OMS Highlights Speedway News by Neil Strzelecki July 11th will be posted soon... July 4, 2008 Hoping everyone had a terrific 4th of July! Onaway Michigan jumps on the 4th and one of the weekend events is the race at the Onaway Motor Speedway. We enjoyed our largest car count of the year, even though several of our regular drivers chose not to race. We had drivers from the Kinross, Cherry, and Northern Michigan tracks visit our track as well as the NAMARA Formula Indy cars. One new driver hails from Belaire and her name is Alison Vanniman. She is 17 and drives in the 4 cylinder class. She started working on engines with her grandfather when she was 13 and on Friday she dedicated the night of racing to her grandfather who is in the hospital. A huge thank you to all the drivers that motored to OMS to put on a great show for all the great fans at OMS. Thank you drivers and fans for making the 4th very special! Speaking of special, Friday night turned out to be special for Tracy Prow. Tracy started out the night of racing winning the Dash in the Pure Stock Division. Ryan Radziewski took second and Keith Ronk took third. Prow repeated her winning ways winning the Aussie, Ryan took second, and Duane Bishop took third. Ray (Hard Luck) Magley made his first appearance since 2006 but his luck hasn't changed, He thought he had everything straightened on his car but on lap 2 of the Heat race he tangled with Prow and the yellow came out. A few laps later he got loose again and tangled with Bishop and Ronk causing Ronk to hit the pits. Magleys car is totaled and he says he will start building a new car. Prow went on to win her third race of the night winning the Heat race. Mic Pierie, making his first appearance of the year, took third, In the Feature Stan Chaskey got got loose in turns 1 and 2 on the first lap and ended up pitting. We then enjoyed a caution free Feature with Prow, Ryan, Nash, and Pierie running bumper-to- bumper and door-to-door for 20 laps. Prow did some excellent driving and held the guys off to win the Feature and capture her first sweep of the class. Ryan took second and Nash third. The 4-Cylinders had the largest car count of the night and Tom Jepson won the first Dash, Nathan Embry took second and Mark Tompkins took third. In the second Dash John Clawson was the winner, Mike Muckenthaler was second and Cindy Pierie took third. 17 year old Alison Vannimen took the Aussie, Jepsen was second and Chase Forshee took third. The first Heat Race was won once again by Vanniman, Jesper was second, and Forshee was third. Pierie led the first 2 laps of the 2nd Heat, then gave the lead up to Clawson. Muckentherler and Clawson raced bumper-to-bumper and door-to-door but Clawson held on for the narrow win. Muckentherler took second and Pierie took third. Muckenthaler took the Feature and Clawson and Pierie raced for second with Clawson taking second and Pierie third. In the final Feature for the 4-cylinders,Vanimann held the lead for 6 laps when Embry went low and Jesper went high sandwiching Vanniman in turns 3 and 4 forcing her into third. Embry won the Feature after racing door-to-door for the rest of the race. Jesper took second and Dan Lowshaw took third. In the Limited Class Casey Shimel took the Dash, Joe Offerman was second and Justin Schalk was third. The yellow flew on lap 6 when Ed Sorget and Shimel swapped a little paint in turn 3. Tim Schmidt, making his second long halul of the season from Bay City, led the first 6 laps when Offerman took over the lead. Offerman took the checkers, Schalk was second, and Schmidt took third. Schmidt led the first 5 laps of the Feature when Offerman passed on the upper groove for the lead. Sorget and Schmidt ran door-to-door for second. Schalk was putting an a charge for the front when he spun on lap 15 and lap 18 to bring out the yellow. Offerman took the win, Sorget, running one of the best Heat Races of the year, took second and Schmidt took third. Frank Pelky took the Dash in the Bombers ahead of Jerry Hinton, also making his first appearance of the year, and Paul Klien took fourth, Ken Werner took the lead on turn 1 of the first lap and drove on to win the Heat Race. Pelky was second and Klein third. In the Feature Klien went to the front and the lead early and was unchallenged the entire race. Rick Sankster and Pelky battled for twenty laps for second, with Werner joining them the last few laps. Sankster took second and Pelky third. The NAMARA cars put on a good show turning laps in the 13 second range. Thank you guys for once again coming to OMS! Thank you to all the drivers, OUR REGULARS and all the new drivers...we are looking forward to you coming back for some good racing!
POSTED June 29, 08 Race held on June 20, 2008 There is nothing like racing under a beautiful Northern Michigan sky, and that's what we had at the Onaway Motor Speedway Friday night. Randy Nash was back this week and started the night out winning the Dash in the Pure Stock class. Tracy Prow was second and fast qualifier Stan Chaskey was third. Prow lead the first 7 laps of the Heat Race until Chaskey finally made the pass on lap eight. Chaskey took the Heat Race and Nash won the sprint to the finish line, taking second from Prow by a fender. As usual the Feature was more nose-to-tail racing with Prow holding the lead for 14 laps. Nash was challenging for the lead when the old mechanical problems roared up again and Nash went to the pits. Lap 15 Chaskey took the lead and the eventual win. Prow and Ryan Radziewski battled for second with Prow once again losing second place by a couple of feet. Terry Bisson was back after a several week layoff and won the Dash in the Limited Class. Joe Offerman was second and Justin Schalk third. Schalk won the Heat unchallenged and the race was for second between Offerman and Bisson. The finish was Schalk, Offerman, and Bisson. The Feature was another exciting race with nose-to-tail and door-to-door racing. Schalk took the lead and Offerman tried everything he could to pass, but coundn't manage to pass. Offerman tried repeatedly to pass on the outside but Schalk always out-pulled him on the straights. Finally on the white flag lap Offerman went into turn 1 high and then went low into turn 2 getting below Schalk and took the lead. The race ended Offerman in first, Schalk in second and Bisson third. Zack Grey, from Honor, Michigan, took the Dash in the 4 Cylinders. Joe Boyd took second and Nathan Embry was third. Mark Thompson had mechanical problems and had to pit in the Heat Race. Grey took the Heat and Embrey took second. Boyd, in the 49 truck, was third. Embrey took the lead in the Feature and held Grey off for 10 laps but the 22 car was just too much for Embry and Grey took over the lead. Grey won the Feature and swept the class for the night. Embry was second and Boyd was third. In the Bombers Paul Klein took the Dash ahead of Frank Pelky and Ken Werner. Klein repeated his win in the first Aussie of the year for the Bombers, Pelky took second and Werner third. Chris Cole and Keith Tuck lead the field to the green flag, both running as rookies this year. Rich Sankster was running well in the Heat Race taking the lead on lap 1 but a few laps later he lost his transmission, and was out for the night. Werner and Pelky took over the lead racing door-to-door but they got loose in turn 2 allowing Klein to move in low and take over the lead. Klien won the checkers, Werner was second, and Pelky was third. The Feature was more door-to-door racing with Klein making the move down low to take the lead. Klein won the Feature making a clean sweep of the Bombers. Werner was second and Pelky third. Racing has been cancelled for June 27th due to so many cars having mechanical problems. We're hoping they will all be repaired for the July 4th race. Also the NAMARA Formula Indy Cars will be at Onaway Motor Speedway for their annual weekend of racing. See you on the fourth! Time trials will be at 4:00 and racing starts at 5:30...
