Limaland Motorsports Park
Anderson wins his 4th Keysor Memorial, Dussel picks up Kahle Jr Memorial feature, Cattarene gets 1st Modified win and Rassel picks up 2nd Thunderstock
After being plagued with weather issues and freak power outages the past several weeks, everyone held their breath at Limaland Motorsports Park on Friday night, but the only action was on the racetrack as all divisions put on a tremendous show for the attending fans. No. 22T Tony Anderson picked up his 4th Keysor Memorial victory by winning the makeup feature that was started on June 2. Gibsonburg, Ohio’s Nate Dussel picked up the 25 lap NRA Sprint Invader feature honoring the memory of Ron Kahle Jr., The Midwest Shooting Center DIRTcar feature saw a first time winner in No. 9C Troy Cattarene, and the regular Lock Sixteen Thunderstock feature was won by No. 18 Brendan Rassel.
Kicking off racing action were the Lock Sixteen Thunderstocks with the final 13 laps of last weeks 21st Keysor Memorial feature. Tony Anderson led when the lights went out, and he led when the checkered flag flew, winning his 4th career Keysor Memorial feature. Anderson thanked the fans and mentioned 1990 Limaland Stock Car champion Bobby Keysor in victory lane, as Bobby encouraged Tony to get behind the wheel of his own race car 30 years ago. Anderson would win over Woonsocket South Dakota’s Brendan Rassel who tried multiple times to get by Anderson to no avail. 2018 Keysor Memorial Champ No. 74 Craig Dippman was 3rd, No. 17J Jarrod Klay was 4th, and UNOH Racer Sean Verwys finishd fifth in the UNOH No. 11.
Starting off the regularly scheduled program were the NRA Sprint Invaders. The 25 lap feature would go green to checkered with No. 1 Nate Dussel putting on a clinic, winning by a full straightaway over 2nd place No. 17 Jared Horstman. No 71H Max Stambaugh would come home 3rd, with No. 22M Dan McCarron 4th and Lindsay Oklahoma’s Harli White rounding out the top five in the Ed Neumeister owned No. 11N.
Next up were the Midwest Shooting Center DIRTcar UMP Modifieds in their 20 lap feature. No 9C Troy Cattarene and No. 57 Jeffrey Jessup would bring the field to the green flag with Cattarene taking the early race lead. Churubusco Indiana’s Todd Sherman moved all over the track in his Vision Hmoz sponsored No. 65 but couldn’t find the line to run Cattarene down. An emotional Cattarene dedicated his first career Limaland Modified victory to his Dad and asked the fans to say a prayer as his Dad prepares for triple bypass surgery. Sherman would finish second, with No 22T Tony Anderson third, No. 36 Brandon Vaughan 4th, and No. 16 Jeff Koz completing the top 5.
The Lock Sixteen Thunderstocks would bookend the night with their second feature event. No. 74D Craig Dippman, and No 28V Shawn Valenti would lead the field to green but it was No. 18 Brendan Rassel powering his way to the front on lap 3 and going on to survive multiple caution flags to win his second Lock Sixteen Thunderstock feature of the year. Dippman would finish second after battling side by side nearlhy the whole race with third place finisher Valenti. No. 7W Dan Wooten would finish fourth and No. 82 Chris Douglas would finish fifth.
