ALL STAR SPRINTS AND LATE MODELS MAY 9

MECHANICSBURG, PA -- One of the most anticipated double headers of the season is coming up at Williams Grove Speedway on Friday evening, May 9, when the late model stock cars will share the pit area with the All Star Circuit of Champions sprint cars. Qualifying for the All Star sprint cars is scheduled to begin at 7:30. An All Star car has never won an All Star sanctioned feature at the Grove, but this could be the year the Pennsylvania Posse's 17-race winning streak comes to an end. The All Stars will be led this season by none other than Lance Dewease. Dewease, a 5-time Cindy Rowe Auto Glass track champion and winner of 67 career features at the Grove, has committed to the full All Star schedule for 2008 and will be representing that organization on May 9. As a track regular over the years, Dewease owns three Williams Grove All Star victories. No other driver has won more than one All Star race at this historic speedway. In addition to Dewease, two former World of Outlaws regulars have added even more quality to the All Stars this year. Native Californians Paul McMahan and Randy Hannagan are no strangers to Williams Grove. McMahan, in fact, owns two Grove victories. The Pennsylvania Posse will be ready to defend its home turf with drivers such as defending Cindy Rowe Auto Glass champion Todd Shaffer, current point leader Fred Rahmer, Greg Hodnett, Don Kreitz, Jr., and Mike Erdley, all of whom have claimed All Star victories at Williams Grove. May 9 will be the final appearance of the season for the late models. Another strong field is expected as was the case on March 28, which was the only time a race was run for that division this season. Late model stars such as Andy Anderson, Gary Stuhler, Jeremy Miller, Jason Covert, J. T. Spence, Scott Haus, Dan Stone and D. J. Myers were in competition at that time.

SATURDAY NIGHT GROVE COMPETITORS DUE FOR FAIR SKIES MAY 10

MECHANICSBURG, PA -- Fans and competitors of the Saturday Night Series are due for a break in the weather and they're hoping it will come May 10 at Williams Grove Speedway. Only two Saturday Night Series events have been completed this season with the most recent on April 12. If the May 10 date should be lost, the next SNS event is not scheduled until May 31, which would mean a seven-week gap between races. With that in mind, the cars should be out in droves this week provided the weather co-operates. Once again the super sportsman division will be the featured attraction and the season's first 40-car field is a distinct possibility, since 38 were in competition on April 12. While sportsman veterans such as defending Sutliff Auto Group champion Frankie Herr, Rich Eichelberger and Carmen Perigo, Jr., are still very competitive, rising stars Paul Miller and Mike Enders won the first two races. Although the sportsman cars are usually the only open cockpit division in the pit area on Saturday nights, that will not be the case this week, because the 305 sprints are also on the card. This is the only scheduled appearance for that entry level sprint car class at Williams Grove this season. As usual the limited late models will be a big part of this week's program and the street stocks will also return. Autograph and Camera Night, rained out on May 3, has been rescheduled for May 31, which will mark the first of five consecutive Saturday night races at Williams Grove. Saturday Night Series racing events begin at 7:00. Further information concerning Williams Grove Speedway is available at www.williamsgrove.com.

JEFF SHEPARD JETS TO $5,000 WIN IN 5TH ANNUAL WELDON STERNER MEMORIAL; "358" sprint feature curtailed by rain on lap 2; will be made up May 31st; Thundercar feature make-up date to be determined

ABBOTTSTOWN, PA, 5/3/08 - A bizarre twist of fate during a mid-race red flag gave Jeff Shepard the break he needed in the 5th Annual Weldon Sterner Memorial for "410" sprint cars at Lincoln Speedway Saturday night. And the Upperco, MD, sprint star took advantage, to claim his first win in three years in the Pigeon Hills. Shepard started fifth and was running second when a flipping Jeff Busby stopped green flag action for the first time in the event. During the red, Cody Darrah, who took the lead from race-long leader T.J. Stutts on the seventh lap, was forced into the pits to change a flat right rear. The leader change also put two lapped cars back onto the lead lap, and put the Zemco Headers/Zemco Tool & Die #1 on the point for the restart. Shepard, who ran his first sprint car race at Lincoln 21 years ago, drove away from the rest of the field to score a 3.59-second win and claim the $5,000 top prize in the 30 lap contest. Defending champ Fred Rahmer came from 20th starting spot to pass Stutts for second on the 21st lap, but could not close on Shepard. In fact, Shepard double his lead over the final nine laps. "I love this track!" exclaimed Shepard in victory lane, "This track is in great shape, the crowd is great, and I just enjoy racing here." Stutts settled for third, with Lance Dewease and Alan Krimes completing the top five. Sixth through tenth were Michael Carber, 16th-starting Cris Eash, 14th-starting Brian Leppo, 17th-starting Brian Montieth, and 22nd-starting Chad Layton, who was sporting the Sterner Cement top wing in honor of the memorial event. Heats for the 410 sprints were won by Leppo, Jim Siegel and Cris Eash, with Niki Young winning the consolation. Fast time in time trials over the 27-car field was set by Cody Darrah with a 1-lap time of 13.875-seconds (97.297 MPH).

Aaron Ott set a new 10-lap track record in his heat and was leading on lap two of the "358" sprint feature when the rains came during a caution. The remainder of the feature will be made up as an addition to a regular three-division show on May 31st. Ott's 10-lap record of 2 minutes, 24.16 seconds bested the old record by more than two seconds. Other heats for the 43 "358" sprint were won by Dale Hammaker, Glenndon Forsythe, and Kevin Nouse. Twin consolations were won by Brian Eichelberger and Gerard McIntyre Jr..

The thundercar feature will be made up at a date still to be determined. Heats for the 21 thundercars were won by Rick Weaver and Kyle Martin.

Next Saturday night, May 10th at 7 PM, it will be York County Racing Club Night featuring all three regular point divisions for the second week in-a-row - the Cindy Rowe Auto Glass 410 Sprints, the Keizer Aluminum Wheels 358 Sprints and thundercars. Gates will open at 5 PM.

Blaine Heimbach uses last lap pass to win Clinton County season opener

Mackeyville, PA (May 2, 2008)– Twenty-one Shore Auto Parts Super Sprints made the call for Clinton County Raceways season opener. Chuck Roan Jr. and Adam Gordon would lead the field down to the green flag. It didn’t take long for the yellow to fly as Tom Wise had a flat before the field was able to complete lap one. On the restart a heated battle formed at the front between Roan, Gordon, Matt Heimbach, and 2007 Fall Shootout winner Neil Petock. The race stayed green until the halfway point when Jack Helget had mechanical troubles and stopped on the backstretch. On the restart Matt Heimbach took command and began to stretch out a lead as the field entered lap traffic. Petock and Roan continued to swap the runner up spot as Blaine Heimbach worked his way up from his 8th starting spot. With five laps to go Petock and Blaine Heimbach began battling for 2nd spot. Matt Heimbach looked to have the field covered but it wasn’t meant to be as he suffered a flat right rear with two laps to go. Petock inherited the lead and got a big jump at the green and opened up a sizeable lead by time he came around for the white flag. Blaine Heimbach looked determined and drove his car hard into turn three hoping it would stick. Heimbach never lifted as he used the outside line to make a run and was able to get around Petock at the line for the feature win in his Goff Racing machine. Petock would have to settle for second with Chuck Roan Jr finishing third. Bobby Howard drove a good solid race as he came from the 12th starting spot to finish 4th. Matt Horst also turned in a steady run, as he would round out the top five. Cliff Berry and Keith Tebbs led the field down for the 15 lap A&A Auto Parts Pro-Stock event. Berry jumped into the early lead but it wouldn’t last for long as he suffered a flat tire after only a handful of laps. Ay Schilling, Terry Shedden, and Tim Krape who started in the 7th, 8th, and 9th spots set their sites on the leaders and they freight trained to the lead. Schilling would take the lead just past half way but soon lost it to Krape, as Krape was able to complete the slide job. Krape went on to take the win with Schilling finishing 2nd, Terry Shedden 3rd, Chris Berry 4th, and Todd Williams 5th. The Ron Enders & Sons Insurance Agency 270 Micro Sprints took to the track next as Mike Schuckers and Jason Houtz led a strong group of cars to the green. A few quick cautions for mechanical trouble slowed the early pace but the drivers soon found their groove as they began to click off laps. Mike Schuckers lead the whole way on route to the victory but didn’t have an easy drive as he had company the entire time. Scott Kishbaugh finished 2nd, with Brian Kishbaugh overcoming a lap one problem to rally to 3rd. John Roberts nailed down the 4th spot and Brandon Gustin finished out the top five. Randy’s Auto Repair FWD 4-cylinder division finished the night off as 25 cars looked to tackle the 1/3 mile oval. Woodhull Raceway regular Brian Grant came from the 5th starting spot to take the win. Grant is now eligible for the $500 bonus if he can win at Woodhull May 4th. Any 4-cylinder driver is eligible for the bonus if they can win back-to-back nights between the two tracks this season. Grant looks to take aim at the bonus multiple times as he plans on running both tracks throughout the season. Jason Rafter came home 2nd, Jason McCauley 3rd, Heather Marr 4th, and Dave Fink 5th. Clinton County Raceway is back in action May 9th with a regular program of Shore Auto Parts Super Sprints, A&A Auto Parts Pro-Stock, Ron Enders & Sons Insurance Agency 270 Micro Sprints, and Randy’s Auto Repair FWD 4-cylinders.

Williams Grove Speedway cancels Saturday May 3rd Show

Mechanicsburg, Pa. – Approaching inclement weather forced the management of Williams Grove Speedway to cancel the May 3 Saturday night racing. This is the second consecutive week that the Saturday night racing at Williams Grove has fallen victim to bad weather.

The Autograph and Camera Night scheduled for May 3rd will be held on May 31st.

Next week the 305 Sprint Cars will be added to the Saturday night action at Williams Grove Speedway. The 305 sprints will join the Sutliff Auto Group Super Sportsman, the AJ’s Truck and Trailer Center 358 Late Models and the L.B. Smith Ford Street Stocks. The racing action begins at 7 p.m.

KAUFFMAN HOLDS OFF RAHMER AT WILLIAMS GROVE

MECHANICSBURG, PA The old guys provided the best racing of the season Friday night at Williams Grove Speedway as Keith Kauffman held off the charge of Fred Rahmer to win the 25-lap sprint car feature. Glenndon Forsythe won the 20-lap limited (358 c.i.) sprint feature. John Westbrook took the early lead in the main event and set the pace for the first two laps before he hit the guardrail in turn four. Bob Bennett took over at that point with Kauffman, who started fifth, moving into the runnerup spot. Kauffman took the lead from Bennett on lap nine, but career win number 51 at Williams Grove would not come easily. Rahmer, who started 12th, moved into second place on lap 14 and began to close on Kauffman. For the remainder of the race Kauffman, who will celebrate his 58th birthday in June and Rahmer, who turned 50 in March, put on a driving clinic. Kauffman changed lanes on several occasions searching for a faster line while Rahmer tried every trick in his repertoire to make the pass. As Pennsylvanias all-time sprint car win leaders battled for the top spot, defending Cindy Rowe Auto Glass champion Todd Shaffer made it a three car race.

McCLELLAND CLAIMS SECOND STRAIGHT IN TRAIL-WAY “358” SPRINTS;

JUSTIN MONG WINS RMP THUNDERCAR FEATURE; 2 WINS FOR KRESS IN LIMITED STOCKS

Hanover, PA (5/2/08) – Make it two in-a-row for Brad McClelland at Trail-Way Speedway.

The Westminster, MD open wheel star scored his 12th career win in the “358” sprint car feature at the McSherrystown oval Friday night, moving him into a tie with Billy Dietrich at the top of the all-time Trail-Way win chart.

McClelland started eighth and advanced to the runner-up spot by lap 13. In the meantime, two-time defending track champ Jeff Rohrbaugh started sixth and moved through the field to grab the lead from race-long leader Randy Davis, Jr. with a slider exiting turn four of lap 11.

After disposing of Davis on the 13th-lap restart, McClelland closed quickly on Rohrbaugh and raced wheel-to-wheel with the Roy Vincent Racing #7V from laps 16 through 19. McClelland nosed in front as the two crossed under the flagstand to complete lap 19, and a caution for Billy Heltzel, Jr. (who stopped on turn four) put McClelland at the point for the restart.

The B&D Truck Hoist/J&K Salvage/VMAC Racing #6 held off Rohrbaugh over the remaining laps to cross two carlengths ahead.

“I’m tired!” exclaimed McClelland in victory lane, “I asked for a track like this and I got it. This is a very racey track. I was getting loose on the top and moved down…I probably should have stayed up there.”

“This is great racing,” added McClelland, “I come here to race because it’s not ‘follow the leader’ here.”

Rohrbaugh settled for second, with 10th-starting Dale Hammaker third, 13th-starting Danny Dietrich fourth, and Joe Trone, Jr. fifth. Completing the top ten were Steve Owings (who came from the back after bringing out the caution on lap 12), DS Diversified Services hard charger Nathan Berwager (who started 18th), Mike Duncan, Darren Schott, and Heltzel.

Friday night’s show was the first in which the required Raceiver one-way radios were used, and the radios got passing marks from hard charger Berwager, who praised them upon receiving his award.

Heats for the 21 “358” sprinters were won by Tim Wagaman and Rohrbaugh.

Justin Mong was in the right place at the right time to pick up his first win of the year in the 20-lap RMP Thundercar feature. Mong, who started eighth, was running third when leaders Mike Fletcher and Brian Walls got together in turns three and four of the 18th lap. Fletcher spun out and Walls was sent to the rear for roughriding. Mong assumed the lead for the restart and led the last two laps.

Rick Weaver crossed second, with Larry Neiderer, Allen Cullum, and Ronnie Thomas completing the top five.

The lone heat for the thundercars was won by Fletcher.

Brad Kress picked up a pair of wins in the limited stock division.

His first win came in a make-up feature from last Friday (4/25), crossing ahead of Tyler Gastley and Roy Denike.

Kress came back to claim the win in the regularly-scheduled event, coming from 12th starting spot to outrun Wes McDaniel and Mark Reece.

Tomorrow night (5/3), Trail-Way swings back into action with 1000cc “Sidewinders,” 600-cc micros, and the 270cc micros in a pair of features which includes a make-up from last Saturday (4/26). Also in action will be the Starlite ovals and scramble cars. Gates open at 4:30 p.m., with the first green flag scheduled for 6:30 p.m.

Next Friday (5/9), Trail-Way hosts the “358” late models, RMP thundercars, Classic cars, and limited stocks in a program which begins at 7:30 p.m. with gates opening at 5:30 p.m.

270cc and 600cc micros return to Trail-Way on Saturday, May 10th, with a make-up feature for the 600’s. Also on that card will be the Central PA Legends, Starlite ovals, and scramble cars. Gates and racing are at 4:30 and 6:30 p.m., respectively.

SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS POSTPONE LINCOLN FEATURES $5,000-to-Win 5th Annual Weldon Sterner Memorial next Saturday, May 3rd

ABBOTTSTOWN, PA, 4/12/08 - With blackened skies and lightning in the backdrop, Lincoln Speedway officials made a gallant effort to beat the impending storms which swept through the Central Pennsylvania area Saturday night. But just after all qualifying was completed, which included record-breaking performances in the 410 Sprint heats, the skies opened up in a deluge of rain, hail and lightening just as the sprinters were being called to the track for there feature. Once the weather front moved into the Pigeon Hills area it was quickly apparent that it would not leave anytime soon, forcing officials to postpone the three features to later dates. No definitive make-up dates were immediately set. Initial tentative make-up dates discussed would have the Cindy Rowe Auto Glass 410 sprints makeup feature on May 10th and the Pennsylvania 305 sprints would make-up there feature when they return on August 30th. No date was yet speculated for the thundercars whom will start all 26 cars in competition. Heats for the 23 "410" sprint cars were won by Doug Dodson, Alan Krimes and John Westbrook. Dodson set a brand new 10-lap track record with a time of 2:13.72 seconds, eclipsing the old record of 2:14.85 set on October 20, 2007 by Cody Darrah. Krimes' heat race time also beat the old record held by Darrah. Heat races for the 21 Pennsylvania 305 sprint cars were won by Mark Watkins and Jim Kennedy. Heats for the 26 thundercars were won by Duane Watson, Ronnie Thomas and Brad Shank.

Next Saturday night, May 3rd, Lincoln Speedway will hold the 5th Annual Weldon Sterner Memorial for the Cindy Rowe Auto Glass 410 Sprints.

TOMMY CLASSIC TO BRIAN LEPPO

MECHANICSBURG, PA Brian Leppo won the rain delayed Tommy Classic for sprint cars Friday night at Williams Grove Speedway. Leppo started alongside Pat Cannon on the front row. Cannon took the lead at the start and set the early pace with Leppo in tow. What proved to be the winning pass came on the 17th lap of the 30-lap event. Leppo ducked to the inside exiting turn four and slid in front of Cannon. Once in front Leppo pulled away from the field. Despite a fuel stop with two laps remaining, Leppo was never seriously challenged for the lead. Leppo earned $6000 from a $30,000 purse for his third career victory at Williams Grove. Cannon, who was seeking his second win in three starts in 410 sprint car competition, settled for second. Sean Michael, in his first start of the season, finished third.

McCLELLAND CLAIMS INSINGER PERFORMANCE “358” SPRINT CAR SPRING CHAMPIONSHIP;

RAIN FORCES POSTPONEMENT OF RMP THUNDERCAR, LIMITED STOCK FEATURES

Hanover, PA (4/25/08) –What a difference a week makes.

Brad McClelland, who sat in the stands to watch last week’s feature after suffering mechanical problems while leading his qualifier, motored to his first win of the year in the 30-lap Insinger Performance “358” Sprint Car Spring Championship at Trail-Way Speedway Friday night.

“It’s easy to win from the front,” said McClelland upon exiting the B&D Truck Hoist/J&K Salvage/Hoosier Tire/VMAC Racing #6 following his 11th career win at the McSherrystown oval, “What was tough was watching last week wishing I was out there.”

McClelland, who started on the outside of row one, followed polesitter Dale Hammaker into the first turn at the start, then chased the Hammaker’s Machine Shop #66 for the first seven laps until Hammaker’s steering wheel fell off and he spun into the infield to complete the seventh lap.

Hammaker reattached his steering wheel and tagged the rear, coming back through the field to finish eighth at the finish.

McClelland was unchallenged the rest of the way, despite a 28th-lap caution for Darren Schott, who spun in turn two. One lap earlier, eighth-starting Billy Dietrich passed Steve Owings for second.

“I saw the 8D on the scoreboard,” said McClelland, “Then he gave me a nudge on the backstretch and I knew it was time to sit up in the seat.”

A textbook restart gave McClelland all the room he needed to take the $1,200 top prize.

Dietrich, last week’s winner, settled for second with Owings third. Tim Wagaman III and 12th-starting Danny Dietrich completed the top five. Sixth through tenth were Mike Duncan, Brian Eichelberger, Dale Hammaker, DS Diversified Services hard charger Nathan Berwager (who started 17th), and and 13th-starting Nicole Bower.

McClelland’s win came six days after son Tim won his first career 270-cc micro-sprint feature.

“It was exciting,” said McClelland of Tim’s win, “But he’s got a long way to go yet.”

Heats for the 24 “358” sprinters were won by Owings, Dale Hammaker, and Joe Trone, Jr.

Rain forced postponement of the remainder of the show with two laps complete in the 20-lap RMP Thundercar feature. The event will be made up on Friday, May 9th.

Heats for the 14 thundercars were won by Sam Gallagher and Brian Walls.

Limited stocks were only able to complete hot laps at intermission, and will make up their feature as part of next Friday’s show (5/2).

Williams Grove Speedway

April 23, 2008

THREE CONSECUTIVE SATURDAY NIGHT SERIES EVENTS BEGINNING APRIL 26 MECHANICSBURG, PA -- The Saturday Night Series featuring the super sportsman cars will return to Williams Grove Speedway on April 26. The first heat is scheduled to start at 7:00. The sportsman division sponsored by Sutliff Cadillac, Hummer and Saturn appears to be as competitive as ever this season with some young lions already finding victory lane. Paul Miller's win on opening night was just his second career victory at Williams Grove and Mike Enders was the class of a 38-car field when he scored his first Grove triumph on April 12. Although he has yet to visit victory lane this season, defending series champion Frankie Herr has been very competitive with two top-five finishes. In addition to the sportsman cars, this week's program will also include limited late models, street stocks and a 50-lap enduro. Gene Knaub has taken the early lead in the A.J.'s limited late model point standings with second and third place finishes to his credit after just two races. It seems inevitable that Knaub will find victory lane again as he did on three occasions in 2007. Kory Sites scored his 8th career victory in street stock competition on April 12 and will be a favorite again this week.. April 26 will mark the first of three consecutive Saturday Night Series events at Williams Grove. In addition to the sportsman and limited late model divisions, the street stocks will be back on May 3 and May 10. The 305 c.i. sprints will replace the 4-cylinder stocks on May 10.

Williams Grove Speedway

$30,000 TOMMY CLASSIC APRIL 25 AT WILLIAMS GROVE

MECHANICSBURG, PA -- The Tommy Classic for sprint cars is set for Friday evening, April 25, at Williams Grove Speedway. Friday will mark the Silver Anniversary of this event, which was first run as the Early Bird Classic in 1983. While the race has undergone several name changes over the years the underlying goal remains the same: to offer the speedway's regular competitors a sizable early season payoff. A $30,000 purse will accomplish that goal and should ensure a field of the best sprint car racers in the East. The night's competition will begin with qualifying at 7:30. Heat races and a B-main will fill the field for the 30-lap Tommy Classic which will pay $6000 to win. Past winners of this early season event include Bobby Allen, Randy Wolfe, Doug Wolfgang, Dave Blaney, Don Kreitz, Jr., Kenny Jacobs, Frankie Kerr, Lance Deweae, Kevin Gobrecht, Stevie Smith, Dave Ely, Greg Hodnett, Fred Rahmer , Doug Esh and defending champion Craig Keel. This year's race will once again honor the memory of the late Tommy Hinnershitz, a Hall of Fame sprint car driver from Oley, Pa. Few racers are able to achieve first name recognition in sprint car racing, but in Pennsylvania during his racing career and throughout his retirement, racers and fans alike referred to the diminutive Pennsylvania Dutchman only as Tommy. He was a legendary performer who won 19 races at Williams Grove Speedway including the first ever run at this historic half-mile back on May 21, 1939. His accomplishments on the national level are too numerous to mention. But they can be remembered once again on April 25 with the running of the Tommy Classic. In addition to Cindy Rowe Auto Glass points, the Tommy Classic will also be the first race in this year's Diamond Series, a package of special events which offers a separate point fund.

FOUR DIVISONS OF RACING AT SELINSGROVE ON

ADVANCED CONCRETE SYSTEMS NIGHT APRIL 26

SELINSGROVE, Pa. – Advanced Concrete Systems of Middleburg will be the title sponsor of the four division racing program at Selinsgrove Speedway this Saturday, April 26. The speedway will switch to a 7 p.m. starting time for the duration of the season beginning this weekend. Track gates will open at 5 p.m.

The racing program will also be a tribute to the late Larry Yarger of Middleburg, a valued speedway supporter for many years and former principal of Advanced Concrete Systems, who passed away in September 2005.

The Cindy Rowe Auto Glass 358 sprint cars, MAPCO Machine Shop late models, massivepayday.com pro stocks and Collier Paving roadrunners will be featured in qualifying and feature events.

Mr. Yarger founded Superior Walls by Advanced Concrete Systems, Inc. in 1986. Advanced Concrete Systems is committed to providing homeowners with the driest and warmest living space available in the market today. For superior new home comfort, Superior Walls foundations are custom-designed and built to demanding specifications.

The 358 sprint car and late model divisions have not seen a repeat feature winner to date this season. Four 358 sprint car races have produced four different winners: Dave Calaman, Blane Heimbach, Pat Cannon, and Mike Walter. The three late model races this season have been won by Steve Campbell, Dustin Hoffman, and Jeff Rine.

Troy Miller has visited Victory Lane three times already this season in pro stock competition. Other pro stock races have been won by AJ Stroup and Chad Davis. Keith Bissinger also became a three-time winner at the track this season after winning last weekend’s Roadrunner 20. Ricky Bender is the only roadrunner winner so far this year.

Williams Grove Speedway

NAME CHANGE FOR NATIONAL OPEN

MECHANICSBURG, PA -- One of the country's richest and most prestigious sprint car events will have a new name this year. The former Williams Grove National Open is now the Morgan Hughes National Open presented by Cleveland Brothers. Hughes had owned the speedway from 1971 until his death on April 12. For the third consecutive year the National Open will pay $50,000 to win. Only the Knoxville Nationals offers a higher payoff to win a sprint car race. It was Hughes who approved raising the winner's share from $30,000 to $50,000 in 2006. "He had the foresight to raise the payoff and keep this race among sprint car racing's major events," said Justin Loh, general manager of Williams Grove Speedway. "Because of that we feel Morgan Hughes should be synonymous with the National Open." Cleveland Brothers had been the long time title sponsor of the National Open, and will graciously move to presenting sponsor so the race can be renamed to honor Morgan Hughes. The National is a two-day event set for September 26-27. The September 27 program will be televised live on SPEED. The Morgan Hughes National Open will be sanctioned by the World of Outlaws, which means the top names in sprint car racing will be in competition. That will be the third stop for the Outlaws at the Grove in 2008. Cleveland Brothers will sponsor a two-day World of Outlaws event on Thursday and Friday, May 15-16. The Outlaws will also return for the Cleveland Brothers Summer Nationals on July 18-19. Reserved seat tickets remain for all six World of Outlaws dates and are available at the speedway office. Credit card orders are accepted at 717.697.5000.

HODNETT WINS 1ST OF SEASON AT PORT ROYAL/HAUS,GARMAN REPEAT WINNERS

Greg Hodnett got the monkey off his back Saturday night at Port Royal Speedway. Hodnett scored his first sprint car win of the season leading every lap en route to a 2,700 dollar pay day. Hodnett previously won a race at nearby Lincoln Speedway and summed up his early season record. "It's been up and down", said Hodnett. " Hopefully this win will get the monkey off our back. Starting up front tonight really helped. I was able to pull away after the yellow and stay out front."

Hodnett dominated the race which saw just one caution on lap 13 when Matt Horst spun his racer in turn one. Horst completed the feature despite being lapped one time. The event turned into a freight train affair with little passing. Mark Smith started third and finished second. Last weeks winner Rick Lafferty started fifth and finished third. Cale Grubb was fourth for the second week in a row. Bob Bennett was fifth. Completing the top ten were Mike Erdley, Keith Kauffman, Mike Wagner, Todd Shaffer, and Todd Hestor. Heats for the 21 car field were won by Bennett and Hodnett.

Scotty Haus of Hamburg, PA won the 20 lap Late Model feature after passing McClure's Tim Wilson following a lap six restart. Wilson trailed Haus during the caution filled event which saw seven yellow flag periods. Most were for spin outs. However, the safety crews were summoned during the initial start when Dan Stone and Chad Hollenbeck crashed hard on the backstretch. Stone's car became wedged under Hollenbeck's on the back pit road.

Hollenbeck was shaken but not seriously injured. Both were out of action for the night. Selinsgrove, PA star Jim Yoder invaded and finished third. Tim Murphy was fourth and late model rookie Todd Snook was fifth. Sixth through tenth were Nick Dickson, Bob Dun, Bud Barton, Jason Miller and Matt Murphy. Heat races were won by Matt Parks, Yoder and Stone. 26 cars were on hand.

JT Construction, and CL Snyder Construction presented a special 20 lap Pro Stock Invitational race. 15 cars were on hand. The feature event was the best race of the night for the second straight week. Derick Garman won his second feature of the season after hooking up in a spirited battle with Tim Krape who was seeking his third victory of the year. Krape led the first 18 laps. The pair traded sheet metal before Garman finally got by for the win. Krape settled for second with Brian Towsey third. Dan Berry and Jim Palm

filled out the top five. The remainder of the top ten included Devin Frey, Cliff Peffer, Tom Krape, Jason Zook and Jim Somers. Tim Krape and Garman won qualifiers.

Duaine Smith scored his first ever super sportsman tour race win over Russ Mitten. Frankie Herr finished third with Jason Fry and Steve Fannasy following. Rich Eichelberger, Rick Barr, Derek Locke, Steve Wilbur and Gregg Foster rounded out the top ten. Heat races were won by Mitten, Smith and Eichelberger. 32 cars were in the pit area. Smith led every lap.

Action continues with the "challenge at the port" next Saturday night April 26. Fans and drivers will have a chance to register for prizes which will be given away later this season. Racers have a chance to win a new J & J sprint car chassis while fans can win a fair week ticket package plus tickets to the Tuscarora 50 pre race picnic. The sprint cars, late models, pro stocks and enduro cars are in action. Gates open at 5:00 P.M. with racing at 7. Ramsey's Car Wash/Cleveland Brothers Caterpillar Dealerships, J & J Chassis and Hoosier Tires join with local business to make the program possible.

ALAN KRIMES HOLDS OFF RAHMER FOR FIFTH CAREER 410 SPRINT WIN AT LINCOLN; Gene Knaub two-for-two in late model action; Kory Sites comes from rear for street stock win

ABBOTTSTOWN, PA, 4/12/08 - Alan Krimes had an old car and an old motor but was still the fastest car on the track Saturday night at Lincoln Speedway. Krimes took the lead early then survived a marathon of caution flags to put together his first win of the year in the 25-lap Cindy Rowe Auto Glass 410 Sprint car feature Saturday night. With track conditions to his liking, the Denver driver was able to get around Brian Leppo for the top spot with just six laps complete and drove off from the field for his fifth career feature win at the track. He started in the ninth spot. "This car has a lot of races on it and we ran it all last year and the motor has a lot of laps on it but it still runs strong," said the second generation racer. "We need to run good to keep this car going so tonight will help out an awful lot." Jeff Busby turned over before a lap could be completed to bring out a red flag. Four consecutive yellow flags over the next four laps kept the field slow as Jim Siegel, John Rudisill, Pat Cooper and a Cody Darrah/Niki Young tangle were the drivers involved in the first four yellow flags. Krimes was already up to third as Leppo set the pace from the second lap. Krimes drove under Leppo in turn four on lap six but then had to withstand numerous cautions during the next 10 laps. "I hate caution flags when you are leading the race," he stated. "I thought we ran like six or seven laps and it was actually only three. I just wanted to get the race over because I hate when you get to the front early because you are just waiting for someone to pass you." Krimes didn't have to worry about that. The action behind Krimes was intense as Leppo, Doug Esh, Stevie Smith and Fred Rahmer, who moved into contention on lap 15. Rahmer, who started 12th made some late race moves to take the runner-up spot from Leppo on lap 21 but could not track down the Conestoga Valley Garage, Krimes Machine Shop No. 87 sprinter, who held a 10-car length margin of victory. "I told Fred before the race I needed him to slow down a little bit", commented Krimes about the three-time 2008 winner Rahmer. "I see he finished second so he must have been coming but we were pretty good tonight." Ironically, three of Krimes' five Lincoln wins came after starting ninth in the field. "I don't know what it is about starting ninth here, but my crew guys get pretty excited when we start ninth," he added. "Three out of our five wins here we have started ninth, so I don't know what it is about that spot but we beat a good field of cars again tonight." Rahmer, of Salfordville finished second, strengthening his Lincoln points lead with Leppo, of New Oxford finishing a season-best third over Lancaster's Esh and Broken Arrow, Oklahoma's Smith. Completing the top 10 were Nick Schlauch, Jr., Niki Young, Brian Montieth, Aaron Ott and Mike Bittinger. Heats for the 25 410 Sprinters were won by Leppo, AJ Michael and Cris Eash, with Montieth winning the consolation.

Dover's Gene Knaub led all 20 laps of the Weikel Racewear 358 late model feature. Knaub started on the pole by virtue of a nine car inversion and was never challenged in his second straight win in the Pigeon Hills. Fellow front-row starter Dan Zechman finished in the runner-up spot over Jerry Bard, Craig Wagaman and Shaun Jones with Tyler Hershey, Kyle Lear, Roy Miller, Travis Mease and Jake Lettich completing the top 10 finishers. Heats for the 32 358 Late Models were won by Roy Miller, Mease and Lear, with Corey Houck winning the consolation.

Harrisburg's Kory Sites started in the 11th and final spot in the 20-lap Lawrence Chevrolet street stock feature but drove his way to the front by lap seven to score the win over Kevin Sigler, Randy Zechman, Dave Motter and Gary Welsh. Gary Welsh and Rodney Clouser won the heat races for the 11 street stocks.

Next Saturday night, April 26th at 7 PM, it will be Williams Grove Old Timers Night with the Cindy Rowe Auto Glass 410 Sprints being joined by the 305 Sprints and Thundercars. Gates will open at 5 PM.

WALTER BECOMES FOURTH DIFFERENT SPRINT WINNER IN AS MANY RACES;

DEFENDING CHAMP RINE SCORES FIRST LATE MODEL WIN OF SEASON;

MILLER TAKES THIRD PRO STOCK VICTORY ; BISSINGER WINS ROADRUNNER 20

SELINSGROVE, Pa. – Mike Walter, of Selinsgrove, drove to a convincing victory in Saturday night’s 25-lap 358 sprint car race at Selinsgrove Speedway. Walter held off the hard-charging Pat Cannon, of Etters, for his first win of the season and the sixth of his career in 358 sprint car racing at the track. He became the fourth different winner in as many races in 2008.

Defending track champion Jeff Rine, of Danville, won his first late model race of the season in the division’s 25-lap main event. The win marked the 42nd of Rine’s career at Selinsgrove and tied him with Check Adams for third on the speedway’s late model all-time career win list.

Troy Miller, of Tower City, drove to his second straight and third overall win of the season in the 15-lap pro stock feature, while Keith Bissinger, of Orangeville, won the 2nd Annual Collier Paving & Construction Roadrunner 20. Ray Rothfuss, of Muncy, was the roadrunner fast qualifier with a lap time of 28.224.

Selinsgrove Speedway will present a four division racing program of 358 sprint cars, late models, pro stocks, and roadrunners at 7 p.m. Saturday, April 26, sponsored by Advanced Concrete Systems of Middleburg.

Outside front row starter Cody Keller spun his No. 99K in turn four at the start of the sprint car feature when a rear tire went flat on his racer. For the restart, original fourth-place starter Nyle Berkes found himself on the front row and then in the early race lead at the drop of the green flag.

Berkes was chased by polesitter Chuck Paige for the first two laps before sixth-place starter Larry Kelleher raced into second. Eighth-place starter Mike Walter powered into third on the third circuit and drove by Kelleher for second on the seventh lap.

Walter reeled in Berkes and made the winning pass using the outside lane entering turn three on the tenth circuit. Berkes maintained the runner up position until the 16th lap, when point leader and 12th-place starter Pat Cannon began to show a lot of speed.

As Walter began to encounter slower traffic, Cannon started to gain real estate on the leader. At the checkered flag, Walter was victorious by three seconds over Cannon, Berkes, Davey Franek, and Larry Kelleher.

Second-place starter Jeff Rine wired the field for his win in the late model feature. Rine was trailed by polesitter Mike Bingaman for the first lap before fourth-place starter Tony Adams powered into second.

Adams raced in Rine’s shadow for a majority of the event until his No. 88 developed mechanical problems, forcing him to withdraw from the race on the 18th lap.

With Adams out of the race, ninth-place starter Coleby Frye took over the second position and attempted to reel in Rine to no avail. At the finish, Rine won by more than five seconds over Frye, Brett Schadel, Eric Hons, and Randy Burkholder.

Polesitter Peanut Heintzelman took the lead at the drop of the green flag in the pro stock feature. Seventh-place starter Troy Miller passed sixth-place starter Chad Davis on the third circuit for second and set his sites on Heintzelman.

On the fourth lap, Miller used an inside pass by Heintzelman in the second turn to take the lead. Once in front of the pack, Miller checked out from the field and posted a 3.82-second margin of victory over Scott Landis, Heintzelman, Frank Reisser, and Scott Spahr.

Last week’s winner Ricky Bender, who started on the pole in the Roadrunner 20, led the first four laps of the championship race with fourth-place starter Kyle Miller in pursuit. Fifth-place starter Keith Bissinger quickly advanced to third and made it a three-car battle for the lead.

On the fifth lap, Miller was scored as the leader, while Bender and Bissinger raced in his shadow. Racing down the backstretch on the sixth lap, Bissinger used the outside lane to make the winning pass by both Miller and Bender.

On the final lap, Miller closed in on Bissinger in a side-by-side duel for the lead and win only to have Miller loop his roadrunner in turn three. For a one-lap chase to the checkered flag, Bissinger had defending race winner and sixth-place starter Ray Rothfuss lining up behind him. The final lap saw Bissinger keep his car at the front of the line for the win by .91 of a second over Rothfuss. Bender, Matt Drum, and Nathan Engle completed the top five.

DIETRICH OVER ROHRBAUGH IN THRILLING TRAIL-WAY 358 SPRINT OPENER;

THOMAS CLAIMS MILLER’S RACIING PARTS THUNDERCAR SPRING CHAMPIONSHIP

Hanover, PA (4/18/08) –The packed house knew it would be a good one when Billy Dietrich and Jeff Rohrbaugh lined up on the front row for Friday night’s season-opening “358” sprint car feature at Trail-Way Speedway.

Dietrich, Brad McClelland, and Rohrbaugh are the all-time winningest drivers at the McSherrystown oval, and McClelland was unable to start the feature after dropping from the field while leading his heat.

Dietrich was slated to start third, but moved to the point when Colt White opted for the rear.

And two of Trail-Way’s all-time best put on the show the fans had come to see.

Dietrich took the lead at the drop of the green and weathered several caution flags to lead the first 20 laps with Rohrbaugh right on his tail. Rohrbaugh stuck his nose under Dietrich several times as the two hit lapped traffic on lap 13. For the next seven laps the two raced wheel-to-wheel, with Rohrbaugh actually scored the leader as the two evaded Mike Duncan (driving out of the infield after getting out of shape) on lap 21.

Dietrich reclaimed the lead entering the first turn, and held off the Roy Vincent Racing #7V over the final four laps for his division-leading 12th career Trail-Way win.

“That wore me out!” exclaimed a happy Dietrich upon exiting his Racers Used Parts/William Shellehamer Hay & Straw/ Café Custom Cycles/Hoosier Tire #8D in victory lane, “We haven’t raced much yet this year. Jeff is a great driver and I was going to stick to my guns…if he passed me, he passed me.”

When asked about the seven caution flags in the first six laps, Dietrich quipped, “We can run one lap at a time as long as I’m in the lead.”

Two-time defending track champ Rohrbaugh settled for second, with Randy Whisler scored third every lap. Danny Dietrich and Dale Hammaker ran side-by-side and passed each other several times during the event to finish fourth and fifth, respectively. Completing the top ten were Steve Owings, Ron Kramer, Mike Ressler, Duncan, and Craig Laudermilch.

Heats for the 22 “358” sprinters on hand were won by Joe Trone, Jr., Rohrbaugh, and Danny Dietrich. Both Rohrbaugh and Danny Dietrich ran faster 10-lap qualifying events than the existing track record, with Rohrbaugh’s 2:20.07 establishing a new record previously held by Mike Lehman (2:20.30 set on 9/2/05).

Gettysburg’s Ronnie Thomas claimed the win in the 25-lap Miller’s Racing Parts RMP Thundercar Sprint Championship.

Thomas started on the pole and led the first eight laps before Sam Gallagher took over the top spot for one lap. Thomas reclaimed the lead on lap 10 and controlled the remainder of the event.

Kyle Martin squeezed by Gallagher on lap 20 and finished second, with Gallagher third, Justin Mong fourth, and Rick Weaver fifth.

Wes McDaniel took the lead when Kyle Rohrbaugh dropped into the infield on lap six and went on to score the win in the 12-lap limited stock feature. Terry Hartlaub and Mark Reece were second and third.

DOUG ESH AND TODD RITTENHOUSE, JR. WIN AT THE GROVE

MECHANICSBURG, PA Doug Esh ended a spate of early season woes with a victory in the 25-lap sprint car feature Friday night at Williams Grove Speedway. Todd Rittenhouse, Jr. won the 20-lap limited (358 c.i.) sprint feature. Esh, who started second, took the lead from pole sitter Rick Lafferty at the start, but Lafferty drove by on the inside exiting turn four to lead the first lap. He held on until Esh drove around him in turn four 0n lap four. Once in front Esh began to open a huge lead over the field as a tremendous battle for top five positions raged behind him. Don Kreitz, Jr. slipped past Lafferty on the ninth tour, but Jeff Shepard and Brian Montieth, who comprised the fourth row in the starting lineup, made things very interesting. With positions changing on every lap, Montieth got by Kreitz for the last time with five laps left and began to wipe out Esh?s huge lead. Montieth had nearly caught the leader when a caution flag fell on the last lap. Esh won the half mile dash to the finish and scored his 14th career victory at Williams Grove. Montieth settled for second. Shepard took third place from Kreitz on the final lap. Defending Cindy Rowe auto Glass champion Todd Shaffer completed the top five. Lafferty, Mark Smith, Fred Rahmer, Chad Layton and Mike Erdley finished in positions six through ten respectively. Heats for the 29 sprint cars were won by Lafferty, Esh and Shaffer. Brian Leppo claimed the consolation race. Rittenhouse took the early lead from the pole in the 358 feature, but lost it to John Westbrook on lap two. Rittenhouse was back in front on lap ten and rolled to his first victory at Williams Grove. Danny Massey, Cory Haas and current Bass Pro Shops point leader Pat Cannon followed. Adam Wilt, Aaron Ott, Scott Geesey, Dave Calaman, Chad Criswell and Mark Freeland completed the top ten. P. Cannon, Calaman, Ott and Freeland captured heats for the 39 limited sprint cars in the pit area. The consolation races were won by Elvin Diller III and Blane Heimbach. Williams Grove will host the $30,000 Tommy Classic for sprint cars on April 25.

358s RETURN APRIL 18 -- TOMMY CLASSIC APRIL 25 MECHANICSBURG, PA -- When the limited (358 c.i.) sprints return to Williams Grove speedway on Friday night, April 18, along with the sprint cars, Dave Calaman will have another opportunity to get his name into the Grove's record book in a very unique category. Calaman, 48, of Carlisle, owns five victories in super sportsman competition and one sprint car triumph at Williams Grove, but has never won in a limited (358 c.i.) sprint at this historic Mechanicsburg half-mile. On March 21 Calaman was poised to become the first driver to win in all three open wheel divisions that compete regularly at Williams Grove Speedway. He led the 358 feature until the fourth corner with just over a lap remaining when Pat Cannon used a bold move to take the lead, then went on to win the race. A week later Cannon came back to score his first victory in the Grove's premier sprint car class and became the first driver to win in sportsman , limited sprints and sprint cars. The chance to make history for Calaman was denied by Cannon, but payback would be sweet for the open wheel veteran this week, who could now become the second driver to win in all three divisions. That would still be quite an accomplishment since the Grove has been hosting limited sprints since 1989, super sportsman since 1981 and sprint car racing since 1939. Both defending champion Cannon and Calaman will have plenty of competition this week. A strong field of 48 limited sprints jammed the pit area for the division's only 2008 appearance on March 21. The 410 c.i. sprint car teams will headline Friday night's program beginning at 7:30, but will have the pit area to themselves on April 25 for the running of the Tommy Classic. This annual event will honor the memory of the late Tommy Hinnershitz, one of the all-time greats of sprint car racing.
