In the heat race action it was Dave Baldwin, Elliot Despain, Joey Kramer, and Michael England taking victories while Jerry Lawson and Dave Jamison took the B Main checkers. In the feature event it was Joey Kramer out front at the green flag with Michael England in pursuit. The man on the move was 10th starting Bryan Barber who was up to second by lap 6.

Mt Orab Ford Modified Special Event @ Moler Raceway Park!!

9-9-11 - Williamsburg, OH -- With the Mt Orab Ford Modifieds going for $1,000 to win in the feature event it was their night to shine but Mother Nature would have other thoughts as rain and cold temperatures throughout the week resulted in a track that would be very fast but heavy and rough. Despite the hard work of the track crew throughout the event to try and keep the track in shape there was no way to avoid the roughness and that became the talk of the night. In the modified preliminary events it was Devin Gilpin, Randy Wash and Doug Adkins taking the wins while Jim O’Toole would claim his first Moler victory in the B-main event. In the feature it was Adkins out front on lap #1 but Randy Wash would drive by on lap two and lead until breaking  during a caution on lap 16. On the restart Devin Gilpin was up front but Maysville, Ky’s Jimmy Lennox Jr. would fly by on the outside to take the lead on lap l8 and set his sights on the checker flag. Lennox would not be denied as he continued on to claim his first ever feature victory and the $1,000 in his Bowtie Tire Co, CYRP Racing Engine, H&S Excavating and Paving, BadFast Chassis. Greensburg, Indiana’s Kyle Herbert would come home second followed by Shaun Scott, Derrick Davis, and  Dave McWilliams.

In the Sunesis Construction Late Models there were 13 cars on hand and Chad Stapleton and Tom Sheets would start the night by taking heat race wins. In the feature event it was Sheets out front with both Stapleton and Doss in close pursuit. By lap 7 Doss would work his way to the lead and set sail in pursuit of his first victory of the season. Following a  restart on lap 17 Stapleton would get next to Doss for the top position but there was no denying Barry Doss’ first win of the year in his D&G Trucking, Mt Orab Ford, Howsers Discount, Doss Constuction sponsored machine. Stapeton would come home second followed by Jason Jameson who started on the tail after switching to the Chad Oberson's driven machine (after blowing his engine. Sheets would come home in fourth and Brian Gray  in fifth.

In the Big Red Book Street Stocks it was Bruce Gray Jr leading all fifteen laps in his Rent 2 Own, Adams Chassis, CJ Taxi, Outlaw Race Products, Douglass Industries sponsored machine. It was Gray’s first feature win at Moler despite numerous close runs. Bretz would run second with Paul Baker, Jim Helterbran, and Todd Anstaett completing the top five positions. Bretz and Gray were heat race winners.

The Holman Motors Chevettes would round out the evening and it was a familiar ending as Derrick Davis would claim his third win in the last four weeks in his Holman Motors #12 machine. Miles Tarvin would claim second spot over Josh Francis, Rusty Yarger and Sean Jones. In heat race action it was Tarvin and Davis claiming the wins and setting the fifteen lap feature lineup.  American Modified Series returns to Moler on September 16th for a $1500 to Win Modified Show. www.molerracewaypark.com  Moler Raceway Park would like to thank everyone for their support during these last five years and especially throughout this lawsuit.  The Court of Appeals ruled in favor of us and overruled the Judge's restrictions earlier last week. 

Another Exciting Night of Racing at MRP!!

9-2-11 - Williamsburg, OH - While the heat returned to the thermometer the racing action continued to be hot on the track. With the Holman Motors Special Event on tap there was 30 laps and $1,000 on the line. With 22 cars on hand the events would get started with 3 heat races and Ronnie Choate Jr of Cookeville, Tenn, Miles Tarvin of Georgetown and Rusty Yarger from Hillsboro taking the wins and setting the stage for the big event. In the feature event it was Yarger out front with Choate all over his rear bumper. A couple of cautions within the first five laps slowed the action but on lap six it was Derick Davis out front with Choate still in pursuit. By lap 22 it was Miles Tarvin up to second but he would have nothing for Derick Davis as he would take his Holman Motors GMC machine back to victory lane for the second time in 3 weeks this time with the Hillbilly Nationals Trophy and $1,000 check .  Tarvin would come home second followed by Jeff Watson, Choate Jr, and Sean Jones in the top five positions.

In the Sunesis Construction Late Models there were 19 cars on hand with Chad Stapleton and Bub McCool taking the heat race wins in the matching #32 RiteWay Construction, Skeletor Core, Roger’s Bar sponsored orange and black machines. In the feature it was McCool out front on the first start attempt but contact between Dillan White and Barry Doss would bring out a caution and cause a restart. On the restart it was Stapleton out front with McCool in pursuit. The top three cars of Stapleton, McCool, and Jason Jameson would put on a furious battle out front as they sliced and diced through traffic and amongst themselves. At the end it was Stapleton taking the win with McCool sliding by Jameson off of turn four on the final lap to take second position. Barry Doss would recover for a fourth place finish while John Whitney Jr  came home in fifth spot.

In the Mt Orab Ford Modifieds there were 35 cars on hand trying to make the 20 car starting lineup for the feature event. To set the field there were 4 ten lap heat races with Dave Jamison, Randy Wash, Derick Davis, and Kelly Craddoch taking the victories.  Some interesting action in the heat races as in heat race number one rookie driver Taylor Lunsford would spin in turn two and roll over on his top (yet would return for the B-main event) while in heat race number four Weasel Rhoades, Matt Colston, and Travis Fleshman would all miss the corner in turn three and drive into the wall. In the 2 B-main events it was Jerry Lawson and Kevin Doyle taking the checkers to set the stage for the feature event. In the feature event it was the “Racing Farmer”, Randy Wash out front in his Feesburg Fertilizer, Seips Auto Parts, Wash Farms, Fast Shocks machine and while the record books will show he led all 20 laps it wasn’t easy as Doug Adkins was on his tail from lap 6 all the way to the finish. Wash would take the checkers for the first time this season while Adkins was right on his bumper to claim second with Craddoch, Jameson, and Davis rounding out the top five finishers.

The night would be rounded out by the Big Red Book Street Stocks as 15 cars were on hand vying for the top spot. In heat race action it was Brandon Reed and Bub Balsley taking the wins and starting the feature event from row #1. At the drop of the green there was no doubt that Balsley was the man to beat as he rocketed out front in his Detmer Race Engines machine. Throughout the race Jeremie Bretz ran second and tried to take the top spot to no avail as Balsley was able to lead all fifteen laps and claim yet another victory at MRP this season. Bretz would come home second followed by Jamey Adams, Reed, and Bruce Gray Jr.  September 9th Modifieds $1000 to Win plus all regular classes, makeup street stock race and mechanics races.   www.molerracewaypark.com

Fan Appreciation Night @ MRP a Rousing Success!!

8-26-11 - Williamsburg, OH - On Fan Appreciation night at MRP there were many things going on for all in attendance but that would all be trumped by the great racing on the track. In the Big Red Book Street Stocks what the field lacked in quantity it made up in great competitive racing as Jeremie Bretz jumped out to the early lead while Bub Balsley, Bill Crabtree Jr, Jamey Adams, and Jeremy Scott put on a fantastic race just behind him. By lap seven Adams had worked his way from his 6th starting spot to the lead as he passed Bretz and would go on to take yet another feature win in his Thomas Gas, Helterbran Trucking, Precision Grinding Machine. Bretz would hold on for second position with Bruce Gray Jr coming back from an earlier spin to take third while Crabtree and Scott would round out the top five positions. Crabtree and Bretz claimed heat race wins.

In the Sunesis Construction Late Models there was a lot of excitement coming into the race as thedrc.net had added some additional money to go towards the feature winner as well as additional prizes to be given to the feature winner including a brand new front nose assembly courtesy of XD-4. At the start of the feature it was Roger Ruark and Weasel Rhodes on the front row and while Rhodes got the jump he also suffered a flat tire that would force him to go pitside for a change and restart from the tail of the field. On the following restart it was Ruark out front with Barry Doss right on his bumper while 8th starting Chad Stapleton used the high side to jump to 3rd by lap two. Those three cars would run bumper to bumper while setting a torrid pace. Ruark was able to maintain the lead but things got interesting on the final lap as Doss suddenly slowed going down the backstretch and coming off of turn four Stapleton got turned around all while Flemingsburg, Kentucky’s Roger Ruark would claim his first victory at Moler Raceway Park. “Hollywood” Brian Gray would come home second with Barry Doss limping home in third with Weasel Rhodes in fourth and Jeff Arnold in fifth spot. Ruark and Rhodes were victorious in preliminary races.

Another fine field of Mt. Orab Ford Modifieds were on hand and an additional $200 was on the line for the winner courtesy of Fast Shocks. In heat race action it was Hamersville, Ohio’s Randy Wash, Weasel Rhodes, and Jimmy Lennex Jr claiming heat victories while Doug Adkins would claim the B-Main event. In the feature it was some great racing as Weasel Rhodes in his Stricker Auto Parts, Cropper Race Engine, Lightning Chassis taking the victory as he would be best in the field of cars for the entire 20 lap feature event. Dave McWilliams would challenge Weasel on lap 12 restart but to no avail as he would have to settle for second just ahead of a hard charging (16th starting spot) Doug Adkins. Jeremie Bretz would come home in fourth spot with Danny Dehner taking the fifth spot.

Another fine field of 19 Holman Motor Chevettes would round out the evenings activities and it was Miles Tarvin of Georgetown, Ohio claiming his seventh feature win of the season in his Brown County Pork Producers, Carrington Farm Supply, Lykins Oil sponsored machine. It would not be an easy feature event as Jeff Watson would take the lead at the start but Tarvin would drive by on the outside on lap two to take the top spot but Derrick Davis was on the move and pressured Tarvin throughout the event. Davis made a final attempt as the two leaders entered lap traffic but Tarvin was able to clear the traffic ahead of Davis and take the win. Davis would come home second with Watson, Josh Francis, and Sean Jones rounding out the top five positions. Watson and Tarvin both claimed heat race wins.  Holman Motors also added $200 to the Chevette Feature Purse.

8-19-11 - Williamsburg, OH - In the 5th Annual Victor "Ike" Moler event at Moler Raceway Park it was the Verona Vandal Jerry Rice taking the $5,000 and the 8 foot tall Southern Trophy in his Brooks Electric, Valvoline Oil sponsored Warrior Race Car.

The night started with qualification and it was the “Rattler” Justin Ratliff taking the quick time honors with a 12.577 lap. In heat race action it was Chad Stapleton, Ratliff, and Scott James taking the wins while Tim Prince claimed the B-main event.

In the feature it was Stapleton and James leading the field to the green flag with Stapleton leading the first 3 laps but James would quickly take over the top spot. James was definitely the car to beat out front but around lap 25 the left rear of the car began showing signs of a problem as the car entered the corners.

 On lap 30 the left rear wheel would break off the car while going through turn three ending the night for the “Silver Shark”. On the restart it was Stapleton out front with Jerry Rice and Justin Ratliff in pursuit. Five laps later it was more trouble for the leader as Stapleton would spin out off of turn four.

On the restart it was Rice out front with Eddie Carrier Jr and Jason Jameson in pursuit. At the checkers it was Jerry Rice claiming his first ever win at Moler Raceway Park. Carrier would come home second with Jameson, Rod Conley (from 11th starting spot), and David Webb in fifth (from 15th starting spot).

In the Mt Orab Ford Modified division Randy Wash, Weasel Rhodes, and Dave McWilliams would start the night as winners in the heat race action and set the lineup for the feature.

In the feature event it McWilliams jumping to the lead at the start but the drivers in the modified division had a tough time with the fast and tacky track as they kept spinning out and bringing out the caution. With 5 cautions sprinkled in the first ten laps of the feature it was turning into a marathon event. While McWilliams led it was Randy Wash in second but he would have trouble and go pitside at the halfway mark. The battle was between Devin Gilpin, Weasel Rhodes, Matt Hamilton, and Doug Adkins all battling for the second position.

At the end of the race it was McWilliams in victory lane in his Time Auto Sale machine while Hamilton would claim second spot with Adkins, Rhodes and Mike Marischen rounding out the top five.

In the Holman Motors Chevettes it was Derrick Davis claiming his first ever Chevette division win at Moler as he passed both Rusty Yarger and Miles Tarvin in the middle of the race to take the win in his Holman GMC sponsored machine. Tarvin would come home second while Yarger third with Les Romano and Scott Ramp would round out the top five positions.  Tarvin and Yarger would claim the preliminary heat race victories. August 26th is Fan Appreciation Night at MRP with Autograph Session on track $10 Adults Kids 0-15 Free!!

Big Red Book Summer Nationals at Moler Raceway Park!!


7-29-11 Williamsburg, OH -It was another hot and humid southern Ohio summer night Friday at Moler Raceway Park for the Big Red Book Summer Nationals. The Sunesis Construction Late Models were the featured class paying  $2,500 to win and the increased purse attracted some tough competitors from around the region. The evening would begin with 1 lap of qualifying and it was Crosslanes West Virginia’s Zack Dohm setting fast time with a lap of 12.858 to secure the pole in heat 1. Following Invocation, Bethany Moler on her 12th birthday, drove a Chevette around for the parade laps with the American Flag during the National Anthem as the crowd cheered her on.

 In the 1st heat race Zack Dohm was charged with the caution after getting together with Steve Casebolt in turn 4 sending Casebolt to the win. In heat 2 it was “The Rattler” Jason Ratliff of Campblesville KY taking the win with track points leader Chad Stapleton securing heat 3 to set the lineup for the feature. Casebolt would jump to the lead early with Ratliff, Stapleton and “Insane” Duane Chamberlain in hot pursuit. The 4 of them would go 3 and sometimes 4 wide as they battled furiously for the top 4 spots with Casebolt leading the first half of the race. After Ratliff left for the pits running 2nd at the halfway point it would set up Chamberlain to take on Casebolt for the lead. After 2 laps in second he would make the pass and set sail for the win in his Sheltra Motorsports number 23. Casebolt would hang onto 2nd with Greg Johnson coming home 3rd followed by Stapleton and Barry Doss to round out the top 5.

It was another fine field of Mt. Orab Ford UMP Modifieds on hand with 26 cars making the call. It would be the familiar faces of Weasel Rhodes, Matt Hamilton, and Doug Adkins, all multiple feature winners at MRP, taking the checkers in the preliminary races. In the feature it was all Hamilton though as he jumped to a large lead from the pole early and would lead all 20 laps to take his 2nd straight victory at MRP. Rhodes would come home 2nd with Adkins taking 3rd to maintain the season points lead. Dave Baldwin and Randy Wash rounded out the top 5.

The Holman Motors Chevettes would bring some heat on this night as well with another hotly contested A-Main. Rusty  Yarger would jump to the lead early but Derrick Davis would over take him after 2 laps for the lead. The man on the move was Miles Tarvin from his 6th starting position and was able to overtake Davis on lap 11 for the lead and despite heavy pressure would hang on for the win. Davis, Yarger, Branden Elam and Jeff Waton in the top 5. Yarger and Davis took heat race victories.

The Big Red Book Street Stock division has been a tight points battle all year between defending track champion Jeremie Bretz and Bub Balsley. Last week after Balsley took the win he moved into sole possession of 1st in the track points standings after being tied. Those two would battle it out once again on this night with Balsely leading every lap of the heat while Bretz worked his way through the field to secure 2nd. In the feature it was a different story as Bretz jumped to the lead from the outside and never looked back as he lead every lap to take another win but Balsley would maintain the points lead with a 2nd place finish. Shannon Enoch, Todd Anstaett and Paul Baker would finish out the top 5.  Friday August 5th will be Late Models, Modifieds, Street Stocks Chevettes and Mechanics races.

Mother Nature Brings The Heat at Moler Raceway Park!!

7-22-11 - Williamsburg, OH - On one of the hottest and muggiest days of the year the racing action was hot at Moler Raceway Park. With a special visit by the AMSA Mini-Sprints starting the night off it was Greenfield, Ohio’s Kevin Roberts Jr ending up in victory lane in his family owned and operated machine. Ryan Broughton started eighth and challenged Roberts but to no avail as he would lead all 20 laps enroute to his victory. Broughton would come home second followed by Rod Henning in third.

In the Sunesis Construction Late Models the night started with Chad Stapleton and Chris Streeval winning the heat races and setting the starting line-up for the A-main event. In the feature event it was Stapleton jumping out front and running the high side of the racetrack but Middletown, Ohio’s Lil' John Whitney would find a lane on the bottom of the racetrack in his Berry Motorsports, Masterbuilt chassis machine and take over the top spot from Stapleton and set sail towards his second feature win of the season in his Stephan Heating and Cooling, Amaze-A-Stitch Embroidery, Barker Fab & Machine sponsored car. Stapleton would come home second followed by Streeval, Allan Magner, and Barry Doss (who went to a back-up car early in the evening and started from the tail).

Another fine field of 27 Mt Orab Ford Modifieds were on hand meaning drivers were going to have to race their way into the feature event. In the preliminary races it was Dave McWilliams, Matt Hamilton, and Shane Mugavin taking the checkered flags while Spencer Watson would claim his first victory of the season in the B-main event. In the feature it was all Matt Hamilton as he had his Diamond Race car shining on this night as he would jump out to the lead at the beginning of the race and would never be challenged in his A1 Landscaping & Lawn Service, Gildays Auto, Schmoes Collision sponsored machine. Behind Hamilton at the checkers was McWilliams followed by Doug Adkins, Randy Wash, and Rick Curtin.

In the Big Red Book Street Stocks it was a smaller than normal field of cars but some great racing action as Bruce Gray Jr and Bub Balsley would race side-by-side for the lead for the first 2/3 of the race while Jeremie Bretz,Jeremie Scott, and Shannon Enoch raced side by side for the third position. With about five laps to go it was Balsley pulling away in his Detmer Racing Engines number 77 machine while Gray would have to battle to hold on to second position over Bretz, Scott, and Enoch.

In the Holman Motor Chevette Division it was Miles Tarvin with his new machine repaired and back at the track taking the win in the fifteen lap feature event in his Lykins Oil, Carrington Farm Supply, P&G Farms, Ron Storer Commercial  sponsored machine. Rusty Yarger would claim second position ahead of Jeff Watson, Josh Francis, and Sean Jones. Yarger and Tarvin would claim heat race wins.

Kids Night  A Success At MRP!!

7-15-11 Williamsburg, OH - The summer racing action resumed at Moler Raceway Park Friday night with the track's annual kids night. Kids 15 and under enjoyed free admission and kids and drivers alike enjoyed bicycle races on the track at intermission.

The Mt. Orab Ford UMP Modifieds would kick of the evening’s festivities with a strong field of 28 cars. One week after visiting MRP with the American Modified Series John DeMoss would make the trip from Bloomington Indiana to tangle with the MRP locals and would claim a win in heat 1. Those locals would take the next two wins of the evening with Manchester Ohio’s Shaun Scott and Dustin Webber of Goshen winning their heats while Jason Hollon captured the B-main victory to complete the feature lineup. At the green it was Shaun Scott jumping to the lead from the pole position but once again it was Weasel Rhodes charging to the front. On lap 7 he would overtake Scott for the lead but a caution quickly came out putting Scott back up front. Rhodes would not be deterred as he took the lead rback on the next lap. The second half of the race would see Aurora Indiana’s Matt Hamilton take over second and challenge Rhodes but it was not to be on this night as the Stricker Auto Parts number 68 machine would take it’s 3rd feature win at MRP this season. DeMoss, Webber, and Scott would round out the top 5.

The track was tacky and fast on this night and it would be two drivers who seem to be at their best in those conditions battling it out in heat one of the Sunesis Construction Late Models with Chad Stapleton pulling a beautiful slide job in turn 4 to take the lead over track points leader Wayne Chinn and continue on for the win. Lil' John Whitney would take the checkers in heat two to set the front row for the A-Main event. It was all Stapleton and Whitney as they battled side by side throughout the race. Early on it looked like Stapleton was on the way to an easy win using the high side to stretch out a nice lead but after a few laps it was evident Whitney was steadily gaining ground from 2nd. On lap 11 Whitney would overtake Stapleton in turn 3 and lead the next four laps before Stapleton was able to get back into his groove on the high side and retake the lead. Lil' John” would apply heavy pressure throughout but “Captain Chaos” Chad Stapleton would hang on to take his 2nd win of the season in his Right Way Construction sponsored machine, this time in a number 15 instead of his usual 32 car. Mike Meyers, Barry Doss, and Joel Ortberg would finish out the top 5.

It was another hotly contested night in the Holman Motors Chevette division with 22 machines on hand. It was Holman Motors’ own Kevin Riggs taking the checkers in heat 1 with defending track champ Jeff Watson taking heat 2. Rusty Yarger would bring home heat 3 to set the field for the feature event. Watson would jump out front to lead lap one but Yarger would grab the lead the next time around and hang on to take his 3rd win of the season. Watson was in hot pursuit but would get caught in a caution on lap 12 and exit the track. Derrick Davis would come home 2nd to claim his 6th top 5 finish of the season. Current points leader Miles Tarvin finished 3rd with Jim Hunt and Michael Bowling rounding out the top 5.

The Big Red Book Street Stocks would close out the nights racing and it was two familiar faces in the front row of the feature as Jeremy Scott and track champion Jeremie Bretz had claimed heat race wins. Bretz would exit the track on lap 1 however and Scott jumped out to a sizable lead. With Bretz’ early exit it was Hooven Ohio’s Bub Balsley who had the most to gain as he entered the night a close 2nd to Bretz in the track championship point standings and would jump to the 2nd running position for the remainder of the race. Two weeks ago Scott and Balsley got together coming for the checkers but there would be no fireworks this time as Scott cruised to his 1st win of the season in his H&S Excavating & Trucking, Maysville Ready Mix, Morgan Plumbing & Excavating number 88. Balsley would finish second and pull into a tie with Bretz for the track points lead. Paul Baker, Shannon Enoch, and Todd Anstaett would all take home the top 5 finishes.

American Modified Series Invades Moler Raceway Park!!

7-1-11 Williamsburg, OH - A strong field of 42 modifieds were on hand for the second ever visit of the American Modified Series. Starting with qualifications it was Greensburg, KY’s Bryan Barber taking the overall fast time and $100 bonus with a 13.966 lap. In the heat race action it was Michael England, Broc Burton, Bryan Barber, and Joey Kramer claiming heat race wins while Rick Curtin and Shawn Tolson claimed B-main checkers. In the feature event it was Bryan Barber out front at the drop of the green with England and Kramer chasing. Following a restart on lap 11 it was England out front but the man on the move was Matt Hamilton as he was battling Barber for second spot.  On lap 19 Hamilton would make contact with the outside wall and bring out a caution. On the restart it was once again England out front but many eyes were on Weasel Rhodes and John Demoss who had both charged their way into top six positions. Despite a couple of late restarts it was Michael England of Glasgow, Ky claiming his second career AMS victory while Weasel Rhodes would inch by Barber to claim second spot. Following Barber in the top five was Doug Adkins and Devin Gilpin. John Demoss (who started 21st) was the hard charger as he passed 15 cars in the feature event to take home sixth position while Joey Kramer ran 7th followed by Broc Burton, Jeff Bland and Pete Holt rounding out the top ten positions.

In the Sunesis Construction Late Models it was a two-for night as the June 10th make-up event started the evening’s program with Edinburgh, Indiana’s Chad Stapleton claiming his second career feature victory at MRP.  Chad would lead start to finish as he beat Barry Doss at the green flag and following some close racing between the two would pull away in the later stages of the race to claim the victory in his Rite-Way Construction, Skeletor Core, Tasty Shop, Rogers Bar sponsored machine. Doss would come home second followed by Jeff Alsip, Brian Gray, and Roger Ruark. In the nights regular program it was a different story as Jason Jamison (who was not entered in the make-up feature) would claim his second feature in a row by leading all 25 laps. Doss would come home second in that feature as well with Wayne Chinn barely beating a hard charging Robby Hensley for third position. Hensley (who started 12th) would come home fourth with Jeff Alsip in fifth spot. Jamison and Doss were both victorious in heat race action.

Controversy would cloud the Big Red Book Street Stock division as the top two cars tangled coming for the checkered flag resulting in Jeremy Bretz crossing the line first after coming off of turn four in third position. The battle up front was between Bub Balsley and Jeremy Scott but coming to the checkered flag they tangled allowing Bretz to take the win in his Pendleton Truck Sales, Blakes Tire & Automotive, Weeks Wrecker Service sponsored machine.. Shannon Enoch came home second followed by Paul Baker, Chad Barr, and Todd Anstaett. In heat race action it was Scott and Bretz claiming wins.

In the Holman Motor Chevette division it looked like Rusty Yarger was going to claim yet another win in his #22 machine as he steadily was stretching out his lead but with four laps remaining his car suddenly slowed and brought out a caution which allowed Jeff Watson to take over the top spot which he was able to hold onto and claim his second feature victory in a row in his Verdon Auto Service, Harmony Hair Salon, Rod to Wrenches, LT 1 Carburetors sponsored car. Watson was pressured by Paul Luers throughout the final four laps but to no avail as Luers would claim second followed by Miles Tarvin, Sean Jones, and Jim Hunt. Yarger and Watson would claim heat race victories.  At Intermission it was a Fantastic Fireworks show from Phantom Fireworks, Amelia, OH!!

Holman Motors  Night at MRP!!

6-24-11 - Williamsburg, OH - Racing at Moler Raceway Park was a full schedule but due to mother nature two weeks ago the schedule got even more packed. Typically the Firecracker 40 for the Chevette division is a big event but this year with the addition of two make-up features added to the schedule (modifieds and chevettes) it was turned into an even bigger night. Starting the night off was a 20 lap Mt Orab Ford Modified division feature from June 10 and it was Matt Hamilton and Randy Wash on the front row of the feature but at the drop of the green it was evident that last week’s feature winner Weasel Rhodes was the man to beat. Hamilton jumped to the top position but by lap five it was Rhodes taking over the top position. Hamilton made a couple of attempts to get back past but it would not be as Rhodes would lead all 15 remaining laps  to take his second feature win in a row in his Sticker Auto Parts, Lightning Chassis machine. Doug Adkins would get by Hamilton for second spot while Ray Branscum and Jimmy Lennex Jr would round out the top five positions.
   
In the featured division of the night it was the Holman Motor Chevettes in the Firecracker 40 event. With 27 cars on hand trying to take home a share of the top money the heat races were very important. Josh Francis, Miles Tarvin, and Kevin Riggs would claim the heat race victories while Jason Hoskins claimed the last chance qualifier. At the start of the 40 lap event it was Miles Tarvin jumping out to the top position and three and four-wide racing behind him.  He would stay there for the entire 40 lap feature to claim the $1500 paycheck .  Jeff Watson came home second and claimed the $1000 check. Rusty Yarger finished third $500 while Kevin Riggs and Derrick Davis rounded out the top five positions.

The Big Red Book Street Stocks were next on the track.  And in their fifteen lap feature it looked as if newcomer John Cole was going to make his journey from Berea, KY pay off as he jumped to the lead at the green flag but Jeremie Bretz in the Pendleton Truck service #14 would drive by on a lap 3 restart and take the top position.  Jeremie Scott would get by Cole and chase after Bretz but to no avail as Bretz would win his second feature event of the season. Scott would place second followed by Bruce Gray Jr, Bub Balsley and Shannon Enoch. Cole and Bretz were heat race winners.

In the regular Mt Orab Ford Modified feature event it was Doug Adkins and Shawn Tolson bringing the field to green with Adkins jumping out front to the top spot and Tolson in his new Diamond Racecar in second spot. On lap 3 there was contact between Matt Hamilton and Tolson that resulted in the Aurora Indiana Driver restarting from the tail and Tolson back in second spot. On the restart it was Adkins still out front but the car on the move was the #15 machine of Ray Branscum who would  challenge Adkins for the win but to no avail as the 239 Auto Group, Echo Cleaners, Poske Performance Parts sponsored machine would claim his second victory of the season. Branscum would maintain second position while Weasel Rhodes, Hamilton, and  Kyle Schornick would round out the top five spots. In preliminary action it was Adkins, Tolson, and Schornick winning heat races while Shane Mugavin claimed victory in the B-main event.

In the Sunesis Construction Late Models there were 19 cars on hand and it was Flemingsburg, Ky’s Roger Ruark and Middletown, Ohio’s John Whitney Jr. winning heat races to set the field. In the feature it was Whitney jumping to the top spot but Lawrenceburg, Indiana’s Jason Jameson was on a mission as he jumped from his 4th starting spot up to second on the start and he would drive past Whitney on lap 3 to take over the lead position. Throughout the first fifteen laps it was Jameson and Whitney way out front but the battle for 3rd-8th position was a good one. Following a restart for contact with the wall by Ed Eschman Jameson and Whitney would again separate themselves from the pack but Ethan Burgess, Ruark, Wayne Chinn, Mike Meyers, and Chad Stapleton would battle furiously for the remaining positions. At the end it was Jameson in victory lane,  Whitney 2nd,  Chinn 3rd, with Burgess and Barry Doss rounding out the top five spots.

 
In the sixth and final feature of the night it was the Holman Motor Chevettes coming back out for an encore performance and a fifteen lap make-up feature. At the drop of the green flag it was Joey Yazell out front and a three wide battle behind him with Kevin Riggs, Jeff Watson, and Rusty Yarger battling for the second position. Watson would take the top spot from Yazell on lap three.  But the car on the move was last starting Miles Tarvin who was up to third by lap five. On lap ten Tarvin would go under Watson going into turn number one and Watson shutting the door. Watson would spin around but the caution was charged to Tarvin and Watson would restart from the lead. Watson would continue on to take his first win of the season  with Kevin Riggs coming home second followed by Yazell, Scott Ramp, and Derrick Davis.  July 1st Phantom Fireworks Night.
