Wayne County

I didn't really have time to delve into that.

Wayne County Speedway over the weekend.

Friday night, Ryan Markham getting the win in the UMP late models.

Finally getting the mojo from being on the show a few weeks ago.

Brad Goff, UMP modified winner.

Rocky Kugel getting the win in the Super Stocks.

And Gage Cropper, your Sport Compact winner at Wayne County.

Fremont Speedway, they hosted the Ash Automotive 500 Lap Enduro, which...

Let's go up to a denser planting up here of naturally planted goldenrod.

All you beekeepers in my home state of Alabama go on these walks, and even though I don't think there's been a venomous snake here in Wayne County, Ohio in 75 to 100 years, I always think, "Well, keep an eye out for you know what." My grandmother would always say, "Now, you boys watch out for snakes out there." And on occasion, as you know, they were out there.

I haven't seen a snake in the wild in years.

This sounds like famous last words, doesn't it? I'm out here in a planting.

And, you know, hopefully they would look at me as someone that they can respect and did a really great job.

You know, I'm proud that we've been able to bring home more than $50 million for critical infrastructure and police and fire back to the seventh, even two new fire stations down in Wayne County, which is awesome.

We've been able to return more than $25 million, you know, of money from the IRS to our constituents.

You know, those are the things, you know, that I want people to remember us for.

We were very grateful.

We

were very grateful and we had a benefactor come in and donate $100,000 to the Wayne County

Career

And we are looking at doing it again.

We are looking to go back to Wayne County on Friday.

That's right, Friday night.

They are offering a promotion to where it is free to get into the track.

They will have Saturday the IMCA 305 Sprints.

They will have the 602 Modifieds, the Mini Stocks, the Open Modifieds, the Rush Wingless Sprints, the UMP Mods, the Rush Stock Cars, and the Crown Vicks.

So... super cool stuff coming from mercer and wayne county as they close out their season obviously um as a 410 guy saturday i am gonna be at wayne county but With Friday being open, and technically it's a battle right now.

I've got to go check the weather.

I'm really excited to have her with us.

Her name is Shannon Carter, and she's the executive director of Wayne County Tourism Bureau in Ohio.

Shannon, thank you for joining me today.

Thank you for having me, Adam.

Yeah.

Uh, I would agree a hundred percent.

We actually in Wayne County are, just redid our website for a very, um, pointed reason that you gave in that we were trying to be the vehicle for all people, and we know for a fact we can't be that.

We're a small D- DMO, so therefore, where is our mission best aligned and where are we best served? So we took our giant website that we had made and kind of brought it back local.

Things will have music and kind of a festive environment.

We're actually going to be going up to the Wayne County.

fair here on Saturday up there in Worcester Worcester Ohio my hometown and uh Laura's hometown so we're excited to go up there for that and uh that's where we grew up northeast Ohio you know Worcester's great town College of Worcester there uh the Fighting Scots um hold on one second trying to do something here again before I get into this whole conversation about the brownies um and how we're so excited about Sunday.

I just, it's just been one of those things where, you know, I've been a fan like many of you for, I'm going on 45 plus years, probably 50 years of being a Browns fan.

Definitely was not expecting to get to 20 with the way the weather has been, but super stoked.

And there's also a chance for 30, 31, 32-ish races, so... we're hovering right about that uh awesome mark for year one of the show um but let's get into it race 20 was at the beloved wayne county speedway i will always refer to it from now on as the county it is definitely in my top three of tracks and definitely not three um you're not supposed to play favorites i know it's bad presentation and you got to be fair for everyone but It is so hard not to go to that racetrack and love it so much more each time, whether your favorite driver wrecks or one of the up-and-coming newcomers wrecks in qualifying.

The track was just packed.

There was just enough of a breeze to give it that crisp fall, I'm coming for you type vibes.

So first and foremost, shout out to the winner, Trey.

The truth, Jacobs, his first all-star win.

And what a win that is being at Wayne County.

track he grew up running as well as being, um, a family crown jewel.

Ryan Oakley, he won the compact feature and the championship at Oak Jade.

Wayne County on Saturday.

A lot of racing going on.

Henry Malkut getting the 410 sprint win.

Yeah.

Kind of sucks.

And then, of course, the big news, kind of what we've alluded to, Wayne County Speedway released a statement Tuesday afternoon after an investigation into an on-track incident involving Kyle Moore and Brandon Morrow.

And this has been, I'm sure a lot of people have heard about this already, but if you haven't, apparently some bad things happened Saturday.
