Drown Streaks On At Wayne County

Orrville, Ohio
Saturday, August 22, 2015
By Mike Swanger

Fans and drivers were in the racing mood on School Spirit night (won by Waynedale) and to see if anyone could collect the bounty on Wooster’s Doug Drown in the Lias Tire Super Late Model Main on Santmyer Oil night. Drown would be looking to sweep the Attica Raceway Park/ Wayne County Speedway Late Model Series as he would grab the lead on the opening lap from his third starting position as Ryan Markham would power past the front row starters of Lauren Longbrake and Brad Malcuit on lap two and then with several cautions flying in the early laps, stay on Drown’s rear bumper. On a lap 11 restart, Markham would slide in front of Drown in turn one and two to momentarily take the lead but another caution flag would wave before the lap could be completed to negate Markham’s move. Markham could not repeat the move on the ensuing restart as Drown was ready for him and as the race wound down, Markham was never more than 2 car lengths behind but Drown and his Hall’s Auto Sales, Nationwide Vehicle Protection and Wooster Glass #240 never slipped to record his ninth win at WCS and win all six of the ARP/WCS races plus picking up $500 for stopping the Bounty hunters. He also won the Innovative Graphics award by winning the most heat races in the Series. Larry Kingseed moved into third on lap 9 and finished out in that spot while Longbrake and Malcuit held off challenges by Mike Davis and Matt Irey to finish in that order. Heat winners were Malcuit, Drown and Markham.
It looked like it was going to be a run away win for Brad Haudenschild in the Fisher Performance Sprint feature but Lady Luck was not riding with Haudenschild on this night. He would build up more than a straightaway margin over the field as Wooster’s Broc Martin, Jimmy Colvin, Danny Mumaw and Jordan Ryan dueled for second. Mumaw would drop with mechanical problems on lap 14 as T J Michael now moved into top five contention. A lap 21 caution for Clay Riney would slow the action and during the caution, Haudenschild’s right rear tire started to lose pressure and as the green waved again, Haudenschild could not hang on to the lead as he would go to the pits with Martin inheriting the lead. Pulling away from the pack, Martin would put the Santmyer Oil, Orrville Trucking and Jim Smith Enterprises #83 into the WCS winners circle for the first time this season. Michael would outmaneuver Ryan on the last restart to take second with Shawn Hubler scoring a fourth as Nick Patterson started 15th and filled out the top five. Colvin and Haudenschild would be the heat winners. Jac Haudenschild would flip in the first heat race and did not start the feature.
The Aamco Transmission Super Stocks would chase after a $1,000 to win 20 lap main and Canton’s Paul Holmes would start on the pole with his #68 and the first half of the race would have Nick Smith hounding him. Following a lap 10 caution, Smith would drop from the field on the restart with Chase Alexander taking a short lived second place as 14th starting Tyler Thompson moved in to challenge Holmes for the top position. Tony Cline, Don Baney, Bob Daugherty and Brandon Craver were tightly bunched as they ran for top five contention. With two circuits to go, Thompson began to fade as Alexander returned to second but Holmes had pulled away to secure his second win of the year. Baney held off Daugherty for third as Cline, in his 1st race of the year, finished fifth. Smith and Alexander topped the heat races.
Rick Mardis would out race Justin Chance into turn one and take the lead of the Harriger Towing Rush Late Model main but points leader Charlie Duncan would take over the top spot on lap three as Mardis would spin on that lap to bring out the yellow. Markham would now be second and on the double file restart, heat winner Duncan elected to start to the outside and when the green flag waved, Markham squeezed into the lead and then led the rest of the way for his second win in a row and third of the season aboard the Ashland based H & T Demolition, Cool It ThermoTec and Rocket Chassis #5m. Duncan finished second as Mardis recovered for third with Chance and Hiram Bachmann rounded out the top five.
The WQKT Mini Stock feature was a physical beat and bang race that saw 1st heat winner Stephen Crowe upside down and early race leaders Chris Priebe and Jerry Adkins leaning on each other, Michael Workman, of Shreve, quietly worked his way through the field from his 9th starting position, took the lead from Adkins with five laps to go and put the JD Empire Trucking and S&M Motorsports #41w into victory circle for the sixth time in seven weeks. Adkins finished second as Greg Thompson was third followed by Nova Martin and Kevin Markey. Adkins and Thompson also picked up heat wins.
Scott Delaney started at the rear of the Flat Track Cart feature but it only took him six laps to get to the front of the field to score his sixth win of the season. Jamie Johnson, Dan Delaney, Chuck Conway and Jason King filled out the top five as Steve Reed posted the heat win.
Billy Dawson led all the laps in the heat race and the feature for his seventh Mini Wedge feature win of the year. Driving the Harriger Towing, Billy B Enterprises and Amsoil #7b, the Lakeville youngster was followed by Donnie Danley, Braxton Wilson, Logan Duncan and Brooklyn Wilson.
The Contingency Connection Awards were again handed out as nearly $100,000 of yearly awards from many national companies are given away weekly at WCS.
Next Saturday night, August 29 will be Season Championship night as all class’ will be running for double points as the points races wrap up.
