Having Fun at the Track

Congratulations to the 2010 Champions

Jackson Long Wins Feature / Caity Miller Wins Championship

The Clover Hydro JR Jammer was the race to watch Saturday night, with Caity Miller only 17 points ahead of hard charging Kaleigh Sullivan for the championship. As the day went on and Sullivan seemed to be a no show, Sullivan shows at the track with no car! Her motor apparently blew at the shop, but she came anyway, hoping to get a ride to finish out the season. Johnathon Timms stepped up and let Sullivan borrow his ride.” A big Thank you goes out to Jonathon Timms for his sportsmanship.” So the race was on, both Miller and Sullivan started from the rear of the field in the heat race, and they both got a good jump on the start with Miller taking the lead. They ran nose to tail for the entire race, and on the last lap- last turn, Sullivan got under Miller trying to make the pass for the win and they both touched, sending them sideways down the front straight away. Miller took the Checker Flag sideways over Sullivan. Miller gained 1 more point over Sullivan, meaning that all Miller had to do was start the feature to clinch the Championship. Miller did start the feature and took the lead on the start, but by lap 13 Miller had blown her motor and was done for the event, still winning the Championship by a small margin of 10 points. This was Millers first year in racing; she racked up 6 feature wins, 8 Heat race wins and 3 trophy dash wins, and now the biggest trophy of all, 2010 Clover Hydro JR Jammer Champion. Congratulations Caity Miller. Jackson Long went on to win his second feature event of 2010, leading the final 17 laps, and his third trophy dash. Following Long were Sullivan, Joshua Vasquez, Alisha Herron, Hayley Bishop and Miller.

Ellis Thornton Wins Feature and Championship

The Clover Hydro Pro Jammer also had a small margin for the championship in the top three spots between Eddie Klein, Mike Peterson and Ellis Thornton. The night started off with Klein winning the Trophy Dash over Peterson, Patrick Thornton and Deake Lyndall. Peterson went on to win the heat over Klein, E Thornton and Jimmy Foley. Clearly, Ellis Thornton was on a mission to win the feature and clinch the Championship. Following E Thornton in the feature were Peterson, Klein, Foley and P Thornton. Other achievements for Ellis Thornton for 2010 are 4 Feature event wins, 3 trophy dashes and 2 heat race wins. Congratulations Ellis Thornton

Miller and Sullivan Battle for the Lead

Last Saturday night we saw Kaleigh Sullivan in the Jr. Jammers lead the first 8 laps; she was almost a half a lap ahead of the field until a caution came out for Deake Lyndall, who lost a tire on the back straight away. On the restart, Sullivan set the pace with Alisha Herron on her outside. The next caution was for Nolan Forsythe, who hit the turn three exit gate hard and had everyone in suspense waiting for Forsythe to get out of his jammer. When Forsythe appeared out of his car, you could hear the sigh of relief as the announcer let everyone know the driver was ok. Sullivan once again started the full field of jammers but had hard charger Caity Miller on her outside. Miller took over the lead, but Sullivan did not make it easy for her, lap after lap Sullivan was putting a lot of pressure on Miller, they even rubbed on the front straight away during the white flag lap. Miller took the white flag going sideways, Sullivan checked up, letting Miller straighten herself and the race was on with one lap to go. Sullivan did whatever she could, driving as hard as she could, but came up short. Miller won the Jr. Jammers feature. Following Miller were Sullivan, Jackson Long, Hayley Bishop, Herron and Forsythe. Winning the Jr. Jammers trophy dash was Long, with Miller winning the heat. During feature trophy presentation, Miller was quoted “Thanks to all the jammer drivers and crew for helping me with the car after crashing during hot laps!”

Peterson Earns 5th Pro-Jammer Feature Win

Mike Peterson took over the lead on lap 9 and started pulling away from the field. It wasn’t until lap 17 that Ellis Thornton caught up to him, they ran nose to tail and side by side for the remainder of the race. Peterson won the Pro-Jammer feature, following Peterson were E. Thornton, newcomer Dave Ski, Patrick Thornton and rounding out the top five was Eddie Klein. Winning the Pro-Jammers trophy dash was Deake Lyndall, with Ski winning the heat race.
