Twenty three BRP Big Block Modifieds checked into the pits of NAPA Wayne County Speedway Friday night for the first time in ten years as Sanborn NY’s Chad Brachmann had to work through the field for the win. Tom Glenn lead the first of the 30 laps from the pole but outside pole sitter Tom Mattocks took over on lap two as sixth starting Brad Rapp powered his way into second at the same time. Rapp would move past Mattocks on lap seven for the lead as Brachmann was working his way up from his 11th starting position, moving into third on lap ten. Brachmann and his Mighty Taco and Gold Bond #3 would slide under Rapp coming out of turn two for the top spot on lap 13 and drive away to expand his points lead in the series and collect his second tour win of the year. Rapp held on to second with the King’s, Rex Jr. and Rex Sr. finishing third and fourth as both had started in the fourth row. Ricky Richner finished fifth. Steve Feder, Brachmann and Rapp captured the heat wins.
Wooster’s Danny Mumaw was on a mission in the Fisher Performance Sprints as he took the lead from Mitch Harble on lap two and dominated the rest of the race as he built up a half track lead at times aboard the Finishline Auto Body, DJ Directional Services and Coblentz Trucking #16 for his second win of the season. Last week’s winner Broc Martin ran second until lap 23 when fast qualifier Andrew Palker edged past from his 10th starting position to finish in the runner up spot. Lee Jacobs finished fourth as Jack Sodeman Jr was fifth. The only glitch in the 25 lap event came on lap 12 when Brad Haudenschild clipped a retaining tire in turn four and then crashed hard into the tires around the light pole in turn one. He would walk away ok. Pocketing the heat wins were Sodeman Jr., Harble and Mumaw as Eric Williams scored the last chance win.
Driving the Schaeffer Oil, Innovative Graphics and GLR #27g, Brandon Gardner of Miamisburg started on the pole of the Thrifty Muffler Super Stock feature and held off early charges of fast qualifier Ryan West for his third win this season. Bob Daugherty took home third and late race moves by last seasons track champion, Brandon Craver, and Chase Alexander netted them fourth and fiffth to beat out Jeremy Lynch and Shawn Cains. West and Daugherty notched the heat wins.
The Mod Lites rolled into NAPA Wayne County Speedway for the first time and after Jeff Teeters and Braden Dillinger won the heats, Dillinger controlled the feature for the opening two laps when Zanesville’s Tracy Fritter took over and then scooted to the win driving the Eliminator Race Cars #59. Late race mishaps took Dillinger, Teeters and George Englert out of the top five and that would allow Alan Knepper to finish second with Lynn Knepper taking third followed by Kenny Meadows and Doug Stanley.
The Trucks saw their first action of the year at NAPA WCS and it was Galena’s Rolly Heyder sweeping the night as he topped the heat race and then following a full inversion for the start of the feature, took two laps to take the lead from John Large from his eighth starting position to park the Jack Maxton Chevrolet, Rader Collision and Nichel’s Towing #10 in victory lane. John Large held on to second as Brad Phillips, Jim Large and Gary Lillibridge rounded out the top five. Rich Johnston rolled his truck coming off turn two in the heat race but fixed it up and started the feature and finished seventh behind Dewey Powell.
All the regulars will be back in action next Friday night, July 26th and then on Friday, August 2, it will be Kid’s Night at NAPA Wayne County Speedway. Look in on the track’s website, www.waynecountyspeedway.com for all the information about the speedway.
