oFast Action on the Hilltop 000May 25 – 2007

	Millersburg OH – Dave Wirt began the night by setting Late Model fast time and heats were won by Wes Morrison Jr. and Jason Flory. Dave Hornikel set a libstering pace to win the fast dash followed by Norm Aronhalt making up the feature starting row. Opening laps were slowed by a few cautions but when racing stayed green Hornikel took charge of turns one and two while Aronhalt was best in turns three and four as these two fought for the lead the entire race. Meanwhile, late arriving and starting on the tail, George Lee began picking off cars one by one and by half way had closed in on the top five then passed both Thomas Baker and Dave Wirt to claim third. Baker was enjoying a great run and got around Wirt to chase down and challenge Lee for third as laps neared the end. Aronhalt made a third corner pass stick in the late stages and Hornikel barely held on for second with Lee and Baker in close pursuit.

Misfortune stole one sure win from Mark Gardiner a few weeks ago; he was not going to be denied the win on this night. Right out of the box he set fast time only to finish fourth in a dash that was won by Andy Parks. When the green fell for the feature event a slip by Parks put Barry Jacobs into the lead and Gardiner already in second, then a yellow, a good restart and after a brief battle with Jacobs the “Massillon Missile” claimed the lead and was never touched. There was no shortage of three wide action close behind as Aronhalt, Jacobs, Blaine Aber, Brandon Morrow, and Rory Reed fought for position.

Pure Stock heats were won by Brandon Gardner, Fred Snyder, and Travis Mensching setting the stage for another exciting door to door race for the win between Gardner and Snyder. Donna Canode, Dave Haven Sr., and a hard charging Don Baney filled the top five. Mini Stock racers Charlie Ray, Ernest Fortune, and Dale Beckett Jr. won heat races and were front runners during the feature joined by Josh Hershberger and Tom Ogle also in the top five. Jesse Combs has stepped up to even the score in Mini Trucks and claimed a second feature win over Brandon Craver, Chaz Odell, Tom Garlick, and Gail Wallace.
