Chillicothe, OHIO
(August 28, 2010) - Danny
Smith once again found a way to victory lane. This time it was
as a car owner with
his hired-young gun Cole Duncan as the driver in his
first-ever K-C main. Duncan, in the Smith number 4,
claimed the 30-lap/$2,500 feature win in the Goodyear
410 sprint car main at Jeff and Vickie Schrader's
K-C Raceway, where Rob Stambaugh dominated the Advanced
Services AMRA Modified main for his first K-C win,
while Jamie Adams claimed the Dan Reno Hobby Stocks
and Tom Partin won the Legends race.
Oh what a wild Goodyear 410 Sprint car main! Pole-sitters Ron Blair and Jimmy
Nier were the first in the ring with Blair taking the top spot and Nier making
a crossover move to regain the lead coming out of turn four of the first lap.
Blair scrubbed of some speed, allowing Californian Randy Hannigan into the mix.
By lap three the trio of Nier, Hannigan, and Cole Duncan mixed it up with Duncan
momentarily taking the lead on lap four.
The trio charged on, all within inches of one another, as they inched
toward lapped traffic. Duncan again showed himself the point, but Nier
reclimed the
lead with Hannigan close in tow. By lap ten Dale Blaney made it a four car
race as a blanket could have covered the front runners. At the conclusion
of lap thirteen
youngster Mitchell Harble clipped the front wall, triggering a series of high
end-for-end flips that nearly took out the flagstand. Harble came to rest upside
down, but when the car was righted hopped out of the car to a throng of cheers
from the large "Carload Night" crowd.
When the race resumed Jimmy Nier dominated the three-car chase as Blaney's tires
took a few laps to garner some heat. Duncan and Hannigan thrashed around for
second with Nier in control up front. Duncan made the pass for second as Hannigan
again scrubbed off some speed, allowing Blaney to climb back into the mix.
Duncan gave chase in torrid fashion, until finally putting a final slide job
on Nier in turn one of the 26th circuit. Nier tried to return the favor in turn
three, but couldn't make it stick as Duncan squeezed back by Nier for good coming
out of four.
Duncan held on for the emotional win. Rounding out the top ten were Duncan, Jimmy
Nier, Dale Blaney, Randy Hannagan, Ron Blair, Kory Crabtree, Jimmy Stinson, Aaron
Higgins, Charley Fisher, and Nick Nabor. Hard Charger of the race was Charlie
Fisher in a 15th-to-9th run into the top ten.
Owner Danny Smith said, "We got it (the car) close and Cole did
the rest! We put together a brand new car today and this is the first
time out for it."
Cole Duncan said, "I saw the opportunity and I took it. I'd like
to thank Danny and his crew for the chance to drive this car and the
chance to win. This
is just so cool....soooo awesome!"
At the start of the AMRA Modified main eight cars were caught up in wild first
lap melee. (Mark Bailey, Donnie Stewart, Tom Blecher, P.J. Harper, Chuck Yeley,
Dusty Boley, Eric Arledge, and Tim Rayburn) All continued albeit with some bent
metal.
On the restart Rob Stambaugh jumped into the lead over Fireball Pinkerton. Pinkerton
tried Stambaugh several times, but as a result fell victim to Luke Jordan. Two
laps later Brian Whiteman took over third from Pinkerton.
That pass set off a race-long battle between Jordan, Pinkerton and Whiteman.
While Stambaugh literally dominated by at least a half track, both Pinkerton
and Whiteman slipped past Jordan. Pinkerton and Whiteman put on a show with Pinkerton
at one point up on two wheels after contact on the backchute.
Bob Crace, Jr. advanced to fifth with a consistent run after early battles with
Jeremy Rayburn, Josh Edmisten, and son-in-law Jason Cottrill.
Stambaugh went on for the win for owner Mark Betts in his Pierce Chassis/ Mike
Rush M&M Heads powered #67.
Stambaugh said, "I've been coming here for a lot of years and we
finally got a win. It feels great! We had a nice track to race on tonight
and the car
worked anywhere. I'd like to thank the fans. Without them this wouldn't be
possible."
Hard Charger of the race was Dusty Boley in a 15th-to-9th run into the top ten.
Rounding out the top ten were Stambaugh, Fireball Pinkerton, Brian Whiteman,
Luke Jordan, Bob Crace, Jr., Jeremy Rayburn, Josh Edmisten, Jason Cottrill, Dusty
Boley, and T.J. Harper.
Brandon Thompson did everything he had to except run over Jamie Adams. The youngster
just couldn't. After all Adams built his car. Thompson took second place early
in the event and saw nothing but the yellow quarter panels of Adams the rest
of the crash-filled feature. Adams had another great run and is now reportedly
10-of-12 this season in the K-C Hobby Stocks.
Gray recovered for a solid third place finish. The defending champion withstood
constant pressure from Joe Buskirk and Brad McCown, who had one of his best runs
of the season. Sam Park worked hard to get Butch Eblin, but settled for seventh
while claiming hard charger honors in a 15th to 7th place run.
Rounding out the top ten were Adams, Brandon Thompson, Bruce Gray, Jr., Joe Buskirk,
Brad McCown, Butch Eblin, Sam Park, Brandon Mather, Jason Holstein, and Tim Cutler.
Said Adams in victory lane, "I have a lot of people to thank and am fortunate
to start up front. It sounded like a high speed demolition derby behind me.
Brandon gave me a good run tonight."
Rounding out the top ten in the Legneds cars were Tom Partin, Matt Nichols, Gary
Rowland, Rob Puckett, Jacob Miller, John Gutman, Steven Partin, and Kevin Schoonover.
John Lawhorn edged Mike Mason and Dan Swank in the Vintage American Race Cars
feature. Other old-timers in the field included Chuck Dillon, Ed Lewber, Cliff
LaJouness, Scott Swain, Mike Swain, George Oliver, and Mike Ellis.
