Waynesfield Motorsports Park

The 600cc mini-sprints were thrilled to race for an increased purse provided by B-rad Racing Supply. Jared Horstman has been the man to beat this season in the mini-sprint class. This weeks racing would proove much the same as Horstman quickly powered to the front of the field and never looked back. #92 Sam Ashworth did a great job by running in 2nd place and keeping Horstman within his sights. Another strong run was turned in by Gary Loney as he finished with another 3rd spot. Mini-sprint heats were won by Horstman and Devon Dobie.

8/1/08 Union County Speedway 1000/1200 Exhibition Race

Despite a low car count of just nine 1200/1000cc mini sprints, the Friday evening event at Union County Speedway was considered a success.  The newly renovated track and facility proved a good fit for the mini sprints as there was good racing throughout the small field.  In the end it was Hud Horton taking the victory followed by Dustin Hueston and Kenny Burr to round out the top three.  Hueston and Burr had a spirited battle throughout the race with Hueston eventually securing the second spot.  The evening also provided an excellent opportunity for several of the ’08 crop of mini sprint rookies to gain some extra seat time while going wheel-to-wheel.  First time driver Kyle Baugh got his feet wet in a borrowed mini sprint coming home in fourth place.  John Race came home in fifth place.  Evan Gindling, Seth Wilkerson and Michael Willis all looked strong trading spots throughout the evening.  The paper clip shaped 3/8 mile track delivered an excellent racing surface for the entire evening.  Promoter Tom Wieck enjoyed having the cars at the track and commented that he would definitely like to see them back in 2009.
