Nate Dussel, Chris Carpenter and Kyle Bond Conquer Ohio Valley Speedway
A great crowd would brave Mother Nature’s nearby presence as the Ohio Valley Speedway would welcome the FAST on DIRT Sprint Car Series for the first time in series and track history. A jam packed pit area would see Nate Dussel, Chris Carpenter, Kyle Bond, Mike Smith, Chris Wise, Bryson Long and Stephen Sutler pick up KMA Auto Victory Lane trips on Friday Night.
The Ti22 Performance FAST 410 sprint cars made their first ever appearance at Ohio Valley Speedway Friday Night. A modern era record field of cars filled the pit area, and Nate Dussel went wire to wire to secure the win in his first ever trip to the Valley.
Ohio Valley Speedway starter, Matt Amick dropped the Way Floor Coverings green flag on the Ti22 Performance main event and Dussel out drag raced Josh Davis to claim a lead he would never relinquish. Action was all around the track with drivers using every available line on the track. In the race to the finish, it was Lee Jacobs charging late, but he was no match this night for Dussel who claimed the win. Past FAST champions Cale Conley and Cole Duncan ran 3rd and 4th respectively, with Jordan Ryan having a great run up to complete the top 5. The balance of the top 10 included Nathan Skaggs, Josh Davis, Bryan Nuckles, Zeth Sabo and Jamie Myers.
In the Las Trancas Super Late Model division it was Chris Carpenter of Mineral Wells, WV aboard the Kenny Newhouse owned #18 machine picking up his first win of the 2022 season at Ohio Valley Speedway. Carpenter would pilot the KN Contracting/ Pro-Tech Auto Sales/ Kryptonite/ Ferrer Audio Tubes across the line ahead of Ronnie Mayle, Derek Rogers, Harold Redman Jr. and Andy Bond.
A great Polymer Services UMP Modified main event would see Kyle Bond hold off a host of tough competitors to clinch his first victory of the season. The Coolville, Ohio racer would wheel the Octane Race Products/ Shafer Equipment/ Brucebuilt Performance/ Cheryl’s Country Diner #10 ahead of Kenny Johnson, KC Burdette, Travis Dickson and Coleman Evans.
First time runner Mike Smith would wheel the sharp looking 21s machine to the KMA Auto Victory Lane in the Pike Street Lanes Sportmod division. A great battle behind the race leader between Matt Fizer and Kendall Hodge would entertain the crowd throughout. At the checkers it was Mike Smith ahead of Fizer, Hodge, Toby Wilson in his maiden voyage and up and comer Sonny Leek.
Another strong field of 20 SCDRA 4 Cylinders would take to the track with Thurman, Ohio’s Chris Wise aboard the 6pac Ford Focus pick up his second straight win at the Valley. A host of rabid racers would follow the talented wheelman enroute to the pay window. Wise drives the Newfast Motorsports/ John Sang Ford/ Parkersburg Liquidations machine and finished ahead of Jacob Hughes, Jacob McDaniel, Sam Dickel and Jeff Rankin.
The youngsters of the Mike’s Auto Parts WRA would kick off the evening with Bryson Long maintaining his dominance in the Young Gun division by grabbing his fourth consecutive.
