Chillicothe, OHIO
(July 24, 2010) - A
wild night of high-speed, high-quality racing highlighted the
action at Jeff and Vickie Schrader's K-C
Raceway Saturday night where a huge crowd convened
for "Fan
Appreciation Night". Capturing the second annual "Tecumseh" was
Vandalia, Ohio driver Jimmy Stinson, while Kenny Johnson won the
AMRA Modified "Tomahawk 20" and Jamie Adams swept the
Dan Reno "Broken Arrow 18". In the second of two AMRA
Modified features Jeremy Rayburn, Lucasville, Ohio picked up the
popular win.
They say races aren't won on the first lap, but Kenny Johnson, Parkersburg,
WV proved everyone wrong in the first of two AMRA Advanced Services Modified
features.
Dubbed the "Tomahawk 20" Johnson squeezed between the wall and pole-sitter
Rob Stambaugh on a three-wide start that saw Dave Pinkerton on the inner-most
part of a spectacular start.
Johnson brought the fans to their feet once again on lap eleven when he came
within a sliver of the turn four wall, passing two backmarkers in the process.
The pass separated him from second place Stambaugh by about ten car lenths. A
lap 14 caution for the disabled mount of Adam Lawson changed the complexion of
the race. On the restart Stambaugh pressured Johnson to the inside, but the Southside
Flyer rode the rim to a spectacular win.
Rick Hensley, Fireball Pinkerton, Jeremy Rayburn and Bob Crace scrapped hard
for position back in the pack. Stambaugh sat comfortably in second, but the fight
for third was the race of the night. When the dust had settled it was Johnson,
Stambaugh, Hensley, Fireball Pinkerton, Greg Anderson, Jeremy Rayburn, Brian
Whiteman, Bud Frazier, Tim Rayburn, Bob Crace, Jr., and Luke Jordon.
The victorious Johnson said, "I'd like to thank my 'High Side'
fans and on this Fan Appreciation Night. This is one driver who appreciates
the fans.
I'd also like to thank Tim Cooper for all his help and Chad Nelson for helping
me get to victory lane."
Referring to 'no marks' on his rear quarter panel, Johnson said, "Yes,
I like like the high side. Right now it's clean, but I might have to use
it in
the second feature. (laughing)."
In the Dan Reno Hobby Stocks Tommy Mossbarger jumped into the early lead as Roger
Mossbarger, Brandon Thompson, and Jamie Adams went three wide for second place.
Adams took over second on lap four, but Mossbarger and Thompson reclaimed second
and third the next time around.
A little paint trading highlighted the tight competition, but when it was said
and done Adams again brought home the win. Behind Adams were Tommy Mossbarger,
Thompson, Joe Williams, Richard Trego, Mike Brust, Bruce Gray, Jr., Jayme Dailey,
Mike Johnson, Robert Walker, and Tim Cutler.
After three exciting heats involveing 34 quality sprint cars in the
Goodyear 410 Sprint Feature, "The Tecumseh" field was set.
Ryan Myers took the initial lead only to have Australian visitor Trevor
Green (In Danny Smith's #4)
take over at the completion of lap one. Myers tried Green several times, but
couldn't make it stick as Jimmy Stinson, Nick Naber, Cole Duncan and Jimmy
Nier fought furiously for third. Stinson then took over second and began
to run down
Green. A lap seven spin by Alec Martin collected Kory Crabtree.
Naber took over third on the restart with Nier in tow. Stinson pestered Green
for the next three laps finally taking over the lead and blitzing to an eight
car-length lead.
On lap 13 Dallas Hewitt caught the turn one wall and flipped the Charlie Brown
Sprinter hard through turn two. Hewitt was initially shaken, but emerged from
the 99 under his own power.
Cole Duncan and Sheldon Haudenshchild rode the high side toward the top five
as two-wide, sometimes three-wide racing was again the norm for position. On
the restart Stinson saw Green dive low but scrub off the neede speed for the
pass. A scary high speed spin involving Adam Strausser and Ryan Myers went half
the length of the backchute, but fortunately the entire field took evasive action.
Nier took second as Billy Jarrell cars took the top two spots. Sheldon
Haudenschild blitzed into sixthas Kody kinser blasted by on the lowside
to fourth. The two
second generation drivers were on "GO" as Kinser took over fourth
from Naber on the last lap.
Stinson said, "I couldn't see behind me but I knew the car was working
good on the high side so I didn't let up. That was a hard twenty-five laps."
Stinson continued, "I'd like to thank Billy Jarrell for the great
equipment and Jamie Miller for all his hard work on this car. Actually,
I put the wrong
left tire on the car before the feature and Andre Layfield's girlfriend pointed
it out. I guess I need to thank her too, cause we had it right when I hit the
track."
Rounding out the top ten behind third place Green, were Kinser, Naber, Sheldon
Haudenschild, Cole Duncan, Josh Davis, Andre Layfield, and Travis Philo. Layfield
and Philo both had good runs into the top ten after deep starts in the field.
On the start of the second AMRA main a wild melee collected several cars, including
the flipping #8 of Dave Fireball Pinkerton. Bub Frazier, Rob Stambaugh, and Dale
Lyons were also collected in the fray. All but Pinkerton and Frazier were able
to continue.
Bob Crace, Jr. jumped into the early lead with Jeremy Rayburn close in tow. That
duo put on a great show, while deep in the pack Kenny Johnson again brought the
crowd to life with a rim-riding charge from 11th to fourth by lap five.
On lap six, in a bid for third, Johnson jumped the cushion and was relegated
to the tail. Tim Rayburn had just taken over the lead over Crace as Sean Schobelock
anchored down third.
Hensley bagged Schobelock and on lap ten took over second from Crace. One lap
later Crace regained the spot igniting a position swapping battle that last for
several laps. By lap 14 Johnson was back up to fourth, but his run ended there
as Crace was able to shut the door and clamp down third.
Rayburn rolled on to the win aboard his #12 Estes Engines/Lightning
Chassis. Rayburn said, "It was a battle. The car was great. I hit
the wall in the first feature and didn't even know if we could get it
ready for this one. From
there things just fell into place."
Rounding out the top ten behind Rayburn, were Hensley, Bob Crace, Jr., Johnson,
Luke Jordon, Tim Tribby, Whiteman, Stambaugh, Derrick Smith, and Jason Cottrill.
