ONA, WV-The 2024 season got underway at the Ona Speedway on Saturday, April 20th with the Delegate Daniel Linville Cabin Fever Bash.\u00a0 A good crowd was in attendance on a crisp cool evening that saw legendary Marshall University football coach Bobby Pruett in attendance.<\/p>\n

The night started with the 20 lap All Seasons Powersports Late Model feature.\u00a0 Jake Keaton wrestled the lead from polesitter Mike Burcham to lead every lap and score the opening night win!\u00a0 Mike Burcham finished second with Joe Fihe third.<\/p>\n

Wes Smith took the lead to start the nights 25 lap LG Pressure Washing Modified feature.\u00a0 Andy Booten quickly moved into second with Jeremy Cooper and third.\u00a0 The top three stayed close for the opening laps as Smith started to pull away as the laps wore on.\u00a0 Booten and Cooper had a good battle for second with Booten able to maintain the position.\u00a0 The Chris Miller for WV Governor competition caution flew at the halfway mark on lap 13.\u00a0 On the Tri-State Stoneworks restart, Smith continued with the lead while Booten and Cooper were tucked in close behind him.\u00a0 Just like in the first segment of the race, as the laps wore on Smith pulled away as he would lead every lap and take the feature win!\u00a0 Booten finished second with Cooper third, Rob Dunlap fourth, and Danny Vickers fifth.<\/p>\n

Perhaps the wildest race of the night was the 20 lap Three Sixteen Motorsports INEX Legends Car Semi-Pro feature.\u00a0 Dean Brotherton took the lead at the start with Kenny McComas, Jeremy Dosier, and Frank Lusher all on his tail.\u00a0 Dosier put his #23 machine to the highside and by lap 5 was to Brotherton’s outside for the lead.\u00a0 As Brotherton and Dosier came off of turn 4 side by side for the lead, the approaching lap car of Elijah Johnson broke in front of them.\u00a0 Both cars had to take evasive action to avoid hitting Johnson as unfortunately that would cause Dosier to get into the guardrail.\u00a0 He would be done for the race.<\/p>\n

On the Tri-State Stoneworks restart, Brotherton would maintain the lead with Lusher a few car lengths behind until Brotherton would spin on his own from the lead on lap 10.\u00a0 This left the lead to Frank Lusher, who would lead the next three laps before he spun on his own from the lead on lap 13.\u00a0 This inherited the lead to Kenny McComas who would lead the remaining laps and come across the checkered flag to score his first career win!\u00a0 Dean Brotherton came back up to finish second with Scott Brotherton third, Frank Lusher fourth, and Dosier in fifth.<\/p>\n

Jason Garrett took the lead to start the nights Three Sixteen Motorsports INEX Legends Car Pro race.\u00a0 Garrett would maintain a couple car length lead over Jake Keaton and his younger brother Dale Garrett who had a great battle for second.\u00a0 Garrett would lead as the field came across the line on lap 10 to the Chris Miller for WV Governor competition caution.\u00a0 On the Tri-State Stoneworks restart, Garrett continued with the lead while Dale Garrett and Keaton had a good battle for second.\u00a0 Off of turn two on lap 11 Dale was ahead of Keaton but Keaton would power back around him off of turn four.\u00a0 Another Chris Miller for WV Governor caution would fly on lap 16 as Randall Cline spun on his own.\u00a0 On the Tri-State Stoneworks restart, Jason Garrett would continue with the lead and lead the remaining laps to take the feature win!\u00a0 Keaton finished second with Tyler Martin third, Adam Jeffrey fourth, and Randall Cline fifth.<\/p>\n

Kenny Chapman and Marty Powers had a fierce battle for the lead to start the nights 30 lap Haunted Majestic Street Stock feature.\u00a0 Powers from the outside would lead lap one while Chapman would regain the lead on lap two.\u00a0 After a few laps of side by side racing Powers would tuck back behind Chapman in second.\u00a0 Meanwhile, the battle for third was an intense one between Tommy Rowe and Mike Christy.\u00a0 The Chris Miller for WV Governor competition caution would fly at lap 15 with Chapman leading.\u00a0 On the Tri-State Stoneworks restart, Chapman would once again hold off Powers for the lead with Powers tucking right behind Chapman.\u00a0 Trouble would strike for Mike Christy on the restart as he continued on but was noticeably slower with some sort of mechanical problems.\u00a0 As the laps wore on, Chapman would continue to pull away and lead the remaining laps to take the feature win!\u00a0 Powers finished second with Rowe third, Chris Wheeler fourth, and Christy fifth.<\/p>\n

The final race of the night was the Contempo Trophy & Awards UCAR feature.\u00a0 Polesitter Jake Burgoff appeared to miss a gear at the start allowing outside polesitter Joe Workman to jump to the lead.\u00a0 Chris Deskins was also able to get around Burgoff to move into second.\u00a0 During the first half of the race, the top four of Workman, Deskins, Fowler, and Burgoff stayed nose to tail.\u00a0 On the lap 13 Tri-State Stoneworks restart from the Chris Miller for WV Governor competition caution, Workman would continue with the lead with Deskins right behind him in second.\u00a0 As the laps wore on, the race for the lead became all the more intense with Deskins giving Workman slight bumps to let him know he was there.\u00a0 With three laps to go, into turn one, Deskins looked to the inside of Workman as the two made contact causing Workman to spin around and bring out the caution.\u00a0 In what was a spinner-spinnee incident, Deskins decided to tap out, giving the lead back to Workman while Deskins went to the tail.\u00a0 On the restart, Workman led the remaining laps to come across the checkered flag and take the win!\u00a0 Burgoff finished second with Fowler third, Deskins fourth, and David Adkins fifth.<\/p>\n

The Brody Nash Century 21 Crown Vics saw only one car in attendance.\u00a0 There are more local cars registered that will hit the speedway, those cars just were not done in time for the race.\u00a0 Ona Speedway remains 100% committed to this class that has taken off everywhere and is excited to see just how much the class will grow this season.\u00a0 Car counts in all divisions are expected to grow as there were several cars in each division not ready yet.<\/p>\n
