MOBERLY, MO. (Aug. 12, 2006) -  The August 12th's big event at 24 Raceway, the Hobby Stock Special with its 25 laps, had everything the race fan could ask for in four leader changes, only two or three cautions and a good one-two race down to the end. This included an action-packed 3-car spin out on the front stretch in front of the grandstands late in the race with no injuries. Josh Langhammer and Alan Hultz each led a couple of laps early on, with Huntsville's Kevin Renzelmann coming in to lead laps 5 thru 8. Renzelmann tried to hold off Mike Wolfe, but fell to 2nd on lap 9 and stayed close the rest of the race. Wolfe had a good lead by a couple of car lengths, but that last caution late in the race bunched up the field for a green-white-checkers run to the finish. Madison's Wolfe still had enough to hold off a hard-charging Renzelmann for the $400 win in this non-points race. Larry Krog and Clinton Dale competed just as hard for 3rd with Krog getting it across the line, followed by Dale and Chad Walter coming in 5th ahead of Tom Elsen. In the end, the top five finishers had to go through extensive tech checking of their engines and all those checked were in complience with the rules. A very good race for the fans and participants all the way around. To make it a really successful night for the Renzelmann family, wife Pam was the key qualifier in the "Redneck Truck Giveaway" drawing for one of the keys, being sponsored by Bentz GM Country of Macon. Congratulations to all the drivers on for making it a solid performance in the annual Hobby Stock Special!

In the A-modified race, all the other 12 entries tried to keep Fulton's young Kevin Blackburn from a repeat of his win here last week, but the winner of the 2nd heat earlier in the evening, backed up that first ever win with his 2nd win on the season, both at 24 Raceway. Three-time winner, Dave Holder couldn't get within 2 car-lengths of Blackburn late in the race and finished as the runner-up. Boonville's Potter brothers ran strong up near the front for the entire race and finished 3rd (Curt) and 4th (Steve). These two also seem determined to get to the winner's circle yet this season at 24 Raceway.

Bob Woodrow of Perry got his new racecar looking more like the old one (which was wrecked two weeks ago in the mechanic's race) with some paint and # schemes and had a solid performance in grabbing the heat win and his first feature win since July 15th in the Moberly Motors B-Modified race. This came at a good time as his lead in the 2006 season points had dwindled to only 10 over Tony Garner. And while Woodrow got his 8th win of the year, Porter Collins, in his newly aquired racecar, picked up his best finish coming in at 2nd over Chuck Melloway. The Sportsman class saw Clinton Dale hold off Pete Agee and season points leader Jeff Creed in a tight race for the 1-2-3 finish. And Columbia's Brooke Hassler grabbed season win #8 in the 4 clyinder Hornet A-feature to go with a B-feature win at 24 Raceway, maintaining his commanding season points lead.

Next week, August 12 at 24 Raceway, will be the annual "Back to School Night" with the five regular classes of A-modifieds, Moberly Motors B-modifieds, Sportsman, Hobby Stock and the 4 cylinder Hornets.
