(Peebles, OH) Opening Night always tends to be exciting but the action last Saturday night at Brushcreek Motorsports Complex was overflowing! The fans were treated with warm weather and wide open racing for the first night of action at “The Creek” in 2013. The racing included all of the regular racing classes plus a 100 lap Enduro race. As the sun faded behind the Adams County hills the action heated up on the track as Opening Night got kicked off at BMC.

The first feature event to hit the track was the Crazy Compact class. Bill Taylor and Randy Johnson battled throughout their heat race and this battle transfered into the feature as well. The two traded paint several times as the swapped positions throughout the 8 lap main event. As the laps wound down Bill Taylor pulled out slight lead. On the final lap Randy Johnson made one last campaign for the lead but came up short. Bill Taylor won the first Compact race of 2013 followed by Randy Johnson, Jesse Mick and Kelly Young.

The new Sport Mods division debute Saturday night. Kevin McGlone picked up his heat race win and also held off a hard charging, 14 Year old, Tyler Smith to pick up the very first Sport Mod victory at Brushcreek Motorsports Complex. Kevin McGlone was followed across the line by Tyler Smith and Eric Dearing

Next on track was the Modified division. 2011 Modified track champion Dave McWilliams started on the pole with Shaun Scott to the outside of him. Once the green flag was dropped, McWilliams dove to the early lead on the inside of Scott but that didn’t last long. After one lap was completed Shaun Scott battle with Dave McWilliams for a lap then put him in his rear view mirror. Scott sailed to his first win at Brushcreek Motorsports Complex followed by Dave McWilliams, Rusty Hawes, Kevin Dulaney and Jeremy Scott

The Late Model division lined up next for their feature event. Kevin Wagner and Chris Shannon started side by side on the front row. At the drop of the green Wagner jumped out front. Around half way through the 20 Lap Feature event Chris Shannon started working the middle line and chasing down Kevin Wagner. A late race caution bunched the field back up and put Chris Shannon in his best position all night to make a move for the win. On the restart Shannon jumped to the inside of Wagner but Kevin Wagner prevailed and sailed on to the win. 2011 Late Model track Champion Chris Shannon finished second followed by Rob Starkey, Jamie Adams and Daniel Kattine.

The Legend Cars were the final class on tap for the night and they kept the fans on the edge of their seats the entire race. As the race got started it looked like Tom Partin would drive away with the show but a few cautions throughout the race helped the other drivers catch back up with Partin. Jerren Perdue and Derek Minshew started deeper in the field and in the closing laps worked their way up to contend with Partin until disaster struck. Jerren Perdue was running the top side trying to chase Tom Partin down when he got loose in turn 2 spinning his car into the oncoming traffic of the field. Derek Minshew escaped but he was the only one. 5 other cars piled into Perdue and the crash sent John Gutman’s #12 machine sailing through the air landing on its nose, rolling onto its roof then back to its wheels. Three cars finished the race after the 6 car pile up. When the race continued it came down between Tom Partin, Derek Minshew and Cole DeMint. Derek Minshew inched in ever so closely to Partin each and every lap and coming out of turn number 4, made one final bid for the lead but came up inches short. Tom Partin won followed by Derek Minshew and Cole DeMint
