to notch his third win of the season.

Outlaw Cadet win.
Stephanie Hilyer came from eighth to win the Lady
Challenger feature.
Jamie Hebner won the first Super Challenger feature

Shannon Burgun won the Powder Puff race.
Lester Shoff and Sam Courson led
27 Spectators out their feature event. Paul Nelson and Randy Johnson were in row
two with Jerry Fish and Kevin Hill in row three. The entire field was inverted
so King of the Hill and 2009 Point Champ Brandon Groters started last. A multi
car pile up at the end of lap two collected Matt Harvey, Mike Moon, Brandon
Pierce and several others. Shoff was the race leader with Courson second and
Nelson third. The second yellow occurred with four laps complete for the second
place car of Courson. Dave Tackett Jr. was second after the restart and
immediately began pressuring Rotunda for the top spot. Aron Dascomb was third
from his 21st starting spot with five laps remaining and Kyle
Bradigan was fourth. A three car incident brought out the third yellow with
twelve of the fifteen laps complete. Shoff took the two to go signal with a ten
car length lead over Tacket. Tacket lost two spots on the final lap finishing
fourth as Shoff won his first race of the season.
2009
E-mod Champ Justin Carlson led the first circuit of their feature event from his
second starting spot and then the yellow flew for Jason Genco. Greg Johnson was
second with Tom Hagberg third and Rich Michael Jr. fourth. Chris Couchenour
brought out the second caution with two laps complete. Carlson just nipped
Johnson to lead lap four then during lap five the third yellow appeared with
Genco, Michael McGee and Jaben Hill involved. Carlson, Johnson, Michael, Rich
Gardner and Hagberg were the leaders. Dave Lyon used the restart to quickly pass
Hagberg then Gardner and Michael to take over the third spot. Yellow four
occurred with five laps complete. Johnson was the new leader after the lap six
restart with Carlson second, Michael third and Lyon fourth. Lyon took third on
lap seven and was working on Carlson when the yellow flew for Anthony Marotto
stopped on the back stretch. Johnson, Carlson, Lyon, Gardner and Michael were
the top five. Yellow six happened for Nathan Hall with eight laps complete but
as the field slowed the leaders made contact and Lyon, Hagberg, and Carlson were
collected. Lyon pulled into the pits during the yellow the others were given
their spots back as the yellow was already out when they tangled. Johnson was
able to move away from the field after the restart and Hagberg pulled into the
infield ending his run. With five laps remaining Johnson led Carlson by half a
straight with Gardner and Michael fighting for third. Michael gained the spot
with three laps remaining the yellow flew for Cale Crocker. Just one more lap
was completed and the yellow this time was for Shane Crotty and Jeremy
Bucktooth. No one was able to challenge Johnson over the last two circuits
giving him his third win of the season.
Darrell
Bossard and Randy Lobb led the Super Late Models to the speedway for their
feature event. Pete Alspaugh and Dick Barton were in row two. Bossard led the
first lap and the yellow flew for Chris Hackett who had slowed with a flat.
Barton tested Bossard on the restart but could not make the pass and Alspaugh
settled into the third spot trailed closely by Rod Maloy. Ed Carley had trouble
navigating turn four with four laps complete for the second yellow of the race.
Lobb was fifth for the restart with 2009 Point Champ Chad Valone sixth, Bump
Hedman seventh and Scott Johnson eighth. Barton made the pass stick on the
restart to become the new leader. Maloy moved along side Bossard and the yellow
flew one more as Hedman was facing the wrong direction in turn two. Barton,
Bossard, Maloy, Valone, Alspaugh and Lobb were the restart leaders. As the green
dropped Paul Grigsby spun collecting Ed Carley for caution four. Doug Eck
stopped on the front stretch during the yellow and had to be towed from the
track. Barton pulled away from the field and led by half a straight at the end
of ten laps. Maloy finally bested Bossard for the runner up spot and Valone was
solidly in fourth. Barton had clear sailing but lost a little ground to Maloy
with nine laps of the twenty-five remaining. With five laps to go Barton was
closing on lap traffic and Maloy was back just five car lengths. Barton and
Maloy were both running on the bottom and with two laps to go Maloy had not been
able to get any closer to Barton. Barton took the win his 73rd at
Stateline Speedway.
Joe
Buccola Jr. took full advantage of his starting row spot to become the leader of
the Super Sportsman feature. A five car tangle with four laps compete brought
out the first caution. Two more laps were complete when the second yellow
appeared. 2009 point champ John Boardman moved up to challenge Buccola and on
lap nine became the new leader. Tom Kosinski ran afoul of track tire for caution
three with twelve laps complete. Boardman finished the year as he started in the
winners circle.
Point
Champ Mike Moore and last weeks winner Tyler Green made up the Outlaw Cadet
front row with Kelly Frederes and Steve Moynihan in row two. Moore was first
back to the line to lead lap one. The race stayed green and at the half way
point Moore led Green by fifteen car lengths. A spin by Dave Tacket Jr. with
nine laps compete caused the first yellow of the event then the third with
twelve laps complete. The final laps were uneventful for the veteran Moore for
his fifth win in 2009.
