Records Shattered
Fremont, In (August 14, 2010) - The Angola Motor Speedway and Everage Motor Sports
team shattered some records on a packed crowd at the historic race
track. The stands were packed with over 2,000 people in the grand
stands, which caused the Everage Motor Sports team having to open
up the pit area grand stands to help with the over flow. The greatest
fans in the world also eat us out of house and home through the
entire night that saw over 1,200 hot dogs sold in less than 2 hours.
So in total there were 1400 Hot Dogs eaten and 2000 adult beverages
drank through the entire night. The pits were jammed with a great
car count and 12 trailer racers that brought the fans to there
feet.
The Super Pro Series was on hand featuring many of the stars and
cars of the Angola Motor Speedway that saw Ohio driver Jason Dietsch
set fast time besting the 16 car field with a lap 93.698 MPH. The
race went green with local racer Rick Everidge take off and lead
over 70 laps. While Everidge lead the battle was heating up behind
him with “Hollywood” Tommy Cook, “Smooth” Al
Cook, Jr., Jason Dietsch, Cluade Plant, and Mike Kugler. Dietsch
and Plant got together a little after the half way point that sent
both drivers to the rear of the field. Mike Kugler then got tangled
up with another driver that would send him to the pit area for
the night. Tommy Cook and Al Cook then turned on the pressure cooker
on the race leader Everidge. For several laps they battled side
by side and even made contact on a few occasions. Tommy Cook did
a slide job under Everidge with over 20 laps to go to pick up the
lead and the win over Everidge, Al Cook, Jr., Dietsch, Plant, Matt
Hall, Kevin Todd, Dave Bice, Regan May, and Paul Freeland rounding
out the top 10 finishers.
The Everage Auto Mini Stocks saw Jake Hinton take fast time with
a lap 76.976 MPH besting the 20 car field. The Johnny on the Spot
FWD’s saw KC Spillers set fast with a lap of 74.009 MPH.
Corey Nuttle, Cody Spears, Gavin Dubios picked up the three heat
races on the night. The 20 Lap combined feature saw Cliff Bennett
charge to the front in the first lap and half to take the lead.
Jake Hinton and Kedrin Holiday had to work there way through field
while Bennett chose the high line around the speedway and got up
there faster. Hinton tried to run down the race leader, but just
came up short across the line with Bennett picking up the win over
Hinton, Holiday, Jimmy Jones, Cody Spears, Caste
en Everidge, John Sattison, Nick Spears, Jimmy Musser, and Nic
Weimer rounding out the top 10. The Johnny on the Spot FWD’s
saw KC Spillers take the win.
The Superior Auto Modifieds saw Jason Timmerman set fast time
with a lap of 90.235 MPH besting the 20 car field. The 10 lap heat
races saw Thomas Blackburn and Steve Minich, Jr. take the wins.
The 30 lap main event only took 13 minutes and 40 seconds to complete
with only one caution flag flying during the race. Minich, Jr.,
took command of the feature early to take the win over Bud Adams,
John Gearheart, Jason Timmerman, Justin Kazmar, Bud Perry, Tony
Dager, Tom Weidman, Travis Stepp, and Dave Nester rounding out
the top 10 finishers.
The Champ Karts were also on hand to put on a show for the packed
house. The heat race saw Kyle Aldrich take the win over Jeremy
Howe, and Mikaya Best to round out the top 3 finishers. The 10
lap feature saw Howe take the win over Aldrich, Brandon Mast, Dan
Eyster, and Best to round out the top five. The battle of the race
was for the last two spots that had the crowd on there feet when
Landon Ferrier pasted Ayderi Ferrier to take the spot from the
youngster.
The Main Event in which all the fans packed the house to see was
the Figure 8 Trailer races that saw 12 drivers take the green flag.
The crowd was on their feet for the entire 20 lap event which saw
Craig Everage take the lead early only to have his brother Gary
Everage take the lead from him. Gary Everage was leading the event
before a red flag waved as the leader went flying over the back
stretch with trailer still intact after the willed ride. That gave
the lead back to Craig Everage before he was crashed into the front
stretch wall which then gave the lead to Larry Henderson before
he was forced to retire with a flat tire on his station wagon.
That left Jeff Bierly and Scott Wooster battling for the lead on
the last lap that saw Scott Wooster take the win over Bierley .
The Everage Motor Sports Tour would like to thank the Hawk 1140
