Saturday night at Waynesfield
Motorsports Park turned into "The night of the young guns." All three
feature racing events were won by teenagers. A fifteen year old and two
eighteen year old racers ended the night in victory lane. All three of
them competed with and beat racers with much more experience and twice
their age.
In mini-sprint action, 15 year old Devon Dobie got a front row starting
spot in the feature. Dobie grabbed the lead as the green flag flew and
looked to be on a mission to find victory lane. Jared Horstman quickly
moved up from his 3rd row starting spot and was trying to win his 3rd race
in a row at Waynesfield. When a caution flag waved, the field was bunched
up putting Horstman right on the rear bumper of Dobie. When the race
restarted, Horstman dove under Dobie heading into turn one and took the
lead position. Dobie stayed cool and calm by holding his line in the
middle groove of the racing surface. Within one lap Dobie had worked his
way back around Horstman and soon began to pull out to a small lead. The
longer the race went, the farther ahead Dobie worked. As the checkered
flags waved, Wapak Ohio's Devon Dobie beat Horstman and the rest of the
field by 10 car lengths. #9 Kevin Wills finished in 3rd place. Mini-sprint
heats were won by #4j Justin Meyers and #9 Kevin Wills.
