Whipkey
Claims MERS Carter Lumber 100 lapper
by Jerry Wahl
Xenia, OH. (6) - The weather may have been extra
hot at Kil-Kare Speedway Friday but also was the action on the track as the
Carter Lumber sponsored super late model Main Event Racing Series (MERS) made
their annual stop as well as a special 40 lap feature for the modifieds paying
$800 highlighted the program.
The first event on the program was the
twenty lap sport stock feature with Tony Cottrill and Steve Salyers leading
the field to starter Mike Stapleton's green flag. Salyer merged ahead but
fourth place starter Justin Miller moved up to challenge him. But by lap two
fast timer Mike Miller (14.901) was putting the pressure on his brother.
Mike made an attempt to pass on the outside but Justin shook him off. Justin,
the winner of the last feature continued to hold off Mike at the halfway point
but leadfoot Mike came across the line in the lead on lap twelve. Fifth place
starter Mike South Jr. then closed in on Justin as the laps wound down and the
field lapped Cottrill. On lap seventeen Justin lost control coming out of turn
four, spinning into the infield bringing out the caution and Justin sent to
the tail. With three laps to go Mike had South right on is rear bumper but was
able to pull away from South for his first win of the year in the Combined
Racing special. South was second with Salyers third while Justin came back up
to claim fourth and fifth was Mel McMullen.
Next was the first heat of the Oakley
Blacktop compacts with Rodney Terry and Jesse Drook in the front row. It was
bump and go at the start as the drivers charged into turn one. By the time
they reached turn four Terry spun in front of the field with Drook, with
nowhere to go struck Terry putting Drook out of action with front-end damage
but Terry was able to continue. With a complete restart Bo Hoelscher shot into
the lead as Terry faded to third. Chris Boggs moved into second while Tim
Haerr moved up through the pack to third spot as the drivers finished in that
order.
The second heat saw David Sagers and Chris
Clark lead the pack to the green. Sagers took the lead as Bryan Lynch came on
strong from fifth. At the checker it was David Boyle taking the checker first
followed by Lynch, Joe Hoelscher, and Davey Shaw.
Midifieds was next up for their first heat
with Jerry Stapleton taking the lead being chased by Gary Eaton. Polesetter
Rodney Kreusch dropped back to third as fast timer Dick dunlevy sailed around
Kreusch on the inside to steal third. As the checker flew it was Stapleton
taking his first win of the year with Eaton second, Dunlevy third, and Chad
Poole fourth.
Caleb Reschar leaped into the lead at the
start of the second heat, putting some distance on the field. Reschar held on
all the way to take the win with Joe Jennings second followed by Josh Smith
and Jamie Brenneman.
The main attraction of the night was the
Carter Lumber MERS 100 lap feature with twenty two cars lined up for the
century grind. After announcer Adam Mackey introduced the drivers John Jenkins and
Paul Pelletier led the field to the green. As the green unfoiled the two ran
side by side with Jenkins finally taking the lead only to see the caution come
out as Doug Sommers and track record holder Chad Poole tangled on turn two
with Poole Sommers both eliminated. Holding down second was Pelletier with
Kyle Jones third, Gary Whipkey fourth and Don Mahaffey fifth when action
resumed.
Jenkins brought the field to the green for
the restart but it was shirt lived as again the yellow flew when John
Stroble spun on turn two. Again the green waved on Jenkins with two laps in
the record book Jenkins continued to lead as Kyle Jones took over second only
to drop out with mechanical woes. Third place running Gary Whipkey was sizing
up second place Pelletier as he closed in on him as they began lapping traffic
by lap twenty-two. Jenkins continued to lead but the next two were chasing him
down, moving closer and closer each lap.
Meanwhile fast timer Dick Dunlevy who
started eighth had his hands full trying to pass fifth place running Don
Mahaffey with Mike Stacy right behind. Lap forty five saw a change in command
as Pelletier slipped by Jenkins coming out of turn four to take the lead
with Whipkey right behind and Jenkins running third. But wait, here
comes Dunlevy, taking fourth spot on lap sixty and then third on lap
sixty-two. With a half a lap between the leaders and Dunlevy, Dunlevy had his
work cut out as he slowly advanced toward the leading Pelletier and Whipkey.
Lap seventy put an end to former leader
Jenkins night as he smacked the turn four wall hard to end his night
after an earlier excellent running night. This was definitely a break veteran
driver Dunlevy needed as it bunched up the field. With thirty laps to go the
stage was set for a terrific showdown but two laps later sixth place running
Mike Stacy was eliminated with a spin on turn one after a battle with Rich
Rohrer.
With seventy-two laps complete the top five
was Pelletier, Whipkey, Dunlevy, Don Harvey, and Mahaffey. Whipkey slid around
for the lead on lap seventy-seven as Harvey took over second with Dunley
third. Lap eighty-three saw the caution fly gain as Rich Rohrer and Don
Mahaffey bumped with Rohrer spinning. Rohrer retained his sixth place
spot as Mahaffey darted into the pits to change a tire, restarting on
the tail. Whipkey continued to lead but Harvey was all over his rear bumper
but Whipkey was able to put a little distance over Harvey. the real battle was
behind third place running Dunlevy with Pelletier, Tim Ice, and Rohrer
battling for spots. Whipkey in the Carter Lumber sponsored machine claimed the
win and the $3,000 first place money with Harvey closing in on him at the
checker for second. Dunlevy held on for third in a close finish with Pelletier
fourth and Tim Ice fifth.
Thanks to Jack Woody Excavating the Oakley
blacktop compact feature paid $60 to win and $40 for second. Rodney Terry and
Bo Hoelscher led the pack to the green with Terry taking the lead but
Hoelscher stole it only to see the caution come out as Steve Barnhart spun
coming out of turn four. On the restart Hoelscher pulled away building up a
big lead as Chris Boggs ran second with Aaron Harshbarger third being
pressured by Tim Haerr. Hoelscher weeded his way through lapped traffic as the
rest battled behind him. Haerr got around Harshbarger on lap ten and
then went after Boggs. Haerr slid inside Boggs for second as he sought leader
Hoelscher. Hoelscher claimed his second win of the year and claimed the $60
first place money. Haerr took home the $40 from Jack Woody Excavating with
Boggs third as Harshbarger and Holli Eaton were next.
The final event of the night was the 40
lap, $800 to win Carter Lumber modified feature with Rodney Kreusch and Jerry
Stapleton leading the field to the green. Stapleton shot into the lead as the
caution came out on lap two as Dewayne Snyder Jr. blew a radiator hose
going out of turn three. On the restart Stapleton stayed in front with Gary
Eaton Jr. moving up on the outside as they dueled side by side only to
see the caution come out due to a spin on the backstretch. Eaton again pulled
aside if Stapleton as they swapped the lead. Stapleton managed to pull off the
front spot with Eaton right behind. The pace was slowed again on lap twelve as
Jason Mahaffey spun on turn one after contact with Jack Jones with Jones sent
to the rear. Fast timer Dick Dunlevy took over fourth on lap fifteen as Mike
Stacy came from way back in the pack to move behind Dunlevy. Bill Burba moved
into second as Eaton faded to fifth. Stacy then went to work on Dunlevy,
passing him on lap twenty-seven and then passed Burba for second and moved on
the outside of Stapleton as they battled. Stacy made his pass good on lap
thirty one as Stapleton drifted up into Stacy on the frontstretch and spun.
Stacy pulled away from the field leaving Burba, Dunlevy, Jack Jones ,Eaton,
and Josh Smith behind. Eaton appeared off the pace as he dropped back and
with two laps to go it was a mad scramble for positions. At the checker it was
Stacy who came from the tail of the eighteen car starting field taking his
first win of the year. Bill Burba had his best feature finish as he was
runner-up followed by dick Dunlevy, Jason Mahaffey, and Jack Jones.
Next Friday night, June 13, the ARCA
Lincoln Welders will make their annual stop at Kil-Kare along with a regular
program with the gates opening at 6 p.m. and racing at 8 p.m. For complete

BIG
NIGHT AT KIL-KARE
by Jerry Wahl
Xenia, OH. (5/30) - It was a big night of racing
at Kil-Kare Speedway with the pits full of race cars and a good size crowd on
hand for the ten dollar admission NASCAR Whelen All-American Series cars in
action. It was also double feature night for the late models and modifieds
giving the fans plenty of racing laps.
The first late model thirty lap feature was
the make up one from two weeks ago with Dick Dunlevy Jr. and Sam Heckman, both
former track champs starting on the front row. Dunlevy took command at the
drop of the green and never relinquished the lead as he stayed out front all
the way for his first feature win of the season Duncan Oil sponsored machine.
Back of him was a different story though as a bunched up group of six cars
battled each other. As the laps ran down second place running Heckman had the
pressure really put on him with a bunch of hungry drivers chasing him down.
Coming down for the white flag it was Justin Alsip, Tim Allensworth, and John
Vallo chasing Heckman across the line to finish in that order.
In the regular late model feature it
certainly was an exciting event for the fans as Donnie Renner, making his
first appearance of the year and Ricky Bates brought the field to the line.
Renner got the lead with Bates second and Sam Heckman running third but like
the make-up feature it was quite a battle between several cars behind them as
they ran side by side. Sixth place starter Justin Alsip was all wound up as he
started picking off spots on the outside to take the lead on lap six. Renner
had secnd but here came Sllensworth and Vallo running side by side with Vallo
emerging out and into second spot. Alsip kept his Charlie's A-1 special out
front as he lapped traffic to claim his first win of the year. Vallo was
second with Allensworth third followed by Dick Dunlevy and Ricky Bates.
The mke-up modified feature saw ninetee
cars take the green flag with Bill Burba jumping into the lead with Jason
Mahaffey then taking the front spot as he led Dick Dunlevy and Chad Poole lap
after lap. As the front runners approached slower cars Mahaffey had the
misofrtune of being involved with one of them that saw him hit the backstretch
wall and out of the event. Stapleton in the Underwood Floor and Tile special
inherited the lead and stayed in front to the checker to claim his first win
of the year. One time winner Poole paced second with dunlevy third. Burba and
Caleb Reschar rounded out the top five.
Twenty-two modifieds took the green flag in
the regular feature with Ross Kligelhofer bringing the field to starter Mike
Stapleton's green flag with Poole getting the lead but fourth place starter Mike
Stacy was on the move. Stacy passed Klingelhofer on the seventh lap and then
set sail for Poole. Poole in the Storco Construction special managed to hold
off Stacy for his second win of the year. Greg Stapleton was on the move as he
took over third to claim that spot with Klingelhofer fourth and Jack Jones
fifth.
The twenty lap sport stock feature was
going just well for Buck Purtee as he stole the lead over Keith Bales on the
first lap and was pulling away from the field but once Bales got a hold
on the track he closed the door on Purtee and moved up on his rear bumper.
Unfortunately his luck ran out on lap eleven when he spun sideways coming out
of turn four and four other cars piled into him resulting in an apparent
broken leg with him being careflighted to Dayton's Miami Valley Hospital for
treatment.
When action resumed Purtee
maintained the lead but Justin Miller began closing the gap and with five laps
to go Miller took the outside groove to take te lead and his first feature
win. Fast timer Tom Williams slipped by Purtee on the last lap to claim second
with Purtee third. Mike Miller and Mike South Jr. rounded out the top five.
The Oakley Blacktop compacts hit the small
fifth mile track nineteen cars strong with Paul Holley and second generation
driver Jess Drook bringing the field to the green flag. Holley took the lead
with Drook following and lady driver Holli Eaton in her first Kil-Kare
appearance was in third. In the meantime fast timer Tim Haerr who started
seventh was on the prowl advancing toward the front disposing one at a time
his opponents. By lap six he moved inside of Holley to take the lead in the
Mahaffey Auto Salvage special to lead all the way to take the win. Fifth place
starter Chris Boggs moved up to second but was unable to catch Haerr as he
placed second. When the checker waved Josh Boggs was third with Tim Dilg
fourth after battling Spriggs and fifth was Drook.

Kil-Kare
Speedway Reduces Admission to $10
by Jerry Wahl
Xenia, OH. (5/27) - Fans attending Kil-Kare Speedway Friday
night will be in for a treat when they walk up to the admission ticket window
as management has lowered the adult admission to just $10 for Friday nights
racing program. And what a program it will be with no less than twelve event
on the schedule including double features for the NASCAR Whelen All-American
Series late models and modifieds. Kil-Kare sport stocks and Muffler Brothers
of Xenia compacts will also be in action for a full night of hotly contested
action.
Defending late model champ Tim Allensworth of
Coshocton and Fairborn's John Vallo have one feature win to their credit so
far this year, a season that has been plagued with the uncooperative weather.
If Vallo can pull off wins in both features Friday night he will be just one
win away from the magic number 300.
Also, due to rain-outs only two modified drivers
have tasted victory lane interviews so Friday night Caleb Reschar and Chad
Poole hope to become the first two time winners this young season.
Defending Kil-Kare sport stock champion got off to a
flying start as he recorded two straight feature wins but Shawn Stansell was
home first in the third event, the Rich Miller Memorial.
Oakley Blacktop compact driver Aaron Harshbarger got
off to a flying start like Williams but in the last event held Bo Hoelscher
picked up his first win of the year.
Spectator gates are set to open at 6 p.m. and racing
at 8 p.m.

Accident
Halts Kil-Kare Speedway Features
Stansell
Wins Rich Miller Memorial
by Jerry Wahl
Xenia, OH (5/16) - At last the weather man finally
co-operated and Kil-Kare Speedway was able to get their third NASCAR Whelen
All-American Series events in on a rather cool evening with a large field of
cars on hand. However the nights events were cut short by a serious KOIL
Legends accident in their feature when driver Toby Alfrey rolled over the
outside wall and lodged between the wheel fence and wall. Due to time
constraints the late model and modified features were postponed for two weeks.
It was a side by side duel for the
positions in the first late model heat as seasoned veterans and former track
champs Sam Heckman and Joe Hill battled side by side for the lead with Heckman
getting the honor of the win with Hill right beside him in second and third
was Ricky Bates. Good luck finally came Virgil Powell's way as he claimed the
second heat with Kil-Kare first timer Scott McMillen placing a close second
with Jeff Marsh third.
Caleb Rescher claimed his second modified
heat win as he jumped out front at the drop of the green to lead all the way.
Jerry Stapleton wasn't too far behind to claim second with third going to Bill
Burba. Neil McClelland was a first time winner in the second heat as he was
home first. Ray Muncy dogged McClelland but had to settle for second with Brad
Yelton a very close third.
It was also a great night for the sport
stocks with the running of the Rich Miller Memorial in honor of former driver
Rich Miller who passed as a result of cancer last December. Hoe Hensel took
the lead at the drop of the green but it was Shawn Stansell driving the Mark
Heath owned car taking comand and never looked back. Mike South Jr. moved into
second but couldn't catch Stansell. Justin Miller was holding down third as
fast timer Tom Williams slipped by Miller but slid off the track giving third
back to Miller. While Stansell enjoyed the win and South was second with
Miller third, Williams came back up to claim fourth with Travis Digges fifth.
The first heat of KOIL Bandoleros saw Kyle Donahue
and Ty Rose take the two front spots only to tangle with Donahue sent to the
tail and Rose took the win over Kyle Weatherman and Casey Moore. It was a
great finish in the second heat as Tyler Poe lost the win by a whisker over
Charlie Stray as Stray claimed his first win at Kil-Kare. With Poe second
Angela Donahue was third.
It was a tough feature for the young
drivers as the caution flew numerous times due to spins, but when the green
was out it was a furious battle as they jockeyed around for positions. At
starter Mike Stapletons checker flag it was Casey Moore claiming his second
feature with Clayton Weatherman second followed by Kyle Donahue, Kevin
Donahue, and Charlie Stray.
The first heat of the KOIL Legends was a
heartbreaker for Bryan Nuckles as with two laps to go in the first heat Adam
Roberts slipped by to take the win with Knuckles second and Sloan Henderson
third. Just like the first heat it was a Nuckles finishing second in the
second heat as Toby Alfrey displaced Tyler Nuckles on the second lap to take
the lead and win. With Tyler second many time winner Danny Jackson was third.
A two car tangle just after the start of
the feature brought the caution fag out resulting in a complete restart with
Sloan Henderson and Tyler Nuckles in the front row. On the green only one lap
was recorded when Tommy Klein tagged the turn four wall resultin in a lost
wheel. With Tyler Nuckles in the lead on the fourth restart the red flag
appeared when on lap seven Toby Alfrey's car went airborn out of turn two and
rolled violently over the wall. The event was called complete with Tyler
Nuckles declared the winner and his cousin Bryan second with Adam Roberts
third.
The first heat of Oakley Blacktop Compacts
was a three car battle for the front spots between Chris Boggs, Bo Hoelscher
and Shane Sparkman. When the checker waved it was Sparkman claiming his first
compact heat win with Hoelscher second and Boggs third. Second heat action got
off to a bad start for Chuck Adkins as he smacked the wall hard, knocking him
out of competition. When action got back underway Tim Dilg wasted little time
to fly by his opponents to take the lead and win over Ron Sagers and Mike
Robertson.
Tim Dilg looked like he might make it a
clean sweep in the feature as he jumped out front ad led the first fifteen
laps as the faster cars that had started on the tail-end in the complete
inversion were making their way toward the front. Dilg saw his hopes of a win
fade as Bo Hoelscher in the Hoelscher Racing special stole the lead to take
the win, In the meantime Chris Boggs and fast timer Tim Haerr were on the move
advancing toward the front, With one lap to go Roger Sloan Jr. barrel rolled
off the backstretch bringing out the yellow followed by the checker. Dilg was
second with Boggs third, Haerr fourth and Arron Harshbarger winner of the
first two features earlier this year was fifth.

Kil-Kare Win Makes 295 For
Vallo
by Jerry Wahl
Xenia, OH. (4/25) - It was fan appreciation night at
Kil-Kare Speedway Friday night as a near full grandstand took advantage of the
five dollars general admission to witness the NASCAR Whelen All-American
Series events and they were entertained with another night of exciting events.
Opening nights feature winner Tim Allensworth and
Justin Alsip started on the front row in the thirty lap feature which offered
double points while former track champs John Vallo and Sam Heckman made up the
second row. At the drop of the green It was the Allensworth/Vallo show just
like opening night except Alsip made it a threesome for the front spot. The
trio ran bumper to bumper lap after lap with Alsip on occassion moving up on
the inside of Vallo while Vallo made several attemps on the outside of
Allensworth.
A lap twenty-two spin by Joe Hill brought the only
caution flag out and with action back underway the three kept the fans on the
edge of their seats as they came up on slower traffic. Allensworth looked like
he just might be able to hold off the determined Vallo when suddenly he
dropped off the pace with mechanical problems to become an infield spectator
while Vallo in his Gary Estes owned Bond Machine/Weiler sponsored car
sccored the win, his career 295th as he has his goal on 300 wins. Alsip was a
close second while Sam Hckman had to hold off the pressure of Ricky Bates to
claim third with Bates fourth and Bobby Justus fifth.
Veteran late model driver John Vallo, the
"Fairborn Flash" lit up the crowd in the first heat as he came from
the tail to just barely beat early leader Bobby Justus by .004 seconds. Justin
Alsip was right in there in third and fourth was Ricky Bates.
The second heat was a great one also with four cars
running right up front. Young Shawn Stansell maintained the lead all the way
but the pressure was on him all the way. Eddie Simpson held down second until
the finish line when Joe Hill slipped by him with Simpson third and Virgil
Powell fourth.
Second generation driver Chad Poole of Springfield
plans on being a regular competitor at Kil-Kare this season and Friday night
he showed he is out to win as he claimed the thirty lap modified feature.
Poole started on the pole with Bill Burba alongside with Poole putting
his Paul Storer owned Storco Construction special out front at the
start. Poole set a rapid pace with Burba running second but seasoned veteran
Dick Dunlevy Jr. who had set a new track record of 13.743 in time trials was
on the move as he put the pressure on Burba, displacing his on lap nine to
hold down second. Dunlevy then went after leader Poole as he tried several
times to pull alongside but failed, settling for second place at the checker.
Burba was third as Jason Mahaffey slipped by Josh Smith to claim fourth and
fifth was Smith.
Jason Mahaffey picked up his first modified heat win
of the year in his Affordable Auto Parts open-wheeler, keeping the lead all
the way but behind him Josh Smith had his hands full holding off the
challenges of Chad Poole. Poole finally succeeded on the last lap to take
second place with Smith third while Dick Dunlevy was fourth.
Lady driver Jamie Brenneman in the Muffler Brother
of Xenia special jumped out front in the second heat and was leading until
contact was made by second place running Caleb Rescher resulting with her
spinning on turn two. Rescher was sent to the tail and Brenneman resumed the
lead on the restart with Joe Jennings in second. Brenneman showed she
meant business as she picked up her first heat win with Jennings second,
Rescher third and Dewayne Snyder Jr. fourth.
Xenia's Tom Williams is off to a great start this
season in the sport stocks as in time trials he set a new track record of
14.883 and then came back to record his seond straight feature win. Mike South
Jr. led the first lap of the twenty lap feature but on the net lap it was
Williams out front in his Muffler Brothers of Xenia car. Williams maintained
the win the rest of the way as South had to hold off the challenges of former
track record holder Justin Miller. Miller had to settle for third with Mel
McMullen fourth and Travis Diggs fifth.
Nineteen front-wheel drive compacts faced starter
Mike Stapleton's green flag with last weeks winner Aaron Harshbarger on the
pole along with defending track champ Tim Haerr alongside. When the green flag
fell on the twenty lap feature it was a mass mayham as the drivers battled for
positions. Harshbarger led all the way but it certainly was not an easy win at
all as Haerr in his Mahaffey Auto Salvage car battled nip and tuck all the way
on dogging the rear bumper of Harshbarger, even trying to pass him on the last
lap but had to settle for second. Bo Hoelscher and Chris Boggs fought for
third with Boggs taking the spot with Boggs fourth and Paul Holley fourth.
The first compact heat got off with Jess Drook and
Paul Holley leading the field to the green only to see the caution fly when
Troy Patterson got tangled on the frontstretch and was out of action in his
Jims Body Shop car. Second generation driver Jess Drook jumped out front on
the restart and held it all the way in the Drook Service special as he barely
held off second place finisher Aaron Harshbarger. Holley was third and Bo
Hoelscher fourth.
Just like the first heat the second one saw the
yellow wave on the first lap when Chuck Adkins spun on turn two. When the
green waved again it was like turning a heard of elephants loose as the
drivers took off like gangbusters running four wide through turn one and two.
Rodney Terry enjoyed the lead momentarily but a hard charging Chuck Adkins
took over but here came last weeks heat winner Joe Hoelscher to steal the lead
and the win. Steve Salyers slipped by for second with Adkins third and Ron
Sagers fourth.
A full racing card resumes next Friday night with
the gates opening at 6 p.m. and racing at 8 p.m.

Allensworth Claims Late
Model Feature Win at Kil-Kare
by Jerry Wahl
Xenia, OH. (4/18) -
Kil-Kare Speedway finally got the 2008 season underway
Friday night after being rained-out the previous two weeks and what a late
model feature it was as defending track champion Tim Allensworth in the
raceoasis.com special had his hands full in the closing laps to hold off
former track champion John Vallo. Vallo, driving the Gary Estes owned Weiler
Welding car tried several times to get Allensworth, pulling alongside but had
to settle for second. Earlier when the green flag waved Jim Lewis Jr. set the
pace until Allensworth took command followed by Vallo. Justin Alsip, winner of
the last feature last season was third with Sam Heckman fourth and Ricky Bates
fifth.
Ricky Bates had his hands full holding off veteran
John Vallo in the first late model heat as Vallo tried desperately to pass
Bates on the outside but Bates was able to hang on unto the checker waved with
Vallo second and defending track champ Tim Allenswoth was third with fourth
going to Sam Heckman.
The second late
model heat was stopped on the fourth lap when Russ Bobb hit the turn one wall
after tangling with Ron Wells. Both cars were sidelined and when action
resumed leader Bobby Justus held off the hard pressing of second place running
Jim Lewis Jr. who made a last lap challenge but fell short as Justus took the
win with Lewis second followed by Virgil Powell and Dewayne Snyder Jr.
Caleb Rescher jumped out into the lead in the
modified feature while Chad Poole shot up to second and was closing in on
Rescher when a multi car spin happened on the frontstretch bringing out
the caution flag. Rescher continued to lead after the restart and then
just four laps later Dick Dunlevy Jr. brought the second caution out when he
smacked the first turn wall. Again Rescher held the lead on the restart with
Poole again challenging. Poole just took the lead when the caution came out
when Bill Burba damaged the right front of his mount and was out after running
third. Again on the restart a determined Rescher held on to the lead but as
the laps wound down it developed into a four car battle to the checker.
Rescher held on to claim his first ever Kil-Kare modified feature win with
Poole barely holding off a stiff challenge from Jason Mahaffey to finish
second with Mahaffey third and fourth in the thick of action was Shawn Gray.
Caleb Rescher captured his first ever heat win
at Kil-Kare when he was home first in the first heat. Bill Burba was second
with former track champ Shawn Gray third. Joe Jennings claimed the second heat
while lady driver Jamie Brenneman did a good job holding off the challenges of
Ray Muncy to claim second with Muncy third and Rodney Kreusch fourth.
The sport stock feature had a heated battle
going between Mike South Jr. and former track champ Tom Williams until South's
mount went up in smoke giving the lead to Williams who went on to take the win
him his Muffler Brothers sponsored machine. Justin Miller slipped by Travis
Diggs to take second and Diggs was third. Mel McMullen claimed fourth place
while South was credited with fifth.
The first compact feature of the year got off
to a wild start as no sooner than the green flag flew two cars tangled
bringing out the yellow flag and then on the restart Tim Dilg lost a wheel and
spun wildly bringing out the second caution before one lap was completed.
Finally for the third time starter Mike Stapleton waved the green and Amber
Sites set sail to lead the first seven laps but the posse behind her were on
the move. Heat winner Bo Hoelscher took command on the next lap and looked
like he might hold on for the win but Aaron Harshbarger in the Jim's Body Shop
special had other ideas as he zipped by Hoelscher to hold the first spot until
the checker. Sites had faded back to fifth but in the closing laps a couple of
cars in front of her had problems and she found herself in third as earlier
defending champ Tim Haerr had worked his way up to claim runner-up. Fourth was
Jess Drook and fifth was Chris Boggs.
Bo Hoelscher got the Compacts underway in the first
heat as he claimed the win while the rest of the field battled behind him with
Aaron Harshbarger crossing the line in second followed by Tim Haerr and Paul
Holley.
It was Hoelscher night apparently as Joe Hoelscher
was home first in the second heat as he sorta left the field behind him just
like Bo and again it was a battle for the next spots with Chris Clark second
and Davey Shaw third.
Heat race for the KOIL Legends turned into a battle
between cousins Bryan and Tyler Nuckles with Tyler jumping out into the lead
only to yield to a turn one pass by Bryan who stole the lead and the win with
Tyler second and Adam Roberts third.
Toby Alfrey ran away with the second heat after he
passed early leader Travis Brayden. Brayden was second with a close third
going to Sloan Henderson who was right behind Brayden with fourth going to
Corey Smith.
Twelve KOIL Legend cars took the green flag in the
25 lap feature with Tyler Nuckles taking the lead while Sloane Henderson held
on to second with Bryan Nuckles knocking on her rear bumper. Bryan got around
her for second as the caution soon came out when Adam Roberts spun on turn
four. On the restart Tyler held the lead but multi Kil-Kare winner Toby
Alfrey slipped by to claim the win. Bryan Nuckles finished third with Travis
Brayden fourth and Henderson fifth.
Bandoleros driver Casey Moore cleaned house in his
division as he came back from his heat win to lead all the way in the feature
to claim his first feature of the year. Tyler Poe wasn't too far behind
in second with Justin Campbell third followed by Ty Rose and Zac Carter.
The Bandoleros heat race started with Zac Carter
taking the lead but Justin Campbell took over on the second lap with Ty Rose
moving up to challenge Campbell only to see the two tangle on the backstretch.
Campbell was sent to the tail and Rose was sidelined with mechanical woes.
Casey Moore inherited the lead on the restart and held it to take the win with
Tyler Poe second, Campbell came to claim third and fourth was Carter.
As a thank you to all the fans that showed up
opening night and to show appreciation Kil-Kare management will admit all
adults to next Friday, April 25, events for just five dollars. Gates open
at 6 p.m. and racing at 8 p.m.
