Josh Crull and Lee Meyers were on the front row of the Spectator feature and
Meyers took the early lead with Crull second. Todd Bacon came from fifth to
second on the second lap as Meyers moved away from the rest of the field. The
first yellow of the event collected Cody Bliss and Matt Sampson. A three car
tangle ended the restart in turn two with Ken Lamp Jr., Sam Conti and Jason
Covey involved. Mohawk spun collecting Mike Moon and Paul Nelson for yellow
number three. Moon was second in points and Nelson was the point leader. Lap six
ended with Moon facing the wrong direction in turn three for the fourth yellow.
Moon had to beat Nelson by 7 spots to have a chance at the point championship
but was now last in the field with Nelson four positions ahead. A spinner slowed
the race on lap 7 with Myers still in control. Brian Crandall was third and
Bacon second. Meyers completed the final lap for his first win of the season and
Nelson won the point race for his first Spectator championship.
A multi-car incident on lap three of the Outlaw
Cadet Double point feature event collected nearly half the field. Tyler Green
was the leader with Chad Carlson second and Steve Kania third. Carlson passed
Kania on lap four and had Green squarely in his sights. Carlson was the point
leader and second in points Ryan Scott in fourth. At the half way point Carlson
ad settled into second trailing Green by two car lengths with Kania about five
lengths back in third. Carlson was looking for away around Green when Stan Davis
Jr. spun in turn four for the second yellow with twelve of the twenty laps
complete. Carlson muscled under Green on lap sixteen and Green came back for the
lead as the lap ended. Green took the white along side Carlson who made his
final charge beating Green to the checkers locking up the Outlaw Cadet
Championship.
Rich Gardner was on the pole and became the
early leader in the Super Late Model feature with Scott Gurdak second and John
Lacki third. Chris Hackett second and point and Dutch Davies the point leader
were fourth and fifth. Gurdak was on a mission and was alongside the leader on
lap six and led by a nose on lap eight. Gardner did give up fighting back to the
lead on the next lap. Hackett was third with Davies fourth and Lacki being
pushed by Randy Lobb for fifth. Gurdak began to slow letting both Hackett and
Davie by with 10 laps remaining. David Scott became a player moving into firth
with six laps remaining. Eck slowed on the speedway with two laps remaining for
the first yellow of the race. Gardner’s lead disappeared as the field closed
with him for the final two laps. Davies was second with Hackett third, Scott
fourth and Gurdak fifth. Bumping and banging on the restart ended with Darrel
Bossard sideways in turn four for yellow two. Gardner took the white then Greg
Oakes had problems setting up a one lap dash for the win. All Davies had to do
to win the championship was keep Hackett in sight. Davies made the right moves
in turn three after Gardner left the bottom open to nip Gardner at the line for
the win and assuring the point title.
Wade Watson quickly build a sizeable lead over the
Super Sportsman feature which disappeared when Brent Crandall spun in turn four
with three laps complete. Watson remained the leader after the restart with
Clint Brady second and Allen Haskins third. Point leader Joe Buccola Jr. was
racing with Dan Nocero for fourth. Nocero passed Brady for the runner up spot
with five laps remaining but fell ten car lengths short of catching Watson. It
was Watson’s first win of the season and Joe Buccola Jr. clinched the Sportsman
Championship.
Wendell Pinckney tangled with the back stretch fence
on the first lap of the Crate Late Model event causing a complete restart. Ed
Carley and John Haggerty were on the front row with Kyle Scott last week’s
winner and Matt Harvey in row two. John Haggerty tucked in behind Carley on the
start. Scott nearly ran over Haggerty as the lap ended causing the field to
scramble leaving Pinckney sideways in turn three for yellow two. After the third
attempt lap one was finally complete with Carley, John Haggerty and Scott were
the leaders. Pinckney spun causing caution three with four laps down. Yellow
three followed four laps later as Brian Haggerty had spun between turns three
and four. Dennis Lunger lost a right rear wheel with nine laps complete. Carley
was firmly in control with John Haggerty a distant second followed by Chad
Valone, Lacki and Steve Dixon. Pinckney, Brad Mesler and Brian Haggerty caused
the sixth yellow leaving five laps to go. Dixon started a charge on the restart
getting to third in one lap to challenge John Haggerty for second. When the
checkers flew Carley became the first Crate Champion at Stateline after his
third win.
Leonard Enos was the first across the line in
the E-Mod feature. Dan Davies stopped up against the turn three fence causing
the first yellow. One lap was complete with Enos, Tim Peterson, Dave Lyon, Dave
Shagla and John Boardman the leaders. John Boyd, Randy Raynor and Ben Asel were
caught up in a wreck on the restart for yellow three. Ron Seeley made hard
contact with the turn three fence with three laps complete for yellow four. Lyon
was second after the restart as Enos continued to lead. At the halfway mark Enos
was five car lengths ahead of Lyon with Peterson third and Brent Rhebergen
fourth. With five to go Rhebergen was a distant third as Lyon chased Enos. Lyon
caught Enos on the final lap but could not make the pass giving Enos his first
win in an E-Mod. Greg Johnson was crowned the point Champion.
