From Tri-City Motor Speedway
Auburn, MI — (May 1, 2015) — After Opening night’s frosty weather, more seasonable temperatures greeted fans and racers this past Friday Night at Tri-City Motor Speedway. 83 Cars and stars towed to Auburn to try their hand on the challenging 3/8ths mile clay oval.
The Auburn Hotel Street Stocks provided some exciting 4 and 5-wide racing action in their 20-lap feature event. Former champion #7r David Newcomb moved from his fifth place starting spot to inherit the lead by the midway point of the feature. 2013 Champion #75 Toby Strong used everything he could to try to pass Newcomb but fell just short of the victory. #96 Shane Wright, #28 Jared Rizer, and #8 Aaron Spearling completed the top five. #A71 Anthony Jurek won the B-main. Heats were won by Rizer, Strong, and #x5 Eric Lake.
Hastings Racing Rings has joined TCMS as a sponsor of the Late Model Division for 2015. Fans were not disappointed by the action on the speedway as #24 Joe Pomeroy and #4t Andrew Terrill led the field of twenty to the green flag. Pomeroy would lead a large portion of the first half of the 25-lap main event. However, #6m of Dona Marcoullier would eventually track Pomeroy down and take a lead that he would not relinquish. Defending Track Champion #0x Zack Olger almost caught Marcoullier in lapped traffic, but had to settle for the runner-up spot. Pomeroy, #21 David Hilliker, and #117 Kevin Reeve completed the top five finishers. #87 Josh Knoll won the B-Main. Terrill, Pomeroy, and #50 Scott Phillips captured wins in their qualifying heat races.
There were no surprises in the Main Street Seed and Supply IMCA Modified division as #20 AJ Ward picked up his second consecutive feature of the season. He was able to chase down and pass #19 Joe Fowler, #7d Myron DeYoung, #4 Matt Szeccsodi, #4s Toby Steele, who all finished in the top five. #71 Brenten DeYoung, M. DeYoung, and Fowler won heat races.
The Steven’s Cycle Sales and Service V6 Stock Bomber division was a grudge match between last week’s feature winner #77 Stacy Stazsak and #09 Jack Freese. Stazsak would win the heat while Freese would win the feature.
The Elgin Pro Stock is looking similar to 2014. #71 Timmy Near took early control of the feature event before champion #21 Steven Hilliker made the final pass with five laps remaining. He would hold on for his second consecutive feature of the young season. Near would finish second followed by #93 John Robbins, #10 Brent Reil, #01 Ryan Radabaugh completing the top five. Near and #M65 Rick Spencer.
