Ohio's Fun Place to Race!!
2024 Race Season |
 | July 19, 2003 |
 The thirty-lap feature event on Lincoln Welder night capped off a beautiful night for racing at Midvale Speedway nestled in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains. The tight 3/10-mile oval proved tricky for the big block monsters with the start of the race for the third year running was marred with an accident. As the field checked up in turn one A.J. Davis climbed a wheel and spun across the track collecting Tim Jedrzejek, Dave Mumaw and Gary Cambrare. With the track blocked, the red flag was thrown to clear the melee. All four drivers continued.
On the second effort, polesitter Rich Reid of New London, Ohio out dueled Don Johnson for the point. The second chance proved better as the field settled into a rhythm on the tiny oval. By lap two the faster drivers were already on the move from the twelve car inversion with Pat Shullick making a run from fifth to second. Right on his heels was Burch up from seventh.
After a caution for a harmless spin Larry Lehnert Jr., Burch went to work on the high side. On lap four he nabbed a spot from Shullick, but not before the two knocked wheels on the front chute with Burch bouncing off the concrete wall. With the momentum flowing, Burch ran down leader Reid and put his Tim Strah owned machine out front on lap six.
With Burch running off with a straightaway lead, all eyes turned toward the movers in the pack, Jack Smith, Charlie Schultz, Jedrzejek and Davis. Smith worked his way through the field from eleventh in an effort to run down the long-gone leader. As the laps ticked away, Smith closed to the rear bumper of Burch in traffic only to be thwarted by a spin by Jon Henes on lap 22. On the restart Burch held his line giving little room for Smith to maneuver. "I knew somebody was back there," noted the winner, "but I never saw him, so I wasn’t too nervous." Smith had one more shot after Don Johnson’s loop in turn one on lap 27, but Burch proved to be too much on the restart stretching his lead in the final three go-arounds. Smith held on for second followed by Shullick, Schultz (subbing for injured Denny Fisher) and Jedrzejek.
"Awesome Baby!" were the first words out of Middleburg Height’s Ohio’s Randy Burch’s mouth after climbing from his roadster in Midvale Speedway’s victory lane Saturday night. The sophomore driver and former rookie of the year survived a late race caution and a spirited run by Sandusky, Ohio’s Jack Smith to notch his first ever Midwest Supermodified Association A main. Burch, driving the Merck’s Ticket Agency, Thunder Alley Graphix, Racethreads machine pocketed $1500 for the win.
"This is what teamwork is all about. We faltered a little bit the last few races but stuck with it," said the smiling Burch in victory lane. "I was wondering if we were ever going to win after the past couple of weeks. We’re still a young team and we’re still learning. We’re going through our growing phase right now. Everything is starting to come together," Burch added.
The Midwest Supermodified Association returns to action August 9 and 10 with races at Lorain County Speedway and Toledo Speedway.
In other action, Tom Newman, Jr. was victorious in his Performance Metal Works/Allied Auto #10, at the conclusion of the Late Model 25-lap feature. Newman followed his win up with some excellent donuts at the Figure 8 track’s intersection. John Wilson picked up the win in the Tolloti Pipe Modified feature, as he was able to hold of Dusty Woodie and Mark Striker for the victory. In Pro Stock action, Tim Skinner made two late race passes to pick up the victory. In the Papa John’s Pure Stock feature, D.J. Radanovich started on the pole and went on to notch his first career Pure Stock feature win. And in Compact action Greg Grove was able to hold off a last lap challenge from Randy Smart to pick up the tough victory.
Racing will continue this coming Saturday night, July 26, as all five divisions will be on hand. At intermission, kids in attendance will each have the opportunity to ride around the speedway in their favorite racecar. Racing starts at 6:30.
