Eccles Excels In Borgers AllStar Slingshots.
At the final race of the 2013 racing season last November at Borgers Speedway Taylor Eccles won his first Borgers feature event. The victory in the Slingshot Run What You Brung was gratifying but it was not like winning an AllStar Slingshot feature event. After playing bridesmaid all last season a feature event win was a dream for Taylor. On this bright sunny Saturday afternoon that dream became reality.
At the drop of starter Tyler Knitter’s green flag it was Al Hauptman, John Bockhorn, and Tom Arntz to turn one but Bockhorn would charge into the lead coming out of turn two with Eccles glued to his rear bumper. Immediately a torrid three car battle for the lead developed between Bockhorn, Eccles, and Hauptman. Last week’s feature winner Mark Sensenig was on the move and got by Arntz on lap eight with his sights set on Hauptman. While the battle for third was raging a full blown “Inferno” was erupting between Bockhorn and Eccles for the lead. As Bockhorn and Eccles battled side by side the “High Flying Eccles” made a daring move on the outside of Bockhorn under the flag stand charging into the lead going in to turn one. From then on it was all Eccles never missing a beat and hitting his mark turn after turn. As the checkered flag dropped a jubilant Taylor Eccles had made his dream turn into reality as he pulled into Borgers Speedway victory lane. Bockhorn finished second followed by Hauptman, Sensenig, and the veteran Jim Conroy. Another fine run netted Eddie Reeder a sixth place finish. Scott Heilman, in his first Slingshot ride, finished seventh and Ken Reeder also turning in a fine performance for eight. Tom Arntz struggling all season had to settle for ninth but the tough times will pass and Arntz will soon be back. to his winning form.
In Hoosier Racing Tires TQ/Asphalt 600 Sprints Pat VanVarick made it win number three but it was not an easy task as Borgers 2013 defending TQ champion Austin Fehr tried every trick in the book to keep VanVarick from victory lane. VanVarick, Fehr, and Larry Hoagland sprinted to turn one but Geoffrey Sutton got past Hoagland coming out of turn two. As VanVarick and Fehr locked in a battle for the lead Hoagland putting pressure on Sutton regained third spot. Hoagland looking very strong held third spot as the battle for the lead raged on. A slight hiccup in turn three sent Hoagland to the high side and Sutton regained third. Meanwhile Fehr was relentless in putting extreme pressure on VanVarick for the lead. VanVarick held strong taking the win but Fehr sent VanVarick a clear message that he is a force that VanVarick will have to deal with in the weeks to come. Sutton in the Metz Rides For Rent car finished third followed by Hoagland, Patrick Force. Joey Bailey blew a motor in the heat and did not start the feature.
AllStar Slingshots… Taylor Eccles, John Bockhorn, Al Hauptman, Mark Sensenig, Jim Conroy, Eddie Reeder, Scott Heilman, Kebn Reeder, Tom Arntz.
Hoosier Racing Tires TQ/Asphalt 600 Sprints… Pat VanVarick, Austin Fehr, Geoffrey Suttton, Larry Hoagland, Patrick Force, DNS... Joey Bailey.
