Mike Miller Captures Waynesfield
The Buckeye Machine Non Wing Sprints were ready to rumble for 25 laps. Dustin Ingle and Mike Dunlap led the twenty-car field to green. The race into turn one put Ingle in the top spot with Dunlap trying to fight back on the bottom side of the track. Ingle would put his name in the record book leading the opening laps when the red flag flew for the 43G of Rob Guy. Guy’s car went airborne entering turn three sending him end over end riding the protective catch fence. Guy was pulled from his 43G machine and airlifted to the hospital for treatment. At the time of this release, no further details are known on his location or condition. Updates will be available via Waynesfield’s official website and social media channels. The WRP family asks race fans keep Rob in their thoughts and prayers as he and his family work through this difficult time. An extensive red flag followed the incident were drivers were allowed to emerge from their cars while crews regulated tire pressure. On the restart, Ingle led the field into turn one. He would lead the following two laps until the “Magic Man” pulled a trick of his own off of turn four. Mike Miller managed to slide his 82 up to the cushion to get around Ingle for the top spot. A second and final red would fly with just nine laps in the books for the 68G of Tyler Gunn. Gunn’s car bicycled down the front stretch before touching down just past the flag stand. Gunn climbed out from behind the wheel with assistance from track crews and walked away from the scene. Another longer cleanup followed as fuel from the 68G covered the racing surface after the car was removed from the front stretch. Once cars were pushed off for the third time of the evening, Miller led the group to the restart. Miller was so smooth on the final restart that he had a two second lead built up in just a lap and a half. Mike Dunlap in the 2B was fairly quiet in the A-main until the race went under ten to go. Current point leader Kyle Simon did not see Dunlap coming as he flew by on the outside out of nowhere. The running order remained stable giving Miller the victory and a visit to Best Performance Motorsports victory lane. Mike Dunlap posted a second place finish. Kyle Simon bettered his points night coming home third. Luke Hall in the 9N was awarded the hard charger award.
