TWEAK TO THE SCHEDULE HAS BEEN DONE. IT EFFECTS NONE OF THE REGULAR 4
IN 1 CLASSES. BUTLER HAS ADDED THE MINI SPRINT CLASS TO 4 NIGHTS OF THE
REGULAR 4 IN 1 SHOWS, TO MAKE THEM 5 IN 1 SHOWS. DATES FOR THOSE SHOWS ARE AS FOLLOWS:
JUNE 23 JULY 28 SEP 1 WHEELER, BEEZLEY, RENDEL AND DONALDSON ALL GRAB FEATURE CHECKERS
Greg Wheeler in Winged Sprint Cars, Tommy Beezley in UMP
Modifieds, Jake Rendel in Sportsman and Street Stock and Denny Donaldson all
captured feature win checkers at the Butler Motor Speedway.
With fantastic
weather in the skies, a full pits a good crowd on hand and the heat race events
in the books, the focus would switch to the feature racing.
The first feature to
roll onto the 3/8 mile facility would be for the Mini Sprints. After a 20 year racing hiatus, Denny
Donaldson would grab the lead after leader Bryce Nichols would spin, bringing
out the caution. With Donaldson in the
lead, you just had a feeling the veteran of hundreds of laps turned at the Speedway would be hard to
pass. With Brandon Hagar looking high
and low, but unable to make a pass stick, Donaldson would go on to collect the
feature win ahead of Hagar. Jason
Holibaugh, Don Dennis and Bryce Nichols would round out the top 5 with Hagar
getting the heat race win. 
After a brief
intermission, The Sportsman feature would be the next class to hit the track
for feature action. With Jake Rendel and
Chris Garrett bringing the field to the green, Rendel would jump to the
lead until a first lap yellow for Steve
Billingsley rolling to a stop in turn 2.
Back to green, it looked like the field might run all the way to the
conlusion of the even with Rendel as the leader, Dwayne Feltner in 2nd
and Tim Wilber in 3rd, but the caution flew on lap 17 for a spinning
Fred VanEvey setting up a shootout to the checkers. Back to green, Rendel would continue to lead
and would go on to capture his 2nd feature of the 2012 season,
followed by Feltner, Wilber, Wes Bates and Jarrett Rendel rounding out the top
5. Heat race wins went to Feltner and
Wilber.
The Street Stocks
would roll out next with Kevin Butters and Dallas Prater bringing the field to
green. Butters would jump to the lead,
only to see the yellow fly on lap 1 for a spinning Sheryll Dishaw. After a complete restart, Butters jumped back
to the front, only to see the red flag wave for a scary looking roll down the
frontstretch by Robert Vanderploeg. With
the car resting on the roof, you could hear a pin drop at the facility. Then with a loud roar, Robert climbed his way
from the car under his own power and was ok.
Back to green and Butters was leading with Jake Rendel in 2nd. The red would fly again for Sheryll Dishaw as
her car would go up in smoke going into turn 3 and catch fire rolling off turn
4. Dishaw was able to climb from the
car, but while the safety crew was putting out the fire, Matt Rose would have
fire erupt under the hood of his car.
Both Rose and Dishaw were fine, but the cars were retired to the
pits. When the field went back to green,
it was Jake Rendel cruising to his 2nd
Street Stock feature win of the season and 2nd
feature win of the night. Following
Rendel to the stripe would see Butters, Jeff Hinkley, Jr., Prater and Terry
Milliman rounding out the top 5. Heat
wins went to Chris Garrett, Grant Miller, VanderPloeg and Rendel. Troy Patton captured the B main.
The Winged Sprint
Car feature would roll next and see the front row of Greg Wheeler and Chris
Jones bring the field to the green.
Wheeler would jump to the lead. A
lap 5 spin for Brad Lamberson would wave.
Lamberson was able to spin and keep the car moving but Dustin Shriver
would roll to a stop. Back to green,
Wheeler would jump out front again, just to see the yellow wave a lap later for
a Mike Burns spin. During the yellow, the
medical staff would be needed in the stands, so the call was made to stop the
field. With the medical situation
cleared, the field would go back to green with Wheeler leading until a lap 16
red for a Andy Chehowski flip. Andy
would emerge from the car ok, but the car was done for the night. Back to green with Wheeler leading and Kevin
Atkins in 2nd, and Chad Blonde up from 11th starting to 3rd. A lap 18 spin for Brandon Hyliard would slow
the field. The field would go back to
green until a lap 22 spin for Gerry Hart would bunch the field up for a battle
to the checkers. Back to green with
Wheeler leading, Blonde would make a charge around Atkins into 2nd
and with Wheeler taking the white, Blonde would drive deep into the top side of
turn 3 making his attempt at the win, but, Wheeler in the Shark powered, Jand
J, would not be outdone and would get enough bite to win the drag race to the
checkers. Following Wheeler and Blonde
to the checkers would be Atkins, Doug Zimmerman and Bill Jacoby. Atkins, Jacoby and Wheeler would all win heat
races and Selby Bilton would capture the B main.
The final race of
the night would be the UMP Modified feature with Jake Rendel and Tommy Beezley
bringing the field to green. Beezley
would jump to the lead and Rendel, driving the Mike Williams owned, Toxic
Graphics car after hurting the motor in his own car, would drop in behind
Beezley. A lap 4 yellow would fly for
contact between Josh Lolmaugh and Tim Dalman, with Dalman retiring to the
pits. Back to green with Beezley
leading, Rendel in 2nd and Corey Bevard running 3rd until
a lap 11 spin for Dave VanGuilder. When
the field went back to racing, Mike Tarlton moved his way around Bevard as
Rendel had dropped back in the field. A
lap 14 spin for Mark Pifer would slow the field with Beezley leading, Tarlton 2nd
and Bevard in 3rd. Beezley
would launch back to the lead, until a lap 17 spin for Jared Guinn. With the filed back to green, Beezley would
go on to win his 2nd feature win of the 2012 season over Tarlton,
Bevard Mark Anderson and Tim Wilber.
Heat race wins went to Nick Kurtz, Wilber, Bevard and Doug
McLachlan. The 15 car B main was
captured by David VanGuilder.
