Kicking off the afternoon was a live performance by Nashville Crush with an "Unplugged" musical set for the fans before the races. Also, a Trick or Treat session was held on the front stretch for the younger fans, who came dressed up ready to get some goodies from some very gracious racers, sponsors, and even vendors. Feature racing kicked off with the 305 Sprint Cars, with Fremont Ohio's Paul Weaver picking up the win in the #1w. Patience was the key for Weaver, as several cations marred the 20 lap A Main. Weaver's winning pass came on the final restart on lap 16, as he would power under #1 Nate Dussel exiting turn 2 and never look back. Dussel would finish 2nd with #77i John Ivy 3rd, #8F Matt Foos 4th and #20B Cody Bova completing the top 5. Weaver also picked up a $50 bonus from On The Throttle with Duane Hancock for being the highest finisher signed up with Duane before the Friday October 14th deadline.

Cottle would grab the lead on lap 8 from early race leader #4 Michael Fischesser. Caution would wave for #11 Travis Berryhill coming to a stop on lap 11, and a scary accident on the restart involving #39 Matt Goodnight, #23s Kyle Simon, and #18 Todd Keen that resulted in Matt Goodnight being transported to a local medical facility for observation after walking to ambulance under his own power. The red flag would wave once again on lap 12 for #38 Dean Jacobs, as he would get upside down in turn 2. Dean would walk away unharmed. #93 Sheldon Haudenschild went to work after the caution, moving up to 2nd on lap 14, and taking the lead on lap 16. Haudenschild appeared to have the race well in hand until in hand until getting into the turn 3 wall while manuvering thru lapped traffic and damaging the front end of the #93, and ending the Wooster Ohio native's feature. Cottle would inherit the lead on the restart, and hold on to win over #33m Matt Westfall, #77 Dustin Smith, #11p Brady Short would be scored 4th after hitting the front stretch cone on the final restart, and being docked 2 spots, and Fischesser would complete the top.

The Winged 410 Sprint Cars would take to the half mile next in a 30 lap A Main. Bloomington Indiana's Kraig Kinser would win the $5000 top prize in the Arctic Cat, MVT #11k. Kinser started the feature in 3rd and fell back early, as #10H Chad Kemenah took the early lead over #35 Stuart Brubaker, and #93 Sheldon Haudenschild, but all eyes were on #6m Jac Haudenschild, as the "Wild Child" put on a show after starting 17th. Haud moved up to 9th by lap 4 and seemed to be on his way to the front. Kraig Kinser got to the front first on lap 14, grabbing the lead from Kemenah, but once again, Jac was the star of the show, as he knifed his way through the middle of his son Sheldon and #5T Travis Philo as they battled wheel to wheel. Jac grabbed 4th place and seemed poised for more until a flat tire ended his night. Kinser would hold on to win over a hard charging Sheldon Haudenschild at the end, with Kemenah 3rd, #22 Cole Duncan 4th, and Brubaker completing the top 5. Sheldon Haudenschild picked up the $100 bonus from On The Throttle with Duane Hancock.

GRASS ROOTS RACING RETURNS TO FINDLAY, OHIO
(Findlay, OH)

Today, new promoters for Millstream Motorsports Complex, home of; Millstream Speedway, are releasing a long awaited 8 race schedule with special events to compliment the 2015 dirt track race season.

The Emick’s recently had a chance to meet and congratulate the new owner in Florida. Historically fans have had a hard time predicting, “Who will win an All-Star show?” Race fans will recall, ironically, the Emick’s, adopted a “mission statement” in the 2001 All-Star program, which may turn out to be a reflection of the 2015 season for the All Star group.

The month of June will also be history making on June 14th when the 3rd leg of the Buckeye Late Model, “Dirt Week Speedweek”, with Stocks and Mini-sprints hit the ½ mile clay oval. June 28th will host Non-winged Sprints, 360 Sprints and Modified teams, making a total of 6 different racing divisions for the month.
July 5th, the All-Stars return with 305 sprints for the inaugural, “Infield Fan Fare,” where race fans can take the infield, to experience the thunder, throughout the night.
August 2nd, the Boss Non-wing Sprints will go the distance for a $1500 purse, with Mini-Sprints. August 23rd the All-Stars return for their final appearance of the 2015 season with 305 Sprints.

Racing to Return to Millstream in 2015
Ladies and gentlemen will once again start their engines at Millstream Speedway. Just when the racing season is winding down for many race tracks, local race fans cannot help but get excited for a long awaited announcement that someone will be shaking off the dust at Millstream Speedway. The announcement is finally here. Track Owners Greg and Mary Beth Roe have entered in a multi-year agreement with long time racing enthusiasts Randy and Lisa Hammer from Fremont, Ohio. "Motorsports in Northwest Ohio is alive and will be full of drive in 2015", says Hammer. The 1/2 mile semi-banked clay oval has remained dormant for the past 3 years except for some track time with several ATV extreme dirt events. The Hammer's are well known, and have a reputation and resume that includes a long history in motorsports of driving, owning, promoting and winning. After sitting down with owners, the Roe's, to discuss a strategic plan on how they could keep the spirit alive in Findlay Ohio, the parties came to an agreement they feel will be in the best interest of the track, the racers and the community. With a little help from some fabulous Flag City race fans, 2015 will make the rebirthing of a race track with a vast amount of grass roots racing history to share.
The Hammer's are excited to reach out to the community to build a facility and reputation that boldly represents motorsports at its finest, and something the community can be proud of.
The Roe's are ecstatic to see the vision for the facility, to include different forms of motorsports; local community participation on the grounds, and reaching out to local charities and non-profit organizations that can be helped by the racing communities support.
Scheduling of events will be announced at a later date. Anyone interesting in talking with the Hammers can contact them at hammertime24@ymail.com or follow the breaking news on the track website; www.millstreamspeedway.net or find us on the Facebook page; MILLSTREAM SPEEDWAY.
