Fast paced
action leads to big event at the fair
Nisonger sets the bar among local drivers
By George Starks
GREENVILLE-Eighteen races loaded the Thursday night card at the Darke
County fair on what could be described as a very chilly night in August.
The action was fast paced as several times were under two minutes for
the mile.
After recording six wins earlier in the week, Greenville driver Jeff
Nisonger added four more bringing his win total to 10 with one more
night of racing left, including the Arnie Armahurst trot and the Gene
Riegle Memorial.
In addition, Chris Hope picked up two more victories bringing his win
total to five for the week, second behind Nisonger for the coveted Chip
Noble Award.
Nisonger got his first win of the night in the second behind Flying
Penelope in 2:02. Nisonger came back in the following race with Momma’s
Jolt in 1:56.4.
Two races later, Nosonger was back in the winner’s circle with Citori
while picking up his fourth of the night in the sixth behind Blue Bank
K in a fast trot, going 2:02.2 for the mile.
Hope got his opening win of the night in the ninth driving SectionLine
Emery to the wire in 2:03.2.
Win five for the week came in race 15 as Lookout Beaches crossed in a
time of 2:05 in a slow pace.
