Austin Wood races to initial Sprint Car victory at Placerville Speedway

By Gary Thomas

Placerville, CA…Fourteen-year-old Micro graduate Austin Wood has been nothing short of impressive during his rookie campaign at Placerville Speedway. After showing consistency all season, the Sacramento driver was able to park it in victory lane for the first time in his young Sprint Car career on Saturday night.

Sharing victory lane on Anrak Night at the Races were Cade Lewis with the USAC/BCRA Midgets, Jake Morgan with the BCRA Lightning Sprints and Nick Baldwin with the Red Hawk Casino Pure Stocks.

The 25-lap Thompson’s Family of Dealerships Winged 360 Sprint Car main event started off a little ragged, but once things got going, it was Austin Wood setting the pace over Ashton Torgerson. A multi-car incident on lap six then saw Torgerson get caught up in it, forcing him to the rear of the field.

Numerous slowdowns were seen in the feature, but Wood hit his marks on each restart. Suisun City youngster Chance Grasty gave chase after the leader and looked very strong all night long. Grasty had to fend off several challenges from Lincoln’s Tanner Carrick as the race wound down as well.

With a couple circuits remaining Grasty closed fast on Wood and made it a battle for the lead. The final lap saw the duo race nose to tail down to the checkered flag, which saw Wood edge out Grasty to claim the big win.

Carrick crossed the stripe in third, followed by point leader Andy Forsberg and 17th starter Tony Gomes, who was the Hard Charger after winning the B-main. Rounding out the top-10 were Bubba Decaires, Dustin Freitas, Camden Robustelli, Izaak Sharp and Jake Haulot.

The USAC Western States/ BCRA Midget 30-lap main event began with TJ Smith jumping out to the early lead. Tanner Carrick was doing double duty in both the Midget and Sprint Car on Saturday, and quickly found the high side to his liking.

Current USAC point leader Cade Lewis slow rolled the bottom to perfection however, as he sliced his way into the top-spot on lap eight. After that it was all Lewis up front who cruised to the Ron Stahl checkered flag ahead of Carrick, Smith, Brandon Wiley and Drake Edwards.

Fair Oaks racer Jake Morgan made a start with the BCRA Lightning Sprints on Saturday and drove to victory during their annual Tracy Taylor Memorial. Hunter Kinney stalked him every step of the way but couldn’t make the pass and settled for a runner up finish. Tyler Gerdes, Matt Land and Bradley Schmidt completed the top-five.

The Red Hawk Casino Pure Stocks continued their trend of providing exciting racing in the main event. Jason Poppert has shown speed at times this year and led the opening stages of the feature. Current runner up in the standings Kevin Jinkerson then carved his way by for the top-spot on lap seven.

Poppert stayed close however, as the action was hot and heavy throughout the pack. The complexion of the race changed when contact ensued between Jinkerson and Poppert while battling for the point on lap 17. Jinkerson ultimately came to a stop, while Poppert was put to the rear in a rough driving call.

Five-time track champ and point leader Nick Baldwin now found himself out front and he would lead the remainder for win number six on the season. Tyler Lightfoot, Wayne Trimble, Tommy Sturgeon and David Silva rounded out the top-five.

Placerville Speedway finishes off the Berco Redwood/ Hoosier Tire championship campaign with Coors Light Big Trophy Night this coming Saturday September 14th.

Sherrell wins USL thriller at Caney Valley Speedway

By John Rittenoure (SNP Photo)

CANEY, Kans. (September 7, 2024) - Saturday nights Ortco, Inc. United Spring League presented by Same Day Auto Repair main event at Caney Valley Speedway was a thriller from start to finish. Especially the finish.

Matt Sherrell passed leader Andrew Deal coming to the white flag then held him off on the final circuit around the Caney quarter-mile oval for a hard-fought victory driving the Paul Johnson 5X.

Sherrell, who just a week earlier drove from 13th to finish a very close second to Tyler Edwards in the ironman 55 at Creek County Speedway, charged from 8th starting position and was in a three car battle for the lead after just six laps.

After Ty Hulsey took the initial lead from the pole defending series champion Johnny Kent wheeled into the top spot after a lap 2 caution and Deal was right behind a lap later. Kent kept the field in check until Deal found his way around him on lap 12. With Deal out front Kent quickly found himself in a battle with Sherrell for second. The two battled wheel-to-wheel and Sherrell managed to grab second on lap 20 only to fall back to third on lap 22. On lap 25 Sherrell again passed Kent and stayed there. Sherrell reeled in Deal as the laps wound down passing him at the end of lap 29. Sherrell then held off Deal on the final circuit.

Deal was just 0.428 seconds behind at the finish with Kent settling for third. Series points leader Tim Kent held on to fourth and Danny Smith came from ninth to finish fifth.

The victory moved Sherrell to third in points behind Tim and Johnny Kent.

Justin Patocka won the Speed Stix Shocks first heat, Jimmy Forrester picked up the Kent Fireworks second heat win, and Johnny Kent topped the Morton Excavating third heat.

Jordan Thomas Gets Redemption at Weedsport

By Curtis Berleue (Weedsport, NY) | After a heartbreaking mistake while leading on the last lap the last time the Empire Super Sprints were in town back in July, Jordan Thomas was hungry for redemption as the tour returned for the finale of the ‘Cavalcade Cup’. And get redemption he did, as he led the final 15 laps en-route to a $2,000 victory.

Logan Crisafulli and Scott Kreuter would lead the field to the green flag, with Crisafulli taking the early lead down the backstretch. Kreutter followed in second, but Jordan Thomas slipped by him before the flag stand to take over the runner-up spot.

With 5 laps complete, the lead duo of Crisafulli and Thomas had opened a significant gap over the rest of the field. Joe Trenca was solidly in third, with Kreutter and Matt Tanner racing for the fourth position.

As Crisafulli worked his way through lap traffic on lap 10, Thomas used that to his advantage and was able to pull right to the tail tank of the #36. Switching his line from high to low, Thomas slid Crisafulli going into turn 3, and exited turn 4 with the lead, leading lap 12.

Working the high side of the speedway, Thomas was able to masterfully work lap traffic and extend his lead over Crisafulli. Behind Crisafulli, Larry Wight had climbed to fourth and was trying everything he could to get by the #98 of Trenca. On lap 20, Wight slid Trenca in turns 3 and 4, but Trenca was able to cross him over and defend third for the time being.

With a clear track ahead of him, Thomas crossed under the checkers first, earning his first victory of the season.

“The car was really good, it was a really technical track tonight,” said Thomas. “It really slicked up compared to what we had in the July race.”

“It feels good to get the win, we’ve got a big week of us headed into Ohsweken, a lot of money on the line and we run pretty good up there, hopefully we can bring home some money.”

Logan Crisafulli continued the momentum he has built over the second half of the season and racked up another podium finish, coming in second behind Thomas.

“I was kind of hoping lap traffic would help me a little bit there,” said Crisafulli. “He had a fast car all night though, so I’m just glad to be up here. This car has been awesome lately, hats off to my team.”

At the line, Larry Wight slipped by Joe Trenca to round out the Ashley Lynn Winery podium.

“I just needed a caution to regroup everyone,” said Wight. “I think we definitely had a second-place car, I couldn’t see the 79 to see where he was, I figure he was probably ripping the lip though.”

“This is the second race on this car, and it hasn’t finished off the podium yet so we’re happy with it.”

With 30 cars in the pits for the final night of the Cavalcade Cup weekend, the field was split into three timed hot lap groups. Rifenburg Contracting fast time awards went to Jordan Poirier, Kelsey Ivy and Matt Tanner. E&V Energy heat race wins went to Larry Wight, Chris Hile and Matt Tanner, while the Kinney’s Kar Kare Dash was won by Chase Moran. Davie Franek won the Lacaillade Masonry B-Main.

The next scheduled event for the Empire Super Sprints is the Northern Sprint Car Nationals at the Ohsweken Speedway for a non-points event. The tour’s next full points event will be on Friday September 20 at the Outlaw Speedway in Dundee, NY for the $4,000 to win Outlaw Fall Nationals.

Cap Henry claims Fremont 410 win, wraps up 3rd AFCS title; Weaver earns 3rd 305 win with Jamie Miller earning AFCS title; Valenti scores 5th truck win

Saturday, Sept. 7, 2024

By Brian Liskai

FREMONT, Ohio – Coming into the championship night, Saturday, Sept. 7 at Fremont Speedway Presented by Gill Construction for the 410 sprints All Pro Aluminum Cylinder Heads/Kistler Racing Products Attica Fremont Championship Series (AFCS) Presented by the Baumann Auto Group Cale Thomas held a slim 33 point lead over defending series champion Cap Henry. All Henry could do was win on Baumann Auto Group Night and hope for Thomas to finish out of the top 10 if he stood a chance at claiming his third AFCS title. Henry led all 30-laps Saturday to score his second win of the year at “The Track That Action Built,” while Thomas finished 12th .

It is the second straight AFCS title for Henry, the 2023 Fremont Speedway track champion, and his 20th career win at Fremont. It is the Bellevue, Ohio driver’s 7th overall victory of 2024.

Current Fremont Speedway point leader Kalib Henry finished second with Nate Dussel, Zane DeVault and DJ Foos rounding out the top five in the Fort Ball Pizza Palace 410 Sprint A-main.

“Everybody did their part on this team. That thing was just plain fast. I knew I was picking through the traffic good…I read that infield scoreboard more than I ever have in my whole career to see if my lead was building or losing. Zack (Myers, crew chief) kept telling me everything I was doing was right but I couldn’t have botched that last restart any worse if I tried. I’m just so proud of this whole team. It hasn’t been a great year compared to how we did it last year. It was a long shot to get this championship and to pull that off it says so much about everyone involved,” said Henry beside his Premier Planning Service, Jeff Ward Demolition, Ohio Logistics, Primal Tee Shop, Elliott’s Custom Trailers and Carts, FK Rod Ends, Griff’s Engines backed #33W.

Fremont, Ohio’s Paul Weaver and Vermilion, Ohio’s Tyler Shullick put on a whale of a battle for the win in the Fremont Federal Credit Union 305 Sprint A-main. Shullick lead laps 1-4 with Weaver taking over for laps five and six. Shullick regained the lead on lap seven only to see Weaver take it back a lap later and lead to lap 19. The pair raced side by side over that 12 lap battle. Shullick lead lap 20 and Weaver inched back ahead a lap later and held on for his third win of 2024 at Fremont with Dustin Stroup, Jamie Miller and Dustin Dinan rounding out the top five.

The victory is Weaver’s fourth overall victory of 2024 and the 81st of his career at Fremont to sit atop the track’s all-time win list.

“The last month it’s been nice going back to kind of normal. We struggled early this year and finally got some things figured out. I hated showing up wondering what’s going to happen next,” said Weaver beside his Steve Brown’s B&B Drain Service, Hampshire Racing Engines, M&L Excavating backed #1W.

Miller just had to make the feature to wrap up his second NAPA of Bryan AFCS Presented by Jason Dietsch Trailer Sales 305 sprint title, topping Weaver’s four consecutive years of winning the series title.

“We’ve had a very solid year…been pounding away at it getting solid finishes and hoping we can keep going and get the championship here,” said Miller who has nine 305 sprint wins in 2024, three dirt truck victories and a non-wing sprint win this season.

Jamie Miller led the first three laps of the 20-lap Burmeister Trophy Dirt Truck feature before Shawn Valenti took over. Valenti and Steve Miller ran door to door for seven straight laps before Miller suffered engine woes with two laps to go. Valenti drove away for his fifth win of the season over Jamie Miller, Dave Golembiewski, Keith Sorg and Ron Miller rounding out the top five.

The victory is the 79th career win for Valenti at Fremont Speedway, putting him second, just two behind Weaver on the All-time win list.

“We got into a pretty good rhythm there before that caution with five laps to go and I wasn’t sure how hard to push it those last couple of laps and he (Steve Miller) woke me up and got me to sit back up in the seat,” said Valenti beside his Craig Miller Trucking, Conrad Transportation, Dave Story Equipment, A Plus Auto Center, Concrete Material Supply, S&S Hauling and Excavating backed #7B.

Fremont Speedway will be back in action Friday and Saturday, Sept. 13 and 14 for the Jim Ford Classic, the richest event in the history of the track. Friday features a complete program of the Ti-22 Performance Fast on Dirt 410 Sprints, the rest of the series’ feature that was cut short due to rain in June along with double features for the dirt trucks.

Crisafulli Earns First Empire Super Sprints Win at Brewerton

By Curtis Berleue (Brewerton, NY) | After a handful of strong runs in the month of August, including a podium last weekend at Autodrome Drummond, Logan Crisafulli has finally broken through to Empire Super Sprints victory lane.

After setting Rifenburg Contracting quick time in his timed hot lap group and drawing the Pinnacle Pole, Jonathan Preston led the field to the initial green flag, but it was outside pole sitter Trevor Years who would lead the first two laps.

Preston was able to get by Years to take the lead on lap three, where he would stay for the next handful of laps. Lap 9 saw Dalton Rombough inherit the lead from Preston, with 7th starting Logan Crisafulli hot on his heels in second.

After stalking Rombough for 5 laps, Crisafulli was able to sneak by him for the lead on lap 15. While perennial Brewerton favorites Larry Wight and Danny Varin were chasing Crisafulli, they weren’t able to get past the driver of the #36 and he was able to hang on for his first Empire Super Sprints victory.

“Theres not a whole lot of brown down there (on the bottom),” said Crisafulli in victory lane. “I knew it worked, so I had to try it, and it continued to work if I hit my marks.”

“I knew I could at lead come side by side with the guys behind me out of the corner, so I knew that if they were able to get by me on the high side, I could at least try something different.”

Larry Wight came from the 12th starting spot to finish second.

“I just tried to hit my marks, hit my marks,” said Wight. “The bottom was fast, but you had to hit it right. If you missed it a little bit then you’d be spinning off, but if you could keep the car straight you could use a little throttle.”

Rounding out the Ashley Lynn Winery podium was Danny Varin.

“I just think we were too good way to early,” said Varin. “Great job by them (Crisafulli), they’ve been fast the last couple of races, just ran out of time.”

With 27 cars pit side for the first of three nights of action on the Labor Day triple header weekend, the field was broken into three timed hot lap groups to start the evening. Jonathan Preston, Jordan Thomas and Sammy Reakes IV earned Rifenburg Contracting fast time awards in their respective groups, while Davie Franek, Larry Wight and Sammy Reakes IV picked up E&V Energy heat race wins. Joe Trenca won the Cobra Coaches dash, and Chris Hile picked up the victory in the Lacaillade Masonry B-Main.

Joe Trenca Victorious at Fulton Speedway

By Curtis Berleue (Fulton, NY) | Continuing the trend of new faces in victory lane, Joe Trenca picked up the win on Saturday night with the Empire Super Sprints at the Fulton Speedway. After riding in second for the majority of the event, he passed Johnny Smith for the lead with two laps to go to secure his first win of 2024 with the Tour.

After drawing the Pinnacle Pole Award, Johnny Smith jumped out to the early lead over outside polesitter Joe Trenca. The lead duo would remain that way for the majority of the event.

While Smith and Trenca paced the field, the show was behind them as both Jason Barney and Billy VanInwegen started mid pack and were meticulously working their way through the field.

Having started 14th, Barney had worked his way permanently into the top 10 by lap 5, and on lap 11 had begun to pick off cars lap by lap, moving into the top 5 with just 3 laps remaining.

VanInwegen was writing a similar story, having started 8th, he worked his way into fifth by lap 3 and then up to fourth on lap 13.

With just two laps to go, Trenca was able to get by Smith, who had led the entire race up until that point and lead the final laps to pick up his first victory of 2024.

“I could run the bottom, and I knew my pace was really good but the lap cars didn’t work out,” said Trenca. “We ran each other clean and we got the win.”

“He (Smith) could have shut the door on me hard there and he raced me clean. I was really good through the middle, I could use the wing to try to capitalized on that (slidejob) and we did it.”

Johnny Smith was able to hold on for the runner-up position.

“Halfway through the race we lost brakes, and I knew I was getting held up by lap traffic,” said Smith. “He (Trenca) did a phenomenal job and I knew that if we got another yellow then I was going to be out of luck – I’m really happy to come home second.”

Jason Barney rounded out the Ashley Lynn Winery podium in third.

“We have enough race car, enough crew and enough engine, the driver just doesn’t always do the right things and do his job the best that he can,” said Barney. “Last night was disappointing, we just moved forward to tonight. We felt like we learned some things, or at least did some things we know worked instead of doing things that don’t.”

The field was split into three timed hot lap groups at the beginning of the night, with Billy VanInwegen, Logan Crisafulli and Danny Varin earning Rifenburg Contracting fast time awards. E&V Energy heat races were won by Jordan Poirier, Sammy Reakes IV and Jordan Thomas. The Cobra Coaches dash went to Shawn Donath.

Jock Goodyer surges to Nor*Cal Posse Shootout triumph

By Gary Thomas

Placerville, CA…After driving back from Washington on Friday in time for this weekends Nor*Cal Posse Shootout, Australian 360 Sprint Car champion Jock Goodyer put on a clinic Sunday night, scoring his initial Placerville Speedway victory.

The Launceston, TAS, Australia wheelman piloted the Kevin Kozlowski owned Works Limited No. 57w, wrenched by Paul Silva, to an $8,000 score during the 7th running of the Nor*Cal Posse Shootout presented by Berco Redwood.

Sharing victory lane on Sunday night was Roseville driver Brent Steck, who earned a $5,000 win in the High Sierra West Coast Wingless Shootout portion of the evening.

The 35-lap Winged 360 Sprint Car feature started out with Fresno’s Caeden Steele leading the opening circuit, until Goodyer made the move under him to grab the point. At that same time Steele’s car broke loose and he looped it to a stop, bringing out a caution with one lap down.

Once out front Goodyer had his way with things and withstood multiple restarts, keeping the rest of the field at bay. He went on to accept the Ron Stahl checkered flag for his first career victory in the United States.

Placerville’s own Shane Hopkins continued his fantastic season with another strong run after starting from position number 11. The driver of the High Sierra Industries No. 21 made several precision-based moves to charge forward and grab second from Monrovia, Indiana’s Justin Peck with three laps remaining.

Hopkins closed the gap slightly but couldn’t do anything with Goodyer as the race wrapped up. Lincoln’s Tanner Carrick put together a solid run and was able to nip Peck at the line to round out the podium.

After competing with Kubota High Limit Racing on Saturday at Skagit Speedway, Peck made the 13-hour drive south to compete for owner Clayton Snow. He was rewarded with a fourth-place finish, while 14th starter Chance Grasty rounded out the podium.

Completing the top 10 were Dylan Bloomfield, Cody Key, 18th starter Colby Copeland, Sean Becker and Tony Gomes. Copeland’s run from 18th to eighth netted him the $425 Hard Charger Award in memory of Davy Thomas.

A total of 31 Winged Sprint Cars returned to cap the Nor*Cal Posse Shootout presented by Berco Redwood. Caeden Steele began the evening by earning fast time with a lap of 10.714.

The High Sierra West Coast Wingless Shootout main event saw a very popular winner in the form of Brent Steck, who battled to the lead on lap six and withstood a late challenge by Shawn Jones.

Dylan Newberry jumped out front early and paced the opening laps until Steck was able to slice his way past. The bottom side was the preferred groove for the wingless warriors however, Shawn Jones gave it a try upstairs.

Picking off cars one by one the San Jose driver carved his way into second with six laps remaining and then took his shot on a restart. Jones blasted to the high side to grab the top-spot and lead lap 22. Jones then caught the cushion just hard enough though to turn the car sideways and send him over the banking for a yellow.

Steck then led the final few circuits to grab the triumph over Newberry, Saturday winner Shane Hopkins, Anthony Bruno and Heath Holdsclaw. Twenty-one Wingless Sprints returned on Sunday with Newberry setting fast time to begin the program.

Placerville Speedway now gears up for the penultimate championship point race of the season this Saturday September 7th. Anrak Night at the Races will feature the Thompson’s Dealerships Winged 360 Sprint Cars, the USAC Western States Midgets, BCRA Lightning Sprints and the Red Hawk Casino Pure Stocks.

Kofoid Outlasts Last-Lap Slider During Thriller to Capture $100,000-to-Win BillionAuto.com Huset's High Bank Nationals Presented by MENARDS at Huset's Speedway

Inside Line Promotions - BRANDON, S.D. (Sept. 1, 2024) - Michael "Buddy" Kofoid etched his name into sprint car history on Sunday night at Huset's Speedway, where he earned the $100,000 top prize after outlasting Carson Macedo in a thrilling BillionAuto.com Huset's High Bank Nationals presented by MENARDS main event.

It marked the first crown jewel triumph for Kofoid and his second career World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series victory at Huset's Speedway, where he became the 37 th different winner in 43 main events this season.

"One hundred thousand, that's a lot of money," he said. "I'm kinda at a loss for words.

"Obviously the money is good, but just to win an Outlaws race is so damn hard. If you put yourself in contention it's bound to happen."

Kofoid did just that all weekend to line up on the outside of the front row in the 40-lap feature on Myrl & Roy's Paving Night, which served as the final race of the season at the high-banked track.

Macedo, who was the high-points driver following Saturday's preliminary night, won a heat race as well as the King of the Hill to garner the pole position for the A Main. He powered into the lead on the start and held the top spot until Kofoid executed a slide job in turns three and four on Lap 24.

Macedo responded with a slide job of his own in the same corners one lap later. He and Kofoid nearly made contact, with Kofoid checking up and Macedo regaining first place. A few laps later Macedo was stuck behind a pair of cars he was attempting to lap, which allowed Kofoid to sneak by on the bottom of turns one and two on Lap 30. Kofoid quickly lapped the two drivers to build approximately a one-second advantage before the final caution of the race occurred on Lap 34.

Kofoid was smooth on the restart and again held a comfortable lead until getting to traffic on the final lap. As he dove low underneath a lapped car and slid up the track in turns three and four, Macedo made a power move, hitting the bottom and sliding across the track directly in front of Kofoid exiting turn four. Macedo's momentum guided him into the frontstretch wall as Kofoid turned slightly underneath him and won the drag race to the checkered flag by 0.223 seconds.

"Carson and I were going at it pretty good and I could pace him pretty well in traffic," he said. "We fought pretty hard and almost turned it over when he slid me. I thought that was it. I could just maneuver the bottom really well. I feel that's what kept me close to him.

"I was trying to watch the board (in the closing laps). I knew traffic was going to play a factor. I got to him a lap earlier than I wanted to. I can't even think right now. I'm glad we just won this race. Redemption from last year."

Macedo's second-place result was his fifth podium outing in his last seven races.

"I didn't know that I was going to have enough," he said of the last-lap move. "It gave me just enough of a run where I could throw a Hail Mary at it. It was definitely all I had. I knew that was the only shot I had was to bounce it off the fence and get to the line. Racing for big money is laying it all out there on the line."

Bill Balog recorded a third-place finish, which was his career-best performance during a World of Outlaws race at Huset's Speedway.

"This is huge," he said. "It's been a really good three days. It's a huge night for us. We seem to be going in the right direction with this Triple X car. I'm just super happy with tonight."

Giovanni Scelzi placed fourth and Donny Schatz was fifth.

Kofoid, Schatz and Scelzi joined Macedo as heat race winners. Christopher Thram picked up the Last Chance Showdown victory.

Cody Baker Claims Checkers at Lake Ozark Speedway with POWRi WAR

Eldon, MO. (8/31/24) Cody Baker would perfect the event by leading all twenty laps in night one of the Non-Wing Nationals presented by Start2Finish TV at Lake Ozark Speedway with the POWRi Wingless Auto Racing Sprint League to notch his second career feature victory kicking off the premier weekend event in an epic twenty lap feature.

Racing onto the quick surface of Lake Ozark Speedway, POWRi WAR would find twenty talented traditional sprinters witnessing Cody Baker set the quickest hot-lap time of 13.649-second lap as Cody Baker and Xavier Doney each earned heat racing victories.

Kick-starting the initial green flag start with high-point qualifier Xavier Doney and Cody Baker lined up in the front row as Cody Baker would gain the lead on the opening lap with Zachary Clark blasting into the runner-up spot as Xavier Doney, Anthony Nicholson, and Justin Johnson all battled inside the early top five.

Cruising to a comfortable lead, Cody Baker would set sail out front as Wesley Smith rapidly ran into the runner-up positioning early after starting deep in the field with Samuel Wagner also racing through the division after visiting the work area during the parade lap.

Driving into a battle for the lead, Wesley Smith would jump the cushion out of turn four to relinquish multiple spots as Zachary Clark, Anthony Nicholson, Jack Wagner, and Samuel Wagner all battled closely inside the contending group of drivers.

Never wavering, Cody Baker would emerge victorious with the POWRi WAR Sprint League at Lake Ozark Speedway to notch his first yearly league victory. Staying in the hunt and hard-charging towards the front, Wesley Smith would recover to finish runner-up after starting sixteenth as point leader Samuel Wagner completed the final podium placements.

“I knew Wesley would be coming towards the front, I just didn’t expect him that quickly” said victorious Cody Baker in the Eldon Missouri victory lane celebrations. Adding, “I was a little worried in the late restart so I loosed all my shocks and just stood on it.”

Challenging closely behind would find Anthony Nicholson finish fourth as defending champion Jack Wagner rounded out the top five finishers for the POWRi WAR at Lake Ozark Speedway on Night One of the Non-Wing Nationals.

Kameron Key Pilots to POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprints Victory at Lake Ozark Speedway

Eldon, MO. (8/31/24) Kameron Key would set sail and lead the final seventeen laps with the POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprint in Night One of the POWRi Triple Sprint Showdown presented by Start2Finish TV to notch his second league victory and pocket the $5K-payday in an outstanding feature event at Lake Ozark Speedway.

Flying onto the smooth surface with twenty-seven talented entrants of the POWRi 410’s would see Xavier Doney set a quick qualifying time of 11.648-second lap with Kameron Key, Joe B Miller, and Sterling Cling each earning heat racing victories.

Captivating the crowd on the initial green flag start with high-point qualifier Xavier Doney and Kameron Key lined up in the front row as Xavier Doney would gain the lead on the opening lap with Kameron Key, Miles Paulus, Joe B Miller, and Ayrton Gennetten all raced within the top five.

Leading by nearly a three second advantage over the first nine laps, Xavier Doney would appear to be in the head of the class only to jump the cushion in turn two ending his night with wall contact as Kameron Key inherited the lead after the caution.

Protecting the front of the field in a very technical track, Kameron Key would never flinch with the lead over the final seventeen laps with Joe B Miller and Ayrton Gennetten keeping close throughout the middle of the race.

Holding steady over a last race restart, Kameron Key would not be denied in earning his first seasonal POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprint victory in an action-packed main event with Derek Hagar hustling into the runner-up position late after starting twelfth.

“I haven’t been getting a lot of calls this summer to drive so I am very thankful to the McGarry family for the opportunity and their continued support,” said Kameron Key in the Eldon Missouri victory lane ceremony celebrations. Adding, “I had to act like more of a reserved racer tonight knowing that I would be better at around 80% then I would be running all out, tonight it really paid off to be patient”.

Challenging closely behind would find point leader Ayrton Gennetten placing on the final podium placement from the starting sixth on the initial green flag. Miles Paulus would be among the frontrunners all feature to fourth as Bryce Norris would round out the top-five finishers for the POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprints Night One of the POWRi Triple Sprint Showdown presented by Start2Finish at Lake Ozark Speedway.

Willie Croft strikes for victory on night one of the Nor*Cal Posse Shootout

By Gary Thomas

Placerville, CA…Making the final Placerville Speedway starts of his career this weekend, Colfax driver Willie Croft proceeded to make it count by racing to victory on opening night of the Nor*Cal Posse Shootout presented by Berco Redwood.

Sharing victory lane on Saturday during the High Sierra West Coast Wingless Shootout portion of the night was Placerville’s own Shane Hopkins.

The 30-lap Winged 360 Sprint Car finale began with Roseville’s Colby Copeland putting the Van Lare Steering Repair No. 5v out front. Dash winner Croft stalked his every move however, as close battles were seen all throughout the field.

The complexion of the race then changed on lap 11 though, as the yellow flag waved for a car slowing down the back stretch. Unfortunately for Copeland, heartbreak city occurred when he got upside down in turn three along with Ryan Rocha while avoiding the slowing car. Both drivers were okay but done for the night.

Croft now found himself out front with Modesto’s Tony Gomes moving into the runner up spot. Several movers and shakers were seen in the main event, including Shane Hopkins, who charged from 16th to third by lap 12.

Gomes kept leader Croft withing his sights and at one point, made the move to slide in front of him entering turn three. The veteran driver stayed poised though and sliced back to his inside, maintaining the point.

A final caution then occurred with three circuits remaining. On the restart Croft blasted away from the pack to accept the Ron Stahl checkered flag aboard his Grinders Automotive/ Rudeen Racing No. 29. It marked his fifth career Winged 360 Sprint Car triumph at Placerville Speedway, ironically tying him with Gomes and fellow veteran Jimmy Trulli, who also wraps up his driving career this season.

Gomes crossed the stripe in second, with Hopkins finishing off a stellar run from row eight to round out the podium.

Hanford’s Michael Faccinto arguably had the run of the night though. After winning the B-main, the driver of the F&F Racing x1 rocketed through the field in aggressive fashion to finish in fourth place after starting from 21st. Redding’s Max Mittry also capped a solid night by rounding out the top-five.

Completing the top-10 on opening night of the Nor*Cal Posse Shootout presented by Berco Redwood were Lincoln’s Tanner Carrick, Australian Jock Goodyear, Suisun City’s Chance Grasty, Dunnigan’s Luke Hayes and El Cajon’s Braden Chiaramonte.

A total of 37 Winged Sprint Cars competed on Saturday. Yuba City’s Seth Standley earned his first career Placerville fast time award to open the night with a lap of 10.650.

The 25-lap main event for the High Sierra West Coast Wingless Shootout started out with Roseville’s Josh Young climbing into the lead. Young had earlier set fast time and captured his heat as he worked on a clean sweep of the evening.

Several stoppages were seen in the feature, which never allowed drivers to get into a constant flow. Shane Hopkins though had found something through the middle of the speedway and began to march his way forward. The 30-year-old took over second on lap eight and then came after the leader.

After hounding Young for the top-spot Hopkins took command on lap 12 and never looked back. The driver of the Cliften & Warren Feed/ MP Operations No. 21 pulled away for his fourth career Wingless Sprint Car win at Placerville Speedway.

Young, DJ Johnson, Brent Steck, Dylan Newberry, Eathon Lanfri, Peter Paulson, Tyler Cato, Shannon Newton and Josh Gillis rounded out the top-10.

It's Willison Again In Must See Sprint Battle At Owosso

OVID, Mich. (Aug. 31, 2024) – There’s just something about Owosso Speedway that Canadian hotshoe Aaron Willison has found to his liking in the Must See Racing Sprint Car Series presented by Perfit.

The Langley, British Columbia veteran and current National Pavement Sprint Car Rankings leader drove from ninth to first in a dicey 40-lap feature Saturday night at the three-eighths-mile oval, notching his second series win of the year and completing a season sweep of MSR events at Owosso.

Willison surgically picked his way up seven positions to second in the first 11 laps, then ate into early leader Jason Blonde’s advantage at the front of the field.

A near-two-second lead was erased in a matter of moments, and Willison made what turned out to be the race-winning pass with an outside-inside cross in turn three on lap 18.

From there, Willison checked out, opening up a gap of more than five seconds before fellow Canadian Ryan Litt found his way to second with 13 laps left.

Litt knocked two seconds off the deficit, but it was a caution with six to go – after Florida’s J.J. Dutton spun in turn two – that truly gave the field one quick chance at dethroning Willison’s dominance.

Willison chose the inside lane for the lone restart of the night, and surged away on the green flag as teenager Colton Bettis scrapped for second with Litt behind him.

That brief battle allowed Willison to pull away to a .949-second victory in owner Dick Myers’ familiar, red-and-yellow No. 50m sprinter.

“To roll [forward] from ninth like we did, Dick Myers and the crew had the RAM Engineering (No.) 50m rolling tonight. That baby was really, really good,” he said in victory lane. “Four-ten sprint cars on three-eighths miles are my jam. We’ve got a three-eighths [track] at the Evergreen State Fairgrounds in Monroe, Washington, that I’m really good at. I just like the rhythm of those tracks because they’re a great size for these cars.

“Places like here at Owosso are just big enough we can get up and move around, but they’re not too big that [the racing] gets all strung out. Awesome, awesome facility and I had a lot of fun out there.”

Making the night extra special were the different historical threads that intersected in the final laps also.

Willison’s triumph marked the 50th win for Myers since taking ownership of the iconic ‘Mopar Missile,’ a mark that few pavement sprint car teams anywhere in the country have been able to reach.

In a feat of longevity, Myers has done so all with the same car, affectionately known as Seabiscuit.

The veteran leader will also be inducted into the Michigan Motorsports Hall of Fame in October, making the fact that such a milestone happened at a Michigan racetrack all the more fitting.

“It’s just such an honor that Dick lets me drive this race car,” Willison noted. “Everyone in sprint car racing knows this (No.) 50 car and to give Dick his 50th win with it … that’s something as a driver I’ll remember for a long time.”

Bettis, the standout 14-year-old from Lutz, Fla., matched his MSR career-best after passing Litt for second place during the final restart.

Though he got to the runner-up spot on lap 35, Bettis said he just didn’t have enough on the short run to be able to keep pace with Willison at the end.

“I think if I would’ve figured out passing a little bit better, we would’ve definitely been a hundred times better getting through there and giving ourselves a shot. Toward the end, I started figuring it out a little bit, but Aaron had a rocket ship out there. He’s the best in the country right now and he proved why in that one.”

Litt completed the podium after having no practice laps all day due to slowdowns getting across the American-Canadian border en route to the racetrack.

Ohio’s Kevin Mingus was fourth after starting from the pole, and retook second in the point standings as a result of his efforts. He was just ahead of 2022 series champion Charlie Schultz in fifth.

Series point leader Joe Liguori finished sixth and extended his championship advantage, unofficially, to 52 points with one race remaining. Blonde faded to eighth with a worn out right-rear tire after leading the first 17 laps.

Willison’s fast lap during qualifying was 12.773 seconds (105.692 mph) and netted him a $500 bonus. Blonde and Dorman Snyder dominated their respective eight-lap heat races prior to the main event.

The Must See Racing Sprint Car Series season culminates with the season finale Friday night, Sept. 13 at Birch Run (Mich.) Speedway and Event Center. Liguori is in command as he looks to close out the points race and capture the season championship.

The results:

ILLINOIS SWEEP!

GRANT REIGNS AT Du QUOIN’S TED HORN “98”

By: Richie Murray – USAC Media

Du Quoin, Illinois (August 31, 2024)………After standing atop the leader board in practice, qualifying and the 100-mile race two weeks earlier at the Springfield Mile, there was only one way that Justin Grant could top himself. Yet he did.

On Saturday’s 70th running of the Ted Horn 100 at the Du Quoin State Fairgrounds in southern Illinois, it was “second verse, same as the first” for the Ione, Calif. native and his Hemelgarn Racing/NOS Energy Drink – Super Fitness – Hemelgarn Enterprises/DRC/Speedway Chevy.

After pacing the field in practice, Honest Abe Roofing Qualifying and the main event at Du Quoin, Grant stamped himself into the record books once more as the 23rd driver to win champ car races under the AAA and/or USAC banner at both one-mile Illinois dirt tracks in a single season.

On that particular list, Grant joined Tony Bettenhausen (1951), Sam Hanks (1953), Jimmy Bryan (1955-56), Johnny Thomson (1958), A.J. Foyt (1964 & 1967), Al Unser (1970), Mario Andretti (1973-74), Gary Bettenhausen (1983), Jack Hewitt (1986-87-93), Chuck Gurney (1989-94-96), Paul White (2001), J.J. Yeley (2002), Tracy Hines (2006), Brian Tyler (2008) and Chris Windom (2018).

“It’s awfully, awfully special,” Grant exclaimed. “To sweep the miles, and to have my name on a list with names like that, is incredible. Sometimes it feels like I’ve written mine on there with a crayon. But I’m starting to get a little more used to the feeling and I’m certainly liking it.”

Despite starting from the pole, Grant fell back to second in the early stages before chasing down and overtaking Logan Seavey on lap 32, then going on to lead the remaining 69 laps and capture his second consecutive Ted Horn 100 victory, the first driver to achieve such a repeat triumphantly at Du Quoin since Shane Cockrum in 2014 and 2015.

Despite completing 98 percent of the laps, Grant had 100 percent of the field covered in what was his third-straight dirt mile victory with the series, the longest stretch of success by any driver since Kody Swanson scored four consecutive on the mile dirt tracks between 2014 and 2015.

Furthermore, Grant is now the first driver since Tracy Hines in 2006 to win the pole and the race at both Illinois dirt miles in the same season. Grant’s seventh career USAC Silver Crown score also elevated him to 17th on the all-time win list alongside fellow series champions Jerry Coons Jr., Rick Hood and George Snider. In the process, Grant cut his championship point deficit behind Kody Swanson to just 12 after maximizing his output by gaining 76 at Du Quoin.

In what turned out to be the first rain-shortened USAC Silver Crown race at Du Quoin since the 1974 edition 50 years ago, weather was imminent throughout much of the day. That aspect, in addition to all of the other necessities of successfully navigating the scheduled 100-mile distance, weighed heavily on Grant’s gameplan.

“We raced with the rain in mind all day,” Grant revealed. “I pushed a little harder early and through the middle section of the race than I wanted to. But with what we had for the weather all day, we worked really hard to make sure we were quick time in hot laps in case we rained out qualifying, so we could get those points and start on the pole. We approached the race a little bit like, ‘hey, we might have rain toward the second half of this thing. Let’s not save it all for the last restart.’”

Much of the first half was marred by accidents that led to a Ted Horn 100 record five red flag periods, all of which each driver walked away from. Don Droud Jr., making his USAC Silver Crown debut, was the first such victim on lap seven after his right front spindle broke while running 11th, sending him straight into the outside turn one wall before flipping over.

Jimmy Light was next in line to find misfortune on lap 15 when he suddenly slowed in turn two while running 15th, which sent him skating up the racetrack right into the path of Brady Bacon who collided with him, resulting in Light impacting the wall and flipping over. Beforehand, Bacon was required to start at the tail after going to a backup car due to a transmission failure with his primary ride.

It was 22nd running Danny Long’s turn next as he banged the outside wall exiting turn four and flipped over on lap 27. Danny Jennings did the same in turn three, making his mark on the turn three wall before flipping several times in his rude introduction to the Du Quoin mile.

As far as the “almost” incidents, Grant nearly had one in his pursuit of Seavey for the lead on lap 23. After nearly getting into the back of Seavey’s rear bumper, Grant turned his wheel left, right, left as he swerved to avoid blasting Seavey. The close call proved costly in the short term as Grant saw a one car length deficit balloon to eight car lengths. However, it came within a whisker of ending his day prematurely.

“I got down in there and I had to jump on the brakes late,” Grant recalled. “I had the left front down in the dust and the right front in the rubber and it hooked me back right. I was facing the wrong way! I thought, ‘oh boy, we’ve really done it here.’ I was really fortunate to get away with that one and regroup and have another shot at (Seavey).”

Once Grant gathered himself, he quickly found his footing again and slid past Seavey on the bottom of turn one on lap 33 to place himself in the race lead. Seavey fought back by cutting under Grant between the long sweeping turns of one and two to retake it, albeit briefly. Grant had the last word as he powered back around the outside of Seavey exiting turn two to take over the top spot, and for good.

“I felt like I could make a lot of right rear grip and stay really straight where guys were having to slide their cars, so I could run a really good pace and keep my right rear tire under me and that allowed me to make that move there,” Grant recounted. “I was able to dive in, get across him and still make enough grip out of the rubber to come back to it and stay with him. We were able to hold him down off two. These things on a mile with the fuel load take a minute to get wound up. It’s not like a sprint car where you can just fire down to the other end. You keep them where they can’t get back to the throttle quite as quick as quickly as they want to. When his motor bogs, you can roll up off there and beat him down to three.”

Kody Swanson soon slotted into the second position on lap 42 after sweeping around the outside of Seavey on the back straight. Grant possessed a 1.6 second lead at the time, but Swanson, a two-time winner of the Ted Horn in his own right in 2010 and 2017, soon made it a contest as he clamped down on Grant throughout the second half of the show.

“In these things, you want to lead them if you can,” Grant explained. “If you feel like you can get there at a decent pace, that’s kind of what you want to do because you can control the race a little bit. Kody was really good there at the end, but we had track position, and we could make a lot of roll speed through the center.”

Rookie drivers had their share of the headlines around the midway point of the race and beyond. Saban Bibent, making just his second career series start, entered the top four by the 50th circuit. Meanwhile, fellow Rookie Briggs Danner was surging, making his way into third past Seavey on lap 65.

Ultimately, heartbreak bit Bibent on lap 88 while running fifth as he entered turn one without brakes, nearly colliding with the concrete perimeter between turns one and two. Moments later, he dropped low and pulled in, ending a memorable run with an 18th place result.

Tire wear became the next issue at hand on lap 90 when fifth running C.J. Leary fell by the wayside with a flat right rear tire, which necessitated a caution. At the very same moment, seventh running Chase Stockon’s right rear went kaput as did eighth running Shane Cockrum’s, sidelining three of the top seven in one fell swoop.

Mitchel Moles, running fourth with five miles to go, had his best Silver Crown run to date come to an end when he ran out of fuel and stopped on the main straightaway.

As the field prepared to face a green-white-checkered restart to decide the finish of the race, Mother Nature had other plans. As the rain continued to fall, cars were ultimately called into the pits. After a delay and an attempt at working in the dirt, it became clear that the race would not be able to continue. It was estimated that an hour would be required to get the track surface back into raceable shape. However, with a deadline to complete the race within a certain timeframe looming (due to preparations for a concert taking place on the stage at the track), the race was deemed complete with Justin Grant the victor over Kody Swanson, Briggs Danner, Jerry Coons Jr. and Logan Seavey.

For Kody Swanson (Kingsburg, Calif.), the driver of the Doran-Binks Racing/Mission Foods – Wilke Orthodontics – Glenn Farms/Maxim/Hampshire Chevy, it was his best result at Du Quoin since winning in 2017.

Meanwhile, Briggs Danner (Allentown, Pa.) recorded his best career result in his Rookie year with the USAC Silver Crown series, starting and finishing third aboard his DMW Motorsports/Fuel Mart – Power Control Systems – Advanced Materials Technologies/DRC/R07 Chevy.

Chris Fetter (Troy, Mo.) raced from 22nd to 10th to earn hard charger honors along with his best career USAC Silver Crown finish. His performance occurred exactly 10 years to the day of his first USAC start on August 31, 2014, also at Du Quoin.

It was the feel good story of the day. Jerry Coons Jr. (Tucson, Ariz.) finished fourth in his 23rd career Ted Horn 100 start at Du Quoin. It also came in the Bateman Racing team's final Du Quoin start where they competed in their first race in 1982. For his 11th to 4th run on this special, but bittersweet day for the Murphysboro, Ill. based team, Coons earned honors as the Inferno Armor Fire Move of the Day.

Macedo Charges to BillionAuto.com Huset's High Bank Nationals Presented by MENARDS Preliminary Win and High-Point Honors During Ace Ready Mix Night at Huset's Speedway

Inside Line Promotions - BRANDON, S.D. (Aug. 31, 2024) - Carson Macedo executed a late-race slide job to capture the BillionAuto.com Huset's High Bank Nationals presented by MENARDS preliminary night triumph on Saturday at Huset's Speedway.

Macedo's charge from eighth to win on Ace Ready Mix Night was his second career World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series victory at the high-banked track. It also set him up well as the high-points driver entering the $100,000-to-win event finale on Sunday.

"It feels good to have a lot speed here," he said. "That was fun. It feels good to win, but it's really cool when you win it from eighth like that."

Macedo was the third of three different leaders during the 35-lap main event. Hunter Schuerenberg led the first four laps before Chase Randall took over the top spot with a slide job in turn two on a restart on Lap 5.

A caution on Lap 11 for a spin by Scott Winters was followed by a caution two laps later when fifth-running Scott Bogucki got sideways and collected seventh-running Sheldon Haudenschild. Macedo had climbed into the top five by that point and drove into the runner-up position on Lap 23. The final caution came out on Lap 28 when fifth-running Schuerenberg stopped after contact with Giovanni Scelzi in turn three, setting up the final restart of the race.

Randall rocketed away on the restart, but traffic with three laps remaining allowed Macedo to close to Randall's rear bumper. One lap later, Macedo used a slide job in turn two to narrowly clear Randall for the top spot. Randall went for a slide job of his own in turns three and four, but Macedo's momentum against the cushion prevailed and he led the final two circuits to win by 0.534 seconds.

"That caution helped a lot," Macedo said. "I don't think we would have ever got to him without that restart there. We got to lapped traffic really quick there. And then the lapped cars were all over the place. I felt like I was in the cat bird's seat. Sometimes it's better to be running second in those situations."

Randall, who was going after his first career World of Outlaws win, settled for a career-best second-place showing.

"We were really, really close to getting one tonight," he said. "I think there's a couple of little things I could have done different."

Donny Schatz rounded out the podium, marking a much better outing than the previous night when he was involved in a wild heat race crash that ended his night early.

"We kind of tightened up there," he said. "It felt rolled over the whole time. We have to try to fix that if we're going to try to win this race tomorrow night."

Buddy Kofoid hustled from 17 th to fourth and Bill Balog charged from 16 th to fifth.

Emerson Axsom and Aaron Reutzel each set quick time to lead their qualifying groups. The heat races were won by Schatz, Kaleb Johnson, Randall and Bogucki. Brendan Mullen posted the C Main victory and Winters topped the Last Chance Showdown.

The BillionAuto.com Huset's High Bank Nationals presented by MENARDS concludes on Sunday during Myrl & Roy's Paving Night when the World of Outlaws feature winner will earn a whopping $100,000. The main gates open at 4 p.m. with hot laps slated for 7 p.m.

Haudenschild and Chaney Capture Victories at Huset's Speedway During Huset's Hustle Presented by Folkens Brothers Trucking; Zebell Earns Track Championship

Inside Line Promotions - BRANDON, S.D. (Aug. 30, 2024) - Sheldon Haudenschild and Mike Chaney both pocketed a big payday at Huset's Speedway on Friday night during the Huset's Hustle presented by Folkens Brothers Trucking.

Haudenschild topped a thrilling World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series main event to score the $25,000 top prize. Chaney made the most of his first career Nordstrom's Automotive Late Model Street Stocks win at the track during the $5,000-to-win feature - the biggest payout in division history.

Additionally, the final track champion of the season was determined as J.J. Zebell captured the Nordstrom's Automotive Late Model Street Stocks title for the first time in his career.

Emerson Axsom held the top spot for the first 22 laps of the 35-lap World of Outlaws main event, but Haudenschild was all over him as the duo diced through traffic. Haudenschild executed a slide job into turn three to take the lead on Lap 23, but Axsom returned the favor by hitting the bottom groove perfectly in turns one and two on the ensuing lap. He pulled in front of Haudenschild to regain the lead entering turn three. The lone caution of the race came out on the next lap as the drivers were side by side.

Haudenschild powered into the lead for good in turn two on the restart with 11 laps remaining and held off a late charge from Buddy Kofoid for his third career World of Outlaws victory at Huset's Speedway.

"(Axsom) was doing a great job," said Haudenschild, who has produced a podium result in his last five World of Outlaws races. "I feel like we got him in traffic and was probably a little nice and he got back by us. I didn't really know what to expect on that restart. I'm really surprised he didn't rip the top and I was able to get around him."

Kofoid's second-place showing from the ninth starting position marked his third straight podium run.

"I was able to chase people down in dirty air," he said. "Every time we come here I feel we're exceptionally good. I was able to run Sheldon down, but I kinda ran out of time. It's nice to know we have good speed, good enough speed to win. We'll see if we can be one spot better and hopefully get some redemption on Sunday."

Axsom recorded a third-place result to tie his career-best World of Outlaws outing.

"I hate it for my guys, to be in position and kinda give one away there," he said. "It's hard to out-Haud Haud. I feel our stuff is good for the next couple of nights. We just gotta tweak on it a little and I can do a better job in some places."

Garet Williamson placed fourth and Ryan Timms ended fifth.

Timms and Haudenschild topped their qualifying groups. The heat races were won by Logan Schuchart, Kaleb Johnson, Axsom and Williamson. Justin Henderson drove to the C Main triumph and Mark Dobmeier was the Last Chance Showdown winner.

Chaney led the distance of the Nordstrom's Automotive Late Model Street Stocks A Main, which was scheduled for 25 laps but added an extra one thanks to a caution on the final scheduled circuit, setting up a green-white-checkered restart.

"It feels pretty damn good," he said. "I've been fighting this car all year. On the start the shifter broke so I was stuck in high gear the whole time. I didn't need that last yellow. I was kinda nervous."

Six cautions, including one on the final scheduled lap, bunched the field together numerous times and kept Chaney out of traffic. He was efficient running the bottom groove lap after lap and produced a solid launch on the green-white-checkered restart to win by 0.449 seconds.

Garet Deboer was the runner up, garnering his best result at the track this season.

"It's been a great night," he said. "We're getting better every week with this car."

Cory Yeigh advanced from eighth to third, posting his sixth podium of the season at the dirt oval.

"Congrats to Mike and Garet," he said. "It was a heck of a race."

Zebell scored a fourth-place finish despite an ill-handling race car to garner the track title.

"It feels pretty damn awesome," he said. "It's been a long time coming. We broke halfway through there and I was just hanging on."

Matt Steuerwald rounded out the top five.

Yeigh set quick time during qualifying before Steuerwald, Zach Olivier and Chaney earned heat race wins.

The racing weekend continues at Huset's Speedway on Saturday when the World of Outlaws kicks off the BillionAuto.com Huset's High Bank Nationals presented by MENARDS with a $15,000-to-win program during Ace Ready Mix Night. The main gates open at 4 p.m. with hot laps at 7 p.m.

Cap Henry a bridesmaid no longer, takes FAST win to open Attica Ambush

Friday, Aug. 30, 2024

By Brian Liskai

ATTICA, Ohio – Cap Henry has finished second at Attica Raceway Park the last three straight races. The defending track champion was able to take the lead with just five laps to go Friday, Aug. 30 on Great Lakes Truck Centers/Murphy Tractor & Equipment Night and drove to his fourth win of the year at “Ohio’s Finest Racing” speed plant to open the Attica Ambush with the Ti-22 Performance FAST On Dirt Series.

The last five laps of the 40-lap, $6,000-to-win affair were chaotic to say the least. Henry took the lead from Brandon Spithaler on lap 35 right before a caution. Spithaler had taken the lead on lap seven when leader Zeth Sabo ran over a tire from a flipping Creed Kemenah. When the green flew with four laps to go Spithaler and Cale Thomas collided while battling for second, collecting Zane DeVault necessitating a fuel stop. When the green flew Henry, from Bellevue, Ohio, drove away for his 20th career 410 sprint car win at Attica. It was his sixth overall victory of 2024. Greg Wilson drove from 14th to second with Kalib Henry earning third over DJ Foos and Trey Jacobs.

“Our game plan the whole time was we knew we had to be tight and be good the last 10 and not the first 10 like we have been the last four or five times. Zack (Myers, crew chief) has probably never heard me yell so much because we’ve lost so many. I was nervous those last four laps. My guys told me what I was doing was right. Zack tweaked on that thing during the open red and it felt pretty good. Shout out to my guys…they just kept working on it,” said Henry beside his Premier Planning Services, Jeff Ward Demolition, Ohio Logistics, Primal Tee Shop, Elliott’s Custom Trailers and Carts, FK Rod Ends, Griff’s Engines backed #33W.

For Wilson, who won last weekend with the IRA, coming from 14th starting spot, nearly repeated that at Attica.

“Hate to whine…I was pissed the way the track was all night and it made a fool out of me. It slicked off so that you could move around and thank goodness my wife and my girls and Nick Daugherty worked hard and I didn’t feel like it was right to give up. Can’t thank Attica Raceway Park and the fans enough. This place is really cool and when you run good you know you’ve done something. The guys that run here have gotten really, really good over the last couple of years,” said Wilson beside his Hercules Tires, Ohio Logistics, DNC Hydraulics, Heitmeyer Concrete backed #W20.

California driver Kalib Henry ran among the top five the last two thirds of the feature and held on for a podium finish.

“Glad to have some speed back. I want to apologized to Greg. I was racing in the rear view there quite a bit and I hopefully didn’t bug him too much. I hate racing like that. I was just kind of hanging on for dear life. Jim and Rebecca back home, and Kevin for busing his tail to get another car back together after our crash at Knoxville. Want to say hi and get well to Chase Johnson back home…I don’t know if he’s watching this or not but my heart’s out for you and I hope you get better soon,” said Henry beside his Running Boxer Farms, Harris Distributing, Valvoline Oil backed #101.

In the Whistle Stop Presents the Dirt Nerds Podcast Powered by Propane UMP Late Model feature, Mansfield, Ohio’s Kyle Moore put on a dominating performance, leading all 25 laps and at times had over a four second lead. He would take his sixth Attica win of the year and his 18th overall victory of 2024. Doug Drown, Todd Brennan, Ryan Markham and Mike Bores rounded out the top five.

“I have a lot of confidence in myself. I know what I can do. It’s making everything line up and making it happen is two different things. Ty Tworg…I’m telling you right now, I don’t know what these boys are waiting for but they better make a phone call to that guy and get a car. Otherwise it’s going to be a long year again next year,” said Moore beside his Kepling Flooring, Tye Tworg Longhorn, Joyride Transportation, Smitley Towing, Short Stop, Malcuit Race Engines, Wilson Realty, Robin Jakubick, RL Bond Septic, Hepthorn Golf Cart Sales, House of Spud, K&B Septic Service, Coffman Composites, Team Midwest Paint, Platinum Design backed #1*.

Attica Raceway Park will be back in action Saturday, Aug. 31 for another $6,000 to win 410 sprint car feature with the Fremont Fence 305 Sprints going for $1,200 to win.

HUSET'S SPEEDWAY -

Huset's Speedway is a dirt oval located in Brandon, S.D. The track opened in 1954 and has undergone a large renovation within the last few years, making it a premier destination for both marquee racing events and weekly programs.

Timms, Jansen and Ferguson Victorious at Huset's Speedway During The Bull Haulers Brawl Championship Night for Sprint Cars Presented by Folkens Brothers Trucking on Royal River Casino Night

Inside Line Promotions - BRANDON, S.D. (Aug. 25, 2024) - Ryan Timms, Jared Jansen and Brandon Ferguson cashed in on Sunday at Huset's Speedway, which hosted Royal River Casino Night featuring The Bull Haulers Brawl Championship Night for Sprint Cars presented by Folkens Brothers Trucking.

All three drivers reached the top step on the podium on a night when Kaleb Johnson (Cressman Sanitation 410 Outlaw Sprint Cars) and Brady Donnohue (Wyffels Hybrids RaceSaver Sprint Car Series) captured their first career track championships at the high-banked oval.

"I'm proud of my guys," Johnson said. "They busted their butts each and every week not only here but across the Midwest. We're just out here having fun and making memories."

"It's pretty surreal," Donnohue said. "I didn't have this on my goals for this year. I'm just tickled to death."

Andy Pake led the first six laps of the 25-lap, $7,000-to-win Cressman Sanitation 410 Outlaw Sprint Cars main event before Timms pounced in traffic. Aaron Reutzel was all over Pake in the battle for the lead amidst traffic, but it was Timms who rocketed by both drivers down the backstretch on Lap 7.

Timms set a torrid pace for the remainder of the race, winning by 2.034 seconds. It was his second victory of the season at the dirt track.

"There at the start we were really loose," he said. "I got my wing back. Reutzel had got by me at that point. We got into lapped traffic and it was slowing their pace up quite a bit. All of a sudden I was driving by both of them down the backstretch. The car was amazing."

Reutzel executed a slide job for the top spot on a restart on Lap 17, but Timms turned his car underneath Reutzel exiting turn four to maintain the lead. Reutzel's runner-up result was his best outing at Huset's Speedway this year.

"I don't think I got the car where I needed it tonight and I don't think I did a good job of driving," he said. "I had one shot at him, but it was such a Hail Mary that he had all the time to turn down. I gave it my all, just once again it wasn't meant to be. It was a cowboy-up track. Traffic was fun. All in all, it was a good night. I wish I was one spot better, but we'll just have to take it."

Dusty Zomer placed third for his best finish of the season at the track.

"Tonight the track was real heavy so everyone was going to be fast," he said. "Starting sixth, we'll take a podium out of it."

Kerry Madsen was the fourth-place finisher and Pake ended fifth.

Reutzel set quick time during qualifying to open the program before Pake, Brendan Mullen, Brant O'Banion and Justin Henderson produced heat race wins. Tyler Drueke was the B Main winner.

Jansen led all 20 laps to score his first career Wyffels Hybrids RaceSaver Sprint Car Series at Huset's Speedway, where he became the 10 th different winner in 10 division races this season.

"I've been waiting for this one for a long time," he said. "We've been doing this for darn near 20 years and hadn't won one here."

Dan Carsrud, John Lambertz, 16th-starting Shayle Bade and 11th-starting Zach Patterson rounded out the top five, respectively.

Lambertz, Lee Goos Jr., Jeremiah Jordahl and Carsrud were the heat race winners. Gaige Weldon picked up the B Main win.

Ferguson led the distance of the Nordstrom's Automotive Late Model Street Stocks main event for his first win of the season at Huset's Speedway. He became the seventh different winner in the division this year.

"It's been a terrible year and on this hot day I second guessed even wanting to come out," he said. "I'm so glad we did."

A trio of cautions in the second half of the feature bunched the field together, but Ferguson hit his marks consistently to win by 0.777 seconds.

Kinzer Glanzer finished second with points leader J.J. Zebell advancing from ninth to third. Garet Deboer placed fourth and 11th-starting Matt Steuerwald maneuvered to fifth.

The heat races were won by Ferguson, Tracy Halouska and Craig Hanisch.

The 2024 racing season at Huset's Speedway wraps up next weekend with a special three nights of action featuring the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series. On Friday, it's the Huset's Hustle presented by Folkens Brothers Trucking featuring the World of Outlaws and the final Nordstrom's Automotive Late Model Street Stocks race of the season. The World of Outlaws will return to the high-banked track on Saturday and Sunday for the BillionAuto.com Huset's High Bank Nationals presented by MENARDS.

King Scores in Ryder Memorial for BRP at Tri City Raceway Park; Spithaler, Wolbert, and Fielding also Prevail; Point Champions Named

(Franklin, PA August 25, 2024): The Rick and Rob Ryder Memorial was held at Tri City Raceway Park. It marked the first showdown between the BRP Modified Tour and the 21st Century Energy Group Modifieds. Getting the win at the end of forty laps, and $4,018 plus contingencies, was Rex King, Jr. This makes him the odds-on favorite in the double feature program that will be held over the Labor Day weekend.

Also picking up victories were Brandon Spithaler (Krill Recycling 410 Sprint Cars), Chas Wolbert (RUSH Modifieds), and Pat Fielding (Hovis Auto & Truck Supply Pro Stocks).

In addition, seasonal championships were announced for A.J. Flick (Krill Recycling 410 Sprint Cars, Chad Reitz (21st Century Energy Group Modifieds), Rod Laskey (Hovis Auto & Truck Supply Pro Stocks), and John Mollick (4 Your Car Connection RUSH Sprint Cars).

King received the pole position in the re-draw. Next to him was Dr. Brad Rapp. Shannon Whaley and Jim Rasey were in row two, with Shawn Kosar and Will Thomas lined up in the third row. Row four belonged to Chas Wolbert, who was doing double duty, and Garrett Krummert. In row five, Mike Kinney was paired up with Erick Rudolph. Hayden Holden and Peter Britten made up row six.

Rapp got the edge entering turn one on the opening lap, and he cleared King coming off turn two. Rasey, Thomas, Rudolph, and Kozar followed. Rapp set a brisk pace in the opening laps, and King also separated himself from the battle for third between Rasey and Krummert.

A caution on lap nine for Colton Walters bunched the field back up again. However, Rapp was up to the task and he maintained his lead over King. Krummert secured third with Rasey, Rudolph, Thomas and Britten trailing.

After the race passed the quarter mark, King powered off turn two to take the lead from Rapp. They continued as the leaders, with Krummert and Rudolph battling for the third position. Britten moved into fifth by the time the field saw the crossed flags.

On lap twenty-five, a two car tangle involving Kyle Fink and Steve Feder in turn two required a red flag for the clean-up. At that time, King led Krummert, Rapp, Britten, Rudolph, and Thomas.

After the race resumed, Britten advanced to second. A caution for Ayden Cipriano halted the action on lap thirty-four.

It took a couple of tries to get the race going again. On the second try, Britten spun in two and collected Rapp, moving Krummert up to second for the restart.

Nonetheless, King resumed his lead over Krummert. Thomas raced along in third, followed by Tyler Willard and Rudolph.

A flagman’s caution on lap thirty-eight slowed the pace one last time. The culprit was Rasey, who was facing oncoming traffic but nevertheless managed to keep the car moving. Thus, he was awarded his position again despite the miscue.

King had the point for the single file restart and he completed the final two circuits without incident. Krummert took second, with Willard, Thomas, and Rasey in the top five. Rudolph, Wolbert, Dave Murdick, Whaley, and Kinney completed the top ten.

The BRP Modified Tour squared off against the 21st Century Energy Group Modifieds in four heat races. The checkers fell for Rex King, Jr., Chas Wolbert, Garrett Krummert, and Peter Britten. The B Main winner was Jeff Miller. Colton Walters captured the Dash.

In the Krill Recycling 410 Sprint Cars, Brandon Spithaler drew the pole, with Matt Farnham by his side. Chase Metheney and Bob Felmlee were in row two, followed by Dusty Larson and Mark Smith. Dale Blaney and last week’s winner, A.J. Flick made up row four. Jack Sodeman, Jr. and Michael Bauer occupied row five, with Jazlyn Boyles and Andy Cavanaugh in row six.

Farnham fought off Spithaler on the opening lap, with Felmlee, Metheney, Flick, Smith, and Sodeman racing ahead of Larson and Bauer. Larson brought out the first caution, on lap two.

Farnham retained the lead on the restart, but Spithaler was persistent. He searched high and low for an opportunity to pass, but nothing materialized. A caution for Boyles on lap seven bunched the field back up again.

Once again, Farnham raced out front under the green, but Spithaler was even more determined. He finally got by Farnham near the halfway mark. In the second half of the contest, Spithaler pulled away with ease. He did slack off a bit when he encountered lapped traffic, but his lead was so substantial that Farnham could not challenge for the win.

Spithaler took the checkers ahead of Farnham, Blaney, Flick, and Smith. Felmlee, Sodeman, Metheney, Bauer, and Michael Lutz, Jr. rounded out the top ten.

The pair of heat races for the Krill Recycling Sprint Cars went to A.J. Flick and Matt Farnham. There was no B Main.

In the RUSH Sportsmen Modifieds, Kole Holden jumped from second on the grid to lead the opening lap. He was scored ahead of Chas Wolbert and the pole man, J.C. Boyer. Ayden Cipriano and Brandon Ritchey followed.

A caution eight laps in for Troy McGregor bunched the field up, but Holden moved out to the lead again when the green lights came on. Four laps later, Wolbert powered ahead coming off turn two and he led the rest of the way to collect the win.

Wolbert, Cipriano, Holden, Karston King, and Ritchey made up the top five. Logen Lockhart, Todd English, Aaron Mulrouney, McGregor, and Boyer were the final finishers.

The pair of RUSH Sportsmen Modified heat races were won by Chas Wolbert and Kole Holden. There was no B Main.

Pat Fielding used the pole position to stake himself to an early lead in the Hovis Auto & Truck Supply Pro Stock finale for the night. Rod Laskey raced from third to the lead several laps into the contest, but he spun on his own while leading to end his chances for the win.

Fielding was back in control for the restart and he completed the remaining laps without interference. Jason Black, Andrew Hammond, Russ Coyne, and Doug Iorio, II, completed the top five. Cody Koteles, aaron Smith, Dale Tuche, Ron Boardman, and Tony Spaghetti completed the top ten.

SEASON LONG EFFORTS PAY OFF FOR WAGNER, MOORE, MARKHAM, COLLINS, AND TUCKE

By William Burkhart

Caleb Helms would make a return to Wayne County and start on the pole of the 25 lap Pine Tree Towing and Recovery Feature with points leader Leyton Wagner to his outside. Helms would jump out to the early lead. Wagner and Tyler Gunn in second and third respectively. Wagner would make a few efforts to get past Helms. He would try a slider on lap 4 but would slip and let the 91 of Gunn get by him. 17 to go Tyler Gunn would slide past the 40x of Helms and take over the lead. Gunn would slice and dice his way through lap traffic. Jordan Ryan would enter the mix on lap 13 to try and steal the track championship. Lap 15 Caleb Helms would eliminate the 8 tenth of a second lead that Tyler Gunn had to steal the lead back. Gunn would stay within half of a second of the Findlay Ohio Native. As hard as he would try Gunn couldn’t catch the 40 of Helms as he wins his first Wayne County feature in 2024 in his first visit. Tyler Gunn would be second and Leyton Wagner would finish third to collect his first Wayne County Speedway Track Championship.

Millersburg’s Mitch Caskey and Mansfield’s Dave Hornikel would lead the field to the green for the Malcuit Tavern UMP Late Models. Kyle Moore who had the championship clinched was offered to start 12th for a shot at a $500 bonus if he could win and excepted Jason’s challenge. Hornikel would jump up to the top side and take the opening lead. Coming around for lap 2 the field would get stacked up and bring out the first Bucks Auto Sales Yellow Flag of the evening. Back under the green Hornikel would get back to work. Moore would drive his Tye Twarog longhorn up to the second spot by lap 5. As he would catch the back of Hornikel another yellow would fly for Trace Settles spinning in turn 4. Back under the Green Moore would rip the lip and take over the lead. Behind them JR Gentry would make his way into the 6th spot after starting in the 16th position. Moore would run away with the race. As the laps ticked by Gentry would find his way into the third sport. Moore would open up close to a 6 second lead. As he came around to the checkers one car would spin setting up a one lap dash. With Nathan Loney on his tail Moore would run away from the field to pick up his 11th WCS win of 2024 and his first Malcuits Tavern UMP Late Model Championship. JR Gentry would sneak by Loney to go 16th to 2nd and Loney would take third.

The top 2 in Flynn’s Tire & Auto Service UMP Modifieds would make up the top to starting positions. Jimmy Humphrey would start on the pole with Ryan Markham to his outside. Markham would duke it out with Humphrey before getting by him at the flag stand on the opening lap. Markham would rip the lip with Jess Hartman behind him. Ryan Robey would spin in turn in 4 to bring out the first Bucks Auto Sales Yellow Flag of modified competition. Back under green flag action Markham would lead the field with Hartman all over his back bumper. Lap 5 would see another yellow for the Hood coming up on Daniel Sanchez’s machine. Back under green it would be a lot of the same story with Markham leading and Hartman in a very close battle. After another yellow we went back under the green with Markham still holding on to the lead. Hartman would try some big slider jobs to try and take over the lead. Lap 12 Casey Butler and Dustin Daugherty would get up to the 5 of Hartman. When it looked as if Markham would have the race in the bag a Yellow would fly once more for a spinning Ron Miller. Markham would choose the top side and get a great restart in the 2-lap shootout. Hartman would try slide job after slide job. On the last lap going into turn three Markham would tag the wall allowing Hartman to get along side him. The two would drag race to the line and Markham would beat Hartman by a 10th of a second to win the feature and his first Flynn’s Tire &Auto Service UMP Late Model Championship.

Johnny Bruce and Kyle Petit would lead the Joyride Transport field to the green for 12 laps. Justin Cranmore would jump out the early lead with Johnny Bruce running in second and points leader Anthony Collins in third. Yellow would fly for debris on lap 3. A few yellows would slow up action before Cranmore would lead the field to some green flag laps. Doug Hensel would find his way into the second spot and work on getting past the 2 machine with Anthony Collins behind him. Cranmore would stick to his line. Despite all efforts Hensel couldn’t by as Cranmore would pick up his 4th win of 2024 as third place finisher Anthony Collins would pick up his first career track championship.

Braden Tucke would start on the pole for the Glass House Super Stock feature with Kyle Moore to his outside for 15 laps of racing. Tucke would jump out to the early lead with Moore in hot pursuit. Tucke would run the middle line with Moore right around the wall. The two would run away from the field before Jim Nicley would spin to bring the Bucks Auto Sales yellow flag. Back under way the two would go back to their huge lead over the field. Moore and Tucke would duke it out until Moore would take the lead from Tucke with 5 laps to go. Moore would cruise off to the victory as Braden Tucke would win back to back championships in the Glass House Super Stocks.

Up next at Orrville's Historic Oval, Sunday September 1, the Pete Jacobs Memorial, $10,000 to win FAST on Dirt Sprints, along with Malcuit Tavern UMP Late Models, Flynn's Tire & Auto Service UMP Modifieds, and the Glass House Super Stocks.

Jason Barney Scores $3,000 at Autodrome Granby

By Curtis Berleue (Granby, QC) | On the first night of a two-night trip to Quebec for the Empire Super Sprints, it was Jason Barney sitting in victory lane. Worth $3,000, it was Barneys first victory at the Granby, Quebec track and his third win overall of 2024 on the tour.

Pinnacle Pole Award winner Logan Crisafulli jumped out to the lead on the initial green, though the field failed to complete a lap as the red flew for a flipping Matt Tanner in turns three and four.

On the restart, Crisafulli again jumped out to the lead, this time with Jason Barney in tow, moving up from his third starting position.

As the lap counter clicked 5 laps complete, Crisafulli had opened up a nearly two second advantage over Barney and third place Jordan Poirier. He would hold that lead until the second red of the even flew on lap 15, this time for Davie Franek who flipped after catching the inside wall in turns one and two.

When action resumed, Crisafulli’s night abruptly came to an end as he made contact with Barney entering turn one, bringing out another caution.

On the ensuing restart, Barney was able to quickly open a lead over Shawn Donath and Jordan Poirier, who were battling for second. With 5 laps remaining, Poirier took sole possession of second place as Donath began to slip backwards.

While Joe Trenca was able to get by Donath for third with three laps remaining, nobody had anything for the #87 of Barney, who picked up his third win of 2024.

“This isn’t exactly one I’m too proud of,” said Barney in victory lane. “I completely wiped Matt (Tanner) out, I just went in the corner on the start and had no brakes. I couldn’t feel any worse for him right now.”

“Logan, I thought I had position on him, I didn’t know he was there. Just not how I wanted to win a race. I feel bad for everybody.”

Jordan Poirier came home second, and Joe Trenca rounded out they Ashley Lynn Winery podium finishing in third.

In front of a packed house, the field was split into two timed hot lap groups with Logan Crisafulli and Matt Tanner earning Rifenburg Contracting fast time awards. E&V heat race wins went to Danny Varin and Jordan Poirer.

Jordan Poirier Picks Up Empire Super Sprints Win at Drummond

By Curtis Berleue (Drummondville, QC) | After years of trying, Jordan Poirier is finally an Empire Super Sprints winner in his home province of Quebec. The two time and defending champion has been close to a win in Quebec multiple times, and on Saturday night all of the stars aligned for Poirier as he picked up $3,000 for his efforts.

Bryan Cloutier was the Pinnacle Pole Award winner, and as such brought the field to green alongside of Alex Bergeron. Cloutier jumped out to the early lead and paced the field for the first eleven laps.

Behind Cloutier, Bergeron was holding steady in second with Logan Crisafulli in third, having a solid run for the second night in a row.

Quebec native and current points leader Jordan Poirier started in fifth and had slowly been picking off cars, moving into the top three on lap 6, and then getting by Bergeron for second on lap 7.

By lap 11, Poirier had the lead and never looked back, crossing the line first and picking up his first ESS win in his native province of Quebec.

“Tonight was somewhat of a dream,” said Poirier. “Tonight, everything was just going our way. We had a really good car at the beginning, felt good and that restart we were able to just get away.”

“It was so good to win in front of a crazy crowd like that.”

Logan Crisafulli came home second, a career best ESS finish for him.

“We found our way up, the engine wasn’t right the whole night,” said Crisafulli. “I just tried to keep going and going, and luckily is lasted the whole race.”

Shawn Donath rounded out the Ashley Lynn Winery podium in third.

“Solid finish again tonight, third from seventh – the car was fast,” said Donath. “The 21 car changed his line the last lap, which helped us. Overall the car was great. We were good last night and then it broke. Tonight we were able to pick up where we left off.”

The field was split into three timed hot lap groups at the beginning of the night, with Jordan Poirier, Matt Tanner and Joe Trenca earning Rifenburg Contracting fast time awards. E&V Heat races were won by Jordan Porier, Alex Therrien and Joe Trenca.

Before the A-Main, Autodrome Drummond honored 8-time ESS Champion Steve Porier for his accomplishments in both a modified and sprint car. In addition to being tied for the most ESS Championships, Poirier is also the winningest driver in tour history with 77 wins.

Saturdays event at Drummond was the final event of the Coffrage 4 Saisons Canada Tour. Jordan Poirier is the 2024 tour champion.

NIENHISER FENDS OFF NEUMAN FOR MACON MOWA WIN
August 24, 2024 - Paul Nienhiser added another MOWA Sprint Car Series victory
to his resume on Saturday night, earning his second-career victory at the ⅕-mile
oval tying five-time series champion Jerrod Hull and the late Terry Babb.
Nienhiser started fourth in the 25-lap affair but knew that his #9X machine would
be in contention by the end. As the green flag fell over the field, a caution
happened just as quick as Corbin Gurley’s feature run ended before it began as
the left-front wheel broke completely away from the car, resulting in a DNF. On
the first attempt of starting the A-Main as the field powered down the backstretch,
Nienhiser had pulled alongside front-row starter Luke Verardi but had to revert
back to his original starting spot.
On the restart, polesitter Tyler Duff surged ahead and held command over the
field as the battle ensued behind him. Nienhiser was battling with Brayton Lynch
and Luke Veradi in the top three in the early stages of the A-Main. A yellow flag
for Zach Daum slowed the field once more and allowed Verardi and Nienhiser to
have Tyler Duff within reach. When the field returned to green flag conditions,
Nienhiser put his #9X on the top shelf of Macon Speedway and muscled his way
around Duff to take over the point. A yellow flag as the race neared the midpoint,
for Joel Myers that collected Brayton Lynch, Cory Bruns, and Joey Moughan
again bunched the field up. Myers, aboard the Hayward Motorsports #19
became the driver to watch, coming from the back of the field and quickly back
into the top five as laps continued to wind down. Nienhiser’s lead over the field
was starting to shrink as he worked into lapped traffic. Jake Neuman had worked
his way to second in the closing laps and pulled to Nienhsier’s rear bumper but
wasn’t able to overtake the Chapin, Illinois driver who made a last lap move past
Brayton Lynch to put a car between he and Neuman. Exiting turn two on the final
lap, Neuman worked past Lynch and came within striking distance but couldn’t
capitalize, as NIenhiser crossed under the checkers first. Jake Nueman finished
second with Joel Myers, Jr third, John Barnard fourth, and Kameron Key in fifth.
The finish:
A Feature 1 (25 Laps): 1. 9X-Paul Nienhiser[4]; 2. 3N-Jake Neuman[7]; 3. 19-Joel Myers Jr[9]; 4.
B8-John Barnard[14]; 5. 31K-Kameron Key[5]; 6. 9-Tyler Duff[1]; 7. 6R-Ryan Bunton[12]; 8.

FLICK FLIES TO OVER $8,000 IN GILLILAND MEMORIAL WEST PA SPRINT CAR CHAMPIONSHIP; CIPRIANO WINS $1771 IN PRIESTER 602 CRATE MEMORIAL; V.JONES WINS 305s AND TITLE; HALEY EARNS 1st MINI STOCK WIN.

By Jim Balentine
(Mercer,Pa)

On a special Friday night lights, Michaels Mercer Raceway presented one of the biggest shows in their 73 year history on a beautiful late summer evening as fans packed the speedway for the running of the Jeff Gilliland Memorial Western Pennsylvania 410 sprint car championship presented by FASTonDIRT as well as the Al Priester memorial 602 crate modified event. 96 cars graced the pit area for the four division event.

The FASTonDIRT Western Pennsylvania sprint card championship race was held in memory of Jeff Gilliland who passed away at just 50 years old
Jeff loved the races, especially sprint cars. His grandfather Richard Hawley as well as Jeff's 2 uncles, Lloyd Hawley and Vern Hawley, and his cousin, Jimmy Hawley were all race car drivers locally.

For the $8000 to win Jeff Gilliland memorial West Pa. Sprint car championship feature twin state auto racing club hall of famers Jimmy Hawley and Gary Edwards would pace the 22 car field whittled down from the 32 cars in the pit area. Conner Morrell and Logan McCandless would lead the 30 lapper to green. Morrell would take the lead at the start but the race would go yellow as last years winner Bob Felmlee would spin up in turn 2. On the restart Morrell would again lead the way with AJ Flick driving the Bernie Steubgen #71 following in 2nd

The steel city outlaw Tim Shaffer making a rare Mercer appearance would be racing McCandless for 3rd before a yellow would fly again. Morrell would then again have a 1.7 second lead over Flick but on lap 10 Flick would go to the high side in turn 2 to take the lead. On lap 14 Zane DeVault would scrape the concrete wall on the frontstretch ending his night. Dale Blaney who started in 10th would methodically work his way through the pack moving up to fifth by lap 15.

McCandless would then start to challenge Shaffer for 3rd after a restart. Flick would open up a 3.1 second advantage over Morrell as the laps were winding down. 20 time Mercer winner Jack Sodeman Jr. would be holding strong running in 4th early in the race trying to catch Shaffer but as the laps were winding down Sodeman would fall back and with 3 laps to go would smack the inside tire in turn 3 ending his night. With the laps being run and with the accident a fuel stop was necessary. When the race resumed Flick would again take off and would pick up his biggest payday ever winning over $8,500 defeating Morrell by 1.885. McCandless would finish 3rd, Dale Blaney would get around Shaffer for 4th on lap 23 and Shaffer 5th.

A jubilant Flick would say “this is frickin’ awesome!!! these guys busted their butt for me tonight and owner Bernie (Steubgen) dialed it in and I am beyond thankful. The track widened out like I thought and I knew if I was in the lead they would have to come back to me. Bernie called me and asked me if I wanted to drive the #71 this week and I was so excited and everyone had to calm me down. Conner was ripping the top and I was around the bottom and I stayed on the bottom and into lapped traffic and I was able to complete the pass and stay out front. This is and blessing and special!! I’ve known Jimmy Hawley since I was young when I was moving up from street stocks I went to him for help and he gave me good advice and tonight he parked next to me and he came over and wished me good luck and was concerned about me when this night was about his family. The entire family is so important to racing and I hope I made them proud tonight!!

For the Al Priester memorial for the 602 crate modifieds 23 cars would take the green flag for a chance at $1771 to win. Don Cornelius and Al’s son Gage Priester would start on the front row with Priester leading the way for the first 8 laps. Ayden Cipriano would follow behind Priester until lap 9 when Cipriano made the winning move and would start to pull away.. but multiple cautions would bunch up the field. Brian Schaffer, Jeff Schaffer Sr., and Garrett Krummert who started 21st would battle throughout the field for 3rd,4th and 5th until Krummert took over 3rd on lap 11 and then would get around Priester for 2nd on lap 15 setting his sights on Cipriano. With the extended green flag session Cipriano was able to pull away and defeat Krummert by 3.18 seconds at the end collecting $1771 in his highest payday to date and his 4th career crate modified Mercer feature. Jeff Schaffer Sr was able to get around Priester for third on lap 19 and Cole Edwards was 5th. In the final point total leader Eric Gabany finished in 7th and was able to hold off Schaffer Sr. by 13 points to claim his 1st crate modified crown and his 2nd overall title. Cipriano would say , “it means a lot to win the Al Priester memorial especially when this is where it all started for me when I was 7 and I’ve run in all these divisions here and now that I’m in college I hope that I can race while I’m there and keep running in these and more big block modified races!”

The Racesaver 305 sprints would determine a track champion as well and it wouldn’t be decided until the checkered fell. Former champion Jarrett Rosencrance would start on the pole and lead the first 9 laps until 5th starting Vivian Jones would be able to get around for the lead. Veteran Andy Priest who started 11th would be up to 2nd by lap 15 getting around Rosencrance and set his sights on Jones. Nolan Groves would run the best race he has had at Mercer running a solid 3rd and 4th most of race also got around Rosencrance on lap 16. Rosencrance fell to 4th and James Pattock was 5th. Point leader Jake Gomola finished 8th and with the win by Jones catapulted Jones into the track championship by just one point!!! Andy Priest finished just 7 points behind in 3rd. A happy Vivian would say “it’s been such a great and emotional night!!it’s an honor to win in front of this huge crowd this is awesome!! We’ve been really good on the bottom and I was on it with the adjustments we made and it felt good!”

Devin Haley after being a bridesmaid so many times finishing in second finally got the monkey off his back and picked up his first career Mercer mini stock feature win worth $400 after winning his career first previously this season. The 2 top point men Carl Ealy and Corey Bice would start on the front row of the 22 car field but 4th starting Haley would take control immediately and lead all 15 laps. A red on lap 4 for a barrell roll by Linwood Thorne would halt the action. Thorne was ok. After the restart Corey Bice, Chaz Smith and Carl Ealy would swap positions back and forth but Smith would hold on to second after lap 7 to finish .870 behind Haley in his best finish. Bice would finish 3rd and Ealy fell to 4th with Chuck Davis 5th. Ealy would hang on to win the track championship by just 5 points over Haley while Bice would be 12 points behind. Haley would say, “I can’t believe it !! They say it’s hard to win your first one and then it’s easy and we are here!! I’m super pumped we had a rough start to the year but now we are here!! with the open rules it’s fair and it’s allowed us to win!”

WESTBROOK, COSTA, BEAGLE, AND ELSLIGER TAKE CHRISTMAS IN AUGUST WINS AT OHSWEKEN

Article Credit: Brent Otchere

OHSWEKEN, Ont. (August 23, 2024) – Pinewood Horticultural Services and Ontario Agra presented Christmas in August at Ohsweken Speedway on Friday; Dylan Westbrook, Jesse Costa, Ryan Beagle, and Jeff Elsliger took A-Main wins.

Kool Kidz-Corr/Pak 360 Sprint Cars
Liam Martin and D.J. Christie brought the 25 car field to the green flag for the 360 Sprint Car A-Main. Martin set the pace, leading the opening laps of the race and encountering traffic in just six laps. Christie brought out the red flag on lap seven with a violent solo flip off the track in turn three. Christie immediately pulled himself out of the wreck unharmed.

The restart saw Dylan Westbrook get the better of Martin and take the lead away. Unlike other times when Westbrook has taken the lead this season, he had to fight off a challenge for the win as Nick Sheridan proved to be a real threat. Sheridan was wheel-to-wheel with Westbrook in the closing stages of the race, but ultimately Westbrook was able to edge out Sheridan after a late restart and pull away for the win.

The triumph was a milestone for Westbrook, as it was his 40th A-Main victory in 360 Sprint Car competition at Ohsweken. Josh Hansen was able to squeak by Sheridan for second, while Sheridan settled for the final podium spot. Rounding out the top five were Martin and Matt Farnham.

Strickland’s Crate Sprint Cars
Brian Nanticoke started on pole with Al Sleight next to him for the 20 lap Crate Sprint Car A-Main. Nanticoke led the opening laps with Brett Stratford hot on his heels. The one and only caution flag came out when Keegan Baker came to a stop in turn one. Nanticoke was able to hold off the hard-charging Stratford initially after the restart, however Stratford overtook for the lead on lap eleven.

Once Stratford got the clean air, the handling went away for him and allowed Jesse Costa to close the gap. Costa took the lead in heavy traffic with seven laps to go and knifed through more traffic to lock down the win. The win was Costa’s 10th career Crate Sprint Car victory at Ohsweken and moved him into a tie with Ryan Hunsinger and Holly Porter for second on the all-time win list. Stratford was able to salvage a second place finish, with Brent Begolo finishing a close third. Steve Murdock finished in fourth, and Andrew Hennessy closed out the top five.

Middleport Mechanical Thunder Stocks
Logan Ferguson started on pole alongside Scott McPhail to take the green flag for the 20 lap Thunder Stock A-Main. Ferguson was only able to hold his pole position for a single lap as Donny Lampman found himself leading by lap two. Lap three saw a caution flag, allowing Ryan Dinning to become the third leader of the race after a superb restart. Dinning’s lead was cut short due to another caution, which allowed Zach Bleich to take over out front after the restart.

The racing began to heat up as the leaders were racing five wide, displaying their talent and car control. The spectacular racing came to a halt when a red flag was thrown due to Kyle Andress hitting the inside wall in turn four and barrel rolling. Andress was unharmed in the accident. The closing laps had a three-way battle for the lead between Ryan Beagle, Adam Plazek, and Dave Bailey. A late restart saw Beagle get the better of his competition and take his 18th career Thunder Stock win at Ohsweken. Next to cross the line were Bailey in second, Plazek third, Ron Loggie fourth, and Bleich fifth.

HRW Automotive Mini Stocks
The front row of the grid featured Nick Erskine and Jeff Elsliger to begin the 15 lap Mini Stock A-Main. Elsliger proved to be the one to beat at the drop of the green flag, easily putting over a one second gap on the field. Fabio Olivieri came to a stop on lap five, bringing out the caution flag. Elsliger stood tall to the task, leading again after the restart.

Ken Hair tried to set up an overtake on Elsliger, but his efforts were thwarted by an untimely caution when Olivieri stopped on the track again. Elsliger timed the restart perfectly with just three laps to go, managing to lead every lap and take his fourth career Mini Stock win at Ohsweken. Following Elsliger were Hair in second, Tim DeBoer third, Nick Erskine fourth, and Alex Riley fifth.

Up Next at Ohsweken Speedway
I.L.A Sports and Brant County Tire present Back to School Back Pack Night on Friday, August 30, featuring the Kool Kidz-Corr/Pak 360 Sprint Cars, Middleport Mechanical Thunder Stocks, and HRW Automotive Mini Stocks. Visit www.ohswekenspeedway.ca for more information.

MARATHON:Tyler Ross scores second URC Win of 2024 and Cuts the Points Lead to 5 after a War of Attrition at Big Diamond

Written by Bert Wojcik

Every now and again you get a race that sets the entire season on its head and throws the biggest wrench into what might have been a near sure thing. That was Big Diamond on Friday night. The United Racing Club made its 38th appearance at the Schuylkill county 3/8th mile oval for its last race in Pennsylvania for the 2024 season. After what felt like a marathon, Lincoln University’s Tyler Ross scored his second URC win of the season and is now within 5 points of Josh Weller with 2 races left in 2024.
The feature started with Seth Schnoke and Cody Fletcher on the front row. The highside was the place to be as Cody Fletcher would take the early lead and lead the first lap. Coming to complete the 2nd lap Kyle Smith would explode a right rear and caution would wave. This is where the shenanigans would begin. On the restart. Cody Fletcher fired too early and would get sent back a row for a jump start. That would move JT Ferry to the front row and he would choose the high side to take the lead. Caution would then fly as Jake Galloway would bring out the caution. On the restart would see Ferry get around Schnoke. And some hot and heavy racing was happening behind them. Tyler Ross would find his way around Schnoke for the 2nd spot.

Fletcher would hit a yuke tire and would fall back before calling it a night with a broken front end. We would stay green when current URC Points leader Josh Weller would catch the wall going into turn one and go upside down. He would be uninjured. On the restart Ross would get around Ferry on the restart and complete the lap but the caution would fly immediately as Schnoke’s right nose wing panel would come off in the racing line by the flag stand.

On the restart Ross would get the lead and pull away from Ferry. Jordan Thomas was all over the back side of Ferry. He would hold him off for the moment as Ross pulled away. The night would go from bad to worse for Schnoke after losing the left front nose wing panel and he would come to a stop on the front stretch and call it a night.

On the restart. Thomas would get around Ferry. Then Brett Wanner would get a run to get around Ferry. Ferry would send it in too hard into turn 3 and spin out into the turn 3 wall doing some damage to the rear end of the car calling it a night. That would trigger an open red.
Restart would come out with 8 laps to go. Wanner would try to close on Thomas on the restart but couldn't get around him as Thomas would close in but couldn’t make the pass. He would close in on Ross but caution would come out. An awful night for 2nd in points Reese Nowotarski would get even worse as he would lose his second motor of the night. The broke a camshaft in hot laps and missed the heat race. Now with 5 laps to go the 2nd motor would expire on the 10x of Nowotarski with 5 laps to go.
On the final restart Ross would pull away. But wasnt as good in 3 and 4 as Jordan Thomas was but better in turns 1 and 2 and that was enough for Ross to pull away and claim his second win of the URC season.
“Points is what Bob wants, “ Said Ross in victory lane afterwards. “ Unfortunately I'm going to miss a race soon here with other commitments. But Bob and the entire crew worked their tails off to get this car where I needed it to be. I didn't want Jordan (Thomas) to get around me. That kid is fast. But the yellows fell our way at the end and got the clean air. We had Big Diamond circled on the calendar. We always run so well here.”

But the darling of the night had to be Brett Wanners drive from 10th to 3rd. He had a chance to have a good run at Baps go awry but Big Diamond definitely made up for it. “I’m feeling really good after tonight.” Wanner said with the help of his interpreter as Brett is deaf. “ I've only been in the car 4 times this year and I'm extremely happy to get 3rd here tonight. I didn't feel like I was strong enough. Could of used a gear change but We’ll take third place for the night.
The United Racing Club will be back in action on Friday September 6th for the annual trip to The Georgetown Speedway in Georgetown Delaware.

Thomas gets last lap, last corner pass for 4th Attica 410 win; Bores earns 1st late model win of the year; Weaver back in 305 victory lane

Friday, Aug. 23, 2024

By Brian Liskai

ATTICA, Ohio – Cale Thomas and Cap Henry have battled each other hard in 410 sprint car racing in North Central Ohio in 2024. Friday night, Aug. 23 at Attica Raceway Park was no different. The pair traded slide job after slide job throughout the 30-lap feature on Wilson Tire/Central Ohio Farmers Night with Thomas executing the final one in the final set of turns on the final lap to score his fourth win of the year at Attica by a mere .078 seconds over Henry.

The win is Thomas’ seventh overall victory of 2024 and the sixth career win at Attica and vaults him back into the point lead at Attica Raceway Park over Henry, who is the track’s defending Callie’s Performance Products 410 Sprint champion. The victory also pads Thomas’ lead in the All Pro Aluminum Cylinder Heads/Kistler Racing Products Attica Fremont Championship Series presented by the Baumann Auto Group over Henry who is the series’ defending champion. There’s just one race left in that series coming Sept. 7 at Fremont Speedway.

The first portion of the race was marred by numerous crashes with TJ Michael leading the first lap before Thomas took over and led until Henry took over on lap 10. Thomas regained the lead with eight laps to go only to see Henry back in front a lap later, setting up the exciting last lap pass by Thomas for the win.

“I kind of gave up on the high side when I saw Cap on the restart through the middle trying to protect and honestly it hurt me on the restart going into turn three and that’s when he threw the slide job on me. He saw me right before lapped traffic underneath him and I think I scared him into thinking I was back running through the middle like I normally do here. I’ve been watching a lot of the guys out in California so tried my best impression of them tonight. I just didn’t give up the top because that was the only way I could get a run,” said Thomas beside his Jay Kiser Racing, Spanky’s Pizza, Shelluke’s Bar and Grill, Automatic Fire Protection; Ohio Refrigeration, Ohio Heating, Engler Machine, BH 41, TMH Holdings, Berryman Racing Shocks, Keizer Wheels backed #23.

Collin Shipley lead he opening lap of the 25-lap Dirt Nerds Podcast Powered by Propane UMP Late Model feature before Mike Bores took over. With 10 laps to go Bores was challenged by Kyle Moore who came into the night having won the last four features at Attica. Moore took the lead on lap 17 but during a caution retired to the pits. Bores lead the rest of the way to score his first win of 2024, the eighth late model victory of his career at Attica over Nathon Loney, Todd Brennan, Ryan Markham and Devin Shiels.

“The old 15B is back. All the guys at Black Diamond Chassis, Keith and Brendon at After Burner Performance…we went through a whole week with my chassis guy and it paid off said Bores of his Roeder’s Racing Service; Stein Honey, UUI; Burns Electric; Truck Worx of Ohio, Cam-Tech, After Burner Performance backed machine.

It’s been a very frustrating season for Paul Weaver. Attica’s six time Fremont Fence 305 Sprint track champion was winless at the track where he had accumulated 73 career total wins to lead all drivers in the history of the track. But it all came together for the Fremont, Ohio driver Friday. After Blayne Keckler lead the first nine laps and Dustin Stroup laps 10-14, Weaver took over and drove away for his first victory of the year at Attica. It’s his 71st career 305 sprint victory and 74th including his 410 wins at the track.

“It’s been frustrating trying to figure out this new clay here. It’s the same stuff as Fremont on Attica is a lot faster. Last time I was here this car got bent and Beaber fixed it and I bought a few new parts and changed up a little bit and Daniel decided to do a lot different stuff than we normally did. Tonight I could run anywhere on the track,” said Weaver beside his Steve Brown’s B&B Drain Service, Hampshire Racing Engines, M&L Excavating, Seagate Sandblasting backed #1W.

Attica Raceway Park will be back in action for the Attica Ambush, Friday and Saturday, Aug. 30 and 31. The FAST On Dirt Series 410 sprints will be in action Friday in a $6,000-to-win/$500 to start affair with the UMP Late Models going for $2,000 to win. On Saturday the 410 sprints will battle for $6,000 to win/$500 to start and the 305 sprints will go for $1,200 to win. There’s free camping for the fans all weekend.

WELCOME TO THE CLUB: TROMBLEY’S 14TH CAREER WIN TIES HIM FOR FIRST ON ALL-TIME WIN LIST

Race Report By: Marty Czekala | August 24, 2024 |

BREWERTON, N.Y. – Jeff Trombley worked hard for over two years to join an elite group in CRSA.

This season, he has had many opportunities to taste victory, but engine issues soured him at Afton and Fonda, and he fell short of a win.

Not tonight, though.

The driver of the No. 3A survived a myriad late-race restarts at Brewerton Speedway and led from flag to flag to score his 14th career win, tying him with Danny Varin, Scott Goodrich, and Josh Pieniazek for first on the all-time win list.

"Anytime you win, it's a good feeling," said Trombley in victory lane. "It’s been a frustrating year. The guys have been giving me a great car all year. We’ve been running good, just got to finish.”

Trombley started outside pole next to Timmy Lotz for Brewerton's inaugural CRSA 25-lap feature. The former would run away with the early lead while Lotz, Tomy Moreau and Billy VanInwegen would battle for second.

"Billy V" moved up to second on lap 14, decreasing Trombley's lead from 2.4s to 1.8s before the race's first yellow a lap later for iFreeze B-Main winner Tyler Emmons off the pace.

In the three-lap average before the yellow flew, VanInwegen’s No. 56V averaged 15.282s to 15.795s from Trombley.

On the next two restarts in the 10-lap dash, Trombley held serve with VanInwegen on his tail. Whenever the No. 3A took the white flag or even the checkered flag, a problem behind him would happen, whether it was Lance Dusett’s flip on the back straight or Dalton Herrick's spin in turn two.

Ultimately, Trombley ran away with the better car in the short run to score his first win of 2024 and the illustrious 14th career win he'd been waiting for.

“I knew the car was good on the short run, I was really confident,” said Trombley. “I knew Billy was behind me, so I knew where he would try to keep getting me."

Billy VanInwegen records his third runner-up finish of the season after a pair of seconds at Thunder Mountain. If the race went caution-free, could the story be “Billy V” in victory lane?

“I had the lead in my sights,” said VanInwegen. “The last thing I wanted to see was that yellow. I think we were two car lengths back. In clean air, we had nothing for him. I tried a couple different things [in the final laps], just couldn’t find anything to make the magic happen.”

While that was the top two, the battle for third heated up at the end. While Tyler Graves and Tomy Moreau were racing hard, they were stunned by Zach Sobotka, who made his third career CRSA start in the No. 10VC typically driven by Vince Chicklets. Sobotka ripped the top side of his Friday night home in Sportsman to steal the bottom step of the podium.

“I was rolling in the bottom in the beginning,” said Sobotka, the 2021 Super DIRT Week champion in Sportsman. “Everyone was bottled up on the bottom, so I went to the top and could hold it wide-open. I knew it was fast as I was passing cars. It’s hard to get used to not knowing how a sprint car is supposed to drive, but must’ve been fast.”

Sobotka was awarded the Maguire Family of Dealerships Magnificent Move of the Race with his move.

With his fifth-place finish, Tomy Moreau increases his trend of top fives to five straight and extends his points lead to 30 on Kyle Pierce. Dalton Herrick remains third but falls 44 points behind the No. 22.

Dillon Paddock received the Powdertech Powdercoating Hard Charger of the Race, gaining 14 spots to finish 10th after starting 24th.

34 drivers checked in tonight for the inaugural race. Thanks to iFreeze Storage and Distribution Center and Westward Painting Company, drivers who didn't make it to the feature received more money than usual.

Adjustments propel Foos to 305 Fair Race win at Fremont

By Brian Liskai

FREMONT, Ohio – An open red gave DJ Foos and his crew the opportunity they needed to fine tune on his Merrill-owned 305 sprint car. The changes made to the set-up propelled Foos to the lead with just 10 laps to go as he cruised to the $2,500 win at Fremont Speedway Presented by Gill Construction on Fremont Fence Night to open the Sandusky County Fair.

“That was pretty hairy. A lot of action tonight. The best car probably didn’t win tonight but man, Kevin Osmolski, on that red, he put the super tune on it. It was like a brand new race car…it felt so good. I’m just so happy for the Merrill family, Matt and Michelle and their son Madden. I get the opportunity to drive Madden’s car…his dad built him a really good race car. I’m really excited to finally getting a win. We’ve been getting closer and closer but just couldn’t seal the deal. Hopefully this is a step in the right direction,” said Foos beside his Kash Kow Motorsports, Snyder’s Floor Covering, Adkinson Farms, Wagner Seed, NAPA of Bryan, Foster Auto Body, Handy Grafix, Berryman Racing Shocks, Kistler Race Products backed #39M.

Zeth Sabo jumped to the early lead in the Fremont Federal Credit Union 305 Sprint 30-lap feature with Bryan Sebetto, Kasey Jedrzejek, Dustin Stroup and Foos in tow. Lead until caution on lap 14. Once the race resumed Sebetto executed a slider for the lead at the half-way point. Sabo tried to return the favor in turns one and two and contact was made sending Sabo and Sebetto flipping and handing the lead to Stroup.

A crash on lap 20 involving four cars brought out about an open red. On the restart Foos pounced, driving into the lead over Stroup, Craig Mintz, Jedrzejek and John Ivy. Foos pulled away the final five laps for the win over Mintz, Stroup, Jedrzejek and Ivy.

Fremont Speedway will be back in action Saturday, Sept. 7 with the championship night for the All Pro Aluminum Cylinder Heads/Kistler Racing Products Attica Fremont Championship Series Presented by the Baumann Auto Group for the 410 sprints and the NAPA of Bryan AFCS presented by Jason Dietsch Trailer Sales for the 305 Sprints. The Burmeister Trophy Dirt Trucks will also be in action.

Heath Returns to 410 Racing with Skagit Speedway Sweep

8/17/24

By Kaleb Hart

Alger, WA - It’s been over a decade since Colton Heath was a full time competitor in the Karmart 410 Sprint division at Skagit Speedway. On Saturday night, Heath returned to the class and served notice that his run as a fill in driver for Dynes Racing will be memorable as he made a clean sweep of the night and took home a $5,000 pay day for his efforts.

With their normal driver, Justin Youngquist, nursing injuries sustained at the Summer Nationals, Dynes Racing tapped Heath to fill in for 410 competition for the rest of 2024. On Saturday night, the decision looked brilliant as Colton rolled to quick time, won his heat from fourth and led every lap of the main event to complete the sweep in the Karmart 410 Sprint Cars. Jason Solwold made late gains with Heath in traffic, but at the checkered flag it was Colton ahead of Jason and Robbie Price to fill out the podium. Price was the other heat race winner on the night.

360 Sprints were also on the card and a total of eight drivers did double duty on the night. When the dust settled on the 360 feature, it was Levi Klatt taking the victory after leading all thirty laps from the pole position. Dominic Scelzi moved his way to second but ran out of time to run down Klatt, who enjoyed his first 360 win at Skagit Speedway. Robbie Price ran third. Levi Hillier set fast time, while Levi Kuntz, Sclezi and Price won the heat races.

Mike Guffey was also a first time feature winner on the night, as he led every lap of the Hornet main event. Guffey went unchallenged in driving away from Howard Vos and Wyatt Covert for his first career win. Brian Michelson set fast time, while heat race wins went to Guffey and Covert.

Kruz Kepner goes high for Path Valley win
08-19-2024

Sometimes you just have to stand out in the crowd.

The field for Saturday’s River Valley Builders PA Sprint Series feature at Path Valley Speedway was hugging the inside of the quarter-mile bullring, so Kruz Kepner went high, made the outside work, and earned the checkered flag for the 25-lap IMCA/RaceSaver event.

The sixth-year veteran from Kreamer worked hard to make his Goods Consstruction/Hill Top Lawn Care/S&L Kreamer Trucking #19 work near the top of the high-banked oval, but it paid off, enabling him to slip past rookie Kyle Hart of Thompsontown on lap 15. Hart was looking for his first PASS win in only his ninth start, but he couldn’t get his car through lapped traffic at the bottom.

Nor, for that matter, could anyone else, except the winner, who took the checkered flag by 1.363 seconds.

Drew Young of Beaver Springs passed Hart on the last lap to take second place, with Hart finishing a career-best third.

Jarrett Cavalet of Hollidaysburg came from ninth starting position to finish fourth, with Austin Greenland of MIroy posting a PASS career-best fifth.

Timmy Bittner, Ian Cumens, Zach Rhodes (fastest in hot laps), Ken Duke Jr., and Kenny Heffner completed the top ten.

For Duke, the finish extended his streak of having top-tens in all but one of his 15 PASS starts this year, and he had to come from 15th starting position to do that. The performance earned him the W.C. Eshenaur & Son Hard Charger Award.

Cavalet had the second-best charge, advancing five spots, and he had to do that because he had the worst redraw for a feature starting position. That, however, had a silver lining, because the poor pill draw won him a new tire from Hoosier Tire Mid Atlantic.

The night’s other lemonade-from-lemons award went to veteran Mike Alleman, who took home a case of oil from VP Racing Fuels for the worst pill draw for heat race starting positions.

The feature ran non-stop, taking less than five-and-a-half minutes to complete, which led to intense battling in the field. It also maintained a streak of clean action for the night: PASS racing only required one yellow flag, brought out when Paul Moyer spun the second heat race, collecting Jeff Paulson and Owen Dimm. All resumed racing, and every car among the 23 on hand completed its heat still running.

In the feature, Dimm fell to the rear before the start, indicating mechanical problems, and he pulled off after one lap. John Walp, who dropped out two-thirds of the way through the feature, was the only other non-finisher.

Cavalet, Bittner, and Hunter McFadden won the heat races.

The race was only the second completed at Path Valley this year for the River Valley Builders PASS tour, with two rainouts, and the weather was threatening Saturday. The IMCA/RaceSaver teams have run at “the little track with the big action” more than anywhere else in their 26-year history, and they return two more times in 2024, on September 21 and October 19.

Next weekend, the River Valley Builders PASS racers are at BAPS Motor Speedway on Saturday night.

PASS is dedicated to the heritage of RaceSaver with stable and enforceable rules, consistent rules application and fair purse distribution paying 24th place one half of first place.

By Curtis Berleue (Vernon, NY) | After breaking into victory lane a few weeks ago, Billy VanInwegen became a repeat winner in 2024 with the Empire Super Sprints on Saturday. Earning $5,000 for his victory, VanInwegen joined a short list of drivers who have gone to victory lane in the Cole Cup.

As Matt Farnham and Danny Varin brough the field to the initial green flag, it was Farnham who took the early advantage down the backstretch. His lead was short lived, however, as Varin slid him going into turn 3 and would be officially credited with the lap.

A caution on lap two slowed the field, and on the ensuing restart Farnham got took the lead using the high side to his advantage. Unfortunately for Farnham, however, the caution flew again before a lap was completed undoing his efforts yet again.

By virtue of a caution directly following a restart, the field lined up single file for the restart, and this time Varin was able to open up a lead over Farnham. Behind the lead duo, Jonathan Preston followed comfortably in third, with Jordan Thomas and Billy VanInwegen battling for the fourth position.

By lap 12, VanInwegen had gotten by Thomas for fourth. Using a double file restart to his advantage, he then moved past both Preston and Farnham just one lap later to take second.

Behind Varin and VanInwegen, Davie Franek had been quietly working his way through the field from his 9th starting position. With 6 laps to go, Franek moved into a podium position, getting by Farnham for third.

Misfortune struck on lap 19 for Varin, as he ran out of fuel as the red flag came out for Joe Kata who had flipped in turns one and two. As such, each driver moved up one position as he relinquished the lead, making VanInwegen the leader with Franek in second and Farnham in third.

With three laps to go Jordan Poirier slid Farnham for third, but the leaders were too far gone. As the field crossed the checkered, it was VanInwegen picking up the win.

“There was nothing comfortable about that last lap,” said VanInwegen in victory lane. “I ran out of fuel with about a lap or a lap and a quarter to go, it was spitting and sputtering.”

“We had a really good car from the drop of the green, any time we could make up a little ground it seemed like the yellow would come out and put us back. A lot of guys ran out of fuel, we did too, we just had enough to get to the checkered.”

Crossing the line second was Davie Franek, coming all the way from the 6th row.

“Our car was pretty decent, it’s just tough starting 11th,” said Franek. “You battle, battle, battle and by the time you get to the good guys up front your stuffs just about wore out.”

“We could have been a little better at the beginning of the race, we always struggle with that. We were neck and neck on that restart, but he (VanInwegen) did what he had to do, and those guys work hard at it so congratulations to them.”

Rounding out the Ashley Lynn Winery podium was Jordan Poirier.

“It feels super good to finish third,” said Poirier. “At the beginning of the feature I didn’t expect to be moving forward, but we were really good on restarts. I was good on the bottom, decent on the top and I could maneuver my car. Fourteenth to third, I can’t complain about that.”

25 cars signed in for the 2024 version of the Cole Cup, and as such the field was split into three timed hot lap sessions. Picking up Rifenburg Contracting fast time awards were Billy VanInwegen, Jordan Thomas and Sammy Reakes IV. E&V Energy heat wins went to Logan Crisafulli, Robbie Stillwaggon and Davie Franek, while the Cobra Coaches dash was won by Shawn Donath.

The next scheduled event for the Empire Super Sprints is this coming Friday August 23rd at the Autodrome Granby in Granby, Quebec, followed by Autodrome Drummond in Drummondville, Quebec on Saturday August 24.

Ayrton Gennetten Retains Victory with POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprints at Missouri State Fair Speedway

Sedalia, MO. (8/18/24) Ayrton Gennetten would defend his throne as the Missouri State Fair Champion with the POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprint in the Show-Me-State Throwdown Finale presented by Start2Finish TV to notch his sixth career league victory and pocket the $5K-payday in an outstanding feature event at the historic half mile of Sedalia.

Flying onto the smooth surface with twenty talented entrants of the POWRi 410’s would see Brian Brown set a quick qualifying time of 17.130-second lap with Gunner Ramey and Kameron Key each earning heat racing victories.

Captivating the crowd on the initial green flag start with high-point qualifier Blake Hahn and Ayrton Gennetten lined up in the front row as Blake Hahn would gain the lead on the opening lap with Brian Brown, Ayrton Gennetten, Kameron Key, and Gunner Ramey all raced within the top five.

Holding the lead just past the half way point would find Blake Hahn battling Brian Brown for the top position with Brian Brown able to capitalize for the lead on lap twelve with Ayrton Gennetten following suite into the runner up placement.

Leading the next five revolutions, Brian Brown would feel the presence of defending league champion Ayrton Gennetten right behind him as the laps began to wain in front of the packed capacity crowd.

Overtaking the top spot with four laps remaining, Ayrton Gennetten would not be denied in earning his third seasonal POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprint victory in an action-packed main event with Brian Brown hustling into the runner-up position late.

“It was so tough on that first start and I could have timed it better but then again I wouldn’t have been in the position needed to win tonight,” said Ayrton Gennetten in the Sedalia Missouri victory lane ceremony celebrations. Adding, “Brian gave me a lane off of four and I took it, I rode the wheelie off of four but I wasn’t lifting”.

Challenging closely behind would find leader of eleven laps Blake Hahn placing on the final podium placement from the starting pole on the initial green flag. Gunner Ramey would be among the frontrunners all feature to fourth as Kameron Key would round out the top-five finishers for the POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprints in the 2024 Missouri State Fair Finale event at Missouri State Fair Speedway.

Paul Nienhiser Picks Off Peoria with Sprint Invaders!
by Bill Wright

Peoria, IL, August 17, 2024 – Paul Nienhiser won for the second year in a row at Peoria Speedway Saturday night with the Mohrfeld Solar Sprint Invaders. The Chapin, Illinois driver earned $2,000 for his twentieth career win with the series aboard the Scott Bonar #50. Nienhiser also cemented his point lead with the Sprint Invaders, after a Friday night that saw him get upside down at 34 Raceway in West Burlington, Iowa.

As the field assembled for the 25-lap feature, rain began to fall. The cars stayed on the track for several laps, ironing in the surface. As a result, the race was shortened to 20 laps. The track was dry in the heats and heading into the feature, so the rains changed the track considerably, at least for the first several laps.

It took four tries to get the racing underway. Riley Scott spun on the first try, Tyler Shoemaker stopped with throttle issues on the second, and Ryan Bunton tipped over on the third, collecting Colton Fisher and Preston Perlmutter. The latter two restarted at the tail, though Perlmutter had severe wing damage.

Cody Wehrle, who had won the Dash, led early from the pole once things went green for good, ahead of Nienhiser, Chase Richards, Terry McCarl and Austin Archdale. Nienhiser sized the leader up and took the point on lap four before Tyler Lee slowed to bring out the last caution of the race.

Nienhiser led Wehrle, Richards, McCarl and Archdale back to green. Fisher, who restarted at the tail after his incident entered the top five by lap eight. Nienhiser was into lapped cars by lap 11. McCarl overtook Richards for the third spot on lap 13, and Fisher gained fourth late in the going.

Up front, Nienhiser separated himself from the pack and blazed his way to the win. Wehrle was second, ahead of McCarl, Fisher and Chase Richards. Archdale, Blaine Jamison, McCain Richards, Tanner Gebhardt and Scott rounded out the top ten. Chase Richards and Perlmutter won heats, and Wehrle claimed the Dash.

“We really weren’t planning on (the rain) to start the feature,” said Nienhiser in Victory Lane. “We’d been working on stuff since hot laps. Scott made some adjustments that we thought were going to help us in the slick. Honestly, it may have helped us in the tacky. I know some guys were probably too tight. Bunton got up on the bicycle and got torn up. We had a little bit of luck. This was a good way to end the weekend.”

“It’s good to start on a track that was conducive to racing early,” said Wehrle. “We can’t seem to draw worth a diddle, and we’ve struggled to make the Dash. We have a car that races well. It’s so frustrating losing to Paul, but I don’t know that there’s anyone else that I’d rather lose to than Paul and Scott and all the wisdom they have. I know they had a rough Friday and a rough month, so happy for them, and bummed for our guys.”

“I thought the rain might be tough,” said McCarl. “We tightened up a lot after the heat. We were way too loose in the heat race. I was happy to get through the first two or three skirmishes, and I felt maneuverable. It actually slicked off pretty quick and we got going. The car really came to me towards the end, and we were able to get to third and reel in second a little bit. All in all, we had a good night. I think we won the (car owner point fund sponsored by Avis and Budget Car Rental of Burlington) for the two nights for Jimmy (Davies), so that was good too.”

The Mohrfeld Solar Sprint Invaders conclude their season on, Saturday, September 28, with the $5,000 to win “Fall Haul” at 34 Raceway in West Burlington, Iowa. For more information on the Sprint Invaders, visit www.SprintInvaders.net or visit us on Facebook.

Xavier Doney Excels with POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprint Victory at Lucas Oil Speedway

Wheatland, MO. (8/17/24) Xavier Doney would nearly perfect the night with the POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprint in the Summer Thunder presented by Start2Finish TV to notch his inaugural league victory and pocket the $5K payday in an outstanding feature event at Lucas Oil Speedway.

Flying onto the smooth surface with twenty-two talented entrants of the POWRi 410’s would see Xavier Doney set a quick qualifying time of 13.638-second lap with Noah Gass, Gunner Ramey, and Miles Paulus each earning heat racing victories.

Captivating the crowd on the initial green flag start with high-point qualifier Xavier Doney and Gunner Ramey lined up in the front row as Xavier Doney would gain the lead on the opening lap with Gunner Ramey, Blake Hahn, Kyle Bellm, and Ayrton Gennetten all raced within the top five.

Holding steady up front while stretching a commanding two-second lead, Xavier Doney would appear to be a class by himself for most of the night as great battling action would take place behind the front-running Doney with Blake Hahn and Kyle Bellm attempting to keep pace as the laps ticked away rapidly.

Xavier Doney would not be denied in earning his first career POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprint victory in an action-packed thirty lap main event after leading every step of the way with Ayrton Gennetten hustling into the runner-up position late.

“The top was about as thin as it gets with it being pretty treacherous,” said Xavier Doney in the Wheatland Missouri victory lane ceremony celebrations. Adding, “I was fortunate to be in clean air and recover pretty easy after overcooking it a couple of times.”.

Challenging closely behind would find Blake Hahn placing on the final podium placement as Kyle Bellm would be among the frontrunners all feature to fourth as Miles Paulus would round out the top-five finishers for the POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprints in the Summer Thunder event at Lucas Oil Speedway.

Schatz and Thram Capture FENDT Jackson Nationals Championships at Jackson Motorplex

Inside Line Promotions - JACKSON, Minn. (Aug. 17, 2024) - Donny Schatz and Christopher Thram are FENDT Jackson Nationals champions after both drivers earned the coveted win on Saturday during the 46 th edition of the marquee event at Jackson Motorplex.

Schatz led the distance of the 35-lap World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series main event to record the $25,000 top prize. It marked his first FENDT Jackson Nationals title since 2018 and his fourth career World of Outlaws triumph at the track.

"All I can say is if you're a fan it's a good time to be alive," he said. "It makes me damn proud to race with guys like Sheldon (Haudenschild) and Carson (Macedo). Not only are they awesome, but they make the old guys like me better. I'm happy to steal one from them tonight."

Although Schatz led each lap, a close call came on Lap 12 when two drivers collided directly in front of him in turns one and two. As the drivers spun to a stop, Schatz split them to dodge the crash and keep the top spot. He was strong in traffic and held more than a one-second lead entering the last lap.

Haudenschild, who passed David Gravel for the runner-up position on Lap 28, pounded the cushion and rapidly closed on Schatz as the checkered flag was waved. He made up more than one and a half seconds in the final three laps, finishing second by only 0.175 seconds.

"Donny did a hell of a job," he said. "He did it the easy way and I was definitely doing it the sketchy way. It's fun racing Donny. He's the best at it. I'm happy with our speed this weekend and looking forward to next."

Gravel drove to a third-place outing for the second straight night to maintain the lead in the World of Outlaws championship standings.

"The top in (turns) one and two was pretty good early on," he said. "I felt I was right there on (Schatz's) right rear, but just not able to get around him. In the middle of that race I struggled in (turns) one and two where I felt good. I wish I could get three or four laps back. I think we were really, really close. I think the top three could have gone any way there. The track didn't go the way I expected it. The grip went away a lot faster than I thought. A top three here this weekend is way better than last year."

Aaron Reutzel was the fourth-place finisher and Emerson Axsom placed fifth.

Landon Crawley set quick time during qualifying before Gravel, Reutzel, Logan Schuchart and Haudenschild produced heat race wins. Schatz won the King of the Hill and Crawley was the Last Chance Showdown winner.

Thram led the final two thirds of the 25-lap, $5,000-to-win Gunderson Racing Inc. Midwest Sprint Touring Series 360 Sprint Cars A Main.

"This is really cool," he said. "It's not a 410 championship, but 360 championships are just as much competition. It's great to get a win here."

Blaine Stegenga held the top spot for the first nine laps before Thram, who advanced from fourth to second place in turns one and two during the opening lap, maneuvered into the lead two laps after traffic arrived. He quickly built a nearly two-second lead and held that advantage when a caution came out on Lap 22. Thram once again powered to a sizeable lead following the restart as he won by 1.728 seconds.

"I was kind of guessing which way Sam and Blaine would go," he said of the start. "They left the top open. Blaine got hung up by a couple of lapped cars there and I think that kind of sealed the deal. I'm glad I could get through it well and get the win."

Reutzel, who drew the pole position during the feature redraw and took a challenge that would have provided him a $3,000 bonus if he could win the race from eighth, drove into fourth place by the midpoint of the feature. He took third on Lap 15 and second following the late-race restart.

Stegenga rounded out the podium for his best result of the season at Jackson Motorplex.

"I tried to run the bottom," he said. "I started getting hung up by lappers. I got up there and a little bit in the dirty air. I saw Thram on my inside and I thought, 'Oh boy, here we go.' It feels good to be up front."

Sam Henderson finished fourth and Kaleb Johnson posted a fifth-place result.

The heat races were won by Scott Winters and Brant O'Banion.

Sabo earns 1st 410 win of the year at Attica; Moore claims 4th straight late model victory; Sebetto gets third 305 win

Friday, Aug. 16, 2024

By Brian Liskai

ATTICA, Ohio – Zeth Sabo led wire to wire but had to withstand a big challenge from defending track champion Cap Henry late in the race to score his first 410 sprint win of the season at Attica Raceway Park Friday, Aug. 16 on F.E. Kroka & Associates/Five Star Maintenance Night.

After a crash involving Tyler Street and Bryce Lucius (both were not injured) on the opening lap, the Callies Performance Products 410 Sprint 30-lap feature went caution free. Sabo, who started on the pole jumped into the lead and quickly built a sizeable advantage until hitting heavy lapped traffic just past the half-way point. Henry, who started seventh worked his way to second in the traffic and closed to within a half a second of Sabo with just six laps to go. Once clear of traffic, Sabo powered away for his second career Attica win over Henry, DJ Foos, Skylar Gee and Creed Kemenah.

“The car got better the harder I drove it. I saw Cap poke his nose under me there late and I knew I had to get going. Thanks to Rich and Shelly Farmer for giving me this opportunity and Steven and all the guys who work on this thing,” said Sabo beside his NAPA of Fremont, Level Utilities, Limo Scene Limo Service, Linder’s Speed Equipment, Kiser Sound backed #29.

Henry’s second place finish brings him closer to Cale Thomas in the battle for the All Pro Aluminum Cylinder Heads/Kistler Racing Products Attica Fremont Championship Series Presented by the Baumann Auto Group title.

You didn’t want to be leading and getting into lapped traffic in the Whistle Stop Presents the Dirt Nerds Podcast Powered by Propane UMP Late Model feature. Todd Brennann led the first 15 laps of the 25 lap affair before getting into a lapped car and spinning. Doug Drown lead laps 16-20 before being collected when a lapped car spun in front of him. Ryan Markham led lap 21 before Mansfield, Ohio’s Kyle Moore drove into the lead on lap 22 and drove to his fourth straight win at Attica.

Moore’s fifth win of the season at Attica is also his 10th consecutive victory overall in 2024 when coupled with other tracks. Markham, Collin Shipley, Mike Bores and Casey Noonan would round out the top five.

“WOW…this is amazing. I can’t believe this. My crew, Tye Tworg for giving me this fast machine…just all the great people on this thing.

I’ve waited forever to win here and we just can’t stop winning now. I love this place. Honestly I was just riding there and I saw Brennan get tangled up and then Drown and Markham and I was like this is just meant to be. I probably wouldn’t have won unless they wrecked. I’m not going to sugar coat it…we definitely had some luck tonight,” said Moore beside his Kepling Flooring, Tye Tworg Longhorn, Joyride Transportation, Smitley Towing, Short Stop, Malcuit Race Engines, Wilson Realty agent Robin Jakubick, RL Bond Septic, Hepthorn Golf Cart Sales, House of Spud, K&B Septic Service, Coffman Composites, Team Midwest Paint, Platinum Design backed #1*.

Last season’s rookie of the year Blayne Keckler jumped into the early lead of the Fremont Fence 305 Sprint A-main before Bryan Sebetto took the point on lap seven. Sebetto sliced through traffic as ninth starter Dustin Stroup slie into second with just six laps to go. The only caution of the 25-lap race came after the white flag, setting up a one-lap shoot-out for the win. Sebetto hit his marks perfectly to score his third win of the year at Attica over Stroup, Keckler, Jimmy McGrath and Dustin Dinan.

The victory is Sebetto’s 16th career win in the 305 division at Attica, tying him with Joe Keegan for eighth on the track’s all-time win list for the 305 sprints. It is also Sebetto’s seventh overall victory of 2024.

“I was pissed when that caution came out but it’s a part of racing. I knew I just had to hit my marks for one more lap and I knew I had a clear track and wouldn’t have to battle with anyone. I was able to move around in lapped traffic early and I knew I could pretty much run where ever I wanted. It’s a testament to how good this car is,” said Sebetto beside his : Sandusky Bay Remodeling, JLH General Contractor, Sandusky Bay RV Rentals, KH Suspension, Commercial Glazing Systems, Overwatch Precision, RCF Chassis, Level Performance, Race Ready Apparrel, NAPA of Fremont, Clay Keim, Depot Pizza, CA Kustoms backed #01.

Stroup’s second place finish will also pull him closer to Jamie Miller in the battle for the NAPA of Bryan Attica Fremont Championship Series Presented by Jason Dietsch Trailer Sales title.

Attica Raceway Park will be back in action Friday, Aug. 23 with the AFCS 410 and 305 sprints and UMP Late Models in action.

CRAUN TAKES ADVANTAGE OF WARNER ISSUE; WINS FIRST CRSA RACE

Race Report By: Marty Czekala – August 17, 2024

DUNDEE, N.Y. – Dan Craun came into the weekend not having a CRSA podium in 2 1/2 years.

Friday night, his racing career changed forever.

Craun took advantage of a Blake Warner mishap with 10 laps to go to score his first career CRSA win in the first race of the Dandy Triple Play. With the win, the driver of the No. 18c becomes the 81st different winner in CRSA history and the fourth first-time winner this season.

“We’ve got a heat race win this year and couldn’t get it done at the end of the night,” said Craun. “This is awesome.”

Warner dominated this race, leading the opening 15 laps, until a brake line issue on the left front, while under caution, ended his night. The No. 21B had up to a 4.5-second lead, easily making his way through lapped traffic.

“There was so much going through my head,” Craun said. “I feel bad for him, but thank you.”

Craun and Warner made up the front row, with Warner immediately clearing Craun in the opening four laps. Craun would keep the gap close on Warner before the race’s first yellow on lap five for Sydney Weatherbee and Vince Chicklets around in turn two.

On the restart, Warner held serve while Dalton Herrick started challenging Craun for second. This would allow Warner to run away with a massive lead in lapped traffic. The run would end on lap 16 when Bob Hamm Jr. spun in turn three.

As the field was pacing under caution, Warner, the leader, came to a sudden stop on the track. Reports came in that a brake line blew out the left front, ending his night.

This is the second time this season Warner has suffered heartbreak while leading. The first was Fonda July 27, when he flipped in turn four and walked away unscathed.

Craun restarted and hung on to the lead as the leader. As the leader approached lapped traffic, Herrick stayed behind while Kyle Pierce and Tyler Graves who were racing for third, hoping the top two would make a mistake.

On the final lap, Herrick showed his nose underneath in turn two, but Craun had a much better exit to clear the No. 29 and not look back to score his first career win by a half second.

"Sometimes I wish we had rearview mirrors, but unfortunately, we don't," joked Craun. “Every time we come up on lapped traffic this is always gonna be a factor. We’re gonna have a bunch of Miller Lites.”

Craun’s career-best finish beats out a second he scored at Land of Legends Raceway Sept. 7, 2019.

A runner-up finish for Herrick is his best this season, beating a pair of thirds at Afton and Fonda.

“I needed to go to the bottom a little sooner at the end,” said Herrick. “We were starting to roll and show Craun the nose. Didn’t have enough laps to perfect it. Lapped traffic would’ve made It interesting.”

After winning last weekend at Thunder Mountain, Kyle Pierce followed up his win with a third-place finish after starting 12th. Back-to-back podiums for “The Flyin' School Teacher" allow Pierce to unofficially close in on Tomy Moreau’s points lead at 23.

“Once we started rolling the bottom, we were trying to gain momentum,” Pierce said. “I was gaining monster runs. If you told me we’d go 12th to third, I wouldn't believe these good runs. We’ll take it.”

Timmy Lotz was the Powdertech Powdercoating Hard Charger of the Race, gaining 18 spots to finish sixth after starting 24th.

Ed Kelley received the Maguire Family of Dealerships Magnificent Move of the Race.

Each podium member received a gift card to Dandy.

CRSA is back Saturday for the second round of the Dandy Triple Play at Woodhull Raceway.

Macedo and Bosma Produce FENDT Jackson Nationals Victories at Jackson Motorplex

Inside Line Promotions - JACKSON, Minn. (Aug. 16, 2024) - Carson Macedo and Brandon Bosma were victorious on Friday night at Jackson Motorplex, which hosted Night 2 of the 46 th annual FENDT Jackson Nationals.

The front row of the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series main event consisted of the last four FENDT Jackson Nationals champions with Logan Schuchart - the 2020 and 2021 event winner - on the pole and the two-time defending champion Macedo on the outside.

Macedo quickly powered into the top spot at the start and led the distance of the 30-lap feature, which was only slowed one time for a caution with 10 laps remaining.

Traffic ramped up the excitement of the race that featured a myriad of slide jobs and in the waning laps Sheldon Haudenschild, who hustled from fourth to second place on the late restart, closed to within a couple of car lengths of Macedo. However, Macedo was able to pick through traffic efficiently to win by 0.402 seconds.

"I was able to get a really good start to the feature, get by Logan and take command of the feature," he said. "I could feel that my pace was slowing down as we got to traffic. I got held up big time off (turn) four one time by a lapper.

"Wins are what keeps everybody's spirits up. We haven't done as much this year as we have in the past. We run in the top five often, but we just haven't been winning enough. Hopefully we can double up tomorrow and get another Jackson Nationals under our belt."

Macedo has won three of the last five World of Outlaws A Mains at Jackson Motorplex. The performance on Friday marked his fourth career series triumph at the track.

Haudenschild's runner-up result was his 17 th top five of the season with the World of Outlaws.

"I had a good restart there," he said. "I had a lane open, went around them. I felt I was pacing the No. 41 nice there. I just didn't capitalize in traffic."

David Gravel captured a third-place finish to increase his lead in the World of Outlaws championship standings.

"I thought we had a really good race car," he said. "The track was slightly top dominant, but the lapped traffic made it exciting. I'm really, really happy with the car. It's been fun to drive the car this year and I'm looking forward to tomorrow for sure."

Aaron Reutzel was fourth and Schuchart rounded out the top five.

Gravel set quick time during qualifying before the heat races were won by Dusty Zomer, Macedo, Haudenschild and Bill Balog. Schuchart drove to the dash victory and Kelby Watt was the Last Chance Showdown winner.

Bosma garnered a FENDT Jackson Nationals title by leading the final 23 laps of the $2,500-to-win Wyffels Hybrids RaceSaver Sprint Car Series presented by Heser Auto & Detailing main event.

"It's pretty awesome," he said. "This means a lot. This is the biggest win in my career. Knowing everybody who's won this race and to put my name in the history books is pretty awesome."

The feature got off to a rough start with three cautions and a red flag before three laps were completed. John Lambertz led the first two laps before Bosma drove around him exiting turn two following a restart. He held off a mid-race charge from 10th-starting Jacob Peterson and a late rally from Lee Goos Jr. to win by 0.627 seconds.

Monty Ferriera, who started 13th, found something in the middle of the track in the second half of the race to advance for a third-place result. Matt Johnson finished fourth and Peterson was fifth.

Logan Moore and Mike Stien were the B Main winners.

The FENDT Jackson Nationals finale is Saturday with a $25,000-to-win World of Outlaws program as well as a $5,000-to-win Gunderson Racing Inc. Midwest Sprint Touring Series 360 Sprint Cars feature. The gates open at 4 p.m. with hot laps slated to start at 7 p.m.

JACKSON MOTORPLEX -

Tasker Phillips Strikes Again in 34 Thriller!
by Bill Wright

West Burlington, IA, August 16, 2024 – Tasker Phillips won for the second time this season at 34 Raceway in West Burlington, Iowa with the Mohrfeld Solar Sprint Invaders Friday night. After the race got off to an awkward and slow first seven laps, things got thrilling down the stretch and the Pleasantville, Iowa native netted $2,000 for his win.

Corbin Gurley bicycled and got all but upside down at the first try at green in the 25-lap feature. He rejoined the field after changing a flat left rear tire. Once Green, Tanner Gebhardt shot into the early lead ahead of Josh Schneiderman, Tasker Phillips, Terry McCarl and Colton Fisher. Four laps in, Jake Glasgow flipped hard down the backstretch. Chase Richards was also involved, but make repairs in the work area and continued. Glasgow exited the car under his own power.

Paul Nienhiser entered the top five on the restart, and passed McCarl on the low side to gain fourth on lap seven. Things became disjointed at that point, when Blaine Jamison spun, bringing caution. A third starting Phillips jumped the start on the next try at green and was moved back a spot. On the next try, Alex Vande Voort got into the wall entering the pits, bringing another red. He was o.k. At the same time, Fisher went to the work area to make repairs. The third try was not a charm, as a caution was coming out for Cam Sorrels when the third running Nienhiser flipped in turn four. He was uninjured.

The last 18 laps went green. Gebhardt, who had a damaged nose wing throughout, led Schneiderman, Phillips, McCarl and Dustin Selvage back to green. Miles Paulus quickly moved into the top five. Phillips and Schneiderman battled hard for second, exchanging the spot three times.

Gebhardt, with bad nose wing and all, entered lapped traffic on the seventeenth circuit in pursuit of his first ever Sprint Invaders win. Phillips had gotten by Schneiderman and was now focused on the lead. He shot a slider on Gebhardt and took the point on lap 19. Paulus was also on the move, taking third form Schneiderman with three to go, and passing Gebhardt for second on the following lap.

Phillips led the last few laps and won over Paulus, and Schneiderman, who moved by Gebhardt late. Hard-charger Dustin Selvage was fourth and Gebhardt finished fifth. McCarl, Tyler Lee, Garrett Benson, Sawyer Phillips and Chase Richards rounded out the top ten. Fisher, Tasker Phillips and Paulus won heats, and Schneiderman won the Dash. Chase Richards claimed the B main. Tyler Graves tipped over in the B main, but was uninjured.

“I respect this track,” said Phillips in Victory Lane. “You have to respect the walls here. Schneiderman gave me room…it wasn’t a whole lot of room, but he gave me enough to work with it. I was on the edge of my seat, but I’m glad we got it done. I have to thank this team. I don’t have a whole lot of time to work on the car with the farming, and I couldn’t get it done without them.”

“To be honest, we weren’t good in the Dash,” said Paulus. “We started all over, and changed bars, and changed all kinds of stuff. My buddy Angelo from Australia is here helping me, and that’s been a huge help. He got her dialed in. We stunk the first seven laps, and at the end, we were really good. It was narrow at the beginning and once it widened up, it got pretty dang racy.”

“We’re pretty disappointed really,” said Schneiderman of his third place run after starting on the pole. “We struggled the second half of the race. With about three to go, I about clobbered Tanner, because I had no brakes left. It’s part of racing. Lapped traffic made it interesting. I wasn’t going to give (Phillips) an inch. I love racing Tasker. He did a good job and made the moves when he needed to. We were able to get by him a couple times, but I couldn’t get by Tanner to save my life.”

Martin and Goos Jr. Record FENDT Jackson Nationals Wins to Open Marquee Event at Jackson Motorplex

Inside Line Promotions - JACKSON, Minn. (Aug. 15, 2024) - Cameron Martin and Lee Goos Jr. kicked off the opening night of the 46 th annual FENDT Jackson Nationals at Jackson Motorplex by earning feature triumphs on Thursday.

Martin won a thriller of a 25-lap Gunderson Racing Inc. Midwest Sprint Touring Series 360 Sprint Cars main event, marking his first career win at the track.

Martin paced the field for the first 10 laps before Kaleb Johnson powered into the lead entering turn three on Lap 11. The drivers duked it out in thick traffic for several laps. Martin returned the favor with a slide job into turn one on Lap 18 to regain first place. He then held off late charges from Aaron Reutzel and Matt Juhl to win by 1.272 seconds.

"I just had to kind send it," Martin said. "I made that early race mistake and let Kaleb get by, but ultimately I think I had the better race car. It all worked out my way. When you're out front like that you try to think like you're hot lapping, trying to hit every mark and not slip up. Lapped traffic was very difficult tonight. It almost cost us the win, but we were able to make the most of it and get up front."

Reutzel hustled from ninth to second, using a last-lap pass to secure the runner-up result by four thousandths of a second. He was also the Hard Charger Award winner for gaining the most positions.

"It was pretty narrow to start with, but it got wide and racy," he said. "We'll come back the next two nights and see what we can do."

Juhl rounded out the podium.

"It feels good to be sitting up here," he said. "Lapped traffic didn't go my way. That's part of racing."

Skylar Prochaska placed fourth and Christopher Thram maneuvered from 12 th to fifth.

Reutzel set quick time during qualifying before Justin Jacobsma, Blaine Stegenga and Prochaska produced heat race victories.

Goos Jr. became the first repeat winner of the season at Jackson Motorplex as he garnered the Wyffels Hybrids RaceSaver Sprint Cars presented by Heser Auto & Detailing 20-lap feature triumph.

Nake Eakin led for the first eight laps before Goos Jr. rapidly closed in as traffic appeared. Eakin drifted up the track in turns one and two on Lap 9, allowing Goos Jr. to pull even down the backstretch and enter turn three on the favored bottom lane. He then slid in front of Eakin to take over the top spot. Goos Jr. led the remainder of the race and pulled away following a restart on Lap 14 to win by 2.052 seconds.

"I knew I had to have lapped traffic," he said. "Once I got out front the car was super easy to drive."

Eakin was the runner up with Brandon Bosma placing third. Matt Johnson finished fourth and Brandon Halverson ended fifth.

Goos Jr. was the quickest out of 43 entrants during qualifying. The heat races were won by Gaige Weldon, Amelia Eisenschenk, Madi Miller, Bayley Ballenger and Johnny Sullivan. Dusty Ballenger was the B Main winner.

The event welcomes the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series on Friday with the Wyffels Hybrids RaceSaver Sprint Cars presented by Heser Auto & Detailing also part of the program. The gates open at 4 p.m. with hot laps at 7 p.m.

Blair Gets Homecoming ULMS Win; Flick Sprints to Victory; Myers and Seippel Also Score

(Franklin, PA August 11, 2024): Max Blair, of nearby Centerville, was the winner of the ULMS Late Model feature on Sunday night at Tri-City Raceway Park, as the division returned to the track for the first time in three years. A.J. Flick made a late pass of Greg Wilson to steal the Krill Recycling LLC 410 Sprint Car feature win. Blaze Myers topped the 4 Your Car Connection RUSH Sprint Cars, and Josh Seippel was the Hovis Auto & Truck Supply Pro Stock winner.

Logan Zarin and Max Blair presented the thirty lap ULMS Late Model feature on the starting grid, with Blair leading the race from the start. Fourth starting Andy Boozel advanced to second in the early laps before third starting Jared Miley took the spot a few laps in. The first caution period of the race came on lap six and, on the restart, it was Blair again taking command over Miley and Zarin. Miley stayed close, within a second, before the next caution period came with eighteen laps complete. Again, Blair took control when racing resumed, with Miley unable to stay as close to the leader as he did before the caution. A final interlude with three laps remaining gave the field one last shot at the leader. But Blair resumed his lead for the remaining distance to post his second Late Model win at the track, the last coming in 2015. Since then, Blair moved on to compete at the regional and national levels in the Late Model ranks. Miley, the winner of the last Late Model race at the track in 2021, settled for second. Zarin was third over Andy Boozel and Alex Ferree. Tyler Dietz, Doug Eck, Dylan Lewis, Dave Stamm, and Greg Oakes filled the top ten. Blair and Miley were the heat winners. Blair also recorded the evening’s fastest time in qualifications, 17.73 seconds.

The twenty-five lap Krill Recycling 410 Sprint Car feature had Jim Morris and Brandon Spithaler on the front row. Spithaler led the first lap as tight racing in turn four found last week’s winner, Matt Farnham. spinning for the race’s first caution. Farnham was able to restart. A Nathen McDowell spin brought the caution out a lap later. Spithaler continued to show the way over Andy Priest and Bob Felmlee, as the yellow waved again with seven laps complete. It was still Spithaler as second running Priest had trouble on the backstretch to slow the race with twelve laps in. Spithaler now led over Felmlee, as Greg Wilson joined the lead battle. Wilson took second from Felmlee with the final caution on lap fifteen setting up an exciting ten lap run to the finish. When the green flew again, it was Spithaler now having his hands full with Wilson on the low line and seventh starting A.J. Flick on the outside lane. Wilson made an inside pass of Spithaler in turn four to take the lead on lap twenty, with Spithaler then retiring from the race. With Wilson low and Flick high and the leaders in race traffic, the battle was on for the win. Flick made the outside work off turn four to take the lead on lap twenty-two, as he held off Wilson’s challenges to win his fourth of the year and fourteenth at the track. Felmlee was third, with Farnham recovering to finish fourth. Brandon Matus was fifth, as Morris, Andy Cavanaugh, Bodey McClintock, Aaron Marano, and Nathen McDowell completed the top ten. Morris and Felmlee were the heat winners. A heat race incident involving Jeremy Weaver and Sean Rayhall severely damaged both machines, ending the evening for both teams.

Ricky Tucker, III and Arnie Kent led the 4 Your Car Connection RUSH Sprint feature to green with Kent taking the early lead. Fourth starting Blaze Myers was quickly up to challenge and, with an inside pass in turn three, he took the lead on lap two. Once in front, Myers quickly began to put distance between himself and the competition. Second was hotly contested as the green flag laps clicked by. Myers took the checkered flag 4.667 seconds ahead of his competitors. The win was his third of the season and fourth in the division. Kent prevailed over Joe Buccola in the battle for second. Last week’s winner, John Mollick, was fourth and Luke Mulichak was fifth for his best finish of the season. Mollick and Myers took the heat wins.

The fifteen lap Hovis Auto & Truck Supply Pro Stock main had Jake Whitling and Pat Fielding on the front row with Whitling leading from the start. A caution period on lap two slowed the pace, as fourth starting Josh Seippel took the lead on the restart. Late restarts on laps nine and ten gave the field additional chances to challenge, but Seippel went on to win his second feature of the year and eighth in the division, in the 300th Pro Stock race since the track reopened in 1995. Whitling matched his season’s best finish in second, 1.282 seconds behind, with Rod Laskey third. Joey Zambotti was fourth, with Russ Coyne fifth. Heat winners were Jim Fosnaught and Zambotti.

Mollick built upon his lead in the Marsh Heating & Cooling Heat Race Challenge.

Next week, Tri-City Raceway Park will present the Ryder Memorial for the BRP Mofified Tour. The 21st Century Energy Group Modifieds will be ready to defend their home turf.

Bard Sweeps 410s at Clinton County

Mill Hall, PA – Garrett Bard of Wells Tannery, PA earned his second career 410 sprint car victory on Saturday night at the Clinton County Speedway. Both feature wins occurred at Clinton County just weeks apart. Bard was the winner of the third annual Phil Walter Classic collecting the $6,300 payday, a race honoring Phil Walter the all-time 410 feature winner at the 1/3-mile oval. Devin Freise won the East Coast Legends twin feature events and Matt Weaver of Centre Hall won the 4 Cylinders.

Bard, who won his heat race qualifier stared on the pole alongside Indiana driver, Devin DeVault. Bard took the lead from the drop of the green flag, leading DeVault, defending race winner Dale Blaney of Ohio, Davie Franek of New Jersey, and Dominic Melair of Pennsylvania.

The first caution occurred on lap number 7, when Linden’s Dale Schweikart spun in turn two. Bard held off DeVault while Dominic Melair passed Franek for fourth and began to challenge Blaney. A lap eleven caution for Josh Beamer and Billy Dietrich when the two tangled on the front stretch, resulting in both drivers going to the pit area.

Following the restart, Bard and DeVault ran first and second, while Blaney and Melair continued to battle for the third postion. A lap 15 caution for Owen Dimm and Tylar Rutherford who tangled in turn four bunched the field up once again. Bard again maintained the lead, with DeVault, Blaney, Melair, and Mike Bauer now running in the top five.

Bard began to quickly catch of the tail end of the field, which would make lapped traffic a factor. Bard tried to maneuver the lapped traffic which slowed his pace, allowing DeVault to close the gap between the top two cars. Meanwhile, Blaney and Melair continued battle for the third postion. On lap number 25 and in heavy lapped traffic, Melair passed Blaney for third and made it a three-car battle for the lead. With two laps remaining, DeVault was on the rear bumper of Bard and threatened to take the lead. As the duo came to the white flag it was a drag race into turns one and two. Bard exited turn two with a slight lead over DeVault and Melair was also withing striking distance hoping the top two would make a mistake.

PIERCE TAKES WIN IN FRONT OF STUDENTS AT THUNDER MOUNTAIN

Race Report By: Marty Czekala | Aug. 11, 2024

CENTER LISLE, N.Y. – Kyle Pierce’s day job isn’t too far from Thunder Mountain Speedway.

As a fourth grade teacher at Spencer-Van Etten Central School, under an hour away, many of his students showed up to watch him race his 305 Sprint car. They may now be good luck charms.

Pierce passed underneath Billy VanInwegen with eight laps to go to score his second win of the season at Thunder Mountain in the Joe’s Garage Southern Tier Series.

“I hope they come back with us," said Pierce in victory lane. We have a lot of family, people from school that have been coming. It's cool to pick up a win, but more special when they hear it 180 days out of the school year."

A pair of VanInwegens made up the front row: Emily VanInwegen followed by Billy VanInwegen, the latter of whom finished second last May. "Emily V" led the opening laps in the sibling rivalry, but "Billy V" grabbed the lead back on the outside through three and four.

“The Flyin' School Teacher" Pierce would move up to the runner-up spot, passing Emily VanInwegen on the top before the first yellow flew around the halfway point for Kirsten Dombrowski, spinning in turn three.

The restart saw Billy VanInwegen's No. 56v hold serve. Pierce explored options from the high to the low grooves and the leader cut off. Pierce seemed really good on the top, but when Billy VanInwegen took the top, the No. 9k switched downstairs and, on lap 18, took the lead in three and four to not look back and win.

“If you told me I was gonna do that, I wouldn't believe you," Pierce said. "I never ran the top here before; we were hoping I could poke my nose one time and get back to where I was. He’s not the guy you want behind you when it gets slick.”

The win is Pierce’s second of the Joe’s Garage Southern Tier Series and the sixth of his career, tying him for 13th on the all-time wins list.

In victory lane, Pierce dedicated this win to the late Evan Canfield, former CRSA Sprints photographer. Pierce revealed that plans were in the works to have Canfield’s EC Media logo on the wing of “The Flyin’ School Teacher’s.”

Two races at Thunder Mountain in 2024 and two runner-up finishes for Billy VanInwegen. Déjà vu to last May when he led early and then lost it later in the going.

“Real good early, horrid at the end,” said Billy VanInwegen. “Kyle ran a good race. Thanks to the VanDusen family for letting me run this thing. I need to get this thing to take off at the start. Just do our homework and find some speed.”

As for the other VanInwegen in the field, Emily VanInwegen piloted her No. 19em ride to third, her first podium finish since June 2019 at Glen Ridge when she finished second and her first top-five finish since Aug. 2022 at Afton.

“I ran the bottom all night except the feature, which is usually my safe zone," said Emily VanInwegen. “I wasn’t too sure how it was going to plan out. We gave it our best and this is where it’s at.”

Blake Warner finished sixth tonight after starting from 18th place, gaining 12 spots to make him the Powdertech Powdercoating Hard Charger of the Race.

Despite finishing in 18th, Jordan Hutton's moves throughout the race's first half awarded him the Maguire Family of Dealerships Magnificent Move of the Race. Hutton was involved in a crash in the final laps to end his night.

Up next for the CRSA Sprints is their first two-in-two of the year at Outlaw Speedway Friday and Woodhull Raceway Saturday for the first races in the Dandy Triple Play.

GAUGE GARCIA SLIDES INTO 64TH JOHNNY KEY CLASSIC VICTORY LANE AT OCEAN SPEEDWAY

WATSONVILLE, CALIFORNIA (August 10, 2024) – Lemoore’s Gauge Garcia used an old-school Ocean Speedway low line maneuver in turns three and four to prevail over Bud Kaeding of San Jose and win the 64th Johnny Key Classic on Saturday night in Watsonville. Garcia slid past Kaeding in the fourth turn on lap 29, then led over a green-white-checkered finish for the $3,000 win.

“I have no idea man. Even a blind squirrel finds a nut every now and then. I happened to hit (the bottom) once and I stuck with it and it was great,” Garcia said. “It was a great night and I’m so excited to be here. This is not realistic right now. About halfway through that race if you told me I was going to win, I would have said you were crazy.”

Friday runner-up and 1996 Key Classic winner Kaeding led the 27 entries in time trials. He also made a bold outside pass to win the dash race for the pole position for the 30-lap feature.

Kaeding led the first six laps through a series of restarts with Arizona’s Ashton Torgerson hot on his trail. Torgerson drove into the lead on lap seven in turn one but the move was nullified by a caution flag.

Torgerson and Caeden Steele of Fresno squared off for second place with Steele using the bottom to take the position on lap 10. The race saw six restarts in the first 16 laps with Garcia advancing from tenth on the grid into third by that point, using the bottom to pass Friday winner Tanner Carrick of Lincoln.

Hanford’s DJ Netto spun on the front stretch out of a top-ten position with six laps to go for a caution flag. On the restart, Garcia drove underneath Steele for second then attempted to do the same on Kaeding. Garcia’s attempts bore fruit when he slid past Kaeding in turn four to lead lap 29. The white flag was followed by a caution flag when Kyle Rasmussen spun in turn two. Garcia preserved the lead position for the restart. Kaeding tried the top down the backstretch but got a slight piece of the wall, allowing Garcia some separation.

Garcia took the win over Kaeding and 16th-starting Sean Becker of Roseville. Becker was credited with the Tribute to JP Morgan / Mr. Pickles of Morgan Hill $250 Hard Charger. Steele and Clayton’s Joey Ancona rounded out the top-five.

Salinas’ Caleb Debem finished eighth, allowing the 18-year-old to wrap up the 2024 Ocean Sprints presented by Taco Bravo championship as well.

Santa Cruz’ Logan Mitchell won his fifth Western Midget Racing feature of the season and closed in on the championship battle with 2023 champion Bryant Bell of Oakley in the process. The 25-lap win during the Johnny Key Classic paid $1200 as part of the WMR Triple Crown Series.

“I just wanted to win so bad. We’ve been podiuming every race and been in the hunt, just needed that one difference of starting first.” Mitchell said.

Mitchell won the fast heat race for the pole position for the feature. Idaho’s Teddy Bivert topped Arizona’s Drake Edwards to win the second heat race to set the fourth row starting positions as well.

Friday winner Anthony Bruno of San Jose leapt ahead of Mitchell at the start of the feature from the outside pole. Last-place starter Bell and eighth-place starter Edwards drove into third and fourth respectively. Bell’s bid for a podium finish ended when he stopped in turn one with just two laps to go. He would ultimately be scored ninth.

Mitchell followed Bruno closely. He tried the outside on the backstretch on lap 13 but couldn’t complete a pass. Bruno swung wide exiting turn two on the next lap, allowing Mitchell to cross over from the top to the bottom to take the lead. Mitchell led the final 11 circuits for the win followed by Bruno, Edwards, Adrianna DeMartini of Brentwood, and Nichols.

Joe Gallaher won his seventh Hobby Stock feature of the year in a 20-lap race. Cody Keldsen led the field while the Gallaher family was a part of exciting battling behind him. Bobby Gallaher suffered a flat left rear tire and spun, bringing out a caution on lap eight. He was able to get a new tire on and rejoin the race.

Trent Golden of Pittsburg seized the lead on the restart with Joe Gallaher advancing into second as well. The pair ran side-by-side before Gallaher took over the spot on lap 13. A caution flew on lap 14 for Adriane Frost of Watsonville with a flat left rear tire as well but she also rejoined the action after a pit stop.

Gallaher, Golden, Rob Gallaher, Bobby Gallaher, and Sam Kennedy were the top-five finishers.

Ocean Speedway returns on Friday August 16 with the Terry Traub Memorial for Hobby Stocks plus IMCA Modifieds, IMCA Sport Mods, Four Bangers, and South Bay Dwarf Cars.

Must See Racing Perfit Sprint Car Series

MARNE, Mich. (Aug. 10, 2024) – After his performance Saturday night with the Must See Racing Perfit Sprint Car Series, Canadian Ryan Litt has begun to turn Berlin Raceway into somewhat of a second home.

Litt surged past reigning series champion Jason Blonde in turn four on lap 22 of a 30-lap feature, moments before Blonde slowed dramatically with a flat right-rear tire.

He never trailed after that, leading the final nine laps en route to his third straight win in the tour’s fall date at the seven-sixteenths-mile oval. It marked Litt’s fourth Must See Racing feature victory overall.

Saturday was also Litt’s first series victory since becoming a father back in February, with six-month-old daughter Everly in attendance.

“He [Blonde] snookered me on the start. I almost spun out in between [turns] one and two,” Litt laughed. “But he’s always fun to race here. He is one of the best at this track, but you know he’s going to race you clean.

“I saw him smoking and sparking going into three late there, and I had a little run and took it,” Litt added. “It was a good race. Pretty nerve-wracking with a bunch of cautions at the end, but we made it work.”

Reigning series rookie-of-the-year Kevin Mingus started from the pole after an inversion roll of eight prior to the main, but it was Dorman Snyder who jumped out to the early advantage from the outside of the front row.

Snyder led the first eight laps in Wayne Stickney’s familiar No. 99, before Blonde came roaring past by using his traditional high side speed to gain control on the ninth rotation.

Blonde tried to check out at that point, but Litt was hot on his heels, moving quickly past Snyder into second and then lurking less than a second behind Blonde until just before the halfway point.

Snyder then slowed working lap 16 – a flat right-rear tire the culprit – but was able to make a tire change and return, while Litt and Blonde scrapped for the lead on the ensuing restart.

With 10 to go, Litt rocketed closer to Blonde’s rear bumper, before making what would ultimately be the pass for the win in the fourth corner after shooting all the way to the apron to avoid Blonde’s slowing car.

The reigning champ wasn’t done, however.

After getting a replacement tire and restarting on the tail of the lead lap in eighth, Blonde roared around the third lane on a lap-23 restart, passing six cars in half a lap to regain the runner-up position.

“I figured he had a flat tire or broke,” said Litt of Blonde. “I couldn’t believe he got back up there, though. “I was ready for the restart, and he pulled up beside me … I was like, ‘What the heck?’”

Despite the sudden surge, Blonde had nothing left to get back past Litt, even with a two-lap sprint to the finish after Davey Hamilton Jr. slowed with a blown engine to bring out the night’s final caution flag.

“I surprised myself, to be honest with you,” Blonde admitted of his move to get back toward the front. “I didn’t think it was going to be that good, because we put a used tire on, but it just shows how good the car was … especially out in clean air when we were leading. I didn’t think I'd be the second place car by that first lap [after the restart], though.

“Just hats off to the guys. After qualifying and the heat race, we were just a little free, and I got my tires really hot – almost blistering hot. We had to make a couple spring changes, but it brought the car to life. Not quite enough in those last few laps.”

British Columbia’s Aaron Willison completed the podium, giving Canada two of the top three finishers.

Bobby Komisarski and Kevin Mingus, locked in a duel for the runner-up spot in the series standings, were fourth and fifth, respectively. Championship leader Joe Liguori crossed the line in sixth.

Leading Must See Racing Midwest Lights Series competitor Charlie Baur posted a career-best mark with the national series Saturday night, earning a ninth-place finish with his family-owned race team.

Willison kicked off the program with his second fast qualifying effort of the season, timing in at 13.355 seconds (117.933 mph) in the iconic Dick Myers-owned No. 50m car.

Teddy Alberts won the first eight-lap heat race, while Litt topped the eight-lap Engine Pro Fast Car Dash, which served as the night’s second heat.

The two-race Fast Car Dash mini-series points title – comprising both Must See Racing events this season at Berlin – unofficially went to Blonde. He earned the honor with a one-point margin over Litt.

The Must See Racing Perfit Sprint Car Series season continues Saturday, Aug. 31 at Owosso Speedway in Ovid, Mich., where Willison captured his first win on the tour back in June.

ANTHONY BRUNO WINS FIRST OCEAN WMR EVENT DURING JOHNNY KEY KICK OFF

WATSONVILLE, CALIFORNIA (August 10, 2024) – San Jose’s Anthony Bruno won his second career Western Midget Racing feature and his first at his home Ocean Speedway in a thriller against Santa Cruz Logan Mitchell on Friday night in Watsonville. The event paid $500 to win, kicking off the 64th Johnny Key Classic and the second weekend of the WMR Triple Crown Series.

“Honestly it means the world to me,” Bruno said. “I grew up coming here with my grandparents and my mom and dad would take me all the time when I was young. I always wanted to win here.”

Bruno’s Boscacci Racing teammates Adrianna DeMartini of Brentwood and 2023 champion Bryant Bell of Oakley won the eight-lap heat races.

Bruno lined up alongside Adam Weisberg of Santa Clarita for the 20-lap feature. Weisberg had a slow start which also bottled up Delano’s Terry Nichols and dropped them out of the top-five. Bruno and Mitchell broke free from the pack immediately, then ran in lockstep throughout the contest.

Current points leader Bell ran in third for the first four laps before flipping wildly in turn three to end his evening.

Bruno earned the win over Mitchell, DeMartini, Nichols, and Todd Hawse of Moorpark. Bruno then spun a two-car inversion for Saturday’s fast heat which will set the starting line-up for the first three rows of the Saturday feature. The balance of the field will battle for positions seventh on back in the second heat race. Saturday’s feature pays $1200 to win and $150 to start.

TANNER CARRICK OPENS JOHNNY KEY CLASSIC WEEKEND WITH DOMINATING OCEAN SPRINTS WIN

WATSONVILLE, CALIFORNIA (August 9, 2024) – Lincoln’s Tanner Carrick dominated Friday’s Ocean Sprints presented by Taco Bravo feature, leading all 30-laps in the prelude to Saturday’s 64th Johnny Key Classic at Ocean Speedway in Watsonville. The win paid $2000 and gives Carrick momentum heading into the $3000 to win event on Saturday.

Caeden Steele of Fresno topped the 26 entries in time trials before Carrick scored the pole for the feature by winning the dash.

The opening lap saw excitement when Yuba City’s Seth Standley and Livermore’s Travis Labat banged wheels on the front stretch. Surprisingly the field was able to avoid a melee and racing resumed.

Penngrove’s Colby Johnson knifed through the fracas to drive from sixth starting position into third. Carrick approached traffic by the fifth lap and briefly had company from Steele in the second position. Carrick then accumulated a strong lead as he darted in and out of traffic. At halfway, Johnson found his way past Steele for second. Steele was then passed by Guage Garcia of Lemoore for third as well.

Grant Duinkerken of Riverdale and Cody Key of Fresno collided on the backstretch on lap 20, sending Key into a side-over-side flip. Johnson, Steele, and Gilroy’s Kurt Nelson were also gobbled up as they tried to avoid with Steele flipping as well. Duinkerken was the only car able to continue.

The incident erased a 5.4 second lead for Carrick and gave him a new customer to deal with in Garcia. Garcia tried to slide Carrick on the restart into turn one but was unable to complete a pass. Bud Kaeding then made a slider attempt on Garcia for second. On the second attempt on lap 22, the move stuck and Kaeding took over the position.

Kaeding closed in on Carrick as they approached lapped traffic with four to go but a caution fell for Burt Foland, Jr. of Campbell spinning in turn one. Carrick drove away on the restart with free real estate ahead of him for the win, followed by Kaeding, Garcia, points leader Caleb Debem, and Standley. Ashton Torgerson advanced ten positions to earn the JP Morgan and Mr. Pickles Hard Charger worth $200.

San Jose’s Anthony Bruno won his second career Western Midget Racing feature and his first at his home Ocean Speedway in a thriller against Santa Cruz Logan Mitchell.

Adrianna DeMartini of Brentwood and 2023 champion Bryant Bell of Oakley won the eight-lap heat races.

Bruno lined up alongside Adam Weisberg of Santa Clarita for the 20-lap feature. Weisberg had a slow start which also bottled up Delano’s Terry Nichols. Bruno and Mitchell broke free and ran in lockstep throughout the contest worth $500 to win, kicking off the second weekend of the WMR Triple Crown.

Current points leader Bell ran in third for the first four laps before flipping wildly in turn three to end his evening.

Mitchell hounded the back bumper of Bruno as they built up a comfortable advantage over DeMartini in third. Mitchell made his move on the outside coming to the checkered flag but fell short by a nose. Bruno earned the win over Mitchell, DeMartini, Terry Nichols of Delano, and Todd Hawse of Moorpark. Bruno then spun a two car inversion for Saturday’s fast heat which will set the starting line up for the first three rows of the feature. The balance of the field will battle for positions seventh on back in the second heat race.

2023 Hobby Stocks champion Joe Gallaher drove worst to first to grab his seventh win of the season in a 20-lap main event. His grandson Bobby Gallaher worked to the outside of Watsonville’s Adriane Frost to seize the lead at the start.

Joe Gallaher passed his son Rob Gallaher for second on lap 12 then closed in on Bobby. Grandpa took over the lead on lap 15 on the inside in turn three and never relinquished it. The three generations of Gallaher finished one-two-three with Joe, Bobby, and Rob followed by Frost and Reeder.

Gilroy’s TJ Santos made the most of his first Four Bangers start of the season by leading the 15-lap feature wire-to-wire. Santos won his heat race as well.

Original pole sitter Kenny Stragalinos of Boulder Creek had to start at the rear after his car stalled on the first attempt at a start. Stragalinos drove into third around the outside of Travis Vangilder of Felton on lap six. Stragalinos quickly moved past Nicole Beardsley into second on lap seven but the move would be nullified by a crash in turn four.

Peter Vannerus and Ken Keagan tangled in the fourth turn, resulting in Keagan flipping over onto his roof to draw a red flag. He was uninjured.

The incident took away a six second lead that Santos had built up over the pack. Stragalinos challenged Beardsley before completing the pass on lap 16 for second. He was unable to make up ground on Santos’ 3.4 second advantage at that point.

Santos grabbed victory over Stragalinos, Beardsley, Van Gilder, and Vannerus.

The 64th Johnny Key Classic hits the track on Saturday night with Ocean Sprints presented by Taco Bravo, Western Midget Racing, and Hobby Stocks. Adult tickets are $25. Spectator gates open at 3:30pm with mud packing and hot laps at 4:15pm

Saturday’s Johnny Key Classic finale is $3,000 to win, $1,000 for second, and $800 for third. Each night will have a guaranteed $300 to start the main event. Extra money will also be on the line for fast time and hard charger both nights in memory of JP Morgan, who considered the Key Classic to be his favorite event.

New York 2, PA 2 at Tri City Raceway Park

(Franklin, PA August 4, 2024); Before a packed house on Fan Appreciation Night courtest of Webco Industries, Inc., the winners at Tri-City Raceway Park, on Sunday night were Matt Farnham in the Krill Recycling 410 Sprint Cars, Erick Rudolph in the 21st Century Energy Group Modifieds, John Mollick in the 4 Your Car Connection RUSH Sprints, and Hunter Exley in the Hovis Auto & Truck Supply Pro Stocks. In addition to an exciting night of racing, the fans were treated to an autograph session with IndyCar veteran Santino Ferruci.

For the 20 lap feature for the Krill Recycling 410 Sprints, Brandon Spithaler and Jeremy Weaver received front row spots in the redraw for the top eight starting positions. Usually, front row starting spots are highly coveted and considered extremely lucky, but on this night they were not lucky at all. On the initial start, Weaver was involved in an incident in turn two that forced a complete restart, sending him to the tail of the field. This moved original third starting Brandon Matus to the outside of the front row for the next attempted start. The race went green, but Spithaler fell off the pace on the backstretch, as seventh starting Matt Farnham slipped through to take the lead as lap one was scored. Spithaler's slowing machine drew the caution, and he was pushed to the pits under the yellow. Matus, who had inherited the front row spot, also stopped during the caution and exited the race, as the top three starters on the grid never made it to lap two. Farnham continued to lead when the race restarted, with fifth starting Tyler Esh taking up the chase. The New Yorker, Farnham, was strong in the lead, pulling to a comfortable margin as the green flag laps clicked by. Farnham raced home the winner for the second time this season, and his third career win at the track. Esh was second, 4.195 seconds behind at the checkered flag. A.J. Flick finished third with Bob Felmlee fourth, as they battle for the lead in the point standings. After this event, Felmlee’s lead is down to a single point. Floridian Connor Morrell was fifth in his first ever visit, with Weaver recovering to finish sixth. John Jerich, Carl Bowser, Nathen McDowell, and Andy Cavanaugh rounded out the top ten. Weaver and Farnham were the heat race winners.

It took three tries to get the 21st Century Energy Group Modified feature going, but once it did it raced non-stop to the finish. Erick Rudolph continued his mastery of Tri-City in 2024, racing to his fifth feature event of the season. The New York veteran will be the odds-on favorite to win the Ryder Memorial for the BRP Tour on August 18. Chad Reitz ran a solid second throughout the twenty lap distance, finishing 5.658 seconds behind. Heat race winner Rick Regalski was third, with Steve Slater fourth and Tom Holden fifth.

In the 4 Your Car Connection RUSH Sprints, a special format was used as two heat races were run with the top three finishers from each going to the dash presented by Marsh Heating & Cooling. John Mollick and Blaze Myers were heat winners. Myers won the dash win to earn the pole position for the twenty lap feature race, flanked by Gale Ruth, Jr. Myers moved to the early lead, as fourth starting Mollick was up to challenge. On lap two, point leader Mollick moved to the outside of Myers and was ahead by a nose before clearing him for the lead on lap three. After a caution period on lap nine, Mollick continued to lead, but on a later restart on lap fifteen, Myers was able to challenge him for the top spot. Later caution periods on laps eighteen and nineteen would extend the race to twenty-one laps, as per track rules there must be two laps run to finish a main. The restarts gave Myers extra chances, but Mollick stayed in front to earn his fourth feature of the season, and fifth in the division. Myers settled for a close second over Ruth, Arnie Kent, and Brent Rhebergen.

The twenty lap Pro Stock feature event went to Hunter Exley for his first win in the Ho-City Raceway Park will vis Auto & Truck Supply division. He became the fifty-sixth different winner in 299 races held since 1996. Exley took command early in the event from third starting spot and raced home the winner. Jake Whitling had his best finish of the season in second, holding off Chris Schneider in third. Tim Bish and Pat Fielding rounded out the top five, with point leader Rod Laskey sixth. Heat race winners were Fielding and Schneider. John Mollick leads the way in the Marsh Heating & Cooling Heat Race Challenge, with five wins.

Next week, Tri-City Raceway Park will present its only Super Late Model Race of the season. The ULMS Late Model Series will roar into town. Current Series points leader, Michael Lake, is gunning for his first series championship.

Seeing Double? Hillier Takes Two Wins at Skagit Speedway

8/3/24

By Kaleb Hart

Alger, WA - At the age of 14 and almost 3 months, Levi Hillier pulled off what many strive for but never achieve - winning the sprint car features in two different divisions at Skagit Speedway on the same night.

The first victory of the night came in the Sportsman Sprint division, where Levi had a relatively easy go of things, leading all twenty five laps of the feature unchallenged for the win. The victory was his third of the year in the Sportsman Sprint division. Jesson Jacobson and Steve Parker dueled for second and third place with Jacobson coming out on top. Parker set quick time and won his heat race. Hillier won heat two with Kai Dixon winning heat three.

The follow up feature for Hillier upped the level of difficulty, as he started on the front row next to the always fast Trey Starks. Levi would get the jump going into turn one, with Starks pursuing him around the low groove. Trey took a look multiple times to the low side of both sets of corners but never found the forward drive to pull even with Levi, as Hillier used the high side to maintain his lead while the pair raced into traffic. A close call with a slower car forced Levi to have to slam the door on the low groove in turn three hard around lap 10, but that’s as close as Starks could eventually get. Despite having one of the Northwest’s best no further than three car lengths back of him for the majority of the main, it was Hillier coming out on top for his second win of the night and his first in the 360 division aboard the Rudeen Racing sprint car. With his victory, Levi became the second youngest 360 winner in track history behind Colby Thornhill’s win at 14 years and 1 month in 2020. Starks and Cam Smith rounded out the podium. Smith was fast time on the night, while heat wins went to Starks, Hillier, Jesse Schlotfeldt and Colton Heath.

The Skagit Aggregates IMCA Modifieds ere back in action on Saturday night and it was Jeff Westergard racing to his second win of the season. Ben Gunderson had led since lap two but under caution on lap 16, he lost air pressure in his right front tire and had to head to the pits to change it. Westergard, who had battled from deep up to second place, inherited the lead and went the rest of the way for the win. James Bundy took second while Gunderson raced his way back up the field for third. Westergard won his heat race, with Rick Smith winning the other heat.

Kalib Henry switches lanes and gets 3rd Fremont 410 win; Jamie Miller does same and takes non-wing victory; Dustin Keegan holds on for truck win

By Brian Liskai

FREMONT, Ohio – For 25 laps Kalib Henry and DJ Foos battled for the lead of the 410 sprint car A-main at Fremont Speedway presented by Gill Construction. The duo swapped the top spot several times but a caution with five laps to go and a decision by Henry to change lanes took him to his third win of the year at “The Track That Action Built” on Sandusky County Chamber of Commerce/Sandusky County Visitors Bureau/Sandusky County Economic Development/City of Fremont Night.

Foos led the first 13 laps of the Fort Ball Pizza Palace 410 Sprint A-main with sixth starter Henry leading laps 14-18. Foos regained the top spot on lap 19 with Henry taking the lead back on lap 21. Foos drove under Henry, who was committed to the top ledge of the track, on lap 24 with Henry back to the point right as the caution flew on lap 25.

On the ensuing restart Henry, from Sacramento, California, opted to drive to the bottom of turns one and two and that was the winning move as he pulled away for the win over Foos, Zane DeVault, Cap Henry and Sean Rayhall. The win pads Henry’s lead in the track’s points.
Cap Henry’s 10th to fourth place run will close the gap on 12th place finisher Cale Thomas’ advantage in the All Pro Aluminum Cylinder Heads/Kistler Racing Products Attica Fremont Championship Series presented by the Baumann Auto Group.

“I kept seeing DJ poke his nose and I knew I needed to do something different there…I wasn’t sure because I hadn’t been down there the whole race. I kept driving over the edge down in one and two…the cushion rolled up over the top and I knew I had to change something up. I had to change something up on the restart. I can’t thank Jim and Rebecca Muth enough for the opportunity. I know my parents are headed to Knoxville so they’re screaming at the phone driving there. I can’t wait to see them tomorrow,” said Henry beside his Running Boxer Farms, Harris Distributing Company, Valvoline, K1, Berryman Racing Shocks, Chalkstix backed #101.

Fremont’s Jamie Miller has won in 305 winged sprints and dirt trucks at Fremont in 2024. He added a non-wing victory Saturday in a thrilling battle with Aiden Salisbury in the first ever appearance of the American Sprint Car Tour at Fremont Speedway. Salisbury lead the first three laps before Miller, who started third, took over. The pair raced side by side with Miller up top and Salisbury on the bottom. Salisbury retook the lead on lap 21 but Miller moved to the bottom on the race track in turns three and four as they raced to the white flag, and took the lead and 51st career win at Fremont over Salisbury, Tyler Miller, Larry Kingseed and Brian Smith.

“I was good up top but it was starting to get tight and I messed up a couple of times and I knew that allowed him to close a couple of times but I knew he couldn’t get by me or away from me. He left the bottom wide open and on the white flag I said hell with it I’m going to the bottom and it stuck like glue,” said Miller.

The Burmeister Trophy Dirt Trucks also put on a thrilling feature event. Former track champion Dustin Keegan lead the opening lap before Kent Brewer took over for a lap with fifth starter and current point leader Keith Sorg moving into the lead on lap three. Sorg led until lap nine when Keegan regained the top spot with Sorg battling back to the point on lap 12. On a restart, Keegan moved to the lead once again. Keegan held off several challenges from Sorg the final seven laps to score his second win of 2024 and the 11th of his career at the track. Sorg, Jamie Miller, Shawn Valenti and Brewer rounded out the top five.

“I have two compressed vertebra in my lower back so it’s painful out there. I want to thank my dad, my girlfriend and all the sponsors who help on this truck,” said Keegan beside his Sonny’s Signs, Burmeister Trophy, Jeff Ward Demolition backed #17x.

Fremont Speedway will be back in action Saturday, Aug. 10 with the first ever appearance of the RPM Flat Track Motorcycles in action.

Bud Kaeding wins one for Davy on Friday at Ocean Speedway

Watsonville, CA…On a night that he performed a Memorial Lap for the late Davy Thomas, former Ocean Sprints champion Bud Kaeding capped the event by claiming his second victory of the 2024 campaign.

Kaeding grabbed the lead early on and held off a fast Caeden Steele to earn the emotional triumph. In victory lane, the veteran dedicated his win to Davy, who grew up a big fan of the multi-time Silver Crown champ. It was also the final tune-up prior to next week’s Johnny Key Classic, with purse details included at bottom of this story.

Ocean Speedway also honored the late Diane Morgan on Friday night with a very special Memorial Lap and extra money on the line for the IMCA Modifieds. At the end it was Salinas driver Cody Burke making a late pass for the $1,000 grand prize.

Sharing victory lane on Friday were Tracy’s KC Keller with the IMCA Sport Mods and Ocean point leader Joe Gallaher with the Hobby Stocks.

The 30-lap Ocean Sprints presented by Taco Bravo feature began with the night’s fast qualifier Jake Haulot jumping into the lead. The track surface was in phenomenal shape and lent itself to some excellent racing in all classes.

Kaeding utilized a beautiful move to slice his way into the top spot on lap four and then rode the cushion to perfection. Northern Auto Racing Club Rookie of the Year contender Caeden Steele made a rare Ocean Sprints start and moved into second place on lap 11.

Steele kept Kaeding within striking distance on several restarts and made it a race for the lead as it wound down. Kaeding hit his marks to perfection though and crossed under the Ed Entz checkered flag for victory over Steele. Riverdale’s Grant Duinkerken made a wild final corner pass upstairs to take third at the line over Joey Ancona and Haulot.

The 25-lap IMCA Modified feature in memory of Diane Morgan started with Fred Lind battling it out with Austin Burke up front. Burke took command on lap two but soon felt intense pressure from Cody Burke after moving into second on lap eight.

The Burke boys kept fans on the edge of their seats while racing closely together for the duration of the contest. Coming to the white flag Austin slipped up just enough to allow an opening for Cody, who took full advantage, slipping to his inside and taking over the point.

Cody Burke went on to tally the victory over Austin, Lind, Jacob Mallet Jr. and a very racy Robert Marsh.

The 20-lap IMCA Sport Mod finale saw Mike Gill lead the opening lap, until getting crossed up in turns one and two, looping it around. Recent winner KC Keller then found himself out front and had his way with things, en route to his second triumph of the Ocean Speedway year.

Point leader Emali VanHoff crossed the stripe in second, ahead of Brian Baggett, Steven Allee and Chuck Golden.

The 20-lap Hobby Stock main event was all about defending track champion and current point leader Joe Gallaher. The Virginia native got out front and raced to his sixth victory of the season at the quarter mile.

Track favorite Terry Campion returned to action on Friday and brought home a solid runner up finish, with the top-five rounded out by Bobby Gallaher, Adriane Frost and Norm Ayers.

Ocean Speedway now gears up for the two-night running of the 64th Johnny Key Classic. Opening night on Friday hands out $2,000 to the Ocean Sprints winner, while Saturday’s finale is $3,000 to win; $1,000 for second and $800 for third.

Each night will be a guaranteed $300 to start the main event. Extra money will also be on the line for fast time and hard charger both nights in memory of JP Morgan, who considered the Key Classic to be his favorite event.

HATTIESBURG, MS – FRIDAY, AUGUST 2ND, 2024 - Former USCS National Champion Jordan Mallett of Greenbrier, AR won Night 1 of the United Sprint Car Series Presented By K&N Filters Summer Sprint Car Shootout on Friday night at Hattiesburg Speedway. Mallett took the lead from his outside front row starting spot at the start of the race and led all 25 laps.

Two-time USCS National Champion Morgan Turpin-Havener of Gallatin, TN took the second spot and Dale Howard of Byhalia, MS started 18th and finished third to earn the Wilwood Brakes Hard Charger Award. Michael Miller of Pascagoula, MS was fourth.

The defending and 15-time USCS National Champion National Sprint Car Hall of Fame Inductee Terry Gray of Bartlett, TN drove to a fifth-place finish. Brandon Blendon of Gulfport, MS finished sixth and Blake Mallette of Vancleve, MS took the seventh spot. Jake Brashier of Denham Springs, LA was eighth, with ninth going to Jeff Willingham of Ripley, MS. Hannah Merritt of Nesbit, MS rounded out the top ten.

In preliminary action, Blenden won the six-lap Hoosier Racing Tire Speed Dash to earn the Pole Position for the 25-lap Feature Race. The three eight-lap Heat Races were won by Gray in the Engler Machine & Tool First Heat Race, Blenden in the Butlerbuilt Racing Products Second Heat Race, and Mallett in the Racing Electronics Third Heat.

It took three tries to start the Feature Race, as Willingham spun in turn one on the first lap, and then Butch David of Geismar, LA flipped on the complete restart and landed on a light pole. The power had to be turned off to remove David from the car, but he was uninjured. Once the car was removed from the light pole, the power was turned back on the field tried again.

The third time was the charm, as Mallett took the lead followed by Blendon, Turpin-Havener, Gray and Mallett. The red flag was once again displayed when Kevin Baham of Amite, LA flipped in turn one. He climbed out O.K. Howard made a big move on the restart, climbing into the fifth position. The caution was waved on lap five when Parker Davis of Mobile, AL spun in turn four.

The top five for the restart were Mallett, Blenden, Turpin-Havener, Gray and Howard. When the field went back to green flag racing, Howard got by Gray to take the fourth spot. On lap six, Turpin-Havener and Howard got by Blenden for second and third respectively, and Miller passed Gray for fifth.

Miller passed Blenden for fourth on lap seven, and Gray moved back into the top five on lap eight getting around Blenden. The last caution flag of the race came out on lap 12 when Dustin Burtron of Seminole, FL stalled on the backstretch. The top five for the restart was Mallett, Turpin-Havener, Howard, Miller and Gray.

Mallett pulled away and by lap 19, the leader had put four lapped cars between himself and Turpin-Havener. Howard passed Turpin-Havener for second on lap 21, but the “Queen of the Wings” came right back on lap 22 to reclaim the second spot. When Mallett took the white flag, he had three lapped cars between himself and Turpin-Havener to seal the deal to the checkered flag.

Spreading out the leading position early, Karter Sarff would set the pace of the feature with Hayden Reinbold and Ryan Timms battling closely for the runner-up positioning with Gavin Miller, and Zach Daum keeping close within the top five as Ashton Torgerson, Mitchell Davis, Shannon McQueen, Cannon McIntosh, and Corbin Rueschenberg all ran inside the top ten.

Hitting the mid-point of the feature with Karter Sarff still leading, Ryan Timms would take over second as Hayden Reinbold, Zach Daum, Ashton Torgerson, and Gavin Miller kept within one second of the lead in an outstanding battle within the top set of competitors.

Hitting heavy lap traffic in the final five laps, Karter Sarff would not be denied in gaining his second seasonal victory with Ryan Timms closing late to finish the runner-up as Hayden Reinbold finalized the podium placements in a hard-fought feature.

“I feel like we have a special feel for this place, and it’s become one of my favorite places to come,” said the celebratory Karter Sarff in the I-55 Raceway winner’s circle. Adding, “I was just focused on hitting my marks, about halfway through I felt myself starting to struggle but then I found my marks better and was able to clear my head.”

Flying through the field would find Zach Daum finish fourth with Ashton Torgerson rounding out the POWRi National Midget League, running in conjunction with the Xtreme Outlaw Midget Series presented by Toyota, top-five finishers at Federated Auto Parts I-55 Raceway in support of the Ironman 55.

HUTTON STEALS WIN FROM TROMBLEY IN LAST LAP PASS AT FONDA

Race Report By: Marty Czekala – July 28, 2024

FONDA, N.Y. – Two drivers went into the night at Fonda Speedway looking to tie a record.

Jordan Hutton looked to tie the record for CRSA wins at Fonda with four. On the other hand, Jeff Trombley looked to tie the CRSA all-time high in wins with 14.

In the end, Hutton went around the outside of Trombley on the final lap in turn two to score his third win of the season and go two-for-two in the I-90 Pit Stop Challenge.

“It means a lot to win at Fonda,” said Hutton, whose win rate at Fonda is at 44 percent. “Just a tough season. Lost a lot of motors and different things. We really needed this.”

It was heartbreak again for Trombley, the four-time series champion. The last time we saw Trombley at Afton, his engine expired with under 10 laps to go. This time, a cylinder dropped on the final lap.

“I knew on the restarts I could get him so many times,” said Trombley post-race. “I knew that was my only shot to get him. Once I got out front, I was gonna take his line.”

Hutton redrew the pole in his No. 66 with Blake Warner to the outside. Warner got the jump at the drop of Tyler Groescup’s green. Hutton looked low on lap two, but Warner cleared and opened up the lead.

The 1.6-second lead would disappear violently on lap seven when Warner's No. 21B darted up the track and slammed hard into the turn four wall, cartwheeling, catching fire, and even piercing the catch fence. Warner would walk away from his destroyed X-1 chassis uninjured.

That gave Hutton the lead where he would hold serve on Trombley. The latter would peek low numerous times but couldn’t get it to stick. This would begin a long run in which Hutton would run away, opening the lead up to 2.8 seconds while in lapped traffic. The run would end with three laps to go as Link Pettit crept to a snail’s pace in turn four.

This would set up a four-lap sprint to the finish. On the restart, Trombley would send it downstairs on Hutton in turn two and try to take away Hutton’s line to go out front.

As if Trombley had the win and just had to make no mistakes, the dropped cylinder allowed Hutton to sneak past and take his fourth win at Fonda by under a second, tying Danny Varin and Mike Kiser for the most wins at "The Track of Champions."

“I saw him go low entering one when the white flag came out; I said, 'I got him now,'" said Hutton. "Today marks 20 years since I lost my grandfather. It means a lot to my father and my whole family.”

Despite the dropped cylinder, Trombley limped the No. 3a home in second, tying his best finish of the year at Weedsport, the other I-90 Pit Stop Challenge event.

“The car is going good,” said Trombley. “Every track we go to, this car is good. I went five years without an engine glitch. Now they’re catching up.”

Dalton Herrick rounded out the podium in third, matching his best finish from Afton May 31.

“That’s one of the best cars I’ve had here in a feature at Fonda,” Trombley explained. “It’s about momentum and balance. I was too tight [in heat races]. We got lucky they did some track prep and turned the track around.”

Mike Kiser was given the Maguire Family of Dealerships Magnificent Move of the Race, receiving a $25 bonus.

Cliff Pierce was awarded the Powdertech Powdercoating Hard Charger, starting 20th and finishing 14th, receiving $25.

21 drivers checked into Fonda tonight.

The A-Verdi Storage Containers CRSA Sprints powered by SuperGen Products head to another BD Motorsports Media track next week, Utica-Rome Speedway in Vernon, for round three of the I-90 Pit Stop Challenge Friday. Can’t make it? Watch the action live on FloRacing.

BRYANT BELL CONTINUES STRONG RUNS IN WMR WITH FIRST ANTIOCH VICTORY

ANTIOCH, CALIFORNIA (July 28, 2024) – 2023 Western Midget Racing champion Bryant Bell of Oakley earned a coveted home track victory, taking his first career Antioch WMR win on Saturday night after a thrilling duel with his Boscacci Racing teammate Anthony Bruno of San Jose. Bell’s victory was also his fourth consecutive triumph in the WMR tour.

Delano’s Terry Nichols started on the pole for the 20-lap feature with Bruno quickly in pursuit. Nichols held off a furious challenge from Bruno, Bell, and Santa Cruz’ Logan Mitchell for a few laps before Bell took over the top spot on the front stretch on lap three. Bruno followed into second place while Mitchell and Nichols battled behind them for third.

The first caution of the feature flew on lap seven for Todd Hawse of Moorpark in turns three and four. He was able to rejoin the race.

On the restart, Bruno attempted to slide his teammate Bell into turn three. He then crossed over to the outside of Bell down the backstretch to nab the lead on lap eight.

The duo raced side-by-side for the top spot with Bell driving back into the lead on lap 12. Bruno clawed back to Bell before the last caution of the event with two to go. Bryant Bell held court over the final laps and won his first career Antioch Speedway victory with WMR followed closely by Bruno and Mitchell. Nichols finished fourth with Hawse charging back to fifth.

The second round of the 2024 Western Midget Racing Triple Crown is up next on August 9 and 10 for the Johnny Key Classic at Ocean Speedway in Watsonville. Friday’s action pays $500 to win while Saturday’s feature will pay $1200 to win. Both nights also pay points towards the $1000 to win Triple Crown championship.

SONIC Night at Double X Speedway

California, MO

Sunday July 28, 2024

By: Dean Reichel

SONIC Night at Double X Speedway was held Sunday night with Winged Sprint Cars, Super Stocks and B Modifieds doing battle at the little bullring just outside of California, MO. SONIC Drive In of California has been a longtime supporter of local dirt track racing and had several activities for the fans in the stands to enjoy throughout the evening.

Spotty rain showers around the area along with a brief shower at 1:30 in the afternoon did not dampen the on track action. Two Super Stock heat races started off the racing action. In the first heat it was Eddie Keeran besting the field over fifth starting Darek Wiss driving the Jody Romig #12 in second, Steve Beach was third, Adam Halley finished fourth and Chris Romig was fifth. Heat two saw Clayton Campbell pick up the win over a hard charging James Nighswonger in his back up car, third was Dale Berry, Ryan Shikles was fourth and Zack Smith chalked up a DNF when his engine expired on lap seven.

The B Mod heat races took to the track next. In heat one Adam Hall picked up the victory over hard charging Tyler Potter, Sturgis Streeter crossed the strip in third with Richard Brainard crossing in fourth. The second heat saw Colson Kirk claiming the checkered flag with Tyler Imhoff in second, Austen Raybourn in third and Jared Riddle finishing fourth.

The 360 Winged Sprint Car heat races put a cap on the first half of the evening’s competition. Miles Paulus would use a hole shot on a complete restart to take the lead and the victory over young gun Garrett Benson in second. Ben Brown finished third, Tyler Blank was fourth, Adam Parmeley finished fifth and Emylee Yoder completed the top six. Darren Langford did not finish. Heat 2 saw Samuel Wagner post a convincing victory over the field. Brother Jack Wagner would steal second at the finish over Paul Solomon in third. Taylor Walton would finish fourth with Aubrey Smith in fifth and Blake Bowers in sixth. Broc Elliott was unable to start the race.

The Super Stock Feature saw numerous cautions for traction challenged drivers but veteran Clayton Campbell looked like he would add another checkered flag this season but as the laps wound down, James Nishwonger would drive past on the high side and pick up the win. Campbell would finish a solid second with Steve Beach crossing the stripe in third. Adam Halley would finish fourth and Ryan Shikles completed the top five. Chris Romig and Dale Berry did not finish and were credited with sixth and seventh. Two drivers were disqualified from the event for unsportsmanlike conduct, specifically rough driving, Eddie Keeran and Darek Wiss. Zach Smith was unable to start due to mechanical issues.

The B Modified feature would see Colson Kirk from Urbana take the lead at the green flag and race to a victory. Kirk was not challenged in the event becoming the eight different feature winner in twelve appearances by the class at Double X. Multi time winner Adam Hall would finish a solid second with Tyler Potter crossing the stripe in third, Sturgis Streeter claimed the fourth spot and Austen Raybourn would complete the top five. Tyler Imhoff, Richard Brainard and Jared Riddle completed the running order in 6th through 8th respectively.

The 360 Winged Sprint Cars closed out SONIC Night at the races with the traditional 25 lap feature event. Miles Paulus would take the lead at the start and run some smooth laps but by lap seven Jack Wagner had overtaken the top spot. The racing action was intense behind the top two as first Broc Elliott and then Tyler Blank began moving up through the field. Blank cracked the top four by lap 21 and the top three a lap later. At checkered it would be Jack Wagner by a straightaway over Tyler Blank whose charge ended at second place. Miles Paulus would ring up a third place finish with Samuel Wagner in fourth and Garrett Benson completing the top five. Broc Elliott advanced from 14th to sixth at the finish with Ben Brown in seventh, Taylor Walton would cross in eighth, Paul Solomon in ninth and Adam Parmeley at tenth. Emylee Yoder would complete the running cars at the checkered in eleventh.

Next Sunday night is season championship nught at Double X for 2024. Winged Sprint Cars, Super Stocks and Pure Stocks will be in competition. Awards will be presented after the evenings races.

Tanner Carrick, Anthony Slaney, Nick Baldwin and Mike Miller earn Carnett Clash wins

By Gary Thomas

Placerville, CA…An entertaining night of racing at the annual Carnett Clash was capped with Lincoln’s Tanner Carrick scoring his first Placerville Speedway win of the season on Saturday.

Sharing victory lane at the event were Anthony Slaney with the Mountain Democrat Ltd. Late Models, Nick Baldwin with the Red Hawk Casino Pure Stocks and Mike Miller with the Mountain Democrat Mini Trucks.

The 25-lap Thompson’s Family of Dealerships Winged 360 Sprint Car feature began with Tanner Carrick and youngster Austin Wood going at it for the lead.

The pair battled back and forth before Carrick assumed the point that he would never relinquish. Although Carrick officially led for the duration, it did not come easy for the driver of the TC Guide Service No. 83T.

Placerville’s Shane Hopkins moved into second around lap 11 and began to hound the rear of Carrick, while having to contend with Auburn’s Andy Forsberg at the same time. The trio raced close together for several laps in exciting fashion, but Carrick ran a near mistake free race up front.

Carrick went on to cross the Ron Stahl checkered flag for his eighth career Placerville Speedway Winged 360 triumph, tying Kalib Henry and Glen Boune on the all-time win list. Hopkins came home in second and became the new point leader by two markers ahead of third place finisher Forsberg.

Modesto’s Tony Gomes and Elk Grove’s Bubba Decaires rounded out the top-five. Completing the top-10 were Luke Hayes, Chance Grasty, Izaak Sharp, Austin Torgerson and Austin Wood.

The $1,000 to win Mountain Democrat Ltd. Late Model feature saw Martinez driver Anthony Slaney continue his impressive campaign. Live Oak’s Matt Micheli led the early laps as things clicked off fast and furious.

Slaney looked ultra-fast though as he charged around the high side of the quarter mile bullring. The current Placerville Speedway point leader took over the lead on lap 10 and went on to hold command for the extent, crossing the stripe for his fourth triumph of the season.

Rod Oliver gave it a strong run in second, followed by Micheli, Dan Brown Jr., and Ryan McDaniel.

The Red Hawk Casino Pure Stocks also showcased a tremendous 25-lap finale, which kept fans on the edge of their seats. Multiple drivers battled it out for the $750 grand prize as part of the Carnett Clash. Tommy Sturgeon led the first couple laps, before Placerville’s Tyler Lightfoot charged to the point.

Lightfoot has put together a solid campaign in the Pure Stock and cut smooth laps up front, while contending with five-time track champion Nick Baldwin. Lapped traffic made things interesting up front and at one point, Baldwin split the difference as he battled with Lightfoot for the top-spot.

With 18 laps complete Baldwin snagged the lead and would go on to lead the final seven circuits for his 30th career Placerville Speedway triumph. Lightfoot came home in second, followed by Kevin Jinkerson, Sturgeon and Wayne Trimble in the top-five.

Placerville’s Mike Miller continued his mastery of the Mountain Democrat Mini Truck division on Saturday, leading all 20 laps for victory. Luke Costa had one of his best career runs in second, followed by Austin Struthers, Thomas Jensen and Paizlee Miller.

Placerville Speedway returns to action this coming Saturday with the $8,500 to win Forni-Humphreys Classic.

Spithaler Seals the Deal in FAST on Dirt Sprints; Rudolph First in Modifieds, Cipriano in RUSH Mods, and Whitling in Pro Stocks

(Franklin, PA July 28, 2024): Brandon Spithaler rebounded from some recent adversity to take the win in the FAST on Dirt Sprint Car main event held at Tri City Raceway Park.

Returning after a short absence, Erick Rudolph claimed the win in the Modified class presented by 21st Energy Group. This was the first event conducted since the track merged its 358 Modifieds with the Big Blocks. Taking the Hovis Auto & Truck Supply Pro Stock feature was Bobby Whitling. Ayden Cipriano captured the RUSH Sportsmen Modified part of the program.

The FAST on Dirt 410 Sprints took on the Krill Recycling 410s for a twenty-five lapper. It was the second appearance of the year at the track for the FAST touring series.

Dylan Cisney and Cody Bova were on the front row, with Carl Bowser and Zane DeVault in row two. The third row belonged to Dale Blaney and Brandon Spithaler, the series points leader. Jeremy Weaver was sitting in for Andy Cavanaugh, and he rolled away in the seventh position. Jack Sodeman, Jr. was his running mate. Bob Felmlee and John Jerich made up row five. In the sixth row were Derek Hauck and Nathan McDowell.

Cisney jumped out front at the start of the FAST on Dirt Sprint Car race. Bova ran in second in the early going, followed by Spithaler, DeVault, Bowser, Blaney, Sodeman, Weaver, Felmlee, and Jerich.

Spithaler was quick around the top of the big Venango County oval. He moved into second by lap five. Two laps later, he claimed the lead coming off turn two.

Spithaler stretched his lead as the race progressed. Cisney continued in second, followed by Bova, DeVault, and Blaney. Not even lapped traffic slowed Spithaler’s rapid pace.

Spithaler, who demolished a car at the recent Don Martin Memorial, took the checkers ahead of Cisney, DeVault, Bova, and Blaney. Bowser led the next quintet, along with Weaver, Sodeman, Hauck, and Felmlee.

The heat winners in the FAST on Dirt Sprint Series were Cody Bova and Dale Blaney. There was no B Main. The evening’s fastest qualifier was Brandon Spithaler, with a time of 15.337.

At the start of heat two for the FAST on Dirt Sprint Cars, two time and defending track champion, A.J. Flick, tangled with the car of Zane DeVault right at the flagstand. Flick went over, but was not hurt. He was unable to start the feature event.

Chad Reitz had the pole for the start of the Modified twenty lapper for the 21st Century Energy Group sponsored division. Erick Rudolph was on his flank. Rex King, Jr. and Jeremiah Shingledecker were in row two. The third row paired up Austin Eyler and Steve Slater, who was back behind the wheel of his own car. Lenny Liebold, III tagged the tail.

Rudolph jumped out to the early lead, with Shingledecker , King, Reitz, and Eyler following. A spin by Liebold in turn two required a restart with one lap complete. On the restart, King powered into second. Soon thereafter, Slater moved ahead of Reitz for the fourth spot.

Rudolph’s Big Block led the remaining nineteen laps without incident. King was about ten car lengths back. Shingledecker cruised home in third. He was followed by Slater and Reitz. Eyler was sixth, with Liebold in seventh.

The heat winner of the 21st Century Energy Group Modifieds was Erick Rudolph. There was no B Main.

Aaron Smith and Mike Miller shared row one for the fifteen lap Hovis Auto & Truck Supply Pro Stock feature. Matt Bernard and Tyler Wyant were behind them. Then came Doug Iorio, II and Bobby Whitling. Pat Fielding and Jason Kimmy were paired in row four. The fifth row had Russ Coyne and Josh Seippel. Rod Laskey and Charlie McMillen had row six covered. Trailing the field was Randy Wyant.

Miller led the early going, with Tyler Wyant running second. Miller dropped out at lap five, giving the lead to Wyant for the restart. Bobby Whitling lined up next to him, and that proved to be the difference maker. Whitling got rolling on the outside and swooped into the lead on the restart.

A spin by McMillen in turn four, followed by a brief flare-up under the hood, led to a green-white-checkered finish.

Whitling led the rest of the way, with Wyant remaining close enough to capitalize on any mistakes that Whitling might make. There were none, so Wyant took home the second place money. Third went to Laskey, fourth to Coyne, and fifth to Bernard. Fielding, Kimmy, Iorio, McMillen, Randy Wyant were the next five finishers.

The Hovis Auto & Truck Supply Pro Stocks presented two heat races. The winners were Doug Iorio, II and Mike Miller. There was no B Main.

Brandon Ritchey was inside row one, with Ayden Cipriano as his dancing partner for the start of the RUSH Modified Sportsmen. Kole Holden and Logen Lockhart made up row two. The third row consisted of Lucas Canon, and Darin Gallagher. In row four, Frank Guidace and Chelsie Gallagher were found. The fifth row paired Karston King with Cole Edwards. The sixth row featured Troy McGregor and Makayla Shannon.

Cipriano took the early lead, and Ritchey, Kole Holden, Lockhart, and Darin Gallagher in the top five. The race went non-stop, with the top five remaining unchanged throughout. Canon, Guidace, Chelsie Gallagher, Edwards, and Karston King completed the top ten.

The RUSH Modified Sportsmen also competed in two heat races, with the wins going to Ayden Cipriano and Kole Holden. There was no B Main.

The Marsh Heating & Cooling Heat Race Challenge still has John Mollick at the top of the list, with four heat race victories.

Next weekend, Tri City Raceway Park will host a Sunday Thunder program, consisting of Krill Recycling 410 Sprint Cars, 21st Century Energy Group Modifieds, Hovis Auto & Truck Supply Pro Stocks, and 4 Your Car Connection RUSH Sprints.

Tanner Claims $4,000 in ESS Outlaw Summer Nationals

By Curtis Berleue (Dundee, NY) | For the first time in 2024, Matt Tanner was victorious in Empire Super Sprints Action at the Outlaw Speedway in Dundee, NY. Leading all 25 laps, the Stephentown, NY driver picked up $4,000 for his efforts on Friday night.

Shawn Donath and Matt Tanner brought the field to the initial green flag. Utilizing the high side of the track, Tanner got the early advantage off turn four to lead lap one.

Behind Tanner, third starting Jason Barney quickly moved into second, with Donath not far behind in third. By lap 5, Tanner still held the lead over Barney and Donath, while Jonathan Preston, Alex Therrien and Billy VanInwegen all battled for positions 4-6.

On Lap 8, Tanner caught the back of the field and began navigating lap traffic. As Tanner and Barney sliced through the slower cars, VanInwegen used traffic to his advantage to take sole possession of third place.

With the laps clicking by, it looked as though nobody had anything for Tanner. On lap 18, Donath was able to get by Barney for second using the extreme high side of the track, but it was smooth sailing for Tanner as he crossed the line for his first victory of the season.

“At the beginning there I was a little nervous running around the top,” said Tanner in victory lane. “Toward the end it felt like the top was going away, I tried the bottom and then it kinda cleaned off down there and I wasn’t sure what to do at the end.”

Crossing the line second was Shawn Donath.

“He (Tanner) was good early and it took a little bit for the tires to fire,” said Donath. “We were just a little bit too late getting going.”

Coming from his 8th place starting spot, Billy VanInwegen rounded out the Ashley Lynn Winery podium in third.

“We really had a good car, I thought with maybe a yellow around half way we could have had something,” said VanInwegen. “We can’t hang our heads with third, we’re working hard at this deal and making strides for sure.”

24 cars signed into the pit area Friday night, splitting the field into three timed hot lap groups. Rifenburg Contracting fast time awards went to Matt Farnham, Alex Therrien and Matt Tanner. E&V Energy heat races were won by Jared Zimbardi, Alex Therrien and Jordan Thomas, while the Cobra Coaches dash presented by Lanes Yamaha was won by Jordan Poirier.

The next scheduled event for the Empire Super Sprints is Saturday July 27th at the Woodhull Raceway in Woodhull, NY.

Zimbardi Leads Wire to Wire at Woodhull

By Curtis Berleue (Woodhull, NY) | For the second night in a row, it was a new face in victory lane in 2024 for the Empire Super Sprints, as Braford, PA’s Jared Zimbardi picked up his first win of the season Saturday night at Woodhull. Almost exactly one year from his last ESS victory, it was Zimbardi’s 6th ESS win and 51st career win.

After drawing the number two starting spot, Zimbardi used the high side to his advantage on lap one to take the lead over Pinnacle Pole Award winner Kyle Drum.

With 5 laps complete, it was still Zimbardi out front over Drum, with Jason Barney third, Shawn Donath 4th and Trevor Years fifth. On lap 6, Barney was able to sneak underneath of Drum coming off turn four to take the second position away. With much of the field using the high side of the track, Barney continued to creep the bottom in an attempt to chase down Zimbardi.

Just one caution coming on lap 7 slowed the event, and on the ensuing restart Zimbardi again jumped out to the lead over Barney, with Drum in third.

For the second night in a row, Billy VanInwegen was mounting a charge from deep in the field. Starting 10th, he had moved his way into the top five by lap 8. 5 laps later, he secured the fourth spot, and on lap 18 he slid into a podium spot in third.

While Zimbardi navigated lap traffic, VanInwegen was relentlessly running the bottom in an attempt to catch Barney for second, and with two laps to go he slid by him. It was too little too late, however, as Zimbardi’s half-second lead let him cross the line first.

“It was tough to see coming down the backstretch, I wasn’t sure but I knew he (Barney) was there,” said Zimbardi. “I certainly didn’t want to give him the bottom on that restart. You get a nice launch out of turn four, and if I could get him clear go to the top and if he didn’t get by me off of two I knew I was good.”

“Keeping the momentum was tricky around the top, you just miss it by a little bit and you’re off the racetrack. The last time I won here was in 2016, so we were long overdue.”

Finishing one spot better than the night before, Billy VanInwegen came home second, while Jason Barney rounded out the Ashley Lynn Winery podium.

“I didn’t feel good in the heat race, so we went to work and my guys kept making the car better for me,” said VanInwegen. “These guys just have no quit in them and I’m super thankful.”

In two timed hot lap groups, Jared Zimbardi and Shawn Donath earned Rifenburg Contracting fast time awards, while Jordan Thomas and Trevor Years picked up E&V Energy heat wins. The Cobra Coaches dash presented by Mary Ennis was won by Davie Franek.

Kurt tops Tyler in Davis family 1-2 PDTR 360 Sprint Car finish

Myers Jr., Sandholm earn initial A-main victories

(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) July 27, 2024 – If you were to describe the eighth Plymouth Dirt Track Racing program of the 2024 season on Saturday, July 27 in one word, “ordinary” most certainly wouldn’t be it.

Whether it was a father-son 1-2 finish, inspired runs from the back to the front of the field, a heaping helping of slide jobs, a pair of A-main leaders meeting misfortune in the same race, a father driving his daughter’s car to an A-main win or two incidents involving hard impacts with the outer wall and fence, action in the Akright Auto Plymouth Dirt Track Racing – Midwest Sprint Car Association 360 Sprint Cars, PDTR B Mods and the visiting Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car divisions provided Plymouth Dirt Track Racing fans with an abundance of wheel-to-wheel entertainment.

Two-time Akright Auto 360 Sprint Car champion Kurt Davis of South Milwaukee bested a career-best run from his son, Tyler, to capture his first A-main victory at The Plymouth Dirt Track in over three years as the Davis’ achieved a rare 1-2 father-son showing in the 25-lap PDTR-MSA main event.

After the first two leaders encountered misfortune, Joel Myers Jr. of Santa Rosa, Calif. nailed down a victory in the 30-lap IRA 410 Sprint Car Series main event.

Mike Sandholm of Oconomowoc made his first start in the car normally wheeled by his daughter, Miranda, a memorable one as he led wire-to-wire en route to victory in the 25-lap PDTR B Mod A-main.

In the 25-lap PDTR-MSA 360 Sprint Car main event, polesitter Bill Taylor of Boltonville raced into the lead on the drop of the green flag as Kurt Davis, who started fourth, jumped to the high groove of the third-mile clay oval to challenge third starter T.J. Smith of Greenville for second.

The first caution of two cautions appeared on lap 3 when Justin Erickson of Plymouth spun in turn two and collected Clayton Rossmann of Wadsworth, Ill, T.J. Haddy of Waupun and Alex Pokorski of West Bend. All three drivers retreated to the work area before rejoining the race at the rear of the field on the ensuing restart.

Taylor continued to hold down the lead when the race resumed while Kurt Davis stormed into second place along with the cushion on lap 7. Three laps later, the all-time winningest driver in the 25-season history of the Akright Auto Midwest Sprint Car Association powered his way past Taylor to secure the lead on the slick, smooth and multi-groove racing surface.

The second and final caution flag was displayed on lap 13 when Taylor and Brandon Berth of Cascade were involved in an incident in turn two during a four-car duel for second. Both drivers were able to return to the race.

Following the restart, Kurt’s son, Tyler Davis of Franklin, moved up from the sixth starting spot to shoot past Smith into second on lap 14 as ninth starter Robbie Pribnow charged into third along the outside line.

With five laps to go, Kurt Davis caught the rear of the field and had to deal with a swarm of slower cars, which allowed Tyler Davis to reel in his father.

With one lap to go, Tyler pulled to within striking distance his father. However, Kurt Davis proved to be the top Davis family finisher on this occasion as he held on by a car length to capture his first victory in PDTR 360 Sprint Car competition since May 8, 2021, as well as his 26th career PDTR 360 Sprint Car A-main triumph and MSA A-main leading 65th career A-main win.

In his 39th season of competition, Kurt Davis’ PDTR 360 Sprint Car win moved him to within seven victories of all-time PDTR A-main victory leader Brandon McMullen of Oshkosh, who currently sits at the top of the heap at The Plymouth Dirt Track with 33 wins.

The win also helped Kurt Davis to stretch his lead at the top of the MSA 360 Sprint Car all-time A-main victory list to 13 over current runner-up Danny Schlafer of Sussex, who has 52 MSA 360 Sprint Car A-main victories to his credit. It was Davis’ first MSA win since May 15, 2022 at Angell Park Speedway in Sun Prairie, Wis.

“I’ve been going through the year doubting myself – am I too old, did I lose some stuff?” Kurt Davis said. “I may be a little bit more out of shape. I may have lost a bit of timing, but this one’s for the old guys. As for running the number 39 this year, we lost Cole Possi last year. The Possi family have been great friends to me. I’m glad I could at least pay them back for all their years of friendship and support with a victory.”

Tyler Davis claimed a career-best second place showing, Pribnow placed third, Smith wound up fourth and Chris Clayton of Waldo mounted an inspired run from the 20th starting spot to secure a fifth place showing in his first appearance of the 2024 season in PDTR and MSA 360 Sprint Car competition.

The 30-lap IRA A-main proved to overflow with action in various ways. Polesitter and early race leader Danny Schlafer of Sussex took the lead at the start before the red flag appeared when Mike Reinke of Howards Grove made hard contact with the turn four wall and flipped on lap 3.

Schlafer controlled the restart and hit lapped traffic on lap 9 as second starter Jake Neuman of New Berlin, Ill., two-time IRA champion Jake Blackhurst of Hanna City, Ill., who started fourth, fifth starter Blake Nimee of Oswego, Ill. and Joel Myers Jr. who started eighth, waged an epic slide job-laden battle for third.

After leading the first 11 laps of the event, Schlafer made contact with a lapped car on lap 12, which launched his No. 25 car on a series of flips into the turn one fence.

With Schlafer out of the race, second starter Jake Neumann of New Berlin, Ill. assumed the top spot until his 3N machine rolled to a stop in turn three on lap 20 to become the second race leader to drop out of the event over the span of eight laps.

Blackhurst inherited the lead with Myers Jr. and Max Guilford of Aukland, New Zealand, who started 11th, lurking close behind. The fourth and final stoppage of the race occurred with five laps to go when Ryan Zielski of Oconomowoc spun.

The closing laps saw Blackhurst, Myers Jr. and Nimee relentlessly duel for the top spot as the trio reeled off slide job after slide job. Myers Jr. eventually swept into the lead along the high line. At the same time, Nimee ducked under Blackhurst utilizing the low groove as the trio raced three-wide coming out of turn four on lap 27.

Myers Jr. surged ahead of Nimee for good on lap 28 with Guilford charging back into the top three as the checkered flag flew to cap the action-packed race with Myers Jr. collecting his first career IRA A-main triumph.

Nimee finished second, Guilford wound up third, two-time PDTR-MSA 360 Sprint Car champion Travis Arenz of Sheboygan Falls charged up 16 spots from the 20th starting position to place fourth and Blackhurst finished fifth.

Filling in for his daughter, Miranda, Mike Sandholm grabbed the lead on the opening lap of the 25-lap PDTR B Mod A-main.

Sandholm held down a solid cushion over Brad Buckman of Kiel before the first of three caution flags appeared on lap 7 when Scott Quarnstrom of Lake Villa, Ill. spun in turn four.

Sandholm maintained the top spot on the restart as fifth starter Brandon Knepprath of Boltonville slipped into second place on lap 8 with Hunter Larson of Oshkosh, who started seventh taking over third.

The second caution flag appeared on lap 9 for a six-car incident in turn two. After fending off Larson’s challenge for second, Knepprath set his focus on tracking down Sandholm.

As the leaders hit slower traffic, Knepprath remained highly determined as he remained within striking distance when the third and final caution period occurred on lap 19. When the race resumed Knepprath stayed glued to Sandholm’s bumper and stayed there straight through to the finish.

However, Sandholm proved to have just enough to claim his first career PDTR B Mod main event victory. Knepprath finished a career-best second, Larson wound up third, 11th starter Travis Schmidt of Plymouth charged up from the 11th starting spot to finish fourth and Barrett Hummelmeier of Beaver Dam, advanced from the 12th starting position to place fifth.

Jake Blackhurst was the top qualifier in the IRA 410 Sprint Car ranks with a lap of 11.882 seconds.

Clayton Rossmann claimed fast qualifier honors in PDTR-MSA 360 Sprint Car group qualifying with a time 13.365 of seconds.

The eighth event of the 2024 PDTR campaign, which was sponsored by Hopf Farms, featured 72 total entries, including 28 IRA 410 Sprint Cars, 23 PDTR-MSA 360 Sprint Cars and 21 B Mods.

The next Plymouth Dirt Track Racing program on Saturday, Aug. 3 will feature the PDTR-MSA 360 Sprint Cars, Grand Nationals, B Mods, IRA Lightning Sprints and the High School Racing Association.

HOMETOWN SPRINT CAR VICTORY FOR DALE BLANEY IS HIS 1ST OF 2024 AT SHARON; 1ST FOR JORDAN PERKINS IN STOCKS; KOLE HOLDEN (RUSH MODS) & JOE GABRIELSON (ECONO MODS)

July 27, 2024

By Mike Leone

(Hartford, OH)...Sharon Speedway was able to complete its fourth consecutive program during the month of July as sunshine and hot temps greeted race fans and teams on Saturday night for the annual "Bill Kirila Memorial". Celebrating in the Hovis Auto & Truck Supply victory lane for the "Super Series" program presented by Bala Management were Dale Blaney (Hovis Auto & Truck Supply "410" Sprint Cars), Jordan Perkins (Gibson Insurance Agency Pro Stocks), Kole Holden (HTMA/Precise Racing Products RUSH Sportsman Modifieds), and Joe Gabrielson (Whelen Econo Mods presented by Alcon Mechanical). It was Bucks Fabricating and Mark Thomas Ford Night.

Just when it appeared Dale Blaney's hall of fame career may be coming to a close, the Hartford, Ohio great had a rejuvenating 2023 season aboard Tiger Barris' #32B winning four features including three at Sharon. This season saw Blaney win at Lernerville giving him victories in 33 of his 35 years of racing "410" Sprint Cars. On Saturday night, Blaney led all 30 laps of the Hovis Auto & Truck Supply feature presented by Bala Management holding off sixth starting Cole Duncan for the $4,000 payday, and became the fourth different winner in four races this season.

"I wasn't very good getting started but was really good on the long runs," acknowledged the 60-year-old racer. "I didn't know where to start and spun really hard and thought he (Cole Duncan) had run. I didn't get through this corner very good, but I knew I needed to turn and cover that lane or else he was coming by. Cole is a really good race car driver and runs good when the track gets like this. Him and his dad have a real good package, but my car was really good. I thought I got through traffic really good. We came here with a little different setup than we normally do as we were trying something different for dad's race in three weeks to see if we can learn something and get things better."

Blaney raced into the lead overtaking pole-sitter Dan Kuriger at the start of the feature. Kuriger held down the runner-up spot until lap 11. Duncan, who considers Sharon one of his favorites tracks, was making his season debut at the Hartford, Ohio oval. Duncan actually fell back to seventh on lap two before cracking the top five on lap three. Duncan then worked his way forward and overtook Kuriger for second on lap 12. Duncan chased Blaney throughout the remainder of the event, but came up 0.453 seconds shy. Blaney's 21st career Sharon win came in the Barris Truck Service/Barris Supply/Atwell & Perrine Excavating/Top Shelf Trucking/McFarland Lumber-sponsored #32B.

Sixteenth starting Greg Wilson charged to the front and snuck by Dave Blaney on the last lap to finish third for an all Ohio podium! The elder Blaney was fourth after starting 13th. Kuriger dropped to fifth. Central Pa. invader Dylan Cisney was sixth as A.J. Flick, Dan Shetler, Brandon Matus, and Michael Bauer completed the top 10. Flick set fast time overall against the 28-car field in qualifying with a lap of 14.022. Heat winners were Dale Blaney, John Jerich, and Chris Verda, while Bob Felmlee won the last chance B main.

Last season Jordan Perkins captured his first career Sharon victory in the Pro Stocks. On Saturday night, Perkins returned to victory lane a little more than 13 months later for his second career win. Perkins passed 32-time winner Steve D'Apolito for good on lap 16 and led the remaining laps of the 20-lap Gibson Insurance Agency feature to become the third different winner in four races this season.

"Boy that was a heck of a race," expressed the 33-year-old New Castle, Pa. driver. "Even if I would have finished second I would have been happy the way our year has been and all the more we have gotten to race. I saw Steve (D'Apolito)'s passenger door a couple times. You can't follow cars so you have to try somewhere else and I put it on the top. There was still some moisture left up there after the Sprints. It was touch and feel up there. We made some changes on the car and found something that worked."

D'Apolito led the first 10 laps until losing the lead on lap 11 to Perkins. D'Apolito regained the lead on lap 15 hoping to end a long winless drought, but would lose the lead one lap later when Perkins drove on around. Perkins took the checkered flag first by 0.921 seconds over D'Apolito in his US Roll-Offs/Six Packs Bar & Grille/Four Star Pizza of New Castle/Denise Johnson/Stotish Racing Engines/Advance Auto Parts/Green Roof Rentals/Pagley Construction/Brian Watkins Landscaping-sponsored #13J.

Scott Stiffler came back from his opening lap spin to finish third. Seventy-two-year-old Larry Kugel went ninth to fourth to earn the $100 Summit Racing Equipment hard charger gift card. Jason Jones was fifth. Completing the top 10 were Jim Fosnaught, Russ Coyne, Jamie Duncan, Tony Bruno, and Paul Davis. D'Apolito and Davis won the heat races.

After going on a near five-year winless drought in the RUSH Sportsman Modifieds at Sharon until Kole Holden's victory on June 22, it didn't take the two-time track champion as long to return to victory lane. Holden passed Rob Kristyak on lap 15 and kept 12th starting Chas Wolbert at bay throughout the final laps of the HTMA/Precise Racing Products feature in a race that had three different leaders and four lead changes. The victory maintained Holden's lead in RUSH's $3,500 to-win Weekly Series Championship and also propelled him into the lead of the $1,000 to-win Wedge Motorsports "Route 7 Rumble" Series.

"I knew (Rob) Kristyak would be on the top of the track so it was no surprise when I saw him up there," explained the 25-year-old Tiona, Pa. resident. "I knew my car was good on the bottom so I just stuck right along the tires the whole race. I just stayed cool, calm, and hit my marks. Fortunately I was able to pull a couple car lengths on him and held on for the win."

Holden started second and led the opening lap until JC Boyer took a short-lived lead on lap two. Holden regained the lead back on lap three only to lose it on lap six to Kristyak. The sixth starting Kristyak was looking for his second straight lead and held down the top spot until lap 15 when Holden made the winning pass. Holden then outlasted Wolbert, the division's all-time winningest driver, by 0.788 seconds for his seventh career win in the Dana Holden-owned, Holden Resources/Car-Go Auto Parts/Troyer Dirt Cars/Falconer & Mancross Garage Service/Baker Motorsports-sponsored #2.

Kristyak was third after leading nine laps. Darin Gallagher was fourth as continued his strong runs with his third top four in four starts. Doug Rutana was fifth. Rounding out the top 10 were Ayden Cipriano, Boyer, Logen Lockhart, Jacob Jordan, and Jacob Rutana. Heat victors were Doug Rutana and Holden.

Former UMP Modified racer, Joe Gabrielson, captured his second win in three starts since moving to the Econo Mod division. Gabrielson inherited the lead with two laps to in the 20-lap Whelen feature presented by Alcon Mechanical after the top two cars of Coleton Longwell and Andy Buckley tangled. Gabrielson has now finished in the top two spots in his three feature starts this season.

"I like this division as it's a lot easier to drive these cars with 400 horsepower versus 700 and some that we had in the UMP class," revealed the 36-year-old Bristolville, Ohio driver. "I know we had some cautions and stuff there. I hate it for my buddy Coleton (Longwell). He was the car to beat, but those restarts are where it really happens on a race track like this. (Andy) Buckley got around him then he ended up getting into him and had to go to the tail, but that's racing and it happens. We ended up getting the lead and held Jeremy (Double) off. I was worried about Jeremy; he's the guy to beat in this class."

Gabrielson crossed the finish line first by 1.344 seconds over Jeremy Double in his Big Ed's Tire Service/McCool's Graphics/Wedge Motorsports/MB Customs-sponsored #58 for his 11th career win overall at Sharon for the nine-time UMP Mod winner. Double, who started fifth, has finished in the top four in all four starts this year, but has yet to get to victory lane to become the division's all-time winner.

Bryan Wagner crossed the finish line in third, but was disqualified for an illegal carburetor, which moved Brendan Warner to a career best Sharon finish of third. Sixteen-year-old Travis Carothers was a career best fourth as Dave Shagla, Jr. completed the top five. Chris Peterson was sixth over Gary Sullivan and Gary Olson. Cameron Nastasi, who has been racing Sprint Cars the last four years, returned to the Econo Mod division on Saturday and finished ninth beating out Longwell by 0.002 seconds to earn the $100 Performance Bodies nosed out contingency gift card. Double, Buckley, and Dennis Lunger, Jr. won the heat races over the 23-car field.

Coming up on Saturday (August 3) will be the return of the Hovis Auto & Truck Supply Big-Block Modifieds racing for $2,000 to-win. The Gibson Insurance Agency Pro Stocks will be competing in "Ray's Race" remembering the late Ray Virgile. The Billy's Garage RUSH Sprint Cars and the Whelen Econo Mods presented by Alcon Mechanical will also be on the card. Racing will get underway at 7 p.m.

Krummert continues winning ways in big Block modifieds; Jones wins first sprint feature in nearly 20 years in 305s; Gabany wins first of ‘24 in 602 crate mods; Callahan wins 21st career in minis.

By Jim Balentine (Mercer,Pa)

On a beautiful sunny warm late July, Saturday Michaels Mercer Raceway was able to complete its fourth show of the year. Along with autograph night for the racesaver 305s and the big block modifieds, Garrett Krummert continued his winning ways in ‘24 by winning the big block modified feature; Rod Jones hopped into his son Roman’s racesaver 305 sprint and picked up his first sprint car win in nearly 20 years; Eric Gabany returned to victory Lane for the first time since 2022 in the 602 crate modifieds; Tim Callahan won his 21st career mini stock feature; the PA thunder on the dirt vintage modifieds were on hand as well with a great turnout with former late model racer Wally Stock winning the modified portion and Vincenzo Fiollo won the sportsman mod. The entire show was completed by 11:02.

The big Block modifieds made their second appearance of the year and an unsanctioned event and Garrett Krummert who started 4th won his six career in the big blocks at Mercer. The slim 10 car field was led by Brad Rapp for the first 2 laps until Krummert got around on lap 3. Krummert well then start to pull away from the field with the wrap, not leaving him out of his eyesight, but the real battle was for third fourth and fifth as a contested battle between Rapp, last nights winner at Lernerville Rex King Jr, Canadian Tyler Willard, and Will Thomas would thrill the crowd. Rapp would keep a small distance from the others as they would slice and dice going 3 wide occasionally.

King Jr would then overtake Rapp on lap 23 as Thomas moved into 4th on lap 22. King was a little too late to catch Krummert as he won by a massive 5 seconds in the non stop 8 minute 25 lapper. Rapp would be 3rd, Thomas 4th and Willard 5th. Krummert would say,”that was good starting up from helped but we will take it!! we have run 2nd too much..we needed a win.. if your car is good you can leave your car on the bottom and I have been coming here for about 20 years.. hopefully this turns things around so we can battle it out with Rex.”

The Jones family goes back to the first year of Mercer in 1951 and four generations have competed at the famed speedway. 3rd generation driver and veteran Rod Jones who has a 410 sprint win along with 29 mod lite features hopped into his son Roman, a 4th generation’s Racesaver 305 sprint and picked up his first victory in the class leading flag to flag. The race was marred by a violent double flip on lap 3 involving Jeremey Kornbau and Greg Dobrosky as both cars crashed hard into the wall in turn 2 flipping violently. Both drivers were OK. On the restart Jones would take off again as former track champion Jake Gomola would keep pace keeping Jones no further ahead than 1 second. last weeks feature winner Andy priest would suffer motor problems in the seat race, and have to start at the rear of the field in 16th place. Priest would methodically move his way through the field getting up to 5th by lap 15.

Mike Koehler who made his first appearance from Williamsport, Pennsylvania the home of the Little League World Series was impressive in his first run battling against the long time Mercer regulars staying in the top 5 the entire race. Another great battle occurred as Jim Pattock, Jarrett Rosencrance, and Vivian Jones along with Koehler would utilize the wide surface trying to catch the top 2. Priest would then move into 4th at lap 16 to challenge Koehler as Vivian Jones would stay in 3rd. At the end Jones would hold of Gomola by 1.1 seconds and become the 4th different winner in 4 races! Koehler finished 3rd ahead of Vivian Jones and Andy priest. When announcer Jim Balentine said that the Jones’ are now the first father and 2 children team to each win a sprint feature in the same division at Mercer since Lou,Dave and Dale have all won sprint features there…Thats pretty cool!!” Rod would say, “Roman is going off to college and he wanted to go with his buddies this weekend so I said I’ll drive!! It’s been since 2016 since I was in the 305 class but as far as winning a sprint feature…it’s been over 20 years!!”

Eric Gabany would lead from the pole to pick up his 17th 602 crate modified feature at Mercer and also become the 4th different crate winner in 4 races. Garrett Krummert doing double duty tonight would jump out of his feature winning big block modified into the crate modified and from his six starting spot move up to second by lap 10 in a thrilling inside pass of three other cars. Gage Priester, Jim Bryce and Pat Lane would put on an exciting battle trying to catch Gabany but did not see Krummert slowly moving into the mix. Krummert made a daring inside move from turn 3 to 4 sliding into 2nd. Krummert would then try to catch Gabany and hope for a caution but the rest of the race went caution, free ending in 8.41 minutes and Gabany winning by 2.8 seconds. “Anytime Krummert shows up you know he is going to be there but it wa a good run the car was perfect and the track was beautiful!! Gabany would say, “After not winning last year and this year you don’t know if it’s going to happen again so it’s good!! Preister was 3rd, Jim Bryce 4th, and Pat Lane 5th.

22 mini stocks were scheduled to start the nightcapper but Joe Campbell was a scratch after a fire erupted in the fuel cell in his heat race ending his night early. Campbell was ok.

Corey Bice and Chaz Smith would be on the front row both looking for their first career Mercer win. Bice would take the lead and held off the competition until lap 7 when 20 time winner Tim Callahan would overtake Bice. Devin Haley had another great run going in 3rd. Last weeks winner Andy Thompson would hit the turn 2 wall on lap 9 ending his night.

On the restart Mike Kelly would go high in turn 2 and crash hard into the outside wall with 2 wheels up on it. Kelly was ok. Chaz Smith who is improving each week would climb back into 4th on lap 11 and would try to catch Haley. Meanwhile up front Callahan would pull away and defeat Bice by 1.6 seconds to win his 21st career mini stock feature. Haley would end up 3rd, Smith 4th and Randy Ealy 5th. Callahan who is the sheriff of Mercer county would say ,”this division has advanced so far each year it gets faster and faster we built the car over the winter and been racing everywhere to try to get this car together. We just don’t know the right tires or gearing but we got it together tonight. This is a very competitive division!”

Next week will be the Al Priester memorial for the crate 602 modifieds as we honor one of the longtime supporters of the speedway who passed away this May of cancer. There will be a silent and a Chinese auction before the races behind the grandstands

Winchester Speedway, Virginia

Kasey Weaver and Caleb Harris Double Up

Winchester Speedway hosted a unique event in that with forty sprinters signing in the owner decided we would split the field in to two groups and run two complete races for the field. Heat races kicked off the night with Reed Thompson and Landon Priced headed to feature one and Kolby Weaver and Zach Rhodes headed to feature two. On to feature one with Kasey Weaver and Ken Duke jr. pacing the field to green with Weaver out first and Duke right behind. The twenty-lap feature was going by fast and even after a couple quick yellows for spinners Weaver would stay steady and in control even with charges from Duke who was holding off Austin Reed. With one to go the front of the field was nose to tail but Kasey Weaver would not waver and flashed under the Checkered flag first. On to the second feature it with Dale Schweikart and Caleb Harris at the front as the green waved with Schweikart moving to the front and Harris staying second with Hunter McFadden and Fred Arnold right behind. Like the first feature even with a couple quick yellows for a stalled car and a spinner Schweikart was strong out front leaving the others to fight over the other top spots. With a few laps to go Schweikart showed his smooth quick pace and went under the white flag with a few car lengths cushion but going in to four headed for the checkered flag a stopped spun car was unavoidable and his night ended right there. On the re-start Caleb Harris took of and made no mistakes with the pressure from behind flashing under the waving checkered flag for his first win ever. At the line for Feature one it was Kasey Weaver, Ken Duke jr., Austin Reed, Brad Mellot, Drew Young, Landon Price, Reed Thompson, Colton Hendershot, John Scarborough, Daren Bolac, Jeff Weaver, Croix Beasom, Donnie Hendershot, Doug Dotson, Todd Lynn, Jarrett Cavalet, Kruz Kepner, Chris Humblet, Matthew Leach and Ben Miklos. Feature Two at the line it was Caleb Harris, Hunter McFadden, Fred Arnold, Ryan Lynn, Mike Melair, Braeden Varner, Dylan Shatzer, Colton Moyer, Jerald Harris, Paul Moyer, Matt Kline, Matt Mullins, Zach Rhodes, Kolby Weaver, Chris Ware, Dale Schweikart, John Smith, French Grimes, Jimmy Humblet and Aaron Leach. We want to thank Winchester Speedway for having our first two group feature race events and the stands had plenty of fans to let us show case our races. Next week it’s back to Hagerstown Speedway in Hagerstown, Md. On Saturday night August 3rd as all three series will be back racing again.

Williamson, Weldon and Yeigh Produce Wins at Huset's Speedway During The Border Battle Presented by Nordstrom's Automotive

Inside Line Promotions - BRANDON, S.D. (July 28, 2024) - Garet Williamson, Gaige Weldon and Cory Yeigh drove to victory on Sunday at Huset's Speedway during The Border Battle presented by Nordstrom's Automotive.

Williamson used a late-race pass in traffic to capture the $7,500-to-win Cressman Sanitation 410 Outlaw Sprint Cars main event. He became the first repeat winner in the division at the track this season.

"That was probably the most fun I've had at this place or really anywhere," he said. "I peeked up and there was 10 to go and we were third or fourth. I drove the crap out of it. Oh man, that was a lot of fun."

Brendan Mullen led the first eight laps before Chase Randall took the lead in traffic on Lap 9. Randall's advantage was more than a second and a half when Williamson passed Mullen for second place on Lap 20. He rapidly closed on Randall a couple of laps later before pulling off a slide job in turns one and two on Lap 24 en route to the race win.

Randall finished second for the fourth time at Huset's Speedway this season.

"That one kind of stings a little bit," he said. "I'm proud of our progress tonight. It's really good to get another good finish, but it stings a little bit. I felt I let that one get away. I was getting too patient behind lapped cars."

Kerry Madsen rounded out the podium.

"I thought we had a great race car," he said. "It's great to get a podium."

Mullen placed fourth and Tim Kaeding ended fifth.

Gage Pulkrabek set quick time during qualifying before Matt Juhl, Justin Henderson, Kaeding and John Carney II won the heat races. Tyler Drueke was the B Main winner.

Weldon dominated the non-stop Wyffels Hybrids RaceSaver Sprint Car Series A Main, leading all 20 circuits for his first career triumph at the track. He is the ninth different division winner in nine races this season.

"It feels great," he said. "It means a lot. We've been trying for a couple of weeks now and haven't had very much luck."

Nicholas Winter posted a second-place showing with Ryan Serrao finishing third, Amelia Eisenschenk fourth and 12th-starting Brady Donnohue fifth.

Serrao, Cole Olson, Winter and Weldon were the heat race winners. Corbin Erickson scored the B Main victory.

Yeigh became the first driver to record three victories at Huset's Speedway this season as he topped the 20-lap Nordstrom's Automotive Late Model Street Stocks feature.

Brandon Ferguson led the first four laps before he caught the infield berm in turns three and four, turning him sideways. Points leader and fifth-running J.J. Zebell had nowhere to go and plowed into Ferguson.

Chris Ellingson inherited the lead and was out front for one lap before ninth-starting Yeigh drove around him on Lap 6. He paced the field on the bottom groove for the remainder of the race to win by 0.929 seconds.

Ellingson held off 12th-starting Matt Steuerwald for the runner-up result. Zach Olivier placed fourth and Billy Prouty was fifth.

Craig Hanisch and Kyle DeBoer recorded heat race wins.

Huset's Speedway will be dormant for the next three weekends until resuming competition on Aug. 25 for Royal River Casino Night showcasing The Bull Haulers Brawl Championship Night for Sprint Cars featuring the Cressman Sanitation 410 Outlaw Sprint Cars, the Nordstrom's Automotive Late Model Street Stocks and the Wyffels Hybrids RaceSaver Sprint Car Series.

Joey Ancona rockets to Ocean Sprints win Friday night in Watsonville

Watsonville, CA…Making just his second Ocean Speedway start of the season on Friday Night, Clayton’s Joey Ancona raced to his third career Taco Bravo Sprint Car victory, leading all but one lap in the feature.

Fellow winners on Friday evening were Tyler Tucker with the IMCA Sport Mods, Thomas Cumming with the Four Bangers and Bryant Bell with the visiting Western Midget Racing.

The Ocean Sprints presented by Taco Bravo main event began with Fresno traveler Kyle Rasmussen leading the opening night, before Ancona slipped by for the top-spot on lap two.

After that Ancona had his way with things out front, although Rasmussen stayed somewhat close over the duration of the contest. Several cautions slowed the flow, but Ancona hit his marks on every restart.

Ancona eventually crossed under the Ed Entz checkered flag to pick up the win ahead of Rasmussen, Ocean Sprints point leader Caleb Debem of Salinas, Jennifer Osborne from Geyserville and Oakdale’s Brad Dillard.

“We haven’t raced all that much this year, so it feels great to get a victory tonight in Watsonville,” said Ancona. “We have a lot of national races coming up out here, so we really wanted to get some laps before all that occurs. I want to thank my entire family and our sponsors for making it happen.”

The 20-lap IMCA Sport Mod finale featured some solid racing throughout the pack. Reigning Ocean Speedway champion Chuck Golden of Pittsburgh set the early pace up front.

Several drivers fought for position behind him however and kept the crowd on hand intrigued. A lap 15 restart changed the complexion of the race when Delhi driver Tyler Tucker blasted to the outside and grabbed the lead that he would never relinquish.

Tucker went on to score his initial Ocean win over Golden, Jason Ryan Jr., Chris Falkenberg and point leader Emali VanHoff.

The quiet riot Four Banger main event was all about San Jose’s Thomas Cumming, who drove away to earn his fourth victory of the season at Ocean Speedway.

Watsonville’s own Joshua Silva blasted to the lead at the waving and the green flag and held command over the first few circuits. Once Cumming got by though, that was all she wrote, as he crossed under the stripe by over two seconds over Silva, point leader Peter Vannerus, Ken Keegan and Nicole Beardsley.

Bryant Bell of Oakley, Calif. prevailed for his fourth consecutive Ocean Speedway Western Midget Racing win on Friday night, holding off Logan Mitchell of Santa Cruz to take the 20-lap feature.

Weisberg led the first 17-laps on a fast-paced Ocean Speedway fresh after track prep. 2023 champion Bryant Bell of Oakley, San Jose’s Anthony Bruno, and Santa Cruz’ Logan Mitchell hounded Weisberg in a tight formation. All three drivers pursuing Weisberg were previous winners in the WMR series, adding to the pressure of the situation for the second year Midget racer.

Bruno sailed inside of Bell for second in turn three but got sideways, allowing Mitchell to seize third on lap 15.

Weisberg’s bid for his first ever WMR victory ended when his No. 15 Stealth Chassis went up in smoke, setting up a three-lap shootout between Bell and Mitchell.

Bell outfoxed Mitchell over the final three circuits on the Santa Cruz County Fairgrounds dirt track for the win, followed by Mitchell, Bruno, Roseville’s Josh Young, and Las Vegas’ Kyle Hawse.

Ocean Speedway returns to action this coming Friday August 2nd with another four-division program. On tap will be the Ocean Sprints presented by Taco Bravo, IMCA Modifieds, IMCA Sport Mods and Hobby Stocks.

Must See Racing Perfit Sprint Car Series

SANDUSKY, Ohio (July 26, 2024) – Bobby Santos III kept his streak of perfection in the Must See Racing Perfit Sprint Car Series going by winning his third race in as many starts this season on Friday night.

Racing as part of the Fast Friday portion of Hy-Miler Supermodified Nationals week at Sandusky Speedway, Santos took the lead of the 30-lap feature from Charlie Schultz on a restart two laps prior to the halfway point.

From there, the Franklin, Mass., veteran grew his advantage to a full straightaway en route to his 10th career series victory – becoming just the fourth driver in history to reach double-digit wins and tying reigning champion Jason Blonde for third on the all-time list.

“The restarts in these cars are always unpredictable; the biggest thing is that Charlie is a good, clean racer and gave me plenty of racetrack so that the two of us could battle heads-up,” said Santos in victory lane. “Racing against competition like that is always valuable, and it’s cool to be part of Hy-Miler weekend with the sprints and supermodifieds racing on the same card.

“This is a great win for our team, and we’ll just keep working toward even more.”

Schultz did what he could to stay with Santos in the closing stages, but had to settle for second in the end. It was, however, the home-state driver’s best finish so far this season.

“I wouldn’t say that he [Santos] snookered me, but that he just had a better car,” said Schultz. “I just couldn’t get off the corner … in turn two, but to finish second after the season we’ve had so far … it feels like a win.”

Mike McVetta, who ran double duty by competing both with Must See Racing and the ISMA supermodifieds, finished third in the Dick Myers Racing sprinter after starting eighth.

Five-time series champion Jimmy McCune was fourth after having to drop to the tail for the initial start due to replacing a loose oil plug following his initial push start. Kevin Mingus closed the top five.

Sixth through 10th were Dorman Snyder, Luke Griffith, point leader Joe Liguori, Tom Geren, and fast qualifier Colton Bettis.

Bettis, the standout 14-year-old rookie driving for car owner Aaron Pierce, started off the evening with his first-ever Must See Racing Quick Time Award but was inverted to sixth in the feature lineup and fought a throttle linkage issue later in the race. He was the final driver to fall out and finished 10th.

Two-time defending Must See Racing Maxima Midwest Lights champion Cody Gallogly won the companion crate sprint car main event, using a restart on lap 13 of 25 to take the top spot from Andrew Bogusz and leading the rest of the way.

It was a special win for Gallogly, who was not only celebrating a birthday at the track, but whose stepson Blane was also assisting with the public address call of Friday’s Midwest Lights race.

“You can’t ask for much more than that,” Gallogly noted with a smile.

Bogusz hung on to finish second after leading the first 12 laps, with J.J. Henes completing the podium ahead of Sawyer Stout and Charlie Baur.

Polesitter Brandon Tregembo crashed in turn four with 12 laps complete, while running inside the top five, and failed to finish. He was credited with 12th in the final results.

Must See Racing teams head next to Ohio’s Midvale Speedway on Saturday, Aug. 3.

The results:

410 sprint car feature (30 laps): 1. 22a-Bobby Santos III, 2. 9s-Charlie Schultz, 3. 50m-Mike McVetta, 4. 88-Jimmy McCune, 5. Z10-Kevin Mingus, 6. 99-Dorman Snyder, 7. 12-Luke Griffith, 8. 68-Joe Liguori, 9. 11g-Tom Geren, 10. 26-Colton Bettis, 11. 55-Tommy Nichols, 12. 7-Bobby Komisarski, 13. 81-Steven Hollinger, 14. 85-Rick Holley, 15. 14-Davey Hamilton Jr.

Crate sprint car feature (25 laps): 1. 27-Cody Gallogly, 2. 17-Andrew Bogusz, 3. 36jr-J.J. Henes, 4. 40-Sawyer Stout, 5. 23-Charlie Baur, 6. 52-Ethan Rader, 7. 51s-Joshua Sexton, 8. 37-Keegan Weese, 9. 77-Parker Corbin, 10. 11-Rick Wichtner, 11. 38-J.D. Evans, 12. 1-Brandon Tregembo.

BRYANT BELL EARNS FOURTH CONSECUTIVE OCEAN SPEEDWAY WMR VICTORY

WATSONVILLE, CALIFORNIA (July 26, 2024) – Bryant Bell of Oakley, Calif. prevailed for his fourth consecutive Ocean Speedway Western Midget Racing win on Friday night, holding off Logan Mitchell of Santa Cruz to take the 20-lap feature. Bell lifts his recent record to five wins in the last six WMR events as well. A trip to Bell’s home track at Antioch Speedway looms on Saturday night as the 2023 champion continues to lead the 2024 battle.

Watsonville’s Ocean Speedway action opened with Mitchell and San Jose’s Anthony Bruno claiming the eight-lap heat races. Southern California racers Adam Weisberg of Santa Clarita and Todd Hawse of Moorpark then shared the front row for the main event.

Bruno sailed inside of Bell for second in turn three but got sideways, allowing Mitchell to seize third on lap 15.

Weisberg’s bid for his first ever WMR victory ended when his No. 15 Stealth Chassis went up in smoke, setting up a three-lap shootout between Bell and Mitchell.

Bell outfoxed Mitchell over the final three circuits on the Santa Cruz County Fairgrounds dirt track for the win, followed by Mitchell, Bruno, Roseville’s Josh Young, and Las Vegas’ Kyle Hawse.

“Shoutout to Adam to have a run like that. Keep your head up after having a run like that,” Bell said. “Thank you to Tony Boscacci for busting his butt in the shop. That’s where races are won."

Ayrton Gennetten Attains Victory with POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprints at Lakeside Speedway

Kansas City, KS. (7/26/24) Ayrton Gennetten would use precision and precise timing to snatch victory with the POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprint in the Sunflower State Showcase presented by Start2Finish TV to notch his fifth league victory in an outstanding feature event at Lakeside Speedway in the caution free feature event.

Flying onto the smooth surface with talented entrants of the POWRi 410’s would see Brian Brown set a quick qualifying time of 14.120-second lap with Jason Martin and Xavier Doney each earning heat racing victories.

Captivating the crowd on the initial green flag start with high-point qualifier Brian Brown and Ayrton Gennetten lined up in the front row as Brian Brown would gain the lead on the opening lap with Ayrton Gennetten, Jason Martin, Austin McCarl, and Blake Hahn all raced within the top five.

Showing speed after gaining the initial lead, Brian Brown would appear to be the cream of the class as laps began to tick away at a rapid rate with Ayrton Gennetten moving into second with Austin McCarl taking third with the top three separating from the field.

Displaying outstanding action in an intense feature, late race dramatics would rear as Ayrton Gennetten would catch the front-running Brian Brown with five laps remaining as Austin McCarl would also show a nose on the low line for the top position.

Sliding into the lead late, Ayrton Gennetten would set Brian Brown up to perfection by showing low only to pass on the high side of turns three and four with only three laps remaining as Austin McCarl would gain ground and move into the runner up spot.

Leading the final revolutions, Ayrton Gennetten would not be denied in earning his fifth career POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprint victory in an action-packed main event with Austin McCarl hustling into the runner-up position late.

“I was working on Brian all race, Once that flagman showed five to go I knew it was time to move.” said Ayrton Gennetten in the Kansas City Kansas victory lane ceremony celebrations. Adding, “I knew we had a fast car all night and a win like this shows just how far we have come as a team this year, what a fun race”.

Challenging closely behind would find leader of twenty-two laps Brian Brown placing on the final podium placement as Emerson Axsom would be among the frontrunners all feature to fourth with Xavier Doney rounding out the top-five finishers for the POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprints in the Sunflower State Showcase presented by Start2Finish at Lakeside Speedway.

Randall and Halverson Triumphant at Jackson Motorplex During Merle Johnson Memorial Border Battle Presented by New Fashion Pork & SW Broadband

Inside Line Promotions - JACKSON, Minn. (July 26, 2024) - Chase Randall and Brandon Halverson collected the spoils of victory on Friday during the Merle Johnson Memorial Border Battle presented by New Fashion Pork & SW Broadband at Jackson Motorplex.

Randall captured the $7,000 top prize and a unique trophy for winning the Midwest Sprint Touring Series 410 Sprint Cars A Main.

"It's really special to win a really, really special race," he said. "I definitely felt a lot of pressure. Once I got to lapped traffic I was committed to the top in (turns) one and two. Once I got close to guys I felt myself slowing down and couldn't get off the corners. I was searching a little bit. I saw the bottom was still good in (turns) one and two. We were able to hold them off.

"We've been making a lot of gains the past couple of weeks on the bigger tracks. It's good to head into these next couple of weeks with a lot of momentum."

Randall led the distance of the 25-lap feature, but it wasn't without any drama. Traffic began to jumble things up in the final 10 laps as the top five began bunching together. Aaron Reutzel passed Garet Williamson for second place on Lap 20 and Scott Bogucki got by Williamson for third place two laps later. Bogucki then passed Reutzel down the backstretch on Lap 24, but when Reutzel slid in front of Bogucki entering turn three the two made contact. Bogucki endured a vicious flip that ended his night early and Reutzel finished toward the back of the pack as well.

Kaleb Johnson inherited second place for a green-white-checkered restart. Randall was smooth out front during the final two laps to win by 1.114 seconds and Williamson made a last-lap pass on Johnson to score a second-place result.

"We were good early on," Williamson said. "In traffic we really struggled with being balled up. Hats off to Chase and their whole crew. I struggled where to be at on the track. Luckily I got by Kaleb to get back up the podium. To be on the podium is nothing to hang our heads about. Second stings, but we'll build on it."

Johnson's third-place effort marked his third podium outing in as many starts at Jackson Motorplex this season.

"I'm a little upset with myself on that last corner," he said. "I drove it too hard and let Garet get by me. Congrats to Chase and the No. 2ks team."

Matt Juhl finished fourth after starting 10 th and 11th-starting Christopher Thram was fifth.

Kerry Madsen and Randall were quickest in their qualifying groups before the heat races were won by Johnson, Brooke Tatnell, Bogucki and Dusty Zomer. Tim Estenson was the B Main winner.

Halverson held the lead throughout the 20-lap Wyffels Hybrids RaceSaver Sprint Cars presented by Heser Auto & Detailing main event. It marked his first winged sprint car win at the track.

"Steve Stoermer allowed me to drive this car tonight and it's the best 305 sprint car I've ever sat in," he said.

Jacob Peterson reeled in Halverson as traffic neared on Lap 8, but a caution slowed the race. Halverson built more than a one-second advantage following the restart before Peterson closed to within two tenths of a second as Halverson was stymied while trying to lap a fellow competitor with only a handful of circuits remaining. However, Halverson was able to make the move in the waning laps and hold on for the victory by 0.462 seconds.

Peterson placed second with Jeremy Kerzman ending third. Brett Allen was fourth and Brandon Bosma advanced from 13 th to fifth.

Jake Greenwood, Mathew Jasper, Brandon Buysse, Kerzman and Allen were the heat race winners. Hunter Hanson and Tyler Rabenberg recorded B Main victories.

The next event at Jackson Motorplex is the FENDT Jackson Nationals, which runs Aug. 15-17 and showcases the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series.

Kalib Henry wins nail-biter for 1st Attica 410 win; Moore nips Bores for 3rd straight late model victory; Miller nurses engine to 6th 305 win

Friday, July 26, 2024

By Brian Liskai

ATTICA, Ohio – Sacramento, California’s Kalib Henry out-dueled Cap Henry to score his first 410 sprint win at Attica Raceway Park on Ohio Truck sales/Adkins Group Night, Friday, July 26. Henry, who started sixth in the 30-lap A-main, took the lead from the defending track champion on lap seven and held off several challenges from Cap Henry to score the win.

“Boss man and everybody back home are super happy. I can’t thank Doc and Rebecca enough for the opportunity they’ve given me. Nate for cheering us along back home and all my family that’s back home…going to see you guys in two weeks. Hats off to Kevin. He gave us a hell of a race car. I really didn’t know where to be out front in lapped traffic. I give credit where credit is due. Cap raced me hard, he raced me clean. We struggled here quite a bit. Drew the six and didn’t know what to expect the way the track was. I knew when Cap struck his nose in there I had to turn it up and move around and see what I could do,” said Henry beside his Running Boxer Farms, Harris Distributing Company, Valvoline, K1, Berryman Racing Shocks, Chalkstix backed #101.

The victory in the Callie’s Performance Products 410 A-main is the third of the year for Kalib Henry, adding to a pair of victories at Fremont Speedway.

For Cap Henry it was a good point night in his quest to earn another Attica track title and a second straight All Pro Aluminum Cylinder Heads/Kistler Racing Products Attica Fremont Championship Series presented by the Baumann Auto Group title. AFCS and Attica point leader Cale Thomas finished fourth behind DJ Foos while TJ Michael rounded out the top five.

While the scorecard will show Mansfield, Ohio’s Kyle Moore lead all 25 laps of the Whistle Stop Presents the Dirt Nerd Podcast Powered by Propane UMP Late Model Feature, it was not nearly that easy. Mike Bores came on strong and challenged Moore lap after lap but Moore hit his marks and drove to his third straight feature win at Attica over Bores, Rusty Schlenk, Casey Noonan and Devin Shiels. It’s Moore’s fourth career win at Attica…all of them coming this season.

In fact, since the opening two weeks of the season, Moore has not finished out of the top three to lead the track’s point standings.

“They say the first win is the hardest to get and it was. Last year I probably should have had one or two of them and got passed in the last corner. This is a dream,” said Moore beside his Kepling Flooring, Tye Tworg Longhorn, Joyride Transportation, Smitley Towing, Short Stop, Malcuit Race Engines, Wilson Realty, Robin Jakubick, RL Bond Septic, Hepthorn Golf Cart Sales, House of Spud, K&B Septic Service, Coffman Composites, Team Midwest Paint, Platinum Design backed #1*.

Fremont, Ohio’s Jamie Miller knew his engine was hurt in his 305 sprint car after his heat race. A call to his engine builder – who told him to put block sealer in it and pray – didn’t ease his mind any. However, the four time and defending Attica track champion was able to nurse his car home for his sixth win of the year at the track. Of the 12 features at Attica in 2024, Miller has only finished out of the top five in one event, a 17th place finish on the second night of the year.

Jimmy McGrath led the opening lap of the Fremont Fence 305 Sprints feature before Miller took over. Despite several cautions Miller was able to drive to his 45th career win at Attica over Bryan Sebetto, Dustin Stroup, McGrath and Logan Riel.

The win also pads Miller’s lead in the NAPA of Bryan Attica Fremont Championship Series presented by Jason Dietsch Trailer Sales points as he looks for his first title in the series.

“We knew we had a problem after the heat. The oil pan was full of water. We called Scott Gressman and he told us to put block sealer in it and heat it up. It got up to 270 degrees in the feature…I don’t know how it made it,” said Miller beside his Boca Construction, JLH General Contractors, Kenny Kelb Farms, Tuck Pointing America, Queen of Clean, Smitty’s Pizza, Roberts & Sons Contracting, Pizza Wheel, Crown Battery, Reedtown Tavern, Fostoria Mod Shop, Sandy’s Dad, Gressman Powersports, Phil Rister, Slade Shock Technology backed #26.

Attica Raceway Park will take a couple of weeks off for the Attica Independent Fair before returning Friday, Aug. 16 with the AFCS 410 and 305 sprints and UMP late models in action.

"It's awesome to win memorial races; to honor someone, it's great. It's a big deal when you're name's on a memorial race."

Cameron Martin earned a second-place result, which is his career-best outing at Jackson Motorplex.

"We've always been really fast here and it's finally good to put a full night together," he said.

Kaleb Johnson rounded out the podium.

Three Straight for Gorden on Speedweek

7/24/24

By Kaleb Hart

Lebanon, OR - After four rounds of the 2024 Northern Speedweek Tour “Tribute to Fred Brownfield”, Dominic Gorden has established himself as the man to beat following a third straight win at Willamette Speedway on Wednesday night.

Tyler Thompson looked like he would have a hometown crowd leaving happy as he set out to a decent sized lead. While Thompson was leading, Gorden worked on chasing him down, experimenting with multiple race lines and finding excellent forward drive off the bottom of turn four. With slower traffic looming, Thompson left the low side open off turn four on lap 19 and Gorden took advantage, making the race winning pass off the corner. Thompson would rally back for one more shot at Gorden coming to the checkered flag but in the end, it was Gorden taking the $3,000 top prize. Thompson settled for his third straight runner up finish and Dominic Scelzi was third for the second straight race.

Robbie Price was fast time on the night, just a couple of tenths off a track record at 12.370 seconds. Heat race wins went to Luke Didiuk, Thompson and Scelzi.

Gorden leads the current speedweek points and the pass master standings.

“Racing Back to School Night” held at Double X Speedway.

The annual “Racing Back to School Night” at Double X Speedway was held Sunday July 21, 2024. This annual event organized by The Tyler Utz family and racing friends provides back packs full of school supplies to all school age kids in attendance at the evening’s races. For 2024 organizers had almost 200 backpacks available for distribution. In addition to the school supply giveaway there was also some great racing action on the track for fans enjoyment as well.

The night saw the return of the 305 Winged Sprint Cars, courtesy of Clennin Farm Supply, to Double X for the final time in 2024. With rain showers around the mid Missouri area, a field of 31 cars and drivers signed in for the evening.

The Super Stocks led off the evening’s competition with two heat races. In the first heat veteran Dale Berry moved to the early lead and was in control through lap four when he got against the back stretch wall. Clayton Campbell, who had been chasing the leader since the start took over the top spot with Eddie Keeran and Adam Halley giving chase. At the checkered it was Campbell leading Keeran and Berry across the stripe. Adam Halley and John Shane completed the field. Heat two saw the division points leaders on the front row. James Nighswonger took the lead on the drop of the green with Steve Beach applying pressure. A lap four caution for Ryan Shikles bunched the field as the #409 retired to the pit area. Nighswonger would sail to the victory with Beach in second and Fred Kilmer in third. In the 305 Sprint Car action, quick Jack Thomas of Bates City picked up where he left off on his last visit to Double X winning the heat race over Tipton, MO driver Brett Combs. Veteran Randy Martin charged from seventh to third at the stripe, Tyler Elliott was fourth and Natalie Doney completed the top five. The 360 Winged Sprint Cars completed two heat races for their opening act. In heat one it was Australian Todd Moule bringing the “Sunday Night Thunder from Down Under” taking the win in comfortable fashion. Samuel Wagner would finish second with Taylor Walton taking the number three spot, Jack Wagner would finish fourth and Aubrey Smith completed the top five. In the second heat, point leader Ben Brown would take the win with Garrett Benson in second. Broc Elliott was end his race long charge in the third spot with Miles Paulus fourth and Natalie Doney in fifth.

The Super Stock Feature led off the second half of the evening’s card. With hard chargers James Nighswonger and Clayton Campbell on the front row the race would shape up to be a good one. After a close side by side duel with Campbell low and Nighswonger high for the opening circuits, Nighswonger would gain a small advantage until a lap eight caution would bring the field to the rear bumper of the #44. On the restart Nighswonger held the lead but a bobble in turn two allowed Campbell to pull alongside. The #44 of Nishwonger stayed committed to the low line so Campbell went to the cushion keeping his momentum up. The white flag waved as the leaders sped into turn one the #44 on the bottom and the #30C on the cushion. Exiting turn two Nighswonger washed up the track and Campbell pounced turning off the cushion down the track and makes the pass down the back stretch. Nighswonger would close but Campbell held on for a win by less than a car length. Eddie Keeran drove a strong race to take home the third spot, with Dale Berry taking fourth and Steve Beach completing the top five. Fred Kilmer and Adam Halley completed the running order.

The middle event on the feature card was the 305 Winged Sprint Car Feature event. “Fast” Jack Thomas of Bates City put his #63 to the point and looked to be on cruise control. The first ten laps went by quickly before a caution for the #5T of James Turnbull brought out the events first caution closing the field on the rear bumper of the leader. On the restart cagy veteran Martin pulled alongside the #63 in turn two but the leader pulled ahead in turn three. The second caution flew after lap 11 was complete as Brett Combs got over the cushion in turn 4 and looped it around. As the green flag racing resumed the running order was unchanged. Natalie Doney started pressuring Tyler Elliott for the third spot and Brett Combs started to work his way back up the ranks. The feature would stay green the duration of the event with Thomas picking up another win at Double X. Randy Martin would finish second, Natalie Doney finished a strong third, Tyler Elliott was fourth, Doug Fry crossed in fifth and Brett Combs completed the running order in sixth.

The 360 Winged Sprint Cars wrapped up the evening as they always do. Aussie invader Todd Moule making his first visit to Double X starts on the pole alongside weekly competitor Ben Brown. Moule would set the pace running the cushion as Brown would put on the pressure, briefly taking the lead on lap six but the Aussie would power back by. A caution after lap seven would bunch the field. Moule would take off on the restart and open an 8 car length lead over Brown but a caution on lap 12 would slow the pace once again. Back to green flag racing and Brown makes a strong bid on the bottom but Moule would keep the momentum with his right rear dancing on the cushion. Brown would keep digging and on lap 22 take over the top spot. A caution one lap later would see Moule retire to the pit area. Brown would lead the distance to pick up the victory with Garrett Benson claiming the runner up and Broc Elliott finishing out the podium in third. Casey Shuman would post a season best fourth place and Taylor Walton finished fifth.

Nest week the B Modifieds will make their final appearance of the season at Double X, joining the 360 Winged Sprints and the Super Stocks. Sunday August 4 will conclude the season for 2024 at Double X Speedway. The Super Stocks, Pure Stocks and 360 Winged Sprint Cars will be in competition.

Shane Golobic wins Speedweek finale at Placerville/ Andy Forsberg brings home championship

By Gary Thomas

Placerville, CA…A dramatic battle for the SCCT Speedweek title came right down to the wire on Saturday, which saw Auburn’s Andy Forsberg fend off Oakley’s Dylan Bloomfield by four slim points to wrap up the championship.

Fremont’s Shane Golobic also held off a hard-charging Justin Sanders of Aromas to win a thrilling Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour main event at Placerville Speedway on Saturday night. Colfax driver Ben Wiesz brought home victory in the Nor-Cal Dwarf Car Association feature.

The 35-lap SCCT Speedweek finale showcased an entertaining contest with action all over the Placerville Speedway bullring. Golobic jumped out front at the waving of the Ron Stahl green flag, as he looked to make it three wins in a row during SCCT Western Sprint Speedweek.

The action behind him was as good as it gets however, with Andy Forsberg and Dylan Bloomfield locked into several battles while going after the overall championship. Plenty of side-by-side racing was seen and positions changed on the the regular during the main event.

The Speedweek title also switched hands on several occasions, while the race for the top-spot heated up as well. Aromas driver Justin Sanders closed in on Golobic as lapped traffic came into play. The fight for the race win and the Speedweek victory kept fans on the edge of their seats in the waning laps.

Sanders hounded Golobic and looked to find a way past but couldn’t get an opening as Golobic grabbed his third Speedweek win in a row. It marked his 16th career SCCT triumph, which ranks number one all-time. Lincoln’s Tanner Carrick had also closed in on the front duo over the closing laps and on the final corner, made the move to nip Sanders at the line for second.

Sanders, Hanford’s Michael Faccinto and High Sierra Industries Dash winner Austin Wood completed the top-five. Rounding out the top-10 were Chance Grasty, Pit Stop USA Hard Charger Sean Becker, Dylan Bloomfield, Andy Forsberg and Colby Copeland.

As the race wound down, Bloomfield looked to be in position for the SCCT Speedweek title but caught the cushion a couple times and lost just enough spots to allow Forsberg the opportunity.

When all was said and done, Forsberg brought home the $3,000 championship by just four points over Bloomfield, and 14-markers ahead of Shane Hopkins, who also gave it a valiant run all week long. Corbin Rueschenberg and Colby Copeland finished fourth and fifth respectively in the week-long race.

Dunnigan’s Luke Hayes began the evening by earning his first career Sierra Foothills Wine Services Fast Time Award, pacing the 28-car field with a lap of 11.029.

The Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour will now take an extended break, before resuming things on Saturday September 21st with the annual Adobe Cup at Petaluma Speedway. Placerville Speedway returns to action this coming Saturday July 27th with the annual Carnett Clash.

Bard’s Scores First Career 410 Sprint Victory on Familiar Turf

Mill Hall, PA - Garrett Bard of Wells Tannery, PA earned his first career 410 Sprint Car victory at a track that he is very familiar. Bard is a two-time track champion at the 1/3 mile oval in the RaceSaver Sprint Car division. He has supported every 410 show held at Clinton, since moving to the premier division, and earned the win over Mark Smith of Sunbury and Chris Frank of Wellsville. Colton Friese of Spring Run won the East Coast Legends and Zak Kline won the 4 Cylinders.

Mark Smith and Garrett Bard led the field of sprint cars to the green flag for the start of the 25 lap feature event. Smith led the first two circuits until Bard powered around the outside to make a pass for lead. By the completion of lap number five, Bard was leading, Smith, Chris Frank, Chad Trout and Josh Beamer. The first caution of the event occurred on lap number eighteen as the leaders had just started racing through lapped traffic. The caution occurred for JT Ferry who stopped on the speedway. Bard held off the challenges of Smith for two more laps, when the caution flag came out again when Dakota Schweikart’s car spun.

Bard once again raced hard into turns one and two with Smith, Frank, Trout and Beamer in the top five. Bard quickly caught the rear of the field once again and began to weave this way through lapped traffic. On lap number 20, Trout and Beamer were in a contested battle for the fourth postion. Beamer managed to secure fourth place on lap number 21.

Bard crossed the line with a margin of victory of 2.4 seconds over Smith, Frank, Beamer, and Trout. Australian Jessie Attard finished sixth followed by Ryan Smith, Dale Blaney, Tyler Rutherford, and Dale Schweikart. Heat races were won by Mark Smith, Bard, Schweikart, and Beamer. Mark Smith set fast time with a lap of 12.631.

Justin Wagaman and Grady McGrew were the front row starters for the East Coast Legends feature event. Fourth place starter, Colton Friese raced his way to the front by the completion of lap number one. McGrew held the second spot and Dalton Friese was running in third. Dalton Friese moved into the runner up postion on lap number four with Scott Houdeshell taking over the third spot. The next lap, Houdeshell took the runner up postion.

On lap number 7 the caution came out for Dalton Friese. With the restart, Colton Friese was again quick on the gas with Houdeshell, Grady McGrew in tow. As the laps winded down, Colton Friese held his postion out in front to lead every lap and earn his second win of the season at the speedway. Houdeshell, McGrew, Justin Wagaman and Scott Spidle rounded out the top five. Sixth through tenth were Dave Benner, Hunter McElroy, Daren Lucas, Dalton Friese and Eric Hurst. Heat races were won by Colton Fries and Dalton Friese

Polesitter, John Stringfellow raced into the early lead of the 4 Cylinder feature event. By the completion of lap number four, Zak Kline raced this way to the front and made a pass for the lead as Coty Maines moved into second place, shuffling Stringfellow back to third place. A three car incident on lap number eight slowed the field, with Kline leading the way for the restart. Kyle Laughbaugh, who started 15th raced his way up to third by lap number ten. Kline held off Maines for the win, over Laughbaugh, Terry Karicher and John Stringfellow. Sixth through tenth were Garrett Lucas, Chase Weaver, Dalton Lucas, Kyle Strouse and Matt Weaver. Heat races were won by Kline and Lucas.

Flick Comes From the Back to Get Sprint Car Victory; Reitz, Rehbergen, and Laskey Also Score at Tri City Raceway Park

(Franklin, PA July 21, 2024): A.J. Flick came from the rear to win the final tune-up for the Krill Recycling 410 Sprints before the FAST on Dirt Sprint Series event coming up at the Tri City Raceway Park. Also joining him in Victory Lane were Chad Reitz (21st Century Energy Group 358 Modifieds), Brent Rhebergen (4 Your Car Connection RUSH Sprint Cars), and Rod Laskey (Hovis Auto & Truck Supply Pro Stocks).

Tyler Esh and Andy Priest paced the Krill Recycling 410 Sprint Cars to the start of the twenty-five laps for the A Main. Denny Peebles and Logan McCandless were in row two, with Jeremy Weaver and Bob Felmee right behind. Jack Sodeman, Jr. and last week’s winner, Mark Smith, aligned in row four. Body McClintock and Vivian Jones made up row five. Then came Andy Cavanaugh and Nathan McDowell. Starting in sixteenth was two-time and defending track champion, A.J. Flick.

Newcomers Esh and Priest led the way on the opening lap. Weaver, McCandless, and Peebles were in the top five. They were followed by Smith, Felmlee, Flick, Vivian Jones, McClintock, and Roman Jones.

Priest did a complete 360 spin in turn two just three laps into the event, but he was able to keep his car moving. The call was made for a flagman’s caution, so Priest regained his position for the restart.

Three laps later, a caution for Aaron Murano closed the field up again. Esh still held control when the race resumed, followed by Priest, Smith, Flick, McCandless, and Weaver trailed him.

Then next fifteen laps were completed under the green. By lap fifteen, Flick advanced to second, and he had the leader in his sights. Two laps later, the front three cars were running nose-to-tail as they tried to negotiate through lapped traffic.

Flick remained in second, and he gained the lead on lap nineteen. Just one lap later, the final caution was displayed for a spin by Dusty Larson at the entry to turn two.

Flick had Smith on his tail for the last restart, but Flick got away cleanly. Smith got second, ahead of McCandless, Esh, and Priest. Weaver, Sodeman, Peebles, Felmlee, and McClintock rounded out the top ten.

Taking the wins in the pair of Krill Recycling Sprint heat races were Jeremy Weaver and Andy Priest. There was no B Main.

Chad Reitz used a lap eight restart to pass Jimmy Holden on the inside of turn one to lead the way in the 21st Century Energy Group 358 Modifieds. Reitz remained out front for the final dozen laps to get the win.

Max Smoker returned to the speedway after a long absence. He was on the pole, with Jimmy Holden by his side. Reitz and Hayden Holden made up row two. They were followed by Jeremy Beichner and Frank Guidace. Ryan Riffe and Makayla Shannon occupied row four. The final row matched Troy McGregor and Garrett Krummert.

Jimmy Holden rode the cushion in turns one and two to take the early lead ahead of Reitz, Smoker, Hayden Holden, and Guidace. The first five remained in that order through the first caution, on lap seven, for McGregor. Another caution slowed the pace on lap eight.

The lap eight restart created the opportunity for Reitz to slip into the lead. Jimmy Holden stayed in second, ahead of Smoker, Guidace, and Beichner.

The final caution came out on lap fifteen for McGregor. Reitz drove away from the field on the restart. The contested position was fourth, with Guidace looking high and low to try to overtake Smoker.

When the checkers flew, it was Reitz, Jimmy Holden, Smoker, Guidace, and Beichner. McGregor, Shannon, and Hayden Holden were the other finishers.

Grabbing the 21st Century Energy Group 358 Modified heat was Chad Reitz. There was no B Main.

Gordon Wins Hall of Fame Battle Royal, Night Two of Speedweek at Grays Harbor Raceway

7/21/24

Elma, WA - Big wins have been piling up for Dominic Gordon of Clovis, CA this past month but none have been bigger than a win at Grays Harbor Raceway in the 360 Hall of Fame Battle Royal. The win on night number two of the Northwest Speedweek Tour paid $5,000 to win.

Dominic Scelzi led the feature for the first 13 laps before he slowed with an unknown mechanical issue in turn two. This turned the lead over to Dominic Gordon, who despite the best efforts of Tyler Thompson, would go the rest of the distance to take the win. Thompson made a couple of charges at Gordon, while also having to keep Colton Heath at bay to roll to a second place finish while Heath was third. The first three heat race wins went to Robbie Price, Levi Kuntz and Jordi Meese, while the second set of heat race wins went to Johnny Burke, Chase Goetz and Colton Heath.

The 2024 Northwest Speedweek Tour “Tribute to Fred Brownfield” continues on to Southern Oregon Speedweek on Tuesday night. Full Speedweek points as well as an update to the Pass Master points will post shortly

Danny Varin Gets It Done at Albany-Saratoga

By Curtis Berleue (Malta, NY) | As the summer months keep rolling on, Danny Varin keeps getting hotter and hotter, earning his second Empire Super Sprints victory in a row and third of the 2024 season on Friday night at Albany-Saratoga Speedway.

Pinnacle Pole Award winner Emily VanInwegen and Shawn Donath would bring the field to green, with Donath using the outside to his advantage and leading lap one.

As the lap counter clicked lap 5, it was still Donath out in front, with Jordan Poirier in second and Billy VanInwegen in third. By lap 7. Donath had caught the tail of the field and began to work lap traffic with Poirier hot on his heels.

A caution on lap 11 for leader Shawn Donath with mechanical issues handed the lead to Poirier. On the ensuing restart Poirier jumped out to the lead. Danny Varin, who had restarted in 6th, got a huge run off turn 2 and by the time he reached turn 3 was in second.

The next lap, Varin threw a slide job on Poirier, took the lead and began to check out from the rest of the field.

With 5 laps to go, the battle for third began to heat up between Davie Franek and Jason Barney. Barney was able to clear Franek, but just one lap later Matt Tanner slipped past Barney and set his sights on second place running Poirier. With a lap to go, Tanner got by Poirier for second, but it was Varin who crossed the finish line first, by a margin of just over 4 seconds.

“What a phenomenal racetrack,” said Varin. “That was elbows up, pounding the cushion, slidejob city. We’ve been leading five features here, and never finished one. This has been a long one coming.”

“That cushion was treacherous, you try to run it hard but you knew you could jump it, and be over it. You had to be patient, you’re leading, and let someone show you their nose before you put everything out there.”

Matt Tanner crossed the line in second after a last lap pass on Jordan Poirier.

“We were pretty bad all night, the guys just kept plugging away at it there,” said Tanner. “Even the first 15 laps of this race we weren’t that good. Three seconds in a row is starting to get old, but at least we’re in the hunt.”

After spending much of the race running second, Jordan Poirier rounded out the Ashley Lynn Winery podium in third.

“We weren’t too good early on, after that yellow the first two laps I was good and then I started getting loose in three and four,” said Poirier. “I tried to venture out, I tried to find some other lane and I just couldn’t do anything. By the end, I was just trying to block and do something. We’re just a tiny bit off or something.”

22 cars signed into the pits for action on the night. Rifenburg Contracting fast time awards went to Jordan Thomas, Danny Varin and Jordan Poirier. Matt Tanner, Danny Varin and Davie Franek picked up E&V Energy heat race wins, while Dale Gosselin won the We Know Tools – Paul Wehnau Snap-on dash.

Danny Varin Continues Sprint Car Dominance at Fonda Speedway

By Curtis Berleue (Fonda, NY) | For the 8th time in the last 9 trips to the Fonda Speedway for the Empire Super Sprints, it was Danny Varin sitting in victory lane at the end of the night. Leading 17 of 25 laps, Varin earned $2,000 for his victory Saturday night, which was also his third tour win in a row and fourth on the season.

Josh Pieniazek and Billy VanInwegen brought the field to green, with Pieniazek taking the lead off of turn two. That lead was short lived, however, as VanInwegen fought back on the outside in turns three and four to lead lap one.

A red flag for an incident in turn one on lap one put Pieniazek and VanInwegen side-by-side again on the ensuing restart, though this time it was Pieniazek who jumped out to the lead. Danny Varin made quick work of VanInwegen and moved into the second spot with two laps down.

For the next handful of laps, Varin stalked the #9 of Pieniazek, searching around the track for a little more speed. Working the bottom on lap 8, Varin was able to get alongside Pieniazek entering turn 3 and by the time the duo reached the flag stand, Varin was in sole possession of the lead.

With Varin checked out on the field, VanInwegen continued working on finding his way around Pieniazek for second place, and was successful on lap 15. Just one lap later, Jordan Thomas would also find his way by Pieniazek and take over third.

For the second time in two nights, Varin had completely checked out on the field and crossed the finish line first uncontested with a 6 second margin of victory.

“I tell you what, my arms are ready to fall off,” said Varin. “What a fun race track. It was touch and go on the bottom, but man that was fast.”

“This team has been firing on all cylinders. We feel really good, 87 Speed has got us really rolling. These guys are making all of the right adjustments in the pits. It’s easy to dial yourself out, but right now these guys are doing a really good job.”

Billy VanInwegen brought his #10V machine home in second place.

“Danny has dominated this place for so many years, so to run second to him, we can’t hang our head about that,” said VanInwegen. “I really wish we could have closed that one out, I think we had a great race car tonight.”

Finishing third was Harding, Pennsylvania’s Jordan Thomas.

“We’ve been pretty fast the last couple of weeks, Speedweek we were fast every night,” said Thomas. “Luck didn’t go our way that week, and here we are again, last night we were fast, and again tonight.”

“I think it would have been tonight to make any moves, Danny’s so fast and everyone kinda has this place figured out.”

The field was split into two timed hot lap groups to start the night, with Jordan Thomas and Danny Varin earning Rifenburg Fast Time awards. E&V Energy heat races were won by Jordan Thomas and Davie Franek, while Kyle Smith won the One Zee Tees dash.

Spithaler sizzles and Rudolph rumbles to twin $3000 410 sprint and BRP modified Michaels memorial wins. Priest(305 sprints), Cipriano (crate mods) and Thompson (minis) return to victory lane.

By Jim Balentine (Mercer,Pa)

On a beautiful mid July Saturday night, Michaels Mercer Raceway held the Michaels memorial which featured twin $3000 to win events for the 410 sprint cars and the BRP modified tour. Brandon Spithaler would take a popular win in the 410 Sprint cars and Erick Rudolph would capture another BRP modified tour win. Veteran Andy priest would dominate the racesaver 305 sprint car feature for his 14th career 305 win, Aiden Cipriano would capture his third career 602 crate modified Mercer feature, and Andy Thompson would return to victory Lane in the mini stocks, capturing his 19th career mini stock feature. 100 cars in 5 divisions would grace the pit area.

22 410 cars would compete for the 3000 to win special with Mark Smith who won last weekend in Western Pennsylvania and Dan Kuriger on the front row. Kuriger would take the lead from the start and would hold Smith at bay for the first half of the race leading by 1.5 seconds at one point. Brandon Spithaler who was driving a borrowed Brent Matus sprint car who was on his way to win a lernerville the previous night until he lost control over turn number three began closing in from his fourth starting position on the 2 leaders. On lap 14 in the nonstop affair Spithaler would make a daring move in turns one and two to get around both leaders and would come out with the lead in turn number three. Kuriger would then fall back to 3rd as Smith would get around at the same time. Smith would then set his sights on the leader getting within half a second, but then on the white flag lap, caution would come out to punch up the field for a one lap shootout. Spithaler would hit his marks perfectly and would take the popular win defeating Smith by .304 to pick up his 12th career winged sprint Mercer checker and $3000.

A joyous Spithaler would say, “it’s just pretty cool to put the 33 on the frontchute and maybe they’ll (Brent and Jackie Matus) let me do it again sometime!! we went out to Indiana for the FAST sprint show and we hurt an engine out there in the 22 and so because of that we’re down and we have to concentrate on the points races since we’re leading the points with fast so the 22 will be out some of the year, but it only will be out for FAST points races and a couple outlaw shows so maybe I can get a couple more nights in this thing. I knew Mark Smith was faster than Dan Kuriger and I wanted to make sure that when I finally got by Mark, I knew I was better than him at the time and I know he kind of was pretty decent at the end too, but I wanted to strike as quick as I could to get Kuriger surprised in traffic and then hopefully try to run away with it!” Smith would settle for second Kuriger third, AJ flick would move up from 6th to 4th and Brandon Matus would move up one spot to 5th.

In the BRP modified tour Ransomville New York’s Erick Rudolph has been dominating the tour for the past couple years and last night was no exception as he came from his eighth starting spot to pick up the $3000 Michaels memorial in the 35 lap affair. Shannon Whaley would lead the first 2 laps from the outside pole until former BRP mod Mercer winner Garrett Krummert would take over in lap 3. While Krummert was looking for another BRP mod tour win eighth starting spot Erick Rudolph with methodically work his way up through traffic in his usual style. He would be up to fourth by lap number four and then overtook veteran Dave Murdick for second on lap number 11. It would then turn into the Rudolph Krummert show as Rudolph would chip away at Krummert’s lead going from 2.2 seconds back to just .044 on lap 20 and then it would be go time as he would get around Krummert on lap 21 and would then dominate leading the rest of the 35 lap affair winning by 2.7 seconds over Krummert. Canadian Tyler Willard would get around Murdick for 3rd on lap 28, Murdick would finish 4th and Rex King Jr., who would come from the rear of the field after suffering a flat tire would make his way all the way back to fifth at the finish

Rudolph would say, “We actually had a flat tire at the end. That’s what took me so long to come back out so we didn’t ruin the wheel, but my guys gave me an awesome car tonight you know we had to put her together and figure out a way to get through those rollers out there and able to put something together I thought we might had something and we were pretty good out there in the feature.”

Andy Priest who began his racing career in 1982 at his home track at Mercer nabbed his 14th career racesaver 305 sprint car feature last night dominating after he took the lead on lap number four. 2019 champ Jake Gomola would lead the first 4 until Priest took over. Wow priest was starting to pull away. The real battle would be for second as 8 time winner Gomola, nine time winner Jeremy Kornbau and 7 time winner Greg Dobrosky would slice and dice for position lap after lap utilizing the entire wide racing surface. A red would come out for a violent flip on lap 14 by Hunter Hite in turn 2 would slow the field. Hite was OK after the incident. On the restart, Priest would takeoff and win by 2.7 seconds over Gomola. Kornbau would finish 3rd Dobrosky 4th and Jim Pattock

Andy would say “My goodness I’m old. I don’t have any hair. I can’t see so the bright white wall helped!! these cars are pretty fast so it makes it fun. There’s not a lot of adjustments to make. You can use a lot of the used stuff from the 410 other than the right rear tire, which makes it a lot easier. I have always been a high side guy, so I get bored on the bottom.. things are turning around here so please continue to support this track!”

18 year old Ayden Cipriano withstood several challenges by longtime Mercer veterans to pick up his 3rd career 602 crate modified feature. Even though he led the entire way, it would not be easy at 16 time winner and multi time track champion Eric Gabany would follow in his trail the entire 20 lap distance but could not get around as Cipriano won by 2.0 over the veteran. Jeff Schaffer Sr., who had to put for a flat tire on the first lap would come from the tail to finish 3rd. Ryan Guthrie crossed the line in 4th but unfortunately did not to go tech after so he was put to last place moving Caden Petry to 4th and previous winner Pat Lane from 8th to 5th.

Cipriano would state,”I was focusing on hitting my marks and staying on the bottom against them. I’m always scared that he’s (Gabany) gonna be right behind me. He has proved many times to me and everybody else that he is one of the fastest people in Pennsylvania!! I’m just glad I was able to hold them off tonight!! they are always tough to race against especially because I’m so young but I’m glad that I’ve been able to build a good bond with all the guys that I race with and I’m just glad that we were able to take it home tonight. We race so much that at the end of the day you’re not going to get anything if you don’t practice and we probably practice the most out of everyone around here.”

Randy Ealy would lead the 15 lap mini stock nightcapper until lap 4 when 18 time winner Andy Thompson would overtake him. Devin Haley would get around Ealy on lap 7. The top 6 would be under a blanket as Mike Kelly would come out of nowhere riding the high side around the pack. Kelly would take 2nd on lap 11 over Ealy but then Ealy would regain 2nd on lap 13 and try to catch Thompson but Thompson was too far ahead and won his 19th career mini stock feature by 1.39. Kelly finished 3rd, Corey Bice 4th and 2 time winner Carl Ealy 5th.

“I knew the competition was stiff tonight.” Thompson said, “Everybody stepping their game up. I gotta give hats off to the track crew the track was great. There’s a lot of bite. I’ve been traveling around because Mercer has been taking a few weeks off and this is probably the best place we’ve been this year. These cars are all homemade they’re not bought they’re built..We don’t buy motors, We don’t buy cars, We build them all!

SCHUETT STRIKES FOR FIRST CAREER MOWA WIN

Saturday’s Tom Knowles Memorial at Spoon River Speedway produced another first time winner with the Morrow Brothers Ford MOWA Sprint Car Series. Philo, Illinois racer Kyle Schuett started the race in the ninth position and found himself in victory lane at the end of the 25-lap affair.

Luke Verardi and Ryan Bunton led the field to green, with Bunton taking command of the field on lap one. As Bunton raced around the ⅜-mile oval, drivers behind were swapping for position with Paul Nienhiser putting his #9X on the topside of the speedway as he looked to overtake Bunton.On lap four, Nienhiser made a move to take over the top spot, only to have his bid withdrawn as Shelby Bosie spun at the bottom of turn two, reverting to the last scored lap. Bunton knew that Nienhiser was close behind and he went into defense mode.

When the field returned to green, Bunton changed his line to protect the top shelf while Nienhiser moved to the bottom side of the track. By lap six, Nienhiser had moved his way past Bunton to overtake the top spot. With Nienhiser pulling away, the battle behind ensued as Kyle Schuett had worked from his ninth starting spot to third by lap ten. Will Armitage and polesitter Luke Verardi were trading lines for the fourth and fifth just as the field slowed for a spinning Shelby Bosie.

Paul Nienhiser led the field back to green at lap ten with Kyle Schuett in tow. A three way battle for third between Will Armitage, Ryan Bunton and Luke Verardi caught the eyes of many, allowing the top two drivers to pull away. Schuett, running second, quickly made up ground on Paul Nienhiser by lap 15 as he made a daring move past Nienhiser into turn three to take the lead. Will Armitage then found a hint of speed and quickly moved past Nienhiser to overtake the runner up spot. Schuett’s pace never seemed to slow as he held a nearly 1.5-second lead over Will Armitage and Paul Nienhiser with two laps remaining. Knowing time was running out, Armitage gave it one last-ditch effort and nearly overtook Schuett as the two raced back to the checkered, ultimately coming up short.

Schuett crossed under the checkers ahead of Will Armitage, Paul Nienhiser, Luke Verardi and Ryan Bunton. “It’s pretty cool to win (the Knowles), I knew starting ninth it was going to be tough but the car handled great all night. I saw (Will) Armitage’s shadow behind me and I told myself, “Don’t screw up”, and it paid off”, said Kyle Schuett in victory lane.

Feature Finish: 1. Kyle Schuett [9], 2. Will Armitage [5], 3. Paul Nienhiser [6], 4. Luke Verardi [1], 5. Ryan Bunton [2], 6. Brayton Lynch [12], 7. Korey Weyant [15], 8. Karter Sarff [7], 9.

Rhodes repeats as ‘Power’ winner
07-21-2024

Thanks to a couple of rainouts, it took the River Valley Builders PA Sprint Series until midseason to make its first appearance at its oldest stop, the quarter-mile Path Valley Speedway bullring, but Zach Rhodes and his fellow IMCA/RaceSaver competitors made sure the large crowd remembered why PASS keeps coming back.

The McVeytown driver in the Weaver Racing/Renegade Race Fuels/Raze Energy Drink #31Z fought his way past Mike Alleman of Port Royal to take the lead with five laps remaining in the 25-lap feature and won the PASS portion of the special Dr. Crouse’s Night of Power program for the second consecutive year.

The margin of victory was three-quarters of a second.

Doug Dodson of Middletown, who charged from tenth starting position, also got past Alleman on the next-to-last lap and finished second, while Alleman, who was oh-so-close to his first feature victory since taking his only career checkered flag at this track 23 years ago, came home third.

Jeff Weaver of Lock Haven came home fourth, and Jerald Harris of Dayton, Va., was fifth.

Timmy Bittner, Austin Reed, Larry McVay, Ken Duke Jr., and Kenny Heffner rounded out the top ten. Reed and McVay were the only drivers other than Rhodes who finished in the top ten last year as well.

Heffner, of Watsontown, claimed the W.C. Eshenaur & Son Hard Charger Award, advancing 11 positions after starting 21st. Dodson’s advance through the top 10 also was noteworthy, as was Bittner’s charge of seven spots. Drew Ritchey of Everett also had an impressive move through the field, but his night ended with mechanical failure after 16 laps.

Rhodes had shown his potential with his 2.5-second win over Weaver in the first heat race, and when he drew the outside front row starting position, he became an obvious favorite, but it was Alleman, to his inside, who took the early lead and held a slim-but-significant margin. The leaders began to encounter traffic on lap seven, but Kruz Kepner stopped on the backstretch and brought out a caution less than a minute later, giving Alleman an open track after he executed a strong restart.

By lap 15, traffic again became an issue, and Rhodes began to challenge for the lead. On the 19th lap, he slipped past Alleman’s #46, but the veteran RaceSaver competitor – who ran in the series’ first event in 1999 – came back to grab the top spot half a lap later.

In the same spot on lap 20, Rhodes slipped past again, and this time his lead held.

The 17-lap green-flag run saw wholesale changes of position throughout the field. At the end, 19 of the 24 starters remained on the track.

The win was Rhodes’ fifth with PASS (he has wins with other RaceSaver groups as well), second of the season, and second at Path Valley. All have come since his alliance with Weaver Racing last season, when the team finished second in River Valley Builders PASS championship points.

Besides Rhodes, Reed, Owen Dimm, and Dylan Shatzer took heat race wins as the 31-car field was trimmed to 24 starters. Heffner won the B-Main. Highlights in the preliminary events included Shatzer’s last-lap pass of Ryan Lynn for victory in the fourth heat, Jarrett Cavalet’s charge from eighth starting position to a qualifying/redraw third spot at the finish, and Ritchey’s run from ninth starting spot to second in the B-Main.

Mike Melair and Ritchey tangled in the first heat, but Melair was able to continue, and Ritchey came back to qualify through the B-Main. The only significant incident in the feature was on the first effort at starting it, when Matt Kline took a hard bounce after hitting one of the infield tires.

Racing for the River Valley Builders PASS tour was scheduled to continue Saturday with the once-postponed Keystone RaceSaver Challenge at Port Royal Speedway.

Next weekend, PASS will make its first-ever visit to Winchester Speedway in Virginia for a race-co-sanctioned by the Virginia Sprint Series and Laurel Highlands Sprint Series.

The tour is scheduled to return to Path Valley on August 17.

(7/20/24) Cannon McIntosh would ride the high line to success of Spoon River Speedway to earn his twenty-fifth career feature win with the POWRi National Midget League, running in conjunction with Xtreme Outlaw Midget Series presented by Toyota, on Saturday Night’s exhilarating action after leading the final ten laps.

Early on-track excitement with twenty top-notch and eager entries to the POWRi National Midgets, running in conjunction with Xtreme Outlaw Midgets, would find Hayden Reinbold start the action off with a quick-time in group hot-lap qualifying with a time of 13.591-second as Gavin Miller, Ryan Timms, and Ashton Torgerson would each notch heat racing victories.

Setting the feature field would find the high-point qualifier Ryan Timms roll an invert of six to set Ashton Torgerson and Tyler Edwards on the front row leading the field as the green flag flew with Tyler Edwards gaining the initial advantage on the opening lap as Ashton Torgerson, Hayden Reinbold, Cannon McIntosh, and Chase McDermand battled inside the early top five.

Overtaking for the lead on lap two would find Ashton Torgerson moving into the top position briefly as Hayden Reinbold would move past using a speedy low line on lap three.

Leading intently, Hayden Reinbold would appear to be on a rail as intense battles would be displayed behind the leader with Ashton Torgerson staying within striking distance and Gavin Miller and Cannon McIntosh rounded out the running top positions.

Briefly retaking the top spot for a pair of laps Ashton Torgerson and Hayden Reinbold would each run a very different line with Reinbold’s low line regaining the first position on lap nine as Gavin Miller moved into third with McIntosh, McDermand, Zach Daum, and Jacob Denney all showing speed.

Flying into the lead with a daring lap twenty-one maneuver would find Cannon McIntosh using high-side momentum in turns one and two to get around the low-running Hayden Reinbold with Chase McDermand, Zach Daum, and the hard-charging Jacob Denney moving into the top five.

Bunching the field back together after a lap twenty-two caution would find Cannon McIntosh setting the pace on the restart as McIntosh would defend the front of the field through the final eight laps with outstanding battles to gain his third seasonal victory with one-time leader Hayden Reinbold holding onto the runner-up spot as Jacob Denney finalized the podium placements in a hard-fought feature from starting eleventh.

“The first step is not giving it away when I get into the car, I had a goal to move forward no matter what and go where they weren’t” said current POWRi point leader and victor Cannon McIntosh in the Spoon River winner’s circle. Adding, “I’d say mid-way through the race I figured out the top side then I had to switch up my line after the caution and I can’t thank this team for giving me such an amazing car.”

Flying through the field would find Zach Daum finish fourth with night one winner Ryan Timms rounding out the POWRi National Midget League, running in conjunction with the Xtreme Outlaw Midget Series presented by Toyota, top-five finishers at Spoon River Speedway.

Shane Golobic claims first career Tyler Wolf Memorial victory

By Gary Thomas

Chico, CA…Fremont’s Shane Golobic has grabbed several special wins in his Sprint Car career and on Friday night the veteran added another, by scoring the $5,000 top prize at the Tyler Wolf Memorial in Chico. It was Golobic’s second consecutive triumph during SCCT Western Speedweek and marked his 15th all-time victory with the Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour.

Special thanks to Demo Mitty of Mittry Construction, along with Gary Perkins and Keith Arellano for bumping up the winners share at the 11th running of the Tyler Wolf Memorial.

The Silver Dollar Speedway showcased a terrific atmosphere during the penultimate round of Speedweek and the drivers certainly gave the fans on hand an intriguing feature.

Paradise driver John Michael Bunch began the evening by setting a new SCCT track record, before winning the High Sierra Industries Dash. One of the biggest roars of the night came when Bunch decided to take the Tyler Wolf Challenge and forgo his pole position, in favor of heading back to start 19th and have a shot at making some extra cheddar.

The 35-lap finale came to the line with Chico’s Kenny Allen and Golobic sharing the front row. A big pileup occurred on the opening lap however, and Bunch was among the drivers that needed to head for the work area. Once things got going it was Allen who jumped into the lead impressively and fended off every challenge that Golobic threw his way.

The former Silver Dollar Speedway Rookie of the Year hasn’t raced much the last couple years and did a fantastic job out front leading some of the top names in California Sprint Car racing. Golobic was patient as always though and waited for the opportunity to pounce, which came on lap 16.

With Allen getting a bit tight on the cushion Golobic dove below and grabbed the lead. After that he pulled away from the field but the action behind him was as hot as the weather outside. Dylan Bloomfield and Tanner Carrick were worth the price of admission on this night, battling back and forth for numerous laps.

Bloomfield solidified the runner up spot on lap 29 and then began to reel in the leader. The 18-year-old from Oakley looked like a rocket ship as he came after Golobic and when the white flag waved, he was right there. Rounding the final set of corners it looked to be a classic finish, only to have the yellow lights flash on, bringing things to a halt.

It set up a two-lap shootout that saw Golobic hit his marks to bring home the win ahead of Bloomfield, Carrick, Justin Sanders and Andy Forsberg. Finishing sixth through 10th were Chance Grasty, Shane Hopkins, Corbin Rueschenberg, Nick Parker and Allen. John Clarke earned the Pit Stop USA Hard Charger Award, while Bunch was able to finish 16th after taking the Tyler Wolf Challenge.

Thanks to the graciousness of several people during the night, extra money was added to the hard charger and the 19th place finisher among others. A strong field of 42 cars competed with SCCT on Friday night. Bunch took home a total of $300 for setting the Sierra Foothills Wine Services Fast Time to begin the program.

The Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour finishes off Speedweek tonight at Placerville Speedway. Auburn’s Andy Forsberg brings the point lead into the grand finale. He holds a seven-point advantage over a two way tie for second between Dylan Bloomfield and Shane Hopkins.

Nickles wins the ‘Run For The Rabbit’, Sherman doubles up in Thunderstocks and Modifieds at Limaland

July 19, 2024

Lima, OH

By Gerry Keysor

After being postponed twice due to weather, the ‘Run For The Rabbit’, the annual event honoring the memory of Limaland favorite Travis “The Rabbit” Miller, was held at Limaland Motorsports park Friday night under beautiful weather conditions.

Harrod, Ohio’s Jac Nickles piloted his yellow No.31 to victory in the GLSS Ohio CAT Sprint Car Series A feature. In Lock Sixteen Thunderstock feature action it was No. 60 Todd Sherman picking up the win, then jumping in his No. 65 DIRTcar UMP Modified to win that feature as well.

Kicking off feature action were the Lock Sixteen Thunderstocks with their 15 lap A Main. No. 74D Craig Dippman and No. 1 Dylan Drake would lead the field to the initial green, with No. 60 Todd Sherman being the victim of the field checking up in front of him and spinning, forcing him to go to the tail as the field would face a complete restart. Dippman would lead the initial 5 laps before slowing with mechanical problems, forcing him out of the race. No. 82 Chris Douglas would inherit the lead with Drake in second until Drake would spin in turn 4 on lap six, bringing out the caution once again. Sherman put on a clinic making his way thru the field to take the lead on lap eight, and would survive multiple cautions to pick up the win. Douglas would finish second, with No. 22T Tony Anderson third, UNOH Racer Houston Null fourth in the No. 11, and No. 8 Zach Rush completing the top 5.

Next up was the GLSS Ohio CAT Sprint Car 25 lap A Main honoring the memory of Travis Miller, who competed in the 360 Sprint Cars until he passed away in 1999. Wapakoneta, Ohio’s Devon Dobie in the No. 23 and Jac Nickles in No. 31 would lead the 21-car field to the green flag with Dobie taking the early lead. Nickles would slip past Dobie to grab the top spot on lap 2, before action was slowed a lp later for a 3-car pileup in turn 2 that saw the No. 20i of Kelsey Ivy tip onto it’s side, bringing out the red flag. Ivy would walk away unharmed. As racing resumed, Kasey Jedrzejek would power by on the outside of Nickles in turn one, looking to grab his second straight Limaland victory in the Ed Neumeister owned No. 11N. Nickles would keep Jedrzejek in striking distance, while having to hold off challenges from the No. X of Mike Keegan. On lap 20, Nickles found his opportunity to slip past Jedrzejek on the inside of turn 4, taking the lead and cruising to his first GLSS victory. Jedrzejek would finish second, with No. 71H Max Stambaugh third, Keegan fourth and No. 22H Randy Hannagan fifth.

Completing the night were the DIRTcar UMP Modifieds in their 20-lap feature event. No. 4 Jason Kinney and UNOH Racer Brayden Weller in the UNOH No. 01 would make up the front row. Kinney would lead early, with Weller second, as UNOH Racer Randy Giroux in the No. 1 would battle with No. 65 Todd Sherman for third. Caution flags on lap two, three, and four would slow competition, until the field ran green to the finish, Sherman would battle past Weller for second, and No. 16 Jeff Koz would do the same to grab third. Sherman would take the lead on lap 7, and never look back, winning over Koz, No. 5X Jerry Bowersock, Kinney and Giroux.

Limaland Motorsports Park will be back in action next Friday July 26th for Season Championship Night, presented by Alexander and Bebout. Join us as we wrap up the season points standings for 2024 in both the DIRTcar UMP Modifieds, and Lock Sixteen Thunderstocks. Also in action will be the always exciting Dirt Track Truck Series. Pit gates open at 4:30PM, Grandstand Gates open at 5:00PM, Hot laps at 6:30PM, and racing at 7:30PM.

Ryan Timms Reigns Supreme with POWRi National Midgets and Xtreme at Spoon River Speedway

Belleville, IL. (7/19/24) Ryan Timms would make the overnight trip from wing racing in Eldora worth the haul to Spoon River Speedway to earn his sixth career feature win with the POWRi National Midget League, running in conjunction with Xtreme Outlaw Midget Series presented by Toyota, on Friday Night’s exhilarating action after leading all twenty-five feature laps.

Early on-track excitement with twenty top-notch entries to the POWRi National Midgets running in conjunction with Xtreme Outlaw Midgets would find Tyler Edwards start the action off with a track record quick time in group hot-lap qualifying with a 13.377-second lap as Cannon McIntosh, Ryan Timms, and Chase McDermand would each notch heat racing victories.

Setting the feature field would find the high-point qualifier Cannon McIntosh roll an invert of zero to set himself and Ryan Timms on the front row leading the field as the green flag flew with Ryan Timms gaining the initial advantage on the opening lap as Chase McDermand, Cannon McIntosh, Tyler Edwards, and Hayden Reinbold battled inside the early top five.

Quickly separating from the field, the top three with Ryan Timms, Chase McDermand, and Cannon McIntosh would start to search for speed around Spoon River Speedway with Hayden Reinbold and Tyler Edwards in tow within the top five as Kale Drake and Zach Daum battled intently behind.

Checking out to over a two-second advantage, Ryan Timms would appear to be the fastest of the field with Chase McDermand and Cannon McIntosh keeping Hayden Reinbold and Kale Drake at bay inside the running top five as Tyler Edwards, Zach Daum, Ashton Torgerson, Gavin Miller, and Jacob Denney, from starting rear in a back-up car, rounded out the running top ten.

Bunching the field back together with a lap sixteen caution would see Ryan Timms pacing the competition with nine laps left as Cannon McIntosh would shoot to second on the restart with Chase McDermand, Hayden Reinbold, and Tyler Edwards stalking the leading Timms.

Separating again by over three seconds in the closing laps of the feature, Ryan Timms would not be denied in gaining his second seasonal victory with Cannon McIntosh solidifying the runner-up spot as a late-closing hard-charging Gavin Miller finalized the podium placements in a hard-fought feature.

“I knew starting outside pole was going to be really convenient with the high line getting the early jumps, I saw Chase early but I just felt so fast and comfortable out front.” said the victorious Ryan Timms in the Spoon River winner’s circle. Adding, “I felt like running the wing car at Eldora actually helped here because I was able to just stand on it can keep this car as straight as I could.”

Flying through the field would find Hayden Reinbold finish fourth with Chase McDermand rounding out the POWRi National Midget League, running in conjunction with the Xtreme Outlaw Midget Series presented by Toyota, top-five finishers at Spoon River Speedway.

Shane Golobic surges to 14th career SCCT win on Thursday at Marysville Raceway

By Gary Thomas

Marysville, CA…Shane Golobic made his first start of SCCT Speedweek count on Thursday night at Marysville Raceway, as he drove to his 14th career Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour triumph.

With the win the Fremont native now moves back out front all by himself as the all-time leader in SCCT victories.

“It’s nice to get a win during our first start of SCCT Speedweek here in Marysville,” Golobic said following the race. “It was a tricky track tonight, but luckily, we were able to get out front and set the pace. Hopefully we can carry the momentum into Chico tomorrow and Placerville on Saturday.”

SCCT Western Sprint Speedweek Round two and three winner Colby Copeland jumped out front at the waving of the green flag in the 35-lapper. Early on Harrisburg, Oregon driver Tyler Thompson hounded the rear of the VSR No. 5v, as he looked for his second victory of Speedweek.

Lapped traffic created some excitement during the opening stages of the feature and on lap 10, Shane Golobic went two for one, getting by both Thompson and Golobic in one fell swoop. Several yellows slowed the flow of the contest after that, but through it all, Golobic remained calm, cool and collected.

The driver of the NOS Energy Drink No. 17w had his way with things out front and went on to cross under the Darin Stahl checkered flag for victory.

Auburn’s Andy Forsberg made a late pass to secure the runner up position and in doing so, became the brand new SCCT season long point leader. It also marked his third podium of SCCT Speedweek. Thompson, Shane Hopkins and Dylan Bloomfield rounded out the top-five.

Completing the top-10 in the main event were Pit Stop USA Hard Charger Tanner Carrick, who came from 17th to sixth over Copeland, Nick Parker, Dawson Hammes and Steel Powell.

With four rounds complete in SCCT Speedweek, Colby Copeland continues to lead the standings by 13-points over Tyler Thompson. Forsberg sits 15-digits back in third, with Shane Hopkins 19-points behind in fourth. Dylan Bloomfield rounds out the top-five.

The Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour will continue Western Sprint Speedweek at the Silver Dollar Speedway in Chico on Friday. The event marks the annual Tyler Wolf Memorial.

Colby Copeland goes back-to-back in SCCT Speedweek action at The Douglas County Dirt Track

By Gary Thomas

Roseburg, Oregon…For the second consecutive night with SCCT Speedweek it was the Colby Copeland show, as the Roseville driver checked out and cruised to victory at The Douglas County Dirt Track on Wednesday.

Copeland was able to stretch his Speedweek point lead to 21-markers over Tyler Thompson heading into tomorrow’s show at Marysville Raceway. His win in Roseburg, Oregon was career triumph number five with the Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour.

The initial start of the 30-lap finale saw Medford, Oregon’s Bailey Hibbard get upside down to bring out a red flag. He emerged okay but was done for the event.

When things got going again it was Langley, BC driver Levi Klatt leading the opening lap, before Copeland shot by to grab the point.

Despite Copeland rocketing away from the field, the action behind him remained extremely entertaining, as cars sliced and diced on the well-prepared surface. Yuba City youngster Seth Standley drove another impressive race jumping into second on lap six.

Standley hung onto second until lap 21 when Corbin Rueschenberg made the pass. Shortly after that, a red flag period occurred and during it, Standley had a fuel leak that put an unfortunate end to his feature.

There was no stopping Copeland up front who blitzed away and hid for the win. Rueschenberg crossed the stripe in second to earn his second straight runner up finish, while Dominic Gorden kept things exciting, as he rode the high side to a third-place result.

Levi Klatt and Oregon racer Garen Linder rounded out the top-five. Completing the top-10 were Pit Stop USA Hard Charger Shane Hopkins, who carved his way from 15th to sixth over Dylan Bloomfield, Tyler Thompson, Braden Chiaramonte and Andy Forsberg.

Chiaramonte also thrilled the crowd on hand by running the fonz until getting into the wall and suffering a flat tire while battling around the top-five. After going to the work area, he rebounded in ninth to maintain his SCCT point lead.

A total of 24 cars competed on night three of SCCT Speedweek. Andy Forsberg began the evening by earning the Sierra Foothills Wine Services Fast Time Award with a lap of 13.274.

The Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour will continue Western Sprint Speedweek at the Marysville Raceway on Thursday July 18th.

Colby Copeland strikes for Coos Bay Speedway victory Tuesday with SCCT

By Gary Thomas

Coos Bay, Oregon…Roseville’s Colby Copeland started from the pole and dominated the main event en route to his fourth career SCCT victory on Tuesday night at Coos Bay Speedway.

In doing so, the driver of the Van Lare Steering Repair No. 5v machine also took over the Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour Speedweek point lead with two rounds complete.

“We had a great car tonight and it’s awesome to be up here in victory lane at another Speedweek race,” Copeland said. “I want to thank Jim and Annette Van Lare, the entire 5v team and all you fans for coming out to support tonight’s race.”

Race teams and fans battled through a couple of rain delays early on, before Mother Nature cooperated and allowed things to get underway.

Copeland jumped into the lead at the waving of the green flag in the 35-lapper after claiming the High Sierra Industries Dash and was never seriously challenged. Yuba City driver Seth Standley was on the move early as he took over third on lap five. The 18-year-old then proceeded to slice his way into second with 11 circuits complete.

Another youngster, however, in the form of Arizona racer Corbin Rueschenberg found a nice line a little higher than most and fought his way into second on lap 21. Shortly after that, Standley encountered unfortunate issues that left him parked in turn four.

Copeland easily pulled away from the field over the remaining distance and crossed the stripe for victory. His fourth career SCCT triumph ties him with Andy Forsberg and Rico Abreu on the all-time win list. Rueschenberg came home in second to score his best career SCCT finish.

Auburn’s Andy Forsberg rounded out the podium to snag his second straight top-three result to begin Speedweek. Placerville’s Shane Hopkins put together another fine run in fourth after starting from the outside of row six. It was good enough to net him the Pit Stop USA Hard Charger Award.

Monday night winner Tyler Thompson of Harrisburg, Oregon completed the top-five. Finishing sixth through 10th were Oakley’s Dylan Bloomfield, El Cajon’s Braden Chiaramonte, Langley, BC driver Levi Klatt, Hanford’s Ryan Rocha and Wilton’s Ashlyn Rodriguez.

Heat race wins went to Copeland, Rueschenberg and Seth Standley. Tyler Thompson opened the night by setting a new Coos Bay Speedway track record with a lap of 11.501.

The Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour will continue Western Sprint Speedweek at The Douglas County Dirt Track in Roseburg, Oregon on Wednesday July 17th.

Paul Nienhiser Rallies Late At Indee For His Fifth Sprint Invaders Victory of 2024

Independence IA (July 16th) - Winning for the fifth time in nine events on the 2024 schedule, it can be said that Chapin, Illinois, driver Paul Nienhiser is having a dominating season with the Mohrfeld Solar Sprint Invaders. However, on Tuesday night at the Independence Motor Speedway, Paul's route to victory lane was anything but easy despite starting from the outside of the front row in the twenty-five lap main event.

Pole-sitter Colton Fisher would battle Nienhiser wheel-to-wheel down the backstretch on the opening lap before sliding up in front of the series point leader to snare the race lead. And then the third-starting Ryan Bunton would soon power under Nienhiser to move to second before taking up the chase on the leader. As the top two closed in on the back of the field on lap ten, Bunton was able to pull even with the rim riding Fisher in turn four only to have Colton ward him off and that same scenario would play out again on lap eleven with Fisher now having to deal with the soon to be lapped cars as well as the challenge from Bunton.

As Colton scored what would have been lap thirteen, he would drop his right rear wheel off the lip of the banked front stretch and that would then steer him off the track and into a wild spin that would see him get on his side before slamming into the guardrail outside of turn one. The only things that was injured on the up and coming young driver was his pride as he knew that he had let this one get away from him.

Bunton would assume the lead for the restart with the hope of getting his first career victory with the Sprint Invaders despite the fact that he is the defending series champion after finishing in the top ten of every event on the schedule in 2023. With Ryan entering the turns low and then exiting toward the top, Nienhiser would now pound the cushion on both ends bringing him ever closer to the leader as the laps counted down. And, with just six laps remaining, that high side momentum would pay off as Paul would sail around Bunton for the lead on the back stretch.

Lapped traffic would come into play again in the closing laps and when the leader made contact with the rear bumper of Tanner Gebhardt entering turn three while coming to the white flag, it would send Gebhardt for a spin with the caution setting up a two lap shootout for the win. Tasker Phillips had just taken second away from Bunton before the caution so he would make a run at the leader in turn one on the restart only to see Nienhiser drive away for the win and to have Bunton slip by him on the outside to regain second at the checkers. Terry McCarl who had won each of the two previous appearances of the Sprint Invaders here at Independence made a nice run from eleventh to fourth while two-time series champion Cody Wehrle filled out the top five.

It was an emotional victory for Nienhiser who dedicated the win to his longtime friend and supporter of his racing career, Ralph Willhite, who lost his life in an accident at the Jacksonville Speedway in Illinois just a few weeks ago.

Next up for the Mohrfeld Solar Sprint Invaders will be another Tuesday night trip, this time to the Mountain Dew Bloomfield Speedway on July 30th that will serve as an appetizer for the Knoxville 360 Nationals that will start its three day run just two nights later.

Gravel comes on strong to get 2nd Brad Doty Classic win at Attica

Tuesday, July 16, 2024

By Brian Liskai

ATTICA, Ohio – David Gravel searched all over the one-third clay mile of Attica Raceway Park Tuesday, July 16 during the 36th running of the Ohio Logistics Brad Doty Classic presented by dac Pet Products. When he found his lane and his rhythm, he took the lead on lap 17 and drove away for the $15,000 pay day, his 10th World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink victory of 2024.

The win was the Watertown, Connecticut native’s second Brad Doty Classic win and third career win at Attica.

“I was just bidding my time. Carson (Macedo) was racing pretty defensive. I think he knew he was in trouble of getting passed. I was running a lot of different lines just trying to figure out what the best line was before I could get the lead. You’re just guessing out there…all these cautions…I don’t know how many cautions there were but there were way too many. It was hard to get into a rhythm and you had no one to base it off of with lapped traffic so it was really hard to know where to be in one and two. Every other lap I tried a different lane and the car started getting free and it just kept getting slicker and slicker every lap…40 laps here the track changes so much. Cody (Jacobs, crew chief) gave me a really good card…something I didn’t have to push too hard and I could run my own race. I’m happy to get a Brad Doty Classic for Cody because I stole one from him when I was in the CJB car and he working for Tim Shaffer. Steven and Zack worked real hard in the heat,” said Gravel beside his Huset’s Speedway/Billion Auto.com/Jackson Motorplex/High Performance Lubricants/JRC backed #2.

The early portions of the 40-lap feature saw several cautions. Carson Macedo led laps 1-7 before three time Doty Classic winner Kyle Larson took the lead on lap eight only to see Macedo regain the top spot a circuit later. Gravel, who started third, drove into the lead on lap 17.

Gravel built a nearly three second lead when the caution flew on lap 26. The race for second had been fantastic involving Macedo, Logan Schuchart and Larson.

Following a fuel stop, Gravel continued to lead while 11th starter Donny Schatz with a bent up front wing, charged into second while Larson, Macedo, Cory Day and Giovanni Scelzi battled hard for third. With five laps to go Gravel had caught the back of the pack and Schatz closed in but ran out of time as Gravel took the checkers. Schatz, Larson, Macedo and Day rounded out the top five.

Schatz, a 10 time World of Outlaws champion,

“I’m surprised we didn’t change the nose wing but that’s not my call. It really didn’t effect it like everyone thinks. We’re not on the gas that hard here and there are parts of the race track where it would help. Ultimately I think I would have liked to have had it there to see what would have happened but all and all a good effort. The guys got things rolling and working and this is the type of race tracks you have in the summer. Everyone is digging,” said Schatz beside his CarQuest/Ford Performance/Curb/Sage Fruit/Elliott’s Custom Trailers & Carts backed #15.

Larson had one bobble on a restart and he felt that may have cost him a shot at his fourth Brad Doty Classic win.

“I wish I could have that last restart back. I knew all I could do was blitz the top. Gravel was really good. I got my right rear hung off the ledge and fell back to fourth and battled Carson and Cory to get back to third. I was hoping for another caution to reset. My car felt pretty good early but got kind of off in the middle but got better later but messed up that restart,” said Larson of his Findley Farms/Folkens Bros. Trucking/FloRacing/JVI Group/Glenn Styres Racing backed #57.

Attica Raceway Park will be back in action Friday, July 26 with the All Pro Aluminum Cylinder Heads/Kistler Racing Products Attica Fremont Championship Series presented by the Baumann Auto Group, the NAPA of Bryan AFCS presented by Jason Dietsch Trailer Sales 305 sprints and the Attica/Oakshade UMP Late Model Challenge Series in action.

Tyler Thompson scores first career SCCT win on Monday in Cottage Grove

By Gary Thomas

Cottage Grove, Oregon…Tyler Thompson has been logging many valuable laps with the Main Motorsports team over recent weeks and on Monday night at Cottage Grove Speedway, the Oregon driver snagged his initial Sprint Car Challenge Tour triumph.

Thompson, driving the H.A.M. Construction No. 35KM mount battled early with Andy Forsberg, before cruising at the end to open SCCT Speedweek in victorious fashion.

“I’ve always wanted to win one of these NW Speedweek races and it feels great to finally get it done at Cottage Grove Speedway tonight,” Thompson said on the front stretch. “I have to think Adam Main and this entire 35KM team for giving me a great car as always. We have had a lot of speed, so it’s nice to pick up another win in front of the home crowd.”

The front row for the 35-lap Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour main event was comprised of High Sierra Dash winner Andy Forsberg and Thompson. At the waving of the green flag the duo fought for the top-spot in exciting fashion, as Forsberg ran high, and Thompson rode the low line.

Thompson eventually began to pull away, as the rest of the field battled for position on the quarter mile. With the Harrisburg, Oregon wheelman having his way up front, Forsberg drove a smooth race in second picking his way through lapped cars as well.

Some of the best action came between SCCT point leader Braden Chiaramonte of El Cajon, Placerville’s Shane Hopkins, Roseville’s Colby Copeland and Oakley’s Dylan Bloomfield. The four drivers raced high and low while exchanging positions towards the end.

Thompson held a steady lead as he crossed under the checkered flag ahead of Forsberg. Chiaramonte solidified third with just a few laps remaining and was the night’s Pit Stop USA Hard Charger after starting 11th. Hopkins and Copeland rounded out the top-five.

Completing the top-10 on Monday were Bloomfield, Oregon’s Bailey Hibbard, Langley, BC driver Levi Klatt, Hanford’s Ryan Rocha and Yuba City’s Seth Standley.

As noted, Forsberg captured the High Sierra Industries Dash. He also claimed the Tiner-Hirst Ent. opening heat race. Bailey Hibbard won BR Motorsports/ King Racing Products heat two, while Drake Standley won A.R.T. Speed Equipment heat three.

Colby Copeland began the evening by earning the Sierra Foothills Wine Services Fast Time Award with a lap of 11.637.

The Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour will continue Western Sprint Speedweek at Coos Bay Speedway in Oregon on Tuesday July 16th.

11th Annual “Race for Riley “ at Double X Speedway victories to Wilson, Campbell, Fisher and Schultz

Double X Speedway

California, MO

July 14, 2024

By: Dean Reichel

The 11th Annual “Race for Riley”, Riley Hudson Memorial Race was held on Sunday July 14th at Double X Speedway on the outskirts of California, MO after rain postponed the event for a week. Family, friends and racers alike gathered at the quarter mile dirt oval to honor a young race fan with a personality as big as the world. This year would have been Riley’s 21st birthday and her memory was honored with all classes running 21 laps in their feature events. To go along with the racing action the night is on the calendar of many young racing fans as Riley’s family and friends make the night all about the kids. Bike giveaways, special prizes for young fans in attendance along with a Frisbee toss and more are always on tap at this special event.

The B modifieds were few in number but were strong in quality. Terry Schultz took the lead on lap 4 and would hold off a strong running Adam Hall to claim the heat race win. Following the lead duo were Rylan Gibbs in third and Chad Staus in fourth. With three of the four drivers having won feature events previously at Double X odds were good it would be a repeat winner. At the end of the feature event it was veteran Terry Schultz standing in victory lane. Schultz was challenged the entire distance by Adam Hall who would claim the runner up spot. Chad Staus finished third and Rylan Gibbs would take fourth.

The Pure Stocks were the featured cars and drivers for the 11th edition of the “Race for Riley” and a good number signed in for the evening. The first heat race saw Ted Welschmeyer pick up the victory over Chris Messerli and Darin Porter. Heat two found Trevor Wilson picking up the win with Ryan Oerly and PJ Turpin crossing the strip in second & third. Trevor Wilson would claim the Dash for Cash in the division. In the special 21 lap feature Ted Welschemeyer moved out to the early and commanding lead until his transmission decided it no longer wanted to participate heading down the back stretch. On the restart Trevor Wilson would be the leader and he made the most of the opportunity running smooth consistent laps with Chris Messerli and Darin Porter providing the pressure. At the checkers the running order was the same, Wilson, Messerli and Porter the top three, Curt Turpin claimed fourth at the stripe with Jeff Turpin completing the top five.

In the Super Stock class the racing was fast and entertaining as usual. Eddie Keeran, running the only leaf spring chassis in the class, put his #87 Camaro to the point and led the distance in heat one besting Clayton Campbell and Dale Berry. Heat two saw the top two in points in the class finish first and second. Veteran Steve Beach picked up the win over Kansas traveler James Nighswonger. Smokin Joe Miller of Centertown finished third in heat #2. Nighswonger would redeem himself by winning the Dash for Cash in the division. The feature event saw long time competitors Eddie Keeran and Steve Beach leading the field to green. Beach would take the early lead on the high side but Clayton Campbell hugging the inside would take the lead on lap three. A lap six caution would bunch the field behind the leader. On the restart Nighswonger made a charge for the second position but slid up the track into Beach bringing out a caution as the #10 was forced to come to a halt to avoid hitting the outside wall. The #44 would restart at the tail. Green flag racing resumed with Campbell comfortably in control, Beach in second with Derek Wiss, Dean Willie and Dale Berry running in the top five. Campbell would survive the duration of the event even with another caution or two. At the finish it was Clayton Campbell in victory lane once again at Double X this season. Dean Willie drove a steady race to take second, James Nighswonger charged back to claim the third spot, Steve Beach would finish fourth and Dale Berry would complete the top five.

The Winged Sprint Cars had a fast track for their heat races. In heat race number one teenage Phenom Garrett Benson picked up a decisive victory over a strong running Josh Fisher in second and an equally strong Ben Brown in third. The second heat saw Miles Paulus and Tyler Blank on the front row after a caution on the initial start. Paulus would put the hammer down at the green and move to the point. Once Blank got his #75 lined out he began gaining on the leader but would settle for second at the checkered with Samuel Wagner finishing third. A couple of “young guns” led the Winged Sprint Car feature and it was Garrett Benson getting the hole shot followed by third starting Josh Fisher. A red on lap three for the tangle of Tucker Daly and Rob Rimel brought a stoppage to action as both cars required a hook to return to the pit area. On the restart Benson and Fisher took off with Paulus and Tyler Blank joining the mix. Benson and Paulus would run the bottom with Fisher and Blank charging around the top. Fisher would take over the top spot on lap seven holding Benson at bay. A caution on lap eight would bring the field to Fisher’s rear bumper with Benson, Blank, Paulus and Ben Brown holding the top five spots. The track surface would prove to be a challenge as a lap ten caution flew for Samuel Wagner spinning in turn four. On the ensuing restart Fisher would again command the high line with Tyler Bank using the same line to move into second on lap 14. Blank began closing on the leader as Ben Brown moved into third on lap 15 using the top shelf as well. By lap 18 Blank had reeled in the leader and was beginning to plan a pass when the caution flew one more time for Aubrey Smith in turn 3. A three lap dash to the finish awaited the field. Fisher remained glued to the cushion as Ben Brown tried a low side pass for second but Blank was able to use the high line to hold off the challenge. At the checkers it was Fisher, Blank, Brown, Benson and Casey Shuman completing the top 5.

Next Sunday night is the “Racing Back to School” backpack and school supply giveaway night. Thanks to Tyler Utz Family Racing and friends for this annual event. The Clenin Farm Supply 305 Sprint Cars will be on the card along with the Super Stocks and 360 Winged Sprint Cars.

Duke right at home with Selinsgrove win
07-14-2024

Ken Duke Jr. has been the model of consistency so far in the 2024 River Valley Builders PA Sprint Series, building a healthy early lead in championship points by finishing in the top ten in all but one of the year’s first ten events.

Saturday night at his home track of Selinsgrove Speedway, he tweaked that characterization a bit and was consistently unbeatable, becoming the year’s first three-time winner overall and the first repeat winner at Selinsgrove with a flag-to-flag victory in the 20-lap feature for the IMCA/RaceSaver sprinters.

It also was his 25th career PASS victory, extending his lead as the winningest active driver in the series.

A fortunate redraw for feature starting position put Duke on the outside front row for the race, and he outran rookie Kolby Weaver of Everett in turns one and two of the opening lap to take the lead he’d never give up. However, it took some charging from the rear to reach that point: Duke’s draw for heat race starting position put him on the outside of the fourth row for his preliminary, and he had to pass five drivers to claim a third-place finish, which put him in the redraw.

That showed the Fairfield Chevrolet/River Valley Builders/Susquehanna Valley Auto Glass #67 would be in the hunt for the night.

Getting to the lead wasn’t the end of his work, either. Defending PASS Champion Logan Spahr of Lewisberry quickly moved into the runner-up spot early in the feature, and Austin Reed of Etters came from eighth starting spot to third in just five laps to show he was capable of a challenge.

Duke, however, was not to be denied. Entering traffic on lap eight didn’t seriously reduce his lead, and when the race’s only caution – for a car stopped on the backstretch – gave his challengers a shot on the lap 13 restart, he quickly pulled away.

At the end, it was Duke, Spahr, Reed, Kruz Kepner of nearby Kreamer, and Doug Dodson of Middletown.Kepner came from eighth starting position and Dodson from 10th in a race that had plenty of passing.

Mike Melair, Kasey Weaver, Zach Rhodes, Drew Young, and Braeden Varner completed the top ten.

Rhodes’ charge from 22nd starting position, after finishing second in the B-Main, earned him the W.C. Eshenaur & Son Hard Charger Award. That completed a weekend that also saw him win the Nitany 40 Laurel Highlands Sprint Series RaceSaver event Friday night at Clinton County Speedway.

Heat races for the 34-car field were won by Dodson, Reed, Kepner, and Tim Iulg of Bridgeton, N.J. Josh Spicer of Julian claimed the 14-car B-Main.

Mia Koponen of Ludlow, Vt., was the VP Racing Fuels “Race-Ready Award” winner after being saddled with he worst draw for heat race starting position.

The night’s racing was nearly incident-free for the PASS teams. All four heats and the B-Main ran off non-stop, with Eric Mathiot of Elizabethtown the only driver not finishing a heat. His problems continued in the B-Main, where Danny Buccafusca or Rockaway, N.J., also failed to finish. The feature’s only caution was for a car stopped on the track.

This weekend will be special for the River Valley Builders PASS competitors. On Friday, they take part in Dr. Crouse’s Night of Power at Path Valley Speedway, where ULMS late models headline a program that also includes modifieds.

Then, at Port Royal Speedway on Saturday, the 2024 Keystone RaceSaver Challenger has been rescheduled after being rained out last month. This is the biggest event of the season for the PASS tour. 410 sprints and wingless super sportsman cars also will be featured.

Bogucki, Bosma and Hanisch Join Winner's List at Huset's Speedway During Huset's Hall of Fame Night

Inside Line Promotions - BRANDON, S.D. (July 14, 2024) - Scott Bogucki, Brandon Bosma and Craig Hanisch each earned their first feature triumph of the season at Huset's Speedway on Sunday during the Huset's Hall of Fame Night.

Bogucki swept the Cressman Sanitation 410 Outlaw Sprint Cars program as he set quick time during qualifying, won a heat race and captured the main event for his first career victory at the track.

"I can't thank my guys enough," he said. "We did a great job and I'm proud for this team. Consistency was key tonight."

The main event, which went 26 laps because of a caution on the final scheduled lap, was wild as it showcased three official leaders, three red flags and five additional cautions as the race lasted nearly an hour before the checkered flag was waved.

Christopher Thram led the first six laps before Bogucki passed him on the bottom in turn four on Lap 7. Thram got upside down entering turn one on the ensuing lap. Red flags on Lap 15 and Lap 17 were followed by cautions on Lap 19, Lap 21, Lap 25 and twice during a green-white-checkered restart.

Bogucki's car stumbled on one of the final restarts, which bunched up several drivers behind him with third-running Dusty Zomer, who led Lap 15, and fourth-running Mark Dobmeier crashing. Points leader Kaleb Johnson was also caught up in the incident, but kept his car going. A fuel stop ensued and Bogucki pulled away riding the top groove the final two laps for the win.

"I was running out for four or five laps," he said after becoming the eighth different division winner in eight races this year. "I was trying to keep the car straight. It started stumbling. It played out how it played out. I'm proud to get the win."

Ryan Timms posted a runner-up result.

"Scott, he was extremely fast," he said. "I couldn't run my car any harder. I couldn't keep up with him on the starts. Once I got going I could kind of start reeling him in again. I'll take a second and we'll go onto the next one."

Johnson extended his lead in the championship standings with a third-place run following the near crash late in the race.

"I feel like there in the feature we had a fifth-place car, but somehow made it through the mess in turn four," he said. "I thought I was going to be stalled, but the next thing I knew I hit the gas and kept going. We'll keep trying our best and hopefully one of these days knock on the door of a win."

Scott Winters charged from 15 th to fourth and Brendan Mullen recorded a fifth-place finish.

Jacob Hughes and Timms were the other heat race winners besides Bogucki.

Seventh-starting Bosma led the final seven laps to win the Wyffels Hybrids RaceSaver Sprint Car Series A Main, which featured three different leaders during the 20-lap race.

Gaige Weldon paced the field for the first five laps before Dusty Ballenger took over the top spot on Lap 6. The first of two cautions occurred on Lap 13 with Bosma executing a slide job in turn three on Lap 14 to grab the lead - a race-winning move that made him the eighth different feature winner in as many races this season.

"It was better to be running second," he said. "I found the rubber in (turns) three and four and it kept moving down. Dusty slipped up there and it gave me enough room to clear him. We just got lucky to get around him right there."

Ballenger was the runner up with Trefer Waller placing third. Tyler Rabenberg ended fourth and Shayle Bade was fifth.

Weldon, Cole Vanderheiden and Rabenberg were the heat race winners.

Hanisch led all but the opening lap to score his 33 rd career triumph at Huset's Speedway during the Nordstrom's Automotive Late Model Street Stocks feature. It marked his first win at the track since July 2016.

"It feels good," he said. "All we have is motor problems and I think we lost another one tonight, but I wasn't shutting her down until I seen the checkered flag."

Billy Prouty powered to the top spot on the opening lap before Hanisch used the bottom groove to his advantage on the second circuit. While Hanisch maintained a comfortable lead, Prouty ran second for most of the race before Dan Jensen and points leader J.J. Zebell both passed him on Lap 16.

Jensen ended second with 10th-starting Zebell placing third. Zach Olivier was fourth and Prouty rounded out the top five.

The heat races were won by Hanisch and Prouty.

Huset's Speedway showcases four straight nights of racing this week during the 14 th annual Silver Dollar Nationals presented by MyRacePass.

Schneider Penn Ohio Star At Tri City Raceway Park; Smith, Krummert, and Mollick Also Win

(Franklin, PA July 14, 2024): The spotlight was on the Pro Stock Division at Tri City Raceway Park, as the Penn Ohio Pro Stock Series was in to challenge the track’s Hovis Auto & Truck Supply regulars. Taking the win was Chris Schneider. The $1,000 he earned will certainly help him repair the battle damage that his mount sustained during the course of the feature event.

Also getting wins were Mark Smith (Krill Recycling 410 Sprints), Garrett Krummert (21st Century Energy Group 358 Modifieds), and John Mollick (4 Your Car Connection RUSH Sprints).

Bobby Whitling returned to action this week and he started from the pole position. Next to him was Jackson Humanic. Chris Schneider and Josh Seippel were in row two, with Randy Wyant and Curtis J. Bish in row three. Behind them were Rod Laskey, last week’s winner, and Brandon Connor. Tim Bish and Jason Fosnaught were in row five. Departing from row six were Brent McDonald and Matt Bernard.

The race amounted to two distinct halves. Bobby Whitling dominated the first half, leading all ten laps, with Chris Schneider nipping at his heels. Curtis J. Bish ran in third until Randy Wyant slipped by on the inside to take third just before the midpoint in the race.

It looked as though the complexion of the race was going to change just after the leaders took the crossed flags. Tim Bish and Chris Schneider got together, and Schneider did a remarkable job to save the car from spinning. He did lose several positions. However, the debris left from Schneider’s battered car caused a yellow, so Schneider got his position back for the restart.

On the restart, Schneider dropped to the inside and he powered past Whitling. Now, the roles were reversed, and Whitling was chasing Schneider for the remainder of the race.

Although Whitling got close on a couple of occasions, Schneider had power in reserve and he was always able to pull away from any of Whitling's challenges.

Tim Bish was third, followed by Curtis J. Bish and Jackson Humanic. Curtis Bish and Humanic staged a close battle through the last seven laps or so. Jason Fosnaught, Rod Laskey, Josh Seippel, Brandon Connor, and Brett McDonald completed the top ten.

The trio of heat winners were Whitling, Seippel, and Curtis J. Bish. There was no B Main.

Mark Smith celebrated his fifty-third birthday by completing a weekend hat trick in Western Pennsylvania. After wins at two other area speedways on Friday and Saturday, Smith raced to victory in the non-stop twenty-five lapper for the Krill Recycling 410 Sprint Cars.

Jack Sodeman, Jr. and Adam Kekich were on the front row, with Bob Felmlee and Smith in row two. The third row was made up of Jeremy Weaver and A.J. Flick. The fourth row had Carl Bowser and Michael Bauer. In row five were Andy Cavanaugh and Dusty Larson. Taking the sixth row were Bodey McClintock and Chase Metheney.

Sodeman raced out to an early lead, with Kekich, Flick, Felmlee, and Weaver following. Sodeman retained the lead as he started to pick off some lapped cars. Smith took several runs at his, but Sodeman always seemed to time perfectly his approach on the slower traffic.

However, when he reached some open space on the race track, Smith was able to capitalize when he launched off turn two. He sailed into the lead by making a slider work in turn three with twelve laps complete.

Smith led Sodeman the rest of the way. However, the fight was on for the remaining positions in the top five. Flick made his move into fourth by lap twenty and in the five remaining laps, he worked up to second. He was aided somewhat by Sodeman’s malfunction with the nose wing.

Sodeman held on for third, with Weaver getting fourth and Kekich fifth. Bowser, Bauer, Felmlee, Larson, and Cavanaugh completed the top ten.

There were two heat races for the Krill Recycling Sprinters. The winners were Sodeman and FLick. There was no B Main.

The 21st Century Energy Group 358 Modifieds went non-stop as well. Taking the win was a super-sub, Garrett Krummert, who was at the controls of Steve Slater’s machine.

Jimmy Holden and Hayden Holden occupied the front row. Chad Reitz and Krummert made up the second row. In the third row were Ryan Riffe and Chip Ritchey. The fourth belonged to Frank Guidace and Mark Sevin. The fifth had Bill Milbert and Thomas Rodgers.

Hayden Holden swooped out to the early lead, with Krummert, Reitz, and Guidace in the top five. Krummert dialed up the power coming off turn two and he grabbed the lead heading toward turn three on lap three.

Krummert stretched out his advantage as the laps clicked off. Reitz wrestled second away from Hayden Holden early in the second half of the contest. Jimmy closed in on his son in the final five laps, but did not make a pass. Riffe was fifth. Ritchey, Guidace, Sevin, Milbert, and Rodgers completed the top ten.

Krummert was also the heat race winner. for the 21st Century Energy Group 358 Modifieds. There was no B Main.

The final feature of the night was for the 4 Your Car Connection RUSH Sprint Cars. That race also went non-stop. John Mollick climbed from sixth on the grid to the lead just before the midpoint in the race and he led the rest of the way.

Arnie Kent and Blaze Myers led the way to the final green flag of the night. Brent Rhebergen and Joe Buccola were in row two. They were followed by Devon Deeter and Mollick. Ricky Tucker, III and Luke Mullichak were in the fourth row. Zack Wilson and Tyler Clark were in row five.

Myers led the early going, but Mollick was on the move. After Mollick took control, he completed the remaining laps without incident.

Myers followed him across the scoring loop. Kent, Buccola, and Rhebergen. Mullichak, Deeter, Tucker, Charles McClintock, and Wilson completed the top ten.

The heat winners were Mollick and Myers. There was no B Main for the 4 Your Car Connection RUSH Sprint Cars.

In the Marsh Heating & Cooling Heat Race Challenge, Tim Bish and John Mollick are tied for the lead with four wins apiece. Three racers are tied for second with three heat wins.

Next week, Tri City Raceway Park will present a Sunday Thunder program, consisting of the Krill Recycling 410 Sprint Cars, the 21st Century Energy Group 358 Modifieds, the Hovis Auto & Truck Supply Pro Stocks, and the 4 Your Car Connection RUSH Sprint Cars.

BRYANT BELL COMPLETES SWEEP OF WESTERN MIDGET RACING AT KAEDING CLASSIC WITH $1200 SATURDAY WIN

WATSONVILLE, CALIFORNIA (July 14, 2024) – Bryant Bell of Oakley, Calif. completed the Western Midget Racing weekend sweep on Saturday night at the 14th annual Howard Kaeding Classic, claiming the $1200 to win, 25-lap feature at Watsonville’s Ocean Speedway. The sweep of the weekend’s features extends Bell’s championship lead in WMR. It also gives him the lead in the WMR Triple Crown series as well.

Bell won the pole position after winning the fast heat race against the six locked in cars from Friday night. Santa Cruz’ Logan Mitchell won the second heat race to earn the seventh starting position. Payette, Idaho’s Teddy Bivert drove around the outside of Bell at the green flag to lead lap one. Bell then challenged Bivert on the inside to retake the lead on lap seven.

Delano’s Terry Nichols used a strong charge on the outside line to close in on Bivert for second as the field navigated traffic by lap 12.

A red flag flew for a serious crash in turn one when Mitchell and Sacramento’s Isaiah Vasquez tangled. Vasquez flipped side over side off the edge of the speedway and Mitchell tipped over as well. Vasquez was transported for further evaluation after initially walking away.

Nichols completed the pass for second place on the restart then turned his attention to Bell. The pair went side-by-side for the lead on lap 20 and remained in lockstep. Nichols and Bell then collided in turn two, sending Nichols into a wild tumble to end his event on lap 23. He was able to walk away.

Bell fended off a side-by-side challenge from his Boscacci Racing teammate Anthony Bruno of San Jose to claim the big win. The victory marks Bell’s fourth in the last five races for WMR. Bivert finished third followed by Roseville’s Jerry Kobza and Todd Hawse of Moorpark.

JUSTIN SANDERS EARNS SECOND CAREER HOWARD KAEDING CLASSIC TRIUMPH

WATSONVILLE, CALIFORNIA (July 13, 2024) – Justin Sanders of Aromas won his 20th career Northern Auto Racing Club 410 Sprint Car Series win and his second Howard Kaeding Classic, claiming Saturday night’s 30-lap feature at Ocean Speedway in Watsonville. The victory in the 14th edition of the HK Classic paid $6900 to win.

“Our car was pretty close. We were really good there in the midpoint of the race. (Our season) could turn around in an instant but we’ll go and enjoy this win,” Sanders said. “It was hard to know what to do on the restarts. It was hard with the top is that far around but also the bottom is so dirty.”

Templeton’s Kaleb Montgomery and San Jose’s Bud Kaeding split Automotive Racing Products qualifying honors on a split field against the 30 entrants on hand. Lemoore’s Cole Macedo then topped Sanders in the Beacon Wealth Strategies Dash to score the pole position for the coveted feature. Macedo and Sanders entered the evening tied in the NARC championship standings and entertained the full house at the Santa Cruz County Fairgrounds dirt track in a thrilling feature event.

Macedo charged past Sanders to the lead in turn one over the 24-car field, but the move was nullified when Clovis’ Dominic Gorden spun on the backstretch. Macedo led the way on the following restart as well despite Sanders attempt to turn underneath him on the backstretch.

Sanders then pulled off a slide job in turn one to move past Macedo to lead lap two. Sanders led Macedo into traffic by just the sixth lap. Macedo took advantage of traffic, showing his nose on both laps 10 and 12.

Jeremy Chisum of Salinas spun in turn two for a caution on lap 12. Macedo dove inside of Sanders in turn three on the restart, driving alongside Sanders to be credited with the lead on lap 13. Macedo’s lead lasted a few hundred feet before Sanders soared underneath him to retake it in turn one. Sanders officially had control of the event on lap 14. 2021 HK Classic winner Sean Becker of Roseville emerged in third on the restart as well.

Sanders paced Macedo by a few car lengths in traffic before the final caution of the night when Gauge Garcia of Lemoore faltered with a mechanical issue in turn one. Sanders led the final seven circuits for victory over Macedo, Becker, Bud Kaeding, and Tim Kaeding.

Bryant Bell of Oakley, Calif. completed the Western Midget Racing weekend sweep by claiming the $1200 to win, 25-lap feature. The win also kicked off the Triple Crown Series for the WMR division.

Bell won the pole position after winning the fast heat race against the six locked in cars from Friday night. Santa Cruz’ Logan Mitchell won the other heat race. Payette, Idaho’s Teddy Bivert drove around the outside of Bell to lead lap one. Bell then challenged Bivert on the inside to retake the lead on lap seven.

Delano’s Terry Nichols used the outside to close in on Bivert for second as the field navigated traffic on lap 12. A red flag flew for a serious crash in turn one when Mitchell and Sacramento’s Isaiah Vasquez tangled. Vasquez flipped side over side off the edge of the speedway and Mitchell tipped over as well. Vasquez was transported for further evaluation after initially walking away.
Nichols completed the pass for second place on the restart then turned his attention to Bell. The pair went side-by-side for the lead on lap 20 and remained in lockstep. Nichols and Bell then collided in turn two, sending Nichols into a wild tumble to end his event on lap 23. He was able to walk away.

Bell fended off a side-by-side challenge from his Boscacci Racing teammate Anthony Bruno of San Jose to claim the big win. Bivert finished third followed by Roseville’s Jerry Kobza and Todd Hawse of Moorpark.

Oakley’s Jacob Mallet, Jr. won the IMCA Modified 25-lap feature. Todd Hermosillo of Watsonville led the first three laps before Mallet took over. Jim Pettit II of Prunedale followed him into second position as well.

Austin Burke and 2023 Pettit Shootout winner Troy Foulger of Oakley collided in a bid for fifth, sparking a multi-car crash involving Ryan Porter of Atwater and Markus Frazier of Santa Maria for a caution flag on lap eight. On the restart, Andrew Peckham of Grass Valley took an off-road path through the apron in turn two then had no steering in turn three to draw a caution. Cautions continued to plague the event on the next attempt when Hermosillo and Foulger tangled hard on the backstretch.

Mallet paced a fast-paced final 17 circuits to win comfortably over Pettit, Porter, Fred Lind of Prunedale, and Frazier.

2023 Hobby Stock champion Joe Gallaher returned from a spin on Friday night to win on Saturday night in a 20-lap feature. Watsonville’s Adriane Frost led the first seven laps until the fourth starting Gallaher took control of the race.

Friday winner DJ Keldsen of Newman, Matt Kile of San Jose, and Rob Gallaher of San Jose rounded out the top-five finishers.

Ocean Speedway races again on Friday night July 19 with the IMCA Sport Modifieds, South Bay Dwarf Cars, Four Bangers, and Police-in-Pursuit competing. For more information, visit www.OceanSpeedway.com

Tony Gomes, Jacob Tuttle, Nick Baldwin and Mike Miller win on Kings Meats Night

By Gary Thomas

Placerville, CA…Modesto’s Tony Gomes took the lead on lap two and held off a hard charging Andy Forsberg to claim his fifth career Placerville Speedway Winged Sprint Car victory on Saturday.

Fellow winners on Kings Meats Burger Night included Jacob Tuttle with the Joe Hunt Magnetos Wingless Tour, Nick Baldwin with the Red Hawk Casino Pure Stocks and Mike Miller with the Mountain Democrat Mini Trucks. All four winners went home with a lucrative and loaded meat box thanks to presenting sponsor Kings Meats.

At the waving of the green flag in the Thompson’s Family of Dealerships Winged 360 Sprint Car finale it was a battle between Shane Hopkins and Tony Gomes up front. Hopkins led the initial lap, before Gomes took over as they completed lap two.

The first 13 circuits clicked off caution free in fast and furious fashion, prior to a yellow for Chris Masters. On the restart nine-time track champion Andy Forsberg carved his way into the runner up spot and gave chase after the leader. On the initial green flag run Gomes worked lapped traffic to perfection and did so once again during the final half.

A couple of close moments in traffic caused Gomes to have catlike reflexes, however. As the race wound down Forsberg cut into the lead and when the white flag waved, he was right there on the tail tank of the C&M Motorsports No. 7c. A hair raising moment then occurred for the leaders heading down the backstretch, as a lapped car shot across the groove directly in front of the top duo.

Somehow, both Gomes and Forsberg were able to sneak by without worry, much to the amazement of the crowd on hand. Gomes crossed under the Ron Stahl checkered flag for his first win of the season over Forsberg, Hopkins, Chance Grasty and hard charger Jimmy Trulli.

Rounding out the top-10 were Corbin Rueschenberg, Austin Wood, Bubba Decaires, Braden Chiaramonte and Stephen Ingraham. Andy Forsberg now finds himself up front in the standings by one slip point over Shane Hopkins and just five markers ahead of Bubba Decaires.

The Joe Hunt Magnetos Wingless Sprint Cars made their initial appearance of the season on the red clay Saturday. In the end it was Oakley’s Jacob Tuttle who brought home the victory after leading all 20-laps in the feature.

The main event was plagued with several slow downs that didn’t allow drivers to get into much of a constant flow. High Sierra Wingless winner last month Josh Young tried to keep pace with the leader and brought home a second-place finish, ahead of DJ Johnson, Shawn Arriaga and Evan Gularte in the top-five.

Completing the top-10 were Trey Walters, Bob Newberry, Mark Hanson, Cody Meyer and Tyler Cato. Another healthy field of 29 Wingless Sprint Cars competed with the Hunt Tour on Saturday.

The Red Hawk Casino Pure Stocks put on one of the best races of the evening in their 20-lap finale. Several cars battled up front during the contest and kept fans on the edge of their seats for much of it. Tyler Lightfoot jumped out front and set the pace but had numerous drivers breathing down his neck.

Five-time Placerville Speedway champion and current point leader Nick Baldwin then charged his way into the lead on lap 14 and never looked back. The Oakley driver crossed the stripe for his 29th career triumph at the track. Lightfoot scored another consistent finish in second, with Kevin Jinkerson, Tommy Sturgeon and Arnita Bradshaw completing the top-five.

The 20-lap Mountain Democrat Mini Truck main event featured three different leaders, all with the last name Miller. The opening lap was led by Paige Miller, before Paizlee Miller was able to slip by for the top-spot on lap two.

Paizlee looked to have the speed up front to bring home the win however, had an issue during a lap 13 restart, which saw Mike Miller shoot from third to first. At the checkered it was Mike Miller followed by Luke Costa, Paige Miller, Paizlee Miller and Tyler Goggin.

Placerville Speedway returns to action this coming Saturday July 20th with the Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour and Dwarf Cars. The evening of racing will finish off SCCT Western Sprint Speedweek, which begins Monday in Cottage Grove, Oregon.

BRYANT BELL RETAKES WMR POINTS LEAD WITH FRIDAY NIGHT KAEDING CLASSIC WIN

WATSONVILLE, CALIFORNIA (July 13, 2024) – 2023 Western Midget Racing champion Bryant Bell of Oakley took over the points lead for the 2024 series with a big win, taking Friday’s 20-lap opener for the WMR Triple Crown and the Howard Kaeding Classic. The victory paid $500 with a $1200 to win feature looming on Saturday night.

Incoming points leader Logan Mitchell of Santa Cruz and Bell shared the front row for the feature. Bell got a launch on the outside line and drove to the inside in turn one. The pair collided, relegating Mitchell to restarting at the rear of the field for a restart. On the restart, Mitchell spun for his second caution to end his night. The points swing takes Mitchell from an eight point lead to an 18 point deficit.

Bell faced a challenge from Payette, Idaho’s Teddy Bivert on the restart but Bell was able to fend him off. The red flag flew on lap seven when Lodi’s Nate Wait flipped on the backstretch while battling Roseville’s Jerry Kobza for fifth. He was uninjured.

Bell led the final 13 laps of competition for his fifth career Ocean WMR win followed by Bivert, Terry Nichols of Delano, Kobza, and San Jose’s Anthony Bruno. They join sixth place finisher Todd Hawse of Moorpark for Saturday’s fast heat race while the rest of the field will race for starting positions seventh on back in the second heat race. Bell spun a zero inversion for the fast heat race in victory lane as well.

Kalib Henry earns 2nd 410 Fremont win; Stroup gets 2nd straight 305 victory

Saturday, July 13, 2024

By Brian Liskai

FREMONT, Ohio – There’s just something about Fremont Speedway presented by Gill Construction that brings out the best in sprint car drivers from California. A few years ago California driver Buddy Kofoid claimed the track championship and recently brothers Cole and Caron Macedo scored victories at “The Track That Action Built.” That California connection continued Saturday, July 13 on Crown Battery Night as Kalib Henry from Sacramento, California scored his second 410 sprint win of the season at Fremont.

DJ Foos led the first six laps of the 30 lap Fort Ball Pizza Palace 410 Sprint A-main until defending track champion Cap Henry drove into the top spot. Meanwhile sixth start Kalib Henry took second on lap eight and started to reel in Cap Henry, driving into the lead on lap 13 just as the caution flew. On the restart Cap Henry regained the top spot but at the half-way point Kalib Henry retook the lead. Cap Henry stayed right on Kalib Henry’s rear bumper until suffering mechanical issues with five laps to go. Trey Jacobs, who ran in the top five the entire race, closed in the final few laps but Henry powered to the win. Jacobs, Zeth Sabo, TJ Michael and Cale Thomas rounded out the top five.

Kalib Henry’s win pads his division point lead at Fremont while Thomas’ 10th consecutive top 10 finish increases his lead in the All Pro Aluminum Cylinder Heads/Kistler Racing Products Attica Fremont Championship Series presented by the Baumann Auto Group standings.

“Really can’t thank the Muth family enough for giving me this awesome opportunity. Kevin busts his ass and we got Connor here this week giving us a hand and taking a little bit of a load of me tonight. I kind of had a feeling tonight we were going to be good from the git…I guess when you have that feeling good things come true,” said Henry beside his Running Boxer Farms, Harris Distributing Company, Valvoline, K1, Berryman Racing Shocks, Chalkstix backed #101.

Kasey Ziebold led the first 11 laps of the 25-lap Fremont Federal Credit Union 305 Sprint A-main before third starter Dustin Stroup drove to the point. Following a caution on lap 14, six starter Jamie Miller moved into second and the battle for the lead was on. Stroup and Miller ran side by side lap after lap until a caution with four laps remaining. When the green flew that battle between Stroup and Miller continued right to the very end. Stroup earned his second straight win, the 11th of his career at the track, with Miller, Ziebold, Brenden Torok and Chad Wilson rounding out the top five.

Stroup gained a few points on Miller in the battle for the title of the NAPA of Bryan AFCS presented by Jason Dietsch Trailer Sales.

“I don’t like to win like that….that was too close for me. I could hear him (Miller) ripping it on the top. Me and Jamie are good buddies…that was a good hard race. I felt real good off the bottom but the crew guys were telling me to go to the top but I didn’t want to go there. I took the lead where we were running the car just felt good. I have to thank Jamie and Renee for letting me drive this car, my mom and dad, my girlfriend Katie and my daughter, Tracey and all the sponsors,” said Stroup beside his Sulfur Town Pub, BSE Welding, Meru Safety, Velocity Print, The Pizza House, Sunrise Designs, Momma Dukes from Shelluke’s Bar and Grill, GCE LLC, Handy Grafix, Mitten Painting, Myers Racing Engines, Rohr Total Lawn Care, Eye Candy Custom Cycles, DJ Johnson & Family, GWH, Advance Auto Parts, BRS, J&J Auto backed #12x.

After Jamie Miller lead the opening lap of the 20-lap Burmeister Trophy Dirt Truck A0main, fifth starter Shawn Valenti took the lead but Miller and he raced side by side over the next five laps. Following a spat of cautions, Valenti pulled away slightly from Miller and drove to his fourth consecutive feature win. Miller earned his fourth second place finish of the year with Keith Sorg, Kent Brewer and Andy Keegan rounding out the top five. Valenti, a four time truck track champion, now has 78 career wins at Fremont, putting him just two behind all-time feature winner Paul Weaver.

“I could get used to this winning stuff again. I kind of stuck on the top there too long last week and learned my lesson. Awesome truck once again from my guys, Nick, Noah, Jeff Babcock, Squirrel…it’s pretty amazing,” said Valenti beside his Craig Miller Trucking, Conrad Transportation, Dave Story Equipment, A Plus Auto Center, Concrete Material Supply, S&S Hauling and Excavating #7B.

COLE MACEDO GRABS OPENING NIGHT OF 14TH ANNUAL HOWARD KAEDING CLASSIC IN WATSONVILLE

WATSONVILLE, CALIFORNIA (July 12, 2024) – Lemoore’s Cole Macedo returned to Ocean Speedway and returned to victory lane, claiming the 30-lap feature for the Ocean Sprints presented by Taco Bravo on Friday night. Macedo’s win opens the 14th Annual Howard Kaeding Classic at the Watsonville, Calif. dirt track featuring Saturday’s NARC 410 Sprint Car Series feature. Macedo currently is tied for the championship lead with Aromas’ Justin Sanders heading into the $6900 to win contest.

“Drew Warner and the guys had my car really dialed there,” Macedo said. “I love coming to Watsonville. My last time I was here was early last year and we ended up getting a win. Coming here the night before (the NARC race) is key and getting a good base package. It was in our best interest to come here and try some off the wall stuff we wouldn’t normally try.”

Macedo topped time trials at the Santa Cruz County Fairgrounds but it was Dominic Gorden of Clovis who won the dash to start on the pole for the nightcap feature.

Gorden led Macedo into lapped traffic by lap six. 2023 series champion Kurt Nelson of Gilroy then slid over the edge in turn two and into the wall for a caution on lap ten.

On the restart, Macedo executed a slidejob underneath Gorden into turn one that stuck. He officially had the lead on lap 11. Macedo earned a quick and comfortable advantage over Gorden, but it tightened in lapped traffic just past halfway. Brief cautions on lap 19 for DJ Netto spinning and on lap 23 for Bradley Dilland getting sideways in turn four did not deter Macedo. Macedo topped Gorden at the checkered flag for the Ocean Sprints victory. Bud Kaeding won a thrilling heat race earlier in the night, then finished off a successful evening by finishing in third. Gauge Garcia of Lemoore and Templeton’s Kaleb Montgomery rounded out the top-five.

2023 Western Midget Racing champion Bryant Bell of Oakley took over the points lead for the 2024 series with a big win, taking Friday’s 20-lap feature worth $500 to win.

Incoming points leader Logan Mitchell of Santa Cruz and Bell shared the front row for the feature. Bell got a launch on the outside line and drove to the inside in turn one. The pair collided, relegating Mitchell to restarting at the rear of the field for a restart. On the restart, Mitchell spun for his second caution to end his night early. The points swing takes Mitchell from an eight-point lead to an 18 point deficit.

Matthew Frazier of Santa Maria won the IMCA Sport Modified 20-lap contest over a 16-car field. Jeff Mead of Watsonville led the opening lap after starting third. Frazier started seventh and used a restart on lap two to advance to second. A caution on lap four allowed Frazier to challenge Mead for the lead. Frazier jumped inside to lead lap five.

Points leader Emali VanHoff of Chowchilla and Mead battled for second place through a series of cautions in a challenging race. Frazier got away cleanly on a green-white-checkered finish attempt which was nullified by a mechanical failure for Prunedale’s Max Baggett. Frazier earned the yellow checkered victory over Mead, VanHoff, multi-time Hobby Stock track champion Rob Gallaher of San Jose, and Tyler Tucker of Delhi.

DJ Keldsen of Newman won his first Hobby Stock main event of the season after 20 laps of racing. 2023 champion Joe Gallaher paced the action from the pole position. Keldsen challenged Gallaher with the pair making contact in turn four. Gallaher then spun in turn one, handing the lead to Keldsen on lap seven.

Keldsen never relinquished the top spot followed by Adriane Frost of Watsonville, Matt Kile of San Jose, Sam Kennedy of Watsonville, and Joe Gallaher.

The 14th annual Howard Kaeding Classic continues Saturday night from the Santa Cruz County Fairgrounds. NARC 410 Sprint Cars will race for $6900 to win along with $1200 to win WMR Midgets, IMCA Modifieds, and Hobby Stocks.

Bogucki and Rosenboom Triumphant at Jackson Motorplex During Joel Pingeon Trucking 410 Shootout Presented by C & B Operations

Inside Line Promotions - JACKSON, Minn. (July 12, 2024) - Scott Bogucki and Jody Rosenboom delivered winning performances on Friday evening at Jackson Motorplex, which hosted the Joel Pingeon Trucking 410 Shootout presented by C & B Operations during its first race of the season.

Bogucki was strong throughout the 25-lap Midwest Sprint Touring Series 410 Sprint Cars main event as he powered into the runner-up position on the second lap before using a slide job in turn three to take the lead on Lap 6.

A close call occurred on Lap 10 when Bogucki got into the back of a car he was attempting to lap. The contact knocked Bogucki sideways into turn one, but he was able to save it and maintain the lead. Bogucki then built a nearly five-second advantage before the only caution came out on Lap 23. That didn't matter to Bogucki, who pounded the cushion the final three laps to pull away for his first career victory at the track.

"We just waited for the track to clean off a bit and got the miles per hour going," he said before describing the close incident. "They slowed up and I should have anticipated it. We're just lucky we saved it."

Kaleb Johnson advanced from sixth to earn a second-place result.

"I just got a really good start there and used the bottom until it wasn't there," he said. "I didn't have much for Scott. Congrats to him and his team. I thought I could stay close at the end, but he kinda drove away. I grew up racing here and in front of my family so I'm glad we were able to get a good run."

Matt Juhl, who led the first five laps, placed third.

"It's too bad not to capitalize on something like that," he said. "Running top three is good, but not where we wanted to be. This will be a good start to hopefully better finishes."

Tanner Holmes scored a fourth-place finish and Christopher Thram used a last-lap pass to garner a fifth-place result.

Thram, Scott Broty and Estenson each won a heat race. Skylar Prochaska was the dash winner.

Rosenboom led the final eight laps of the 20-lap Wyffels Hybrids RaceSaver Sprint Cars presented by Heser Auto & Detailing A Main.

Monty Ferriera held the top spot for the first dozen laps. He entered traffic on Lap 12, which allowed Rosenboom and third-running Chris Graf to quickly erase more than a two-second deficit. The top three were bunched up going by the flag stand on Lap 13. Rosenboom dove low and powered into the lead in turn two as he executed the race-winning move.

"Monty is a good racer," he said. "In clean air he was really, really good. We needed something if I was going to get to him.

"With these things it's like restrictor plate racing. You have to keep your foot in it, use your brake a lot, keep it straight. I can't thank everybody enough who helps get this car here."

Graf made the same move on Ferriera for second place on the ensuing lap and chased Rosenboom through traffic for several laps. The lone caution of the race occurred on Lap 18 when John Lambertz slowed while running sixth. Rosenboom was strong on the restart en route to the triumph.

Graf placed second with Ferriera rounding out the podium. Brandon Bosma hustled from 16 th to fourth place and Lee Goos Jr. rallied from 13 th to fifth.

A total of 44 drivers signed in and the heat races were won by Amelia Eisenschenk, Ferriera, Graf, Rosenboom and Jake Greenwood. Bosma and Nate Eakin were the B Main winners.

Racing returns to Jackson Motorplex in two weeks with back-to-back nights. The Livewire Printing Company 360 Shootout presented by Tweeter Contracting featuring the Gunderson Racing Inc. Midwest Sprint Touring Series 360 Sprint Cars and the Wyffels Hybrids RaceSaver Sprint Cars presented by Heser Auto & Detailing is July 25.

The following night is the Merle Johnson Memorial Border Battle presented by New Fashion Pork featuring the Midwest Sprint Touring Series 410 sprint cars and the Wyffels Hybrids RaceSaver Sprint Cars presented by Heser Auto & Detailing.

Varin Wins Battle, Poirier Wins War in ESS CNY Speedweek Finale at Weedsport

By Curtis Berleue (Weedsport, NY) | After a grueling week of action at tracks across NY state, the 2024 version of the Empire Super Sprints CNY Speedweek concluded Sunday night at the Weedsport Speedway in Weedsport, NY. Sitting atop victory hill when the dust settled was Danny Varin, $2,500 richer for his efforts.

Pinnacle Pole Award winner Jordan Thomas brought the field to the green flag and jumped out to an early lead over Matt Tanner and Jonathan Preston.

Working the extreme high side of the track, the lead trio caught lap traffic on lap 8, and Thomas was able to extend his lead navigating the slower cars with ease. By lap 12, he had extended his advantage over Matt Tanner to nearly half a track.

As the laps wound down, however, Thomas’ early lead had vanished, and while battling for position with Matt Tanner, his night would end in the fourth turn wall on the last lap.

The ensuing restart set up a one-lap duel between Tanner and Varin, with Varin emerging victorious.

“At the end, I was going to put it in the fence or try to win it,” said Varin. “We just had to pull that wing forward and give it everything we had there for the lap and it paid off.”

“We got about an hour’s worth of sleep last night; drove all the way back to Fonda, pulled two motors out, put one back in – it was just a huge effort and I couldn’t do it without this whole team.”

Matt Tanner would cross the line in second, and Jonathan Preston rounded out the Ashley Lynn Winery podium in third.

34 winged warriors signed in for action on the final night of CNY Speedweek, splitting the field into four timed hot lap groups. Rifenburg Contracting fast time awards went to Cory Turner, Jordan Thomas, Danny Varin and Larry wight. E&V Energy heat races were won by Jason Barney, Jordan Poirier, Danny Varin and Larry Wight. The Lacaillade Masonry B-Main went to Kelly Hebing, while Johnny Smith won The Wildcat dash.

After one rainout and four straight nights of action, Jordan Poirier was crowned the 2024 CNY Speedweek champion. The St. Mathieu de Beloeil, Quebec driver was consistent all week, with a second-place finish at Utica-Rome, third at Brewerton, sixth at Fulton and fourth at Weedsport to round out the week.

Davie Franek finished the week second in points, followed by Jason Barney in third, Danny Varin and Matt Tanner to round out the top five.

The next scheduled event for the Empire Super Sprints is Friday July 19th at the Albany-Saratoga Speedway in Malta, NY.

Williamson, Donnohue and Zebell Earn First Huset's Speedway Wins of Season During Metro Construction Night

Inside Line Promotions - BRANDON, S.D. (July 7, 2024) - Garet Williamson, Brady Donnohue and J.J. Zebell each maneuvered to their first feature victory of the season at Huset's Speedway on Sunday during Metro Construction Night.

The three new winners now make 20 different winners in 22 main events at the high-banked track this season.

Williamson led the final 11 laps of the Cressman Sanitation 410 Outlaw Sprint Cars and Midwest Sprint Touring Series 410 Sprint Cars main event, which saw a green-white-checkered finish as Williamson was in turn four on the final scheduled lap when the caution came out.

"The car was phenomenal," he said after pulling away to a comfortable triumph following the late restart. "That was a blast to drive. Tonight we put a whole night together. We were really great. When everything clicks, it's really nice."

Justin Henderson paced the field for the first dozen laps before Kerry Madsen powered from third into the lead on the bottom of turns one and two on Lap 13. On the ensuing lap, Madsen narrowly made contact with a sideways car he was attempting to lap, spinning out in turns one and two. That gave the top spot back to Henderson, who led for the next lap before Williamson drove around him in turns three and four.

Despite thick traffic and a late-race restart, Williamson was efficient to score his second career victory at the track. He became the division's seventh different winner in seven weekly races this season.

"The track was phenomenal," he said. "It opened up really nice. I love racing here. It's really fun. We've been struggling so this one is really big. It's so hard to win a race; it doesn't matter where you go."

Chase Randall finished with a runner-up result for the third time at the track this season.

"It was a great night, all in all," he said. "We had a strong car."

Mark Dobmeier recorded his first podium finish of the season at Huset's Speedway with a third-place outing.

"It was a nice, solid night for us," he said. "I think I had a car that could have won the feature. We've been tweaking on it all year and kinda all last year as well. We're going in the right direction."

Henderson placed fourth and Tim Estenson tied a career-best result at Huset's Speedway with a fifth-place finish.

Madsen and Henderson each set quick time in their group's qualifying session to open the night. The heat races were won by points leader Kaleb Johnson, Estenson, Dobmeier and Randall. Scott Winters was the B Main winner.

Donnohue used the top of the track to take the lead near the midpoint of the 20-lap Wyffels Hybrids RaceSaver Sprint Car Series main event to garner his first career triumph at the track. He is the seventh different division victor this year.

"I didn't really expect to win my first year out," he said. "That turned out to be a really good track. It slicked off nice and was awesome."

Taylor Forbes led early and focused on the bottom lane before multiple drivers began using the top of the track to move forward. Donnohue, who started seventh, pounced shortly after a red flag on Lap 5 with Brandon Bosma and Shayle Bade making waves on the outside line as well. The final caution occurred on Lap 16 when Bosma spun after he and Bade made contact entering turn one.

Bade finished with a charge from 10 th to second place. Cole Vanderheiden maneuvered from 13 th to third. Trefer Waller was fourth and Koby Werkmeister rallied from 18 th to fifth.

Waller, Bayley Ballenger, Bade and Jay Masur picked up heat race wins. The B Mains were won by Jacob Peterson and Werkmeister.

Zebell hustled from 13 th to capture his eighth career Nordstrom's Automotive Late Model Street Stocks feature victory at Huset's Speedway.

"That's what I've worked on this year is being patient," he said. "I just weaved my way through and had a couple of good luck (moments)."

Kinzer Glanzer led the first six laps before he and second-running Tracy Halouska connected and came to a stop in turns one and two. Garet Deboer inherited the top spot and held the point for a trio of laps before he spun entering turn one on a restart on Lap 10. Zebell moved into the lead and held off 11th-starting Matt Steuerwald to extend his lead in the championship standings.

Cory Yeigh rallied from 12 th to third with John Hoing advancing from 16 th to fourth. Mike Chaney rounded out the top five.

Billy Prouty, Halouska and Brett Martin were the heat race winners.

The next race at Huset's Speedway is Sunday for Huset's Hall of Fame Night featuring the Cressman Sanitation 410 Outlaw Sprint Cars, Nordstrom's Automotive Late Model Street Stocks and the Wyffels Hybrids RaceSaver Sprint Car Series.

Andy Forsberg, Michael Faccinto, Josef Ferolito and Nick Baldwin claim Placerville Speedway wins

By Gary Thomas

Placerville, CA…Auburn’s Andy Forsberg snagged the lead on an early restart and dominated the remainder of the way to grab his 72nd career Placerville Speedway Winged Sprint Car triumph on Saturday night.

Sharing victory lane on Red Hawk Casino Night were Michael Faccinto with the USAC/BCRA Midgets, Josef Ferolito with the BCRA Lightning Sprints and Nick Baldwin with the Pure Stocks.

The 25-lap Thompson’s Family of Dealerships Winged Sprint Car main event saw current point leader Bubba Decaires jump in front after battling Oregon driver Tyler Thompson on the opening circuit. The pilot of the Morrison Concrete No. 94 set the pace as racers battled for position behind him.

Andy Forsberg climbed into second on lap seven however and took advantage of a restart to rocket past Decaires for the top spot. Once out front the nine-time track champion pulled away from the field with ease. Forsberg ran the cushion to perfection and went on to cross under the Ron Stahl checkered flag for his third win of the season at Placerville Speedway.

Placerville’s Shane Hopkins continued his stellar start to the campaign by finishing in the runner up spot, followed by Decaires, Sacramento’s Austin Wood and Thompson. Rounding out the top-10 were Justin Peck, Michael Faccinto, Ashlyn Rodriguez, Izaak Sharp and Blaine Craft.

The USAC Western States/ BCRA Midget feature came to the line with husband-and-wife duo of Michael and Danika Jo Faccinto sharing the front row. M. Faccinto moved out front at the waving of the green flag. Around lap five though all eyes were glued to current USAC point leader Cade Lewis, who ran the cushion like a veteran.

Lewis charged by Faccinto to snag the lead on lap nine, with Arizona racer Drake Edwards following along for second a few circuits later. Edwards then attempted a super slider with four laps remaining but got sideways and resulted in Lewis climbing over him, ending in a nasty set of barrel rolls. Luckily, Lewis was okay but done for the night, as was Edwards.

Michael Faccinto then inherited the lead and led the final four laps for the victory over Brandon Wiley, Dane Colver, Dalten Gabbard and Robby Flock.

Modesto’s Josef Ferolito brought home his second straight Placerville Speedway victory with the BCRA Wingless Lightning Sprints on Saturday. Dakota Albright ran second, followed by Matt Land, Hunter Kinney and Greg Dennett.

The Red Hawk Casino Pure Stock feature saw Placerville’s Tyler Lightfoot blast his way into the lead at the start. Lightfoot set the early pace but had five-time track champion Nick Baldwin coming like a house of fire.

Baldwin made the move on lap seven and went to score his 28th career Placerville Speedway win. Lightfoot tallied a runner up finish at the checkered with Kevin Jinkerson, Tommy Sturgeon and Anthony Vigna completing the top-five.

Placerville Speedway returns to action with Burger Night presented by Kings Meats on Saturday July 13th. All burgers will be half price during the evening.

Price Shows The Way In Front of Packed Skagit Speedway House

7/6/24

By Kaleb Hart

Alger, WA - With a packed house watching on, Robbie Price found Skagit Speedway success on Saturday Night with his first win of the year. With Les Schwab supporting the racing action and fireworks to follow, it was Price, Jeff Westergard and Colin Sims taking home feature wins.

Price and Colton Heath started the main event in row one and after swapping moves and race lines multiple times in the first two laps, Robbie found the forward bite he needed to pull away and establish a strong lead. Heath settled into second and spent most of the race trying to keep Price from ditching him in traffic - Robbie had just finished lapping 11th place when a lap 24 caution bunched the field. Heath had cut Robbie’s lead in half right before the caution came out, but on the ensuing restart, chaos erupted from second on back, as Jesse Schlotfeldt and Jason Solwold had monster restarts that pushed them into podium finishing positions. No one could catch Price who rolled on to win the features ahead of Schlotfeldt and Solwold. Trey Starks set quick time. Heat races were won by Chase Goetz, Garen Linder, Schlotfeldt and Cam Smith.

Jeff Westergard won his first Skagit Aggregates Modifieds main event at Skagit Speedway. Westergard took the lead from Brent Morris on lap 12 and went on to win his first feature of the season at his home track. Alan Grimbly ran second with Ben Gunderson taking third. Grimbly and Gunderson were heat winners along with Austin Smith.

In the Hornet class, Colin Sims held off a strong challenge from Steve Peters to win the A Feature. Peters would try every line he could find, but Sims had the right defensive move for each attempt to stay ahead and win the race. Peters and Brian Michelson rounded out the podium. Michelson was fast time while heat race wins went to Howard Vos and Tazio Andreasson.

Farnham and Jones Win Thrillers at Tri City Raceway Park; Mollick, Gomola, and Laskey Also Prevail

(Franklin, PA July 7, 2024): Matt Farnham captured the victory at Tri City Raceway Park in a thrilling finish in the Krill Recycling 410 Sprint Cars. Farnham got by Michael Bauer on the last lap, while A.J. Flick was closing fast on them both.

In another close battle, Roman Jones made a winning move in turns three and four on the final lap to score in the regularly scheduled feature for the Allegheny Sprint Tour 305 Sprints. Jake Gomola won the make-up feature for that class.

John Mollick and Rod Laskey also smiled in victory lane for the 4 Your Car Connection RUSH Sprints and the Hovis Auto & Truck Supply Pro Stocks, respectively.

Farnham and Bauer paced the field for the twenty-five lap Krill Recycling 410 Sprint Cars. Jeremy Weaver started third, with Gale Rulth, Jr. as his dance partner. Bob Felmlee and Dale Blaney made up row three. A.J. Flick and last week’s winner, Carl Bowser, were in row four. Brandon Spithaler and Jack Sodeman, Jr. paired up in row five, with Dan Kuriger making his first 2024 start from the inside of row six. Next to him was Zach Morrow.

Bauer jumped out to the early lead, with Farnham close in second. Ruth, Weaver, Flick, and Blaney followed. Before teh racers settled in, there were a pair of cautions. When the race got going again, it ran the remaining laps without any further interruptions.

Bauer held control, and it appeared as though he might get his first win of the season at Tri City Raceway Park. But Farhnham kept chipping away at the lead. When Bauer got hung up behind a lapper, Farnham seized upon the opportunity to make his move. He scooted by Bauer heading into turn one on the final lap. Bauer tried to launch a counterattack in turn three on the final lap, but he could not hold his line.

Flick was also coming on at the end. He may have had a shot ant both Bauer and Farnham on the final lap, but the presence of the lapped car would have made such a move quite difficult. So, He settled for third with a lot of what ifs on his mind.

Blaney was fourth, with Ruth in fifth. Bowser, Felmlee, Kuriger, Chase Metheney, and Dusty Larson rounded out the top ten.

Heat winners for the Krill Recycling 410 Sprint Cars were Dale Blaney and Jeremy Weaver. There was no B Main.

The 4 Your Car Connection RUSH Sprint Cars had teen Logen Lockhart and veteran John Mollick bring the field to the green. Brent Rhebergen and Zack Wilson were in row two. The third consisted of Joe Buccola and Arnie Kent. Luke Mullichak and Blaze Myers were in row four. The fifth row paired Tyler Clark and Rickie Tucker, III. The sixth row presented Devon Deeter and Charles McClintock.

Mollick surged ahead at the start of the fifteen lap feature. As the laps clicked off, Blaze Myers moved ahead, reaching second by lap eight. By then, Mollick had a commanding lead. Myers closed in on the veteran, but he could not attempt a pass for the lead.

At the checkers, it was Mollick once again, followed by Myers, Rhebergen, Buccola, and Kent. Wilson, Mullichak, Billy Myers, and Charles McClintock followed.

The twin heats for the 4 Your Car Connection RUSH Sprints went to Luke Mullichak and John Mollick. There was no B Main.

In the Hovis Auto & Truck Supply Pro Stocks, Shane Applebee and Brett McDonald were at the head of the field. Behind them were Doug Iorio, II and Travis Norman. The third row matched Rod Laskey with Jackson Humanic, who was subbing for Josh Seippel. Pat Fielding and and Jake Whitling made up row four. Mike Bordt and Andrew Hammond had row five. Aaron Smith and Jason Kinney held the sixth.

Laskey raced his way to the front early in the fifteen lapper. Humanic followed into the second position by lap four. Humanic was persistent, but he could not get by the veteran racer.

Laskey maintained his advantage despite two cautions that bunched up the field. Fielding, Bordt, and McDonald completed the top five. The next finishers were Applebee, Russ Coyne, Smith, Whitling, and Hammond.

The Hovis Auto & Truck Supply Pro Stocks ran two heat races, which were won by Humanic and McDonald. There was no B Main.

In the regular show for the Allegheny Sprint Tour 305 Sprint Cars, Zack Wilson and Roman Jones staked their claims to row one. Then came Jeremy Kornbau and Jim Pattock. Row three matched Greg Dobrosky and Timmy Bittner. Andy Priest and Jake Gomola were in row four, followed by Vivian Jones and Shane Shook. Jarret Rosencrance and Roman Gephart occupied row six.

Rhodes grabbed the lead at the drop of the green and led until turn three on the final lap. Roman Jones drove deep into the corner and the two racers were wheel to wheel through the final corners. Jones powered ahead comin off turn four to get his first win of the season.

Interestingly, Jones telegraphed the winning move just before the final caution came out. The caution set him back to second for the restart. Rhodes got away cleanly, but Jones had enough in reserve to repeat the maneuver when it counted.

Gomola took third, followed by Priest and Pattock. Groves, Bittner, Hunter Hite, Shamus O’Donnell, and Lacey Shuttleworth rounded out the top ten.

The Allegheny Sprint Tour also presented two heats. The winners were Priest and Kornbau. There was no B Main.

In the make-up feature for the Allegheny Sprint Tour 305 Sprint Cars, Jake Gomola and Jeremy Kornbau brought the field to the green. Roman Gephart and Andy Priest lined up in the second row, followed by Timmy Bittner and James Pattock. Nolan Groves and Greg Dobrosky made up row four. Then came Jarrett Rosencrance and Jazlyn Boyles. Seth Harrelson and Vivian Jones were in row six.

Gomola made a power move around the outside of turn two following a lap six restart to take the lead from Kornbau, who led from the start of the event. Kornbau’s car began to overheat in the second half of the race and he lost power, eventually finishing third behind Gomola and Andy Priest.

Fourth went to Nolan Groves and fifth to Jarrett Rosencrance. Vivian Jones, Aaron Murano, James Pattock, Shamus O’Donnell, and Timmy Bittner were sixth trough tenth based upon laps completed.

The line-up for this event was set on May 26, before the rains came. No new cars were added.

WESTBROOK, BEGOLO, BAILEY, AND COOPER WIN ON BIKE NIGHT AT OHSWEKEN

Article Credit: Brent Otchere

OHSWEKEN, Ont. (July 5, 2024) – Strickland’s Brantford GM and Hunsinger's Plumbing, HVAC, & Electrical presented Drive Safe, Ride Safe, Race Safe Bicycle Night at Ohsweken Speedway on Friday; Dylan Westbrook, Brent Begolo, Dave Bailey, and Jeremy Cooper took A-Main wins.

Kool Kidz-Corr/Pak 360 Sprint Cars
Cory Turner and Eric Gledhill brought the 22 car field to the green flag for the 360 Sprint Car A-Main. Cory Turner set the pace, leading the opening laps while drivers in the midfield were battling for positions. Points leader Dylan Westbrook hunted down Cory Turner for the lead on lap seven, just before a caution came out due to Todd Hoddick spinning to a stop off turn one. Westbrook assumed the lead once more after the restart, quickly building a gap of over eight seconds to second and third place runners Cory Turner and Ryan Turner respectively.

After it was all said and done, Westbrook found himself back in victory lane picking up his fifth win of the season and furthering his points lead. Rounding out the top five were Cory Turner in second, Ryan Turner third, Eric Gledhill fourth, and Darren Dryden fifth. Gledhill set a new track record of 13.010 seconds in hot laps earlier in the evening, besting the fastest recorded 360 Sprint Car lap in track history set by Tom Huppunen in 2009.

Strickland’s Crate Sprint Cars
Sheldon Bender started on pole with Brent Begolo next to him for the 20 lap Crate Sprint Car A-Main. Begolo rocketed ahead of Bender, quickly becoming the favourite to win as his pace could not be matched by the field running a higher downforce setup. A.J. Lewis spun to a stop on lap four, bringing out the caution. Begolo once again got away from the pack unscathed, however.

Lap ten saw a red flag incident as multiple drivers were involved in an incident in which Steve Murdock’s car took significant damage; all the involved drivers were unharmed. Two more cautions came out in the latter half of the race but Begolo still remained in the lead, holding off the previous week’s winner Brett Stratford despite the restarts. Begolo went on to lead all 20 laps, picking up his second career Crate Sprint Car win. Next to cross the line were Stratford in second, Ryan Fraser third, Johnny Miller fourth, and Bender fifth.

Up Next at Ohsweken Speedway

Spithaler Holds off Peterson For Wayne County Win

Defending Ti22 Performance FAST On Dirt champion, Brandon Spithaler, waged a torrid battle with current tour leader, Zane DeVault last night at Wayne County Speedway. Spithaler would emerge victorious in the 30-lap Rick Susong Memorial after DeVault tangled with lapped traffic while leading the race.

The action began with thirty-one-winged 410 sprint cars signed in for the night. Spithaler laid down the quickest overall lap in ARP Fasteners qualifying with a 14.548 to pace flight B. Cody Bova led flight A with a lap of 15.000. Heat race action saw Dale Blaney, Ricky Peterson, Leyton Wagner and Chris Myers picking up wins. The B Main was won by Jamie Myers.

The 30-lap main event was brought to green by Cody Bova and Zane DeVault and the pair drag raced to turn one. DeVault would lead the early stages but third starting Spithaler was there to do battle. Travis Philo was the first of three serious contenders out of the event, then, pole starter Bova got some help finding the inside implement tires on the back straight, doing serious damage to his car.

A late race restart found DeVault, Spithaler, Peterson, Wagner and Gunn all battling for the lead up front. Spithaler and DeVault swapped the lead before DeVault pulled away to a 10-car length lead. With victory on the horizon, he approached slower traffic, only to make contact and spin into the guardrail in turn three.

Back under green for the final seven laps, Spithaler fended off the challenge of Ricky Peterson with Leyton Wagner completing the podium. Tyler Gunn and Henry Malcuit rounded out a very strong top five. Dale Blaney, Chris Myers, Jordan Ryan, Darin Naida and Dylan Kingan completed the top ten.

Next up for the Ti22 Performance FAST tour is this coming weekend, a Hoosier state doubleheader. Friday, July 12 at Circle City Raceway near Indianapolis and Saturday, July 13 at Paragon Speedway. Watch for event details to be posted in the coming days.

Franek Flies to Fulton Victory Lane

By Curtis Berleue (Fulton, NY) | For the second time in 2024, ‘No Panic’ Davie Franek found himself in victory lane on Saturday night with the Empire Super Sprints. Earning $2,500 for his efforts, the New Jersey native took the lead on lap 5 and never looked back.

Starting on the Pinnacle Pole, Franek fell into second place early behind outside polesitter Shawn Donath. On lap 5, Franek was able to slip by on Donath to take the lead.

While running second, troubles with the ignition on lap 11 resulted in a DNF for the #53 of Donath, which handed over the runner up position to Matt Tanner.

With everyone moving up a position as a result, that meant Billy VanInwegen would take over the final podium position moving into third, where he spent the next handful of laps.

Meanwhile, eventual A-Verdi Storage Containers hard charger award recipient Jason Barney was working his way through the pack. Starting in 25th position after getting upside down in his heat race and more misfortune in the B-Main, Barney passed 22 cars, the final being VanInwegen on lap 23 to slip into third.

Nobody had anything for Franek, however, as he crossed the checkers first with just shy of a 3.5 second advantage on lap 25.

“Restarts were definitely not good for me tonight,” said Franek in victory lane.

“Obviously I got the lead there, but it was tough in the cockpit, the motor stumbled a little bit and really didn’t have the car the way we wanted. Its just great to be standing here.”

Matt Tanner was able to hold on for second, while Jason Barney rounded out the Ashley Lynn Winery podium in third. Billy VanInwegen was fourth, and Johnny Smith completed the top five.

32 cars lined the pits for the 4th night of the 2024 CNY Speedweek, with the field being split into four timed hot lap groups. Rifenburg Contracting fast time awards went to Davie Franek, Johnny Smith, Ryan Coniam and Danny Varin. E&V Energy heat race winners were Matt Tanner, Jordan Poirier, Billy VanInwegen and Shawn Donath. The East Coast Sealcoat dash was won by Jordan Thomas, while Robbie Stillwaggon picked up the Lacaillade Masonry B-Main.

The next scheduled event for the Empire Super Sprints is Sunday, July 7th at the Weedsport Speedway in Weedsport, NY. For the latest news, information, and schedule updates regarding the Empire Super Sprints be sure to check the series website (www.EmpireSuperSprints.com) and follow along on Facebook (Empire Super Sprints), Twitter (@ESSprints) and Instagram (@empiresupersprints).

Eldon, MO. (7/6/24) Hunter Schuerenberg would flex his racing might once again with the POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprint in Night Two of the Independence Celebrations presented by Start2Finish TV to notch his third league victory and pocket the payday in an outstanding twenty-five lap feature event at Lake Ozark Speedway.

Flying onto the smooth surface with thirty talented entrants of the POWRi 410’s would see Jace Park set a quick qualifying time of 11.629-second lap with Joe B Miller, Gunner Ramey, Chase Porter, and Roger Crockett each earning heat racing victories.

Captivating the crowd on the initial green flag start with high-point qualifier Hunter Schuerenberg and Jace Park lined up in the front row would find Jace Park gain the lead on the opening lap with Hunter Schuerenberg, Joe B Miller, Xavier Doney, and Jake Bubak all raced within the top five.

Overtaking for the top position when occurring lap traffic would find Hunter Schuerenberg using a precise high line to take the lead from Jace Park with Joe B Miller following suite into the runner-up positioning with Park fading to third.

Setting the stage for late race drama, caution would wave with four laps remaining with Joe B Miller attempting to take the top-spot using a slider line on the restart with Schuerenberg protecting the lead with perfection.

Leading the final twenty revolutions, Hunter Schuerenberg would not be denied in earning his third-straight career POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprint victory in an action-packed main event with Joe B Miller hustling into the runner-up position.

“The track was more technical tonight and I hate being up front leading when the rubber starts to show, it’s like I’m a sitting duck,” said an elated Hunter Schuerenberg in the Eldon Missouri victory lane ceremony celebrations. Adding, “I really appreciate all the support and I hope we get to do this again really soon”.

Challenging closely behind would find one-time leader of five laps Jace Park placing on the final podium placement from the starting second position on the initial green flag. Eighth-starting Sam Hafertepe Jr would be among the frontrunners all feature to fourth as Jake Bubak would round out the top-five finishers for the POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprints in Night Two of the Independence Celebrations at Lake Ozark Speedway.

Brubaker breaks through for 1st 410 win of year at Fremont; Stroup dominates 305s; Valenti tames trucks

Saturday, July 6, 2024

By Brian Liskai

FREMONT, Ohio – There were times during the 2024 racing season that Stuart Brubaker probably thought about quitting as his family-owned 410 sprint team struggled with performance and crashes, switching chassis and set-ups trying to find speed. But, the veteran didn’t give up and it finally paid off at Fremont Speedway Presented by Gill Construction Saturday, July 6 in thrilling fashion on Roots Poultry Night.

A three-time Fremont Speedway 305 track champion, Brubaker, from Helena, Ohio, watched an over four second lead evaporate as he struggled with lapped traffic late in the caution-free 30-lap Fort Ball Pizza Palace 410 Sprint feature. Brubaker held off a charging Cap Henry to score his first win of the season by just .196 seconds. DJ Foos, Larry Kingseed and Mike Keegan rounded out the top five. It was Brubaker’s 9th career victory at “The Track That Action Built.”

“I was a little bit faster than the lapped cars but if I moved off the bottom then I opened a lane for him (Henry) and them guys ain’t afraid of crashing. To say we’ve struggled this year is a huge understatement. We’ve tried different cars… we changed everything and this car is the one we started the year with. It’s my guys, Bill and Brad and Ron…they never gave up. They have been busting their asses all year trying to get me better,” said Brubaker beside his Pit Stop, Black Swamp H&C, Story Equipment, Josh Kromer’s Seamless Gutters, Finish Line Race Fuels, Gressman Powersports backed #35.

With his second place finish Henry, the 2023 All Pro Aluminum Cylinder Heads/Kistler Racing Products Attica Fremont Championship Series presented by the Baumann Auto Group champion, closes the gap on Cale Thomas and Zeth Sabo who entered the night one and two in the series’ standings as Thomas finished 10th and Sabo 13th at Fremont.

Just like Brubaker, Fremont, Ohio’s Dustin Stroup has struggled at Fremont Speedway in 2024. A night after his car suffered a rear end issue at Attica Raceway Park, Stroup was able to dominate the Fremont Federal Credit Union 305 Sprint feature that saw only one caution flag for his first win of 2024 at the track. Stroup’s 10th career victory at Fremont came in dominating fashion as he won by six seconds over Jamie Miller, Tyler Schiets, Zack Kramer and Kasey Ziebold.

“Last night we blew a rear-end up at Attica so Dad and I stayed up late and got it all changed and Jamie and the guys came over and we got it all squared away. I felt really good but not six seconds good…that’s awesome. I gotta thank everyone on this thing…Jamie and Renee for letting me drive their car. My mom and dad and my girlfriend Katie and my daughter Layla, Tracey…everybody that helps out,” said Stroup beside his Sulfur Town Pub, BSE Welding, Meru Safety, Velocity Print, The Pizza House, Sunrise Designs, Momma Dukes from Shelluke’s Bar and Grill, GCE LLC, Handy Grafix, Mitten Painting, Myers Racing Engines, Rohr Total Lawn Care, Eye Candy Custom Cycles, DJ Johnson & Family, GWH, Advance Auto Parts, BRS, J&J Auto backed #12x.

Miller’s second place run will keep him atop the NAPA of Bryan Attica Fremont Championship Series presented by Jason Dietsch Trailer Sales standings though Stroup’s win will narrow that gap.

Despite a lot of cautions, the 20-lap Burmeister Trophy Dirt Truck feature was very entertaining up front. Dustin Keegan led the first two laps before Steve Miller took the lead for four circuits. Keith Sorg drove into the top spot on lap seven before surrendering it to Shawn Valenti on lap 12. Sorg inched back ahead for lap 14 before Valenti regained the lead on lap 15. Valenti ran the top shelf while Sorg hugged the bottom and pair raced side by side the last five laps and coming to the checkers Valenti edged Sorg by .083 seconds for his third win at Fremont in 2024 with Dan Hennig, Keegan and Kent Brewer rounding out the top five.

Valenti’s third straight truck win is the 77th of his career at Fremont and puts him in second on the all-time win list, surpassing hall of famer the late Art Ball and just three behind Paul Weaver.

“I grew up watching Art Ball and got to race with him with him quite a bit and I think his last win…he got me on that one. To surpass him…hats off to his career. It’s amazing to be up here with that many wins. Hats off to Babcock and all my guys on this brand new truck…the thing is amazing. I wasn’t sure if I should leave the top on either end and obviously I shouldn’t have…he (Sorg) drove it in there pretty hard on the last lap,” said Valenti beside his Craig Miller Trucking, Conrad Transportation, Dave Story Equipment, A Plus Auto Center, Concrete Material Supply, S&S Hauling and Excavating backed #7B.

Fremont Speedway will be back in action Saturday, July 13 with the AFCS 410 and 305 sprints and dirt trucks in action on Crown Battery Night.

About Root’s Poultry - https://www.rootspoultry.com

Wayne Root was stringing phone lines when the Great Depression hit. To support his family, Root began buying produce and other foods from local farmers and taking them to market in the Cleveland area. In Cleveland, he would purchase products to bring back and sell to the farmers. At some point Wayne started raising his own chickens to butcher and take to market and that evolved into a chicken processing facility.

The facility where Roots Poultry is located today near Fremont opened in early 1956. It still had an area in the back where chickens were brought in, a processing area in the middle and, in the front, a retail store. Due to a change in federal law, Wayne quit raising and dressing his own chickens and Roots became a processor. Later, Wayne’s grandchildren Mark and Mike Damschroder were working in the business and in 1985 bought it from their grandmother.

The company had evolved to the point that it was producing ready-to-eat chicken products. Shredded chicken became the company’s bread-and-butter product, but later the company added barbeque pork and other pork and beef products under the Daisyfield brand. Today Roots produces over two dozen products and all can be found in the freezer section at area retail stores.

Hunter Schuerenberg Snags Repeat Victory with POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprints at Lake Ozark Speedway

Eldon, MO. (7/5/24) Hunter Schuerenberg would seize the opportunity to return to victory lane with the POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprint in Night One of the Independence Celebrations presented by Start2Finish TV to notch his second-straight league victory and pocket the payday in an action-packed feature event at Lake Ozark Speedway.

Flying onto the smooth surface with thirty-one talented entrants of the POWRi 410’s would see Jake Bubak set a quick qualifying time of 11.507-second lap with Tim Estenson, Kyle Bellm, Garet Williamson, and Hunter Schuerenberg each earning heat racing victories as well as Max Guilford grabbing the lone semi-feature victory.

Captivating the crowd on the initial green flag start with high-point qualifier Hunter Schuerenberg and Emerson Axsom lined up in the front row as Schuerenberg would shoot to the lead on the opening lap with Axsom, Joe B Miller, Jake Bubak, and Blake Hahn all racing within the early top five.

Overtaking for the top-spot would find Emerson Axsom leading the pack of hungry POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprinters for a total of seventeen laps while appearing to be in a class above the competition with Hunter Schuerenberg settling into the runner up position as Joe B Miller continued to stalk in third.

Setting the stage for late-race dramatics, Hunter Schuerenberg would use perfect timing on a choose-cone restart to slide into the front-scored spot and hold the final revolutions with Axsom racing rapidly to recover in runner-up placement.

Going back-to-back in victories, Hunter Schuerenberg would not be denied leading eight laps and earning his second career POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprint victory in an action-packed main event with Emerson Axsom settling for the runner-up position late.

“You just have to play the hand that is dealt to you. This track was a bit dryer, faster, and trickier than we expected tonight, I made one mistake in lap traffic and Emerson was right there to get by me. That last restart was key and I knew I had to get to the bottom before he could shut the door because the top was curby and tough” said the elated Hunter Schuerenberg in the Eldon Missouri victory lane ceremony celebrations. Adding, “These young kids can race hard but clean so that makes this so much better”.

Challenging closely behind would find Jake Bubak placing on the final podium placement from the starting fifth on the initial green flag. Ayrton Gennetten would be among the frontrunners late in the feature to finish fourth as Roger Crockett would round out the top-five finishers for the POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprints in Night One of the Independence Celebrations at Lake Ozark Speedway.

Friesen Finds Victory Lane in CNY Speedweek Night One
By Curtis Berleue (Vernon, NY) | Making a rare sprint car start, NASCAR Truck series driver Stewart Friesen picked up his fourth CNY Speedweek victory and first since 2015 on Thursday night at Utica-Rome Speedway. Driving for Glenn Styres, the now Sprakers, NY driver fended off multiple charges from Jordan Poirier for the $2,500 victory.
Pinnacle pole award winner Stewart Friesen brought the field to green with Jordan Poirier on his outside. Going into turn one, Poirier took the early advantage on the outside. Before a lap could be completed, however, the first caution flew for multiple slowing cars.
The ensuing restart saw another caution before the field could reach turn 3, this time for Josh Pieniazek in turn 1. The third restart was the charm, though, as a lap was able to be completed and Friesen was able to jump out to the lead.
As Friesen clicked off lap 5, he started navigating lap traffic, with Poirier, Billy VanInwegen, Danny Varin and Jordan Thomas in tow. The next lap, however, another caution flew, this time for a slowing Chris Hile.
Poirier was able to take full advantage of the restart, as he got a good run around the top and took the lead from Friesen. Behind the leaders, Matt Tanner was the star of the show as he had worked his way from the 22nd starting position to 9th in the first 10 laps.
Another caution on lap 12 slowed the field again, and it spelled heartbreak for Tanner as an issue under caution ended his march to the front.
Friesen was able to re-take the lead from Poirier on the restart, working the high side. Danny Varin followed in third, with Billy VanInwegen now in fourth and Joe Trenca rounding out the top 5.
With Friesen opening up his lead over Poirier, all eyes were on the battle for 5th as Trenca and Davie Franek would trade slide jobs on each end of the track.
Friesen was able to continue pulling away from the rest of the field and crossed under the checkers with over a 5 second lead.
“That was a blast, big thanks to Glenn and the whole GSR crew, they’re building these cars and motors in house now, and they were great” said Friesen in victory lane. “I didn’t fire off real good on the bottom on restarts. I would overshoot turn one and then Jordan would get me.”
“The track was great though, even with as slick as it was we could race all over it.”
Jordan Poirier crossed the line in second, a solid start to CNY Speedweek.
“I tried to start slow, I knew if I started slow I could have the momentum on the top side,” said Poirier. “I knew if he got out in front of me, it was going to be tough to pass him.”
“He was super fast in 3 and 4, and it seemed like my car was just a little bit tighter. Hopefully tomorrow will go just like tonight and we can finish up front.”
Rounding out the Ashley Lynn Winery podium was Danny Varin.
“It was tough tonight,” said Varin. “When you start with those guys on the front row its going to be tough to beat them. Hats off to those guys, we made our car better all night but we were just off a little bit at the beginning of the night and were just trying to catch up a little bit.
With 37 cars signed in on the night, the field was split into four timed hot lap groups. Rifenburg Contracting fast time awards went to Joe Trenca, Jason Barney, Jordan Poirier, and Matt Farnham. E&V Energy heat race winners were Joe Trenca, Jason Barney, Jordan Poirier and Jordan Thomas. Shawn Donath picked up the Kinney’s Kar Kare dash, and Alex Therrien won the Lacaillade Masonry B-Main.

Thomas gets 3rd 410 win at Attica; Moore earns third late model victory; Sebetto drives to 2nd 305 win at Attica

Friday, July 5, 2024

By Brian Liskai

ATTICA, Ohio – Cale Thomas took the lead with only five laps to go in the 410 sprint feature Friday, July 5 at Attica Raceway Park and drove to his third win of the year at the track on Heidelberg Materials/Sutton Bank Fan Appreciation Night.

Thomas, from Fairland, Indiana, now has five total wins in 2024. Attica’s point leader increases his advantage in the points with the All Pro Aluminum Cylinder Heads Attica Fremont Championship Series presented by the Baumann Auto Group. Thomas’ win aboard the Jay Kiser Racing #23 is his sixth podium run of the year at Attica Raceway Park. He now has five career victories at “Ohio’s Finest Racing” speed plant.

Darin Naida led the opening lap of the Callie’s Performance Products 410 Sprint A-main but third starter Zeth Sabo bolted into the top spot a lap later. Sabo built up a 1.5 second lead by the half-way point with Naida, Thomas, Cap Henry and Kalib Henry in tow. With 9 laps to go Thomas disposed of Naida and began closing on Sabo, driving into the lead on lap 25. While Thomas pulled away, the action for second was wild involving Naida, Sabo, Cap Henry and Kalib Henry. At the checkers behind Thomas, Sabo, Cap Henry, Kalib Henry and Naida rounded out the top five.

“I was struggling there at the beginning. The motor was 140 degrees…we had a problem with our engine heater before we went out. These things don’t like being cold and it kind of made it a hand full even when I got myself situated and the motor was good I couldn’t keep the front end down on this thing. Once we got the fuel load off a little bit and got closer to dirty air and I seemed to stay about the same speed when it slowed those other guys down,” said Thomas beside his Spanky’s Pizza, Shelluke’s Bar & Grill, Automatic Fire Protection, Ohio Refrigeration, Ohio Heating, Engler Machine, BH 41, TMH Holdings, Berryman Racing Shocks, Keizer Wheels backed machine.

Colin Shipley led the first 15 laps of the Whistle Stop Presents the Dirt Nerds Podcast Powered by Propane UMP Late Model A-main before Kyle Moore drove around the high side to take the point and drive away for his second straight win at Attica. It’s Moore’s third victory of 2024 at Attica and an incredible eighth straight podium finish at the track. Shipley, JR Gentry, Devin Shiels and Ryan Markham rounded out the top five.

“I was watching Colin but there wasn’t too much I could do…he was letting it hang out getting in and I couldn’t diamond it off in one and two. I followed him and he left a lot of room getting into turn four. I got a run and it was like here it is. We took the point lead and we got another win and this is awesome,” said Moore beside his Kepling Flooring, Tye Tworg Longhorn, Joyride Transportation, Smitley Towing, Short Stop, Malcuit Race Engines, Wilson Realty, Robin Jakubick, RL Bond Septic, Hepthorn Golf Cart Sales, House of Spud, K&B Septic Service, Coffman Composites, Team Midwest Paint, Platinum Design backed #1*

Steve Rando led the first lap of the Fremont Fence 305 Sprints A-main before five time track champion Jamie Miller drove to the lead. Miller built up a nearly three second lead but while slicing through lapped traffic with 10 laps to go, a pair spun, collecting Miller. Rando led on the restart but eighth starter Bryan Sebetto drove under him and took the top spot on lap 17. Sebetto drove away to his second win of the season at Attica and his 16th career victory in the division at the track. It was also Sebetto’s fifth overall victory of 2024.

Rando, Logan Riehl, Brenden Torok and Miller, who drove from the tail after his mid race mishap, rounded out the top five. Miller’s efforts ensure he will remain atop the NAPA of Bryan Attica Fremont Championship Series presented by Jason Dietsch Trailer Sales standings.

“We got off of what we were doing at the beginning of the year there for a little stretch just trying to get better and we were actually getting worse. We went back to what we know and what was working. Guy and Chase and Kevin have this car so good and so driveable right now. We’re at a point where we are just fine tuning here and there. Doug Berryman built us a new left rear shock to try tonight and it was really good,” said Sebetto beside his Sandusky Bay Remodeling, JLH General Contractor, Sandusky Bay RV Rentals, KH Suspension, Race Ready Apparrel, NAPA of Fremont, Clay Keim, Depot Pizza, CA Kustoms, Level Performance backed #01.

Attica Raceway Park will be back in action Tuesday, July 16 for the 36th Annual Ohio Logistics Brad Doty Classic Presented by dac Pet Products featuring the World of Outlaw NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series.

Elida, OH - Honoring sprint car legend Tim Allison tonight at Limaland Motorsports Park, the Great Lakes Super Sprints presented by Engine Pro & ARP had 19 cars on hand. Kasey Jedrzejek (Lagrange, OH) sliced and diced through lap traffic for his third GLSS victory on the 2024 season.

Chase Dunham (Lepisic, OH) led the first couple laps of the race and then rode the cushion a little to hard and ended up in the wall of turn 2. Thankfully Dunham was alright and was able to keep racing. Kasey took this opportunity to charge up a total of 5 spots past Dustin Daggett (Portland, MI) and bring home the Tim Allison 4th Annual Memorial Race.

Early in the night during qualifying we lost two drivers, the 16b of Justin Clark (Hamersville, OH) who ended up in the wall during qualifying and the 49t of Gregg Dalman (Bellevue, MI) who pulled off during qualifying due to motor issues.

“It’s about time,” Paddock said post-race. “I feel like it was long overdue. All my guys and sponsors stick with me. No one gives up. They want to see us do good and we keep coming out no matter what happens the week prior.”

Paddock had a two-second lead over Darryl Ruggles with two laps to go. As he came to the white flag, a caution waved for fifth place running Tyler Chartrand and Dustin Sehn, colliding in turn three.

"I don't really think too much [about it,]" said Paddock on the final yellow. "I didn’t know I had that much of a lead. Makes me get a lot more confidence in the car.”

This stacked the field back up for a green-white-checkered. Ruggles went low while Paddock stayed high, using the outside as momentum to pull away and take the win.

Paddock and Tomy Moreau started on the front row for the second DisBatch Brewing Company Challenge race. The No. 8 wasted no time getting to the front with Ruggles behind. The Land of Legends Wall of Famer would throw a slidejob into turn one to his No. 48jr out front on lap three. The two would go wheel-to-wheel in the opening circuits with Ruggles.

Lap five would bring out the feature's first yellow for Ethan Gray, who suffered a mechanical issue.

On the restart, "The Motorized Madman," Ruggles held serve and opened a gap after Paddock had a risky restart. That lead of up to a second wouldn’t last long as on lap 13 into turn three, Paddock threw a slide job to snatch the lead back.

When in lapped traffic, Paddock was cruising past backmarkers like it was a Sunday drive, increasing the lead to 2.7 seconds, the race’s biggest lead. But then with two to go, Chartrand and Sehn brought out the race’s second and final yellow.

Ruggles grabbed an opportunity to go for the lead, but Paddock would take his first career win by 1.4 seconds.

The battle for the win brought déjà vu to both Paddock and Ruggles as June 1 in weekly action at Land of Legends saw the two race each other hard for the win, with Ruggles taking the checkers for the 48th time at his home track in a 305 Sprint.

This time? Paddock leveled the score.

“I stuck to what I was doing, ripping the top and keeping my momentum up,” Paddock said. “Darryl was getting a little snug where I would catch him and put the move on. Felt good to pass someone like Darryl who has so many wins and is one of the top guys here every week.”

“Dillon’s a good, clean driver and runs very well,” stated Ruggles post-race. “I was just a little tight the whole race. I got out front, he saw where I was running. He was really fast and due for one.”

Tomy Moreau also was a factor at one point. The No. 22 driver kept his car within the top five all night and, at one point, with nine to go, closed in on Paddock and Ruggles for the lead before getting too high in turns one and two. It was still a good points night for "The Canadian Kid," finishing ahead of Jordan Hutton and the latter finished fifth.

“I got to thinking about points racing too because we’re racing Saturday,” explained Moreau. “I can’t crash the car. I felt we were as fast as Darryl and Dillon but at times I couldn’t make the pass each deal. Pretty happy and going to try again Saturday.”

John Cunningham was the feature’s Powdertech Powdercoating Hard Charger, starting 23rd and finishing 11th.

Blake Warner’s last lap pass to win heat four was named the Maguire Family of Dealerships “Magnificent Move of the Race.”

Shane Golobic, Anthony Slaney and Kevin Jinkerson claim 4th of July wins in Placerville

By Gary Thomas

Placerville, CA…Fremont’s Shane Golobic made the move by Dylan Bloomfield on lap 13 and went on to claim his 15th career Placerville Speedway Winged 360 Sprint Car victory on Independence Day.

A large and vocal crowd during the 4th of July special also witnessed Diamond Springs’ Kevin Jinkerson and Martinez driver Anthony Slaney scoop wins with the Red Hawk Casino Pure Stocks and Mountain Democrat Late Models respectively.

Oakley’s Dylan Bloomfield set the early pace in the 25-lap Thompson’s Winged Sprint Car feature. The action was hot and heavy in the opening stages of the contest as drivers battled on every square inch of the quarter mile.

Golobic, however, ran smooth and calculated laps, until turning up the heat by moving into second on lap 11, before snatching the lead around the outside on lap 13. Once in front the former World of Outlaws winner at Placerville dominated things and grabbed the checkered flag for victory. By doing so he tied Billy Wallace and Colby Wiesz on the all-time Winged 360 win list at the track.

Bloomfield crossed the stripe in second followed by Tony Gomes, row 9 started Michael Faccinto and Austin Wood in the top-5. Completing the top-10 were Dominic Gorden, Bubba Decaires, Justin Peck, Ashlyn Rodriguez and Tyler Thompson.

In the Mountain Democrat Ltd. Late Model finale, it was Auburn’s Ray Trimble who jumped out front. Trimble led for a couple laps until Anthony Slaney powered by to grab the point. After that it was all Slaney, who pulled away for his third victory of the year at the track.

Dan Brown Jr. came home in second followed by Jay Norton, Kiely Ricardo and Tyler Lightfoot.

The Red Hawk Casino Pure Stocks provided an entertaining 20-lap feature on Independence Day. The Jinkerson brothers, Kevin and Dan, battled for the lead early with Nick Baldwin right there with them every step of the way.

Kevin Jinkerson took the point and had Baldwin all over him right down to the wire. Jinkerson picked up the win for his second straight triumph at Placerville Speedway and in doing so, took over the point lead. Baldwin finished second ahead of Tommy Sturgeon, Wayne Trimble and Jason Ramos.

Placerville Speedway returns with Red Hawk Casino Night on Saturday. The program will start one hour later than usual with the warm temps forecasted. The front gate will open at 4pm with cars on track around 6:15.

KASEY JEDRZEJEK STRIKES AGAIN AT CRYSTAL MOTOR SPEEDWAY

Crystal , MI - Lagrange, OH native Kasey Jedrzejek wins his second Feature Race with the Great Lakes Super Sprints presented by Engine Pro & ARP Saturday night. Jedrzejek was hoping to bring home his second GLSS win tonight at Crystal and he was able to pull it off!

The moment Jedrzejek hit the track, he dominated! By the end of the first lap, he had overtaken Max Stambaugh (Elida, OH), who had started in pole position. It was a remarkably clean race, with 23 caution-free laps. On the 22nd lap, Stambaugh was hot on Jedrzejek's tail and nearly passed him before the yellow flag came out. During the restart, Kasey maintained his lead for the final two laps. With the good fortune of drawing the second position in the redraw, Kasey skillfully navigated through lap traffic to clinch his second Michigan CAT Sprint Division win of the 2024 season!

Courtney takes command late to capture Kubota High Limit Diamond Classic Night One feature victory

WHEATLAND, MO. (June 28, 2024) - Tyler Courtney took the lead with five laps remaining Friday night and went on to capture Night One of the Kubota High Limit Racing Diamond Classic at Lucas Oil Speedway.

Courtney, of Indianapolis, roared from third and into the lead after a lap 24 restart and went on to earn $10,000 with his fourth Kubota High Limit Racing feature win of the season. He beat Brad Sweet at the finish with James McFadden capturing third.

The series returns for Saturday night's Diamond Classic finale with $25,000 awaiting the feature winner.

"The last time I ran here, I won in a Midget (in 2016) and it's pretty cool to come back in a winged car and have success," the ninth-starting Courtney said in victory lane. "That was fun, a lot of fun."

Courtney, driving for Clauson Marshall Racing, finished two seconds clear at the checkers as he pulled away from Brad Sweet and the rest after taking the lead on lap 25. He was the fourth and final leader of the 30-lapper.

"The track was quite a bit different than the heats, but I don't think you could ask for much more than that," Courtney said of the action-packed event. "There was racing everywhere. A hot day, but a great day."

Courtney picked up an additional $4,500 along with lucky fan Patrick Walker after the Durst Dice Roll, which was a nine - and Courtney won from ninth.

Sye Lynch won the drag race with fellow front-row starter Corey Day and grabbed the lead at the drop of the green, with Sweet settling into third. The top three were separated by only one second when the first caution flew on lap three.

Day grabbed the lead away from Lynch on the restart and used the cushion on the high side to open a 1.7-second lead in just four laps. He soon was dealing with lapped traffic and suddenly slowed to a crawl entering turn three on lap 10.

Day, who won two nights earlier at Lake Ozark Speedway, was unable to continue. Lynch re-inherited the lead with Sweet second and Courtney third. Lynch pulled away after the restart to lead by nearly two seconds by lap 15. Action ground to a half at that point as Brent Marks rolled his car in turn four, bringing out the red flag.

Sweet swept to the lead after the restart, coming on the outside of turn four to complete lap 17. Before he could get too far away from Lynch, a lap-20 caution flew as two cars spun in turn four.

Lynch was applying the heat to Sweet with Courtney right behind when a caution appeared on lap 23 for a one-car spin in turn four, leaving seven laps to settle things. Courtney took second away from Lynch on lap 24, then grabbed the top spot the next time around.

Courtney rolled from there, driving away for the victory over series points leader Sweet. McFadden, who started 13th, captured third with 14th-starting Tanner Thorson fourth and Lynch winding up fifth.

"Luckily I was third there and Sye got Brad to moving around," Courtney said. "I just stuck to my guns there and just ran the top as hard as I could and came away with the win."

Sweet said his car was not quite have the car dialed in enough to win.

"I'm happy to get locked into a little bit better spot for tomorrow," Sweet said. "That's important on this prelim nights to run top four. I felt I wasn't quite good enough to win, no matter which line I was trying to run or make work it seemed like someone was pushing me.

"Sye was getting back to my inside, so I committed to the inside. I just wasn't good enough. I had to slow the car down way too much to run the bottom, but running the top I would get spinning on the (turn) exit. Tyler was just clearly a little bit better than us tonight."

Marks of Myerstown, Pa., set the fast qualifying time with a lap of 13.039 seocnds. That came up just shy of the track record held by Garet Williamson, who ran a 12.998 in the POWRi 410 Bandit Sprint Series on Aug. 19, 2023.

Tyler Davis wins Heartland Modifieds: Tyler Davis of Haysville, Kan., took over the lead on lap 21 and held on to beat Tad Davis by half a second in the Heartland Modified Tour feature.

Tad Davis rolled to the lead at the start and opened a 1.1-second lead over Chad Wheeler by lap 10. The leaders hit heavy lapped traffic soon after with Wheeler pulling alongside Tad Davis a couple of times, but was unable to get by.

Tyler Davis joined the battle with Wheeler for second and he was able to take over with four laps to go. Gabe Hodges rallied late to grab third with Wheeler fourth and Kenton Allen coming home in fifth.

The winner said he felt the continuous green-flag run worked to his advantage. Tyler Davis started third, right behind Tad Davis and Wheeler.

"When we first took off, it was kind of humid out here tonight and it's easy to spin the tires," Tyler Davis said. "Once we got rolling, the maneuverability of our car showed. We've got some new stuff we were trying tonight and it was pretty good.

"I'm glad to get back to victory lane. We've been getting our butt kicked lately against the USMTS Tour. I'm just happy to be up here."

The Heartland Modified Tour will again be in action as support class for Saturday's Diamond Classic finale.

Lucius earns 2nd 410 Attica win; Moore dominates late model feature; Miller nabs 5th 305 win

Friday, June 28, 2024

By Brian Liskai

ATTICA, Ohio – Bryce Lucius just had to settle down and let the car come to him Friday, June 28 at Attica Raceway Park. The 17-year-old Findlay, Ohio driver battled with a couple of other racers early and withstood challenges late to score his second Attica win of the season on Smith Family Foods/Columbus Equipment/Etna Supply Night.

Jordan Ryan led the opening lap of the Callie’s Performance Products 410 Sprint A-main with pressure from Lucius and Zeth Sabo. Lucius took over the point on lap two but had Sabo racing to his inside lap after lap before Cale Thomas entered the picture and took second on lap seven. Thomas poked his nose under Lucius several times but could not get clear to take the lead. Lucius, the 2023 national 410 rookie of the year, worked lapped traffic like a seasoned veteran and drove to the win over Thomas, Sabo, Cap Henry and Greg Wilson.

“My dad, Swank (Tyler), Drew and my mom had me good. Luckily we were able to start on the pole. I’m glad Zeth (Sabo) didn’t take me out…I was out of control those first couple of laps. I had to get the wing back and everything. Me and Cale (Thomas) race each other pretty good…I knew I’d be good racing with him for the win,” said Lucius beside his X1 Race Cars, CML Transport, Kistler Engines, Big Red Truck Wash, STP Racing, Bobby Clark Racing, Shelluke’s Bar & Grill, Fremont Floor Covering, S&B Concrete & Excavating, Foster Auto Body, NAPA of Bryan, 87 Speed backed #32.

Mansfield, Ohio’s Kyle Moore seemed comfortable to cruise around the top five early in the 25-lap Whistle Stop Presents the Dirt Nerds Podcast Powered by Propane UMP Late Model feature. Mike Bores led the opening lap with JR Gentry taking over a lap later and pulled out to a substantial lead while Bores, Moore and Devin Shiels battled for second. When Gentry hit lapped traffic just past halfway, Moore shot to the high side of the track and closed, driving by Gentry on lap 16. Moore cruised to his second career Attica win over Gentry, Shiels, Bores and Colin Shipley.

“I wasn’t sure what the hell I was doing early in that race. I was like well I’m going to the top because this ain’t working. That track was hands down the best track I’ve ever been on. I have to thank my brother….man he’s been grinding from day one with me and Tye Tworg for giving me this hot rod. Hands down the best race car I’ve ever drove. My buddy Ben from Ankeny, Iowa. He helps us out a lot…crazy how we met but he helps a lot,” said Moore beside his Kepling Flooring, Tye Tworg Longhorn, Joyride Transportation, Smitley Towing, Short Stop, Malcuit Race Engines, Wilson Realty, Robin Jakubick, RL Bond Septic, Hepthorn Golf Cart Sales, House of Spud, K&B Septic Service, Coffman Composites, Team Midwest Paint, Platinum Design backed #1*.

Fremont, Ohio’s Jamie Miller is having a fantastic season. The four time and defending Attica 305 track champion led all 25 laps Friday to score fifth win of the year – the 44th of his career – at Attica Raceway Park. Coupled with his three wins at Fremont Speedway, Miller has eight total feature wins in 2024.

Following Miller to the checkers were Dustin Stroup, Brenden Torok, Jimmy McGrath and Steve Rando.

“Riehl Custom Fabrication Chassis are bad ass. If you aren’t in one you’re following one. This thing was good and I think I’m finally figuring out how to run the bottom,” said Miller beside his Boca Construction, JLH General Contractors, Kenny Kolb Farms, Tuck Pointing America, Queen of Clean, Smitty’s Pizza, Roberts & Sons Contracting, Pizza Wheel, Crown Battery, Reedtown Tavern, Fostoria Mod Shop, Sandy’s Dad, Gressman Powersports, Phil Rister, Slade Shock Technology backed #26.

Attica Raceway Park will be back in action Friday, July 5 with the All Pro Aluminum Cylinder Heads/Kistler Racing Products 410 Attica Fremont Championship Series Presented by the Baumann Auto Group, the UMP Late Models and the NAPA of Bryan 305 AFCS Presented by Jason Dietsch Trailer Sales in Action.

Spahr wins from 11th at Port Royal
06-24-2024

It was a performance reminiscent of a year ago for River Valley Builders PA Sprint Series defending points champion Logan Spahr of Lewisberry. Starting 11th in a strong field of IMCA/RaceSaver sprint cars, Spahr blasted through the field and took the lead from race-long frontrunner Doug Dodson of Middletown with two laps to go, crossing under the checkered flags in front by 2.179 seconds for his second win of 2024.

That’s not in the same league as the Wally Eshenaur-owned KR MacDonald Inc./High Tech Metals/R.L. Snyder Electric #5’s performance last year, when Spahr won seven of the year’s first 10 races (one in his family-owned #14), but it was the team’s second of the year and at the least a hint of better things to come, and it was especially welcome with PASS’s return to Port Royal this weekend for the season’s biggest race, the Keystone RaceSaver Challenge.

Despite the disappointment of not winning, it also was a boost for the veteran Dodson, who had scored top-ten finishes in six of seven starts this year but had no finish higher than fourth.

Performance and luck might go hand-in-hand there. Dodson is notoriously unlucky with redraws for feature starting position, and his draw for the outside front row Saturday was a pleasant shock. He took advantage of it, outgunning Kruz Kepner of Kreamer for the initial lead. Zach Rhodes of McVeytown then engaged Kepner in a prolonged battle for second and secured the position on lap eight. Meanwhile, Spahr was working his way through the field.

The feature’s only caution flew on lap 10, just as the leaders were entering lapped traffic, when John Walp of Wapwallopen slowed on the track and went to the pits. Following the restart, Spahr was able to get past both Kepner and Rhodes and set his sights on the leader.

When Spahr caught up to Dodson, the two waged a fierce, four-lap battle for the lead before the decisive pass.

Behind Spahr and Dodson at the checkered was Rhodes in third, Kepner in fourth, and Drew Young of Beaver Springs took fifth.

Ken Duke Jr., Jeff Paulson, Owen Dimm, Kenny Heffner, and rookie Kolby Weaver completed the top ten.

The passing behind the leaders was incredible, given that the track had already taken more than 100 green-flag laps by 410 sprints and late models. Duke earned the Penns Valley Meat Markets Hard Charger Award for coming from 17th starting position to 6th at the finish. Kasey Weaver also advanced 11 spots, from 24th to 13th, and Kenny Heffner matched Spahr’s 10-position gain, charging from 19th to 9th. Virginian Jerald Harris and Laurel Highlands Sprint Series regular Josh Beamer each moved up eight spots, and Austin Reed and Owen Dimm each advanced six.

Heat races for the 42 IMCA/RaceSaver sprinters on hand went to Rhodes, Kolby Weaver, Dodson, and Erin Statler, with “Nitro” Nick Sweigart besting the 19-car B-Main.

Tim Iulg, one of several New Jersey and Eastern Pennsylvania drivers who hauled to Port Royal after New Egypt Speedway cancelled its Mid Atlantic Sprint Series racing due to heat concerns, took a wild ride after tangling with another car in turn one of the second heat’s first lap. He was done for the night.

Buddy Schweibinz, another of the New Jersey invaders and the two-time defending Mid-American Champion, was running second in the B-Main when he slowed and went pitside with two laps to go.

This week’s River Valley Builders PA Sprint Series action is special, with the season’s only visit to Big Diamond Speedway on Friday, and then the Keystone RaceSaver Challenge at Port Royal Saturday. This race features the season’s largest overall purse – still faithful to the commitment to having 24th place pay half of what first place pays – and lap and contingency sponsors are still being sought.

LOGAN MITCHELL SCORES FOURTH WMR WIN OF 2024 WITH VENTURA RACEWAY TRIUMPH

VENTURA, CALIFORNIA (June 23, 2024) – Logan Mitchell of Santa Cruz steered his No. 96x Western Midget Racing entry to his fourth win of the season against one of the strongest fields of the year on a foggy Saturday night at Ventura Raceway. Mitchell’s win boosts his championship lead to an eight point advantage over 2023 champion Bryant Bell of Oakley with the series’ biggest weekend looming large for the Howard Kaeding Classic in July.

Lodi’s Nate Wait and Sacramento’s Isaiah Vasquez split the eight-lap heat races. Mitchell and season-opening Ventura winner Anthony Bruno of San Jose shared the front row for the 20-lap feature. The field of 14 Midgets served as a the main event of the night at the dirt track along the Pacific Ocean.

After a quick caution at the start of the race, trouble struck for Bruno from second on the following restart. Bruno stumbled on the restart with his teammate Bell and Wait spinning in the ensuing melee in turn four. Bell was relegated to restarting from the rear of the field because of the incident.

Mitchell paced the field the rest of the way with Micro Sprint standout Teddy Bivert of Idaho making a strong debut in second. Bell was the hardest charger of the evening, putting on a valiant effort to drive back into third. Vasquez and Las Vegas’ Kyle Hawse rounded out the top-five finishers.

Western Midget Racing heads to Ocean Speedway in Watsonville on July 12 and 13 for one of its signature events with the two-day Howard Kaeding Classic. They will be the support division for the NARC 410 Sprint Car Series.

CALEB DEBEM EARNS SECOND CONSECUTIVE OCEAN SPRINTS FEATURE IN WATSONVILLE

WATSONVILLE, CALIFORNIA (June 21, 2024) – Ocean Sprints presented by Taco Bravo points leader Caleb Debem of Salinas scored his second consecutive series win during Friday night’s action at Ocean Speedway in Watsonville. Debem won the 25-lap feature for the Winged 360 Sprint Cars and was joined by Rob Gallaher, Terre Rothweiler, and Thomas Cumming as race winners at the Santa Cruz County Fairgrounds dirt track.

Jake Haulot of Cotati led the Ocean Sprints time trials before Gilroy’s Kurt Nelson and Brentwood’s Adrianna DeMartini snared the heat races.

Haulot and Debem shared the front row for the feature. Debem worked his way to the inside of Haulot in turn three on the opening lap to take the lead. Vince Giannotta of Hollister spun in turn two for the first caution on lap four.

Nelson seized second from Haulot on the restart. Orval Burke of Salinas suffered a major flip in turn two while running sixth, drawing a red flag on lap nine. Burke was uninjured.

Debem charged to a comfortable advantage of 1.4 seconds over Nelson, nullified when Salinas’ Jason Chisum went around on lap 18 in turn two. Back-to-back cautions on lap 22 saw Haulot and Nelson trade blows for second but Nelson used the second attempt to successfully defend the position.

Caleb Debem cruised over the final three laps to top Nelson, Haulot, Bradley Dillard of Oakdale, and DeMartini at the checkered flag.

A solid field of Hobby Stocks endured a full moon marathon of a 20-lap feature. Outside pole sitter Rob Gallaher of San Jose led all 20-laps and held court through half a dozen restarts.

The race’s largest incident came on lap two when drivers attempted to go three-wide for the fourth position. The ensuing crash ended the race for Watsonville’s Sam Kennedy.

The last of the six cautions fell on lap 15. Gallaher motored ahead for the win. San Jose’s Matt Kile, who had pitted after an opening lap crash, came back strong to finish second. Adriane Frost of Watsonville finished third followed by Bobby Gallaher and 2023 champion Joe Gallaher.

Santa Cruz’ Terre Rothweiler dominated the 20-lap South Bay Dwarf Car feature, accumulating a half track advantage at the checkered flag. San Jose’s Mark Biscardi showed his nose inside of Rothweiler heading into turn one on lap two to no avail. Biscardi’s move ended up being Rothweiler’s closest challenge of the race.

Concord’s Travis Day finished second followed by Biscardi, Dan Zuger of San Jose, and Justin Bingman of Castroville.

Four Bangers enjoyed the opportunity to be the nightcap featured event with their 16 vehicle field, made up of 14 cars and two trucks. The 20-lap feature opened with a crash on the backstretch involving Shelbie Freeman of Prunedale and Riley Killian of Prunedale. Freeman was unable to continue.

Polesitter Thomas Cumming of San Jose led the way before the next caution when Johnny “Cash” Hubbird and Killian tangled on the front stretch. Amaya Flower of Watsonville collided with Tony Gullo of Watsonville while trying to avoid the crash, ending her race.

Kenny Stragalinos of Boulder Creek put on a hard charge, winning a long battle with Gullo for second and then turning his attention to Cumming. Cumming held on by a few car lengths for the win, followed by Stragalinos, Gullo, Watsonville’s Lilly Mead, and Peter Vannerus of Felton.

Ocean Speedway returns on Friday night June 28 with Ocean Sprints presented by Taco Bravo, IMCA Sport Modifieds, Hobby Stocks, and Four Bangers!

SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST: Reese Nowotarski Survives a Marathon for First URC Win at BAPS

As teams rolled into the Baps Motor Speedway for the first time since April 27th they were greeted with blazing sunshine and high humidity. As hot laps grew closer so did the clouds. A pop up storm dumped for about 15 minutes nearly took all the air out of the crews and teams that's been clamoring to be back racing since April. But a fantastic effort by the entire track crew at Baps to bring the track back around for a great surface. While it felt like a marathon feature. One driver stood tall as Leesport,PA Reese Nowotarski became the 290th different winner in the 76 year history of the United Racing Club. Feature action got underway with Brett Wanner and Tylor Rutherford on the front row. The green wouldn't stay out long as Wanner would spin in turns 3 and 4 bringing out the first yellow. That would move Nowotarski to the front row alongside Rutherford. On the start it was Nowotarski taking the lead but the yellow would immediately return as Cole Knopp would spin in turn 2 and make hard contact with the wall bringing an end to his night. We would finally complete a lap on the next restart as Nowotarski would take the advantage over Rutherford. The green wouldn't stay out long as Fred Kennedy would spin out in turn 3 and bring the yellow back out. Green would return with Nowotarski taking the advantage. But the yellow laundry would fly again on lap 7 with Jon Brennfleck spinning and hard contact with the wall in turn 4 bringing an end to his evening. That would trigger an open red. After the open red it would be single file restarts. On the restart Kyle Smith would try to attempt to pass Rutherford on the inside of the cone. Under URC rules he would be penalized next stoppage of the race. It wouldn't take long as Rutherford would find himself jumping the cushion and flipping in turns 1 and 2 on lap 9. He would be ok. Smith would be docked 2 spots. Next yellow would come out as Kennedy would spin again. He would park it for the night. Finally got some laps together with Nowotarski running away and getting into lap traffic and mastering it beautifully. Behind him Smith and JT Ferry would have a great battle for the 2nd spot with Ken Meisner finding his way into this battle. But then the caution would come out once again with Jake Gallowy spinning in turn 3 on lap 18. The cautions would not be done as Robbie Stillwaggon would spin on lap 23 setting up a green white checkered finish. Nowotarski would get the jump with Ferry and Smith in tow. Smith would seem to lose his breaks and get passed for 3rd by Meisner, But it was all Nowotarski as he would dominate the feature leading all 25 laps for his first career 360 sprint car win. “Its awesome to to get the first sprint car win off the bucket list.”Nowotarski said after the race. “ I have plenty of 410 starts here so i've felt really comfortable coming here. I knew we would be good out of the box and having Ryan Smith and crew doing an amazing job the last month or so we really been clicking.” Josh Weller got the York Excavating hard charger coming from 16th to 4th and Derek Locke would round out the top 5. Next URC race will be Wednesday July 3rd at the Port Royal Speedway apart of Pennsylvania Speedweek.

Day Wins Dirt Cup 2024

6/22/24

By Kaleb Hart

Alger, WA - Corey Day wrote his name into Skagit Speedway history with a win at the 52nd Annual Jim Raper Memorial Dirt Cup. Day became part of the first father/son duo to win Dirt Cup, with his father Ronnie winning in 2000. The win paid Day a total of $79,600 in finish position and laps led money.

Zeb Wise led the opening 11 laps before Day marched into the top spot, using the high groove to whip around Wise for the lead on lap 12. Corey quickly put distance between himself and the field, with Wise falling into a furious battle with Cole Macedo and Jason Solwold for the runner up spot. The group fought for a few laps while Corey built his advantage, with Wise eventually re-securing second. By then, it was far too late as Day had enough track space and slower traffic between the two to drive comfortably to the win. Wise would claim runner up for the second straight year, with Macedo picking up third. Wise was the winner of the pole shuffle. Hunter Schuerenberg won the B Main and Levi Kuntz won the C. Four heat races were run to determine the back half of the pole shuffle starters. Those heat wins went to Jason Solwold, Justyn Cox, Cole Macedo and Colby Copeland.

The dual between Jared Peterson and Shane Smith at the front of the field in the NW Focus Midget series A Main lived up to the billing at the end. Peterson got the jump and set the pace, but as he rolled into traffic, Smith rolled right up to his rear bumper and spent the back half of the main bird dogging him all around the track. Peterson was up to the task, never leaving a large enough gap for Smith to drive under or around him to take the win. Smith was second and Alex Peck was third.

Willison Captures First MSR Sprint Win At Owosso; Henes Rules Midwest Lights

OVID, Mich. (June 22, 2024) – Canadian Aaron Willison dominated to capture his first Must See Racing Perfit Sprint Car Series victory Saturday night at Owosso Speedway.

Willison, a multi-time asphalt sprint car champion from Langley, British Columbia, raced from fifth to first in eight laps at the three-eighths-mile oval and then led the rest of the way in the No. 50m RAM Engineering Midwest sprinter for legendary car owner Dick Myers.

Despite three caution flags during the 40-lap main event, Willison still drove to a mammoth 10.762-second margin of victory over runner-up Joe Liguori, putting together one of the most impressive Must See Racing performances in recent memory.

“Dick and the whole RAM Engineering crew brought an absolutely outstanding race car to the track this weekend,” said Willison in victory lane. “For an old pail, she rolls hard and I’m honored to be driving it. I’ve had a lot of great opportunities lately to contend for wins, and to come out here and get my first Must See Racing win is a great feeling.”

Willison’s winning move came courtesy of an outside sweep in turn one, when he drove around early leader and reigning series champion Jason Blonde in commanding fashion.

“In the warm-up laps before the feature, I got up [in the high lane] and felt around a bit, so from that point I knew we had a stellar piece and the field might be in trouble,” he added with a big grin. “I had that move in my back pocket from the drop of the green and we made it pay off there.”

Behind Willison and Liguori, reigning Must See Racing rookie-of-the-year Kevin Mingus crossed the finish line in third place, earning a career-best finish for his family-owned No. Z10 team and putting himself into the conversation of contenders going forward.

Michigan’s Dorman Snyder was fourth and 2022 series champion Charlie Schultz, who started from the pole but had to rally back from a lap-20 spin in turn four, completed the top five.

Rick Holley, John Inman, Tommy Nichols, Teddy Alberts, and reigning series champion Jason Blonde were the balance of the top-10 finishers.

Blonde was in position to finish third Saturday night, but fell out of contention with a broken water line coming to two laps to go in the main event.

Schultz’s spin at the halfway point caused the only yellow flag during the 410 sprint car feature.

By virtue of his runner-up finish, Liguori assumed the unofficial point lead in the battle for the season championship.
