WELSHAN HANDLES AX..... DEJA VU WITH SPOOKY 6th VICTORY at CLEVELAND

by Steve Hixson
Cleveland, TN (4/28/12) - Deja vu??? Well kinda... Certainly Jason Welshan of Maryville, Tennessee and the FLYIN' WELSHAN BRIGADE must be having this "experience of a current situation, even though the exact circumstances of a prior encounter" since the worn green/black #29 Hidden Hollow Motorsports car dubbed "Spooky" has racked up "back to back to back to back" victories in the past two weeks. Saturday night Welshan in his "B&M Concrete, Competition Racing Equipment, Ronald Sexton Construction, Centerline Construction, Bearden Oil, Hicks & Law Insurance, Jon's Golf-Carts, Smith's Auto Repair, Schenfeld Headers, Stealth Racing Carburators, Outlaw Graphix, Harrison Concrete, Bob Cat of Knoxville/Chattanooga, The Half-Barrel, Bearden Fieldhouse, Shorty Shocks Service, Mighty Muffler, Bakers Transmission" sponsored MasterSbilt / Bill Bunch powered Cindy & Roger Kerr, Gary Rolfe owned machine took another flag to flag 30 lap Late Model feature as the 2012 FULL THROTTLE Points began at Cleveland Speedway. Welshan had to shake off Fast Qualifier Jimmy Elliott at the start and then keep, previous winner The Ax Kevin Gibson from chopping an end to his winning streak that stands at 4 in-a-row and 6 overall this season. Unfortunately for pole sitter Elliott the night wouldn't end like it began as Jimmy "J" and "The Big Red Machine" Brian Pritchard would crash and collect Jerry Coffman. Behind Gibson was former Track Champion Lil' John Ownbey, The Man in Black James Gamble and Tanner Works. "I get real fired-up when the team is like this... Makes me get-up on the wheel and drive even harder" stated Welshan after the race. Fans wishing to follow the team, can look up Jason Welshan Racing on the social media web-site FACEBOOK and send him a friends request.
