Waynesfield Motorsports Park opened the gates on August 9th to host non-wing sprint cars, 600cc mini-sprints, tuff trucks and a special powder puff race for the ladies. The weather was beautiful and the fans were treated to some excellent racing on the dirt high banked quarter mile.
The Waynesfield tuff trucks were the first racing class to start their feature. Mike "The Enforcer" Hicks already had four feature wins in his truck this season and wanted number five. Hicks wasted little time getting to the front. Three time truck winner Gabe Twining and two time truck winner Jessica Nuss fought a good battle for the runner up position but neither could provide much of a challenge for Hicks. Hicks was first to the checkers followed by Twining and Nuss. The truck heats were won by Hicks, Nuss, and Buzz Jacobs. Tom Stauffer won the truck b-main.
The 600cc mini-sprints would see a new visitor to Waynesfield's victory lane. Sam Ashworth drove his white and orange #92 mini-sprint like a seasoned veteran to lead most of the race and earn his carrer first victory. Todd Keen ran a smooth race to finish in 2nd. #47 Gary Loney is still without a win at Waynesfield this year but just keeps racking up those top three finishes, with another 3rd this week. Mini-sprint heats were won by Loney and Devon Dobie.
As the high powered non-wing sprint cars were being push started on the track, a slight sprinkle of rain began to fall. The tiny bit of rain never amounted to much and those sprint cars have enough motor their spinning wheels just blew the rain drops off the track. Last year the Smith brothers, Corey and Dustin, often finished their nights at Waynesfield with a family celebration in victory lane. This week was Corey's 2nd visit this year to Waynesfield and Dustin's 1st visit this season. The Smiths travel all the way from Kokamo Indiana and like to win enough cash to cover the high priced fuel for their long trip. Corey Smith would get his blue sprint car into the lead early and dominate the competition for the entire race. The "lil shu" Casey Shuman worked his way past Sammy Imel on lap 14 but couldn't gain much ground on Smith. Corey Smith easily won the race with Shuman in 2nd and Imel finishing 3rd. Dustin Smith got a 5th place finish behind Jon Nelson. Sprint car heats were won by Shuman, Tony Main, and Luke Hall.
Waynesfield Motorsports Park will continue the Saturday night racing on August 16th with non-wing sprints, UMP modifieds, tuff trucks, and the special 600cc Mini-Sprint Madness show. Hot laps start at 6:00 with racing starting at 7:00pm.
Kate Heitkamp driving the number 20 truck finished 3rd and was announced as finishing 3rd but when they took her picture they gave her 4th place. we addressed this at they pay out and was told that it wasnt their deal and they had nothing to do with it. i heard from a few other people in there that she did finish 3rd and that the 71 truck was a lap down. from the 2 videos ive seen she did finish 3rd. im not very happy with the response i got from the track with this issue. so i dont know why the 71 truck got the 3rd place finish. Kate needs the credit she deserves for the place she finished she did a Great job!!!
