Tyler Carpenter Wins 3rd Annual Keith Barker Memorial presented by Las Trancas Mexican Restaurant at Ohio Valley Speedway

It was another edition of Friday Night Lights at the Ohio Valley Speedway this past week but this one was a little more special as a great friend to many was paid tribute to with the running of the 3rd Annual Keith Barker Memorial presented by Las Trancas Mexican Restaurant. An excellent night of action and a great field of cars would see Tyler Carpenter, Coleman Evans, Cole Perine, Mike Tennant, Blake Tasker and Mack Brookover all notch wins, champions trophies and the traditional Keith Barker ‘Hat’.

In the evenings main attraction it was Parkersburg, WV’s Tyler Carpenter utilizing an early race restart and superb slide job on early leader Ryan Montgomery to grab the lead and race off to the checkered. Picking up his second consecutive Barker Memorial the ‘Kamikaze Kid’ would be followed across the line by Ryan Montgomery, Jacob Hawkins, Colten Burdette and Ronnie Mayle. Jacob Hawkins would set fast time with Ryan Montgomery grabbing the ‘Dash’ with Zach Hill and Ed Shuman picking up heat race wins.

A terrific UMP Modified feature would see great racing throughout the field but at the checkered it was once again Mineral Wells, WV’s Coleman Evans putting the Evans Construction #17c in victory lane. It would be Evans 7th win in the competitive division and following Evans across the stripe was a game Jason Brookover, Chad Roush, Kenny Johnson and Travis Dickson.

An exciting Pike Street Lanes Sportmod feature it would be Cole Perine picking up the win subbing for Nathan Drake in the #89 machine. Perine would hold off top runner Lucas Weppler to notch his first win of the season. Following Perine and Weppler across the line was Nick Parsons, current point leader Toby Wilson and Mike Smith.

It’s always great to see a new winner and that’s exactly what the Bill’s Auto Salvage 4 Cylinder division produced Friday Night. It was Parkersburg, WV’s Mike Tennant grabbing his first ever feature win aboard the T22 machine. The popular victory would see Tennant lead Josh Ayers, Jeff Rankin, Brandon Adkins and Kasey Rankin to the pay window.

Kicking off the evening would be the Mike’s Auto Body WRA Mini Wedges and grabbing the win in the Young Gun class was Blake Tasker. Following Tasker was 2021 point leader Logan Perine, Joey Miller, Walker Slayton and Farrah Bailey. In the Mike’s Auto Body WRA Veteran class it was all Mack Brookover picking up his 5th win of the season over James Bailey, Isaac McLeish, Colin Knox and Preston Heckert.
