COTTAGE GROVE SENTINEL JULY 12, 2017 3B Wingless Nationals at Speedway The Wingless Nationals were back at Cottage Grove Speedway for a big $2,000 to win payday courtesy of Herz Precision Parts. 14 wingless sprints were on hand for the big event, the car count may have been low but the talent level was high! The IMCA Sportmods were competing for the 3rd and fi nal night of the Freedom Cup, and with only 1 point separating Jorddon Braaten and Daniel Ray. The Quality RV Hornet Cup was also competing for 1 fi nal time in honor of Melvin Walker and going into racing action Joe Maricle had a 19-point lead over KC Scott. Late Models were also on the card to round out a full night racing! Qualifying kicked off competition and quick timers of the night were Burnie Bryant in the Quality RV Hornets, Chris Frisbie in the IMCA Sportmods, Blaine Taylor in the Late Models, and Rob Lindsey in the Wingless Sprints James Heating & Air Conditioning Heat Races were up next and the racing was HOT!! Burnie Bryant and Joe Maricle were the win- ners in the Quality RV Hornets from 4th place starting spots gaining them each valuable Hornet Cup points. Jorddon Braaten was fast as always in the fi rst of 2 IMCA Sportmod races coming from 8th to win. Chris Frisbie picked up the other win for the Sportmods from a 4th place start. Only 1 James Heating & Air Conditioning Late Model race was ran and it was a battle from 4th to the win for Blaine Taylor who would come out victorious. The wingless sprints also had 2 heat races that would add to qualifying points for the main event and Rob Lindsey and Kyle Miller were quick to pick those wins and points up. The dice was rolled for Late Models and Football team goes to camp By Zach Silva zsilva@cgsentinel.com Football is back. Well, sort of. Last week the Cottage Grove High School football team travelled to Newport to practice and then scrimmage against the Cubs. The scrim- mage featured each team run- ning ten plays on offense and ten plays on defense. “I thought our guys did a good job competing, listening to their coaches and learning. It was a good day,” said head coach Gary Roberts. After a successful campaign last year that ended with the Lions placing, the Lions are looking to get back to the title game this season. Quality RV Hornets and the zero showed its friendly face putting the James Heating & Air Conditioning Heat Race Winners on the front row! Dot’s Trophy Shop Dashes put the fastest 4 drivers from the Qual- ity RV Hornets, IMCA Sportmods, & Late Models to the test for 4 laps. Brad Moffett, Chris Frisbie, and Curtis Towns all took home some gorgeous hardware! Finally, the Wingless Sprints would run a 6-car dash for one more trophy and $100.00. Colin Baker made a last lap pass on Brad Rhodes to pick up the win. IMCA Sportmods were up fi rst for main event action, Matt Brown and Doug Coffman shared the front row and paced the fi eld to the green fl ag. Coffman got the early lead and it was a race for fi rst be- tween him and Chris Frisbie until a lap 7 caution fl ag fl ew for Fris- bie restarting him at the tail of the fi eld. Coffman continued to lead with a hard charge from Buddy McHargue and Jayson Nelson who would lead a couple laps until Justin McCreadie took the lead on lap 13 and led a relatively caution free race until taking the checkers on lap 25 over Nelson, Shawn Hand, McHargue and Daniel Ray. Points were tallied and Daniel Ray would be your 2017 Freedom Cup Champ. Late Models were up next and with that 0 dice roll the fast guys were up front and ready to go fast. Blaine Taylor and Josh Sim started side by side and Taylor led the fi rst 10 laps. Row 2 drivers Chuck Christian and Curtis Towns were ready to fi ght tho and the 3-wide race for the win was on! At the end it would be Towns, Taylor, Christian, Ryan Ronning and Dave Schmidt in the top 5. Quality RV Hornets were full of excitement as always. After a successful 2016 season, the team is gearing up for fall “Every year is a different animal,” said Roberts on his teams chances to get back to the title game. “It is really going to depend on how hard the kids want to work and how dedicated they want to be to being successful.” The team is only losing six seniors from last year’s squad but all six players that they are losing were named to the 4A All-State fi rst team, second team or honorable mention. Most notably in that group was starting quarterback Blake Sentman who received fi rst team honors and Kory Parent who was fi rst team at both wide receiver and defensive back. While they will be working to fi ll the holes left by gradu- ation, the team will have wide receiver Jacob Woods and center Cooper Ladd who were both named to the 4A All-State second team last season. Ad- ditionally, fellow senior-to- be Hayden Glenn, who was named a second team defen- sive back and honorable men- tion at wide receiver, will also be back. Regardless of the pieces in play, Roberts still sees that it will come down to how hard the team as a whole is willing to work. “It’s our job as coaches to get them to understand the pressure and expectations that will be on them,” said Rob- erts. “Like I told them in camp, we’re going to get everyone’s best shot.” GIVE BACK with your subscription!

Your Way. C ottage G rove Scores Burnie Bryant and Joe Maricle were side by side at the cone and off to the races fi ghting for not only the win but those Quality RV Hornet Cup points as well. The race was stopped on 2 different occasions, once to extinguish some fl ames on the Mazdarotti driven by KC Scott and again when the 48S of Jason Swaim rolled his car, then in Hornet style drove it into the pits! The race went back to green and Maricle picked up the win over Bryant, Mike Swaim, Rich Dickinson, and Brad Moffett earning Maricle enough points to easily become the Quality RV Hornet Cup victor!! The last main event of the night was the 50 lap Wingless Sprints, Brad Rhodes and Ricky Ashley shared the front row for the biggest Wingless event of the year. Ashley got ahead on the start and led the fi rst 4 laps until the 6A of Kyle Miller made his way to the front and took off thru the pack of cars catching lap traffi c and weaving thru it by lap 12. There was some incredible racing thru the fi eld for a full 50 laps. There were so many different races for position thru the entire fi eld no matter where you watched you were getting a show. Ashley and Colin Baker battled hard for 2nd all night long. It looked to be over for Trent Carter and Rob Lindsey as each driver fl ew off the top of turn 3 but showed serious skills as they made it back into the racing groove with no problems. The fuel stop came at lap 30 and crews scrambled to get the cars full of fuel and ready for the fi nal 20 laps. Miller led the fi eld past the cone and back to green fl ag racing for a caution free fi nish to the race. Miller defended his title as Wingless National Champion followed by Baker, Ashley, Lindsey, and Sterling Kane.
