Spectacular
Haudenschild (All Stars), Swindell (NRA Sprint
Invaders and Bacon (BOSS) Capture Wild Wins
ROSSBURG,
OH (October 12) –Jac Haudenschild
(All Star Sprints) lived up to his moniker as ‘the wild child’, while
Kevin
Swindell (NRA Sprint Invaders) threaded a needle that no one else dare
try and
Brady Bacon (BOSS Sprints)rode the wall for 25 laps Saturday night as
119
Sprint Cars jammed the Eldora Speedway pit area for the UNOH
Sprintacular.
After
capturing the six-lap dash race,
Haudenschild earned himself the pole starting position for the All
Stars’
30-lap season-ending event.
With his
mastery of the Eldora .500-mile clay oval well chronicled, everyone
predicted a
yawner.
Haudenschild
didn’t let the naysayers down, as
he darted into nearly a full straightaway lead over the field.
That
lead was minimized when Sam Hafertepe, Jr.
and Caleb Helms collided in turn one to bring out the red flag and halt
the
race. In the melee,
Kevin Swindell
protected his runner-up positioning by doing a series of spins and
narrowly
missing the stopped cars.
In doing
that; however, Swindell suffered some wing damage that virtually took
him out
of the running.
On
the restart, Haudenschild again showed his
prowess but lapped traffic soon came into play, and the field inched
their way
into Haudenschild’s playground. Randy
Hannagan was the first to show his cards and narrow the lead. He brought with
him Shane Stewart which led
to a three-way battle that had the crowd literally on their feet.
With
ten laps to go the trio swapped the lead
multiple times around the track, pulling the infamous Eldora ‘slide
job’ on
each other, yet when they would cross the finish line, Haudenschild
would
manage to inch back out front.
It
continued that way right up to the closing
laps, as eventual series champion Dale Blaney decided to join the fun;
bringing
with him Tim Shaffer to set up a wild five car battle to the checkered.
In
the waning laps, all five had heavy lapped
traffic enter the mix; finding them using the entire 90’ width of
Eldora.
Actually
tagging the wall coming out of turn
four, Haudenschild nosed ahead of Hannagan to take the victory, his
ninth
career All Star win at Eldora, by .047 seconds over Hannagan. Blaney, who
swapped engines after time
trials, crossed the line third, followed in close order by Stewart and
Shaffer.
Multiple
caution periods added to the attrition
rate during the NRA night capper, but that didn’t diminish the
intensity of the
race; particularly up front.
Butch
Schroeder, who captured the NRA title last month, shot into the early
lead and
looked to be en route to his fifth career NRA event on the Eldora high
banks.
But,
enter Kevin Swindell. Fresh
from the All Star race, Swindell had
insider knowledge on the track conditions, and near the half-way point
of the
20-lap chase, reeled in Schroeder.
After
Swindell pulled up alongside Schroeder to
identify himself as a contender, the defense was on.
Schroeder and Swindell slid each other
through the turns, and then, with seven laps to go, the pair encroached
upon
lapped traffic which sent both of them to the low side.
Schroeder, in trying to save his lead,
went
what seemed as low as you could go in turn three.
Swindell was convinced there was even
more
room there and somehow put his car between Schroeder and the inside
wall to
take the lead he was to hold to the finish.
Schroeder
hung on for second, while Chuck
Hebing came in as a newcomer and pulled off a strong third place finish. Jared Horstman
and Bryan Sebetto completed
the top five.
As
the winged warriors of speed completed their
final laps of the 2013 season at Eldora, the non-winged BOSS (Buckeye
Outlaw
Sprint Series) moved to the track with their 24-car starting field that
had
been pared down from the 54 entries.
Thinking
that the previous two features had set
a standard unable to be beat, the non-wingers proved that to be a
fallacy. Luke
Hall out powered Matt Westfall at the
dropping of the green flag on, what was soon to be, a 25-lap non-stop
affair.
Westfall
never let Hall out of his sight, and
waged a wild battle up front that was quickly joined by Bacon. As Westfall and
Bacon fought for the
runner-up honor, Hall looked to be in clear sailing.
However, Westfall and Bacon found
themselves
getting quicker in their battle and soon perched themselves on Hall’s
tail. In
a daring, up against the wall
move, Bacon swept by both of them on lap nine.
That
momentum remained with Bacon as he began
to upon up some distance over the field.
And, as quick was Bacon became, Chris
Windom became even quicker. Buried
deep in the field (12th) at the start,
Windom had his work cut out for him, but he was relentless in his
charge to the
front. He
disposed of Hall and then challenged
Westfall in a battle that he won out with ten laps to go.
He
tried to get up to Bacon, but ran out of
time and had to settle for runner-up honors, as Westfall hung on to
third. Dallas
Hewitt and Gary Taylor came on strong
in the closing laps to complete the top five.
