Pippin Wins at the Bowl
Stapleton Tops AMS at Shady Bowl
DeGraff
OH (5/31)- In a rare moment of weakness Mother Nature smiled on Shady Bowl
Speedway Saturday and the fans were treated to a full night of short track
racing.
The
American Modified Series made its third stop of the season, with Troy Ohio
driver Greg Stapleton looking for his third straight win in the series. The win
was not to be however as Stapleton was a crash victim in the first qualifying
race eliminating him for the night. Jerry Stapleton and Herb Newman picked up
wins in the qualifiers. The 50 lap feature saw Stapleton and Newman
leading the pack into turn one. Stapleton ( an uncle to Greg ) took over
the point in his Terry’s Radiator backed racer. Brad Yelton soon caught
Stapleton and made contact with the leader spinning out.
Yelton took the blame for the incident putting Stapleton back out front .
When the green waved again it was the veteran out front.
Stapleton went on to lead all the way, with Josh Smith putting on a great
show, as he tried every way possible to pass Stapleton. The race was Smith’s
first back after a recent medical problem. Herb Newman turned in his best effort
of the season to finish third. Dean Pitts also had a strong finish as he was
fourth. Mike Carroll the defending AMS champ was fifth. Chad Poole set fast time
with a 13.79 lap.
The
25 lap late model main once again saw defending late model Bud Perry dominate
the race to post win number 3. The Edgerton OH veteran was behind the wheel of
the Redskin Motorsports-Continental Express Monte Carlo. Mark Parker was second,
with Jason Dillon third, Craig Borland fourth and Brad Coons fifth. Coons was
the winner of the heat race. Perry also set fast time with a 13.90 lap.
Rodney
Roush of Sidney was the winner of the 20 lap sport stock feature in his Grismer
Tire Monte Carlo. Larry Adams turned in a strong performance to finish second,
with Richard Roush third, Greg Sparks fourth and Chris Abbott fifth. Rodney
Roush set fast time with a 14.74 lap.
The
20 lap Pro-4 feature saw Houston OH driver Steve Clarkson pick up his fourth win
of the season in his Performance Diesel backed Ford, Clarkson dedicated his win
to Matt Sutton, son of former driver Sue Sutton. Sutton is in Walter Reed
Hospital suffering from an illness he picked up while serving in the Middle
East. Dave Sage, Rodney Schrack,
Kenny Snyder and Josh Sage rounded out the top five. Clarkson was fast qualifier
with a 14.77 lap.
The
20 lap compact feature was won by DeGraff OH driver Jerry Ellis Jr. in his
Cabinet Store and More Honda. Ellis
clearly had the fastest car on this night, with Mark Parker, Justin Durflinger,
David Yoder and Lou Ebright second thru fifth.
This
Saturday the Bowl will host the Iron Man 40 for the sport stocks with a top
prize of $500.00 . The Late Models, Modifieds, Compacts, Dwarf Cars and Detroit
Iron will round out the action.

PERRY FALLEN HEROES SHADY BOWL FEATURE WINNER
DeGraff
OH: 5/24) Shady Bowl Speedway finally won out over mother nature to get in a
full night of speed on Saturday. The night was dedicated to the memory of Shady
Bowl Speedway drivers who have passed away.
The
headliner for the nights action was a 50 lap feature for the late models. The
race got off to a rough start, as front row starters Chad Poole and Rodney Roush
were sent to the tail after repeated contact between the two. On the ensuing
restart Brad Coons and Bud Perry
led the field to starter Matthew Heitzmans green flag. Perry jumped out to a
quick lead before the yellow flew before a lap was completed. Poole, Jerry Nagel
and Jesse Gade tangled in turn three, with Poole hitting the wall head on.
Poole’s car, owned by Paul Storer suffered heavy damage, while Gade and Nagel
were able to continue. Perry again took the lead on the restart and proved to be
the class of the field. The Logan Services-Redskin Motorsports set a blistering
place. Lapping all cars except second running Coons and Jim Lewis Jr. Jason
Dillon and Rod Schaeff finished fourth and fifth. It was ironic that Perry
posted the win, as his father Stan who passed away last year, was one of the
fallen heroes honored on the night of speed.
In
Modified action Chad Poole started off the night, as he set a new track record
for the openwheelers with a 13.56 lap. When the 25 lap feature started Jim Lewis
Jr. of Fairborn jumped out to an early lead, with Bud Perry soon on his back
bumper. Lewis had his hands full holding off the challenges of Perry. Lewis sped
under the checker at the end of the 25 laps to post his first win of 08. Perry
held on for second, with Rob Yelton third, Chris Parker fourth and Wayne
Watercutter fifth.
Dayton
driver Kenny Snyder in his Deck Pro led all the way in the 20 lap Pro 4 main to
win for the first time in 08. Randy Human turned in a strong effort to finish
second. Dave Sage, Steve Clarkson and Josh Sage rounded out the top five. Dave
Sage set fast time with a 14.69 lap.
The
20 lap Sport Stock feature saw Aaron Pippin put his H&R Block Chevy in
victory lane. Pippin held off a determined Greg Sparks to post the win. Rodney
Roush, Richard Roush and Larry Adams rounded out the top five.
The
Ohio Valley Dwarf Car Association 20 lap feature may have just been the best
race of the night. Brandon Bayse of Covington pushed his familiar #44 coach to
the front and looked to have another easy win locked up. The ageless veteran
Bill Hostetler had other plans however as he reeled in Bayse as the laps sped
by. Bayse was able to hold off
Hostetler by less than a car length to post the win.
Daniel Wirrick, Max Evans and Bob Bayse rounded out the top five.
Hostetler and Brad Damewood posted heat wins.
The
20 lap compact feature saw Piqua’s Josh Sage surge to a win in his Mopar
backed Wyandt and Silvers Accounting backed racer.
Mark Parker put on a late race bid to pass Sage but came up short. Mike
Shaffer , Justin Durflinger and Kyle Stager finished third thru fifth.
The
Saturday (May 31) The American Modified Series returns along with the Late
models, sport stocks, compacts and Pro-4’s. Racing will start at 7. It will be
a double points night for all classes.

STAPLETON TAKES SHADY BOWL SHOOTOUT
DeGraff
OH: (5/10) Shady Bowl Speedway hosted its second American Modified Series
event of the 08 season with a full field of cars on hand.
Springfield’s
Chad Poole set fast time with a 13.67 lap around the three tenths mile oval.
Poole then rolled a three on the dice to set the inversion for the two
qualifying heats that determine the starting line ups.
The ten lap events were won by Seville Oh driver Tim Ice and Scott Coe
from Fort Wayne IN. The 24 car field took the green with Coe and Ice making up
the front row for the 50 lapper. Coe jumped out to an early lead and set a
torrid pace as Poole and Greg Stapleton battled for position behind him. Coe had
things pretty much his way as the laps counted down. Stapleton took over second
spot when Poole encountered brake problems. Stapleton, the winner of the first
AMS race soon caught Coe with five laps to go. The duo caught lapped traffic
with two laps to go that set the stage for a great finish. Coe got caught down
low behind a lapped car, with Stapleton putting the throttle thru the firewall
to make a daring pass on the high side. Stapleton of Troy led the final lap to
once again put his B&B Gear and Machine sponsored Stacy chassis to pick up
the $2500.00 top prize. Coe
had to settle for second spot, with two time AMS champ Bud Perry third,
defending AMS
champ Mike Carroll was fourth with Poole fifth.
The
Ohio Valley Dwarf Car Association 20 lap feature was once again dominated by
Covington’s Brandon Bayse. Bayse. The 2007 champion looks like a lock to
repeat in his Stoops Freightliner coach.
Bill Hostetler, Bob Bayse, Cory Barcus and Max Evans rounded out the top
five. Jerry Damewood and Brandon Bayse captured heat wins.
The
20 lap sport stock saw a familiar face in victory lane, as Bud Perry of Edgerton
OH made his street stock debut a good, as he set fast time and won the feature.
Perry was behind the wheel of the Chad Fiessinger owned Camaro sponsored
by Apex Aluminum.
Greg Sparks made his 08 debut with a second place finish, while Aaron
Pippin, Mark Heath and Larry Adams rounded out the top five.
In
Pro-4 racing, Houston’s Steve Clarkson won his third straight feature in his
47 Bar and Grill backed Ford. The veteran driver is on a mission to add another
track crown to his resume. Randy was second, with Dave Sage third, Kenny Snyder
fourth and Josh Sage fifth.
The
20 lap Compact feature saw second generation driver Justin Durflinger carry the
checker in his Stan’s Garage Honda. The Bellefontaine senior gave himself a
nice graduation gift as he has been a victim of bad racing luck of late. Mark
Parker was second, with Lou Ebright, David Yoder and Brian Beach following.
This
Saturday ( May 17th)the Modifieds, Late Models, Sport Stocks,
Compacts , Dwarfs and the Detroit Iron cars will take to the Champaign county
oval . Racing will begin at 7.

The late models were the first to take to the rural oval with Jesse Gade leading the field to the green flag. Gade led the first three laps before fast qualifier Mark Parker took over the lead. The West Liberty high school student led the balance of the way to notch his second career feature win. Parker was behind the wheel of the family owned Ford sponsored by Lucky 7 Sports. Shawn Stansell, Rodney Roush, Craig Borland and Gade rounded out the top five.
The 25 lap modified main veteran driver Terry Humphrey lead the first three counters before Springfields Chad Poole took over the helm. Poole then set sail for the checker in his C&A Auto Service backed racer. Poole dominated the final portion of the race before a late race surge put Humphrey back on his rear bumper . Humphrey ran out of laps however and could only watch as Poole took the checker. Rookie Brad Yelton turned in a strong performance to finish third. Chris Parker and Jim Lewis Jr, rounded out the top five.
In sport stack racing, Plain City’s Richard Roush posed for photos in victory lane after surviving a wild event . The 20 lapper saw plenty of bump and run action before Roush finally put his S&B Towing Camaro out front for good. Aaron Pippen, Jason Purtee , Chuck Kemp and Larry Adams finished second thru fifth.
The 20 lap Dwarf car main was won by West Liberty’s Bill Hostetler. Hostetler took advantage of early leader Brandon Bayse’s breakdown to post the win. Rob Dutra was second, with Bob Bayse third, Daniel Wirrick fourth and Kelsey Knoebler fifth. Hostetler also won the heat race.

The final feature was the compact 15 lapper and it turned out to be the best race of the night, Justin Durflinger led the start of the last lap with Dave Sage second and Steven Salyer third. A checker flag dash saw the leaders encounter lapped traffic that shuffled Durflinger back to third, with Sage and Salyer slipping by in that order. Sage, a Piqua native was driving the Dans’s BP sponsored racer. David Yoder wound up fourth, with Jerry Ellis Jr. fifth.
