Haudenschild Hustles To OSCS Win At Wayne County
6 min readBy Mike Swanger
Making their first visit ever to NAPA Wayne County Speedway on McDonalds night, the Ohio Sprint Car Series 25 lap feature was claimed by Wooster’s Jac Haudenschild as the Sprint Car Hall of Fame driver would slice and dice his way through the field from his 7th starting position and take the lead for good on lap 14 and pull away for the win, his second of the year at Orrville’s Historic track. Ryan Broughton would grab the lead from the pole position to set the early pace as fellow front row starter Jason Dolick would follow with Nick Patterson, Dean Jacobs and Haudenschild in tow after five laps. Driving the Miller owned #6, Haudenschild would leap frog over Patterson and Jacobs on the next circuit and two laps later took second from Dolick and set sail for Broughton, who had built up a sizable lead. The ‘Wild Child’ used his experience of the racing surface and caught up to Broughton and raced by on lap 14. The field would be bunched together after a lap 21 caution for Dolick and Ryan Myers and as the green flag returned, Broughton would bounce off the turn two guardrail and Jacobs and OSCS points leader Cole Duncan slipped past to trail Haudenschild at the finish line with Nick Patterson taking fifth. Broughton, Dolick and Patterson posted the heat wins.
Dave Hornikel would lead the way for the opening 6 laps of the Harriger Towing Super Late Model feature but he had no breathing room as Ryan Markham, Doug Drown and Tyler Carpenter was on his bumper. Drown grabbed second from Markham on lap two and kept the pressure on Hornikel and when he bobbled in turn two, Drown and his Hall’s Auto Sales, Wooster Glass and Kar Connection #240 roared by and never looked back as the Wooster driver collected his second win of the season. Markham would take second from Hornikel on lap 11 with Carpenter moving to third with ten to go. Rick Bond would take fourth from Hornikel with four to go to claim fourth. Heat winners were Drown and Hornikel. JR Gentry barrel rolled twice in the first heat to stop the action, as he walked away with no injuries.
Canton’s Paul Holmes went flag to flag for his second win in the Action Auto Body Super Stock main aboard the #68. Bob Daugherty took second from Nick Smith on lap four and pulled alongside Holmes on lap seven but got loose in turn four and that allowed points leader Tyler Thompson to take second. Thompson would stay glued to Holmes’ rear bumper but could never get around the winner. Daugherty would finish third followed by Smith and Gary Hensel Jr. Daugherty, Holmes and Brandon Gardner captured the heat wins as Paul Kern scored the last chance victory.
Matt Aber would out race Justin Chance into turn one of the Kar Connection Rush Late Model feature and lead the way for the first 7 laps when the caution flag flew. On the double file restart, Aber took the outside position with Ashland’s Ryan Markham, who had taken second from Chance on lap 4, on the inside. Markham would use the low groove to take the lead. Charlie Duncan moved into second on lap 12, just before the red flag came out for Chuck Kimble, who was upside down in turn three as he would walk away okay. On this restart, Markham used the inside lane and kept Duncan at bay to park the Harriger Towing, H & T Demolition and Accu Shocks #5m in victory lane for the second time this year and expand his points lead. Dave Airgood won the heat.
The front row of the WQKT Mini Stock feature had Stephen Crowe and Wes Staley there and Crowe would lead the way for the opening three laps when Staley took over for the next four circuits as Millersburg’s Dale Beckett and Chris Priebe right behind the whole time. Beckett and his Kaufman Country Market and M & S Concrete #4 would take the point on lap eight. Mitch Reichard found a groove he liked and moved past Priebe with three to go. As Beckett came out of turn four for the checkered flag, his car spit and sputtered and as he crossed the finish line, went up in smoke but beat Reichard by a quarter of a car length for his second win of the season. Priebe was third as Moose Workman and Crowe filled out the top five. Beckett, Dustin Ragan and Doug Hensel paced the heat races.
First heat winner Daryl Conkle and Brandon Gardner led laps in the Flat Track Cart feature but it was second heat winner Chuck Conway leading the last eight laps for the win. Conkle would finish second with Coty Conway, Gardner and Chase Camillo filling out the top five.
All drivers were once again pursuing Contingency Connection Racer Rewards that are worth over $100,000 for the season at NAPA Wayne County Speedway.
The Harriger Towing Super Late Models take center stage next Saturday with round two of the Attica Raceway Park/ NAPA Wayne County Speedway Super Late Model Challenge. The Fisher Performance Sprints, Action Auto Body Super Stocks, Kar Connection Rush Late Models, WQKT Mini Stocks and the Flat Track Carts all will be in action also.
