Williams Grove Speedway

LAWRENCE CHEVROLET TO SPONSOR WILLIAMS GROVE SPRINT DIVISION MECHANICSBSURG, PA -- Lawrence Chevrolet is the new title sponsor of the sprint car division at Williams Grove Speedway for 2010. Thanks to Lawrence Chevrolet the championship team will collect $20,000 at season’s end. Lawrence Chevrolet, located at 6445 Carlisle Pike, Mechanicsburg, has been serving the mid-state area for 29 years and has been associated with local dirt track racing for almost as long. The Lawrence family was involved with the now defunct Silver Spring Speedway and the sportsman division in various capacities, but this is their first foray into sprint car sponsorship at Williams Grove. “I’ve been attending the races at Williams Grove for many years and it seems like a good fit for our dealership to be associated with the area’s top sprint car program, “said Gary Lawrence. “We’re very pleased to have a local business like Lawrence Chevrolet backing our sprint car division and once again making it possible for our championship team to earn $20,000,” said Justin Loh, the speedway’s general manager. “We’re looking forward to a long and successful relationship with Gary Lawrence and his staff.” Sponsorships for the other divisions that compete regularly at Williams Grove have also been announced. Tool Shed of America will sponsor the 358 c.i. sprint division this season following their initial involvement with the super sportsman class last year. Blazer’s Body Shop has assumed sponsorship of the sportsman division, the headline attraction for the Saturday Night Series. The Saturday night late models will be sponsored by Tattooed Mom, a restaurant located on South Street in Philadelphia, owned by Williams Grove’s Kathy Hughes. L.B. Smith Ford returns as the street stock sponsor and John Wentzel’s Body Shop will once again back the 4-cylinder division. Williams Grove Speedway will open the 2010 season on Friday evening, March 19, at 7:30, with sprint cars and 358 c.i. sprints on the card.

LINCOLN OPENER POSTPONED ONE MORE WEEK; 410 Sprint Ice Breaker 30 & 358 Sprints to Open Season next Saturday, March 13th

ABBOTTSTOWN, PA , 3/6/10 - Lincoln officials had hoped waiting one more day would melt the snow-covered parking lots enough to provide racing fans a safe area to come-to and leave for the anticipated season-opening races at the Pigeon Hills oval. But after surveying the parking area around noon on Saturday realized it just would not be safe for the multitude of fans and teams that would be converging on the parking area and made the hard decision to cancel Sunday's March 7th opener until next week, Saturday, March 13th,. to open the gates on the 2010 racing season. The 410 Sprints will run the traditional season-opening Ice Breaker 30 next Saturday and be joined by the originally scheduled 358 Sprints for the 2 PM show. Gates will open at noon. If needed, the following day, Sunday, March 14th will be used as a rain date. That will push the season-opening Thundercar "Spring Thaw 20" until the following week, March 20th, as they were originally scheduled to appeared. The March 20th show will also feature the 410 Sprints and the 358 Late Models and be switching to 6 PM starts. To get all the latest news, results, schedule changes and rule changes, visit Lincoln Speedway's website at http://www.lincolnspeedway.com to stay up-to-date on all the action or pending weather conditions at Central Pennsylvania's "Premier" Saturday night race track - The Fabulous Lincoln Speedway.

$3600 STANDARD WINNER'S SHARE AT WILLIAMS GROVE

MECHANICSBURG, PA -- When Williams Grove Speedway opens its 2010 season on Friday evening, March 19, the sprint car drivers in the 410 division will be racing for a substantial increase to win the 25-lap feature. The standard winner's share this season will be $3600, a $600 increase from 2009. The second place finisher will earn $2000, up $200 from last year. Other positions have also been increased. As competitive as the Grove's sprint car division has been in recent years, it seems nearly every driver in the field has a legitimate shot at the $3600 payoff. During the past decade no less than 60 different drivers have won at least one feature event in 410 competition at Williams Grove and in recent years no driver has been able to dominate. No driver has won more than five features in a single season since Doug Esh won six times in 2006. Since the turn of the century the Grove has averaged 16 different winners per year. In 2005 and again in 2008 twenty different drivers won sprint car features in the 410 division with 19 different drivers recording a victory in 2007. None of the past ten seasons has produced fewer than 13 different winners. If the competition continues as expected, the increased winner's share should benefit quite a few race teams this year. The first two features of the season will be lined up according to the luck of the draw before the speedway's handicapping system goes into effect. At that time bonus money and lap money will again be offered making it possible for feature winners to earn considerably more. The 358 c.i. sprints will also be on the opening night card and the first heat is scheduled to start at 7:30.

WILLIAMS GROVE A HEAVY FAVORITE TO BEAT THE WEATHER MARCH 19

MECHANICSBURG, PA -- Although Pennsylvania remains under a thick snow pack, the 2010 racing season at Williams Grove Speedway is set to open in less than a month and if recent history can be used as an indicator, then the odds are in favor of the opener being run on Friday night, March 19, as scheduled. Over the past ten years the period from March 19 through March 31 has produced weather good enough to allow the Grove to run 86% of its scheduled sprint car races. Since the turn of the century, Williams Grove has scheduled 21 races between March 19 and March 31 and only three dates were lost to the elements. Snow caused cancellation of a March 30 race in 2003. Rain washed out dates on March 20, `05 and March 23, `07. The later was rescheduled and successfully completed on March 25, '07. The eighteen races run from March 19-31 during the past ten years produced 13 different winners. Defending track champion Todd Shaffer has been the master of late March, winning four times to top all drivers. One of those wins gets an asterisk since the feature was rained out on March 31, `06 and completed as part of the April 7 program. Other late March repeat winners included Greg Hodnett and Keith Kauffman with two apiece. Fred Rahmer, Don Kreitz, Jr., Brook Weibley, Cris Eash, Todd Hestor, Niki Young, Mike Erdley, Lance Dewease, Craig Dollansky and Pat Cannon have also won during that time period. Shaffer won on March 20 and again on March 27 last year. This season's opener will include the Grove's sprint cars along with the 358s and is scheduled to start at 7:30. The late models will share the pit area with the sprint cars on March 26.

The NAPA Auto Parts Thunder on the Hill Racing Series has certainly evolved over the years.

Although the interest was high, the success strong, by year three, Grandview Speedway track owner Bruce Rogers and Racing Publicist Bob Miller knew the Thunder Series needed a rev-up to keep the spectators coming back for more. The success was simple, change-up the events by bringing in a new division or different format or race night. One thing you can count on with Thunder on the Hill is "change", for these events, it's rarely just, "more of the same".

SELINSGROVE SPEEDWAY NATIONAL OPEN WILL HONOR MEMORY OF SPRINT CAR CHAMPION JIM NACE SEPT. 18;

Possible $26,000 payday for one driver!

SELINSGROVE, Pa. – The 28th Annual National Open for 410 sprint cars at Selinsgrove Speedway on Saturday, Sept. 18, a tribute to the late champion Jim Nace, will be one of the richest-paying sprint car races in the 65-year history of the Snyder County oval, according to an announcement made by track officials Saturday evening at the speedway’s annual motorsports show at the Susquehanna Valley Mall in Hummels Wharf.

The Jim Nace Memorial National Open will feature a unique format that will incorporate Nace’s most popular race car numbers and career statistics into the program. The main event’s distance of 44 laps, which represents one of Nace’s race car numbers from his early career, will be divided into two segments consisting of 22 laps each. Each segment will offer a complete payoff, with $6,000 to win each segment as a tribute to the No. 6 sprint car Nace campaigned most recently as both a driver and a car owner.

Should one driver win both of the 22-lap segments, he will take home the $12,000 base pay as well as a $14,000 bonus, making it possible to earn a total of $26,000, a figure that was selected to honor the Camel Express No. 26 sprint car that Nace drove to a majority of his career championships and victories in central Pennsylvania.

“The Nace family was very receptive to our ideas to honor Jim’s life and racing career as part of this year’s National Open,” said speedway communications director Steve Inch. “Jim was one of the speedway’s most popular drivers during the past three decades and was one of our sport’s great ambassadors. This will be a special night of racing in his honor for both the fans and race teams.”

Tentatively, qualifying for the Jim Nace Memorial National Open will consist of time trials, heat races, B-main, and a dash. Additional details for this race will be announced as they are being finalized during the season.

Nace, who died last November following a seven-year battle with cancer, is Selinsgrove Speedway’s only five-time sprint car track champion, clinching titles in 1987, 1988, 1989, 1994, and 1995. With 46 career 410 sprint car victories and three career 358 sprint car wins, Nace is currently ranked fourth on the speedway’s all-time career sprint car win list.

Jim’s wife Crystal and daughter Jamie Nace, who recently took over operations of the family’s Fast Tees screen printing business in Thompsontown, announced they will sponsor the “Fast Tees Fast Time Award in Memory of Jim Nace” for all of the track’s 410 and 358 sprint car time trial shows in 2010.

The National Open will be one of three events this season featuring the 410 sprint cars at Selinsgrove Speedway. The 410 sprint cars will also compete at Selinsgrove in the May 30 Keystone Cup Series race and the July 4 PA Speedweek finale.

Selinsgrove Speedway will open the 2010 season with a two-day modified show Friday, March 19 and Saturday, March 20. Friday night’s show at 7:30 p.m. will feature the 358 modifieds in a 25-lap $2,000-to-win event, while Saturday’s race at 4 p.m. will feature the big block modifieds in a 50-lap $4,000-to-win finale.

HODNETT IN FAST COMPANY ON WILLIAMS GROVE WIN LIST

MECHANICSBURG, PA -- Following a highly successful 2009 racing season Greg Hodnett has moved into some elite company on Williams Grove Speedway's list of all-time sprint car feature winners. The Memphis native, now residing in Thomasville, scored a division leading five victories at the Grove last year, which vaulted him from ninth to sixth on the all-time winners list. Hodnett moved past Steve Kinser, Kenny Weld and Smokey Snellbaker in 2009. All three of those drivers are currently enshrined in the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame. Hodnett will have an opportunity to move into a fifth-place tie when Williams Grove opens the 2010 racing season on Friday evening, March 19. Lynn Paxton, also a Hall of Famer, currently holds fifth place with 43 victories. Hodnett is right behind him with 42. Hodnett's remarkable `09 season included three victories in World of Outlaws competition including the $50,000 top prize in the National Open. While Hodnett's ascent on the win list has been impressive, Todd Shaffer isn't far behind him. The defending track champion from Millerstown won three times last year and has moved into an 8th place tie with Kinser and Weld. All three own 38 career victories at the Grove. Fred Rahmer leads all drivers with 81 wins followed by Lance Dewease - 70, Don Kreitz, Jr. - 53 and Keith Kauffman - 51. The limited (358 c.i.) sprints will also be on the March 19 card and four drivers are currently tied for first place on that division's list of winners. Defending champion Cory Haas and two-time champ Pat Cannon are tied with current sprint car star Chad Layton and division pioneer Mike Lehman. All four drivers own 14 career victories in 358 competition. The March 19 opener is scheduled to start at 7:30.

AMBITIOUS NAPA AUTO PARTS THUNDER ON THE HILL SCHEDULE OFFERS IT ALL IN 2010

The 2010 season for the NAPA Auto Parts Thunder on the Hill Racing Series could very well be the most diverse and variety filled campaign in the series history.

Since that initial race in August of 1990, ninety-one Thunder on the Hill events were presented on the Grandview Speedway one-third mile oval. The 2010 Thunder Series has something for everyone from the powerful 410 Sprints to the Super DIRT Series Big Block Modifieds, the USAC Wingless Sprints, World of Outlaws Late Models, ROC Modifieds & Sportsman, URC Sprints, 358 Modifieds, ARDC Midgets and Legend cars. Add to the hefty roster the Garden State Vintage Stock Cars, a Monster Smash Demo Derby and the annual end-of-the season Halloween Party and you pretty much have it all.

The Thunder Series started when sprint car driver Dave Kelly brought together Grandview Speedway owner Bruce Rogers and racing publicist Bob Miller with the idea of presenting a 410 sprint car race at Grandview. The Thunder Series started as just a standalone 410 sprint show, drawing big crowds, top drivers and some real nail biting, edge of your seat racing. After just a couple seasons, the 410 sprint shows remained thrillers, but Rogers and Miller knew it was time to make some tweaks to the Series to keep it new, exciting and entertaining. Over time, Thunder on the Hill has certainly evolved into so much more. Nationally recognized drivers, regional stars and local driving talents now fill the pit area for every Thunder on the Hill Racing Series event. It is beyond a race, it's a happening!

In 2010, the opening Thunder Show is set for Wednesday night, May 26 and will feature the 410 Sprints in the Keystone Cup Speed Week Series, a 35 lap $5,000 to win main event. The Sportsman will be on the card presenting a series of qualifying events, a consolation and a 20 lap feature. Back by popular demand is the USAC National Wingless Sprint Tour on Tuesday night, June 1. USAC will share the card with the ARDC Wingless Midgets making this event a spectacular wingless open wheel double-header.

The 12th Annual Super DIRT Series TRAFFIC JAM will make a return to the "hill" on Tuesday night, June 15. The best in the world of big block modifieds will go one-hundred laps with a roster to include Billy Decker, Matt Sheppard, Alan Johnson and Brett Hearn as they take on local favorites Jeff Strunk, Duane Howard, Jimmy Horton, Frank Cozze and Rick Laubach. A twenty lap feature Invitational for Sportsman will be on the program along with the always popular Garden State Vintage Stock Cars.

On Tuesday, June 29 the Pennsylvania Sprint Speed Week Series will storm Grandview joined by the 358 NASCAR Modifieds in a complete show of qualifying, leading up to the twenty-five lap feature event.

A first time visit by the ROC (Race of Champions) Modifieds and Sportsman is set for Wednesday night, July 14. The ROC on the Hill event will showcase the Modifieds in a 60 lap feature as the Sportsman battle the high-banks for 40 laps.

The return of the World of Outlaws Late Models will take place at Grandview on Wednesday night, August 18. Also on the program will be a complete show for the 358 NASCAR Modifieds. This was the must see event of 2009 and is expected to be a crowd pleaser again in 2010.

The Thunder Series season finale will be the Annual House of Thunder Halloween Party on Saturday night, October 16. The feature's only format will include the 358 NASCAR Modifieds, URC Sprints, ARDC Wingless Midgets, Sportsman and the Legend Cars. The Garden State Vintage Stocks will be on the program along with a MONSTER SMASH Demo Derby to close out the season.

410 SPRINT CARS WILL RACE WITH GOODYEAR REAR TIRES IN 2010

December 30, 2009

Port Royal, PA

Port Royal Speedway has reached agreement with Akron, Ohio based Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company for the use of rear tires on 410 sprint cars in 2010. The deal ended several months of negotiations between area speedways and tire manufactures. " Once Williams Grove and Lincoln Speedways indicated to us that they intended to use Goodyear tires, it made our decision easy. We felt it was in the best interest of the sport to have all three 410 tracks and race teams on the same rubber so they didn't have to purchase different tires just to compete at our track.", said President Tom Little. "We have no negative issues with our former tire supplier as they have treated us well. We will continue to work with them in our pro stock class.", Little continued.

Teams will begin racing on Goodyear rubber during the winter swing through Florida which begins in January. A large contingent of local drivers plan to race there, giving them some exposure to the new tires before racing starts in central PA.

Port Royal will open the season Sunday afternoon March 14, 2010 at 2:00 p.m. Aumiller & Associate sprint cars will be the only class in action.

PORT ROYAL SPEEDWAY HONORS TRACK CHAMPIONS

January 10, 2010

Scotty Haus was crowned AB Auto Glass/Mike Cleck Paving Late Model Champion. Haus became emotional while speaking about his nine year relationship with the Mapes Racing/Beech Creek Racing gang which has retired from competition. "We won 105 races together out of over 300 starts. The car could have won them all." Haus added he went from a well funded team to becoming a two car owner/ team manager this off season and knows it will be an adjustment. Haus purchased his favorite car from the Mapes to run himself. He will also be providing a car for his son to drive. Tim Fedder was paid for second place with Waylon Wagner third. Jason Miller and Eric Zembower completed the top five. Bryan Sipe, Mitch Hack, Gary Beward, and Mike Hess rounded out the top ten. All plan on racing regularly at Port Royal this season.

WILLIAMS GROVE AND GOODYEAR ENTER AGREEMENT FOR 2010

MECHANICSBURG, PA -- Goodyear tires will be required on both the right and left rear wheels of all sprint cars competing in the 410 division at Williams Grove Speedway in 2010. The mandatory track tires proved by Goodyear will include a right rear 105/17-15 size with a G-25 tread pattern. For the left rear 93, 95 and 97/15-15 size with a G-25 tread pattern may be used. Available compounds for the right rear will be 100, 200, 300 and 400 while 100, 200, and 300 will be available for the left rear. Goodyear officials and Williams Grove Speedway owner Cathy Hughes have reached an agreement which will make Goodyear the official tire in the 410 division and will also lead to increases in the 2010 point fund and weekly purses. Goodyear will also offer certificates that winning drivers can use for Goodyear tires. With this announcement Williams Grove will join the World of Outlaws, the All Star Circuit of Champions and Iowa’s Knoxville Raceway as some of the sanctioning bodies and weekly sprint car racing venues that will partner with Goodyear in 2010. World of Outlaws teams conducted tire tests in conjunction with Goodyear representatives at Williams Grove Speedway in October and were pleased with the results of those tests. “That’s one of the reasons we decided to go with Goodyear at Williams Grove, “ said Hughes. “Also, our association with Goodyear will help make it possible for us to raise our purses and increase the point fund.” Hughes also expressed a desire to see her sprint car regulars remain competitive at the speedway’s richest races, which are sanctioned by the World of Outlaws. In 2009 weekly Grove competitors won all four WoO-sanctioned events at the Mechanicsburg half-mile including the $50,000 National Open. “To allow our drivers to use other tires throughout the season would put them at a disadvantage in the biggest races of the year,” said Hughes. Goodyear tires will be mandated for the 410 division only. The Grove’s Hoosier tire rule will remain in place for the 358 c.i. sprint division in 2010.

TRAIL-WAY SPEEDWAY 37TH ANNUAL AWARDS BANQUET

Hanover, PA (11/14/09) – Although Mother Nature won 18 of the more than 50 scheduled events in the 2009 season, her persistent drizzle Saturday night did not dampen the festivities of the 2009 Trail-Way season ending banquet. Over 400 members of the racing family and 78 of 85 award winners were in attendance for the first banquet to be held at the newly built S.A.V.E.S. Social Hall on Route 116.

During the banquet, Brad Hostetter shared plans for next season which include the return of all the divisions that raced in the 2009 season. The track has been graded and the parts of the track were banked 10 more degrees. The Hostetters’ are ready for another great season of racing, hopefully with fewer rain outs.

The 2010 schedule is being finalized and will be posted at www.trail-wayspeedway.com in December. The first scheduled Saturday race of the 2010 season will be March 20, 2010 and the Friday night opener will be April 2, 2010. All divisions that raced last season will be returning for the 2010 season. The rules are also being finalized and will be posted on the website. The rules for the Friday night Thundercars will mirror the Lincoln Speedway rules. Trail-Way and Lincoln have planned a meeting to discuss the rules.

Motorama will be held at the Pennsylvania Farm Show Complex in Harrisburg on February 20 and 21, 2010. Information about tickets and registration will be available on the website, www.motoramaevents.com soon.

The 2009 track champions and top point finishers were awarded trophies, plaques, jackets, and checks during the 37th Annual Awards Banquet. Billy Dietrich reclaimed the 358 Sprint Car championship title from 3-time defending champ, Jeff Rohrbaugh. Dietrich accomplished this without winning a single race this season. Of his thirteen starts, Dietrich finished in the top 5 eleven times and outside the top 10 one time.

RMP Thundercar champion Sam Gallagher completed a modified schedule with six top 5s in as many starts and four trips to victory lane. The 358 Late Models made four stops at Trail-Way. Mike Walls picked up the championship never finishing worse than tenth.

The Extreme Stock champion Gary Calimer, Jr. finished the five race season with three wins and five top 10s. Chad Weaver accumulated five wins and finished outside the top 10 once in his sixteen starts to claim the Limited Stock championship title.

As the season was winding down, Brian Racine was battling Tim Dietz for the 600cc Micro Sprint title. Dietz had a night of bad luck forcing him to borrow a fellow racer’s car which allowed Racine to pass Dietz for the points lead. Some late season rainouts helped Racine secure the 600cc Micro Sprint championship by 9 points over Dietz. Racine ended the season with two wins and both Racine and Dietz finished in the top 10 eleven times of fourteen starts.

Brian Racine was also leading the 1000cc Sidewinder Sprint points. Racine finished the season with seven top 5s and three wins in the Sidewinders. Nik Gower claimed the 270cc Micro Sprint title with thirteen top 5s and three wins in fifteen starts.

The 4 & 6 cyl. Scramble Car championship was won by Rob Lyon. Lyon clinched the title with thirteen top 10s in fourteen starts and no trips to victory lane. Wes Kellison claimed the Starlite 6 cyl. Oval title by never finishing outside the top 10 and capturing three victories. Joe Flanary won the Starlite 4 cyl. Oval championship with five wins and nine top 10s in twelve starts.

The 32nd Annual Motorama will be Feb. 20 and 21, 2010. Information regarding Motorama will be posted at www.motoramaevents.com. The first Saturday race is scheduled for March 20, 2010 and the first Friday night race is scheduled for April 2, 2010. Divisions and times will be announced in December following the completion of the 2010 schedule.

For all the latest news and related information from Trail-Way Speedway, fans are reminded to visit the speedway website at www.trail-wayspeedway.com. The complete story and agate from each race night is posted shortly after the final checkered falls.

MONTIETH CLAIMS SECOND STRAIGHT TRACK CHAMPIONSHIP; Dale Hammaker Claims First Career Lincoln 358 Sprint Title; Duane Watson earns Second Thundercar Title in Three Years; Gene Knaub Claims Second Straight 358 Late Model Championship

YORK, PA, 11/21/09 - Lincoln Speedway track champions and special year-end awards were handed out at the Holiday Inn in York Saturday night, November 21st. Close to 400 people were in attendance to watch the crowning of the 410 sprint, 358 sprint, thundercar, and 358 late model champions for 2009. The top ten finishers in the season -long point series for all four divisions were honored as well as special awards.

MONTIETH CLAIMS SECOND STRAIGHT LAWRENCE CHEVROLET TRACK CHAMPIONSHIP A year after winning his first career Lincoln track championship without registering a win, Phoenixville's Brian Montieth came back with vengeance in 2009 by winning seven races en route to his second straight Lawrence Chevrolet 410 Sprint Track Championship. It all began for the driver known as "the Edge" in the 2009 season-opening Ice Breaker 30 on February 28th by registering the win. And when the proverbial dust had settled at years' end, Montieth had driven his Jerry Parrish-owned Premiere Auto Works\Auto Locator No. 21 sprinter to a career-high seven wins and another Pigeon Hills track title. In 26 events, Montieth proved he was more than deserving of the title "Track Champion" as he amassed 19 top-10 and 12 top-five finishes to go along with his seven wins. It was also car owner Jerry Parrish's second track championship as well as sponsors Premiere Auto Works and Auto Locator. Montieth's title also secured chief wrench Scott Zellers his second Mechanic of the Year award too. Denver's Alan Krimes improved on his 2008 fifth place finish in the final championship point standings with a well-deserved second place. Krimes led all racers in top-10 finishes with 21 out of 26 events along with 11 top-five finishes. Though winless at Lincoln in 2009, Krimes actually led the point standings at one point and was in the hunt for the coveted track title all year long and earned the Sportsmanship Award winner for his on-and-off track efforts. 10-time track champion Fred Rahmer of Salfordville made some noise too in 2009 as he won three races to up his all-time win leader total to 164 wins. After earning his first win of the season in the second race, Rahmer went on to notch two huge milestone wins. On April 4th Rahmer recorded his 400th career sprint car win and then on May 2nd recorded his 500th career overall win against the O'Reilly All Star Circuit of Champions. Following his milestone wins, Rahmer capped off his history-making season by being inducted into the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame in Knoxville, Iowa on May 30th. In all, Rahmer recorded 19 top-10 finishes along with 10 top-fives en route to his third place finish in the final point standings. After finishing out of the top-10 in points in 2008, York's Brian Leppo rebounded with a fourth-place effort in 2009 on the heels of five top-fives and 11 top-10 finishes. Leppo proved he had one of the fastest sprint cars during the year as he was the fastest in time trials three times during the year against the best (May 2nd - All Stars, May 23rd Keystone Cup, and Aug. 8th Sterner Memorial). New Oxford's Jimmy Siegel picked up his sixth career win during the 2009 season and improved on his 2008 performance finishing fifth in the final standings by added six top-five and 11 top-10 finishes. The third generation diver showed a lot of determination on his lone July 18th win after crashing out and finishing last the week before, knowing he had the car to beat that night. At the end of that night, Siegel held the potential fourth generation Siegel, his son Jude, in victory lane. Completing the top ten in season points were Niki Young, first-time winner and Most Improved Driver award-winner Cory Haas, veteran Cris Eash, two-time winner and Outlaw-bound teenage sensation Cody Darrah, and 2006 track champ Doug Esh. Other Lincoln wins in 2009 were recorded by Darrah (2 wins), Jeff Busby, Lance Dewease, Esh, and Johnny Mackison Jr., along with six first time winners Danny Dietrich (2 wins), Doug Dodson, Scott Geesey, Tim Glatfelter, Haas, and Gerard McIntyre Jr. All told, there were 16 different winners in 2009 over 26 events. Big race winners were Rahmer (All stars), Darrah (Keystone Cup), Montieth (All Stars, Kevin Gobrecht Memorial & Weldon Sterner Memorial), Haas (Hank Gentzler Memorial/Manufacturers Night), and Stevie Smith (Kenny Weld Memorial). Adam Wilt picked up Rookie of the Year honors after finishing only 15 points out of 10th place in the final standings.

DALE HAMMER CLAIMS FIRST KEIZER LINCOLN SPEEDWAY ALUMINUM WHEELS TRACK CHAMPIONSHIP

Grantville's Dale Hammaker competed in the most competitive Keizer Aluminum Wheels 358 Sprints season in recent memory at Lincoln Speedway in 2009 and earned a well-deserved track title for his efforts. Hammaker picked up his lone win of the season on May 30th and jumped from fourth to first in the tight points race that night. Hammaker's win at the time marked the fourth different winner in four events. That streak would continue through July as the highly competitive 358 sprint division produced nine different winner in as many events. Through it all Hammaker continued his trademark consistency and produced six top-five finishes along with an astounding 10-top-10 finishes out of 11 events run during the season. His only finish out of the top 10 was a 13th place finish in early June. The lone blemish on the 358 sprint season for Hammaker may have been the last race of the season - the rained-out 358 Sprint Championship. Without it, Hammaker was crowned the champion without the glory of being track side when he clinched the coveted track title. The final race may have been a mere formality for Hammaker as he enjoyed a 165 point advantage heading into what would have been the final points race of the season. After finishing ninth the past two seasons, Aspers' Glenndon Forsythe finished second in the final championship standings. Forsythe proved he was a contender after becoming one of nine different winners this season with his third career win in July. His seven top-10 and two top-five finishes gave him a narrow margin of 15 points in securing the runner-up spot. Defending champ Jeff Rohrbaugh looked good out of the gate in defending his 2008 track championship by winning the division's season-opening race back in March. But after a missed race in April, Rohrbaugh had to dig out of a big hole the rest of the year and steadily moved up the standings until ending up with a solid third-place finish in the end. That season-opening win was Rohrbaugh's fourth career win and was followed by a division-leading nine top-five finishes along with 10 top-10 finishes - a record that at first glance would be good enough for a track title if it were not for that one missed event. East Brunswick New Jersey driver Kevin Nagy may have traveled a good distance to compete at Lincoln this season, but it was worth it as took home fourth place honors in 2009. Though not picking up a win, Nagy proved his 150 mile drive was worth the effort as he qualified for every event and only failed to finish one race. His five top-10 and lone top-five finish, not to mention his endurance, earned him a well-deserved fourth place in the final championship standings. 2005 track champ Billy Dietrich of Gettysburg continued his racing family's tradition by turning in another solid performance in 2009 to finish fifth in the year-end standings. Dietrich's lone win of the year in July, his eighth career Lincoln win, moved him into a three-way tie for seventh place on the all time win list. Being one of nine different winners, along with his five top-five and seven top-10 finishes once again put the Dietrich name in Lincoln's record books. Completing the top-10 in points was a rare 2009 two-time winner in Brad McClelland, Tim Berkheimer, Most Improved Driver award winner Tim Wagaman, Eric Tomecek, and the other two-time winner and 2009 Rookie of the Year Kyle Moody. Other winners in 2009 included first time winners Matt Boland and Gerard McIntyre Jr. (2 wins), along with Adrian Shaffer who picked up his sixth career Lincoln win along the way. Also worthy of mentioning was female racer Nicole Bower who actually had a share of the point lead early in the season and came very close to recording a win one night. Her efforts earned her the Sportsmanship Award.

DUANE WATSON CLAIMS SECOND CHAMPIONSHIP IN THREE YEARS IN THUNDERCARS Abbottstown's Duane Watson returned to Thundercar competition in 2009 after testing the late model waters last year following his 2007 thundercar championship to pick up his second track title in three years. And as has become traditional in the most competitive support division in the country, it came down to the final race of the year as he trailed defending track champion Sam Gallagher by five points. Much like how he trailed defending track champ Neil Smith in the final race of 2007, it took a good car and good fortune in the 2009 thundercar finale to jump past Gallagher in final standings to earn the track championship. Like Montieth did in the 410 sprints, Watson won the season opening Spring Thaw 20 back in March and won another six events along the way to lead all thundercars with seven wins and moved into a tie for fifth on Lincoln Speedway's all time thundercar winners list with 27 career wins. But defending champ Gallagher bounced back to win the second race of the year and from that point on the battle was on. Along the way Watson won one of three thundercar non-stop features, recorded back-to-back wins on May 23rd and June 6th and at one point mid-season had won four of eight races. His seven features wins, coupled with a division-leading 13 top-five finishes and 14 top-10 finishes in 17 events gave him the 2009 track championship when the dust settled in their finale. Defending thundercar champ Sam Gallagher of Hanover gave it everything he could to defend his crown by winning two races in 2009 and had the point lead heading into the finale. Gallagher's consistency almost got him the championship as he added a total of 12 top-five and a division-leading 15 top-10 finishes along with his wins. One of those wins was a lucrative Championship event on August 8th as the battle for the top spot was heating up. Landisville's Larry Niederer finally picked up his first career Pigeon Hills win, finish twice in the top-five and 10 times in the top-10 en route to a third place finish in the final standings. Fan favorite Gino Comi of Pylesville Maryland had to settle for his second consecutive fourth place finish in the final standings. Though not winning in 2009, Comi overcame mechanical problems mid-season and was once again a contender to win every night over the final races. Comi's seven top-five and 12 top-10 finishes were a testament to his determination all year long in the competitive thundercar division. Hanover's Danny Beard was another thundercar regular who also had a shot to win on any given night and settled for a career-best fifth in the final point standings. Beard picked up a single win along with 11 top-five and 13 top-10 finishes and was closing on the point leaders heading into the final month of the season. His win was also one of the three non-stop thundercar features in 2009. Completing the top-10 in points were Rick Weaver, Most Improved Driver award winner Jimmy Combs, Brad Shank, Sportsmanship award winner Mike Slaybaugh, and Justin Mong. Mt. Airy Maryland's Todd Miller Todd Miller impressed many in the thundercar division and earned Rookie of the Year honors on the heels of his one top-five and five top-10 finishes en route to finishing 13th in the season-long points chase. Other winners over their 17-race season were second generation racer Slaybaugh, first-time winner Jamie Zentmyer, Niederer, and Will Walls. Not only did Walls pick up his first career thundercar win on May 2nd, he set a new 20-lap track record in the non-stop feature. He then went on to win three more races in his break-out season for a total of four and finished just out of the top-10 in the final point standings. In all there were three non-stop feature runs in 2009 for the thundercars. They also had several nights where all their heats were run in non-stop fashion, earning the respect of their fans and peers as well.

SPECIAL AWARDS WINNERS (Thundercars) Thundercar Champion - Duane Watson Rookie of the Year - Todd Miller Sportsmanship Award -Mike Slaybaugh Most Improved Driver - Jimmy Combs

GENE KNAUB CHAMPION FOR SECOND YEAR IN-A-ROW IN 358 LATE MODELS Two-time 2009 winner Gene Knaub of Dover once again proved he is the man to beat in 358 Late Model competition at Lincoln in 2009 by winning his second championship in-a-row. Not only did Knaub finish in the top-10 in all six races run in 2009, he finished in the top-five five of those times. In the three years the late models have run for points at the Pigeon Hills oval Knaub has recorded seven wins, and finished 14 times in the top-five and 18 times in the top-10 out of 19 events. Knaub edged out a trio of former Lincoln thundercar drivers for the title. 21-time former thundercar driver Mike Walls of Gettysburg finished second in points with four top-five and five top-10 finishes. Three-time thundercar champion and one time 2009 winner Bobby Beard finished third, 27-time thundercar winner Craig Wagaman recorded two wins en route to finishing fourth followed by McConnellsburg's Cory Houck in fifth. Completing the top-10 were Jake Lettick, Bernie Beard, Chaz Walls, Mike Spangler and John Baker.

WILLIAMS GROVE CHAMPIONS CROWNED -- 2010 OPENER SET

CAMP HILL, PA -- Todd Shaffer was officially crowned as Williams Grove Speedway’s 2009 Sutliff Auto Group sprint car champion Saturday night, November 14, at the Radisson Penn Harris Convention Center. Shaffer won the season opener on March 20 and never relinquished the point lead throughout the long season, which ended in October. It was the third track title for the 48-year old Millerstown resident. His other championships came in 1995 and 2007. Shaffer drove the Gary and Patti Beam #88 to to three victories en route to the title. Jim and Sandy Kline, who fielded the car driven to five victories by Greg Hodnett, earned the car owner’s championship. It was the second crown for the Klines, having previously won with Fred Rahmer in the seat. Shaffer and the Klines each earned checks for $10,000. Shaffer’s crew chief, Jim Russell, was named Mechanic of the Year. Mark Smith, who finished tied with Hodnett for second place in the point standings, earned the Most Improved Driver award. Adam Wilt, who won two features in his first full year of sprint car competition, was Rookie of the Year. Brian Montieth won the Sportsmanship award. Cory Haas scored an unprecedented fourth 358 c.i. sprint car championship. The top 24 owners and drivers in the sprint car point standings received checks. The top ten drivers in the Coliseum-sponsored 358 division also received checks. With more than 700 in attendance the room was divided so that the Saturday Night Series awards could be presented separately. Carmen Perigo was the Tool Shed of America champion in the super sportsman division. Gene Knaub earned the title in the A. J.’s Truck and Trailer 358 c.i. late model division. Kory Sites regained his L. B. Smith Ford street stock crown and Brian Wentzel won the Wentzel’s Body Shop 4-cylinder championship.

SELINSGROVE SPEEDWAY

14 November 2009 Steve Inch

SNYDER, RINE, SMITH, DUNHAM & HOOVER TAKE TOP HONORS AT SELINSGROVE SPEEDWAY & RACEWAY PARK AWARDS BANQUET Season Opening Dates & Facility Upgrades Announced

HERSHEY, Pa. – Selinsgrove Speedway & Raceway Park concluded the 2009 season with the Ninth Annual Awards Banquet Saturday, Nov. 14, at the Sheraton Harrisburg-Hershey Hotel. More than $30,000 in point fund monies, trophies, and jackets were awarded to the year’s top performing teams in the track’s go kart, micro sprint car, roadrunner, pro stock, late model, and 358 sprint car divisions.

Track champions Nate Snyder of Halifax (358 sprint cars), Jeff Rine of Danville (late models), Jason Smith of Williamsport (pro stocks), Marlin Dunham of Selinsgrove (roadrunners), and Todd Hoover of Mt. Pleasant Mills (micro sprint cars) were also the recipients of custom championship rings from Foss Jewelers of Selinsgrove.

During Saturday’s ceremonies, all those in attendance paused to pay tribute to the life and racing career of former five-time Selinsgrove Speedway sprint car champion Jim Nace of Thompsontown, who died Wednesday, Nov. 11, 2009, following a seven-year strife with cancer.

Snyder, driving the Art Lindsay Construction/Pro Lawn/Expert Settlement Services No. 56, won his first career A&A Auto Stores 358 sprint car track title at Selinsgrove Speedway without a single victory this season. Snyder drove to 16 top ten finishes in the division’s 19 events. He was crowned as the division’s sixth different champion since the 358 sprint cars became the track’s weekly open wheel attraction in 2001.

Rine was successful in his “drive for five” in 2009, clinching his fifth career MAPCO Machine Shop late model track title at Selinsgrove with 17 top five finishes, including nine feature wins, in the division’s 18 events. He celebrated his 50th career win at the track on May 9, and is ranked third on the speedway’s all-time leading late model win list with 55 career victories.

Rine is one of only three drivers who has won five or more late model championships at the track since 1963. Nescopeck drivers Bobby Croop and Richie Jensen are the other two drivers with eight and seven titles, respectively. Only Jensen and Rine have been able to win three or more late model championships consecutively in the track’s history.

A second generation race car driver, Jason Smith of Williamsport was another first-time champion at the speedway in the Salem RV Center pro stock division. Smith finished in the top 10 in every one of the division’s 20 races this season and won six features. Smith’s father, C.W. Smith, was the track’s 1987 limited late model champion.

Completing his first full season of racing in 2009, Marlin Dunham of Selinsgrove was crowned as the Collier Paving & Construction/Byers Built Engines roadrunner champion. Dunham, a second generation driver whose father, Scott Dunham Sr., was the 1997 daredevil champion, drove to nine top five finishes in 18 races. He won his first career race on Aug. 1.

Special recognition awards were also presented in the following categories: Most Improved Driver awards went to Matt Heimbach (sprints), Dave Graber (late models), Cody McFadden (pro stocks), and Mike Kiehl (roadrunners). Sportsman Of The Year plaques were awarded to Matt Horst (sprints, in memory of Joe Whitcomb), Jeff Smith (late models), Jeff Ceballo (pro stocks), and Bob Bussey (roadrunners). Rookie Of The Year honors went to Jessica Anderson (sprints), Dylan Yoder (late models), Kurt Wray (pro stocks), and Marlin Dunham (roadrunners).

Paula Long-Schick presented Hard Charger awards in memory of her father, former late model champion Paul Long, to Nate Snyder (sprints), Jeff Rine (late models), Jason Smith (pro stocks), and Keith Bissinger (roadrunners).

Raceway Park champions also shared the spotlight Saturday evening. A former champion in 2007, Todd Hoover’s second Selinsgrove Ford micro sprint car title season was highlighted by top five finishes in all of the division’s 19 races, including four feature wins.

Kody Kreamer clinched the jr. micro sprint car championship with 12 feature wins; Matthew Campbell won the 125 micro sprint car title with seven feature wins; and Cliff Loss clinched the title in the mini micro sprint cars with 11 wins.

Go kart champions were recognized as follows: Blaise Tanner (kid karts), Lohr Jackson (rookie cage 5-8), Ashlin Zook (rookie cage 9-12), Ethan Spotts (rookies 1), Dylan Feltman ( rookies II), Tyler Brown (jr. restricted lites), Tyler Fawver (jr. cage), Tyler Campbell (lites), Brett Dreese (heavies), Cameron Englehart (extra heavies), Kenton Pyle (adult cage flathead), Vinny Williamson (adult cage animal), Tyson Mowery (flat 330), and Richie Good (370).

Selinsgrove Speedway is tentatively scheduled to host the 2009 Motorsports Show at the Susquehanna Valley Mall from Sunday, Feb. 14 through Saturday, Feb. 20.

Opening weekend 2010 will feature two complete modified shows, with the 358 modifieds slated to compete at 7:30 p.m. Friday, March 19, and the Race of Champions Dart Dirt Modified Tour slated to return at 4 p.m. Saturday, March 20.

The 358 sprint car season opener is scheduled for 6 p.m. Saturday, March 27. The following weekend, Saturday, April 3, Selinsgrove Speedway will present the rescheduled 358 Sprint Car Open that was cancelled due to rain this fall. The 30-lap A-main will pay $3,000 to win.

The speedway’s first four division show of the 2010 season featuring 358 sprint cars, late models, pro stocks, and roadrunners will be at 6 p.m. Saturday, April 10.

The 2009 go kart season opener at Selinsgrove Raceway Park is scheduled for 12 p.m. Sunday, March 28. The micro sprint cars will make their season debut at 7 p.m. Friday, April 2.

Selinsgrove Speedway & Raceway Park facility improvements are continuing during the off-season. Both of the half-mile and one-fifth mile tracks have been resurfaced with sifted clay.

The frontstretch and backstretch guardrails have been replaced on the half-mile track. In addition, the speedway’s maintenance crew has been working cooperatively with members of the Selinsgrove Fair Board in making renovations to the track’s historic covered grandstand, including new cement steps, handrails, and a designated handicap seating area.

Central PA Tire Rule Meeting

THE RESULTS OF LAST NIGHTS MEETING WAS GOOD, WITH EIGHT 410 AND TWENTY-SIX 358 TEAMS ON HAND. THERE WAS A LOT OF GOOD QUESTIONS ASKED, WITH A LOT OF QUESTIONS ANSWERED. TIRE REPS FROM ALL THREE MANUFACTURERS WERE ON HAND (HOOSIER, AMERICAN RACER, AND GOODYEAR), BUT THERE WERE NO TRACK PROMOTERS THAT ATTENDED THE “OPEN” MEETING WITH SOME PERSONALLY INVITED.

GOODYEAR NOTES:

~REPRESENTATIVES ON HAND WERE PAT AND BRENT FROM COMPETITION TIRE EAST.

~COST ON TIRES WILL BE $198 FOR A RR AND $185 FOR A LR.

~RIGHT REAR WILL COME IN 3 COMPOUNDS A 100(BEING THE SOFTEST), 200, AND 300(BEING THE HARDEST)

~LEFT REARS WILL COME IN 2 COMPOUNDS A 100 AND 200 AND WILL HAVE SIZES OF 91”, 93”, 95”, AND 97”.

~IF THERE IS AN OPEN TIRE RULE, GOODYEAR DOES NOT HAVE AN OPEN COMPETITION TIRE READY.

~THE SPEC RIGHT REAR TIRE IS DESIGNED TO UNHOOK THE RACE CAR.

~THE REPS DID NOT KNOW WHETHER THERE WAS AN OPEN COMPETITION PROPOSAL REQUESTED.

HOOSIER NOTES:

~REPRESENTATIVE WAS RANDY FROM HOOSIER TIRE MID-ATLANTIC.

~IF THERE WAS AN OPEN COMPETITION TIRE RULE YOU WOULD SEE THE OPEN COMPETITION RIGHT REAR TIRES ROUGHLY $20.00 MORE THEN THE CURRENT PRICE. CURRENT “SC” RIGHT REARS ARE $196 AND LEFT REARS ARE $184

~HOOSIER WAS ASKED FOR SEPARATE PROPOSALS FOR THE 358’S AND THE 410’S FROM LINCOLN AND WILLIAMS GROVE.

~SELINSGROVE AND PORT ROYAL ALREADY SIGNED HOOSIER “SC” TIRE RULE. TRAIL-WAY, LINCOLN, AND WILLIAMS GROVE SPEEDWAYS HAVE NOT SIGNED ANY TIRE AGREEMENTSM YET.

AMERICAN RACER NOTES:

~REPRESENTATIVES AT THE MEETING WERE MARK AND FRED FROM LIAS TIRE.

~REGARDLESS IF THERE WAS AN AMERICAN RACER TIRE RULE (LIKE URC), OR AN OPEN COMPETITION TIRE, PRICES WOULD BE $165.00 FOR A RIGHT REAR AND $155.00 FOR A LEFT REAR.

~THEY WERE ASKED FOR A TIRE RULE PROPOSAL FROM LINCOLN AND WILLIAMS GROVE AND RESPONDED WITH ONE. THEY WERE NOT ASKED FOR AN OPEN COMPETITION PROPOSAL, BUT SUPPLIED A PROPOSAL FOR THAT OPPORTUNITY.

TOPICS GENERALLY AGREED ON:

~THE POINT FUND HAS NOT INCREASED SINCE THE TIRE RULE CAME INTO EFFECT YEARS AGO.

~SPEC TIRES ARE MAKING RACING WORST DUE TO THE TIRES UNHOOKING THE CAR. THAT DOESN’T MAKE RACING BETTER. IT MAKES IT MORE FOLLOW THE LEADER.

~WHY DO WE HAVE TO DO THE SAME AS THE OUTLAWS EVERY TIME THEY CHANGE A RULE?

~THE RACE TRACK ITSELF NEEDS TO GET OUT OF THE TIRE BUSINESS. THE MONEY THAT’S COLLECTED FROM THE TIRE MANUFACTURER TO MANDATE THESE SPEC TIRES, IS SUPPOSED TO GO TOWARDS A POINT FUND, BUT NEVER SHOWS UP THERE! AGAIN, IT WAS AGREED UPON THAT OPENING UP THE TIRE RULE, WOULD CREATE GOOD COMPETITION BETWEEN ALL THREE TIRE MANUFACTURES. THEN TIRE DEALS WOULD TAKE CARE OF THEMSELVES BETWEEN THE SUPPLIER AND THE RACER.

~WITH THE UNDERSTANDING THAT TRACK OWNERS AND PROMOTERS DO HAVE TO MAKE MONEY, WHEN IS ENOUGH, ENOUGH, WHEN IT COMES TO TAKING ADVANTAGE OF CERTAIN SITUATIONS?

~BIGGEST CONCERN OF ALL RACERS IS TO GET THE TRACK OWNERS AND PROMOTERS OUT OF THE TIRE BUSINESS. AND ALLOW THE RACERS TO MAKE THEIR OWN TIRE DEAL

THE MEETING WAS ADJOURNED AT 8:50 AND A VOTE ON A BALLOT WAS TAKEN. THE RESULTS OF THE 26 358 TEAMS WERE AS FOLLOWS: 22 TEAMS WANT OPEN COMPETITION 2 WOULD LIKE A HOOSIER TIRE RULE 1 WOULD LIKE OPEN COMPETITION TIRES BUT A COMPOUND RULE 1 WOULD LIKE AN AMERICAN RACER TIRE RULE.

AS FOR THE 8 410 TEAMS: 7 WOULD LIKE IT TO BE OPEN COMPETITION 1 WOULD LIKE IT TO BE OPEN COMPETITION WITH A 1 TIRE A NIGHT RULE ON THE RIGHT REAR

HOPEFULLY THIS WILL LET PROMOTERS KNOW WHAT DIRECTION THE RACERS ARE IN FAVOR OF.

THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO MADE IT TO THE MEETING. A POSSIBILITY OF A SECOND MEETING WAS DISCUSSED.

Frankie Herr and Carmen Perigo Jr. Claim Williams Grove Speedway Super Sportsman Features

Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania

Frankie Herr and Carmen Perigo Jr. had mirror-image seasons. The duo were in the battle for the Williams Grove Speedway Tool Shed of America Super Sportsman point title. Both drivers were lacking one item in their 2009 racing portfolio - neither driver had secured a 2009 Super Sportsman victory at Williams Grove. Friday night, the final evening of racing for 2009, both drivers claimed a win in the twin 20-lap Super Sportsman features.

LeRoy Martin and Frankie Herr were in the front row as the first 20-lap affair began. Martin led the field into turn one followed by Herr, Jason Fry, Ryan Rupp and Scott Dellinger. By the fifth-lap the gap between the leader and second place was two lengths.

Herr's winning move came on lap eight. Martin slid up the track in turns one and two. Herr used the very bottom of the turns to make his pass for the lead.

Once in front Frankie Herr left the field behind. He encountered lapped traffic on lap 15 but that did not slow down the Carlisle driver.

The only caution of the race came out with two-laps remaining. The yellow flag gave LeRoy Martin one final chance to score the win. On the restart Herr drove away from Martin. At the finish it was Frankie Herr winning his 11th career Williams Grove Super Sportsman feature by five lengths over Martin, Fry, Russ Mitten and Rupp.

The second feature found Ryan Rupp using his front row starting position to take over the lead. Rupp was trailed by Jason Fry, Scott Dellinger and Frankie Herr.

Carmen Perigo Jr., the 2009 Williams Grove Speedway Super Sportsman point champion, started the feature in eighth. By the end of the second circuit Stoystown's Perigo was in fifth. Three laps later Perigo advanced to third.

The race for the lead became a three-car fight by lap 13. Ryan Rupp, Jason Fry and Carmen Perigo Jr. were in a close battle for the lead. On lap 17 Perigo passed Fry for second position.

The win would be decided on the final lap. In turns one and two Perigo slid across the track. Perigo and Rupp were even as they exited turn two. Side-by-side they raced into the final set of turns. They were still even off turn four. Perigo had the momentum off the turn and he edged out Rupp for the feature win. The win is the fourth of his career at Williams Grove. Fry, Scott Dellinger and Russ Mitten completed the top five.

Heat wins for the 35-car Super Sportsman field went to Frankie Herr, Russ Mitten and Jason Fry. Steve Wilbur, in his final race, won the consolation event.

The A.J.'s Truck and Trailer Center 358 Late Models raced with a different look. For the first time this year the roof came off the cars. Despite the different look and handling characteristics, it did not slow down Gene Knaub. Knaub led every lap and easily won his 11th career feature at Williams Grove Speedway.

By the luck of the draw, the two top drivers in the 358 Late Models started on the front row. Gene Knaub, from Dover, started on the pole with Bobby Beard on the outside. Knaub shot into the lead followed by Bobby Beard, Ron Little Sr., Travis Mease and D.J. Mease.

While Knaub drove away from the field, the battle was for second between Beard and Little. This fight would continue for the remainder of the event.

Gene Knaub encountered lapped traffic at the midway point of the race. The slower traffic did not hamper Knaub. At one point Knaub had a full straightaway lead over Beard.

Beard and Little needed a caution to have any chance of winning the race. The only caution of the race came with two-laps remaining. When the race was restarted Gene Knaub again drove away for the pack. At the finish line it was Knaub winning by eight-lengths over Bobby Beard, Ron Little Sr., Bernie Beard and Mike Walls.

Shaun Jones, Gene Knaub and Andy Fries won the heat races for the 30-car 358 Late Model field. The consolation race went to Roy Miller.

Kory Sites, the 2009 Williams Grove Speedway Street Stock point champion, topped off an outstanding year by winning the 15-lap L.B. Smith Ford Street Stock feature.

While Craig Morgan led the first lap of the Street Stock main, deep in the pack Todd Bowersox had problems. His car went sideways forcing Kory Sites and Jim Palm Jr. to take evasive actions. By the time they were back to speed, Sites and Palm had dropped to the rear of the field.

Craig Morgan led the first two laps. On the third pass of the half-mile it was Joey Hoffer becoming the new leader. Doug Hoffman moved into second and applied pressure on leader Hoffer.

The only caution of the race came on lap six. As a light rain began, Hoffer continued to lead trailed by Hoffman, Morgan, Jim Gross and Pat McNeal.

Mechanicsburg's Kory Sites, following his first-lap incident, was rapidly advancing through the field. He took over fifth place on lap eight. Two laps later Sites moved into third place. While Sites joined Hoffer and Hoffman in the race for the lead, Pat McNeal broke free of traffic and quickly caught the lead trio.

The final three-laps found Hoffer, Hoffman, Sites and McNeal racing in a tight pack. Sites passed Hoffman for second. As the white flag came out Hoffer and Sites were even. They raced door to door into the final turns. Off the final turn there was contact between Hoffer and Sites. Sites held on to claim the win by a very slim margin over Hoffer, Hoffman, NcNeal and Craig Morgan.

The John Wentzel's Auto Body Four-Cylinders took part in two 15-lap features. It was a perfect night for Kevin Thomas as he swept both feature events.

Henry Lesher led the opening lap of the first Four-Cylinder feature. Kevin Thomas began the race in eighth-place and he was fifth by the end of lap two. Two laps later Thomas charged into second spot.

On the seventh-lap Thomas passed leader Lesher in turn four. Once in front Thomas left the field behind. The feature went caution-free and Kevin Thomas won by 12-lengths over Brian Wentzel. The second place by Wentzel gave him enough points to secure the 2009 Williams Grove Speedway Four-Cylinder point title. Ed Hollenbach, Lesher and Dennis Christ completed the top five finishers.

The second feature found Kevin Thomas starting in third. By the completion of lap one Thomas was in front. His main competition in this race would come from Brian Wentzel. The pill draw gave Wentzel a 13th starting spot for the feature.

Brian Wentzel entered the top five on lap four. Following a sixth-lap restart Wentzel advanced to third. Two laps later Wentzel took second position from Ed Hollenbach.

Kevin Thomas had a secure lead although Wentzel was narrowing the gap. Wentzel's big break came with a lap 13 caution flag. Thomas was able to hold off Wentzel. Thomas completed his sweep with a five-length victory over Wentzel. Ed Hollenbach, Ronnie Buck and Nick Ruhl completed the top five.

This show completes the 2009 Saturday Night Series at Williams Grove Speedway. The banquet will be held November 14 at the Radisson Penn Harris in Camp Hill. All banquet tickets must be purchased this week.

TWIN 20s FOR SPORTSMAN IN OCTOBER 30 WILLIAMS GROVE FINALE

MECHANICSBURG, PA -- The final racing event on the 2009 schedule at Williams Grove Speedway is set for Friday evening, October 30. The super sportsman division will be in the spotlight with twin 20-lap features on tap. The topless 358 c.i. late models, street stocks and 4-cylinder stock cars will be on the card. A makeup feature for the 4-cylinders will also be presented. The first heat is scheduled to start at 7:00. Only the 4-cylinder drivers will be racing for points on October 30.

Brian Wentzel has a 50-point lead over Kevin Thomas in the John Wentzel’s Body Shop 4-cylinder standings with John Stoll, Ed Hollenbach and Eric Hollenbach still in the hunt. Carmen Perigo has wrapped up the Tool Shed of America title in the super sportsman division dethroning perennial champion Frankie Herr by 220 points.

FALL FEST CANCELLED -- SPORTSMAN TWIN 20s FRIDAY OCTOBER 30

MECHANICSBURG, PA -- Rain forced cancellation of the Fall Fest at Williams Grove Speedway on Saturday, October 24. With the speedway grounds saturated by rain, which began on Friday evening then continued through Friday night and Saturday morning, the decision to cancel the program was made shortly after noon with the forecast of more wet weather to continue into the evening hours. At this late date the Fall Fest can not be rescheduled, which brings the season to a soggy conclusion for the sprint car and 358 c.I. sprint teams. The last three sprint car dates all fell victim to rain. Saturday night’s cancellation was the 20th race date lost to inclement weather during the 2009 season. That number represents a new track record for cancellations in a single season. The previous record was eighteen set one year ago. One more race date remains on the Williams Grove Speedway schedule. On Friday evening, October 30, twin 20-lap features for super sportsman cars will highlight the 4-division program. The 358 c.i. late models will be racing topless for this season-ending event. The street stocks and 4-cylinder stock cars will also be on the card. In addition to their regularly scheduled program, the 4-cylinders will compete in a makeup feature postponed on October 10. Friday night’s season finale is set to start at 7:00.

FALL FEST SATURDAY OCTOBER 24 AT WILLIAMS GROVE

MECHANICSBURG, PA -- The Williams Grove sprint cars will make their final appearance of the 2009 racing season at the speedway’s annual Fall Fest on Saturday evening, October 24. Racing is scheduled to begin at 7:00. The Fall Fest will include feature races for the top four divisions which compete regularly at Williams Grove Speedway. There will be no time trials, heats, consolation races or B-Mains for any of the divisions at this invitational event. The top 24 drivers in the point standings for sprint cars, 358 c.i. sprints, super sportsman cars and 358 c.i. late models will be invited to compete. A draw for inversion will set the lineups for each feature. The sprint car feature will be 25 laps in distance. Each of the other three features will be 20 laps. If any of the top 24 drivers in any of the four divisions are unable to compete, alternates will be added to the field. The Fall Fest began in 2001 and Todd Shaffer was the winner in the sprint car division. Since that time Greg Hodnett became the man to beat, winning four consecutive races in 2002, 2003, 2004 and 2006 before Lucas Wolfe stopped his streak in 2007. The Fall Fest was cancelled in 2005 and 2008. Only the sprint car division has been a part of all previous Fall Fests, which have included various other racing divisions since 2001. The Williams Grove racing season does not end with the Fall Fest. On Friday, October 30, twin 20-lap features for the super sportsman division will highlight a program which will also include 358 c.i. late models, street stocks and 4-cylinder stock cars.

TODD SHAFFER IS WILLIAMS GROVE CHAMPION JIM AND SANDY KLINE TOP OWNERS

MECHANICSBURG, PA -- Todd Shaffer is the 2009 Sutliff Auto Group sprint car champion at Williams Grove Speedway. Shaffer won the opening night feature on March 20 and never relinquished the point lead. It was the third title for the Millerstown veteran, who also earned track championships in 1995 and again in 2007. Shaffer won three of the first five features at Williams Grove this year, then used consistent performances throughout the season to clinch the championship. Although Shaffer won the driving championship, Jim and Sandy Kline, who fielded the car driven by Greg Hodnett, were car owner champions. While Hodnett was in Knoxville, Iowa, for the sprint car Nationals Dale Hammaker drove a Kline car at Williams Grove. Hammaker finished 16th in the feature that night, but scored enough points to allow the Klines to win the championship. Hodnett settled for a second place tie with Mark Smith, 90 points behind Shaffer. The Klines finished a mere 40 points ahead of Shaffer’s car owners, Gary and Patti Beam. It was the second owner’s title for the Klines, having won with Fred Rahmer in their car in 2006. In the Coliseum-sponsored 358 division, Cory Haas won an unprecedented fourth championship. He scored three victories along the way which pushed his career total to 14 and moved him into a 4-way tie for the division’s career win lead. Haas is tied with Pat Cannon, Chad Layton and Mike Lehman. Although no more point races remain on the 2009 Grove schedule, both the sprint cars and 358s will join the super sportsman and 358 c.i. late models in the non-point Fall Fest on Saturday, October 24. Racing is scheduled to begin at 7:00.

Final Sutliff Auto Group Sprint Car Point Standings: 1. Todd Shaffer 5160, 2.(tie) Greg Hodnett, Mark Smith 5070, 4.Brian Montieth 5020, 5. Fred Rahmer 4770, 6. Cody Darrah 4320, 7. Brian Leppo 4165, 8. Chad Layton 3860, 9. Mike Erdley 3835, 10. Daryn Pittman 3765.

INCLEMENT WEATHER CANCELS FRIDAY AND SATURDAY RACING

MECHANICSBURG, PA -- Inclement weather has forced cancellation of the entire weekend of racing on Friday, October 16, and Saturday, October 17, at Williams Grove Speedway. An all-day rain on Friday forced officials to cancel the sprint car and 358 c.i. sprint racing program scheduled for October 16. With more wet weather and unseasonably cold temperatures forecast for Saturday, the October 17 card of super sportsman, 358 c.I. late model, street stock and 4-cylinder racing was also cancelled.

SATURDAY NIGHT SERIES CHAMPIONS NIGHT OCTOBER 17

MECHANICSBURG, PA -- October 17 will be Champions Night for all four divisions in the Saturday Night Series at Williams Grove Speedway. At the conclusion of Saturday night’s program, the 2009 champions will be named for the super sportsman class along with the 358 c.I. late models, street stocks and 4-cylinder stock cars. All four divisions will be in competition on October 17 and racing is scheduled to begin at 7:00. Carmen Perigo is in position to dethrone Frankie Herr as the Tool Shed of America super sportsman champion. Ironically both Perigo and Herr are still seeking their first victories of the season in sportsman competition at Williams Grove, but are running 1-2 in the standings heading into the final points race. In the 358 c.I. late model division, two drivers have dominated victory lane this year and are first and second in the A. J.’s Truck and Trailer standings. Gene Knaub is the current point leader and is a 5-time feature winner at the Grove this year, while runnerup Bobby Beard has won three times. Kory Sites will carry an insurmountable lead into Champions Night in the L. B. Smith Ford street stock standings. Sites has won four of eight features this season en route to another championship. The 4-cylinder stock car championship will also be decided this week and with two features on the card for this division at least five drivers could emerge with the John Wentzel’s Body Shop title. The sportsman cars and SNS late models will be part of the annual Fall Fest coming up on October 24. The Grove’s sprint cars and 358 c.I. sprints will also be in competition at this “features only” invitational event. The Saturday Night Series participants will close the racing season at Williams Grove on Friday evening, October 30, with twin 20-lap features for the super sportsman cars. The 358 c.I. late models, street stocks and 4-cylinders will also be on the card.

CHAMPIONS NIGHT AT THE GROVE OCTOBER 16

MECHANICSBURG, PA -- Champions Night is set for Williams Grove Speedway on Friday evening, October 16. Both the sprint cars and 358 c.i. sprints will be on the card and the champions in each division will be announced following the feature events. The first heat is scheduled to start at 7:30. The sprint car division will have four drivers mathematically in contention for the Sutliff Auto Group track championship. Todd Shaffer, who has led the point race since opening night, has Greg Hodnett, Mark Smith and Brian Montieth chasing him right down to the wire. The Sutliff title will be worth $20,000 to the championship team. Shaffer is seeking a third crown, having won in 1995 and again in 2007. Hodnett, Smith and Montieth have never won a championship at Williams Grove. Shaffer holds a 90 point advantage over Hodnett and Smith who are tied for second place. Montieth is 140 points behind Shaffer in fourth place. In the Coliseum-sponsored 358 division Cory Haas is in position to wrap up his fourth title in this decade, having won in 2003, `05 and `06. Scott Geesey is the current 358 runner-up. While Friday night will end the points races, the top drivers from both divisions will have one more race date at Williams Grove in 2009. On Saturday evening, October 24, the Fall Fest will be presented. The Fall Fest will be a features only invitational event for sprint cars, 358 c.i. sprints, super sportsman cars and 358 c.i. late models. The Fall Fest is scheduled to begin at 7:00.

Doug Hendricks, Gene Knaub and Kory Sites Win Williams Grove Speedway Features

Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania

"I'd run them every week," said a jubilant Doug Hendricks following his victory in the Williams Grove Speedway Saturday night 20-lap Tool Sheds of America Super Sportsman feature. Super Sportsman without the wing on top - that is the "them" referred to by Hendricks. For the only time this season the Super Sportsman teams removed the aero device from their machines.

While some of the teams and drivers struggled to find a comfortable line around the Williams Grove half-mile of clay, Hendricks was fast from the very start. Car owner Harry Nunmacher provided Hendricks with a machine that ran perfect all night. It was perfect to the point that Hendricks, the 2008 Super Sportsman Tour Rookie of the Year, led every lap of the feature.

Doug Hendricks, by luck of the draw, started on the pole for the 20-lap main event. Hendricks sprinted into the lead followed by Ryan Rupp and Jay Fannasy. While Hendricks and Rupp drove away from the field a stellar battle began for third featuring Jason Fry, Joey Biasi and Rick Barr and Carmen Perigo Jr. Through the first 11-laps of the feature Fry, Biasi, Barr and Perigo continued their battle for third.

The complexion of the race took a big turn on lap-12 when Ryan Rupp had a hard turn three crash. The race was stopped while track officials checked on Rupp. Rupp, the 2008 winner of the Williams Grove wingless race, walked away from his incident.

The restart saw Doug Hendricks continue his fast pace. While Hendricks maintained his lead, Carmen Perigo Jr. charged into second followed by Joey Biasi, Scott Dellinger and Bobby Hockenberry. Hendricks, from Cressona, held an eight-length edge over Perigo until a lap-16 yellow slowed the field.

The final four-laps found Perigo giving chase, trying to catch the silver No. 80 of Hendricks. While Perigo was in pursuit of the lead, Joey Biasi, Scott Dellinger and Bobby Hockenberry were having a spirited fight for third.

Doug Hendricks ended his perfect night by winning his first 2009 Williams Grove Speedway feature four-lengths in front of Perigo, Biasi, Dellinger and Hockenberry.

"The guys behind me (his pit crew) they do all the work. I am just the guy that gets behind the wheel and drives it. Tonight it was real easy to drive," said Hendricks.

The heat wins for the 30 wingless Super Sportsman went to Biasi, Hendricks and Dellinger. The consolation race was won by David Socks III.

If Doug Hendricks had a perfect night then 358 Late Model driver Gene Knaub found Eden. Knaub, from Dover, won both ends of the A.J.'s Truck and Trailer Center 358 Late Model double header.

The first 358 Late Model 20-lap feature was a make-up event from the rained-out Tri-Track championship race. In the first feature it was Craig Wagaman jumping into the lead trailed by Bernie Beard and Brian Lessley. Gene Knaub started the first race in ninth and was fourth at the end of lap one. On lap two Knaub passed Lessley for third.

The top four cars driven by Wagaman, Bernie Beard, Knaub and Bobby Beard were racing in tight formation around the half-mile. With seven-laps remaining Gene Knaub made his move to the front. He first passed Bernie Beard for second. Two laps later Knaub executed a perfect slide job at the exit of turn four to take the lead from Wagaman.

Once in front Gene Knaub drove away from the pack. Knaub won his career ninth at Williams Grove ten-lengths in front of Wagaman, Mike Walls, Bernie Beard and Shaun Jones. Knaub gained enough points to win the Tri-Track Series and he picked up an extra $500 for the victory.

Roy Miller led the opening lap of the second 20-lap feature, with Travis Mease and Mike Walls giving chase. This was a case of déjà vu to the tenth degree. Just like the first feature Gene Knaub started in ninth position. And, just like the first feature, Knaub was fourth by the end of the opening circuit.

Following a fifth-lap restart Mike Walls took the lead from Roy Miller. Travis Mease then advanced to second and Gene Knaub into third. Walls drove away from the field and had an enormous lead. While Walls was way out in front, Knaub took second from Mease.

With eight-laps remaining the engine developed a miss in the Walls No. 1W. Over the next several laps the engine began to lose power and Gene Knaub was rapidly closing. With five-laps remaining Knaub caught the struggling leader. On lap 17 Knaub used the outside line in turn four to pass Walls for the lead. Walls then retired his ailing machine to the pits.

The race was brought under red flag conditions on the final lap due to a large pile-up on the back stretch. The restart found Knaub in front with Bobby Beard racing in second. Knaub closed out his perfect night winning by four-lengths over Beard, Mike Collins, Mease and Miller.

"I thought Mikey (Mike Walls) got us," said winner Gene Knaub. "Hats off to him he drove a pretty good race there. I think he had mechanical problems. He was running well, I don't know if I had anything for him or not."

Collins, Roy Miller, Knaub and Gene Wrightstone won the heat races for the 39 358 Late Models. Shaun Jones and Josh Kimmel claimed the twin consolation races.

Kory Sites, from Mechanicsburg, won the 15-lap Street Stock feature. In a very uncharacteristic rough race for the class, Kory Sites won the feature after a wild final-lap battle with Doug Hoffman.

It took four restarts to begin the Street Stock feature. Jim Gross held the lead on the first lap. On lap two it was Doug Hoffman gaining the lead with Gross, Kevin Wirt, Kory Sites and Todd Bowersox giving chase.

With Hoffman's blue No. 27 in the lead, he had several contenders close behind. Kevin Wirt and Kory Sites were fighting for second. On the fifth-lap Sites moved into second.

Hoffman and Sites pulled away from the field until the No. 7P of Jim Palm broke free of traffic. Palm, in his first start of the year, caught the leaders.

A lap-13 caution set up the final confrontation. Hoffman, Sites and Palm were nose-to-tail on the final lap. In turn one Hoffman suddenly slowed sending Sites and Palm into evasive routes. Sites was able to pull even with Hoffman on the back stretch. Two-thirds of the way down the back stretch there was contact between the two lead cars. Sites raced into the lead in turn three. Kory Sites raced back to the finish line to just edge out Hoffman and Palm. Kevin Wirt finished in fourth and Chad Smith took fifth position.

David Walsh, Sites and Bob Gutshall captured the heat wins for the 26 Street Stocks.

Due to the curfew, the Four-Cylinder feature was postponed to this coming Saturday night. This race will be the first event on the Saturday night card. Brian Wentzel and Kevin Thomas won the qualifying races for the 18 Four Cylinders.

This Saturday night at Williams Grove Speedway, along with the make-up Four Cylinder feature, there will be the Super Sportsman, 358 late Models, Street Stocks and Four Cylinders in action. This will be the final point race of the season. Racing begins at seven.

STEVIE SMITH SCORES SECOND CAREER KENNY WELD MEMORIAL WIN; Watson reclaims thundercar track title from Sam Gallagher with seventh victory of 2009

ABBOTTSTOWN, PA , 10/10/09 - Stevie Smith capped off a sensational season by dominating the 13th Annual Kenny Weld Memorial at Lincoln Speedway Saturday night. The New Oxford native now residing in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma grabbed the lead from his outside front row starting spot and led every lap of the non-stop 40-lap event, crossing 6.5 seconds ahead of the rest of the field. Lincoln had been about the only place Smith had run but not won in 2009. Adding lap money and prize money from qualifying events, Smith's 23rd career win in the Pigeon Hills was worth $6,925. "This is what I wanted to end up the year with," said Smith upon exiting the Zemitis/Zemco Headers #1 in victory lane, "I thought it was a really good year, I was really proud of these guys, and I wanted to end up with a win. This is our last race for the year and it's good to go into the winter with." Although Smith entered lapped traffic on lap nine and drove away from the rest of the field, there was thrilling wheel-to-wheel action in behind. Once fifth-starting Brian Leppo got around fourth-starting Greg Hodnett for third on lap 14, Leppo and polesitter Jim Siegel battled for the runner-up spot the rest of the way. The two passed each other several times for second in heavy lapped traffic through the middle stages of the race. Siegel was scored second through lap 21, Leppo was the runner-up from laps 22 through 31, Siegel reclaimed second for laps 33 through 39, and Leppo edged Siegel for second at the wire. Hodnett and eighth-starting Cory Haas raced for position over the second half of the race and crossed fourth and fifth, respectively. Fred Rahmer won the D&D Septic hard-charger award for coming from 18th starting spot to finish sixth, with fast timer Mark Smith, Lance Dewease, Alan Krimes, and Chad Layton completing the top ten. Johnny Mackison, Jr., the only car which dropped out of the feature, received the $100 hard luck award from D&D Septic. Josh Wells, who finished 12th, received a $500 bonus for being the first car across the finish line using Weld Tech cylinder heads. For the first time in recent memory, it was a caution-less night, with all 410 sprint car events (time trials, heats, B-Main, and Weld Memorial event) all going non-stop. Sprint heats were won by Brian Montieth, Fred Rahmer, Steve Buckwalter, and Danny Dietrich, with Tim Glatfelter winning the B-Main. Fast time in time trials over the 32-car field was set by Mark Smith with a one-lap time of 13.126-seconds (102.849 MPH).

Abbottstown's Duane Watson came from tenth starting spot to win the 20-lap thundercar feature, and in doing so, claimed his second Lincoln title in three years. Coming into the final evening, Watson trailed the defending champion Sam Gallagher by a mere five points. And the only position that could guarantee him the championship was the top spot. And that's exactly what Watson did. Watson charged from his 10th starting spot into the top-five by the second lap. Moved into third by the third lap, and into second behind race-long leader Mikey Guise on the fourth lap. Watson got around Guise for the lead on the ninth lap as Gallagher was clawing his way to the front in fifth. As the laps wound down Gallagher began to close on the leaders. But contact between Gallagher and Will Walls battling for second place on the 18th lap sent Walls spinning and Gallagher to the rear. With that, Watson ran out in front the final laps to pick up his seventh win of 2009 and the 2009 Lincoln Speedway Thundercar Track Championship. The win was Watson's 27th career Thundercar victory moving him into a third place tie with Steve Clabaugh and Craig Wagaman on the all-time win list. Guise finished 1.23 seconds behind in second for his best run of the year with Jimmy Combs coming from 14th to finish third. Danny Beard finished fourth and Gino Comi fifth. Completing the top-10 were Justin Mong, Mike Slaybaugh, Josh Ulrich, Larry Niederer, and Will Walls. Heats for the 21 thundercars were won by Tom Walls, Mikey Guise, and Sam Gallagher. Sam Gallagher led all five laps of the Dash for Cash at the end of the night to pick up an additional $350 and he set a new five lap track record in the process of one minute 40.45-seconds.

JAMIE LATHROUM BEATS THE RAIN TO WIN LATE MODEL MAKEUP

MECHANICSBURG, PA -- Rain struck Williams Grove Speedway again on Friday night, but not before the makeup 25-lap late model feature was completed. That race was originally postponed because of rain on March 27, and Friday night was the first time the late models were scheduled with the sprint cars since that time. Jamie Lathroum won the late model feature and just as his victory lane interview was completed, the first drops began to fall. After a 45-minute wait the rain began to fall harder and the remainder of the program was cancelled. It was the 17th date lost to the weather at Williams Grove this season. The final point races in the sprint car and 358 c.i. sprint divisions will be presented on October 16 beginning at 7:30. D. J. Myers took the lead at the start of Friday’s late model feature with Lathroum, who started alongside him on the front row, running in second place. Lathroum found the outside cushion to his liking and drove by Myers exiting the second corner on lap seven. Once in front he began to pull away. Lathroum was masterful in lapped traffic, but Myers stayed within striking distance. A caution with three laps left gave Myers one more chance, but Lathroum would not be denied his first career victory at Williams Grove. Myers settled for second, 1.23 seconds off the pace. Jason Covert charged from the 13th starting position to finish third. Gary Stuhler came from 12th to finish fourth and Alan Sagi completed the top five. Bryan Bernheisel. Mike Lupfer, Tyler Armstrong, Randy Burkholder and Billy Wampler finished in positions six through ten respectively. Williams Grove Speedway Feature Finish - October 9, 2009

TOPLESS SPORTSMAN CARS PLUS TWO LATE MODEL FEATURES OCT. 10

MECHANICSBURG, PA -- The Saturday Night Series returns to Williams Grove Speedway on October 10 with special attractions in both the sportsman and 358 c.I. late model divisions. The sportsman cars will race without wings for the first and only time this season. Removing the aluminum air foils should provide plenty of excitement as the sportsman teams search for the proper setup, which will undoubtedly be quite different from that which is used throughout the season when wings are permitted. A non-wing race was scheduled for the sportsman cars earlier this season, but it fell victim to rain on July 11. Rain has also set up a big night for the SNS late model division this week. With the field filled on August 1, rain prevented the running of the late model feature. Several attempts to reschedule that race have also been foiled by rain, so speedway officials will try again this week to make up that long awaited feature event. Following the make up feature a complete program of qualifying races and another feature will be on the card for the late model drivers, who are overdue for some racing at Williams Grove. The late models have only completed one program since June 26, because of those rainy Saturday nights. The Saturday Night Series has been rained out of five of its last seven scheduled dates and six of its last nine. Hopefully the sun will shine on October 10 when the street stocks and 4-cylinder stock cars will also be on the card. Racing is scheduled to begin at 7:00. October 17 will be the final point race for the Saturday Night Series competitors. A non-point date, which will feature twin 20-lap features for the sportsman division, has been added for Friday, October 30, and will also include 358 c.I. late models, street stocks and 4-cylinder stock cars.

SPRINTS AND LATE MODELS PLUS LATE MODEL MAKEUP OCT. 9

MECHANICSBURG, PA -- The powerful super late model stock cars return to Williams Grove Speedway on Friday evening, October 9, with two feature payoffs awaiting some of the top stock car drivers in the East. The Williams Grove sprint cars will co-star in this special event which is scheduled to start at 7:30. The bonus feature for the late model fans is due to a rain shortened event on March 27. With the sprint car feature concluded and the late model feature field filled, rain forced postponement of the final race. October 9 was the only other night that the late models were scheduled with the sprint cars, so after 6 ½ months the long awaited feature can finally be run. Weather permitting, of course. Some of the top late model drivers who are qualified for the makeup feature include Gary Stuhler, Jason Covert, Jamie Lathroum, D. J. Myers, Jeff Rine, Roy Deese, Scotty Haas, Tyler Armstrong, Tyler Hershey, Nick Dickson, Scott LeBarron and Les Hare. Only one Sutliff Auto Group point race remains for the Grove sprint car competitors following this week’s event. With $20,000 going to the championship team and substantial money at stake for other top finishers in the point race, this Friday night will be of major importance to the speedway’s sprint car regulars. Championship Night is set for Friday, October 16, when the sprint car and Coliseum 358 c.I. sprint champions will be crowned at the conclusion of their respective feature events. The only other race featuring sprint cars on the Grove’s 2009 calendar will be the Fall Fest on Saturday evening, October 24. This will be a “ features only“ invitational event for sprint cars, 358 c.I., sprints, super sportsman cars and 358 c.I. late models.

NATIONAL OPEN TO GREG HODNETT -- SUMMER NATIONALS TO CODY DARRAH

MECHANICSBURG, PA -- Greg Hodnett has made a practice of winning big races this season, but Saturday night at Williams Grove Speedway the Memphis transplant won the biggest race of his career. Hodnett led all 40 laps to win the Morgan Hughes National Open presented by Cleveland Brothers and earned $50,000 for his performance. It was the third consecutive time that Hodnett has defeated the stars of the World of Outlaws at Williams Grove Speedway this season. Hodnett started on the pole and drove away from Brian Montieth during the early stages of the race. WoO point leader Donny Schatz moved into the runnerup spot on lap ten after starting fourth and began to chase Hodnett. Schatz, who was seeking an unprecedented fifth National Open victory, tried the inside and the outside to get by Hodnett, but the 40-year old Thomasville resident was up to the challenge. Hodnett continued to change his lines nearly every lap in an effort to keep Schatz guessing. Some drama occurred on the last lap when a three car crash caused a red flag and gave Schatz new life. Hodnett was not to be denied on this night, however, as he rolled to the richest and most prestigious of his 42 career victories at Williams Grove. Schatz settled for second with Jason Meyers third and Fred Rahmer, who started 18th, finishing fourth. Danny Lasoski, Pat Cannon, Joey Saldana, Steve Kinser, Mark Smith and Alan Krimes completed the top ten. Cannon set fast time in qualifications with a lap of 16.368, which was the fastest recorded lap of the season at Williams Grove. Heats for the 60 cars in competition were won by Meyers, Lasoski, :Paul McMahan and Jac Haudenschild. A. J. Michael won the D-Main, Rick Lafferty the C and Brian Leppo the B. The Crane Cams Dash was claimed by Hodnett. The Cleveland Brothers Summer Nationals finale, rained out on July 25 and again on Friday night, was also completed on Saturday and Cody Darrah led all 30 laps to score a $20,000 victory. It was the third victory of the season for Darrah, 20, of Red Lion and the richest of his promising career. Darrah also completed a 4-0 season sweep by the Williams Grove regulars, known as the Pennsylvania Posse, in defense of their home turf in competition with the World of Outlaws touring professionals. Joey Saldana settled for second with Lance Dewease third, Danny Lasoski fourth and Steve Kinser fifth. Donny Schatz drove from the 22nd starting position to a sixth place finish. Keith Kauffman, Jason Meyers, Sammy Swindell and Fred Rahmer finished in positions six through ten respectively. Darrah won the Crane Cams Dash which was also rained out on July 25.

FRIDAY: RAIN EXTENDS NATIONAL OPEN WEEKEND

MECHANICSBURG, PA -- Rain forced Friday night’s racing program at Williams Grove Speedway to be postponed. The new schedule shows qualifying for the Morgan Hughes National Open presented by Cleveland Brothers set to begin at 7:15 on Saturday evening, October 3. Time trials will be followed by a D-Main, heats, a C-main, a dash, a B-main and the 40-lap National Open sanctioned by the World of Outlaws. The main event will pay $50,000 to win. Following the National Open, the dash and the Summer Nationals 30-lap main event will also be run on Saturday night. The Summer Nationals feature, which was rained out in July, will pay $20,000 to win. The rain date for Saturday night is Sunday at 7:15. If Saturday night’s program is run as planned, then the World of Outlaws event, which was rained out on Friday night, will be run on the scheduled Sunday night rain date beginning at 7:15. In the event that weather should cause the National Open to be run on Sunday, then Friday night’s program will be cancelled and refunds will be made to the ticket holders. With 54 cars in the pit area, rain began to fall just as slow warmups were being completed. Track crews attempted to dry the speedway after the rain stopped, but another shower arrived at 9:50 causing the program to be postponed.

CLEVELAND BROTHERS NATIONAL OPEN AT WILLIAMS GROVE OCT. 2-3

MECHANICSBURG, PA -- One of sprint car racing’s richest and most prestigious events, the Cleveland Brothers National Open, is set for October 2-3 at Williams Grove Speedway. Steeped in tradition the 37th annual National Open will bring the top sprint car drivers in America to the historic Mechanicsburg half-mile, lured by the $50,000 payoff, which goes to the winner of Saturday night’s main event. The entire weekend purse is a record $225,350. While a victory in the National Open may not be a guaranteed ticket to the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame, it certainly won’t hurt a driver’s chances. No less than eleven former winners are currently enshrined with several recent winners sure to be inducted as soon as they become eligible. Steve Kinser of Bloomington, Indiana, and Donny Schatz of Fargo, North Dakota, are the only 4-time winners and either driver is capable of an unprecedented fifth victory on October 3. Kenny Weld, Steve Smith, Doug Wolfgang and Lance Dewease have each won the race three times and Dewease should also be a contender again this year. In addition to Kinser, Schatz and Dewease, other former winners who are expected to enter the National Open include Stevie Smith, Don Kreitz, Jr., Sammy Swindell and defending champion Cody Darrah. The National Open has been the biggest sprint car event in Pennsylvania since Gordon Johncock won the inaugural event in 1963 before going on to twice win the Indianapolis 500. But several of Pennsylvania’s most successful drivers have been shut out of the National Open’s victory lane. Legendary names such as Mitch Smith and Jan Opperman are among that group. More recent stars such as Keith Kauffman, Fred Rahmer, Greg Hodnett and Todd Shaffer will be seeking their first National Open trophy this week. Qualifying for Friday’s program, which will include the rained out $20,000-to-win Summer Nationals finale, begins at 7:15. Time trials are scheduled for 7:30 on Saturday. There will be a fireworks display each night.

SELINSGROVE SPEEDWAY & HOOSIER RACING TIRE EXTEND AGREEMENT THROUGH 2012 SEASON

SELINSGROVE, Pa. – Selinsgrove Speedway and Hoosier Racing Tire of Lakeville, Ind., entered into an agreement that will name Hoosier as the exclusive racing tire for the speedway’s 358 sprint car, late model, pro stock, and roadrunner divisions through the 2012 season.

CORY HAAS WINS 410 CAREER FIRST IN LINCOLN SPEEDWAY HANK GENTZLER MEMORIAL; Will Walls wins Thundercar Thriller

ABBOTTSTOWN, PA , 9/27/09 - Cory Haas had led his fair share of laps over the past season and a half at Lincoln Speedway. But the Dallastown driver could never bring home that elusive career first 410 Sprint car win. Sunday night, Haas was right on the money as he captured that first career win in the 25-lap Hank Gentzler Memorial on Manufacturer's Night at the Pigeon Hills oval. The race was rescheduled after being rained out Saturday night. "This sure makes getting up at 5:30 AM tomorrow morning feel pretty good," said Haas, who held off a final lap challenge from Daryn Pittman to score the win by a mere .0257 seconds. "I saw his nose under me on the white flag lap and there was a lapped car there and I thought he was going to have to make one heck of a move to get between me and the lapped car...it all worked out." Haas started fourth in the feature and moved into second at the start behind race leader Danny Dietrich, who beat fellow front row starter Cody Darrah into turn one. Darrah nearly spun out and fell back to the 10th position. Mark Smith's car slowed on lap three as Dietrich continued to set the pace as Adam Wilt took the runner-up spot from Haas on six laps complete. Wilt was all over Dietrich for the lead and briefly took the spot with a pass in turn two on lap 10 but Dietrich led at the line only to have Wilt try to steal the lead in turn one and spinning out. Haas pulled a slider on Dietrich on the restart to grab the lead as Dietrich's great run came to an end when he stopped to bring out a yellow flag. Haas assumed command with Daryn Pittman and Darrah following on the restart. Pittman stayed with Haas for a few laps but Haas eventually started to pull away. With slower cars coming into play over the final few laps, Pittman was able to gain on Haas but fell short at the checkered flag. "I almost didn't win it because I got my wing back too far at the end and it started pushing in the corner," he said. "I know Daryn was there and you know what kind of driver he is...he's one of the best around and I just didn't want to make any mistakes." Haas became the 15th different winner this season aboard the Embee & Sons, Inc, York P B Truss, Tailgaters, Michael Barshinger Builder No. 11C. "The cautions really helped us tonight," Haas said. "We let a couple slip away here over the last year and a half and I didn't want to let this one get away. I'm very happy to win the Hank's race, it's really something special and I appreciate everything Denise does with this race." Pittman was second over Darrah, Brian Leppo, Lance Dewease, 21st starting Fred Rahmer, Aaron Ott, 2009 track champion Brian Montieth, Jim Siegel and Greg Hodnett. Heats for the 33 "410" Sprints were won by Wilt, Lance Dewease, Aaron Ott and Dietrich, with Fred Rahmer winning the consolation. Heat races were sponsored by David Cassel, Brown & Miller Racing Solutions and York Excavating Co. Brian Leppo paced the time trial session with a lap of 14.410 seconds. Cody Darrah earned $400 for his win in the Wings Unlimited 6-lap Dash. All 24 drivers who qualified for the feature event were presented with packages for the Manufacturer's Night festivities. All packages were worth at least $2,000. Denise Gentzler of Hank's Performance Products was instrumental in obtaining the product sponsorship for the drivers.

Will Walls came out on top of a thrilling 20 lap thundercar feature after a three-wide battle over the final few laps. Walls, who started 9th, took the lead from his brother Brian on lap 18 and held off track points leader Sam Gallagher for his fourth win of the season. Gallagher, Brian Walls, Al Crammer and Gino Comi were the top five finishers. Heats for the 23 Thundercars were won by Danny Beard, Brad Shank and Brian Walls.

Next Saturday Lincoln Speedway will have the night off as Williams Grove hosts its Annual National Open. The following Saturday night, October 10th at 6 PM, Lincoln Speedway will host the 13th Annual Kenny Weld Memorial for the Lawrence Chevrolet 410 Sprints. The Thundercars will round out the night's racing action with their final event of 2009 which will determine their 2009 champion.

Williams Grove Speedway - September 25, 2009

FREDDIE IS STILL FAST AT THE GROVE -- 358s TO CORY HAAS

MECHANICSBURG, PA -- Fred Rahmer used a bold last turn pass to score an impressive victory in the 25-lap sprint car feature Friday night at Williams Grove Speedway and served notice that he must be considered a threat for the upcoming National Open. Steve Buckwalter took the lead at the start and worked the outside cushion to perfection as he opened a substantial lead over the field. Rahmer started seventh and was third at the end of the first lap. He drove by Doug Dodson on lap four and began his pursuit of the leader. Buckwalter was able to maintain a lead of more than a half straightaway until Rahmer found some speed during the final three laps. Entering turn three on the last lap Rahmer shot to the inside and drove by Buckwalter exiting the final turn to score his second victory of the season. Rahmer earned $3510 including a $500 bonus for winning the race from the seventh starting position. It was the 81st career victory for the speedway's all-time win leader. Buckwalter, who fell just a car length short of his first Grove victory, earned $2040 for his second place finish in his best effort of the year. Dodson was third, a career best for him. Alan Krimes and Aaron Ott completed the top five, followed by Brent Marks, Daryn Pittman, Brian Montieth, Greg Hodnett and Mark Smith. Heats for the 32 sprint cars in competition were won by Buckwalter, Marks, Montieth and Krimes. Chad Layton won the consolation race.

In 358 c.i. competition Cory Haas started 12th, took the lead on lap 14 and rolled to his third win of the season. The victory, the 14th for Haas, moved him into a 4-way tie for first place on the all-time 358 division win list, and gave him a substantial lead in the Coliseum point race with one event remaining. Nicole Bower, Billy Johns, Scott Geesey and Danny Massey rounded out the top five. Kyle Moody, Massey, Logan Schuchart, and Nate Hammaker won 358 c.i. sprint car heats. Matt Heimbach and Eric Tomecek claimed the consolation races. Williams Grove Spedway Feature Finishes - September 25, 2009

MECHANICSBURG, PA -- On Friday evening, September 25, the sprint car racers at Williams Grove Speedway will have a final opportunity to dial-in their cars for National Open weekend coming up October 2-3.

DELLINGER CLAIMS FIRST LAWRENCE CHEVROLET SPORTSMAN 100 WIN; Watson edges Gallagher in thundercar main; Korey Sites takes street stock feature

ABBOTTSTOWN, PA , 9/19/09 -Those who attended the 35th running of the "Lawrence Chevrolet Sportsman 100" at Lincoln Speedway Saturday night will remember it for a long time to come. So will Scott Dellinger, who finally found victory lane for the first time this year and claimed the $4,000 top prize in super sportsman racing's most prestigious event. Dellinger started ninth and raced wheel-to-wheel with fellow competitors before moving into the top five on lap 18. Dellinger caught Mike Enders for fourth a lap later, and was still running there when third-starting Frankie Herr took the lead from second-starting and race-long leader Rich Eichelberger in turns three and four of lap 24. Four laps later, Eichelberger clipped a lapped car while still running second and spun in turns three and four, bringing out the caution. He tagged the rear of the field for the restart. Herr drove away from the field until losing a wheel in turns three and four of lap 34, striking the outside wall and ending his bid to become the first driver to win five "Sportsman 100s". That handed the lead over to polesitter Leroy Martin, who found himself in front for the first time on the night. Martin paced the field until lap 61, when 21st-starting Carmen Perigo, Jr. completed his run through the field to grab the lead exiting turn four. Four laps later, disaster struck for Perigo, as he broke a front axle on the front stretch, bringing out the mandatory red flag on lap 66. Perigo was able to make repairs during the 10-minute break, but the lead again belonged to Martin when the race resumed. Martin led the next 22 laps before Dellinger made the race-winning pass entering turn one of lap 88. Russ Mitten came from 11th-starting spot to catch Martin for second on lap 94, and Carmen Perigo completed an amazing run by passing Mitten for second on lap 97. Perigo, who set fast time, bicycled while leading and failed to qualify in his heat, won the consi, and came from the back twice to finish second in the "Sportsman 100" for the fourth time in his career. Mitten settled for third, with Martin fourth and Rich Eichelberger fifth. Completing the top ten were Mike Enders, 14th-starting Danny Hager, 16th-starting Rick Barr, 24th-starting Eric Eckert, and 18th-starting Raymond Myers.

Fast time in time trials over the 36-car super sportsman field was set by Perigo, with a one-lap time of 15.698-seconds (85.998 MPH). Sportsman heats were won by Rich Eichelberger, Gregg Foster, Doug Hendricks, and Frankie Herr, with Perigo winning the consolation.

Abbottstown's Duane Watson came from his 11th starting position to win his sixth race of 2009 in the 20-lap thundercar feature. Watson passed Will Walls for the lead on the 11th lap, but had to hold off his rival and defending track champion Sam Gallagher in a in one-lap shoot-out to increase his point lead over Gallagher to 20 points with only two races remaining. Will Walls, who took the lead from race-long leader Mikey Guise on the seventh lap, held on for third, with Gino Comi and Rick Weaver finishing fourth and fifth respectively. Completing the top-10 were Al Crammer, Justin Mong, Jamie Zentmyer, Tom Walls, and Jeff Wilson. Heats for the 22 Thundercars were won by Zentmyer, Gallagher, and Duane Watson.

Mechanicsbubrg's Korey Sites came from his 11th starting spot to take the lead under the crossed-flags from Bob Gutshall and drove away to his second win of the year in the 20-lap street stock feature. Gutshall settled for second with Dustin Hollinger, Steve Dove and Craig Morgan completing the top-five.

Next Saturday night, September 26th at 7 PM, Lincoln Speedway will once again host the Hank Gentzler Memorial Manufacturers Appreciation Race featuring the Lawrence Chevrolet 410 Sprints & Thundercars. Gates will open at 5 PM, with warm-ups at 6:30 PM, and Time trials getting underway at 7 PM.

DEWEASE WINS 410 SPRINT CAR OPEN AT SELINSGROVE SPEEDWAY

SELINSGROVE, Pa. -- Lance Dewease of Fayetteville led flag-to-flag for his $5,000 victory in Saturday night's 30-lap 27th Annual National Open for 410 sprint cars at Selinsgrove Speedway. The win was the 11th of his career at the half-mile oval, including a previous Open victory in 2002. Driving the Catoctin Motorsports/Advanced Development Services No. 30C, Dewease celebrated his fifth win overall in 2009.

Todd Shaffer of Millerstown, who shared the front row with Dewease for the start of the main event, was the night's fast qualifier with a lap time of 16.368 seconds. Shaffer was seeking his fifth career win in the Open, which would have tied him with Fred Rahmer of Salfordville as the only two drivers to win the track's marquee event five times, but his No. 88 erupted into flames from a blown engine on the backstretch with two laps remaining.

Jason Smith of Williamsport ended his championship season by capturing his sixth win of the season in the 15-lap pro stock feature.

Selinsgrove Speedway will conclude the 2009 racing season with the Ninth Annual Paul Stine Chevrolet Open for 358 sprint cars plus roadrunners and Tobias SpeedStrs at 7 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 26. Track gates will open at 5 p.m.

At the drop of the green flag, fourth-place starter Mark Smith made an exciting pass to take the lead at the start/finish line. By the time the field reached the first turn, however, second-place starter Lance Dewease throttled into the front spot with an inside pass by Smith. The caution flag unfurled on lap two when TJ Winegardner stopped his sprinter on the track.

On the ensuing restart, Dewease continued to set the pace with Smith, third-place starter Brian Leppo, polesitter Todd Shaffer, and fifth-place starter Pat Cannon in pursuit. By lap seven the field began to encounter slower traffic. At the midway point of the race, Leppo advanced to second and set his sites on Dewease in traffic. Two laps later, Cannon rocketed into third as a high-speed chase unfolded for the top five positions.

Sixth-place starter Greg Hodnett and 12th-place starter Cody Darrah began to show speed during the last 10 ten laps of the race as they entered into the top five. The suspense intensified as Leppo and Cannon began to reel in Dewease in lapped traffic in the final laps. At the finish, Dewease was victorious by a mere 1.3 seconds over Leppo, Cannon, Hodnett, and Darrah.

Cannon, a seven-time 358 sprint car winner at the track this season, turned in the fastest lap of the race on lap six with a time of 17.130 seconds.

Racing off of turn four to complete the first lap of the pro stock feature, third-place starter Jason Smith made an inside pass by polesitter John Heane to take the lead in the division's final race of the season.

Sixth-placed starter AJ Hoffman powered into the second position on the third circuit and reeled in Smith, while second-place starter Tim Krape raced in the third position. On the ninth lap, Hoffman's car developed a flat tire, allowing Krape to inherit the second position.

For the final six laps, Krape made every effort to find a way around Smith for the lead and win. At the finish, however, Smith persevered a posted a one-second margin of victory over Krape, Cody McFadden, Heane, and Matt Johnson.

ADAM WILT GETS SECOND SPRINT WIN -- 1ST 358 VICTORY FOR GEESEY

MECHANICSBURG, PA -- Adam Wilt won the 25-lap sprint car feature Friday night at Williams Grove Speedway and Scott Geesey won the 20-lap 358 c.i. sprint main. It was the second victory of the season for Wilt and he earned this one. Wilt took the lead from his front row starting spot and set the pace until Aaron Ott took over on lap eleven. At this point Fred Rahmer, who started eighth, was third. Ott lost power exiting turn two on lap 13. At that point Wilt moved back in front briefly, but Rahmer drove by with an inside move through three and four. Rahmer's move was negated, however, when Mark Smith and Alan Krimes crashed, which brought out a red flag and gave the lead back to Wilt. Wilt held off Rahmer on the restart and kept the 8-time track champion at bay until a lap 15 restart gave Rahmer a second chance. Wilt was seeking his second career win and Rahmer an unprecedented 81st. The 22-year old racer from York in his first full season of sprint car competition never faltered through the final eleven laps and went on to score the victory, which was worth $3230. Rahmer settled for second. Greg Hodnett, who started tenth, was third. Cody Darrah came from 11th to fourth and Brent Marks, filling in for the injured Doug Esh, completed the top five. Mike Erdley, Lance Dewease, Todd Shaffer, Chad Layton and Dave Ely finished in positions six through ten respectively. Heats for the 23 sprint cars in competition were won by Marks, Steve Buckwalter and Wilt. Geesey started 13th, took the lead from Pat Cannon with an inside move through turn two and went on to score his first career in 358 c.i. sprint car competition at Williams Grove. Cory Haas , who made the field as an alternate, came from 24th starting position to finish second. Nate Hammaker, Kyle Moody and Blane Heimbach completed the top five.

ROHRBAUGH CLAIMS TRONE OUTDOOR ADVERTISING CHAMPIONSHIP EVENT;

DIETRICH 2009 TRAIL-WAY “358” SPRINT CAR CHAMP;

GALLAGHER WINS THUNDERCAR FEATURE; HANSON LIMITED STOCK VICTOR

Hanover, PA (9/18/09) –Jeff Rohrbaugh and Billy Dietrich were both happy after Friday night’s 30-lap Trone Outdoor Advertising “358” sprint car championship event at Trail-Way Speedway.

Rohrbaugh returned to victory lane and the Roy Vincent Racing #7V took home the $2,000 winner’s share. In doing so, Rohrbaugh also returned to the top of the all-time win list with his 21st career win at the McSherrystown oval.

And Billy Dietrich reclaimed the track championship after earning the title in 2005 and watching Rohrbaugh win three straight championships from 2006 through 2008.

“I don’t get 30% unless I win,” quipped Rohrbaugh in victory lane, “So I had to step it up!”

Rohrbaugh drew pill #9 to start the championship event. He was already into fifth by the end of the first lap, but was passed by eighth-starting Dale Hammaker on lap six and was running sixth when the red flag came out for a flipping Jessie Morrison in turn one of lap 12. Morrison, who was running fourth at the time, collected fifth-place Nick Palmerino, who struck the outside wall in turns one and two. Both drivers were uninjured in the only caution of the race.

On the restart, Rohrbaugh drove back around Dale Hammaker to move into third. At the same time, Brad McClelland won a drag race down the back stretch to pass polesitter Phil Walter for the race lead. Rohrbaugh then caught Phil Walter for second in heavy lapped traffic on lap 22, and made his race-winning pass under Brad McClelland on lap 26.

“I hate to brag, but there is nobody better in lapped traffic,” said Rohrbaugh, “Trail-Way’s a great place to race. I really like it here. The competition here on Friday night…bar none…is the best.”

Hammaker caught McClelland with three to go, but was unable to catch Rohrbaugh. McClelland settled for third, with 12th-starting Billy Dietrich fourth and Walter fifth.

Completing the top ten were Tim Wagaman, Austin Reed, Randy Davis, Jr., 19th-starting Rick Horn, and 21st-starting Keith Prutzman.

Dietrich’s fourth-place finish was good enough to take the 2009 track title by 21 points over McClelland.

“We had a good year,” said Dietrich, “That was a heckuva race there. We weren’t close enough to catch Jeff, but we’re very happy. Our crew and sponsors did a great job this year.”

Heats for the 27 “358” sprint cars on hand were won by Wagaman, Steve Storrie, and Walter.

Sam Gallagher came from seventh starting spot to claim his third win in five Trail-Way starts this year in the 20-lap thundercar feature. Gallagher advanced to fourth by the end of the third lap, caught polesitter Todd Miller for third on lap five, passed Rick Weaver for second on a seventh-lap restart, and took the lead from Brad Shank on lap eight.

Shank pulled into the infield during a 12th-lap caution, handing second place over to Jamie Zentmyer, so chased Gallagher the rest of the way.

Third through fifth were Bobby Stough, Marshall McMullen, and David Prunkl.

Heats for the 20 thundercars were won by Zentmyer and Weaver.

The event was the final tune-up before next Friday’s “Thunder on the Farm” 50-lap season finale for the thundercars.

Daryl Hanson passed polesitter and race-long leader Wayne Blevins on lap nine to score his third win of the year in the 12-lap limited stock feature.

Blevins crossed second, with Shannon Weaver, Chad Weaver, and Ricky Weaver, Jr. completing the top five.

Heats for the 20 limited stocks were won by Blevins and Robbie Carroll.

Tomorrow (9/19), Trail-Way will hold an AMA Motorcycle Short Track race. Racing begins at 6:00 p.m. with gates opening at 3:00 p.m. The raindate will be Sunday (9/20). Racing will begin at 1:00 p.m. with gates opening at 9:00 a.m.

Next Friday (9/25), Trail-Way will host the 11th Annual Hoosier Tire “Thunder on the Farm” for 358 late models, Thundercars, All American Outlaws, and Limited stocks. Racing begins at 7:30 p.m. and the gates open at 5:30 p.m.

Next Saturday (9/26), Trail-Way will host the 20th Kevin Gobrecht Memorial for the 600cc and 270cc Micro Sprints, and 1000cc Sidewinder Sprints. Racing begins at 6:00 p.m. with gates opening at 3:00 p.m. The raindate will be Sunday September 27th.

MARK SMITH CLOSING ON TODD SHAFFER'S SUTLIFF POINT LEAD

MECHANICSBURG, PA -- Todd Shaffer has already wrapped up one championship this season, and he will have an opportunity to move a little closer to the one he really wants on Friday evening, September 18, at Williams Grove Speedway. Shaffer has clinched the Diamond Series championship edging Mark Smith by 80 points, 1690-1610. The Diamond Series carries a separate point fund and includes a bevy of special races run throughout the season. While any title at Williams Grove represents quite an accomplishment, the one Shaffer wants the most is the Sutliff Auto Group track championship, which pays $20,000 to win. As was the case with the Diamond Series, it looks as if Mark Smith will be Shaffer's most serious competition. Shaffer is seeking a third track championship while Smith is in search of his first. Shaffer, who has led the title chase since opening day, holds a slim 40-point lead. Following the September 18 program, which begins at 8:00 and will also include the 358 c.i. sprints, only five point races remain on the 2009 schedule.

GREG HODNETT WINS 3RD TUSCARORA 50/HAUS ENDS BEECH CREEK RAVING CAREER ON HIGH NOTE

September 13, 2009

Port Royal, PA

Greg Hodnett of Thomasville, PA was perfect during Saturday night's Tuscarora 50 racing program at Port Royal Speedway. Hodnett notched his third career AB Auto Glass/Ramsey's Car Wash/Cleveland Brothers Caterpillar Dealerships Tuscaroa 50 win to close out the racing season and 155TH annual Juniata County Fair at the historic raceway. Hodnett won his Aumiller & Associate Insurance heat race, B & B Mulch, Jake's Golf Carts, Professional Building Systems, Dusty's Machine Shop, Port Royal Speedway dash and led all 50 laps while earning over $ 12,500 dollars for the win. Only Stevie Smith looked like a serious challenger during the race after exchanging slider moves during laps 35 & 36 with eventual third place finished Daryn Pittman. Chad Layton started 17TH and finished fourth. Fred Rahmer came from 18TH starting spot to finish fifth. Sixth through tenth were Mark Smith, Todd Shaffer, Brian Montieth, Donnie Kreitz, Jr., and Lance Dewease. Heat races for the 42 car field were won by Keith Kauffman, Pittman, Hodnett and Shaffer. B-Main winners were Kerry Madsen, driving Jim Nace's no. 6 and Dave Ely. Montieth won the Comfort Suites/Sleep Inn of State College, PA hard charger award advancing 16 spots in the feature.

Hodnett placed an exclamation mark on his win when he arrived on the stage for post race activities. Hodnett power slid the car sideways as his crew and fans cheered their approval. No sooner did Hodnett begin post race interviews, than he and onlookers were drenched in a champagne bath by his crew. Hodnett spoke about his third Tuscarora win and fifth Port Royal victory of the season. " I had great starting positions all night long. The guys did a great job on the car. It was flawless, you couldn't ask for anything better. They did a great job on the tire choices. The track preparation was awesome. Usually, It's rubber on the bottom, but it's pretty much wide open all the way and you could give it all you got." Hodnett also talked about his success since moving from Memphis, Tenn. to PA. " I've been in great cars with great owners. Jim and Sandy (Kline, car owners) give us the best equipment they can and put together a great team. I moved up here about four or five years ago and made my residence here. I'm proud to be a member of the PA posse and really want to run well a couple weeks from now down at Williams Grove."

Car owner Jim Kline praised his drivers performance. " Greg did a great job. Pittman, Smith, all those guys did a great job and every body's (arms) up on the steering wheel all night. He (Hodnett) got a heckuva restart with about 10 laps left. I really thought Stevie (Smith) was gonna run us down, but Greg got a good restart and kept working it. Lee (Stauffer) hit the car right on. We've still got some work to do on our motor program. We've got to look at that real hard. Greg, did a flawless, magnificent job."

The first half of the race proved troublesome to complete. The first 15 laps went non stop Cody Darrah brought out the yellow on lap 15 when mechanical problems struck his racer. Darrah was out of action for the night. During the same yellow, Josh Weller stopped his race car on the inside of turn four. Weller was also eliminated from competition. While under yellow, Chad, Kemenah suffered a flat left rear tire. His crew added air and Kemenah rejoined action at the rear of the field. A two car flip halted action during lap 16. Kerry Madsen and Kevin Nouse both flipped in turn four. Neither driver was seriously injured although Nouse complained of a sore knee. Nouse walked to his pit area under his own power. Von McGee's racer was also involved in the crash. All three drivers were finished for the night. A rash of lat tires struck several race cars. Officials stopped the race for the mid race refueling seven laps early. The final yellow came during lap 40 when Keith Kauffman's racer suffered mechanical problems. Todd Shaffer also stopped in turn four. Shaffer resumed action. Kauffman, who had held a top five position, dropped out. Stevie Smith and Daryn Pittman exchanged slider moves in turns one and two during laps 35 and 35. Smith ended up winning that battle before finsihing second.

The Beech Creek Racing Team has fielded cars for Scotty Haus for the last nine years. The team ran its final AB Auto Glass/Mike Cleck Paving late model race Saturday night. Haus, the 2009 track champ, took the team out in style by winning the 20 lap feature event. Haus earned additional money as his team posted extra cash to the top five finishers in the feature as a way of saying thank you to the teams they've competed with.

" This is a good hot rod tonight. Nine years with that Beech Creek gang. This is the last race. We won the first race with them and the last race. It's been a nine year marriage, it's been unbelievable, I'm gonna miss them. It makes me sick to think they are gonna quit but what are you gonna do." Haus also spoke of this 2010 plans which include seeking a Saturday night ride for Port Royal. " My sons going to take over my ride and I'm going to help him. We'll find something." Haus also spoke of the car he drove to victory. " This is a 2004 Rocket. I'm sure it won 35 races. It's just been good. It jelled."

Jeff Rine finished second after arriving from canceled Selinsgrove Speedway. Mike Hess led the first seven laps before giving way to Haus. Hess came home third with Tim Wilson fourth. Mitch Hack was fifth. Rounding out the top ten was Waylon Wagner, Andy Haus, Gary Beward, Tim Gray and Scott Flickinger. Heats races for the 25 car field were won by Beward, Flickinger and Haus. Rine and Wagner shared hard charger awards advancing 6 positions.

Prior to the start of the sprint car feature, Daryl Stimeling was honored with Will Gamble Memorial Determination Award, presented to the first Port Royal regular not starting the feature event. Long time driver and car owner, Jim Nace received an appreciation plaque from Del Shank, on behalf of the non profit Tuscarora 50 Foundation, for his years of service to the sport of auto racing.

LINCOLN BATTLES, BUT LOSES THIRD SHOW OF THE YEAR TO THE RAIN; Rain-out gives Hammaker first Lincoln 358 sprint point title; 358 Championship event to be rescheduled; date to be announced

ABBOTTSTOWN, PA , 9/12/09 - After running in the track three times, Lincoln gave up and threw in the towel Saturday night, postponing its annual 358 Sprint Car Championship event to a date to be determined. Track master Fred Putney had the track just about ready to go when the first of three rainfalls struck the track shortly before 5:30 p.m. Putney and his crew went back to work, running in the track a second time, and then did it again after a second rainfall arrived at about 6:45 p.m. Officials were about ready to tell the sprint cars drivers to buckle up for heat in the motors when rain again drenched the track at 8:15, forcing promoters Bob and Don Leiby and Alan Kreitzer to cancel the evening's racing program. Forty-seven "358" sprint cars, 32 Central PA Legends cars, and 20 thundercars were in the pits. Officials had already reduced time trials to a single lap before the program was cancelled. Though the "358" Championship will be rescheduled at a date to be announced, the rain gave Grantville's Dale Hammaker his first-ever Lincoln track title by 165 points over Glenndon Forsythe, with defending track champ Jeff Rohrbaugh finishing third in points, 180 behind Hammaker. With all big shows remaining, promoters were unsure whether the Legends could be rescheduled. An announcement regarding the date of the 358 championship event will be made later this week. Next Saturday night, September 12th, Lincoln Speedway will host the 35th running of the prestigious "Lawrence Chevrolet Sportsman 100." Street Stocks and Thundercars will round out the evening's racing action which will get underway with sportsman time trials at 7 PM.

Port Royal Speedway

September 7, 2009

Port Royal, PA

Mike Wagner was perfect Monday afternoon during the Foss Jewelers Labor Day Classic for sprint cars at Port Royal Speedway. After 22 years of trying the Harrisonville, PA driver added his name to the holiday win list. Wagner was joined in post race festivities by his ailing wife who was suffering from a touch of the flu.

" We were really good here in the feature.", began Wagner, " I never dreamed we would win it because we haven't been real good. The car had a lot of tilt in it (chassis set up) but it still went."

Wagner led all 25 laps after starting on the pole. Fred Rahmer started second and chased

Wagner the entire race. Rahmer and the rest of the field had their opportunities, but couldn't capitalize on them. The race was under yellow during lap three when Lance Dewease suffered a flat tire. Dewease rejoined action and raced from the rear of the field to finish eighth. Following the restart, Wagner opened a huge lead over the rest of the field. Near the mid point, Rahmer closed the gap in lapped traffic but coulld not mount a serious challenge. Wagner's lead was wiped out during lap 19 when Mark Smith stopped on the speedway with engine problems. Smith was finished for the day. Rahmer tried to slip under Wagner entering turn one during the restart. It didn't work and Wagner maintained control. The race was stopped during lap 22 when Cody Darrah flipped coming out of turn four. Darrah's racer was out of action for the day. The Red Lion, PA youngster was not injured. Upon restarting, Rahmer again tried to slid under Wagner entering turn one. Wagner was better off the corner and gained track advantage over Rahmer. The move clinched the win for Wagner. Rahmer settled for second with 2008 Labor Day champ, Todd Shaffer, third. Daryn Pittman and Keith Kauffman completed the top five. Sixth through tenth were Brian Leppo, Greg Hodnett, Lance Dewease, Kevin Nouse, and Mike Erdley. Heat races for the 23 car field were won by Rahmer and Hodnett.

The win was the second of the season for Wagner. His son, Mike Wagner III, also scored two wins in the 305 sprint car class this season. Wagner spoke about his families race season. " It's been a great year, but I was getting low on money so this ($3,000 dollar prize) will sure help out. It always helps to start on the front row, but we were pretty decent today."

Wagner was presented his winning trophy by Howard Foss of Lewistown, PA.

Start Scotty Haus on the pole of a daylight race at Port Royal Speedway and most people would have the check already made out to the Hamburg, PA star. For 17 laps it looked as though Haus was on his way to win no. 7 of the season. Young Dylan Yoder of Selinsgrove, PA ended those plans by upsetting Haus to earn his first career AB Auto Glass/Mike Cleck Paving late model win. Yoder is the son of late model star, Jim Yoder. The elder driver took the day off and was helping his son in the pit area. The youngster made his parents proud while driving the Krenn Racing no. 32 to the winners circle. Haus finished second with Devin Friese third. Tim Fedder and Tim Wilson rounded out the top five. The remainder of the top ten included Jere Wierman, Jason Miller, Waylon Wagner, Mitch Hack, and Todd Snook. Heat races were won by Andy Haus, Friese, and Wagner. There were 27 cars.

Yoder commented following the race, " I never thought I'd be able to get back by him (Haus) after he got the lead. His car is so tough off the top.

Tim Krape of Bellefonte scored his second Miller Auto Parts win of the season during pro stock competition. Krape started on the pole and led every lap. John Heane chased Krape the entire way. Derick Garman was third with Terry Naugle fourth. Jim Palm was fifth. Sixth through tenth were Devin Frey, Matt Johnson, Jess Trometter, Charles Rowe and Darren Lucas. Naugle and Derrick Garman won qualifiers. There were 17 cars.

Action continues Friday September 11 when the night before the 50 for sprint cars will be presented. The top four finishers in Friday nights race will be locked into the Tuscarora 50.

The pro stocks are also on the card which starts at 7:00 p.m. AB Auto Glass, Ramsey's Car Wash and Cleveland Brothers Caterpillar Dealerships are week end race sponsors. The Ab Auto Glass/Mike Cleck Paving late models are part of Saturday nights Tuscarora 50 program.

SUNDAY: FIRST FOR FAST FREDDIE IN BILLY KIMMEL MEMORIAL

MECHANICSBURG, PA -- Fred Rahmer finally scored his first victory of the season in sprint car competition at Williams Grove Speedway by winning the 25-lap Billy Kimmel Memorial Sunday night. Rick Barr became the first repeat winner in super sportsman competition and Cory Haas won the 20-lap 358 c.i. sprint feature. Rahmer's victory didn't come easily. He started eighth in the 24-car field and didn't crack the top five until lap nine. Steve Buckwalter took the early lead and set a blistering pace until mechanical problems sent him to the pits on lap ten giving the lead to Alan Krimes. Rahmer came from fourth to second on a tenth lap restart and began to chase the leader. The winning move came when Rahmer drove through the middle of turns one and two and took the lead on the backstretch. He earned $3570 including lap and bonus money for his 80th career win at Williams Grove Speedway. Rahmer also extended a remarkable skein to 20 consecutive winning years at the Grove, a streak that started in 1990. Krimes settled for second in his best effort of the year. Mike Erdley, Greg Hodnett, who started 10th, and Adam Wilt completed the top ten ahead of Brian Leppo, Cody Darrah, Mark Smith, Don Kreitz, Jr. and Rick Lafferty Heats for the 26 sprint cars in competition were won by Lafferty, Steve Buckwalter and Krimes. Keith Kauffman won the consolation race. Barr led every inch of the way in the sportsman feature after starting on the outside of row one. Frankie Herr came from the 11th starting position to challenge Scott Dellinger for the runnerup spot at the finish. There was contact between the two and Herr hit the fence hard, but slid across the line in third place ahead of Dylan Cisney and Dave Socks. Sportsman heats went to Barr and Dellinger. There were 36 sportsman entries. Haas started 8th in the 358 c.i. feature and took the lead from Blane Heimbach on lap 14. It was the 13th career win and second of the season for the division point leader. Mark Freeland, Chad Criswell and Billy Johns completed the top five. Kyle Moody and Pat Cannon won the 358 c.i. sprint heats. There were 36 limited sprints in the pit area.

STUTTS STOPS CANNON’S WINNING STREAK IN SPRINTS; RINE DOMINATES FOR FOURTH CAREER LATE MODEL OPEN WIN

SELINSGROVE, Pa. – TJ Stutts of Liverpool returned to Victory Lane Saturday night at Selinsgrove Speedway for the first time since 2006, when he won two 410 sprint car races, for his 11th career 358 sprint car win in the division’s 25-lap main event.

Stutts, driving the Mountain View Travel No. 2T, became the ninth different 358 sprint car winner this season. Currently in the third position in the A&A Auto Stores standings, Stutts is a title contender in the third position behind Nate Snyder of Halifax and Blane Heimbach of Selinsgrove entering the final points race of the season next Saturday.

Jeff Rine of Danville was the night’s fast qualifier for the 11th Annual Late Model Open with a lap time of 20.257 seconds (94 mph). Rine then turned in a dominating performance for his ninth win of the season in the 30-lap, $3,000-to-win contest. It marked the fourth time that Rine had won the Open.

Kyle Bachman of Selinsgrove scored his 30th career pro stock win in the division’s 15-lap feature, while Ricky Bender of Jolliett was awarded his eighth win of the season in the 12-lap roadrunner race when Kyle Miller’s race car failed a post-race technical inspection.

Selinsgrove Speedway will present a four division show of 358 sprint cars, late models, pro stocks, and roadrunners at 7 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 12.

A two-car collision involving Shannon Mausteller and Nyle Berkes occurred in turn two on the start of the sprint car feature. When the race restarted, polesitter Charlie Anderson powered into the early lead with second-place starter Josh Beard and ninth-place starter Davie Franek in pursuit.

On a lap four restart, eighth-place starter Matt Heimbach advanced to fourth, while seven-time winner and 12th-place starter Pat Cannon moved into fifth. On a lap eight restart, Cannon horsepowered his way into the third position while a close battle for the lead unfolded between Anderson and Franek.

TJ Stutts, who started 10th, rocketed into the top five and passed Cannon for third at the halfway point. Showing a lot of speed, Stutts drove by Anderson and Franek for the lead using the outside lane entering turn one on the 14th circuit.

With seven laps remaining, Cannon moved into the second position and began to reel in Stutts in traffic to no avail. At the finish, Stutts was victorious by 1.6 seconds over Cannon, Franek, 19th-place starter Phil Walter, and 11th-place starter Blane Heimbach.

Second-place starter Gary Beward led the first lap of the late model feature. On a lap two restart, fourth-place starter Jeff Rine wheeled his championship car into the lead with an inside pass off of turn four. Once in front of the field, Rine quickly stretched his lead, and by lap 15 had lapped the field up to the 10th position.

While Rine was storming around the half-mile oval at break-neck speeds, a duel for second unfolded Beward, polesitter Donnie Schick, and third-place starter Tony Adams. On the 21st circuit, Adams moved into second and attempted to reel in Rine in heavy lapped traffic, only to make contact with the third turn wall on lap 23.

When the race resumed, Rine distanced himself from the field and posted a three-second margin of victor over Beward, 12th-place starter Tim Wilson, sixth-place starter Dylan Yoder, and Adams, who rebounded into the top five.

The pro stock feature turned out to be one of the most exciting of the season. Polesitter Kyle Parsons drove into the lead at the drop of the green flag. On the fourth circuit, eighth-place starter Dan Jensen took command of the field with fourth-place starter Gerald Kratzer and third-place starter Kyle Bachman in pursuit.

The second half of the event was a war on wheels between Jensen and Kratzer. On the 11th circuit, Kratzer was scored as the leader, but Jensen quickly reclaimed the front spot. On the final lap, Kratzer attempted to make the winning using the inside lane exiting turn two. When the two lead cars hooked together, they both made an impact with the backstretch wall, causing Jensen’s to flip over. Both drivers escaped injury.

Bachman inherited the lead and went on to win the race over Shaun Miller, AJ Hoffman, track champion Jason Smith, and Matt Johnson.

Second-place starter Kyle Miller powered into the lead at the start of the roadrunner feature. Miller was chased by fifth-place starter Eric Pinkerton until the fifth circuit when ninth-place starter and leading feature winner Ricky Bender moved into the second position.

The final laps saw Bender reel in Miller, while Pinkerton, eighth-place starter and point leader Marlin Dunham, and seventh-place starter Mike Kiehl raced in the top five. At the finish, Miller took the checkered flag 1.68 seconds ahead of Bender. Miller’s car, however, failed a post-race technical inspection and the win was awarded to Bender.

"BIG BLOCK" WEAVER WINS CAREER FIRST, MONTIETH CLAIMS SECOND STRAIGHT LINCOLN TITLE; Paul Miller takes second tour win in super sportsman; Wagaman wins second of year in late model finale; Knaub wins second straight title

ABBOTTSTOWN, PA , 9/5/09 - In a racing career that began as a gopher in the shop of Van May, Shawn "Big Block" Weaver achieved a life-long goal in winning his first sprint car feature at Lincoln Speedway Saturday night. "That was my goal to win," said a jubilant Weaver in victory lane, "I don't need to win a hundred of 'em. One is probably good enough and this'll probably be my last race this year. I figured I'd go home on a high note and we'll see what we do next year." After a red flag for a flipping Josh Wells on the front stretch of the initial start, Weaver grabbed the lead at the drop of the green on the restart and led every lap, crossing .75 seconds ahead of eighth-starting and fast-closing Adam Wilt in a non-stop feature that took six minutes, 46.602 seconds. Wilt took second from polesitter Randy Baughman in turns three and four of lap 12, and at the time was more than three seconds behind the Meadowbrook Auto Sales/Neil Smith Auto Repair/Quick Fix #69. He fell to almost five seconds behind Weaver over the next four laps before beginning his late-race charge. But Weaver held his line as he and Wilt drove away from the field over the final five laps. "We started up front, and the Vinny told me to make smooth laps and you're gonna' drive away from them, and he was right," said Weaver in the middle of one of the largest victory lane crowds in recent years, "This is very special to have Van (May) here. I learned everything I know from him. I never got my picture taken with him in victory lane when he won, but tonight he can get his picture taken with me, and I appreciate it." There was plenty of action in behind. Two-time winner Danny Dietrich came from 16th starting spot to catch Baughman for third on the final lap, with Baughman settling for fourth and Chad Trout fifth. Completing the top ten were 12th-starting Brian Montieth, 24th-starting Cody Darrah, 14th-starting Fred Rahmer, Alan Krimes, and Mark Smith. Montieth's sixth-place finish combined with Krimes' ninth-place finish gave Montieth his second straight Lincoln Speedway track title by 25 points on a season long scale of 7-thousand points. Heats for the 31 "410" Sprints were won by Baughman, Shawn Weaver, and Aaron Ott, with Josh Wells winning the consolation.

Fawn Grove's Paul Miller drove by polesitter and race-long leader Lanny Hake on the 12th lap and drove away to his first Lincoln Speedway win of 2009 in the 25-lap Super Sportsman feature. Hake led from the outset as fifth-starting Miller drove past Scott Dellinger and Steve Wilbur on the fifth lap to move into third behind Hake and outside frontrow starter Dave Berkheimer. Miller continued his charge to the front by getting by Berkheimer for second on seventh lap. Miller made his race-winning move around Hake following a 12th lap restart and pulled away over the final half of the race to earn his second Sportsman Tour race of the season. Carmen Perigo Jr. came from 12th to finish third, with Bobby Hockenberry coming from 10th to finish fourth, and Gregg Foster came from 13th to finish fifth. Completing the top-10 were Rich Eichelberger (started 21st), Hake, Frankie Herr (started 23rd), Ryan Rupp, Scott Dellinger, and Doug Hendricks. Heats for the 42 Super Sportsman were won by Hake, Wilbur, Berkheimer, and Rupp. Twin consolations were won by Rick Barr and Jason Fry.

Gettysburg's Craig Wagaman came from his ninth starting spot to pass race-long leader Travis Beaver for the lead on the fifth lap and then held off a furious charge by Gene Knaub in great side-by-side battle over the final five laps to pick up his second win of the year in the 20-lap 358 Late Model feature. Knaub, by finishing second in their final event of 2009 at the Pigeon Hills oval, picked-up his second consecutive track championship. Jake Lettick, Bobby Beard, and Bernie Beard finished third through fifth respectively. Completing the top-10 were Mike Walls, Travis Beaver, Matt Nailor, Ron Little Sr., Bob Stough. Heats for the 24 "358" Late Models were won by Mike Walls, Bernie Beard, and Jake Lettich.

Next Saturday night, September 12th, the battle for Keizer Aluminum Wheels 358 Sprint Lincoln Speedway track championship will come down to the final race of the year for the 358 Sprints. The final event of the 2009 season for the 358 Sprints at Lincoln Speedway will be special championship event with time trials determining starting positions starting at 7 PM.

SUNDAY NIGHT: SPRINTS, 358s, SPORTSMAN FOR BILLY KIMMEL MEMORIAL

MECHANICSBURG, PA -- The Billy Kimmel Memorial will be presented on Sunday evening, September 6, at Williams Grove Speedway. This event is named to honor the memory of the late Mechanicsburg resident, who was fatally injured in a racing accident at Williams Grove two years ago on the eve of Labor Day. Sprint car racing will be the featured attraction on Sunday night with 358 c.i. sprints and super sportsman cars also on the card, giving fans a rare opportunity to see all three of the Grove's top open wheel divisions on the same program. While the usual handicapping procedure will be in effect for the sprint cars, two unique formats will be used for the other two divisions. The top ten drivers in the super sportsman point standings will be locked into their feature and will be comprise rows two through six in the starting lineup. They will be inverted with the point leader starting twelfth and the tenth-ranked driver starting third. The remainder of the field will be divided into two qualifying races. The qualifying races will be lined up with the high point drivers starting at the front of each race. The winners of the qualifying races will earn front row starting positions for the feature. The remaining qualifiers will fill rows seven through twelve in the feature lineup. The 358s will have the top 12 drivers locked into the feature. A draw for inversion will set the first six rows of the starting lineup. The remainder of the entrants willl be split for two qualifying races. The top six in each will complete the feature lineup. Some friends of Billy Kimmel are organizing a white-out in his honor and are requesting fans to wear white shirts if possible on Sunday night. White racing T-shirts would be very appropriate. The first heat is scheduled to start at 7:00.

BITTINGER CLAIMS FOURTH WIN OF ’09 IN TRAIL-WAY 358 SPRINTS;

BRIAN WALLS WINS FIRST OF THE YEAR IN THUNDERCARS;

GARY CALIMER, JR. EXTREME STOCK VICTOR; BRAD KRESS TAKE LIMITED STOCKS

Hanover, PA (9/4/09) –How wild was the racing under the full moon at Trail-Way Speedway Friday night?

Wild enough that winner Mike Bittinger pulled into victory lane without a front bumper. And wild enough that Brad McClelland and Billy Dietrich tied for third at the finish.

Bittinger kept control after contact with a spinning car to hold onto the lead and pilot the Pancho’s Racing Products #93 to his fourth win of the year at Trail-Way.

“I was messin’ around there at the beginning. I don’t know what I was doing,” said a happy Bittinger after scoring his tenth career win at the TW, “But then Brad (McClelland) to up with me...and I’ve been told that when Brad’s there, you drive harder.”

Bittinger started eighth and was still seventh when a red flag came out for a flipping Doug Hammaker in turns three and four of lap six. Hammaker was uninjured in the crash, which also involved Cale Griffin, Brian Bruckner, Nathan Berwager, Tim Wagaman, and Tim Stallings.

“When I went into the turns on the restart, it stuck, and I said ‘Let’s go!’,” said Bittinger, “I kept running the top line and then all went well until I hit lapped traffic and started making mistakes. It’s good we had that caution later in the race.”

Bittinger advanced from seventh on the seventh-lap restart to third by the end of lap eight. Two laps later, he drove around second-place Derek Sell on the back stretch and around race-long leader Rick Horn for the lead exiting turn four.

He led the rest of the way, despite heavy late pressure from ninth-starting Jeff Rohrbaugh. Billy Dietrich and Brad McClelland joined the battle late in the event and crossed wheel-to-wheel at the finish. Officials declared the battle for third a tie, with Austin Reed crossing fifth.

Sixth through tenth were Jessie Morrison, Logan Schuchart, DS Diversified Services hard charger Dale Hammaker (who started 22nd), Kyle Moody, and John Barnett.

Heats for the 34 “358” sprint cars were won by Sell, McClelland, Reed, and Schuchart.

Keith Prutzman won the consolation event.

Brian Walls held off Sam Gallagher to claim his first Trail-Way win of the year in the 20-lap thundercar feature. Walls took the lead from outside front row starter Rick Weaver on lap four and led the rest of the way. Gallagher, who started eighth, got by Weaver for second on lap nine and closed on Walls during some late-race cautions, but could not make the pass.

David Prunkl crossed third, with Weaver and Justin Bittle completing the top five.

Qualifying events for the 17 thundercars were won by Prunkl and Brian Walls.

Gary Calimer, Jr. grabbed the lead from his second starting spot and paced the field the whole way in the 20-lap Extreme Stock feature. Tommy Slanker came from eighth to cross second, with Zach Myers, Jed Latshaw, and Adam Smith completing the top five.

Heats for the 18 Extreme Stocks were won by Slanker and Jeremy Stremmel.

Brad Kress finally got the monkey off his back and claimed his first win since April in the 12-lap limited stock feature. Kress started sixth and wrestled the lead from Chad Weaver on the final lap.

Weaver settled for second, with James Myers, Jr., Robert Nicklow, and Terry Hartlaub crossing third through fifth.

Heats for the 15 limited stocks were won by Rod Weaver and Sarah Redmond.

Tomorrow (9/5), Trail-Way will hold a special Labor Day show with a Junk Car Demolition race. Also on the schedule are the Figure 8’s, Powder Puff, and Scramble Cars. Racing begins at 6:00 p.m. with gates opening at 4:00 p.m.

Next Friday (9/11), Trail-Way will host the 358 Sprint Cars, Thundercars, Extreme Stocks, and Limited Stocks. Racing begins at 7:30 p.m. and the gates open at 5:30 p.m.

Next Saturday (9/12), Trail-Way will host the 600cc and 270cc Micros, Classic Cars, Scramble Cars and 4 and 6cyl. Starlite Ovals. Racing begins at 6:30 p.m. with gates opening at 4:30 p.m.

Williams Grove Speedway

FRIDAY AND SUNDAY SPRINTS ON LABOR DAY WEEKEND

MECHANICSBURG, PA -- Williams Grove Speedway will present sprint car racing as the featured attraction on Friday, September 4, and Sunday, September 6. One of the season's most popular events, the Jack Gunn Memorial Triple 20s, is scheduled for September 4. A fireworks display will also be presented. Qualifying is slated to begin at 7:45. With nearly $40,000 on the line, the Triple 20s is one of the major events at Williams Grove Speedway and is the richest unsanctioned night of the season. Time trials will lock the twelve fastest cars into the first feature. The fastest qualifier will draw for lineup inversion. The remainder of the field will be split into two ten-lap qualifying races and the top five in each will transfer to the first feature. The final two spots will go to the highest ranking drivers in the Sutliff Auto Group point standings who attempted to qualify but did not transfer to the feature. The second feature will be lined up according to the first feature finish. The winning driver will draw for inversion. Feature number three will be lined up according to the total dollars earned in the first two races. The top six money winners will be inverted. The first two 20-lap features will each pay $2500 to win. The third feature will pay $5000, so a sweep of the Triple 20s will be worth $10,000. No driver has ever swept a Triple 20s program. In 2001 Todd Shaffer won the first two features, but Fred Rahmer won the third. In 2002 Rahmer won the first two, but Lance Dewease prevented a sweep by winning the third. Since the format was instituted in 1999, the Triple 20s has produced three different winners eight times including last year when Rahmer, Doug Esh and Brian Leppo visited victory lane. Sunday, September 6, will serve as a rain date for the Jack Gunn Memorial. If that event is run as scheduled, the Billy Kimmel Memorial will be presented on Sunday featuring three open wheel divisions, including sprint cars, 358 c.i. sprints and super sportsman cars starting at 7:00.

MECHANICSBURG, PA -- The richest weekend in the 70-year history of Williams Grove Speedway is set for Friday and Saturday evenings, October 2-3, when it will be possible for a sprint car driver to win more than $78,000.

The entire Summer Nationals purse will be paid, therefore no rain checks from July 25 can be honored. The makeup feature will be worth $20,000 to win. The dash finish will determine the first ten starting positions for the Summer Nationals feature. A complete World of Outlaws program including time trials, heats, a C-Main, a dash, a B-main and a 25-lap feature paying $8,000 to win will also be part of the October 2 card. Time trials for the October 2 event will open the night's activities followed by the Summer Nationals dash and feature. The remainder of the scheduled October 2 WoO event will then be run. The Summer Nationals dash lineup will find World of Outlaws star Joey Saldana on the pole with Grove regular Cody Darrah starting alongside him on the front row. The second row will be comprised of former Williams Grove champions Keith Kauffman and Lance Dewease. World of Outlaws career win winner Steve Kinser and Williams Grove career win leader Fred Rahmer will comprise row three. The remainder of the dash field will be filled by Craig Dollansky, Aaron Ott, Chad Kemenah and Brian Leppo, Positions eleven through 24 will go to Lucas Wolfe, Danny Lasoski, Jason Meyers, Jason Sides, Greg Hodnett, Doug Esh, Todd Shaffer, Jac Haudenschild, Stevie Smith, Chad Layton, Kraig Kinser, Brian Montieth, Sammy Swindell and Donny Schatz.

This is just awesome to win this race.I know he (Renninger) is smiling now. Wilson wasn't positive he would be the race winner. " Todd (Snook) raced a good race. He had a heckuva car.I didn't think I was gonna get him. I just stuck with it and tried every where I could on that race track. You guys (track crew) are doing a good job on the race track. It's fast. I like it that way." Wilson continued speaking about his season accomplishments and his race team. " We busted up our Port Royal car. It was faster here than this one. We did our homework. I'm proud of these guys. (pit crew) I'd love to win every week if I could but one is (win) good enough for me this year. Wilson received a checkered flag from the Auto racing Club of Hagerstown, MD for winning the event. Carol Renninger and family, presented Wilson with the trophy and check following the race.

We went for a stretch with out some wins. Jimmy Russell and the rest of the guys went to work and made some changes on the car about three weeks ago and I don't think we've been out of the top five since.

Rick Barr, Gene Wrightstone, Bob Gutshall and Brian Wentzel Win Williams Grove Speedway Features

Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania

"Good things come to those that wait," is a saying that applies to Super Sportsman driver Rick Barr. After flipping in his two previous Williams Grove Speedway Saturday Night Series races, Barr came back with a vengeance. The Camp Hill driver brought out a new machine and won the Williams Grove Speedway Tool Shed of America 20-lap Super Sportsman main.

"It was really hooked up," said Barr, "and that made it real easy to drive."

Lanny Hake, with his new Super Sportsman, started on the pole and jumped into the lead. Rick Barr started fourth and held that position through the first lap. On lap two Barr gained second with a pass of Gregg Foster and Stan Wanner.

The third-lap found Rick Barr's black No. 00 passing leader Lanny Hake at the exit of turn four. Once in front Barr, driving a new Mach 1 chassis built by Sprint Car driver Mark Smith, quickly pulled away from the field. By lap seven Barr had opened a full straightaway lead.

The car on the move was the bright blue No. 93 driven by Carmen Perigo Jr. Perigo began the feature in 11th and was third by lap eight. One lap later Perigo worked his way past Lanny Hake to gain second position.

Perigo was rapidly closing the gap between himself and the leader Barr. With five-laps left Perigo had noticeably sliced the lead. Although Rick Barr encountered lapped traffic Perigo could not catch the leader. Barr captured his first Williams Grove Speedway win of 2009, his career second at the track, ten-lengths in front of Carmen Perigo Jr. Lanny Hake had his best finish of the year taking third. Stan Wanner finished in fourth and Paul Miller was in fifth.

“She basically drove herself out of the corner,” said winner Barr. “The car was just so drivable, so hooked-up, definitely so glad that Mark (Smith) built this car for me. Both him and Smitty (Ree Smith) came down, working at the shop helping to get this deal together. They spent plenty of hours helping out trying to get it to the track.”

The heat wins for the 34 Super Sportsman went to Stan Wanner, LeRoy Martin and Rick Barr. Jay Fannasy won the consolation race.

Gene Wrightstone had something to prove in the 358 Late Model feature. Like Rick Barr, Wrightstone was trying to shake a bad luck streak. His luck was so bad Wrightstone was mired 32nd in the point standings. Wrightstone was successful as the Mechanicsburg driver won the 20-lap A.J.'s Truck and Trailer Center 358 Late Model feature.

Rookie 358 Late Model driver Wes Alleman captured the lead on the first lap followed by Jared Miller and Cody Fairchok. Gene Wrightstone started in third and held the fourth position. The lead four remained the same through the first six-laps.

Gene Wrightstone's assault at the lead began on lap seven. Wrightstone's blue No. 10 passed Cody Fairchok for third. The following circuit Wrightstone shot by Jared Miller for second.

At the end of the eighth-lap the caution flag came out. When the race was restarted Wrightstone drove by Wes Alleman to capture the lead position. While Wrightstone stretched out his lead, the battle was for second. Wes Alleman held the position until he was passed by Bernie Beard. Beard soon had the Gene Knaub machine on his back bumper. Knaub had advanced from his 18th starting spot. Beard and Knaub staged a four-lap fight for second. With two-laps remaining Knaub gained the second place.

Gene Wrightstone was in total control of the feature and won by a wide margin over Knaub, Beard, Alleman and Tyler Armstrong.

“That was amazing,” stated a very happy Wrightstone. “We have this monkey on our back. We lost two or three motors this year. Every week something breaks on the car. We wouldn’t be 32nd in the points if we didn’t have this monkey. We got some of our problems worked out. The year isn’t over so I am sure there are still some more to be worked out.”

Mike Spangler, Bobby Beard and Jake Lettich won the qualifying for the 31-car field. Derrike Zirkle took the consolation win.

It was a night where tough-luck drivers would win their feature. After being in a devastating crash at the last race, Street Stock driver Bob Gutshall rebuilt his No. 69 Camaro. Gutshall responded by leading all the way in the 15-lap L.B. Smith Ford Street Stock feature. It is his first of the year for the Mechanicsburg driver and the second of his career at Williams Grove.

Bob Gutshall started on the pole and immediately gained the lead. Walt Lemmon, Lori Croop, Kevin Wirt and Pat McNeal gave chase. While Gutshall and Lemmon remained in the first two positions, McNeal advanced to third.

Craig Morgan started in 13th and by the end of lap four he was in fourth place. Two laps later Morgan passed McNeal for third. On the eighth-lap Morgan wrestled second place away from Lemmon.

Bob Gutshall held a 15-length advantage but Morgan was rapidly closing the gap. While Gutshall held the middle lane, Morgan was working the bottom. With two laps remaining Morgan pulled even with the leader Gutshall. On the final lap Gutshall used a lapped car to his advantage. With the slower car in Morgan's lane, Gutshall held a length lead into the final turns. They were even off the final corner and Bob Gutshall just edged out Craig Morgan at the finish line. Kory Sites, Walt Lemmon and Steven Dove completed the top five finishers.

“Our luck sure hasn’t been with us this year. I knew them guys would be coming. I seen Craig there with three or four to go,” said winner Gutshall.

Sites and Gutshall won the two heat races for the 17-car Street Stock field.

The Four-Cylinder class staged two 15-lap features. This night can be summed up in one name: Brian Wentzel. The second-generation driver swept both features for the Wentzel's Body Shop Four-Cylinders.

In the first feature, a make-up from August 1, Troy Hostetter led the opening lap trailed by Mike Potts and Brian Wentzel. The top three stayed the same until Wentzel moved into second on lap four. Two laps later Wentzel, from Fredericksburg, pulled beside leader Hostetter. They raced into turn three side by side. Off of turn four Wentzel used the low lane to take the lead from Hostetter.

A caution with five-laps remaining set up a great finish. Following the restart Wentzel, Hostetter, Potts and Ronnie Buck had a heated fight for the lead. The battle went to the finish where Wentzel won by a length over Hostetter. Buck took a close third followed by Potts and Dave Edwards.

In the second feature it was Leroy Long in the early lead with Mike Potts and Ed Hollenbach contesting the second spot.

Brian Wentzel started the feature in ninth and was fifth by the end of lap four. One lap later he advanced into third.

During a lap-six caution leader Leroy Long retired to the pits. When the race went green it was Mike Potts in the lead followed by Brian Wentzel. One-lap later Wentzel made his winning move at the exit of turn four. Once in front Wentzel's blue No. 888 Mustang pulled away from Potts. Wentzel had no trouble winning his second of the evening by a wide margin over Potts, Brian Michael, Ronnie Buck and Dave Edwards.

The two heat races for the 21 Wentzel’s Body Shop Four-Cylinders went to Brian Wentzel and Ronnie Buck.

The Super Sportsman will return to Williams Grove Speedway this Sunday night as part of the Billy Kimmel Memorial show. They will join the 410 Sprints and the 358 Sprints. On Friday, September 11, the Super Sportsman and 358 Late Models will join the 358 Sprints for a night of racing. The next Saturday Night Series show will be September 26 with the Super Sportsman, Street Stocks, Four-Cylinder and the All American Outlaws.

CANNON WIRES FIELD FOR WHITCOMB MEMORIAL WIN; ADAMS, HOFFMAN & MILLER SCORE STOCK CAR WINS

SELINSGROVE, Pa. – Pat Cannon of Etters led flag-to-flag for his dominating victory in Saturday night’s 25-lap Joe Whitcomb Memorial for 358 sprint cars at Selinsgrove Speedway. For Cannon, driving the Highlands’ Tire Service No. 3, the $1,771 win was his seventh in nine starts at the track and the 17th of his career at the Snyder County oval.

Nicole Bower of Camp Hill was the night’s fast qualifier with a one-lap time of 18.038 (106 mph). Bower made history at the track by becoming the first female driver to set fast time in qualifying for a sprint car race. She bested a strong field of 43 drivers who competed to honor the memory of the late Joe Whitcomb, who succumbed to injuries he sustained in a sprint car racing accident at the speedway in 2003.

Tony Adams of Sunbury won his second race in a row in the 25-lap late model feature. The win was the 14th of Adams’ career at Selinsgrove Speedway. AJ Hoffman of Richfield powered to his fifth win of the season in the 15-lap pro stock feature, while Kyle Miller of Milton wired the field for his first win of the season in the 12-lap roadrunner race.

Selinsgrove Speedway will present the Late Model Open plus a complete program of 358 sprint cars, pro stocks, and roadrunners at 7 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 5. The 30-lap Late Model Open will pay $3,000 to win. Track gates will open at 5 p.m.

Polesitter Pat Cannon powered into the lead at the start of the sprint car feature and streaked away from the field, while second-place starter Matt Boland held down the runner-up position. On the second circuit, sixth-place starter TJ Stutts drove by fourth-place starter Colby Womer for the third position.

By lap seven, Cannon began to lap cars in the field as he rocketed around the lightning-fast half-mile oval. Stutts advanced to second on the ninth lap and attempted to catch Cannon in heavy lapped traffic.

The race was stopped on lap 15 when 16-year-old Logan Schuchart flipped out over the speedway’s third-turn guardrail. Schuchart escaped injury. During the stoppage, Stutts went to the pit area, attempted to rejoin the field, then withdrew from the race on lap 16 with mechanical problems.

With five laps remaining, current point leader and 15th-place starter Nate Snyder stormed into the third position. At the checkered flag, Cannon won by a convincing 11-second margin of victory over Boland, Snyder, seventh-place starter Matt Heimbach, and Womer.

In the late model feature, second-place starter Kyle Rhoads led the first two laps of the race until fourth-place starter Brett Schadel secured the lead with an inside pass in turn three. On the third circuit, 10th-place starter Jim Bernheisel made a hard impact with the fourth-turn wall and collected original polesitter Chad Davis. Both drivers escaped injury.

When the race resumed, Schadel continued to set the pace in front of third-place starter Dylan Yoder and 12th-place starter Tony Adams. On lap seven, ninth-place starter Jeff Rine moved into third and reeled in the leaders. Following a wheel-to-wheel battle for several laps, Adams made the winning pass by Schadel on lap 13 using the outside lane in turn two.

At the finish, Adams was victorious by 2.3 seconds over Schadel, Rine, seventh-place starter Donnie Schick, and sixth-place starter Jeff Smith.

Polesitter Kyle Parsons led the first lap of the pro stock feature. Second-place starter Kurt Wray drove by Parsons for the lead on the second circuit. By lap six, 10th-place starter AJ Hoffman advanced to second and began to reel in Wray.

On the seventh circuit, Hoffman streaked around the outside of Wray through turns one and two to take command of the field. At the same time, ninth-place starter Dan Jensen moved into the runner-up position, with eighth-place starter Matt Johnson racing in third.

Hoffman went on to win the race by a mere one-second margin of victory over Jensen, Johnson, current point leader Jason Smith, and Peanut Heintzelman.

Second-place starter Kyle Miller powered into the lead in the roadrunner feature and never looked back. Miller went the distance at the front of the field while fifth-place starter Brian Johnson and sixth-place starter Mike Kiehl dueled for the runner up position during the first half of the race.

Miller posted a two-second margin of the victory over Johnson, Eric Pinkerton, Marlin Dunham, and Kiehl.

McINTYRE CLAIMS FIRST CAREER 410 SPRINT CAR WIN; MONTIETH TAKES SECOND OF TWIN 20'S TO HOLD ONTO POINTS LEAD; Zentmyer holds off Watson to claim first career Lincoln thundercar win

ABBOTTSTOWN, PA , 8/29/09 - It was a tale of two races at Lincoln Speedway Saturday night. And the more things changed, the more they stayed the same. Defending track champ Brian Montieth didn't take kindly to being edged by 23rd-starting Fred Rahmer for sixth at the line of the first of Twin 20's for the 410 sprint cars and losing the points lead to second-place finisher Alan Krimes. So he went out and won the second feature. The irony was that Montieth's seventh-place finish (eight-thousandths of-a-second behind Rahmer) put Montieth up one row to sixth starting spot for the second feature event. Montieth passed polesitter Bobby Weaver for third by the end of the fourth lap, then caught Cory Haas for second on a 10th-lap restart. He pulled onto the back bumper of race-long leader Johnny Mackison, Jr. during a 13th-lap caution for a spinning Brian Leppo in turn four, and chased the B&B Metal Refinishing #65 for the next two lap before making the race-winning pass under Mackison coming off turn four of lap 14. Montieth pulled away to a two and-a-half second lead on lap 17 before entering lapped traffic on the final lap and crossing .81 seconds ahead of Rahmer, who caught Mackison for second on lap 17. Ninth-starting Cody Darrah got by Mackison for third at the finish line, with Krimes coming from 11th to finish fifth. The win put Montieth and Krimes back where they started in points at the beginning of the night, with Montieth holding a narrow 10-point lead heading into the final points race of the season next Saturday night.

18-year-old Gerard McIntyre, Jr. scored his first career win in the crash-marred opener. The crashes started early, with Jim Siegel flipping in turns three and four of the first lap. Siegel collected Rahmer, who tipped onto his side. The crash also took out the Racers Used Part Warehouse #88 of Danny Dietrich, who needed brief medical attention before walking to the pits. Rahmer was able to return to the starting grid, and came through the field to edge Montieth for sixth at the line. That gave Krimes a brief 15-point lead entering the second feature of the night. McIntyre, who started sixth, grabbed the lead from polesitter and race-long leader Todd Rittenhouse, Jr. coming off turn two of an 11th-lap restart. That pass came just before a spectacular crash which saw third-place Doug Esh vault higher than the catch fence in turn two, bringing out the red. Though he was conscious and talking to emergency crews, Esh was taken to York Hospital with an unspecified back injury. Ott assumed third after the crash. But on the restart, second-place Rittenhouse did a wheelie coming off turn four and came down on Ott, sending the Miller Automotive/Don Ott Racing Engines #25 into a series of flips on the frontstretch, bringing out the red again. Ott was uninjured in the crash. That put 11th-starting Krimes in the runner-up spot for the restart, but McIntyre was up to the challenge, driving flawlessly over the remaining eight non-stop laps to cross .63 seconds ahead Krimes. Mark Smith, Darrah, and 18th-starting Daryn Pittman completed the top five. Sixth through tenth were Rahmer, Montieth; Rittenhouse , Brent Marks and Haas. Heats for the 28 "410" Sprints were won by Esh, McIntyre Jr., and Pat Cooper, with Cris Eash winning the consolation.

Waynesboro's Jamie Zentmyer started on the pole and led all 20-laps en route to his first career Lincoln Speedway thundercar win. Although points leader Duane Watson closed on the leader during a pair of restarts late in the event, Zentmyer was able to pull away each time to cross .38 seconds in front of the 2007 point champ. Defending track champ came from his distant 21st starting spot to finish third and stay within striking distance of Watson in the battle for the '09 Lincoln point title. Larry Neiderer and Al Crammer completed the top five. Mikey Guise was unable to start after a spectacular barrel roll along the front stretch catch fence in his heat. Though the crash knocked the roof off the car and the Ministry Motorsports #93 caught fire, Guise was uninjured. Heats for the 21 Thundercars were won by Zentmyer, Kyle Martin, and Jeff Wilson.

Next Saturday night, September 5th, it will be Fisher Auto Parts Night at Lincoln Speedway featuring the 410 Sprints, Super Sportsman and 358 Late Models. The special Labor Day Holiday Weekend show will give the Super Sportsman one last chance to tune up for the Annual Lawrence Chevrolet Sportsman 100 to be held on September 19th. In addition, the night will be capped off with a spectacular fireworks display. Gates will open at 5 PM, with hot laps at 6:30 PM and racing action getting underway at 7 PM.

WHITCOMB MEMORIAL FOR 358 SPRINT CARS RESCHEDULED FOR THIS SATURDAY

SELINSGROVE, Pa. – Selinsgrove Speedway officials rescheduled the Sixth Annual Joe Whitcomb Memorial for 358 sprint cars for this Saturday, Aug. 29, at 7:30 p.m. The 25-lap tribute race, which was rained out on June 20, will honor the memory of the late open wheel racer from Millersburg who succumbed to injuries sustained in a sprint car racing accident at the track on June 21, 2003.

The format for the Whitcomb Memorial will include time trials, heat races, and a B-main to determine the starting lineup for the $1,771-to-win main event. Qualifying will begin at 7:30 p.m. Track gates will open at 5 p.m.

Joining the 358 sprint cars will be the late models, pro stocks, and roadrunners in a four division racing program sponsored by Expert Settlement Services (ESS) of Selinsgrove. ESS offers a full array of real estate settlement services, assisting buyers, sellers, and owners who are refinancing with cost effective settlement services.

Previous winners of the Whitcomb Memorial include Nate Snyder of Halifax (2004); Kevin Nagy of East Brunswick, NJ (2005); and three-time defending winner Blane Heimbach of Selinsgrove.

Snyder took over the point lead after last Saturday’s main event in the chase for the A&A Auto Stores 358 sprint car track championship. He holds a 35-point advantage over Heimbach entering this weekend’s special event, which is one of three point races remaining in the 2009 season.

Whitcomb, who was a dedicated racer most of his life, began his career in go karts at the age of seven. He won hundreds of races in karting and was a three-time national karting champion. A highlight during his karting career was an appearance on ESPN.

Whitcomb became a regular competitor in 358 sprint car racing at Selinsgrove Speedway in 2001 driving his trademark blue and yellow No. 71 racer. That year Whitcomb was named Selinsgrove Speedway’s Sportsman of the Year.

He won his first sprint car race at Selinsgrove on June 8, 2002, ending the five-race win streak of champion Chad Layton. Whitcomb followed up that victory with another one on June 22, 2002 at Selinsgrove. He also won sprint car races at Williams Grove and Bridgeport Speedways during his career.

GREG HODNETT WINS THRILLER AT PORT ROYAL SPEEDWAY

August 23, 2009

Port Royal, Pa

It was the best Aumiller & Associate Insurance sprint car race of the season Saturday night at Port Royal Speedway. Greg Hodnett of Thomasville, PA won his fourth race of the year at the Juniata County oval. Hodnett felt he was too conservative during the final laps. It didn't look that way to the excited fans who watched the race run non stop following a lap one flip by T.J. Winegardener in turns one and two. Winegardener was not injured in the mishap. His car was heavily damaged.

Craig Robinson started on the pole and led the first four laps before giving way to Harrisburg driver Chad Layton on lap five. Hodnett started tenth and was already in third place on lap four. Layton gave up the lead to Hodnett on lap seven. With the event running non stop, heavy lapped traffic became an issue. Only 11 of the 26 car field completed all 25 laps. As Hodnett became trapped in traffic during lap 23, Layton dove under Hodnett in turn one to regain the lead. Layton appeared to open enough advantage to win the race, until the same situation presented itself again. As the pair entered turn three, en route to the checkered flag, Hodnett was able to catch and Layton. Hodnett exited turn four on the high side of the speedway and won the sprint to the checkered flag. Layton settled for second with Dave Ely third. Robinson finished fourth with Mike Erdley fifth. Todd Shaffer started ninth and came home sixth. Shaffer clinched the 2009 track championship with the finish. It was Shaffer's fifth title at the track. Mike Wagner, Lance Dewease, Daryn Pittman and Joey Hershey rounded out the top ten. Hodnett commented during post race interviews. ' We were pretty decent. I got a little conservative in traffic and got under a guy in turn four and he just stopped. I lost my momentum and then Chad (Layton) got a huge run and got by and I screwed up. Fortunate for us, he (Layton) was presented with the same problem there the last lap and we got a good run on the top and capped it off." Hodnett acknowledged lapped traffic was brutal. " That's the least you could say.", continued Hodnett. " That is exactly correct. Hodnett spoke about track conditions There's plenty of clay on this track right now. There's so much clay that it builds up a cushion and I tried to stay away from it. I could hardly run on it."

Car owner Jim Kline added his thoughts on his teams success after the event. " Tonight it (car) stayed on eight cylinders. The last time we were up here we broke a spark plug and ran most of the race on seven cylinders. That was an exciting one.(race) We've been real fast. We've been having a lot of motor problems. It's not any body's real fault, I don't think, it's just bad luck. The guys are doing a good job on the wrenches and he (Hodnett) pretty much put a clinic on tonight,"

Heat races were won by Wagner, Michael Heckman and Winegardner.

Gary Beward of Mifflintown won the 20 lapAB Auto Glass/Mike Cleck Paving late model feature for the second straight week. Matt Murphy grabbed the early lead from the outside pole before giving way to Tim Fedder on lap six. Fedder stayed out front until Beward took control on lap eleven. Beward had some anxious moments en route to the checkered flag. " Me and Tim went at it and he was really quick. I didn't know if I was going to get around him and I got around him and then during the caution the throttle stuck wide open and I thought this can't be happening.I thought I'm not giving it up now. ( the lead) I should of maybe pulled it in but I thought I'm outside. If I'd of been in traffic I of had to pull in. I thought I'm gonna run it to the end. I couldn't get the car out of gear to go to the scales. It worked out but it was a little risky." Beward continued discussing his back to back wins by saying, " I let my mechanics make most of the calls. We keep an eye on the track and (car owner) Ed Powell gives me real good equipment and I should be getting the job done."

Waylon Wagner came from tenth starting spot to finish second. Fedder finished third with Andy Haus fourth. Scotty Haus finished fifth, behind his son. Sixth through tenth were Jason Miller, Jere Wierman, Bryan Sipe, Mike Hess and Scott Flickinger. Eric Zembower earned the hard charger of the race award after starting in 20TH position and finishing 11TH.. Heat races for the 25 car field were won by Wierman, Flickinger and Beward.

Mitch Hack flipped during the second heat race severly damaging his car. Hack was not injured in the mishap.

The PA 305 sprint car series visited the track with 31 cars present. Mike Wagner II visited victory lane for the second time this season and was joined by his parents. Wagner got the lead during lap 17 after catching leader Randy Kaylor in lapped traffic. Reed Thompson finished third with Joey Hershey fourth. Nate Gramley was fifth. Joe Zapp, Erin Statler, Tyler Bear, Brent Comp and Roger Irvine filled out the top ten. Heat races were won by Zapp, Alan Kumps, and Bear. Mark Watkins won the consie.

" It really feels good to win two in a row here.", began Wagner. " I have to go back to school. We have to start making some real money. I go to school in Freemont Ohio. I have 25 credits this semester so it's a lot of work." Wagner is majoring in nuclear medicine technology. Wagner's father, Mike , added his thoughts. " It's nice to see him win. He did better than I did tonight.We went with a little different set up on his car and I was hoping it would work and it did."

Teresa Kepner won theZimmerman Truck Lines powder puff feature and clinched the track championship. Kepner was joined in the winners circle by her husband and son. " I almost had a track championship before and I lost it. I didn't know if I could pull it off or not. I was psyching myself out. Then I decided to just have fun. I just went for it."

Heidi Kauffman led the first three laps and finished second.. Julie Colyer came home third with Holly Renninger fourth. Amanda Bassler was fifth. Carmen Palm and Tammy Speece completed the field.

Action resumes August 29 when the 6TH annual Butch Renninger Memorial race will be run. The late models will race for a minimum $ 2,000 dollar to win top prize.

CANNON POWERS TO SIXTH 358 SPRINT CAR WIN; ADAMS SCORES FIRST OF YEAR IN LATE MODELS

SELINSGROVE, Pa. – Pat Cannon of Etters matched his 2008 win total at Selinsgrove Speedway with his sixth win of the 2009 season in Saturday night’s 25-lap 358 sprint car feature. The $1,500 victory marked Cannon’s 16th career at the track behind the wheel of the Highlands’ Tire Service No. 3.

Nate Snyder of Halifax, following his fourth-place finish, has taken the point lead from Blane Heimbach of Selinsgrove in the A&A Auto Stores 358 sprint car standings. Heimbach was sidelined with motor troubles in Saturday night’s main event.

Tony Adams of Sunbury powered to his first win of the season and the 13th of his career in the 25-lap late model feature. Adams became the division’s ninth different winner this season.

Jason Smith of Williamsport won his fifth race of the season in the 15-lap pro stock feature, while Brad Mitch of McClure won his first race in nearly three years in the 12-lap roadrunner race.

Selinsgrove Speedway will present the Joe Whitcomb Memorial for 358 sprint cars plus a complete program of late models, pro stocks, and roadrunners at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 29, sponsored by Expert Settlement Services. Track gates will open at 5 p.m.

The Whitcomb Memorial, which was rained out on June 20, will pay $1,771 to win and $225 to start the 25-lap A-main. Time trials, heat races, and a B-main will be the format for qualifying.

Track officials also announced the Late Model Open on Saturday, Sept. 5, will pay $3,000 to win and $235 to start.

Second-place starter Ryan Kissinger raced into the lead at the start of the sprint car feature. Kissinger was chased by polesitter Josh Beard, while fifth-place starter Colby Womer and ninth-place starter Davie Franek battled for the third position.

At the end of the fifth lap, Kissinger and Beard began to pull away from the field, while Womer, Franek, and fourth-place starter Chuck Paige raced in the top five. On the eighth circuit, 12th-place starter Pat Cannon moved by Paige for fifth and at the halfway point advanced to fourth in traffic.

The race’s first stoppage was on lap 16, when Shannon Mausteller flipped in his No. 21 in turns one and two. Mausteller escaped injury in the crash. On the lap 17 restart, Cannon drove by Womer for third in the second turn, then passed Beard for second in the fourth turn.

On the 18th circuit, Cannon made the winning pass by Kissinger racing off of the second turn. On the 23rd lap, the caution flag unfurled for Blane Heimbach, who stopped his sprint car on the backstretch with a reported blown engine.

The sprint to the finish saw Cannon pull away and 15th-place starter Nate Snyder advance to the fourth spot after a battle with Womer. For the finish, Cannon was victorious by 1.8 seconds over Kissinger, Beard, Snyder, and Womer.

Third-place starter Brett Schadel took the lead at the start of the late model feature. Schadel was chased by second-place starter Dylan Yoder for the first lap until fourth-place starter Jeff Smith advanced to second.

The event’s first caution flag unfurled on lap four for a seven-car melee in turns one and two; there were no driver injuries reported. When the race resumed, Schadel continued to set the pace while eighth-place starter Tony Adams moved into the third position.

On the eighth circuit, Smith took the lead from Schadel with an inside pass racing off of turn four. Schadel withdrew from the race two laps later with a reported broken shock on his race car.

On the ensuing restart, teammates Smith and Adams dueled for the lead position. Lap after lap, Adams would pull even with Smith and challenge for the lead. It was on a lap 13 restart when Adams secured the lead with an inside pass entering turn one. Meanwhile, 12th-place starter Jeff Rine moved within striking distance of the leaders.

With six laps remaining, Rine passed Smith for second and closed in on Adams. At the checkered flag, however, Adams was victorious by half of a second over Rine and fifth-place starter Donnie Schick, who passed Smith for third with two laps remaining. Smith and 15th-place starter Steve Campbell rounded out the top five.

In the pro stock feature, polesitter Gerald Kratzer drove his race car into the lead position while third-place starter AJ Stroup trailed in second. On the third circuit, Stroup secured the lead with inside pass by Kratzer while racing off of turn four.

Through most of the event, Kratzer, sixth-place starter AJ Hoffman, and seventh-place starter Jason Smith battled for the lead position. On the eighth circuit, Smith horsepowered his way into second and set his sites on Stroup.

Racing out of turn four, Smith passed Stroup for the lead using the inside lane. Smith held the field at bay for the duration of the race and posted a .98 of a second victory over Hoffman, Stroup, fifth-place starter Shaun Miller, and Kratzer.

On the first lap of the roadrunner feature, ninth-place starter and point leader Bob Bussey was involved in a backstretch incident that forced him to withdraw from the race. On the restart, polesitter Kyle Miller drove into the early lead.

Miller kept his roadrunner in front of the pack for the first two laps until second-place starter Jason Sherman made a pass for the lead. Fifth-place starter Brad Mitch began to show his speed in the first half of the race and reeled in Sherman. On the seventh lap, Mitch made the winning pass using the inside lane racing off turn four.

Mitch then had to contend with 10th-place starter Ricky Bender and eighth-place starter Keith Bissinger. Following a close three-car battle for the lead, it was Mitch who came away with the victory by a mere .89 of a second over Bender, Bissinger, Sherman, and Marlin Dunham.

LINCOLN FORCED TO CANCEL FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE MARCH; Kids Night rescheduled to next Saturday; Points titles going down to the final shows

ABBOTTSTOWN, PA , 8/21/09 - After reeling off 22 straight racing programs, Lincoln Speedway was forced to bow to the weather Saturday night, August 22nd. With the threat of rain all around the Central Pennsylvania area, Lincoln Speedway promoters Bob and Don Leiby, along with Alan Kreitzer, were hopeful as the a light drizzle began to fall just 15 minutes before the gates were scheduled to open. With no significant change in the radar after two hours of watching and waiting, the promoters were forced to cancel the racing program. "Kids Night" has been rescheduled for next Saturday, August 29th. It was also the second of two York County Racing Club Nights on the season, and promoters will check with the club before rescheduling the next club night before season's end. The cancellation now reduces the number of 410 sprint car point races remaining in '09 to three, two of which will be the "Twin 20's" next Saturday night. That points chase will likely go down the final laps of the last points race on Fisher Auto Parts Night September 5th. Defending champ Brian Montieth holds a ten-point lead over Alan Krimes entering next Saturday's Twin 20's. The 358 sprint cars now have just one event remaining on the season, the 358 Sprint Car Championship to be held on Saturday, September 12th. That puts Dale Hammaker in the driver's seat for the 2009 "358" sprint point championship. He has a 165 point lead on Glenndon Forsythe heading into the final event. The only other driver who has a mathematical shot at the point title is defending champ Jeff Rohrbaugh, who is 180 points behind Hammaker.

Next Saturday night, August 29th, Lincoln Speedway will hold Twin 20's for the 410 Sprints in the next to last point event in the season-long battle for the Lawrence Chevrolet 410 Sprint Championship. Rounding out the evening's racing program will be the always thrilling thundercars. It'll also be Kids Night, with prizes for the kids one-week later than planned. Racing action will get underway at 7 PM, with gates opening at 5 PM and hot laps taking to the track at 6:30 PM.

Williams Grove Speedway

ADAM WILT AND MARK SMITH SPLIT TWIN 20s

MECHANICSBURG, PA -- Adam Wilt and Mark Smith won the rain-delayed twin 20-lap features for sprint cars Friday night at Williams Grove Speedway. On the initial start Gerard McIntyre beat Wilt into the first turn and led the first lap until a red flag for a fourth turn crash involving Cody Darrah and Doug Esh caused the race to be restarted. On the restart Wilt drove off the front row and shot past McIntyre exiting the second corner, then immediately began to drive away from the field. The 22-year old rookie led the feature for 22 laps two weeks ago before a crash ruined his night, but this time he was not to be denied. A ninth lap caution had no effect on Wilt, who again pulled away to a substantial lead and went on to win by 3.69 seconds over McIntyre. It was Wilt's first career victory at Williams Grove while McIntyre, who is also a rookie, scored his best finish. Jim Siegel claimed third ahead of Aaron Ott and Brent Marks. Alan Krimes, Mark Smith, Chris Meleason, Todd Shaffer and Chad Layton completed the top ten. With a ten-car inversion for the second feature Layton and Shaffer started on the front row. Shaffer set the pace with Mark Smith, who started fourth, moving into contention after taking the runnerup spot from Layton on lap four. Smith used a bold inside move in traffic through turns three and four on lap 16 to take the lead from Shaffer, then rolled to his first win of the season. Shaffer,Layton, Marks and Darrah completed the top five ahead of Siegel, Krimes, Brian Leppo, Meleason and Ott. Montieth and Leppo earned $250 Hard Charger awards from Beam Carpet of Carlisle. Smith set a new 20-lap track record of 6:08.588 eclipsing Lance Dewease's 7-year old mark of 6:08.77. Heats for the 31 sprint cars in competition went to Wilt, Krimes and Dave Ely. The consolation race was won by Cody Darrah. Jesse Snyder won the 15-lap sidewinder feature. A shower caused a two-hour delay prior to the start of the first sprint car feature.

TWIN 20s FOR SPRINT CARS ON AUGUST 21

MECHANICSBURG, PA -- Fred Rahmer already holds the two most important records in the storied history of Williams Grove Speedway, but on August 21 he will have a golden opportunity to extend an amazing winning streak when Twin 20-lap features will be presented Rahmer's milestones include eight track championships and a career total of 79 sprint car victories at Williams Grove, but one of his other records involves a winning streak which began 19 years ago. Since 1990 Rahmer has won at least one feature at Williams Grove every year through 2008. However, that streak is in jeopardy because he is winless thus far in 2009 with the season heading into the homestretch. And Lance Dewease who has already won this year, is right behind Rahmer with 18 consecutive winning seasons. Rahmer's first win of 2009 could certainly come on August 21, since he has excelled in races of a 20-lap distance throughout his Hall of Fame career. Fifteen of his 79 victories including two of his three URC wins came in 20-lap features. Rahmer, 51, of Salfordville, Pa., and Van May are the only drivers ever to sweep a Twin 20s program at Williams Grove. This year's version of the Twin 20s will begin at 7:45. In addition to sprint car racing, the Sidewinders will also be on the card and a fireworks display will be presented. There will be no time trials for the Twin 20s. The first feature will be lined up according to the speedway's handicapping system. The winner will draw for inversion of the second feature. Reserved seats are still available for the Cleveland Brothers National Open weekend on October 2-3. The finale of the rain-plagued Summer Nationals will be run along with a complete World of Outlaws program on October 2, and the following night the National Open will be presented. Some reserved seats remain for National Open weekend and credit card orders are accepted at 717.697.5000 during business hours.

REINHART FOOD SERVICE FOUR DIVISION SHOW THIS SATURDAY AT SELINSGROVE SPEEDWAY

SELINSGROVE, Pa. -- Selinsgrove Speedway will present a four division show of 358 sprint cars, late models, pro stocks, and roadrunners at 7:30 p.m. this Saturday, Aug. 22, sponsored by Reinhart Food Service of Coal Township. Track gates will open at 5 p.m.

With only four point races remaining in the 2009 season, Blane Heimbach of Selinsgrove gained a slight edge in the chase for the A&A Auto Stores 358 sprint car championship after last weekend’s race. Heimbach holds a 105-point lead over Nate Snyder of Halifax entering this Saturday’s race.

While Heimbach and Snyder race to rack up points to claim the honors of track champion, Pat Cannon of Etters will undoubtedly end the season as the division’s top winner, with five victories already recorded in the books since returning to Selinsgrove in late May.

After driving to his eighth win of the season last Saturday, Jeff Rine of Danville is destined to clinch his fifth career MAPCO Machine Shop late model track title this year. Rine holds a commanding 785-point lead over Tony Adams of Sunbury in the standings.

Jason Smith of Williamsport leads the Salem RV Center pro stock standings by 520 points over AJ Hoffman of Richfield. Smith and Hoffman top the list of winners with four victories each this season; however, both drivers will be seeking their first win at the track in nearly two months. In last Saturday’s feature, sophomore driver Cody McFadden of Montoursville became the division’s second first-time winner this year.

Bob Bussey of Northumberland continues to lead the Byers Built Engines/Collier Paving & Construction roadrunner standings by just 25 points over Scott Dunham of Selinsgrove. Dunham’s brother, Marlin Dunham, is also in title contention, just 65 points behind the leader in third.

Reinhart is the third-largest, privately-held food service distributor in the United States. For more than 30 years, Reinhart has provided restaurants and venues such as Selinsgrove Speedway with 14,000-plus items ranging from fresh poultry to beverages to food service equipment.

Selinsgrove Raceway Park will present a program of go kart and micro sprint car racing at 7 p.m. this Friday, Aug. 21. Todd Hoover of Mt. Pleasant Mills leads the Selinsgrove Ford micro sprint car standings by 120 points over defending champion Ken Duke of Selinsgrove. Last Friday night, Tyler Snook of Beavertown tied Hoover with three feature wins at the track this season.

CANNON, RINE & BENDER ADD TO THEIR IMPRESSIVE WIN TOTALS; MCFADDEN SCORES FIRST CAREER VICTORY IN PRO STOCKS;

SELINSGROVE, Pa. – Pat Cannon of Etters drove to his fifth win of the season and the 15th of his career in Saturday night’s 25-lap main event for 358 sprint cars at Selinsgrove Speedway. It was Cannon’s first win at the track since his Firecracker 30 victory July 4 behind the wheel of the Highlands’ Tire Service No. 3.

Jeff Rine of Danville continued his domination of the late model division with his eighth victory of the season and the 54th of his career at the track.

Cody McFadden of Montoursville drove to his first career win in the 15-lap pro stock feature, while Ricky Bender of Jolliett won his seventh race of the season in the roadrunner division.

Selinsgrove Speedway will present a four division program of 358 sprint cars, late models, pro stocks, and roadrunners at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 22, sponsored by Reinhardt Food Service.

Second-place starter Ryan Kissinger powered into the lead at the start of the sprint car feature. Kissinger was trailed by polesitter Tom Wise for the first four laps until sixth-place starter Colby Womer advanced to second.

The event’s first caution flag unfurled on lap five when Alan Spriggle made contact with the inside third turn guardrail. On the ensuing restart, Kissinger and Womer raced in a torrid battle for the lead position while 12th-place starter Pat Cannon rocketed into the third position.

On the 11th lap, Womer was scored as the leader before Matt Heimbach rolled to a stop on the frontstretch, bringing out the caution flag. For the next several laps an intense battle unfolded between Womer, Kissinger, and Cannon for the lead.

Cannon secured the lead with an inside pass by Womer in the second turn on the 15th lap. Once in front, Cannon began to pull away from the field. Womer, however, turned in a solid second-place run, while ninth-place starter Davie Franek, Kissinger, and 19th-place starter Blane Heimbach raced in the top five.

At the finish, Cannon was victorious by 3.9 seconds over Womer, Franek, B. Heimbach, and 10th-place starter TJ Stutts.

Front row starters Matt Cochran and Troy Miller pulled away from the field at the start of the late model feature and raced side-by-side for the lead for several laps. Fourth-place starter Donnie Schick and fifth-place starter Dylan Yoder joined in the battle at the front of the pack by lap five.

On lap seven, Robbie Smith brought out the event’s first caution flag when he spun in turns three and four. When the race restarted, the five cars of Cochran, Miller, Schick, Yoder, and 12th-place starter Jeff Rine dueled for positions.

On the ninth lap, Rine stormed around the outside and pulled into the lead in turn two. At the midway point of the race, Rine was leading Schick, Cochran, 11th-place starter Coleby Frye, and Yoder.

Frye advanced to second with 10 laps remaining and began to reel in Rine. Yoder, who was challenging Schick for third, brushed the third turn wall on lap 22, ending his night. The final restart saw Frye attempt to pass Rine in turn one with each passing lap to no avail. At the checkered flag, Rine was victorious by two seconds over Schick, Frye, Tony Adams, and Steve Campbell.

Fifth-place starter Cody McFadden led the first three laps of the pro stock feature until ninth-place starter AJ Hoffman made a pass for the lead racing off turn four on the fourth lap. Hoffman, a four-time winner this year, led through lap seven, when McFadden horsepowered his way back into the front spot.

The second half of the race saw sixth-place starter Shaun Miller show some speed. Miller raced a close third behind McFadden and Hoffman. The last couple of laps McFadden was able to distance himself from the rest of the field and post a 1.7-second margin of victory over third-place starter Kyle Bachman, Dan Jensen, Miller, and Doug Minium. Hoffman’s race car developed mechanical problems on the final lap.

Third-place starter Brad Mitch raced into the lead at the drop of the green flag in the thrilling roadrunner feature. Mitch was chased by sixth-place starter Mike Kiehl. On the third lap, ninth-place starter Ricky Bender advanced to second and challenged Mitch for the lead.

On the eighth circuit, Bender was scored as the leader, only to have Mitch reclaim the front spot a lap later. During the final laps, seventh-place starter Marlin Dunham made it a three-car battle at the front of the pack.

Racing off turn four for the checkered flag, Bender moved to the bottom of the race track and scored the win by inches in a dramatic finish. Mitch, M. Dunham, Kiehl, and Scott Dunham Jr. completed the top five.

DIETRICH COMES FROM MID-PACK TO CLAIM SECOND '09 LINCOLN 410 SPRINT WIN; Curt Michael scores third career Lincoln URC victory

ABBOTTSTOWN, PA , 8/15/09 - He might have not know where he was, but the fans did. And Danny Dietrich took advantage of a late caution to win a three-car battle for the lead and claim his second win of the year in the 25-lap "410" sprint car feature at Lincoln Speedway Saturday night. " I don't even know where I came from," said Dietrich jokingly in victory lane. "At the beginning I thought we were going to be in trouble. We went back and Cory (Haas) and Cris (Eash) passed up like we were sitting still and the next thing you know here comes Alan (Krimes) and the caution comes out. I'm sitting in 10th and thinking we'll just salvage something out of this. I didn't feel good at all." "We went back green and it seems like I was racing with Cris and Alan the whole time and the next thing you know the caution comes out and I'm sitting in third," said Dietrich, "I couldn't believe it! I didn't realize where I was." Actually, Dietrich was in third by the time the final caution of the race came out for a stopped Doug Esh on the backstretch of lap 20. The caution was a bad break for tenth-starting Cory Haas, who had chased down Big Block Weaver and took the lead exiting turn two as the caution flag waved, forcing Haas back to second for the restart. One lap later, Weaver, Haas, and Dietrich raced three-wide into turn one, with Haas doing a '360' and continuing but losing several spots. At the same time, Dietrich took to the cushion to drive around Weaver for the race lead. From there, he drove away to a 2.58-second win over Cris Eash, who passed Weaver for the runner-up spot on the last lap. Weaver settled for third, with 12th-starting Alan Krimes fourth and 14th-starting Jim Siegel fifth. Completing the top ten were 22nd-starting Brian Montieth, polesitter Ed Aiken (who led the first 10 laps before yielding to Weaver), Haas, Brian Leppo, and Brent Marks. Heats for the 26 "410" Sprints were won by Todd Rittenhouse Jr., Aikin, and Big Block Weaver, with Esh winning the Consolation.

Curt Michael scored his second win of the season in the 25-lap United Racing Company feature, catching race-long leader Justin Collett for the lead as the two entered heavy lapped traffic on lap 18. Michael claimed his 41st career URC victory by 2.27 seconds over Collett, with point leader JJ Grasso (who started tenth) crossing third, Brent Schoenly fourth, and Davey Sammons fifth. Sixth through tenth were Art Leidl, Nick Schlauch, Jr., Becca Anderson, Chris Coyle, and Josh Weller. Jimmy Stitzel picked up a $300 hard charger bonus from the family and friends of 1978 URC Lincoln winner John Drauker for coming from 23rd-starting spot to finish 15th. Heats for the 23 URC Sprints were won by Ed Wagner, Tim Hogue, and Collett. Hogue was uninjured in a turn three flip on lap two that was the only caution of the feature.

Next Saturday night, August 22nd, it will be KIDS NIGHT and York County Racing Club Night, with hundreds of prizes given away to children in attendance and $2 off admission for all card-carrying members of the club. All three regular point divisions will be on hand as they vie for precious points in the battle for their respective track championships - Miller Brothers Chevrolet 410 Sprints, Keizer Aluminum Wheels 358 Sprints and Thundercars. Racing action gets underway at 7 PM with gates opening at 5 PM, and hot laps taking to the track around 6:30 PM.
