Ohio driver grabs first win at Berlin Raceway during second Supermodified night
MARNE — In the second half of the third annual ISMA/MSS Great Lakes Classic at Berlin Raceway, a patient driver who bought his time was rewarded.
After a decent finish in the first night of action, Mike McVetta needed a late-race maneuver to get out in front and snag the win to cap off the Supermodified weekend.
Similar to what happened in the 40-lap feature on Friday night, there were a couple of incidents early on in the 60-lap main event on Saturday. Another malfunction with Tyler Shullick, who was the fast qualifier for the second night in a row, came just a few laps in.. Then, just a couple of laps after the green flag dropped again, Rich Reid spun out coming out of Turn 4.
As a rhythm came to fruition for the remainder of the race, the attention was turned toward the battle for the lead, as Otto Sitterly, who didn’t even finish the race on Friday night, was in front of McVetta for most of the feature. Sitterly started on pole, and stayed in first place, with the No. 22 of McVetta right behind him. A caution on Lap 31 gave McVetta a chance to get around Sitterly, and though the driver out of Medina, Ohio fell behind briefly, McVetta would get around Sitterly with 17 laps to go, and would go on to cruise for his first win at Berlin in his career, doing so by nearly half a lap.
McVetta, who finished eighth in Friday night’s race. has been coming to Berlin for years, both in supermodifieds and winged sprint cars, but has never touched victory lane following a feature.

“I’m speechless,” McVetta said in victory lane. “We’ve been so good here, just had no results to show for it, but we finally put it together. The driver drove the full race without hitting anything…I saw that it was 18 [laps] to go when I got the lead. I just hoped the tires would last that long, and they sure did.”
McVetta’s father, Roger, was emotional following the win. Mike admitted that his work in the supermodified is a family deal, and that it means a little more winning with his dad working with his crew.
“My dad got me started in quarter-midgets at [age] nine. Here we are winning supermodified races. My father-in-law is my tire guy, and they were staggered special tonight perfect.”
BUSH DOMINATES THE SUPERS
In the TEKTON Super Late Model’s return to the track, it was one of Berlin’s top veterans who stole the show. Hasting’s own Joe Bush set the tone by setting the tone as the night’s fast qualifier. Then, he went out and beat Andrew Scheid with just a few laps to steal the victory in the first 35-lap race, his first checkered flag of the season. In the second race, he jumped out in front after an early caution, and won in a landslide, making him the first driver this season to sweep a double feature this season.
BOUMA AND SIMPSON BATTLE AGAIN
The Auto Value 4-Cylinders saw a great battle cap off their night of action, featuring the two drivers duking it out for the championship.
Luke Bouma and Dave Simpson had a great finish during last Saturday’s slate of action, with Simpson getting the better of the younger Bouma. However, the two speed demons battled early on in the second feature on this night, with Bouma getting the early edge. Though there was a caution with just a few laps to go, Bouma sped ahead of Simpson to grab his series-leading fifth win of the season.
Nathan McNabb won the first feature of the night, giving him two wins in 2024.
LOOKING AHEAD
Next week has a whole mix of series running in Berlin. The Model Coverall Limited Late Models lead a show featuring the return of the MCR Dwarf Cars, the National Compact Touring Series, the VROA Vintage Modifieds and Good Humor Mini-Wedges.
Racing begins at 6:30 p.m. ET on Saturday, and can be streamed on FloRacing.

Meta data centers in New Albany to be among world’s largest
Meta data centers in New Albany to be among world’s largest
Ohioans won’t be voting on whether to ban data centers on the November ballot.
Conserve Ohio, the group working to block most data centers, announced that it would not submit the more than 413,000 signatures needed to make the fall ballot by the July 1 deadline.
But the data center opponents aren’t giving up on a constitutional amendment. They are now targeting the 2027 ballot.
“We want to make it clear: we will not be stopping. Construction won’t be stopping, so signature gathering and community action will not be stopping,” according to a Conserve Ohio statement.
The group’s decision comes after Ohio lawmakers failed to pass legislation to rein in data centers before a months-long break. Lawmakers disagreed on whether to reduce tax breaks for data centers or eliminate them entirely.
The debate over data centers in Ohio has created strange political bedfellows. Environmentalists and rural voters often oppose them, while business groups and labor unions are backing them.

Richland County is great for fishing
Some of Ohio’s best fishing opportunities are in Richland County.
Anglers can find strong opportunities for bass, crappie and catfish across central Ohio lakes this summer, according to a community announcement from the Ohio Department of Natural Resources Division of Wildlife.
The agency highlighted several reservoirs and lakes where fish populations remain robust and accessible, while also noting the relatively low cost of fishing in the state and the availability of free fishing promotions.
Ohio residents can purchase a one-year fishing license for $25, while youth younger than 16 do not need a license. The state also offers designated Free Fishing Days during which residents can fish without purchasing a license, though size and daily limits still apply.
Lakes across region offer diverse fishing opportunities
Central Ohio’s waterways, including reservoirs, inland lakes and streams, support a range of species such as hybrid-striped bass, crappie, black bass and catfish, according to the announcement.
Griggs Reservoir in Franklin County stands out for hybrid-striped bass, which are known for aggressive strikes and strong fights. Anglers often find success watching for birds diving on baitfish near the surface, which can signal feeding schools below. Fish exceeding 20 inches are regularly caught at the reservoir. Effective techniques include using swimbaits, rattle traps and topwater lures. The daily catch limit for hybrid-striped bass is 30 fish, with no more than four exceeding 15 inches.
Crappie fishing remains strong at Deer Creek Lake, spanning Fayette and Pickaway counties. Fisheries surveys conducted in fall 2025 identified numerous large fish. Anglers are encouraged to target submerged brush or trees, or to troll small crankbaits to cover more water.
Buckeye Lake, which touches Fairfield, Licking and Perry counties, also offers consistent crappie fishing. The lake contains both white and black crappie, with strong habitat areas such as submerged woody cover around Cranberry Bog. Public access is available through multiple boat ramps and shoreline sites.
The daily limit at both Deer Creek and Buckeye Lake is 30 crappie with a minimum length requirement of 9 inches.
Bass and catfish destinations draw anglers
Alum Creek Lake in Delaware County continues to produce largemouth and smallmouth bass in high numbers and sizes, according to the announcement. Tournament catches with five-fish totals nearing 20 pounds have been recorded.
Largemouth bass are commonly found near weed beds in shallow water, typically between 3 and 10 feet deep. Smallmouth bass are more often located near rocky areas and offshore points. The reservoir has a daily limit of five bass with a minimum length of 12 inches.
Hoover Reservoir, located in Delaware and Franklin counties, remains a key location for catfish anglers, according to the community announcement. Blue catfish stocked in 2011 have grown significantly, with some approaching 50 pounds. Anglers targeting these fish often use cut bait, especially in the northern portion of the reservoir during warmer months. The daily limit allows one blue catfish measuring at least 35 inches, with no limit on smaller fish.
The reservoir also features multiple boat launches and restrictions on motor horsepower, capped at 10 horsepower for outboard motors.
Resources and recognition programs available
The Division of Wildlife offers tools such as lake maps, fishing tips and forecasts to assist anglers, according to the announcement. These resources can be accessed through the HuntFish OH mobile app or on the agency’s website at wildohio.gov.
The agency also promotes its Fish Ohio program, which recognizes anglers who catch trophy-sized fish across 26 species. Qualifying participants receive a commemorative pin for their first entry and can earn a Master Angler pin by catching four different qualifying species within a year.
This year’s commemorative pin features a channel catfish.
