Gilpin, Barber and Groomer take CMC Features.
The U.S. Race Gear Cincinnati Modified Championship presented by Gabbard's Mt. Orab Ford would see terrible weather blanket the area for the weekend. Yet somehow 3 of the the scheduled 4 races would be completed. Brushcreeks Motorsprorts complex would get hit hardest with the weather and would have to postpone the opener to May 5th.

Moler Raceway Park would just barely get their show in on Friday Night as rain would start to fall during the feature event. Devin Gilpin would take the lead from Jeremie Bretz and battle through the rain for his 4th Moler CMC victory this season in as many tries. Bretz would come home 2nd with current CMC point leader and Coyote race car builder Dustin Webber finishing 3rd. It would be career CMC win number 17 for Gilpin and would tie him at the top of the all-time win list with Matt Hamilton. Gilpin will go for 5 in a row this coming Friday.

On Saturday Night at Florence Speedway Bryan Barber would make his first CMC appearance of the season a winning one. The Bandit Race car builder would dominate the feature in one of his own cars. He would be followed by Larry Pickelheimer Jr and David McWiiliams. Barber, the 2011 AMS Modified Series Champion picked up CMC career win number 4 in what has been very few appearances. It would be the 5th CMC win for Bandit Chassis overall. Florence is back in action with Armed Forces Night on Saturday.

Lawrenceburg Speedway would celebrate their opener on Saturday Night and it would go the way most of last season went. Derek Groomer would grab the lead and looked like he would sail to victory. Sean Johnson would have something to say about that though and would grab the lead on lap 8. Groomer would slide back to the lead on the following lap and never let his guard down again as Johnson would finish 2nd. Devin Gilpin would charge from 14th to finish 3rd. His 4 previous appearances in the CMC this year all resulted in wins. Groomer would become the 4th Indiana driver to claim victory in the CMC this year in the season first event in the Hoosier State. Lawrenceburg is back in action this Saturday as Nascar driver Ken Schrader will be taking on the CMC modified drivers.
