Waynesfield After a first week rainout at Waynesfield Motorsports Park, clear skies brought the racers to this Ohio clay oval on Saturday April 26th. Track owners Greg and Tammy Shobe were praised all night long for the excellent job done by the track prep crew. The racing surface was smooth, tacky, and super fast.
Throughout the night the races were run in a very timely fashion. After the three classes of cars completed their heat race portion of the night, a 20 minute intermission was taken so that the track crew could put the finishing touch on the racing surface before the start of the feature events. The 600cc mini-sprints were the first of the three classes of cars to take to the track for their Amain feature. As the racing began it looked to be a battle for the win between newcomer #23 Devon Dobie and veteran #26 Rod Henning. These two cars quickly set a fast pace to lead the race. Henning was finally able to gain the lead away from Dobie and pulled out to a three car length advantage. With only a few laps left in this feature, Hennings motor erupted with a giant cloud of smoke. The veteran mini-sprint driver did an excellent job of quickly getting his smoking car to the inside of the track and out of the way of the rest of the cars. The restart left #18 Todd Keen with only a couple of laps left to try to get by leader Devon Dobie. In the end, the 15 year old Dobie proved too strong to handle and went on to win his 1st ever mini-sprint feature at Waynesfield Motorsports Park.

Headed to Florida - Please Read - One of the racers headed to the Mini Sprint races in Florida in February informed us that if your truck and hauler(trailer) exceed 65 feet in length that a permit is required in the State of Florida. It apparently takes a little while to get this because it needs to be mailed to you. There is a website to check for an application www.fdotmaint.com . He said be sure to get a Blanket Application and indicate "hauling race cars" not just hauling cars.
