BOSS Sprints Invade Montpelier This Sat., Sept 9th

The 2016 Buckeye Outlaw Sprint Series event at the Montpelier Motor Speedway fell victim to race day rain; however, the 2015 and 2014 races brought another standing room only crowds and an outstanding field of 40+ 410 Non-Wing Sprint Cars to the Montpelier Motor Speedway. The 2017 rendition being contested on Saturday, September 9th, should prove to be just as exciting with the Montpelier Motor Speedway, located in East Central Indiana, serving as one of the few select tour stops to an Indiana track for the Ohio based series. The series has brought 40+ cars to the Indiana/Ohio clash on each of their stops.

Kokomo, Indiana driver, Shane Cottle, picked up the feature victory for car owner Paul Hazen sweeping the non wing sprint competition at MMS. However, Cottle from the 6th starting spot had his work cut out from him. Indiana driver, JT Stapp, led the first 7 laps with Cottle briefly grabbing the lead from Stapp. Cottle was able to lead 5 laps before eventual 2015 BOSS Series Champion, Shawn Westerfield flexed his muscle overhauling Cottle on the top side in Turn 4. Westerfield maintained the lead before Cottle was able to repass Westerfield in the later stages for the top spot. 2015 USAC Silver Crown Champion Kody Swanson (Kingsburg, California) finished 2nd, while Ione, California’s Justin Grant finished 3rd (from 9th), Jon Stanbrough (from 7th), and Westerfield rounded out the top 5. Dallas Hewitt was the hard charger for the race.

The BOSS series is a non-wing 410 Sprint Car series that competes in true “Outlaw” style with the absence of tire rules allowing any brand or compound of tire to compete along with a no entry fee policy for competitors. The BOSS series, through sponsorship, pays “heat race money” to the top finishers in each heat race and also provides a number of contingency and cash awards to competitors at the conclusion of each event. The Montpelier Motor Speedway event will pay a healthy $1500 to Win and $250 to Start along with tow money and the aforementioned contingency awards.

The Montpelier Motor Speedway, which began racing in 1903 and hosted its first automobile race in 1915, is one of America’s oldest remaining racing facilities. While the east central Indiana ¼ mile clay oval has a historic past, the facility has seen many major modern upgrades the past four seasons including new restrooms and bleachers along with the addition of many safety features including a new catch fence and front stretch wall. The Montpelier Motor Speedway commonly competes weekly on Saturday Nights with its popular Modified and Stock Car divisions and is also the host to the popular Montpelier Motor Speedway Midget series.

To our fans traveling from the West via Indiana Highway 18 from I69. There are detours and road closed signs at the intersection of 18 and 3. The road is open all the way to the Montpelier Motor Speedway.... Just ignore them :)

Was a great show. Track held up. left after sprints as I was cold.
Good to see Stensland back in Victory Lane even if he don't own the car he was wrenching it. Was great talking with Dave SR as I haven't talked to him in about 5 years at Gas City. Got to talk with JJ Hughes, his wife, Finally got the meet Garrett Abrams. Chatted with Michael Fischesser, Bobby Gomph and others and even a hello from Josh and Jerry Spencer.. Sat in the pit grandstand which was definate improvement from my midget week last year perch in turn four.

Wasn't big on the break as it was cold. but it is what it is and I guess the track was a bit better for the feature.
Cooper Clouse was coming on strong the last seven laps and had fourth till jumping the cushion. don't know where he finished. but he came around after the checker with a flat RR.

Glad Irwin was ok. Only seen him do really well on slickies before last night but he was hauling the mail both in Heat and feature till the flip.

Was probably about my 7th BOSS show this year and had a excellent time as always

Re: BOSS Sprints Invade Montpelier This Sat., Sept 9th
 

Cooper was sure liking that wall coming out of 4 & that's what give him the flat there at the end.

I warned ya ta wear some clothes Chuck. LOL

I tried to stay & watch some more racing but the Mods had 1 spin at the start & then around lap 2 they had a big pile up right past the flagstand & I took off.

Re: BOSS Sprints Invade Montpelier This Sat., Sept 9th
 

If it had been cool for a few days. Last night wouldn't have bothered me much but being used to 80s-60s then getting 40s Brrr. I did have a couple jackets on. Just wind was steady and constant. At least it was blowing the right way.

Re: BOSS Sprints Invade Montpelier This Sat., Sept 9th
 

Seen you at montpieler last night.even yelled at you but you would not get away from the food line ha ha

I enjoyed my first BOSS series event and the facility. Hope to make more sprint shows at the track. I also did not like the time spent to work the track prior to sprint feature. I am sure it did provide a better track. No complaints.

Gotta believe the BOSS regulars are happy to schedule against USAC

Why wouldn't they?
