Nic Rogers in Winged Sprint Cars, Tim Wilber in UMP Modifieds and Sportsman, and Keith Hiller in Street Stocks captured feature wins at the Butler Motor Speedway.

  Saturday at Butler Motor Speedway was an interesting day for the fans and staff of the speedway as it was originally scheduled to be the Josh Hadley Memorial mid season championships and fireworks.  After the township was put under a burn ban on Thursday evening, fire officials met with track officials and the decision was made to pull the plug on the fireworks for the night.  With people saddened by the news of no fireworks, the mood quickly changed as the 5^th Annual Josh Hadley Memorial Mid Season championships were set to go off as planned.  With trophies going out to the racers, the real excitement was for the kids.  The Hadley family, with help from the racers, gave away at least 20 bicycles, as well as fishing gear, die cast cars, t shirts and frisbies for the kids on hand.  Many smiling faces walked back up into the stands with the prizes they had won, and it would be on to feature racing.  A huge thank you goes out to the Hadley family and the racer participation for making the 5^th Josh Hadley Memorial race a success.

  The Sportsman feature would roll out for there feature with Steve Langdon and Dwayne Feltner bringing the field to green.  Tim Wilber, starting in 4^th, would waste little time and take the lead on lap 2.  A lap 12 yellow for a spinning Rick Heath would slow the field.  Back to green and Wilber would go on to capture the win over Feltner, Jake Rendel, Langdon and Logan Beckwith.  Heat races went to Wes Bates and Langdon.

  The UMP Modified feature would roll out next with Tim Wilber and Kevan Free leading the field to green, with Wilber jumping out to the lead.  The race would be slowed 3 times for minor spins, and Wilber would go on to capture the feature win over Josh Lolmaugh, Free, Jake Rendel and Dillon Nusbaum.  Heat races would be won by Mike Tarlton, Lolmaugh, Steve Shellenberger and Wilber.  B mains were won by Mitch Kirkendall and Brandon Ordway.

  Next out would be the Winged Sprint Car feature with Tom Davies and Nic Rogers leading the field to the green.  The yellow would fly for a spinning Tom Davies.  It was ruled that contact from the Doug Zimmerman ride would send Zimmerman to the tail and Davies back in to the 2^nd position.  Nic Rogers would continue to lead while Zimmerman would charge from the tail.  A couple of yellows for single car spins and a 2 car crash that would end Marques Huffer's night, however Rogers would not be beaten.  Rogers would cross the stripe for his first career A main feature win over Chris Jones.  Len Robison, Zimmerman and Troy Chehowski would round out the top 5.  Heat wins went to Zimmerman and Ryan Kirkendall.

  The Street Stocks would be the final feature event of the night with Terry Bumpus and Keith Hiller bringing the field to green.  The yellow would wave for debris, and a couple single car spins.  A late race red would halt the race after a crash that involved Matt Rose and Josh Garrett.  With the race winding down,  a spirited duel would set up between Hiller and Chris Garrett, with Hiller holding off Garrett for the win.  Sheryll Dishaw would run 3^rd, while Kevin Butters and Jake Rendel would round out the top 5.  Heat races were won by Chris Garrett, Don Hopkins, Butters and Bumpus.  Jarrett Rendel and Zach Hiser captured the B main events.
