Jamison, Partin, Bretz, Strickland and Nichols Conquer Brushcreek on Opening Night
(Peebles, Ohio) After suffering the disappointment of last weeks rain out, competitors and fans were treated to a bright sunny day in the southern Ohio area this week. As the warm Saturday afternoon faded into the cool night the racing action heated up on the 1/3 mile Peebles, Ohio speed plant. Jenera, Ohio's Clint Jamison took the late model feature win. Peebles, Ohio's Dave Jamison drove his Lightning Chassis to the modified feature win. Peebles, Ohio's Tom Partin collected the legend feature win. Maysville, Kentucky's Jeremie Bretz claimed the bomber feature win. Oak Hill, Ohio's Mike Strickland drove his Oldsmobile Calais to the chevette/4 cylinder feature win. While Peebles, Ohio's Matt Nichols claimed the win in the Trophy 4 cylinder dash and the enduro race.
Mike Myers and Marty Huntley brought the late model feature field to the green. Huntley jumped out to the early lead only to have the pace slowed by several early cautions. Huntley would begin to stretch his lead after a lap 5 caution for Terry Smart who rolled to a stop on the front stretch. Huntley appeared to have the race in hand when he rolled to a stop in turn four ending his night prematurely. With Huntley gone, eventual winner Clint Jamison inherited the lead and never looked back. Following Jamison across the line were Scott Edmisten, Weasel Rhoads, Mike Myers, and Bryan Hurron rounding out the top 5.
Greg Anderson and Tony Dehart brought the modified feature field to the green. Anderson jumped out to the early lead over Dave Jamison. As Anderson and Jamison battled for the lead the rest of the field battled three and four wide. Jamison was able to slide by Anderson on lap eight to take the lead. Jamison would hold off hard charging Weasel Rhoads over the final laps as Tony Dehart, Brad White, Brian Whiteman, Greg Anderson mixed it up for third. Following Jamison across the line were Weasel Rhoads, Tony Dehart, Brad White, Brian Whiteman, and Greg Anderson.
Shane Newman and Jeremie Bretz brought the bomber feature field to the green. Newman jumped out to the early lead over Bretz. Newman would hold off the challenge of Bretz lap after lap until Bretz finally made the pass in turn one on the final lap. Following Bretz and Newman across the line were Mark Keatzel, Carl Warren, Justin Cook, and Chad Barr.
