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.

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 Pro 4 main turned out to a batle betwen David
Gerstner and Dave Sage as they battled the entire 20 laps. Sage was forced to
watch Gerstner take the checker for the second straight week. Rodney Schrack,
Tom Voyles and Steve Clarkson finished third thru fifth.
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

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.

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.

before a turn one melee with Buck Purtee that put both to the rear of the
field.

heat race.

in victory lane. Bob Bayse, Jerry Russell and Don Eaton rounded out the top
five. Brandon Bayse was the winner in heat action.

the green. Mike Pippin of Degaff took advantage of his front row starting spot

outside. No one was able to get by him on the high side, as he claimed
his first modified feature. Jim Lewis Jr., Brian Brandyberry, Steve Snapp and
Brad Yelton rounded out the top five. Brandyberry and Gregg Jackson took heat

leader before a three wide pass put him back to third, with Todd Turvene
taking over the lead with Mason Patrick in second. Turvene led the next
several laps before Patrick took over the top spot.

Pizza Parlor Ford Probe. Steven Salyer was able to close the gap on Patrick,
but had to settle for second. Turvene, Stone and Justin Pope finished third
thru fifth. Salyers and Stone were winners of heat races.

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.

show , with the Armageddon jet funny car putting on a thrilling car meltdown
after the races.
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.

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. Brandyberry was
flawless in his driving and left no openings for Carroll or Lewis as the trio
circled the tiny oval. Brandyberry’s Premier Contractors racer took the
checker over Carroll and Lewis. Brad Yelton and Brad Williams rounded out the
top five. Heat races went to Rob Yelton and Bud Perry.
The late model 25 lapper followed the nights trend, with pole sitter Jim

counters to take the win. Brandon Bayse, Bud Perry, Rodney Roush and Gregg
Sparks rounded out the top five.
The 20 lap Pro-4 feature was one of the best races of the night, with Steve
Clarkson, fast qualifier Dave Sage and Dave Gerstner had a great three car
battle. Clarkson from Houston, took the low groove, with Sage taking the high
line. The duo ran most of the event that way with Gerstner lurking in third.

his Rosewood Machine and Tool Ford led the money lap to take the win. Sage,

Pro-4 event. Bob Bayse took the early lead with Brandon Bayse and Daniel Wirrick
in hot pursuit. The trio went at it the whole race side by side and sometimes
three wide. Wirrick in his Wirrick Farms ride made a daring late race pass to
take the lead and hold off Brandon Bayse and Bob Bayse in a close finish. Eric
Giles and Donnie Eaton took fourth and fifth. Brandon Bayse carried the heat
checker.
