Alan Miller Aug.28.2011 (Warrensburg, MO) – This weekend was the last opportunity for drivers to prepare for the final of the three summer holiday modified specials at Central Missouri Speedway (CMS). Modified drivers will compete for a $3,000 -to-win special event on Sunday, September 4th after the B-modified drivers go after their $1,500-to-win feature on Saturday, September 3rd. The drivers competing on Scouts night at the races this weekend produced some exciting racing action at the ‘Fastest High Banked Clay Oval in the Midwest’ in the four weekly divisions, including the ‘mighty’ modifieds, ULMA late models, street stocks, and b-modifieds. The question was who would celebrate in Waterloo Storage Products Victory Lane with a feature win as the drive to the championship crown continues on to September 10th. Starting the weekly racing action were the Brooks Automotive B-Mods with three heat races for the 27 cars in the pits. Jeremiah Wilson took the checkered flag in heat one for the win. Jason Bodenhamer in Trent Deadmon’s car grabbed heat two with points leader, Jacob Ebert for the win in the final heat. A b-main finalized the final starting spots when Ethan Isaacs won the race and Steve Neal, Ernie Walker, Jeff McNew and Cody Brill transferred into the main event. After intermission, the b-modified main feature began with Ebert and Johnny McGinnis starting up front leading the 15-lap feature after Bobby Russ Wood had to scratch his start on the outside front row. Ebert quickly jumped into the early lead, but Bodenhamer kept the pressure on attempting the high and low groves to move around Ebert. Another tough night for Chad Staus led to a turn four incident and a flat tire causing him to end his night after looking strong in the top three. Ethan Isaacs out of the b-main made some convincing moves up through the field to the top four by lap ten. Ebert moved into some lapped traffic late in the feature to add some tension with Bodenhamer on his tail. In the end, Ebert grabbed his tenth feature win with Bodenhamer close behind in second. Isaacs with one of the a fastest cars on the track, finished in third. Chris Whalen posted a strong fourth-place finish just ahead of McGinnis in fifth and Chris Brockway in sixth. The Eickleberry Concrete, Expressways Food Shop, Brooks Automotive Street Stocks placed 15 machines on the track for two event heat qualifiers. Herb Dannar claimed heat one over Jeremy Curless with 17 year old Bryce McMillin taking heat two over Jason Ryun. Ryun and McMillin started on the front row for the 15-lap main with McMillin once again making a statement early on in the feature that he was in control . Brian Ziegler made an unusual slip in turn two on the initial start of the event which put him at the tail of the field. Ryun continued to put pressure on McMillin with Jay Barnes moving up into third on lap seven. After several cautions Ziegler worked his way back up into contention with some smooth high-side racing. McMillin proved himself again against some tough competition and gained his second feature win in a row at CMS. Barnes posted a strong runner-up finish, Ryun coming home in third with a solid finish, Ziegler settled for fourth, Herb Dannar fifth and Michael Mullins moving up into sixth from deep in the field. Next up were the Rod End Supply, Bodee’s Race Bodies, B&D Transmission, All-American Auto ULMA with 12 Late Models for two heats. In the first heat, Lane Ehlert claimed the checkers with Brett Wood for a unyielding win in a stacked heat two. These two drivers garnered the most passing points and began the 20-lap main event on the front row. When the green flag flew it was Wood who cranked his machine into the lead past Ehlert and Bob King. King departed the track in turn two on the high-side on lap five then several laps later Ehlert was tapped in turn two causing him to spin. Wood then had Bob Test and Jason Bodenhamer to deal with behind him. Chad Clancy then became the man on the move and slid up into second by lap fifteen with Wood in command at the point. Brett Wood stayed in front from the beginning and made an impressive run to the checkered flag picking up his second win. Chad Clancy ran a solid race to take second for his best finish this season, Bodenhamer moves back into third after a charge from a tenth place starting position. Coyne moves up into fourth, Test fifth and Ehlert worked hard to move back up into sixth. The local field of 30 talented modified drivers highlighted the Beebe Heating & Cooling, Seeburg Mufflers, Cornerstone Agency, Dale’s Towing Modifieds with four challenging heats. The four heat winners gained well deserved checkered flag victories and included Tim Karrick in heat number one and Donnie Dannar with a triumph in heat two. In heat three, Chad Lyle took the win and Terry Schultz looked sturdy in the final heat for the win. The modified b-main event settled the final eight transfers when Steve Twenter grabbed his first win of the year. Karrick and Dannar secured the front row with the highest passing points and led the field to the green for the 25-lap main event. Early on Karrick and Moody with Dannar battled for the top spot with Karrick out front. Moody worked around Dannar and kept the pressure on Karrick into lapped traffic for 23 laps until some late race incidents caused several cautions. Terry Schultz the points leader moved up and battled with Moody for second place until he left the track with a flat tire late in the race. His 17th place finish will tighten up the point’s race with Bodenhamer who came out of the b-main and finished eighth. Chad Lyle also had some tough luck when Moody checked up in front of him and he had to jam on the binders taking him back in the field. At the end, Lyle did recover back up into a seventh place finish. Karrick finally hung on and took the double checkers for his fourth win in the last five weeks of racing at CMS. Moody finished with a very sound second with Luke Feeback making his way up into third. Richard Layne has his best finish this season in fourth with Dannar fifth and Aaron Marrant into sixth. The annual Labor Day two-day special takes place on Saturday, September 3rd with all four weekly classes in competition and regular grandstand and pit prices for the annual b-modifieds special $1,500-to-win race. Modifieds will be competing for the inside row starting positions for the following night’s modified special.
