STEWART, OHIO-While it was smothering hot outside, the on track action was even hotter in the Southern Appalachian Hills of Skyline Speedway. Eighty-two cars and a large crowd beat the severe storms in the area with Rick Venham, Jr. taking the final checker flag in the AMRA Modifieds at 10:50 just before a final storm moved through the area. Chris Carpenter, South Parkersburg, made it another clean sweep in the AMRA Late Models, Danny Smith, Chillicothe, OH claimed the OVSCA Sprints, Frankie Hall hammered the semi-lates, and Cole Mayle

Skyline Speedway Results FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
By Scott Wolfe
STEWART, OHIO- It was a solemn, yet fitting tribute to a veteran racing personality. From the Four-wide parade lap tribute from the Mini-Wedges, to the last checkered flag, a fast, furious evening of racing saw Grayson, Kentucky invader Josh McGuire and the remainder of the 91 cars in attendance pay respects in the third annual Jack Shutts Memorial at Billy Jarrell's Skyline Speedway. A large crowd saw McGuire bring home the 40-lap Late Model main, Groveport, Ohio's Cole Duncan claimed the OVSCA sprint main, Matt Holcomb claimed the AMRA Modified main and Tracey Fritter won the Mod-Lite main. High flying Jason Gillian won the Mike's Auto Body Mini-Wedge Feature.
Said AMRA LM winner Josh McGuire, "Thanks to Poskes Performance Parts, Hoosier Tire, GCP Race Engines and Mastersbuilt Chassis along with my crew and family. The key tonight was getting to the front and then getting low and just holding on. These Hoosier tires worked great! We've had a good deal of success here and it was good to be able to put on a show for the fans and the Shutts family."
Hot Rod Conley took the early lead from the outside pole and over the first two circuits built up a comfortable lead. Pole-sitter Jason Montgomery then fell into a groove and began to reel in the leader. Over the next 14-circuits, fans watched in awe as Montgomery pulled in beside Conley and Chris Garnes and McGuire filed in behind for what appeared to be the start of a fast car dash.
Two-wide, two-deep the four heroes battled diligently, sometimes with Montgomery nosing ahead, and then dropping briefly back to third in the high-speed tango. On lap six Montgomery officially became the leader and led until lap 16 with McGuire riding side-saddle the entire route. On the 16th circuit Montgomery drifted wide out of four and McGuire nosed in to lead by feet at the start finish line.
A lap later Montgomery had retaken the lead, but a spin brought out a caution, thus reverting back a lap with McGuire on the point. Montgomery challenged for several laps, but once McGuire’s mount took ahold of the rubber-clad surface, he was off to victory.
Fast-timer Chris Garnes, who earned a pair of tires for the feat, came on strong late in the race to finish third, shuffling Garnes to fourth and Conley to fifth. Only one caution marred the 40-lap event. Rounding out the top ten were defending Harvest 50 winner Zach Dohm, Tyler Carpenter, Ricky Williams, Freddie Carpenter, and Andy Bond. Young Tyler Carpenter was the winner of a group of close runners, finally winning a dual with Williams, while Freddie Carpenter earned hard-charger honors coming from 18th to 9th. Ralph Withem also had a good run to 11th.
If the first few laps of the Late Model feature wasn't enough to fill the competitive appetite of the fans, the 410 Ohio Valley Sprint Car Association feature was. For 25 laps it was anyone's race. Pole-sitter Cole Duncan took the initial lead over outside point-man, veteran Dave Dickson. Jimmy Stinson, the defending Skyline/OVSCA champ, worked high around Dickson while Josh Davis challenged low.
That was about all the breathing room Duncan had. To lap 17 Duncan and Stinson went nose-to-tail, wheel-to-wheel until finally Stinson moved high against the thin cushion to make the leading pass on lap 18. Now in reverse order with Duncan in the catbird seat, Stinson charged toward victory with Duncan dogging him every inch of the way. Coming around for lap 23 Duncan nosed under Stinson in turn three, then pulled him down the chute to retake the lead.
Stinson tried to ride some momentum off the high side, but fell a car short at the finish.
Said Cole Duncan. "Actually it was better to be in second when I was. I could see where I needed to be and kept Jimmy guessing where I was. It also helped to be able to catch Jimmy in lapped traffic. Thanks to Maxim Chassis, Dad, my family and Factory Kahne Shocks. The car really worked great all night long."
Rounding out the top ten behind Stinson were Josh Davis, Dave Dickson, Aaron Higgins, Andre Layfield, Chris Myers, Wayne McPeek, Benny Hickel, and Eddie Slone. Aaron Higgins was the hard-charger of the race.
The AMRA Modified main had a season's worth of action back in the pack, but up front defending Road Warrior Champion Matt Holcomb was on a rail and heading toward victory lane. Holcomb, the Greg Schilling Memorial winner, proved that win was the real deal in driving off into the sunset over a field of heavy-hitters of the modified division.
Draping a cool towel across his neck to put out the fire of a heavy second place battle, Rick Venham, Jr. was all smiles after winning a race-long battle with Andy Bond. Bond tried everything imaginable often drifting by Venham on the turn entry, only to scrape off speed in drifting back to third. Venham persevered for second, but never got the late-race caution he needed to make a bid at Holcomb.
Rounding out the top ten were Jeremy Blake, Robert Garnes, Doug Henry, Roy Roush, J.P. Roberts, Mark Luning, and Vince Conrad. Luning held fourth much of the race in a gaggle of cars that saw 5-to-6 cars battling for a top five. Kenny Johnson, driving hard but suffering a bit, perhaps from a heat race altercation was shuffled out of the top ten-- a rare experience on the AMRA trail.
Luning in-turn fell victim in the battle and the Skyline shuffle, as Jeremy Blake worked his way through the front-runners to fourth, Robert Garnes held a consistent fifth and Henry, R. Roush, and Roberts marched up through the field. Roy Roush was the hard-charger in a 17th to 7th run.
R.D. Jones, Charleston, WV saw Tracey Fritter's back bumper up-close and personal much of the 15-lap Mod Lite main. Jones tried high, tried low and a combination of the two to make a bid a Fritter, but Fritter's momentum prevailed as he raced to his second Skyline win of the season. Jones was second followed by Brandon Fluharty, Tyler Riggs, Nathan Casto, Mike Herrington, Troy Collins, Ray Heskett, Brian Herrington, and David Elmore.
Jason Gillian claimed the exciting Mike's Auto Body Mini-Wedge main over Mini-mainstay Cole Mayle. Behind the winning Gillian in the mini-33 Auto Parts car were Mayle, Coleton Perine, Corey DeLancey, Zach Carr, Skylar Zimmerman, Samantha Roush, Kasey Rankin, and Curstin Giffin.
Kids Bicycle racing highlighted the intermission with 25 kids participating. Additionally, C&S Racing Photo, Poske's Performance Parts, the OVSCA, and Eddie Miller Racing donated five bicycles to children in attendance, making a fun evening for all family and friends.
Next week Skyline hosts the AMRA Late Models, AMRA Modifieds, OVSCA 410 Sprint Cars, and Semi-Late Crate Late Models under an open tire rule.

Holcomb, Davis, Garnes, Fritter take Schilling Memorial Night wins!  Great Crowd and 118 cars compete

Greg Schilling Memorial

STEWART, OHIO-AMRA RWT Champion Matt Holcomb was good, he was lucky, and he ultimately made a clean sweep of the third annual Greg Schilling Memorial before a packed house at Billy Jarrell's Skyline Speedway Friday night. Evans, WV driver Chris Garnes won his third straight AMRA Late Model main. After suffering a bad flip last weekend, Chillicothe's Josh Davis stoked the coals to the 22D for his first Ohio Valley Sprint Car Association win of the season, and Tracy Fritter claimed the Modified Lites main event. Overall, 118 cars graced the pit area with 51 of the best open wheel modifieds in the Midwest hoping to stake claim at one of the division's biggest paydays.
Holcomb was somewhat of a magician, pulling the old hat trick to cap off the win. Holcomb set C&S Racing fast time, claimed the Wetzel's/B&J Welding Dash, then came home with the $1,699 Schilling Memorial win. Holcomb was fast out of the gate with a sizzling 15:63 time trial, then flexed some muscle with a dicing dash win over Aukland.
The performance on the track was just as exciting as the off-the-track drama in the running of the third annual Greg Schilling Memorial. For 25-laps Matt Holcomb, the defending AMRA (American Motor Racing Association) Road Warrior Champion, led the race only to have Late Model Hall of Famer Aukland get by in lapped traffic.
"I thought that was the race," said Holcomb. "I couldn't hit my spots because of the lapped cars and Rick could see what I couldn't, and took advantage of it."
For the racing fan, Friday's special was a Broadway hit. Holcomb got the early lead out of the gate, but Aukland was within inches every stretch of the first 25 markers. Aukland occasionally tried the high side, then moved down low and began to politely nudge under the leader Holcomb. Finally, lapped cars came into play. The first few Holcomb quickly disposed of, but as he progressed up the ladder, a competitive traffic jam emerged, making it rough for the youngster.
Holcomb got trapped behind a backmarker and Aukland took to the highside. The veteran Aukland led the 26th circuit and appeared to be on his way to victory lane, taking the checkered flag first. Aukland made a bonsai move that kept two cars between him and Holcomb at the finish. However, an after-race inspection found the use of an unapproved part on the 2a of Aukland and resulted in disqualification. The result was that heartbreak turned to celebration for Holcomb.
Said Holcomb in victory lane, "I thought the difference in this one was going to be the lapped traffic, and it wasn't to my advantage. But I guess patience paid off. To lose this one after leading was a downer, but to end up with the win is great. Hoosier Tires on this Coyote Chassis and a week's worth of work from Jordan Riggs certainly made the difference. Jordan made this car go the way it did tonight. It's great to win this for the Schilling family."
Closing in on the leaders late in the race was a blitzing Kevin Morehouse with Jeremy Berwanger in tow. Andy Bond and northern KY invader Dave McWilliams hammered it hard for the duration of the race, while Chris Stotts moved from 14th to 7th, falling just short of Hard Charger honors. Roy Roush claimed the hard-charger award with an 18th to tenth place run.
Rounding out the top ten were Matt Holcomb, Kevin Morehouse, Jeremy Berwanger, Andy Bond, David McWilliams, Todd Robinson, Chris Stotts, Robbie Evans, Bart Hartman, and Roy Roush.
Said second place Kevin Morehouse, "The difference between a strong second and winning was that I needed a caution. The tires kicked in about halfway, but Rick and Matt had built up a good lead. I was hoping for a caution, but second is good with this group of racers."
"I was just happy to make the race," smiled former AMRA champ Jeremy Berwanger who brought home third. "Racing with this group is an honor, and it was very special to bring home third tonight. The car was great."
The nearly caution-free Late Model main saw Chris Garnes lead flag to flag in another check-out run. Garnes' Swartz Extreme blasted the field with another hard-charging effort. Most of the race saw second place Ralph Withem give chase to Garnes with a strong run early. Withem then had to defend second against K-C Burdette in a race-long battle. After Withem shed Burdette he found himself wheel-to-wheel with Tyler Carpenter. Ultimately Withem held on for runner-up, halting fast timer Carpenter's charge to the front. Rounding out the top ten were Ralph Withem, Tyler Carpenter, Larry Bond, K-C Burdette, Dan Morrison, Jeff Burdette, Andy Bond, Rick Williams, Freddie Carpenter, and Colten Burdette. Rick Williams was the hard-charger in a 16th to 8th place run.
In the 410 OVSCA Sprint Car main, Fast-timer Josh Davis blasted into the initial lead with Andre Layfield, subbing for Jimmy Stinson, in the Billy Jarrell #22. On lap 9 Layfield put on a slide job and made it stick, then a lap and a half later Davis moved down into the rubber and blasted by Layfield.
"Andre showed me where the fast line was. After last week's flip, my back and tail bone were sore and I could hardly hold myself up in the seat, but with a win insight you find a way to make it work," said Davis.
After Layfield shuffled back to second Jimmy Nier and Wayne McPeek waltzed past, then Aaron Higgins followed in tow. Five cars were within six car lengths of the lead in an anything-goes outcome. Higgins bagged McPeek, the West Virginia Warrior, and then Higgins challenged for the lead. With four laps to go Nier collected a lapped car and suffered a flat.
Higgins tried Davis several times, then Layfield came back to life in a last ditch effort to shoot for the lead. When all was said and done Davis held on for the win. "We took the car to Tony Beaber's Monday to get the frame straight. Heck I don't think it ever went this good. He got it right on. This week was an outhouse to the penthouse week and we sure needed it."
Rounding out the top ten were Josh Davis, Aaron Higgins, Andre Layfield, Wayne McPeek, Brian Benson, Dave Dickson, Kory Crabtree, Chris Myers, Beau Stewart, and Greg Mitchell. Kory Crabtree, who flipped in his heat, got his thoughts and his mount back in order for hard-charger honors, zooming from 15th to 7th.
In the Modified Lites, one of the best in the divisions, Tracey Fritter brought home the win over Cody Bova, and Tyler Riggs. In the Mike's Auto Body Mini-Wedges Cole Mayle went 4-for-4 over Jason Gillian, Coleman Evans, Martin Gibson, Jr., Tyler Evans, Hunter Teters, Coleton Perine, Hunter Newlon, Tanner Hendrix, and Skyler Zimmerman.
Next week is the first leg of the OVSCA 410 Sprint car Speed Weekend featuring the outlaw 410 sprint cars July 1 at Skyline, July 2 at Ohio Valley (Lubeck, WV) and I-77 Raceway Park on Sunday, July 3.

Garnes, Stinson, Johnson, Adkins Ace Skyline Mains
Mayle 3-for-3 in Mini-Wedges
Skyline Speedway Results            June 17, 2011
By Scott Wolfe

STEWART, OHIO-A nearly full moon cast a bright spot in victory lane for Evans, WV Driver Chris Garnes who won his second consecutive AMRA Late Model main at Billy Jarrell's Skyline Speedway Friday night. In the companion 410 Ohio Valley Sprint Car Association headliner, defending champion Jimmy Stinson, Vandalia, OH aboard the B & J Welding and Contracting Maxim pulled off the win, Kenny Johnson aced the AMRA Modified main, and Dennis Adkins claimed the Four-Cylinder spotlight. Ninety-two cars were entered in the event.
In the 25-lap AMRA Late Model main Chris Garnes, Evans, WV took the lead from Jackson's Jason Montgomery on the 4th lap and never looked back, half-tracking the field in his Swartz Extreme/Cornett Engines/ Tri-County Builders #42. Garnes lapped all but the first seven cars in one of the most impressive runs of the year.
           For the first seven laps Montgomery stayed close, but Garnes gradually pulled off to a huge lead. Montgomery safely anchored down second, but Rod Conley and Chris Carpenter fought the entire race for third. In the end Carpenter nailed down a close third over Conley.
           Jeff Wood, Athens, in his first start of the season had a good run into the top five while brothers Andy and Larry Bond traded punches for 6th and 7th as the only cars remaining on the lead lap.
           Behind Garnes in the top ten were Montgomery, Chris Carpenter, Rod Conley, Jeff Wood, Andy Bond, Larry Bond, KC Burdette, Colten Burdette, and Jeff Burdette.
           Said Garnes in victory lane, "I knew I had to stay down low around the tires and the car really hooked up there. Also, getting through lapped traffic was tough and fortunately I was able to hit my spots and make it through."
           Making the run even more impressive was that a bloody-handed Garnes narrowly eluded disaster when one of the safety cables on his trailer snapped loose and cut both hands. "I literally had to hold on for this one," smiled Garnes.
           Skyline made a special presentation to Steve McVey in memory of Steve's father, presenting a die-cast car from Wetzel's Collectibles and also signed by all the drivers. Paul Pappy McVey 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 all fans, drivers, and track crew.
           K-C Burdette was the hard-charger in a 17th to 8th place run.
           On the first lap of the OVSCA sprint car main, Kory Crabtree looped it in front of the field, collecting Jamie Myers and Mark Imler who got airborne and did a slow roll over. All three cars were eliminated, but all three drivers were o.k.
           Once the race resumed, pole sitter Jimmy Stinson and Jimmy Nier dueled for the top spot, but once Stinson pulled off the crossover to the high-side, it was all Stinson. Setting fast time and taking the heat win, Stinson made it a clean sweep for the night. The high-flyer lapped all but the top four cars in a spectacular rim-riding run.
           Nier anchored second, while Brian Benson and Josh Davis hammered it out hard for third. Benson held third to the 14th circuit with Davis on his rear nerf every inch of the way. Finally, Davis made the pass for position, while Wayne McPeek, Aaron Higgins, and Dave Dickson rattled the bird-cages for a top five. Benson lost some ground in a near spin, allowing Dickson to make the pass late in the race, while Higgins rounded-out fourth.
           Said Stinson, "I just show up. All the credit goes to Billy Jarrell and (mechanic) Gary Hall. Man, Gary had this thing hooked up tonight. He really had it going."
Stinson, as did all feature winners, received a tee-shirt and gift pack from the Dayton Auto Racing Fan (DARF) club and Hootie Gibson. Earlier on the trip down the road Stinson had called Gibson and jokingly said, "Have my Tee-shirt ready tonight."
           Rounding out the top ten were Jimmy Stinson, Jimmy Nier, Josh Davis, Aaron Higgins, Dave Dickson, Brian Benson, Greg Mitchell, Wayne McPeek--the West Virginia Warrior; Sam Ashworth, and Eddie Slone. Sam Ashworth was the race hard charger in a 14th to 9th place run. Greg Mitchell was a notable in a strong 11th to 7th place jaunt. Reportedly, Higgins ( who rambled from 12th to 4th) was a DNQ for not crossing the scales; never-the-less making a strong run in the race.
           The AMRA Modified race was one of the best of the night. Pole-sitter Andy Bond held off Kenny Johnson for the first three markers, but Johnson made the pass on the next circuit. The battle continued in reverse order with Bond dogging Johnson in the high-speed roulette.
Robert Booger Garnes was on a rail as he dueled Jess Hartman tooth-and-nail for fourth behind a solid effort from Vince Conrad in third. Jason Brooks quickly made it a three way race for fourth in a good drive up through the pack.
           Garnes rid himself of Hartman as Conrad pressed Bond. The last seven laps of the race saw that trio duke it out with multiple position changes, and at least three laps where Conrad found himself in a Bond-Conrad-Garnes, three-wide sandwich. Mike McPherson moved into the mix only to leave with motor ailments, as did AMRA point leader Doug Henry.
Johnson's Shaw Chassis 1-J zoomed on to the win. He said, "This one is for Pappy (McVey)."
In a more jovial mood Johnson grinned as he said, "The key tonight was go fast, turn left, and don't screw up! Sometimes I'm pretty good with the last one, but tonight I was pretty good at the first two."
           The top ten were Kenny Johnson, Vince Conrad, Robert Garnes, Andy Bond, Jason Brooks, Jess Hartman, Robbie Evans, Rick Venham, Jr., Frankie Roush, and Jeremy Jarvis. The race hard charger was Frankie Roush in a 18th to 9th place run.
As rains threatened, the Four Cylinder main got underway with Dennis Adkins getting the jump on Tommy Adkins. The initial spurt Dennis had at the drop of the green was just enough to keep him on the point as he waltzed to the win with cousin Tommy right at his side most of the way. They came across the line in this order: Dennis Adkins, Tom Adkins, Chris Lauer, Jeff Rankin, Ken Young, George Klintworth, Barry Kitts, and Tony Plaugher.
           Cole Mayle picked up his third straight win in the Mike's Auto Body's Mini-Wedges. The finish--Cole Mayle, Coleman Evans, Tyler Evans, Hunter Teters, Corey DeLancey, Coleton Perine, Cameron Roush, Martin Gibson, Jr., Zack Carr, and Kasey Rankin

Skyline Speedway Results 6-10-11

Garnes, Smith, Bond, Emmelhainz, Mayle take Skyline Wins!
Another big Field turns out for Adkins Memorial

By Scott Wolfe

STEWART, OHIO-Thunder echoed in the foothills, but the rains held off as a nearly full grandstand and ninety-six of the region's finest drivers filed into Billy Jarrell's Skyline Speedway, where veteran outlaw Danny Smith pulled off the OVSCA Sprint win and Chris Garnes claimed the AMRA Late Model bout. In the Four Cylinder Special--Gene Adkins Memorial Race-- young Tyler Emmelhainz in the Gene Adkins/Pink Panther tribute car claimed the big win, while Kenny Johnson held off Andy Bond for the AMRA modified victory and Cole Mayle captured the Mike's Auto Body Mini-Wedges.
        Dennis Adkins set fast time in the FWD Four Cylinders, then dueled door-to-door with Cousin Tommy Adkins for the first ten laps of the feature. Both are cousins and nephews of the late Gene Adkins, who was memorialized in Friday's event. On lap 11 Dennis appeared to have blown a radiator hose after a pass attempt high on the outside.
        The race went green to lap 15 when a caution for debris slowed the field when Tommy Adkins and a lapped car made contact. Adkins was a half track ahead at the time, but his misfortunes grew as a flat tire sidelined him from the remainder of the event. Emmelhainz, who had just secured second from a hard-charging Kevin McKenzie, inherited the lead and blasted onward to the win.         Ironically, Emmelhainz is the Grandson of the late Gene Adkins.
Denzil Barker was in the running for the win most of the race, while Tony Plaugher and George Klintworth joined David Banks and Chris Lauer with worthy charges. Rounding out the top ten were Tyler Emmelhainz, Kevin McKenzie, Denzil Barker, Jr., Tony Plaugher, George Klintworth, David Banks, Chris Lauer, Jeff Blanton, Barry Kitts, and John Rankin. Rankin was the hard-charger advancing six positions, while Klintworth advanced five.
        In the first 4-cyl heat Keith Marlow, a hard charger fighting for position, got the worse end of a three-car tangle that sent him headlong into and over the wall. A Higher Power prevailed as only minor injuries occurred in the scary encounter.
        In the OVSCA 410 sprint main, Danny Smith's Maxim/J&D Engines/Coors light #4 was the cream of the crop, but not withstanding a race-ending battle from young charger Cole Duncan. Smith had blitzed to an early lead, but from lap 12 on Duncan began to reel him in. Jimmy Stinson was right with Duncan much of the way.
        Chris Myers had a great run going with a steady fifth well at hand when his mount struck the wall, then tumbled end-over-end and out of the ball park on the back chute. The nasty spill left his mount worse for the wear, but Myers was O.K. Two laps later, Jimmy Nier and Mitchell Harble made contact and Nier flipped several times exiting turn four. He too emerged without injury.
        That set a five-lap shootout to the finish. Duncan jumped the cushion on the initial start. lost some ground, and had to scramble to catch Smith. Duncan closed the gap, but the crafty Smith held on for his second Skyline win and third win in a row.
        Rounding out the top ten were Danny Smith, Cole Duncan, Jimmy Stinson, Kory Crabtree, Aaron Higgins, Mitch Harble, Dave Dickson, Josh Davis, Nathan Skaggs, and Brian Benson. Aaron Higgins was the race hard charger in a 13th to 5th run, while Brian Benson came from 16th to tenth.
        In the AMRA late model main Chris Garnes and Racin' Jason Montgomery pounded the clay to starter Todd Gorrell's green flag. The battle for first was hot and heated until Garnes' Swartz/Extreme Chassis/ Cornett Powered #42 began to pull away. Rod Conley, last week's winner, rekindled a feud with young Colten Burdette for third. In the 10-lap qualifying heat the duo battled side-by-side for the entire race with 15 lead changes. Burdette deservingly won that battle, but this time Conley prevailed.
        With Garnes clicking off the laps, Conley now challenged Montgomery hard for second. Only one caution flew in the 25-lap event that saw Garnes win by a hefty margin. Rod Conley anchored second over Montgomery, while Colten Burdette, Freddie Carpenter, Ralph Withem, Dan Morrison, KC Burdette, Bub Crum, and Larry Bond rounded out the top ten. The race hard-charger was K-C Burdette who came from 14th to 8th.
        The star-studded AMRA Modified main saw Robbie Evans edge Jesse Hartman on the start. That set an early tango between Evans, Hartman, and defending AMRA champ Kenny Johnson. Evans led the first few markers before Johnson broke free from the rest of the pack and charged to the victory.

        The great driving was reflected in a caution free, green-to-checkered run that saw the last checkered flag fall at 11:30 (despite three significant red flag delays on the evening).
Mike McPherson, Robert Garnes, and Chris Stotts had steady charges through the pack. McPherson, Andy Bond and Johnson all were right there at the finish. McPherson and Stotts each picked up nine positions to share hard Charging honors with great runs. Johnson, Andy Bond, Mike McPherson, Robbie Evans, Robert Garnes, Roy Roush, Chris Stotts, Jess Hartman, Rick Venham, Jr., and Tommy Powell rounded out the top ten.
Cole Mayle won his second straight Mike's Auto Body Mini-Wedge main. He was followed by Martin Gibson, Jr., Corey DeLancey, Zach Carr, Kasey Rankin, Samantha Roush, and Jason Gillian.
        Next week, June 17 is the Father's Day Special where all Dad's get in for just $10. Mom and kids are asked to treat Dad to this special bargain price and a night at the races. Kids 12 and under are free! Coming June 24 is the 3rd Annual Greg Schilling Memorial, while the next night is the Road Warrior Challenge at I-77, a big two-day deal.

Conley, Smith, Bond, Wise take Skyline 2011 Openers
Huge Field turns out for Inaugural Run

Skyline Speedway Results FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
By Scott Wolfe

STEWART, OHIO- A beautiful summer night and 106 CARS welcomed the start of the 2011 racing season at Billy Jarrell's Skyline Speedway where Wheelersburg, Ohio's Rod Conley picked up the AMRA Late Model win, veteran Danny Smith claimed the 25-lap OVSCA 410 sprint main, Andy Bond claimed the AMRA Modified main, Randy Wise took the Four Cylinders, and Cole Mayle claimed the Mike's Auto Body Mini-Wedges.
        Fast Timer and heat winner Harold Redman, Jr. and last year's biggest winner at Skyline, Chris Carpenter, paced the field to the green in the 25 lap AMRA Late Model main. Chris Carpenter took the initial lead and began to pull away from second place K-C Burdette. The race went straight green to lap-eleven when Freddie Carpenter caught the back chute wall to bring out the caution.
        In the meantime, Hot Rod Conley had passed Burdette with a hard-charging Jason Montgomery following in tow for third. On the restart Carpenter resumed the lead, but also last year's Harvest 50 winner Zach Dohm jumped Redman on the start and would later be penalized two spots. Dohm went on to outdistance the field, but the miscue would prove to be costly.
        At this point the race for second was actually for first. Rod Conley and Carpenter put on quite a show with Conley actually taking the lead on lap 21. Dohm ran under the checkered flag first, however, Conley brought home the $1,500 cash in the Conley Trucking 71R. Said Conley, "The key to the win was Bart Hartman helping me sort this car out all evening long. The changes we made sure made a difference and the car hooked up nice. As far as the win goes, we will take them any way we can get them." Conley also thanked Rocket Chassis, Conley Trucking, and Hoosier Tire by Frye.
        Rounding out the top ten were Rod Conley, Chris Carpenter, Zach Dohm, Travis Brookover, Chris Garnes, Jason Montgomery, Harold Redman, Jr., Andy Bond, Tyler Carpenter, Ralph Withem, and Larry Bond. The hard-charger was Tyler Carpenter in a 17th to 8th place run.
        The Ohio Valley Sprint Car Association A-main went green to checker with Jimmy Nier jumping out to the early lead. Nier seemed invincible, but slowly the old veteran Danny Smith kept reeling him in. Finally on lap 12 Smith drove under Nier in turn one and zoomed to the win.
Andre Layfield battled Smith hard earlier, when Nier was on the point, but when Smith went to the top spot Layfield was left to battle hard with Wayne McPeek. McPeek and Layfield exchanged positions several times in the middle ten laps before McPeek's tires went away.
        Said Smith in victory lane, "The key tonight was being patient and getting to the bottom. I got about as low as I could and the car worked well there. Thanks to the fans for letting us put on a show and coming out and supporting us. Also, thanks to the track and fans for passing the hat last year when I broke my back. It was well appreciated and gave us incentive to come back and put on a good show here tonight." Smith also thanked his crew and sponsors for making the win possible.
        Rounding out the top ten behind Danny Smith were Jimmy Nier, Andre Layfield, Wayne McPeek, Dave Dickson, Aaron Higgins, Mark Imler, Josh Davis, Keith Baxter, Bryce Dickson, and Nathan Skaggs. The sprint hard-charger was Josh Davis up from 15th to 8th.
In the war ridden AMRA modified main, Andy Bond leaped into first and saw Kenny Johnson distantly in his mirror as he blitzed to a big lead and on to the big win.
        Much action took place back in the pack, where numerous battles for position and sometimes 3-wide racing from the open wheelers thrilled the crowd. The top ten were Andy Bond, Kenny Johnson, Derrick Smith, Robbie Evans, Bart Hartman, J.P. Roberts, Robert Garnes, Jess Hartman, Mike McPherson, and Jeremy Jarvis. Smith and Bart Hartman had good runs, while the hard-charger was Robbie Evans up from 15th to 4th.
Randy Wise and Tommy Adkins the top winners from last year again battled it out for bragging rights in the Front Wheel drive Four Cylinders. Adkins and Wise trade paint several times, but Wise was able to slide by for the win.
        The top ten were Randy Wise, Tommy Adkins, Dennis Adkins, George Klintworth, Tony Plaugher, Ken Young, Jeff Rankin, Barry Kitts, Steve Brown, and John Rankin.
Young Cole Mayle looked like a pro in the Mike's Auto Body Mini-Wedges. Mayle claimed the win in a big way over Martin Gibson Jr., Corey DeLancey, MacKenzie Perine, Samantha Roush, Kasey Rankin, Troy Collins, Coleton Perine, Jake Ice, and Zack Carr. Tony Plaugher was the Four Cylinder hard charger.
        Next week, June 10 is the Four Cylinder Gene Adkins Memorial and Regular Show for all other divisions. Gates open at 4:30PM . The Four Cylinder Adkins Memorial will pay $600 to win. June 17 is the Father's Day Special where all Dad's get in for just $10, one of the biggest bargains of the year. The bicycle racing has been moved to July 15. Coming June 24 is the 3rd annual Greg Schilling Memorial for AMRA Modifieds.
        New track sponsors include Kiser's BBQ Shack, No Idea Sports Dining, Rock Auto, and Adkins Timber, Inc.

Skyline Speedway Results FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
By Scott Wolfe
STEWART, OHIO-Under a full moon in the foothills of beautiful Appalachia, Skyline Speedway provided the perfect backdrop for victory lane, where Morgantown's Andre Layfield stormed from 13th to first in an exciting Ohio Valley Sprint Car Association feature for 410 sprint cars. Chris Carpenter, Parkersburg, WV ousted dad Freddie Carpenter for his eighth win in the AMRA Late Models, Kenny Johnson, Parkersburg, claimed the AMAR Modifieds, Gary Gould claimed the Pure Stocks, Randy Wise the four cylinders, and the dominator Will Holland claimed the Mini-Wedge main.
In the 410 Ohio Valley Sprint Car Assoc. main event Mitchell Harble got the early jump on the initial start, but a caution waved. Kory Crabtree, a Skyline and OVSCA points' contender was sidelined with mechanical problems on the caution. After a second try in which Wayne McPeek was whistled for jumping, the field went single file with Harble on the point. Harble put his #15 on the high side and blasted around the high-banked oval with great precision.
Just like a week ago, crafty veteran Dave Dickson put the Abbott 7a on the lowside and chased down Harble. Harble high, Dickson low--the duo battled for several laps before Dickson took over on lap eleven. The ever-improving Harble was not deterred and continued to battle Dickson. Another points' contender Josh Davis left with steering woes after contact with another car.
All the while Keith Baxter was on the move after battling hard with a charging Andre Layfield with hot shoe Jimmy Stinson giving chase to Dickson and Harble. Dickson used the same drive he used to victory last week, but Layfield picked off both Harble and Stinson to move into third behind Baxter.
Layfield's victory march came on the high side where his J&J Chassis/Fisher Powered mount locked down in overdrive. Layfield bagged second place Harble, then worked on Dickson, taking command on lap 21. Layfield rode the momentum to the victory in the OVSCA main, his second of the season.
Said Layfield, "I knew when I made it to third that I was going to win. The car was really working great at the top. I knew that the car was good, but we also got a little bit lucky. Any way you look at it I glad to get the win."
Youngsters Sam Ashworth and Cale Conley in the Jamie Miller #6 had good runs. Conley charged from 16th to seventh ahead of sizzling Fireman Brian Benson and Wes McGlumphy. Aaron Higgins had a great run from the tail to tenth and Wayne McPeek charged from 17th to 11th. Layfield was hard-charger, advancing the most positions from 13th to number one.
Rounding out the top ten were Layfield, Dave Dickson, Keith Baxter, Mitchell Harble, Jimmy Stinson, Sam Ashworth, Cale Conley, Brian Benson, Wes McGlumphy, and Aaron Higgins. Cale Conley was another hard charger of the race up to seventh from 17th.
In the AMRA Late Model main, the father-son team of Chris Carpenter and Freddie Carpenter paced the field to the green flag. Chris got the jump on dad and Fast Freddie filed in behind. Once again lots of action took place back in the pack with Jeff Burdette making a quick jump up the ladder.
On the third lap, Scott Wolfe lost a drive shaft to bring out the first caution of the race. When the action resumed young Carpenter was once again on the launching pad. Fast Freddie showed his son the nose a few times, but couldn't make a successful bid. Two noticeable drivers charging to the front were consi drivers Tyler Carpenter in the Buckwheat Shutts Rocket and Dan Morrison in his new Rocket with both drivers missiling to the front up from 16th and 18th respectively. Morrison squeezed one more position out of the mix to capture hard-charger honors.
Burdette bagged a gaggle of heavy hitters to jump past Andy Bond, Josh McGuire, Chris Garnes and Travis Brookover in the early stages. The only other caution was a lap nine skirmish that sent Larry Bond to the tail. Bond recovered to finish ninth. McGuire, Burdette, and Garnes dueled hard, while the dynamic duo of Carpenter and Son set up shop ahead of the pack.
Rounding out the top ten were Chris Carpenter, Freddie Carpenter, Jeff Burdette, Chris Garnes, Josh McGuire, Tyler Carpenter, Dan Morrison, Travis Brookover, Larry Bond, and Ralph Withem.
In the AMRA Modified main, Kenny "Worth the Price of Admission" Johnson gave the fans their money's worth. With a big bang for the buck, Johnson was the elite car in the field, distancing himself a full straight-away lead right out of the gate. While Johnson was on Cruise-control J.P. Roberts anchored second place. Roberts had a hand full of Chris Stotts and Robert Garnes. The mayhem continued sometimes three-wide, but by lap 13 Mike McPherson had run down most of the front-runners and after sacking Robbie Evans, went after Stotts. McPherson, the hard charger in a 12th to third run, took third on lap 16 and grabbed second from Roberts on lap 18 in a great run.
Evans just missed a top five over Matt Holcomb, Jeremy Blake, up from 15th, Buddy Brogan, and Derrick Smith. Smith and Brogan joined Blake in a run from the back to finish in the top ten.
Rounding out the top ten were Kenny Johnson, Mike McPherson, J.P. Roberts, Robert Garnes, Chris Stotts, Robbie Evans, Matt Holcomb, Jeremy Blake, Buddy Brogan, and Derrick Smith.
In the Pure Stock division former go-kart racer Gary Gould pulled off his first ever Skyline feature win. Recently, Gould bought a machine off Jeremy Blake and quickly adapted to the ranks, challenging for the lead last week before getting a flat tire. Gould was the class of the field as he pulled away to huge lead even after two mid-race cautions. Shelly Powell also had the hammer down with her best run of the year for second.
Ryan Wilson had mechanical woes and started on the tail, but came back to third after a good run. Rounding out the top ten were Gould, Powell, Wilson, Levi Woods, Chris Ice, George Klintworth, Curt Reck, Jarrad Willis, and Shane Roush.
Randy Wise picked up his first feature win last week and liked it so much, he duplicated the feat in a torrid battle with Tommy Adkins. That duo fought hard early for the top spot, but Wise sped away at mid-race, leaving Adkins to battle Chris Lauer for second.
With Wise comfortably out in front Adkins took second over Lauer in a close finish. Finishing fourth through tenth were Jeff Rankin, Barry Kitts, Dean Wingrove, Heath Warren, George Klintworth, Michael Linn, and Terry Styer.
The top five Mini-Wedge points finale saw Will Holland take the top spot over Martin, Gibson, Jr., Samantha Roush, Cameron Roush, and Abby White. Will Holland once again took the feature win, this time in a hard fought battle with early leaders Martin Gibson, Jr. and Cole Mayle. Mayle led laps five through eight, but Holland took over on lap nine and stormed on to the win. Rounding out the finish were Will Holland, Cole Mayle, Tanner McLaughlin, Corey DeLancey, Cameron Roush, Martin Gibson, Jr., Samantha Roush, and Skylar Zimmerman

Skyline Speedway Results
STEWART, OHIO-It was a typical full-moon night, when the "lunacy" of the lunar illumination made for some crazy action both on and off the track. Skyline Speedway was not spared from the full-moon as a race-long battle between Chris Carpenter, Jeff Burdette, and Chris Garnes in the AMRA Late Models went right down to the wire with Parkersburg's Burdette winning in a wild last lap melee. Chillicothe, Ohio's Josh Davis pulled off the Ohio Valley Sprint Car Association main, Andy Bond claimed the AMRA Modified feature, while Ryan Wilson and Tommy Adkins were repeats in the Pure Stocks and Four Cylinder's respectively. Will Holland captured the Mini-wedge feature. (Read full story)

Burdette Bounce Competition/ Conrad Conquers AMRA Mods

STEWART, OHIO-A great night of racing, featuring the ARCA Truck Series stars, culminated with a classic AMRA Late Model battle won by young second generation driver K.C. Burdette. The win by Burdette breaks a string of wins by someone named Chris--either Chris Carpenter or Chris Garnes. In the AMRA Modifieds Vince Conrad brought home the big feature win.

The ARCA trucks set the stage first and ran a 50 lap event, cut short by a small truck count.

On a hot muggy July evening last Friday night the ARCA Truck Series made their inaugural visit to Billy Jarrell’s Skyline Speedway in southern Ohio for race number 5 of the 12 race schedule.

Practice was not a good indication of how well the night would go as many of the Truck Series drivers had a hard time figuring out the ultra slick 3/8 mile dirt oval. That had all changed by feature time as all 50 laps were run under green, no yellows and all but 2 trucks running at the end.

Belleville MI’s Craig Meyers started on the pole and led the first lap. He was quickly overtaken by third starting Brad Yunker on lap 2. Yunker led the next 7 laps before dirt track ace Frank Wilson Jr. of Belmont WV grabbed the lead. Wilson’s lead was short lived as the hard charging Tim Schafer powered by and took the lead on lap 12. Schafer extended his lead and seemed to be in control of the race until fast qualifier South Park PA’s Chris Bailey Jr. worked his way up from his 9th starting position to grab the lead on lap 32. It looked like it would be a three-way battle to the end between Bailey, Yunker and Schafer but Schafer spun late in the race and lost a lap to the leaders as did Wilson.

Yunker appeared to be closing in on Bailey but ran out of laps as Chris Bailey Jr. took his second victory in the ARCA Truck Series this season in the family-owned C.A. Bailey Excavating Chevrolet. Strong running Brad Yunker of Maumee Ohio finished 2nd in his Owens Community College/Champion Credit Union Chevrolet followed by “mister consistency” Bill Withers in the Withers Foreign Auto Chevy in third. Fourth went to Craig Meyers in his Classic Racing Coupes/Regency Kennels Dodge followed by Kenny Kirsch, Jr., in his NAPA Legend Battery/Kirsch Automotive Chevrolet. Tim Shafer recovered to finish sixth in the G’s Pizza World-Double “S” Racing Chevy.

Late Model driver Jeff Burdette had to be proud. Both of his sons sat on the front row for the exciting 25-lap event. K.C. Burdette aboard the Freddie Carpenter C-4, numbered with a K.C. 44 for the evening's event got the jump on younger brother Colten. Colten held his own for several laps in second, but after a lap eleven caution waved for Ralph Withem, veteran Chris Garnes too over second on the restart. Garnes was up from seventh position in one of many strong charges.
Two laps later Chris Carpenter rocketed into the mix. Carpenter was up from 11th to third, and advancement of eight positions, a drive that allowed him to share hard-charger honors with Travis Brookover up from 18th to 11th. Scott Wolfe bagged Larry Bond and Jeff Burdette for sixth after a twelfth place start. That ignited a three-way battle for fourth between Roy Roush, Colten Burdette and Wolfe. Roush finally passed Burdette on the last lap for fourth. Bub Crum and Nick Corbitt had strong runs into the top ten, while Larry and Andy Bond fought hard for seventh.
No one however, could stop the high-flying K.C. Burdette. Garnes and Carpenter nipped at his heels, but Burdette was the class of the field on this night. Rounding out the top ten were Burdette, Garnes, Carpenter, Roy Roush, Colton Burdette, Scott Wolfe, Larry Bond, Nick Corbitt, Andy Bond, and Bub Crum.
In the exciting AMRA Modified main, Vince Conrad led flag to flag to make it a clean sweep after the young driver also won his heat. Conrad got the jump on veteran J.P. Roberts and blasted into the lead, first holding off Roberts then the craft Doug Henry. Jeremy Blake got by Roberts on lap five and made a bid at Henry. Conrad was unshakeable as he fended off competitors for the big Skyline win. Kenny Johnson, the AMRA point leader, blitzed from 12th to fourth, but his run ended their. Frank Roush was having a great night with Darin Roush just a couple positions back in eighth. Jason Armes, in a rare Skyline appearance, made his track time worth the effort as the Belle, WV driver blitzed from 15th to sixth.
Lots of passing took place througout the race, however, all eyes were on the top five positions. When it all panned out Conrad come home the winner ahead of Henry, Blake, Johnson and Roush. Jason Armes, J.P Roberts, Darren Roush, Toby Roush, and Curt Stacy rounded out the top ten. Armes was hard charger of the race.

Smith Takes OVSCA Main, Garnes Garners LM's

Johnson doubles in Mods, Wilson, Adkins, White, Staats win!

 Skyline Speedway Results  May 28, 2010  
STEWART, OHIO-The thunder roared and so did veteran Chillicothe, Ohio Danny Smith as the veteran outlaw driver claimed the Ohio Valley Sprint Car Association $3,000-to-win "Thunder Thirty" at Billy Jarrell's Skyline Speedway Friday night. In the Late
Model main Evans, WV driver Chris Garnes stormed from 11th to first in claiming the win, passing Chris Carpenter with two laps to go. Kenny Johnson claimed both ends of the Malta AMRA Modifieds, while Ryan Wilson (Pure Stocks), Tommy Adkins (4
Cylinders), and Abby White (Mini-Wedges) claimed the support features.
       In the OVSCA sprint main Hartford, Ohio's Dale Blaney took the initial lead with Josh Davis close in tow. Like a lion in wait, Davis stalked Blaney for the first 14 laps, then shortly after a restart Davis briefly took the lead. Another restart set the
stage for Danny Smith who overcame both Blaney and Davis on lap 16 and rode onward to victory.
Davis tried Smith on another restart, but Smith just had too much power driving off the turns in posting the win. Blaney exited on lap 20 with a flat tire, poising Cole Duncan, Keith Baxter, and Jim Nier for top ten finishes. Nier had charged from 11th to
5th in a great driver, while Baxter and Duncan sparred throughout the race. Rounding out the top ten were Smith, Davis, Duncan, Baxter, Nier, Brian Smith, Jimmy Stinson, Kory Crabtree, Dave Dickson, and Eddie Slone. Dickson was the race hard-charger in
a 17th to 9th place run.
       In the AMRA Late Models, young St. Albans, WV driver Nick Dohm got the jump on pole-sitter Chris Carpenter and
led the first 22-laps of an all green run. Dohm, the youngest of the Dohm siblings at 16, lost the handle on lap 23, setting up an exciting finish. Chris Carpenter inherited the lead and led the 23rd circuit, but Chris Garnes was on a charge. Picking off cars
throughout the race, Garnes finally blasted by as Carpenter and Audie Swartz fought it out for the top spot. Garnes got Carpenter the next circuit and blasted on to the win. Larry Bond and K.C. Burdette passed Scott Wolfe for
third and fourth on the 13th round. Freddie Carpenter had a top three wrapped up, but got into the wall on the 23rd circuit. Bond roared on to second place as Garnes, Bond, Carpenter, Andy Bond, KC Burdette, Roy Roush, Scott Wolfe, Dan Morrison, Tony
Roush, and Travis Brookover rounded out the top ten.
       Kenny Johnson was sizzling Friday night as he took both ends of the Malta AMRA modifieds, claiming the regular main after a battle with Doug Henry, Jason Montgomery, Kenny Riddle, and Robert Garnes. Johnson had earlier claimed the make-up
main from May 7th over Rick Venham, Robert Garnes, Jeremy Berwanger, Doug Henry, Mike McPherson, Jeremy Roush, Mark Luning, Jeremy Blake, Mike Sprouse, and Kurt Stacy.
In the night's regular main Johnson had the edge on the point, but the battle for second was a battle. Henry finally won the battle for second after a race-long fight with Jason Montgomery, and Robert Garnes. Robbie Evans and Rick Venham also had
good runs. Rounding out the top ten were Kenny Johnson, Doug Henry, Jason Montgomery, Robert Garnes, Robbie Evans, Rick Venham, Jeremy Roush, Kenny Riddle, Mark Luning, and Kurt Stacy.
       Ryan Wilson has been the king of the first half of the season. Wilson reigned once again Friday after a long battle with Rick VanDyne and Jeremy Blake. Rounding out the top ten were Wilson, VanDyne, Blake, Curt Reck, Gary Gould, Shane Roush, Jerrod Willis, Justin Sinnett, and George Klintworth.
       Tom Adkins reigned supreme once again in the FWD Four Cylinders. The Portland native blasted in the lead and never
looked back. Rounding out the top ten were Adkins, Chris Lauer, Brandon Davis, George Klintworth, Barry Kitts, Tyler Emmelhainz, Jeff Rankin, Tony Gilkey, Dean Wingrove, and Denzil Baker.
       Abby White won the mini-wedge main. Rounding out the top ten were Abby White, Tyler Evans, Coleman Evans, Cameron Roush, Samantha Roush, Darryl Murphy, Skylar Zimmerman, Nathan Carpenter, and Martin Gibson Jr.. Sydney Staats
won the blue clone mini wedge main in the following order: Sydney Staats, Hunter Cline, Corey Miller.

Skyline Speedway Results May 14,     Adkins Tribute

Dennis Adkins takes "Mini-20 Invite" Carpenter Claws "Castiron 50"

Nier Nixes Smith while Blake, T. Adkins, Wilson, Gibson win A's
By Scott Wolfe
STEWART, OHIO- South Parkersburg, WV driver and young gun Chris Carpenter claimed one of his biggest wins-ever in the "Cast-iron 50" $1,500-to-win steel block special, claiming the win in dominant fashion at Billy Jarrell's Skyline Speedway. Piketon, Ohio's Jimmy Nier outgunned Danny Smith for the OVSCA 410 sprint car A-main, while Portland, Ohio's Dennis Adkins claimed the "Mini'20" Invitational for Four Cylinders. Tommy Adkins won the make-up Four Cylinder main, Jeremy Blake won the AMRA Modified feature, and Ryan Wilson won the Pure Stocks.
It was a family affair for the Adkins family as the core group of second and third generation Adkins' turned out in honor of racing pioneer Gene Adkins. Friday was "Gene Adkins Tribute Night", honoring the long-ime champion of the 'Sixties thru Eighties'.
Dennis Adkins and Tommy Adkins both of Portland brought the field to the green flag and battled side by side until the first caution, while Gene (Jr.) 'Grumpy' Adkins held down the third spot of the Mini-20 paying $600 to win. By lap eight, cousins Dennis and Tommy Adkins pulled away from the rest of the field, while Jeremy Krouskopf battled Grumpy and Chris Lauer for third.
The third member of the Adkins linage finally broke away for third for a 1-2-3 Adkins shutout. (Ryan Adkins was also 6th) The Gene Adkins ceremony appropriately took place in victory lane after the race. "I want to dedicate this race to Uncle Gene," said Dennis Adkins. When asked what the key to the win was, "Something to win for and just plain 'hard driving'."
Rounding out the top ten were Dennis Adkins, Tommy Adkins, Grumpy Adkins, Chris Lauer, Jeff Rankin, Ryan Adkins, George Klintworth, Ryan Erskine, Barry Kitts,and Denzil Barker.
In the steel block Late Model "Cast-iron 50" 50-lap main, South Parkersburg's Chris Carpenter burst into the lead from his pole start and outraced Roy Roush and father Freddie Carpenter to the start-finish line. The father-son team of Jeff and K.C. Burdette lined up in fourth and fifth in stretching it out over Hall of Fame driver Rick Aukland of Zanesville.
By lap 20 K.C. Burdette began to work Freddie Carpenter for third as Chris Carpenter built up a half track lead by the halfway point. Nick Corbitt also had a good run into the top ten, but Aukland pressured him hard for position. On a lap 25 restart, Freddie Carpenter worked the low side by Roush and one lap later K.C. Burdette followed, dropping Roush to fourth.
Burdette bagged Carpenter on lap 32, while Chris Carpenter sailed to another half track advantage in dominant fashion. Jeff Burdette slowed on lap 40 and exited the event.
A lap 41 caution for Tony Roush set up a shoot-out to the finish. Freddie Carpenter took full advantage in getting the jump on Burdette for second spot. Burdette did not relinquish easy and regained second with three circuits to go.Chris Carpenter, K.C. Burdette, Freddie Carpenter, Roy Roush, Nick Corbitt, Tyler Carpenter, Rick Aukland, Bub Crum, Tony Roush,and Anthony Kincaid completed the top ten. Kincaid came from 17th to tenth for hard charger honors.
Said Carpenter in victory lane, "My car fell off the jackstands and busted the left rear (tire) right before the race. Dad and Tyler were already in their cars and I almost didn't make it out (of the pits), but Bub Crum and his crew helped me and put one of his tires on the car. All, I can say is THANKS!"
Danny Smith has been dominant in the Ohio Valley with four feature wins in the young season, however, Jimmy Nier did his best to end Smith's streak in the Ohio Valley Sprint Car Association A-Main. Nier low, Smith high--the duo battled side by side for the first ten laps, when a spinning Chris Myers brought out the first caution.
Smith and Nier continued the battle, but Nier got better grip on the inside groove and raced fearlessly through traffic to garner the win. Charlie Fisher and Kory Crabtree both advanced seven positions into the top ten, while Brian Benson and Eddie Miller had great runs. Jimmy Stinson blasted to third ahead of Crabtree, Fisher, and Benson.
Said Nier, "The key to this win was my crew (Gene Davis) and Billy Jarrell giving me a good car. All I had to do was drive it."
Rounding out the top ten were Jimmy Nier, Danny Smith, Kory Crabtree, Jimmy Stinson, Cole Duncan, Charlie Fisher, Brian Benson, Josh Davis, Wayne McPeek, and Eddie Miller.
In the AMRA Modified main, Jeremy Blake blasted into the early lead and spent much of the race holding off a pair of "ones" in Doug Henry and Kenny Johnson. Johnson took second on lap eight and began the chase for first. Blake held on for the big win ahead of Kenny Johnson, Doug Henry, Robert Garnes, Matt Holcomb,Vince Conrad, Mike McPherson, Jeremy Roush, Rick Venham, Mark Luning, and Joe Hammon.
In the pure stock A-main Ryan Wilson, Marietta pulled away from an early battle with Rick VanDyne and Jeremy Blake. Great racing highlighted the top ten positions, but Blake was best on this race day. The top ten funneled down to Wilson, Rick VanDyne, Jeremy Blake, Curt Reck, Jarrod Willis, Nick Ley, George Klintworth, Levi Woods, Justin Carpenter, Kenny Lilly, and Gary Gould.
Tommy Adkins led flag-to-flag in the Four Cylinder Make-up feature, olding off cousin Dennis Adkins and Chris Lauer in a torrid fight for second. Racine, Ohio driver Brandon Bowling made a late race charge to challenge Lauer for third, but settled for fourth at the finish. Rounding out the top ten were Tommy Adkins, Dennis Adkins, Chris Lauer, Brandon Bowling, Tyler Emmelhainz, George Klintworth, Ken Young, Terry Gilkey, Clint Carsey, and Ryan Donaldson.
After Will Holland broke early, Martin Gibson, Jr. blitzed the field for his first Skyline Mini-Wedge win ahead of Cameron Roush, Abby White, Samantha Roush, Skylar Zimmerman, and Will Holland.
Skyline Speedway continues action next Friday night with Family Night--A family of five (2 adults and up to 3 children get in for $20). For further information visit << www.skylinespeedway.net >> or call 304-539-4410 or the track phone at 740-662-4111.

Flyin' Ryan Wilson Pummels Pure Stock Invite
Chris Carpenter Claims second LM win! Smith takes 2nd OVSCA Sprint Win
Mods and 4 -Cyl succumb to Rain, Holland takes Mini's

STEWART, OHIO-Rocket Man Chris Carpenter, South Parkersburg ran down early leader Chris Garnes on the 14th lap and went on to claim the 25 lap AMRA Late Model main at Billy Jarrell's Skyline Speedway. Danny Smith, Chillicothe, Ohio claimed his second Ohio Valley Sprint Car Association win over Jimmy Nier, while Ryan Wilson. Marietta, Ohio claimed perhaps the biggest win of his career in the $800 to win "V-8 Classic" Pure Stock Invitation. Torrential rains wiped out the AMRA modified and FWD Four Cylinder features.
The Four-Cylinders will run double features May 14, while the AMRA Modifieds will run double-features May 21. Next week will be the "Mini-Sizzler" $600 to win feature for FWD Four Cylinders and the make up feature along with Armed Forces Night (Veterans $5 with ID card), the Steel Block LM Spring Sizzler 50, and all regular classes except Super Late Models. No Late Models May 14. The race will also be a "Gene Adkins Tribute" night for the Portland, Ohio driver.
A strong field of cars turned out for the Pure Stock Invitational. Ryan Wilson was 'fast and furious', not that he expressed any road-rage, but his aggressively smooth driving style of attack brought home his biggest feature win. Wilson pulled Blake on the start, but Blake held close for several laps, before Murphy challenged for second. Wilson gained some breathing room
Behind Wilson, were Blake, Murphy, Robbie McCullough, Rick VanDyne, Jeff Fordyce, Barry Brisker, Levi Woods, Gary Gould, Mike Wolford. Robbie McCullough was the hard-charger of the race with a 15th to 4th place run. The charge was one of the best of the evening. Todd Fordyce also had a great 17th to 7th run, advancing ten positions. Also Rick Vandyne recovered from an early spin, kept the car rolling and blitzed to fifth place.
A pre-Midnight rain slowed the action at Skyline Speedway Friday night, relatively speaking. When the track was run in for the Sprint and Late Model features it was lightening fast. After about an hour-ten minute delay the sprint cars hit the track where Danny Smith, the former Danville, IN ace blitzed the field in high flying fashion.
On the first lap, up-and-coming rookie driver Andre Layfield clipped another car, jumped the cushion and went headlong into the concrete fence. The impact initiated a series of three roll-overs and inducted the uninjured Layfield into the "roll-over club." The race resumed as Smith got the jump on Dave Dickson who stuck with Smith for a few laps. Dickson held second to lap nine as Smith pulled away. Jimmy Nier took over second from a 8th place start and tried to reel in Smith.
Smith was again the master of the 3/8 mile red clay oval, blitzing to his second OVSCA win in the last 3 weeks.
Roudning out the top ten were Smith, Nier, Jimmy Stinson, Aaron Higgins, Dave Dickson , Mitchell Harble, Kory Crabtree, Charlie Fisher, Josh Davis, and Eddie Slone. Aaron Higgins was hard charger of the race with a 16th to 4th place run.
In the Late Model main Chris Carpenter, South Parkersburg ran down early leader Chris Garnes on the 14th lap and went on to claim the 25 lap AMRA Late Model main over yet another star studded field. Garnes got the jump on outside pole sitter Travis Brooker as the latter filed into second until Carpenter took the runner-up slot on lap five. Larry Bond had yet another great run to third, but the main action saw 12th place starter Freddie Carpenter charger from 12th to 4th place.
If Carpenter's wall glazing charge wasn't enough K.C. Burdette burst from 15th to 6th to claim Hard Charger honors in another great run. Veteran Audie Swartz, the 2009 Champ, held steady for a solid top five while Dan Morrison, Nic Corbitt, and Roy Roush battled hard for top ten finishes. Rounding out the top ten were Carpenter, Chris Garnes, Larry Bond, Freddie Carpenter, Swartz, Burdette, Brookover, Morrison, Corbitt, and Roy Roush.
Will Holland claimed the Mini-wedge main over Jason Gillian. Rounding out the top ten were behind Holland and Gillian were Coleman Evans, Cameron Roush, Abby White, Martin Gibson Jr., Samantha Roush, and Darryl Murphy.

McGuire Strikes in Thunder Forty
Duncan OVSCA Sprint Victor
Support wins to Brisker, Blake, Adkins, Gibson

Skyline Speedway Results April 30  
By Scott Wolfe
STEWART, OHIO-Grayson, Kentucky's Josh McGuire blitzed the field in the 'Thunder Forty' for AMRA Late Models Friday night at Billy Jarrell's Skyline Speedway. Grove City, Ohio driver Cole Duncan won the Ohio Valley Sprint Car Association 410 sprint main, while Jeremy Blake claimed the AMRA modifieds, Barry Brisker took the Pure Stocks, and Tommy Adkins claimed the Four Cylinders. 119 cars flooded the pits for the sizzling night of competition, while one of the largest Skyline crowds in years came out for the evening's festivities.
      The 'Thunder Forty' Late Model Invitational for AMRA Late Models saw Grayson, KY driver Josh McGuire claim the $2,000 paycheck over another hard-charger, Chris Garnes of Evans, WV. The 40-lap affair had just one caution, a lap-20 ride into the uke tires by young Nick Dohm as McGuire dominated all stages of the event.
      While McGuire, Garnes, Carpenter, and Jeff Burdette battled it out early, K.C. Burdette and Larry Bond were pushing hard through the field. Burdette came from 12th to third at the finish, while Bond, the hard charger, blasted from 14th to fourth and a dramatic Bond-like effort. But early on Garnes, Carpenter, Jeff Burdette, and Freddie Carpenter plundered for position.
      McGuire was straight and fast on the 3/8 mile bullring that took rubber as the race progressed, tightening up the chassis on many of the competitors. Thus, several grooves developed on the rubber clad surface. McGuire adjusted best in leading flag to flag for his 9th Skyline feature win.
South Parkersburg driver Chris Carpenter, last week's winner, was a strong fourth ahead of Dad 'Fast Freddie Carpeter, Jeff Burdette, Cory Conley, Tony Roush, and Dan Morrison.
      McGuire said, "It's a new car and I knew this was the place to shake it down. I love Skyline and ole C.J. knows best (of his C.J. Rayburn Chassis). The car was great all through the race."
"I needed a win. Now, I can eat Peanut Butter and Jelly instead of crackers," the veteran laughed.
      Youngster Cole Duncan, Grove City, Ohio drove like a veteran in claiming the second-ever OVSCA 25-lap feature over last week's winner Danny Smith. By the halfway mark, Duncan had run into lapped traffic, where he did a superb job of distancing himself from the field.
      On lap 16, veteran Greg Mitchell clipped the turn three tires and did a few endo's before landing upright. The caution bunched up the field, putting lapped cars to the end of the pack for a 9-lap shoot-out to the finish. Josh Davis, OVSCA frontrunner, got a great jump and challenged Smith for second, perhaps giving Duncan the break he needed to outrun Smith to the checkered.
      In the last half of race fourth place Aaron Higgins advanced five spots as did teammate Jimmy Stinson, putting two Billy Jarrell cars in the top five. Higgins edged Davis out for third, while Kory Crabtree, Andre Layfield, and Sam Ashworth all put on a great show to finish in the top ten. Behind winning Duncan were Smith, Higgins, Davis, Stinson, Crabtree, Layfield, Ashworth and a hard charging Brian Benson. Higgins made it his second week in a row on leave from his NASCAR Modified stint in California.
      Duncan, the Grove City High School senior said, "It's our first win of the season. We like what the series (OVSCA) is doing, but we are going to also hit some other big races across the area. Tonight, I knew if I could hit my spots and hold my line on the bottom, I would be ok. I tried to save the tires under the yellow, and have some rubber under me at the end. I think that made the difference."
      Jeremy Blake, Guysville, Ohio, calls it a "soft right foot", but his driving ability is equally impressive as Blake battled last week's winner Rick Venham, Jr. of Marietta. Blake survived several yellows in claiming the 20-lap Malta AMRA modified main event.
Blake stretched it out over second place Venham late in the race as Mike McPherson and Virginia driver Russell Erwin diced it out for position. Garnes began to close the gap on Venham, but Blake had nothing but clear sailing out in front of the pack at the end.
      Jeremy Blake roared on for the win while Venham, Robert Garnes, Mike McPherson, Russell Erwin, Cliff Crank, Thomas Sigler, Dusty Boley, Jeremy Roush, and Jeremy Berwanger rounded out the top ten.
      Barry Brisker went from "Zero" to "Hero" in a hurry. Brisker looped it on the first lap and went to the tail of the 19 car field. With two laps to go, Brisker took over leader Jeff Fornash and Rick VanDyne followed in tow. Briskers hard-charger award stemmed from his run from last to first, sparking announcer Bruce Hines to cite Brisker's bottom run as a "bottom feeder on steroids."
      Prior to the race-winning pass, Fornash had anchored the lead with Brisker and VanDyne battling sometimes 3-wide. Another top runner, Ryan Wilson the season opening winner exited with a flat tire. Brisker made the pass and went on to the 15-lap win over VanDyne, Jeff Fornash, Jeremy Blake, Levi Woods, Shane Roush, Gary Gould, George Klintworth, Kenny Lilly, and Richard Wilson.
     In the Four Cylinder main Portland's Tommy Adkins made it two-for-two over Chris Lauer, renewing a rivalry from year's past. Both drivers, at the top of their games, continue to put on a show while Tyler Emmelhainz, Adkins' cousin (Racing legend Gene Adkins' grandson), anchored a strong third. At the finish they came across the line in that order ahead of George Klintworth and Donnie Bartlett.
      Jeff Rankins early success resulted in a citation to the tail, where he ran out of time to recover for a top ten. Rounding out the top ten were Adkins, Lauer, Emmelhainz, George Klintworth, Donnie Bartlett, Brandon Bowling, Terry Gilkey, Keith Marlow, Jonathan Arnold, and Dean Wingrove.
      Skyline will have an $800 to win Pure Stock Invitational and Mother's Day Festivities next Friday May 7, where the Speedway will honor cancer survivors as part of Breast Cancer Awareness Night. May 14 will be a Tribute to Gene Adkins and a Four Cylinder $600 to win Invitational. All out of town drivers, especially next week's Pure Stock Invitation particpants are asked to review the rules before participation.
Skyline Speedway continues action next Friday night. For further information visit << www.skylinespeedway.net >> or call 304-539-4410 or the track phone at 740-662-4111. For information on the OVSCA series call 304-542-8322.

Skyline Speedway Results

Smith, Chris Carpenter, Venham, Wilson, Adkins claim wins!

Skyline Speedway Results 4/23/2010

Danny Smith and Chris Carpenter Claim "Twin 30's", Smith 1st-ever OVSCA Victor
Venham, Wilson, and Adkins Take Support Features
By Scott Wolfe
STEWART, OHIO-The skies were stormy, but the "Thunder and Lightening" came from the on-track fireworks where Chillicothe, Ohio's Danny Smith blitzed the field to become the first-ever Ohio Valley Sprint Car Association winner and Chris Carpenter, South Parkersburg, WV claimed the second half of "Twin 30's" in the Late Model "Spring Thaw" 30-lap feature at Billy Jarrell's Skyline Speedway Friday night. Marietta's Rick Venham, Jr. claimed a narrow win over Kenny Johnson in the AMRA Modifieds, Flyin' Ryan Wilson (Marietta, OH) took the Pure Stock win and Portland's Tommy Adkins claimed the Four Cylinder main.
Threatening skies did not keep away a large crowd and large field of cars. Racing was run off without a hitch including the last 77 laps of feature racing which all green flag racing and sent the crowd home at 11:05 when Adkins pulled into victory lane for the final feature.
The track was in great shape as both the OVSCA sprints and late models closed in on the respective track records. Smith set fast time in the sprints with an 11:08 clocking or average speed of 127 miles per hour. Heat races produced excellent side-by-side, flat-foot racing as the middle groove remained tacky much of the evening on the Skyline high-banks.
One of the original World of Outlaws, veteran Danny Smith, formerly of Danville, Indiana proved to be the class of the field as he blitzed to the inaugural Ohio Valley Sprint Car Association main event. The history-making run saw Smith out-gun his nearest rival, Chillicothe, Ohio driver Josh Davis who challenged early and on the restart, but was no match for Smith. Still Davis maintained a great run to earn a solid second.
Smith lapped every car in the 17-car field up to sixth place Andre Layfield, the rookie sensation who just moved up to the powerful 410's after a successful modified career. The 30-lapper, paying $1,500 to win was run with only two cautions. While Smith was blasting off into a zone of his own with Davis locked into his sights, the rest of the pack was left to grapple for position. Vandalia's Jimmy Stinson, Kory Crabtree, and Aaron Higgins all battled hard for a top five. Higgins was in from California on an off weekend from the NASCAR West Modified series he is participating in. Higgins was in the Billy Jarrell #51, a team car to Stinson's #84 and premier engine builder Charlie Fisher's #22.
Andrea Layfield was the hard charger of the race with intense pressure from Dave Dickson and Brandy Bower for that top honor. Rounding out the top ten were Danny Smith, Josh Davis, Jim Stinson, Kory Crabtree, Aaron Higgins, Andre Layfield, Dave Dickson, Brandy Bower, Charlie Fisher, and Brian Benson.
Said Smith in victory lane, "It's an honor to win the first race in this deal. I'd like to run the series, but actually I'm just taking it one week at a time. The track was very good, especially for the first night out. The car was right and I was able to run just about anywhere on the track."
The Hoosier/Hoosier Ohio Valley series met with great success with more members expected to join and several other cars damaged last week expected to join the series in the following weeks.
From start to finish, three-wide racing highlighted the $1,500-to-win, 30-lap late model main as Chris Carpenter got the jump on pole-sitter Chris Garnes and runner up Jason Montgomery. Audie Swartz, last year's champ, moved into the fray as Carpenter, Garnes and Swartz went three wide, until Swartz moved into second on lap five and took over the top spot on lap six.
Leading laps 6 through 10, Swartz led a three-car Carpenter/Montgomery battle. Carpenter regained the lead on lap 11 when Zack Dohm scuffled with Montgomery for fourth as Garnes shuffled back to sixth. Young Dohm and veteran Swartz battled for second right behind Carpenter in the green-to-checkered battle. On lap 26 Dohm rooted out Swartz for second and now a Carpenter, Dohm, Swartz freight train chugged hard to the finish line.
Rounding out the top ten were Chris Carpenter, Zach Dohm, Audie Swartz, Chris Games, Jason Montgomery, Greg Oliver, KC Burdette, Travis Brookover, Dan Morrison, and Larry Bond. Burdette was hard charger coming from 17th to 7th, while Scott Wolfe came from 16th to 11th.
Said Carpenter of his first Skyline LM win, "Awesome, Awesome, Awesome! I thought Audie was on me the whole way and knew I had to be my best. Come to find out at last it was Zach (Dohm). Thanks to Dad (Freddie), Rocket, Protech, and Truetech and everyone for their support."
When Kenny Johnson is in town, fans know there will be some excitement. Rick Venham, Jr. was none-the-less exciting himself in posting a six-inch win over Johnson at the finish in the Malta AMRA Modifieds. Venham had to be his best and was in what proved to be another green-to-checkered run without a caution.
Venham said, "It's great to get a win, especially when it's this close."
Added Johnson, "This was a good race for the win and a good win for Rick. He raced me clean and deserved the win."
Unretired veteran and former AMRA champ Doug Henry battled hard with Johnson early, then worked hard in holding off challenges from Robert Garnes, Fireball Pinkerton, and Jason Montgomery. A strong field of cars saw Mike McPherson, Jeremy Blake, Matt Holcomb, and Vince Conrad, usually top five cars battling hard for a top ten.
Rounding out the top ten were Rick Venham, Kenny Johnson, Doug Henry, Robert Garnes, Dave Pinkerton, Jason Montgomery, Mike McPherson, Jeremy Blake, Matt Holcomb, and I-77 winner Vince Conrad.
Flyin' Ryan Wilson claimed the 15-lap Pure Stock feature, picking up where he left off last year in his immaculate #00. The Marietta driver held off charges from Rick VanDyne for much of the race before pulling away for the easy win at the end. Reck, Blake, and Brisker all battle hard for position in solid top five runs. Rounding out the top ten were Ryan Wilson, Rick VanDyne, Curt Reck, Jeremy Blake, Barry Brisker, George Klintworth, Levi Woods, Ben Ayers, Perry Snyder, and Kenny Lilly.
Tommy Adkins moved back into his hometown of Portland after a year in Wisconsin. The homecoming was a good one as the former 4-cyl champ put his new mount in victory lane over George Klintworth and Tuppers Plains' Jeff Rankin. While Adkins controlled the gait up front Klintworth, Jeff Rankin, Chris Lauer, Dana Gilkey, Keith Marlow, and Tyler Emmelhainz (Gene Adkins grandson) battled hard for position.
Rounding out the top ten in this exciting division were Adkins, George Klintworth, Jeff Rankin, Chris Lauer, Dana Gilkey, Keith Marlow, Tyler Emmelhainz, Bobby Dennison, Scott Neal, John Rankin, and Barry Kitts.
Skyline Speedway continues action next Friday night with a $2000 to win , 200 to start Late Model Special. For further information visit << www.skylinespeedway.net >> or call 304-539-4410 or the track phone at 740-662-4111.

AMRA to Sanction Skyline Late Models
Joins already established AMRA Modified sanction
By Scott Wolfe

MT. ALTO, WV.-AMRA president Larry Keefer and Skyline Speedway promoter Billy Jarrell have once again joined forces in announcing that Skyline Speedway will be sanctioned by the AMRA Late Model series. The announcement further establishes the growth of the AMRA in the sanctioning of the full bodied stock cars which began last season with Tyler Mountain, WV driver Harold Redman, Jr. picking up the inaugural crown.
      Skyline Speedway has long been a supporter of the AMRA's Modified division, now establishing itself as a supporter of the AMRA Late Models. Skyline Speedway races six divisions weekly as 410 sprint cars, Pure Stocks, Four Cylinders and mini-wedges comprise the Friday night racing card.
      Said Jarrell, "This gives our local drivers a greater chance at earning AMRA National points and thus gives them a chance to earn valuable points' money from AMRA. If it is good for our drivers, then it is also good for Skyline Speedway. Our late model drivers and owners have been extremely supportive of Skyline and a majority of the teams felt this was the thing to do."
     "I am extremely pleased that Skyline has come aboard in the late model division," said Larry Keefer. "We want to expand the late model division to the prestige of the modified division. The AMRA is strong in the fact it is a sanction comprised of the drivers and owners and for the drivers and owners. Many sponsors and track owners have stepped up to the plate in helping this venture grow. Once again, it is a win-win situation for all involved."
      Skyline joins Beckley Motor Speedway, K-C Raceway, Ohio Valley Speedway, Tyler County Speedway, and I-77 Motorsports Park as tracks that sanction both AMRA divisions. Modified tracks include Rocky Top, Skyline Speedway, Elkins Speedway, I-77 Motorsports Park, Eastside Speedway, Potomac Speedway, Beckley Motor Speedway, K-C Raceway, Charleston Speedway, Ohio Valley Speedway, and Tyler County Speedway.
      The AMRA has announced an explanation of awarded points. Only the best 20 AMRA finishes will count in the National point’s championship. Drivers can receive AMRA points at any of the AMRA sanctioned tracks. The driver will take his best twenty weeks. To earn points, a driver must be a member of the AMRA.
      In order to race an AMRA event, drivers must have a temporary ($15) license or a full membership. After four temporary permits are issued a driver becomes an AMRA member and can start earning points. With an initial full membership ($45) a member begins earning points immediately.
      In addition to AMRA points drivers also can take advantage of individual track point funds. Skyline will award a new chassis to its modified and late model points champion in 2010.
Skyline has also expanded its outreach to fans and drivers with a Facebook page, which will announce updates along with the Skyline website.
      For further information visit << www.skylinespeedway.net >> or call 304-539-4410 or the track phone at 740-662-4111. Malta Doors and Windows was the Modified Title Sponsor for 2009. Together Malta and AMRA continue to grow. Fans can benefit from this union as Malta Windows and Doors will offer a 10% discount to any order when mentioning the Malta AMRA modified series to the dealer nearest you.

Tentative Opening Day April 2

Skyline Speedway in Stewart, Ohio is a 3/8 mile high-banked red clay oval nestled deep in the foothills of Southern Ohio between the cities of Athens and Coolville on State Route 50 (The Appalachian Highway). Skyline, now under the new ownership of Billy Jarrell, is expected to see many physical improvements over the next several years. One thing that will not change, however, is the exciting, close racing that takes place every Friday night between late March and early October--even longer if the weather permits.

.....Skyline Speedway features regular Friday night racing in six exciting classes of cars: 410 Super Sprints (Outlaw style), Late Models, Modifieds, Pure Stocks, Fwd Four cylinders, and mini-wedges. No matter what class they run in, Skyline Speedway drivers are the best at what they do. Whether it be as a hobby or racing professionally, drivers are always committed to putting on a show as is the Skyline Speedway staff .

....Throughout the racing season Skyline will host numerous special events featuring some of the nation's top sanctioning bodies. Skyine has played host to the IRS Late Models, The All-Star Circuit of Champions, MACS, AMRA, and many other racing clubs.

Congratulations to our Champions. Drivers, Owners, & Fans.Thank You for Racing at Skyline Speedway.

Skyline honors champs for 2009
By Scott Wolfe
MARIETTA, OHIO- Skyline Speedway owner Billy Jarrell dispensed over $10,000 in points money and contingencies Friday, November 20 with the first banquet and awards’ ceremony since Jarrell took ownership. The fete took place at the Marietta Brewing Company in downtown Marietta, where over 250 racers, owners, and fans came out for what was a free meal compliments of Skyline Speedway.
The top five in each of the five adult racing divisions were honored with trophies compliments of C & S Racing Photos and Billy Jarrell. The five trophies were dedicated in memory of Jack Shutts, longtime Skyline employee, and Hilton “Big Fooze” Wolfe, a former racer and longtime car-owner.
Bruce Hines, Skyline announcer, served as Master of Ceremonies. After a fine meal, Jarrell thanked his track employees for making 2009 a successful racing season despite the poor economy. Katie Dickson was praised for putting the banquet together and arranging for numerous door prizes.
Dave Poske of Poske’s Performance Parts thanked racers for their support and thanked Jarrell for keeping racing “alive and well” in Southern, Ohio. Poske also recognized Todd Frey of Hoosier Ohio Valley. Also, on hand were Rick Susong of Fisher Performance and engine Builder Charlie Fisher.

McGuire, Wilson, Stotts, Adkins

Take Finals of Harvest 50 weekend   
 
STEWART, OHIO-A big weekend of racing concluding with the 26th running of the Harvest 50 Sunday, Oct 11 at Billy Jarrell's Skyline Speedway where Josh McGuire claimed the 2009 crown and $1,000 bonus for winning the night before. The two days earned McGuire $7,500 for the win, his second consecutive Harvest victory. Benton Ridge, Ohio driver and former All-Star Champ Greg Wilson claimed the 1st annual Thrasher 30 for 410 sprint cars, while Chris Stotts claimed the Malta AMRA Road Warrior Tour season-ending event. Dennis Adkins, Portland, Ohio won the "Pea Picker 30" in the four-cylinders. The night's racing activities were dedicated to the late Hilton Wolfe, Jr. as a memorial tribute.
On a track that was about 2.3 seconds slower from the night before, Josh McGuire figured out the best set-up. His Kuntz Engines/C.J. Rayburn Racecars #41 pulled off the hat trick for the second magical night in a row.
Slower times didn't mean any less of a racy track. For 36 laps Rob Blair, Titusville, PA, Showtime Steve Shaver, Parkersburg, WV; and McGuire of Grayson, KY dueled side-by-side swapping positions with primetime regularity.
Blair led the first eleven rounds in a green-to-checkered run, which saw Shaver blow by to lead the next fifteen circuits with Blair and McGuire on either side. McGuire worked the track and Shaver for a lap 29 pass as Shaver bobbled just enough for a brief piece of second to Blair.
Shaver recovered as he and McGuire started to edge away from Blair. Shaver retook the lead on lap 31, relinquished it back to McGuire on 33, then led one more turn by just inches on lap 34.
The slicing and dicing all the while took its toll on the high-energy battle. Shaver tried McGuire on the outside the next two circuits then on lap 37 had something break on his suspension.
From then on it was a McGuire cakewalk to the finish with Blair a distant, but noteworthy second. The hard charger of the race was Zach Dohm, Cross Lanes, WV who zoomed from 18th to third after claiming a B-main win. Freddie Carpenter, Jason Montgomery, Tyler Carpenter, and Chris Carpenter swept by Tim Dohm and Doug Drown, then engaged in a bitter battle for position. When it all shook out, it was McGuire, Blair, Zach Dohm, Freddie Carpenter, Jason Montgomery, Tyler Carpenter, Chris Carpenter, Tim Dohm, Doug Drown, and Andy Bond.
"I was just hoping 'no cautions'. We set the car up a little loose and knew it would tighten up if I got some heat in the tires," said McGuire. Steve and I and Robbie had a great thing going there for a while. I'm glad to get the win. Somehow we always manage to find a way to win here, but winning tonight is a big deal for us."
Said second place Blair "We had a good set up but not a great one. Josh and I got together, and the car just didn't turn as well after that. I probably knocked it out of tow just a little, but we like this track and are glad to come home second."
Saturday night's 410 winner Brandon Wimmer was chugging toward a transfer after posting a poor qualifying time that included a 360 in time trials. The Fairmount, IN driver lost out on the sprint car bonus after taking a wild end-over-end ride in turn four of his heat shortly after making a transfer from a tail start.
At the start of the sprint main--the first Thrasher 30-- Aaron Higgins, Waverly, OH bolted into the lead over outside pole sitter Dale Blaney. It too was a great race early, as Blaney closed in on Higgins only to have a lap seven caution. On the restart Higgins again edged away, but was quick to catch lapped traffic. Blaney again blasted around for a brief lead only to have Higgins shut the door. A couple laps unfolded in this nip-and-tuck style, then as both the leaders slowed in traffic eventual winner Greg Wilson put the trio three wide in turn two.
Wilson won the drag race into three and from there on was off to the races. Higgins held second, but Mike Linder shuffled Blaney back to fourth. Blaney came on a midway to bag Linder for second as Higgins saw his tires go away. Rob Chaney and Jimmy Stinson had good late-race runs as Wilson roared on to victory over Blaney, Linder, Chaney, Stinson, Higgins, Danny Smith, Cale Conley, Dave Dickson, and Cole Duncan.
"I felt the car getting some grip at the bottom and knew that if we got by Dale we had a pretty good shot at the win," said Wilson. "I am glad you made the sprint cars a part of this show. It's good to be able to come down here and get the win for the fans."
The hard charger of the race was Cale Conley who came from last to eighth.
The MALTA AMRA Nationals saw Albany, Ohio driver Chirs Stotts put the Carthage/Hovis Engines/Pierce Chassis on the pole for a flag-to-flag win. Stotts earlier picked up the AMRA Road Warrior Tour win July 3, then chalked up Sunday's victory which determined the final points champion for the Road Warrior Tour. Early calculations show that Doug Henry, Beverly, OH brought home the crown. Jeremy Berwanger was both the Skyline Speedway champ and the AMRA National Champion.
Chris Stotts noted, "The track locked down and the car just really took off. I was hoping the tires wouldn't seal over, but we were able to keep the heat in the tires on the cautions and hold on. I could hear someone back there the last part of the race, so I was really glad to see the checkered wave."
The best race for position behind the dominate Stotts was among Andy Bond, Rob Stambaugh, and Kenny Johnson. That triumvirate diced it up for position-swaps throughout the race. Joe Cox and Del Cunningham shared the hard charger of the race award, each picking up ten positions.
Behind second place Bond were Rob Stambaugh, Kenny Johnson, Dave Defibaugh, Mike McPherson, Del Cunningham, Dusty Boley, Will Rowe, and Joe Cox.
The "Pea Picker 30 for Four Cylinders started out with a wild melee and hard barrel role by Shawn McClain. The race was an all-Adkins family affair after Tommy Adkins bagged Tony Plaugher for third. Dennis Adkins then separated himself from the field over cousin Grumpy Adkins just in time for Tommy A. to take third. Grumpy closed the gap in the last few laps, but couldn't get a run on his fleet-footed kin Dennis.
The race of the night was between Tommy Adkins and Andy Parks who battled the last 12 laps in door rubbing fashion. Rounding out the top ten behind the Adkins trio were Andy Parks, Tony Plaugher, David Banks, Jeff Rankin, C.J. Crossan, George Klintworth, and Joe Adams. Jeff Rankin was the hard charger of the race in a 17th to 7th run.
Skyline Speedway will race every Friday night next season, but most likely has closed for the 2009 campaign.

McGuire, Wimmer, Sayre take Night One of Harvest 50 weekend  
Skyline Speedway Results Saturday, Oct. 10
By Scott Wolfe
STEWART, OHIO-When Brandon Wimmer and Josh McGuire nearly eclipsed their respective track records, fans and the competition knew it was going to be a barnstorming night at Billy Jarrell's Skyline Speedway. The track was superfast from the Friday rains. Ironically, both Wimmer in the 410 sprints and McGuire in the Late Models won their respective features in high-flying style. Rod Sayre held off Kenny Johnson by a nose in the super-exciting Malta AMRA Modified main. All three drivers will be eligible for a $1,000 bonus should they win today, Sunday, OCt 11 on the Skyline high-banks.
In the lightning-fast sprint races, Jimmy Nier claimed the fast-car dash that included cars for the All-Stars and the World of Outlaws. Th dash was run in just two-tenths over a minute. Greg Mitchell and Alec Martin were flip victims, but were able to make repairs for the B-Main.
Jimmy Nier led the first four laps with Danny Smith and Wimmer at his side. FAST Champ Craig Mintz caught a competitors wheel in turn four and flipped a couple times, while at the same time Dale Blaney caught the wheel of a slowing car and rolled in turn four. Both drivers were uninjured. Nier led another marker until Wimmer broke loose from the 3-way battle and bolted into the lead. Wimmer in the Rick Ferkel #0 J&J/Griff's Engines care went on to a blistering victory in lapping all, but the top six cars.
"The track was as good as you could get it after all of this rain," said Wimmer. "It was really choppy in turns one and two. I just had to use the only trick in my book to keep going, just 'Cowboy up'."
"I'd like to thank Rick and Cathy Ferkel for a chance in their car for this 1st visit to Skyline. I just tried to keep a straight line straight as the key to getting through the traffic. Thanks to Skyline and the staff for getting this race in tonight."
No passing at Skyline? No one told young Cole Duncan. Duncan, who had a hot-lap miscue and a near-miss in his heat was on a crusade as he charged from 16th to fourth to earn-heard charger honors and put on a show for the fans. Behind Wimmer were Danny Smith, Jim Nier, Cole Duncan, Jack Sodeman Jr, Mark Keegan, Wes McGlumphy, Dallas Hewitt, Aaron Higgins, and B-Main winner Brian Benson.
The late model feature and set-up race for the Harvest 50 was a barnerburner early, and a sleeper in the later stages. McGuire in the McGuire Speedshop Rayburn #41 jumped into an early lead of two laps, then Showtime Steve Shaver put it on the high-side, and blitzed by to lead the next two circuits. All the while Greg Oliver, the Jackson Ironman, slipped by McGuire for second. McGuire recovered and out of nowhere picked off Oliver on one end of the track and made Shaver his victim a lap later.
Shaver later fell out of the race with a broken suspension, but by this time all eyes were on the high-flying Chris Garnes who blasted from 14th to second before the race was done. For a time it seem like Garnes could pull off the upset, but either his tires faded or the track went away in his up-high line. Garnes was the race hard charger.
Doug Drown, Wooster, Ohio came from 10th in the Malcuit House car #79 to finish third ahead of Harold Redman, the 2009 AMRA LM Champion. Redman held Drown off for third for some time, then engaged in a race-long battle with Larry Bond and Roy Roush in a 3-way tilt for fourth. Behind McGuire were Garnes, Doug Drown, Harold Redman Jr, Larry Bond, Roy Roush, Ralph Withem, Travis Brookover, Nick Corbitt, and Mike McDaniel. Brookover made some big strides in coming from the back to a top ten.
Said McGuire shouting, "Rayburn Racing does it Rough!"
"After all the times I've run here, I've figured out you have to run it low, no matter what the track conditions. The cautions gave me a chance to rest. Tonight was a night you had to stand up on the wheel and drive. It was taken it's toll. My only concern was running through the rough to battle the lapped traffic, but I knew what the car had to do it. Really, I'd never thought we could have raced tonight. Getting the track in shape was a huge accomplishment for the track crew."
Rod Sayre, Parkersburg, WV is a great driver, no doubt, but a little push of the divine nature may have made the difference Saturday night when the hot-shoe claimed his third MALTA AMRA main of the year. Sayre was running away from the field until a lap six caution. With the field bunched up the complexion of the race changed completely. Kenny Johnson shot high out of 5th to third, nearly bagging second place Jeremy Blake. Upon the turn four exit, Blake blasted by Sayre to lead for two laps when his machine began to belch some smoke. Sayre retook the lead as the three-cars made a Stealth Tri-angle of wheel-to-wheel action.
Suddenly, Blake made a sharp right to the pits, directly in front of a full-throttled Johnson. Johnson took evasive action, but J.P. Roberts filled the void and nearly got by Sayre on the inside of one.
Four laps later Johnson took over second and the last five laps was a Tri-way sprint to the finish with Johnson dogging Sayre every step of the way. Johnson led briefly on lap 18, but scrubbed off just enough speed in turn two to hinder his chances of a win. Still, he fought back on the high side of the pushing Sayre as Sayre won by no more that inches at the finish.
"I'd like to thank God for getting us here to victory lane and for a great race car," said Sayre. "About half way I had trouble turning the car, but I made up my mind I was gonna win or jump the fence trying. Tonight is the hardest I have ever run, Kenny really pushed me to the limit. We had to battle not only the other cars, but the track conditions. I'm practically exhausted."

Shaver Shows’em at Harvest Prelim

Evans Earns AMRA National Win/Wilson wallops Pure Stocks
Adkins takes Four-Cylinders and Ron Pickens Mini-Wedge winner
Skyline Speedway Results 9-19-09
By Scott Wolfe
STEWART, OHIO-When it's "Show Time" Steve Shaver (Parkersburg, WV) has on his game face, and Saturday night Showtime Shaver was all Smiles after winning the 30-lap $3,000-to-win feature during opening night festivities before a large crowd at Skyline Speedway's Harvest 50 weekend. The Malta AMRA Road Warrior Tour Nationals kicked off the weekend with veteran Robbie Evans making the sweep and picking up the $1,000 pay check for round one. Straight in from his new home in Milwaukee, Wisconsin former area driver Tommy Adkins blasted the Four Cylinder feature, while Ryan Wilson picked up his 8th Skyline Speedway Pure Stock main and sealed the 2009 points championship.
There were a couple dominating heat events, but several preliminaries brought the crowd to life with down-to-the wire finishes. The evening's racing activities and weekend was a "Memorial Tribute to Hilton "Big Fooze" Wolfe, Jr. a former driver/owner/fan who passed away July 29. When asked what the key to victory was the amicable Shaver replied, "It was easy. Fooze was with me every step of the way, all I had to do was hang on and enjoy the ride. This win is for him." Shaver completed the clean sweep with a fast time, heat win, and feature win. Cars from six different states competed in all divisions of the program.
Early in it was apparent that the main battle was between Josh McGuire and Shaver, the past three winners of the Harvest 50. Shaver jumped into the lead briefly at the start, then McGuire filled the void and led the next 14 circuits. McGuire, Grayson, KY had actually stretched out a six car-length lead until Shaver's tires kicked in and he began to reel in the speedy Kentuckian. Laps 9-14 saw Shaver and McGuire battle ferociously, until finally Shaver made a daring pass for the lead.
Zach Dohm got into the hunt over the second half of the race as he and McGuire battled for second. By midway points' leader Audie Swartz made it a four-car race. Once in a comfortable lead to lap 19, Shaver found himself in heavy traffic. Dohm and McGuire closed the gap and a wild-west shoot out for number one unfolded on the shuttered streets of Skyline.
Shaver made several great moves in traffic, however, he couldn't shake his pursuers. Several times Mcguire dove low alongside Shaver as the fans responded with resounding cheers. Dohm had his rader locked in for pass, but each time had the door close hard. Shaver threaded the needle one last time between two lapped cars on lap 27, a move that most likely won him the race.
That same maneuver saw the garage door fall hard in the path of McGuire who lifted just enough for youngster Dohm to bag second. The young charger himself then made a last chance bid for the win after the race's only caution set up a two-lap sprint to the finish. Shaver, Dohm, McGuire, and Swartz posted the top four.
Tyler Carpenter blasted from 18th to tenth and earned hard-charger honors. Brother Chris Carpenter advanced several positions to fifth, while Larry Bond and Roy Roush, both early contenders finished sixth and seventh. Freddie Carpenter, Travis Brookover (the I-77 Champion), and Tyler Carpenter rounded out the top ten.
The first round of the MALTA AMRA Road Warrior Tour Nationals went down with a fireball of fanfare. For 28 and-a-half laps, Robbie Evans was the cream of the crop with nearly a half-track lead. The battle for third, however, produced action tighter than a week's worth of New York City refuge jammed into the compacting truck.
Kenny Johnson, Jeremy Blake, Doug Henry, Jeremy Berwanger, and Mike McPherson all slugged it out in a bid for number two. Lap after lap, often three-wide and two deep, the entourage pounded the Skyline clay in torrid fashion. Between laps eight and fourteen Henry and Blake swapped positions four times. By lap 15 Blake seemed to pull away, leaving the rest of the heavy-hitting gang to fight it out.
Evans was the class of the field and marched methodically on toward the win. On lap Blakes valiant run came to an end as he coasted into the infield. Now, Johnson and Henry clashed for second with Berwanger closing the gap in-wait. Some debris slowed the field just as the white flag fell setting up a Green-white-checkered finish.
Evans' lead had dwindled down to inches as every rattle and clank tormented the Mineral Wells driver as a pack of hungry competitors prepared to pounce on its prey. Johnson sat in second, making a bid on Evans on the restart. Johnson nosed up to Evans, but his momentum waivered and Henry took second. At the same time McPherson bagged Berwanger for fourth to earn his third hard-charger award of the year.
Said Evans, "It was easy on the gas, easy on the break. Feathering the pedal was the key tonight. The Good Lord put me in a position to win and I'm grateful." Evans also completed the clean sweep with fast time, a heat win, and feature.
Back in the pack Robert Garnes also advanced six positions in a great run to finish with a top ten. Behind 5th place Berwanger, who most likely locked the AMRA points title, were Louie Krushansky, Brett Hamilton, JC Casto, Andy Bond, and Garnes. All drove consistently fast races in putting on a great show. Only one caution slowed both the Late Model and Modified feature.
In the Pure Stock main, Flyin' Ryan Wilson put his classy mount on auto pilot after taking the lead from the ever-improving Derrick Smith, the first heat winner. Wilson survived several cautions to take his seventh Skyline main of the year and most likely wrap up the 2009 championship.
While Wilson and Smith stretched it out, Tommy Murphy, Jeremy Blake, Curt Reck, Jerred Willis, and Shane Roush did some heavy hand-to-hand battle in the trenches. When the finale shook down, Wilson rode across the line first with Smith in second ahead of Murphy, Blake, Reck, Willis, Roush, Kenny Lilly, Levi Woods, and Randy Bohan. Jeremy Blake advanced nine positions to fourth in earning hard-charger honors.
Wilson said, "It took a lot of hard work to get here in victory lane. There are a lot of great pure stocks, and to win here you have to work hard on and off the track."
Tommy Adkins wanted to make to the "Big Fooze" Memorial to pay tribute to his former teacher. Making the trek from Wisconsin, Adkins, the former Portland native blasted into the lead, but had to hold off hard charges of George Klintworth and Chris Lauer to post the win. Lauer may have had more steam at the finish, but Adkins was twice able to shut the gate and preserve the win.
Behind Adkins and Lauer were David Banks, George Klintworth, Greg King, Tony Plaugher, Ken Young, Dean Wingrove, Nick Dohm, and Roy Roush. Dohm earned hard charger honors in a 17th to 9th place run.
Always putting on a great show, the Mini-Wedges ran for their "money race" Saturday night with each driver receiving $155 compliments of many fine sponsors and track owner Billy Jarrell. Usually running for trophies, the kids have one season-ending money race. Ron Pickens posted the big win ahead of thirteen talented youngsters--Will Holland, Martin Gibson, Cole Mayle, Kyle Bond, Jason Gillian, Abby White, Cameron Roush, Samantha Roush, Lucas Shaw, Nathan Carpenter, Zach Fox, and Skylar Zimmerman.

Higgins Humbles Skyline Sprint, Montgomery Masters Late Models

Johnson AMRA ACE, Wilson, Adkins, and Bond take features wins!Skyline Speedway Results
By Scott Wolfe                  August 28, 2009
STEWART, OHIO-It was off to the races in more than one way as Skyline Speedway beat the rain. Finishing the six-class program before 11:30, Skyline fans saw 19-year-old open-wheel sensation Aaron Higgins (Waverly, Ohio) claim the exciting 410 sprint win. Jason Montgomery, Jackson, Ohio blasted the late model field in superior fashion, while Kenny Johnson (Parkersburg, WV) raked in the Malta AMRA Modified win, Dennis Adkins claimed the Four Cylinders, Ryan Wilson took the Pure Stocks and Kyle Bond claimed the Mini-Wedges.
           Outside polesitter Tyler Carpenter got the initial jump on Jason Montgomery in the star-studded Late Model main, but Montgomery came back to lead lap number one. Audie Swartz and K-C Burdette both bagged Carpenter by a lap-three caution tagged to Roy Roush.
Despite another caution, Montgomery roared to a half-straight lead ahead of nearest competitor Audie Swartz. Burdette ran a solid third, pressuring Swartz early, then left to defend his position over a charging Withem. The Jackson Ironman Montgomery broke Swartz's three-race win streak and rolled into victory lane after a long absence at the Athens County oval. Andy Bond and Steve Bigley also fought hard to overcome advances from Dan Morrison and Tony Roush, while a fading Carpenter held on for a top ten after his tires gave way.
           Swartz, K-C Burdette, Ralph Withem, fast timer Chris Garnes, A. Bond, Bigley, Morrison, Tyler Carpenter, and Tony Roush rounded out the top ten behind the winner Montgomery.
"This one's for Hilton!" smiled Montgomery in victory lane. "We only got to make about half the changes we usually make because the sprint heats went quick, so in the heat we found something (in a new setup). We didn't change much for the feature and the car really hooked up. We may have found a new setup. The key though was to stay on the bottom and keep my nose ahead of Audie on the starts."
           In the 410 sprint main Jimmy Nier led the first lap, but going into turn one teammate Charlie Fisher put a slide job on the double zero. All three Billy Jarrell entries advanced from the dash and were early frontrunners in the main. Fisher led the next four laps before Aaron Higgins took command. Josh Davis and Keith Baxter moved into the third and fourth slots as Higgins ran into traffic on lap seven.
           Accused of playing possum in the dash, Higgins came out in the feature like a streaking Tiger. The talented charger raced to a six car-length lead over Fisher, while Davis and Baxter continued to battle. Davis then reeled in Fisher by the halfway mark. Davis made the pass but a few seconds later Fisher went pitside with a leaking fuel hose. Eddie Slone had yet another strong Skyline finish sandwiched between Stinson and Nier, while Brian Benson won a race-long battle with veteran Dave Dickson and Freddie Staats.
           Higgins rolled on to the stellar win with Davis finishing a strong second over Baxter, Danny Smith, Stinson, Eddie Slone, Nier, Benson, Dickson, and Staats. Wes McGlumphy was the hard charger coming from the tail to 13th.
           "It was the pit crew," laughed Dad Mitch Higgins. "Yes, seriously it was my crew," confirmed Aaron Higgins. "We were without Scott Cool my crew chief tonight. He had surgery and this was for him. Dad did all the work. We didn't have anything in the dash, then Dad made some changes and the car took off. When you have a great car, a great crew and God watching over you, what else do you need?"
           In the MALRA AMRA main Jeremy Berwanger led the first seven laps after a rabid battle with Kenny Johnson. Johnson dogged Berwanger on the high side while Berwanger rode the bottom. Racing so close as to touch, the duo emerged unscathed from the tight racing quarters. Johnson finally wrestled away the lead by lap eight, then had to fend off challenges from Berwanger. As the race progressed Johnson's Shaw Chassis slowly pulled away for a convincing win.
           "We made a slight change after the heat race and I knew Jeremy would run the bottom," asserted Johnson. "I knew I had to go to the middle and just sorta eased it into the turns. The car responded and I was able to pull away at the end."
           Outside pole sitter and first heat winner Mike McPherson held off his boss Jeff Wood, who was storming up through the pack. Roberts, Robert Garnes and Doug Henry dueled for solid finishes, while Jason Brookover charged from deep in the pack to a top ten. Behind Johnson and Berwanger were J.P. Roberts in an 8th to 3rd place run, while Jeremy Blake, McPherson, Wood, Garnes, Brookover (15th to 8th), Doug Henry, and Roger Shadwick rounded out the top ten. Jeff Wood was the hard charger runner-up in a 12th to 6th place run, while Jeremy Blake charged from 16th to fourth for hard charger honors. Like a blue streak, last week's winner was hooked and looked for more laps to finish the job from deep in the pack.
           Adkins and Adkins sounds like a law firm, but the racing Racine duo weren't the only ones laying down the law Saturday night. Outside pole sitter Grumpy Adkins had a short-lived start after a second place the week before. Adkins left the race on the first restart and paved the way for a Dennis Adkins win, his second in a row. While Adkins waltzed uncontested to the win, George Klintworth drove his tail off in defense of second. Chris Lauer challenged with David Banks applying heavy pressure. Klintworth nailed down second behind Adkins, edging Lauer and Banks for position. Jeff Rankin had another great run into the top five ahead of Joe Adams, Josh Salyers, Shawn McClain, Ken Young and Cody Heiss. Young came from 13th to 9th and Adams from 11th to sixth for top charger honors.
           Some call him "Flyin' Ryan", but the racing stats show him as the "Dominator". Ryan Wilson has dominated the Pure Stock racing from June on and won yet another main, his seventh, after overcoming early leader and heat winner Derrick Smith. Smith ran well, but the Wilson energy entry was just one step ahead. Behind Wilson were Smith, Jared Willis, Jeremy Misel up from 8th, Curt Reck, George Klintworth, Barry Brisker up from 10th, Ron Mayle, Tommy Murphy, and Shane Roush. Ron Mayle in Darren Carpenters 1963 Impala was hard charger in a 12th to 8th place run, tying with Brisker and Misel for top passing honors.
           Skyline Speedway continues action next Saturday night September 12 after taking off one week for the Hillbilly 100 . Racing resumes when Skyline makes the switch to Saturdays on the 12th then follows up with the big Harvest 50 weekend Sept. 19 and Sept. 20.

Blake bounces AMRA Road Warriors
Baxter blasts 410 Sprints, Swartz 3-for-3
Skyline Speedway Results   August 21
By Scott Wolfe
STEWART, OHIO-

Another great field of race cars including 32 iron-clad Road Warriors from the Malta AMRA series stormed into Skyline Speedway where Guysville, Ohio driver Jeremy Blake bounced the best in the AMRA Road Warrior Tour. Chillicothe, Ohio driver Keith Baxter captured the 410 Sprint main (his fourth of the season), while Audie Swartz scored his third consecutive win in the Late Models. Blake came back for a win in the Pure Stocks, Dennis Adkins claimed the Four Cylinders, and Kyle Bond won the Mini-Wedge main.
Robbie Evans, Mineral Wells, WV and Jeremy Blake led the Malta AMRA Road Warrior tour into the bullring with Blake taking the lap one lead. Robbie Evans came back to lead the next seven circuits in a vicious duel with Blake. Side-by-side lap after the lap the two combatants fought. Kenny Johnson and Jeremy Berwanger were all within inches of each other for the first four positions, while Doug Henry stood just a car length behind.
Chris Stotts and Jo Cox blasted through the field into the top ten, while Mike McPherson, fresh off a B-main win began a charge from 18th to 13th. Tom Sigler held a top five for several laps before getting shuffled back to seventh amid battles with Jason Brookover, Stotts, Cox, Dave Defibaugh, and Andy Bond.
While Evans continued the duel with Blake, Berwanger and Johnson wagered a high stakes joust for the fourth spot. Johnson at midrace pulled into the Evans-Blake battle, but in the later stages of the event found himself full of Berwanger's #44.
Once Blake got the lead, he never looked back. At one point he stretched his advantage to five car lengths, but Evans reeled him back in for a close finish. Johnson anchored down third ahead of Berwanger, Henry, Brookover, Stotts, Sigler, Cox, and Defibaugh. Cox was named hard-charger of the race while advancing seven positions.
Blake said, "Thanks to my crew Larry, Keith, wife Cindy and my kids. Once again when the track gets like this the key is a soft right foot and easy on the gas. After I got the lead, all I had to do was keep it straight and fast."
The sprit main was a classic Skyline battle. The original start saw Cole Duncan, the dash winner, and Jimmy Nier lead the 18 car field to the green. Duncan was cited for jumping the gun and sent to the tail. Young charger Josh Davis took to the inside after moving to the front row and led the first three laps. In between Kory Crabtree, who recently turned 15-years-old, rode a wheel after a fight for 7th place and flipped a couple times in turn one to bring out the red. Crabtree was ok, but his mount was disabled.
Nier took command on lap four igniting a side-by-side battle with Davis for the next several circuits. Nier led through lap eleven, but two cautions glazed over his tires. An amazing restart saw Gibsonburg's Craig Mintz leapfrog from fourth to second past Keith Baxter and Davis who had begun a battle for second. On lap later Baxter's JSF Landscaping/Will's Painting/PSPS Surveying #1B took over second from Mintz, then sacked Nier a lap later.
Davis continued his charge and was within just a few feet for a 1st place bid until the final laps. Nier and Aaron Higgins the 2009 points' leader battled until Higgins took over 4th on the 19th circuit. Nier held on for 5th ahead of Eddie Slone and Jimmy Stinson. Dave Dickson and Mitchell Harble dueled with Charlie Fisher for several laps in pursuit of a top ten.
Up from 13th Baxter once again had his Tingler Performance/Eagle Chassis 1B on the move. The gusty drive earned him hard-charger honors and the win. But the win didn't come easy. Mintz reeled Baxter in on the high side, while Baxter milked the bottom moisture to perfection.
On the next to last lap Mintz bored his #09 into turn one between Baxter and a lapped car. Mintz pulled alongside, but couldn't make it stick. Mintz made one final bid but came up just shy of Baxter's bumper and the win.
"I didn't see (Craig) at all," said Baxter. "I just knew my car felt good and I could go as hard as I wanted. This old man can still do it."
Baxter added, "I'd like to dedicate this win to Scott's Dad Hilton Wolfe and Dan Reno (who both recently passed away) I'd like to thank my sponsors, my family, and my crew for all of their help. Without them I wouldn't be here."
Rounding out the top ten behind second place Mintz were Davis, Aaron Higgins, Jimmy Nier, Eddie Slone, Jimmy Stinson, Mitchell Harble, Dave Dickson, and Charlie Fisher. Fisher, the master engine builder and former K-C champ, was making his first sprint start in several seasons.
Words couldn't describe the excitement Larry Bond and Roy Roush brought to the first eleven laps of the late model main. Bond led the first four laps in what appeared to be a near dead heat on the conclusion of each lap. Roush edged by on lap five to lead the next six circuits, yet the cars roared literally nose-to-nose. Occasionally, Steve Bigley worked into the frey early, but fell a couple sots back for a race-long battle for fourth. Going into one of the 12th circuit, Audie Swartz split the two competitors Bond and Roush and broke up the party.
Swartz edged Bond for second, then chased Roush for three more circuits before taking over for good to win by a healthy margin. The Cogan's Performance Engines Ford Fusion pulled into victory lane for the third straight week.
Back in the pack Chris Carpenter, Bigley, and Mike McDaniel fought ferociously for position. When the finish trickled out Bond brought home second behind the winning Swartz. Roush, Carpenter, Bigley, McDaniel, Ralph Withem, Tyler Carpenter, Freddie Carpenter, and Jeff Burdette rounded out the top ten. K.C. Burdette was the hard charger of the race, while Ralph Withem also had a great passing night.
Ryan Wilson was the marked man in the Pure Stock feature. With six wins this season Wilson had dominated. Despite his hard tries to unseat Jeremy Blake, Blake came home the winner for the second time of the night. The Wilson-Blake duel was exciting, and was a third more electric when Rick VanDyne anhored down second before tailing off into third.
Fourth through tenth were Tommy Murphy, Derrick Smith, Jeremy Misel, Jared Willis, George Klintworth, Joe Misel, Barry Brisker, and Darren Carpenter.
The start of the Four Cylinder main saw cousins Dennis and Grumpy Adkins duking it out for the lead. Third through nine heated up in side-by-side passing while Dennis Adkins pulled away. Behind Dennis Adkins were Grumpy Adkins, David Banks, Jeff Rankin, George Klintworth, Greg King, Josh Salyers, Ken Young, Keith Marlowe, and Steve Brown. Klintworth and Jeff Rankin shared hard-charger honors.
Top Point man Kyle Bond led flag-to-flag in the mini-wedges. Ron Pickens was second, Will Holland third, and Abby White, Mariah Miller, Samantha Roush, Cameron Roush, and Cole Mayle.

Swartz Swarms Bond Tribute Race
Johnson jolts AMRA Mods, Wilson Wallops Pure Stocks, King captures 1st Skyline main
Will Holland masters mini’s

Skyline Speedway Results  
By Scott Wolfe August 14, 2009
STEWART, OHIO- Saturday, August 14 was “The Tribute 35” for Ronnie and Sarah Bond, two local legends of the sport of racing, especially at Skyline Speedway. Claiming the title race was Minford, Ohio’s Audie Swartz, who claimed his second straight Skyline Late Model win to assert himself as the man to beat for the season point’s championship. Parkersburg’s Kenny Johnson claimed the Malta AMRA Modified main, Ryan Wilson claimed his sixth Pure Stock feature, Greg King captured the Four Cylinders, and Will Holland the mini-wedges.
In the late model A-main Jason Montgomery and Delmas Conley led the 18-car field to the line. Montgomery, the two-time K-C Champ, won the drag race out of turn two. Montgomery survived two early cautions, one for former Skyline Champ Mike McDaniel who was hit by another competitor on lap two and another for Zach Dohm who lost a wheel on lap six. On the restart Ronnie Mayle and Nick Corbitt looped it, before the racing once again went green.
Heading for the touchdown, Montgomery sprinted to the length of a football field ahead of runner up Swartz, but on lap twelve that turf was eclipsed when Freddie Carpenter's mount caught on fire on lap 12. After another caution, Audie Swartz was able to hang right with the hard boring Jacksonian.
A change of fate struck on lap 23 when Montgomery had to exit with mechanical woes. Said Swartz, "I know if you push Jason (Montgomery) he drives it just a little bit harder. I did that for a while and Jason was just flat-out good early in the race. I think I could have given him a run if he wouldn't have broke.”
Swartz inherited the lead, while at the same time young Nick Corbitt was breaking away from the second pack of cars to move into third behind Larry Bond. Bond drove like a demon and with the added incentive of his parents’ tribute night, he had the throttle of the Family Tradition #10 anchored to the floorboard. Corbitt and Bond had hard drives from 11th and 12th into the top five. At this point, Delmas Conley stood in fourth ahead of young lion Chris Carpenter, Rod Conley, Ralph Withem and Travis Brookover.
On lap 29, Jeff Wood who was running in the top five, broke an axle tube and took a grinding spin into the infield uke tires. Now Swartz’s Ford Fusion/Swartz Chassis led the field to the green, where he checked out on runner-up Larry Bond and veteran Delmas Conley.
"You're only as good as your car, and tonight we had a pretty good race car," said Audie Swartz. " Jason broke, but still this was a great win. It’s a neat deal to be able to win and pay tribute to the Bonds. Also, thanks to all those who help me , especially Dad (Charlie) "
Rounding out the top ten behind Swartz was Delmas Conley, Larry Bond, Nick Corbitt, Rod Conley, Ralph Withem, Ronnie Mayle, Chris Carpenter, Travis Brookover, and Dan Morrison. In a post race ceremony tribute was paid to Ronnie and Sarah Bond of Coolville, while also the top six drivers were presented trophies from Wetzel’s collectibles.
Next the Malta AMRA modifieds took to the track with Doug Henry, the first heat winner jumping into the early lead. Henry was super strong in the early going. The Beverly, Ohio driver and former AMRA National Champ survived several cautions, but J.P. Roberts and Kenny Johnson also flexed their muscle in a rough-house fight for second. Berwanger stood in wait in fourth ahead of Matt Holcomb and Ken Patrick. On a lap three restart Johnson buzz-sawed Roberts and nearly took Henry.
Two laps later Johnson bagged Henry, just before the yellow waved for a grinding Brandon Patton crash. J.P. Roberts looped it on the restart, pitting Berwanger on Henry's hind quarters for second. Dusty Boley put his brand new #75 on the high side picking off several cars in working toward a top five.
Late in the race Matt Holcomb and Mike McPherson went on a hunt, stampeding into the top five. Johnson continued to lead Berwanger, while Holcomb worked hard to pull off a top three in a fight with Henry. Roberts charged off the tail to seventh, while McPherson continued his rampage to a top five. Holcomb also anchored his position with a good run alongside Ken Patrick. Robin Ours , Roger Shadwick, and Dusty Boley had good top ten runs. Usually, the rim-rider Johnson found the bottom to his liking. Sometimes, never lifting Johnson’s Larry Shaw/Billy Lloyd engines #1 defied gravity as he strapped his mount to the inside rail and on to victory.
Hard charger of the race was the high-flying Mike McPherson. Behind the winning Johnson as Jeremy Berwanger, the AMRA National Points Leader; Doug Henry, Mike McPherson, Matt Holcomb, Ken Patrick, J.P. Roberts, Robin Ours, Roger Shadwick, and Dusty Boley.
"First, it feels good to get back to victory lane. I'd just like to say I love my Dad (former driver Gene Johnson) and I dedicate this win to (the late) Hilton Wolfe. This one's for him."
"As much as I hate to say it I wouldn't have won if I wouldn't have run the bottom. I like the high side, but tonight I hooked this Larry Shaw car up down low and that was the difference."
The Four Cylinder main was another wild one. Pomeroy's David Banks led the first go-round, then Shawn McClain was chased like a pack of wolves. McClain led the next several laps with Greg King, Chris Lauer, and Banks all in tow. Banks regained the lead, only to yield to Greg King after a Tony Plaugher flip.
Coming from a 10th place start, King was not only the winner but the hard charger of the race. King went on to the win ahead of Lauer, Banks, Jeff Rankin, Josh Salyers, Joe Adams, Grumpy Adkins, Steve Brown, Brandon Bowling, and Cody Heiss.
In the pure stocks, Shane Roush and Barry Brisker dueled side-by-side over the first lap, with five-time winner Ryan Wilson directly in tow. On a lap one restart Roush again led, but Brisker fell off the pace and Ryan Wilson inserted himself in the second slot. Seconds later, five-time winner Wilson again proved to be the class of the field and bolted away from the field.
Contenders Roush and Murphy took hard hits in a lap five caution, but were ok merely clearing the track for Wilson’s clear sailing. Early season favorites Jeremy Blake and Tommy Murphy battled wildly for second while Gary Gould, Derrick Smith, and Lance Wepple had good runs going. Behind Wilson at the finish was Blake, Murphy, Gould, Smith, Weppler, George Klintworth, Ben Ayres, Mark Henry, and Jeremy Misel. Derrick Smith was the hard charger in an 11th to fourth place run.
Bicycle winners were Brady Church and Makayla Smith, while Josh Crabtree won the Scooter. Sponsors for these prizes were C&S Racing Photo and Wetzel's Collectibles. Nearly 30 kids participated in the bicycle races and the first 100 kids in the gate received a gift and free ice cream compliments of Billy Jarrell, Wetzels, and C&S Racing Photos. Wetzels also presented Sarah and Ronnie Bond with a Tribute Plaque for their years of service to the racing community.
Skyline Speedway continues action next Friday night August 21 with a full racing program and $1 off with the Aug. 14 general admission ticket. For further information visit << www.skylinespeedway.net >> or call 304-539-4410 or the track phone at 740-662-4111.
