LIMA, Ohio — Summertime heat greeted the fans as the gates opened at Limaland Motorsports Park on Friday as Homeland Technology Group presented the 21st Annual Keysor Memorial.
The Great Lakes Traditional Sprints feature was won Thomas Meseraull, aboard the Simon Racing No. 23K.Â
The Great Lakes Traditional Sprints would kick off feature action following preliminary events. The 25-lap even saw the No. 24 of Lee Underwood and No 2DI Dustin Ingle bring the field to green. Ingle would lead the early laps before No. 23K of Thomas Meseraull would sneak by following a lap-five caution.
The No. 41 of Ricky Lewis would throw a slide job on T-Mez on lap 11. Meseraull would cross over and battle back but Lewis would take the point on lap 12. On lap 20, Meseraullbegan to reel in the leader by running the highside of the track in turns three and four and the bottom of turns one and two.
As the leaders took the white flag, lapped traffic would come into play and Meseraull would once again head to the top of turns three and four, Lewis would slide up the track, allowing TMez to cross over and grab the win by half a car length at the finish line. Lewis was second, Underwood would finish third, Ingle fourth, and No. 16 Jackson Slone fifth.
The Lock Sixteen Thunderstocks readied for the annual event honoring one of the longtime supporting families at Limaland. Double features for the Thunderstocks were on tap as the night started with No 17J Jarrod Klay grabbing the makeup feature from May 19.
The Midwest Shooting Center DIRTcar UMP Modified feature was won by No. 34x Shane O’Connor, and the Keysor Memorial feature was halted on lap 2 as a traffic accident caused the loss of power to the track.
The Advance Machine Solutions Dirt Track Truck Series would hit the track next for their 15 lap feature. No 499 Dustin Cover, and No 2 Dusty Ratliff would lead the field to green but it was No 10 Rolly Heyder who would take off with the lead and never look back, winning over No 9R Justin Rapp, No 9PG Percy Gendreau, No 29C Chris Bitters and No 1S Mike Sawmiller.
