L&M Performance Night at Moler Raceway Park!!
6-3-11 - Williamsburg, OH - It was an exciting night of racing at Moler Raceway Park with $1500 going to the winner of the Sunesis Construction Late Model Division. In heat race action it was Rick Combs in the A Hines Racing Engines machine winning heat race #1 with “The Sniper†Wayne Chinn winning heat race number two. In the feature it was a battle between Combs and Chinn up front with Barry Doss and Lil' John Whitney battling for third position through lap ten. At lap ten Whitney found a fast line on the bottom and worked his way past Chinn for second and then on lap 17 Combs had problems which allowed Whitney to take over the top spot and set sail for what looked like an easy win. With about 5 laps to go Whitney appeared to be in trouble as Chad Stapleton was charging through the field and pressuring Whitney for the top spot. Stapleton tried a Bonsai move going into turn 3 on the final lap but Whitney was able to hang on and take his first win of the season. The Middletown, Ohio driver with support from Stephan Heating & Cooling and Amaze-A-Stitch Embroidery took the win and was followed across the line by Stapleton, Chinn, Barry Doss, and Jim Price. Lil' John Whitney was first ever Feature Winner at MRP and 1st Late Model Track Champion 2007. Lil' John Whitney as well as his Father John Whitney both won Track Championships at Brown County Speedway with Moler Racing.
In Mt Orab Ford Modifieds there was a field of 24 cars on hand and Doug Adkins, Weasel Rhoades, and Devin Gilpin took the heat race wins while Cory Skipton won the B-Main event. In the feature it was Adkins out front at the start with Rhoades, Gilpin, and Ray Branscum battling for the second position. On lap 14 Gilpin took over second spot. On a restart Adkins had a flat tire which allowed Gilpin and Branscum to take over the top two positions. From there it was all Gilpin as he went on to collect his second straight modified feature in his Impressive Race Car, Mike Shell Racing Engines, Dasco Race Supply machine. Branscum was second followed by Rhoades, Randy Wash and Dave McWilliams.
In the Big Red Book Street Stock division it was Laurellville, Ohio’s Jamey Adams and Maysville, KY’s Jeremie Bretz taking heat race victories and setting the line-up for the feature event. At the green flag it was all Jamey Adams in his Helterbran Trucking, Adams Chassis machine as he led wire-to-wire to claim his first victory of the season. The exciting race was the battle for second between Bretz and Bill Crabtree as they ran side by side for the final half of the race. Crabtree would win that battle and come home second followed by Bretz, Bub Balsely and Shannon Enoch in the top five.
In the Holman Motors Chevette division it was again a battle between Miles Tarvin and Rusty Yarger. It looked as though Yarger was going to win his second feature event of the season but with five laps to go Tarvin would drive by on the outside to claim his second victory in the Lykins Oil, P&G Farms, Paul Brath Farms sponsored machine. Yarger took second followed by Scott Ramp, Kevin Riggs and Derick Davis.
In addition to the regular racing action the Vintage American Race Cars made their annual appearance at MRP. The VARC group is a non-profit organization who finds and restores old race cars and brings them out to race tracks and shows them off and puts on racing exhibition. At the end of the night it was Sinking Springs, Ohio’s John Lawhorn taking the victory in his 1969 USAC Silver Crown car.
In an attempt to thank Mathew 25 Ministries for helping those in need in The U.S., MRP did a helmet drive in which the fans and racers donated $500 to the cause. MRP matched 1/2 of that bringing the total to $750. Thanks to Matthew 25 Ministries and all they do for those in need in the U.S.
Also our thoughts and prayers go out to Local Brown County Hero Seth Blevins and his family. Seth, an Eastern High School Graduate, only 23 years old lost his life fighting for our Country in Afghanistan. Thanks to all our Military for all they do. Freedom is NOT FREE!!! "Some Gave All"!!
