Skyline Speedway Champions Honored
First Class Awards Fete Honors Weekend Warriors

By Scott Wolfe

MARIETTA, OHIO- Skyline Speedway in Stewart, Ohio held its third annual banquet under the ownership of Billy Jarrell at the Comfort Inn, Marietta, Ohio. Along with Skyline awards, members of the Ohio Valley Sprint Car Association top ten were honored. Nearly 300 people enjoyed the 1st class awards presentation and fine meal prepared by Blacksmith Barbeque, the motel’s restaurant. Guests, once again were admitted free, compliments of Billy Jarrell and Skyline Speedway.
      A social hour preceded the banquet, while entertainment was provided by Nate DiRuzza. The Welcome was given by master of ceremonies Scott Wolfe, while driver Robbie Evans gave the invocation. The five-course dinner was served by the Blacksmith Barbeque staff, followed by the evening's award presentations.
      Wolfe thanked all in attendance for a great year and welcomed guests and sponsors as well as the Skyline Speedway staff, fans, drivers, and crews.
     The top five in each Skyline class was recognized with a trophy and significant cash and contingencies. First, the AMRA Modified Drivers were honored. The top five drivers honored were champion Andy Bond, Rick Venham, Jr., Kenny Johnson, Vince Conrad, and Robbie Evans. Bond received a new Bad Fast Chassis for his efforts. L & M Performance of Bethel, OH upped the champion's prize by contributing front and rear suspension parts if Bond agrees to run the chassis in 2012. Bond took up the offer and went home with one of the evening's best rewards.
      Next, Late Model drivers were honored. Chris Garnes was the 2011 track champion, his second championship, in as many years. Garnes joked to master car builder Audie Swartz, "Do I get the same deal Andy got?" Garnes will receive a new Swartz Extreme Chassis for his efforts. Garnes won 2011's championship in a Swartz Extreme Chassis that he won as a result of being the 2010 champ. Swartz Chassis is located in Minford, Ohio.
Behind Garnes in the points were Ralph Withem, Freddie Carpenter, Chris Carpenter, and Larry Bond. All went home with at least $500 in prizes.
     Jimmy Stinson was then recognized as the Skyline Speedway champion for the second year in a row. Stinson edged out teammate Aaron Higgins also from the B&J Welding and Contracting stable, 711 points to 693. Josh Davis was third, Dave Dickson fourth, and Brian Benson fifth.
Todd Frye of Hoosier Ohio Valley and co-organizer of the Ohio Valley Sprint Car Association then welcomed members of that elite organization and gave a summary of the 2011 season. Frye recognized sponsors of the series and thanked all the drivers that supported the series over the last couple of seasons. As Wolfe announced the top guns in the series, Frye and OVSCA founder      Billy Jarrell presented drivers with their checks and gift certificates. Over $15,000 in cash prizes and several thousand dollars of contingencies went to the drivers in attendance.
Jimmy Stinson, Vandalia, Ohio was then called to the podium a second time, this time to be crowned as the OVSCA Champion for the second year in a row. Second in the standings through tenth included Josh Davis, Aaron Higgins, Dave Dickson , Chris Myers, Andre Layfield, Wayne McPeek, Brian Benson, Mark Imler, and Greg Mitchell. All of the top ten drivers' names were put in a hat for a chance at the Maxim Chassis from Fisher Performance and Rick Susong. Ironically, Stinson's name was drawn, and he went home with the new chassis. Sponsors of the series include R2C Performance, Saldana Racing Products, Weld Racing, ASI Racewear, Bazelle Fuels, Outerwears, All-Star Performance, Hoosier Tire, Hoosier Ohio Valley, and Poske's Performance Parts.
      Several drums of fuel and Hoosier Tires went to racers as door prizes. Sprint driver Greg Mitchell passed along his winning drum of fuel to grassroots veteran Benny Hickel. The gesture was a kind effort in support of a fellow racer.
       Over one-thousand dollars in door prizes went to those in attendance.
Billy Jarrell thanked banquet organizer and Track Promotions Director Katie Dickson for her efforts in putting together another successful banquet. Special recognition went to Angie and Mike Haught, longtime Skyline employees, scorers Alice Keefer and Delores Freshour, and flagman Todd Gorrell.

     Special Thanks was given to Wetzel's Racing Collectibles, who presented many of the door prizes; C & S Racing Photo, Poske's Performance Parts, Hoosier Ohio Valley, Dayton Auto Racing Fan Club, Rock Auto Racing Parts, Racers for Christ, ASI Racewear, Bazell Race Fuels, Sprintco, Outerwears Performance Products, R2C Performance, Saldana Racing Products, Weld Racing, Comfort Inn, Danielle Smith, and Nate DiRuzza. Racing photo packages and trophies were in part sponsored by C&S Racing Photo.

Skyline Points Finalized for Release
Banquet Details to Come

STEWART, OHIO-In a year that saw an economy in dire straits, Skyline Speedway in Stewart, Ohio persevered for another successful season of racing. Plans for the banquet--to be held November 19-- will be released soon.
      Although this release is one year removed from the last season finale, the results were the same in the Sprint and Late Model Divisions which saw Jimmy Stinson, Vandalia, Ohio capture the 410 Sprint championship with owner Billy Jarrell and Chris Garnes, Evans, WV repeating in the AMRA Late Models. Andy Bond returned to championship form in the AMRA Modifieds, while Tommy Adkins captured the Four-Cylinders in a repeat performance, and Frankie Hall claimed the Semi-Late Crate Championship. R.D. Jones, St. Albans, was the high-point Mod Lite driver and Cole Mayle captured the Mini-Wedge title in 2011.
      Overall, 355 cars competed at the Speedway. In times of economic recovery this was a huge plus. At least three tracks in Ohio closed in 2011; however, Skyline was one of a few to hold its own with large car counts and great racing. Reportedly, 43 local dirt tracks nationwide closed or sat idle in 2011.               "Support your home track or tracks" is the battle cry that area drivers, promoters, and fans will carry in to the 2012 race season. "Without the fan and car support, the races cannot go on". Southeastern Ohio-Northern West Virginia fans were supportive of the racing at all Tri-State tracks.
Of the 355 cars that earned points throughout the year, the AMRA late models led with 94 cars overall, while the sprints tallied 41 and the AMRA Modifieds 86. The sprint title went right down to the wire after points leader Jimmy Stinson flipped on championship night. Stinson narrowly defeated Aaron Higgins 711 to 693 with Josh Davis in third 665, Dave Dickson fourth with 657, and Brian Benson 533.
      In the Late Models Chris Garnes again claimed victory with a 744 to 614 pad over runner-up Ralph Withem. Chris Carpenter had 578, Larry Bond 575, and Andy Bond 574 to round out the top five.
With Skyline, Beckley and Elkins a trio of only a very few tracks running for AMRA points on Fridays, Skyline reaped the benefits of having a good location to draw drivers chasing AMRA points in both the Late Model and Modified divisions.
      The Semi-Late Crate division began to bloom at the end of the season. Although some drivers switched from Late Model to Semi-Late Crates, an influx of new blood came into the pits as a result of the change.
      Skyline Speedway would like to invite all drivers to the upcoming banquet on November 19. See a future release and details on the website at www.skylinespeedway.net for further details.
      Congratulations and continued good luck to all drivers and fans, especially drivers earning championships. From the folks at Skyline Speedway, "Good Luck in the off season and we will see you next spring" with bigger and better things to come.

Skyline Sprint Finale to Duncan
Carpenter, Carpenter, and Evans Claim

STEWART, OHIO-A good crowd and great night welcomed Lockbourne, Ohio driver Cole Duncan in the family owned 22/Labonte Racing/ISPC sponsored car to victory lane in the Ohio Valley Sprint Car Association $3,000 to win finale Saturday night. Fast Freddie Carpenter, South Parkersbug, WV claimed the AMRA Late Models, son Tyler Carpenter claimed the Crate Late feature and Robbie Evans grabbed the AMRA modified main. The event drew 112 cars for the season-ending event.
A great field of 410 sprint cars on Hoosier Tires turned out for the special $3,000 event. Casualties for the nght included flip victims Jimmy Stinson in the feature and Jamie Myers in one of the preliminaries. Veteran Benny Hickel finished second in his heat race, but left the track afterward after seeking medical attention and did not race the feature.
As always the sprint cars put on a great show, but when the dust had settled, it was Cole Duncan, who also won last year's finale in a repeat performance. Rounding out the top ten were Cole Duncan, Danny Smith, Andre Layfield, Chris Myers, Jimmy Nier, Aaron Higgins, Keith Baxter, Wayne McPeek, Dave Dickson, and Josh Davis.
Keith Baxter was the hard charger after moving up into the feature by virtue of a b-main win.
Fast Freddie Carpenter saved the best for last as the Tru-Tech C-4 Special was the first to the finish line after a race-long battle with son Chris Carpenter and Chris Garnes. Rounding out the top ten were Freddie Carpenter, C. Carpenter, Chris Garnes, Travis Brookover, Shawn Jett, Dan Morrison, Daniel Hill, Roy Roush, and Ralph Withem.
Robbie Evans was the best of the field in the highly competitive AMRA modified divisioin. 29 Cars packed the pits in an effort to make the feature. Rick Venham, Jr., Evans, and Dusty Boley were the heat winners.
Evans blitzed to victory after a strong battle with Vince Conrad and Andy Bond. Rounding out the top ten were Robbie Evans, Conrad, A. Bond, Garnes, McPherson, Boley, Venham, Willis, Carr, and Conley,
Another Carpenter built the foundation for a win in the Crate Lates--young Tyler Carpenter brought home the win over Kenney Newhouse and Steve Bigley. Rounding out the top ten were Carpenter, Newhouse, Bigley, Hall, Doll, Huber, Burdette, Hinkle, Prosser, and Smith.
Jason Gillian brought home the win over a fifteen car field in the Mini-Wedge division.
Fans should stay posted for upcoming events and banquet news on the website. The banquet has tentatively been set for Nov. 19.

Skyline Speedway Results

Carrier takes 1st Harvest 50 Win!  Andre Awesome In Sprints

Johnson Jumps for Harvest Cash!! Takes Road Warrior Challenge
By Scott Wolfe
STEWART, OHIO-A nearly full house and lots of on track action was the highlight of the 28th annual running of the Harvest 50 at Skyline Speedway (Stewart,Ohio) where Salt Rock, WV driver Eddie Carrier, Jr. brought home the $5,000 victory for the AMRA Late Models, over longtime leader Josh McGuire. Kenny Johnson made a late race pass of Chris Stotts to claim the Road Warrior Challenge $1,500 to win, 30-lap main for the AMRA Modifieds; and Grafton, WV driver Andre Layfield captured the companion 25-lap Harvest 50 Sprint Car win in the Ohio Valley Sprint Car Association series.
As a surprise gesture to the McVey family, the night's racing activities were dedicated to Paul Pappy McVey, who spent most of his life around racing; and up until last year was active in the C & S Racing Photo stand. McVey also owned race cars for many, many years. The McVey family expressed its gratitude to track owner Billy Jarrell and all fans, drivers, and track crew.
Said Carrier in victory lane, "The caution was the key to the win. I don't think I coulda got him without the caution, but I might have. Up to that point, I just kept my line and hadn't really tried another line."
"It was to a point where I had to make a move, and then the caution flew. To get by Josh I had to try another line, so I moved to the lower middle and the car was fast there. I had to make sure I cleared him coming out of four. The car sure was good tonight. I've been coming here a long time to get a Harvest 50 win and I finally got one! We've put together a few wins here lately, so maybe this will give us some momentum going down the stretch."
"Thanks to Carl, the fans, and Skyline for this great track here tonight."
Second place Josh McGuire was somewhat disappointed, but chalked it up as one of those racing deals. "Right before the caution, I felt like I spun my tires in lapped traffic. Up to that point it was pretty quiet. The caution hurt, but I'm gonna put it down as a mistake on my part. After I spun them, the tires really sealed over and that was the race."
Fast time of the night for the 47-car field went to West Virginia invader Tim Senic, of Elkins, WV. The first lap of the late model main was a drag race around the 3/8 mile red clay oval between McGuire and multi-time Skyline winner Chris Carpenter. Side-by-side the duo raced until McGuire flexed his muscle for what turned into a 39-lap cakewalk.
Racing back in the pack was downright torrid. B-main winner and 15th place starter Chris Garnes highlighted that action with what turned into a 15th to 5th place run. That spectacular run earned Garnes the hard charger award in his Swartz Extreme #42. Only four cars dropped out and three of those were behind Garnes at the time of exit.
By lap eleven Chris Carpenter and Carrier's Rocket/Grover Racing Engines car were engaged in a full-bodied, fisticuffs of a fight for second. That battle endured some 20 laps before Carrier broke free for second. Also, by lap 11 McGuire was already in lapped traffic and endured the heavy traffic-jam was Carrier and Carpenter minimally cut the gap.
Rod Conley and Ricky Williams battled hard for fourth, then Freddie Carpenter moved into the mix. Around lap 30 the leaders moved out of lapped traffic and were again free sailing. With a clear path ahead McGuire turned on the afterburners some 6-7 car lengths ahead of Carrier.
One at a time Garnes was picking his way to the front. Conley finally shed Williams as Garnes strategically worked by fast timer Tim Senic, Delmas Conley, and Tim Dohm, who now was the last car on the lead lap.
By lap 38 heavy traffic again was the thread of drama Carrier, the Salt Rock Express, had hoped for. But on lap 40 traffic moved out of the picture as Dohm looped it after showing visible contact and gnarled front end. Rod Conley broke during the caution after a solid attempt at 5th place. On the restart, Carrier was all over McGuire. Carrier led lap 41, but McGuire came back to again grab the lead. Side-by-side, Carrier made it stick on the next circuit, then blitzed to the checkered in the same domination McGuire had show earlier.
Father Freddie Carpenter passed son Chris on the 46th circuit. The battle was not the least bit passive as Chris Came back two laps later to recapture third. Rounding out the top ten were Eddie Carrier, Josh McGuire, Chris Carpenter, Freddie Carpenter, Chris Garnes, Ricky Williams, Tim Senic, Delmas Conley, Tim Dohm, and Tyler Carpenter.
In the 25-lap sprint main, Josh Davis and Andre Layfield paced the field to the waving green of Todd Gorrell. Layfield hooked the cushion momentarily, but recovered and was fast, smooth for the next 25 laps. With Layfield comfortably out front, the battle of the night was the torrid dual between teammates Jimmy Stinson and Jimmy Nier in B&J Welding and Contracting entries.
First Stinson, then Nier as the two sliced and diced form the first 15 laps of the main before Nier finally broke free and gave chase to Layfield. Layfield sported a new Barry Jackson GF-1 Chassis with Charlie Fisher power.
When all was said and done the top ten trickled down like this: Andre Layfiend, Jim Nier, Jimmy Stinson, Josh Davis, Aaron Higgins, Dave Dickson, Brian Benson, Greg Mitchell, Eric Martin, and Jesse McCreary.
Said Layfield, "We bought a new car and it is really fast. We shoulda won the first night out but we got the job done tonight. I just tried to go fast and keep it straight and it worked so well, I just went along for the ride."
What was the key to the win for AMRA defending champion Kenny Johnson? "Lapped Traffic," Johnson grinned. "I think we had a decent lead," the winner of 17 features this 2011 quipped. "I tried getting by traffic the best I could. Chris caught me in traffic and drove right by and I just hung right there with him. It was one of those deals where we got in traffic again and I just happened to have the right line. "
"The car was great and I can't say enough about my crew and thanks to the fans. You have to be good and lucky sometimes and tonight we were a little of both," summed up Johnson.
Second place Chris Stotts, visibly dejected, had a different take, "Nobody wants to pay attention to the lay-over flag anymore. Yeah, that was huge, but bottom line was we just got outrun tonight. Kenny was fast all night long."
Third place Doug Henry, visibly pleased with his run, said, "We struggled all year long and tonight I think we found it. We finally found what we were missing and it turned out to be a good night, just a little late in the season." Henry stormed from 8th to third against a very stout field of modifieds.
Johnson jumped into the lead early and for the first couple laps met some resistance from up-and-coming Mike McPherson. Johnson soon started to check out, running anywhere on the track in his Billy Lloyd Engines/Shaw Chassis #1J. That left McPherson, Deana Groves, and Chris Stotts to battle for position. The battle of the eleven's were strung out down the line in a hot, competitive battle as Roy Roush, Matt Holcomb, the defending Road Warrior Champ; and Shawn Donahue shook up the field back in the pack.
Meanwhile, Doug Henry was making his move up the ladder and toward the front. Passing was at a premium. Although the track laid down rubber, the surface was spongy and had some tack, making for great racing throughout the night. Rick Venham, Jr. and Andy Bond worked hard to crack the top ten with Venham eventually moving from 11th to 7th and Bond 12th to 8th. Vince Conrad earned hard charger with a 17th to 11th place run after winning the B-main.
By lap 20 Stotts and Johnson were locked in a battle-royal with side-to-side racing amid a gaggle of lapped cars. Initially, the wall of traffic helped Stotts make his move, but in the end the roles were reversed. On lap 24 Stotts pulled Johnson coming out of four and led the next two circuits, nearly three, when Johnson was in the right spot to break clear for a milli-second and make a high-side pass over Stotts.
Stotts fought back, but not enough time remained as Johnson stormed across the line for his 17th win of the year. Roush won the battle of the 11's with a strong fifth behind another good run from McPherson.
Rounding out the top ten were Kenny Johnson, Chris Stotts, Doug Henry, Mike McPherson, Roy Roush, Matt Holcomb, Rick Venham, Jr., Andy Bond, Matt E. Holcomb, and Deana Groves.
The racing finalized Skyline's point's racing. Points will be posted when they are available. Possibly Skyline will run another race or two, possibly with a Sprint Car/ Late Model Invitational with Modifieds on Oct. 8. Again this date is just tentative and fans should visit the website or facebook for further announcements. The AMRA Road Warriors race again Saturday, Oct. 1 at K-C Raceway.
