BARRY HARRISON took home $120 Sunday night at the Mottville Speedway as he won the 20 lap Mini Stock feature by less than a car length over Merle Yoder! For Harrison it was his 3^rd feature win of the season. Rick Fritz was 3^rd followed by Eric Root and John Yoder.

Root won the Jenkins NAPA Auto Parts Stores dash over Merle and John Yoder and Harrison won the heat over Root and Fritz.

John Yoder moved to 5^th in the season point standings with Harrison moving to 8^th.

60 year old Richard Allbee moved into the Mini Thunder Car season points lead as he won a 15 lap feature over Tony Neering, Ryan Pineau, Mike Guthrie, Dean Hoskins and Gary Knight. In the 2^nd 15 lap feature it was Neering over Knight, Pineau, Allbee and Guthrie.

Hoskins won the dash over Dave Cressler and Knight and Neering beat Allbee in  the heat in a near photo finish!

Knight moved to 6^th in the season point standings with Hoskins moving to 7^th.

Tom Miller won the 30 lap Mottville Mini Cup feature over Rob Atkinson, Dave Kutz, Jerry Benson and Freeman Hochstetler. In the dash it was Atkinson over Miller and Benson and in the heat it was Miller over Atkinson and Kutz. The MMC cars will return on Sunday, September 7.

Larry Saunders won the street stock feature and heat and Kelsey Saunders won 2 Bomber 15 lap features and the heat.

Labor Day week-end is the final triple header week-end of the season at Mottville although regular Saturday and Sunday racing continues until the end of November. Saturday, its double elimination spectator drags, Sunday is autograph night and Monday is trophy night.

Once again we had 8 MTC and 6 MS! From what our MS drivers are telling me we should have a lot more MS soon! We are paying $100 to win with 5 or more cars, $125 with 12 cars and $150 with 14 cars! Plus with 6 or more cars heats pay $20 to win!

Weather wise this was probably our best week-end of the season! Upper 70’s to low 80’s both days and nice!

I would not be at all surprised to see 15-20 MTC before the season is over! We actually have almost that many running now but just not on the same night!  

Heard a lot of talk about the spectator drags for this Saturday! We put two cars on the track at one time for one lap. You have to be beat twice before you are out so you are guaranteed two races at least!

If you are looking for a MTC Terry Baldwin has a 6 cylinder front wheel drive race ready for $200! He has raced it about 2-3 times this season.

Things are definitely on the upswing at Mottville and we are about to head into our busiest part of the season! Historically September and October have always been our best two months of the season! So if you want to have some fun and see some great racing come to Mottville!

Nice to see our oldest driver, Mr., Richard Allbee, take over the points lead! Dick might be one of the oldest drivers ever in the state of Michigan to win a season points title!
