THE HOMETOWN HUDDLE

Racers Wrap Up Month Long Tours At Oakshade Raceway

The UMP Late Model
Summer Nationals and
Summit Racing Equipment Modified Nationals
wrapped up their month
long tours at Oakshade
Raceway Saturday night.
Forty-eight Late Model and
forty-five Modified drivers
gathered at the 3/8 mile
bullring for the big finale.
Moweaqua
Illinois
Shannon Babb entered the
final event with a 43 point
advantage over Ryan Unzicker and 45 points on
Brian Shirley. Also on the
line was the $10,000 going
to the winner of the 60-lap
16th Annual Birthday Race
Late Model feature event.
Mason Zeigler seemed like
a safe bet to win after a
strong showing the past
two nights picking up consecutive wins at Brushcreek and Attica. Zeigler
started the night off setting
the fast time with a lap of
14.654. The Uniontown,
Pennsylvania driver ended
up on the pole of the feature and led the first part
of the race. Last weeks
Oakshade feature winner
and last years Birthday
Race winner, Matt Miller
got by Jeep Van Wormer
by lap 10 to take over second and began to reel in
Zeigler. Miller caught Zeigler in lapped traffic and
used it to his advantage to
take over the race lead on
lap 15. A couple laps later,
Zeigler spun in turn one
while racing with Ryan Unzicker for the second position which brought out the
only caution period in the
race. Miller was able to pull
away from Unzicker after
the restart. Later in the
race, Babb made his presence known, pressuring
Unzicker for second. Millers lead began to shrink
just a bit toward the end,
but it was enough to win
his third Oakshade Raceway Birthday Race. He
joins Babb as the only two
drivers to have won this
event three times. Unzicker finished .759 seconds
behind Miller and Babbs
third place finish was more
than enough to lock up his
fourth DIRTcar UMP Summer Nationals title. Last
years Summer Nationals

champion, Brandon Sheppard finished fourth with

Van Wormer slipping back
to fifth.
Next up was the Summit Racing Equipment
Modified Nationals 25-lap
feature event. Brian Ruhlman made a daring move
at the start, going threewide with Taylor Cook
and Randy Lines to take
the race lead early. Ruhlman then proceeded to
check out on the rest of the
field. Matt Hamilton from
Aurora, Indiana began to
close in on Ruhlman late
in the race, but ran out
of laps. Hamilton ended
up finishing second, .936
seconds behind Ruhlman
in the caution-free race.
Jeff Babcock finished third
with Collin Thirlby fourth.
Josh Scott started 16th
and worked his way up to
a fifth place finish.
The Best Performance
Motorsports
Compacts
wrapped up a great night
of racing with their feature
event that started off with
some three-wide racing for
the lead. John Martis, Aaron Barrick and Brandon
Myers battled at the front
with Martis eventually settling in to the top spot by
lap two. A couple laps later
Barrick fell off the pace
and tried to limp back to
the pits, but didnt quite
make it and brought out
the yellow flag. Martis continued to lead Myers all the
way to the checkered flag.
It was the fourth feature
win of the year for Martis
who was also celebrating
a birthday. Last weeks
feature winner, Myers, finished second. Brogan Rehklau was third followed
by Cody Stetten and Matt
Brazeau.

threw a complete game for Pioneer, then

four runs in her own support. Knapp drove
in a pair while falling a dinger short of hitting for the cycle, and Hayes drove in another two with a double. Wildrick drove in
two runs, Pickford had a pair of singles,
and Allyson Hutchison had an RBI base
hit.

Underwood finished, allowing 3 runs, 2
earned.

singles for Hilltop and Abner was credited
