WILLIAMSBURG, Ohio (July 5) - The 2nd Annual Phantom Fireworks Big Bang 50 at Moler Raceway Park marked the initial visit of the IRS Late Models to the southern Ohio speed plant.
In qualifications, West Virginia native Tim Dohm took top honors of the 27 cars in attendance with a 13.799 lap. In heat race action Rick Auckland, Bill Williams, Barry Doss, and Duane Chamberlain each taking the wins. While in the IRS fast car dash, IRS Point Leader Robbie Blair took the win with Jesse Lay taking the B-main. Following a great fireworks show courtesy of Phantom Fireworks it was feature time and there was great racing action with IRS regulars Dave Hess Jr leading the way and Tim Dohm, Robbie Blair and MRP regulars John Whitney and Bill Williams all battling hard for the 2nd thru 5th positions. After numerous midrace cautions it looked as though Hess was in control but Robbie Blair got by on lap 30 and went on to take the 50 lap feature event and the $5000 paycheck. Hess held on to 2nd followed by John Whitney, Tim Dohm, and Bill Williams.
