Martz masters the Monster in a thrilling Ed Laboon Memorial! $2,017 PPMS winner!
7/11/15 by Vince Laboon
Rusty Martz claimed the biggest win of his career last night at the 4th annual Ed Laboon Memorial. Martz was finally able to claim the $2,017 prize after strong showings of 2nd and 3rd in his last two attempts. An impressive field of 51 SUNOCO Sportsman cars was on hand for the 3rd event of the Penn Ohio Pro Stock Series. Christian Schneider set fast time for the event, with the top 26 cars within one second of each other in qualifying! The 6 heat race winners were Christian Schneider, chassis guru Chris Schneider, Lernerville regular Corey McPherson, making his first appearance in his Sportsman car, Martz, Dave McManus, and 2013 Ed Laboon Memorial winner Jeff Broniszewski.
The fast dash consisting of the 6 heat winners determined the starting line-up for the race, with Christian and Chris Schneider setting the front row. The two B mains added Ricky Steigerwald, Jamie Duncan, A.J. Poljack, and Rush Crate veteran Justin Lamb, who was piloting the #23 normally driven by David Ostrander.
Christian Schneider quickly set the pace from his pole position, with Chris Schneider and Rusty Martz in tow. Dave McManus lost the handle in turn one on lap 3, collecting the 965 of Andy Buckley, the 68X of Danny Rich, the 66 of Tim Burns, and 2014 winner Curt Bish, who had quickly moved from 13th to 8th in just 3 laps. McManus and Bish were able to continue. During the caution, Jeff Broniszewski was able to pit for a flat tire and return to the field.
Christian Schneider then set the pace for the next handful of laps, stretching the lead over Chris Schneider only to have several cautions continue to bunch the field back up. For the next ten laps, Schneider would lead Chris Schneider, Martz, Steve Dapolito, and McPherson. On lap 14, the two leaders started to approach lap traffic, and tragedy would strike the pair. The 67J of Jamie Duncan broke a rear control arm which sent him sideways entering turn 3, collecting both Schneiders in the process. Dapolito would also have to pit with a flat right rear tire. Christian Schneider was done for the night.
This gave the lead to Martz, with McPherson closely behind. A caution on lap 18 would set up a 2 lap shootout for the $2,017 to win prize, with McPherson chasing a $500 bonus to win the race with a Rush Crate legal engine. Martz went on to hold off McPherson by .233 seconds at the line, with hard charger Wayne Carbo coming from 22nd to 3rd, first time visitor Brian Rhed 4th and Penn Ohio Series founder Shaun Hooks 5th. Inaugural winner Bob Schwartzmiller was 6th, Bish was able to rebound from 17th to 7th, Broniszewski came from 28th to 8th, Chris Schneider rebounded from his crash to claim 9th, and Dapolito came back from his flat to round out the top 10.
The Dobs Auto non-qualifiers race will be made up as part of the next Penn Ohio Series event on Saturday August 8th, which will be a 20 lap, $1,000 to win, $100 to start, no entry fee show. All drivers in attendance who did not make the A main will be eligible for the Dobs race; those choosing not to return will still receive their $100 tow money.
