by Jerry Wahl
 
Xenia, OH. (8/17)  Shawn Stroble and Derek Weatherhead started on the front row of the Muffler Brothers of Xenia modified feature Friday night at Kil-Kare Speedway with Stroble jumping into the lead . From that point on Stroble never gave up the lead but it was not an easy win as previous weeks winner Terry Humphrey was dogging Stroble right down to the checker.  Stroble, of Urbana claimed his second win of the year.. Humphrey tried an inside pass but Stroble was able to shakie him off with Humphrey claiming second. Derek Weatherhead ran right with the leaders to finish third. After that it was a fight for the next positions between Mike Miller, Jack Jones, and Gary Eaton Jr. When the checker waved it was Jones fourth and fifth was Miller.
  Heat wins went to Shawn Stansell and Jamie Brenneman who claimed her first modified heat win.
  The sport stock feature was a dog fight all twenty laps between Dave Lecocq and Justin Miller as five time winner Lecocq led the first nineteen laps but when the checker waved it was Miller beating Lecocq by a mere.023 seconds over Lecocq in one of closes finishes of the season. For Miller it was his first feature win at Kil-Kare in the sport stock division. Heath White picked off his opponents one by one from his seventh place starting slot to claim third while Mike South Sr. was fourth and his son Mike South Jr. was fifth.
  Jay Lakins claimed his first heat win of the year while the second heat went to Derek Louderbach.
  It was compact Super Friday for the front wheel drive Oakley Blacktop compacts with $250 up for grabs to the winner of the forty lap feature. Twenty nine cars took starter Mike Stapleton's green flag with Aaron Harshbarger taking the lead on the first lap and that is just where he stayed to collect his first feature win. Traffic was heavy but Harshbarger did an excellent job weeding his way around the slower cars. Randy Walton and Tim Haerr battled  for second with Haerr claiming runner-up money and Walton third. Fourth was Gary Williams with Bo Hoelscher fifth.
  In the twenty five lap KOIL Legends feature fifth place starter Bryan Nuckles stole the lead on lap three from front row starter Corey Smith. Adam Roberts took over second place only to be sent to the tail after a mix up on lap sixteen. Toby Alfrey moved up from his sixth place starting slot to put the pressure on Nuckles but just could not muster up enough speed to as settled for second place money. Third was Smith followed by Travis Boomer with Roberts coming all the way up from his tail end penalty to finish fifth.
  The fifteen lap KOIL Bandoloers feature saw heat winner Dustin Sword claim his second feature in a row. Justin Campbell was a distance second followed by Brandon Nelson, Tyler Poe, and Jake Dunsmore.
  Heat wins went to Dustin Sword and Justin Campbell.
  The late model feature was the last event on the program with seventeen cars lining up for the start however the event was short lived as a two car pile-up occured on the first lap. Considering the lateness of the night and the time to clear the track, track officials  postponed the event until August 31 at which time the late models will run double features.
  Next Friday night will be a busy one as the fans will see the second appearance of the big school bus Figure-8 and demolition derby plus the usual Friday night divisions will see action. The gates will open at 6 p.m. and racing at 8 p.m. The next week will have race car rides for the kids which is an exciting night for the young fans.
