Moler Raceway Park for Friday June 17, 2011
American Late Model Series visits MRP.
6-17-11, Williamsburg, Oh - The racing action at Moler Raceway Park started with some bonus racing as the “Big Red Book” street stock special from June 10th was run prior to the evening racing program. It looked like Bruce Gray Jr was going to take his first feature win at Moler Raceway Park as he led the first fifteen laps before spinning in traffic. From that restart on it was all Jamey Adams, as the Laurelville Ohio resident was able to take his second feature victory of the season. Jim Helterbran, Bub Balsley, Brandon Mather , and Shannon Enoch would round out the top five positions.
In the Sunoco American Late Model Series it was Chad Stapleton setting the fast time of the night and setting the stage for the heat race action. In the heat races it was Coleman, Michigan’s Curtis Roberts taking heat # 1 while Clarklake Michigan’s Brian Ruhlman was victorious in the second heat. In the 40 lap A-Main it was Roberts and Stapleton bringing the field around to the green flag with Roberts jumping out front. By lap eight it was Sardinia, Ohio’s Barry Doss jumping up to second position from his sixth starting spot and he and Roberts waged a furious battle for the top spot with Doss actually taking over the top spot but a spinning car in back of the pack brought out a caution and relegated Doss back to second spot. On the restart it was all Curtis Roberts as he was never really challenged again in his K&M Recyclers, SMR Recycling machine as he won at MRP for the second year in a row in the Sunoco American Late Model Series. Doss came home second while Jason Jameson, JR Hotovy, and Derek Fisher rounded out the top five positions.
In the Mount Orab Ford Modifieds it was Weasel Rhodes’ night as the veteran racer was able to take his first win at MRP in his Stricker Auto Parts, Lightning Chassis, Cropper Race Engines machine. Aurora, Indiana’s Matt Hamilton came home second with Randy Wash, Dave McWilliams and Doug Adkins rounding out the top five spots in the feature event. In preliminary action it was Wash, Rhodes, and Nick Hodges claiming heat race wins while Devin Gilpin was able to take the B-main victory.
In the regularly scheduled Big Red Book Street Stocks it was Jim Helterbran claiming his first victory at MRP with a wire-to-wire victory in the fifteen lap event. Adams came home second with Jeremie Scott, Bruce Gray Jr, and Brandon Mather rounding out the top five positions. Helterbran and Bill Crabtree claimed the heat race wins.
The Holman Motors Chevettes it was a familiar face reaching victory lane as Rusty Yarger was able to take his Roquet Signs, Wilson Body Shop machine to victory lane for the second time this season. Yarger led every lap but he just barely held off the hard charging Miles Tarvin for the win. Josh Francis came home third followed by Jeff Watson and Sean Jones. In heat race action it was Jason Hoskins, Francis, and Yarger taking the wins.
