[Cincy Mod Championship]

Tolson and Ayers claim CMC wins.
The U.S. Race Gear Cincinnati Modified Championship presented by Gabbard's Mt. Orab Ford would see weather wipe out races at Moler Raceway Park and Brushcreek Motorsports Complex this past weekend. Races at Lawrenceburg and Florence Speedway would produce new winners for this season in the CMC.

At Florence Speedway “Big Daddy” Shawn Tolson of Walton, KY started in the 2nd row inside and settled into 3rd behind front row starters of Jimmy Lennox, Jr. and 2011 CMC Champion Matt Hamilton. The race stayed that way for the first (5) laps when Lennox got by Hamilton on lap (6). Tolson would get by Hamilton on lap (10) and set his sights on the race leader. Tolson quickly disposed of Lennox (2) laps later and would close out the final (9) laps. The victory was Tolson's 1st of 2012 ans his 3rd career CMC victory. It would be the 2nd CMC win of the year for Diamond Race Cars and a leading 30th win overall. The Shawn & Tracy Tolson owned Diamond Chassis/BES Racing Engines entry is sponsored by Auto Masters, J-MAR Concrete, Valvoline, R & B Motorsports, and Moreland’s One Stop Race Shop. Finishing 2nd was Lennox while Elliott Despain would finish 3rd.
At Lawrenceburg Speedway New Haven, Ky’s JT Ayers started in the 6th position and had moved into the top 3 within a few laps. Up front, Devin Gilpin would start from the pole and pull away until mechanical failure on lap 8 ended his race while he was leading. That turned the lead over to defending Budweiser UMP Modified Track Champ Derek Groomer who was looking for his 8 win in the last 10 races at Lawrenceburg. Behind Groomer, eyes were on Greensburg, Ky native Bryan Barber who started 11th and was moving his way to the front. On lap 19, Barber made the move underneath Groomer and took the lead. As the white flag flew, Groomer dove to the bottom in turn 1 and slid up into Barber. Both cars were too damaged to continue. That turned the lead over to Ayers who only had to lead 1 lap, the most important one to pick up his first win at Lawrenceburg. Billy Meredith who started 18th finished 2nd followed by Scotty Kincaid. It was Ayers 1st career CMC win and the second of the season for Bandit Race Cars.

Five Features are slated to take place this weekend in the CMC. Moler Raceway Park on Friday Night while Saturday Night will see 2 features at Lawrenceburg as they make up a feature cancelled by rain as well as a regular show. Florenc Speedway will be in action again as Brushcreek will try once again to get their season underway.
