Race Recap:
Repeat winners have been hard to come by during the first half of the 2007 season at Limaland Motorsports Park. Ohio’s Quarter-Mile of Thunder is a racy bullring which has the ability to throw the drivers curveballs on a weekly basis. But this week, three race teams who have been very competitive found their way to victory lane once again. Twenty-nine cars were on hand in each of the three weekly divisions. Elwer Fence Sprints heat winners were: Mike Brecht, Scott Carter, and Darren Long. Ron Blair led the first start of the Elwer Fence Sprint feature race. Some contact deeper in the field caused heavy damage to Mike Dunlap’s machine and a complete restart ensued. Blair led just three laps before Phil Gressman surged to the point. Gressman kept the lead for six laps until Mike Brecht used the high line to execute a textbook pass for his turn at the front. The next 11 laps was the Mike Brecht show as he and Gressman sliced through lapped traffic. Another late race spin by Cory Seeling brought out the yellow. With just five laps to go, Gressman powered into turn one on the restart and pulled a classic slide job on Brecht to take the lead. Gressman was unchallenged on his way to victory number two for the year.
