LIMA, Ohio (July 30, 2021) — Limaland Motorsports Park swung open the gates on Friday night to a huge crowd and a huge field of cars for the 24th Annual Season Championship Night / Family Fun Night / Tim Allison Tribute presented by Alexander and Bebout. Lindsay Oklahoma’s Harli White would lead green to checkered in the K&L Ready Mix NRA Sprint Invader feature honoring the late Tim Allison. Andy Welch would secure his first ever Limaland Bud Thunderstock regular season feature win. Steve Irwin would grab the Non Wing Sprint feature victory, and Kyle Moore would pick up the Northwest Physical Therapy UMP Modified win. Todd Sherman wrapped up the Modified points title, and Tony Anderson would add yet another Thunderstock championship to his illustrious resume.
Next up were the Bud Thunderstock in their 15 lap A Main. No. 22T Tony Anderson, and No. 87 Andy Welch would lead the field to green with Anderson grabbing the early lead, but Welch would get by on lap 2. Caution would fly on laps 2 and 6 involving No 89 Keith Shockency and No. 00 Jamie Sullivan. Anderson would battle back past Welch for the lead on lap 7, meanwhile No. 7C Jordan Conover who came into the night with a slim 2 point lead over No. 74D Crag Dippman, and 6 point over Anderson, found himself in a battle for 3rd with UNOH Racer Randy Giroux in the UNOH No. 11. Dippman’s car would slow to a stop near the halfway point, ending his chance at the championship. Anderson needed to beat Conover by at least 4 spots in the A Main to surpass the 7C. It looked like Conover was set to pick up the championship, until a broken right front suspension ended his night and dashed his championship hopes. Welch would grab the feature win, with Anderson finishing 2nd and wrapping the points title. Giroux would finish 3rd, with No. 1M Jeff Matheny 4th, and No. 23 Casey Barr completing the top 5.
The always exciting Non Wing Sprint Cars were next on the track with No. 1H Korbyn Hayslett, and No. 0 Steve Irwin leading the field to green with Irwin getting out front early over Hayslett. No. 33M Matt Westfall would work his way past Hayslett on lap 4 but all eyes were on No. 24 Landon Simon, as he was riding the cushion to perfection and charging through the field until motor problems would bring his night to an end on lap 8. His cousin Kyle Simon in the No. 23s would battle for several laps with No. 21B Ryan Barr before getting by for the 4th spot for good on lap 9. Irwin would hold off a charge from Westfall to pick up the win. Westfall would come home 2nd with No. 2DI Dustin Ingle 3rd, Kyle Simon 4th, and Hayslett completing the top 5.
Completing the nights racing action were the Northwest Physical Therapy UMP Modifieds in their 20 lap A Main. Churubusco, Indiana’s Todd Sherman only needed to start the A Main to seal the track championship, and he did that and more. No. 34X Shane O’Connor and No. 22T Tony Anderson led the field to green with Anderson grabbing the early lead after multiple attempts at the initial start. Mansfield, Ohio’s Kyle Moore, in the Arnold Motorsports Kryptonite Chassis 1* would grab the lead on lap 4 and take off. Moore would never be seriusly challenged despite several cautions in the first half of the race. Sherman would charge to 2nd on lap 16, but Moore had too big of a lead for the Shermanator to overcome. Anderson would come home 3rd, with No 65x Terry Hull finishing 4th. Hull made his first start in several years since battling cancer and looked tremendous, battling from deep in the field. No 5A Brent Hole would complete the top 5
