LIMA, Ohio (June 24, 2022) — The first Friday of summer saw Limaland Motorsports Park one of it fallen legends with the 2nd Annual Tribute to “Mr. Excitement” Tim Allison. Allison, the winningest sprint car racer in the modern era at Limaland tragically passed away last summer. The Ohio Logistics NRA 360 Sprint Invaders took to the track with No. 22H Randy Hannagan grabbing the A Main victory.
Before the feature began, the Limaland fans were treated to a 4 abreast parade lap featuring the 20 A Main starters with the pole position left open in honor of the memory of Allison. No. 11H Caleb Harmon, grandson of Allison, led the parade lap in a specially painted sprint car in honor of his grandfather’s memory. No. 22M Dan McCarron, and No. 22H Randy Hannagan would lead the field to the green flag with No 16C Tylar Rankin grabbing the early lead from his starting spot inside row 2. Hannagan would take the lead on lap 5 and just as he entered lapped traffic on lap 10, No. 55 Matt Cogley looped his car out right in front of the leader. Hannagan was able to miss the accident and would restart with a clear track in front of him. Multiple cautions would fly, keeping the field close, but it was Hannagan getting the victory honoring his fallen competitor, with No. 47x Dylan Westbrook finishing 2nd, No. 28 Shawn Valenti third, No. 17 Jared Horstman charging from 14th to 4th, and No. 18 Todd Heuerman finishing 5th.
