I don’t remember where I met Larry, in my mind he was always a friend, a friend I’ve known forever. Likely it was at Raceway 7 where I had been a fan of Billy Henry, Larry’s stepson, for years. At the season opening race for the RUSH (then FASTRAK) Late Model Series in about 2012 at Roaring Knob Speedway. Larry took me around the pits, introducing me to the various drivers and explaining about each of the cars. Even though I had a working knowledge of the cars and the series, Larry was very helpful. That helpfulness was a hallmark of his life. He was a man who wanted to help in every situation. He was a very pleasant person to know.

When Larry started working as the Raceway 7 chaplain he sat in the press room with his wife, Pat. During the races he and Pat would often ask if I had seen something and they were always helpful as “spotters”. Of course, I can see only one end of the track at a time and they would alert me to something happening at the opposite end of the track. If there was a skirmish involving several cars I could count on them ‘filling in the blanks’ that I might have missed. They always were willing to help me identify cars in accidents. I always felt comfortable asking them for details that I might have missed.

Last season saw Larry quickly getting weaker and weaker. He was having trouble getting up the stairs and usually required help getting into his chair. His mental capacity never failed but his physical body did. He watched his step-son every lap, quietly cheering him on. Larry was with Billy every lap of every race. Watching him watch Billy was inspiring, not every step-dad can be so caring but he certainly was.

As the summer wore on he began having trouble speaking and could usually only manage a whisper at best. My heart ached for him but I could understand that even then, he was trying to be helpful. And in many ways, he was still very helpful. He helped maintain my faith in mankind through the faith he had in his Savior and the trust he had in the Lord. Larry had complete faith that his pains were temporary and that he would soon be reunited with all he loved.

Larry McGee met his Maker with dignity and love, he will forever live in Paradise due to his actions on this Earth, actions that were always designed to help his fellow travelers find their way to a better life both here and in the hereafter.

Rest In Peace Larry McGee, you’re a wonderful soul and the world is a better place because you were in it.

Bossard repeats, Kinney, Fielding, and Lawrence score championships! Miller is a champion by slimmest of margins!
By Jay Pees

Conneaut, OH (August 30, 2019): The 2019 regular season ended at Raceway 7 with five champions crowned. Darrell Bossard had wrapped up the Evergreen Lake Park Campground RUSH Late Model championship August 23. Matt Latta captured his sixth feature win of the season. Mike Potosky won his fifth Bonnell’s Collision Center E-Mod feature of the season with Mike Kinney edging out Casey Bowers for the championship by eight points (unofficial). Jamie Duncan won his fourth Campbell’s Mini Storage main event of the season but Pat Fielding had clinched the championship last week. The closest points battle of the year was in the Bonnell’s Auto Sales Economods where Kyle Miller held a nine-point lead going onto the final night of racing over Matt Alexander. Alexander won the feature but was second in his heat while Miller won his heat and wound up third in the feature, allowing Miller to hang on and clinch the championship by a single point! In the Sunnyside Farm Transit Mini Stock feature Dalton Speer crossed the finish line first but failed technical inspection due to an illegal part, so was disqualified, advancing Mark Lawrence to his fifth win of the season. Lawrence had a banner year and had secured the championship with a week to spare. At intermission Bill Taylor was honored for his fifty years of racing and all the contributions he has made to the sport over that time. Taylor, in his seventies, stated “That’s really cool” and then thanked the fans and drivers, saying “You make it fun”. He was presented with a new helmet donated by fellow competitor Troy Johnson and signed by drivers and track employees. On his way back to the pit he was greeted with a line of drivers, owners, and employees with hand shakes, reminiscent of the reception given to Dale Earnhardt after his 1998 Daytona 500 win.

The Campbell’s Mini Storage Street Stocks had Darr Diegelman and Jamie Duncan on the front row with Joe Stajnragh and 2019 champion Pat Fielding in row two. Diegelman led lap one with Duncan, Stajnragh, Fielding and David Baker filling out the top five. Stajnragh spun in turn two, slowing the race under caution and elevating Fielding to third, Baker to fourth, and Tom Teed to fifth. Douglas Eck got by Teed for fifth at lap three then at four laps two-time winner Watson spun in turn one with Charlie McMillen, Dave Snyder, and Teed getting involved and blocking the track, stopping the event under the red flag. When racing resumed it was Diegelman, Duncan, Fielding, Baker, and Eck leading the way. Eck suffered a flat right rear tire, forcing him pitside. Tony Spaghetti spun in turn four with five laps complete, climbing onto one of the infield-marking tires, also involving McMillen, Teed, and Stajnragh. At this point only seven cars remained on the track with Diegelman still leading until Duncan got by at eight laps by .074 second. Watson edged Stajnragh for fourth at ten laps. Fielding took over second at eleven laps when McMillen again spun. Being his third charged caution, he was sent pitside. The final caution was for a spin with one lap remaining by David Baker. The top five wound up as Duncan, Fielding, Diegelman, Watson, and Teed.

Garrett Calvert and two-time winner Nate Young brought the Bonnell’s Auto Sales Economod feature to green with championship contenders Kyle Miller and Matt Alexander starting sixth and fourth respectively. Coming into the final event Miller had an eleven point lead over Alexander. At lap one Calvert led Young, Kyle Reinwald, Alexander, and Miller. In turn four on lap two Young spun but did not stop. However, both Derek Connors and Bob Vogt Jr also spun, putting the race under caution with only one lap complete. Since he did not stop, Young was restored to second for the restart. This attempt at lap two had J J Bumetzrieder and and Kyle Atkins spinning in turn four. Judson Fell spun at lap four then Mike Harmon managed to spin in turn three on the pace lap as the field sped up then suddenly slowed. Nate Young got to the lead at lap five over Calvert, Alexander, Reinwald, and Miller. Atkins spun again in turn four at eight laps then Miller came to fourth at the restart and the to third at lap nine of the fifteen scheduled. Casey Harmon and Derek Connors both came to a stop in turn four with Connors heading to the pits then Harmon again stopping in turn one. The restart had Nate Young leading Alexander, Miller, Reinwald, and Calvert as the top five. With two laps remaining Young had a very narrow .085 second lead as the two raced nearly side by side. At the white flag Alexander had the lead by an even narrower .011 second. At the checkers Alexander was ahead by .069 second for his third win of the season. With Miller third, he clinched the championship by a single point after a season of close racing. The top five were Alexander, Nate Young, Miller, Reinwald, and Jarrit Young. Miller’s right front tire was deflating over the last few laps and he stated that another lap or a caution would have been the end of his championship hopes. The tire was totally flat during his championship interview. A gracious Alexander congratulated Miller on his season.

The Bonnell’s Collision Center E-Mod feature started with Randy Hall and four-time winner Mike Potosky on row one and running side by side to turn four of lap one when Potosky edged ahead. Back in the pack the battle for the points championship raged between Mike Kinney, who was one point in the lead for the championship coming into the feature, and Casey Bowers. At the end of one Kinney was third with Bowers sixth. At lap four Bowers got to fourth with Kinney taking second at lap five and Bowers powering to third. Out front Potosky was lengthening his lead to 2.710 seconds at lap seven while Kinney and Bowers were now side by side on the back straight and into turns three and four where Bowers uncharacteristically spun in turn four, hitting hard on his championship hopes. On the green it was now Potosky leading Kinney, May 31 winner Dennis Lunger, Hall, and Josh McDonald. At the halfway point Hall had moved by Lunger for third with McDonald also getting by for fourth at lap eleven. With five to go the front five were the same with Bowers back up to tenth. With three to go Bowers was eighth. The final caution came at lap seventeen when Mark Titus spun in turn two. At the checkers it was Potosky, Kinney, Hall, McDonald, and Lunger the top five. Bowers finished eighth, giving the championship to Kinney by an unofficial twenty points.

Twenty-six cars started the Evergreen Lake Park Campground RUSH Late Model feature with Jared Kane and Joe Long leading the way. Kane led to turn three when Long got by him. Then former two-time Kyle Zimmerman spun in turn four. Long took the lead in turn two on the restart, then both Kessler and Dave Airgood slowed on the back straight. Airgood, in apparent retaliation, hit Chris Withers on the pace lap for the restart and was disqualified for his actions. Yet another caution marred the attempt at lap two when Joe Howell spun in turn two. On this green Latta came to second but just past the flag stand Tyler Allison got into the front straight wall hard. Latta again took second on the restart and lap two was finally complete with Long leading Latta, Kane, Boozel, and Darrell Bossard, who had clinched the championship, his second consecutive, last week. With two complete, Joe Watson and Kessler got into the front straight wall. On lap five the race for the lead was side by side between Latta and Long on the back straight with Latta ahead by a car length at the completion of the lap. Watson then spun again in turn four at five laps. At six laps Long was again the leader over Latta, Kane, Boozel, and Bossard. Five cars piled up in turn four at lap seven including Joe DeFazio, Chad Sines, Cory Sines, Ron Boardman, and Joe Howell. Long and Latta were again side by side in turn three with Long the leader at the line. At halfway Long led Latta, Kane, Boozel, and Bossard. One lap past halfway Long slid wide in turn two, allowing Latta to get by for the lead. Watson spun for the third time at lap fourteen, sending him pitside. Howell also spun again. At sixteen, Bossard and Boozel were side by side for fourth with Bossard showing a .042 second ahead. At nineteen laps Bossard spun in turn two. The finish was Latta, Long, Kane, Boozel, and Zimmerman.

The Sunnyside Farm Transit Mini Stocks had Tricia Jacklett and Joe Romanko on the front row for the feature. Coming to green Brian McGarvie got into the front straight wall. At the end of one lap it was Romanko leading Lane Reinwald, Jessica Harvey, and Dalton Speer with Jacklett, Zoey Gill, and Wick three-wide for fifth. Harvey was second at three laps with Gill now solidly in fifth. At four laps Harvey was leading. Caution flew at six laps when Reinwald came to a halt on the back straight with Harvey leading Romanko, Speer, Gill, and Emily Stoyer back to green. Harvey and Speer were side by side on the back straight at lap six with Speer leading at halfway over Harvey, former champion Joe Campbell, Romanko, and newly-crowned points champion Mark Lawrence. Caution flew at lap eight for debris in turn one. Speer led Harvey, Campbell, Lawrence, and Romanko back to green with Campbell coming to second but then spinning in turn two at eleven laps. At the checkers it was Speer, Lawrence, Harvey, Romanko, and Emily Stoyer. In post-race inspection Speer’s car was found to have an illegal part and he was disqualified, giving the win to Lawrence and elevating Wick to fifth at the finish.

Conneaut, OH (August 16, 2019): The fourteenth consecutive night of racing at Raceway 7 saw one new winner and four repeaters in Victory Lane as Mike McGee raced to his second consecutive Raceway 7 Bonnell’s Collision Center E-Mod feature win in the prestigious Bob and Jackie Vogt Memorial, paying homage to two of the most loved people in Raceway 7 history. The race was sponsored by Cashen Ready Mix. Dustin Demattia won his first-ever Bonnell’s Auto Sales Economod feature at Raceway 7. Former Evergreen Lake Park Campground RUSH Late Model champion Kyle Zimmerman won his second feature of the season, Jamie Duncan drove to his third Campbell’s Mini Storage Street Stock feature win of the season and Mark Lawrence went to victory Lane in the Sunnyside Farm Transit Mini Stocks for the fifth time!

The featured race of the night was the Bob and Jackie Vogt Memorial for the Bonnell’s Collision Center E-Mod sponsored by Cashen Ready Mix. After three heats and two dashes to set the starting order it was Dennis Lunger and Mike McGee at the front of the line-up for the thirty lap feature. At the green McGee immediately charged into the lead but a “chain reaction” contact in the middle of the pack left Jesse Gould stalled in turn two, negating the start with the first caution of the event. When the race finally saw green it was McGee leading four-time winner Mike Potosky, Lunger, two-time winner Casey Bowers, and former champion Joel Watson at the end of one lap. Watson got by Bowers for fourth at three laps then was third a lap later. At five laps Watson was up to third. Through laps six to ten Watson was steadily eating away at McGee’s lead then took over at turn three on lap eleven to lead by .027 seconds at the line. McGee charged back to lead laps fourteen through seventeen, when third-running Lunger slowed in turn two, putting the race under caution. With ten to go the order was McGee, Watson, Bowers, Dan Davies, and Josh McDonald. McDonald and Josh Ferry were side by side for fifth with five to go. With only four laps remaining former class champion Percy McDonald spun in turn four for the final caution. On lap 27 Bowers charged by Watson on the back straight for second but was unable to get any closer to McGee, who went on to the win over Bowers, Watson, Davies, and points leader Mike Kinney, who got by both Josh McDonald and Ferry in the waning laps. Garrett Calvert won the Hard Charger Award, advancing eleven positions from twentieth at the start to ninth at the checkers.

The Evergreen Lake Park Campground RUSH Late Models started their feature with Joe DeFazio and Kyle Zimmerman leading the way. At the green Steve Hollabaugh and Joe Howell tangled in turn two, slowing the race under caution. On the next attempt Hollabaugh, Joe Watson, Joe Howell, and John Oakes spun in turn two. Andy Boozel spun in turn three on the next attempt. When a lap was finally in the books it was Zimmerman over three-time winner Matt Latta, Long, two-time winner Dave Airgood, and Chad Sines. At three laps Jason Genco displaced Breyton Santee for fifth and then got by DeFazio for fourth a lap later. Up front in turns three and four, Zimmerman and Latta were side by side for the lead at lap six. The red flag was shown after a turns one and two incident among Jacob Peterson, Oakes, and Brandon Porter with Porter suffering an arm injury requiring transport to a local hospital. When the race resumed it was Zimmerman, Latta, Dave Airgood, Genco, and DeFazio. At eleven laps Genco got to third. Latta again challenged for the lead on lap seventeen on the back stretch but again Zimmerman prevailed. The final caution came at this point when Genco spun in turns one and two but did not stop, thus being able to retain his position. At the finish it was Zimmerman for the second time this season. Latta settled for second over Genco, Airgood, and DeFazio.

The Campbell’s Mini Storage Street Stocks came to Mark Osburn’s green flag with David Baker and Darr Diegelman at the front of the pack. Baker led Diegelman, points leader Pat Fielding, last week’s winner Jamie Duncan, and Charlie McMillen at the end of one circuit. Former champion Jimmy Kennerknecht took over fifth at lap three. At four laps Diegelman and Fielding were fighting over the runner-up spot but it was Duncan getting by both at five laps. At lap seven McMillen spun in turn two. The final caution came at lap nine when Douglas Eck spun in turn three. The order at the checkers was Duncan, Diegelman, Fielding, Baker, and Kennerknecht.

The Bonnell’s Auto Sales Economods were paced by points leader Kyle Miller with Dustin Demattia to his right. Miller and Demattia ran side by side through lap one with Demattia showing a slim .094 lead at the stripe. At lap three Dan Moffitt spun in turn two then red was shown as the track was blocked by the spun cars of Gary Murphy, Jarrit Young, Kyle Reinwald, and Will Pinckney. At five laps Demattia led Nate Young, Miller, Matt Alexander, and Billy Cunningham. Lap seven had a caution when Hayden Loomis spun in turn two. Derek Connors and Gary Murphy got together with Connors winding up on the infield. At ten laps Loomis again spun, again in turn two. Justin Sax was the next caution, at lap eleven for a spin in turn three, then again, in turn four, after green was reshown. The checkers flew first over Demattia, his first at Raceway 7. Following Demattia to the line were Nate Young, Miller, last week’s winner Alexander, and Cunningham.

The Sunnyside Farm Transit Mini Stocks were shown to green by Jessica Harvey and Kevin Watson with Harvey leading at the end of the opening lap over fourth-starting Joe Campbell, Watson, Zack Eller, and Dalton Speer. At turn four on lap three Speer spun sideways, eventually involving Corey Wick, Zoey Gill, and Scott Gill. Harvey lead Campbell, Watson, Zack Eller, Lane Reinwald, and Mark Lawrence after green. By halfway Harvey was still the leader with Campbell second, Lawrence up to third, Eller now fourth, and Dalton Speer fifth. With two to go Campbell slid wide through two but held on, only falling to third. Lawrence got by Harvey in turn two on lap eleven and went on to the win. Harvey wound up second over Campbell. Speer, and Eller.

Conneaut, OH (July 19, 2019): Despite blistering air temperatures, rain hitting the track in the late afternoon, and lighting flashing all around the area, the sky held off until racing was complete for the tenth consecutive event of 2019. In Victory Lane after their features were Dave Airgood (Evergreen Lake Park Campground RUSH Late Models), Mike Potosky (Bonnell’s Collision Center E-Mods), Kyle Couchenour (Penn-Ohio ProStocks/Campbell’s Mini Storage Street Stocks), Matt Alexander (Bonnell’s Auto Sales Economods), and Joe Campbell (Sunnyside Farm Transit Mini Stocks).
The Evergreen Lake Park Campground RUSH Late Models were the first feature of the evening with June 7 winner Breyton Santee and Khole Wanzer leading the way to green. Last week’s winner Matt Latta was absent, celebrating the birth of a son, Carter James Latta. Santee led lap one with Wanzer, defending champion and current points leader Darrell Bossard, Dave Airgood, and former champion Kyle Zimmerman filling out the top five. Joe Howell caused the first caution when he spun in turn two on lap two. Wanzer and Airgood were side by side for third at the end of three laps with Wanzer holding it at lap four. Airgood had the spot when caution flew for the leader Santee, who experienced apparent mechanical issues on the back straight, coming to a halt at the end of the straight and needing towed pitside. For the green it was Bossard, Wanzer, Airgood, Zimmerman, and Chad Sines at the front but Brandon Porter, Joe Howell, and Dennis Dellinger all spun in turn two, negating the start. Sines was fourth at nine laps with Bossard still leading at halfway when caution appeared for Howell, this time spun in turn four. Airgood got by Bossard at lap eleven and was still leading when Chad Sines slowed to a halt on the back straight. Zimmerman got to third at lap thirteen with Porter again bringing yellow over the event when he stopped in turn three. The restart order was Airgood, Bossard, Zimmerman, Wanzer, and Joe Long now fifth. The final slowing was for Jacob Peterson, spun in turn two with two laps remaining. At the checkers the top five were the same. It was Airgood’s first win of the season. Bossard, Zimmerman, Wanzer, and Long filled out the top five.
Matt Alexander and Jarrit Young brought the Bonnell’s Auto Sales Economods to green with Alexander leading Young, Andy Buckley, Nate Young, and Jacob Eucker at the end of one lap. At four laps defending champion Eric Reinwald and Young spun in turns one and two. For the restart it was Alexander, Buckley, Young, Eucker, and now, last week’s winner Kyle Miller up to fifth from eighth on the grid. Derek Connors and Daniel Neel, visiting from Arkansas, spun in turn four at six complete. At the halfway point Alexander enjoyed a 1.088 second lead but Buckley was closing it slightly when Cale Sousa and Mike Harmon spun in turn four. At green Nate Young, Mark Titus, J J Bumetzrieder, and Ed Snyder all spun in turns one and two. Miller came up to second on the back straight at lap twelve and Eucker was third a lap later. With one lap remaining the final caution fell, for Allen Phillips, spun in turn four. The order at the checkers was Alexander for his first win of the year, Miller, Eucker, Buckley, and Nate Young.
The main event of the night was the Penn-Ohio Pro Stocks 20-lap, $1000 to win event with Billy Henry and Kyle Couchenour on the front row. Henry led to turn two but Couchenour charged back to lead lap one by .841 second over Henry, Tim Bish, Pat Fielding, and Rusty Moore. By lap five Fielding, a two time Raceway 7 winner in ’19, had fallen out of the top five with Moore now fourth and Shaun Hooks up to fifth. Caution fell at lap six when Curt Bish spun in turn four. Then, after green, Henry spun from second in turns one and two, elevating Fielding back into the top five. Moore got to second at lap seven and yet another yellow flew at eight when Bobby Whitling slowed to a stop in turn two. Moore took over at the front in turn two on lap nine and led by .395 second at lap fifteen. Couchenour made several attempts to get by Moore with the final attempt coming in turns three and four on the final lap, going low to get by Moore for the win by .333 second! Moore was second with Hooks getting up to third on the final run. Randy Wyant was fourth and Tim Bish finished fifth.
2017 champion Joe Campbell started the Sunnyside Farm Transit Mini Stock feature from the pole with current points leader Mark Lawrence outside. Tristan Start was the first caution before a lap was complete, spun in turn two. Then Ana Vassen stopped in turn two on the restart for the next yellow. When the race got going it was Campbell leading Lawrence, Dean Speer, Jessica Harvey, and Cory Wick at the end of one lap. Wick was on the move coming to fourth at lap six and third at lap seven. At eight laps it was Campbell, Lawrence, Wick, Jim Haefke, and Speer the top five. Lawrence pulled even with Campbell on the back straight at lap ten but Campbell had a half car-length lead at the stripe and fully in the lead at the white flag. Campbell had a car-length lead at the finish, his first win of the season, over Lawrence, Wick, Haefke, and Harvey.
The final event of the night was for the Bonnell’s Collision Center E-Mods with two-time winner Mike Kinney and Mike Potosky, who had earlier this season won three in a row, on the front row. Kinney led to turn one with Potosky and two-time champion Gary Eicher side by side for second. At two complete it was Potosky, Kinney, last week’s winner Casey Bowers, Eicher, and Dan McDonald the top five. Bowers got to second at lap three with Eicher third on the back stretch. At halfway it was Potosky, Bowers, Kinney, Eicher, and McDonald with Potosky enjoying a 3.679 lead. A lap past halfway Jesse Gould slowed to a halt in turn two. On this restart a “chain-reaction” wreck involved the cars of Josh McDonald, Garrett Calvert, Brandon Grossman, and Bill Taylor with Taylor winding up backwards in turn two. Josh McDonald got by Dan McDonald in turn two at lap thirteen for fifth. The race for fourth heated up on the back straight with Eicher and Bowers racing side by side and Eicher securing the spot at the line. Potosky went on to the win, his fourth of the year, with a 4.890 second lead over Kinney, Eicher, Bowers, and Alan Atkinson.

Conneaut, OH (July 12, 2019): The ninth consecutive night of racing at Raceway 7 in 2019 was under beautiful, warm skies which saw four repeat winners and one driver getting his first season win. Matt Latta picked up his third Evergreen Lake Park Campground RUSH Late Model win, stopping Darrell Bossard’s win streak at three, Paul Davis got his third Campbell’s Mini Storage Street Stock victory, Kyle Miller won his second Bonnell’s Auto Sales Economod feature of the season, and defending Sunnyside Farm Transit Mini Stock champion Dillon Speer continued his title defense with his fifth win of the season. Casey Bowers won the Bonnell’s Collision Center E-Mod feature, breaking the points tie with Mike Kinney.

The first feature on the track was for the Bonnell’s Collision Center E-Mods with co-points leader Casey Bowers and Jesse Gould starting up front. At turn one Tyler Frankenberry, Dan McDonald, Brian Huffman, and former champion Gary Eicher got together in turn one with Frankenberry heading to the pit with a flat left rear and Eicher with heavy damage. On the next try lap one was complete when Bob Diver spun in turn two. When two laps were in the books it was Bowers, Gould, Percy McDonald, Josh McDonald, and three-time winner Mike Potosky leading the way. On this start Eicher spun in turn one with Dan McDonald spinning to avoid contact. Then Eicher spun again, coming back to green, ending his night as he had now been in three cautions, highly unusual for the two-time champion. Bowers again brought the field to green with Gould, Percy McDonald, Howard Fraley, and Josh McDonald in hot pursuit. Mike Kinney, last week’s winner and tied with Bowers for the points lead, then drove past both Josh McDonald and Fraley to take over fourth. At five laps Percy McDonald had displaced Gould for second and Farley had fallen out of the top five. Kinney got next to Percy McDonald at lap at lap nine and had second at the stripe. Bowers lengthened his lead to 5.145 seconds at the halfway point. Potosky was up to fourth at lap fourteen and third at sixteen as Bowers cruised to his fist win of the season by 6.505 seconds and unofficially took over the points lead by twelve markers. Kinney wound up second at the checkers with Potosky third, Percy McDonald fourth, and Gould fifth.

The Evergreen Lake Park Campground RUSH Late Models were the next feature on the track with Cory Sines and Matt Latta on the front row. The race had just taken the green when Dennis Dellinger, Jacob Peterson, and Joe Watson got together for a spin in turn four. When the race got going it was Latta leading Sines, Bruce Hordusky Jr, Dave Airgood, and former champion Kyle Zimmerman through lap one. By lap seven Latta had built up a 2.574 lead, only to lose it when Peterson spun again, this time in turn two. At the green Airgood immediately came to second with points leader and defending champion Darrell Bossard fourth at lap eight. At the halfway point it was Latta leading Airgood by a slim .0614 second with Sines, Bossard, and Hordusky filling out the top five. With five laps to go Latta had lengthened his lead to 1.150 seconds with the order the same, but the lap was not counted as Zimmerman, Brandon Porter, Joe Watson, and Hunter Proctor got together in turn four. Breyton Santee got to fourth at lap fifteen. The final caution was with only one lap remaining when Porter spun for the third time, relegating him to the pit. The order at the finish was Latta, Airgood, Sines, Santee, and Bossard.

Jessica Harvey and Cory Wick brought the Sunnyside Farm Transit Mini Stocks to green with Wick leading lap one but four-time winner and defending champion Dillon Speer coming to second from sixth on the grid and then to the lead at lap two. At the end of two Mark Lawrence was second with Wick third, Harvey fourth, and Dalton Speer fifth. Lawrence was challenging for the lead at four laps and was even with Speer at the line at six complete, then taking over at the front on the back straight. Unfortunately for Lawrence, the points leader, his car suddenly slowed to a halt at lap nine, ending his bid for his third win of the season. At the restart it was Speer, Wick, Harvey, Dalton Speer, and Zoey Gill leading the way but Gill made the hard right turn to the pit instead of taking the green, elevating Emily Stoyer to fifth. Jim Haefke Jr came up to fourth on the back stretch at lap eleven then Ana Vassen stopped in turn four. At the finish it was Speer for his fifth win of the season, tying his win total from his championship 2018 run, Wick, Harvey, Haefke, and Stoyer.

Kyle Miller and Mark Titus brought the Bonnell’s Auto Sales Economods to Chief Starter Mark Osburn’s green flag and immediately assumed the lead as the race entered turn one. Unfortunately for several drivers the lap didn’t complete as Billy Cunningham clipped the back straight wall, spinning sideways, then taking a hard hit from Brian Toto. Cunningham needed towed away but Toto was able to continue. Cale Souza, Casey Harmon, and Mike Harmon were also involved but were able to drive away although Mike Harmon went pitside, done for the night. The next attempt didn’t fare any better as Matt Alexander spun entering turn one with Toto, Dan McEwen, Seth Brenot, and Casey Harmon getting involved. Alexander and Casey Harmon pitted and Toto needed towed pitside with heavy damage. When lap one finally completed it was Miller leading the way over defending champion Eric Reinwald, Titus, Jarrit Young, and Dustin Demattia. Only one more lap was complete when Titus and Derek Connors spun in turn one with Judson Fell penalized two spots for his part in the wreck. With three laps in it was Miller, Reinwald, Demattia, Nate Young, and Alexander. At five laps Demattia and Reinwald were side by side fighting over second with Demattia holing a slight edge. Fell and Connors spun in turns one and two before lap five was complete. At the line to complete six laps it was Demattia and Reinwald battling for second with Demattia securing the spot and then attempting to get the lead using the upper groove while leader Miller was staying on the bottom. Connors’ night ended on lap nine when he spun for the third time and was sent to the pit. The order shuffled on the restart with Miller still leading Reinwald but Young now third, Demattia fourth, and Alexander fifth. The final caution was for Cale Sousa, spun in turn two. Miller increased his lead to .575 second at lap eleven and .861 second at the conclusion of the fifteen lap finale. The final order was Miller, Reinwald, Nate Young, Demattia, and Jarrit Young.

The final feature of the night was for the Campbell’s Mini Storage Street Stocks with David Baker and Bill Watson at the front. Watson got the lead at turn two with Baker falling into second over Paul Davis, Gary Fisher, and Tim Deutsch. Davis was second at the end of two laps when Deutsch and Baker got together in turn two, losing ground but staying under power. Tom Teed and Art Edwards spun in turns three and four at lap five. Watson, Davis, Deutsch, Fisher, and Jamie Duncan brought the race back to green with Randy Wyatt coming to fifth on the back stretch, the fourth at the end of six laps. On the back straight at lap seven Davis got the lead but had problems, falling back behind Watson and Deutsch. Watson had a 3.029 lead at eight laps. The order was the. Watson, Deutsch, Davis, Wyant, and Larry Kugel. Tyler Wyatt spun at turn four with five to go. Then Jamie Duncan had a mechanical issue and slid to a stop entering turn three. One more caution occurred at lap twelve when Charlie McMillen spun in turn two. Watson, Deutsch, and Davis raced three-wide for the lead with Watson barely ahead at two to go but Davis came roaring back to the lead before the checkers fell, winning by .044 second over Watson, Randy Wyatt, Deutsch, and Jason Covey.
