Putt Gets Second Checker -
DeYoung Challenged ...


FEATURE WINNER - Robert Putt

As always, the Engine Pro IMCA Modifieds put on a heck of a show. With over 35 cars vying for 20 feature positions, the competition has been extremely intense. It was Toby Steele and Robert Putt that brought a tight bunch of open wheel competitors to the green flag. Robert Putt, with the assistance of the high groove was able to jump out front and never look back for the entire 20 lap affair. Myron DeYoung, from mid-pack, had pulled along side of Putt many times but was unable to make the move for the win. Putt picks up his second victory of his career and second of the 2007 season. DeYoung wound up in the runner-up spot followed by Buzz Lawrence, Gary Vandermark, and Carl Thayer.

The remaining top ten were; Steele, Chad Wernette, Rusty Ziegler, Greg Wiles, and point leader Joe Fowler. B-main accolades went to Josh Borton and Wiles.

The heat races were won by Jimmy Hale, Vandermark, Randy Ruesink, and Putt.

FEATURE WINNER - Ryan VanderVeen

Another first timer picked up the win in the Late Model division, but he had to work his way to the front to take the victory. Rookies Keith Gentz and Oscar Rulapaugh brought the field to the green flag for the feature event. Rulapaugh experienced problems almost immediately and brought out the fist caution. Once underway, Gentz led the first handful of laps before last week's winner Carl Ries grabbed the lead. He looked like he was on his way to back-to-back victories when mechanical woes knocked him out of the event with less that ten laps remaining. This put second place Ryan Vanderveen into the lead.

At the end of the 30th lap, he was able to beat out Paul Tucker to pick up his first ever feature win at Crystal Motor Speedway. Following Tucker was Zack Olger, Brock Cogswell, and Jay Van Dyke. Six through ten were Mark Anderson, Neil Siefker, Jack Emmons, Jim Emmons, and Dean Huizenga.

The B-Main checkered went to Van Dyke. Heat races were awarded to Olger, Brian Nickerson, and Ries.

Husted Grabs First '07 Win
Griffen Falters With Problems


FEATURE WINNER - Mike Husted

The Pro Stock feature was a barnburner. Bob Griffin was enroute to pick up his fourth win this season when a faulty plug wire started to inhibit his motor from getting enough power. As the power waned from the Griffin machine, Mike Husted was able to take advantage of the situation to receive his first checkered flag of the 2007 racing season. He was challenged heavily by a surging Chaney Newland who was unable to get the momentum on the bottom to make the pass.

Jeff Reist finished third, followed by Vern Buskirk, and Andy Hoisington. The rest of the top ten was close with Griffin, Todd Bush, Barry Rinard, Doug McKeown, and rookie Kevin Rohn.

Heats were won by Griffin and McKeown.

FEATURE WINNER - Jacob Headley

CORRECTION: In the write up submitted by Roger Williams, it gives the impression that Mr Headley worked his way forward to win the feature, when in fact he started on the pole and lead the entire race. After a multitude of emails and calls from family, I am making this correction and regret the previous story led some to believe he had to come up through traffic to win. My apologies.

V
--

The Port City Pro Trucks kicked off the main events with a highly competitive show. These drivers started off shaky at the beginning of the season, but the past few nights, they have put on some of the best racing of the evening. Chuck Perry and Gary Dancer set the pace of the field for the early going of the 20 lap main event, but it wasn't long before the complexion of the race would change.

An incident on the front stretch sent out Chuck Perry and left the battle for the rest of the field to settle. Jacob Headley inherited the lead after working his way to the front. He found the position to be tough as Aaron Raby was all over the inside of Headley for the remaining few laps. At the end Headley picked up his first feature victory of 2007. Raby finished second, followed by Jamie McCormick, Dancer, and current points leader and 2006 Champion Tim Wood.

Currently, Wood and McCormick are separated by one point for the top spot in the point standings.

Chuck Perry took the heat gold.

FEATURE WINNER - Brian Craigmyle

The Street Stocks put on another great show and it also created a new face in Victory lane for 2007. Bryan Craigmyle was able to stay out of trouble and moved through the pack to pick up his first big payday of the 2007 year. He held off ten-time feature winner Mike Vandermark Jr for the win. They were followed across the line by Ryan Kent's strong run, Mickey Carmen (who had led some of the event), and rookie Corey Ruesink.

The rest of the top ten included; Jim Sagryn, Al Keister, Larry Kosloski, Gary Buskirk, and Lloyd Long.

Heat race champions were Carmen and Craigmyle.
