Kaley Gharst Blazes the Field at O’Reilly Midwest

5/9/2009 - Camargo, IL (5-9-09) by Kelly Brown - Public Relations Director – From the moment Kaley Gharst put a wheel on Lawrenceburg Speedway on Saturday night, it was as if his 51 Webb 410 winged sprint car was on auto-pilot. The young talent drove a flawless race which saw him score his second O’Reilly Midwest All Star victory.

Starting beside Gharst on the front row was Ronnie Blair, but before the field could take the Green Flag the 71 of Paul May pulled off the course with a left flat tire. He was able to start the feature at the back of the field. When the Green Flag was unfurled, Gharst got the early advantage and ran away from the field in a rampage, with Blair in tow.

The first caution period came out midway through the event as Tiffany Wyzard’s 5w sprinter encountered engine troubles. Almost simultaneously Paul May encountered his second flat tire of the night as his right tire lost pressure; once again he was able to continue on.

When the race commenced, Gharst sprinted out in front of the field and continued to put cars a lap down left and right. The racing action would come to a halt again on Lap 21 when Danny Smith brought out the Red Flag.
