Kramer Tops AMS Mod Squad Bash/Thompson Wins Bob Jones Memorial at Bluegrass Speedway
Bardstown, KY-June 4, 2011- A pair of special event would be on tap on Bluegrass Speedway on Saturday evening as the American Modified Series would visit for the 11th Annual Mod Squad Bash and Joey Kramer of Hanover, IN would pick up the $1,500 payday and his third win in the event. Avral Thompson of Loretto, KY would score a $500 payday in the Clayton Homes of Stanford UMP Sportsman division by winning the 2nd Annual Bob Jones Memorial race. Other feature event winners for the evening included Lee Devasier of Crestwood, KY in 44 Auto Mart Super Late Models and Mike Bailey of Clarksville, IN in UMP Street Stocks.
Joey Kramer would take the lead from Shelby Miles with a turn four slidejob pass and proceed to put on a dominating performance to score the 11th Annual Mod Squad Bash event for the American Modified Series. Kramer would pick up the win and take the series points lead by seeing the checkered flag first aboard the Claudette Kramer owned Hill’s Historic Painting/ Lucas Oil Products/Ground Works Landscaping/State Farm Insurance/Larry’s Truck and Trailer Service/Bright Beginnings Child Care sponsored #77 MasterSbilt Race Cars, Bullock Race Engines powered entry. Michael England would come in second, followed by John Demoss in third. Bryan Barber and Benji Lee would complete the top five. The remainder of the top ten would be J.T. Ayers, Josh Lucas, Trent Young, Rob Penny, and Keith Smith. In preliminary action, Lee would be the top qualifier among 21 entries at 17.283 seconds, while heat race victories would go to Miles, Ayers, Demoss, and Barber.
Avral Thompson would make a three-wide pass for the lead on the opening circuit of the 20 lap, 2nd Annual Bob Jones Memorial event for the Clayton Homes UMP Sportsman and would fend off a late race challenge from Robbie Settles to pick up the victory. Thompson’s win would come behind the wheel of the Avral and Kayla Thompson owned Hawk’s Place/Cozy Corner/Thompson Heat and Air/High Grove Grocery/Cox Wrecker Service/Teamsters Local 89 sponsored #44 Chevy Malibu. Settles would take second, while Jimmy Bryan, Sam Mull, and Mike Opall would complete the top five. In preliminary action, Settles and Thompson would tie for fast time honors among 12 entries at 19.197 seconds. Logan Whitis would win the dash, while Derek Bottoms would take the heat race win.
In 44 Auto Mart Super Late Model action, Joey Daniel would lead the first 15 laps until a caution for Tim Tungate would bunch the field together and Tim Rivers would slidejob past Daniel for the lead on the restart, only to go spinning wildly in the infield on the backchute. Track officials deemed Daniel at fault and he would be required to restart at the rear of the field, handing the lead over to Rivers. Lee Devasier would dog Rivers after the restart and make an outside pass of Rivers off of turn four on lap 22 and hold on for his first-ever Super Late Model feature event win aboard the John Devasier owned Commercial Fleet Repair/CAK Trucking sponsored #5 Rocket Chassis, Ofria Race Engines powered mount. Rivers would finish second, while Jeff Watson would claim a third place finish. Daniel would drive back from the rear of the field to finish fourth, while Rob Starkey completed the top five. In preliminary action, Watson would be the top qualifier among nine entries at 15.781 seconds, while Daniel would win the heat.
The UMP Street Stock feature event would be a dogfight over the final 6 laps, with Mike Bailey eventually coming out on top after blowing the engine in his car in the heat and climbing behind the wheel of the Carl Booth owned Pace Air Freight/Whelan Trucking sponsored #31B Oldsmobile. Garnett Eldridge would finish a close second, with Mark Filiatreau close by in third, while Joe Walker and Scott Beeler completed the top five. In preliminary action, 11 entries would see heat race victories go to Filiatreau and Eldridge.
