USAC MOPAR NATIONAL MIDGET CAR SERIES RACE RESULTS: LAWRENCEBURG CHEVROLET SPRINTS Coons finally takes Checkered at Lawrenceburg!
Jerry Coons Jr. had never visited victory lane in a sprint Car. The defending USAC National Sprint Car Champion was on hand at Lawrenceburg Speedway driving a USAC midget as well as the famous Hoffman Sprint Car on their home track. One could say Jerry had a relatively easy night in the sprint car as he went out and won his heat race, then started on the pole of the 25 lap feature and led every lap. Of course, it wasn’t that easy, but the “easy” assessment is not that far off. Coons, Jr. took the lead going into turn one, and pulled away from the rest of the field. Coon’s closest racing was lapping the back of the field when he made contact a couple different times with some of the lapped traffic. Behind Coons, Jr. the race for second was a good one. Joss Moffatt controlled the runner up spot for several laps before fading near the end to finish fifth. Levi Jones, who started back in row 5 was slicing and dicing through the field trying to catch Coons. Unfortunately for Jones, Coons had already built up the lead he needed to hold on and take the checkered flag. Jones finished second followed by Shane Hmiel, Brady Short, and Moffatt. 23 Lawrenceburg Chevrolet Sprint Cars were on hand and competed in the feature. Heat race winners were Coons, Jr., Shawn Westerfeld, and Joss Moffatt. The Lawrenceburg Chevrolet Sprint Cars will be back on the dirt next Saturday, June 20.
AMSA MINI SPRINTS JUNE 13, 2009 21 CARS Fasse wins #2 at The Burg! Scott Fasse was in victory lane in 2008 at Lawrenceburg, and once you win, it only makes you want to win again. It was not an easy win for Scott, but clearly one he earned. The Green flag would drop with all 20 AMSA mini-sprints set to take the green flag. When the race started, Ryan Broughton, who started on the outside of row 2 drove his way to the lead down the backstretch on lap 1. Several drivers followed Broughton closely around trying to wrestle the lead away from him. The first of these was Beau Stewart, who has been one of the faster mini-sprints week in and week out. Stewart was poised to take the lead away from Broughton but spun out, just as he was going underneath Broughton exiting turn 2. Stewart was able to continue, until crashing out a few laps later. The next couple of drivers to take their turns were Sam Ashworth, and Scott Fasse. They thrilled the crowd as they went high and low trying to get underneath Broughton. On lap 14, Fasse, got around Broughton bringing along Ashworth. Fasse and Ashworth raced hard all the way to the checkered flag to the delight of the fans. Ashworth pulled to the inside of Fasse on the white flag lap in turn 1, but got off the gas to avoid wrecking both himself and Fasse. With that, Fasse was able to hold on and win for the second time at the 3/8 mile Lawrenceburg Speedway. Fasse, and Gina Lowe were each heat race winners. The AMSA mini-sprints return to The Lawrenceburg Speedway on Wednesday, June 24 during The Dearborn County Fair.
