to start for Late Models plus purse for AMRA Modifieds, Street Stocks,
Pure Stock and Four Cylinders.
Witham, Dickson & Fordyce get first Skyline win of 2003. Francis
and Rizer
are repeat winers
Ralph Witham, Mark Dickson and Toad Fordyce all picked up popular first
Skyline feature wins of the 2003 season at the Skyline Speedway Friday
night.
Athens Ohio's Witham dominated the Late Model main in the caution free
25
lap race.
Starting on the pole, Witham beat Mike McDaniel to the point in the opening
lap's race down backstretch, and quickly put time & space between
himself
and the rest of the field, eventually lapping up to the 7th place finisher.
Meanwhile McDaniel kept Andy Bond and Jason Montgomery at bay for the
2nd
position, using savvy driving, the track's cushion, and later in the race,
lapped cars as "rolling picks".
As the "5 laps to go" signal was given Witham was long gone,
but the battle
for positions 2-6 was far from determined. Todd Smith worked the low line,
and took the runner-up position on lap 23.
Montgomery followed Smith through the breach to nip McDaniel for third.
17th starting Freddy Carpenter charged to fifth by passing Andy Bond on
the
final lap.
In the post race interview, a jubilant Witham climbed out of the 'Landot
Used Cars/Southeast Imports/Boss Chassis' sponsored #1, thanking car builder
Toma Johnson who was present and stated he was glad to shake the monkey
of
his back that had plagued him early in the season.
The AMRA modified 20 lap feature was a nail biter that was slowed only
once
for a first lap caution.
Gallipolis, Ohio's Mark Dickson powered into the lead at lap 2 from his
third starting position with fifth starting John Burdette in hot pursuit.
This duo "officially" swapped the lead 4 times, but the on track
lead
changed hands at least twice every lap between the 7th and 17th lap.
While all in attendance were glued to the lead battle, Larry Bond wrestled
the third position from Roy Roush on lap 12, changed his line, and began
to
reel in the leaders.
Dickson retook the lead for the final time on lap 16, as Bond soon after
joined the 3 car battle.
As the trio raced 3 wide, Dickson stretched his slim advantage, and Bond's
last lap pass earned the runner-up finish ahead of Burdette, Roush, and
5th
place Danny Talbott.
A happy Dickson credited his crew & family for the win in the post
race
interview, and expressed his pleasure with the 'P&N Trucking/Boley
Enterprise/Integra Fabrication"Wizard" Chassis' #0.
Mineral Well's WV native Toad Fordyce's string of bad luck came to an
end in
the street stock feature, as Fordyce took to the high groove and grabbed
the
lead on lap 3 of the 15 lap event.
A pair of mid-race cautions was the closest the field could get to Fordyce,
as his 'Conner Cleaning Service/Canapari Race Cars' #04 beat Mike Martin,
Jeremy Blake, Dusty Boley and Frank Roush to the checkered.
In his victory lane interview, Fordyce credited brother Bill for a pre-race
chassis change that made the winning difference.
Parkersburg, WV's Eric Francis has been a stellar performer in pure stock
division, and Friday nights performance didn't disappoint as Francis led
green to checkered in the 12 lap main.
Francis earned his pole starting position by coming from last starting
position to win the first heat.
A trio of Hall's chased Francis's 'Mikes Auto Body' #5f Monte Carlo to
the
stripe, as Frankie, Harley and Joe Hall finished ahead of Tom Murphy,
who
rounded out the top five finishers.
Pomeroy Ohio's James Rizer successfully debuted a new car in leading
all 12
laps of the front wheel drive 4 cylinder feature. Following Rizer's '8-up'
were Ryan Adkins, Tyler Carpenter, Chris Carpenter and Kelly Temple.
***** Racing resumes this Friday night at the Skyline Speedway with racing
in all 5 divisions. Gates open at 5 pm, with hotlaps slated for 7
pm.*********

Conley's Disappointed at Thunder Ridge Finishes, Look Forward to Skyline,
K-C
(Wheelersburg, OH) All three Conley Motorsports, Inc. drivers were on hand
at the Thunder Ridge Racing and Entertainment Complex in Prestonsburg, KY
for this past weekend’s $5,000 to win MACS sanctioned event. R.J.
and Delmas Conley were both scheduled to race at Portsmouth (OH) Speedway,
but headed south due to persistent storms in the Portsmouth, OH area.
All three Conley’s were a threat to be dealt with, as Rod, R.J.
and Delmas all spent time in the Top Five during the feature event. Delmas
started on the outside pole and led the majority of the early laps in
the event until he made contact with his son Rod, who had just brought
out a caution for a flat tire. Delmas stayed on the track for a few laps,
but with heavy damage. He ended up with a disappointing 15th place finish.
Rod fixed his flat tire and the left rear quarter panel damage sustained
in the incident with his dad and went on to finish a solid 4th place in
the event. This was “Hot Rod’s” third straight Top Five
finish. R.J., who timed in second fastest, was as high as fourth in the
event, but pulled off late in the race and settle for a 10th place finish.
“All three of our cars were fast,” said R.J. from the Conley
Trucking shop on Monday. “Dad had the car to beat, but never saw
Rod until it was to late. It was a very disappointing night because I
think that we all had Top Five cars, but it just didn’t work out
that way.”
The Conley’s will be back at it again this weekend, as all three

By Jack Shutts
A brief rain shower just as hot laps was beginning delayed tonight’s
program for about 1hr. and 45 minuets, but with 115 cars in the pits and
a very good cloud of spectators Promoters Lou & Roxanne Hubbard sent
the track crews out and repacked the track. Hot laps where slow as the
track was a little greasy, but as the night went on the track became lightening
fast.
In Late Model action Ralph Witham and Larry Bond brought the pack to
the green, with Witham taking the early lead. Harold Redman Jr. moved
into second on lap 2, and looked to have all the right moves to win tonight’s
show, but on lap 10 he made contact with the leader and sent him spinning
to the infield. Redman restarted at the rear of the field and retired
7 laps later. On the restart Witham assumed command with Bond and Aukland
battling for second, for the next 6 laps the duo swapped 2nd. & 3rd
every lap. Aukland made the pass for second stick on lap 16 and began
working on the leader. Driving the Ostrum Painting, Impact Racing Decals,
Dolen Excavating, Malcuit Engines, Rocket Race Cars #12A, the Zanesville
Ohio driver moved to the inside on the last lap coming off turn 4 to pass
Witham and garner his first victory at the Skyline Speedway. Following
Aukland and Witham where Larry Bond, Mike McDaniel and Dan Morrison.
In the AMRA Modified Dirt Fever 25 invitational Larry Bond and Mark Dickson
lead the snarling field to the start. Mark Dickson jump out for the lead
with Bond right on his bumper. Ben Atkins moved around Bond for second
on lap 5, but Bond regain the second position on lap 13 and took the lead
two laps later. Bruce Dennis moved into second on lap 19 and tried every
thing to unseat Bond, but could not make the pass on the wily Coolville
Ohio veteran. At the strip it was Bond driving the Mike & Joann Quick
Racing, Hixson Engines, Ellis Race Cars #10 followed by Dennis, Ben Atkins
and a pair of 6th row starters of J.C. Casto and Larry Keefer.

Terry Atkins lead all 20 laps for the win. Mark Adkins passed Matt Long
for second coming off turn four on the last lap to take second. Following

was short lived as Consi winner Pat Gillian who started 16th took the

STARS Of Ohio Set To Shine At Skyline Speedway
By: Dustin Jarrett, STARS of Ohio PR
Stewart, OH -- If you're in Ohio on Friday, May 16th, you won't need
to look to the sky to see the stars. Instead, the "STARS" will
be on the race track at the 3/8-mile Stewart, Ohio oval known as the Skyline
Speedway.
Citing the rapidly growing popularity of the STARS Battle of the Bluegrass
(BoB) Series, STARS owner and founder Carl Short is looking into the possibility
of starting a STARS touring series in the state of Ohio. Short will use
the STARS name at the $3000 to win, $300 to start Late Model race at Skyline
Speedway on Friday, May 16th to see what kind of interest is shown from
both the fans and the drivers.
"The concept behind this race is the same as the STARS BoB Series
which has been so successful in Kentucky," Short stated. "We
think this same concept is something that is much needed in the state
of Ohio. Racing fans in Ohio know that their drivers are some of the best
in the country and we'd like to give them an opportunity to shine."
If the May 16th race at Skyline generates enough interest from both the
fans and drivers, Short is planning to "officially" start a
STARS of Ohio tour in 2004.
"There are so many great racers in and around the Buckeye State that
have the skills to run with some of the biggest names in the country but,
due to money, time, and/or work restraints, these drivers simply cannot
afford to travel very far," Short said. "In addition, many race
tracks do not have the ability to hold enough fans to pay the purse and
high sanctioning fees of a national series. The STARS of Ohio is just
what the local racer needs."
Short continued by saying, "The racers will have a series they can
follow that doesn't involve a lot of travel, yet pays better than a regular
weekly show. Additionally, these races will be events that fans will want
to attend because it will bring some of the best talent from the area
together on one race track, not to mention the possibility of a few nationally
known drivers showing up at any given time."
Lou and Roxanne Hubbard's Skyline Speedway will be the "test run"
for the STARS of Ohio. The race will pay $3000 to win and $300 to start.
"We're extremely excited about having Carl here for this race,"
Lou Hubbard said, "and we certainly believe this race can generate
enough interest to allow this thing to go into full swing next year."
Over the course of the last 16 months, the Hubbard's have quickly turned
Skyline Speedway into one of the premier Friday night tracks in Ohio.
During the off-season, a new concrete wall has been installed on the front
stretch replacing the old guardrail, and new restrooms can be found in
the pit area as well as the general admission section.
"The Hubbard's are rapidly turning Skyline into a real showplace,"
Short stated, "and we know the drivers can expect a great surface
to race on and the fans can expect to see a well-groomed facility and
an outstanding show. Most of the big names from the Mid-Ohio Valley are
expected to be on hand as well as some other drivers with a more regional
and possibly national 'ring' to them."
Mike Balzano won the first two races of the 2003 season at Skyline Speedway
while Steve Lucas picked up the win in the third event, the Topless 50.
Once again, this star-studded spectacular takes place Friday, May 16th
at the Skyline Speedway. Skyline Speedway is located east of Athens, Ohio
-- 4.4 miles off US Route 50 on County Road 53. For more information,
contact Lou and Roxanne Hubbard at 740-989-0567 or call 740-662-4111 on
race day. You can also visit their website at www.skylinespeedway.com
