Conley and Crabtree Claim WCS
Wins
Orrville OH - May 30 - A quality field of dedicated competitors gave fans a
great show last Saturday night at Federated Auto Parts Wayne County Speedway
with Wellsburg WV driver Corey Conley the best in the Late Model feature. A
mishap with a lapped car eliminated Troy Vaccaro and made sailing much easier
for Kory Crabtree to win his second Sprint feature on the 3/8ths mile clay. Chad
Craver held off Troy Anderson to not only win a second main event but to also
take sole possession of the points lead. After a strong Cruiser heat win Mike
Amstutz appeared to be a shoe in for the feature but Charlie Dawson had other
ideas when he took the lead coming out of turn two and ran away for the win.
Mason Radcliff used the same move a lap later to secure second and Amstutz had
to settle for third. In the Mini Stocks it was all Chad Young claiming both the
heat and main event over Jordan James and Chase Alexander, both previous feature
winners.
The Late Model feature got off to a great start with Wooster’s JR Gentry taking
the early lead but it did not take long for Corey Conley to work his magic and
assume control. Close behind Ryan Markham was searching high, Wayne Maffett Jr.
low both closing in on Gentry while Doug Drown, Chet Alexander, and Dave
Hornikel battled three wide for position. On the tenth circuit Maffett confirms
third over Markham and Hornikel around Drown then back again. Not content
running second Gentry gives Conley a nudge coming out of two but loses grip in
turn four, falling back two positions. Quickly back in control he pulls
alongside Markham but slips again and settles into fifth. By lap 18 Conley
catches lapped cars allowing Maffett and Markham to close in but works traffic
with ease leaving his pursuers to deal. Hornikel takes advantage of this and
passes Markham for third, as the race nears the end Drown attempts the same but
Markham fights back holding onto fourth. Conley was the top qualifier on the
night while Gentry won the dash. Heats went to Chet Alexander and DJ Cline of St
Clairsville.
The green flag waved on the Sprint feature and it was going to be a good one
with Kory Crabtree and Troy Vaccaro going into the first corners then down the
back stretch side by side but a yellow flag for a lone spinner would signal a
complete restart. This time Crabtree would simply overpower Vaccaro and take
control of the lead. As Jamie Miller, Jason Dollick, and Kirk Jeffries scrambled
to fill the top five Danny Mumaw and Aaron Middaugh would use every inch of race
track to work their way toward the front runners. On lap seven a spin going into
turn one as the leaders quickly bear down, Crabtree barely squeezes thru but
Vaccaro not as lucky grazing the barrier, climbing the wall narrowly avoiding a
roll over and sending him pit side. Back to green and dash winning Crabtree
would stretch his margin leaving Miller, Kevin Lee,
Mumaw, and Jeffries racing for the top five. Miller had fast time on the night
while Lee and Duffy Smith won heats. Every week
the Pure Stocks are the most competitive class going and easily a fan favorite
at Wayne County, tonight opening laps of their feature event saw a four way
adrenaline filled battle for the lead between Chad Craver, Brad Channell, Troy
Anderson, and Travis Menshing. By the fifth circuit entering turn four contact
is made leaving Channel sideways in the dirt, dejected Channel showed his
displeasure and suffered a further penalty. Back to green flag racing and fast
qualifier Craver fought off the occasional challenge by Anderson to record a
second win on the season. In preliminaries Channel won the dash and Rich Frame
scored the heat.
Please note a slight schedule change for next week, Sprints have been given a
night off so we may bring in the Circle Track Mini Trucks and make up for a rain
out. Pure Stocks, Cruisers, and Mini Stocks will be included along with a
special $1500 to win Super Late Model Summer Sizzler as the main event. We would
like to thank all race fans for their support and keeping dirt track racing
alive and well. WCS is located south of Orrville Ohio just off Historic Lincoln
Highway, please visit
