"New Talent Dominates the MMSA this week"

The MMSA Winged Warrior Tour made their last appearance of 2015 at Lincoln Park Speedway this Saturday. Track conditions were favorable and the field was a great mix of new and old faces. The scene was set for some great high speed MMSA action.
Fast cars stacked heat one including Drew Dorsett (10), making his first return since last winning with the MMSA at Paragon Speedway earlier in the month Justin Lewis (77), who also won earlier in the season, and a very fast Danny Fitzgerald (88x) who recently has been a contender.
With the drop of the green they mixed it up, a hard charging Colin Parker (25) looked very promising in the first few laps keeping his car out front with a close following Colin Miller 2m and Dorsett (10). Parker would pull it in on lap 3 with mechanical issues leaving a battle to ensue between Dorsett (10) and Miller (2m). Meanwhile, further back side by side for 5 laps straight the 00 of Cory Meadows and the 77 of Justin Lewis battle for position. The heat went green to checkers without an issue and at the conclusion would see Colin Miller of Columbus Indiana victorious over Dorsett (10), Fitzgerald (88x), Smith (11), Lewis (77), Meadows (00), and Chambers (18c)

Heat number two rolled from staging with no lack of talent including drivers Kevin Rice (7) who recently has returned from a long break from racing, Dave Dorsett (15) the same, two former series Champions Scott Bradley (1x) and Andy Bradley (86), the (50) of Daniel Henderson and the familiar BMW powered number (51) of Paul Davis. This heat also included three drivers making their first MMSA appearances. The (23s) of Brad Strunk, the 98 of Brett Davis, and the (2j) of Jeramie England. Brett Davis (98) and Henderson (50) would bring the field to green, with Davis (98) taking the advantage, Paul Davis (51) and the (7) of Kevin Rice would battle for 3rd. Henderson (50) would fall back letting the elder Dorsett (15) around. Meanwhile from row 3 Bloomington's Andy Bradley would begin a charge from the bottom of the race track, Dorsett (15) would follow. Brad Strunk (23s) and the 1x of Scott Bradley also battled with Strunk taking the higher line and the advantage. Andy Bradley would get the (86) into clean air and would pull away with heat 2, he was followed to the line by Dorsett (15), the rookie Brad Strunk (23s), Bradley (1x), the (7) of Kevin Rice, Davis (51), Brett Davis (98), Henderson (50), and England in the (2j). Heat 2 was also very swift with no cautions and all green flag laps.

The MMSA racers enjoyed a lengthy break as the LPS modified division ran heat races and readied for the Patriot 100, which the 100 lap feature would be the main event of the evening. The MMSA racers and officials were very appreciative of track promoters Joe and Jill Spiker along with the competition director for running our feature program first.

Once the track was cleared of the other divisions the MMSA crew had the racers lined up and ready. The passing points system, which was developed to promote more competition had done just that mixing the top 6, and putting two rookies on the front row.

Fitzgerald (88x), and Strunk (23s) would bring the field to green. A flawless start the field completed lap one with no incident. Strunk (23s) would lead the field, with Fitzgerald in tow, followed by the 2m of Miller. A family battle between the Dorsetts (10) (15) going three wide with the (86) of Bradley would give Strunk (23s) and Fitzgerald (88x) some breathing room. Drew Dorsett (10) would eventually break free and give chase to the (2m) of Miller. Meanwhile further back Lewis (77) would slip by the elder Bradley in the (1x) although both charging to the front. Parker (25) also moved towards the front overtaking Chambers (18c), Davis (51), and Brett Davis (98). As the field thinned out, Dorsett (10) would move into third overtaking Miller (2m), meanwhile at the point Strunk (23s) had his hands full with Danny Fitzgerald (88x) holding a narrow margin. Dave Dorsett (15) struggled to find the line letting Lewis (77) and Bradley (1x) to slip by. With three laps remaining Strunk would lead Fitzgerald but a new challenge to both in the number 10 of Dorsett had joined the party. The rookie points leader Danny Fitzgerald must have known time was running out has he hauled his 88x in next to Strunk (23s) trying to take the advantage with Dorsett nipping at his tail. The white flag was presented and you could throw a blanket over the top 3 as they entered turn one. Again side by side down the back stretch it looked to be Fitzgerald with the advantage in turn three Dorsett would set up a slider but Strunk would move to the bottom and under Fitzgerald who got loose, at the line it was Strunk (23s) by a minimal margin, followed Fitzgerald (88x), and close by the 10 of Dorsett.

The feature event also went green to checkered without incident. MMSA would like to thank Joe and Jill Spiker again for providing an excellent facility for us this year. We would also like to thank all our racers and sponsors for putting on a great show.

This weekend the tour heads south to Chandler Motor Speedway, and the "Class Track" of Tri State Speedway, come see the premiere support series in action this weekend as we race for the kids of St Jude's Children's Hospital.
