"CRAMER AND GILL VICTORIOUS AT BROWNSTOWN; LONDEREE AND BARBER CROWNED TRACK
CHAMPS"
By: Chris Nunn
Jesse Cramer of Bloomington, IN finally broke through at the Brownstown
Speedway, and took home the $1,200 to win season finale. The other big winner
was Brent Londeree, who took home the coveted Brownstown Speedway points
championship.
The 30 lap feature saw Cramer take the lead on the first lap from his fourth
starting position. He would lead lap number one, with a three wide battle for
the third spot between Matt Boknecht, Brady Short, and Rick Hines behind him.
Boknecht would take the third spot, with Short fourth, and Hines fifth. Lap
number five would see the first caution fly, as Broc Burton would spin in turn
four. On the restart, another three wide battle would take place, this time for
fifth. Adam Sasser, Earl Plessinger, and Rick Hines would do the honors in this
battle, with Plessinger taking the spot. At the same time, Londeree would go
door to door with Boknecht for the runner up spot. Boknecht would take the spot,
relegating Londeree to third. Short would then get around Londeree for the third
spot just before the caution would fly for Brandon Reed on lap eight. On the
restart, Cramer would lead the field to the cone, with a battle for fourth
taking place between Londeree and Plessinger. Londeree would hold the spot,
keeping Plessinger in fifth. Just a couple of laps later on lap 12, the caution
would fly again for Burton in turn two. When the green flag flew on the restart,
Plessinger would get by Londeree for the fourth position. Londeree would then
lose the fifth spot to Shelby Miles just a lap later. Things would start to heat
up at the front of the field, as a three wide battle for the lead would shape up
between Short, Boknecht, and Cramer. The battle would end however, as the
caution would fly for Reed once again on lap 16. When the green flew on the lap
16 restart, Cramer would start to pull away from the second place car of
Boknecht. Cramer continued to stretch his lead until the caution would fly again
on lap 22 for Bubba Woods in turn three. When the green flag flew again, Cramer
would start to pull away on the bottom shelf. Behind him, Short would get around
Boknecht for the second position. Boknecht would then lose the second spot to
Plessinger. As Cramer would stick to the bottom groove, Short tried desperately
to re
el him in, powering off the corners down the straights. Plessinger would
ultimately catch Short, making a great move in turn one to take second with just
a couple of laps to go. Short would get back around Plessinger just in time to
watch Cramer take his first ever win at the Brownstown Speedway. Following
Cramer at the checkers were Short, Plessinger, Boknecht, and J.D. Roberts. The
winning sponsors on the #12 of Cramer are: Amsoil High Tech Lubricants,
Colortyme, Bells Exhaust, Monroe County Pizza, and JB Masonry. The car is a
Lightning Chassis owned by Tina Cramer
John Gill of Mitchell, IN led every lap of the 25 lap main event at the
Brownstown Speedway to put an end to the 2004 racing season at the 1/4 mile
speedplant. Mark Barber of North Vernon, IN took home his second Late Model
track championship by virtue of his fifth place finish. Barber also won the Late
Model championship back in 2001.
Gill would lead the field to the green flag, with Frankie Coomer blasting past
Barber for the second position coming down to complete lap one. Dan Sturgeon
would then get around Barber for the second spot as the field completed lap
four. Barber would then fall back one more position as Mike Jewell would battle
with him for a few laps before taking the fourth spot on lap eight. At the 10
lap mark the top five was Gill, Coomer, Sturgeon, Jewell, and Barber. At this
point, Gill would start to head into lap traffic, and would lose a bit of his
lead over Coomer. Coomer would have more than the lap traffic to worry about, as
Sturgeon would move in under him for second. Sturgeon and Coomer would battle
door to door for numerous laps until Mike Bechelli would bring out the caution
on lap 18. When the green flag flew on the restart, Gill would jump to a four
car advantage over the field. Sturgeon would get around Coomer coming into turn
one on the restart, taking the second position. Coomer would then lose the third
spot to Jewell just a couple of laps later on lap 21. As the laps wound down,
Sturgeon would catch Gill a little bit, but would fall back a little ways as
Gill took the checkers for the third time this season at Brownstown. An
adjustment was made to the final running order, as officials penalized Sturgeon
two positions for jumping the final restart. The adjusted top five ran like
this: Gill, Jewell, Coomer, Sturgeon, Barber. John Gill is sponsored by Harrod
Farms, Central Painting, Perrys, and Jacks Lounge. The chassis is a Rocket,
powered by an AMS Racing Engine

BARNETT, PETRO, AND WALTERS ALL GRACE BROWNSTOWNS VICTORY LANE
By: Chris Nunn
Steve Barnett, Randy Petro, and Bub Walters all came home victorious at the
Brownstown Speedway on Saturday evening. Barnett passed race leader Dan Sturgeon
on lap number nine to take home the Late Model win. Petro inherited the lead in
the Super Stock Special when then race leader Mike Fields broke on lap five, and
then led the rest of the way for the victory. In the Bomber division, Walters
took the lead away from Ray Godsey Jr. on lap five of the main event, and would
lead the remaining 20 laps for the win in the Bomber Special event.
The 25 lap Bomber main event started out with a father-son combination on the
front row, as Ray Godsey Sr. and Ray Godsey Jr. would lead the field to the
green flag. Ray Sr. would lead the first lap only to have Ray Jr. pull alongside
for a battle for the point. As they would wage war for second, Clifton Barron
and Bub Walters would go door to door for the third position. As Ray Jr. took
the point from Ray Sr., Walters would grab the third spot and set sail for the
Godsey's. On lap number four, Walters, Ray Sr., and Ray Jr. would go three wide
for the lead. Walters would end up with the point, with Ray Jr. in second, and
Ray Sr. in third. Ray Sr. would then have to battle with Steve Godsey, as he
would pull alongside for third. The yellow would fly on lap six for the spun car
of Chad Plance in turn two. When the green flag would fly on the restart, Barron
would get around Steve Godsey and Ray Sr. for the third spot. Steve and Ray Sr.
would battle for the fourth spot, with Steve taking the position on lap seven.
The second, and final yellow would fly on lap eight for Paul Owens in turn
three. Walters would bring the field down to the cone for the restart, as behind
him a battle for second would take place between Barron and Ray Jr. Barron would
take the spot, relegating Godsey to third. While that was happening, Matt
Cummings would barge into the top five with a pass on Ray Sr. on lap 11.
Cummings would then reel in the fourth place car of Ray Jr., and get around him
on lap 14. Cummings was not done yet, however, as he would take third away from
Steve Godsey on lap 18. Up front, it looked as if Barron was catching Walters
for the lead until contact with a lapped car would hinder Barron's momentum.
Walters would then cruise onto victory in his Cummings Machine Shop, Cummings
Racing Engines, Prince Excavating, BC Race Cars, Dee Gees Body Shop, 16th Street
Marathon #71 followed by: Barron, Cummings, Steve Godsey, and Jason Combs would
round out the top five
The Super Stock feature would run 30 laps as part of their special event, with
Mike Fields and Brad Cummings leading the field to the green flag. Fields would
bolt out to the lead, and would lead the first lap. Behind the leader, Randy
Petro would ride the highside to second, getting around both Mike Cawood and
Cummings. As the field completed lap three, disaster would strike Fields as he
would break coming down the backstretch while leading. The yellow would fly, as
Fields would stall in turn three. With Fields out of the race, Petro would
inherit the point, and would take the field to the green flag. Behind him, Kevin
Applegate and Cawood would battle for the second spot, with Applegate coming out
with the position. The yellow would fly again on lap eight for the spun car of
Mike Vest on the frontstretch. Petro would one again lead the field to the cone,
with Applegate and Cawood in pursuit. Behind them, Gary Trammell and Jack Frye
would battle for the fourth spot. Trammell would move to fourth with the pass on
lap nine. Cawood and Applegate would then go door to door for the second spot,
with Cawood taking the position on lap 14. With ten laps to go, Petro had a
three quarter straightaway lead over Cawood. No one would challenge Petro, as he
would take his Tyrees Trim Shop, Kathy's Home Cooking, Moonlight Vinyl Designs,
DASCO #95 to the checkers followed by Cawood, Applegate, Trammell, and Jay
Miller would round out the top five.
The 25 lap Late Model feature would see Dan Sturgeon and Mark Barber lead the
field to the green flag. Sturgeon would lead the first lap with Barnett and
Barber battling for second. Barnett would take the spot away from Barber on the
second lap, and would challenge Sturgeon for the point. Barnett would keep
poking his nose under Sturgeon at various points, but could not get around him.
The battle would end, as the yellow would fly for Rickey Riggle in turn two.
When racing resumed, Sturgeon would lead the field to the green flag, with
Barnett right on his bumper. Behind them, Dion Deason would get around Barber
for the third spot. On the ninth lap, Barnett would slide under Sturgeon for the
point coming out of turn two. Behind them, Barber would get the third spot back
from Deason on lap 15. With just five to go on lap 20, Barber would catch
Sturgeon and hassle him for the runner up spot. Barber would not be able to get
around Sturgeon, and would stay in third. No one would catch Barnett, however,
as he would cross the finish line in his JD Byrider, Spears Auto Parts, Tony
Stewart Racing #20 ahead of Sturgeon, Barber, Deason, and Doug Ault would round
out the top five.
