BOSS To Close The Season Saturday at Waynesfield

For the final time in 2023, the stars and cars of the MPD Racing Buckeye Outlaw Sprint Series is set to thrill race fans young and old. The final battle will take place at Waynesfield Raceway Park this Saturday, October 28th in the Goblin Classic paying $2,000 to win the main event along with the modifieds, compacts and trucks in action.

Ricky Lewis has already clinched the tour championship, but there are may other storylines to set to unfold. Obviously, the final championship point standings will take center stage as second place Korbyn Hayslett is only 3 points ahead of Isaac Chapple. Cody Gardner appears to have a lock on the fourth position as Jesse Vermillion will look to hold off Lee Underwood to secure the top 5 spot. Underwood sits only 46 points in front of Brian Ruhlman for the sixth spot. Blake Vermillion, Steve Little and Dustin Ingle round out the current top 10.

Aside from the points chase, two drivers will have a shot at history on Saturday. In the 13 seasons of the BOSS tour, no driver has ever won more than five main events in the same year. California's Ricky Lewis and Pennsylvania's Carmen Perigo will be looking for their record-breaking sixth win. However, the current holder of the record five wins is Chapple who will be out to secure the runner-up points finish AND preserve his record.

On Saturday, pit gates will open at 1 pm with general admission gates opening at 2. Hot laps are set for 3:30 with race action beginning at 4:45. Adult general admission is $20 with juniors $10 and kids 12 and under free. Pit passes will be $30.

I went to Waynesfield Saturday, that is the way you run a end of the year show like this. They started early and rolled through, they had one short intermission(maybe 20 minutes) that they worked the track and let the kids go trick or treating at the pit gate. The track was rough and hard to pass but for the weather I thought they did the best that anyone could have. Ballou was there but stepped on his member in the heat when he through a slide job for the lead, caught a rut and flipped. I love guys being aggressive but under BOSS rules you go to the redraw weather you are first or second so he didn't need the spot. Damage didn't look too awful bad but I'm sure it was not worth starting on the tail of two races on that track so he packed up.
The feature lost some of it's luster when Ricky Lewis drew the front row, he went flag to flag. Chance Crum had a decent outing and it was fun watching Jadon Rogers and Max Adams, eventually they all got bit by the WMP turn two goblin as most people do. Westfall got to second but had nothing for Lewis as the track was more Lewis' style than Westfall's.
It's true that the Sprint feature was done very early. I stayed to watch the dirt trucks and the modifieds, the modifieds turned out to be a really good race and it ended with a last lap slide job for the win by Brian Ruhlman.
I left after that, took the wife to the Waffle House for dinner and was still home by 10:00 easy. Great effort by the track and officials.
