Noffsinger, Miller and O Conner take home the money from Waynesfield Motorsports Park. With rain and cancellations all around and gloomy skies overhead threatening, the track staff, fans and competitors moved ahead hoping for the best. What we got was exciting three wide racing throughout the evening and three fresh faces in victory lane for this year. First up for the evening were our 4-cylinder trucks and with Mike Hicks and Danny Kelly winning both heat races, two people were looking to hurry up and add their names to the feature winners list for 2007. Mark Hunnaman though would have a bird’s eye view of the green flag as he lead to field to green. Three laps into the feature with the 4F still in the lead trouble, and the yellow flag showed up for the 85Y who spun bunching the trucks back up. Shortly after the green came back out the 18N and last weeks winner the 21Z were making a bid on the winners check running first and second when on lap 9 the 5B who was in the top-five spun. After that Derrick Noffsinger took control of the race stretching his lead little by little, winning over a hard charging Jessica Nuss. The non-wing sprints were up next and this would be their first time on the new race track. The heats were won by Kyle “the kid” Conaway and 2005 track champion Dustin Trost. Feature time though was left up to just one car with Mike Miller leading all twenty laps. Four laps in the 37k did his second loop on the track but this time he could not keep the car going and the caution flag flew. With the green back in the air the 23s and the 26 were nose to tail with the 82 but neither of them was able to do anything with the other. Around the middle part of the race the 74L along with “the kid” put the top five all in a bunch with third through fifth trading spots multiple times during each lap. By the fourteenth lap the front five were hugging the bottom up until the yellow flew for the 2 car. Two laps later there was a bit of a scare when the 1j and 9n had heavy contact on the backstraight and then under caution the left front wheel of Dallas Hewitt’s car must have had enough as it took a ride into the corn field and Dallas stopped in turn one. Right away on the restart contact between the 8 and 40 could only slow Mike Miller’s arrival time in victory lane by only just a little. At the checkered flag the three cars following the 82 had just inches between them. Last and certainly not least the Modifieds took center stage in our three race program. In preliminary action it was Tony Anderson, Todd Sherman, and Buzz Jacobs grabbing the black and white flags to start off the show. The feature, well that took a couple of tries to finally get it running and a minimum of four cars spun or were redirected to the pits before the first lap was scored. Once underway the Modified drivers wanted to show the fans how much grip was left in the track by lifting up the left front tires the entire race. At the start the 44 took the lead, but not by much. Around halfway through the race he was joined by the 22T trading the lead back and forth like kids do with their baseball cards. Shortly there after six more cars joined in on the fun and the top-eight were all on the front stretch each changing positions with every corner. Thirteen laps in the 20 spun out bringing the field even closer with the 12 now leading. After that Shane O Conner proved to be too much taking command of the race pulling away from the rest of the pack giving the family their second win of the night. Shane’s wife Heather won the 50/50 as well.
