Small Car Saturday Championships At Dunn Hill 2 Speedway

The final event of the 2012 racing season for Small Car Saturday was sponsored by J W Maynard and Sons Truck Repair. The afternoon and evening was full of great racing with new faces picking up those first wins. The 2012 Champions were finalized and some of the points battles were tight and others were decided by the team just taking the green. It was a jammed packed day of racing and the fans on the hill got to see lots of excitement.

The kart portion of the days events were up first, with Super Seniors making their way onto the rack. This points race was very close and it all depended on who won both the qualifying race and the feature. It was Rodney McConnell who grabbed his seventh feature win as he led all but
one lap of the event. Bren Lattimer finished in second and grabbed his first track championship, by only four points. Rounding out the finishing order was Dale Anderson in third.

Rookie Purple was the next division to grace the track. The race for the feature and the points were very tight all season long. Connor Davis found his way into victory lane for the seventh time over the points champion Doug Newbigging who finished in second. Both of these boys raced their hearts out each week and still managed to visit with each other after the races. The rest of the feature finish was Michael Davis in third, Caleb Hadlock in fourth and Austin Hughes in fifth.

Sportskids points championship race was decided when Keith Lamphere took the green for the event. Keith had fourteen feature wins during the 2012 season. He held off Tamara Burkholder who finished in second for the win. Third went to D J Knolles, fourth to Paul Corron and fifth to Dom Rogers.

Going into the Novice Blue feature event it was anyones championship to be had. Cody Kershner who has been in the point lead had to hold off second in points Seth Anderson. When the green flag dropped it was Kershner who grabbed the lead. He was challenged by Jacob Doyle and Seth Anderson. Seth took the second position and he set his sights on the 22 of Kershner. They raced hard and clean throughout the feature with lap traffic playing a role. When the checkered flag fell it was Cody Kershner grabbing the win and his first championship. Finishing in second was Seth Anderson, third was Jacob Doyle, fourth was Lacin Terry and rounding out the top five was Mitch Maynard.

As the season progress so did the kart count in the Sportsmen class. Doug Lantz had control of the points lead for most of the season. He had to take the green and the title would be his. Anything can happen on a double points night. Lady luck was with Doug through the whole feature event. He held off Rich Vanderpool early in the event. In the closing laps Keith Lamphere the only other driver to win a feature in this division moved into second. Keith tried to dethrone Lantz for one more win. Doug would not have it and grabbed win number 15 and his first kart championship. Third went to Rich Vanderpool, fourth to D J Knolles and fifth to Paul Corron.

They combined the Stock Appearing Clone division and the Animal division due to lack of cars. Mike Ely picked up the win and the championship in the Stock Appearing Clone. Mike had five feature wins during the season. Bob Coveney grabbed the win and the championship in the Animal division. Bob had two feature wins and many consistent finishes getting him the championship.

The flat head division found some real excitement for the fans. Bob Coveney and Quinn Davis took the green flag. Coveney grabbed the early lead, but it was Quinn Davis who was hungry for the win. Quinn stole it away on lap three and held off the Coveney machine to capture his first victory of the 2012 season. It was a very emotional win for Davis as he held the early points lead. By virtue of Bob Coveney's consistent finishes without a feature win, during the season he was crowned the champion by seventeen points over Quinn Davis. Cliff Casterline was not able to start the feature event.

On to the Micro and Slingshot portion of the final race of the 2012 season. It was a race of the fittest for the Rookie 270 Micros. Current points leader Kelsi Jenkins suffered mechanical problems and was not able to start the feature event. When the green flag fell it was Brent Heeman grabbing the lead. Caution came out for Allen Carnrike who went pit side. On the restart it was Alex Shaffer who grabbed the lead. Alex lead until lap seven when something went wrong with the 88 sending him pit side. On the restart Heeman grabbed the lead back, but for only one lap when Scott Dean took the top spot. Dean lead the rest of the feature securing win
number three of the season. Finishing in second was newcomer Oscar Fassett who purchased the old Denny Rinehimer number 5. Third went to Brent Heeman, fourth to Alex Shaffer and fifth to Allen Carnrike. By virtue of her points lead Kelsi Jenkins secured enough points to be the Track Champion for the 2012 season.

600 Micros found Collin Hadlock and Bennett Lennox bringing the field to the green. Collin lead the first five laps of the twenty lap event. Nick Wood took the lead on lap six of a caution free event. The battle for the second position between Hadlock and Lennox was fierce. It allowed Nick to open up a sizable lead. When the checkers fell it was Nick Wood recording win six. Finishing in second was Bennett Lennox, third was Collin Hadlock, fourth was Adam Nicholson and rounding out the top five was Matt Jones. Nick Wood was also honored as the Track champion by only 27 points over Collin Hadlock.

Dalton held him off to capture his first feature win of the season. Bob Boughton finished in second with Carl Bittenbender in third, Alex Shaffer in fourth and Alex Boughton in fifth.

270 Micros were the final event of the 2012 season. Going into the feature event, Mark Wurzler and Bobby Maynard were in a tight battle for the title. Both drivers had two wins and many consistent finishes. It would come down to who won and where the other finished. Bobby knew he had to win the feature event. He grabbed the lead early and held off the Wurzler machine for twelve laps. A mechanical problem sent his title hopes packing, as he fell off the pace on lap 12. That gave the lead and the title to Mark Wurzler. Mark went on to pick up his third feature event of the season. Finishing in second was Kyle Traver, third was Denny Rinehimmer, fourth was Tim Aberant and fifth was Bobby Maynard.
