Bradford, OH -
After a season of coming close, several times, "The Sniper" Wayne Chinn finally tasted victory for the first time in 2007, picking up the $1,500 to win Bear Wieck Memorial win at Moler Raceway Park on Saturday night. Chinn bested a field of thirty one Super Late Models, leading all twenty five laps, uncontested.
The Labor Day weekend kicked off Friday night at Brown County Speedway in Russellville, Ohio with Wayne winning his heat race by over half a straightaway. In the feature Chinn would line up in the second row, but would waste no time finding his way to the front of the pack, taking the lead from then leader Danny Hurt on lap four of the twenty five lap event. "The Sniper" would lead the next fifteen laps before losing a driveshaft with just six laps remaining in the event. Wayne would be credited with the thirteenth position, despite his dominance all night long.
During the wee hours of Friday night/Saturday morning, Chinn Motorsports trekked to Speed Weasels Performance Warehouse, in Milford, Ohio to try and purchase some parts to fix the Erwin Dealership/Sugar Creek Packaging/AWP of Ohio/JB Enterprises/Hyatt Web Designs/Dodge/Rayburn in time for Saturday night's Bear Wieck Memorial at Moler Raceway Park. Chinn Motorsports would like to thank http://speedweasel.com/ for their great customer service and helpfulness over the weekend.
As hot laps rolled off, Wayne and team continued to work on the car as many fans and drivers stopped by the hauler wondering if he would be ready in time to race that night. Chinn would show he was more than ready as the heat race rolled out, finishing a close second to "The Boss" Barry Doss. In the redraw Chinn would draw the outside pole for the feature. At the drop of the green flag "The Sniper" would take the lead in turn one and never look back, leading all twenty five laps, picking up the $1,500 prize over "The Iceman" David Spille.
Sunday the Erwin Dealership/Sugar Creek Packaging/AWP of Ohio/JB Enterprises/Hyatt Web Designs/Dodge/Rayburn would use the Johnny Appleseed Classic as a chance to shake down the new Rayburn on the high banks of Eldora Speedway. Chinn would continue his string of impressive heat race runs, with a second place finish to Aaron Scott. Wayne would start seventh on the field for the twenty five lap affair, moving along nicely and running as high as fifth before bringing home a respectable ninth place finish.
