Millersburg OH - Saturday, May 15, 2010 - Starting on the pole, Warsaw's Norm Aronhalt used the very high line to go flag to flag for his first win of the year in the Snyder Brothers Tri State Modified feature. The Wyler Enterprises and Crazy Acres Trophies #309 had to wait through some cautions and on the restarts, fend off charges by third starting George Lee, who could never grab the lead away from Aronhalt. Gary Clark and Sam Lovejoy ran third and fourth as 16th starting Aaron Phillis worked through the field to finish fifth. Aronhalt, Lee, and Clark won the heats.

 John Wilson set on the pole of the Street Stock main but by the time the first lap was completed, third starting Todd Swim of Galion, powered into the lead and take the JR Dowell Trucking, State Farm Insurance, and Beaver Petroleum #44 into victory lane for the third week in a row. Wilson kept the pressure on Swim until mechanical woes forced him to the pits on lap nine. Tony Cline inheireted second place at that point to finish there with Donna Canode in third with Kevin Sharier, who started tenth, claiming fourth with John Miller rounding out the top five. Wilson and Denny Shear topped the heats.

 

Not racing for a couple of years had no ill effects on Jerry Adkins as he parked the Millersburg based #101 in the Holmes Tire Mini Stock victory lane. Jordan James edged out Brad Hensel on the last lap for second with Jeremy Lucas getting fourth on the last circuit from Kevin Markey as those four battled for each position. Mitch Ling, Adkins, and James collected the heat wins.

 

Tanner Johnson won the Mini Wedges feature for the second straight week as Cole Lillibridge was second followed by Blake Morris, Triston Lillibridge, and Josey Lillibridge. Morris and Johnson captured the heats.
