HODNETT SCORES SELINSGROVE 360 SPRINT CAR OPEN VICTORY

SELINSGROVE, Pa. -- Greg Hodnett added his name to a prominent list of winners of the Mach 1 Chassis National Open for 360 sprint cars Sunday night at Selinsgrove Speedway. Hodnett drew the number one to start from the pole of the 30 lap Sprint Car spectacular.

Hodnett bolted into the race lead and left prelim night winner Mark Smith to battle with Jason Shultz for the runner up spot. Blane Heimbach came from his sixth starting spot to work by Shultz for third and then soon by Smith by the second spot.

By lap 14 Smith and Heimbach battle for second had closed in on Hodnett in lap traffic. A red flag for Nate Snyder stopped the race and gave Hodnett the open race track once again.

On the restart Heimbach was able to pull away from Smith and focus on the race leader. Hodnetts lead began to shrink again when he caught the tail of the field on lap 24. By that time Curt Michael had climbed into the top five as well.

The yellow flag again unfurled on lap 25 ending the race for the lead. Heimbach number 12 had stopped on the home stretch ending his bid for the National Open crown.

With five to go Mark Smith would need to make his move quick on the restart Smith kept the pace of the race leader for the next lap before Hodnett again extended the advantage. Michael was now by Shultz and on Smiths tail for second.

Hodnett closed out the final laps of the 17th annual running of the National Open to take the $6,000 payday.

Smith was second followed on the podium by Michael.

Jason Shutlz and Davie Franek were the rest of the top five finishers. Lucas Wolfe was sixth followed by TJ Stutts, Steve Collins, Chad Layton, and Robbie Stillwagon.

Jeff Stere presented a hard charger award that went to Layton who came from 20th to finish in ninth.

Shutlz, Heimbach, and Billy VanInwegen won heat race for the 360 Sprint Cars while Larry Kelleher took the B-main victory.

The National Open wouldnt have been possible without the help of the United Racing Club and Mach 1 Chassis. Title sponsor Mach 1 Chassis, located at 10 North Frederick Street in Mechanicsburg, engineers and builds race car chassis that are known for safety, strength, durability, and performance.
In addition to chassis fabrication and repair, Mach 1 Chassis also manufactures front and rear bumpers, nerf bars, front axles, wing posts, and
wing trees.

Dave Grube was in a race long battle with Cale Reigle during the 305 Sprint Car main event. Reigle took over the top spot from Grube on lap eight.
Grube then entered into a tight battle with Tyler Resser for the second spot. Resser was able to grab the spot before Grube took it back.

The battle for second proved that much more important when the rear axel broke on Reigels number 99 on lap 14. It was the first and only caution flag of the race.

On the restart Grube had pressure right away from Reeser. Reeser continued
to try to use the momentum of the outside line for the remaining laps to take the race lead away. Grube on the other hand stayed loyal to the inside line.

Although Reeser got very close on the last two laps, he was never able to pass Grube. Grubes checkered flag was his first at the speedway.

Reeser was second with Zach Newlin, Jeremi Hanson, and Austin Bishop rounding out the top five finishers.

Sixth through tenth in the finishing order went to Ken Duke, Nathan Gramley, Jared Zionkowski, Andrew Hake, and Dave Graber.

Newlin and Hake took heat race victory in the 305 Sprint Cars.

The Econo Late Model inversion was a four for the feature event. Tim Krape  picked the inversion and put himself fourth to start the feature in what he called a dismal year of racing. He thought maybe the pill draw was going to just be another part of his bad luck season.

Tim Fedder had a similar idea after taking the race lead from Troy Miller on the opening lap. Fedder continued to lead while Krape worked his way to second.

Krape would close on the race leader and then fall off again over the next  13 laps. When the two to go sign was given Fedder had begun to race in lap traffic.

Fedder tried to be a little more conservative around the slower cars and that allowed Krape to muscle the race lead away on the final lap going down the back stretch. There was not enough time for Fedder to recover and take the race lead back.

Krape lead only one lap of the main event but it was the most important one. Fedder was second followed across the line by Todd Snook, JR Toner, and Shaun Miller.

Andrew Stotler, Andrew Yoder, Troy Miller, Jason Schmidt, and Jason Davis closed out the top ten finishers. Krape and Toner won heat races.

SMITH SMASHES TAKES 360 SPRINT CAR NATIONAL OPEN PRELIM EVENT. TAKES 18 SECONDS OFF TRACK RECORD

RINE MAKES LATE-RACE PASS FOR 106th CAREER VICTORY
   
SLANKER TAKES 5th OF SEASON IN PRO STOCK THRILLER

Mark Smith of Sunbury started off the Mach 1 Chassis National Open weekend with a dominating performance in the 360 Sprint Cars. Smith won the 25-lap preliminary event worth $3,000 and set a new track record for the distance in 7:54.603. Smith’s new record was more than 15 seconds faster than the standing record coming into the night. The win also locks Smith into the feature event for this Sunday night’s 17th Annual National Open Finale.

Smith took the top spot on lap three from Steve Collins in the nonstop feature event. Davie Franek moved to second on lap ten and began to try to close the gap on Smith. The lead would only shrink for a small time before Smith drove back away to the five second advantage he had at the end of the event.

Franek came home second while Cody Keller, Nate Snyder, and Steve Collins were the top five game. Curt Michael was sixth followed by Robbie Stillwagon, Josh Weller, Jason Schultz, and Ryan Kissinger.
Heat races for the 360 Sprint Cars were won by Michalski, Franek, Eric Tomecek, while Chris Coyle won the B-Main.


Donnie Schick led the first half of the Jeff’s Auto Body and Recycling Center Super Late Model feature. Schick had opened up an impressive lead over Jeff Rine once Rine got to second on lap ten. Rine then began to close the gap on Schick. Schick’s straightaway lead dwindled over the next ten laps before Rine caught and passed Shick.

A yellow flag gave Shick a second chance, but Rine would complete the pass after the restart to take the lead away for second time. Rine led the rest of the way for his 106th career Selinsgrove Speedway win.
Rine took the checkered flag over Schick, Bryan Bernheisel, Gene Kanub, and Tony Adams. Hayes Mattern was the sixth car across the line with Steve Campbell, Kenny Treveitz, Luke Hoffner, and Dan Green the top ten.

Bernheisel and Rine won the heat races for the Late Models.


Jake Buck brought the A&A Auto Store Pro Stock feature to the green flag on Saturday night. Shaun Lawton was able to wrestle the top spot away from Buck to lead lap number two. Once out front it looked like Lawton was going to drive to his third win of the season.

A yellow on a lap five restart reset the field nose to tail and allowed point leader Tommy Slanker to go to work. Slanker restarted fourth, but soon went past runner up Kyle Bachman to give chase to Lawton. On lap eight Slanker made an outside move around Lawton to secure the lead for good. Slanker drove to his fifth win of the season.

Lawton, Bachman, Dustin Snook, and AJ Stroup were the top five finishers. Johnny Bouse crossed the line in sixth followed by Brandon Moser, Jake Buck, Peanut Heintzelman, and John Schoch.
Heat races for the Pro Stocks were won by Bachman and Lawton.

This Sunday, July 30, will be the Mach 1 Chassis 360 Sprint Car National Open. The 17th annual running of the event will pay $6,000 to win. The PASS 305 Sprint Cars and Econo Late Models will also be in action. Racing at 7:30. General Admission will be $15 with students paying $8. Kids 11 years of age and younger will be admitted FREE.

Next Saturday, Aug. 5, the speedway kicks off the final full month of racing this season with the Sunbury Eagles Club Night and the Eastern Museum of Motor on-hand for the rescheduled Firecracker 30 for the 360 Sprint Cars plus Super Late Models, Pro Stocks, and Econo Late Models.

TONY JACKSON ENDS DRY SLUMP AT SUSQUEHANNA

Hoffer, Pierson, Updegraff and Murphy Other Saturday Winners


By Brad Vores for Susquehanna Speedway

YORK HAVEN, PA…7/29/17
Tony Jackson and his Clair “Tripp” Finkenbinder owned team have been fast all season long at Susquehanna Speedway.

But fast doesn’t always win races.

Saturday night, the Newville, PA racer put it all together to capture his first 25-lap Credit Connection Auto Sales Super Sportsman feature win of the season.

After crashing last week and spending long hours all week in the race shop, Jackson started sixth on the grid, exchanged the lead with veteran Rich Eichelberger several times during the early laps of the feature. Jackson took control with five laps down but two late race yellows bunched the field on Jackson’s bumper.


Following a lap 23 caution, Doug Dodson was applying pressure to Jackson and as the pair raced towards the white flag, sparks flew from Dodson’s machine ending his bid as Jackson held on during the final lap to become the seventh different Super Sportsman winner this season aboard the McCoy Brothers General Construction, Liberator Performance No. 17J.

Eichelberger settled for the runner-up spot with defending track champion Russ Mitten third after starting 11th followed by Jay Fannasy and Gregg Foster with Mike Enders, track point leader Kenny Edkin, Chase Gutshall, Justin Foster and 21st starter and Hard Charger Nate Young completing the top ten.

Eichelberger, Gutshall and Justin Foster were heat winners for the 23 car field.

Adam Pierson started on the pole of the 20-lap ARDC Midget feature but would follow Brett Arndt during the first five laps before taking the lead and driving to his first Susquehanna win.

Ryan Greth finished second over Tommy Kunsman, Arndt and PJ Gargiulo with Ryan Wilson, Kenny Miller, Josh Heckman, Shawn Jackson and Jason Rice the top ten finishers.

Kunsman and Arndt were ARDC heat winners with 17 cars pitside.

Joey Hoffer raced to his second win of the season in the 20-lap Morgan Paving/Aqua Fun Pools Street Stock feature.

Starting on the pole, Hoffer led flag to flag in the caution-filled event. Despite four restarts during the final two laps of the race, Hoffer prevailed over Jim Palm, Randy Zechman, Craig Morgan and Kevin Sigler with Mike Potts, Jimmy Combs, Ryan Smith 21st starter and Artwerks Hard Charger Matt Adams and Brad Bingaman rounding out the top ten finishers.

Potts, Sigler and Hoffer won heats for the 23 street stocks.

Track point leader and leading winner Alex Updegraff scored win number nine in the 20-lap Superior Homes Extreme Stock feature that was rained out back on July 8.

Updegraffs’s win came over Patrick McClane, Michael Smith, Kyle Emig and Bill Powell.

In the regularly scheduled Extreme Stock feature, Donnie Murphy ended the Updegraff domination coming through with his first win of the season and only the third different Extreme Stock winner.

Murphy was the eighth and final leader in the 20 lap event as Travis Horan, Jed Latshaw and Patrick McClane were all scored leaders of at least one lap during the main.

Murphy took the lead on lap 15 and held back 15th starter Updegraff for the win with Kyle Emig, Jed Latshaw and Michael Smith the top five finishers.

There were 20 Extreme Stocks in competition.


Coming up Saturday night August 5th, it will be Tyson Fence Night at Susquehanna Speedway and it will also serve as Kids Night 2017 with lots of festivities and prizes for the youngsters on hand. The Credit Connection Auto Sales Super Sportsman, Bernheisel Race Cars 358 Late Models and Morgan Paving/Aqua Fun Pools Street Stocks will make up the three division program,. A makeup feature for the 358 Late Models, that was rained out on July 8 will also be on the race card which begins at 7PM with racing. Kids Night activities begin at 3PM.

LAFFERTY DOMINATES PORT ROYAL LEGENDS DREAM RACE SATURDAY TO POCKET $12,510

Coleby Frye wins first of Port season in super lates


Speedway Offers $10 Admission & $2,000 To Win/25-laps For Late Models Aug. 5

Port Royal – Rick Lafferty dominated the Port Royal Speedway Living Legends Dream Race for 410 sprint cars on Saturday night to record the biggest win of his career, worth a combined total of $12,510 including posted payout and lap moneys.

Lafferty not only won the 35-lap Dream A Main but he also scored a $2,000 win in a 16-lap semi feature to set himself up for the main event. Danny Dietrich won the other semi feature contested.

In the 25-lap super late model main, it was Coleby Frye taking his first Port Royal checkers of the year, worth $2,000.

Lafferty started second in the Dream Race main event and outraced polesitter Greg Hodnett through the first corner to take the lead.

The first caution flag of the race unfurled on just the second lap, bunching the field, with Dietrich restarting third and Lance Dewease racing fourth.

Lafferty entered the backmarkers with Hodnett and Dewease giving chase on the 10th lap and that’s when Hodnett got another shot at the lead.

It was on the 13th tour that Hodnett squeezed by Lafferty for the lead as the pair entered the first turn but Lafferty proved up to the challenge and pulled back around Hodnett onto the backstretch to reclaim command.

A lap later Dietrich slowed on the track, forcing another caution flag.

Lafferty was stout on restarts the entire night, in both his semi main and the feature event, pacing the field slowly to the stripe before dropping the hammer and jetting away when the green appeared.

Another caution flag with 17 away proved the same result and Lafferty again entered traffic with 10 laps to go.

But a blown right rear tire on Cory Haas’ machine necessitated another yellow flag that turned red for refueling moments later.

Lafferty again drove away on the restart to take the victory, the 11th of his career at Port Royal, with a margin of victory of 1.136 seconds.

Dewease raced with Hodnett for second on the final lap and secured the spot in the final turns, taking home some $6,090 on the night including lap and purse moneys.

Hodnett ended up third in the A, taking home a combined total of $3,510.

Lucas Wolfe finished third, pocketing a combined $2,860 and Dale Blaney rode home fifth, accumulating a total of $2,200 on the night.

Sixth through 10th in the feature went to James McFadden, TJ Stutts, Blane Heimbach, Freddie Rahmer and Brock Zearfoss.

Fast times over the 35-car field were set by Blaney and Stutts with laps of 15.864 and 15.942, respectively.

Mike Wagner earned the fan-voted 25th starting position.

Kody Lehman won a complete set of Penske Shocks for having entered the most 2017 Port Royal events out of all the non-qualifiers at the conclusion of the B Main.

Chad Hollenbeck started second and led the first 13 laps of the 25-lap super late model main before seventh starter Coleby Frye took over to run to the win over a stout 32-car field.

Frye worked into third on the 11th lap, getting around Jason Covert for the spot before driving by Matt Cosner for second on lap 13.

It then took Frye just one more circuit to work by Hollenbeck for the victory.

Jason Covert came to second, getting by Cosner for the spot on the 17th loop but failed to gain on Frye for the win.

Covert finished second, 1.055 seconds behind the winner, followed by Cosner, Brian Tavenner and Kyle Hardy.

Sixth through 10th went to Mike Lupfer, Jason Miller, Chad Hollenbeck, Jim Yoder and Jamie Lathroum.

Heats went to Covert, Tavenner, Chris Casner and Cosner with Trent Brenneman scoring the consolation race.

Speedway officials announced that the August 5 show will be Fan Appreciation Night, offering $10 adult general admission for a racing program of 410 sprints, super late models, 305 sprints and xtreme stocks.

It was also announced that the super late models will race in a $2,000 to win, $200 to start, increased purse, 25-lap main in the August 5 show.

It will also be free military night, when past or present members of the military, with proper id, receive free general admission.

MONTIETH COMES FROM 12TH TO WIN LINCOLN NON-STOP 410 SPRINT CAR FEATURE

Halligan runs away from field in 358 sprints; Sagi claims first-ever Lincoln win in 358 late models



ABBOTTSTOWN, PA – July 29, 2017 – Brian Montieth continues his climb to legendary status at Lincoln Speedway.  The latest feat was a win from 12th starting spot in a non-stop feature on Saturday night.

It included a thrilling three-car pass from fourth to first on lap 14.

Montieth entered the top five on lap nine as race-long leader Tyler Ross entered lapped traffic with a one and-a-half second lead over Brandon Rahmer.  Rahmer was side-by-side with Ross for the race lead as the two completed lap 13.  By that time, Montieth had advanced to fourth and was hot on the tail of third-place Chad Trout as all four raced nose-to-tail, side-by-side through lapped traffic.  Montieth split Trout and Rahmer to move into second on the backstretch, and then went to the top side to drive around Ross for the race lead in turns three and four.

“Traffic here is everything,” said Montieth in victory lane, “Everybody had a shot to do something, and I just had to do something different.”

Montieth pulled away over the final ten laps to score a 2.41-second win over fifth-starting Chase Dietz, who advanced several spots over the final laps to cross second.  Seventh starting Matt Campbell also came on strong at the end to finish third, with eighth-starting Chad Trout and Rahmer finishing fourth and fifth.

“It wasn’t a ‘gimme’ tonight.  I can’t say enough about this team,” said Montieth, “We’ve struggled all-year and we should have been here more than we have.  We made a lot of progress last weekend with the Outlaws.  Even though we didn’t do very well time trial and heat race-wise, we finally got on the right page and I hope this continues.”

“I think a lot of it is seat time,” added Montieth, “I’ve been racing here a lot longer than most of those guys that started up there.”

When reminded that his 55th career Lincoln win moved him to within one of the great Bobby Abel, Montieth said,
“That’s something that 30 years ago I would never even though of.  Thirty-five years ago I didn’t even know this place existed.  There are a lot of legends in this place, and over the years I’ve learned about them.”

Ross settled for sixth, with Jim Siegel, Alan Krimes, Gerard McIntyre, Jr., and Tim Glatfelter rounding out the top ten.

Heats for the 18 “410” Sprinters were won by Krimes and Cole Young.

Jeff Halligan started on the pole and dominated the 20-lap 358 sprint car feature event, opening night of the Lincoln/Trail-Way “Shootout” for 358 sprinters.  (Night #2 will be on September 1st at Trail-Way.)   His second Lincoln win of the year was by seven seconds over a wild three-car battle for the runner-up spot, with Troy Wagaman, Jr. coming from seventh starting spot to hold off point leader Adrian Shaffer and Steve Owings.  Todd Rittenhouse, Jr. was fifth.

Heats for the 30 “358” Sprinters were won by Wagaman, Jordan Givler, and Matt Findley, with Chandler Leiby winning the consolation.

Alan Sagi took the lead from polesitter Matt Murphy on the second lap and led the rest of the way for his first career Lincoln win in the 20-lap 358 late model feature.  And his win came on a big night, as the active Auto Racing Club of Hagerstown member won on ARCH Night.

KENNY EDKIN JUST KEEPS WINNING AT SUSQUEHANNA

Dietz, Sites and Upegraff also Take Checkered Flags


By Brad Vores for Susquehanna Speedway

YORK HAVEN, PA…7/22/17
Kenny Edkin just isn’t letting up.

The young Marysville, PA racer stormed from his 12th starting spot to capture his second consecutive and fifth overall Credit Connection Auto Sales Super Sportsman feature Saturday at Susquehanna Speedway.

Chase Dietz raced to his first career Susquehanna Speedway win in the K1 RaceGear 358 Sprint Summer Series feature while Kory Sites ended the streak of first time winners in Morgan Paving/Aqua Fun Pools Street Stock action, becoming the first repeat winner this season.

Alex Updegraff continued his winning ways in the Superior Homes Extreme Stocks with his eighth win of the year.

After Garrett Williamson and Matt Ondek traded the lead during the first eight laps of the 25-lap Super Sportsman feature, Edkin made the race winning move with nine laps complete after lining up on the sixth row.

Edkin pulled away from the field once again as he continued his summer hot streak and padded his track points lead with his eighth straight top five finish aboard his family owned Edkin’s Towing, Carlisle Auto Salvage, Marysville Motorcars, King Spin Pizza, Rich Valley Black Walnuts No. 75.

Mike Enders came from eighth to finish in the runner-up spot followed by 10th starter Paul Miller, Ondek and 11th starter Scott Dellinger with Russ Mitten, Doug Dodson, Rich Eichelberger, Chase Gutshall and 23rd starter and ArtWerks Hard Charger Davey Walsh completing the top ten.

Heats for the 23 Super Sportsman were won by Gutshall, Edkin and Tony Jackson.

Troy Wagaman, Jr. led the first ten laps of the 25-lap K1 RaceGear 358 Sprint Summer Series feature before fourth-starting Chase Dietz took over and would never look back in scoring his first win for the R & R Motorsports/Roger McGeehan owned team.

Dietz, who earned $1,500 for the win took the checkered flag ahead of Steven Drevicki, Wagaman, Brent Shearer and Jordan Givler.

Rounding out the top ten were 22nd starter and Hard Charger Chris Frank, Mike Bittinger, Chris Arnold, Chandler Leiby and TJ DeHaven.

The 358 Sprint car main was stopped twice with red flags involving top challengers Chad Trout, who set fast time and multi-time Central PA winner Doug Hammaker.

Drevecki, Wagaman, Givler and Dietz were heat winners for the 38-car field while Todd Gracey won the consolation. Trout paced time trials with a fast lap of 16.672 seconds.

Veteran driver Kory Sites became the first repeat winner in ten races this season as he picked up his second win in the Morgan Paving/Aqua Fun Pools Street Stock feature.

Sites started third and wasted little time in taking control, gaining the lead on lap two and holding on despite six caution periods during the 20 lap event.

Sites took the win over Craig Morgan, 10th starter Michael Walls, Mike Potts and Scott Strickler as Dalton Frye, 16th starter Randy Zechman,  Kevin Heckman, 19th starter and Artwerks Hard Charger Jimmy Combs and Jim Palm were the top ten finishers.

Joey Hoffer and Kevin Sigler won heats for the 19 Street Stocks.

It was win number eight for Alex Updegraff in the Superioer Homes Extreme  Stock feature as he led the final 12 laps to pick up the win over Patrick McClane, Michael Smith, Travis Horan and Donnie Broderick. Updegraff also won the single heat race for the 12 car field.

Susquehanna Speedway will close out the month of July with a big double-header weekend with the 16th annual York County Nationals. Saturday night, July 29 will feature the Credit Connection Auto Sales Super Sportsman, ARDC Midgets, Morgan Paving/Aqua Fun Pools Street Stocks and the Superior Homes Extreme Stocks. The Extreme Stocks will also have a makeup feature that was lost to curfew back on July 8. Then on Sunday night, July 30, the Bob Hilbert Sportswear Short Track Super Series will invade Susquehanna for a $10,000 to win 50-lap event for the Open Modifieds. Joining the Modifieds will be the ServiceMaster Clean Central PA Legends. Race time both nights will be 7PM.

RAIN POSTPONES CHAMPION RACING OIL SUMMER NATIONALS FEATURE TO NATIONAL OPEN WEEKEND AT WILLIAMS GROVE SPEEDWAY

MECHANICSBURG, Pa. – All qualifying events were complete Saturday night when rain hit Williams Grove Speedway during the Champion Racing Oil Summer Nationals.

After waiting for 30 minutes, and with rain still falling, Williams Grove and World of Outlaws officials decided to postpone the 30-lap, $20,000 to win Sprint car feature to the opening night of the National Open, which is Thursday night September 28.

Five-time and defending Williams Grove track champion Greg Hodnett was scheduled to start on the pole with third place Outlaws point man David  Gravel to his outside. The Posse and Outlaws also shared row two with Danny Dietrich starting third and Brad Sweet fourth. Logan Schuchart, Daryn Pittman, Jason Sides, Lucas Wolfe, Outlaws point leader Donny Schatz and Shane Stewart completed the top 10 in the starting line-up. Lance Dewease and Brian Montieth were scheduled to start 11th and 12th.

The 38-car field was split into two groups for qualifying time trials. Hodnett set quick time over the first group with a lap of 17.186. Wolfe, Sides, Dietrich and Matt Campbell followed Hodnett. Schuchart set quick time over the second group with a lap of 17.314. Pittman, Gravel, Sweet and Trey Starks followed Schuchart.

Hodnett, Dietrich, Gravel and Sweet won the eight-lap heat races. Hodnett drew the zero pill for dash inversion and won the six-lap race over Gravel and Dietrich.  Anthony Macri beat Steve Buckwalter to win the Last Chance Showdown

Franek Continues to Rule Delaware


Davie “No Panic” Franek continued his dominance over the state of Delaware picking up his 6th win of the season and his 3rd win of the Capitol Renegade United Racing Club 2017 season. Franek also picked up valuable points on leader Curt Michael for the 2017 URC Championship.

At the drop of the green flag, Chris Coyle looked strong aboard the Fred Kennedy owned 56 car, Franek who started in the 5th position was a man on a mission. Franek picked off 2nd place from Davey Sammons on lap six and set sail for the leader Chris Coyle.

By the lap 6 pass, Franek was over a straightaway behind Coyle. A lap 14 yellow put the driver of the 28f car on the back bumper of Coyle.

On the double-file restart Franek outgunned Coyle from the high lane overtaking the home state driver and never looked back. Starting in the 7th position, the Jersey Jet J.J. Grasso rode the extreme outside of the speedway to second in the waning laps, with Coyle, Sammons and Delaware’s Curt Michael filling out the front five.

It was a Delaware sweep in the heat races as heat wins went to the 5G of Curt Michael and the 56 of Coyle.

The Capitol Renegade United Racing Club will be back in action next weekend with a triple header. The Keystone 360 Sprint Car Weekend kicks off on Friday night for the Lelands.com 360 Sprint Car National Friday, July 28, at Williams Grove Speedway paying $3,000 to win. More than $50,000 in prize money has been posted for the weekend’s three 360 sprint car races.
Lelands.com posted a $10,000 bonus for any one driver who can sweep the weekend series with victories in all three main events.
The winners of Friday’s race at Williams Grove and Saturday’s race at Selinsgrove will be guaranteed starters in Sunday’s finale for the 360’s at Selinsgrove.

Saturday’s race will feature the 360 sprint cars in a 25-lap preliminary event paying $3,000 to win and $300 to start.
Sunday’s July 30 finale will be a 30-lap feature paying $6,000 to win and $400 to start for the 360 sprint cars.

Friday night track gates open at 5pm with hot laps at 7:30 and racing at 8pm. Selinsgrove track gates will open at 5 p.m. with practice laps at 7 p.m. and qualifying slated to begin at 7:30 p.m. both nights.

BROCK ZEARFOSS WINS NIGHT NUMBER ONE OF CHAMPION RACING OIL SUMMER NATIONALS AT WILLIAMS GROVE SPEEDWAY FOR FIRST CAREER WORLD OF OUTLAWS VICTORY

MECHANICSBURG, Pa. – When Brock Zearfoss first drove Aaron Long’s No. 58, he didn’t qualify for the World of Outlaws race at Williams Grove Speedway in May.

But, it was a much different outcome Friday night as Zearfoss steered the car to victory in a wild 25-lap main event.

His first career series victory was worth $8,000 as he held off some of the Outlaws best.

“I was either going out of the park or winning this,” said Zearfoss in victory lane. “Our car was really good all night long. They’ve been working so hard. We debuted this at the first Outlaw race and weren’t good at all. To go from not making the show to standing on the frontstretch at an Outlaw race says something about these guys. I wasn’t lifting. I probably should have because I was banging off that cushion pretty hard, but how many times do you get to win an Outlaw race? This is a dream come true.”

“Our notebook isn’t very big,” said Long. “People can say what they want, but I think this guy is the most under-rated driver in the state. He gets better every week.”

Daryn Pittman and Lance Dewease swapped the lead in turns one and two on the initial start. Pittman officially led the first lap, but it was Dewease getting by for the lead off turn two.
Zearfoss, of Jonestown, passed Donny Schatz for the third spot as they raced off turn four. Zearfoss nearly passed Pittman for second as well. Dewease had a two-second lead when he reached the back of the field with eight laps completed.

Pittman caught the fence coming off turn four and Zearfoss got by. David Gravel passed Schatz and then Pittman to move into third.

The red flag flew with 16 laps completed. Sheldon Haudenschild flipped in turn one. He was okay. Danny Dietrich was also involved. Dewease had a 2.194 second lead.

Gravel passed Zearfoss down the frontstretch and then threw a huge slider at Dewease in turn one on the restart. Dewease was at the cushion as Gravel slid across the corner. Dewease jumped the cushion resulting in the car flipping several times along the top of turn two. A video replay showed no contact was made between the two cars. Dewease climbed out and walked away from the Donnie Kreitz-owned car.

Zearfoss and Gravel led the field down for the double-file restart with 16 laps completed.
Race officials called a jump start on Gravel on the restart.

“This motor was stumbling all night,” said Zearfoss. “I got it to go a couple of times. David didn’t jump me. It just didn’t go. I got lucky there.”

This put Gravel back one row and Schatz up to second. Zearfoss held Schatz back on the restart.
“I got it to go on that restart, but I didn’t want to see another caution because I wasn’t sure if I’d be able to do it again,” said Zearfoss. “Luckily, I got a good restart and was able to hold him off.”
Gravel got back by Pittman and then went after Schatz. They traded sliders and raced side-by-side before Gravel secured the spot off turn four just as the caution flew with 19 laps completed.
Gravel threw a slider at Zearfoss in turn one on the restart, but couldn’t clear the pass as Zearfoss blasted off the cushion.

Schatz got back by Gravel in turn four, but Gravel returned the pass in turn two as Zearfoss motored away.

His final margin of victory was 1.384 seconds over Gravel.

“I never touched him,” said Gravel referring to Dewease. “Lance probably had a pretty tight racecar and flipped over on the curb. I honestly didn’t want to slide him. I checked-up. I thought he was going to get back around me. I had to work really hard to get back to second. I feel like we had the best car, but finished second.”

BITTINGER HOLDS OFF KODY HARTLAUB FOR TRAIL-WAY 358 SPRINT CAR WIN

CHANEY BEST OF CENTRAL PA LEGENDS; PECK, COX 270 MICRO WINNERS
CARROLL TAKES LIMITED STOCKS; RICKRODE WINS COGHILL MEMORIAL FOR VINTAGE CARS  


HANOVER, PA (7/21/2017) – Mike Bittinger raced to his second win of the season in the 25-lap 358 sprint car feature at Trail-Way Speedway Friday night.

“It’s warm out, but I’m not quite as warm as I was the last time I was here,” quipped the Abbottstown driver after exiting his Apple Automotive/Big Mike’s Crabhouse/Three Hogs Barbecue #12 in victory lane.

The last time Bittinger raced at Trail-Way, he dove to the infield with his car on fire.  He jumped from the car and rolled on the ground.

“My daughter told me I looked like Ricky Bobby,” joked Bittinger, “Next time I’ll have to rip my suit off and run down the track!”

Not only was Bittinger hot, but he was tired, too.

“I felt good for 20 laps, and then I don’t know what happened.  I guess the Geratol wore off.  I ended up bouncing off the curb a time or two, but it didn’t hurt us,” said Bittinger, “Without my crew and sponsors, I wouldn’t be standing here.”

His final margin of victory was a half-second over Kody Hartlaub, who completed his best-ever TW finish.  Isaac Sneeringer crossed third, followed by hard charger Steve Owings, who started 12th and went into the pits for some adjustments after sustaining some damage in a four-car crash that resulted in a Cody Fletcher flip on turn one of lap two.  Joe Trone, Jr. rounded out the top five.

Qualifiers for the 14 sprint cars were won by Hartlaub and David Holbrook.

The Mason Dixon 270cc micro-sprints ran two feature events.

In the make-up feature rained delayed from a few weeks ago, Levi Peck was declared the winner when Mike Rutherford was penalized two spots for passing before the cone on a restart.  Chad Myers finished second and Rutherford was credited with third.  Jeff Arigo and Joe Long Jr. completed the top five.

In the regularly-scheduled feature, Steven Cox won his first Trail-Way race of the year, crossing ahead of Peck, with Brent Bull, Chad Myers and Tim Mc Clelland rounding out the top five.

Bull land Cory Myers won heats for the 19 micros on hand.

Mason Chaney raced to his second Trail-Way win of the year and his sixth 2017 win overall in dthe Service Master Clean Central PA Legends feature.


Chris Transeau, 11th-starting Bill Diehl, Justin Mitchell, and Scott Houdeshell crossed second through fifth.  Houdeshell actually came from the back twice after early-race incidents.

Heats for the 20 Legends were won by Rick Hartwig and Hayden Pascoe.

Scott Rickrode claimed the win in the 20-lap Les Coghill Memorial for the Penn Mar Vintage cars, a race made up from a June 23rrd rainout.

Randy Minich, Glenn Pobbletts, John Marks, and Mark Rickrode, Jr. rounded out the top five.

Robbie Carroll inherited the lead when Shannon Weaver made contact with a lapped car and struck the outside backstretch wall on lap nine, then went on to win his second TW race of the year n the 15-lap limited stock feature.

Terry Hartlaub, Kyle Rohrbaugh, Jason Chronister, and Jeff Foster crossed second through fifth.

 Next Friday, July 28th, Trail-Way swings back into action with the 358 Sprints, along with the 600 Micro Sprints, Limited Stocks, Street Stocks and the Classic Cars competing in the 20-lap “Lyle Adcock Memorial.” Gates open at 5:30 p.m., with heats scheduled to begin at 7:45 p.m.

LUCAS WOLFE MAKES LAST LAP PASS FOR WIN IN BAPS 410 SPRINTS

Kenny Edkin Continues Dream Season in  Sportsman


By Brad Vores for Susquehanna Speedway

YORK HAVEN, PA…7/16/17
Lucas Wolfe used a last lap, turn two pass to capture the win in Sunday night’s 30-lap BAPS Auto Paints and Supplies 410 Sprint Series feature at Susquehanna Speedway.

Kenny Edkin continued his dream season in the Credit Connection Auto Sales Super Sportsman as he turned an impressive run into his series leading fourth feature win of the season.

With 18 410 Sprints taking the green flag, Greg Hodnett outgunned fellow front row starter Tyler Walker to take control of the feature event.

Hodnett caught the rear of the field with nine laps in as sixth-starting Danny Dietrich moved into third behind Hodnett and third-starting Lucas Wolfe.

Dietrich got around Wolfe on lap 23 and was pounding the top of the speedway when the leaders encountered a pack of four slower cars. Hodnett was able to work through them but Dietrich jumped the wheel of Jim Shuster entering the third turn and drove into the wall, ending his night.

Hodnett held control on the double file restart but went on defense over the final laps as Wolfe continued to pound the top of the track looking for every inch of momentum.

As the white flag waved, he got a great bite off turn two, sliding by Hodnett and driving to the checkered flag. It was his eighth overall win this season in the Michael Barshinger owned No. 24 and he became the fourth different winner in as many BAPS events this season.

Following the top two were Brock Zearfoss, Brian Montieth and Walker with Adrian Shaffer earning the Hard Charger Award coming from 16th to sixth over Kyle Reinhardt, Mark Smith, Kyle Moody and Glenndon Forsythe.

Heats were won by  Dietrich and Hodnett.

Edkin lined up 11th on the grid for the Super Sportsman main as Steve Fannasy held the point during the early laps.

Edkin’s march through the field was impressive, moving into the top five by the completion of lap two and was racing third with six laps complete.

Following a lap six restart, Chris Meleason and Edkin drove by Fannasy while Edkin made the race winning move on lap nine, driving under Meleason exiting the fourth turn.

Tony Jackson took second with 12 laps complete and appeared to have something for Edkin but after packing a wheel with mud, he never could mount a serious bid as Edkin drove off to score his fourth win of the year and strengthened his track point lead.

Jackson settled for the runner-up spot ahead of Scott Dellinger, Fannasy and Doug Dodson with Paul Miller coming from 19th to sixth ahead of Meleason, Russ Mitten, Hard Charger Mike Enders who started 24th and Gregg Foster.

Dellinger, Jackson and Dodson were heat winners for the 26-car field.

The next BAPS 410 Sprint Series event will be on Sunday, August 20 when the Arctic Cat All Star Circuit of Champions invade the York Haven oval for the Justin Snyder Salute to the Troops event. The PA Sprint Series/IMCA Sprints will join the All Stars on the fifth event of the season for the BAPS Sprint Series.

Susquehanna Speedway returns to action this Saturday, July 22  with the K1 Race Gear Summer Series for the 358 Sprint cars. The Morgan Paving/Aqua Fun Pools Street Stocks and Superior Homes Extreme Stocks fill out the racing program which will also be ARCH (Auto Racing Club of Hagerstown) Night. Race time is 7PM.

Sparks is also a two time winner at Fonda in the CRSA 305 sprint car.

SMITH, MATTERN, SNOOK & BUSSEY TAKE WINS ON JEFF’S AUTO BODY & RECYCLING DRIVER & FAN APPRECIATION NIGHT!

BIG PROMOTIONAL NIGHT MET WITH GREAT CROWD, COMPETITIVE RACING ON RECORD-SETTING SURFACE!

The ninth annual Jeff’s Auto Body & Recycling Center Driver & Fan Appreciation Night Saturday at Selinsgrove Speedway offered plenty of giveaways for race fans, FREE child and student general admission plus bonus money for the top three finishers in the 360 sprint cars, late models, pro stocks, and roadrunners.

The special night did not disappoint. A large crowd witnessed some of the best racing of the season on a great racing surface that produced plenty of wheel-to-wheel racing and a new 25-lap track record by Hayes Mattern of Beavertown in the super late model main event.

In the thrilling 360 sprint car main event, Adam Carberry was trading slidejobs in lap traffic with Mark Smith with Eric Tomecek lurking in the wings. Young Carberry had just secured the top spot with four to go from Smith off turn two when his car made hard contact with the outside wall ending his bid for his first Selinsgrove Speedway win.

Smith, who started tenth, timed his restart perfect to break away from Tomecek on his was to his third win of the season. Tomecek was second followed by point leader Davie Franek who started 12th on the racy half-mile surface.

Chad Layton earned a hard fought fourth place run after being involved in an early race accident. Nate Snyder came from 18th to finish fifth. Kevin Nouse was sixth across the line followed by Larry Kelleher, Ryan Higgins, Nyle Berkes, and Ryan Kissinger.

Brett Michalski, Adam Carberry, and Eric Tomecek won Sprint Car heat races.

In your best Tom Carnegie voice, "It's a new track record!" for Hayes Mattern in the Jeff's Auto body Super Late Models. It was Kenny Trevitz out front for the first half of the feature before Mattern moved to the lead on lap 11. Mattern had to maneuver through lap traffic while Trevitz and Jeff Rine dueled for the second spot. Rine soon secured the second spot and began to catch Mattern for the lead.

Mattern kept the advantage over one second for the remainder of the event on his way to his third win of the season in the Late Models. Rine was second followed by Trevitz, 11th starting Gene Knaub, and Bryan Bernheisel.

Steve Campbell, Tony Adams, Donnie Schick, Dave Stamm, and Meade Hahn were the top ten finishers.

Late Model heat races were won by Kenny Trevitz and Steve Campbell.

Kurt Wray broke away from a six car, race long battle for the second spot. Wray went unchallenged for much of the A&A Auto Stores Pro Stock feature. Curtis Lawton held second for a majority of the race before Dustin Snook snuck by. Snook started in 16th.

Tommy Slanker moved into third when Curtis Lawton and Shaun Lawton both made contact with the outside wall on the final laps of the race. AJ Hoffman was also able to get by for fourth.

After post race inspection was complete Wray's car was deemed illegal and Snook was awarded the victory. It was his first in the Pro Stock class.

Slanker was second followed by Hoffman, Shaun Lawton, and Curtis Lawton. Peanut Heintzelman finished in sixth. Seventh through tenth spots went too Bill Conrad, John Troxell, Wayne Shaffer, and Jake Buck.

Pro Stock heat winners were Shaun Lawton and Kyle Bachman.

Bob Bussey led the whole race for the Roadrunners on Saturday night on his way to his third win of the season. Bussey held off point leader Will Brunson just past half way. Bussey's win came over Ken Scheffler, Smith Cope, Tom Underwood, and Kyle Kissinger.

Will Brunson and Keith Bissinger took checkered flags in Roadrunner heats.

Next Saturday night the 360 Sprints will be joined by the Pro Stocks, Roadrunners, and the Moonshine Camo Route 35 Challenge Series for the Super Late Models. It is also Sunbury Eagle Club night. Racing begins at 7:30.

FORSYTHE PILOTS WISNER FAMILY #2W TO FOURTH CAREER WIN IN LINCOLN 410 SPRINTS

Criswell cruises to super sportsman win; Chaney wins second straight in Central PA Legends

ABBOTTSTOWN, PA – July 15, 2017 – York’s Glenndon Forsythe added his name to the 2017 Lincoln winner’s list by claiming the John Gleim Excavating 25-lap feature for 410 sprint cars on Saturday night. Handicapping placed Forsythe on the outside of Dwayne Gutshall on the front row for the start. He grabbed the lead entering the first turn and led every lap.

“Obviously, starting spot means a lot, but this is a brand new chassis tonight,” said Forsythe upon exiting the Wisner family Dynatech Controls/Livingston Lawn Care #2W in victory lane, “We struggled and struggled with the other one. Art’s not with us anymore, but we’re still using his set-ups. We appreciate everything he’s done for us. I want to dedicate this one to my buddy Jimmy Walker. We weren’t able to get it done in his car, but this one’s for you, buddy.”

Though he led the entire way, lapped traffic and handicapped cars coming up through the field closed the gap over the final laps. A lead of 5.63 seconds on lap 10 was cut to 2.06 seconds at the end. Steve Owings ran second the entire way.

“I knew we were setting a pretty good pace. I hooked the wall going into one the one lap, and struggled getting around the 69 car. Tim Glatfelter was getting around good, and I knew those other guys were going pretty good. Our pace was good, and I didn’t want to get too crazy and out of shape unless I saw somebody. I just needed to get back to the top and roll around there.”

Eleventh-starting Brian Montieth finished third after a lengthy battle with Cory Haas and Danny Dietrich over the second half of the race. Those three swapped spots several times, with Dietrich crossing fourth and Haas settling for fifth.

Sixth through tenth were Freddie Rahmer, Jim Siegel, Chase Dietz, Gerard McIntyre, Jr., and Gutshall.

Heats for the 24 “410” Sprinters were won by Dietz, McIntyre, and Forsythe.

Martinsville, West Virginia’s Chad Criswell raced to his third career Lincoln win in the 25-lap super sportsman feature. Criswell started fifth and got around Rich Eichelberger on lap three. He caught polesitter and race-long leader Frankie Herr for the lead on lap 11 and dominated the rest of the way, crossing 2.94 seconds ahead of Mike Enders, who got by Herr on lap 18.

Herr, Kenny Edkin, and Paul Miller completed the top five.

Heats for the 18 Super Sportsman were won by Russ Mitten and Criswell.

Mason Chaney started on the pole and led every lap of the 20-lap Central PA Legends feature despite race-long pressure from Bob Stough and late-race pressure from Scott Houdeshell and Harlon Leppo, who joined the chase but settled for third and fourth. Lucas Montgomery finished fifth.

It was Chaney’s second straight Lincoln win and the third of his Lincoln career.

Heats for the 30 Central PA Legends were won by Chaney, Stough, and Cody Haines, with Alex Robinson winning the consolation.

Lincoln Speedway will be dark next Saturday night, July 22nd with Williams Grove headlining the weekend action with the Annual Summer Nationals.

Lincoln will be back in action the following Saturday night, July 29th, with David Webb Tool Company Night AND ARCH Night featuring the 410 Sprints, 358 Sprints, and 358 Late Models.
