Freedom Fighters 50 goes to Banal; Stambaugh, Anderson, Britton and Wantz winners at Wayne County Speedway

By Ryan Pearson

Orrville, Ohio-The action at Wayne County Speedway was non stop Saturday night from a car giveaway to door handle to door handle three wide racing. Richard Horn of Wooster, Ohio had the lucky ticket and got to drive home in a 1987 convertible Corvette. For the first time in nearly a month Mother Nature shined down on a packed grandstand and pits full of race cars. And she was treated to a great show.

The Freedom Fighters 50 is the salute to our public safety officials who risk their lives everyday serving our country. It got started with Scotty Peltz leading the stout field of American Payroll Advance Super Late Models to the green flag. It was short lived as Millersburg Ohio’s Keith Berner took the early lead. The caution flag flew on lap 3 for a Thomas Baker spinout. When the racing resumed the top three cars of Berner, Peltz and George Lee remained the same, but through the field the racing was intense. Fifteenth starting Mark Banal was up to ninth place. At the front of the pack Berner pulled away from the field; but another caution on lap 14 for the cars of Baker and Mark Bellamy getting together. Lap 14 found Banal up to sixth place and hard charging for more. The green flag dropped and Berner took off like a rocket, but another caution flew on lap 17 for Chet Alexander stopping with a flat tire. Banal had moved up to second place before the caution flag flew and seventh starting Ryan Markham had moved to third. When the green flag dropped Banal didn’t waste anytime attempting to make a move on Berner. Banal hooked the high side and blew past Berner. Berner didn’t give up as he shoved the nose under Banal every lap. The leaders hit lapped traffic on lap 28. On lap 32 Banal slipped high and Berner darted by. On lap 35 Banal changed lines and zipped underneath Berner coming off of turn 4. Banal had to with stand a couple of late race assaults by Berner as he could pull along side Banal, just couldn’t compete the pass. Banal was the first to the checkered flag. He was followed by Berner, Markham, Doug Drown, 12^th starting Shane McLoughlin, Scotty Peltz, Dave Hornikel, Eric ‘Spud’ Myers and JR Gentry. Markham, Drown and Hornikel won heat races and Peltz won the dash. Myers set fast time and Charlie Duncan won the Consolation race.

In the RPM Motorsports Modified division it was a nine car Talladega like pileup on the opening lap that brought the field to the a red flag. The track was cleared and the green flag would drop. Rob Stambaugh jumped to the point and wouldn’t look back. Mike Lonas would hound Stambaugh every lap, it wouldn’t be enough as Stambaugh took the checkered flag. He was followed by Lonas, Matt Shroyer, Took Wiles and Bruce Miller. Heat race winners were Rory Reed and Rocky Kugel. Shroyer won the Dash and Larry Kugel won the Consolation race.

In the Thrifty Discount Muffler Pure Stock division it was Rick Frame taking the early lead. Last weeks feature winner didn’t waste anytime as he powered past Frame to take the lead. It was all Anderson as he bested Fred Snyder who finished second. He was followed by Tim Myers, Rich Frame and Travis Mensching. Frame was the dash winner. Jose Marsh and Jim Nicely took the heat race wins. Paul Holmes won the Consolation race.

In the Federated Auto Parts Mini Stocks it was Neil Nisly taking the early lead. He would reluctantly hand over the top spot to Henry Britton. Britton would take advantage and run from the filed. Jeff Theil would make a late race charge but came up a little short. At the line it was Britton, Jeff Theil, Nisly, Dale Beckett, Jr. and rounding out the top five is Josh Robinson. Heat race winners were Charlie Ray and Mitch Reichard. Nisly won the Dash.

The 2005 WCS faster pastor grand finale was also on tap. The round winners squared off against each other with the winner crowned the Fastest Pastor. Pastor Glen Coblentz would take the early lead. He was hounded by Pastor Doug Wantz lap after lap. Wantz or Coblentz wouldn’t budge. With a daring late race barrage Wantz snuck by Coblentz for the lead to take the checkered flag. He was followed by Pastor Coblentz, Pastor Mark Sarver, Pastor Bryan Phillips, Pastor Bryan Miller and Pastor Matt Phillips.

WCS again ends with a bang as the racing program concludes all scheduled racing until next spring. WCS is located nine miles east of Wooster, OH or 15 miles west of Massillon, OH on US Route 30 then one mile north on Carr Road.

Markham has 6 feature wins for 2005 and has slightly closed the gap to the top spot the last several weeks. Sitting third with one feature win for 2005 is Fredricksburg native Dave Wirt. A couple of weeks ago Wirt sustained heavy damage to his rocket chassis. In the fourth position is George Lee, Lee has finished 6^th twice out of the last three weeks.

Markham, Brown, Anderson and Britton victorious at Wayne County Speedway

By Ryan Pearson

Orrville, Ohio-Wayne County Speedway opened the gates and treated the packed grandstand of fans to a night of exciting racing for fan appreciation night. The racing was sponsored by Federated Auto Parts and WQKT 104.5 FM ‘Sports Country’.

In the American Payroll Advance Super Late Model division it was Doug Drown jumping out to the early lead. The caution flew on lap four; Dave Wirt took a tumble over the guardrail in turn 3 rolling the Rocket chassis twice. He was uninjured. On the restart Drown jumped out front with Ryan Markham, Brad Malcuit and ninth starting Matt Lux in tow. Drown pulled away from Markham but his lead was erased, as he started picking his way through lapped traffic when another caution flew on lap 16 for Clint Coffman who had stopped on the track. When the green flag again waved Markham pressured Drown on the high side of the racetrack. He hung the Rocket chassis on the edge where he competed the pass on lap 17. Drown then battled back on the bottom of the race track. Both race cars ran door handle to door handle, trading paint on a few occasions. The caution flag would wave on lap 23 for Randy Scott, George Lee and DJ Miller. All three would return to the pits, with Scott racecar sustaining heavy front end damage from hitting the guardrail on the front straightaway. It was all Markham the rest of the way. He was followed by Drown, Malcuit, Lux and Alexander rounded out the top five. Heat race wins went to Alexander, Coffman and the Dash win went to Drown. Wirt set fast time.

It was the third week in a row that and sixth time total that Markham placed the Park Ohio, Advance Cylinder, Biscottis Restaurant, Stu's Place, J & D Door Company, Bert Transmission; Malcuit powered Rocket Chassis in victory lane.

“It took my Rocket chassis a little to come in there, but when it did she was gone” stated an ecstatic Markham after the races.

In the RPM Motorsports division Kyle Brown jumped out to the early lead. The yellow flag would fly on the first lap for Cory Camillo who lost the handle in turn 2. On the restart Brown would bolt to the lead. He would receive a heavy assault from Rob Stambaugh. Stambaugh would look to the outside of Brown then dive to the inside trying all he could to make the pass. Another caution would wave on lap 11 for a massive pile up in turn two. Once cleared up, the green flag waved and again Brown zipped out front. Stambaugh wouldn’t give up as he continued to hound Brown. It just wasn’t enough as Brown came home the winner. He was followed by Stambaugh, Matt Shroyer, Bruce Miller and Took Wiles. Heat race winners were Jay Howe and Miller and winning the dash was Brown. Setting fast time was Wiles.

In the Thrifty Discount Muffler Pure Stocks it was Fred Snyder blitzing to the lead. He would hold off a fierce onslaught from Tim Myers and Troy Anderson for several laps. But a cut tire would force Snyder to slip back some and contact between another car resulted in Snyder spinning out in turn 3 on lap 5. Snyder headed pitside to change the tire and returned to the track on the tail. The shakeup at the top moved Myers to the point where he would be followed by Anderson. On lap 10 Anderson would motor past Myers for the lead, where he wouldn’t look back. He was followed by Myers, Jose Marsh, Donna Gentry and Todd Werntz rounded out the top five. Heat race wins went to Marsh and Jim Nicely and Snyder won the dash. Anderson set the quick time.

In the Federated Auto Parts Mini Stock division it was Henry Britton jumping to the early lead. Last weeks feature winner Brandon Morrow dropped in line to run second but the caution would fly for Morrow on lap 3 with mechanical problems. The moved the current points leader to second. On the restart it again was all Britton as he powered away from the competition. He would take the checkers for the sixth time this year. He was followed by Beckett, Jeff Theil, Nick Smith and Josh Robinson. Trevor Phillips and Nick Smith won heat races and Britton won the dash. Morrow set fast time.

Markham, Anderson, Lonas, Britton and Rohr winners at Wayne County Speedway

By Ryan Pearson

Orrville, Ohio-After having last week off due to the weather racers and fans alike were ready to sling some dirt at Wayne County Speedway. Saturday July 23rd the pits had over 100 cars signed in and the grandstand was full. Christmas in July was presented by Cashland as Santa also made an appearance at the track. Also sponsoring the night’s events was WQKT 104.5 FM ‘Sports Country’.

It was an on the edge of your seat feature for the American Payroll Advance Super Late Model action that saw Doug Drown jump out in front early. He was pressured heavily by Eric Myers and Ryan Markham. On lap 7 Markham went to work on the high side as Myers went low, coming off of turn two the three leaders were three wide, door handle to door handle. Shaking out on top was Myers and Drown slipping back to third. As the leaders started handling lapped traffic a caution for Eric Smitley and Eric Eicholtz on lap 11 flew. At that point Markham was starting to work on Myers. Myers held off Markham until lap 14, but Markham strength was the high side. He completed the pass and ran away from the field to take the checkers. He was followed by Myers, Drown, Charlie Duncan and Rick Bond to round out the top five. Myers was the fast qualifier.

“If our lift bar wouldn’t have broke, I think we would have been all right” stated Myers after the races. “Ryan (Markham) was good up on the top. It was pretty cool running three wide there”.

Markham placed the Biscottis Restaurant, Stu's Place, J & D Door Company, Bert Transmission; Malcuit powered Rocket Chassis in victory lane for the fourth time this year. After the races he said “That’s what the fans came to see, three wide there. Doug started on the pole and he has been running good over here. Just me and Spud (Myers) were chomping at the bit, just looking to go. I knew we had a good car, our tires came in everything just clicked”.

In the RPM Motorsports Modified division it was Mike Potopsky jumping out to the early lead. He would be pressured by Mike Lonas, who would slip by for the lead on lap 17. Potopsky’s tires would slightly fade as eighth starting Kevin Morehouse would sneak by for second place. As the checkers flew it was Lonas, Morehouse, Potopsky, David Liles and Kyle Brown rounding out the top five.

In the Thrifty Discount Muffler Pure Stocks division it was Todd Werntz leading the first lap. That’s all he would lead as Troy Anderson worked around Werntz on the second lap and wouldn’t look back. Werntz followed Anderson to the checkers. The AMB transponder scoring system came in handy for the third finishing position as Donna Gentry powered past Roger Drouhard and Travis Mensching. It was Anderson’s fifth feature win this year.

In the Federated Auto Parts Mini Stock division it was Dalton Ohio racer Trevor Phillips powering to the early lead. He would hold off all contenders for several laps until Henry Britton ducked under Phillips on lap 10. No competitor could mount a serious charge at Britton. He was followed to the checkers by Jason Theil, Dale Beckett, Phillips and Nick Smith rounding out the top five. It was Britton’s fifth feature win for 2005.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Drown, Stambaugh, Anderson, Britton, Craver and Coblentz victorious at Wayne County Speedway

By Ryan Pearson

Orrville, Ohio-The action was non-stop Saturday night July 9^th at Wayne County Speedway, as fans were treated to tight door handle to door handle racing in all divisions. It was American Red Cross night and the racing was sponsored by WQKT 104.5 ‘Sports Country’.

It was the second leg of the highly anticipated Faster Pastor series. Area clergy traded their suits and ties for driver’s suits and helmets to see who would be tonights faster pastor. Area pastors participating were Glen Caudill from the West Salem Church of God, Glen Coblentz from the Longenecker Mennonite Church, Duane Detweiler from the Fairlawn Mennonite Church, Chris Troupe from the Emanuel Baptist Church, Russ Ward from the North Stewart Road Church of God and the Wayne County Speedway track Chaplin Eric Ruth.

Starting on the pole was Pastor Caudill as his congregation donated the most non-perishable food items. He led the field down for the green but slipped too low and got stuck in the mud which brought out the caution. With the field reset it was Pastor Coblentz charging out to the front. He would be pressured by Pastor Ward, but Pastor Ward couldn’t duck under him for the pass. Sixth starting Pastor Ruth would slide up to third by the half way point and would attempt to close on the top two pastors. At the checkers it was Pastor Coblentz followed by Pastor Ward, Pastor Ruth, Pastor Troupe, Pastor Caudill and Pastor Detwiler. The food items will be donated to Boys Village which is the charity Pastor Coblentz chose.

It was a battle of attrition in the American Payroll Advance Super Late Models as Ryan Markham set the early pace. The red flag would fly on lap 8 for a huge pileup on the front straightway. The track was partially block by the Eric Eicholtz machine which left several drivers no where to go. Jim Gentry, Eric Smitley, Charlie Duncan, Mark Bellamy and Eicholtz were all involved. Eicholtz, Bellamy and Duncan had to retire for the night but all drivers were ok. Once the green flag flew Doug Drown would charge to the point slipping under Markham. Eighth starting Drown wouldn’t look back as he held on through a slew of cautions for the win. He was followed by Markham, Dave Wirt, and Rick Bond. Rounding out the top five was Chet Alexander.

In the RPM Motorsports Modified division it was last weeks feature winner Rob Stambaugh jumping out to the early lead. Took Wiles would hound Stambaugh lap after lap trying to slide past him for the lead. Stambaugh would hold his ground for the win. He was followed by Wiles, Eighth starting Newark Ohio racer Kevin Morehouse, Jay Howe and rounding out the top five was Mike Lonas.

In the Thrifty Discount Muffler Pure Stock division it was Fred Snyder and Troy Anderson switching the lead back and forth. Those two would battle for several laps before Anderson finally cleared Snyder. On lap 14 Anderson started to pull away from the Snyder which allowed Tim Myers and Todd Werntz to join in the fray. Myers and Werntz would slice and dice but couldn’t catch Anderson or Snyder. That’s how they would cross the finish line. Finishing third was Myers, fourth went to Werntz and rounding out the top five was Verne Siegrist.

In the Federated Auto Parts Mini Stock division the action was just as good which saw Henry Britton and Dale Beckett trade positions for the first 4 laps. Britton sliced ahead of Beckett for the lead on lap 7 and wouldn’t look back from there as he brought home the checkered flag. Finishing second was Beckett, third was Nick Smith, fourth Josh Robinson and rounding out the top five was Jeff Theil.

For the first time ever at Wayne County Speedway was the four cylinder Mini Trucks. Starting on the pole from Orrville Ohio was Bill Wallace. Wallace brought the field to the green flag but would then fade back. Blasting to the early lead was eighth starting Brandon Craver. He was followed by fellow Thrifty Discount Muffler truck Bill Bardy. That’s how they would finish. Coming home third was Tom Kemp, fourth was Sam Piper and rounding out the top five was Dan Cline.

On lap 6 Took Wiles used the high side to blast past Kugel for second. Wiles would attempt to track down Stambaugh but he just didn’t have quite enough. Stambaugh came home the winner followed by Wiles, Kugel, David Lies and Rocky Kugel rounded out the top five. Newark Ohio racer Kevin Morehouse and Rocky Kugel were heat race winners. David Liles set fast time.

In the Thrifty Discount Muffler Pure Stocks Fred Snyder would pace the field out front early. A couple early cautions bunched the field up and enabled Troy Anderson to slip by Snyder on lap three. Andersons lead last another five laps as Snyder had the high side working as he slipped past Anderson for the lead on lap 8. Anderson would continually work the low side to no avail. Snyder crossed the strip first; he was followed by Anderson, Jose Marsh, Todd Werntz and Robert Wile. Heat races went to Anderson, Snyder, Werntz and Hiram Bachman. Anderson set fast time.

In the Federated Auto Parts Mini Stock division it was Navarre Ohio racer Josh Robinson blasting to the early lead. That lead would evaporate as Mansfield Ohio driver Henry Britton would work the high side on Robinson most the race. But it was the inside that enabled Britton to complete the pass on Robinson for the lead. At the line it was Britton, Robinson, Jeff Theil, Dale Beckett and Bradley Hensel. Finishing sixth was sixteenth starting Nick Smith; Smith was the B-Main winner. Winning the heats were Greg Miller, Mitchell Johnson and Britton. Brandon Morrow set fast time.

For the make up feature from June 25^th it Britton taking the early lead. Beckett would put heavy pressure on Britton but couldn’t make a pass stick. Britton would take the checkers over Beckett, Robinson Trevor Phillips and Jason Theil.

The second leg of the Wayne County Speedway Faster Pastor races is scheduled for July 9^th. The pastors racing are Russ Ward from the North Stewart Road Church of God in Mansfield; Glen Coblentz from the Longenecker Mennonite Church in Winesburg.

Ohio Sprint Speedweek “Pete Jacobs Memorial” goes to Kane

By Ryan Pearson

Orrville, Ohio-The one and only “Pete Jacobs Memorial” is in the books as Todd Kane notches his name record books as the 2005 winner for the Monday leg of the Ohio Sprint Speedweek. The Federated Auto Parts Triple Thunder Sizzler Series was the weekend racing extravaganza celebrating 40 years of racing at the 3/8s mile clay oval. The grandstands were packed full of fans, as several came out to watch the 410 sprints for Ohio Sprint Speedweek.

Brandon Martin was the one to beat early as he blasted to the lead and would extend his lead lap after lap. The red flag flew on lap 11 when the Upper Sandusky racer Ed Neumeister got upside down in turn one. Once the green flag flew Martin again blasted ahead of the field, with David Harrison in tow. A tight battle waged for the third place as Marty Ling and Cameron Dodson sliced and diced back and forth. The caution would fly on lap 20 when both Ling and Harrison would get together causing both to spin. That caution moved Kane up to second, when the green flag would fly Kane pulled up on Martin as they would run side by side battling for the top spot. Kane overtook Martin on lap 24. It went down hill for Martin from there as he took a tumble one lap 30 in turn one running second. Dodson who was running second slowed and he would have to retire pitside for fuel on lap 37. From there it was all Kane as he pulled away from the competition. Wooster Ohio’s Jamie Martin who started eighteenth would come home second, he was followed by Medina Ohio driver Andrew Paulker. David Harrison worked his way up to fourth after he pitted with a flat tire. Rounding out the top five was Rodney Morgan. Heat race wins went to Mike Linder, David Harrison and Todd Kane. The B-Main win went to Nick Mulheim.

In the American Payroll Advance Super Late Models action it was Mark Banal setting the pace early. He wheeled his Rayburn chassis high and low just keeping out in from of Dave Wirt and Doug Drown. Wirt slicing and dicing would work high then slip low, that strategy worked as Banal slid high just a little and Wirt ducked under as they drag raced down the front straightaway. On lap 17 Wirt was able to clear Banal, Banal would retire pit side with mechanical problems. Wirt covered the field in the remaining laps; as he pulled clear of Drown. Drown finished second, he was followed by Charlie Duncan, the ‘Michigan Madman’ Rusty Schlenk from Jackson Michigan finished fourth. Rounding out the top five was George Lee. Taking heat race wins were Charlie Duncan, Doug Drown and Rusty Schlenk.
