Action was as hot as the weather Saturday night as the Honest Abe Roofing Fast on Dirt series made it’s 2025 debut at Orrville’s Historic Oval after being rained out earlier in the season.
The 30 lap main event would see pole sitter Danny Mumaw take the opening lap lead but on lap 2 coming out of turn two, Tyler Gunn would power past for the top spot as outside front row starter, Jordan Ryan settled into third.
A fierce battle for fourth was going on between Tyler Street, Ricky Peterson and Trey Jacobs, who caused the yellow flag on lap 8 with a spin and damage to his #3j machine ending his night. Gunn using the high line around the 3/8 mile track, kept the lead as Mumaw stayed close in the low groove but he would bring out the next caution with a flat tire.
That would move Sterling Cling into second as he would hound Gunn for the lead. As they went by the flagstand to start lap 20, they banged together but both kept going, racing for the lead. Ryan would slip by Cling with four circuits to go as Gunn had built a comfortable lead but with two laps to go, Gunn suffered a flat tire ending his chance at a victory.
Ryan inherited the point and the Bellevue driver and his Joyride Transport, Burn’s Electric and Meggitt’s Sandblasting & Painting #25 held off one last charge by Cling and record his 1st win of the season at WCS. A race long battle between Tyler Street, Henry Malcuit and Ricky Peterson would see them finish in that order for top five final spots.
