Brown wins W.O.W. finale at 24 Raceway & Holder continues
winning ways in A-mod
by: Ron Lueck - 24 Raceway, Moberly, MOMOBERLY, MO (Sept 20) - Moving
from his third starting position, Brian Brown of Grain Valley led every lap
to take the season finale for the O’Reilly Auto Parts Winged Outlaw Warriors
at 24 Raceway Saturday night. The win was the first for Brown as a car owner
in his Super Clean/Ditzfeld Transfer Maxim and his third series win on the
year. Following him the entire distance was Jonathan Cornell in the Kiowa
Builders/M&N General Consultants Maxim.
The race got off to a rocky start as on the original start, Pete Crall
spun out. The second attempt at green was called back and on the third try
Crall got together with Kyle Bellm with both being able to restart. The
fourth try proved successful with Brown moving out front. The race would
stay green until lap six when Ryan Marsch, Tony Crank, and Bellm got
together to bring out the yellow. All three would continue. The final yellow
came out on lap sixteen as Crall came to a stop on the frontstretch ending
his night. Rusty Potter stopped during the yellow ending his night as well.
Finishing behind Brown and Cornell were Josh Fisher in the Rusty
Fisher/ASAP Properties Maxim followed by Dennis Moore Jr. in the G&D Auto
Electric Maxim. Rounding out the top five was Curtis Evans in the Arctic
Cat/Creason Pipeline Services Maxim. Charging through the field was B
Feature winner Don Droud Jr. in the Jeff and Jerry Smith Eagle as he passed
ten cars to finish sixth. Mike Trent ran seventh with Randy Martin, Mark
Shirshekan, and Jon Corbin rounding out the top ten.
With his eighth place finish, Martin captured his fourth straight WOW

Best car count of the season and no rain this Saturday night at 24 Raceway
provided for a great show for the Fall 360 Classic! The season's track
champions received their respective trophy or plaque awards at intermission,
prior to the feature racing, and the five Track Champs had their photo taken
on the track in front of the grandstands. David Holder, A-mod champ; Gary
Wilson, B-mods; Clinton Dale in the Sportsman class; Tom Creed, Hobby
Stocks; and Rob Chase from the Hornet class all posed for the track
champion's group photo after the individual classes got their awards handed
out for the top ten in each class this 2008 season.
A-modified champ David Holder led all the laps for yet another win, with
Curt Potter running in 2nd for the first half of this race, but giving up
that position to Hank Delonjay and Kelly Smith in the second 10 laps.
Delonjay and Smith were mixing it up in the later laps, but Delonjay came
out with the 2nd place in his first return to racing this year. Smith
finished 3rd, Potter came in 4th with brother Steve Potter next in 5th.
Season champ for the Moberly Motors B-mods, Gary Wilson, also led all the
laps to get his 7th win this season, his first since two months back on July
19.
In the Sportsman class, it was a son & father front row start for the
Agee family. Son Derrick took over the lead with dad Pete in 2nd, and held
it for 5 laps, but Iowa's Shane Weller proved to have the car to beat as he
moved out by double diget car lengths over both Agees. Derrick Agee took 2nd
with Joni Petersheim finishing in 3rd. The Hobby Stocks finished in a time
shortened event after five cautions, with plenty of 3-wide racing in this
one. Kevin Renzelmann led the first 3 laps, but it was Alan Hultz leading
from lap 4 on to the end of the race for the win.
The 4 cylinder Hornet race saw 2008 Track champ, Rob Chase, lead all the
laps in this one too for his win. Brooke Hassler provided the most exciting
incident of the night with a flip in front of the stands on the first lap.
Hassler tangled with Robert Winfrey just behind Chase and got the worst of
the deal, but was ok upon emerging from the car. Winfrey went on to finish
in 2nd after the red flag from clean-up and a complete race restart.
Thanks go out once more to all the sponsors for providing of the kid's fan
club giveaways. Thanks again to Rhonda Acton for organizing of the 24
Raceway Jr. Race Fan Club. Kristina Ancell won the 50/50 pot of $136.
UPCOMING EVENTS:
Sept 27 - Bob Hubert Memorial B-modified Championship Shootout sponsored by
MHC Kenworth of Columbia (along with the other 4 classes from the weekly
racing program). Special 30 lap format
Oct 4 - Mud Drags, west side of the grandstands
PROMO: This coming week September 27th at 24 Raceway, MHC Kenworth of
Columbia will be sponsoring the 6th annual Moberly Motors B-modified
Championship Shootout with it's custom format of 30 laps in two segments. At
least one new 2009 Kenworth T 660 over-the-road tractor will be back on the
grounds for some up-close viewing. The sales staff at MHC Kenworth will also
be around early enough to answer any questions prospective buyers might
pose. Look for the tent in the parking lot area at the track's entrance to
the grandstands. Numbered rain checks from the September 6th race will be
honored for this night.
The first segment of the race will be a 20-lap event with the top ten
qualifying to move on. A ten minute pit stop for fuel and adjustments to
that group of drivers placing one through ten will preceed a redraw for
their starting positions. The second segment of the B-modified race will see
those ten qualifying drivers then going full tilt for another ten laps. It's
10 laps, 10 B-mod racecars & $1000 to the winner! Join in watching these B-mods
light up the track this coming Saturday night! This will be the final night
of circle track racing on the half mile dirt track for the season and it's
ending with a good one.
Admission for Saturday, September 27th is $15 to the grandstand for adults,
with kids, ages 6 to 12, still only $5 to see the 6th annual Bob Hubert
Memorial B-Modified Championship Shootout and the other four classes of A-mods,
MFA Oil / Break Time Sportsman, Hobby Stocks, and 4 cyl. Hornets race, with
30 laps for the B-modifieds in their special format. Rates for the popular
Family Pass will be $35, which includes admission to the grandstands for 2
adults and 3 children, ages 6 to 12. Kids under 6 are always free. The
grandstands and pits will open at 4 p.m. A pit pass is $25. Hot laps begin
at 6:15 following a short drivers' meeting. Plenty of door prizes are given
away to both adults and kids alike in the grandstands each and every
Saturday night. "Dirt Track Racing at its Best" will take place again,
September 27th at 7pm at 24 Raceway, east of Moberly, Missouri on U.S.
