Webb, Coffman, Warren, and Grant Winners at Ponderosa Speedway
Junction City, KY-April 9, 2010- Ponderosa Speedway in Junction City, KY returned to action on Friday evening with its first weekly racing series program of 2010 and feature winners for the night included David Webb of Nicholasville, KY in Good Neighbor Pharmacy Super Late Models, Todd Coffman of Junction City, KY in Bob Allen Motor Mall Pro Late Models, Kelly Warren of Columbia, KY in Clayton Homes UMP Modifieds, and Bartley Grant of Berea, KY in D&D Pallet Recyclers UMP Sportsman.
The 25 lap Good Neighbor Pharmacy Super Late Model main event would see polesitter David Webb jump to the early lead, with Mike Marlar, Victor Lee, Dustin Linville, and Michael Chilton giving chase. Chilton would take fourth from Linville on lap 2, while Marlar would pressure Webb for the top spot. By lap 6, Webb would pull away a bit from Marlar, who was starting to get pressure from Lee for second. Fourth place Chilton would pull to the infield on lap 8, while Lee turned the pressure up on Marlar for the runner-up spot. Webb’s pace at the point would be slowed by a caution for debris on lap 11 and on the restart, Lee would drive around Marlar off the top side of turn two, while D.J. Wells would take fourth from Linville one circuit later. The final ten laps would see Webb slowly pull away from the battle for second between Lee and Marlar, but the battle for second would close on Webb in the final two laps as the leader attempted to work his way through lapped traffic. But it would be Webb’s night as he would see the checkered flag first in his ORS Auto Body and Collision/Marine Works/Valvoline/Eagle One/JDB Contracting/Saylers Auto Salvage/Killer Chassis sponsored #13w C.J. Rayburn Race Car, Pro Power Race Engines powered machine. The remainder of the top five would be Lee, Marlar, Wells, and Linville, with the rest of the finishing order being Aaron Ridley, Caleb Ashby, Christian Rayburn, Wesley Brummett, and Chilton. Webb was also top qualifier among 10 entries at 14.198 seconds and also won his heat, while Marlar won the other heat.
The 20 lap Bob Allen Motor Mall Pro Late Model feature would see Todd Coffman take the lead, followed by Jeremy Hines, Chase McWhorter, Kevin Colston, and Gary Yeager. Yeager would go to fourth on lap 2 as a caution would slow the action. Back underway, Coffman would again pull away, with Hines giving chase. At the halfway mark, Hines would reel Coffman in and the pair would begin to battle for the lead until Tim Taylor brought the caution out on lap 13. The final few circuits would see Coffman and Hines go wheel-to-wheel in a battle for the lead, with the pair in a dead heat at the line as the white flag was displayed. The duo would go side-by-side on the final lap, with Coffman able to nose ahead of Hines at the drop of the checkered flag to take the win in his King Clean/Coffman Photography/Cook’s Collectibles/Two Brothers Café/A Breath of Fresh Air/Harrod Farms/Bottom Line Tax Service/Hurst Racing/Central Kentucky Log Cabins sponsored #35 C.J. Rayburn Race Car, GM604 Performance Crate powered unit. Hines would finish second, followed by McWhorter, Yeager, and Kevin Hardin. Completing the top ten were Zane Powell, Kevin Colston, Clarence Belcher, Billy Wooldridge and Tim Taylor. Coffman was top qualifier among 12 entries at 14.245 seconds and also won the dash, while Tim Taylor won the heat.
The 20 lap Clayton Homes UMP Modified main event would be a dandy as Kelly Warren would grab the initial lead, followed by J.T. Ayers, Russ Gabbert, Jason Wheatley, and Elliott Despain. The only caution of the race flew on lap 3 as Josh Lucas rolled to a stop in turn two, but would continue three more laps after the restart. The restart would see business pick up as Ayers challenged Warren for the lead, with Ayers firing a slidejob pass on Warren for the lead in turn four on lap 4, only to see Warren return the favor with a slider of his own to retake the lead in turn two on lap 5. With the lead duo settling into an entertaining battle for the lead, Despain would snag fourth from Wheatley on lap 9, with Tommy Gregory working past Wheatley for fifth on lap 11. By lap 15, Warren had extended his lead a bit on Ayers, who was getting pressure from Gabbert for second. As the white flag was displayed, Gabbert would get by Ayers for second exiting turn four, but would not catch Warren as he would put his Kelly Warren and Jeff Crawford owned T&B Drilling/Maximum Energy/J&K Auto/Sthingy Oil Well Service/Burton Services/GBS Well Service/West Kentucky Well Service/Gilco Well Service/Warren Dictation sponsored #0 Bandit Race Car, Dale Meers Race Engines powered mount in victory lane. Gabbert, Ayers, and Despain would go second through fourth, while Wheatley sneaked back around Gregory for fifth. Gregory would head up the second five, followed by Benji Lee, Randy Turpin, Kevin Nesselhauf, and Keith Denney. Ayers was top qualifier among 13 entries at 15.117 seconds and also won the dash, while Despain won the heat.
The 15 lap D&D Pallet Recyclers UMP Sportsman main event would see Wayne Hager take the race lead at the drop of the green flag, with Bartley Grant, Rick King, Donnie Sullivan, and Logan Preston in pursuit. Hagar and Grant would immediately go to battle for the race lead, with Grant winning the battle and making what would be the winning pass on lap 4. Sullivan would get by King for third and set his sights on Hager, but Hager would pull to the infield on lap 9, done for the night. Grant would go unchallenged the rest of the way as the two-time and defending division track champion would grab the win in the Mistie and Tori Grant owned Double J Automotive Machine Shop/Climax Horse Camp/Copper Creek Welding sponsored #1 Buick Regal. Sullivan would take runner-up honors, while King held off the challenges of Preston for fourth, with Eddie Stewart completing the top five.
