MILLERSBURG, Ohio (April 10) - Another big crowd saw 105 race cars in the pits at Hilltop Speedway on a beautiful but cool night that was full of close racing. Bryan Casey led the pack of Super Late Models to the green flag and set the pace for the opening three circuits as fourth starting Lance Elson used the extreme high groove to move into second on lap three then blew by Casey on the next lap for the lead. From then on, only caution flags would slow down the Wellsburg, WV driver and his Unique Walls & Ceiling, Competition Sportswear, and Mack's Inc. #17e. Behind him was a real battle for second as Casey, Dave Hornikel, fast qualifier Charlie Duncan and second heat winner,Shane McLoughlin went bumper to bumper for second place. Following a caution for Cody Smith on lap 12, Casey and Hornikel tapped together in turn two that allowed both McLoughlin and Duncan to take second and third. As Hornikel used the high side to get by Casey on the next lap, he closed in on Duncan and pulled alongside and at the flagstand they squeezed together and sent Hornikel into the turn one guardrail ending his night on the very next lap. On the restart, McLoughlin tried the low groove to challenge Elson for the top spot but Elson was dialed in with high groove and won by a straightaway. Tenth starting Cody Parker came on strong late in the race to take third from Duncan with two laps to go as Casey hung on to fifth. JR Gentry won the first heat.
Saturday, April 17th will have the Sprint Cars in for the first time this year as the Super Late Models, Modifieds, Street Stocks, Mini Stocks and the Mini Wedges will also be on the racing card as the Mini Trucks take the night off at Hilltop Speedway. Gates open at 4 p.m, Hot Laps at 6 p.m and the green flag dropps at 7: 30 p.m.
