Another Exciting Night of Racing at
MRP!!
9-2-11 - Williamsburg, OH - While the
heat returned to the thermometer the
racing action continued to be hot on
the track. With the Holman Motors
Special Event on tap there was 30 laps
and $1,000 on the line. With 22 cars
on hand the events would get started
with 3 heat races and Ronnie Choate
Jr of Cookeville, Tenn, Miles Tarvin of
Georgetown and Rusty Yarger from
Hillsboro taking the wins and setting
the stage for the big event. In the
feature event it was Yarger out front
with Choate all over his rear bumper. A
couple of cautions within the first five
laps slowed the action but on lap six it
was Derick Davis out front with Choate
still in pursuit. By lap 22 it was Miles
Tarvin up to second but he would have
nothing for Derick Davis as he would
take his Holman Motors GMC machine
back to victory lane for the second
time in 3 weeks this time with the
Hillbilly Nationals Trophy and $1,000
check . Tarvin would come home
second followed by Jeff Watson,
Choate Jr, and Sean Jones in the top
five positions.
In the Sunesis Construction Late
Models there were 19 cars on hand
with Chad Stapleton and Bub McCool
taking the heat race wins in the
matching #32 RiteWay Construction,
Skeletor Core, Roger’s Bar sponsored
orange and black machines. In the
feature it was McCool out front on the
first start attempt but contact between
Dillan White and Barry Doss would
bring out a caution and cause a
restart. On the restart it was Stapleton
out front with McCool in pursuit. The
top three cars of Stapleton, McCool,
and Jason Jameson would put on a
furious battle out front as they sliced
and diced through traffic and amongst
themselves. At the end it was
Stapleton taking the win with McCool
sliding by Jameson off of turn four on
the final lap to take second position.
Barry Doss would recover for a fourth
place finish while John Whitney Jr
came home in fifth spot.
In the Mt Orab Ford Modifieds there
were 35 cars on hand trying to make
the 20 car starting lineup for the
feature event. To set the field there
were 4 ten lap heat races with Dave
Jamison, Randy Wash, Derick Davis,
and Kelly Craddoch taking the
victories. Some interesting action in
the heat races as in heat race number
one rookie driver Taylor Lunsford
would spin in turn two and roll over on
his top (yet would return for the B-main
event) while in heat race number four
Weasel Rhoades, Matt Colston, and
Travis Fleshman would all miss the
corner in turn three and drive into the
wall. In the 2 B-main events it was Jerry
Lawson and Kevin Doyle taking the
checkers to set the stage for the
feature event. In the feature event it
was the “Racing Farmer”, Randy Wash
out front in his Feesburg Fertilizer,
Seips Auto Parts, Wash Farms, Fast
Shocks machine and while the record
books will show he led all 20 laps it
wasn’t easy as Doug Adkins was on his
tail from lap 6 all the way to the finish.
Wash would take the checkers for the
first time this season while Adkins was
right on his bumper to claim second
with Craddoch, Jameson, and Davis
rounding out the top five finishers.
The night would be rounded out by the
Big Red Book Street Stocks as 15 cars
were on hand vying for the top spot. In
heat race action it was Brandon Reed
and Bub Balsley taking the wins and
starting the feature event from row #1.
At the drop of the green there was no
doubt that Balsley was the man to beat
as he rocketed out front in his Detmer
Race Engines machine. Throughout
the race Jeremie Bretz ran second and
tried to take the top spot to no avail as
Balsley was able to lead all fifteen laps
and claim yet another victory at MRP
this season. Bretz would come home
second followed by Jamey Adams,
Reed, and Bruce Gray Jr. September
9th Modifieds $1000 to Win plus all
regular classes, makeup street stock
race and mechanics races. www.
