May 8, 2016

Busti, NY (May 7, 2016): Under threatening weather Stateline Speedway by LiteHouse Auto opened with a full card of seven classes with the Overhead Door of Jamestown Super Late Models running a thirty lap feature for $2500 to win. At the end of the night Max Blair (Overhead Door of Jamestown Super Late Models) lapped up to fourth place in an exhibition of brute speed, Wyatt Scott collected his first-ever Shults Auto Group RUSH Crate Late Model win, David Scott (Wyatt’s Father) collected the laurels at the conclusion of the Sugar Grove Beverage Outlaw E-Mod feature, Justin Carlson reigned supreme in the first-ever (anywhere) Rusted Nutz Pro-Mod feature event, Gary Fisher led flag-to-flag in the Fox’s Pizza Street Stock finale, defending Hime Auction Super Sportsmen champion Dan Nocero Jr started his title defense with a win, and defending Bailey’s Towing and Recovery Super Challengers champion Andy Proper prevailed in his feature.

The Fox’s Pizza Street Stocks were the first feature of the new season with Gary Fisher and Brad Church, both veterans of the Street Stocks, leading the 18-car field to Spanky Hall’s double green flags. Fisher led lap one with Church second and Bill Reeves third. At two laps in Reeves was second. On lap four Kyle Wilacher spun into the infield was went a lap down to the leaders before he was able to rejoin the field. At seven laps complete Wes Vallentine spun in traffic, bringing yellow over the field for the first time. Fisher, Reeves, Church, Dave Shagla, and Sam Courson brought the field back to green but Tony Marotto, Jason Black, and Pat Fielding piled up in turn two, again bringing caution over the event. On the next green Brian Crandall spun in turn two, stalling on the racing surface and yet again slowing the field. With five laps remaining Shagla was up to second and challenging for the lead. As the field took the two lap signal Courson again spun, again bringing out yellow. At the while flag Reeves came back to second. Fisher took the checkers with Reeves second, Shagla third, Brad Church fourth, and Bill Best fifth.

The Himes Auction Super Sportsmen started their fifteen lap finale with former champions Ted Kosinski and Dan Nocero Jr on the front row with Kosinski leading the way. On lap two Matt Kosinski came to a halt in turn four, slowing the event under yellow. After green again flew only one lap was scored before Shane Horner spun in turn four, again slowing the race. Kosinski again led the field to green with five laps complete when third running Steve Longo looped his mount in turn four, collecting Mike Kosinski and Matt Kosinski. Mike Genco and Tommy Kosinski both looped in turn one after green. On lap eight Nocero got next to the leader on the back stretch but fell back in turn four. Nocero kept at it and was the leader when caution few after Tom Kosinski spun with four laps to go. Nocero, the defending class champion, handily led the final laps for his first win of the season. Ted Kosinski held on for second with Mike Kosinski third, Steve Longo fourth, and Tommy Kosinski fifth.

Rich Gardner and Steve Kania brought the Overhead Door of Jamestown Super Late Models to green with Gardner leading lap one, Kania leading lap two then Gardner back to the lead a lap later. When the first caution fell at lap four Gardner was the leader with Max Blair second and Kania third. David Scott and Chris Hackett filled out the top five. At green Blair quickly sped to the lead but Ward Schell, Jake Finnerty, and John Volpe came together hard on the back straight, bring a red flag over the field. All drivers were ok and the cars again took the green with Max Blair immediately assuming the lead over Gardner, Scott, Chad Valone, and Hackett. On lap nine Scott got by Gardner for second with Valone and Hackett getting by a lap later. With twelve laps in Blair had a quarter lap lead over Scott and was dicing his way through lapped traffic. With ten to go the order was Blair, Scott, Hackett, Valone, and John Lobb. At the checkers Blair had a half lap advantage over Scott with Hackett, Valone, and Lobb filling out the top five. Only four cars were on the lead lap at the end of the thirty laps. Blair collected $2500 for winning the first Super Late Model feature of the 60^th Anniversary Season.

The Sugar Grove Beverage Outlaw E-Mods had Troy Carr and Kirk Bradley on the front row with Carr leading the way from the drop of the green. David Scott quickly came to second but then fell behind defending champion Greg Johnson. By halfway the order was Carr, Johnson, Scott, Kirk Bradley, and Butch Southwell. At lap twelve Scott got a great run off turn two and got by both Johnson and Carr. Johnson nearly got back to the lead on lap fourteen but slipped in turn two and fell back behind Carr for a lap until regaining second. At the finish Scott was the winner with Johnson second, Carr third, Butch Southwell fourth, and Michael McGee fifth.

The Shults Auto Group RUSH Crate Late Models started their feature with Wyatt Scott and Andy Boozel on the front row. Scott led lap one with Boozel half a length back. At halfway the order was Scott, Scott Gurdak, Ryan Scott, Boozel, and David Lyon. With two laps remaining caution flew when rookie Robert Meacham III spun into the turn one wall. For the final two lap dash it was Scott, Ryan Scott, Andy Boozel, David Lyon, and Scott Gurdak. Wyatt Scott went on to his first feature win after his cousin Ryan Scott got next to him at the restart but was unable to compete the pass. Dave Lyon got by Boozel for third and Gurdak wound up fifth.

Justin Carlson led the very first Rusted Nutz Pro-Mod feature anywhere from the drop of green with Kelly Frederes second. Caution flew at four laps complete when Brian Mohawk spun in turn four. The rest of the race was all green with Carlson gaining the historic win over Kelly Frederes, Scott Gurdak. Jason Covey, and Dennis Asel.

The final event of the first event of the 60^th Anniversary Season was the Bailey’s Towing and Recovery Challengers. Pete Volpe and Todd Hanlon brought the field to green with Hanlon leading through lap three with defending champion Andy Proper right behind. Proper, the defending champion, was the leader at the end of six laps. With two laps remaining Lindsey Carlson slapped the wall just out of turn four, bringing yellow over the speedway. Proper then went on to begin his title defense with his first win of the season. Dana Haner got by Hanlon with one lap remaining when he experienced a flat tire and headed pitside.
