It was Harley Night at Shady Bowl Speedway Saturday and a large crowd was on hand to watch five feature races.

The Iron Man 40 for the sport stocks was the major race of the night.

Rookie Chuck Kemp paced the field for the first few circuits with pressure from several drivers. Kemp finally gave up the lead to Rodney Roush. Roush, from Sidney, then took over the point in his Roush and Sons Monte Carlo and led the rest of the event to take the win. Larry Adams was second, with Chris Abbott third, Aaron Pippin fourth and Rex Purtee fifth. Brian Brandyberry set fast time with a 14.94 lap.

In Modified action, DeGraff's Steve Snapp led all the way in his family-owned Stroble Incorporated sponsored racer to post his first win of ‘08.The defending track champion was chased across the finish line by Jim Lewis Jr., Jason Wells, Chris Parker and Chad Poole. Poole was fast qualifier with a 13.78 lap.

The 20 lap Compact main saw Jerry Ellis Jr. of DeGraff lead all the way for the second week in a row to win. Ellis was behind the wheel of the Cabinet Store/Bowden Motors Honda. Justin Durflinger was second, with Buck Purtee third, Justin Pope fourth, and Jeff Kimes fifth.

The Detroit Iron finally got to race, after being rained out every time thus far in ‘08. Jerry Ellis Sr. won the 20 lap feature. Ellis was driving an El Camino pickup sponsored by Bowden Motors. Robert Bronson, Tim Allen, and Jeremy Rice rounded out the field.

The win in the Pro-4 main went to Houston's Steve Clarkson in his Rosewood Machine backed Ford. It was the seventh win in eight starts for Clarkson. Kenny Snyder, Dave Sage, Josh Sage, and Rodney Schrack rounded out the top five.

This week will be "Pepsi Night" for the racers, with the late models going 50 laps for a top prize of $2000. The Modifieds, Compacts, Dwarf Cars, and Detroit Iron will also be in action. Racing will start at 7.
