• Wayne County Speedway OH)Just when folks thought the on-track action couldn’t be topped at the O’Reilly Auto Parts Wayne County Speedway, one of the Fast Five series divisions has moved to the forefront. On Saturday night it was the Pine Tree Towing and Recovery Sprint Cars that took center stage. The Ti22 FAST series returned to the ultra-fast 3-8-mile for the second time this season in joining the speedway’s highly competitive 410-winged warriors and the combination failed to disappoint. Findlay-area driver Ricky Peterson wowed the crowd by picking up his first win of the season, and first career FAST series victory as well, by leading the final three circuits of the 30-lap, $3,000-to win headliner at “Orrville’s Historic Oval.” Race Results 7/31

• Lincoln Speedway PA)The first Rack Daddies Rumble title went to Freddie Rahmer. After Rahmer put on the title belt in victory lane he shared, “That was a tough race. I didn’t have a good start. I lost positions at the beginning and just kept fighting. I don’t know that we were the best car.” Rahmer lined up eighth for the start of the 30-lap, $5,000 to win feature. Glenndon Forsythe took the lead early in the race with Chad Trout taking over the top spot on lap 6. Trout looked to be running away from the field but two late race cautions allowed Rahmer to close in and eventually take the lead with the white flag waving. Central PA 7/31

• USAC)The field is set with 89 cars filling a massive entry list for the Driven2SaveLives BC39 Presented by WeatherTech set to take place on August 3-4 at The Dirt Track at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. The event annually boasts the highest car count of the year for the series, and the 89 entries for this year’s fourth running of the BC39 is among the largest in series history. A record 110 appeared in the inaugural edition of the event in 2018 while 84 appeared in 2019 and 71 in 2021. USAC7/30

• CRASH PAD)About a month ago, Bryant Davis had a nasty crash in his Mid-Atlantic Sprint Series (MASS) 305 Sprinter at Bridgeport Speedway in New Jersey. His right rear smacked the outside wall very hard. The rear end was driven up in the car where it contacted the seat bottom – leaving a 4” deep dent in the bottom of the seat. As it was described to me, driveline hoop constraints were not adequate. The result of the rear impact on the seat bottom left Bryant with 9 vertebrae compression fractures – yes, I said nine. That’s bad! But the good news is that he is recovering nicely. Further, he had a 2” Crash Pad bottom in his seat. You’d think, under these circumstances, the Davis’ would be critical of the Crash Pad’s performance. Quite the contrary. I conversed with Dad, Bruce, this past week. Bryant has been using his Crash Pad for about 5 or 6 years. He has tested it before and has always been grateful for its presence. This incident was no different. Bruce told me that they are absolutely convinced that the Crash Pad abated the likelihood of more severe injury. He was sincere and thanked me for the product’s existence. I was speechless for the most part. He stated that if anyone wanted to contact him, he would tell them the same thing. He gave me permission to publish his phone number: 610-368-3973. I just wish he would have had a 3” bottom in the seat – perhaps I might be writing a different press release. www.crashpadus.com or 717-235-7250. 7/30
