Congratulations to Tom Thomas for fending off a very competitive field of Outlaw Late Models at Berlin Raceway on May 5, marking his first win of the season.  The former track champion lead the final 10 laps, and held the lead despite a late charge by Terry Senneker, treating fans who endured a rainy race day to great display of short track racing at its best.

Terry Senneker won the Gold Cup 100-lap outlaw Late Model race at Toledo Speedway on Sunday, April 29.  This is his second 100-lap win already this season, including the 100-lap season opener at Berlin Raceway.  Both races featured very competitive fields.  Senneker's win at Toledo furthers his repuration as one of the best outlaw late model drivers in the Midwest.  Congratulations to Terry and the Zent Motorsports crew!

Baker powered Outlaws also put on a great show in the 150 lap Outlaw event at the Klash, one of the highlight events in Michigan circle track racing, leading the field in qualifying 1st, 2nd and 3rd.  Leading the 42 car all-star line-up was Terry Senneker with a lap of 12.296 seconds at over 109 mph.  Tom Thomas qualified right behind Senneker with Trent Hellinga rounding out the top three.  At the 100 lap point, Baker engines took the first 5 spots, but lost ground to the competitive field when they hit the track for the last 50 laps.  Senneker went on to finish 6th, followed by Tom Thomas.  Sennekers teammate Steve Needles finished second.
