   The first night of the Fast Four racing program at NAPA Jani Auto Parts Wayne County Speedway would see Wooster's Danny Mumaw take the lead on lap 6 of the Pine Tree Towing & Recovery Sprint feature and get to the finish line first for his win while Cody Scott of Ontario fended off several challenges to post his first win ever at WCS in the Kar Connection Super Late Model feature while Mansfield's Bob Daugherty would do the same in the CorBon Super Stock main event and Brad Hensel of Smithville quickly grabbed the lead from his third starting position to grab the checkers in the WQKT 104.5 Mini Stock feature.

   With rain and cold temps knocking out last weeks races, NAPA Jani Auto Parts Wayne County Speedway is ready to get back on track with the Fast Four Racing program as the Pine Tree Towing & Recovery Sprints, the Kar Connection Super Late Models, the CorBon Super Stocks along with the WQKT 104.5 Mini Stocks will be hitting on all cylinders Saturday, May 5th.

   Although it's the first points race for the Pine Tree Towing & Recovery Sprints, many of the drivers competed in the All Star Circuit of Champions two weeks ago as Mitch Harble was the regular driver from WCS to have the best finish at 17th.

   Ryan Markham scored the first points win two weeks ago for the Kar Connection Super Late Models and has the points lead going into the second night of action. Franklin Pa.'s Matt Lux was second and J R Gentry was third.

   For the CorBon Super Stocks and the WQKT 104.5 Mini Stocks, it will be their first action on the newly resurfaced 3/8 mile oval of 'Orrville's Historic Oval.' Bob Daugherty (Super Stocks) and Cory Staley (Mini Stocks) were the 2017 track champions.

  With very unseasonable weather this spring, and with cold and snow/rain chances forecasted for the early part of the week and the soggy conditions of the grounds at NAPA Wayne County Speedway, promoters Jason and Kristin Flory have decided to pull the plug on Saturday's season opener which would have included the Pine Tree Towing & Recovery Sprints, the Kar Connection Super Late Models, the CorBon Super Stocks and the WQKT 104.5 Mini Stocks. Instead, there will be an Open Practice Saturday, from 1 pm to 5 pm with a $10 charge for the pits and free grandstand admission. Everyone that comes to the practice is asked NOT to park or drive in the grassy part of the parking lot with it still likely to be very muddy and soft.

   The season opener will now be on Saturday, April 21st with Tony Stewart's Arctic Cat All Star Circuit of Champions presented by Mobil 1. and the Kar Connection Super Late Models. Twenty drivers have signed up to follow the Ascoc tour this year plus the NAPA WCS regulars and others will make for another exciting night at 'Orrville's Historic Oval'. Last season the All Stars made 5 trips to NAPA Wayne County Speedway with 5 different winners that included Sheldon Haudenschild, Kyle Larson, Joey Saldana, Caleb Helms and Christopher Bell. It will be the first of four visits this season for the All Stars with Saturday, May 26th, Monday, June 18th for the Speedweek show and the Duffy Smith Memorial and then Sunday, September 2nd, $10,000 to win Pete Jacobs Memorial.
