On an unusually cool May evening, 97 cars filled the pits and were ready for some short-track, dirt slinging high-bank racing action. Even though Mother Nature has not been too kind this year to many local racing facilities, the CMS crew once again came thru and prepared a lightning quick tacky track. When there has been a lot of moisture during the week, you can bet some extra track prep will have to be done during the week and throughout the racing night in order to achieve a race-ready surface. After a couple of rounds by the grader the track was readied and re-readied while still maintaining its quickness. As always the savvy Street Stocks kicked off the night with their heat races. Warrensburg’s own Marc Carter made a last-lap pass on Nathan Himes to take the first heat. Herb Dannar won heat two over Chad Eickleberry and Troy Turley was victorious in heat three over Wayne Stevens of Norborne. For the Streets’ main event, Marc Carter and Herb Dannar led the field of 19 to the green and it didn’t take too long for some cars to have trouble. Unfortunately, front-row starting Herb Dannar became the first to exit with mechanical woes. Troy Turley in the 2x was having a great run early on but flagman Herschel Thompson flew the dreaded black and red mechanical flag and he was forced to exit the race. Meanwhile, Carter began lapping cars by lap 6 and was never challenged for the win. Nathan Himes of Clinton, had a great run to second, followed by Darren Shore third, Wayne Stevens fourth, Wayne Harper fifth, John Ebert sixth, Tammy Korff finished seventh, up from her twelfth-place start and Cole Wimmer crossed the line in eighth place.
There were seventeen 305 Sprints on hand on and it took three heats to decide the A-main starting field. In heat one, Michael White of LaMonte, took the win over Doug Rose. Rob Rimel of California, MO, took the win in heat two over Eric Todd and the hooked up Gabe Maycock in the 98 machine flew the checkers in heat three over Matt Chevalier. All cars from the heats made it back for the main event with Michael White and Rob Rimel bringing the field to the green. White got off to a quick start and held the lead until about the halfway point when a hard charging and determined Gabe Maycock made the move on White and never looked back! White held on for the runner-up position with Eric Todd in third, Doug Rose fourth, Matt Chevalier fifth and Michael Brown of Kingsville sixth.
The MSCS Sprints returned to CMS once again with Gladstone’s Chris Parkinson taking the first heat race win over Alan Billings while Danny Billings was victorious in heat two over Tim Koch of Sweet Springs. Ten MSCS sprinters took the green for the A-main event with the 74 machine of Chris Parkinson driving a smooth race from his pole position all the way to the checkers. Tim Koch moved up two spots to come home second, Alan Billings third, Jim Dohrman fourth and Danny Billings fifth. The 11 car of Doug Rose was one of four 305 sprints to transfer to the MSCS main and he came home in the sixth position.
Ten Limited Late Models signed in on the night and the full-bodied, chassis-lifting action got under way with the heat race and Warsaw’s David Gemes showing the others how it should be done in a late model by finding the smooth line around the track. Gemes stood on the throttle leaving everyone else wondering how to setup their machines for the main event. Sedalia’s Carl Lewis came home second with Jim Wilson taking third. For the main event, it was Gemes and Lewis on the front row and from the drop of the green these two put on a great show, battling side by side; even making some contact in turns one and two midway through the race. Lewis had indeed figured out the setup and grabbed the lead away from Gemes for a few circuits until Gemes once again settled in and retook the lead and the eventual win over runner-up Lewis. Wilson came home third, with Steve Elwell of Knob Noster fourth and Wade Sherman fifth.
With 41 revved up “Mighty Modifieds” on hand it took no less than 5 heats and two B-mains to determine the 25-car starting lineup for the A-main. In heat-race action, Desoto, Kansas’ Dustin Boney was victorious over “Movin’ Dave Meyer.” Heat two saw the newly returned to the driver’s seat, Alan Deatherage fly the checkers over Lee Hibner. Sedalia’s Terry Schultz led Dean Wille to the finish line in heat three with James McMillin taking heat four over the long-distance traveling, Gary Blackburn of Fulton. Heat five was won by fourth-row starting Bobby Layne of Kansas City with a convincing win over Boonville’s Curt Potter. The first B-main got off to a rough start for Chillicothe’s Tyler Hibner, who got caught up in a pileup in turn 1 and ended up doing a slow rollover before coming to rest on his wheels. Thankfully only the car suffered some damage and Tyler walked off the track waving to the generous applauding fans. Once green-flag conditions returned to the track Jesse Wheeler and Clay Langley took the two transfer spots. In the second B-main, Steve Twinter crossed the line in front of Shad Badder to complete the final two transfers to the main event. At long last it was time for the “Mighty” ones to take to the track for the premier show of the night and it was Dustin Boney and Alan Deatherage leading the 25 cars to the start. From the get go, Boney was distancing himself from the pack leaving Deatherage, Terry Schultz, Bobby Layne and McMillin battling for second thru fifth. An early caution for debris on lap two once again bunched up the field with Boney and crew in tow. After pausing for another caution on the next lap, the field once again took the green until Chad Lyle experienced mechanical woes on the backstretch. By this time Bobby Layne found a line up on the high side and began his charge to the front from his fifth-place starting spot. Layne, Schultz and Deatherage were nose to tail every lap battling for the second position while Boney maintained a comfortable lead. While this heated battle for second raged on Boney apparently broke an A-arm and stalled in turn one while leading and the caution was out again. On the restart, Deatherage led the field to the green with now second-place Layne right on his tail, Schultz was still third with ninth-place starting Gary Blackburn, Jr., now in fourth. It looked as though Deatherage and Layne were going to battle until the end until Deatherage suffered a flat tire and handed the lead over to Layne on lap 13 with Schultz and Blackburn close behind. After another quick yellow on lap 15 and again on lap 16, Bobby Layne never looked back and took a popular win over Schultz, Blackburn, Wille, Joe Bradshaw, Lee Hibner, Dennis Walrath and Jim Moody.
After the main event I had a chance to chat with Bobby Layne in the pits and asked him a few questions. After drawing pill number 50 to start the night off he was not too happy but it didn’t seem to matter where he started as he took a heat win from deep in the pack and the A-main as well. When I asked him why he changed his running line in the main from the top to the bottom, he said the car was far more stable down on the low side. Bobby stated that he builds his own “Layne Chassis” to put under the Wheeler-owned 01 machine and he is the only one who runs this chassis. Even though the heat and main wins were Layne’s first wins of this year, he is definitely no stranger to racing action and victory lane. He has raced from “coast to coast” and at last count had raced at 151 different race tracks all over the states! Bobby event spent a few of his years touring with the World of Outlaw sprint car series but is mostly known for getting on top of the wheel in his modified each and every week, especially right here at CMS!
Join the CMS crew next Saturday night for another weekend of racing action as radio station KMMO will be the evening’s sponsor. All the regulars will be there so join the CMS crew for all the fast-paced action! Gates open at 5:00pm with hot laps at 7:00 and racing getting under way at 7:30.
