Vallo In Winning Form at Kil-Kare by Jerry Wahl Xenia, OH. (4/28) - After three straight weeks of rain-outs, Kil-Kare Speedway finally got the season underway Friday night and it was none other than seasoned driver John Vallo of Fairborn taking the NASCAR Dodge Weekly Series Late Model feature sponsored by Langs Chevrolet/Mazda of Beavercreek. With a four position inversion for the 30 lap feature fourth fast qualifier Vallo would have started on the inside of the second row however polesetter Tim Allensworth failed to make the call for the feature thus this put Vallo in the number one starting slot third fast timer Ricky Bates alongside. When starter Mike Stapleton dropped the green flag Vallo took command and never looked back as he held the front spot to claim his two hundred and ninety one career win. Bates wasn't far behind Vallo all the way as he claimed runner-up honors while fast timer Tony Brunke was third with Bill Burba fourth and Ryan Dunlevy, making his late model debut was fifth.
