Tim
Cox of Park City, IL set fast time in HOSS qualifying with a lap of 15.583
seconds, just a tick off the track record of 15.539. The current record is held
by Kevin Feeney, who wasn’t on hand to defend the record Friday night. Cox also
won his heat race.
In the
thirty lap HOSS Feature Michael Tarlton of Albion, IN seemed to have things
well in control as the laps ticked off although Sondi Eaton, Crawfordsville, IN
did try to mount a challenge a couple of times. With just one lap to go the
complexion of the race changed quickly as fast-qualifier Tim Cox went from
third to first on the final half-lap of the race. Tarlton and the other leaders
encountered lapped traffic on that lap and Cox found a hole and shot around
Tarlton for the win. Tarlton finished second while Jason Fuller of Bremen, IN
finished in third.
In
racing as part of the Papa Johns Cup I-Wireless Stock Car Championships there
were a couple new visitors to
Larry
Clausen held off Tim Plummer for his first win of the season in the Miller Time
Modifieds. Clausen had a big lead erased near the halfway point of the 30 lap
feature when a spinning car brought out a YellowBook yellow flag. When green
flag racing resumed, Clausen started to pull away again but Plummer reeled him
in several laps later. Plummer couldn’t wrestle the position away however and
settled for second. Brian Allen finished
third.
The
Performance Concepts Late Model feature saw Kyle Hinrichs of Swisher pick up
his first career win in the division. The sixteen year old started on the point
for the 25 –lap feature and he maintained a quite comfortable margin throughout
the race. He finished 2.6 seconds ahead of the second place car of
Kevin
Korsmo got it done again in the Budweiser Sportsmen feature working his way
into command of the race from the fourth row. The win was the seventh of the
season for Korsmo. Andy Duggan applied
some pressure in the closing laps after also leading the race earlier but as
the leaders passed the Lint Millwright Start-Finish Line Korsmo posted a .240
margin of victory. Brian Franks finished
in third.
There
was also racing on the quarter-mile on Friday night and again a season first winner
prevailed at the line in the Barron Motor Supply IMCA Stock Cars. Bob Ahrendsen
bolted into the lead on a lap 5 restart and then held off Brad Dvorak to lay
claim to his first win of the 2005 season. Doug Simon got around Dvorak with
just one lap remaining to take second with Dvorak finishing third.
In
