Post Race Press Release 8/24/2013: Saturday night was another hot night at the Ukiah Speedway. There were six divisions that competed in the 1st Annual TNT Towing Bomber Bash. The bomber bash was put together in honor of Wayne Hunt at TNT Towing for the appreciation of everything that he does for Ukiah Speedway. The promoter David Furia and staff would like to send a big Thank You to Wayne. The track would not be the same without him and his crew. The jammers started out the night with the Jr Jammer heat race won by David Rank and the Pro Jammer heat race won by Wayne Young. In the main event rookie Kyle Moore took the honors of the pole with David Rank on the outside. Moore took the early lead and lead until Chance Smith passed him on lap number 9. Young was working his way up through the pack to overtake the lead on lap number 14. Young never looked back and took the win for the Pro Jammers followed by Smith, Blocher and Strugnell. Rank to the win for the Jr Jammers followed by Ingalls Jr, and Moore. In the Extreme Outlaws Kyle Tellstrom took the fast time once again with a 13.580. Sierra Furia took home the win in the heat race. In the main event Shelby Helm and Sean Sweeney were on the front row. Helm took the early lead over Sweeney. With Sweeney on the outside and not a lot of traction the outside row he was unable to battle back. Tellstrom took the lead from Helm on lap number 7. When everyone thought that the race was over with Tellstrom in the lead a red flag came out due to an oil leak on the car of Tellstrom causing his car to catch fire. Once he slowed the fire extinguished itself but since the red was brought out for Tellstrom he had to start in the back. In the end it was not enough time for Tellstrom to regain the lead. Helm took the win with Tellstrom in second. By the end of the race the fire on Tellstrom’s car returned causing the officials to follow him into his pit to make sure it was totally out. In the Legends fast time went to Bill Kistenmacher with a 14.618. Kistenmacher also won the heat race. In the main event Mark Miller and Bob Kistenmacher lead the field to the green flag. Bob Kistenmacher took the early lead but it wasn’t long before Bill Kistenmacher was up to the front battling. The one to watch was the car of Jim Sturgess as he was coming up to battle for the lead. In the end Sturgess took the win followed by Bill Kistenmacher, Bob Kistenmacher and Miller. In the bandolero division a new track record was set by Frankie Pickrell with a 14.095. Kolby Berry went on to win the heat race. In the main event Berry and Dylan Washburn set the pace for the green flag. Berry took the early lead but it was not long for the new track record holder to take the lead and not look back. In the end it was Pickrell taking the win followed by Berry and Washburn. David Lyndall took the fast time in the Modified Division with a 13.323. The heat races were won by Charlie Collins and Richie Potts. In the main event Potts and Mike Neilson set the pace for the field to the green flag. Potts took the early lead over Neilson.

The heat race wins went to Terry Pittman and Charlie Collins. With the heat races a qualifier for where the bombers will be starting it put Collins on the inside and Pittman on the outside, both with very fast cars. Collins took the early lead over Pittman. Ray starting in the fourth row inside it took a few laps for him to catch the car of Collins. Collins and Ray fought for a very long time but on lap number 17 Ray finally was able to take the lead position. The car on the move was that of Forrest Kuecker. Kuecker not finishing his heat race made him start at the back of the 20 car field. By lap 28 his was up behind the leader of Ray. The two of them put on one heck of a show but in the end Ray was no match for Kuecker. Ray took home the win and the $800 followed by Kuecker, Duke, and Collins.
