Lance Dewease $29,000 richer with Bob Weikert Memorial win at Port Royal Speedway

PORT ROYAL, Pa. (May 28, 2023) - For the second time in three tries, Lance Dewease is a Tezos All Star Circuit of Champions presented by Mobil 1 feature winner, doing so in fantastic fashion with a $29,000 payday in the annual Bob Weikert Memorial at Port Royal Speedway in Port Royal, Pennsylvania. Dewease, who was victorious in Williams Grove’s Doug Esh Tribute just two nights prior, led all 29 circuits in the Weikert main event, increasing his All Star win tally to 46-career, 15 at the Port Royal “Speed Palace.”

In addition, the National Sprint Car Hall of Famer bumped his Port Royal career total to 122, three of which occurring in Bob Weikert Memorial winning fashion.

Only one caution interrupted action on Sunday night, that taking place on lap 18. The momentum shift erased a near-five second lead for Lance Dewease, forced to eventually fend off the “Legend” Mike Wagner and Bob Weikert Memorial night one winner, Anthony Macri.

Macri, who started ninth, would power to second immediately following the restart, but a clear path and clean air allowed Dewease to maintain control.

“Well, I knew where Anthony [Macri] wanted to run, and I knew where Mike [Wagner] wanted to run. That was probably the most nervous I’ve ever been at the start of a race…just didn’t know if I had enough for these guys,” Dewease, driver of the Conduit/Glenville Station No. 69K sprint car, said. “I wanted to make sure I didn’t follow any lapped cars too closely. Luckily enough, we got here.

“To have Davey Brown with us here tonight is really special,” Dewease added. “For his age, he works really hard on this race car…everyone does. These guys really revitalized my career and we’re going to ride this wave for as long as we can.”

Although using every inch of Port Royal’s outer edge, the cushion was not enough for Anthony Macri, forced to finish second at the Juniata County Fairgrounds, followed by Wagner, Danny Dietrich, and Devon Borden.

“That late caution was helpful, but it didn’t help enough. I knew with Lance being in clean air, he was going to take off,” Macri said. “I kept trying to run the top as hard as I could. I just wasn’t close enough to do anything at the end. We’ll take a second and be proud.

Bill Brian Jr. scored the Wingless Sportsman victory following the 410 Sprint Car A-main!

Tezos A Feature (29 Laps): 1. 69K-Lance Dewease[1]; 2. 39M-Anthony Macri[9]; 3. 55W-Mike Wagner[6]; 4. 29W-Danny Dietrich[4]; 5. 23-Devon Borden[2]; 6. 55-Hunter Schuerenberg[14]; 7. 26-Zeb Wise[7]; 8. 45H-Jeff Halligan[17]; 9. 7BC-Tyler Courtney[10]; 10. 15H-Sam Hafertepe Jr[11]; 11. 1-Logan Wagner[13]; 12. 6-Ryan Smith[12]; 13. 11-Cory Eliason[3]; 14. 19-Brent Marks[5]; 15. 12-Blane Heimbach[26]; 16. 33M-Gerard McIntyre Jr[25]; 17. 17B-Steve Buckwalter[16]; 18. 33W-Michael Walter[19]; 19. 47K-Kody Lehman[21]; 20. 91-Kyle Reinhardt[20]; 21. 97-JJ Hickle[18]; 22. 70-Scotty Thiel[15]; 23. 11T-TJ Stutts[23]; 24. 29-Sye Lynch[24]; 25. 5-Dylan Cisney[8]; 26. 51-Freddie Rahmer[22] LAP LEADERS: Lance Dewease (1-29)

 

 

Gallagher 5G To Win For USAC East Sprints At Williams Grove Friday

410 and wingless 360 sprints share the card on School’s Out Night

5/28/23

Mechanicsburg – The Apple of the Eye of the USAC East 360 Sprint Car Series’ season is on tap at Williams Grove Speedway coming up this Friday, June 2 as the circuit stages the second running of the Bill Gallagher 5G To Win.

The Lawrence Chevrolet 410 sprint cars will be in action as well on H & N Landscaping School’s Out Night.

The wingless USAC East 360 cars will gather and compete in the Gallagher 5G race to honor late USAC East and URC car owner Bill Gallagher of King of Prussia.

Gallagher fielded his familiar No. 5G sprint car for decades with URC and later with USAC East and earned five URC series titles in his career with Curt Michael at the wheel.

The special, high-dollar USAC East 30-lap feature will pay 5G ($5,000) to win on June 2. The race will also pay $300 just to start the main event, boosting the total main event purse to nearly $16,000 for the 360 sprints!

There will be NO time trials.

Joey Gallagher of GEI Enterprises will present the USAC wingless sprint special in memory of Bill Gallagher.

Aside from USAC East drivers like series point leader Briggs Danner, Steve Drevicki, Alex Bright and Bruce Buckwalter Jr., it’s likely that at least a few outsiders will enter the action to claim the big top prize.

Bright outran Danner to claim the Gallagher race last season at Williams Grove and the Collegeville driver already has one win at the track this season.

The 410 sprints will join the USAC East cars on the special June 2 racing program.

Lance Dewease became the first repeat winner of the season in seven races on May 26 when he nabbed the All Stars Doug Esh Tribute Race worth $10,000. Other winners to date have been Zeb Wise, Brent Marks, Chase Dietz, Brad Sweet, Freddie Rahmer.

Gates will open at 5:30 pm with racing action slated for 7:30.

School’s Out Night fun and games will take place in the infield before and during the races with fireworks for the kids during intermission.

Representatives from the Milton Hershey School will be on hand for School’s Out Night, giving away T-shirts and Hershey chocolate bars to kids in attendance as they celebrate the beginning of Summer vacation.

Adult general admission for June 2 is $20 with students ages 13-20 admitted for $10.

Kids ages 12 and under are always free at Williams Grove Speedway.

Abbottstown, PA (May 27, 2023) – Freddie Rahmer took over the lead in the point standings last week and with his fourth win of the season on Saturday night, Rahmer now sits at the top of the standings ahead of last week’s winner, Dylan Norris.

Rahmer started the 30-lap feature from ninth and made his way to second before the half-way point of the feature. Freddie lined up behind Norris for a late-race restart, “I misjudged Dylan on the restart. I thought he was going to the bottom but he didn’t. I checked up and turned down the bank and got a run and got him down there.”

Despite scoring his fourth win of the season in the pigeon hills, Rahmer and the Eichelberger #8 were a little off, “We got lucky to get by Dylan there on that restart. In the open track it was hard to make a move,” Freddie continued, “Just glad to get the win there after being a little off in the feature.”

Pole sitter, Aaron Bollinger, took the lead when the green flag dropped on the 30-lap feature. Tim Wagaman was in second and Glenndon Forsythe was third. Forsythe, Jordan Givler, Cameron Smith and Dylan Norris were all battling for third when the caution came out on lap 1 for Jeff Miller who sat spun around in turn 1.

Bollinger led Wagaman, Forsythe, Givler and Smith to the cone for the single-file restart. Bollinger got a good jump on Wagaman and Givler looked to the inside of Forsythe. Givler moved up to third and Norris was working his way through the field and got by Forsythe for fourth. Freddie Rahmer was also on the move from his ninth starting spot. Norris got by Givler to take third before the red flag flew on lap 4. Forsythe got upside-down on the back stretch with Cory Haas also involved.

The top five for the restart were Bollinger, Wagaman, Norris, Givler and Smith. Wagaman went low on the restart but the top worked well for Bollinger and he maintained the lead. Smith and Givler battled for fourth and Norris was up to second on lap 6. Smith got up to fourth leaving Givler to fend off Rahmer as he challenged for fifth. Freddie took fifth on lap eight as Norris was closing in on Bollinger for the lead.

Freddie was up to third on lap 11 and Norris was battling Bollinger for the lead in lapped traffic. Dylan took the lead at the line on lap 12 just as the yellow flag flew for Jeff Miller who slowed and came to a stop on the back stretch.

Norris paced the field ahead of Bollinger, Freddie, Wagaman and Givler for the restart. Dylan pulled away and Rahmer got under Bollinger for second as they raced into turn 3.

Givler, Kyle Moody and Chase Dietz battled for sixth as Smith got by Wagaman for fourth. Dietz got by Wagaman for fifth on lap 16.

The leaders were in heavy lapped traffic with 10 laps to go allowing Rahmer to close in on Norris. Dylan and Freddie were bumper to bumper in turns 1 and 2 with Norris holding onto the lead by inches on lap 23. Freddie took the lead coming out of turn 2 but the caution came out before the lap was completed when Zach Allman spun in turn 1. Norris regained the lead for the restart with Rahmer, Bollinger, Dietz and Smith completing the top five.

Rahmer and Norris both went high into 1 with Rahmer shooting down to the bottom in turn 2. Freddie got a good run off turn 2 and took the lead with a slider in turns 3 and 4.

Norris stayed close looking for a way to take the lead back. Moody and Deitz were in a fierce battle for fourth when they both spun out on the front stretch bringing out the caution on lap 26.

The top five for the final restart of the race were Rahmer, Norris, Bollinger, Brandon Rahmer and Smith. Both Rahmer and Norris went low into turn 1 on the restart with Brandon and Smith racing hard for fourth.

Freddie got to the checkered flag .400 seconds ahead of Norris. Bollinger held on to finish third and Brandon Rahmer was fourth. Smith completed the top five.

Kyle Hardy Wired the Field for Super Late Model Win

Kyle Hardy and Gary Stuhler shared the front row for the start of the 30-lap feature on Saturday night in the super late model’s first appearance in the pigeon hills this season. Hardy took the lead when the green flag dropped with Stuhler and Jamie Lathroum battling for second. Lathroum took the spot as they raced wheel to wheel out of turn 4.

Seventh place starter, Jim Bernheisel, had a solid start and was up to fourth. Stuhler reclaimed second on lap 2 letting Bernheisel to work on Lathroum for third.

Larry Neiderer came to a stop on the front stretch bringing out the yellow flag on lap 4. Hardy led, Stuhler, Lathroum, Bernheisel and Tyler Horst to the cone for the restart. There was another yellow on the restart after Jason Schmidt and Tyler Hershey got together on the front stretch. Brad Omps also came to a stop in turn 1.

Anthony Macri Scores Opening Night of All Star Circuit of Champions Bob Weikert Memorial

Port Royal Speedway - PORT ROYAL, Penn. (May 27, 2023)- Anthony Macri backed up his 2022 sweep of the event with a dominant performance during night one of the 2023 All Star Circuit of Champions Bob Weikert Memorial.

Macri bested Mike Wagner, Brent Marks, Lance Dewease and Logan Wagner to score the $10,000 triumph. The victory was Macri’s 22nd of his career at the Juniata County oval.

“This thing was a pleasure to drive for sure,” said Macri. “I’m honestly kind of speechless.”

Mike Wagner and Justin Whittall lined up on the front row for the 30-lasp event and it was the veteran Wagner grabbing the early lead on lap one. Whittall, Macri, Tyler Courtney and Zeb Wise filled out the rest of the top five.

Macri, who started fourth, moved into the runner-up position on lap five. Logan Wagner was an early mover from his 10th starting position and three laps later the defending five-time track champion cracked the top five.

One lap later Mike Wagner was nose deep in lapped traffic and Macri and Whittall were in hot pursuit. It only took too more circuits, but Macri capitalized on Wagner’s struggles with the lappers to cruise round the top side of turns one and two to take the lead down the backstretch.

One lap later the younger Wagner continued his march forward as he moved into fourth, however Macri was cruising out front of the field with ease. By lap 18 Macri had stretched the distance between him and Mike Wagner to close to four seconds.

Four laps later Logan Wagner cracked the podium for the first time and another four laps later Dewease, who started 16th on the grid, moved into fifth.

Marks got by Logan Wagner for the final podium position one lap later and Dewease followed suit into fourth. However, Macri was not to be denied as without a caution, he cruised home to a 9.7 second advantage to capture night one of the event.

“We got into second and Wagner was setting a pretty good pace and I decided I was going to wait for lapped traffic,” said Macri. “I kind of manned up and got up top and started running like I normally do. I knew I had to get up top and make as much speed as I could, and we got it done.”

Dewease earned $1000 as the night’s hard charger courtesy of Valley Supply and Loan Dakota Acres, while 16th place finisher Dylan Cisney scored $1000 courtesy of J&S Classics as the events Warrior Award winner via random draw.

Wise, Jeff Halligan, Whittall, Courtney and Blane Heimbach rounded out the top ten.

Dewease Makes History For Kreitz At Williams Grove, Wins 10K In All Stars Esh Tribute

Don Kreitz Jr. becomes winningest sprint car owner in oval history with 93

5/26/23

Mechanicsburg – Lance Dewease made more sprint car history at Williams Grove Speedway on Friday night when he claimed the All Stars Circuit of Champions Sprints Doug Esh Tribute Race, worth $10,000.

With the win, Dewease made car owner Don Kreitz Jr. the winningest sprint car driver in history at the track with a win total that now stands at 93.

Kreitz overtook late car owner Al Hamilton to claim the record with 61 of the 93 victories to Kreitz’s credit coming with him as an owner/driver before Dewease moved into the seat of his No. 69K.

The victory itself was the 113th of Dewease’s career at the famed oval of which 10 are now All Stars wins.

Chase Dietz started on the pole for the 30-lap Esh race flanked by ace Devon Borden.

However on the first lap, Anthony Macri, who was looking for his first win of the year at the track, hustled by Borden to snare the second spot and set his sights on Dietz.

Borden fell to third but hung in contention for the second spot and in fact had just pulled the trigger to reclaim the position when disaster struck the leader in the third turn.

Nearly simultaneously with Borden’s pass for second, Dietz spun at the front of the field and while Borden and Macri skated by, Freddie Rahmer wasn’t as lucky.

With Borden’s pass negated, Macri assumed command for the restart with Dewease restarting in fourth after taking the initial green flag from the seventh spot.

And while Dewease seemed to struggle to get around any cars during those first 10 laps, the second 10 seemed totally opposite.

He mowed down All Stars point leader Tyler Courtney for third when action resumed before quickly catching Borden for second and taking that spot on lap 12.

In four more laps Dewease was racing in the leader’s shadow but it took until lap 19 for the winning move to take place as the leader worked traffic.

Working well off of the bottom in turn four, Dewease ate up Macri’s advantage to cross the line side by side for control, edging into the narrowest of leads barely visible to the naked eye by clocked at .012 seconds.

But the next 11 laps certainly produced a visible advantage for Dewease as he got away from the field while attention turned to 11th starter Danny Dietrich.

By lap 25 Dietrich was up to second and trying to close on Dewease.

A caution flag with four laps to go for a shredded tire on Tyler Courtney’s mount cleared the way for both drivers with Dewease pulling away to a 3.089 second lead at the finish.

Dietrich finished second followed by Macri, Borden and Kyle Moody.

Sixth through 10th went to Dylan Norris, Jim Siegel, Cory Eliason, Zeb Wise and Brent Marks.

Heats went to Borden, Moody, Tim Shaffer and Dewease.

Dietz won the dash to earn the pole for the feature while Kyle Reinhardt scored the B Main.

Norris set overall fast time with a lap of 16.999 seconds in qualifications.

Feature Finish:

410 sprints, 30 laps: 1. Lance Dewease, 2. Danny Dietrich, 3. Anthony Macri, 4. Devon Borden, 5. Kyle Moody, 6. Dylan Norris, 7. Jim Siegel, 8. Cory Eliason, 9. Zeb Wise, 10. Brent Marks, 11. Justin Whittall, 12. Tim Shaffer, 13. Chad Trout, 14. Kyle Reinhardt, 15. Freddie Rahmer, 16. TJ Stutts, 17. Sam Hafertepe Jr., 18. Lucas Wolfe, 19. Chris Windom, 20. Hunter Schuerenberg, 21. Cameron Smith, 22. Scott Thiel, 23. Billy Dietrich, 24. Tyler Courtney, 25. Chase Dietz, 26. Conner Morrell, 27. Austin Bishop

All Stars Doug Esh Tribute Race Is Friday At Williams Grove
Only appearance of season by All Stars celebrates career of “The Hammer”
May 26 holiday weekend kickoff is sprints only!

5/21/23

Mechanicsburg – Presented by HVAC Distributors Inc., Williams Grove Speedway will celebrate Memorial Day by kicking off the holiday weekend with the $10,000 to win Doug Esh Tribute Race for All Star sprint cars coming up this Friday night, May 26 at 7:30 pm.

The only appearance of the season by the All Stars Circuit of Champions Sprints at Williams Grove will serve to honor former throttle jockey “The Hammer,” Doug Esh of Lancaster.

Esh’s former car owners Dick and Leslie Leach and John Trone along with mechanics Dennis Kohler, Rob Peters and Jim Shreiner will gather for a special pre-race show in the infield beginning just after 5:30.

The special, high-dollar event will be another show in the 2023 Hoosier Diamond Series at the speedway.

Esh ended his run in the sport back on 2017 but not before leaving his mark on Williams Grove and the area in general.

One of his crowning achievements at Williams Grove was scoring the World of Outlaws National Open and the $50,000 top prize that accompanied it in 2006.

Esh’s win at that time was billed as the richest ever in track history, coming aboard the Leach No. 30.

In total, Doug Esh owns 60 career 410 sprint car wins, 24 of which came at Williams Grove Speedway,

Prior to 410s, Esh was successful in 358 sprint competition, recording 17 checkered flags in his career including five at Williams Grove.

Other notable wins in Esh’s Williams Grove career include triumphs in the Mitch Smith Memorial (2), Jack Gunn Memorial and The Tommy Classic.

He was the 2006 Diamond Series Champion at the track.

Fireworks will be part of the sprints only racing program.

All Stars winners at the track last season were Danny Dietrich (2), Brent Marks and Lance Dewease.

All Stars To Stage Only Williams Grove Race Of Season This Week
Travelers hit town to battle in Doug Esh Tribute 10K to win event!

5/21/23

Mechanicsburg – Fans will get only one chance to see the All Stars Circuit of Champions Sprint Cars Series do battle at Williams Grove Speedway this season and that chance is coming up this Friday, May 26 at 7:30 pm.

Presented by HVAC Distributors Inc., the only appearance of the season by the All Stars at Williams Grove will be for the Hoosier Diamond Series Doug Esh Tribute Race, paying a cool $10,000 to win.

Esh’s career will be honored with a special pre-race show in the infield beginning just after gates open at 5:30 pm. The show will be broadcast on Beerhill Gang TV via Facebook.

After starting their history at the track back in 1970 when local Bobbie Adamson took a win for car owner Al Hamilton, it was 2019 until a bonafide touring All Star in the form of Aaron Reutzel was able to break into victory lane at Williams Grove Speedway for the first time.

All other shows had been won by the locals and only once since has an All Star, again as in Reutezel, taken a Williams Grove win.

Since September of 2020 when Reutzel last won, it has been only Williams Grove regulars or and independent scoring oval All Stars wins.

So how is the field shaping up for this one and only invasion of 2023 by the All Stars.

The series will again be led into the track by two-time and defending series champion Tyler Courtney of Indianapolis, Indiana.

Courtney is again atop the All Stars point standings this season with a win under his belt.

His closest pursuer in the points, Hunter Schuerenberg of Sikeston, Missouri., has also been to victory lane this season on the tour.

Other All Stars expected to invade include Parker Price-Miller, Chris Windom and Zeb Wise who has already proven he knows how to get around Williams Grove this season by picking up the 2023 oval opener in April.

These drivers will prove to be the All Stars best prospects for a win when they get to Williams Grove while the locals will pin their hopes on drivers like Lance Dewease, Anthony Macri, Brent Marks, Danny Dietirch and others.

So far this season at Williams Grove, six races have produced six different winners in the form of Zeb Wise, Lance Dewease, Brent Marks, Chase Dietz, Brad Sweet and most recently Freddie Rahmer.

Rahmer is the current Williams Grove point leader over Danny Dietrich.

All Stars winners at the track last season were Dietrich (2), Marks and Dewease.

The top five for the restart were Strickler, Arnold, Norris, Cole Young and Rudisill. Norris was all over Arnold on the restart. Anthony Macri was up to fifth with Moody vying for the spot.

Norris got under Arnold for second and Young followed sending Arnold back to fourth. Macri caught Arnold and worked the bottom of the track trying to take fourth as Norris closed in on Strickler. Norris took the lead at the line by a nose on lap 13 as they caught lapped traffic. Dylan was pulling away from the rest of the field as he worked his way through traffic. Young was reeling in Strickler when the two made contact in turn 2 causing Strickler to flip which brought out the red flag on lap 17.

Norris, Young, Arnold, Macri and Moody were the top five for the restart. Macri got up next to Arnold and took third coming out of turn 4. Macri got bit by the cushion in turn 2 allowing to retake fourth. Chase Dietz was working on Moody for fifth when Tyler Ross brought out the caution on lap 21 after he spun in turn 4. Zach Allman was also involved.

The top five for the final restart were Norris, Young, Arnold, Macri and Moody. Macri was all over Arnold but could not make the pass for third.

Norris crossed the line 3.755 seconds ahead of Young. Arnold was third and Macri finished fourth. Moody completed the top five.

Chad Criswell Kicks of MacMor Summer Series With a Win

The 2023 MacMor “Summer Series” for the 358 sprint cars kicked off at Lincoln Speedway on Saturday night and Chad Criswell took the win, his fourth career victory at Lincoln.

Pole-sitter, Chad Criswell, led the field into turn 1 with Chris Frank, Kyle Spence, David Holbrook and Jayden Wolf in tow. You could throw a blanket over second through fifth on the first lap. Frank pulled away and the rest of the top five fell into place.

Jayden Wolf brought out the caution on lap 3 as he sat backwards in turn 4. Wolf had been running fifth.

Criswell led Frank, Spence, Holbrook and Steve Owings to the cone for the single-file restart. Criswell pulled away when the green flag dropped.

The yellow flag flew again on lap 6 when Cody Fletcher fell off the pace on the back stretch.

There was no change in the top five for the restart and once again Criswell got a good jump. Spence looked under Frank for second and took the spot. Owings got under Holbrook coming out of turn 2 for fourth.

Criswell was all alone out front as he caught the tail end of the field on lap 11. Owings was up to third on lap 14 after getting by Frank.

Holbrook was all over Frank for fourth and took the spot down the back shoot on lap 17. Holbrook then got by Owings for third and went to work reeling in Spence. As Holbrook was closing in to challenge for second, Spence brought out the caution after stopping in turn 2 on lap 21.

Criswell, Holbrook, Owings, Frank and Doug Hammaker lined up at the front of the field for the restart. Kody Hartlaub looked to the inside of Hammaker on the restart for a spot in the top five but did not make the pass.

The yellow came out on the restart when Bo Gordon stopped in turn 1.

Criswell paced the field slowly on the restart. Hammaker got by Frank for fourth. Jordan Strickler flipped in turn 2 on lap 22 bringing out the red flag.

Criswell, Holbrook, Owings, Hammaker and Frank were the top five for the restart. Owings looked to the outside of Holbrook but could not make the pass. The yellow flag flew one final time on lap 23 when Chase Gutshall stopped at the exit of turn 2.

Criswell, Holbrook, Owings, Hammaker and Hartlaub made up the top five for the green, white, checkered finish.

Criswell got to the checkered flag 1.268 seconds ahead of Owings. Hammaker was third and Holbrook crossed the line fourth. Hartlaub finished fifth after starting eighteenth.

Rahmer Snaps Williams Grove Losing Streak, Gets First Win Since 2021

Hammaker snags 358s for first win since 2019

5/19/23

Mechanicsburg – Freddie Rahmer snapped a 39-race losing streak at Williams Grove Speedway on Friday night, taking victory in the $5,000 to win 410 sprint car main event.

His last win at the track came on July 16, 2021, with a different team.

His win on Friday night was his first at the oval for veteran driver turned car owner Rich Eichelberger of Dillsburg.

In the 358 sprint main it was Doug Hammaker taking his first win in the division since 2019.

Invader Justin Peck could lead only the first two laps of the 25-lap 410 sprint feature before third starter Rahmer made his presence known aboard the No. 8.

Rahmer tried a move to the outside of Peck in the third turn that didn’t pan out so he then turned the car to the inside and drove under Peck to take command at the line for the completion of lap three.

And once out front, Rahmer began to pull away before hitting traffic with 15 laps to go.

At first the backmarkers fell easily to Rahmer but as the laps wore on they became more challenging until Rahmer got bottled up trying to put the car of Jarrett Cavalet behind him.

This allowed Peck to close the gap considerably while Brent Marks and Lance Dewease battled for third.

Dewease took the spot using his patented low line just before the red flag appeared for Cavalet who slammed the inside wall at the end of the frontstretch before walking away from the crash.

The open track and clean air did wonders for Rahmer as he pulled away to the win on the restart to get the victory by 1.580 seconds.

“It’s been way too long,” Rahmer said in victory lane.

“It’s about time we got it done. The red at the end probably helped us.”

Dewease got Peck for second on lap 24.

Peck ended up third followed by Marks and Anthony Macri.

Sixth through 10th went to Danny Dietrich, Dylan Norris, Kyle Moody, Chase Dietz and Steve Buckwalter.

Buckwalter was the PA Dyno Hard Charger.

Heats went to Dewease, Rahmer and Dietrich.

Peck set overall quick time in warm-ups with a lap of 17.579 seconds.

Hammaker wired the field for the 20-lap 358 sprint car feature win.

Four yellow flags hampered the race but Hammaker was up to the test on each restart.

Chris Frank got by Zach Newlin for second on lap 14 for a career-best finish.

Newlin was third followed by Derek Locke and Tim Glatfelter.

Sixth through 10th went to Kody Hartlaub, Steve Owings, Scott Fisher, Jayden Wolfe and Cody Fletcher.

Fletcher was the PA Dyno Hard Charger.

Heats were taken by Newlin, Hammaker and Yost with Frankie Herr scoring the consolation.

Feature Finishes:

410 sprints, 25 laps: 1. Freddie Rahmer, 2. Lance Dewease, 3. Justin Peck, 4. Brent Marks, 5. Anthony Macri, 6. Danny Dietrich, 7. Dylan Norris, 8. Kyle Moody, 9. Chase Dietz, 10.

Port Royal Speedway

The World of Outlaws Case Construction Late Models will invade the Port Royal Speedway this Saturday night May 20th. The event will pay $15,000-to-win for the Super Late Model division. The Weikert’s Livestock 410 Sprints will join the show for $6,000-to-win as well and will take part in group time trials.

General admission will be $30, with student admission $20 and pit admission $40. Pit gates open at 4pm, while general admission gates open at 5. Racing is scheduled to kick off at 7pm.

The event will be the ninth visit of the World of Outlaws Late Model Series to the Speed Palace in series history. In 2007 Darrell Lanigan of Union, Ky., won the first event in series history at Port Royal. Clint Smith of Senoia, Ga., picked up the win in 2008, Brandon Sheppard of New Berlin, Ill., was the winner when the series reappeared in 2017, Mike Marlar of Winfield, Tenn., won the series event in 2018, regional hot shoe Mason Zeigler of Chalk Hill, Pa., was the series winner in 2019, and Chris Madden of Gray Court, S.C., swept a two-nightweekend in 2021 against the World of Outlaws Late Models.

Jared Miley was the most recent winner with the series at the track last season as he claimed a popular victory for the state of Pennsylvania for his first career Outlaw victory.

Rick Eckert is the current points leader at the Speedway with a 35-point advantage over Hayes Mattern. Jeff Rine, Dillan Stake and Colton Flinner make up the rest of the top five. Michael Norris was the most recent winner in the division at the Speedway and ironically, he did it in the same car Miley drove to victory last season against the Outlaws. As of early this week, 44 cars have committed to attending the event and kore are likely to attend.

Madden leads the current Outlaw point standings entering the weekend with an 18-point advantage over Kyle Bronson. Ryan Gustin, Brian Shirley and Sheppard make up the rest of the top five. Nick Hoffman, Bobby Pierce, Tanner English, Dennis Erb and Gordy Gundaker complete the top ten.

Regarding the Weikert’s Livestock 410 Sprint Cars, it’s Devon Borden on top of the point standings with a 40-points advantage over second-place Dylan Cisney. Jeff Halligan, Justin Whittall and Gerard McIntyre Jr make up the rest of the top five.

With the huge two-day Bob Weikert Memorial on tap for the division next weekend and an increased $6000 payday this weekend, you can expect many cars attending the event looking for track time and the extra dollars. In four total events held this season for the divisions, we’ve seen four different winners. Blane Heimbach was the most recent winner on May 6th.

Sweet Dominates To Win Night One Of Williams Grove Morgan Cup

5/12/23

Mechanicsburg – The Big Cat, Brad Sweet dominated Friday nights World of Outlaws sprint car feature at Williams Grove Speedway in the opening of Morgan Cup Weekend.

The Grass Valley, California, driver netted $10,000 for the victory that was just the second of his career at the oval.

The four-time and defending outlaws series champion, Sweet drew the pole for the dash and drove to victory in the six-lap match, earning the top starting spot for the 25-lap main.

Sweet took the lead at the start over second starter Rico Abreu and had built a straightaway advantage when his pace was first slowed with five laps down for a spun Sam Hafertepe Jr.

The restart saw Sweet keep the lead and again build a sizeable advantage over Abreu, stretching it to over two seconds by lap 12 as he raced up on the rear of the field.

And then just as he was ready to begin lapping cars, his way was cleared on lap 14 when a second caution flag appeared, this time for a slowing Brock Zearfoss.

Only two more laps could be spun off before yet another yellow flag brought the field back together again but Sweet was the class of the field when action resumed.

Action for second heated up on the restart as Brent Marks used a third turn blast underneath Abreu to snare the spot with eight laps to go.

He was never able to close on the leader however as Sweet took the win by 2.248 seconds.

Donny Schatz muscled third away from Abreu during the final few circuits.

Abreu was fourth at the finish followed by Anthony Macri.

Sixth through 10th went to David Gravel, Lance Dewease, Justin Peck, Carson Macedo and Logan Schuchart.

Heats went to Peck, Macedo, Abreu and Macri with Freddie Rahmer taking the B Main.

Sweet won the dash.

PASS Looks For Dry Bullring At Path
05-11-2023

Looking to square the balance sheet at four races run versus four rainouts, the River Valley Builders PA Sprint Series returns to Path Valley Speedway Saturday for its second try at running on the series’ oldest active track, where more than 200 feature races have run since 2000.

The 25th Anniversary PASS season has been slowed by rain, including a wet Saturday on April 15, when the series was supposed to have opened its 2023 season at the high-banked bullring that sits up against a mountain near Spring Run in northern Franklin County.

This weekend’s event is truly action-packed, with three full-sized open-wheel divisions – 358 sprint cars, wingless super sportsman cars, and the IMCA/RaceSaver/PASS sprinters – plus 270 and 600 micro sprints and 4- cylinder thunder cars. Gates will open at 4:00 p.m., with warm-ups starting at 6:00, and racing to follow.

Six PASS events were run at Path last season, with the now-departed three-time champion Garrett Bard of Wells Tannery winning half of them. The other three were won by Kruz Kepner of Kreamer, Scott Frack of Gilbertsville, and Doug Dodson of Middletown. Dodson and Kepner are expected to be in attendance, along with more than two dozen other racers.

Of the drivers entered as of early in the week, Dodson is the career wins leader with three. Other past winners expected include Donnie Hendershot of Clear Springs, Md., Mike Alleman of Port Royal (who grabbed his win 22 years ago), and Jeff Weaver of Lock Haven.

All those drivers should be considered contenders, along with Austin Reed of Etters, who finished runner-up twice and third once in four 2022 Path starts; Zach Rhodes of McVeytown, who had a runner-up finish and claimed his first RaceSaver win recently in a VA Sprint Series race; Paul Moyer of Beaver Springs, who came oh-so-close to his first win before falling to Bard in last season’s final race here, and Logan Spahr of Lewisberry, who has been unbeatable so far this season but had only a sixth as his best finish at Path in ’22.

By one count, this will be the 202nd PASS feature at Path Valley, which ran its first race for the series in August of 2000. In all likelihood, that count misses at least a couple of races from the years when PASS records are incomplete.

Adult general admission for Saturday’s action is just $10 ($3 for kids 10 and under). Pit admission is $30, plus a one-time $5 membership for first-time competitors.

Next Saturday, the River Valley Builders PASS tour will attempt a return to Selinsgrove Speedway.

Port Royal Speedway

- PORT ROYAL, Pa – (May 7, 2023)- Blane Heimbach charged forward from the ninth position to score a popular victory in Weikert’s Livestock 410 Sprint Car competition Saturday night.

The victory, worth $5300, came over Devon Borden, Jeff Halligan, Steve Buckwalter and Dylan Cisney. It was Heimbach’s 15th career triumph at the Speed Palace, which moved the Selinsgrove Sensation into a three-way tie with Bryan Osgood and John Dubendorf for 22nd on the all-time win list at the Speedway.

“quote”

Buckwalter and TJ Stutts lined up on the front row for the 25-lap A-main and the two were duking it out for the lead when racing was halted because of a scary four-car incident that saw Mike Wagner get upside down and Mark Smith go out over the guardrail. Bill Jones Jr. and Jake Karklin were involved in the accident as well and all drivers were ok.

When green-flag action returned to the track it was Buckwalter getting the jump coming out of turn two to lead the opening circuit over Stutts and Borden.

By lap three Heimbach had entered the top five and one lap later he used the bottom to move into fourth. Four laps later Buckwalter had caught the tail end of the field, while Stutts and Borden were duking it out for the runner-up spot behind him.

The fight for second became a three-car battle two laps later as Heimbach got by Borden for third. He then dispatched Stutts for the second spot on lap 11 and Borden followed suit to claim the final podium position one lap later.

The second caution of the event flew one lap later for debris in turn’s one and two, which allowed Heimbach to re-start on the tail of Buckwalter. Buckwalter held his ground in turn one and two following a return to racing action, but Heimbach capitalized in turn’s three and four to take the lead coming to the line with 12 laps to go.

Justin Whittall came to a slow on the backstretch the following lap to bring out the event’s final caution with 11 laps remaining. Not to be denied, Heimbach took off with ease on the restart. One lap later Borden ripped the lip of the Speedway to move into the runner-up position, while Halligan moved into fourth with nine to go.

Heimbach hit lapped traffic five laps later and Halligan continued his march to the podium moving into third with three laps to go. However, nobody had anything for Heimbach as he cruised home to victory.

Stutts, Austin Bishop, Logan Wagner, Derek Locke and Michael Walter II rounded out the top ten. Heimbach earned the night’s $500 Valley Supply Hard Charger Award, which brought his haul to a total of $5800 for the night, while 13th-place finisher Lucas Wolfe earned the night’s $1000 J&S Classics Warrior Award via random draw.

Michael Norris scored his second career victory in Selinsgrove Ford Super Late Model competition with a $4000 victory Saturday nightover Mason Zeigler, Rick Eckert, Hayes Mattern and Jeff Rine.

Rine and Zeigler lined up on the front row and it was Zeigler getting the early jump on the field to lead lap one over Norris, Rine, Donald Lingo Jr and Eckert.

It only took one lap for Norris to overtake Zeigler for the top spot as he got by for the lead exiting turn four. Eckert cracked the podium on the following lap, though neither he or Zeigler had anything for Norris.

Norris cruised home to the victory and looks to be a threat heading into a big World of Outlaws Late Model Series visit to the track in a few weeks.

FREDDIE RAHMER DOMINATES; Kody Hartlaub Makes it Two for Two

UPCOMING SCHEDULE:

Wednesday, May 10, 2023 (6:30PM) GETTYSBURG CLASH: World of Outlaws Sprint Cars

Saturday, May 27, 2023 (7PM) BOB LEIBY MEMORIAL: 410 Sprints, ARDC Midgets and Super Late Models (ARCH Night)

Abbottstown, PA (May 6, 2023) – Freddie Rahmer started the season off strong, winning two of the first three races at Lincoln. Rahmer found himself back in victory lane on Saturday night after nearly a month of rainouts to take home the $5,000 prize. With Saturday’s win, Rahmer has won four National Fallen Firefighters “Guise-Little Memorial” races in a row, “It’s a really good race we always look forward to.”

The night started with time trials with Rahmer going out last and putting down the fourth quickest lap, “We did a good job in time trials to position ourselves for the heat race. We have to take advantage of these time trial shows.” Freddie won his heat race putting him in the redraw for the feature line-up where he drew the pole. Rahmer took the green flag at the start of the race and never looked back, “I knew early I was making good time.” Rahmer won his third feature of the year by 9.276 seconds over Dylan Norris.

Dylan Norris set quick time to start off the night with a lap of 13.392 seconds. Freddie Rahmer drew the pole in the redraw with Cory Haas picking the two pill. Billy Dietrich, who drew the third starting spot, took the BAPS Auto Paints & Supply challenge which was $2,500 guaranteed to start at the rear of the 35-lap feature.

In his first appearance of the season, Cory Haas lined up to the outside of Rahmer. Rahmer jumped to the lead at the drop of the green flag with Haas in second and Norris in third. Norris was all over Haas for second and just as Haas was able to put some distance between himself and Norris the yellow came out on lap 3 for Alan Krimes who spun in turn 4.

Freddie led Haas, Norris, Danny Dietrich and Tim Glatfelter on the restart. Haas went low into turn 1 with Norris high and the two swapped lines in turns 3 and 4 allowing Norris to challenge for the runner up spot.

The yellow flag waved again on lap 4 when Aaron Bollinger fell off the pace on the front stretch. Norris looked to the outside of Haas on the restart with Haas hanging on to the spot.

Lap 6 saw the red flag come out when Chris Arnold spun in turn 4 and collected Brett Strickler who flipped.

Norris went to work again on Haas for second while Rahmer pulled away. Kyle Moody was up to fifth and was closing in on Danny.

Glenndon Forsythe, Tyler Esh and Jordan Givler got tangled together in turn 4 bringing out the caution on lap 10.

The top five for the restart were Freddie, Haas, Norris, Danny and Moody. Moody pressured Danny for fourth as they raced wheel to wheel down the back stretch. Moody took the spot at the line on lap 12. Norris finally got up beside Haas for second and made the pass on lap 13. Norris had a long way to go to challenge Rahmer for the lead. Moody went to work on Haas for third and Rahmer entered lapped traffic.

Danny caught Moody to try and regain fourth as they raced through lapped traffic. Dietrich got by Moody going into turn 1 and Troy Wagaman followed, sending Moody back to sixth. Danny got by Haas for third and again Wagaman followed. Moody and Haas battled for fifth as the laps wound down. Dietrich closed in on Norris with Wagaman in tow. Danny was all over Norris at the white flag.

Rahmer crossed the line more than 9 seconds ahead of Norris. Danny finished third and Wagaman was fourth. Moody completed the top five.

After taking the BAPS Auto Paints & Supply challenge of starting at the rear of the field, Billy Dietrich finished 14th and won the hard charger bonus.

Kody Hartlaub Makes it Two for Two

Pole sitter Cody Phillips took the lead when the green flag dropped but Kody Hartlaub led lap 1 after he passed Phillips coming out of turn 4.

Hanson in third Niki Young in fourth Hammaker in fifth

Jaremi Hanson was closing in on Phillips and the two battled for second down the back stretch. Doug Hammaker got by Niki Young for fourth and was closing in on Hanson and Phillips. Hanson moved up to second and Hammaker followed, sending Phillips back to fourth.

Justin Foster was off the pace on the front stretch bringing out the yellow on lap 8.

Hartlaub, Hammaker, Hanson, Phillips and Young made up the top five for the restart. Hammaker was running a higher line than Hartlaub and was able to stick with the leader. Young was battling Hanson for third and made the pass coming out of turn 2 to take the spot on lap 12. Hammaker slid Hartlaub for the lead but Kody took it back at the line. Hammaker was still all over Hartlaub with five laps to go as they closed in on lapped traffic. Hartlaub put a lapped car between him and Hammaker but it did not last for long with two laps to go.

The yellow flag flew on lap 19 when Chase Gutshall and Jordan Strickler got together in turn 4.

Hartlaub, Hammaker, Young, Hanson and Phillips lined up for a one-lap shoot-out. Hartlaub scored his second win in a row to make it two for two on the season . Hammaker finished second and Young was third. Hanson crossed the line fourth and Phillips completed the top five.

World Of Outlaws Morgan Cup Is This Weekend At Williams Grove

Two-day invasion spans May 12 & 13

5/7/23


Mechanicsburg – The H & N Landscaping World of Outlaws Morgan Cup is set for this Friday and Saturday, May 12 and 13 at Williams Grove Speedway.

The two-night stand by the outlaws series drivers will be the first match-up of the travelers versus the Pennsylvania Posse pilots of the season at the oval.

Friday will find the action culminating in a 25-lap main paying $10,000 to the winner.

And then Saturday’s Morgan Cup action will come to a close with a 30-lap feature paying $12,000 to win plus another $5,000 for Morgan Cup bragging rights.

Action both nights gets underway at 7:30 pm.

Saturday’s winner will be crowned Morgan Cup Champion, laying claim to the cup trophy for the year ahead as it makes its home either at outlaws headquarters in North Carolina or at the offices of Williams Grove Speedway in Pennsylvania.

The event’s namesake is that of former track owner, Morgan Hughes.

Last year in the Morgan Cup, Brent Marks took the win in the only show of the weekend that was completed thus keeping the cup at its Keystone State home.

Some 13 outlaws if not more should be in action for Morgan Cup weekend, led by drivers like point leader Brad Sweet, Carson Macedo and David Gravel.

Macedo of Lemoore, California, is always in the hunt when he comes to the Grove it seems as is four-time series winner to date, David Gravel of Watertown, Connecticut.

No driver has set himself up as king of the 2023 outlaws tour to date nor has any driver in regular Williams Grove competition.

All the top drivers in Williams Grove points are winless so far this season in oval action with track champions Danny Dietrich and Freddie Rahmer at the head of that list.

Four races at the track this season have produced four different winners.

A premier residential and commercial landscaping company in the region, H & N Landscaping will present the entire weekend of World of Outlaws/Pennsylvania Posse racing action.

Dietz Outruns Rahmer To Score 6K Williams Grove Payday In Outlaws Tune-up

Locke uses last turn move to get 358 victory

5/5/23

Mechanicsburg – Chase Dietz outran Freddie Rahmer to win the outlaw tune-up race for 410 sprint cars at Williams Grove Speedway on Friday night.

The York driver pocketed $6,000 for his third career division victory at the track.

In the 358 sprint main, Derek Locke used a last lap, last turn pass to steal the win away from Nash Ely.

Dietz and Dylan Norris shared the front row for the start of the 25-lap 410 sprint main and it was Norris that took control when action began.

His rapid pace was quickly slowed however on lap two when Dylan Cisney slowed.

The restart saw Norris jet away as Dietz fended off a Rahmer challenge for second and by lap eight Norris was working traffic on the lightning-fast track.

Norris nearly went for a ride in the first turn while trying to put Kody Lehman a lap down but averted disaster only to soon get bottled up by both Lehman and Jarrett Cavalet who were racing side by side for position.

This allowed Dietz to drastically close the gap on the leader but then another yellow flag on lap 13 slowed the paced and dramatically changed the event.

As Norris raced to stay out of harms way, the car of Cameron Smith got out of shape in turn two and Norris had no where to go, instead spinning his car.

At the same time, Dietz came upon the scene and somehow squeezed through the narrowest of gaps between the two lame racers to emerge on the backstretch with the lead.

The restart saw Dietz hold sway over Rahmer comfortably and with four laps to go the race again entered the rear of the field.

Dietz worked both lanes of the track with ease to put cars behind him and take the win by 1.621 seconds over Rahmer, Danny Dietrich, Jeff Halligan and TJ Stutts.

Sixth through 10th went to Tyler Ross, Chad Trout, Justin Whittall, Brandon Rahmer and Kyle Reinhardt.

Dietz became the fourth winner in as many races at the track this season as the stage is set for the May 12 and 13 World of Outlaws Morgan Cup weekend at Williams Grove.

Heats went to Stutts, Norris and Dietz with Dietz earning the pole by claiming the dash.

Halligan set quick time in qualifications, turning in a lap of 16.372 seconds.

The 358 sprint main saw polesitter Nash Ely lead the first 16 nonstop laps.

During the first several laps, fourth starter Chad Criswell challenged for the lead, taking second on the first circuit before zoning in on Ely.

But eventually Ely was able to break free of the competition as he raced for his first career victory at the oval.

Ely entered lapped traffic with 11 laps to go before Locke raced into second with nine loops remaining.

But with four laps to go, the only caution flag of the race appeared for the stopped car of George Streaker.

Ely maintained control on the restart, hitting his marks in the corners to thwart an attack by Locke but on the final tour the tables turned.

Locked got a great run off of the cushion in the second turn and then blasted to Ely’s outside in the third and fourth turns to steal the lead and win at the line.

Ely finished second followed by Kody Hartlaub, Doug Hammaker and Steve Owings.

Sixth through 10th went to Chad Criswell, Justin Foster, Kyle Keen, Frankie Herr and Jayden Wolfe.

Heats went to Hartlaub, Nat Tuckey and Justin Foster with Jaremi Hanson scoring the consolation race.

Let’s Stop The Rainouts
05-02-2023

This does NOT need to be the week to make history.

As the River Valley Builders PA Sprint Series celebrates its 25th year of competition, rainouts are definitely NOT among the elements of PASS history being celebrated, so with the current rainout streak having hit three in a row, it’s time for a change.

The PASS/IMCA/RaceSaver sprinters will make yet another attempt at running their third event of 2023 at Port Royal Speedway Saturday night. PASS is sponsored at the Port by Penns Valley Meat Market, which also presents the Hard Charger Award. The PASS racers will join the 410 sprints and late models for a 7:00 p.m. start on Ladies Night.

IF the weather cooperates.

It usually does, but there are precedents in PASS’s history for wet misery. The last time four straight races were rained out was 2018, starting the last weekend in April, when BAPS Motor Speedway, Port Royal, Selinsgrove Speedway, and BAPS again were washed out. (The Port race was run in June.)

About a dozen or so current PASS drivers were active during that wet streak.

In 2015, races were rained out over four consecutive weekends in June and July, but due to weekend doubleheaders and a weeknight race, three events were run in between the cancellations.

You have to go all the way back to May and June of 2010 to find another dismal streak of four rainouts in a row. Williams Grove, Path Valley, Port Royal and Path Valley again were affected then, plus, after a race was run on Friday night of the next weekend, another Saturday night race was cancelled, almost extending the streak to five straight.

Please, no.

Assuming the best, the plotline for Saturday will be whether Logan Spahr of Lewisberry can extend his winning streak to three straight for 2023 or four straight dating back to last October’s Keystone RaceSaver Challenge. While Spahr wasn’t involved with PASS back in 2018, his car owner, Wally Eshenour, was a semi-regular on the tour and suffered from that previous wet streak.

A healthy turnout of sprinters can be expected for the race, including likely challengers Seth Schnoke of Pine Grove (runner-up to Spahr in both races this season), and Ken Duke Jr. of Selinsgrove (two top-5s and two-time PASS champion). Austin Reed of Etters (2022 points runner-up), Timmy Bittner of Beech Creek, Dylan Shatzer of Hagerstown, Md., and Zach Rhodes of McVeytown, all have top-5 finishes in 2023 as well.

Run in honor of former track owner Morgan Hughes, Saturday night’s event will go 30 laps for a $12,000 payday plus another $5,000 for Morgan Cup bragging rights.

Friday’s main will be 25 laps in distance and pay the winner $10,000.

Last year in the Morgan Cup, Brent Marks took the win in the only show of the weekend that was completed.

His win meant that the Morgan Cup trophy itself would again find its way back home to the offices of Williams Grove Speedway, where it has taken up residence until this season when the home of the trophy is again decided with another running of the contest.

An outlaws win in the Morgan Cup this time around would mean that the trophy will trek southwards for a year to take up residence at circuit headquarters in North Carolina.

California’s Carson Macedo is the current outlaws point leader, holding sway over David Gravel and Brad Sweet.

Gravel has the most wins on the tour to date with four under his belt.

Freddie Rahmer is the current Williams Grove point leader.

Action both nights of the 2023 Morgan Cup weekend gets underway at 7:30 pm.

Adult general admission for May 12 is $30 with students ages 13-20 admitted for just $15.

410 Sprints And URC 360/358 Sprint Challenge At Williams Grove Friday

4/23/23

Mechanicsburg – The Lawrence Chevrolet 410 sprint cars and the URC Sprint Series will be in action at Williams Grove Speedway coming up this Friday, April 28 at 7:30 pm.

For the popular URC 360 sprints, the event will be a challenge race with the regular Williams Grove HJ Towing & Recovery 358 sprint cars.

The 410 sprints will race for $5,500 to win.

The URC 360/358 sprints will race for a purse offering $2,000 to win and $200 to start.

Both main events will be 25 laps in distance.

Josh Weller was victorious in URC action at the track last season.

URC history at the track dates back to 1948 when Lucky Lux took a win.

In recent history, at least a few of the Williams Grove 410 sprint drivers usually choose to compete in both classes when the 360s are in action.

And the decision has proven a good one over the years with pilots like Anthony Macri, Steve Buckwalter, Mark Smith and the late Greg Hodnett picking up checkered flags among others.

Devon Borden is one such driver that will be pulling double duty this time around. Lucas Wolfe is also a possibility.

In 410 sprint action at the track this year so far, three exciting races have produced three different winners in the form of Zeb Wise, Lance Dewease and Brent Marks most recently.

The 358 sprints opened their season at Williams Grove on April 7 when Cody Fletcher scored his first-ever oval victory.

May 5 will feature another 410 sprint and 358 sprint doubleheader at Williams Grove as the 410s compete in a Hoosier Diamond Series World of Outlaws Tune Up race.

Adult general admission for April 28 is $20 with students ages 13-20 admitted for just $10.

Kids ages 12 and under are always free at Williams Grove Speedway.

Marks Overcomes To Win Williams Grove Tommy Classic 8K

Myerstown Missile gets second win in a row in oval event

4/21/23

Mechanicsburg – Brent Marks overcame adversity and went on to win the Tommy Classic for sprint cars at Williams Grove Speedway on Friday night, taking the checkers worth $8,000.

It was Marks’ second win in a row in the event after scoring the 2022 version as well.

In the street stock main, Kody Sites scored the stock car victory to close the night.

Marks’ bid for a second straight win in the Tommy Hinnershitz Classic seemed doomed from the first lap when the front wing on his No. 19M collapsed on the left side.

At the same time, polesitter Justin Peck took command of the 30-lap event and began speeding away with Marks in second and Anthony Macri racing in third.

Peck entered lapped traffic on the eighth tour before the first caution flag of the race appeared with 10 laps down for a spin by Kyle Moody.

Peck got a great restart and drove off from the field while Macri took second from Marks with a low move in the first and second turns.

The leader then again hit the rear of the field on lap 17 and began putting cars a lap down.

Darting through traffic, Peck’s No. 13 seemed to be cornering on rails as he cruised the cushion with conviction but then disaster struck with 10 laps to go when smoke began pouring from his mount.

And with that, Peck’s bid for the victory ended as he coasted to a stop, handing the lead over to Macri.

However, Macri’s run with the lead would be short lived as the restart saw Marks surprise many when he darted to the leader’s inside.

A half lap later in the third turn he completed the move with a deep blast under Macri that would end with a slider that netted control and the eventual win by 1.957 seconds.

It was the 16th win of Marks’ career at Williams Grove.

“I knew if I cold get far enough beside him I could complete the pass,” Marks said of his turn three swoop for the lead.

With under two laps to go Danny Dietrich and Lance Dewease took advantage of a Macri slip-up on the cushion to take the second and third spots for the finish.

Macri recovered for fourth with Kyle Reinhardt finishing in fifth spot.

Sixth through 10th went to Dylan Cisney, Chase Dietz, TJ Stutts, Freddie Rahmer and Lucas Wolfe.

Rahmer was the PA Dyno Hard Charger after starting the race in 18th spot.

Heats went to Reinhardt, Macri and Dietrich with Sye Lynch taking the consolation race.

Peck set fast time with a lap of 17.081 seconds.

Kody Sites took the lead from Aaron Beard on lap seven of the 20-lap street stock feature before going on to the win.

Brian Walls led the first four laps before pulling pitside.

Sam Rial was second in the feature with Beard third followed by Bobby Meixsell and Russ Shoop.

Heats were won by Walls and Sites.

Feature Finishes:

410 sprints, 30 laps: 1. Brent Marks, 2. Danny Dietrich, 3. Lance Dewease, 4. Anthony Macri, 5. Kyle Reinhardt, 6. Dylan Cisney, 7. Chase Dietz, 8. TJ Stutts, 9. Freddie Rahmer, 10. Lucas Wolfe, 11.

Hinnershitz Legacy Honored Friday At Williams Grove

4/16/23

Mechanicsburg – Friday’s sprint car show at Williams Grove Speedway will honor its original winner. He was the first. He had one of the most recognizable names in motorsports history dating back to the 1930s.

On tap at Williams Grove on Friday will be the annual Tommy Hinnershitz Memorial Spring Classic, honoring the late, great racer from Oley that holds the distinction of winning the first ever race held at the brand new Williams Grove Speedway back on Sunday, May 21, 1939.

Hinnershitz won the race in what was called a “hard and heady” event to best the famed Joie Chitwood.

Hinnershitz’s death in 1999 left behind an auto-racing legacy worthy of note by any standards.

During his 30-year career spanning 1930-1960, “The Fying Dutchman,” as he was known, amassed seven AAA/USAC Eastern Big Car Championships, taking titles in 1949, 1950, 1951, 1952, 1955, 1956 and in 1959.

He had garnered 103 total AAA/USAC feature wins with 19 taking place at Williams Grove.
Hinnershitz set 43 AAA track records during his tenure and would compete in three Indianapolis 500s.

At the time of his death, the 87-year old was ranked second behind Steve Kinser on the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame’s Top Sprint Car Drivers of All Time list.

Back in 1939, when Hinnershitz passed Chitwood for the lead in that maiden race at Williams Grove, the duel was billed as “one of the most thrilling bits of driving ever witnessed on a Pennsylvania speedway.”

It was said that when Hinnershitz passed Chitwood, “the Big Chief was met with acclaim from the crowd.”

And Williams Grove will bestow even more worthy acclaim in the Big Chief’s honor this Friday night.

Adult general admission for the April 21 racing program is set at $25 with students ages 13-20 admitted for just $10.

Kids ages 12 and under are always admitted for FREE at Williams Grove Speedway.

Dewease, Bright And Spahr Win Spring Sprint Special Williams Grove Mains

4/14/23

Mechanicsburg – Lance Dewease won for the 112th time in his sprint car career at Williams Grove Speedway on Friday night, outracing Danny Dietrich for a $5,500 victory.

Dewease’s win came in one of three sprint features on the night as part of the Spring Sprint Special at the oval where Alex Bright also won in the USAC East 360 sprint feature and Logan Spahr took the win in 305 sprints.

The 25-lap 410 sprint main went non stop with both Dewease and Dietrich lining up on the front row for the start.

Dietrich kept leader Dewease within sight during the early going before the pair entered the rear of the field with 15 laps to go.

Dietirch took his first jab at the leader on lap 13 but came up short and then a lap later he tried the move again deep in the third turn.

The Gettysburg pilot shot under Dewease and slid up to the cushion to briefly take control before Dewease turned his car to the low side and shot back by to regain command.

And the next time around, with Dietrich lurking, Dewease slammed the door as the pair shot into the third turn to again keep his challenger at bay.

With five laps to go Dietrich was still hounding the leader but a flawless drive by Dewease through traffic served to keep him out front as Dietrich tried to work the cushion.

Dewease took the checkers at the finish with a 1.393 second lead over Dietrich with Freddie Rahmer coming home third followed by Kyle Reinhardt and Devon Borden.

Borden originally crossed the finish line in third but was penalized two spots the finish for a jump on the initial start.

Sixth through 10th went to Austin Bishop TJ Stutts, Dylan Cisney, Lucas Wolfe and Steve Buckwalter.

Heats went to Troy Wagaman Jr. and TJ Stutts.

Kyle Moody was the PA Dyno Hard Charger, advancing from 20th to 11th.

Alex Bright wired the field for the 20-lap win in the USAC East 360 sprint main.

It was Bright’s third win in a row at the track in the division dating back to last season.

Briggs Danner started sixth in the field and motored into second with three laps to go.

The defending series champion, Danner took the lead from Bright with a huge slide job in the first turn on the final lpa only to watch as Bright dropped off of the cushion and muscled back into the lead on the backchute before taking the victory by .707 seconds.

Bobby Butler was third followed by Christian Bruno and Steve Snyder Jr.

Heats went to Butler, Bruno and Snyder with Billy Ney taking the consolation race.

Fourth starter Logan Spahr swept into the lead on the first lap of the 20-lap 305 sprint main and never looked back on his way to the win.

His pace was slowed by four yellow flags throughout but no one was able to challenge him for control.

Seth Schnoke raced into second behind Spahr with four laps to go.

Tommy Bittner, who ran second until Schnoke took the spot, finished third in the field.

Ken Duke Jr. was fourth and Austin Reed finished the race in fifth.

Heats went to Dustin Young, Johnny Scarborough and Kurz Kepner.

Devon Borden, Gregg Satterlee and Logan Spahr Celebrate Easter with Port Royal Wins

By- Justin Snyder

Port Royal Speedway – PORT ROYAL, Penn (April 9, 2023)- Devon Borden outlasted Lance Dewease in a back-and-forth jockeying of position that lasted multiple laps to score his third career Weikert’s Livestock 410 Sprint Car feature win at the Port Royal Speedway on Saturday night.

Zeb Wise, Dylan Cisney and Mike Wagner completed the rest of the top five. The win was worth $5000 for Borden and makes him the third different winner in three events this season for the 410 Sprint Cars at the Juniata County oval.

Justin Whittall and Borden lined up on the front row for the 25-lap event and it was Whittall getting the early jump on the field. Dewease, who started fourth on the grid, slid into the runner-up position on the opening lap followed by Borden, Kyle Reinhardt, and Austin Bishop.

Ninth-place starter Wise, who was following up a victory the night prior at Williams Grove Speedway, was up to sixth by lap seven, while Whittall was setting sail out front of the field.

Whittall hit lapped traffic one lap later and while trying to make a move on the cars exiting turn four with 16 laps to go, he got into the outside guardrail. This put both Dewease and Borden right on his tail tank coming to the line.

The three drivers raced nearly three-wide coming through turn’s three and four on the following circuit and Dewease was able to edge ahead by inches coming to the line to lead lap 10. It only took one more turn for Borden to get by Whittell as well for the runner-up spot and the young gun set his sights on Dewease for the lead.

Three laps later Borden tried a slide job in turn’s three and four on Dewease for the lead, but Dewease was able to inch back ahead coming to the line to re-take the lead.

However, Borden had a head of steam coming through turn’s one and two and was able to overtake Dewease down the backstretch to lead for the first time with 10 laps remaining.
Borden now had lappers to deal with and he struggled to dispense the car of Scotty Theil over the next two laps. He bobbled slightly coming out of turn two and it allowed Dewease to close and take back the lead exiting turn four with eight laps remaining.

Borden was able to regroup on the following lap and with another head of steam he got back by Dewease for the top spot for good. Dewease got one more opportunity on the final circuit as Borden again struggled with lappers. However, the last-ditch move came up just short as Borden came home to the checkered flag.

Whittall, Bishop, Reinhardt, Gerard McIntyre Jr and Mike Walter II completed the top ten. Walter earned the J&S Classics $1000 Warrior Award via random draw, while Wagner scored the $500 Valley Supply Hard Charger Award after advancing 11 positions in the feature.

Results- 1. Devon Borden, 2. Lance Dewease, 3. Zeb Wise, 4. Dylan Cisney, 5. Mike Wagner, 6. Justin Whittall, 7. Austin Bishop, 8. Kyle Reinhardt, 9. Gerard McIntyre Jr, 10. Mike Walter II, 11.

Gregg Satterlee capitalized on a front-row starting spot to capture his 16th career Selinsgrove Ford Super Late Model victory and first of the season. Opening day winner Dillan Stake finished second, followed by Rick Eckert, Hayes Mattern and Mason Zeigler completing the top five.

Jeff Rine and Satterlee lined up on the front row and it was Satterlee getting the quick jump and taking the lead on the opening lap. Stake settled into second from his third starting spot, with Rine in third.

Eckert, who started fifth for the 25-lap A-main, cracked the podium for the first time on lap 11. Satterlee hit lapped traffic one lap later, but the veteran diced in and out of the cars with ease on his way to victory.

The win, worth $4000, moved Satterlee into a tie with Chris Shuey for 16th on the all-time win list at the Speedway in the division.

Dylan Yoder, Rine, Andrew Yoder, Drake Troutman and Kyle Lee made up the rest of the top ten. Lee, who started 19th, was the evening’s hard charger as well.

Abbottstown, PA (April 8, 2023) – Kyle Moody’s last trip to victory lane at Lincoln Speedway came on August 3, 2019 and 1,345 days later he found himself back on the front stretch in the pigeon hills for career win number 5. Moody has shown speed early this season in the #99m and the first thing he shared in victory lane was a testament to how good his car was, “Man this car was fast tonight.”

Moody was handicapped to start eighth in the 30-lap feature after driving from sixth to second in his heat race, “I didn’t mind starting on the outside this car the last couple of races has just launched on these starts. We’ve been really good passing cars right off the get go.”

Moody was up to third by lap 6 got by Michael Millard for second on lap 12 with a slider in turns 1 and 2. After taking the lead on lap 19 the caution came out on lap 21 as Chase Dietz had caught Moody to challenge for the lead, “I wasn’t sure if I wanted that caution or not because I knew I was carrying a pretty good pace. I did see his (Dietz) nose there right before the caution.”

Dietz made one last attempt at the top spot on the final lap but Moody held him off for the win and to take home the $4,000 prize.

Prior to the green Dylan Norris and Tim Wagaman both went to the work area. Dylan did not come back out which allowed the alternate starter, Domenic Melair, to tag the rear for the start behind Wagaman who was able to change their flat tire for the start of the 30-lap feature.

Glenndon Forsythe got to turns 1 and 2 ahead of pole-sitter Michael Millard but Matt Campbell crashed down the back stretch bringing out the red.

The field lined up for a complete restart and this time Millard got to turns 1 and 2 first, with Forsythe in second and Cole Young third.

Billy Dietrich got under Trey Hivner for fourth. Kyle Moody followed to take fifth from Hivner. The red flag came out again on lap 4 for Tyler Esh in turn 2 on lap 4.

Millard led Forsythe, Young, Billy and Moody on the restart. Millard drove through the middle with Forsythe opting for the bottom. The top two raced wheel to wheel at the line with Millard holding the lead. Forsythe took the top spot from Millard coming out of turn 4 on lap 6. Moody was up to third and with Billy working on Young for fourth.

Forsythe was pulling away from the field with Young still fending off Billy’s challenge for fourth. Moody caught Millard and took second with a slider in turns 1 and 2 on lap 12. Billy got by Young for fourth and followed Moody past Millard to move into third.

Moody went to work reeling in Forsythe. Meanwhile Chase Dietz had raced his way to fourth. Moody took the lead coming out of turn 2 on lap 19. A four car race for the lead ensued between Moody, Forsythe, Billy and Dietz. Dietz got under Billy for third and then shot by Forsythe in the same lap to move up to second. Dietz used the bottom of the track to stay right on Moody’s tail tank.

The yellow flag flew on lap 21 for Millard and Freddie Rahmer coming out of turn 4. Moody, Dietz, Billy, Forsythe and Chad Trout made up the top five for the restart. Moody paced the field slowly on the restart which ended up working well for him. Trout got under Forsythe for fourth and Danny Dietrich made his way into the top five after getting by Glenndon.

Dietz made one last effort to pass Moody on the last lap but to no avail. Moody got to the checkered flag .583 seconds ahead of Dietz. Billy crossed the line third and Trout was fourth. Danny completed the top five.

Kody Hartlaub Scores 358 Sprint Season Opener Victory

After their original season opening date got rained out last week, 29 H & N Landscaping 358 sprint cars were on hand Saturday night for the first race of the season.

Pole-sitter Frankie Herr took the lead when the green flag dropped on the 20-lap feature. Kody Hartlaub and Nash Ely raced side by side into turns 1 and 2 behind Herr for second and third.

Hartlaub took the lead with a pass in turns 1 and 2 on lap 4 and never looked back.

Hartlaub was approaching heavy lapped traffic when the yellow flag flew on lap 9 for Kyle Ganoe who had stopped on the back stretch.

Hartlaub led Herr, Ely, Doug Hammaker and Hayden Miller on the restart. Hammaker went to the outside of Ely for third on the restart but was not able to complete the pass.

Joe Trone Jr and Nick Yinger got tangled on the front stretch bringing out the red on lap 10.

Hartlaub, Herr, Ely, Hammaker and Niki Young made up the top five for the restart. Hammaker went to the outside of Ely again and this time took third on the restart. Ely tried to return the favor but Hammaker held the spot.

Steve Owings got by Young to enter into the top five. Hartlaub found himself back in lapped traffic with three laps to go but it did not slow him down. Hartlaub crossed the line 2.039 seconds ahead of Herr for his second career win at Lincoln. Hammaker finished third and Ely was fourth. Owings completed the top five.

Next Saturday, April 15, Lincoln Speedway is back in action with the 410 sprint cars and 358 sprint cars. Racing starts at 6PM with pit gates opening at 3:30PM and grandstand gates opening at 4PM.

Zeb Wise Upsets Williams Grove Opener Field With Exciting Performance

Fletcher name returns to Grove victory lane with 358 sprint win

4/7/23

Mechanicsburg – The one month delay to get the 2023 season opener in the books at Williams Grove Speedway was well worth the wait as both sprint car divisions turned in exciting main events on Friday night with invader Zeb Wise scoring the upset victory in the 410 division.

In the 358 sprint main, long-time campaigner Cody Fletcher returned the Fletcher name to oval victory lane for his first ever track checkers.

The start of the 25-lap, 410 sprint feature was slowed when polesitter Danny Dietrich bit the inside turn four rail when green appeared, causing a flat front tire.

Dietrich would tag the rear for a new start while Freddie Rahmer took control off of the front row.

Anthony Macri and Zeb Wise of Angola, Indiana, trailed on the first lap.

The leaders were just about to enter traffic when Lance Dewease forced a caution period on the seventh tour after spinning in the second corner while running sixth.

The restart saw Rahmer race safely outside of Macri’s grasp still with Wise in tow before the front trio again raced up on and into the rear of the field with 10 laps to go.

Macri then began making time on the leader while blasting the top side in the first and second turns and by lap 17 the leaders were under a blanket racing through traffic.

Macri took a stab at snaring the top spot with an attempted flyer in the third and fourth turns with six laps to go only to bounce back away from Rahmer when he couldn’t complete the pass.

The next time around, Macri was able to muscle in front of Rahmer as the pair set their cars into the third turn but when Macri tried to hold Rahmer down to the inside groove, both drivers ended up sliding up across the racetrack and Zeb Wise was able to sneak by and lead lap 20.

However Macri went deep in turn for the next time around to take control from Wise and secure what he might of thought was the win.

But Wise simply would not let up and he hung with the leader the next three laps before seizing his opportunity on the final tour.

When Macri went high through the first and second corner, Wise blasted low into the turns and as a lapped car held up Macri the door was open for Indiana’s Wise.

And with that, the 20-year old bit fast and drove through the opening to get control and the upset win although Macri did his best coming off of turn four to the checkers to reclaim the point.

“Well holy shit, I can’t believe we just won at the Grove,” Wise proclaimed from the winner’s circle.

“I felt like I had the best car for the entire race. The whole race I stuck to the bottom in one and two,” he said.

“This is really rewarding to our whole entire team.”

Wise took the $5,000 victory by .182 seconds over Macri with Rahmer riding home in third and he picked up a $500 bonus thanks to the WC Eshenaur last lap pass award.

Chase Dietz was fourth and Devon Borden finished fifth.

Sixth through 10th went to Tyler Ross, TJ Stutts, Brandon Rahmer, Kyle Reinhardt and Kyle Moody.

Heats went to Dietz, Borden and Wise with Sean Rayhall taking the consolation.

TJ Stutts lowered the track record in qualifications with a lap of 16.089 seconds.

Lucas Wolfe was the PA Dyno Hard Charger in the main event.

In the 20-lap 358 sprint feature, polesitter Chase Gutshall led the first four circuits before Kody Hartlaub would race into the lead.

The only caution flag of the race unfuled with 11 laps to go for a stopped Tyler Rutherford.

The restart saw Cody Fletcher and three time, defending track champion Derek Locke chasing the leader.

Fletcher pulled the trigger when action resumed with a low move in the first corner.

Hartlaub then went to work trying to reclaim the point by working the top lanes.

However at the same time Locke was working the lowside on Hartlaub before finally taking the spot on lap 19.

This allowed Locke to run up on Fletcher for the win but he fell short at the finish.

Hartlaub would end up third followed by Devon Borden and Steve Owings.

Sixth through 10th went to Gutshall, Scott Fisher, Chad Criswell, Nash Ely and Doug Hammaker.

Heats were taken by Fletcher, Owings and Creswell with Chris Frank scoring the consolation.

Jay Galloway was the PA Dyno Hard Charger.

Yellow Breeches Format Altered For Williams Grove Opener Friday A reminder to teams regarding tire usage

4/4/23

Mechanicsburg – Williams Grove Speedway will open the season on Friday night with a Yellow Breeches 500 race for the 410 sprint cars.

Customarily in Yellow Breeches races, cars that transfer to the feature from the heat races are handicapped into the A Main lineup based on each drivers earning’s average on the year to date.

However given that this week’s race is also the season opener and there have been no earnings, a slightly different process for lining up the main will be in place, as follows:

If two HEAT RACES (up to 20 Cars) are run, the top four heat finishers will advance into an inversion draw with the first heat winner drawing from an inversion possibility of 1, 2, 4, 6, or 8.

If three HEAT RACES (up to 30 cars) are run, the top three heat finishers will advance into an inversion draw with the first heat winner drawing from an inversion possibility of 1, 3, 6, or 9.

If four HEAT RACES (31-36 cars) are run, the top three heat finishers will advance into an inversion draw with the first heat winner drawing from an inversion possibility of 1, 4, 8, or 12.

The balance of the A-Main cars will be lined up based on heat race finish, behind any inverted cars. The B Main will be lined up based on heat race finish. B Main qualifiers will line up in the feature based on B Main finishing position.

The 410 sprint car teams are reminded that this week, April 7, only the new Hoosier D Series compound left rear tires and D15A and Medium right rear tires are permitted for use.

The same tires will again be mandated for the Tommy Classic on April 21.

Races on both April 14 and 28 will find both the old H Series and/or new D Series tire compounds permitted for use on both the left and right rears in an effort to allow teams to use up any old tire stock that may be in their inventories.

Beginning on May 5 and through the balance of the season, only the new Hoosier D Series compounds will be permitted.

With special thanks to Pioneer Pole Buildings, an additional $4,000 bonus is posted to any driver that sweeps the show making the 50 lap win worth $12,000.

Lucas Wolfe Uses Late-Race Restart to Win Sprint Car A-Main. Drake Troutman and Devin Hart take Late Model Checkers

By- Justin Snyder

Port Royal Speedway- PORT ROYAL, Penn (April 2, 2023)- Lucas Wolfe capitalized on a two- lap restart to score his first Weikert's Livestock 410 Sprint Car win of the season at Port Royal Speedway over Danny Dietrich, Gerard McIntyre Jr., Anthony Macri and Logan Wagner.

The win was worth $5000 for Wolfe and was the 13th of his career at the Juniata County oval. It moved into a tie for 30th on the all-time win list at the track with Barry Camp, Chad Layton, Mike Wagner and Stevie Smith.

“It’s obviously been a good bit for me here and this is my first time in this specific victory lane, so I’m pretty happy,” said Wolfe. “I’ve got to thank all the people who have stuck with me and keep working with me and hopefully we can be here more.”

AJ Flick and Jason Schultz lined up from the front row of the 25-lap A-main event and it was Schultz getting the quick jump on the field.

10th-place starter, Logan Wagner was making himself known early in the event as he was up to sixth by the completion of lap five. Three laps later he cracked the top five, while Schultz was in control up front.

One lap later Schultz hit lapped traffic and three laps later McIntyre had closed to the tail tank of the leader down the backstretch.

Dietrich, who started sixth on the grid, was in third and with 11 laps remaining the podium drivers were all under a blanket coming to the flag stand.

Dietrich got by McIntyre Jr for the runner-up spot exiting turn four on the following lap and he set his sights on Schultz up front.
Wolfe and Wagner swapped the fourth position with nine laps to go and seeing the five-time defending track champion on the prowl gave Wolfe the knowledge he needed to move forward.

“Logan showed me his nose there and I knew I kind of had to get going,” said Wolfe. “He made me have to kind of start searching and it seemed like the car just really came to me.”

With five laps remaining Dietrich made his move on the leader as he pulled a Hail Mary slider in turn’s one and two, but on the slick daytime surface, he was unable to hold the spot and Schultz regained the lead.

One lap later Wolfe dispatched of McIntyre for the final podium spot, while the top two were duking it out in front of him.

Wolfe appeared to overtake Dietrich for second with two laps later, but the caution came out when Schultz came to a slow while leading with a flat right-rear tire. Not only did it end Schultz’s storybook night, but it gave the lead to Dietrich and negated Wolfe’s pass.

However, when the green-flag waved for the two-lap dash, Wolfe wasted no time as he slipped under Dietrich for the lead exiting turn two and the Mechanicsburg native never looked back.

Devon Borden, Flick, Kody Lehman, Justin Whittall and Mike Walter II completes the rest of the top ten. 12th-place finisher TJ Stutts earned the $1000 J&S Classics Warrior Award via random draw, while 11th-place finisher Jeff Halligan earned the $500 Valley Supply Hard Charger Award after starting 18th on the grid.

Results-1. Lucas Wolfe, 2. Danny Dietrich, 3. Gerard McIntyre Jr, 4. Anthony Macri, 5. Logan Wagner, 6. Devon Borden, 7. AJ Flick, 8. Kody Lehman, 9. Justin Whittall, 10. Mike Walter II, 11. Jeff Halligan, 12. TJ Stutts, 13. Steve Buckwalter, 14. Blane Heimbach, 15. Mike Wagner, 16. Dylan Cisney, 17. JJ Hickle, 18. Austin Bishop, 19. Garrett Bard, 20. Jarrett Cavalet, 21. Jason Schultz, 22. Jake Karklin, 23. Kassidy Kreitz, 24. Rick Lafferty

Drake Troutman went start to finish as he led all 25 laps of the Selinsgrove Ford Super Late Model feature to score his first career victory at the Port Royal Speedway. Dylan Yoder went sixth to second, followed by Gregg Satterlee, Rick Eckert and Trever Feathers.

Jeff Rine, Colton Flinner, Hayes Mattern, Andrew Yoder and Gary Stuhler completed the top ten.

“This is huge for sure and it’s our first night out on a Longhorn Chassis,” said Troutman. “This is pretty special to get this win and hopefully we can keep the momentum going.”

The win was worth $4000 for Troutman.

Results- 1. Drake Troutman, 2. Dylan Yoder, 3. Gregg Satterlee, 4. Rick Eckert, 5. Trever Feathers, 6. Jeff Rine, 7. Colton Flinner, 8. Hayes Mattern, 9. Andrew Yoder, 10. Gary Stuhler, 11. Jason Schmidt, 12. Mike Lupfer, 13. Scott Flickinger, 14. Chad Myers, 15. Tim Wilson, 16. Shaun Jones, 17. Colin Knaub, 18. Nick Dickson, 19. Dillan Stake, 20. Austin Berry, 21. Justin Weaver, 22. Jim Yoder, 23. Justin Kann, 24. Tylor Emory

Devan Hart started second on the grid for the Dack’s Trucking Limited Late Model feature event and he’d go on the score the victory worth $1500 over Shawn Shoemaker, Taylor Farling, Trent Brenneman and Ryan Zook.

Hart held off a last lap attempt from Shoemaker to score the victory, which was his 10th career in the division at the track.
Casey Steinhoff, JR Toner, Eric Irvin, Matt Murphy and Chase Bowsman made up the rest of the top ten. 11th-place finisher Maddox Smith earned the night’s $150 River Valley Builders Hard Charger Award.

“The track was tough to race on with the conditions, but I think me and everybody else in the pit area were just happy to get the racing season started,” said Hart. “We were not really good in the heat, but honestly, we got pretty good in the feature. The laps cars had me worried a bit late, but we were able to make it to the end and I just got to thank my guys.”

Results- 1. Devin Hart, 2. Shawn Shoemaker, 3.Taylor Farling, 4. Trent Brenneman, 5. Ryan Zook, 6. Casey Steinhoff, 7. JR Toner, 8. Eric Irvin, 9. Matt Murphy, 10. Chase Bowsman, 11. Maddox Smith, 12. Cayden Ranck, 13. Chad Smith, 14. Jake Moser, 15. Jaxton Garman, 16. Kenny Yoder, 17. Shaun Miller, 18. Eddie Cornett, 19. Harold Ranck, 20. Jared Fulkroad

LINCOLN SPEEDWAY

Abbottstown, PA

CHASE DIETZ WIRES FIELD FOR FIRST WIN WITH NEW TEAM; Tanner Jones Scores Win in Lincoln Speedway Debut

UPCOMING SCHEDULE:

Saturday, April 1, 2023 (6PM) 410 Sprints + 358 Sprints

Saturday, April 8, 2023 (6PM) HANOVER CONCRETE NIGHT: 410 Sprints + 358 Sprints [Easter Egg Hunt & Big Wheel Races]

Saturday, April 15, 2023 (6PM) GOLF CART SERVICES NIGHT: 410 Sprints + 358 Sprints

Abbottstown, PA (March 25, 2023) – Chase Dietz and his new team have had a rough start to the 2023 season, but all of that changed on Saturday night at Lincoln with Dietz scoring a win to turn things around, “Glad to be able to do it, especially with the new team built. Pretty damn cool to get the first one out of the way this early in the season.”

Dietz started the night with a spin in hot laps but would win his heat and then lead every lap of the 30-lap feature on his way to a $4,000 payday. Despite leading wire to wire, it was not a walk in the park win for Chase. It took six tries to get a lap in the books, which included a fuel stop, “The workouts over the winter and staying in shape as much as possible definitely helped on this kind of deal.” Dietz also had an issue with the car during the feature, “I lost my brakes when Scott Fisher stopped. They seemed to come back on the restart and I was trying not to use them until we got to traffic and after that I was just hanging on.” Dietz hung on to score his eighth career victory at Lincoln.

Chase Dietz took the lead at the line after the green flag flew and held on to the top spot as they came out of turn 2 ahead of Zane Rudisill and Lucas Wolfe. The caution came out before a lap was in the books when Aaron Bollinger got into the wall in turn 4.

The field lined up for a complete restart and this time Dietz and Rudisill raced wheel to wheel for the lead at the line. Scott Fisher stopped on the front stretch facing the wrong direction bringing out the yellow flag again before a lap was completed.

Dietz had a better start on the third attempt with Rudisill and Wolfe running second and third when the red flag came out for Tim Wagaman in turn 4. With half the laps allotted for cautions already used, the red was opened up as a fuel stop.

After the fuel stop the field lined up for the fourth attempt which ended with Cole Young bringing out the caution in turn 4. The fifth try to start the feature resulted in Riley Emig bringing out the red when he flipped in turns 1 and 2.

For the sixth attempt to start the feature, the field lined up single file with Dietz, Rudisill Wolfe, Tyler Ross and Kyle Moody at the front.

Dietz had a solid start with Wolfe looking to Rudisill’s inside but did not make the pass. Wolfe stayed on Rudisill’s tail at the line as they continued to battle for second.

By lap 6 Dietz was closing in on lapped traffic. Rudisill passed Dietz for the lead coming out of turn 2 but the caution came out on lap 8 before the pass was official. The yellow was for Scott Fisher who fell off the pace.

Dietz led Rudisill, Wolfe, Ross and Justin Peck to the cone for the restart. Once again Wolfe looked under Rudisill for second but could not make the pass. Peck got by Ross for fourth and was closing in on Wolfe to battle for third.

Chase found himself in lapped traffic again on lap 16, this time with Rudisill hot on his heels.

Peck was all over Wolfe for third as they battled lapped traffic with Peck taking the spot on lap 25. Rudisill was closing in on Dietz as the laps counted down, but Dietz got to the checkered flag .546 seconds ahead of Rudisill for his eighth career win at Lincoln. Peck crossed the line third and Wolfe was fourth. Ross completed the top five.

Tanner Jones Scores Win in Lincoln Speedway Debut

Lincoln Speedway promoters made the decision to start every Legend car that could run for the 20-lap feature. That meant 32 cars lined up for the drop of the green flag.

Justin Wagaman stopped on the bottom of turn 3 before the initial start bringing out the yellow. Once the field lined up again and the green flag waved Jeremy Ott took the lead with Lincoln and Seth Kearchner, son and father, racing side by side behind him for second.

Seth got by Lincoln for second and Tanner Jones was in fourth. Jones looked under Lincoln battling for third. Mason Chaney stopped on the back stretch bringing out the caution on lap 4.

The top five for the restart were Ott, Seth, Lincoln, Jones and Rick Hartwig. Jones got under Lincoln for third on the restart before another caution on lap 5. Logan Carbaugh was spun around and Roy Warehime was stopped in turn 1.

Stephen Wurtzer got by Hartwig for fifth before the yellow flag flew again on lap 6 when Luke Stiles was sitting sideways in turn 4.

A three-car battle for the lead between Ott, Seth and Jones ensued on the restart. Jones got under Seth down the back stretch and then got by Ott coming out of turn 4 to take the lead on lap 9.

Lapped traffic came into play on lap 10 for the leaders. Ott, who was going for the all-time win record in Legends at the track, got together with a lapped car on lap 11 bringing out the caution.

Jones, Seth, Lincoln, Wurtzer and Travis Perry paced the field for the restart but Brady Arndt stopped on the back stretch before the field went green, bringing out the yellow.

Wurtzer drove under Lincoln for third but Lincoln held the spot at the line. Wurtzer did not give up and stayed on Lincoln’s tail to battle for the spot.

Scott Musselman got turned around in turn 4 bringing out the caution on lap 17.

This time Wurtzer got under Lincoln for third on the restart. The red flag came out on lap 19 when Shaun Abney got upside down coming out of turn 4. Chad Earnst was also involved and got into the guardrail in turn 4.

Jones, Seth, Wurtzer, Lincoln and Perry led the field to the cone for a one-lap shoot out.

In his Lincoln Speedway debut, Jones took the checkered flag .350 seconds ahead of Seth Kearchner. Wurtzer finished third and Lincoln Kearchner was fourth. Perry completed the top five.

Next Saturday, April 1, Lincoln Speedway is back in action with the 410 sprint cars and 358 sprint cars. Racing starts at 6PM with pit gates opening at 3:30PM and grandstand gates opening at 4PM.

BAPS Posts Hefty Guaranteed $20,000 Point Fund for Sprint Cars

YORK HAVEN, Pa.: During the offseason, the management team at BAPS Motor Speedway worked on making their product better for fans and race teams.

There were the normal Winter improvements at the speedway. The next step was tweaking the schedule by adding more diversity and bigger events, including a World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series date in July.

But Owner Scott Gobrecht and General Manager Kolten Gouse continued to push forward. The effort has paid off, and the team announced a historic point fund for the 410 Sprint Car division Wednesday that features a hefty $20,000 pool thanks to RV 4-Wheel Drive and Performance Automotive coming on board as the title sponsor and additional support from Denk Electric, Capitol Renegade, and SprintCarUnlimited.TV.

“This is something we’ve wanted to do since Scott purchased the speedway in 2015,” Gouse said. “Thanks to partners like RV 4-Wheel Drive and Performance Automotive, Denk Electric, Capitol Renegade, and our Pay-Per-View provider SprintCarUnlimited.TV, we were able to make this possible.

“One of the things we wanted to do this season is add more Sprint Car events. In doing so, we thought it would also be good to reward the teams that are going to support us during the 2023 season, and thanks to our sponsors, we were able to put a pretty good deal together for our 10-race series.”

The York Haven, Pa., facility has 11 Sprint Car events this season. The July 19 World of Outlaws event will not count toward the RV 4-Wheel Drive and Performance Automotive Sprint Series presented by Denk Electric, Capitol Renegade, and SprintCarUnlimited.TV.

"We are pretty stoked for this opportunity and new partnership with BAPS and their team," Shawn Smeigh, General Manager of RV-4 Wheel Drive and Performance Automotive said. "For several years dating back to Silver Spring Speedway, RV 4-Wheel Drive and Performance Automotive has been sponsoring Sprint Cars and local venues to keep our sport growing. I guess you can say we are pretty big fans. We love this sport and always try to contribute in different ways."

This year’s point champion will receive $5,000. Fifth place will receive $1,750, with 10th taking home $1,000. It should also be noted that the entire point fund is guaranteed regardless of how many races are completed.

“When we put this point fund together, we wanted to make sure we rewarded drivers throughout the top 10 finishers in the standings,” Gouse said. “For Sprint Car racing to be healthy, big teams and smaller teams need to make money, and we think this breakdown is fair across the board.

“We have a lot of things planned at BAPS Motor Speedway during the upcoming season. The RV 4-Wheel Drive and Performance Automotive Sprint Series presented by Denk Electric, Capitol Renegade, and SprintCarUnlimited.TV adds to what we are trying to accomplish at the speedway.”

The 10-race 410 Sprint Car schedule kicks off March 26 with a program that also features the 358 Sprints. It also features the Kevin Gobrecht Classic paying $10,000 to the winner on September 23 and the season-ending Final Showdown on November 11. More details on the schedule will be announced throughout the season.

Smeigh continued, "This new partnership with BAPS and their generous point fund for the Sprint Cars is no different. We look forward to seeing how this year plays out and hope to see many of the loyal racing fans at the track. We appreciate all the fans of racing that support us and make it possible for us to do things like this."

Williams Grove Season-Opening Outlaws Invasion Is Friday Night

Opening Day Will Feature The Greatest Show On Dirt March 17

3/12/23

Mechanicsburg – The season opener presented by Hoosier at Williams Grove Speedway will now take place this Friday night, March 17 at 7:30 pm when for the first time ever the World of Outlaws Sprint Cars appear at the track in March.

Never before have the outlaws stars gotten to shine at Williams Grove this early in the season much less in the coveted opening day event but Friday night’s $10,000 to win show will put an end to the Spring oval absence by the circuit.

Just five outlaws events have been held since the 2023 tour kicked off in Florida back in February, all having been run at Volusia Speedway Park.

Current point leader David Gravel has scored three of the five with other wins going to Carson Macedo and James McFadden.

Adult general admission for Friday is $30 with youth ages 13 – 20 priced at just $15.

Kids ages 12 and under are always FREE at Williams Grove.

Outlaws winners at the track last season were Lance Dewease (3), Brent Marks and Brad Sweet.

The earliest outlaws event ever run at Williams Grove Speedway occurred on May 11, 2012 when Fred Rahmer took a 25-lap main event aboard the No. 51.

Indiana’s Justin Peck scored the season opener at Williams Grove Speedway last year and has already been to victory lane in the area this season.

Over the years, no driver has stood in Opening Day victory lane at Williams Grove more than Fred Rahmer of Salfordville.

Rahmer took his first of six lidlifter wins in 1997 with his last coming in 2013

Williams Grove Speedway will spin off the only show of the season at the track for super late models on Friday night, March 24 when the ULMS circuit competes.

The super lates will race for $3,500 to win in a show that also includes the Lawrence Chevrolet 410 sprint cars.

And then the 358 small block modifieds will make a return to Williams Grove on March 31, sharing the card with the 410 sprint cars.

THUNDER ON THE HILL RACING SERIES

NAPA AUTO PARTS THUNDER ON THE HILL RACING SEIRES. . . . .

GEARS UP FOR HUGE 2023 SEASON OF HIGH PROFILE & UNIQUE EVENTS AT GRANDVIEW SPEEDWAY

BECHTELSVILLE, PA MARCH 9, 2023 . . . . . . The 2023 NAPA Auto Parts Thunder on the Hill Racing Series at the Grandview Speedway will showcase four premier and totally unique events and it kicks off on Sunday night, May 28 with the Balls to the Wall 50 for 358 Modifieds. This event, created at, and only to be seen at the Grandview Speedway is a 50 lap, $5,000 to win Modified feature. But wait there’s more….

During the 50 lap feature, the field will slow on lap 20 and again on lap 35 when the leader will earn $1,500 for leading the segment. The top four cars on lap 20 and 35 will invert then go after the $5,000 check to win the feature. There will be a special payoff to all drivers running in the top ten on lap 20 and 35 in addition to the base payoff. Last year, Craig Von Dohren won the “Balls to the Wall” 50 with Duane Howard and Kevin Hirthler leading the segments.

This invert race challenges some drivers with strategy as others just go, balls to the wall. If one driver should lead both segments worth $3,000 and win the feature event, the payoff would be worth $8,000. With special thanks to Pioneer Pole Buildings, an additional $4,000 bonus is posted to any driver that sweeps the show making the 50 lap win worth $12,000. The 602 Sportsman will be part of the racing program taking part in qualifying events leading up to their 25 lap feature. Race time is set for 7:30 PM.

The AMSOIL USAC Non-Wing Sprints National Tour presented by Pioneer Pole Buildings will invade Grandview with the running of the Eastern Storm on Tuesday night, June 13. The USAC Sprints will go 40 laps in the Jesse Hockett Classic that will pay $6,000 to the winner. This show is always a popular event for the fans and if you have never seen non-wing 410 sprint cars on the Hill, you need to be sure to catch this one. You’ll see slide jobs, some wheel banging and a bounce or two off that outside boiler plate wall that makes this show so exciting. The 358 Modifieds will be on this popular program with qualifying heats leading up to the 30 lap feature event. Gates will open at 5 PM with racing getting underway at 7:30 PM.

The Thunder Series continues on Tuesday night, June 27 when HVAC Distributors Partners for Success Night will present the Hodnett Cup in the Pennsylvania Sprint Speed Week Series. The 410 Sprints will go 35 laps with a $10,000 payday to the winner. This event will also include the 358 Modifieds in this summer night popular double-header with gates opening at 5 PM and race time set for 7:30 PM.

For the June 13 and June 27 events, Pioneer Pole Buildings will again post a $2,000 bonus to any first time Modified feature winner. It will be a very memorable night for any first time Thunder winner as they will earn $5,000 to win the 30 lap main event.

In 2022, Alex Yankowski driving the Rich Stankiewicz modified enjoyed a jubilant victory lane celebration after winning his first ever Thunder on the Hill feature and collected the PPB $5,000 payday for the win. That same year, Tim Buckwalter was a near PPB First Time Bonus Award winner and other drivers coming so close where Ryan Krachun and Matt Stangle.

Looking to the June 13 and June 27 thirty lap modified events on the Thunder Series schedule, Buckwalter, Krachun and Stangle could again be in the hunt for the bonus along with Dylan Swinehart, Louden Reimert, Mike Lisowski, John Willman, Craig Whitmoyer and Brett Gilmore to name a few.

Thunder on the Hill is proud to be the first in the Northeast to unveil the High Limit 410 Sprints on Tuesday night, July 25. Race sponsor Levan Machine & Truck Equipment proudly present the Rich Mar Florist High Limit 410 Sprints. Only twelve tracks in the country were selected to host a High Limits Sprint event and Grandview was one of the first to accept the offer. This is a stand alone 410 sprint event that will include time trials, qualifying and a 40 lap feature event paying $23,023 to the winner. The total purse is in excess of $80,000. This is the highest first place payoff in the thirty-four year history of Thunder on the Hill. Gates open at 5 PM with race time set for 7:30 PM. Advance ticket information will be available shortly. Wednesday, July 26 is the rain date for this event.

Dylan Cisney and Dillan Stake Score Victories During 81st Annual Opening Day at Port Royal Speedway

By- Justin Snyder

Port Royal Speedway- PORT ROYAL, Pennsylvania (March 5, 2023)- Dylan Cisney capitalized on lapped traffic and used a late-race move to get by Parker Price-Miller to score his second career Port Royal Speedway Opening Day presented by Packer's Concessions, LLC. triumph in front of an amped up Juniata County fanbase Sunday evening.

The win, worth $5000, came over Price-Miller, Anthony Macri, Danny Dietrich, and Jeff Halligan. It was “The Mayor’s” seventh career victory at his local facility and moved the hometown kid into a five-way tie for 49th on the career win list of the Speedway with Brock Zearfoss, Jeff Shepard, Jim Nace and Mike Erdley.

“Did you guys like that one?” said a thrilled Cisney in victory lane. “These things are tough and it’s just neat to now be a two-time Opening Day winner and we got it done today.”

Scheduled fourth-place starter, Lance Dewease, lost any opportunity at scoring his third consecutive Opening Day title before the green flag dropped as he was forced to his trailer with mechanical issues as the field got lined up.

Cisney and Halligan lined up on the front row for the 25-lap feature event and it was Halligan jumping out to the early lead. Cisney, Price-Miller, Macri and Jason Shultz settled into the top five positions. Dietrich, Austin Bishop, Devon Borden, Dylan Norris and Gerard McIntyre Jr made up the rest of the top ten.

While the front four settled into their respective spots, Dietrich cracked the top five on following lap. The top five remained the same over the front five circuits, before Borden came to a slow on the frontstretch with 20 laps remaining to bring out the event’s first caution. He’d tag the end of the field after making repairs.

Price-Miller made his presence known following a return to green-flag action as he got by Cisney for the runner-up spot on lap seven. Norris moved into sixth one lap later, while 11th-place starter Mike Wagner moved into seventh with 15 laps remaining.

The caution would fly again one lap later, when 14th-place running Logan Wagner spun out in between turn’s three and four. Wagner, who is the defending track champion at the Speedway, had advanced 10 positions prior to the spin after scoring the final starting spot for the event in the B-main earlier in the night.

Mike Wagner continued his march forward after the field returned to green-flag action as he moved into sixth with 11 laps remaining. While Borden moved back into the top ten two laps later.

Halligan remained steadily up front, but as he approached lapped traffic with seven laps remaining, he had Price-Miller and Cisney in hot pursuit.

Price-Miller made his move with three laps remaining as he took the lead down the backstretch exiting turn two. Cisney followed suit to get by Halligan exiting turn four and both he and Price-Miller were nose to tail coming to the two-to-go signal.

Cisney used a slider through turn’s one and two to overtake Price Miller for the top spot, but Price-Miller repaid the favor in turn’s three and four to lead the white-flag lap by mere inches. Cisney tried the same move again in turn’s one and two and this time he had the momentum exiting tun two. Price- Miller made one last ditch effort to grab the top spot on the top of the track in the last two turns, but Cisney would not be denied as he took the checkered flag.

Mike Wagner, Justin Whittall, Freddie Rahmer, Shultz, and Borden rounded out the top ten. Whittall earned an additional $500 courtesy of Valley Supply as the night’s hard charger award winner after starting 14th on the grid, while 19th-place finisher Paulie Colagiovanni earned the $1000 J&S Classics Warrior Award via random draw. 12th-place finisher Austin Bishop also earned an additional $100 bonus via Zach Knepp via random draw as well.

“We didn’t take off like we’d like to, but I’m perfectly fine letting someone else set sail and being the chaser,” said Cisney. “I didn’t really want to let Parker get by me out there, but those guys got racing each other there and we were like a rabbit chasing the dog. We got hungry and here we are.”

Cisney also made sure to compliment the track promotional team and the Juniata County Agricultural Society, who announced earlier in the night an increase of the weekly purse at the track in 2023 for not only the winners, but the rest of the field as well.

“It’s such a testament to everyone involved with this place that they can do this, and it means a lot with how much everything has increased in regard to costs,” said Cisney. “It’s hard to afford milk and eggs anymore, so we need this money as racers. It takes a lot to do this, and I can’t thank the people and sponsors enough for giving us as drivers and teams these opportunities.”

For Price-Miller, who intends to follow the Tezos All Star Circuit of Champions tour in 2023, he felt like he let one get away.

“I knew we were good, and we got that last restart and once I started catching Jeff (Halligan) I knew I had to do something quick,” said Price-Miller. “I got by him and went back to the top and Dylan threw a bomb at me, and I didn’t expect him to be there. I just love coming to Port Royal and being here on Opening Day and despite a second, I’m happy to put on a show for these fans.”

Dillan Stake entered the 2023 racing season as the defending Limited Late Model track champion at the Port Royal Speedway. He backed up the impressive 2022 season in the Limited Late Model division with his first career Selinsgrove Ford Super Late Model victory Sunday during Opening Day presented by Packer’s Concessions.

The win, worth $4000, came over Ross Robinson, Rick Eckert, Hayes Mattern and Jeff Rine.

Stake started on the outside of row one next to Amanda Robinson, and he was able to take the top spot on the opening lap of the 25-lap feature event. Mattern, Ross Robinson, Amanda Robinson and Eckert rounded out the top five.

Eight starter Austin Berry was on the move early as he moved into fourth at the completion of lap three, while the Eckert climbed back into fifth after briefly dropping out of the top five on lap four.

Stake lead Mattern and Robinson at the 15 laps to go mark, but he was quickly approaching lapped traffic and had his hands full. Both Mattern and Robinson were closing fast, but the two cars battled it out over the next five laps and gave Stake some breathing room as he maneuvered the lappers coming to ten to go.

Mattern finally gave way to Robinson for the runner-up spot with three laps to go, but by then Stake had opened up his advantage to a sizeable amount. Eckert overtook Mattern for the final podium spot on the final circuit, but nobody had anything for Stake as he cruised to the victory and the checkered flag.

Amanda Robinson, Colton Flinner, Gary Stuhler, Gregg Satterlee and Berry rounded out the top ten. Satterlee earned the hard charger award and scored an additional $200 courtesy of Mike Cleck Paving & Sealcoating, Inc.. Chad Myers earned an additional $100 courtesy of Georges Used Cars via random draw after finishing 19th as well.

“This deal is a lot of hard work and it finally paid off with a win with the Super,” said Stake. “As soon as we ran the first lap, I knew we had a really good car and I just needed to keep my tires under me. This is my favorite car and it’s the same car we won all the Limited races with, and we just finally made the switch.”

For Robinson, he was happy with a runner-up finish after his initial weekend plans elsewhere were ruined with rain.

“We had a rough Speedweeks in Florida, so this second is kind of a relief,” said Robinson. “This is a brand-new car and we didn’t have to do too much to feel comfortable, so we can take this and learn from it.”

Williams Grove Season Opener Win List Full Of Standouts And Surprises

Opening Day Tradition Continues March 12

3/5/23

Mechanicsburg - Opening day at Williams Grove Speedway is a tradition that dates back to the maiden season in 1939 when The Flying Dutchman, Tommy Hinnershitz of Oley claimed the very first race held at the track.

And another chapter in Williams Grove lidlifter history is set to unfold this Sunday, March 12 at 2 pm when the 2023 season opener is spun off featuring the Lawrence Chevrolet 410 sprint cars and the first-ever appearance at the track by the wingless super sportsman.

Presented by Hoosier, gates for Opening Day 2023 will open at noon with the sprint cars racing for a $5,500 payday in a 25-lap main event.

Adult general admission is set at $20 with youth ages 13-20 admitted for just $10 while kids ages 12 and under are always admitted for FREE at Williams Grove Speedway.

A host of prominent and some not so well known names dot the opening day win list at Williams Grove Speedway.

Hinnershitz, a AAA East champion in his career, claimed a total of three openers.

Other top names of the 1940s and 1950s that scored the Williams Grove opener included Ted Horn, Jimmy Bryan, Johnny Mackison Sr. and more.

On his way to immortality for fans of the 1960s and 1970s, Leroy Felty scored the opener twice in his career, in 1961 and 1966.

A Texan destined for greatness by the name of AJ Foyt took the victory in 1964.

Another man on his way to racing immortality, Jan Opperman hit the local scene for his first of three Williams Grove opening day wins in 1970.

Other popular winners of the 1960s and 1970s included Kenny Weld, Dick Tobias, Kramer Williamson, Smokey Snellbaker, Ray Tilley and Bobby Allen.

The duo of Lynn Paxton and Keith Kauffman struck for a total of five lidlifter wins in the decade of the 1980s while a virtual unknown in sprint cars, Kevin Collins, upended the field in 1983.

The 1990s dawned with Kenny Adams scoring a victory before Don Kreitz Jr. and Fred Rahmer each took a pair of opener wins.

Brian Paulus closed the decade with what was perhaps considered an upset win before a youngster from Enumclaw, Washington, began the 2000s with an undisputed upset, coming at the hands of a pre-Nascar Kasey Kahne.

Greg Hodnett would etch his name on the historical first race win list twice during the 2000s while familiar names like Lance Dewease, Crish Eash, Kreitz and Rahmer would return along with a popular win for underdog Mike Erdley of Elizabethville.

Rahmer and Hodnett continued winning into the 2010s while first time checkers went to Danny Dietrich and Lucas Wolfe of Mechanicsburg.

By far, the upset of the decade of the 2010s came at the hands of New Oxford’s Gerard McIntyre Jr. in 2014.

California invader Carson Macedo took the victory for his first career oval win in 2020 and Freddie Rahmer scored his first-ever opener win in 2021.

Invader Justin Peck took the 2022 opener.

 

 

 

Stage Set For Williams Grove To Open Sunday

2023 season lidlifter gets underway at 2 pm, Gates open at Noon

3/5/23

Mechanicsburg – The 2023 Williams Grove Speedway season opener presented by Hoosier is scheduled for this Sunday, March 12 at 2 pm featuring the Lawrence Chevrolet 410 sprint cars.

The wingless super sportsman are also on the card.

The Williams Grove sprint cars will compete in a 25-lap, $5,500 to win main event.

For their part, the wingless sportsman will race for $1,000 to win in a 20-lap feature.

The show will be the first ever at the track for the sportsman running without a top wing.

After everyone remembers to set their clocks ahead early Sunday morning, gates for the show will open at Noon with warm-ups slated for 1:30.

Indiana’s Justin Peck scored the season opener at Williams Grove Speedway last year and has already been to victory lane in the area this season.

And the 24-year old Peck will likely be vying to back up his 2022 Opening Day win when gates open up for the new season on Sunday.

Of course defending track champion Danny Dietrich of Gettysburg will be in the Opening Day field already with two oval opener wins in his pocket.

Other previous opener winners in the field should be Lucas Wolfe, Freddie Rahmer and Lance Dewease.

A pair of heavy hitters at the track the last few seasons but still missing from Opening Day lore is both Brent Marks and Anthony Macri.

Together, the pair has notched a total of 12 wins at the track since 2020 but not one has been in Opening Day action.

Both will be in the field but will 2023 change their Opening Day fortunes?

Over the years, no driver has stood in Opening Day victory lane at Williams Grove more than the elder Fred Rahmer of Salfordville.

Rahmer took his first of six lidlifter wins in 1997 with his last coming in 2013.

Adult general admission for Sunday is $20 with youth ages 13 – 20 priced at just $10.

Kids ages 12 and under are always FREE at Williams Grove.

The first 2023 race under the lights at Williams Grove is then planned for Friday night, March 17.

On tap will be the World of Outlaws Sprint Cars as they invade for the circuit’s first show of the year in Central PA Outlaw Madness.

Last year, Williams Grove opened the season on March 18.

View the complete 2023 Williams Grove Speedway schedule of events and keep up to date on all the latest speedway news and information by visiting the oval’s official website located at www.williamsgrove.com and by following the track on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.

FREDDIE RAHMER CHARGES TO VICTORY; Duane Howard Triumphant in Modifieds Return to the Pigeon Hills

Saturday, March 18, 2023 (6PM) World of Outlaws Sprint Cars

Saturday, March 25, 2023 (6PM) 410 Sprints + Central PA Legends

Abbottstown, PA (March 4, 2023) – Freddie Rahmer pulled the Eichelberger #8 into victory lane on Saturday afternoon with a smile on his face. After lining up deep in the field, Rahmer raced his way to the front and after a battle for the lead with Danny Dietrich late in the race, Freddie scored his second victory of the young season, “Good hard racing with Danny there we raced each other really good, that was pretty cool.”

There were three cautions and a red before the halfway point of the 30-lap feature, “There was a lot of yellows there and stuff happened and by lap 13 we were running 7th and I thought we could still run second or third here if we get into lapped cars and the cautions fell right,” Rahmer recalled in victory lane.

Dietrich was pacing the field and Alan Krimes was in second when Rahmer worked his way to third, “We were about even, the three of us there until about 10 or 12 to go and then we got to lapped traffic and Krimes peeled down right at the perfect time.”

Once he got by Krimes, Rahmer reeled in Dietrich as they worked through lapped traffic, “It was hard to get through lapped traffic and it was almost better to be second.”

Rahmer’s win on Saturday was his 26th at the track and paid $5,000 to win.

Alan Krimes and Danny Dietrich made up the front row for the start of Saturday afternoon’s 30-lap feature. Krimes led the field into turn 1 but Danny used the outside to take the lead out of turn 2 with Aaron Bollinger running third.

The first yellow came on lap 4 when Billy Dietrich came to a stop on the front stretch.

Danny, Krimes, Bollinger, Chad Trout and Tim Wagaman made up the top five for the restart. Chris Windom, making his debut in the Heffner Racing #27, was lined up sixth.

Danny had a solid restart and pulled away from Krimes quickly while Windom and Trey Hivner battled for sixth.

Devon Borden flipped in turn 4 bringing out the red flag on lap 6. There was no change to the top five for the restart.

Once again it did not take long for Danny to pull away from Krimes. Bollinger tried to make a move on Krimes for second in turns 1 and 2 but did not make the pass. Wagaman got by Trout for fourth. Macri followed and took fifth from Trout and then made quick work of Wagaman for fourth.

Macri and Bollinger got together in turn 4 as they were battling for third bringing out the caution on lap 11.

Freddie Rahmer went to the outside of brother Brandon to take sixth and then drove by Windom for fifth on the restart.

The final caution of the race came on lap 13 when Cameron Smith spun in turn 4.

Danny led Krimes, Wagaman, Trout and Freddie to the cone for the restart. Rahmer got by Trout and then Wagaman for third on the restart.

Danny found himself in lapped traffic on lap 19. Rahmer was closing in on Krimes and tried a slider in turn 2 as they caught the tail end of the field. Rahmer took second coming out of turn 2 and started to close in on Danny.

Freddie was getting a good run off of turn 2 using the high line as Danny was running the bottom. The two were nearly side by side at the line on lap 26. Freddie slid in front of Danny but Dietrich reclaimed the spot. Rahmer slid him again and took the lead on lap 28. Danny stuck with him and tried a slider to reclaim the lead in turns 3 and 4 with one lap to go.

Rahmer crossed the line just a half second ahead of Dietrich for the win. Krimes was third and Wagaman finished fourth. Trout completed the top five.

Duane Howard Triumphant in Modifieds Return to the Pigeon Hills

It had been over 10 years since the modifieds last visited Lincoln Speedway and on Saturday afternoon Duane Howard was triumphant in their return after a hard fought battle.

Mike Gular led the field into turn 1 with Billy Pauch Jr. on the inside and Louden Reimert in third. Pauch got by Reimert for second and a three car battle for third was underway between Reimert, Rick Laubach and Duane Howard.

Gular was pulling away from the field and Pauch was all by himself in second when the yellow came out on lap 8 when Mike Lisowski fell off the pace in turn 4.

Gular and Pauch lined up side by side for the double file restart. Gular, Pauch and Reimert were nearly three wide down the back stretch with Pauch taking the lead on lap 9. Reimert got under Gular for second coming out of turn 2.

Howard passed Gular for third but Gular got him back at the line to hold onto the spot on lap 11.

Gular got by Reimert to take second back on lap 12 using the high line. Gular was running alongside Pauch and took the lead back on lap 14. Howard caught Pauch and took second on lap 16. Howard then went to work reeling in Gular. Howard was all over Gular for the lead and made the pass coming out of turn 4 to take the top spot on lap 21.

Pauch and Reimert battled side by side for fourth with Reimert taking the spot. Howard was pulling away from the field as Laubach was working on Gular for second.

Howard got to the checkered flag 3.384 seconds ahead of Gular. Laubach crossed the line third and Reimert was fourth. Pauch held on to finish fifth.

Next Saturday, March 11, Lincoln Speedway is dark. We are back in action with the World of Outlaws Sprint Cars on Saturday, March 18. Racing starts at 6PM with pit gates opening at 2PM and grandstand gates opening at 4PM.

PORT ROYAL SPEEDWAY SET FOR 81ST ANNUAL OPENING DAY SUNDAY

March 1st, 2023

By- Justin Snyder

Port Royal Speedway – PORT ROYAL, PA – (March 1, 2023)- After 135 long days without racing activity, the sounds of engines are set to return to the Juniata County air this Sunday, March 5th, as the Weikert’s Livestock 410 Sprint Cars and the Selinsgrove Ford Super Late Models take to the track for the 81st Annual Port Royal Speedway Opening Day presented by Packer's Concessions, LLC..

In what has been a recent tradition, the Speedway will again utilize a Sunday opener where the Sprint Cars will compete for a $5000 winner’s share while the Super Late Models will race for a $4000 to-win prize.

Pit gates open at 11A.M and general admission gates open at Noon. Racing is set to kick off at 2 P.M. Adult admission is $25, while students are $10. Pit admission is $35.

Last year, Lance Dewease scored his fifth career Opening Day triumph over Mike Wagner, Justin Peck, Danny Dietrich and Logan Wagner.

Wagner enters 2023 as the series defending champion after scoring a record fifth consecutive track points championships last season. Wagner’s championship last season bested all-time winningest driver, Keith Kauffman, as the only driver to go five-in-a-row. Speaking of Kauffman, Dewease sits 8 back of the ‘Man from Mifflintown’ on the career wins list with 121 victories and will be looking to chip away at that total for his sixth career opening day trophy.

The last driver to triumph on opening day and go on to claim the season ending track points title was Todd Shaffer in 2008.

In Super Late Model competition, Colton Flinner scored the opening day triumph over Kyle Hardy, Gary Stuhler, Trever Feathers and Kyle Lee. Flinner went on to score the season ending points championship in a nail-biter that went down to the final turn of the season over Gary Stuhler, Chad Myers, Mike Lupfer and Jason Schmidt.

The Super Late Models have been a part of opening day festivities yearly since 2013 and Feathers joins Andy Haus and Jason Covert as drivers with two career triumphs in the event. Other drivers to claim victory in the division on opening day are Tim Wilson, Mike Lupfer and Rine. Rine turned his triumph into a track championship in 2018.

JUSTIN PECK BESTS THE PA POSSE IN ICE BREAKER FINALE

UPCOMING SCHEDULE:

Saturday, March 25, 2023 (6PM) 410 Sprints + Central PA Legends

Abbottstown, PA (February 26, 2023) – After finishing one spot shy of victory lane on Thursday night’s season opener, Justin Peck scored his first win of the 2023 season on Sunday afternoon at the Ice Breaker finale. The track conditions for Sunday’s day race were drastically different from Thursday night, “It was pretty technical,” was Peck’s assessment of the track Sunday, “I kept moving the wing back and the top slowed down finally.”

When asked about the final restart of the race when Peck had Anthony Macri and Brent Marks lined up behind him he said, “I tried not to think about it.”

Sunday’s win was Peck’s fourth at Lincoln which is impressive when you look at the fact that his first win at the track was in 2021 and he only races a very limited number of times at the track each year. Peck took home $6,000 for his win on Sunday thanks to Tyson Fence Co.

Brandon Rahmer and Dylan Norris made up the front row for the Ice Breaker finale on a sunny Sunday afternoon. Rahmer led the field into turn 1 with Norris using the top to take the lead down the back stretch. Norris crossed the line ahead of Rahmer but the caution came out before the lap was scored complete. Chase Dietz and Riley Emig were stopped in turn 4.

The field lined up for a complete restart and this time Rahmer slid up in front of Norris and led lap 1. Justin Peck moved up to third and tried to take second from Norris in turn 2 but Norris reclaimed the runner up spot at the line.

Anthony Macri was watching the battle between Norris and Peck from fourth while trying to hold off Brent Marks. Marks got by Macri for fourth as Peck was closing in on Norris.

The yellow flag flew on lap 6 when Tim Wagaman fell off the pace in turns 1 and 2.

Brandon paced the field ahead of Norris, Peck, Marks and Macri for the restart.

Peck was on Norris’ bumper and nearly took second in turns 3 and 4 on the restart but Norris held the spot. Peck tried again for second and took it on lap 8 at the line.

Macri was all over Marks for fourth and took the spot in turn 2. Peck was closing in on Brandon and went to his inside as they drove into turn 3 and took the lead on lap 14.

Macri tried a slider on Norris for third and the two made contact in turn 2 with Macri taking the spot. Marks followed, sending Norris back to sixth.

Lap 18 saw Macri get by Brandon for second. Marks and Devon Borden were battling for third with 10 laps to go.

Peck made contact with lapped car turn 2 on lap 23 but kept going and held onto the lead.

Matt Campbell rode the wall in turn 2 and tried to keep going but the car was broken and he came to a stop on the back stretch bringing out the caution on lap 27.

Peck, Macri, Marks, Borden and Danny Dietrich made up the top five for the restart with three laps to go.

Marks went low to take the inside line and got by Macri for second on the restart. Borden also got by Macri to take third.

Peck won his fourth Lincoln feature by .444 seconds over Marks. Borden was third and Danny Dietrich crossed the line fourth. Macri completed the top five.

Next Saturday, March 4, Lincoln Speedway is back in action with “Modified Madness” featuring the Gene Latta Ford 410 Sprint Cars racing for $5,000 to win and modifieds. Racing starts at 3PM with pit gates opening at 12:30PM and grandstand gates opening at 1PM.

Williams Grove Champion Dietrich Ready For 2023 Season

Oval opener is March 12

2/26/23

Mechanicsburg – When Gettysburg’s Danny Dietrich embarked on his 2022 racing season, the schedule he had set out would find him missing a few shows at Williams Grove Speedway during the year.

And miss a few he did.

But the 2022 Lawrence Chevrolet 410 sprint car track title still went home with him and No. 48 car owner Gary Kauffman.

The track title was the second of Dietrich’s career at age 34 and he raced all the way through the final laps of the year to put his name on the dotted line.

Dietrich entered the mid-October World of Outlaws National Open at Williams Grove some 185 points out of the lead and would march from 19th starting spot to finish eighth and score a 10-point margin to steal the title from Freddie Rahmer.

Still, Dietrich says it wasn’t a surprise to him that the team took the title.

“When it got down to the end of the season, to crunch time, I knew that we could do it,” he says.

“It’s been a long time since we had to punch our way into an outlaw show with a provisional and we've always found a way to get into the show and that’s been a key ingredient to our winning championships over the years.”

So now the 2023 season awaits.

Opening day at Williams Grove is slated for Sunday afternoon, March 12 at 2 pm.

Dietrich and Kauffman are paired again for their 14th season together as they make an assault on Williams Grove and other area ovals.

And Dietrich says while his plans for the new season are much like last year, there is a bit of a difference.

“The only time it looks like we’re gonna’ be away from Williams Grove this year will be Ohio speedweek . Our plan to miss Williams Grove shows this year is less than it has been in years’ past,” he says.

Plus, Dietrich and Kauffman have added former Michael Barshinger crewman Chad Lloyd to the fold.

We brought on Chad to help with tires and drive the truck and trailer which will take a little pressure off of (mechanic) Jake (Sgrignoli) and I.”

Dietrich insists that just like he began last year, he will not race anywhere for points in 2023.

“If we get ourselves in a situation where it doesn’t make sense to go out for a B Main, we won’t. And at the end of the year if you win races, the points take care of themselves,” he says.

The Kauffman team won three times at Williams Grove last year and Dietrich now sits in sole possession of 14th on the oval all time win list with 28.

Dietrich is a two-time opening day winner at Williams Grove Speedway with wins in 2015 and 2012 to his credit.

Last year, Williams Grove opened the season on March 18 when invader Justin Peck scored the sprint car win while Gregg Satterlee rode to victory in super late models.

LINCOLN SPEEDWAY

Abbottstown, PA

LINCOLN SPEEDWAY OPENS SEASON EARLY WITH STELLAR CROWD; FREDDIE RAHMER WINS SECOND CONSECUTIVE ICE BREAKER

UPCOMING SCHEDULE:

Sunday, February 26, 2023 (3PM) 410 Sprints [$6,000 to win]

Saturday, March 4, 2023 (3PM) MARCH MODIFIED MADNESS: 410 Sprints [$5,000 to win] + Modifieds [$3,000 to win]

Saturday, March 18, 2023 (6PM) World of Outlaws Sprint Cars

Abbottstown, PA (February 23, 2023) – Five days ago Lincoln Speedway management took a look at the forecast for the scheduled Ice Breaker weekend and made the decision to take a chance on moving the season opener to Thursday night instead of the scheduled Saturday afternoon. Thursday had a forecast high temperature of 75 degrees and Saturday looked like a chance of snow with a high in the 30s. The risk paid off as Lincoln opened the 2023 season to a packed race track full of fans.

Freddie Rahmer inherited the lead on lap 3 and impressively worked his way through lapped traffic to score his second consecutive Ice Breaker victory, “Really happy to get this out of the way. We did it last year and just had an ok year, and we’re going to do whatever it takes this year to step it up all around.”

As Rahmer worked through lapped traffic he had Danny Dietrich and Justin Peck hot on his heels, “We knew before the start of the race that lapped traffic would be a big deal,” Rahmer shared in victory lane and continued, “We were really good the first half and for a while I could sneak in the bottom through the lapped cars and then that went away.”

The temperatures were still in the mid to high 60s in victory lane and Rahmer shared, “Thankful Lincoln put this on tonight it feels like its May or June, it’s pretty cool.”

After hot laps, Wayne Harper shared his famous line to start the season, “All is right in the world!” With sprint car racing back in Central PA for 2023, Tyler Ross and Freddie Rahmer shared the front row for the start of the first feature of the year. Ross took the lead and went high into turn 1 with Rahmer opting for the bottom line in the turns.

Rahmer was keeping pace with Ross and despite doing a wheelie on the front stretch on lap 2, Ross held the lead. Ross and Rahmer were wheel to wheel at the line on lap 3 with Ross holding onto the top spot by inches. Rahmer took the lead in turn 1 and Ross spun in turn 2 in an attempt to reclaim first. Ross’ spin brought out the first and only caution of the night.

Rahmer led Brent Marks, Kyle Moody, Danny Dietrich and Justin Peck on the restart.

Rahmer went high in turn 1 and pulled away form Marks. Dietrich looked to the outside of Moody as the two raced for third with Dietrich taking the spot at the line. Peck followed and worked on Moody to take fourth on lap 6.

Rahmer entered lapped traffic on lap 8 as the lapped car of Trey Hivner got out of shape in front of him. Rahmer got by Hivner unscathed.

Peck and Marks raced side by side down the back stretch as they worked through lapped traffic. Dietrich got up to second and was using lapped cars to reel in Rahmer. Peck moved up to third and was closing in on the leaders.

Peck was nearly side by side with Danny for second on lap 15 at the line. Peck made the pass for second after making slight contact in turn 4 with Dietrich.

With 10 laps to go Rahmer had two lapped cars between him and Peck. Peck was doing everything he could to close in on Rahmer as the lapped counted down, but Rahmer was too good in lapped traffic.

Rahmer crossed the line 1.391 seconds ahead of Peck. Dietrich was third after holding off a late charge by Devon Borden who finished fourth. Matt Campbell completed the top five.

This Sunday, February 26, Lincoln Speedway is back in action with the Gene Latta Ford 410 Sprint Cars racing for $6,000 to win courtesy of Tyson Fence Co.. Racing starts at 3PM with pit gates opening at 12:30PM and grandstand gates opening at 1PM.

New Sponsors Come On Board at BAPS Motor Speedway in 2023

YORK HAVEN, Pa.: Returning sponsors and new editions have helped strengthen the commitment to divisions at BAPS Motor Speedway in 2023.

Meyer’s RV has joined the fold as the new title sponsor of the Super Sportsman division. The Super Sportsman Tour will also be represented by first-time title sponsor Lehman Towing.

A host of title sponsors have returned for the core divisions at the York Haven facility. Creekside Auto Sales is back for a sixth year to sponsor the Late Model division, and Superior Homes makes it seven years straight as the headliner for the Extreme Stocks.

Miller’s Racing Parts inked a deal to become the Street Stock title sponsor. The 602 Crate Sportsman division has become a staple at the speedway with FXG Sign and Label and Dickey's Barbecue returning. Denk Electric will be a part of the 410 Sprint Car Series.

“We are very grateful for our returning sponsors and the new companies that have come aboard in 2023,” BAPS Motor Speedway General Manager Kolten Gouse said. “Our goal is to give as much value as we can to our sponsors and judging by our ability to keep sponsors and sign new ones, we are doing a good job of that.

“Racing is expensive for not only the teams, but the speedways. Having strong divisions and quality sponsors is critical to the success of BAPS Motor Speedway, and we appreciate everyone who is involved.”

BAPS Announces 2023 410 Sprint Car Schedule

YORK HAVEN, Pa.: There is a different look and feel to the 410 Sprint Car schedule at BAPS Motor Speedway in 2023.

Six weeks ago, the management team at the speedway announced that the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series would invade the York Haven, Pa., facility for the first time in 30 years. But that was only part of the equation.

Speedway owner Scott Gobrecht and General Manager Kolten Gouse wanted to up the ante and revamped the schedule, adding 10 more 410 Sprint Car dates. The 11-race series is the biggest and most lucrative for the 410 Sprint Car division at the speedway since Gobrecht took over before the 2016 season.

“We have been trying to get a World of Outlaws date for a couple of years,” Gouse said. “Once that happened, it helped us gain national attention. Then, we went to work on building a schedule that best highlights the division and the racing at BAPS Motor Speedway.

“This is our biggest 410 schedule to date as far as number of races and money paid out. We are proud of what we came up with and look forward to hosting some of the best drivers in the country more this season.”

The World of Outlaws invade the speedway on July 19 for the Bricker’s Bash presented by Selinsgrove Ford. It will pay $10,000 to the winner and feature some of the best Sprint Car drivers in the world.

Gobrecht and Gouse also added more money to the Selinsgrove Ford Kevin Gobrecht Classic. The event was moved from the first weekend in May to September 23 and will pay a hefty $10,000 to the winner.

“September is an important time in central Pennsylvania, and we wanted to be a part of Central Pa. Month of Money,” Gouse said. “There are a lot of high-paying events during that stretch, and the Kevin Gobrecht Classic has become one of our prestigious events. So, it’s nice to be a part of that.”

Gobrecht and Gouse also added a date on March 26 to kick off the 410 Sprint Car season at the speedway. The 358 Sprints will also be a part of ACME Companies March Sprint Madness in what will be their first race in central Pennsylvania this season.

Pairing the Modifieds with the 410 Sprint division has become a popular combination at the speedway. The stars from Grandview, Big Diamond, and other regions in the Northeast join the Sprint Cars three times this season, including the season-ending Final Showdown on November 11. The Modifieds will also highlight the season opener at the speedway on March 18.

“The Modifieds have become a popular division at BAPS Motor Speedway,” Gouse said. “Putting the Modifieds and 410 Sprints on the same card combines the two premier divisions in the East.”

Below is the entire 11-race 410 Sprint Car schedule. For more information on BAPS Motor Speedway, head over to www.bapsmotorspeedway.com.

The 410 Sprints will showcase this stand alone program and after a series of qualifying, the green flag will fall to start the 40 lap main event that will pay a hefty $23,023 to the winner. This is the richest payoff in the thirty-four year history of the NAPA Auto Parts Thunder on the Hill Racing Series.

Another first for the track is the two-day Dirt Classic weekend scheduled for September 2 and 3 with the “Kickoff to the Classic” on Saturday and “Dirt Classic X” on Sunday.

Track management has listened to the racers and the fans and have moved the start times up for most events. The mid-summer shows are scheduled for 7PM instead of 7:30PM. In addition to the earlier start times, the promoters have scheduled more two division shows after considering feedback from last year’s schedule.

 

Along with the new additions to the schedule, many familiar and popular dates will be back for 2023. The 20th Annual “Weldon Sterner Memorial” is slated for May 20. “Fallen Firefighters Night” is slated for May 6.

Williams Grove Speedway Schedule Taking Shape, Special Dates Announced Outlaws to visit in March, Full slate to be released in January

12/16/22

Mechanicsburg – Williams Grove Speedway is preparing its 2023 schedule of events and while not completed in its entirety, several special racing programs have been confirmed.

As already announced, the 2023 season opener featuring the Lawrence Chevrolet 410 sprint cars and the wingless super sportsman is set for Sunday afternoon, March 12 at 2 pm.

Another $8,000 score comes up when the Hoosier Diamond Series Jack Gunn Memorial is spun off on August 25.

Both races will pay $600 just to start.

Tribute races will honor former wheelman Doug Esh and former car owners Jim and Sandy Kline in 2023.

The All Stars Circuit of Champions Sprints will invade to honor Esh with a $10,000 to win main on May 26.

BLOOMSBURG FAIR RACEWAY, BLOOMSBURG, PA

WEBSITE: https://racing.bloomsburgfair.com/

COMING EVENTS: Jan. 20 & 21 Pioneer Pole Buildings Motorsports Racecar & Trade Show, Oaks, Pa.

April 13 Open practice all divisions 6:30 pm – 9:30 pm

April 20 @ 6:00 pm Opening Night

Top USAC All-Pro SpeedSTR drivers to headline Bloomsburg Fair Raceway in ’23…Rich Tobias joins promotion team

(BLOOMSBURG 12-14-22): The 2023 season at the Bloomsburg Fair Raceway is taking shape and when the green flag drops on April 20 to begin the third year of racing located inside the historic Bloomsburg Fairgrounds, fans will get their first taste of watching modern day cowboys such as “The Wheel Master General” Timmy Buckwalter, “The Kid’s Kid” Billy Pauch Jr., and Briggs Danner as they go slinging through the corners and lashing their way down the shoots against a bevy of other star-studded wheelmen over the spring and summer competing in the headline USAC All-Pro SpeedSTRs.

Buckwalter, Pauch and Danner all know their way to Victory Lane at the 3/8-mile oval and they’ll be looking to add more stops there this season but indeed will have their hands full in the pursuit of additional checkered flags as they face off race against the amazing competition within the SpeedSTR ranks.

The SpeedSTRs division will be joined regularly by the Crate 602 Modifieds, 4-Cylinder FWD Stocks run under SCRDA rules and Slingshots.

“It’s part of working to grow on a multi-year plan to present good, quality racing and conduct it within a reasonable time frame. With this regular line-up plus at times bringing in other touring groups we’re looking at a nice diversified program to offer our fans,” said Rich Tobias, who has come onboard for the 2023 season as a member of the operations team.

Tobias is part of the highly touted promoting group that oversees the Wednesday evening shows at Championship Energy Action Track USA in Kutztown. He’s been tapped to bring his talents to Bloomsburg and will be working with Steve O’Neal in a combined role as Race Organizers on behalf of the Fair Board.

“Bloomsburg is an awesome facility and these divisions will compliment this awesome facility. We’re going to be mimicking the way we do things at Action Track which works each week with up to at times 120 cars and there’s no reason that along those same lines we’ll make it work here at Bloomsburg too,” said Tobias.

“We’re already looking at adding fresh clay that will enhance the banking contour. We need to give the racers a good track to compete on and keep it that way for all classes during the night. We’re in the business of entertaining and that’s the main focus, to present good, family fun entertainment value to our fans.”

The 2023 schedule of events are currently in the final stages. A pre-season practice night is slated for Thursday, April 13 and will be open to any and all classes that expect to compete this season.

The choice to stick with Thursday evening was a group decision based on working with other area tracks and touring groups in an effort to not be in direct competition for the same night.

“Thursday will be the new norm for Bloomsburg. That’s the night we’ll be doing our racing which we feel will be the best night for everyone. The one thing we don’t want to do is conflict with other tracks because it’s important that we show our support to them and in doing so we hope that the fans and racers return the same to Bloomsburg,” added Tobias.

One week following the open practice, the season official gets underway on April 20. For the most part events will be held twice each month and conclude during the 168th Bloomsburg Fair.

Tobias also noted that additional groups will also see action and is confirming dates that will be favorable for all parties.

“We’re in the process of firming up things and will have the complete schedule out in very short order. I’m confident everyone will like what we have to offer,” said Tobias.

The track will mandate mufflers for any cars that race. A 6:00 pm start time will be in place as well. More details are forthcoming.

Statement Regarding "The Night Before" & Future Race Procedures at BAPS Statement Regarding "The Night Before" & Future Race Procedures at BAPS

YORK HAVEN, Pa.: The management team at BAPS Motor Speedway is committed to making things better for competitors through transparency and action.

During Friday’s The Night Before program at the speedway, Danny Dietrich did a 360 spin on Lap 28 of the 410 Sprint Car feature and kept going. He was given the second starting position on the restart, when he should have been fourth.

After reviewing procedures and a tape of the incident, the decision was made to get rid of the blend rule, effective immediately. If a driver spins and brings out the caution, the yellow will be thrown, and he or she will tag the rear. The new rule will be in place for the November 12 Final Showdown at the speedway.

“In an effort to be transparent about the situation, we admit there was an error in instituting the blend rule for that situation,” BAPS Motor Speedway General Manager Kolten Gouse said. “To avoid any problems in the future, we decided to take that rule out altogether.

“The blend rule has become a judgement call in this sport. We feel it’s important to make sure our officials and competitors have a clear understanding of a rule so there are no questions or concerns during the event.”

A Monday meeting at the speedway also led to another rule change that will be implemented for the Final Showdown on November 12.

In the past, double-file restarts have been used throughout the main events. Moving forward, double-file alignments will be used for restarts up until the last 10 laps. If a caution is thrown in the last 10 laps, the field will use a single-file restart format.

“After reviewing data, we decided a compromise was in order for double-file restarts,” Gouse said. “We are committed to making the best possible decisions for our competitors, and sometimes you have to evaluate and make changes to achieve that.”

 

 

Dietrich Races To Williams Grove Point Lead And Title In Season-Ending National Open
Gettysburg driver notches second career track crown, Special awards announced

10/23/22

Mechanicsburg – Danny Dietirch of Gettysburg capped off his 2022 sprint car campaign at Williams Grove Speedway on Saturday night by claiming his second career Lawrence Chevrolet 410 sprint car track title with a hard fought eighth place finish in the season-ending National Open.

The title is also a second for car owner Gary Kauffman, having taking the title with Dietrich as well in 2019.

The title chase came right down to the wire in Saturday’s National Open as Dietrich entered the event some 185 points behind in the standings.

After starting 19th in the field Dietrich raced his way forward to ninth, placing himself in a tie with Freddie Rahmer for the point lead, before gaining one more spot which ended up serving him with a 10-point advantage to claim the prestigious crown.

Dietrich picked up three wins at the oval during the season including an impressive sweep of the Jack Gunn Memorial twin 20s sanctioned by the All Stars in late August.

Aside from the victories, among his other top results were a trio of seconds, four third-place finishes and a pair of fifths.

In total, Dietrich raced to 15 top-ten finishes on the year at Williams Grove while competing in 20 of the 24 main events staged.

Dietrich now joins a list of other oval two-time track champions including Freddie Rahmer, Jimmy Nace, Keith Kauffman, Smokey Snellbaker, Kramer Williamson, Johnny Mackison Sr. and a few others.

Special awards for the 2022 season within the 410 sprint ranks were also recently announced.

Earning Rookie of the Year honors was Austin Bishop, who ended up 21st in season points.

Lucas Wolfe earned the Sportsmanship Award.

And Dylan Norris was voted Most Improved Driver of the 2022 season by virtue of earning his first oval win early in the year before ending up an impressive third in season points.

Lance Dewease was crowned the 2022 Hoosier Diamond Series titlist in late September.

The title is the fifth of Dewease’s career having taken three alone for current car owner Don Kreitz Jr. while it was a fifth overall for Kreitz as well including a pair he scored while driving his own mount.

Dewease Leads Posse Podium Sweep To Score Outlaws 75K Williams Grove National Open

Danny Dietrich Pulls Out 2022 Track Title With Run From 19th

10/22/22

Mechanicsburg – Lance Dewease of Fayetteville led a Pennsylvania Posse podium sweep of the World of Outlaws sprint cars series to claim the Diamond Anniversary Champion Racing Oil National Open at Williams Grove Speedway on Saturday night.

The $75,000, flag to flag score by Dewease was the fifth National Open title of his career at the track and his 111th overall victory there. It was also his fifth win in a row at the oval to close out the season.

In the race within the race, to be named the 2022 Lawrence Chevrolet 410 Sprint Car track titlist, Danny Dietrich pulled off the upset of Freddie Rahmer.

Dietrich claimed his second track crown by racing from 19th starting spot to finish eighth and win the title by a mere 10 markers after entering the event 185 points out of the lead.

Dewease started the 40-lap, 20-mile National Open on the pole and would end up leading every circuit but his performance was not flawless.

Just five laps of the race were in the book when the first caution flag appeared for a broken rear axle on outlaws point leader Brad Sweet’s machine.

The result was a DNF for Sweet and a dramatic loss of points for the defending tour champion with just one final weekend of racing to go for the series.

The caution gave Dewease clear track as traffic was looming before the yellow flag.

By lap 10 Dewease had a one second lead over Brent Marks however with traffic again looming, Marks was able to pull up on the leader’s tail tank and the pair crossed the line on lap 13 nose to tail with Dewease’s front end hiked up in the air.

Marks then stuck close to the leader, dogging him through traffic while third runner David Gravel made strides at running the pair down.

Dewease saw a .540 second advantage evaporate on lap 25 when the field was stopped for refueling with Gravel, Spencer Bayston and James McFadden restarting in the top five.

The leader seemed to turn up the wick when action resumed, producing a 1.2 second lead over Marks as lap 26 was scored but his pace was soon slowed again, on lap 28 for a stopped Daryn Pittman.

The return to action saw Marks make his move for the win when he drove to the leader’s inside as the pair raced into the first turn.

And Marks made his move stick as he took the lead on the backstretch, leaving Dewease to scrap for second with newcomer Anthony Macri who got by Spencer Bayston for third on the previous restart.

However, Dewease got a reprieve in the form of a red flag before the lap could be officially scored as the cars of TJ Stutts, Brock Zearfoss and Gio Scelzi crashed in the third and fourth turns.

The stoppage negated the Marks move and put Dewease back at the point of the field.

Dewease kept Marks at Bay when the field got back underway, racing through the middle of the turns and with 10 laps to go his advantage was again 1.1 seconds when another yellow flag bunched the field, this time thanks to a Logan Schuchart/Cory Eliason tangle on the frontstretch.

The final 10 laps of the race went non-stop but they were full of action.

Marks took another shot at stealing the lead on lap 32 as he bolted under Dewease in turns three and four only to see the leader pinch him off from completing the move.

In the meantime, Danny Dietrich was racing his heart out for the track title, making his way into eighth and sole possession of the crown instead of ninth that would have found him declared co-champion with Rahmer who had failed to qualify.

But then James McFadden passed Dietrich back for eighth, forcing Dietrich to again rally and reclaim the coveted position.

With three laps to go, Macri went around Marks for the second spot and appeared poised to make a run at the win but Marks was up to the challenge.

A lap later Macri again pulled off a move but Marks again thwarted the effort and Macri ended up hopping the cushion in turn four before nearly spinning out.

All of this gave Dewease clear sailing to the prestigious victory by .792 seconds.

Marks crossed the finish line second followed by Macri, completing a crowd pleasing one-two-three podium sweep of the spot spots by track regulars.

Bayston was fourth with Gravel ending up in fifth spot.

Sixth through 10th went to Justin Peck, Jacob Allen, Dietrich, defending Open champion Carson Macedo and McFadden.

The National Open win was the third of car owner Donnie Kreitz’s career.

Kreitz scored Open laurels in 1993 as an owner/driver before Dewease also gave him an Open championship in 2018.

For Dewease, the Open title was a fifth as driver having taken previous Opens in 1996, 2001, 2002 and in 2018 for car owners Walt Dyer, Joe Harz, Al Hamilton and Kreitz, respectively.

Heats went to Sheldon Haudenschild, Dewease, Marks and Allen.

Lucas Wolfe won the C Main and six-time Open winner Donny Schatz scored the B Main.

Dewease won the dash and earned the pole for the feature.

Haudenschild set fast time over the field of 44 cars with a lap of 16.481 seconds in time trials.

October 22 Running Of Williams Grove National Open Ties For Seventh Latest In History

10/16/22

Mechanicsburg – When Williams Grove Speedway cranks up the Diamond Anniversary, 75K to win, Champion Racing Oil National Open on Saturday, October 22, it will spin off the fall classic as the seventh latest running of the event in its 60-year history.

For sure this year’s make-up Champion Racing Oil National Open sanctioned by the World of Outlaws will mark the latest running of the event in nearly 25 years.

Billy Pauch won an unsanctioned National Open back on October 24, 1998.

But running the biggest event in the East so late in the season is a rarity.

The latest-ever running of the National Open took place back on November 7, 1971 when Kenny Weld took the win over Johnny Grum.

October 29, 1967 saw Bobbie Adamson score the victory and a year later, on October 27, it was Adamson again taking the big win.

In 1969, an upset win by Selinsgrove driver Gene Varner took place on October 26.

The dawn of the 1970s saw the race contested on October 25 when the aforementioned Grum scored the win.

Next in line is the Pauch victory on October 24, 1998.

And in what will move into a tie for the seventh latest Open race in history when the 2022 version is completed, the National Open saw Weld again take the checkers, this time on October 22, 1972.

So in keeping with history, since an average 25-year interval has developed between the two most recent late-October National Opens, Williams Grove drivers and fans should not again expect the fateful occurrence for another quarter century.

Abbottstown, PA (October 15, 2022) – Danny Dietrich scored his sixth win of the season and the 61st win of his career at Lincoln on Saturday night at the Dean’s Auto Plaza Night of Champions. Dietrich lined up third for the feature and after battling Buddy Kofoid, took over the lead on lap 12, “Buddy’s not easy to beat, he’s going to sliders, he’s got that midget mentality where they like to slide or die.”

The 30-lap feature had three red flags that led to an open red with 8 laps to go. When asked if he made any changes under the red Dietrich responded with, “a lot.”

Danny closed out the season with a $5,000 win thanks to Dean’s Auto Plaza, “This thing was just so much fun to drive. Its just fun to get this thing in victory lane and finish off the season with a win.”

Lucas Wolfe and Buddy Kofoid shared the front row for the drop of the green flag with Wolfe leading the field into turn 1. Kofoid was all over Wolfe coming out of turn 2 and got a run on Lucas to lead lap 1. Dietrich passed Wolfe for second on lap 2.

Matt Campbell and Kyle Moody raced side by side for fourth with Campbell taking the spot on lap 3. Moody took fourth back on lap 4 with the two continuing to battle for position. Campbell once again took it back on lap 7.

The yellow flag flew on lap 8 for Glenndon Forsythe just as Kofoid had reached lapped traffic.

The top five for the restart were Kofoid, Dietrich, Wolfe, Campbell and Moody.

Dietrich went to the top on the restart and nearly got a run on Kofoid but did not make the pass. Campbell got by Wolfe for third.

The red flag came out on lap 9 for Brandon Rahmer who got upside down in turns 3 and 4.

Kofoid led Dietrich, Campbell, Wolfe and Moody to the cone for the single file restart. Kofoid went high to take away Dietrich’s charge. The yellow came out again on lap 10 when Aaron Bollinger came to a stop in turn 2, Bollinger had been running seventh.

Dietrich slid Kofoid for the lead on the restart but Kofoid reclaimed the top spot down the back stretch. Dietrich stayed close and took the lead on lap 12. Buddy stuck with him and tried a slider in turn 2 to reclaim the lead but it did not stick.

Dallas Schott got upside down in turn 4 bringing out the red flag on lap 14.

Dietrich, Kofoid, Campbell, Wolfe and Rahmer led the field on the restart. Lucas got by Campbell to reclaim third. Rahmer followed and also passed Wolfe to take the third spot, sending Campbell back to fifth.

Just as Dietrich caught the tail end of the field on lap 22, Riley Emig got upside down in turns 3 and 4 bringing out the third red flag of the race.

After an open red for the teams Dietrich led Kofoid, Rahmer, Wolfe and Moody on the restart. Kofoid went low on the restart and tried a slider with no luck. Wolfe passed Rahmer for third. Kofoid tried yet another slider unsuccessfully allowing Dietrich to pull away.

Justin Whittall Breaks Through for First Port Royal Victory in Final 410 Sprint Car Start of the Season

By Justin Snyder

Port Royal Speedway- PORT ROYAL, PA- (October 15, 2022)- In a year filled with near misses and continued growth as a driver, Justin Whittall saved the best for last as he picked up his first career Port Royal Speedway victory Friday night during the final Weikert's Livestock 410 Sprint Car event of the season.

The victory came over a hard charging Dylan Cisney and Lucas Wolfe and was worth $6000 as it served as the make-up for the cancelled Labor Day Classic event.

Whittall lined up from the front row for the 25-lap A-main event alongside of Devon Borden and it was Whittall jumping to the top of the Speedway to grab the opening lead over Cisney, Borden, Wolfe and Buddy Kofoid.

Eighth-place starter Freddie Rahmer was on the move early as he moved into sixth on lap three.

However, Whittall was quickly distancing himself from the rest of the field as he stretched his advantage to more than two seconds within five laps. One lap later the New Jersey native hit lapped traffic, while the rest of the field hoped to track him down.

With 15 laps remaining, Cisney was starting to cut into Whittall's lead, but four laps later Whittall was gain stretching the lead as he approached a 3.0 second advantage with 11 to go.

Whittall had a scare one lap later when Austin Bishop, Jeff Halligan and Mike Water got turned around right in front of him and the youngster was forced to make an acrobatic maneuver to avoid contact and kept his car clean with 10 laps remaining.

While Whittall remained steady up front, it was Wolfe on the move after the restart as hehe went two four one to briefly move from fourth to second. Cisney took the runner-up spot back on the following lap.

Borden, who was running fourth at the time, saw his night come to an end with five laps remaining after a mechanical failure caused him to spin entering turn three to bring out the caution again.

Cisney tried a slider on Whittall after the return to green, but Whittall was not to be denied off the top of the Speedway. Rahmer got by Wolfe for the final podium spot one lap later, but Wolfe came powering back by on the following lap to regain the spot.

As Cisney hoped for a miracle over the final three laps, Whittall cruised home to the victory. Rahmer and Logan Wagner completed the top five followed by Kofoid, Danny Dietrich, Walter, Mike Wagner and Paulie Colagiovanni.

Danny Varin finished 12th and advanced six positions to earn the $500 Valley Supply Hard Charger Award.

Sprint Car Feature Results (25 laps): 1. Justin Whittall. 2. Dylan Cisney 3. Lucas Wolfe. 4. Freddie Rahmer. 5. Logan Wagner. 6. Buddy Kofoid. 7. Danny Dietrich. 8. Michael Walter II. 9.

Anthony Macri Continues Dominant Season in 410 Competition with First World of Outlaws Triumph; Dillan Stake Scores Yet Another Limited Late Model Win

By- Justin Snyder

Port Royal Speedway- PORT ROYAL, Penn. (Oct. 8, 2022)- In a season filled with multiple trips to victory lane across Central Pennsylvania and afar, it's hard to believe that the Anthony Macri had yet to conquer the NOS Energy Drink World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series in 2022.

Well, Macri got over the hump and scored his first career Outlaw triumph during the Friday night opener of the Nittany Showdown Friday night over a hard charging Lance Dewease, Logan Wagner, Justin Whittall and David Gravel.

The victory was worth $10,000 and only furthered ensured that Macri would be a favorite to bring home the $15,000 payday come Saturday night in the finale.

Macri captured the pole position for the 25-lap event courtesy of a fortunate redraw and he lined up alongside of Justin Whittall to take the green flag. He quickly pounded to grab the top spot on the opening lap over Schatz, Whittall, Dewease and Spencer Bayston.

Whittall got back by Schatz on lap two, while Macri was setting a torrid pace up front and caught the tail end of the field five laps later.

Dewease moved past Schatz for the final podium spot on the same lap and five laps later he got by Whittall for the runner-up spot. Eighth-place starter Logan Wagner was on the move and he moved into fourth after the completion of 15 laps as well.

One lap later the feature event's lone caution flew when Brent Marks got into the frontstretch outside guardrail with a flat tired to come to a stop while racing for sixth.

Dewease showed his muscle in turn's three and four following the return to green-flag action as he slid under Macri for the top spot briefly, but Macri was able to cross back under coming to the flagstand to retain the lead. Dewease would try again on the next circuit to no avail.

Four laps later Wagner continued his march to the front as he moved into the final podium spot and Dewease would close within striking distance with two laps remaining. However, Macri was too strong off the top as he held on to grab the victory by a margin of .772 seconds.

Schatz, Bayston, Sye Lynch, Ryan Smith and Carson Macedo rounded out the top ten. 18th-place finisher Logan Schuchart earned the night's $500 Valley Supply Hard Charger award after taking a provisional to start the A-main.

410 Sprint Car Feature Results: 1. Anthony Macri; 2. Lance Dewease; 3. Logan Wagner; 4. Justin Whittall; 5. David Gravel; 6. Donny Schatz; 7. Spencer Bayston; 8. Sye Lynch; 9. Ryan Smith; 10.

Dillan Stake continued what has been a dominant season in Selinsgrove Ford Limited Late Model as he scored the victory during the Top-24 invite only feature event for the division. Devin Hart, Taylor Farling, Derrick Garman and Andrew Yoder rounded out the top five.

Hart scored the $100 Dedicated Nursing Associates, Inc. Hard Charger Award after starting eighth on the grid.

Stake holds a 280-point advantage in the standings with one night left of racing on the 2022 schedule for the division. Hart, Shawn Shoemaker, Trent Brenneman and Ryan Zook round out the top five.

The series will return to action on Friday, Oct. 21st as part of the annual Blue Collar Classic event to close out their season.

GIOVANNI SCELZI HOLDS OFF BUDDY KOFOID TO WIN THE BRIAN MONTIETH CLASSIC

Saturday, October 8, 2022 (6PM) LAZER LATE MODEL CLASH: Super Late Models, 358 Sprints and Central PA Legends

Saturday, October 15, 2022 (6PM) DEAN’S AUTO PLAZA NIGHT OF CHAMPIONS: 410 Sprints and 358 Sprints [rain date: October 16]

Saturday & Sunday, February 25-26, 2023 ICE BREAKER WEEKEND

Abbottstown, PA (October 6, 2022) – Giovanni Scelzi had yet to have success at Lincoln Speedway but that all changed Thursday night at the Brian Montieth Classic. Scelzi drew the 1 in the redraw, putting him on the pole for the 35-lap $7,500 to win feature. The first words out of his mouth in victory lane were, “I think hell froze over if I won at this place. I’ve struggled my whole career here. Drawing the 1 definitely helped.”

Scelzi found himself in lapped traffic late in the race which allowed Buddy Kofoid to close in and take a shot at the lead, “I couldn’t quite tell who it was. I knew with those lappers in front of me someone would be closing.” A caution with two laps to go realigned the field and set up Scelzi for his first career Lincoln win. Scelzi joked in victory lane, “I also said if I ever won a 410 race here I’m going to retire so I hope you guys enjoyed it this is the last time you’ll ever see me race.”

Giovanni ran the high line around the track most of the race and when asked about the similarity to the driving style of the night’s honoree, Brian Montieth, Scelzi shared, “I can’t run the top quite as hard as he can, I think I need to shave my head.”

Scelzi took the lead from the pole when the green flag dropped with Brian Brown in second and Kyle Reinhardt in third. Justin Peck got by Dylan Norris at the line for fourth.

Reinhardt was searching the bottom, looking for a way around Brown for second. Scelzi was pulling away from the field as Brown, Reinhardt and Peck battled for second. Giovanni entered lapped traffic on lap 6, right before the caution came out on lap 7 when Glenndon Forsythe slowed on the back stretch. Forsythe had been running in the top 10.

Scelzi, Brown, Reinhardt, Peck and Norris were the top five for the restart. Reinhardt looked under Brown for second and took the spot coming out turn 2. Cory Haas brought out the caution on lap 8 when he stopped coming out of turn 2.

Peck was all over Brown on the restart and the two were nose to tail at the line. Norris was holding off a charge by Buddy Kofoid right behind them. Kofoid got by Norris for fifth and went to work on Peck. Buddy slid Peck for fourth in turn 2 and took the spot on lap 13. Scelzi found himself in lapped traffic again on lap 15 with two lapped cars racing side by side in front of him, allowing Reinhardt to close in.

Kofoid reeled in Brown and the two were side by side at the line on lap 18. Kofoid took third from Brown on lap 19. Peck followed, taking fourth.

Reinhardt got caught behind a lapped car allowing Kofoid to close in. Kofoid tried a slide job on Reinhardt for second on lap 22 but did not complete the pass.

Danny Dietrich was on the move running sixth with 10 laps to go after starting 19th. Kofoid got by Reinhardt for second on lap 25. Once again, Peck followed taking third.

Kofoid was closing in on Giovanni as they both ran the top line around the track. Kofoid was on Scelzi’s bumper with 3 laps to go at the line.

The yellow flag waved on lap 33 when Devon Borden stopped in turn 4.

Scelzi, Kofoid, Peck, Reinhardt and Dietrich lined up for a green, white, checkered finish.

Both Gio and Buddy went high in turns 1 and 2. Scelzi held on to win and crossed the line .970 seconds ahead of Kofoid. Peck finished third and Dietrich was the hard charger, finishing fourth after starting 19th. Reinhardt completed the top five.

Justin Peck set quick time over the 36-car field with a lap time of 13.299 seconds.

This Saturday, October 8, Lincoln Speedway is back in action with the Lazer Late Model Clash featuring the super late models, 358 sprint cars and Central PA Legends. Racing starts at 6PM with pit gates open at 3:30PM and grandstands open at 4PM.

BAPS Moves Sprint Car Event to "The Night Before"

YORK HAVEN, Pa.: A shift on the schedule will lead to more posted money for 410 Sprint Car drivers in October at BAPS Motor Speedway.

On the heels of the Williams Grove National Open being postponed last weekend and moved to October 22, the management team of Kolten Gouse and Scott Gobrecht made the decision to alter the schedule to accommodate the storied event.

Gouse and Gobrecht have moved the regularly scheduled 410 Sprint, Limited Late Model, and Extreme Stock triple-header on October 22 to one day earlier. The newly branded “The Night Before” presented by Denk Electric and Pleasantville Construction will take place on Friday, October 21 and is the perfect lead-in to the National Open.

The purse for the 410 Sprints now features a $6,000 payday to the winner, courtesy of the speedway and www.SprintCarUnlimited.TV. The Creekside Auto Sales Late Models will hold their final point race of the season, and the Superior Homes Extreme Stocks will have a feature-only program. Hot laps are 6:45 p.m. with heat races taking place at 7:30.

“We understand the importance of the National Open to the central Pennsylvania region,” Gouse said. “Moving to Friday also gives some traveling teams an opportunity to run two races instead of one that weekend.

“Anytime you can give a little extra money to teams, that’s a positive. We have to thank our sponsors for stepping up and making this a bigger event on a weekend that will draw attention from around the country.”

The regularly scheduled Extreme Stock Invitational has been taken off the schedule because of the date change. General admission is $25 for adults, $20 for seniors, and $15 for students. Kids 12-under are free. Pit passes are $35.

 

 

$75,000-to-win National Open Rescheduled for Saturday, October 22 at Williams Grove Speedway

World of Outlaws Sprint Cars Return to Mechanicsburg, PA 1/2-Mile in Three Weeks

MECHANICSBURG, PA - October 1, 2022 - World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series and Williams Grove Speedway officials have confirmed the Diamond Anniversary 60th Annual Champion Racing Oil National Open is rescheduled for Saturday, October 22.

The October 22 date for the National Open would not be possible without support from several other Central Pennsylvania tracks working together in assistance of Williams Grove's prestigious event. BAPS Motor Speedway has graciously moved their Saturday show to Friday, October 21, while Port Royal Speedway has kindly agreed to cancel their weekend plans.

Travelers such as Brad Sweet, Donny Schatz, Sheldon Haudenschild, Carson Macedo, David Gravel, and more hope to steal the loot from locals like Lance Dewease, Brent Marks, Danny Dietrich, Anthony Macri, and Freddie Rahmer, among others.

Dewease won a rain-shortened National Open Preliminary on September 30.

The season finale Williams Grove Champion Racing Oil National Open event will pay full points towards the 2022 Lawrence Chevrolet 410 sprint car track championship and the title will be decided at the conclusion of the 40-lap feature. It will be the final race on the 2022 schedule.

Lance Dewease Wins Rain Shortened Williams Grove National Open Preliminary

9/30/22

Mechanicsburg – Lance Dewease raced through the raindrops to win an abbreviated Champion Racing Oil World of Outlaws Sprint Cars National Open Preliminary at Williams Grove Speedway on Friday night.

The win completed a clean sweep of September action at Williams Grove by Dewease who also took three other main events during the month.

Friday’s win was the 110th of Dewease’s career at the oval, worth $10,000. It was also his seventh victory of the season there and the third of his career in the National Open Preliminary event.

Some 51 cars entered the big event on Friday at Williams Grove, meant to set the stage for Saturday’s Diamond Anniversary, 40-lap, $75,000 to win Champion Racing Oil National Open itself.

And Dewease earned the pole for what was to be the 25-lap Friday main by winning the dash over Sheldon Haudenschild.

As light rain began to fall, the feature took the green flag with Dewease beating Haudenschild into the first corner to take the early lead as Carson Macedo, Anthony Macri and Brent Marks gave chase.

By lap four Dewease had built a 1.6 second lead over Ohio’s Haudenschild.

The pacesetter was just ready to enter the rear of the field, just a few car lengths from beginning to put cars a lap down in the first corner when outlaws officials called for a yellow flag due to a slickening racing surface thanks to the moisture.

The caution period lasted approximately five minutes as officials kept cars circling the half-mile oval with intentions to work the surface back into racing condition.

And the tenacity paid off when the green flag again appeared for a restart with Haudenschild and Macedo following while Marks was up to fourth.

Already an outlaws winner at the track earlier this season, Marks was on the move when action resumed as he muscled third away from Macedo by lap 10.

But then moments later as Dewease was just about to complete lap 11, Marks went catapulting out over the third turn rail before ending up against the speedway grounds perimeter fencing.

The Myerstown driver had hopped the cushion as he entered the third corner, causing his car to barrel into a series high-flying flips.

Luckily the pilot escaped injury.

The stoppage for the Marks crash saw the persistent light rains continue, forcing officials to remove cars from the track.

After another 30-minute delay due to the showers, cars were called back to the track when the moisture relented and the surface was just put back into race-ready condition and the cars were lining up for a restart when another round of rain began falling.

Under World of Outlaws rules, outlaws officials then certified the race complete with 10 laps recorded.

Dewease would take the win by 1.3 seconds over Haudenschild.

Macedo inherited third, followed by Macri and David Gravel.

Sixth through 10th went to Brad Sweet, Jacob Allen, Donny Schatz, Spencer Bayston and Justin Peck.

Heats went to Haudenschild, Gravel, Marks and Macri.

Steve Buckwalter won the C Main and Dylan Cisney took the B Main.

Marks set overall fast time in time trials with a lap of 16.520 seconds.

MACRI THREE-PEATS IN SELINSGROVE NACE MEMORIAL NATIONAL OPEN;

SPAHR CLOSES OUT 305 SPRINT CAR SEASON WITH SECOND WIN

SELINSGROVE, Pa. – Anthony Macri of Dillsburg captured his third straight victory in the Jim Nace Memorial 40th Annual National Open for 410 sprint cars Saturday night at Selinsgrove Speedway.

Macri, who won the division’s first race of the year in April’s Ray Tilley Classic, book-ended his season at the historic speedway by becoming the fourth driver to record three consecutive wins in the National Open. The late Maynard Yingst of Linglestown (1983-85), Fred Rahmer of Salfordville (1995-97), and Pat Cannon of Etters (2011-2013) also pulled off the feat.

The win aboard the Macri Concrete/J&S Classics No. 39M was worth $26,000, a tribute to one of Nace’s most popular car numbers he campaigned in central Pennsylvania sprint car racing.

Gio Scelzi of Fresno, Calif., was the Fast Tees Fast Qualifier with a lap of 16.341. Scelzi scored his first career win at the track in May.

Blane Heimbach of Selinsgrove, who won two of the eight 410 sprint car races this year, clinched his first career Lelands.com 410 sprint car track championship worth $5,000.

Logan Spahr of Lewisberry won his second race of the year in the 20-lap PASS 305 sprint car feature.

Ken Duke of Selinsgrove wrapped up his first career Apache Tree Service 305 sprint car track championship.

The two-day National Open weekend, a first at the track since 1992, concluded the speedway’s 76th anniversary season.

Polesitter Danny Dietrich out-dueled second-place starter Anthony Macri for the early lead at the start of the sprint car main event. For the first laps, Macri tormented Dietrich for the front spot but struggled to find a way around him. On the seventh circuit, Macri powered underneath Dietrich in turn two to take command of the field while third-place starter Brian Brown and fourth-place starter Freddie Rahmer raced in the top five.

At the lap 15 mark, Dietrich reeled in Macri again and on lap 17 pulled a slider in turn two. Dietrich was able to take the lead back for a few seconds until Macri raced back underneath him to reclaim the front spot out of turn two.

The race was red-flagged on lap 20 for a scheduled fuel stop. Under the red flag, Brown’s car developed a flat tire and he was forced to restart on the rear of the field.

When the race resumed, Macri led Dietrich, 10th-place starter Brent Marks, sixth-place starter Daryn Pittman, and Rahmer. The closest battle on the track in the second half of the race was the battle for third between Marks and Pittman.

In the final laps of the race, Dietrich was reeling in Macri, erasing the deficit with each passing lap. At the checkered flag, Macri was victorious by just 1.6 seconds over Dietrich, Pittman, Marks, and Rahmer.

Front row starter Kruz Kepner pulled into the early lead at the start of the 305 sprint car feature and was chased by third-place starter Austin Reed.

Reed took over the front spot on lap three with an outside pass in turn four. He set the pace through lap seven, when sixth-place starter Logan Spahr made the winning pass using the inside lane off turn four.

Kepner attempted to reel in the leader to no avail. Spahr took the checkered flag by two seconds over Kepner, Zach Rhodes, Reed, and Doug Dodson.

60th Champion Racing Oil Williams Grove National Open History Continues This Week,

Diamond Anniversary Race Again Pays $75,000 Top Prize Oct. 1

9/25/22

Mechanicsburg – Sprint car fans in the East will assemble Saturday night to see the Diamond Anniversary running of the Williams Grove Speedway Champion Racing Oil National Open for sprint cars sanctioned by the World of Outlaws Sprint Cars Series, going 40-laps in distance and again paying a gigantic $75,000 to the winner.

The widely acclaimed event will go down in history with a Saturday A-Main total purse alone eclipsing $155,000!

The National Open has a grand history that dates back to its inception and first champion in 1963. It is a history that pre-dates all other season-finale races held anywhere in the East.

Eventual Indianapolis 500 champion Gordon Johncock of Hastings, Mich., won the very first 100-lap affair in a contraption that had what looked like a wing atop its roll cage.

And this too would soon come to pass, as sprint cars would begin taking over dirt tracks in the east, including Williams Grove Speedway.

Ohio USAC standout Larry Dickson scored Open round two in 1964. Western Pennsylvania invader Henry Jacoby of Franklin took 1965.

The name of Blaney graced the National Open winner’s circle in 1966 as family patriarch Lou took Open laurels decades before his sons Dave and Dale would compete on the scene.

Bobbie Adamson, becoming a region name, took back-to-back victories in 1967 and 1968 before a virtual unknown named Gene Varner from Selinsgrove drove a back-up Gary Wasson No. 5 to an upset win in 1969 after a distance of 150 laps.

The decade of the 1970’s dawned with Altoona flyer Johnny Grum picking up the Open win.

The first of three consecutive wins by Midwest transplant Kenny Weld took place in 1971. All three of Weld’s wins came aboard the Bob Weikert No. 29.

Another transplant, The Bandit, Steve Smith Sr., took wins in 1974 and again in a rain-shortened 122-lap race in 1976 while The Original Outlaw, Bobby Allen drove to a win in 1975.

Texas native racing brother Van May took the 1977 version of the National Open before the Pink Panther struck in 1978 with a Kramer Williamson 100-lap win.

That 1978 National Open holds the distinction of technically being the first-ever race to be sanctioned by the World of Outlaws at Williams Grove despite the fact that no outlaws drivers were actually in the field.

All the stars of the WoO circuit were at a race in the western part of the nation on that date but outlaws rules during the series’ formative years stated that any race paying over a certain dollar amount to win would count as a sanctioned race and such is the history.

Smokey Snellbaker drove to victory for Charlie Lloyd in 1979 before the grandson of a coal miner named Lucas, Allen Klinger of Hegins kicked off the 1980’s with a 40-lap victory.

The only National Open to ever carry an All Stars Circuit of Champions sanction took to the track in 1981 when Steve Smith Sr. returned for a third Open triumph.

Lynn Paxton went back-to-back in 1982 and 1983 and stunned the racing world after his second 75-lap win by going into retirement during the off-season.

Three more in a row for owner Bob Weikert came at the hands of South Dakota driver Doug Wolfgang from 1984 – 1986.

Wolfgang got stunned, denied and passed by Bobby Allen’s brother, Joey Allen, for the victory in 1987.

The Mouse, Kenny Jacobs of Holmesville, Ohio, took another win for Weikert in 1988.

The year 1989 found the first true World of Outlaws National Open contested as the yearly sanctioning began with Stevie Smith taking a victory to carry on his father’s tradition.

One of if not the greatest sprint car driver(s) of all time, Hoosier Steve Kinser took his first National Open checkers in 1990.

Stevie Smith returned for another Open win, both for car owner Al Hamilton, in 1991, and now at a distance of 50 laps.

Kinser was again the champion in 1992 before daytime specialist Don Kreitz Jr. drove to victory under the Sunday sun in 1993 after 40 laps of action.

Steve Kinser was again the winner in 1994 before outlaw cousin Mark Kinser took 1995.

The locals went back in front in 1996 with Lance Dewease and No. 461 car owner Walt Dyer.

Sammy Swindell won his first National Open in 1997 on a night that had fans returning to frozen windshields on their cars by the time the race ended.

Persistent rain forced a non-sanctioned event in 1998, won by modified turned sprint star Billy Pauch in a mount owned by John Zemaitis.

Mark Kinser returned for victory in 1999 before one of today’s outlaws stars and champions, Donny Schatz took his first win in 2000 as part of what would become a historic record in National Open competition in another 13 years.

Dewease returned the laurels to the PA Posse turf with back-to-back wins in 2001 and 2002, for car owners Joe Harz and Al Hamilton, taking $25,000 and $30,000, respectively on both accounts.

Steve Kinser was again the winner in 2003 before Schatz returned for two in a row in 2004 and 2005.

The first $50,000 to win National Open was scored by Lancaster’s Doug Esh in 2006 and as it turned out it was the richest and shortest Open in history when rains hit on lap 26 of 40.

Schatz was again the winner in 2007.

Thanks to more persistent rain, another unsanctioned event in 2008 saw future outlaws and All Stars star Cody Darrah drive to victory.

Greg Hodnett took a hugely popular National Open victory for the PA Posse in 2009 driving the Jim and Sandy Kline No. 22.

Sammy Swindell got the second Open win of his career in 2010.

West coast flyer Jason Meyers took the 40-lap, $50,000 laurels in 2011.

The 2012 version saw North Dakota’s Schatz surge for an unprecedented fifth career win in the prestigious classic National Open.

With the $50,000, 40-lap victory, Schatz became the winningest driver in National Open history, breaking a four-win tie with Steve Kinser.

In 2013, the grand career of local driver Fred Rahmer of Salfordville was capped off at Williams Grove with his first and only triumph in the lucrative, prestigious National Open as Rahmer led the final 31 laps of the 40-lap feature before the veteran retired from the sport at the close of the season.

Connecticut driver David Gravel took the $50,000 win in 2014 but not without controversy.

The outlaws flyer was overtaken by local favorite Stevie Smith during the last half of the race before the slightest of contact from a closely following Gravel found Smith spinning in the first turn with six laps to go while Gravel retook command for the victory.

And then Stevie Smith got redemption in what was to be the first three-day National Open in history in 2015.

After three consecutive days of rain stopped the event dead in its tracks, a break with the weather on Sunday allowed a raindated Open to be completed with Smith taking the lead from Danny Dietrich on the ninth tour to lead the final 31 circuits and beat Schatz to the line for victory.

An uncanny three more days of rain and raw weather wiped out a second attempt at a three-day nationals in 2016.

An outlaws make up two weeks later found Danny Dietrich taking the lead from Joey Saldana with two laps to go in the 40-lap affair to score a wildly popular win for the Pennsylvania Posse. Brad Sweet also took a turn at leading the main.

Connecticut’s David Gravel struck for his second $50,000 score in the 2017 National Open. Gravel took the lead from Donny Schatz and then took the lead back from James McFadden to win the 55th Annual affair.

An emotional 2018 event held just days after the tragic death of 2009 National Open champion Greg Hodnett saw local driver Lance Dewease win his fourth career nationals for his fourth different car owner.

Driving for Don Kreitz Jr. in the No. 69K, Dewease wrestled the lead away from Brock Zearfoss with a three-wide move in the second turn on lap 24 to seal the 40-lap deal, worth $56,000. A tearful Dewease dedicated the victory to Hodnett.

Brent Marks of Myerstown won the richest sprint car race in the history of Williams Grove Speedway and the largest cash payoff ever for a sprint car race in the Eastern United States by claiming a $65,000 victory in 2019.

A former regular at the track before going on the road with the World of Outlaws Sprint Cars Series a few years prior, Marks scored the WoO victory by turning back challenges from both Brian Brown who took the lead for a time early and from Daryn Pittman on a last lap restart in the 40-lap affair.

A National Open billed as the biggest sprint car race in the nation went to outlaw Donny Schatz in 2020 as the North Dakotan scored $75,000 for his unrivaled sixth career victory in the event. Schatz was the third and final leader in the hotly contested 40-lapper.

A lap 12 restart saw David Gravel pull the trigger for control over Logan Schuchart but after locking down to the low side in the third and fourth turns, Schatz reeled in Gravel to make a low side, first turn winning move as the leader was entering traffic on lap 21. Kyle Larson come to life after a lap 25 restart and when Schatz entered traffic with seven laps left he closed in for the win. Larson pulled a banzai run through the third and fourth corners as the pair raced to the checkers by blasting the outside line before pulling to Schatz’s outside in turn four however just as it appeared that he would edge in front his mount jumped the cushion.

California’s Carson Macedo won the biggest sprint car race of his career in the 2021 version of the Open when he became the third and final leader in the 40-lap main, overtaking Logan Schuchart for the lead with four laps to go.

Schuchart got control on lap 13 when defending event winner and current leader Brent Marks spun while working traffic. Macedo fought off the challenges of Sheldon Haudenschild for second with 12 laps to go before taking the lead from a struggling Schuchart in traffic.

Admission prices for Saturday’s National Open are $40 for adults and $20 for youth.

And please remember, kids ages 12 and under are always admitted free at Williams Grove Speedway.

Williams Grove National Open Preliminary Has Its Place In History

2022 event to be run September 30

9/25/22

Mechanicsburg - As much as the Champion Racing Oil National Open at Williams Grove Speedway deserves its place in sprint car lore as it celebrates its Diamond Anniversary, 60th running on October 1 with a $75,000 payday, the National Open Preliminary race itself also has a place at the history table.

Although not an annual event, the National Open Preliminary race will hold its head high and celebrate its 35th running on September 30.

The preliminary was first run in 1980 with Keith Kauffman taking the win aboard the Weikert Livestock No. 29.

That preliminary win would be the first of two for Weikert in the race with Doug Wolfgang scoring again a few years later in 1985.

Noted author and television commentator of today, driver Brad Doty of Apple Creek, Ohio was lured East back in 1981 and picked up what would be his first of two career Williams Grove wins in the preliminary before suffering career ending injuries in a racing crash a few years later.

The event has only been lost to weather eight times over the years and on nine occasions the preliminary winner has swept both National Open races, going on to score the coveted big prize a day later.

Sweeps came in 1982, 1985, 1989, 1990, 1995, 1996, 1997, 2011 and in 2017 at the respective hands of Lynn Paxton, Wolfgang, Stevie Smith, Steve Kinser, Mark Kinser, Lance Dewease, Sammy Swindell, Jason Myers and David Gravel.

And that sweep by Paxton in 1982 was surrounded by considerable controversy stemming from the preliminary race.

The Williams Grove record books actually show a tie for the preliminary win between both Paxton and Ohio’s Dave Blaney on September 17.

A young Blaney was leading, headed for his first career Grove win on that night when he ran into mechanical problems as he raced off of the fourth turn toward the checkers.

Veteran Paxton was trailing and gaining fast as Blaney tried to limp home and the scorers documented his No. 10 as crossing the finish line first.

However unrest abounded regarding that decision and a picture of the finish taken at the line produced the next day clearly showed Paxton crossing very close but definitely first.

Thus both drivers were paid for and credited with a victory and Paxton could go on to score the weekend sweep with Grove career wins 38 and 39.

No driver has been able to put up big numbers in the preliminary race over the years unlike within its big brother National Open wherein World of Outlaws driver Donny Schatz is going for an amazing seventh event title in this year’s race.

Rather, in the preliminary no driver holds more than a trio of wins with Kauffman, Steve Kinser and Gravel all holding that distinction.

Before the World of Outlaws began sanctioning the preliminary in 1989, the race was contested once as an All Stars Circuit of Champions contest with Maynard Yingst the winner in 1986.

Today and for many years now the National Open Preliminary at Williams Grove is run as a separate and stand-alone show aside from the Open itself.

However for a number of years as an outlaws race, the top four finishers in the preliminary race were automatically locked into the next night’s National Open.

This was standard procedure under World of Outlaws sanctioning rules for two-day shows for many seasons.

In the 2006 running of the event, Washington state driver Jason Solwold made speedway and outlaws history with a preliminary night win.

Up to that point in outlaws history at the track, every sanctioned race ever run had been scored by either a series regular or a clear member of the home team PA Posse.

Solwold’s drive to victory made him the first true independent driver to ever win a Williams Grove outlaws feature main.

Another piece of history from the National Open preliminary comes from 2018 when the “Fresno Phenom,” Giovanni Scelzi crossed the country for an upset win on September 28.

Scelzi’s victory etched his name in the record books as the youngest driver ever to win a sprint car race at the historic venue at the ripe old age of 16.

In 2021, NASCAR star Kyle Larson stopped at Williams Grove and copped the preliminary before going on to claim the season title on NASCAR’s top circuit.

The 35th running of the 25-lap National Open Preliminary gets underway at 7:30 on September 30.

The winner will receive $10,000.

SELINSGROVE, Pa. – Daryn Pittman of Danville, Ind., returned to Selinsgrove Speedway and his former Heffner Racing Enterprises No. 27 ride to score the win in Friday night’s 25-lap National Open preliminary race for 410 sprint cars.

Pittman’s fourth career 410 sprint car win at the track, his first since 2012, was worth $6,000 and a spot in Saturday night’s redraw for the 40-lap 40th National Open.

Anthony Macri of Dillsburg, who will be seeking his third straight win in the Jim Nace Memorial National Open, was the night’s Fast Tees Fast Qualifier with a lap time of 15.803.

The National Open preliminary event, sponsored by Heister House Millworks & Cabinetry, was a first at the track since 1992.

Dylan Yoder of Middleburg closed out the late model racing season with his third win of the year in the 25-lap main event. Yoder was the only driver this season to visit Victory Lane three times.

Bryan Bernheisel of Lebanon clinched his second career Selinsgrove Ford super late model track championship worth $5,000.

Selinsgrove Speedway is back in action at 7 p.m. this Saturday, Sept. 24, with the Jim Nace Memorial 40th Annual National Open for 410 sprint cars paying $26,000 to win. The PASS 305 sprint cars will join the 410 sprint cars on the final racing card of the 2022 season. Pit and advance ticket holder gates will open at 4 p.m. with all general admission gates opening at 4:30 p.m. Qualifying is slated for 7 p.m.

Pittman started the feature race in the second position and pulled into the lead over polesitter Brian Brown. The caution flag slowed the field on lap two when Mark Smith’s car rolled to a stop in turn.

When the race resumed, Pittman continued to set a blistering pace in front of Brown and third-place starter Anthony Macri. At the completion of lap three, Macri powered into the second position and set his sights on Pittman. A lap later, fifth-place starter Brent Marks also passed Brown to take over third.

By the halfway point, the top three drivers broke away in a close race at the front of the pack. On the 14th circuit, Marks passed Macri for the second spot at the start/finish line and began to reel in Pittman.

On lap 15, Marks pulled a thrilling slider in turn four, only to have Pittman make a dive back underneath him to reclaim the lead. The race was slowed for the second time on lap 17 when Gio Scelzi’s car came to a stop in turn one.

On the final restart, Pittman held off Marks as fourth-place starter Cory Eliason showed some speed by passing Macri for the third postion.

At the checkered flag, Pittman was victorious by 2.5 seconds over Marks, Eliason, Macri and seventh-place starter Devon Borden.

Polesitter Jeff Rine powered into the lead at the start of the super late model feature with second-place starter Mike Lupfer in pursuit. On the third circuit, fifth-place starter Rick Eckert drove by Lupfer for the runner-up spot and quickly gained on Rine.

By lap 10, Eckert was in striking distance of Rine for the lead, and on lap 12 they raced side-by-side. At the halfway point, the leaders encountered traffic with Eckert taking evasive action in turn three and tagging the outside guardrail. The incident caused Eckert to lose the second position to third-place starter Dylan Yoder.

D. Yoder quickly caught Rine and made the winning pass using the inside lane off turn four on lap 17. Two laps later Eckert was back into second only to have his car develop a flat tire on lap 21.

For the final four laps, Yoder held the rest of the field at bay and posted a 1.9-second margin of victory over seventh-place starter Bryan Bernheisel, who made a late-race charged into second. Rine, Brett Schadel, and Coleby Frye rounded out the top five.

Dewease Wins Third In A Row At Williams Grove, Dietrich Puts On A Show

Steve Owings gets first 358 sprint win, Locke claims title

9/23/22

Mechanicsburg – Lance Dewease ran his string of sprint car wins to three in a row at Williams Grove Speedway on Friday night, scoring the Hoosier Diamond Series World of Outlaws Tune Up race worth $6,000.

The victory was his 109th at the oval and his sixth of the season there. It also earned him the 2022 Hoosier Diamond Series title.

In the 358 sprint main, Steve Owings notched his first ever oval win by jetting away off of the front row for the victory.

Danny Dietrich started on the pole of the 25-lap 410 sprint main with Dewease to his outside.

Dietrich beat Dewease off of the bottom to gain control when the race began before switching to the cushion on the third lap.

The leader entered the rear of the field on the seventh lap, which allowed Dewease to close in for control and by lap 13 the pair of leaders was nose to tail.

However a strategic series of laps by Dietrich as circuits 15, 16 and 17 was scored preserved him the lead as he chose each move masterfully to keep Dewease at bay while working his way around the backmarkers.

Going for his fourth win of the season at Williams Grove, Dietrich had broken free of Dewease and seemed headed to the win when his left rear tire disintegrated on lap 23.

This gave control to Dewease as Dietrich rejoined the field in seventh, ahead of all the cars that he had put one lap down.

Also gunning for the 2022 track title, Dietrich hit the hammer when green reappeared and went low on point leader Freddie Rahmer to pass him by in turn one before going three-wide with Dylan Norris and Justin Whittall in the second corner.

Dietrich emerged on the backchute with fourth spot but Norris made contact with Whittall sending Whittall’s No. 67 hard into the outside wall, forcing a red flag.

The new green found Dietrich again on a roll, blasting by Rahmer and TJ Stutts to gain third before running down Lucas Wolfe for second at the finish before falling just short of the spot.

Dewease took the win by 1.544 seconds over Wolfe.

Stutts was fourth and Rahmer finished fifth.

Sixth through 10th went to Norris, Brent Shearer, Bryn Gohn, Rick Lafferty and Robbie Kendall.

Heats went to Dewease, Dietrich and Stutts with Dietrich winning the dash to earn the pole for the main event.

Dewease seat quick time with a lap of 16.665 seconds.

Owings blasted around the cushion of the track to win the 20-lap 358 sprint main.

He entered the rear of the field with a straightaway lead on the eighth lap and Camerson Smith racing second in the field.

The only caution flag of the race unfurled with three laps to go for a stopped Zach Newlin, placing third starter Doug Hammaker on Owings’ tail for the restart.

Hammaker blasted under Owings in the first turn when action resumed and drew even with the leader but Owings cushion prowess saw him zip by into firm command for the final three circuits.

Cameron Smith rebounded for second followed by Hammaker, Wyatt Hinkle and Jay Galloway.

Sixth through 10th went to Chad Criswell, Derek Locke, Kody Hartlaub, Nash Ely and Tyler Brehm.

Heats went to Owings, Galloway, Hammaker and Smith. Cody Fletcher won the consolation race.

With his run, Locke earned the 358 sprint track title which is his third in a row at the oval.

Brent Marks utilizes last lap pass to secure $20,000 Dirt Classic IX at Lincoln Speedway

Saturday, September 24, 2022 (9AM) PA Karting Grand Nationals

Saturday, October 1, 2022 (3PM) AMA Motorcycles, Quads and 600 Xcel Modifieds

Tuesday, October 4, 2022 (6PM) Brian Montieth Classic: $7,000 to win 410 Sprint Only Show [rain date: October 5]

ABBOTTSTOWN, Pa. (September 17, 2022) - The last lap is the only lap that pays, and the “Myerstown Missile” Brent Marks certainly put that mentality to practice on Saturday night at the “Fabulous” Lincoln Speedway, securing his fifth Tezos All Star Circuit of Champions presented by Mobil 1 victory of 2022 with a last lap pass over Dillsburg’s Anthony Macri. A marquee win, to say the least, Marks earned his triumph during Lincoln’s annual Dirt Classic, locking down a $20,000 payday in the process while simultaneously increasing his overall season win total to 17.

Although lining up tenth on the Dirt Classic grid, arranged by a point system that was accumulated over qualifying and double heats, Marks commenced his march to the front right from the drop of the green, actually powering his way to a top-five position with just a quarter of the 40-lapper in the books. Meanwhile, Macri held command, doing everything he could to fend off early race challenges by defending Dirt Classic champion, Justin Peck.

Eventually working his way to third around Cory Eliason, then getting by Justin Peck for second with a slider on lap 34, Marks’ new aim was on Anthony Macri, who continued to work Lincoln’s outer line. It was the main event’s last caution on lap 36, which led to open red conditions, that set up Marks’ eventual takeover.

Working Lincoln’s bottom groove, Marks used the last handful of circuits to inch closer and closer to the No. 39M. By the time the white flag waved, Marks was on Marcri’s tail tank, driving hard into turn one to slide across the nose of the recent Tuscarora 50 champion. The move stuck, securing another crown jewel for the Myerstown, Pennsylvania, native.

Macri held on to finish second, followed by Peck, Buddy Kofoid, and Tyler Courtney.

“I didn’t expect them to open up that last red…I’m usually not a fan of that. It worked out for us tonight,” Marks said, driver of the M&M Painting & Construction/BAPS Auto Paint and Supply/No. 19M. “Man, that was a fun race. The track turned out to be excellent. Just an awesome night and I’m so proud of this team. I was actually pretty disappointed to have to start tenth because there were a lot of good cars ahead of us. I thought the track was going to be too fast to make up any ground, but we did it.”

The All Star Circuit of Champions will continue the 2022 season with a visit to the world-famous Eldora Speedway in Rossburg, Ohio, on Saturday, September 24.

1987 Williams Grove National Open Champion Joey Allen To Be 60th Anniversary Event Guest Of Honor October 1

9/18/22

Mechanicsburg – The champion of the 1987 Williams Grove Speedway National Open, Joey Allen of Hanover will be the guest of honor and honorary starter for the 60th Anniversary event coming up on Saturday, October 1 at the oval.

Allen will unfurl the green flag on the $75,000 to win, 40-lap Williams Grove Champion Racing Oil National Open sanctioned by the World of Outlaws.

The younger Allen brother will also sign autographs and meet fans at the Champion Racing Oil hospitality tent in the infield from 5:45-6:15 pm.

Back in the day when the now 62-year old Allen won his Open, the outlaws didn’t frequent the event and wouldn’t do so until 1989 but Allen wouldn’t have known it considering the drivers he had to beat back then.

“I do remember working my way up and I remember overtaking Wolfgang big time! ‘Cuz you know Wolfie was the one to beat. He was the man to beat,” Allen recalls.

The "Wolfie" he speaks of was none other than national terror Doug Wolfgang of Sioux Falls, South Dakota who was in the midst of another massive season driving for Bob Weikert in the No. 29 in 1987.

Wolfgang had won the race three years running by the time the ’87 version rolled around and he was eyeing up his fourth in a row when Allen got his chance aboard his brother Bob’s No. A1.

“I was stuck in the middle and I could run wide open. The top was giving up and I could run right through the middle. That’s why I won the race,” Allen says.

But it took more to overtake Wolfgang than just a good run though the middle lane.

“I had my hands full toward the end ‘cuz the motor started overheating and I found out my fuel was shutting off so I drove one handed for about 15 laps ‘til I had a yellow flag and then I was able to find a piece of tape and tape the fuel shut off on so it wouldn’t come loose.”

“So then I was able to drive the last 10 laps without having to drive one handed,” he says.

After starting eighth in the field, Allen would win the 75-lap main worth $13,600 over Wolfgang, Dave Blaney, Kenny Jacobs and Stevie Smith.

It was the biggest win of his sprint car career that lasted until the late 1990s.

His brother Bobby scored the prestigious event once, in 1975.

Action at the October 1 Champion Racing Oil National Open begins at 7:30 pm.

Friday night’s preliminary event, paying $10,000 to win, also gets underway at 7:30.

REED, YODER, BRENNEMAN & BISSINGER TAKE WINS

ON PA GAME COMMISSION/FOSS JEWELRS NIGHT;

SPRINT CAR NATIONAL OPEN TO CLOSE OUT SEASON SEPTEMBER 23-24

SELINSGROVE, Pa. – Austin Reed of Etters powered to his first career win at Selinsgrove Speedway in Saturday night’s PA Game Commission “Race To Hunting Season” 25-lap championship race for the PASS 305 sprint cars.

Dylan Yoder of Middleburg became the third driver to repeat a super late model win at the track this year in the division’s 25-lap main event, while Trent Brenneman of Mifflintown scored his first win of the season in the 20-lap limited late model race.

Keith Bissinger of Orangeville was also a first-time winner this year in the 12-lap roadrunner feature.

Selinsgrove Speedway will close out the 2022 season with the two-day 40th National Open for 410 sprint cars Friday and Saturday, Sept. 23-24. Friday night’s race will feature the 410 sprint cars and super late models starting at 7:45 p.m. Saturday night’s finale will be the 40-lap Jim Nace Memorial National Open paying $26,000 to win plus the PASS 305 sprint cars at 7 p.m.

Austin Reed started on the pole for the 305 sprint car championship race and was trailed by second-place starter Erin Statler and sixth-place starter Josh Spicer.

The race’s only caution flag unfurled on lap 17 when Doug Dodson’s car made contact with the guardrail in turns one and two. For the restart, Reed continued to set a torrid pace in front of Spicer while a wheel-to-wheel battle unfolded for third between 10th-place starter Logan Spahr and eighth-place starter Garrett Bard.

At the checkered flag, Reed was victorious by 1.6 seconds over Spicer, Bard, Spahr, and 12th-place starter Christian Rumsey.

Polesitter Dylan Yoder powered into the lead at the start of the super late model feature. D. Yoder was chased by fourth-place starter Andrew Yoder with second-place starter Jim Bernheisel and sixth-place starter Jeff Rine in close pursuit.

Third-place starter Bryan Bernheisel showed some speed at the halfway point after dropping back a few spots on the start and advanced to second. B. Bernheisel became D. Yoder’s most serious challenger to the finish.

At the checkered flag, D. Yoder was victorious by just one second over B. Bernheisel, Rine, A. Yoder, and J. Bernheisel.

Front row starter Trent Brenneman pulled into the lead and wired the field for his victory in the limited late model race but not without serious challenges from polesitter Tommy Slanker and third-place starter Andrew Yoder.

At the halfway point, Brenneman encountered slower traffic and allowed Slanker and A. Yoder to draw closer. On the 11th circuit, A. Yoder took over the second position from Slanker and set his sights on Brenneman.

A caution flag with one lap to race set up a chase to the checkered flag between Brenneman and A. Yoder with Brenneman coming away with the victory by just .86 of a second. A. Yoder settled for second followed by Slanker, Devin Hart, and Shaun Lawton.

A former go kart champion on Selinsgrove’s one-fifth mile track, A. Yoder wrapped up his first track championship on the half-mile track in the limited late model division.

Second-place starter Dan Condo led through lap nine in the roadrunner feature until he drifted high in turns three and four and allowed fifth-place starter Keith Bissinger to make the winning pass.

Condo and fourth-place starter Nate Romig dueled for second only to fall off the pace due to flat tires from contact. At the finish, Bissinger scored the win over Bob Bussey, Scott Dunham, Cory Lindenmuth, and Tom Underwood.

Romig clinched his first career roadrunner track championship.

Lance Dewease Beats All Stars For 7K Dirt Classic Qualifier At Williams Grove, Notches Win 108

9/16/22

Mechanicsburg – Lance Dewease won his second Williams Grove sprint car race in a row on Friday night when he walked off with the All Stars Circuit of Champions Dirt Classic Qualifier, worth $7,000.

The flag to flag victory was the 108th of Dewease’s career at Williams Grove and the ninth of his career in All Stars action at the oval.

The win was also the 88th as a car owner for Don Kreitz Jr., which moves him to within four of tying Al Hamilton for the most victories at the historic oval.

The story of the 30-lap feature seemed to be the crashes that occurred within.

Dewease was only able to log three laps in the main before the red flag appeared for a flipping Justin Peck who vaulted outside of turn four.

The accident happened as Peck raced to the outside of Tyler Courtney while the pair raced for sixth and when Courtney’s car got sideways in the third corner, Peck had nowhere to go but up and over.

The restart saw the red flag again appear, this time for a flipping Rico Abreu as he raced onto the backstretch while running 11th.

Another lap did then get scored before point leader Freddie Rahmer stopped on the frontstretch with a busted front end on his mount.

After Rahmer’s car was removed from the track, Dewease tried to settle into a rhythm with TJ Stutts running second and traffic was just coming into sight for the leader when Bill Balog lost a left rear wheel near the flagstand, sending him into the inside rail.

Following Balog’s bad luck, the last 21 laps of the race went non-stop with Dewease getting into the rear of the field with 12 laps to go.

But the surface was fast and racy with backmarkers proving difficult to bypass.

The leader worked for several laps trying to put Cap Henry a lap down, allowing pursuers Stutts and Brent Marks to close a bit but after finally breaking free of Henry, Dewease was able to get away.

Marks took a shot at Stutts for second and got the spot briefly in the third turn on lap 11 only to see Stutts reclaim the position.

But Marks did finally get by for the spot with two laps to go before finishing 2.319 seconds behind at the checkers.

Stutts rode home third followed by Buddy Kofoid and Danny Dietrich.

Sixth through 10th went to Anthony Macri, Daryn Pittman, Hunter Schuerenberg, Lucas Wolfe and Gio Scelzi.

Heats went to Stutts, Schuerenberg, Marks and Peck with Dewease winning the dash to start on the pole of the feature event.

Steve Buckwalter won the B Main.

Tyler Courtney set fast time over the 33-car field with a lap of 16.409 seconds.

The event was the third for the All Stars at the track in 2022 with local drivers claiming wins in all the races.

With just three races to go in the 2022 point chase at Williams Grove, Danny Dietirch has now taken over second in the standings behind Rahmer and he is within 205 markers of the point lead.

Feature Finish

9/16/22

410 sprint cars, 30 laps: 1. Lance Dewease, 2. Bent Marks, 3. TJ Stutts, 4. Buddy Kofoid, 5. Danny Dietrich, 6. Anthony Macri, 7. Daryn Pittman, 8. Hunter Schuerenberg, 9. Lucas Wolfe, 10.

The field lined up for a complete restart with Yoder shooting out to the lead. Lawler looked to the outside of Yoder for the lead which left the door open for Bryan Bernheisel to take second.

Trever Feathers brought out the caution on lap 1 when he stopped on the front stretch. Bernheisel, Lawler, Coleby Frye and Jason Covert lined up behind Yoder for the restart. The caution flag flew again on the restart when Bernie Beard spun in turn 1.

Covert got under Frye coming out of turn 2 for fourth and went to work on Lawler for third. Covert had the advantage going into turn 3 to take the spot on lap 4.

The yellow flag flew again on lap 7 when Travis Horan stopped in turn 4. The top five for the restart were Yoder, Bernheisel, Covert, Lawlor and Frye.

Yoder led Bernheisel, Covert, Frye and Knaub for the restart. Knaub challenged Frye for fourth with Knaub taking the spot by inches on lap 11. Frye reclaimed fourth on lap 12 after passing Knaub on the back stretch.

Matt Murphy slowed on the back stretch on lap 16 bringing out the yellow.

Frye was looking for third and got out of shape but kept going and held onto fourth. Tyler Emory made his way into the top 5 on lap 20 after getting by Knaub.

Yoder found himself in lapped traffic on lap 24 and held the lead as he worked his way through traffic.

The caution came out on lap 30 when Scott Sweeney did a 360 spin in turn 4, making contact with Larry Neiderer.

The top five for the final restart of the race were Yoder, Bernheisel, Covert, Frye and Emory. Emory got a nose under Frye on the restart but Frye held on to fourth. Gary Stuhler took a look under Emory for fifth and had the spot coming out of turn 2, Stuhler held on and took fifth by inches at the line on lap 34.

Stuhler was running the bottom and challenged Frye for fourth. Stuhler had the spot by a nose on lap 38 but Frye took it back the following lap.

Dylan Yoder’s first Lincoln Speedway win came 1.925 seconds over Bernheisel. Covert crossed the line third and Frye was fourth. Stuhler completed the top five.

Eric Walker Wires Wingless Super Sportsman Field for Victory

Pole-sitter Trent Yoder and Eric Walker were wheel to wheel going into turn 1 when the green flag dropped on the 20-lap feature. Walker had the advantage at the line to lead lap 1. Kevin Gutshall was up to third from his fifth starting spot.

Billy Brian and Tom Savage battled side by side for fourth with Savage holding the spot. The caution came out on lap 4 when Blake Brooks stopped in turn 3 and Michael Smith was stopped in turn 2.

Matt Cisney raced his way into the top five on lap 6. Steve Wilbur reeled Cisney in to challenge him for the spot.

Walker was pulling away from the field at the halfway-point.

Brian got back by Gutshall for third and started to reel in Yoder to battle for second. Brian took the runner-up spot on lap 14.

Lapped traffic loomed ahead of Walker with three laps to go. Brian was cutting into Walker’s lead but did not have enough time to make a move.

Walker scored his first career Lincoln win by 1.299 seconds over Brian. Gutshall was third and Cliff Brian Jr. was fourth. Yoder crossed the line fifth.

Tyler Knaub Scores Extreme Stock Win

Tyler Knaub started on the pole of the 20-lap feature and took the lead when the green flag waved with Jason Townsend challenging for the top spot. The caution came out on the first lap when Townsend spun in turn 4 as he battled for the lead.

Brian Walls moved up to the front row for the complete restart. Sam Rial was up to third from this fifth starting spot to challenge Walls for second. Rial took the spot on lap 2. Lap 2 also saw the yellow flag for debris on the back stretch.

Knaub led Rial, Walls, Donnie Broderick and Marshall McMullen for the restart. Rial took the lead on lap 4 and left Knaub to hold off a Walls who was looking for second.

Rial was pulling away from the field as multiple side by side battles for position ensued behind him. Lap 7 saw a caution for Jim Rost.

The top five for the restart were Rial, Knaub, Walls, McMullen and Bob Scott Jr.

Knaub and Walls continued their battle for second. Knaub would inherit the lead on lap 9 when the caution came out for the leader, Rial. Rial’s car was blowing smoke and he took his car to the pits, ending his night.

Knaub led Scott, Walls, Broderick and McMullen to the cone for the single-file restart. As the field came to the cone, rain started to fall. Scott got under Knaub to challenge for the lead and took it on lap 10. The caution came out on lap 11 when Doughtrey stopped on the front stretch. The rain was coming down harder and track officials sent the cars to the pits for a delay.

When the field lined up for the restart after the weather delay it was Scott, Knaub, Walls, McMullen and Patrick McClane at the front.

Knaub looked under Scott to challenge for the lead but Scott held the spot. Townsend was back up to fifth after having to restart at the rear after his first lap mishap.

Once again Knaub reclaimed the lead after a misfortune by the leader. Scott stopped on the track while leading on lap 14, bringing out the caution. Knaub led Walls, McMullen, Townsend and McClane for the restart.

Shane McQuay got by McClane to get into the top 5 on lap 17. Right after finding his way into the top 5, McQuay spun in turn 1 on lap 18 bringing out the caution. Will Long, Jordan Fulton and Jim Rost Jr. were also collected.

The top five for the final restart were Knaub, Walls, Townsend, McMullen and Scott. Scott looked under McMullen and McQuay made it a three-car battle for fourth.

Knaub got to the checkered flag .968 seconds ahead of Walls for the win. Townsend crossed the line third and Scott was fourth. McMullen completed the top five.

Robbie Carroll Bests 50-car Limited Stock Field for Win

Shannon Weaver bested pole-sitter Robbie Carroll when the green flag dropped to lead lap 1. Brian Racine and Chris Anderson battled for fourth with Racine keeping the spot. Matt Chronister came to a top in turn 4 on lap 5 bringing out the caution.

Weaver led Carroll, Terry Hartlaub, Racine and Anderson for the restart. Carroll was on Weaver’s bumper and the two were wheel-to-wheel coming out of turn 4 but Weaver held the spot. Racine was working on Hartlaub for third while Carroll continued to put pressure on Weaver.

Matt Chronister stopped on the front stretch on lap 12 bringing out the yellow flag.

Hartlaub got his nose under Carroll on the restart but could not make the pass. The caution flag came out again on lap 14 when Justin Oberlin stopped on the front stretch.

Carroll got to the outside of Weaver on the restart to challenge for the lead. They raced wheel to wheel down the back stretch with Carroll taking the lead by half a car length at the line on lap 16. Just after losing the lead, Weaver had a right front tire issue which brought out the caution and ending his night. Hartlaub, who had been running third, stopped in the top of turns 1 and 2.

Carroll led Racine, Anderson, Travis Brown and Brandon Hoffner for the final restart. Anderson looked to the inside of Racine and Brown took that as an opportunity to pounce and took third on lap 17.

Racine was running with Carroll but there was not enough time to make a pass for the lead. The top five were Carroll, Racine, Anderson, Brown and Hoffner.

All Stars Diamond Series Dirt Classic Qualifier This Week At Williams Grove

Can the All Stars reach the podium?

9/11/22

Mechanicsburg – The last match-up of the season between the Pennsylvania Posse and the All Star Circuit of Champions Sprint Cars at Williams Grove Speedway is set for this Friday night, September 16 at 7:30 pm.

Presented by Land O’ Lakes, Friday night will feature the Hoosier Diamond Series Dirt Classic Qualifier for the competing factions paying $7,000 to the winner.

The winner of the 30-lap main will earn a guaranteed starting spot in the September 17 Dirt Classic at nearby Lincoln Speedway.

The mid-September special will be a “410 sprint only” racing program.

So far this season in three All Stars main events run at the oval, the Posse drivers have swept the All Stars with Brent Marks scoring in April before Danny Dietrich won both twin 20s in August.

In both of the twin 20s, All Stars point leader Tyler Courtney of Indianapolis, Indiana, had front row starting spots but he failed to capitalize.

Courtney's best finish at the track this season has been a fourth, back in April.

Currently second in All Stars points, Justin Peck has a pair of fourth place finishes on the season at the Grove in All Stars action.

All three fourths for the pair represent the highest finishes the All Stars have been able to muster at the track this year.

And so the All Stars will have some work to do against the Posse on Friday as they try to reclaim a spot on the podium before the season is finished.

Peck is likely to be the best bet for a top spot by the All Stars in the show.

Top Posse contenders will be Danny Dietrich, Lance Dewease and Anthony Macri.

Leading speedway points with a total of four races to go on the season, Freddie Rahmer is still trying to get a win at the Grove this year and it's likely he will get the job accomplished.

Adult general admission for September 16 is set at $25 with youth ages 13-20 admitted for just $10 while kids ages 12 and under are always admitted for FREE at Williams Grove Speedway.

Keep up to date on all the latest speedway news and information by visiting the oval’s official website located at www.williamsgrove.com and by following the track on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.

Freddie Rahmer will be trying to wrap up the third track title of his career in the races.

Carson Macedo of Lemoore, California is the defending Champion Racing Oil National Open winner.

Anthony Macri Drives From 19th to Score Record $60,000 Tuscarora 50 with All Stars

By Justin Snyder

Port Royal Speedway- PORT ROYAL, PA- (September 11, 2022)- As every season has passed and Anthony Macri has prgressed as a driver, the common question amongst racing fans each season at Port Royal has always been the same thing.

"When is he going to win the Tuscarora 50?"

Well, it finally happened. On a night that saw 'The Concrete Kid' fight adversity in the form of a wreck in his heat race following setting $1200 Packer's Concessions, LLC. and Tedd Reitz Quick time, Macri stormed forward from the 19th starting position to claim the $60,000 prize and the 55th Annual Tuscarora 50 presented by Ramsey's Car Wash and Garage and presented by Packer's Concessions trophy.

"Man, I don't know what to say...I'm pretty spe3echless right now," said Macri. "What happened there in the heat with Brian Brown was just a racing deal. I was actually crying and acting like a little girl in the lounge thinking that I threw the whole night away.

"These guys never gave up on me, and I figured I wouldn't give up on them in the feature. I kind of lit a fire under my butt and just tried to pass as many cars as I could."

Cale Thomas and Danny Dietrich led the field of 26 410 Sprint Cars to the green flag and it was Dietrich getting the initial jump on the field off the outside of turn two to lead the opening lap. Thomas, Bill Balog, Brent Marks, and Gio Scelzi settled into the rest of the top five.

12th-place starter Gerard McIntyre Jr. was the man on the move during the opening five laps, as he moved into the fifth position with 45 laps remaining in the 50-lap spectacular. However, 10th-place starter Cory Eliason came to a slow on the backstretch to bring out the caution and halt momentum.

When the field returned to green, Marks started to make his move as he got by Balog for the final podium position. Eighth-place starter Logan Wagner also cracked the top five for the first time as well, before giving the spot back to McIntyre.

McIntyre continued his Cinderella run to the front of the pack as he moved into 10th with 40 laps remaining, while Macri first made himself known to fans and competitors as he cracked the top ten on the same lap.

Over the next four laps, Marks moved past both McIntyre and Thomas for the runner-up spot, while McIntyre and Wagner also got by Thomas for third and fourth respectively. With two laps remaining before the planned lap 20 break, the leaders were all under a blanket.

Marks attempted to pass Dietrich for the top spot to hold the point at the break, by ultimately Dietrich held on before the caution flag flew. Marks, McIntyre, Wagner, Justin Whittall, Thomas, Macri, Lance Dewease, Balog and Gio Scelzi rounded out the top ten.

Following a 10 minute stoppage for adjustments and the ability to change a tire, the field returned to green flag action and it was again Dietrich holding court up front. Meanwhile, behind him it was Wagner making waves as he went fourth to second through the middle of turns one and two to grab the runner-up spot.

Marks briefly took the spot back coming to the line, but Wagner took charge the following lap and set his sights on Dietrich in attempt to earn his second consecutive Tuscarora 50 title.
It only took five laps for Wagner to power his way to the front of the field, as he capitalized on a minor slip up by Dietrich to take the point and quickly opened things up. Within two laps Wagner had approached the tail end of the field and had lapped traffic to maneuver.

However, an ugly wreck between Dylan Cisney, Freddie Rahmer and Zeb Wise brought out the red flag. Cisney's car engulfed in flames and it was both Wagner and Dietrich getting out of their car and coming to Cisney's aid, along with the track fire crew, to ensure the fire was put out. All drivers would walk away safely, but not return to the field.

The restart proved beneficial to Marks as he got around Dietrich for the runner-up spot, while Macri cracked the top five for the first time of the night with 20 laps to go. It only took two more laps for Macri to get by Mcintyre for fourth, while Dietrich got back by Marks for the runner-up spot.

With 14 laps remaining Macri cruised around Marks for the final podium spot and two laps later he got by Dietrich for second. He set his sights on Wagner up front and was cutting into his lead, but the caution flew with 10 laps to go for a slowing Tyler Reeser in turn four.

Only ten laps separated Wagner from capping off another track championship season with a $60,000 payday, but Macri had other ideas. When the field went back to green, it only took three turn's for Dillsburg, Pa. ace to slide by Wagner for the top spot and from there it was all smooth sailing.

Marks got by Dietrich for third on the same lap and one lap later he dispatched of Wagner for second. Dietrich would follow suit for the final podium spot, but everyone was living in Macri's fairytale run to the front as he cruised home to the checkered flag and the record $60,000 payday.

The win was Macri's fifth in the last six All Star Circuit of Champions sanctioned events at Port Royal and brought the fans to their feet in a history making moment. He was joined by sponsors, Jim and Sandy Kline, in victory lane as well. It was the Kline's who earlier in the week announced with the track promotional team that they were kicking in an additional $5000 to up the winner's share form $55,000 to $60,000.

Marks and Dietrich rounded out the podium, followed by Justin Whittall and Wagner. Lance Dewease, Brian Brown, McIntyre, Thomas and Balog rounded out the top ten. Macri earned the $500 Valley Supply Hard Charger award, while Kyle Moody scored the $1000 Warrior Award presented by J&S Classics with a random draw of 17. Moody capitalized on last season's win in the non-qualifier feature to score a spot in the field and the additional money.

Sye Lynch scored the $2000 non-qualifier victory this season after using a late race pass of Jeff Halligan in turn's three and four through the middle. The win guarantees Lynch a spot in next season's Tuscarora 50 and was essentially a $4000 to win event with next year's race guaranteeing at least $2000 to start.

Logan’s father, Mike Wagner, sits second in the standings and trails by 150 markers. Jeff Halligan (-300), Dylan Cisney (-745) and Justin Whittall (-915) complete the rest of the top-five.

However, in the Krill Recycling Super Late Model division the battle for the championship is one of the closest battles in recent memory. Colton Flinner currently sits atop the standings by a mere 40-point margin over Gary Stuhler. Chad Myers (-600), Jason Schmidt (-885), and Mike Lupfer (-1095) complete the top-five.

Finally, the three-race weekend ends with the most anticipated event of the year, the Tuscarora 50. The crown-jewel event is the highest paying race on the All Star Circuit of Champions schedule and has been won by the who’s who of drivers over its 55 years of being held.

There will also a full purse paying non-qualifier feature held on Saturday with the winner receiving $2000 and a guaranteed starting spot for next year’s event. Kyle Moody earned the win and spot last season and is already locked into Saturday’s finale as a result. Driver’s not participating in the non-Qualifier event will receive $300 tow money, while those who run the event are guaranteed at least $450.

Last year Logan Wagner picked up his first career Tuscarora 50 title as he held off seven-time event champion, Lance Dewease, in an instant classic that saw Dewease fighting an oil leak and a late-race pass by Wagner.

SELINSGROVE SPEEDWAY

: 4 September 2022

BROWN SCORES SECOND CAREER SELINSGROVE SPRINT CAR WIN;

ECKERT WIRES FIELD FOR SECOND LATE MODEL KEISTER MEMORIAL VICTORY;

JONES EDGES OUT BISSINGER FOR THRILLING ROADRUNNER WIN

SELINSGROVE, Pa. – Brian Brown of Grain Valley, Mo., made his annual trek to central Pennsylvania for the big fall races and quickly cracked the Winner’s Circle in Sunday night’s Selinsgrove Ford 25-lap main event for the 410 sprint cars at Selinsgrove Speedway.

The $5,500 win was Brown’s second career at the track and makes him an automatic qualifier for the Sept. 24 $26,000-to-win Jim Nace Memorial National Open, a race he won in his first-ever start at the speedway in 2017.

Rick Eckert of York won his second race of the season at the track in the 25-lap Ron Keister Memorial for super late models. He earned $11,052 for his second win in the tribute race and 10th overall career win at Selinsgrove.

Jake Jones of Hunlock Creek edged out Keith Bissinger of Orangeville by inches for his seventh win of the season in the thrilling 12-lap roadrunner race.

Selinsgrove Speedway returns to racing action at 6 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 17, with the PA Game Commission “Race To Hunting Season” championship race for the PASS 305 sprint cars plus super late models, limited late models, and roadrunners on Foss Jewelers Night.

Polesitter Lucas Wolfe powered into the early lead at the start of the sprint car feature. Wolfe was chased by second-place starter Brian Brown. Third-place starter Freddie Rahmer performed a great save in turn three when his car got sideways momentarily, which allowed fourth-place starter Danny Dietrich to advance to third.

Sixth-place starter Anthony Macri used the highline of the track to drive into the third position on lap six. Approaching the halfway point, Brown closed in on Wolfe in a race for the lead. The caution flag unfurled on lap 12 for Jeff Miller.

On the lap 13 restart, Brown made a dive to the inside of Wolfe entering turn one and came out of turn two with the lead. With 10 laps remaining, Brown began to stretch his lead over Wolfe, Macri, Dietrich, and fifth-place starter Justin Whittall.

The race’s final caution flag unfurled on lap 18 when Mark Smith’s car fell off the pace. On the final restart, Macri horsepowered his way into second and set his sights on Brown but ran out of laps.

Brown took the checkered flag 2.15 seconds ahead of Macri, Dietrich, Wolfe, and Rahmer.

Front row starter Rick Eckert beat out polesitter Brett Schadel for the early lead in the Ron Keister Memorial for super late models. By the completion of the first lap, fourth-place starter Jeff Rine got by Schadel for the second spot.

Mason Zeigler’s car developed a flat tire on lap 11 and brought out the caution flag. When the race resumed, Eckert continued to set a torrid pace over Rine. With 10 laps to go, third-place starter Jim Bernheisel, who fell back a few spots, showed some speed and began to pressure Rine for the runner-up position.

On a lap 15 restart, J. Bernheisel passed by Rine for second only to have Rine secure the position again on lap 21. In the final laps Eckert stretched his lead and posted a four-second margin of victory over Rine, J. Bernheisel, Schadel, and seventh-place starter Coleby Frye.

Polesitter Jake Jones dueled for the lead and win for much of the roadrunner race with fourth-place starter Keith Bissinger while second-place starter Matt Ney raced a close third.

At the halfway point of the race, sixth-place starter Levi Vial became a threat when he moved into the third position. With two laps to go, Bissinger pulled into the lead only to have Jones reclaim the front spot.

Racing side-by-side down the frontstretch for the checkered flag, Jones narrowly edged out Bissinger for the victory. Vial, Ney, and points leader Nate Romig completed the top five.

FREDDIE RAHMER CLINCHES THIRD TRACK CHAMPIONSHIP WITH ELIJAH HAWKINS MEMORIAL WIN; Wyatt Hinkle Wires Field in 358 Feature; Travis Perry’s Late Race Heroics Lands Him in Victory Lane

Saturday, September 10, 2022 (7:30PM) BOBBY RUDISILL MEMORIAL presented by Conewago Enterprises: Super Late Models, Wingless Sportsman, Extreme Stocks & Limited Stocks (ARCH Night)

Saturday, September 17, 2022 (7PM) Dirt Classic IX presented by Schmuck Lumber Company [rain date: Sunday, September 18]

Saturday, September 24, 2022 (9AM) PA Karting Grand Nationals

Abbottstown, PA (September 3, 2022) – With his win on Saturday night Freddie Rahmer clinched his third consecutive track championship. Rahmer started the night setting quick time over the 22-car field with a lap of 13.328 seconds. Freddie made the redraw and started on the pole of the 35-lap feature, “I wish I wouldn’t have started on the pole I’d rather see the pace of the race and be able to move around more.” Troy Wagaman challenged Rahmer for the lead and after the two were wheel to wheel at the line on lap 19, Wagaman used the bottom line to get by Rahmer in turn 1, “Troy showed his nose in lapped traffic there and I figured I had to change it up.” The red flag came out before the lap was completed with Rahmer maintaining the top spot. Rahmer’s win was his sixth of the season at Lincoln, “We got fortunate enough to win that one there. I don’t think we were real good. I didn’t know where to be on the racetrack.” The race paid $7,000 to win and Rahmer earned extra bonus money for leading laps 6, 9 and 12 thanks to the Hawkins family, “Really appreciate everything they did and looking forward to it again next year.”

Utilizing the PA Speedweek format, a redraw lined up the front of the field for Saturday night’s Elijah Hawkins Memorial 35-lap feature. After setting quick time and qualifying for the feature through his heat, Freddie Rahmer drew the pole position in the redraw. Tim Glatfelter drew the number 2 pill, putting him on the outside of the front row.

Rahmer took the lead and ran high in turns 1 and with Glatfelter searching the bottom around the turns.

Troy Wagaman went to the outside of Chad Trout for third and took the spot. Dylan Norris was challenging Trout for fourth and took the spot on lap 2.

Rahmer was pulling away from the field and closing in on lapped traffic when the yellow flag came out on lap 4 for Aaron Bollinger who spun in turn 4.

The top five for the restart were Rahmer, Glatfelter, Wagaman, Norris and Trout.

Rahmer had a good restart and Wagaman was all over Glatfelter for second and took the runner up spot coming out of turn 4. Norris looked to follow and got under Glatfelter to take third at the line on lap 6.

Wagaman was not far behind Freddie as they both ran the high line around the track. Lapped traffic loomed ahead as Wagaman reeled in Rahmer. The red flag came out when Domenic Melair flew through the air in turns 1 and 2 on lap 10.

Rahmer led Wagaman, Norris, Trout and Glatfelter for the restart. Rahmer drove through the middle of 1 and 2 and Wagaman was right there with him. Glatfelter got by Trout to reclaim fourth on the restart.

Rahmer could not shake Wagaman. Troy was sticking with him as they closed in on lapped traffic yet again. Wagaman used the bottom line to keep pace with Rahmer. The two raced side by side for the lead at the line on lap 19. As the leaders raced into turn 1 Rahmer made contact with Chris Arnold, a lapped car, sending Arnold for a wild ride bringing out the red flag.

Rahmer had the lead for the restart with Wagaman, Norris, Glatfelter and Cory Haas lined up behind him. Rahmer went to the bottom to take Wagaman’s fast line away on the restart. With Wagaman forced to go high it allowed Norris to stick with him.

Haas drove by Glatfelter down the back stretch to take fourth on lap 21. Trout got back by Glatfelter for fifth. Haas was up to fourth but pulled in on lap 23. Chase Dietz was up to fifth from 16th starting spot on lap 24 and was working on Trout for fourth.

Rahmer encountered lapped traffic again on lap 28. Wagaman was closing in with five laps to go as Rahmer worked through heavy lapped traffic. Bollinger stopped on the front stretch bringing out the caution on lap 32.

Rahmer led Wagaman, Norris, Trout and Dietz to the cone for the late-race restart. Rahmer had a solid start and would go on to win the $7,000 Elijah Hawkins Memorial by 1.602 seconds over Wagaman. Norris finished third. Dietz was the hard charger driving through the field from 16th to fourth. Chad Trout completed the top five.

Wyatt Hinkle Wires Field in 358 Feature

Wyatt Hinkle and Jordan Strickler shared the front row of the 20-lap feature. Hinkle took the lead when the green flag dropped but the yellow came out before a lap was completed when Jake Eldreth spun in turn 2.

The field lined up for a complete restart. Once again Hinkle took the lead at the start. This time the red flag came out on the first lap when Jordan Strickler and CJ Tracy flipped in turn 1. Cameron Smith, Justin Foster, Steve Owings and Jeff Rohrbaugh were also involved.

The third time was the charm for the start of the race. Hinkle took the lead again on the third attempt with David Holbrook running second and Frankie Herr third. Herr slid Holbrook in turn 4 to take second, Nat Tuckey followed and took third. Chris Frank entered the mix and was in third on lap 2. Holbrook, Tuckey, Kody Hartlaub and Logan Rumsey raced for fourth with Tuckey holding the spot. Frank got by Herr for second.

Lapped traffic loomed ahead of Hinkle at the halfway point. Hinkle found himself in heavy lapped traffic on lap 13 with Frank closing in. Hartlaub reeled in Herr for third with 5 laps to go. Frank got his nose under Hinkle in turn 1 on lap 16 but did not make the pass. Hartlaub got by Herr for third on lap 17.

Hinkle scored his fourth career Lincoln Speedway victory by getting to the checkered flag .965 seconds ahead of Frank. Hartlaub crossed the line third and Herr was fourth. Holbrook completed the top five.

Travis Perry’s Late Race Heroics Lands Him in Victory Lane

Shaun Abney and Mike Racine made up the front row of the Legends 20-lap feature on Saturday night. Abney and Racine raced wheel to wheel with Devon Friese making it a three-car battle for the lead. Abney led lap 1 with Racine in second and Travis Perry up to third.

A 10-car pile up on lap 1 brought out the red flag. Cody Altland flipped coming out of turn 2 and the other cars involved were Lincoln and Seth Kearchner, Logan Carbaugh, Scott Spidle, Justin Wagaman, Quinn Trimmer, Joshua Schrum, Jeremy Ott and Richie Dobson.

The top five for the restart were Abney, Racine, Perry, Friese and Travis McClelland.

Perry got by Racine for second and stuck his nose under Abney for the lead but did not make the pass. Friese and McClelland were battling wheel to wheel for fourth. Perry and Racine raced side by side for second on lap 5.

Bill Diehl, McClelland and Racine raced three-wide for third with McClelland taking the spot. Abney barely held on to the lead on lap 8. Perry took the top spot on lap 9.

McClelland got by Abney for second and Diehl followed for third. McClelland reeled in Perry to battle for the lead and the two raced wheel to wheel down the back stretch.

McClelland got by Perry to take the lead on lap 13 right before the caution came out for Friese who had spun in turn 1.

McClelland led Perry, Diehl, Abney and Stephen Wurtzer for the restart. Perry looked to the outside over McClelland but McClelland pulled away. Wurtzer got by Abney for fourth. Perry was back putting pressure on McClelland for the lead as Wurtzer continued his charge to the front, getting by Diehl for third.

In a thrilling finish, Perry took the lead coming out of turn 4 on the last lap, beating McClelland to the checkered flag by only .024 seconds. Wurtzer crossed the line third and Diehl was fourth. Chris Transeau finished fifth.

Gregg Satterlee and Spike Moore Score Big Paydays as Part of 19th Annual Butch Renninger Memorial. Devon Borden Finds Victory Lane for New Team

By- Justin Snyder

Port Royal Speedway - PORT ROYAL, Penn- (September 4, 2022)- Gregg Satterlee capitalized on a front-row starting spot to pick up his record fourth ULMS Racing Series Butch Renninger Memorial RaceSaturday night over Michael Norris, Austin Berry, Rick Eckert and Alex Ferree.

The win was Satterlee’s second of the season at the Speedway and was worth a race-record $7,333 in memory of the legendary Renninger.

Satterlee lined up from the pole position alongside of Berry and it was Satterlee getting the early jump to lead the opening lap. Third-place starter, Ferree, settled into the runner-up spot followed by Berry, Norris and Eckert.

Little changed over the opening 11 laps of the 33-lap feature event, until Jared Miley came to a slow exiting turn two to bring out the caution.

While Satterlee remained steady up front following the return to green-flag action, Berry was the benefactor of the restart as he slid by Ferree for the runner-up spot.

Eighth-place starter, Gary Stuhler, moved into the fifth position on the restart as well, while ninth-place starter Colton Flinner moved to sixth.

It only took two more laps for Norris to dispatch of Ferree for the final podium spot and the driver of the No. 72 set his sights on Berry. Just past the halfway mark Norris made his move on Berry for the runner-up position and with 10 laps to go the margin between him and Satterlee was just 1.138 seconds.

Norris closed the gap several times over the final ten circuits, but Satterlee kept opening the distance throughout lapped traffic.

When the checkered flag dropped, Satterlee held a 1.552 advantage over Norris and the only thing left to do was to take a trip to victory lane to celebrate with the Renninger family.

Flinner, Stuhler, fast-time award winner Hayes Mattern, Mason Zeigler and Tyler Emory completed the top ten. Ross Robinson finished 14th after starting 20th on the grid to earn the night’s Georges Used Cars Hard Charger Award.

Several other driver incentives were paid out thanks to various sponsors and the hard work and dedication of the Renninger family.

Spike Moore shocked the local Selinsgrove Ford Limited Late Model field of cars to pick up his first career Port Royal Speedway victory over Dillan Stake, Andrew Yoder, Trent Brenneman and Devin Hart.

The Limited Late Model Butch Renninger Memorial victory was worth $4,333, which was the second highest paying winner’s share for the event in the history of the event.

Stake and Matt Parks lined up on the front-row for the event and it was Stake getting the jump on the field. However, it only took two turns for Moore to make his presence known as he jumped from his third starting position to claim the lead on the opening lap.

That was all Moore needed as he cruised the rest of the way. Stake stayed steady behind and was ready to pounce at any mistake, but Moore made all the rights moves through lapped traffic on the way to the victory.

Yoder and Hart put on a great battle behind the front two for the final podium position, and it was ultimately Yoder grabbing the position.

Shawn Shoemaker, Justin Kahn, Parks, Daulton Bigler and DJ Myers completed the top ten. 12th-place starter Kenny Yoder scored the Dedicated Nursing Associates $100 Hard Charger Award, while the Renninger family handed out multiple contingency awards courtesy of various sponsors throughout the night.

Devon Borden scored his second career Weikert’s Livestock 410 Sprint Car victory in dominating fashion over Danny Dietrich, Justin Whittall, Lance Dewease and Brian Brown.

The win was worth an increased $5000 as part of the Juniata County Fair opener and the feature event went non-stop.

Rick Lafferty and Borden lined up on the front-row, but it was third-place starter, Brian Brown, using an inside move in turn’s three and four to pull ahead of Borden by a nose coming to the flagstand on the opening circuit.

Sixth-place starter, Danny Dietrich, moved into the top five on lap three, while Whittall got by Borden for the runner-up spot as well. Dietrich continued his march forward as he took fourth on lap five and two laps later Brown was busy in lapped traffic up front.

The lapped traffic allowed both Whittall and Borden to close fast and by lap 10 the three were all under a blanket on the track. Borden got by both Whittall and Brown one lap later to take the top spot.

Dietrich moved past Brown for the final podium spot one lap later, while Borden had already opened up a 1.850 second advantage over Whittall. With ten laps remaining, Borden had stretched the lead to 4.057.

Whittall cut the distance nearly in half with six laps remaining, but he gave up the runner-up spot to Dietrich with four laps to go. That was as close as he’d get though, as Borden crossed under the checkered flag to give his new Shuttlesworth-Stehman Racing their first win as a team.

Dylan Cisney charged forward from 18th to sixth to earn the Valley Supply $500 Hard Charger Award while Blane Heimbach, Mike Walter, Lafferty and Mike Wagner completed the top ten. 11th-place finisher Jeff Halligan earned the $1000 J&S Classics Warrior Award via random draw.

Dewease Scores For Old Car Owner In Grove Harz Tribute Race, Locke Locks Up 358 Sprint Match Race

9/2/22

Mechanicsburg – Lance Dewease won one for his old No. 88H car owner Joe Harz at Williams Grove Speedway on Friday night, taking the Joe Harz Tribute Race for 410 sprints worth $6,000.

In other action, the Match Race for 358 sprints went to Derek Locke for his third oval win of the season.

Dewease started the 25-lap Harz Tribute on the pole flanked by Lucas Wolfe and when the green flag dropped Dewease drove into the lead with Wolfe and sixth starter Brian Brown in tow.

Danny Dietrich started fifth in the field and got by Brown on the second lap before going to work on Wolfe.

He first got around Wolfe in turn three on the sixth tour only to see Wolfe reclaim the spot before Dietrich made the move stick a lap later as the leader began working the rear of the field.

After sweeping the twin 20’s a week earlier and overtaking Dewease for the second win, it looked like it may again be Dietrich’s night and it may happen again to the chagrin of Dewease.

After getting into second, Dietrich cut six-tenth of a second off of the leader’s advantage and he was drastically biting into the rest of Dewease’s lead when the caution flag unfurled on lap 10.

The caution turned red when fire erupted on Austin Bishop’s machine.

When action resumed and with clear track, Dewease changed his line around the speedway and took to the middle groove on the restart allowing himself to get away from Dietrich.

However Dietrich kept pace and when the leader again entered the rear of the field on lap 16, he again began biting into Dewease’s advantage.

But another untimely caution with six laps to go again cleared the track and Dewease pulled away to the win at the new green.

The victory was the fourth for Dewease and his Don Kreitz- owned team at the track this season and it was his 107th at the oval overall in his career.

Dietrich was second followed by Wolfe, Brown and Chase Dietz.

Sixth through 10th went to Freddie Rahmer, TJ Stutts, Devon Borden, Chad Trout and Tyler Ross.

Heats went to Wolfe, Dietrich and Brown.

Dewease set quick time with a lap of 16.925 seconds.

Polesitter Matt Findley led just the first circuit of the 25-lap Match Race for 358 sprints before Derek Locke took over for what would be the $2,021 win.

Matt Findley challenged Locke for the lead on a lap two restart only to see Locke pull away out of the second turn.

Sixth starter Cody Fletcher took second from Findley with 15 laps to go but failed to challenge Locke.

Doug Hammaker started 10th in the field and worked the top of the speedway to get up to third and challenge for second briefly.

Kody Hartlaub was fourth followed by Findley.

Sixth through 10th went to Chris Frank, Wyatt Hinkle, Chad Criswell, Matt Campbell and Tyler Brehm.

Heats went to Hinkle, Locke, Hartlaub and Kyle Denmyer with Brett Wanner taking the consolation

Some 37 cars took part in the event that posted a total purse worth over $20,000.

JUSTIN PECK SCORES ONE FOR THE ALL STARS WITH KRAMER KLASH WIN

Saturday, September 3, 2022 (7:30PM) ELIJAH HAWKINS MEMORIAL: 410 Sprints, 358 Sprints and Central PA Legends

Saturday, September 10, 2022 (7:30PM) Super Late Models, Wingless Sportsman, Extreme Stocks & Limited Stocks (ARCH Night)

Saturday, September 17, 2022 (7PM) Dirt Classic IX presented by Schmuck Lumber Company [rain date: Sunday, September 18]

Abbottstown, PA (August 27, 2022) – Justin Peck took his throwback Kramer Williamson helmet up with him for a wing dance to celebrate his Kramer Klash victory on Saturday night, “This is pretty cool man. We got Kurt, Kramer’s son, working on the car and wearing the throw back Kramer helmet tonight was pretty cool. It means a lot to them and it means a lot to me.” Not only was Peck’s win a big one for the All Stars, it was an emotional one for the Williamson family since Kramer’s son, Kurt, works on the car, “This is one of those races that you mark at the beginning of the year on the calendar ‘must win’ and luckily we were able to get it done.”

Peck started on the pole of the 35-lap, $7,300 to win feature and would lead every lap. Despite wiring the field, it was not an easy drive to victory as Peck had Freddie Rahmer hot on his heels most of the race. Rahmer got by Peck for the lead on a late-race restart, but Peck battled back to reclaim the top spot before they crossed the line, “I love coming to Lincoln Speedway. Hats off to the track crew they gave us a bad ass race track. These fans here are some of the best in the country. I love coming to Pennsylvania because all these guys are crazy.”

Justin Peck and Giovanni Scelzi were scheduled to share the front row of Saturday night’s 35-lap Kramer Klash, but Scelzi was penalized two spots for being late to the track. That put the current Lincoln Speedway points leader, Freddie Rahmer, on the front row with Peck. Peck led the field into turn 1 with Rahmer, who is still in search of his first Lincoln Speedway All-Star win, hot on his tail. Zeb Wise was running third and Scelzi was fourth.

Rahmer was running the bottom to stick with Peck when the yellow flag waved on lap 3 when TJ Stutts stopped in turn 4.

Peck led Rahmer, Wise, Scelzi and Danny Dietrich to the cone for the single-file restart. Rahmer went low in turns 1 and 2 to challenge for the lead but Peck held the top spot.

Dietrich got by Scelzi for fourth. Peck entered lapped traffic on lap 8 and quickly found himself in heavy traffic.

Zeb Wise flipped in turn 1 bringing out the red flag on lap 12. Wise had been running third.

The top five for the restart were Peck, Rahmer, Dietrich, Scelzi and Hunter Schuerenberg. Peck had a solid restart. Scelzi and Schuerenberg battled for fourth. Scelzi held off Hunter and went to challenge Dietrich for third.

Tyler Courtney was looking for a spot in the top 5. Once again Peck found himself in leavy lapped traffic allowing Rahmer to close in. Lap 23 saw another caution when Brandon Rahmer slowed in turn 2.

Rahmer stuck with Peck on the restart and pulled a slider in turns 1 and 2 for the lead. Peck took the top spot back at the line with Rahmer looking for another opportunity to pounce. Dietrich entered the picture and the top three raced for the lead. Courtney found his way into the top five on lap 25. Scelzi got by Dietrich for third on lap 28.

Lapped traffic came into play one last time with 5 laps to go, but Peck had put plenty of distance between him and Rahmer.

Peck scored his first Kramer Klash win by 1.555 seconds ahead of Rahmer. Scelzi crossed the line third and Dietrich was fourth. Courtney completed the top five.

Scelzi set quick time over the 39-car car field with a lap time of 13.383 seconds. Heat race wins went to Hunter Schuerenberg, Justin Peck, Danny Dietrich and Zeb Wise.

Next Saturday, September 3, Lincoln Speedway is back in action with Elijah Hawkins Memorial featuring the 410 Sprint Cars racing for $7,000 to win with the PA Speedweek format plus 358 Sprint Cars and Central PA Legends. Racing starts at 7:30PM with pit gates open at 5PM and grandstands open at 5:30PM.

YODER RETURNS TO LIMITED LATE MODEL WINNER’S CIRCLE FOR FOURTH TIME;

SPAHR HOLDS OFF CHALLENGERS FOR FIRST CAREER 305 SPRINT CAR WIN

SELINSGROVE, Pa. – Blane Heimbach of Selinsgrove wired the field for his second 410 sprint car victory in a row at Selinsgrove Speedway in Saturday night’s 25-lap 42nd Annual Jack Gunn Memorial on The Acme Companies Night.

Heimbach, who won the Gunn Memorial four times as a 358 sprint car event, collected $5,000 for his first win in the tribute race to the late Hall-of-Fame promoter in a 410 sprint car. He also strengthened his lead in the Lelands.com 410 sprint car point standings in the chase for the $5,000 series championship.

Andrew Yoder of Middleburg returned to Victory Lane for the fourth time this season at Selinsgrove in the 20-lap limited late model race. The win marked the seventh overall this season for Yoder.

Logan Spahr of Lewisberry drove to his first career win in the 20-lap PASS 305 sprint car main event after a thrilling battle.

Selinsgrove Speedway will host a special Labor Day holiday weekend racing program on Selinsgrove Ford Night at 7 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 4, featuring the 410 sprint cars, super late models, and roadrunners.

Blane Heimbach drew the pole for the start of the sprint car feature and powered into the lead with second-place starter Mark Smith chasing him. Sixth-place starter Devon Borden quickly advanced to third and kept the leaders in in his sights.

The event’s first caution flag unfurled on lap three when Derek Hauck’s fuel cell broke loose. On the ensuing restart, Heimbach continued to lead Smith, Borden, and fourth-place starter Steve Buckwalter.

Landon Myers brought out the caution flag on lap five when his car made contact with the inside guardrails in turns three and four. On the lap six restart, Smith put in a bid for the lead in turn three only to have Heimbach hold off the challenge.

At the halfway point, Heimbach, Smith, and Borden broke away from the rest of the pack. In the second half of the race, the battle to watch was between Smith and Borden for the runner-up position.

In the final laps, Heimbach stretched his lead and posted a two-second margin of victory over Smith, Borden, fifth-place starter Lucas Wolfe, and Buckwalter.

Outside front row Devin Hart pulled into the early lead in the limited late model feature with polesitter JR Toner in tow. By lap six, Hart developed a straightaway lead over Toner and seventh-place starter Andrew Yoder.

In the next few laps, Yoder got by Toner for second and set his sites on Hart in lapped traffic. On the 12th circuit, Hart and Yoder were side by side racing off turn four for the lead. Entering turn one, Yoder made a dive to the inside of the track to secure the lead.

Once in front, Yoder stretched his lead to a straightaway and posted the win over Hart, Daulton Bigler, JR Toner, and Shaun Lawton.

Polesitter Tyler Snook bolted into the lead at the start of the 305 sprint car race. Snook and second-place starter Logan Spahr dueled for the front spot for the first two laps until Spahr secured the lead.

The red flag stopped the race on lap three for a three-car melee on the frontstretch. When the race resumed, Spahr continued to set the pace with eighth-place starter Doug Dodson advancing to second and 10th-place starter Garrett Bard powering into the third position.

With five laps to go, the leaders began to encounter slower traffic and a close battle unfolded for the top positions. At the checkered flag, Spahr was victorious by about 10 car-lengths over Dodson, Bard, Snook, and Zach Rhodes.

Dietrich Scores Impressive Sweep Of All Star Gunn Memorial Twin 20s At Williams Grove

Gettysburg driver just fourth pilot to record sweep since 1961, takes $8,500 for victories

8/26/22

Mechanicsburg – For just the fourth time in history one driver swept the twin 20s for sprint cars at Williams Grove Speedway on Friday night and his name was Danny Dietrich.

Dietrich took home $4,000 for each win plus a $500 bonus from Mamma’s Pizza for scoring the sweep.

And to make Dietrich’s feat even sweeter, the victories came over the All Stars Circuit of Champions Sprint Cars Series in the 40th annual Jack Gunn Memorial.

The Gettysburg driver earned the pole for the start of the first twin feature and would lead the entire distance after starting beside All Stars points leader Tyler Courtney.

Dietrich saw Bill Balog come to second on the second circuit but while Balog tried to make tracks after the leader he was being tracked down himself by sixth starter Brent Marks.

Balog and Marks exchanged second spot on lap eight just as Dietrich entered traffic.

Marks was finally able to race into second with seven laps to go and set his sights on the pacesetter.

Meanwhile, during the next four laps, drivers Courtney, Lance Dewease and Justin Peck staged a spirited race for third, at times going three wide for the top spots before a lone caution flag broke up the fracas with three laps to go.

The new green saw Dietrich stay safely ahead of Marks, who would cross the finish line 1.169 seconds behind.

Dewease seized two spots on the restart to end up third followed by Peck and Courtney.

Sixth through 10th went to Balog, Antony Macri, Gio Scelzi, Freddie Rahmer and Dylan Norris.

Dietrich pulled an inversion of six for the second twin 20 placing Balog on the pole for the start but Courtney would lead the first circuit before the caution flag unfurled for a stopped Freddie Rahmer in the third turn.

Fourth starter Dewease raced into second on that first lap using the bottom groove and when action resumed after the caution, he chased Balog down the backchute before swooping under him in the third turn to net control with Dietrich up to third.

Another yellow flag then appeared with three laps recorded when Courtney suddenly stopped in the third turn.

Dietrich blasted by Balog for second on the restart and gave chase of Dewease.

It took the driver of the Kauffman No. 48 just two laps to run down the leader and make a race winning, inside pass as the pair raced into the first turn.

And once in front Dietrich pulled away during the mid stages but Marks was on the move and soon got by Dewease for second.

Marks made a nuisance of himself during the later stages but Dietrich persevered to get the impressive sweep by .441 seconds.

And Dewease again was third at the finish thus completing in an identical podium to the first race.

Peck was again fourth and Balog was fifth.

Sixth through 10th went to Macri, Chase Dietz, Scelzi, Zeb Wise and Norris.

Dietrich’s wins were his second and third of the season at the track and the 27th and 28th of his career at Williams Grove.

They were also the 12th and 13th of his overall season.

With the sweep, Dietrich became just the fourth driver to score the feat in 45 contests of the twin 20s since they began in 1961.

Previous sweeps of the twin 20s were scored by Bud Folkenroth in 1963, Van May in 1983 and by Fred Rahmer in 1995.

The races were run in honor of late promoter Jack Gunn who heralded the track during the 1960s and 1970s before begin felled by cancer in 1980 at the age of 46.

Heats for the 33-car field went to Marks, Peck, Balog and Dietrich with Steve Buckwalter taking the B Main.

Dietrich won the dash to earn the pole for the first feature.

Zeb Wise set quick time with a fast lap of 17.191 seconds.

Justin Peck scores $6000 Tezos All Star Circuit of Champions win at Bloomsburg Fair Raceway; Wingless Sportsman main to Tony Jackson

(BLOOMSBURG 8-24-22): The Tezos All Star Circuit of Champions presented by Mobil 1 rolled into Bloomsburg Fair Raceway on Wednesday for a $6000-to-win main event which was part of the ASCoC Tri-State Summer Swing and scoring his second straight and series leading seventh win of the season was Monrovia, Indiana’s Justin Peck.

In the accompanying Wingless Sportsman feature Tony Jackson of Newville scored the nonstop 20-lapper.

When the green flag dropped to begin the ASCoC feature outside front row starter Justin Peck outran pole sitter Cap Henry as the field exited Turn 2 while Kyle Reinhardt and Danny Dietrich went toe-to-two for second.

Three laps into the event the caution was out for Jordon Thomas who spun in Turn 4. When the action resumed Peck once again led while Reinhardt, Dietrich, point leader Tyler Courtney and April Bloomsburg winner Anthony Macri made up the top five.

On a lap four restart Courtney advanced to third and then began a torrid battle with Reinhardt for second.

Meanwhile leader Peck was solidly running a good race and by lap nine had approached slower traffic. As he did the Reinhardt/Courtney battle was quite heated and when they too reached the back-markers the runner-up spot flipped over to Courtney.

Once in second Courtney worked feverously to race with Peck and had a few opportunities late in the going when lapped cars came into play. But, once all was cleared Peck showed the way and held on for a car length margin of victory.

“There was pretty much just a lane and a half where you could enter in and get away from the lapped traffic and you kind of had to be conservative at times,” said Peck, who sits second in points to Courtney.

“The longer the race went we just kept digging deeper and deeper and figure out how to get around. It was tough but our 13 car was fast all night.”

Marci raced his way into third by the midway point but could advance no further. Dietrich and Reinhardt would round out the top five.

Heat race wins went to Zeb Wise, Reinhardt and Dietrich.

The Wingless Sportsman made an impressive debut at Bloomsburg as they reeled off their 20-lap feature in a caution free time of 6:25.

At the outset second starting Trent Yoder grabbed the early lead while a fast moving Jackson took control of second and within short order was nipping at the heels of the leader.

Continuing to keep up the pressure, Jackson pulled alongside Yoder going down the back straight on lap six and by the time they competed the circuit he had the lead.

Afterwards he set sail but behind him there ensured a terrific battle for second between Yoder and Eric Jennings. After running off several side-by-side laps Jennings was able to hustle by on lap 11. He then began to pull close to Jackson and made some thrilling attempts near the end of the race.

However, once Jackson realized he was in jeopardy of being passed he turned on the afterburners and shook off Jennings to take a half-second victory. Yoder settled for third with Brett Perigo and Steve Wilbur competing the top five.

Heats wins went to Jackson and Yoder.

All Star Sprints feature finish (30 laps): 1. Justin Peck, 2. Tyler Courtney, 3. Anthony Macri, 4. Danny Dietrich, 5. Kyle Reinhardt, 6. Gio Scelzi, 7. Zeb Wise, 8. Cap Henry, 9. Bill Balog, 10.

Tezos All Star Circuit of Champions presented by Mobil 1 Sprint Cars head to Bloomsburg Fair Raceway on Wednesday for $6000-to-win main event

(BLOOMSBURG 8-22-22): The Bloomsburg Fair Raceway is all set for a big night of open cockpit racing on Wednesday evening, August 24 with the national touring Tezos All Star Circuit of Champions (ASCoC) presented by Mobil 1 with a $6000-to-win main event.

Joining the Sprints will be the Super Sportsman cars who will be making their first appearance at the 3/8-mile dirt oval.

The All-Stars raced at Bloomsburg back on April 21 with Anthony Macri of Dillsburg scoring his fourth 410 Sprint win in a row at the time.

The Tezos All Star Circuit of Champions presented by Mobil 1 Sprint Car Series is one of the oldest traveling Sprint Car organizations and is a staple of grassroots, open-wheel racing. Formed in 1970 by Bud Miller, the series has largely been considered the first 'outlaw' Sprint Car organization of the modern era.

After a 10 year stint as owner of the All Stars, Miller passed control of the series to Bert Emick in 1980, a reign that would continue through 2002. Guy Webb then purchased the series from Emick in the summer of 2002 and served as the series President for the next 12 years. Motorsports entrepreneur Tony Stewart agreed to terms with Guy Webb to become the sole owner of the original winged sprint car tour in January of 2015.

Wednesday’s event is part of the 10 race ASCoC Tri-State Summer Swing. This past Sunday was rained out at New York’s Weedsport Speedway. That makes Bloomsburg the third race of the swing which includes additional stops at Bridgeport Speedway in Swedesboro, NJ on Thursday and then back to Pennsylvania for consecutive nights at Williams Grove, Lincoln and Bedford Speedways.

The action at Bloomsburg is expected to be a hard-fought as a number of the popular Pennsylvania Posse will planning to clash with the All Stars.

Tyler Courtney of Indianapolis, IN heads into Bloomsburg as the current ASCoC point leader and a five time winner this season. Monrovia, Indiana’s Justin Peck is the most recent winner on the tour held on August 20 at Utica-Rome Speedway in Vernon, NY. Peck is also second in points.

Grandstands will open at 5:00 pm. Adult admission is $25, students and seniors $15. Pits will open at 4:00 pm. Pit admission is $35.

Logan Wagner Scores Fifth Win of the Season; Kenawell, Bard and Bright Also Earn Open Wheel Madness Wins

By Justin Snyder

Port Royal Speedway- PORT ROYAL, PA- (August 21, 2022)- Logan Wagner held off the field and the rapid loss of air coming from his right-rear tire to claim the victory in Weikert's Livestock 410 Sprint Car competition Saturday night.

The win was Wagner's fifth of the season at the Juniata County oval and was worth $5000 as part of the track's Open Wheel Madness presented by Bobby Rahal Toyota of Lewistown promotion. Dylan Cisney, Blane Heimbach, Mike Wagner and Devon Borden rounded out the top five.

Ryan Taylor and Mike Walter II lined up on the front row for the A-main and it was Taylor leading the field of 24 Sprint Cars to the line at the conclusion of lap one over fourth-place starter Jeff Halligan.

Taylor paced the field early, but gave way to a surging Halligan out of turn four with 19 laps remaining. Taylor stayed within striking distance of Halligan over the following lap, but both their run's at victory would come to an end before another lap could be completed.

Lapped car, Austin Burke, got turned around in between turn's one and two and left both drivers with nowhere to go. Halligan nearly slipped by on the outside, but sustained front end damage and Taylor slid sideways into Burke as well. Both cars would not return to the field.

Their misfortune proved to be Walter's good luck as he was gifted the lead as a result and it was him leading the field back to the green-flag action over Heimbach and Mike Wagner. However, his lead was short lived as it only took three turns for Heimbach to overtake Walter for the top spot and the Selinsgrove, Pa. ace would be credited with leading lap eight.

Walter chased Heimbach over the next six circuits before making a move for the top spot with 11 laps to go. However, as the leaders were also contesting lapped traffic as well, Walter got into the back-end of a lapped car on the backstetch and the contact as a result created front-end damage. He attempted to regain his composure, but the damage caused him to pop a wheelie on the frontstretch and he pulled into the infield as a result while running second.

With Walter off track, sixth-place starting Logan Wagner acquired the runner-up position and he set his sights on Heimbach. Eighth-place starter Dylan CIsney was also on the move and he moved into the final podium position with nine laps to go.

It only took four more laps for Wagner to overtake Heimbach for the top spot and three laps later Cisney followed suit. It appeared the fans might see a repeat of Cisney's miracle driver forward from a few week's ago, but a lapped car stalled his momentum on the white flag lap.

The hometown kid gave it the old college try though and he got a huge run down the backstretch coming to the checkered flag. But the run wasn't enough, as Wagner took the checkered by a margin of .692 seconds. The timing of the final lap proved perfect as Wagner's tire was going flat as he paced the field and headed to victory lane to celebrate.

AJ Flick, Trenton Sheaffer, Dan Shetler, Tyler Bear and Nick Swiegart completed the top ten. Sweigart also earned both the $500 Valley Supply Hard Charger Award and the J&S Classics $1000 Warrior Award via a random draw.

Stevie Kenawell and Garrett Bard both scored feature victories in the Penns Valley Meat Market PA Sprint Series 305 Sprint Car division Saturday night. Kenawell's victory was his first career triumph at the Speedway and came as part of the night's regularly scheduled event, while Bard's was part of a make-up feature event form an earlier season rainout.

Mike Melair led the opening lap of the first feature after starting f0orm the fourth position and he led the opening 10 laps before a caution for a slowing car in turn two halted his momentum.

Kenawell, who started 10th on the grid, moved into the final podium position following the halfway mark restart. However, 12th-place starter Bard had other ideas as he went fourth to second to take over the runner-up spot on the top side.

Kenawell slipped back by Bard for second with seven laps to go, while Melair held a 1.198 second advantage with five laps remaining. It only took two more laps for Kenawell to make the lead disappear as he got by Melair and cruised home for the victory . Melair, Bard, Dave Wickham and Kruz Kepner rounded out the top five.

Bard was able to redeem himself in the second feature as he capitalized on a front-row starting spot to bring home the victory as part of the make-up feature event. Austin Reed, Tyler Snook, Ken Duke and Doug Dodson rounded out the top five.

Alex Bright charged forward form the eighth starting position to eqrn the USAC East Coast Sprint Car feature win over Steven Drevicki and Mark Smith.

Bobby Butler and Smith started form the front row and it was Butler leading at the completion of the opening circuit. Meanwhile, Bright was already on the move as he passed four cars on the first lap to sit on fourth.

Smith got by Butler for the lead on the second circuit, while Bright cracked the podium as well for third. It only took one more lap for Bright to dispatch of Butler for second and two more laps to get by Smith for the lead.

Drevicki, who started 10th on the grid, moved into a podium position on lap eight and two laps later he got by Butler to move into the final podium spot. However, Bright was on a mission up front and maintained a 1.8 second advantage at the halfway mark. Lapped traffic came into play, but Drevicki would never seriously contend as Bright cruised home for the win. Drevicki, Smith, Briggs Danner and Kenny Miller completed the top five.

40th Annual Grove Gunn Memorial Honors HOF Promoter Friday

Event celebrates 40th running in 2022

8/21/22

Mechanicsburg - This Friday’s twin 20s for the All Stars Circuit of Champions Sprints at Williams Grove Speedway will honor late, great, promoter Jack Gunn.

The Jack Gunn Memorial twin 20-lap mains will each pay $4,000 to win with total purses for each feature worth over $20,000 each.

First run in 1983, the Gunn Memorial honors late Williams Grove promoter Jack Gunn, a native of Hancock, Maryland.

The 2022 event will be the 40th annual Jack Gunn Memorial and the winner’s list is impressive to say the least.

Bobby Allen was the first winner in 1983 with additional names on the win list like Frankie Kerr, Jason Johnson, Lance Dewease, Greg Hodnett, Fred Rahmer, Daryn Pittman, Keith Kauffman and many others.

However no driver has claimed more Gunn Memorials over the years than the now retired Don Kreitz Jr.

Jack Gunn was a Hall of Fame Promoter who heralded the speedway as promoter from 1967 until his untimely death from cancer at the age of 48 in 1980.

He began working at the track during the early 1960s as an announcer and honed his skill on the microphone while eventually relaying his talents into the oval’s captain.

It was during his tenure at the helm of Williams Grove Speedway that Gunn rose to prominence on the local and national scene and he took the facility with him.

During his career at Williams Grove, Gunn also promoted with much success at other area tracks.

Gunn’s mark on both Williams Grove and the region itself was to help raise sprint car racing to not only a weekly division but a premiere weekly headline division at that.

Gunn was feted nationally as 1979 Promoter of the Year.

While at the top of his game, he not only stood at the helm at both Williams Grove and Selinsgrove Speedways, but he was also doing the job at Hagerstown, (Maryland) and Penn National Speedways.

In his day, Jack Gunn was known as the most powerful promoter in the East.

And it is that reputation and skill that Williams Grove Speedway will honor yet again this week with the running of the All Stars Jack Gunn Memorial Twin 20s.

Gates will open at 5:30 pm.

Adult general admission is set at $25 with youth ages 13 – 20 admitted for just $10. Kids ages 12 and under are always admitted for FREE at Williams Grove Speedway.

 

 

Williams Grove Joe Harz Tribute Race Coming Up Sept. 2

Match Race for 358s also on program

8/21/22

Mechanicsburg - One of the most notable car owners in Williams Grove Speedway history will be honored at the track coming up on Friday night, September 2 when the oval presents the Hoosier Diamond Series Joe Harz Tribute Race for the 410 sprint cars.

The Harz Tribute Race for the Lawrence Chevrolet 410 sprint cars will pay $6,000 to the winner and time trials will be used to set the heat starting grids.

Also on the program will be the make-up Match Race for 358 sprint cars offering a total purse worth over $20,000.

Harz, owner of the famed yellow No. 88H sprint car for the better part of two decades spanning portions of the 1980s, 90s and 2000s, will be feted prior to the races with a meet and greet in the speedway infield beginning at 5:45 pm.

Interviews with former Harz drivers, mechanics and Harz himself will also be conducted between 5:45 and 6:45.

The interviews will be streamed live on Facebook via BeerHill Gang TV.

Racing action gets underway at 7:30 pm.

After fielding modifieds for several years, Harz launched into the sprint car world in 1984 with Meme Desantis of Temple wheeling the car.

After that drivers such as Kramer Williamson, Fred Rahmer, Richard Lupo, Kenny Adams, Sean Michael, Mike Wagner and Lance Dewease wheeled the car among a few others.

Harz recently turned age 75 and the Elmer, New Jersey native is still going strong, attending races throughout the season and across the nation.

At Williams Grove alone his cars copped 41 main events including victories in the National Open, Summer Nationals, season opener, Early Bird Championship and in the Mitch Smith Memorial.

STEVE BUCKWALTER WINS BILLY KIMMEL MEMORIAL ON MESSICK’S EQUIPMENT

NIGHT AT WILLIAMS GROVE SPEEDWAY

-Shane Clanton wins $10,000 in World of Outlaws Late Model Feature.

MECHANICSBURG, PA – It has been a very trying year for Steve

Buckwalter and the Clair and Jan Ritter Team.

Buckwalter, of Royersford, turned things around a bit Friday night as

he captured the Billy Kimmel Memorial and $6,000 in the 25-lap sprint

car feature. It was his 12th career Grove win.

“It has been a long time coming,” Buckwalter said. “We’ve been really

struggling with the car.”

In the 40-lap main event for the World of Outlaws Late Model series,

it was Shane Clanton picking up the $10,000 win.

Buckwalter started second and raced into the lead over Alan Krimes and

Devon Borden.

“I knew Borden would be fast, and also Krimes, I figured if he beat me

to turn one, it would be really tough to get around him.”

A fourth turn accident brought the race under caution with two laps

completed. Brent Shearer, Robbie Kendall and Gordon Senft were

involved. Everybody was okay and only Kendall didn’t restart.

Buckwalter controlled the restart as Borden took second from Krimes.

Ninth starter Chase Dietz was into the top four and 17th starter

Freddie Rahmer into seventh with six laps completed.

Meanwhile at the front, Borden was running Buckwalter down as they

blasted around the cushion.

Buckwalter reached the back of the field and the slower car of Austin

Burke. This brought Borden right to his bumper as they raced down the

frontstretch. Borden ducked under Buckwalter entering turn one as

Buckwalter also tried to pass Burke on the inside. It was very tight

racing off the second corner with Buckwalter holding on.

“I was catching that lapped car and I didn’t realize Borden was that

close,” Buckwalter said. “I knew I wasn’t close enough to slide the

lapped car, but I wanted to see how good my car stuck. I got in there

and slid up to him like I intended to, but then I seen Borden and had

to get on the gas. I picked up the pace and ran it a little harder and

the car handled it.”

Tyler Reeser stopped entering turn three bringing out the yellow with

11 laps completed.

Buckwalter’s restart was good enough to keep Borden from tying a first

turn slider. Rahmer raced into fifth.

Buckwalter pulled away a bit from Borden following the restart and was

in control as Dietz took third from Krimes.

Dylan Norris slowed on the backstretch bringing the field under

caution again with 10 laps to go.

Borden was closer on this restart, but couldn’t clear the pass as

Buckwalter raced off the second corner with the lead.

The yellow flew again with eight laps to go for Rick Lafferty.

This gave Borden another shot, but it was Buckwalter staying strong on

the cushion in turns one and two.

Rahmer ducked under Dietz for third spot.

Lance Dewease, who started 18th after being collected in a heat race

crash, raced into fifth. He took fourth from Dietz as Buckwalter built

a comfortable lead again.

Dewease went after Rahmer for third. He’d take the spot entering turn one.

It was Buckwalter scoring the win by 2.7 seconds over Borden and the

hard-charging Dewease. Rahmer and Dietz completed the top five. Kyle

Moody, Krimes, TJ Stutts, Jordan Givler and Shearer rounded out the

top 10.

Krimes won the first heat after a side-by-side battle with Reeser.

Buckwalter won the second heat over Givler. A total of 20 sprint cars

were on hand.

The World of Outlaw Late Model series made their annual visit to

Williams Grove. Ryan Gustin and Shane Clanton shared the front row for

the 40-lap, $10,000 to win feature.

Clanton grabbed the lead and had the race under control early, but Max

Blair closed on him with 15 laps to go. Gustin also moved back into

the picture.

As they began closing on slower traffic with 10 to go, the yellow flag

flew. Clanton got a good restart keeping Blair and Gustin at bay.

Clanton streaked away from there scoring his second win of the season

and career series win number 48. Blair, Gustin, Tanner English and

Rick Eckert completed the top five. Eddie Carrier Jr., series point

leader Dennis Erb Jr., Josh Richards, Dale Hollidge and Jason Covert

rounded out the top 10.

Erb set quick time over the 3R0-car late model field with a lap of

19.636. Erb, Clanton, and Gustin won the heat races. Kyle Hardy won

the Last Chance Showdown.

Local drivers that have beaten the band this season both at home and on the road should also be in the field including Danny Dietrich, Brent Marks and Anthony Macri.

Saturday, September 3, 2022 (7:30PM) ELIJAH HAWKINS MEMORIAL: 410 Sprints, 358 Sprints and Central PA Legends

Abbottstown, PA (August 13, 2022) – Troy Wagaman had been knocking on the door of his first 410 win this season and on Saturday night he finally parked it in victory lane for the first time in his career. Before moving to the 410 sprint division last year, Wagaman had plenty of success in his 358 sprint car, earning six wins at Lincoln in the division.

Wagaman lined up 10th for the start of the 30-lap feature and quickly fell back to 12th. Troy worked his way back up through the field and was running second when Robbie Kendall, the leader, stopped on the track with a fire under the car. Wagaman inherited the lead on lap 22. Alan Krimes was in second when Troy jumped the cushion in turn 4 with three laps to go, but Wagaman had a big enough lead to hold on, “I’m out of breath. I’ve never drove so hard the last five laps.”

In victory lane Troy shared what his first 410 win meant to him, “Its amazing. I never thought it would come this year we’ve been so close, seconds and thirds.”

Michael Millard and Chris Arnold were on the front row for the start of the feature. Millard took the lead when the green flag waved and Riley Emig looked under Arnold for second. Zane Rudisill and Robbie Kendall battled for fourth with Kendall taking the spot. Brandon Rahmer followed and got by Rudisill for fifth.

The first caution came on lap 3 when Dylan Norris found himself facing the wrong way on the back stretch.

Millard led Arnold, Emig, Kendall and Rahmer to the cone for the restart.

Millard got a solid jump on Arnold. Kendall got under Emig as they raced down the back stretch, but Emig held the spot.

The yellow flag waved again on lap 4 when Chad Trout and Tim Glatfelter both spun in turn 4. Trout and Glatfelter had both been running in the top 10.

Kendall under Emig down the backstretch – Emig held onto the spot

Millard had another solid restart. Once again Kendall got under Emig on the back stretch and this time it stuck and Kendall took third. Robbie made quick work of Arnold to take second.

Alan Krimes had worked his way up through the field and raced side by side with Arnold on lap 9 for third. Kendall closed in on Millard and was on his bumper. Robbie slid Millard in turns 1 and 2 and took the lead on lap 14. Arnold followed to move back into second.

Kendall caught lapped traffic on lap 15. By the midway point of the race Wagaman had made his way into the top five and by lap 17 Troy was running third. By lap 19 Wagaman was in second and was closing in on Kendall as they worked their way through lapped traffic.

While leading Kendall’s car went up in smoke on the backstretch on lap 22 bringing out the caution.

Wagaman inherited the lead with Krimes, Arnold, Rahmer and Siegel running in the top five.

Troy went high and Krimes opted to go low on the restart. Krimes had a good run off turn 2 and nearly took the lead as they raced into turn 3 but Wagaman held on to the top spot.

Wagaman jumped the cushion in turn 4 with three laps to go but Krimes was too far back to make a move.

Troy won his first career 410 feature 1.247 seconds over Krimes. Arnold finished third and Freddie Rahmer earned hard charger honors driving from 19th to fourth. Siegel completed the top five.

Bill Diehl Victorious with Last Lap Pass

Pole-sitter Bill Diehl led the field into turn 1 after the green flag waved for the start of the 20-lap feature. The first caution of the race came on lap 2 for Mike Racine in turn 4.

Diehl led, Bob Stough, Logan Carbaugh, Travis McClelland and Jeremy Ott for the restart. Stough was on Diehl’s bumper when the caution came out again on lap 4. The yellow waved for Cory Phillips who sat sideways in turn 4. The caution came out again on the restart when Wayne Dutterer

Caution lap 2 for Mike Racine in turn 4 slowed and came to a stop. Stough stuck his nose under Diehl on the restart but could not complete the pass. The yellow flag waved again for Michael Stoppard in turn 1.

Stough got his nose under Diehl again on the restart and again the yellow waved for Stoppard.

The top six, Diehl, Stough, Carbaugh, McClelland, Ott and Stephen Wurtzer, started pulling away from the field after the restart.

McClelland looked under Carbaugh down the back stretch but did not make the pass. The two continued to race side by side for third with McClelland taking the spot on lap 8.

The yellow flag came out on lap 9 for Cody Altland. Stough was still on Diehl’s bumper searching for a way to get the lead.

Just as Stough had a solid run on Diehl the caution flag flew on lap 12 for Wayne Dutterer as he fell off the pace and stopped on the back stretch.

Shaun Miller brought out the yellow on lap 15 with a spin in turn 4.

Stough led McClelland, Stough, Ott and Carbaugh to the cone but there was another caution on the restart when Joshua Schrum and Richie Dobson spun in turns 1 and 2.

McClelland looked to the inside of Diehl on the restart when yet another caution came out. This time it was for Vincent Wenrich in turn 1.

Wurtzer drove by Carbaugh to enter the top five and Ott got by Stough for third.

McClelland looked to the inside of Diehl on the back stretch and took the lead on lap 17. Ott followed getting by Diehl for second.

The final caution came on lap 18 when Logan Carbaugh stopped in turn 1. Carbaugh had been running fifth.

McClelland, Ott, Diehl, Stough and Seth Kearchner lined up for the green, white, checkered finish.

Ott looked to the outside of McClelland for the lead with McClelland barely holding the advantage at the white flag. Ott continued his quest to take the lead using the outside line, but in an exciting finish, Diehl got by both McClelland and Ott coming out of turn 4 to the checkered flag.

Diehl won in thrilling fashion, just .075 seconds ahead of Ott. Stough crossed the line third and McClelland finished fourth. Kearchner completed the top five.

Steve Wilbur Wins in Wingless Super Sportsman

Matt Ondek led the field into turn 1 with Tony Jackson in second and Michael Smith in third after the green flag dropped for the 20-lap feature. Smith got under Jackson but Jackson was able to hold on to second.

Jackson got high in turn 4 allowing Steve Wilbur to get by and take over the second spot. Jackson held off a charge from Smith for third.

The yellow flag flew on lap 3 when Brad Shenk and Ryan Rutz got turned around in turn 4.

The top five for the restart were Ondek, Wilbur, Jackson, Smith and Cliff Brian Jr. Jackson went to the outside on the restart and got by Wilbur coming out of turn 2. Ondek, Wilbur and Jackson raced three-wide down the front stretch for the lead with Jackson having the advantage at the line. Wilbur took the lead coming out of turn 2 and would hold on to it to take over the top spot on lap 5.

Jackson stayed on the top of the track running the high line trying to reel in Wilbur. Tony moved down to the bottom to block a charge by Ondek.

Ondek got by Jackson for second on lap 14. Jackson stayed close to try and reclaim the runner up spot and he did just that on lap 17.

Wilbur scored the win by a commanding 4.711 seconds over Jackson. Ondek crossed the line third and Cliff Brian Jr was fourth. Billy Brian Jr finished fifth.

SELINSGROVE SPEEDWAY

 13 August 2022

YODER, BARD, FARLLING & VIAL SCORE SELINSGROVE SHOWDOWN ON SAND HILL VICTORIES

SELINSGROVE, Pa. – Dylan Yoder of Middleburg drove to his first Selinsgrove Speedway super late model win of the season Saturday in the division’s 25-lap main event on Fairfield Chevrolet Night

Yoder became the ninth different super late model winner in 10 races to date. The $3,000 victory was his 17thcareer in late models at the track.

Garrett Bard of Wells Tannery returned to Victory Lane for the third time this season at Selinsgrove in the 20-lap PASS 305 sprint car event.

Taylor Farlling of Carlisle held off three-time winner Andrew Yoder of Middleburg for his first career Selinsgrove win in the 20-lap limited late model feature.

Levi Vial of Bloomsburg won his third 12-lap roadrunner race by just inches over five-time winner Jake Jones of Hunlock Creek.

Selinsgrove Speedway returns to racing action at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 27, featuring The Acme Companies 42nd Annual Jack Gunn Memorial for 410 sprint cars paying $5,000 to win plus PASS 305 sprint cars and limited late models. Track gates open at 5 p.m. There will be no racing on the half-mile track on Saturday, Aug. 20.

Andrew Yoder started the super late model feature in the second position and won the battle for the early lead into turn one over polesitter Deshawn Gingerich. Dylan Yoder started fourth and passed Gingerich for second on lap four.

On the fifth circuit, D. Yoder made the winning pass when A. Yoder drifted high in turn four and made contact with the wall. At the same time fifth-place starter Jim Bernheisel drove into the second position.

At the midway point of the race, an intense battle for second unfolded between Bernheisel, Gingerich and A. Yoder as D. Yoder continued to stretch his lead.

D. Yoder took the checkered flag by 4.9 seconds over J. Bernheisel, A. Yoder, ninth-place starter Dan Stone, and Gingerich.

Polesitter Garrett Bard wired the field for the win in the 305 sprint car feature but not without some challenges during the race. Second-place starter Logan Spahr chased Bard through traffic for the entire distance.

At the halfway point, Bard was leading Spahr, sixth-place starter Doug Dodson, eighth-place starter Ken Duke, and fourth-place starter Dustin Young.

With one lap to go the caution flag regrouped the field for a chase to the checkered flag. Bard held off the field to post a .94 of a second victory over Spahr, Dodson, Duke, and Young.

On the third attempt to start the limited late model feature, outside front row starter Taylor Farlling powered into the lead and was chased by third-place starter Daulton Bigler for the first seven laps before fifth-place starter Andrew Yoder advanced to second.

At the halfway point, Farlling began to encounter slower traffic as A. Yoder closed the gap. On a lap 15 restart, A. Yoder pulled ahead of Farlling in the turns only to have Farlling race back underneath to maintain the front spot.

At the checkered flag, Farlling was victorious by just 1.27 seconds over A. Yoder, snapping his three-race winning streak. Devin Hart, Trent Brenneman and Shaun Lawton rounded out the top five.

In the roadrunner feature, front row starter Levi Vial pulled into the early lead with fourth-place starter Keith Bissinger in tow. Leading feature winner Jake Jones started the race in the third position and drove by Bissinger for second on the third lap.

For the rest of the distance, Jones chased Vial at the front of the pack. On the final lap, Jones made a last-ditch effort to pass Vial for the lead and win on the inside racing off turn four but came up short by inches at the finish line.

“We are expecting a great turnout of Sprint Cars for this event,” said McCahan. “Drivers are pleased with the $6,300 to win and $500 to start payout.” In addition to NAPA Toner Auto Parts, a number of associate sponsors will offer prizes for Fast Time in Time Trials, Heat Race Winners, Hard Charger Award, and other contingency prizes for the 410 Sprint Cars.

In addition to the 410 Sprint Cars, the IMCA Modifieds will be part of the program in a $1,000 to win event.

FREDDIE RAHMER GOES BACK TO BACK; Cameron Smith Victorious for Second Time in Rookie Campaign; Richie Hitzler Wins in Xcel 600 Modifieds

Saturday, August 13, 2022 MOTOSPORTS NIGHT: 410 Sprints, Central PA Legends and Wingless Sportsman

Saturday, August 20, 2022 (7:30PM) BARRY SKELLY MEMORIAL: 410 Sprints, 358 Sprints (Summer Series) and ARDC Midgets

Saturday, August 27, 2022 (7:30PM) ALL-STAR CIRCUIT OF CHAMPIONS “KRAMER KLASH” for 410 Sprints (TT) ($7,300 to win) and EMMR Exhibition

Abbottstown, PA (August 6, 2022) – Freddie Rahmer’s fifth win of the season came on Saturday night during DCS School of Driving Night. It was Rahmer’s second win in a row at the 3/8-mile oval. Rahmer lined up ninth for the start of the 30-lap feature and found his way to the front of the field on lap 14.

Cory Haas hunted down Rahmer in lapped traffic and made a late race charge for the lead. Rahmer knew he had to run high to black the challenge, “I was just trying to maintain. We had a bunch of yellows, I didn’t know how close they were. I knew once I got off the top I knew they’d be right there, I just tried to get back to it as soon as I could.”

When asked about his recent success in victory lane Rahmer shared, “We just got to take it one week at a time. It’s a wave it goes back and forth.”

Dalton Dietrich and Brie Hershey started on the front row for the drop of the green flag. Hershey led the field into turn 1 with Dietrich holding off both Michael Millard and Riley Emig as they challenged for second. Rahmer was up to fifth by lap 3 after getting by Robbie Kendall. Freddie then took fourth on lap 5 after getting by Tyler Esh coming out of turn 2. After the pass, Esh and Kendall made contact with Esh coming to a stop in the top of turn 2 bringing out the caution.

Hershey led Dietrich, Emig, Rahmer and Kendall to the cone for the restart. Brie got a good jump as Rahmer looked to the outside of Emig for third. Emig held off Rahmer at the line by inches on lap 6 but could not hold him off the following lap. Rahmer took third and went to work on Dietrich for second.

Kendall got by Emig for fourth. Haas took fifth from Emig on lap 9. Robbie tried a slider on Rahmer for third but could not make the pass. Rahmer pulled a slider on Dietrich for second, taking the spot on lap 13. Rahmer made quick work of Hershey making the pass for the lead on lap 14. Kendall was right behind him, but the caution came out on lap 14 for debris on the track. Despite making the pass for second, Kendall lined up for the restart behind Hershey since the lap had not been completed.

Rahmer got a good jump on the field with Haas looking to the outside of Kendall for second. Haas got under Kendall in turns 3 and 4 on lap 16 to move into third right before Kendall fell off the pace bringing out the caution.

The top five for the restart were Rahmer, Hershey, Haas, Matt Campbell and Dylan Norris. Once again Rahmer had a good start. Haas took second in turns 1 and 2 from Hershey and Campbell followed moving into third.

Chris Arnold did a 360 spin in turn 2 on lap 20 bringing out the caution. Rahmer paced the field ahead of Haas, Campbell, Chase Dietz and Norris for the restart. Haas stuck with Rahmer in turns 1 and 2. Dietz got by Campbell for third at the line.

Lapped traffic came into play with 4 laps to go. Haas got to the inside of Rahmer as they worked through lapped traffic but Rahmer held the lead. Freddie pulled a wheelie at the flagstand as the white flag waved allowing Haas to take one last stab at the win.

Rahmer crossed the line .528 seconds ahead of Haas. Dietz was third and Campbell finished fourth. Norris completed the top five.

Cameron Smith Victorious for Second Time in Rookie Campaign

John Sharpe and Tylar Rutherford shared the front row for the start of the 20-lap feature.

In only his second start in the division, Rutherford led the field through 1 and 2. The yellow flag waved before a lap was completed when Jeff Rohrbaugh and Steven Cox got together in turn 2.

The field lined up for a complete restart with Sharpe leading the field into turn 1 this time. Rutherford and Sharpe raced wheel to wheel down the back stretch for the lead. Rutherford got sideways in turn 3 and collected Doug Hammaker, bringing out the caution again before a lap was completed.

The third time was a charm with Travis Scott sharing the front row with Sharpe. Scott took the lead and Cameron Smith went to the outside of Sharpe to take second at the line.

Steve Owings and Cody Fletcher raced for fourth behind Sharpe. Owings moved into third and Fletcher followed taking fourth. Smith took the lead on lap 3 from Scott.

Smith entered lapped traffic on lap 7. Jayden Wolf got by Owings on the back stretch to take third on lap 8. Smith was in heavy lapped traffic as Wolf closed in on Scott behind him. Wolf was searching for a way around Scott when the caution came out on lap 14 for Kane Eichenlaub who spun in turn 3.

The top five for the restart were Smith, Scott, Wolf, Owings and Fletcher. Wolf was off the pace on the restart and brought out the caution again on lap 15.

Smith had a good jump on the restart with Owings sticking with Scott to battle for second.

Smith won his second race of the season by 1.472 seconds over Scott. Owings crossed the line third and Fletcher was fourth. Chris Frank finished fifth.

Richie Hitzler Wins in Xcel 600 Modifieds

Pole-sitter, Andy Ressler took the lead at the start but Austin Daniels drove by Ressler on the first lap to lead lap 1. Korey Inglin got by Ressler to move into second.

Richie Hitzler was up to third and dove under Inglin on lap 5 to take second. Hitzler then looked under Daniels for the lead in turns 1 and 2. The two raced wheel to wheel down the back stretch with Hitzler holding the advantage at the line to take the lead on lap 7.

After the pass for the lead, the yellow flag waved for Chris Smith who spun in turn 4.

The top five for the restart were Hitzler, Daniels, Inglin, Geoffrey Sutton and Ressler. Inglin was working on Daniels for second on lap 8 but Daniels held him off at the line. Inglin would take the spot on the next lap coming out of turn 4.

Lap 10 saw the yellow flag when Chris Frable and Keith Inglin spun in turns 1 and 2.

Hitzler led Inglin, Daniels, Sutton and Tyler Bartik for the restart. The caution came out on the restart for debris in turn 3.

Daniels, Sutton and Bartik raced three-wide for third with Daniels holding the spot. Bartik moved up to fourth and then took third on lap 14.

Scott Heisey brought out the caution on lap 14. Sutton was putting pressure on Daniels for fourth with two laps to go when the caution came out for Frable and Heisey.

Hitzler, Inglin, Bartik, Daniels and Sutton lined up for the green, white, checkered finish.

Daniels and Sutton were wheel to wheel for fourth on lap 19 when Ingiln, who was running second, spun racing for the lead. Inglin spun again on the restart.

Hitzler won the feature with Bartik crossing the line second. Daniels finished third and Sutton was fourth. Kenny Harris completed the top five.

Aug 24 @7:00 pm Tezos All Star Circuit of Champions presented by Mobil 1 $6000-to-win + wingless Sportsman

Bloomsburg Fair Raceway falls to rain; Fan Appreciation Night rescheduled for August 18

(BLOOMSBURG 8-6-22): No sooner was the Bloomsburg Fair Raceway pit area filing up with race cars in anticipation of Fan Appreciation Night, a rainstorm suddenly blew through the area and abruptly put an end to any racing activities for the evening.

With just $5 admission for a four division show the raceway was looking forward to hosting a very affordable night of racing. Even though weather reports indicated that little to no rain would pass over Bloomsburg things unfortunately took a change for the worse when the late afternoon rain storm not only hit but remained stalled for some time afterwards.

All is not lost, however, for Fan Appreciation Night as the entire program, consisting of the USAC East Coast Sprints, ARDC Midgets, 305 Sprints and the FWD 4-Cylinder Stocks, will be moved to Thursday, August 18 with the same $5 general admission price tag.

The 358 Modified event that was slated for that date will not be run. After conferring with several Modified teams about the event it was decided to best hold off for the time being with that race due to a number of impending factors.

Gerard McIntyre Outlasts the Field and Mother Nature to Earn First Career Port Royal Victory

By Justin Snyder

Port Royal Speedway- PORT ROYAL, PA- (August 7, 2022)- Gerard McIntyre beat the field and Mother Nature to claim his first career Port Royal Speedway feature victory Saturday night in Weikert's Livestock 410 Sprint Car competition.

The win was worth $4000 and came over a hard charging Jeff Halligan and Blane Heimbach.

Tyer Reeser, making his first start behind the wheel of the Aaron Long owned Steve Smith tribute No 19t, and Kody Lehman led the field of 24 Sprint Cars to the green flag and it was Lehman getting the early jump on the field to lead the opening lap. McIntyre, who started fourth on the grid, settled into second followed by Devon Borden.

Eighth-place starter Heimbach was a man on a mission early as he cracked the podium on lap two, while McIntyre only needed one more lap to dispose of Lehman to take the top spot with 22 laps remaining.

Borden and Heimbach battled it out for the final podium position, with Borden claiming the spot on lap four and three laps later he wheeled the Stehman/Shuttlesworth Racing No 23 into the runner-up position. Heimbach followed suit to grab the third position on the following lap from Lehman.

One lap later it was ninth-place starter Halligan cracking the top five, while the leaders were starting to close in on lapped traffic with 15 laps to go. Borden remained hot and heavy on the tail tank of McIntyre over the next five circuits before he pulled the trigger and slid in front of the leader in between turn's one and two.

It appeared that Borden was going to be the new leader, however the move didn't stick and he made contact with the outside guardrail and got turned around to bring out the caution and give to spot back to McIntyre.

McIntyre controlled the field on the restart, while Heimbach and Halligan battled it out for the runner-up spot behind him. 12th place starter Danny Dietrich went eighth to sixth on the restart, while Michael Walter slid into fourth as well.

Dietrich remained steady in his pursuit to the front as he cracked the top five for the first time with eight laps remaining, while McIntyre was approaching lapped traffic again.

Heimbach and Halligan were starting to chip away at McIntyre's lead, which was slightly more than a 1.4 second advantage with five laps remaining. Dietrich was making himself part of the picture as well as he moved into fourth with four laps remaining.

The top four all raced in and out of lapped traffic and it appeared it would be McIntyre claiming the victory with little challenge after he took the white flag, but ninth-place running Logan Wagner came to a stop exiting turn four with a flat right-rear tire to set up a one lap battle for the win.

McIntyre led the field of hungry drivers back to the green flag and while Heimbach was primed to make a move for the lead, it was Halligan thwarting his efforts as he got around him in turn's one and two on the outside to grab the runner-up spot. The battle for second allowed McIntyre the space he needed to breathe a little easier and he cruised home for the victory behind the wheel of the No. 33 car that's only housed a block from the Speedway.

Halligan, Heimbach, Dietrich and Walter rounded out the top five, while Mike Wagner, Dan Shetler, Kassidy Kreitz, Lucas Wolfe and Jason Shultz finished out the top ten. Wolfe earned the $1000 J&S Classics Warrior Award via random draw, while 14th-place finisher Ryan Linder earned the $500 Valley Supply hard Charger after starting 24th on the grid.

ECKERT SCORES FIRST SELINSGROVE LATE MODEL WIN OF SEASON;

AMANTEA WINS FIRST CAREER USAC EAST COAST SPRINT CAR RACE;

JONES DRIVES TO SIXTH ROADRUNNER VICTORY

SELINSGROVE, Pa. – Rick Eckert of York powered to his first Selinsgrove Speedway victory of the season in Saturday night’s 30-lap Renegades of Dirt Late Model-sanctioned race on Hilly Ridge Sales & Service Night.

Eckert’s ninth career win at the track and fourth overall this season was worth $4,000.

Joey Amantea of Mt. Pocono scored his first career sprint car win in the 20-lap USAC East Coast wingless 360 sprint car race, while Jake Jones of Hunlock Creek won his sixth race of the year in the 15-lap roadrunner championship.

Selinsgrove Speedway returns to racing action at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 13, with a four division show of super late models, PASS/IMCA 305 sprint cars, limited late models, and roadrunners on Fairfield Chevrolet night. Gates will open at 5 p.m.

On the start of the super late model feature, fifth-place starter Coleby Frye got momentarily sideways in turns one and two and collected Jim Yoder, Brett Schadel, and Tyson Mowery.

When the race resumed, second-place starter Rick Eckert pulled into the early lead and was chased by fourth-place starter Jeff Rine, who got by polesitter Ryan Montgomery for the runner-up position on the restart.

At the completion of lap five, the top five consisted of Eckert, Rine, Montgomery, fifth-place starter Shaun Jones, and third-place starter Bryan Bernheisel.

B. Bernheisel moved into third at the halfway point as 10th-place starter Dylan Yoder began to show a lot of speed in the second half of the race and powered into the top five. With 10 laps to race, Eckert was navigating his way through lapped traffic.

On a lap 24 restart, D. Yoder horsepowered his way into third and set his sights on Eckert and Rine. At the finish, Eckert scored the win by 3.6 seconds over Rine, D. Yoder, B. Bernheisel, and seventh-place starter Jim Bernheisel.

Polesitter Mike Thompson powered into the lead at the start of the wingless sprint car main event. Third-place starter Joey Amantea moved into the runner-up at the start and engaged in a high-speed chase with Thompson.

By lap five, a war on wheels unfolded between Thompson and Amantea as current points leader and seven-time winner Briggs Danner advanced to third and made it a close three-car battle at the front of the pack.

At the halfway point, Amantea was pulling sliders on Thompson for the lead only to have Thompson power back underneath for the front spot. On the 14th circuit, Amantea pulled a slider in turn two for the lead and made light contact with Thompson, who lost two spots as a result of the tangle.

With Amantea setting the pace, Danner set his sights on the leader. At the checkered flag, Amantea was victorious by just .97 of a second over Danner, Thompson, Steve Drevicki, and Ed Aikin.

Fourth-place starter Jake Jones passed second-place starter Tom Underwood at the start/finish line to lead the first lap of the roadrunner championship race.

Jones went on to wire the field with Underwood in pursuit until the final lap when ninth-place starter Keith Bissinger made a late-race charge into second.

Jones was victorious by a comfortable margin over Bissinger, Underwood, Matt Ney, and Levi Vial.

FREDDIE RAHMER SCORES RACK DADDIES RUMBLE TITLE BELT; Jeff Rohrbaugh Wins 358 Sprint Feature; Bobby Beard Dominates

Saturday, August 6, 2022 (7:30PM) DCS SCHOOL OF DRIVING NIGHT: 410 Sprints, 358 Sprints and 600 Xcel Modifieds plus York County Racing Club Night

Saturday, August 13, 2022 MOTOSPORTS NIGHT: 410 Sprints, Central PA Legends and Wingless Sportsman

Saturday, August 20, 2022 (7:30PM) BARRY SKELLY MEMORIAL: 410 Sprints, 358 Sprints (Summer Series) and ARDC Midgets

Abbottstown, PA (July 30, 2022) – The first Rack Daddies Rumble title went to Freddie Rahmer. After Rahmer put on the title belt in victory lane he shared, “That was a tough race. I didn’t have a good start. I lost positions at the beginning and just kept fighting. I don’t know that we were the best car.”

Rahmer lined up eighth for the start of the 30-lap, $5,000 to win feature. Glenndon Forsythe took the lead early in the race with Chad Trout taking over the top spot on lap 6. Trout looked to be running away from the field but two late race cautions allowed Rahmer to close in and eventually take the lead with the white flag waving.

Chase Dietz had also worked his way to the front of the field and was tracking down Trout along with Rahmer, “Just getting Chase there before the last yellow was key. Trout was going pretty good.”

Rahmer was lined up second behind Trout for the final restart of the race, “The last restart I just rolled my wing front. Just figured I’d do what he didn’t do down here.”

Saturday’s win was Rahmer’s fourth of the season at Lincoln and first since June 11th.

A pair of number 5 cars shared the front row for the Rack Daddies Rumble, John Walp and Glenndon Forsythe. Forsythe took the lead in turn 2 from Walp and Mark Smith followed taking second at the line on the first lap. Chad Trout drove to the outside of Walp in turns 1 and 2 to take third. Trout drove by Smith on the back stretch to take second on lap 4.

Trout closed in on Forsythe as Forsythe was blowing smoke out of the car. Trout took the lead on lap 6. Chase Dietz was all over Smith for third and took the spot.

Aaron Bollinger was sitting sideways in turn 4 on lap 8 bringing out the caution.

The top five for the restart were Trout, Forsythe, Dietz, Smith and Rahmer. Trout held the lead with Dietz looking to the outside of Forsythe but could not make the pass. Rahmer drove by Smith for fourth which led to a three-car battle for second.

Dietz slid Forsythe for second on lap 10 and Rahmer followed, taking the spot coming out of turn 4 on lap 11.

Lapped traffic became a factor halfway through the feature at lap 15. At first Rahmer stuck with Dietz as they worked through lapped traffic but Dietz started to pull away from Rahmer on lap 22 as he reeled in Trout.

Trey Hivner spun in turn 4 on lap 22 bringing out the yellow flag.

Dietz looked to the outside of Trout on the restart with Chad holding onto the lead. Rahmer then looked to the outside of Dietz for second and could not make the pass.

Dietz and Rahmer continued to battle for second, which is exactly what Trout needed to pull away from the field. Rahmer took the runner-up spot by half a car length at the line on lap 25.

Tyler Ross and Smith got together in turn 2 as they battled for fourth bringing out the caution on lap 28.

Trout, Rahmer, Dietz, Kyle Moody and Forsythe lined up for a green, white, checkered finish. Rahmer tried the outside on the restart but Trout pulled away coming out of turn 2. Rahmer stuck with him and took the lead at the line as the white flag waved.

Rahmer crossed the line .831 seconds ahead of Trout for the win. Dietz finished third and Moody was fourth. Forsythe rounded out the top five.

Riley Emig was the hard charger, making his way to a 13th place finish after starting 22nd. John Walp was the Lucky Buck award winner after finishing 16th.

Jeff Rohrbaugh Wins 358 Sprint Feature

Eddie Strada started on the pole of the 20-lap 358 Sprint feature on Saturday night. Strada took the lead when the green flag dropped with Hayden Miller on his bumper

Four cars battled for the lead as Jeff Rohrbaugh and Nash Ely split Miller with Rohrbaugh moving into second, Ely third and Miller fourth.

Rohrbaugh took the lead on lap 2 and Ely followed on the following lap, getting by Strada for second.

Ely was closing in on Rohrbaugh with Cody Fletcher not far behind in third. The yellow flag flew on lap 6 when Nat Tuckey was off the pace on the front stretch.

Rohrbaugh led Ely, Fletcher, Strada and Miller to the cone for a single-file restart.

Rohrbaugh had a good restart with Ely opting to run a higher line which allowed him to stick with Rohrbaugh. Points leader, Steve Owings, was working his way to the front from his eighth place starting spot and was running fourth by lap 7.

As Ely and Fletcher battled for second, Rohrbaugh was able to pull away. Once Ely held solidly held second, Fletcher was left to fend off Owings. A fierce battle between Fletcher and Owings ensued as they raced wheel to wheel down the back stretch for third. Fletcher held the spot.

With Fletcher in his rear view, Ely went back to reeling in Rohrbaugh. Owings got by Fletcher and tracked down Ely with five laps to go.

Owings was nearly wheel to wheel at the white flag with Ely for second. Rohrbaugh got to the checkered flag .889 seconds ahead of Owings for his first win of the season. Ely finished third and Fletcher was fourth. Miller crossed the line fifth.

Zachary Cool was the hard charger driving from 21st to 14th and Frankie Herr earned the Lucky Buck award for finishing 11th.

Bobby Beard Dominates

Bobby Beard and Dan Zechman shared the front row for the start of the 20-lap Limited Late Model feature. Zechman had the slight advantage as they raced into turn 1 but Beard took the lead off turn 2. The yellow flag waved before a lap was completed when Ray Ciccarelli, Cameron Benyou, Bruce Kane and Harry Shipe got together in turns 3 and 4.

Beard took the lead on the second start with Travis Mease up to second as Zechman got shuffled back to sixth.

Beard, looking for 10th career win in the division at Lincoln, held a solid lead over Mease as Zechman and Jake Moser raced side by side for third.

Zechman recovered from his rough start and got by Mease for second on lap 6. Wayne Pfeil spun in turn 4 bringing out the caution. The top five for the restart were Beard, Zechman, Moser, Mease and Zach Kauffman.

A four-car battle for fifth between Kauffman, Tommy Slanker, Andrew Yoder and Jed Latshaw was materializing as Beard was out front by himself.

Lapped traffic came into the picture for Beard with five laps to go, right before the yellow flag waved on lap 16 when Kyle Bachman was off the pace and stopped in turn 3.

Beard led Zechman, Moser, Mease and Latshaw to the cone for the late race restart. Moser got under Zechman as they battled for second with Moser taking the spot on lap 17.

Yoder made a late race charge, getting up to fifth on lap 18 and moving into third with one lap to go.

Beard got to the checkered flag 1.765 seconds ahead of Moser for his 10th Lincoln Speedway Limited Late Model win. Yoder crossed the line third and Latshaw was fourth. Zechman completed the top five.

This Saturday, August 6, Lincoln Speedway is back in action with DCS School of Driving Night featuring 410 Sprints, 358 Sprints and 600 Xcel Modifieds. Racing starts at 7:30PM with pit gates open at 5PM and grandstands open at 5:30PM.

HEIMBACH HOLDS OFF SMITH FOR SECOND CAREER 410 SPRINT CAR WIN;

BERNHEISEL BESTS ECKERT & SATTERLEE FOR CLOSE LATE MODEL VICTORY;

JONES WINS SECOND ROADRUNNER 20, FIFTH RACE OF SEASON

SELINSGROVE, Pa. – Blane Heimbach of Selinsgrove held off Ryan Smith of Kunkletown for the $5,000 victory in Saturday night’s 25-lap Jeff’s Auto Body Summer Championship race at Selinsgrove Speedway.

For Heimbach, who is one of the track’s all-time career leading 358-360 sprint car winners, it was his second in the 410 sprint car ranks at the wheel of the Creasy Signs No. 12 entry.

Bryan Bernheisel of Lebanon came out the winner of a thrilling 25-lap super late model championship race over Rick Eckert of York and Gregg Satterlee of Rochester Mills.

Bernheisel also collected $5,000 for this second win of the season and the 11th of his career at the track. He became the first repeat winner in the division while driving the Lazer Chassis No. 119.

Jake Jones of Hunlock Creek drove to his second career win in the annual Roadrunner 20 race. The win was also his fifth of the year at the track.

Selinsgrove Speedway’s next race will be at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Aug.6, featuring the Renegades of Dirt Super Late Model Series in a $4,000-to-win race plus the USAC East Coast Wingless 360 sprint cars, and a roadrunner championship race sponsored by Hilly Ridge Sales & Service.

Third-place starter Blane Heimbach got a start in the sprint car feature and pulled into the early lead. The race was stopped on lap two for a three-car incident in turn two when Ron Aurand’s car turned over on its side.

When the race resumed, Heimbach led sixth-place starter Ryan Smith while a battle for third unfolded between polesitter Nick Sweigart and second-place starter Mark Smith.

By lap nine, the leaders began to encounter slower traffic and R. Smith kept Heimbach in his sights. The caution flag regrouped the field again on lap 12 for debris.

On lap 22, Michael Walter, who was racing fourth, crashed hard in turn three when one of his car’s tires exploded. The race was slowed again with one lap to go when M. Smith’s car developed a flat tire.

In the chase to the checkered flag, Heimbach was victorious by just .80 of a second over Smith, Sweigart, fifth-place starter Chad Trout, and seventh-place starter Steve Buckwalter.

In the super late model feature, second-place starter Jim Bernheisel powered into the lead at the drop of the green flag. J. Bernheisel was chased by his son and polesitter Bryan Bernheisel and fourth-place starter Tim Wilson in the early laps of the race.

The leaders caught slower traffic by lap six when fifth-place starter Coleby Frye advanced to third, only to drop off the pace two laps later.

The first caution flag of the race waved on lap 11 for debris on the speedway. When the race resumed, J. Bernheisel set the pace in front of B. Bernheisel as 10th-place starter Rick Eckert made a thrilling pass between both sixth-place starter Jeff Rine and seventh-place starter Gregg Satterlee for the third position.

J. Bernheisel’s bid for his first win of the season came to an end when his car fell off the pace on lap 16, allowing B. Bernheisel to inherit the lead with Eckert and Satterlee in tow.

The top three broke away from the pack in a close, high-speed chase for the lead and win with B. Bernheisel coming out the victor by just .53 of a second over Eckert, Satterlee, 15th-place starter Dylan Yoder, and third-place starter Andrew Yoder.

Polesitter Tom Underwood led the first lap of the Roadrunner 20 until sixth-place starter Keith Bissinger stormed into the front spot. On the fifth circuit, second-place starter and runner Nate Romig bobbled in turn two, allowing fourth-place starter Jake Jones to power into second.

At the halfway point, just as Jones was challenging for the lead in turns three and four, Bissinger’s car developed a flat tire and brought out the caution flag.

For the rest of the way, Jones went unchallenged as ninth-place starter Levi Vial showed some speed and powered into the second position in the final laps. Bob Bussey, Dan Condo, and Romig rounded out the top five.

BRAD SWEET’S FIRST WILLIAMS GROVE WINS COMES IN CHAMPION RACING OIL

SUMMER NATIONALS FINALE

MECHANICSBURG, PA – Brad Sweet has won the Knoxville Nationals and the

King’s Royal, but had never won at Williams Grove Speedway.

The World of Outlaws point leader and three-time champion changed that

stat on Saturday night using a late-race pass to win the $20,000

Champion Racing Oil Summer Nationals, and his first Williams Grove

win. It also ended a 31-race winless streak for Sweet, who hadn’t won

with the series since March.

“You know it’s a weird year when we’re at the Summer Nationals and I

get my second win and it’s at Williams Grove,” Sweet said. “We’re gone

through a lot of adversity this year. It’s been a tough year. We’ve

been working on this Williams Grove set-up for a long time. It’s a

pretty special night for us. It’s such a relief to win here. It was a

great race and a racy race track.”

Sheldon Haudenschild led the field down to start the 30-lap Champion

Racing Oil Summer Nationals finale. It was Donny Schatz grabbing the

lead over Haudenschild, Brad Sweet and Danny Dietrich.

While the top four remained the same, eighth starter David Gravel

wrestled fifth from Carson Macedo.

Haudenschild ran the middle groove keeping pace with Schatz running the top.

He ducked under him off the second turn taking the lead down the

backstretch and into turn three with six laps completed.

Haudenschild began lapping cars with Schatz and Sweet in tow. They

kept it close in traffic and then even heavier traffic at the half-way

point.

Schatz raced inside of Haudenschild for the lead. Haudenschild got

blocked in traffic off turn two. They raced side-by-side down the

backstretch. Haudenschild got a great run around the top passing both

Schatz and Logan Schuchart off turn four to keep the top spot.

A three-car crash in turn three stopped the race with 12 laps to go.

Macedo, Anthony Macri and Kyle Larson were involved. All drivers were

okay. Macri was the only car able to restart.

Haudenschild blasted the top on the restart with Schatz trying to hold

back Sweet for second. James McFadden passed Gravel for fifth as

Schatz maintained second.

With Haudenschild in control, a three- car race for second developed between

Schatz, Sweet and Dietrich.

Sweet worked the middle groove racing by Schatz with seven to go. He

was 1.8 second back of the leader.

Dietrich passed Schatz for third with six to go.

Sweet continued working the middle gaining on the leader. They closed

on the back of the field with three to go.

Haudenschild jumped the fourth turn cushion and Sweet took the lead

with two to go. Dietrich got under Haudenschild for second. He closed

on Sweet on the final lap. The slower car of Brandon Rahmer was in

Dietrich’s line in turn one. This was enough to keep Sweet out front over

the final lap.

Sweets’s win came by only .339 over Dietrich.

“Some of my driving habits don’t work for this place, so we had to

build a completely different car to come to this race track,” Sweet

said. “It’s going in the rafters and the next time it comes back out

will be the National Open. My car was really good and I could move

around.”

“Happy to be second,” Dietrich said. “Brad was good and was running

the same line I was running in one and two. I was waiting on the track

to come to me. With five to go, I decided to trunk the wing and let it

eat. Just ran out of time. If Brandon would have followed Brad through

three and four, I might have had a shot, but you never know. Maybe we

could have drag-raced to the checkers, but it’s hard to say.”

Haudenschild, Schatz, and Freddie Rahmer completed the top five.

McFadden, Gravel, Spencer Bayston, Jacob Allen and Brock Zearfoss

rounded out the top 10.

Macri set quick time over the 35-car field with a lap of 17.258. James

McFadden, Spencer Bayston, Sweet and Macedo completed the top five in

qualifying.

Schatz, McFadden, Gravel and Devon Borden won the heat races. Sheldon

Haudenschild won the dash over Schatz and Sweet. Brandon Rahmer won

Marks.

LANCE DEWEASE WINS OPENING NIGHT OF CHAMPION RACING OIL SUMMER

NATIONALS AT WILLIAMS GROVE SPEEDWAY

July 22, 2022

MECHANICSBURG, PA – Lance Dewease passed Brent Marks with four laps to

go to win the opening night of the Champion Racing Oil Summer

Nationals Friday night at Williams Grove Speedway.

Dewease’s 106th career Grove victory was worth $10,000 against the

World of Outlaws.

“I don’t know if we had the best racecar, but I have the most patience

around this place,” Dewease said. “I was trying not to show Brent that

I was on the bottom because he’s good everywhere right now and can run

all the lines. I didn’t want him to move down, so I wanted to make

sure I got by him before he seen me. We haven’t had a very good year

by our standards. To get a win against these guys and PA Posse top

three is pretty sweet. This win gets you pumped back up.”

A wide and racy Grove surface provided exciting racing all night long.

“Lance is extremely good here,” Marks said. “I didn’t really know

where to run there at the end. I felt comfortable on the bottom after

the restart, I ran it for two laps, but I also felt comfortable up

top. The cushion got too big around the top of one and two and

carrying my speed was too hard. I kind of let that one go.”

Marks and Anthony Macri shared the front row with Marks getting the

lead. Outlaws point leader Brad Sweet wrestled second from Macri

during the opening laps.

Marks led, but Sweet was closing with five laps complete. Carson

Macedo raced fourth and Dewease fifth.

Marks began lapping slower cars with about a 1-second lead over Sweet.

Marks got immediately held up in traffic and Sweet was on his back

bumper. Macri jumped the second turn cushion allowing Macedo to get

by, but Dewease got a great run off the corner and passed both of

them.

Marks got by the lapped car and increased his lead over Sweet as

Macedo and Dewease traded the third spot.

The top two were in very heavy traffic. Sweet caught Marks and ducked

under him in turn one, but couldn’t make the pass with 12 to go. This

also allowed Dewease to catch the top two.

The racing was very close as they worked through the traffic. Marks

cleared two cars in turn three giving himself some breathing room with

eight to go.

The yellow flew giving the leaders a clear track for the final eight laps.

Marks controlled the restart as Dewease passed Sweet for second.

Marks raced the cushion with Dewease closing using the inside line.

Dewease made the winning pass as they raced off the second turn with

four to go.

“I found the bottom when we were racing in lapped cars and I didn’t

feel that bad,” Dewease said. “I hung down there and made it work.”

Marks stayed close, but then Dewease ran a perfect lap and pulled

away. Marks jumped the first turn cushion giving Dewease an

unchallenged final lap. Marks settled for second. Marci nipped Sweet

for third. Sweet and Gravel completed the top five. Macedo, Donny

Schatz, Danny Dietrich, Kyle Larson and James McFadden rounded out the

top 10.

McFadden set quick time over the 36-car field with a lap of 17.407.

Sweet, Macri, Macedo and Dewease were the next four.

McFadden won the first heat race over Dewease. Sweet won the second

heat over David Gravel. Donny Schatz won the third heat over Macri.

Macedo won the final heat over Brent Marks. Marks won the dash over

Macri and Macedo.

The $20,000 to win Champion Racing Oil Summer Nationals finale for the

Kyle Larson Tames the World of Outlaws for the Third Consecutive Time at Port Royal Speedway

By- Justin Snyder

Port Royal Speedway– PORT ROYAL, Penn (July 21, 2022) – Kyle Larson continued his dominant ways against the NOS Energy Drink World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series at the Port Royal Speedway as he picked up his third consecutive victory at the Speedway with the series.

Larson didn't compete with the series at the Juniata County oval in 2021, but swept the 2020 October Nittany Classic. This win was worth $20,000 and came over Danny Dietrich and Anthony Macri.

Larson and the night's $300 Packer's Concessions, LLC. Fast Time Award winner, Donny Schatz, led the field of 26 sprint cars to the green flag and it was all Larson from the drop of the green flag as the defending NASCAR Cup Series Champion led lap one.

Fourth-place starter Danny Dietrich moved into a podium position on the opening lap as well, but Larson quickly distanced himself from all challengers and held a 4.25 second advantage by the completion of lap five.

Dietrich got by Schatz for the runner-up spot on the same lap, while Sheldon Haudenschild moved into third entering turn one on the following lap. Sixth-place starter Jeff Halligan cracked the top five on the sixth circuit as well, while Larson was already deep in lapped traffic and setting a quick pace.

After three more laps Dietrich had cut the distance in half and by lap 11 Halligan had gotten by Schatz for the fourth position. Two laps later Anthony Macri, who started ninth, climbed into the top five for the first time, but by the halfway mark it was still Larson by 3.3 seconds with the rest of the field in tow.

Macri moved into fourth with 12 laps remaining and three laps later he dispatched of Haudenschild for the final podium position.

World of Outlaws Sprint Cars Set to Invade Port Royal Speedway for $20,000 Spectacular

By- Justin Snyder

Port Royal Speedway- PORT ROYAL, Pa- (July 19, 2022) Port Royal Speedway returns to action this Wednesday, July 20th, for a rare mid-week visit by the NOS Energy Drink World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series with $20,000 on the line for the winner. The Path Valley Wingless Sportsman are also on the card for a huge event you won't want to miss!

This will be the ninth consecutive season that the Outlaws visit the Speed Palace, but it will be the first time the series hits the Juniata County oval in July. Later this season the series will return for it's customary October visit for the two-day Nittany Showdown.

In two visits last season, the driver's visiting victory lane at the track were a pair of first-time Port Royal Speedway winners. Kerry Madsen threaded the needle between PA Posse and World of Outlaws as he scored a victory for 'The Other Guys" behind the wheel of Tony Stewart's No. 14 Sprint Car, while the finale went to Spencer Bayston as he prepared for his rookie season on the Outlaw Tour with CJB Motorsports.

Other past winners in Outlaw competition at the track include Donny Schatz (4), Kyle Larson (2), Logan Schuchart, Brad Sweet, Ryan Smith, Jason Meyers, Brad Furr, Danny Wood, Doug Wolfgang, Don Kreitz Jr. and Lynn Paxton won the very first visit in July of 1979.

Logan Wagner sits on top of the Weikert's Livestock 410 Sprint Car point standings in search of his historic fifth consecutive championship at the Speedway, but he saw his lead nearly cut in half two weekend's ago as a result of an accident on track. His father, Mike Wagner, now only trails by 145 points with Jeff Halligan (-260), Lucas Wolfe (-500) and Dylan Cisney (-535) rounding out the top five.

Halligan is the most recent winner at the Speedway as he owns two victories at the Speed Palce this season. Anthony Macri leads the local contingent of drivers this season at Port Royal with five victories, while Logan Wagner has four. Other winners this season at the track include Lance Dewease, Rick Lafferty and arguably the hottest driver in the country right now, Brent Marks.

It is expected that several other outsiders will make the trek to the Juniata County oval as well.

To go along with the PA Posse vs the Outlaws rivalry, the Outlaws points battle is very much up for grabs entering the weekend. Currently Sweet holds a 42-point advantage in the standings over David Gravel and a 58-point advantage over third-place Carson Macedo. Sheldon Haudenschild (-80) and Schuchart (-122) make up the top five.

Schatz, Bayston, James McFadden, Jacob Allen and Brock Zearfoss complete the top ten. Kasey Kahene will also be in attendance as he continues in his rookie season as a regular with the World of Outlaws along with Kraig Kinser, Noah Gass, Bill Rose and Robbie Price filling in for Jason Sides.

Wednesday's event will feature the Wingless Sportsman on the card and it will be Steve Wilbur entering the event as the most recent winner at the Speedway with the series.

Reserve Seats ($35) are still available for the weekend and are on sale through the World of Outlaws website.

Ticket prices and times are as follows-

WEDNNESDAY, JULY 20TH- $30 Adult General Admission, Students (12-17) $20, Kids- Free, Pit Admission $40

Williams Grove World Of Outlaws Champion Racing Oil Summer Nationals Set For July 22 & 23, Races To Pay $1,000 and $1,100 To Start

7/17/22

Mechanicsburg – The Champion Racing Oil World of Outlaws Sprint Cars Series Summer Nationals iis this week at Williams Grove Speedway, slated for Friday and Saturday, July 22 and 23 at 7:30 pm.

The outlaws sprint cars will invade Williams Grove Speedway for the two-day summer stand to battle the Pennsylvania Posse sprint car stars for what will be the second match-up of the 2022 season.

The modern-day, consecutive-year history of the Summer Nationals dates back to 2002 when the show was a three-day event with Danny Lasoski, Joey Saldana and Greg Hodnett taking wins.

However events dubbed “Summer Nationals” were first contested at the oval back in 1972 with Jan Opperman and Bobbie Adamson recorded as the victors.

Both nights of this year’s Summer Nationals shows will include full programs of time trials, heats and feature events.

The July 22 outlaws-posse match will feature a 25-lap main paying $10,000 to win and $1,000 to start while the July 23 Saturday finale Champion Racing Oil Summer Nationals feature will offer $20,000 to the winner while paying $1,100 to start.

Last year, Sheldon Haudenschild and Brent Marks split Summer Nationals winning laurels with Marks scoring the big 20K in the Saturday finale.

California’s Brad Sweet is the current outlaws point leader over Ohio’s Haudenschild.

Sweet has just one win on the season to date while Haudenschild has posted eight.

Californian Carson Macedo, now third in outlaws points, seems to have set himself up as the driver most consistently in the hunt for a win on any given night this year however.

At Williams Grove, both Marks and Anthony Macri seem to be the fastest drivers this year.

Myerstown’s Marks has scored a hat trick of only big wins for himself at the track this season, taking the Tommy Classic in April, the Mitch Smiith Memorial in early July and outlaws win in May.

And, having just scored the $100,000 Historical Big One and the $175,000 Kings Royal at Eldora Speedway, Marks is by far the highest dollar earner in sprint car racing anywhere this season.

Macri of Dillsburg is the winningest driver of the season anywhere across the nation.

With 16 overall wins on the year, he’s taken three at Williams Grove with impressive style.

Since 1956, Champion Racing Oil has been purpose built for engine performance.

Containing premium levels of anti-wear additives and high quantities of ZDDP, Champion Racing Oils are proven to meet the lubrication demands of all competition and race engines.

Learn more about Champion Racing Oil by visiting www.championsusechampion.com.

Adult general admission for July 22 is set at $30 with Saturday’s race priced at $35. Youth ages 13 – 20 are priced at $15 each night. Kids ages 12 and under are always admitted for FREE at Williams Grove Speedway.

Williams Grove Summer Nationals Celebrates 21st Running This Weekend

7/17/22

Mechanicsburg – The Champion Racing Oil Summer Nationals at Williams Grove Speedway, coming up this Friday and Saturday, July 22 and 23, will celebrate its 21st running this week.

The first edition of the current Summer Nationals was a three-day event back in 2002 with a pair of preliminary mains taken by Danny Lasoski and Joey Saldana while local driver Greg Hodentt upended the World of Outlaws for the big score on Saturday driving for the Apple Motorsports stables.

At the time, the three-day World of Outlaws show at Williams Grove was billed as the first of its kind since only one other previous three-day stand at the track in history, also billed as a Summer Nationals, in August 1984 when Sammy Swindell, Brad Doty and Steve Kinser took wins.

Current World of Outlaws kingpin Donny Schatz took two of three at the track in 2003 with Don Kreitz Jr. taking a preliminary night.

The 2004 version saw Lance Dewease and Lasoski split a pair of mains.

Another three-day format in 2005 saw Jason Johnson score a popular victory for local owners Jim and Sandy Kline while Paul McMahan scored another prelim with track powerhouse Fred Rahmer taking a raucous victory in the Saturday finale.

In 2006 outlaws invaders Terry McCarl, Craig Dollansky and Dary Pittman swept the three-day affair.

Donny Schatz bookended the three-day event with wins in 2007 while local Brian Leppo of Spring Grove was sandwiched in the middle with a win aboard the Swope No. 71 machine.

Becoming a two-day event in 2008, outlaws Donny Schatz and Daryn Pittman swept the shows but the following year belonged to local drivers Greg Hodnett in the Kline No. 22 and Cody Darrah with Darrah taking the win in a make-up feature held during National Open weekend in October.

The 2010 version was all Pennsylvania Posse as Lance Dewease took night one aboard the Don Owens No. 30C and Hodnett returning for another win for the Kline team.

Hodnett struck again in 2011, this time in the Trone Special No. 39, along with outlaw driver Jason Meyers.

Just one show was completed in 2012 with Darrah back for another win, this time aboard an outlaws mount owned by Kasey Kahne.

Again, one show was completed in 2013 with Schatz again a victor but the pendulum swung the other way again in 2014 when locals Hodnett and Dewease swept the two-day weekend show with Hodnett now driving for Michael Heffner and Dewease aboard the Conduit Connections No. 14.

The locals made it back-to-back sweeps of the event in 2015 when Danny Dietrich and Stevie Smith trounced the outlaws.

Pittman was back for a win in 2016 with Dewease, now aboard the Kreitz No. 69K, taking the Saturday finale.

Local driver Brock Zearfoss piloted the Long No. 58 to the win on night one in 2017 while Greg Hodnett ended up scoring the second feature aboard the Heffner mount albeit as a make up main in late September.

Only the first night was completed in 2018 with Dewease returning for a victory, still in the 69K.

The 2019 Summer Nationals saw Tim Shaffer pilot the Rudzik No. 49 to the opening night win while Schatz got back to Summer Nationals victory for the first time since 2013.

Shane Stewart fended off Anthony Macri to win opening night in 2020 while David Gravel dominated on Saturday to lead flag to flag.

Last year, Sheldon Haudenschild and Brent Marks split Summer Nationals winning laurels with Marks scoring the big 20K Saturday finale.

Haudenschild’s Friday win was the first of his career at Williams Grove.

Adult general admission for July 23 is set at $30 with Saturday’s race priced at $35. Youth ages 13 – 20 are priced at $15 each night. Kids ages 12 and under are always admitted for FREE at Williams Grove Speedway.

Dewease Preps For Outlaws With Williams Grove Wolfe Tribute Race 6K Win

Locke returns to 358 sprint victory lane

7/15/22

Mechanicsburg – Lance Dewease pocketed his second Williams Grove Speedway 410 sprint car win of the season on Friday night, taking a $6,000 victory in the Randy Wolfe Tribute World of Outlaw Tune Up race.

In the 358 sprint main, Derek Locke returned to victory lane as well for the second time this season.

The start of the 25-lap Wolfe Tribute event was slowed when outside polesitter Devon Borden bicycled on the turn two cushion and spun.

Borden’s misfortune put Dewease on the front row for the new start and the Fayetteville flyer wasted little time taking control when the green flag reappeared.

The leader was then slowed for a spun Tyler Ross on the fourth lap.

Jeff Halligan saw Freddie Rahmer wrestle second away on the restart as Dewease pulled out to a four second lead by lap nine.

Dylan Norris took third with six away.

A final caution flag on lap 13 regrouped the field with Rahmer proving no match for Dewease.

The ensuing laps showcased a great battle between Norris and Troy Wagaman Jr. for the third spot as the pair repeatedly got by one another for the position only to see the former again reclaim the position.

Wagaman did finally secure the spot with two laps to go before closing on Rahmer.

And Wagaman did indeed get by Rahmer for second as the pair raced through turns three and four as they headed to the checkers but Rahmer was able to muscle back in front by the finish.

Dewease crossed the line by 4.550 seconds ahead of Rahmer.

It was Dewease’s 105th career victory at Williams Grove.

Wagman was third followed by Norris and Chase Dietz.

Sixth through 10th went to Lucas Wolfe, Jeff Halligan, Brandon Rahmer, Devon Borden and Robbie Kendall.

Heats worth $75 courtesy of Jim and Laura Allebach went to Dewease, Halligan and Norris.

Chase Dietz was the PA Dyno Hard Charger and he also earned the Orange Crate Brewing Company Randy Wolfe Tribute Bonus worth $555 for finishing in the fifth spot.

Halligan earned the pole for the main by winning the dash.

Dewease set fast time over the field with a lap of 17.233 seconds.

Locke took the lead from Matt Findley on lap eight of the 20 lap 358 sprint main after starting the race sixth.

Findley had led from the beginning after starting on the pole and while running the bottom lane he allowed just enough room in turn one for Locke to get a nose to his inside, allowing for the race winning pass.

Locke began lapping cars with four laps to go and cruised to the win by 3.430 seconds ahead of Findley with Doug Hammaker, Chad Criswell and Nash Ely completing the top five.

Sixth through 10th went to Brett Wanner, Cameron Smith, Cody Fletcher, Steve Owings and Devin Adams.

Heats went to Findley, Cody Phillips and Wanner with Tyler Brehm scoring the consolation race.

The Champion Racing Oil World of Outlaws Summer Nationals are coming up July 22 and 23 at the speedway, getting underway at 7:30 both nights.

Abbottstown, PA (July 9, 2022) – Aaron Bollinger drew the pole for the 30-lap, $5,000 to win feature on Saturday night. Anthony Macri who was looking to add to his nation leading win count total, drew the second starting spot. Macri shot out to the lead when the green flag dropped, but the red flag came out on the start when Austin Bishop flipped in turn 1. Zane Rudisill, Brie Hershey and Danny Dietrich headed to the pits before the restart, ending their nights.

Bollinger had a better start on the second attempt and went high in turns 1 and 2 to hold onto the lead. Macri was running second, Freddie Rahmer was third and Chad Trout sat in fourth.

Tyler Ross fell off the pace on lap 4 bringing out the caution. Bollinger led Macri, Rahmer, Trout and Kyle Moody on the restart. Bollinger and Macri ran the same line through turns 1 and 2 with Aaron holding onto the lead. Moody was working on Trout for fourth and threw a slider in turns 1 and 2 to take the spot on lap 7.

Glenndon Forsythe was off the pace on lap 12 bringing out yellow flag conditions.

The top five for the restart were Bollinger, Macri, Rahmer, Moody and Trout. Macri pulled a wheelie on the restart allowing Bollinger to pull away. Chase Dietz was working on Trout for a spot in the top five. Dietz took fifth place by a nose at the line on lap 16.

Lapped traffic came into play on lap 19 for Bollinger. Aaron got a little sideways in turn 4 as he worked his way by a lapped car, allowing Macri to close in. Macri was on Bollinger’s bumper at the line on lap 23 and took the top spot in turns 1 and 2 to take the lead on lap 24.

The final caution of the race came on lap 26 when Scott Fisher slowed on the track. Macri had a solid restart ahead of Bollinger, Rahmer, Moody and Dietz.

Rahmer was throwing everything he had at Bollinger for second but could not get anything to stick.

Macri crossed the line 2.348 seconds ahead of Bollinger for the win. Rahmer finished third and Moody was fourth. Dietz completed the top five.

Dylan Norris was the hard charger, driving from 19th to finish eighth. The 410 sprint heat races were won by Robbie Kendall, Aaron Bollinger and Chad Trout.

Chad Criswell Wires Field for 358 Win

Pole-sitter Chad Criswell took the lead when the green flag waved ahead of Cody Phillips and Jeff Rohrbaugh. Cameron Smith and David Holbrook battled for fourth with Smith taking the spot. Steve Owings was working his way up through the field from his eighth starting spot battling Holbrook for fifth on lap 5.

A dicey situation in turn 4 unfolded ahead of the leaders on lap 8 as they caught the tail end of the field. Shortly after the leaders got through turn 4 the caution came out when Brett Wanner was off the pace.

Criswell led Phillips, Rohrbaugh, Smith and Holbrook to the cone for the restart. Rohrbaugh got under Phillips for second and took the spot on lap 9.

Owings got by Holbrook for fifth before the caution came out on lap 10 for Zachary Cool who stopped on the back stretch.

Rohrbaugh looked low on the restart but could not get by Criswell. Kyle Ganoe brought out the yellow on lap 13 when he stopped on the back stretch.

The top five for the restart were Criswell, Rohrbaugh, Phillips, Smith and Owings. Smith got by Phillips to take third on lap 14.

The yellow flag came out again on lap 17 when Justin Foster stopped on the front stretch.

Smith went to the outside of Rohrbaugh on the restart to challenge for second and took the spot with two laps to go before the final caution of the race came when Chris Frank and Holbrook got together in turn 2.

The field lined up for a two lap shoot out with Criswell, Smith, Rohrbaugh, Phillips and Owings up front.

Criswell crossed the line 1.259 seconds ahead of Smith for the $1,700 win. Rohrbaugh crossed the line third and Owings made a late race pass on Phillips to take fourth. Phillips held on to finish fifth.

Roland Scores $1,500 Classic Car Victory

Roland Brown and Jimmy Combs shared the front row for the start of the 15-lap, $1,500 to win Classic Car feature on Saturday night.

Roland took the lead at the green flag with Combs and Bill Brown racing side by side into turn 1 for second. Bill moved into second down the back stretch taking the spot from Combs.

Roland was pulling away from the field when the caution came out on lap 3 when Nate Todt spun in turn 4.

Roland held onto the lead on the restart as Combs got back by Bill for second. Lapped traffic came into play late in the race on lap 11. Just as the leaders got into lapped traffic the caution came out on lap 12 when Jim Rost got into the guardrail coming out of turn 2.

Combs got under Roland in turns 1 and 2 on the restart but could not make the pass.

The yellow flag would come out again on lap 14 when Joe Makowski stopped on the back stretch.

Once again Combs looked to the inside of Roland on the restart and once again Roland held onto the lead. Combs didn’t back off and Roland won the feature by only half a car length.

Career Of Randy Wolfe Feted Friday At Williams Grove

7/10/22

Mechanicsburg – The Pennsylvania Posse 410 sprint car stars will gather together to compete in the make-up Randy Wolfe Tribute Race and World of Outlaws Tune Up, paying $6,000 to win, coming up this Friday night, July 15, at Williams Grove Speedway.

The drivers will come together to honor the career of veteran sprint car ace Randy Wolfe of Mechanicsburg.

Now age 65, Wolfe got his start in racing by tagging along with his childhood neighbors to the races.

Plus, the Texaco station where super modified and modified star Bobby Gearhart’s car was kept wasn’t far from his house so that didn’t hurt either. .

Randy Wolfe first drove a go-kart in 1971 before helping out sprint car star Lee Osborne in 1973.

And then in 1976, with Gearhart’s familiar No 5 now painted on his racer, Wolfe went sprint car racing with the URC circuit where he won his first sprint car race ever, at Weedsport, New York, on July 4.

In 1977, Wolfe moved up to the regular sprint car division at Williams Grove Speedway and earned Rookie of the Year Honors at the track before going on to log a total of 11 wins at the historic oval.

His first Williams Grove win came in his rookie season as did the first help he ever had owning a car in the form of LPS Racers, AKA the Lebanon Pattern Shop owned by the Woelfling family.

Aside from the Woelflings, car owners came in the form of Bob Weikert, Ben Cook, Maynard Boop, Daryl Saucier, Bobby Glen and Roger Powell, Leon Wintermyer, Glen Hyneman, Ted Ganoe, Ken Cooper and Gene Jenkins before Wolfe wound down his career driving for Souderton car-owning couple Jim and Laura Allebach from 1996 through 1999.

But surely his most identifiable ride spanned the majority of the 1980’s when he went driving for brothers Bill and Jesse Keen in the Keen Transport No. 5W machine.

In total, Wolfe wrapped up his driving tenure with a total of 64 career sprint car wins including All Stars victories not the least of which was the East Bay Winternationals in 1990 at the wheel of the Wintermyer No. 1W.

Aside from Williams Grove, wins came at Selinsgrove, Lincoln, Port Royal, Susquehanna (now Baps), Silver Springs, Path Valley and in Expo, Ohio.

At the Grove, Wolfe scored both the Jack Gunn Memorial and the Early Bird Championship for Keens in 1984.

He rode home second in the 1983 Williams Grove National Open and he scored his only track title anywhere at Port Royal Speedway in 1982.

Today, Wolfe is still a machinist by trade, a skill he learned while working alongside Osborne back in the 1970s.

And he can still be found in the Williams Grove pits many nights, taking in all the action while watching his track titlist son Lucas Wolfe tour the speedway in that familiar No. 5W.

Gates for the Randy Wolfe Tribute Race on July 15 open at 5:30 with time trials slated for 7:30 pm.

Adult general admission is set at $20 with youth ages 13-20 admitted for just $10 while kids ages 12 and under are always admitted for FREE at Williams Grove Speedway.

Jeff Halligan Scores Second 410 Sprint Car Victory of the Season. Jeff Rine, Jared Miley and Andrew Yoder Score in Late Model Action

By Justin Snyder

Port Royal Speedway- PORT ROYAL, PA- (July 10, 2022)- Jeff Halligan was the last driver standing in a wild night of racing for the Weikert's Livestock 410 Sprint Cars as the young gun picked up his second victory of the season Saturday night.

The win was worth $4500 courtesy of an added bonus via Mike Cleck Paving & Sealcoating and came over Mike Wagner and Mike Walter II.

Rookie series driver Derek Hauck and Trenton Sheaffer led the field of 22 410 Sprint Cars to the green flag and it was Hauck getting the early jump over Sheaffer, Ryan Timms, Halligan and Ryan Taylor on the opening lap.

Dylan Cisney moved into the fourth position on lap two before cracking the podium for the first time one lap later. By lap four Cisney was up to second and one lap later it was Timms, the 15-year old from Oklahoma, moving into the final podium spot.

However, it was all Hauck up front for the first ten laps of the event. Cisney and Timms were putting on a spirited battle for the runner-up position, while simultaneously gaining quickly on the leader. One lap later Hauck had caught the tail end of the field and that was the opportunity needed for Cisney as he was able to garner the top spot with 13 laps to go of the 25 lap event coming out of turn four.

Timms followed suit and moved into the runner-up spot on the same circuit, while four-time defending track champion and ninth-place starter, Logan Wagner, was coming fast and up to fifth as well.

Cisney's advantage on the field sat at 1.044 seconds with 10 laps remaining, but that would be wiped out two laps later when Tyler Walton came to a stop on the frontstretch. This is where things started to get wild.

It appeared the crowd was set to witness an epic battle between a pair of No. 5's up front, however Timms blew a right rear tire while under caution and was forced to the pit area for repairs. He would rejoin the field.

Cisney led the field back to the green flag, with Hauck, Halligan and a pair of Wagner's in tow. Halligan got by the rookie for the runner-up position and brought Logan Wagner with him.

However, with the three drivers locked ever-so-tightly coming down the backstretch, Wagner and Hauck made contact and sent both of them spinning. Wagner broke a rear axle and got on his side to bring out the red flag, but both drivers were ok.

Halligan and Cisney swapped lines for the lead following the restart, which allowed Mike Wagner to slide into the second position past Halligan. However, two laps later Cisney's hopes at victory went away as he flipped over while leading in turn three as a result of a flat left-rear tire. He was ok, but would not return to the field.

With the lead now in his hand, Mike Wagner brought the field back to the green flag with five laps remaining. However, it only took one lap for Halligan to get by the veteran for the top spot. From there it was smooth sailing as the driver of the No. 45 went on the score the victory over Wagner and Mike Walter II.

Ryan Taylor and Sheaffer rounded out the top five, while Gerard McIntyre Jr., Kassidy Kreitz, Timms, Justin Whittall and Tyler Bear completed the top ten. McIntyre Jr. earned the $500 Valley Supply Hard Charger award after starting 19th on the grid, while Whittall earned the $1000 J&S Classics Warrior Award with a random draw of nine.

Rine and Tim Wilson led the field of 24 cars to the green flag with Rine getting the early jump on the field. After five laps of racing were completed, third-place starter Austin Berry sat in the runner-up position with fifth-place starter Stuhler in third.

Tenth-place starter Miley was up to fourth with 18 laps to go, while Rine was buried in heavy lapped traffic six laps later. Stuhler slipped by Berry for the runner-up position one lap later while Miley continued his march to the front by moving into third with 11 laps remaining.

With 10 laps remaining the lead for Rine sat at 2.305 seconds and with six laps to go, Stuhler had cut nearly half a second off the advantage. However, that was close as he'd get ads Rine cruised home to the victory worth $3000.

Stuhler, Miley, Berry and Tylor Emory completed the top five followed by Dylan Yoder, Tim Wilson, Kyle Lee, Logan Zarin and Jim Yoder. Miley earned the $200 Georges Used Cars Hard Charger award as well.

Miley was able to find his way to victory lane in the second feature that was a make-up from earlier in the season as he bested Stuhler and Chad Myers.

Kyle Lee and Myers led the field the green flag and it was Lee grabbing the lead on lap one. Miley up to third after five laps, while Stuhler was up to fourth. Two laps later Miley moved into the runner-up spot and with 13 to go he was all over the leader.

Coming to the start-finish line on the following lap, Miley slipped underneath Myers for the lead and that was all she wrote.

SHULTZ FENDS OFF BORDEN & HEIMBACH FOR FIRST 360 SPRINT CAR OPEN VICTORY;

DUKE & JONES TAKE 305 SPRINT CAR & ROADRUNNER CHECKERS

SELINSGROVE, Pa. – Jason Shultz held off the challenges of Devon Borden and Blane Heimbach for his first win in the 30-lap, 22nd Annual Mach 1 Chassis Open for 360 sprint cars Saturday night at Selinsgrove Speedway.

Shultz, of Carlisle, earned $5,000 for his third victory in four 360 sprint car races at the track this season behind the wheel of the Ritter Racing/Selinsgrove Ford No. 35. Shultz also clinched the 360 sprint car series track title with the win.

Ken Duke of Selinsgrove drove to his second Selinsgrove win of the season in the 20-lap 305 sprint car feature, while Jake Jones of Hunlock Creek scored his fourth win of the year in the 12-lap roadrunner race.

Selinsgrove Speedway’s next race is slated for 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, July 19, featuring the 410 sprint cars and super late models in 25-lap main events paying $5,000 to win for the track’s 76th Anniversary Race.

Shultz started on the front row for the main event and pulled into the early lead. The caution flag unfurled after the completion of the first lap when Jason Wagner spun into the fourth turn wall.

When the race resumed, Shultz led polesitter Josh Weller and fourth-place starter Blane Heimbach in a high-speed chase. Heimbach took over second from Weller with five down as fifth-place starter Devon Borden advanced to third by lap seven.

The leaders began to encounter slower traffic by lap 10 and an exciting chase ensued for the top five positions. On the 15th circuit, sixth-place starter Briggs Danner, who was racing in the top five, developed engine failure while Heimbach pulled off a thrilling save in turn three when his car got completely sideways. Then the caution flag waved when Mike Thompson stopped in turn three.

On the lap 16 restart, Shultz and Borden see-sawed for the lead. Just as Borden made another pass for the lead the caution flag came out again when Jake Karklin tagged the backstretch wall.

For the final restart, Shultz remained in front of the pack with Borden being challenged for second by Heimbach again. In the final laps, Heimbach secured the runner up position and attempted to track down Shultz to no avail.

At the checkered flag, Shultz was victorious by just 1.8 seconds over Heimbach, Borden, third-place starter Mark Smith, and eighth-place starter Derek Locke.

In the 305 sprint car feature, Duke wired the field for the victory but not without several challenges coming from polesitter Domenic Melair. Eighth-place starter Garrett Bard quickly advanced to third.

At the halfway point, Duke and Melair were racing wheel-to-wheel for the lead until a caution flag broke up the intense battle. When the race went back to green, Duke kept his sprint car out in front with Melair in close pursuit.

In the final four laps, 10th-place starter Kenny Heffner stormed into third and set his sights on the leaders. At the checkered flag, Duke was victorious by only 1.3 seconds over Melair, Heffner, Doug Dodson, and Bard.

In the night-cap roadrunner race, points leader and second-place starter Nate Romig powered into the early lead. Romig was leading polesitter Jake Jones until the fourth lap when Jones made the winning pass on the frontstretch.

Romig later developed a flat tire from racing contact in turn three on lap six. In the second half of the race fifth-place starter Keith Bissinger stormed into second and reeled in Jones in a battle for the lead and win.

Jones held on for the win over Bissinger, Joe Condo, Terry Kramer, and Matt Ney.

Mechanicsburg – Anthony Macri came from eighth starting spot to claim the 25-lap 410 sprint car feature at Williams Grove Speedway on Friday night,

The win was Macri’s 15th overall of the season and his third of the year at the speedway.

In the 25-lap USAC East sprint car main, Alex Bright held off a late race charge by Briggs Danner by the narrowest of margins to score his second win of the year at the track.

Driving the Westbrook 1W, Robbie Kendall blasted from the pole position into the lead at the start of the 410 sprint feature, holding sway over Brent Shearer during the first half of the race.

Kendall entered the backmarkers on the seventh tour as Macri battled with TJ Stutts for third.

Macri took second from Shearer with a low move in the first corner on the 12th lap just before a caution flag slowed the pace, wiping out a 2.014 second lead built by Kendall.

On the restart, Macri blasted under Kendall deep in the first turn and then slid up into the lead as Kendall tried to fight back working the inside lane off of the turn two cushion.

But Macri pulled away once in front only to have his pace slowed with nine laps to go when Justin Whittall slowed to a stop.

Dylan Norris wrestled with Kendall for second on the restart and briefly took the spot before Kendall returned the favor to hold the position to the finish.

Macri’s margin of victory was 4.704 seconds.

With Indiana mechanic Bernie Steuben turning the wrenches on Macri’s No. 39M, the winner was happy to take the checkers.

“I had a fire under my ass and I felt like I had a point to prove,” he said.

Danny Dietrich started 16th and motored to third at the finish, claiming the PA Dyno Hard Charger Award.

Norris rode home fourth followed by Freddie Rahmer.

Sixth through 10th went to Chase Dietz, TJ Stutts, Brent Shearer, Mark Smith and Lucas Wolfe.

Heats went to Kendall, Stutts and Shearer with the consolation going to Billy Dietrich.

Carmen Perigo Jr. led the first 10 laps before seventh starter Alex Bright secured the top spot in the USAC East feature event.

Christian Bruno came to second with 10 laps to go but during the final 10 laps point leader Briggs Danner made his way into contention after starting eighth.

He took second from Bruno with four laps to go and began his pursuit of the leader, whom he caught up with during the final lap and a half.

Bright went into defense on the final lap, changing lanes to thwart Danner’s attack.

However Danner was able to get to his inside Bright coming out of turn four on the final lap before drag racing him to the finish line.

In what may have been considered a tie before the institution of electronic timing, Bright held on for the win by a scant .030 seconds.

Bruno was third followed by Steve Drevicki and Mark Smith.

Sixth through 10th went to Ed Aiken, Joey Amantea, Kenny Miller III., Carmen Perigo Jr. and Preson Lattomus.

Heats went to Tommy Kunsman and Drevicki.

DIETRICH SCORES $10,099 IN THRILLING PA SPEEDWEEK FINALE SUNDAY AT SELINSGROVE;

MARKS CLINCHES FIRST CAREER PA SPEEDWEEK TITLE WITH FIVE SERIES WINS;

HEFFNER DRIVES TO FIRST SELINSGROVE 305 SPRINT CAR VICTORY

SELINSGROVE, Pa. – The 32nd Annual PA Speedweek Sprint Car Series came down to a thrilling pass by Danny Dietrich of Gettysburg with two laps to race in Sunday night’s 30-lap Opperman-Bogar-Heintzelman Memorial at Selinsgrove Speedway.

Dietrich drove by Brent Marks of Myerstown, who was going for his fifth win in a row and sixth in the nine-race series, in traffic to score the $10,099 victory. It was Dietrich’s first win in the series and at the track this season at the wheel of the Kauffman Racing/Weikert’s Livestock No. 48.

Marks clinched his first career PA Speedweek championship, finishing Sunday night’s race just 1.3 seconds behind Dietrich at the checkered flag. He was also the night’s Fast Tees Fast Qualifier with a lap time of 16.933.

Marks earned the $5,000 Selinsgrove Ford 10-for-10 bonus as he was the only driver to finish in the top 10 in all the series races. In fact, Marks finished in the top three positions in every event.

Kenny Heffner of Watsontown secured the lead at the halfway point of the 20-lap PASS/IMCA 305 sprint car feature and went on to score his first career win at Selinsgrove.

This Saturday, July 9, Selinsgrove Speedway will present the 22nd annual Mach 1 Chassis Open for 360 sprint cars paying $5,000 to win. Joining the 360 sprint cars will be the 305 sprint cars and roadrunners. The Eastern Museum of Motor Racing will also have a classic race car display. Gates will open at 5 p.m.

The 410 sprint car main event was a battle royale right out of the gate when polesitter Steve Buckwalter and third-place starter Brent Marks swapped the lead before the completion of the first lap.

For the first five laps, Marks and second-place starter Danny Dietrich closely chased Buckwalter. On the sixth circuit, Marks took command of the field with an inside pass on the backstretch. Sixth-place starter Justin Peck joined the battle in the fourth spot.

Dietrich advanced to second on lap 10 and began to reel in Marks. Meanwhile, an intense battle for the third position unfolded between Peck and fifth-place starter Rico Abreu.

Buckwalter’s solid night came to an end on lap 16 when his car rolled to a stop in turn four. When the race resumed, Marks maintained the lead using the bottom of the race track while Dietrich found momentum around the top.

The final 10 laps turned into an intense chase to the checkered flag as Marks and Dietrich navigated their way through slower traffic. Mike Walter, who started 11th, stormed into the top five in the closing laps.

Dietrich made the winning pass by Marks using the outside lane in turn two on the 28th lap. Marks attempted to reclaim the lead to no avail. Dietrich took the checkered flag by just 1.3 seconds over Marks, Peck, Walter, and Abreu.

In the 305 sprint car feature, second-place starter Josh Spicer pulled into the early lead over fourth-place starter Kenny Heffner. A caution flag on lap five for a spin in turns three and four regrouped the field.

Through the midway point of the race, Spicer and Heffner see-sawed for the lead. On the 10th circuit, Heffner secured the lead and began to pull away from the field. With four laps to go, fifth-place starter Tyler Snook drove into second and set his sights on the leader.

At the finish, Heffner was victorious by just 1.7 seconds over Snook, Spicer, 10th-place starter Austin Reed, and eighth-place starter Ken Duke.

BLOOMSBURG FAIR RACEWAY

WEBSITE: https://racing.bloomsburgfair.com/

COMING EVENTS:

Aug 5: @7:00 pm Fan Appreciation Night $5 admission USAC East Coast Sprints + ARDC Midgets + 305 Sprints + FWD 4-Cylinder Stocks

July 13 Super DIRTcar Series Modified event at Bloomsburg Fair Raceway will not be held; New truckloads of clay being added to surface

(BLOOMBURG 7-3-22): Bloomsburg Fair Raceway has announced that the Super DIRTcar Series Modified event slated for Wednesday, July 13, has been canceled.

Raceway officials, along with those from World Racing Group, the sanctioning body of the Super DIRTcar Series, have jointly agreed that it is in the best interest of both parties to not run the planned 75-lap feature at this time, as new clay is in the process of being laid down in an ongoing effort to improve on the racing surface.

It was a mutual understanding between both parties to hold off on conducting the show as they felt the upgraded surface would not be ready in time for the said date. The PASS 305 Sprint Cars were also on the docket on that night.

On Monday and Tuesday of this past week 75 trucks loads of new clay was laid down in all four corners. Throughout the day as trucks continued to drop off clay it was then spread into place across the banking and will be worked on more so in the coming days.

This has led to a few items in regards to the July 13 race. The timing of getting the new clay was part of the setback with logistics of the trucks hauling in the product and other dates in-between at the facility have all been taken into consideration.

There is presently additional shows underway at the Fairgrounds and, that along with having the surface in the best possible condition for racing, it was best felt to hold off on the Super DIRTcar show while the track is in the process of being refined.

At this time there is no make-up date in place.

The Super DIRTcar Series will still make its long-awaited return to Pennsylvania at Big Diamond Speedway in Minersville on Tuesday, July 12 and if needed the Wednesday July 13 will be used as a rain date.

The next event for Bloomsburg Fair Raceway will be on Friday, August 5 with Fan Appreciation Night. Grandstand general admission will be just $5 and include a four division program comprised of the USAC East Coast Sprints, ARDC Midgets, Winged 305 Sprints and the FWD 4-Cylinder Stocks.

Marks Bags Williams Grove Smith Memorial, Holds Speedweek Point Lead

7/1/22

MECHANICSBURG, PA – Brent Marks picked up his fourth Pennsylvania

Sprint Car Speedweek win in his last five starts with a win in the

Mitch Smith Memorial Friday night at Williams Grove Speedway.

The victory was worth $15,000 for the Speedweek point leader and was

his 10th overall win of the season.

“This car is really good and this team is really good,” Marks said. “I

felt a little off in the beginning. We had to work on the car to get

it better during the open red. Didn’t feel all that good right after

that and I was a little worried, but the longer we ran, the better it

got.”

Marks shot into the lead riding high on the cushion. Rico Abreu

wrestled the second spot away from Dylan Norris during the opening

laps.

Marks quickly built a 2.7-second lead over Abreu in only five laps. He

started lapping slower cars as well. They didn’t hold him up as he

quickly put three cars between himself and Abreu.

Marks’ big lead was erased with nine laps completed when Logan Wagner

spun in tun two bringing out the yellow flag. A broken rear axle was

the cause.

Marks controlled the restart as Anthony Macri passed Robbie Kendall

and Troy Wagaman Jr. advancing to fourth spot.

Lance Dewease made hard contact with the inside frontstretch fence

bringing out another yellow with 10 laps completed. Dewease was okay,

but done for the night.

An incident on the restart kept the field under yellow. Austin Bishop

and Lucas Wolfe were involved and Justin Peck also stopped on the

frontstretch. The cars were stopped allowing crews to refuel.

Macri and Norris battled for third after the restart with Macri

getting the spot as Marks got away from Abreu.

His lead was 1.56 at the half-way point. He closed on the back of the

field once again with Abreu and Macri in tow.

The lead was a little less as he started lapping slower cars.

Two cars were right in front of Marks running the cushion with 19 laps

complete. This allowed Abreu to close under a second. Marci wasn’t far

behind in third.

Marks used the inside line to lap two cars. This allowed him to get

some breathing room over Abreu.

The lead was back up to 1.3-second with seven to go.

Macri blasted under Abreu in turn three taking over the second spot.

Abreu tried to take it back in turn one, but Macri secured the spot.

He closed on Marks with three laps left. Marks got around a lapped car

and Macri slipped up a bit on the second turn cushion.

Marks took the white flag, but a slower car took his top line entering

turn one. Marks tried the middle, but lost a lot of speed. He spun his

tires down the backstretch with Macri coming with a head of steam.

Macri tried a slider in turn three, but couldn’t clear the pass as

Marks raced clean off turn four to the checkers by just over a second.

Abreu completed the podium.

“I made a mistake with that lapped car,” Marks said. “I got myself

stuck in the middle. I knew Anthony got into second and I knew he’d be

coming in a hurry. When I spun the tires, I figured he had a run on

me. I went into turn three and held it wide open and hoped for the

best.”

Norris and 13th starter Danny Dietrich completed the top five. Robbie

Kendall, Troy Wagaman Jr., Freddie Rahmer, Ryan Smith, and Justin Peck

rounded out the top 10.

TJ Stutts set quick time over the 32-car field with a lap of 16.805.

Anthony Macri, Justin Peck, Brent Marks and Lucas Wolfe were the top

five qualifiers. Dylan Norris, Rico Abreu, Robbie Kendall and Troy

Wagaman Jr. won the heat races. Kyle Reinhardt won the B-main.

Brent Marks Scores First Port Royal Win of 2022 with Red Robin Pennsylvania Speedweek Triumph

By- Justin Snyder

Port Royal Speedway– PORT ROYAL, Pa. (June 30, 2022) – After a year full of near-misses, Brent Marks capitalized on a front-row starting spot to score his first Port Royal Speedway victory of the 2022 racing season during Wednesday night’s Night 6 of Red Robin Racing Pennsylvania Speedweek event.

After added contingency prizes, Marks earned a total of $7300 for his 13th career Port Royal Speedway triumph. The win was Marks’ second of the 2022 PA Speedweek series and vaulted the Myerstown, Pa. native to the top spot in the series standings with four races remaining.

Anthony Macri and Marks led the field of 24 410 Sprint Cars to the green flag and Marks got the early jump on the field through the middle of turn's one and two to lead the opening circuit. After starting fourth on the grid, Logan Wagner made his presence felt early as well as he got by Macri to take the runner-up spot on the opening lap as well.

Marks quickly distanced himself from Wagner and the rest of the field and by lap five he held more than a 1.3 second advantage. However, the caution flew three laps later when Justin Whittall came to a stop on the backstretch to put the field on Marks’ tail.

Marks again took off the restart, while weekend invader Kyle Larson was starting to show his muscle as he moved into the fourth spot after lining up from the fifth position. With 20 laps remaining in the 30-lap A-main, Larson used the extreme high side of the Speedway to get by Macri for the final podium position, while Wagner was uncharacteristically using the low side to reel in the leader.

Marks moved to the top of the Speedway in an effort to thwart the momentum Wagner had found on the bottom and the move worked as he again started to stretch out his lead. Meanwhile, Larson was coming fast as he got by Wagner for the runner-up spot and started chipping away at the leader.

With 10 laps remaining, Larson had closed to less than a second behind the leader, while Macri had regrouped and was quickly coming back into the picture. However, his chances at picking up his seventh Port Royal Speedway victory of the season came to a close with eight laps remaining when he blew an engine entering turn three to bring out the caution.

Marks took off again on the restart, but all eyes were on Larson, who had a noticeably low right-rear tire during the caution break. Both Wagner’s capitalized on Larson’s issues and they moved into second and third respectively on the restart.

Larson’s hopes at a third career PA Speedweek victory at the Speed Palace came to a close with four laps remaining when the right-rear tire finally let loose and he came to a stop in turn four on the outside guardrail.

Larson didn’t rejoin the field and the restart gave Logan Wagner an opportunity to take his shot at Marks. However, Marks was too strong and pulled away with ease. He went on to pick up the victory by a margin of 3.110 seconds.

Mike Wagner got by his song for second in the closing laps while the younger Wagner finished third. Lance Dewease and Justin Peck rounded out the top five. Dylan Cisney, Lucas Wolfe, TJ Stutts, Rico Abreu and Freddie Rahmer completed the top ten.

Stutts earned the $500 Valley Supply Hard Charger after starting 23rd on the grid and advancing 15 positions while Danny Dietrich scored the J&S Classics $1000 Warrior Award via a random draw of 13.

Mark Smith took the lead during the United Racing Club 360 Sprint Car feature on lap seven and never looked back during a caution littered A-main event Wednesday night.

Smith won $2000 for the triumph, which was his second career URC sanctioned victory at the Speed Palace and his first since 2016.

Frankie Herr and Josh Weller contended early and Weller settled into the second position for the majority of the event before blowing a left-rear tire with one lap remaining following contact with a lapped car.

The caution forced Speedway officials to checker the event and call it final with one lap remaining as the time approached curfew.

Jason Shultz, Derek Locke, Dallas Schott and Frankie Herr rounded out the top five while Mike Thompson, Mike Kiser, Devin Adams, Cody Fletcher and Tyler Denochick completed the top ten.

NAPA AUTO PARTS THUNDER ON THE HILL RACING SERIES PRESENTED BY LEVAN MACHINE & TRUCK EQUIPMENT. . . . . .

RICO ABREU HOLDS OFF ALL CHALLENGERS TO WIN THE HODNETT CUP AND $10,000, BRETT KRESSLEY TOPS MODIFIEDS IN THUNDER ON THE HILL TUESDAY NIGHT

BECHTELSVILLE, PA (June 28, 2022) – It was a beautiful night of racing presented by Levan Machine and Truck Equipment with a full house of spectators to watch the NAPA Auto Parts Thunder on the Hill Racing Series doubleheader. Rico Abreu of St Helena, California claimed his first 410 Sprint Car win on ‘the Hill’ as part of Pennsylvania Speedweek presented by Red Robin and Brett Kressley won the 358 Modified portion of the event.

Abreu claimed $10,000 and the Hodnett Cup trophy for his efforts in a race that proved tricky for the leaders barely dodging multiple incidents and avoiding fighting through heavy-lapped traffic.

“We had some breaks with cautions,” Abreu said in post-race ceremonies. “But you have to do everything right to get those breaks in the first place.”

Abreu may have started on the pole but it wasn’t easy for the California native with Christopher Bell moving from inside row 2 into the second position on the start. Abreu fired off fast, approaching a full-straight lead by the fourth circuit with lapped traffic quickly approaching.

With Abreu in a comfortable lead, the battle for second heated up, between Brent Marks and Bell – but a Lap 7 yellow slowed the field when Dylan Norris spun directly in front of the leaders.

On the restart, Rico shot to the high side of the one-third-mile speedway with Marks moving passed Bell and Anthony Macri powering around the outside of Kyle Larson.

Marks pressured Abreu as the laps ticked away, approaching lapped traffic until the red flag flew on lap 14 for Kyle Larson, whose No. 57 machine tipped on its side with a broken rear end.

Abreu continued on the restart, racing around the inside of the speedway while Marks rode around the high side hot on his heels.

The final caution flew on lap 23 for Zach Hampton, who spun in front of the leaders.

Just over ten laps remained on the scoreboard, Abreu took the green flag creating some distance between himself and the battle for second between Anthony Macri and Brent Marks.

Heavy lapped traffic challenged the leaders in the late stages, as the top five positions were nose-to-tail when the white flag flew, but Abreu held them off to claim his third Pennsylvania Speedweek win.

Anthony Macri finished in the second spot, Brent Marks in third, Danny Dietrich in fourth, and Christopher Bell finished in fifth

Macri also picked up the $150 Quick Time Bonus from Clever Girl Winery for the 410 Sprint Cars. Qualifying Heat Races were won by Rico Abreu, Justin Peck, Tanner Thorson, and Kyle Larson.

Brett Kressley picked up his third NAPA Auto Parts Thunder on the Hill Racing Series win on Tuesday night passing Jared Umbenhauer in the second half of the 30-lap feature.

Mike Lisowski led the twenty-four car field to the drop of the green flag with Umbenhauer taking the lead on the second circuit of the event. Umbenhauer dominated the early stages of the race, before Kressley – who started in the fifth position – closed quickly and overtook the top spot with the help of side-by-side lapped traffic.

The only caution of the event flew on lap 26 when Ron Kline stopped at the top of the speedway with a right rear flat tire.

Kressley rolled on to the $3,000 win with Duane Howard moving into the second position on the restart, Umbenhauer settling for third, Alex Yankowski in fourth, and Billy Pauch jr. in the fifth position.

GT Radiator Repair $200 Fast Time for the 358 Modifieds was won by Jared Umbenhauer with a lap of 14.272. Modified Qualifying Heat Races were won by Rick Laubach, Ron Kline, and Craig Whitmoyer who all claimed a $200 bonus from GT Radiator Repair.

The NAPA Auto Parts Thunder on the Hill Racing Series returns on Tuesday, August 2 with the Big-Block Modifieds and Small-Block Modifieds competing in the ‘Roaring’ Triple 20s event. The 602 Sportsman round out an exciting program of racing action.

BRENT MARKS CHARGES HIS WAY TO SPEEDWEEK VICTORY

Saturday, July 2, 2022 CROWNSTONE EQUIPMENT MONSTER TRUCK FREEDOM FEST w/ Central PA Legends

Saturday, July 9, 2022 (7:30PM) L&M TIRE AND WHEEL NIGHT: 410 Sprints, 358 Sprints and Classic Cars

Saturday, July 16, 2022 (7:30PM) DEAN’S AUTO PLAZA NIGHT: 410 Sprints, 358 Sprints and Super Sportsman (Tour Series Event)

Abbottstown, PA (June 27, 2022) – Brent Marks put on a show Monday night at Lincoln as he drove from his 13th starting spot to the lead in 19 laps. On his way to the front of the field Marks passed Christopher Bell, Anthony Macri and Kyle Larson, “We had a really good car there. We tried something a little different there for the feature, starting a little deeper, something we learned on Saturday. It rotated the bottom really nice.”

Marks’ starting position for the 30-lap feature was a result of his time trial results putting him deep in his heat race line-up, “We started the night off really bad and honestly wasn’t expecting to be standing up here today.”

After Marks worked his way through to battle the reigning NASCAR Champion, Larson, for the lead, the packed crowd was on their feet and when Marks made the pass for the lead you could hear the cheers over the horsepower on the track, “Had a great crowd out here for a Monday night and the track turned out to be a lot of fun.”

The front row for the start of Night #5 of PA Speedweek was made up of Kyle Larson, the reigning NASCAR Champion, and Troy Wagaman, a local driver from Hanover that comes to the track with his car on an open trailer.

Larson shot to the lead when the green flag dropped with Wagaman and Macri in tow, but the red flag came out before the field completed a lap. Billy Dietrich got upside down in turn 2 with Gerard McIntyre and Dylan Norris also involved. After the red came out Danny Dietrich flipped in turns 3 and 4.

Danny needed a top wing replaced and the crew was nearly done when the green flag dropped again for the complete restart. Luck was on Danny’s side as the red came out again on the restart giving him the break he needed to rejoin the field. Unfortunately for Chad Trout, luck was not on his side as he flipped in turn 1 after contact with Zach Hampton on the front stretch.

The third time was a charm as the field got around the 3/8-mile oval without any incident and the feature was underway. Larson took the lead with Wagaman in second as Justin Peck and Anthony Macri raced for third.

Macri got by Wagaman for second at the line but Wagaman took the spot back in turns 1 and 2. Wagaman continued to hold off Macri as Marks had worked his way up to fifth from his 13th starting spot on lap 4. Marks got by Peck at the line to take fourth on lap 5 and then made it a three-car battle for second with Wagaman and Macri. Marks took third from Macri on lap 7 and then moved into second when he got Wagaman by inches at the line on lap 9.

Larson found himself in lapped traffic on lap 10. Marks closed in on Larson as they raced through lapped traffic. Wagaman and Macri continued to battle for position as they worked around lapped cars.

Marks got under Larson for the lead in 1 but Larson took the lead back at the line by half a car length. Marks got by Larson as they raced down the back stretch and took the lead on lap 19.

Peck got by Wagaman for fourth but Wagaman battled back to reclaim the spot. The caution came out on lap 21 for Dylan Norris who sat spun around in turn 2.

Marks led Larson, Macri, Wagaman and Peck on the restart. Marks got a good jump but Larson looked to his outside in turns 1 and 2 but could not make the pass.

Larson stuck with Marks for a handful of laps, but Marks was too good on the bottom and started to pull away.

Marks scored the $7,000 Speedweek win 2.132 seconds ahead of Larson. Macri finished third and Wagaman was fourth. Peck completed the top five.

Skylar Gee set quick-time over the 42-car field with a lap of 13.823 seconds. The heat race wins went to Austin Bishop, Jeff Halligan, Troy Wagaman and Anthony Macri.

This Saturday, July 2, Lincoln Speedway is back in action with the Monster Truck Freedom Fest featuring Monster Trucks and Central PA Legends. Racing starts at 7PM with gates opening at 2PM.

Williams Grove Honors Career, Impact & Legacy Of Mitch Smith Friday

34th annual running of Mitch Smith Memorial on tap

6/26/22

Mechanicsburg – When Williams Grove Speedway gets down to action on Friday night, it will do so for the 34th year in a row in honor of a famed sprint car great, the late Mitch Smith of Linglestown.

The oval will host the RHI Magnesita 34th annual Mitch Smith Memorial as part of Pennsylvania Speedweek on July 1 at 7:30 pm.

And the race to honor Smith will pay a lucrative $15,000 to win out of the largest total speedweek purse to be posted in all 2022 series events to go along with the largest amount to win.

Richard D. “Mitch” Smith was the original “Mr. Excitement” of Pennsylvania sprint car lore.

At Williams Grove Speedway alone he ended his four-decade long career in 1978 with 27 sprint car wins and nine super modified victories.

But overall on his career, his checkered flags added up to 179.

The name Mitch Smith became cemented nationally when in 1971 the “little guy” from Linglestown trounced the boasting stars of the United States Auto Club, not once, but three times when they towed into the region.

In 1971, USAC was to sprint car racing what the World of Outlaws is today.

USAC competition was the way to Indy. The USAC circuit groomed its drivers to sit on the Indy 500 starting grid.

And start they did.

But on June 19 and September 25 at Williams Grove Speedway in 1971 and again on July 17 at Selinsgrove Speedway, Mitch Smith used a rarely doled out temporary racing permit issued by USAC to just a few local drivers to beat the traveling band – badly.

The USAC stars were furious.

Protests were lodged and tear-downs were performed.

All was legal.

Smith had beaten the unquestionable best in the sprint car business not once, not twice but three times.

The word went out.

“The Linglestown Leadfoot,” Mitch Smith, had trounced USAC in Central Pennsylvania.

Smith retired from the sport in 1978 and in 1988 at the age of 58 was felled by a massive heart attack.

In 1995 Mitch Smith was inducted posthumously into the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame in Knoxville, Iowa.

It is the legacy left behind and the impact that Smith had on the sport in the region and at Williams Grove Speedway that the oval honors again this year with the running of the 34th annual Mitch Smith Memorial on Friday night.

Lance Dewease is the defending winner of the prestigious Mitch Smith Memorial.

Dewease took the lead from Matt Campbell on lap 11 in last year’s event to speed to the checkers.

Abbottstown, PA (June 25, 2022) – The winningest 410 sprint car driver in the country, Anthony Macri, won the Kevin Gobrecht Memorial presented by Drydene at Lincoln on Saturday as part of PA Sprint Speedweek. Macri’s win was his second in two nights as he took the Speedweek opener on Friday at Williams Grove Speedway.

Macri set quick time over the 47-car field with a lap of 13.285 seconds. After qualifying for the 30-lap feature through his heat, Macri drew the pole for the feature, “I knew starting on the pole we’d have to start with a pretty good pace and I’d have to be pretty aggressive in lapped traffic.”

When you’re the hottest driver in the country the spotlight shines bright on your successes and failures brining both positive and negative attention. Victory lane was lively after Macri’s win, “That’s win number 14 on the year. We’ll let our success do the talking and continue on to the rest of the week.” With his win, Macri currently sits atop the overall Speedweek point standings.

Night #2 of Pennsylvania Sprint Speedweek saw Anthony Macri draw the pole for the second night in a row. Troy Wagaman, on a streak of three top-3 finishes started on the outside of the front row for the $9,200 to win Kevin Gobrecht Memorial presented by Drydene.

Macri led the field into turn 1 with Freddie Rahmer moving into second sending Wagaman to third. Justin Peck, Chase Dietz and Jeff Halligan raced three-wide for fourth with Peck taking the spot. The yellow flag came out on lap 2 when Landon Myers got sideways and collected Justin Whittall and Alan Krimes in turn 2.

Macri led Rahmer, Wagaman, Peck and Dietz to the cone for the restart. Rahmer stuck with Macri on the restart and went higher than Macri into turn 1 but could not make the pass. Peck passed Wagaman for third and Halligan got by Dietz for fifth.

Dietz was looking to take fifth back from Halligan and Brent Marks joined to make it a three-car battle for the spot.

Dietz won the battle to take fifth with Marks settling for sixth and Halligan seventh. Marks got by Dietz at the line for fifth on lap 8. Macri caught lapped traffic on lap 9. Peck was closing on Rahmer as they closed in on the tail end of the field.

Marks reeled in Wagaman and passed him for fourth in turn 2 taking the spot on lap 15.

Macri was working his way through lapped traffic creating a lot of space between him and Rahmer. Peck made a move for second in turn 2 nearly allowing Marks to get by him. Zach Hampton brought out the caution on lap 19 when he spun in turn 4.

The top five for the restart were Macri, Rahmer, Peck, Marks and Wagaman.

Macri had a solid restart getting a good jump on Rahmer. Peck dove into turn 3 with a slider to take second from Rahmer on lap 20. Rahmer tried to return the favor in turn 2, but Peck held the spot.

Marks went to work on Rahmer for third and the two were wheel to wheel at the line on lap 23 with Rahmer holding on to the spot. Marks took third on lap 24.

Macri entered lapped traffic again with four laps to go. Peck was running the high line around the track in an attempt to close in on the leader but Macri was too far gone.

Macri won the $9,200 by 1.495 seconds over Peck. Marks was third and Rahmer crossed the line fourth. Dietz worked his way back up to finish fifth.

The 410 heat races were won by Troy Wagaman, Jeff Halligan, Chase Dietz and Lucas Wolfe.

Hunter Fulton Victorious in Extreme Stocks

Pole-sitter Donnie Broderick took the lead when the green flag dropped with Marshall McMullen and Doug Hoffman racing wheel to wheel for second. McMullen got under Broderick to challenge for the lead but Broderick held the spot. Sam Rial was up to third from his fifth starting spot and used the outside to take second from McMullen.

Rial was in the lead when the yellow flag came out on lap 3 when John Wright and Jim Rost Jr. got together. Rial stopped on the track under caution, sending him to the rear for the restart.

McMullen and Broderick race side by side for the lead with Broderick holding the position.

Doug Hoffman and Bob Scott Jr. battled side by side for third. Broderick got high in turn 4 letting McMullen by to take the lead on lap 7. McMullen’s lead was short lived as Scott took the top spot from him on lap 8.

Hunter Fulton was running second and putting pressure on Scott for the lead when the caution came out on lap 12 for debris. The yellow came out again on lap 14 when Hoffman stopped in turns 3 and 4.

After having to restart at the rear of the field earlier in the race, Rial was back up to fourth for the restart. Jordan Fulton brought out the caution on lap 16 and then lap 17 saw the yellow fly for debris in turn 2.

Fulton looked to the outside of Scott for the lead and the two were wheel to wheel at the line. Fulton took the lead coming out of turn 2.

The final caution of the 25-lap feature came on lap 20 for Jim Rost. Rial went to the outside of McMullen on the restart to take third.

Fulton crossed the line ahead of Scott, Rial, McMullen and Justin Yohn.

Macri Opens Speedweek At Williams Grove With Win, Tyler Brehm Scores First In 358 Sprints

6/24/22

Mechanicsburg – Anthony Macri won the opening night of Pennsylvania Speedweek at Williams Grove Speedway on Friday night, scoring a $7,001 victory for his second win of the season at the track.

Elsewhere, Tyler Brehm scored the first career win of his Williams Grove career in the 358 sprint car division.

Macri and Justin Peck started the 30-lap speedweek main on the front row with Macri beating Peck into the first turn by the narrowest of margins.

Peck went in to Macri’s outside but Macri made the car wide enough to prevent a Peck sweep into the lead.

Dylan Cisney then slowed for the first caution flag of the race with three laps completed.

By lap eight Macri had a 1.6 second lead over Peck and Brent Marks however he soon came upon the backmarkers by lap 10.

In dirty air, Macri’s speed was held back as Peck and Marks battled for second with Marks taking his first swipe at the spot on lap 13 only to see Peck regain it.

A lap later Marks tried it again in the first turn but again Peck prevailed before Marks took the spot at the halfway point to begin chasing down the leader.

The pair of Marks and Peck was challenging Macri for control as the trio ran through traffic on lap 18 when Danny Dietrich slowed just enough to bring out the caution before again firing off after the yellow unfurled.

The caution flag broke up a thrilling race at the front as clean air gave Macri new life when action resumed.

Peck took a shot at Marks for second on the restart as Macri again got away to a 1.6 second lead with five laps to go.

Traffic again came into play during the final few laps but by then it was too late for Marks to close as he instead crossed the finish line .959 seconds behind.

Peck rode home third followed by Lance Dewease and TJ Stutts.

Sixth through 10th went to Dylan Norris, Freddie Rahmer, Devon Borden, Lucas Wolfe and Chase Dietz.

Heats went to Stutts, Wolfe and Marks with Robbie Kendall taking the consolation race.

Macri set fast time with a lap of 167.842 seconds.

It was the Dillsburg driver’s fifth career sprint car win at Williams Grove.

“As soon as we got into traffic, the car got extremely tight,” Macri said.

“I had to keep playing with the wing. Luckily, I found a position with the wing that was kind of okay. We still weren’t perfect when we got to lapped traffic.”

After polesitter Chad Criswell slowed on the first lap of the 20-lap 358 sprint car feature, the event would go non-stop.

Devon Adams took the lead on the first lap with Tyler Brehm giving chase.

Brehm took his first shot for the lead with an inside turn three move on the fourth lap but Adams was up to that challenge.

However a lap later Brehm made the move stick to drive into control.

The leader entered the backmarkers with nine laps to go while Kody Hartlaub raced into the second spot shortly after.

Brehm worked his way through traffic to take the checkers with style by 2.152 seconds over Hartlaub.

Derek Locke was third followed by Adams and Doug Hammaker.

Sixth through 10th went to Frankie Herr, Kyle Denmyer, Steve Owings, Cameron Smith and Steve Wilbur.

Heats went to Kyle Keen, Criswell and Adams with Cody Fletcher taking the consolation race.

PA Dyno Hard Chargers were Ryan Smith in the 410 sprints and Derek Locke in the 358 sprints.

SELINSGROVE SPEEDWAY PA SPEEDWEEK OPPERMAN-BOGAR-HEINTZELMAN MEMORIAL

FOR 410 SPRINT CARS WILL NOW PAY $10,099 TO WIN SUNDAY, JULY 3;

FAMILY OF RALPH HEINTZELMAN SR. MAKES CONTRIBUTION TO THIS YEAR’S RACE TO HONOR

HIS RECENT INDUCTION INTO NATIONAL SPRINT CAR HALL OF FAME

SELINSGROVE, Pa. – When the 410 sprint cars return to Selinsgrove Speedway on Sunday, July 3, for the Middleswarth Potato Chips PA Speedweek Opperman-Bogar-Heintzelman Memorial, they will be racing for $10,099 to win thanks to a generous contribution from the family of Ralph Heintzelman Sr. to honor his recent induction into the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame.

Members of the Bogar family and others are also making contributions to this year’s race to make it one of the four biggest payoffs for this year’s 10-race, 32nd Annual PA Speedweek Series presented by Red Robin. Grandstand and pit gates will open at 4 p.m. with qualifying slated for 7:30 p.m. Selinsgrove will use a rain date of Monday, July 4, if needed.

The 30-lap main event for the Lelands.com 410 sprint cars will now offer a purse of more than $35,000. Time trials, heat races, and a B-main will be the qualifying format. The Fast Tees Fast Time Award will pay $300. Joining the 410 sprint cars on the open wheel doubleheader will be the Apache Tree Service 305 sprint cars in a 20-lap main event.

Two previous 410 sprint car races at the track this season were won by Anthony Macri of Dillsburg and Gio Scelzi of Fresno, Calif. Brent Marks of Myerstown is the defending PA Speedweek winner at Selinsgrove.

A native of Beaver Springs, Ralph Heintzelman Sr. was arguably one of the sport’s best race car builders and mechanics in Pennsylvania in the 1970’s. He was hired by sprint car owner Luke “Dick” Bogar of Selinsgrove to wrench for driver Jan Opperman of California. The result was a stunning 44-win season in 1972 for the No. 99 team. Together, the trio won Opperman’s only sprint car track title at Selinsgrove a year later in 1973.

When Opperman left to race for USAC, Heintzelman kept going with driver Lynn Paxton and others. Before a devastating garage fire in 1980, Heintzelman was building chassis that were winning races across the country. He passed away in August of 2019 at the age of 81 and was inducted posthumously into the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame on June 4 of this year.

The legendary Opperman, who won 19 sprint car races at Selinsgrove and also competed in the Indianapolis 500 during his career, passed away in September of 1997. Bogar, who was a prominent local businessman in the Selinsgrove area, died in October of 2014.

Speedweek Begins At Williams Grove Friday With Billy Pauch As Guest

410 sprints to race for $7,001 to win, 358 sprints also in action

Fans Get To Visit With Pauch and Car Owners Pre-race Before Book Signing

6/19/22

Mechanicsburg – The 32nd annual Pennsylvania Speedweek Series for 410 sprint cars will kickoff this Friday, June 24 at Williams Grove Speedway.

Kiely Construction will present the Lawrence Chevrolet 410 sprints in the speedweek opener going 30 laps in distance and paying $7,001 to win.

The HJ Towing and Recovery 358 sprint cars will also be in action for the speedweek opener.

Time trials will begin at 7:30 pm with gates opening at 5:30.

The race is another in the 2022 Hoosier Diamond Series of races at the oval.

The Pennsylvania Speedweek Series runs June 24 through July 3 at area ovals with Williams Grove’s second race of the series on July 1 boasting the largest payout to win at $15,000 for the Mitch Smith Memorial.

Legendary modified and sprint car driver Billy Pauch of Frenchtown, New Jersey will be a special guest at the speedweek opener.

Pauch recently put his career on hold in April after getting the season underway and picking up a modified win.

And while stopping short of announcing his full retirement; the now 65-year old pilot has just released his biography.

With over 740 total career wins to his credit since his first in 1975, Pauch put up his biggest numbers in the modified ranks over the seasons.

But his numbers in a sprint car stand at 62 alone and it’s that portion of his career that Williams Grove will honor at the speedweek lidlifter.

Pauch is perhaps best known for his near decade spent in the potent Zemco No. 1 sprint car during the 1990s.

And to help pay tribute to Pauch’s career, Zemco car owner John Zemaitis and his current driver Logan Wagner will be in attendance for the speedweek opener.

The Zemco No. 1 will be on display in the Williams Grove infield beginning at 5:30 before while Pauch and three of his former car owners gather at the stage from 6 to 6:30 pm for interviews and autographs.

The acclaimed driver will then host a book signing of his biography, “THE LAST COWBOY: The Life and Times of Billy Pauch,”

Joining Pauch for the event will be Zemco owner Zemaitis along with No. 126 car owner Glen Hyneman and No. 55 car owner Gene Jenkins of Milton.

A plaque presentation honoring Pauch’s sprint car career will be presented following time trials and Pauch will again sign books in the infield immediately after the speedweek B Main.

Known to many as “Billy The Kid” during his career, Pauch put up 15 sprint car wins during his tenure at Williams Grove while overall laying claim to victories over the World of Outlaws, All Stars, USAC, CRA, SCRA and KARS.

In 1994 Pauch toured the New York State Fairgrounds mile at world record speed and became the world’s fastest sprint car driver, posting a speed of 144.590 mph.

Adult general admission is set at $20 with youth ages 13-20 admitted for just $10 while kids ages 12 and under are always admitted for FREE at Williams Grove Speedway.

Event sponsor J.F. Kiely Construction Co. performs work for publicly traded utility companies, energy companies, municipalities, and private entities while employing hundreds of team members in multiple locations throughout the Northeast.

Kiely innovatively designs, builds, and restores the infrastructure of the nation, helping communities grow safer and more connected.

Last year in speedweek action at Williams Grove, Lance Dewease swept both shows while on his way to the track title.

Danny Dietrich is the reigning Pennsylvania Speedweek champion.

Chase Dietz is entering the Williams Grove Speedweek opener having taken the last two Williams Grove races in a row.

 

 

Does The Williams Grove Speedweek Winner Predict A Series Title?

6/19/22

Mechanicsburg – As Williams Grove goes, so goes the speedweek championship.

Well, not quite.

But at least 44 % of the time since speedweek began in 1991, a Williams Grove speedweek winner has gone on to claim the overall speedweek series title.

Case in point, the 2020 speedweek series.

Kyle Larson won the big Mitch Smith Memorial at the Grove that year and then claimed the series title.

And the same back in the series’ inaugural season in 1991.

Steve Smith Sr. won one of two series races at the track in ‘91 and claimed the series crown.

All together, Williams Grove has completed events in 27 of the 31 series run to date.

And 44.44 % of the time, the track has had a hand in and perhaps predicted who the speedweek titlist would be.

In 1994, Smith Sr. and Fred Rahmer won and Rahmer scored the title.

In 1996, Keith Kauffman won the Mitch Smith and claimed the title for the Apple Motorsports stables.

And then in 1997, Lance Dewease did it for Walter Dyer.

Four years later, Dewease did it again, this time for Joe Harz.

In 2002, Greg Hodnett won the
