Max Adams Rolls the Dice at I-96 and Wins BOSS Main Event
A thirty car field and near perfect weather greeted the fans at Jeff Dice's I-96 Speedway Saturday night for the MPD Racing BOSS sprint car portion of the "Roll The Dice" Event. In the end, it was Loomis, California's Max Adams, aboard his family number 5 who scored the win in the 25 lap main event. He set the tone early in the night by lowering the track record nearly three-tenths of a second with a 15.672 second lap. The race was no cake-walk, as Adams redrew the dreaded 8 pill, rolling off from the outside of row number 4.
The evening began with six drivers besting the old track record during ARP Fasteners time trials. Besides Adams, Cody White, Dustin Ingle, J.J. Hughes, Keith Sheffer Jr and Steve Irwin all timed in under Landon Simon's old record of 15.936 seconds. Preliminary heat races were won by Dustin Daggett, Matt Westfall, Parker Frederickson and Isaac Chapple. Adams' night almost ended early. During heat race number one, he was going for the lead in search of a clean sweep night, when heavy track conditions found him bicycling the 5 car, sliding off the track and being forced to the rear of the field.
The always exciting MSD Ignitions B-Main found Keith Sheffer Jr in command in front of Jason Blonde. Mike Astrauskas, Danny Sams, Brian Ruhlman and Travis LcCombe also found their way into the 25 lap main event. The MPD Racing redraw put 2014 tour champion Mike Miller on the pole with 2019 champion Matt Westfall alongside. All four drivers at the top of the 2021 standings were in the redraw and starting in the front 7 positions, with Adams having drawn the eight.
The main event roared to life with Westfall grabbing the early lead over Isaac Chapple as the points leading duo looked to settle it on the race track. However, it was Max Adams on the move quickly from 8th to 3rd in just a few laps. The starting field of 22 cars put on a great race with a long green flag run until the first caution flag flew on lap 13.
On the restart, Westfall brought them to green, but Adams had gotten by Chapple for the runner-up spot and just a lap later was by Westfall off turn 2 for the lead. Two more yellow flags would slow the action, but Adams was never challenged as Westfall and Chapple completed the podium. Local favorite, Dustin Daggett, represented the local contingent with a fine 4th place run while Dustin Ingle rounded out the front five. Behind them, JJ Hughes, hard charger Luke Hall, Mike Miller, Jesse Vermillion and Dallas Hewitt finished out the top 10.
Matt Westfall now holds a 79 point lead headed into the final event at Waynesfield Raceway Park this Saturday, October 16th over Isaac Chapple. Mike Miller trails Chapple by only 26 markers while early point leader Cody White is just 49 from Miller. Every position is in jeopardy throughout the entire top 10 in what is no doubt the tightest overall points race in tour history! Be sure to join us Saturday to see how it all plays out in the BOSS finale at Waynesfield!

Meseraull Dominates BOSS at Fremont Speedway
By Brian Liskai
FREMONT, Ohio – Indianapolis, Indiana’s Thomas Meseraull survived early race cautions and drove away, leading all 25 laps of the MPD Racing Buckeye Outlaw Sprint Series (BOSS) for his third career Fremont win.
“This was right in my wheel-house…rip the lip with a big nasty cushion in turn four. It got a little rough and the track was super technical and I love that. I can’t thank the Simons enough for bringing me back to race in Ohio and win. I got my little girls another trophy,” said Meseraull beside his Full Spectrum Construction, Simon Racing, USI Cable backed #23s.
Meseraull grabbed the lead at the drop of the green for the 25-lap BOSS non-wing sprint car feature but the action behind him was fantastic involving Trey Jacobs, Luke Hall, Tyler Gunn, Steve Little and Matt Westfall. Hall moved into second on lap three and thanks to a few early race cautions stayed close to Meseraull. The final caution flew with 10 laps to go and Meseraull drove away to the win over Hall, Westfall, Steve Irwin and Gunn.

BOSS At Twin Cities August 28 Postponed
In a joint agreement between BOSS promoter, Aaron Fry, and Twin Cities Raceway Park promoter, Tim Keithley, the Saturday, August 28th event has been postponed. This event was added to the original MPD Racing BOSS schedule to fill a date left open on short notice. It is much easier to fill a hole in a schedule on paper during the off season. However, in reality, it is best if the major players in this sport can work together and make moves for the benefit of all involved.
This will allow more race teams and fans the opportunity to attend the USAC / Kokomo Smackdown the next three days. With the BOSS tour and the FAST tour booked up through October 16th, TCRP and tour officials are looking at booking the show on a different weekend in 2022. The next event at Twin Cities will be September 11th for the Family Chrysler Dodge Jeep Crate 50 that will also include the modifieds, super stocks, pure stocks, hornets and crown vics. The next BOSS event will be Saturday, September 18th at Fremont Speedway in Fremont, Ohio in a doubleheader with the FAST tour.
We want to offer our sincere apologies for the delay in announcing this cancellation, but it was NOT a decision made in haste or taken lightly. We wish everyone a safe and fun weekend, wherever their travels may lead.
Irwin Wins Caution Filled Fremont BOSS Main
Fenton, Michigan's Steve Irwin scored his first MPD Racing BOSS win of 2021 Saturday night. Driving the Flying Zero Racing mount, Irwin had to survive a plethora of early caution flags, one long red, then, fittingly for the night, a final last lap caution as Irwin raced under the checkered flag to score the win on Industrial Resourcing Group night at Fremont Speedway.
Twenty-nine traditional sprint cars signed in for the night. Split into 3 qualifying groups, Parker Frederickson, Irwin and Mike Miller quick timed their respective heat race groups. Frederickson was overall quick time with a 15.045 second lap. The three heat races ran caution free with Cody Gardner, Ricky Lewis, and Carmen Perigo claiming the wins. Local hero John Ivy won the 12 lap B-Main.
Irwin and Perigo brought the field to green for the 25 lap main event. The initial start saw Steve Little spinning down the front straight after contact. He was able to restart. Perigo would jump out to the early lead with Irwin in tow. Another 3 caution flags would fly before 5 laps were complete. Once the field spread out, Perigo and Irwin distanced themselves from the field. Perigo would lead through lap 12 when Irwin found the bite to drive around for the lead and eventual win.
The race's only red flag came on lap 14 when Drew Rader went for a wild ride in turn 1. Unfortunately, Isaac Chapple became a victim in the incident when Rader's 74 machine came down on him. A lengthy red allowed Chapple to make repairs as paramedics extricated Rader, transporting him to a nearby hospital for evaluation. Rader was released at 11 am Sunday morning and is back home.
Back under green, Irwin motored away from the field, leaving no doubt he was the class of the field this night. A yellow flew on the last lap as Irwin crossed the finish line as Tyler Gunn spun in turn 2. The final finishing order behind the top 3 were scored off the completion of lap 24. Perigo held on for second with Mike Miller, Matt Westfall and Jesse Vermillion completing the top 5. Dallas Hewitt, Cody Gardner, Mike Galajda, Dustin Ingle and Cody White rounded out the top 10.

BOSS & FAST Together Again at Fremont Speedway
It only happens a few times a year. When it does, it brings out the best in both tours. The MPD Racing Buckeye Outlaw Sprint Series will join the @Ti22 Performance FAST on Dirt tour at the historic Fremont Speedway this Saturday night, August 14th. Industrial Resourcing Group night at the races will also feature the winged 305 sprint cars and the always exciting dirt trucks on the Sandusky County Fairgrounds 1/3 mile dirt oval.
After a two week hiatus following a busy July, the BOSS tour returns to action with five events remaining. The most recent event winner, Matt Westfall, holds onto a slim point lead after claiming the Pittsburgh Pennsylvania Motor Speedway race. Currently second in points is the man on a mission, Isaac Chapple, who has rewritten the tour record book. Prior to this season, no driver had ever won more than 2 consecutive events and no driver had ever won more than 3 events in one season. Chapple reeled off an incredible 5 in a row, across four states, with wins at Richmond (KY), Ohio Valley (WV), Waynesfield, Atomic and Lernerville (PA).
Chapple is not the only threat to Westfall as 2014 champion Mike Miller lurks in the third spot and Fremont's own Cody White hangs onto 4th. Dustin Ingle completes a tough and competitive top 5. Cincinnati Sensation Saban Bibent sits 6th followed by Steve Little, the Vermillion bothers, Jesse and Blake, with Lee Underwood rounding out the top 10.
The FAST on Dirt tour just came away from its highest paying weekend in history with the $20,000 to win payday at West Virginia Motor Speedway won by Tim Shaffer. Vienna, West Virginia's Cale Conley used a pair of 3rd place finishes to extend his points lead over Lee Jacobs from Holmesville, Ohio. Newark, Ohio's Jordan Harble now secures the third spot with Max Stambaugh and Cole Duncan completing the top 5. Mitch Harble, Brandon Wimmer, Frankie Nervo, Trey Jacobs and Keith Baxter complete the top 10.
Saturday's gates open at 4 pm with racing at 7 pm. Adult general admission is $18 with seniors just $15. Students are $10 while kids 10 and under are free. All pit passes are $30. For teams competing, we will be using the yellow Westhold transponders. Raceceivers are mandatory. The BOSS tour and the FAST tour require NO membership or entry fees.

You do NOT have to run the same tire all night. There is no weight rule with BOSS and mufflers are NOT required on the BOSS cars.

Chapple Wins 5th In A Row at Lernerville ; Westfall Stops The Streak at PPMS
The Pennsylvania doubleheader weekend never disappoints when the MPD Racing BOSS tour comes to town. Isaac Chapple continued to rewrite the BOSS history book claiming the 25 lap / $2,000 to win main event at the legendary Lernerville Speedway Friday night. This was his 5th straight tour victory, a feat never before attained in the tour's 11 seasons to date. However, one night later, 2019 tour champion, Matt Westfall, stopped the streak by claiming the 25 lap main at Pittsburgh's Pennsylvania Motor Speedway.
Friday night's action found 22 sprint cars signed into 3 heat races. Qualifying in the groups were led by Carmen Perigo, Ricky Lewis and Dustin Ingle. Lewis laid down the overall fastest lap with a 15.387 lap. Heat races were won by Perigo, Lewis and Steve Little. Some excitement in the heats found 5th in points, Saban Bibent, taking a wild ride in turn one during heat 2. Then, in heat 3, Rick Holley executed a wild series of flips off turn 4. Thankfully, both drivers walked away, Bibent done for the night and Holley moving into the 4K car of Bill Kiley for the main event.
Carmen Perigo grabbed the early lead from his pole starting position in the main event that would see three caution flags. Outside front row starter, Isaac Chapple was able to get around Perigo and set sail for his incredible 5th straight BOSS win. It was Matt Westfall, racing from 8th to 2nd, but falling just short, yet setting the stage for the next night. Carmen Perigo held on for 3rd with Mike Miller 4th and Jesse Vermillion scoring his first career top 5 BOSS finish. Ricky Lewis electrified the fans with incredible slide jobs racing back to the front after being forced off the track and falling as far back as 13th, then charging to 6th. Justin Owen, Darin Gallagher, Brandon Spithaler and Cody White rounded out the top 10.
On Saturday at Pittsburgh, heavy attrition from the night before, couple with a nearby winged event keeping locals away, only 16 cars sign in to try to tame the Monster Half Mile at PPMS. And the monster DID eat some race cars.
Ventura, California's Ricky Lewis was again fast time overall leading group 1 with Carmen Perigo pacing the field in group 2. Lewis' 18.564 lap was an average speed of 121.202 mph. Parker Frederickson was impressive in winning heat race one while Isaac Chapple tamed the Monster in heat 2. During heat race one, Lewis got a little too close to the steel guardrail, then took a nasty series of barrel rolls through turn 2. Amazingly, the crew went to work and got Ricky back out for the main event in the same car!
Kokomo, Indiana's Parker Frederickson would lead the field to the green flag with Isaac Chapple alongside, but it was Carmen Perigo who showed the way early over Chapple with Matt Westfall third. The fans were again thrilled as Ricky Lewis raced his rebuilt machine through the field. Up front, Westfall was able to slip by Chapple for second and set his sights on the leader, but still, slowly sneaking up on his prey was Lewis as he was up into the top 5 battle with time remaining.
Westfall got by Perigo on lap 19 and appeared headed to victory when Lewis picked off Chapple and Perigo in a single lap and closed in on Westfall. On lap 23, Lewis got by Westfall on the high side, but the lap was negated when Cody Gardner flipped the Dom's Gulf 9 hard in turn 1 and 2. He was okay.
The 2 lap shootout saw Westfall lead the field to green with Lewis ready to pounce, But Westfall got the Ray Marshall 33M off to a great restart putting the necessary distance between himself and Lewis. With the white flag out, Lewis gave it one final hail-mary into turn 1, only to meet the same fate as his heat race run, flipping the 11 car many times through turn1 and 2. Again, luckily, he was out of the car unhurt.
Westfall was able to lead the one lap dash to the finish over Perigo, Chapple, Spithaler and Jesse Vermillion. The rest of the top 10 were Parker Frederickson, Mike Miller, Dallas Hewitt, Darin Gallagher and Cody White.

Keystone State Doubleheader Ahead
The only Pennsylvania visit of the 2021 racing season lies ahead this weekend with a Friday night show at the historic Lernerville Speedway in Sarver and a follow-up event Saturday on the Monster Half Mile at Pittsburgh's Pennsylvania Motor Speedway. The MPD Racing - Buckeye Outlaw Sprint Series has been a fixture at both tracks for many years now with a rich history of great racing and very good car counts.
The Ohio based tour first ran at Lernerville in 2013 when local driver Jack Sodeman Jr from North Jackson, Ohio won the main event. The Pittsburgh Motor Speedway first appeared on the schedule in the tour's first full season of 2012 with a pair of shows won by Grafton, West Virginia's Andre Layfield and Sodeman winning the fall event.
The closest battle in the championship standings finds just 63 points separating the top 7 at the halfway point of the season. Fremont, Ohio's Cody White leads 2014 champion Mike Miller by 30 points. Lee Underwood, Matt Westfall and Saban Bibent round out the front 5. Dustin Ingle sits in the 6th spot and Indiana driver Isaac Chapple has rapidly worked his way to 7th on the heels of a historic streak, reeling off 4 consecutive feature wins. The balance of the top 10 consists of Steve Little, Rob Caho and Blake Vermillion. The balance of the top 15 includes Jesse Vermillion, Parker Frederickson, Dallas Hewitt, Cody Gardner and Drew Rader.
Friday night at Lernerville, pit gates will open at 4 with stands at 5 pm. Racing is set to begin at 7:30. Adult general admission is $15 with students $10 and seniors admitted for $12. Pis passes will be $30. Mufflers are NOT required and we will be using the RED - AMB transponders which will be available at the track for rent.
Saturday at Pittsburgh, car owner Lou Gagliardi will have a cookout at 2 pm for teams and fans in the general admission parking lot. Pit gates will open at 4 with general admission gates at 5. Adult general admission is $20 with seniors just $19. Teens age 13-16 will be $10, kids 6-12 just $5 and 5 and under is free. Pit passes will be $40. Kids age 5 and under are just $15 in the pits. Again, mufflers are NOT necessary. Pittsburgh also requires the RED - AMB transponders which will be available at the track.
For competing teams, remember, tires must be all 4 corner Hoosier Race Tires and the right rear must be one of the following: Medium, H15, H20, W18 or Racesaver Spec Tire. You do NOT have to run the same tire all night. Methanol is available from the tracks both nights. Precise Racing will have a tire/parts truck present and the BOSS tour will have a selection of non wing specific tires as well. Cars will draw into heat races and then time trial DURING their hot laps against their heat. There are NO membership or entry fees.
Complete feature payout each night is as follows: 2000, 1000, 750, 650, 550, 500, 450, 425, 400, 375, 350, 340, 330, 320, 310, 300, 300, 300, 300, 300. Heat races will pay the top 4 finishers: 40, 30, 20, 10. There are also 7 bonus awards, five are $50 cash, one is a $50 gift certificate and the last is a free tire from Hoosier to the main event winner. Thank you to TCB Speed, TheCushion, Hoosier, All Pro Cylinder Heads, Accu-Force Shock Dyno, Apple Metal Polishing, Cowen Truck Line, All Star Performance, The Bridge at Sidney and Precise Racing for making all the heat and bonus cash possible.
The weekend hotel deal is at the Comfort Inn at 180 Gamma Drive in Pittsburgh. Please call 412-963-0600 to reserve a room. You may have to allow the phone to ring a while as the world is short staffed at this time. Remember to ask for the "BOSS Racer's Rate" of $90. You may have to remind them that the rooms are "blocked off" and reserved for BOSS racers. Rooms in the block are only held until midnight Thursday night, so please book early.
Can local Pennsylvania drivers defend the home turf? Will it be a traveling BOSS star showing the fast way around? Or will it be Isaac Chapple claiming an incredible 5th in a row? Maybe a 6th on Saturday? Join us this weekend to find out!
THE CATHEDRAL THAT IS ATOMIC SPEEDWAY BELONGS TO A CHAPPLE
Willow Branch, Indiana’s Isaac Chapple once again rewrites the MPD Racing BOSS Sprint record books winning his fourth feature event in a row with the series at Atomic Speedway. Isaac’s win streak appeared to be in great jeopardy after catching fire following his qualification effort. Chapple and crew went to work on the Tin Plate Fine Food & Spirits, No Drama Zone, S&M Construction #52 to get their night back on track and once again find themselves celebrating in victory lane.
24 MPD Racing 410 sprint cars made the tow to the world’s fastest 3/8th mile despite the potential threat of rain in the area. A tip of the hat to track promoter Brad McCown and crew who took a chance on racing with a less than favorable forecast and worked tirelessly to produce the best racing surface possible with the hand that mother nature had dealt them.
In ARP Fasteners Qualifying Matt Westfall would set quick time in group one at a time of 14.298. Sixteen-year-old Saban Bibent clocked in fastest in group two at 14.018. Future feature winner Isaac Chapple was quickest in group three in an overall quick time of 13.817. There was no shortage of excitement in TCB Speed Heat #1 where eighth starting Ricky Lewis would find himself in the second position by lap two and go on to comfortably score the heat win. Saban Bibent and Isaac Chapple would keep the trend of winning from deep in the field alive by winning The Cushion Heat #2 and Hoosier Tire Midwest Heat #3 from fourth.
MSD Ignition redraw placed three-time Atomic Speedway feature winner Matt Westfall on the pole with Justin Owen to his outside. The man to beat; Isaac Chapple would start inside second row. Ricky Lewis’s impressive heat race win would earn him a fourth place starting position. The third row was made up of the two young guns of Ryan Thomas and Saban Bibent.
When the green flag waved on the 25 lap A-main event Matt Westfall would lead lap one where he would quickly have company from Isaac who would take the lead from Westfall on lap 3, but the story was far from over for Chapple. In heavy lap traffic fourth starting Ricky Lewis would find the tail tank of Chapple and make his move for the lead on lap 17. Lewis’s lead however was short lived as the caution flag would fly shortly after. Placing Isaac in perfect position to regain the lead on the ensuing restart Ricky Lewis gave Isaac Chapple everything he had in the final 8 laps to regain the lead, but it would ultimately not be enough to bring Chapple’s win streak to an end.

BOSS 10th Anniversary at Atomic July 10
During one of the hottest summers on record, the MPD Racing - Buckeye Outlaw Sprint Series held its inaugural event on July 16, 2011 at K-C Raceway just south of Chillicothe, Ohio. Ione, California's Justin Grant was a newcomer to the Midwest and scored the win in the Travis Hery owned car number 40. Over the next 10 years, the tour has raced on every prominent track in the Buckeye state and held races on venues in six surrounding states. At the end of the 2011 season, K-C Raceway was taken back to its original name, Atomic Speedway.
This Saturday, July 10th, the BOSS tour returns to where it all began almost exactly a decade ago. Cody White of Fremont, Ohio is the points leader heading into the weekend over a fast-closing Lee Underwood. 2014 champion Mike Miller sits 3rd with 16 year old rookie driver Saban Bibent 4th and Dustin Ingle fifth. However, the big question is, can anyone stop Willow Branch, Indiana's Isaac Chapple? The Hoosier state invader has won the last 3 consecutive races in 3 different states. He has won at Richmond Raceway in Kentucky, Ohio Valley Speedway in West Virginia and most recently, the prestigious Jack Hewitt Classic at Waynesfield Raceway Park here in Ohio.
Through the years, Atomic has hosted some of the best racing action in tour history, including what may be the best finish since the invention of the round wheel. It was the 2015 event, easily found on Youtube under "BOSS Atomic 2015" when 3 cars held the lead of the race in the last HALF of the final lap itself. Landon Simon, Dallas Hewitt, and Todd Kane in a slider-fest for the ages with Hewitt flipping the Chip Pearson 69 across the finish line but local driver Todd Kane squeaking out the win in the Lew Christian number 8.
Pit gates will open at 3 pm on Saturday with general admission gates at 4. Pit passes are $35 with kids age 6-10 allowed in the pits for $20. Kids 5 and under are free in the pit area. General admission is $15 with seniors/veterans at $12. Kids 10 and under are free. Driver meeting is set for 5:15 with hot laps/qualifying at 6 and racing at 7. Raceceivers are mandatory and we will be using the yellow Westhold transponders. Tires must be all 4 Hoosier with right rear a choice of Medium, H15, H20, W18 or Racesaver Spec tire. You do NOT have to run the same right rear all night.
Atomic Speedway will have Hoosier Tires for sale along with methanol. The BOSS tour will have non wing specific tires available as well as TCB Speed. Mufflers are NOT required for this event. Payout: 2000, 1000, 750, 650, 550, 500, 450, 425, 400, 375, 350, 340, 330, 320, 310, 300, 300, 300, 300, 300. Also, heat races pay 40, 30, 20, 10 thanks to TCB Speed, TheCushion, and Hoosier Tires. Bonus awards, as always, provided by All Star Performance, Cowen Truck Line, Accu-Force Shock Dynos, All Pro Aluminum Heads, The Bridge Restaurant, Hoosier Tire Midwest, and Apple Metal Polishing. Also, for our 11th straight season, NO membership fees or entry fees.
Please make plans to join us this Saturday along with modifieds, sport mods and the USAC D2 Thunder midgets. Can Todd Kane pull off another popular upset? Will it be another local hero? Can a tour regular win it? Or will the cathedral that is Atomic Speedway belong to a Chapple? Tour history could be made and you don't want to miss it!
Willow Branch, Indiana’s Isaac Chapple made history Saturday
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Sunday, July 4, 2021
By Brian Liskai
WAYNESFIELD, Ohio – Willow Branch, Indiana’s Isaac Chapple made history Saturday. Chapple took the lead in the 12th Annual Jack Hewitt Classic with just six laps to go and drove to his third consecutive win with the MPD Racing Buckeye Outlaw Sprint Series, the first driver to accomplish that feat in the 11 year history of the series. And, Chapple scored the three straight wins in three different states.
“This is the biggest win of my career. It was a hard fought race. Just keeping up with the track…I had a lot of work to do,” said Chapple beside his Gray Auto/S&M Construction/Van Hoy Oil/No Drama Zone 20/PGG Enterprises backed machine
Steve Irwin and Matt Westfall brought the field to green for the 30 lap Hewitt Classic with Irwin grabbing the lead over Lee Underwood, Westfall and Korbyn Hayslett. Underwood drove into the lead on lap three and built a nearly four second lead in the non-stop event by lap 12. However, the car on the move was Chapple who took third on lap 12, driving into second on lap 14.
Heavy lapped traffic allowed Chapple to chop Underwood’s lead in half by the half-way point. Chapple drove into the lead on lap 24 and had a few close calls with lapped cars before taking the checkers over Underwood, Hayslett, Westfall and Irwin.
Waynesfield Raceway Park Promoter Shane Helms would like to thank the following sponsors of the Hewitt-Hampshire Classic: Kistler Engines, Tommy Tire, North Baltimore Custom Cut Meats, Marion Laborers Local 574, Buckeye Machine, Cook & Son Heating and Plumbing, Sugar Street Bar and Grill and Northwest Towing and Recovery.

BOSS Weekend Double Features First Ever & Hewitt Classic
One of the most exciting weekends of the year is upon us, as the MPD Racing Buckeye Outlaw Sprint Series is set to take on the legendary Ohio Valley Speedway just south of Parkersburg, West Virginia Friday night and the prestigious "Jack Hewitt Classic" at Waynesfield Raceway Park on Saturday. This will be the tour's first ever visit to Ohio Valley, but not the first time the tour will have visited the Mountaineer state! Saturday's show at Waynesfield will see an enhanced purse featuring a $4,000 to win payday with $400 guaranteed to start courtesy of sponsorship from Cook & Son Plumbing and Heating, Tommy Tire, Sugar Street Bar and Grill and Northwest Ohio Towing and Recovery.
Built in 1958, the 3/8 mile Ohio Valley Speedway was home to the Parkersburg area's open wheel racing for many years during the era where sprint cars and super modifieds co-mingled and were hard to differentiate. Supers dawned wings before sprint cars even had roll cages to mount them to, so the Valley became a winged sprint car hotbed for many years. Now, a new era dawns and the traditional sprint cars of BOSS are ready to meet the challenge of some of the best locals on their home turf!
One night later, the tour will roll into Waynesfield, Ohio for the annual "Jack Hewitt Classic", the highest paying event on the 2021 schedule. BOSS will join its companion tour, the Ti22 Performance FAST on Dirt winged 410 sprint cars, where both will pay $4,000 to win and $400 to start. In addition, there is a $2,000 bonus from promoter Shane Helms if the same driver can win both main events!
Fremont, Ohio's Cody White continues to hold the lead in the standings over Mike Miller, Rob Caho, Dustin Ingle and Lee Underwood. The 6th through 10th spots are held by Saban Bibent, Steve Little, Blake Vermillion, Parker Frederickson and Jesse Vermillion. Rounding out the top 15 are Dallas Hewitt, Matt Westfall, Isaac Chapple, Luke Hall and Korbyn Hayslett.
On Friday at Ohio Valley, gates will open at 4 pm with drivers meeting at 6:30. Adult general admission is $20 while pit passes are $35. Mufflers are NOT required. The standard BOSS payout for this event is: 2000, 1000, 750, 650, 550, 500, 450, 425, 400, 375, 350, 340, 330, 320, 310, 300, 300, 300, 300, 300. Heat races will pay 40, 30, 20, 10 courtesy of TCB Speed, TheCushion.com, and Hoosier Tire. Seven $50 bonus awards will be paid by Cowen Trucking, The Bridge Restaurant, Accu-Force Shock Dynos, Apple Metal Polishing, Hoosier Tire, All Star Performance, and All Pro Aluminum Cylinder Heads.
On Saturday at Waynesfield, pit gates will open at 3 with grandstands open at 4. Driver meeting will be at 5 pm with racing set to begin at 7. Adult general admission is $22 with seniors admitted for $20. Kids 11-15 are $10 while 10 and under is free. Pit passes are $35 for adults and just $25 for kids 10 and under. Mufflers are NOT required for this event either. The same heat race and bonus money is on the line at Waynesfield, but the feature payoff to honor Ohio's legend, Jack Hewitt, is as follows: 4000, 1800, 1200, 800, 700, 600, 550, 525, 500, 475, 450, 440, 430, 420, 410, 400, 400, 400, 400, 400.
For competing teams, raceceiver radios are required and we will be using the yellow Westhold transponders both nights. BOSS tire rule is all 4 corners must be Hoosier tires. The right rear MUST be one of the following: Medium, H15, H20, W18 or Racesaver Spec Tire. You do NOT have to run the same right rear all night. The BOSS tour will have Medium and H15's along with some left rears and fronts available at the track. There is no weight rule.
Chapple Gets First Career BOSS Win at Richmond
After competing in the first few events of the USAC Eastern Storm in Pennsylvania earlier in the week, Willow Branch, Indiana's Isaac Chapple made the long trek to Richmond, Kentucky pay off in a big way. Starting from the 6th position on a narrow Richmond Raceway, Chapple used a combination of patience and calculated risks to work his way to the lead and score the win.
In an area with almost NO sprint cars or sprint car racing, the MPD Racing BOSS series managed to pull in a strong field of 22 cars. The three heat race groups were led in ARP Fasteners qualifying by Saban Bibent with a 16.370, Blake Vermillion with a 16.414, and Lee Underwood with a 16.529. Bibent's time established the new official track record for traditional wingless sprint cars on the track known as "The Beast of the East".
Chapple would go on to win TCB Speed heat race #1. TheCushion.com heat race #2 was won by Ricky Lewis and Ryan Barr scored the win in Hoosier Tire Midwest heat #3. The MSD Ignitions redraw found Saban Bibent with the number one draw and Lee Underwood alongside on the front row. Blake Vermillion and Ricky Lewis would roll off from row 2 with Ryan Barr in the fifth starting spot. For Chapple, if the long drive from Pennsylvania, coupled with an engine change, wasn't enough, he drew the worst pill in the bucket, the dreaded 6.
Lee Underwood would grab the early lead of the 25 lap MPD Racing BOSS main event, but two early cautions would slow the action eliminating Barr and Blake Vermillion. Back under green, Underwood continued to show the way with Isaac Chapple and Ricky Lewis battling behind him. Working lap 7, rookie sprint car racer Tony Helton, hit the wall in turn 1, rode up the wall, and flipped out of the track. Helton walked away unscathed, but his 33B machine required an extensive effort to be retrieved.
Once back under green, the final 19 laps would run caution free. Chapple, Lewis and point leader Cody White waged all-out war for the remainder of the race, but Chapple emerged the best and wrestled the lead from Underwood and drove on to win. The Bluegrass racing fans were treated to some memorable slide jobs in the race for the rest of the podium spots as Undrwood would hang on for second over Lewis, White and a fine run by Collin Ambrose to round out the top 5. The rest of the top 10 included "hard charger" Dallas Hewitt who went from 16th to 6th, Kyle Simon, Mike Miller, Saban Bibent and Dustin Ingle.
The next BOSS adventure weekend will be Friday July 2nd in their first ever appearance at Ohio Valley Speedway in Lubeck, West Virginia followed by the next night's "Jack Hewitt Classic" at Waynesfield Raceway Park on Saturday, July 3rd. Also, watch for the Moler Raceway Park make-up date to be announced in the next few days.

BOSS Border Battles This Weekend at Moler and Richmond
The MPD Racing Buckeye Outlaw Sprint Series is ready for rounds 6 and 7 of the 2021 championship title fight. The touring drivers will make their 3rd all time appearance at Moler Raceway Park near Williamsburg, Ohio on Friday night and their 2nd ever appearance at Richmond Raceway in Kentucky on Saturday night.
The traditional BOSS non winged sprints first appeared at Moler in 2015 with a packed pit area of 34 cars, but mother nature preempted the show during the 3rd heat race. The tour returned in June of 2019 as Luke Hall scored the win in the Jon Nelson owned 9N. Hall and Nelson will be among the entries this weekend looking to back up that win.
The only previous BOSS show at Richmond Raceway was a thriller final lap in 2018 as Paul Dues and Matt Cooley traded the lead, banging wheels on the last lap. Neither car ran straight off turn 4 to the checkers, and Dues narrowly nipped Cooley at the line for his first career win over a 22 car field! The Minster, Ohio driver backed it up with his second career BOSS win in the most recent race at Waynesfield Raceway Park on May 30th. Rain soured the 2019 date and COVID-19 claimed the 2020 effort.
Fremont, Ohio's Cody White currently holds the lead in the championship standings over 2014 champion Mike Miller. Minnesota invader Rob Caho sits 3rd in the standings with Dustin Ingle and 2019 titlist Matt Westfall rounding out the top 5. Steve Little, Blake Vermillion, Saban Bibent, Parker Frederickson, Lee Underwood, Luke Hall, Paul Dues, Jesse Vermillion, defending champion Dallas Hewitt and Drew Rader round out the top 15, almost all of which are expected to compete this weekend.
Friday night, gates will open at 4:30 with BOSS engine heat prior to the drivers meeting which will be at 6:30. Hot laps will begin at 7 with racing at 8 pm. Pit passes will be $35. On Saturday at Richmond, pit gates will open early at 2 pm with general admission gates opening at 4. Hot laps will be at 6 pm with racing at 7. Pit passes will be $35 with kids pit passes (ages 6-12) just $15. Adult general admission is $20 with kids 12 and under free.
Both events will feature the new 2021 standard BOSS payout of $2,000 to win and $300 to start. Also, MUFFLERS ARE REQUIRED at both tracks this weekend. Any bolt on or welded on muffler or visible muffler insert is legal. Tires must be 4 corner Hoosiers with the right rear a choice of the H15, H20, Medium, W18 or Racesaver spec tire. You do NOT need to run the same right rear all night.
The official host hotel is the Ameristay just 11 miles from Moler on route 32. Double bed rooms are just $94 plus tax. It is important that parking is limited for trailers. Race rigs CAN use the Frisch's Restaurant lot next door, but please try to conserve space and move your race rig as soon as conveniently possible Saturday morning. To reserve a room, please call 513-735-4678 and ask for the BOSS Racing Series rate!
BOSS at Twin Cities This Saturday, June 12
Now in its eleventh season, the MPD Racing - Buckeye Outlaw Sprint Series has tried twice in the past to race at Twin Cities Raceway Park near North Vernon, Indiana. Both prior attempts fell victim to weather with the last attempt seeing 41 traditional BOSS sprint cars in the pit area when the rains came during engine heat. Track promoter, Tim Keithly, along with BOSS promoter, Aaron Fry, are hopeful that the third time will do the trick, this Saturday, June 12th.
Four Jennings County men built the quarter mile dirt oval in 1963. Kenny Woods was the first promoter and leader of the venture built on land owned by Patrick Fry. The other partners were Dupont High School coach Thomas Chilton and Cummins Engine Company employee Harry Jackson. Initially a stock car track, Twin Cities has hosted many sprint car events through the years running both winged and traditional non wing events.
The BOSS series looks to finally add to the long history of the track this Saturday with a $2,000 to win / $300 to start main event. Through five events this season, the traveling tour has averaged 34 cars per show with a high of 44 and a low of 27. There has yet to be a repeat winner as races have been won by Drew Rader, Thomas Meseraull, Brady Bacon, Justin Grant, and most recently Paul Dues. Current series point leader, Cody White of Fremont, Ohio, will lead the wingless warriors into battle in the Hoosier state. White leads a top 5 that also consists of 2014 tour champion Mike Miller, Minnesota invader Rob Caho, Dustin Ingle and 2019 tour champion Matt Westfall. The rest of the top 15 includes Steve Little, Blake Vermillion, Saban Bibent, Parker Frederickson, Lee Underwood, Luke Hall, Paul Dues, Jesse Vermillion, Dallas Hewitt and Drew Rader.
Gates will open at 3 pm Saturday with the driver meeting set for 5 pm and hot laps at 5:30. Adult general admission is $20 with kids 10 and under free. Pit passes are an ADDITIONAL $15, ($35 total). Mufflers are NOT required. Racecievers are mandatory and we will be using the yellow Westhold transponders. Cars must be on 4 corner Hoosier tires and the right rear must be one of the following: H15, H20, Medium, W18 or Racesaver spec tire. You do NOT need to run the same right rear all night.
The complete payout for the main event is as follows: 2000, 1000, 750, 650, 550, 500, 450, 425, 400, 375, 350, 340, 330, 320, 310, 300, 300, 300, 300, 300. Heat race payouts will pay the top 4: 40, 30, 20, 10 courtesy of TCB Speed, TheChushion.com, Hoosier Racing Tires and All Star Performance. As always, seven bonus awards will also be awarded by All Pro Cylinder Heads, Cowen truck Line, Apple Metal Polishing, The Bridge at Sidney, Accu-Force Dynos & Testers, Hoosier Tire Midwest and All Star Performance.
Also, upcoming events will see BOSS at Moler Raceway Park NEXT Friday June 18 in a doubleheader weekend with Richmond Raceway in Richmond, Kentucky Saturday, June 19. Watch for details forthcoming on the official host hotel of the weekend.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

By Brian Liskai
WAYNESFIELD, Ohio – Minster, Ohio’s Paul Dues held off a late race challenge from Matt Westfall and Korbyn Hayslett to score his first career Waynesfield win with the MPD Racing Buckeye Outlaw Sprint Series (BOSS) worth $2,500.
“It feels good to finally get a win here. I can’t thank my sponsors enough, Moeller Brew Barn, Car Quest…all my great sponsors and my crew and my beautiful wife, mom and dad…there’s so many people that help this thing go. I didn’t hear much behind me so that made me feel comfortable. I just worried about a tire going down. We didn’t have a new tire to put on so it wasn’t good to begin with. I didn’t want to see those cautions but I felt good in the car,” said Dues.
Dues and Mike Miller brought the field to green for the 25-lap BOSS feature with Dues committing to the bottom groove to grave the lead over Westfall, Miller and Kyle Simon. Dues hit his marks perfectly and maintained his slight lead while the battle for second heated up between Westfall and Miller with Hayslett joining in the action.
Miller would bring out the first caution on lap 13 as he and Westfall got together battling for second. On the restart Westfall stayed glued to Dues’ rear bumper but could not make the pass. Following another caution on lap 18. Dues again got a great restart and continued to lead Westfall, Hayslett, Simon and Steve Little.
With just two laps to go a five car incident put Westfall right on Dues’ bumper. Dues didn’t succumb to the pressure and continued to lead. As the field came to the white flag you could cover the top three with a blanket. Both Westfall and Hayslett made a last lap attempt at Dues who hung on for the win with Hayslett taking second at the line over Westfall.

Memorial Day Doubleheader On Tap for BOSS
In the motorsports world, Memorial Day weekend has held special significance for well over a century. THE most famous race at Indianapolis, was always dubbed the "Decoration Day" Classic. Race tracks and sanctioning bodies around the nation have some of their biggest and most prestigious events on this holiday weekend. For the MPD Racing Buckeye Outlaw Sprint Series, it will feature two nights of racing at the two key race tracks in the tour's history.
Saturday night, the traditional sprint car gladiators will wheel their modern day chariots before the coliseum known as Fremont Speedway. Located on the historic Sandusky County Fairgrounds, auto racing on the site dates back into at least the 1930's. The track became a staple of the BOSS tour in 2012 hosting the first event of the first full tour. Since then, Fremont has hosted two or more events every year.
On Sunday, the tour moves down to Waynesfield Raceway Park just outside Waynesfield, Ohio. Similar to Fremont, the tour and the track have a history dating back to 2012. Waynesfield was Ohio's home track for traditional wingless sprint cars and BOSS was the Ohio touring series, working together every season. Now, with a part time race schedule under promoter Shane Helms, the tour is proud to help keep the traditional sprints a staple at Waynesfield.
Both events this weekend feature the new standard BOSS purse paying $2,000 to win and $300 to start. As always, our fine heat race sponsors will pay heat race money to the top 4 finishers in each heat. We want to thank TCB Speed, TheCushion.com, Hoosier Race Tire and MPD Racing for that extra cash. Also, seven bonus awards are up for grabs both nights courtesy of Hoosier Tire, All Star Performance, Accu-Force Shock Dynos, All Pro Cylinder Heads, Apple Metal Polishing, Cowen Truck Line and The Bridge Restaurant in Sidney.
For Fremont on Saturday, gates will open at 4 with racing set to begin at 7. Adult general admission is $18, seniors at $15 and students are $10. Kids 10 and under are free. Pit passes are $30. On Sunday at Waynesfield, pit gates will open at 3 pm with general admission gates open at 4. General admission tickets are $20 with seniors 62+ just $15, kids 11-15 just $10 and kids under 10 are free. Pit passes will be $35. Waynesfield offers a great deal on youth pit passes when accompanied by an adult, for kids 10 and under it is just $20.
For competing teams, mufflers are not required this weekend at either track. We will be using the yellow Westhold transponders. Remember, tires must be 4 corner Hoosiers with the right rear a choice of Medium, H15, H20, W18 or the Racesaver Spec tire. You do NOT need to run the same tire all night.
This weekend's hotel deal is with the Howard Johnson in Lima, Ohio owned by race team owner Ron Gorby. The staff at Howard Johnson is great to racers offering a $75 hotel stay at one of THE nicest hotels we see on tour. Call 419-222-0004 to reserve a room and let them know you want the racer's discount and you are in town for the Waynesfield BOSS event.
Grant From 15th to Win BOSS Battle at the Burg
When the MPD Racing BOSS series began in July of 2011, it was Justin Grant who scored the main event win. Nearly 10 years later, the Ione, California native got to share victory lane with his son after an impressive drive from the 15th starting spot to overhaul race leader Brady Bacon for the win.
A great field of 39 cars were locked and loaded to battle the high-speed high banks of Lawrenceburg Speedway. Brady Bacon was overall quickest time in ARP Fasteners qualifying with a 14.001 second lap in group 3. Other fast timers were JJ Hughes, Nick Bilbee and Matt Westfall. Heat races were claimed by Thomas Meseraull, Bilbee, Bacon and Westfall. Scotty Weir and Cody White took B-Main wins.
It was Thomas Meseraull who led early on, before 7th starting Brady Bacon took command. After the previous night's win, Bacon looked to be on his way to a weekend BOSS sweep, but Grant, who started 15th, had other plans. A rough heat race found the Topp Motorsports 4 car snagging the 4th and final transfer spot. Some adjustments back in the pit area had the car on a rail in the main event as he cruised on to the win.
The race's only red flag was for tour regular Parker Frederickson who took a hard tumble in turn one but was okay. Tye Mihocko was also a flip victim in one of the B-Mains and took a nasty ride in turn 4, but climbed out under his own power.
Up next for BOSS in two weeks is the doubleheader weekend Saturday, May 29th at Fremont Speedway and Sunday, May 30th at Waynesfield Raceway Park. Don't forget, all of the racing action can be viewed LIVE on TheCushion.com and all races have replays available on demand.

Bacon From Ninth to First to Win Gas City Thriller
GAS CITY, Ind., May 15 – The answer to the question “Who’s the Boss?” was Brady Bacon Friday night at Gas City I-69 Speedway, as the MPD Racing -Buckeye Outlaw Sprint Series (BOSS) non-wing sprint cars staged a thriller at the quarter-mile dirt track.
After a violent start to the 25-lap main event with two separate flips by Ben Knight and defending track champion Max Adams, the top runners ran under a blanket numerous times in the beginning stages of the race, often three abreast. That was more than a little exciting, but when they caught the tail of the field it became a sprint car feature for the ages. They weaved their way by other competitors, sometimes getting boxed in, sometimes having to take evasive action, sometimes clearing other drivers’ cars by the smallest of margins, and in a couple of cases making slight contact. Despite the pressure they had to keep a clear head, their tempers in check, and be patient while simultaneously going as fast as possible as they pursued the $2,000 winner’s check. In the end that went to Bacon, a native of Broken Arrow, Okla., who now lives in Richmond, Ind.
Bacon started ninth in the 24-car field for the sprint car feature in the Wedgewood Motorsports Triple XXX/J&D Chevy, which is sponsored by Glenn Farms, Fatheadz Eyewear and Drive WFX.
Knight, of Mooresville, Ind., flipped high in Turn 4 on the initial start. Adams, a native of Loomis, Calif., now living in Marion, Ind., flipped in almost the same place after contact with Shane Cottle of Kansas, Ill., on the second attempt to get the race underway. Both Knight and Adams got out of their cars under their own power, but Adams was transported to a local hospital afterwards for further evaluation.
Justin Grant, a native of Ione, Calif., now living in Avon, Ind., out-dragged everyone into the first turn on both of those starts driving Paul Hazen’s famous No. 57. He did the same for the third attempt that stuck. Cottle edged ahead on lap three for an instant but Grant fought back and was still leading when Bacon passed Cottle for second on lap eight and then set his sights on Grant.
Bacon dipped under Grant on the frontstretch on lap nine for the lead and led the rest of the way. Cottle passed Grant for second on lap 14, right before Max Guilford, who calls Auckland, New Zealand home, spun low in Turn 4 to bring out a yellow with 15 laps down. That gave Cottle a clear shot at Bacon for the restart with 10 laps remaining.
Bacon was up to the challenge, and with a clear track ahead of him he was able to accrue a 2.016-second advantage over Cottle at the line. Grant finished third. Last week’s winner, Thomas Meseraull of Waveland, Ind., placed fourth and Matt Westfall of Pleasant Hill, Calif., rounded out the top five.
Bacon set the fastest lap of the race with a time of 12.932 seconds on lap eight while he was taking second place. Tyler Kendall of Connersville, Ind., was the hard charger, as he started 22nd but finished 11th.
In preliminary action Brayden Clark of Tipton, Ind., got upside down between Turns 1 and 2 at the start of the third sprint heat, but was unhurt. Luke Hall of Pleasant Hill, Ohio had a very violent flip and ended up outside Turn 2 with five laps complete in the first sprint B-main. Luckily he climbed out of his sprint car under his own power too.

Meseraull Mesmerizes I-96 BOSS Fans
The MPD Racing Buckeye Outlaw Sprint Series met the Great Lakes Traditional Sprints for "Sprint Wars" at I-96 Speedway last night. A near perfect split of the field set up a great rivalry, however, a true "outlaw" in the traditional sprint car world upstaged the party! With a pair of wins a night earlier at Gas City Speedway, San Jose, California native, Thomas Meseraull rolled into Michigan on a mission and would charge from 8th to the lead in just 5 laps to score the win in the Don Whitney owned #00.
Thirty-one cars signed in for the action on a very well prepared race track. Drew Rader, Saban Bibent, Cody White, and Meseraull, were quick timers in their respective heat race groups. Meseraull was overall top qualifier with a clocking of 16.005 seconds. The four heat races ran very smoothly with only 2 yellow flags among them. Heats were won by Mike Miller, Keith Sheffer, Lee Underwood and Dustin Ingle. Mike Astrauskas won the 12 lap MSD Ignitions B-Main.
As the night air got very cool, the traditional sprint car main event heated things up with a fantastic 4 wide salute to the race fans. 2014 BOSS champion, Mike Miller, paced the field to the green flag with opening event winner, Drew Rader, alongside. A beautiful start saw 22 of the bravest hustling their traditional steeds into the first turn. It took only 5 laps for 8th starting Meseraull to get to the front, leaving the other 21 starters to battle for runner-up honors.
Great racing was found throughout the pack as cars ran 2, 3 and sometimes 4 wide. The great racing was evident in the fact the top 4 finishers advanced 7, 10, 13 and 9 positions each! Following Meseraull at the finish were 12th starting Dustin Daggett, 16th starting Steve Irwin, and 13th starting Luke Hall. In all, 39 passes for position among the top 4 with zero help from attrition.
Rounding out the top 10 were Keith Sheffer Jr, Mike Miller, Drew Rader, Saban Bibent, Cody White, and Jesse Vermillion. Twenty-one of the 22 main event starters finished the event.
Next up for the MPD Racing BOSS tour is another doubleheader weekend May 14-15 at Gas City Speedway and Lawrenceburg Speedway in Indiana.

BOSS to Meet GLTS in I-96 Speedway "Sprint Wars"
The MPD Racing - Buckeye Outlaw Sprint Series will return to action this Friday and Saturday, May 7-8 near Lake Odessa, Michigan at the I-96 Speedway in a show catered to sprint car fans. "Sprint Wars" will feature two divisions of sprint car racing featuring FOUR different sanctioning bodies! The Ohio based BOSS tour will meet the Michigan based GLTS in the traditional sprint car $2,000 main event battle each night. In addition, the Michigan based GLSS will battles the national ASCS tour in the winged 360 sprint car division.
The BOSS tour kicked the season off on March 27th at Waynesfield Raceway Park when Drew Rader tracked down Dustin Ingle and passed for the win over a stellar 32 car field. Round 2 of the 2021 season was cancelled, and now, rounds 3 and 4 are set to take place north of the border. Following Rader and Ingle at Waynesfield were Rob Caho, Luke Hall, Landon Simon, Cody White, Matt Westfall, Paul Dues, Kyle Simon and Steve Irwin rounding out the top 10. Most of these drivers are expected at I-96 along with a host of other BOSS regulars and the GLTS stars who will be ready to defend their turf!

For competing teams, NO mufflers for this event. Tires must be 4 corner Hoosiers and the right rear must be the H15, H20 or Medium. You do NOT have to run the same tire all night. We will be using the yellow westhold transponders and raceceivers are mandatory. The new 2021 standard BOSS pay structure is in effect both nights which is as follows: 2000, 1000, 750, 650, 550, 500, 450, 425, 400, 375, 350, 340, 330, 320, 310, 300, 300, 300, 300, 300.

Just a Reminder:

Rader Raids BOSS to Claim the Let's Go 30
A beautiful spring day welcomed a large field of racers and a great turnout of fans to Waynesfield Raceway Park for the 2021 MPD racing BOSS season opener. A strong field of 32 traditional sprint car drivers from seven states signed in to pay tribute to Russell Cook, a longtime, proud supporter of sprint car racing and Waynesfield. On behalf of his daughter and son, $3,500 was added to the main event purse, making it a $3,000 to win / $375 to start payday!
An eventful hot lap / qualifying session was paced by Matt Goodnight with overall fastest qualifying time of 13.862 in group #2. Other group fast qualifiers were Cody White, Landon Simon and Cole Bodine. Cody White claimed the win in TCB Speed heat #1 while Dustin Ingle claimed The Cushion.com heat #2. Korbyn Hayslett won Hoosier Race Tire heat #3 and defending BOSS champion Dallas Hewitt claimed ARP Fasteners heat #4.
An exciting B-Main event saw Saban Bibent with a big lead and well on his way into the main event, when a mechanical issue bit the Cincinnati throttle pusher, sending him upside down and ending a fine run. Paul Dues, from nearby Minster, was able to win the 12 lap MSD Ignitions B-Main.
A beautiful field of 22 cars rolled out onto the Auglaize County bullring and race announcer, Gerry Keysor, was able to get a hearty "Let's GO!!" from the crowd. As always, the MPD BOSS tour drivers executed a perfect 4 wide salute to Russ Cook and all the race fans as the 22 warriors rode their trusty steeds off into the night for 30 laps of battle. Polesitter Korbyn Hayslett showed the way early and looked poised to pull of his first ever BOSS win. Dustin Ingle, Landon Simon and Drew Rader stayed within striking distance as the laps clicked away. Ingle was able to work his way to the runner-up spot and began to pressure for the lead. Ingle finally wrestled the lead away on lap 17 as a few laps later, Hayslett slowed to a stop with mechanical issues.
Back under green, Ingle looked like he was on his way to his first Waynesfield win, but 2 red flags would slow the action late. Toby Alfrey had a mechanical failure in the steering gear and pounded the turn 4 wall. Thankfully, he was okay. Ricky Peterson, driving the Stan Courtad 9x, got into the turn 4 wall, executed an end-over-end flip, landing on his wheels and continuing on his way, driving the car back to the pit area. A thunderous applause erupted from the crowd in approval of such a rare occurrence.
In the final laps, Rader was able to get by Ingle for the win. Rob Caho, from Rush City, Minnesota, had a great run to come home 3rd while Luke Hall and Landon Simon rounded out a very stout top 5. Cody White, Matt Westfall, Paul Dues, Kyle Simon, and Steve Irwin completed a tough top 10. Waynesfield promoter, Shane Helms and the BOSS staff would like to thank the teams, drivers and fans for their support and patience on a wild opening night!
The April 17th race, scheduled for Plymouth Speedway in Indiana, has been cancelled due to the resurfacing of the race track. The next scheduled event is May 7-8 doubleheader at I-96 Speedway in Michigan.

3/27 MPD Racing BOSS "Let's Go 30" $3K to win/$350 to start
The green flag is scheduled to fly on the 2021 MPD Racing - Buckeye Outlaw Sprint Series on Saturday, March 27th at Waynesfield Raceway Park! The night will be dedicated to the memory of Waynesfield / BOSS fan, Russell Cook, who passed away on August 5th of 2019. The many friends and race fans who knew Russ were familiar with his "LET'S GO" shouts from the grandstands. With the help of his daughter, Lynn Cook, a special purse has been established for the first ever "Let's Go 30".
The main event winner will take home $3,000 with additional money added throughout the entire field, making it $350 to start and $150 tow money for B-Main non transfers. Overall, $2,500 has been added to the already increased 2021 BOSS payout. Many racers have been fortunate to get some help from Lynn Cook, known as "A Racer's Friend" who was, at one time, the sponsor of the BOSS "Hard Luck Award". Now, in memory of her father, every driver in the BOSS program will see extra cash.
Waynesfield Raceway Park's owner, Greg Shobe, promoter, Shane Helms and BOSS promoter, Aaron Fry, are all committed to running a timely and efficient program. However, as the BOSS main event is pushed out for the scattered start, race fans will be encouraged to start Mr. Cook's chant, "LET'S GO!!!"
In keeping with tradition, the MPD Racing BOSS tour will again pay heat race cash courtesy of TCB Speed, Hawk Brakes, MSD Ignitions, ARP Fasteners, and Comp Cams. Seven bonus awards will be paid out nightly by The Bridge Restaurant of Sidney, Apple Metal Polishing, Cowen Truck Line, All Pro Cylinder Heads, Hoosier Tire Midwest, All Star Performance, and Accu-Force Dynos & Testers.
The complete BOSS main event purse for this event will be: 3000, 1200, 800, 700, 600, 550, 475, 450, 425, 400, 380, 360, 350, 350, 350, 350, 350, 350, 350, 350.

Joining the MPD Racing BOSS tour will be the Ti22 Performance FAST on Dirt winged 410 sprint cars. Watch for details on other classes, gate times, admissions, and more as race day approaches.
2021 MPD Racing / BOSS Finalized Schedule
The new race season is just 2 months away from opening night at Waynesfield Raceway Park on March 27th. The officials from the MPD Racing BOSS series have been busy preparing for the 2021 tour and some small changes have taken place in scheduling.
The pair of events at Skyline Speedway on April 10 and July 17 have been removed from the schedule after contract issues arose between the property owner and the prospective track promoter. The Saturday, May 1st event, originally scheduled for Fremont Speedway, has also been removed from the schedule, however, there are 3 other events at Fremont still on as originally scheduled.
Other changes will see the Saturday, June 5th date at Twin Cities Raceway Park backed up one week to Saturday, June 12th. Finally, the TBA date for Saturday, August 28th has been filled with an event at Twin Cities Raceway Park.
The new standard purse for BOSS events will pay the following: 2000, 1000, 750, 650, 550, 500, 450, 425, 400, 375, 350, 340, 330, 320, 310, 300, 300, 300, 300, 300. We are working to renew our heat race and bonus award sponsorships for the new year. Teams will still earn heat race cash for the top 4 paying 40, 30, 20, 10. Several bonus awards will pay $50 cash along with some product awards. As always, there are no membership fees or entry fees.
With help from MPD Racing, All Star Performance and Hoosier Racing Tire Midwest, the BOSS tour champion will take home $5,000 of a $22,500 point fund that will spread across the top 15 in the final standings. Drivers must compete in 75% of completed events to be eligible for the fund. As is tradition, there will be one "drop" for teams to throw out their worst night.
The "tow bonus" is still in effect for full time teams and will now guarantee a minimum $350 to start or $150 if you miss the main event. The first 3 events will go off 2020 final point standings (top 9 eligible) but after event number 3, it will go off of current 2021 points and will include the top 15 in points.
The new tire rule is now in effect and is a 4 corner Hoosier rule. The fronts and left rears are open to any Hoosier, however, the right rear now must be the H15, H20, Medium, W18 or Racesaver Spec Tire. You do NOT have to run the same right rear all night.

2021 BOSS Schedule Sees 27 Events
The MPD Racing Buckeye Outlaw Sprint Series is set to begin its second decade of sprint car racing in 2021 with a record number of events on the schedule. Twenty-seven nights of racing will see 14 events in the home state of Ohio. As a true "touring" series, every bordering state will see at least one event. Indiana and Michigan will each host 4 nights of action, with Pennsylvania having one popular doubleheader weekend and one event each in Kentucky and West Virginia. One race date is still being negotiated.
Most importantly, the standard BOSS minimum purse has grown across all 20 spots! After seven straight years with the same winners pay, the tour now goes to $2,000 to win and $300 to start every show. The tow bonus will still be in effect for tour regulars, making it $350 to start for full time teams. The top 10 in 2020 final points will begin on the tow bonus and after event #3 it will go off of current 2021 points.
With the help of MPD Racing, All Star Performance and Hoosier Racing Tires, not only is the standard purse raised, but the 2021 championship payout will also be at a new high, with $5,000 to win the title. The top 15 in final points is eligible for a $22,000 point fund, providing they compete in 75% or more of the completed events.
Watch for more information to be released over the next few months, including our very important heat race and bonus award sponsors. Heat races will still pay cash to the top 4 finishers (40, 30, 20, 10) and seven bonus awards will be $50 cash or certificate.

Drevicki & Nicholson Win Battles ; Hewitt Wins The War
Reading, Pennsylvania's Steven Drevicki won his first 410 non wing event ever on Friday night. Anthony Nicholson from Millington, Tennessee claimed the Saturday 40 lap win. But it was Troy, Ohio's Dallas Hewitt who claimed the 2020 MPD Racing / Buckeye Outlaw Sprint Series championship at Mountain View Raceway in Spring City, Tennessee.
The BOSS tour teamed up with the Southern States Sprint Car Series to bring an all star field of drivers from across 10 states. The highly banked 1/5 mile red clay oval was a special challenge for the 33 cars signed in on Friday and 32 competing on Saturday.
Friday's overall fastest qualifier was Lee Underwood pacing group #3 with a 12.184 lap. Dallas Hewitt, Matt Westfall and Steven Drevicki were also quickest in their respective groups. Heat race wins belonged to Carson Short, Ricky Lewis, Underwood and Drevicki. Wesley Smith won the 12 lap B-Main.
In the main event, Drevicki started from the pole and led all 30 laps. Fourth starting Dallas Hewitt worked his way to the runner-up spot and challenged Drevicki through most of the closing laps, but raced clean to finish second and secure the 2020 BOSS title. Outside front row starter, Isaac Chapple, finished third with Ricky Lewis fourth. The race's hard charger was Mario Clouser who started 15th and finished 5th. The rest of the top ten were Chase Jones, Jadon Rogers, Matt Westfall, Jesse Vermillion and Lee Underwood.
On Saturday, Matt Westfall was overall fastest qualifier at 11.464 on a much better prepared race track. Thomas Meseraull, Kyle Simon and Luke Hall also paced their groups respectively. Heat race wins belonged to Isaac Chapple, Anthony Nicholson, Steve Irwin and Steven Drevicki. Michael Fischesser led all 12 laps too win the MSD Ignitions B-Main.
The 40 lap MPD Racing BOSS main event was, again, led flag to flag, this time by Anthony Nicholson despite heavy pressure from 4th starting Isaac Chapple. Behind the top 2 were Wesley Smith, Kyle Simon and Chase Jones completing the top 5. The balance of the top 10 were Dallas Hewitt, Drevicki, Underwood, Clouser and Short.
The final BOSS standings after an abbreviated 8 race season finds Dallas Hewitt and car owner Todd Keen as the 2020 champions and will take home $3,750 in cash plus contingencies. Behind Hewitt was Matt Westfall, Isaac Chapple, Luke Hall, Steve Irwin, Lee Underwood, Dustin Ingle, Steve Little and Buddy Lowther.
We'd like to thank all the race teams, tracks, fans and sponsors who supported BOSS in this unconventional season. Thanks to MPD Racing and Hoosier Tire, we were able to put together a $12,000 point fund for just 8 events. We look to grow bigger and stronger in 2021 as scheduling has already begun with several new tracks inquiring about dates. Stay tuned for information concerning a small banquet to honor our drivers and the completion of our 10th season.

Westfall Claims First Ever BOSS Event in Michigan
Pleasant Hill, Ohio veteran, Matt Westfall, aboard the Ray Marshall Motorsports 33M, went down in history as the first ever main event winner north of the Ohio border on Friday night. A perfect fall day and evening set the stage for a great crowd and a field of 29 cars signed in for action at the I-96 Speedway just north of Lake Odessa, Michigan.
Fenton, Michigan tour regular, Steve Irwin, set overall quick time during group 1 of Comp Cams qualifying with a 16.276 lap. Westfall paced group 2 with a 16.311 and Lee Underwood topped group 3 at 16.449. Tyler Gunn, Luke Hall and Dustin Daggett won heat races with Keith Sheffer taking the B-Main.
Irwin and Hall brought the field to the green flag with Westfall and Gunn starting from row 2. Hall, aboard the Jon Nelson owned 9N led early, with Irwin and Westfall in tow. A trio of yellow flags slowed the action for spins by Joe Hummel, Buddy Lowther and Lee Underwood. The race was also slowed by one red flag for an emergency in the spectator area that was not racing related.
As the race wore on, a heavy cushion had developed and working lap 19, Hall buried the right rear deep into and over it, allowing Westfall to close up and slide past him down the front stretch. Two laps later, Westfall did the same thing, but recovered quick enough to hold Hall behind him. Westfall raced on to post a win by a mere 1.089 seconds over Hall. Tyler Gunn, the current FAST on Dirt winged points leader, ran another fine race to come home third. Isaac Chapple found the bottom to his delight and charged from 9th to finish 4th while point leader Dallas Hewitt ran 5th. Rounding out the top 10 were Irwin, Sheffer, Brian Ruhlman, Dustin Daggett, and Cody White.

Dustin Ingle Scores First BOSS Main Event Win
By Brian Liskai
FREMONT, Ohio –
Lima, Ohio’s Dustin Ingle lost the lead on a restart with seven laps to go in the Buckeye Outlaw Sprint Series feature. But he didn’t lose his cool, stayed focused on his high side line and drove back into the lead with four laps to go and went on to claim his first ever sprint car win.
“I kept telling myself don’t give up on the top…keep beating it down. I made a couple of mistakes there with a couple to go and tried to be smooth and close it out. This is the first win in my career in a sprint car,” said an elated Dustin Ingle beside his Gross & Sons Custom Millwork, Gils Trucking, Smugglers Cove Campground backed 2DI.
Ingle and Isaac Chapple brought the field to green for the 25-lap BOSS feature with Ingle gaining the slight advantage over Chappel, Cody White, Trey Jacobs, Luke Hall, Ricky Peterson and Dallas Hewitt. Ingle and Chapple raced side by side the opening three laps with Jacobs, making his first non-wing sprint car start, riding comfortably in third.
Ingle built up a nearly three second lead when the caution flew with seven laps to go. On the ensuing restart Chappel drove under Ingle to take the lead with Hall, Hewitt and Peterson racing each other hard for third. Ingle stayed committed to the high groove and drove back into the lead on lap 21 with Chappel now having to deal with Hall, Hewitt and Peterson.
Ingle hit his marks perfectly the closing laps and took the win over Hewitt who had won the previous two appearances of BOSS at Fremont, Hall, Chappel and Jacobs rounding out the top five.

Southern Outlaw Promotions' owner, Wayne Davis, reached out with the offer to co-sanction with his Southern Sprint Series. With a short 2020 schedule amid a pandemic, these unprecedented times call for unprecedented measures.

Westfall Repeats in BOSS at Kokomo Smackdown
Ludlow Falls, Ohio driver Matt Westfall scored a repeat win in the MPD Racing BOSS portion of the Kokomo Smackdown on Saturday night. He set the tone for the evening when he piloted the Ray Marshall Motorsports 33M to fastest overall qualifying time at 13.301 in group 2. He would charge from the 6th starting spot to 2nd in the first 3 laps and would take the lead on lap 5 and lead the remaining 20 laps unchallenged.
Thirty-nine cars registered for the BOSS portion of the show and cars drew into 4 heat races. Dustin Clark paced Comp Cams Qualifying group #1 with a 13.583. Westfall led group 2 with the 13.301. Noah Gass was fastest in group 3 at 13.437 and finally, Lee Underwood would best group 4 at 13.881.
Heat races were won by Matt Goodnight, Cole Bodine, Dallas Hewitt and Dustin Ingle. The 4 heat races were run with only one caution flag when Steve Hair made hard contact with the wall in the fourth heat race. A pair of 10 lap B-Mains were also run. Dustin Clark scored the win in the first B over Kyle Shipley and Dustin Smith. The second B-Main was won by Isaac Chapple over Korbyn Hayslett and Cody Gardner.
Dustin Ingle drew the pole position for the 25 lap A-Main with Lee Underwood alongside. Cole Bodine and Noah Gass would start from row 2. Matt Goodnight and Westfall would go from the third row. Ingle would grab the early race lead but Westfall was on the move in a BIG hurry. The first of 5 cautions would fly on lap 2 for Tyler Gunn who spun. Ingle led the restart with Westfall already up to second. Just 3 laps later, he would take over the lead and never be seriously challenged.
In the pack, the movers and shakers of the night were Kyle Simon (from 13th) and Korbyn Hayslett (from 20th) who both charged through the field looking to take the "Hard Charger" honors. At the halfway mark, it was Westfall, Gass, Bodine, Underwood and Ingle as the top 5. Noah Gass' evening turned south on a lap 15 incident involving Brandon Long , ending his night.
A lap 23 caution for Sterling Cling and Isaac Chapple set up a green, white, checkered finish, after repairs were made to the Kokomo Speedway catch fence from Cling's car finding some airtime, but staying upright. Westfall cruised home the winner with Cole Bodine runner-up and a late charging Kyle Simon in 3rd. Dallas Hewitt holds onto the series point lead with his 4th place finish and Lee Underwood rounded out the top 5. Luke Hall finished 6th while Korbyn Hayslett took the "Hard Charger" award advancing 13 spots to finish 7th. Rounding out the top 10 were Ingle, Clark, and Cody White.
The next race for the MPD Racing BOSS tour will be on Saturday, September 12th at Oakshade Raceway near Wauseon, Ohio. A year ago, BOSS brought sprint cars BACK to Oakshade after a near 20 year absence, to an enthusiastic standing-room-only crowd and a great field of 28 sprint cars.

COVID-19 Forces Schedule Changes
The MPD Racing BOSS tour was contacted Sunday by officials from Oakshade Raceway asking to postpone their event scheduled for Saturday, August 15th and moving it to Saturday, September 12th. The track is working with the Fulton County health department to maintain a safe atmosphere for race fans. Based on last season's attendance for this race, we felt it was best to back this race up a month to allow more time for safety protocol to be put into place to accommodate the anticipated crowd size.
Additionally, Waynesfield Raceway Park's event for Saturday, August 22nd has been cancelled. Auglaize County health department officials have remained firm that they will not allow spectators in the grandstand.
The next race weekend for BOSS will be Friday, August 28th at I-96 Speedway in Michigan and Saturday, August 29th for the final night of the Kokomo Smackdown at Kokomo Speedway in Indiana.
An agreement has been reached with an Ohio track to fill the Saturday, September 26th date. Watch for details on that in the coming days.
Here is the remaining BOSS schedule:
Friday, August 28 - I-96 Speedway ; Lake Odessa, MI
Saturday, August 29 - Kokomo Speedway ; Kokomo, IN
Saturday, September 12 - Oakshade Raceway ; Wauseon, OH
Saturday, September 26 - To Be Announced ; ???????, OH

Hewitt Goes Back to Back at Fremont BOSS
Fletcher, Ohio’s Dallas Hewitt fought off several challenges from Matt Westfall to claim his second Fremont Speedway Buckeye Outlaw Sprint Series win of the season.
“I heard engine noise but I didn’t know where to go. Under that last yellow I looked at the board and saw Matt was there. A couple of years ago it was me and him on the last lap and I was like here we go again, don’t mess up. I really don’t like to run the bottom but I made it work some how,” said Hewitt beside his Keen’s Auto Body Sales, Carts & Parts, Loan Star Pawn Shop backed machine.
In the 25 lap BOSS feature Luke Hall grabbed the early lead over Dustin Ingle, Hewitt, Westfall and Tyler Gunn. Gunn charged from eighth to third in just two laps. Hewitt drove into the lead on lap three and had to survive caution with just five laps to go as Westfall put a ton of pressure on him for the win. Hewitt held off Westfall while 16th starter Isaac Chapple stormed to a third place finish with Gunn and Dustin Smith rounding out the top five.
Qualifying groups were paced by Luke Hall, Dustin Smith and Dustin Ingle. Heat races were won by Dallas Hewitt, Lee Underwood and Matt Westfall.
The next MPD Racing BOSS event will be this Saturday, August 15th at Oakshade Raceway near Wauseon, Ohio. One year ago, BOSS brought sprint cars BACK to Oakshade after a near 20 year absence! Hewitt, now 2 for 2 at Fremont, also scored the win one year ago at Oakshade.

Hewitt Hustles to First Fremont Win
The MPD Racing / Buckeye Outlaw Sprint Series featuring non-wing machines, didn’t disappoint in their first appearance of the year at Fremont Speedway. The 25-lap feature went non-stop and when the dust settled Troy, Ohio’s Dallas Hewitt took his first Fremont victory. It wasn’t easy as he took the lead from Tyler Gunn on lap 15 and then held off many challenges from Gunn racing through lapped traffic the final five circuits.
“About 10 to go I was looking for the five to go…it couldn’t come soon enough. The last five laps felt like 15. This is my kind of track. I like them when they get slick to a cushion like this. With the lapped cars you never know where everyone is racing for position and it’s tight here…it was definitely had me a little nervous here getting into the lapped cars. To finally get a win at this track is special,” said Hewitt beside his Keen’s Auto Body & Sales, Cars & Parts, Loan Star Pawn Shop backed #18.
In the 25 lap BOSS feature Dustin Smith grabbed the early lead over Isaac Chapple, Tyler Gunn, Hewitt and Lee Underwood. Gunn took second a lap later and stayed within a car length of Smith. Gunn made his move to take the lead on lap 12, bringing Hewitt into second with Smith falling to third.
Gunn’s run at the point lasted only three laps as Hewitt took command on lap 15 over Gunn and Ricky Peterson. Hewitt held a three car length advantage while Gunn and Peterson battle for the runner-up spot.
Hewitt charged into heavy lapped traffic with just four laps to go and Gunn closed quickly. The pair raced side by side for a couple of laps with Hewitt getting through traffic and taking the win over Gunn, Peterson, Matt Westfall and Smith.

BOSS Back in Action at Fremont July 18
The MPD Racing / Buckeye Outlaw Sprint Series is set to return to action this Saturday, July 18th as part of the Operational Support Services "Throwback Night" presented by Fort Ball Pizza Palace. In addition to the BOSS non wing sprint cars, the AFCS winged 410 and 305's will be on the card along with the always exciting dirt trucks.
This will be the second event for the unpredictable 2020 season. The opener was held at Atomic Speedway on July 4th when 26 cars signed in and Rawson, Ohio's Ricky Peterson pulled off his first ever tour win aboard the SC Racing 9x of veteran car owner Stan Courtad. Dallas Hewitt, Matt Westfall, Lee Underwood and Scotty Weir completed the top 5.
The Fremont Speedway event will pay the standard BOSS purse of $1,500 to win and $250 to start. The complete MPD Racing A-Main payout is as follows: 1500, 900, 700, 600, 500, 450, 400, 375, 350, 325, 300, 290, 280, 270, 260, 250, 250, 250, 250, 250. Heat races will pay 40, 30, 20, 10 courtesy of TCB Speed, Hawk Brakes, Hoosier Tire and MSD Ignitions. Five $50 cash bonus awards will be given by The Bridge Restaurant of Sidney, Apple Metal Polishing, All Pro Aluminum Cylinder Heads, Cowen Truck Line and Accu Force Dynos and Testers. All Star Performance will give a $50 gift certificate for the "sweet move" of the race award and Hoosier Tire will supply a free right rear tire to the main event winner.
For teams competing, there are no entry fees or membership fees. Transponders will be the yellow Westhold and will be available to rent from the track. Mufflers are NOT required on the BOSS cars at Fremont. Pit gates will open at 4 pm with racing at 7 pm. Adult general admission is $18 with seniors $15 and students just $10. Kids 10 and under are free. All pit passes will be $30.
For the balance of the 2020 season, we have elected to use as a burn off period for the open Hoosier tires. So any current commercially available Hoosier tire is legal, but cars must have Hoosiers on all 4 corners (same as last year). The 2021 season will begin the new tire rule.
Peterson Claims First MPD Racing BOSS Victory at Atomic Speedway
Rawson, Ohio driver Ricky Peterson, aboard the SC Racing 9x of Stan Courtad, raced from his third starting spot to score his first ever MPD Racing - BOSS feature win last night at Atomic Speedway. A total of 26 cars signed in for competition representing six states and New Zealand. Due to technical difficulties, the transponder scoring system was down, scrapping qualifying. Heat races had to be lined up according to the pill draw.
Luke Hall won the first heat race with Lee Underwood running second to secure the redraw spots. Heat race #2 was claimed by Peterson from his 4th starting spot over Pennsylvania stalwart Carmen Perigo. The third and final heat race was won by 7th starting Dallas Hewitt over Lance Webb. The eleven car B-Main event was won by non wing rookie Brandon Conkel over Cody Gardner, Kory Crabtree, Isaac Chapple and Dustin Ingle, who all transferred.
The redraw for the main event put Luke Hall and Lee Underwood on the front row with Peterson and Lance Webb in row 2. Following a perfect 4 wide salute to the fans, the 20 car A-Main field roared to the green flag. The pair of nine cars put on a great battle for the lead that saw 2 major incidents. B-Main winner Brandon Conkel was having a great run but took a nasty ride in turn 3, flipping multiple times. He climbed from the car but WAS transported to a local hospital for treatment of a concussion. Later in the event, Auckland, New Zealand driver Max Guilford got into, and on top of, the turn 4 concrete wall, riding atop it for a few hundred feet before falling back to the track. He also climbed from the car unhurt.
Peterson raced on to the main event win over Dallas Hewitt, Matt Westfall (from 14th), Lee Underwood and Scotty Weir rounding out the top 5. The rest of the top 10 was Lance Webb, Steve Irwin, Isaac Chapple, Carmen Perigo and Korbyn Hayslett. Luke Hall, who led early and raced for the win throughout the event, had a deflating tire on the final lap that relegated him to a 12th place finish.
The next BOSS event scheduled for Pittsburgh Motor Speedway on July 18 has been canceled due to Allegheny County, Pennsylvania closing sports venues over COVID-19. An Ohio race track has asked for the date, so watch for an announcement later this week!

BOSS Set to Begin 2020 Season at Atomic Speedway
The MPD Racing - Buckeye Outlaw Sprint Series is ready to kick off its 10th season of racing this Saturday, July 4th at Atomic Speedway just south of Chillicothe, Ohio. The main event will pay $2,000 to win and $300 to start. Formerly known as K-C Raceway, Atomic Speedway is the site where it all began for BOSS back in July of 2011. Ione, California's Justin Grant scored the win in that very first show!
Defending tour champion Matt Westfall will be back in the Ray Marshall 33M, looking to back up his win at Atomic a year ago. Tour regulars like Cody Gardner, Dustin Ingle, Korbyn Hayslett, Dallas Hewitt, Mike Miller, Buddy Lowther, Dustin Webber and Steve Little will be challenged by new tour drivers Isaac Chapple and Luke Hall. Atomic Speedway will have some local drivers pulling the wings off, like Todd Kane and Bryan Nuckles and then there are the wild cards like Michael Fischesser, a former BOSS regular who has been so close to Atomic wins on multiple occasions.
The right rear Hoosier tire rule that was set to go into effect beginning with race #6 in 2020 has been postponed and will begin with the 2021 season opener. For the remainder of 2020, ANY commercially available Hoosier tire on the market is legal. So the tire rule for 2020 remains the same as it was in 2019. Starting in 2021, the right rear must be the Hoosier Medium OR the H15.
The 2020 points fund will be prorated based on the number of events run. $1,500 per race completed will go into the championship fund and will be split among the top 10 in final points. The champion will take home a little over 30% of that total fund. Drivers must attend 75% or more of the completed races to be eligible for the payout.
For this Saturday, the main event payout will be as follows: 2000, 1000, 700, 600, 500, 450, 400, 375, 350, 325, 300 on back to start. There is also $100 guaranteed to any car who fails to make or start the main event. Heat races will pay the top four in the amounts of 40, 30, 20, 10. There will also be six bonus awards listed below. The main event winner is guaranteed a free tire from Hoosier Tire Midwest. Points teams will also be given a tire through the course of the season.
As always, there is no membership fee or entry fee with BOSS. It is open to any sprint car team. No mufflers are required. Raceceivers and Westhold (yellow) transponder are required. Transponders can be rented for $10. Pit gates will open at 3 pm with general admission gates open at 4. Qualifying/Hot laps will be at 6 with racing at 7 pm. Fireworks will follow the program!

BOSS Loses 3 of 4 Events in June
The ongoing COVID19 crisis continues to wreak havoc on the MPD Racing BOSS sprint car tour. Of the four events scheduled for the month of May, three have been cancelled and/or postponed. The I-96 Speedway event on Friday, June 12th has been moved to Friday, August 28th to make a 2 day weekend with the Kokomo Smackdown. In addition, the doubleheader weekend on June 19-20 at Moler Raceway Park and Richmond Raceway has also been cancelled. We are looking to schedule make-up events with both tracks.
The race scheduled for Saturday, June 13th at Fremont Speedway is still on as of now. The Governor of Ohio is supposed to address race tracks specifically this week. Watch for a new revised 2020 schedule to be released toward the end of June as we work hard to salvage what's been a rough year. Please everyone stay safe and we hope to see you at the track soon.
BOSS 2020 Update
With the nation still fighting the coronavirus, the events scheduled for Saturday, April 25th at Atomic Speedway and for Friday, May 1st at Moler Raceway Park have both been officially cancelled. Events for the balance of the month of May are still tentative. We are already in talks with race tracks about rescheduling events on our open fall weekends.
We strongly encourage everyone to continue to follow our state and federal guidelines and their recommendations to help fight this enemy. This is not the first time auto racing has been halted in the United States. In 1942, a federal ban on motorsports was implemented that lasted until 1945 while we fought World War II. A great generation of Americans came out of that stronger and motorsports flourished. Let us all be patient and honor them by coming out of this stronger on the other side and make motorsports flourish again.
2020 Race Season on HOLD
The 2020 race season was set to kick off this weekend with the "Let's Go 30" in memory of Russell Cook for the MPD Racing Buckeye Outlaw Sprint Series. The entire country is effectively shut down in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. Waynesfield Raceway Park and tour officials have been forced to cancel the doubleheader opener that included the FAST on Dirt winged 410 sprint cars as well. Track promoter, Shane Helms, has indicated an interest in adding a make-up date to the schedule in the fall to help recover this event.
The second BOSS tour event of 2020 is scheduled for Saturday, April 25th at Atomic Speedway just south of Chillicothe, Ohio. This event is still tentatively on as scheduled. Naturally, this event is subject to the status of the state of Ohio and the country overall. Watch for details as the weeks progress. Track promoter, Brad McCown, and the BOSS tour are ready to go, if the Governor of Ohio opens things up for racing by then.
We encourage everyone to stay as safe as possible. Follow CDC, WHO, and your state guidelines to help stop the spread of the virus. We hope to see everyone at a race track soon.
BOSS Welcomes MPD Racing as 2020 Title Sponsor

Sunday, Oct. 13, 2019
By Brian Liskai
WAYNESFIELD, Ohio - Leduc, Alberta, Canada's Skylar Gee had never competed at Waynesfield Raceway Park. But, he made his first appearance a good one, taking the lead on lap 34 and driving away to earn the $5,630 pay day for the 2nd Annual Bob Hampshire Classic.
The event, honoring the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame sprint car owner and mechanic, was the final race of 2019 for the FAST 410 Sprint Series. Cole Duncan, with his win the week prior, earned the series' championship.
The one-third mile high banked track lived up to its reputation as the 50-lap FAST feature saw several lead changes. Cap Henry led the first eight circuits with NASCAR Xfinity Star Christopher Bell taking over to lead laps 9-16 only to have Henry regain the top spot for a lap with Bell using heavy lapped traffic to move back into the lead on lap 18. Bell seemed to have the race in control when he spun in turn four while maneuvering through lapped traffic, falling back to 11th and handing the lead back to Henry. Gee, who had hung around the top five throughout the race, hunted down Henry and drove around him on lap 34. A caution with eight laps to go gave Henry one final shot, but Gee hit his marks perfectly and drove to the win.
"I struggled pretty hard the first half of the race. I started watching Christopher and then I seen DJ (Foos) poking his nose in there and it started to rubber up there a little and I started creeping and creeping and pretty soon we were pretty good and I could start cheating the wing forward. I got going pretty good in one and two and I had a good race with Cap....he raced me hard and clean. It was a lot of fun. I've never won a 50 lap race before so that's pretty cool. Hats off to Rob and Gary for working their asses off all night and all the fans for sticking out this cold," said Gee beside his Bluvos/Carlan Services/Pat Beck Motorsports/Strongs Crane Sales and Repair backed machine.
For Henry, the close of the 2019 season was bittersweet. "I thought we had a pretty good chance starting on the pole. It laid rubber and I was sure where to go. I think our worst finish here is third of fourth so I'm happy. This is a really cool place and it was a fun race," said Henry beside his Beer Barrel Bourbon sponsored #4.
Fremont, Ohio's DJ Foos, the 2019 Attica Fremont Championship Series titlist, also hung around the top five throughout the 50 lap feature and brought his Burmeister Racing machine home in third.
"I love coming to this place. I can't say enough about Shane Helms (promoter) and his gang. It's pretty bad ass to be racing here in October," said Foos of his Jet Express/CR Juices/Greer Automotive/Kistler Racing Products backed #16.
Milford, Ohio's Cody Gardner scored his first ever sprint car win at Waynesfield during the 11th Annual Jack Hewitt Classic early in July. Gardner proved that was no fluke, leading all 25 laps of the Buckeye Outlaw Sprint Series feature for his second win. It wasn't easy as he had to hold off Landon Simon after a late race red. Matt Westfall wrapped up the 2019 BOSS championship the week prior with his win at Atomic Speedway.
"When I won the Jack Hewitt Classic it was unbelievable...I never thought that would happen. This place has always suited me for whatever reason. The way you have to drive here just works for me and we've always run good here. To be able to win both BOSS features here this year...I'm at a loss for words. I didn't know if I was running in the right place and when you get reds and yellows you start second guessing yourself wondering if you're in the right spot. Luckily we were. I heard Landon late in the race and I just had to buckle down and hit my marks and make him drive around me if he could," said Gardner beside his Pate Manufacturing/Advanced Racing Suspensions/Superior Bearing and Supply/Ashford Motorsports backed #9G.
For the 50-lap FAST feature, Henry and Cale Conley brought the field to green with Henry grabbing the early advantage over Conley, Zeb Wise, Gee and Bell. Bell drove fifth to third on lap four and took second a circuit later. Bell quickly closed on Henry and drove into the lead on lap nine as the leaders entered heavy lapped traffic. Shawn Dancer slipped off the track on lap 11, necessitating a red as officials wanted to make sure he was safe. On the restart and with a clear track, Bell and Henry scooted away from a good battle for third between Conley and Wise with Gee staying within striking distance.
By lap 15 Henry had closed the gap on Bell and pounced on lap 17 to regain the lead only to have Bell return the slider the following lap to move back to the point with Conley, Gee, Foos and Wise in Pursuit. Heavy lapped traffic awaited the leaders by lap 20 but Bell was able to move through to maintain a slight lead over Henry with Gee moving into third.
Driving through turns three and four in traffic on lap 25, Bell got side ways, did a 360 and kept going, but dropped to 11th, moving Henry back to the lead over Gee, Conley, Foos and Wise. A caution on lap 32 for a Chad Kemenah spin put Gee right on Henry's rear bumper and on the restart Gee drove to his outside as the pair raced side by side with Gee finally taking the lead on lap 34.
Gee was able to pull away slightly from Henry over the next hand full of laps while Conley was battling Foos and Duncan for third. With 10 laps to go, Stuart Brubaker spun, putting Henry once again on Gee's rear bumper. Kemenah would spin again on lap 42, setting up an eight lap shoot out. On the restart Gee and Henry pulled away from Foos while Conley battled with Bell for fourth. With six laps to go, Henry took several looks to the inside of Gee but couldn't make the pass. Gee went on to take the win over Henry, Foos, Conley and Bell.
John Ivy and Cody Gardner brought the field to green for the 25-lap BOSS non-wing sprint car feature with Gardner jumping into the lead over Toby Alfrey, Ivy, Cory Crabtree and Landon Simon. While Gardner pulled away, the battle for second quickly heated up between Alfrey, Ivy and Simon. Simon was able to secure the runner-up spot on lap nine and closed on Gardner with Ivy moving into third.
Gardner and Simon ran nose to tail over the next hand full of laps until the first caution flew on lap 17 when Alfrey had trouble getting back to the pits. On the ensuing restart a multi-car crash saw Dallas Hewitt flip but walk away uninjured. When the green flew Simon kept the pressure on Gardner but was unable to drive to the lead.
Gardner hit his marks perfectly and took the checkers over Simon, Ivy, Ricky Peterson and Max Adams.

BOSS Series Media
October 6, 2019
ALMA (OH) – Ohio’s Matt Westfall came into Buckeye Outlaw Sprint Series (BOSS) race at Atomic Speedway last Saturday night as the point’s leader looking to win a race and determined to put a cap on the 2019 BOSS season Championship. And by the end of the night, and the 25 lap BOSS A-Main event, he did just that. From third starting position to the lead before the first turn and he was well on his way without obstacle. Even a last lap yellow flag and one lap shootout he would secure both race victory and Series Championship holding off the charge of Dallas Hewitt.
“Well, Landon (Simon) left the door open on the bottom so I had to shoot through there,” said Westfall. “I got a good start, we had a good night, and we got the win, that’s all that matters. I really like this place, I have won a few Modified races and several Sprint Car races here, I should have won a couple Late Model races as well but didn’t. This is one of my favorite places to race.”
Westfall got through the gap at the bottom into turn one the leader, but he had to do it three times for complete restarts. First a jumbled up start, then before the field could get through turn three the No. 1H car of Korbyn Hayslett took a big flip and collected by another car forcing the red. A 20-minute delayed followed as an ambulance was dispatched. Now back under race conditions and Westfall exited the field. By lap ten lapped traffic came into play as Westfall wasted little time in stirring up the dust. Hewitt would get by pole sitter Simon and chase after Westfall but it was obvious who had the elite car on this night. When a car spun coming to the checkers that turned yellow, Hewitt had a possible chance. It turned out just that, possible, but not doable as Westfall set sail and Hewitt challenged. Simon would fade to fifth as Michael Fischesser would come up to third followed by Dustin Ingle in fourth.
“At the end of the race it would not fire off very good. I had no idea how close anyone was to me so I just figured if I could stay in the rubber I would be ok. The tires just would not go until I got them hot, some heat in them there at the end. I just did not know how close anyone was then I saw Dallas pull up beside me, so I just stayed in the rubber and slid myself before he could slide me and worked it out to the end.”
27 cars were pit side with the BOSS group as Westfall, Luke Hall, and Brandon Conkel won the heat races. Cody Gardner sailed to the B-Main victory. The BOSS Series will wrap the season up this Saturday night as Waynesfield Raceway Park will host one of the final sprint car races in Ohio for 2019 with the Second Annual Bob Hampshire Classic.
