Hartlage,
Coe, Evans, Cook and Ingram win at Mt Lawn
It was kid’s
night at Mt Lawn and several youngsters made it to the track to participate in
Big Wheel races and a coin scramble.
The first
feature event of the evening was the Tony Stewart Drywall Crown Vics. Paul Hartlage of Louisville, KY led a strong
southern contingent to take the win followed by John Lister, Daniel Durett and
Ken Tungett to round out the top 5 of the 13 car starting field. Durrett was
fast qualifier at 19.526. Kaylee
Atkinson of New Castle picked up her first win at Mt Lawn in the Dash. Kaylee is the daughter of Mt Lawn veteran
Jason Atkinson who campaigns in the Danny Acrey Street Stock.
Next came
the Claborn Motors LLC Modifieds and Austin Coe of Ft. Wayne came home
victorious followed by his father Scott Coe also of Ft. Wayne. It was the first feature win for either of the
Coe’s. Chris Jennings of Richmond was
third followed by Joe Jennings of Richmond and northern Indiana driver JJ
Schafer. New Castle native Harold Scott
looked to be on his way to his second straight win until with about 10 laps to
go he was involved in an incident coming out of the short turn between Austin
Coe and Andy Cowan of Modoc. As a result
Scott and Cowan were sent to the rear of the field for the restart. Scott worked his way back up the sixth and
Cowan was able to finish tenth. Fast
qualifier was Cowan at 17.046 and Tyler Dehart of Muncie won the Dash.

win of his career beating Allan Edsall of Indy by .124 seconds. Evans is the son of another Mt Lawn veteran

and John Robbins. Edsall was fast qualifier at 17.691 and Deven Bowman won the
