NASRA John Bradshaw Memorial at Ponderosa Speedway Reset for July 16

Junction City, KY-July 11, 2010- Following last week’s postponement for inclement weather, Ponderosa Speedway track promoters Larry, Chad, and Sarah Yantz will return with racing action at the 3/8 mile D-shaped clay oval better known as “Kentucky’s Baddest Bullring” on Friday July 16 as the National All Star Racing Association returns for the 8^th Annual John Bradshaw Memorial event, paying $5,000 to win for Super Late Models. This race was originally scheduled for July 9, but was rained out and will now be contested on Friday July 16.

On Friday July 16, the National All Star Racing Association Late Models will be in action at Ponderosa Speedway in a full program of practice, time trials, qualifying heats, B-Mains, and the 50 lap, $5,000 to win 8^th Annual John Bradshaw Memorial A-Main event. Also on the July 16 racing program in weekly racing series competition will be the Bob Allen Motor Mall Pro Late Models for $600 to win, Clayton Homes UMP Modifieds for $600 to win, and the D&D Pallet Recyclers UMP Sportsman have been added to the racing card as well for $300 to win. It will also be double track points for the Bob Allen Motor Mall Pro Late Model division on Friday July 16.

Activities for the July 16 event at Ponderosa Speedway will see the pit area open at 4:00 p.m., with the grandstand area open at 5:00 p.m. A mandatory drivers meeting takes place at 7:00 p.m., with practice set for 7:15 p.m. Time trials will begin at 7:45 p.m., with racing taking the green flag at 8:30 p.m. Ticket prices for July 16 in the general admission area will be $20 for adults, $10 for children ages 6 to 12, and children under age 6 are free.

The John Bradshaw Memorial first appeared on the Ponderosa Speedway schedule in late 2003 after the untimely passing of the late Mr. Bradshaw in May of that same year. The first race was contested as a combined event with the Fall Classic and was won by Campbellsville, KY racer Johnny Wheeler. Current UMP Modified racer Benji Lee of Loretto, KY won the 2004 contest in what was the biggest win of his racing career driving a Super Late Model. Eddie Carrier, Jr. of Salt Rock, WV was the victor of the 2005 race, while Greg Johnson of Bedford, IN grabbed the event win in 2006. Mike Marlar of Winfield, TN won the 2007 version of the Bradshaw event on a hot and humid night that saw the thermometer touch 102 degrees that August afternoon. The Independent Racing Series would sanction the race in 2008 and Rob Blair of Titusville, PA made the 11 hour tow worthwhile in grabbing the $5,000 payday in the race. Victor Lee of Danville, KY would make a successful debut for new car owners late in the 2009 season by winning the event and is the defending champion of the race. There has yet to be a repeat winner of the John Bradshaw Memorial race heading into the 2010 edition of the race.

John Bradshaw Memorial Fast Facts and Tidbits

-This event was added to the Ponderosa Speedway schedule in late 2003 as a combination event with the Fall Classic as a tribute to the late John Bradshaw, who had taken over at the promotional helm at “The Pond” to begin the 2003 season, but tragically lost his life early on after running only a handful events early in the 2003 season.

-In the inaugural event that was contested in 2003, Johnny Wheeler of Campbellsville, KY would drive the Yantz Motorsports owned Rayburn Race Car mount to the checkered in what was a combined John Bradshaw Memorial/Fall Classic event as Jerry Denson had taken over as the promoter at “The Pond”. The race was sanctioned by the STARS Battle of the Bluegrass DirtCar Series and saw 2003 series champion Mike Marlar score a runner-up finish in the race. Timmy Yeager, Mike Jewell, and Jesse Lay would complete the top five.

-The O’Reilly NARA Battle of the Bluegrass DirtCar Series presented by Arizona Sport Shirts was back to sanction the 2004 version of the John Bradshaw Memorial and what a race it was, as Steve Barnett, Aaron Hatton, Benji Lee, and Don O’Neal went at it “tooth and nail” over the final 15 circuits of the race, with Raywick, KY native Benji Lee scoring his only to date career O’Reilly NARA Battle of the Bluegrass DirtCar Series event win. Lee drove the Kenneth Harlow owned entry to what is the biggest career win to date for the second-generation Marion County youngster. Hatton, Barnett, O’Neal, and Mike Jewell would complete the top five.

-For 2005, the O’Reilly NARA Battle of the Bluegrass DirtCar Series was back to sanction the 3^rd Annual John Bradshaw Memorial race and the inaugural “BoB Late Model” champion from 2002, Eddie Carrier, Jr. of Salt Rock, WV, would drive the Grover Motorsports owned Rocket Chassis mount to the win over 2005 series co-champion Mike Jewell, with Brad Neat, Whitney McQueary, and Anthony Adams completing the top five.

-The 2006 edition of the event was called the Ponderosa 50/4^th Annual John Bradshaw Memorial and was sanctioned by the O’Reilly NARA Battle of the Bluegrass DirtCar Series. The race was the highest paying to win event for Late Models that has been contested at “The Pond” in over four and one-half years and when the dust settled, Greg Johnson of Bedford, IN walked away with $5,000 for his efforts by winning the event over Eddie Carrier, Jr., Chris Combs, Brad Neat, and Scott James in an event that will always be remembered for the infamous Aaron Hatton/Earl Pearson, Jr. “parking” accident in turn one.

-With the addition of the new clay surface at what was now being called “Kentucky’s Baddest Bullring”, only one word could describe the action in the ’07 Bradshaw Memorial event-Insane! Mike Marlar of Winfield, TN would get his first win (and $5,000) in this event after charging from the rear of the field with a flat tire on lap 10. Marlar would take the lead on lap 40 when race leader Aaron Hatton had mechanical issues as the pair battled door to door for the top spot. Scott James would outgun Victor Lee for second, with Campbellsville natives Tim Tungate and Jason Keltner garnering fourth and fifth positions.

-The 2008 John Bradshaw Memorial event would be co-sanctioned by the O’Reilly Battle of the Bluegrass DirtCar Series and Independent Racing Series and Rob Blair of Titusville, PA would make an 11 hour tow pay off in his first ever visit to “The Pond” by claiming the $5,000 payday over Victor Lee, Don O’Neal, Michael England, and Dustin Linville, with an event record 34 entries on hand.

-For 2009, the John Bradshaw Memorial event was contested on a dry, smooth slick racing surface after three inches of rain in the early morning hours prior to the race and Victor Lee of Stanford, KY would win one of the few events he had not already won at least once in his career at Ponderosa Speedway by scoring the $5,000 first-time win in this event. Trailing Lee in an exciting finish were Eddie Carrier, Jr., Mike Marlar, David Webb, and Bobby Wolter, Jr.

Godsey would roll past Powell for fourth on lap 3, as race leader McWhorter would begin to work slower traffic two trips later. McWhorter would get into heavy traffic on lap 7, allowing Coffman to close in on the leader. McWhorter would get caught behind slower traffic on lap 8, allowing Coffman to challenge for the lead, but disaster would strike Coffman on lap 9 as he and a slower car would make contact exiting turn two, with the two cars getting hung together, with Coffman climbing up on the left front fender of the other machine until the pair rolled to a stop at the entrance to turn three, drawing the caution flag. McWhorter would bring the field back to the green flag, with Johnson, Godsey, Powell, and Jeremy Hines giving chase. Hines would grab fourth from Powell on lap 10, with Jeff Rawlings making his way past Powell for fifth one circuit later only to lose the spot back to Powell on lap 11. Meanwhile, young speedster Zak Blackwood would charge from his 15^th starting position to make his way into the top five past Powell for fifth on lap 16. Back at the point, McWhorter was setting a quick pace and pulling away from Johnson a bit as the leaders again began working back markers and lapping slower traffic. With McWhorter working traffic and keeping Johnson at bay by lap 21, Hines would repeatedly challenge Godsey for third. But lap 25 would mark the turning point in the race when Billy Wooldridge looped his machine in turn three and race leader McWhorter would tangle with the race leader and stop on the track as the incident would draw the caution flag. This turn of events would put Johnson on the point, but the restart would come back when a four car tangle on the backchute involving Edgar Godsey, Rawlings, Josh Hampton, and Clarence Belcher would put the action under caution again. The next restart would also not see a full lap completed as 8^th place running John Mulligan would spin his unit in turn four to draw the final caution of the race. The final restart would see Johnson drive his ride to perfection and see the checkered flag first to score the victory in the David Burchfield owned B&E Builders/Mid-State Construction/The Muffler Shop/ Speed Queen Laundry/Xtreme Style Signs and Graphics sponsored #11 C.J. Rayburn Race Car, GM604 powered machine. Ninth place starter Hines and Godsey would finish second and third respectively, while Coffman would work his way back to fourth and restarting at the rear of the field on lap 9, with Gary Yeager starting 14^th and rounding out the top five. The remainder of the top ten would be Blackwood, Powell, Alan Magner, Kevin Colston, and Greg Kendall. McWhorter would be top qualifier among 24 entries at 14.117 seconds and also win his heat, while Coffman and Johnson would claim the other heat victories.

J.T. Ayers would dominate the action in the 20 lap Clayton Homes UMP Modified main event to claim his second feature victory of the season at Ponderosa Speedway. Ayers would drive the Don Ayers owned After Hours Body Shop/Hagan Construction/Quick Time Turbo Systems/Buzick Construction/Ayers Auto Service/M and M Get-n-Go/ Parkway Service Center sponsored #28 Bandit Race Car, Dale Meers Race Engines powered mount to the win. Randy Turpin and Tom Curtsinger would display a great battle in the middle stages of the race for the runner-up spot, with the position finally going to Turpin, with Curtsinger taking third. Mikah Reams and Ed Cundiff would complete the top five. Ayers would make a clean sweep to the evening by also being top qualifier at 14.967 seconds and also win the heat.

The 15 lap D&D Pallet Recyclers UMP Sportsman main event would go to Gerald Haynes, Jr. in dominant fashion, with Haynes, Jr. driving to the win in his Troy’s Roofing/Cornett Race Engines sponsored #27 Chevy Chevelle mount.

Rattliff, Coffman, and Wheatley Winners at Ponderosa Speedway

Junction City, KY-May 28, 2010- Exciting racing action kicked off the 2010 Memorial Day Holiday Weekend at Ponderosa Speedway and Justin Rattliff of Campbellsville, KY would score his second win of the season at “Kentucky’s Baddest Bullring” by claiming the Good Neighbor Pharmacy Super Late Model feature event. Todd Coffman of Junction City, KY picked up his third Bob Allen Motor Mall Pro Late Model feature win of the season and Jason Wheatley of Loretto, KY won his first Clayton Homes UMP Modified feature race of 2010.

The Good Neighbor Pharmacy Super Late Model main event would get off to a rocky start as the field attempted to complete the first lap when Tim Tungate would get turned around in turn three and Bobby Wolter, Jr. would roll his mount to a halt as well, with both drivers able to continue. Racing would get underway and Justin Rattliff would grab the race lead, followed by Dustin Neat, David Webb, D.J. Wells, and Jeff Watson. Watson would take fourth from Wells on lap 2 as Rattliff and Neat would begin to battle for the race lead. By lap 6, Rattliff and Neat would put a little distance between themselves and third place running Webb, as Dustin Linville would challenge Wells for fifth. By lap 10, Rattliff and Neat began working slower traffic, with the pair coming together on the frontchute and Rattliff slipping a little in turn two, allowing Neat to fire a slider for the lead in turn four on lap 11. Caution would fly again on lap 16 when Arnie Fields got crossed up in turn two as race leader Neat was set to lap him, with Neat making contact with the spinning Fields, damaging the left front corner of Neat’s mount. The restart would see Rattliff fire under Neat for the lead and Rattliff would regain the top spot off of turn four. Webb would close in on Neat for second and grab the runner-up slot on lap 19 as the final caution of the race flew on lap 21 when Dustin Linville spun exiting turn four and would be pushed pitside for the night. The final few circuits would see Webb attempt to challenge Rattliff for the lead, but Rattliff would race to the checkered flag first in his JRR Auto Sales/ MGL Auto Sales/On-Time Courier/Grant Lee Farms/Cox Wrecker Service/Budda Bert Transmission Sales and Service/Peterson Fluid Systems sponsored #16 Bloomquist Race Car. Webb, Neat, Watson, and Wells would complete the top five, while Wolter, Jr., Fields, Michael Chilton, Daniel Hatcher, and Wesley Brummett would round out the top ten. Rattliff would be the top qualifier among 14 entries at 13.803 seconds and would also win the dash, while Tungate won the heat.

The Bob Allen Motor Mall Pro Late Model feature would go caution free and feature some three-wide action throughout the field, but the man to beat would again be Todd Coffman as Coffman led all 20 laps on the main event and held off a hard-charging Jeremy Hines to score the victory in the seat of his King Clean/Coffman Photography/ Cook’s Collectibles/Two Brothers Café/A Breath of Fresh Air/Harrod Farms/Bottom Line Tax and Bookkeeping/Hurst Racing/Central Kentucky Log Cabins sponsored #35 C.J. Rayburn Race Car, GM604 powered machine. Hines would settle for runner-up honors, while Chase McWhorter would finish a close third, with Jeff Johnson and Zane Powell rounding out the top five. The remainder of the top ten would be Gary Yeager, John Mulligan, Clarence Belcher, Tim Taylor, and Billy Wooldridge. McWhorter would be the top qualifier among 13 entries at 14.038 seconds, while Coffman also won the dash and Mulligan won the heat.

The 20 lap Clayton Homes UMP Modified feature race would also be caution free as Jason Wheatley would be challenged early on by Bryan Barber, with Barber making one last run on the final lap at Wheatley for the win, but Wheatley would nip Barber by a car length to take the victory in the Kaylee and Tommy Wheatley owned St. Joe Garage/ VFM Manufacturing/Mark Martin Chevrolet/Wheatley Tile Flooring/Wheatley Seamless Gutters/Wheatley Auto Sales/Gootee and Mattingly Heating and Cooling/Cozy Corner/ Brady Excavating/Central Kentucky Electrical and Plumbing/Brian Wheatley Landscaping/Springfield Auto and Farm/Nukem Graphics/Rosewood Golf Course sponsored #7 Larry Shaw Race Car by Landers, Mullins Race Engines powered mount.

Todd Coffman Takes Indiana Late Model Series Win at Ponderosa Speedway

Junction City, KY-May 14, 2010- The Indiana Late Model Series made its first ever visit to Ponderosa Speedway on Friday evening and local racer Todd Coffman of Junction City, KY would pick up the $1,000 payday in the first ever ILMS event at the 3/8 mile D-shaped clay oval. Other feature event winners for the evening included Dustin Neat of Dunnville, KY in Good Neighbor Pharmacy Super Late Models, J.T. Ayers of New Haven, KY in Clayton Homes UMP Modifieds, and Wayne Hager of Nicholasville, KY in D&D Pallet Recyclers UMP Sportsman.

Chase McWhorter would lead the opening lap of the 30 lap Indiana Late Model Series A-Main, but P.J. Feistritzer would win a three-wide battle with McWhorter and Todd Coffman on lap 2 to take the top spot. The trio would continue to battle three-wide on lap 3, with Coffman taking the race lead. Jeremy Hines would claim the third position from Feistritzer on lap 5 as Coffman would begin to work slower traffic in the 23 car starting field by lap 7. Caution would wave on lap 8 as Tyler Allen and Zane Powell would make contact in turn two, with Powell done for the night. The restart would see Hines take second from McWhorter, with Zac Blackwood now in fourth, followed by Steve Godsey in fifth. The front five would remain the same until lap 16 when Blackwood would drive past Feistritzer for the third position. The caution would fly again on lap 17 when John Mulligan would spin his mount in turn four. The restart would see Coffman maintain the lead spot, while Feistritzer motored back around Blackwood for the third spot on lap 18 and would challenge Hines for second. Blackwood would then rejoin the mix, but caution would slow the action again on lap 20 as Jay Mobley would slow on the frontchute and pull pitside. Back underway, Blackwood would scoot to the runner-up spot past Hines and Feistritzer and attempt to pressure Coffman for the lead. McWhorter would motor back to fourth on lap 23, bringing Godsey along with him in fifth. The top five would remain the same the remainder of the way, with Coffman capturing the victory in his King Clean/Coffman Photography/Cook’s Collectibles/Two Brothers Café/A Breath of Fresh Air/Harrod Farms/Bottom Line Tax Service/Hurst Racing/Wilson Dozing/Central Kentucky Log Cabins sponsored #35 C.J.

Johnson would win the B-Main, while Lindsay Wade would earn the series provisional starting berth.

The Good Neighbor Pharmacy Super Late Model main event would see Dustin Neat jump to the race lead, followed by David Webb, Jeff Watson, Michael Chilton, and D.J. Wells. Wells would jump to third on lap 3, while Neat began to pull away a bit from Webb. The front five would remain the same until lap 8 when Aaron Ridley would challenge Chilton for fifth position and take the position on that lap. The field would begin to get strung out by the halfway point and Neat would work slower traffic, but Webb would begin to slowly reel in Neat for the point and a caution on lap 20 would close the field back up when third place running Wells would break a right rear axle, causing the right rear tire and wheel assembly to come off the Wells machine. The restart would also come back as C.J. Rayburn would loop his mount in turn one. The final restart would see Webb get a run on Neat off of turn two and Webb would fire a slidejob pass on Neat for the lead as the field got the five lap to go signal. Neat would return serve with a slider of his own in turn two on lap 21 to regain the race lead and would never be headed the rest of the way to score his second Super Late Model win of the season at Ponderosa aboard his Red Buck Cigars/Neat’s Service Center/D&R Livestock sponsored #25 MasterSbilt Race Car, Estes Race Engines powered entry. Webb would take second, with Watson claiming third, while Ridley and Chilton would round out the top five. In preliminary action, Neat would be the top qualifier among 11 entries at 13.613 seconds and would also win the dash, while Wells won the heat.

The Clayton Homes UMP Modified feature event would see Michael England lead the first two laps until J.T. Ayers would make a slidejob of England for the lead in turn four on lap 3 for the lead. Ayers and England would pull away from the rest of the field and would battle throughout the 20 lap affair before Ayers would pull away a bit over the final five laps to pick up the win in the Don Ayers owned After Hours Body Shop/Hagan Construction/Quick Time Turbo Systems/Buzick Construction/Ayers Auto Service/M&M Get-N-Go/Parkway Service Center sponsored #28 Bandit Race Car, Dale Meers Race Engines powered mount. England would take runner-up honors in his first race of the season, with Jacoby Hines, Kevin Nesselhauf, and Randy Turpin completing the top five.

Hugh “Junebug” Rowland Memorial Fast Facts and Tidbits

-This event first appeared on the Ponderosa Speedway racing schedule back in 1999 under then track promoter James King as a tribute to the late Mr. Rowland, who sold racing parts and was very instrumental in several drivers racing careers around the Central Kentucky area.

-The inaugural “Junebug” Memorial was contested in 1999 and saw “The Real Deal” Don O’Neal of Martinsville, IN win the event.

-In 2000, Jay Mobley of Harrodsburg, KY scored what was the biggest Late Model win of his career at the time when he drove the Yantz Motorsports Rayburn chassis entry to the “Junebug” Memorial win. Mobley held off Bobby Carrier, Jr. in the late stages of the race for the win, with that duo followed by Jeff Coulter, Timmy Yeager, and Brad Neat at the drop of the checkered flag.

-Dustin Neat of Dunnville, KY would scored the biggest win of his career when he hit paydirt in the 2001 “Junebug” Memorial race behind the wheel of the Greg Neat owned entry. Greg Neat is the father of the former Casey County Rebels basketball and baseball high school standout.

-The event was not held in 2002 as promoter James King would close the gates of the Ponderosa Speedway about midway through that 2002 race season.

-The “Junebug” Memorial would return to the Ponderosa Speedway schedule in late 2003 after Jerry Denson took the promotional reigns at “The Pond” after the untimely death of then promoter John Bradshaw. Second-generation driver Mike Marlar of Winfield, TN was the winner of the 2003 race by driving to the checkered flag first ahead of Scott James, Mike Jewell, Darrell Lanigan, and Jesse Lay.

-The 2004 race was scheduled to be sanctioned by the O’Reilly NARA Battle of the Bluegrass DirtCar Series event, but the sanction was pulled from the race after track officials informed series officials that they may not be able to pay the full purse for the race. The event was ran as a $1,500 to win non-sanctioned race and saw Mike Marlar of Winfield, TN follow-up his 2003 win by claiming his second straight “Junebug” win over Johnny Wheeler, Shannon Thornsberry, Bobby Carrier, Jr., and Anthony Ferguson.

-Bryan Barber of Buffalo, KY would claim the biggest win of his career by claiming the O’Reilly NARA Battle of the Bluegrass DirtCar Series sanctioned 6^th Annual “Junebug” Memorial race. The third-generation racer would hold off Steve Hillard for the win, as a large last lap crash in turn four coming to the checkered flag would shuffle the final running order drastically, with third through fifth being credited to Mike Marlar, Eddie Carrier, Jr., and Wayne Chinn.

-Joey Daniel would pick up his first-ever O’Reilly NARA Battle of the Bluegrass DirtCar Series victory by winning the 2006 “Junebug” event over Chris Combs, Justin Rattliff, Aaron Hatton, and Tim Tungate. The race was a special Saturday night event that was the track’s first Saturday night special event in over five and one-half years.

-Brad Neat of Dunnville, KY would take his first “BoB Late Model” victory of 2007 and become the seventh different winner of the “Junebug” as the likable Casey County native was enjoying an off evening from action with the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series to pick up the win at the track where he first competed at back in the mid 90’s in the Pure Street and Bomber divisions. Neat’s win would come over the likes of Mike Marlar, Victor Lee, David Webb, and Jason Keltner. Brad and brother Dustin are now both winners of this race, as older sibling Dustin won the event back in 2001.

-Victor Lee of Stanford, KY would become the 6^th different winner of the “Junebug” and become the first driver to win three straight Battle of the Bluegrass DirtCar Series events in the history of the series. Lee would win the 2008 edition of the “Junebug” event over Tyrel Todd, ’03 and ’04 race winner Mike Marlar, Jeff Watson, and defending “Junebug” champion Brad Neat.

-In 2009, it would be again be the “Lincoln Leadfoot” Victor Lee of Stanford, KY winning his second straight “Junebug” event after holding off the charges of Justin Rattliff and Brad Neat after a late race caution with nine laps remaining. Rattliff would finish second, with Brad Neat third, while Eric Wells and Dustin Neat would complete the top five.

-The 2010 edition of the “Junebug” race will carry the sanctioning of the National All Star Racing Association. This is the tour that allow those Late Models with the CT525 aluminum crate engines to compete with the open competition engines with a weight break and larger spoiler.

The 25 lap Good Neighbor Pharmacy Super Late Model main event would see polesitter David Webb jump to the early lead, with Mike Marlar, Victor Lee, Dustin Linville, and Michael Chilton giving chase. Chilton would take fourth from Linville on lap 2, while Marlar would pressure Webb for the top spot. By lap 6, Webb would pull away a bit from Marlar, who was starting to get pressure from Lee for second. Fourth place Chilton would pull to the infield on lap 8, while Lee turned the pressure up on Marlar for the runner-up spot. Webb’s pace at the point would be slowed by a caution for debris on lap 11 and on the restart, Lee would drive around Marlar off the top side of turn two, while D.J. Wells would take fourth from Linville one circuit later. The final ten laps would see Webb slowly pull away from the battle for second between Lee and Marlar, but the battle for second would close on Webb in the final two laps as the leader attempted to work his way through lapped traffic. But it would be Webb’s night as he would see the checkered flag first in his ORS Auto Body and Collision/Marine Works/Valvoline/Eagle One/JDB Contracting/Saylers Auto Salvage/Killer Chassis sponsored #13w C.J. Rayburn Race Car, Pro Power Race Engines powered machine. The remainder of the top five would be Lee, Marlar, Wells, and Linville, with the rest of the finishing order being Aaron Ridley, Caleb Ashby, Christian Rayburn, Wesley Brummett, and Chilton. Webb was also top qualifier among 10 entries at 14.198 seconds and also won his heat, while Marlar won the other heat.

The 20 lap Bob Allen Motor Mall Pro Late Model feature would see Todd Coffman take the lead, followed by Jeremy Hines, Chase McWhorter, Kevin Colston, and Gary Yeager. Yeager would go to fourth on lap 2 as a caution would slow the action. Back underway, Coffman would again pull away, with Hines giving chase. At the halfway mark, Hines would reel Coffman in and the pair would begin to battle for the lead until Tim Taylor brought the caution out on lap 13. The final few circuits would see Coffman and Hines go wheel-to-wheel in a battle for the lead, with the pair in a dead heat at the line as the white flag was displayed. The duo would go side-by-side on the final lap, with Coffman able to nose ahead of Hines at the drop of the checkered flag to take the win in his King Clean/Coffman Photography/Cook’s Collectibles/Two Brothers Café/A Breath of Fresh Air/Harrod Farms/Bottom Line Tax Service/Hurst Racing/Central Kentucky Log Cabins sponsored #35 C.J. Rayburn Race Car, GM604 Performance Crate powered unit. Hines would finish second, followed by McWhorter, Yeager, and Kevin Hardin. Completing the top ten were Zane Powell, Kevin Colston, Clarence Belcher, Billy Wooldridge and Tim Taylor. Coffman was top qualifier among 12 entries at 14.245 seconds and also won the dash, while Tim Taylor won the heat.

The 20 lap Clayton Homes UMP Modified main event would be a dandy as Kelly Warren would grab the initial lead, followed by J.T. Ayers, Russ Gabbert, Jason Wheatley, and Elliott Despain. The only caution of the race flew on lap 3 as Josh Lucas rolled to a stop in turn two, but would continue three more laps after the restart. The restart would see business pick up as Ayers challenged Warren for the lead, with Ayers firing a slidejob pass on Warren for the lead in turn four on lap 4, only to see Warren return the favor with a slider of his own to retake the lead in turn two on lap 5. With the lead duo settling into an entertaining battle for the lead, Despain would snag fourth from Wheatley on lap 9, with Tommy Gregory working past Wheatley for fifth on lap 11. By lap 15, Warren had extended his lead a bit on Ayers, who was getting pressure from Gabbert for second. As the white flag was displayed, Gabbert would get by Ayers for second exiting turn four, but would not catch Warren as he would put his Kelly Warren and Jeff Crawford owned T&B Drilling/Maximum Energy/J&K Auto/Spoon Oil Well Service/Burton Services/GBS Well Service/West Kentucky Well Service/Gilco Well Service/Warren Dictation sponsored #0 Bandit Race Car, Dale Meers Race Engines powered mount in victory lane. Gabbert, Ayers, and Despain would go second through fourth, while Wheatley sneaked back around Gregory for fifth. Gregory would head up the second five, followed by Benji Lee, Randy Turpin, Kevin Nesselhauf, and Keith Denney. Ayers was top qualifier among 13 entries at 15.117 seconds and also won the dash, while Despain won the heat.

The 15 lap D&D Pallet Recyclers UMP Sportsman main event would see Wayne Hager take the race lead at the drop of the green flag, with Bartley Grant, Rick King, Donnie Sullivan, and Logan Preston in pursuit. Hagar and Grant would immediately go to battle for the race lead, with Grant winning the battle and making what would be the winning pass on lap 4. Sullivan would get by King for third and set his sights on Hager, but Hager would pull to the infield on lap 9, done for the night. Grant would go unchallenged the rest of the way as the two-time and defending division track champion would grab the win in the Mistie and Tori Grant owned Double J Automotive Machine Shop/Climax Horse Camp/Copper Creek Welding sponsored #1 Buick Regal. Sullivan would take runner-up honors, while King held off the challenges of Preston for fourth, with Eddie Stewart completing the top five.
