Bruce Gray Jr. and Pierce Foster First Time Winners at Brushcreek Motorsports Complex

(Peebeles, Ohio) A large group of fans and competitors converged at Brushcreek Motorsports Complex on July 3 for the annual running of the Firestorm. Living up to the "Thunder in the Valley" moniker, the roar of high horsepower engines and thunder of powerful fireworks filled the valley surrounding the 1/3 mile speed plant throughout the evening as the crowed roared in approval.

The large crowd was first treated to all the evenings heat races before a dueling fireworks show took center stage. Rozzi's fireworks presented by the People's Defender and Life Ambulance battled Hamburg Fireworks presented by Ohio Valley Roofers, A7 Auto, Huntley's Auto Parts, In Memory of JC McCane, Ty Pell Surveying, Monty Boyd Concrete, South Central Constucion, Rugged Cross, Washboard Laundry, Ritchie Foods, B-Zee Pavement Maintance, West Union Spine Center, Dave Purdin Auto Sales, Buckeye Precast, Central Star Drilling, Dave and Robin Swap Shop, Southern Hills Therapy, Brian Pertuset Custom Homes, Warrior Graphics and Attorney Kris Blanton.

The dueling fireworks show filled the sky high above the speedway for 20+ minutes before ending with a spectacular finale that had the crowed roaring in approval. As the crowed cheered the show they had just saw, the lights were brought back to life in preparation for the evenings feature racing events.

Wallingford Kentucky's Arnie Fields stormed to his second straight late model feature win. Winchester, Ohio's Weasel Rhoades blitzed the modified field to pick up another feature win. West Union Ohio's Bill Taylor rolled to his third crazy compact feature win. While Chillicothe, Ohio's Bruce Gray Jr. stormed to his first bomber feature win at Brushcreek and Pierce Foster picked up his first legend feature win at the 1/3 mile speed plant.

Mark Morrison and Dillon Huron brought the late model feature field to the green. Morrison jumped out to the early lead. Leading the first thirteen circuits before disaster struck when the right rear tire let go as fifth starting Weasel Roades started to close in on the leader. Rhoades somehow managed to get by the suddenly slowing, Morrison to take the point. The flat tire ended Morrison's night with a disappointing 14th place finish. Rhoades would lead the next four circuits as Arnie Fields followed closely. The action was slowed on lap seventeen when three cars got together in turn two to bring out the caution.

On the restart, Fields dove under leader Rhoades entering turn one. The duo went through turn one side by side. Fields gained a small advantage coming out of turn two, before pulling to a couple car length lead down the back stretch. Fields held on over the final few laps to pick up his second straight feature win. Following Fields across the line were Weasel Rhoades, Clint Jamison, twelfth starting Bill Williams, and ninetieth starting Paul Moore to round out the top five.

Brad White and Dustin Webber were scheduled to bring the modified feature field to the green. At the drop of the green flag the feature field shot into turn one. The yellow quickly waved when three cars failed to navigate the turn. All three cars involved suffered damage that ended their night before one lap was officially in the books. Also while under caution, pole sitter Brad White and ninth starting Mike Gross suffered mechanical problems ending their night.

With the field lined back up for a complete restart, last row starting Travis Fleshman experienced a small fire under his hood forcing him to the infield ending his night just as the one to go signal was given. At the drop of the green flag Weasel Rhoades jumped out to the early lead followed by Dave Jamison. The duo left the action behind them as they pulled away from the third place battle. Rhoades cruised to his seventh modified feature win followed Jamison, Dustin Webber, Josh Edmisten, and Justin Mullen rounding out the top five.

Tony Steffen and Troy Dotson brought the legend feature field to the green. Steffen jumped out to the early lead followed by Dotson, John Gutman and Pierce Foster. By lap seven fourth staring Foster found himself behind leader Steffen. Coming through turn four on lap eight Foster was able to slide the Elmo Racing #67 past Steffen to take the point. Foster held on over the final laps to pick up his first legend feature win at Brushcreek. Following Foster across the line were Tony Steffen, John Gutman, Tom Partin, and Troy Dotson rounding out the top five.

Mark Keatzel and Aaron Chesser brought the bomber feature field to the green. Chesser jumped out to the early lead followed by third Starting Bruce Gray Jr. and Mark Keatzel. Chesser suffered a flat right rear tire early, allowing Gray and Keatzel to get by before Chesser was forced to take his 15c pit side. The action was slowed with a mid race caution for two cars in turn two. On the restart, Gray was able to maintain his advantage and cruised to the win. Following Gray across the line were Mark Kaetzel, Dan Reno, Mike Brust, and Shane Newman rounding out the top five.

Rusty Demint and Bill Taylor brought the crazy compact feature field to the green. Taylor jumped out to the early lead as Demint and Jim Chandler battled for second. Chandler and Demint go together in turn four on lap two, but both were able to keep them pointed in the right direction and the race stayed green. Upfront Taylor had begun to pull away slightly as the battle for second raged. With Chandler now in second he could set his eyes on Chandler, but Taylor had already built about a four car lengths lead. Chandler wouldn't be able to get any closer. Taylor held on to pick up his third crazy compact feature win this season. Following Taylor across the line were Jim Chandler, Rusty Demint, Brent Smith, and Matt Nichols rounding out the top five.

Brushcreek Motorsports Complex will return to action on Saturday July 11 with a regular racing program consisting of late models, modifieds, legends, bombers, crazy compacts. Plus the "Sons of the Big Guns" go kart race at the Go-Kart track.
