 ORRVILLE,
OH (June 26, 2005) -- Brian Ruhlman captured Sunday's $3,000-to-win feature
race at Wayne County Speedway using a pair of Hoosier discontinued late model
tires. The win was part of the three-race Triple Thunder Sizzler Series at the
speedway. Ruhlman is a multi-time champion late model driver with many trophies
from Eldora Speedway, Oakshade Raceway and ALMS to his credit.
Bart Hartman was fast qualifier around the 3/8-mile dirt oval circling the
track in 18.747 seconds. Hartman used a pair of Hoosier 1350's (11.0/90.0-15 LR
& 11.0/92.0-15 RR) to accomplish the feat. Hartman's time was nearly
4/10ths of a second faster than his next closest competitor. Hartman and Steve
Casebolt each won a heat race using the Hoosier brand.
In the feature race, Brian Ruhlman led wire-to-wire to collect the top
prize. The Clarklake, MI driver used a Hoosier 28.5/11.0-15 *D55* left rear and
a 29.0/11.0-15 C2000 D55 right rear tire to capture the win. As of this
writing, both tires are currently available for sale on the Hoosier website
