OMS Highlights Speedway News by Neil Strzelecki
POSTED JAN. 2008 Race held on 9/29/07 The first annual Fall Fest was held a OMS Saturday, September 29th, 2007. We had a really good show for a race that was put together in three weeks! Hats off to Jerry Deason driver of the Pure Stock car #24, for doing an excellant job of promoting the event. The weather was perfect and it reminded me of the days when OMS ran their season into October. We had 5 classes of cars that put on an excellant show. With the short notice many drivers either already had their cars stored for the winter or had already planned on going south to get in a few late season races. Thank you to all the drivers and fans that showed up for this event. We had late models once again at OMS and maybe the Palmers will consider bringing them back next year. In the Late Model 4-car dash Kris Riley took the checkers ahead of Mike Richer from Norway, and Josh Ware from Kinross. In the Heat Race Ware lead the field across the finish line. Kim Zinker from Fairview, an old regular at OMS, took second and Jeff Ellenburger took third. In the 50 lap Feature Ellenburger had the early lead but Zinker took over the lead and looked like he was the car to beat. Ware moved into second and raced Zinker nose to tail for several laps, and then laps 14, 15, and 16 were run door to door and Ware took the lead on lap 17. Once he got out front the race was history. By lap 25 Ware had a straight away lead. By lap 50 he wes close to lapping the field. Ware took the checkers, Zinker was second and Richer took third. Thanks agein to all Late Model drivers for a fine show. It was so good to see you back at OMS. In the Super Stocks Brian Baumgarten made his first appearance for the year and started the night out winning the Dash. Kary Saddison from Harbor Springs took second and Gary Prow took third. In the Heat Race Josh Ware and Tom Stone ran 5 laps nose to tail and on lap 10 Stone made his move coming out of turn 4 but Ware took the checkers by a foot. Stone took a close second and Randy Wolfgram took third. Ware had the early lead in the 50 lap Feature but on lap 11 Stone took the lead and then the field fell into single file Ware and Saddison fought for second while Baumgarten started smoking and Wolfgram developed problems and both had to pit. Gary Prow didn't make the Feature due to engine problems, Stone won the checkers, Ware took second and Saddison finished third. Stan Chaskey won the Dash in the Pure Stock class and Curtis Anderson took second. Randy Nash won the first Aussie followed by Chaskey and Jerry Deason. Joe Hoerner won the second Aussie Tracy Prow took second and Mick Pieri took third. Riley Hoeft got a big lead in the first Heat Race and Anderson, Ryan Radziejewski, Deason, and Chaskey ran nose to tail behind the leader. Hoeft took the Heat, Deason was second, and Anderson finished third. In the second Heat they entered turn #1 three wide and Hoerner came out of the mess with the lead. On lap 12 Nash spun into the infield bringing out the caution. Hoerner held on for the win. Ken Burgess took second and Levi Ronk took third. The Feature was filled with cautions, I guess they forgot they had 50 laps to run! On lap 2, Nash collected Ronk and they both visited the wall in turn #3. On lap 5 Jill Wojtkowiak spun in turn #4. Another caution occured on the restart. Lap 12 Burgess spins into the infield. Old yeller flies again. On lap 14, Chaskey took the lead from Hoerner. On lap 20, Hoeft spun Anderson coming out of turn #4. Disagreement between the driver and the flagman over the call sent Hoeft to the pits via the black flag. Hoerner followed his teammate to the pits. The rest of the race ran green and Chaskey took the win, Nash was second and Tracy Prow third. John Clawson won the Dash in the 4 Cylinder class. Allie Jepser was second and Brandy Clawson in her pink car took third. This is a new class for OMS and I don't know any of the driver so I apologize for any misspellings or mistakes I might make. The Heat started out three wide and when they came out of turn #2, John Clawson had the lead. Lap 6 Clawson and Mike Muckenthaler were running door to door. Muckenthaler took the lead and the checkers. Clawson was second and Allie Jepser was third. Ben Baker lost a wheel on the fromt stretch of the 50 lap Feature bringing out the yellow. The rest of the race ran under green. Muckenthaler held off Brandy Clawson in her pink #35 for the win, Clawson finished a strong second and Allie Jepser finished third. The pro 4 Cyinders only had 2 cars show up, so they ran a 15 lap race. Keith Newberry won the shootout and George Schrage was runner up. These guys can really fly arond the track. Maybe we will get this class back next year as well as the 4 cylinders. Hope all the new drivers enjoyed racing at OMS, we sure enjoyed seeing you and hope to see you next year as regulars or at least at the 2nd annual OMS Fall Fest. As for our regular drivers it was so great to get to see you one more time before the snow flies. Thanks once again Jerry Deason and all your helpers for putting the Fall Fest together. It was GREAT! See you all in 2008!!
