STEWART, Ohio (April 24) - Another strong field of 122 cars and summer-like weather graced Skyline Speedway Friday night where Jackson, Ohio native Racin' Jason Montgomery brought home the Late Model win and Waverly, Ohio's Aaron Higgins claimed the 410 sprint main. Jeremy Blake doubled up in the AMRA Modifieds and Pure Stocks, while Zach Kisner took the Four Cylinder main, and Will Holland the Mini-Wedges.
Audie Swartz took the lead on the first lap of the late Model main only to have veteran and defending track champ Larry Bond assume command one lap later. With Swartz low and Bond high the duo battled door-to-door to the seven-lap mark, when Billy Gullion brought out the first caution. The restart was reminiscent of Noah loading the animals on the arc; side-by-side, two-by-two last week's winner Ralph Withem and Larry Bond, and Jason Mongomery and Swartz all dueled for the top spot. Lap eleven saw Withem, Swartz, and Bond go three wide across the start-finish line. Shortly thereafter, Dan Morrison and Ronnie Mayle tangled on lap 15 putting a halt to the incredible fight for number one. Withem Was tagged as the last lap leader with Swartz pitted in second, Bond third, Montgomery fourth, and Chad Todd in fifth. Swartz bobbled, allowing Montgomery to leap frog to second. Rod Gibson had blasted into the top five, but was flagged for the caution on the next circuit. Montgomery and Withem battled intensely for the next five circuits, but on lap 21 the Jackson, Ohio native completed his charge from 12th to first taking the lead and marching on to the win. Following Montgomery's Team Gress/Wasserbach/Rocket across the line were Ralph Withem, Larry Bond, Audie Swartz, Nick Corbitt, Dan Morrison, Todd Smith, Chad Todd, Lynn Chapman, Marty Huntley, and Rod Gibson. Montgomery said in victory lane, "I knew I had to get a quick start. We started great, but then sort of planed out. Then on the last caution I found the right groove and was able to power by Ralph on the high side." Montgomery and Corbitt were tied for the hard charging award, each advancing ten positions in great runs.
