Westerfeld opens 2016 with win!
A former Kelsey Chevrolet Sprint Car Track Champion at Lawrenceburg ended the night in Victory lane. Guilford, Indiana’s Shawn Westerfeld was fast all night long and took the green from the 5th starting position. Nick Bilbee started on the pole and quickly pulled away and had the race in control until the race’s first yellow came out and Bilbee realized he had a flat left rear. He would enter the pits and re join the race but was unable to contend for the win. That gave Mike Miller the lead who led for a few laps until Westerfeld was able to make the move foe the top spot and pull away for the win. Near the end of the 25 lap feature, Garrett Abrams was running the high side and may have challenged for the win if he had more time. He wound up third behind Westefeld and Miller. The rest of the top 5 were Jarrett Andretti and defending champ Joss Moffatt. Heat race winners were Mike Miller and Shawn Westerfeld. The Kelsey Chevrolet Sprint Cars return To Lawrenceburg on Saturday April 23rd.

Corebin McRoberts wins thriller in PureStocks Opener!
The two cars to beat in the Impact Sports Pure Stocks feature were JD Largent and Will McRoberts. Largent took the lead early and looked to be the dominant car. Will McRoberts a multiple time track champion would catch Largent and the two would make contact several times battling for the lead. Several times almost wrecking but both drivers were able to keep their cars facing the right direction as they battled lap after lap for the lead. The caution would slow the field with a few laps to go and set up for a showdown between Largent and Will McRoberts. What they didn’t realize is that Corebin McRoberts, Will’s son was also wanting to race with the leaders. As Largent and the older McRoberts battled it out, Corebin was able to pass both of them and hold on for the feature win, the second win of his career.
