Ruefer Repeat In UMP Modified Action. Anderson, Griffith, & Shrout Back To Montpelier Motor Speedway Victory Lane On July 30

When Jake Ruefer picked up the huge Double Header Classic win two weeks ago, it had been 7 years between Montpelier Motor Speedway UMP Modified feature wins. Now with his successful return to the UMP Modifieds, Ruefer made the wait much shorter this time picking up his 2nd win in three weeks at the speedway besting a field of 24 cars. The redraw for the feature found Ruefer and Bill Haager on the front row. Ruefer jumped to a quick lead using the middle to high grove while five time track champion Todd Sherman worked his around Haager to grab the second position. Green flag laps ticked away quickly as Sherman began to hunt down Ruefer searching a variety of lines. On the final lap, Ruefer and Sherman were side by side in the final corner, but it wasn't enough as Ruefer was able to hang on to grab the feature win. Sherman placed second with Bill Haager, Aaron Orr, and Bill Lewis rounding out the top 5. John Halsey picked up the B Main win and heat wins went to Ruefer, Haager, and Lewis.

In Super Stock action, Bluffton Ohio's Tony Anderson led wire to wire to pick up his 3rd win of the 2011 season. Anderson jumped to a commanding lead from the drop of the green flag. Jeff Matheny followed in tow as Lee Hobbs began to work his way up to the leaders from his third row starting position. An intense battle ensued between Hobbs and Matheny as they began swapping positions for the runner up spot. As the feature progressed, Matheny was able to make one last pass deep in the feature to secure the runner up spot over Hobbs. Al Grogg, Ohio's James Kepling and Luke Timmerman rounded out the top 6. Heat races were won by Anderson and Matheny. The win marked Anderson's 27th Super Stock career victory at the Montpelier Motor Speedway and is currently the all time win leader for the divison.

The Mod Lite division found a familiar battle with Sheridan, Indiana's Gary Gipson and Hillsboro, Ohio's Gary Griffith competing for the Mod Lite victory. Gipson grabbed the lead early never leaving Griffith very far behind. Gipson and Griffith battled for the top spot throughout the duration of the 15 lap feature, however, when the checkered flag waved, it was Griffith who was first to the stripe. Elkhart's Chad Clay joined the action closely in the third position with Tim Vangundy and Willie McFarland in the fourth and fifth positions. The heat race win went to Gipson.

In Thunder Car action, Marion, Indiana's Jason Shrout led wire to wire to pick up the convincing feature win. The win marked Shrout's second win in three weeks and his 7th career win at the speedway. Portland, Indiana's Steve Mills and Travis Nichols finished second with Rick Frasure and Mike Hoagland rounding out the top 5. Nichols and Shrout are currently locked into a tight points battle for the 2011 Track Championship with Nichols currently holds the advantage over Shrout by a mere 23 markers.
