SLIDES TO “SIX NATIONS SHOWDOWN” VICTORY AT
OHSWEKEN |
 by
Tommy Goudge (July 29, 2009) – It seems
Jason Sides has taken a liking to Ohsweken
Speedway. The Bartlett, Tennessee driver
claimed his second feature win in three career
starts at the three-eighths mile clay oval on
Wednesday night during the second running of
the World of Outlaws Sprint Car series “Six
Nations Showdown”. In ESSO Mini Stock
action, Steve Hess held off a determined
Trevor Goulding to claim his first feature win
of the season.
Jason Meyers and Craig Dollansky started the
thirty lap World of Outlaws feature on the
front row, and it was Dollansky jumping out to
the early lead, while Sides got by Meyers for
the runner-up spot before the first lap was
completed. With three laps completed, the
caution flag flew for the stopped machine of
Dave Dykstra in turn four.
Back under green, Sides began to put the
pressure on Dollansky, and made what would
turn out to be the winning move coming out of
turn four on the sixth lap. That move very
nearly resulted in disaster as Sides used a
slide job on Dollansky to take the lead, and
the two made contact in the process. Dollansky
did well to hang on and stay within striking
distance of Sides, while lapped traffic loomed
ahead. Another caution flag on lap ten gave
Sides a clear track, but an open red flag on
lap sixteen for a Brian Ellenberger rollover
allowed all of the teams to work on their
cars. Many drivers and teams had planned for
the track to dry out as the feature wore on,
but the Ohsweken clay had other ideas, forcing
them to adjust accordingly.
Back under green again, Sides got off to a
strong start and was back in lapped traffic
quickly. Donny Schatz was one of the drivers
who made changes during the break, and was
very competitive in the second half of the
event, but a prolonged battle with Dollansky
over the runner-up spot cost him too much
time, and Sides was able to cruise to the
victory without a serious challenge. Schatz
settled for second, while Dollansky finished
third, followed by Jason Meyers, Jac
Haudenschild, Lucas Wolfe, Cody Darrah, Danny
Lasoski, Kraig Kinser, and Steve Kinser, who
finished outside of the top four in Canada for
the first time in his long and distinguished
career.
Four track records were broken on the fast
Ohsweken surface on Wednesday night, including
Joey Saldana with a new time trial record of
12.420 seconds in qualifying for the
thirty-nine car field, while Jason Meyers set
eight lap heat race and six lap dash race
records, and Wayne Johnson completed the
twelve lap B-Main in record time. Heat race
victories were claimed by Dollansky, Meyers,
Daryn Pittman, and Schatz.
Wyatt Van Wart and Mike Taylor started the
ESSO Mini Stock feature on the front row, but
all eyes were on division points leader
Mitchell Brown, who started outside row two.
Trevor Goulding and Steve Hess quickly moved
up as well, and would become the focus of
attention later in the event after Brown
dropped out. Goulding and Hess spent much of
the last half of the fifteen lap feature
side-by-side, but it was Hess coming out with
the victory after a close call in lapped
traffic with the white flag flying. Goulding
would hold on for the runner-up spot, followed
by Kevin Hilborn, Matt Deschamps, and Ethan
Martin. Heat race victories for the nineteen
car field were claimed by Deschamps and
Goulding.
