Wayne County Speedway
ORRVILLE, Ohio (April 25) - A sure sign dirt track racing is not only alive and well, but thriving in Ohio is the wealth of young talent that has recently taken center stage at Wayne County Speedway. Racing alongside some of the most well known names in the business, rising stars such as Ryan Eddleblute, Sheldon Haudenschild, Broc Martin, and Bryce Dickson are making their highly competitive presence well known. At only fifteen years old Cory Crabtree of London Ohio has broken into the next level by scoring his first feature win at WCS over veterans Troy Vaccaro, Tim Hunter, and Aaron Middaugh. Hunter timed in fastest while Danny Mumaw won the heat, but it was Cory Crabtree who led flag to flag in both the fast dash and main event. Although passing was at a premium on the slicked over racetrack, the AMSOIL sponsored 410 Sprinter found enough traction during the race to carry both front wheels off the ground at high speeds down the stretch.
In the Late Models, Corey Conley made it two in row at Wayne County; the Wellsburg WV driver passed David Liles early in the running and was never seriously challenged on his way to victory lane. Highlights of the race include an exciting high and low battle between Ryan Markham and Mark Gardiner battling for sixth, Jason Flory and Jeff Esbenshade battling into the top ten, and the relentless pressure Doug Drown applied to Rick Bond to fill the top five. Flory and Gardiner were both heat winners while Liles scored an impressive fast dash.
