Sharon Speedway 7-23-05
Twenty-one Sprints signed in at Sharon tonight. 7/23/05 The Sprints were scheduled to be first out for their heats. The first heat was won by the #49 of Jack Sodoman Jr. who started outside pole. EdJr. was in the second heat and supposed to start 3rd, but the pole-sitter #51 pulled into the in- field just before going green. That allowed EdJr. to move into pole position for the start of the race. Starting outside of EdJr. was the #47 of Jarod Larson. Ed and Jarod pulled away from the field almost immediately with Jarod leading the way. On lap 5, EdJr. made his move to pass the #47 in turn 4 on the bottom and went on to win the 8 lap heat race by a large margin. The 25 lap feature showed EdJr. starting 10th. Only 4 laps were completed when the first caution came out for the #33P. EdJr. had made his way up to 6th. The #5K of Mike Kekich, who started on the pole, led those first 4 laps but was forced to pull off the track during that caution due to a flat tire. The new leader was the #53 of Harshman, who started outside pole. Racing resumed for 4 more laps when the leader flipped hard on the backstretch after hitting the wall. Harshman was uninjured and racing resumed once again with the #15m of Jamie Martin as the new leader. The #49 of Sodoman was second and EdJr. was a solid third. Although another red flag stopped the race on lap 18 for the #60 of Keegan, EdJr. was unable to pass Sodoman when racing was underway and had to settle for a 3rd place finish. In the post-race inspection it was discovered that the #15m of Jamie Martin didn't have mufflers but the shit was awarded the win anyway.

Again, EdJr took the lead and was pulling away from Lutz when Mike Shearer spun on lap 8 in turn 2. With one last caution on lap 14 for Charlie Holben, Ed went on to win his 3rd feature at Lernerville this season.

Sharon Speedway - 7/30/05
Despite turning the fastest lap (98.011mph) of all the Sprint cars during the night on Saturday at Sharon Speedway, EdJr put forth lots of effort in the 25-lap feature, but fell short of a win by .062 seconds. "My car was a little tight and I had trouble keeping the front wheels on the track," EdJr explained after the race. "We had the fans on their feet for those last laps." For the second time this year, Sharon's surface was near perfect for the heat races and they were finished in record time. However, it was a surprise to everyone, especially the Sprint car drivers who were buckled in their cars, ready to push off for their feature, when the water truck started making passes around the track. They got out of their cars and sat on the guardrail watching in disbelief. Push trucks then had to make many laps to run the track in and finally the Sprints themselves had to help run the track in, also making many laps before lining up for the green flag. Once again, Mike Kekich was on the pole with Skip Dougherty outside, while Brent Matus and Jack Sodeman, Jr. were in row two. Scott Bonnell was originally slated to start fourth, but discovered a throttle-linkage problem while running the track in and went to the pits, then returned to the push-off area in time, but he was left sitting at the gate and the race was started without him. Thus, moving Sodeman up one row. EdJr started fifth with Jody Keegan outside him in row three at the start, but it was Kekich who jumped out to an early lead. As was the case in the heats, the outside groove seemed fastest and Sodeman wasted no time in taking off in that lane, passing Kekich quickly to take the lead. Meanwhile, EdJr was inside Kekich going for second when the red came out on lap seven for a flip by Larry Lamey in turn one. Because of the numerous laps run prior to the initial green, the officials had to call for a fuel stop at this point. When the green replaced the red, EdJr went after Kekich on the inside and the two ran side-by-side, treating the fans to a real Sprint car duel. It wasn't until after a yellow for debris on the track on lap 17 that EdJr was able to put Kekich behind him and set his sights on Sodeman. The trouble was that Sodeman was lightning fast once the track was clear in front of him. Sodeman stayed high for a while, but EdJr was gaining on him on the inside lap after lap, giving the fans their money's worth of great Sprint car racing right down to the wire. Behind Sodeman and EdJr, it was Jarod Larson, Kevin Schaeffer, Keegan and Kekich, who faded to seventh. Then Mike Lutz and Andy McKisson and Matus ranked in the top 10 of the l8 cars on hand. EdJr won the first heat after starting third, then came Larson, Sodeman and Matus. From the pole in the second heat, Kekich took the other heat over Lutz, Keegan and Schaeffer.
