Flinn To Hall Of Fame!

June 9 Results

After a week of rain, racing resumed at Crystal Motor Speedway Saturday night. A large crowd was on had to watch the six normal divisions, the MORA Sprints race, a special 'steeple' race involving local pastors, and the announcement that track owner/promoter Ron Flinn had been voted into the Michigan Motor Sports Hall of Fame.


Promoter Ron Flinn/Flagman Ryan Flinn Flinn has been active in area racing for decades, starting with the Ionia Fairgrounds racetrack through buying the Crystal Motor Speedway back in 1990. Flinn was speechless when he was told about the honor on the front stretch prior to the evenings racing. In typical fashion, he placed his success due to his family and those who worked for him throughout the years.

The MORA Sprint race was won by Matt Johnston and the 'Faster Pastor' steeple race was taken by Brad Kooiker in one of the fan favorite races of the season.

Fowler, Borton Move From Rear To Take Top Spots


FEATURE WINNER - Joe Fowler

The Engine Pro IMCA Modifieds was nearly a repeat of the Late Model race as "Smiling" Joey Fowler overtook Josh Borton in the last set of turns to claim his third trip to the wincers circle. Borton had run a great race as he picked his way to the front, taking the lead from Chad Wernette. Fowler came from a row deeper in the field and had to battle a hard charging Brennan Bowen to get to Borton as the last couple laps began to approach. Fowler positioned himself perfectly to take the win away Borton in the last lap. Bowen took home a third place finish, followed by Rob Brillhart, Wernette, Oscar Rulapaugh, Jr., Randy Ruesink, Luke Olger, Chad Burke and Dan Wiggins II.

Buzz Lawrence and Jerry Pace took B main honors while heat gold was awarded to Borton, Brillhart, Myron DeYoung, and Bowen.

FEATURE WINNER - Zach Olger

The Late Model feature was another episode in the continuing saga of great racing. Rusty Seaver had worked his way forward from the sixth row and took the lead about half way into the event. A bit further back, Zach Olger took the green from the eighth row and soon was tailing Seaver. Both racers were able to weave in and around traffic as they volleyed for the lead.

With two laps to go, Seaver appeared to have the win in his back pocket but Olger rallied hard and as the checkered flag fell, it took about 30 seconds to make the decision that Olger had taken the win by about five inches. The crowd was on its feet cheering the two drivers for a furious but very cleanly driven race.

Buskirk Polished Off Mr. Smooth -
Mandoka Leads First Half - Fades To Fourth


FEATURE WINNER - Vern Buskirk

Pro Stock action ended the evening with another torrid battle between Vern Buskirk and Jeff Reist. Both racers had worked their way from deep in the field. Greg Mandoka had lead much of the first half of the race, fighting off advances from Kevin Rohn but Buskirk and Reist came flying up through the field, leaving them fighting for third. Reist could almost catch Buskirk in the corners but Buskirk could pull away down the straights. Both drivers fought hard but clean as they thrilled the fans with their torrid fight. Buskirk made a cleaner run coming out of turn four for the win over Reist, Rohn, Mandoka, Barry Rinard, Todd Bush, Richard Buerge, Andy Hoisington, Tim Cogswell, and Bob Griffin.

Rohn, Mandoka, and Mike Corder all claimed heat wins.

FEATURE WINNER - Mike Vandermark

Street Stock action saw another race come right down to the wire as Mike Vandermark beat J.R. Schmid out of turn four to take the win.

Derrick Dennis and Bryan Craigmyle exchanged blows as the next set of drivers battling right behind the leaders. Vandermark took the win with Schmid second, followed by Craigmyle, Dennis, Al Kiester, Bill Mullins, Dan Minikey Jr., Steve Buskirk, Gary Buskirk, and Ryan Kent.
