What A Show!
Loney Wins UMP Modifieds
Woodard and Conover Split Eldora Stock Races
ROSSBURG, Ohio (May 21, 2016) – Nathon Loney won the UMP Modified race,
while Earnie Woodard and Jordan Conover split the Eldora Stock Car
events on an evening that saw some fantastic racing on Aaron’s Family
Fireworks Night at Eldora Speedway.
Cars were three and four wide for most of the night that kept the large
crowd on their feet at the historic half-mile clay oval.
Woodard, from Georgetown, Kentucky, moved past early leader Jeremey
Creech with six laps to go and went on the win the first A-Feature of
the Eldora Stock cars. Despite a late restart with two laps to go, he
held on for the victory.
It was his first victory at Eldora since 2011.
“I was looking at the trophies this morning and it’s been five years
and a week since I won here,” said Woodard. “We built a new car and
this is my fifth or sixth time in it. The engine was great, too. The
car feels good.”
Paul Pardo, from New Paris, Ohio, finished second after starting
eighth. Conover was third, while Rob Trent and Creech rounded out the
top-five. Conover and Trent are from the state of Ohio, while Creech
hails from Richmond, Indiana.
In the second A-Main, the lead lap cars were inverted, which meant
Woodard started 18th in the 24 car field. And the start was crazy as
Eddie Shaner, who started ninth, took the lead at the end of the second
lap as the faster cars attempted to make their way to the front.
Several cars went four abreast to gain position.
Andy Goode, from Greenville, Ohio, then took the lead midway, but was
passed by Conover who started back in 16th. With three laps to go,
Conover, Frank Paladino and Donnie Jeschke were three wide all going
for the lead.
But Conover was able to hold them off as Paladino, who started 12th,
finished second, while Jeschke finished third. Chris Douglas, from Lima
Ohio, was fourth, while Trent was fifth.
It was Conover’s first ever win at Eldora.
“I can’t believe it right now,” said Conover. “It’s been a goal for
four years to be on this stage. We’ve had bad luck and then worse luck.
We have a new car and in our third race, we’re up here now. I kept one
eye behind me and one eye ten cars ahead of me and we were able to get
it done.”
The biggest wreck of the night occurred midway through the race and
involved Jeff Matheny, Jarrod Klay and Pardo as they all collided on
the backstretch. All were uninjured.
Loney started second in the UMP Modified A-Main and battling Brian Post
side-by-side most of the way to secure the win. Loney, from Danville,
Ohio, scored his first win at Eldora Speedway.
“It’s crazy man,” Loney said. “It’s every man’s dream to win here and
it happened. I’ve only been racing seven years now and now I can quit
racing. I’m happy.”
Post, from Spencerville, Ohio was second, while Pennsylvania’s Jonathan
Taylor was third after starting ninth. Zach Schroeder, from
Leipsic, Ohio, was fourth, while Jeff Koz, who started 17th, finished
fifth.
The night ended with the largest fireworks show in Eldora history,
which received an enthusiastic ovation from the large crowd on hand.
The racing continues on Sunday, May 29 with the Miller Lite presents
the Johnny Appleseed Classic, featuring the Sunoco American Late
Models, NRA Sprint Invaders, DIRTcar UMP Modifieds & Eldora Stocks.
The gates open at 3:30 p.m. (EDT) with hot laps at 6 p.m. and racing
starting at 7:30 p.m. Tickets can be purchased at the box office, at
www.eldoraspeedway.com or by calling (937) 338-3815.
