Powell, Hass in Gas City races

0

GAS CITY, Ind. — Forty non-wing sprint car drivers signed in at Gas City I-69 Speedway last Friday night to try to win the $2,000 top prize awarded to the winner of the second annual Jerry Gappens Sr. Memorial.

At the end of 25 laps, however, the winner was the same driver who has won three other sprint car features at the Grant County quarter-mile clay track so far this year, Thomas Meseraull of Waveland, Ind.

Several Clinton County drivers were in races at the Gas City I-69 Speedway.

The 15-lap American Mini-Sprint Association (AMSA) feature went to Jac Nickles of Harrod, Ohio. Polesitter Austin Powell of Wilmington led the first nine laps before Matt Freeman brought out a yellow when he stopped low in Turn 4. Nickles passed Powell for the lead at the start/finish line as the field put lap 10 in the books, and led the remaining five laps to secure the victory in the CTK Motorsports No. 31 sponsored in part by T&D Interiors, NWO, RCS Construction and NBC Steering and Pumps.

Ryan Barr of Piqua, Ohio nipped Powell at the line on the last lap for the runner-up honors. Powell said he got a little loose in the closing laps so he was pleased to finish third. Anthony Hass of Sabina and Brandon Watson of Daleville, Ind. rounded out the top five.

Over the Fourth of July weekend Gas City will switch to a Saturday night format instead of Friday with its Star-Spangled Spectacular on July 6. Sprint cars, UMP modifieds, street stocks, hornets, tough trucks and MMSA mini-sprints are on the card, as is a big fireworks show.

The track also will be in action July 12 prior to its July 18 date that is part of USAC Sprint Week.
