DON WALLACE returned to the Mottville Speedway for the first time in 3 years Saturday night and went on to win the 20 lap Mini Stock feature over season points leader Eric Root, Jesse Gaylord and leading rookie Glenna Sargent!

Gaylord won the dash over Root and Sargent while Root took the heat over Gaylord and Wallace.

Charley Krontz won his 8^th Street Stock feature of the season with a 20 lap victory over season points leader Robert Sutton, Willie Wallace, Mike Mersich and Bryan Calkins. In the Jenkins NAPA Auto Parts Stores dash it was Mersich over Sutton and Krontz and in the heat it was Krontz over Sutton and Mersich.

Shelly Lauderdale won her first powder puff ever as she just barely held off Rita Courtney for the win in the 12 lapper with Judith Holden 3^rd. Many thanks to the Sargents and Josh West for loaning their cars for the powder puff!

Mini Thunder Car season points leader Derk Sargent padded his points lead by winning the 12 lap feature and heat while Bomber season points leader Josh West on the heat and 12 lap feature.  David Simpson came to Mottville for the first time ever and won the kart heat and 12 lap feature.

We really caught a break on the weather! We had showers in the morning and afternoon and the last shower passed through about 45 minutes before we opened! But that was it and the sun came out and it was a beautiful night for racing! We tied our season high with 5 street stocks and our adult crowd in front also tied a season high thanks to an area track canceling! After the last shower the track dried very rapidly due to heat and the track was dry to hot laps and racing with no problem!  We also registered 4 new cars on the night! Plus Mersich and Gaylord returned after long absences!

The next powder puff is September 6 and the last one for this season is October 5 unless we make some schedule changes!

So two nights down and one to go in this triple header week-end! Sunday is a regular show with Pro Stocks joining the field. Weather forecast is picture perfect so should be a great night of racing!  Then we come back next Friday and start another triple header week-end with street stocks going 50 laps for $250 to win followed by the Mottville Mini Cups on Saturday and kids riding in the race cars on Sunday, July 6.

In the point standings Mersich moved to 8^th in SS and Gaylord moved to 13^th just one point shy of 11^th!
