Williams Grove Speedway

MONTIETH EDGES KAUFFMAN AND HODNETT AT WILLIAMS GROVE

MECHANICSBURG, PA -- Brian Montieth was disappointed with his performance in last week’s Summer Nationals at Williams Grove Speedway, but he came back with a vengeance to win the 25-lap sprint car feature on Friday night. Keith Kauffman took the lead from Derek Sell on the first lap and drove straight to the high cushion. The veteran from Mifflintown began to pull away from the field and appeared to be headed for his 52nd career victory, but Montieth had other ideas. Montieth started tenth, but was passed by Greg Hodnett on the first lap. Hodnett, who started 12th, was up to fourth on lap two. By lap seven he was third behind Kauffman and Adam Wilt. Montieth took third from Hodnett on the 16th circuit, then shot past Wilt two tours later. At this point Kauffman had a big lead, but the man they call The Edge hadn’t given up. Montieth caught Kauffman with two laps left and Hodnett was right behind him. With the first three running under a blanket exiting turn four with the white flag waving, Kauffman was above the cushion, Montieth in the middle and Hodnett on the inside. Montieth emerged with the lead, then pulled away on the last lap to win by 1.48 seconds. Kauffman held off Hodnett for second with Wilt fourth and Brent Marks fifth. Justin Henderson, Aaron Ott, Daryn Pittman, Mark Smith and Danny Dietrich completed the top ten. Montieth earned $4120 for his sixth career victory at Williams Grove and second this season. Ott, Kauffman and Marks won heats for the 24 sprint cars. Pat Cannon started 12th and took the lead from Kevin Nouse on the fifteenth circuit, then went on to win the 20-lap 358-sprint feature. Nouse, Scott Geesey, Jay Reichart and Blane Heimbach completed the top five. Heats for the 35 358-sprints went to Ricky Stonebraker, Tim Berkheimer, Nouse and Cannon. Jay Galloway won the consolation race.

McCLELLAND BACK IN VICTORY LANE AT TRAIL-WAY; WAGAMAN NEW POINTS LEADER

KYLE MARTIN BEST OF THUNDERCARS;

JASON CHRONISTER CLAIMS CAREER FIRST IN LIMITED STOCKS

Hanover, PA (07/30/10) – Lapped traffic was a factor in more ways than one in Brad McClelland’s fourth win of the year in the 25-lap “358” sprint car feature at Trail-Way Speedway Friday night.

“That was a bad break for Billy (Dietrich), and good luck for us,” said McClelland after scoring his division-leading 24th career win, “I saw there were five laps to go, and I thought to myself that I needed lapped traffic. Fortunately, the lapped traffic came to us, and it worked out.”

McClelland started ninth after polesitter Brian Suchy opted for the rear with brake rotor problems. That put Michael Ruttkamp on the pole, and he led the first 21 laps before McClelland drove around him on a 22nd lap restart.

The final caution of the race was for Dietrich, who started fifth and was running second when the lapped cars of Nick Palmerino and Tim Stallings got together and collected the Racers Used Parts Warehouse #88 in turn two of lap 22. Dietrich was done for the night, and credited with an 18th-place finish.

Once in front, McClelland drove away from the field.

“The track was beautiful tonight,” said McClelland, “It was good racing!”

Ruttkamp ran the best race of his dirt track career to finish second, with Joe Trone, Jr. crossing third. Second-starting Trevor Little and Keith Prutzman completed the top five.

Sixth through tenth were Tim Wagaman, Mike Bittinger, Randy Whisler, Randy Davis, Jr., and Scott Fisher.

Dale Hammaker threw a rod in his heat and was unable to start the feature. That, combined with Wagaman’s sixth-place finish vaulted Wagaman into the season-long 358 sprint car point series lead.

Also unable to start the feature was Jeff Rohrbaugh, who was driving the Berwager #4U.

Heats for the 23 “358” sprinters were won by Little, Suchy, and Prutzman.

Kyle Martin started on the pole, spotted the lead to outside front row starter Will Walls for the first six laps, then took the lead when Walls slowed on the backstretch of lap seven to score his third win of the year in the 20-lap thundercar feature.

Brian Walls and Rick Weaver were the only two other cars running at the end of the non-stop event.

The lone heat for the seven thundercars was won by Will Walls.

Jason Chronister started on the outside of the front row and led every lap for his first career win in the 12-lap limited stock feature.

Brother Matt Chronister completed a family sweep with a second-place finish, followed by one-time winner Tom Senseney, Jr.

Heats for the 21 limited stocks were won by Jason Chronister and Donald Hopkins, Jr.

Tomorrow (7/31), the 600cc and 270cc Micro Sprints are on the schedule with the 1000cc Sidewinders, Scramble Cars, Starlite 4-cylinder Oval and Strictly Stocks. Gates open at 4:30 p.m. with racing beginning at 6:30 p.m.

Next Friday (8/6), the 358 Sprint Cars will compete in the first night of a two-night Lincoln/ Trail-Way “Shootout.” The “Shootout,” sponsored by Pancho’s Racing Products, Hoosier Tire Mid-Atlantic, Travis Racing Engines, and Insinger Performance, will award $2,000 in bonus money to be divided among the top ten race teams in combined finishes next Friday and Saturday. The Thundercars and Limited Stocks are also on the schedule. Gates open at 5:30 p.m. and racing begins at 7:30 p.m.

Next Saturday (8/7), the 600cc and 270cc Micro Sprints are on the schedule with the Central PA Legends, Scramble Cars, Starlite 6-cylinder Oval and Strictly Stocks. Gates open at 4:30 p.m. with racing beginning at 6:30 p.m.

Williams Grove Speedway

GROVE HANDICAPPED RACES PROFITABLE FOR LANCE DEWEASE

MECHANICSBURG, PA -- While some very successful drivers have found it difficult to win a handicapped sprint car race at Williams Grove Speedway, it has never been a problem for Lance Dewease. The 5-time track champion has won two of the five handicapped races run at the Grove this season. He’ll get an opportunity to win another one on Friday evening, July 30, when the sprint cars will be joined by the 358s. The first heat is scheduled to start at 8:00. Both divisions will be handicapped according to the drivers’ earnings averages at Williams Grove with those who have made more money starting behind those who have earned less. The Grove’s handicapping system forces the most successful drivers to pass cars if they are going to win races, and Dewease has been a master of this system. His wins this season have come from the 9th and 11th starting positions respectively. Dewease, 44, of Fayetteville, has won 73 sprint car features at the Grove, and the large majority of them have come in handicapped races. None of his previous handicapped wins, however, has been as profitable as either of his two in 2010. Because of an increase in the base payoff along with bonus money contingent upon starting position and laps led, Dewease’s wins have been worth $4190 and $4290. Other winners of handicapped races at the Grove this year include Stevie Smith, Mark Smith and Danny Dietrich. The 358s have provided plenty of action in handicapped races as well with Pat Cannon winning twice from the 12th starting position while Cory Haas and Scott Geesey each won from 10th.

“WORLD ENERGY SYSTEMS WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP FOR 358 SPRINT CARS” PICKS UP STEAM; Associate sponsors add contingency prizes to $12,000+ purse

ABBOTTSTOWN, PA – The most lucrative “358” sprint car race in the history of Lincoln Speedway continues to gain momentum. Since announcing the “World Energy Systems World Championship for 358 Sprints” to be held on Saturday, August 7, 2010, World Energy Systems, Greencastle, PA, and Lincoln Speedway have seen several additional companies step forward to provide contingency prizes for the championship event. First it was Livingston’s Lawn Care, sponsor of three different 358 sprint car teams, which announced it will provide a $100 “fast time” award and $100 “hard charger” award for the event. Next, Hoosier Tire Mid-Atlantic announced it would give a rear Hoosier tire to the 4th, 8th, 12th, and 16th place finishers in the 30-lap “World Championship” race. Right behind was VRP Shocks, which will provide a $250 gift certificate toward a set of shocks to the 5th, 10th, and 15th place finishers. Keizer Aluminum Wheels, sponsor of the 358 sprint car point series at Lincoln, then announced it would give a set of aluminum hubs to the 2nd and 6th place finishers and give front wheels to the 3rd and 7th place finishers. Miller’s Racing Parts came on board by providing a rear Hoosier tire to the 9th place finisher and a front Hoosier tire to the 11th place finisher. And Wings Unlimited then joined the party by offering a $200 discount on a set of wings to the 13th and 14th place finishers, ensuring that the first 16 spots in the “World Championship” receive a contingency prize. As it does for all Lincoln Speedway time trial shows, Hank’s Performance Products will provide a $500 “Hank’s Perfect Performance” award to any driver who can set fast time, win his/her heat, and win the “World Championship” event. To top it all off, the “World Energy Systems World Championship for 358 Sprints” will be night number-two of the two-night Trail-Way/Lincoln “Shootout” for 358 sprint cars. The ten race teams with the best two-night combined finishes at Trail-Way Speedway on Friday, August 6th and Lincoln August 7th will share $2,000 in bonus money provided by “Shootout” sponsors Insinger Performance, Pancho’s Racing Products, Travis Racing Engines, and Hoosier Tire Mid-Atlantic. The inaugural 30-lap “World Energy Systems World Championship for 358 Sprint Cars” will now offer an additional $6,380 increase over the normal Lincoln purse and pay $5,500 to the winner. The number “55” is an important part of the World Energy Systems message, representing the percentage of energy savings homeowners can expect in electric and gas bills. World Energy Systems is introducing radiant reflector technology developed by NASA over 40 years ago to protect astronauts in the Apollo program from temperatures that ranged from 250̊F to -460̊F. This reflective insulation has been applied to every spacecraft since then, including unmanned spacecraft with delicate instruments that need protection from extreme temperatures. And it’s the same technology World Energy Systems uses in consumers’ homes today, reducing heat transfer from attic to living spaces, extending the life of air conditioning units, and retaining heat generated indoors during winter months. World Energy Systems also offers garage door insulation kits, water heater insulation, Earth Massage showerheads, and EvoLUX LED lightbulbs. World Energy Systems, which also sponsors the #34 “358” sprint car of Austin Reed, has added $4,000 to the normal championship winner’s share, and will also provide a six-foot trophy to the winner. Lincoln promoters Bob and Don Leiby and Alan Kreitzer originally added $1,500 to the total purse, but have since increased that to $2,380, making the total purse for the “World Energy Systems World Championship for Sprint Cars” $12,065.

 

 

MIKE HESS WINS FIRST LATE MODEL FEATURE OF SEASON

July 25, 2010

Port Royal, PA

Mike Hess has been racing dirt late models since 1976. Over the years, Port Royal Speedway has been a regular stop on his racing schedule. Hess thrilled fans by parking his familiar red no. 39 racer in the winners circle Saturday night at the Juniata County oval. Hess dominated the race, withstanding several caution periods for spins and minor skirmishes. Hess started on the pole and led all 20 laps. Current point leader Scotty Haus tried to snatch away the win after a lap 19 restart. Haus dove low under Hess entering turn one but the move didn't work. Hess drove away exiting turn two and went on to score the win. Hess knew what Haus needed to do to get the win and he was ready for it. " I knew his only chance was on the bottom.", said Hess. " I used the high side and drove off the corner to the win. I could hear him, but didn't know for sure how close he was. I've got to thank my engine builder and crew for this win. We got a late start just waiting for parts.", Hess added.

Haus settled for second with Gary Beward third. Mitch Hack and Waylon Wagner rounded out the top five. The remainder of the top ten included Tim Wilson, Bryon Sipe, Andy Haus, Scott Flickinger and Tim Gray. Heat races for the 21 car field were won by Beward and Hess.

The 15 lap Miller Auto Parts pro stock feature was a barn burner. Four drivers raced each other for the win. Tim Krape of Bellefonte earned his first win of the season after grabbing the lead from Jason Zook on lap ten. Zook finished second. Derick Garman and Harold Ranck, Jr., who were also in the battle, finished third and fourth respectively. Point leader John Heane was fifth. Sixth through tenth were Keith Garman, Jamin Chapman, Dan Berry, Tracker and Josh Angle.

Jason Davis passed Ryan Renninger for the lead and went on to win the 30 lap Olde Dress Factory Antique Shop enduro dash over Bill Powell. Davis winning move came during lap 11. Ryan Leister finished third with Craig Imes fourth. Steve Harlan was fifth. Completing the top ten were Renninger, Jan Powell, Chris Heller, Deron Henry and Rick Adair. 19 enduro cars were pit side.

In super sportsman action, 25 racers towed to the track for two feature events. Lanny Hake drove a chassis which he built himself in 1999, to victory in the make up event. Hake's win was popular with fans. Eric Eckert finished second with Scott Dellinger, Carmen Perigo, Jr., and Jay Fannasy also in the top five. The remainder of the top ten included Dave Socks, Greg Foster, Frankie Herr, Mike Enders, and Aaron Eichelberger. Hake inherited the lead after race leader Jason Fry dropped out during lap 11.

In the night cap, it appeared John Stehman was on his way to a win until he flipped his car in turn two. The lap 13 accident eliminated Stehman from action. Rick Barr inherited the lead after starting sixth. Frankie Herr and Barr traded slider moves during several laps. Barr held on for the win. Herr was second with Russ Mitten third. Carmen Perigo Jr., and Jay Fannasy filled out the top five. The remainder of the top ten included Greg Foster, Mike Enders, Dave Socks, Ryan Rupp, and Scott Dellinger.Socks, Foster and Herr won heat races.

Racing continues Saturday July 31 when the 20 lap Deryl Stong Memorial race for pro stocks will be run. The Aumiller & Associate Insurance sprint cars and AB Auto Glass/Gray's Towing & Licensing Service late models are also part of the program. The late models have two feature events. One is a make up from July 17. Gates open at 5:30 p.m. with racing at 7:30 P.m.

THUNDERSTORMS WIPE OUT PREMIER AUTO WORKS/AUTO LOCATOR NIGHT AT LINCOLN SPEEDWAY

A strong line of mid-afternoon thunderstorms that included tornado watches and a tornado warning as close as northern York County forced promoters to cancel Sunday's Premier Auto Works/Auto Locator Night at Lincoln Speedway. With a thunderstorm warning in effect 8:00 p.m., promoters Bob and Don Leiby and Alan Kretizer decided to cancel the show. The fact that it was a Sunday show also factored into the decision. The program was to feature the 410 sprints cars, thundercars, and SpeedSTRs. Promoters will meet with Premier Auto Works before announcing a new date for that sponsored night. They will also look at other potential dates to host the SpeedSTRs. Next Saturday night, July 31st, at 7:30 PM, Lincoln Speedway run the postponed 7th Annual Weldon Sterner Memorial featuring the Lawrence Chevrolet 410 Sprints,. The Keizer Aluminum Wheels 358 Sprints and Thundercars will round out the evening's racing action. Gates will open at 5:30 PM.

Williams Grove Speedway

SATURDAY: $20,000 SUMMER NATIONALS FINALE TO GREG HODNETT

MECHANICSBURG, PA -- With World of Outlaws regulars dominating the first half of the 30-lap Summer Nationals finale Saturday night at Williams Grove Speedway, it looked as if the Pennsylvania Posse’s winning streak might be over, but Greg Hodnett’s commitment to the inside line resulted in a $20,000 victory for the track’s Lawrence Chevrolet point leader. Sammy Swindell beat Paul McMahan into the first turn and set the early pace while Hodnett, who started third, faded steadily from the top five. While the outside line appeared to be the fastest way around the big half mile, Hodnett continued to work the inside, waiting for the race track to come to him. He was back in the top five by lap 14 as Swindell continued to set the pace. On the 16th tour McMahan drove by Swindell with an inside move through the second corner, Outlaw point leader Joey Saldana immediately began to challenge Swindell for second place. Meanwhile Hodnett had passed Craig Dollansky for fourth and was closing quickly. With Swindell and Saldana racing for position in turn two, Hodnett used his inside line to drive by both of them on lap 19. McMahan’s considerable lead began to shrink with each lap. On the 26th circuit Hodnett passed McMahan exiting turn two and pulled away to his second win of the season and 44th of his career at Williams Grove. Hodnett’s victory marked the eighth time in succession that a track regular has won a World of Outlaws feature at this historic speedway. McMahan settled for second and a $12,000 pay day.

RAIN POSTPONES THREE OF FOUR FEATURES AT SELINSGROVE SPEEDWAY

SELINSGROVE, Pa. – Kyle Bachman of Selinsgrove completed 14 of 15 laps in the pro stock feature before heavy rain wiped out the remainder of Saturday night’s feature races for the 358 sprint cars, late models, and roadrunners at Selinsgrove Speedway.

Bachman was declared the winner of the race, which marked his first victory of the season and the 31st of his career in a pro stock at the track. The 30-lap summer championship for late models will be run on Saturday, July 31, with the 12-lap roadrunner feature rescheduled for Saturday, Aug. 7. The makeup date for the 25-lap 358 sprint car feature will be announced next week.

In addition to the rescheduled summer championship for late models, the division will also compete in the regularly scheduled heats and 25-lap feature plus a complete program of qualifying and main events for the 358 sprint cars, pro stocks, and roadrunners at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, July 31. Track gates will open at 5 p.m.

Jeff Rine of Danville set a new one-lap track record in qualifying for late models with a lap time of 19.421. Cody McFadden of Williamsport also set a new 5-lap track record for pro stocks in 2:03.115.

Bachman started second in the 20-car field and took the lead at the drop of the green flag in the pro stock feature. Third-place starter Gerald Kratzer moved into second and chased Bachman for the duration of the event, while fourth-place starter Cody McFadden raced a close third in the field.

The caution flag unfurled on lap 14 when heavy rain started to soak the track. The race was subsequently called complete and Bachman was awarded the pro stock victory over Kratzer, McFadden, Shaun Miller, and AJ Stroup.

DUNCAN EARNS FIRST 358 SPRINT WIN AT TRAIL-WAY

Gallagher, Neff, Bennett, Hanson add victories

Hanover, PA (07/23/10) - While chaos seemed to occur behind him, New Oxford's Mike Duncan kept his Mentzer's Remodeling-Hofbrauhaus No. 11D pointed forward, even as he was wondering if the 25-lap 358 sprint feature Friday night at Trail-Way Speedway would ever end. "On the scoreboard, it read eight laps and I said, 'Man, it feels like I ran the whole race.' I'm out of shape," he said of the red flag which came that early in the event. However, Duncan, driving only his 13th race in a 358 super sprint - the only race car he's ever driven, held off the field, expanded to 25 cars by track officials to avoid a consolation race, to claim his first career victory. And Duncan had to celebrate by himself in a sense because two of the third-generation racer's biggest fans, his father and grandfather, were on vacation. "Actually, my dad's in the hospital with kidney stones and a urinary tract infection, and they're in North Carolina," Duncan said. However, after hearing of Duncan's victory, both will feel much better, if only because Duncan avoided some of the mayhem behind him. Following a false start, the race's first seven laps included four caution flags. Then, on lap eight, the car of runner-up Scott Fisher rolled in the fourth corner, starting a six-car melee. Before the restart, one of the drivers involved, Kyle Moody, stopped his car on the frontstretch to ask about the track officials' order to go to the rear of the field. As he stopped, his car was struck by the No. 1S of Logan Schuchart, bending the front wing of Schuchart's car and eventually ending his night. Meanwhile, for failure to go to the rear, Moody was relegated to an 18th-place finish. Meanwhile, Hanover's Tim Wagaman was third on the restart and his first-turn slide job on runner-up Zach Eucolano put him in second. For the rest of the way, interrupted for a final time when Joe Trone Jr. spun on the 16th lap, Wagaman put pressure on Duncan, but he stayed in front. "I was actually lifting a little bit early going into the turns because I thought if I could lay back, I could let them lapped guys stay ahead of me," Duncan said, "But Timmy showed me his nose and I thought, 'Uh oh, I better get going.'" Wagaman took second place ahead of track points leader Dale Hammaker, 21st-starting Steve Owings, Brad McClelland, Billy Dietrich, Eucolano, Mike Bittinger, Jessie Morrison and Troy Becker. Moody, McClelland and Duncan won heat races. In other action, Hanover's Sam Gallagher won a wild 20-lap thundercar feature which was stopped after 17 laps when only three of the 11 cars were still running by that point. Gallagher took the lead from Justin Bittle on the eighth lap and led runner-up Will Walls and Brian Walls at the finish. Bittle and Rick Weaver were credited with fourth and fifth places, respectively. Kyle Martin won the heat race. Bryan Neff claimed the lead of the 4-cylinder stock feature when Ed Hollenbach became the first car to drop out and Neff held command the rest of the way in the 20-lap race. Eric Hollenbach took second ahead of Troy Hostetter, Dennis Christ Jr. and Austin Kirby. Jeremy Ott and Ed Hollenbach took heat wins. Doug Bennett took the lead of fhe Xtreme stock feature with two laps remaining and won the 20-lap feature over the driver he passed for the top spot, Patrick McClane. Bennett's teammate, Gary Calimer Jr., was third ahead of Tim Hahn and Brent Hake. Bennett and Jeremy Stremmel won heat races. Daryl Hanson charged from 11th starting spot to pass Brian Walls on the final lap and capture the 12-lap limited stock feature. Kyle Rohrbaugh placed third ahead of Jason Chronister and Matt Chronister, who rallied after hitting the wall early in the feature. Lem Crawford and Jason Chronister took heat victories.

Tomorrow (7/24), the 600cc and 270cc Micro Sprints are on the schedule with the Legend Cars, Scramble Cars, Starlite 4 and 6-cylinder Oval. Gates open at 4:30 p.m. with racing beginning at 6:30 p.m. Next Friday (7/30), the 358 Sprint Cars are on the schedule. The Thundercars, Limited Stocks are also on the schedule.

 FRIDAY: SSUMMER NATIONALS OPENER TO LANCE DEWEASE

MECHANICSBURG, PA -- Lance Dewease ran the Pennsylvania Posse’s winning streak to seven over the World of Outlaws at Williams Grove Speedway in the Summer Nationals 25-lap sprint car feature on Friday night. Dewease started fifth in a talent-laden 28-car field and moved into fourth place after one lap. Paul McMahan set the early pace with Chad Layton second and Steve Kinser third. On lap seven Kinser attempted to slide under Layton exiting turn four, but hit the outside guard rail and flipped into Layton sending both cars to the pit area for repairs. Dewease lined up behind McMahan on the restart and stalked the leader until lap eleven when he used an inside move exiting turn four to take the top spot. Once in front Dewease began to drive away from the field. Donny Schatz took second place from McMahan on lap fifteen, but was unable to challenge Dewease for the lead and finished 2.59 seconds behind the leader. Jason Meyers, who started tenth, finished third. McMahan settled for fourth and Williams Grove’s Lawrence Chevrolet point leader Greg Hodnett completed the top five after starting eleventh. Don Kreitz, Jr., Danny Dietrich, Stevie Smith, Alan Krimes and Sammy Swindell finished in positions six through ten respectively. The victory for Dewease was his fourth of the season at Williams Grove and the 74th of his career at this historic half mile. It was the second World of Outlaws victory this week for Dewease, 44, of Fayetteville, who won at Western Pennsylvania’s Lernerville Speedway on Tuesday night. The victory was Dewease’s eighth World of Outlaws triumph at his home track and his first since July 23, 2004. Schatz set fast time in qualifications with a lap of 17.319. Heats for the 48 sprint cars were won by McMahan, Meyers, Swindell and Layton. Jonathan Allard won the B-main and Brian Montieth the C. Paul McMahan won the Crane Cams Dash.

Williams Grove Speedway

OUTLAWS RETURN FOR SUMMER NATIONALS JULY 23-24 MECHANICSBURG, PA -- The Summer Nationals, a two-day event for sprint cars sanctioned by the World of Outlaws, is coming to Williams Grove Speedway on Friday and Saturday evenings, July 23-24. Qualifying is scheduled to begin at 7:45 each night and both programs will also include fireworks displays. The Saturday night Summer Nationals finale will be worth $20,000 to win. The Outlaws will bring a strong contingent of travelers to Williams Grove and they will be intent on snapping a six-race losing streak against the Williams Grove regulars known as the Pennsylvania Posse. The last Outlaw driver to win a sanctioned race at Williams Grove was Fargo, ND’s Donny Schatz, who scored a victory in the Summer Nationals two years ago on July 19, 2008. The Grove’s current Lawrence Chevrolet point leader, Greg Hodnett, won three World of Outlaws races at this speedway in 2009 and Red Lion’s Cody Darrah won the fourth. Chad Layton of Harrisburg and Salfordville’s Fred Rahmer split the two WoO races run at Williams Grove earlier this season. In addition to Schatz, other former Summer Nationals champions Steve Kinser of Bloomington, Ind., and Sammy Swindell of Germantown, Tenn., will be among the Outlaw contingent. Three young Outlaws have had impressive showings at Williams Grove this season. Lucas Wolfe of Mechanicsburg, won an unsanctioned race at his former home track in March. Kraig Kinser of Bloomington, Ind., and Sam Hafertepe, Jr., of Sunnyvale, Tex., each were in contention for victories during the spring shootout. K. Kinser and Layton swapped the lead several times on May 13 before Layton prevailed. Hafertepe finished second to Rahmer on May 14. The Summer Nationals will be the last appearance by the Outlaws at Williams Grove before National Open weekend, October 1-2.

 

Port Royal Speedway

GREG HODNETT WINS 4TH PORT ROYAL SPRINT CAR MAIN

July 18, 2010

Port Royal, PA

It was a tough Saturday night at Port Royal Speedway. Fact is, a variety of problems led to a long night with frustration for racers, fans and officials. Through it all, Greg Hodnett went about his business and came away with win no. four of the season. Hodnett left no doubt he meant business when the green flag dropped. After lining up tenth, Hodnett went to the top of the speedway passing several cars coming off turn four. By the time the field came by to complete lap one, Hodnett was already in third place. Hodnett's job became tougher after that.

Craig Robinson is improving weekly. Robinson lined up second and took the lead on the start. Hodnett moved by second place driver Curt Stroup on lap four. After a lap four caution period for Mike Erdley, who stopped just past the flag stand, action continued. Hodnett chased Robinson through lapped traffic. The Jim & Sandy Kline owned race car continued to get plenty of bite and Hodnett's winning move came through turns three and four during lap ten. Robinson continued to run second until Rick Lafferty passed him during lap 14. Justin Henderson's set up came in allowing Henderson to pass Robinson for third place on lap 15. The field was bunched on Hodnett's rear nerf bar two more times before action was completed. Visiting driver Dave Delisle spun his racer off turn two during lap 19. Delisle's night was over as his car was taken to the pit area. Hodnett opened a comfortable lead and was on the way to the winners circle. Henderson claimed the runner up spot, following the restart and a solid second place finish seemed certain. Not so. Henderson flipped wildly in turn four just before Hodnett was set to cross the finish line. Flagman Pat Snyder had not thrown the checkered flag and a one lap dash became necessary. Henderson's car was heavily damaged. He was not injured in the mishap. Lafferty suffered a flat right front tire and was towed from the speedway. Lafferty's team changed the tire allowing his return to competition. Robinson was back in second place for the restart. Hodnett drove away to the Aumiller & Associate Insurance sponsored win with Robinson second. Ryan Taylor was third with Mike Wagner fourth. Chad Layton finished fifth. Sixth through tenth were Steve Buckwalter, Cliff Brian, Dave Hahn, Mark Coldren and Lafferty. Heats for the 20 car field were won by Stroup and Robinson.

Hodnett discussed track conditions and his race team after action was finished. " The car was pretty good and I had a great starting spot.", said Hodnett. " The track was real tricky. To be honest with you, it was tough. The guys on my crew did a nice job. I want to thank my owners for giving me this opportunity and I'm just fortunate to be up here." Hodnett continued talking about the start of the feature. " I got a really good start off of four. And then I went above the cushion down in turns one and two, kinda like the old Keith Kauffman, Todd Shaffer days. I figured I'd take a page out of their handbook and try it once. It worked out for us."

The sidewinder sprint class visited the track. D.J. Montgomery turned in a dominating performance winning his heat race and leading all 15 laps of the feature event. Then Montgomery was dis-qualified for failing to report immediately to the tech area following the race. All other drivers moved up one position and Montgomery is officially positioned last. The corrected top ten is as follows. Mark Stricker, Rick Hench, Alex Schantz, Robbie Kendall, Christian Wright, Rohan Beasley, Keith Ford, Jerry Strausbaugh, Jason Eisenhart, and Jim Campbell, Jr. Hench was also a heat winner.

Jason Stahl flipped his racer in turn one during the feature. Stahl was not injured.

The AB Auto Glass/Gray's Towing & Licensing Service late model feature was postponed by rain which began to fall as action began. Two crashes slowed the start and the red flag was thrown. Heat race winners were Tim Murphy and Derrick Casner. The feature will be made up on July 31.

A multi car pile up resulted in driver Brad Kling flipping during late model qualifying. Kling was not injured in the turn two mishap.

The PA 305 sprint car feature was also postponed. 34 cars attempted to qualify. Heat races were won by Nathan Gramley, Rod Ort, Mike Wagner II, and Reed Thompson. Ben Naugle won the consie. The feature event will be made up August 21.

Action continues Saturday July 24 when two super sportsman features will be run. One is a make up from earlier this season. The late models, Miller Auto Parts pro stocks and Olde Dress Factory Antique Shop enduro cars are also in action. Gates open at 5:30 p.m. with racing at 7:30.

Fans are reminded the 20 lap Deryl Stong pro stock memorial race is scheduled for July 31. The late models, and sprint cars are also in action.

Coming August 7, the Jim Nace Memorial Dream Race Extreme no. 4 will be run as a sprint car only program. The limited late models have been removed from the card. Fireworks will be part of the show.

FRANEK WINS FIRST IN SELINSGROVE SPRINTS IN 5 YEARS; RINE RETURNS FOR SIXTH LATE MODEL VICTORY OF SEASON; HOFFMAN TIES SMITH WITH THIRD PRO STOCK WIN; LONG ENDS 4-YEARWIN DRAUGHT WITH ROADRUNNER TRIUMPH

SELINSGROVE, Pa. -- Davie Franek of Wantage, N.J., scored an impressive seven-second victory over Matt Horst of Richfield in Saturday night’s 25-lap 358 sprint car main event at Selinsgrove Speedway.

The $2,000 victory marked the fifth of Franek’s career at Selinsgrove and his first at the track since the 2005 season. He became the division’s seventh different winner in 2010.

Sprint car point leader Pat Cannon of Etters was involved in a fiery crash on the frontstretch on lap 10 of the feature. Cannon, a five-time winner this season, escaped injury.

Late model point leader Jeff Rine of Danville returned to Victory Lane for his sixth win of the season in the division’s 25-lap, $2,000-to-win main event. The victory marked the 61st of Rine’s career at Selinsgrove.

Dylan Yoder of Selinsgrove, who was seeking his fourth straight late model win, could not start the main event due to mechanical problems with the Krenn Racing No. 32.

AJ Hoffman of Richfield tied defending track champion Jason Smith of Williamsport with his third win of the season in the 15-lap, $500-to-win pro stock feature.

Corey Long of Selinsgrove ended a four-year absence from Victory Lane with a win in the 12-lap roadrunner feature.

A large crowd and strong field of race cars were on hand for the second annual Driver & Fan Appreciation Night sponsored by Jeff’s Auto Body & Recycling Center of Paxinos. Despite a power outage at 7 p.m., track officials were able to start the racing program using generators until power was restored by PP&L just before nightfall.

Selinsgrove Speedway will return to racing action at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, July 24, with a 30-lap summer championship race for late models paying $1,500 to win. Also on the racing card will be the 358 sprint cars, pro stocks, and roadrunners. Track gates will open at 5 p.m.

Second-place starter Bob Beidleman drove into the early lead at the start of the sprint car feature. On the second lap, fourth-place starter Matt Horst moved into striking distance and raced in the leader’s shadow for several laps.

On a lap four restart, eighth-place starter Davie Franek passed Horst for second and quickly closed in on Beidleman. Using the bottom of the race track through turns three and four, Franek took the lead racing out of turn four on the sixth lap.

While Franek was able to pull away from the field, Beidleman dueled with Horst for the runner up position. On the 10th lap, 10th-place starter Pat Cannon, who was racing fifth, was involved in a fiery crash on the frontstretch when an axle reportedly broke on his sprint car and contact was made with Larry Kelleher’s car, which then caused Cannon’s to erupt into flames. Cannon was able to escape the serious fire without injury.

When the race resumed, Franek stretched his lead to more than a straightaway. At the halfway point, Horst secured the second position,while Beidleman, fifth-place starter Josh Beard, third-place starter Cody Keller, and sixth-place starter Jason Shultz raced in the top five.

At the checkered flag, Franek posted a convincing seven-second margin of victory over Horst, Beard, Shultz, and ninth-place starter Blane Heimbach.

Second-place starter Eric Hons powered into the lead at the start of the late model feature. Fourth-place starter James Cornell attempted to pass Hons for the lead in the first two laps to no avail. Meanwhile, ninth-place starter Jim Yoder and 11th-place starter Jeff Rine were locked in a dual for the third position. By lap five, however, Rine raced into second and set his sites on Hons.

On a lap seven restart, Rine made the winning pass by Hons using the bottom of the race track through turns three and four. Two laps later, Yoder moved into second and attempted to reel in Rine.

The event’s final caution flag unfurled on lap 19 when Dave Brouse Sr. spun in turn two. On the ensuing restart, Rine pulled away from the field and posted a 4.7-second margin of victory over Yoder, Donnie Schick, Tony Adams, and Steve Campbell.

Polesitter Scott Sipe was chased by fourth-place starter Cody MacFadden at the start of the pro stock feature. On the third circuit, McFadden took the lead with an outside pass entering turn three. McFadden led through the sixth circuit, when 10th-place starter AJ Hoffman made the winning pass racing out of turn four to complete lap seven.

Hoffman then checked out from the field while McFadden held onto the second position. At the finish, Hoffman was victorious by 2.6 seconds over McFadden, Jason Schmidt, Shaun Miller, and Matt Johnson.

Fourth-place starter Marlin Dunham darted into the lead at the start of the roadrunner feature. Dunham was chased by third-place starter Brian Johnson for the first two laps until fifth-place starter Eric Pinkerton and seventh-place starter Corey Long began their charges to the front of the pack.

On the fourth circuit, Long advanced to second and began to reel in Dunham. On lap eight, Long made the winning pass using the inside line entering turn one.

Russ Mitten, Cody Fairchok, Donnie Murphy and John Stoll Jr. Win Williams Grove Speedway Features

Mechanicsburg, Pa.

Super Sportsman driver Russ Mitten’s 2010 season has featured more ups and downs than a roller coaster ride. When he is at the peak of his performance, the Newville driver has captured a win and two seconds in the Williams Grove Speedway Saturday Night Series. His season has also taken several wild plunges due to flips and engine problems. Last Saturday night at Williams Grove, Mitten’s season took a big uphill turn as he easily won the 20-lap Blazer’s Auto Body feature.

‘Man this thing was awesome,” said the jubilant feature winner. I basically lost my car owner so I had to scrape up the money for me to buy all my stuff back. I wouldn’t be standing here right now if it wasn’t for my parents. My mom and dad helped me with this motor.”

The feature went under immediate red flag conditions for a three-car crash in turn one that took out top five point men David Socks III and Paul Miller. The restart found the red No. 222 of Jay Fannasy flipping three times in turn one. None of the drivers was injured.

Dave Berkheimer led the first lap of the Super Sportsman main with Gregg Foster in second and Duaine Smith third. Russ Mitten began the race in seventh place and was fourth by the end of the opening lap. One lap later Mitten roared by Smith for third.

Mitten passed a very determined Gregg Foster on the seventh lap. Mitten’s No. 77 was running at peak performance and he quickly challenged Berkheimer for the lead. On the eighth pass of the Grove oval, Mitten swept past Berkheimer in turns one and two.

Once in front Mitten left the field behind. Mitten was in a race by himself as his lead increased. At the finish line he won his second Williams Grove feature of 2010 by a quarter-mile over Gregg Foster, Jason Fry, Rich Eichelberger and Duaine Smith.

“Once I felt how good the car was the first couple of laps I knew if they were going to get it away from me tonight they were going to have to work pretty hard to take it,” said Mitten.

Heat races for the 32-car Super Sportsman field went to Frankie Herr, Russ Mitten and Gregg Foster. LeRoy Martin won the consolation race.

Cody Fairchok turned 17-years old on Friday. He received his greatest birthday present on Saturday as the Dillsburg driver won the Tattoo Mom’s 358 Late Model feature. Fairchok won his very first feature by holding off some of the best in the local 358 Late Model class.

Cody Fairchok started on the outside of the front row and was the leader on the first lap. Duane Harbaugh was the first to apply pressure on the leader. Gene Knaub, the hottest driver on the 358 Late Model circuit, soon joined the lead duo.

Harbaugh and Knaub pressured Fairchok, but the young leader never faltered. The battle for the lead intensified as veteran Late Model driver Charlie Schaffer raced into fourth.

The race took a dramatic turn with three laps remaining. A caution flag placed Knaub, Harbaugh and Schaffer on the back bumper of Fairchok. When the race went green, the talent lurking close behind did not intimidate Fairchok. Fairchok drove a perfect final three laps to win by two lengths over Knaub, Harbaugh, Schaffer and Roy Miller.

“I don’t know what to say,” said the winner. “We are going to continue and this is will not be the last one. My dad told me to race the track and not the other drivers and that is what I did.”

Heat wins for the 25-car 358 Late Model field went to Craig Wagaman, Bobby Beard and Roy Miller.

In the 15-lap L.B. Smith Ford Street Stock feature it was Donnie Murphy leading every lap of the main. This is the first win of the season for the Minersville driver.

Donnie Murphy started on the pole with his Camaro. Murphy, driving after having knee surgery earlier in the week, drove away from the field. A seven-car fight ensued for second place.

Steven Dove drove his Ford into second place. A caution with five laps remaining gave Dove a chance at securing the lead. Murphy and Dove’s battle for the lead went to the checkered flag. At the finish it was Murphy victorious by four lengths over Dove, Kevin Wirt, Kory Sites and Greg Diehl.

The final race of the evening was the 15-lap Four Cylinder main. John Stoll Jr. turned in a dominating performance and he easily won his second consecutive feature.

John Stoll Jr., a second-generation driver, started on the outside of the front row. Stoll sprinted into the lead with his Mustang. Two-time feature winner Kevin Thomas took over second place.

Kevin Thomas could not take advantage of the two caution flags. Following each restart Stoll would drive away from Thomas. The Wellsville resident had no problems and won the race by 20-lengths over Thomas, Troy Hostetter, Ed Hollenbach and Joe Jakubic.

The Williams Grove Speedway Saturday Night Series returns to action on July 31 with the Blazer’s Auto Body Super Sportsman, the Tattoo Mom’s 358 Late Models, plus the L.B. Smith Ford Street Stocks and the Wentzel’s Body Shop Four-Cylinders. It will also be York County Racing Club Night. Adult admission to the races will be just five dollars.

On August 7 Williams Grove Speedway will host Kids Night. Most of the race teams with the Saturday Night Series will have their cars in the infield area and the drivers will be signing autographs. There will be plenty of entertainment for the kids. Adult admission will be just five dollars.

ESH BACK IN VICTORY LANE AFTER THRILLING "410" SPRINT CAR MAIN AT LINCOLN; Mark Bitner wins first of the year in URC Feature

ABBOTTSTOWN, PA , 7/17/2010 - Put Doug Esh and Brian Montieth together racing for the lead. Add in Jimmy Siegel and Danny Dietrich and what do you get? The best race of the year! Those four sprint stars had fans on their feet for the last five laps of a 25-lap feature that by all accounts was the best Central Pennsylvania sprint car race of 2010. Esh, piloting the Pancho Racing Products #93 that he first climbed into during Pennsylvania Speedweek, started sixth , faded in the early going, then charged back the front for his first 410 sprint car win of the year. Dietrich got by Montieth on a last-lap restart to cross second a mere .398 seconds behind Esh, who scored his 23rd career Lincoln win, moving his alongside Stevie Smith for 11th on the all-time Lincoln win list. "Dietrich has been really tough lately,...he's got my old mechanic (Dennis Kohler), and I know how he can get a car screwed down," said Esh after climbing down from his famous wing dance in victory lane, "Jimmy (Siegel) got out ahead there at the beginning, but I felt like I was running him down. He had his wing the whole way back 10 laps in, and I hadn't even started mine yet, so I figured he was in trouble. Dietrich and him made a move down there in turns three and four, and I was able to get up beside them...I think I puckered up a little bit going down into one. But that's the way you have to race if you want to race up front." Esh was running seventh when the red flag came out for Cory Haas (who was uninjured) on lap three. He got around Bobby Howard and Randy Baughman to move into fifth on the restart, passed Dietrich for fourth on lap six, and caught polesitter Bill Stine on lap seven for third. A near-spin by race leader Doug Dodson on lap nine allowed Jim Siegel to grab the lead exiting turn four of lap nine. Esh took the runner-up spot from Dodson just before a caution flew on lap 12 for a stopped Bob Howard on the backstretch. Esh than chased Siegel for the next seven laps before Dietrich took second away from Esh on lap 19. Esh returned the favor on lap 21 as the #21 of 11t-starting Brian Montieth was entering the fray. All of a sudden, it was a four-car battle for the lead. Montieth flexed his muscles and got around Deitrich into second on lap 23, and was all over Esh when the final caution of the race came out for Siegel, who spun but kept going in turn two. Esh took no prisoners on the restart, with Dietrich getting by Montieth off the final turn for second. "Watch Brian Montieth, he's just a bad-assed racer and he don't care," quipped Esh, "His owner doesn't care if he tears it up, as long as he puts on a good show." "I've talked with a lot of the other good drivers," said Esh on his up and downs over the past year. "Times like I've had over the last year and a half, being spotty and not always real consistent...it shows you what you are made of and shows how big your shoulders are. It just feels good to be back on top!"

Coming on to finish fourth was 12th-starting Alan Krimes, with Mark Smith completing the top five. Sixth through tenth were Aaron Ott, Dodson, 22nd-starting Brent Marks, 14th-starting Adam Wilt, and 23rd-starting Brad McClelland. Heats for the 33 "410" Sprints were won by Dietrich , Krimes, Haas, and Fred Rahmer, with Brian Leppo winning the consolation.

Trenton, New Jersey's Mark Bitner scored his first win of the year and third of his career in the 25-lap URC sprint car feature. Bitner started on the outside of the front row and followed fifth-starting Nick Schlauch, Jr. for the first three laps before making the race-winning pass. The race was marred by an eight-car pileup on the first lap which altered the starting lineup. There were no injuries in the opening-lap crash. Though he yielded to Bitner on lap four, Schlauch ran a strong race to finish second, with Josh Weller, Kevin Nouse, and Curt Michael completing the top five. Sixth through tenth were Justin Collett, JJ Grosso, Kevin Darling, Chris Coyle, and Kyle Purks. Heats for the 23 URC Sprints were won by Rory Janney, Kramer Williamson, and Schlauch.

Next Saturday night, July 24th, Lincoln Speedway will be idle. But the next night, Sunday, July 25th at 7:30 PM it will be Premier AutoWorks/Auto Locator Night featuring the Lawrence Chevrolet 410 Sprints, Thundercars & SpeedSTERS. Gates will open at 5:30 PM.

Williams Grove Speedway

THE EDGE FROM 17TH IN OUTLAW TUNEUP AT THE GROVE

MECHANICSBURG, PA -- Brian Montieth tuned up for the World of Outlaws- sanctioned Summer Nationals with a convincing victory in the 30-lap sprint car feature Friday night at Williams Grove Speedway. A shower, which struck the track at 5:00, coupled with extremely high humidity left the racing surface very sticky with just one racing groove until the feature began. At that point the surface became tailor made for the man known as The Edge. Chad Layton set the early pace until lap six when he made contact with a lapped car and found himself against the inside guard rail. Gerard McIntyre took over on the restart, but it was Montieth who had caught the attention of the crowd as he charged from the 17th starting position to fifth with eight laps complete. Greg Hodnett chased McIntyre until lap 14 when he used an inside move to take the lead in heavy traffic. Montieth passed McIntyre one lap later and began his pursuit of the leader. He shot to the inside entering turn one on lap 24, then drove by Hodnett and two lapped cars to emerge with the lead. Despite a red flag with four laps remaining, Hodnett was not able to challenge Montieth, who rolled to his fifth career victory and first of the season at Williams Grove. He earned $4000 for his performance. Hodnett finished 1.89 seconds off the pace with Lance Dewease, who started eighth, coming home third. Danny Dietrich and Brian Leppo completed the top five. Fred Rahmer was sixth and Alan Krimes was seventh. Layton advanced from the rear to finish eighth ahead of Don Kreitz and Rick Lafferty. Hodnett set fast time in qualifications with a lap of 17.225. Heats for the 25 sprint cars went to Lafferty, Montieth and Mark Smith. In the 20-lap 358 feature Chad Trout held off a late charge by Pat Cannon to score his first win of the season at Williams Grove. Logan Schuchart, Jason Shultz and Kyle Moody completed the top five. Moody, Cannon, John Barnett and Jay Galloway won heats for the 34 358 sprint cars. Chad Criswell won the consolation race.

CHAD LAYTON EARNS LAST LAP BONUS MONEY FOR THE SECOND TIME AT PORT ROYAL SPEEDWAY!

For Immediate Release:

July 11, 2010

Chad Layton of Harrisburg, PA won the 25 lap Aumiller & Associate Insurance sprint car feature Saturday night at Port Royal Speedway. It seemed like a deja vu moment as Layton passed Joey Hershey of Chambersburg entering turn three on the final lap. In doing so Layton earned the last lap pass bonus money posted by Jack Gaughen Network Services, Hower & Associates. Layton previously won the same award. Both times, Hershey was the driver Layton passed, and nearly at the same place on the race track. Laytyon realized he was running out of time and picked up the pace during the final two laps. " I turned it up a notch.", said Layton. The feat was impressive because Layton's car had no brakes and was carefully pushed to the winners circle. Track Officials and on lookers stood ready to grab hold of Layton's car to stop it if necessary upon arrival on the stage. " I was kinda cautious there because I lost brakes on lap eight. To drive one of these things are pretty wicked. To drive one with no brakes, it's a lot of fun. It was definitely hairy trying to get under Mike Wagner there a couple of times. I couldn't hold the car to the bottom and almost wanted to slide into him. I didn't have the brakes. We made the best of it. I seen I had an opportunity at the end and I definitely stepped it up."

Layton's night included other adversity. His teams hauler broke down on the way to the racetrack and his car suffered mechanical problems during qualifying. " We corked a motor in the heat race and we had to work real hard to get another one back in there. This motor runs really nice. The guys prepare a good race car. Some times when things seem down, they don't give up and keep working hard. Here we are."

Track conditions were much improved over the previous weeks show. Workers opened up the speedway surface in an attempt to get more water into the track. Grooming of the surface continued all night and dust was reduced. Some drivers complained the track was actually too wet. Layton weighed in on the subject. " It was definitely a little wet but you could see real good when you are racing. That's a major improvement. The track held the moisture in it Not only did it keep the dust of the fans so they can see the race, it allowed for a better race. It seemed like there was more than one groove. We could sneak around the bottom or run around the moisture line. I think they did a good job with it. Rome wasn't built in a day. They are taking the right steps to make it better. It's not going to happen in one week. If they keep going the direction they are going, I'm sure Port Royal is going to be back on top where it belongs."

Car owner Dave Middleswarth and family missed the program due to a family members wedding.

The main event had its' share of excitement. The race was under red before the cars entered turn on during the initial start. Michael Heckman flipped exiting turn four as the green flag waved. Other cars attempting to slow became bunched up. Tyler Walker flipped mid way on the front stretch and rolled over the top of Robbie Stillwagon's race car. Walker's fuel cell was torn from the car and Walker was visibly upset after exiting his race car. Justin Henderson was also in the accident. All four cars were eliminated from action. No drivers were injured. Hershey took the lead after the restart and pulled away from the field. The race was again under caution during lap 15 when Greg Hodnett's car had a flat tire exiting turn two. Hodnett rejoined action after a trip to the pit area. Mike Wagner ran in second place until lap 22 when Layton moved by. Hershey ended up second with Wagner third. Ryan Taylor and Mike Erdley completed the top five. Sixth through tenth were Rick Lafferty, Hodnett, Cliff Brian, Brett Knable and Curt Stroup. Heat races were won by Hodnett and Hershey.

Waylon Wagner of Lewistown scored his second win of the season during AB Auto Glass/Gray's Towing & Licensing Service late model action. Tim Gray started second and led the first three laps before Wagner took command. The race was stopped during lap four when a multi car pile up took place exiting turn four. Jason Miller flipped his race car and was lying upside down in the middle of the track. Point leader Tim Wilson, Eric Zembower, Matt Murphy, Tim Murphy, Bud Barton, and Jere Wierman were also involved. Miller was not injured in the mishap. Other caution periods came during lap seven when Mike Hess spun his racer in turn two. Hess night was through. Scott Flickinger stopped in turn four on lap 11. Flickinger was out for the night. Scotty Haus moved by Tim Gray during lap 15 to finish second. Gray was third with Bob Dunn fourth. Andy Haus was fifth. Sixth through tenth were Bryon Sipe, Mitch Hack, Terry Naugle, Mike Romig and Todd Snook. Naugle, Sipe and Derick Casner won heat races. There were 26 cars.

Wagner arrived in Victory Lane with a for sale car on his race car. Wagner was previously frustrated after crashing the car and did not want to repair it. " I was mad. We left it set there a couple of weeks. I told them we weren't fixing it. Dad and the guys kept working on it, a little at a time. We replaced the parts that were bent on it and brought me out here. It flew tonight. You couldn't ask for anything better. I messed up a little but the car worked beautiful, 100 percent. Our cars are for sale. Any one that wants to buy them can do it right now." , Wagner added.

The Zimmerman Truck Lines powder puff feature was won by Jen Powell over Teresa Kepner. Powell started second and led every lap. " This is the way a race car is supposed to run., " said Powell, after the event. Powell's last race was run with serious engine problems. Sharon Auker was third. Violette Leach finished fourth. Tammy Speece and Julie Colyer followed.

Action continues July 17 when the sprint cars and late models are joined by the 305 sprint cars and Sidewinder class. Henchcraft Chassis is sponsoring the Sidewinder show which pays $ 500 dollars to win. Fans and racers are reminded of the new starting time for the remainder of the season.

Williams Grove Speedway Saturday Results

Carmen Perigo Jr., Wes Alleman, Ryan Smith and Bruce Buckwalter Jr. Win Williams Grove Speedway Saturday Features

Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania

Place a challenge in front of Super Sportsman driver Carmen Perigo Jr. and he will find a way to win. Saturday night, at Williams Grove Speedway, the challenge was a different form of racing. On “Totally Topless Night”, the unique Super Sportsman cars ran without the wing. Despite the change in down force, Perigo claimed the feature race.

A parting of the seas on the first lap presented Perigo with his winning move. Perigo began the feature in third place behind the front row of Ryan Rupp and Tom Tomasko. In turn one Rupp and Tomasko made contact. The two machines bounced off each other opening a lane for Perigo. Perigo sprinted between the two drivers and gained first place.

Rick Barr drove into second place. Barr used several caution flags trying to wrestle the lead away from Perigo. Each time Perigo was able to drive away from Barr.

Perigo, from Stoystown, was in complete control of the race. He went on to score the victory by a half straightaway over Rick Barr. David Socks III used a late sprint to finish in third. Joey Biasi came back from a spin to finish in fourth while Ryan Rupp was fifth.

“They (the team) are dedicated to it. I know how much time and effort it takes when I ran my own car. I am definitely appreciative of it being able to drive this car for them. It’s top notch stuff. I did not take a step back by getting in it over my own stuff,” said Perigo.

Heat races for the 15-car field went to Perigo and Rupp.

In the 358 Late Models Wes Alleman scored his very first feature win. On a night where the cars were roofless, Alleman held off the top drivers in the division to capture the victory.

Grant Adams led the first two laps of the feature. On the third circuit fourth place starter Wes Alleman passed Adams at the exit of turn two.

Wes Alleman drove away from the field while Travis Mease, Bobby Beard, Craig Wagaman, Scott Richwine and Carl Billet had a battle for second.

Following a ninth lap restart Bobby Beard placed heavy pressure on the leader. In the latter stages of the event Craig Wagaman and Gene Knaub joined the fight for first.

A caution flag with three laps remaining set the stage for a dramatic finish. Alleman had Beard, Wagaman and Knaub just a few lengths off his back bumper. On the final lap Bobby Beard suddenly slowed allowing Alleman top open a slight lead. At the finish line it was Alleman victorious by five lengths over Wagaman, Knaub, Carl Billet and Charlie Schaffer.

“These guys I have been watching for a long time,” said Alleman. “I never thought I would have a chance in beating them. We did it.”

Bobby Beard, Gene Knaub and Jake Lettich won the qualifying events for the 25-car field.

The ARDC Midgets staged two 20-lap features. In the first feature Andrew Hannula drove from his fourth starting position into the lead. Drew Heistand chased the leader until lap seven. On the seventh pass of the speedway Heistand slid wide and Ryan Smith took over second.

By lap 12 Smith caught leader Hannula. The race lead developed into a four-car fight as Heistand and Steve Buckwalter closed in on the lead duo. With five laps remaining Smith raced past Hannula on the back stretch. It was a four-car fight to the finish line where Smith was the winner of the caution-free race by four lengths over Heistand, Buckwalter, Hannula and Frank Polimeda.

“It is the famous Williams Grove and here we are in victory lane,” said the jubilant winner. “It is awesome. The outside was awesome there at the beginning and I actually stayed there the whole time.”

In the second feature Steve Lenig led the first three laps. On the fourth pass of the half-mile oval it was rookie driver Steve Bull gaining the lead.

The rookie Bull was very impressive as he drove away from the field. Following a lap seven restart Bruce Buckwalter Jr. captured second. As the laps wore down Bull continued to dominate the race. Meanwhile Buckwalter was fighting a loss of brakes.

The race took a drastic turn on the final lap. A spun car in turn one brought out the caution flag. On the restart the Bull No. 01 did not take off. Buckwalter drove by and became the new leader. Drew Heistand was second while Bull was trying to nurse his fuel-starved car along in third. Buckwalter won the feature by ten-lengths over Heistand, Nick Wean, P.J. Garguilo and Steve Buckwalter.

“It was a shame for Bull, he ran a heck of a race. He had that thing won. I really don’t know what happened to him off the corner. He sputtered and I went and luckily my brakes came back through that first set of corners and the second set,” remarked Buckwalter.

Heat races for the 26-car field went to Garguilo, Kevin Polimeda and Steve Buckwalter.

The Williams Grove Speedway returns to action this Saturday Night with another of the Family Night races. The Blazer’s Auto Body Super Sportsman, the Tattoo Mom’s 358 Late Models, plus the L.B. Smith Ford Street Stocks and the Wentzel’s Body Shop Four-Cylinders will be in action. Admission for adults is just five dollars. Racing begins at 6:30.

ALAN KRIMES 12TH WINNER IN 15 RACES IN LINCOLN "410" SPRINTS; Logan Schuchart scores popular first career Lincoln win in "358" sprints; Shank celebrates 20th birthday with thundercar win

ABBOTTSTOWN, PA , 7/10/2010 - Alan Krimes coaxed a "worn out" motor to the finish in making short work of a strong field to claim his first Lincoln win of the year in the 25-lap "410" sprint car feature Saturday night. The Denver driver started sixth after front row starter John Rudisill spun and stacked up four other cars in turn three of the first lap, advanced to third by the end of the second lap, caught Derek Sell for second on lap three, and took the lead from polesitter and race-long leader Ed Aikin in turns three and four of lap six. After that, there was no catching Krimes, whose final margin of victory over runner-up Brian Leppo was 2.4 seconds. "It's been a while since I've been here, I almost forgot how to get here!" said Krimes upon exiting his Conestoga Valley Garage/Krimes Racing Engines No.87 in victory lane, "It feels good to be back...we were fast in the heat, and they finally didn't water the top for one of these races, and I think that helped us a little bit because I like to run the bottom." "I got a real good start in the feature and got up to second or third and then once I got out in front I was just trying to run as smooth as I could," Krimes continued. "I wasn't going to go off the bottom unless I heard somebody and we held on." "This motor has got to be worn out," said Krimes, "I believe it's on its 19th race, and it's been due for a rebuild for about eight races...when you're out front there you're just waiting for something to break when you count the number of laps on this motor. But it held together." Though it was Krimes' seventh career Lincoln win, it was his first in the Pigeon Hills since August 30, 2008. He became the 12th different winner in 15 races so far this year. Leppo's impressive second-place run came from seventh starting spot, with Lance Dewease coming from his original 10th starting spot for third, points leader Brian Montieth (who started 11th) crossing fourth, and Mark Smith fifth. Completing the top ten were 19th-starting Doug Esh (in the Pancho's Racing Products #93), Brent marks, 21st-starting Danny Dietrich, 20th-starting Fred Rahmer, and Adam Wilt. Esh, Dietrich, and Rahmer all qualified through the consolation event. Rahmer was leading his heat when a front axle broke in turn four. Heats for the 28 "410" Sprints were won by Aikin, Josh Wells, and Krimes, with Esh winning the consolation.

Thirty-nine years to the day after his grandfather (Bobby Allen) scored the 24th of his 75 career wins at Lincoln, Logan Schuchart drove to his first career win in the 20-lap "358" sprint car feature. "This is the only place I ever wanted to be," said a jubilant Schuchart in victory lane, "Pappy has taught me so much, and this has been a lifelong dream!" Schuchart started tenth and was already in third by the end of the third lap. He got by third-starting Denny Gross on lap four. Rick Horn grabbed the lead from his outside front row starting spot and led the first five laps before Schuchart made the race-winning pass on lap six. Horn hung onto second for the next six laps before ninth-starting Glenndon Forsythe grabbed the runner-up spot. Forsythe got one last chance with a 17th-lap caution, but could never catch the Kitty Hawk Restaurant/Speedway 94 #1s. Horn faded to sixth at the end, with Doug Hammaker, points leader Dale Hammaker, and 21st-starting Adrian Shaffer completing the top five. Heats for the 36 "358" Sprints were won by Jan Luckenbaugh, Horn, Gross, and Doug Hammaker, with Shaffer winning the consolation.

Gettysburg's Brad Shank shook off a season of frustration and celebrated his 20th birthday by picking up his first 2010 Lincoln Speedway thundercar win in their 20 lap feature. Shank, who started fourth, chased polesitter and race-long leader Jamie Zentmyer and third-starting Danny Beard for the first 10 laps. Shank got around beard for second on lap 11 and then went after Zentmyer. Zentmyer did all he could to hold him off but with three laps to go Shank squeezed under him to take the lead and led the final laps to take the checkered .53-seconds over point-leader Gino Comi for his second career Thundercar win. Zentmyer held on for third, Mike Slaybaugh fourth and Mikey Guise fifth. Completing the top-10 were Beard, Sam Gallagher, Justin Mong, Kyle Martin, Brian Walls. Heats for the Thundercars were won by Beard and Walls.

Next Saturday night, July 17th, at 7:30 PM, it will be PEPSI NIGHT at Lincoln Speedway with the Lawrence Chevrolet 410 Sprinters being joined by the traveling United Racing Company (URC) Sprinters in a special two-division show.

TWO OUT OF THREE FOR DANNY D. -- 358s TO JASON SHULTZ

MECHANICSBURG, PA -- Danny Dietrich established himself as an overwhelming favorite for rookie of the year honors by scoring his second sprint car feature win in his last three starts Friday night at Williams Grove Speedway. Dietrich started on the pole this time and made the most of his opportunity. He beat Brent Marks into the first corner, then led all 25 laps to score a convincing victory, which was worth a total of $4050. While Dietrich used every inch of the thin cushion, which was pushed nearly to the outside guard rail, some close racing was going on behind him. Brian Leppo took second place from Marks on lap two, but Marks wouldn’t go away and used an inside move exiting turn two on lap sixteen to take the spot back. While Marks couldn’t catch the leader, his second place finish matched his best effort of the season. He was 1.32 seconds behind Dietrich at the finish line. Leppo settled for third. Tyler Walker took fourth place from Justin Henderson on the last lap. Lance Dewease, who started 15th, advanced nine positions to finish sixth. Alan Krimes, Steve Buckwalter, Greg Hodnett and Mark Smith finished in positions seven through ten respectively. Krimes set fast time in qualifications with a lap of 17.351. Heats for the sprint cars were won by Krimes, Fred Rahmer and Dewease. In the 358-sprint car feature Jason Shultz used the extreme inside of the race track to run away from the field en route to his first victory of the season. Shultz started on the pole and led every lap. Ted Thomas finished second followed by Cory Haas, who started eleventh and Pat Cannon, who started 12th. Chad Criswell completed the top five. Heats for the 36 358s in competition were won by Criswell, Thomas, Haas and Cannon. Mike Ressler won the consolation race.

 HANDICAP RACES PROVIDE PASSING - AVERAGE WINNER’S SHARE $4060

MECHANICSBURG, PA -- An open wheel double header is planned for Williams Grove Speedway on Friday evening, July 9, featuring the Grove’s premier sprint car division and the 358 c.i. sprints. The first heat is scheduled to start at 8:00 and the speedway’s handicapping system will be used to set the lineup in both divisions. Once considered “weekly shows” the sprint car/358 programs have become special events this year since fewer have been scheduled. Only five have been run to date in 2010. But they have truly become special because these handicapped programs have provided some of the best racing action of the year. Some examples from the last three handicapped events. On May 21 Mark Smith came from the eleventh starting position to win the sprint car feature and Pat Cannon came from 12th to win the 358 feature. On June 18 Danny Dietrich took the lead from Brent Marks on lap 22. Marks then took it back before Dietrich made a last lap pass to get his first career win. Cannon won again from the 12th starting spot in the 358 feature. Then on June 25 Lance Dewease started eleventh and went on to win the sprint car feature over a fast-closing Greg Hodnett, who started 15th. In the 358 feature Cory Haas started 10th and held off Cannon’s last corner charge to get the win. Not only has there been plenty of passing to create excitement for the fans - the average starting position for sprint car winners in handicapped races has been eighth - but the races have been profitable for the winners as well. From Stevie Smith’s low total of $3630 on March 20 to Dewease’s high of $4290 on June 25, the winner of a handicapped sprint car race at Williams Grove this year has averaged $4060 including lap prize and bonuses.

WORLD ENERGY SYSTEMS, LINCOLN SPEEDWAY ANNOUNCE BIGGEST-PAYING LINCOLN 358 SPRINT CAR SHOW EVER; “World Energy Systems World Championship for 358 Sprints” to pay winner $5,500 on August 7th

ABBOTTSTOWN, PA – With space-age technology intended to help homeowners reduce energy bills, increase energy efficiency, and live more comfortably, World Energy Systems thinks big. And its latest idea is simply out of this world. World Energy Systems and Lincoln Speedway have teamed up to announce the biggest 358 sprint car show in Lincoln Speedway history. The inaugural 30-lap “World Energy Systems World Championship for 358 Sprint Cars” to be run on Saturday, August 7, 2010, will offer a $5,500 increase over the normal Lincoln purse and pay $5,500 to the winner. The number “55” is an important part of the World Energy Systems message, representing the percentage of energy savings homeowners can expect in electric and gas bills. World Energy Systems is introducing radiant reflector technology developed by NASA over 40 years ago to protect astronauts in the Apollo program from temperatures that ranged from 250̊F to -460̊F. This reflective insulation has been applied to every spacecraft since then, including unmanned spacecraft with delicate instruments that need protection from extreme temperatures. And it’s the same technology World Energy Systems uses in consumers’ homes today, reducing heat transfer from attic to living spaces, extending the life of air conditioning units, and retaining heat generated indoors during winter months. World Energy Systems also offers garage door insulation kits, water heater insulation, Earth Massage showerheads, and EvoLUX LED light bulbs. With the previously-scheduled Lincoln 358 sprint car championship slated to pay $1,500-to-win, World Energy Systems has provided an extra $4,000 to the winner, making the winner’s share the highest ever paid in the 358 sprint car division at Lincoln. “We’re very excited to become title sponsor of what we hope becomes a major annual event for the 358 sprint cars,” said Scott Fernbaugh, marketing manager for World Energy Systems, which has its home office in Greencastle, PA, “We hope the night will showcase the car we sponsor (the #34 car of Austin Reed), and the many cost-cutting solutions we offer for home energy needs in an environmentally friendly manner.” The “World Energy Systems World Championship for 358 Sprints” will begin with time trials at 7:30 p.m. Thundercars and 305 sprints are also on the card. Gates for the show open at 5:30 p.m. The “World Energy Systems World Championship for 358 Sprints” carries a September 11th rain date.

PITTMAN WINS ANOTHER SPRINT CAR THRILLER AT SELINSGROVE IN PA SPEEDWEEK FINALE; HODNETT CLINCHES THIRD CAREER SPEEDWEEK TITLE

SELINSGROVE, Pa. – Daryn Pittman of Owasso, Okl., out-dueled Lance Dewease of Fayetteville for another exciting win at Selinsgrove Speedway in Sunday night’s Jan Opperman Memorial/PA Speedweek finale for 410 sprint cars sponsored by Mach 1 Chassis.

The $5,000 victory in the 30-lap feature marked the second of Pittman’s career at Selinsgrove and the seventh of the 2010 season driving the Leelands.com No. 27 for car owner Michael Heffner.

While Pittman became the first and only repeat winner in the 20th anniversary eight-race series, Greg Hodnett of Thomasville clinched the prestigious PA Speedweek title for the second year in a row and third time in his career.

Blane Heimbach of Selinsgrove was the Fast Tees Fast Time award winner with a lap time of 17.755.

The 410 sprint cars will return to Selinsgrove Speedway on Saturday, Sept. 18, for the Jim Nace Memorial 28th Annual National Open in which one driver could win $26,000.

Polesitter Lance Dewease powered into the lead at the drop of the green flag in the main event. On the second circuit, second-place starter Daryn Pittman made a pass for the lead using the inside lane entering turn one. The event’s first caution flag also unfurled on lap two when Phil Walter’s car rolled to a stop in turn three with a flat tire.

When the race resumed, Pittman set a torrid pace around the top of the race track, with Dewease remaining in striking distance using the bottom of the track. Fourth-place starter Blane Heimbach raced a solid third, while fifth-place starter Fred Rahmer and sixth-place starter Brent Marks raced in the top five.

The red flag stopped the race on lap 11 when Heimbach’s car made contact with the second turn wall and a small fire erupted. After being checked out by EMTs, Heimbach walked away from the hard crash.

On the lap 12 restart, Dewease pulled alongside of Pittman entering turn one and drag-raced the leader down the backstretch. Racing off turn four, Dewease reclaimed the front spot while Pittman continued to race in his shadow.

At the halfway point, series points leader and 10th-place starter Greg Hodnett advanced to fourth and began to pressure Rahmer for the third position. With 10 laps remaining, Pittman bounced his sprinter off the turn three wall but was able to continue on his mission to the front of the pack again.

On lap 27, Pittman put his No. 27 back into the lead at the start/finish line. Dewease, however, stayed with the leader in traffic but came up short at the checkered flag. Pittman was victorious by a mere .44 of a second over Dewease. Rahmer, Hodnett, and Todd Shaffer completed the top five.

GREG HODNETT PA SPRINT CAR SPEEDWEEK WINNER AT PORT ROYAL

For Immediate Release:

July 4, 2010

Port Royal, PA

In racing or life, there are times when a person has luck. There are times when experience and skill make the difference. Finally, sometimes a person is just good. Greg Hodnett and his J & S Fabrication race team were all of those Saturday night at Port Royal Speedway. Hodnett set fast time, drew the pole starting position and led all 30 laps of the PA Sprint Car Speedweek/ Aumiller & Associate Insurance feature at the Juniata County oval. Track conditions were difficult, yet Hodnett had no trouble staying in front of the field.

With day time temperatures near 90 degrees, track preparation was difficult. Hodnett's team hit the chassis set up perfectly. " We had to take advantage of a few things.", said Hodnett, during post race interviews. " Obviously going out early qualifying, just making it through our heat race, and getting in that pill draw. The track is really tough. I couldn't see a thing behind the lapped cars. I'll be honest with you, I didn't even know the race was over. I never saw the white, never saw the checkered. (flag) I just kinda kept going until they threw the yellow. I thought somebody stopped or something happened. My guys did the job under adverse conditions. It's a really tough race track and that's why I have these guys to get the job done on the car. "

Track conditions required drivers to finesse their cars around the speedway. Hodnett and others were forced to use the gas pedal with caution. " I was really throttling back hard core just to try and conserve until I heard or saw somebody. I'm sure Daryn Pittman was coming but I was waiting until I heard or saw something. I had a hard time passing lapped cars in turns one and two. Starting up front makes a huge difference on how you can run your race car. We had a huge advantage starting up front and the guys did a great job capitalizing on it. "

Car owner Jim Kline praised his team when action was through. " I don't know how much I know, but these guys are doing a pretty good job. We started up front and got a break on the (pill) draw. Passing was at a premium and we were able to take advantage of it. Everything worked out real well tonight."

Just one caution flag was thrown during the event. Brian Leppo stopped his race car on the back straight away during lap nine. Leppo re fired the car but later dropped out after completing 18 laps.

Daryn Pittman started fourth and followed Hodnett, Rick Lafferty, and Fred Rahmer during the opening laps. The leaders entered lapped traffic during lap five and the top four cars stayed in those spots until the yellow flag on lap nine. Following the restart, Pittman moved by Rahmer during lap 10. By lap 15 Pittman was second. Pittman closed in lapped traffic but never seriously challenged the leader. Lance DeWease set up came in late allowing DeWease to close during the final laps. As the winner drove under the checkered flag, Pittman's right rear tire shredded on the front stretch of the track. Pittman's car was thrown sideways in front of the field. Pittman did an outstanding job of saving the car and keeping it off the fence. All other drivers taking evasive action managed to avoid striking Pittman's racer. Despite the setback, DeWease was the only driver to pass Pittman. DeWease ended up second with Pittman third. Lafferty was fourth and Rahmer fifth. Sixth through tenth were Danny Dietrich, Chad Layton, Mark Smith, Donnie Kreitz Jr., and Todd Shaffer. Heat races for the 30 car field were won by Mike Erdley, Layton, and Kreitz. Cliff Brian won the B-Main. Hodnett's fast time during time trials was 17.755 seconds.

Keith Kauffman's return to Port Royal did not go well. Kauffman's team fought mechanical problems all night. The Trone sprinter turned one lap during time trials and had problems during heat race and B-Main action. Kauffman was forced to park the racer, ending his night.

The PA 305 sprint cars ran their 20 lap feature event non stop. Ryan Lynn ran down Dave Youtzy in lapped traffic before taking the lead on lap 19. Mike Wagner, II., finished second. Youtzy was third with Logan Wagner fourth. Jake Waters was fifth. Sixth through tenth were Nathan Gramley, Todd Spangler, Scott Kerschner, Rodney Westhafer and Randy Kaylor. Heat races for the 33 car field were won by Gramley, Spangler, Kerschner, and Kaylor. Tim Kline won the consie.

Lynn was greeted by happy family and crew members in victory lane. " I just waited on him (Youtzy) to slide out and and he got a little loose coming out of the turns and I could stick coming out on the bottom. I just got runs on them, that's all." Lynn continued to speak about his race team which has three different cars and drivers. " We come from Canoe Creek, PA., right by the state park. We have three cars in the garage. We're busy and luckily one of us got here tonight."

Action continues July 10 when Kids Night 14 will be presented. The sprint cars are joined by the AB Auto Glass/Gray's Towing & Licensing Service late models and Zimmerman Truck Lines powder puff cars. Their will also be Kids Big Wheel, Big Foot and Bicycle racing during the night. Children must wear a helmet to compete as per PA state law. Kids activities begin at 5:00 p.m. Children must be accompanied by an adult for children's give aways. Racing starts at 7.

SNYDER STOPS CANNON’S WINNING STREAK WITH LAST-LAP PASS FOR FIRECRACKER 30 SPRINT CAR VICTORY; YODER SCORES THE HAT TRICK WITH THIRD LATE MODEL WIN; WILD FINISH NETS JOHNSON PRO STOCK WIN; ROADRUNNER FIRST TO SHERMAN

SELINSGROVE, Pa. – Nate Snyder of Halifax made a last-lap, final-turn pass by Pat Cannon of Etters to win the ninth annual Middleswarth Potato Chips Firecracker Special for 358 sprint cars at Selinsgrove Speedway Saturday night.

For Snyder, driving the Pro Lawn/Expert Settlement Services No. 56, the $2,000 victory in the 30-lap race marked his second of the season and the 16th of his career at Selinsgrove. Snyder previously won the Firecracker race as a 40-lap contest in 2005. His win Saturday night also ended the four-race winning streak held by Cannon, who was the night’s fast qualifier for the fourth time this season with a lap of 18.236.

Dylan Yoder of Selinsgrove pulled off the hat trick by winning his third consecutive 25-lap late model feature of the season at the wheel of the Krenn Racing No. 32. Yoder’s first two wins came at the wheel of his father Jim’s No. 27.

Matt Johnson of New Berlin was awarded the win in the 15-lap pro stock feature following a four-wide battle racing off turn four for the checkered flag that resulted in a disqualification of Dave Brouse Jr. for rough-riding.

Jason Sherman of Tower City won his first career race at Selinsgrove in the 12-lap roadrunner main event.

Selinsgrove Speedway will present the PA Speedweek Finale for 410 sprint cars at 7:30 p.m. Sunday, July 4. There will be no racing at the track the weekend of July 9-10 for the summer break.

In the sprint car feature, third-place starter Davie Franek powered into the lead on the first lap. The caution flag unfurled for the only time during the event after the completion of the first lap when Josh Beard and Alan Spriggle stopped in turn two. When the race resumed, Franek stretched his lead over polesitter Brian Nornhold and second-place starter Jason Shultz.

On lap three, the No. 3 driven by Pat Cannon rocketed into the third position. Cannon then passed Nornhold for second on the sixth lap. Nate Snyder, who started seventh, advanced to third using the high line of the speedway on the seventh circuit.

By lap eight, the leaders began to encounter slower traffic, creating a close, high-speed chase for the lead between Franek, Cannon, and Snyder. On the 15th circuit, Snyder made a thrilling outside pass by both Cannon and Franek for the lead exiting the second turn.

While Snyder set a torrid pace, Cannon kept the new leader in his sites. Racing down the backstretch, Cannon took the lead for first time with an inside pass by Snyder on the 19th circuit.

With five laps remaining, it appeared to be Cannon’s race as he began to distance himself from Snyder in traffic. On the final lap, however, Snyder quickly gained real estate and made a breathtaking pass by Cannon racing off turn four for the lead and win by just .06 of a second. Cannon settled for second with Franek, Blane Heimbach, and TJ Stutts rounding out the top five.

Carl Graves, who started on the pole, led the first two laps of the late model feature. On the third circuit, third-place starter Kyle Rhoads drove into the lead, while Graves, sixth-place starter Brett Schadel, and 10th-place starter Dylan Yoder raced in the top five.

D. Yoder quickly made his way to the front of the pack, taking over the second position on the sixth circuit. A lap later, D. Yoder drove around Rhoads racing off turn four for the lead.

While D. Yoder stretched his lead to a straightaway, Rhoads maintained second through lap 22, when ninth-place starter Jeff Rine began to show some speed and move into the runner up position. At the finish, D. Yoder posted a convincing 4.5 second margin of victory over Rine, Rhoads, Jim Yoder, and Brett Schadel.

Polesitter Rick Bixlier drove into the lead at the start of the pro stock feature. On the fifth circuit, fourth-place starter Matt Johnson took command of the field with a pass in turn three. On a lap seven restart, sixth-place starter Shaun Miller powered to the bottom of the race track to challenge Johnson for the lead only to have his race car fall off the pace.

On the 10th lap, AJ Hoffman, who started deep in the pack in the 18th position, stormed around the top of the race track and into the lead in turns three and four. With four laps remaining, 10th-place starter Dave Brouse Jr. powered into second and began to pressure Hoffman for the lead.

While Hoffman maintained an edge around the top of the race track in turns one and two, Brouse was pulling even with him in turns three and four. On the final lap, however, Brouse made contact with Hoffman in a wheel-to-wheel duel for the lead and win, driving both cars into the fourth turn wall. While everyone was able to remain under power, a four-wide shoot out unfolded for the lead down the frontstretch. When Brouse was disqualified for rough-riding, the win was awarded to Johnson over Mike Kiehl, AJ Stroup, Hoffman, and Jason Smith.

Fifth-place starter Eric Pinkerton led the first lap of the roadrunner feature until fourth-place starter Jason Sherman powered into the lead. On the fifth circuit, point leader Brad Mitch and polesitter Brian Johnson tangled on the backstretch.

When the raced resumed, Sherman continued to set the pace as ninth-place starter Ricky Bender advanced to second. On the final lap, Bender attempted to reel in Sherman entering turn three but came up short at the finish line. Sherman was victorious by 1.6 seconds over Bender, Pinkerton, Bob Bussey, and Mitch, who rebounded for a top five finish.

GEESEY CLAIMS "ARCH NIGHT" WIN IN LINCOLN 358 SPRINT MAIN; D.J. Mease scores first career Lincoln win in 358 late models; Ryan Rupp claims first Lincoln super sportsman win

ABBOTTSTOWN, PA , 7/3/2010 - There was no catching Scott Geesey in the 20-lap "358" sprint car feature at Lincoln Speedway Saturday night. Geesey started on the pole and led every lap en route to his first win of the season, becoming the seventh different winner in eight 2010 events at the Pigeon Hills oval. Third-starting Chad Trout was scored second every lap, and pulled alongside the Credit Connection #18 several times. But with a narrow track, Trout was never able to muster up the traction to make the pass. "I kinda knew that with Chad behind me, he wasn't going to try anything dumb," said a happy Geesey in victory lane, "If he was leading, he would have know the same thing." "With the track the way it was, it was just rubber down, and you gotta get to the lead first," continued Geesey, "I'm just happy to win. The other week I thought we were going to win and Stevie (Storrie) beat me out, and he did a real good job. Chad a heck of a racer and all-around great guy at the race track and away from the race track. It's great to beat him, but it wouldn't have bothered me to run second to him." Trout settled for second, with Tim Wagaman, Keith Prutzman, and Logan Schuchart completing the top five. Sixth through tenth were 12th-starting Brook Weibley, Scott Fisher, Eric Tomecek, Billy Johns, and John Barnett. It was Geesey's second career Lincoln 358 sprint win, to go along with one 410 win in the Pigeon Hills. Heats for the 43 "358" Sprints were won by Barnett, Geesey, Jay Galloway, and Wagaman. Twin consolations were won by Adrian Shaffer and Steve Owings.

Harrisburg's D.J. Mease achieved a life-long goal by claiming his first Lincoln Speedway win in the 20-lap 358 late model feature. Mease started fourth, crossed third behind outside front row starter Grant Adams and polesitter John Ebersole the first five laps, and moved past Ebersole into the runner-up spot on lap six. He then chased Adams the next five laps before wrestling the race lead from Adams on lap 12. As Mease was working his way to the front, so was ninth-starting Gene Knaub, who moved past Ebersole into third on lap nine and drove around Adams for second on lap 14. Knaub quickly closed on Mease, but a 19th-lap caution for a spinning Craig Wagaman in turns three and four eliminated lapped traffic as a factor.

Mease pulled away over the final two laps for a .47-second win over Knaub, with Adams, Ebersole, and Shaun Jones completing the top five. Sixth through tenth were Bobby Beard, Carl Billet, Travis Mease, Mike Walls, and Bernie Beard. With Knaub's win and Mease's third-place finish at Williams Grove one week earlier, Saturday's finish sets up a dramatic finale to the three-night Williams Grove/Lincoln/Trail-Way "Shootout" series to be held at Trail-Way Speedway this coming Friday night (7/9). That series will split $2,000 in bonus money to the ten race teams with the best three-night combined finishes at the three tracks. Heats for the 35 "358" Late Models were won by Carl Billet, Travis Mease, and Bobby Beard, with Chase Billet winning the consolation.

Polesitter Ryan Rupp avoided several multi-car crashes by staying out front and picked up his first-ever Lincoln Speedway win in the 25-lap super sportsman feature. An 11-car melee which blocked the track on turn one of the first lap reshuffled the field for the restart. On the second attempt to start the race, Rupp and third-starting Chad Criswell grabbed first and second, and they stayed there the rest of the way. Duaine Smith, Jason Fry, and Steve Wilbur completed the top five. Sixth through tenth were Dave Socks, Paul Miler, Carmen Perigo, Bobby Hockenberry, and 20th-starting Gregg Foster. Heats for the 30 Super Sportsman were won by Criswell, Mike Enders, and Duaine Smith, with John Garman winning the consolation.

Next Saturday night, July 10th, at 7 PM, it will be KIDS NIGHT at Lincoln Speedway with special give-aways for children in attendance. The three-division show will feature the Lawrence Chevrolet 410 Sprints, the Keizer Aluminum Wheels 358 Sprints, and Thundercars. Gates will open at 5 PM.

Williams Grove Speedway

DARYN PITTMAN REPEATS IN MITCH SMITH MEMORIAL

MECHANICSBURG, PA -- Daryn Pittman won his second consecutive Mitch Smith Memorial for sprint cars Friday night at Williams Grove Speedway. Pittman, the ex-Outlaw from Owasso, Oklahoma, had won just about everywhere else in Pennsylvania this year, but scored his first victory of the season at Williams Grove Friday night, and it was also the first ever Grove win for his car owner, Michael Heffner. Pittman’s sixth career Williams Grove triumph was worth $10,000. Friday’s race, the sixth leg of Pennsylvania Sprint Speed Week, began with Stevie Smith taking the lead on the first lap. Pittman, who started outside Smith on the front row, took the lead with an inside move exiting turn four on the third lap, Greg Hodnett, who started fifth, took second place from Smith on lap five and began to chase the leader, but had to deal with Don Kreitz, who got by Smith on lap six. With Hodnett running the outside and Kreitz the bottom they dueled for second place until Kreitz took over on lap fourteen, While the battle for second was raging Pittman had opened a substantial margin, but Kreitz immediately began to run him down. By lap 20 Kreitz appeared to have the faster car and was challenging for the lead, but a red flag for Doug Esh on lap 22 changed things. Pittman gave up his high line on the restart, went to the bottom and began to get away from Kreitz. Hodnett took back second place on lap 26, but was unable to challenge Pittman, who won by a margin of 1.56 seconds. Hodnett was second with Kreitz third. Speed Week point leader Alan Krimes was fourth and Lance Dewease came from the 12th starting position to finish fifth. Mark Smith, S. Smith, Chad Layton, Curt Michael and Mike Wagner finished in positions six through ten respectively. Krimes set fast time in qualifications with a lap of 17.477 seconds, Heats for the 30 sprint cars were won by Pittman, Hodnett and Layton. Justin Henderson claimed the B-main.

BITTINGER POWERS TO SECOND 2010 WIN IN TRAIL-WAY 358 SPRINTS;

BRIAN WALLS DRIVES BROTHER’S CAR TO THUNDERCAR WIN;

FRED CULLUM TAKES SECOND STRAIGHT IN ALL-AMERICAN OUTLAWS;

FIRST CAREER WIN FOR ROOKIE TOM SENSENEY, JR. IN LIMITED STOCKS

Hanover, PA (07/02/10) –Mike Bittinger was the class of the field in the 25-lap feature for 358 sprint cars at Trail-Way Speedway.

The Abbottstown driver came from ninth starting spot to drive under polesitter and race-long leader Mike Duncan, Jr. in turn four of lap 12, then raced away to his second win of the year.

“It’s great to win, but there were too many weeks in between,” said a happy Bittinger in victory lane, “We made a discovery last week. We’ve been so tight in the turns, and tonight I was a little nervous because we were loose at the start. But it ran pretty well at the end.”

“A big goal for us this year is more wins,” added Bittinger, “Maybe being in the top one every week!”

Bittinger went on to credit engine builder Jimmy Travis for the win. Travis builds many of the 358 sprint car engines, including those used by all-time winner Brad McClelland and Joe Trone, Jr.

The win was the 12th of Bittinger’s Trail-Way career.

Logan Schuchart came from 12th starting spot to pass Zach Euculano and Duncan for second on a 14th-lap restart. Duncan completed his best-ever run in third, with points leader and 16th-starting Dale Hammaker and Kyle Moody crossing fourth and fifth, respectively.

Sixth through tenth were Joe Trone, Jr., 18th-starting Tim Wagaman, Brad McClelland, Todd Spangler, and Randy Whisler.

Heats for the 22 “358” sprint cars on hand were won by Trevor Little, Euculano, and Bittinger.

Brian Walls drove brother Will’s car to his second win of the year in the 20-lap thundercar feature. Will joined Brian in victory lane after kidney stone surgery earlier in the day.

Walls started fourth and followed polesitter Justin Bittle for the first 12 laps. In turn four of lap 13, the two leaders got together, with Bittle suffering a flat tire and spinning and Walls hitting the outside wall on the front stretch. Walls never stopped, and Bittle went to the pits.

Walls led the rest of the way, despite constant pressure from eighth-starting Sam Gallagher.

Gallagher’s two-race win streak was snapped with a runner-up finish. Rick Weaver crossed third.

The lone heat for the nine thundercars was won by Weaver.

Fred Cullum made it two-for-two in the 20-lap All-American Outlaw feature, leading every lap from his pole position.

Second-starting Tommy Crummitt and 11th-starting Allen Daniels finished second and third.

Heats for the 15 All-American Outlaws were won by Cullum and Hunter Nester.

Rookie driver Tom Senseney, Jr. scored his first career win in the 12-lap limited stock feature.

Senseney started fourth and grabbed the lead from polesitter Donald Hopkins, Jr. on the sixth lap.

Daryl Hanson came from sixth starting spot to finish second, with Hopkins holding on for third.

Heats for the 22 limited stocks were won by Hopkins and Matt Chronister, who failed to report out for the feature. Shawn Crunkilton won the consolation event.

Tomorrow (7/3), Trail-Way Speedway will hold an Independence Day Special with the Junk Cars, Figure 8’s, Powder Puffs, and Starlite 6-cylinder and 4-cylinder Oval Cars. Gates open at 4:00 p.m. with racing beginning at 6:00 p.m.

Next Friday (7/9), the 358 Late Models will visit Trail-Way with the final leg of the three-race Williams Grove/Lincoln/Trail-Way “Shootout.” The Thundercars, Extreme Stocks and Limited Stocks are also on the schedule. Gates open at 5:30 p.m. and racing begins at 7:30 p.m.

Next Saturday (7/10), the 600cc and 270cc Micro Sprints return for a program which also includes the Central PA Legends, Scramble Cars, Starlite 4-cylinder Oval and Strictly Stocks. Gates open at 4:30 p.m. with racing beginning at 6:30 p.m.

KASEY KAHNE TO HOST AND RACE CHARITY EVENT AGAIN

AT WILLIAMS GROVE SPEEDWAY

Kyle Busch to join Kahne at Ollie’s Bargain Outlet “Battle at the Grove” on August 5

to Benefit the Kasey Kahne Foundation and Other Local Charities

MOORESVILLE, NC (July 1, 2010) -- Kasey Kahne, driver of the No. 9 Budweiser Ford in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, and discount retailer Ollie’s Bargain Outlet, have teamed up again to host the Ollie’s Bargain Outlet “Battle at the Grove” charity dirt track race on August 5 at Williams Grove Speedway in Mechanicsburg, Pa. Net proceeds from the event will be donated to charities designated by the Kasey Kahne Foundation and Central Pennsylvania-based Ollie’s Bargain Outlet.

“This will be our fourth year partnering with Ollie’s Bargain Outlet to run at Williams Grove Speedway and raise money for great causes,” said Kahne, an 11-time winner on the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series who finished fourth at last year’s Battle at the Grove event to sprint car winner Brian Montieth of Phoenixville, Pa. “The Central Pennsylvania area has been a great supporter of dirt track racing and we’ve been able to fill up the stands every year.”

Advance tickets are on sale through August 3 for $25 adult general admission at www.battleatthegrove.com with discounts for non-adults. Advance ticket buyers who purchase by July 21 will be entered into a drawing for an exclusive 100-person autograph signing session with Kahne and Cody Darrah, a local Pennsylvania sprint car racer that joined Kasey Kahne Racing this year to run the World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series before being sidelined with an injury.

“Kasey’s event at Williams Grove Speedway is one of those special events that the fans and drivers now look forward to every year,” said Darrah.

As in past events sponsored by Ollie’s Bargain Outlet in cooperation with the Kasey Kahne Foundation at Williams Grove, URC-sanctioned 360/358 Sprints will be the main feature of this year’s race. The Super Late Model class will also be a major attraction again as Kyle Busch is scheduled to return. Last year, Busch, the 2009 NASCAR Nationwide Series Champion, challenged Jason Covert of York Haven, Pa. for the Super Late Model win but came in a close second in one of the best races at Williams Grove Speedway last year.

“Last year’s Ollie’s Bargain Outlet “Battle at the Grove” show was spectacular and it helped raise over $60,000 for local charities,” said Ollie’s President and CEO Mark Butler. “We’re looking forward to having another exciting and successful event this summer. Race fans, including myself, always enjoy watching Kasey and his NASCAR friends battle it out with some of the finest short track racers in the region.”

Williams Grove Speedway is a half-mile clay oval that hosts sprint car racing events on a weekly basis for much of the year. Opened in 1939, the “Grove” is regarded as one of the most historic dirt track venues in the country and has hosted legendary racers such as A.J. Foyt, Mario Andretti, and Tony Stewart.

DEWEASE FIFTH WINNER IN FIVE PA SPEEDWEEK EVENTS IN LINCOLN 410 SPRINT MAIN; Slaybaugh claims third win of the year in thundercar feature

ABBOTTSTOWN, PA , 7/1/2010 - Former track champ Lance Dewease relied on years of experience, took what the track gave him, and drove to the $5,000 win on night number five of Pennsylvania Speedweek for 410 sprint cars at Lincoln Speedway Thursday night. Although he started on the front row, Dewease watched two other drivers lead the first 14 laps. First it was polesitter Greg Hodnett, who led the first eight laps. As Dewease was setting up for a low-side pass entering turn one of lap nine, third-starting Brian Montieth took to the top side to pass both Dewease and Hodnett in a thrilling three-wide battle through turns one and two. "Greg and I got to racing each other so hard that we left the top wide open," said Dewease in victory lane, "Everyone knows where Montieth runs...it's one place, and that's the wall." "I thought we could maybe get back at him if we were patient enough, continued Dewease, "I just made up my mind that I was going to slide him, and if I could keep in front of him, I wasn't coming off the wall. He was going to have to pass me on the bottom or do a flyer or something on me." As Montieth led the next six laps, Dewease continued to work on Hodnett for the runner-up spot, making the pass on lap 12. Three laps later, Dewease slid under the two-time defending Lincoln champ for the front spot in turns three and four of lap 15, just before the lone caution of the event came out for debris in turn one. "We thought that if they water it (the track), we might have a shot with (the number) we drew," said Dewease after his 33rd career Lincoln win, "Those two guys that got back by me (Montieth and Hodnett) are pretty darn good racers. I kinda knew where I had to be, and I wasn't going to move off the top until I knew I could go by the (lapped) car in front of me." Though he led the rest of the way, Dewease could never shake Montieth, who crossed a slim 28-hundredths of-a-second behind the Advance Development Services/Hank's Performance Products Don and Lisa Owens-owned #30c. Hodnett was actually closing on the leaders over the final laps, and finished a close third, with Daryn Pittman fourth and Alan Krimes fifth. Completing the top ten were Brent Marks, Gerard McIntyre, Jr., Fred Rahmer, Johnny Mackison, Jr., and Chad Layton completed the top ten. Steve Buckwalter actually finished seventh, but was credited with a 24th-place finish after it was discovered that he changed a rear tire without notifying officials and going to the back of the field for the start. Sprint heats were won by Pittman, Marks, Hodnett, and Montieth, with Brad McClelland winning the B-Main. Fast time in time trials over the 31-car field was set by Chad Layton with a one-lap time of 14.058 seconds (96.031 MPH).

New Oxford's Mike Slaybaugh became the first three-time winner in Thundercar action by picking up an exciting win in there 20-lap feature. Slaybaugh, who started fifth, chased down polesitter and race-long leader Jamie Zentmyer on the 18th lap and make an inside pass for the lead. The second generation driver then held off two-time winner Sam Gallagher in an exciting one-lap dash to the checkered for his sixth career win at the Pigeon Hills oval. Gallagher settled for second, with Zentmyer hanging on for third, hard-charger Brian Walls fourth and Jimmy Combs fifth. Heats for the 11 Thundercars were won by Combs and Gallagher.

This Saturday night, July 3rd, at 7 PM, the 358 Sprints will take top billing as the 410 sprints will have the night off to follow Pennsylvania Speedweek activities else where. The 358 Late Models will also be in action competing in the special Williams Grove/Lincoln/Trail-Way Speedway Shootout. The popular Super Sportsman will round out the evening's activities.

KRIMES IS FOURTH DIFFERENT SPEEDWEEK WINNER BUT FIRST EVER AT HAGERSTOWN

Hagerstown, Md. – Coming into night four of Pennsylvania Sprint Car Speedweek as the point leader, Alan Krimes from Denver, Pa. made the best of his night at Hagerstown Speedway as he picked up his first ever Hagerstown win plus became the fourth different winner in the series. It also was his first win of the 2010 season in more than 25 races.

“I’m really starting to like this place,” Krimes said. “I wish we could race here more often. It definitely was the key starting up front like that. You can’t beat this place. It’s the best track we’ve raced on. It was a little dry tonight but that’s the way I like it.”

Krimes pulled the pole position and took off on the start to dominate the first half of the 30 lap event with Greg Hodnett only close enough to challenge once on lap 20 when Krimes changed lines and pulled away. He took the checkered with three lapped cars and 1.16 seconds ahead of Hodnett.

“When I heard Greg on the outside of me, I thought there must be something up there to run outside, so I moved up to take his line away,” Krimes said. “Once I got to lapped cars I moved back down to the bottom. Luckily everything worked out.”

When the green flag waved, Krimes was like a rocket ship as he blasted out of the starting gate and was 2.5 seconds ahead of Daryn Pittman by the second lap with Hodnett running third.

Hodnett moved past Pittman on lap six when Krimes caught the rear of the field and was just over five seconds behind but began to close the gap when Krimes began to maneuver through traffic. He continued to maintain a more than 2.5 second advantage until the caution waved for the stopped car of Brian Montieth on lap 17. The yellow waved again for Fred Rahmer who had a flat on the restart.

Krimes took off again but Hodnett snuck up on his outside on lap 20 as Krimes got up on the wheel and began to stretch his lead.

“Actually at one point, I heard someone back there and I moved my line up a little bit and I couldn’t hear him any more so I didn’t know who it was but somebody was coming,” Krimes said.

With the laps winding down, Krimes again moved into the rear of the field with five to go with a 1.8 second lead over Hodnett and Mark Smith. More rear cars were there but he quickly got past them to stick three of them between himself and Hodnett at the finish.

“The lapped cars held their line, that’s all you can ask for,’ Krimes said. “I tried to be careful going thru them, but you can’t hold back too much. You have to get by them and get them between you and the guy behind you.”

Smith finished third after starting sixth with Pittman and ninth starter, Danny Dietrich completing the top five. Sixth went to Lance Dewease who came from 18th while NASCAR’s Dave Blaney ended seventh after starting 19th. Stevie Smith finished eighth with 13th starting Adam Wilt finishing ninth and tenth went to Brian Leppo. Hodnett toured the track for the 30 entries with the fast time of 17.102 seconds. Heat winners were Hodnett, Leppo and Brent Marks while Blaney won the B Main.

The July 4th weekend highlight is the 45th Annual Johnny Roberts Memorial, a 50-lap late model event set for Saturday along with the late model sportsman and pure stocks plus the gigantic fireworks display. Hot laps are at7:00pm. Sunday, July 5th is a designated rain date.

Williams Grove Speedway

 $10,000 TO WIN MITCH SMITH MEMORIAL PLUS FIREWORKS JULY 2

MECHANICSBURG, PA -- The Mitch Smith Memorial for sprint cars, one of the season’s major events at Williams Grove Speedway, is set for Friday evening, July 2, at 7:45. The winner of the 30-lap feature will earn $10,000. Friday will mark the 22nd running of this prestigious event and over the years only the best in Pennsylvania sprint car racing have been able to score a victory. Just twelve different drivers have won the 21 previous Mitch Smith Memorials, led by Fred Rahmer and Lance Dewease with four victories apiece. Rahmer and Dewease are the career win leaders at Williams Grove. Greg Hodnett has three victories and Hall of Famer Keith Kauffman has two. The remaining Mitch Smith Memorial winners include former track champions Don Kreitz, Jr., Todd Shaffer and Steve Smith along with Stevie Smith, Joey Allen, Jeff Shepard, Doug Esh and Daryn Pittman. If the race is to have a new winner this year, the best candidates appear to be Brian Leppo and Brian Montieth. Both have been close in extra distance races this season and both have become good qualifiers. Montieth has a fast time award this year and Leppo has two. The Mitch Smith Memorial will once again be part of Pennsylvania Sprint Speed Week, which features eight races at seven different speedways over a nine-day period. The late Mitch Smith was one of the most spectacular drivers ever to compete in Pennsylvania sprint car racing and was a first ballot inductee into the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame. There will be no support division for this special sprint car program. A spectacular fireworks display has also been planned for July 2.

 

CAPACITY CROWD CHEERS TYLER WALKER & CRAIG VONDOHREN TO NAPA AUOT PARTS THUNDER ON THE HILL VICTORIES TUESDAY NIGHT AT GRANDVIEW SPEEDWAY

A huge crowd turned out a beautiful night for the ninety-fifth event of the NAPA Auto Parts Thunder on the Hill Racing Series on Tuesday night at the Grandview Speedway.

In the 358 Modified 25 lap feature, Craig VonDohren took the lead on lap fourteen from Kyle Follweiler to pocket the $2,500 first place prize. It was a bitter sweet victory for Walker who did his usual donut spin in turn one after taking the checker flag. A near capacity crowd encouraged Walker to do his victory lane back-flip and he did. Unfortunately, upon his landing, Walker twisted his knee, falling to the ground. Walker was transported to the hospital to have his knee undergo medical evaluated.

A field of thirty-two sprint cars turned out for the third race of the Pennsylvania 410 Sprint Speed Week Series.

On the restart, Dewease had a solid hold on the lead followed by Layton, Krimes, Walker and Dietrich. By lap twenty-four, Krimes moved into second with Layton and Walker in the hunt.

The second and final caution of the race was displayed on lap twenty-seven for Stevie Smith who stopped in turn two.

Everyone in the house knew the restart was going to be a thriller and as the green flag fell, Tyler Walker passed Chad Layton for third. Walker immediately went to battle Krimes. By lap twenty-nine, Walker was in second and closing on race leader Lance Dewease. On lap thirty-two, Walker challenged Dewease for the lead and one lap later, Dewease, Walker and Krimes were three abreast in chase of the lead. As the field passed for the white flag, Dewease was the leader with Walker second and Krimes third. With a strong run off of turn two on the final lap, Walker used the outside lane to make the pass for the lead. Dewease quickly re-grouped and attempted a strong fight to regain the top spot.

With the checker flag waiving, Walker took the win, his second career Thunder on the Hill Racing Series win and second consecutive victory at Grandview. Dewease earned a nod for a strong second place finish followed by Alan Krimes, Danny Dietrich and Chad Layton.

The 358 Modifieds were called to the track for their twenty-five lap feature event and Kyle Follweiler was the early race leader. It was not an easy time for Follweiler as he was challenged by Jeff Strunk and John Willman. Duane Howard moved into the heat of battle racing in third on lap nine, then advancing to second on lap ten. At the halfway mark, Follweiler set the pace followed by Duane Howard, Craig VonDohren, Jeff Strunk and Tom Umbenhauer.

The powerful #1c was on a charge moving from third to the lead as he passed on lap fourteen. Once on top, VonDohren had solid control of the lead, that is, until lap nineteen when Duane Howard set-up a challenge for the lead. VonDohren quickly responded to pulled away from Howard and Follweiler in the final laps. VonDohren was not to be denied this win as he flashed under the checker flag with at least a six car length advantage over Duane Howard who finished second. Kyle Follweiler delivered an impressive third place finish with Jeff Strunk and Ryan Godown rounding out the top five.

Frankie Herr, Gene Knaub, Chad Smith and John Stoll Jr. Win Williams Grove Speedway Saturday Features

Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania

When it comes to Super Sportsman racing, veteran driver Frankie Herr is Mr. Excitement. He certainly earned that honor Saturday night at Williams Grove Speedway. Herr used a last lap pass to win his first 2010 Williams Grove Speedway Blazer’s Body Shop Super Sportsman main.

Famed veteran driver Smokey Snellbaker led the first two laps of the 20-lap feature. On the third circuit of the half-mile, Lanny Hake used a low line off turn two to take command of the lead.

Frankie Herr, coming off a very impressive heat win, started the feature in 11th. By the end of the fourth lap he was fifth behind Hake, Ryan Rupp, Russ Mitten and Snellbaker.

The only caution of the event came on lap seven. Following the restart Russ Mitten used the low line off turn four to pass leader Hake. Herr moved into third and one lap later he was in second.

Russ Mitten opened a ten-length edge over Herr. With six laps remaining Herr began to close the distance between himself and the leader. By lap 16 the gap was down to three lengths. On the final lap Mitten had a two length advantage going into turns one and two. In turn two Mitten slid up the track and Herr dove to the inside. They raced to the finish line and Herr won by four lengths over Mitten, Rupp, LeRoy Martin and Jason Fry.

Heat races for the 36 Super Sportsman cars went to Jason Fry, Lanny Hake and Frankie Herr. Bobby Hockenberry won the consolation race.

The Tattoo Mom’s 358 Late Model feature was the first leg in the Tri-Track Series. The series, involving Williams Grove, Lincoln and Trail-Way speedways, brought in a strong field of 31 cars.

Steve Billet led the first lap of the feature. On the second lap Billet slid up the track in turn one allowing Steve Weikel to take over the number one position.

The caution flag came out on lap three. Following the restart it was Mike Walls taking over the lead. Now running in second, after starting eighth, was Gene Knaub. Knaub applied heavy pressure on leader Walls. The ninth lap found Walls moving up a lane in the first turn. Knaub drove under Walls and the lead duo raced side-by-side into turn three. In the third turn there was contact between Walls and Knaub. The Walls car spun bringing out the caution flag.

Following the restart Gene Knaub was in complete control of the race. He easily won his third Williams Grove feature by 20-lengths over Wes Alleman, D.J. Mease, Roy Miller and Jake Lettich.

After the feature a protest was filed on the Gene Knaub car. The Knaub car was taken to Dover for inspection. The black No. 1 passed the inspection.

Jake Lettich, Travis Mease and Bernie Beard won the 358 Late Model heats. The consolation race went to Bobby Beard.

The L.B. Smith Ford Street Stock feature was a matter of survival. The race began with the Pat McNeal machine losing the entire rear end assembly on the front stretch. On the restart a massive 11-car pile up brought the event under red flag conditions.

The third attempt to start the race was successful and Steven Dove sprinted into the lead. Chad Smith, from his seventh starting position, charged into second place. On the fourth lap it was Smith racing by Dove on the backstretch.

Smith drove away from the field. In the second half of the feature the team car driven by Craig Morgan moved into second. Morgan was not able to close the gap. At the finish Smith won his first of the year by ten-lengths over Morgan, Bob Gutshall, Dove and Carmen Caltabiano.

The qualifying races for the 26-car field went to Craig Morgan, Doug Hoffman and Bob Gutshall.

The Four-Cylinder division had a $500 to win championship race. Mike Buckley led the feature until a lap four caution. Following the restart there was a three-wide battle for first place. Brian Wentzel captured the lead with ninth place starter John Stoll Jr. in second. One lap later Stoll passed Wentzel for the lead.

A series of caution flags kept Wentzel right behind Stoll. The final caution flag came out on lap 12. Wentzel pressured Stoll’s Mustang the final three laps but could not make a pass for the lead. Stoll won his first of the year by four-lengths over Wentzel, Joe Jakubic, Eric Hollenbach and Ed Hollenbach.

Brian Wentzel and Kevin Thomas won the heat races for the 21-car field.

The Saturday Night Series returns in two weeks with Totally Topless Night. The Super Sportsman will race without the wings. The 358 Late Models will be in action minus the roof. Joining the evening of racing will be the ARDC Midgets. Racing starts at 6:30.

HAUS/NAUGLE WIN THIRD OF SEASON AT PORT ROYAL

June 27, 2010

Port Royal, PA

Scotty Haus and Terry Naugle added to their win totals Saturday night at Port Royal Speedway. Haus drove his own no. 33 to the AB Auto Glass/Gray's Towing & Licensing Service winners circle for the second time this year. Previously Haus also won a feature driving the Lynn and Mike Gaw owned no. 21.

Haus spoke about the two cars during post race interviews. " If I knew how you were going to keep the track, ( speedway management), I'd know which car to bring along. This car likes this kind of track. The 21 car is in the body shop.", Haus joked, while speaking about a post race accident from one week ago. " We'll get it back in a week or two..", Haus continued. " This is an old man's track tonight. Anyone could drive this car to victory lane."

Haus didn't immediately race to the front. Second place starter Lindsay Barton drove into the early lead before being forced to the pit area after just five laps. Matt Murphy inherited the lead and stayed in front until Haus moved by during lap eight. Once in front Haus drove away from the field to record the win. Murphy finished second with Bud Barton third. Current point leader Tim Wilson started 13Th and finished fourth.Tim Fedder was fifth. Completing the top ten were Andy Haus, Waylon Wagner, Todd Snook, Jere Wierman, and Terry Naugle. Heat races for the 22 car field were won by Barton and Tim Gray.

Naugle earned his third Miller Auto Parts pro stock victory after starting on the pole and leading every lap. Keith Garman, Derick Garman, John Heane, and Dan Berry followed. Sixth through tenth were Jason Zook, Brian Towsey, Harold Ranck, Jr., Josh Angle and Scott Landis. Naugle joined Berry at the top of the pro stock winners list for 2010.

A short field of cars were on hand for Zimmerman Truck Lines ladies powder puff action. Julie Colyer scored her first win over champion Jen Powell. Tammy Speece and Holly Renninger filled out the field.

With the 410 sprint cars off competing in Speedweeks action, the 358 and 305 sprint cars took over the oval. Young Eric Tomechek shocked every one by placing car owner John Westbrooks no. 1w on the pole and then dominating the 25 lap feature event. " This is our first full night together and to do this is awesome", said Tomechek. " We started together last night at Williams Grove and basically threw that night away so we would have something here this evening. John wanted to win this and I'm glad we did." Westbrook added, " This is one race I wanted when I saw it put on the schedule. Not many people know much about Eric. He's kind of a diamond in the rough driver right now."

Dave Hammaker tried everything he could to pass Tomechek by diving low into turn one after several restarts caused by spinning cars. Tomechek was equal to the task while recording the win. Hammaker settled for second with Nate Snyder third. Tim Wagaman and Kyle Moody filled out the top five. The remainder of the top ten included Logan Schuchart, Cliff Brian, Austion Reed, Steve Fannasy and Ted Thomas. Snyder and Jordon Frontz won qualifying races. There were 22 cars.

Steve Whary led all 20 laps of the 305 sprint car feature. Mike Wagner II, closed at the end to finish second. The pair ran a flawless race through heavy lapped traffic during the second half of the feature. Erin Statler was third with Todd Spangler fourth. Brent Comp was fifth. Rodney Westhafer, Randy Kaylor, Nate Gramley, Ryan Lynn, and Mike Freet were in the top ten. Ben Naugle, Whary and Cowboy Jim Kennedy won heat races. 29 cars were present.

PA Sprint Car Speekweek comes to Port Royal Saturday July 3 at 7:00 p.m. The Aumiller & Associate Insurance sprint cars battle the PA Posse. The night marks the return of veteran driver Keith Kauffman to the Juniata County oval. The 305 sprint cars are also part of the program.

CANNON’S WINNING STREAK CONTINUES IN SPRINTS; YODER REPEATS IN LATE MODELS; MILLER TAKES SEASON FIRST IN PRO STOCKS; MITCH DRIVES TO FOURTH WIN IN ROADRUNNERS

SELINSGROVE, Pa. – Pat Cannon of Etters drove to his fifth win of the season in Saturday night’s 25-lap main event for 358 sprint cars at Selinsgrove Speedway. Both Mike Walter of Penns Creek and Blane Heimbach of Selinsgrove attempted to reel in Cannon on the speedway’s smooth, “glass-top” surface to offer a challenge for the victory to no avail.

The victory marked the 22nd of Cannon’s career at the track and the ninth overall win in central PA in 2010 at the wheel of the Highlands’ Tire & Service Center No. 3.

Dylan Yoder of Selinsgrove returned to Victory Lane for the second week in a row after taking the checkered flag in the 25-lap late model feature. Yoder, who started 12th, tracked down Brett Schadel of Herndon to make the winning pass on lap 21.

Shaun Miller of Tower City won his first race of the season in the 15-lap pro stock feature, while Brad Mitch of McClure scored his fourth win of the season in the 12-lap roadrunner main event.

Selinsgrove Speedway will present back-to-back racing programs over the upcoming Independence Day holiday. The speedway will host the Middleswarth Potato Chips Firecracker 30 for 358 sprint cars plus late models, pro stocks, and roadrunners at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, July 3. The track will return to racing action at 7:30 p.m. Sunday, July 4, with the Jan Opperman Memorial PA Speedweek Series Finale for 410 sprint cars sponsored by Mach 1 Chassis.

Polesitter Cody Keller and second-place starter Matt Heimbach dueled with fourth-place starter Bob Beidleman for the lead on the first lap of the sprint car feature. Entering turn three, Beidleman made an inside pass to come away with lead while exiting turn four.

Beidleman was chased by M. Heimbach for the next four laps. On the fifth circuit, while racing with sixth-place starter Phil Walter for second, M. Heimbach’s car spun sideways, bringing out the event’s first caution flag.

On the lap six restart, Pat Cannon, who started 12th, was in fourth and passed fifth-place starter Mike Walter for third. Cannon then moved into second on the seventh lap and started to gain real estate on Beidleman.

Cannon made the winning pass using the inside line through turns one and two on a lap eight restart, while Beidleman continued to race second. The Walter brothers, Phil and Mike, had a spirited battle for the third position for several laps.

On lap 16, M. Walter moved into second and used the inside line to close in on Cannon, who was racing the top of the track. M. Walter appeared to be Cannon’s only serious challenger as he was consistently gaining on Cannon until a caution on lap 21 for TJ Stutts regrouped the field and allowed Cannon to protect the lead by switching lanes on the restart.

Cannon pulled away as 11th-place starter Blane Heimbach began to show a lot of speed in the final laps of the race. B. Heimbach powered into second on the final lap and followed Cannon across the finish line 3.9 seconds later. M. Walter, P. Walter, and Davie Franek completed the top five.

Second-place starter Chad Davis led the first lap of the late model feature until eighth-place starter Brett Schadel took command of the field with an outside pass in turn four. On lap four, sixth-place starter Matt Cochran passed Davis for the runner up position.

Dylan Yoder, who started 12th, stormed into third by lap seven. The caution flag unfurled on lap nine for Jeff Rine when debris came off of his race car, forcing him to withdraw from the race. On the 10th circuit, Yoder passed Cochran for second and set his sites on Schadel. At the midway point of the race, Schadel was leading Yoder, Cochran, 10th-place starter Steve Campbell, and ninth-place starter Dave Zona.

On the 20th lap, Yoder made an inside pass by Schadel for the lead entering turn one. Racing down the backstretch, Schadel attempted to regain the lead to no avail. Yoder secured the front spot in turns three and four and began to stretch his lead in the final laps of the race.

At the checkered flag, Yoder was victorious by 2.4 seconds over Schadel, Campbell, Zona, and Kenny Trevitz.

Second-place starter Gerald Kratzer beat polesitter Kyle Bachman into the first turn for the early lead in the pro stock feature. Fifth-place starter Shaun Miller wasted no time moving into the runner up position by the completion of the first lap, while Bachman raced third.

On the seventh lap, Miller edged out Kratzer for the lead at the start/finish line. Two laps later, last week’s feature winner Doug Minium lost control of his race car and backed into the first turn wall. Three other cars were involved in the incident, including AJ Stroup, who flipped over in his car. All drivers escaped injury.

When the race resumed, Kratzer remained in striking distance of race leader Miller. On the final lap, Kratzer attempted a low pass entering turn three. The last-ditch effort almost paid off as Kratzer came up a half of a car-length short at the finish. Miller was victorious over Kratzer, Bachman, Jason Smith, and Mike Kiehl.

Polesitter Brian Johnson charged into the lead at the start of the roadrunner feature. Johnson was trailed by second-place starter Tim Mitch for the first three laps until current point leader and ninth-place starter Brad Mitch took over the runner up position.

When Johnson and Mitch raced side-by-side through turns three and four on lap eight, Johnson’s car got loose and spun sideways. Mitch inherited the lead at this point and had to hold off seventh-place starter Ricky Bender to the finish. Mitch was victorious by just .35 of a second over Bender, Cory Long, Eric Pinkerton, and Jason Sherman.

MARK SMITH WINS LINCOLN SPEEDWAY PENNSYLVANIA SPEEDWEEK OPENER; Will Walls comes back from flat tire to win his 2nd in Thundercars

ABBOTTSTOWN, PA , 6/26/2010 - Tower City's Mark Smith picked up his first career Lincoln Speedway 410 sprint win in the season opener back in March. So it was only fitting that he picked up his second career win in the 2010 Pennsylvania Speedweek Opener at the Pigeon Hills Saturday night. Smith traded slide jobs with 10-time track champ Fred Rahmer following a 10th lap caution restart to grab the lead, and then held him off the remaining 20 laps to kick off Pennsylvania Speedweek action and claim the $7,000 top prize held in the 30-lap 11th Annual Kevin Gobrecht Memorial. Smith and Rahmer's exchange of slide jobs at both end of the lightning-quick 3/8th-mile high banked oval on the 10th lap restart had the packed grandstand on their feet and was not forgotten by an outwardly happy Smith in victory lane. "We got by Fred (Rahmer) on a restart and that's doing something, said Smith upon exiting his Bricker's French Fries/NRC Controls/Mach 1 Chassis No.7M in victory lane. "He's the best on restarts and we beat him on one tonight and managed to hold him off the rest of the race." Polesitter Kyle Pruitt grabbed the lead at the outset and led the first lap. But his lead was short-lived as fourth-starting Rahmer drove by on the second lap. Smith, who started third, followed Rahmer into second on the third lap with second-starting Johnny Mackison Jr., sixth-starting Lance Dewease and fifth-starting Brian Montieth giving chase. Montieth was charging hard and got by Dewease and Mackison to move into third by the time the first caution flag waved on the 10th lap for a stopped Bobby Howard. That caution set up the race-winning pass by Smith as he threw a slider on Rahmer in the first and second turns, only to have the all-time leading feature winner do the same at the other end of the track in turns three and four, with Smith hanging on to get by for the lead. Subsequent cautions for a Sam Schlosberg spin and a stopped Chad Layton on lap 11 kept Smith's hold on the top spot in doubt with Rahmer, Montieth, Mackison, Alan Krimes and Dewease behind him on each restart. Just before the halfway point Montieth began making moves on Rahmer for second place, allowing Smith to open up some breathing room out front. The red flag waved right at the halfway mark when Aaron Ott flipped in the first and second turns, collecting Tyler Walker, Brad McClelland, and Layton. Smith kept Rahmer at bay over the next three laps before the race's final caution flag waved on the 19th lap for a Walker spin in turn four. The remainder of the event went non-stop with Smith pulling away as the laps wound down and took the checkers 1.39 seconds ahead to start off Pennsylvania Speedweek as the point leader. "I kind of was slowing down there a little bit at the end because I didn't want to kill my tires in case Fred was coming on at the end, said Smith, "I know how he is, he's a sleeper and he'll come on at the end when your stuff is all used up...I was saving some stuff there at the end in case he was going to come back on me." "Fred's a hell of a racer and I have a lot of respect for the man. He's helped me along in my career. Montieth, who was passed by Dewease with nine laps to go for third place, fought back around Dewease in an exciting battle with three laps to go and came on strong in the final laps to challenge Rahmer for second coming of the final turns to the checkered, with Rahmer holding him off by the slimmest of margins. 15th-starting Alan Krimes completed a great run by coming through the field to pass Dewease in the closing laps to finish fourth, with Dewease settling for fifth. Completing the top-10 were Daryn Pittman, Mackison, fast time trialer Greg Hodnett, Cory Haas, and Doug Esh (who was driving the Pancho Lawler No.93 sprinter). Sprint heats were won by Dewease, Esh, Mackison, and Smith, with Walker winning the B-Main. Fast time in time trials was set by Hodnett over the 35-car field with a 1-lap time of 13.696-seconds (98.569 MPH). Smith heads into Sunday night's race 2 of eight at Bedford Speedway with the point lead (165 points), followed by Rahmer (143 points), Montieth (133 points), Krimes (124 points), Dewease (123 points), Hodnett )122 points), Pittman (117 points), Mackison (111 points), Cory Haas (96 points), and Esh (96 points).

Will Walls battled back from an early flat tire to win the 20-lap thundercar feature for his second win of 2010. An eight-car crash in the first and second turns on the second lap sent several competitors to the pits with Walls being one of them. Walls was able to quickly change a flat tire and rejoin the field for the restart. Outside frontrow starter Justin Mong grabbed the lead at the drop of the green and led the first nine laps before Walls came charging back through the field to make his race-winning pass on lap 10. Defending track champion Duane Watson come on strong over the second half of the feature to challenge Walls for the win, with Walls shutting down the inside groove and hanging on for his sixth career thundercar win at Lincoln Speedway. Mikey Guise ran a strong race to finish third, with Jimmy Combs and Sam Gallagher rounding out the top-five. The remaining cars to finish were Justin Mong who finished sixth, Chuck Walls seventh, and Jeff Wilson eighth. Heats for the 15 Thundercars were won by Kyle Martin and Mike Slaybaugh.

Williams Grove Speedway

HIRD WIN FOR LANCE DEWEASE -- HAAS STOPS CANNON IN 358s

MECHANICSBURG, PA -- Lance Dewease took full advantage of Fred Rahmer’s misfortune and went on to win the 25-lap sprint car feature Friday night at Williams Grove Speedway. Brent Marks took the lead at the start and set the pace while Rahmer and Dewease were moving through the field. Rahmer, who started tenth, was up to third on the second lap with Dewease, who started eleventh, right behind him. Rahmer took the runnerup spot from Aaron Ott on lap three then drove by Marks the next time around. Ott and Dewease passed Marks on lap five and began to dice for second place. Mechanical problems struck Rahmer on lap six, which sent him to the pits ending his night. Dewease took the lead from Ott exiting the second corner on lap seven. Once in front Dewease rolled to his 73rd career victory at Williams Grove. He also became the first 3-time winner in 2010 at the Grove. Dewease earned $4290 for his performance. His total included lap money and a $500 bonus based on his starting position. Greg Hodnett came from the 15th starting position to finish second and may have had the fastest car on the race track at the finish although he would have needed a caution flag to catch Dewease. Hodnett’s finish moved him back into first place in the Lawrence Chevrolet point standings. Ott settled for third. Danny Dietrich came from 14th to steal fourth from Tyler Walker on the last lap. Chad Layton came from 13th to sixth. Mark Smith, Brian Montieth, Doug Dodson and Alan Krimes completed the top ten. Heats for the 26 sprint cars in competition were won by Chris Meleason, Montieth and Dodson. Adam Wilt won the consolation race. In the 20-lap 358 feature Cory Haas started tenth and took the lead from Amy Ott on lap 15, then held off a last lap charge by Pat Cannon to score his first victory of the season. Logan Schuchart, Scott Geesey, Kyle Moody, Ott, Todd Rittenhouse, Jr., Billy Johns, Jimmy Reppert and Danny Massey completed the top ten. Haas, Moody, and Chad Trout claimed heats for the 30 358s in competition. The consolation race went to Chad Criswell.

WAGAMAN CLAIMS POPULAR CAREER FIRST IN TRAIL-WAY 358 SPRINTS;

GALLAGHER REPEATS IN THRILLING THUNDERCAR FEATURE;

McCLANE WINS FIRST IN EXTREME STOCKS; ROHRBAUGH AGAIN IN LIMITED STOCKS

Hanover, PA (06/25/10) – “If you’re not first, you’re last.”

So exclaimed a jubilant Tim Wagaman after a wildly popular win in the 25-lap “358” sprint car feature at Trail-Way Speedway Friday night.

“This is what my family works for every week,” continued Wagaman upon exiting his Zeigler Kitchens/Delco Signs/Smith Motorsports/Hoosier Tire Mid-Atlantic #1 after his first career sprint car feature win.

And Wagaman did it in grand style, coming from 11th starting spot to power around Troy Becker on a 20th lap restart for the lead and then holding off 12th-starting Dale Hammaker over the last two laps.

“I knew if Dale passed me, he would have to do it on the top. He raced me clean,” said Wagaman, “This is the best feeling in racing…even better than I thought!”

Points leader Brad McClelland blew a motor in his qualifying event and failed to start the feature. Hammaker’s second-place finish vaulted him into the Trail-Way points lead.

Tenth-starting Joe Trone, Jr. crossed third, followed by Randy Whisler and Mike Bittinger.

Sixth through tenth were 20th-starting Randy Davis, Jr., 17th-starting Nick Palmerino, Trevor Little, Brian Suchy, and Becker.

Heats for the 22 “358” sprint cars on hand were won by Billy Heltzel III, Bittinger, and Trone.

Sam Gallagher chased Kyle Martin for 16 laps before making the race-winning pass in turns one and two of the final lap and score his second win in-a-row in the 20-lap thundercar feature.

Martin, who started on the pole, led every lap except the last, and then poured salt his wound when he spun in turn four coming to the checkered. He was credited with a fifth-place finish.

Second through fourth were Will Walls, Rick Weaver, and Matt Wampler.

The lone thundercar heat was won by Martin.

Pat McClane raced to his first career Trail-Way win in the 20-lap Extreme Stock feature.

Polesitter Chris Heller led the first six laps before dropping to the infield with motor problems. That handed the lead to Jeremy Stremmel, who led the next three laps until sixth-starting McClane took over. Stremmel dropped to the infield with a flat tire on lap 14, moving Brent Hake into the runner-up spot.

One lap later, hard charger Doug Bennett got past Hake for second, but he was unable to catch McClane. Timothy Hahn crossed third.

Extreme Stock heats were won by Bennett and Heller.

Kyle Rohrbaugh made it two in-a-row and third win of the season in the 12-lap limited stock feature. Tom Senseney, Jr. and 18th-starting Brad Kress completed the top three.

Heats for the 22 limited stocks were won by Terry Hartlaub and Brian Walls. Jason Chronister took the checkered in the consolation event.

Tomorrow (6/26), Trail-Way Speedway will host opening night of the PA 600 Speedweek. Also on the schedule are the 270cc Micro Sprints and 1000cc Sidewinders. Gates open at 4:00 p.m. with racing beginning at 6:30 p.m.

Next Friday (7/2), the 358 Sprints Cars are on the schedule with the Thundercars, All American Outlaws and Limited Stocks. Gates open at 5:30 p.m. and racing begins at 7:30 p.m.

Next Saturday (7/3), Trail-Way Speedway will hold an Independence Day Special with the Junk Cars. Also on the schedule are the Figure 8’s, Powder Puffs, and Starlite 6-cylinder and 4-cylinder Oval Cars. Gates open at 4:00 p.m. with racing beginning at 6:00 p.m.

CHAD LAYTON & TIM GRAY WIN 1ST/ROD STROUP AIRLIFTED FROM PORT ROYAL SPEEDWAY

June 20, 2010

Port Royal, PA

It started off like any other night at Port Royal Speedway. In fact, it appeared the evening might be completed quickly. Lower than normal car counts in the Aumiller & Associate Insurance sprint car and AB Auto Glass/Gray's Towing & Licensing Service late model divisions required just two qualifying races each. The Miller Auto Parts pro stocks and Olde Dress Factory Antique Shop enduro cars were scheduled for feature races only. The program could have been finished by 9:30 p.m.

One sprint car heat race changed the entire evening. It also changed veteran sprint car racer Rod Stroup's life for the next several months. Fortunately Stroup will recover from injuries received during a first lap crash. It could have been, and looked, a whole lot worse.

Stroup and Michael Heckman lined up in the front row of heat race one. The pair exited turn four together. As they streaked down the front straight away to the green flag, contact was made. Then disaster struck. Stroup's racer was turned into the outside wall and began to flip. Ten other cars were in the heat race. Stoup either hit, or was hit by several of them. The mishap started approximately 75 yards before the flag stand. Stroup rolled at least four times. Contact with other cars continued to carry him down the track. When his battered racer stopped, it was upright inside turn one. Momentum carried Stroup past the shack where the pit area scales are located. Safety workers arriving on the scene knew there was a serious problem and immediately summoned for additional help. Stroup was conscious and dazed. Stroup complained of neck, back and leg pain. He was also having difficulty with his vision. Medic's and rescue workers began cutting the roll cage from his car. The decision was made to remove Stroup from the racer while still seated in his racing seat. Oxygen was administered to Stroup and the decision was made to air lift him from the track. Initial plans called for a trip to Danville and Geisinger Medical Center. Later the decision was made to transport Stroup to Hershey Medical Center where he was treated and was waiting a possible release as this report was written. Stroup's injuries were severe, but not as bad as initially feared. Family members report Stroup was treated for broken ribs, a puncture wound knee injury and two compression fractures of vertebrae in his back. Stroup was reported in good spirits despite the accident.

Chad Layton of Harrisburg provided fans with excitement by beating Joey Hershey on the final lap of the sprint car feature event. Layton used a slider move entering turn one during the final lap. It worked and Layton had the lead for good exiting turn two. Hershey drove an outstanding race to finish second. Dave Hahn was third with Craig Robinson fourth. Todd Shaffer was fifth. Sixth through tenth were Mike Erdley, Rick Lafferty, Daryn Pittman, Mike Wagner and Cliff Brian. Heat races for the 22 car field were won by Hahn and Greg Hodnett.

Caution periods came during lap two and 13. Michael Heckman stopped during lap two and exited the speedway. Curt Stroup spun in turn four and returned to action.

Layton reflected on his evenings work. " Our car is real good and we've been working real hard on it. I didn't think I was going to get Joey Hershey. I seen the laps winding down. The last time I looked at the board it was lap 19. I was trying to be smart and trying a bunch of different things. It took every thing we have to get by him and get the job done. I'm glad to be standing here. It's been a long time. "

Owner Dave Middleswarth discussed his race team following the event. " These guys on this team are really something. We fight, we argue, we play, we win races. It's a good deal. All These guys, they're so deserving of this.This is our home track. I live 20 minutes from here. It's where I like to come to a race and it couldn't happen at a better time." Middleswarth continued by discussing his decision to field race cars. " I grew up two blocks from Jan Opperman's race shop. It's something we grew up with and we started going to the races as kids. I never thought I'd own a car. I kinda got used to it. My kids like to come to the races and they won't let me quit."

Tim Gray of Mifflintown won the 20 lap late model feature. Gray dominated action after starting from the pole position and led every lap to score the win. " Every once in a while, about once a year I get everything right and win one of these.", Gray stated. His wife, Donna, joined her husband in post race interviews and jokingly stated, ' that's my swimming pool going around out there." Bud Barton was second with Bob Dunn third. Gary Beward and Tim Wilson, who started 15TH, was fifth. Rounding out the top ten were Andy Haus, Jere Wierman, Derrick Casner, Bryon Sipe and Rick Singleton. Gray and Barton won heat races. There were 22 cars.

Dan Berry became the leading feature winner of the season in pro stock action. Berry's third victory came over Derrick Garman, Jason Zook, John Heane, Keith Garman, Josh Angle, Ken Stitt, Tracker, Tim Krape and Scott Landis. Keith Garman led the first two laps. Berry led from lap three until the finish.15 cars were present.

The 30 lap enduro dash was won by Jason Davis. It was Davis second win of the season. Davis took over the lead from early race leader Bill Powell on lap seven. Powell finished second. Jan Powell was third. Steve Harlan and Craig Imes completed the top five. Sixth through tenth were Adam Yetter, Scott Hopple, John Goshorn, Deron Henry and Rick Adair. 20 cars were entered.

Action continues June 26 when the 358 & 305 sprint cars join the late models,pro srocks and Zimmerman Truck Lines powder puff cars. Gates open at 5:00 p.m., with racing at 7. Contact www.portroyalspeedway.com for more information.

CANNON REPEATS IN WHITCOMB MEMORIAL; YODER AND MINIUM WIN STOCK CAR FIRSTS; ROADRUNNER 20 AWARDED TO DUNHAM

SELINSGROVE, Pa. – Pat Cannon’s winning streak in central Pennsylvania continued Saturday night at Selinsgrove Speedway when the Etters driver claimed his fourth victory at the track in the seventh annual Joe Whitcomb Memorial for 358 sprint cars.

For the second year in a row, Cannon won the Whitcomb Memorial and earned $1,771 for his eighth win overall in 2010, having also won at Williams Grove Speedway on Friday night. The victory marked the 21st of Cannon’s career at the Snyder County oval driving the Highlands’ Tire & Service Center No. 3. Cannon set fast time in qualifying with a lap time of 18.101.

Dylan Yoder of Selinsgrove won his first career late model race at Selinsgrove Speedway in the division’s 25-lap main event. Holding off current point leader Jeff Rine of Danville for the victory, Yoder became the fourth different late model feature winner this season.

Doug Minium of Middleburg was also a first-time winner in the pro stock division with a victory in the 15-lap feature, while Scott Dunham Jr. of Selinsgrove was awarded the win in the fourth annual Collier Paving & Construction Roadrunner 20 when Kyle Miller’s race car failed a post-race technical inspection. Brad Mitch of McClure set a new one-lap track record for roadrunners with a lap time of 26.788.

Selinsgrove Speedway will present a four division racing program of 358 sprint cars, late models, pro stocks, and roadrunners sponsored by PEPSI at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, June 26.

At the start of the Joe Whitcomb Memorial for sprint cars, polesitter Phil Walter grabbed the early lead with second-place starter Colby Womer racing in his shadow. A two-car crash in turn three involving Matt Horst and Matt Heimbach stopped the race on lap four. All drivers escaped injury.

On the lap five restart, Womer made an outside pass by P. Walter on the backstretch for the lead. Then defending track champion Nate Snyder slowed in turns three and four and was forced to withdraw from the race. The restart saw P. Walter rocket back into the lead while eighth-place starter Pat Cannon made it a close three-car battle at the front of the pack.

Cannon made the winning pass using the outside lane while racing off turn two on the seventh circuit. Once in front, Cannon checked out from the rest of the field while Womer, Walter, seventh-place starter TJ Stutts, and fifth-place starter Blane Heimbach raced in the top five.

At the halfway point, 14th-place starter Davie Franek and 19th-place starter Mike Walter streaked to the front of the pack. Franek took over the runner up position from Womer on lap 15 and attempted to reel in Cannon in traffic. Meanwhile, a three-car battle unfolded for the third position between Stutts, Womer, and M. Walter.

On lap 22, the caution flag came out for B. Heimbach when his sprinter rolled to a stop in turn three. With lapped cars separating Cannon from Franek on the restart, Cannon was able to quickly distance himself from the pack and go on to post a 3.2 second margin of victory over Franek, M. Walter, Womer, and Stutts.

Third-place starter Dylan Yoder took the lead at the start of the late model feature and never looked back. D. Yoder was followed by polesitter and fourth-place starter Troy Miller until sixth-place starter Brett Schadel stormed into second on lap five.

The first caution flag of the race unfurled on lap five when Matt Cochran and Dave Zona were involved in a hard crash in turn three. When the race resumed, D. Yoder continued to set the pace in front of Schadel, Miller, fifth-place starter Kyle Rhoads, and ninth-place starter J. Yoder.

At the midway point of the race, D. Yoder was holding almost a straightaway lead over Schadel, J. Yoder, 10th-place starter Jeff Rine, and Rhoads. Rine, a five-time winner this year, advanced to third on lap 16 and moved into second on lap 18.

D. Yoder navigated his way through lapped traffic in the final laps of the race while Rine was attempting to reel in the young leader. At the finish, D. Yoder was victorious by 2.1 seconds over Rine, Schadel, J. Yoder, and Rhoads.

Polesitter Kurt Wray powered into the early lead in the pro stock feature, with second-place starter Mike Kiehl and fourth-place starter Doug Minium in close pursuit. On the second circuit, Wray, Minium, and Kiehl raced three-wide into the first turn. Minium came away with the lead when Wray tagged the backstretch wall and was forced to withdraw from the race.

On the restart, Minium continued to set the pace as sixth-place starter Jason Smith and seventh-place starter AJ Stroup advanced to the front of the pack and became serious threats. While Smith and Stroup see-sawed for the runner up position for several laps, Minium was able to stretch his lead with five laps remaining. Smith secured the second position on lap 13 but ran out of time before he could catch Minium, who posted a mere .47 of a second margin of victory over Smith, Stroup, Brad Trump, and Dave Brouse Jr.

At the start of the Roadrunner 20, second-place starter Scott Dunham Jr. pulled into the lead and was trailed by fourth-place starter by Kyle Miller. Following a lap of side-by-side racing for the lead, Miller took command of the field on the third circuit.

Miller eventually started to distance himself from the rest of the field. By lap five, a race for second unfolded between S. Dunham and polesitter Cory Long. Then point leader and sixth-place starter Brad Mitch moved into the fourth spot, while fifth-place starter Eric Pinkerton raced in the top five.

The event’s first caution flag unfurled on lap eight when Ray Rothfuss spun in turn four. On the restart, S. Dunham attempted to make a pass by Miller to reclaim the lead to no avail. Another caution flag regrouped the field on lap 10 when Pinkerton crashed into the fourth turn wall.

For the final laps, Miller held the rest of the field at bay and posted a .45 of a second victory over S. Dunham, only to have the win taken away when Miller’s race car failed a post-race technical inspection. S. Dunham was awarded the win over Mitch, Ricky Bender, Long, and Keith Bissinger.

Williams Grove Speedway

TRI-TRACK SHOOTOUT ON JUNE 26 -- JULY 17 ADDED TO SCHEDULE

MECHANICSBURG, PA -- The Saturday Night Series returns to Williams Grove Speedway on June 26 and while super sportsman cars will be on the card along with the street stocks and 4-cylinder stock cars, the 358 c.i. late models will take center stage this week. The first heat is scheduled to start at 6:30. The late model teams will be competing in the Tri-Track Shootout, a mini-series involving Trail-Way and Lincoln Speedways in addition to Williams Grove. Late model car count has been averaging 29 per race after four races this season and that number could increase since some invaders are expected for this week’s special event. Regardless of who is in the field, the man to beat may well be Gene Knaub. On June 19 the defending division champion became the first driver to repeat in late model competition at the Grove this year. Since the 2007 season this former 358-sprint driver has scored 14 victories in 358-late model competition at Williams Grove. No other driver can approach that figure. The sportsman division has produced five different winners in as many races this year. Last Saturday night Bobby Hockenberry scored his fourth career victory at the Grove and joined Paul Miller, Russ Mitten, Scott Dellinger and Rich Eichelberger as 2010 sportsman winners. There will be no Saturday night racing at Williams Grove over the July 4 holiday weekend, but the series will return with Topless Night on July 10. A Saturday night date has been added to the Grove’s schedule. Because three early season races were lost to rain, July 17 will be used to allow the sportsman, late model, street stock and 4-cylinder divisions the opportunity to make up at least one of those lost dates.

Bobby Hockenberry, Gene Knaub, Rodney Westhafer and Todd Spangler Win Williams Grove Speedway Saturday Features

Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania

After a season of struggles, Super Sportsman driver Bobby Hockenberry’s season took a drastic turn Saturday evening at Williams Grove Speedway. With the top three drivers eliminated in a late-race tangle, Hockenberry took advantage of their misfortune to win the 20-lap Blazer’s Body Shop Super Sportsman feature.

Ryan Rupp took command of the lead on the opening lap with Aaron Eichelberger in second. Bobby Hockenberry, from New Bloomfield, started fourth and held the third position. On the fifth lap Hockenberry edged the Strawser No. 25 in front of Eichelberger. Eichelberger battled back and regained second place.

Rupp opened up an eight-length edge but Eichelberger closed the gap. By the midway point Eichelberger was challenging for the lead. On the 12th circuit of the half-mile oval, Eichelberger took the lead on the backstretch. In turn four Rupp and Eichelberger tangled. Frankie Herr had just taken third from Hockenberry, and Herr was involved in the tangle.

The restart placed Bobby Hockenberry in the lead position. Hockenberry held the lead to the finish line. He won his first of the season eight lengths in front of Scott Dellinger, Jay Fannasy, Carmen Perigo Jr. and Mike Enders.

Heat wins for the 32-car Super Sportsman field went to Aaron Eichelberger, Bobby Hockenberry and Ryan Rupp. Duaine Smith won the consolation race.

Gene Knaub became the first repeat feature winner in the Tattoo Mom’s 358 Late Model class. Knaub took advantage of a big opening-lap move to win the 20-lap main event.

Wes Alleman started the feature on the pole and led the first lap. Gene Knaub started in fourth place. On the front straightaway Knaub made a three-wide sweeping pass of Mike Goodwin, Duane Harbaugh and Travis Mease. The move worked and Knaub was in second place.

Knaub’s winning move came on lap two. Knaub found a good bite on the slick-racing surface. Off the exit of turn two Knaub powered his way by leader Wes Alleman.

While Knaub held an eight-length edge, the battle was on for second place between Alleman and Jake Lettich. For several laps, in the second half of the feature, Lettich held second place. Alleman was able to regain second position following a restart.

Knaub, driving a rebuilt Rocket Chassis, easily won the feature over Alleman, Lettich, Travis Mease and Bobby Beard.

Bobby Beard, Travis Mease and Wes Alleman won the qualifying races for the 28-car 358 Late Model field. Chase Billet was the winner of the consolation race.

The Pennsylvania Sprint Series 305 Sprint Cars had two feature events. The first feature was a rained-out show from May. The second was the scheduled 20-lap show.

In the first race, Rodney Westhafer, a student at nearby Cumberland Valley High School, held the lead. Numerous caution flags and a red flag for a Tyler Bear flip, kept the field close to the Westhafer No. 44.

Despite the caution flags, second place driver Brent Comp was not able to mount a challenge for the lead. Westhafer, from Mechanicsburg, cruised to his very first win in a sprint car. Brent Comp, Todd Spangler, Randy Kaylor and Brian Walker completed the top five finishers. Steve Whary crossed the finish line in third but lost the position when his car was light at the scales.

In the second feature Logan Wagner was the leader from lap one. Following a lap four restart Wagner received heavy pressure from “Cowboy Jim” Kennedy and Todd Spangler. Spangler took second place from Kennedy and he began his pursuit of leader Wagner.

By lap 12 Spangler was four-lengths behind the leader. Within two laps the gap narrowed to one length. With five-laps remaining Wagner’s No. 7W spun coming off turn two. Although Wagner never stopped, he did an incredible job saving the car, the caution came out for a dangerous situation. Because the caution was for Wagner, he restarted the race at the rear of the field.

Todd Spangler, from Dillsburg, was the leader with the race restart. He led the final laps and won by four-lengths over Randy Kaylor, Ryan Lynn, Rodney Westhafer and Brent Comp.

Todd Spangler, Mike Alleman and Randy Kaylor won the qualifying races for the 27-car field.

MARKS CLAIMS CAREER FIRST IN LINCOLN GOHN MEMORIAL; Rittenhouse leads wire-to-wire in 358 sprints; Gallagher takes second 2010 win in thundercars

ABBOTTSTOWN, PA , 6/19/2010 - What a difference a day makes. 19-year-old sophomore Brent Marks, coming off a disappointing loss to Danny Dietrich at Williams Grove the night before, scored a long-overdue first career win in Saturday's 25-lap Gohn Memorial feature event for 410 sprint cars at Lincoln Speedway. And what a night to win. Counting $1,125 from the Gohn family and friends, $300 bonus from Scott Keller of Scott's Towing, and $100 bonus from John Trone of Trone's Outdoor Advertising, Marks received $4,525 in winnings, his biggest payday ever. And the win came by a scant 34-hundredths of-a-second over Dietrich, the driver who won last year's Gohn Memorial and passed Marks on the last lap at the Grove a night earlier. "I can't believe I'm standing here right now," exclaimed a jubilant Marks in victory lane, "It was getting frustrating finishing second, and after last night's deal, I was determined to get this one tonight!" "I looked on the scoreboard and saw Dietrich up there in second, and I was saying to myself that I didn't want to let him get by me again," continued Marks, "I can't believe I got my first win here at Lincoln. This is awesome. It was always my dream to race 410 sprint cars, and I can't think my crew enough. They've worked there butts off this year, we've learned a lot, and I hope this will be the start of a winning run for us." Handicapping placed Marks seventh for the start. He was running fourth by the end of the second lap, got by Brad McClelland for third two laps later, and was still there when race-long leader Kyle Pruitt dove to the infield with mechanical problems while leading on a seventh-lap restart. He then chased leader Josh Wells for the next ten laps before driving under the Shoemaker Painting #6W exiting turn four of lap 17. The two leaders had raced wheel-to-wheel the preceding eight laps, with Wells on the cushion and Marks down by the inside guardrail. "Wells drove a great race, we drove each other clean. Normally, guys will cut you off, but he drove a great race and it was awesome to race with him," said Marks of the duel with Wells. For most of those laps, Fred Rahmer, who started 11th, was running third. But Rahmer faded after Dietrich passed the C&S Lawn and Landscaping #51 at the same time Marks was taking the lead. Rahmer eventually crossed 11th. Dietrich caught Wells for second on lap 19, and quickly closed on Marks, whose lead dwindled from 1.7 seconds at the end of lap 20 to .34 seconds at the finish. Crossing third was McClelland, with Lance Dewease coming rom 10th starting spot to finish fourth and Wells settling for fifth. Sixth through tenth were 14th-starting Mark Smith, 13th-starting Cory Haas, Jim Siegel, Brian Leppo, and Brian Montieth, who was involved in a multi-car crash in turns one and two of lap seven. Marks became the 10th different winner in 12 races at Lincoln in 2010, and the 195 th different feature winner in Lincoln history Heats for the 28 "410" Sprinters were won by McClelland, Dietrich, and Rahmer, with Johnny Mackison Jr. winning the consolation.

Norristown's Todd Rittenhouse, Jr. completed a perfect night by leading every lap of the 20-lap "358" sprint car feature, claiming his second career win in the Pigeon Hills. But it wasn't easy, as second-starting Logan Schuchart dogged him the entire way. Despite applying heavy pressure most of the race, Schuchart settled for second, with Glenndon Forsythe coming from seventh to cross third, Kyle Moody finishing fourth, and Jason Clauss fifth. Sixth through tenth were points leader Dale Hammaker (who started 11th), Brook Weibley, Adrian Shaffer, Tim Berkheimer, and Tim Wagaman. Heats for the 37 "358" Sprints were won by Rittenhouse, Hammaker, Keith Prutzman, and Clauss. Twin consolations were won by Troy Becker and Eric Tomecek. Prutzman was unable to start his car for the feature, and Bob Anderson was added as the first alternate.

Sam Gallagher completed a perfect weekend with his second win in as many nights (Trail-Way win the night before) and his second win of the season in the 20-lap thundercar feature. Gallagher, who started seventh, took third from Mike Guise on lap 10, then grabbed second from Rick Weaver on lap 12. He then chased pole-sitter and race-long leader Jamie Zentmyer to make his race-winning pass on lap 18 heading up the backstretch and then hung on for a final one-lap dash to the checkered for his .66-second win over Larry Niederer. The win was Gallagher's 13th career win at Lincoln. Zentmyer spun on lap 19 after a great run and ended up with a 13th place finish. Points leader Gino Comi came from 12th to finish third, with Guide fourth and Mike Slaybaugh fifth. Heats for the 17 Thundercars were won by Comi and Gallagher.

Next Saturday night, June 26th, at 7 PM, Lincoln Speedway will kick off 2010 Pennsylvania Speedweek action with the 11th Annual Kevin Gobrecht Memorial. The popular Thundercars will round out the evening's racing action. Gates will open at 5 PM, with hot laps getting underway around 6:30 PM, and time trials getting the green flag at 7 PM.

Williams Grove Speedway  June 18, 2010

ANOTHER LAST LAP PAS FOR THE LEAD -- THIS TIME IT’S DOUBLE D

MECHANICSBURG, PA -- Danny Dietrich used a last lap pass to take the lead from Brent Marks and went on to win the 25-lap sprint car feature Friday night at Williams Grove Speedway. Marks took the lead at the start and had opened a four-second margin at the half-way point. Dietrich, who started fourth, lost a few positions in the early going, then began to come on. He entered the top five on lap four. The Grove’s leading Rookie of the Year candidate passed Don Kreitz for fourth on lap nine, then took third from Ryan Bohlke five tours later. Dietrich moved by Chris Meleason for second place on lap 16 and began to close on Marks whose pace was slowed by lapped traffic. Dietrich took the lead for the first time with an inside move through turns one and two, but Marks wasn’t done chasing his first career win at Williams Grove. Marks made an aggressive move entering turn one the next time around and slid in front of Dietrich to retake the lead. Dietrich followed Marks on lap 24, then made his move after taking the white flag. He used the low line to get even with Marks through turns one and two and edged ahead on the backstretch. Dietrich, a second generation racer from Aspers, held off a last corner bid by Marks to become the speedway’s eighth different winner in 2010. Marks was second followed by Ryan Bohlke in his best effort of the season. Kreitz was fourth and Aaron Ott completed the top five. Greg Hodnett finished sixth and took the lead in the Lawrence Chevrolet point standings. Daryn Pittman, Rick Lafferty, Alan Krimes and Chad Layton finished in positions six through ten respectively. Heats for the 29 sprint cars went to Bohlke, Chris Meleason and Marks. Layton won the consolation race. Pat Cannon started 12th, took the lead from Brian Garland on lap eleven and went on to win the 20-lap 358 feature. It was his third victory of the season. Garland was second followed by Scott Geesey, Danny Massey and Jay Galloway. Cory Haas , Garland and Jason Shultz won heats for the 30 358s in competition Blane Heimbach won the consolation race.
