Limaland Motorsports Park
Matheny picks up $2000 Keysor Memorial win. Sherman, Simon, and Anderson victors at Limaland
Limaland Motorsports Park opened up the month of June on Friday night with the 20th running of the Keysor Memorial for the Lock Sixteen Thunderstocks. Jeff Matheny of Richmond, Indiana picked up the $2000 victory in the No. J1 Thunderstock. No. 65 Todd Sherman won the Northwest Physical Therapy DIRTcar UMP Modified feature, No. 24 Landon Simon picked up the Non Wing Sprint Car win, and No. 22T Tony Anderson survived a grueling Dirt Track Truck Series feature to get the win.
The race originally started as the Bobby Keysor Memorial Race in 2002 to honor the memory of the 1990 Limaland Stock Car Champion, Bobby Keysor, and was changed in 2013 to the Keysor Memorial following the passing of the family patriarch, Bill Keysor. The Keysor family has been well represented over the years since the 1950's at the Allentown, Ohio speedplant.
In the $2000 to win 15 lap Lock Sixteen Thunderstock feature, No. 1w Mark Wooten, and No. 87 Andy Welch would lead the field to the green flag. Action would ramp up right away as Matheny would power his way to the lead over the course of the first 2 laps, with No. 8c Jordan Conover following suit, making his way to 2nd. Matheny would survive multiple attempts by Conover to make a run at the lead, and multiple restarts to grab the winners $2000 check and trophy over Conover. No. 4m Gabe Mueller would finish 3rd ahead of No. 25 Nick Bowers, and fifth place finisher Welch.
Next up were the Northwest Physical Therapy DIRTcar UMP Modifieds in their 20-lap main event. No. 16 Jeff Koz, and No 34x Shane O'Connor would make up the front row at the start and would have company right away in the form of No. 65 Todd Sherman. The trio would battle for the first 3 laps until Sherman would grab the point on lap 4. No. 4L Mike Learman would make his way under Sherman to grab the lead on lap 8 until the leaders found themselves in lapped traffic 2 laps later, which allowed Sherman to get back to the point. Multiple cautions would plague the final 7 laps of the event, with Sherman winning over Learman, Koz, No. 9C Troy Cattarene, and No. 36 Brandon Vaughan.
The Non-Wing Sprint Cars would be third on the program with their 25-lap feature. No. 26W Cody White, and No. 9N Luke Hall would bring the field to the green flag with White taking the early advantage. No. 24 Landon Simon would get to the front on lap 5 and proceed to the A Main win over No. 21B Ryan Barr, No. 87 Paul Dues, No. 18 Dallas Hewitt, and No. 21 Travis Hery.
The Dirt Track Truck Series would wrap up the night with their 15 lap A Main. No. 78 Dan Ramey, and No. 9 Jamie Heiser would lead the Truck feature to the green flag, with No. 10 Rolly Heyder and No. 22T Tony Anderson making their move to the top 2 positions on lap 1. The 2 would battle wheel to wheel thru several caution flags until Heyder's truck would slow on lap 7, handing the lead to Anderson. Anderson would pick up the win over No. 20 Andy King, Ramey, No. 60 Joe Bell, and No. 17 Phil Hicks.
