Boyds speedway results 5-20-2011
With last weeks races cancelled due to the rain showers that moved over the area, it gave each of the competitors a extra week to prepare for the nights events. The cars were prepared the drivers were ready, but no one expected what would be next. As summer approaches the temperature are rising and the races also begin to heat up. The nights events started out with qualifying heats in each division. First out would bring the B-Hobby division to the racing surface with Dallas Brooks and Patrick Wilson (making his first appearance of the year) taking their heat victories respectfully. In the Crate Late Model Jerry Coffman and Jeff Smith showed the way to the checkered flag. In A-Hobby Booger Brooks would gain the pole starting position for the nights feature along side newcomer to Boyds Speedway Delbert Haynes. The Steel Headed Late Models would be split up into three heats due to the large car count. Another first timer would gain his front row starting position as Spencer Singleton would take the victory in heat 1. In heat 2 Todd Morrow piloting a Richard Austin Trucking entry would take the victory and in the last heat Rick Hixson wouldn't be outdone by also taking his heat victory. The last of the heats would bring the FWD's to compete as Matt Patton and Tommy Hughes showed the way.
The nights first feature would bring the B-Hobby to the 1/3 mile racing surface. And what started out to be a rough and rugged road to the end finished that way. With Dallas Brooks and Patrick Wilson leading the way it didn't take long for the yellow flag to fly as a lap 1 caution for Ronnie Brooks. A race that continued to be caution after caution finally ended with a green/white/checkered as Patrick Wilson took the victory followed by Brandon Francis. The Crate Late Models were up next with Coffman and Smith leading the way. Multi-feature winner Jason Welshan would start on the second row along side Defending Crate Late Model Champion Craig Burrows. But as the race got underway a large crash in turn 4 would bring out the red flag as 7 cars were pilled up with no place to go ending the night early for Brian Courtney and Craig Burrows and leaving several other with heavy sheet-metal damage. When racing finally got back underway Jeff Smith seemed to have everything under control, but the race behind him was one of the best seen all year. As Jerry Coffman and Jason Welshan put on a show for the fans and had everyone on their feet. Coffman had committed to run the top and Welshan rode the bottom, lap after lap they raced side-by-side with Coffman taking the runner-up spot to Jeff Smith. With Smith's victory it broke a win steak that Welshan was building on. Welshan would settle for third followed by Andy Miller and Kayne Hickman. The A-Hobby's were up next and somebody should have told us all to hold our breath. With Booger Brooks and Delbert Haynes leading the full field to the green, Haynes would take the early lead followed closely by Brooks. Behind them Jordan Rodabaugh and Blake Armitage were battling their way to the front. On lap 8 Armitage got around Rodabaugh and set his sights on Brooks in second. They both swapped position on lap 8 and 9 and then there was lap 10. Lets just say they weren't happy with each other after a caution was called on Brooks for spinning Armitage. They would both be DQ'D for the evening and sent to the pits to cool down. Needless to say that didn't happen and what happened next is still unclear. But what was clear was that Delbert Haynes had taken a hard fought victory over Jordan Roadabaugh, Steve Tate, Larry Higgins and Gene Hulgan, Jr. The feature event for the steel headed late models was up next with Spencer Singleton and Todd Morrow leading the way. Todd Morrow would jump out early and lead every lap. Morrow was followed by Rick Hixson, Lamar Scoggins (also in a Hixson Motorsport racing machine), Bobby Mayse and Jamie Perry. The last feature of the night would see Matt Patton take another FWD victory over Thomas Gilbert, Richard Hickman, Daniel Burnette and Hailey Cresswell.
The night had brought about some great racing in each division for the fans and in the pits lets just say some unsportsmanlike activities. And as the racing world would say it aint over yet. Next week the S.R.R.S. Super Late Models invade the 1/3 mile clay oval for the second time this year for the top prize of $3000. Come early and get a good seat, who knows what will happen next, but i do know some great racing will be seen.
