Kent Robinson
Robinson tops Hell Tour visit at Oakshade Raceway
Over the past few years Oakshade Raceway has been good to Kent Robinson. The Ohio oval has graced the Indiana racer with multiple wins, and on Friday night another notch was added to the belt.
Robinson piloted his JB’s Disposal Services #7r MB Customs/ Jay Dickens Racing Engine Super Late Model to the $5,000 victory with the DIRTcar Summer Nationals.
“Oakshade [Raceway] can be a real tricky place, but for whatever reason I’ve just always been comfortable there,” Robinson noted. “It’s fun anytime you can race with your buddies, and Jason [Feger] and I had a great race on Friday night. On Saturday night, passing was tougher, and we came up a little bit short on where we needed to be in the feature. All-in-all though it was another fun and successful weekend for our team, and that’s all that you can truly ask for.”
Friday night found Kent Robinson returning to action with the DIRTcar Summer Nationals with a trip to Oakshade Raceway (Wauseon, Ohio). The weekend’s slate included the facilities’ two-day Birthday Race.
With a stout field of 45 cars registered for action, Robinson recorded the fastest time in qualifying and backed it up with a heat race win. Rolling off third on the feature grid, Kent overtook Jason Feger for the lead on lap 23 and built a 1.157 second margin throughout the remaining 17 circuits to capture his third win of the season and a $5,000 payday.
Feger, Frank Heckenast Jr., Devin Shiels, and Rusty Schlenk trailed them to the checkers.
Returning on Saturday, Kent locked his spot into the $10,000-to-win finale with a heat race victory. Starting in the second position, Robinson dropped one spot in the 50-lapper to place 3rd behind Chris Keller and Jason Feger with Travis Stemler and Brian Shirley rounding out the Top-5.
