This weekend is complicated by threats of rain, but don’t let that hold you back from heading out to the track!  All Friday night racing was cancelled due to rain and wet conditions.  The weather has also adjusted Sandusky Speedway’s schedule, with the Auto Value Super Sprints cancelling their feature.  Sandusky will continue their show with Mods, Street Stocks, and Hobby Stocks.

More than 700 miles separate the eight events and seven tracks that will take part in nine days that make up the 2013 edition of Ohio Sprint Speedweek.  While NEO Racing News will not be directly covering the UNOH All Star Circuit of Champion Sprint tradition, I realize that many fans make the trek across the state to follow 410 Sprint drivers from start to finish.  This post will try to help by containing all the important information in one big, easy to read chunk.  Continue reading after the break for all the race information.

Rain may have threatened Sandusky Speedway on Saturday night, but maybe the brief sprinkles should have been afraid of the four Feature winners.  #5 Todd Buchanan (Buckeye Super Sprints), #75 Stephen Klinect (Mod), #07 Justin Hamilton (Street Stock),  and #07 Joey Wyckoff (Hobby Stock) all dominated their feature races.

However, the entire field of each race put on a great show for the fans who attended.  Contact, crazy passes, and more unfolded on-track…and in front of the NEO Racing News Ride Along cameras.  Continue reading after the break to see all eight videos from Hamilton, #55 Austin White (Hobby Stock), and #61 Tyler Shullick (Mod).  You won’t be disappointed.

Five Features, five winners at Sandusky Speedway’s rare Sunday night race.

#6L Talon Stephens swept the night’s Buckeye Super Sprint racing after several tributes to his team’s owner, Sam Layne.  Layne, a sprint car owner for more than 30 years, passed away this week.  Talon is the third generation of Stephens to drive for Layne, who helped over 10 drivers get a ride in a sprint car.  Sandusky Speedway honored Layne with a moment of silence prior to the BSS Heat Race, and also left the Feature Race’s pole position open in honor of Sam’s Legacy.

The second leg of North Coast Modified Challenge was also held Sunday night. #33 Jeffrey Fade Jr. won at Lorain Saturday, giving him a chance to snag a $1,000 bonus if he could sweep and win at Sandusky.  The bonus money ended up being safe, as #0 Kenny Phillips finished the 30 lap feature first.

Chris Hamilton cruised to victory in his #5 car to win the Street Stock feature.  #22 Cornel Mentler rode out several red flags to take the Ohio Stock Feature win.  Driver Jerry Karl was taken to the hospital for observation after a wreck on the backstretch during the Ohio Stock Feature, but he is reportedly OK.  Concluding the night were the Hobby Stocks.  Despite not starting until midnight, the field of about 12 cars put on a great show for the fans.  Emerging from the constant two-wide and three-wide racing was  #7 Zack Miller.  This was Miller’s first Feature win.

The picture gallery from the night’s racing is available after the break. Continue reading PHOTOS: Talon Soars in Sandusky Sprints, Phillips Takes Modified Challenge
