HANOVER, PA (9/4/2015) – Brad McClelland
won both ends of the “358” sprint car feature at Trail-Way Speedway Friday
night.
With a one-hour, forty minute rain delay half-way through the event,
Brad McClelland started on the pole and led every lap for his division-leading 48th
career win at Trail-Way.
After dodging the wet stuff earlier in the evening, Trail-Way was hit
with heavy rain during a 14th lap caution involving five cars in
turn two. As the cars were lining up for
a restart, a sudden heavy shower forced the cars to outer pit area.
“It didn’t matter to me if they called it,” said McClelland upon exiting
the Steve Rucker Littlestown Auto Care Center/Arter Graphics/Rucker Computer
Solutions #6R, “But I’m glad they stuck it out.”
“I was too loose at the beginning of the race and I was getting worried,”
said McClelland, “But the car worked better after the rain.”
Cody Fletcher was running second when the rains came, but spun racing
through lapped traffic in turns three and four of lap 23, damaging front
suspension parts and ending his night. Dwight
Leppo assumed second for the restart and held off Jeff Rohrbaugh over the final
two laps. Mike Bittinger and Doug
Hammaker completed the top five.
Qualifiers for the 18 “358” sprinters were won by Rohrbaugh and Trail-Way
points leader Isaac Sneeringer, who was hung up in the five-car lap 14 crash
and finished tenth.
Craley’s Bill Diehl came from fifth starting spot to catch outside front
row starter Rick Hartwig on lap six and score his fourth win of the year in the
20-lap Central PA Legends feature. Travis
McClelland pressured Diehl over the second half of the race, but settled for a
well-earned runner-up finish. Chris
Transeau, Chris McKinney, and Travis Perry crossed third through fifth.
Heats for the 17 Legends were won by McKinney and Chad Earnst.
Eric Johnson raced to his third win of the year and third career win in
the 20-lap street stock feature.
Johnson, who was helped by the rain delay in getting enough time change
a rear end, crossed 1.5 seconds ahead of Will Walls, who was subsequently
disqualified for using illegal heads.
Walls’ disqualification moved Brian Walls up to second, with Mike
Fletcher, Michael Goodwin; and Jim Jacobs credited with third through fifth.
Michael Kolodiej Jr. started on the pole and held off several
challengers during the course of the 15-lap event to claim his first career
Friday night Trail-Way win in the limited stock feature. Lady driver Sarah Redmond crossed .4 seconds behind
Kolodiej in second, with Chad Martin, Matt Chronister, and Keith Dorsey II
rounding out the top five.
Qualifiers for the 16 limited stocks were won by Chad Martin and
Redmond.
Friday September 11th, Trail-Way hosts the “Trone Outdoor
Championship” for 358 sprint cars paying $2,000 to win! The Mason-Dixon 270
