What won the race: Taking advantage when early leaders Steve Casebolt and R.J. Conley got together while battling for the top spot, third-running Tyler Carpenter of Parkersburg, W.Va., inherited the lead and went on to capture Friday’s Ultimate Mid-Ohio Valley Series race at Brushcreek Motorsports Complex. Carpenter outran fourth-starting Jackie Boggs and earned $3,000 for winning the fifth annual Late Model Barnburner, part of the tour’s Buckeye Late Model Dirt Week.
Quotable: “I feel like I should have won the last three (races) in a row … wrong tire call last Saturday night at Wayne County, but you know what? I wasn’t gonna let it get me tonight,” said Carpenter. “I said I’ll just try to maintain these babies and let ‘er eat. I’d rather just drove right around them guys (Casebolt and Conley) and raced my guts out and took the lead the right way, but you know, a rule’s a rule. Best believe it’s bit me before.”
Key notes: Tyler Carpenter notched his third career Ultimate Mid-Ohio Valley Series victory. … His previous Ultimate MOV wins came July 26 at Hilltop Speedway in Millersburg, Ohio, and last season at I-77 Speedway in Ripley, W.Va. … Carpenter thanked Columbus, Ohio’s Chuck Longbrake for use of his race engine. … Steve Casebolt and R.J. Conley were sent to the tail of the field after their tangle in turn one spent Conley spinning. … Casebolt rallied back to fifth. … Seven of the 19 starters completes all 40 circuits. … There have been four different winners in six series races this season. Carpenter and Zach Dohm have two wins each. … This was the only appearance by Late Models at Brushcreek this season.
