STACY AMERICAN MODIFIED WINNER AT KILKARE
By: Jerry Wahl

Xenia, OH. (6/17) - It was Open Wheel Friday night at Kil-Kare Speedway Friday night with the American Modified Series, Buckeye Super Sprints, and USAC Ford Focus cars providing the action on a cool evening.
Hitting the race track first was the American Modified Series for their fifty lap feature event with third fast timer Rob Yelton and second fast timer Greg Stapleton on the front row of the twenty-five car field. At the drop of the green it was Yelton out front with fast timer Mike Sracy moving into second. Stacy went to the outside of Yelton but Yelton kept shaking him off until lap five when Stacy took the front spot
Gary Eaton moved into third dropping Stapleton back to fourth as former AMS champion Mike Carroll was up to fifth. Stacy began to weave his way through slower traffic as he put some distance over the field. It was flat out racing until lap twenty one when Ralph Harrod lost it on turn four and spun to bring out the first caution.
The running order at this time was Stacy still in front followed by Yelton, Eaton, Stapleton, Carroll, Jim Lewis, Bill Burba, Bud Perry, Chad Poole, and Jerry Stapleton. At the drop of the green for the restart it was Stacy in the Smith's Wrecking special continuing to set the pace as again he started to pull away from the field. At the half way it still the same running order but former Kil-Kare track champ Dick Dunley was challenging Poole for tenth with Jason Timmerman also trying to get a piece of the action but Poole was not about to yield to them.
The fast pace Stacy was again in slower traffic as he weeded through the field as Mike Carroll was putting the pressure on Gary Eaton as he tried for fourth but Eaton kept shaking him off.
Claiming his first Kil-Kare AMS feature was Springfield's Mike Stacy, a long time competitor at Kil-Kare followed by Greg Stapleton in second with Rob Yelton, Gary Eaton, and Mike Carroll rounding out the top five.
