Racing Round Up

Rain has played havoc on racing this spring, especially merciless on Saturday shows.  Fridays have been hit and miss, and that cold snap didn't help.  A few of last weekends highlights:

• Toledo Speedway, 7-Up Twin 100s.  Sunday afternoon, April 29 saw 60 Late Models at the high banked paved 1/2 mile.  Thirty-five entered the ARCA/CRA Super Series Late Model Tour for Template Late Models.  Brian Campbell bested the field over Boris Jurkovic, Johnny VanDoorn, Alec Carll, and Becca Kasten, up from 25th starting slot.  The ARCA Allegiant Gold Cup Late Model Series for Outlaw Late Models saw 25 entrants, with Terry Senneker dominating, over Steve Needles, Mike Root, fast timer J.R. Roarhig and Dakota Carlson.
• Dirt fans have been itching for a local Late Model show, as Pittsburgh's Pennsylvania Motor Speedway and Sharon Speedway have been beset with Saturday rainouts, Sharon three in a row.  Pittsburgh has gone with a Sunday rain date starting one hour earlier and got a show in last Sunday.  Michael Norris picked up the Super Late Model win over John Garvin, Keith Barbara, Tony Musolino and Daryl Charlier.  The Pro Late/FASTRAK Late Models saw Garvin win his his crate car, over Kyle Lukon, Tommy Schirnhofer, Will Thomas in only his second PPMS start, and Laura Lukon.
• Wayne County Speedway continued it's successful ways in last Friday's four division show on the 3/8 mile dirt.  Caleb Helms took the Sprint feature over Cole Duncan.  In the Super Lates, it was Shane McLoughlin picking up the win over Corey Conley, George Lee, Ryan Markham, and Rick Bond.
• Kil-Kare Speedway down Dayton way raced Friday also, with Justin Alsip winning in the Late Models.  Interesting little note, both Friday paved tracks - Kil-Kare and Barberton - each had eight cars in Late Models, but a Sibila entered in each.  Bobby finished second at K-K, while Rick, in promoter Jake Francis' car after his own #63 broke early, finished 6th. 
• Friday night hallmark, Lernerville's Fab Four show had winners Brian Ellenberger (Sprints), Kevin Bolland(DIRT Mods), Gregg Satterlee(Super Lates) and Carey McPherson(Sportsman).
