GLENNA SARGENT won the first ladies powder puff in several years at the Mottville Speedway on a cool, breezy and dark Saturday night!

Sargent, a rookie in the Mini Stock this season with 9 nights of racing experience, was allowed to run one powder puff and she won the 12 lapper easily over first timers Shelly Lauderdale and Judith Holden!

Street Stock season points leader Robert Sutton won his 6^th feature of the season with a 12 lap victory over Mike Mersich. Results were the same in the heat.

Mini Stock season points leader Eric Root won his 5^th feature of the season with a 12 lap win over leading rookie Glenna Sargent with heat results the same. Sargent moved into 3^rd in the season point standings.

Two time Mini Thunder Car defending season points champion Fred Garrett passed Richard Allbee on the final lap of the 15 lap MTC feature to win his 14^th feature of the season and move within 8 points of season points leader Derk Sargent who finished 3^rd. Results were the same in the heat.

Ike Sloop and Tim Kurts put on a tremendous show in the kart heat and feature with passing every lap before Sloop won his 4^th feature of the season in a 12 lapper and Kurts won the heat, passing Sloop in a daring move coming out of turn 4!

Had an email from Mottville Mini Cup season points leader John “The Outlaw” Hackler asking if the MMC could race Monday. So they may well join the field for Monday’s show!

We installed two new windows in the ticket-pit pass booth Thursday and they really look terrific! Makes the building look very modern as this is usually the first building people see when entering the speedway this is most important! Richard Allbee did a nice job installing the windows!

 Happy birthday today to our pit stewart Tom Pearson. I know it was less than a perfect birthday for Tom as he has a splinter in his eye and has to have surgery Tuesday to have it removed!

Sunday is autograph night and the cars and drivers will come to the front stretch before the races start to sign autographs for about 20 minutes. Racing will then start at 6:30 Michigan time.

Monday is a trophy night with trophies going to all dash and heat winners and top 3 in the features for SS, Pro Stocks, MS, MTC, Karts and possible MMC will also be hand so it should be a big, big night of racing at Mottville!

Seems hard to believe it's Memorial Day week-end already especially with the very cool weather! Usually you figure it will be about 80 around Memorial Day! But it is supposed to warm up some for Sunday and even more for Monday!

The next powder puff is June 28 and if we can find her a car to drive Rita Courtney will join at least Shelly and Judy in racing! The more the merrier!

Also before you know it June 27 will be here and first of several Friday night specials! The first one has the MS running 50 laps for $250 to win!

One night down in our first triple header week-end of the season and I am eager for night two Sunday night!
