SHOCK & AWE FROM BRIAN MONTIETH IN NON-STOP 410 FEATURE AT TRAIL-WAY; Brad Weber holds off Tyler Walton in 600cc micro-sprints

HANOVER, PA (8/27/2017) – Phoenixville’s Brian Montieth took home all the marbles in Sunday night’s Second Annual Armin Hostetter Memorial for 410 sprint cars at Trail-Way Speedway.

In addition to claiming the $3,500 top prize, Montieth also won the Beer Hill Gang’s $350 bonus as the event’s hard charger and the $1,000 bonus for winning the Lincoln/Susquehanna/Trail-Way tri-track “Shootout” for 410 sprint cars, a total of $4,850 in prize money for the night.

“I didn’t see this place ‘til a little while ago,” said Montieth upon exiting the Jerry Parrish owned Premier Auto Works/Auto Locator/Beer Hill Gang #21 in victory lane, “and it’s a racey little place.”

It was Montieth’s second-ever run at Trail-Way, finishing one position better than his runner-up finish to Brent Marks last year.

Young upstart Landon Myers of York drew the pole for the 29-lap event run in memory of the late Bob Weikert, and led the first eight laps before third-starting Danny Dietrich took the lead on lap nine.  Montieth, who started sixth, drove under Myers for second on lap ten and quickly closed on Dietrich as they raced through heavy lapped traffic.

Montieth then drove around both a lapped car and low-riding Dietrich to take the lead in turns three and four of lap 13, and led the rest of the way for his first career Trail-Way win.

“It’s a lot of fun here, and it’s easy to drive when the car is right,” said Montieth, “It’s a lot of fun here.”

Dietrich settled for second, with Lucas Wolfe third, Myers holding on for fourth, and Dwayne Gutshall fifth.  They were the only five cars on lead lap at the end of the non-stop event.

Sixth through tenth were Cory Haas, Zach Euculano, Gerard McIntyre, Jr., Dwight Leppo, and Glenndon Forsythe.

The entire night was caution-free for the super sprints, with McIntyre, Forsythe, and Dietrich winning the qualifying events for the 19 cars in attendance.  McIntyre’s heat win established a new 10-lap track record of 2 minutes, 17.75 seconds, breaking the old track record held by Fred Rahmer (2:18.96).  Two of the three heats were faster than the previous track record.

With the win, Montieth also claimed the Lincoln/Susquehanna/Trail-Way tri-track “Shootout,” with Cory Haas, Glenndon Forsythe, and Kyle Moody finishing second through fourth in the three-track series.

Bradley Weber withstood heavy late-race pressure from Tyler Walton to win the 20-lap 600cc micro-sprint feature. Garrett Bard, Kameron Morral and Zane Rudisill completed the top five.

Weber started sixth and grabbed the lead from polesitter and race-long leader Jim Radney on lap six and led the rest of the way.  Walton moved into second when Radney dropped from the field on lap eight, and pulled onto Weber’s back bumper when the caution flew for Darren Kauffman, who came to a stop with two laps to go.

The two were side-by-side as they raced under the white flag, but Weber was able to hold Walton off over the final lap for the two-carlength win.

Heat winners for the 18 micros were Walton and Jesse Snyder.



This Friday, September 1, Trail-Way returns with the 358 Sprint Cars in the conclusion of the Trail-Way/Lincoln Shootout. Also on the schedule will be the Mason Dixon 270 Micro Sprints, Street Stocks and Limited Stocks. This will be the final point race of the 2017 racing season for the Limited Stocks. Gates open at 5:30 p.m., with heats scheduled to begin at 7:45 p.m.

CARBERRY, FRYE, HOFFMAN & BUSSEY TAKE WINS ON FOSS JEWELERS CHAMPIONSHIP NIGHT

Franek, Mattern, Adams, Slanker, Brunson & Bissinger Take Point Titles 

Foss Jewelers Championship Night at Selinsgrove Speedway Saturday produced some of the most exciting racing of the season, and the night was a roller coaster ride for several drivers in the hunt for track titles in the final points races of the season for the 360 sprint cars, super late models, pro stocks, and roadrunners.

Adam Carberry had a heartbreak moment a few weeks ago when a part broke while he was leading the 360 Sprint Car feature event. Carberry worked into lap traffic on lap eight while Michael Walter closed in on Carberry’s rear bumper in Saturday night’s 25-lap main event.

Carberry received an open race track when the yellow flag came out for Justin Whittall on lap nine. Carberry again broke away from the field while Walter and Cody Keller battled for the runner up spot.

Keller made a split-second decision to dive to the inside when Walter got stuck behind a lap car and grabbed the second spot. Keller began to close in on Carberry over the next few laps. Keller made up a lot of ground when Carberry got stuck behind a lap car with two to go.

Keller never got close enough to make the move as Carberry crossed the line for his first win at Selinsgrove Speedway and his first 360 Sprint Car win.

Carberry, Keller, Walter, Jason Shultz, and Eric Tomecek were the top five. Chad Layton, 2017 Mach 1 Chassis 360 sprint car points champion Davie Franek, Ryan Kissinger, Derek Locke, and Colby Womer rounded out the top ten.

Carberry and Kissinger were heat race winners for the 360 Sprinters.

Coleby Frye dominated the 25-lap Super Late Model feature event. Frye led from the front row while Jeff Rine charged from eighth to run second.

Rine closed in on Frye while he tried to make his way through lap traffic. Frye made the winning move in turns one and two when he made a three-wide pass in heavy traffic that Rine wasn’t able to make to remain in striking distance.

Once Frye cleared the traffic he was on track for the victory. At the finish, he crossed the line ahead of Rine, Dylan Yoder, Chad Hollenback, and Tony Adams.

Hayes Mattern finished sixth ahead of Dave Stamm, Kenny Trevitz, Kyle Rhoads, and Patrick Bryner.

Tony Adams was running fourth when the white flag was displayed. The spot was enough for him to win the championship. Hollenback passed Adams on the final corner to finish fourth and push Adams to fifth. With Mattern’s sixth-place finish he and Adams tied for the Jeff’s Auto Body & Recycling Center late model points championship.

AJ Hoffman and Brad Mitch gave the fans a thrilling end to the points paying season in the 15-lap A&A Auto Stores Pro Stock feature event. Hoffman led the feature race while Mitch pressured him. On one restart Hoffman got out of shape, but made a fantastic save.

On the next restart Mitch again began to challenge the leader. Hoffman, this time, would hang on to the top spot and start to pull away. Point leader Tommy Slanker moved into third and settled there over the final few laps allowing Mitch to continue his focus on the race leader.

Hoffman held on to grab his 48th career Selinsgrove Speedway win came over Mitch, Slanker, AJ Stroup, and Matt Hornberger.

Noah Jenson was sixth across the checkered flag ahead of Jake Buck, John Troxell, Wayne Shaffer, and Nick Gentile.

John Troxell, Kurt Wray, and Kyle Bachman won the heat races for the Pro Stocks.

The Collier Paving and Construction Roadrunner 20 led things off in the feature race line up on Saturday. Bob Bussey led much of the event while Keith Bissinger challenged him. Both drivers were previous winners of the big event. No one had ever won the race two times.

Bissinger put it all on the line on lap 14 when he dove to the inside of Bussey trying to take the victory. Bissinger slid up and tagged Bussey then spun to the inside of the track.

On the first lap point leader Will Bruson was involved in a wreck in turn one taking him out of the event. The fate of the championship sat in the hands of the now spun Bissinger who came into the night second in points.

Bussey’s race wasn’t over because Bissinger had to tag the back of the pack. Ryan Zook kept Bussey honest of the last six laps. Bussey held on to become the first two-time winner of the Roadrunner 20 that was worth $1,000. Zook was second followed by Brian Johnson, Michael Smith, and Tyler Amtower.

Bissinger finished sixth with Butch Shaffer, Tom Underwood, Dennis Conrad, and Brian Mabus in the top ten.

Bissinger originally crossed the line in seventh place which was enough for Brunson to claim the title. After the fifth place finisher came up light at the scale, Bissinger was credited with sixth. The bump up in points was enough for Bissinger to tie Brunson for the roadrunner points title.

Ben Leister, Jason Davis, and Corey Collier were the heat race winners for the Roadrunner 20.

Race night sponsor Foss Jewelers, located on Route 522 in Selinsgrove, has been serving friends and customers all across the central Pennsylvania region with affordable, high quality jewelry backed with unsurpassed customer service since 1949.

Dan Foss, now the sole proprietor of Foss Jewelers, sponsors the gold championship rings that will be presented to each of the track’s divisional champions at the awards banquet Saturday, Nov. 11, at the Genetti Hotel in Williamsport. Banquet tickets are on sale now for $35 each for adults and $15 for kids ages 5-12.

Two of the four track championships Saturday night ended in a points tie, marking only the fourth and fifth times in Selinsgrove Speedway history.

Davie Franek clinched the Mach 1 Chassis 360 sprint car title, Tommy Slanker won the A&A Auto Stores pro stock title, the Jeff's Auto Body & Recycling Center super late model title chase ended in a points tie between

Hayes Mattern and Tony Adams, and the Collier Paving & Construction roadrunner championship ended in a points tie between Will Brunson and Keith Bissinger.

The last points championship tie at the track occurred in 2000 between 410 sprint car drivers Todd Shaffer and Keith Kauffman. The sprint car division also had a championship tie in 1964 between Dick Tobias and Leroy Felty. The late model division's only other title tie was in 1980 between Dale Kerstetter and Bob Smith.

Next weekend marks a two-race weekend over the Labor Day holiday at Selinsgrove Speedway!

The final 360 sprint car race of the year will be a 30-lap co-sanctioned event with the United Racing Club and Patriot Sprint Tour paying $3,000 to win and $300 to start Saturday, Sept. 2. The pro stocks and roadrunners will each run championship races.

Over the Labor Day Holiday weekend, Sunday, Sept. 3, the Craftsman World of Outlaws Late Model Series returns for the 40-lap, $8,000-to-win 19th annual Jeff’s Auto Body & Recycling Center Late Model National Open. The limited late models will share the racing card with the super late models.

Selinsgrove Speedway will close out the season Saturday, Sept. 16, with the $8,000-to-win Jim Nace Memorial 35th annual National Open for 410 sprint cars sanctioned by the Arctic Cat All Star Circuit of Champions. The 305 sprint cars, which were rained out on Aug. 19, have been rescheduled to join the 410 sprint cars at the track on Sept. 16.

DIETRICH EDGES MONTEITH IN ANOTHER LINCOLN 410 SPRINT CAR CLASSIC

Doug Hammaker makes last-lap pass for 358 sprint win; Bob Stough claims Central PA Legends feature win

ABBOTTSTOWN, PA – August 26, 2017 – It was another race for the ages at Lincoln Speedway Saturday night.

Danny Dietrich looked like he was on his way to a convincing win from his 11th starting spot after grabbing lead from polesitter and race-long leader Scott Fisher on the backstretch of lap 12 and dominating the next seven laps.

But enter 12th-starting and Lincoln points leader Brian Montieth.

A lap 19 red flag for a flipping Robbie Kendall, who turned over while trying to avoid a spinning Fisher in turns three and four Matt Campbell and Montieth in second and third for the restart and erased a three-second lead by Dietrich.

Montieth took the runner-up spot immediately after the restart, and set his sights on Dietrich with five laps to go.
He chased the seven-time Lincoln winner into lapped traffic with two laps to go, and actually drove around Dietrich for the lead in turns one and two of the last lap. Dietrich returned the favor the final turns for his 38th career Lincoln win and $3,769 top prize, which included a $200 bonus and a $200 hard-charger award from race sponsors McSherrystown Moose Lodge #720 and Lawrence’s Body Shop, and a $169 bonus in memory of Chris Glatfelter on the anniversary of his passing.

“I knew I wasn’t very good. It seemed like after the red…we ran a right rear that we ran 10 or 14 laps in the feature at the Grove last night,” said Dietrich in victory lane, “It just felt like it was going away. I kept getting tight in the left rear and was just overdriving the car. I reached for the wing trying to move it forward and there was no more ‘forward’ to go, so I knew I was going to be in trouble and it was a matter of hanging on.”

“I made a bad move there going into one and he drove around me and I just thought I’d better go to the top because I didn’t figure he was going to follow anybody on the top going into three,” said Dietrich in describing the final lap, “I figured I’d take my shot and go there. I ran front bumper into (Dwayne) Gutshall just to make sure there wasn’t any gap for him to get into.”

“Sometimes you’re that good that early that you worry that maybe you’re too good too early,” continued Dietrich, “I think that was the case tonight. Brian’s car came in good and he’s always tough, especially when you get to racing hard like we did there that last lap. I knew he had to be on me before that, but I couldn’t roll the cushion with the left rear too tight and I had to roll out of the throttle. Glad to be standing here to get a win for this team.”

Campbell settled for third, with defending track champ Alan Krimes and Freddie Rahmer fifth. Sixth through tenth were Brandon Rahmer, Cory Haas, Chad Trout, Tim Wagaman, and Gerard McIntyre, Jr.

Heats for the 25 “410” Sprints on hand were won by Montieth, Glenndon Forsythe, and McIntyre.


Doug Hammaker came from ninth starting spot to make a last-lap pass and score the win in the fourth leg of the five-race K1 Race Gear 358 Sprint Car Summer Series event.

It looked like 12th-starting Chase Dietz, who had a four-second lead with five laps to go, was well on his way to the win before he suddenly slowed on the front stretch with a flat tire, as did third-place Jack Eldreth at the same time, bringing out the caution on lap 24. That handed the lead over to Troy Wagaman, Jr., who came from 17th starting spot, with Hammaker right behind.

On the restart, Wagaman held Hammaker off on lap 24, but Hammaker made the race-winning pass going into turns one and two of the final lap. Jeff Halligan, who came from the rear after an early-race spin, also drove under Wagaman in turn two of the final lap and finished second, with Wagaman settling for third, Tyler Ross fourth, and Cody Fletcher fifth.

Sixth through tenth were 21st-starting Kyle Denmyer, 23rd-starting Chris Frank (the hard charger), 22nd-starting Steve Drevicki, 24th-starting Trey Hivner, and point leader Adrian Shaffer, who came back through the field following a 13th-lap spin.

Heats for the 34 “358” Sprints on hand were won by Jake Eldreth, Jon Stewart, Kody Hartlaub, and Nyle Berkes, with Kyle Denmyer winning the consolation.

Bob Stough out-dueled three-time winner Mason Chaney to score his first win of the year in the 20-lap Central PA Legends feature. Stough took advantage of a 12-car inversion to start fourth in the feature, and wrestled the lead away from Chaney on lap 13. He led the rest of the way, with Lucas Montgomery catching Chaney on the final lap to finish second. Fourth and fifth behind Chaney were Travis McClelland and Donnie Leiby, in his best-ever Lincoln finish.

Stough’s win completed his return from an early-second injury (broken wrist). It was his eighth career Lincoln Legends win.

Heats for the 31 Central PA Legends were won by Hayden Pascoe, Chad Earnst, and Montgomery, with Scott Smith winning the consolation.

Next Saturday September 2nd at 7:30 PM Lincoln Speedway will hold the BOB LEIBY MEMORIAL for the 410 Sprints paying $4,000 to win in their final point race for the 2017 racing season. The 358 Sprints and Central PA Legends will round out the evening’s racing action and capped-off with a spectacular FIREWORKS display. Gates will open at 5:30 PM.

JONESTOWN JET ZEARFOSS SETS 25-LAP TRACK RECORD, TAKES THIRD PORT MAIN IN A ROW

Andy Haus scores first late model win of season, Garman and Miller also win
Port Royal – In track record time, Brock Zearfoss of Jonestown completed a sweep of the month of August at Port Royal Speedway on Saturday night by claiming his third 410 sprint car main in a row.

Zearfoss started eighth in the field to record the $3,200 payday and set himself up to launch into the most lucrative week of the season at the track as the Juniata County Fair Races loom.

In the 22-lap super late model main, defending track champion Andy Haus of Hamburg scored his first win of the season after early leader Austin Berry was sidelined.

Derrick Garman took the win in the 18-lap econo late model main and Jeff Miller scored the 305 sprint feature to close out the night.

Polesitter Jared Esh blasted into the lead at the start of what would be the non-stop, 25-lap 410 sprint car feature, chased by Daryl Stimeling and fifth starter Blane Heimbach.

Esh was blistering the track early in the Ehrenzeller No. 33 and was way ahead of Heimbach when the Selinsgrove pilot drove into second on the second tour.

It took until lap four for Zearfoss to blast into third and begin racing for the top spots.

With a 2.819 second lead, Esh of Lancaster entered the backmarkers on the eighth tour as he circled the outside of the speedway with Heimbach and Zearfoss in pursuit.

By lap 11, Heimbach had cut Esh’s lead down to 1.156 seconds as both he and Zearfoss battled for the second spot.

With 10 laps to go, Esh’s advantage had all but evaporated, now down to .48 seconds amid traffic and a lap later, Zearfoss pulled the trigger on Heimbach for second with a move in the third and fourth turns.

It took Zearfoss just two more laps to run down Esh and bolt into the lead before driving away and Heimbach then took the second spot with five laps to go.

Indeed the front trio was fleet in command of the field with three-quarters of a lap separating the third place car of Esh from the fourth place machine of Daryl Stimeling during the final circuits.

Zearfoss’ margin of victory over Heimbach was 1.069 seconds, followed by a career best third place finish for Esh.

Daryl Stimeling was fourth followed by Carl Bowser,

Sixth through 10th went to Lucas Wolfe, AJ Flick, TJ Stutts, Dylan Cisney and Trenton Sheaffer.

Heats went to Sheaffer and Zearfoss.

With the non-stop run, Zearfoss set a new 25-lap track record of 7:22.973, shaving some 10 seconds off of the old mark held by Brent Marks.

Second starter Austin Berry of Nook took the lead at the beginning of the super late model main with Chris Casner giving chase while Andy Haus started sixth in the field.

Devin Friese, who started fourth, motored into second with four laps away but Haus was close behind.

Haus made his move of the race on the 11th lap when he threaded the needle entering the third corner to get by Friese for the second spot.

Meanwhile, Berry was running the ragged cushion and after a clout of the outside second turn wall a few laps earlier, a second hit of the wall at the same spot cost him control on the 13th tour as he pulled pitside.

This handed control to Haus who drove away easily to the victory, taking the checkers by 4.344 seconds over Friese.

Third place went to Tim Wilson, followed by Gene Knaub and Mike Lupfer.

Sixth through 10th went to Matt Parks, Chris Casner, Jason Schmidt, Tim Smith Jr. and Scott Flickinger.

Heats went to Haus and Smith Jr.

Shaun Miller of Tower City led the first two laps of the econo late model main before fifth starter Derrick Garman took the lead that he would hold to the finish.

Miller eventually faded to finish fourth while Tim Fedder advanced to finish second after starting in the fifth spot.

Andrew Stotler was third with JR Toner rounding out the top five finishers.

Heats went to Harold Ranck Jr. and Fedder.

Jeff Miller took the lead from Scott Ellerman on the sixth lap of the 18 lap 305 sprint main but Ellerman refused to give up, challenging Miller all the way to the finish.

Ellerman repeatedly stabbed at the lead with low side moves, sometimes even taking control only to see Miller use his cushion groove to blast back around and reclaim command.

Miller ended up with this third oval win of the season, taking the win by a small margin of .613 seconds over Ellerman.

Cale Reigle finished third followed by Tyler Reeser and Ken Duke Jr.

Heats went to Miller, Reigle and Dave Grube.

SCOTT DELLINGER PULLS AWAY FOR THIRD SUSKY WIN

Bllet First Time Winner while Hoffer and McClane Repeat Winners

By Brad Vores for Susquehanna Speedway

YORK HAVEN, PA…8/26/17

Scott Dellinger made it look relatively easy as he drove to his third win of the season in Saturday night’s 25-lap Credit Connection Auto Sales Super Sportsman feature at Susquehanna Speedway.

Aboard his Dellinger Auto Body, Reesers Soft Serve Ice Cream, AAI Recycling, G. A Smith Towing No. 30, the Lewisberry driver came from his eighth starting spot and held on during numerous cautions and a long red flag to take the win. Dellinger’s second win in the last month also put him on top of the track point lead as the series heads into the final stretch of the season.

Eight time champion Frankie Herr set the pace from his pole starting spot and would hold the lead until his bid for his first win ended when he slowed on the speedway with five laps complete.

Jay Fannasy and Dellinger both got around Nate Young on the restart as Fannasy led lap six before Dellinger made a bold move to take the top spot with seven laps in the books.

As Dellinger pulled away, last week’s winner Russ Mitten and five time track winner Kenny Edkin were working their way to the front.

The race was halted on a lap 14 restart as five cars crashed on the front stretch. The cars of Garrett Williamson and Tom Wyckoff both flipped while Gregg Foster walked to the ambulance after taking a hard hit.

Dellinger quickly pulled away on the restart as Mitten pulled a slider to steal second spot from Fannasy with 16 laps in and attempted to track down the leader. But it was all Dellinger over the final nine circuits as he cruised to a 3.026 margin of victory for his fifth career Susquehanna win.

Mitten held off Edkin for the runner-up finish with Doug Dodson coming from 13th to finish fourth to earn the Artwerks Hard Charger over Fannasy with Paul Miller crossing sixth ahead of Chris Meleason, Mike Enders, Rich Eichelberger and Davey Walsh.

Heats for the 26 Super Sportsman were won by Herr, Young and Miller.

The 25-lap Bernheisel Race Cars 358 Late Model main got off to a rough start as a five car pileup, which saw the car of JR Rodriguez land on its side quickly brought out a red flag.

After the cleanup, front row starter Chase Billet grabbed the lead and would never look back in capturing his first win of the season and becoming the ninth different winner this year.

Justin Weaver chased Billet the entire distance but was unable to make the pass and settled for second ahead of Randy Stoudt, point leader and 10th starter Randy Christine, Jr. and 12th starter Sam Rial.

Matt Murphy earned the Artwerks Hard Charger award coming from 14th to sixth ahead of Eric Hohol, Sean Merkel, Jake Moser and Tim Murphy.

Stoudt and Weaver were heat race winners for the 17 BRC 358 Late models.

Joey Hoffer led flag to flag to pick up his division leading third win of the season in the Morgan Paving/Aqua Fun Pools Street Stock feature.

Despite six cautions, including one on the final lap, Hoffer prevailed over ninth starter Craig Morgan, Randy Zechman, Ryan Smith and Jim Palm with Matt Adams, Jimmy Combs, Brandon Wanner, Scott Thunberg and Carl Graves. Graves won the Artwerks/Ricky Bobby Hard Charger after lining up 20th.

Hoffer, Mike Buckley and Zechman won heats for the 28 Street Stocks.

Patrick McClane took the lead on the third lap of the 20-lap Superior Homes Extreme Stock feature and raced to his fourth win of the year and second straight checkered flag.

Early leader Donnie Broderick was second over Travis Horan, point leader Alex Updegraff and John Frye. Updgraff was the Artwerks Hard Charger after starting seventh.

Broderick was the lone heat race winner for the 11 Extreme Stocks.

Susquehanna Speedway kicks off the month of September with a Saturday September 2nd show on Tyson Fence Night as the Credit Connection Auto Sales Super Sportsman, Freedmont® Mortgage Lending PASS/IMCA 305 Sprints, Bernheisel Race Cars 358 Late Models (Precise Series), Morgan Paving/Aqua Fun Pools Street Stocks and the PENNMAR Cars make up the racing card.  Race time is 7PM.

There will be a Test N’ Tune at the speedway on Wednesday night, August 30 from 6-PM.

Buckwalter And Keller Wire Williams Grove Sprint Fields For Wins


 Mechanicsburg – Steve Buckwalter and Cody Keller wired the sprint car fields for victories on Friday night at Williams Grove Speedway, in the 410 and 358 sprint car divisions, respectively.

Buckwalter started second in the field to lead every lap of the 25-circuit main event for the 410 sprint cars.

His pace was slowed only once, on the fifth lap when the red flag appeared for a fire on the machine of Eric Tomecek.

For the restart, Kody Lehman chased Buckwalter but fifth starter Cory Haas moved into the second spot on the 13th tour just as the leader entered the backmarkers.

Eighth starter Brock Zearfoss followed Haas and took third one lap later.

Although Zearfoss took his shots at Haas, it was Haas who tried to spoil Buckwalter’s party late in the race.

Haas steadily drove down Buckwalter’s advantage, shaving a full second off of his lead from lap 17 to lap 20.

However during the final circuits, Buckwalter was again able to stretch out his advantage to 1.277 seconds at the finish.

Haas shot low across the third and fourth turns repeatedly during the late going trying to stick with Buckwalter but instead rode home second.

The victory was the eighth of Buckwalter’s career at Williams Grove Speedway.

Zearfoss crossed the line in third followed by Lucas Wolfe and Freddie Rahmer.

Sixth through 10th went to Alan Krimes, Kody Lehman, Anthony Macri, Brian Montieth and Rick Lafferty.

Heats went to Nicole Bower, Lafferty and Wolfe.

Keller of Selinsgrove ran the ragged edge and sometimes over it to pick up his first career 358-sprint victory at the speedway.

After starting second in the field, Keller would lead all 25 laps of the K1 RaceGear Summer Series main event to take home a $1,500 payday.

However the Snyder County pilot nearly gave the win away on several occasions when he jumped the cushion at both ends of the speedway.

The initial lap of the 358 sprint main was halted for an eight-car melee in the third turn that saw at least two cars flip.

No injuries were reported however.

Keller entered the backmarkers on the ninth tour of the event, chased by Brett Wanner and Phil Walter.

However one-time 2017 winner Kevin Nouse was on the move through the top-five and eventually worked his way into second with a pair of laps to go.

And by that time, Keller was losing ground and hopping the cushion repeatedly, creating a closer finish at the end than perhaps would have developed otherwise.

Nouse rode home second behind an exciting performance by Keller, followed by Wanner, Chad Trout and Troy Wagaman Jr.

Sixth through 10th went to Steve Owings, Chase Dietz, Phil Walter, Chris Frank and Brent Shearer.

Heats went to Walter, Keller, Nouse and Nyle Berkes with Denny Gross scoring the consolation race.

Jordan Thomas Picks Up First Capitol Renegade United Racing Club Win

For the second straight week, the Capitol Renegade United Racing Club found a first-time winner at the end of the feature event. Jordan Thomas lead all 25 laps en route to his first URC triumph with the 70 yr old club.

With a field of 21 cars on hand at the Orange County Fair Speedway, three heat races were determined to set the lineup for the 25-lap feature event. Heat race wins went to the 22 of Troy Betts who picked up his first heat race win of 2017 and finally had some luck go his way. Heat race 2 win went to the 67w of Justin Whittall who showed his rookie season for cruising to the heat race win. Finally, heat race three win went to the 79 of Jordan Thomas.

With this being a combined show with the Patriot Sprint Tour, the redraw was created by the top 9 in passing points. Jordan Thomas drew the pole and Scott Flammer drew the outside pole for the feature event. Also in the redraw was the 33b of Bill Unglert, 22 of Troy Betts, 5G of Curt Michael, 67w of Justin Whittall, the 89 of Robbie Stillwaggon who drove from 7th to 2nd in his heat race and the 56c of Chris Coyle.

With the 81 of Derek Jonathan not making the call, the 79 of Thomas and the 1F of Flammer lead the 20 car field to the green flag. Multiple tries were used and once one lap was down the field went single file. Chris Coyle had a flat tire, the 4 of Jimmy Stitzel pulled in with motor issues and the 30 of Scott Goodrich showed some damage on his nose wing all before the feature we 4 laps old.

With the lap 4 restart, Thomas continued to gain control with Flammer close behind. By the end of lap 4, the 5G of Curt Michael was up to 4th and pressuring the 33b of Unglert. By lap 11, the 5G of Michael overtook Unglert for the 3rd position and just 1 lap later Patriot Sprint Leader Jared Zimbardi pulled into the pit area after running 7th from his 11th starting position.

By lap 18, the 5 of Curt Michael was into the 2nd position but was a full 8 seconds behind the leader Thomas who by this time was navigating traffic at a torrid pace. By lap 22, the 5G of Curt Michael was feeling pressure from young hot shoe Justin Whittall after Whittall passed the 1 of Flammer a few laps earlier.

Thomas lead the 35-lap feature wire to wire and picked up his first United Racing Club win, following Thomas to the line was the 5G of Curt Michael, 67w of Justin Whittall, 1F of Scott Flammer and the 33b of Bill Unglert who continues to show that he can run with the 360 elite.

URC Tidbits: This was Justin Whittall’s best 360 finish of his career. Davie Franek was not in attendance, electing to attend the Selinsgrove race. Derek Jonathan had a heartbreak of an evening, what looked with the engine and possibly a rear end let loose with the 81 leading heat race 1 and just 1 lap to go. Jonathan failed to make the call for the feature event. Michael continues to strengthen his lead towards a record 10th URC Championship. Chris Coyle had a good night go bad with a flat right rear tire just 2 laps into the feature event.

Up next for the United Racing Club, after a weekend off the Club will return to the Williams Grove Speedway on Friday September 1st, followed by Saturday night September 2nd at the Selinsgrove Speedway and rounding out the weekend at Path Valley Speedway on Sunday September 3rd.

Sprint Feature: 1) #79 Jordan Thomas, 2) #5G Curt Michael, 3) #67W Justin Whittall, 4) #1F Scott Flammer, 5) #33B Bill Unglert, 6) #89 Robbie Stillwaggon, 7) #47 Kyle Drum, 8) #22 Troy Betts, 9) #56 Billy VanInwegen, 10) #67 Steve Collins, 11) #10 Joe Kata, 12) #08 Jason Clauss, 13) #71 Chris Allen Jr, 14) #30 Scott Goodrich, 15) #1Q Thomas Radivoy, 16) #706 Mark Sasso, 17) #17Z Josh Azzi, 18) #35 Jared Zimbardi, 19) #4 Jimmy Stitzel, 20) #56C Chris Coyle

GREG HODNETT DOMINATES ALL STARS AT SUSQUEHANNA

Nick Sweigart Takes PASS IMCA 305 Sprint Win

By Brad Vores for Susquehanna Speedway

YORK HAVEN, PA…8/20/17
It had the makings of the last time the BAPS Coatings and Supplies 410 Sprint Series competed at Susquehanna Speedway when Greg Hodnett led all but the lap that counted.

Hodnett made sure that wasn’t the case in Sunday night’s Arctic Cat All Star Circuit of Champions Justin Snyder Salute to the Troops event as he dominated all 30 laps of the A-Main to close out the four-race All Star swing through Central Pennsylvania.

Hodnett’s win also gave the PA Posse four straight weekend wins over the All Stars but the win was the Spring Grove drivers first All Star triumph since June 2015.

Hodnett won the first Dash that put him on the pole for the $5,000 to win event but a quick caution for a multi car pileup on the second lap slowed the pace.

When the green replaced the yellow, Hodnett immediately pulled away from the field as fourth starting Lucas Wolfe moved into the runner-up spot.

Wolfe stayed within striking distance of Hodnett who worked his way through heavy lapped traffic starting on lap eight as the race stayed green until the 25th lap when officials thought Tyler Esh was going to stop and threw the yellow flag.

The yellow wiped out a near six-second advantage Hodnett had over the field and put Wolfe on his bumper for the restart.

Like the July race, Wolfe chased Hodnett until the final lap when he stole the win but Hodnett wasn’t able to let that happen this time as he pulled away from Wolfe over the final five circuits to become the first repeat winner in BAPS 410 Sprint action this season at Susquehanna.

Hodnett’s win in the Mike Heffner owned #27 was his fifth of the year in Central PA and came over Wolfe by nearly two seconds.

Lance Dewease finished third ahead of Anthony Macri and Brock Zearfoss with Tim Shaffer, Mark Smith, Danny Dietrich, Dale Blaney and Max Stambaugh completing the top ten finishers.

Ryan Smith paced the 36-car All Star field in time trials with a lap of 15.317 seconds to earn the $500 bonus from Emory Transmissions.

All Star heat races were won by Dewease, Zearfoss, Macri and Hodnett while Hodnett and Macri were the two Dash winners. Sammy Swindell won the B-Main.

Trey Starks picked up the $500 bonus from Brown and Miller Race Solutions for the Hard Charger. Starks started 23rd and finished 14th.

Like Hodnett, Nick Sweigart wired the field to post the win in the 20-lap Freedmont® Mortgage PASS/IMCA 305 Sprint car feature.

Starting on the pole, Sweigart dominated the event but two late race cautions kept things interesting at the front but it was Sweigart scoring his first win at the track ahead of Kyle Smith, Darren Miller, Austin Bishop and Kassidy Kreitz with 16th starter Dave Brown coming home sixth over Eddie Wagner, Zach Newlin, 21st starter Ken Duke, Jr. and John Scarborough.

Drew Ritchey, Scott Ellerman, Ian Detweiler and Darren Miller were heat race winners for the 37 Freedmont® Mortgage 305 Sprints. Ken Duke, Jr. and Greg Dobrosky were double consolation winners.

The next BAPS 410 Sprint Series event will be on Thursday night, September 21 when the 410 Sprints will be joined by the Central PA Legends. Race time will be 7PM.

Susquehanna Speedway returns to action Saturday night, August 26 on Hanover Auto Team Night featuring the Credit Connection Auto Sales Super Sportsman, Bernheisel Race Cars 358 Late Models, Morgan Paving/Aqua Fun Pools Street Stocks and Superior Homes Extreme Stocks. Race time is 7PM.

Zearfoss Races From 11th Spot In Sprints To Win Third Of Port Season / WORLD OF OUTLAWS STAR SHEPPARD WIRES FOR PORT ROYAL LATE MODEL WIN

Port Royal – World of Outlaws Late Model star Brandon Sheppart of New Berlin, Illinois, wired the field for a 40-lap, $10,000 victory at Port Royal Speedway on Saturday night in the series first return to the track since 2008.

 In the 410 sprint car main, Brock Zearfoss of Jonestown started 11th and weaved through the field in front to pick up his third oval win of the season.

 Zearfoss took home $3,500 including a $300 bonus for winning from the 11th starting spot.

 The racing program was delayed more than three hours thanks to rains that hit the track just as initial warm ups were being held at 6:30 pm.

 Brandon Sheppard claimed his 13th win of the season with the World of Outlaws Craftsman Late Model Series at Port Royal.

 “Hats off to my guys,” said Sheppard. “They work really hard on this thing to give me a good car. It started getting black there in the groove and we stayed a little bit freed up in the cushion there, so I think a little bit of an adjustment would’ve been better.”

 “It was a little treacherous out there but nothing fell off of the car so good job to the team. I owe it all to them guys.”

 Sheppard started on the outside of pole sitter, Tyler Erb, for the feature but quickly found his way around his fellow Rocket Chassis XR1 driver on the first lap.

A total of four caution flags and one red flag hampered Sheppard’s pace throughout the distance on the tacky track as the cushion built all around the oval.

 Erb was able to hold on to second for a few laps early before a caution fell on lap 3 for Matt Cosner who slowed on the track. The dixie double-file restart placed Jason Covert, who was running in third at the time, on the bottom and Erb on the top of the half-mile speedway as the field went back to green.

 Covert then made his move and successfully claimed second from the Outlaw young gun.

 Erb was holding a steady third position on the track while fending off charges from Devin Moran and Chris Madden for multiple laps. Unfortunately, bad luck continued to follow the No. 91 First Class Septic machine as he shredded his right rear tire on lap 26 which sidelined him for the remainder of the show.

 Due to Erb’s retirement from the shootout, Madden inherited the final podium position and began to work on catching Covert and Sheppard.

 During the last 10 laps of the feature, things began heating up between Sheppard and Covert as Sheppard’s advantage of 1.336 seconds was cut down to half a car length by lap 36.

 In fact, every time the pair would compete under extended green flag runs, Covert would steadily narrow the gap only to see his progress set back by another caution flag.

 On lap 37 as Covert honed in on Sheppard amid lapped traffic on the frontchute, the machine of Nick Dickson became collateral damage in the race while going a lap down.

 With Covert to his inside and Sheppard just ahead, Dickson was sent careening up and over the cushion in the first turn where he promptly dug in and flipped completely over before coming to rest against the top side guardrail.

 Although his ride took a toll, Dickson walked away uninjured from the red flag incident.

 After the restart, Sheppard pulled away from Covert and Madden’s grasp as he created a 1.836 difference between himself and the field before the finish.

 “Half-miles haven’t been my best tracks but my team has stuck behind me and they are really good support for me,” said Sheppard.

 “They put it all on me to get the job done and it’s been a big learning curve this year. I feel like we have made leaps and bounds on the half-miles so that’s good for me. Josh [Richards] was always good at [half-miles] so I had some big shoes to fill but I am getting better and I am hoping for a good rest of the season.”

 Heats went to Jeff Rine, Chris Madden, Sheppard and Covert with twin consolations going to Jared Miley and Dan Stone.

 Overall fast time in the 36-car field was set by Sheppard with a time of 17.589 seconds.

 Jeff Rine lowered the eight-lap track record in the first heat race before Chris Madden lowered his mark in the second heat, setting the new mark at 2:21.563.

 Although some drivers chose to give up on the sprint car event before it got started, Brock Zearfoss proved that passing was no problem in the 25-lap sprint car feature as he zipped from his sixth row starting spot to the win.

 Second starter Daryl Stimeling took the lead at the start as Nicole Bower gave chase with both Mike Wagner and Zearfoss moving through the field.

 Wagner raced into third from the ninth starting spot with eight laps complete but Zearfoss overtook him for the position just two laps later.

 With 13 tours completed Zearfoss blasted around Bower for second and set his sights on leader Stimeling and the battle for the lead unfolded.

 Zearfoss made an attempt underneath Stimeling in the first and second turns with 11 laps to go but Stimeling was stout on the cushion and pulled back in front as the pair raced onto the backchute.

 Zearfoss was regrouping for another stab at the lead with 10 to go when Sammy Swindell stopped on the frontstretch, bringing out the races only caution flag.

 “The Jonestown Jet,” Zearfoss struck for the lead on the restart when he blasted the bottom as the leaders entered the first corner to come up with control as the field shot off of the second corner.

 And then once in front, Zearfoss checked out on the field, opening up a half-lap advantage of 6.671 seconds over Stimeling by the finish.

 Mike Wagner wrestled third away from Bower during the last two laps with Bower settling for fourth and 16th starter and point leader Dylan Cisney finishing in fifth.

 Sixth through 10th went to Logan Wagner, Blane Heimbach, TJ Stutts, Joey Hershey and Trenton Sheaffer.

 Heats went to AJ Flick, Jared Esh and Stimeling.

RUSS MITTEN GETS THIRD WIN AT SUSQUEHANNA

Christine Scores Fourth LM Win While McClane Gets Third Extreme Win

By Brad Vores for Susquehanna Speedway

YORK HAVEN, PA…8/19/17

Russ Mitten’s third win of the season in Saturday’s 25-lap Credit Connection Auto Sales Super Sportsman feature at Susquehanna Speedway has turned the point battle heading into the final stretch of the season into a barnburner.

With Mitten’s win and Scott Dellinger’s runner-up finish coupled with leading winner Kenny Edkin’s first DNF of the season, the battle at the top is intense with 45 points separating the top three and just 150 separating the fourth place driver.

Mitten started ninth aboard his Newville Electrical Services, RPM Chassis and wasted little time in moving to the front as Tom Wyckoff led the first four laps before Timmie Barrick took over with five laps complete.

Barrick held the point until lap 10 when a caution flew.

On the restart, contact was made by Gregg Foster with Barrick, who then got into Tony Jackson, ending both of their good runs at the front.

Foster then took over before Mitten grabbed the top spot on lap 15 and then had to hold on through three yellows, including one with three laps to go before taking the checkered flag.

Mitten’s win, his 10th straight top 10 finish, moved him into a tie for the track point lead with Dellinger, who started 10th and finished in the runner-up spot Saturday night with Foster taking third ahead of Doug Dodson and 21st starter and Artwerks/Team 14 Hard Charger Paul Miller.

Completing the top ten finishers were Frankie Herr, Wyckoff, 15th starter Davey Walsh, Chad Smith and 18th starter Bruce Buckwalter, Jr.

Garrett Williamson,  Foster and Wyckoff won heats for the 26 Super Sportsman.

It was all Randy Christine, Jr. in the 20-lap Bernheisel Race Cars 358 Late Model feature as he led flag to flag for his fourth feature win of the year.

Christine started third and drove to the front at the start and drove off from the field to post the win over Chase Billet, Drew Weisser, ninth starter and ArtwerksHard Charger Sam Rial and Cory Merkel.

Heats for the 11 late models went to Cameron Benyou and Cory Merkel.

Patrick McClane came out on top of a side by side battle to capture his third win of the year in the 20-lap Superior Homes Extreme Stock feature.

McClane started fifth, took the lead from Alex Updegraff on lap 11 and held off last week’s winner Travis Horan for the win with Updegraff third over 12th starter and Artwerks Hard Charger Kyle Emig and Jeff Gill.

Brandon Staccone and Johnny Palm won heats for the 14 cars.

Roland Brown was the winner of the Classic Car Club feature over Neal Reamer,  Steve Clemo, Ron Grove and Chad Stine.

Susquehanna Speedway returns to action Saturday night, August 26 on Hanover Auto Team Night featuring the Credit Connection Auto Sales Super Sportsman, Bernheisel Race Cars 358 Late Models, Morgan Paving/Aqua Fun Pools Street Stocks and Superior Homes Extreme Stocks. Race time is 7PM.

FORSYTHE SCORES FIRST ARTIC CAT ALL-STAR WIN AT LINCOLN

CHANEY MAKES LAST TURN PASS TO EDGE MONTGOMERY IN CENTRAL PA LEGENDS
ABBOTTSTOWN, PA – August 19, 2017 – One thing can be said about Glenndon Forsythe’s first career All-Star Circuit of Champions win at Lincoln Speedway Saturday night. He earned it.

Forsythe joined Cory Haas on the front row of the 30-lap $5,000 to win feature by virtue of winning their respective dashes. Haas led the first lap, but Forsythe led the rest, holding several challengers through heavy lapped traffic, including a breathtaking move through three lapped cars to hold off Haas and Danny Dietrich through turns and four of lap 28.

“That’s Lincoln. If you race enough green flag laps here, you’re going to get to lapped traffic,” said a jubilant Forsythe in victory lane, “I need to get better at it, but I did enough to stay out front, and I still can’t believe we’re here tonight.”

The race-saving move came just before a caution for a stopped Tim Wagaman in turn four of lap 29, setting up a green-white-checkered finish. On the subsequent restart, Dietrich spun in turn two while trying to slide under Haas for second, with All-Star points leader Chad Kemenah assuming for the final restart.

“I saw the scoreboard there with Cory (Haas) and Danny (Dietrich)there. Cory had been there the whole race, so he wasn’t slackin’, and I was happy to see that yellow come out. I was terrible in lapped traffic, and I was falling out of the seat and needed break. I got the break when I needed it,” said Forsythe, “I can’t be happier for (car owner) Norm Wisner and this whole team. Sponsor Dynatech Controls had its company picnic out in the parking lot this afternoon, so I’m happy for that.”

Kemenah did catch Haas for second on the final restart when Haas slid high trying to get by Forsythe for the race lead and crossed a close second, with Haas settling for third, Freddie Rahmer fourth, and Matt Campbell fifth.
Sixth through tenth were 13th-starting Alan Krimes, Tim Shaffer, 18th-starting Robbie Kendall, Brian Montieth (who came from the rear after an early-race spin), and 21st-starting Anthony Macri.

Sprint heats were won by Shaffer, Ryan Smith, Dietrich, and Kemenah, with Chad Trout winning the B-Main. A pair of dashes were won by Haas and Forsythe, and fast time in time trials over the 40-car All Star Sprint field was set by Caleb Helms with a 1-lap time of 13.401-seconds (100.739 MPH).

Littlestown’s Mason Chaney made a last-turn pass on Lucas Montgomery and led the final 100 yards to score his third Lincoln win of the year and the fourth of his Lincoln career in the 20-lap Central PA Legends feature,

Chaney, who was credited with a win in his heat despite crossing backwards after tangling with Harlon Leppo at the end, started third. Scott Smith led the first four laps before yielding to fifth-starting Montgomery, who led until the final turn.
Chaney, who spun but kept going when Leppo again made contact with him in turns three and four of lap 13, assumed second for the restart and dogged Montgomery the rest of the way.

The race for the lead became a three-car battle when Hayden Pascoe joined the chase with four laps to go.

Chaney drove under Montgomery on the final turn to the checkered, with Montgomery settling for second and Pascoe third. 15-starting Bob Stough came on late to finish fourth, with Bill Diehl fifth.

Heats for the 28 Central PA Legends were won by Travis Perry, Smith, and Leppo, with Zachary Settle winning the consolation.

Next Saturday, August 26th, it will be the rescheduled McSherrystown Moose Lodge #720 Night and the second of two York County Racing Club Nights on the year. The 410 Sprints will be joined by the 358 Sprints in a “K1 RaceGear 358 Sprint Summer Series” event and the Central PA Legends. Gates open at 5:30 p.m., with racing action to get underway at 7:30 p.m

DANNY DIETRICH WINS JACK GUNN MEMORIAL AT WILLIAMS GROVE SPEEDWAY

MECHANCISBURG, PA – Danny Dietrich inherited the lead when Rico Abreu blew a tire and went on to win the Jack Gunn Memorial Friday night at Williams Grove Speedway beating the All Star Circuit of Champions Sprint cars.

His win in the Gary Kauffman sprinter was worth $5,000.

“It’s great,” said Dietrich. “I’m proud of my guys. It’s great to be standing here again. We’ve had a rough season here and this might turn it around. This isn’t my kind of race track, but we had a fast car all night long. We were pretty good on the bottom.”

Lucas Wolfe and Abreu shared the front row to start the 30-lap main event. They raced side-by-side down the frontstretch and into turn one. Abreu secured the lead as they raced off turn two.
Anthony Macri got high in turn four and Danny Dietrich drove into third and Sammy Swindell into fourth.

Abreu reached slower traffic with six laps completed.

The heavy lapped traffic allowed Wolfe and Dietrich to close on the leader. They were all over him, but couldn’t make the pass. Abreu squeezed in between a lapped car and the fence off turn two to maintain some space between himself and second. Dietrich, who started third, used an inside move off turn four to take second from Wolfe with nine laps completed.

Abreu continued to work by traffic eventually finding clear track again. Dietrich was slowly closing on the leader. Abreu blew a left rear tire in turn two and spun bringing out the caution with 18 laps completed.

“I was lucky enough to see it and get ready for it,” said Dietrich. “I wasn’t sure which way he was going to go. I’m glad I saw him when I did and I didn’t get into him and we were able to escape that.”
Dietrich assumed the lead and controlled the restart. Wolfe was running third, but had a left front flat tire as Greg Hodnett drove by.

Macri spun in turn one bringing out another caution with 11 to go. The red flag flew allowing crews to refuel. Dietrich drove away on the restart. He reached slower traffic and Swindell closed. He jumped the cushion in turn four trying to lap Caleb Helms. He was able to make the pass and gain some distance again.

Swindell took a lap or so to pass Helms and finished 1.726 seconds back of Dietrich. Hodnett, 11th starter Lance Dewease and Wolfe completed the top five. All Star point leader Chad Kemenah, 22nd starter Brian Montieth, 13th starter Tim Shaffer, Mark Smith and Trey Starks rounded out the top 10.
Trey Starks set overall fast time with a lap of 16.515. Heat races for the 37-car field were won by Rico Abreu, Sammy Swindell, Anthony Macri and Mark Smith. Tyler Esh won the B-main. Wolfe won the first dash and Abreu the second.

Scott Ellerman won the 305 Sprint car feature over Austin Bishop, Bobby Butler, Jaremi Hanson, and Zach Newlin. Ellerman took the lead early from Butler and then held him off over the second half of the race. Dave Brown, Tyler Reeser, Eddie Wagner, Colby Dice and Darren Miller rounded out the top 10. Ellerman also clinched the Beerhill Cup Series for the 305's. A field off 45 cars were on hand.

LIKE FATHER, LIKE SON: FREDDIE RAHMER COLLECTS GRANDVIEW THUNDER CUP ALL STAR VICTORY

BECHTESLVILLE, PA (August 17, 2017) – In front of a jam-packed NAPA Auto Parts Thunder on the Hill Racing Series crowd, Freddie Rahmer of Salfordville, PA became a third-generation winner at Grandview Speedway collecting the victory in the 3rd Annual Thunder Cup presented by Levan Machine and Truck Equipment.

“My Dad won here, My Grandfather won here, I can’t begin to tell you how much it means to win here,” an elated Freddie Rahmer said in victory lane.

Mark Smith of Sunbury, PA and Ryan Smith of Kunkletown, PA led the 26 car field to the green flag. Mark Smith pulled to the lead quickly with Ryan Smith close in tow, and Freddie Rahmer powering past Swindell into the third spot.

The leaders hit heavy lapped traffic on the sixth circuit around the one-third mile – with Mark Smith weaving in and out of cars, extending his lead over the pack. Smith’s sizable lead was short lived as traffic closed the gap between the top runners giving Ryan Smith the opportunity to pounce on Mark Smith.

A Lap 13 red flag flew for Hunter Mackison, who got upside down in turn 2, clearing the boiler plate and landing off the race track. The incident that retired Mackison and Brandon Rahmer.

Mark Smith charged back to the top spot when the race resumed, while Ryan Smith fought hard for the second spot with Freddie Rahmer. Rahmer dove to the inside of the race track crossing under Ryan Smith, but Smith battled back on the inside.

The yellow flag flew on lap 21 for Brandon Spithaler. During the yellow flag, the right rear tire of leader, Mark Smith’s machine went flat sending the No. M1 pit side. Fortunately for Smith, a caution on the restart allowed him to change the tire and rejoin the field.

Ryan Smith inherited the lead and charged to the top side of turn one on the restart, maintaining control on the top side of the one-third-mile speedway. Smith held the top spot for four circuits before Rahmer was able to shoot toward the inside of the race track completing the pass on lap 25.

It was all Rahmer for the balance of the 35-lap feature event, maintaining a lead of five-car-lengths when the checkered flag flew.

Ryan Smith would settle for the second position, Spring Grove, PA’s Greg Hodnett in the third spot, St. Helena, CA’s Rico Abreu in fourth, and Phoenixville, PA’s Brian Montieth rounding out the top five.

Alan Krimes of Denver, PA took home a $150 hard-charger bonus. Chad Kemenah set Quick time of the evening with a lap of 11.545. Heat races were won by Sammy Swindell, Dale Blaney, Ryan Smith, and Mark Smith.

Minersville, PA’s Mike Lisowski scored a hard fought victory in the 25-lap Sportsman feature, collecting a $1,300 winner’s share.

Nathan Mohr and Jack Butler led the 24-car field to the green flag with Butler jumping out to the early lead and dominating the first-half of the racing event. Lisowski – from a fifth place starting position – moved into third in the early stages of the event, and despite multi-car battles took the lead just passed the halfway point.

Lisowski’s main challenge came mid-way through the race when Jordan Henn powered from a 12th place starting position to battle for the top spot. No one could dethrone Lisowski, who claimed the victory.

Ryan Higgs came home in the second position, Louden Reimert in third, Joe Funk in fourth, and current Grandview weekly point leader, Brian Hirthler.

The NAPA Auto Parts Thunder on the Hill Racing Series returns on Saturday, October 14 for Mods at the Madhouse. A Big-Block vs. Small-Block challenge event that also includes Sportsman, and MASS 305 Sprint Cars.
