CHILLICOTHE, Ohio (July 10, 2022) — Almost exactly 7 years ago, Dallas Hewitt was one of three cars involved in, perhaps, the best finish in the history of Atomic Speedway. Despite being the fastest car in the closing laps, Hewitt wound up on the short of a dramatic three-car photo finish that resulted in him flipping the Chip Pearson 69 down the front straight. Emerging to a thunderous ovation did nothing to cure the disappointment of that finish. However, last night, driving the Todd Keen 18, Hewitt started from the pole position and wasted no time in establishing a commanding lead he would never relinquish, scoring the win the Atomic high banks owed him.

Twenty-one MPD Racing BOSS sprint cars were on hand. ARP Fasteners qualifying groups were led by Travis Hery, Saban Bibent and Ricky Lewis with Lewis’ 13.364 being quickest overall. Heat races were won by Landon Simon, Hewitt and Lewis. The NGK Spark Plugs redraw put Hewitt on the pole with Bibent alongside. Jesse Vermillion and Simon would roll off from row 2 with Lewis and Hery pulling the dreaded 5-6 spots.

At the drop of starter Adam Brimmer’s green flag, twenty-one brave pilots sailed into the Ross county night with nothing but a little chromoly tubing between themselves and the heavens. Hewitt raced ahead leaving a battle for the ages among Jesse Vermillion, Ricky Lewis, Saban Bibent and Isaac Chapple. It took just 7 minutes and 7 seconds for Hewitt and the fearless BOSS drivers to run 25 laps, green to checkers with 20 of the 21 cars finishing.

Hewitt held a commanding lead at the finish with Lewis prevailing for the runner-up spot over Jesse Vermillion who completed the podium. Isaac Chapple was able to get by Saban Bibent in a torrid battle that completed the top 5. Steve Irwin, Dustin Webber, Justin Owen, Michael Fischesser and Lee Underwood rounded out the top 10.

BOSS is off next weekend but returns to action June 22-23 with races at Lernerville Speedway near Sarver, Pennsylvania and Pittsburgh’s PA Motor Speedway near Imperial, Pennsylvania. We hope you will make plans to join us at both!
