Hello folks and welcome back to a special My thoughts on a racing MONTH
gone by. Sorry for the lack of articles or updates on the site the past
few weeks but work has been brutal the past few weeks. Working a lot of
OT and 6 nights a week so not a lot of time to write or even go to the
races for that matter. Unfortunately I have had to miss quite a bit, and
I'm not real happy about it. Missed a few history making things in our
area, but we will cover all of that in a bit.
First up this week I wanted to drop a big special announcement. Last
year we here at Central PA Racing Scene did a series of special fan
voting to see who the fans thought where the best 410,358,360 and 305
drivers in Central PA. We also saw fans vote on rookie of the year and
their favorite event, and even the best track in Central PA. Well this
year we are proud to say we are bring this back again starting in a few
weeks, but to make it even bigger we will be giving out awards to the to
the best 410 and 358 drivers in Central PA, as well as what the fans
think is the best track in Central PA. The fans will be able to cast
their votes on those 3 awards which will be presented to the winners,
but also vote on a slew of other categories like top 305 driver, top 360
driver, the top rookies in 358 and 410 division. Which event the fans
think was the best of 2015. The voting for best 410,358 and track will
see the fans cast their vote and then a panel of us here at Central PA
Racing Scene will have a debate as to who we think should win the award.
So be on the lookout for voting to start the week after the National
Open at Williams Grove Speedway.
Don't forget race fans this Thursday night Slingin Dirt presented by Slicks & Sticks will be back on the air with another awesome show. You can check it out at Slicks & Sticks every Thursday night at 8 pm.
Now lets get to everything that has happened the past month since the last time we shot the bull folks....
Its been an up and down month for fans here in Central PA. Sadly we lost
one of our drivers 3 weeks ago as Jim Campbell lost his life in a
tragic accident during warmups at Williams Grove Speedway. I was so
proud of the fans here in Central PA as with the help of Kyle Pruitt and
Kristina Chambers they where able to collect over $19,000 at Williams
Grove Speedway. I'm not going to lie folks, I was worried that some
people just didn't seem to care because Jim was not a driver most people
had ever invested in, heck it took me a few minutes to remember who he
was, and up until Tuesday morning when I started talking about it on
social media, I had not seen anything being posted about trying to raise
something for Jim's family. But I'll be damned if the fans here in
Central PA didn't come through in spades. Just goes to show, it doesn't
matter who the driver is,a big name national driver, or part time "I
race for the fun of it" hobby driver, fans care.
I have been pushing the youth movement here in Central PA since I
re-launched this website in 2013. Well the past month has shown us what I
have been saying was true. Look at the 4 young drivers who have won 410
races in the past month or so. Logan Wagner got it started up at Port
Royal and since then Chase Dietz has won his 1st career 410 feature at
Lincoln, Austin Hogue won his 1st career 410 feature at Williams Grove
on Friday night, and then last night at Lincoln Speedway Brandon Rahmer
finally found victory lane after coming close twice this season. Wagner
was the fans vote for the 2014 410 rookie of the year here at Central PA
Racing Scene picked up his 2nd career 410 victory. Logan who had won
numerous 305 races at Port and other race tracks, and even has a 358
victory at Path Valley was finally able to stand on the big stage at
Port where his father has stood for years. Dietz the 2014 358 champion
at Lincoln Speedway jumped into the Scott Gobrecht 44 410 in 2015 and
has admittedly struggled at times. Chase who only had 1 top 5 before his
big win looked great taking the lead from another young driver Jordan
Mackison and holding off 3 of the best drivers at Lincoln to pick up his
first career 410 win. Austin Houge started off this weekend of the
youngster with a big win at Williams Grove showing that the 2nd year 410
driver and former 358 champion could race with the big boys and not get
rattled passing Cory Haas on the last lap to take the popular win.
Saturday night Brandon Rahmer would share the front row with his twin
brother Freddie and like most people I thought Freddie would be the
first brother to sit in victory lane. Like Gomer Pyle would say...
SURPRISE SURPRISE SURPRISE. Brandon would hold off Montieth to score the
upset win to cap off a great month for the youth movement here in
Central pa.
But that's not to say the veterans have not had anything to say around
these parts. Greg Hodnett has visited victory lane three times at three
different race tracks, Danny Dietrich scored big victories at Lincoln
and Williams Grove, and Blane Heimbach finally got back on track after
taking a few weeks off to re group and found victory lane at Port Royal.
With their wins Greg and Danny now have won 29 features in Central PA,
30 total with Greg's win in Florida back in February. The rest of Central
PA have 43 wins total. That's called domination folks.
Can't move on from the 410's until I mention Rico Abreu who came east
two weeks ago and looked great in not only his midget winning 2 features
but also his 410. Rico would score 3 top 5's in 4 races. Dude can flat
out drive a race car, and the fans absolutely love the guy. Don't think I
have ever seen 1 driver have so many selfies taken with him as Rico did
that weekend. And lastly looked like the fans had a blast this past
Wednesday night at Lincoln Speedway watching all of our heroes of our
childhood strap back into a race car. This will be the 1 race I missed
in 2015 that I will never get over not seeing. Sounded like a SRO crowed
who saw some great racing with the legends. Todd Shaffer would win the
special feature over Kenny Adams.
Before we look back at the 358's the past month need to give a shout out
to TJ Stutts who not only won his 4th 360 feature event in a row at
Selinsgrove Speedway Saturday night, he also claimed the track
championship. Congrats from everyone here at Central PA Racing Scene.
The 358 division has been as hot as the 410 division the past month with
6 different drivers visiting victory lane. Doug Hammaker has kept his
breakout dream season going by winning his 5th feature event of the
season at his 3rd different race track with his win at Susquehanna
Speedway. Brad McClelland picked up his 7th win of the season and 6th at
Trail Way Speedway which moved him into a tie with Chad Layton for 2nd
all time in the 358 division. Bill Stine picked up his first career 358
feature win at Lincoln Speedway last Saturday night, while Phil Walter
would come back on Wednesday and win his 1st feature event of 2015 at
Lincoln. This past weekend Adrian Shaffer would win his 3rd feature
event of the season with another last lap pass for the win. Down at
Trail Way Speedway Cody Fletcher would continue to show why he is the
most improved driver in 358 division after picking up his 2nd feature
win of the season. 20 different drivers have visited victory lane in the
358 division in 2015 with 6 of them for the 1st time. Even better 3 of
those drivers where able to win multiple times (Halligan 3, Fletcher 2,
Lehman 2), and the other three wins where by 358 rookies (Young,
Holbrook and Stine). So much for that dying division as a 410 driver told
me last year.
Want to wish Kody Lehman a speedy recovery as he has two fractures in
his spine suffered at Lincoln Speedway as few weeks back. Kody who was a
rookie last year in the 358 division had wins at Williams Grove and
Lincoln Speedway in 2015. Hope you have a speedy recovery and we see you
back in a race car in 2016. Now when can we get that wing changed on
the t shirt Lehamn?
Well that's it for this week folks. Look for a big picture drop this
week on the site as I have pictures from the 410/358 race 2 weeks ago as
well as pictures from Tony DeSeta to share with you all. I'll also be
posting the new Central PA Power Rankings for the 410 and 358 division.
Next weekend is Labor Day weekend, a time for all of us hard working
folks to kick back, drink our favorite beer of choice and watch us some
great dirt racing 3 nights in a row. Friday night at Williams Grove
Speedway they will have the Jack Gunn Memorial Down Under 410 Sprints
& PASS 305 Sprints. Anyone wishing to try and explain how they are
going to figure out the lineup please share it with me, because I didn't
take calc in high school. Trail Way Speedway will host their 2nd to
last 358 feature event of the season. The race will be race number 1 for
the Trail Way/Lincoln Speedway shootout and will be the 358 teams last
chance to get ready for the $2,000 to win Trone Outdoor Championship on
September 11th. Saturday night at Lincoln Speedway they are hosting a
winged triple header as the 410's and 358's will be joined by the Super
Sportsman. At Port Royal Speedway will kick off the 161st Juniata County
Fair with the 410's and the 12th annual Butch Renninger UFO Late Models
Memorial. Sunday night Williams Grove Speedway will be back in action
with the Billy Kimmel Memorial for 410 Sprints & 358 Sprints Nouse
Signs & Graphics Summer Series Finale. Selinsgrove Speedway will
host the World of Outlaw late models for a special $10,000 win show.
I'm hoping to see everyone Friday night at Trail Way Speedway (if work
allows me to), Saturday night at Lincoln Speedway, and Sunday night at
Williams Grove, but like always folks hope your work week stays cool and
goes fast, your beverage of choice stays ice cold, and your racing no
matter where you go this coming weekend, is red hot. Until then have a
safe week folks I will see you all Friday night.

BRANDON RAHMER HOLDS OFF MONTIETH TO SCORE FIRST CAREER WIN AT LINCOLN
ABBOTTSTOWN, PA, 8/29/2015
–Another historic night at Lincoln Speedway saw the next generation of
Rahmers pull into victory lane, as Brandon Rahmer held off the late-race
challenges of Lincoln points leader Brian Montieth to score his first
career “410” sprint car win.
“I was trying to run my ass off to keep away from them,” said Rahmer when asked whether he knew if Montieth and 12th-starting
Danny Dietrich were running second and third behind him, “I kept my
speed up top. I didn’t know if Brian had enough to slide up in front of
me going into three. That’s how Danny (Dietrich) got me the other two
times I was in the front here. But I finally got to stand up here.”
“I was lucky enough to draw a good pill and start up front for the feature and it finally paid off,” added Rahmer.
Handicapping
placed the Rahmer brothers on the outside of the front two rows for the
feature. Polesitter Steve Owings took the lead at the outset and led
the first two laps, with Freddie dropping back to fifth at outset and
Robbie Kendall and Tim Glatfelter moving into third and fourth.
Brandon
caught Owings for the lead on lap three and led the rest of the way,
with plenty of action in behind. Freddie recovered to advance to second
after catching Owings on lap eight.
As the Rahmer brothers led, tenth-starting Brian Montieth and leading Lincoln feature winner and 12th-starting Danny Dietrich were methodically working their way through the field.
Montieth caught Grasso for third on lap 12 and chased down Freddie by the 17th
lap. He and Freddie made contact exiting turn four of that lap,
pitching Freddie into the outside guardrail on the front stretch and
ending Freddie’s night. Also caught up in the crash was fourth-place
Grasso and Randy Bachman.
Montieth
never stopped and assumed second for the restart, with Owings third and
Dietrich fourth. One lap later, Dietrich disposed of Owings and made it
a three-car race to the checkered.
Though
he pulled alongside several times, Montieth was never able to get by
the Miller Brothers Chevrolet/Wege Pretzels/ARAN Trading #88. Rahmer’s
final margin of victory was .53 seconds, with Dietrich a close third, Owings fourth, and Friday night Williams Grove winner Austin Hogue fifth.
Rounding out the top ten were 20th-starting Gerard McIntyre, Jr., Kendall, Cory Haas, 19th-starting Alan Krimes, and 22nd-starting Jimmy Siegel.
Heats for the 26 410’s were won by Montieth, Kyle Moody, and Kendall, with Krimes winning the consolation.
Mt.
Union’s Ralph Morgan scored his eighth win of the year in the “358”
late model feature event, crossing a convincing 3.53 seconds ahead of
Shaun Jones. It was the first career Lincoln win for Morgan, who has
already won five races at Hesston and a race each at Hagerstown and Path
Valley this year.
Gene Knaub was third, with Eric Irvin and Cam Zeigler completing the top five.
The event was marred by a 14-car pile-up which blocked the track in turn three of the first lap.
Heats for the 26 358 Late Models were won by Morgan, Brad Shank, and Shaun Jones, with Dan Zechman winning the consolation.
Kory
Sites claimed his first win in five years in the 20-lap street stock
feature. Sites, who came out of retirement by running a few events last
year, started on the front row and followed polesitter Jason Townsend
for the first three laps. He wrestled the lead on lap four and held off
Mike Potts over the final 15 laps.
Third through fifth were Doug Bennett, Bob Scott , Jr., and Michelle Walls.
Heats for the 26 Street Stocks were won by Townsend, Sites, and Bennett.
Next Saturday night, September 5th at 7 PM, Lincoln will host the J.L. Howard Memorial
featuring the final point race of the season for the Lawrence Chevrolet
410 Sprints. In addition, the 358 Sprints will be competing in another
Trail-Way/Lincoln “Shootout” weekend event. Rounding out the evening
will be the Super Sportsman and FIREWORKS. Gates will open at 5 PM with
racing action getting underway at 7 PM.

Hodnett, Smith Jr. and Trout Score Port Royal Aug. 29 Mains
FOR IMMEDIATE
RELEASE
8/29/15
Port Royal Greg Hodnett won his sixth
sprint car feature of the season on Saturday night at Port Royal Speedway, using
a locked-down racecar to blast through the field for the $3,200 victory, the
42nd of his career at the oval.
Tim Smith Jr. of Long Hollow
drove to his second win of the year in the super late model main, driving by
Matt Parks for the win.
And in the super sportsman
main, Chad Trout won his first ever division feature at the track.
Hodnett started seventh in
the 25-lap sprint car main while Brock Zearfoss took the green flag and lead
from the pole.
Zearfoss would set the early
pacer over Rick Lafferty before Lance Dewease motored by for second on the sixth
tour.
Hodnett got by Lafferty for
third a lap later and was stalking the top two when the leaders entered the
backmarkers on the ninth lap.
Dewease fell victim to
Hodnett for second with 15 laps to go before the yellow flag came out for a
Wayne Dadetto spin a lap later.
Hodnett just simply drove
right by Zearfoss on the restart to begin his run to the checkers.
Another yellow, this time
for a spinning Blane Heimbach on the 14th lap, was the only thing
that hindered Hodnett during the run to the finish.
Dewease stayed close only
for a lap after the race restarted before Hodnett pulled out to a 3.899 second
win.
Eighth starter Lucas Wolfe
drove up to third at the finish followed by Dylan Cisney and Davey Sammons.
Sixth through 10 th went to
Zearfoss, Mike Wagner, Lafferty, 21st starter Mike Erdley and Ryan
Taylor.
Heats went to Wolfe, Mike
Wagner and Hodnett.
The start of the 22-lap late
model main saw Scott Flickinger and Devin Friese connect in the third turn,
producing a complete restart.
Flickingers crash moved
Matt Parks to the pole for the new green and Parks took the lead when action
started.
Tim Wilson trailed Parks
with Tim Smith Jr. third on the first laps before Smith took second on the
second lap.
Parks was using the low side
of the speedway with the lead while Smith used the middle and top and it was
that lane that he used to drive by Parks for control on the fifth circuit.
Point leader Mike Lupfer,
who started seventh, made big advances during the early going to take third on
the sixth tour and then second a lap later.
But once in second he
couldnt muster a challenge for the win, instead finishing .695 seconds back as
the pair worked traffic during the final half of the race.
Wilson was third followed by
Parks and Trent Brenneman.
Sixth through
10th went to Mitch Hack, Jeff Miller, Steve Stitt, Nick Dickson and
Travis Dillman.
Heats went to Lupfer and
Brenneman.
Bobby Hockenberry led the
first four laps of the 20-lap super sportsman main before sixth starter Kevin
Nouse blasted into control.
Nouse was pulling away on
the seventh lap when he suddenly slowed and gave up the race.
Fourth starter Chad Trout
was racing second for the restart with Hockenberry again at the point.
After the yellow flag for
Nouses stopped car, Trout zipped into the lead when action resumed to speed to
the victory of nearly a half lap advantage, some 6.685 seconds ahead.
Gregg Foster was third
followed by Scott Dellinger and Russ Mitten.
Sixth through
10th went to Frankie Herr, Tony Jackson, Rich Eichelberger, Mike
Enders and Jay Fannasy.
Heats went to Ken Edkin and
Rich Eichelberger.

Hogue And Shaffer Use Last Lap Passes For Williams Grove Sprint Wins
8/28/15
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Mechanicsburg –
A pair of last lap passes netted sprint car wins at Williams Grove Speedway
on Friday night for drivers Austin Hogue and Adrian Shaffer.
For Hogue, the victory was a career first at the historic
oval in the 410 sprint division while Shaffer notched his second win of the
season in the 358 sprint class.
Hogue started second in the 25-lap 410 sprint car feature
and led from the beginning with Cory Haas moving into second on the second
tour.
The race was slowed moments later for a three-car
entanglement in the fourth corner involving Pat Cannon, Jordan Givler and
Troy Fraker.
The final 23 laps of the event went non stop with Haas
chasing Hogue throughout until the leader by his own admission got sucked
into the first turn cushion with nine laps to go, forcing him to swing wide
into the corners and also allowing Haas to drive by for the win.
The West York driver had been staying close enough to
Hogue to easily capitalize on the miscue however Hogue was not done in his
quest for a first career victory.
After a lap or two that allowed him to get his wheels back
underneath, Hogue tracked Haas down to also be within striking distance and
another miscue on the cushion, this time by Haas as he ran up on Cannon to
put him a lap down, set up a wild finish .
When Cannon bobbled on the fourth
turn cushion, it forced Haas to backpedal and that allowed Hogue to drop
down and run underneath Haas back to the white flag, with Haas scoring the
lap by just half of his car’s length with Hogue directly beside him.
And as the pair raced into the first corner, Haas broke
low for a sweep thru the turns while Hogue went to the cushion for a sweep
and that move netted him control as the pair raced onto the backchute.
Haas was close enough as the pair entered the third turn
to pull a big old slide job in an attempt to again get the lead and win but
Hogue anticipated the move perfectly to already be turning his car off of
the cushion before Haas even completed his glide up across the track.
And with that turn of the car set up perfectly while Haas
was sliding sideways, Hogue drove forward to again take the lead back from
Haas off of the fourth corner to pick up the exciting win by .410 seconds.
Sixth starter Steve Buckwalter rode
home a stout third followed by 10th starter Greg Hodnett and
Danny Dietrich.
Sixth through 10th went to
Brian Montieth, Brent Marks, Brock Zearfoss, Frankie Herr and Lance Dewease.
Heats went to Haas, Jay Reichard and Montieth.
Cody Fairchok would lead 16 laps of the 20-lap 358 sprint
main before ninth starter Kevin Nouse took over on a restart after getting
by a well-running Adrian Shaffer for second on the ninth tour.
Nouse seemed to be in good shape when
a final of three yellow flags appeared with just two laps to go.
Nouse pulled away from Shaffer on the restart and again
seemed headed for his first win of the year and then suddenly as he raced
toward the white flag his whole night changed thanks to a flipped up front
wing.
With his front wing flipped upside down on the hood of the
car, unsettling his momentum as he shot down the frontstretch, Shaffer used
a full head of steam to blast around Nouse in the first corner to steal the
win away on the final circuit.
Nouse limped home second followed by
11th starter Chase Dietz, Matt Campbell and Fairchok.
Sixth through 10th went to
Chandler Leiby, Doug Hammaker, Rich Eichelberger, Matt Findley and Nyle
Berkes.
Heats went to Todd Reed, Kyle Denmyer and Fairchok.

FLETCHER CLAIMS SECOND CAREER WIN IN TRAIL-WAY 358 SPRINT FEATURE; HAYDEN MILLER TAKES TW FIRST IN 600CC MICROS; BRIAN WALLS RETURNS TO TRAIL-WAY AND WINS STREET STOCK CHAMPIONSHIP; STEVE CLEMO CLASSIC CAR WINNER
HANOVER, PA
(8/28/2015) – Two night after his grandfather was recognized at Lincoln
Speedway as one of the great mechanics of all-time, Cody Fletcher claimed his
second career win in the 25-lap “358” sprint car feature at Trail-Way Speedway.
And unlike Fletcher’s first career win earlier in the year, Cody’s
parents were present to see it. Also on
hand was grandpa Harry Fletcher.
“This feels good! I’m glad my
parents were here tonight,” said Fletcher upon exiting his Fletcher Farms/Rocco’s
Pizza & Subs #66A in victory lane, “Dad has been keeping this thing fast
and straight. I knew Zeek (Sneeringer)
was back there. I just had to not goof
up.”
Fletcher started beside Sneeringer on the front row and outran the
Trail-Way points leader into the first turn.
From there, he led the rest of the way, despite one close call when he
made contact with the lapped car of Bob Anderson exiting turn two of lap
12. A quarter of-a-lap later, Anderson went out of
control and rolled into the wall and catch fence on turn three.
“Sorry if I got into Bob,” said Fletcher, “I’ll go talk to him after
this.”
Sneeringer ran second the entire way, with hard charger Brad McClelland
coming from tenth to finish third, Dwight Leppo coming back from engine
problems in his heat to cross fourth, and Chris Frank fifth.
Qualifiers for the ten sprint cars were won by McClelland and
Sneeringer.
Hayden Miller ended a two-year win drought and raced to his first career
Trail-Way win in the 20-lap 600cc
micro-sprint feature. Like Fletcher in
the sprint cars, Miller started on the outside of the front row and led every
lap.
Brad Weber came from sixth starting spot to cross second after catching
polesitter Hannah Riser on a lap 12 restart.
Riser settled for third, with 12th starting Travis Scott
finishing fourth, and Tyler Walton completing the top five.
Heats for the 15 micros were won by Walton and Weber.
Brian Walls made his first Trail-Way start of the year and scored the
win in the 25-lap championship event for street stocks.
Walls started sixth, but a first-lap crash took out points leader Dan
Furman, last race winner Michael Goodwin, and Joe Brown. A restart lineup found Walls in fourth, and
he had the lead by the end of the first lap.
His final margin of victory was 2.34 seconds over Matt Wampler, with
Jeremy Stremmel, Jim Jacobs, and Zach Myers rounding out the top five.
Although he has several wins in the former thundercar division, it was
Walls’ first Trail-Way win in the current street stock division.
Heats for the 14 street stocks were won by Wampler and Goodwin.
Polesitter Steve Clemo started on the pole and held off the repeated
challenges of fourth-starting Jim Crocker over the final 16 laps to win the
20-lap feature for Classic Cars. It was
Clemo’s first win of the year and second career win at Trail-Way.
Neal Reamer, Steve Cantwell, and Kurt Welsh crossed third through fifth.
Heats for the 12 Classic Cars were won by Clemo and Reamer.
Tomorrow night, Saturday August 29th, Trail-Way hosts the
annual “Junk Car Demolition.” Also on the schedule will be Figure 8, Powder
Puff and Limited Stocks in a championship race! Gates open at 4:00 p.m. with
heats scheduled to begin at 6:00 p.m.
The following Friday, September 4th, Trail-Way swings back
into action with the 358 Sprints in the first leg of the annual
“Trail-Way/Lincoln Shootout.” Also scheduled will be the Limited Stocks,
Central PA Legends and the Street Stocks. Gates open at 5:30 p.m. with heats
beginning at 7:45 p.m.

GREG HODNETT & DUANE HOWARD SHARE JERSEY RUSH V VICTORIES
.IN DOUBLE HEADER THRILLER TUESDAY NIGHT AT NEW EGYPT, NAPA AUTO
PARTS & PIONEER POLE BUILDING SPONSOR BIG NIGHT OF RACING. . . .
New Egypt, NJ August 25, 2015 . . . . . The fifth running of the JERSEY RUSH, on Tuesday night, at the New Egypt Speedway was nothing short of spectacular with Greg Hodnett winning a thriller over JJ Grasso and Duane Howard beating out Billy Pauch Jr. to win the modified feature. Hodnett of Thomasville, PA led all thirty laps of the 410 sprint feature but was pressured throughout the second half of the race, with Grasso in the hunt. Hodnett earned $5,000 for the victory, his first ever 410 sprint car win at New Egypt. The thirty lap modified feature saw Jimmy Horton lead at the outset, with Billy Pauch holding the top spot until Duane Howard took the lead on lap nine. Pauch Jr. moved on top on lap seventeen with Howard leading the final two lap to earn the $3,000 first place prize.
In the 410 Sprint Car feature event, Hodnett launched from the top starting spot with Robbie Stillwaggon right on his tail and Davey Sammonsmoving
into the third position. Kunkletown, PA’s Ryan Smith -- while in the
seventh position --- launched over the wheel of another competitor and
flipped, spectacularly, over the turn four guardrail landing between the
guardrail and the catch fence. Smith walked away uninjured. After a
twenty minute delay in the action to remove
Smith’s car, Hodnett took control on the restart with Lance Dewease
powering into the second position and former two-time Jersey Rush
winner, JJ Grasso moving into the third position. Dewease and Grasso
battled back and forth swapping the second spot leading just passed
the halfway point. Grasso, on a tear, battled in between lapped cars
and gained quickly on Hodnett, challenging the leader as the five-to-go
signal approached – and pulling alongside Hodnett in the closing laps of
the event, but it was Hodnett capturing the checkered flag over Grasso,
Davey Sammons in third, Danny Dietrich in fourth and Lance Dewease
rounding out the top 5.
Neshanic, NJ’s Jimmy Horton started on the pole for the 30-lap Modified feature event and took the early lead battling with Frenchtown, NJ’s Billy Pauch. Pauch, aboard a potent big-block machine, powered to the top spot at the fourth circuit, as Oley, PA’s Duane Howard moved into the secondposition
with ‘The Ringoes Rocket’ Ryan Godown charging to the third spot – from
the nineteenth starting position. A lap nine restart shuffled the top
runners with Howard taking over the lead and Billy Pauch Jr. moved into
the second position with a hard-charging, Neal Williams challenging for
the third spot. A two car battle for the lead ensued with Pauch Jr. and
Duane Howard shuffling the top spot back and forth in lapped traffic.
Howard, using a lapped car to his advantage, slid underneath Pauch Jr.
with two lapped to go and went on to collect the $3,000 top prize. Pauch
Jr. settled for second, Neal Williams in third, Billy Pauch in fourth
and Danny Bouc in fifth.
A field of twenty-six 410 sprints took time trials with defendingwinner
Ryan Smith earning a $100 bonus for setting fast time with a time of
13.785. Oliver Communications posted $200 to the heat race winners with
Danny Dietrich, Greg Hodnett and Steve Buckwalter taking the sprint car
heat wins, Modified heats were won by Billy Pauch Jr., Duane Howard and
Billy Pauch. Consolations were won by Mike Haggenbottom in the Sprints

TODD SHAFFER WINS LINCOLN “LEGENDS OF THE SPORT” FEATURE
DIETRICH CLAIMS $10,000 WINNER TAKE ALL $10,000 IN 410 SHOOTOUT;
Phil Walter holds off Hammaker for 358 sprint car win
ABBOTTSTOWN, PA, 8/26/2015 – Technically, it was his sixth Lincoln win and the 197th of his storied career. But Lincoln Speedway and Fred Rahmer Promotions will let it to the pundits as to whether it counts.
But
for Todd Shaffer, his win in Wednesday night’s “Legends of Central PA
Sprint Car Racing” feature event was one that he will cherish for the
rest of his days.
Second
heat winner Kenny Adams of Malibar, Florida drew a zero pill for the
inversion and led the first 10 laps of the feature event, losing a
sizeable lead over Shaffer and the rest of the field when the
competition yellow came out at the half-way point for what many drivers
called an “oxygen break.”
On the 11th-lap
restart, Adams bounced off the outside wall and lost the lead to
Shaffer, who led the rest of the way. Adams settled for second, with
Kenny Jacobs making a late-race pass to catch Cris Eash, who finished
fourth. Keith Kauffman rounded out the top five in an event which
featured 12 of the winningest drivers in Central PA history and among
Fred Rahmer’s idols that he competed against throughout his career.
Qualifiers for the legends were won by the two 88 cars, Shaffer and Adams.
Danny
Dietrich continued his hot streak by claiming two of the six match
races and taking home the winner-take-all $10,000 among the six drivers
elected by the fans through on-line voting.
Other winners of the five-lap match races were Dale Blaney (2) and Montieth (2).
In
the end, Dietrich earned 53 points, followed by Lucas Wolfe with 50,
Blaney with 48, and Montieth with 44. Greg Hodnett was sidelined in the
first set of match races with a broken lifter, and Alan Krimes suffered
mechanical problems in the last set of match races, ending both of their
nights.
McClure’s
Phil Walter, who raced against all but one of the legends on hand, took
care of all the 358 sprinters in winning the 20-lap “358” sprint car
feature.
Polesitter
Cody Fletcher, grandson of one of the mechanics recognized as part of
the evening’s festivities (Harry Fletcher), started on the pole and led
the first five laps before giving way to fourth-starting Walter.
Though
he led the rest of the way, he had to hold off the challenges of
Central PA point series and Lincoln points leader Doug Hammaker over the
second half of the race, taking the checkered .94 seconds in front for the $1,200 win.
Matt Campbell, second in Lincoln points, came on strong at the end to finish third, with Adrian Shaffer and Jeff Halligan completing the top five.
Heats for the 22 358’s on hand were won by Campbell, Shaffer, and Isaac Sneeringer.
This Saturday night, August 29, it will be APPLE CHRYSLER/DODGE/JEEP/RAM OF HANOVER NIGHT featuring the 410 Sprints, 358 Late Models , Street Stocks and York Flooring KIDS BIG WHEEL RACES. Gates open at 5:30 PM with racing action getting underway at 7:30 PM.

Two cautions midway through the race slowed the field, but the running
order remained the same on the restarts with Hodnett setting the pace. With one lap to go, Hodnett encountered
lapped traffic, giving Dietrich a shot at the lead.
On the final circuit, Hodnett went low with Dietrich taking the high
line. Dietrich made contact with
the outside guardrail, bringing out the caution flag and setting up a one-lap
race to the finish between Hodnett, Abreu and Kyle Moody.
On the restart, Hodnett continued to lead and took the checkers over
Abreau. Moddy settled for a third
place podium finish at the end.
Austin Hogue came across the finish line in fourth, followed by Brent
Marks in fifth.
In the 20-lap
358 Sprint Car feature, polesitter Doug Hammaker took the lead and began to set
a blistering pace with Brad McClelland and Jeff Halligan trying to chase him
down. A caution with four laps
remaining brought McClelland to the rear bumper of the leader.
On the restart, Wyatt Hinkle flipped in turn 1 & 2 bringing out the
red flag. Once the race restarted,
Hammaker continued to lead to the finish, taking his first SSP win of the
season. McClelland finished
second, followed by Halligan in third.
Matt Campbell and Lucas Montgomery finished fourth and fifth places
respectively. Doug Hammaker and
