2022 Wingless Weds.600 Micro Win List Keeps Adding New Names.
 
With 20 events run this season the 600 micros have 15 different winners with not 1 driver having more than 2 wins.Jackson White adds his name to an impressive win list this season after warding off all challenges from Daniel Bair and Trevor Kobylarz.A nice solid 3rd place finish from 8th starter James Roselli set Bair back to 4th at race's end.Another top 5 run for fan favorite Adam Buchel in the #10.2 yellows on lap 5 were the only slowdowns for these talented drivers.The late lap 3 car battle for 6th was a classic between Richie Hartman,JT Bierman and Tyler Bowman.
 
The 125's were 1st on the speedway for their 20 lap A Main and point leader Chris Dolan had to deal with A J Gerhart and an impressive run by Dave Schroeder.A Lap 15 yellow for Dolan set the way for Gerhart as he took the checker.4 seconds ahead of Schroeder with Shane Davis recovering from some early race handling woes to finish 3rd.Last week's winner John Maurer slotted in for 4th just ahead of Cooper Schoenly who piloted his 67 to 5th.
 
Plenty of action throughout the Junior Slingshot field with the young racers only having 3 slowdowns in their 25 lap main event.6 time winner Ryan Rochelle was joined by 6 time winner and current point leader Chase Schott for the drag race heading into turn 1 for race leadership with Rochelle getting the slight advantage he needed off of turn 2.A lap 18 yellow for 3rd and 4th place running Colton Williams and Griffin Hendershot was all Parker Hendricks needed to become a race contender.Rochelle got through slower traffic to get win # 7 ,just ahead of Schott and Hendricks.Charging through the field was Hailey Eroh getting a strong 4th place payout as Weds. newcomer Logan Mears got 5th.,just ahead of Chase Gular.
 
Only 1 caution at the start of the 270 micro main was not gonna prevent Matt McAnally from claiming win # 2 for the season.He had quite a few drivers wanting that win ,those being Matt Hoffman,Louden Reimert and a fast closing Richie Hartman.A last turn charge by Reimert left him just .05 seconds short of getting win # 9 on the season.Hartman's 3rd place run was not an easy one as Louis Horvath,Sr. put on quite a showing the last 5 laps to just miss the final podium spot with Hoffman getting a 5th place pay envelope.Patrick Kirn,Adam Buchel and Brandon Confer rounded out the Elite 8.
 
With only 2 yellows shown during the All Star Slingshot race,there was no one that had anything for the 32 of Brett Bieber.No matter how hard Luke McCloskey tried at both ends of the speedway,Bieber was slightly faster.Jax Yohn's 3rd place run was not gonna be final until the checker as Nolen Layser had some late race magic to become a top 3 threat,only to run out of laps and settle in for 4th.Last week's winner Tucker Cole would claim 5th place over Tess Horvath.Rounding out the top 8 were point leader Lindsey Garl and Patrick O'Brien.A last lap incident involving Lucas and Mason Pittenger,Faith Turnbaugh,George Manion and Alex Lagun had the fans holding their breath until all drivers were free from their vehicles.
 
A strong 18 car Stage 1 Mod field set a blistering pace after a lap 1 caution with Stephen Smith III and Bryce Dodig swapping the top spot for a few laps until a lap 8 caution gathered everyone back up and Dodig set sail at the restart green.2 more yellows would not deny Dodig his 3rd win of 2022,but Smith made a few gallant efforts.Mark Mohr was up on the wheel to get by Riley Wanamaker for 3rd.Coming from 14th to a final finish of 5th was point leader A J Gerhart.It was a battle of the Faust Family with Mike,Jr. just besting Mike,Sr. for 6th as Mike Glass rebounded from a lap 15 yellow to salvage an 8th place showing.
 
103 entries and a checker thrown at 9:58 gave the fans another solid reason to attend next week's season ender.A special thanks to a Dolan Race Team member who gave back their winning concession stand voucher to be given out next week for a lucky fan to enjoy.
 
The number of drivers that complemented the track surface last night,might've set a new high.All race teams and fans deserve to be thanked for your support of the fantastic racing presented at the Race Track By the River.
