J.J. Henes wins Saturday's Must See Racing Midwest Lights feature at Lorain Raceway Park.

SOUTH AMHERST, Ohio (Sept. 23, 2023) – Though J.J. Henes gave a valiant effort, Cody Gallogly cemented his place as a two-time Must See Racing Midwest Lights Series champion on Saturday night at Lorain Raceway Park.

Henes did everything within his power to erase a 15-point deficit, leading all 30 laps of the Steve Sexton Memorial feature at the three-eighths-mile oval en route to victory, but Gallogly’s third-place finish was more than enough to secure his second series title in as many years.

Gallogly’s final championship margin was 10 points. He becomes the first back-to-back and first multi-time champion in Midwest Lights history.

“It’s what you work for all season, and we had to work for this one, especially with the crash at Owosso (Speedway in Michigan) during the summer that set us back,” noted Gallogly. “We never gave up, though; we just dug down deep and got it done. I feel like we’ve had one of the best cars all season and it’s nice when you can see that consistency and performance rewarded when it’s all said and done.”

Gallogly kicked off the night by setting the fastest time in group qualifying, a lap of 13.343 seconds (101.177 mph), with Bob Komisarski and Sawyer Stout topping the pair of 10-lap heat races held prior to the start of the main event.

A five inversion originally put Stout on the pole, but after he spun coming to the start of warm-ups and had to relinquish his scheduled grid spot as a result, Joshua Sexton led the field to green in an emotional moment – the first race for the series since the passing of his father and car owner, event namesake Steve Sexton.

Henes took over from that point on, however, charging from third to first in the opening lap and never looking back en route to a 1.471 second victory over runner-up Andrew Bogusz.

Though Gallogly didn’t come into the night looking for a third-place finish, he knew that this was the one night he had to protect his points position in pursuit of the bigger picture.

“I don’t like racing for points; when it’s in the back of your mind that’s just not the most fun feeling as a racer, but we knew tonight was the one night we might have to do that in order to bring home this championship,” Gallogly said. “We always race to win, but we knew a top three would get it done tonight and once I got there, I made sure nothing crazy was going to happen toward the end of the race.

“It’s special, to be the first two-time champion with this series; I’m glad my family was able to be here to celebrate with us tonight and we’ll head home, regroup and try for a three-peat next season.”

Stout rallied back to finish fourth and Sexton closed out the top five.

In a special tribute, series officials planned for an extra lap at the conclusion of the feature, during which all cars came to a stop in turns three and four and allowed Sexton’s silver No. 51s to come to the checkered flag alone in honor of his late father – one of the staunchest supporters of Must See Racing over the years.

The 2024 Must See Racing Midwest Lights schedule and championship banquet details will be released in due course. For more information, visit www.mustseeracing.com.

MARGESON CLAIMS 30K PINK LADY TOP PRIZE

September 23, 2023 – Meridian, Idaho – Evan Margeson claimed Saturday night’s 9th annual Pink Lady Classic at Meridian Speedway, and with it, $30,000. It was the richest payday for a pavement sprint car event in the history of the sport.

Margeson finished in the eight spot after the first segment. The 100-lap race was broken up into 3 segments. An inversion of 8 landed Margeson the pole position for the second. He grabbed the lead at the drop of the second segment and used the clean air to his advantage as carnage occurred behind him throughout the second segment. Many of the top contenders were involved in altercations that eliminated them. For the night.

The second segment was full of multiple incidents that brought out two red flags. Troy DeCaire rode up over Bryan Gossel’s right rear and launched his car into the turn 3 catch fence. Later Jason Quale rode the turn four wall.

The final segment would start straight up, and teams were allowed to use a new right rear tire for the final 24 laps. Margeson took advantage of his pole position and dominated the final segment to win the race by several car lengths over Davey Hamilton Jr. who was unable to mount a serious charge. It was the biggest win for the Washington state driver thus far in his career.

The winner’s share was set to pay $27,000 to the winner. Just before the cars were set to push off for the feature sponsorship raised the winner’s payday to $30,000

Zane DeVault Caps Weekend with Second Win and $5,000 Fall Haul; Ryan Bunton is Sprint Invaders Champ!

(Bill W) West Burlington, IA, September 23, 2023 – Zane DeVault walked away with the $5,000 prize in Saturday’s “Fall Haul” at the 34 Raceway in West Burlington, Iowa. It took perseverance after a two-and-a-half-hour delay and some white knuckle driving in traffic, but the Plymouth, Indiana brought home his second Sprint Invaders win in as many nights. He also captured the $3,000 event on Friday at the Lee County Speedway in Donnellson, Iowa. Ryan Bunton finished second and nailed down his first ever Sprint Invaders championship.

Paul Nienhiser jumped out to an early lead in the 30-lap main event, followed by Bunton, Tim Estenson and Cam Martin. DeVault entered the top five by lap four. The track was narrow and heavy after a two and a half hour rain delay, the leaders were in traffic on the fifth lap.

When Nienhiser stumbled behind a lapper, Bunton snuck under him to lead lap six. Nienhiser bulled his way back by Bunton to the point. Contact was made, but Bunton was able to save his racer and continue in the second spot. Martin moved into the third spot at that point with DeVault in tow.

Twelve laps in, Nienhiser was attempting to lap JJ Beaver when they made contact. Both cars got upside down, but the drivers were o.k. The high speeds continued as Bunton assumed the lead, ahead of Martin, DeVault, Estenson and Kelby Watt. DeVault began changing to a bit higher line on the cushion. He shot around Martin into the second spot on lap 23. Shortly after, Colton Fisher went up ini smoke to bring the final caution.

DeVault used the high side of two to pass Bunton for the lead on the restart, and he began pulling away. His win came by a straightaway over Bunton. Martin tried to emulate DeVault’s high line in an attempt to get by Bunton. He got a bit too high in turn two and Estenson shot by for third with three to go. Watt was fifth. Josh Schneiderman, Carson McCarl, Riley Goodno, Josh Higday and Chris Martin rounded out the top ten. Schneiderman, Estenson, DeVault and Goodno won heat races before the rains began to fall. The Shake-up Dash was scratched. A 17-car B main saw only seven cars remain after the rains. Dugan Thye claimed that race. Plenty of cash and contingencies were handed out.

“Man it was close,” said DeVault of his winning pass of Bunton. “My car owner (Jeremy Scadden) gave me a heck of a car. We made some decisions and the rain kind of messed up our gameplan. That was a pretty good race. I have to give the track crew a lot of credit for getting this in. Hats off to the fans for sticking it out. I went to the top and it worked out. You have to take risks and we did. It got pretty racy. We doubled down this weekend, and that’s good. We needed to get back on our feet and make some money.”

“It was close racing and Paul’s a good guy,” Bunton said of his close encounter early in the race with Nienhiser. “He’s going for the win just like we were. Unfortunately, the track was just hammer down and our car got tight. We gave it everything we had and still came away with second. That isn’t anything to shake your head at, but man I wanted to win. I heard (DeVault) rev up and go around us and I wondered what was under the hood. We’re a family team and everything depends on what is going on in our lives. We didn’t set out to win this championship, we were taking it one weekend at a time. I have to give credit to my Dad (Scott). He lives in Florida and I got him to come up and help me out. We didn’t have a mechanical breakdown all year and he’s the reason.”

“We had two great nights,” said Estenson, who crashed while leading at Donnellson Friday. “The first night was just driver error. Tonight, we could have been a little better, but I’ll take what we could get. The car is one piece and we’ll go to the next race. I saw my guy in the stands and he wanted me to try the bottom. I tried that in one and capitalized (by passing Martin). We’re happy with the finish.”

(Hartford, OH)…Despite rain to the east for the second straight event that cancelled most all of the races in Pennsylvania, eastern Ohio remained dry as Sharon Speedway was able to bring down the curtain on the 94th anniversary season on Saturday night. A near capacity crowd turned out to watch Brad Sweet-World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Cars and Ty Rhoades-Whelen Econo Mods capture wins and celebrate in the Hovis Auto & Truck Supply victory lane. Sixty-six cars were on hand for the two-division program.

While Brad Sweet led the entire caution-free 30-lap feature, his $10,000 victory in the World of Outlaws Sprint Car feature was far from easy. The four-time and defending Series Champion had Gio Scelzi and David Gravel all over him for the duration, but the duo were unable to race their way by as Sweet was able to extend his points lead following his ninth victory of the season. It marked the second straight year Sweet has been victorious at the Sharon finale as he joined Steve Kinser (4) and Danny Lasoski (2) as the only drivers with multiple World of Outlaws wins at Hartford, Ohio oval.

“I’m excited to get the win,” Sweet said. “It was a tough battle for sure. I saw Gio (Scelzi) multiple times, I think, off of (turn) two, or it could’ve been David (Gravel). I just saw orange. It was a great race. The bottom got cleaned off. Once I found it, I knew if I was just patient and didn’t overdrive the car it would be really hard for someone to get by me.”

Following his dash victory, Sweet jumped to the lead at start of the feature, while Scelzi went fourth to second over Gravel and Tanner Holmes. Sixth starting Sheldon Haudenschild passed James McFadden on the opening lap then got Holmes for fourth on lap two. Lapped traffic came into play on lap eight and by lap 10 it was a four-car battle for the lead.

As the laps ticked off, Scelzi was all over Sweet and pulled even running the bottom on lap 20, but was unable to complete the pass. That opened the door for Gravel, who then raced side-by-side with Scelzi until making the pass for second on lap 23. It was now time for Gravel's turn at Sweet as he threw everything at the leader beginning on lap 25. Scelzi was then able to regain second on lap 27 before Gravel got back by for good on lap 28. Sweet though by now had control and took the checkered flag first for his third career Sharon win by 0.512 seconds in the Kasey Kane Racing-owned, NAPA Auto Parts-sponsored #49.

“I just didn’t know where to be sometimes- lapped traffic was tough,” Sweet explained. “I probably stayed up top a little too long, but I didn’t want to leave that lane open. I was probably a little too free. I started off a little too good and got free pretty quick and was trying to use the wall on the (corner) exits to get me down the straightaways. I just was struggling a little bit, but we got into victory lane. That’s half the battle.”

Gravel, who leads the Series with 10 victories, earned his 29th podium finish of the year with his runner-up effort. “It was a good weekend,” Gravel said. “I just wish I could take that start back. I thought Brad was going to go to the top and he went to the middle and kind of confused me and Gio got by me. I thought Gio was really good early, and it looked like Brad was searching and didn’t know where to go as well. I thought the bottom was kind of the best place to be, but we were just a little too free down there. Then it started cleaning up, and our car really came to life when that bottom came in and the grip picked up and made our car sit right. We were alongside Brad there, and I guess I just wish I ran in harder than him and banged wheels and pushed him out of the way if I could do it over again. Obviously, we’ve got to beat him every night here moving forward. Obviously, if he wins, the best we can do is run second.”

Scelzi was third. Holmes was able to get back by Haudenschild to take fourth, while eighth starting Carson Macedo did the same as he completed the top five. Haudenschild dropped back to sixth at the finish. Brothers Dave and Dale Blaney, who both won three "410" Sprint Car features this year at Sharon, started 10th and 11th and ironically finished seventh and eighth respectively. Spencer Bayston was ninth over Cole Duncan.

Macedo set fast time over the 36-car field in qualifying with a lap of 14.749. Heat race winners were Gravel, Haudenschild, McFadden, and Scelzi. Donny Schatz, who won the May 20 show for his first career Sharon "410" victory, captured the last chance B main. The entire World of Outlaws program had zero caution flags!

Two-time 2023 UMP Modified winner, Ty Rhoades, was a hired gun on Saturday night in the Whelen Econo Mod division. Rhoades got the call to drive Jerry Leamer's ride normally driven by Andy Buckley and Seth Brenot to offer his expertise on the #965 and delivered. The former Econo Mod regular started seventh and made the winning pass on a restart on lap 11 to win in his first start of the season in the division. Rhoades became the 6th different winner in 10 Econo Mod races in 2023. All three of Rhoades' 2023 wins were worth $1,000!

"This is incredible to win three races here this year," acknowledged the 32-year-old Harmony, Pa. driver. "Jerry, Seth, and Andy have been working really hard this year. They were struggling a little bit at the end and wanted to get a victory on the 83 (Double) and Will (Thomas), who isn't racing in the Econo Mods anymore so they asked for some advice and I gave it to them. Then the opportunity arose for me to drive it and my wife, who is at home with our one-year-old, said I should go race. It's pretty cool to get this for Jerry and his team. They have a really nice car, are great people, and really deserve this. We had (Ken) Schrader here tonight and Jake (Eucker) is one of the best in the Econo Mods short to Jeremy. I had a lot better car than I was showing early. I was trying to get my tires under me. I don't think anyone realized the middle tracked up and I was able to get him (Eucker)."

Jacob Eucker used the outside to take the lead from pole-sitter Bryan Wagner at the start of the 20-lap feature, while fifth starting Ken Schrader moved into second. Dennis Lunger, Jr. started sixth and was halfway to the front on lap two taking third from Wagner. Schrader was all over Eucker, but was unable to make the pass. A caution for an Eric Nellis II spin with nine laps completed changed the complexion of the event. On the ensuing restart, Rhoades passed both Lunger and Schrader for second then got another caution one lap later.

That caution, which would be the final one of the event, put Rhoades besides Eucker. Rhoades was able to drive around Eucker on the outside on lap 11 and then quickly took control of the event. With the last 10 laps going green-to-checkered, Rhoades' margin of victory was 3.243 seconds. It was Rhoades' sixth career Econo Mod victory and ninth overall at track.

Jeremy Double, who won three races this season to tie Brandon Blackshear for the all-time victory leading mark of 21, came up one spot shy. Double started back in ninth and made his way to third on the final restart. Double challenged Eucker the rest of the way before sneaking around him off turn four at the finish to earn the $700 runner-up spot. Eucker dropped to third after leading the first 10 laps.

Lunger was fourth. Opening night winner, Dustin DeMattia, went 11th to 5th. Schrader dropped to sixth after challenging for the lead in the first nine laps. Garrett Calvert raced from 23rd to 7th to earn the $100 Summit Racing Equipment Hard Charger gift card. George Vestal IV was eighth over Steve Haefke, Jr. Wagner dropped from the pole to 10th at the finish. Heat winners over the season high 30-car field were Double, Haefke, and Rhoades.

Cap Henry earns 6th Fremont win and 410 track title; Weaver scores 7th 305 win and 5th track title; Sorg gets 2nd truck win and McCaughey earns track title

Sunday, Sept. 24, 2023

By Brian Liskai (Saturday, Sept. 23, 2023) – Cap Henry completed the trifecta of 410 sprint racing in Ohio Saturday night. The Republic, Ohio driver got his sixth feature win of the year at Fremont Speedway on Fremont Federal Credit Union Night to wrap up his first ever track title to go with a track championship he earned at Attica Raceway Park and the title of the Attica Fremont Championship Series in 2023.

Henry, who now has 11 feature wins total in 2023, scored his 18th career Fremont win, came into the night just one point out of first in the point standings of the Fort Ball Pizza Palace 410 Sprints. Point leader Travis Philo led the first four laps of the feature before getting over the cushion in turn four and ending up on his side. Henry inherited the lead and survived several late race cautions for the win.

Seven time Fremont Speedway track champion Byron Reed would storm to a second place finish in his final sprint car race as he is retiring after 34 years of racing. TJ Michael, Dan McCarron and 20th starter DJ Foos rounded out the top five.

“I’m just so proud of my guys. That was a nerve racking race. Everything that could have gone wrong inside that thing did. The temp gauge was pegged, the steering kept messing up under the cautions, I was so nervous. My guys, Jeff and Gary and Zack and Chris and Chad…all the families involved and all the sponsors…I’m so thankful. I’ve come close to a track championship here so many times and for whatever reason the Fremont championship was just always hard. The closest I came to winning a championship here before I finished second to Byron (Reed) and it’s so cool to see him go out like this,” said Henry beside his Jeff Ward Demolition, Elliott’s Custom Trailers and Carts, Premier Planning Services, Tony Elliott Foundation, Primal Tee Shop, SCS Gear Box, Napa of Fremont backed No. 33W.

Fremont, Ohio’s Paul Weaver took the lead from John Ivy on lap five and held off a late race challenge from Dustin Dinan to score his 7th Fremont Federal Credit Union 305 Sprint feature win of the year and secure his fifth Fremont Speedway division track championship. It was Weaver’s 78th career win at the track to lead all competitors in the track’s history. Dinan, Bryan Sebetto, Kody Brewer and John Ivy rounded out the top five.

“When I saw Dustin on the bottom I knew I had to move down because it was faster down there. I have to keep winning because there’s a group of young guys right there to catch me,” said Weaver beside his Steve Brown’s B&B Drain Services, M&L Excavating, Hampshire Engines backed No. 1W.

Fremont’s Keith Sorg was able to nurse truck to a second straight win in the Burmeister Trophy Dirt Trucks despite a broken right front suspension. It was his seventh career win at the track with Art Howey, Cory McCaughey, Chuck Roelle and Dustin Keegan rounding out the top five. McCaughey’s third place finish earned him his first ever Fremont Speedway division championship.

“It was worth all the time, effort and money to build this new truck during the winter,” said Sorg of his Fremont Fence, M&L Excavating backed No. 4X.

“These kind of things don’t come easy, you have to focus. In 21 years I’ve finished second in points so many damn times. Finally we did it,” said McCaughey.

Fremont Speedway will be back in action Friday, Oct. 6 with the dirt trucks/street stock show down with the super late models joining the racing card as well.

Dalton Herrick Trims Point Lead With A-Main Victory At Genesee Speedway

Race Report by Steven Ovens – September 23rd, 2023

(BATAVIA, NY) – Jordan Hutton has had the points lead in the A-Verdi Storage Containers CRSA Sprints powered by Super Gen Products well in hand for the last two months. Blemish-free racing, wins, consistency have all been the components of a fairly dominant 2023 campaign.

Friday night in Genesee County at Kurt and Bonnie Stebbins’ Genesee Speedway, the blemish-free season took a hit and Hutton saw his forty-five point lead get cut in more than half with seven laps remaining in the penultimate CRSA event of the season. Hutton had been chasing second-high point man Dalton Herrick all race long until the driver out of Hanibal, NY slowed on Lap 18 due to what was described as “a four dollar part” within the fuel system.

It was a bad luck deal for Hutton, however on the flip side of the coin, Herrick had about as perfect a night as he could have expected to have. The McDonough, NY driver drew the front row for his heat race and pulled away to his third heat win of the season and giving him enough passing points to make the Top 9 redraw for the 25-Lap A-Main.

Herrick’s longtime girlfriend, crew chief, pit crew and four wheeler operator Takla drew the pole at intermission.

“At this point in the season with Jordan so far out front in points, we’ve really shifted our focus to going after wins,” noted Herrick post-race.

They did just that.

Herrick dominated the 25-Lap feature event in front of a packed crowd for the first night of Genesee’s Topless Crate Nationals. While the race for the lead wasn’t necessarily in question, the racing behind Herrick was something to behold.

John Cunningham was on rails all night long at Genesee, with the Pompey, NY native flirting with disaster lap after lap in the third and fourth turn. When you test the devil, he eventually will bite back and in fact bit Cunningham just prior to completing Lap 10. Cunningham was running second at the time but would drive his way back to a Top 5 finish by the end of the event.

Hutton made quick work on the opening laps to go from his fifth starting spot to a podium position and capitalized on Cunningham’s mistake to go to second. He would hold the runner up spot until he found mechanical trouble on Lap 18.

Nathan Pierce had another breakout run on this night, coming off his first ever CRSA Top 5 finish last weekend at Penn Can Speedway. When Hutton fell out of the race, Pierce claimed the second position and had to drive his very best race to try and fend off the challenges from the race’s Powdertech Powdercoating Hard Charger Tomy Moreau.

Moreau made the seven-hour trip to Genesee and was probably ready to call it a night after hot laps. Moreau had a power steering issue that cropped up during Engine Heat, which they couldn’t get corrected for Hot Laps. With issues persisting, rookie driver Michael Smith gave up the seat in his No. 7S and allowed Moreau to compete in the heat race.

Moreau finished second in that heat, allowing him to make the redraw based on his passing points total. With Moreau’s No. 22 having repairs made for the A-Main, he had to go tail for switching cars which gave up his sixth starting spot. The “Canadian Kid” was the show in the A-Main, working inside the Top 10 by Lap 7, the Top 5 by Lap 12 and battling with Pierce for second on Lap 19.

With five laps to go, Herrick started showing smoke entering the corners. This intensified the battle between Moreau and Pierce- thinking that if Herrick dropped out that race could have been for the lead.

“We had a radiator hose come loose and (the engine) got really hot there at the end. I just wanted it to try and hold on long enough but we may have hurt it in the process,” said Herrick.

“When you’re that close to the end you just have to try and baby it and hope it lasts. This is a big win for us and now we will have to try and win Afton from twelfth. Last year I spun out on the first lap and came from the back to win, so we’ve shown we can do it.”

Herrick was followed across the line by Moreau, Pierce, another impressive run from Ray Preston for fourth and Cunningham who rebounded for fifth.

For his huge recovery from spinning out to race back to a Top 5, Cunningham earned an extra $25 for the Maguire Family of Dealerships “Magnificent Move of the Race.”

Following Genesee, the series will take a weekend off before visiting Afton Motorsports Park on Friday October 6 for the series championship.

MONTGOMERY CLAIMS POLE FOR PINK LADY CLASSIC

September 22, 2023 – Meridian, Idaho – Langford Station, British Columbia, Canada driver Jeff Montgomery put down a lap of 10.928 seconds to claim the pole for Saturday’s 9th annual Pink Lady Classic at Meridian (Idaho) Speedway. Montgomery was the only driver in the 10 second bracket and will be shooting for a $27,000 payday in the Speed Tour sanctioned 100-lap event.

Davey Hamilton Jr. will share the front row with Montgomery after his lap of 11.183 seconds was good enough to secure the outside front row starting position. The top two drivers were locked into Saturdays 100-lap finale based on qualifying time and did not have to participate in any preliminary events.

“We had a fast car all through practice” explained Montgomery after setting quick time. “We just decided to lay one down. We were able to qualify late, which is great, because the track gets faster. The tire rule here at Meridian Speedway kind of supports going fast here. I think being on the pole is where we need to be. You avoid the mess in the back at the start.

(Qualifying Results) 1. 33J-Jeff Montgomery 10.928; 2. 14-Davey Hamilton Jr. 11.183; 3. 33-Kyle Alberding 11.261; 4. 71-Riley Rogers 11.261; 5. 81-CaseyTillman 11.324; 6. 41-Tyler Roahrig 11.366; 7. 98x-Kyle Tellstom 11.366; 8. 14w-Aaron Willison 11.368; 9. 02-Anthony Quintana 11.377; 10. 6g-Bryan Gossel 11.408; 11. 07-Colton Nelson 11.408; 12.

Zane DeVault Cops $3,000 at Lee County Speedway in First Sprint Invaders Start!

(Bill W) Vinton, IA, September 22, 2023 – Zane DeVault made the most of his first ever start with the Sprint Invaders. The Plymouth, Indiana driver inherited the lead with eight laps to go and won the $3,000 main event at Lee County Speedway in Donnellson, Iowa on Friday. The win came aboard the Jeremy Scadden Construction #6z.

Tim Estenson looked good, leading early in the 25-lap feature over DeVault, Kameron Key, Bret Tripplett and Devon Dobie. While Tripplett and Dobie traded fourth, Estenson was entering lapped traffic on lap six. A lap later, Dobie’s good run ended when he lost a right rear wheel to the parking lot. Gage Pulkrabek also slowed and exited.

Estenson led DeVault, Key, Tripplett and Jamie Ball back to green. A lap later, Dustin Clark spun, bringing another yellow. Both Ball and Cam Martin got by Tripplett and exchanged the fourth spot in a good duel once the race went green again. On lap 11, Ryan Jamison contacted the frontstretch wall, bringing another caution.

Once again, Estenson had open track ahead of him, trailed by DeVault, Key, Martin and Ball. Estenson hit lapped traffic on lap 17, and DeVault reeled him in and things were really getting good when Josh Higday slowed to bring yet another slowdown. A lap after that restart, Estenson jumped the turn two cushion and flipped, surrendering his lead. He was uninjured.

DeVault inherited the lead after an open red flag for fuel. Key was second, ahead of Ball, Martin and Paul Nienhiser. While Ball battled past Key for the second spot, DeVault increased his lead and won going away, hitting traffic with two to go.

DeVault’s win came ahead of Ball, Key, Martin and Nienhiser. Carson McCarl, Riley Goodno, hard-charger Ryan Bunton, Tripplett and Dustin Selvage rounded out the top ten. Pulkrabek, Ball, Goodno and Dobie won heats. Cole Mincer flipped in heat four. He was not injured, but was done for the night. Estenson won the Shake-up Dash and Kelsey Ivy claimed the 12-lap B main.

Teal and checkered ribbons adorned the cars in honor of Brian Hetrick. The Hetrick family was also a part of the Dash celebration, and the “Missing Man” formation was commenced in honor of Brian.

“It’s pretty great,” said DeVault in Victory Lane beside the Jeremy Scadden #6z. “It’s just Hunter and me here tonight. We’ve been busting out butt back there and the Ivy’s helped us. We’ve just put this deal together and run a couple of nights. It’s good to come back after flipping at Lucas Oil last weekend. We were so good in lapped traffic, we just couldn’t get there. I was following Tim, but I knew he was flirting with (the wall) coming off of two. I tried to stay off that, and my car was so good, I didn’t have to get up there. I could run him down in lapped traffic, and I felt he was pushing it so hard. I was just trying to show a nose, and keep pressure on him. He ended up making a mistake.”

“It’s nice getting back racing,” said Ball. “I’m driving a different car than I have my whole career. We have a better setup for it, and I’m just super-comfortable. Literally, everywhere we’ve gone, we’ve gone forward. It’s been fun to get to these tracks outside of Knoxville and just let it hang out a little bit. Cam (Martin) is a great talent. The things he’s been able to do in a few short years has been incredible. We were just really good on the restarts. I was able to get a good drive off of two on the bottom. That would set me up for three and four. We had some lucky breaks, but to go from fifth to second…I’m happy with that. I run the bottom at Knoxville, so to be able to go up and run the wall here gives me confidence going into tomorrow and Lake Ozark later in the year.”

“This was awesome,” said Key. “This is a fun racetrack and a fun group of cars. It’s a mix of really nice equipment, and more budget racers too. All in all, it was a great first time out with them. I wish I could have held onto second there at the end, but third is great. I could really stick the bottom of one on the restarts and let it flow. I don’t really think that was the best groove once we all got going. I just wish we could have had a longer green flag run. Every time we got to lapped traffic…I definitely wasn’t better than Tim or Zane, but I could close in at that point, and then you never know what’s going to happen.”

The Sprint Invaders conclude their season with the $5,000 “Fall Haul” Saturday night at the 34 Raceway in West Burlington, Iowa. For more information on the Sprint Invaders, visit www.SprintInvaders.net or visit us on Facebook.

Jordan Thomas Leads Wire to Wire for First ESS Win at Outlaw

By Curtis Berleue (Dundee, NY) | For the first time in his career, Jordan Thomas is an Empire Super Sprints winner. Starting on the pole, Thomas led every lap en-route to the $4,220.20 payday in the Cal Lane Memorial Fall Nationals at Outlaw Speedway.

It was Thomas and outside pole sitter Jeff Cook who brought the field to the green flag, with Thomas taking the lead as the field exited turn two. After just two trips around the speedway, however, the only caution of the night flew for Kyle Drum who slowed coming off turn four.

On the ensuing restart, it was again Thomas who jumped out to the lead. By lap 5, Thomas had built up nearly a straightaway advantage over Dylan Swiernik, Cook and fourth-starting Jared Zimbardi.

Thomas caught the rear of the field on lap 8 and began working lap traffic on the high side. Luckily for him, the lap traffic would not slow his pace.

As the laps wound down, the running order would remain largely unchanged at the front of the field, and Thomas soared to a near 3 second victory.

“You have to be quick every time you’re on the track, and have a little bit of luck with the redraw too,” said Thomas. “We’ve been struggling pretty bad this year, and now we’ve picked it up at the end of the year here.”

“I was actually worried there for a little bit. I got behind (Matt) Tanner and (Logan) Crisafulli and had to go to the bottom a couple of times. I was worried that someone was going to go by me on the top, but I guess we were good enough to hold on.”

Dylan Swiernik advanced one spot from his third starting position to come home in second place on the night.

“Unfortunately, I don’t think we made the changes we needed to on the shocks, and it kinda bit us a little bit coming off of the corners,” said Swiernik. “We were still pretty good, and after the month we have had, to come away with a second-place finish – I’ll be happy with that.”

Rounding out the Ashley Lynn Winery podium was Jared Zimbardi.

“The track was in good shape, the top was dominant so you had to get up there,” said Zimbardi. “It was pretty good early on, a little bit tackier through the night. I thought the bottom would stay, but you had to get right up against the wall, that’s what makes it fun.”

20 cars entered the nights action at Outlaw Speedway. The field was divided into three timed hot lap groups, with Robbie Stillwaggon, Jordan Poirier and Jordan Thomas earning Rifenburg Contracting fast time awards. E&V Energy heat wins went to Stillwaggon, Matt Farnham, and Shawn Donath, while the Cobra Coaches Dash presented by Fratto Curbing was won by Matt Tanner.

The next scheduled event for the Empire Super Sprints is this coming Friday September 29th at the Fulton Speedway in Fulton, NY.

“J-Hutt” Continues Fonda Success, Scores Win and I-90 Pit Stop Challenge Series Title

Race Report by Steven Ovens – September 19th, 2023 –

(SODUS, NY) – Saturday night during Fonda 200 Weekend, the A-Verdi Storage Containers CRSA Sprints powered by Super Gen Products dazzled the fans with a familiar face gracing Victory Square for the third time in as many years.

Jordan Hutton has found his stride with the “Track of Champions” since joining the series three seasons ago. Fonda will always be a special place for the Hutton team as the sight of their first victory together on tour during Fonda 200 Weekend in September of 2021.

Hutton started the night finishing second to “Rapid Ray” Preston in his heat race and would draw the third starting spot for the 20-lap A-Main. A great field of 29 sprints filled the Fonda pit area with 24 cars pushing off for the twelfth race of the 2023 campaign.

A big win on Friday night at Fonda and another top five at Penn Can the following night helped Hutton extend his point lead over Dalton Herrick to forty-five points. The Fonda victory also locked up the Pit Stop Convenience Stores “I-90 Pit Stop Challenge” Series title, where Hutton will claim the lion’s share of a healthy point fund at the December banquet.

Following Hutton across the line was Blake Warner who logged his best career CRSA finish with a second place finish- his second Top 5 of 2023. Billy VanInwegen has been strong nearly every time he has brought out the VanDusen-owned No. 56v. They were strong again at Fonda, starting from the pole position and filling out the podium in third.

Herrick kept Hutton within reach but had to settle for fourth place. Rounding out the Top 5 was the “Canadian Kid” Tomy Moreau who logged his first CRSA win at Fonda on June 3.

For his efforts in claiming his best career CRSA finish, Warner earned an extra $25 for the Maguire Family of Dealerships “Magnificent Move of the Race.” Tyler Graves gained nine positions in going from nineteenth to the Top 10 to score the Powdertech Powdercoating Hard Charger bonus.

The CRSA Sprints will now head West to Kurt and Bonnie Stebbins’ Genesee Speedway on Friday night September 22 for the very first time in Series history. Following Genesee, the series will take a weekend off before visiting Afton Motorsports Park on Friday October 6 for the series championship.

(September 15, 2023) – Nitro 54 Variety presented the Second Annual Northern Crate Nationals at Ohsweken Speedway on Friday night; Mike Bowman took the $5,000 Action Sprint Tour Pinty's National Series win, while Sam Hafertepe Jr, Ryan Turner, Dave Bailey, and Kyle Rothwell also went to victory lane.

Action Sprint Tour Pinty's National Series The 30 lap A-Main for the Second Annual Northern Crate Nationals featured 2023 Strickland's Crate Sprint Car division champion Mack DeMan and 2022 Crate Nationals winner Mike Bowman on the front row of the grid. DeMan set the pace and quickly found himself encountering traffic by lap five. Bowman was close to DeMan and putting pressure on the leader, finally making the winning pass in heavy traffic after 18 laps. "The Iceman" Johnny Miller ran a steady pace in the low groove all race, and overtook "The Highlight Man" DeMan for the second position with only six laps remaining.

Bowman held a steady line through the constant traffic, enjoying a six second advantage over Miller in the closing laps. With no one else to contend with Bowman sailed across the finish line in first, picking up the victory and $5,000 grand prize. The win makes Bowman a two-time champion of the Northern Crate Nationals, and the only driver win this prestigious event. Crossing the finish line next were Miller in second, DeMan third, Brett Stratford fourth, and Matt Billings in fifth.

DeMan set a new Crate Sprint Car qualification record earlier in the night and earned the $300 Dip-A-Chip Fastest Qualifier Award. The $350 Bill Peer Memorial Best Appearing Car Award from Corr/Pak Merchandising went to Kiana Teal, and the Slack Lumber Longest Tow Award went to Jeff Weare from Richmond, Quebec.

360 Sprint Car NSCN Twin 15's A pair of guaranteed starting spots in Saturday night's Northern Sprint Car Nationals were available to the winners of Friday night's NSCN Twin 15's. Sam Hafertepe Jr started on pole with Glenn Styres next to him for the first of the two 360 Sprint Car A-Mains. Hafertepe rocketed out in front of the field. Styres found himself in a furious battle for second with Darren Dryden, eventually losing the position while Hafertepe drove away. Mitch Brown, Matt Farnham, and Jordan Thomas also got around Styres. It was the Hafertepe show the rest of the way as he drove a flawless race through traffic. Hafertepe crossed the finish line with a 4.4 second advantage over second place finisher Dryden. Rounding out the top five were Brown, Farnham, and Thomas.

Ryan Turner and Nick Sheridan brought the field to the green flag for the second of the Twin 15's. Turner set a blisteringly fast pace during the opening laps of the race, quickly asserting himself as the driver to beat. A battle was raging deeper in the field as Cory Turner and Lucas Smith were contending for fifth. Sheridan smelled a chance at the lead as Ryan Turner picked his way through traffic. Sheridan began to close the gap, but time ran out as Ryan Turner crossed the finish line in first. Sheridan settled for second, while Jeff Cook finished in third, Dylan Westbrook was fourth, and Cory Turner took fifth.

Middleport Mechanical Thunder Stocks Ryan Beagle and Dave Bailey brought the field to the starting line to begin the 20 lap Thunder Stock A-Main. Bailey quickly overtook Beagle for the lead on the opening lap, however Beagle stayed close. The first yellow flag of the race flew due to Braeden Burning spinning to a stop in turn two. A second caution came out due to Trevor DeBoer coming to a stop.

Beagle executed the restart perfectly, gaining a comfortable gap over Bailey. It seemed like Beagle had the victory in hand with one lap left to go but a caution flew due to another Burning spin, this time right in front of Beagle. The caution set up a green-white-checkered finish; Bailey got alongside Beagle in turns one and two on the restart and the two made contact trying to get to the same spot exiting turn two. The dramatic finish saw Bailey squeeze ahead and take victory in the final Thunder Stock race for the season, while Beagle salvaged fifth place. The rest of the top five were Kyle Wert in second, Logan Shwedyk third, and Ryan Dinning fourth.

HRW Automotive Mini Stocks Kyle Rothwell started on pole with Tim DeBoer alongside him to start the 15 lap Mini Stock A-Main. Rothwell led the opening laps until an early caution came out on lap three due to Cyrstal Soules spinning and contacting the inner wall of turn four.

The race restarted with Rothwell still retaining his lead. Fabio Olivieri and Alex Riley battled for position, showing hard racing but also great respect towards each other. Rothwell cruised to victory after leading every lap, as no one was able to contend with his pace. Next to cross the finish line were Olivieri in second, Riley third, Tim DeBoer fourth, and Ken Hair fifth.

Ryan Timms, Ricky Lewis capture Hockett-McMillin Memorial feature victories at Lucas Oil Speedway

WHEATLAND, MO. (Sept. 17, 2023) - Youth was served Sunday night as 17-year-old Ryan Timms led all but the first lap while capturing the 13th annual Jesse Hockett-Daniel McMillin Memorial at Lucas Oil Speedway.

The Oklahoma City driver picked up $10,000 for the American Sprint Car Series victory after taking command on lap two and never looking back, holding off runner-up Jason Martin.

In the POWRi WAR Sprint main event, 25-year-old Ricky Lewis of Camarillo, Calif., outdueled Xavier Doney in the late stages to earn the $4,077 first prize.

The Hockett-McMillin Memorial recognizes the legacy of Jesse Hockett, from Warsaw, Mo., who was a star in both the winged and non-wing sprint divisions when he lost his life in a shop accident in 2010. His cousin and crew chief, Daniel McMillin, was killed in an automobile accident in 2006.

The final day was postponed until Sunday after rain washed out the action on Saturday.

In the ASCS main event, Jake Bubak led the opening lap before fellow front-row starter Timms took over on lap two. While there would be four stoppages for cautions, Timms was only seriously threatened up front once the rest of the way.

"I'm really happy I was able to get this win," Timms said. "It's a bucket-list race to win and I'm glad I was able to get it done this year. I want to thank the Hockett family for everything they do for this event."

Timms rolled to a 2.2-second lead by lap eight as sixth-starting Sean McClelland took the second spot away from Blake Hahn off turn two. The race’s first stoppage came on lap 11 when Brandon Anderson spun into the wall in turn two to bring out the red flag.

As action went back to green, Timms kept setting a brisk pace and had a 1.1-second lead when another caution appeared on lap 14 when defending race winner Wayne Johnson slapped the wall in turn four. Trailing Timms and McClelland were Jason Martin and Tim Estenson who was on the move after starting 14th.

McClelland was challenging for the lead on lap 18 just as Garet Williamson’s spin in turn three brought about the third caution. McClelland and Estenson battled for second as action resumed and Timms took advantage to pull out to a 1.1-second led by lap 23.

Zane DeVault rolled his car in turn four on bring out a lap-23 red flag. DeVault quickly crawled out of the car and walked away from the mishap. Martin was able to move into second on the restart, but Timms was checking out as the laps clicked away.

"It was rubbered up earlier on today and rubbered up for that non-wing feature," Timms said. "I was really expecting it to all blow off really fast and go straight to the top and just conserve your tires. The track actually stayed together fairly well.

"Leading, you don't know where you're getting caught at or what the faster line is. I seen McClelland was a little quicker than me up on the board. I finally found a line I felt comfortable doing and we were able to put it in victory lane."

Timms prevailed at the checkers by 1.66 seconds over Martin, the ASCS season championship leader from Liberal, Kansas.

“I knew that if I'd just stick around that I'd be there at the end," Martin said. "Thanks to my guys for giving me a good race car. We can't be any happier. That's probably one of the youngest talents we've got right there. To run second to him, on this kind of a track that changes so much, we're pretty proud of."

Bubak finished third with Estenson fourth and Hank Davis fifth.

POWRi WAR Sprint win to Lewis: Ricky Lewis started 11th, got into the top five early and took over the lead on lap 20. He hung on from there, outdueling ninth-starting Xavier Doney for the 30-lap win. Both Lewis and Doney came through last-chance qualifiers to make the feature field.

"I have a lot of friends out in California who knew Jesse really well," Lewis said of Hockett. "When he raced out there, I was really young and never got to meet him. This is so cool. This has been an unbelievable year. We've won about everything that we wanted to win."

Kory Schudy led early before Doney shot to the lead on lap six, using the high side to get around Schudy in turn four. Doney's lead ballooned to 2.8 seconds when a lap-13 caution again bunched the field.

Schudy, of Battlefield, Mo., regained the lead on the restart over Riley Kreisel, but Doney was soon back in the runner-up spot. Schudy continued to lead Doney with Lewis in third when a red came out on lap 20 for eighth-place Keith Martin got upside down in turn four.

"I knew we still had a lot left," Lewis said. "Xavier did a great job. I'm not really sure how his tire held up. It was coming apart with 15 to go."

Lewis rolled into the lead on the lap-20 restart over Doney with Schudy slipping to third. Lewis’ lead increased to one second by lap 25 as Doney and Schudy battled each other for second before Doney began to make a move.

Doney caught Lewis and those two staged a series of sliders over an entertaining three laps until Kreisel rolled to a stop to bring out a caution on lap 28. That set the stage for a two-lap shootout for the win.

Lewis was able to get a solid restart and held on to beat Doney by .802 seconds for his first Hockett-McMillin Memorial win.

"We saved the tires pretty well until the last few laps, when we started to turn it up," Doney said. "That yellow kind of screwed us. We were in the middle of a battle for the lead and the win. It could have been different if that yellow didn't come out.

"We're in the backup car with the winged motor in it. We did pretty good with what we had."

Schudy settled for third with Clouser rallying for fourth and Casey Shuman taking fifth.

The race had an eventful start when outside front-row starter Isaac Chapple went up on two wheels, spun and came to a stop on the high side of turn two. The mishap ended Chapple’s race before a lap was completed.

Heffner Bags ‘Hunting Season’ Checkers
09-18-2023

If you want somebody else to win, it’s probably not a good idea to let Kenny Heffner start up front.

The Watsontown, Northumberland County, racer drew the outside front-row starting position Saturday night at Selinsgrove Speedway, raced out ahead of fellow front-row starter Nick Sweigart, fought off an early challenge (and another one later on) from Ken Duke, and led all 20 laps to win one of the biggest River Valley Builders PA Sprint Series races of the season, the “Race to Hunting Season,” sponsored by the Pennsylvania Game Commission as part of the 25th FANiversary Tour, marking a quarter century of PASS/IMCA/RaceSaver competition in Central Pennsylvania.

A six-year veteran of RaceSaver competition, Heffner collected his fifth career victory, his second of 2023 (in 16 races) and his career second at Selinsgrove, driving the Cale Reigle-owned Nextgen Power Wash/Morgan Paving/PC Haines/Wicked Dog Grille #97. He won by 1.090 seconds over Kruz Kepner of nearby Kreamer, whose late charge through the top five earned him the runner-up spot. Hometown veteran Duke, who leads active PASS racers with five career wins at Selinsgrove, held on for third, with points leader Logan Spahr of Lewisberry taking fourth, after quickly moving up from his eighth starting position.

Zach Rhodes of McVeytown, also a constant presence in the race-long battle for the top positions, came home fifth.

John Scarborough, Josh Spicer, Seth Schnoke, Sweigart, and Dustin Young completed the top 10.

The intensively competitive feature ran non-stop in six-and-a-half minutes, and all 26 starters completed the distance.

After disposing of his initial challengers, Heffner staked out a comfortable lead over the first half of the race, but when traffic became a factor, Duke began eating into the leader’s margin, and for a while, it appeared Spahr might challenge for his 10th win of the year, but Heffner shook off those challenges as well. That left it to Kepner to provide the late fireworks, taking third from Spahr on lap 15 and second from Duke two laps later.

In a race where many charges or fades took place quickly – and some were later reversed – Mike Melair hung onto the best advance of the night, moving from 18th starting position to 13th at the finish, a gain of five spots. That gave him the W.C. Eshenaur & Son Hard Charger Award. Spahr’s Eshenaur-sponsored car and Mike Alleman each moved up four positions.

Thanks to the Pennsylvania Game Commission, Heffner took the winner’s share of a purse double that of most River Valley Builders PASS events, plus he received a custom-decorated cake, courtesy of Deb Young

With 36 teams on hand for the action, heat races were hotly contested, and Spahr, Dustin Young, Kepner, and Schnoke took home the wins, each receiving a $50 winner’s prize from Brian Snyder and other Snyder family members in memory of Brian’s dad Jim “Slippery” Snyder, a 50-year Selinsgrove push-truck driver. Tyler Snook won a hard-fought, 16-car B-Main that saw five cars battle to the end for the final qualifying spot.

The night almost was completed without a caution flag for the PASS events, as all four heats and the feature went green from start to finish. The B-Main came within one lap, but on the final circuit, rookie Kasey Weaver flipped his #4W in the first turn. He was not injured, but the car was heavily damaged. Bill Sheehan and Chris Kreider both dropped out during that caution, and along with Weaver, were the only drivers not to complete one of the races Saturday.

Group time trials were held to set the heat race line-ups, and Duke posted the fastest overall time (18.612 seconds), with Spahr second.

The River Valley Builders PASS tour does not have a race scheduled for this coming weekend, but it returns to action on Saturday, Sept, 30, at everybody’s favorite bullring, the quarter-mile Path Valley Speedway. The season’s final two races will be at Port Royal Speedway: Saturday, Oct. 7, during the World of Outlaws weekend at the Port, and the Keystone RaceSaver Challenge, the season’s biggest event, on Saturday, Oct. 21. That final race also is part of the 25th FANiversary Tour, sponsored by the Pennsylvania Game Commission.

Ricky Lewis Victorious in Championship Night of Hockett/McMillin Memorial with POWRi WAR

Belleville, IL. (9/17/23) Ricky Lewis would ride the high-side to capture the Jesse Hockett Daniel McMillin Memorial Championship Night feature victory honors at Lucas Oil Speedway to notch his first career feature win with the POWRi Wingless Auto Racing Sprint League after Mother-Nature would throw a curve and delay racing into Sunday afternoon action.

Initial on-track actions would witness Ricky Lewis start quickest in non-lock-in hot laps with a 15.403-second lap as Xavier Doney, Riley Kreisel, Ricky Lewis, and Wesley Smith would each earn last chance qualifier wins with Kory Schudy perfecting Preliminary Night Two to snag the weekend event high-point qualifier award to earn the pole starting position. The top-eight in event points would automatically transfer into the A-Main including Kory Schudy, Isaac Chapple, Mario Clouser, Matt Sherrell, Rylan Gray, Blake Vermillion, Wyatt Burks, and Caleb Stelzig.

Conflicting on the initial green flag start would find Kory Schudy battle against front-row companion and Night One winner Isaac Chapple into the first pair of corners with Kory Schudy gaining the opening on-track advantage as Xavier Doney, Blake Vermillion, Mario Clouser, and Matt Sherrell all ran inside the top-five while attempting to run down the speedy pacesetter in the early feature stages.

Battling all over the well re-prepared racing surface would find Kory Schudy and Xavier Doney going wheel-to-wheel for most of the feature as drivers all jockeyed for positions during an intense and action-packed feature event with Ricky Lewis overtaking for the prized position around the mid-point of the thrilling event.

Holding the point position for the final twelve revolutions would witness Ricky Lewis emerge victorious from starting in the eleventh position with Xavier Doney placing closely behind in the runner-up position as Kory Schudy rounded out the final podium placements as the checkered flag waved.

“This is so cool to be standing down here at such an unbelievable event and it just adds more to an awesome year,” said an elated Ricky Lewis in the Lucas Oil Speedway Jesse Hockett/Daniel McMillion Memorial victory lane ceremonies. Adding, “I think I gained the lead at just the perfect time to weather the rubber wear.”

Staying in the hunt for the front of the field all event, Mario Clouser would finish fourth as Casey Shuman rounded out the top-five finishers in the POWRi Wingless Auto Racing Sprint League in Championship Night of the Jesse Hockett/Daniel McMillin Memorial at Lucas Oil Speedway.

Felmlee flies to 1st mercer win since 2011 in FAST western pa sprint car championship. Cipriano wins 2nd FASTRAK mod feature. Ealy takes 3rd mini stock win.

By Jim Balentine
(Mercer,Pa)

Ageless veteran Bob Felmlee scored a popular win at Michaels mercer raceway Sat night winning the prestigious Western pa sprint car championship with the FAST 410 sprint car series and his 1st mercer win since Aug 20th 2011. Ayden Cipriano won his 2nd FASTRAK modified win of the season and Carl Ealy scored his 3rd mini stock win of the year. 73 entires in 3 classes graced the pit area with the final checkered falling at 10:02 pm.

Bob Felmlee in the 72 year history of this track had 23 wins with his first in 1989 and his first track championship the same year. Felmlee would win track titles again in ‘98, ‘06, ‘10, and 2011 and won his final mercer race on aug 20 2011 before retiring. Bob would get back into racing and won his first feature back at Tri city and now has his name added to the Hall of Fame drivers that have won the western Pennsylvania sprint car championship. Felmlee would start on the pole and would lead lap 1 until the leading feature winning of 2023 AJ Flick would take command of the 30 lap affair. Flick would lead Felmlee the entire race at would have a 3.3 second lead on lap 15. As Flick would be diving through traffic Felmlee would start to inch closer and closer narrowing the gap down to 1.8 seconds until on lap 25 Flick shredded his right rear tire ending his great run with just 5 laps left. On the restart Felmlee then had to contend with 13 time winner Adam Kekich for the remaining laps as Kekich would be .658 away from the lead. Felmlee would pull away with 3 laps to go and would go on to winning his 1st FAST 410 sprint car race, his 1st western pa sprint car championship, $4000 and his 24th career Mercer win by 1.5 seconds. Kekich would be 2nd, Floridian Danny Sams in his 1st visit started and finished 3rd, Michael Bauer was 4th and Ricky Peterson who won the Justin Snyder memorial dash for $1000 was 5th.

A jubilant Felmlee would say , “I was thinking the only way I had a shot (at Flick) was if he was in lapped traffic or something happened. It’s cool to win this race (western pa sprint car championship) I have raced here a lot and won a lot of races here since 1989!! I’m an old guy running just as a hobby. Thank you all for coming!”

Jeremy Weaver would set fast time over the 26 car field.

Ayden Cipriano would take the lead from Ryan Gutherie on lap number two and go on the win his second FASTRAK crate modified feature of the year at Mercer collecting the $1000 bonus first prize. “It was pretty good I’m glad I could come back out here and race since the mid lites when I was 13 so it’s good to come back here. We can always get better and we are trying to hit every race and trying to get better and better each time. We still have a lot of races to go and we will see what happens.” Guthrie would lead lap one until Cipriano took over but the battle was for 2nd and 3rd as three-time track champ Brian Schaffer and Kole Holden battled lap after lap. Schaffer would take over 2nd on lap 6 and was within 1.4 seconds from the lead. Holden running 3rd would then have to hold off 8th starting Ben Easler and 2023 track champ Jordan Ehrenberg as the 3 would run side by side for many laps. Holden would then get around Schaffer on lap 13 and try to catch Cipriano but could come no closer than 1.2 seconds as Cipriano went on to the win by 1.9 seconds in the 20 lap feature event. Schaffer was 3rd , Easler settled for 4th and Ehrenberg 5th.

Corey Bice took the green for the $500 to win mini stock feature. Carl Ealy from his 4th position would move into 2nd and trail Bice. Bice , looking for his 2st career mercer checkered would hold off Ealy until lap 9 when the 2 time winner would take over. 2023 track champ Andy Thompson would come from his 9th starting spot to take over 3rd on lap 6 and would then get around Bice for 2nd on lap 10. Thompson would try to get around Ealy but Carl held his ground and won his third of the season by .371 and 13th overall. Bice would hold on for third, Chuck Davis 4th and Josh Eakman 5th.

Mercer will be dark next week but then return in two weeks for the annual little guy nationals with complete shows both nights Friday and Saturday with practice held on Thursday.

Gomola and Stremme Share the Spotlight at Clinton County Speedway

Mill Hall, PA – Jacob Gomola won his third feature of the season in the RaceSaver Sprint Cars feature event on Friday night at the Clinton County Speedway with a stellar field of 29 cars. Former NASCAR driver David Stremme came from the 10th position to win the IMCA Modified main event. Tanner Jones won the Central PA Legends, Ross Perchak won the 270s and Hunter Flook won the 4 cylinders.

Polesitter John Walp jumped into the early lead of the RaceSaver 25 lap feature event with Jacob Gomola following in second place. Scranton’s Johnny Smith, who has won the last two events at the speedway charged from his fourth place starting spot and passed Gomola on lap number four. Smtih caught Walp and made a pass for the lead on lap number eight. With ten laps complete, Smith was leading Walp, Gomola, Owen Dimm and Dale Schweikart.

On lap number 11, the leaders began to encounter lapped traffic, as Gomola slipped in the second spot. Two laps later, the caution came out for two separate incidents with Josh Beamer spun in turn two and Nolan Groves in turn number three. Smith and Gomola restarted first and second. The caution flagged waved on laps 17 and `18 with Smith being able to hold off the challenges of Gomola on both occasions. Owen Dimm moved into third on lap number 19. With three laps remaining, Smith and Gomola were in a heated battle for the lead. Gomola would pull alongside Smith down the back stretch and Smith would hold him off as they exited turn number four headed to the line. The pair of drivers were side by side at the start-finish line as the white flag waived. Gomola and Smith touched going into turn number one, resulting in Smith spinning in front of the field. Gomola led the field back to green and held off Dimm for the win. “That was just a racing incident with two drivers going for the same piece of real estate,” said an apologetic Gomola. Dale Schweikart, John Walp and Timmy Bittner rounded out the top five. Kruz Kepner, Matt Tebbs, Derek Swartz, Josh Fox and Kasey Weaver completed the top ten. Heats were won by Groves, Dimm, and Steve Kennewell. Timmy Bittner won the B-Main.

The IMCA Modifieds sanctioned by the NY Penn IMCA Modifieds signed in for competition with a 20-car field including former NASCAR drivers Ken Schrader and David Stremme

Jake Maynard and Rodney Morgan brought the field to the green flag, with Morgan grabbing the early lead. David Stremme and Rich Michael Jr started 10th and 12th respectively, with Stremme breaking out first, moving to 3rd by lap 5 and pressuring Maynard for 2nd. Michael Jr cracked the top five on lap 6 and battled with Keith Jack Lamphere and George Dixon as the first caution flew for debris on lap 7

On the restart, Stremme lined up alongside race leader Morgan on the inside of the front row, with Stremme taking over the lead while Keith Jack Lamphere fought with Maynard, taking third. Michael Jr slid wide in turn four and lost several spots, dropping into eighth in front of Ken Schrader. Lamphere had contact with another car and fell back to sixth as Brad Sites jumped forward to third. Schrader's night ended with a mechanical issue just before the halfway point, as he headed pit-side with Shawn Bruce. Following a caution on lap 22 Stremme held off Morgan on the final restart to take the victory by five car lengths over Morgan, followed by Brad Sites, Rich Michael Jr, and Eddie Sites. Heat races were won by Stremme, Morgan, and Rich Michael Jr.

Youngster Colton Guiher and Hunter Zimmer led the field of 270 Micro Sprints to the green flag. Jeffrey Weaver quickly moved from his sixth starting spot to the front of the field with Ross Perchak, who started eighth following in his tracks. Weaver and Perchak were approaching lapped traffic by the race’s midway point. On lap number eight, Weaver’s car suffered mechanical issues as his car stopped on the front stretch giving Perchak the race lead. Cody Siegel, who started seventh, raced his way to the front but couldn’t catch Perchak who claimed his second victory of the season. Hunter Zimmerman was third, Denny Rinehimer was fourth and Jillan Maurer was fifth. Sixth through tenth were Mac Wert, Zachary Glass, Cory Stabley, Matt Dixson, and Colton Guiher. Heat races were won by Weaver and Perchak.

Tanner Jones charged to the front of the pack at the drop of the green flag during the Central PA Legends feature event. Jones was being chased by Chris Transeau and Rick Hartwig in the early stages of the race. The event's only caution occurred on lap number seven for Hunter McElroy. Jones maintained the lead as Hartwig, Transeau, and Devin Friese battled for second, third and fourth positions. Hartwig took second on lap number nine, Transeau took second for laps twelve and thirteen with Devin Friese taking the runner up position with 2 laps remaining. Jones cruised to his third win of the season over Devin Friese, Chris Transeau, Colton Friese and Rich Hartwig. Heats were won by Jones and Transeau

Front row starter Dylan Hoover led the first three circuits of the Four Cylinder feature event. On lap number four, Garret Lucas took the lead with Hoover in second, Hunter Flook in third. On lap number five, Zak Kline moved into the top five. Flook took the lead on lap number seven, but Kline was on the move and gaining ground on the race leader. Kline caught Flook and was trying to make a pass for the lead. On the final lap, Kline gave it his best effort as the pair raced to the checkered flag with Flook edging out Kline by .006 seconds. Matt Weaver, Kyler Stahl, and Andrew Ricketts completed the top five. Heats were won by Flook, Weaver, and Ricketts.

Champions Crowned at Skagit Speedway

9/16/23

Alger, WA - On a cold night, the action was hot at Skagit Speedway as we crowned four champions and lit up the night sky with a gigantic fireworks show. Winners on the night were Trey Starks twice, Levi Klatt and Steve Peters. Division champions were Starks, Colton Heath, Klatt and Howard Vos.

The Karmart USA Superstore 410 Sprint Cars closed the show on Saturday night and it was all Starks in the main event, as he led all 30 laps and pocketed $5,000 for his efforts on top of securing the season championship. Jason Solwold ran second and threatened Starks on multiple restarts but could never make the pass. Colby Thornhill was third, on top of setting fast time for the non-scramble lock in cars. Solwold won the scramble.

An hour prior to the 410 feature, Starks and Solwold again ran one - two in a main event, this time in the 360 division. Starks would lead all 30 laps with ease in this one, as Solwold was involved in a slide job fest with eventual track champion Colton Heath for the runner up spot. At the end, it was Starks pocketing $3,000 for the victory while Solwold outdueled Colton in the end for runner up honors. Colby Thornhill also topped the non-scramble cars in time trials, and it was Solwold again winning the scramble.

The closest point battle coming in was the Sportsman Sprint battle where Eric Fisher and Levi Klatt had been close all year long. Fisher set out to the early lead and had a comfortable advantage in leading the first 12 laps before mechanical problems left his car up in smoke and forced him to retire for the rest of the feature. With opportunity knocking, Klatt answered, leading laps 13 through 25 to take the win and title in front of an enthusiastic crowd. Levi Kuntz and Cory Swatzina rounded out the podium. Keira Zylstra was quick time and Klatt won the scramble.

Howard Vos entered the night with a comfortable, but not insurmountable, lead on Brian Michelson in the hornets. Michelson would lead the main with Vos close to him in the early part of the main before Steve Peters made his presence known, driving past Howard and Brian and into the lead on lap 15. Peters would steam roll on to win the feature, while Michelson took second and Vos secured his title with a third place finish. Michelson won the scramble.

Must See Racing Engine Pro Sprint Car Series

PLYMOUTH, Ind. (Sept. 16, 2023) – After years of trying, Jason Blonde finally ascended to the pinnacle of the Must See Racing Engine Pro Sprint Car Series on Saturday night.

Despite finishing second in the tour’s season finale at Plymouth Motor Speedway, Blonde’s effort was more than enough to secure his first Must See Racing championship over title rival Charlie Schultz.

Blonde outperformed Schultz in all facets of the night at the quarter-mile paved oval. He was one position faster than the defending champion in qualifying, won his heat race and then finished two spots ahead of Schultz in the title-deciding 40-lap feature.

Despite the championship battle being tied at one point during the closing stretch of the season, Blonde never officially trailed from start to finish after winning the season opener back in May.

The final margin of Blonde’s maiden Must See Racing title – the eighth major pavement sprint car championship of his storied career – was 24 points over Schultz.

“Second isn’t what we come to the racetrack for, but a points title still makes this a sweet night,” said Blonde, whose championship also marked the first Must See Racing crown for car owner Tony Nosal. “Thanks to Tony and all my guys for everything they do and have done all year to get us to this point. We’ve run this series off and on for a long time, but to finally put everything together and win a championship is something that we’ve wanted to achieve as a group, and we’ve finally done that.

“Charlie gave us fits all year; he’s a great competitor and he made us work for it,” Blonde added. “He was right there at the door knocking and it really could have gone either way at several moments. I just tried to not let it get to me – it’s hard not to think about it – but being able to be consistent helped out.”

Though Blonde started from the pole of Saturday’s main event, it was Davey Hamilton Jr. who ended the season on a tear, winning his third straight feature to close out the season.

Hamilton used a crossover sweep entering turn three to take the lead from Blonde on the third lap, then drove away to a commanding 10.228 second victory in a caution-free feature.

“Even in warmups, I knew we had a good car,” Hamilton tipped. “I tried the outside then just to see what it could do, and I felt like we had something for Jason if we could just hang on for the first couple of laps. He overdrove turn one a bit there and I was able to get by him on the other end, and from that point we just had a great race car. I can’t thank Kirk Morgan and all my guys enough for that.

“I saw the scoreboard at one point, and I knew Jason was still running close to the front … but I saw him in front of me at the end, so I couldn’t believe we almost lapped the whole field. This was a special one, for sure.”

From start to finish, Saturday’s race took eight minutes and 21 seconds to complete.

Behind Hamilton and Blonde, Tyler Roahrig completed the podium for his best finish of the season in the Ken Statham-owned No. 36, with Schultz crossing the line fourth in his IBT Motorsports No. 9s.

Joe Liguori was fifth, while fast qualifier Bobby Komisarski – who started sixth but drove up to second using the outside lane of the racetrack – ended up back where he began after a mechanical failure in the final corner of the race caused him to spin in turn four just 100 yards from the finish line.

In his first-ever race in a full-size sprint car, rookie Brady Allum put together a solid effort and scored a top-10 finish, earning hard charger honors after advancing from 13th to ninth.

Komisarski kicked off the night with his first Must See Racing fast time, setting a lap of 11.486 seconds (84.625 mph) in qualifying. Tommy Nichols and Blonde split the pair of eight-lap heat races.

The night also featured a missing-man three-wide salute to late Must See Racing car owner Steve Sexton, who passed away suddenly on Sept. 10 following the series’ Labor Day weekend visit to Owosso Speedway in Ovid, Mich.

With the Must See Racing national sprint car season complete, the Must See Racing Midwest Lights will conclude their season and crown a champion on Sept. 23 at Ohio’s Lorain Raceway Park.

Bubak, Schudy make late moves for Night Two feature wins at Hockett-McMillin Memorial at Lucas Oil Speedway

WHEATLAND, MO. (Sept. 15, 2023) - Jake Bubak made the most of a late-race restart and grabbed the American Sprint Car feature win on Night Two of the 13th annual Jesse Hockett-Daniel McMillin Memorial at Lucas Oil Speedway.

Bubak earned $3,000 for the victory along with valuable points toward a prime starting position for Saturday night's $10,000-to-win ASCS finale.

In the co-feature with the wingless sprints, Kory Schudy of Battlefield, Mo., captured the POWRi WAR main event to take home $2,000 and also set himself up nicely for the finale.

Drivers in both divisions the first two nights earned points toward starting positions for Saturday night's program with bigger money on the line. The POWRi WAR winner on the final night will take home $4,077.

Bubak of Arvada, Colo., grabbed the lead on lap 21 from Jason Martin two laps after a restart and held off Martin for the ASCS feature win. Before a lap19 caution, it appeared that Martin, the ASCS championship points leader, was on his way to victory lane.

"We obviosuly didn't have anything for Jason there before the rubber came in. Their car was so good in the slick," Bubak said. "But that's the fortunate part about running second. I could smell (the rubber) before the last yellow and I just cheated my entry on both ends and it stuck, so I went in there a little harder the next time and was able to clear him."

Martin, the ASCS season points leader, started up front and set a blistering pace from the start, roaring to a three-second lead just five laps into the 25-lap feature. Kaleb Johnson moved into second on lap three with Wayne Johnson running third and Kyle Bellm fourth.

Martin’s lead began to shrink as he caught lapped traffic on lap nine, with Kaleb Johnson cutting the gap to 1.4 seconds. The race’s first caution flew on lap 12 as a lapped car spun right in front of Kaleb Johnson and Wayne Johnson, collecting them in turn four.

Bubak restarted in second and Bellm third, but Martin quickly was able to open a 2.9-second lead by lap 15. Martin poured it on from there, cruising to a 4.4-second lead by lap 19 and it was clear that only a caution would prevent Martin from winning - and that's what happen when Andrew Deal spun in turn three.

Bubak got a good run on the restart and then sailed around the outside of Martin entering turn three on lap 21 for the race’s first lead change. Bubak rolled from there for his 10th overall victory of 2023, beating Martin by about six car lengths.

“I definitely love racing with Jason," Bubak said. "He's had an unbelievable year. For us to come here and beat him, it's a big accomplishment. We had a really good car tonight and hopefully we can be just as good tomorrow."

Martin said he felt like a sitting duck on the restart, with Bubak able to watch from close behind and take advantage of any mistake he made in the changing track conditions after the restart.

"Jake is really, really good. He's a super good dude and a really good race-car driver," Martin said. "I knew if I slid across the race track and it wasn't there yet, he was gonna either drive by me on the bottom or run the top and drive around me, too. I wish I could have done something different.

"We just didn't get it done, but we should be pretty high in the points and start up front for the $10,000-to-win and that's what we're here for."

Sean McClelland finished third with Jace Park fourth and Miles Paulus fifth.

Schudy earns WAR Sprint win: Kory Schudy of Battlefield, Mo., took the lead with three laps remaining after race-long leader Xavier Doney had misfortune and Schudy held on from there for the POWRi WAR victory.

Doney set the early pace from his starting position on the pole. Action ground to a half when Riley Kreisel flipped his car down the front stretch after tangling with Landon Simon to bring out the red flag. Kreisel climbed out of the wrecked machine under his own power.

As action resumed, Wesley Smith moved into second on lap six with Doney leading him by just over a second with Blake Vermillion falling two seconds back of Smith. As the extended green-flag run continued, Doney stretched his margin to 2.5 seconds over Smith by lap 13.

As the leaders caught lapped traffic, Smith’s chances went up in smoke as his car rolled to a stop going down the backstretch on lap 14 with an expired motor. That elevated Samuel Wagner to second with Schudy third and Vermillion fourth with 11 to go. But before the race could go back to green, Wagner needed to pull into the pits to replace a flat tire.

Schudy took advantage of the restart to go around Doney on the inside for the lead on lap 15, but Doney quickly regained the top spot the next time around. Those two broke away from the field by seven seconds and appeared ready to battle it out for the win.

But with three to go, Doney suddenly slowed coming off turn two with Schudy, who was applying pressure, inheriting the lead. The resulting caution led to a three-lap shootout following the restart, with Doney and ninth-place Paul White part of a multi-car melee in turn one, rolling their cars, to bring out another red flag.

"It's been run racing with him, it seems like the last month we've been going back and forth," Schudy said of Doney. "He was way better than us at the start and I was kind of hung up in the slime. After one of those reds, we kind of got going. Once we got up on the top, that thing was lights out."

Schudy had a flawless final restart and drove away to finish 1.6 seconds in front of Matt Sherrell for the win.

"We've won a prelim night before and kind of choked on Saturday, so we're not gonna celebrate too much tonight," Schudy said of looking ahead to the big finale.

Sherrell had an impressive run, going from 19th to second to become the clear hard-charger of the race.

"This feels good," Sherrell said. "The start of the night, it wasn't going our way, but we rallied and came back. We fought a little bit in the B and just kept tuning on it the whole night. That was a lot of fun."

Vermillion finished third with Caleb Stelzig fourth and Rob Caho Jr. fifth.

NIENHISER GOES BACK-TO-BACK IN SCHUH MEMORIAL WITH MOWA SPRINTS

JACKSONVILLE, IL (September 15, 2023) Entering the weekend with momentum after a local 410 Sprint Car victory last Friday at the very place, Paul Nienhiser was chomping at the bit to score back-to-back victories with the MOWA Sprints in the annual running of the “Carolyn Schuh Memorial”. The Chapin, Illinois did exactly that by sweeping the night with a heat race victory and a $4,000 A-Main victory.

Nienhiser advanced forward from his third starting spot in heat race competition to bag the win over Josh Schneiderman and Preston Perlmutter, thus advancing into the nightly feature redraw, where he found the second-starting spot.

At the drop of the green in the 25-Lap affair, Nienhiser pounced from his second-starting spot to the bottom groove of the track in turn one, where he pulled a crossover mood on race pole sitter Zach Hampton. Nienhiser took early command of the field and quickly found lapped traffic. Hampton settled into the second spot, where he battled with Will Armitage who muscled around the top-side of the ¼-mile bullring and abruptly found himself at the heels of the #9X of Nienhiser.

A lengthy red-flag period for drivers Cory Bruns, Steven Russell and Van Gurley slowed the field with five laps remaining. Nienhiser continued to show the way but knew he had hard charging competitors in the likes of Armitage, Hampton and Shelby Bosie in tow.

Bringing the field back to life with only five laps left, Nienhiser never looked back as we went on to win his second straight “Carolyn Schuh Memorial” over Zach Hampton who made a late race pass around WIll Armitage, who finished third ahead of Shelby Bosie and Jake Blackhurst.

The Morrow Brothers Ford MOWA Sprint Cars now head north to Spoon River Speedway for the 36th-Annual Tom Knowles Memorial for the penultimate event of the 2023 season.

The finish:

1. 9X-Paul Nienhiser, 2. 35-Zach Hampton, 3. 7A-WIll Armitage, 4. 3B-Shelby Bosie, 5. 96-Jake Blackhurst, 6. 73-Scotty Thiel, 7. 22-Riley Goodno, 8. 52F-Logan Faucon, 9. 31-Zach Daum, 10. 42-Preston Perlmutter, 11. 9-Tyler Duff, 12. 37-Bryce Norris, 13. 49-Josh Schneiderman, 14. 29-Brayton Lynch, 15. 13 - Van Gurley, Jr. 16. 1JR-Steven Russell, 17. 8-Cory Bruns, 18. 83B-Jeff Beasley, 19. 10S-Jeremy Standridge, 20. 71M-Paul May, 21. 47-Korey Weyant, 22. 3N-Jake Neuman

Kory Schudy Successful in JHDMM Night Two Win with POWRi WAR

Belleville, IL. (9/15/23) Kory Schudy would establish a winning streak and capture the Jesse Hockett Daniel McMillin Memorial Preliminary Night Two feature victory at Lucas Oil Speedway to notch his eleventh career feature win with the POWRi Wingless Auto Racing Sprint League by leading the final six laps of the twenty-five lap feature event.

Initial on-track actions would witness Xavier Doney start quickest in qualifying hot laps with a 14.764-second lap as Kory Schudy, Xavier Doney, Blake Vermillion, and Wesley Smith would each earn heat racing wins with Rece Wommack pocketing the lone semi-feature victory. Xavier Doney would snag the nightly high-point qualifier award to earn the pole starting position.

Conflicting on the initial green flag start would find Xavier Doney battle against front-row companion Kory Schudy into the first pair of corners with Xavier Doney gaining the opening on-track advantage as Kory Schudy, Wesley Smith, Caleb Stelzig, and Blake Vermillion all ran inside the top-five while attempting to run down the speedy pacesetter in the early feature stages.

Showing the way and appearing to be a division of his own, Xavier Doney would pace the front of the pack after Wesley Smith would have an engine expire while running second with Caleb Stelzig, Kory Schudy, and Blake Vermillion all staying within striking distance.

Restarting with speed and intent, Xavier Doney would relinquish the lead after suffering tire issues taking him from the top-spot while Kory Schudy would overtake for the point position while holding off the steady attempts from Caleb Stelzig and Blake Vermillion.

Holding the point position for the final six revolutions would witness Kory Schudy secure the prized position and emerge victorious from with Matt Sherrell hard charging from starting nineteenth to placing runner-up with Blake Vermillion rounding out the final podium placements as the checkered flag waved.

“It’s been fun battling Doney for what seems like the last month and he was better at the start. The car really came into its own after I found the top with this new Patriot engine hooking up,” said Kory Schudy in the Lucas Oil Speedway victory lane.

Staying in the hunt for the front of the field all event, Caleb Stelzig would finish fourth with his engine expiring at the checkers as Minnesota wheelman Rob Caho Jr rounded out the top-five finishers in the POWRi Wingless Auto Racing Sprint League in the Night Two Jesse Hockett/Daniel McMillin Memorial at Lucas Oil Speedway.

Timms, Chapple earn feature wins on Night One of Hockett-McMillin Memorial at Lucas Oil Speedway

WHEATLAND, MO. (Sept. 14, 2023) - Oklahoma teen Ryan Timms earned a wire-to-wire victory in the ASCS Sprint Car portion on Night One of the 13th annual Jesse Hockett-Daniel McMillin Memorial at Lucas Oil Speedway.

Meanwhile, Indiana driver Isaac Chapple captured the POWRi WAR Sprint main event as the three-night crown jewel open-wheel event got underway.

Timms started on the pole and set the early pace with Blake Hahn giving chase in second and Jamie Ball in third. By lap five, the leader already had a 1.2-second lead and expanded that to 1.4 as he caught lapped traffic by lap 10.

That’s when a caution slowed the action for Chris Martin’s spin in turn four. After the restart, Timms moved to the high groove to open up a 1.1-second lead and, with a clear track in front of him, gradually built on the margin.

Timms was 2.2 seconds in front by lap 17, but once he caught lapped traffic it allowed Hahn to cut into the gap. The difference was one second by lap 20, but Timms had the checkers in sight when three cars tangled in turn four on the white-flag lap to bring out a caution.

The 17-year-old from Oklahoma City was up to the challenge of a green-white-checkered finish, holding off Hahn to become the ASCS Series’ 16th winner of the season. He finished 1.2 seconds clear of Hahn, of Sapulpa, Okla., with Ball in third, Derek Hagar fourth after starting 10th and Garet Williamson fifth.

"There at the beginning, I didn't really think it going to lay rubber," Timms said of the surface. "I thought I was going to be right around the bottom and didn't think it was gonna go away. I could hear Blake above me, three or four yellows in, so I figured it was time to move up there.

"When I got up there I started smelling rubber and I was kind of free, so I trunked the wing. It was really good, then I started getting really tight so I switched it back forward and we were able to put it in victory lane.

"This gives me a lot of confidence going into Saturday night. It's really cool to win a Jesse Hockett prelim night with how much this race means to everyone, and me. Hopefully we can do the same Saturday."

Hahn, a former Hockett-McMillin final-night winner, said it was a solid run for him but not good enough to track down Timms.

"Ryan did a really good job there and had a really good car," Hahn said. "We made some good moves toward the end of the race when the track started getting one lane. To be able to start the weekend like this is a good start. Hopefully we can be one step better on Saturday."

Williamson set fast qualifying time of 13.549 seconds, a track record for the ASCS Series. Williamson also set an overall Lucas Oil Speedway track record last month in a POWRi 410 Sprint show at the speedway with a time of 12.998. He went on to win the feature that night.

Chapple roars to POWRi WAR win: Isaac Chapple of Willow Branch, Ind., took over the lead on lap four and went on to win the POWRi WAR Sprint feature and $2,000. It was Chappel's first POWRi win.

"It's special," Chapple said of winning a feature in an event named in memory of Hockett. "We've had this one circled all year. We watched Jesse Hockett when I was a little kid."

Mario Clouser moved from fourth at the start into the lead on lap one, edging in front of pole-starting Burks by a few feet at the start-finish line. Clouser held the top spot until lap four when Chapple, who began fifth, took the lead coming off turn four.

Following a lap-five caution, Chapple and Clouser separated from third-place Rylan Gray by just over a second. Gray would work his way into the mix by lap 15, along with Casey Shuman and Ricky Lewis in fourth and fifth.

Chapple soon opened his biggest lead of the race, nearly a second over Clouser by lap 18. He took it to the finish from there, beating a late-charging Clouser by .487 seconds at the finish.

"I watched them rework the track and it really looked like the bottom was gonna be the place to be," Chapple said. "We were a little snug early. It was a bit of a handful just to keep the wheels down. Luckily I was the first guy to kind of find it down there and shoot to the lead before too many other guys did.

"I started slowing down at the end. I was struggling to catch the lappers and it looked like Mario pulled beside me with about two to go. Luckily I just slowed down a little bit and did what I needed to do the last lap."

Gray finished third with Burks fourth and Shuman fifth.

Action continues Friday night: The ASCS Sprints again run for $3,000-to-win on Friday night with the WAR Springs chasing $2,000-to-win. Drivers earn points each time they hit the track Thursday and Friday nights to help determine their starting position for the final night.

The finales on Saturday night, following last-chance qualifiers and B-Mains will be $10,000 for the ASCS winner and $4,077 for the WAR first-place finisher.

Pit gates open at 4 p.m. with grandstands at 5, hot laps at 6 and racing at 7:05 on Friday. For the final day on Saturday, pit gates open at 3 and grandstands at 4 with hot laps at 5:30 and racing at 6:35.

Isaac Chapple Captures Checkers in JHDMM Night One Win with POWRi WAR

Belleville, IL. (9/14/23) Isaac Chapple would perfect the mid-to-low line to capture the Jesse Hockett Daniel McMillin Memorial Night One feature victory at Lucas Oil Speedway to notch his first career feature win with the POWRi Wingless Auto Racing Sprint League by leading twenty-two of the twenty-five-lap feature event.

Initial on-track actions would witness Wyatt Burks start quickest in qualifying hot laps with a 14.662-second lap as Jack Wagner, Ricky Lewis, Rylan Gray, and Wyatt Burks would each earn heat racing wins with Anthony Nicholson pocketing the lone semi-feature victory. Wyatt Burks would snag the nightly high-point qualifier award to earn the pole starting position.

Opposing on the initial green flag start would find Wyatt Burks battle against front-row companion Ricky Lewis into the first pair of corners with outside row-two starter Mario Clouser squeezing through to gain the opening on-track advantage as Wyatt Burks, Ricky Lewis, Rylan Gray, and Casey Shuman all ran inside the top-five while attempting to run down the speedy pacesetter.

Overtaking for the lead by using a daring low-to-mid maneuver on lap four, Isaac Chapple would shoot to the front of the field with Mario Clouser holding steady in the runner-up positioning with Rylan Gray grabbing the third spot as Ricky Lewis and Casey Shuman would begin a spirited battle to round out the running top-five.

Holding the point position for the final twenty-two revolutions would witness Isaac Chapple protect the lead and emerge victorious from the hard-fought efforts of Mario Clouser and Rylan Gray that rounded out the final podium placements as the checkered flag waved.

“This one is very special to me, I watched the track crew rework the low line during Intermission so I came out with a plan. I was way too tight to begin with and a little slow at the end but was able to hold off Mario after he showed me the outside” said the celebratory Isaac Chapple in the Lucas Oil Speedway victory lane.

High-point qualifier Wyatt Burks would finish fourth as Casey Shuman rounded out the top-five finishers in the POWRi Wingless Auto Racing Sprint League in the Night One Jesse Hockett/Daniel McMillin Memorial at Lucas Oil Speedway.

DALE BLANEY BEATS BROTHER DAVE FOR 20TH CAREER SHARON "410" SPRINT CAR WIN; WILL THOMAS III WINS A THRILLING 1ST CAREER BIG-BLOCK MOD FEATURE; CHAD RUHLMAN (RUSH SPRINTS), AYDEN CIPRIANO (RUSH MODS) & JEREMY DOUBLE (ECONO MODS) ADD TO WIN TOTALS

September 9, 2023

By Mike Leone

(Hartford, OH)…While just about every track to the east rained out, Sharon Speedway was blessed with a dry day on Saturday as night two of the "Apple Festival Nationals" presented by Stackhouse Construction was completed. Fans were treated to excellent racing as the following drivers celebrated in the Hovis Auto & Truck Supply victory lane: Dale Blaney-Hovis Auto & Truck Supply "410" Sprint Cars, Will Thomas III-Hovis Auto & Truck Supply Big-Block Modifieds, Chad Ruhlman-Terry Bowser Excavating RUSH Sprint Cars, Ayden Cipriano-HTMA/Precise Racing Products RUSH Sportsman Modifieds, and Jeremy Double-Whelen Econo Mods. There were 113 cars in the pit area as 147 participated in the seven divisions over the two nights.

Just when it appeared Dale Blaney's hall of fame career may be coming to a close, the 59-year-old has had a rejuvenating season aboard Tiger Barris' #32B. After winning two features earlier this season at Sharon in addition to a $6,300 recent victory at Clinton County Speedway, the hometown racer passed Dan Kuriger on lap seven and kept his brother Dave at bay to win Saturday night's 30-lap "410" Sprint Car feature. The victory was milestone Sharon win #20 for the youngest of the Blaney brothers and was worth $3,000 in the final tune-up before the September 23 World of Outlaws event.

"I didn't know how close Dave (Blaney) was when the yellow came out on lap 15," explained the Hartford, Ohio winner. "I was kind of up through the middle a little bit. I figured it was time to get to where I needed to be. I had an idea where he was running, but didn't know for sure. I beat it off the wall in turn four a bit. That didn't help me at all, but it made me move to the middle a little bit. It didn't feel the same; I felt like I was rolled over and maybe I had my wing too far back. I got it done and it's awesome. Leah, Hayden and the grandkids are here so it makes it pretty cool to win a race with them here. We've made great strides with this new car and I can't thank Tiger, Tyler, and Scooter enough for the opportunity to run it."

Kuriger sped off into the early lead over Brandon Matus, while sixth starting Dale Blaney was halfway to the front after the opening lap. Dale Blaney would pass Matus for second on lap three and faced a 2.522 second deficit, while seventh starting Dave Blaney followed in third on lap four. Dale Blaney quickly tracked down Kuriger and used a slider in turn four on lap seven for what would be the winning pass.

The top three began to distance themselves from the field when lapped traffic came into play on lap nine. Dave Blaney ducked under Kuriger for second on lap 11. A pair of cautions slowed action at the halfway point; one for veteran Andy Priest and the other for rookie Dusty Larson.

When racing resumed, Dale was able to maintain his lead over Dave. Lapped traffic came into play again on lap 21. Dave closed in on lap 24, but was never able to get close enough to make a bid at the lead. In fact, Dale was able to pull away in the closing laps and took the checkered flag first by a commanding 3.340 seconds in the Barris Truck Service/Atwell-Perrine Excavating/Top Shelf Trucking-sponsored #32B.

After dropping to eighth early on, George Hobaugh came on strong to finish third after getting by Kuriger on lap 29. A.J. Flick also snuck by Kuriger on the final lap for fourth. Kuriger dropped to fifth after running in the top three for the first 28 laps. Jeremy Weaver was sixth. Matus dropped to seventh after starting on the pole. Adam Kekich was eighth. After mechanical woes in qualifying set Bob Felmlee back, the 61-year-old charged from 17th to 9th in the feature. Jeremy Kornbau completed the top 10 after starting 18th. Cody Bova set fast time overall against the 29-car field in qualifying with a lap of 15.250. Heat winners were Matus, Flick, and Dave Blaney, while Jacob Begenwald won the last chance B main in his first Sharon "410" start.

In the race of the night, Will Thomas III captured his first career Big-Block Modified feature win by out-dueling teammate Garrett Krummert in the 25 lapper. Thomas, who had dropped back to seventh on lap nine, came charging forward and passed Dave Murdick for the lead on lap 15. Thomas earned $2,500, but more impressively was his milestone 30th career Sharon win, which have come in five different divisions!

"This is great- I love coming to Sharon Speedway," expressed the 47-year-old Sharpsville, Pa. resident. "Most people don't know when we fired it to put heat in it the fuel pump went out. I have to thank Uncle Denny and Tommy for being here with me, Jeremy Holbrook and Jamie helped change the fuel pump; Garrett Krummert, Russ King were there. That's what racing is about. All of the guys I was going to race the hardest with to win were there helping. Garrett and I work together- he's a great friend of mine. There's no way he'd ever let me win nor would I ever let him win. We've struggled in these cars over the years. I sold the Econo Mod this week and am going to focus on this so it feels really good to get a win in it."

Steve Feder led the first seven laps withstanding Murdick's challenges, but would lose the lead on a restart on lap eight to his fellow Butler, Pa. counterpart. Krummert started in seventh and worked his way forward into second on lap 10. Krummert was all over Murdick on laps 10-12 before a caution for Ayden Cipriano, who smacked the fence with 12 laps completed.

When racing resumed on lap 13, Thomas, who started fourth before fading to seventh, made his move to grab second. It was a four-car race for the lead on lap 15 between Murdick, Thomas, Krummert, and 11th starting Rex King, Jr. Thomas made the winning move when he snuck under Murdick with 10 laps to go, while Krummert followed in second one lap later.

While King would take third from Murdick on lap 18, the top two of Thomas and Krummert pulled away. Thomas and Krummert battled the rest of the way even running side-by-side. Krummert kept trying to get runs off the top, but Thomas had just enough to hold on by just 0.224 seconds in his Colonial Companies/Hallman Originals-sponsored #9. Thomas' 30 career wins are made up of 15 in the RUSH Late Models, 9 in the Econo Mods, 4 in the UMP Mods, 1 in the Pro Stocks, and now 1 in the Big-Block Modifieds. The only division Thomas has competed in at Sharon that he hasn't been victorious in was the RUSH Sportsman Modifieds.

Krummert earned $1,500 for second, while King pocketed $1,000 for third. Brad Rapp went 15th to 4th to earn the $100 Summit Racing Equipment Hard Charger gift card. Murdick dropped to fifth after leading laps 8-14. Chas Wolbert was sixth over New York invader Marshall Hurd in his first ever appearance. Feder faded to eighth after leading the first seven laps. Jim Rasey was ninth as Rick Regalski, Jr. completed the top 10. Friday night's heat race winners were Thomas and Murdick.

After Blaze Myers stopped Chad Ruhlman's four-race win streak in the RUSH Sprint Cars at the last event, it appeared John Mollick may etch his name in the division's win list for the first time at Sharon. Ruhlman though had other ideas. Ruhlman fended off Arnie Kent's challenges for second then snuck around Mollick off turn four on lap 14 for the winning move in the 20-lap Terry Bowser Excavating feature. Ruhlman earned $1,000 for his milestone 50th career Series win with 14 of them coming at Sharon, and also clinched his fifth $5,000 RUSH Sunbelt Rentals Weekly Series Championship in six years.

"This whole championship thing has been eating at me so I figured I'd just win and put it in the bag so that's another one for this team so now we can just go racing and have fun the rest of the year," expressed the 46-year-old veteran. "That was a little stressful. There was only about four inches of cushion, but I mustered up the energy to do it. It was another great night here. The track was just impeccable- what a ball to run this place. I don't have the self control to do the bottom here. It looks fun; Mollick and Fraley are super fast on the bottom."

It was three-wide for the lead on the opening lap between Ryan Fraley, Ruhlman and Mollick with Fraley taking the early advantage. Fraley led the first two circuits before fourth starting Mollick took charge. Ruhlman drove around Fraley for second on lap seven. Myers was on the charge on the outside, but got into fence to bring out the caution with eight laps completed.

Back under green, Kent was on the move from 14th as he was running the middle and took third from Fraley. It was a three-car race for the lead. Kent nearly had Ruhlman passed on a couple occasions, but Mollick blocked Kent's advances, which allowed Ruhlman to maintain second. Ruhlman didn't give up on the outside and finally made it work with six laps to go. Ruhlman took the checkered flag first in the Tim Engles-owned, Dirt Road Logistics/LINC Products/Billy @ Suppa Racing/Dynamic Machine/Cre8ions by Maddie-sponsored #68 by 0.492 seconds to win the richest RUSH Sprint Car race at Sharon in the six-year history of the division.

Tenth starting Bill Cunningham snuck by Kent on lap 16 to finish third, which was his first career top five in the division! Cunningham's prior best finishes were a pair of sevenths this season. Kent was fourth. Brian Cressley went 15th to 5th. Fraley dropped to sixth after leading the first two laps. Zach Morrow was seventh. Charlie Utisnger started 13th and finished a career best 8th as Zack Wilson and Gale Ruth, Jr. completed the top 10. Friday night's heat race winners were Mollick and Myers over the 20-car field.

Ayden Cipriano stole a first career Sharon win away from Doug Rutana by passing the race-long leader in lapped traffic on lap 18 to win an exciting 20-lap HTMA/Precise Racing Products RUSH Sportsman Modified feature. Cipriano earned $800 for his third win of the season.

"I saw lapped traffic coming and knew it was going to get congested on the backstretch," explained the 17-year-old Hermitage, Pa. racer. "I was hoping no one would slide up into my line and I'd be able to get around JC (Boyer) and Doug (Rutana). I'm glad we could come out and get it done. After the first couple laps, I felt like the track was coming in so that helped out a lot, but the car was really good tonight. I can't thank Russ King and everyone else enough that works on it because they can't do a better job."

Rutana used the outside to take the early lead from pole-sitter Bill Cunningham. JC Boyer moved past Cunningham for second on lap two, while fourth starting Cipriano followed in third on lap three. The top three of Rutana, Boyer, and Cipriano pulled away by lap six. Sixth starting Ben Easler joined the battle making it a four-car race for the lead on lap 13. Rutana and Boyer were running the bottom, while Cipriano was ripping the fence. Lapped traffic came into play on lap 16 and that would benefit Cipriano. Cipriano made the pass of Boyer for second on lap 17 and one lap later made the right moves in traffic for the winning move on Rutana.

Easler made a three-wide pass to grab second on lap 19, but it was too little too late as Cipriano powered on by 1.844 seconds at the finish. Cipriano's fifth career win came in the William Cipriano-owned, Wheatland Steel Processing/Novus Mortgage of Hermitage/Rudy's Tavern/RKR/Fin & Bear It/Stainless Steel Engineering/Grossman's Garage-sponsored #5c.

Easler's second place was important as he was able to hold on to win his second straight Wedge Motorsports "Route 7 Rumble" Series Championship by just two points over Cipriano! Boyer got by Rutana on the last lap for third. Rutana dropped to a disappointing fourth after leading the first 17 laps. Brandon Ritchey went eighth to fifth for his second straight top five finish. Kole Holden, Jacob Rutana, Jordan Ehrenberg, Rob Kristyak, and 15th starting Chelsie Kriegisch completed the top 10. Easler, Kristyak, and Cipriano won Friday night's heat races over the 25-car field. For the third time in the past five events there were 25 or more cars.

Jeremy Double brought down the curtain on the 2023 "Apple Festival Nationals" by leading all 20 laps of the Whelen Econo Mod feature. Double's third victory of the season was worth $800 as he tied Brandon Blackshear as the division's all-time winningest driver with 21 victories.

"It's cool to finally get there but part of me thinks it's overdue," stated the 27-year-old Bristolville, Ohio driver. "Hopefully we can get one more in two weeks and pass the total up. I just made sure I hit my marks and stayed on the bottom. I was getting a little tight in the center, but I knew as long as I could keep rolling pretty well down there the middle and outside was going to be tough to pass."

The front row starters of Double and Garrett Calvert pulled away from the field on lap three. Calvert though exited the event on lap five moving Zack Eller into second. After a caution with six laps completed, Josalyn Hibbard overtook Eller for second. Four more cautions over the next five laps slowed action before the final nine went green-to-checkered.

When green replaced yellow on lap 12, sixth starting Jacob Eucker overtook Hibbard for second. Eucker though was unable to challenge Double who took the checkered flag first by a margin of 2.275 seconds in the T-N-T Motorsports LLC-owned, Malone Diesel/Competition Products/Bala Management-sponsored, Elite Chassis #83. After not winning since May 27, Double has now won two straight and will look for a third on September 23 to try and become the division's all-time winner.

Andy Buckley matched his best finish of the season from May 27 in third after starting seventh and getting by Hibbard on lap 15. Hibbard, a Tyler County (WV) Speedway regular, was fourth in her first ever Sharon Econo Mod start. Eller was fifth also in his first ever Sharon start. Bryan Wagner was sixth over Gary Sullivan. Dennis Dellinger went 21st to 8th. Jacob McConnell, another newcomer to Sharon, was 9th after starting 17th. Don Watson completed the top 10. Friday night's heat race winners were Double and Calvert over the 22-car field.

There will be no racing next weekend. The final event of the 2023 season will be Saturday, September 23 as the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Cars return for $10,000 to-win and will be joined by the Whelen Econo Mods.

Starks, Klatt and Smith Victorious at Skagit Speedway

9/9/23

Alger, WA - On the final night before Season Championship Night next week, three drivers stood tall in victory lane at Skagit Speedway after an intense night of racing.

Cam Smith set out to the early lead in the 360 Sprint main event with Trey Starks right on his tail tank. The pair had an incredible race in front of the pack, with Smith forcing Starks to keep trying different lines around the racey surface to try and find his way by. Starks finally found the right combination on lap 18, powering by Smith on the low side of the track in turn two in what was the race winning pass. Unfortunately for Smith, his great run ended one lap later with a flip in turn two that also collected third place running Chase Goetz. When the race resumed, it was Starks leading the rest of the way for the victory, with Colton Heath and Jordi Meese rounding out the podium. Starks was fast time. Smith won his heat race and the dash. Goetz won the other heat race.

In the Sportsman Sprints, Jesson Jacobson led the first lap of the main, but Levi Klatt zoomed into the top spot on lap two and would go the rest of the way to take the win and completely tighten up the point battle for the championship heading into the final week. Jacobson ran a strong second while Steve Vague brought his car home in third. Steve Parker set fast time. Klatt, Eric Fisher and Jacobson were the heat race winners.

Drama was all over the place in the final stages of the Skagit Aggregates Modifieds main event. With the cars going topless for the first time, Tyson Blood dominated the feature and looked poised to pickup another Skagit Speedway win. Chris Beaulieu had picked his way through the field and as the race got late, found himself in second place and running down Blood. Coming into turn three on the final lap, Beaulieu got into the back of Blood, with Tyson looping the car and collecting third place running Adam Holtrop in the process. Beaulieu was sent to the pits, completely rewriting the top three of the race with Austin Smith now in the top spot and his uncle, former track champion Kevin Smith, directly behind him. With a green-white-checkered restart on hand, it was old age and treachery winning out over youth and exuberance as Kevin found a path underneath Austin and led the final two laps for the win. For Austin, it was a career best second place, and third place running Cory Gordon also collected a career best result. Blood, Kevin Smith and Geoff Morris won the heats.

DRAKE EDWARDS STRIKES BLACK GOLD WITH INAUGURAL BAKERSFIELD WMR WIN

BAKERSFIELD, CALIFORNIA (September 9, 2023) – Surprise, Ariz.’s Drake Edwards won his fifth points paying Western Midget Racing race of the 2023 season by striking black gold in the inaugural series race at Bakersfield Speedway on Saturday night. The victory was also Edwards’ third in the last four races.

Edwards and Joey Klemish of Cortez, Colorado split the eight lap heat races with 13 Midgets on hand. They shared the second row for the feature after a four-car invert. Linley, New York’s Darin Horton and Logan Mitchell of Santa Cruz were the front row starters for the 25-lap main event.

Klemish made a strong maneuver on the inside in turn four to lead the opening lap in his first career series start. Edwards and points leader Bryant Bell of Oakley battled side-by-side in turn two before banging wheels, sending Bell onto his side for a red flag on lap three. Bell was able to rejoin the action at the rear of the field.

Edwards equaled Klemish’s move, driving inside of turn four to nab the lead himself on lap six. Edwards built up a sizeable 3.58 second lead at the checkered flag for the coveted win.

Klemish debuted well in second place with Nate Wait of Lodi finishing third. Second in points Logan Mitchell of Santa Cruz kept a resurgent Bell at bay in the battle for fourth, gaining two points in the championship battle. Bell will have just an eight-point advantage on Mitchell with two races remaining in the series. Folsom’s Jerry Kobza won a four-car battle for sixth as well.

Mohave Valley Raceway on September 30 and Ventura Raceway on October 21 are the final races for the 2023 Western Midget Racing championship series. For more information visit www.WesternMidgetRacing.com

Weyant outruns Nienhiser, grabs Macon MOWA Victory

MACON, IL (September 9, 2023) Four months after returning to Victory Lane with Morrow Brothers Ford MOWA Sprint Car Series, Springfield, Illinois driver Korey Weyant added his name to the list of winners at Macon Speedway with his fourth-career series victory. A perfect night for the driver of the Samonds Racing number 47 entry was also a bittersweet night for the team.

Saturday’s victory was the first race held for the MOWA Sprints not won by Zach Daum dating back to 2019. The winner of the 2019 event? The late Terry Babb, of nearby Decatur, Illinois. Babb’s back-to-back victories at Macon came aboard the same number 47 entry driven by Korey Weyant.

A heat race win for Weyant punched his ticket to the redraw, where he found the number three pill, rolling off from the inside of the second row. By lap five, Weyant had found his rhythm and moved past polesitter Shelby Bosie and pulled ahead to a comfortable lead. A caution at lap 14 slowed the field and erased Weyant’s lead. 8th-starting Paul Nienhiser had quickly worked forward through the field of cars and had his sights set on Weyant. Returning to green flag conditions, Weyant muscled ahead over Nienhiser, and answered back to the attempts by the #9X machine to overtake the top spot.

Working the 20th-circuit, Nienhiser slid past Weyant on the exit of turn two but a caution for Ben Brown, slowed the field and reverted back to the last completed lap, giving the lead back to Korey Weyant with just five laps remaining. Weyant held serve over the field over Nienhiser and Joe B. Miller in third. Previous race winner Zach Daum, who had started in fourth was running fifth when he spun around on lap 22, slowing the field once more, and ultimately ending his chance for a fourth-straight win at the ⅕-mile oval.

A three lap shootout was going to be the deciding factor for the 25-lap affair. As the green flag fell over the field, Weyant powered ahead while Nienhiser chased, but was never able to overtake the position as he settled for second behind winner Korey Weyant. Joe B. Miller, Jake Neuman and Shelby Bosie completed the top five.

The Morrow Brothers Ford MOWA Sprint Car Series looks forward to a two-day double header weekend in Central Illinois, beginning next Friday with the Carolyn Schuh Memorial at Jacksonville Speedway before heading to Spoon River Speedway for the 36th Annual Tom Knowles Memorial.

The finish: 1. 47-Korey Weyant, 2. 9X-Paul Nienhiser, 3. 51B-Joe B. Miller, 4. 3N-Jake Neuman, 5. 3B-Shelby Bosie, 6. 1JR-Steven Russell, 7. 96-Jake Blackhurst, 8. 10S-Jeremy Standridge, 9. 7A-Will Armitage, 10. 56-Mitchell Davis, 11. 33$-Shane O’Banion, 12. 2-Hayden Harvey, 13. ?-Robbie Standridge, 14. 00R-Patrick Ryan, 15. 31-Zach Daum, 16. 37-Bryce Norris, 17. 7B-Ben Brown, 18. 1T-Trevin Littleton, 19. 14M-Jordan Masson, 20. 8-Cory Bruns

Henry takes Fremont win and AFCS title; Ivy scores 305 victory and Weaver earns AFCS title; Miller tames trucks

Sunday, Sept. 10, 2023

By Brian Liskai

FREMONT, Ohio – Cap Henry put an exclamation point on his second championship of All Pro Aluminum Cylinder Heads/Kistler Racing Products Attica Fremont Championship Series presented by the Baumann Auto Group, leading all 30 laps for a $5,000 payday at Fremont Speedway Saturday, Sept. 9.

The previous night the Republic, Ohio driver scored his second Attica Raceway Park 410 sprint title as he now closes the gap to possibly also win the Fremont Speedway division championship. Henry survived a late race caution Saturday on Baumann Auto Group Night to earn his fifth victory of the season at Fremont, his 10th overall feature win of 2023. It is his 17th career Fremont win.

“Honestly this is incredible. I couldn’t have imagined this when Jeff (Ward) and Gary (Griffith) agreed to hire us in the off-season. You always want to win races and that’s what motivates me. We had a really good 2020 (won Attica and AFCS championships) and I just wanted to prove we could do that again. Zack and Gary and Chris and Chad and Jeff…so proud of everyone involved in this. To come out here and win this many races….it takes a really good team and I’m so proud of my guys. I’m so proud of our families. The wives and girlfriends give up something so that we can do this,” said Henry beside his Jeff Ward Demolition, Elliott’s Custom Trailers and Carts, Premier Planning Services, Tony Elliott Foundation, Primal Tee Shop, SCS Gear Box, Napa of Fremont backed No. 33W.

John Ivy, a former 410, 305 and dirt truck champion at Fremont, has been knocking on the door as of late for a feature win. Ivy led all 25 laps of the Fremont Federal Credit Union 305 Sprint A-main to claim his 61st career win at the track. It wasn’t easy as Kasey Ziebold pressure Ivy in lapped traffic until a caution flew with just two laps to go. Ivy sits fifth on the track’s all-time win list

“It’s been a couple of years since we won here. This takes a whole bunch of weight off our backs. I still think I can do it but we haven’t showed that the last few years so we figured we would take a step back and see if we could at least be competitive again and have some fun. We’ve been slowly picking away at it and getting consistent. Charlie has come on board and Andy has been doing a great job and my brother and Ronnie. They haven’t given up on me so I can’t give up on them,” said Ivy beside his C&N Construction Supplies, Atkinson Farm, Pub 400, Fox Painting, Sonny’s Machine & Welding, Kistler Racing Products, Level Performance, Rohr Total Lawn Care, Level Utilities, SC Atkinson Farms, MRE of Ohio, Welty Financial Services, Dave Story Equipment & Repair, Napa of Bryan, Minich Installations backed No. 49i.

Paul Weaver seemed to have the NAPA of Bryan Attica Fremont Championship Series presented by Jason Dietsch Trailer Sales locked up with 10 laps to go as he was running third. But, Weaver had a tire going down and his top wing collapsed but the Fremont, Ohio driver was able to hold on for a 20th place finish and edged Jamie Miller by a mere six points for his fourth straight AFCS championship.

“The bolts fell out of the wing. I knew I had a tire going down but I didn’t know about the wing. The harder I ran to try and keep air in the tire, the worst it got. This helps pay the bills at the end of the year. I have to thank Daniel and my wife, Bob Hampshire, Steve Brown and all my sponsors. If it wasn’t for all of them I couldn’t do this,” said Weaver.

Miller survived a last lap mechanical issue with his dirt truck to claim his third Burmeister Trophy Dirt Truck A-main of 2023. Miller now has 43 career wins at Fremont.

“The thing broke on the last lap. I lost all my brakes and it didn’t want to turn….don’t know how I could win,” said Miller of his Jamie Miller Trucking, Fostoria Mod Shop backed No. 4M.

Fremont Speedway will be back in action Friday and Saturday, Sept. 15 and 16 for the Jim and Joanne Ford Classic featuring the Tezos All Star Circuit of Champions. The dirt trucks will be in action as well on Friday and the 305 sprints will be on the racing card for Saturday.

Story book ending for Byron Reed at Attica; Markham earns late model win; Jedrzejek takes last minute 305 ride to victory; Henry, Shiels, Miller track champs

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Friday, Sept. 8, 2023

By Brian Liskai

ATTICA, Ohio – It was like an ending to a Hollywood movie or a romantic novel. Byron Reed, in his final appearance at Attica Raceway Park after 34 years of racing, led all 30 laps of the 410 sprint feature. The eight time Attica track champion recorded his 44th career win in the Kistler Racing Products/Jon Wright’s Custom Chrome Plating/Baumann Auto Group/Columbus Equipment/Central Ohio Farmers presents the Mark Keegan Classic to put an emotional exclamation point on the track’s final race of 2023.

Ironically, Reed finished second on the track’s Callie’s Performance Products 410 Sprint all-time win list behind Keegan. The pair combine for 100 career sprint wins at Attica. Reed finished second in the track’s 2023 final point standings as well, behind Republic, Ohio’s Cap Henry who wrapped up his second track title.

“Started on the pole but I did pass some cars…it was a good win. It’s Attic, a local track, but we got guys that can win nationwide and you can’t afford to make any mistakes. I knew I had to race the lapped cars just like it was for position. It’s been since 2019 that I’ve been in victory lane. We’ve been really good here this year…just missing it by just a little bit. It’s Mark Keegan Night and I have to thank him. We slapped the wall last week and bent the rear-end pretty bad and I really wanted this rear-end back this weekend and he and Mikey got it done for me,” said Reed beside his Crown Battery backed #5.

“I really wanted this bad for my guys. We’re family and Kurt (Brewer) and I shared a lot of stuff…a lot of personal stuff so I wanted it real bad for them. For my mom and dad…he’d have been mad that we had to have Keegan fix the rear-end because we should have had another one ready to go. We said he was cussing us out in the shop. I have to thank all the fans…all these years. Driving down this horse track after you win a race and all the fans cheering…it does something to me. I’ll miss that,” said an emotional Reed.

Henry, who picked up the Attica 2020 track title, could wrap up his second All Pro Aluminum Cylinder Heads/Kistler Racing Products Attica Fremont Championship Series presented by the Baumann Auto Group title Saturday, Sept. 9 at Fremont Speedway as well as he has a pretty commanding lead over Reed in the series standings. It would be quite an accomplishment considering he joined a new team in Jeff Ward Racing this year.

“It shows that everybody that got involved in the off-season…Jeff kind of let us do what we needed to do. He had a lot of really good equipment already. Gary Griffith did a lot with the engine program and just kept working on it. Zack (Myers) obviously does a good job every week and Chad and Chris Wilson have been awesome help. All our great marketing partners, Elliott’s Custom Trailers, Tony Elliott Foundation, Primal T Shop, Elite Wings, Maxim Racing, Griff’s Engines, FK Rod Ends, King Racing Products, Berryman Racing Shocks, Premier Planning Services…everyone that makes this happen,” said Henry.

Former Attica track champion ‘Flyin’ Ryan Markham of Ashland, Ohio, held off many challenges from five-time track champion Ryan Missler to score his second Dirt Nerds Podcast Powered by Propane UMP Late Model feature win. Markham sliced through lapped traffic while holding off the Missler challenges in the non-stop 25 lap affair for his 23rd career Attica win.

“That lapped car on the last lap was there taking it to the top and I wasn’t going to get knocked off the outside so I just put it in there. My average starting spot here is eighth this season so when you’re coming from that far back every night it’s tough,” said Markham beside his B&B Drain Service, Beer Barrel Drive Thru, Accu Force, Tru Form Race Products, Mars Trucking, Macto Tools by Jimmy, Kevin Hills Schaeffers Oil, Monster Motors backed No. 5M.

A fifth place finished wrapped up a fifth late model track title for Britton, Michigan’s Devin Shiels. It’s his fourth straight championship at Attica.

“When I got out there and we got racing it didn’t dawn on me that I could blow it at any moment. This car has been really, really good. We went away from it at the beginning of the year and we struggled and we went back to it. I kicked my son out of the car and switched bodies and the car felt just like home. It never fails,” said Shiels.

Lagrange, Ohio’s Kasey Jedrzejek was supposed to drive a 410 sprint at Attica Friday, but team suffered an issue with the trailer. Jim Taddeo at the last minute stepped up and offered his 305 sprint car to the teen and it paid off. Jedrzejek took the lead from Brendon Torok on lap six and drove away for his third win of the year in the Fremont Fence 305 Sprints. It was his fourth career win at Attica.

“I have to thank Jimmy Taddeo for allowing me to drive his car. I wasn’t expecting to be here tonight but it feels good. I was a little disappointed when I got here I was told we weren’t going to be racing and I was like alright, my cousin was racing a 305 for the first time so I was going to just hang out and help him out. Deny called me and said we could run Taddeo’s car and I was like why not so he ran home and got the seat and we bolted it in just in time,” said Jedrzejek beside the Greber Race Products, Jon Wright’s Custom Chrome Plating, A+ Creations, Amherst Auto Body backed No. 4T.

Fremont, Ohio’s Jamie Miller’s third place showing in the 25-lap feature that saw only one caution, was good enough to wrap up his fourth 305 track championship (2005, 2019, 2021 and 2023). His podium finish coupled with Paul Weaver’s 11th place finish really tightens the race for the NAPA of Bryan Attica Fremont Championship Series presented by Jason Dietsch Trailer Sales title heading into Saturday at Fremont Speedway.

“This is awesome. Hats off to my team. They bust their butts every week to get this car ready and all our sponsors….if not for them we couldn’t come out here and have fun,” said Miller.

Shane Golobic goes back-to-back at the Pacific Sprint Cup in Chico

By Gary Thomas

Chico, CA…So far this season Shane Golobic has been on a mission at Silver Dollar Speedway and that continued Wednesday night when the reigning track champion captured the SCCT sanctioned Pacific Sprint Cup for the second straight year.

Golobic made the winning move past Andy Forsberg on lap six and held off all challengers working lapped traffic to perfection. It marked his 13th career Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour presented by Abreu Vineyards triumph, which ranks number one all-time.

Andy Forsberg led the field to green after winning the High Sierra Industries Dash and held command early on. A few stoppages occurred early but after a lap three restart the remainder went green to checkered.

Golobic hounded Forsberg looking to find a way by and got to his inside with six laps complete. After that Golobic worked traffic well but had to hit his marks as Forsberg closed in on numerous occasions.

As he always does, Golobic never faltered and accepted the checkered flag for victory over Forsberg and Lincoln’s Tanner Carrick who rounded out the podium. It was Golobic’s fourth win in five races at Silver Dollar Speedway this season.

Penngrove’s Chase Johnson crossed the stripe in fourth with Garth Moore Insurance Rookie of the Year leader Chance Grasty putting together an impressive run in fifth. Elk Grove’s Kyle Larson ran sixth, followed by Pit Stop USA Hard Charger Shane Hopkins, who stormed through the field from 22nd to seventh.

Tucson, Arizona’s Nick Parker, Aromas’ Justin Sanders and 23rd starter Jonathan Allard completed the top-10.

A total of 55 cars competed on opening night of the 69th Gold Cup Race of Champions. Kyle Larson opened the night by earning the Sierra Foothills Wine Services Fast Time Award with a lap of 11.788 around the quarter mile.

The Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour presented by Abreu Vineyards returns to action during the 12th running of the Adobe Cup at Petaluma Speedway on September 23rd.

BILLINGS AND HENNESSY SCORE LABOUR DAY CLASSIC AST WINS AT BRIGHTON

Article Credit: Brighton Speedway and Action Sprint Tour Media

BRIGHTON, Ont. (September 3, 2023) – The Labour Day Sprint Car Classic lived up to its ‘Classic’ name this weekend at Brighton Speedway. A record number of race teams filled the pit area for the two-day annual event, thrilling the fans in the packed grandstands with blazing speed and classic finishes.

Local fans erupted when Picton racer Andrew Hennessy won Sunday’s Action Sprint Tour feature event, while Eastern Ontario was well represented with Brockville’s Matt Billings winning Saturday night’s AST feature.

Series veteran Brian Nanticoke from Ohsweken, Ontario, jumped to an early lead on Saturday night, but Matt Billings wasted little time advancing from his third starting position to assert his position in the lead. Billings held off all challengers in a race rarely slowed with accidents, holding off local standout Adam Turner and Quebec racer Mathieu Bardier at the finish line.

Sunday night saw a pair of firsts, with Hennessy scoring the popular win and Ashton VanEvery taking his first career podium finish. Billings, Austin Roes, and Lee Ladouceur rounded out Sunday’s top five. The strong weekend for Billings and car owner Ryan Hunsinger allowed Billings to leave Brighton with a 16 point lead in the AST Pinty’s National Series standings. Adam Turner, Lee Ladouceur, Mathieu Bardier, and Andrew Hennessy hold the remaining top five positions with four National Series events remaining.

Can-Am Speedway in La Fargeville, New York is next up for the AST Surprenant Truck Shop East Series, while Ohsweken Speedway’s Northern Crate Nationals is next up for the AST Pinty’s National Series.

BOWMAN, MURDOCK, LAMPMAN, AND HAIR WIN ON BURGER BARN NIGHT AT OHSWEKEN

Article Credit: Brent Otchere

OHSWEKEN, Ont. (September 1, 2023) – Burger Barn presented Back To School Backpack Night on Friday at Ohsweken Speedway; Mike Bowman, Steve Murdock, Donny Lampman, and Ken Hair took A-Main wins.

Kool Kidz-Corr/Pak 360 Sprint Cars
Dylan Westbrook started on pole with Mikey Kruchka alongside to start the 25 lap 360 Sprint Car A-Main. Before the first lap could be completed, Liam Martin and Tyeller Powless had issues and brought out a yellow flag. Westbrook set the pace when the green flag reappeared. Josh Hansen was hot on the heels of Westbrook who struggled in turn two, however Westbrook was making quick work of slower traffic.

Westbrook’s lead came to a halt on lap 14 as he got loose in the marbles of turn four and hit the outside wall, sending him in a violent flip. The race was red flagged immediately and the safety team arrived at the scene; Westbrook emerged from the wreck unharmed, and surprisingly was able to carry on in the race as damage was not terminal.

Nick Sheridan led after the restart, but it was short-lived as Mike Bowman asserted himself with only a handful of laps left in the race, going on to his fourth consecutive victory. Next to finish were Hansen in second, Ryan Turner third, Martin fourth, and Sheridan fifth. Bowman now leads the championship standings over Ryan Turner by 23 points.

Strickland’s Crate Sprint Cars
Steve Murdock and Tanner Podwinski brought the field to the green flag for the 20 lap Crate Sprint Car A-Main. Murdock led the first lap, setting a blistering pace, and began to encounter slower traffic by lap seven. Murdock’s lead came under attack on lap 16 as Lance Erskine and Mack DeMan tried everything they could to get around the leader.

Murdock kept his cool and successfully holding off the advances, going on to pick up his first career Sprint Car victory. Crossing the finish line next were DeMan in second, Jesse Costa third, Brett Stratford fourth, and Erskine fifth. DeMan now leads the championship standings over Costa by just four points.

Middleport Mechanical Thunder Stocks
The front row of the grid featured Melissa Miller and Kacey Huffman to begin the 20 lap Thunder Stock A-Main. Mike Thorne quickly obtained the lead on the first lap after starting fourth on the grid. Thorne began to encounter traffic; this did not prove to be a challenge for him as he overtook with ease. Thorne had the lead until Donny Lampman tracked him down and passed for the lead with only four laps left go.

Thorne then conceded positions to title contenders Dave Bailey and Ryan Beagle. Lampman had saved his equipment all race, which allowed him to go on and claim his second career Ohsweken win. Bailey crossed the finish line next in second, Beagle in third, Thorne fourth, and Kyle Wert fifth. Beagle now leads the championship standings over Bailey by just one point.

HRW Automotive Mini Stocks
Jason Tolton started on pole with Christopher French next to him for the 15 lap Mini Stock A-Main. Tolton led the first seven laps until Kyle Rothwell overtook him for the lead, as Tolton struggled to make his way through traffic. Lap nine featured a caution due to debris on the track; Rothwell held off everyone on the restart, however another caution came out shortly after due to Miranda Weiler spinning to a stop.

The race ended a green-white-checkered dash to the finish, with Rothwell taking command of the restart and crossing the finish line first, followed by Ken Hair, Ashton Dickie, Tristan Da Silva, Jeff Elsliger, and Shawn Taylor. Rothwell was later disqualified for a technical infraction which made Hair the race winner. Dickie now leads the championship standings over Ryan Hillar by just one point.

Epic Racewear presents Championship Friday on September 8 featuring the Kool Kidz-Corr/Pak 360 Sprint Cars, Stickland’s Crate Sprint Cars, Middleport Mechanical Thunder Stocks, and HRW Automotive Mini Stocks. Visit www.ohswekenspeedway.ca for more information.

Henry hustles to FAST win, while Drown doubles down Sunday evening at Wayne County Speedway; Moore and Dinan also visit victory lane.

ORRVILLE - Cap Henry has always stood out as a gifted driver. Over the years, though, the Bellevue-based sprint car pilot has been exceptional at the O’Reilly Auto Parts Wayne County Speedway. That trend continued Sunday evening.

Henry bolted from his front row starting spot and led all 30 laps in scoring his second $10,000-to-win Pete Jacobs Memorial-FAST Series event in highlighting action during the annual Labor Day weekend extravaganza at the 3-8-mile near Orrville.

Doug Drown joined Henry in victory lane as the Wooster ace doubled down with dominate victories in the $3,000-to-win Malcuit Tavern Super Late Model and McKenzie Concrete Super Stock mains, while Kyle Moore raced to his second win in as many Flynn’s Tire & Service Center’s King of the County series Modified feature events. Not to be outdone, Port Clinton’s Dustin Dinan made his first-ever visit to WCS one to remember with a thrilling victory in the $1,000-to-win 305 sprint car 20-lapper.

In all, 90 entries graced the WCS’s crowded pit area, with near-perfect late summer weather – and a talent-laden field of 37 FAST Series sprint cars – combining to put an exclamation point on the speedway’s 58th season of weekly racing. The speedway will sit idle until Sept. 23 with a TBA event, then will put the wraps on the 2023 campaign with the 2-day season-ending Blowout on Sept. 29 and 30.

The FAST sprint cars main event hit the speedway first, but not before a few tense moments marred Sunday’s preliminaries. WCS speedway regular and 2-time 2023 winner Henry Malcuit dumped his machine in an easy roll over on the opening lap of the first heat before fellow weekly visitor Jason Dolick flipped wildly off turn 2 in heat 3. Trey Jacobs followed that with a series of hard tumbles in the same location during the evening’s second B main. Fortunately, all drivers escaped injury.

When the main rolled out, Henry threatened to make quick work of the 22-car field as the 9-time 2023 feature winner opened a straightaway lead over Washington’s JJ Hickle, Darin Naida, earlier FAST winner Cody Bova, Cale Thomas, Northwest Ohio standout Travis Philo, and track champion Tyler Gunn, who was shuffled back to seventh after running in the top four during the early stages.

Hickle closed the gap to less than 10 car lengths, however, by lap 20 before a wild series of flips halted action on lap 21 when Thomas left the speedway in turn 2 following a bonsai fourth-to-second attempt that was unsuccessful. Thomas climbed from his battered 23 mount unscathed.

Gunn restarted second with Naida, 10th-starting Kyle Reinhardt, Kraig Kinser, Hickle, and 21st starting Ricky Peterson behind. The red once again stopped action as Hickle dumped his Michigan-based No. 50 in turn 1 on lap 26. Hickle was no worse for the wear but was finished for the evening. On the restart, Rinehardt hustled his Brian Grove 45 past the “Machine Gunn” for second in the closing stages but came up short at the stripe and a $5,000 runner-up finish. Gunn, Kinser, and Peterson rounded out the top five.

Henry became the second 2-time winner of the event (2020), joining Sheldon Haudenschild (2015-2016). Henry also has a Speedweek crown to his resume at WCS, while narrowly missing a second Speedweek title in June after losing a last lap heartbreaker to Tyler Courtney.

“We’ve always been really good here, but the last time we raced here a few weeks back we were struggling a little bit,” said Henry. “But (mechanic Zach Myers) has this Jeff Ward Racing car dialed in right now and we could run just about anywhere. I was getting a little nervous during the middle stages when we were about the same speed as the lapped cars and was glad to see the caution.

“In clean air we were fast, but l wasn’t sure what to expect on those last few restarts. I knew Tyler, who is always fast here, and Kyle would be coming hard but we held on and had enough at the end. It’s great to see the size of the crowd and the turnout of cars we had tonight.”

Drown and Todd Brennan started the 25-lap SLM on the front row, but there was no last-lap drama on Sunday as Drown cruised to his seventh victory of the season. The action, however, was furious behind the pair as Brett Bee, Ryan Markham, Ryan Missler, and New York invader Andy Boozell diced it up for a top-five finish.

Bee turned in his best performance of the season to claim third, with Missler going from 17th to fourth, Markham, Boozell, and Keystone-state ace Matt Lux in tow.

“This thing is really, really fast right now and is probably the most comfortable we’ve had it all summer,” said Drown. “I wish we had a little more season left, but hopefully we can hit a few more shows before we’re done. The track was just awesome, and we could run everywhere from top to bottom.

“To see the fan support tonight was great, too, and we’ll be back for the Blowout for sure.”

The Modifieds hit the speedway next, and the anticipation was evident with Moore making his long-awaited return to the TA Perrine 16, with 11-time winner and newly crowned track champion Colton Shaw, and WCS DirtCar Summernationals winner Nate Young occupying the first three spots.

Shaw grabbed the early lead, with Moore, Young, Drown in the Wiles 187, and Jimmy Humphrey following.

Moore was all over Shaw on a lap 5 restart, however, with Shaw getting crossed up in the now-infamous turn 2, with Moore and Young now starting side-by-side on the ensuing double file restart. The “Madman” led the remaining 14 circuits, though, with Young never more than five car lengths back as the talented duo crossed the stripe 1-2. Drown rode home third, with Humphrey and Ryan Robey rounding out the top five.

“It’s been a while since we’ve had this car out, and l have to thank (Perrine) and all the fans who came out for this great event and the people who back this thing that makes it all possible,” said Moore. “Turns three and four was really good, but there wasn’t much there on the rail on the other end. I hated to see Colton drop out, but it was tricky down there, and l knew Nate wasn’t far behind. We’ll look to get another win at the end of the month.”

The 305 sprint cars have been on point in their rare visits to the speedway and Sunday’s 20-lap event was no exception. Kasey Jedrejek and Dustin Stroup waged a torrid battle early on with Jedrejek leading with Stroup hanging on to second until claiming the lead by lap six. Stroup, however, retired pit side a few laps later with Jedrejek taking over with Brian Sebetto – last year’s WCS winner – and Dinan joining the fray.

The order stayed the same until a red flag for Blain Keckler. Keckler catapulted his 4X machine out of the park in turn 2 but escaped unharmed. Dinan grabbed the point as Jedrejek went pit side when the yellow replaced the red, then withstood a furious last lap charge from Sebetto to claim his 13th career win and first of 2023.

Sebetto, Tyler Schiets, Austin Black, and Halden Miller completed the top five. Versatile wheelman and WCS regular Kyle Moore made his sprint car debut and rode home sixth.

“We may not have had the fastest car, but it just goes to show that you have to finish the race before you can win,” said Dinan. “This is our first ever visit (to WCS), and we’d love to come back here again next year. I didn’t know for sure how close (Sebetto) was back there, but anytime you can finish ahead of him, and these other fast guys is awesome.”

Drown made it look easy in the 15-lap Super Stock main, as the veteran wheeled the Bob Daugherty 21D to a commanding victory. John Wilson and Brandon Craver rounded out the top three.

“It’s so much fun driving Bob’s car, and it actually helps me when l get in my late model,” said Drown. “I’m going to have to hit him (Bob) up for some pointers in getting the kind of traction this thing gets. It’s certainly a lot of fun driving it when l get the opportunity.”

Stayed tuned in the upcoming future for the speedway’s Sept. 23 show, with the 2-day season-ending Blowout slated for Sept. 29-30.

YOUTH PREVAILS IN SOUTHERN SPRINT CAR EVENT

September 3, 2023 – Pinellas Park, Florida – 13-year-old Colton Bettis captured his first career BG Products Southern Sprint Car Shootout Series victory Sunday night at Showtime Speedway in Pinellas Park, Florida just 5 days before his fourteenth birthday. Bettis may now be the youngest driver to have ever won a winged pavement sprint car feature victory.

The feature got off to a rough start when former series champion Sport Allen got upside down after attempting to split the cars of Bryan Riddle and Bruce Brantley on the first lap entering turn 3. His left rear tire rode up over Riddle when the narrow gap closed, sending him upside down. Allen was ok but unable to restart.

On the complete restart, Bettis, who started in the fourth position, attempted the same move as Allen had earlier entering turn 3 on lap 1. Bettis was successful in his attempt to take the lead and led the final 39 laps for his first career series win. Betis would win by a margin of 3.734 seconds.

Following Bettis was Dude Teate and series points leader Daniel Miller rounding out the top three. Miller had sustained a broken hand after his throttle stuck at the same track one week earlier in a practice crash. Miller’s top three effort keeps him in the points lead as the season is winding down.

Bettis is no rookie in terms of pavement sprint car racing. He won a non-winged event at the track in 2021 as an 11-year-old and won the track championship that same season. He was the youngest driver to have ever won a pavement sprint car feature event or championship.

Ryan Adema was the night’s 602 crate sprint car feature winner.
Feature (40 laps) 1. 61-Colton Bettis; 2. 93-Dude Teate; 3. 5-Daniel Miller; 4. 555-Dylan Reynolds; 5. 13-Scotty Adema; 6. 25-Bruce Brantley; 7. 83-Bryan Riddle; 8. 13x-Ryan Adema; 9. 1-Gary Wiggins; 10. 32-Bo Hartley; 11. 88a-Sport Allen; 12. 33-Robert Yoho; 13. 85-Rex Hollinger

Paul Nienhiser Sweeps Sprint Invaders at the Benton County Speedway Bullring!

(Bill W) Vinton, IA, September 3, 2023 – Paul Nienhiser made it four feature wins out of five with the Sprint Invaders Sunday night at the Benton County Speedway in Vinton, Iowa. The Chapin, Illinois driver swept his heat, the Shake-up Dash and the feature, earning $2,000 for his win aboard Scott Bonar’s #50 car. It was his fifth win of the year with the Sprint Invaders, and the twelfth in his career with the series.

The 25-lap feature had a shaky start on the quarter-mile when front row starter, Tyler Lee, tangled with Tasker Phillips and got upside down. Both drivers were uninjured, but done for the night. Colton Fisher was also involved when he spun to avoid the two, and restarted at the rear. Fisher had borrowed a motor from Hetrick Motorsports after losing his in action Saturday in West Liberty.

Chris Martin led early in the main event, with Nienhiser, Cody Wehrle, Luker Verardi and point leader, Ryan Bunton, in tow. While Martin stayed true to the tacky low side, Nienhiser searched around the first few laps. On lap four, a pass through the middle of turn two saw him shoot by Martin and into the lead.

Nienhiser was into lapped traffic by the sixth lap, and was increasing his advantage to a straightaway ahead of Martin and Wehrle. Bret Tripplett had worked his way up to fourth by the halfway point, with Bunton fifth, and Fisher from the tail back to sixth.

With ten laps to go, Verardi lost his steering headed down the backstretch. He was able to avoid disaster by getting over the top of turn three and getting stopped. Nienhiser led the field back to green, ahead of Martin, Wehrle, Tripplett and Fisher. Fisher shot by Tripplett for fourth, and then worked around Wehrle for third with seven to go.

Nienhiser maintained his lead, while Martin held off Fisher at the finish. Wehrle and hard-charger Sawyer Phillips completed the top five. Tripplett, Bunton, Aidan Zoutte, McCain Richards and Steve Pumphrey rounded out the top ten. Nienhiser won his heat and the Shake-up Dash, and Tasker Phillips also won a heat.

“I say it all the time, but the #50 car is just a dream to drive,” said Nienhiser in Victory Lane. “I thank Scott for the opportunity to drive it. Chris got the jump on me there. I probably would have done what he did, and got down on the bottom. I probably wasn’t going to pass him following him so…we had our car set up to move around a little bit. I was able to jump up top. I probably surprised him a little bit with the bottom tacky. I was up there and was able to get by once it cleaned off a little. It was a fun race. I’m glad to knock one off here. I haven’t really been good here in the past.”

“I thought I had the car snugged up enough to run the marbles through the slick,” said Martin of his second, second place finish of the weekend. “I still need to go back to work and keep on learning and making gains. We have some good notes. My hat’s off to Paul and Scott. Overall, it was a really good, solid weekend. There’s nothing to hang our head about. We just need to clean up a few things, and we’ll be back up front.”

“It felt good to restart from the back and have our speed be good,” said Fisher. “It was definitely unfortunate, because I think we had a chance to battle for the lead early. To come back to the podium though, really feels great. I felt a little rubber early in the middle of one and two. I stuck with it, and as it came in towards the end, and unfortunately, Chris found it soon after. After that, it was a little bit of a freight train. I’m happy with the car and happy with the team’s hard work this weekend. We’re looking forward to the last two nights.”

The Sprint Invaders conclude their season with two big events. On Friday, September 22, they will race for $3,000 to win at the Lee County Speedway in Donnellson, Iowa. The season comes to a close on Saturday, September 23 at 34 Raceway in West Burlington, Iowa with the annual “Fall Haul” paying $5,000 to the winner.

Kevin Thomas Jr. Takes 7K Payday in Triple Sprint Showdown Win with POWRi 410 BOSS
Belleville, IL. (9/3/23) Kevin Thomas Jr. would ride away with the seven-thousand-dollar payday after leading the final four laps of the feature to gain the win in the Championship Night running of the Lake Ozark Speedway Triple Sprint Showdown for the POWRi 410 Bandit Outlaw Sprint Series to notch his inaugural career win in an outstanding solid-green twenty-five lap feature event.

Flying onto the finely prepared racing surface with twenty-seven entrants of the POWRi 410 BOSS, the series home facility in Eldon Missouri would see Kevin Thomas Jr. set the quick qualifying time of an 11.797-second lap with Garet Williamson, Blake Hahn, and Jace Park each earning heat racing victories as Zach Hampton notched the event high point qualifier award and pole starting position for the headlining feature.

Going into the initial green flag start with Zach Hampton and Blake Hahn lined up in the front row, Blake Hahn would speed into the early racing advantage as Hampton, Garet Williamson, Kevin Thomas Jr., and Lachlan McHugh battled within the top five.

Setting a blistering pace and occurring lap traffic at a rapid rate, Blake Hahn would click away laps while leading as Zach Hampton and Kevin Thomas Jr. stayed within striking distance and action aplenty flowed behind the leading trio throughout the pack of competitors.

Using late-race heroics, Kevin Thomas Jr would use a deep drive into turn three to slide by Blake Hahn on the exit of four for the preferred position as Hahn maintained momentum to keep pace and battle back on the new leader.

Preserving the front of the field for the final four revolutions around a beautifully prepared surface of the feature event, Kevin Thomas Jr. would not be denied in earning his first career POWRi 410 BOSS feature victory in an action-packed caution-free twenty-five-lap feature.

“This felt really good out there, I knew we had a good car this weekend and that I had to get up on the wheel and go,” said Kevin Thomas Jr. in the Lake Ozark Speedway winner's circle ceremony celebrations. Adding, “I’ve never won a wing show like this before so this one feels special.”

Contending intently behind the leader would find one-time leader of twenty-one laps Blake Hahn finishing runner-up from starting second with Garet Williamson placing on the final podium placement from the starting fourth.

Pole-sitter Zach Hampton would be among the frontrunners all feature to finish fourth as Lachlan McHugh would round out the top-five finishers for the POWRi 410 Bandit Outlaw Sprint Series at Lake Ozark Speedway on Championship Night of the Triple Sprint Showdown.

Kory Schudy Snatches Victory in Fifth Annual Non-Wing Nationals with POWRi WAR
Belleville, IL. (9/3/23) Kory Schudy would only need to lead the final fifty feet to capture the Fifth Annual POWRi Non-Wing Nationals Championship feature event at Lake Ozark Speedway to notch his tenth career feature win with the POWRi Wingless Auto Racing Sprint League in an epic and intensely thrilling twenty-lap event.

Initial on-track actions would witness Ivan Glotzbach start quickest in hot laps with a 13.706-second lap as Kory Schudy, Xavier Doney, and Riley Kreisel would each earn heat racing wins with Schudy snagging the event’s high-point qualifier award for the second night in a row.

Opposing on the initial green flag start would find Kory Schudy battle against front-row companion Xavier Doney into the first pair of corners with Doney gaining the opening on-track advantage as Schudy, Riley Kreisel, Mario Clouser, and Tom Curran all ran inside the top-five while attempting to run down the speedy pacesetter.

Flexing his racing might and appearing to be in a zone of his own, Xavier Doney would hold the front of the field for nineteen and three-quarters of the twenty-lap feature event with Kory Schudy staying within striking distance after a trio of mid-race restarts.

Using late-race heroics with a daring high-line turn four maneuver, Kory Schudy would emerge victorious in the main event by one two-tenth of a second over the one-time leader and runner-up finisher Xavier Doney as point leader Jack Wagner would finalize the podium placements.

“The last few laps I knew I had to do something different because I was miserable on the bottom, I took this thing to the top and had it hooked up to grab the win,” said Kory Schudy in the Lake Ozark Speedway victory lane. Adding, “What a way to win at the line off turn four.”

Overcoming adversity to rebound from an early race mishap, Riley Kreisel would race back through the field to finish fourth as Steven Russell rounded out the top-five finishers in the POWRi Wingless Auto Racing Sprint League in the Night One Non-Wing Nationals feature event at Lake Ozark Speedway.

Henderson, Zebell and Thram Victorious During Bull Haulers Brawl Presented by Folkens Brothers Trucking Finale; Tatnell and Olivier Earn Second Straight Huset's Speedway Championships

Inside Line Promotions - BRANDON, S.D. (Sept. 3, 2023) - Justin Henderson, J.J. Zebell and Christopher Thram capped a stellar Huset's Speedway racing season with wins on Sunday during the Bull Haulers Brawl presented by Folkens Brothers Trucking finale.

Additionally, two track champions were decided during the track's season finale as Brooke Tatnell earned the Cressman Sanitation 410 Outlaw Sprint Cars title and Zach Olivier recorded the Nordstrom's Automotive Late Model Street Stocks championship - both for the second straight season.

Tatnell's came with some anxiety during the main event as he pulled into the work area in the infield running third early in the race. The crew diagnosed a potential problem and Tatnell returned to the track in the 18 th position. He rallied to finish 11 th to hang onto his narrow lead in the championship standings.

"As a driver you know all right we've got a problem," he said. "Can we fix it or can't we fix it? You know typically whether it's a spark plug, it's a nozzle line, it's a rocker arm. I knew if we could get back out, where we had to finish we had to be within 10 of (Chase) Randall and we were safe. I knew if we got to 10 th we're safe. I just sat there and counted. When you're at the back it's pretty bloody scary.

"They all said we're too freakin' old. They can eat some humble pie."

Olivier led the Nordstrom's Automotive Late Model Street Stocks division with seven top fives and 11 top 10s in a dozen main events this season.

"We were really consistent this year, a lot of top fives just like tonight," he said. "The competition has gotten better. You can't win them all. We won a few. Just to be in contention, run top five, top 10 every night is really what it's all about."

Henderson captured his second Cressman Sanitation 410 Outlaw Sprint Cars victory of the season to garner the $6,000 top prize. He led all 25 laps to win by 1.100 seconds, which was his 30 th career triumph at the track. Henderson also became only the second driver to garner multiple wins in the division this year.

"Very special," he said. "I love having my baby boy and my wife here."

Six total cautions occurred during the race and led to the closest calls for Henderson as runner up Scott Bogucki attempted slide jobs on a couple of late restarts. Henderson maintained his spot on the cushion to stay out front throughout the race.

Bogucki finished second with Dusty Zomer ending third and Mark Dobmeier fourth. Kaleb Johnson hustled from last - 21 st - to fifth.

Randall established quick time during qualifying before Dobmeier, Bogucki and Tim Estenson produced heat race victories.

Zebell topped a thrilling Nordstrom's Automotive Late Model Street Stocks feature that showcased five lead changes during the 20-lap race.

Brandon Ferguson paced the field for the first three laps before Zebell took the lead on Lap 4. Mike Chaney battled by Zebell for the top spot on Lap 5 with Zebell reclaiming the position on the ensuing lap. Chaney again captured the lead on Lap 15 before Zebell answered on Lap 16 and led the final five laps to win by 0.447 seconds.

"It was awesome," he said. "It was a blast out there. I'm pumped."

Chaney was the runner up with Colby Klaassen placing third, Olivier fourth and Matt Steuerwald fifth from the 14 th starting position.

The heat races were won by Zebell, Cory Yeigh and Chaney.

Thram led the final 14 laps of the Gunderson Racing Inc. Midwest Sprint Touring Series and QualityFreightRate.com Midwest Power Series 360 sprint cars main event.

"I was a little snug at the beginning, but the track slicked off beautiful," he said. "It was a great race track they gave us to race on and the car kept getting better and better until it was about out of fuel with five to go. It was a little touch and go there the last little bit, but we got it done."

Tatnell held the point for the first 11 laps before Thram used a diamond move to exit turn four on the bottom to edge Tatnell at the line. He then held onto the lead throughout the remainder of an A Main that was slowed by three red flags and two additional cautions.

Tatnell finished 0.602 seconds behind Thram with Riley Goodno advancing from 11 th to third. Micah Slendy was fourth and Brendan Mullen charged from 18 th to fifth.

Chuck McGillivray, Thram, Carson McCarl and Tatnell were the heat race winners. Cameron Martin picked up the B Main triumph.

McMullen extends point lead with fourth straight PDTR 360 Sprint Car A-main win

Neuman fends off Balog to secure second IRA 410 Sprint Car victory

(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) September 2, 2023 – Two-time Plymouth Dirt Track Racing 360 Sprint Car champion Brandon McMullen of Oshkosh took a giant step toward securing another title by claiming his fourth straight 25-lap Plymouth Dirt Track Racing 360 Sprint Car A-main victory, during the annual Sheboygan County Fair Night all-Sprint Car racing program at The Plymouth Dirt Track in Plymouth, Wis. on Saturday, Sept. 2.

In the 30-lap Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car A main, Jake Neuman of New Berlin, Ill. racked up his second career IRA A-main triumph by turning back a late charge from 10-time IRA champion Bill Balog of Hartland.

Alex Pokorski of West Bend grabbed the lead on the opening lap of the 25-lap PDTR-MSA A main from the pole position as 360 Sprint Car rookie T.J. Smith of Greenville worked the high groove to settle into second, while third starter Matt Vandervere of Zion, Ill. took over the third spot.

On lap 4, Smith rode the extreme high groove, just off the outside retaining wall, to pressure the low riding Pokorski for the top spot on lap 4. Two laps later, Pokorski transitioned from the low groove to the high line, which trimmed back Smith’s momentum.

One lap later Smith slowed along the outside line in turn four to bring out the lone caution flag of the race. On the restart, Brandon McMullen, who started eighth, maneuvered underneath Vandervere to take over second in turn two on lap 8.

On the following circuit, McMullen worked the low line to challenge the high-riding Pokorski for the top spot. Pokorski attempted to move down to the low groove on lap 10. However, McMullen was able to slip underneath to seize the lead in turn two.

From there, the four-time MSA 360 Sprint Car champion quickly pulled away from Pokorski to build up a full straightaway lead on lap 15. McMullen caught up to the rear of the field on lap 16, while 14-year-old rookie Logan Julien of Oconomowoc, who started fourth, took third from Vandevere along the outside groove.

McMullen cruised the rest of the way en route to his division-leading 33rd career PDTR and 45th career MSA 360 Sprint Car A-main win, as well as his fourth straight and sixth overall PDTR and seventh MSA 360 Sprint Car A-main win of the 2023 season.

“I could really go anywhere on the track top or bottom, but I knew the bottom was really tacky,” McMullen said. “Hats off to my team. They’ve been phenomenal all year. They are what makes his program work so well.”

Pokorski placed second, Julien wound up third, Vandervere placed fourth and sixth starter Kevin Karnitz of West Bend rounded out the top five.

McMullen will look to seal the Plymouth Dirt Track Racing – Midwest Sprint Car Association 360 Sprint Car titles in the 2023 season finale as part of the Wisconsin Sprint Car Championships at The Plymouth Dirt Track on Saturday, Sept. 30.

Two-time Plymouth Dirt Track Racing and Midwest Sprint Car Association 360 Sprint Car champion Travis Arenz of Sheboygan Falls jumped into the lead on the drop of the green flag in the 30-lap Bumper to Bumper IRA Sprints 410 Sprint Car A main with second starter Jake Neuman following in second.

On lap 5, Neuman worked the high groove in the shadows of The Plymouth Dirt Track wall to sweep into the lead in turn three on lap 5. Two laps later, the leaders encountered lapped traffic before the first of three caution flags appeared on lap 8 when Tyler Brabant of Waupun got out of shape in turn three.

When the race resumed, third starter Bill Balog moved past Arenz to assume second in the running order before the second caution flag appeared on lap 12 when Russel Borland of Kewaskum spun exiting turn four. Two laps later, the third and final caution flag appeared when Dave Uttech of Kenosha spun in turn four.

Following the restart, Balog continued to pound the high cushion in an attempt to track down Neuman. On lap 28, Balog pulled off a slide jump in turn four to lead the lap. However, Neuman battled back to return the favor and regain the top spot from Balog in turn one on lap 29.

Meanwhile, fourth starter Joel Myers Jr. of Santa Rosa, Calif. slipped past Arenz to gain third place on lap 29 as Neuman went on to notch his second career IRA A-main victory, as well as his second career IRA A main triumph at The Plymouth Dirt Track.

“Bill [Balog] stole one from me last year in the last few laps, so I knew what I needed to do and we got it done tonight,” Neuman said.

Balog had to settle for second, Myers Jr. placed third, Arenz was fourth and fifth starter Scotty Thiel of Sheboygan rounded out the top five.

Paul Pokorski of West Bend won the 12-lap PDTR-MSA 360 Sprint Car B main.

Kris Spitz of Salem captured the 12-lap IRA 410 Sprint Car B main.

Anthony Knierim of Franksville collected the Akright Auto PDTR-MSA 360 Sprint Car division fast qualifier award with a lap of 12.723 seconds.

Mike Reinke of Howards Grove earned the fast qualifier award in the IRA 410 Sprint Car division with a lap of 11.539 seconds.

The 16th event of the 2023 PDTR campaign, which was sponsored by Jensen’s Sales & Service, drew a total of 57 Sprint Cars, including 30 Bumper to Bumper IRA 410 Sprint Cars and 27 PDTR-MSA 360 Sprint Cars.

The Plymouth Dirt Track will host the Wildman Watson Classic 2023 Dirt Kings Late Model Tour season finale on Saturday, Sept. 23.

The event will also include Wisconsin wingLESS Sprint Cars, A Modifieds and Street Stocks.

Jason Barney Victorious Again at the Fulton Speedway

By Curtis Berleue (Fulton, NY) | The last time Jason Barney sat in Empire Super Sprints victory lane was back during the season opener in late April at the Fulton Speedway. That changed Saturday night, as Barney continued with the weekends theme of repeat winners at tracks visited previously in 2023 and scored his second tour victory of the year, again at Fulton Speedway.

Starting alongside Pinnacle Pole Award winner Jacob Dykstra, Barney was able to jump out to an early lead, one which he would never relinquish throughout the 25-lap main event.

“Coming to Fulton is always good for us,” said Barney. “Luckily, we laid down a good enough time, and then got a good invert and had a good heat race.”

“The racetrack wasn’t really what I would typically like. They had the tires in an odd spot, and I knew I wasn’t going to be able to run the bottom in 3&4, so I needed to just give up on that idea and get it out of my mind.”

“We flipped through the notebook and found something that was written down about not being able to run the bottom in 3&4 and kind of went with it, and it was good.”

Second place finisher Danny Varin came all the way from the 10th position, and by lap 13 had actually got by Barney for a brief period of time. As a customer of Barney’s 87 Speed business, he had helped Varin with his setup before the feature to see if he could make his way from the 10th starting spot.

“I knew Dan was starting 10th and had talked with him a little about what to do with his car. When I see in 10 or 12 laps that Dan was 12th to second, I thought this could be interesting.”

“I saw a little brown patch coming out of 4 and thought if I could maybe stick the middle and get a launch, maybe I could figure it out from there. I was a little nervous going into a different lane, but it was good.”

For Varin, the nights second place was a continuation of a recent streak of podium finishes for the Sharon Springs driver.

“I think Jason was just really aware of where the lines were and where the grip was,” said Varin. “We were almost pretty much identical there; I was right on his tail tank. When we got to lap traffic, I thought we were going to have something for him.”

“I misjudged a couple lap cars and allowed him to gain that gap there right at the end. We aren’t going to hang our head about tonight.”

Rounding out the Ashley Lynn Winery podium was another driver who has been consistent all season, Shawn Donath, and rounding out the top five were Dylan Swiernik and Chuck Hebing.

30 360 sprint cars lined the pits of Fulton Speedway on Saturday night, meaning that the field was split into 3 groups of timed hot laps. Rifenburg Contracting fast time awards went to Danny Varin, Jacob Dykstra and Matt Farnham. E&V Energy heat races were won by Jason Barney, Jeff Cook and Chuck Hebing, while the Northern Welding and Fabrication Dash went to Paulie Colagiovanni. Dalton Rombough won the Lacaillade Masonry B-Main.

The next scheduled event for the Empire Super Sprints is this coming Friday September 8th at the Utica-Rome Speedway in Vernon, NY. The event will be the completion of the rain shortened evening from August 4th, with just the B-Main and A-Main left to be run.

Cory Long made a last lap pass to win the Pro Stocks; Jeffrey Weaver won the 270s and Hunter Flook won the 4 Cylinders.

Johnny Smith and Dale Schweikart started on the front row of the sprint car feature event. Smith took command of the field while Schweikart maintained a close second. By lap number seven, Smith and Schweikart were in lapped traffic. The event's only caution occurred on lap number eight when Josh Beamers car came to a stop. Smith continued to lead following the restart with Schweikart, Josh Fox, and Timmy Bitter. Bittner moved into third on lap number nine. At the halfway point of the race, Smith was leading, Schweikart, Bittner, Fox and Wyatt Walizer. Schweikart got close on several occasions in lapped traffic, but Smith was too strong in clean air to claim his second consecutive victory in as many weeks. Schweikart was second, followed by Bittner, Fox, and John Walp. Sixth through tenth were Walizer, Matt Tebbs, Steven Kenn Ewell Jr., Dustin Prettyleaf, and Todd Lynn. Heat races were won by Prettyleaf and Lynn.

Smith claimed his second feature of the night over Ferry and Stabley, who claimed the 2023 track championship. Mikey Smith and Levi Brungard rounded out the top five. Heats were won by Stabley and Smith.

AJ Hoffman started second in the 20-lap Pro Stock Summer special event, presented by Leonard Landscape and Supply. Hoffman raced into turn one with Robert Tressler for the lead. With Hoffman out front, the next four cars were in a heated battle. AY Schilling took second by lap number three, with AJ Stroup and Johnny Bouse in the top four. By lap number six, Cory Long moved into the top five.

At the halfway mark, Hoffman was leading Bouse, Schilling Stroup and Long. On lap 13, the caution waved for Larry Knight. Bouse began to challenge for the lead and managed to pass Hoffman on lap number 16. Long worked forward from fifth place and was third on lap seventeen and second on the white flag lap. Long closed in on Bouse during the final lap and made the pass for the win as the duo exited turn number four. Hoffman was third, Stroup fourth and Kissinger was fifth. Heats were won by Bouse and Hoffman

Hunter Zimmerman led the first two laps of the 270 Micro Sprint feature event. Seventh place starter, Jeffrey Weaver took the lead on lap number three.

Michael Faccinto and Shawn Jones earn exciting wins at Nor*Cal Posse Shootout opener

By Gary Thomas

Placerville, CA…Opening night of the Nor*Cal Posse Shootout brought an abundance of thrills and ultimately ended with 2023 Placerville Speedway track champion Michael Faccinto parking the Friends & Family Racing X1 in victory lane.

San Jose’s Shawn Jones also drove to an entertaining win during the High Sierra West Coast Wingless Shootout portion of the evening on Saturday.

The 30-lap Winged Sprint Car finale turned out to be a wild back and forth affair that kept fans on the edge of their seats. Hanford’s Michael Faccinto jumped into the early lead and held command, as he searched for his first triumph of the season on the red clay.

Lapped traffic made things hectic early on and created some fantastic bullring racing. Roseville’s Colby Copeland and Auburn’s Andy Forsberg hounded the leader and on lap seven, Copeland pounced to grab the point. Forsberg followed along just after to take over second.

The first yellow of the feature came on lap 13 and brought the party to a momentary halt. On the ensuing restart Forsberg blasted around the outside to snag the top-spot, only to have another caution make it all for naught. Once going back green the racing remained hot and heavy throughout the field. With nine-laps remaining, Copeland banged the turn two cushion a bit hard, while Forsberg took advantage to become the new leader.

A couple laps later Copeland would stop with front end damage and shortly after that, Forsberg also slowed with a fuel line coming loose. It was a definite heartbreak for the nine-time champion, who has been in contention to win each of the last four events, only to have something take that chance away.

Faccinto led the remaining six-laps to score his second career Placerville Winged 360 victory over Oakley’s Dylan Bloomfield, Fremont’s Shane Golobic, Shingle Springs Justin Johnson and Clarksburg’s Justyn Cox. Johnson must be commended for putting together his finest night of the season and initial top-five finish since 2016.

The remainder of the top-10 was filled out by 15th starting Tony Gomes, Colby Johnson, Shane Hopkins, Adventures and Tours with Kellie Hard Charger Kaleb Montgomery and Tanner Carrick. A total of 29 cars competed on night one of the Nor*Cal Posse Shootout, with Colby Copeland claiming the fast time award using a lap of 10.807.

Shawn Jones has proven to be one of the very best in California when it comes to Wingless Sprint Car racing. That was on full display last night after he brought home victory in the High Sierra West Coast Wingless Shootout opener.

Jones started from the front row and held command, but the racing behind him was action packed as drivers ran side-by-side throughout the 20-car field.

Fair Oaks’ Jake Morgan and Placerville’s Shane Hopkins battled closely with Finkerbinder Racing teammates Jacob Tuttle and Blake Bower on several occasions. Jones ended up accepting the Ron Stahl checkered flag by 2.412 seconds margin of victory over Morgan, Hopkins, Tutttle and Bower.

The top-10 was rounded out by Mark Hanson, Shawn Arriaga, Brent Steck, Trey Walters and Josh Young. A total of 28 Wingless Sprint Cars were on hand during the night. Arriaga began the evening by touring the quarter mile in 12.315 seconds to earn the fast time award.

Must See Racing Engine Pro Sprint Car Series

OVID, Mich. (Sept. 2, 2023) – Davey Hamilton Jr. stayed on a roll and collected his second straight Must See Racing Engine Pro Sprint Car Series victory Saturday night at Owosso Speedway.

Hamilton stayed persistent, and after losing the lead on a mid-race restart to Ryan Litt, re-passed Litt on the bottom of the three-eighths-mile oval with three laps left before driving away to the win.

It marked Hamilton’s third consecutive win in a pavement, open-wheel car, when adding in a USAC Silver Crown Series triumph at World Wide Technology Raceway on Aug. 27.

“Ryan Litt is one of the best in the country … and I knew it was going to take a lot to beat him,” said Hamilton. “Our car was fast, even though I messed up on that restart a bit. We were running about the same lap times, and the lap cars weren’t helping to where he finally made a few mistakes that helped us out.

“Being able to capitalize feels good … and with three wins in a row now, it finally feels like we’re starting to get this bad luck that we’ve had through the summer off our back a bit.”

Hamilton controlled the opening stint of the race, jumping from third starting position to the lead past polesitter Tommy Nichols on the first lap, but it was a lap-13 caution flag that changed the complexion at the front of the field.

After Joe Liguori went spinning through the frontstretch grass, Hamilton chose the outside lane on the ensuing double-file restart and then lost the advantage to Litt when the green flag returned.

However, Hamilton went to work on the inside lane, hounding Litt lap after lap as time ticked away before Litt’s handling went away and allowed Hamilton to the inside in turns three and four coming to three to go.

Hamilton pounced immediately before driving away to a 1.93-second margin of victory over the final three laps. Litt and Blonde completed the podium, followed by Tyler Roahrig in fourth.

After the race, Litt cited a leak in his right-rear tire as the culprit to why his car changed so suddenly in the closing stages of the race.

“After that restart, the car got really, really tight coming off the corners,” said Litt. “Now, I guess we know why that was. I pushed the thing for all it had, it was making it loose on corner entry, but I could hear him all over me and knew I had to try to hold on. I saw him peek the nose and tried to maintain the fastest pace that I could. It just wasn’t enough in the end.”

The day was wild for many in the Must See Racing field, including defending series champion Charlie Schultz, who had to change teams and cars after his familiar No. 9s lost an engine during practice.

Schultz jumped into a Dave Koyan-owned car for the remainder of the program and salvaged a fifth-place finish in the feature.

However, after coming in tied with Blonde for the point lead, Schultz exited Owosso with an unofficial 15-point deficit to Blonde ahead of the finale at Plymouth Motor Speedway in two weeks.

Rick Holley set the all-time Owosso Speedway track record in qualifying – a lap of 12.520 seconds (mph) – eclipsing the 18-year-old mark of 12.565 previously held by Cameron Dodson and owner Dick Myers.

However, Holley’s car suffered an engine failure at the end of his heat race, leading the fast qualifier to start the 40-lap main in fellow journeyman driver Joe Speakman’s entry.

The finale to the Must See Racing national sprint car season is scheduled for Sept. 16 at Indiana’s Plymouth Motor Speedway, the first time winged pavement sprint cars will return to the track in more than a decade.

Cody Gallogly won the companion 40-lap Must See Racing Midwest Lights crate sprint car feature, passing 17-year-old Andrew Bogusz on a late restart and going on to his third win in five races this season.

It also strengthened his hold on the point lead in an effort to repeat as champion, with one race remaining at Lorain Raceway Park in South Amherst, Ohio, on Aug. 23.

Bogusz and J.J. Henes completed the Midwest Lights podium finishers.

Xavier Doney Drives to Night One Non-Wing Nationals Win with POWRi WAR
Belleville, IL. (9/2/23) Xavier Doney would lead the final five laps while holding steady in a late-race restart with the POWRi Wingless Auto Racing Sprint League to capture the Night One Non-Wing Nationals feature event at Lake Ozark Speedway and notch his fourth career feature win.

Early on-track accomplishments would witness Jack Wagner start quickest in hot laps with a 13.744-second lap as Riley Kreisel and Kory Schudy would each earn heat racing wins with Kory Schudy pocketing the event’s high-point qualifier award after racing from fourth to first in his heat racing win.

Contesting on the initial green flag start would find pole-sitter Kory Schudy battle against front-row companion Steven Russell into the first pair of corners with Schudy gaining the opening on-track advantage as Russell, Riley Kreisel, Katlynn Leer, and Mario Clouser running inside the top-five while attempting to run down the speedy leader.

Pacing the field out front, Kory Schudy would appear to be in a driving advantage of his own while leading the first fourteen laps of competition as Steven Russell would lead one lap in a spirited battle up front.

Battling from a sixth starting spot, Xavier Doney would drive into the front position by using an outstanding diamond run in turn two to overtake for the top spot as a late-race restart would bunch the field together with a pair of laps remaining.

Holding steady on the late restart, Xavier Doney would not be denied in his second feature win of 2023 while holding off the late-stage heroics of runner-up placement Jack Wagner as 2021 league champion Mario Clouser finalized the podium placements.

“This was a real elbows up kind of track tonight that was up high on the cushion, I was able to find a diamond line off the corners before everyone else at that played to my advantage.” said an excited Xavier Doney in the Lake Ozark Speedway victory lane. Adding, “This car is a rocket right now, the Schnee-Lawson is really coming into its own.”

Maintaining a solid showing all night, Katlynn Leer would finish fourth as Steven Russell rounded out the top-five finishers in the POWRi Wingless Auto Racing Sprint League in the Night One Non-Wing Nationals feature event at Lake Ozark Speedway.

Leading the first fifteen laps, Lachlan McHugh would seem to be the head of the field as Ayrton Gennetten would close quickly. Overtaking for the front, Gennetten would grab the lead as caution would bunch the pack back together.

Maintaining the front of the field for the final ten laps of the feature event, Ayrton Gennetten would hold all challengers at bay to earn his third career POWRi 410 BOSS feature victory with action aplenty throughout the intense event.

“I was really indecisive coming into the feature with the setup and I’d say it worked out, this was so much fun to race clean, and hats off these guys for keeping it clean.” said an elated Ayrton Gennetten in the Lake Ozark Speedway winner's circle ceremony celebrations. Adding, “This was a really good night points-wise and payout, now just try to do it again tomorrow.”

Battling intently behind the leader late would find Zach Hampton finish runner-up from starting fifth with one-time leader Lachlan McHugh placing on the final podium placement from the starting pole position.

Garet Williamson would finish fourth from starting fourth as Steven Russell would hard-charge his way past eight other competitors to round out the top-five finishers for the POWRi 410 Bandit Outlaw Sprint Series at Lake Ozark Speedway on Saturday Night.

Colagiovanni Repeats at Brewerton with Empire Super Sprints

By Curtis Berleue (Brewerton, NY) | For the second time this season, Paulie Colagiovanni was victorious at the Brewerton Speedway with the Empire Super Sprints on Friday night.

Coming all the way from the 12th starting spot, Colagiovanni made quick work of the cars in front of him, moving into the top 3 by the halfway point, and then taking the lead and not looking back on lap 20 of the 25-lap event en-route to victory lane and the $2,000 winner’s share.

“We started 12th so we knew we were going to have to put some work in,” said Colagiovanni. “I knew there was going to be bite on the bottom, so I said I’m just going to go to the top and see what happens. Halfway through the race the track got worked through a little bit and the top went away and the bottom came in.”

By virtue of draw, Jordan Poirier and Danny Varin brought the 24-car starting field to the green flag. Varin jumped out to the initial lead, but on lap 11 relinquished it to Jordan Thomas. Thomas proceeded to lead until lap 20 when Colagiovanni got by him, but managed to hang on for a second place finish.

“Knowing where to go there at the end was key,” said Thomas. “I was just more or less protecting the bottom. We caught lap cars right when Paulie got by me, I don’t know if that made a difference or not. I would have loved to see another restart; I don’t know if it was tires or what but restarts I was really good.”

Danny Varin continued his streak of podiums by finishing third and rounded out the Ashley Lynn Winery podium on the night.

With 29 cars in the pits, three timed hot lap groups took to the track with Shawn Donath, Jacob Dykstra and Danny Varin earning Rifenburg Contracting fast time awards for their respective groups. In E&V Energy heat race action, Lacey Hanson won her first ever ESS heat race along with Joe Trenca and Jordan Thomas. The Dylan Terry Photography dash went to Dylan Swiernik, and the Lacaillade Masonry B-Main was won by Matt Tanner.

Kerry Madsen earns 1st Attica All Star win; Shiels romps to 4th straight late model victory

Friday, Sept. 1, 2023

By Brian Liskai

ATTICA, Ohio – Kerry Madsen held off a charging Kyle Reinhardt after a late race caution and drove to his first ever Attica Raceway Park feature win to kick off the Attica Ambush with the Tezos All Star Circuit of Champions presented by Mobil 1 on Morgan Stanley/Great Lakes Truck Centers Night presented by Janet Holbrook.

While the final tally shows “The Mad Man” from St. Mary’s New South Wales, Australia led all 35 laps for the $6,000 pay day, it certainly wasn’t easy. Following a red flag for a Cap Henry tumble on lap 27, Neptune City, N.J. driver Kyle Reinhardt made a big charge to challenge Madsen. Reinhardt got beside Madsen on lap 30 but got sideways, allowing Madsen to get away and Tyler Courtney to take over the runner-up spot. Courtney closed the last three laps but ran out of time as Madsen went on to score his 12th career All Star win aboard the TK Concrete/Maxim Trucking/Logan Contractor Supply/Zip Bonds/Smoker’s Choice Cigar Bar/Vermeer Motorsports #55.

“It’s kind of stressful leading a race like that. You’re not sure what’s quicker and what’s not,” Madsen stated. “Just hats off to my team. Clinton and Nate just give me a great race car. To win at Attica, you have to have a good race car, and that’s what we had here tonight. Happy to get it done for everyone at Vermeer Motorsports. A tip of the hat to all of our progress. We’ve been quick and just haven’t been able to put it together and tonight we were able to put it all together. Fast cars win races and once everyone gets on the same page and build some confidence all the breaks start happening.”

Courtney, a two time and defending All Star champion, and kept his great runs at Attica going.

“Our car was pretty darn good there at the end. At the beginning of the race I just couldn’t get going. That last long run I was able to get my wing back and see what I could go do. Big scheme of things going for another championship it was a good night,” said Courtney beside his NOS Energy Drink/ZMAX/Elliotts Custom Trailers and Carts backed #7BC.

For Reinhardt, the charge to challenge for the win gives him a ton of confidence heading into Saturday’s $12,000 win Attica Ambush finale as he rounded out the podium.

“I gave it all I had. Every time I got close to him…there was like two or three times I had a shot…the yellow would come out or I’d get crossed up. I can’t thank Bryan Grove and all the guys enough for giving me the opportunity. I’ve struggled here the few times I’ve been here so this is a really good run for us,” said Reinhardt beside his Canton Erectors/Starrett Service/Premier Pallet/Coors Banquet Beer/Capitol Renegade/Baker Transportation backed #45.

Four time and defending UMP Late Model track champion Devin Shiels took the lead from Mike Bores on lap three and never looked back as he drove to his fourth straight Dirt Nerds Podcast A-main win at Attica. It’s Shiels fifth overall win at Attica in 2023 and his 20th career victory at the track putting him in a tie for fourth on the division’s all-time win list with Ryan Missler.

“Four straight sounds pretty good, especially with the points and coming down to the end of the year. That track kind of threw us for a loop. We thought it was so dry when we got here but it had moisture underneath. We were pretty even….when we got to lapped cars it was hard to pass them,” said Shiels beside his Magic Fountain Auto Wash, Rally’s Hamburgers, Dundee Products, Banshee Graphics, Salenbein Trucking & Excavating, Dirt Nerds Podcast, Banshee Graphics backed #51.

Attica Raceway Park will be back in action Saturday, Sept. 2 with the All Star Circuit of Champions along with the Fremont Fence 305 sprints in action.

DAVE BLANEY WINS "410" SPRINT CAR THRILLER FROM 10TH FOR 3RD SHARON WIN OF 2023 WORTH $4000 IN "WEDNESDAY NIGHT THUNDER"; MAT WILLIAMSON 2-FOR-2 IN BIG-BLOCK MODS

August 30, 2023

By Mike Leone

(Hartford, OH)…Despite a persistent drizzle throughout the evening with fall-like conditions, Sharon Speedway was able to persevere and defeat Mother Nature in the second and final Cortland Mower Sales "Wednesday Night Thunder" program of the 94th anniversary season. The fans in the stands and around the world watching on DIRTVision were treated to two spectacular feature events! Celebrating in the Hovis Auto & Truck victory lane were Dave Blaney-Hovis Auto & Truck Supply "410" Sprint Cars and Mat Williamson-Hovis Auto & Truck Supply Big-Block Modifieds.

Tenth starting Dave Blaney passed Lee Jacobs on lap 12 then held off 12th starting Dale Blaney and a furious charge by 22nd starting Brandon Spithaler over the final five laps to win a thrilling 30-lap Hovis Auto & Truck Supply "410" Sprint Car feature. After winning the $3,000 season opener and the $3,000 Western PA Speedweek event, the elder Blaney's third victory of 2023 was worth $4,000.

"The track changed so much," explained the 60-year-old Concord, North Carolina National Sprint Car Hall of Fame racer. "It was really sticky early. When I came out for the feature it was way slippery and I was sure I didn't have the right setup in to even have a chance, but it went right to the front. I'm surprised, but happy so it's a great night. I can't believe the rain held off either just as much as me winning. Starting 10th, the first couple laps is key, and I had a really good first couple laps around the bottom to clear some guys. I saw Dale (Blaney) was behind me and didn't know where to go on the restart or to block; I could hear him, but luckily never saw him."

After crashing hard in the lead at the last event on July 29, Lee Jacobs took off in the lead getting by Dan Kuriger at the start of the feature with A.J. Flick and Bob Felmlee in tow. The "Buckeye Bullet" was already halfway to the front in fifth after the opening lap then passed Felmlee for fourth on lap two. One lap later, Blaney ducked under Flick for third. Up front, Jacobs had checked out from the field, while Blaney quickly caught Kuriger. On lap six, Blaney made the pass of Kuriger for second, but found himself 3.494 seconds behind Jacobs.

While all eyes were on Blaney's charge as he closed in on Jacobs, some of the attention focused to Spithaler, who was making his way forward. Spithaler cracked the top five on lap eight then passed Flick for fourth on lap 10. Back up front, Blaney caught Jacobs on lap 11 and made what would be the winning move one lap later on the bottom of turn two.

Spithaler continued to run the fence as he drove around Kuriger for third on lap 12 then did the same to Jacobs on lap 15 for second. Spithaler was 1.520 seconds behind leader Blaney when he made his way into second. As Spithaler tried to track down the elder Blaney, he couldn't clear the lapped car of Jeremy Kornbau with his slider as he scrubbed off a bunch of speed allowing Dale Blaney to close in. Dale Blaney seemingly came out of nowhere as he then snuck under Spithaler for second on lap 20.

A caution for All Star Circuit of Champions regular, Zeth Sabo, slowed action with 25 laps completed. Under cautions, fourth running Jacobs suffered a flat tire as it appeared he may have run over Sabo's debris. The last five laps had fans on the edge of their seats as the lead trio ran three distinct different lines; Dave Blaney the bottom, Dale Blaney the middle, and Spithaler the top!

The trio battled hard running nearly three-wide until Dave Blaney got away on the final lap and took his 37th career Sharon "410" win by 0.704 seconds in his DRE Custom Trailers/Ryan Blaney Family Foundation/UPMC Concussion Group/Mohawk/Bill Davis-sponsored #10.

Dale Blaney came up short in his quest of beating his brother to three wins this year as Dale won the first "Wednesday Night Thunder" show on June 28 followed by a victory on July 21, but had to settle for the $2,000 runner-up in the Tiger Barris #32B.

"I'm sure he (Dave Blaney) could hear me around his right rear at least the first three after that caution," described the 59-year-old Hartford, Ohio Nationals Sprint Car Hall of Fame racer. "I should have beat the top down here. I knew Brandon (Spithaler) was probably going to make another run, and if he cleared me he was probably going to have a shot at Dave, but he got into the wall a little and I got back in front of him. I should have been more patient in the center of the corner and caught that little bit on exit through the middle. I was really good from about lap 10 through 25 and got rolling good everywhere so I'm really happy with it."

After crashing in his heat, Spithaler's crew and several other teams pitched in to get his rear-end changed and his car fixed just in time to run the last chance B main where he went ninth to fourth to transfer to the feature. Spithaler then passed 19 cars in the feature to earn the $100 Summit Racing Equipment hard charger gift card in addition to a $1,500 payday.

"The car was good but first and foremost I need to thank my crew and everyone that chipped in helping to put a rear-end in- Carl Bowser, the whole McCandless crew, and Lee Jacobs," stated the 32-year-old Butler, Pa. resident. "I hurt it pretty bad in the heat race. To come from the tail, and I had my shot at it. I didn't know if I was going to get another one so I put my foot in it so see if I could squirt past both Blaneys in one corner. If the track was a little wider, I might have got it done."

Carl Bowser went ninth to fourth for $1,200 as he returned to the seat of the McCandless #29, which he'll finish the season in on the All Star Circuit of Champions. Flick was fifth. Dan Kuriger dropped from the pole to sixth at the finish. Michigan's Dan McCarron made his first Sharon visit in nearly three years and was seventh. Adam Kekich was eighth as Felmlee dropped to ninth. George Hobaugh started 19th and came home 10th.

Henry Malcuit set fast time overall against the 29-car field in qualifying with a lap of 14.459. Heat winners were Felmlee, McCarron, and Max Stambaugh, while Hobaugh won the last chance B main.

After winning his career first Sharon Speedway race on July 8 for the $2,500 "Lou Blaney Memorial" with the BRP Tour Series, Mat Williamson returned on Wednesday night and made the three hour plus tow worthwhile. After dropping back to sixth early on in the 25-lap Hovis Auto & Truck Supply feature, Williamson charged to the front on the outside and passed fellow Northeast DIRTcar standout Erick Rudolph on lap 22 then pulled away to make it two-for-two in Big-Block Modified competition this season. Williamson earned $2,000 for his 199th career win in the caution-free event timed in 7:38.176.

"It's a ton of fun coming down here to race," acknowledged the 33-year-old Ridgeway, Ontario professional racer. "I wish we had more tracks like this up north. You fans are really lucky to have tracks like this down here. You fans are the best in the world and I love coming down here. The top came around to me. The beginning of the race I got passed by a few people on the bottom. I didn't want to give up on the top because I knew I wasn't going to win if I stuck to the bottom so I kept beating the cushion up and she came in about 15 laps into the race."

Rick Regalski, Jr. raced out to the early lead in search of his first career Big-Block Modified victory. Regalski, who also runs a RUSH Sprint Car, led the first five laps before Rudolph snuck under in turn three for the lead on lap six. While the top five were all running the bottom, Williamson stuck it out on the top and eventually cleaned it off and made headway. Williamson passed both Will Thomas III and last Saturday night's winner Rex King, Jr. on lap 12 to move into fourth. Williamson then snuck under Garrett Krummert for third on lap 13 before driving around Regalski for second off turn two on lap 15.

By the time Williamson made his way to second, he faced a deficit of 2.291 seconds with just 10 laps remaining. Williamson continued to run the top as he chewed into Rudolph's lead and closed in with five laps to go. With Rudolph running the bottom, Williamson drove around the New York star in turn four to lead lap 22. Once in front, Williamson pulled away in his S&W Service Centre/Becker Bros. Trucking/Marin Drywall/Williamson Welding/Bicknell Racing Products-sponsored #6 to become the first repeat Big-Block Modified winner of the season.

Rudolph earned $1,200 for second. Krummert, who started eighth, passed Regalski on lap 21 to finish third. Regalski dropped to fourth over King. Mike Kinney was sixth as Jim Rasey, Mike Dougherty, Jr., Justin Shea, and Ayden Cipriano completed the top 10. Heat winners were Regalski and Rudolph.

There will be no racing over Labor Day weekend. The next events will be September 8-9 for the "Apple Festival Nationals". The UMP Mods and Pro Stocks will run a complete show on Friday night, while heat races will be contested for the Big-Block Modifieds, RUSH Sprint Cars, RUSH Sportsman Modifieds and Econo Mods. On Saturday night, the "410" Sprint Cars will run a complete show for $3,000 to-win, while the classes that ran heat races only on Friday will run their remainder of their show.

Melair Steers To Selinsgrove Win
08-27-2023

Whether fighting for the early lead, flying on a clear track, or cutting through traffic, Mike Melair had the edge Saturday night, taking home the victory in an exciting, nonstop River Valley Builders PA Sprint Series 20-lap feature at Selinsgrove Speedway.

The Warrington (Bucks County) driver took the Ort Racing Bath Fitter/College Hunks Moving & Hauling #36 across the finish line .466 seconds ahead of Nick Sweigart to score his first win since June of 2021 at Hagerstown. He appeared to win a race later that year at Lincoln, but in his excitement forgot to go straight to the scales after the race and was disqualified. This year he was leading at the white flag at Path Valley Speedway but came home second, and he had another runner-up finish at Port Royal Speedway. Unfortunately, he also had an unwelcome amount of bad luck and bad pill draws for starting position.

Saturday the feature start re-draw was kind, giving Melair the pole position after a runner-up finish in his heat. From there he outdueled Tyler Snook of Selinsgrove for the early lead and drove off from the field. When traffic became an issue – 27 cars started the race and 25 went the distance – Melair was patient and efficient and kept his challengers behind.

Things tightened at the end. Myerstown’s Sweigart, in by far his best run since rejoining IMCA/RaceSaver competition with the Williams Racing #89, had gradually picked his way through the top five, and after taking the runner-up spot from Zach Rhodes of McVeytown, he began reeling in the leader. The victory margin represented perhaps Melair’s smallest lead since the opening laps.

Positions were changing constantly behind the leader, but in the end, Melair, Sweigart, and Rhodes took the podium positions, with Snook coming home fourth, ahead of follow hometowner Ken Duke.

Completing the top 10 were last week’s Selinsgrove winner Kruz Kepner, Dustin Young, Austin Reed, points leader Logan Spahr, and Kenny Heffner.

The winning team dedicated its victory to two recently deceased individuals especially close to them: Rod Ort’s sister, and area racing stalwart Duval Dressler.

Heat races were won by Heffner, Duke, and Mike Alleman, with Johnny Smith taking the B-Main. After that race, promoter Stephanie Baker added to the purse so that all 27 cars still able to compete could start the feature.

Duke won the Jim “Slippery” Snyder Fast Time Award, honoring the memory of long-time push truck driver Snyder and created by his son, Brian. Duke turned a lap of 18.923 seconds in his heat race.

Kepner claimed the W.C. Eshenaur & Son Hard Charger Award from moving up from his 11th place start to sixth at the finish. Sweigart, Spahr, and Smith had the next best performance in that category.

Next week is a rare off one for PASS; the IMCA/RaceSaver Nationals will be contested at Eagle Raceway in Nebraska. The next action will make up for that break, though, because the PASS racers will be joining Tony Stewart’s All Star Circuit of Champions again, this time at Port Royal Speedway on Thursday, September 7, for one of the preliminary nights before that track’s annual Tuscarora 50.

The PASS portion of the show will be special as well, because it’s part of the FANiversary Tour sponsored by the Pennsylvania Game Commission commemorating the group’s 25th year of competition, and the race winner will earn an automatic starting slot in both the Race to Hunting Season event on Saturday, September 16, at Selinsgrove, and the Keystone RaceSaver Challenge on Saturday, October 21, at Port Royal.

Goos Jr. Captures Huset's Speedway Championship With Late-Race Pass; Henderson and Howe Also Triumphant During Royal River Casino Night

Inside Line Promotions - BRANDON, S.D. (Aug. 27, 2023) - Lee Goos Jr. became the first Huset's Speedway track champion of the season on Sunday evening and he did so in impressive fashion with a late-race pass during Royal River Casino Night.

The victory propelled him to a one-point win in the Wyffels Hybrids RaceSaver Sprint Car Series championship standings.

Justin Henderson and Ron Howe were also victorious on Sunday during the penultimate weekend of the racing season at Huset's Speedway.

Jacob Peterson held the point for the first 16 laps of the 20-lap Wyffels Hybrids RaceSaver Sprint Car Series main event. Lap after lap, Goos Jr. stayed close as both drivers focused on the bottom lane around the high-banked oval.

As the laps wound down Goos Jr. and third-running Cole Vanderheiden were tied in the championship standings with Vanderheiden owning the tiebreaker. Goos Jr. didn't let it get that far as he snuck underneath Peterson for the lead on Lap 17. He then held on for the final four laps to win by 0.964 seconds, becoming the 10 th different winner in 10 division races this season.

"It's the best way to do it, right?," he said. "I've been coming here for a long time and I've been close a lot of times. I seen the (video) board and Cole was behind me. If I even screw up a little bit and I knew it was over. I just did the really patient, conservative way of winning this one.

"This is definitely a highlight by far. It's the biggest thing I've ever won. There's a different winner every week here so it's really tough. This class is a great group of guys. All of them are great to race with."

Peterson placed second with Vanderheiden rounding out the podium. Matt Johnson garnered a fourth-place finish and Tyler Rabenberg ended fifth.

Peterson was the quick qualifier to start the evening. The heat races were won by Dusty Ballenger, Bayley Ballenger, Heath Nestrick and Vanderheiden. Tyler Drueke was the B Main winner.

Henderson posted his 15 th career Cressman Sanitation 410 Outlaw Sprint Cars victory at the track by leading the final five laps.

Skylar Prochaska paced the field for the first eight laps before Tim Kaeding powered into the top spot on Lap 9 using the bottom groove in turns three and four. Henderson advanced to second on Lap 16. Kaeding's left rear tire started to go low during a caution on Lap 19. He maintained the top spot for the following couple of laps before Henderson drove around him on Lap 21. Kaeding's tire exploded on the following circuit.

"It feels really, really good," Henderson said. "The door opened on Skylar and we were there to capitalize. Tim (Kaeding) probably would have won that thing without the left rear going low so thank God for a little bit of luck. There were some hard chargers so thank God they didn't start closer to the front. I love being here in Victory Lane."

Henderson was strong in the final laps to top runner-up Prochaska by 1.339 seconds.

"That's a really good run for us," Prochaska said. "We had speed. All in all, it was a good night."

Mark Dobmeier hustled from 15 th to third, including a charge to gain two positions on the final restart.

"I wish we had more laps at the end because that car was coming on harder and harder," he said.

Brooke Tatnell was fourth and Tim Estenson posted a fifth-place finish.

Henderson was quickest in qualifying before Prochaska, Estenson and Scott Winters recorded heat race triumphs.

Howe led the final dozen laps to score his first career win at Huset's Speedway in the Nordstrom's Automotive Late Model Street Stocks division.

"Unbelievable," he said while fighting back tears. "We've worked at this for a long time. I've been here since 1976. This is my first victory here at 65."

Billy Prouty held the point for the first eight laps before a caution on Lap 9 bunched the field together. A pair of cautions on ensuing restarts slowed the race, but Howe was able to pounce on the bottom groove once the race resumed. A late caution set up a green-white-checkered finish and Howe was efficient throughout the final two laps to win by 1.123 seconds.

Prouty finished second with John Hoing placing third, 10th-starting Cory Yeigh fourth and points leader Zach Olivier fifth.

Prouty, Mike Chaney and Howe were the heat race winners.

The 2023 racing season at Huset's Speedway concludes next Saturday and Sunday during the Bull Haulers Brawl presented by Folkens Bros. Trucking. The action features the Cressman Sanitation 410 Outlaw Sprint Cars, the Gunderson Racing Inc. Midwest Sprint Touring Series and QualityFreightRate.com Midwest Power Series 360 sprint cars and the Nordstrom's Automotive Late Model Street Stocks (Sunday only).

Farnham and Vigneri Haul Tri-City Loot Across the Border; Mollick, Scott, Seippel, and Morrison Also Score

(Franklin, PA August 27, 2023): Two New York pilots won their first career victories at Tri-City Raceway Park, and, in doing so, they carried the biggest checks across the border. Taking the Diehl Chevrolet 410 Sprint Car feature was Matt Farnham and Phil Vigneri had the honors in the Pitt Stop Pub 358 Modifieds.

Also scoring a win was Jammin’ John Mollick in the Hovis Auto & Truck Supply RUSH Sprint Cars presented by Billy’s Garage. Mollick was also the hard charger in picking up his first victory at Tri-City Raceway Park.

David Scott captured the A & MP electric, Inc. UMP Modified Main, Josh Seippel got his third consecutive win in the Hovis Auto & Truck Supply Pro Stocks, and Dillon Morrison in the 4 Your Car Connection Four Cylinder Mini Stocks.

Matt Farnham and A.J. Flick brought the Diehl Chevrolet 410 Sprints for the green flag in their twenty-five lapper. Andy Priest and Bob Felmlee started in row two. The third row consisted of Steven Bright and Bodey McClintock. Andy Cavanaugh and Nathan McDowell started in row four. Jack Sodeman, Jr., last week’s winner, started scratch because he was unable to start the heat race.

Farnham took the lead entering turn one and he never looked back. “The car was really good, we made a bunch of changes after the heat race,” he said. “I know that A.J. (Flick) was going to be good and that Bob (Felmlee) was also going to be good. I knew that I just had to concentrate and hit my marks.”

Flick ran second in the early going. Felmlee dipped to the inside in turns one and two and he powered by Flick. Felmlee gave chase, but he was unable to get close enough to Farnham to challenge for the lead.

A red for Nathan McDowell did close up the ranks five laps into the feature. However, Farnham got away cleanly on the restart.

Farnham led the remaining twenty laps without much ado. Felmlee raced in second, several car lengths ahead of his rival for the point championship, Flick. Flick was third. Then came Andy Priest and Bodey McClintock. Andy Cavanaugh and Steven Bright were sixth and seventh. McDowell was scored in eighth.

In the Diehl Chevrolet 410 Sprint Cars, there was only one heat. The win went to Bob Felmlee. There was no B Main.

Chad Reitz and Steve Slater had the front row for the Pitt Stop Pub 358 Modifieds. Phil Vigneri and Nick Joy were in the second row. Point leader Ayden Cipriano lined up next to Hayden Holden. Tom Holden and Lenny Leibold, III were in row four.

Chad Reitz wrestled the lead away from Steve Slater on the opening lap. However, on lap two, Phil Vigneri got inside of Slater to take tghe position away, and Slater spun, ending his night. The restart put Vigneri on the front row, and he soon assumed command.

Reitz continued in second, with Joy running in third. Joy had some difficulties on laps thirteen and fourteen, causing yellows on each of those laps. That moved Tom Holden into third for the restart, followed by Cipriano and Leibold.

Although Vigneri led the final six laps, he had to be getting nervous because his car developed a miss about three laps from the finish. He held on, though, to claim the win.

“I didn’t know if I could make it to the end,” he said. “But, I was going to make sure that it did.”

Reitz got second with his Ford powered 358 Modified. Cipriano, Joy, and Tom Holden took the top five spots. Then came Leibold, Hayden Holden, and Slater.

The Pitt Stop Pub 358 Modifieds also had one heat race. The victory went to Phil Vigneri. There was no B Main.

Zack Wilson and Blaze Myers paced the Hovis Auto & Truck Supply RUSH Weekly Sprint Car feature. Chad Ruhlman and A.J. McQuarrie were in row two. The third row matched Gale Ruth, Jr. and John Mollick. Row four belonged to Arnie Kent and Brian Hartzell. The fifth row paired Rick Tucker, Jr. and Brian Cressley. In the sixth row, Billy Myers was inside of Rick Regalski.

Blaze Myers grabbed the early lead, followed by Ruhlman, Mollick, Ruth, and Cressley. Ruhlman challenged early, but then dropped back into second as the race went on.

Mollick set a steady pace and he overhauled Ruhlman near the halfway mark. On lap thirteen, he tracked down and passed Myers. Myers fought back for a couple of laps, but Mollick was not to be denied.

After Mollick and Blaze Myers were Ruhlman, Wilson, and Ruth. Kent, Cressley, Hartzell, Zach Morrow, and Joe Buccola completed the top ten.

The Hovis Auto & Truck Supply Weekly Series for RUSH Sprint Cars presented a pair of heats. The wins belonged to Chad Ruhlman and John Mollick. There was no B Main.

“Slow Ride” David Scott raced to the lead from his third starting spot and he controlled the pace through the A & MP electric, Inc. UMP Modifeds. Mike Potosky, the primary sponsor for the contest, ran second. Alan Atkinson, Bruce Dreistadt, and Gary Sullivan completed the field. The fifteen lapper went non-stop.

Scott has the distinction of winning in four different classes at Tri-City Raceway Park, including 410 Sprint Cars and Super Late Models. He also won a special race consisting of Super Late Models and Big Block Modifieds held in 2005.

The A & MP electric, Inc. UMP Modifieds had a single qualifier. The winner of that event was Mike Potoski. There was no B Main.

Josh Seippel was a winner for the third race in a row in the Hovis Auto & Truck Supply Pro Stocks. His was a race of attrition, as only three cars finished the main event.

There was a major crash around lap five that took out several contenders.

Following Seippel across the line was Chargin Charlie McMillen and Matt Bernard. Pat Fielding was credited with fourth and Rod Laskey, fifth. Jake Whitling, Andrew Hammond, Tyler Wyant, and Aaron Smith were the other competitors.

In the Hovis Auto & Truck Supply Pro Stocks, Josh Seippel captured the lone heat race. There was no B Main.

Dillon Morrison was the surprise winner in the 4 Your Car Connection Four Cylinder Mini Stocks. Points leader Matt Urey seemed to have the race well in hand, but a mechanical failure knocked him out of the race. For the restart, Joe Campbell and Tim Callahan had the front row, but Campbell missed a shift and Morrison slipped into the lead.

Campbell recovered to finish second, with Callahan third. Matt Daugherty was fourth and Chad Greeley was fifth. Urey, Thomas Warren, and Kevin Wice were the other competitors.

The 4 Your Car Connection Four Cylinder Mini Stocks had one preliminary. The victory belonged to Matt Urey.

Tri-City Raceway Park will close out the 2023 racing season with the big holiday weekend bash. Points will be awarded for all of the track’s regular classes. Friday will be an open practice session. Saturday will have the BRP Modified Tour headline the card, with support provided by the Hovis Auto & Truck Supply Pro Stocks, the 4 Your Car Connection Four Cylinder Mini Stocks, and the Old Skool Kool Vintage Tour.

Johnny Smith is King of Sprints at Clinton County Speedway

Mill Hall, PA – Scranton’s Johnny Smith had a stellar night Friday night at the Clinton County Speedway claiming both the Race Saver Sprints and 600 Micro Sprint feature events. AY Schilling won the Pro Stocks; Brayden Spencer won the 270s and Matt Weaver won the 4 Cylinders.

Dale Schweikart and Jacob Gomola led the field of sprint cars to the green flag. Gomola quickly took the lead over Smith and Schweikart. By lad number five it was Gomola leading, Smith, Derek Swartz, Schweikart and Matt Tebbs. Smith found the high side of the speedway to his liking, while Gomola was running the mid-line of the speedway. On lap number seven Smith made a pass as the duo exited turn two, but the caution came out for Wyatt Walizer before the lap was complete, putting Gomola on point for the restart. When the race resumed, Smith immediately moved back to the outside where his car was quickest and passed Gomola a second time in turns one and two.

By lap number 14, Smith began to encounter lapped traffic. Smith and Gomola weaved their way through the lapped cars with Smith continuing to use the faster way around the outside of the speedway. By lap twenty, the lapped cars began to slow Smith’s pace allowing Gomola to close in on the race leader. On lap twenty three the caution came out when John Walp slowed on the back stretch, setting up a two lap dash to the finish. Smith, now in open air, got a quick start to hold off Gomola for the win. Swartz finished third, Schweikart fourth, and Ryan Lynn fifth. Sixth through tenth were Matt Tebbs, Dustin Prettyleaf, Timmy Bittner, Josh Beamer and Kruz Kepner.

“The track had grip at the top and our car does very well up there,” said Smith in victory lane. “I was able to get around lapped traffic, but when that caution came out it put us in clean air, and I knew I could get a strong start to hold off Jake.”

Heat races were won by Matt Tebbs and Todd Lynn.

Smith continued his winning ways by also capturing the 600 Micro Sprint feature. His brother Mikey Smith led the first lap, until Johnny Smith took the lead. The Smith brothers continued to run first and second the entire event. JT Ferry ran third until lap number nine when Corey Stabley moved into third. At the finish it was Johnny over Mikey Smith, Stabley, Ferry and Mitchell Holden for the caution free event. Heat races were won by the Smith brothers.

AJ Hoffman led the first three circuits of the Pro Stock main event. AY Schilling advanced from the fourth starting spot to take the lead by the conclusion of lap number four. AJ Stroup who started sixth took over second place on lap number five. A caution for Noah Kissinger regrouped the field that set up an intense battle at the front of the back. At the halfway point Schilling, Stroup, Noah Jensen Brandon Moser and Cory Long were all in contention for the win. Moser moved into third postion on lap number eleven, while Long took control of fourth spot on lap number 13. Schilling won his 60th career feature event, by holding off Stroup, Moser, Long and Johnny Bouse. Sixth through tenth were Jensen, Kissinger, Marc Bitler, Brent Gordner and Kris Orwig Sr. Heats were won by Bouse and Hoffman

Shawn Musser started on the pole of the 270 Micro Sprint feature event. Musser led with fifth place starter Cory Stabley giving chase in second place. Brayden Spencer, who started eighth, moved into third by lap number four. On lap number seven, the caution flag waved. While under caution, Musser took his car to the pit area giving the lead to Stabley. The caution flag waved a second time with only two laps remaining. Spencer made a pass on the restart and would lead the final two laps for this first win of the season. Stabel was second followed by Denny Rinehimer, Mac Wert, and Tyler Puterbaugh. Sixth through tenth were Tom Quiggle, Coleton Eckroth, Hunter Zimmerman, Jillian Maurer and Logan Hammaker. Heat races were won by Stabley and Eckroth

Front row starter Terry Karichner led the opening lap of the Four Cylinder feature event. Hunter Flook took the lead by the completion of lap number two. Fifth place starter Matt Weaver moved into second by lap number five. At the midway point, Flook was leading Weaver, Zak Kline, Skylar Phillps and Kyler Stahl. On lap number eight, Weaver made a pass for the lead and the leader began to encounter lapped traffic by lap number ten. A caution came out with two laps remaining, but Weaver was able to hold off Flook to win his first career victory. Flook, Phillps, Kline and Stahl finished in the top five. Sixth through tenth were Cody Stover, Adman Harris, Gage Riggle, Joey Snook and Michael Barrett. Heats were won by Weaver, Riggle, and Phillips

Tanner Wins in ESS Return to Drummond, Picks up Canadian Tour Championship

By Curtis Berleue (Drummondville, QC) | For the second time in 2023, Matt Tanner found himself in Empire Super Sprints victory lane on Saturday night, this time at the Autodrome Drummond in Drummondville, QC.

Starting alongside Pinnacle Pole Award winner Bryan Cloutier, Tanner was able to take the lead on lap 2 from Cloutier. For the next handful of laps, Tanner would extend his lead and remain unchallenged.

Meanwhile, local favorite and current tour point leader Jordan Poirier was rapidly making his way forward from his 10th starting position. By lap three he cracked the top 5, and then moved into the runner-up position on lap 8 and immediately set his sights on Tanner.

As the field clicked off lap 15, Poirier briefly slipped by Tanner, before Tanner reclaimed the lead from him just two laps later. With one lap remaining, Poirier made a last-ditch effort to take the lead from Tanner, but ultimately fell all the way to 6th. As such, 7th starting Danny Varin inherited the second spot as the field crossed the finish line, and Shawn Donath would move up one spot into third as well to round out the podium.

“We weren’t very good in hot laps, honestly,” said Tanner. “We changed quite a bit of stuff for the heat race and were able to get the heat win.”

“I didn’t really think that Jordan (Poirier) was going to come from tenth to pass me, but when he went by me, he kinda showed me what to do honestly. To get this win is pretty cool, it’s the first time in probably 6 or 7 years that I have won two ESS races in the same year.”

“The fans up here bring so much excitement. It’s like a big party compared to down in the states. It’s like the 4th of July with the fireworks, you come out of the flames for driver intros. When I got out of the car in victory lane, it’s like you’re at a concert with the crowd cheering and music going – it’s a pretty cool deal.”

Danny Varin ultimately came home in second.

“The car was really good, it was pretty late when the car got going there,” said Varin. “It’s a great experience being up here in Canada - to walk away with a third last night and second tonight, the team is super happy.”

Shawn Donath rounded out the Ashley Lynn Winery podium.

“I just ended up picking the wrong lanes at the wrong time tonight,” said Donath. “I should have been on the bottom earlier, and should have gotten to the top sooner than I got back to it. All in all, it was a good night and a good solid finish.

By virtue of his win, Matt Tanner is also the 2023 Coffrage 4 Saisons Canadian Tour champion by just one point over Jordan Poirier. Jeff Cook, Dylan Swiernik and Jason Barney rounded out the top 5.

With 19 cars signed in for the nights action, the field was split into 3 timed hot lap groups. Jeff Cook, Jason Barney and Jordan Poirier picked up Rifenburg Contracting fast time awards in the respective groups. E&V Energy heat wins went to Matt Tanner, Dalton Rombough and Jordan Poirier.

The next scheduled event for the Empire Super Sprints is this coming Friday, September 1 at the Brewerton Speedway in Brewerton, NY.

Starks Superb in Outlaw Tuneup

8/26/23

Alger, WA - With the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprints Cars coming next week for the Sage Fruit Skagit Nationals, Trey Starks got his program tuned up for The Greatest Show on Dirt by scoring the $4,350 win in the Karmart USA Superstores 410 class on Saturday night at Skagit Speedway. It was Fastenal night at the races and joining Starks as winners on the night were Levi Klatt and Brian Michelson.

The formula was simple for Starks - get out to the lead, and never look back. That’s exactly how Trey executed his plan, as he led all 30 laps of the main event while only being seriously challenged on restarts as he picked up the victory. Trey was followed to the line by Jason Solwold and Luke Didiuk. Starks was the fast qualifier, while heat race wins went to Colby Thornhill and Eric Fisher. Solwold won the dash and an extra $400 from Gravity Coffee.

The Sportsman Sprint main was trending toward another epic showdown between Eric Fisher and Levi Klatt, until bad luck threw a wrench in the equation. Fisher had led the first 11 laps before the pair moved into the back of the field, where Klatt looked to make his move. Racing hard into turn one on lap 12, Klatt found room at the bottom of the track, forcing Fisher to the high groove. Just ahead of the pair, a slower car looped around in the upper portion of the track and Fisher clipped him on the way by, causing serious damage and ending Eric’s evening. With Fisher done, Klatt would go on to dominate the rest of the feature, leading the rest of the way for the win. Levi Kuntz and Brett McGhie rounded out the podium. Fisher was fast time and won his heat race. Klatt and Keira Zylstra won the other heats.

Brian Michelson picked up the win in the Hornet class, passing Mike Guffey on lap four and surviving multiple cautions over the rest of the way for the win. Steve Peters drove from dead last to take home second place, while Ian Buck came in third. Peters and Michelson won the heat races.

Golobic, Brown, Baldwin and Shrum surge to Legends Night wins at Placerville Speedway

By Gary Thomas

Placerville, CA…Race fans certainly got their money’s worth on Legends Night at Placerville Speedway, as Shane Golobic captured an entertaining Winged 360 Sprint Car feature, while Michael Faccinto wrapped up his first career track championship.

A packed house on Saturday also saw Lincoln’s Dan Brown Jr. snag the win with the Anrak Ltd. Late Models and Diamond Springs’ Dan Jinkerson lock up the track title for the third straight year.

Oakley’s Nick Baldwin capped off his fifth Red Hawk Casino Pure Stock championship in style with a victory in the main event, with Lincoln’s Dylan Shrum earning another triumph in the Nor-Cal Dwarf Car Association feature. Rio Oso driver Landon Brooks finished off the Western Sprint Tour Speedweek South title as well on Saturday.

The 25-lap Thompson’s Winged Sprint Car finale began with excitement as Colby Copeland and Andy Forsberg exchanged the lead multiple times at the start. The duo got extremely close together at one point in turn four, which forced Forsberg to make a great save to continue. Copeland then felt pressure from Fremont’s Shane Golobic, as several drivers battled it out behind them.

With action all over the track the top three cars began to bunch up as lapped traffic came into play. Golobic had his opening on lap 13 and made the move to assume the point, relegating Copeland back to second. Forsberg then found a new life and was right in the thick of it when things changed on lap 18. With a pair of cars sitting idle in turn four, the field had to take evasive action, which resulted in Forsberg getting caught by another car near the infield k-rail, ultimately ending his night.

Golobic then clicked off the final seven laps for his 13th career Winged 360 Sprint Car triumph at Placerville Speedway, which paid $4,850-to-win aboard his Matt Wood Racing/ NOS Energy Drink No. 17w. Copeland, Justin Sanders, Landon Brooks and Tanner Carrick completed the top-five.

The top-10 was rounded out by 15th starting Dylan Bloomfield, Michael Faccinto, Justyn Cox, Ryan Bernal and Kalib Henry. Faccinto’s seventh place run was good enough to lock up his initial Placerville Speedway title. He becomes the fourth different driver to claim a track championship for Friends & Family Racing, joining Andy Forsberg, David Robinson Jr. and Mason Moore.

Faccinto began the evening by earning the $850 Fast Time Award thanks to ADCO Driveline and Sierra Foothills Wine Service. His lap of 10.833 paced the 40-car field in time trials.

Sprint Car results: 1. 17W-Shane Golobic[3]; 2. 5V-Colby Copeland[1]; 3. 2X-Justin Sanders[7]; 4. 94X-Landon Brooks[11]; 5. 83T-Tanner Carrick[6]; 6. 83V-Dylan Bloomfield[15]; 7. X1-Michael Faccinto[4]; 8. 42X-Justyn Cox[14]; 9. 22-Ryan Bernal[16]; 10. 17-Kalib Henry[8]; 11. 29-Willie Croft[10]; 12. 21X-Gauge Garcia[20]; 13. 15-Michael Sellers[19]; 14. 12-Steven Snawder[9]; 15. 92-Andy Forsberg[2]; 16. 7C-Tony Gomes[12]; 17. 21-Shane Hopkins[17]; 18. 83SA-Isaiah Vasquez[5]; 19. 5H-Josh Wiesz[13]; 20. 1K-Kinzer Cox[18]

The 20-lap main event for the Anrak Corporation Ltd. Late Models saw a dominating performance turned in by Dan Brown Jr. aboard the Ahart Racing/ Jenson Constriction No. 15 machine. The multi-time Placerville Speedway track champion pulled away from the field in impressive fashion over the course of the contest and was never seriously challenged.

Brown eventually accepted the Ron Stahl checkered flag for his 15th career Late Model win at the track, which ranks number four on the all-time list. Paul Gugliomoni came home in second, with Wayne Trimble third, recent winner Matt Micheli in fourth and birthday boy Rod Oliver in fifth. Dan Jinkerson crossed the stripe in sixth and finished off his third consecutive Anrak Late Model title.

Late Model results: 1. 15-Dan Brown Jr[1]; 2. 22G-Paul Gugliomoni[2]; 3. 71T-Wayne Trimble[3]; 4. 96M-Matt Micheli[5]; 5. 57-Rod Oliver[4]; 6. 23-Dan Jinkerson[9]; 7. 115-Chris Mcginnis[8]; 8. 37-Ray Trimble[7]; 9. 54-Matt Davis[10]; 10. 23J-Tyler Lightfoot[11]; 11. 42F-Les Friend[13]; 12. 25-Cole Ciraulo[12]; 13. 23A-Kevin Jinkerson[14]; 14. 71-Shawn DeForest[6]

The Red Hawk Casino Pure Stock main event showcased some thrilling moments right down to the wire. Oakley’s Nick Baldwin started from the front row, but things were definitely not easy for the veteran. Auburn’s Thomas Arbogast has been fast all season long and found the high-line to his liking on Saturday night.

As Baldwin ran consistent laps up front, Arbogast began cutting away at his advantage while running the cushion. With race fans on the edge of their seats it was anybody’s race over the final circuits. The final lap saw Arbogast give it one final shot upstairs, but Baldwin was calm, cool and collected en route to narrowly accepting the checkered flag for his 25th career win.

It marked the fourth straight Red Hawk Casino Pure Stock championship for Baldwin and his fifth overall. Arbogast, Kevin Jinkerson, Kenny Bernstein and Clarence Holbrook rounded out the top-five.

Pure Stock results: 1. 17-Nick Baldwin[2]; 2. 86-Thomas Arbogast[7]; 3. 30-Kevin Jinkerson[11]; 4. 43-Kenny Bernstein[1]; 5. 2H-Clarence Holbrook[4]; 6. 1-Chris D'angelo[9]; 7. 55-Micky Dangelo[6]; 8. 92-Jay Bryant[10]; 9. 5-Jakob Doke[8]; 10. 93-Mel Byers[12]; 11. 23-Tyler Lightfoot[3]; 12. 54-Vigna Anthony[5]

The 20-lap Nor-Cal Dwarf Car Association main event also provided fans with some entertaining competition on the red clay. Fairfield veteran Mike “Spanky” Grenert held command out front over much of the contest, as he looked to make it two wins in a row at Placerville Speedway.

Behind him though cars raced on every inch of the bullring and put on an excellent show. Lincoln’s Dylan Shrum had already picked off a pair of wins at the track this season and eventually began to work the high-side in his pursuit of the top-spot.

Shrum finally got the run he needed on lap 16 as Grenert also got loose off the fourth corner. After that Shrum raced away to record victory number three on the season at Placerville over brother Cody in second, Ben Wiesz third, Kevin “Hollywood” Bender in fourth and Mike Reeder fifth.

Dwarf Car results: 1. 31N-Dylan Shrum[7]; 2. 69N-Cody Shrum[2]; 3. 57N-Ben Wiesz[10]; 4. 9N-Kevin Bender[5]; 5. 72N-Mike Reeder[6]; 6. 12N-Mike Grenert[3]; 7. 15N-Shawn Whitney[8]; 8. 8N-Aron Mosier[11]; 9. 32N-Dan Geil[15]; 10. 41N-Brandon Aylesworth[16]; 11. 29N-Corey Eaton[4]; 12. 99N-Gage Meyers[9]; 13. 50N-Brenden Shrum[12]; 14. 42N-Isaak Geil[13]; 15. 05N-Tim Dodson[20]; 16. 94N-Denny Hannel[21]; 17. 30N-April Halliday[14]; 18. 2-Hailey Wiesz[19]; 19. 2N-Shane Thomas[17]; 20. 616N-Tyler Quilty[18]; 21. 19N-Patrick Weger[1]

Gunn, Tucke hold serve; Drown, Lane, Cranmore also visit Wayne County Speedway victory lane

ORRVILLE – Points racing – at least in some forms of motorsports is characterized as boring - which simply translates into driving cautiously.

It was more like ‘throw caution to the wind’ on Saturday evening at Wayne County instead.

For two racers leading their respective points battles heading into the speedway’s ‘O’Reilly Auto Parts’ Chase for the Championship’ double points night presented by Southeastern Equipment, the path to the title was simple; win and wear the crown.

Tyler Gunn – leading Danny Mumaw and Tyler Street by the slimmest of margins – went ‘Mano a Mano’ with Trey Jacobs for all 25 laps before claiming his fourth Pine Tree Towing and Recovery feature win of the season and securing his first track title in the process, while Braden Tucke delivered his best performance of the season when it mattered the most by equaling Gunn’s feat by riding home victorious in the 15-lap McKenzie Concrete Super Stock main event and holding the championship banner in victory lane as well.

Doug Drown returned to his customary spot – in WCS’s victory lane – by scoring his sixth Malcuit Tavern Super Late Model victory. JR Gentry won the war, though, by securing his second track championship with a suspense-filled 11th place finish in the SLM 25-lapper. Drown’s $3,000-to-win march was also the second in the three-race Best Western of Wooster Motel and Conference Center’s King of the County series.

Western Ohio ace Dalton Lane served notice that he’ll be a top contender in next week’s Flynn’s Tire & Service Center King of the County Modified event by scoring his second win of the season in the 20-lap main event - also backed by Flynn’s Tire and Service Center – following a spirited battle with 3-time 2023 winner Nate Young and newly crowned and defending track champion Colton Shaw. Shaw’s third-place run cemented his status among the region’s upper echelon in the process.

Mansfield’s Justin Cranmore – absent from victory lane in 2023 after a four-win 2022 season – joined the party with a hard-fought 12-lap triumph in the JoyRide Mini Stock finale. Doug Hensel, with an equally impressive run from 15th-to-fifth – hoisted the WCS track champion banner for the fourth time in his career.

Gunn, along with Jacobs, opened the early betting lines as heavy favorites in next week’s FAST Series, $10,000-ro-win Pete Jacobs Memorial with a rim-riding duel in the night’s lid lifter. Jacobs closed to within a car length on numerous occasions, with Street, Mumaw, and fourth-place points man Chris Myers never far behind.

The “Machine Gunn” used a strong lap 21 restart in securing the victory, however, with Jacobs, Street, Mumaw, and Myers rounding out the top five.

“I didn’t really know, for sure, where Tyler and Danny were, but l did see Trey’s nose a few times,” said Gunn. “We have this Eikelberry-Sipes car where we had it early in the season and felt really comfortable. I’m not sure what would've happened if Trey had gotten by us as far as the points thing went, but we didn’t start the night with a goal of finishing second or third.

“We’re really looking forward to running my own car at Attica on Friday and Saturday and can’t wait to get back here next Sunday (in the 91).”

Drown has spent most of the summer running in the region’s marquee events but has been dialed in when returning home and Saturday was no exception.

Drown captured the lead on lap three, then withstood challenges from Nathan Loney during the first 19 laps, then held off Cortland-based speedster Eric Wilson during the closing stages. Kyle Moore rode his battered machine home fourth in the caution-filled event, with Todd Brennan racing home fifth from his 23rd starting slot.

“It’s always great to win in front of the hometown crowd, and Jason (track promoter Jason Flory) had this place in perfect shape,” said Drown. “Tonight’s field of cars was incredibly strong, and it’s getting tougher and tougher here. I saw Nathan early on, but we were so good on the top and stuck with it. You just know these guys are coming at you lap after lap.”

The Modifieds hit the 3-8-mile next with arguably the best field of the season to go with it.

Lane – who captured the DirtCar Summer Nationals victory at Oakshade Raceway the night before Painesville’s Nate Young duplicated the feat at WCS earlier this summer – joined Young and Shaw in a spirited battle for the entire 20 laps on Saturday.

Young stayed glued to Lane’s back bumper throughout, and even led on a few occasions with haymaker sliders – the last coming on lap 16 - with Shaw rim-riding the rail in his family-owned General Lee 01 never more than 10 lengths behind.

Lane withstood the challenges, however, and crossed the stripe ahead of Young, Shaw, DJ Cline, and WCS regulars Jimmy Humphrey and Caden Alexander.

“I just love this place, you can get up on the wheel and get after it,” said Lane. “I know how good both Nate and Colton are here, and l just tried to go as hard as l could and hit my marks. We’ll definitely be back next Sunday night.”

The Super Stocks were up next, and for Tucke the strategy was a simple one; finish in the top two spots regardless of where kingpin Kyle Moore, or challengers Rob Melzer and Codee Schneider finished.

Mission accomplished for the newly crowned track champion.

Tucke grabbed the point early, then watched as mechanical problems sent Moore’s 21D into the turn 3 guardrail in the event’s opening laps. Tucke opened a sizable advantage until Schneider continued his late-season blitz by pressuring Tucke’s 18 the final six laps followed by Brandon Craver, Rob Melzer, and Paul Holmes.

“It’s been a stressful couple of months, but our team and family pour everything we have into this thing and l couldn’t be happier we got it done tonight,” said Tucke. “I actually saw Kyle limp around to the infield during the yellow, and still saw him sitting there when we got the one to go on the radio. I just ran as hard as l could after that, but l knew Codee would be coming, because with double points everyone was racing their hardest.

“We sat out to do this (win the championship), and l couldn’t be happier for our whole team.”

The Mini Stocks brought down the curtain, and for what seemed like the umpteenth time this season, unpredictability was the theme of the night.

Cody Musselman, who had been fast all season long but without a victory, bolted to a big lead early before the red waved for a David Potter flip in turn 4. Potter walked away from his battered machine but was done for the night.

After the green reappeared, Cranmore, along with title contender Anthony Collins, Johnny Bruce Sr, and newly minted champion Doug Hensel in tow. Hensel started 15th after a heat race incident relegated the 18 to the rear of the field.

Cranmore pushed his familiar black No. 2 to the front on lap 8 and cruised home to his first win of the season ahead of a fast closing of “The Racing Prophet Collins”, Bruce, and Hensel.

“i guess getting to victory lane late is better than never,” said Cranmore. “We’ve been fast enough but had some bad luck early on then we took a few weeks off. Hopefully we can finish the season strong.”

The speedway returns to action next Sunday evening Sept. 3, with one of its biggest shows of the season. The FAST Series sprint cars will vie for the $10,000-to-win Pete Jacobs Memorial, while the open 305 sprint cars make their first appearance of the season. The Super Late Models will again race for a $3,000 prize with the Modifieds racing for an increased purse in their second of three King of the County events. The Super Stocks also join the card on the Labor Day weekend classic.

Look for details and a preview of Sunday night’s action on all of Wayne County Speedway’s social media outlets later this week.

(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) August 25, 2023 – After finishing in a season-ending points deadlock, Will Sorce of Franklin and 2010 Plymouth Dirt Track Racing Grand National champion Brian Gilles of Plymouth wrapped up the 2023 season as co-champions in the PDTR Grand National division, while two-time PDTR B Mod champion Tim Warner of Malone erased a 20-point deficit in the final points event of the season to add a third division title to his collection, during an eventful 2023 PDTR Grand National and B Mod championship night racing program Friday, Aug. 25 at The Plymouth Dirt Track in Plymouth, Wis.

Two-time Plymouth Dirt Track Racing 360 Sprint Car champion Brandon McMullen of Oshkosh nailed down his third straight and fifth overall Akright Auto PDTR 360 Sprint Car A main victory of the 2023 campaign to remain on top of the division point standings by 14 points over 2011 PDTR 360 Sprint Car champ Ben Schmidt of Plymouth with two events remaining in the season.

In the 20-lap Oostburg Automotive Plymouth Dirt Track Racing Grand National main event, Nick Schumacher of Eagle collected his first A-main victory of the 2023 season.

Elijah Koenig of Fox Lake notched his initial triumph of the 2023 campaign in the Next Step Insurance 20-lap B Mod A-main victory of the 2023 campaign.

The scheduled 30-lap WABAM Dirt Kings Late Model Tour A main was cancelled due to rain.

The initial start of the Akright Auto PDTR – Midwest Sprint Car Association 360 Sprint Car A main was aborted when Katelyn Krebsbach of Cascade spun in turn two. Following a complete restart, outside front row starter Chris Larson of Franksville jumped into the lead in turn two on the opening lap with polesitter Brandon McMullen following in second.

On lap 2, McMullen dove low to secure the top spot exiting turn four. With McMullen in control at the front of the field, Ben Schmidt worked his way up from the seventh starting position to take third from fourth starter Alex Pokorski of West Bend on lap 9.

One lap later, Schmidt shot past Larson to gain the runner-up spot as McMullen began to work his way through slower traffic. Schmidt cut into McMullen’s lead as the laps wound down and was within sight of the top spot when the second and final caution flag of the race was displayed on lap 24 after Chris Clayton of Waldo spun in turn three.

Following a single-file restart, McMullen held off Schmidt’s challenge over the final two laps en route to his division-topping 32nd career PDTR 360 Sprint Car A-main victory and 44th career MSA 360 Sprint main event triumph, along with his third consecutive and fifth overall PDTR A-main victory of the 2023 season.

Schmidt had to settle for second, Pokorski pulled off a final corner pass to finish third, Larson earned a career-best fourth place showing and rookie Tristan Koenings of Van Dyne, who started third, claimed a career-best fifth place finish.

Outside front row starter Donny Kulow of Plymouth grabbed the lead on the opening lap of the 20-lap PDTR Grand National A Main with 2019 PDTR Grand National champ Tyler Kulow Plymouth, who started fourth, settling into second.

The first of three caution flags appeared on lap 2 when Vince Bartolotta of Muskego spun in turn two. On the restart, Tyler Kulow rode the high groove to sweep into the lead on lap 3 before the second caution flag flew when Seth Westimayer of Horicon

spun in turn two.

Following the restart, Donny Kulow and 2008 PDTR Grand National champion Matt Yancey of Sheboygan, who started on the pole, waged a spirited duel for the top spot.

On lap 5, the third and final caution flag appeared when Bartolotta spun in turn four. When the race resumed Donny Kulow remained in the lead while Yancey, Tyler Kulow and Nick Schumacher, who started 10th, dueled in three-wide fashion for second.

Schumacher emerged in second place on lap 7 and quickly set his sights on the lead. On lap 9, Schumacher ventured up to the high groove to pressure Donny Kulow before taking control of the top spot in turn one on lap 10.

Eighth starter Justin Pearson of Horicon moved into second on lap 11 and worked the high line to cut the gap on Schumacher in the closing laps. Six laps later, Pearson moved in to pressure Schumacher for the lead starting on lap 17.

However, Schumacher successfully fended off Pearson’s challenge on the way to his second career PDTR Grand National A-main victory and first main event win of the 2023 season at The Plymouth Dirt Track.

Pearson wound up second, Will Sorce of Franklin moved up from the ninth starting spot to place third, Donny Kulow finished fourth and Brian Gilles, who started seventh, placed fifth.

Sorce and Gilles closed out the final Grand National points race program of the 2023 PDTR season tied at the top of the point standings with 855 points apiece to end up as division co-champions. It marked the first PDTR Grand National championship of Sorce’s career. Gilles claimed his second PDTR Grand National title and seventh overall Plymouth track championship (five Eastern Wisconsin Stock Car Super Stock, two PDTR Grand National) to move into second on the track’s all-time track championship list behind Gary Laack, who has nine Plymouth track titles to his credit.

It is the first time two drivers have secured co-championship honors at The Plymouth Dirt Track since the 1995 season when Rick Hed and Tim Thompson shared the Eastern Wisconsin Stock Car Hobby Stock track title.

Outside front row starter Steve Lorier of Sheboygan Falls grabbed the lead on the opening lap of the 20-lap PDTR B Mod main event with fourth starter Elijah Koenig trailing in second.

After a spirited duel with Lorier, Koenig used the outside groove to power into the top spot in turn two on lap 5. On lap 8, with his eyes set firmly on securing another B Mod track title, Tim Warner, who started sixth, moved past Lorier into second in turn two on lap 8.

While Warner gradually reeled in Koenig during the second half of the race, seventh starter Travis Schmidt of Plymouth moved in to take third on lap 17. Warner cut the gap significantly on the final lap. However, Koenig held on to rack up his fourth career PDTR B Mod A-main victory and first main event triumph of the 2023 campaign at Plymouth in the caution-free race.

Warner secured his third PDTR B Mod championship with a second place finish, Schmidt placed third, Lorier wound up fourth and eighth starter Shane Long of Sheboygan Falls placed fifth.

After entering a car in 10 of the 11 PDTR Mod events held during the 2023 campaign, Warner came into the night 20 points behind PDTR B Mod points leader Barry Maas of Cascade. Warner used a heat race victory and a second place finish in the A main to edge Travis Schmidt by two points (863-861) in the chase for the 2023 title. Maas encountered a mechanical issue in heat race action, which prevented him from starting the A main and competing for a B Mod championship.

Brett Swedberg of Shawano was the WABAM Dirt Kings Late Model Tour fast qualifier with a lap of 13.691 seconds.

Brandon McMullen earned the Akright Auto PDTR-MSA 360 Sprint Car division fast qualifier award with a lap of 12.783 seconds.

The 15th event of the 2023 PDTR campaign, which was sponsored by Kriete Truck Center, drew a total of 78 cars, including 25 WABAM Dirt Kings Tour Late Models, 21 PDTR-MSA 360 Sprint Cars, 19 Grand Nationals and 13 B Mods.

The next Plymouth Dirt Track Racing program will take place during the 2023 Sheboygan County Fair on Saturday, Sept. 2, featuring an all-Sprint Car event with the Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series and Plymouth Dirt Track Racing-Midwest Sprint Car Association 360 Sprint Cars.

On-track action is scheduled to begin at 5 p.m.

Pirtek Renegades

New Richmond, WI, August 26, 2023

After nearly a month away from home, the traditional sprints of the Pirtek Renegades returned to Cedar Lake Speedway on a temperate late summer evening for a night of action on the high banks. Twenty two teams signed in at the back gate to battle in three qualifying heat races. Pirtek heat 1 saw the visiting Northern Renegade chauffeur Ken Hron claim the win, while Cam Schafer continued his red hot summer with the Renegades in wrapping up RTS Podcast heat 2. Hoosier Tire heat 3 went to the Britt, Minnesota, hot shoe Nick DaRonco. Schafer led all competitors with an impressive 153 passing points.

Johnny Parsons III and Jake Kouba redrew the front row for the 20-lap finale, with the #6 of Kouba squirting to the point early. Just two laps in, the third row of Nick DaRonco and Cam Schafer were already up to third and fourth, behind Kouba and Jori Hughes. After a lap six caution, the top four of Kouba, DaRonco, Schafer and Hughes started to break away from the rest of the field with DaRonco and Schafer locking horns in a real slobber-knocker of a battle for second. With only five laps remaining, Schafer finally emerged solidly into the runner-up position and set sail for Kouba. Schafer threw a slide job at Kouba in turn two with two laps to go, taking over the top spot. At the double checkers, it was Schafer claiming his sixth Pirtek Renegade victory of the summer - in only seven events with the series. Kouba crossed the stripe in second in front of DaRonco and Hughes. Zach Widdes charged up seven positions from twelfth to round out the top five.

Next up for the Renegades is an opportunity to head west for the long Labor Day weekend and compete with the Western Renegades at River Cities Speedway in Grand Forks, North Dakota, on Friday, September 1. Then on Saturday and Sunday, the teams venture even further west, to Crary, ND, and the Devils Lake Speedway for the annual North Dakota Non-Wing Nationals. The next Renegade home game is set for the following weekend, September 9, when the traditionals are part of the annual Jerry Richert celebration at Cedar Lake. More information on upcoming events for the Pirtek Renegades, as well as links to other Renegades series, can be found at www.umsprints.com, or on facebook.

Gavin Miller Maneuvers to Davenport Speedway Victory with POWRi/Xtreme Midgets
Belleville, IL. (8/26/23) Gavin Miller would hard-charge past ten other drivers to earn the feature win at Davenport Speedway in Davenport Iowa with the POWRi National Midget League, running in conjunction with the Xtreme Outlaw Midget Series presented by Toyota, in Night Two of the Quad Cities 150 to capture his second career league victory after leading the final thirteen laps of the thirty-lap feature event.

Early on-track excitement in the POWRi National Midget League, running in conjunction with the Xtreme Outlaw Midget Series, would find Ryan Timms once again starting the action off with a quick time in group qualifying of a 14.294-second lap as Zach Daum, Chase McDermand, and Cannon McIntosh each would earn heat racing wins.

Organizing the feature field would find high-point qualifier Cannon McIntosh roll an invert of four with Jade Avedisian and Ryan Timms making the front row. Competing for the prized position as the green flag flew would see the inside line momentum of Jade Avedesian gain the initial advantage on the opening lap over Cannon McIntosh, Chase McDermand, Ryan Timms, and Jacob Denney all racing inside the top five.

Clinging to a slight advantage through the first third of the feature event, Jade Avedisian would out-pace Cannon McIntosh as the pair separated from the field with Ryan Timms, Jacob Denney, and Taylor Reimer running inside the top ten after caution bunched the field back together.

Running smoothly into the halfway point with Avedisian protecting the lead over McIntosh and Timms running inside the podium, Gavin Miller would find speed running the low line to move into the fourth position with teammate Taylor Reimer running fifth as Karter Sarff, Zach Daum, Corbin Rueschenberg, Chase McDermand, and Hayden Reinbold inside the top-ten.

Benefiting from a mid-event restart, Gavin Miller would overtake for the lead using an inside-line maneuver in turn one on lap eighteen with Ryan Timms and Cannon McIntosh also getting past the one-time leading Avedisian.

Holding steady while restarting with the lead, Gavin Miller would stick to the speedy low line with Cannon McIntosh moving into the runner-up spot while trying to gain on the leader as drama would be displayed in cautions waving with four laps remaining.

Separating from the pack while holding steady out front late, Gavin Miller would not be denied in the feature event to earn his second feature win of 2023 with the POWRi National Midget League as Ryan Timms would finish a runner-up.

“This feels really rewarding, about halfway through the race I felt some moisture at the bottom and knew we had speed to move forward as long as I hit my marks,” said Gavin Miller in the Davenport Speedway victory lane festivities. Adding, “I can’t thank this whole team enough for giving me this opportunity.”

Remaining resilient for the full feature would see the leader of seventeen laps Jade Avedisian finalize the podium placements with Cannon McIntosh finishing fourth as Night One winner Zach Daum rounded out the POWRi National Midget League top-five finishers at Davenport Speedway running in conjunction with the Xtreme Outlaw Midget Series Night Two.

Jeff Cook Wires ESS Field at Autodrome Granby

By Curtis Berleue (Granby, QC) | In what will be his final trip to the Autodrome Granby, it was Jeff Cook who led flag to flag Friday night en-route to a $3,000 victory. With weather playing a major role in the day’s activities, the nights format was altered to include just untimed hot laps and the 25 lap A-Main for the Empire Super Sprints. The top 6 in current points redrew for the top 6 starting positions, and the remainder of the field was set according to points.

After the draw was completed, Pinnacle Pole Award winner Jeff Cook lined up alongside current point leader Jordan Poirier for the 25-lap main event. Jumping out to an early lead was Cook over Poirier and Barney.

By lap 5, 8th-starting Paulie Colagiovanni had worked his way into the top 5 and charged to the inside of Barney for the third spot on lap 7. As Cook reached lap traffic on lap 12, both Poirier and Colagiovanni had begun to close the gap between them.

The first caution of the event would come out just one lap later as 5th-running Shawn Donath slowed on the front stretch. On the ensuing restart, Cook again jumped out to the lead and began to rebuild the gap between himself and Poirier.

Misfortune would then strike the #10c of Colagiovanni on lap 20, as his engine expired at the same time as the caution was waving for a spinning Keith Granholm.

Poirier was able to make one final charge to the outside of Cook on the restart, but was ultimately unsuccessful, as Cook completed his wire-to-wire performance and crossed under the checkered flag with nearly a two-second lead.

“That last caution we had there, the car got to 280 (degrees),” said Cook. “We just kept pushing through, it was either going to go or blow.”

“This is my last race here; I can’t believe the crowd. This place has always been awesome, it’s treated me well and this is a hell of a way to end it.”

Jordan Poirier started in second and ran there through the entirety of the race. Rounding out the Ashley Lynn Winery podium was Danny Varin, who came from his 7th starting spot to finish third.

The next scheduled event for the Empire Super Sprints is tonight, Saturday August 26th at the Autodrome Drummond in Drummondville, QC.

KAEDING WINS SPRINT CAR FINALE IN WATSONVILLE WHILE FIVE CHAMPIONS CROWNED

WATSONVILLE, CALIFORNIA (August 25, 2023) – The 2023 championship season concluded at Ocean Speedway on Friday night with five champions crowned. Bud Kaeding earned his second win of the season in the curtain call for the Ocean Sprints presented by Taco Bravo. Watsonville’s Rickey Sanders added to the legacy of the Sanders family in Watsonville by claiming the 2023 360 Sprint Car championship as well.

Jake Haulot of Cotati led time trials on a challenging track surface before the Gizdich Ranch Dash was claimed by Kaeding, earning him the pole for the 30-lap feature.

Kaeding and Caeden Steele of Fresno banged wheels into turn one on the opening lap, and both were briefly off the ground with all four wheels up. Kaeding kept control of the No. 69 entry to lead lap one. Kaeding then bounced through the first corner again, allowing Steele to soar underneath and lead lap two.

Glenn Bryan of Capitola then flipped wildly in the same set of corners for a red flag. He was uninjured. Steele led Kaeding and Sanders into lapped traffic. A bobble by Steele on the cushion in turn four allowed Kaeding to jump into the lead on lap 14. Both Steele and Sanders collided with the lapped car of Richard Fajardo of Hollister. Sanders slowed with damage to bring out a caution flag on that lap. Sanders was unable to rejoin the race because of the incident but clinched the championship.

Steele could not challenge Kaeding for the lead on the restart and fell into a battle with Grant Duinkerken of Riverdale. Duinkerken moved underneath Steele to take second on lap 21.

Kaeding enjoyed a 2.178 second advantage at the checkered flag for both the race and for the 2023 season of 360 Sprint Car racing. Duinkerken, Steele, Haulot, and Jeremy Chisum of Salinas were the top-five finishers. The Beer Optics Hard Luck Award was given to Richard Fajardo.

The IMCA Modifieds came into Saturday’s 20-lapper with just one point separating the top three drivers of Bobby Hogge of Salinas, Hall of Famer Jim Pettit II of Prunedale, and Hollister’s Andy Obertello. Hogge’s hopes seemingly went up in smoke in his heat race with mechanical woes. Hogge was able to take over the controls of Austin Burke’s No. 25 for the championship deciding feature, however.

Prunedale’s Fred Lind was the pacesetter of the main event from the pole position. Obertello went airborne over the edge of turn two for a caution on lap one. He was able to rejoin the title fight at the rear of the field.

The top-four of Lind, former champion Cody Burke of Salinas, Pettit, and Hogge ran on top of each other for the first half of the race. Both Lind and Burke went up the hill in turn two, with Pettit and Hogge charging past them. Pettit was credited with the lead on lap 12 bringing Hogge with him in second.

Pettit held off challenges from Hogge over the final eight laps for the feature win, resulting in a tie in the championship in both points and with two wins each. They also equaled each other on seconds and thirds, with the tie breaker making its way all the way to Pettit’s fourth place finish on June 9 breaking the tie in his favor for the championship. Pettit won the race and the title followed by Hogge, Lind, Burke, and Obertello.

IMCA Sport Modifieds also included a close championship duel between Pittsburg’s Chuck Golden and Oakley’s Trevor Clymens. Golden led Clymens by just two points entering the 20-lap race. Teammates Austin McMillin and Aaron Farrell battled hard for the race lead throughout the event. On lap five, Golden was comfortably into the championship lead while running third. Clymens found himself mired in tenth.

The caution flew on lap 17 for heat race winner Jeremy Hoff of Copperopolis stopping in turn four. A three-lap shootout followed with Golden and Farrell colliding hard into turn one for second place. Golden never stopped rolling while Farrell came to a halt with damage.

McMillin led Watsonville’s Steven Allee over the final two laps for the win. Golden restarted third, maintained it to the checkered flag, and clinched the coveted championship. Past champions Jonathan Hagio and Adriane Frost rounded out the top-five finishers.

Joe Gallaher wrapped up his fourth Hobby Stocks championship in a 20-lap feature with a photo finish over his grandson Bobby. Gallaher described the championship moment as the best of his career.

A big crash halted the 20-lap feature when Dan Fassler of San Jose and Watsonville’s Dakota Keldsen collided on the backstretch. Fassler emerged unscathed from his damaged vehicle with assistance from officials.

Wayne Reeder of Watsonville assumed the top spot but slowed and collected Bobby Gallaher for a caution on lap two. Eighth-starting rookie Rosalee Ramer of Watsonville inherited the lead. Joe Gallaher nabbed it from her on lap three. Ramer then struggled with handling issues before retiring the car to the infield.

A caution on lap 13 set the stage for a seven lap shootout between Joe Gallaher and Bobby Gallaher. Bobby hounded Grandpa Joe, diving underneath him in turn four coming to the checkered flag. Joe prevailed by just .006 seconds for his seventh win of the year and his fourth career championship.

Moss Landing’s Jason Lazzerini came into Saturday night with the Four Banger championship already in hand but he capitalized on the energy of championship night, winning his heat race and the busy 20-lap main event.

Amaya Flower of Prunedale led the way from the pole position over a 21-car field. Gene Glover of Visalia closed in through lapped traffic, nabbing the top spot on lap five. The caution flew a lap later for Sara Ayers stopped in turn four. Lazzerini advanced to second from his 12th starting position on lap 11. He then worked to the outside of Glover to lead lap 15.

Lazzerini’s father Kenny suffered a mechanical failure to set up a two-lap sprint to the finish. Jason Lazzerini scored the victory followed by Glover, Jeff Durant of Clovis, Dillon Summers of Santa Cruz, and Flower.

The Ocean Speedway concludes its 2023 season with the 13th annual Pat and Jim Pettit Memorial Shootout on September 29 and 30. The annual event features IMCA Modifieds, IMCA Sport Modifieds, and Hobby Stocks competing. Stay tuned to Ocean Speedway or the Pettit Shootout on Facebook for more details.

Must See Racing Engine Pro Sprint Car Series.

BIRCH RUN, Mich. (Aug. 25, 2023) – A month earlier, Davey Hamilton Jr. said he needed to work on his restarts in order to win with the Must See Racing Engine Pro Sprint Car Series.

Friday night at Birch Run Speedway and Event Center, Hamilton proved that the work he’s put in over recent weeks has paid off.

Hamilton bested open-wheel pavement veteran Bobby Santos III on a mid-race restart and then drove away from Ryan Litt down the home stretch, ending the night in Must See Racing victory lane for the first time.

The third-generation driver wheeled his Kirk Morgan-owned, blue No. 14 to a 2.5-second margin of victory over Litt, leading all 30 laps after passing polesitter Jason Blonde on the initial green flag.

“It feels fantastic to finally be in victory lane with this tour; we’ve worked hard for this,” said Hamilton. “I’m not really a dirty driver … but I know the squeeze I put on Bobby there on that restart was a bit tight. I knew we had the car, though, and that it was my turn to win in this series, and I’m glad we finally conquered that challenge.”

After finishing second multiple times earlier in the season, Hamilton tipped that his motivation was high to get “one more spot” and show that he belonged among the best drivers in the series.

“I just had to stay in the throttle longer, I guess,” he chuckled. “Restarts this year have been my Achilles heel, but tonight showed that we made a big step in the right direction, I think.”

While a five inversion placed incoming point leader Blonde on the pole, his time out front was short-lived as Hamilton roared around the outside to lead the race when the green flag waved to begin the 30-lapper.

Santos followed into second by the lap-five benchmark, but had little to be able to match Hamilton’s pace in the early going until Hamilton reached some slower traffic just before lap 10.

The only slowdown of the main event came one lap prior to halfway, when Anthony McCune slowed to a stop at the top of turns one and two with a mechanical issue.

That led to the double-file restart where Hamilton elected the outside groove for the restart, a decision that ultimately propelled him into the winner’s circle.

Litt snuck past Santos for second on the restart, but could do nothing in the second half but watch Hamilton drive into the distance with what the Canadian termed as “a better car” than what he had.

“My car got super tight in the middle of that race, and then we got lucky with that restart where I could send it down into [turn] one on the high side,” explained Litt. “It stuck well enough, and I almost made the pass … but we were a tick to tight to get it done. Hats off to Davey and his guys on a job well done.”

Santos closed out the podium finishers ahead of Jimmy McCune, who drove from the back of the field to fourth after a damaged tire necessitated a tire change prior to the main event.

Blonde finished fifth after starting on the pole.

Charlie Schultz kicked off the Friday Night Thunder program by setting the fastest time in qualifying around the four-tenths-mile Birch Run oval, turning a lap of 13.602 seconds (105.864 mph) in his familiar No. 9s.

Though he wasn’t able to finish the main event, Schultz accrued enough points in the preliminaries to leave Birch Run unofficially tied with Blonde in the chase for the 2023 Must See Racing sprint car championship.

Rick Holley and Hamilton split the pair of eight-lap heat races held prior to the main event.

The Must See Racing Engine Pro Sprint Car Series season heads to Michigan’s Owosso Speedway for its penultimate race of the season, competing Saturday, Sept. 2 during Labor Day weekend.

Belleville, IL. (8/25/23) Zach Daum would hard-charge through tough competition to earn the feature win at Davenport Speedway in Davenport Iowa with the POWRi National Midget League, running in conjunction with the Xtreme Outlaw Midget Series presented by Toyota, in Night One of the Quad Cities 150 to capture his twenty-third career league victory after leading six late laps of the thirty-lap feature event.

Initial on-track opposition in the POWRi National Midget League, running in conjunction with the Xtreme Outlaw Midget Series, would see Ryan Timms start the action off with a new track record quick time in group qualifying of 14.089-second lap as Ryan Timms and Hayden Reinbold each would earn heat racing wins.

Arranging the feature field would find high-point qualifier Ryan Timms roll an invert of zero with Hayden Reinbold setting the front row. Competing for the prized position as the green flag flew would see the inside line momentum of Ryan Timms gain the initial advantage on the opening laps over Hayden Reinbold, Cannon McIntosh, Corbin Rueschenberg, and Jade Avedisian all racing inside the top five.

Clicking laps off at a rapid pace would witness Ryan Timms establish over a three-second racing advantage out front as the action ensued at a blistering pace behind, Reinbold and McIntosh held steady inside the podium with Zach Daum and Jade Avedisian battling behind the leading pack as well as Rueschenberg, Taylor Reimer, Thomas Meseraull, Gavin Miller, and Kyle Beilman rounded out the running top-ten.

Caution would wave on lap twelve as the field would be bunched back together with Timms maintaining the point position on the field as action continued throughout the pack of talented drivers with Reinbold and Zach Daum within striking distance.

Stretching the lead out front, Ryan Timms would appear to be en route to a dominating finish with less than ten laps remaining before his engine would expire and relishing the lead to Zach Daum as caution would once again wave with five laps left.

Setting the stage for late-race dramatics, Zach Daum would lead the field back to green as Cannon McIntosh would use the restart to his liking by shooting to runner-up with Daum protecting the lead as the checkered flags waved.

Clinching late, Zach Daum would hard-charge to the win in the feature event past eight cars to earn his second feature win of 2023 with the POWRi National Midget League as eighth-starting Cannon McIntosh would finish a runner-up.

“I had to race hard there at the end, I knew we had a really good car tonight and the track fit my style being hammer-down on the bottom,” said Zach Daum in the Davenport Speedway victory lane festivities. Adding, “Feels good to get a win just hope to carry momentum into tomorrow night.”

Remaining resilient for the full feature would see Hayden Reinbold finalize the podium placements with Thomas Meseraull finishing fourth as Taylor Reimer rounded out the POWRi National Midget League top-five finishers at Davenport Speedway running in conjunction with the Xtreme Outlaw Midget Series.

Hutton Win Highlights CRSA Return To The Bullring At Woodhull

Race Report by Kenny Shupp Jr. – August 21st, 2023

(WOODHULL, NY) – Saturday night in the Southern Tier of New York State, the A-Verdi Storage Containers CRSA Sprints powered by Super Gen Products made their return after a five year layoff at Nikki and Terry Brewer’s Woodhull Raceway.

Jeff Trombley would come away victorious in that event back in 2018 but it would be a new face in Woodhull victory lane on this night. Fast forward to 2023 and a stacked field of drivers and teams arrived at the historic Steuben County Oval with many making their first attempts at trying to tackle the high banked facility.

Eighteen-year-old, Jordan Hutton had competed previously in a 360 Sprint as did Scott Landers and Darryl Ruggles, so the trio had experience in setting up for the unique configuration that Woodhull has to offer.

They would take full advantage of their experience in taking the top three podium spots in the twenty-five lap A Main event, but it did not some easy for any of them.

Hutton would begin the quarter century grind inside the third starting row as Tyler Graves and Tomy Moreau would bring the full twenty-four car field to head flagger, Tyler Groescup’s opening green flag. Moreau would immediately take command of the twenty-five-lap feature, however the first caution on lap two would reset the field.

On the restart, Moreau, who made the long haul to Woodhull from Sherbrooke, Quebec, Canada once again jumped out to a half straight away advantage over Graves as the pair would pull away from the rest of the field.

A rash of caution flags on lap seven would again slow the pace with the yellow flag waving no less than four times before the lap could get into the books. Unfortunately for race leader and the 2022 CRSA Rookie of the Year, Moreau he was one of those caution flags as he lost the grip in turns one and two sending the field scattering and his machine to the rear of the field.

By this point, Hutton was now in control of the field with twenty-second place starter, Scott Landers up to second and Darryl Ruggles in third. Three quick caution flags on laps fifteen and eighteen would again slow the pace and bunch the field keeping Landers and Ruggles within striking distance of Hutton who had been on cruise control up to this point.

The remainder of the event would be completed without incident with Hutton going to claim his first ever feature at Woodhull as he was chased across the line by Landers who was awarded the Powdertech Powdercoating Hard Charger Award and the Maguire Family of Dealerships “Magnificent Move” for his back to the front run.

The Motorized Madman, Ruggles was third at the finish as he was chased across the line by pole sitter, Tyler Graves who ran within the lead group throughout the entire distance with inside row seven starter, Dalton Herrick rounding the top five.

In Woodhull’s Pepsi/Siemens Energy Victory Lane an elated Hutton who hails from Hannibal, NY near Oswego thanked the CRSA Organization along with the promotional team at Woodhull for bringing the touring group to Woodhull and hopes for return engagement in 2024.

For Scott Landers, he used the top of the banking and the multiple yellow flags on lap seven to move through traffic and after a twenty-three-year layoff from driving was thrilled to have a podium finish.

Darryl Ruggles is happy just to be alive after a near death experience over the winter which has left him blind in his right eye.

“It’s hard enough to race with both eyes, but it’s really tough for me to compete with just my left eye, but my eyesight is improving as time goes along.”

There were no serious incidents throughout the entire evening with most slowdowns caused by minor spins with turns one and two being calamity corner as competitors were challenged by the tight, highly banked corners that separates the Woodhull Raceway from most of the other venues at which the CRSA 305 Sprints compete.

The CRSA Sprints will now head back East to Albany-Saratoga Speedway on Friday night August 25 for their first stop in 4 years which will also air live on Dirt Track Digest TV. Following Albany, the series will take a weekend off before visiting Skyline Raceway Motorsports Park on Saturday September 9.

LIAM MARTIN WINS SOUTHERN ONTARIO SPRINTS RETURN TO RANSOMVILLE

Story By Steven Petty

RANSOMVILLE, NY (August 18, 2023) - “Livewire” Liam Martin from Binbrook, Ontario won the Southern Ontario Sprints (SOS)’s return to the Ransomville Speedway on Friday night as Parco Building Systems, Clark Rigging & Rental, and Beyer Trucking presented the racing action.

Liam Martin and Dylan Westbrook were on the front row for the Southern Ontario Sprints (SOS)’s WNY Sprint Car Founders Night feature honoring Dave MacLeod, and it was Westbrook taking the lead. Darren Dryden would spin in turn two to bring out the race’s first caution. On the restart, Westbrook would take off, ahead of Liam Martin, Matt Farnham, Josh Hansen, and Kyle Phillips. Farnham and Martin would battle for second for several laps.

Tyeller Powless flipped heavily in turn one to bring out the red flag on lap 11. Powless climbed out of his car under his own power. Westbrook would reassume command of the field on the restart, but the caution flag would come back out as Josh Hansen hit the turn four wall. Westbrook would once again take off with lead following the restart, as Matt Farnham would take second away from Liam Martin on lap 13, as Mitch Brown raced in fourth place.

Farnham would hit the turn two wall to bring out the caution on lap 18. Mitch Brown would take second away from Martin on lap 20, with Westbrook in control of the field.

Paul Nienhiser Continues Dominance with Sprint Invaders Win in Quincy!

(Bill W) Quincy, IL, August 20, 2023 – Paul Nienhiser hit the “hat trick” a couple of times Sunday night at the Adams County Illinois Speedway in Quincy. It was not only his third straight win with the series, but it was also his third of the weekend, having topped the MOWA series Friday at Lincoln (IL) Speedway and the Sprint Invaders Saturday in Peoria. The Chapin, Illinois driver was dominant on the “Broadway bullring” in Quincy Sunday, earning $2,000 for the Scott Bonar #50 team. It was Paul’s eleventh career Sprint Invaders win.

After starting in the front row on Friday in Peoria, Nienhiser would start outside row three on Sunday. It wasn’t a problem. By the time the first of the 25 laps in the main event was scored, he was leading. Nienhiser went wire to wire from there.

Early on, Colton Fisher, Randy Martin and the point leader entering the night, Ryan Bunton were in pursuit. On lap three, Bunton made a move on the low side to go from fourth to second. Chase Porter entered the top four on lap four with a pass of Randy Martin.

On lap five, a three-wide battle coming out of turn four ended badly for two-time and defending series champion, Cody Wehrle. He ended up in the frontstretch wall, with a broken front end. The restart saw Nienhiser ahead of Bunton, Fisher, Porter and Martin. Fisher shot into second when the green flew, and Joey Moughan entered the top five. On lap seven, Moughan hit the cushion to pass Porter for fourth in a good battle.

Moughan’s luck would run out, when he tagged the backstretch wall and exited the track over turn two on lap nine. He would be done for the night. It would prove to be the last caution of the event. Nienhiser was into lapped traffic with ten to go and lapped all but the top five cars by the time he took the checkers.

Fisher held off Bunton for the second spot. Porter was fourth, and Tasker Phillips charged late for fifth. Luke Verardi, Stephen Russell, Tyler Lee, Martin and Bret Tripplett rounded out the top ten. Phillips won his heat and the Shake-up Dash. Fisher also won a heat.

“This 50 car is a dream to drive every time we hit the racetrack,” said Nienhiser in Victory Lane. “We rolled around there before we pushed off and I was kind of surprised how sticky the bottom stayed in one and two. If the opportunity presented itself (on the start), you kind of had to go where they were not. It was kind of like the waters parted. We had a really good racecar and stuck the bottom. I think we were leading going down the backstretch. Like I said, this car makes my job look easy. It’s a pleasure to drive. Hopefully, we can come to Quincy more often.”

“We had good speed last night at Peoria,” said Fisher, who suffered a DNF there. “We ended up losing our brakes in the feature and almost wadded it. We walked out with minimal damage, and came into tonight feeling good. I’ve had good speed, but struggled putting it all together. We felt good in the heat race, and in the feature, we still have some work to do. It was a good battle with Ryan.”

“It is a lot of fun racing with these guys,” said Bunton of his third place finish. “They race you clean, but they race you hard. Both of those together, are a rarity to find. The car was on point tonight. We’ve been battling some engine issues, and we’ve been on seven cylinders, but it’s the ‘little engine that could.’ We’re giving it our all here and it’s showing. The motor is coming out tomorrow, and we hope to have it ready for Labor Day weekend.”

The Sprint Invaders compete twice during the Labor Day weekend. On Saturday, September 2, they’ll visit the West Liberty Speedway in Iowa for the first time in several seasons. On Sunday, September 3, they’ll make their second appearance of the year at the Benton County Speedway bullring in Vinton, Iowa.

Ayrton Gennetten Gains POWRi 410 BOSS Victory Headlining Missouri State Fair

Belleville, IL. (8/20/23) Ayrton Gennetten would emerge victorious on the historic half mile to gain the feature win in the eighth completed event for the 2023 season in the POWRi 410 Bandit Outlaw Sprint Series return trip to Missouri State Fair Speedway to notch his second career series feature victory after a thrilling twenty-lap main event.

Running onto the historic half-mile in Sedalia Missouri the POWRi 410 BOSS would see Ayrton Gennetten and Garet Williamson would each earn heat racing victories with Brian Brown gaining the event high point qualifier award and pole starting position for the headlining State Fair feature event.

Going into the initial green flag start with defending winner Brian Brown and current point leader Ayrton Gennetten lined up in the front row, Brian Brown sped to the early racing advantage as Ayrton Gennetten, Garet Williamson, Xavier Doney, and Kyle Bellm battled within the top five.

Overtaking for the lead using a high-side maneuver off turn four would find Ayrton Gennetten overtake Brian Brown for the prized position while battling intently on a smooth surface of Sedalia with action aplenty behind the leading pair.

Maintaining the front of the field for the final sixteen revolutions of the feature event, Ayrton Gennetten would hold all challengers to earn his second career POWRi 410 BOSS feature victory and first time as 410 Missouri State Fair Champion.

“Last year we blew a tire and had issues so this feels great to get redemption, anytime you beat Brian Brown on a half mile you know you did something,” said Ayrton Gennetten in the Sedalia Missouri victory lane ceremony celebrations. Adding, “I’ve been so bad it seems this year on half miles so this just feels so much better to park it in victory lane here at Sedalia.”

Battling intently behind the leader would find Kyle Bellm finish runner-up from starting eighth with one-time leader Brian Brown recovering from a two-tire change to place in the final podium placement from starting on the pole.

Flying through the field into the front of the feature in the later stages, Xavier Doney would finish fourth from starting fifth as Ben Brown would round out the top-five finishers for the POWRi 410 Bandit Outlaw Sprint Series at Missouri State Fair Speedway on Sunday Night.

In feature racing action for the traditionals, the front row of Cam Schafer and Jeremy Kerzman engaged in a race-long battle that saw Schafer collect his 5th UMSS sticker of the summer in only six events. Behind Kerzman, Brad Cunningham, Jake Kouba, and Zach Widdes rounded the top five. At Cedar Lake, pole starter Owen Carlson held the early lead until a restart penalty handed the lead to a hard charging Chase Viebrock. Viebrock extended his lead until very late when Luke Nellis and Carlson both began reeling in the leader, and Nellis within striking distance on the white flag lap. At the double checkers, it was Viebrock holding strong to claim win number six on the season in front of Nellis, Carlson, Mike Mueller, and Jack Berger.

The Renegades return to action next Saturday, August 26, when the traditional sprints are back at their home track of Cedar Lake Speedway. More information on upcoming events for the Pirtek Renegades, as well as links to other Renegades series, can be found at www.umsprints.com, or on facebook.

Fast times at Lucas Oil Speedway as Garet Williamson sets track record, wins POWRi 410 Sprint feature

WHEATLAND, MO. (Aug. 19, 2023) - Garet Williamson went from the fastest driver to ever record a qualifying lap at Lucas Oil Speedway to the 25-lap POWRi 410 Outlaw Bandit Sprint Series feature winner on Saturday night.

Williamson, of Columbia, Mo., set a track record to help earn the pole and went on to lead the main event wire-to-wire and take home $5,000. It was the first-ever POWRi 410 Sprint Series appearance at Lucas Oil Speedway and Williamson made it memorable.

"This means everything to me. It feels really good to win this close to home," Williamson said. "This is pretty neat."

Also earning feature wins on Saturday night were Justin Wells (Hermitage Lumber Late Models) and Rodney Schweizer (O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars).

Williamson set a blistering pace from the pole, taking only five laps to catch lapped traffic as he opened a 1.7-second lead over Scotty Milan with Jace Park running third.

The first caution flew on lap eight when fifth-place Joe B. Miller spun in turn three. Williamson, Milan and Park were continuing to show the way with Ayrton Gennetten fourth.

The restart resulted in a melee going into turn one. Williamson and Park emerged clear as Milan got sideways going for the lead, with Kyle Clark and Kyle Bellm also involved to bring another caution out quickly. Milan’s car suffered heavy damage, ending his night.

As action resumed, Park spun and made hard contact with the turn-three wall to end his chances. Three green-flag laps were run before the next caution appeared as Bellm and Lane Warner spun in turn two.

Williamson had a 1.4-second lead over Gennetten at the time with Gage Montgomery third and Ben Brown in fourth.

Williamson seemed to get faster after the next restart, rolling away to a 2.7-second lead over Montgomery when action was stopped on lap 15 for a red flag as Warner took a wild, rolling ride in turn three. Warner emerged from the battered car under his own power.

Williamson took advantage of an extended run at speed to take a commanding 5.5-second lead over Gennetten, but that margin was wiped away with a lap-23 caution. That gave Gennetten and third-place Riley Kreisel, who rallied from 18th, two laps to overtake the leader.

But there was no denying Williamson as he held on to beat Ben Brown with Kreisel third. Mitchell Moore was fourth and Bellm fifth. Gennetten appeared to have a mechanical issue after the restart and limped home in 10th.

Williamson, 23, posted his fourth feature victory of the season and first POWRi 410 Outlaw Bandit Sprint Series win.

“This was a fun race, I almost tried to give it away a few times on the restart but man this feels good,” Williamson said. “I’m so proud of my team as we continue to build momentum in this thing.”

Outside from Williamson, Kreisel had the night's most-impressive run as he improved 15 positions from the start after rolling his car during hot laps and struggling in time trials and his heat.

"I have to hand it to my guys, they sweated a lot," said Kreisel, who's from nearby Warsaw. "They really busted their tails for me and I appreciate it."

Williamson set an unofficial track record in qualifying with a lap of 12.998. The lap eclipsed what is believe to be the record of 13.019 by Jason Meyers in a World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series race at the speedway in 2010.

Wells grabs 9th Late Model feature win: Justin Wells' ninth Hermitage Lumber Late Model feature win of the season was probably his toughest, as the Aurora driver held off a late-charging Johnny Fennewald by .117 seconds at the checkers.

"He came out of nowhere there," Wells said of Fennewald. "I was pretty comfortable with what I was doing, then I saw him with maybe two or three to go. I thought, 'man, you could lead this whole thing and lose it right here. You better get up on the wheel. We had to turn it up a notch or two."

Pole-sitter Tucker Cox led the first four laps before Wells charged around him on the outside of turn two for the lead on lap five. From there, he set sail for his ninth feature win of the season.

Wells had a 3.5-second lead by lap 13, when Fennewald got around Cox for second. A close call occurred on lap 14 when Noah Ames spun in turn four to bring out the first caution. Wells was able to slow down just in time to avoid Ames, though it did erase his 3.4-second lead over Fennewald.

Fennewald worked the inside groove and was within .662 seconds on lap 21 and pulled alongside Wells to complete lap 23. The two were nearly even coming to the white flag and Fennewald made a last-ditch dive in the final turn, but Wells was able to hold on by a half-car-length.

Larry Ferris finished third with Ed Noll fourth and Bryon Allison fifth. Cox, running third with a lap to go, saw his motor go up in smoke and wound up a hard-luck 10th.

Schweizer captures a Stock Cars thriller: Rodney Schweizer of Kansas City, Kan., outdueled leader Mason Beck in an O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars 25-lap feature that was a thriller throughout.

Schweizer took the lead on lap 13 and was able to hang on for his first Lucas Oil Speedway feature win of the season in a race that saw five cars tightly bunched up front at times.

William Garner led the first six laps with fourth-starting Schweizer applying pressure. Then Johnny Fennewald, who started 10th, jumped into the mix taking over second on lap nine and pulling alongside Garner on the outside.

The trio was three-wide into turn one on lap nine before Fennewald made the pass on lap 11 as Mason Beck joined the fray along with Waylon Dimmitt. The five cars were separated by only a couple of car lengths in an entertaining battle.

Schweizer regained the lead on lap 13, just before the race’s first caution came out. Beck moved into second on the restart as the top two were able to get a bit of separation as Dimmitt, Fennewald and Garner followed.

The race remained green the final 11 laps as Beck applied pressure. On lap 24, he dove to the inside out of turn four, but could not make the pass. Schweizer was able to hang on to win by .218 seconds as Dimmitt and Fennewald were right behind.

"These Stock Cars are always tough. We were fortunate tonight," Schweizer said.

Weber, Warner, Zellmerbag PDTR main event victories

(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) August 19, 2023 – Two-time Plymouth Dirt Track Racing 360 Sprint Car champion and current division points leader Brandon McMullen of Oshkosh kept himself in the driver’s seat for another title by claiming his fourth 25-lap Akright Auto PDTR 360 Sprint Car main event victory of the 2023 season Saturday, Aug. 19 at The Plymouth Dirt Track in Plymouth, Wis.

Steven Weber of Plymouth secured his first A-main victory of the 2023 campaign in a hotly contested 25-lap Oostburg Automotive Plymouth Dirt Track Racing Grand National main event.

Two-time PDTR B Mod champion Tim Warner of Malone notched his fifth Next Step Insurance 25-lap B Mod A-main victory of the 2023 campaign.

Adam Zellmer of Horicon captured his second 20-lap 106.5 The Buzz Wisconsin Legends Racing Dirt Series A main of the 2023 season in the Legends’ third and final 2023 appearance at The Plymouth Dirt Track.

Outside front row starter Lance Fassbender of Burnett outpowered polesitter Paul Pokorski of West Bend to grab the lead in turn one of the opening lap of the 25-lap PDTR – Midwest Sprint Car Association 360 Sprint Car headliner.

Meanwhile, fourth starter and Plymouth native Brandon McMullen moved past both Justin Erickson of Plymouth and Pokorski to secure second in turn two of the opening lap.On lap 6, Fassbender, who captured the 2008 PDTR 360 Sprint Car championship, caught the back of the field and began to maneuver his way through lapped traffic.

Three laps later, McMullen moved in to challenge Fassbender for the top spot along the low groove of the fast and challenging track surface. On lap 10, McMullen used the outside line to vault into the lead exiting turn four.

Five laps later, McMullen found himself boxed in behind side-by-side lapped traffic, which allowed Fassbender to reduce the lead gap. On lap 16, the lone caution flag of the race appeared when rookie Tristan Koenings of Van Dyne stopped along the apron of the frontstretch exiting turn four.

Following the restart, 2011 PDTR 360 Sprint Car champion Ben Schmidt of Plymouth, who started ninth, moved past Pokorski to assume third on lap 17. With McMullen holding down a comfortable lead as the laps wound down, Schmidt moved in to pressure Fassbender for the runner-up spot.

Schmidt then executed a low move to clear Fassbender in turn three on the white flag lap andgain second place, while McMullen notched his all-time division-leading 31st career PDTR 360 Sprint Car A-main victory and 43rd career Midwest Sprint Car Association A-main triumph, along with his fourth PDTR and fifth MSA main event win of the 2023 season.

Schmidt placed second, Fassbender wound up third, Justin Erickson came home fourth and 10th starter Kevin Karnitz of West Bend placed fifth.

“It was pretty tough to pass in turns one and two, but it was pretty good in turns three and four,” McMullen said. “I like tracks like this that have a little bit of character. I have to give props to my guys. The car was really good all night.”

Heading into the final three events of the 2023 PDTR season, McMullen leads Schmidt by nine points in the chase for the PDTR 360 Sprint Car title with Karnitz 89 points behind in third.

Three-time PDTR Grand National champion Don Sorce Jr. of West Allis, who started second, grabbed the lead on the opening lap of the 25-lap Grand National main event as fourth starter Steven Weber powered into second with Nick Schumacher of Eagle, who started third, settling into third.On lap 7, Schumacher and Weber dueled side by side for second with Weber retaining the spot one lap later.

When Sorce Jr. bobbled slightly on the 11th circuit, Weber pounced as he charged in to seize the top spot from Sorce Jr. in turn three, while Schumacher followed into the runner-up spot. Two laps later, six-time Plymouth Super Stock and Grand National champion Brian Gilles of Plymouth, who started sixth, moved into third.

Schumacher cut the gap significantly on lap 17 as Weber dealt with lapped traffic, while Gilles, eighth starter Will Sorce of Franklin and fifth starter Justin Pearson of Horicon ran in close quarters formation at the front of the field.

While the top five competitorsran with a blanket over them, Weber continued to fend off Schumacher’s challenges, while Sorce ducked under Gilles to take over third on lap 22.

Weber successfully held off the fast train of cars immediately behind him to claim his fourth career PDTR Grand National A-main victory and first main event triumph of the 2023 campaign.

Schumacher placed second, Sorce was third. Gilles wound up fourth and Pearson finished fifth.

Sorce heads into the final points race of the 2023 PDTR Grand National season on Friday, Aug. 25 with a two-point lead over Gilles, who collected the 2010 PDTR Grand National title, and a 35-point cushion over 2019 PDTR Grand National champion Tyler Kulow of Plymouth in the battle for the 2023 championship.

Outside front row starter Barry Maas of Cascade led the opening lap before polesitter Dan Melton of Rhinelander battled back to seize the lead on lap 2of the 25-lap PDTR B Mod main event.

On lap 3, Tim Warner moved up from the fourth starting spot to slip past Maas into second with a low move in turn four. Two laps later, Warner began to hound Melton for the lead.

Warner stayed patient over the next 10 laps as he worked the high, low and middle grooves before finally diving low to gain the lead in turn threewhen Melton drifted high in turn two on lap 15.

Over the final 10 laps, Melton, third starter Travis Schmidt of Plymouth, Jonathon Baumann of Sheboygan, who started seventh, and Maas sliced and diced for the remaining top-five spots.

Warner cruised to his division-leading 12th career PDTR B Mod A-main victory and fifth A-main triumph of the 2023 season at The Plymouth Dirt Track.

Melton wound up second, Schmidt was third, Baumann took fourth and Maas rounded out the top five.

Maas holds a 12-point lead over Schmidt with one race remaining in the 2023 PDTR B Mod season on Friday, Aug. 25. Shane Long of Sheboygan Falls stands 14 points behind in third and Warner sits fourth 20 points in back of the leader with one night left in the 2023 PDTR B Mod campaign.

After starting on the outside of the third row, Adam Zellmer flexed his muscle early to emerge from a three-wide duel with second starter Hunter Cardinal of Richfield and fourth starter Dallas Ross of Sussex to commandeer the lead on the opening lap of the 20-lap Wisconsin Legends Racing Dirt Series main event.

Zellmer then pulled away from Ross and maintained a solid lead cushion throughout the remainder of the race. Behind Zellmer and Ross, ninth starter Hayden Schmuhl of Beaver Dam, eighth starter Eric Blumer of Sun Prairie, Cardinal and Ryan Sullivan of Waupun, who started seventh, engaged in a spirited duel for third starting on lap 15.

Fellmer built up a full-straightaway lead over Ross on lap 18 before a red flag appeared on lap 19 when Ryan Sullivan flipped in turn two.

Following the restart, Fellmer held strong to secure his second 2023 Wisconsin Legends Racing Dirt Series A-main at Plymouth.

Ross placed second, Blumer was third, Schmuhl placed fourth and 10th starter Austin Winkel of Sheboygan Falls rounded out the top five.

Sodeman Succeeds, Kinney Closes, Seippel Solid, and Urey Undefeated at Tri-City Raceway Park

(Franklin, PA August 20, 2023): Jack Sodeman, Jr. regained the lead when Mark Smith lost a powerplant while gunning for his third win of the weekend in Western Pennsylvania. Sodeman continued without a significant challenge and took home the $4,000 pay envelope for the Diehl Chevrolet 410 Sprint Cars. The extra money was presented by the Moose Lodge, which also sponsored the bicycle races for the children and the Back to School packages that each child received.

Also capturing wins at Tri-City Raceway Park were Mike Kinney, a first-time winner in the Pitt Stop Pub 358 Modifieds, Josh Seippel in the Hovis Auto & Truck Supply Pro Stocks, and Matt Urey in the 4 Your Car Connection Four Cylinder Mini Stocks.

“It has been so long since I pulled up to victory lane, I thought I wouldn’t find it,” Sodeman quipped. “Jesus himself couldn’t catch Mark (Smith). I appreciate the win, but not like that, with him having motor problems.” Sodeman explained.

Sodeman pulled the pole for the start of the twenty-five lap A Main in the Diehl Chevrolet 410 Sprint Cars. Next to him was the visitor from across the pond, Ryan Harrison from the United Kingdom. Greg Wilson and Andy McKisson were in row two, with Mark Smith and Andy Priest in row three. The fourth row belonged to Sean Rayhall and points leader A.J. Flick. Behind them were Bob Felmlee, currently sitting second in points, and Michael Bauer in a rare Tri-City appearance.

Sodeman powered into the lead, followed by Smith, Harrison, Wilson, Flick, McKisson, Rayhall, and Priest. Smith quickly closed in on Sodeman and drove by him on lap three.

Lap six was a tumultuous one. Cameron Nastasi spun for the first caution. On the restart, Bauer crashed hard in turn two. He was not hurt. Bauer was the first 410 Sprint Car to get upside down at Tri-City in 2023.

Smith broke away from the field once again when the race resumed. Sodeman continued in second, while Flick hounded Wilson for the third position. Rayhall and Harrison competed for fifth. Meanwhile, Felmlee started to move forward.

With a comfortable lead on lap fourteen, Smith suddenly lost power coming through turns three and four. Flames shot from the engine compartment, signaling the end of his stellar run.

Sodeman went back to the point for the final restart. Wilson remained in second, but Flick increased the pressure, to no avail. Felmlee moved into fourth, but he could not get by Flick to gain any ground in the battle for the point championship. Rayhall took over the fifth position and held it to the end.

Harrison was sixth, followed by Andy Cavanaugh, Bodey McClintock, and Steven Bright.

Heat wins went to Harrison and Smith. There was no B Main.

Hayden Holden and Mike Kinney brought the Pitt Stop Pub 358 Modifieds to the green flag for a twenty lap go. Ayden Cipriano and Tom Holden were in row two, followed by Gage Priester and Lenny Liebold, III. Anthony Antrus and Chad Reitz made up row four.

Kinney sailed into the lead and set a rapid pace. Hayden Holden raced ahead of Tom Holden in the early going, with Cipriano holding down fifth. Within a couple of laps, Cipriano moved up a notch and he began to press Hayden Holden for second. Despite his persistence, Cipriano was unable to make the pass.

Antrus brought out the lone caution on lap nine for a spin between turns three and four.

Although Hayden Holden was able to start on Kinney’s bumper, he was unable to mount any challenge to the leader. In fact, Holden had to fend off Cipriano who tried to unseat him from second.

At the checkers, it was Kinney taking the win, a significant one in his career. Kinney commented that he had several opportunities at Tri-City before, but he could never get the job done until this night. Hayden Holden was second, with points leader Cipriano taking third. Fourth was Tom Holden. Gage Priester completed the top five. Liebold, Antrus, and Reitz were the other competitors.

The lone heat win went to Kinney. There was no B Main.

The Hovis Auto & Truck Supply Pro Stock feature was the most competitive feature of the night. Pat Fielding and Hunter Exley, Jr. brought the field to the green, followed by Bobby Whitling and Josh Seippel. The third row had points leader Tyler Wyant matched with Aaron Smith. Chase Lambert and Jake Whitling were in row four.

Bobby Whitling hugged the inside line to take the lead away from Fielding on the first lap. Seippel and Exley diced for third, with Wyant lurking.

Bobby Whitling held control for the first nine laps, but Seippel was oh, so close. Seippel had his new car glued to the bottom and he was able to get inside of Whitling, which was no mean feat. The two veterans raced close, but did not touch, as Seippel slipped ahead coming through turn four.

Seippel completed the non-stop fifteen lap race to pick up his second consecutive win. Bobby Whitling, Wyant, Exley, and Fielding rounded out the top five. Jake Witling came home in sixth. Smith and Lambert completed the field.

Seipple was also the heat winner. There was no B Main.

It took a couple of tries to get the 4 Your Car Connection Four Cylinder Mini Stock feature going. Thomas Warren and Kevin Wice brought the field to the initial green, followed by Adam Aley and Dillon Thorne. Joe Campbell and Tim Callahan were in row three, with Dillon Morrison inside of points leader Matt Urey.

Once the race got going, Urey marched to the front. Campbell raced along in second, with Warren, Thorne, and Callahan making up the top five. Chad Greeley, Adam Aley, Ben Aley, Morrison, and Matt Daugherty completed the top ten at the end of a dozen laps.

Heat winners were Urey and Callahan. There was no B Main.

Next week, Tri-City Raceway Park will present the final Sunday Thunder event of the 2023 season. Joining the four usual classes will be the A & MP electric, Inc. UMP Modifieds. Then, the Labor Day weekend blowout will close out the season. Practice in all divisions will be held Friday night.

Matt Williamson picks up $4000 in Ryder memorial for big blocks at Michaels Mercer raceway. Mark Smith (410s)

By Jim Balentine (Mercer,Pa)

On a beautiful fall like evening, Michaels Mercer Raceway completed their 8th show of the year and final night for points with 99 cars in the pits.

The track celebrated the life of Rick and Bob Ryder with the Ryder memorial for big block modifieds that paid $4000 to win and $400 to start. At the end of the 40 lapper “money” Matt Williamson from Canada, picked up his first ever Mercer checkered, and became the first Canadian ever win a feature in the 73 year history of the Speedway. In the companion 410 sprint car feature Central PA invader Mark Smith made it 2 or 2 for the weekend after winning at Lernerville Friday by winning the $3000 to win 410 sprint car feature. After a long career Jim Bryce finally picked up his first career feature in the FASTRAK modifieds, veteran Randy Wyant nabbed his 2nd mercer pro stock feature and Tim Callahan won his 21st career mercer mini stock feature.

In the 410 Sprint feature 4 time mercer winner Mike Bauer would take the lead from the start and hold off central pa invader Mark Smith. Racesaver 305 point leader Jeremy Kornbau would compete with his 305 motor and would be running consistently in the 4th spot. A yellow on lap 11 would slow the field. 23 time winner Bob Felmlee after starting 23rd would be up to 10th on lap 11. After the restart on lap 14 Smith would take the lead as he went high around Bauer who drifted higher off turn 2 losing momentum. Another caution on lap 22 would give Bauer one lap chance to get the win but on the restart Smith would take off again and go on to win his 1st mercer sprint feature by .881 over Bauer. Cody Bova would move up 4 spots to finish 3rd, Brandon Matus would fall 2 spots to finish 4th and Adam Kekich up 8 spots to finish 5th. Smith would say ,“It was a good battle with Mike (Bauer)!! I was waiting on traffic but it was all going to the bottom so it didn’t help. I was waiting for the fuel to burn off so I could move my wing back and try it up top and go for it . I like riding the high side here just on the lip at the top. This weekend it’s just me and one other guy and it makes it a little tough but we are used to it as we travel around. We will try to make it 3 in a row tomorrow for $4000 at Tri city.

23 Big blocks started the Ryder memorial as the track remembered father, Rick Ryder, who competed in all of the different modified classes at the track along with two career wins, and his son, Bob, who would help out everybody in the Pit area after they both passed away last year, eight months apart from each other. In turn 4 before lap 1 was completely JR McGinley and Chas Wolbert tangled in turn 4. Chad Reitz who returned to racing after years away would lead the field on the restart followed by 2021 champ Eric Gabany and Garrett Krummert. Erick Rudolph would move quickly from his 7th starting spot to 2nd behind Reitz but broke and caused a yellow and would go pitside. Former mercer champ and hometown driver Eric Gabany who drove for Rick Ryder would get around Reitz to be the new leader on lap 4. Kyle Fink then spun on the outside of turn 3 bringing out the yellow again. Krummert and “money” Matt Williamson would follow Gabany with Williamson getting around Krummert for 2nd on lap 8. Rex King Jr would be up to 4th from 7thon lap 11. Brad Rapp spun off of turn 3 on lap 16 bringing out the yellow once again. Gabany would continue to hold off Williamson lap after lap by a second or less as Gabany drove the race of his life. Veteran Dave Murdick spun in turn 4 on lap 29 to bring out the caution again. On theRestart Gabany would stay in the lead until lap 33 when they would touch in turn 1 and Williamson would take the high side and take the lead over Gabany who lost momentum while getting sideways in the corner. Williamson would start to pull away and lead by 2 seconds and went on to with the $4000 Ryder memorial by 3 seconds. Gabany would be 2nd, krummert 3rd, Rex king jr 4th and Will Thomas 5th. Ryder memorial winner Matt Williamson would say “Eric (Gabany) ran a great race. I came down here when Bob was still alive and had a great time with Eric and Bob drinking beers. It was tough to take away this one but at the end of the day it’s all for the fans. Me and Cooter (Rex King Jr) have been friends for years and a lot of these other drivers as well. It’s a totally different style of racing when you enjoy the people that you run against. As soon as we turn left on I-79 in Erie to come down here we know we are going to have a good time!”

Jim Bryce has been competing at Mercer for quite some time, but never was able to crack victory Lane until tonight in the FASTRAK crate modifieds. It wasn’t easy though as newly crowned track champion Jordan Ehrenberg from the pole would maintain the lead while behind 3 drivers were battling for 2nd place. Three time track champ Brian Schaffer would run second holding off Pat Lane and Bill Adams and took the lead on lap 7 at the line but then Ehrenberg would come back and retake the position the next lap. On lap 12 disaster struck as Jolene Smith would go head on full throttle into the outside turn 4 barrels that are in front of the concrete wall which also included Don Cornelius, Caden Petry, Ryan Guthrie and Cole Edwards. All drivers were ok. On the restart Ehrenberg once again had control and then Brian Schaffer would break sending him to the pit area, ending his chance at a 4th consecutive track championship. Meanwhile Jim Bryce would be moving up through the field from his 9th starting spot on the high side to get to 2nd on lap 15. Bryce would be all over the back end of Ehrenberg, but then on the final lap, Bryce made his move to the inside getting around Ehrenberg and went on to win his first ever Mercer feature in the division by 1.134. Michael Kristyak from 13th was 3rd, Bill Adams 4th and Gage Priester 5th.Bryce became the 6th different winner in 8 features. Bryce would say ,”I wasn’t sure if I had anything or not for Jordan (Ehrenberg). I tested up at the top on those caution laps and he gave me some room on the restart on the inside so I floored it into 1 and 2 and once I cleaned him I knew it was good. I watched the big blocks racing up there so I made some good headway there so I kept trying it. It’s so great to finally win at my home track it’s a good feeling!”

In the pro stock 15 lapper, veterans Randy Wyant, and 34 time winner Andy Buckley would start on the front row. Wyant would go to lead up to lap 4 when Buckley took over. Wyant would not give up racing close lap after lap, and then on the back stretch in the closing lap they would race side-by-side, and Buckley would get into Wyant, turning him completely sideways. Wyant would continue as Buckley went to the pits and went on for his 2nd career mercer pro stock feature. Randy said “I came up through I thought I had him (Andy Buckley) cleared and I got sideways.. I don’t know what happened..I’ve been off for a few years and I wanted to come back and play around and watch my son. I’ll be back for the little guy hopefully.” Hunter Exley was 2nd, Chris Schneider 3rd, Bobby Whitling 4th and Russell Coyne 5th.

In the mini stock feature Tim Callahan would lead from the pole position and lead all 15 laps taking his 21st career win. The excitement was behind him as 2023 track champion Andy Thompson woild be running in 2nd along with Devin Haley, Randy Ealy, Daniel Hostetler, and Josh Eakman. On lap 10 Hostetler would get around Thompson as Thompson would start to fade back. Then Eakman would take 2nd on lap 11 and hold of Randy Ealy for 2nd. Hostetler was 4th and Trevn Schaffer was 5th. Thompson with his 14th place finish would capture His third consecutive many stock championship by a scant 4 points over Randy Ealy. Callahan said ,”we try to put a good show on for everybody!! this has become an expensive sport so I want to thank all the sponsors every dollar counts.. we will get some different drivers and cars next time we run with the Scdra rules package” This would conclude the regular season at Michaels Mercer Raceway.

The next race on the calendar will be on Saturday, September 16 when the Aaron Fry led FAST 410 sprint cars come to Mercer along with the regular four divisions.

Smith Makes the Haul Worth It in Peoples Sprints

Sarver, PA (August 19, 2023) With the first cool temperatures of fall sending a preview in the air and a stacked pit area which contained 83 cars, the 2023 track champions all painted one more masterpiece before closing out their Fab4 regular seasons on Friday night at Lernerville Speedway as AJ Flick, Michael Norris, Rex King Jr., and Tyler Dietz each put an exclamation point on their championship seasons with a visit to Terry Bowser Victory Lane on Championship Night. The regularly scheduled event night also played host to a pair of held over features from earlier in the season, making for a six-feature Friday as many of the Peoples Natural Gas Sprint Cars and Millerstown Pic-A-Part Pro Stock drivers performed double duty. Central, PA invader and 360 Sprint Car legend Mark Smith made another stop at The Action Track and produced his first feature win in 15 years at the Sarver speedplant in the Peoples Natural Gas Sprint Car main event, while Christian Schneider took the honors in the Millerstown Pic-A-Part Pro Stock make up feature.

The regularly scheduled Peoples Natural Gas Sprint Car feature had a bit more on the line than normal as an extra $500, added by Lernerville supporter Fast Andy in memory of Dave Hartman, spiced up the the intensity as Flick had already both clinched the title and had one feature win on the night. Flick was looking to make it two wins and a special one at that as Hartman’s Fence by Maintenance Serivce business had been a longtime friend and partner of both the speedway and Flick’s racing team. However, stopping by from Central, PA was Mark Smith who had last won a feature at The Action Track 15 years ago and brought a fast hot rod and a desire to win on the haul with him.

Jeremy Weaver and Brandon Matus started up front and when action got underway, Matus cruised on the top side of the surface to the early lead at the flag stand while behind him, Weaver, Smith and Dan Kuriger and Dan Shetler made up a formidable chase pack. Coming forward with authority was Flick who started 12th on the grid and had worked his way to the sixth spot in less than five laps. Meanwhile, Smith had made his way around Weaver and locked his radar on Matus for the lead with the leader staring at thick lapped traffic. Matus found his way through the lappers with relative ease but Smith was relentless in his pursuit as the lap 10 mark approached.

Flick was still coming forward like a banshee as he made his way by Carl Bowser and then Weaver for the fourth spot as he used the high side of the speedway as his preferred way around. Out front, Smith slid cleanly in front of Matus on lap 11 and made the lead stick at the flag stand just before the yellow flag came out for Adam Herb. Flick had managed to take the third spot before the caution and when action got back underway he made his way around Matus for second while keeping Smith within reach as the two front runners embarked on a battle for the win which was interrupted by Brandon Fredericks who brought out the yellow flag just two laps later. When the green flag waved, Flick made the switch to the bottom groove in turns one and two looking to build up enough momentum to run down Smith which worked to his advantage as he minimized the gap between the two with less than nine laps to go.

The two looked set to battle to the final set of turns for the win until Flick’s car flipped softly in turn four as he tangled with the cushion with five laps to go. Flick was no worse for the wear and Smith was left with a handful of laps to stay out front to collect the win. When action resumed, Bowser, no in the second spot, followed Smith around the high side but could not make up any ground as Matus made one final bid to catch Bowser for second, but out front it was all Mark Smith who kept his car smooth and fast en route to the feature victory.

“We’ve been having a bunch of troubles,” Smith said. “I tore this car up at Big Diamond last week and I thrashed all week getting it back together. I didn’t have a motor and this motor here is for sale if anyone wants to buy it. It’s fresh, it’s the first night out on it so I figured I’d just use it this weekend and see how we can do with it and go from there. Track’s awesome; I love this place, I’d run out here every week if I could. “

Must See Racing

SOUTH AMHERST, Ohio (Aug. 19, 2023) – One week after his three-race Must See Racing Engine Pro Sprint Car Series winning streak was snapped, Jimmy McCune started a new run of success.

McCune rolled to his series-leading fifth win of the season Saturday night during the Jerry Caryer Memorial 40, the headlining act of the second annual Bob Frey Classic at Lorain Raceway Park.

The five-time champion from Toledo, Ohio, started on the outside pole after an eight-car inversion from qualifying and led the entire distance, comfortably besting defending series titlist Charlie Schultz by 2.234 seconds.

It marked the 43rd career feature victory of McCune’s storied Must See Racing career; however, the veteran admitted afterward that it didn’t come easy at the three-eighths-mile paved oval.

“The car started out good this weekend; I thought we were solid on older tires … and then today when we put the fresh rubber on, we were out to lunch for a while,” McCune explained in victory lane. “I think we ended up changing everything but the front bumper and the driver when it was all said and done. We struggled and we fought, just like the ‘Bulldog’ always does, and we didn’t quit until we got it right.

“Traffic was a challenge at the end of the race, but thankfully it all worked out in our favor there.”

Once McCune jumped past polesitter Todd McQuillen on the initial start, he never looked back. A lap-eight caution for the spinning car of Joe Speakman, however, set up one restart for Schultz to try and capitalize on.

But that chance never came, as Schultz spent the balance of the race trying to play defense, fending off the charges of Davey Hamilton Jr. the entire way as the pair raced through slower traffic.

“Hats off to Jimmy; he really had everyone’s number tonight,” said Schultz. “They’re always the ones to beat. … I could somewhat keep pace with him once I got to second, but on the restart, he chose the bottom, had a good start and that was it.

“We didn’t have enough to get it done this time, but we’ll be back next time for another go at it.”

Hamilton completed the podium for his third top-three finish of the season. Point leader Jason Blonde was fourth ahead of McQuillen, who salvaged a strong fifth-place run for veteran owner Dave Koyan.

June Lorain winner Bobby Santos III struggled in the 40-lap main event and finished sixth, one spot ahead of surprise fast qualifier Craig Mintz.

Mintz, a regular dirt sprint car competitor, turned a lap of 12.561 seconds (107.476 mph) in time trials, banking a $750 bonus for his efforts.

Rookie Kevin Mingus and Schultz split the pair of eight-lap heat races held prior to the main event.

Seventeen-year-old Andrew Bogusz starred in the undercard Must See Racing Midwest Lights Series feature, leading the final 27 laps of the 30-lap feature for 602 Chevrolet crate-powered sprint cars.

Bogusz passed fellow teenager Charlie Baur on lap four and held off defending Midwest Lights champion Cody Gallogly through two restarts to secure the win, including a three-lap dash to the checkered flag.

J.J. Henes closed out the podium, followed by Joshua Sexton and Sawyer Stout.

The Must See Racing national sprint cars return to action Friday, June 25 at Michigan’s Birch Run Speedway, while the Midwest Lights take a week off before racing at Owosso Speedway on Sept. 2.

Macedo Captures AGCO Jackson Nationals Powered by FENDT Finale With Last-Lap Pass; Schafer Also Triumphant During Exciting Night at Jackson Motorplex

Inside Line Promotions - JACKSON, Minn. (Aug. 19, 2023) - The 45 th annual AGCO Jackson Nationals powered by FENDT was a thriller on Saturday night at Jackson Motorplex, where Carson Macedo and Cam Schafer emerged victorious during the crown jewel event.

Macedo outlasted Brad Sweet in an epic five-lap shootout to garner the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series victory that paid $25,000. It marked his second straight year of winning the event finale.

James McFadden, who swept the two preliminary nights and won the King of the Hill to earn the pole position for the 35-lap feature, led the first 25 laps in a race that was non-stop following a red flag on the start.

A hiccup on Lap 26 by McFadden, who widened his exit off turn two, allowed Macedo to pounce. He plugged the narrow gap on the bottom groove entering turn three to take the lead.

"I think that was literally the only lap that he missed the bottom," he said. "He was pretty flawless up until that point. He just missed it just that tiny bit off of two and he got spinning down the backstretch and I was able to squeeze off the bottom, grab that grip and just get to his inside. I know it was probably close, but there just wasn't a whole lot of opportunity other than that I didn't think. You kinda had to force the issue."

The final caution of the race on Lap 31 set up a wild final five laps. Third-running Brad Sweet left the favored bottom and powered around the top groove in turns one and two to pass McFadden for second place on the restart. He then edged Macedo exiting turn four to lead the lap.

Macedo executed a slide job into turns one and two to reclaim the top spot. The duo went back and forth for a couple of laps before Sweet used a slide job in turn two to take back the lead on Lap 34. He took the white flag in front, but Macedo offered one last slider into turns one and two before protecting the bottom entering turn three to score the victory.

"I knew that with Brad and James behind me, they're extremely good race car drivers, I knew they'd be searching around trying to find something else," Macedo said. "By the time I could hear him he was already by me or at my right side. I was able to kinda squeeze that grip into one and slide him. I was in full guess mode. I didn't really know where to be. When you're in that spot it's tough to know exactly where you're supposed to be. I've got the utmost respect for Brad Sweet. He's an unbelievable race car driver so to duel with him there at the end was pretty cool."

Sweet's runner-up result was his best outing of the weekend.

"I knew my car was really good in that King of the Hill up top," he said. "I figured I didn't have much to lose (restarting third with five laps remaining). I just kinda got outraced there at the end. I felt like I could have done a better job at the end once I got in front of him to keep him behind me. He surprised me with some of the runs he got. Taking the white in the lead I should have just really protected the bottom. He got back to my inside. He did a better job of protecting and moving his car around."

Donny Schatz used a late move to garner a podium result.

"It's a pretty respectable finish," he said. "Without that yellow we weren't going to finish there, but that's the way racing is and we got it. We had a pretty respectable weekend. It was a step in the right direction."

McFadden placed fourth and Giovanni Scelzi was fifth.

Sweet, Tanner Holmes and Justin Sanders earned qualifier victories and Lachlan McHugh was the Last Chance Showdown winner.

Schafer led all 20 laps of the caution-free PIRTEK Upper Midwest Renegades Sprint Car Series main event as he held off a pair of charges from competitors with timely lane changes.

Scott Brandt found the bottom groove and advanced to second place on Lap 11. He then closed on Schafer, who left his favored top lane for the bottom with five laps remaining. Meanwhile, Jeremy Kerzman stayed committed to the outside. He reclaimed the runner-up position on Lap 16 before reeling in Schafer, who moved back to the top on Lap 18 with the race-winning move.

"I seen Scott's nose dipping underneath me," Schafer said. "This place races so even. It's a beautiful race track and I knew everybody was going to be right there.

"(After moving to the bottom) I was getting a little bit too tight and kinda looked like a fool down there. I went back to where I was comfortable."

Kerzman placed second with Brad Cunningham finishing third, Jake Kouba fourth and Zach Widdes fifth.

The heat races were won by Kerzman and Cunningham.

Paul Nienhiser Tames Peoria High Banks With Sprint Invaders!

(Bill W) Peoria, IL, August 19, 2023 – Paul Nienhiser picked up his third Sprint Invaders feature of the year, and the tenth in his career in impressive fashion Saturday night at the Peoria Speedway in Illinois. The Chapin, Illinois driver earned $2,000 for his win aboard the Scott Bonar #50.

Randy Martin led the first lap of the 25-lap main event, ahead of Nienhiser, Colton Fisher and Ryan Bunton. Nienhiser used the high side of turns one and two and found his way around Martin to take the point on lap two. Bunton claimed third from Fisher a lap later.

Austin Archdale clipped an infield tire eight laps in, bringing the first of two cautions in the event. Nienhiser led Martin, Bunton, Fisher, Cody Wehrle and Joey Moughan back to green. Wehrle used the opportunity to shoot around Fisher for fourth, and then slid by Bunton in turn four of lap eleven for the third spot.

The final caution came for a slowing Fisher on lap twelve. The Mediapolis, Iowa driver entered the night second in points to Bunton, but was done for the night. Moughan went by Bunton for fourth on that restart.

Nienhiser cruised the second half of the race, using the top side of turns one and two and the low side in three and four to win by over a straightaway ahead of Martin, Wehrle, Moughan and Bunton. Bret Tripplett, hard-charger Luke Verardi, Tyler Lee, Chase Porter and Tasker Phillips rounded out the top ten. Fisher and Bunton won the heats, and Nienhiser claimed the Shake-up Dash.

“I was really committed to the top in one and two,” said Nienhiser of his winning drive. “My car felt good there all night. I could see guys as I was making the turn on the bottom. Being the leader, it’s kind of tricky. You want to keep doing what you’re doing, but still check your surroundings. I also felt nice on the top of three and four, but it just got so far around. I don’t know if it was Randy Martin or who, but they seemed to be getting off the bottom of turn four really well. I just didn’t want to leave that door open, and we made the right decision to move down.”

“We pretty much made our mind up before the feature, we were going to run the bottom most of the race if we could,” said Martin. “Paul was making ground up on us on top. I tried it one lap, and I decided I better get back to the bottom there. All in all, we had a decent night. You know how it is, starting up front. We got lucky in the dash there (draw). That put us on the pole, but you know what…I’d rather be lucky than good any day!”

“The restarts were good,” said Wehrle. “We really didn’t have a whole lot else going on for us besides following the leader. I was too impatient to follow people around. I was probably doing a few things that I probably shouldn’t have been doing, and my guys let me know that after the race too. It worked out. Hopefully, it gave the fans something to watch. Randy Martin is just so good on the bottom with all his years of experience. It’s hard to drive around him. We’ll take it for the first time being here.”

The Sprint Invaders head to the Adams County (IL) Speedway in Quincy Sunday night, August 20.

Blanketing the field through a series of restarts, Garet Williamson would hold-off front-end battles from Jace Park as well as Scotty Milan while speed and competitors battled behind the leading trio with a battle of attrition coming into play as well.

Maintaining the front of the field for all twenty-five laps of the feature event, Garet Williamson would hold all challengers to earn his first career POWRi 410 BOSS feature victory.

“This was a fun race, I almost tried to give it away a few times on the restart but man this feels good,” said Garet Williamson in the Lucas Oil Speedway victory lane ceremony celebrations. Adding, “I’m so proud of my team as we continue to build momentum in this thing, it feels really go to win this close to home.”

Battling intently behind the leader would find Ben Brown would benefit from a late restart to finish runner-up from starting sixth with Riley Kreisel flying past fifteen other competitors to hard-charge his way into placing in the final podium placement from starting eighteenth.

Caeden Steele and Dominic Scelzi put on a show for the fans in Watsonville Friday

By Gary Thomas

Watsonville, CA…Fresno’s Caeden Steele had been close to victory on several occasions this season and finally sealed the deal on Friday, making a late pass of Dominic Scelzi to claim the Key Classic kick-off race at Ocean Speedway.

Also scooping up wins on Friday night were Adriane Frost with the Hobby Stocks, Jason Lazzerini with the Four Bangers and Danny Wagner with the South Bay Dwarf Cars.

The 30-lap Ocean Sprints presented by Taco Bravo feature saw Gizdich Ranch Dash winner Steele jump into the lead at the waving of the green flag. It was short lived however, as Fresno’s Dominic Scelzi scooted by to grab the point after one lap was complete.

Scelzi then held command and worked his way through heavy duty lapped traffic, with Steele not far behind. The duo raced closely together for a majority of the contest and gave the crowd on hand an excellent display of Winged Sprint Car racing.

As the laps wound down traffic continued to play into things and with four circuits remaining, Steele made his move. The 17-year-old youngster dove to the inside of the two-time NARC champ and crossed the stripe as the leader on lap 27. Scelzi gave it one final shot on the last corners, but Steele hit his marks to bring home his second career Ocean Sprints triumph.

Scelzi finished in second, with Campbell’s Bud Kaeding rounding out the podium. The 1996 Johnny Key Classic winner, Kaeding, had an excellent run in the main event making frequent impressive passes. Oakley’s Dylan Bloomfield and the night’s fastest qualifier Colby Johnson completed the top-five. The remainder of the top-10 was filled out by Mitchell Faccinto, Kaleb Montgomery, Rickey Sanders, Ryan Bernal and Bryce Eames.

Ocean Sprints results: 1. 121X-Caeden Steele[1]; 2. 41-Dominic Scelzi[2]; 3. 69-Bud Kaeding[5]; 4. 83V-Dylan Bloomfield[7]; 5. 38-Colby Johnson[3]; 6. 12R-Mitchell Faccinto[6]; 7. 3-Kaleb Montgomery[9]; 8. 121-Rickey Sanders[8]; 9. 22-Ryan Bernal[15]; 10. 50-Bryce Eames[11]; 11. 10-Dominic Gorden[12]; 12. 2K-Gauge Garcia[10]; 13. 72W-Kurt Nelson[14]; 14. 8-Jeremy Chisum[13]; 15. 3D-Caleb Debem[20]; 16. 3M-Adam Kaeding[4]; 17. 72JR-Chris Nelson[19]; 18. 72S-Bradley Dillard[18]; 19. 87-Ashlyn Rodriguez[17]; 20. 56Z-Don Hart[21]; 21. 88A-Joey Ancona[16]; 22. 98-Vince Giannotta[22]

The 20-lap finale for the Hobby Stocks saw Bobby Gallaher get out front early and dominate in impressive fashion. He looked to be on way to victory until a caution flag at the halfway point created a restart.

During the restart Gallaher and Adriane Frost battled it out, which ultimately saw a three-car pileup that included Gallaher. Frost then led the remainder as Shane Freeman tried to get by on several occasions. Frost took the checkered flag for her third win of the year.

Freeman crossed the stripe in second while smoking, which eventually turned to a big flame-up in victory lane. Joe Gallaher, Alex Wilson and B. Gallaher completed the top-five.

Hobby Stock results: 1. 22-Adriane Frost[3]; 2. 55F-Shane Freeman[8]; 3. 1-Joe Gallaher[6]; 4. 36-Alex Wilson[5]; 5. X1-Bobby Gallaher[2]; 6. 69-Jerry Skelton[7]; 7. 9-Nick Scetani[1]; 8. 3OG-Dan Fassler[4]; 9. (DNS) 83-Terry Campion

August 18, 2023 (Lincoln, IL) - For Paul Nienhiser, it was a clean sweep of all events at Lincoln Speedway in 2023. The Chapin, Illinois hotshoe was victorious in both visits to the ¼-mile oval, winning his heat races and both A-Main events. Neither event was an easy win, however.

In July, Nienhiser fought off Steven Russell and Joe B. Miller to score the victory. Tonight, it was a challenge from Will Armitage, who gave it all that he had, as he tried to overtake Nienhiser for his first career MOWA Sprints Victory.

Nienhiser started the 25-Lap affair in the fifth spot and quickly moved his way forward, chasing down early front-runners Steven Russell and Trevin Littleton. The field slowed for a caution with Jeff Beasley in turn three that collected Russell and resulted in a DNF for the driver of the #1JR. Enter Mario Clouser. The Auburn, Illinois native made a rare

start with a wing atop his #6 machine and ran inside the top three for a majority of the race. As the field refired with Nienhiser at the point, further back in the field, Jake Neuman and Jake Blackhurst quickly entered their hats into the battle for top five positions.

Nienhiser continued to pull away with laps winding down only to see the field slow once more when Paul Haley made contact with the infield berm, resulting in a roll-over. Haley was uninjured in the accident. Lining up for a two lap shootout, Nienhiser pulled away from Armitage and again saw caution fall as Preston Perlmutter pulled up lame just before turn one, ending his night. A race back to a green-white-checkered finish saw Nienhiser score his fifth career victory at Lincoln Speedway and 25th-overall series victory. Will Armitage, Trevin Littleton, Jake Neuman and Jake Blackhurst rounded out the top five.

The finish: 1. 9X-Paul Nienhiser, 2. 7A-Will Armitage, 3. 1T-Trevin Littleton, 4. 3N-Jake Neuman, 5. 96-Jake Blackhurst, 6. 47-Korey Weyant, 7. 6-Mario Clouser, 8. 10S-Jeremy Standridge, 9. 52F-Logan Faucon, 10. 79-Gage Montgomery, 11. 83-Colton Fisher, 12. 3B-Shelby Bosie, 13. 16C-Tyler Rankin, 14. 9-Tyler Duff, 15. 77U-Chris Urish, 16. 37-Bryce Norris, 17. 14N-Kevin Newton, 18. 42-Preston Perlmutter, 19. 90-Patrick Budde, 20. 83B-Jeff Beasley, 21. 17-Paul Haley, 22. 1JR-Steven Russell, 23. 14M-Jordan Masson

McFadden and Goos Jr. Score AGCO Jackson Nationals Powered by FENDT Feature Triumphs at Jackson Motorplex

Inside Line Promotions - JACKSON, Minn. (Aug. 18, 2023) - James McFadden and Lee Goos Jr. topped Night 2 of the 45 th annual AGCO Jackson Nationals powered by FENDT on Friday at Jackson Motorplex.

McFadden doubled up by sweeping the event preliminary nights for his sixth World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series victory of the season. It also marked his first time of winning two straight races with 'The Greatest Show on Dirt.'

McFadden is the high-points driver for the event with Carson Macedo, Giovanni Scelzi and Donny Schatz joining him as locked-in drivers into Saturday's King of the Hill, which sets up the front rows of the $25,000-to-win main event.

"I've been close a couple of times, but to go back to back is cool," McFadden said. "Completely different track tonight. We got the lead on the bottom last night and then got the lead on the top tonight. I felt like I was really abusing my tires, engine and car up there, but we were good enough to get the job done.

"It's a pretty cool weekend so far. To be locked in tomorrow is great."

McFadden led all 25 laps with Scelzi running second throughout the race. The closest Scelzi got to McFadden was on Lap 15 when he threw a slider in turns one and two, but it didn't have enough momentum to clear the leader.

"It all happened so fast in the moment it doesn't feel like much of a moment, but then you watch it back it's like, 'Oh that's a little close for comfort,'" McFadden said. "Gio does an awesome job. He's one of the most respectful guys out there and I know he's going to give you enough room."

Scelzi's second-place finish was his 11 th top five of the season with the World of Outlaws.

"It was all on the start there," he said. "There wasn't much on the bottom of (turns) one and two and the race was won there. I got kinda to him in traffic and threw a hail mary slider and knew I wasn't going to clear him when I got to the center and just kinda turned sideways."

Macedo rounded out the podium and moved into second place in the World of Outlaws championship standings.

"I feel like my car has been super consistent," he said. "We haven't obviously won both nights like James and we're definitely not happy with third, but I feel I did all I could there. We'll see what we can do tomorrow night and put our best foot forward."

Buddy Kofoid finished fourth and Brad Sweet was fifth.

Scelzi set quick time during qualifying. David Gravel, Ian Madsen, Cory Eliason and Sam Hafertepe Jr. posted heat race wins. Scelzi captured the dash and Kaleb Johnson won the Last Chance Showdown.

Goos Jr. hustled from the seventh starting position to win the 20-lap Wyffels Hybrids RaceSaver Sprint Car Series A Main.

Monty Ferriera paced the field for the first dozen laps before Goos Jr., who was committed to the top groove, used a slide job in turns one and two to take over the top spot. Ferriera stayed close before edging back into the lead on the bottom of turn three on Lap 18, but the momentum on the top propelled Goos Jr. into first place by the flag stand. Traffic on the bottom entering turn one on the ensuing lap forced Ferriera to move up and gave Goos Jr. the advantage needed to secure the triumph.

"That was a lot of fun," Goos Jr. said. "When I seen Monty I knew it had to have taken rubber on the bottom. Everybody was moving out of my way so I said as long as I can carry enough speed to get by the lapped cars he couldn't get me. I was going to move down if we didn't have the lapped cars."

Bill Johnson placed third with 14th-starting Brandon Bosma rallying to fourth. Matt Johnson rounded out the top five.

The heat races were won by Bayley Ballenger, Koby Werkmeister, Jacob Peterson and Laela Eisenschenk. Chris Graf and Mike Stien picked up B Main victories.

The 45 th annual AGCO Jackson Nationals powered by FENDT concludes on Saturday with a $25,000-to-win World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series show. The Upper Midwest Renegades Sprint Car Series will also be a part of the program, which is the final scheduled race of the season at Jackson Motorplex.

The grandstands open at 4 p.m. with hot laps at approximately 7 p.m.

LAPCEVICH WINS THE PINTY’S 100; BOWMAN CLAIMS SPRINT CAR VICTORIES AT OHSWEKEN

Story by Brent Otchere

OHSWEKEN, Ont. (August 16, 2023) – Treyten Lapcevich picked up his second consecutive Pinty’s 100 victory on Wednesday night at Ohsweken Speedway, while Mike Bowman swept both Sit’N Bull Tire Sprint Car Shootout races.

NASCAR Pinty’s Series
The Pinty’s 100 saw Treyten Lapcevich and D.J Kennington start on the front row of the 23 car NASCAR Pinty’s Series stock car field. Lapcevich quickly put a large lead over the field, and by lap eleven he already had a four second lead. The rest of the pack were racing hard, at some points even going four wide through the corners. However, it was all Lapcevich as he finished stage one in first.

Stage two was just like the first stage, with Lapcevich leading by a fair amount. However, Thomas Nepveu was a standout in the field as he began to come to grips with the dirt track style of racing and gained time on the top three. With eleven laps left to go in the stage, the main battle could be found between youngster Kyle Steckly and veteran Kennington for the second position. Lapcevich finished the stage in first with Steckly in second and Kennington third.

The final stage saw Steckly turn up the wick and apply pressure to Lapcevich. Steckly’s hard racing was rewarded when Lapcevich had a moment with lap traffic and lost the lead. Steckly became the second leader of the race, albeit only for one lap before Lapcevich reclaimed the top spot. Lapcevich wasn’t challenged for the rest of race as he put a sizable lead over Steckly again, leading 99 laps out of the 100. Lapcevich crossed the finish line first, winning the Pinty’s 100 for the second year in a row. Steckly finished in second, Andrew Ranger third, J.P. Bergeron took a career-best finish of fourth, and D.J. Kennington rounded out the top five in his 200th Pinty’s Series start.

Kool Kidz-Corr/Pak 360 Sprint Cars
Mitch Brown started on pole alongside Nick Sheridan to take the green flag for the 25 lap 360 Sprint Car A-Main. Despite Sheridan’s best efforts, he only led the first seven laps before Mike Bowman moved up from his row three starting spot to claim the lead for himself. NASCAR Truck Series regular Stewart Friesen slotted himself into the second position, setting chase to Bowman. However, Bowman opened the margin from Friesen by over four seconds.

Friesen gave it all he had to overtake Bowman, but it wasn’t in the cards for him as he ran out of laps to do so. Bowman for the second time won the event in dominating fashion, winning the $10,000 grand prize from Sit’N Bull Tire. Friesen, row eight starter Matt Farnham, Liam Martin, and Cory Turner rounded out the top five. Bowman now leads the Kool Kidz-Corr/Pak 360 Sprint Car championship standings over Ryan Turner by 16 points.

Oakwood Transport Action Sprint Tour West
Jesse Costa and Matt Billings brought the 24 car field to the green flag for the 25 lap Crate Sprint Car A-Main. Costa set the pace as he led the opening laps, encountering traffic by lap eight. The race came to halt when the red flag was thrown due to a tangle between Larry Gledhill and Steve Murdock which sent Murdock flipping violently. Murdock emerged from the wreck unharmed.

After the restart Mike Bowman was able to chase down Costa and overtake him with a slide job. Bowman drove away from the pack, building a three second lead. He cruised into victory lane winning the event for the second consecutive time and picking up the $5,000 grand prize from Sit’N Bull Tire. Next to finish were Costa in second, Billings third, Mack DeMan fourth, and Rob Neely fifth. DeMan now leads the Strickland’s Crate Sprint Car championship standings over Costa by one point.

Up Next at Ohsweken Speedway
Club 54 Racing presents the NLMA Crate Late Model Tour on Friday, August 25, plus the Kool Kidz-Corr/Pak 360 Sprint Cars, Stickland’s Crate Sprint Cars, Middleport Mechanical Thunder Stocks, and HRW Automotive Mini Stocks. Visit www.ohswekenspeedway.ca for more information.

McFadden and Johnson Produce First Career Wins at Jackson Motorplex During AGCO Jackson Nationals Powered by FENDT Opener

Inside Line Promotions - JACKSON, Minn. (Aug. 17, 2023) - James McFadden and Matt Johnson each earned a first career feature victory at Jackson Motorplex on Thursday during the opening round of the 45 th annual AGCO Jackson Nationals powered by FENDT.

Donny Schatz led the opening seven laps of the 25-lap World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series main event. McFadden tracked down Schatz by using the bottom lane and he rocketed into the lead off turn four on Lap 7.

Traffic entered the scene on the ensuing lap as McFadden led the way with Schatz in tow for the remainder of the race. A caution on Lap 18 for a blown tire for David Gravel set up the first restart of the feature. With McFadden on the bottom, Schatz rocketed around the top lane and stayed close, pulling side by side in turn two on Lap 20.

The duo was also side by side in turn four before McFadden moved up the track in a perfectly timed move to block Schatz's run. McFadden then switched lanes to the top side in turns three and four on the following lap, giving himself a bigger advantage.

"You had to be way more patient than you thought to hit the bottom," he said. "It looks like there's a lot of grip down there, but it was really technical to get to with your feet. The bottom was getting really slow in the middle there (in turns three and four) so I knew I had to move at some stage. I thought I heard Donny and I moved up."

One final caution on Lap 22 for a flat tire for Spencer Bayston bunched the field together, but McFadden was strong in the closing laps to secure his fifth World of Outlaws triumph of the season - tied for the third most.

Schatz posted a runner-up result.

"I tried a little something there in that dash just because we haven't had quite the feel," he said. "And we felt good. As the race track went away it put us in a worse spot. I was kind of married to that cushion. That's kind of the opposite of what we normally are. That was on me. I got out there early and I thought I'd be okay, but when we got to lapped traffic James was really good on the bottom. Obviously he could go to the top, too. You're damned if you do and you're damned if you don't, but you've got to learn from your mistakes and that was obviously a costly one."

Tanner Holmes, who was making his first World of Outlaws start since the announcement he'd race the remainder of the year with Shark Racing, rounded out the podium with a career-best World of Outlaws run.

"The Shark Racing guys had me dialed in," he said. "All night long we had so much speed. I'm really excited for the rest of the weekend."

Carson Macedo ended fourth and Buddy Kofoid placed fifth.

Holmes set quick time out of the 40 drivers in qualifying before Chase Randall, Robbie Price, Tim Kaeding and Cory Eliason scored heat race wins. Schatz captured the dash and Bayston won the Last Chance Showdown.

Johnson led the distance of the Wyffels Hybrids RaceSaver Sprint Car Series A Main, which included a green-white-checkered restart.

"This is awesome," he said. "It's always been a dream to win here. It just shows that our hard work pays off. All the hours in the shop pay off. It's just super rewarding."

Lee Goos Jr. recorded a second-place showing with Jacob Peterson finishing third, Brandon Bosma fourth and Brandon Buysse fifth.

Eric Schulz, Peterson, John Lambertz and Brandon Allen garnered heat race wins. The B Mains were won by Dusty Ballenger and Laela Eisenschenk.

Night 2 for the 45 th annual AGCO Jackson Nationals powered by FENDT is Friday. The grandstands open at 4 p.m. with hot laps set for 6:30 p.m.

Abreu and Ferguson Victorious at Huset's Speedway During Northwest Tire Inc. High Limit Sprint Car Series Presented by Bank Midwest Event

Inside Line Promotions - BRANDON, S.D. (Aug. 15, 2023) - Rico Abreu capitalized on a late-race restart to capture the $23,023-to-win Northwest Tire Inc. High Limit Sprint Car Series presented by Bank Midwest sprint car feature on Tuesday at Huset's Speedway.

Brandon Ferguson was also victorious as he became the seventh different Nordstrom's Automotive Late Model Street Stocks feature winner this season.

Abreu's winning move was a slide job on Robbie Price in turns one and two on a restart with seven laps remaining before he pulled away for his second High Limit Sprint Car Series triumph of the season. He also became the 12 th different 410ci winged sprint car winner in 14 Cressman Sanitation 410 Outlaw Sprint Cars races at Huset's Speedway this season.

"I just knew the tire pressures were going to come into play at the end there," he said. "That was a lot of hard racing. This is probably the most demanding track that we come to in a season where it's fast paced like that. Robbie did an amazing job there. If the roles were reversed he probably would have done the same thing to me."

Price led from the drop of the green flag during a 35-lap feature that was slowed early by a trio of red flags within the first three laps. A long green-flag run followed with Price pacing the field while running the top around the high-banked oval.

Abreu and Buddy Kofoid swapped the runner-up position multiple times throughout the race with Abreu securing the spot before the final caution. He then dropped to the bottom groove entering turn one as Price ran the top on the restart. Abreu slid up in front of Price in turn two and was able to hold onto the top spot for the remainder of the race.

"The caution definitely played in our favor there," Abreu said. "That's just how it goes in racing."

Kofoid slid Price for second place in turns one and two the lap after the restart to garner the second-place showing.

"Traffic was going to make it interesting," Kofoid said. "Once I got clear of some of the other lappers I was able to inch toward Robbie. I felt pretty damn good for the most part. I just stumbled on the top one time into (turns) three and four. That was the only time I got tight and that let Rico by. We were able to go back and forth however many different times. He was able to get me at the right time and then the yellow came out unfortunately."

Price held on for a third-place finish, which was his best result of the season.

"I felt decent in traffic," he said. "I was starting to hang a little bit coming off each corner. I about plugged it into the flagstand with about 15 (laps) to go. I felt really good around the top. I ran the bottom once and I felt decent down there, but I felt like I could keep my momentum a lot better ripping the top. On the restart I knew better. I felt I got a decent run down the hill. I probably should have tried to slide myself. I feel like I knew better, but it's also hard to abandon what you've been doing the past 30 laps. I'm a little frustrated, but it's a good run - the best run of the year for us."

Kerry Madsen placed fourth and Justin Sanders was fifth. Kyle Larson hustled from 17 th to sixth.

Kofoid and Abreu each set quick time during qualifying in their group before the heat races were won by Kofoid, Ryan Timms, Price and Aaron Reutzel. Price picked up the dash victory with Ian Madsen claiming the C Main and Cole Macedo the B Main.

Ferguson led the distance of the 18-lap Nordstrom's Automotive Late Model Street Stocks main event, winning for the first time in the division at Huset's Speedway.

"Wooooooo," he exclaimed into the microphone during the post-race interview. "That's how it feels. I am so happy. My wife finally came and got to witness me win in the thing and I'm so happy about it."

A trio of cautions in the first half of the race kept Ferguson out of traffic throughout the race. Dan Jensen ran a close second lap after lap before ending 0.675 seconds behind Ferguson. Garet Deboer ended third with Matt Steuerwald finishing fourth and J.J. Zebell fifth.

Ferguson and Deboer were the heat race winners.

The next event at Huset's Speedway is Aug. 27 for Royal River Casino Night featuring the Cressman Sanitation 410 Outlaw Sprint Cars, the Nordstrom's Automotive Late Model Street Stocks and the Wyffels Hybrids RaceSaver Sprint Car Series.

Bowman Sweeps Sit’n Bull Shootout for $15,000 Payday

OHSWEKEN, Ont. (August 14, 2023) — Mike Bowman picked up a $15,000 payday after sweeping both the Southern Ontario Sprints winged 360 sprint cars and Action Sprint Tour crate sprint car features during opening night of the Sit’n Bull Tire Shootout at Ohsweken Speedway

Bowman, from St. Catharines, Ontario, continues to make the transition to winged sprint car racing look easy lapping up to second place in the crate sprint car main and catching Corner Turner for the lead in the 360 sprint car feature, then pulling away from DIRTcar modified and NASCAR Truck Series standout Stewart Friesen. The wins were Bowman’s seventh and eighth of the 2023 sprint car season.

With the track at Ohsweken rolled in tight for the NASCAR Pinty’s Series race that runs alongside the sprint cars this week at Ohsweken, it played into the modified veteran’s strengths.

“This slick stuff really fires in my wheelhouse. Run it on a small block big block modifieds on this so much it really teaches you to have a steady foot and to drive a tight race car,” said Bowman. “I have thank my guys again. Doing this double duty thing, winning back to back races on same night, it’s seriously not even possible without the dedicated group we got here.”

Frisien was not content with second place despite rarely driving a sprint car these days.

“Big thanks to the whole GSR team for the opportunity, ” said Friesen. We had a really good car, just got caught racing the boss their and got held up a little bit. I’ve got Doug Emery working for us, Red Stratford and Lee Winger, the guys in the shop there do what a great job and have been friends of mine for a long time. Appreciate Glenn (Styres) having us up here and it’s kind of bitter I hopefully we come back tomorrow and show what’s up.”

Even thought Turner gave up second position to Friesen late in the feature, he was content with gains his team has made on the race car recently.

“We were pretty good. We’ve found a setup for our car latelyt that has really made a huge difference. We’ve got the drive here on this smooth slick surfaces we like, so I’m looking forward to tomorrow.”

Big Trophy Night wins go to Justyn Cox, Matt Micheli, Kevin Jinkerson and Mike Miller

By Gary Thomas

Placerville, CA…The annual Big Trophy Night at Placerville Speedway saw current SCCT point leader Justyn Cox dominate the feature for his second consecutive victory with the Thompson’s Winged Sprint Cars on Saturday.

Also scooping up wins on Coors Light Big Trophy Night were Matt Micheli with the Anrak Ltd. Late Models, Kevin Jinkerson with the Red Hawk Casino Pure Stocks and Mike Miller in the 2023 Mini Truck finale. Miller also wrapped up his second career Truck title at Placerville Speedway.

The 25-lap Thompson’s Family of Dealerships Winged Sprint Car main event began with Justyn Cox jumping into the lead. The action was hot and heavy right from the start with several drivers battling it out just behind the leader. The initial eight circuits clicked off caution free, before a yellow and red in subsequent laps was seen.

On the restart Cox led Sean Becker, Andy Forsberg, Jake Andreotti and Colby Johnson in the top-five. Another slowdown on lap 12 set up a restart that got fans out of their seat, as Forsberg charged around Cox to grab the top-spot. Cox stuck with it though and slid back in front the following corner to reassume the point.

After that, Cox was never seriously challenged en route to accepting the Ron Stahl checkered flag for his 12th career Winged 360 Sprint Car triumph at the track. By doing so he tied Shane Golobic, Andy Gregg, Scooter Lambert and Stephen Allard for 14th on the all-time list.

Andreotti must be commended as well for putting together his finest night yet at Placerville Speedway aboard a Sprint Car. The Castro Valley racer earned the ADCO Driveline Fast Time Award to begin the evening and capped it with a runner up effort in the feature.

Forsberg crossed the stripe in third, with 11th starting Tony Gomes battling his way to fourth and Gauge Garcia rounding out the top-five. Ashton Torgerson charged from 14th to sixth, while Johnson, Becker, point leader Michael Faccinto and Ashlyn Rodriguez rounded out the top-10.

Winged Sprint Car results: 1. 42X-Justyn Cox[2]; 2. 7P-Jake Andreotti[6]; 3. 92-Andy Forsberg[4]; 4. 7C-Tony Gomes[11]; 5. 21X-Gauge Garcia[9]; 6. 88-Ashton Torgerson[14]; 7. 38-Colby Johnson[1]; 8. 35-Sean Becker[5]; 9.

Live Oak, CA competitor Matt Micheli started from the outside of row one and kept everyone at bay to record his 26th career Anrak Ltd. Late Model victory on Saturday.

Early in the 20-lap finale Micheli felt pressure from last week’s Carnett Clash winner Paul Gugliomoni. Lincoln’s Dan Brown Jr. then climbed into second place with a handful of laps remaining and kept the leader honest at times.

Micheli hit his marks however and brought home the dub over Brown, Gugliomoni, point leader Dan Jinkerson and Rod Oliver. Micheli has been one of the very best behind the wheel of a Ltd. Late Model on the red clay, ranking number two in all-time wins.

Late Model results: 1. 96M-Matt Micheli[2]; 2. 15-Dan Brown Jr[6]; 3. 22G-Paul Gugliomoni[3]; 4. 23-Dan Jinkerson[4]; 5. 57-Rod Oliver[1]; 6. 37-Ray Trimble[5]; 7. 23J-Tyler Lightfoot[9]; 8. 71T-Wayne Trimble[8]; 9. 71-Shawn DeForest[7]; 10. 115-Chris Mcginnis[10]; 11. 777-Michael Anderson[11]

The 20-lap Red Hawk Casino Pure Stock main event saw Kevin Jinkerson and Richard Brace Jr. share the front row. At the waving of the green flag Jinkerson charged into the lead with Nick Baldwin battling his way into the runner up spot.

Jinkerson, Baldwin and Brace raced closely together for a majority of the contest. The top-two ran the bottom to perfection, while third place Brace tested the waters on the high-side of the bullring. With the laps winding down Baldwin hounded the rear bumper of Jinkerson, but the Diamond Springs driver held him off for the victory.

It marked the second win of the season for Jinkerson and his eighth career triumph at the track. Baldwin, Brace, Tyler Lightfoot and Kenny Bernstein completed the top-five in the feature.

Pure Stock results: 1. 30-Kevin Jinkerson[1]; 2. 17-Nick Baldwin[3]; 3. 86-Richard Brace Jr[2]; 4. 23-Tyler Lightfoot[5]; 5. 43-Kenny Bernstein[6]; 6. 48-John Evans[4]; 7. 54-Vigna Anthony[7]; 8. 25-Ryan Parkhurst[9]; 9. 55-Micky Dangelo[8]; 10. 93-Mel Byers[11]; 11. 23D-Angela Dias[10]

Mike Miller started from the front row and wrapped up the championship in style with a dominant drive in the 20-lap Mini Truck finale.

Miller sat out front by a comfortable margin for most of the contest, although Kevin Jinkerson did close in at the end. Miller picked up his third win of the year over Jinkerson, Thomas Jensen, Logan Lakin and Wyatt Lakin.

Mini Truck results: 1. 16-Mike Miller[2]; 2. 03-Kevin Jinkerson[6]; 3. 112-Thomas Jensen[4]; 4. 08-Logan Lakin[3]; 5. 04-Wyatt Lakin[10]; 6. 26-Paizlee Miller[11]; 7. 21-Paige Miller[5]; 8. 75-Brycen Bragg[8]; 9. 28-Howard Miller[7]; 10. 7-Luke Costa[1]; 11. 07-Michael Murphy[9]; 12.

Placerville Speedway is dark this coming weekend but returns in a big way on Saturday August 26th with Legends Night, which also doubles as the Western Sprint Tour Speedweek finale. It also marks the Hoosier Tires championship point finale for the speedway, showcasing the Thompson’s Winged 360 Sprint Cars, Anrak Late Models, Red Hawk Casino Pure Stocks and Dwarf Cars.

DRAKE EDWARDS CAPTURES MARYSVILLE RACEWAY PARK WMR VICTORY

MARYSVILLE, CALIFORNIA (August 12, 2023) – Drake Edwards of Surprise, Ariz. earned his fourth points-paying Western Midget Racing win of 2023 when he captured Saturday’s action at Marysville Raceway after a 20-lap feature. Edwards became the third different WMR winner in the series’ three appearances at the speedway.

Santa Cruz’ Logan Mitchell and points leader Bryant Bell of Oakley split the eight-lap heat races. A five car inversion placed Livermore’s Greg Dennett and Edwards onto the front row. 13 Midgets charged into turn one for the main event but trouble struck the field immediately. Lodi’s Nate Wait tagged Mitchell, sending him into a hard flip to end his race in the first corner. Bell struggled to refire during the stoppage as well, with the top-two in the championship both retiring from the race.

Edwards and Dennett then collided on the restart in turn one, relegating both cars to the rear of the field.

Jerry Kobza assumed the lead while Edwards charged through the pack. Edwards was up into second by lap three then drove to the outside of Kobza for the lead. Wait crashed in turn one for a caution and Edwards was credited with leading lap four by just .029 seconds.

Edwards led the field into lapped traffic on lap 10. The final caution of the race fell when Kobza spun from second trying to navigate the traffic.

Drake Edwards crossed the line first followed by San Jose’s Anthony Bruno in a career-best second with Adrianna DeMartini of Brentwood earning another podium finish during her rookie campaign. Dennett and Santa Clarita’s Adam Weisberg rounded out the top-five.

Western Midget Racing makes its debut appearance at Bakersfield Speedway up next on September 2!

Ryan Litt won Saturday's Must See Racing sprint car race at Berlin Raceway, his first series victory of the season.

MARNE, Mich. (Aug. 12, 2023) – Prior to Saturday’s Must See Racing Engine Pro Sprint Car Series race at Berlin Raceway, Canadian Ryan Litt felt as though the seven-sixteenth-mile oval owed him a good day.

Considering that – during his last visit to the track in July – Litt endured a harrowing supermodified accident that sent him to the hospital, his feelings were understandably justified.

But Saturday night, Litt came back to Berlin with his family-owned sprint car and collected on that debt, dominating Must See Racing’s third and final visit to the track this season to pick up a much-needed win.

Litt roared forward from ninth starting position, took the lead on a lap-11 restart and never looked back, staying out front for the remainder of the 30-lap feature en route to his third career Must See Racing victory and first of the season.

The London, Ontario, native was masterful through traffic and bested runner-up Jimmy McCune, who was seeking his fourth straight series win, by 3.874 seconds in the end.

It led to an emotional celebration in victory lane capped by Litt’s climb atop his familiar orange and white No. 07 sprint car.

“I think this is our fifth win here overall, and I just love coming here. I don’t know what it is,” Litt noted in victory lane. “Last time I left in an ambulance, and that wasn’t a fun night, but this here was a lot better tonight. Any time you can pass guys like Jason Blonde and Jimmy McCune, it’s a pretty big deal.

“It’s hard starting deep like we had to. You just get in the dirty air and it’s so much harder to go forward, but we found a way and my dad had the car lights out. It would go anywhere I needed it to go and that’s what you need to be able to win in a field as competitive as this one.”

Floridians Tommy Nichols and Shane Butler shared the front row for the night’s main event after a 10 inversion was rolled by fast qualifier Charlie Schultz, and it was Butler who got out front early on, pacing the first five circuits before the night’s surprise performer stepped forward from the middle of the pack.

White Hare Racing’s Bobby Komisarski raced from fourth to pass Butler for the top spot on the fifth rotation, leading his first laps in Must See Racing competition and appearing to be a serious threat to collect his first series win in a minor upset.

Komisarski led by more than two seconds when Butler slowed with oil pressure issues on lap 10, leading to a three-wide pass for second by Litt moments before a caution was called to set up the lone restart of the night.

With Litt to his outside, Komisarski tried valiantly to hold the lead when the green flag returned, but was unable to do so. He eventually settled in behind Litt and McCune and ended up with a career-best finish of third.

“Ryan and Jimmy just have so much [time and experience] invested in this series that they had me beat tonight,” said Komisarski. “We haven’t been in that position, leading on a restart, a lot yet with this new team and just got beat … but we can’t hang our heads. This is a great result for Gene [Fogle, car owner] and this whole White Hare team and it’s proof that we can run up front with these guys like we’ve been striving for all season.

“Just happy for the team and it means a lot. I really feel like our day will be coming and this is a confidence booster that gives us some momentum heading into these last few races this season.”

Jason Blonde, who finished fourth, collected the top bonus prize as the winner of the Engine Pro Fast Car Dash mini-series. Defending series champion Charlie Schultz closed the top five.

Schultz kicked off the program with a fast lap of 13.217 seconds in qualifying, completing a sweep of all three Berlin fast times with Must See Racing this season. Dorman Snyder and Rick Holley won heat races.

The Must See Racing Engine Pro Sprint Car Series season continues Saturday, Aug. 19 with the second annual Bob Frey Classic at Ohio’s Lorain Raceway Park.

KALEB MONTGOMERY BRINGS FAMILY OWNED CAR TO OCEAN SPEEDWAY VICTORY LANE

WATSONVILLE, CALIFORNIA (August 12, 2023) – Templeton’s Kaleb Montgomery steered his family owned No. 3 Sprint Car to victory lane in the Ocean Sprints presented by Taco Bravo on Friday night, becoming the tenth different winner of the Sprint Car season at Ocean Speedway in Watsonville. Montgomery’s win came during the Tribute to Terry Traub night which attracted nearly 80 entries across five divisions at the Santa Cruz County Fairgrounds speedplant.

Hanford’s DJ Netto led time trials while Lemoore teenager Gauge Garcia won the Gizdich Ranch Dash for the pole of the 30-lap feature.

Montgomery knifed to the inside of Garcia in turn four to take the lead on lap one. The race was then stopped when Jason Chisum of Salinas nerfed nose first into the front stretch dirt and was collected by Vince Gianotta of Hollister.

Incoming points leader Rickey Sanders of Watsonville nabbed second on the restart and July 28 winner Joey Ancona of Concord took over third. Bryce Eames of Santa Maria stopped exiting turn two for the next caution on lap four.

Hanford’s DJ Netto began to make his presence felt from third position in lapped traffic before a caution on lap ten. Netto used the restart to advance into second past Sanders. Montgomery led the field into traffic again at the halfway point and was slowed slightly in turn three, allowing Netto to take the lead on lap 16.

Ancona suffered a major side over side flip in turn one to bring out the red flag on lap 18. Two-time 2023 winner Mitchell Faccinto of Hanford retired with a mechanical issue as well, relegating the only two 2023 Ocean winners in the field out of the race.

Montgomery slid back into the lead on lap 19 but Faccinto answered back with a slidejob of his own to lead lap 20. Ryan Rocha flipped hard and landed on his lid but was uninjured.

Both 13th-starting Caeden Steele and 2022 champion Kurt Nelson of Gilroy overhauled rookie Caleb Debem to knock him out of the top-five on the restart.

Netto’s bid for victory ended when he ran into the back of the lapped car of Don Hart of Campo on lap 28, spinning to a stop to surrender the lead.

Montgomery assumed the top spot and fended off a challenge from Sanders for the victory. Nelson finished third followed by Steele and Easton’s Michael Pombo. Faccinto was awarded the Beer Optics Hard Luck award.

Multi-time Ocean Speedway Hobby Stock champion Rob Gallaher of San Jose won the 33-lap Tribute to Terry Traub feature, winning $333 for topping a 16-car field. Watsonville’s Sam Kennedy led the way from the pole while Gallaher advanced from fifth on the grid. Gallaher took second on the outside on lap six, then challenged Kennedy on the outside for the lead. Gallaher nabbed the point on lap 11 on the backstretch.

A furious battle for the positions behind Gallaher and Kennedy ensued, entertaining the Watsonville faithful. Watsonville drivers Adrianne Frost and Jerry Skelton spun for a caution. Prunedale’s Shane Freeman suffered a flat right front tire but was able to rejoin the action. Watsonville’s Dakota Keldsen also spun. All three incidents took place by the halfway mark of the race.

Todd Gomez of Antioch capitalized and worked from 12th on the grid up to third. Frost, points leader and defending champion Joe Gallaher, and Gomez staged a great race for the third position. At the finish, Rob Gallaher enjoyed a big win followed by Kennedy, Gomez, Frost, and Joe Gallaher.

Bryant Bell of Oakley won his first Ocean Speedway Western Midget Racing win on Friday night, winning his fourth feature of the WMR season and taking over the points lead.

Bell and his rookie teammate Adrianna DeMartini of Brentwood split the eight-lap heat races in Watsonville. They shared the front row for the 20-lap main event.

Surprise, Ariz.’s Drake Edwards used the outside line to quickly charge from sixth to third at the drop of the green flag. DeMartini and Bell raced side-by-side for the lead with DeMartini leading lap one before Bell led lap two. Edwards swooped past them both to lead lap three.

Bell followed Edwards on the high line as they charged ahead of the field. Bell then drove underneath Edwards to retake the lead on lap nine. The leaders then approached lapped traffic by lap 14. Edwards used the traffic as a pick to execute a crossover in turn two but it was nullified. Incoming points leader Logan Mitchell of Santa Cruz flipped hard in turns three and four. He was able to walk away from a battered No. 96x Boss Chassis.

Bell never relinquished the lead on the way to his sixth-career WMR win and the points lead. Edwards finished second followed by DeMartini, Lodi’s Nate Wait, and two-time defending champion Blake Bower of Brentwood.

IMCA Sport Modified state championship contender Jason Ryan, Jr. of Oakley prevailed for his fourth win of the season in a 20-lap contest. Austin McMillin of Atascadero led the first three laps before Chowchilla’s Emali VanHoff took the lead. Ryan emerged from a three-wide battle for second with the position on lap five. McMillin then spun for a caution on lap seven. Ryan used the restart to drive inside VanHoff to lead lap eight.

Ryan built up a three-second lead which was erased when Jonathan Hagio of Prunedale went straight up the track in turn four and came to a stop on lap 17. Ryan held the lead to the finish while Trevor Clymens of Brentwood finished second followed by VanHoff, Frost, and Watsonville’s Steven Allee.

Jason Lazzerini of Moss Landing moved closer to the 2023 Four Banger championship with a dominating win in the 15-lap race. Lazzerini started 12th but took over the lead from Thomas Cumming by just the second lap. TJ Santos of Gilroy, Ken Keegan of Scotts Valley, Kate Beardsley of Felton, and Matt Hill of Felton were the top-five finishers.

Up next for Ocean Speedway is the two-day Johnny Key Classic. Ocean Sprints presented by Taco Bravo compete Friday night, then are joined by Sprint Car Challenge Tour Sprint Cars on Saturday night. For more information visit www.OceanSpeedway.com

Curtain Falls on 2023 Season at Double X Speedway—Champions Crowned in three divisions for 2023

Double X Speedway

California, MO

August 6, 2023

By: Dean Reichel

The final checkered flag of 2023 fell at Double X Speedway on Sunday night. Following the events on the track, season long awards were presented to the drivers who earned the honors. But before the festivities would begin there was racing action to be held.

Starting off the evening were the Pure Stock cars with two heat races to be contested. In heat one Shannon Sullivan would lead lap one but Chris Messerli would use the high road in turn four to take the lead on lap two and not be challenged for the duration. Russell Beach would finish second, John Shane finished third and Shannon Sullivan would be credited with fourth after a spin on the final lap as the leaders was taking the checkered flag. The second heat would see Shayne Healea and Darin Porter battle each lap for the lead, Porter would make several strong attempts but Healea would not be denied in taking the victory. Porter would cross the strip in second, Curt Turpin finishes third and Rhonda Lamke rounds out the field.

The Super Stocks saw two of the top drivers in National POWRi points in competition once again at Double X. The first heat saw Dale Berry take the early lead only to have it erased by mechanical issues handing the lead to Harlan Dowell on lap three. Dowell would carry the momentum to the checkered flag. James Nishwonger, a national title contender in the division would finish second, Adam Halley finished third, Ryan Shikles was fourth, Jimmy Burrus fifth and Dale Berry was credited with sixth. Heat two had Tyler Crocker taking the lead on lap one while Jody Romig and Ted Welschmeyer would battle for second. At the checkered flag it was Crocker winning heat number two with Romig in second, Welschmeyer third, Steve Beach fourth and Joe Miller completing the field.

The Winged Sprint Cars also set the feature lineup by virtue of two heat races. In heat one, fresh off of a “E” Main victory Saturday night at the 360 Nationals in Knoxville, IA, Tyler Blank ran off from the field in picking up the victory. Taylor Walton woud advance to second, Ben Brown would finish third, Doug Fry fourth, Russell Potter would finish fifth, Tucker Daly sixth and Skylar Daly seventh. Heat two saw the “Lone Jack Posse” making up 75% of the front two rows. Jack Wagner wasted little time moving to the front with brother Samuel settling into second and fellow posse member Garret Hulsey moving into third. This would be the finishing order for the top three with Rob Rimel moving u to fourth, Kendall Weymuth fifth and Blake Bowers finishing sixth.

The make up feature from last week for the Winged Sprint Cars would be the first race in the track after intermission. Wagner Brothers Racing made up the front row. At the drop of the green it was a drag race into turn one with Samuel Wagner outing the #73 machine to the point with brother Jack in tow. It took Tyler Blank three laps to move into third with Ben Brown and Skylar Daly in the top five. Biding his time Jack Wagner moved into the top spot on lap eleven and Tyler Blank would move into second on lap twelve. By lap fifteen the lead duo were working their way around lapped cars with Wagner maintaining a six car length advantage over Blank. Running green to checkered it was “Gentleman” Jack Wagner picking up the feature win in the “Jason Russell Memorial” Sprint Car Main Event. Tyler Blank finishes second, Samuel Wagner third, Taylor Walton was awarded the “Hard Charger” award from the Russell family for his drive from thirteenth to fourth and Ben Brown would complete the top five.

Leading off the Championship night card of feature events were the Pure Stocks. Shayne Healea would take the early lead before National Pure Stock points contender Darin Porter would move to the point. Porter would maintain the lead to the checkered flag with Healea finishing second, Chris Messerli runs third, John Shane would finish a strong fourth with Russell Beach fifth and Rhonda Lamke finishing sixth.

Super Stocks took to the track to complete their season finale at Double X for 2023. Tyler Crocker took the lead at the drop of the green with Jody Romig making a strong move into second. Crocker would bring out a caution with mechanical issues on lap three with Romig taking over the lead. On lap six Romig would bring out a caution by looping his car in turn three. This would place Ted Welschmeyer in the rocking chair with a hard charging James Nishwonger in second. Nishwonger would run the high line challenging the 6Z of Welschmeyer and would take the lead coming out of turn two on lap eleven but it was erased as the caution flag flew before the lap was complete. A lap fourteen caution as Nishwonger tried a different line going into turn one and ran out of real estate spinning himself out in the process. A green, white, checkered restart would occur with Welschmeyer prevailing over Harlan Dowell in second, Steve Beach with an impressive drive to third, James Nishwonger recovered to finish fourth edging Joe Miller at the line with Miller finishing fifth.

The final Winged Sprint Car Feature of 2023 would see the top two in season points, Jack Wagner and Tyler Blank, tied at 1503 points each. Starting side by side for the main event Blank would take the lead on lap one but a caution for a spinning Rob Rimel would negate the charge and set up for a complete restart. When the green flag dropped on the restart, Blank would again take the lead running a low line into turn one with Jack Wagner following along in second. A lap four caution for Taylor Walton would bunch the field behind the leader. Blank would lead until lap nine with Wagner moving back to the point for the next two circuits. A caution on lap twelve would bring the field to Wagner’s rear bumper, on the restart Blank would overtake the #77 for the lead. Tight racing between the the leaders would see Blank spinning off the top of turn one and retiring to the pit area on lap nineteen.

Flick on fire winning Michaels memorial $4000 410 sprint feature at mercer; Rudolph takes $3000 in BRP mods; Kornbau wins 4th in 305s; Guidace earns 2nd win in FASTRAK mods; Ealy takes 2nd in mini stocks.

By Jim Balentine
(Mercer,Pa)

After a rain out last week Michaels mercer raceway was blessed with 105 cars in 5 divisions and a full grandstand as well as autograph night for all the fans as they meet the drivers prior to the racing action. The Michaels family was honored for the event as current owner Ed Michaels and his family rebuilt mercer from the dead in 1994 and retook it over in 2019.

Sunbelt rentals was the sponsor of the 410 sprints and Ermes Inc sponsored the BRP modified tour.

AJ Flick stormed to his 2nd mercer 410 sprint car win in 2 races collecting $4000 and his 2nd win of the weekend. Ransomville NY standout Erick Rudolph won the $3000 to win BRP modified tour race also for his 2nd of the weekend. Winning their 2nd features of the year was Frank Guidace in the FASTRAK crate modifieds and Carl Ealy in the mini stocks, and Jeremy Kornbau collected his 4th Racesaver 305 sprint win of the season.

AJ Flick has again been the man to beat locally as he now has 12 wins for the 2023 season, but as was the case last weekend had to contend with Mike Bauer again as the duo would put on a masterful show in the nonstop 30 lapper. Bauer who has 4 career mercer 410 wins and 13 time winner Adam Kekich would lead the field to green with Flick starting 3rd. Bauer, who won elsewhere last weekend was the man to beat for the first 17 laps as he would hold Flick at bay lap after lap as they would run side by side for many laps. Flick would finally get around on lap 18 but Bauer would not give up keeping behind for the next few laps until lap 25 when Flick would start to pull away and never look back as he picks up his 3rd career mercer 410 win and $4000 by 4 seconds in the nonstop 8:26 30 lapper. Adam Kekich would run 3rd the entire race, 23 time winner bob Felmlee finished 4th and Cody Bova 5th. Flick would say “ Mike (Bauer)is a good driver that has made that car better and I don’t believe these wins come easy…this race track has taken a turn for the absolute better for 2023!! it’s a phenomenal track…We were going through lapped traffic and I knew my car would come to me and I was watching mike trying to get through lapped traffic and when you can run right behind the leader in dirty air you know you have a good car. I took the lead going into 3 and knew I could take the win. It’s special to win here for the Michaels memorial and the $4000 and hopefully you can reschedule the $7000 summer slam and we can come back for that!”

In the $3000 to win BRP big block modified portion of the Michaels memorial 10 time mercer winner and longtime veteran Dave Murdick would lead from the pole and was poised to pick up the win at the track he started at in 1979. Murdick would lead the first 18 of 19 laps. 2nd place runner Will Thomas would run second keeping Murdick within 1.3 seconds of his sight. But on lap 9 teammate and 2 time winner Garrett Krummert would get around Thomas and start to reel in Murdick. Meanwhile Eric Rudolph would be slowly and silently coming up through the field and would overtake Krummert on lap 14 for 2nd. Murdick would try his best to hold off Rudolph but on lap 20 Rudolph would get around and cruise to the win by 4.484 over Murdick. Rex King Jr would get around Krummert for 3rd on lap 25 and finish there. Krummert was 4th and Thomas would finish 5th. “It’s been a heckuva weekend yeah this week’s been been really awesome. We picked up a win earlier this week and and then come down here and get 2 in a row is awesome!”I think we’re on to something with this car here and feels great to have a little bit of momentum. I was on him (Murdick) for a while. I thought I may been a little bit faster than him but I was kind of searching low and hi and I knew where he was. He was really consistent with where he was running and was able to slip by up too the car was really racy tonight.”

In the Racesaver 305 sprints former track champ Jarrett Rosencrance would start on the pole and look for his 2nd career mercer checkered. Young gun Shane Heath would be running in second behind Rosencrance and was looking to pick up his best career finish until motor problems sidelined him on lap 8. 3 time winner and point leader Jeremy Kornbau would start 7th and by lap 7 would be up to 3rd. After the caution Kornbau would then challenge Rosencrance and would overtake him on lap 10 and would go on to win by 4.739. The real battle for for 2nd-4th as Rosencrance would hold onto 2nd until lap 15 when Nolan Groves would take over and finish a mercer career best 2nd. Last time winner Jake Gomola would be 3rd, Rosencrance fell to 4th and Vivian Jones was 5th. Kornbau would say “it was tough behind cars we tightened it up to be good in clean air but it was starting to work and I could run harder and get better. me and Shane were battling for 2nd then Jarrett has been tough but we keep plugging away and this is my girlfriend’s 1st race so I’m glad she’s here. We work hard on the car even with the rain out to make sure everything is working on it.”

The FASTRAK crate modified feature went down the the very last corner in an exciting 20 lapper. Veteran Bill Adams started on the pole and led the first half of the race. Multiple crashes and cautions would plague the first 5 laps however. Once racing resumed Gage Priester who has won went on the year, overtook Adams on lap number 8 to take the lead at the line. Brandon Ritchey would then move into 2nd then another yellow came out on lap 10. Priester would lead with Adams showing his nose to the leader. Meanwhile Frank Guidace would be slowly working the high side lap after lap trying to gain ground. Adams and Priester would then battle and Adams would go to the inside to lead lap 16. Adams begin to pull away and Guidace got around 2 cars to go into 2nd but then the yellow was displayed once more time. On the restart with 2 laps to go Priester would go to the inside and go 3 wide into turn 1 with Guidace on the high side to take the lead then around turn 4 Priester would go low and all 3 would tangle with Guidace coming out the winner. Ritchey would be 2nd, Adams was 3rd, 4th was Priester and Cole Edwards was 5th. Guidace would say “I wanted to run the high side and I geared it that way and then I got it on the bottom. I don’t even know who won the race I didn’t even see the checkered flag!! I want apologize to the 71. I feel bad about that but I was upfront I just didn’t see him coming across the bottom..i Gotta make sure I go to tech. I was replaying that final lap over 25 minutes on where I should go on that restart and it paid off “

25 mini stocks would take the green for $400 to win. josh Eakman would lead lap one with Devin Haley 2nd both looking for their 1st career mercer win. A fire in the Andrew Thompson car would bring out the red with Thompson emerging ok. On the restart Haley would take the lead and bring Randy Ealy into 2nd with 11 time winner Carl Ealy and 18 time winner Andy Thompson in tow. Randy would go high and lose positions and would fall back to 4th. Carl would then go to the inside of Haley for the lead then they yellow came back out. At halfway Carl would take the lead with Thompson following and Haley would retire to the pits. Carl would hold off Thompson for his 12th win. Randy Ealy was 3rd, Josh Eakman 4th and Mike Aley 5th.

Next week will be the 410 sprint cars returning for $3000 to win along with a second appearance of the UMP dirt Modifieds, along with the Racesaver 305 sprints, FASTRAK crate modifieds, mini stocks with an appearance of the Young Guns Junior sprints.

Schmidt cashes in 2023 PDTR 360 Sprint Car victory No. 7

Pearson, Warner, Heinert claim PDTR A-main wins

(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) August 5, 2023 – Twelve years after collecting his first Plymouth Dirt Track Racing 360 Sprint Car championship, Ben Schmidt of Plymouth continued his quest for a second division crown by racking up his seventh Akright Auto PDTR 360 Sprint Car A-main victory of the 2023 season at The Plymouth Dirt Track in Plymouth, Wis. on Saturday, Aug. 5.

Justin Pearson of Horicon tallied his second 25-lap Oostburg Auto Grand National A-main triumph of the 2023 campaign.

In the 25-lap Next Step Insurance B Mod main event, Malone’s Tim Warner earned his fourth A-main victory of the 2023 PDTR season.

Mark Heinert of Oak Creek notched his second IRA Lightning Sprints A-main triumph of the 2023 Plymouth Dirt Track Racing season and sixth overall 2023 A-main victory by topping the 20-lap 106.5 The Buzz guest division main event.

Outside front row starter Brandon Berth of Cascade outpowered rookie polesitter Hayden Johnson of Campbellsport to grab the lead in turn one of the opening lap of the 25-lap PDTR-Midwest Sprint Car Association 360 Sprint Car A main, while sixth starter Ben Schmidt used the extreme outside groove to vault into third in turn two.

On lap 2, T.J. Smith of Greenville spun in turn two to bring out the first of two caution flags. On the restart, Schmidt wasted no time as he blasted his way around Berth in turn two on lap 3 to take over the top spot.

Schmidt built up a solid cushion at the head of the field over the next four laps before catching up to the back of the pack on lap 8, which allowed Berth to reduce the lead gap.

On lap 12, Berth closed to within striking distance of Schmidt, as the leaders weaved their way through thick lapped traffic on the well-manicured, multi-groove track surface. Berth continued to hound Schmidt over the next 12 circuits until the second and final caution flag was displayed on 24 when Chris Flick of Beaver Dam spun to a stop near the turn four wall.

Following a single-file green-white-checkered flag restart, Schmidt bolted away from Berth and the rest of the pack en route to his 22nd career PDTR 360 Sprint Car A-main victory, 41st career MSA 360 Sprint Car triumph, seventh A-main win of the 2023 PDTR 360 Sprint Car season and ninth over MSA main event win of his stellar 2023 campaign.

The win moved Schmidt, who captured the 2011 MSA 360 Sprint Car title, into sole possession of fourth place on the all-time PDTR 360 Sprint Car A-main victory list and into a tie for third on the all-time MSA 360 Sprint A-main win list with four-time MSA champion Brandon McMullen of Oshkosh.

“Hats off to the track prep crew tonight for giving us a great track to race on,” Schmidt said. “The track was fast and smooth and there was a nice cushion to run tonight.”

Berth wound up second, two-time PDTR 360 Sprint Car champion Brandon McMullen charged up from the 14th starting spot to finish third, rookie Logan Julien of Oconomowoc placed fourth after starting seventh and fifth starter Kevin Karnitz of West Bend rounded out the top five.

Outside front row starter Chad Espen of West Bend jumped into the lead in the first turn of the opening lap of the 25-lap PDTR Grand National A main. On lap 2, fourth starter Justin Pearson moved up to take over the second spot in turn two.

One lap later, Pearson used a high move to power his way into the lead along the back stretch. On lap 4, third starter Will Sorce of Franklin engaged in a duel with Espen for second before taking over the runner-up spot in turn two on lap five.

As Pearson controlled the lead, Brian Gilles of Plymouth, a six-time Plymouth track champion in the Super Stock and Grand National divisions, moved up from his sixth starting position to work past Espen to secure third on lap 10.

Sorce caught Pearson on lap 13 and the two ran nose to tail along primarily the high line and middle groove of the third-mile clay oval during the second half of the race. The leaders caught lapped traffic on lap 20, which allowed Sorce to duck under Pearson on a couple of occasions.

However, Pearson was up to the challenge as he held off Sorce over the final five laps en route to his second career PDTR Grand National A-main victory in the caution-free race.

Sorce placed second, Gilles finished third, 2022 PDTR Grand National champ Luke Scholten of Oostburg wound up fourth after starting eighth and Espen rounded out the top five.

Steve Lorier of Sheboygan, who started second, bolted into the lead on the opening lap of the 25-lap B Mod A main with fourth starter Barry Maas of Cascade taking second.

On the second go around, Tim Warner maneuvered up from the sixth starting spot to take third. One lap later, Maas moved in to challenge the high-riding Lorier for the lead along the low groove.

Over the next four laps, Lorier, Maas and Warner engaged in a heated duel for the top spot before the red flag appeared when the car of Hunter Larson of Oostburg flipped on its side during a three-car incident, which also involved Mark Hoeppner of Rubicon and Jonathan Hitsman of Newton.

On the restart, Warner used the low groove to take over second from Maas on lap 8. Warner challenged Lorier repeatedly for the top spot by working the high and low grooves during the next 11 laps before finally taking over the lead with a low move in turn two on lap 19 with Maas following in second.

Warner built up a huge lead over the final six laps en route to his division-leading 11th career PDTR B Mod A-main triumph and fourth PDTR B Mod main event victory of the 2023 campaign.

Polesitter Ron Brannam of Holiday Hills, Ill. moved into the lead in turn one of the opening lap of the 20-lap IRA Lightning Sprints main event with outside front row starter Max Brannam of Holiday Hills, Ill., who started second, taking second.

On lap 3, Mark Heinert, who started third, used a high move to assume second from Max Brannam. After moving in to challenge for the lead on lap 4, Heinert swept his way into the top spot exiting turn four on lap 5.

Once out front, Heinert switched his pace into overdrive, as he built up a solid cushion before the lone caution flag of the race appeared on lap 19 when the second place car of Ron Brannam got tangled up with Jordan Funderburk of Wadsworth, Ill. in turn two.

Following a single-file restart green-white-checkered flag restart, Heinert continued to lead, while the second place car of Max Brannam spun in turn four on the final lap.

Heinert, who won the IRA Lightning Sprints A-main at Plymouth on July 1, went on to notch his second IRA Lightning Sprints main event victory of The Plymouth Dirt Track 2023 campaign and sixth overall 2023 IRA Lightning Sprints A-main triumph.

Third starter Brian Strane Jr. of Paris took second, Derek Fortier of Franksville placed third after starting sixth, Jacob Irwin of Genoa City finished fourth after starting eighth and 13th starter John Kirk of Johnsburg, Ill. was fifth.

Justin Erickson of Plymouth turned in the fast qualifier award in the Akright PDTR-MSA 360 Sprint Car division with a top lap of 12.674 seconds.

Mark Heinert was the top qualifier in the 106.5 The Buzz IRA Lightning Sprints division with a lap of 13.440 seconds.

The 12th event of the 2023 PDTR campaign, which was sponsored by Racers Hall, drew a total of 68 cars, including 24 PDTR-MSA 360 Sprint Cars, 15 Grand Nationals, 14 B Mods and 15 IRA Lightning Sprints.

The next Plymouth Dirt Track Racing program on Saturday, Aug. 12 will feature the sixth and final event of the 2023 Super Six Late Model Series, along with the PDTR-MSA 360 Sprint Cars, Grand Nationals and B Mods.

BOWMAN, BEAGLE, RILEY, AND THORNE WIN ON MEMORIAL NIGHT AT OHSWEKEN
Story by Brent Otchere

OHSWEKEN, Ont. (August 4, 2023) – Insta-Panels presented Memorial Night At Ohsweken Speedway on Friday; Mike Bowman, Ryan Beagle, Alex Riley took the prestigious A-Main wins.

Strickland’s Crate Sprint Cars
The inaugural running of the Noelle Teal Memorial Twin 14’s featured Ken Hamilton and Sheldon Bender on the front row of the grid. The 28 lap Crate Sprint Car A-Main was split into two 14 lap segments. Mack DeMan had a blistering start, quickly gaining the lead on the first lap. Polesitter Hamilton had a rough go as he spun out on lap five and six, bringing out the caution on both occasions. The final caution of the race’s first segment came out due to Tyler Podwinski spinning out. DeMan was able to hold off the pack on the restart to lead every lap of the first segment.

The second segment began exactly where everyone finished in the first segment. DeMan led to the field to green, however Podwinski’s troubled race got worse as he was caught off guard due to a stack up and flipped into the front stretch wall. The fire and safety crew came to his aid immediately as the red flag was drawn, and Podwinski climbed out of the wreckage suffering no major injuries.

The race resumed once more with DeMan again putting a commanding lead over the field. With nine laps to go DeMan began to encounter traffic, and Mike Bowman used this as an advantage to catch up and overtake DeMan for the lead. Bowman had saved his gear for the end of the race and allowed no one to challenge him for the win, securing his second Crate Sprint win this season at Ohsweken Speedway. Next to cross the finish line were DeMan in second, Steve Murdock third, Brett Stratford forth, and Dale Curran fifth. DeMan leads over Jesse Costa by 4 points in the overall standings.

Middleport Mechanical Thunder Stocks
The 10th running of the Brock Leonard Memorial 50 began with Mike Klazinga starting on pole with Kyle Pelrine next to him for the 50 lap Thunder Stock A-Main. Pelrine quicky attained first position and the early race lead. Dave Bailey took only four laps to assert himself in the top three, while Logan Shwedyk became the new race leader on lap five.

Shwedyk’s lead was extinguished as Bailey took the top spot away from him, while Ryan Beagle worked himself into second place by lap ten. The two leaders began to encounter traffic by lap 13, allowing Beagle to assume the lead a few laps later. Meanwhile, Kyle Wert was running in the top five with 16 laps complete after starting in the 21st position. The first caution of the race emerged after 30 laps of green flag racing due to Steve Shaw Sr. spinning out and coming to a stop. Two more cautions followed on lap 36 and 38.

The remaining 12 laps were simply stunning as the top three drivers in the championship standings found themselves all fighting for the win as the laps ticked down. Bailey, Beagle, and Wert were in the thick of it, racing three-wide down the back stretch and swapping the lead position among each other. It was a truly amazing way to end such a special race as the fans were cheering their heroes on!

Beagle proved to be the victor, picking up his second Brock Leonard Memorial 50 victory. Bailey crossed the finish line next, yet again missing out on the crown jewel race victory. Rounding out the top five were Wert in third, Justin Ramsay fourth, and Christopher Hale fifth. Bailey retained the Middleport Mechanical Thunder Stock championship lead over Beagle, but the gap is now just seven points.

HRW Automotive Mini Stocks
The 21st running of the Art Hill Memorial 42 had Jeff Elsliger and Tim DeBoer bring the 26 car field to the green flag to start the 42 lap Mini Stock A-Main. Ashton Dickie grabbed the lead early, only to have Elsliger to retake it on lap two. Wayde Thorne got in on the action and became the leader on the next lap. The first caution came out due to Tristan DaSilva colliding with a spinning Elsliger. The next caution of the race came out on lap ten, this time for Tyler Lafantaisie coming to a stop.

Alex Riley used the restarts to move up in positions, eventually finding himself running second place. Riley chased down the leader and overtook for the lead on lap 23. Out of nowhere came a driver in a little VW storming past the leader; that driver being Austyn Werstroh, who looked unstoppable until a caution came out due to fluid on the track. A red flag came out two laps later as Steve Conway’s car erupted in flames. Conway was able to pull himself from his burning car unharmed as the fire crew worked to put out the fire.

Riley was able to snag the lead on the restart but once again a caution was deployed, this time because of debris on the racing surface. Dickie had the better restart and got the lead, however the final caution of the race came out when Mike Sarantakos went for a spin. This caution set up the very first overtime finish in the race's history, which saw Riley reclaim the lead and ultimately win the race. Werstroh finished in second, Dickie third, Fabio Olivieri fourth, and Matt Nuell rounded out the top five. Ryan Hillar leads over Sarantakos by 46 points in the overall HRW Automotive Mini Stock standings.

Noah’s Dash
The inaugural Noah’s Dash race capped off a poignant night at Ohsweken. The race was run in memory of Noah Thomas, an Ohsweken Speedway employee who lost his life to a road accident in 2015. The race was an Ohsweken Speedway first which featured Mini Stocks (six laps), Thunder Stocks (seven laps), and Crate Sprint Cars (eight laps) competing against each other on the track at the same time. The race proved to be an instant classic which saw Wayde Thorne's Mini Stock cross the finish line first. Brett Stratford tried his best, but couldn't quite make up the two lap deficit to Thorne in time. Stratford was best in the Crate Sprint Cars though, while Kyle Wert was the first Thunder Stock across the finish line.

Up Next at Ohsweken Speedway

Belleville 305 Nationals Saturday Report & Victory Lane

Lonnie Wheatley, BELLEVILLE, Kan. (August 5, 2023) – Wichita’s Jeremy Campbell made the most of his maiden Belleville 305 Sprint Car Nationals voyage by collecting the $7,000 winner’s share in Saturday night’s 30-lap finale of the Sixth Annual event atop the high-banked half-mile clay oval.

Campbell improved upon Friday night’s third-place finish aboard Ojar Peter’s Mid-America Millwright No. 51 to become the fifth different winner of the prestigious event.

The triumph came in unlikely fashion, as the victory fell Campbell’s way after race-long leader Kyle Jones fell 15 pounds short of the required minimum at the scales upon the completion of the 15-mile sprint.

“Fifteen pounds, the rule’s the rule, I’m gonna take the win for sure,” Campbell exclaimed in victory lane.

Campbell opened the night by establishing the overall quick time in qualifying and then redrew the pole for the feature event, only to surrender the point to fellow outside front row starter Jones as the engines roared to life.

“It was off the start, he pulled that outside line that was a better line off the start,” Campbell explained. “The middle of the track was real slick for me, he got out to the cushion real quick and just got a run.”

Fending off several bids for second from Friday night winner John Carney II, Campbell tried to muster a run on Jones for the point but to no avail until the scales tilted in his favor at the end of the night.

“It started taking rubber around midway. He was fast, I couldn’t catch him,” Campbell commented. “We were kind of reeling him in there at the end, but I don’t think I had enough to get him.”

After picking off preliminary night wins over each of the last two years, El Paso’s Carney settled for runner-up honors aboard the Coyote Candles No. 74b.

“We made a few changes and just weren’t quite as good as we need to be tonight,” Carney explained afterward.

With Campbell and Carney in the one-two positions, 2021 event champion Luke Cranston earned his third consecutive 305 Nationals podium finish after apparent fourth-runner Stu Snyder fell light at the scales along with Jones.

Texas shoe Landon Thompson claimed fourth with Nebraska’s Jack Dover charging from 17th to round out the top five. Jeremy Huish was sixth with Lee Goos, Jr., Joey Danley, Brandon Bosma and Jon Freeman completing the top ten.

Three caution flags interrupted feature proceedings including one after just two laps when 2022 Belleville 305 Nationals champ Ty Williams slowed with engine problems. Toby Chapman came to a stop as well soon after with an exploded powerplant bringing Koby Werkmeister to a stop after 16 laps.

After Campbell set the night’s quickest time of 16.686 seconds in qualifying, Huish, Goos, Jr., Carney and Thompson topped heat race action before Dover and Jordan Knight scored “B” Main wins.

The First “B” Main went red on the start when Trefer Walker, Tyler Knight and Jake Greenwood tangled on the frontstretch with each suffering race-ending damage following a botched start.

Disqualified: 9-Kyle Jones and 5-Stu Snyder (both failed to meet minimum weight requirements after taking the checkered flag in first and fourth, respectively.)

Lap Leaders: Kyle Jones 1-30.

Gentry, Moore, and Shaw end dry spells, while Mumaw recaptures top form. Dawson adds to stellar rookie campaign.

ORRVILLE – The “dog days of summer” tend to be the hottest of the season. With just a pair of events remaining prior to Season Championship night, it also means the wick burned a little brighter on the O’Reilly Auto Parts Wayne County Speedway’s Fast Five series event Saturday evening.

Danny Mumaw, the 2016 Pine Tree Towing and Recovery Sprint Car champion, continued his full circle resurgence by winning his second 25-lap main event of 2023 following a nearly five-year victory lane drought in highlighting action at “Orrville’s Historic Oval”.

While Mumaw was assuming command of the season-long points lead in the process, 2020 champion JR Gentry increased his current lead in the race for the Malcuit Tavern Super Late Model championship with his fifth overall victory of the season and first WCS checkered since June 17. Gentry’s near-flawless performance was made a little sweeter, too, by scoring the first of three Best Western Plus of Wooster Inn and Conference Center’s King of the County series and $2,000 top prize.

Flynn’s Tire & Service Center Modified ace Colton Shaw returned to his winning ways by scoring his ninth win of the season, and first at WCS since June 17 as well, with a 20-lap score that further cemented the General Lee 01’s top spot in the point standings. Defending track champion Kyle Moore had endured an even longer winless spell (June 3) in the McKenzie Concrete Super Stock division but served notice that the combination of the “Mansfield Madman” and Bob Daugherty's 21D will be among the favorites in next week’s Danny Gardner Memorial race with a dominating effort in the 15-lap victory.

Although Billy Dawson hasn’t been a weekly visitor to WCS this season, his victory on Saturday in the JoyRide Transport Mini Stock main was his second of the season at the 3-8-mile and region’s-leading ninth overall of 2023. Dawson’s half-car length victory over 2015, 2020, and 2022 track champion Doug Hensel further increased Hensel’s drive for a fourth title heading into the stretch drive.

Although Mumaw has returned to top form, Trey Jacobs’ snake-bitten streak of misfortune continued Saturday. Jacobs, arguably among the fastest at the speedway in recent seasons, shot to the point and was long gone in the main event in lapping well into the top 10 before tangling with Western PA. hotshoe Leyton Wagner, who had jumped the cushion in turn 2 on lap 13. Jacobs suffered a flat right rear in attempting to avoid contact and was forced to the tail of the lead lap cars on the restart.

Last week’s winner Henry Malcuit inherited the lead, and was fending off the charging Mumaw until Tyler Gunn, the point leader heading into the event, flipped his Eikelberry-Sipes 91 out of the park at the entrance of turn 4. The “Machine Gunn” escaped injury in the lap 19 wild ride.

During the red, though, Malcuit developed a flat right rear and went to the work area, handing the lead to Mumaw’s familiar green and black 16 which he didn’t relinquish. Mumaw finished ahead of Tyler Street, who sits just a few points back in the standings, Jacobs, Chris Myers, and his brother Jamie Myers.

“This one feels pretty good,” said Mumaw. “Trey and Henry were really fast, but we’re getting more comfortable. We made some small adjustments this week, just some small changes like seat position and pedal placements and it’s made a big difference. I’m just really appreciative of all the fan support and being able to be standing here in victory lane.”

Gentry’s victory was equally as popular, but didn’t come any easier, either. Kyle Moore, a two-time winner this season and race leader in four other main events, led early but existed the speedway with a broken driveshaft during the opening two laps. “Mr. Consistency” Larry Bellman took command next in his 59, with high-flying Cortland part-time visitor Eric Wilson not far behind. Wilson, however, looped his Autism Awareness-themed 27 in turn 4 that collected tough-luck Thomas Baker in the process.

Gentry took command and then held off an always-charging Ryan Markham by perfectly hitting his marks on the tricky, but nearly flawless racing surface to register the victory. Markham rode home second ahead of 17th-starting Ryan Missler, Bellman, and Hilltop Speedway owner Tyler Evans.

“It’s been awhile since we’ve been in victory lane, but it’s getting tougher and tougher every week with the caliber of cars we have,” said Gentry. “Eric is fast and is going to get one here sooner or later, Kyle has been unreal and showed the traveling guys just how difficult it is here weekly with his big win a few weeks ago, Ryan is as good as ever and l could go on and on. We kind of lost our notebook on how we were doing things but went back to basics this week and we were really good.”

Shaw fell into the runner-up slot early in the 20-lap Modified main from his eighth starting spot, then disposed of early leader and now weekly contender Jimmy Humphrey on lap 6. Shaw led the remaining 14 circuits, but survived a a series of yellows and a low-riding Humphrey to secure the win.

Humphrey rode home a solid second, with Took Wiles third, Markham fourth in the yellow 15, and seventh-starting Ryan Robey fifth.

“Starting eighth isn’t easy, but you have to get as many spots as you can early, and we were able to do that,” said Shaw. “I know the bottom is getting faster, especially in turn four, but l still like the high side on the cushion. To win here, especially with Jimmy running really well, and when guys like (Nate Young, Brad Goff, and when Ryan is racing), it’s tough. We’ll just keep doing what we’re doing and hopefully get a few more wins.”

Moore and his 21D were initially set to invade Eldora Speedway on Saturday but made the decision to head east instead and it paid off with his second win in as many nights.

Moore jumped from the pole and led every lap of the 15-lapper in recording his sixth 2023 victory. Codee Schneider, fresh off his second victory of the season last week, kept within striking distance of Moore but settled for the bridesmaid spot ahead of Paul Holmes, Braden Tucke and Rob Melzer. Tucke and Melzer are separated atop the season-long standings by just a handful of markers, with Moore in third.

“Bob has this thing going pretty good right now, and we’ll be ready for next Saturday,” said Moore. “I love running Bob’s car and this takes a little sting off the bad luck during the late model feature. Maybe we can get in victory lane twice next week.”

The Mini Stocks hit the speedway last, but as always gave the crowd another exciting 12-lapper. Eighth-starting Hensel patiently made his way to the front by lap five, then set sail for the second-starting Dawson.

Dawson rode the extreme high line out front, with pole sitter Johnny Bruce Sr., Dustin Bedlion, and sixth-starting Anthony Collins in tow. Hensel narrowed the gap to a car length during laps 9-11 before taking his last shot exiting turn 4 on the final lap. Hensel’s charge came up just shy at the stripe with Bruce, Collins, and Bedlion rounding out the top five.

“I really didn’t look at the scoreboard or see anyone back there, but if l’m leading it really doesn’t matter who’s chasing me,” said Dawson. “Being a rookie in this class, l didn’t really think l’d have the season I'm having but we’ll keep digging and maybe get a few more wins.”

The speedway returns next Saturday with an action-packed night of Fast Five racing that will include a $3,000-to-win sprint car event in addition to the Danny Gardner Memorial for super stocks. It’s also the second of three King of the County races for super stocks presented by Platinum Designs. Brandon Morrow captured the first K of C leg back on May 27. Wooster Quota will present the ever-popular Kids Night prior to racing action that kicks off with hot laps at 6 and racing to follow.

Cox, Gugliomoni, Baldwin and Grenert pick up exciting wins at Placerville Speedway

By Gary Thomas

Placerville, CA…Race fans were treated to a tremendous night of competition at Placerville Speedway on Saturday during the annual Carnett Clash presented by Country Lube Automotive. In the end it was Clarksburg’s Justyn Cox standing in victory lane after claiming an entertaining Thompson’s Winged Sprint Car feature.

Joining Cox as Carnett Clash victors on Saturday evening were Paul Gugliomoni with the Anrak Late Models, Nick Baldwin with the Red Hawk Casino Pure Stocks and Mike Grenert with the Nor-Cal Dwarf Car Association.

The 25-lap Thompson’s Family of Dealerships Winged 360 Sprint Car feature started off with Placerville’s Shane Hopkins setting the pace up front. Justyn Cox assumed the runner up spot on the opening lap and hounded the rear tail tank of Hopkins’ machine, as last week’s winner Landon Brooks also joined the party.

Cox would then charge into the top-spot with 10 circuits complete, prior to a caution waving shortly after, which let everyone catch their breath. During the slowdown Brooks also had a right rear tire go flat that forced him into the work area. On the ensuing restart nine-time track champ Andy Forsberg blasted into second and came hard after the leader.

The duo of Cox and Forsberg proceeded to put on the best show we’ve seen all season long at Placerville Speedway, with both drivers battling back and forth for the top spot. With six laps remaining however, Forsberg got crossed up on the cushion off turn four it appeared, which sent him around for a spin. Tony Gomes had raced from 12th to third, but was also caught up in the incident, along with Shane Hopkins, who was running in sixth.

On the restart Cox held strong with 10th starting Dylan Bloomfield trying to keep him within sight. Coming to the white flag Bloomfield looked to close the gap, but the yellow lights flashed on for a stalled car in turns one and two.

The green, white, checkered restart saw Cox hit his marks to bring home the victory aboard the Bates-Hamilton Racing No. 42x entry. Bloomfield put together a stellar run for the second straight week and came home in second at the helm of the Vertullo Racing No. 83v.

Clovis youngster Dominic Gorden earned his first Placerville Speedway podium in third, with point leader Michael Faccinto in fourth and Wilton’s Ashlyn Rodriguez rounding out the top-five. The remainder of the top-10 was comprised of 17th starting Ashton Torgerson, 20th starter Gauge Garcia, Michael Pombo, Bubba Decaires and 18th starter Stephen Ingraham.

A total of 27 Thompson’s Winged Sprint Cars were on hand Saturday night. Faccinto began the evening by earning the ADCO Driveline Fast Time Award with a lap of 11.085.

Winged Sprint Car results: 1. 42X-Justyn Cox[3]; 2. 83V-Dylan Bloomfield[10]; 3. 10-Dominic Gorden[9]; 4. X1-Michael Faccinto[7]; 5. 87-Ashlyn Rodriguez[4]; 6. 88-Ashton Torgerson[17]; 7. 21X-Gauge Garcia[20]; 8. 37-Michael Pombo[8]; 9. 94-Greg Decaires V[5]; 10. 93-Stephen Ingraham[18]; 11. 45-Jake Morgan[19]; 12. 9L-Luke Hayes[16]; 13. 98-Chris Masters[14]; 14. 12J-John Clark[13]; 15. 3C-Casey Schmitz[11]; 16. 94X-Landon Brooks[2]; 17. 92-Andy Forsberg[6]; 18. 7C-Tony Gomes[12]; 19. 21-Shane Hopkins[1]; 20. 5H-Josh Wiesz[15]

The 20-lap Carnett Clash feature for the Anrak Ltd. Late Models saw Vacaville, CA driver Paul Gugliomoni race to the $1,000 Bonus by way of victory.

The ground pounders made their first Placerville Speedway appearance since July 4th and put on some solid action in the main event. Lincoln’s Dan Brown Jr. fought his way forward to challenge the leader over the waning stages, but Gugliomoni was too strong up front and crossed under the Ron Stahl checkered flag.

Brown, Dan Jinkerson, Clark Gugliomoni and Ray Trimble completed the top-five. C. Gugliomoni also gave the leader everything he could handle at times in the race.

Late Model results: 1. 22G-Paul Gugliomoni[1]; 2. 15-Dan Brown Jr[7]; 3. 23-Dan Jinkerson[8]; 4. 28G-Clark Gougliomani[5]; 5. 37-Ray Trimble[6]; 6. 23J-Tyler Lightfoot[9]; 7. 115-Chris Mcginnis[12]; 8. 23A-Mike Lightfoot[10]; 9. 777-Michael Anderson[11]; 10. 57-Rod Oliver[3]; 11. 71-Wayne Trimble[2]; 12. 96M-Matt Micheli[4]

The Red Hawk Casino Pure Stocks also threw it down in Old Hangtown on Saturday night with an epic 20-lap showcase. Race fans were on the edge of their seats from start to finish. Kenny Bernstein led the first few laps, before Tom Arbogast was able to slice his way by for the point on lap four.

While Arbogast led the way he had a hungry pack of Kevin Jinkerson, Nick Baldwin and Dan Jinkerson duking it out for the runner up spot.

Lapped traffic created some hectic action on the tight bullring, as drivers raced tooth and nail to the finish. Arbogast had been smoking heavily and slowed just prior to the conclusion, which saw Baldwin shoot to the lead. Baldwin ended up taking the checkered flag in wild fashion over Dan Jinkerson, Arbogast, Kevin Jinkerson and Michael Murphy.

Pure Stocks results: 1. 17-Nick Baldwin[6]; 2. 23-Dan Jinkerson[7]; 3. 86-Thomas Arbogast[4]; 4. 30-Kevin Jinkerson[3]; 5. 47-Michael Murphy[1]; 6. 29-Tyler Lightfoot[11]; 7. 14-Rick Grennert[5]; 8. 43-Kenny Bernstein[2]; 9. 1-Chris D'angelo[10]; 10. 93-Mel Byers[8]; 11. 55-Micky Dangelo[9]

The Nor-Cal Dwarf Car Association once again brought out an impressive 27-car field and put together fantastic racing during the night. Fairfield’s Mike “Spanky” Grenert had his way with things out front and drove a phenomenal race to keep the rest of the field at bay.

Lots of moving and shaking was seen behind him however, as drivers raced high and low on the Placerville Speedway bullring. As Grenert took the checkered flag he was followed across the line by Shawn Whitney, Mike Reeder, Ben Wiesz and Cody Shrum in the top-five.

Rounding out the top-10 in the 20-lap contest were Dylan Shrum, Kevin “Hollywood” Bender, Gage Meyers, Dan Geil and Kinser Endicott.

Dwarf Car results: 1. 12N-Mike Grenert[3]; 2. 15N-Shawn Whitney[4]; 3. 72N-Mike Reeder[9]; 4. 57N-Ben Wiesz[6]; 5. 69N-Cody Shrum[11]; 6. 31N-Dylan Shrum[7]; 7. 9N-Kevin Bender[2]; 8. 99N-Gage Meyers[8]; 9. 32N-Dan Geil[5]; 10. 381-Kinser Endicott[1]; 11. 50N-Brenden Shrum[16]; 12. 29N-Corey Eaton[10]; 13. 8N-Aron Mosier[15]; 14. 42N-Isaak Geil[12]; 15. 41N-Brandon Aylesworth[13]; 16. 616N-Tyler Quilty[19]; 17. 30N-Gene Herndon[20]; 18. 59N-Austin Struthers[14]; 19. 36N-Jameson Sole[17]; 20. (DNS) 22N-Joe Halter

Placerville Speedway returns to action this coming Saturday August 12th with Coors Light Big Trophy Night.

Mitchell Faccinto perseveres for Ocean Sprints triumph on Friday night

By Gary Thomas

Watsonville, CA…After being involved during an early wreck Hanford’s Mitchell Faccinto battled back to capture a lengthy main event on Friday night with the Ocean Sprints presented by Taco Bravo.

Faccinto piloted the familiar Keith Day Trucking/ Gabilan Ag Service No. 22 to his second Watsonville victory of the season. Also snagging wins on Hall of Fame Night were Bobby Hogge IV with the IMCA Modifieds, Trevor Clymens with the IMCA Sport Mods and point leader Joe Gallaher with the Hobby Stocks.

Inducted into the Ocean Speedway Hall of Fame on Friday were three-time Ocean Sprints champion Brad Furr, multi-time Watsonville track titlist Bobby Scott and Videographer Fred Adams.

The 30-lap Ocean Sprints presented by Taco Bravo finale began with last week’s winner Joey Ancona jumping into the lead ahead of Campbell’s Bud Kaeding. Numerous caution periods proceeded to follow, which never allowed the race to get into a constant flow.

Over much of the race Ancona had his way with things out front and hit every restart with perfection, keeping the rest of the field at bay. Following a fuel stop on lap 10 caution flags continued to plague the contest but shuffled up the rundown immensely.

Track conditions also changed throughout the feature and played into the finish as it wore on. Faccinto had gotten involved in a lap two yellow but fought through attrition and began to make some fantastic moves, as he climbed back to fourth by the halfway mark. He then found the sweet spot where rubber had developed and sliced his way into third on lap 22, before taking second the following circuit.

With Ancona up front continuing to run the high line, that’s all Faccinto needed to make the winning move with four laps remaining. The 2020 Ocean Sprints champ hit the rubber off turn four and grabbed the top spot that he would never relinquish.

Ancona tried to fight back but hit the curb a little too hard off the fourth corner and suffered front end damage, putting an unfortunate end to his strong night on lap 27.

Faccinto brought home the win over Kaleb Montgomery, Dominic Gorden, point leader Rickey Sanders and 16th starting Ashton Torgerson in the top-five. Rounding out the top-10 were Jeremy Chisum, Gauge Garcia, Kurt Nelson, Ryan Rocha and Chris Nelson. Montgomery began the night by setting fast time with a blistering 11.272 around bullring.

The 25-lap IMCA Modified feature showcased some solid competition on Friday night. Prunedale racer Fred Lind led the opening lap, before Salinas’ Austin Burke was able to make the pass on lap two. Burke held the point until Robert Marsh carved his way past to take over the top-spot.

The fellow Salinas driver looked strong up front as his fellow racers duked it out behind him. Cars ran all over the Ocean Speedway clay as race fans certainly got their monies’ worth. Multi-time track champion Bobby Hogge, also of Salinas, methodically closed in on Marsh and made his move with six laps remaining.

Once out front though he soon had to deal with a fast-moving Jim Pettit II, who appeared to have a faster car towards the end. Pettit gave Hogge everything he could handle, but caught the wall off turn two during the final circuit. That was all she wrote as Hogge took home the win over Andy Obertello, Lind, Auston Burke and Marsh. Pettit slowed across the line in seventh.

IMCA Modified results: 1. 2-Bobby Hogge[6]; 2. 29-Andy Obertello[8]; 3. 77-Fred Lind[1]; 4. 25-Austin Burke[3]; 5. 22-Robert Marsh[4]; 6. 20-Cody Burke[5]; 7. 6-Jim Pettit II[9]; 8. 72-Mike Szlauko[11]; 9. 28G-Andrew Pearce[7]; 10. ONE2-Anthony Slaney[10]; 11. 01-Raymond Keldsen Jr[2]

The IMCA Sport Mod feature saw Merced’s Gavin Epsino lead the initial four laps from the pole. Prunedale’s Jonathan Hagio then blasted around him to take over the point and hold command until lap nine when he encountered issues.

Brentwood’s Trevor Clymens then led the final half of the contest to scoop up the win over Espino, Darren Thomas, point leader Chuck Golden and Emali VanHoff.

IMCA Sport Mod results: 1. 2C-Trevor Clymens[5]; 2. 33G-Gavin Espino[2]; 3. 14T-Darren Thomas[9]; 4. 3G-Chuck Golden[8]; 5. 4M-Emali VanHoff[1]; 6. 22W-Charlie Hunter[14]; 7. 7SR-Mike Ficklin Jr[11]; 8. 52-Jason Ryan Jr[6]; 9. 46N-Jonathan Hagio[4]; 10. 7JR-Mike Ficklin[10]; 11. 19C-Tommy Clymens[3]; 12. 33-Mike Gil[12]; 13. (DNS) 95-Justin Parr; 14. (DQ) 39-Steven Allee[7]

Ocean Speedway point leader Joe Gallaher dominated the 15-lap finale for the Hobby Stocks over Dan Fassler and Norm Ayers. It marked the fifth win of the season for Gallaher.

Thomas finally conquers Fremont; Weaver atop all-time win list with 305 win; McCaughey shakes truck demons

Sunday, Aug. 6, 2023

By Brian Liskai

FREMONT, Ohio – Cale Thomas lost his sprint car ride recently. He drove the family car a few races then teamed up with Jay Kiser Racing of Fremont, Ohio two weeks ago and immediately the team contended for wins. A crash battling for the lead at Attica Raceway Park the first night, and a third place run at Fremont Speedway the following night earned the Fairland, Indiana driver another weekend with the team. It paid off Saturday, Aug. 5 with his first ever 410 sprint win at Fremont Speedway on Plaza Lanes/Cameo Pizza/All Pro Aluminum Cylinder Heads Night.

Thomas had to battle heavy lapped traffic and a determined Cap Henry and last week’s winner Travis Philo for the win the final two laps. The podium finishes for Henry and Philo keeps the battle for the All Pro Aluminum Cylinder Heads/Kistler Racing Products Attica Fremont Championship Series presented by the Baumann Auto Group very close.

Only one caution fell in the 30-lap Fort Ball Pizza Palace 410 Sprint feature. Behind Thomas was Henry, Philo, Friday’s winner Stuart Brubaker and Nate Dussel.

“This place has been my….I’m good here I just can’t seem to get it done. Jay gave me a great race car. Honestly we had the same car we did last week when I ran well last night and we weren’t any good. So Jay wanted to try something even after that seventh to second run in the heat and obviously it worked. We’ve been fast. A good benchmark for that is Cap (Henry). We’ve been competitive with Cap every time,” said Thomas beside his Spanky’s Pizza, NAPA Auto Parts, Shelluke’s Bar, Automatic Fire Protection, JLH General Contractor, Queen of Clean, Fremont Fence, BH41, TMH Holdings, Burdue Insurance backed #23.

Fremont native Paul Weaver swept the weekend in the Fremont Federal Credit Union 305 Sprints. The four time and defending division track champion took the lead from Jamie Miller on lap nine of the non-stop 25 lap affair and drove to his fifth win of the year at Fremont. The victory puts Weaver in a tie with Art Ball atop the track’s all-time win list with 76 checkers.

“My first time over here was 1975 and I was mad because…I think Ron Leaser won the race but I went home happy because Art Ball won the points and ever since then he was my favorite. I’ve never spoke to him one time. Stood on the Attica banquet stage one year…he won the trucks and I won the 305s but never spoke to him. I always kept that to myself that he was one of my childhood heroes,” said Weaver beside his Steve Brown’s B&B Drain Services, Hampshire Racing Engines, M&L Excavating backed machine.

The victory pads Weaver’s lead for a fifth straight NAPA of Bryan Attica Fremont Championship Series presented by Jason Dietsch Trailer Sales title as John Ivy, Shawn Valenti, Jamie Miller and Dustin Stroup rounded out the top five in the A-main.

Toledo, Ohio’s Cory McCaughey has contended for wins in the Burmeister Trophy Dirt Trucks all season, recording three runner-up finishes and not finishing out of the top five until Friday when a mechanical failure sidelined him in the feature. He put all that behind him Saturday, leading all 20 laps for his first win of the year and eighth of his career at Fremont. Friday’s winner Dave Gumby pressured McCaughey the last five laps after he was in a spirited battle with Dustin Keegan as that duo raced side by side for eight laps. But, McCaughey was able to hold on for the win over Gumby, Keegan, Dana Fry and Jamie Miller.

“I heard Dave Gumby down there and I had to pull that rubber band up…get it, let’s go! I have to thank Wagner Improvements, the Big E Crew, Dippman Motorsports, Blast Masters. My guys worked their tails off this weekend,” said McCaughey.

Fremont Speedway will be back in action Monday, August 21 with the 305 sprints helping to kick off the Sandusky County Fair.

Jade Avedisian Amazes in Ironman 55 Victory with POWRi League/Xtreme Midget Win
Belleville, IL. (8/5/23) Jade Avedisian would use an outstanding restart mid-race to earn the feature win at Federated Auto Parts I-55 Raceway in Pevely Missouri on Friday Night with the POWRi National Midget League, running in conjunction with the Xtreme Outlaw Midget Series presented by Toyota, in the Ironman 55 finale to capture their fourth career league victory after leading fourteen laps in a thrilling thirty lap feature.

Initial on-track opposition in the POWRi National Midget League, running in conjunction with the Xtreme Outlaw Midget Series, would see Chase McDermand start the action off with a quick group qualifying time of 13.417-second lap as Chase Johnson and Jade Avedisian each would earn heat racing wins.

Arranging the feature field would find high-point qualifier Jade Avedisian roll an invert of six to set the front row of Zach Daum and Karter Sarff. Competing for the prized position as the green flag flew would see night one winner Karter Sarff shooting to the initial advantage on the opening laps over Zach Daum, Taylor Reimer, Chase Johnson, and Jade Avedisian all racing inside the top five.

Cruising comfortably out front with over a second advantage for the first half of the race, Karter Sarff would appear to be in a different gear as Taylor Reimer would race into the runner-up spot with Jade Avedisian clinging close to the speedy top two as lap traffic came into play.

Bunching the field back together with a mid-race caution on lap sixteen, Jade Avedisian would use a precise restart to overtake for the lead off turn two with Sarff staying within striking distance as Taylor Reimer, Zach Daum, Chase Johnson, Gavin Miller, Cannon McIntosh, Chase McDermand, Chance Crum, and Hayden Reinbold remained inside the running top ten.

Protecting the lead for the final fourteen laps, Jade Avedisian would not be denied emerging victorious in the feature event to earn her second feature win of 2023 with the POWRi National Midget League as one-time leader Karter Sarff would finish a close runner-up.

“I just can’t say enough about this team, every time I hit the track I feel like I have a winning car, this win is a testament to this team,” said an elated Jade Avedisian in the Federated Auto Parts Raceway at I-55 victory lane celebrations.

Remaining resilient for the full feature would see Taylor Reimer finalize the podium placements with Gavin Miller finishing fourth as Chase McDermand rounded out the POWRi National Midget League top-five finishers at I-55 Raceway running in conjunction with the Xtreme Outlaw Midget Series in the 2023 Ironman 55.

Just before the Lacaillade Masonry B-Main could hit the track, the skies opened and soaked the grounds to the point where the rest of the night’s events had to be postponed. The remaining events (B-Main and A-Main) are now scheduled for completion on Friday September 8. Only cars that were in attendance on Friday August 4 will be eligible to compete on September 8. Drivers and teams should save their wristbands for entry on September 8.

Brubaker earns 1st 410 win of the year at Fremont; Weaver takes 4th 305 victory; Gumby drives to 3rd truck win

Saturday, Aug. 5, 2023

By Brian Liskai

FREMONT, Ohio – Stuart Brubaker has been close to victory several times in 2023, including a pair of runner-up finishes at Fremont Speedway. The Fremont, Ohio driver was able to make adjustments late in the 410 feature Friday night and drove to his first win of the year on Fort Ball Pizza Palace Night.

Brubaker had built a nearly three second lead when a caution for debris came out at the half-way point of the 30-lap A-main. On the ensuing restart Byron Reed and Zeth Sabo applied strong pressure for the top spot until a caution flew with 12 laps to go. Brubaker went back to the line he had been running and drove away for his eighth career victory at “The Track That Action Built.”

Brubaker’s win tightens the points in the All Pro Aluminum Cylinder Heads/Kistler Racing Products Attica Fremont Championship Series presented by the Baumann Auto Group as Cap Henry, who was the point leader coming into the night, suffered a problem on the opening lap. Behind Brubaker at the finish was Zeth Sabo, Travis Philo, Byron Reed and Chris Andrews capping off the top five.

“Thank God for that last caution. I saw Byron on the outside of me. I think I was just killing too much momentum there trying to huggy pole the bottom. Bill (crew chief) was telling me to go to the bottom but I was getting good runs down the back stretch in the middle. So I changed up some stuff because he told me to and here came the five car and I was like oh shit. Thank God that yellow came out and I went back where I was supposed to be. This thing just sat down in the center and just took off,” said Brubaker beside his SRM Construction, Edward Jones, G&L Oil, ASD Remodeling, Josh Kromers Seamless Gutters, KS Sales & Service, Nye Farms, Pit Stop Carryout, Story Equipment, Midwest Compost backed #35.

“We’ve been fast all year. We got crashed during speed week…we just been struggling a bit since then. Actually we’ve had this car tore apart two or three times trying to figure things out. We’re getting back toward the right track where we were at the beginning of the year,” he added.

In the Fremont Federal Credit Union 305 A-main, Jamie Miller jumped to the early lead with sixth starter Paul Weaver moving into second on lap five. Weaver quickly ate into Miller’s nearly three second lead, taking the top spot on lap 12.

A couple of cautions late in the race kept the field close but each time Weaver drove away. The four time and defending division track champion went unchallenged to his fourth victory of the season and the 75th of his career at Fremont. He is just one win away from tying Art Ball atop the track’s all-time win list.

The win also pads Weaver’s lead as he looks to claim his fourth straight title in the NAPA Auto Parts of Bryan Attica Fremont Championship Series presented by Jason Dietsch Trailer Sales, though Jamie Miller’s second place finish keeps him in contention. Tyler Shullick, Dustin Stroup and Mike Burkin completed the top five finishing order.

“Shawn Valenti and Jamie Miller are pretty young yet so they might catch me in wins. I tried to go back and do the math but I think I hit over 200 career wins sometime earlier this year among all the tracks. I have to thank Bob Hampshire, Pam and Steve Brown, Daniel. I want to thank Roger Campbell. This was a good, raceable track. I could move all over the place. What else could you ask for…top or bottom…it was a good track,” said Weaver beside his B&B Drain Service, M&L Excavating, Hampshire Engines backed #1W.

The Burmeister Trophy Dirt Truck feature got off to a rocky start with several cautions. Once it got rolling so did Ottawa Lake, Michigan’s Dave Gumby Jr. He went unchallenged to his third win of the year at Fremont. His fifth career win at the track should vault him into the division point lead as Dana Fry, Cody Laird, Jamie Miller and Keith Sorg rounded out the top five.

“I have to thank Ron Miller for doing all the work the past few weeks on the right front. I want to thank my truck owner David, Tim Sr., Tim Jr., my wife and kid,” said Gumby.

Fremont Speedway will be back in action Saturday, Aug. 5 with the AFCS 410 and 305 sprints and dirt trucks in action.

After racing from fourth to win his heat race and then redrawing the pole position for the Sixth Annual Belleville 305 Nationals feature event, the El Paso native gunned into the lead at the outset and never looked back in the URSS-sanctioned feature en route to the $3,000 payday aboard the Coyote Candle No. 74b Sprint Car.

Carney weathered just one caution before the race’s midway point before streaking on to the checkred flag with a 0.757-second advantage over Stu Snyder as Jeremy Campbell filled out the podium in third.

“The track was sticky, it was good all night,” said of the ½-mile Belleville High Banks clay oval that absorbed over an inch of rain the previous night. “It was a hammer down all night, it was a testament to horsepower for sure.

“We’ll just hope the track dries out some tomorrow,” Carney continued. “It’ll be a different game tomorrow night.”

While Carney paced the field the entire 20 rounds, third-starter Snyder battled past Campbell for second in the early going and tried to keep pace with Carney all the way before settling for runner-up honors aboard the Myers-powered No. 5 JR1.

“We had a good start and was kinda catching him every couple of laps, I didn’t need that yellow,” Snyder explained of the race’s only caution after nine laps when Jacob Dye cut a tire and came to a stop.

“I stumbled pretty bad on the restart and fell back quite a bit and then started to get back to him,” Snyder commented. “I think we might have something for that red car tomorrow night.”

After starting outside the front row, Campbell settled for the show position on the podium aboard the Myers-powered No. 51 Schnee.

“I knew I had to get off the start but it stumbled a little bit, and that 74 really takes off well,” Campbell explained. “Stu and I diced a little bit, I was trying to change up my lines a little bit to find some cleaner air besides his disturbed air and I thought I had a shot at him a time or two.”

Behind the lead trio, 2021 Belleville 305 Nationals champion Luke Cranston fought off Tyler Drueke much of the race with the latter rounding out the top five.

Brandon Bosma climbed four positions to capture sixth with Joey Danley, Jon Freeman, Jeremy Huish and Kyle Jones completing the top ten.

Cranston bested the 45-car field in qualifying by establishing a New Track record of 16.361 seconds before Conner Thomas, Jones, Drueke and Carney II topped heat race action. Landon Thompson and Blake Scott both claimed “B” Main wins.

The Sixth Annual Belleville 305 Sprint Car Nationals wraps up with Saturday night’s $7,000-to-win and $1,000-to-start championship finale.

Familiar fast five turn up the heat on Santmyer Energy Night at Wayne County Speedway

ORRVILLE – Long shots and streaks of different winners have been nothing new at the O’Reilly Auto Parts Wayne County Speedway in 2023.

For the first time in 13 events, however, each of the speedway's victorious Fast Five Series drivers returned to an all-familiar place on Saturday night; Summit Racing Victory Lane.

Despite heavy overnight rains and a brief afternoon shower, the 3-8-mile ultra-fast surface was in near-perfect shape as “Orrvile’s Historic Oval” hosted Santmyer Energy Night under equally impressive skies.

Defending track champions Henry Malcuit (Pine Tree Towing and Recovery Sprint Cars), Ryan Markham (Malcuit Tavern Super Late Models), and Doug Hensel (JoyRide Transport Mini Stocks) each returned to their winning ways, while CoDee Schneider notched his second McKenzie Concrete Super Stock victory with Painesville semi-regular Nate Young solidifying himself as one of the region's premier Modified talents with his ninth overall triumph of the season with a hard-fought win in the Flynn’s Tire & Service Center-backed division. In all, the fast five notched their 22nd through 26th overall victories of 2023.

Hensel’s victory came with added significance as well, as his fifth win of the season came in the second of the three-race King of the County Series program events. Hensel and Chaz Dawson, a second-place finisher on Saturday, enter the last King of the County series races, for all divisions on Sept. 30, in a virtual deadlock for the top spot. The speedway will host the first of three Late Model K of C specials next Saturday Aug. 5 presented by the Best Western Wooster Plus Hotel and Conference Center.

Malcuit, who last visited victory lane on opening night back on April 15, returned to top form in besting the talent-laden 22-car sprint car field. Malcuit took command from early leader Danny Mumaw from his outside row two starting slot on lap 11 and sped to victory in the 25-lap lid lifter.

Mumaw put heavy pressure throughout, however, on Malcuit’s family-owned 70 but came up just short at the stripe followed by a fast-closing Trey Jacobs (from eighth), Broc Martin, making his long-awaited first start at WCS in nearly 450 days (about 1 year 3 months) and just sixth of the season in fourth, with Enon Valley PA’s high school senior-to-be Leyton Wagner turning in another solid showing by riding home fifth. Jason Dolick came in sixth, with Tyler Gunn, Indiana invader Corbin Gurley, Tyler Street, and Sean Rayhall rounding out the top ten.

Malcuit, who recently spent a few weeks in Pete Grove’s 70, returned to his Red Malcuit backed machine for his fifth win in the last two seasons at WCS.

“it’s been a tough stretch, but my dad (Mark), and uncle (Brad), had our car really comfortable tonight,” Malcuit said. “I don’t always like to bang the cushion in turns one and two, but that’s where you need to be to run with and beat the fast guys we have here, because Danny set a fast pace out front. It feels really good to be able to do this with our family team, and plan on staying in it the rest of the season.”

With Jerry Aber, Larry Bellman, Kyle Moore, who was victorious in the previous two SLM mains including the recent DIRTcar Nationals, Markham, a rejuvenated Dave Hornikel, and four-time 2023 winner JR Gentry occupying the first three rows of the 25-lap main, the highly anticipated event took the track next.

Bellman jumped to the early lead, with Markham grabbing the point after a three-wide battle that included a hard-charging Moore moving into second. Moore led until lap 17 with Markham never more than two car lengths behind before “The Mansfield Madman” shredded a tire down the front straight ending his bid for a third victory in a row.

Markham inherited the lead and sped to victory, his fourth of the year to go along with 14 top-five and 20 top-ten finishes of the season despite a slow start to the 2023 campaign.

“Tonight, just like we’ve done all season, we never gave up,” said Markham. “Kyle has that thing rolling right now and he’s a heckuva talented driver, but we stayed close to him and got alongside him right before he blew the tire. It would have been a great finish, and l hated to see that, but we’ll take a win any way we can in this division.”

The 12-lap Mini Stock King of the County 12-lapper hit the speedway next, with Hensel, after starting eighth, and Chaz Dawson from ninth, each making their way to the front. Action was halted early on, however, as fourth-starting Mitch Reichard launched his 29 machine over the turn 2 embankment to bring out the red. Earlier in the evening, David Potter barrel rolled his No. 100 down the pit entrance drive during the second heat. Fortunately, both drivers escaped injury.

When action resumed, Hensel took command and glued his familiar 18 to the speedway’s high-side cushion with Dawson never more than a car length back. Hensel hung on for his fifth win of the season less than a second in front of Dawson’s 42JR mount with Johnny Bruce Sr, Zack Hershey, and Cody Musselman founding out the top five.

“Track position was key tonight, like it is every night, because all these guys are so fast,” said Hensel. “I knew Chaz was back there as l looked at the scoreboard, and could hear him, too. Billy Dawson was just as fast too before he went to the pits (flat tire), but the only way someone was going to go around me was to go through the parking lot.”

The Super Stocks were up next for their 15-lapper, and Kyle McAfee from his outside front row looked primed to record his first win of the season by setting a blistering pace from the outset.

Larry Kugel and Don Baney joined the fray early with June 24 winner CoDee Schneider also making his way to the front in his ex-Rott Shop 14. Schneider crept into second by lap 12 and inherited the lead when McAfee’s red and black No. 3 looped it around out of four collecting Kugel in the process. Both drivers were unharmed in the scary-looking accident but were done for the night.

Schneider led the remaining three circuits ahead of Baney, Braden Tucke, last week’s winner Rob Melzer and Brandon Craver. “To get a win here, and then a second, is just awesome,” said Schneider. “I’m just ecstatic how this season is going and hopefully we can keep it going. “i was putting some pressure on Kyle before that incident, but l hate seeing that happen to anyone and hope they’re both okay and cars weren't damaged heavily. I’m just thrilled to be here in victory lane.”

The Modifieds hit the speedway for the night capper, and with Young and eight-time 2023 winner and defending track champ Colton Shaw starting second and fourth respectively, all eyes were on the ensuing battle and the action failed to disappoint.

Young grabbed the point and rim-rode around the high side of the speedway in his fast 42, with Shaw’s General Lee 01 never out of sight. A lap 14 caution gave Shaw another crack at overpowering Young, but a green-white-checkered finish following a lap 19 yellow set up a thrilling finish.

Young went to the bottom of turns 1 and 2 on the restart with Shaw sailing around the cushion that set up a turn 4 slider attempt that came up just a few feet short as Young drove to the middle exiting the turn and third WCS victory that included the DIRTcar victory two weeks ago.

“I’ve had some great battles with Colton here and have come out on the wrong end on a few of them,” said Young. “I went to the bottom on that last restart to protect the bottom, and yeah l was pretty nervous in doing that. I knew (Colton) was going to make a run but it’s hard to carry the momentum off four on a slider and we were able to hang on.

“We have a busy schedule coming up, but hopefully we’ll be back a few times late in the year.”

The speedway will welcome back its Fast Five program next Saturday, with the much-anticipated Kids Night and Danny Gardner Memorial for Super Stocks highlighting the Aug. 12 Fast Five Series visit.

TURNER, STRATFORD, BEAGLE, AND RILEY WIN ON SLACK LUMBER NIGHT AT OHSWEKEN

Story by Brent Otchere

OHSWEKEN, Ont. (July 28, 2023) – Slack Lumber presented Christmas in July on Friday at Ohsweken Speedway; Ryan Turner, Brett Stratford, Ryan Beagle, and Alex Riley took A-Main wins.

Kool Kidz-Corr/Pak 360 Sprint Cars Darren Dryden started on pole alongside Kyle Phillips to take the green flag for the 25 lap 360 Sprint Car A-Main. Dryden had the race under control as he led the first half of the race, however D.J. Christie began to close the gap on his lead. Christie was experimenting with different lines and trying to find a faster way around the track, however he bit off more than he could chew on lap ten in the exit of turn four; Christie got over the edge and almost hit the outside wall, clipping Dylan Westbrook when he came back on track. Westbrook’s car suffered severe front suspension damage which retired him from the race. Christie was able to carry on with little to no damage done to his car.

Ryan Turner took full advantage of the restart, slotting himself comfortably in the second position. Lap 17 saw the second and final caution flag fall, once again allowing Ryan Tuner to have another strong restart. Turner was able to overtake Dryden for the lead with a handful of laps left to go and pick up his second win of the year. Rounding out the top five were Dryden in second, Mitch Brown third, Holly Porter fourth, and Liam Martin fifth. Ryan Turner now leads the 360 Sprint Car track championship standings over Liam Martin by 44 points.

Strickland’s Crate Sprint Cars Brett Stratford and Sheldon Bender brought the field to the green flag for the 20 lap Crate Sprint Car A-Main. Stratford led the first lap just before two early caution flags. Stratford was able to open more than two seconds over the field until his lead was extinguished by yet another caution. The restart of the race saw Will Marche immediately bring out the red flag as he clobbered the back stretch wall, flipping and losing the left rear wheel in the process. The safety crew arrived quickly at the wreck and confirmed that Marche didn’t suffer any major injuries.

The final caution flag came just two laps later. Stratford had successfully defended his lead in all five restarts; this consistency was the winning move which saw him secure his second win of his career in dominating fashion, leading every lap of the race. To round out the top five were Jesse Costa in second, Steve Murdock third, John Cadman fourth, and Rob Neely fifth. Costa now leads the Crate Sprint Car track championship standings over Mack DeMan by seven points.

Middleport Mechanical Thunder Stocks The front row of the grid featured Travis Whittal and Mike Klazinga to begin the 20 lap Thunder Stock A-Main. Klazinga led the first six laps ahead of the frenzy that was the mid pack. The inevitable caution came out on lap six and saw championship contender Kyle Wert suffer damage which put him multiple laps down. Ryan Dinning took over the lead on the restart, only to have Dave Bailey take it away on the next lap.

The mid field featured heated racing as positions were being made and lost, however all this excitement brought out another caution. Ryan Beagle used the restart to slot himself in second, chasing down the leader. The final caution came out late into the race, setting up a shootout between Bailey and Beagle for the win. Beagle was able to edge out Bailey by 0.214 seconds to claim his fourth win of the season. Crossing the finish line next to complete the top five were Bailey in second, Dinning third, Trevor DeBoer fourth, and Mark Fawcett fifth. Dave Bailey now leads the championship standings over Kyle Wert by 10 points.

HRW Automotive Mini Stocks Niko Hansen started on pole with Shawn Taylor next to him for the 15 lap Mini Stock A-Main. Hansen quickly put a sizable lead over the field as he began to encounter traffic by lap seven. Ashton Dickie used the traffic to get around Hansen and assume the lead, while Alex Riley followed through to snag the second position.

The race was running clean and green, however a battle between the two leaders became dicey as paint was swapped on the last lap. As Riley had half a car length advantage over Dickie entering the final corners, Dickie sent one final lunge for the lead, but the move proved to be fruitless as Riley claimed his second victory of season. Dickie had to settle for second, while Wayde Thorne finished in third, Hansen fourth, and Ryan Hillar fifth. Hillar now leads the championship standings over Mike Sarantakos by 32 points.

Up Next at Ohsweken Speedway Insta-Panels presents Memorial Night featuring the Noelle Teal Memorial Twin 14’s for the Strickland’s Crate Sprint Cars, Brock Leonard Memorial 50 for the Middleport Mechanical Thunder Stocks, and Art Hill Memorial 42 for the HRW Automotive Mini Stocks on Friday, August 4. The event will also feature a special race with all three divisions called Noah’s Dash in memory of Noah Thomas. The Thunder Stock and Mini Stock events serve as combined races for the 2023 Insta-Panels Duel on the Dirt series. Visit www.ohswekenspeedway.com for more information. ________________________

CAREER 1ST SHARON WINS FOR MICHAEL BAUER IN "410" SPRINTS & CODY KOTELES IN STOCKS; JC BOYER & JACOB EUCKER NOTCH 1ST WINS OF 2023 IN RUSH MODS & ECONO MODS

July 29, 2023

By Mike Leone

(Hartford, OH)…Despite three rounds of showers during the morning, afternoon, and evening, Sharon Speedway management persevered with the "Steel Valley Thunder" program for the "Bill Kirila Memorial" presented by Bucks Fabricating and Barris Supply on Saturday night. Four drivers celebrated their first wins in the Hovis Auto & Truck Supply victory lane including Michael Bauer-Hovis Auto & Truck Supply "410" Sprint Cars, Cody Koteles-Gibson Insurance Agency Pro Stocks, JC Boyer-HTMA/Precise Racing Products RUSH Sportsman Modifieds, and Jacob Eucker-Whelen Econo Mods. Eighty-three cars filled the pit area matching the season high from the "Lou Blaney Memorial"

Michael Bauer emerged victorious for his first career Sharon Speedway "410" Sprint Car victory worth $3,000 in a race that had four different leaders and issues for early leaders Lee Jacobs and A.J. Flick. Bauer started sixth and led for two different intervals during the 30-lap Hovis Auto & Truck Supply feature that was contested on a blazing fast track with near record speeds. Bauer became the third new Sharon "410" Sprint Car winner of 2023 and 174th different driver to win a "410" feature in the storied history of the track.

"Wow this is setting it now," expressed an emotional and excited 30-year-old Eighty-Four, Pa. victor. "This is for everyone who stuck by me and came on board in the last couple years even when we were struggling. I have to give it up to my crew because without them I couldn't be doing this. They do a great job and today were changing bars and everything. Shannon is my crew chief and I don't mean that like how some people say their wives are their crew chiefs; she runs the notebook, she sets it up, and here we are now. She gave me a great car. I told her put it in survive mode and let's get through this and make it really free. We had all four up in the fluff, and it was just hold it strong. I was just holding it wide open. I tell people all the time I just love racing Sprint Cars, but to win one- that's awesome."

Jacobs took off in the lead in search of his first career Sharon win, but on lap two something in his steering broke and shot the John Lewis #81 hard into the turn four fence; thankfully he was okay. Under caution, two more drivers in the top five pitted including Darren Pifer and Andy Priest. Adam Kekich inherited the lead when racing resumed and the top four that also included Michael Bauer, Brandon Matus, and Flick pulled away from the field. Flick passed Matus for third on lap three. Bauer then snuck under and past Kekich in turn two for the lead on lap four.

Flick, who started ninth, continued his charge to the front driving under Kekich in lapped traffic on lap eight to take second. Bauer had a two-second advantage by the time Flick raced his way to runner-up. That lead though quickly evaporated as Bauer struggled to lap Darin Gallagher. Flick then flew by Bauer in traffic in turn one on lap 13 for the lead. By the halfway point, Flick extended his lead; however, Bauer would close in at times in traffic staying within striking distance. Flick appeared to be headed to his first Sharon win of the season, but slowed on lap 24 as mechanical gremlins ended his run.

Bauer inherited the lead and led the remaining way to become the fifth different winner in seven races this season in his Mobile Bail Bonds/Wildwood Collision/A Main Podcast/SP Technologies-sponsored #46. Kekich crossed the finish in second, but failed to scale and was disqualified. Eighth starting Dan Shetler was credited with a season best second, 4.781 seconds behind Bauer. Matus was third for his second straight podium finish as 10th starting Carl Bowser was fourth. Gallagher charged from 20th to complete the top five.

Jimmy Morris III went 17th to 6th. Brett Brunkenhoefer was seventh over Brent Matus. Bodey McClintock was ninth in his first ever appearance as Mike Marano II completed the top 10 in his season debut. Gallagher set fast time overall against the 21-car field with a lap of 12.845 not far off the 12.704 track record by Danny Holtgraver set 10 years ago. Heat winners over the 21-car field were Flick, Pifer, and Bowser.

Cody Koteles joined Michael Bauer with his first career Sharon win as well. Koteles led the entire way in the 15-lap Gibson Insurance Agency Pro Stock feature to become the fourth new winner of the season and seventh different winner in eight races!

"I never imagined the track would be this heavy for my first one," acknowledged the 24-year-old Stockdale, Pa. driver. "This place is normally like glass, but it was a handful tonight. I can barely feel my arms so my dad is going to have to drive home. We've been real consistent all years, just haven't been knocking wins off. I got this car a month or so ago so to get one in it feels really good. We had a good run here last week so I think we have some momentum rolling."

Koteles was never challenged and was slowed only by one caution for Coleton Longwell's flat tire with four laps completed. Koteles crossed the finish line first by 1.425 seconds in his Hoods Up Quick Lube/Top Care Lawn Care/Anarchy Customs/955 Automotive/Royal Purple/Mighty Auto Parts-sponsored #1K to become the 217th different driver to win in the division all-time.

Jonathan Davis passed Jason Jones on lap two and would finish a career best second. Brian Carothers came from eighth to take third getting by Jones on lap five. Jones dropped to fourth over Russ Coyne as both racers recorded their season best finishes. Hunter Exley and Davis won the heat races. Before suffering mechanical woes that ended his night, Curt J. Bish set a new track record in the first heat race with a lap 17.432!

After Tony Tatgenhorst and Ayden Cipriano suffered issues on the final lap, ninth starting JC Boyer emerged victorious in a wild last lap scramble in the 20-lap HTMA/Precise Racing Products RUSH Sportsman Modified feature for his first win of 2023! With 26 cars on hand, Boyer earned $550 for just his second career win as he became the fourth different winner in five races this season.

"That was two close calls at the end there," described the 30-year-old nearby Burghill, Ohio resident. "I thought for sure Tony (Tatgenhorst) had that one. We knew starting ninth we'd have our work cut out for us and needed cautions to go our way so it worked out pretty good. You could ring the top in (turns) one and two to make up ground. I hate to see that for Tony and Ayden (Cipriano)- those guys ran a hell of a race, but bad luck gets you sometimes. I'm fortunate enough tonight to be up here so I'll take it. When Tony and Ayden got together, I thought for sure I was going to hit Tony's front end, then I was trying to run the highline and I saw the smoke and nowhere to go and go into the back of Ayden, but I'm glad I made it through."

Tatgenhorst led the first five laps before a caution for Ben Easler and Billy Cunningham, who was making his first career RUSH Mod start. When racing resumed, Cipriano used the outside to take over the top spot; however, only one lap would be completed before another caution when cars got bunched up sending Jacob Wolfe spinning. This time, Tatgenhorst used the outside on the restart to regain the lead on lap seven.

Tatgenhorst opened up some ground as the laps ticked off. Cipriano though closed back in on lap 14 and was all over the leader on lap 18 as Tatgenhorst was in search of his first win of the season. Cipriano got a good run on the outside of turns one and two, but Tatgenhorst moved up to block his charge. Cipriano's front bumper got hooked with Tatgenhorst's rear bumper and they were attached the entire way down the backstretch. Tatgenhorst clipped an infield tire in turn three and spun while Cipriano continued on. It was the second heartbreaker of the year for Tatgenhorst, who has had victory in sight before unfortunate incidents.

Cipriano inherited the lead, but on the last lap entering turn three went up in smoke. Boyer made contact with the slowing Cipriano, but was able to sneak under as the third place car of Rob Kristyak, who made contact with Cipriano. Boyer then had a clear path to the checkered flag winning by 0.773 seconds in his PI&I Motor Express/L&M Processing/Winners on Main/Youngstown Powder Coating/Kelly-Cummings Funeral Homes/Ohio Intra Express/RKR-sponsored #12.

Kristyak was a season best second. After eight years of trying, Jacob Jordan recorded his first career top five at Sharon in third after starting 15th to boot! Bill Cunningham matched his career best Sharon RUSH Mod finish in fourth despite starting 12th. Gage Priester also recorded his first career top five at Sharon in five years of trying with a fifth!

Kole Holden, Lucas Canon, Jacob Rutana, Jordan Ehrenberg, and Wendell Pinckney in his first start of the year completed the top 10. Ehrenberg started 24th and earned the $100 Summit Racing Equipment Hard Charger gift card. Canon, Kristyak, and Cipriano won the heat races over the 26-car field, which was the highest count since the 2021 season finale.

Jacob Eucker became the fourth new winner of the night copping the victory in the 20-lap Whelen Econo Mod feature. Eucker led the final 17 laps holding off a furious charge by Dennis Lunger, Jr. to become the season's fourth different winner in four races. With 24 cars on hand, Eucker earned $450.

"Man the track was fast," stated the 22-year-old nearby Fowler, Ohio driver. "That was probably the first time I've ever had the track rip the wheel out of my hands. I saw (Dennis) Lunger a bit through (turns) one and two. He's always raced me clean- he's a clean driver and I knew I'd be okay. I have to thank my parents, fiancé Brooke, grandparents and all of my sponsors."

Standout Jeremy Double started on the pole and was trying to become the first repeat winner of the season, but lost the handle on his own and spun from the lead in turn four on lap four. Eucker, who started third, inherited the lead over Lunger. Lunger had three double file restarts alongside Eucker, but was unable to make the pass. Lunger got alongside of Eucker in turn one on the final lap, but Eucker had the momentum off the top and carried that to victory by just 0.777 seconds in his Ohio Commerce Center/Dr. John Eucker/Close Racing Supply/Danski Dyno Performance-sponsored #64. Eucker's 15th career win tied him for third on the division's all-time win list to go along with a UMP Modified win.

Lunger was runner-up in his first appearance of 2023 barely edging out Garrett Calvert. Will Thomas III was fourth. Double came all the way from the tail in the final 17 laps to finish fifth. Brian Toto went 19th to 6th. Ed Vogel, who started second, faded to seventh in his 2023 debut. Carter Bidwell, Zac Etzel, and Gary Sullivan completed the top 10. Heat winners over the season high 24-car field were Calvert, Thomas, and Lunger.

Coming up next Saturday (August 5), the Hovis Auto & Truck Supply UMP Modifieds will headline the "Steel Valley Thunder" program for $1,000 to-win in their final tune-up before the $2,558 to-win "Bill Gabrielson Memorial" on August 19. Also on the card will be the Gibson Insurance Agency Pro Stocks, HTMA/Precise Racing Products RUSH Sportsman Modifieds, and the Whelen Econo Mods. Race time is 7 p.m.

The racetrack was full of cars and traffic came in to play quickly bunching up the front runners. Scarborough stayed low and worked his way through but not without Hendershot and Lynn staying right on him and sometimes next to him. Hendershot was making a run for the lead after getting by Lynn but a yellow for a stalled car would slow the pace. With two to go Scarborough took off and Hendershot was not able to keep Lynn behind him as retook second but time ran out to make a charge as Scarborough flashed under a waving checkered flag.

Randall, Dover and Yeigh Triumphant During Nordstrom's Automotive Night at Huset's Speedway

Inside Line Promotions - BRANDON, S.D. (July 30, 2023) - Chase Randall, Jack Dover and Cory Yeigh powered to wins at Huset's Speedway on Sunday during Nordstrom's Automotive Night.

Randall made a late-race pass to score his third Cressman Sanitation 410 Outlaw Sprint Cars victory of the season - tied for the most triumphs in any division at the track this season.

"Luckily I could kind of move around and find something that could work better," he said. "Every time I'd get close I'd make a mistake or a yellow would come out."

Brooke Tatnell held the point for the first 23 laps as he lapped into the top 15. However, a late caution allowed Randall to restart on the bumper of Tatnell. He stayed close and was able to pounce coming to the white flag as he drove around Tatnell in turns three and four.

"A few times in lapped traffic I ran the middle in (turns) three and four and got a good run," he said after winning by 0.815 seconds. "I was finding clean air to get the car to stick."

Tatnell's second-place run was his fifth top five of the season at the track.

"I knew we had a good race car right off the top," he said. "When you're sitting there with a green-white-checkered or a four-lap restart the ideal spot is second because you don't have to make a decision. Congratulations to him."

Riley Goodno rounded out the podium.

"I think my car just wasn't there to be up front with these guys," he said.

Dusty Zomer finished fourth and Tanner Holmes was fifth.

Christopher Thram set quick time during qualifying before Zomer, Rusty Hickman and Justin Henderson garnered heat race wins.

Dover became the ninth different winner in nine Wyffels Hybrids RaceSaver Sprint Car Series main events this season as he held off 11th-starting Tyler Drueke by 0.456 seconds.

"We went out for hot laps and the car wasn't running right," Dover said. "We went through the whole fuel system and fixed it and she ran strong for the rest of the night. It's always fun to drive a nice car like that. Second night out in the car, it's pretty awesome."

Dover was out front throughout the 20-lap A Main, which showcased a red flag that involved points leader Cole Vanderheiden on the opening lap. Dover led by more than three and a half seconds at one point in the race, but three more cautions bunched the field together and traffic in the final two laps allowed a hard charging Drueke to close in rapidly.

Mike Moore recorded a third-place result with Tyler Rabenberg ending fourth and Dusty Ballenger fifth.

Dover, Moore, Taylor Ryan and Nicholas Winter posted heat race wins. John Lambertz was the B Main winner.

Yeigh led the opening lap and the final 15 laps of the Nordstrom's Automotive Late Model Street Stocks main event, which featured a green-white-checkered finish following a caution on the originally scheduled final lap.

"I almost forgot how to get here; it's been a while," he quipped in Sea Foam Victory Lane.

Matt Steuerwald passed Yeigh for the top spot on Lap 2, but Yeigh stayed nearly side by side for the next few laps before he returned the favor on Lap 7. Yeigh entered traffic with five laps to go and Steuerwald quickly closed. Yeigh stayed committed to the bottom lane and faced another close call on Lap 20 when a fellow driver spun in front of him in turn two, setting up a two-lap race to the checkered flag. Yeigh got a strong restart and held the point to win by 0.965 seconds for his 19 th career victory and first of the season at Huset's Speedway.

Steuerwald finished second with Eric Moser placing third. Tim Dann charged from 14 th to fourth and Ron Howe advanced from 12 th to fifth.

The heat races were won by Garet Deboer, Yeigh and Colby Klaassen.

Huset's Speedway will take the next two weekends off before resuming action Aug. 15 for the High Limit Sprint Car Series presented by Northwest Tire Inc. featuring the Cressman Sanitation 410 Outlaw Sprint Cars and the Nordstrom's Automotive Late Model Street Stocks.

Pirtek Renegade

New Richmond, WI, July 29, 2023

After an off week due to wet weather, both the traditional and winged Pirtek Renegade sprints descended on Cedar Lake Speedway for a night of competition under near perfect summer racing conditions. Fifteen traditional sprints checked in the back gate, while a whopping 30 wings signed in to close out the month of July.

In heat race competition, for the traditional sprints, Pirtek heat 1 went to Cam Schafer and RTS Podcast heat 2 went to Mike Mueller. In winged competition, the Pirtek heat race went to Brad Peterson, while RTS Podcast heat 2 was claimed by Ronnie Erickson. Chase Viebrock picked up Hoosier Tire heat 3 victory.

The first of the finales was the traditional sprints, where Mackenzie Bjorklund and Jake Kouba redrew the front row and Kouba shot to the point early. On lap two, Cam Schafer squeezed under Kouba to take over the lead - then turned on the after-burners, immediately stretching his advantage. Chasing Schafer were Kouba, Dan Atchison, Mike Mueller, and Mark Chevalier. After a crash in his heat race, Nick DaRonco had to start 14th in the 15-car field, and he quickly cracked the whip. Without the benefit of a caution, DaRonco was up to seventh by the crossed flags and broke into the top five a few laps later. Out front, Schafer was off racing in his own ZIP code and went on to claim his fourth Pirtek sticker of the summer, and third in a row. Rounding out the top five were Kouba, Mueller, DaRonco, and Atchison.

For the winged feature, it was Mark Chevalier and Chase Viebrock leading the 24-car field to green with Viebrock taking the early lead. By the second circuit, Chevalier took over the top spot, with Viebrock, Jack Berger, Ronnie Erickson, and Brad Peterson in pursuit. At the crossed flags Berger began to pressure Chevalier for the lead, and with nine to go, Berger made the pass for the top spot. A caution with 5 laps remaining re-bunched the field. Back under green, Chevalier mounted a quick challenge before Berger began to stretch his advantage again. At the double checkers it was Berger claiming his first Pirtek Renegade feature of the summer in front of Chevalier, Brett Peterson (from 16th!), Erickson, and Peterson.

The Renegades have a short respite before their next event, with the traditionals waiting until Saturday, August 19, before traveling to the Jackson Motorplex in Jackson, MN, as part of the 45th annual Jackson Nationals The wings lock horns that same night at their home track of Cedar Lake Speedway. More information on upcoming events for the Pirtek Renegades, as well as links to other Renegades series, can be found at www.umsprints.com, or on facebook.

Philo nips Henry for Fremont AFCS 410 win; Stambaugh edges Dussel for GLSS victory; Weaver gets 74th career Fremont win

Saturday, July 29, 2023

By Brian Liskai

FREMONT, Ohio – After a week of intense heat and rain, the fans at Fremont Speedway were treated to fantastic finishes in an all-sprint car night of racing Saturday, July 29 on Northern Ohio Trailer Sales Night.

Waterville, Ohio’s Travis Philo banged wheels with Cap Henry coming to the checkers of the Fort Ball Pizza Palace 410 Sprint feature to claim his second career win at “The Track That Action Built.” Henry’s second place finish increases his point lead in the All Pro Aluminum Cylinder Heads/Kistler Racing Products Attica Fremont Championship Series presented by the Baumann Auto Group.

Cale Thomas, Nate Dussel and Stuart Brubaker rounded out the top five in a 30-lap feature that did not see a caution until 10 laps to go. A caution with three laps remaining set up the dramatic finish with Philo winning by .123 seconds

“We didn’t need those yellows. That last lap was definitely my worst lap of the race. Hats off to my guys. We had a hell of a car. I have to thank my dad first off…I wouldn’t be here without him. AJ Havens and Kayden…they are doing a hell of a job. We have a really fast car right now,” said Philo beside his Control Design Solutions, Tire Slick, Banshee Graphics, Columbus Equipment, Bohmer Rentals, Kistler Engines, Berryman Racing Shocks, Classic Ink USA backed #5T.

In the Great Lakes Super Sprints (360 sprints) feature Elida, Ohio’s Max Stambaugh led all 25 laps but coming to the checkers former Fremont track champion Nate Dussel made it exciting. The duo raced side by side for the win and Stambaugh got the win by .004 seconds for his first career victory at the track. Jared Horstman, Phil Gressman and Brandon Moore rounded out the top five.

“This place beats me up. Every time we come here I just think about going to the casino in Toledo. I might have to do that a little bit tonight. Hats off to my race team. It’s a hot day out and they worked really hard and it paid off. I got a little lackadaisical there…Nate is a really good racer and to hold him off…we’re getting to crunch time with our group and it’s going to be fast. I need to thank Smith Motorsports…they give me an opportunity to race. My buddy Tyson, Zac, Ty, Steve…my guys…I have a really good group of people around me,” said Stambaugh beside his TC Powersports, Jim Coffey and Son Plumbing, Sharkbite Plumbing Products, Polaris Off-Road backed machine.

In the Fremont Federal Credit Union 305 Sprint feature, Dustin Stroup jumped into the early lead but eighth place starter Paul Weaver, a four time and defending Fremont Speedway champion, used lapped traffic to catch and pass Stroup for the lead on lap 15. In the non-stop 25 lap affair, Weaver drove away for his third win of the season at the track with Stroup, John Ivy, Jamie Miller and Logan Riel rounding out the top five.

It is Weaver’s 74th career victory at Fremont Speedway, putting him into a tie for second on the all-time win list, just two away from Art Ball atop the standings. The victory also pads Weaver’s lead for a fourth straight NAPA of Bryan Attica Fremont Championship Series presented by Jason Dietsch Trailer Sales title.

“We had all kinds of problems at Attica this year…it’s like going from zero to hero when we come to Fremont. It was a real racy track. I’d rather have this than a wide open no passing track. The rear-end in this car came from Jimmy Colvin who hasn’t raced in six or eight years. The chassis is a 2009. The right rear tire I bought from my nephew Jason Keckler who hasn’t raced in four or five years. I have to thank Bob Hampshire, Pam and Steve Brown, Mike from M&L Excavating and my great crew,” said Weaver of his B&B Drain Service, Hampshire Engines, M&L Excavating backed #1W.

Fremont Speedway will be back in action for a big weekend double-header, Friday and Saturday, Aug. 4 and 5 with the AFCS 410 and 305 sprints and dirt trucks in action. Thanks to great support from area businesses and individuals, added money has been put into the purses both nights. There will be a classic car drive-in at the campground on Saturday and lots of fun and games planned beside the racing.

On Friday, Aug. 4 the pit booth will open at 4 p.m. with pit gates at 4:30 p.m. and grandstand gates opening at 5 p.m. with racing under way at 7:45 p.m. Saturday the pit booth will open at 3 p.m. with the pit gates opening at 3:30 p.m., general admission gates at 4 p.m. and racing at 7 p.m.

Joey Ancona surges to first Ocean Sprints win of the season on Friday

Watsonville, CA…Concord, California’s Joey Ancona battled Taco Bravo 360 point leader Rickey Sanders early on, before pulling away at the end to score his second career Ocean Speedway triumph on Friday night.

Joining the 18-year-old Ancona in victory lane were Jason Ryan Jr. with the IMCA Sport Mods, point leader Jason Lazzerini with the Four Bangers, Blake Bower in the WMR finale and Roy Iler with Police N Pursuit. Iler dominated the feature to wrap up the championship with his fifth win of the season.

The 30-lap Ocean Sprints presented by Taco Bravo main event saw Gizdich Ranch winner Rickey Sanders on the pole alongside Joey Ancona. At the waving of the green flag, it was Sanders who charged into the lead and held a steady advantage up front, until a lap-five restart gave Ancona the chance he needed.

Ancona rocketed to the inside and grabbed the lead that he would never relinquish. Sanders soon had to deal with the likes of DJ Netto, Jake Andreotti and Gauge Garcia. Netto at one point moved up to second, only to have a red flag negate the pass.

With the race waging on Netto slid to the inside of Sanders but contact between the pair ensued and resulted in Netto suffering a broken front end. As the race wound down a green-white-checkered restart was seen and during it, Sanders and Garcia came together, which saw both flip off turn two. Luckily, both drivers were okay but done for the race.

Ancona then led the final two circuits over Andreotti, Santa Maria’s Bryce Eames, Gilroy’s Kurt Nelson and Livermore’s Travis Labat, who began the night by earning the Ocean Sprints Fast Time Award in qualifying.

Ocean Sprints results: 1. 88a Joey Ancona, 2. 7p Jake Andreotti, 3. 50 Bryce Eames, 4. 72w Kurt Nelson, 5. 61 Travis Labat, 6. 8 Jeremy Chisum, 7. 25z Jason Chisum, 8. 121 Rickey Sanders, 9. 88n DJ Netto, 10. 2k Gauge Garcia, 11. 3d Caleb Debem, 12. 72s Brad Dillard

The 20-lap IMCA Sport Mod feature began with Emali VanHoff leading the initial circuits, before Gavin Espino blasted to the point on lap seven.

Two-time Ocean winner this season Jason Ryan Jr. also slipped into the runner up spot and then scooped up the lead around the halfway point. Ryan led the remainder to grab his third triumph of the season over current point leader Chuck Golden, Jonathan Hagio, Steven Allee and Trevor Clymens in the top-five.

IMCA Sport Mod results: 1. 52-Jason Ryan Jr[6]; 2. 3G-Chuck Golden[8]; 3. 46N-Jonathan Hagio[5]; 4. 39-Steven Allee[7]; 5. 2C-Trevor Clymens[9]; 6. 33G-Gavin Espino[1]; 7. 22-Adriane Frost[10]; 8. 22W-Charlie Hunter[13]; 9. 19C-Tommy Clymens[3]; 10. 4M-Emali VanHoff[2]; 11. 33-Mike Gil[11]; 12. 13-Austin McMillin[4]; 13. 168-Bo Crebs[12]

The 20-lap Four Banger finale saw point leader Jason Lazzerini march through the field from 11th starting to net his seventh victory of the season. It took him just eight laps to make the winning move down low off turn four. Kate Beardsley, Peter Vannerus, Kenny Stragalinos and Thomas Cumming comprised the top-five.

Four Bangers results: 1. 0-Jason Lazzerini[11]; 2. 43-Kate Beardsley[2]; 3. 37-Peter Vannerus[5]; 4. 720-Kenny Stragalinos[6]; 5. 8-Thomas Cumming[3]; 6. 810-Matt Hill[8]; 7. 51-Cooper Keegan[1]; 8. 2-Nicole Beardsley[9]; 9. 5-Charlie Cole[14]; 10. 333-Sarah Ayers[13]; 11. 27-Patrick Kelley[10]; 12. 52-Tony Gullo[4]; 13. 14-TJ Santos[12]; 14. 25-Bill Beardsley[7]

Two-time WMR Midget champion Blake Bower scored an exciting victory in a non-stop feature Friday night. DeMartini led lap one while Bruno slipped back to fifth on the opening circuit. Bower looked underneath DeMartini in turn two to nab the lead on lap three. DeMartini ran within a car length of Bower for a few laps before falling into the clutches of three-time 2023 winner Drake Edwards of Surprise, Ariz.

Edwards showed his nose to DeMartini on the inside several times before Bell was able to take third away from Edwards. The top-four cars comprised of the three Boscacci Racing teammates and Edwards, running closely together over the final half of the feature. Bell overhauled DeMartini for second then tried to run down Bower for the win.

Bower charged ahead on the final two laps for the victory followed by Bell. DeMartini held off a late upstairs challenge from Edwards for third. Bruno rounded out the top-five.

WMR results: 1. 9-Blake Bower[4]; 2. 09-Bryant Bell[5]; 3. 19-Adrianna DeMartini[2]; 4. 4R-Drake Edwards[3]; 5. 54-Anthony Bruno[1]; 6. 96X-Logan Mitchell[9]; 7. 6-Shawn Arriaga[6]; 8. 7-Greg Dennett[7]; 9. 11-Jason Sanders[10]; 10. 66-Darin Horton[8]; 11. 15-Adam Weisberg[13]; 12. 68-Marvin Mitchell[11]; 13.

Zimbardi Pockets $3,565 in Outlaw Summer Nationals Win

By Curtis Berleue (Dundee, NY) | For the fourth time in his career, Jared Zimbardi found himself in Empire Super Sprints victory lane on Friday night at the Outlaw Speedway in Dundee, NY. As part of the 8th annual Outlaw Summer Nationals, Zimbardi’s triumph was worth a cool $3,565.

By virtue of draw, Pinnacle Pole Award winner Jonathan Preston and Jared Zimbardi led the field to the green flag, with Preston jumping out to the early advantage. For the first 17 laps, the top 3 would remain unchanged, with Preston pacing Zimbardi and third starting Jordan Thomas.

Meanwhile, 13th starting Shawn Donath was busy working his way through the field, en-route to earning the PJC Spray Foam hard charger award by advancing all the way to the 5th position.

As the leaders hit lap 18, Zimbardi, Thomas, and Preston put on a clinic trading slide jobs and positions. When the dust settled, it was Zimbardi who came out on top, with Preston close on his heels and Thomas rounding out the Ashley Lynn Winery podium.

“This car is a 10-year-old J&J Chassis,” said Zimbardi. “We have had a lot of success in it over the years. I haven’t bought a lot of new equipment recently, we have just gone back to what we know, put the same setup in it that has been fast for us and it didn’t disappoint.”

“We weren’t really convinced we were on the right track after the heat race, but we made a few changes and hit it just right.”

“When I started to see Preston struggle with lap traffic, I knew we would have a shot. I actually didn’t see him get over the cushion because I was watching the lap cars and next thing I knew I slipped by him.”

“It feels good to be in victory lane again, my six-year-old son Vinny has been giving me grief wanting to get on the wing in victory lane and he’s finally able to do it – he was pretty ecstatic when he pulled the 2 in the redraw too. Being my 50th career win, this one is a little more special.”

On one of the hottest nights of the season thus far, 22 cars lined the pit area at Outlaw. The field was split into three timed hot lap groups, with Rifenburg Contracting fast time awards going to Joe Trenca, Jonathan Preston, and Jordan Thomas. Trenca, Preston and Thomas would all go 2-for2, picking up E&V Energy heat race wins as well. The Cobra Coaches Dash presented by Fratto Curbing was won by Shawn Donath.

Next on the schedule for the Empire Super Sprints is a two-race weekend this coming Friday and Saturday August 4th and 5th at the Utica Rome and Fonda Speedways.

Henry survives late race contact for 2nd straight Attica 410 win; Shiels goes back to back in late models; Miller dominates 305s

Friday, July 28, 2023

By Brian Liskai

ATTICA, Ohio – Cap Henry survived a late race tangle while battling for the lead in the 410 feature Friday, July 28 at Attica Raceway Park and drove to his second straight feature win on Ohio Truck Sales/Adkins Group presented by Integrity Truck and Auto Sales Night.

Henry and Cale Thomas battled for the lead throughout the 30-lap feature for the Callie’s Performance Products 410 Sprints. With five laps to go, Henry and Thomas made contact while racing in lapped traffic with Thomas flipping. Henry survived to claim his third Attica win of 2023 and his seventh overall feature victory of the year. It is his 15th career 410 win at Attica, placing him in a tie with Todd Kane for eighth on the all-time win list.

“To be honest I really don’t know if it was my fault or not. I was kind of starting to move there because I saw Cale and I had been on the top long enough…I knew I needed to start moving. I tried to slide myself there and I was so tight on the curb I slowed way down…I don’t know if I tried to come back down to regain my momentum or if he came up. I feel bad…I never want to see anyone’s car tore up. I respect Cale…I’m disappointed in that deal,” said Henry beside his Jeff Ward Demolitions, Elliott’s Custom Trailers and Carts, Premier Planning Services, Tony Elliott Foundation, Primal Tee Shop; SCS Gear Box, Napa of Fremont backed #33W.

The win pads Henry’s lead in the All Pro Aluminum Cylinder Heads/Kistler Racing Products Attica Fremont Championship Series presented by the Baumann Auto Group. Behind the 2020 Attica and AFCS champion at the checkers were Byron Reed, Trey Jacobs, Travis Philo and TJ Michael.

Britton, Michigan’s Devin Shiels is coming on strong in the Dirt Nerds Podcast powered by Propane UMP Late Models. The four time and defending Attica champion held off a late race challenge from Mike Bores to earn his second straight feature win. It’s the third of the season for the current Attica point leader and 18th of his career at the track. Bores, Rusty Schlenk, Matt Irey and Ryan Markham rounded out the top five.

“I seen something black…didn’t know who it was. I could see him down below and I knew I was going to struggle with those lapped cars a little bit. I think I over-heated the right rear tire a little bit. I kind of went out pretty fast and that side was a little aggressive on it. We were in a little drought there for a little while but I think we have the ship righted,” said Shiels beside his Magic Fountain Auto Wash, Rally’s Hamburgers, Dundee Products, Banshee Graphics, Salenbein Trucking & Excavating, Dirt Nerds Podcast, Banshee Graphics backed #51.

The Fremont Fence 305 Sprint feature featured a tremendous three car battle early with Bryan Sebetto leading laps 1-7, Kasey Ziebold taking the top spot from laps 8-12 with Jamie Miller taking over in lapped traffic on lap 13. Miller pulled away, lapping up to 10th place and winning by nearly six seconds for his third victory of the year at Attica. It is his 38th career 305 win at the track and extends his lead in the NAPA of Bryan Attica Fremont Championship Series presented by Jason Dietsch Trailer Sales. The win also increases Miller’s lead in the Attica points as he looks to add his fourth track title to his resume.

“I knew the car must have been good by the crew’s reaction at the scales. I want to thank all the guys who work all week in the shop on this….they don’t get a lot of recognition but they do a fantastic job. This car just got better and better as the race went on,” said Miller of his Boca Construction, Kenny Kalb Farms, Roberts & Sons Contracting, JLH General Contractor, Tuck Pointing America, Pizza Wheel, Smitty’s Pizza, Queen of Clean, Rohr Total Lawn Care, Crown Battery, Reedtown Tavern, Fostoria Mod Shop, Slade Shock Technology, CA Kustoms, Jamie Miller Trucking, Reliable Spray Foam Insulators, Gill Sawmill sponsored #26.

Attica Raceway Park will be off the following two weeks for the Attica Independent Fair. Racing resumes Friday, Aug. 18 with the AFCS 410 and 305 sprints and UMP late models in action.

BLAKE BOWER EARNS 13TH CAREER OCEAN WMR WIN ON HIS BIRTHDAY

WATSONVILLE, CALIFORNIA (July 28, 2023) – Brentwood’s Blake Bower earned his 13th career Western Midget Racing Ocean Speedway victory on his 22nd birthday, winning Friday’s action in Watsonville. The two-time defending series champion anchored a Boscacci Racing lockdown of the podium positions after the 20-lap feature.

Shawn Arriaga of Antioch and Bryant Bell of Oakley split the eight-lap heat races. Anthony Bruno of San Jose and Brentwood’s Adrianna DeMartini were the front row starters for the main event.

DeMartini led lap one while Bruno slipped back to fifth on the opening circuit. Bower looked underneath DeMartini in turn two to nab the lead on lap three.

DeMartini ran within a car length of Bower for a few laps before falling into the clutches of three-time 2023 winner Drake Edwards of Surprise, Ariz.

Edwards showed his nose to DeMartini on the inside several times before Bell was able to take third away from Edwards.

The top-four cars comprised of the three Boscacci Racing teammates and Edwards, running closely together over the final half of the feature. Bell overhauled DeMartini for second then tried to run down Bower for the win.

Bower charged ahead on the final two laps for the victory followed by Bell. DeMartini held off a late upstairs challenge from Edwards for third. Bruno rounded out the top-five.

Western Midget Racing competes at Antioch Speedway on Saturday night with the Hunt Magnetos Wingless Sprints also competing. For more information visit www.WesternMidgetRacing.com

Prochaska and Eakin Return to Jackson Motorplex Victory Lane During New Fashion Pork 360 Challenge Presented by Best Western Fairmont

Inside Line Promotions - JACKSON, Minn. (July 28, 2023) - Skylar Prochaska and Nate Eakin produced long-awaited victories at Jackson Motorplex on Friday when the track hosted the New Fashion Pork 360 Challenge presented by Best Western Fairmont.

Prochaska captured his first triumph at the track since July 2016 by leading all 25 laps of the Barb and Dean Wieskus Memorial featuring the Gunderson Racing Inc. Midwest Sprint Touring Series and QualityFreightRate.com Midwest Power Series 360 sprint cars.

"It seems like that long, too," he said. "It's just good to be back here. I was on a streak for a while and then went on a lull."

Five cautions bunched the field up behind Prochaska, who faced his toughest challenge on the final restart with five laps to go when Kaleb Johnson threw a slide job attempt in turns one and two. The duo was nearly side by side, but Prochaska powered away on the top groove. The momentum pushed his lead to nearly one second and he held onto that advantage the final handful of circuits to win by 0.850 seconds.

"It would have been unfortunate to lose it," he said. "I knew it was his one shot and he just didn't complete it. He must have got a good start off the bottom. I seen him sliding across. I had a choice to stay in it or try to cross him back over. I stayed in it."

Johnson garnered a second-place showing to extend his top-five streak to six straight during 360 sprint car races at Jackson Motorplex.

"I kinda knew that was the only chance I had at it," he said. "He was so good in clean air. I had to throw a Hail Mary at him. Congrats to Skylar and his team for the win."

Christopher Thram posted a third-place result.

"It was a good night," he said. "We're happy with it and we'll go to Knoxville (Raceway) tomorrow and try again."

Riley Goodno finished fourth and Brooke Tatnell was fifth.

Tatnell was the quickest qualifier to open the night before Sam Henderson, Javen Ostermann and Prochaska posted heat race triumphs.

Eakin led the distance of the 20-lap Wyffels Hybrids RaceSaver Sprint Car Series main event, winning by 1.330 seconds to score his first victory at Jackson Motorplex since June 2018.

"It's a lot of fun," he said. "We've tried and tried and tried and just hadn't been able to get up here this year. I can't thank everyone enough. There's definitely a team effort here."

The first half of the feature was caution-free before there were four cautions between Lap 11 and Lap 14. Eighth-starting Lee Goos Jr. capitalized on the restarts. He drove into the top five and was part of a spirited battle for third place during the middle stage of the race until the final restart when he maneuvered into third place in turns one and two and into the runner-up position in turns three and four.

Jacob Peterson rounded out the podium with Andrew Sullivan charging from 12 th to fourth. Dusty Ballenger placed fifth.

Goos Jr., Jeremy Schultz, Peterson and Ryan Navratil were the heat race winners and Trevor Smith captured the B Main.

The final Jackson Motorplex event of the season is the 45 th annual AGCO Jackson Nationals powered by FENDT featuring the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series Aug. 17-19. The Wyffels Hybrids RaceSaver Sprint Car Series (on Aug. 17-18) and the Upper Midwest Renegades Sprint Car Series (on Aug. 19) will also compete during the marquee event.

JACKSON MOTORPLEX -

Paul Nienhiser Gets Revenge in Dubuque with Sprint Invaders!

(Bill W) Dubuque, IA, July 26, 2023 – The Dubuque Fairgrounds Speedway had been a source of bad luck for driver Paul Nienhiser and owner Scott Bonar in the past, but Wednesday, they put it behind them with a convincing Sprint Invaders win. Nienhiser became the eighth different driver to win on the high banks of Dubuque in the nine visits the series has made. The Chapin, Illinois driver earned $2,000 for his ninth career Sprint Invaders victory, and second of the year.

Jamie Ball, who had convincingly won the Shake-up Dash, led early in the 25-lap feature, ahead of Nienhiser, Josh Higday and Chris Martin. Martin grabbed third from Higday on lap three, but the latter battled back and pulled away in the how position.

Up front, Ball was committed to the low side, and Nienhiser, the cushion up top. On lap five, Nienhiser had a good run in turns three and four and passed Ball coming for the start/finish line. He entered lapped traffic on lap eight before a caution came out for Cam Martin, who had a flat right rear. Under caution, the third running Higday also pulled off with a flat right rear.

Nienhiser led Ball, Chris Martin, Cody Wehrle and Dustin Clark. Ball made a bid for the lead when the green flew that fell short. Chris Martin took advantage of Ball, and moved by into the second spot. Nienhiser was back in lapped traffic by the seventeenth circuit, and appeared to be cruising to a win when Devin Wignall did a 360 spin with two to go. Nienhiser had lapped up to ninth place.

Nienhiser had no problem leading the rest of the way with a green, white, checker finish. Ball ducked under Martin on the last lap in turn four to claim second. Clark was fourth and Tyler Lee was fifth. Wehrle, hard-charger Bret Tripplett, Ryan Bunton, Luke Verardi and Colton Fisher rounded out the top ten. Nienhiser, Higday and Chris Martin were heat race winners.

“We always love coming to Dubuque,” said Nienhiser in Victory Lane. “There are a lot of great fans here and we appreciate the atmosphere. We were kind of good early tonight, then had to work on our stuff a bit. I felt like we were pretty killer in the feature. I feel like this place owes me a couple. Jamie is a pro and had a really good car tonight. I could tell he was asset for the bottom. We feel like the fast way around here is usually the top, even if the bottom is fast. We had a good racecar and that made my job a lot easier.”

“We absolutely set up for the bottom there after how good we were all night,” said Ball. “Sixth to second in the heat and third to first in the Dash. We were hoping it would hold on a little big longer…we were good but Paul was better in three and four and that showed when he passed me. I love racing with Chris. It’s just good clean racing. On the last lap, I went to pass him, and I really felt the right rear dig in and knew it was cut. I started drifting towards him. I’m glad it wasn’t another lap. I’m really excited about our race team.”

“I thought initially I would be set up good around the bottom,” said Chris Martin. “The track changed quite a bit and I should have known better. But overall, it was a great race. Being able to race for second, and maybe throw something on a restart…overall, it was just a great night.”

The Sprint Invaders will see a two-race Illinois weekend in their next action. On Saturday, August 19, they’ll visit the Peoria Speedway, and then move to the Adams County Speedway in Quincy on Sunday, August 20.

Hutton Continues Sprint Car Strong-hold After Second LOLR CRSA Series Win

Race Report by Land of Legends PR Director Tom Skibinski – July 26th, 2023 –

(CANANDAIGUA, NY) – A perfect summer day turned even better come nightfall for high point man Jordan Hutton as the Hannibal hotshoe continued his dominance Saturday night at Land Of Legends Raceway, capturing round two of the DisBatch Brewing Company Challenge in the A-Verdi Storage Containers CRSA Series powered by SuperGen Products for MighTea Boba 305 Sprint Cars.

“That kid is going to be fast once he gets more wheel time and some more experience under his belt,” remarked Hutton, after inheriting the lead when rookie Dillon Paddock clipped a uke tire with just two laps left and cruising home to the lucrative $1,000 victory.

A record car count of 30 winged machines filled the pits yet in the end that didn't seem to change much in the final outcome. Hutton's second straight win at LOLR gives him five checkered flags in seven starts and including a triumph in the tour opener at the same Ontario Co. Fairgrounds oval in May, the talented teen now has three CRSA victories and six top-five tallies in the seven A-Mains held.

Veteran Steve Glover jumped out early from his pole-position start before fifth-starting Paddock chased him down to take first on lap eight. Filing in 12th on the 26-car grid aboard his familiar no. 66 Tom's Auto-Big Awesome BBQ-JB Farms & Logging Eagle, Hutton moved into eighth after a pair of early cautions for Adam DePuy and Ethan Gray shuffled the line-up with just two laps complete.

While Paddock maintained a commanding lead, high-flying Hutton was picking off cars just as fast using the open outside lane. At the halfway mark of the headline 20-lapper, Paddock and Glover remained up front with Blake Warner and Hutton battling for third ahead of reigning CRSA points king Dalton Herrick. Hutton continued his methodical run as the laps clicked off, grabbing third on lap 11 before disposing of Glover the next time around leaving only Paddock on his radar.

Creeping ever closer in traffic during the closing stages, Paddock suddenly rapped the uke tire low rounding turns one and two, breaking his front-end to open the door wide for Hutton on lap 19. The restart was anti-climactic for Hutton as he charged ahead by nearly a half straightaway with Glover settling for second ahead of Herrick, Warner and Tyler Chartrand.

“If he would've kept going high in turns one and two probably wouldn't have even been a race,” figured Hutton, the '21 LOLR Rookie of the Year now with six career CRSA wins, after another frustrating finish for Paddock who crossed the line first at Canandaigua on May 27 before failing the customary post-race weight inspection.

“I was getting a wicked dig off (turn) two, it was just working good all night. My philosophy when I race things around here is keep it straight and keep it in the tacky. No point going right through the slick when there's something brown up top. Can't thank enough everybody that helps out, great support all around,” Hutton added.

The races Powdertech Powdercoating Hard Charger of the race and an additional $25 went to Hutton who passed eleven cars to get the victory. Hutton had to start twelfth by virtue of his victory at Utica-Rome Speedway on July 14. Hutton will now see that same start fate on Saturday at Fonda Speedway- another track where he boasts multiple wins.

Blake Warner took home an extra $25 as he earned the Maguire Cars “Magnificent Move of the Race” for a career-best run of fourth in the event.

The A-Verdi Storage Containers CRSA Sprints powered by Super Gen Products will now head to Fonda Speedway on Saturday July 29 for another round of the Pit Stop Convenience Stores “I-90 Pit Stop Challenge” series.

Must See Racing Engine Pro Sprint Car Series

MARNE, Mich. (July 22, 2023) – If Jimmy McCune’s Friday night Must See Racing Engine Pro Sprint Car Series win was a wild fight, his Saturday night victory at Berlin Raceway was a simple, sunset cruise.

McCune made it look easy at the seven-sixteenths-mile oval en route to scoring his second trophy in as many days. He started from the outside pole, took the lead at the outset, and never trailed in the 30-lap feature, holding off Davey Hamilton Jr. the whole way for his fourth feature win of the season.

The five-time series champion from Toledo, Ohio, weathered two caution periods and subsequent restarts before taking the checkered flag in front by 1.872 seconds.

“That was a special car, right there,” said McCune after his 42nd career Must See Racing win and third series victory at Berlin. “Kerch (Engine builder Dick Kercher) had this motor set on kill tonight. The car would do anything that I wanted or needed it to. We’ve worked our tails off trying to get this thing to run right over the past couple of months and it’s nice to see those efforts finally rewarded with the finishes this team is capable of.

“I know a lot of people might have doubted us after the rough start to the season, but we’re back where we need to be now and we’re looking forward to carrying this momentum into the last month of the tour.”

The first slowdown in the main event was for an ailing Quintin Saayman on the backstretch with nine laps complete, while the second yellow flag waved with nine laps to go after Anthony McCune spun entering turn three and smacked the inside wall with the back end of his familiar No. 8 machine.

Hamilton ran second to McCune for all 30 laps Saturday night, trying several different things in traffic in an event to get around the race-long leader, to no avail.

“Our restart speed wasn’t the best in the feature tonight,” Hamilton lamented. “We weren’t where we needed to be on the short runs, but as the laps went on we got better and better … and just didn’t need that last caution, I don’t think. We were better in traffic, but that last yellow hurt us and just got Jimmy back in the clean air where he was a little stronger than we were.

“We had nothing for him at the end, but still a really strong effort for this team and we feel like a victory this year is coming; I feel good about where our program is at.”

Series point leader Jason Blonde maintained his advantage over defending champion Charlie Schultz with a third-place finish. Mike McVetta used a pass on the final restart to claim fourth and Schultz was fifth. Polesitter Teddy Alberts faded to eighth from the top starting position in the main event.

Schultz limited the ground lost by kicking off the night with his third fast time of the season, touring Berlin’s semi-banked oval in 13.300 seconds (118.421 mph) in qualifying with his Star Customs-backed No. 9s sprint car.

Bobby Komisarski and Tommy Nichols split the first two heat race victories, while Rick Holley claimed the fully-inverted Engine Pro Fast Car Dash heat race that featured the fastest eight cars from qualifying.

The Must See Racing Engine Pro Sprint Car Series season continues back at Berlin Raceway on Aug. 12 with the tour’s third and final visit this season to the historic facility.

Gee gets 2nd 410 win at Fremont; Roepke storms from 13th to 305 win; Miller gets 2nd dirt truck victory

Saturday, July 22, 2023

By Brian Liskai

FREMONT, Ohio – Skylar Gee has taken a liking to Fremont Speedway. The Leduc Alberta Canada driver sliced his way through lapped traffic like a surgeon Saturday, July 22 to earn his second 410 sprint win of the season on Crown Battery Night.

After an caution after the first lap was completed, the rest of the 24 laps of the Fort Ball Pizza Palace 410 Sprint A-main went non-stop and Gee was able to move everywhere on the race track to pick off lapped cars to lead all 25 laps for the $4,000 payday.

“I used to hate it when it got like this here but my guys worked hard all night. We weren’t great in hot laps and qualifying but got better in the heat. I don’t have any complaints…that was a lot of fun. Felt like it was a long race but I just tried to be patient through lapped cars and keep my nose clean and see where we ended up. The last few times we’ve been here we haven’t been all that great. We made a bunch of changes and got better. I have to thank Logan and Becky for sticking with us this year. We won two off the bat and then kind of struggled here the last couple of weeks. I have to thank my dad, Jake, Kinser…everyone who supports us,” said Gee beside his Dirt Sharks Excavating, Pack Rat Dumpsters, Ohio Valley Stave, Pat Beck Motorsports backed #99.

With his second place finish Cap Henry padded his lead in the All Pro Aluminum Cylinder Heads/Kistler Racing Products 410 Attica Fremont Championship Series Presented by the Baumann Auto Group. Defending Fremont track champion Craig Mintz, Hunter Schuerenberg and Travis Philo rounded out the top five.

Elmore, Ohio’s Alvin Roepke, in only his second outing of the 2023 season, drove from his 13th starting spot in the Fremont Federal Credit Union 305 Sprint feature to the lead on lap 17 and drove away for his 12th career win at “The Track That Action Built.”

“We knocked the rust off the last time we were here. We did a couple of things to the car and went back and threw everything we had in it and I thought well if we can just make the feature we’d be alright. I didn’t think we were that good and it was like…oh we’re going to pass the leader. I have to thank my brother Danny. He’s been helping me for so long and I’m going to dedicate this win to him. Also thanks to my nephew Charlie and my wife who couldn’t be here and Barry Boss and all the race fans who hung around and watched us come from 13th,” said Roepke beside his Amplex Internet, NAPA Auto Parts, Crown Battery backed machine.

With his runner-up finish three time NAPA Auto Parts Attica Fremont Championship Series presented by Jason Dietsch Trailer Sales champion Paul Weaver will add to his series point lead. Tyler Shullick stormed from 16th to a third place finish with Bryan Sebetto and Jamie Miller rounding out the top five.

Defending Burmeister Trophy Dirt Truck track champion Jamie Miller held off a late race charge from Cory McCaughey to score his second division win of the year. Coupled with his two 305 sprint wins, Miller now has 42 career victories at Fremont.

Miller refused to budge off the bottom of the track and a caution with three laps to go allowed McCaughey to try that high line and he made it interesting at the checkers. Dana Fry, Dustin Keegan and Dan Hennig completed the top five.

“Let’s keep adding onto those win totals and hopefully we will continue to be up here at the end of the night…that’s what we all shoot for. I could hear him (McCaughey) back there and I looked up on the board to see who was behind me…I knew he would be running the top. I thought about going up there and trying it but no one was getting to me so I was just going to keep doing what I was doing,” said Miller beside his Fostoria Mod Shop, Ron Miller Race Cars backed #4M.

Fremont Speedway will be back in action Saturday, July 29 on Northern Ohio Trailer Sales with an all sprint car racing card. The AFCE 410 and 305 sprints will be joined by the Great Lakes Super Sprint 360s.

Chuck Hebring Takes URC Sprint Honors At Clinton County

Mill Hall, PA - For the second year in a row, the United Racing Club made the trek north to the Clinton County Speedway. They got snake bitten as the “Cobra” Chuck Hebing from Ontario,Ny took home his second career URC feature win, both coming at the Clinton County Fair Speedway.

The feature started out with Linden, PA Dale Schweikart and Burlington,NJ Ryan Stillwaggon on the front row. Stillwaggon would have issues getting going and 4th place starting Hebing would get around Stillwaggon for 2nd but as the field came off of turn 4 Stillwaggon would go around and collect Brandon McGough, Joe Kata, Josh Beamer, and URC Points leader Josh Weller. Everyone would return except for Weller.

On the restart Schweikart would take the lead and pull away from Hebing. Schweikart would lead for the first 10 laps till Hebing reeled him in and pulled a slider for the lead.” It was weird, this place used to be so good early. It was so good through the middle at the start of the feature.” Hebing said in victory lane. “ I didn’t think I had anything for the 78 (Schweikart). But then it shifted to the bottom and I couldn't get nowhere with the lap cars. This place is awfully racy and a lot of fun.” Hebing would go on to lead the rest of the way and collect his 3rd straight 360 win at Clinton County. Dating back to 2018.

Lap cars were playing havoc in the field once Hebing cleared Schweikart, as Hilltown,PA Adam Carberry would get around both Mikey Thompson and Derek Swartz. Carberry who started in the 8th spot would have his best run of the year and looked to be faster than Hebing for the middle part of the race but kept getting held up by the lap car of Ryan Stillwaggon. “It was tough once the lap car got between us.” Said Carberry. “ Once it became bottom dominant I couldn't get any steam to get around him. We finally stopped listening to everyone telling us what to do and started getting back to what we know and it’s been working out for us lately so hopefully we can keep it going.”

Back in the field. Mikey Thompson would fall back to the fifth spot at one point and make his way through the lap cars to find his first ever URC podium. “ I love Clinton County, '' said Thompson. “It’s a driver's track you can do about anything you want here. This is my first time on the front stretch since I was in a micro. It’s nice to have a half decent run. We’ve been struggling all year. We wasted a lot of nights to get us here.”

The Clinton County Speedway will be “off” this Friday for a Racer’s summer vacation week allowing the fair to set up for the 50th annual Clinton County Fair. The speedway returns for Friday of Fair Week on August the 4th with the Limited Late Models, Pro Stocks, 270 Micros, 4 Cyilnders and One-On-One Street Car Drag Racing – paying $500 to win.

Jade Avedisian Victorious at Southern Illinois Raceway with POWRi National Midget League/Xtreme Outlaw Midget Series

Belleville, IL. (7/22/23) Jade Avedisian would learn from the previous night’s late-race lessons to earn the return victory at Southern Illinois Raceway on Saturday Night with the POWRi National Midget League, running in conjunction with the Xtreme Outlaw Midget Series presented by Toyota, capturing her third career league victory in a thrilling thirty-lap feature.

Early on-track competition with twenty-five solid entries in the POWRi National Midget League running in conjunction with the Xtreme Outlaw Midget Series would see Zach Daum start the action off with a quick qualifying time of 10.536-second lap as Corbin Rueschenberg, Andrew Felker, and Chase McDermand each would earn heat racing wins as Cannon McIntosh would earn the semi-feature victory.

Setting the feature field would find high-point qualifier Kyle Jones roll an invert of zero during Intermission to set the front row of Jones and Andrew Felker. Competing for the prized position as the green flag flew would see Kyle Jones gaining the initial advantage on the opening lap over Taylor Reimer, Andrew Felker, Jade Avedisian, and Corbin Rueschenberg all racing inside the top five.

Hitting the halfway point of the feature caution free with Kyle Jones showing the fastest way around Southern Illinois Raceway while dealing with lap traffic, Taylor Reimer and Jade Avedisian would exchange sliders and spots for the runner-up placement as previous nights winner Zach Daum started to make his moves toward the front with Corbin Rueschenberg, Cannon McIntosh, Chase McDermand, Andrew Felker, Daniel Whitley, and Cooper Williams rounding out the running top-ten.

Late race dramatics would appear with less than ten laps remaining as the field would be bunched for a restart with eight laps remaining as Jade Avedisian would use a huge head of steam around the top side to overtake for the lead with Zach Daum following to the second spot.

Holding steady for the final eight laps, Jade Avedisian would emerge victorious in the thirty-lap feature event to earn her second feature win of 2023 with the POWRi National Midget League as Zach Daum would finish runner-up.

“Last night I couldn’t sleep after what happened, I knew he wasn’t going to the top on the restart, and I can’t thank everyone who helps with this team,” said Jade Avedisian in the Southern Illinois victory lane celebrations. Adding, “We’re going home all smiles tonight”.

Staying close for the full feature would see Taylor Reimer finalize the podium finishers with the one-time leader of twenty-two laps Kyle Jones finishing fourth as Cannon McIntosh hard-charged his way past ten other competitors to round out the POWRi National Midget League top-five finishers at Southern Illinois Raceway running in conjunction with the Xtreme Outlaw Midget Series.

Justin Sanders does it again, this time in a 360!

Alger, WA (7/21/23) – Friday night racing of the double header weekend is in the books at Skagit Speedway as the 360s got one final look at the track to fill their notebook before going into next weekend’s Bobs Burgers & Brew Summer Nationals.

The 360 Division welcomed back Dirt Cup winner Justin Sanders in a big way Friday night as he found his way to Skagit Speedway Victory Lane once again making a last lap pass of Jason Solwold to get it done. After starting fourth Sanders moved forward as the field got into lap traffic picking off spots one by one until he got into second. While Sanders was fighting his way to the front Solwold battled with Willie Croft for the lead. Croft got by pole sitter Solwold on lap one but couldn’t hold the lead as Solwold got back around him on lap 12.

Coming down to the last lap Sanders drove it hard into turn one and two got the car to stick and made the move on Solwold for the race win.

“Honestly I drove my butt off there,” Sanders said. “My body’s pretty sore I was pushing it as hard as I could. Jason [Solwold] was really fast, he could kinda run top and bottom kinda like I would...The biggest decision was that last lap going into one, I really wanted to try to rip the top but I saw Trey [Starks] come off the bottom a lap or two before and I knew he would be there so I really had to make sure if I want to the top I didn’t get tight behind one of those lap cars. I just decided to go up, I slowed a little more than he did, I think he just got a little free and I was able to sneak the bottom.”

The Northwest Focus Midgets saw a brand-new winner to the series last night, Michael Hodel got it done while leading every lap. Even though Hodel lead every lap it wasn’t smooth sailing by any means. Alex Peck and Jared Peterson were both on his tail at one point or another try to find any way around him that they could however, Hodel held them back and got the win.

The Skagit Aggregates Modified provided another late race pass for the win as Tyson Blood sent a hail Mary type pass for the lead and came out ahead of Chriss Beaulieu, and Zane Miner and into the race lead.

DALE BLANEY DOMINATES “410” SPRINT CARS FOR 2ND WIN AT SHARON; TIM BISH & CURT J. BISH SPLIT PRO STOCK FEATURES IN “NIGHT BEFORE THE NATIONALS”

July 21, 2023

By Mike Leone

(Hartford, OH)…After several hours of rain and heavy thunderstorms rolled through Thursday night, skies cleared on Friday allowing “The Night Before the Nationals” to be completed. Celebrating in the Hovis Auto & Truck Supply victory lane were Dale Blaney-Hovis Auto & Truck Supply “410” Sprint Cars, while the Gibson Insurance Agency Pro Stock features were won by Tim Bish and Curt J. Bish. A total of 71 cars were in the pits for the two-day show.

After ending a two-year winless drought on June 28, it didn’t take Dale Blaney long to return to victory lane at his home track. Blaney started on the outside pole and virtually went unchallenged to the“410” Sprint Car win in the 25-lap Hovis Auto & Truck Supply feature. Blaney earned a total of $2,700 after $2,000 from Sharon, $500 from Krill Recycling, and $200 from Barris Supply. The Blaney brothers have now won four of the seven “410” Sprint Car events this season.

The 59-year old Hartford, Ohio veteran took the Barris Supply-owned, Barris Truck Service/Atwell-Perrine Excavating/Top Shelf Trucking-sponsored #32B to his 19th career Sharon win by a commanding 4.911 seconds. Brandon Matus recorded his best Sharon finish of the season and earned an additional $300 from Krill Recycling. A.J. Flick was third and picked up an extra $200 from Krill Recycling. Sixth starting George Hobaugh was fourth over Carl Bowser. Central Pa’s Nash Ely was sixth in his first ever Sharon appearance as David Kalb, Jr., Brent Matus, Chris Verda, and Dan Kuriger completed the top 10. Heat winners were Blaney and Brandon Matus.

After winning the season opener for his first career Sharon victory, Tim Bish kicked off “The Night Before the Nationals” taking the first 20-lap Gibson Insurance Agency Pro Stocks feature worth $550. The 29-year-old Ringgold, Pa. racer rode the inside berm and exchanged the lead each of the last four laps with rim-riding Chase Lambert capping it off with a fourth corner pass for the win! Bish’s winning margin was just 0.237 seconds in his Brocious Lumber/C&L Welding/Ringgold Tire/Barber Performance-sponsored #11B. Josh Seippel was third. Chris Schneider went 10th to 4th with June 3 winner Jordan Perkins fifth. Jackson Humanic, Shaun Hooks, Bobby Whitling, Brett McDonald, and Jamie Duncan rounded out the top 10.

Two-time $10,000 “Steel Valley Pro Stock Nationals” winner, Curt J. Bish, started the weekend off winning the second 20-lap Gibson Insurance Agency Pro Stock feature worth $550. While most cars were fighting for the bottom groove, the 39-year-old Cranberry, Pa. driver ran the top to perfection from the sixth starting spot. Bish passed Andrew Gordon on lap 15 and won the drag race to the finish by just 0.106 seconds for his first win of the season and 10th of his career in the Tarr Motorsports, R.K.

CHASE JOHNSON GETS BACK TO WINNING WAYS IN WATSONVILLE ON FRIDAY NIGHT

WATSONVILLE, CALIFORNIA (July 22, 2023) – Three-time 2022 Ocean Sprints presented by Taco Bravo winner Chase Johnson of Penngrove returned to his winning ways in Watsonville, winning Friday night’s 30-lap feature for his first Ocean Speedway win of the season. Johnson made a decisive pass around the outside of Mitchell Faccinto and charged ahead to a four second advantage at the Santa Cruz County Fairgrounds.

“It was a blast. To come from eighth…it’s not an easy task to do,” Johnson said. “Watsonville provides some great racing especially in lapped traffic. Great night to do this in front of you fans. We were upside down last week and now we’re standing here.”

Hanford’s Faccinto led time trials. The dash was cancelled due to time constraints from a medical emergency in the grandstands. A redraw set the first six starters with Faccinto drawing pole for the feature event.

Suisun City teenager Chance Grasty wasted no time at the start, driving around Faccinto on the top to lead lap one. 2022 champion Kurt Nelson of Gilroy spun across the track in turn four to bring out a caution on lap three. The field avoided him and he was able to rejoin the pack.

A severe crash stopped the action on the restart. Oakley’s Dylan Bloomfield flipped and was hit hard by both Don Hart of Campo and Vince Gianotta of Hollister. Nelson and Oakdale’s Bradley Dillard suffered heavy damage as well in the accident on the backstretch. All drivers involved were uninjured.

Eighth-starting Johnson advanced to third on the ensuing restart while Castro Valley’s Jake Andreotti and Bryce Eames of Santa Maria battled behind him for fourth. Gianotta stopped on the backstretch to bring out a caution on lap nine. Bud Kaeding had advanced from 18th to ninth by that stage of the race.

Both Faccinto and Johnson overhauled Grasty from the lead on the restart, with Faccinto leading lap ten. Johnson used a few crossovers to fend off Grasty for second. Faccinto edged towards lapped traffic on lap 18 and Johnson pounced. Johnson soared around the outside to lead lap 19.

Kaeding’s march through the pack continued when he slid past Andreotti for fourth on lap 25. Johnson accumulated a four second lead at the checkered flag followed by Faccinto, Grasty, Kaeding, and Andreotti. Incoming points leader Rickey Sanders started 20th and had a trip to the work area, but still salvaged the points lead after finishing eighth.

Danny Wagner of Baypoint won a thrilling 20-lap South Bay Dwarf Car feature. San Jose’s Mark Biscardi led the first circuit with Terre Rothweiler of Santa Cruz and Wagner tucked up behind him. Wagner looked on the outside but couldn’t advance. Rothweiler did, driving inside Biscardi in turn four to lead lap nine.

Travis Day of Concord stopped in turn four with left front damage to bring out the caution. On the restart, the top-three continued to duel with crossovers and side-by-side battles. Wagner finally completed his bid for the lead on lap 15. Wagner topped Rothweiler, Biscardi, Eric Weisler of Campbell, and Trafton Chandler of Carmel Valley at the finish.

Pacheco’s Kenny Shrader returned to Watsonville and won the 20-lap IMCA Sport Modified feature. Emali VanHoff of Chowchilla led the first four laps with Watsonville’s Steven Allee in pursuit. Allee took over in turn two to lead lap five. VanHoff had a mechanical failure on the left front wheel that sent her spinning into the infield for a caution on lap six.

Shrader nabbed second from points leader Chuck Golden of Pittsburg on the restart. 2020 champion Adriane Frost of Watsonville stopped in turn four to bring out the next caution. Shrader capitalized by taking the lead on the outside of Allee on lap 15. Shrader took the checkered flag followed by Allee, Golden, Frost, and Atascadero’s Austin McMillian.

Moss Landing’s Jason Lazzerini extended his points lead by sprinting from 12th position to the win in the 20-lap Four Banger feature.

Former champion Kate Beardsley of Felton led the way while Lazzerini rocketed to third by just the fourth lap of the race. Beardsley, Peter Vannerus of Felton, and Lazzerini closed up to nearly nose to tail on lap six before Lazzerini passed them both to lead lap seven. Beardsley then put on a strong challenge on the outside to battle back but it was nullified by a caution for Ryder Greene of Prunedale spun in turn two.

Bill Beardsley of Felton and Amaya Flower of Prunedale collided and drove through the infield on the restart, eventually colliding with Charlie Cole of Watsonville in a wild incident on lap seven.

Lazzerini led the rest of the way for a commanding win. Kate Beardsley, Vannerus, Greene, and Bill Beardsley were the top-five finishers.

Bakersfield Speedway Hobby Stock points leader Tyler Irwin visited Ocean Speedway and promptly scored a clean sweep. Irwin led hot laps, won the heat race, and won the 20-lap feature. Irwin, Terry Campion of Santa Cruz, defending champion Joe Gallaher of San Jose, Shane Freeman of Prunedale, and Bobby Gallaher were the top-five finishers.

San Benito Sheriff Officer Roy Iller won the penultimate round of the 2023 Police-in-Pursuit for Special Olympics. Iller and Jackie Yeung of Capitola Police Department raced back-and-forth for the lead throughout the first half of the 15-lap race. Yeung finished second followed by Jeff Nehf, Ben Standen, and Kevin Elliott. The final round of the season is up next on Friday night for Police-in-Pursuit.

Ocean Sprints presented by Taco Bravo, Western Midget Racing, IMCA Sport Mods, and Four Bangers will also compete on Friday night July 28. For more information visit www.OceanSpeedway.com

McCune led 28 of 30 laps at the four-tenths-mile paved oval and fended off a masterful challenge from Bobby Santos III en route to victory lane.

Despite starting on the pole and dominating most of the 30-lap distance, it still took four lead changes and a one-lap dash to glory before McCune could celebrate the win for good.

A masterful dance through slower traffic saw Tyler Roahrig lead lap seven by inches and eventual runner-up Santos do the same on lap 26. Both times, McCune fought back in turn one to retake the lead the next circuit.

Then, after a final-lap spin by Davey Hamilton Jr. set up a restart and single-lap sprint to the finish, McCune pulled away and raced to victory without another thought in the moment.

“I don’t know,” admitted McCune when asked how he ended up in victory lane for the 41st time in his Must See Racing career. “Somebody had to have been riding along with me there, because Tyler and I and the lapped car we passed on the frontstretch … all I could think about was, ‘Don’t let me lose this because of a lapped car,’ and I just squeezed and didn’t lift.’

“I closed my eyes for a second … but we made it through,” he added. “Even when Santos got to me, there were a few hairy spots in the closing laps, and we just kept fighting to keep the lead and the clean air. Now that we’ve finally got the motor running well and we can focus more on the handling of this car, I’m excited to go again rather than worried about what we’re going to have. This is a big one, for sure.”

Behind McCune and Santos, Jason Blonde converted a last-lap pass into a third-place finish, maintaining a 15-point lead in the championship standings in the process.

Charlie Schultz was fourth and Rick Holley closed the top five.

Santos kicked off the program by setting fast time around the four-tenths-mile paved oval with a lap of 13.422 seconds (107.287 mph). It marked his first top qualifying effort of the season, first at Birch Run, and the ninth of his Must See Racing career.

Schultz, Hamilton and Blonde won their respective heat races prior to the main event.

The Must See Racing Engine Pro Sprint Car Series season continues Saturday night with the second of three visits this season to Berlin Raceway in Marne, Mich.

Blonde won the most recent tour visit to the seven-sixteenths-mile oval on May 20.

Cap Henry takes AFCS point lead with 2nd 410 Attica win; Shiels gets late race late model win; Weaver holds on for 305 victory

Friday, July 21, 2023

By Brian Liskai

ATTICA, Ohio – Cap Henry is a quick learner. The Republic, Ohio driver got two attempts at a restart and utilized a different strategy on the second one to take the lead in the 410 sprint feature Friday, June 21 at Attica Raceway Park and held off a late race challenge to score his second win of the year on Etna Supply/Hanson Aggregates Night.

The victory also propelled Attica’s 2020 champion into the point lead for the All Pro Aluminum Cylinder Heads/Kistler Racing Products Attica Fremont Championship Series, a title he also won in 2020.

Hunter Schuerenberg led the first 11 laps of the Callie’s Performance Products 410 Sprint feature with Henry giving chase. A caution gave Henry a shot but Schuerenberg maintained the lead. A red came out for a Travis Philo Trey Jacobs tangle before a complete lap could be scored. This time on the restart, Henry switched up and went to the bottom and drove into the lead.

Henry, aboard the Jeff Ward Demolition, Elliott’s Custom Trailers and Carts, Premier Planning Services, Tony Elliott Foundation, Primal Tee Shop, SCS Gear Box, Napa of Fremont backed machine, started to pull away from Schuerenberg who lost second to Chris Andrews with just five laps to go. Racing in lapped traffic, Andrews quickly closed and with two laps to go dove under Henry. Henry rocked off the cushion of turn four and drove to his 14th career 410 win at Attica. It is his sixth overall victory of 2023 for Jeff Ward Motorsports.

“I got lucky there…we got a couple of practice tries at it to figure out what we had to do. First slider for the first start I was a little bit cleaner and left more room and it took him a little while to get there and I was like ‘we’re pretty good.’ He switched it up there on the other restart and took the top and I knew the bottom was better. I knew as long as we were leading it off of four we’d be alright. From there it was pacing it through traffic. I thought I was doing pretty good. With a few laps to go I looked to the left and saw Chris’ nose wing I was like we need to pick the pace up a little bit and start getting with it,” said Henry. “We’re going to keep enjoying this because you never know when it will end. It’s just a lot of fun right now.”

In a barn-burner 25 lap Dirt Nerds Podcast Powered by Propane UMP Late Model feature, Devin Shiels, four time and defending Attica champion led the first four laps before Casey Noonan took over. The duo raced side by side over the next eight laps before Noonan was able to pull away slightly.

With five laps to go Shiels mounted a comeback and raced under Noonan for the lead with just three laps to go as the two sliced through traffic. Shiels drove to his second victory of the season and the 17th of his career at Attica.

“We got into some lapped traffic and I tried getting underneath them and shoving them up into his lane because he liked that middle groove. If you hit it right on the bottom you could shoot off the corner pretty good…I missed it a few times. We think we’ve figured some stuff out…it’s been awhile since we’ve been over here,” said Shiels beside his Magic Fountain Auto Wash, Rally’s Hamburgers, Dundee Products, Banshee Graphics, Salenbein Trucking & Excavating, Dirt Nerds Podcast; Banshee Graphic backed #51.

The 25 lap Fremont Fence 305 Sprint feature was marred by several early cautions. Fremont’s Paul Weaver, a six time and defending Attica champion, who has struggled uncharacteristically at the track this season, led early. Once the race got going, former champion Jamie Miller began to challenge for the lead. As the duo raced into heavy lapped traffic Bryan Sebetto also moved in to challenge.

A caution with just eight laps to go gave Weaver a clear track and he drove to his first win of the year at Attica. It is his 69th career win in the division and coupled with his three 410 sprint victories, he leads all drivers in total wins with 72 at the track.

“I’ve had some weird stuff happen here this year…not engine problems but something that made the motor not run right the first couple of nights. Then get caught up and spiking the brakes to miss hitting someone and spinning out…I thought what’s going to go wrong now with all those yellows. They should be at the end of the race so I can get a breather. I have to thank Bob Hampshire. This motor ran on the top wide open and never missed and ran perfect,” said Weaver beside his Steve Brown’s B&B Drain Service, M&L Excavating, Hampshire Racing Engines backed machine.

Jamie Miller’s second place finish keeps him atop the NAPA of Bryan Attica Fremont Championship Series presented by Jason Dietsch Trailer Sales.

Attica Raceway Park will be back in action Friday, July 28 on Ohio Truck Sales/The Adkins Group Night with the AFCS 410 sprint battling for $4,000 to win. The UMP late models and AFCS 305 Sprints ($1,200 to win presented by Griff’s Engines) will also be in action.

Zach Daum Wins at Doe Run with POWRi National Midget League/Xtreme Outlaw Midget Series

Belleville, IL. (7/21/23) Zach Daum would use experience and throttle control to earn the debut victory at Doe Run Speedway on Friday Night with the POWRi National Midget League, running in conjunction with the Xtreme Outlaw Midget Series presented by Toyota, capturing his twenty-second career league victory in an action-packed twenty-five lap feature event.

Early on-track competition with twenty-seven solid entries in the POWRi National Midget League running in conjunction with the Xtreme Outlaw Midget Series would see Joe B Miller start the action off with a track-record quick qualifying time of 11.229-second lap as Daniel Whitley, Andrew Felker, and Jade Avedisian each would earn heat racing wins as Corbin Rueschenberg would earn the semi-feature victory.

Setting the feature field would find high-point qualifier Andrew Felker roll an invert of zero during Intermission to set the front row of himself and Jade Avedisian. Competing for the prized position as the green flag flew would see Jade Avedisian gaining the initial advantage on the opening lap over Daniel Whitley, Gavin Miller, Taylor Reimer, and Andrew Felker who all raced inside the top five.

Restarting after an early lap-two caution, Daniel Whitley would slide the leading Jade Avedisian for the preferred position in turns one and two to overtake for the top spot as Gavin Miller attempted to follow with Taylor Reimer and Joe B Miller all staying within striking distances.

Returning the favor on lap nine, Avedisian would once again fly into the leading position by using momentum into turns three and four to get back by Daniel Whitley as Taylor Reimer and a quickly gaining Joe B Miller battled for the final podium placement at the one-third marker of the thirty-lap feature.

Flying past the halfway point in the main event, Jade Avedisian would continue to show the way of the field with Zach Daum racing into the runner-up spot with Daniel Whitley, Joe B Miller, Gavin Miller, Taylor Reimer, Karter Sarff, Andrew Felker, Trey Marcham, and Branigan Roark residing inside the running top-ten.

Bunching the field back together for a late-race and drama-filled restart with six laps to go, Jade Avedisian attempted to hold the top line as Zach Daum gained on a steady low-line coming to the final lap.

Using a pristine final lap high-side pass, Zach Daum would emerge victorious in the thirty-lap feature event to earn his first feature win of 2023 with the POWRi National Midget League as Jade Avedisian would finish runner-up after leading twenty-two laps.

“I had already been moving around searching for the fastest line and just kind of ran everywhere to not show my hand to Jade out front, I wanted to make my move in one swoop to not let her get back by me,” said Zach Daum in the Doe Run Missouri victory lane celebrations. Adding, “That was technical and that was fun, the throttle pedal goes both ways and sometimes you just have to finesse it through the corners. I came here and ran a micro when my dad was still driving me to the races and this place is still just as fun.”

Staying close after leading six early laps Daniel Whitley would finalize the podium finishers with Taylor Reimer tracking down the front to finish fourth as Gavin Miller rounded out the POWRi National Midget League top-five finishers at Doe Run Speedway running in conjunction with the Xtreme Outlaw Midget Series.
