Paulding, Ohio- Paulding County Hospital gives back to all three area schools. Antwerp, Paulding and Wayne Trace schools all received a donation to their athletic departments from Paulding County Hospital this past week. 

Paulding County Hospital offered sports physicals to local athletes during the school day at the end of the previous school year. Sports physicals were performed at all three county schools by Paulding County Hospital providers and staff. With the approval of administration and the Board, Paulding County Hospital was able to donate every dollar collected for the sports physicals performed back to each school’s athletic department. 

Participating in school-related sports is a great way for youth to stay fit, have fun, all while developing school and community spirit. Paulding County Hospital was happy to be able to play a role in this process and give back to these worthy programs.

NASCAR Champion, Kyle Larson had a stellar week of racing, that capped off by winning his 4th Knoxville Nationals for 410 Winged Outlaw Sprint Cars and $200,000.00 for his effort. After a long week of racing, qualifying, and winning the pole for the 65th Annual Knoxville Nationals, it was a long shot for him to make the race. Saturday afternoon his NASCAR obligations had him at Richmond VA in his Cup Car. While that race was going on, he had know idea, it was pouring rain in the Hawkeye State. Once his race was over, his crew helped him make a mad dash to the airport for a charter flight waiting for him. In Larsons favor, Iowa is on central time and that gave him 60 more minutes and pushed the starting time from 7:00 p.m. to 1:00 a.m. 

When his flight was in the air, the airplane tracker app recorded 14,000 viewers tracking his fight. His plane was the most tracked in the world during the flight from Richmond to Knoxville. Once he arrived at the airport he was rushed to the track, just enough time to get his fire suit on and get strapped in his car. Starting on the pole, when the green flag dropped, he led every lap of the feature, taking the checked flag and celebrating in victory lane. It was an amazing day and another accomplishment for the driver called, “Yung Money”. Standing next to the champion on the podium 2nd Wooster Ohio’s Sheldon Haudenschild and 3rd Kasey Kahne.

Larson had a busy race week leading up to the Knoxville Nationals. On Monday, August 10th, He won his 3rd Oskaloosa Challenge, three years in a row at Southern Iowa Speedway in Oskaloosa. This feature race will go down as one of the most interesting. Starting eleventh, Kyle Larson put a controversial late slider on Ryan Timms, to win his third Front Row Challenge in a row, and the sixth in his career. He earned $21,000 for the win. The slider he put on Timms is still a hot topic over a week later and will be the subject of Sprint Car Racing for years.

Thursday, August 13th, Kyle Larson was back in Iowa getting ready for qualifying for the prestigious 65th Knoxville Nationals. He started in 8th and battled into the lead and picked up the win. On the Podium with Larson 2nd Garet Williamson, and 3rd Brent Marks.

Friday, August 14th, Larson had the night off and Donny Sahatz, had the feature win, 2nd Steven Snyder Jr., and 3rd Carson McCarl. 

On Saturday, August 15th, close to home all the Sprint Car tracks were closed because of the Knoxville Nationals. Weather put the damper on most of the other racetracks around the tri-state. Angola, Oakshade and Millstream called their programs early.

The front row pole sitters of Dustin Ingle and Korbyn Hayslett would make up the front row in the 25 lap A Main. On the first lap Jackson Slone knifed his way between the leaders to lead lap number one, but Hayslett would go to the high side of the track and find the speed to grab the lead on lap 2. Ingle fought his way back to second on lap 5, while Jakeb Boxell began his charge from his sixth place starting position. Boxell would get by Slone for third on lap 8 then put a slide job on Ingle in turns three and four to pick up second place. Hayslett would get into lapped traffic on lap 12 and Boxell was able to take advantage, moving past by Hayslett on lap 17. At the same time Hayslett developed a flat left rear tire ending his night.

Approximately 45 football players & coaches from Delphos Jefferson High School forded the Maumee River on July 24th with Upper Maumee Canoe & Kayak. 

They began at the Maumee River Water Trail, River Mile 99 at Antwerp’s Riverside Veterans Memorial Park and paddled to the docking headquarters at Upper Maumee on Rd 192 just outside Antwerp Ohio. It’s a 7 mile trek along the mighty Maumee River that can take anywhere from 11/2 hours to over three hours. It just depends on what the group has in mind when they venture out onto the water!

The Wildcats use this canoe trip as a training exercise for a day of team bonding and learning to depend on each others’ strengths to overcome any weaknesses that may arise. 

Coach Allen Hollman facilitated the trip with Louis Beregszazi, owner of Upper Maumee Canoe & Kayak.

Winchester, Ind., July 19 — It was a different driver, but the results were the same. Briggs Danner in the Doran Racing USAC Silver Crown Car, lead all 100 laps of the 34th Annual, Rich Vogler Classic at Winchester Speedway. Four years in a row, the Doran USAC Silver Crown car has led start to finish, that’s 400 laps. The 24-year-old driver hadn’t even seen the half-mile high-banked oval before he tested on Saturday, but he won the pole and led wire to wire in only his third USAC Silver Crown pavement race. Kody Swanson led all 400 laps of the last four Rich Vogler Classics driving a Doran Racing-prepped car He’s not competing in the series this year since he became its director in the off season.

There were four caution flags in the first 70 laps of Sunday’s race which kept the top runners close, especially the top three of Briggs Danner, point leader C.J. Leary, and Dakoda Armstrong.

Leary and Armstrong kept the pressure up on Danner on all the restarts. At the one-quarter mark Danner had a 0.578-second lead. He was able to pad his advantage to over a second (1.045) for the first time on lap 45, only to have the field bunch up behind him for another yellow. Following the restart on lap 71 Justin Grant passed Mario Clouser for fourth on lap 72. At the three-quarter mark Danner had a 0.675-second lead over Leary, with Armstrong right behind. Still, Danner was able to increase his advantage to over 1 second again by lap 79, and with no more restarts he was able to increase it to 2 seconds in the race’s late stages. But there were still challenges ahead as Armstrong passed Leary for second with a move to the outside on the backstretch working lap 93 and immediately focused on catching Danner. Lapped traffic cut Danner’s advantage to only 0.538 on lap 96, but once he was clear of them, he was able to hold off Armstrong. He had a 1.415-second margin of victory over Armstrong at the checkered. It was his second career USAC Silver Crown victory and first on a paved track. C.J. Leary finished third for the Podium.

Eldora Speedway, July 18- World of Outlaws Kings Royal was won for the 2nd year in a row by Anthony Marci and $200.000.00 for his win. 2nd Rico Abreu $35,000.00 and 3rd Giovanni Scelzi $25,000.00. Marci part of the Pennsylvania Posse and had a lot of Key-Stone State race fans at Eldora chanting Posse-Posse. He led the first 13 laps. Garet Williamson charged into the lead. He pulled away from the field. Behind him, the war began for second as 10th-starting Rico Abreu was on the move and took the spot, but Macri got it back with seven laps to go and set his sights on Williamson.

The laps wound down, and Williamson remained committed to the cushion while Macri built speed through the middle. With two laps to go, Macri snuck by to regain the lead. A yellow flag for a stopped car on the final lap set up a green-white-checkered finish. Macri stayed composed when the green flag flew and drove away to his second straight Kings Royal title to become King Anthony XLIII.

Flat Rock Speedway MI, July-18 “Hurricane” Scott Hantz won his 2nd Stan Yee 150. Jeff Vrsek was 2nd and 3rd Chris Benson.

Wauseon, OH, July 18 – Oakshade Raceway hosted its second Sportsman/Mod event of the season, pitting the Sportsman drivers against UMP Modifieds in a single class. The night started off with the track record being broken twice in qualifying, first by Dylan Hough and then by Dylan Jessen. 

At the start of the 25-lap, $1,200 to win Sportsman/Mod feature event, it was Jarrod Klay in a Modified that took the early led. Klay started on the pole and after an early caution flag, began to battle with the sportsman of Dylan Jessen. Klay was able to hold off Jessen, until lap 10 when he pushed high off turn four and Jessen slipped by on bottom. Jessen would go on to pull away from the rest of the field to earn the easy victory. Dylan Hough appeared to finish second but failed to make weight in post-race inspection, turning the second finishing position over to Dylan’s father, Mike Jessen. Klay would finish third for the Podium. Top 3 in Dominator Stocks 1st Jeff Foks Jr., 2nd Adam Noonan and 3rd Kaleb Hinkley. Sport Compacts Top 3: 1st Ryan Okuley, 2nd Nathan Owens, and 3rd Jason Lee.

Do you want to relive the days of Bryan Motor Speedway? The History Mystery Man on youtube visits Bryan and takes a trip out to the former racetrack and shows everyone what it looks like now. He also talks to former racers, shows old pictures, hears stories, visits a barn nearby that has 2 former cars in it, and takes a trip to Cecil and visits Harts Machine Service and finds out what a huge roll that shop had in racing locally and nationally. When you search youtube, type in “Ghost Track In Small Town American Gem Bryan, OH”.
