Limaland Motorsports Park
Klay, Nusbaum, and Griffith each pick up their second wins of the season at Limaland
Limaland Motorsports Park roared back to action after a scheduled week off with Meet The Drivers Night presented by Stolly Insurance Group. A great crowd witness some of the best racing of the season as No. 17J Jarrod Klay picked up the Lock Sixteen Thunderstock feature win, No. 17N Dillon Nusbaum won the Midwest Shooting Center DIRTcar UMP Modified A Main, and No. 11G Luke Griffith won the NRA Sprint Invader feature event. It was the second feature win for each of the 3 drivers on the 2023 season at Limaland
The Lock Sixteen Thunderstocks kicked off A Main action in their 15 lap feature. No. 27 Frank Paladino and No. 28V Shawn Valenti led the field to green with Paladino grabbing the early lead. Jarrod Klay found some traction up on the high side of the race track early, and charged to the point. UNOH Racer Brayden Weller also took a liking to the top of the racetrack and used it come forward from his 10th starting position in the UNOH No. 11. No. 18 Brendan Rassel charged to 2nd on lap 10 and did all he could to try and get around Klay, but Klay would hold on to pick up an emotional victory over Rassel. No. 22T Tony Anderson, Valenti, and Weller completed the top 5.
Next up were the Midwest Shooting Center DIRTcar UMP Modifieds in their 20 lap feature, with No. 463 Daniel Sanchez and No. 17N Dillon Nusbaum bringing the field to the initial green flag. Sanchez would lead into turns 1 and 2, but Nusbaum was quick to charge to the lead. No. 114 Clayton Bryant from Yoder, IN made his way to the 2nd position on lap 3 and would battle with Nusbaum briefly, before Nusbaum pulled away. No. 57 Jeffrey Jessup would bring out the only caution flag, spinning his car while moving high out of the groove as the leaders approached. Nusbaum would pull away with the lead on the restart and pick up the win over Bryant, No. 22T Tony Anderson beat No. 9C Troy Cattarene by a nose for third, as Cattarene would finish fourth, with No. 25 Josh Lolmaugh just nipping defending track champion Todd Sherman at the line for fifth.
Completing the nights racing were the NRA Sprint Invaders under the banner of the Great Lakes Super Sprints. No. 11G Luke Griffith and No. 7C Phil Gressman would make up the front row for the 25 lap feature, with Griffith grabbing the early lead. In a green to checkered feature event, the action was hot and heavy throughout the race with the leaders hitting lapped traffic on lap 10. Gressman would pull off a big slide job in turns 3 and 4 to grab the lead for a moment, as Griffith would cross over to regain the lead. No. 17 Jared Horstman would use the same maneuver on Gressman, but both drivers got snookered by No. 22H Randy Hannagan who was able to slip by on the inside and set his sights on race leader Griffith on lap 11. No. 24 Kobe Allison enjoyed a tremendous run, battling with Hannagan in the closing laps for the second position. In the end Griffith would pick up his second win of the season over Hannagan, Allison, Horstman, and Gressman.
