Kankakee County Speedway - Sept. 11th program
In UMP Late Model action, despite a season low 14 car turnout, the action up
front was hot and fast. Early race leader Frank Heckenast Sr. paced the
first four laps until a flat tire sent him pit side during a lap four
caution. Rich Bell then took over the top spot and looked to have things
well under control until contact with John Provenzano sent him spinning into
the infield on lap 18 as the duo came up on the lapped car of Glen
Thompson. With seven laps to go Provenzano had to withstand the challenges
of young Steve Dimmick, hungry for his first career win. As Dimmick raced
up alongside of Provenzano trying to grab the lead, the caution waved for a
final time with four to go. An apologetic Provenzano in victory lane, who
began in the sixth position, was able to hold off Dimmick to earn his 39th
career win at Kankakee, third on the all time Late Model wins list behind
only Jim O'Connor (84) and Roger Long (41). Dimmick recorded his second
straight top five finish, and runner-up finish was a career best. Jay
Morris had another steady run in finishing third, while point leader Mike
Provenzano found his share of problems throughout the night but rebounded to
record a fourth place finish and earn a free shock dyno reward from Simply
Suspension. Don Hilleary rounded out the top five. Heat race winners were
Steve Thorsten and Bell.
Darrin Kohler won a thrilling street stock feature, a division that seems to
keep getting better and better each week. With the highest car count in the
state and the nations top three street stock drivers competing week in and
week out, it's no wonder the action keeps fans on the edge of their seats.
Kohler, who began eighth, applied the pressure late on to race leader Rick
Thomas, who still leads the national points chase over David Hurst. Thomas
got bottled up behind a lap car with two to go and succumbed the lead to
Kohler on the high side, but on the final lap Thomas rallied with an
incredible high side run to track down Kohler for a photo finish at the
stripe. After some deliberation, it was determined Kohler had just stayed
an inch in front of Thomas at the stripe. The win was Kohler's third of the
season. Hurst held on for third, followed by newcomer Ed Lahey, and Kevin
Lenzen. Lahey won the Simply Suspension shock dyno package for finishing
fourth. Heat race winners were Robert Turner, Joel Funk, Hurst, and Thomas,
while Joe Hillman claimed the consolation race.
Cody Clubb started at the tail of the field by virtue of his August 21st
win, yet it made little difference as Clubb charged his way through the
field and was sitting in third at the completion of lap one. Clubb
proceeded to pick off leader Axle Wicker and race to an uncontested win over
Wicker. AJ Meiferdt, Nick Boring, and Scott Cupples rounded
out the top five in the final rundown. The Hornets are off next week, but
will return the final two nights of the regular season along with the I-Mods.
Unzicker wrestles victory
away from Schmitt...Cook Jr., Thomas, and Kingma all claim feature wins...
by Paul D. Bayne
August 29, 2009 - (Kankakee, IL) - KCS STAFF
OUTDUELS MOTHER NATURE AGAIN TO HOST EXCITING NIGHT OF RACING
For the second straight week, and after taking everything Mother Nature
could throw at them Thursday night, the staff at Kankakee County Speedway
rolled up their sleeves to present yet another night of dynamic racing
action, when it seemed dismal at best. Elmer Saathoff and his crew, along
with Reece O'Connor, worked diligently throughout the day Friday to prep the
track for Friday night's Military Appreciation Day. The end result would be
a wicked fast multi-grooved surface that promoted two, three, and at times,
four wide racing, throughout the evening for the better than 95 racers in
attendance.
UMP National points leader Gary Cook Jr. of downstate Deer Creek, IL,
started on the pole of the 20-lap UMP Modified feature, then ran away and
hid from the pack as he cruised to his fourth feature win of the season over
a distanced Jim Farris of Odell. The victory was also Cook's 18th of the
season. He maintains a 102 point advantage over Randle Sweeney of Kentucky
as the season winds down. Dave Porth of nearby Gardner finished third.
Last week's feature winner Nick Allen, and Travis Kohler, rounded out the
top five.
In UMP Late Model action, eighteen combatants took to the grid for the
25-lap affair. At the drop of the green flag, it was Tonica's Scott Schmitt
darting out front from the fourth spot as the leaders exited turned two four
wide. Rusty Schlenk of Jackson, MI, would eventually use the high line to
roll past Schmitt, but Schmitt was not to be denied as he came storming back
to the front. All the while, the smooth and savvy Ryan Unzicker was making
his way towards the front getting past Schlenk then focusing his sights on
Schmitt. With four laps remaining, Schlenk and Shawn Toczek got together in
turn one resulting in one of the few cautions in the race while battling for
the fourth spot. The duo emerged from their cars to discuss the matter, and
when push literally came to shove, the duo were both dismissed for the
evening, unable to continue. Upon the restart, Unzicker moved underneath
Schmitt exiting turn two to secure the spot and after Schmitt bobbled in
turn four, had no chance in catching the speedy Unzicker. Point leader Mike
Provenzano of Aurora locked the third spot, while Steve Dimmick recorded his
best ever finish with a fourth, and John Provenzano finished fifth.
Street Stock action saw UMP national and track point leader Rick Thomas of
Dwight, lead every lap of the 15-lap event, but not without heavy pressure
from his nemesis David Hurst of Lafayette (IN), and last week's winner
Darrin Kohler of Chebanse. Both whom were nipping at Thomas' rear bumper
over the closing laps. However, the veteran driver Thomas kept his
composure and held back the ensuing duo to record his fifth win of the
season. Joel Funk was fourth and Robert Turner was fifth.
The I-Mod feature saw Lowell (IN) driver Mike Kingma steal victory away from
Adam Williams in turn two of the final lap to secure the victory and
strengthen his point lead over Tim Sullivan Jr. Williams finished second,
with Kurt Allison, Nick Montalta, and Chris Arihood in tow.
On behalf of the entire staff of KCS, I'd like to thank all the fans who
came out to support the men & women of the United States military and the
race track itself. All in all, a very successful night of racing.
FEGER RETURNS
FOR CURTAIN CALL; ALLEN, KOHLER, AND CLUBB ALSO CLAIM CHECKERS
by Paul D. Bayne
(KANKAKEE, IL) - AUGUST 14 - With the skies ominously perched around the
Kankakee County Speedway area, racing was in question Friday night at the
Kankakee County Speedway, but aside from a brief light 20-minute shower, the
speed plant avoided what most surrounding areas were getting...RAIN, and
lots of it. With nearly every other track in Illinois having to cancel due
to inclement weather, the staff of KCS pressed on, limiting how much water
to put on the track throughout the day, just waiting for Mother Nature to
drop the load. That rain never did come, and more water was added shortly
before hotlaps to the bottom grooves. The result was an extremely tacky
fast, multi-grooved racing surface that promoted two and three lane racing
all during the night.
A better than average crowd was on hand despite the questionable weather.
Also making a return was last week's Late Model feature winner Jason Feger
of Bloomington, IL to give the fans an encore performance of a week ago in
his quest for a UMP National points title. Feger, who started third on the
feature grid, wasted little time in taking to the high side and charging
around both pole sitter Ryan Unzicker of El Paso, and second place John
Provenzano of Marseilles, who led the first several laps of the 25-lap
affair. Feger gave a replay of not only his pass for the lead of a week ago
that still has this racing community buzzing, but also of his dominating
performance. Once out front, Feger hit the cruise control and distanced
himself from Unzicker, who claimed second ahead of Scott Schmitt of Tonica,
Frank Heckenast Jr., and his father Frank Sr. The elder Heckenast, who
started eighth, was sent to the rear of the field under caution for speeding
through an infield corner, yet still mounted a charge back to the front to
garner a top five. Most eyes were on the battle for third between Schmitt
and Heckenast Jr., and despite Heckenast briefly speeding into the third
spot, Schmitt charged back off of turn four using the wall and the passenger
side of Heckenast's car to make the pass and retain the third spot.
Heat races went to Dwight's Clay Watters and Unzicker.
In UMP Modified action, Nick Allen of Wheatfield, IN held off a very
persistent and stubborn Kevin Hastings of Kankakee, who was trying to follow
his son Jason's lead of winning last week's 20-lap feature event. The two
diced back and forth, side-by-side, despite Allen never relinquishing the
lead. With the checkered flag high in the air, the duo exited turn four and
came across the stripe to close to call. The track officials declared Allen
the winner, with Hastings settling for second ahead of Mike Spatola, Dave
Porth, and Jamie Lomax, who rounded out the top five.
Heat race winners included Porth, Allen, and Spatola, while Shawn Scripter
scored the consi win over Gary Cook Jr.
In UMP Street Stock action, it was Chebanse's Darrin Kohler scoring another
win on the season, besting Joe Hillman, Brian Wirtz, Rick Thomas, and Ron
Donaldson. For Wirtz, it was a career best finish. Thomas, the UMP
National points leader, had some a flat tire in his heat race and was forced
to the consolation race in which he won. From his 19th starting spot on the
grid, he raced his way up to fourth and was awarded hard charger of the
race. Heat races went to Hillman, Joel Funk, and Kohler, while Thomas
grabbed the consi checkers over Richard Woodruff.
A season high 18 Hornets made their appearance with Cody Clubb scoring the
win over Scott Cupples, Axle Wicker, Dustin Stork, and Matt McCarty. Heat
race winners included McCarty and Clubb.
Join us next week as we celebrate Military Appreciation Day - Salute to the
Troops. All active military personnel will be admitted FREE, with all
Veterans getting in for half-price ($6). The program will feature a full
show of UMP Late Models, UMP Modifieds, UMP Street Stocks, and I-Mods. Pit

Feger
Electrifies Large Crowd To Earn His Fourth Victory In A Row
by Paul D. Bayne
- Kankakee County Speedway Public Relations
(KANKAKEE, IL - August 14) He's known as "The
High Side Hustler", and for good reason. Take away the high groove of the
racetrack and you might have a sporting chance. However, that wasn't the
case Friday night in front of another packed house at Kankakee County
Speedway as Bloomington's Jason Feger overtook early point man Dennis Erb
Jr. by the tenth circuit and went on to cruise to an easy $2,000 Monster
Midwest Series triumph. The victory was the fourth consecutive for Feger in
his Rhyne powered / Bob Pierce Race Car and officially served notice to the
two-time defending UMP National Champion Erb that he is here to stay and has
no intentions of going away any time soon. And while Erb finished a distant
second, he had to have been second guessing his tire choice and wishing the
race was only 30 laps in length after Feger powered by and vanished as the
final 38 laps of the 40-lap affair went green flag racing. "I came out with
a harder (rubber compound) tire and when they got hot, I could put that car
anywhere I wanted it," Feger said, after notching his fourth feature win in
a row. "It makes it a lot easier to go through lapped traffic when you use
any part of the track." In fact Feger lapped up to the ninth place car of
series point leader Eric Smith, also of Bloomington. Chasing Erb to the
stripe were Ryan Unzicker of El Paso, Mike Provenzano of Aurora, and Kevin
Weaver of Gibson City, who debuted a brand new orange John Hollifield
prepared and owned Rocket Chassis. Rounding out the top ten were Joe
Harlan, Alan Mondus, Frank Heckenast Jr., Smith, and track points leader
Aaron Ricketts. Mondus made his first ever appearance at Kankakeea
memorable one, making the tow from Lakeville, MN as part of a two race
weekend with the Monster Midwest Series. The fifteenth starting Modus
earned the FastLane Web DeZign Hard Charger award for improving his position
eight spots.
Heat races were won by Feger, Erb, and Unzicker,
while Gary Schalmo claimed the consolation win. Feger was also fastest
amongst the 26 entries tripping the timing light at 13.913 seconds, the only
car to crack the 14 second barrier.
In UMP Modified action, pole sitter Vince Cooper
of Morris, looked to have things under control until another Jason took to
the high side to run down the leader. Kankakee's own Jason Hastings powered
his Pro Powered / Bob Pierce Race Car past Cooper around the top side of
turn four with three laps remaining, then gradually moved down the track in
turn two to keep Cooper at bay over the final two circuits. For Hastings,
who started fifth it was his first win in several seasons. Dave Porth of
Gardner came home third followed by Jim Farris of Odell, who started
fifteenth, and Mike Spatola of Manhattan. Rounding out the top ten were
newlywed George Aimone, Phil Line, Kevin Hastings, Tommy Kroll, and Nick
Allen.
Heat races were won by Cooper, Aimone, and point
leader Gary Cook Jr., while Steve McCarty picked up the consi win. Cook
Jr., who also came into the night also leading the UMP National points was
running third when he developed a misfire in the motor. After several laps
of unsuccessfully rectifying the problem, Cook Jr. took his mount pit side
for the night and was officially credited with 19th-place. Twenty-six cars
were entered in the modified division. For the second race in a row,
Kankakee's Kevin Hastings earned the FastLane Web DeZign Hard Charger award
for improving his position twelve spots.
Thirty-three UMP Street Stocks entered tonight's
action, however it continues to be a battle to the finish between national
point leader Rick Thomas of Dwight, Lafayette's (IN) David Hurst, and Joel
Funk, also of Dwight. Starting from the pole, Hurst would lead every lap of
the 15-lap event and was never seriously challenged for the top spot.
Darrin Kohler of Chebanse snuck around Thomas for second and closed the gap
on Hurst, but would run out of time and laps. Thomas meanwhile, had his
hands full just hanging onto the third spot from his step-son Funk, while
mixing it up with lapped traffic in the closing laps. Eric Gaus of Herscher
continues to show promise as he rounded out the top five. Heat races were
garnered by Hurst, Thomas, Kohler, and Gaus, while Joe Hillman picked up
consi honors. While there is no award for the driver who travels the
farthest or fastest, pilot Jeff Riley flew in late Friday afternoon from
Napa Valley, CA, and with no practice laps on the car, earned the FastLane
Web DeZign Hard Charger award for improving his position eight spots.

August 1, 2009 - Kankakee, IL - FAIR
NIGHT RACES ENTERTAIN BIG CROWD
by Paul D.
Bayne
(Kankakee, IL - July 31) With a well groomed track offering up
multiple groove racing, and a high side utilized for the first time all
year, race fans were treated to an extraordinary night of competitive dirt
stock car racing Friday night, as part of the 45th Annual Kankakee County
Fair. With over 90 cars in signed in to the back pit area, getting the
show started on time was crucial, and the staff of Kankakee County
Speedway delivered.
The first feature of the night kicked off just after 9PM with the I-Mods
returning to run their feature event that was rained out the previous
week. Fifteen cars returned to do battle in a special 25-lap affair that
featured just one caution. Chris Arihood of Indiana overtook Adam Williams
on lap 10 and never looked back as he cruised to the checkers over Mike
Kingma, Kurt Allison, Kenny Carlson, and Nick Montalta.
The UMP Modified feature was up next to run their 20-lap feature. Fast
qualifier Nick Allen of Wheatfield, IN started on the pole and took off
like a jackrabbit leaving his rivals in the dust, while UMP National &
track point leader Gary Cook Jr. of Deer Creek, IL fought tooth and nail
for the second spot. Morris native Vince Cooper, who was disqualified in
the fast heat for a fuel cap issue, started eighth and rallied to claim
third over Dave Porth of Gardner, while Odell's Jim Farris snared the
fifth spot. Heat races were taken by Farris, Jason Hastings, and Cook Jr.,
as Kevin Hastings grabbed the consi win.
The night was not without a somber moment as it was announced before the
start of the street stock feature that Marie Kroll, mother of UMP modified
driver Tommy Kroll and grandmother to street stock drivers Brian Wirtz and
Nate Kroll was taken to a local hospital where she later passed away from
respiratory failure while attending the Fair. With the starting grid
already on the track, drivers shut down their motors as everyone observed
a moment of silence in her honor. She was 83. Our thoughts and prayers go
out to the families and it is our hope they will be comforted in this time
of their loss.
With a field of 37 street stocks on hand, just making the show was a quest
in itself. Perhaps the most entertaining feature of the night was
highlighted by a wild goose chase at the front of the pack with point
leader and three-time winner Rick Thomas, Darrin Kohler, David Hurst, Dave
Rudisell, and Joel Funk all vying for the top spot. Thomas survived to
earn his fourth triumph of the season, while his step-son and racing
teammate Funk made a last second charge off of turn four to claim second
over Kohler, Rudisell, and Hurst. Heat race wins were claimed by Thomas,
Kohler, Hurst, and newcomer Derek Bunning, while Damon Miller and David
Billingsley both picked up consi wins in their 2009 debuts. Brandon
Roundtree was the first recipient of a newly established rule that rewards
a Top 5 driver from the previous week with a guaranteed starting spot in
the following week's feature.
The final event of the night was a 15-lap shootout for the Hornet class,
and it came as no surprise that Bradley resident Axle Wicker took home top
honors over a hungry Matt McCarty, and Ryan Brooks, while Allen Line and
Jason Kemp rounded out the top five.
The staff of Kankakee County Speedway would like to say thank you to the
huge crowd of fans who supported us and the Kankakee County Fair, as well
as, Country Chevrolet of Herscher, WVLI / WIVR FM, The Homestead
Restaurant, Kroll Graphics, and Creative Graphics & Design. We also like
to give a special thanks to Steve Emme of Bradley for pacing our feature
fields in his restored 1969 Chevy Camaro convertible Indianapolis 500 pace
car just like the one his late-father Earl used to take him to the races
in.
Be sure to join us next week, August 7th, at 730PM for a full program of
racing with UMP Late Models, UMP modifieds, UMP Street Stocks, and I-Mods
presented by U-Pull-It Self Serve Auto Parts of Chicago Heights and Miller

Just when you think that the gates have been
locked up for another indefinite period of time, along comes an unlikely
hero in Tom Smith to save the season at Kankakee County Speedway.
Smith, a Posen based landscaper by trade, also parlays his free time to
promote the Plymouth Speedway in Northern Indiana, as well as pilot his
Ford Fusion asphalt late model stock car in the SuperPro Series.
With July 24th's racing program being sponsored by Court Street Ford, it
was only fitting that the re-opening effort be car load night, where
fans were admitted by the car load for just $20. The area racing
community responded to the efforts of track personnel and drivers alike,
who distributed flyers widespread to get the word out, by packing the
grandstands to near 80% capacity, and the pits were again lined with
over 100 racers and crews.
In UMP Street Stock action, David Hurst claimed the checkers after
overtaking leader Darrin Kohler, who himself wrestled the lead away from
pole sitter Brandon Roundtree midway the through the 15-lap event.
Three-time winner this year Rick Thomas, who also currently leads the
UMP Stock Car national points chase by just seven points over Hurst,
would factor in early on but finish a disappointing fourth, followed by
Billy Wicker. Heat races were won by Roundtree, Dustin Hubert, Thomas,
and Joel Funk, while Don McCarty and Brian Wirtz earned consi wins.
In UMP Modified action, it was national UMP
point leader Gary Cook Jr. of Deer Creek, IL claiming his third win of
the year handily of Nick Allen of Wheatfield, IN, finished runner-up
followed by a trio of locals, Phil Line, Dave Porth, and Kevin
Hastings. Porth rallied his way towards the front after starting
twelfth, but it was his son Mike, who claimed FastLane Web DeZign Hard
Charger honors finishing eleventh after starting twentieth. The race was
deemed official after 23 laps due to a time limit, and a fast moving
storm front approaching. Heat race winners included Cook Jr., Hastings,
and Allen, while Kyle Cooper of Morris picked the consi win.
The UMP Late Models were the final feature
to hit the track Friday night, with the weather threatening in the
distance, officials hurriedly got the 25-lap feature underway. Mike
Provenzano earned his first ever win at Kankakee County Speedway, but
had his hands full near the end with Scott Schmitt and Rusty Schlenk
battling for second, and Aaron Ricketts and John Provenzano tussling for
fourth behind them. The race was checkered on lap 23 under yellow as
rain began to fall at a pace too unsafe for racing.
Next Friday night, July 31st, the Kankakee
County Fair Night races sponsored by The Homestead Restaurant, WVLI /
WIVR FM Radio, Kankakee Speedway Promotions, Inc. and Kroll Graphics,
will be on tap with adult admission just $8, and pit admission just
$15. Racing slated to begin at 7PM. The UMP Modifieds, UMP Street
Stocks, Hornets, and I-Mods will be featured. The I-Mods were added
because their feature was rained out Friday night. They will be running
a 25-lap feature only event.
The staff of Kankakee County Speedway would
like to thank all those who came out to support the new promotional
efforts, especially those giving the sport of dirt track racing a try
for the first time. We hope you all will continue to join us and
introduce a new friend to racing the next time you return. We'd also
like to thank all of our patrons by doing their part in helping keep the
Kankakee County Fairgrounds neat and clean.
Note: It was discovered by
mistake, that several drivers in the UMP Modified consi race were paid
Street Stock tow money instead of Modified tow money. Those drivers
will be compensated next week when they sign in.

CAPTURE WINS AT KANKAKEE
June 26, 2009
(Kankakee, IL) - One-hundred seventeen cars in five classes stuffed
the pits on a beautiful Friday night, as racing resumed after a one week
hiatus. The night's racing action was highlighted by 55-year-old Dave Porth
picking up his first feature win of the season, while earning $1,500 in the
process, as he held off Chad Osterhoff, Gary Cook Jr., Jim Farris, and Lance
Dehm, in a race that featured just one caution.
Track points leader Aaron Ricketts outlasted his
nemesis Mike Provenzano in a marathon UMP Late Model feature that was
strangely enough,caution filled. Joe Harlan garnered third followed by
Richie Hedrick and George Scheffler.
Fast qualifer Rick Thomas continued to show his
dominance in the Street Stock division as he edged out Darrin Kohler by a
half-car length to earn his third triumph of the year. Billy Wicker, Brian
Wirtz, and Joe Hillman rounded out the top five.
Brad DeYoung grabbed the top spot in the 15-lap
I-Mod feature as he bested Kenny Carlson, Jim Walker, Tim Sullivan Jr., and
two-time feature winner Kurt Allison.
Brandon Wirtz captured the Mechanics Race piloting his brother Brian's #1w
street stock to victory lane.
In Miller Lite Match Race action, Nick Allen
edged Matt Bachman in a tightly contested event 2-1, Jason Hastings defeated
Dave Porth 2-1, Kevin Hastings beat Vince Cooper 2-1, and Shawn Scripter
surprised Lance Dehm 2-0. See tournament brackets on the KCS website for
full results.
Racing resumes next Friday night with a special
Fourth of July Celebration. Promoter Doug Judy exclaimed midway through
Friday night's racing program that anyone holding a ticket stub from June
26th, that brings a friend out to the track, will get in FREE! The night
will feature plenty of giveaways and a spectacular Fireworks presentation by
"Mad Bomber Fireworks Productions".

Billy Moyer cashes in with UMP Summernationals victory at
Kankakee County Speedway
by Paul D. Bayne
The eagerly anticipated UMP
Summernationals Tour returned to the Kankakee County Speedway for tour stop
#2 of the grueling 27-stop "Hell Tour". A capacity crowd was on hand to
welcome fifty-two late model competitors representing nine states, all with
their eye on the $10,000 top prize.
Five 10-lap heat races were needed, with the top three from each
transferring into the 40-lap feature event. The remainder of the 21 car
field was filled with three B main transfers and three UMP provisional's.
Matt Miller of Ohio, took the first heat, holding back Brian Birkhofer, who
worked his way past Illinois driver Steve Sheppard Jr. in the closing laps.
Two-time defending UMP Summernationals champion Dennis Erb Jr. won the
second heat after leader Jeep Van Wormer of Michigan got crossed up with a
lapped car late in the heat race. Van Wormer recovered though in time to
hold off local driver Ted Loomis.
The third heat was all Billy Moyer's. The driver from Batesville, AR led
wire-to-wire to score the win with relative ease, but the battle for second
and third saw a pair of home state drivers, Ryan Unzicker and Kevin Weaver,
secure the final transfer spots.
Heat four was a terrific battle between Wisconsin's Terry Casey, Indiana's
Scott James, and Illinois drivers Rodney Melvin and Eric Smith. James would
get by Casey midway through the race, with Melvin holding back Smith for the
final transfer spot.
The fifth and final heat race went to Missouri driver Will Vaught, but hot
on his heels were a pair of local favorites Jason Feger and Shannon Babb.
Jason McBride and young Brandon Sheppard each won C Main events to transfer
themselves into the B Main, and while Sheppard would climb to a sixth-place
finish in the B Main, neither would get into the transfer positions for the
A Main. Randy Korte easily won the B Main event over Brian Shirley and Wes
Steidinger. UMP provisional's went to Justin Ratliff of Kentucky, and Eric
Smith of Illinois, while Aaron Ricketts was awarded the track's provisional
by virtue of being the current point leader at KCS.
When the field rolled off, it was Billy Moyer and Matt Miller making up the
front row, followed by Dennis Erb and Scott James in row two, and Will
Vaught and Brian Birkhofer in row three. From the drop of the green flag,
Moyer looked to establish control of the race by taking his Victory Circle
M1 chassis to the hub, while Miller committed himself to the high side.
Moyer wasted no time showing his early dominance as he built up a
straight-away lead over Miller, James and Erb. Miller would briefly grab the
lead from Moyer on lap 15, but that only served as a wake up call to Moyer
to drop the hammer.
However, with ten laps to go, Miller would have his hands full with a tricky
berm at both ends of the track and coming off turn four his car slowed after
wrestling the berm. James, with no where to go, made a sudden move to the
left to avoid Miller's car and in doing so, made contact with Erb, who was
looking to scramble his way by both drivers on the inside. The end result
was a flat left rear tire on Erb's car and damage to James car. Both drivers
were able to continue after a visit to the pits, but neither would factor in
the end result. Though words got heated in the pits following the race, both
were able to walk away and put the night's exchange behind them.
Their demise would allow Birkhofer to take over the third spot, but all eyes
were on the trio of Babb, Feger, and Rodney Melvin, who were rocketing up
through the field. Babb and Feger used the top groove while Melvin used the
bottom. But with the laps dwindling down, Moyer would stretch out his lead
once again to score the win and claim the $10,000 top prize. Miller came
home second, holding off Birkhofer, while Babb would claim fourth after
starting fifteenth. Melvin would sneak past Feger to grab fifth after
starting fourteenth, while Feger started tenth. For his eleven position
gain, Babb would earn the FastLane Web DeZigns Hard Charger award.
In UMP Modified action, former UMP national champion Denny Schwartz looked
to have things well under control until a late race flat tire sent the
Ashmore, IL driver pitside, thus relinquishing the lead to Gary Cook Jr.,
who has already scored a win two weeks ago at KCS. Cook would again pick up
the win followed by Kankakee's own Phil Line, who rebounded very nicely from
an ill car of a week ago. Lance Dehm finished third, while Danny Schwartz
and Dave Porth rounded out the top five. The younger Schwartz, who began in
fifteenth position, would earn the FastLane Web DeZigns Hard Charger award
for improving eleven positions.
In street stock action, Darrin Kohler would score the win after starting
fifth. Pole sitter and early leader David Hurst, making his first visit to
KCS this season, finished second, while Nate Payton continued his string of
good finishes with a third place. Point leader Rick Thomas finished fourth
while "Electric" Joe Hillman rounded out the top five. Heat races were won
by Hurst, Payton, and Thomas, while Don McCarty won the consi event. In
other news, Shannon Shutter of Aroma Park, was involved in a violent hit
with Dustin Hubert, after Shutters car slowed along the front stretch and
was tagged in the rear by the oncoming Hubert. Shutter blacked out initially
from the impact, and other than a lot of soreness and stiffness to his neck
and back, will be alright to climb back in the car as early as next week.
Promoter Doug Judy was all smiles as he grabbed the microphone to address
the overflow crowd. With such a tremendous turnout of fans and drivers
alike, he announced to the crowd not once but twice, that tickets from the
UMP Summernationals race will be good for half-off admission to next week's
Father's Day Special, which features a $1,500-to-win UMP Modified Special
and the first visit by the Illini (Midgets) Racing Series. Street Stocks and
Hornets will also be on the card.
Full report
forthcoming probably Sunday.

Dennis Erb Jr. will return to defend his two-time UMP Summernationals reign
along with upwards of fifty (50) UMP Late Models, expected to be on hand for
the second stop of this grueling 27 stop tour. Not since 2007 has the tour
made a stop at Kankakee, due to the track's closure a year ago, but JBD Race
Promotions, Inc. is excited to be hosting some of the finest late model
wheelmen from throughout the Midwest battling in a $10,000-to-win, 40-lap

Shirley, Kevin Weaver, 2004 Summernationals titlist Don O’Neal, Scott &
Brandon Sheppard, Ted Loomis, Richie Hedrick, Joe Harlan, Aaron Ricketts,
Ryan Unzicker, Scott Bull, Daren Friedman, Eric Smith, Frank Heckenast Jr.,
Rodney Melvin, John & Mike Provenzano among many, many more.
A near capacity crowd is expected for this premier event, so race fans are
encouraged to bring their families, bring a friend, and arrive early. All
seating is open on a first come, first served basis. Concession stands will
be open early and late to accomodate your thirst and hunger cravings.

********************************************************************************************
June 05, 2009 (Kankakee, IL) The
Friday Night Lights were turned on for the third consecutive week, as
beautiful weather again blessed the fans of Kankakee County Speedway.
One-hundred four race cars signed in to compete in the four classes Friday
night, and with a smooth track, minimal cautions, and some good racing to
boot, fans were able to see the entire show and still be on their way home
before 11PM.
For the second week in a row, thirty three street stocks registered
including two Thunder Cars, but it made no difference to last week's winner
Rick Thomas, who used his outside pole position starting spot to jump out to
an early lead and then hold off the challenges of Joel Hillman, Nate Payton,
and step-son Joel Funk. Funk would get around Payton and Hillman for the
second spot and look to reel in his step-father, but time would not be on
his side, as Thomas was able to hold on for the win. Hillman, Payton, and
Darrin Kohler rounded out the top five, respectively. Heat race wins
belonged to Hillman, Thomas, and Kohler, while Dave Polak scored the consi
win.
Whether it be an old car or a brand new one, the end result was still the
same for veteran driver Kevin Weaver of Gibson City, as he over took early
pacesetter Ted Loomis after several laps and never looked back. "The
Flatland Flash" would simply go uncontested as he sped to victory lane over
last week's feature winner Aaron Ricketts, Loomis, John Provenzano, and Mike
Provenzano.
And with twenty-seven UMP Late Models on hand, three heats and a consi were
run to determine the starting grid. Derek Chandler, George Scheffler, and
Loomis all scored heat race triumphs, while Jay Morris earned the consi win.
Loomis was the night's fast qualifier at 14.628, and he electrified the
large crowd with a hellacious run in the fast heat race, as he went from
last to first in one super impressive lap. Some fans called that "worth the
price of admission alone".
Thirty-two UMP Modifieds checked in this week, and in a strange twist of
fate, Jim Farris of Odell, who destroyed his primary car in a wild roll-over
a week ago, returned with the borrowed car of Bobby Crego/Jason Klopp, to
score the wire-to-wire win over last week's feature winner Gary Cook Jr.,
Lance Dehm, Vince Cooper, and Mike Spatola. Farris, who builds his own FRP
(Farris Race Products) Chassis used the borrowed ride previously last
Saturday at Fairbury to register a third-place finish.
Heat race wins belonged to Dave Porth, Kevin Hastings, Shawn Scripter, and
Farris, while Dave Baldwin and George Aimone scored consi checkers. Fast
qualifier honors went to Dehm with a 15.976 effort.
Kurt Allison repeated as the I-Mod feature winner, as 12 cars lined up to do
battle. Week one winner Mike Sullivan Jr. came home second, while Kenny
Carlson, Mike Kingma, and Bob Fortner, rounded out the top five.Rich Rish, .
Heat race action was also taken by Allison.
In the lone Miller Lite Match Race of the night, Indiana's Shawn Scripter
easily defeated Kankakee's own Phil Line 2 - 0, who was hampered with an
ailing car. Scripter will now move on to face Lance Dehm of Chatsworth.
Race Recaps to follow sometime today.

Press Release
Apr. 06, 2009 (Bourbonnais, IL) The decision has been made to push the
2009 season opener at KCS to April 24th or the Grand Re-opening event
featuring the Monster Midwest Series. Unfortunately, Mother Nature has
been the biggest hurdle to overcome as of late, and track prep crews are
awaiting a good three to four day window of dry weather so that the
track can be opened up, aired out, and the new black dirt can be mixed
in properly before being sealed in with the vibratory sheep's foot. It
our goal to provide the best possible racing surface for both the
drivers and fans, and this setback with the weather will actually be a
blessing when all is said and done.
We apologize for the inconvenience this may have caused, but ask that
you all remain patient and bare with us as we attempt to make everything
right not only to protect our investment, but to provide a safe and
competitive racing surface for the drivers.
We are also planning duel practice sessions on the weekend of April 18th
- 19th from 12pm to 5 pm each day. We ask that all drivers wishing to
practice on either of these days fill out all the necessary registration
and tax forms to alleviate the log jam that will surely happen at the
season opener.
If you have any questions in the mean time, you can direct your calls to
Doug Judy at 219-988-2208.
Feb. 25, 2009 (VALPARAISO, IN) JBD Race Promotions is
proud to announce the addition of the Don $ Bonnie Hammer's
Monster Midwest Series for UMP Late Models as part of April 24th's
Grand Re-opening Extravaganza Night. Details of this gigantic event
will be forthcoming soon. Along with the $5,000-to-win Monster Midwest
Series for UMP Late Models, the UMP Modifieds will be competing for
$2500-to-win, while the UMP Street Stocks and I-Mods will contest for
$1,000-to-win each. The night will also mark the introduction and
beginning of the Miller Lite Modified Match Races, a season long
head-to-head tournament that will award $1,000 to the overall champion
in August. It promises to be a night of racing you won't want to miss
as part of your 2009 racing calendar.
The staff & management would like to invite each and
every race fan, young and old to join us in what promises to be a
thrilling night of racing action.

Track
History
The Kankakee County
Speedway has endured several name changes over the years, and believe it
or not, it's location has changed as well. From it's birth in 1940's, with
no champions on record, racing was held at the old fairgrounds at Horse's
Old Fair Park, on North Indiana Avenue by the Schuyler quarry next to
bradley.
Racing was held at the
current Kankakee Fairground Speedway from 1950-1957 on the half-mile.
However, at the conclusion of the 1957 season , the tracks closed due to a
drivers strike for a few yearsonly to resume racing in the Kankakee area at
Sugar Island Speedway in the early 60's. Racing continued at the Sugar
Island Speedway from 1962-1966, before moving back to the current
fairgrounds site as Kankakee Speedway from `967-1984 under Wayne Etzel and
company. Then from 1985-1987 in returned to Kankakee Fairgrounds Speedway
under Glenn Moren, and from 1988-1999 it returned back to Kankakee Speedway
under the Izzo Family. From 2000-2004 the O'Connor family promoted the
Kankakee Motor Speedway, before the Osterhoff Family took over in 2005 when
it was known as Kankakee Valley Motor Speedway. Sherri Heckenast & Family
took the reigns in 2006-2007 and returned it back to Kankakee Motor
Speedway. Now Kankakee County Speedway begins to write it's own history.
It is believed that
Tommy Kroll and Jim O'Connor are the winningest drivers in the history of
the Kankakee speedplant. In fact, Kroll has won track championships in four
different decades and still remains very competitive to this day. Mick
Roach, with his three track titles, has the unenviable distinction of having
the longest drought between championships at twenty-five years, 1974 thru
1999.
Joe Harlan and Bill
Davis have the distinction on being the only drivers to win track
championships in three different classes. Harlan won the Late Model title in
2003, Modifieds in 1995, and the street Stock crown in 1994.. While Davis
won titles in 1980, and 1986 in Late Models, 1985 in Sportsman, and
1997-1998 in Modifieds.
Two different drivers
have won six track Championships at Kankakee. They are Jim O'Connor of
Kankakee ('63, '66, '75, '76, '77, '82) in Late Models, and Tommy Kroll of
Chebanse ('77, '84, '87, '89, '96, '07), the first three came in the
sportsman class, his fourth coming in Limited Late Models, and the latter
two coming in Modifieds. Only three drivers have won consecutive titles. Jim
O'Connor (LM) ('75, '76, '77), Roger Long (LM) ('87, '88, '89), and Billy
Wicker (SS) ('99, '00, '01)
Billy Wicker has won
five titles in the Street Stock class ('99, '00, '01, '06, '07), as has
the aforementioned Bill Davis.
Four drivers
have captured four titles apiece. Don Waldvogel, Roger Long, and Bob Pohlman
Jr all winning four Late Model crowns, and Steve McCarty being triumphant
four times in Street Stocks.
