SAN BERNARDINO, Calif — July 18) – Saturday night was a night for front-runners at Orange Show Speedway as four of the five main events were won with wire-to-wire performances.
Linny White in the Super Late Model class, Dwayne Blay in Factory Fours, Brent Scheidemantle in the Legends Cars and Aaron Anderson in Bandoleros all led from start to finish in their respective races, and only in the 35-lap Legends main event was the margin of victory under 1.9 seconds.
Highland’s Jim Edmiston had to come from behind to win the Pony Stock class but had no trouble accomplishing that. He started sixth, took the lead on lap 7 and won the 35-lap contest by 0.654 seconds over Corona’s Adrienne Murlin.
Riverside’s Rob Kiemele led qualifying in the Super Late Model class with a track-record 12.915-second lap, but the top four – Kiemele, White, Glen Cummings and Frankie Gould – all eclipsed the previous record of 13.006 set by White on April 11.
Kiemele pulled a 3 on the inversion draw following qualifying. That meant he would start on the inside of the second row, alongside Gould, and put No. 3 qualifier Cummings and No. 2 White on the front row.
When the green flag waved White beat Cummings to the start-finish line, and when a spin by Ricky McCray forced a restart it was the same story. White surged to the front and was able to pull away seemingly at will throughout the 50 laps on the ASA-sanctioned quarter-mile oval, winning by 2.224 seconds.
Cummings and Kiemele battled for second until lap 40, when Kiemele tried to get inside Cummings on a restart after a caution period and the ensuing contact got both drivers sent to the rear of the field. That set up class leader Barry Karr for a second-place finish, with John Manke third, Mark Shackleford fourth and Toni McCray fifth.
Dwayne Blay and Ben Mahan ran one-two for 35 laps in the Factory Fours main event with Riverside’s Blay getting his Toyota truck to the finish 1.98 seconds ahead of the BMW sedan of the Oak Hills 13-year-old, who holds a 4-point lead after 9 of the 13 races.
Scheidemantle, 16, of Alta Loma, was pressured throughout the race by Tyler Fabozzi, 13, but never bobbled in winning by 0.104 seconds.
Aaron Anderson, 13, of Lancaster, won the 20-lap Bandolero main event by 2.598 seconds over Blake Dunkleberger, of Simi Valley. Parker Malone, 13, of Redlands, had won Friday night’s race.
