Jamey Adams Wins 1st Annual Street Stock Nationals
The finale of the 1st Annual Street Stock Nationals was a doozy as Laurelville, Ohio’s Jamey Adams would make an amazing pass for the lead with two laps left to go and go on to win the 1st Annual Street Stock Nationals and the $2,500 payday. Jeff Arnold won the Montgomery Machine & Fabrication Steel Block Late Model feature, Steve Cruse dominated the Outlaw 4 Cylinder feature and JR Dermer takes the Stock 4 Cylinder feature.
In the $2,500 to win Street Stock Nationals event John Powell Jr and Brandon Mather would bring the inaugural event to the green flag. John Powell Jr would quickly assert himself as the leader with Ed Leasure taking over second. The field would get comfortable in their positions clicking off 15 laps before the first caution would fly. On the restart Jamey Adams would pass for the third position as the top three cars would be under a blanket for the next 30 laps. A lap 46 caution would cause the field to bunch back up and cars would prepare for a four lap shootout. Jamey Adams would take advantage of that caution as he would pass Leasure for second on lap 47. On the following lap Adams would make a daring pass coming out of turn four as Adams would go extremely high against the guardrail to pass Powell for the lead. Adams would complete the pass in turns one and two and go on to win the biggest race of his career. Mike Brust would be credited with hard charger as he would take his 18th place starting position and finish 5th. Rounding out the top ten was Jamey Adams, John Powell Jr, Ed Leasure, Brandon Mather, Mike Brust, Jim Rayner, Timmy Glassburn, Tommy Mossbarger, Glen Underwood and Evan Seitz.
In the Steel Block Late Model feature, outside pole sitter Kenny Newhouse would have mechanical failure in turns one and two and would bunch the field up causing a maylee in turn 3 with Pete Brunton hitting the turn three exit post backwards, destroying his car. Three more cautions within 5 laps would happen before the cars would start to click off the laps. Jacob Curnutte would inherit the lead after the first lap maylee and looked to be the man to beat. On lap 14 Curnutte would slam into the turn 4 wall ending his night and handing the lead to Jeff Arnold. Arnold would take full advantage of the gift as he would go on to win the Steel Block Late Model feature. Rounding out the top ten behind Arnold, Tommy Johnson, Ted Johnson Jr, Rex Frohnapfel Jr, Jay Dunaway, Carl Dillow, Jacob Curnutte, Tom Bigham, Randy Wynett and Chris Maynard. Tommy Johnson would win the $100 bonus for having the highest average finish for the two nights.
In the Outlaw 4 Feature it was all Cruse all the time for the second night in a row. Steve Cruse would take his pole position and win in dominating fashion. Rounding out the field behind Cruse would be Chip Mack, Derek Davis, Todd Ervin, Randy Baker, Joey Johnson, Chris Strickland, Arnold Topping and William Caldwell.
In the Stock 4 Feature it was good night for first timer JR Dermer but a horrible night for points champion Todd Miley. Miley would go for the third position on lap 4 when Miley would flip his car 3 times landing on all four wheels. Miley would have to be cut out of his car as precautionary measure as he complained about severe back pain. When the racing resumed Dermer would go on to win his first victory of the year at McCown’s Jackson County Speedway. Behind Dermer was Michael Skeens, Austin Smith, Miley and Brandon Allen.
