Ringgold, GA (3/21/09) – The WIZARD of ROZ Mark Rosner flew in from Maryville, Tennessee for the weekend of racing in Chattanooga/Ringgold and stole the CABIN FEVER Championship away from outside pole sitter/leader Greg Husky. The $2,000. payday came for Rosner when a long green flag run, ended in a yellow flag with just over 12 laps remaining. Rosner whom, faded as far back as five to ten car lengths during the race, came to life and stepped up on the outside groove to make the winning pass. Husky could only watch as Andy Miller chomped away in third, as the blue # 17 “Enloe Enterprises, JVE Property & Investments, ATTL Properties, Realty Executives: Chris Breeden, Rosner Drywall, White’s Total Performance, Brian Ownby Concrete” sponsored DWB / Joe Metcalf powered car raced to the checkers. Miller edged Husky outta the runner-up spot by inches at the flag.
"I just decided to try the outside, up there and got a great start” said Rosner after climbing from the racecar in JODY MILLARD PEST CONTROL Victory Lane. “I’d like to thank my crew, family and friends, especially Freddy and Kim Kissinger, who bought our tires for us this weekend.” Rosner stated that his DWB chassis and the one Anthony (White) drives, just handle so well at this track, “we’re looking forward to returning soon for some great races.” On Friday nineteen (19) Steel-Head Late Models entered the two-nighter for heat races. Stutts would beat Rosner in the first 15 lap heat race to take the feature pole position, while Husky would beat the FLYIN’ WELSHAN Jason Welshan for the outside FRONT-ROW JOE status. Robert Stutts and Husky would collided on an initial start of the 50 Lap finale, when Rosner got an awesome inside jump on the leaders. Stutts packed it in and wouldn’t get to complete a lap, scoring the Murfreesboro, TN racer dead-last.
Saturday’s feature saw the seventeen (17) starters with Husky grabbing the lead at the start over Rosner. Fan Favorite Pat Castleberry had a pretty rough opening race, back in the pack. “DOUBLE J” Jeff Jones yellowed up to start the feature, but a long green flag stint made for some interesting racing throughout the field. Mark Wooten and Ruben Mayfield got together to rear a yellow in turn one, and both would narrowly finish in the Top 10. Mike Price raced towards the front of the pack and garnered a Top 5 passing Jeff Franklin late in the race. David Tinker and John Parker battled with Wooten and Andy Pickelsimer late in the race. John Burger Rick Jennings and Welshan would finish outside the Top 10 as Rosner took the checkers. Price would be fourth behind Husky with Franklin fifth overall. Next Friday night gets underway at 7PM EST with a Full Racing Program that includes a $1,000. to-WIN Steel-Head LM race and $800 to-WIN Crate Late Model feature The A-Hobby, B Hobby, Pony's will also be in action, while the FWD class takes a hiatus for a week.
