DROWN MOTORS TO FIRST SUPER LATE MODEL WIN AT HILLTOP SPEEDWAY

By Mike Swanger
Millersburg, Ohio - Warmer but windy conditions brought out another huge crowd and a big field of cars for the second night of racing at Wardell's Hilltop Speedway on Easter Egg Hunt night for the kids. Wooster's Doug Drown started on the pole with Jeremy Canada along side and for the first six laps they would lead the way for the Super Late Model feature. Some aggressive driving would bring out the caution on four of the next five laps as Charlie Duncan and Chester Elliott on laps seven and eight with Ty Myers and Doug Dodd mixing it up on lap nine to knock both of them to the pits. J.R. Gentry was battling for fourth place with D.J. Cline and last weeks winner, Ryan Markham with Gentry causing the caution on lap ten. Things settled down at that point with the Wooster Glass, DJ Miller Directional Services, Malcuit Engines no.12 starting to pull away with Canada still in pursuit. A hot race for third was going on with Cline, Markham and Bryan Casey running fender to fender. Markham takes third from Cline with ten laps to go. The final caution with four circuits to go came out for a stopped Dave Hornikel, bunching the field back together. Drown would sprint out on the restart to secure his first win of the year as Canada held off Markham for second as Casey slipped by Cline on the restart to claim fourth. Drown, Canada and Gentry paced the heat races with Casey claiming the dash and Kristin Flory grabbing the last chance win. Cline was the fast qualifier.
