OWINGS CLAIMS THIRD WIN OF THE YEAR IN TRAIL-WAY 358 SPRINTS; YOUNG WINS FEATURE, SECOND TITLE IN 600CC MICROS; JUSTIN LEH DECLARED WINNER OF STREET STOCK CHAMPIONSHIP AFTER DQ OF BRIAN WALLS; ROST WINS LYLE ADCOCK MEMORIAL FOR CLASSIC CARS


HANOVER, PA (8/26/2016) – Steve Owings made a late-race pass under Seth Kearchner to score his third win of the year in Friday night’s 25-lap “358” sprint car feature at Trail-Way Speedway.

“They made me work for this one,” said Owings upon exiting the Valentine Motorsports/Westminster Transmission/B&D Truck Hoist #35 in victory lane, “They were running fast up front.  Lapped cars and driver experience made the difference tonight.”

An inversion draw of four put Owings on the inside of row two for the start.

Seth Kearchner started second and led the first 23 laps before Owings slid under Kearchner as the two leaders passed under the white flag.  Two turns later, disaster struck for Kearchner, who hit the lapped car of Steve Kisamore, bringing out the caution and ending the night for both drivers.

Owings led the final lap to claim his tenth career Trail-Way win, with Jeff Halligan, polesitter Kody Hartlaub, Tyler Walton, and Isaac Sneeringer completing the top five.

“If it weren’t for Steve Rucker, we would be here,” said Owings, “We’ve been running here since motorcycles in 80’s.  It’s just a lot of fun here.”

Sixth through tenth were Cody Fletcher, points leader David Holbrook, Dwight Leppo, Mike Bittinger, and J.B. Cunningham.

Qualifiers for the 16 “358” sprints were won by Walton and Owings.

Johnstown’s Jim Young added an exclamation point to his second Trail-Way track title by winning the 20-lap 600cc micro-sprint feature.  It was Young’s third TW win of the year and 10th of his Trail-Way career.  Second through fifth were Brad Weber, Mike Rynard, Zane Rudisill, and Hannah Riser.

Heats for the 18 micros were won by Darren Kauffman and Young.

Travis Leh was declared the winner of the 25-lap street stock championship when apparent winner Brian Walls was disqualified following a refusal by his car owner to a requested post-race inspection.  It was Leh’s first career street stock win.

Michael Goodwin, Jeremy Stremmel, Dalton Myers and Pat Meadowcroft were credited with second through fifth.

\Heats for the street stocks were won by Zach Myers and Leh.

Jim Rost won the 20-lap Lyle Adcock Memorial for Classic Cars.

His margin of victory was a half-lap after Joe Brown and Ron Grove got together while racing for second with two laps to go.  Both drivers recovered, and Brown crossed second followed by Grove.  Tim Fake and Neal Reamer completed the top five.

Heats for the nine Classic Cars were won by Reamer and Rost.
