Local Outlaws race into Millersburg

Local drivers shined under the lights at Hilltop Speedway on Friday, July 8, as Ohio Outlaw Motorsports took to the one-third mile banked oval in Millersburg and wrapped up the first half of the Flat Track State Championship Series, sponsored by Mid-Ohio Suzuki-Honda-Yamaha-Kawasaki of Mt. Vernon.

Leading from the opening flag until the final lap, Millersburg driver Marvin Troyer made things interesting at the end of the Pro Quad feature, popping out of gear for the second time, on the final lap, and barely crossing the line ahead of Gene Hosfelt to secure the victory and move into a tie for the season points lead with defending division champion Andrew Hart.

Troyer and another hometown driver collided at the beginning of the All-Outdoors/Outlaw 450 Quad division feature, as Travis Raber of Millersburg brought out the red flag after flying off of his four-wheeler, clearing the way for Strasburg’s Scott Reifenschneider to go flag-to-flag and pick up his third win of the season, following the restart, taking the checkered flag ahead of Kelly Donaugh and holding on to his season points lead.

Millersburg’s Clayton Mullet won the Dwarf Cars feature and Wooster’s Will Deem rode his Yamaha to victory in the Sportsman Quad main, while other division winners included:

Outlaw Pit Bike: Jim Henson (Howard) Honda

Youth Four-stroke Bike: Will Nicholson (North Eaton) Honda

Senior Bike: Duane Worden (Canal Fulton) Yamaha

Vintage Bike: Joe Baker (Columbia Station) Yamaha

Open Pro Bike: Austin Conant (Mt. Vernon) Honda

Ohio Outlaw Motorsports returns to Hilltop for a two-day event on Friday, July 29 and Saturday, July 30, as they’ll kick start the action with flat track racing Friday night before moving to Tourist Trophy (TT) racing on Saturday.
