Bellaw, Flynn, and Reynolds Winners at NSS Before Rain Came | Heat races were run and three of the six feature races before Mother Nature began crying soft tears over the track. It was not a heavy rain but a steady drizzle and enough to make the cars slip and slide which is not good.
A.J. Currelli #128 won the heat race but it was the #77 Brian Bellaw who sat on the pole and won from the pole. Currelli did his best to try and pass Bellaw but Bellaw held strong and there was no getting by him. One Super Late Model showed up and he ran with the Lates coming in third. Following Bellaw to the checkers was #128 A.J. Currelli, #7 Mark Vandevender, #23 Joey Pletka and #11 Steve Redditt.
Jim "Hoot" Flynn did double duty winning both the heat race and the feature race. Flynn, who started on the pole for the feature race, quickly jumped to the lead. On the second lap of the race, the #3 Wayne Parker and #16 Justin Henderson touched sending Henderson spinning towards the frontstretch wall and Parker being towed off the track. Henderson was able to continue and restarted the race in the rear. Flynn still held the lead as the green was thrown again and as the mods were racing, the rain began to softly fall. The #2x Bobby Blake tried to pass Flynn but just could not get the steam to do so. Following Flynn to the checkers was #2X Bobby Blake, #16 Justin Henderson, #7 Mark Vandevender, #75 Don Keithly, #20 Ed Kuhel, #1 Jim Coverdale, and #44 Michael Urban.
The Mini Stock divison was up next but the program was switched and the Strictly Stocks took to the track. Three heats for the Strictly Stocks with #6 Joe Whittenton winning heat 1, #91 Todd Driscall winning heat 2, and #65s James Smith, Sr. winning heat 3. On the pole for their feature event was #66 Tim Edmundson but it was the #24 Kenny Marshall who quickly took the lead. Marshall held on until the #20 Justin Reynolds was able to make the pass and take away the lead. Following Reynolds to the checkers was #6 Joe Whittenton, #65 James Smith, #24 Kenny Marshall and #66 Tim Edmundson.
Tim "Missileman" McPhail won the heat race for the Mini Stocks.
Donnie Williams #111 won the heat race for the Sportsman.
Charlie Collins #23 won heat 1 for the Super Stocks, #2 Ron Whaley won heat 2 and Ted Head #27 won heat 3.
Next week, there will be double features for the Mini Stocks, Super Stocks, and Sportsman plus the Ed Meridith Memorial 100 Lap Modified race. Have an opinion on this story? Post a message on our Message Board! news@karnac.orgor send a letter to the editor!
