The Angola Motor Speedway played host to the “Triple Threat Main Event” on Saturday night that saw the best racing in a long time at the track. The Budweiser Super Late Model 75, Super Pro 75, and Short Track Trucks 40 headlined the racing card. The house was packed with the largest crowd in a while at the historic 3/8 mile speed plant.
Edgerton, Ohio veteran Jack Landis took the lead on lap one and never looked back as he won the season opening Allstar Performance - Lane Automotive 75 at Angola Speedway. At the half way point it was Landis, Marchiniak, Kugler, Hankosky, and Smith. On lap 49, two time defending champion Tommy Cook broke a trailing arm and brother Al Cook, Jr. flew off the backstretch to avoid, retiring both cars from the event. On lap 50 Jason Dietsch moved into the top five and on lap 70 he moved past Smith for fourth. At the finish it was Landis, Marchiniak, Kugler, Dietsch, and Smith. Derek Bischak finishing sixith. Tommy Cook was the Aluminum Racing Products fast qualifier with a time of 14.55 seconds around the high banked three eights mile track and an average speed of 92.758 miles per hour.
The Budweiser Super Late Model was on table next with a $2,000 to win 75 lap feature that saw six lead changes. Scott “Hurricane” Hantz set fast time out of 23 cars on the property during qualifying. Scott Hantz and John Doering, Jr. battled for the lead and swapped it back and forth for several laps until running into a lapped car damaging his front fender. Doering, Jr. was then off the blistering pace. It looked like Hantz was then going to run away with the race until Jack Landis began to catch him. He was locked in on his rear bumper coming out of turn four and rocketed to the high side but couldn’t get enough a run on the outside and came up short by a half car length giving Hantz the win over Landis followed by Phil Massuch, John Doering, Mike Kugler, Dakota Carlson, Jason Shively, Chad Finley, Dave Stehouwer, and Steve Minich, Jr., rounding out the top 10.
