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

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.”

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.
