RAIN WIPES OUT SHADY BOWL RACING
 
DeGraff OH: 8/14- Racing action scheduled for Saturday at Shady Bowl Speedway fell victim to inclement weather, as rain and wet grounds forced promoter Charlie Stapleton to cancel the program.
 This Saturday will feature what could turnout to the fastest night of racing ever for the rural oval, when the MSA super modifieds invade the speedway for the first time. The winged big block racers are the fastest openwheel cars in short track racing. Tim Ice, a former Shady Bowl regular in the super lates and modifieds is expected to be on hand, as he now runs under the MSA banner. The Late Models, Dwarfs, Compacts and Sport Stocks will round out the night of speed.

 

 

Chris Parker Takes Shady Bowl 50
DeGraff Ohio: In a  night filled with racing action, West Liberty Ohio driver Chris Parker emerged the shining star. Parker survived a wild 50 lap late model main to post his first win of 2010 and pick up $1000.00. Jerry Nagel set the pace the first 31 circuits and looked to maybe have his first win in hand.
The race was red flagged on lap ten when a multiple car crash blocked the track in turn one. Rodney Roush suffered the brunt of the damage for the second week in row in the same spot. Roush was uninjured, but his Monte Carlo took a beating. Nagel as stated, took the lead again when action resumed, with Jim Lewis Jr., Brad Coons, Chris Parker and Buck Purtee rounding out the top five. The paint trading stepped up a nottch as the laps wound down. Parker finally got by on lap 32 and set sail for the checker in his KDC Racing- Dollar General ride. Parker cruised under the checker, with Nagel, Purtee, Greg Sparks and Russ Bobb in tow. Parker dedicated his win to Harley Gross, father of crewmember Jerry Gross who was in grave condition at race time. The family reported that Mr. Gross passed away at 8:00 AM Sunday morning. Heat wins went to Coons and Brad Yelton.
 The sport stocks had a strange happening during the running of the 20 lap feature. Mike Scherer, son of former track owner John Scherer decided to be part of the show, as he drove his street car onto the track during a yellow flag. " I can't believe he would embarass his family name by pulling such a stunt . He not only endangered himself but the other drivers. His rapid drive thru the pit area could have led to a tragedy. His grandfather Raymond Scherer would turn over in his grave if he knew what happened" stated current track owner Charlie Stapleton, The Champaign County Sherriffs department dispatched several crews to the track and Scherer was removed by them. Mike Pippin of Bellefontaine in his brothers H&R Block backed chevy led all 20 laps to claim his first win of season. Terry Purtee, Chris Abbott, Chad Fiessinger and Larry Adams finished second thru fifth. The make up feature from earlier in the month was won by Plain City driver Richard Roush in his Plain City Village Market sponsored Camaro.
 The 25 lap modified main saw a familiar face in victory lane for the first time this season. Second generation driver Chad Poole of Springfield led all 25 counters in his Finley Recycling sponsored ride.  Steve Snapp was second, with Rob Yelton third, Joe Pequignot fourth and Brad Yelton fifth. Jim Lewis Jr. won the dash, with Brian Brandyberry carrying the checker for the heat.
 The Ohio Valley Dwarf Car Association 20 lap main was won by West Liberty's Daniel Wirrick in the Wirrick Farms racer. Bob Bayse, Jerry Russell, Donnie Eaton and Connie Smith followed. Russell won the heat race.
 In Pro 4 action, it was Houston's Steve Clarkson sporting the big smile, after he won the 20ap main. Clarkson's  Reasonable Choices backed racer was pursued across the finish line by David Gerstner, Josh Sage, Dave Sage and Rodney Schrack. Josh Sage was the heat race winner.
 In compact racing, Mason Patrick got by Matt Stone with just a few laps to go to win still  another win in the Spains Service Center Probe. Stone held on for second, with Todd Turvine third, Steven Salyers fourth and  JIm Massengill fifth. Heat wins went to Salyers and Massengill.
The Saturday night will mark the return of the super lates, as the Main Event Racing Series makes its annual stop. A 75 lap feature will highlight the night of speed. The Pro-4's, Compacts and Sport Stocks will also do battle. The first green flag will fall at 7 for Apex Aluminum Night at the races.

Trailer Maddness at Shady Bowl
 
DeGraff OH: (7/24): Shady Bowl Speedway was packed to capacity Saturday for the running of its first of two trailer races scheduled for this season. A full field of over 30 brave souls took the green in cars, pick up trucks and motorhomes, with utility trailers, campers and boats in tow. It was wild scene at the drop of the green as destruction was the best way to describe the action. It just a few laps the track was littered with debris from all the crashes. The race took nearly an hour to decide the winner, with Elliot Dittier being crowned the winner by virtue of being the last car running.
 The track also hosted three classes of stock cars in competition. The Modifieds took to the track first. Sidney driver Rodney Roush led the field into turn one at the start with Brian Brandyberry running second. The running order did not change the entire 25 laps as Roush in his "Elias Special"  won his second straight feature. Brandyberry finished second, with Chad Poole third. Poole tries several times to move up, but was unable to make his car work on the high groove. Gary Eaton and Rob Yelton rounded out the top five.  Poole was the winner of the dash, with Austin Troyer winning his second career heat race.
 In compact action Steven Salyer of New Carlisle held off fast qualifier and new track record holder Mason Patrick to win the 20 lap feature. The week was a long one for the Salyer crew, as they had major repair work on the Thumpers Auto Glass Beretta after a hard crash the week before. Matt Stone, Todd Trevine and David Yoder rounded out the top five. Jim Massengill won the first heat, with Dustin Young taking heat two.
 The sport stock feature was a wild event with a red flag on lap four when Aaron Pippin made contact with Rodney Roush putting both cars into and nearly over the second turn wall. Both drivers were OK, but the cars were towed from the track with heavy damage. Larry Adams paced the field early before being passed by fast qualifiier Jesse Gade. Gade went on to put his NAPA stocker home first, followed by Richard Roush, Chris Abbott, Adams and Steve Hursey. Buck Purtee carried the checker for the heat race.
 This Saturday (7/31) the Bowl will feature a 50 lap late model feature with $1000.00 awaiting the winner. The Modifieds, Sport Stocks, Pro-4's, Dwarf Cars and Compacts will also be on the schedule. Racing will start at 7.

YELTON TOPS SHADY BOWL LATE MODELS
 
DeGraff OH (7/17). It was KTH Night at Shady Bowl Speedway Saturday with one of the best crowds of the season on hand to view the night of speed.
 Rob Yelton continued his hot streak in the late model class by taking the checker for the seventh time this season. Jason Dillon set the pace early in the event before a red flag flew when Tim Allen crashed heavily into the frontchute wall . Allen was uninjured but his car suffered heavy damage. Dillon took over the lead again on the restart only to be overtaken by Yelton in his Toms Service Barn backed racer. Yelton once again proved to be the class of the field as he crossed the finish line on lap 25 followed by Chris Parker, Buck Purtee, Brandon Bayse and Jerry Nagel. Nagel and Brad Coons collected heat wins.
 The 25 lap Modified main saw Sidney's Rodney Roush lead the field into turn one. Roush, behind the wheel of "The Elias Special" put his open wheeler in the low groove and took command as the laps began to count down.  Roush flew under the checkered flag to take his first win of the season followed by a pack of cars led by Brian Brandyberry, Chad Poole, Rob Yelton and Joe Pequinot. Pequinot won the dash, with Austin Troyer winning the heat.
 The 20 lap sport stock feature was a little short on cars, but it seemed as if they all made contact with one another at some point. When all the dust had cleared Chad Fiessinger of Fort Loramie was in victory lane in his Apex Aluminum Camaro. The win was far from easy as he survived a late race charge by Jesse Gade to win by mere inches. Rodney Roush, Aaron Pippin and Robert Roush rounded out the top five. Pippin carried the checker for the heat race.
 In Ohio Valley Dwarf Car Association racing, Daniel Wirrick took over the lead from Jerry Russell shortly after the halfway point to post the win in his Wirrick Farms racer. Russell, Bob Bayse, Josh Sage and Jesse Gade finished second thru fifth. Bayse was the winner in heat action.
  The Pro-4 main saw Houston's Steve Clarkson power his Rosewood Machine stocker to victory lane. The win was a welcome for Clarkson who had a season marred by tough luck. Rodney Schrack had a great night with his runner up spot plus a heat win. Tom Voyles was third, with Dave Sage fourth and Randy Human fifth.
 In compact action it was a familiar sight after the checker, as Mason Patrick once again put his Kirby Auto Parts Ford Probe into victory lane twice by winning the heat and feature.
Matt Stone, Jordon Sage, Todd Turvine and Jim Massengill rounded out the top five.
 This Saturday (7/24) will mark on of the highlights of the season when the track is taken over by the Trailer, Boat and Camper Race. The 09 race saw a huge turnout of fans and entrants to watch and participate in the craziness. The Modifieds, Sport Stocks and Compacts will also be in action. Racing will start at 7.

YELTON THREE FOR THREE AT SHADY BOWL
 
DeGraff OH: 7/10/10: It was great night for local hotshoe Rob Yelton when racing returned to Shady Bowl Speedway for Trailer Wiz Night after a one week break Saturday. Yelton, who competes in the late model and modified classes carried the checker three times, as he won every feature he competed in. The night that most drivers just dream of started with the make up late model feature from a rained out event from June 12th. Starting eighth in the 25 lapper, Yelton rode the high side to the lead in his Yelton Trucking racer and dominated the event. Rodney Roush, Mark Parker, Craig Boralnd and Vaughn Young finished second thru fifth.
 The next win for Yelton came in the modified class. The race got off to a rocky start after a crash just before the green saw Herb Newman head on into the frontchute wall. Newman was uninjured, but the car suffered heavy damage. Mike Pippin led the first 15 laps before Yelton once again used the high line to take over the lead. Yelton in his Tapp Auto Sales open wheeler sped under the checker nine laps later. Pippin held on for second, with Gary Eaton third, Brad Yelton fourth and Jim Lewis Jr. fifth. The dash was won by Rob Yelton with the heat going to Pippin.
 The third and final win for Yelton came in the regular late model feature. This win was a lot tougher for Yelton. He once again was relegated to an eigth place starting spot. Dave Nagel took the lead at the drop of the green to lead the first three laps, before giving way to Brad Koons. Koons set a torrid pace as Yelton once again was raising dust and bouncing off walls to make his way to the front. Yelton caught Koons on lap thirteen and tried an outside pass on lap fourteen. Koons appeared to lose traction in turn four and spin, giving the lead to Yelton. The Jeff's Welding backed racer then led the final 10 counters to win #3.  Mark Parker, Nagle, Roush and Koons rounded out the top five. Rick Thompson won the dash, with Aaron Pippin winning the heat. A late crash in the feature brought out a red flag as Vaughn Young and Greg Sparks crashed heavily on the backchute. Once again all drivers were ok, but both cars suffered heavy damage.
 The compact division offered some really close racing, as point leaders Steven Salyer and Mason Patrick had a great battle in the feature as they dueled side by side before Patrick took over the top spot late in the race to take the win. The win topped of a night to remember for Patrick in his Kirby Auto Parts Probe, who set a new track record during time trials with a 16.36 lap. Salyers, David Yoder, Todd Turvine, and Jordon Sage rounded out the top five. Salyer carried the checker for the dash, with Jim Massengill taking the heat win.
 The Ohio Valley Dwarf Car Association car were also on hand. The 20 lap main saw a familiar face in victory lane, as Covington's Brandon Bayse in his RCH Road Oil coach carried the checker once again. 
K. D Knodler, Bob Bayse, Daniel Wirrick and Jerry Russell finished second thru fifth. Brandon Bayse also won the dash.
 Jeff Ellis was the winner of the Detroit Iron feature in his DeGraff Creamery Chevy truck. 
 This Saturday (7/17) the Bowl will host a full program of Late Models, Modifieds, Sport Stocks, Compacts, Pro-4's, Dwarf car and Detroit Iron. The night will feature double points in all classes. It will also be KTH Night at the races. The first green flag will drop at 7.

Perry Firecracker 50 Winner
 
DeGraff OH: It was a scorching hot night for racers Saturday as Shady Bowl Speedway hosted the Delille Oxygen Firecracker 50 for the modifieds. A full field of 24 cars was set to take the green when a huge oil leak from Aaron Pippin put the start on hold. Bud Perry, a former American Modified Series champion took the lead  on lap one. The Edgerton OH driver put his Continental Express backed racer in the low groove forcing any passing attempt to take place on the high side. Veteran driver Mike Carroll put pressure on Perry the entire 50 laps with Rob Yelton running third. The trio ran the entire race bumper to bumper and passed under flagman Mathew Heitzman checkered flag in that order. Gregg Stapleton and Brad Williams rounded out the top five. The win put $5000.00 in Perry's bank account.
 The 20 lap sport stock main was won by Chris Abbott of Marion in the Rodney Ridgeway owned Chevelle. Abbott was glad to see the checker, as transmission problems forced officials to tow his car from victory lane. Buck Purtee, Aaron Pippin, Rodney Roush and Jesse Gade rounded out the top five. Roush was the winner of the heat race.
 Brandon Bayse of Covington continued his dominance of the  Dwarf car class as he posted still another win in his  RCH Road Oil backed racer. Bob Bayse, Donnie Eaton, Jeff Noll and Josh Sage finished second thru fifth.
 The compacts ran two features, with Mason Patrick winning the make up main in his Kirby Auto Parts Probe taking top spot. Jordon Sage turned in a strong performance to finish second, with Steven Salyer third, Jim Massengill fourth and Matt Stone fifth. The regular feature was a heartbreaker for Todd Turvene, as he lost the lead to his teammate Matt Stone coming to the checker. Stone, in his Glassman sponsored machine took the checker for his first ever feature win.  Turvene was second, with Steven Salyer third, Alex Penny fourth and David Yoder fifth.
 The Bowl will NOT be racing on Saturday July 3rd. Racing will resume on Saturday July 10th.

CARROLL TOPS SHADY BOWL AMS SPARKLER FIELD
 
by Earl Isaacs
 
DeGraff OH: (6/19) Shady Bowl Speedway fans were treated to a great night of racing with no threat of rain in what can best be described as the worst spring weather for racing in memory. The rural oval finally saw the 2010 debut of the American Modified Series with 23 cars signing in. Greg Stapleton the 09 champion, set fast time with a lap of 13.91. The roll of the dice saw the number seven turn up, forcing Stapleton to start in the 7th spot in the 40 lap main. Mike Carroll of Kettering a former AMS champ, took control of the field at the drop of the green in his McDonalds backed racer. Carroll showed his car was up to snuff by dominating the entire race. Bud Perry was able to catch Carroll, but could not mount a serious challenge. John Lawhorn, Rob Yelton and Stapleton rounded out the top five .
 The Super Cup Late Model Series made its Shady Bowl debut with a 100 lap feature. West Virginia driver Jody Harrison dominated the night setting fast time and winning the KTH 100 feature.  Kevin Kromer, Todd Peck, Harvey Harrison and Tom Williams finished secong thru fifth. Williams had a rough night, as he running second when spun by Peck and restarted on the tail. He worked his way back up to third, only to be dumped again by Peck.
 The sport stocks were also racing with Plain City driver Richard Roush winning the 20 lap bump and run feature in his Elias Special Camaro. The event saw several spins and crashes before Roush took the checker followed by Jesse Gade, Chad Fiessinger, Aaron Pippin and Rick Thompson.

 The 20 lap compact feature was won by Steven Salyer in T&A Designs Chevy . The win was far from easy as current point leader Mason Patrick pressured him almost the entire way only to finish second. Jim Massengill. Todd Turvene and Justin Pope rounded out the top five

Rain Takes Over At Shady Bowl
 
DeGraff OH: 6/12. Rain was the big winner at Shady Bowl Speedway Saturday as a late day downpour wiped out but the Pro-4 feature. It was "Kids Night" at the Bowl, with a coin toss and the Megasarus Stunt Show also on tap. The heat races went off without a hitch, as did the coin toss and stunt show.  Tha rain started to move in just as the Pro-4 feature was winding down. Steve Clarkson was leading on lap 17 when engine woes put him into the pits. While track crews were cleaning up, the rain became heavier forcing officials to call the event. The leader board showed David Gerstner would have been out front if the race had been able to resume giving him the win. Dave Sage was second after a charge from the rear of the field. Rodney Schreck turned in a strong effort to finish third, with Wayne Watkins fourth and Tom Voyle fifth.
 This Saturday (June 19th) will be a full night of racing, as the American Modified Series tries once again to get its first race in of the season. The traveling Super Cup Series late models will be on hand along with Sport Stocks and Compacts. The make up features from this weeks rain out for the Compacts and Sport stocks are also scheduled. It will also mark the annual KTH Night at the Races. Racing will start at 7.

Fan Apprecation Night A Bowl Success
 
DeGraff OH: (5/29): It was Fan Appreciation Night at Shady Bowl Speedway with the best crowd of the season taking advantage of reduced ticket prices. Fans were treated to a full night of close stock car action with six divisions doing battle.
 The late model feature was the first main event for the night. Jerry Nagel took the lead at the drop of the green flag only to be blackflagged for running under his qualifying time. Rodney Roush then took over the top spot in his family owned Monte Carlo. Roush looked to be headed for his first win of the season before fast qualifier Rob Yelton sped by on lap 17. The Quincy speedster then set sail for his fourth win in five tries in his Bellefontaine Truck Sales Chevy. Roush held on for second, with Jim Lewis Jr. third, Brandon Bayse fourth and Mark Parker fifth. Lewis was the winner of the heat race.
 The sport stocks were next on the racing card for a 20 lap event. Aaaron Pippin lead the field to the green and led the early laps before a turn one melee with Buck Purtee that put both to the rear of the field.
Second generation driver Chuck Kemp then took over the top spot. Kemp soon yielded to the lead to Chris Abbott of Marion. Rodney Roush passed Kemp in the late stages, but had to settle for a view of Abbott's Red Barn BBQ sponsored Chevelle take the checker.  Kemp claimed third spot, with Pippin fourth and Richard Roush fifth.

Yelton Takes Shady Bowl 50 Lap Late Model Main
 
DeGraff OH (5/22): It was long night for Shady Bowl fans Saturday as a prerace shower held off the start of qualifying for well over an hour. The racing was worth the wait however as fans saw nine heat races and six features before the final checker fell.
 The Pro-4's took to the track first for thier feature that saw the race turn into a two car battle between Piqua brothers Josh and Dave Sage. The race had family members split down the middle as to they wanted to see win the 20 lap main. The siblings put on a great show, with Dave trying all the tricks to pass younger brother Josh. When the checker flew how ever it was Josh in his Wyant an Silver Accounting sponsored truck out front, with Dave right on his tailgate. David Gerstner, Rodney Schrack and David Four rounded out the top five. Gerstner carried the checker for the heat race.
 In sport stock racing, Dayton's Shawn Stansell muscled his way past early leader Chad Fiessinger to take over the lead near the halfway point. Stansell, behind the wheel of his Josh and Dads Body Shop sponsored Camaro then set sail for the checker notching his first win of the season. Fiessinger was just edged out by Chris Abbott and had to settle for third. The Roush brothers, Rodney and Richard finished fourth and fifth. Buck Purtee was the winner of the heat race.
 The 50 lap Racing Legends of the Past late model main took the green flag next. Dayton's Greg Sparks busted out front at the drop of the green and was turning in a strong performance. The night turned out to be a disappointment for Sparks however as he blew an engine while leading on lap 11. On the restart Fairborn's Jim Lewis Jr took over the helm. Lewis set a torrid pace in a race slowed several times by spins and crashes. Don Mahaffey suffered heavy damage on his racer after something broke putting him hard into the backchute wall in the worst incident. Lewis looked to have the race in hand, although pressure from Rob Yelton and Bud Perry was constant. On lap 45 Lewis' night came to an end, as a valve cover gasket failed putting him into the pits. Yelton then took over the lead on the restart. Yelton, of Bellefontaine held off the late race charge of Perry to take his third win in four starts in his Bangs Salon Chevy. Perry held on for second, with Rodney Roush, Russ Bobb and Craig Borland rounding out the top five. Sparks and Lewis notched heat wins.
 The Ohio Valley Dwarf Car Association cars tackles the oval next. Brandon Bayse jumped out front early and looked to have still another feature win in hand, before mechanical woes sent him to the pits. West Liberty's Daniel Wirrick then took over the point and led the rest of the way. Wirrick's Wirrick Farms backed racer was chased across the finish line by K. D. Knoedler, Jerry Russell, Donnie Eaton and Connie Smith. Bayse was the heat race winner.
 The Modified main followed the DWARF feature with 15 cars taking the green. Jim Lewis Jr. jumped out front at the drop of the green leading the high speed freight train around the tiny oval. The Fairborn resident opened up a nice lead over second place Mike Pippin. Lewis, with thoughts of his lost late model feature win earlier in the evening surely wondered what bad luck could be next. He was soon to find out. He claimed top spot over Pippin in the 25 lapper in his A&A Bar and Grill openwheeler, posed for victory lane photos and started to do a victory burnout. Then trouble again, as something broke in the driveline leaving the winner stranded on the frontchute. John Lawhorn, Bud Perry and Mike Carroll rounded out the top five. Pippin and Lewis were heat race winners.
 The 20 lap Compact feature saw a new winner for the first time all season, as New Carlisle"s Steven Salyer stopped Mason Patricks win streak at 4. Salyer, in his family owned and L&M Automotive Chevy was chased across the finish line by Patrick, Todd Turvene, Justin Pope and Holli Eaton. Salyer and Alex Penny were winners in heat action.
 This Saturday night (5/29) will be "Fan Appreciation Night". General admission wil be reduced to $8.00 for adults. The Late Models, Modifieds, Sport Stocks, Dwarf cars, Compacts and Detroit Iron cars will be competing. Racing will start at 7.

The racing action kicked off with the Sport Stock feature. Ten cars took the green, with Bellefontaine’s Aaron Pippin

powering his way out front at the start. Jesse Gade, who was last weeks winner set fast time (14.82) and put pressure on Pippin right away. Pippin had his H&R Block backed Chevy running to perfection as he Gade and Chad Fiessinger made it a three car battle. Pippin proved to be too strong however as he took the top spot. The race ended just in time, as Pippins right front tire went flat in victory lane . Gade was second, with Fiessinger third, Chuck Kemp fourth and Richard Roush fifth.

The powerful open wheel modifieds lined up next for their 25 lap main. Sidney resident Brian Brandyberry used his front row starting spot to take the lead into turn one. Brandyberry had his hands full, as fast qualifier (13.83) Mike Carroll and Jim Lewis Jr. set up a three car race to the finish.
