Twin Flinn Fun & Mid-Season Trophies!

June 16 Results

It's ALWAYS fun when you can you are friends with the winner of a pro series race, and the Saturday night winner of the NASCAR® Busch race at Nasvhille has all of us at ROTW smiling today. We videotaped Stephen Leicht routinely crush the ASA Late Model Series field during the 2005 season and got to know him as a genuinely nice young man. Within 90 seconds of our first meeting we knew this youngster was destined to be a NASCAR® champion someday. While some folks think it took a while for him to get the first win (38 races), we know the Robert Yates Racing team strategy was NOT to create a flash of brilliance and then fade, but rather to build a solid foundation of experience from which to build a champion contender. It's our pleasure to express our congratulations to Stephen and wish him well as he continues in his NASCAR® career.

  It was Mid Season Championship night at Crystal Motor Speedway last Saturday night, sponsored by Crystal Micro Systems. A large crowd was on hand to watch the festivities. The much talked about 'Twin Flinn' race kicked off the evening's features. A chalk line was drawn all the way around the track, dividing the track into a lower and upper section. Drivers were then split into groups and brought out unto the field. One group would occupy the upper section and go the normal 'turn left' around the track while the second group took the lower section and went the opposite direction.

In keeping with the 'twin' motif, the official starters for the event were twin brothers, Ron and Roger Flinn using flags from their first promotion effort some 30+ years ago. The races were started and despite several 'close calls' there were no accidents and the crowd found it quite entertaining. Brandon Mills and Tim Bowen took the win for the event.

Fowler Prevails Over Bowen - Again


FEATURE WINNER - Joe Fowler

The Engine Pro IMCA Modified feature was first out of the chutes. Within the first few laps, cautions took out several potential contenders. Chad Burke led the early going but points leader Joe Fowler and Brennan Bowen came lurking up through the field and slipped around him and began their fight for the lead. Bowen held a respectable lead that evaporated after a caution occurred. On the restart, Fowler was able to overtake Bowen and went on to win over Bowen, Burke, Buzz Lawrence, Randy Ruesink, Chad Wernette, Rusty Zeigler, Nate Jones, Chad Maurer, and Paul Grosnickle.

Greg Wiles and Don Proctor Jr took B Main wins with heat wins going to Ruesink, Myron DeYoung, and Carl Thayer.

*Tie for position


FEATURE WINNER - Scott Baker

The Late Model affair had a couple contender eliminating cautions much as did the IMCA Modified race. A fight for position between Rusty Seaver and Paul Tucker resulted in Rick Stout cutting down a tire and scraping the wall and thus removing him from valid contention. In the mean time, Scott Baker took full advantage of his pole position as he went to the whip early and often. The others worked at Baker but he was on a mellow cruise most of the time... anytime anyone mounted a real challenge, he kicked it in the butt and was gone until they caught him again as he brought home his first 2007 feature win. Marcoullier was second, followed by Haney, Seaver, Bill Trueblood, Jr., Brock Cogswell, Mark Andersen, Dean Huizenga, Brad Buskirk, and Jim Emmons.

Zach Olger took the B Main and also scored a heat win as did Curt Mesman and Cogswell.

Griffin Best Of Pros-
Buskirk Moves To 1st In Points


FEATURE WINNER - Robert Griffin

The Pro Stock feature was an exciting event with Bob Griffin having to fight to keep the lead from the opening lap. A hard charging Jeff Reist suffered a flat tire as he moved toward the front. He left the field, changed the tire and still brought home a eleventh place finish. As the laps wound down, it turned into a four car battle to overtake Griffin. Vern Buskirk could come close but was never able to pull it off. Mike Corder, Barry Rinard and Todd Bush all had good runs that brought them into contention for the win but Griffin had the machine and he went on to take the win over Rinard, Buskirk, Bush, Corder, Gordon Snyder, Greg Mandoka, Andy Hoisington, Doug McKeown, Sr., and Terry LaClear.

Mandoka and Hoisington took heat wins.

David Verhaar and Aaron Raby put on a great fight for second with Verhaar taking the position when the flag fell. Raby was followed by Jerry Koons, Jamie McCormick, Tim Wood, Rodney Heikkila, Chris Busbee, and Charles Perry.

FEATURE WINNER - Mickey Carman, Jr

The Street Stock event got off to a rocky start when Dan Minikey got tagged coming out of turn two and turning him into oncoming traffic. Derrick Dennis was unable to avoid him and hit him hard head on. Dennis was checked out by safety personnel on the back stretch and treated for his injuries. Once back to racing, Mickey Carman Jr. took control of the race and proved to be difficult to catch. Larry Kosloski and Ryan Kent gave it all they had but they were never able to haul in Carman who chalked up his first feature win ever. Bryan Craigmyle brought home a fourth place finish after Kent, followed by Scott Crook, Thomas Stevens, Lloyd Long, Al Kiester, Kevin Dard, and CJ Reisbig.

Long and Reisbig scored heat wins in the preliminary races.
