A full pit area greeted race fans and a hammer down racey bullring awaited eager drivers looking to earn a coveted spot in next week’s gigantic Memorial Weekend World of Outlaw Jackpot weekend. Garnering Tyler County Speedway triumphs were Jared Hawkins, Chris Carpenter, Jesse Wisecarver, Mike Conkle, Mitch Ward, and Jacob Ice.

In the J&R Excavating Super Late Models it was Fairmont, W.Va.’s Jared Hawkins putting his mount in the Tyler County victory lane for the first time in 2013. Hawkins would blast to the lead from his front row starting spot, but would have to withstand a late race charge from Mike Benedum and Steve Weigle to hang on to the victory insuring his starting spot in the World of Outlaw Jackpot 100. Rounding out the top five were Benedum, Weigle, Sonny Conley, and Corey Conley. The J&R Excavating Super Late Model division has seen four different feature winners so far in 2013.

It was the “Joker” Chris Carpenter from Parkersburg, WV ending the Kyle Thomas three race win streak in the Peoples Bank FASTRAK Late Model division. Carpenter would blast around Thomas midway thru the race to claim his first victory of the young season. Completing the top five were Thomas, Danny Thomas, Derek Rogers and Brandon McGrady.

A stout field of 22 Two Brothers Motorsports EDGE modifieds would take to the bullring vying for a spot in next week’s monstrous “Let it Ride 55”. A very spirited battle would ensue at the drop of the green between Bird Wilson, DJ Cline, Rick Aukland, Kenny Johnson, Jared Hawkins and Jesse Wisecarver as they sliced and diced in typical ‘bullring’ fashion. Early leader Wilson would eventually succumb to a hard charging Wisecarver and Cline while Hawkins was continuing to blast around the top. Wisecarver from Zanesville, Ohio would go on to claim the win aboard Tom and Junior Nolan’s Two Brother Motorsports entry holding off a nice run by DJ Cline, Jared Hawkins, Bird Wilson and Mark Dickson.

Shinnston, WV’s Mitch Ward piloting the 862 Modlite would lay claim to his first ever feature win in the Chris Metz State Farm Insurance ModLite division. Ward would hold off perennial winner Tracy Fritter, Josh Baldwin, Randy Kerns, and Brandon Fluharty to the stripe.

A wild Hotmod main event would see a flurry of action with Mike Conkle coming out on top. Race long leader Chad Smith and Conkle would drag down the backstretch heading for the checkered when the lead duo would make contact entering turn three resulting in Smith spinning in turn four before gathering it back up and finishing seventh, while Conkle would go on to claim the win. Rounding out the top five were Codi Eaton, Brad Dickson, Chris Ice and Bobby Kimball.

The ‘Little Ice Man’ Jacob Ice would set the tone to the evening by picking up yet another MWRA Mini Wedge main event.
