Shadow Report - June 12, Mobil Striping and Sweeping night. LMs, Trucks, Mods

Shadowracer · 2009-06-13T02:32:20Z

Howdy all! Well the night came to us with nary a thunder cloud in sight, and it was time to go racing. Good crowd, and a really really smokin field of Late Models.Lots of racing tonight, so here we go.....Demar Aggregates TrucksHeat 1 We were introduced to the replacement driver for the 97 truck, Dave Silverthorne Jr, who started in the 4th spot. CRO poster 99-Koricina starts on the point and stays there while the battle for 2nd is between 7-Clark and Silverthorn. 1st to Koricna, 2nd to Silverthorn and 3rd to Clark.Heat 2 Starts off with a drag race between 77-Zagaorodny and 01-Bloemendal. Bloemendal wins the battle, 82-Demelo has some serious mechnaical trouble taking him out of the running, and Bloemendal wins it with 75-Depuis in 2nd and 88-Fothergill in 3rd.Truck Feature Starts 9-Thompson on the pole with 16-Hosang alongside. Hosang takes the early lead while Thompson and 4-Thompson battle for 2nd, a battle that lasts a few laps and allows Hosang to develop a pretty good lead. 4-Thompson wind the battle for 2nd and soon Koricna's into 3rd. On the 5th lap, 00-Johns starts putting up a smokescreen and soon 11-Kirchner is up against the fence in 3 to bring out the yellow, and removing Hosang's lead.At the restart, 56-Showler, who'd been stalking Hosang and reeling her in before the caution, makes his move for 1st, but while the two battle, Bloemendal slips on by the both of them. At this point, 88-Fothergill is in the wall in 3 to bring out a caution. they go back to the order of the last lap completed, and Hosang restarts at the front again. Heartbreaker for Hosang as she has a tire go down on the restart to take her out of the running. Now its Bloemendal out front, Showler in 2nd, and a three way fight for 3rd between Zagarody, 4-Thompson and 33-McDonald (might've been Rijnen too)Now Fothergill's back out, but having a bad time, sort of limping around the racetrack. There's another caution that sees 4-Thompson and 75-Depuis around in 3-4, and this sets up the final run. Bloemendal and Showler are leaving everyone behind now, and the real race is for 5th between Silverthorn and Johns, which Johns gets the better of. There's a little last lap entertainment for 6th when Silverthorn and Depuis wage a private war, bouncing off each other a number of times, and continuing to bounce off of one another on the cool down lap too.1st to Bloemendal, 2nd to Showler, 3rd to Zagarodny, 4th to the 33, 5th to Johns Powerade ModifiedsHeat 1 sees a good fight between 70-Saunders and 57-Brooks. Brooks comes out ahead with the win (score 1 for the Nilestown Speedway rugrat club ;)), Saunders in 2nd, and 24-Richmond in 3rd.Heat 2 Sees 39 McCullough win it, back from a wall-hit last week and looking none the worse for wear. 2nd to 3-Cox, and 3rd to 1-NewmanModified FeatureStarts just like the first heat race with Brooks on the point with Richmond alongside. Brooks luck doesn't go the same way though, and soon Cox is out front and putting in some distance. McCullough is a distant 2nd, and the real race is for third between Limon, Shipway, Newman and Brooks. Shipway get the better end of that battle. In the last half of the race, they get spread out and there's no change in the order. This one was a bit of a yawner, but it happens sometimes.1st to Cox, 2nd to McCullough, 3rd to Shipway, 4th the Newman and 5th to Limon.APC Late Models Feature 1You heard it here folks - At least 28 cars started. I had the count at 30...but unfortunately I can't say with 100 percent certainty. Regardless, there was a pile of Late Models on the track. 20-Lindsay jumps to an early lead with 02-Watson in 2nd, and 38-Hooker and 14-Emery side by side for 3rd. There's a caution on lap 4 when 18-Weirsma goes around in turn 2, and on the restart, Hooker, who's hot tonight, goes in deep on the outside and is now drag racing Watson for 2nd. Another caution flies as 4 cars go around together in turn 2, 91-McGillvray, 2-Stewart, 5-Delisle and 14 Emery. Emery cant get it fired and goes back on the hook.So now at the restart, its Lindsay, Watson, Hooker, 52-Sheridan and 10-Kennedy forming up the lead pack and beginning to distance themselves. Sheridan's frisky tonight, managing to get around Hooker, then battles Watson for 2nd. Lindsay, Watson and Sheridan begin to pull away, but now 10 Kennedys up at the front of the 2nd line and reeling in the leaders. On lap 20 the caution is out again for 27-Box who's up against the wall in 3. Its also at this point we notice 49-Clark sitting on pit road with a flat tire, and not doing much of anything.Now after this restart 15-Matthews seems to die off and its everything he can do to just get out of the way. At this point 28-Robblee is up to 6th and knocking on Kennedy's door. Knocks him a little too hard and now Kennedy's around and pointing the wrong way. Caution.At the retart, the order shakes out to Lindsay, Watson, Sheridan, Robblee, ...

You know, after I replied to chassisdynamic's post regarding rookies, I realized that Mark Watson would be leading that particular race. But I check the rosters and it doesn't look like Mark is designated as a Late Model rookie.

I only remember him in modified before this year. Is this a mistake or is he actually not classed as a rookie? Work kept me from the track for 80% of last season...so maybe I just missed something...either that or my 40 year old brain is just not firing on all 8.

Can anyone chime in on this?

Watson made one and only one start in a Late Model in 2008, and that was in the 300 on Labour Day. Should be a rookie.

You don't need to be a rookie if you can demonstrate that you have appropriate experience. His time in the modifieds would more than quailify him to run the Late Models.
He could run as a rookie but would need to start the first three races at the back to be considered for Rookie of the Year. That would put a kink in your points if you wanted to take a run at the top.

somebody calls that a driver???
Great job Shaddow!
Nice to see a driver in the 97!!

speaking of the trucks i see the 01 truck only received 64 points ( did he not win the feature?), did he not get through tech? ( I left around 11, any ideas as to what happened)
