RICK QUINN GETS FIRST WIN AT WEST
SILOAM
It was not a good night for the OKDCR dwarf
cars Saturday night. Car count was down and by the end of the night
only two cars finished the feature. The turn two wall got its first
victim in hot laps, Tyler Bachtell tried his best to knock it down
and trashed his right front end. In the first heat Mark Hass tried
the turn two wall and had the same result. Kelly Brewer won the heat
and Alex Bachtell was second. The second heat went smoother and
points leader Kevin Brewer took first with David Cummins, Mike
Evans, and Rick Quinn rounding out the field. Six cars started the
feature and a broken part took out Kevin Brewer. A little later
engine trouble took out Kelly Brewer. Some controversy on the next
few laps when Mike Evans spun into the infield and caused a caution
but it was charged to David Cummins. When David Cummins hit the wall
and caused another stoppage he was sent off the track on the two
caution rule. Mike Evans spun in front of Alex Bachtell and they got
together damaging Evans car and that left Bachtell and Quinn to
finish the race. They battled for the rest of the feature and Rick
Quinn came out on top.
Kevin Brewer wins third in a row at
Mid-America
On a night when thunder, lightning and rain
threatened all around the racing Gods kept us dry all evening. With
cooler temperatures the racing was good all night. In the first heat
Kevin Brewer worked his way to the front with Kelly Brewer second
and David Cummins, Tyler Bachtell, and Mark Hass finishing out the
field. The second heat was won by Alex Bachtell with Mike Evans,
Rick Cochran, Rick Quinn, and Doug March second thru fifth. Brewer
made his way to the front in the feature with A. Bachtell in hot
pursuit but when they cleared traffic Bachtell could not make up the
six car length lead Brewer had and they stayed that way the rest of
the race. Crossing the checkered behind them was R. Cochran, T.
Bachtell, D. March, D. Cummins, Kelly Brewer, R. Quinn, M. Hass, and
M. Evans. Due to a track closing and another track dropping a race
off their schedule we will be off until 8/21/10 at West Siloam
Speedway.

by defending series champ Kevin Brewer followed by points leader
Mike Evans, Alex Bachtell, Kelly Brewer, Mark Hass and Kenny Gariss.
The second heat was won by Rick Cochran followed by Rick Quinn,
David Cummins, Tyler Bachtell, Kent Kantor and Doug March. The
feature was run with two cautions for spin outs but nothing was torn
up. Kevin Brewer had the early lead with T. Bachtell in pursuit. T.
Bachtell was able to use the high line to take the front position
and held it until about lap 15 when a spin brought out a caution. On
the restart Brewer and A. Bachtell were able to go around with A.
Bachtell took the lead and never looked back. T. Bachtell was able
to get back around Brewer then the last caution flew. On the restart
T. Bachtell’s car blubbered a little and R. Cochran and D. Cummins
were able to move into second and third with T. Bachtell , Quinn,

COCHRAN TAKES SWEEP AT CREEK COUNTY
ON THE FOURTH RACE OF THE YEAR WE HAD THE
FOURTH FEATURE WINNER. RICK COCHRAN SWEPT THE NIGHT WITH A SECOND
HEAT AND FEATURE WIN. IN THE FIRST HEAT DEFENDING SERIES CHAMP KEVIN
BREWER SLIPPED THROUGH THE FIELD TO TAKE THE WIN WITH MIKE EVANS,
DOUG MARCH, KENNY GARISS AND A. BACHTELL HAVING IGNITION PROBLEMS ON
THE PACE LAP AND RETIRING TO THE INFIELD. IN THE SECOND HEAT EARLY
LEADER T. BACHTELL GOT UP IN THE MARBLES AND BRUSHED THE WALL COMING
OUT OF TWO WHICH LET COCHRAN TAKE THE LEAD AND WIN HIS SECOND HEAT
OF THE YEAR. ROUNDING OUT THE FIELD WAS T. BACHTELL, DAVID CUMMINS,
KELLY BREWER, AND RICK QUINN.
IN THE 20 LAP FEATURE COCHRAN KEVIN BREWER AND
A. BACHTELL PUT A LITTLE DISTANCE ON THE PACK AND IT LOOKED TO BE A
GOOD BATTLE FOR THE FRONT POSITION BUT BACHTELL WENT A LITTLE HIGH
BETWEEN ONE AND TWO AND SPUN IN FRONT OF THE PACK. EVERYBODY AVOIDED
HIM AND THE FIRST CAUTION CAME OUT. WITH A. BACHTELL BACK ON THE
REAR OF THE FIELD IT LOOKED LIKE COCHRAN AND BREWER WOULD BE THE
ONES TO BEAT. BREWER GOT AROUND COCHRAN ON ABOUT LAP SIX AND LOOKED
UNBEATABLE UNTIL A BOLT BROKE ON HIS FRONT END FOR THE SECOND RACE
IN A ROW. COCHRAN LED THE REST OF THE WAY WITH A. BACHTELL COMING
BACK TO WITHIN ABOUT A CAR LENGTH BACK AT THE CHECKERED FLAG.
Alex Bachtell takes feature win at West Siloam Speedway
Race three on the OKDCR schedule brought about
the same result, three races-three feature winners. West Siloam
Speedway welcomed the dwarf cars for the first time and the people
couldn’t have been any nicer and more accommodating. Only eight cars
showed up but the racing was tight and fast. The first heat had
Kelly Brewer on the pole and Mike Evans outside and David Cummins
and Mark Hass in the second row. Brewer took the early lead and held
off Evans for the win. The second heat had Rick Quinn on the pole
with Alex Bachtell on the outside with Kevin Brewer and Tyler
Bachtell behind them. By lap 2 A. Bachtell had the lead with Brewer
breathing on his bumper. The two cars ran side by side from lap
three all the way to the checkered flag with Brewer nosing Bachtell
by a couple of feet. This was by far the best race of the night. The
feature turned into a battle of attrition with A. Bachtell taking
the win. The rough track surface was hard on the little cars but we
had a blast and OKDCR wants to thank the promoters and the racers at
West Siloam for a great night.
Kevin Brewer takes sweep at second
race of the year.
The Oklahoma dwarf cars ran their second race
this year at Will Rogers Raceway on April 30, 2010. On a very heavy
wet track last years series champion Kevin Brewer won his heat and
the feature to sweep the event. Last weeks feature winner Tyler
Bachtell won the first heat by about a straightaway when his dad
Alex tried to get below him coming out of turn two and ended up in
the very muddy infield. The second heat was a tight battle at the
front for a few laps then Kevin Brewer passed Rick Cochran for the
lead and never looked back. In the feature Brewer sat on the pole
and was not seriously challenged but the action behind him was a
pretty good show. On lap 8 David Cummins spun in front of four cars
and when the track was cleared Alex Bachtell and Kent Kantor were
unable to finish. Along with the two cars that were unable to start
the main event due to mechanical problems only six cars finished the
feature. The track was not perfect but we all had a good time on the
fifth mile high bank track.
