The O'Reilly Auto Parts/ American Compressed Steel/ Hoosier Tires Winged Outlaw Warriors ran their eighteenth race of the year this evening at The New Capital Speedway in Holts Summit, MO. There were 22 sprint cars on hand. Bobby Hawks, Bryan Grimes, and Randy Martin won their respective heat races this evening.
Randy Martin got the jump from the inside of the second row and was able to get by both Grimes and Hawks in turns 1 and 2 to claim the lead on the first lap. Hawks, Grimes, and Boyer fell in behind Martin. Fifth place Steve Dean had something in his front end break on lap 2 and went for a wild ride in turn 3. Steve ran of the track and into the concrete barrier hard. His car would be wadded up from the wreck, but he was alright. Bryan Grimes took second place from Hawks in turns 3 and 4 after the restart. He took a peak to the inside of Randy in turn 1 on lap 3, but could not make a pass. Curtis Boyer moved by Hawks on lap 5 to claim third. Bryan continued to stalk Martin in the laps to come. Finally, Grimes was able to pass Martin in turn 3 on the 9th lap while they were both in traffic. Randy returned the favor in turn 1 to reclaim the lead. Tracy Nichols passed Terry Hinck on lap 11 to slip into the top 5. Bryan took over the lead once more in turn 3 on lap number 13. The two swapped once more when Martin got back by Grimes in turn 3 on the following lap. Two laps later, Randy was enjoying a 12 car-length lead over Bryan when Chuck Hines flipped in turn 3 to bring out the red flag. Randy Martin got the good restart he needed and was able to hold off Bryan in the final laps to win for the second week in a row in the Diamond Pet Foods #14. Bryan Grimes settled for second in the Bo Parks #6. Bobby Hawks, in the Lumley Trucking #5H, got by Curtis Boyer on the final lap to finish in the third position. The hard charger for this evening's race was Tim Doogs, who moved up eight positions from his 16th starting spot.

There were 19 sprint cars on hand at Capital Speedway tonight for the O'Reilly Auto Parts/ American Compressed Steel/ Hoosier Tires W.O.W. Eric Schrock and Randy Martin won the heat races.
Eric Schrock, in the H&S Sales #86, grabbed the lead on lap 1. Terry Hinck and Randy Martin settled in behind him. Gennetten and Nichols found themselves rounding out the top 5 after 2 laps. Eric Jobe spun in turn 2 on the sixth lap to bring out the first caution of the race. Chris Crump spun out on the restart to bring out another caution. Steve Gennetten was able to get by Martin on the restart to take over third position. Randy would get that position back on the next lap. Marce Kronk spun in turn 2 on lap 12 to bring out the yellow flag. On the restart, Randy Martin drove hard into turn 1 and passed both Hinck and Schrock. Schrock got better grip in turn 2 and was able to get back by Martin. Randy did a slide job on Schrock in turn 4 on lap 13 and moved into the lead once again. The two cars touched wheels on the front straightway and then Eric did a slide job on Randy in turn 2 in an attempt to reclaim the lead. Randy cut underneath Schrock coming out of 2 and the two raced side by side down the back straightaway. Randy was able to regain the lead in turns 3 and 4. The battle for third got pretty exciting on lap 16 when Gennetten, Nichols, Hinck, and Hawks were all within a few feet of one another. Gennetten would claim the third position in turn 3 and Hinck would be fourth place. Marce Kronk's struggles continued on lap 17 when he spun out in turn 2 once again. On the restart, Tracy Nichols drove by Hinck and Gennetten in turns 3 and 4 to move into third place in the Putnam Chevrolet-Pontiac #19. Meanwhile, Randy Martin continued to lead by 5 car-lengths up front. Eric Schrock was unable to chase down the Diamond Pet Foods #14 of Randy Martin in the closing laps. This was Randy's first W.O.W. win of the year and the 17th of his career. Randy is first place on the all-time win list for the W.O.W.

The American Compressed Steel/ O'Reilly Auto Parts Winged Outlaw Warriors had 22 cars on hand tonight at Capital Speedway in Holts Summit, MO. Hawks, Schrock, and Martin grabbed the heat race wins this evening.
Point leader Eric Schrock took the lead on the first lap. Hawks and Martin fell in behind him. Randy Martin would get by Hawks in turns 3 and 4 on lap 2 to move into second. Bryan Grimes, who was currently running fourth, flipped wildly in turns 1 and 2 on lap 3. Grimes' left front wheel came loose as he was going into the first turn and caused him to flip six times. Bryan would walk away from the incident, but his car was destroyed. Steve Dean slipped by Curtis Boyer on the restart to move into the top 5. Clif Morton flipped a couple of times in turn 3 on lap 8 to bring out the second red flag of the race. On lap 10, Curtis Boyer flipped in turn 2. His car was not damaged very badly and he would return to the track after some minor repairs. Tony Crank flipped in turn 1 on the restart and landed softly back on his wheels. He was able to continue as his wing only received moderate damage. Bobby Hawks nicked the restart cone at the start/finish line on the restart. As a result, the yellow flag came out and he was forced to go to the back. Eric Schrock pulled away to a comfortable lead when the green was displayed once more. By lap 16, he had an entire straightaway between him and the Trent Motorsports #4T driven by Randy Martin. On the next lap, Randy broke something in his driveline in turn 4. He would be done for the evening. Nichols, in the Putnam Chevrolet/ Pro Powder Coating #19, would restart second now, but there was a lapped car between himself and Schrock. Eric Schrock got a good jump and was just not going to be beat by anyone tonight. He won by the 20 car-lengths over Tracy Nichols. The Castle Rock #5 of Steve Dean finished third. This was Schrock's third W.O.W. win of the season and his seventh overall. Eric is sponsored by H&S Sales, Smith Signs, and Hoosier Tires.

The Winged Outlaw Warriors had 25 sprint cars tonight and put on yet another good show. Steve Dean grabbed the lead at the drop of the green with Bobby Hawks and Tracy Nichols filing in behind him. My eye, however, was watching 2-time Knoxville Raceway Champion & 3-time State Fair Motor Speedway Champion, Randy Martin. Randy had mechanical problems in his heat race, but was able to grab the final transfer spot in the B. For several laps, things remained the same up front. But in the rear, Martin passed 3 cars on the first lap, 2 on the second, 1 on both the third and fourth laps, and 2 more on lap 5 putting him into eleventh position. The leaders began to incur lapped traffic on lap 7 but Dean was able to keep his lead nonetheless. On lap 14, Jesse Hockett shredded his left rear tire and bring out the only caution of the race. Dean was still leading with Hawks, Nichols, Trent, Schrock, and Adams behind him. By this time, Martin had worked his way up to seventh in the Diamond Pet Foods #14. After the restart, things got a little dicey for third place. Schrock, Nichols, and Trent would battle for it for two laps before they would settle into just that order. On lap 19, Steve Dean drove into turn 1 with the lead, but coasted into the pits out of turn 2. Steve relinquished the lead to Bobby Hawks due to mechanical problems. Hawks, who had stalked Steve the entire race, joyfully took the lead and the victory in the Lumley Trucking #5H. Eric Schrock in the H&S Sales #86 finished second and the Putnam Chevrolet #19 of Tracy Nichols took third. Randy Martin moved up 16 spots to finish fourth, overtaking Mike Trent on the final lap. Hockett despite his flat tire, maneuvered his way back through to field to take seventh.

Randy ran 2nd in his heat tonight. Randy felt that the engine wasn't up to par all night. Randy's fears were confirmed when he was forced to retire with 7 laps to go in the A Main. Martin was running 3rd at the time. Randy finished in the 10th spot. Eric Schrock won the feature. He took the lead from Cannell on the second lap of the race and led the rest of the way without a serious challenge. Damon Kronk finished 2nd, Rob Rimel third, Jesse Hockett fourth, with Lanny Carpenter rounding out the top 5.

(Brett Rugen)
The Winged Outlaw Warriors kicked off their fourth season Friday night at State Fair Speedway in Sedalia, MO. The near perfect weather led to packed grandstands at the historic ½ mile. Tonight's heat race winners were Peters, Alley, Doogs, and Ball. Eric Jobe won the B Feature this evening. Randy started 5th in his heat and was going to finish in the two spot when the flagman flipped on the yellow light on the white flag lap. The problem was that there was no caution. At this time Randy let off and Tony Stewart passed him going into turn 1.
In the feature, Jake Peters jumped out to an early lead on lap one and started pulling away immediately. By the end of lap 2, Tony Stewart moved up to fourth position after starting in eighth. Randy Martin worked his way up to 8th place buy the end of lap 3 from his 12th starting spot. On lap 4, Larry Ball Jr., who was second place at the time, spun out in turn 4 and made contact with the wall. He would not continue. On the restart, Peters once again pulled out to a comfortable lead. Randy Martin would pass Nichols and Chappell to move into the fifth spot. Stewart bypassed the #22 of Alley the following lap for second place. By lap 8, Peters had a straightaway lead on 2002 Winston Cup Champion, Tony Stewart. The following the leaders began to encounter some lapped traffic. The gap between Stewart and Peters shriveled to three car lengths by lap 13. Meanwhile, Eric Jobe flipped coming out of turn four bringing out the red flag. This would set up a seven-lap shootout. Peters, Stewart, Chappell, Martin, and Alley made up the top five at this point. On the restart Tony was able to get by Peters. Stewart would go on and claim the victory, winning by a comfortable margin. Zach Chappell and Randy Martin would also get by Peters in the closing laps to finish second and third respectively. Jake Peters would have to settle for fourth. Tracy Nichols passed Billy Alley on lap 16 to move into the fifth position. The WOW will be in action again next Friday night in Jacksonville, IL.
