win of the season in the JoyRide Transport, D J Directional Services and NewFast Racing #28. Heat winners were Rose, Wes Staley, Brad Hensel and Jordan James as Clayton Evans won the second last chance race.
