Ona results for May 3

Another awesome update from Ona Speedway for the May 3 Jones Excavating 150.

Attendance in the place was 402, which according to manager Scott Pierson is pretty spectacular for a night Late Models didn’t race.

Late Models will be back on May 17 for the River City Ford and Subaru 150.

Here is his rundown for the May 3 action:

·         We had 7 Sport Mods and 7 V6’s. These 2 classes each had 4 cars at most last season.  I’ve already talked to several drivers who plan on the May 17, being their first race in these classes. I fully expect a double digit car count in the Sport Mods next race.

·         Mike Christy and Brett Carey had one of the best battles I’ve seen at Ona in the Hobby Stock division.  After trading more than a little paint, Christy made a pass and prevailed in the end.

·         Joe Workman crossed the finish line first in the Ucar feature, but was stripped of the win when he pulled on to the scales too light, making Rick Watson our winner.

·         Jeromy Cooper made his first ever start in a Classic and finished 2^nd while running the fastest lap in the class at 20.712.

·         Nathaniel Edmunds made his first ever V6 start and finished 3^rd.

·         Track Announcer Hall Furrow gave away a bunch more free stuff from Sheetz again this week.  Thanks Sheetz!

·         Alaina Harvey had a group of about 30 little girls gathered around her Barbie car after the V6 race taking pictures and signing autographs.
