Kil-Kare
By Jerry Wahl
Xenia, OH. (8/11) - It was a full night of racing
Friday night at Kil-Kare Speedway with six different drivers
visiting victory lane on EMT/Firefighters night.
Eaton's Bill Burba claimed his first NASCAR
Dodge Weekly Series Lang's Chevrolet/Mazda sponsored late models
feature in an event that ran the entire thirty laps without a
caution. John Vallo and Tony Brunke brought the field to the line
for the start with Burba starting third. Vallo put his "Black Widow"
out front the first four laps as Burba moved into second and passed
Vallo for the lead. Vallo continued to hold on to second but third
running Brunke was being challenged by fast timer Tim Allensworth
who started seventh. Allensworth dropped Brunke to fourth on lap
eight and then set his sights on Vallo, dropping him to third on lap
ten. Burba had a decent lead but the rapid moving Allensworht was
closing in on him when the checker. Allensworth, winner of the
Dayton 100 the previous week claimed the runner up honors with third
going to Vallo while Brunke was fourth and Dick Dunlevy fifth.
Allensworth had fast time of 13.951 with the
heat wins going to Vallo and Russ Bobb.
The Muffler Brothers of Xenia sponsored
modifieds almost made it non stop. Shawn Stroble and Terry Humphrey
took advantage of their front row starting slots with Stroble, of
Urbana taking the lead in his Sutphen Towers sponsored machine.
Humphrey dropped in right behind him in his Humphrey Engine Service
machine with the duo running almost bumper to bumper all the way.
Five time winner Shawn Gray advanced to claim third with previous
weeks winner Jason Mahaffey fourth and the "Flying Fireman" Ralph
Harrod fifth. Action was red flagged on lap twenty-eight when the
cars of Charlie Davis, Derek Weatherhead, and Barret Tamasovich
crashed hard on turn one which put all three cars out.
Rookie Derek Weatherhead had fast time of
14.132. Heat winners were Terry Humphrey and Neil McClelland.
Mike South Jr. might have had fast time in the
Kil-Kare sport stocks but it was Xenia's Tom Williams in his
Vogelsong Chiropractic sponsored machine visiting victory lane for
the fifth time this year in the twenty lap feature. Jeff Marsh in
his Superior Auto Sales Camaro chased Williams all the way to the
checker to claim second with third going to Bret Clark. Previous
weeks winner Shane Williams claimed fourth with Derek Louderbach
fifth.
Mike South Jr. was fast timer at 15.347.
In the Oakley Blacktop sponsored compact class
the Walton-Haerr show continued as the two claimed the first two
spots. Haerr and his Mahaffey Auto Salvage sponsored car racked up
feature win number three while Walton who claimed his fifth win the
previous week was runner-up in his Affordable Auto Parts sponsored
car. Early leader Matt Jackson was third with Bo Hoelscher fourth
and Paul Holley fifth.
It was a good night for Franklin's Sloan
Henderson as the fourteen year old claimed her KOIL Bandolero heat
and then came back to win the fifteen lap feature. John Meyers,
winner of the other heat led the first three laps of the feature but
from then on it Sloan to the checker with Matt Kussmaul taking
second with Meyers third. Ronnie Bassett and Justin Campbell rounded
out the top five.
Twenty cars started the KOIL Legend Car feature
with John Larkin taking the lead with Jason Dunn dropping into
second. Larkin continued to lead but Bryan Nuckles was on the move
with a mad charge to the front. Nuckles took over second on lap
eight and then put his Columbus Motor Speedway sponsored machine
ahead of Larkin. Larkin didn't take getting passed lightly as he
pressured Nuckles resulting with contact and Nuckles spinning. Both
were sent to the tail end for the restart which put Jason Dunn in
the lead. Dunn took the win, his first at Kil-Kare but it wasn't
easy as Toby Alfrey was right on his bumper for second. Brandon Dunn
was third followed by Rob Jones and Jeff Denney.
Heat winners were Larkin and Nuckles.
The EMT/Firefighters race was full of action
with the winning team being the Spring Valley Township team who
donated the $500 prize money to Miami Valley Hospitals Careflight in
appreciation of the service they provide.
