Dunlevy Two In A
Row At Kil-Kare
by Jerry
Wahl
Xenia,
OH (4/15) - As the ole saying goes, give Dunlevy and inch
and he will take a mile and that seemed to be the story
Friday night at Kil-Kare Speedway in the 40 lap $600 to win
E-Mod feature.
Friendly rivals Kim Dill and Don Fleming Jr. brought the
field to the starting line only to see the yellow come out
shortly after the green when Derek Barnette spun on turn
four and exited to the pits. On the restart Fleming surged
ahead with Jason Mahaffey coming from fourth to second but
here they came, Mike Carroll and Dick Dunlevy Jr.
Carroll started fifth and fast qualifier Dunlevy started
nineth but by lap three the two were in command of the front
two spots with Carroll leading and Dunlevy second just like
the week before. Carroll led with Dunlevy stalking him and
just like the previous week he made an inside pass between
turns one and two to show as the leader on lap twelve. They
continued to run that way to the checker with Dunlevy
picking up his second straight win and Carroll his second
brides maid finish, second. Jason Mahaffey had been running
a strong third until an oil leak sent flames shooting from
his car. Don Fleming took over third and as the laps wound
down, Kim Dill moved up to challenge Fleming and placed
third with Fleming fourth and fifth was Shawn Stroble.
In the
NASCAR Dodge Weekly Series Late Models Ricky Bates who won
the feature one year ago on this week-end looked like he
just might repeat his win but it was not to be. Bates and
veteran driver Dave Brandenburg set the pace for the start
with Bates taking the lead with Brandenburg second. Bates
put some distance between he and Brandenburg
After
a lap thirteen mixup that eliminated fourth place running
Mike Miller, sixth place starter Tony Brunke was on the
prowl, passing on the outside as he usually does.
Brandenburg spun on lap twenty-two moving Brunke into second
on the restart and two laps later he was in front. Brunke
took the win with Bates second, last years champ Sam Heckman
third followed by fast timer Don Mahaffey and fifth was
previous weeks winner Virgil Powell.
Kenny
Snyder had fast time in the mini stocks/sports trucks
however it was fourth place starter Gary Eaton Jr. out front
on the second lap and looked to be on his way to the feature
win. snyder had other ideas for he and his Mustang as he
closed in on Eaton, passing him on the outside on lap
thirteen for the lead and his second straight win. Eaton was
second with Shawn Sparkman third, Matt Potter fourth, and
John Morris fifth.
The
pure stock feature was filled with plenty of door to door,
bumper to bumper action and in the end Shawn Stansell was
one happy driver as he scored his first ever feature win.
Stansell may have led every lap but he had a bunch of hungry
drivers right behind him with some six drivers battling for
position. When the checker was it was former champ Jeff
Marsh coming from sixth to claim runner-up with eighth place
starter Jamie Sites claiming third for the second week in a
row. Previous weeks winner Heath White was fourth and last
years champ Tom Williams was fifth.
In the
wild compacts Randall Walton led the first lap with Dave
Lecocq showing as the leader for the next six laps. In the
meantime, past champ Tim Haerr who started eighth as he
chased down Donald Page for second on lap six and then
passed Lecocq for the lead and win. Page was second with
Lecocq third followed by previous weeks winner Allan
Campbell and Brett Boykin.
Next

night, and all classes in the NASCAR Dodge Weekly series
with the gates opening at 6 p.m. and Legends heats at 7:30
p.m.
