Anderson wins fourth Keysor Memorial at Limaland Motorsports Park

LIMA — After being plagued with weather issues and power outages the past several weeks, Limaland Motorsports Park was able to complete all scheduled races Friday night.

No. 22T Tony Anderson picked up his fourth Keysor Memorial victory by winning the makeup feature that was started June 2.

Gibsonburg’s Nate Dussel picked up the 25 lap NRA Sprint Invader feature honoring the memory of Ron Kahle Jr. The Midwest Shooting Center DIRTcar feature saw a first time winner in No. 9C Troy Cattarene, and the regular Lock Sixteen Thunderstock feature was won by No. 18 Brendan Rassel.

Kicking off racing action were the Lock Sixteen Thunderstocks with the final 13 laps of last week’s 21st Keysor Memorial feature. Tony Anderson led when the lights went out, and he led when the checkered flag flew. Anderson thanked the fans and mentioned 1990 Limaland Stock Car champion Bobby Keysor in victory lane, as Keysor encouraged Anderson to get behind the wheel of his own race car 30 years ago. Anderson had to fend off Woonsocket South Dakota’s Brendan Rassel, who tried multiple times to get by Anderson to no avail. No. 74 Craig Dippman, the 2018 Keysor Memorial champion, was third, No. 17J Jarrod Klay was fourth and UNOH Racer Sean Verwys finished fifth in the UNOH No. 11.

Starting off the regularly scheduled program were the NRA Sprint Invaders. The 25 lap feature went from green to checkered with No. 1 Nate Dussel putting on a clinic, winning by a full straightaway against second place No. 17 Jared Horstman. No 71H Max Stambaugh was third, with No. 22M Dan McCarron fourth and Lindsay Oklahoma’s Harli White rounding out the top five in the Ed Neumeister owned No. 11N.

Next up were the Midwest Shooting Center DIRTcar UMP Modifieds in a 20 lap feature. No 9C Troy Cattarene and No. 57 Jeffrey Jessup brought the field to the green flag with Cattarene taking the early lead. Churubusco Indiana’s Todd Sherman moved all around the track in his Vision Hmoz sponsored No. 65 but couldn’t find the line to run Cattarene down. Cattarene dedicated his first career Limaland Modified victory to his dad and asked the fans to say a prayer as his father prepares for triple bypass surgery. Sherman finished second, with No 22T Tony Anderson third, No. 36 Brandon Vaughan fourth, and No. 16 Jeff Koz completing the top 5.

The Lock Sixteen Thunderstocks bookended the night with a second feature event. No. 74D Craig Dippman, and No 28V Shawn Valenti led the field to green but it was No. 18 Brendan Rassel powering his way to the front on lap 3 and going on to survive multiple caution flags to win his second Lock Sixteen Thunderstock feature of the year. Dippman finished second after battling side by side nearly the whole race with third place finisher Valenti. No. 7W Dan Wooten finished fourth and No. 82 Chris Douglas finished fifth.
