By Ryan Pearson
Orrville, Ohio (August 25, 2012) Under beautiful skies NAPA WCS officials swung open the gates for kids night treating the young fans to wagon rides, candy and driver autographs. The night’s festivities were sponsored by Dzugan Fire and Rescue.
In the Fisher Performance Sprints Kory Crabtree jumped to the early lead but on lap four he retired with mechanical issues forcing an early ending to a good run. This handed the lead over to Lee Jacobs who had Andrew Palker, Aaron Middaugh, Danny Mumaw and Chris Myers in tow. Jacobs held a comfortable lead but Palker and Mumaw raced each other hard for position. On lap ten Mumaw closed on Palker for second as they raced entered turn four Mumaw slid under Palker but Palker was able to brake early and come back under Mumaw to hold second place. On lap seventeen with the top three cars very close Palker dove under Jacobs to take the lead. As Palker drove off turn one he hopped the cushion and fell back to third place. This allowed Mumaw to get a run and power past Palker and Jacobs to take the lead. Taking home the win in exciting fashion was Mumaw just ahead of Palker, tenth starting Chris Myers, Jacobs, Middaugh and Broc Martin. Palker and Mumaw won heat races.
In the Lias Tire Super Late Models last week’s feature winner George Lee and Ryan Markham lead the field to the green flag. Lee motored to the point just ahead of Markham, Shane McLoughlin, Weston Hutchinson, Charlie Duncan, Rick Bond and DJ Cline. On lap five Markham slung shot around Lee to snatch the lead. By lap nine McLoughlin pulled up to the leaders and made the race for the point a three car race. As Markham pulled up on lapped traffic he got pinned behind a back marker and that allowed Lee to jump back to the point. On lap seventeen McLoughlin retired to the infield with mechanical issues. At the finish line it was Lee taking home his second win in a row at WCS. He was followed by Hutchinson, ninth starting Corey Conley, Markham and Duncan. McLoughlin, Duncan and Lee won heat races. Hiram Bachman won the B-main.
In the Bremenour Electric Modifieds Mark Dickson powered to the early lead ahead of Kevin Morehouse, Chris Basich and Norm Aronhalt. A tight battle waged for second place between Morehouse and Basich with Morehouse coming out just ahead of Basich on lap three. On lap six Morehouse began applying heavy pressure to Dickson the leader as he used the high line around the track. On lap seven Morehouse slipped past Dickson to take the lead. Morehouse started to pull away some from the pack but Jesse Wisecarver and Travis Dickson were charging to the front. Claiming his second victory in a row at WCS was Morehouse followed by Mark Dickson, Travis Dickson, Wiscarver, Basich and Aronhalt. Wisecarver and Morehouse claimed heat race victories.
In the Thrifty Discount Muffler Pure Stocks Jeremy Dickerson jumped out to the early lead just ahead of Justin Patterson, Glen Underwood, Bob Daugherty, Paul Holmes and Don Baney Jr. The battle for the lead kicked off right at the drop of the green flag as Patterson hounded Dickerson for the lead. Caution flag flew when Holmes motor let go spewing fluid on front stretch ending a solid top five run. On lap eight Dickerson still held the point ahead of Patterson and Daugherty but both Patterson and Daugherty were hot on Dickerson’s heels. Lap nine Patterson pulled to the inside of Dickerson and Daugherty pulled to the outside and all three drivers dragged raced down the front stretch three wide. At the start finish line Daugherty took the lead by the narrowest of margins just ahead of Dickerson and Patterson. As the cars approached turn one Dickerson spun out bringing out another caution. When the racing resumed Daugherty held off a charging Patterson to take the win. Baney Jr, Rich Frame and Shaun Cains rounded out the top five. Underwood, Todd Swim and Dickerson won heat races.
In the powerful Mini Stocks Roger Rush Jr and Bradley Hensel lead the field to the green flag. Rush tried to wrestle the early lead from Hensel but was unsuccessful. As Hensel started to pull away from the field the racing second on back was fierce as Jerry Adkins, Jason St. John, Doug Hensel, Moose Workman and Brett Adkins duked it out. By lap eight Hensel stretched his lead but you could throw a blanket over second through sixth positions. At the checkered flag it was Hensel ahead of Workman, Doug Hensel, Brett Adkins, and Jerry Adkins. St. John and Workman won heat races.
