Travis Eddy carrying on family's winning tradition at Berlin Raceway, other tracks
Travis Eddy carrying on family's winning tradition at Berlin Raceway, other tracks

The Grand Rapids Press
MARNE -- Ever since Travis Eddy was 6 years old, he can recall helping out around his father’s garage as the family worked on the latest racing vehicle.
The Midland native now hopes a little of the family fortune rubs off on him.
Travis’s father, Mike Eddy, was a standout on the now-defunct American Speed Association circuit, having won numerous races in addition to seven ASA championships over a career that spanned four decades.
“I’ve been around racing my whole life ever since I was a little kid. Naturally I’ve wanted to race since I was little,” Travis said before Saturday’s USA Modifieds race at Berlin Raceway.
“I can remember when the racecar got back (following the night’s racing) I’d clean out the rubber from underneath it and start cleaning the body. As I got older I learned to do more stuff and help out.”
Eddy competed in the 50-lap USA Modified race and finished fifth, but he was bumped up to fourth when Holland driver Mike Bursley, who originally was first across the finish line, was disqualified due to an infraction on his car.
Eddy already has three wins in six races this year, including a win at Berlin on May 1 in the new Modifieds category, which is not related to the USA Modified circuit.
Eddy has matched his win total of 2007 in just the first month of racing. He won six races in 2008 and 10 races (out of 38 starts) in 2009.
“Every year I keep learning more and more from my dad,” Eddy said. “I have a fast learning curve racing. I’d like to move up in racing and I would do it any time I had the chance, but right now we just have the finances to do modifieds.”
In the USA Modified race, Kyle Jones (Germantown, Ohio) was declared the winner following Bursley’s disqualification. Jones was the leader until six laps remained in the race, when Bursley took command. Jones finished in second before the postrace inspection.
In a bittersweet 4-cylinder A feature, Muskegon resident Ryan Hamm and his brother Kyle took first and third, respectively.
Ryan, who lost his 6-month old daughter Ashlynn Elizabeth last June due to illnesses after she was born prematurely, and Kyle mourned the loss of their mother, Stephanie Gross. She passed away Thursday at age 50 due to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.

Muskegon's Ryan Hamm wins at Berlin Raceway in memory of mom and daughter
Muskegon's Ryan Hamm wins at Berlin Raceway in memory of mom and daughter

MARNE -- Ryan Hamm charged across the finish line to the roar of the crowd, taking the checkered flag.
If it were possible for Hamm to look up into the sky, he might have signaled a thank you to his mother. Instead, he and his brother Kyle enjoyed a bittersweet celebration in Berlin Raceway’s Victory Lane on Saturday night after Ryan won the the 4-Cylinder A race and Kyle finished third.
The Hamms, who live in the Muskegon area, had just experienced another family tragedy. Their mother, Stephanie Gross, died this week after a five-year battle with Lou Gehrig’s disease. Last June, Ryan's 6-month-old daughter, Ashlynn, died from complications after being born three months premature.
“She was 50 years old and put up an awesome fight before dying Thursday," Ryan said of their mother. "She just couldn’t hold on anymore. It was really close to my daughter’s death by a year.”
Gross' last appearance at the track was early in the 2009 season.
The Hamms said taking the weekend off from racing was not an option.
“She wouldn’t want anything different. She was a big fan of racing and she supported us 100 percent,” Kyle said.
“With her disease progressing, she wasn’t able to get out here, but the last time she was out here was special for us. So far, it’s been a really good season.”
Ryan added: “I knew our car was good in practice today. My brother’s car and mine are close to being identical, and my old man (Jamie Hamm) has put an awful lot of work into them.
"When I was first across the line, I couldn’t even see straight. I couldn’t explain it. It was awesome.”
Both cars have the words “In loving memory of our baby girl Ashlynn Elizabeth” on the rear left and right sides. In addition, the word “Mom” is handpainted inside a heart on the passenger side of each vehicle, facing the stands.
In the first 4-Cylinder race of the season, Kyle finished second and Ryan was third.

Jason Meyers races to second consecutive World of Outlaws win at I-96 Speedway
Jason Meyers races to second consecutive World of Outlaws win at I-96 Speedway

LAKE ODESSA -- World Of Outlaws standout Jason Meyers is tough to beat just about everywhere he races, but when it comes to the I-96 Speedway, he is unbeatable.
Meyers won Saturday night’s 30-lap feature race before nearly 6,000 fans at the dirt half-mile, giving him his second consecutive win at I-96. He took top honors when the circuit visited I-96 a year ago.
Meyers took over the lead with six laps to go when leader Danny Lasoski went over the backstretch. Meyers then held off Craig Dolansky and Jason Sides for his series-high sixth win of the season and $10,000.
“This place has been really good to us,” said Meyers, a native of Clovis, Calif. “To have a great crowd like we had here tonight, and it was a great race track and we had a couple of grooves.
“I wasn’t very good on my restarts, but I finally got it figured out right there at the end. I had a great race car again tonight. There are so many people who make this happen.”
Racing was delayed for about 45 minutes after a bird flew into the first-turn lights and caused them to blow out. Portable backup lights were hauled in and set up on the inner part of the track so racing could resume.
The Outlaws were making its only Michigan appearance of the season, and 34 cars qualified. Joey Saldana set fast time and the track record with a lap of 14.83 seconds at 121.343 mph, breaking Steve Kinser's mark of 15.09 seconds from 2008.
Heat winners were Kraig Kinser, Jac Haudenschild, Donny Schatz and Jason Sides.
