DeGraff OH: Shady Bowl Speedway welcomed the first race of the Van Hoy Oil Shootout Saturday. The thunder cars of Indiana came into the home turf of the Shady Bowl Hangar 18 Hobby Stocks, looking to steal the $1000.00 to win 100 lap feature. A full field of eighteen cars charged into turn one at the drop of the green flag. Mike Worrell led the first three counters before giving way to Randy Hoppes. Hoppes was out front until lap twenty six when he fell to Ronnie Rose. On lap 31 local favorite Jason Purtee powered his way into the lead. Dustin Sapp closed in on Purtee passing just after the halfway battle. Purtee did not give up as he dogged Sapp every lap. Sapp and Purtee had the fans on their feet as they battled for the top spot and the $1000.00. Sapp began to fade and Purtee was able to put his Fat Boy’s Pizza Ford out front on lap 79. The DeGraff speedster went on to claim his biggest win of his career. A.J. Stewart was second, with Earl Adams third, Jamison Owens fourth and Justin Feight fifth.
