COTTLE TAKES MSCS VICTORY AND $10,000 AT LAWRENCEBURG
by Eldon Butcher

     Lawrenceburg, IN.  (Sept. 30)  Shane Cottle of Kokomo, IN, won the 2006 SK Construction Lawrenceburg Fall Classic Sprint Nationals.  The race had a $10,000 accompanying prize put up by promoter Tom Wieck.  Cottle was behind the wheel of the Edison Motorsports sprint sponsored by Crume-Evans Insurance and RG Enterprises. 

     Cottle started ninth in the 24 car, big 50 lap feature for the Hoosier Tire MSCS sprint cars.  He was in fifth place in just 6 laps and in third place at the 17th lap.  His chance to take the lead followed a front stretch incident involving the first and second place cars of Jerry Coons Jr. and Levi Jones.

      Coons and Jones had started on the front row side by side and were running nose-to- tail when Coons found himself doing a 360 at maximum speed following contact from Jones’ car.  Coons made an unbelievable save and drove out of the spin and back into the fray losing just 3 spots.

     Cottle had the lead and would not ever relinquish it.  Jones due to a win the night before the Classic could have won an extra $1,000 if he could have somehow made a pass.  Cottle, who had not raced Friday night, would do the job nicely for the posted 10 grand.  Jones was second in an event in which lapped traffic would never become a problem.  Casey Shuman finished third, Daron Clayton fourth, and Brady Short was fifth.

     Rounding out the top ten were Jerry Coons Jr., Jon Stanbrough, Cole Whitt, Alex Shanks, and Dickie Gaines.  Briscoe made a nice recovery to finish fifth on a night that the speedway and MSCS recognized his car owner and father Dick Briscoe as the Grand Marshall for the event.  AJ Anderson was 12th.  Kyle Cummins headed the second half of the field after avoiding trouble early in a wet, muddy trip through the infield in turn four.

     A new car count record was established for MSCS with 70 racecars on hand despite threatening weather conditions.  Seven heat races, 2 C-Mains, and 2-B mains followed to set the field for the feature.  Cole Whitt, Shane Hollingsworth, Kyle Cummins, Jerry Coons Jr., Levi Jones, Casey Shuman, and Daron Clayton advanced with heat race wins.  Young Guns Chris Windom and Bret Burdette would keep hopes alive with C-Main victories.  AJ Anderson and Scotty Weir would win the two B-mains.

     The two Lawrenceburg point leaders Tony Beaber and Troy Link took provisionals as did Dale Christian and Brady Short for MSCS. Short who could have missed the event as the first alternate turned a provisional opportunity into a great run advancing 19 spots.  Short was the race’s Mike’s Motors Hard Charger Award winner.

     Two special races were run as added attractions Saturday night.  The very popular and excitingYoung Guns Race Sponsored by Armstrong Farms was won by 15 year old Cole Whitt of Alpine, CA.  Second and third went to Chris Windom and Chris Babcock.  The Race of Champions was won by former MSCS Support Series Champion Chase Stockon with Mike Miller and Dickie Gaines in pursuit!  The 18 year old Stockon was also fourth in the Young Guns competition helping this night’s special attractions to become a Young Guns Explosion.  Each event paid $200 to win!

     The season is now over for the MSCS Sprint Car Series.  The final night’s run for Alex Shanks of Marion, IL, produced a third consecutive Hoosier Tire MSCS Points Championship.  Shanks and points runner-up Kyle Cummins both made the feature Saturday night with Shanks finishing 4 spots ahead of Cummins.  The two had been tied in points after Friday night’s race and Saturday was an ever important night for both!
