Crane headlines 'Cheaters Night' at 24 Raceway
Moberly, MO - October 02, 2006

24 Raceway in Moberly PR


A very nice Saturday night, September 30th, at 24 Raceway, saw the
racing action wrap up the 2006 season with some solid performances on
what has come to be known as "Cheater's Night" in Moberly, Missouri.

A GREAT 2-car race was the main show in the A-modified class. Danny
Crane rode the back end of Mike Hoover's car for the 1st 7 laps, but
got around him to lead the last 13 for his 1st win at 24 Raceway
after a couple of seasons away. In the Moberly Motors B-modifieds,
Kelly Smith had one fine September showing at the track, adding this
night's feature win for a total of 4 out of 5 possible feature wins
for the month! Jeff Creed, in a hard-fought battle with early leader
Dave Bentlage, came on to win in the Sportsman class over Bentlage in
some great side by side competition. Alan Hultz led most of the laps
in both the heat and feature for the Hobby Stock win, and John Brown,
in a new car, got the Hornet win with Rob Chase pulling off a good
squeeze move at the line for second place in one great race!

This was it for the season at 24 Raceway, and the staff and
management would like to thank all of the fans who came out during
the year to watch these drivers put on great quality racing. And a
special Thanks to all of the drivers, car owners and their respective
crews, for taking part and bringing such a competative, positive
atmosphere to Moberly, Missouri. We'll see you at the January Awards
Banquet at the Municiple Auditorium in downtown Moberly, for some
trophies, food & beverage and live music later. Watch the website of
