Ellert and Schaeffer Have Career Nights
at AMS
Angola, IN (August 2, 2008) - It was Ladies Night at the Angola Motor Speedway
Saturday night as many of our lady fans went home with gifts
from Curves, Avon, and other great vendors. The Budweiser Super
Late Models were first up as they hit the track for a 30 lap
make-up feature that was rained out on June 28. Justin May started
on the pole but problems sent him to the pits early while Joe
Ellert paced the field. Pressure was coming though as Jack Landis
closed in made the pass on Ellert 11 laps into the race. Landis
grabbed another feature win as Ellert held on for an impressive
second place finish, Brent Jack was third, Mike Kugler fourth,
and Jeff Parr fifth.
The Superior Auto Modifieds saw Dave
Nester and Tom Wiedman have a heated battle for the early lead
but contact on lap 2 sent both drivers to the back of the pack.
That was all that Erik Schaeffer needed as he took over the
top spot and held off a charging Steve Minich Jr for his first
win of the season with Rick Coe, Scott Moyer, and Josh Nester
rounding out the top 5. Tom Blackburn and Rick Coe were the
heat winners.
After having problems last weekend and
working on his car all week Tommy Little wasn’t sure what
to expect when the Jonny on the Spot Street Stocks took the green
flag. What he got was a perfect racecar, Little battled lap
after lap with points leader Robby Henderson but would not be
denied as he visited Tri State Line-X Victory Lane once again.
Henderson would hold on for 2nd, Bob Thompson had a great run
in 3rd; Justin Oberlin was 4th, and Brent Dirrim 5th. Little
and Ken Barkey took the checkers in the heat races.
A fierce points battle is heating up
in the Smith Enterprises Mini Stocks as Clif Bennett has been
getting closer and closer to rookie Logan Parker as the season
winds down. Bennett was looking for his second straight win
but he would have to work past early frontrunners Justin Dubois
and Taylor Oberlin to get there. Bennett slipped beneath Dubois
on lap 5 and took the lead but would soon have Parker right behind
him. Parker put on a great show driving the wheels off of his
car but ran out of laps as Bennett took feature win number 3
on the season, Parker took another second place finish, Justin
Dubois was third, Taylor Oberlin fourth, and Kyle Moonen fifth.
Bennett was also the heat winner.
The Budweiser Super Late Models were
back on track for their second feature of the night as a great
field of 18 cars took the green flag. It was Joe Ellert out
front early again and Jeff Parr right behind. Parr would challenge
Ellert and even get under him a time or two but this night belonged
to Waterloo’s Joe Ellert as he picked up his first career
win in the Super Late Model division. Parr would hold on to
second with Brent Jack, Landis and Mike Kugler rounding out the
top 5. Ellert and Larry Wiseman Jr were the heat winners.
This Saturday Night Conaway’s Rollerway
will be on site with their bounce a way and other great activities.
It will also be an ALLSTAR weekend for the Smith Enterprises
Mini Stocks and Jonny on the Spot Street Stocks with Dash’s
and Australian Pursuits. The Superior Auto Modifieds and Budweiser
Super Late Models will also be on track. Gates Open at 3:00 Practice
at 4:00, Time Trials at 6:00, and racing at 7:30. Don’t
forget about the famous AMS Dollar Menu including $1 FAYGO sodas!
