WARRENSBURG, MO (July 3) - Light rain showers didn’t damper the racing
action on night two of the Seventh Annual Tom Wilson Memorial BBQ Bowl on
Saturday evening with the ULMA Late Models, ‘Mighty Modifieds, and
B-Modifieds at Central Missouri Speedway on the smooth high-banked clay
oval. Late model drivers completed the final night in their Triple Crown
Shootout event, which wrapped up on Saturday evening with a $1,500-to-Win
thirty-lap main event. Modifieds started their competition for the twelve
inside-row starting positions for their $5,000 to-Win scheduled event
scheduled on Sunday the Fourth of July. The B-Modifieds began night one of
their mini point series championship, which concludes Sunday evening along
with the Street Stocks.
Twenty two ULMA Late Models drivers were signed in on night two of their
annual track special event. ULMA member drivers were also competing for
bragging rights on the final night of three nights of racing for the ULMA
Triple Crown Shootout as well as added contingencies. The drivers competed
in qualifying heat races using passing points and a scramble event to sort
out the outside row starting spots for Saturday evening big-money race.
Shawn Rayfield, Brett Woods and Kevin Coyne declined their starting
positions from Friday evening and redrew in the pill draw which moved Zack
Green, Bryan Montgomery and John Pipes into the starting grid.
The first heat race had Dustin Vance winning ahead of Brett Woods and Kevin
Coyne. In heat number two, Javan Payne takes the checkers in front of Chris
Lapp and Shawn Rayfield. In the 20-lap scramble event Dustin Vance leads the
field to the checkers to capture the outside row starting position next Bob
Test from Jefferson City, who captured the pole position on night one. Brett
Wood, Javan Payne, Shawn Rayfield, Kevin Coyne, Danny Lorton, Chris Lapp,
Ashlee Lancaster and Joe Bartlett, completed the remaining ten outside row
starting positions for the final special feature of the night.
The thirty-lap main event started off with Test leading the early laps of
the race with Bodenhamer making the mad dash from his modified and strapping
into his Late Model for the feature, in second. Vance and Dave Meyer were
battling for third and fourth on lap five. After several yellows in the
first thirteen laps a wreck caused a mess on the front side with Jon Binning
and Kevin Coyne taking the major damage. Coyne left the track with some
front side damage and Binning had leave a lap latter with damage to his
machine. Test maintained the lead through several other cautions until late
in the race on lap 27 when Test was challenged in lapped traffic. Bodenhamer
stays patient early in the feature and makes his move to the low-side to
pass Test for the lead late in the race.
With the double checkers flying, Bodenhamer from Centerview captures the
$1,500 top prize along with winning the three night ULMA Triple Crown
challenge. Test followed close to the line in second, with Woods taking a
strong third place finish. Bob King stays consistent with in fourth with
Steven Clancy in fifth from a start in eleventh spot. Lane Ehlert rounds out
the top six from a thirteenth place starting position. The remaining top ten
includeed Dave Meyer, Chris Lapp, Joe Walkenhorst, and another strong finish
with Danny Monroe in tenth place from his start in the twentieth position.
The modified drivers started their first night of qualifying with 32 drivers
pre-registered to race and a total of 47 drivers in the pits for heat races
using passing points, two B-Mains and a 20-lap scramble event to determine
the top twelve inside row starting positions.
Heat race winners for night one included; Dustin Boney in heat one, Tommy
Myer out of Minnesota in the second heat, Darren Fuqua takes heat three,
Jason Bodenhamer pulling double duty captures heat number four, Joe Walker
grabs heat five and Jim Moody in number six. Two B-main events produced the
final four transfer spots for the scramble with Yancey Shepard and Dennis
Elliott in the first B-main and Luke Driskill and Danny Charles in B-Main
number two advancing into the 20-lap scramble with the remaining starting
positions.
Using passing points the top 12 drivers selected a starting position for the
scramble by a pill draw on the track at intermission. Luke Feeback and
Dustin Boney then started on the front row in the scramble with Boney
pushing into the early lead. Boney looked strong again this week as he has
all season with Shad Badder moving into the second spot on lap two and
Feeback hanging onto third. Many challengers moved into and out of the top
twelve positions including Rick Beebe who had to leave the track with a flat
tire on lap eleven after moving into the top five. Jim Moody also made some
strong high-side moves into seventh before spinning out in turn four on lap
sixteen. He later worked his way back up in the field to capture a starting
position for the feature.
Finishing the qualifying scramble event, Dustin Boney from Kansas City
crosses line in front of the field gaining the pole position for the Tom
Wilson BBQ Bowl Memorial. Shad Badder looks strong with a second place
finish, Darren Fuqua takes third, Joe Walker fourth and Tommy Myer, fifth.
The remaining qualifiers for the BBQ Bowl include Terry Schultz, Luke
Feeback, Danny Charles, Joey Lile, Tim Karrick, Jason Bodenhamer and with a
fabulous run from tail back of the field into the final starting spot, Jim
Moody makes the final spot to set the inside row for the Sunday night
modified special.
The B-Modifieds started off their weekend in the chase for added purse money
with 23 cars registered in the crowded pit area. Saturday night served as
night one in the special mini points series championship, which is scheduled
to conclude on Sunday evening. Extra money was laid down by promoters Earl
and Susan Walls for the mini series with the top three overall special point
earners going away with extra cash.
Heat races using the passing points system were contested to start off the
evening's program with Nic Bennett taking his first win in heat one in front
of Jeremy Lile, and Ethan Isaacs. Heat two had Troy Carlyle with heat win
number three over Chris Whalen, and Owen Evinger. In the final heat, Brad
Smith grabs the win over Dalton Kirk and Bronson Combs to set the final
starting spots in the B-Modified feature.
In the main event, Smith and Carlyle paced the field from the start in
convincing form with Smith making the move into the low-side to capture the
lead. Carlyle tried to find a way around the leader early in the race with
Bennett pressuring Carlyle for second. Smith was smooth at the front of the
field through several early yellow flags. Smith was leading at the half-way
point with Bennett second and Carlyle in third battling back an forth in the
top three. On the lap twelve restart Carlyle spins his machine in turn four
with several cars drawn into the ensuing problem area. A fuel cell rips off
of the car driven by Owen Evinger and ends up on right side up the front
side of the track finishing the night for Evinger.
In the end Smith takes the checkers for the victory with his third feature
win this season and a lead on the extra pay-out for Sunday night in the
mini-points competition. Bennett make a powerful run into second. Jacob
Ebert comes home third with Chris Brockway from his tenth place starting
position. Chris Whalen completes his best finish at CMS coming home in
fifth, followed by A. J. Tice with a solid run inside the top six for her
best finish this year. Paul West, Dalton Kirk, Troy Carlyle and Christie
Thomason rounded out the top ten.
