Conneaut, OH (July 27, 2010): Raceway 7 hosted the Auto Racers for Kids, Bonnell Collision Sprint Series racing for charity Tuesday night with Danny Mumaw and Jonny Boyd picking up the wins. Charities involved include the charities involved are the Children’s Miracle Network, the Make-A-Wish Foundation, Sarah Reed Children’s Center, Butterflies for Kids, Newspapers in Education, Junior Achievement, and the Kiwanis.
Twenty-four Sprints started the 25-lap feature for the Bonnell Collision Sprint Car Series with Dan Shelter and Eriez Speedway winner Jack Sodeman Jr leading the way to Roger Osburn’s green flag. Sodeman took off with the lead over Shetler and led by a quarter straight after just three laps. Bob Felmlee spun on the back straight at lap three and backed into the rail. Under the yellow Rod George headed to the infield and then pitside. After green, Sodeman again took off with Shetler falling behind. Eighth starting Danny Mumaw came to third at lap six while Sodeman and Shetler were approaching lapped traffic. At the halfway point Sodeman was threading his way through the backmarkers, allowing Shetler to close the gap. Mumaw managed to get by Shetler at lap 14 and then by Sodeman for the lead at lap 16. Mumaw won by several car-lengths with Sodeman second, Shetler third and Andy McKisson fourth. Cole Duncan was fifth.
The Mini Stocks were racing for $500 to win and eighteen of them showed for their 15-lap special. Brad Cole and Kyle Jackson II were on the front row with Joe Plesniak, coming all the way from the third row, getting the lead at lap one. Jason Easler stalled on the back straight just as the leaders crossed the line. At the restart Plesniak immediately took the lead with track points leader Jonny Boyd coming from his eighth starting position to second. After another yellow Jackson II was back to second. Boyd came back by Jackson II at lap six but Jackson was back in second a lap later. The spot see-sawed until lap seven, when Boyd made the pass stick. He then went after Plesniak, getting by at lap ten. Boyd went on to his sixth win of the season, and the most lucrative, paying $500 to win. Plesniak held on for second with Jackson II settling for third. Tim Gillette wound up fourth with Kyle Dickenson fifth.
