$5,000 Tom Wilson BBQ Bowl Win Goes to Dustin Boney, Brian
Johnson and Chris Brockway Also Claim CMS Victories!
By Sam Stoecklin
WARRENSBURG, MO (July 4, 2010) - The Seventh Annual Tom Wilson Memorial BBQ
Bowl has come and gone with three big nights of racing over the Independence
Day Holiday weekend. Things got underway on Friday, continued on Saturday,
and then finished on Sunday night with the 40-lap, $5,000-to-win Modified
feature. A total of 90 cars in three classes checked in for racing with 53
Modifieds, 20 B-Modifieds, and 17 Street Stocks competing in a total of 17
events throughout the evening.
B-modifieds kicked off the evening’s races with three qualifying heat races.
Brad Smith, already a feature winner this weekend, took the opening heat
with Jacob Ebert, A.J. Tice, and Nic Bennett inside the top four. Troy
Carlyle grabbed heat two over Chris Brockway, Owen Evinger, and Gary Fain.
The third and final heat race saw Mike Tanner take the victory ahead of
Dalton Kirk, Lucas Isaacs, and Rusty Trimble. With the field set and Brad
Smith on pole for the main event, the b-modifieds set sail for the
twenty-lap main event. From the onset it was Smith who paced the field
pulling out to big lead during the first two-thirds of the race. Yellow
flags flew early in the event before the drivers finally settled into a
solid race rhythm with the best battles on the speedway being between
Brockway, Carlyle, Ebert, and Tanner behind the leader. Brockway had the low
side figured out with the best bite off of corner number two as Brad Smith’s
car began to creep up out of the preferred lower line. By lap seven, Dalton
Kirk moved his way into third position with Carlyle, Tanner, and Lucas
Isaacs racing inside the top six. By lap twelve Smith was walking away with
the event but a lap fourteen caution forever changed the outcome of the
b-mod main event. On the restart Brockway’s power off of corner number two
proved to be too much for Smith in the #99 on this night as he was able to
make the pass heading into corner number three for the white flag. At the
stripe, it was Brockway who picked up his first CMS feature win of the year
with Smith close behind in second position. Kirk maintained third at the
line with Lucas Isaacs, older brother Ethan Isaacs, and Jeremy Lile all
recording top six finishes by race end.
Street Stocks were next to hit the field for two heat races as Jerry Schmidt
mastered the high side off of corner number two to take the win over Bennie
Turner, Bobby Ruff and Charles Laizure. Defending and two-time track
champion Brian Back in Black Johnson grabbed the win in the second heat over
Michael Mullins, Chad Eickleberry and Thomas Roberts. For the main event,
Johnson secured the pole by virtue of his passing points totals with Jerry
Schmidt to the outside. By lap four, the Bandit Chad Eickleberry found
himself in second position just as a scary incident on the back stretch
eliminated Charles Laizure, Anthony Whitham, and Mike Higley. Brian Cox, who
was just behind this trio, had to take evasive action to miss the stalled
machines and climbed the back stretch berm in the process. All drivers were
okay after the incident and the race ultimately resumed with Johnson still
leading the way. Schmidt, Thomas Roberts, and Marc Carter all ran strong
inside the top five until a caution period slowed the field late in the
race. Upon the restart, Eickleberry looked like he had his machine dialed in
for the track conditions; however, it was too late in the race to overtake
leader Johnson who went on to his third feature win of the year. Eickelberry
finished second, Shmidt third, Roberts fourth, Carter fifth, and Bobby Ruff
sixth.
Heat-race action continued with the modifieds as passing points were used to
determine the top twelve drivers to participate in the intermission-time
redraw. Warrensburg’s Dean Wille drove to victory in the first heat over Tom
Charles, Wes Summers, and Tyler Schmidt. Terry Phillips, last year’s winner
of the big race, took heat two over Johnny Bone, Jr., William Gould of
Calera, Oklahoma, and Nic Bidinger. Veteran driver Rick Beebe drove to the
win in heat three over Cody Agler, Lucas Conley, and Yancy Shepard. The
winner of the BBQ bowl two years ago was Jeremy Payne, and he took the
victory in heat five over Mark Dotson, Justin Boney, and Don Crnkovich. Heat
race five went to Fair Grove driver Mickey Burrell over James McMillin,
Steven Glen of Hamilton, Missouri, and Travis Johnson. Previous weekly
feature race winner Jason Thompson secured the victory in heat six over Mt.
Ayr, Iowa driver Dennis Elliott, Mark Shafman of Edwardsville, Kansas, and
Keith Lewandowski. With the top twelve re-draw taken care of and position 13
thru 17 determined by the next drivers in the passing points order, two
b-main events were contested with only the top two drivers advancing on to
the night two scramble event. A total of forty-one cars were competing for
the scramble starting positions and the top twelve to set the outside row
for the main event, which led to high drama to see who would transfer out of
the two hotly contested b-mains. For the first race Justin Boney recovered
from an opening night MSD box failure to take the win and transfer to the
scramble along with Don Crnkovich of Lenexa, Kansas. The final two transfer
cars from the second b-main were Lucas Conley and Travis Johnson.
Dustin Boney, the night one scramble winner, started the main event on the
pole with night two scramble winner Dean Wille to his outside in second
place. Boney took command once flagman Hershel Thompson’s green flag waved
for the start. Shad Badder stayed close to Boney early in the event with
Jeremy Payne, Wille and Darren Fuqua all giving chase to the leader inside
the top five. The race was slowed after lap four for a caution flag and
again on lap seven. By lap ten, Boney led Jeremy Payne, Badder, Tommy Meyer,
Fuqua, Johnny Bone, Jr., and Mark Dotson. By lap ten, both Luke Feeback and
Justin Boney’s nights came to an early end; Dean Will had to leave the race
early on as well. Tommy Meyer and Shad Badder swapped sheet metal in a close
battle for fourth with Bone behind them clicking off cars lap-after-lap from
his fourteenth starting position. On lap nineteen, Myer’s strong run came to
an end with a flat tire as Jim Moody brought out a caution in his machine in
turn two after some contact with another car in turn one. At the thirty lap
mark, Boney was still pacing the field with Payne in hot pursuit behind him,
Bone had made his way into third with ten laps remaining. On lap thirty-one,
Badder’s weekend came to a close as he was forced to leave the track. Payne
stayed glued to Boney’s bumper late in the race and he even tried to mount a
final charge to the front, which was slowed by his car becoming unsettled in
turns one and two. Boney, already a four-time CMS feature winner, was just
too strong for the field as he kept Payne behind him in second to the line
for a $5,000 pay check. Bone, Jr. settled for third after advancing eleven
positions as Dotson crossed the line in fourth just in front of Terry
Phillips in fifth, Joe Walker sixth, Mikey Burrell seventh, and Rick Beebe
rounding out the top eight finishers.
