Race Results From Coast to Coast
Karter Sarff Snags Victory in Jr Knepper 55 with POWRi National Midget League
DuQuoin, IL. (12/14/24) Karter Sarff would strike for the lead with perfect
timing while earning the feature victory indoors at the Southern Illinois
Center, in DuQuoin Illinois, with the POWRi National Midget League, in the Jr
Knepper forty-lap feature event to capture his seventh career league victory
dramatically.
Initial on-track exhilarations with fifty-five solid entries within the POWRi
National Midget League would find Karter Sarff start the action off with
quick-time in hot laps of 9.268-second lap as Thomas Meseraull, Stephen Schnapf,
Christopher Bell, Broc Elliott, Devon Dobie, Brent Crews, and Corbin
Rueschenberg each would notch heat racing wins with Chase McDermand and Kevin
Newton Jr earning the semi-feature victories as Nathan Crane earned the
C-Feature win.
Starting the feature field would witness high-point qualifier Christopher
Bell and Corbin Rueschenberg lead the field as the green flag flew with
Christopher Bell gaining the initial advantage on the opening lap as Corbin
Rueschenberg, Thomas Meseraull, Brent Crews, and Trey Marcham all circled inside
the early contending top five.
Leading smoothly for most of the feature event, Christopher Bell would be in
fine form in his return to dirt from a two-year hiatus by showing the point of
the field for twenty-eight laps as Karter Sarff, Brent Crews, Trey Marcham, and
Shane Cottle all circled behind the leader waiting for the right time to make a
move.
Sliding into the lead using a daring turn one-two maneuver, Karter Sarff
would attack for the front of the field to grab the top spot on lap twenty-nine
as Christopher Bell would maintain a solid runner-up battle with Brent Crews as
Trey Marcham, Rylan Gray, and Shane Cottle all dueled for a top five run.
Holding steady for the final revolutions, Karter Sarff would lead the
remaining eleven laps and capture his first feature victory of 2024 with
one-time leader Christopher Bell taking the runner-up spot as Brent Crews
finished in the final podium placement from beginning the feature fourth.
“What an unbelievable night, I feel like this might be a dream and I am
waiting to wake up,” said the victorious Karter Sarff in the Southern Illinois
Center winner's circle. Adding, “Starting sixth I thought our work was cut out
for us, this is really cool to be able to finally pull off this win before
heading to Tulsa.”
Remaining in the hunt for the front all event, fifth-starting Trey Marcham
would finish fourth with Rylan Gray, starting seventh, rounding out the POWRi
National Midget League top five finishers in the Jr Knepper 55 running inside at
the Southern Illinois Center.

MADDINGTON TOYOTA SPRINTCAR SERIES
SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 24
Callum Williamson claimed his first feature race win of the season when he picked the pocket of Kaiden Manders on the last lap to take the win at Bunbury Speedway on Saturday night.
Williamson won round four of the 2024-25 Maddington Toyota Sprintcar Series that was the LJM Sprintcar Grand Prix, with the winning margin being 0.786 of a second, while Queenslander Ryan Newton was third.
Williamson’s win seemed unlikely for much of the race.
He started from p3 but dropped back to sixth early on, before gradually clawing his way back into contention and was in third by midrace distance
The W3 slipped under Dayne Kinghsott to take second with three laps remaining and as the cars bunched up in heavy lapped traffic, he pounced on Manders for the win in the dying seconds.
The popular win came after he was second quickest in his qualifying group and raced from P3 to a win in his heat race in a modified format after challenging track conditions meant the race surface had to be reworked, forcing a late start to the show.
While it was his first podium of the season, following a pair of fourths and a DNF, it was a disappointing outcome for Manders who started on the front row with Kingshott and was second until he took the lead with a handful of laps remaining.
At the start of the show he was second quickest in his qualifying group and took a heat race win after starting from p3.
Newton, who has contested all four shows of the series so far, two in his own Q66 and the last two in the Monte Motorsport W17, continued his good early-season form with the third - on the back of a win, a second and a DNF so far.
He started from P12 in the final and by mid race distance was eighth before settling into fifth with about eight laps remaining.
Newton finished very strong, gaining two more spots in the last few laps.
Kerry Madsen, in his first race with Diamond Bay Motorsport for the season, was fourth, after starting from P7.
Kingshott, who led for led for about 25 laps, held on for fifth, ahead of Brad Maiolo who started fourth and finished sixth, Jamie Maiolo who started 9th and finished seventh, Taylor Milling who started 13th and finished eighth, Kris Coyle who started eighth and finished ninth and Jason Kendrick who started fifth and rounded out the top 10.
The race was only seconds old when Jack Williamson and Daniel Harding were both facing the wrong way just on the edge of the infield, both getting a rear of the field restart.
The red lights came on a couple of laps later after Harding and Joel Ettridge crashed hard in pits bend, putting them both out of the show.
There was another caution with 17 laps remaining when Andrew Priolo spun around while in ninth, and shortly afterwards Jaydee Dack also spun around, forcing another restart.
Kendrick started the show by setting the Victory 1 Performance Quick Time, while the other heat wins went to Coyle and Madsen.
Racing returns to the Perth Motorplex next Saturday night for the Jolly Good In Car Audio WA Sprintcar Title.
Qualifying:
Group 1: Brad Maiolo 13.794, Callum Williamson 14.119, Ryan Newton 14.356, Brooke Newson 15.409, Myles Bolger 15.787, Jason Pryde 15.918.
Group 2: Dayne Kingshott 13.446, Jaydee Dack 13.618 Taylor Milling 13.653, Kris Coyle 14.347, Aaron Chircop 14.681, Harrison Peet 16.146.

AARON WILLISON WINS FRIDAY POLE SHUFFLE FOR SATURDAY’S $50,000 OPEN WHEEL SHOWDOWN
LAS VEGAS — British Columbia, Canada’s Aaron Willison finds himself in a familiar position at the BITNILE Open Wheel Showdown Las Vegas, where the 2023 $50,000 race winner has earned the pole for Saturday’s 2024 edition after Willison snared the 10-lap Firstline Systems Pole Shuffle. Willison was one of six 12-lap heat race winners on the .375-mile Bullring at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Willison then outmatched Good Boy Vodka fast time qualifier JoJo Helberg of Rohnert Park, Calif. in the shuffle for the pole position.
“Yeah that was fun. Honestly track position – we had a good draw and got to start on the pole. I just knew I had to hit my marks and not miss the bottom. It was a good time there,” Willison said. “We’re just starting to establish a trend the longer the cars have been on the track to come to a decision for a baseline for tomorrow night. It’s awesome to have this platform to race on, to have all of North America gathered in one place to duke it out.”
Helberg led the way in time trials with a new track record, storming to a 11.572 second lap at 116.66 miles per hour. Helberg then won the opening CSI Shocks heat race one, with both Jeff Montgomery and Ryan Litt experiencing difficulties that relegated them to a C-Main position.
Willison won the BR Motorsports heat race two while Bobby Santos of Franklin, Mass. won the Elliott’s Custom Trailers heat three. A spin for Indiana USAC champion CJ Leary will have him coming out of Saturday’s B-Main. Casey Tillman won the Wilwood Brakes heat race four and Kody Swanson of Kingsburg, Calif. won the Racing Optics fifth heat race. Jake Trainor of Medway, Mass. won the Sweet Manufacturing heat race.
Litt made quick work of the 15-lap C-Main, presented by RX Help Centers, and will continue his alphabet soup effort on Saturday.
Klotz Modified action was led in qualifying by Las Vegas’ Aaron McMorran, who then drew the one pill in the redraw. All three heat races were presented by Cometic Gasket, with Aaron McMorran, Kyle Jacks, and Rich Lindgren snaring coveted wins.
Saturday action kicks off early with Modified practices at 10:30am. General Admission gates also swing open at that time, with plenty of tickets available at the gates. Supermodified time trials are also on deck. Opening ceremonies are at 1:30pm, with fans then treated to the 100-lap Sprint Car feature, 75-lap Modified feature, 40-lap Supermodified feature and B-Mains for both the Sprint Cars and Modifieds.

Santos of Franklin, Mass. set the standard with a blistering 11.927 lap at 113.188 miles per hour in the No. 22A Sprint Car. Afternoon practice leader JoJo Helberg of Rohnert Park, Calif. timed in second quickest followed by multi-time Silver Crown champion Kody Swanson of Kingsburg, Calif., event promoter Davey Hamilton, Jr., and Canadian Jeff Montgomery.
Santos picked up half a second across the two practice sessions to lead the way.
“We unloaded decent. We kind of went back to what we know works in the second practice session. Car has good balance. Looking forward to the next two days. Got to thank everyone at Open Wheel Showdown and Davey for what he’s doing. Been looking forward to this weekend for the whole year,” Santos said. “(Qualifying) is wicked important. This format rewards speed, which is a good thing. There’s so many good cars here so that’s the way it should be. It’s a great format. With that being said, we have to put ourselves in a good position.”
The Winged Sprint Cars will participate in time trials, heat races, the 12-car Firstline Systems Pole Shuffle, and the 15-lap C-Feature on Friday night. All the preliminary events are in preparation for Saturday’s 100-lap, $50,000 to win feature.

MADDINGTON TOYOTA SPRINTCAR SERIES
SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 2024
Dayne Kingshott is the Scardifields Smash Repairs King of Wings for the second year in a row.
The defending Maddington Toyota Sprintcar Series champion claimed the drawn-out and drama-filled 40-lap feature race at the Perth Motorplex on Saturday night, from Callum Williamson and Kris Coyle.
Kingshott was able to control his car enough to win on the rubber down track that proved brutal on tyres and put some of his rivals out of the contest when their tyres ran out of rubber and deflated.
Of the 23 cars that took the green light, only seven took the checkers.
The driver of the Krikke Motorsport W2 came from p6, the same starting position that he won the race from last year.
This was after he was quickest in his qualifying session, and raced from fourth to first in his heat race.
Kingshott then dropped back to third, after starting from pole, in the A Dash.
He raced up to second with about six laps in the book, but then dropped back as far as fifth before gradually moving back into the lead with about 10 laps remaining.
As a result of a fifth, followed by two wins in a row, Kingshott is the early season points leader, 14 points clear of former series champion Williamson, who threatened to take the win in the feature race.
Williamson set the Victory 1 Performance overall quick time, before starting fourth and winning his heat race, setting up a p1 start in the A Dash, which he unfortunately didn’t start, with electrical issues.
Despite the setback of starting the final from p11, he was up to third at about quarter race distance, before hitting the lead on lap 25.
Williamson dropped back to third for a period before getting into second late and recording his second podium result of the season, bettering his third at the last outing.
Coyle came from p14 in a very solid and workmanlike drive that saw him chase grip on the low lines of the track, with success.
It was a good recovery after he was sixth quickest in his qualifying group and then took a sixth in his heat race.
Coyle gained a couple of spots in the opening laps, but then lost ground and was back to where he started before moving up to 10th with nine laps completed.
By lap 16 his transition forward was obvious, settling into sixth and after running fourth for a while, with three laps remaining he claimed the final podium position.
Brad Maiolo, who started from p2, staked an early claim on the race, leading until lap 24.
In the next handful of laps he dropped back to fourth before getting back to second until he suffered tyre failure with only a few laps to the checkers.
It was a tough end for the driver of the LJM Racing W77 after he was second in his heat race and then won the B Dash, setting up the front row start.
Kaiden Manders qualified on pole after being second in his heat race and winning the A Dash.
After jockeying between the podium positions early on, he was out of the contest just over midrace distance after being tagged by another car which set off a chain reaction, resulting in damage to a couple of cars.
Daniel Harding started from p3 and dropped back as far as seventh at one point, before making up lost ground, getting to second, before heading infield with a flat left rear tyre.
New Zealander Michael Pickens, in his second outing in the Sean Carren-owned W95, took fourth, backing up his second in the season opener back in November.
Earlier Pickens was second in both his heat race and the B Dash.
Jason Kendrick was fifth after being caught up in a few incidents and going to the rear of the field on two occasions, including once where the team had to replace the front end of the Triple M Kendrick Racing W11.
At the start of the night Kendrick won his heat race and was then fifth in the B Dash, putting him out of p10 for the final.
AJ Nash was sixth in his second outing in the Nash family-owned W51, a result he would not have thought possible after starting the final from p19.
Wayne Russell was the only other finisher, crossing the line in seventh after starting from p20.
The series will head south for the first appearance at Bunbury Speedway in two weeks, with the feature being the LJM Sprintcar Grand Prix on Saturday, November 23.

DJ Netto wins SCCT finale/ Andy Forsberg wraps up title
By Gary Thomas
Stockton, CA…DJ Netto took advantage of race long leader Justin Sanders getting caught up in lapped traffic to lead the final seven laps for his fourth career Sprint Car Challenge Tour victory on Saturday at the Stockton Dirt Track.
When all was said and done Auburn’s Andy Forsberg wrapped up his second career Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour title.
“It feels great to get our second SCCT championship and number 28 for me personally,” Forsberg said. “I want to thank all the people that support us and a huge thanks to the fans for coming out to Stockton tonight.”
Justin Sanders jumped out to the early lead in the 30-lap SCCT finale and fended off the challenges of Netto early on. Various yellows and a couple of red flag periods slowed the flow of the contest during the opening stages.
Through it all Sanders remained composed and looked to be on way to victory, until a lapped car spun directly in front of him, which caused Sanders to bring out a caution. Netto then found himself up front and he would lead the remainder to snag his first SCCT triumph of the season.
Lincoln’s Tanner Carrick crossed the stripe in second to record another consistent finish in SCCT competition. Roseville’s Sean Becker had a strong run in the main event charging from 11th to third, followed by 13th starter Landon Brooks and Chance Grasty in the top five.
Rounding out the top 10 in the main event were 17th starter Jodie Robinson, Tim Kaeding, Justin Sanders, Tristan Guardino and Seth Standley.
The 41st annual Tribute to Gary Patterson put a cap on the 2024 Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour season. Next up will be the annual Awards Banquet on December 14th in Placerville.

MADDINGTON TOYOTA SPRINTCAR SERIES
SUNDAY, OCTOBER 27, 2024
Dayne Kingshott claimed the second round of the 2024-25 Maddington Toyota Sprintcar Series at the Perth Motorplex on Saturday night, with the feature race being the Electrical Group Training Sprintcar Westernapolis.
The defending series champion started from pole for the 30-lap feature race and was never headed in the final that went non-stop.
He crossed the line ahead of last round winner, Ryan Newton, Queensland, and former series champion Callum Williamson.
The podium result backs up Kingshott’s fifth placing in the season opener, at the same venue, one week earlier.
He was second in his qualifying group and went from third to second in his heat race before winning the A Dash from the front row.
Kingshott got the jump on Williamson, who also started on the front row and was into lapped traffic after just a handful of laps were in the books.
He maintained his composure in the fast final, mainly running just off the concrete fence to take the win.
Newton, who was fourth in his qualifying group, started on the front row for his heat race where he dropped back to third.
The Queenslander then moved up two spots to take third in the B Dash, setting up the P5 start for the final.
He was up to third by lap four and alternated between third and fourth until lap 17 until he took second – a spot he maintained to the checkers.
Williamson set the Victory 1 Performance Quick Time at the start of the show before taking a second in his heat race and a win in his Dash.
He was in second for the first half of the journey until he dropped to fourth for a while, ultimately getting by Kaiden Manders to claim the final spot on the podium.
Manders held on for fourth, ahead of Kris Coyle who pushed hard and rounded out the top five.
Jamie Maiolo, who started P4, rolled across the line for sixth, from Andrew Priolo who moved up sixth spots to take seventh after earlier winning the BR Motorsport Midpack race in what was a great recovery.
He was on track to win the Kincrome Hard Charger award, but that honour this week went to Ryan Lancaster who started from p15 and finished just behind Priolo in eighth.
Taylor Milling was ninth (after starting P10), ahead of Jason Kendrick who started P9, but dropped back to 14th early before coming back to round out the top 10.
Jason Pryde was 11th (from P14), ahead of Brad Maiolo, Jack Williamson, Aaron Chircop, James Inglis, Michael Keen, Daniel Harding, Trent Pigdon, Jaydee Dack, AJ Nash, Joel Ettridge, Myles Bolger, Brooke Newson and Wayne Russell, with all 24 cars completing the race.
There was drama at the start of the night for Harding who clouted the wall before even setting a time in qualifying.
As he didn’t set a time, he started from p8 in his heat race, moving up three spots for fifth.
He then went from p5 to second in the B Main and from p20 to 17th in the final.
The third round of the Maddington Toyota Sprintcar Series will be held at the Perth Motorplex on Saturday, November 9, with the feature event being the Scardifields Smash Repairs King of Wings.

that point.
Bell maintained the advantage over the second half of the feature, blitzing
to a 4.1 second victory worth $500 during the final weekend of the Triple Crown
Series as well. Bell was followed by Mitchell, Bruno, DeWitt, and Nate Wait of
Lodi.

Thomas Wins ESS Season Finale at Outlaw Speedway
By Curtis Berleue (Dundee, NY) | For the second time in 2024, Jordan Thomas is an Empire Super Sprints winner. After taking the lead on lap 8, Thomas never looked back en-route to a $4,000 victory in the annual Hoag Memorial at the Outlaw Speedway.
Pinnacle Pole award winner Chase Moran and Jared Zimbardi brought the field to green for the 25-lap event. Zimbardi took an early lead utilizing the high side of the speedway, with Moran falling into second.
Moran’s time in second was short lived, however, as fourth starting Jordan Thomas quickly made his way by the driver of the #4p. With his sights set on the lead, Thomas and Zimbardi would trade slidejobs for a handful of laps, while Moran and Shawn Donath battled behind them for the third position.
As the field clicked off lap 9, Thomas had managed to get by Zimbardi before the first caution of the event flew for DJ Christie, who had a flat left rear tire.
On the enduing restart, Thomas chose the high side of the speedway. Zimbardi would hold pace with Thomas for a handful of laps, but as the duo reached lap traffic Thomas was able to extend his lead.
One last restart with a lap remaining gave Zimbardi a final attempt to get by Thomas, but Thomas slid himself going into turn one to protect the bottom and sailed away to his second victory of the season.
“It’s really good to cap off the year with a win,” said Thomas in victory lane. “I raced him (Zimbardi) a little harder than I wanted to, but it worked out in the end.”
“He’s a really good racer, been doing it a long time. On those restarts when I saw he was lining up next to me, I knew I had to play a little bit of a game to get an advantage.”
Jared Zimbardi held on for second after leading the first 7 laps.
“He had the dominant car for sure,” said Zimbardi. “When I’m running the top pretty much wide open and all the sudden, I heard him through the middle, I knew we were in trouble.”
“I’ve been able to watch Jordan mature over the years, and that last restart – that was a mature move. I didn’t expect him to go to the bottom, I expected him to blast the top and when he did that it caught me off guard.”
With a new car to end the season, Shawn Donath rounded out the Ashley Lynn Winery podium in third.
“I was pretty happy with that thing, it was ripping tonight,” said Donath. “I could go anywhere. These guys gave me one heck of a racecar, I could run bottom, middle, top.”
“I was a little nervous when we got out there and the dew set in, but the track was super-fast.”
26 cars signed in for the final night of action for the Empire Super Sprints in 2024. Rifenburg Contracting fast time awards went to Jason Barney, Jared Zimbardi and Davie Franek. E&V Energy Heat wins went to Joe Trenca, Zimbardi and Ryan Turner. The Cobra Coaches Dash presented by Fratto Curbing was won by Logan Crisafulli.
While on track action has concluded for the Empire Super Sprints in 2024, there is still one event remaining on the schedule. The annual awards banquet and rules meeting will be held on Saturday, November 9. More information on that event will be released in the coming days.

MADDINGTON TOYOTA SPRINTCAR SERIES
SUNDAY, OCTOBER 20, 2024
Queenslander Ryan Newton fired the first shot in the 2024-25 Maddington Toyota Sprintcar Series at the Perth Motorplex on Saturday night.
Newton claimed the 30-lap final from New Zealander Michael Pickens and former series champion Brad Maiolo.
The driver of the Q66 was second quickest in his qualifying group before taking second in his heat race after starting from p3.
Newton started on the front row for the B Dash to determine the top six spots on the outside row for the feature – and he got the jump on Pickens to take the win and start from p2 in the final, alongside Daniel Harding who won the A Dash from Kaiden Manders.
Harding grabbed the holeshot at the start of the final and led for the first eight laps before he rode a wheel of Aaron Chircop as he went to put him a lap down, crashing hard.
From there Newton led all the way on a very fast racetrack.
After the win he confirmed he would remain in WA for round two of the series next Saturday night, back at the Perth Motorplex.
Pickens, who flew in late on Saturday afternoon from New Zealand after having a flight on Friday night cancelled, also drove a speedcar on the night.
He set the Victory 1 Performance Quick Time in a record-breaking 12.460 seconds before a third in his heat race and a second to Newton in the B Dash, to start the final from p4.
Maiolo started p8 in the final after taking a heat race win and a fourth in the B Dash.
He looked strong at each restart to move forward and better his starting position by five spots.
Manders, who started from p3, held on for fourth from defending series champion Dayne Kingsshottt, who started from p6.
Trent Pigdon was seventh after starting from p9, while former series champion Callum Willliamson bettered his starting position by four spots to seventh.
Kris Coyle is the Kincrome Hard Charger after moving up seven spots to be eighth ahead of Taylor Milling, Jason Kendrick, Jamie Maiolo, Jack Williamson (who dropped seven spots), Jaydee Dack (who gained six spots), Ryan Lancaster, Michael Keen, Brooke Newson and Wayne Russell.
There was a bit of drama with nine laps remaining, when Kendrick and Kingshott, who were battling for position, went either side of former series champion Inglis, who was a lap down.
Unfortunately there was contact between Kendrick and Inglis, which saw Inglis roll hard and involve a couple of other cars that posted a DNF.
On the open red, Kendrick was able to change a tyre and start back in 13th, moving up three spots on the run home.
Round two of the 2024-25 championship will be held at the Perth Motorplex next Saturday night, with the feature event being the Electrical Group Training Westerrnapolis.

Corey Day Cup Champion
By Ron Rodda
Tulare CA. After three nights of intense racing it was Corey Day who earned the Trophy Cup title by having the most points. Day will collect the $30,000 champion payout plus earnings from the three nights of racing.
Next week the payout details will be sent.
Starting with fully inverted eight car heat races, top point cars have an opportunity to improve their status. Of the top six in points, it was Justin Peck who gained the most with a heat win.
Peck went from four points behind Dominic Scelzi and Colby Thornhill to eight points ahead.
The top twenty in points after the heat races moved to the A main and the B main added four more. With a 24 car invert by points, the B main transfers are automatically on the front two rows.
Saturday's A main is two races at the same time. First place pays $7500 and the highest point car earns four times that amount.
The 24 car field ran 34 nonstop laps before the refueling yellow was thrown. Trey Starks led 23 laps before Tanner Holmes took the lead out of turn four but Starks was back in the lead a lap later.
Tyler Courtney moved to third on lap 24, got second two laps later, but was back in third by the fuel break. Cole Macedo was second when the unnecessary yellow was displayed. Being nonstop the fuel stop wasn't needed.
Eight laps were green after the restart before a red when Cole Macedo hit the turn two wall. Starks continued in the lead ahead on Tyler Courtney.
On the restart Tanner Holmes used a turn four slider for third and on lap 46 three time Trophy Cup champion, Shane Golobic, was moving potentially into the point lead and got caught up in a turn two tangle to end his chance.
Starks led the last five laps to post the win over Tyler Courtney and Tanner Holmes.
The high point battle was close and Corey Day made it two consecutive titles.
The 2024 donation to Make-A-Wish Foundation made the total $3,125,000 from
the Trophy Cup.

Eliason Wins Trophy Cup Friday Main
by Ron Rodda
Tulare CA...The second night of the Abreu Vineyards Trophy Cup 30 Presented By Rudeen Racing returned 63 winged 360 sprints to Tulare Thunderbowl.
Another $5000 to win thirty lap main event finished the evening and Cory Eliason collected the check and the 100 points.
Group B qualified first with the order reversed from the day before. Caeden Steele was quickest at 14.091 and Kaleb Montgomery was fastest in Group A with a 14.762 effort.
Eight heats inverting six moved the winners and high point cars after adding heat points to promote 16 to the A main. Two B mains moved eight more drivers to the 24 car A main with a 12 car inversion based on points.
Justin Sanders led 9 laps of the A main but two cars tangled in front of him and he couldn't avoid contact with the pair.
Cory Eliason inherited the lead and Dolby Copeland took 2nd on lap 14 driving under Dominic Scelzi in turn two.
Copeland made it one better when he took the lead by passing Eliason on the bottom of turn four. Copeland led the final ten laps for the checkers but not the win.
Copeland was set back two spots for a jump and was credited for third. Eliason was the winner ahead of Scelzi, Copeland, and last night's winner, Justin Peck.
The top five in points going into Saturday are Dominic Scelzi 275, Colby Copeland 273, Cory Eliason 273, Colby Thornhill 272, Justin Sanders 272
Saturday will start with the toughest heat races for the top 48 in points. Heats will be fully inverted by points with 36 points to win and a three point drop.
The 20 cars highest in points after the heats will fill rows 3 through 12 in the 50 lap finale. The B main top four will be in the front two rows of the fully inverted lineup.
Around the halfway mark an open red will allow fuel to be added.
Saturday's A main has two playoffs. Whoever takes the checkers first earns $7500 and the highest point driver collects $30,000 from the point payout plus whatever earned from three nights of racing.

Justin Peck Takes Cup Opener
By Ron Rodda
Tulare, CA... The opening night of the Abreu Vineyards Trophy Cup 30
Presented By Rudeen Racing at the Tulare Thunderbowl had Justin Peck withstand
the challengers for a flag to flag win.
A 65 car field of winged 360 sprints were split into two groups with each group having a driver earning 150 points for fast time and a one point drop per place in qualifying.
Jonathan Allard topped A group with a 13.931 and B group honors went to Justin Peck at 14.273.
Each group ran four heats, inverted by 6, moving the winner and the high point car after the heat into the A main. Heats awarded 36 points to the winner with a three point drop per position.
That put 16 drivers into the main with four additional drivers from each of two B mains filling the 24 car field. The A main had a 12 car invert by points and the winner earned 100 points with a two point drop each finishing position.
The 30 lap main had Justin Sanders and Kaleb Montgomery sharing row six as the top two in points while Braden Chiaramonte and Justin Peck filled the front row.
Peck led from the green and made it 30 laps of leading the field. But it wasn't easy.
After reaching traffic on lap seven, Braden Chiaramonte closed and put pressure on Peck. Chiaramonte led a lap but Peck regained the lead and the two put on a show with the race running 29 non-stop laps.
The last few laps Colby Thornhill got past Chiaramonte to finish second while Chiaramonte was third.
Friday will follow the Thursday format with the change in qualifying with group two qualifying first and the drivers within each group are the reverse order from Thursday.
Following the Friday program each driver will use the better of their two point nights to determine their Saturday assignment. The top 48 in points will be in one of the six heats on Saturday, completely inverted by points.
Top ten in points....Colby Thornhill 272, Justin Sanders 272, Justin Peck 271, Braden Chiaramonte 267, Robbie Price 267, Caeden Steele 266, Sanders Becker 263, Shane Golobic 261, Jonathan Allard 260, Kaleb Montgomery 259

Jacob Denney Victorious in Meents Memorial with POWRi National and West Midget Leagues at Port City Raceway
Tulsa, OK. (10/12/24) Jacob Denney would lead early and recover late using a
last lap pass to earn his third career feature win battling at Port City
Raceway, with the POWRi National and West Midget Leagues, in Night Two of the
Rujo Rumble after leading eight laps of the thirty-lap feature event honoring an
industry icon in the 20th Annual Charlene Meents Memorial presented by
Driven2SaveLives.
Speedy on-track excitement with thirty-five talented entries in the POWRi
National Midgets would find Gavin Miller start the action off with quick time in
qualifying with a 10.000-second lap as Alex Sewell, Jonathan Beason, Kris
Carroll, Chase McDermand, and Jayden Clay would notch the heat racing wins.
Semi-feature action would find Trey Marcham and Jason McDougal victorious.
Launching the feature field would find the high-point qualifier Jacob Denney
and Jonathan Beason, lead the field as the green flag flew with Jacob Denney
gaining the initial advantage on the opening lap as Cannon McIntosh, Kameron
Key, Gavin Miller, and Colton Robinson all battling inside the early contending
top five.
Overtaking for the top spot with a great lap seven restart, Cannon McIntosh
would shoot to the front of the field as Jacob Denney stayed within striking
distance with Gavin Miller also staying close as the top three separated from
the remainder of the field with laps ticking away and lap traffic quickly
caught.
Cruising out front, Cannon McIntosh would continue to show the way out front
as a late race caution would erase the large lead and bunch the field back
together as late race dramatics would be revealed in the waning stages of the
feature.
Blasting to the front of the field on the final lap, Jacob Denney would shoot
to the high side while Cannon McIntosh protected the bottom with Denney gaining
the lead out of turn two while holding onto the top spot over the final pair of
corners with McIntosh settling into finishing second as hard-charger Ethan
Mitchell maneuvered past sixteen other competitors to finalize the podium
placements.
“The restart made the race for us, I got stuck behind lap cars during that
long green run and just tried to stay close late” said Jacob Denney in the Port
City Raceway winner’s circle. Adding, “I ran it into one and two as hard as I
could and it stuck, I think he moved down maybe to block but I wasn’t moving
from the top or lifting.”
Remaining in the hunt all event, rookie of the year winner Gunnar Setser
would finish fourth with Jason McDougal rounding out the POWRi National and West
Midget Leagues top five finishers in Night Two of the Rujo Rumble while honoring
the Meents Memorial at Port City Raceway.

Tanner Carrick surges to initial Thunderbowl victory with SCCT
By Gary Thomas
Tulare, CA…Lincoln’s Tanner Carrick shot out front early and cruised to his first ever Thunderbowl Raceway triumph with the Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour on Saturday night.
It marked the fourth SCCT victory of Carrick’s career, placing him in a tie for sixth place all-time with Rico Abreu. His win during the annual Chris & Brian Faria Memorial came aboard the familiar California Waterfowl/ TC Guide Service No. 83T.
“Thunderbowl Raceway is always one of those challenging tracks so it’s a special moment when you can get a win here,” Carrick said after the race. “I really have to thank my entire team for working hard all night while running two cars. We had a lot of speed right up top in the SCCT main event and that gives me a ton of confidence going into the Trophy Cup next week.”
After winning the High Sierra Industries Dash, Carrick blasted into the lead at the waving of the Darryck Fairbanks’ green flag in the main event. The 22-year-old pulled away to a large lead throughout the course of the race shortened 25-lap feature.
Several slow downs occurred, but Carrick never faltered up front and drove away from everybody to claim the checkered flag. Fresno’s Caeden Steele put together a solid outing to cross the stripe in second, followed by San Jose’s Tim Kaeding, who continued his impressive string of races.
Aromas’ Justin Sanders made a cameo appearance in the Snow Racing No. 7 and brought home a fourth-place result, while Hanford’s DJ Netto earned his second straight top-five finish in Sprint Car Challenge Tour competition by crossing the line in fifth.
Completing the top-10 in the SCCT finale were Pit Stop USA Hard Charger Colby Thornhill, who rocketed through the pack from 23rd to sixth, followed by Ashton Torgerson, Joey Ancona, Dylan Bloomfield and 22nd starter Sean Becker.
A total of 36 cars competed at the Faria Memorial/ Trophy Cup tune-up. Suisun City’s Chance Grasty began the evening by earning his first Sierra Foothills Wine Services fast time of the year by clocking a 13.607 around the Thunderbowl Raceway.
The Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour returns to action on Saturday November 2nd at the Stockton Dirt Track. The 41st annual Tribute to Gary Patterson marks the season finale for the SCCT 360s.

Kubota High Limit Racing season champ Sweet wins Diamond Classic makeup at Lucas Oil Speedway
WHEATLAND, MO. (Oct. 9, 2024) - Before the final week of action in the The
Kubota High Limit Racing season arrived, Brad Sweet already had clinched the
season championship. Now he's added a couple of exclamation points to his title
while in the Show-Me State.
Sweet followed up his Tuesday-night triumph at I-70 Speedway in Odessa with a
convincing feature victory on Wednesday at Lucas Oil Speedway's Diamond Classic.
The Grass Valley, Calif., Winged Sprint veteran led 31 of 35 laps to earn
$25,000 in the makeup of an event rained out at Wheatland on June 29th.
"I'm really excited that we got to come back to Lucas Oil and complete the
event," Sweet said after his ninth Kubota High Limit Racing feature win of the
season. "Thanks to the crowd for coming out on a Wednesday night."
Courtney, the Night 1 Diamond Classic winner on June 28 before severe weather
wiped out the action the next night, couldn't quite pull off the delayed sweep.
The Indianapolis resident said a poor first part of the race left him too much
work to do. He settled for $10,000.
"I think we were a little bit better here earlier in the year," Courtney
said. "We got good at the end of the feature. We went from the pole to sixth or
seventh and just had to dig deep. That last yellow, it was nice to start behind
Brad, but clean air was a huge factor. They've been on it, really all year.
Congrats to Brad and their whole team."
Sweet, starting outside Courtney on row one, sprinted to the lead as the
green flew and set the pace through four laps, with fourth-starting Ryan Timms
running second. A red flag came out after Brent Marks flipped his car on the
backstretch to halt the action.
Action settled into a rhythm after the restart with Sweet holding on to a
narrow lead until lap 10, when Timms took over the lead with an outside pass out
of turn two. The 18-year-old Timms had a .069-second lead when action was
stopped again on lap 13 as Kerry Madsen hit the wall in turn four.
During the caution, Timms pulled into the hot pits to surrender the lead back
to Sweet for the restart on lap 14. Timms, winner of the 2023 Hockett-McMillin
Memorial at Lucas Oil Speedway, had a side panel come loose and had to restart
at the rear. He eventually rallied to 10th.
"We got a little luck there with Ryan," Sweet said. "Sometimes it falls your
way. I got control of the race and kind of changed my lines up and tried to
carry more speed.
"This track's really weird. You think you're gonna slow down and get gripped
up, but it doesn't work that way here. Figuring this track out, it's new to a
lot of us, but it's a beautiful facility."
Sweet needed only three laps to open a 1.5-second lead over Tanner Thorson
with Spencer Bayston third. The trio remained in that order until lap 25, when
Courtney moved past Bayston for third, with Sweet having opened a two-second
lead over Thorson.
The second-running Thorson’s chances went up in smoke on lap 27 when he
slowed, fluid pouring from the motor. That elevated Courtney to second and
Bayston to third with eight laps remaining.
Sweet had a smooth restart and held off Courtney the rest of the way, earning
the victory by .825 seconds.
"We slumped in the middle of the season, but we've been strong for a while
now," Sweet said. "It's nice to get the wins. The hard work pays off. It's such
a grind throughout the year. We're gonna finish the year out strong."
Two series races remain, this Friday and Saturday at the Texas Motor Speedway
Dirt Track.
Bayston wound up third with Corey Day fourth and Kasey Kahne fifth.
"We've been clicking them off," Bayston said after his fifth straight
top-five High Limit Racing feature finish. "Everything is kind of flowing right
now and we're unloading fast. It's been fun.
"We had a really good car on that last restart and had the top to myself, but
(Courtney) took it away from us but we'll be happy to take home a top-three and
continue this streak."
Cory Eliason of Visalia, Calif., set the fast qualifying time with a lap of
12.957 seconds, just off the track record of 12.829 set by Rico Abreu on June
29th of this year.

Varin Wins Fulton; Poirier Crowned ESS Champion
By Curtis Berleue (Fulton, NY) | After waiting out a rain delay of over 12 hours, it was Danny Varin who sat in victory lane at the Fulton Speedway early Saturday afternoon. Rain showers late in the program on Friday night caused the postponement of the remainder of the program, including the final two Empire Super Sprints heat races until Saturday Morning.
Pinnacle Pole sitter Sammy Reakes IV took charge of the field from the drop of the green flag, leading the first 16 laps. Danny Varin, who had started third, spent the first 8 laps in third before getting to second on lap 10.
Just 6 laps later, Varin was able to get by Reakes IV for the top spot. Behind Varin, Jordan Poirier and Nick Sheridan battled for the podium. A last-lap effort by Poirier to get by Varin came up short, and it was ultimately Varin who came out on top, claiming his 5th win of the season.
“I felt pretty good before that last caution, but the last caution had me nervous,” said Varin in victory lane. “This is huge for this team. We want more wins, but everybody else is really, really good. It’s been tough this year, we’ve hit a low spot this last month but my wife told me before we came up here that I owed her that trophy, so we snagged it.”
Jordan Poirier not only finished second in the A-Main, but also clinched his third tour championship in as many years.
“We were bad at the beginning of the feature, and then during the red flag I messed with my wing a little bit,” said Poirier. “I got better after that to end up on the podium.”
“We’ve been like second or third all year long, we were never the fastest but just consistent. We kept our nose clean and were always there. It’s a testament to this team. We didn’t break anything this year, we finished all our races.”
“At the end of the day that’s what we aimed for at the beginning of the season and to win the championship, it feels so good.”
Nick Sheridan held on to third place, rounding out the Ashley Lynn Winery podium.
“This is awesome, its our first time coming down here,” said Sheridan. “This track is great, we’ve never really raced anything this slick before, so we were trying some stuff with the setup. It was a little free but I’m not going to complain. There are some really good drivers in front of me.”
On Friday night the field was split into four timed hot lap groups. Matt Farnham, Chris Hile, Jason Barney and Nick Sheridan all earned Rifenburg Contracting fast time awards in their respective groups. The first two E&V Energy heat races were completed before the rain came, with Logan Crisafulli and Joe Trenca picking up wins.
As the program resumed Saturday morning, Jason Barney and Nash Ely won the final two E&V Energy heats.
The final scheduled on-track event for the Empire Super Sprints this season is Friday October 18th at the Outlaw Speedway in Dundee, NY for the annual $4,000 to win Hoag Memorial weekend.

RICHARD SCORES WIN IN CRSA’S RETURN TO CANADA
Race Report By: Marty Czekala – October 6, 2024
CORNWALL, ONTARIO—In CRSA's first race in Canada since 2008 and the first in Ontario, one of Canada's finest won the battle.
Bruno Richard started on pole and held off Lee Ladouceur and Tomy Moreau in the final laps to score his first career CRSA win in the Canadian CRSA/Crate Challenge at Cornwall Motor Speedway.
"This was the hardest race I ever won," said Richard in victory lane. "The car was perfect in the beginning, and then I needed to control my gas better. When I saw the No. 22, I knew he wanted the race.
With the win, Richard becomes the 83rd different winner and the sixth first-time winner of the year, the most in a season in a decade.
Richard started on the pole alongside Lee Ladouceur for the 25-lap season finale. Jordan Hutton began the race as the highest-running CRSA regular and was up to third on lap two before going off track in turn two. He would catch a break as the lap was not completed under green as Liam Ladouceur spun in turn two.
Richard held serve on the restart but, this time had Moreau underneath him for the lead. Richard would pull away and maintain a lead of about under a second until a pair of yellows on lap seven for a Jordan Hutton spin and lap 12 for Blake Warner spinning into the barrier.
With under 10 to go, it seemed like Richard had the win in the bag until, in lapped traffic with seven to go, Richard got too high off turn two, allowing Moreau to peak underneath for the lead.
“Lapped traffic closed the line and I had no room,” Richard said. “I said, 'maybe Tomy would pass,' but when coming out, I would pull good."
Lee Ladouceur would join in on this battle for the win, but when Richard got clear from lapped traffic, the No. 72 opened up the gap to win by 1.4 seconds.
"I'm proud to close the season like that at Cornwall," said Richard. "The car was perfect; when it's perfect and a good driver, everyone can keep that."
In a neck-and-tooth battle, Lee Ladouceur and Tomy Moreau traded the runner-up position numerous times in the final laps, but "General Lee" prevailed in his No. 51 ride. Ladouceur made moves off turn four on the high side that nearly led to contact but still provided exciting racing.
“It was lots of fun,” said Ladouceur. “We adjusted our car for the end of the race and wished it was five more laps. Happy with our second place finish, and it ended up being a good day."
This was the race Tomy Moreau has been looking forward to for a while. With many of his family and friends in attendance, Moreau piloted his No. 22 to third, tying his best finish of the season with Land of Legends Raceway July 4.
“We were close to Bruno a few times but just couldn’t get the exit off turn four,” said Moreau. “I’ve worked with Mike [Emhof] for three years to have a race home and we finally got one. I hope we can come back next year.”
Mecanique plus Robertson stepped in to give $100 to each of the following: Longest tow, 11th place, 19th place and the halfway bonus, plus the last driver on the track. John Smith traveled the most miles to get to Cornwall, while Scott Landers finished 11th and Blake Warner finished 19th. Richard led at the halfway point, while Liam Ladouceur was the last car on the track.
Garage Mario Moreau paid an extra $100 to the 15th place finisher, awarded to Kirsten Dombrowski.
Carquest Auto Parts of Canada also awarded $100 to the eighth-place finisher, Dillon Paddock.
Marc Suprenant, Lee Ladouceur and Jordan Hutton's heat wins earned them $100 each, thanks to Construction CPNA, Energie Line Batteries and SLME.
This concludes the 2024 CRSA season. The series’ awards ceremony and banquet is planned for Dec. 7 at Vernon Downs Casino Hotel. Details on tickets and hotel reservations will be released at a later date.

MILLER MAKES LAST LAP PASS TO SCORE MOWA WIN AT JACKSONVILLE
October 5, 2024 - Friday night’s victory was like deja vu for Joe B. Miller; it was his third straight Morrow Brothers Ford MOWA Sprint Car Series victory in the Ron Milton Race of Champions.
Sterling Cling and Joel Myers Jr led the field to the green flag with Cling getting the position at the start. As the two entered into turn three, Myers slid across in front of Cling to overtake the point and began to pull away. Behind Myers, action picked up as Brayton Lynch muscled past Sterling Cling for the second position, while RIley Goodno and Gage Montgomery battled for fourth and fifth.
Joe B. Miller, who started seventh, sat back and watched it all unfold in front of him, as he made a two-for-one move on lap ten to make his way into the top five. Joel Myers began to work lapped traffic by the midway point, as 21st-starting Paul Nienhiser was doing everything in his power to move forward and made his way to 11th by lap 17. The battle for third turned into a three car battle, where Gage Montgomery, Sterling Cling and Joe B. Miller traded sliders around the ¼-mile oval. Miller worked his way up to third when a yellow slowed the field as Gage Montgomery spun at the bottom of turn two with seven laps remaining. A nearly five-second lead for Joel Myers was erased as the field stacked back up before returning to green.
At the restart, Myers jumped out at the point, while Brayton Lynch was beginning to get challenged by Joe B. Miller, who moved his way past Lynch’s on the 21st lap and immediately set his sights on the leader. Myers continued to lead as the laps began to wind down. Catching the wall atop turn two on lap 23, Myers’ was able to regain composure and navigated around the top shelf of the speedway, once again with lapped traffic directly in front of him.
Myers’ entry to turn four as he approached the white flag, saw his #19 machine enter high and lose momentum and Joe B. Miller was right there to capitalize. Miller pulled alongside Myers down the back stretch and slid between two lapped cars as the top two raced back to the checkers. Miller narrowly edged ahead of Myers, who made contact with Austin Archdale and John Barnard, resulting in Archdale violently flipping past the flagstand as the checkered flew, immediately following by a red flag, thus ending the 25-lap affair.
After clearing the accident scene, Joe B. Miller made his way to victory lane and was greeted with applause from the fans and family members of the late Ron Milton. Friday’s event was MIller’s sixth-career victory. Joel Myers Jr and Brayton Lynch rounded out the podium.
While fans were focused on Miller’s victory lane, another driver who was just as jubilant, was Will Armitage, who was crowned the 2024 Morrow Brothers Ford MOWA Sprint Car Series Champion, after a season-long battle with Ryan Bunton. Entering Saturday’s finale, Armitage trailed by three points. Bunton’s bid came up short as the driver of the #6B machine retired early in B-Main action and wasn’t able to transfer into the A-Main.
The finish:
1. 51B- Joe B. Miller, 2. 19H-Joel Myers Jr, 3. 29-Brayton Lynch, 4.

Justin Sanders makes late move to net Cotton Classic at Kings Speedway
By Gary Thomas
Hanford, CA…Justin Sanders and car owner Dale Miller continued their fantastic season on Friday at Kings Speedway in Hanford, as the Aromas driver captured an entertaining Cotton Classic with the Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour.
It marked the sixth win in eight SCCT starts for Sanders this year and was his initial triumph in the Penny Newman Grain Cotton Classic. He also began the evening by earning the Sierra Foothills Wine Services Fast Time Award.
“It feels great to get another win for Dale and Tara Miller here tonight at Kings Speedway,” Sanders commented on the victory lane podium. “This track was perfect tonight and that made for some great racing. Luckily, I was able to get by Dominic Gorden there and score the win.”
Gorden was shot out of a cannon at the beginning of the SCCT feature, as he blasted under Tanner Holmes and Dominic Scelzi to grab the lead by the time one lap had been completed.
Sanders moved into second not long after and began to pace Gorden as lapped traffic came into play. A multiple groove surface was given to drivers in the main event and made for outstanding competition all throughout the field.
Gorden did a great job out front fending off Sanders, until traffic bunched up the leaders around the halfway point. Fresno’s Dominic Scelzi also moved in and joined the party, making it a ferocious three-car battle up front.
With 21 laps complete Sanders finally made the move to charge out front, as Gorden and Scelzi then fought for the runner up position. Scelzi had the opening to grab the spot but hopped over the right rear of lapped car Dylan Bloomfield in turn two, which put a tough end to his race.
Sanders led the remainder to bring home his 14th career Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour win. Gorden crossed the stripe in second, followed by Pit Stop USA Hard Charger Cole Macedo, who started from position number 13.
Tanner Holmes and DJ Netto completed the top five. Netto put on a tremendous show in the main event, following a trip to the work area during the pace laps, which took away his original starting spot, which was the pole. The Hanford driver came from dead last and ran as high as fourth at one point.
Finishing sixth through 10th in the feature were Kaleb Montgomery, Andy Forsberg, Braden Chiaramonte, Brooklyn Holland and Shane Hopkins.
The Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour returns to action this coming Saturday October 12th at Thunderbowl Raceway in Tulare. The annual Faria Memorial marks the final tune-up prior to Trophy Cup and the penultimate round of the SCCT campaign.

NIENHISER NABS NIGHT ONE OF RON MILTON RACE OF CHAMPIONS WEEKEND
October 4, 2024 - Paul Nienhiser added another win with the Morrow Brothers Ford MOWA Sprint Car Series to his resume, after scoring the win in Friday’s 25-Lap A-Main.
Nienhiser rolled from the fifth starting spot and was able to muscle his way forward and make a late-race pass over longtime race leader Will Armitage, who started outside of the front row.
With Nienhiser in front of the field, action picked up behind. Will Armitage fended off a late-race mount from Thomas Meseraull to grab another MOWA podium finish. Thomas Meseraull rounded out the podium, with Jake Neuman finishing fourth and Kameron Key fifth.
Further back in the field, all eyes were on Morton, Illinois driver Ryan Bunton who had an 18 point lead in the points chase coming into Friday night. Bunton made his way into the A-Main by virtue of transfer position from a B-Main. Bunton started the race in 23rd, with one goal in mind - to move forward. At the end of 25 Laps, Bunton advanced forward 15 positions to score an 8th place finish.
Heading into Saturday’s Championship event at Jacksonville, Bunton sits atop the standings, only 3 points ahead of Will Armitage. The focus will be on the top two drivers all night long, as it will be a constant battle to the final checkered flag for the points championship.
A-Main Finish:

the runner-up position through the later stages of the race while dealing with
lap traffic.
“Our car was phenomenal, the track had everything tonight. It was technical
and it made it a lot of fun to race, hopefully the race was fun for the fan
tonight.” said Aaron Reutzel in the Dallas Texas victory lane ceremony
celebrations. Adding, “I love to see cars here, I love this place and wish I
could race here more. Hats off to the crew for putting in the work and making
this track as good as it was tonight.”

Schmidt tops off PDTR 360 Sprint Car title with A-main triumph
Thiel, Fahl, Neau rack up Wisconsin Sprint Car Championships victories
(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) September 28, 2024 – Ben Schmidt of Plymouth put a bow on an Akright Auto Plymouth Dirt Track Racing and Midwest Sprint Car Association 360 Sprint Car championship season in fitting fashion by parking his No. 35 machine in victory lane to close out the 2024 campaign during the seventh annual Wisconsin Sprint Car Championships at The Plymouth Dirt Track in Plymouth, Wis. on Saturday, September 28.
In the 30-lap Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series A-main, Scotty Thiel of Sheboygan rolled to victory in the annual IRA Rick Schmidt Memorial Race to seal his first career IRA championship.
John Fahl of Brown Deer used some late-race heroics to rack up a win in the
20-lap Autometer Wisconsin wingLESS Sprint Car A-main. Zach Raidart of Gurnee,
Ill. sealed his first career Wisconsin wingLESS Sprint Car Series title.
Mike Neau of Pleasant Prairie secured the 20-lap IRA Lightning Sprints A-main victory and Mark Heinert of Waukesha racked up the 2024 IRA Lightning Sprints title.
After starting on the outside of the front row in the 25-lap PDTR-MSA 360 Sprint Car main event, Ben Schmidt emerged from a side-by-side duel with polesitter Shane Wenninger of Kewaskum, who was filling in behind the wheel of Bill Taylor's No. 69 car, to seize the lead in turn one on lap 2.
Two laps later, the first of three caution flags was displayed for the slowing car of Kurt Davis of South Milwaukee in turn one. Schmidt controlled the restart and built up a solid cushion over Wenninger by lap 6.
As T.J. Smith of Greenville rocketed into second from the eighth starting spot on lap 11, two-time Eastern Wisconsin Stock Car Winged Super Modified champion Billy Kreutz of Kiel advanced to third from the fourth starting position.
With Schmidt closing in on the rear of the field, the second caution flag of the race appeared on lap 12 for the stalled car of Chris Larson of Franksville in turn one.
Following the restart, Kreutz springboarded into second and 13th starter Joseph Hintz of Burnett rode the high line of the well-manicured track surface into fifth.
The third and final caution of the race came one lap later when Chris Larson stopped again in turn four.
The final restart of the race found Smith battling back to seize the runner-up spot, while Hintz powered up into third. At the head of the pack, Schmidt sliced his way through dense lapped traffic in the final few laps to secure his fourth A-main triumph of the 2024 season, 25th career PDTR A-main victory and 46th career MSA main event win.
The victory helped Schmidt capture his second career PDTR and MSA 360 Sprint Car championship 13 years after winning both titles in 2011.
Smith had to settle for second, Wenninger was third, seventh starter Alex Pokorski of West Bend finished fourth and Kevin Karnitz of West Bend charged up from the 18th starting spot to place fifth.
"We had kind of an odd start to the year with the rainouts and curfew night," Schmidt said. "We picked it up in the second half of the year. Since we put this team together in 2020, we've finished second every year we've run for points. Winning a championship is a great accomplishment for the guys on my crew. I have to thank them, my family and my sponsors for everything they do to help make this happen. This is awesome."
In memory of late 360-410 Sprint Car and Winged Super Modified driver Brian Portschy, who passed away 11 years ago, the Portschy family contributed $50 to the fifth place finisher in the PDTR-MSA 360 Sprint Car A-main, which Kevin Karnitz claimed.
Outside front row starter Blake Nimee of Oswego, Ill. edged out polesitter Scotty Thiel to take the lead exiting turn four of the opening circuit. Nimee opened a significant gap over Thiel until the leaders caught the rear of the field on lap 7, which allowed Thiel to close the gap.
After the leading raced in lockstep formation for the next 10 laps, a red flag appeared on lap 17 when the No. 19 machine of Jett Mann of Goshen, Ind. flipped in turn four. Thiel used a strong restart to slip underneath Nimee and seize the top spot in turn three.
After three more green flag laps were completed, a caution flag was displayed when Joe B. Miller of Millersville, Mo. stopped in turn two on lap 20. Following the restart, Nimee attempted to wrestle the lead away from Thiel with a slide job in turn two. However, Thiel crossed Nimee over heading down the backstretch to maintain the top spot.
Thiel then bolted away from his fellow competitors to seal his initial IRA 410 Sprint Car Series championship with his fourth A-main victory of the 2024 campaign and 29th career IRA main event triumph.
Nimee wound up second, 2023 IRA champion Brenham Crouch of Lubbock, Texas moved up from the eighth starting spot to place third, 2021 and 2022 Plymouth Dirt Track Racing 360 Sprint Car champion Travis Arenz of Sheboygan Falls took fourth after starting fifth and two-time PDTR 360 Sprint Car champ Danny Schlafer of Sussex placed fifth from the seventh starting position.
After the initial start was waved off due to a spin, fifth starter Jimmy Sivia of Winthrop Harbor, Ill. won a battle with polesitter John Fahl to take the initial lead along the outside groove in turn two on lap 2.
Second starter Allen Hafford of Beach Park, Ill. gained second on lap two before a caution flag was displayed to the field on lap four when Tom Eller of Pleasant Prairie stopped along the front stretch.
When the race resumed, Hafford worked the low line to challenge Sivia for the top spot on lap 11. However, Sivia fended off Hafford's advances to retain the lead. Two laps later, Zach Raidart used the outside groove to secure second place on lap 13.
Raidart quickly moved in to pressure Sivia for the lead just before the two cars made contact in turn three on lap 16, which caused Raidart to spin and bring out the race's third caution flag.
Following the restart on lap 16, Sivia felt pressure from outside second row challenger Tyler Kuxhouse of Antioch, Ill. Mirroring the incident between Raidart and Sivia two laps prior, the two drivers made contact in turn three sending Kuxhouse spinning to produce the fourth and final caution flag of the race on lap 18.
Following the final restart, Fahl unleashed his No. 0 along the cushion and vaulted his way past Sivia into the top spot exiting turn two on lap 19.
Fahl, who captured back-to-back PDTR Super Modified championships at The Plymouth Dirt Track in 2014 and 2015, rode on from there to secure his first Wisconsin wingLESS Sprint Car A-main victory of the 2024 season and second career Wisconsin wingLess Series A-main win.
Sivia placed second, seventh starter Bryce Andrews of Kenosha placed third, Tim Cox of Park City, Ill. wound up fourth after starting 12th and Ryan Zielski of Oconomowoc moved up from the 13th starting position to round out the top five.
Inside second row starter Jordan Funderburk of Wadsworth, Ill. outpowered second starter Mark Heinert to gain the lead in turn four of the opening lap. Funderburk held the top spot until he spun in turn four, which gave the lead to Heinert on lap 4.
Over the next 10 laps, seventh starter Mike Neau weaved his way through the pack to duel with Heinert for the top spot before seizing the lead in turn four on lap 15.
Neau cruised from there to nail down the A-main victory, eighth starter Chad Stouthamer of Big Bend finished third, newly crowned 2024 IRA Lightning Sprints champ Heinert placed fourth and Funderburk recovered from lap 4 spin to place fifth.
Kris Spitz of Salem won the 10-lap IRA 410 Sprint Car B main and Josh Davidson of Racine racked up the victory in the 10-lap Wisconsin wingLESS Sprint Car B main.
Joe B. Miller earned the overall fast qualifier award in IRA 410 Sprint Car Series qualifying with a fast lap of 11.711 seconds.
T.J. Smith claimed overall fast time honors in PDTR-MSA 360 Sprint Car hot-lap-group qualifying in 12.649 seconds.
Chad Stouthamer of Big Bend seized the fast qualifier award in IRA Lightning Sprints qualifying with a lap of 13.389 seconds.
Longtime inspector and track worker Fred DeBlaey accepted the 2024 PDTR Dedication to Dirt Award during a pre-race presentation.
The 14th and final event of the 2024 PDTR campaign, sponsored by Jensen Sales & Service, equaled the season-high car count at The Plymouth Dirt Track with 95 total entries, including 33 IRA 410 Sprint Cars, 25 PDTR-MSA 360 Sprint Cars, 22 Wisconsin wingLESS Sprint Cars and 15 IRA Lightning Sprints.
The 2024 Plymouth Dirt Track Racing Awards Ceremony will take place Saturday, Oct. 12 at Racers Hall in Plymouth at 7 p.m. The event honors the top three points finishers, along with the rookie of the year and most improved award winners in the PDTR Late Model, 360 Sprint Car, Grand National and B Mod divisions.

Doug Dodson Captures Clash by the Creek
The IMCA RaceSaver Sprints showed in a large way Saturday night at Hagerstown Speedway with fifty-three signed in and when it was all over Doug Dodson stood on top. Six heat races started the night with Drew Young, Robbie Bartchy, Doug Dodson, John Scarborough, Timmy Bittner and Zach Rhodes with two B mains won by Austin Reed and Jason Roush. With feature up next John Scarborough and Timmy Bittner paced the twenty-eight car field to green with Bittner out first Scarborough second and Dodson showing the higher line was working riding in third. Bittner stayed out front as top three closed up with Dodson using his highline to take second and move on Bittner and five laps in Dodson went to the lead and started to check out. Scarborough moved to second as Dave Grube was closing up to Bittner. Bittner found a new groove and made his way back to second bring Grube along. The laps were running down as Grube made it to second leaving Bittner in third and with Dodson now in sight. Grube continued to reel in Dodson but it was not to be as Doug Dodson showed the way under a waving checkered flag for his first win of the season. At the line it was Doug Dodson, Dave Grube, Timmy Bittner, Dylan Shatzer, Mike Koehler, Owen Dimm, Dustin Young, John Scarborough, Mike Melair, Zach Rhodes, Austin Reed, Tim Iulg, Braedon Varner, Drew Young, Hunter McFadden, Ian Cumens, Jarrett Cavalet, Kruz Kepner, Kenny Heffner, John Braim, Robbie Bartchy, Reed Thompson, Colton Moyer, Ken Duke, Jason Roush, Colton Hendershot, Erin Statler and AJ Barton.

Aaron Reutzel Seizes Sprint Invaders $5,000 “Fall Haul” with Sprint Invaders at 34 Raceway! Paul Nienhiser Clinches Sprint Invaders Championship
by Bill Wright
West Burlington, IA, September 28, 2024 – Aaron Reutzel took an early lead and never looked back Saturday night at the 34 Raceway in West Burlington, Iowa, capturing the 30-lap $5,000 “Fall Haul” main event. The Clute, Texas native’s win marks the eight winner in as many events in “Fall Haul” history. It was also Reutzel’s first ever Sprint Invaders win, and it came aboard the Ridge & Sons Racing #87. Paul Nienhiser of Chapin, Illinois capped off a great season with a top five finish sealing his first ever Sprint Invaders season title. Car owner Scott Bonar won his series record fourth car owner championship.
Terry McCarl led early in the main event, with Reutzel and Ryan Bunton in tow. Reutzel was already challenging McCarl for the point when Mike Mayberry slowed two laps in, bringing the first caution flag of the night. Reutzel shot into the lead on the restart and set sail, getting to lapped traffic by lap seven. Behind him, McCarl, Bunton, Cheris Martin and Colton Fisher followed.
At one point, Reutzel got over the top of the track in turn two and almost hit the tire entering the pit entrance. He righted his sprinter, and still retained a straightaway lead over McCarl. At the halfway point, a 5.4 second lead was erased when Luke Verardi got over the top of turn two and came to a stop, setting up a restart that saw Reutzel leading McCarl, Bunton, Martin and Fisher.
Martin shot into third on the restart, and Cody Wehrle entered the top five. The sixth running Fisher, also took a trip over the top of turn two two laps later, and Garrett Benson did the same on lap 18. Nienhiser was moving up from his 14th starting spot and entered the top five on the lap 17 restart, and took fourth on the restart for Benson.
Reutzel was back into lappers with seven to go, when Cam Martin suffered a flat right rear tire. The last stoppage of the race did not phase Reutzel, and with the track now taking rubber, he maintained his advantage to the checkers, ahead of McCarl, Chris Martin, Nienhiser and Bunton. JJ Hickle, Carson McCarl, Wehrle, hard-charger Dustin Selvage and Cam Sorrels completed the top ten. Reutzel, Tucker Daly, Wehrle and Terry McCarl were heat winners. McCarl also won the Dash. Tanner Gebhardt won the B main.
In addition to a boosted purse made possible by dozens of sponsors, a plethora of contingencies were also handed out (see below).
“There was enough moisture out there to hold on,” said Reutzel of his close call when he drove over the top of turn two early in the feature. “There might have been some rubber laid late, but it was a good race early. The track was awesome. The track was a lot of fun. The car was awesome all night. We really didn’t have to make any changes. We were able to run it really hard.”
“This is such a great event, and they do such a good job of promoting it,” said the second place McCarl. “I really appreciate all the sponsors and doing this for our teams. I’d like to tell them how much we appreciate it. I was happy to run second. My wing broke before the green flag, and I couldn’t move it. I couldn’t fight Aaron off at all, and couldn’t stop him. I was praying for rubber and trying to hang on. We were able get second and a Dash win, so it was a good money night as well. I can’t thank my partners enough.”
“This has been a growing event and the amount of skill that comes in every year just keeps on going up and up,” said the third place Martin. “I’m just very proud of my team for giving me a good car and putting me in a position to finish well.”
“Obviously, we wanted to stand on the top step tonight, but I have to thank Scott Bonar and everyone that helps us,” said Nienhiser of his series championship. “I was lucky enough to drive all the races this year. To cap it off with a championship is what we set our goals to. This is a great group of drivers that run in this series. These guys make me strive to be better. You have that target on your back and you have to work all the harder. It’s a group effort and takes our families to make it possible.”

headlining POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprint League in the POWRi Double presented by

five.
Quickly occurring lap traffic while stretching out a commanding lead, Brian Brown would continue to set the pace out front as the midpoint of the feature would find a second separation between the leading Brown and second-place running Ayrton Gennetten with Kerry Madsen, Hunter Schuerenberg, and Garet Williamson tightly battled inside the top five as Blake Hahn, Danny Sams III, Jason Martin, Xavier Doney, and Zeb Wise ran inside the top ten.

ZACH SOBOTKA DRIVES CAR WITHOUT FRONT WING TO FIRST CAREER CRSA FEATURE
WIN AT UTICA-ROME; HUTTON TAKES I-90 PIT STOP CHALLENGE; PIERCE HAS FOUR-POINT
LEAD INTO CHAMPIONSHIP FINALE
Race Report By: Marty Czekala – September 28, 2024
VERNON, N.Y. – It’s been a season of adaptability for Zach Sobotka.
Entering Friday night’s event at Utica-Rome Speedway, Sobotka had recorded three top 10s in four races, with a best finish of third at Brewerton.
Sobotka redrew the pole and led all 25 laps to take his first career CRSA victory in the I-90 Pit Stop Challenge.
This one took some grit and determination, though.
On lap eight of the feature, the front wing detached from Sobotka’s No. 38, an issue that could affect the aero and downforce of his self-owned 305 Sprint that was recently purchased.
“This thing handled perfectly and then I had to hang on,” said Sobotka. “Made the car a lot tighter. Glad we hung on.”
The pressure affected the handling of his No. 38 but did not deter Sobotka's momentum in clean air.
“When it flew off, I eased up, not knowing what it was going to do,” Sobotka said. “The harder I drove it though, the better it handled for me. I didn’t know what to expect.”
Sobotka drew the pole for the 25-lap feature with Tyler Graves to his outside. Graves wasted no time clearing, but before the first lap was completed, a red flag came out for Tyler Chartrand flipping into the turn three weeds. Chartrand escaped OK.
This brought up a complete double-file restart, which Sobotka cleared. Driving an owned Blake Warner No. 21D, Dillon Paddock made his way up to second on lap five. That all changed on lap eight when Sobotka lost the front wing and Paddock ran over it, damaging part of his ride.
Sobotka continued to hang on after a pair of cautions for Billy VanInwegen and Dalton Herrick slow, consistently leaving the gap at under a second and not looking back to take the checkers.
This makes Hutton the 83rd different winner in CRSA history. With the win, Sobotka becomes the sixth first-time winner this season, joining Tyler Chartrand, Dan Craun, Adam DePuy, Dillon Paddock and Matt Rotz. That’s more than any prior season in the last decade.
“I got my first win in a big block in four starts, five in this,” said Sobotka. “Definitely a big accomplishment for me and all my guys over there. I can’t be thankful enough for all of them.”
Afterward, Sobotka was light for the 1525 lb minimum weight. Per the rulebook infraction, Sobotka receives last-place money and points.
Tyler Graves recorded his best career CRSA finish in second. Dirty air was his disadvantage tonight, and he hoped that the first lap counted.
“I needed that first start to stick,” said Graves, who has four top fives in his last five races. “It was all about dirty air. I could get up to him and get real tight. I don’t know how he held on with no nose wing.”
The points entering tonight’s CRSA feature were tied between Tomy Moreau and Kyle Pierce. With Pierce’s third to Tomy Moreau's fifth-place run, the gap between the top two for the overall points championship is four points.
“That was wild from lap one to 25,” Pierce said. “We had a good battle going on with Tomy. Threw some sliders for a couple laps. We did the best we could do going onto tomorrow.”
Jordan Hutton entered tonight’s I-90 Pit Stop Challenge finale with a 10-point lead on Jeff Trombley. His chances were nearly dashed in heat racing when he damaged the right front drag arm, putting him in the rear of the B-Main where he scored the final transfer spot. It was a feature for Hutton where he had to go “balls to the wall,” but a sixth-place finish and finishing ahead of Trombley was enough to clinch the miniseries.
“I was hitting the cushion as hard as I could,” said Hutton. “We kind of missed it a little, but if we started toward the front, we would've had a good shot. This is the one we were running with for the points. With a busy schedule, it didn’t work out the way we wanted to.”
The No. 66 gained 16 spots from 22nd tonight to earn the Powdertech Powdercoating Hard Charger of the Race.
Sobotka was awarded the Maguire Family of Dealerships Magnificent Move of the Race for racing without a front wing for most of the feature.
CRSA now gets a good night's sleep before the championship finale at Land of Legends Raceway tomorrow night and the finale for the DisBatch Brewing Company Challenge. Can’t make it? Watch live for free on Land of Legends TV and simulcasted on DIRTVision.

Champions Crowned at Skagit Speedway
9/22/24
By Kaleb Hart
Alger, WA - History was made on Saturday night at Skagit Speedway with five drivers taking home titles, highlighted by Jason Solwold becoming the third driver in track history to win track titles in all three winged sprint car divisions.
Results in the Sportsman Sprints and Skagit Aggregates IMCA Modifieds are unofficial at the time of this writing, as officials will be reviewing results Sunday and may issue a correction on current written results. The review is not expected to affect the race winner or championship winner in either division.
A third place run for Solwold was enough to secure the championship in the Karmart 410 division, as Jason came into the night leading driver’s points over Trey Starks and Trey suffered a mechanical malfunction on lap 3 that ended his evening. The main event was dominated by Robbie Price, who led all thirty laps of the feature for the $5,500 to prize, with Colby Thornhill racing to second place in the feature behind him. While Starks suffered a DNF, he did win the Owner’s Championship for his team.
Starks wrapped up the Driver’s and Owner’s Championship in the 360 division with a dominating performance in what was a stop and start A Feature. Trey led every lap in front of the field, with Jesse Schlotfeldt and Robbie Price duking it out behind him for the runner up spot, with Schlotfeldt eventually capturing 2nd for good.
Kai Dixon put the exclamation point on his excellent 2024 by winning the main event and season championship in the Sportsman Sprints. Dixon led all twenty five laps of the main event, keeping Levi Hillier out of the top spot on his way to his first Skagit Speedway title. Hillier and Alden Ostrom rounded out the podium.
In the Skagit Aggregates IMCA Modifieds, Jeff Westergard finished out his stellar year by leading all 25 laps of the feature and rolling away with the track championship to go with it. Ben Gunderson was challenged early and often for his runner up spot but never gave it up to equal his best finish, while Alan Grimbly was third.
Mike Guffey set a new track record in the Hornet class and took the lead from Biran Michelson on lap seven of the main event to finish his year off with a win. Steve Peters was second and Wyatt Covert was third. Michelson secured his second track championship despite a DNF in the main.

Kent repeats as USL champion, Shebester wins at Red Dirt Raceway
By John Rittenoure
MEEKER, Okla. (September 21, 2024) - A highly successful season for the Ortco
Inc. United Sprint League presented by Same Day Auto Repair series came to a
close Saturday at Red Dirt Raceway and defending champion Johnny Kent came away
with another title that was not decided until the final checkered flag.
Kent led the first 22 laps of Saturday’s finale before giving away the lead
and victory to Steven Shebester. But it was still enough for a second USL
championship.
“I love this place,” Kent said of racing at Red Dirt. “I come here over
confident and it does not matter if I start at the back of a heat or what, we
are going to end up at the front when the night is over.
“We started to get a little snug late in the feature. But I knew as long as i
could stay in front of Tim (Kent) we would be alright. I thought we were going
to get another one, but Shebester is tough here.”
Shebester charged from sixth starting position to challenge Kent and got
around him with seven laps remaining.
“The track was pretty tricky and I started being able to get on the wall and
get a little more bit to get off (the turn),” Shebester said of the track
conditions. “I saw we were gaining on him so I picked it up a little bit and was
able to get to him. It was kind of hard getting by, I messed up a little bit. I
got by him and got a good run off and slid him going into 3 and 4.
“This is my first race with (the USL) this year. It is nice to get a win.”
The USL season became a Kent family battle with cousin Tim Kent leading the
points chase for much of the season and Johnny giving chase.
“It started a little rough, had a good run midway then we both tried to give
it away last night”, Kent said of his season that saw him take the point lead
away from Tim for the first time Friday at Creek County Speedway.
However, trouble plagued both Johnny and Tim Friday putting the point outcome
up in the air.
“I have to thank Kelly Fode,” Kent said. “He saved me last year and did it
again last night. We hurt a motor Friday at Creek and he gave us this motor for
the weekend so we could have a shot at this. I ran Kelly’s car at Creek and
change motors this morning.
“Tim had an accident Friday in the B feature and we were 19 points (ahead)
going into last night and came into tonight plus 16. We just did what we could
do.
“It is super cool to be able to do this. We have been at it several years.”
Did Johnny enjoy beating his cousin despite the bad luck both endured.
“Absolutely, he would do the same,” smiled Kent.
Brett Wilson finished third Saturday topping a strong weekend that saw him
run second to Tyler Edwards on Friday. The two finishes moved Wilson to fourth
in the final standings. Tim Kent did manage to finish fourth but it was not
enough to get the points lead back from Johnny. Tanner Conn rounded out the top
five. Friday night winner Edwards climbed to sixth place after winning the B
main earning him a 13th place starting position in the feature.

Franek Victorious in ESS Outlaw Fall Nationals
By Curtis Berleue (Dundee, NY) | For the fourth time in 2024, Davie Franek sat in Empire Super Sprints victory lane on Friday night. After leading just the final three laps, Franek was able to cash in and take home the big check in the Outlaw Fall Nationals at Outlaw Speedway.
Pinnacle Pole Sitter Matt Farnham and Shawn Donath brought the field to the green flag for the 25-lap affair, with Farnham taking the early lead over Donath, Matt Tanner and Davie Franek.
While Farnham and Donath had opened a sizeable gap over the rest of the field, fifth-starting Jason Barney quickly worked his way into the top three utilizing the extreme low side of the speedway. When the leaders reached lap traffic, however, Barney was able to close the gap and moved past Donath into second. Just two laps later, Barney continued his march forward and took the lead from Farnham.
A caution on lap 16 led to a hectic restart, as Donath got sideways between turns one and two. Somehow the driver of the #53 was able to avoid catastrophe and gathered it back together, only losing two spots in the process.
Another restart with just four laps to go again bunched up the field, and working the extreme high side of the Speedway, second running Davie Franek got by Barney with just three laps remaining and never looked back, adding another win at the Outlaw Speedway to his resume.
“There was a little thin curb up there,” said Franek in victory lane. “I really didn’t want to show him (Barney) my nose because I didn’t want him to move up.”
“On the restart there he knew I was on the outside and he kind of crowded me a little bit, but that’s what you gotta do. I had to match with him in the middle of three and four – I just hit the curb enough where I got a little drive, and the rest was history.”
Coming home second was Donath, who recovered well from his mid-race setback.
“On that restart I thought Jason was going to slide across and try to pinch me on the top there, and he didn’t move up and I had nowhere to go,” said Donath. “We were able to recover, the track was super racey and we were pretty good wherever we went.”
After leading 10 laps, Jason Barney rounded out the Ashley Lynn Winery podium in third.
“Thankful to be down here, the racetrack was good, we had good track position,” said Barney. “Early in the race, the bottom was good and really no one was there. I thought we had enough racecar to win but obviously we didn’t.”
“When you’re leading you don’t really know what to do, where to go. He (Franek) did a good job. That one stings a little bit but happy to be third.”
The field was split into three timed hot lap groups to start the night, with Matt Tanner, Jared Zimbardi and Davie Franek earning Rifenburg Contracting fast time awards in their respective groups. E&V Energy heat wins went to Jordan Poirier, Jason Barney and Matt Farnham, while the Cobra Coaches Dash presented by Fratto Curbing was won by Jeff Halligan.

DAVE BLANEY CALLS IT A CAREER AFTER WINNING THE "LOU BLANEY MEMORIAL" FOR
THE 3RD TIME WITH THE "410" SPRINTS AT SHARON; ERICK RUDOLPH CAPS OFF
CHAMPIONSHIP BRP TOUR SEASON WITH 3RD BIG-BLOCK MOD WIN
September 21, 2024 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
By Mike Leone
(Hartford, OH)... After some early morning rain, the skies cleared and turned into a beautiful day at Sharon Speedway for the rescheduled 16th annual "Lou Blaney Memorial" on Saturday night. The event got underway on August 17 until rain overspread the area after Sprint Car qualifying. On that night, Ryan Blaney was on hand to remember his grandfather, raise funds for the Alzheimer's Association and celebrate his 2023 NASCAR Cup Series Championship. While Ryan was unable to return on Saturday, the fans packed the grandstands for the largest crowd of the season outside of the World of Outlaws Sprint Car event. Sixty-nine race cars were on hand for the two-division show as Dave Blaney (Hovis Auto & Truck Supply "410" Sprint Cars presented by Bala Management) and Erick Rudolph (BRP Big-Block Modified Tour) celebrated in the Hovis Auto & Truck Supply victory lane.
There's no better way to go out in sports than doing it on top and on Saturday night Dave Blaney decided the time was right. The National Sprint Car Hall of Famer regained the lead back from Ryan Smith on lap eight then held off a last lap charge by central Pennsylvania standout Danny Dietrich to win the 30-lap "Lou Blaney Memorial" for the third time. In the 16-year history, Blaney is the only Sprint Car driver to win the event more than once and Saturday night's sendoff in memory of his father was worth $12,000 for the 95-time World of Outlaws winner and 1995 champion, who began his career in 1981. Blaney also won the event in 2014 and became the first repeat winner in 2018.
"This is big," expressed the emotional 61-year-old Hartford, Ohio native. "This is a race Dale (Blaney) and I try to win every year. To beat that guy (Danny Dietrich) in my last race...because I'm officially done right now- there's no better way to retire than to win this one."
"It was a great race," added Blaney. "I don't think I was the fastest car by any means. The 6 (Smith) had trouble and the 48 (Dietrich) was all over me, but we hung on. I tried to protect and saw where Danny was getting his runs from. You don't think too much and run as hard as you can and hope you don't give him a lane to drive up in front of you. I can't believe we did it- this is awesome. Thank you to everyone for coming out."
Blaney drew the pole for the feature and took off in the lead over Smith and fellow National Sprint Car Hall of Famer Tim Shaffer. Brandon Spithaler had the top working going sixth to fourth on the opening lap then drove around Shaffer for third. Smith found the topside to his liking as he made the pass of Blaney off turn two to lead lap three. By lap four, the lead trio of Smith, Blaney, and Spithaler pulled away from the pack until a caution for Greg Wilson with four laps scored. Wilson had charged from 20th to 12th before clipping an infield tire and knocking the front end out.
Back under green, eyes shifted to northern Ohio standout Cap Henry. Henry started seventh and moved into the top five on lap five then drove under Shaffer for fourth on lap six. Back up front, Smith was setting a good pace. Smith, who won the $4,000 Western PA Speedweek event on June 1 at Sharon, was trying for a payoff of three times that for the central Pa. based BJD Motorsports team. Smith though got into the turn four fence on lap eight allowing Blaney to regain the lead. Spithaler then passed Smith for second on lap 10 before a caution for Logan McCandless. Under caution Smith had to pit with a flat tire.
Henry and Dietrich were swapping fourth place back and forth with Dietrich getting the spot before the caution then inherited third when Smith exited. When racing resumed on lap 11, Henry regained third. By the halfway point, the top three of Blaney, Spithaler, and Henry opened up ground on the rest of the field. Henry snuck under and past Spithaler for second on lap 18 with Dietrich following in third one lap later. Spithaler got into the fence and slowed with a flat tire to bring out the event's final caution with 19 laps scored.
The caution wasn't what Henry wanted to see as it appeared as if he had the fastest car and a great opportunity to overtake Blaney for the lead. Henry was fresh off a $30,000 victory one week ago at Fremont Speedway and had his sights set on a fourth career Sharon win. When green replaced yellow on lap 20, Dietrich passed Henry once again- this time for second, and two laps later lost third to Cale Thomas.
With five laps to go, Dietrich closed in on Blaney. The two raced side-by-side in turns three and four for several laps. On the final lap, Blaney ducked low in lapped traffic opening up the top lane for Dietrich. It appeared Dietrich may have had enough momentum to sweep around Blaney in turn two, but Blaney got to the top just in time to shunt his run. Then Dietrich tried to get under Blaney in turn three, but Blaney shut the door just in time. Blaney took his Ryan Blaney Family Foundation/DRE Custom Trailers-sponsored #10 to his 38th career Sharon victory by 0.519 seconds. Blaney also became the season's fifth different winner in five "410" Sprint Car races.
Dietrich, who won the $5,000 Ohio Speedweek show on June 12, settled for the $4,000 runner-up after making the last minute decision to bring the Gary Kauffman-owned #48 west after the morning rainout at BAPS Motor Speedway. "I raced my ass off and it's a tough one to swallow with a four and a half four drive back home but I have a lot of respect for that guy (Dave Blaney)," stated the 36-year-old Gettysburg, Pa. driver. "We come here to win and don't make any friends on the race track, but you have to race him with respect for one of the most respectful people on the race track. It's fun to race with him. He's fast here so to run second- we'll take it, but wish we were one spot better."
"I feel like we were a tick better than him at the end there," continued
Dietrich. "He doesn't make any mistakes. I knew he could see me and had to have
heard me for awhile. I thought if I could rattle his cage and maybe get in front
of him, but I didn't want to crash him or myself. I know how special this race
is to the Blaney Family and it's a race he should ultimately win. It's pretty
cool to be able to run this race. Thanks to everyone for coming out- it's a
packed house and I love to see it. I love Sharon and love coming out here when
we can. If the situation is the same next week maybe we'll back for the Outlaws.
We have a pretty damn good car for this place."
Fifth starting Thomas came on late to finish third in Jay Kiser's #23. After winning the Attica Raceway Park track championship on Friday night with a runner-up finish, Henry, the 2024 AFCS Champion, settled for fourth in Jeff Ward's #33w. Shaffer was fifth in the Demyan/Rudzik #49x. Dale Blaney, who won the 2019 "Lou Blaney Memorial", took the Tiger Barris #32B from the 14th starting spot to a 6th place finish. Cole Duncan was 7th after starting 12th. Completing the top 10 were A.J. Flick, Carl Bowser, and Ricky Peterson.
Spithaler set fast time overall against the 38-car field in qualifying with a lap of 13.769 to earn $250 from Knox Bakery. Heat winners were Lee Jacobs, Henry, Shaffer, and Dave Blaney, while Michael Bauer won the last chance B main. Eight drivers were unable to return from the August 17 rainout meaning a total of 46 different Sprints were on hand between the two nights.
Erick Rudolph joined Dave Blaney as a three-time winner of the "Lou Blaney Memorial" on the Big-Block Modified side. The New York standout capped off his third straight BRP Tour championship and fifth of his career by passing Mike Kinney on lap 15 to capture the victory in the 35-lap Hovis Auto & Truck Supply feature worth $2,500. It was also Rudolph's third Sharon win of the season as he won in all three appearances worth a total of $6,500.
"This is the first time we've come here this year when the track was slick from top to bottom," acknowledged the 32-year-old Ransomville, NY racer. "It took us a handful of laps to get going but then the car came alive and I was along for the ride. I was able to do what my car wanted to do as it was dialed in. It's been a great season and this locked us in for the championship. I have to thank my family for all the support at home, and all the guys that come with me each and every race to make sure the car is in tip top shape which makes it easy for me. I also have to thank all of my sponsors to make sure we have exactly what we need to go up and down the road."
Rex King, Jr. drew the pole and took off in the early lead over Kinney and Garrett Krummert. King, who won the 2014 and 2019 events, was also looking for his third event win as he pulled away on lap three. The battle was on for second as Kinney was trying to fend off Krummert and Rudolph before a caution for Steve Slater with 10 laps completed.
When racing resumed on lap 11, fifth starting Rudolph took third from Krummert. Kinney surprised everyone as he went to the top and drove around King in turn four to lead lap 12. Rudolph would get by King for second on lap 14 before a four-car accident in turn three. Back under green on lap 15, Kinney got too high and hit the fence allowing Rudolph to make the winning pass. King regained second on lap 17 getting by Kinney. A caution for Rodney Beltz slowed action for the final time of the event with 19 laps completed.
In the final 16 laps, King stayed within striking distance and closed late in lapped traffic, but Rudolph held on to win by 0.797 seconds. Rudolph's seventh career Sharon win came in the Briggs Motorsports-owned, Stirling Lubricants/Highmark/Nationals Maintenance Contracting/Snyder Industries/United Steelworkers-sponsored #25. Rudolph has now won three of the last five "Lou Blaney Memorial" events for the Modifieds and has given outside invaders five straight wins against the locals.
After finishing fifth in his first ever Sharon appearance on August 10, Canadian Dalton Slack returned and did two spots better after starting eighth. Krummert was fourth. Kinney dropped to fifth, but still a great effort for the former UMP Modified racer. Ninth starting Jeremiah Shingledecker was sixth. Tyler Willard, another Canadian, was seventh over Jordan Ehrenberg and Dave Murdick. Brad Rapp raced from 18th to 10th. Jeff Miller went 22nd to 12th and earned the $100 Summit Racing Equipment hard charger gift card.
Heat winners were Rudolph, Krummert, Murdick, and Willard, while third generation racer, Hayden Holden, won the last chance B main in his second visit. There were 31 cars on hand, and like the Sprint Cars, eight drivers were unable to return from August 17 bringing the count to 39 different cars.
The next and final event of the 2024 season will be next Saturday ( September 28) for the return of the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series for $12,000 to-win. The Economod Mania Tour will also be on hand for $800 to-win presented by Alcon Mechanical. Reserved seats and advance general admission tickets are available through the WoO at https://mpv.tickets.com/?agency=WRG_SNG_MPV&orgid=52711&eventId=104123. Tickets will be available at the gates.

Sam Hafertepe Jr Snags Win with POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprints at Creek County Speedway
Sapulpa, OK. (9/21/24) Sam Hafertepe Jr would prove his on-track veteran
status by biding his time for the precise moment and racing to victory with the
POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprint League in Night Two of the T2 Promotions Sooner Showdown
presented by Start2Finish TV to notch his second league victory and earn the
outstanding feature victory at Creek County Speedway.
Charging onto the Creek County Speedway with the POWRi 410s would see
previous night winner Noah Gass set a quick qualifying time of 12.301-second lap
with Cody Gardner and Kyle Clark each earning heat racing victories.
Captivating the crowd on the initial green flag start with high-point
qualifier Cody Gardner and Ayrton Gennetten lined up in the front row as Cody
Gardner would gain the lead on the opening lap with Ayrton Gennetten, Sam
Hafertepe Jr, Lane Goodman, and Kyle Clark all raced within the top five.
Cruising out front comfortably for the majority of the early laps, Cody
Gardner would appear to be the fastest on a tricky track surface as lap traffic
would enter into the fray around the mid-point of the feature event with Sam
Hafertepe Jr moving into the runner-up spot as Ayrton Gennetten, Kyle Clark, and
Xavier Doney all kept pace inside the battling top five.
Leading late, Cody Gardner would continue to outrun Sam Hafertepe Jr by
running the top line around Creek County Speedway as Xavier Doney began a charge
to the front of the field by using the very different low side speed to gain on
the leading pair, even creeping into contention for the top spot as caution
would wave before Doney could capitalize.
Using a late-race restart with five laps remaining to perfection, Sam
Hafertepe Jr would rise to the occasion and blast past Cody Gardner for the
preferred position as Gardner would instantly change lines to keep Doney at bay
in third.
Holding steady for the final four revolutions, Sam Hafertepe Jr would not be
denied in earning his first seasonal POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprint victory in an
action-packed main event with the leader of twenty-six laps Cody Gardner staying
in the runner-up position as the checkers waved.
“I was biding my time early while waiting for the bottom to come in but we
were so fast up top, Xavier showed me the line with the caution coming out at a
perfect time for me. He might have won if the yellow didn’t come out but that’s
happened to me before and sometimes it just falls your way,” said a very pleased
Sam Hafertepe Jr in the Sapulpa Oklahoma victory lane ceremony celebrations.
Adding, “I wish we could have gotten it done last night but to come back here
tonight and get it done feels better with the big payday”.
Contesting closely behind would find Xavier Doney placing on the final podium
placement from the starting ninth on the initial green flag. Point leader Ayrton
Gennetten would be among the frontrunners all feature to fourth as Blake Hahn
would drive through the field after a lap six work area visit to round out the
top-five finishers for the POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprints in Night Two of the T2
Promotions Sooner Showdown presented by Start2Finish TV at Creek County
Speedway.

Andy Forsberg strikes for SCCT Adobe Cup glory at Petaluma Speedway
By Gary Thomas
Petaluma, CA…Auburn’s Andy Forsberg has always been fond of competing at the sticky and hooked up Petaluma Speedway. On Saturday night the SCCT point leader put together a dominating performance in the feature, racking up $5,500 by way of winning the 13th annual Adobe Cup.
The now 27-time Sprint Car champion piloted the Pacific Highway Rentals/ Pit Stop USA No. 92 to his 5th career Sprint Car Challenge Tour victory, placing him into a tie with Colby Copeland for fourth all-time.
“That track was certainly right up my alley in the main event,” Forsberg said on the front stretch. “I know that some of the newer generation of drivers don’t particularly enjoy a track like that, but it brought back a lot of memories of the old days. I took an extra lap at the end just to soak it all in. My guys gave me an amazing car there, so I really have to thank them and all the fans for coming out to support the Adobe Cup.”
Ocean Speedway champion Caleb Debem jumped out front at the waving of the green flag in the Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour finale. Debem set the pace up front until Forsberg blasted by for the lead on lap four, which he would never relinquish.
Following that Forsberg had his way with things and had to survive an excessive amount of restarts, but each time hit his marks to perfection. The recently crowned Placerville Speedway champ rocketed away to bring home the $5,000 grand prize, along with the $500 Shop Kyle Larson Bonus as a full-time car winning the feature.
Dunnigan youngster Luke Hayes put together the finest night of his Sprint Car Challenge Tour career, winning the High Sierra Dash and scoring a runner up finish in the main event. Roseville’s Sean Becker did a fantastic job in the 35-lapper to carve his way from 16th to third, rounding out the podium. It marked his fourth top-five effort of the year with SCCT.
Jodie Robinson looked impressive for the second week in a row and brought home a fourth-place result at the checkered flag. The Roseville driver had battled her way to second at one point on a restart, only to have a slowdown negate the beautiful move.
Placerville’s Shane Hopkins continued his strong 2024 campaign by earning the Pit Stop USA Hard Charger Award with an exquisite run from 19th to fifth. The 30-year-old set fast time to begin the night, however, a seventh-place finish in his heat race set him farther back to start the main.
Completing the top-10 in the Adobe Cup finale were John Clark, Kurt Nelson, Dustin Freitas, Bradley Terrell and Brad Bumgarner.
Nelson was another driver who had a solid night, but experienced tough luck in the main event. The past Ocean titlist had raced his way into second on lap 23, only to have a lapped car spin in front of him with three circuits remaining. Nelson had nowhere to go and brought out a caution but was able to salvage a seventh-place effort at the end.
The Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour heads next for Hanford’s Kings Speedway on Friday October 4th. The event marks the 39th running of the Cotton Classic.

Mintz gets exciting last lap 410 Fremont win; Kalib Henry is champ
Saturday, Sept. 21, 2024
By Brian Liskai
Fremont, Ohio – Most racers will tell you it’s better to be running second toward the end of a race. That is exactly what benefitted Craig Mintz Saturday, Sept. 21 at Fremont Speedway Presented by Gill Construction on Fremont Federal Credit Union Night.
Mintz, from Gibsonburg, Ohio, pressured Kalib Henry the last third of the Fort Ball Pizza Palace 410 Sprint feature. Henry switched his line on the last lap, opening the top side of the track for Mintz who drove to the top side and around Henry for his first win of the year at Fremont. Mintz, a former four time Fremont track champion, earned his 18th career win at “The Track That Action Built” over Henry, Chris Andrews, Bryce Lucius and Trey Jacobs. Jacobs lead the first four laps before sixth starter Henry blasted into the lead, setting up the dramatic last lap pass by fifth starter Mintz to steal the win.
“That’s the benefit of running second every now and then. I think he was better on the top in one and two and he switched his line which helped me get a run. That’s the great thing about not running for points…if I would have stuck it in the fence I wouldn’t have cared,” said Mintz beside his Real Geese Decoys, Modern Woodman of America, Seagate Sandblasting, Brown Family Construction, Linder’s Speed Equipment, Bettsville Legion, DMI Racing, Keizer Wheels backed #09.
Henry, who scored five wins at Fremont in 2024, finishing second for the fifth time this year earned him the track’s division championship. Henry becomes the second driver from California to earn a Fremont Speedway track title, joining Michael “Buddy” Kofoid who claimed the title in 2019.
“I just messed up there. I made the wrong decision. I was running the top the whole race and saw him show a nose. Stupid on my part…I let him make me change what I was doing. I should have let him slide me or do something different there. Big picture….we won the championship and I appreciate the fans for coming out….but damn second sucks,” said Henry.
The Fremont Federal Credit Union 305 Sprints also had the fans on their feet. Jimmy McGrath led laps 1-24 but on the last lap his teammate, Dustin Dinan, got a tremendous run on the outside groove. The pair had a drag race coming to the checkers with Dinan squeaking out his ninth career win at Fremont by a mere .008 seconds over McGrath, Dustin Stroup, Brendan Torok and Kasey Ziebold.
“We’ve been working on this thing and making changes the last month and it paid off. It’s been since 2010 since I’ve won here. It’s the last race of the year and just let it all hang out. I can’t thank the McGraths enough for giving me the opportunity to race again. It’s been a lot of fun,” said Dinan beside his McGrath Racing, Rocket Shop, Gill Sawmill, Level Utilities, Level Performance, D2 Excavating backed #5DD.
Fremont, Ohio’s Jamie Miller, despite flipping in the feature, claimed his first ever 305 sprint track title, adding to his 2024 Attica Raceway Park championship and the title of the Attica Fremont Championship Series. He joins his dad, Skip, who won the 305 track championship in 1991. It’s his second overall track title as he claimed the dirt truck championship in 2022.
“We put in a lot of hard work to win all three of these titles this year. I wish we would have had a better championship night but you can’t win them all. We finally figured this place out. As I got older I slowed down a little bit and tried not to wreck and finish the race. We’ve been fast the past couple of years and dad can’t have that championship over me anymore,” said Miller.
In a caution filled 20-lap Burmeister Trophy Dirt Truck feature, Fostoria, Ohio’s Shawn Valenti took the lead from Kent Brewer on lap four and held off several challenges from Brewer and Keith Sorg to score his 7th win of the year at Fremont. The victory puts Valenti in a tied atop the track’s all-time win list with Paul Weaver, both having 81 career feature wins. Steve Miller would charge from 15th to second with Sorg, Brewer and Brad Stuckey rounding out the top five.
“I didn’t think that one was ever going to be over. Once we got this new truck out it’s been one of those years where we aren’t looking forward the season be over. Hats off to Ron Miller Race Cars. This thing has been phenomenal since we brought it out. Thanks to all my guys for all their hard work in the shop and at the track,” said Valenti beside his Craig Miller Trucking, Conrad Transportation, Dave Story Equipment, A Plus Auto Center, Concrete Material Supply, S&S Hauling and Excavating backed #7B.
Sorg claimed his third truck championship to go with his 2016 and 2018 titles.
“We built this truck two years ago and we did it for half the money…home built and built by us,” said Sorg.
Fremont Speedway will wrap up the 2024 racing season on Friday, Oct. 11 with the super late models and the dirt trucks/stock cars.

Noah Gass Gains Checkers with POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprints at Creek County Speedway
Sapulpa, OK. (9/20/24) Noah Gass would fly to the front of the field past
five other competitors with the POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprint League in Night One of
the T2 Promotions Sooner Showdown presented by Start2Finish TV to notch his
inaugural league victory and earn the outstanding twenty-five lap feature
victory at Creek County Speedway.
Flying onto the smooth surface with eager entrants of the POWRi 410s would
see Sam Hafertepe Jr set a quick qualifying time of 11.755-second lap with
Xavier Doney and Noah Gass each earning heat racing victories.
Captivating the crowd on the initial green flag start with high-point
qualifier Sam Hafertepe Jr and Rees Moran lined up in the front row as Sam
Hafertepe Jr would gain the lead on the opening lap with Reese Moran, Xavier
Doney, Noah Gass, and Kyle Clark all racing within the early top five.
Overtaking for the top spot in a flurry of fast-paced laps, Rees Moran would gain the lead on the second lap as Xavier Doney battled into the runner-up spot with Noah Gass rapidly gaining on the leading pair of drivers.
Cruising out front with lap traffic quickly coming into play, Rees Moran and Noah Gass put on a dazzling display of on-track driving with Gass flat-footing to the front of the field on lap four around the top side of the track with Moran never really going away from the top spot battle.
Leading the final twenty-one laps through the thick of lap traffic, Noah Gass would not be denied in earning his first career POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprint victory in an action-packed main event with Rees Moran hustling into the runner-up position by only three-tenths of a second after leading a trio of laps.
“I couldn’t get past lap traffic and when Rees showed me his nose, I knew I had to find some grip and go,” said an elated Noah Gass in the Sapulpa Oklahoma victory lane ceremony celebrations. Adding, “This is really sweet to get it done at what I consider a home track. Great team win, we needed this one after Rees got me in the last one, so now we’re even and I may have something for them tomorrow too”.
Challenging closely behind would find leader of lap one Sam Hafertepe Jr placing on the final podium placement with hard-charger Cody Gardner among the frontrunners late after advancing seven spots to finish fourth as Blake Hahn would round out the top-five finishers for the POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprints in Night One of the T2 Promotions Sooner Showdown presented by Start2Finish TV at Creek County Speedway.

HERRICK SCORES MILESTONE 10TH CAREER WIN; KYLE PIERCE WINS INAUGURAL JOE’S GARAGE SOUTHERN TIER SERIES CHAMPIONSHIP
Race Report By: Marty Czekala – September 21, 2024
CORTLAND, N.Y. – Dalton Herrick has been waiting since last September to join the double digits wins club in CRSA action.
With assistance from long-time girlfriend Takla, Herrick drew pole position for the 25-lap feature and led green to checkered to take his first win of the season at Skyline Raceway Motorsports Park and career win No. 10.
"We've drawn terrible all year, she put us on the front and I got Mike VanDusen turning the wrenches tonight,” said Herrick in victory lane. “He gave me an incredible hot rod. I gave him some feedback and he knew what to do to make this thing fast."
The win for Herrick breaks a tie with Mike Kiser for ninth on the all-time CRSA wins list.
The No. 29 and Jerry Sehn Jr. brought the field to green for 25 laps in the Joe's Garage Southern Tier Series finale. Herrick wasted no time clearing the No. 410 with Scott Landers not too far behind.
Herrick approached lapped traffic before the first yellow on lap six for Kirsten Dombroski off the pace.
On the restart, Herrick held serve as Landers and CRSA debutant Mikey Smith battled for second. Herrick opened up a two-second lead before the second yellow before the halfway mark for an accident involving Nathan Pierce and Michael Hart in turn one.
Herrick would not look back as the battle for second heated up in the final laps between Smith, Landers and Tomy Moreau. Herrick took the checkered flag to win his first in a calendar year.
Entering the feature, Herrick was the only driver who had raced at both prior CRSA features at Skyline. Did having more races on the 3/8-mile track become a factor?
“I think it helps,” said Herrick. “The track was a little different. I like the reconfigure with the wiped out backstretch and being able to get on the fence. They gave us a really fun track tonight.”
Mikey Smith made the pass for the runner-up spot with two to go past Landers. In his debut, Smith won his heat race, started fifth and moved up three spots. In a car that was driven by brother Johnny Smith this year, it was a successful night for the driver of the No. 4S.
“The last time I was here was in a micro sprint,” said Smith. “Didn’t know what I was gonna walk into or how fast I was gonna be. We showed we had speed. We’ve been trying to crack the top five everywhere I go. I’m glad we were able to get it done tonight.”
Scott Landers rounded out the podium in third, tying his best finish of the season going back to Weedsport in May.
“It was a good race,” said Landers. “Little eerie about this track coming up here, but it is awesome. Great group of people here and happy to be here to finish third.”
For the Joe's Garage Southern Tier Series championship, Kyle Pierce needed an eighth-place finish or better after heat points to win the championship.
Starting ninth in the feature, Pierce moved up to seventh by lap nine. Just before the halfway point, Pierce took sixth from father Cliff. He would look to grab one more spot from Jerry Sehn Jr., but unofficially, “The Flyin’ School Teacher” scores his second miniseries championship of the year.
“It’s always nice coming back to tracks close to home,” said Pierce. “I grew up racing bullrings, doing this feels more natural than the big momentum tracks. Still a good snack Monday.”
With two races remaining in the overall points chase, Pierce and Tomy Moreau are tied for the lead while Dalton Herrick is 21 behind.
Mikey Smith was named the Powdertech Powdercoating Hard Charger of the Race, starting fifth and finishing second, gaining three spots.
Under the weather, Blake Warner finished 17th, but it took guts to take the green in the feature, not feeling 100 percent. Warner was given the Maguire Family of Dealerships Magnificent Move of the Race for that.
17 drivers checked into Skyline tonight.
Next week, “The Future Stars of Sprint Cars” conclude their 2024 points season with a doubleheader at Utica-Rome Speedway Friday in the I-90 Pit Stop Challenge and at Land of Legends Raceway Saturday in the DisBatch Brewing Company Challenge. Action can be seen on FloRacing Friday and Land of Legends TV/DIRTVision Saturday.

Jedrzejek steals his 1st 410 sprint win on last corner last lap at Attica; Cap Henry claims 3rd track title
Friday, Sept. 20, 2024
By Brian Liskai
ATTICA, Ohio – A caution flag with just one lap to go in the 410 sprint feature on the last race of the 2024 season at Attica Raceway Park set up a shoot-out. Rookie Kasey Jedrzejek, 19, drove under Cap Henry on the last corner of the last lap to steal his first career division win on Kistler Racing Products/Custom Chrome Plating/Great Lakes Trucks Center/All Pro Aluminum Cylinder Heads Presents the Mark Keegan Classic Championship Night.
Jedrzejek, who has five 360 sprint wins in 2024, started fifth in the field and trailed early race leader Stuart Brubaker, Leyton Wagner, Chris Andrews, Cap Henry and Trey Jacobs early as only two cautions fell during the 30-lap feature for the Callie’s Performance Products 410 Sprints. Henry took second on lap 10 and drove into the lead at the halfway point and appeared headed to victory. Then the caution flew after the white flag had fallen setting up the shoot-out.
On the restart Henry went to the bottom and Jedrzejek took to the cushion and got a tremendous run exiting turn two setting up the move in turn four to get the win over Henry, 11th starter Cale Thomas, Brubaker and 13th starter Kalib Henry.
“I ran the top the whole race….ran it hard and lost brakes about half way. That caution helped me get them back…I had used them up. My helmet shield was flying up every time I entered the corner so I was just praying I didn’t go off the edge. That yellow came out and I really wasn’t sure if I was second or third and I saw I was second on the board and I thought I had a shot. I felt good running the top so I got a good run off of two. I thought Cap would go to the bottom but he went to the middle and I just stuck it in there. I have to thank Ed Neumeister for giving me the opportunity, and Kent, John and Jason have been working hard all year and struggled first half of the year and we’ve turned it around the second half of the year,” said Jedrzejek beside his : Mr. Heater, Heat Star, Cherry’s Outdoor World, Cherry’s Propane, Team Line’m Up, Heitmeyer Concrete, Chalkstix, Elite Wings, Fisher Custom Printing, Ronda Jedrzejek Howard Hanna, DiBaggio Family, Perfection Fabricators, Simpson Race Products, FK Rod End, Sips-N-Such, BEI Supply & Rental, Nagy Coatings, Southgate Lanes backed #11N.
Henry earned his third Attica 410 track championship to go with his 2024 Attica Fremont Championship Series title.
“My guys did a great job all year. We came from behind and it takes a team to make up for that and I’ve got a great one. Zack and Jeff and Chris and Chad and Gary really did a good job all year long,” said Henry who missed the opening night of the season and came back strong for the 2024 title.
After Rusty Schlenk lead the first 10 laps of the 25-lap the Whistle Stop Presents the Dirt Nerds Podcast Powered by Propane UMP Late Model feature, Ashland, Ohio’s Ryan Markham drove under him to take the top spot and drove to his second win of the year in the non-stop affair. Schlenk, Casey Noonan, Mike Bores and Kyle Moore rounded out the top five. It’s Markham’s 25th career late model win at Attica.
“Rusty and Kyle have pretty much won everything here this year except for Mikey (Bores) and me getting just one. So to beat them is an accomplishment. The car was just really good…it’s been good since I made a bunch of changes to it about two months ago,” said Markham beside his B&B Drain Service, Beer Barrel Drive Thru, After Burner Performance, Chuys Tacos & Margaritas, Monster Motors, Last Mango Soap Company, Backin the Barn Boutique, Ocala Restaurant Supply, Mar Trucking, Schaeffers Racing Oil by Kevin Hill, TGR Performance backed #5M.
Moore earned his first ever Attica late model track title to go with his 2024 Wayne County Speedway championship as well.
“We got 20 wins this year and two track championships. It’s just a great year,” said Moore.
Jimmy McGrath lead the opening three laps of the Fremont Fence 305 sprint feature before Seth Schneider took over. Schneider lead until just five laps to go when 10th starter Dustin Stroup used lap cars to drive into the lead. Jamie Miller closed quickly on Stroup when the caution flew just after the white flag appeared, setting up another one lap shoot-out. Stroup hit his marks perfectly and drove to his third division win of the year at Attica, the eighth of his career at the track and the sixth overall feature win of 2024. Miller, Dustin Dinan, Schneider and Brendan Torok rounded out the top five.
“I was hot when that caution came out. But, I’ve been in that situation before. You just have to keep calm, keep a cool head and don’t over think it. The lines I was running coming up through the field…if I could hit my marks I’ll be fine coming off of turn two. We’ve had an awesome year. I can’t thank everyone enough for all they do….Jamie and Renee, mom and dad, Katie…everybody that’s on this car,” said Stroup beside his Sulfur Town Pub, BSE Welding, Meru Safety, Velocity Print, The Pizza House, Sunrise Designs, Momma Dukes from Shelluke’s Bar and Grill, GCE LLC, Handy Grafix, Mitten Painting, Myers Racing Engines, Rohr Total Lawn Care, Eye Candy Custom Cycles, DJ Johnson & Family, GWH, Advance Auto Parts, BRS, J&J Auto backed #12x.
Miller earned his fifth 305 sprint division Attica title to go with his Attica Fremont Championship Series title for 2024.
“There’s been a lot of guys that have come and gone and I’ve raced with a lot of good guys and learned a lot watching them race and incorporated it into what I do and tried to make myself better. Hopefully we can get the Fremont title tomorrow too,” said Miller.
Attica Raceway Park Promoter John Bores and Director of Operations Justin Liskai thanked all the great fans, race teams, track employees, push truck and wrecker operators and marketing partners for a great 2024 racing season at “Ohio’s Finest Racing” speed facility.

RYAN TURNER WINS IN 20TH EDITION OF NORTHERN SPRINT CAR NATIONALS AT OHSWEKEN; BEGOLO TAKES CRATE SPRINT VICTORY
Article Credit: Brent Otchere
OHSWEKEN, Ont. (September 14, 2024) – Nitro 54 Variety, Arrow Express, and Sit’n Bull Tire presented the 20th Running of the Northern Sprint Car Nationals at Ohsweken Speedway on Saturday; Ryan Turner took the $30,000 A-Main win for the 360 Sprint Cars, while Brent Begolo won in the Crate Sprint division.
Northern Sprint Car Nationals 360 Sprint Cars
J.J. Hickle and Cory Turner earned front row starting positions for the 35 lap
Northern Sprint Car Nationals 360 Sprint Car A-Main. Hickle had a dream start to
the race, quickly catching the back of the 30 car field by lap six. Cory Turner
became the new leader on lap eleven after chasing Hickle down. Turner’s lead was
short-lived though, as Aaron Turkey spun and brought out the caution flag. Josh
Hansen claimed the lead on the restart, becoming the third leader of the race,
while Hickle began to fade through the field.
2024 Ohsweken track champion Dylan Westbrook started in the tenth row, but began to make his presence known as he raced himself into fifth place with ten laps to go. Two-time Nationals champion Ryan Turner also moved steadily forward from a row seven start and eventually passed Hansen for the lead on lap 27.
Anyone who saved their tires turned up the wick in the closing laps, however this hard racing resulted in contact between Jason Barney and Westbrook who were both inside the top five at the time. The damage led to Westbrook crashing hard into the inside wall in turn one and flipping, bringing out the red flag. Both drivers were unharmed in the accident.
The restart set up a three lap dash to the finish, and saw Ryan Turner stay up front to win his third Northern Sprint Car Nationals and the $30,000 grand prize. Nick Sheridan pushed hard, but had to settle for a runner-up finish after running out of fuel. Hansen took the final podium spot, followed by 2023 Nationals winner Mike Bowman in fourth, and Cory Turner in fifth. Jordan Poirier took the Hard Charger award after coming from the B-Main to finish sixth in the A-Main, while Joe Trenca, Liam Martin, Matt Billings, and Darren Dryden claimed top ten finishes.
Strickland’s Crate Sprint Cars
Brian Nanticoke and Keegan Baker brought the field to the green flag for the 20
lap Crate Sprint Car A-Main. Baker made quick work of Nanticoke, taking the lead
of the race by the end of the first lap.
Baker had to hold off the field of stout drivers on several restarts as multiple caution flags fell during the race. He successfully kept the pressure under control all the way up to four laps left to go when traffic began to play a role.
Northern Crate Nationals champion Brent Begolo bided his time behind Baker, applying tremendous pressure on the young racer. Baker suffered a punctured left rear tire after contact while negotiating traffic, allowing Begolo to snatch the lead with just two laps left to go.
Begolo went on to claim another victory in his rookie season, quickly becoming an impressive driver in the Crate Sprint division. 2024 track champion Brett Stratford finished in second, with New York racer Josh Verne Jr finding the final podium position. Mack DeMan finished in fourth, while Lucas Smith rounded out the top five.

Tony Gomes races to Coors Light Big Trophy Night win/ Andy Forsberg claims 10th Placerville title
By Gary Thomas
Placerville, CA…Modesto’s Tony Gomes tallied his second Thompson’s Winged Sprint Car win of the season on Saturday at Placerville Speedway, while Auburn’s Andy Forsberg secured his 10th career track championship.
Fellow winners on Coors Light Big Trophy Championship Night included Ray Trimble with the Mountain Democrat Late Models, Nick Baldwin with the Red Hawk Casino Pure Stocks and Austin Struthers with the Mountain Democrat Mini Trucks.
Martinez driver Anthony Slaney locked up the Late Model title, with Baldwin earning his sixth Pure Stock championship. Mike Miller also claimed his third Mini Truck title on Saturday.
The 25-lap Sprint Car feature began with Jodie Robinson, Andy Forsberg and Tony Gomes battling up front. Multiple different leaders were seen in the main event, with Forsberg up front until Robinson drove by early on.
Several cautions plagued the contest over the first five laps, but in between them the action continued to be hot and heavy. Restarts made things interesting, and Gomes soon found his groove, getting into second on lap nine. He then made the move by Robinson on lap 10 and looked to pull away from the pack.
Placerville’s Shane Hopkins was also on the charge from his 12th starting spot. Hopkins ran the bottom side to perfection and grabbed second on lap 16. Lapped traffic late in the going made things hectic for Gomes, which allowed Hopkins to close the gap.
Gomes hit his marks however and crossed under the Ron Stahl checkered flag for victory over Hopkins, Robinson, Bubba Decaires and Jake Andreotti in the top-five. Forsberg crossed the stripe in sixth and it was good enough to wrap up championship 10 at Placerville. Decaires finished second, just seven markers back, while Gomes missed out on the title by only nine points.
Ray Trimble started from the front row in the Mountain Democrat Late Model feature and led every step of the way en route to victory. Dan Brown Jr. came home in second, followed by Matt Micheli, Rod Oliver and Tyler Lightfoot.
Anthony Slaney had battled his way towards the front at one point until getting crossed up while making a bid for the lead and ended up eighth. He finished up with five wins this season en route to the title.
With the Red Hawk Casino Pure Stocks, it was Sacramento’s Jason Poppert leading the way early on. Poppert has shown immense speed this season and looked to park it in victory lane on Big Trophy Night.
Nick Baldwin hounded Poppert though and on lap 10 made a beautiful outside move to grab the point. Baldwin led the remainder for his seventh win of the year to lock up the title. Poppert, Ryan Peter, Tyler Lightfoot and Kevin Jinkerson rounded out the top-five.
The final Mountain Democrat Mini Truck race of 2024 was all about Austin Struthers, who picked up his first win of the season. Paige Miller, Luke Costa, Paizlee Miller and Bobby Clark completed the top-five.
Mike Miller battled towards the front until encountering issues that left him with a seventh-place result. It was still good enough to win his third track title.

CHARTRAND ENDS LONG WINLESS DROUGHT, WINS FIRST CAREER CRSA FEATURE
Race Report By: Marty Czekala – September 15, 2024
WOODHULL, N.Y. – 13 years ago to the weekend, Tyler Chartrand debuted at Woodhull Raceway in a 305 sprint car.
It had been 14 years since he last found victory lane in a different car/series, until Sept. 14, 2024.
Chartrand took the lead on lap six from Nathan Pierce and did not look back for his first career CRSA victory in the final race of the Dandy Triple Play.
The win makes Chartrand the 82nd different winner in CRSA action and the fifth first-time winner this season, joining Matt Rotz, Dillon Paddock, Adam DePuy and Dan Craun.
“I’m gonna celebrate this for a month,” said a happy Chartrand in victory lane. “This is the biggest win of my career. This is absolutely amazing.”
It’s been a season in which the driver of the No. 12 has had bad luck. From good finishes to good finishes turned upside down in the final laps, with two top-5s and a trio of finishes outside the top 10, all the bad luck doesn’t represent the season.
“It shows several years of my crew putting my best foot forward behind us,” Chartrand said. “This X-1 chassis came to life tonight.”
Nathan Pierce and Tyler Chartrand brought the field to green for the 25-lap feature. Pierce led the opening five laps until Chartrand looked low for the lead in turn four to gather enough bite and lead.
Pierce stayed on the tail tank of Chartrand, with the biggest gap of a second. While the driver of the No. 10 kept fighting, another driver was looking for the runner-up spot.
On a track mostly set for the bottom, Dillon Paddock tested the top all night and almost found his way past Nathan, but he fell two tenths short.
In a race plagued with six yellows, Paddock, Pierce and Tyler Graves were close to the leader in the final eight laps. In the end, Chartrand took the win by 0.7 seconds.
“I was hoping we could end the race soon,” said Chartrand. “We ran those first 7-8 laps caution-free and made the move on Nathan. Every lap it was about driving the thing as hard as I could. We made the right adjustments and get the right laps in.”
Chartrand bettered a second place finish he scored May 18, 2014 at Glen Ridge Motorsports Park.
Despite falling a spot short, Nathan Pierce recorded a career-high second at Woodhull, besting a third at Genesee in Sep. 2023. After a Friday night at Penn Can he wanted to forget, Pierce made setup changes that greatly improved.
“We regrouped,” Pierce said. “My dad threw some stuff at it and it didn’t work too bad. Sometimes stuff works out, sometimes it doesn’t.
As for Dillon Paddock, it was his second podium of the season and first since winning at Land of Legends Raceway July 4. Paddock looked for traction in lines where his adversaries weren’t going, but it didn't work in the end.
“I always do better when I have a little more wing speed and keep the momentum up,” said Paddock. “Can’t really follow these guys. Have to go where they’re not and I was trying everything to pass cars.”
A big shake-up with the overall points standings as points leader Tomy Moreau spun with nine laps to go after hitting a yuke tire into turn four, fading back to 15th in the end. What was an 18-point lead for Moreau has turned into Kyle Pierce taking the points lead by six as he finished sixth with three races remaining.
Kyle Pierce also took home the Dandy Triple Play championship by one point on Dalton Herrick.
Tyler Graves was awarded the Maguire Family of Dealerships Magnificent Move of the Race for his move on Dalton Herrick to finish fourth.
Adam DePuy was tonight’s Powdertech Powdercoating Hard Charger, starting 16th and finishing eighth.
22 drivers checked into Woodhull Raceway.
CRSA will now turn its attention to Skyline Raceway Motorsports Park Friday for the Joe's Garage Southern Tier Series finale.

Bubak and Doney the big winners as 14th annual Hockett-McMillin Memorial concludes at Lucas Oil Speedway
WHEATLAND, MO. (Sept. 14, 2024) - A pair of first-time champions celebrated feature victories Saturday night at the 14th annual Jesse Hockett-Daniel McMillin Memorial at Lucas Oil Speedway.
Jake Bubak emerged from an early three-car battle, wound up leading 24 of 25 laps and held off a late charge from Scott Bogucki to capture the POWRi 410 Sprint feature. Meanwhile, Xavier Doney made the leap from race runner-up a year ago into victory lane in the POWRi WAR Sprint division.
"This is really special," Bubak said. "The Jesse Hockett-Daniel McMillin Memorial is a big one, probably the biggest memorial race in sprint cars."
The Hockett-McMillin Memorial pays tribute to the legacy of Jesse Hockett of Warsaw, Mo., who was a star in both the winged and non-wing sprint divisions when he lost his life in a shop accident in 2010. His cousin and crew chief, Daniel McMillin, was killed in an automobile accident in 2006.
Bubak, of Arvada, Colo., scored his fifth career POWRi 410 feature victory and his first Hockett-Memorial trophy - plus a check for $10,000. He also was the winner in Friday night's preliminary feature, which was worth $3,000.
Bubak started on the pole and led the opening laps with Ayrton Gennetten close behind as Aaron Reutzel ran third. Reutzel advanced into second on lap six before Gennetten regained the spot the next time around.
With the top three separated by less than a half-second, Reutzel grabbed the lead on lap nine with an outside pass out of turn four, but Bubak took it back a lap later just before the race’s first caution came out.
"That was pretty fun racing with Ayrton and Aaron," Bubak said. "I appreciate Aaron giving me a lane there. He raced me really clean. That was really cool and a lof of fun."
Bubak took off after the restart and needed just two laps to open a 1.8-second advantage over Gennetten with Reutzel third and in Bogucki fourth. Bubak continued to expand his cushion and it was 2.5 seconds by lap 20.
"That restart was good timing," Bubak said. "I guess (Reutzel) didn't beat me to the line, so I got to be the leader and choose where I wanted. We restarted and he just showed me I had to run a little harder in (turns) three and four. I started to run really hard up there and the car got better."
The aggressive driving paid off as Bubak was able to build a sizeable lead with the laps winding down.
"I think I was just being too conservative knowing this place is so hard on tires and I definitely killed these tires ... but I was gonna go for it," Bubak said. "I just ran as hard as I could up there."
Bogucki, of Mclaren Vale, South Australia, was on the move and roared into second by lap 21, but was still nearly two seconds behind Bubak with time running out. I turned out that Bogucki needed another lap or two.
Bubak was able to hold off the hard-charging Bogucki, winning by .693 seconds at the checkers as fireworks exploded over the infield.
“We were a little snug around the top side," Bogucki said. "Ayrton and Aaron could get up there and free up and Jake as well. I just committed to the bottom and I think I made one and two wider and it was making my entry easier.
"As long as I was running them down, I wasn't moving. It's great to be here. A great place, great facility and always a good time."
Reutzel wound up third with Thursday-night preliminary feature winner Gennetten fourth and Joe B. Miller fifth.
Doney prevails for POWRi WAR victory: One year after finishing as the runner-up and with some other near-misses in this race, Xavier Doney of Odessa, Mo., was able to get it done in the wingless portion of the Hockett-McMillin Memorial.
Doney took over the lead with 10 laps remaining and held off Jesse Vermillion of Greencastle, Ind., in a three-lap shootout after a late-race restart, to earn the $4,077 victory.
“I'll be waking up (Sunday) and pinching myself, making sure this isn't a dream," the 18-year-old Doney said after his seventh win of the season - but undoubtedly the biggest of his young sprint-car career.
"It really feels amazing," Doney added. "I guess the fifth time is the charm. It's the fifth race here and finally winning the Hockett, one of the biggest races in Missouri every year. It's a really special one to win."
One of a handful of drivers pulling double duty, Doney finished eighth in the 410 feature.
In the WAR division, he was the third and final leader of the 25-lapper that saw several contenders suffer misfortune.
Chase Howard, starting on the outside of row one, grabbed the early lead. Howard already had a three-second lead over defending race winner Ricky Lewis when a red flag stopped the action on lap two as former Hockett-McMillin race winner Wesley Smith jumped the cushion and rolled his car in turn three and Anthony Nicholson had a rollover in turn two.
A strong restart by Howard kept him in the lead, but trouble struck on lap six as Howard’s motor went up in flames entering turn one. Kobe Simpson, a half-second behind Howard at that point, inherited the lead with Lewis third and Doney fourth.
The third-starting Simpson got away after the restart to open a nearly one-second lead over Lewis by lap 10. Doney moved around Lewis on the low side of turn four and into second on lap 12 and began to pursue Simpson.
Just three laps later, the sixth-starting Doney took over the top spot with an inside pass off turn two. Doney said the low groove is one he patiently waited to make work to his advantage.
"I kind of scouted (the bottom) out during hot laps," Doney said. "Pretty much everywhere was quick in hot laps, except the bottom because the grease was there. I knew it would come in during this race and I stuck to the bottom and managed to get by the guys who were throwing slide jobs."
Vermillion, who started 17th, moved into second on a lap-17 restart and Doney fought him off for the lead over the next several laps. Doney’s lead was .375 seconds over Vermillion when a caution flew on lap 22 as eighth-place Riley Kreisel spun in turn two.
That set up a three-lap shootout for the win. Before the field could complete a lap, Lewis took a wild flip between turns one and two. Lewis, who had charged back into the top 10 after changing the flat tire earlier, walked away from the wild ride which ended his chance for a repeat.
Doney was able to take it home from there as he beat Vermillion by .554 seconds at the finish. Simpson was third with Shawn Westerfield fourth and Kyle Shipley in fifth.
"We had the car set-up this time," Vermillion said. "I made up a lot of spots. You have to start top 10 to win these usually and I actually had a shot. I knew (Doney) would have to make a mistake off the bottom for me to get there.
"I screwed up on the last restart and he got me a little bit. That kind of sealed the deal."

Xavier Doney Drives to Championship Night Win with POWRi WAR in Hockett/McMillin Memorial
Wheatland, MO. (9/14/24) Xavier Doney would seem to find another gear of
speed mid-point in the Championship Night feature event of the Fourteenth Annual
Jesse Hockett/Daniel McMillin Memorial at Lucas Oil Speedway with the POWRi
Wingless Auto Racing Sprint League to drive away and capture his seventh career
feature victory wrapping up the premier weekend racing event.
Racing onto the quick surface of Lucas Oil Speedway, POWRi WAR would find
forty-one talented traditional sprinters witnessing Mario Clouser set the
quickest hot-lap time of 15.286-second lap as Jack Wagner and Mario Clouser each
earned semi-feature victories.
Kick-starting the initial green flag start with high-point qualifier Ricky
Lewis and Chase Howard lined up in the front row, Chase Howard would gain the
lead on the opening lap with Ricky Lewis, Riley Kreisel, Kobe Simpson, and Matt
Sherrell all blasting into the top five running spots.
Leading the first six laps, Chase Howard would appear to be in repeating form
from the night before until his engine would expire on lap seven taking the
fast-running leader Howard from competitions and relegating the lead to Kobe
Simpson after the field bunching restart.
Cruising out front, Kobe Simpson would keep the challengers at bay as Xavier
Doney, Riley Kreisel, Jesse Vermillion, Shawn Westerfeld, and Mario Clouser all
started battling behind the leader for the runner-up position.
Blasting to the top spot with an excellent lap fourteen run, Xavier Doney
would overtake Kobe Simpson to the line as the laps began to click away rapidly
with the leader setting sail in the final stages of the traditional main event.
Gliding out front on the final eleven laps, Xavier Doney would emerge
victorious with the POWRi WAR Sprint League at Lucas Oil Speedway to notch his
third yearly league victory and perhaps the biggest of his career. Staying in
the hunt after blazing a trail through the field, Jesse Vermillion would finish
runner-up as leader of nine laps Kobe Simpson completed the final podium
placements.
“I was waiting for the lines to come in in the feature, with everyone being
so fast out here and throwing sliders, I just stuck to the bottom and ran my
line,” said victorious Xavier Doney in the Wheatland Missouri victory lane
celebrations. Adding, “It really feels amazing to be here and win such a special
event, to be honest, I’ll be waking up tomorrow pinching myself to make sure
it’s not a dream.”
Challenging closely behind would find Shawn Westerfeld finish fourth as event
hard-charger Kyle Shipley rounded out the top-five finishers for the POWRi WAR
at Lucas Oil Speedway on Championship Night of the Hockett/McMillin Memorial.

Jake Bubak Jockeys to Championship Night Checkers with POWRi 410 Sprints in Hockett/McMillin
Wheatland, MO. (9/14/24) Jake Bubak would lead twenty-four of twenty-five laps in spectacular fashion with the POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprint in Championship Night of the 14th Annual Jesse Hockett/Daniel McMillin Memorial to notch his second season league victory and land the $10,000 payday in a phenomenal feature event for the ages at Lucas Oil Speedway.
Flying onto the smooth surface with thirty-two talented entrants of the POWRi 410’s would see Brian Bell set a quick hot lap time of 13.33-second lap with Miles Paulus and Chase Randall each earning last-chance qualifier victories.
Captivating the crowd on the initial green flag start with high-point qualifier Jake Bubak and Ayrton Gennetten lined up in the front row as Jake Bubak would gain the lead on the opening lap with Ayrton Gennetten, Aaron Reutzel, Joe B Miller, and Noah Gass all raced within the early contending top five.
Throwing sliders and crossovers on both sides of the finely prepared racing surface at Lucas Oil Speedway would see Jake Bubak continually protecting the lead from a low-running Ayrton Gennetten and an extremely high-line running Aaron Reutzel as neither of the three top contenders would shy away from the battle.
Overtaking for the top spot for a single lap, Aaron Reutzel would see Jake Bubak ounce back to the top spot in a flurry of action-packed laps with Ayrton Gennetten continually staying close to the front-running pair as Joe B Miller, Miles Paulus, Chase Randall, Scott Bogucki, Noah Gass, Xavier Doney, and Kyle Jones kept within the top ten contestants.
Keeping the throttle mashed after a mid-race restart while relentlessly speeding away from the field Jake Bubak would not be denied in earning his third career POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprint victory in an action-packed main event with Scott Bogucki hustling into the runner-up position late while attempting to catch the speedy Bubak.
“That was really a lot of fun racing with Aaron and Ayrton early, that restart was the key with the top being so quick tonight,” said Jake Bubak in the Wheatland Missouri victory lane ceremony celebrations. Adding, “I started the race being conservative with my tires but with those two driving that hard I knew it was time to go and run harder”.
Challenging closely behind would find Aaron Reutzel placing on the final podium placement from the starting fourth on the initial green flag as Ayrton Gennetten would be among the frontrunners all feature to fourth with Joe B Miller rounding out the top five finishers for the POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprints Championship Night of the Fourteenth Annual Jesse Hockett/Daniel McMillin Memorial at Lucas Oil Speedway.

Cap Henry earns richest win in history of Fremont Speedway
By Brian Liskai
FREMONT, Ohio – Cap Henry wrote his name in the Fremont Speedway record books Saturday, Sept. 14, winning the 17th Annual Jim Ford Classic on All Pro Aluminum Cylinder Heads/Gill Construction Night. Henry’s third win of the season at “The Track That Action Built” was worth $20,000. He also added another $10,000 in bonus money by leading all 40-laps.
Henry, the track’s 2023 Fort Ball Pizza Palace 410 Sprint track champion, won his eighth total feature of 2024 and his 21st career win at the track. Winning the Jim Ford Classic adds to his incredible list of accomplishments in 2024 including taking the Ohio Sprint Speedweek title and the All Pro Aluminum Cylinder Heads/Kistler Racing Products Attica Fremont Championship Series title.
“I knew I had to get a good jump at the start. Kalib (Henry) has been so good here this year. Zack and Chad and Chris and Jeff and Gary have worked their tails off all year and gave me a perfect car tonight. I was able to maneuver in traffic. Gary Griff built this engine for us to run Eldora and Knoxville….it’s a damn good engine. We’ve run second in this race so many times and to finally get a Jim Ford Classic win is very special,” said Henry beside his Premier Planning Service, Jeff Ward Demolition, Ohio Logistics, Primal Tee Shop, Elliott’s Custom Trailers and Carts, FK Rod Ends, Griff’s Engines backed #33W.
For Kalib Henry second was a disappointment after having won both features at Fremont the previous evening.
“We were really good but Cap was just better tonight. Second sucks….I really wanted that race, but it was a good weekend and we will give it a shot next Saturday to wrap up the track championship. Thanks to Doc and Rebecca and all the guys who make this possible,” said Henry.
Craig Mintz rallied from a crash the previous evening to finish third with Trey Jacobs and Stuart Brubaker rounding out the top five. Cale Thomas charged from 20th starting position to a sixth place run while Darin Naida, TJ Michael (from 15th), Zane DeVault (from 14th) and Larry Kingseed rounding out the top 10.
The Fremont Federal Credit Union 305 Sprints competed in two 20-lap features. In the first current Fremont division point leader Jamie Miller took the lead from Seth Schneider on lap six and drove to his fourth win of the season at Fremont over Dustin Stroup, Dustin Dinan, Jimmy McGrath and Logan Riehl.
The win is Miller’s 10th overall win of 2024 in 305 sprint car competition to go with three dirt truck wins and a non-wing sprint car victory. It was also Miller’s 52nd career win at Fremont.
“Thank God for that caution (lap 15). Stroupy sailed it in there between me and a lapped car and got in front but the yellow came out. With no traffic to deal with the car was just really good,” said Miller beside his Boca Construction, JLH General Contractors, Kenny Kolb Farms, Tuck Pointing America, Queen of Clean, Smitty’s Pizza, Roberts & Sons Contracting, Pizza Wheel, Crown Battery, Reedtown Tavern, Fostoria Mod Shop, Sandy’s Dad, Gressman Powersports, Phil Rister, Slade Shock Technology backed #26.
In the second 305 feature Jimmy McGrath jumped into the early lead with Stroup taking the lead on lap three only to see McGrath drive back by a lap later with Stroup retaking the lead on lap five. Stroup continued to lead with a few cautions keep McGrath close. A caution with five laps to go gave McGrath a chance and he put the wing back and went after Stroup. The pair sliced and diced back and forth with Stroup continually holding the point at the flag stand.
Stroup was able to hold off McGrath’s challenges to take his third win of the year at Fremont. It was his fifth overall victory of 2024 and his 12 career win at the track. McGrath, Dinan, Riehl and TJ Michael rounded out the top five.
“I made the car very wide those last five laps. Jimmy raced me hard and clean. I can’t thank Renee and Jamie enough for giving me the opportunity to drive this car and all the sponsors we couldn’t do this without them,” said Stroup beside his Sulfur Town Pub, BSE Welding, Meru Safety, Velocity Print, The Pizza House, Sunrise Designs, Momma Dukes from Shelluke’s Bar and Grill, GCE LLC, Handy Grafix, Mitten Painting, Myers Racing Engines, Rohr Total Lawn Care, Eye Candy Custom Cycles, DJ Johnson & Family, GWH, Advance Auto Parts, BRS, J&J Auto backed #12x.
Fremont Speedway will be back in action Saturday, Sept. 21 for season championship night with the Fort Ball Pizza Palace 410 Sprints, Fremont Federal Credit Union 305 Sprints and Burmeister Trophy Dirt Trucks in action.

VANINWEGEN CROWNED KING OF THE CAN FOR SECOND TIME
Race Report By: Marty Czekala – September 14, 2024
SUSQUEHANNA, Pa. – All hail King Billy V.
Billy VanInwegen took the lead early and didn’t look back to record his first win of the 2024 season after three runner-ups to begin the year.
The win extends his points lead in the Joe’s Garage Southern Tier Series over Kyle Pierce and Dalton Herrick. It is also the seventh of his CRSA career.
“What a racecar,” said VanInwegen. “Tip of the hat to Mike VanDusen [car owner] for turning the motor around. We’ve been second so many times and got this thing to take off on starts and it ripped.”
Defending series champion Jordan Hutton and 2022 King of the Can winner VanInwegen made up the front row. Hutton would throw a slidejob at the drop of Tyler Groescup’s green flag. Still, VanInwegen would counter back to lead the opening lap.
“Billy V” would open the lead up on Hutton as big as 3.2 seconds before the race’s first yellow for Ed Kelley’s spin in turn four.
On the restart, VanInwegen held serve, but 2021 King of the Can Kevin Nagy moved up to the runner-up past Hutton. VanInwegen continued to increase the lead until 10 to go when the No. 56V was in heavy lapped traffic, allowing Nagy to cut the gap down to as little as a car length.
“Absolutely brutal,” VanInwegen said on lapped traffic. “I kept showing myself and those guys showed their nose even harder. I figured someone would be coming. That last caution I didn’t expect but gave me a chance to reset and get back to work.”
VanInwegen opened the gap a little by using some backmarkers as picks. Then, with two to go, Thomas Radivoy spun, setting up a green-white-checkered finish.
The finish would be no issue for VanInwegen as he led every lap to be crowned King, sit on the Golden Can and take home the lion’s share of $1500.
“Lot of fun to still come out and race with Mike [VanDusen],” said VanInwegen. “He talked me into it and it’s so much fun to race with him.”
In his first CRSA race since Oct. 2021, Kevin Nagy came home one spot short and wasn’t too sure if he wanted the final caution or not to get one last shot at VanInwegen.
"Traffic was tough to get through," said Nagy. "You never know what could happen. I would probably say no. I might’ve been better in traffic.”
After two straight DNFs, Hutton piloted his No. 66 to a third-place finish, the fifth top-five of the season for "J-Hutt."
"We learned a lot and tried a new rim tonight, but didn't work," Hutton said. "The biggest positive is if you want to go backward from one to third, it's gonna be to those two guys you want it to be.”
Approaching the night, Tomy Moreau led Kyle Pierce in overall points by 31. Unofficially, Pierce’s fourth-place run to Moreau's ninth-place run trimmed the lead to 17.
VanInwegen came in with a narrow three-point lead for the Joe’s Garage Southern Tier Series championship on Pierce. Unofficially, the lead increases to 12 points on the driver of the No. 9K, but a handful of drivers will contend for the miniseries title next Friday.
For an incredible final restart to finish fourth in the end, Kyle Pierce was awarded the Maguire Family of Dealerships Magnificent Move of the Race.
Zach Sobotka was the Powdertech Powdercoating Hard Charger of the Race, gaining nine spots and finishing 11th.
27 drivers checked in Susquehanna tonight.
CRSA travels to Woodhull Raceway tomorrow to conclude the Dandy Triple Play, in which 24 drivers are mathematically eligible for the miniseries championship.

Bubak and Howard pick up Night 2 Hockett-McMillin Memorial feature victories at Lucas Oil Speedway
WHEATLAND, MO. (Sept. 13, 2024) - Night 2 of the 14th annual Jesse Hockett-Daniel
McMillin Memorial saw Jake Bubak and Chase Howard both score come-from-behind
feature victories at Lucas Oil Speedway.
Bubak, of Arvado, Colo., chased down race-long leader Jace Park with two laps
remaining to score a thrilling win in the POWRi 410 Sprints. Earlier, Howard
took command just past the midpoint and went on to grab the POWRi WAR feature
for non-winged sprints.
Drivers used the action on Thursday and Friday nights to accumulate points
for Saturday night's championship round. The POWRi 410 winged feature winner
will collect $10,000 with the WAR drivers chasing a $3,077 prize.
The Hockett-McMillin Memorial pays tribute to the legacy of Jesse Hockett,
who was a star in both the winged and non-wing sprint divisions when he lost his
life in a shop accident in 2010. His cousin and crew chief, Daniel McMillin, was
killed in an automobile accident in 2006.
If the 410 winged feature on Friday is any indication, the final night ought
to be a classic. Park, of Overland Park, Kan., appeared to be a lopsided winner
as he built a big lead with only a handful of laps remaining.
But Bubak, who started sixth, came charging to steal the $3,000 win. His
winning pass after a lap 23 restart and just after a previous pass for the lead
was wiped out as a caution flew before the lap was completed.
"That was a bummer," Bubak said of having to go back to second and do it all
over again. "But I kind of found the top there right before the yellow and knew
it was there, so I just committed to it.
"I'm happy to be in victory lane. I really wanted to win that one. We're
happy to be here and I love this track and this facility."
Park was the driver to beat most of the way. He out-sprinted fellow front-row
starter Chase Randall for the lead at the start and those two stayed
nose-to-tail through eight laps. They were staging a tremendous battle for the
lead on lap nine, but as Randall was trying to complete the pass he drifted too
high, got into the cushion and flipped his car in turn four.
Park quickly opened a 1.7-second lead after the restart over Noah Gass with
Bubak lurking in third. But Park kept pouring it on, extending the gap to 3.2
seconds by lap 17, as Bubak got around Gass for the runner-up spot.
Bubak started to immediately cut into Park’s margin, pulling within .668
seconds with four circuits remaining as the two battled each other and lapped
traffic. Bubak made the pass the next time around on the backstretch, but the
caution came out for a spinning car in turn four.
With scoring reverting to the last completed lap, Park was scored the leader
over Bubak with Gass in third for a final restart. Bubak made the winning move
on the outside heading down the backstretch on lap 24.
"It was big," he said of the momentum preceding his winning pass. "I had it
the lap before and he opened his entry up enough that I had to hit the brakes
and try it again the next lap."
Bubak held on from there to beat Park by .847 seconds.
“I knew after that restart that Jake had something going for him when he
showed his nose," Park said. "I kind of got saved by the bell when that caution
came out."
Gass wound up third with Joe B. Miller fourth and Scott Bogucki fifth.
Howard roars to POWRi WAR win: Chase Howard roared to the lead after a
restart on lap 14 and rolled from there, capturing his second career POWRi WAR
victory as he beat Kobe Simpson.
Howard, a 20-year-old from Nesbit, Mississippi., scored his sixth overall
victory of the season and second in the POWRi WAR Sprints. He earned $2,000 for
the victory and set himself up for a prime starting spot for Saturday's feature.
"I didn't think I was gonna catch Kobe for a minute, but he chose the outside
and the bottom came in," Howard said of the key restart. "I just got lucky,
because I sure don't have the motor to be competing on this track."
It didn't take long for Howard, who started 10th, to make his way into
contention in a race that was filled with cautions the first half of the way.
Xavier Doney got the good start from his outside front-row starting spot and
took the early lead, a half-second in front of Simpson when the caution flew on
lap five. Simpson used the restart to shoot to the lead on lap six with Howard
second and Doney shuffled to third before another caution waved.
After they rolled to green again, Simpson had a .603-second advantage over
Howard when the event’s third caution came out on lap 10. Simpson again opted to
restart on the outside, which had been the fast line for him, but the start was
negated with a red flag for a five-car accident on the backstretch.
Simpson opened a race-high one-second lead by lap 13 when another red came
out as Keith Martin’s car took a wild tumble between turns one and two. He
emerged from the damaged car unhurt.
This time on the restart, Howard got a great jump and squeezed past Simpson
on the inside out of turn four to grab the lead on lap 14.
"He was running a really good line the entire time," Howard said. "If he had
picked the bottom, he could have probably blocked it. But that's how the choose
cone works."
Howard was able to extend his lead to 1.2 seconds by lap 20 as the race
finally settled into a rhythm after the five previous stoppages. Howard drove
away to beat Simpson by 1.9 seconds at the finish.
"He kind of outsmarted and all-around got me on that last restart," Simpson
said. "But all-around it was a good night. I could have done a few things better
throughout the race, but I'll take this down as a good run."
Doney settled for third with Shawn Westerfield fourth and Mario Clouser
finishing fifth.

Chase Howard Captures Night Two Victory with POWRi WAR in Hockett/McMillin Memorial
Wheatland, MO. (9/13/24) Chase Howard would capitalize on late-race cautions after starting tenth to take checkers on the second night of the Fourteenth Annual Jesse Hockett/Daniel McMillin Memorial at Lucas Oil Speedway with the POWRi Wingless Auto Racing Sprint League to notch his second career feature victory kicking off the premier weekend racing event.
Racing onto the quick surface of Lucas Oil Speedway, POWRi WAR would find talented traditional sprinters witnessing Kobe Simpson set the quickest hot-lap time of 15.325-second lap as Jesse Vermillion, Samuel Wagner, and Kobe Simpson each earned heat racing victories.
Kick-starting the initial green flag start with high-point qualifier Kobe Simpson and Xavier Doney lined up in the front row with Xavier Doney gaining the early lead on the opening four laps with Kobe Simpson putting up a valiant effort for the top spot.
Overtaking for the preferred first position, Kobe Simpson would lead the next nine revolutions around a finely tuned Lucas Oil Speedway as cautions would hinder any long green flag battles until around the mid-point when the action went into double-time as Chase Howard started jockeying into striking distance.
Battling to the point of the field, Chase Howard would not be denied in leading the final thirteen laps to emerge victorious with the POWRi WAR Sprint League at Lucas Oil Speedway to notch his second yearly league victory. Staying in the hunt Kobe Simpson would finish runner-up as Xavier Doney completed the final podium placements.
“That choose cone definitely helped me tonight on the restarts and the door was left open so I had to take my shot,” said victorious a celebratory Chase Howard in the Wheatland Missouri victory lane celebrations. Adding, “Kobe raced a great race and if he would have picked the bottom on that final restart he may have been able to block my momentum for the pass.”
Challenging closely behind would find Shawn Westerfeld finish fourth as Mario Clouser rounded out the top five finishers for the POWRi WAR at Lucas Oil Speedway on Night Two of the Hockett/McMillin Memorial.

410s would see Jace Park set a quick qualifying time of 13.289-second lap with
Chris Martin, Noah Gass, Kyle Jones, and Chase Randall each earning heat racing
victories.
Captivating the crowd on the initial green flag start with high-point
qualifier Chase Randall and Jace Park lined up in the front row as Jace Park
would gain the lead on the opening lap with Chase Randall staying in close
pursuit.
Sliding for the lead in early action would find Chase Randall jumping the
cushion out of turn four and going for a wild ride into the front-stretch wall
as the driver would be okay yet unable to continue the race with Jace Park
maintaining the top spot.
Firing back off out front, Jace Park would amass over a three-second margin
of lead with Noah Gass and Jake Bubak battling behind as Joe B Miller and Kyle
Jones stayed within the contending top five.
With lap traffic quickly coming into play the leading Jace Park would be
unable to maneuver past the back of the field pack as Jake Bubak rapidly cut the
lead as the final few laps started to wind down with caution bunching the field
back together with only a trio of revolutions left in the feature event.
Overtaking for the top spot with only a pair of laps remaining, Jake Bubak
would not be denied in earning his second career POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprint victory
in an action-packed main event with the leader of twenty-three laps Jace Park
settling into the runner-up position as the final checkers waved.
“We didn’t struggle for power tonight that’s for sure,” said an elated Jake
Bubak in the Wheatland Missouri victory lane ceremony celebrations. Adding, “I
was able to find the speed on the top right before the yellow came out, so on
the restart, I just stuck it up there and rode the monster drive on the high
side”.
Challenging closely behind would find Noah Gass placing on the final podium
placement with nineth-starting Joe B Miller staying among the frontrunners all
feature to finish fourth as eleventh-starting Scott Bogucki would round out the
top five finishers for the POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprints Night Two of the Fourteenth
Annual Jesse Hockett/Daniel McMillin Memorial at Lucas Oil Speedway.

Kalib Henry sweeps opening night of Jim Ford Classic at Fremont
Saturday, Sept. 14, 2024
By Brian Liskai
FREMONT, Ohio – Kalib Henry was unstoppable at Fremont Speedway presented by Gill Construction Friday, Sept. 13. The Sacramento, Calif. Driver started the 17th Annual Jim Ford Classic weekend out by winning the June Ohio Sprint Speedweek $10,000 feature that had been halted due to rain with 32 laps remaining. He followed up by claiming the regular Ti-22 Performance FAST On Dirt feature on Kistler Engines Night.
In the make-up feature Henry took the lead from Tim Shaffer on lap 25, survived contact with a lapped car with just two laps to go to earn the win over Cale Thomas, Shaffer, Cap Henry and Zeth Sabo. It was his fourth win of the year at “The Track That Action Built.”
“That’s two weeks in a row I had to kind of get aggressive with a lapper. Really did not mean to do that but when you’re racing for the win and the lapped cars are there…he was kind of all over the place and I needed to get by him. I knew it was going to be a demanding race track. I just needed to hit my marks and wait for a mistake and get a run. Kevin (Osmolski, crew chief) gave me a bad ass race car. Thank you Doc and Rebecca for everything,” said Henry beside his Running Boxer Farms, Harris Distributing Company, Valvoline, Triple J Towing, K1, Berryman Racing Shocks, Chalkstix backed #101.
In the night’s regular 30-lap feature Henry jumped into the lead at the drop of the green from his outside front row starting spot. He built a sizeable lead until Chris Andrews moved into second on lap five and began closing. Andrews stayed right with Henry and actually drove to his inside on a couple of restarts following cautions. But, Henry was just to smooth and drove to his fifth win of the year at Fremont and the night’s sweep. Andrews, Cap Henry, Thomas and Shaffer rounded out the top five.
“Hats off to the track crew….they gave us a hell of a track all night. I love these big curbs especially when there’s two lanes and you can race hard on it. That was a lot of fun. Last week Cap was on the front row and you can’t spot a guy that good that spot. I started on the front row next to him and I just needed to get out front and I knew we had a chance. Kevin has given me such a great race car and I’m excited for tomorrow. This is a race we circled on our calendar heavily all year,” said Henry.
The Burmeister Trophy Dirt Trucks ran double features. In the first Kent Brewer drove to his first win of the year, the eighth of his career at the track over Shawn Valenti, Steve Miller (from 19th), Keith Sorg and Dave Golembiewski.
“This is a brand new truck top to bottom and she’s a good one. I have to thank all the friends and family that helped me put this here,” said Brewer beside his Injector Experts, Kent’s Transmissions, B&S Farms backed #8KB.
In the second feature Cody Laird led the first three laps before Valenti took control. Brewer pressured Valenti several laps before experiencing mechanical issues with just two laps to go. Valenti drove to his sixth truck win of the year at Fremont over Sorg, Laird, Golembiewski and Todd Warnick. It is Valenti’s 80th career win at the track, putting him just one behind Paul Weaver atop the all-time win list.
“Looks like Kent will be something to contend with this year. Thanks to all my guys and all the sponsors for providing me the chance to do this,” said Valenti beside his Craig Miller Trucking, Conrad Transportation, Dave Story Equipment, A Plus Auto Center, Concrete Material Supply, S&S Hauling and Excavating backed #7B.
Fremont Speedway will host the biggest paying event in the history of the track Saturday, Sept. 14 for the Jim Ford Classic. The 410 sprint winner will take home $20,000! The 305 sprints will also run two feature events.

WHEATLAND, MO. (Sept. 12, 2024) - Ayrton Gennetten and Ricky Lewis drove to
feature victories on Thursday night at Lucas Oil Speedway as the 14th annual
Jesse Hockett-Daniel McMillin Memorial opened its three-night run.
Gennetten, of Versailles, Mo., led all 25 laps to beat Aaron Ruezel for the
POWRi 410 Sprint victory, worth $3,000. It was the fifth series feature win of
the season for the defending POWRi 410 Sprint Series.
Lewis, the reigning champ of the event in the POWRi WAR Sprint division, led
the final 11 laps to score his victory in the wingless portion as one of the
nation's premier open-wheel weekends got underway.
The Hockett-McMillin Memorial recognizes the legacy of Jesse Hockett, who was
a star in both the winged and non-wing sprint divisions when he lost his life in
a shop accident in 2010. His cousin and crew chief, Daniel McMillin, was killed
in an automobile accident in 2006.
Gennetten was able to overcome three late restarts that wiped out sizable
leads to not only win, but collect valuable points toward Saturday night's
$10,000-to-win 410 feature starting field.
"I've been rolling pretty good here of late and got the opportunity to drive
a great piece of machinery here with Ryan and Ashley Heidbreder's car,"
Gennetten said. "I have a lot of good people who are behind me."
Gennetten started up front and opened a 1.5-second lead just three laps into
the feature over sixth-starting Reutzel with Kyle Jones third. The top three
remained unchanged through 10 laps with Gennetten sitting a half-second in
front.
As the leaders caught lapped traffic in a caution-free event to that point,
Gennetten was able to regain a bit of breathing room over Reutzel and Jones as
Joe B. Miller settled into fourth.
Gennetten continued to excel in getting around slower cars and his gap jumped
to 1.5 seconds by lap 17. One circuit later, the first caution flew as Zach
Hampton came to a stop atop turn two.
That first yellow wiped away Gennetten’s 1.3-second lead and gave new life to
Reutzel, Jones, Miller and fifth-running Jamie Ball with seven laps remaining.
Gennetten had a flawless restart and rolled to a 1.4-second lead in just a
lap. But another yellow on lap 20 as Blake Hahn’s car slow in turn two blunted
the leader’s march. But that proved only temporary as Gennetten again proved
dominant over the final five laps.
Ball grabbed second on lap 21, but as Gennetten built a race-best 2.8-second
lead another caution flew with three to go. It again proved to be no problem for
the leader as Gennetten went on to beat Reutzel by 2.1 seconds at the finish.
Gennetten, in his victory lane interview, was not particularly happy with the
flurry of late cautions.
"Luckily we were able to hold on and it sets us up good for tomorrow. We're
fast and hopefully we can capitalize the rest of the week," Gennetten said.
Reutzel said his car was strong, but not strong enough to stay up with the
winner.
"They were good," Reutzel said of Gennetten. "We got to second so quick that
I was trying to bide my time and not destroy my tires like I did in the heat
race. I needed some thick lapped traffic to have a shot at him. It wasn't meant
to be tonight."
Miller wound up third with Ball fourth and Scott Bogucki fifth.
Lewis earns POWRi WAR Sprints win: The defending champ of the POWRi WAR
Sprint portion of the Hockett-McMillin Memorial got his weekend off to a rousing
start by dominating the second half of the 25-lapper.
Ricky Lewis of Camarillo, Calif., grabbed the lead on lap 14 and outdisanced
Riley Kreisel for the $2,000 POWRi WAR victory. The non-wing field is split into
programs on Thursday and Friday with finishes helping determine the starting
lineup for Saturday's finale.
Wesley Smith of Nixa, Mo., appeared to be the car to beat for the first half
of the race. Smith grabbed the lead at the start and opened up a 1.3-second
command by lap five as four cars battled for the runner-up position. A lap
later, Jack Wagner moved into second place but stayed there for just one circuit
before he rolled to a stop in turn two with a flat right rear tire.
On the restart, Wyatt Burks briefly passed Smith in turn two before Smith
regained the point down the backstretch. But on lap 14, third-starting Lewis
took the top spot away from Smith coming off turn two - just before the race’s
fifth caution flew for a car that rolled to a stop in turn one.
Burks used the restart to move into second in front of Smith as Lewis set the
pace up front. Smith rallied back into second on lap 18, but found himself one
second behind Lewis with just seven laps to go.
Smith sliced the margin to a half second by lap 20 and was within a car
length two laps later with Burks also in the mix. But on lap 23, Smith got into
turn one too hard and spun. He was able to keep going and the race stayed green.
That was all Lewis needed to pull away to finish 3.4 seconds in front of
Kreisel at the checkers. Burks finished third with Kyle Jones fourth and Smith
fifth.
"Me and Wesley had a pretty good battle," Lewis said of the middle portion of
the event as he moved to the front. "I know I sent it in pretty deep, but I know
I'm racing again really good guys and they can adapt as I would do the same.
Shout-out to Wesley, I love racing with him. We don't get to race against each
other often, but when we do it's a blast.
"The race track was racy so you could race anywhere. That's what you fans
like to see."

Ricky Lewis Reigns Supreme in Hockett/McMillin Night One Thriller with POWRi WAR
Wheatland, MO. (9/12/24) Ricky Lewis would outduel all others in the
action-packed opening night of the Fourteenth Annual Jesse Hockett/Daniel
McMillin Memorial at Lucas Oil Speedway with the POWRi Wingless Auto Racing
Sprint League to notch his second career feature victory kicking off the premier
weekend racing event in superb style.
Racing onto the quick surface of Lucas Oil Speedway, POWRi WAR would find
traditional sprinter Kyle Shipley set the quickest hot-lap time of 15.430-second
lap as Ricky Lewis, Wyatt Burks, and Wesley Smith each earned heat racing
victories.
Kick-starting the initial green flag start with high-point qualifier Wesley
Smith and Wyatt Burks lined up in the front row as Wesley Smith would gain the
lead on the opening lap with Wyatt Burks blasting into the runner-up spot ahead
of Ricky Lewis, Jack Wagner, and Riley Kreisel inside the top five.
Clinging to the high-side hustle, Wesley Smith would start the action-packed event with the lead as battling action behind the leader would ensue with Ricky Lewis, Wyatt Burks, Jack Wagner, and Riley Kreisel all throwing sliders and crossovers on either side of the track all within the top five.
Leading just past the half-way point, Wesley Smith and Ricky Lewis would begin a battle for the ages with neither driver buckling under the added pressure up front with Ricky Lewis taking over the preferred positioning on the track as Wyatt Burks, Riley Kreisel, Tom Curran, Kyle Jones, and Kyle Shipley all attempted to run down the speedy pair.
Holding steady for the final twelve laps up front, Ricky Lewis would emerge victorious with the POWRi WAR Sprint League at Lucas Oil Speedway to notch his first yearly league victory. Staying in the hunt and using a perfect late race restart, Riley Kreisel would finish runner-up as Wyatt Burks completed the final podium placements.
“I was trying to save my tires early but I knew with Wesley out front I had to go. The race track was really racy tonight and you could really set it anywhere, I know I was sending it in deep into the corners but the car was on a rail tonight and just stuck” said victorious Ricky Lewis in the Wheatland Missouri victory lane celebrations. Adding, “Everybody on this team works so hard, it feels great to be here and hopefully can repeat on Championship Night this year.”
Challenging closely behind would find Kyle Jones finish fourth as recovering from a late race mishap Wesley Smith rounded out the top five finishers for the POWRi WAR at Lucas Oil Speedway on Night One of the Hockett/McMillin Memorial.

Ayrton Gennetten Attains Night One Win with POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprints Hockett/McMillin Memorial
Wheatland, MO. (9/12/24) Ayrton Gennetten would set sail on cruise control
out front with the POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprint in the 14th Annual Jesse Hockett/Daniel
McMillin Memorial to notch his fifth yearly league victory and land the
preliminary night one checkers in an outstanding feature event at Lucas Oil
Speedway.
Flying onto the smooth surface with thirty-two talented entrants of the POWRi
410’s would see Noah Gass set a quick group-qualifying time of 13.402-second lap
with Kyle Jones, Jamie Ball, Brian Bell, and Joe B Miller each earning heat
racing victories.
Captivating the crowd on the initial green flag start with high-point
qualifier Kyle Jones and Ayrton Gennetten lined up in the front row as Ayrton
Gennetten would gain the lead on the opening lap with Aaron Reutzel, Kyle Jones,
Joe B Miller, and Jamie Ball all racing within the top five.
Battling valiantly, Ayrton Gennetten would appear to be a different division
by leading over two-seconds through green flag action as lap traffic quickly
came into play as the laps rapidly clicked away with Aaron Reutzel, Jamie Ball,
Joe B Miller, and Kyle Jones all jockeying for positions inside the top five
Setting the stage for late-race dramatics, caution would bunch the field back
together with Ayrton Gennetten capitalizing on the multiple refires with Aaron
Reutzel keeping close to the leader throughout the final laps.
Leading all twenty-five laps, Ayrton Gennetten would not be denied in earning
his eighth career POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprint victory in an action-packed main event
with Aaron Reutzel hustling into the runner-up position from starting sixth on
the opening lap.
“It feels great to pull off the victory tonight and hopefully it sets the
team up for a solid championship event,” said Ayrton Gennetten in the Wheatland
Missouri victory lane ceremony celebrations. Adding, “The team is really
clicking good right now and it feels great to be in a position to win each
night”.
Challenging closely behind would find Joe B Miller placing on the final
podium placement from the starting seventh on the initial green flag. Jamie Ball
would be among the frontrunners all feature to fourth as thirteenth starting
Scott Bogucki would round out the top-five finishers for the POWRi 410 Outlaw
Sprints Night One of the Fourteenth Annual Jesse Hockett/Daniel McMillin

Austin Wood races to initial Sprint Car victory at Placerville Speedway
By Gary Thomas
Placerville, CA…Fourteen-year-old Micro graduate Austin Wood has been nothing short of impressive during his rookie campaign at Placerville Speedway. After showing consistency all season, the Sacramento driver was able to park it in victory lane for the first time in his young Sprint Car career on Saturday night.
Sharing victory lane on Anrak Night at the Races were Cade Lewis with the USAC/BCRA Midgets, Jake Morgan with the BCRA Lightning Sprints and Nick Baldwin with the Red Hawk Casino Pure Stocks.
The 25-lap Thompson’s Family of Dealerships Winged 360 Sprint Car main event started off a little ragged, but once things got going, it was Austin Wood setting the pace over Ashton Torgerson. A multi-car incident on lap six then saw Torgerson get caught up in it, forcing him to the rear of the field.
Numerous slowdowns were seen in the feature, but Wood hit his marks on each restart. Suisun City youngster Chance Grasty gave chase after the leader and looked very strong all night long. Grasty had to fend off several challenges from Lincoln’s Tanner Carrick as the race wound down as well.
With a couple circuits remaining Grasty closed fast on Wood and made it a battle for the lead. The final lap saw the duo race nose to tail down to the checkered flag, which saw Wood edge out Grasty to claim the big win.
Carrick crossed the stripe in third, followed by point leader Andy Forsberg and 17th starter Tony Gomes, who was the Hard Charger after winning the B-main. Rounding out the top-10 were Bubba Decaires, Dustin Freitas, Camden Robustelli, Izaak Sharp and Jake Haulot.
The USAC Western States/ BCRA Midget 30-lap main event began with TJ Smith jumping out to the early lead. Tanner Carrick was doing double duty in both the Midget and Sprint Car on Saturday, and quickly found the high side to his liking.
Current USAC point leader Cade Lewis slow rolled the bottom to perfection however, as he sliced his way into the top-spot on lap eight. After that it was all Lewis up front who cruised to the Ron Stahl checkered flag ahead of Carrick, Smith, Brandon Wiley and Drake Edwards.
Fair Oaks racer Jake Morgan made a start with the BCRA Lightning Sprints on Saturday and drove to victory during their annual Tracy Taylor Memorial. Hunter Kinney stalked him every step of the way but couldn’t make the pass and settled for a runner up finish. Tyler Gerdes, Matt Land and Bradley Schmidt completed the top-five.
The Red Hawk Casino Pure Stocks continued their trend of providing exciting racing in the main event. Jason Poppert has shown speed at times this year and led the opening stages of the feature. Current runner up in the standings Kevin Jinkerson then carved his way by for the top-spot on lap seven.
Poppert stayed close however, as the action was hot and heavy throughout the pack. The complexion of the race changed when contact ensued between Jinkerson and Poppert while battling for the point on lap 17. Jinkerson ultimately came to a stop, while Poppert was put to the rear in a rough driving call.
Five-time track champ and point leader Nick Baldwin now found himself out front and he would lead the remainder for win number six on the season. Tyler Lightfoot, Wayne Trimble, Tommy Sturgeon and David Silva rounded out the top-five.
Placerville Speedway finishes off the Berco Redwood/ Hoosier Tire championship campaign with Coors Light Big Trophy Night this coming Saturday September 14th.

Sherrell wins USL thriller at Caney Valley Speedway
By John Rittenoure (SNP Photo)
CANEY, Kans. (September 7, 2024) - Saturday nights Ortco, Inc. United Spring
League presented by Same Day Auto Repair main event at Caney Valley Speedway was
a thriller from start to finish. Especially the finish.
Matt Sherrell passed leader Andrew Deal coming to the white flag then held
him off on the final circuit around the Caney quarter-mile oval for a
hard-fought victory driving the Paul Johnson 5X.
Sherrell, who just a week earlier drove from 13th to finish a very close
second to Tyler Edwards in the ironman 55 at Creek County Speedway, charged from
8th starting position and was in a three car battle for the lead after just six
laps.
After Ty Hulsey took the initial lead from the pole defending series champion
Johnny Kent wheeled into the top spot after a lap 2 caution and Deal was right
behind a lap later. Kent kept the field in check until Deal found his way around
him on lap 12. With Deal out front Kent quickly found himself in a battle with
Sherrell for second. The two battled wheel-to-wheel and Sherrell managed to grab
second on lap 20 only to fall back to third on lap 22. On lap 25 Sherrell again
passed Kent and stayed there. Sherrell reeled in Deal as the laps wound down
passing him at the end of lap 29. Sherrell then held off Deal on the final
circuit.
Deal was just 0.428 seconds behind at the finish with Kent settling for
third. Series points leader Tim Kent held on to fourth and Danny Smith came from
ninth to finish fifth.
The victory moved Sherrell to third in points behind Tim and Johnny Kent.
Justin Patocka won the Speed Stix Shocks first heat, Jimmy Forrester picked
up the Kent Fireworks second heat win, and Johnny Kent topped the Morton
Excavating third heat.

Jordan Thomas Gets Redemption at Weedsport
By Curtis Berleue (Weedsport, NY) | After a heartbreaking mistake while leading on the last lap the last time the Empire Super Sprints were in town back in July, Jordan Thomas was hungry for redemption as the tour returned for the finale of the ‘Cavalcade Cup’. And get redemption he did, as he led the final 15 laps en-route to a $2,000 victory.
Logan Crisafulli and Scott Kreuter would lead the field to the green flag, with Crisafulli taking the early lead down the backstretch. Kreutter followed in second, but Jordan Thomas slipped by him before the flag stand to take over the runner-up spot.
With 5 laps complete, the lead duo of Crisafulli and Thomas had opened a significant gap over the rest of the field. Joe Trenca was solidly in third, with Kreutter and Matt Tanner racing for the fourth position.
As Crisafulli worked his way through lap traffic on lap 10, Thomas used that to his advantage and was able to pull right to the tail tank of the #36. Switching his line from high to low, Thomas slid Crisafulli going into turn 3, and exited turn 4 with the lead, leading lap 12.
Working the high side of the speedway, Thomas was able to masterfully work lap traffic and extend his lead over Crisafulli. Behind Crisafulli, Larry Wight had climbed to fourth and was trying everything he could to get by the #98 of Trenca. On lap 20, Wight slid Trenca in turns 3 and 4, but Trenca was able to cross him over and defend third for the time being.
With a clear track ahead of him, Thomas crossed under the checkers first, earning his first victory of the season.
“The car was really good, it was a really technical track tonight,” said Thomas. “It really slicked up compared to what we had in the July race.”
“It feels good to get the win, we’ve got a big week of us headed into Ohsweken, a lot of money on the line and we run pretty good up there, hopefully we can bring home some money.”
Logan Crisafulli continued the momentum he has built over the second half of the season and racked up another podium finish, coming in second behind Thomas.
“I was kind of hoping lap traffic would help me a little bit there,” said Crisafulli. “He had a fast car all night though, so I’m just glad to be up here. This car has been awesome lately, hats off to my team.”
At the line, Larry Wight slipped by Joe Trenca to round out the Ashley Lynn Winery podium.
“I just needed a caution to regroup everyone,” said Wight. “I think we definitely had a second-place car, I couldn’t see the 79 to see where he was, I figure he was probably ripping the lip though.”
“This is the second race on this car, and it hasn’t finished off the podium yet so we’re happy with it.”
With 30 cars in the pits for the final night of the Cavalcade Cup weekend, the field was split into three timed hot lap groups. Rifenburg Contracting fast time awards went to Jordan Poirier, Kelsey Ivy and Matt Tanner. E&V Energy heat race wins went to Larry Wight, Chris Hile and Matt Tanner, while the Kinney’s Kar Kare Dash was won by Chase Moran. Davie Franek won the Lacaillade Masonry B-Main.

Cap Henry claims Fremont 410 win, wraps up 3rd AFCS title; Weaver earns 3rd 305 win with Jamie Miller earning AFCS title; Valenti scores 5th truck win
Saturday, Sept. 7, 2024
By Brian Liskai
FREMONT, Ohio – Coming into the championship night, Saturday, Sept. 7 at Fremont Speedway Presented by Gill Construction for the 410 sprints All Pro Aluminum Cylinder Heads/Kistler Racing Products Attica Fremont Championship Series (AFCS) Presented by the Baumann Auto Group Cale Thomas held a slim 33 point lead over defending series champion Cap Henry. All Henry could do was win on Baumann Auto Group Night and hope for Thomas to finish out of the top 10 if he stood a chance at claiming his third AFCS title. Henry led all 30-laps Saturday to score his second win of the year at “The Track That Action Built,” while Thomas finished 12th .
It is the second straight AFCS title for Henry, the 2023 Fremont Speedway track champion, and his 20th career win at Fremont. It is the Bellevue, Ohio driver’s 7th overall victory of 2024.
Current Fremont Speedway point leader Kalib Henry finished second with Nate Dussel, Zane DeVault and DJ Foos rounding out the top five in the Fort Ball Pizza Palace 410 Sprint A-main.
“Everybody did their part on this team. That thing was just plain fast. I knew I was picking through the traffic good…I read that infield scoreboard more than I ever have in my whole career to see if my lead was building or losing. Zack (Myers, crew chief) kept telling me everything I was doing was right but I couldn’t have botched that last restart any worse if I tried. I’m just so proud of this whole team. It hasn’t been a great year compared to how we did it last year. It was a long shot to get this championship and to pull that off it says so much about everyone involved,” said Henry beside his Premier Planning Service, Jeff Ward Demolition, Ohio Logistics, Primal Tee Shop, Elliott’s Custom Trailers and Carts, FK Rod Ends, Griff’s Engines backed #33W.
Fremont, Ohio’s Paul Weaver and Vermilion, Ohio’s Tyler Shullick put on a whale of a battle for the win in the Fremont Federal Credit Union 305 Sprint A-main. Shullick lead laps 1-4 with Weaver taking over for laps five and six. Shullick regained the lead on lap seven only to see Weaver take it back a lap later and lead to lap 19. The pair raced side by side over that 12 lap battle. Shullick lead lap 20 and Weaver inched back ahead a lap later and held on for his third win of 2024 at Fremont with Dustin Stroup, Jamie Miller and Dustin Dinan rounding out the top five.
The victory is Weaver’s fourth overall victory of 2024 and the 81st of his career at Fremont to sit atop the track’s all-time win list.
“The last month it’s been nice going back to kind of normal. We struggled early this year and finally got some things figured out. I hated showing up wondering what’s going to happen next,” said Weaver beside his Steve Brown’s B&B Drain Service, Hampshire Racing Engines, M&L Excavating backed #1W.
Miller just had to make the feature to wrap up his second NAPA of Bryan AFCS Presented by Jason Dietsch Trailer Sales 305 sprint title, topping Weaver’s four consecutive years of winning the series title.
“We’ve had a very solid year…been pounding away at it getting solid finishes and hoping we can keep going and get the championship here,” said Miller who has nine 305 sprint wins in 2024, three dirt truck victories and a non-wing sprint win this season.
Jamie Miller led the first three laps of the 20-lap Burmeister Trophy Dirt Truck feature before Shawn Valenti took over. Valenti and Steve Miller ran door to door for seven straight laps before Miller suffered engine woes with two laps to go. Valenti drove away for his fifth win of the season over Jamie Miller, Dave Golembiewski, Keith Sorg and Ron Miller rounding out the top five.
The victory is the 79th career win for Valenti at Fremont Speedway, putting him second, just two behind Weaver on the All-time win list.
“We got into a pretty good rhythm there before that caution with five laps to go and I wasn’t sure how hard to push it those last couple of laps and he (Steve Miller) woke me up and got me to sit back up in the seat,” said Valenti beside his Craig Miller Trucking, Conrad Transportation, Dave Story Equipment, A Plus Auto Center, Concrete Material Supply, S&S Hauling and Excavating backed #7B.
Fremont Speedway will be back in action Friday and Saturday, Sept. 13 and 14 for the Jim Ford Classic, the richest event in the history of the track. Friday features a complete program of the Ti-22 Performance Fast on Dirt 410 Sprints, the rest of the series’ feature that was cut short due to rain in June along with double features for the dirt trucks. Saturday will feature a $20,000 to win 410 sprint A-main along with double features for the 305 sprints.

Crisafulli Earns First Empire Super Sprints Win at Brewerton
By Curtis Berleue (Brewerton, NY) | After a handful of strong runs in the month of August, including a podium last weekend at Autodrome Drummond, Logan Crisafulli has finally broken through to Empire Super Sprints victory lane.
After setting Rifenburg Contracting quick time in his timed hot lap group and drawing the Pinnacle Pole, Jonathan Preston led the field to the initial green flag, but it was outside pole sitter Trevor Years who would lead the first two laps.
Preston was able to get by Years to take the lead on lap three, where he would stay for the next handful of laps. Lap 9 saw Dalton Rombough inherit the lead from Preston, with 7th starting Logan Crisafulli hot on his heels in second.
After stalking Rombough for 5 laps, Crisafulli was able to sneak by him for the lead on lap 15. While perennial Brewerton favorites Larry Wight and Danny Varin were chasing Crisafulli, they weren’t able to get past the driver of the #36 and he was able to hang on for his first Empire Super Sprints victory.
“Theres not a whole lot of brown down there (on the bottom),” said Crisafulli in victory lane. “I knew it worked, so I had to try it, and it continued to work if I hit my marks.”
“I knew I could at lead come side by side with the guys behind me out of the corner, so I knew that if they were able to get by me on the high side, I could at least try something different.”
Larry Wight came from the 12th starting spot to finish second.
“I just tried to hit my marks, hit my marks,” said Wight. “The bottom was fast, but you had to hit it right. If you missed it a little bit then you’d be spinning off, but if you could keep the car straight you could use a little throttle.”
Rounding out the Ashley Lynn Winery podium was Danny Varin.
“I just think we were too good way to early,” said Varin. “Great job by them (Crisafulli), they’ve been fast the last couple of races, just ran out of time.”
With 27 cars pit side for the first of three nights of action on the Labor Day triple header weekend, the field was broken into three timed hot lap groups to start the evening. Jonathan Preston, Jordan Thomas and Sammy Reakes IV earned Rifenburg Contracting fast time awards in their respective groups, while Davie Franek, Larry Wight and Sammy Reakes IV picked up E&V Energy heat race wins. Joe Trenca won the Cobra Coaches dash, and Chris Hile picked up the victory in the Lacaillade Masonry B-Main.

Joe Trenca Victorious at Fulton Speedway
By Curtis Berleue (Fulton, NY) | Continuing the trend of new faces in victory lane, Joe Trenca picked up the win on Saturday night with the Empire Super Sprints at the Fulton Speedway. After riding in second for the majority of the event, he passed Johnny Smith for the lead with two laps to go to secure his first win of 2024 with the Tour.
After drawing the Pinnacle Pole Award, Johnny Smith jumped out to the early lead over outside polesitter Joe Trenca. The lead duo would remain that way for the majority of the event.
While Smith and Trenca paced the field, the show was behind them as both Jason Barney and Billy VanInwegen started mid pack and were meticulously working their way through the field.
Having started 14th, Barney had worked his way permanently into the top 10 by lap 5, and on lap 11 had begun to pick off cars lap by lap, moving into the top 5 with just 3 laps remaining.
VanInwegen was writing a similar story, having started 8th, he worked his way into fifth by lap 3 and then up to fourth on lap 13.
With just two laps to go, Trenca was able to get by Smith, who had led the entire race up until that point and lead the final laps to pick up his first victory of 2024.
“I could run the bottom, and I knew my pace was really good but the lap cars didn’t work out,” said Trenca. “We ran each other clean and we got the win.”
“He (Smith) could have shut the door on me hard there and he raced me clean. I was really good through the middle, I could use the wing to try to capitalized on that (slidejob) and we did it.”
Johnny Smith was able to hold on for the runner-up position.
“Halfway through the race we lost brakes, and I knew I was getting held up by lap traffic,” said Smith. “He (Trenca) did a phenomenal job and I knew that if we got another yellow then I was going to be out of luck – I’m really happy to come home second.”
Jason Barney rounded out the Ashley Lynn Winery podium in third.
“We have enough race car, enough crew and enough engine, the driver just doesn’t always do the right things and do his job the best that he can,” said Barney. “Last night was disappointing, we just moved forward to tonight. We felt like we learned some things, or at least did some things we know worked instead of doing things that don’t.”
The field was split into three timed hot lap groups at the beginning of the night, with Billy VanInwegen, Logan Crisafulli and Danny Varin earning Rifenburg Contracting fast time awards. E&V Energy heat races were won by Jordan Poirier, Sammy Reakes IV and Jordan Thomas. The Cobra Coaches dash went to Shawn Donath.

Jock Goodyer surges to Nor*Cal Posse Shootout triumph
By Gary Thomas
Placerville, CA…After driving back from Washington on Friday in time for this weekends Nor*Cal Posse Shootout, Australian 360 Sprint Car champion Jock Goodyer put on a clinic Sunday night, scoring his initial Placerville Speedway victory.
The Launceston, TAS, Australia wheelman piloted the Kevin Kozlowski owned Works Limited No. 57w, wrenched by Paul Silva, to an $8,000 score during the 7th running of the Nor*Cal Posse Shootout presented by Berco Redwood.
Sharing victory lane on Sunday night was Roseville driver Brent Steck, who earned a $5,000 win in the High Sierra West Coast Wingless Shootout portion of the evening.
The 35-lap Winged 360 Sprint Car feature started out with Fresno’s Caeden Steele leading the opening circuit, until Goodyer made the move under him to grab the point. At that same time Steele’s car broke loose and he looped it to a stop, bringing out a caution with one lap down.
Once out front Goodyer had his way with things and withstood multiple restarts, keeping the rest of the field at bay. He went on to accept the Ron Stahl checkered flag for his first career victory in the United States.
Placerville’s own Shane Hopkins continued his fantastic season with another strong run after starting from position number 11. The driver of the High Sierra Industries No. 21 made several precision-based moves to charge forward and grab second from Monrovia, Indiana’s Justin Peck with three laps remaining.
Hopkins closed the gap slightly but couldn’t do anything with Goodyer as the race wrapped up. Lincoln’s Tanner Carrick put together a solid run and was able to nip Peck at the line to round out the podium.
After competing with Kubota High Limit Racing on Saturday at Skagit Speedway, Peck made the 13-hour drive south to compete for owner Clayton Snow. He was rewarded with a fourth-place finish, while 14th starter Chance Grasty rounded out the podium.
Completing the top 10 were Dylan Bloomfield, Cody Key, 18th starter Colby Copeland, Sean Becker and Tony Gomes. Copeland’s run from 18th to eighth netted him the $425 Hard Charger Award in memory of Davy Thomas.
A total of 31 Winged Sprint Cars returned to cap the Nor*Cal Posse Shootout presented by Berco Redwood. Caeden Steele began the evening by earning fast time with a lap of 10.714.
The High Sierra West Coast Wingless Shootout main event saw a very popular winner in the form of Brent Steck, who battled to the lead on lap six and withstood a late challenge by Shawn Jones.
Dylan Newberry jumped out front early and paced the opening laps until Steck was able to slice his way past. The bottom side was the preferred groove for the wingless warriors however, Shawn Jones gave it a try upstairs.
Picking off cars one by one the San Jose driver carved his way into second with six laps remaining and then took his shot on a restart. Jones blasted to the high side to grab the top-spot and lead lap 22. Jones then caught the cushion just hard enough though to turn the car sideways and send him over the banking for a yellow.
Steck then led the final few circuits to grab the triumph over Newberry, Saturday winner Shane Hopkins, Anthony Bruno and Heath Holdsclaw. Twenty-one Wingless Sprints returned on Sunday with Newberry setting fast time to begin the program.
Placerville Speedway now gears up for the penultimate championship point race of the season this Saturday September 7th. Anrak Night at the Races will feature the Thompson’s Dealerships Winged 360 Sprint Cars, the USAC Western States Midgets, BCRA Lightning Sprints and the Red Hawk Casino Pure Stocks.

Kofoid Outlasts Last-Lap Slider During Thriller to Capture $100,000-to-Win BillionAuto.com Huset's High Bank Nationals Presented by MENARDS at Huset's Speedway
Inside Line Promotions - BRANDON, S.D. (Sept. 1, 2024) - Michael "Buddy" Kofoid etched his name into sprint car history on Sunday night at Huset's Speedway, where he earned the $100,000 top prize after outlasting Carson Macedo in a thrilling BillionAuto.com Huset's High Bank Nationals presented by MENARDS main event.
It marked the first crown jewel triumph for Kofoid and his second career World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series victory at Huset's Speedway, where he became the 37 th different winner in 43 main events this season.
"One hundred thousand, that's a lot of money," he said. "I'm kinda at a loss for words.
"Obviously the money is good, but just to win an Outlaws race is so damn hard. If you put yourself in contention it's bound to happen."
Kofoid did just that all weekend to line up on the outside of the front row in the 40-lap feature on Myrl & Roy's Paving Night, which served as the final race of the season at the high-banked track.
Macedo, who was the high-points driver following Saturday's preliminary night, won a heat race as well as the King of the Hill to garner the pole position for the A Main. He powered into the lead on the start and held the top spot until Kofoid executed a slide job in turns three and four on Lap 24.
Macedo responded with a slide job of his own in the same corners one lap later. He and Kofoid nearly made contact, with Kofoid checking up and Macedo regaining first place. A few laps later Macedo was stuck behind a pair of cars he was attempting to lap, which allowed Kofoid to sneak by on the bottom of turns one and two on Lap 30. Kofoid quickly lapped the two drivers to build approximately a one-second advantage before the final caution of the race occurred on Lap 34.
Kofoid was smooth on the restart and again held a comfortable lead until getting to traffic on the final lap. As he dove low underneath a lapped car and slid up the track in turns three and four, Macedo made a power move, hitting the bottom and sliding across the track directly in front of Kofoid exiting turn four. Macedo's momentum guided him into the frontstretch wall as Kofoid turned slightly underneath him and won the drag race to the checkered flag by 0.223 seconds.
"Carson and I were going at it pretty good and I could pace him pretty well in traffic," he said. "We fought pretty hard and almost turned it over when he slid me. I thought that was it. I could just maneuver the bottom really well. I feel that's what kept me close to him.
"I was trying to watch the board (in the closing laps). I knew traffic was going to play a factor. I got to him a lap earlier than I wanted to. I can't even think right now. I'm glad we just won this race. Redemption from last year."
Macedo's second-place result was his fifth podium outing in his last seven races.
"I didn't know that I was going to have enough," he said of the last-lap move. "It gave me just enough of a run where I could throw a Hail Mary at it. It was definitely all I had. I knew that was the only shot I had was to bounce it off the fence and get to the line. Racing for big money is laying it all out there on the line."
Bill Balog recorded a third-place finish, which was his career-best performance during a World of Outlaws race at Huset's Speedway.
"This is huge," he said. "It's been a really good three days. It's a huge night for us. We seem to be going in the right direction with this Triple X car. I'm just super happy with tonight."
Giovanni Scelzi placed fourth and Donny Schatz was fifth.
Kofoid, Schatz and Scelzi joined Macedo as heat race winners. Christopher Thram picked up the Last Chance Showdown victory.

Leading by nearly a three second advantage over the first nine laps, Xavier Doney would appear to be in the head of the class only to jump the cushion in turn two ending his night with wall contact as Kameron Key inherited the lead after the caution.
Protecting the front of the field in a very technical track, Kameron Key would never flinch with the lead over the final seventeen laps with Joe B Miller and Ayrton Gennetten keeping close throughout the middle of the race.
Holding steady over a last race restart, Kameron Key would not be denied in earning his first seasonal POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprint victory in an action-packed main event with Derek Hagar hustling into the runner-up position late after starting twelfth.
“I haven’t been getting a lot of calls this summer to drive so I am very thankful to the McGarry family for the opportunity and their continued support,” said Kameron Key in the Eldon Missouri victory lane ceremony celebrations. Adding, “I had to act like more of a reserved racer tonight knowing that I would be better at around 80% then I would be running all out, tonight it really paid off to be patient”.
Challenging closely behind would find point leader Ayrton Gennetten placing on the final podium placement from the starting sixth on the initial green flag.

Willie Croft strikes for victory on night one of the Nor*Cal Posse Shootout
By Gary Thomas
Placerville, CA…Making the final Placerville Speedway starts of his career this weekend, Colfax driver Willie Croft proceeded to make it count by racing to victory on opening night of the Nor*Cal Posse Shootout presented by Berco Redwood.
Sharing victory lane on Saturday during the High Sierra West Coast Wingless Shootout portion of the night was Placerville’s own Shane Hopkins.
The 30-lap Winged 360 Sprint Car finale began with Roseville’s Colby Copeland putting the Van Lare Steering Repair No. 5v out front. Dash winner Croft stalked his every move however, as close battles were seen all throughout the field.
The complexion of the race then changed on lap 11 though, as the yellow flag waved for a car slowing down the back stretch. Unfortunately for Copeland, heartbreak city occurred when he got upside down in turn three along with Ryan Rocha while avoiding the slowing car. Both drivers were okay but done for the night.
Croft now found himself out front with Modesto’s Tony Gomes moving into the runner up spot. Several movers and shakers were seen in the main event, including Shane Hopkins, who charged from 16th to third by lap 12.
Gomes kept leader Croft withing his sights and at one point, made the move to slide in front of him entering turn three. The veteran driver stayed poised though and sliced back to his inside, maintaining the point.
A final caution then occurred with three circuits remaining. On the restart Croft blasted away from the pack to accept the Ron Stahl checkered flag aboard his Grinders Automotive/ Rudeen Racing No. 29. It marked his fifth career Winged 360 Sprint Car triumph at Placerville Speedway, ironically tying him with Gomes and fellow veteran Jimmy Trulli, who also wraps up his driving career this season.
Gomes crossed the stripe in second, with Hopkins finishing off a stellar run from row eight to round out the podium.
Hanford’s Michael Faccinto arguably had the run of the night though. After winning the B-main, the driver of the F&F Racing x1 rocketed through the field in aggressive fashion to finish in fourth place after starting from 21st. Redding’s Max Mittry also capped a solid night by rounding out the top-five.
Completing the top-10 on opening night of the Nor*Cal Posse Shootout presented by Berco Redwood were Lincoln’s Tanner Carrick, Australian Jock Goodyear, Suisun City’s Chance Grasty, Dunnigan’s Luke Hayes and El Cajon’s Braden Chiaramonte.
A total of 37 Winged Sprint Cars competed on Saturday. Yuba City’s Seth Standley earned his first career Placerville fast time award to open the night with a lap of 10.650.
The 25-lap main event for the High Sierra West Coast Wingless Shootout started out with Roseville’s Josh Young climbing into the lead. Young had earlier set fast time and captured his heat as he worked on a clean sweep of the evening.
Several stoppages were seen in the feature, which never allowed drivers to get into a constant flow. Shane Hopkins though had found something through the middle of the speedway and began to march his way forward. The 30-year-old took over second on lap eight and then came after the leader.
After hounding Young for the top-spot Hopkins took command on lap 12 and never looked back. The driver of the Cliften & Warren Feed/ MP Operations No. 21 pulled away for his fourth career Wingless Sprint Car win at Placerville Speedway.
Young, DJ Johnson, Brent Steck, Dylan Newberry, Eathon Lanfri, Peter Paulson, Tyler Cato, Shannon Newton and Josh Gillis rounded out the top-10.

It's Willison Again In Must See Sprint Battle At Owosso
OVID, Mich. (Aug. 31, 2024) – There’s just something about Owosso Speedway that Canadian hotshoe Aaron Willison has found to his liking in the Must See Racing Sprint Car Series presented by Perfit.
The Langley, British Columbia veteran and current National Pavement Sprint Car Rankings leader drove from ninth to first in a dicey 40-lap feature Saturday night at the three-eighths-mile oval, notching his second series win of the year and completing a season sweep of MSR events at Owosso.
Willison surgically picked his way up seven positions to second in the first 11 laps, then ate into early leader Jason Blonde’s advantage at the front of the field.
A near-two-second lead was erased in a matter of moments, and Willison made what turned out to be the race-winning pass with an outside-inside cross in turn three on lap 18.
From there, Willison checked out, opening up a gap of more than five seconds before fellow Canadian Ryan Litt found his way to second with 13 laps left.
Litt knocked two seconds off the deficit, but it was a caution with six to go – after Florida’s J.J. Dutton spun in turn two – that truly gave the field one quick chance at dethroning Willison’s dominance.
Willison chose the inside lane for the lone restart of the night, and surged away on the green flag as teenager Colton Bettis scrapped for second with Litt behind him.
That brief battle allowed Willison to pull away to a .949-second victory in owner Dick Myers’ familiar, red-and-yellow No. 50m sprinter.
“To roll [forward] from ninth like we did, Dick Myers and the crew had the RAM Engineering (No.) 50m rolling tonight. That baby was really, really good,” he said in victory lane. “Four-ten sprint cars on three-eighths miles are my jam. We’ve got a three-eighths [track] at the Evergreen State Fairgrounds in Monroe, Washington, that I’m really good at. I just like the rhythm of those tracks because they’re a great size for these cars.
“Places like here at Owosso are just big enough we can get up and move around, but they’re not too big that [the racing] gets all strung out. Awesome, awesome facility and I had a lot of fun out there.”
Making the night extra special were the different historical threads that intersected in the final laps also.
Willison’s triumph marked the 50th win for Myers since taking ownership of the iconic ‘Mopar Missile,’ a mark that few pavement sprint car teams anywhere in the country have been able to reach.
In a feat of longevity, Myers has done so all with the same car, affectionately known as Seabiscuit.
The veteran leader will also be inducted into the Michigan Motorsports Hall of Fame in October, making the fact that such a milestone happened at a Michigan racetrack all the more fitting.
“It’s just such an honor that Dick lets me drive this race car,” Willison noted. “Everyone in sprint car racing knows this (No.) 50 car and to give Dick his 50th win with it … that’s something as a driver I’ll remember for a long time.”
Bettis, the standout 14-year-old from Lutz, Fla., matched his MSR career-best after passing Litt for second place during the final restart.
Though he got to the runner-up spot on lap 35, Bettis said he just didn’t have enough on the short run to be able to keep pace with Willison at the end.
“I think if I would’ve figured out passing a little bit better, we would’ve definitely been a hundred times better getting through there and giving ourselves a shot. Toward the end, I started figuring it out a little bit, but Aaron had a rocket ship out there. He’s the best in the country right now and he proved why in that one.”
Litt completed the podium after having no practice laps all day due to slowdowns getting across the American-Canadian border en route to the racetrack.
Ohio’s Kevin Mingus was fourth after starting from the pole, and retook second in the point standings as a result of his efforts. He was just ahead of 2022 series champion Charlie Schultz in fifth.
Series point leader Joe Liguori finished sixth and extended his championship advantage, unofficially, to 52 points with one race remaining. Blonde faded to eighth with a worn out right-rear tire after leading the first 17 laps.
Willison’s fast lap during qualifying was 12.773 seconds (105.692 mph) and netted him a $500 bonus. Blonde and Dorman Snyder dominated their respective eight-lap heat races prior to the main event.
The Must See Racing Sprint Car Series season culminates with the season finale Friday night, Sept. 13 at Birch Run (Mich.) Speedway and Event Center. Liguori is in command as he looks to close out the points race and capture the season championship.

ILLINOIS SWEEP!
GRANT REIGNS AT Du QUOIN’S TED HORN “98”
By: Richie Murray – USAC Media
Du Quoin, Illinois (August 31, 2024)………After standing atop the leader board
in practice, qualifying and the 100-mile race two weeks earlier at the
Springfield Mile, there was only one way that Justin Grant could top himself.
Yet he did.
On Saturday’s 70th running of the Ted Horn 100 at the Du Quoin State
Fairgrounds in southern Illinois, it was “second verse, same as the first” for
the Ione, Calif. native and his Hemelgarn Racing/NOS Energy Drink – Super
Fitness – Hemelgarn Enterprises/DRC/Speedway Chevy.
After pacing the field in practice, Honest Abe Roofing Qualifying and the
main event at Du Quoin, Grant stamped himself into the record books once more as
the 23rd driver to win champ car races under the AAA and/or USAC banner at both
one-mile Illinois dirt tracks in a single season.
On that particular list, Grant joined Tony Bettenhausen (1951), Sam Hanks
(1953), Jimmy Bryan (1955-56), Johnny Thomson (1958), A.J. Foyt (1964 & 1967),
Al Unser (1970), Mario Andretti (1973-74), Gary Bettenhausen (1983), Jack Hewitt
(1986-87-93), Chuck Gurney (1989-94-96), Paul White (2001), J.J. Yeley (2002),
Tracy Hines (2006), Brian Tyler (2008) and Chris Windom (2018).
“It’s awfully, awfully special,” Grant exclaimed. “To sweep the miles, and to
have my name on a list with names like that, is incredible. Sometimes it feels
like I’ve written mine on there with a crayon. But I’m starting to get a little
more used to the feeling and I’m certainly liking it.”
Despite starting from the pole, Grant fell back to second in the early stages
before chasing down and overtaking Logan Seavey on lap 32, then going on to lead
the remaining 69 laps and capture his second consecutive Ted Horn 100 victory,
the first driver to achieve such a repeat triumphantly at Du Quoin since Shane
Cockrum in 2014 and 2015.
Despite completing 98 percent of the laps, Grant had 100 percent of the field
covered in what was his third-straight dirt mile victory with the series, the
longest stretch of success by any driver since Kody Swanson scored four
consecutive on the mile dirt tracks between 2014 and 2015.
Furthermore, Grant is now the first driver since Tracy Hines in 2006 to win
the pole and the race at both Illinois dirt miles in the same season. Grant’s
seventh career USAC Silver Crown score also elevated him to 17th on the all-time
win list alongside fellow series champions Jerry Coons Jr., Rick Hood and George
Snider. In the process, Grant cut his championship point deficit behind Kody
Swanson to just 12 after maximizing his output by gaining 76 at Du Quoin.
In what turned out to be the first rain-shortened USAC Silver Crown race at
Du Quoin since the 1974 edition 50 years ago, weather was imminent throughout
much of the day. That aspect, in addition to all of the other necessities of
successfully navigating the scheduled 100-mile distance, weighed heavily on
Grant’s gameplan.
“We raced with the rain in mind all day,” Grant revealed. “I pushed a little
harder early and through the middle section of the race than I wanted to. But
with what we had for the weather all day, we worked really hard to make sure we
were quick time in hot laps in case we rained out qualifying, so we could get
those points and start on the pole. We approached the race a little bit like,
‘hey, we might have rain toward the second half of this thing. Let’s not save it
all for the last restart.’”
Much of the first half was marred by accidents that led to a Ted Horn 100
record five red flag periods, all of which each driver walked away from. Don
Droud Jr., making his USAC Silver Crown debut, was the first such victim on lap
seven after his right front spindle broke while running 11th, sending him
straight into the outside turn one wall before flipping over.
Jimmy Light was next in line to find misfortune on lap 15 when he suddenly
slowed in turn two while running 15th, which sent him skating up the racetrack
right into the path of Brady Bacon who collided with him, resulting in Light
impacting the wall and flipping over. Beforehand, Bacon was required to start at
the tail after going to a backup car due to a transmission failure with his
primary ride.
It was 22nd running Danny Long’s turn next as he banged the outside wall
exiting turn four and flipped over on lap 27. Danny Jennings did the same in
turn three, making his mark on the turn three wall before flipping several times
in his rude introduction to the Du Quoin mile.
As far as the “almost” incidents, Grant nearly had one in his pursuit of
Seavey for the lead on lap 23. After nearly getting into the back of Seavey’s
rear bumper, Grant turned his wheel left, right, left as he swerved to avoid
blasting Seavey. The close call proved costly in the short term as Grant saw a
one car length deficit balloon to eight car lengths. However, it came within a
whisker of ending his day prematurely.
“I got down in there and I had to jump on the brakes late,” Grant recalled.
“I had the left front down in the dust and the right front in the rubber and it
hooked me back right. I was facing the wrong way! I thought, ‘oh boy, we’ve
really done it here.’ I was really fortunate to get away with that one and
regroup and have another shot at (Seavey).”
Once Grant gathered himself, he quickly found his footing again and slid past
Seavey on the bottom of turn one on lap 33 to place himself in the race lead.
Seavey fought back by cutting under Grant between the long sweeping turns of one
and two to retake it, albeit briefly. Grant had the last word as he powered back
around the outside of Seavey exiting turn two to take over the top spot, and for
good.
“I felt like I could make a lot of right rear grip and stay really straight
where guys were having to slide their cars, so I could run a really good pace
and keep my right rear tire under me and that allowed me to make that move
there,” Grant recounted. “I was able to dive in, get across him and still make
enough grip out of the rubber to come back to it and stay with him. We were able
to hold him down off two. These things on a mile with the fuel load take a
minute to get wound up. It’s not like a sprint car where you can just fire down
to the other end. You keep them where they can’t get back to the throttle quite
as quick as quickly as they want to. When his motor bogs, you can roll up off
there and beat him down to three.”
Kody Swanson soon slotted into the second position on lap 42 after sweeping
around the outside of Seavey on the back straight. Grant possessed a 1.6 second
lead at the time, but Swanson, a two-time winner of the Ted Horn in his own
right in 2010 and 2017, soon made it a contest as he clamped down on Grant
throughout the second half of the show.
“In these things, you want to lead them if you can,” Grant explained. “If you
feel like you can get there at a decent pace, that’s kind of what you want to do
because you can control the race a little bit. Kody was really good there at the
end, but we had track position, and we could make a lot of roll speed through
the center.”
Rookie drivers had their share of the headlines around the midway point of
the race and beyond. Saban Bibent, making just his second career series start,
entered the top four by the 50th circuit. Meanwhile, fellow Rookie Briggs Danner
was surging, making his way into third past Seavey on lap 65.
Ultimately, heartbreak bit Bibent on lap 88 while running fifth as he entered
turn one without brakes, nearly colliding with the concrete perimeter between
turns one and two. Moments later, he dropped low and pulled in, ending a
memorable run with an 18th place result.
Tire wear became the next issue at hand on lap 90 when fifth running C.J.
Leary fell by the wayside with a flat right rear tire, which necessitated a
caution. At the very same moment, seventh running Chase Stockon’s right rear
went kaput as did eighth running Shane Cockrum’s, sidelining three of the top
seven in one fell swoop.
Mitchel Moles, running fourth with five miles to go, had his best Silver
Crown run to date come to an end when he ran out of fuel and stopped on the main
straightaway.
As the field prepared to face a green-white-checkered restart to decide the
finish of the race, Mother Nature had other plans. As the rain continued to
fall, cars were ultimately called into the pits. After a delay and an attempt at
working in the dirt, it became clear that the race would not be able to
continue. It was estimated that an hour would be required to get the track
surface back into raceable shape. However, with a deadline to complete the race
within a certain timeframe looming (due to preparations for a concert taking
place on the stage at the track), the race was deemed complete with Justin Grant
the victor over Kody Swanson, Briggs Danner, Jerry Coons Jr. and Logan Seavey.
For Kody Swanson (Kingsburg, Calif.), the driver of the Doran-Binks
Racing/Mission Foods – Wilke Orthodontics – Glenn Farms/Maxim/Hampshire Chevy,
it was his best result at Du Quoin since winning in 2017.
Meanwhile, Briggs Danner (Allentown, Pa.) recorded his best career result in
his Rookie year with the USAC Silver Crown series, starting and finishing third
aboard his DMW Motorsports/Fuel Mart – Power Control Systems – Advanced
Materials Technologies/DRC/R07 Chevy.
Chris Fetter (Troy, Mo.) raced from 22nd to 10th to earn hard charger honors
along with his best career USAC Silver Crown finish. His performance occurred
exactly 10 years to the day of his first USAC start on August 31, 2014, also at
Du Quoin.
It was the feel good story of the day. Jerry Coons Jr. (Tucson, Ariz.)
finished fourth in his 23rd career Ted Horn 100 start at Du Quoin. It also came
in the Bateman Racing team's final Du Quoin start where they competed in their
first race in 1982. For his 11th to 4th run on this special, but bittersweet day
for the Murphysboro, Ill. based team, Coons earned honors as the Inferno Armor
Fire Move of the Day.

Macedo Charges to BillionAuto.com Huset's High Bank Nationals Presented by MENARDS Preliminary Win and High-Point Honors During Ace Ready Mix Night at Huset's Speedway
Inside Line Promotions - BRANDON, S.D. (Aug. 31, 2024) - Carson Macedo executed a late-race slide job to capture the BillionAuto.com Huset's High Bank Nationals presented by MENARDS preliminary night triumph on Saturday at Huset's Speedway.
Macedo's charge from eighth to win on Ace Ready Mix Night was his second career World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series victory at the high-banked track. It also set him up well as the high-points driver entering the $100,000-to-win event finale on Sunday.
"It feels good to have a lot speed here," he said. "That was fun. It feels good to win, but it's really cool when you win it from eighth like that."
Macedo was the third of three different leaders during the 35-lap main event. Hunter Schuerenberg led the first four laps before Chase Randall took over the top spot with a slide job in turn two on a restart on Lap 5.
A caution on Lap 11 for a spin by Scott Winters was followed by a caution two laps later when fifth-running Scott Bogucki got sideways and collected seventh-running Sheldon Haudenschild. Macedo had climbed into the top five by that point and drove into the runner-up position on Lap 23. The final caution came out on Lap 28 when fifth-running Schuerenberg stopped after contact with Giovanni Scelzi in turn three, setting up the final restart of the race.
Randall rocketed away on the restart, but traffic with three laps remaining allowed Macedo to close to Randall's rear bumper. One lap later, Macedo used a slide job in turn two to narrowly clear Randall for the top spot. Randall went for a slide job of his own in turns three and four, but Macedo's momentum against the cushion prevailed and he led the final two circuits to win by 0.534 seconds.
"That caution helped a lot," Macedo said. "I don't think we would have ever got to him without that restart there. We got to lapped traffic really quick there. And then the lapped cars were all over the place. I felt like I was in the cat bird's seat. Sometimes it's better to be running second in those situations."
Randall, who was going after his first career World of Outlaws win, settled for a career-best second-place showing.
"We were really, really close to getting one tonight," he said. "I think there's a couple of little things I could have done different."
Donny Schatz rounded out the podium, marking a much better outing than the previous night when he was involved in a wild heat race crash that ended his night early.
"We kind of tightened up there," he said. "It felt rolled over the whole time. We have to try to fix that if we're going to try to win this race tomorrow night."
Buddy Kofoid hustled from 17 th to fourth and Bill Balog charged from 16 th to fifth.
Emerson Axsom and Aaron Reutzel each set quick time to lead their qualifying groups. The heat races were won by Schatz, Kaleb Johnson, Randall and Bogucki. Brendan Mullen posted the C Main victory and Winters topped the Last Chance Showdown.
The BillionAuto.com Huset's High Bank Nationals presented by MENARDS concludes on Sunday during Myrl & Roy's Paving Night when the World of Outlaws feature winner will earn a whopping $100,000. The main gates open at 4 p.m. with hot laps slated for 7 p.m.

Haudenschild and Chaney Capture Victories at Huset's Speedway During Huset's Hustle Presented by Folkens Brothers Trucking; Zebell Earns Track Championship
Inside Line Promotions - BRANDON, S.D. (Aug. 30, 2024) - Sheldon Haudenschild and Mike Chaney both pocketed a big payday at Huset's Speedway on Friday night during the Huset's Hustle presented by Folkens Brothers Trucking.
Haudenschild topped a thrilling World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series main event to score the $25,000 top prize. Chaney made the most of his first career Nordstrom's Automotive Late Model Street Stocks win at the track during the $5,000-to-win feature - the biggest payout in division history.
Additionally, the final track champion of the season was determined as J.J. Zebell captured the Nordstrom's Automotive Late Model Street Stocks title for the first time in his career.
Emerson Axsom held the top spot for the first 22 laps of the 35-lap World of Outlaws main event, but Haudenschild was all over him as the duo diced through traffic. Haudenschild executed a slide job into turn three to take the lead on Lap 23, but Axsom returned the favor by hitting the bottom groove perfectly in turns one and two on the ensuing lap. He pulled in front of Haudenschild to regain the lead entering turn three. The lone caution of the race came out on the next lap as the drivers were side by side.
Haudenschild powered into the lead for good in turn two on the restart with 11 laps remaining and held off a late charge from Buddy Kofoid for his third career World of Outlaws victory at Huset's Speedway.
"(Axsom) was doing a great job," said Haudenschild, who has produced a podium result in his last five World of Outlaws races. "I feel like we got him in traffic and was probably a little nice and he got back by us. I didn't really know what to expect on that restart. I'm really surprised he didn't rip the top and I was able to get around him."
Kofoid's second-place showing from the ninth starting position marked his third straight podium run.
"I was able to chase people down in dirty air," he said. "Every time we come here I feel we're exceptionally good. I was able to run Sheldon down, but I kinda ran out of time. It's nice to know we have good speed, good enough speed to win. We'll see if we can be one spot better and hopefully get some redemption on Sunday."
Axsom recorded a third-place result to tie his career-best World of Outlaws outing.
"I hate it for my guys, to be in position and kinda give one away there," he said. "It's hard to out-Haud Haud. I feel our stuff is good for the next couple of nights. We just gotta tweak on it a little and I can do a better job in some places."
Garet Williamson placed fourth and Ryan Timms ended fifth.
Timms and Haudenschild topped their qualifying groups. The heat races were won by Logan Schuchart, Kaleb Johnson, Axsom and Williamson. Justin Henderson drove to the C Main triumph and Mark Dobmeier was the Last Chance Showdown winner.
Chaney led the distance of the Nordstrom's Automotive Late Model Street Stocks A Main, which was scheduled for 25 laps but added an extra one thanks to a caution on the final scheduled circuit, setting up a green-white-checkered restart.
"It feels pretty damn good," he said. "I've been fighting this car all year. On the start the shifter broke so I was stuck in high gear the whole time. I didn't need that last yellow. I was kinda nervous."
Six cautions, including one on the final scheduled lap, bunched the field together numerous times and kept Chaney out of traffic. He was efficient running the bottom groove lap after lap and produced a solid launch on the green-white-checkered restart to win by 0.449 seconds.
Garet Deboer was the runner up, garnering his best result at the track this season.
"It's been a great night," he said. "We're getting better every week with this car."
Cory Yeigh advanced from eighth to third, posting his sixth podium of the season at the dirt oval.
"Congrats to Mike and Garet," he said. "It was a heck of a race."
Zebell scored a fourth-place finish despite an ill-handling race car to garner the track title.
"It feels pretty damn awesome," he said. "It's been a long time coming. We broke halfway through there and I was just hanging on."
Matt Steuerwald rounded out the top five.
Yeigh set quick time during qualifying before Steuerwald, Zach Olivier and Chaney earned heat race wins.
The racing weekend continues at Huset's Speedway on Saturday when the World of Outlaws kicks off the BillionAuto.com Huset's High Bank Nationals presented by MENARDS with a $15,000-to-win program during Ace Ready Mix Night. The main gates open at 4 p.m. with hot laps at 7 p.m.

Cap Henry a bridesmaid no longer, takes FAST win to open Attica Ambush
Friday, Aug. 30, 2024
By Brian Liskai
ATTICA, Ohio – Cap Henry has finished second at Attica Raceway Park the last three straight races. The defending track champion was able to take the lead with just five laps to go Friday, Aug. 30 on Great Lakes Truck Centers/Murphy Tractor & Equipment Night and drove to his fourth win of the year at “Ohio’s Finest Racing” speed plant to open the Attica Ambush with the Ti-22 Performance FAST On Dirt Series.
The last five laps of the 40-lap, $6,000-to-win affair were chaotic to say the least. Henry took the lead from Brandon Spithaler on lap 35 right before a caution. Spithaler had taken the lead on lap seven when leader Zeth Sabo ran over a tire from a flipping Creed Kemenah. When the green flew with four laps to go Spithaler and Cale Thomas collided while battling for second, collecting Zane DeVault necessitating a fuel stop. When the green flew Henry, from Bellevue, Ohio, drove away for his 20th career 410 sprint car win at Attica. It was his sixth overall victory of 2024. Greg Wilson drove from 14th to second with Kalib Henry earning third over DJ Foos and Trey Jacobs.
“Our game plan the whole time was we knew we had to be tight and be good the last 10 and not the first 10 like we have been the last four or five times. Zack (Myers, crew chief) has probably never heard me yell so much because we’ve lost so many. I was nervous those last four laps. My guys told me what I was doing was right. Zack tweaked on that thing during the open red and it felt pretty good. Shout out to my guys…they just kept working on it,” said Henry beside his Premier Planning Services, Jeff Ward Demolition, Ohio Logistics, Primal Tee Shop, Elliott’s Custom Trailers and Carts, FK Rod Ends, Griff’s Engines backed #33W.
For Wilson, who won last weekend with the IRA, coming from 14th starting spot, nearly repeated that at Attica.
“Hate to whine…I was pissed the way the track was all night and it made a fool out of me. It slicked off so that you could move around and thank goodness my wife and my girls and Nick Daugherty worked hard and I didn’t feel like it was right to give up. Can’t thank Attica Raceway Park and the fans enough. This place is really cool and when you run good you know you’ve done something. The guys that run here have gotten really, really good over the last couple of years,” said Wilson beside his Hercules Tires, Ohio Logistics, DNC Hydraulics, Heitmeyer Concrete backed #W20.
California driver Kalib Henry ran among the top five the last two thirds of the feature and held on for a podium finish.
“Glad to have some speed back. I want to apologized to Greg. I was racing in the rear view there quite a bit and I hopefully didn’t bug him too much. I hate racing like that. I was just kind of hanging on for dear life. Jim and Rebecca back home, and Kevin for busing his tail to get another car back together after our crash at Knoxville. Want to say hi and get well to Chase Johnson back home…I don’t know if he’s watching this or not but my heart’s out for you and I hope you get better soon,” said Henry beside his Running Boxer Farms, Harris Distributing, Valvoline Oil backed #101.
In the Whistle Stop Presents the Dirt Nerds Podcast Powered by Propane UMP Late Model feature, Mansfield, Ohio’s Kyle Moore put on a dominating performance, leading all 25 laps and at times had over a four second lead. He would take his sixth Attica win of the year and his 18th overall victory of 2024. Doug Drown, Todd Brennan, Ryan Markham and Mike Bores rounded out the top five.
“I have a lot of confidence in myself. I know what I can do. It’s making everything line up and making it happen is two different things. Ty Tworg…I’m telling you right now, I don’t know what these boys are waiting for but they better make a phone call to that guy and get a car. Otherwise it’s going to be a long year again next year,” said Moore beside his Kepling Flooring, Tye Tworg Longhorn, Joyride Transportation, Smitley Towing, Short Stop, Malcuit Race Engines, Wilson Realty, Robin Jakubick, RL Bond Septic, Hepthorn Golf Cart Sales, House of Spud, K&B Septic Service, Coffman Composites, Team Midwest Paint, Platinum Design backed #1*.
Attica Raceway Park will be back in action Saturday, Aug. 31 for another $6,000 to win 410 sprint car feature with the Fremont Fence 305 Sprints going for $1,200 to win.

Haudenschild and Chaney Capture Victories at Huset's Speedway During Huset's Hustle Presented by Folkens Brothers Trucking; Zebell Earns Track Championship
Inside Line Promotions - BRANDON, S.D. (Aug. 30, 2024) - Sheldon Haudenschild and Mike Chaney both pocketed a big payday at Huset's Speedway on Friday night during the Huset's Hustle presented by Folkens Brothers Trucking.
Haudenschild topped a thrilling World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series main event to score the $25,000 top prize. Chaney made the most of his first career Nordstrom's Automotive Late Model Street Stocks win at the track during the $5,000-to-win feature - the biggest payout in division history.
Additionally, the final track champion of the season was determined as J.J. Zebell captured the Nordstrom's Automotive Late Model Street Stocks title for the first time in his career.
Emerson Axsom held the top spot for the first 22 laps of the 35-lap World of Outlaws main event, but Haudenschild was all over him as the duo diced through traffic. Haudenschild executed a slide job into turn three to take the lead on Lap 23, but Axsom returned the favor by hitting the bottom groove perfectly in turns one and two on the ensuing lap. He pulled in front of Haudenschild to regain the lead entering turn three. The lone caution of the race came out on the next lap as the drivers were side by side.
Haudenschild powered into the lead for good in turn two on the restart with 11 laps remaining and held off a late charge from Buddy Kofoid for his third career World of Outlaws victory at Huset's Speedway.
"(Axsom) was doing a great job," said Haudenschild, who has produced a podium result in his last five World of Outlaws races. "I feel like we got him in traffic and was probably a little nice and he got back by us. I didn't really know what to expect on that restart. I'm really surprised he didn't rip the top and I was able to get around him."
Kofoid's second-place showing from the ninth starting position marked his third straight podium run.
"I was able to chase people down in dirty air," he said. "Every time we come here I feel we're exceptionally good. I was able to run Sheldon down, but I kinda ran out of time. It's nice to know we have good speed, good enough speed to win. We'll see if we can be one spot better and hopefully get some redemption on Sunday."
Axsom recorded a third-place result to tie his career-best World of Outlaws outing.
"I hate it for my guys, to be in position and kinda give one away there," he said. "It's hard to out-Haud Haud. I feel our stuff is good for the next couple of nights. We just gotta tweak on it a little and I can do a better job in some places."
Garet Williamson placed fourth and Ryan Timms ended fifth.
Timms and Haudenschild topped their qualifying groups. The heat races were won by Logan Schuchart, Kaleb Johnson, Axsom and Williamson. Justin Henderson drove to the C Main triumph and Mark Dobmeier was the Last Chance Showdown winner.
Chaney led the distance of the Nordstrom's Automotive Late Model Street Stocks A Main, which was scheduled for 25 laps but added an extra one thanks to a caution on the final scheduled circuit, setting up a green-white-checkered restart.
"It feels pretty damn good," he said. "I've been fighting this car all year. On the start the shifter broke so I was stuck in high gear the whole time. I didn't need that last yellow. I was kinda nervous."
Six cautions, including one on the final scheduled lap, bunched the field together numerous times and kept Chaney out of traffic. He was efficient running the bottom groove lap after lap and produced a solid launch on the green-white-checkered restart to win by 0.449 seconds.
Garet Deboer was the runner up, garnering his best result at the track this season.
"It's been a great night," he said. "We're getting better every week with this car."
Cory Yeigh advanced from eighth to third, posting his sixth podium of the season at the dirt oval.
"Congrats to Mike and Garet," he said. "It was a heck of a race."
Zebell scored a fourth-place finish despite an ill-handling race car to garner the track title.
"It feels pretty damn awesome," he said. "It's been a long time coming. We broke halfway through there and I was just hanging on."
Matt Steuerwald rounded out the top five.
Yeigh set quick time during qualifying before Steuerwald, Zach Olivier and Chaney earned heat race wins.
The racing weekend continues at Huset's Speedway on Saturday when the World of Outlaws kicks off the BillionAuto.com Huset's High Bank Nationals presented by MENARDS with a $15,000-to-win program during Ace Ready Mix Night. The main gates open at 4 p.m. with hot laps at 7 p.m.

HUSET'S SPEEDWAY -
Huset's Speedway is a dirt oval located in Brandon, S.D. The track opened in 1954 and has undergone a large renovation within the last few years, making it a premier destination for both marquee racing events and weekly programs.
Timms, Jansen and Ferguson Victorious at Huset's Speedway During The Bull Haulers Brawl Championship Night for Sprint Cars Presented by Folkens Brothers Trucking on Royal River Casino Night
Inside Line Promotions - BRANDON, S.D. (Aug. 25, 2024) - Ryan Timms, Jared Jansen and Brandon Ferguson cashed in on Sunday at Huset's Speedway, which hosted Royal River Casino Night featuring The Bull Haulers Brawl Championship Night for Sprint Cars presented by Folkens Brothers Trucking.
All three drivers reached the top step on the podium on a night when Kaleb Johnson (Cressman Sanitation 410 Outlaw Sprint Cars) and Brady Donnohue (Wyffels Hybrids RaceSaver Sprint Car Series) captured their first career track championships at the high-banked oval.
"I'm proud of my guys," Johnson said. "They busted their butts each and every week not only here but across the Midwest. We're just out here having fun and making memories."
"It's pretty surreal," Donnohue said. "I didn't have this on my goals for this year. I'm just tickled to death."
Andy Pake led the first six laps of the 25-lap, $7,000-to-win Cressman Sanitation 410 Outlaw Sprint Cars main event before Timms pounced in traffic. Aaron Reutzel was all over Pake in the battle for the lead amidst traffic, but it was Timms who rocketed by both drivers down the backstretch on Lap 7.
Timms set a torrid pace for the remainder of the race, winning by 2.034 seconds. It was his second victory of the season at the dirt track.
"There at the start we were really loose," he said. "I got my wing back. Reutzel had got by me at that point. We got into lapped traffic and it was slowing their pace up quite a bit. All of a sudden I was driving by both of them down the backstretch. The car was amazing."
Reutzel executed a slide job for the top spot on a restart on Lap 17, but Timms turned his car underneath Reutzel exiting turn four to maintain the lead. Reutzel's runner-up result was his best outing at Huset's Speedway this year.
"I don't think I got the car where I needed it tonight and I don't think I did a good job of driving," he said. "I had one shot at him, but it was such a Hail Mary that he had all the time to turn down. I gave it my all, just once again it wasn't meant to be. It was a cowboy-up track. Traffic was fun. All in all, it was a good night. I wish I was one spot better, but we'll just have to take it."
Dusty Zomer placed third for his best finish of the season at the track.
"Tonight the track was real heavy so everyone was going to be fast," he said. "Starting sixth, we'll take a podium out of it."
Kerry Madsen was the fourth-place finisher and Pake ended fifth.
Reutzel set quick time during qualifying to open the program before Pake, Brendan Mullen, Brant O'Banion and Justin Henderson produced heat race wins. Tyler Drueke was the B Main winner.
Jansen led all 20 laps to score his first career Wyffels Hybrids RaceSaver Sprint Car Series at Huset's Speedway, where he became the 10 th different winner in 10 division races this season.
"I've been waiting for this one for a long time," he said. "We've been doing this for darn near 20 years and hadn't won one here."
Dan Carsrud, John Lambertz, 16th-starting Shayle Bade and 11th-starting Zach Patterson rounded out the top five, respectively.
Lambertz, Lee Goos Jr., Jeremiah Jordahl and Carsrud were the heat race winners. Gaige Weldon picked up the B Main win.
Ferguson led the distance of the Nordstrom's Automotive Late Model Street Stocks main event for his first win of the season at Huset's Speedway. He became the seventh different winner in the division this year.
"It's been a terrible year and on this hot day I second guessed even wanting to come out," he said. "I'm so glad we did."
A trio of cautions in the second half of the feature bunched the field together, but Ferguson hit his marks consistently to win by 0.777 seconds.
Kinzer Glanzer finished second with points leader J.J. Zebell advancing from ninth to third. Garet Deboer placed fourth and 11th-starting Matt Steuerwald maneuvered to fifth.
The heat races were won by Ferguson, Tracy Halouska and Craig Hanisch.
The 2024 racing season at Huset's Speedway wraps up next weekend with a special three nights of action featuring the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series. On Friday, it's the Huset's Hustle presented by Folkens Brothers Trucking featuring the World of Outlaws and the final Nordstrom's Automotive Late Model Street Stocks race of the season. The World of Outlaws will return to the high-banked track on Saturday and Sunday for the BillionAuto.com Huset's High Bank Nationals presented by MENARDS.

King Scores in Ryder Memorial for BRP at Tri City Raceway Park; Spithaler, Wolbert, and Fielding also Prevail; Point Champions Named
(Franklin, PA August 25, 2024): The Rick and Rob Ryder Memorial was held at Tri City Raceway Park. It marked the first showdown between the BRP Modified Tour and the 21st Century Energy Group Modifieds. Getting the win at the end of forty laps, and $4,018 plus contingencies, was Rex King, Jr. This makes him the odds-on favorite in the double feature program that will be held over the Labor Day weekend.
Also picking up victories were Brandon Spithaler (Krill Recycling 410 Sprint Cars), Chas Wolbert (RUSH Modifieds), and Pat Fielding (Hovis Auto & Truck Supply Pro Stocks).
In addition, seasonal championships were announced for A.J. Flick (Krill Recycling 410 Sprint Cars, Chad Reitz (21st Century Energy Group Modifieds), Rod Laskey (Hovis Auto & Truck Supply Pro Stocks), and John Mollick (4 Your Car Connection RUSH Sprint Cars).
King received the pole position in the re-draw. Next to him was Dr. Brad Rapp. Shannon Whaley and Jim Rasey were in row two, with Shawn Kosar and Will Thomas lined up in the third row. Row four belonged to Chas Wolbert, who was doing double duty, and Garrett Krummert. In row five, Mike Kinney was paired up with Erick Rudolph. Hayden Holden and Peter Britten made up row six.
Rapp got the edge entering turn one on the opening lap, and he cleared King coming off turn two. Rasey, Thomas, Rudolph, and Kozar followed. Rapp set a brisk pace in the opening laps, and King also separated himself from the battle for third between Rasey and Krummert.
A caution on lap nine for Colton Walters bunched the field back up again. However, Rapp was up to the task and he maintained his lead over King. Krummert secured third with Rasey, Rudolph, Thomas and Britten trailing.
After the race passed the quarter mark, King powered off turn two to take the lead from Rapp. They continued as the leaders, with Krummert and Rudolph battling for the third position. Britten moved into fifth by the time the field saw the crossed flags.
On lap twenty-five, a two car tangle involving Kyle Fink and Steve Feder in turn two required a red flag for the clean-up. At that time, King led Krummert, Rapp, Britten, Rudolph, and Thomas.
After the race resumed, Britten advanced to second. A caution for Ayden Cipriano halted the action on lap thirty-four.
It took a couple of tries to get the race going again. On the second try, Britten spun in two and collected Rapp, moving Krummert up to second for the restart.
Nonetheless, King resumed his lead over Krummert. Thomas raced along in third, followed by Tyler Willard and Rudolph.
A flagman’s caution on lap thirty-eight slowed the pace one last time. The culprit was Rasey, who was facing oncoming traffic but nevertheless managed to keep the car moving. Thus, he was awarded his position again despite the miscue.
King had the point for the single file restart and he completed the final two circuits without incident. Krummert took second, with Willard, Thomas, and Rasey in the top five. Rudolph, Wolbert, Dave Murdick, Whaley, and Kinney completed the top ten.
The BRP Modified Tour squared off against the 21st Century Energy Group Modifieds in four heat races. The checkers fell for Rex King, Jr., Chas Wolbert, Garrett Krummert, and Peter Britten. The B Main winner was Jeff Miller. Colton Walters captured the Dash.
In the Krill Recycling 410 Sprint Cars, Brandon Spithaler drew the pole, with Matt Farnham by his side. Chase Metheney and Bob Felmlee were in row two, followed by Dusty Larson and Mark Smith. Dale Blaney and last week’s winner, A.J. Flick made up row four. Jack Sodeman, Jr. and Michael Bauer occupied row five, with Jazlyn Boyles and Andy Cavanaugh in row six.
Farnham fought off Spithaler on the opening lap, with Felmlee, Metheney, Flick, Smith, and Sodeman racing ahead of Larson and Bauer. Larson brought out the first caution, on lap two.
Farnham retained the lead on the restart, but Spithaler was persistent. He searched high and low for an opportunity to pass, but nothing materialized. A caution for Boyles on lap seven bunched the field back up again.
Once again, Farnham raced out front under the green, but Spithaler was even more determined. He finally got by Farnham near the halfway mark. In the second half of the contest, Spithaler pulled away with ease. He did slack off a bit when he encountered lapped traffic, but his lead was so substantial that Farnham could not challenge for the win.
Spithaler took the checkers ahead of Farnham, Blaney, Flick, and Smith. Felmlee, Sodeman, Metheney, Bauer, and Michael Lutz, Jr. rounded out the top ten.
The pair of heat races for the Krill Recycling Sprint Cars went to A.J. Flick and Matt Farnham. There was no B Main.
In the RUSH Sportsmen Modifieds, Kole Holden jumped from second on the grid to lead the opening lap. He was scored ahead of Chas Wolbert and the pole man, J.C. Boyer. Ayden Cipriano and Brandon Ritchey followed.
A caution eight laps in for Troy McGregor bunched the field up, but Holden moved out to the lead again when the green lights came on. Four laps later, Wolbert powered ahead coming off turn two and he led the rest of the way to collect the win.
Wolbert, Cipriano, Holden, Karston King, and Ritchey made up the top five. Logen Lockhart, Todd English, Aaron Mulrouney, McGregor, and Boyer were the final finishers.
The pair of RUSH Sportsmen Modified heat races were won by Chas Wolbert and Kole Holden. There was no B Main.
Pat Fielding used the pole position to stake himself to an early lead in the Hovis Auto & Truck Supply Pro Stock finale for the night. Rod Laskey raced from third to the lead several laps into the contest, but he spun on his own while leading to end his chances for the win.
Fielding was back in control for the restart and he completed the remaining laps without interference. Jason Black, Andrew Hammond, Russ Coyne, and Doug Iorio, II, completed the top five. Cody Koteles, aaron Smith, Dale Tuche, Ron Boardman, and Tony Spaghetti completed the top ten.
The Hovis Auto & Truck Supply Pro Stocks also presented a couple of heats, which belonged to Pat Fielding and Jimmy Fosnaught. There was no B Main.

Bob Felmlee was second in the final standings. Andy Cavanaugh, Jeremy Weaver, and Bodey McClintock clinched top five positions. In the 21st Century Energy Group, it was Chad Reitz over Steve Slater.

SEASON LONG EFFORTS PAY OFF FOR WAGNER, MOORE, MARKHAM, COLLINS, AND TUCKE
By William Burkhart
Caleb Helms would make a return to Wayne County and start on the pole of the 25 lap Pine Tree Towing and Recovery Feature with points leader Leyton Wagner to his outside. Helms would jump out to the early lead. Wagner and Tyler Gunn in second and third respectively. Wagner would make a few efforts to get past Helms. He would try a slider on lap 4 but would slip and let the 91 of Gunn get by him. 17 to go Tyler Gunn would slide past the 40x of Helms and take over the lead. Gunn would slice and dice his way through lap traffic. Jordan Ryan would enter the mix on lap 13 to try and steal the track championship. Lap 15 Caleb Helms would eliminate the 8 tenth of a second lead that Tyler Gunn had to steal the lead back. Gunn would stay within half of a second of the Findlay Ohio Native. As hard as he would try Gunn couldn’t catch the 40 of Helms as he wins his first Wayne County feature in 2024 in his first visit. Tyler Gunn would be second and Leyton Wagner would finish third to collect his first Wayne County Speedway Track Championship.
Millersburg’s Mitch Caskey and Mansfield’s Dave Hornikel would lead the field to the green for the Malcuit Tavern UMP Late Models. Kyle Moore who had the championship clinched was offered to start 12th for a shot at a $500 bonus if he could win and excepted Jason’s challenge. Hornikel would jump up to the top side and take the opening lead. Coming around for lap 2 the field would get stacked up and bring out the first Bucks Auto Sales Yellow Flag of the evening. Back under the green Hornikel would get back to work. Moore would drive his Tye Twarog longhorn up to the second spot by lap 5. As he would catch the back of Hornikel another yellow would fly for Trace Settles spinning in turn 4. Back under the Green Moore would rip the lip and take over the lead. Behind them JR Gentry would make his way into the 6th spot after starting in the 16th position. Moore would run away with the race. As the laps ticked by Gentry would find his way into the third sport. Moore would open up close to a 6 second lead. As he came around to the checkers one car would spin setting up a one lap dash. With Nathan Loney on his tail Moore would run away from the field to pick up his 11th WCS win of 2024 and his first Malcuits Tavern UMP Late Model Championship. JR Gentry would sneak by Loney to go 16th to 2nd and Loney would take third.
The top 2 in Flynn’s Tire & Auto Service UMP Modifieds would make up the top to starting positions. Jimmy Humphrey would start on the pole with Ryan Markham to his outside. Markham would duke it out with Humphrey before getting by him at the flag stand on the opening lap. Markham would rip the lip with Jess Hartman behind him. Ryan Robey would spin in turn in 4 to bring out the first Bucks Auto Sales Yellow Flag of modified competition. Back under green flag action Markham would lead the field with Hartman all over his back bumper. Lap 5 would see another yellow for the Hood coming up on Daniel Sanchez’s machine. Back under green it would be a lot of the same story with Markham leading and Hartman in a very close battle. After another yellow we went back under the green with Markham still holding on to the lead. Hartman would try some big slider jobs to try and take over the lead. Lap 12 Casey Butler and Dustin Daugherty would get up to the 5 of Hartman. When it looked as if Markham would have the race in the bag a Yellow would fly once more for a spinning Ron Miller. Markham would choose the top side and get a great restart in the 2-lap shootout. Hartman would try slide job after slide job. On the last lap going into turn three Markham would tag the wall allowing Hartman to get along side him. The two would drag race to the line and Markham would beat Hartman by a 10th of a second to win the feature and his first Flynn’s Tire &Auto Service UMP Late Model Championship.
Johnny Bruce and Kyle Petit would lead the Joyride Transport field to the green for 12 laps. Justin Cranmore would jump out the early lead with Johnny Bruce running in second and points leader Anthony Collins in third. Yellow would fly for debris on lap 3. A few yellows would slow up action before Cranmore would lead the field to some green flag laps. Doug Hensel would find his way into the second spot and work on getting past the 2 machine with Anthony Collins behind him. Cranmore would stick to his line. Despite all efforts Hensel couldn’t by as Cranmore would pick up his 4th win of 2024 as third place finisher Anthony Collins would pick up his first career track championship.
Braden Tucke would start on the pole for the Glass House Super Stock feature with Kyle Moore to his outside for 15 laps of racing. Tucke would jump out to the early lead with Moore in hot pursuit. Tucke would run the middle line with Moore right around the wall. The two would run away from the field before Jim Nicley would spin to bring the Bucks Auto Sales yellow flag. Back under way the two would go back to their huge lead over the field. Moore and Tucke would duke it out until Moore would take the lead from Tucke with 5 laps to go. Moore would cruise off to the victory as Braden Tucke would win back to back championships in the Glass House Super Stocks.

Jason Barney Scores $3,000 at Autodrome Granby
By Curtis Berleue (Granby, QC) | On the first night of a two-night trip to Quebec for the Empire Super Sprints, it was Jason Barney sitting in victory lane. Worth $3,000, it was Barneys first victory at the Granby, Quebec track and his third win overall of 2024 on the tour.
Pinnacle Pole Award winner Logan Crisafulli jumped out to the lead on the initial green, though the field failed to complete a lap as the red flew for a flipping Matt Tanner in turns three and four.
On the restart, Crisafulli again jumped out to the lead, this time with Jason Barney in tow, moving up from his third starting position.
As the lap counter clicked 5 laps complete, Crisafulli had opened up a nearly two second advantage over Barney and third place Jordan Poirier. He would hold that lead until the second red of the even flew on lap 15, this time for Davie Franek who flipped after catching the inside wall in turns one and two.
When action resumed, Crisafulli’s night abruptly came to an end as he made contact with Barney entering turn one, bringing out another caution.
On the ensuing restart, Barney was able to quickly open a lead over Shawn Donath and Jordan Poirier, who were battling for second. With 5 laps remaining, Poirier took sole possession of second place as Donath began to slip backwards.
While Joe Trenca was able to get by Donath for third with three laps remaining, nobody had anything for the #87 of Barney, who picked up his third win of 2024.
“This isn’t exactly one I’m too proud of,” said Barney in victory lane. “I completely wiped Matt (Tanner) out, I just went in the corner on the start and had no brakes. I couldn’t feel any worse for him right now.”
“Logan, I thought I had position on him, I didn’t know he was there. Just not how I wanted to win a race. I feel bad for everybody.”
Jordan Poirier came home second, and Joe Trenca rounded out they Ashley Lynn Winery podium finishing in third.
In front of a packed house, the field was split into two timed hot lap groups with Logan Crisafulli and Matt Tanner earning Rifenburg Contracting fast time awards. E&V heat race wins went to Danny Varin and Jordan Poirer.

Jordan Poirier Picks Up Empire Super Sprints Win at Drummond
By Curtis Berleue (Drummondville, QC) | After years of trying, Jordan Poirier is finally an Empire Super Sprints winner in his home province of Quebec. The two time and defending champion has been close to a win in Quebec multiple times, and on Saturday night all of the stars aligned for Poirier as he picked up $3,000 for his efforts.
Bryan Cloutier was the Pinnacle Pole Award winner, and as such brought the field to green alongside of Alex Bergeron. Cloutier jumped out to the early lead and paced the field for the first eleven laps.
Behind Cloutier, Bergeron was holding steady in second with Logan Crisafulli in third, having a solid run for the second night in a row.
Quebec native and current points leader Jordan Poirier started in fifth and had slowly been picking off cars, moving into the top three on lap 6, and then getting by Bergeron for second on lap 7.
By lap 11, Poirier had the lead and never looked back, crossing the line first and picking up his first ESS win in his native province of Quebec.
“Tonight was somewhat of a dream,” said Poirier. “Tonight, everything was just going our way. We had a really good car at the beginning, felt good and that restart we were able to just get away.”
“It was so good to win in front of a crazy crowd like that.”
Logan Crisafulli came home second, a career best ESS finish for him.
“We found our way up, the engine wasn’t right the whole night,” said Crisafulli. “I just tried to keep going and going, and luckily is lasted the whole race.”
Shawn Donath rounded out the Ashley Lynn Winery podium in third.
“Solid finish again tonight, third from seventh – the car was fast,” said Donath. “The 21 car changed his line the last lap, which helped us. Overall the car was great. We were good last night and then it broke. Tonight we were able to pick up where we left off.”
The field was split into three timed hot lap groups at the beginning of the night, with Jordan Poirier, Matt Tanner and Joe Trenca earning Rifenburg Contracting fast time awards. E&V Heat races were won by Jordan Porier, Alex Therrien and Joe Trenca.
Before the A-Main, Autodrome Drummond honored 8-time ESS Champion Steve Porier for his accomplishments in both a modified and sprint car. In addition to being tied for the most ESS Championships, Poirier is also the winningest driver in tour history with 77 wins.
Saturdays event at Drummond was the final event of the Coffrage 4 Saisons Canada Tour. Jordan Poirier is the 2024 tour champion.
The next scheduled event for the Empire Super Sprints is this coming Friday August 30th at the Brewerton Speedway in Fonda, NY where the tour will kick off a Labor Day weekend triple header.

NIENHISER FENDS OFF NEUMAN FOR MACON MOWA WIN
August 24, 2024 - Paul Nienhiser added another MOWA Sprint Car Series
victory
to his resume on Saturday night, earning his second-career victory at the ⅕-mile
oval tying five-time series champion Jerrod Hull and the late Terry Babb.
Nienhiser started fourth in the 25-lap affair but knew that his #9X machine
would
be in contention by the end. As the green flag fell over the field, a caution
happened just as quick as Corbin Gurley’s feature run ended before it began as
the left-front wheel broke completely away from the car, resulting in a DNF. On
the first attempt of starting the A-Main as the field powered down the
backstretch,
Nienhiser had pulled alongside front-row starter Luke Verardi but had to revert
back to his original starting spot.
On the restart, polesitter Tyler Duff surged ahead and held command over the
field as the battle ensued behind him. Nienhiser was battling with Brayton Lynch
and Luke Veradi in the top three in the early stages of the A-Main. A yellow
flag
for Zach Daum slowed the field once more and allowed Verardi and Nienhiser to
have Tyler Duff within reach. When the field returned to green flag conditions,
Nienhiser put his #9X on the top shelf of Macon Speedway and muscled his way
around Duff to take over the point. A yellow flag as the race neared the
midpoint,
for Joel Myers that collected Brayton Lynch, Cory Bruns, and Joey Moughan
again bunched the field up. Myers, aboard the Hayward Motorsports #19
became the driver to watch, coming from the back of the field and quickly back
into the top five as laps continued to wind down. Nienhiser’s lead over the
field
was starting to shrink as he worked into lapped traffic. Jake Neuman had worked
his way to second in the closing laps and pulled to Nienhsier’s rear bumper but
wasn’t able to overtake the Chapin, Illinois driver who made a last lap move
past
Brayton Lynch to put a car between he and Neuman. Exiting turn two on the final
lap, Neuman worked past Lynch and came within striking distance but couldn’t
capitalize, as NIenhiser crossed under the checkers first. Jake Nueman finished
second with Joel Myers, Jr third, John Barnard fourth, and Kameron Key in fifth.
The finish:
A Feature 1 (25 Laps): 1. 9X-Paul Nienhiser[4]; 2. 3N-Jake Neuman[7]; 3. 19-Joel

By Jim Balentine
(Mercer,Pa)
On a special Friday night lights, Michaels Mercer Raceway presented one of the biggest shows in their 73 year history on a beautiful late summer evening as fans packed the speedway for the running of the Jeff Gilliland Memorial Western Pennsylvania 410 sprint car championship presented by FASTonDIRT as well as the Al Priester memorial 602 crate modified event. 96 cars graced the pit area for the four division event.
The FASTonDIRT Western Pennsylvania sprint card championship race was held in
memory of Jeff Gilliland who passed away at just 50 years old
Jeff loved the races, especially sprint cars. His grandfather Richard Hawley as
well as Jeff's 2 uncles, Lloyd Hawley and Vern Hawley, and his cousin, Jimmy
Hawley were all race car drivers locally.
For the $8000 to win Jeff Gilliland memorial West Pa. Sprint car championship feature twin state auto racing club hall of famers Jimmy Hawley and Gary Edwards would pace the 22 car field whittled down from the 32 cars in the pit area. Conner Morrell and Logan McCandless would lead the 30 lapper to green. Morrell would take the lead at the start but the race would go yellow as last years winner Bob Felmlee would spin up in turn 2. On the restart Morrell would again lead the way with AJ Flick driving the Bernie Steubgen #71 following in 2nd
The steel city outlaw Tim Shaffer making a rare Mercer appearance would be racing McCandless for 3rd before a yellow would fly again. Morrell would then again have a 1.7 second lead over Flick but on lap 10 Flick would go to the high side in turn 2 to take the lead. On lap 14 Zane DeVault would scrape the concrete wall on the frontstretch ending his night. Dale Blaney who started in 10th would methodically work his way through the pack moving up to fifth by lap 15.
McCandless would then start to challenge Shaffer for 3rd after a restart. Flick would open up a 3.1 second advantage over Morrell as the laps were winding down. 20 time Mercer winner Jack Sodeman Jr. would be holding strong running in 4th early in the race trying to catch Shaffer but as the laps were winding down Sodeman would fall back and with 3 laps to go would smack the inside tire in turn 3 ending his night. With the laps being run and with the accident a fuel stop was necessary. When the race resumed Flick would again take off and would pick up his biggest payday ever winning over $8,500 defeating Morrell by 1.885. McCandless would finish 3rd, Dale Blaney would get around Shaffer for 4th on lap 23 and Shaffer 5th.
A jubilant Flick would say “this is frickin’ awesome!!! these guys busted their butt for me tonight and owner Bernie (Steubgen) dialed it in and I am beyond thankful. The track widened out like I thought and I knew if I was in the lead they would have to come back to me. Bernie called me and asked me if I wanted to drive the #71 this week and I was so excited and everyone had to calm me down. Conner was ripping the top and I was around the bottom and I stayed on the bottom and into lapped traffic and I was able to complete the pass and stay out front. This is and blessing and special!! I’ve known Jimmy Hawley since I was young when I was moving up from street stocks I went to him for help and he gave me good advice and tonight he parked next to me and he came over and wished me good luck and was concerned about me when this night was about his family. The entire family is so important to racing and I hope I made them proud tonight!!
For the Al Priester memorial for the 602 crate modifieds 23 cars would take the green flag for a chance at $1771 to win. Don Cornelius and Al’s son Gage Priester would start on the front row with Priester leading the way for the first 8 laps. Ayden Cipriano would follow behind Priester until lap 9 when Cipriano made the winning move and would start to pull away.. but multiple cautions would bunch up the field. Brian Schaffer, Jeff Schaffer Sr., and Garrett Krummert who started 21st would battle throughout the field for 3rd,4th and 5th until Krummert took over 3rd on lap 11 and then would get around Priester for 2nd on lap 15 setting his sights on Cipriano. With the extended green flag session Cipriano was able to pull away and defeat Krummert by 3.18 seconds at the end collecting $1771 in his highest payday to date and his 4th career crate modified Mercer feature. Jeff Schaffer Sr was able to get around Priester for third on lap 19 and Cole Edwards was 5th. In the final point total leader Eric Gabany finished in 7th and was able to hold off Schaffer Sr. by 13 points to claim his 1st crate modified crown and his 2nd overall title. Cipriano would say , “it means a lot to win the Al Priester memorial especially when this is where it all started for me when I was 7 and I’ve run in all these divisions here and now that I’m in college I hope that I can race while I’m there and keep running in these and more big block modified races!”
The Racesaver 305 sprints would determine a track champion as well and it wouldn’t be decided until the checkered fell. Former champion Jarrett Rosencrance would start on the pole and lead the first 9 laps until 5th starting Vivian Jones would be able to get around for the lead. Veteran Andy Priest who started 11th would be up to 2nd by lap 15 getting around Rosencrance and set his sights on Jones. Nolan Groves would run the best race he has had at Mercer running a solid 3rd and 4th most of race also got around Rosencrance on lap 16. Rosencrance fell to 4th and James Pattock was 5th. Point leader Jake Gomola finished 8th and with the win by Jones catapulted Jones into the track championship by just one point!!! Andy Priest finished just 7 points behind in 3rd. A happy Vivian would say “it’s been such a great and emotional night!!it’s an honor to win in front of this huge crowd this is awesome!! We’ve been really good on the bottom and I was on it with the adjustments we made and it felt good!”
Devin Haley after being a bridesmaid so many times finishing in second finally got the monkey off his back and picked up his first career Mercer mini stock feature win worth $400 after winning his career first previously this season. The 2 top point men Carl Ealy and Corey Bice would start on the front row of the 22 car field but 4th starting Haley would take control immediately and lead all 15 laps. A red on lap 4 for a barrell roll by Linwood Thorne would halt the action. Thorne was ok. After the restart Corey Bice, Chaz Smith and Carl Ealy would swap positions back and forth but Smith would hold on to second after lap 7 to finish .870 behind Haley in his best finish. Bice would finish 3rd and Ealy fell to 4th with Chuck Davis 5th. Ealy would hang on to win the track championship by just 5 points over Haley while Bice would be 12 points behind. Haley would say, “I can’t believe it !! They say it’s hard to win your first one and then it’s easy and we are here!! I’m super pumped we had a rough start to the year but now we are here!! with the open rules it’s fair and it’s allowed us to win!”

WESTBROOK, COSTA, BEAGLE, AND ELSLIGER TAKE CHRISTMAS IN AUGUST WINS AT OHSWEKEN
Article Credit: Brent Otchere
OHSWEKEN, Ont. (August 23, 2024) – Pinewood Horticultural Services and Ontario Agra presented Christmas in August at Ohsweken Speedway on Friday; Dylan Westbrook, Jesse Costa, Ryan Beagle, and Jeff Elsliger took A-Main wins.
Kool Kidz-Corr/Pak 360 Sprint Cars
Liam Martin and D.J. Christie brought the 25 car field to the green flag for the
360 Sprint Car A-Main. Martin set the pace, leading the opening laps of the race
and encountering traffic in just six laps. Christie brought out the red flag on
lap seven with a violent solo flip off the track in turn three. Christie
immediately pulled himself out of the wreck unharmed.
The restart saw Dylan Westbrook get the better of Martin and take the lead away. Unlike other times when Westbrook has taken the lead this season, he had to fight off a challenge for the win as Nick Sheridan proved to be a real threat. Sheridan was wheel-to-wheel with Westbrook in the closing stages of the race, but ultimately Westbrook was able to edge out Sheridan after a late restart and pull away for the win.
The triumph was a milestone for Westbrook, as it was his 40th A-Main victory in 360 Sprint Car competition at Ohsweken. Josh Hansen was able to squeak by Sheridan for second, while Sheridan settled for the final podium spot. Rounding out the top five were Martin and Matt Farnham.
Strickland’s Crate Sprint Cars
Brian Nanticoke started on pole with Al Sleight next to him for the 20 lap Crate
Sprint Car A-Main. Nanticoke led the opening laps with Brett Stratford hot on
his heels. The one and only caution flag came out when Keegan Baker came to a
stop in turn one. Nanticoke was able to hold off the hard-charging Stratford
initially after the restart, however Stratford overtook for the lead on lap
eleven.
Once Stratford got the clean air, the handling went away for him and allowed Jesse Costa to close the gap. Costa took the lead in heavy traffic with seven laps to go and knifed through more traffic to lock down the win. The win was Costa’s 10th career Crate Sprint Car victory at Ohsweken and moved him into a tie with Ryan Hunsinger and Holly Porter for second on the all-time win list. Stratford was able to salvage a second place finish, with Brent Begolo finishing a close third. Steve Murdock finished in fourth, and Andrew Hennessy closed out the top five.
Middleport Mechanical Thunder Stocks
Logan Ferguson started on pole alongside Scott McPhail to take the green flag
for the 20 lap Thunder Stock A-Main. Ferguson was only able to hold his pole
position for a single lap as Donny Lampman found himself leading by lap two. Lap
three saw a caution flag, allowing Ryan Dinning to become the third leader of
the race after a superb restart. Dinning’s lead was cut short due to another
caution, which allowed Zach Bleich to take over out front after the restart.
The racing began to heat up as the leaders were racing five wide, displaying their talent and car control. The spectacular racing came to a halt when a red flag was thrown due to Kyle Andress hitting the inside wall in turn four and barrel rolling. Andress was unharmed in the accident. The closing laps had a three-way battle for the lead between Ryan Beagle, Adam Plazek, and Dave Bailey. A late restart saw Beagle get the better of his competition and take his 18th career Thunder Stock win at Ohsweken. Next to cross the line were Bailey in second, Plazek third, Ron Loggie fourth, and Bleich fifth.
HRW Automotive Mini Stocks
The front row of the grid featured Nick Erskine and Jeff Elsliger to begin the
15 lap Mini Stock A-Main. Elsliger proved to be the one to beat at the drop of
the green flag, easily putting over a one second gap on the field. Fabio
Olivieri came to a stop on lap five, bringing out the caution flag. Elsliger
stood tall to the task, leading again after the restart.
Ken Hair tried to set up an overtake on Elsliger, but his efforts were thwarted by an untimely caution when Olivieri stopped on the track again. Elsliger timed the restart perfectly with just three laps to go, managing to lead every lap and take his fourth career Mini Stock win at Ohsweken. Following Elsliger were Hair in second, Tim DeBoer third, Nick Erskine fourth, and Alex Riley fifth.
Up Next at Ohsweken Speedway
I.L.A Sports and Brant County Tire present Back to School Back Pack Night on
Friday, August 30, featuring the Kool Kidz-Corr/Pak 360 Sprint Cars, Middleport
Mechanical Thunder Stocks, and HRW Automotive Mini Stocks. Visit

MARATHON:Tyler Ross scores second URC Win of 2024 and Cuts the Points Lead to 5 after a War of Attrition at Big Diamond
Written by Bert Wojcik
Every now and again you get a race that sets the entire season on its head and
throws the biggest wrench into what might have been a near sure thing. That was
Big Diamond on Friday night. The United Racing Club made its 38th appearance at
the Schuylkill county 3/8th mile oval for its last race in Pennsylvania for the
2024 season. After what felt like a marathon, Lincoln University’s Tyler Ross
scored his second URC win of the season and is now within 5 points of Josh
Weller with 2 races left in 2024.
The feature started with Seth Schnoke and Cody Fletcher on the front row. The
highside was the place to be as Cody Fletcher would take the early lead and lead
the first lap. Coming to complete the 2nd lap Kyle Smith would explode a right
rear and caution would wave. This is where the shenanigans would begin. On the
restart. Cody Fletcher fired too early and would get sent back a row for a jump
start. That would move JT Ferry to the front row and he would choose the high
side to take the lead. Caution would then fly as Jake Galloway would bring out
the caution. On the restart would see Ferry get around Schnoke. And some hot and
heavy racing was happening behind them. Tyler Ross would find his way around
Schnoke for the 2nd spot.
Fletcher would hit a yuke tire and would fall back before calling it a night with a broken front end. We would stay green when current URC Points leader Josh Weller would catch the wall going into turn one and go upside down. He would be uninjured. On the restart Ross would get around Ferry on the restart and complete the lap but the caution would fly immediately as Schnoke’s right nose wing panel would come off in the racing line by the flag stand.
On the restart Ross would get the lead and pull away from Ferry. Jordan Thomas was all over the back side of Ferry. He would hold him off for the moment as Ross pulled away. The night would go from bad to worse for Schnoke after losing the left front nose wing panel and he would come to a stop on the front stretch and call it a night.
On the restart. Thomas would get around Ferry. Then Brett Wanner would get a
run to get around Ferry. Ferry would send it in too hard into turn 3 and spin
out into the turn 3 wall doing some damage to the rear end of the car calling it
a night. That would trigger an open red.
Restart would come out with 8 laps to go. Wanner would try to close on Thomas on
the restart but couldn't get around him as Thomas would close in but couldn’t
make the pass. He would close in on Ross but caution would come out. An awful
night for 2nd in points Reese Nowotarski would get even worse as he would lose
his second motor of the night. The broke a camshaft in hot laps and missed the
heat race. Now with 5 laps to go the 2nd motor would expire on the 10x of
Nowotarski with 5 laps to go.
On the final restart Ross would pull away. But wasnt as good in 3 and 4 as
Jordan Thomas was but better in turns 1 and 2 and that was enough for Ross to
pull away and claim his second win of the URC season.
“Points is what Bob wants, “ Said Ross in victory lane afterwards. “
Unfortunately I'm going to miss a race soon here with other commitments. But Bob
and the entire crew worked their tails off to get this car where I needed it to
be. I didn't want Jordan (Thomas) to get around me. That kid is fast. But the
yellows fell our way at the end and got the clean air. We had Big Diamond
circled on the calendar. We always run so well here.”
But the darling of the night had to be Brett Wanners drive from 10th to 3rd.
He had a chance to have a good run at Baps go awry but Big Diamond definitely
made up for it. “I’m feeling really good after tonight.” Wanner said with the
help of his interpreter as Brett is deaf. “ I've only been in the car 4 times
this year and I'm extremely happy to get 3rd here tonight. I didn't feel like I
was strong enough. Could of used a gear change but We’ll take third place for
the night.
The United Racing Club will be back in action on Friday September 6th for the
annual trip to The Georgetown Speedway in Georgetown Delaware.

Thomas gets last lap, last corner pass for 4th Attica 410 win; Bores earns 1st late model win of the year; Weaver back in 305 victory lane
Friday, Aug. 23, 2024
By Brian Liskai
ATTICA, Ohio – Cale Thomas and Cap Henry have battled each other hard in 410 sprint car racing in North Central Ohio in 2024. Friday night, Aug. 23 at Attica Raceway Park was no different. The pair traded slide job after slide job throughout the 30-lap feature on Wilson Tire/Central Ohio Farmers Night with Thomas executing the final one in the final set of turns on the final lap to score his fourth win of the year at Attica by a mere .078 seconds over Henry.
The win is Thomas’ seventh overall victory of 2024 and the sixth career win at Attica and vaults him back into the point lead at Attica Raceway Park over Henry, who is the track’s defending Callie’s Performance Products 410 Sprint champion. The victory also pads Thomas’ lead in the All Pro Aluminum Cylinder Heads/Kistler Racing Products Attica Fremont Championship Series presented by the Baumann Auto Group over Henry who is the series’ defending champion. There’s just one race left in that series coming Sept. 7 at Fremont Speedway.
The first portion of the race was marred by numerous crashes with TJ Michael leading the first lap before Thomas took over and led until Henry took over on lap 10. Thomas regained the lead with eight laps to go only to see Henry back in front a lap later, setting up the exciting last lap pass by Thomas for the win.
“I kind of gave up on the high side when I saw Cap on the restart through the middle trying to protect and honestly it hurt me on the restart going into turn three and that’s when he threw the slide job on me. He saw me right before lapped traffic underneath him and I think I scared him into thinking I was back running through the middle like I normally do here. I’ve been watching a lot of the guys out in California so tried my best impression of them tonight. I just didn’t give up the top because that was the only way I could get a run,” said Thomas beside his Jay Kiser Racing, Spanky’s Pizza, Shelluke’s Bar and Grill, Automatic Fire Protection; Ohio Refrigeration, Ohio Heating, Engler Machine, BH 41, TMH Holdings, Berryman Racing Shocks, Keizer Wheels backed #23.
Collin Shipley lead he opening lap of the 25-lap Dirt Nerds Podcast Powered by Propane UMP Late Model feature before Mike Bores took over. With 10 laps to go Bores was challenged by Kyle Moore who came into the night having won the last four features at Attica. Moore took the lead on lap 17 but during a caution retired to the pits. Bores lead the rest of the way to score his first win of 2024, the eighth late model victory of his career at Attica over Nathon Loney, Todd Brennan, Ryan Markham and Devin Shiels.
“The old 15B is back. All the guys at Black Diamond Chassis, Keith and Brendon at After Burner Performance…we went through a whole week with my chassis guy and it paid off said Bores of his Roeder’s Racing Service; Stein Honey, UUI; Burns Electric; Truck Worx of Ohio, Cam-Tech, After Burner Performance backed machine.
It’s been a very frustrating season for Paul Weaver. Attica’s six time Fremont Fence 305 Sprint track champion was winless at the track where he had accumulated 73 career total wins to lead all drivers in the history of the track. But it all came together for the Fremont, Ohio driver Friday. After Blayne Keckler lead the first nine laps and Dustin Stroup laps 10-14, Weaver took over and drove away for his first victory of the year at Attica. It’s his 71st career 305 sprint victory and 74th including his 410 wins at the track.
“It’s been frustrating trying to figure out this new clay here. It’s the same stuff as Fremont on Attica is a lot faster. Last time I was here this car got bent and Beaber fixed it and I bought a few new parts and changed up a little bit and Daniel decided to do a lot different stuff than we normally did. Tonight I could run anywhere on the track,” said Weaver beside his Steve Brown’s B&B Drain Service, Hampshire Racing Engines, M&L Excavating, Seagate Sandblasting backed #1W.
Attica Raceway Park will be back in action for the Attica Ambush, Friday and Saturday, Aug. 30 and 31. The FAST On Dirt Series 410 sprints will be in action Friday in a $6,000-to-win/$500 to start affair with the UMP Late Models going for $2,000 to win. On Saturday the 410 sprints will battle for $6,000 to win/$500 to start and the 305 sprints will go for $1,200 to win. There’s free camping for the fans all weekend.

WELCOME TO THE CLUB: TROMBLEY’S 14TH CAREER WIN TIES HIM FOR FIRST ON ALL-TIME WIN LIST
Race Report By: Marty Czekala | August 24, 2024 |
BREWERTON, N.Y. – Jeff Trombley worked hard for over two years to join an elite group in CRSA.
This season, he has had many opportunities to taste victory, but engine issues soured him at Afton and Fonda, and he fell short of a win.
Not tonight, though.
The driver of the No. 3A survived a myriad late-race restarts at Brewerton Speedway and led from flag to flag to score his 14th career win, tying him with Danny Varin, Scott Goodrich, and Josh Pieniazek for first on the all-time win list.
"Anytime you win, it's a good feeling," said Trombley in victory lane. "It’s been a frustrating year. The guys have been giving me a great car all year. We’ve been running good, just got to finish.”
Trombley started outside pole next to Timmy Lotz for Brewerton's inaugural CRSA 25-lap feature. The former would run away with the early lead while Lotz, Tomy Moreau and Billy VanInwegen would battle for second.
"Billy V" moved up to second on lap 14, decreasing Trombley's lead from 2.4s to 1.8s before the race's first yellow a lap later for iFreeze B-Main winner Tyler Emmons off the pace.
In the three-lap average before the yellow flew, VanInwegen’s No. 56V averaged 15.282s to 15.795s from Trombley.
On the next two restarts in the 10-lap dash, Trombley held serve with VanInwegen on his tail. Whenever the No. 3A took the white flag or even the checkered flag, a problem behind him would happen, whether it was Lance Dusett’s flip on the back straight or Dalton Herrick's spin in turn two.
Ultimately, Trombley ran away with the better car in the short run to score his first win of 2024 and the illustrious 14th career win he'd been waiting for.
“I knew the car was good on the short run, I was really confident,” said Trombley. “I knew Billy was behind me, so I knew where he would try to keep getting me."
Billy VanInwegen records his third runner-up finish of the season after a pair of seconds at Thunder Mountain. If the race went caution-free, could the story be “Billy V” in victory lane?
“I had the lead in my sights,” said VanInwegen. “The last thing I wanted to see was that yellow. I think we were two car lengths back. In clean air, we had nothing for him. I tried a couple different things [in the final laps], just couldn’t find anything to make the magic happen.”
While that was the top two, the battle for third heated up at the end. While Tyler Graves and Tomy Moreau were racing hard, they were stunned by Zach Sobotka, who made his third career CRSA start in the No. 10VC typically driven by Vince Chicklets. Sobotka ripped the top side of his Friday night home in Sportsman to steal the bottom step of the podium.
“I was rolling in the bottom in the beginning,” said Sobotka, the 2021 Super DIRT Week champion in Sportsman. “Everyone was bottled up on the bottom, so I went to the top and could hold it wide-open. I knew it was fast as I was passing cars. It’s hard to get used to not knowing how a sprint car is supposed to drive, but must’ve been fast.”
Sobotka was awarded the Maguire Family of Dealerships Magnificent Move of the Race with his move.
With his fifth-place finish, Tomy Moreau increases his trend of top fives to five straight and extends his points lead to 30 on Kyle Pierce. Dalton Herrick remains third but falls 44 points behind the No. 22.
Dillon Paddock received the Powdertech Powdercoating Hard Charger of the Race, gaining 14 spots to finish 10th after starting 24th.
34 drivers checked in tonight for the inaugural race. Thanks to iFreeze Storage and Distribution Center and Westward Painting Company, drivers who didn't make it to the feature received more money than usual.
"The Future Stars of Sprint Cars" take Labor Day Weekend off and return Sept. 7 at Weedsport Speedway as part of Cavalcade Weekend in round three of the I-90 Pit Stop Challenge. Fans unable to make it can tune in on DIRTVision.

Adjustments propel Foos to 305 Fair Race win at Fremont
By Brian Liskai
FREMONT, Ohio – An open red gave DJ Foos and his crew the opportunity they needed to fine tune on his Merrill-owned 305 sprint car. The changes made to the set-up propelled Foos to the lead with just 10 laps to go as he cruised to the $2,500 win at Fremont Speedway Presented by Gill Construction on Fremont Fence Night to open the Sandusky County Fair.
“That was pretty hairy. A lot of action tonight. The best car probably didn’t win tonight but man, Kevin Osmolski, on that red, he put the super tune on it. It was like a brand new race car…it felt so good. I’m just so happy for the Merrill family, Matt and Michelle and their son Madden. I get the opportunity to drive Madden’s car…his dad built him a really good race car. I’m really excited to finally getting a win. We’ve been getting closer and closer but just couldn’t seal the deal. Hopefully this is a step in the right direction,” said Foos beside his Kash Kow Motorsports, Snyder’s Floor Covering, Adkinson Farms, Wagner Seed, NAPA of Bryan, Foster Auto Body, Handy Grafix, Berryman Racing Shocks, Kistler Race Products backed #39M.
Zeth Sabo jumped to the early lead in the Fremont Federal Credit Union 305 Sprint 30-lap feature with Bryan Sebetto, Kasey Jedrzejek, Dustin Stroup and Foos in tow. Lead until caution on lap 14. Once the race resumed Sebetto executed a slider for the lead at the half-way point. Sabo tried to return the favor in turns one and two and contact was made sending Sabo and Sebetto flipping and handing the lead to Stroup.
A crash on lap 20 involving four cars brought out about an open red. On the restart Foos pounced, driving into the lead over Stroup, Craig Mintz, Jedrzejek and John Ivy. Foos pulled away the final five laps for the win over Mintz, Stroup, Jedrzejek and Ivy.
Fremont Speedway will be back in action Saturday, Sept. 7 with the championship night for the All Pro Aluminum Cylinder Heads/Kistler Racing Products Attica Fremont Championship Series Presented by the Baumann Auto Group for the 410 sprints and the NAPA of Bryan AFCS presented by Jason Dietsch Trailer Sales for the 305 Sprints. The Burmeister Trophy Dirt Trucks will also be in action.

Heath Returns to 410 Racing with Skagit Speedway Sweep
8/17/24
By Kaleb Hart
Alger, WA - It’s been over a decade since Colton Heath was a full time competitor in the Karmart 410 Sprint division at Skagit Speedway. On Saturday night, Heath returned to the class and served notice that his run as a fill in driver for Dynes Racing will be memorable as he made a clean sweep of the night and took home a $5,000 pay day for his efforts.
With their normal driver, Justin Youngquist, nursing injuries sustained at the Summer Nationals, Dynes Racing tapped Heath to fill in for 410 competition for the rest of 2024. On Saturday night, the decision looked brilliant as Colton rolled to quick time, won his heat from fourth and led every lap of the main event to complete the sweep in the Karmart 410 Sprint Cars. Jason Solwold made late gains with Heath in traffic, but at the checkered flag it was Colton ahead of Jason and Robbie Price to fill out the podium. Price was the other heat race winner on the night.
360 Sprints were also on the card and a total of eight drivers did double duty on the night. When the dust settled on the 360 feature, it was Levi Klatt taking the victory after leading all thirty laps from the pole position. Dominic Scelzi moved his way to second but ran out of time to run down Klatt, who enjoyed his first 360 win at Skagit Speedway. Robbie Price ran third. Levi Hillier set fast time, while Levi Kuntz, Sclezi and Price won the heat races.
Mike Guffey was also a first time feature winner on the night, as he led every lap of the Hornet main event. Guffey went unchallenged in driving away from Howard Vos and Wyatt Covert for his first career win. Brian Michelson set fast time, while heat race wins went to Guffey and Covert.

Kruz Kepner goes high for Path Valley win
08-19-2024
Sometimes you just have to stand out in the crowd.
The field for Saturday’s River Valley Builders PA Sprint Series feature at Path Valley Speedway was hugging the inside of the quarter-mile bullring, so Kruz Kepner went high, made the outside work, and earned the checkered flag for the 25-lap IMCA/RaceSaver event.
The sixth-year veteran from Kreamer worked hard to make his Goods Consstruction/Hill Top Lawn Care/S&L Kreamer Trucking #19 work near the top of the high-banked oval, but it paid off, enabling him to slip past rookie Kyle Hart of Thompsontown on lap 15. Hart was looking for his first PASS win in only his ninth start, but he couldn’t get his car through lapped traffic at the bottom.
Nor, for that matter, could anyone else, except the winner, who took the checkered flag by 1.363 seconds.
Drew Young of Beaver Springs passed Hart on the last lap to take second place, with Hart finishing a career-best third.
Jarrett Cavalet of Hollidaysburg came from ninth starting position to finish fourth, with Austin Greenland of MIroy posting a PASS career-best fifth.
Timmy Bittner, Ian Cumens, Zach Rhodes (fastest in hot laps), Ken Duke Jr., and Kenny Heffner completed the top ten.
For Duke, the finish extended his streak of having top-tens in all but one of his 15 PASS starts this year, and he had to come from 15th starting position to do that. The performance earned him the W.C. Eshenaur & Son Hard Charger Award.
Cavalet had the second-best charge, advancing five spots, and he had to do that because he had the worst redraw for a feature starting position. That, however, had a silver lining, because the poor pill draw won him a new tire from Hoosier Tire Mid Atlantic.
The night’s other lemonade-from-lemons award went to veteran Mike Alleman, who took home a case of oil from VP Racing Fuels for the worst pill draw for heat race starting positions.
The feature ran non-stop, taking less than five-and-a-half minutes to complete, which led to intense battling in the field. It also maintained a streak of clean action for the night: PASS racing only required one yellow flag, brought out when Paul Moyer spun the second heat race, collecting Jeff Paulson and Owen Dimm. All resumed racing, and every car among the 23 on hand completed its heat still running.
In the feature, Dimm fell to the rear before the start, indicating mechanical problems, and he pulled off after one lap. John Walp, who dropped out two-thirds of the way through the feature, was the only other non-finisher.
Cavalet, Bittner, and Hunter McFadden won the heat races.
The race was only the second completed at Path Valley this year for the River Valley Builders PASS tour, with two rainouts, and the weather was threatening Saturday. The IMCA/RaceSaver teams have run at “the little track with the big action” more than anywhere else in their 26-year history, and they return two more times in 2024, on September 21 and October 19.
Next weekend, the River Valley Builders PASS racers are at BAPS Motor Speedway on Saturday night.
PASS is dedicated to the heritage of RaceSaver with stable and enforceable rules, consistent rules application and fair purse distribution paying 24th place one half of first place.

VanInwegen Pockets $5,000 for Cole Cup Victory at Utica Rome
By Curtis Berleue (Vernon, NY) | After breaking into victory lane a few weeks ago, Billy VanInwegen became a repeat winner in 2024 with the Empire Super Sprints on Saturday. Earning $5,000 for his victory, VanInwegen joined a short list of drivers who have gone to victory lane in the Cole Cup.
As Matt Farnham and Danny Varin brough the field to the initial green flag, it was Farnham who took the early advantage down the backstretch. His lead was short lived, however, as Varin slid him going into turn 3 and would be officially credited with the lap.
A caution on lap two slowed the field, and on the ensuing restart Farnham got took the lead using the high side to his advantage. Unfortunately for Farnham, however, the caution flew again before a lap was completed undoing his efforts yet again.
By virtue of a caution directly following a restart, the field lined up single file for the restart, and this time Varin was able to open up a lead over Farnham. Behind the lead duo, Jonathan Preston followed comfortably in third, with Jordan Thomas and Billy VanInwegen battling for the fourth position.
By lap 12, VanInwegen had gotten by Thomas for fourth. Using a double file restart to his advantage, he then moved past both Preston and Farnham just one lap later to take second.
Behind Varin and VanInwegen, Davie Franek had been quietly working his way through the field from his 9th starting position. With 6 laps to go, Franek moved into a podium position, getting by Farnham for third.
Misfortune struck on lap 19 for Varin, as he ran out of fuel as the red flag came out for Joe Kata who had flipped in turns one and two. As such, each driver moved up one position as he relinquished the lead, making VanInwegen the leader with Franek in second and Farnham in third.
With three laps to go Jordan Poirier slid Farnham for third, but the leaders were too far gone. As the field crossed the checkered, it was VanInwegen picking up the win.
“There was nothing comfortable about that last lap,” said VanInwegen in victory lane. “I ran out of fuel with about a lap or a lap and a quarter to go, it was spitting and sputtering.”
“We had a really good car from the drop of the green, any time we could make up a little ground it seemed like the yellow would come out and put us back. A lot of guys ran out of fuel, we did too, we just had enough to get to the checkered.”
Crossing the line second was Davie Franek, coming all the way from the 6th row.
“Our car was pretty decent, it’s just tough starting 11th,” said Franek. “You battle, battle, battle and by the time you get to the good guys up front your stuffs just about wore out.”
“We could have been a little better at the beginning of the race, we always struggle with that. We were neck and neck on that restart, but he (VanInwegen) did what he had to do, and those guys work hard at it so congratulations to them.”
Rounding out the Ashley Lynn Winery podium was Jordan Poirier.
“It feels super good to finish third,” said Poirier. “At the beginning of the feature I didn’t expect to be moving forward, but we were really good on restarts. I was good on the bottom, decent on the top and I could maneuver my car. Fourteenth to third, I can’t complain about that.”
25 cars signed in for the 2024 version of the Cole Cup, and as such the field was split into three timed hot lap sessions. Picking up Rifenburg Contracting fast time awards were Billy VanInwegen, Jordan Thomas and Sammy Reakes IV. E&V Energy heat wins went to Logan Crisafulli, Robbie Stillwaggon and Davie Franek, while the Cobra Coaches dash was won by Shawn Donath.
The next scheduled event for the Empire Super Sprints is this coming Friday August 23rd at the Autodrome Granby in Granby, Quebec, followed by Autodrome Drummond in Drummondville, Quebec on Saturday August 24.

Ayrton Gennetten Retains Victory with POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprints at Missouri State Fair Speedway
Sedalia, MO. (8/18/24) Ayrton Gennetten would defend his throne as the
Missouri State Fair Champion with the POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprint in the
Show-Me-State Throwdown Finale presented by Start2Finish TV to notch his sixth
career league victory and pocket the $5K-payday in an outstanding feature event
at the historic half mile of Sedalia.
Flying onto the smooth surface with twenty talented entrants of the POWRi
410’s would see Brian Brown set a quick qualifying time of 17.130-second lap
with Gunner Ramey and Kameron Key each earning heat racing victories.
Captivating the crowd on the initial green flag start with high-point
qualifier Blake Hahn and Ayrton Gennetten lined up in the front row as Blake
Hahn would gain the lead on the opening lap with Brian Brown, Ayrton Gennetten,
Kameron Key, and Gunner Ramey all raced within the top five.
Holding the lead just past the half way point would find Blake Hahn battling
Brian Brown for the top position with Brian Brown able to capitalize for the
lead on lap twelve with Ayrton Gennetten following suite into the runner up
placement.
Leading the next five revolutions, Brian Brown would feel the presence of defending league champion Ayrton Gennetten right behind him as the laps began to wain in front of the packed capacity crowd.
Overtaking the top spot with four laps remaining, Ayrton Gennetten would not
be denied in earning his third seasonal POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprint victory in an
action-packed main event with Brian Brown hustling into the runner-up position
late.
“It was so tough on that first start and I could have timed it better but
then again I wouldn’t have been in the position needed to win tonight,” said
Ayrton Gennetten in the Sedalia Missouri victory lane ceremony celebrations.
Adding, “Brian gave me a lane off of four and I took it, I rode the wheelie off
of four but I wasn’t lifting”.
Challenging closely behind would find leader of eleven laps Blake Hahn
placing on the final podium placement from the starting pole on the initial
green flag. Gunner Ramey would be among the frontrunners all feature to fourth
as Kameron Key would round out the top-five finishers for the POWRi 410 Outlaw
Sprints in the 2024 Missouri State Fair Finale event at Missouri State Fair
Speedway.

Paul Nienhiser Picks Off Peoria with Sprint Invaders!
by Bill Wright
Peoria, IL, August 17, 2024 – Paul Nienhiser won for the second year in a row at Peoria Speedway Saturday night with the Mohrfeld Solar Sprint Invaders. The Chapin, Illinois driver earned $2,000 for his twentieth career win with the series aboard the Scott Bonar #50. Nienhiser also cemented his point lead with the Sprint Invaders, after a Friday night that saw him get upside down at 34 Raceway in West Burlington, Iowa.
As the field assembled for the 25-lap feature, rain began to fall. The cars stayed on the track for several laps, ironing in the surface. As a result, the race was shortened to 20 laps. The track was dry in the heats and heading into the feature, so the rains changed the track considerably, at least for the first several laps.
It took four tries to get the racing underway. Riley Scott spun on the first try, Tyler Shoemaker stopped with throttle issues on the second, and Ryan Bunton tipped over on the third, collecting Colton Fisher and Preston Perlmutter. The latter two restarted at the tail, though Perlmutter had severe wing damage.
Cody Wehrle, who had won the Dash, led early from the pole once things went green for good, ahead of Nienhiser, Chase Richards, Terry McCarl and Austin Archdale. Nienhiser sized the leader up and took the point on lap four before Tyler Lee slowed to bring out the last caution of the race.
Nienhiser led Wehrle, Richards, McCarl and Archdale back to green. Fisher, who restarted at the tail after his incident entered the top five by lap eight. Nienhiser was into lapped cars by lap 11. McCarl overtook Richards for the third spot on lap 13, and Fisher gained fourth late in the going.
Up front, Nienhiser separated himself from the pack and blazed his way to the win. Wehrle was second, ahead of McCarl, Fisher and Chase Richards. Archdale, Blaine Jamison, McCain Richards, Tanner Gebhardt and Scott rounded out the top ten. Chase Richards and Perlmutter won heats, and Wehrle claimed the Dash.
“We really weren’t planning on (the rain) to start the feature,” said Nienhiser in Victory Lane. “We’d been working on stuff since hot laps. Scott made some adjustments that we thought were going to help us in the slick. Honestly, it may have helped us in the tacky. I know some guys were probably too tight. Bunton got up on the bicycle and got torn up. We had a little bit of luck. This was a good way to end the weekend.”
“It’s good to start on a track that was conducive to racing early,” said Wehrle. “We can’t seem to draw worth a diddle, and we’ve struggled to make the Dash. We have a car that races well. It’s so frustrating losing to Paul, but I don’t know that there’s anyone else that I’d rather lose to than Paul and Scott and all the wisdom they have. I know they had a rough Friday and a rough month, so happy for them, and bummed for our guys.”
“I thought the rain might be tough,” said McCarl. “We tightened up a lot after the heat. We were way too loose in the heat race. I was happy to get through the first two or three skirmishes, and I felt maneuverable. It actually slicked off pretty quick and we got going. The car really came to me towards the end, and we were able to get to third and reel in second a little bit. All in all, we had a good night. I think we won the (car owner point fund sponsored by Avis and Budget Car Rental of Burlington) for the two nights for Jimmy (Davies), so that was good too.”

Xavier Doney Excels with POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprint Victory at Lucas Oil Speedway
Wheatland, MO. (8/17/24) Xavier Doney would nearly perfect the night with the
POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprint in the Summer Thunder presented by Start2Finish TV to
notch his inaugural league victory and pocket the $5K payday in an outstanding
feature event at Lucas Oil Speedway.
Flying onto the smooth surface with twenty-two talented entrants of the POWRi
410’s would see Xavier Doney set a quick qualifying time of 13.638-second lap
with Noah Gass, Gunner Ramey, and Miles Paulus each earning heat racing
victories.
Captivating the crowd on the initial green flag start with high-point
qualifier Xavier Doney and Gunner Ramey lined up in the front row as Xavier
Doney would gain the lead on the opening lap with Gunner Ramey, Blake Hahn, Kyle
Bellm, and Ayrton Gennetten all raced within the top five.
Holding steady up front while stretching a commanding two-second lead, Xavier
Doney would appear to be a class by himself for most of the night as great
battling action would take place behind the front-running Doney with Blake Hahn
and Kyle Bellm attempting to keep pace as the laps ticked away rapidly.
Xavier Doney would not be denied in earning his first career POWRi 410 Outlaw
Sprint victory in an action-packed thirty lap main event after leading every
step of the way with Ayrton Gennetten hustling into the runner-up position late.
“The top was about as thin as it gets with it being pretty treacherous,” said
Xavier Doney in the Wheatland Missouri victory lane ceremony celebrations.
Adding, “I was fortunate to be in clean air and recover pretty easy after
overcooking it a couple of times.”.
Challenging closely behind would find Blake Hahn placing on the final podium
placement as Kyle Bellm would be among the frontrunners all feature to fourth as
Miles Paulus would round out the top-five finishers for the POWRi 410 Outlaw
Sprints in the Summer Thunder event at Lucas Oil Speedway.

Schatz and Thram Capture FENDT Jackson Nationals Championships at Jackson Motorplex
Inside Line Promotions - JACKSON, Minn. (Aug. 17, 2024) - Donny Schatz and Christopher Thram are FENDT Jackson Nationals champions after both drivers earned the coveted win on Saturday during the 46 th edition of the marquee event at Jackson Motorplex.
Schatz led the distance of the 35-lap World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series main event to record the $25,000 top prize. It marked his first FENDT Jackson Nationals title since 2018 and his fourth career World of Outlaws triumph at the track.
"All I can say is if you're a fan it's a good time to be alive," he said. "It makes me damn proud to race with guys like Sheldon (Haudenschild) and Carson (Macedo). Not only are they awesome, but they make the old guys like me better. I'm happy to steal one from them tonight."
Although Schatz led each lap, a close call came on Lap 12 when two drivers collided directly in front of him in turns one and two. As the drivers spun to a stop, Schatz split them to dodge the crash and keep the top spot. He was strong in traffic and held more than a one-second lead entering the last lap.
Haudenschild, who passed David Gravel for the runner-up position on Lap 28, pounded the cushion and rapidly closed on Schatz as the checkered flag was waved. He made up more than one and a half seconds in the final three laps, finishing second by only 0.175 seconds.
"Donny did a hell of a job," he said. "He did it the easy way and I was definitely doing it the sketchy way. It's fun racing Donny. He's the best at it. I'm happy with our speed this weekend and looking forward to next."
Gravel drove to a third-place outing for the second straight night to maintain the lead in the World of Outlaws championship standings.
"The top in (turns) one and two was pretty good early on," he said. "I felt I was right there on (Schatz's) right rear, but just not able to get around him. In the middle of that race I struggled in (turns) one and two where I felt good. I wish I could get three or four laps back. I think we were really, really close. I think the top three could have gone any way there. The track didn't go the way I expected it. The grip went away a lot faster than I thought. A top three here this weekend is way better than last year."
Aaron Reutzel was the fourth-place finisher and Emerson Axsom placed fifth.
Landon Crawley set quick time during qualifying before Gravel, Reutzel, Logan Schuchart and Haudenschild produced heat race wins. Schatz won the King of the Hill and Crawley was the Last Chance Showdown winner.
Thram led the final two thirds of the 25-lap, $5,000-to-win Gunderson Racing Inc. Midwest Sprint Touring Series 360 Sprint Cars A Main.
"This is really cool," he said. "It's not a 410 championship, but 360 championships are just as much competition. It's great to get a win here."
Blaine Stegenga held the top spot for the first nine laps before Thram, who advanced from fourth to second place in turns one and two during the opening lap, maneuvered into the lead two laps after traffic arrived. He quickly built a nearly two-second lead and held that advantage when a caution came out on Lap 22. Thram once again powered to a sizeable lead following the restart as he won by 1.728 seconds.
"I was kind of guessing which way Sam and Blaine would go," he said of the start. "They left the top open. Blaine got hung up by a couple of lapped cars there and I think that kind of sealed the deal. I'm glad I could get through it well and get the win."
Reutzel, who drew the pole position during the feature redraw and took a challenge that would have provided him a $3,000 bonus if he could win the race from eighth, drove into fourth place by the midpoint of the feature. He took third on Lap 15 and second following the late-race restart.
Stegenga rounded out the podium for his best result of the season at Jackson Motorplex.
"I tried to run the bottom," he said. "I started getting hung up by lappers. I got up there and a little bit in the dirty air. I saw Thram on my inside and I thought, 'Oh boy, here we go.' It feels good to be up front."
Sam Henderson finished fourth and Kaleb Johnson posted a fifth-place result.
The heat races were won by Scott Winters and Brant O'Banion.

Sabo earns 1st 410 win of the year at Attica; Moore claims 4th straight late model victory; Sebetto gets third 305 win
Friday, Aug. 16, 2024
By Brian Liskai
ATTICA, Ohio – Zeth Sabo led wire to wire but had to withstand a big challenge from defending track champion Cap Henry late in the race to score his first 410 sprint win of the season at Attica Raceway Park Friday, Aug. 16 on F.E. Kroka & Associates/Five Star Maintenance Night.
After a crash involving Tyler Street and Bryce Lucius (both were not injured) on the opening lap, the Callies Performance Products 410 Sprint 30-lap feature went caution free. Sabo, who started on the pole jumped into the lead and quickly built a sizeable advantage until hitting heavy lapped traffic just past the half-way point. Henry, who started seventh worked his way to second in the traffic and closed to within a half a second of Sabo with just six laps to go. Once clear of traffic, Sabo powered away for his second career Attica win over Henry, DJ Foos, Skylar Gee and Creed Kemenah.
“The car got better the harder I drove it. I saw Cap poke his nose under me there late and I knew I had to get going. Thanks to Rich and Shelly Farmer for giving me this opportunity and Steven and all the guys who work on this thing,” said Sabo beside his NAPA of Fremont, Level Utilities, Limo Scene Limo Service, Linder’s Speed Equipment, Kiser Sound backed #29.
Henry’s second place finish brings him closer to Cale Thomas in the battle for the All Pro Aluminum Cylinder Heads/Kistler Racing Products Attica Fremont Championship Series Presented by the Baumann Auto Group title.
You didn’t want to be leading and getting into lapped traffic in the Whistle Stop Presents the Dirt Nerds Podcast Powered by Propane UMP Late Model feature. Todd Brennann led the first 15 laps of the 25 lap affair before getting into a lapped car and spinning. Doug Drown lead laps 16-20 before being collected when a lapped car spun in front of him. Ryan Markham led lap 21 before Mansfield, Ohio’s Kyle Moore drove into the lead on lap 22 and drove to his fourth straight win at Attica.
Moore’s fifth win of the season at Attica is also his 10th consecutive victory overall in 2024 when coupled with other tracks. Markham, Collin Shipley, Mike Bores and Casey Noonan would round out the top five.
“WOW…this is amazing. I can’t believe this. My crew, Tye Tworg for giving me this fast machine…just all the great people on this thing.
I’ve waited forever to win here and we just can’t stop winning now. I love this place. Honestly I was just riding there and I saw Brennan get tangled up and then Drown and Markham and I was like this is just meant to be. I probably wouldn’t have won unless they wrecked. I’m not going to sugar coat it…we definitely had some luck tonight,” said Moore beside his Kepling Flooring, Tye Tworg Longhorn, Joyride Transportation, Smitley Towing, Short Stop, Malcuit Race Engines, Wilson Realty agent Robin Jakubick, RL Bond Septic, Hepthorn Golf Cart Sales, House of Spud, K&B Septic Service, Coffman Composites, Team Midwest Paint, Platinum Design backed #1*.
Last season’s rookie of the year Blayne Keckler jumped into the early lead of the Fremont Fence 305 Sprint A-main before Bryan Sebetto took the point on lap seven. Sebetto sliced through traffic as ninth starter Dustin Stroup slie into second with just six laps to go. The only caution of the 25-lap race came after the white flag, setting up a one-lap shoot-out for the win. Sebetto hit his marks perfectly to score his third win of the year at Attica over Stroup, Keckler, Jimmy McGrath and Dustin Dinan.
The victory is Sebetto’s 16th career win in the 305 division at Attica, tying him with Joe Keegan for eighth on the track’s all-time win list for the 305 sprints. It is also Sebetto’s seventh overall victory of 2024.
“I was pissed when that caution came out but it’s a part of racing. I knew I just had to hit my marks for one more lap and I knew I had a clear track and wouldn’t have to battle with anyone. I was able to move around in lapped traffic early and I knew I could pretty much run where ever I wanted. It’s a testament to how good this car is,” said Sebetto beside his : Sandusky Bay Remodeling, JLH General Contractor, Sandusky Bay RV Rentals, KH Suspension, Commercial Glazing Systems, Overwatch Precision, RCF Chassis, Level Performance, Race Ready Apparrel, NAPA of Fremont, Clay Keim, Depot Pizza, CA Kustoms backed #01.
Stroup’s second place finish will also pull him closer to Jamie Miller in the battle for the NAPA of Bryan Attica Fremont Championship Series Presented by Jason Dietsch Trailer Sales title.
Attica Raceway Park will be back in action Friday, Aug. 23 with the AFCS 410 and 305 sprints and UMP Late Models in action.

CRAUN TAKES ADVANTAGE OF WARNER ISSUE; WINS FIRST CRSA RACE
Race Report By: Marty Czekala – August 17, 2024
DUNDEE, N.Y. – Dan Craun came into the weekend not having a CRSA podium in 2 1/2 years.
Friday night, his racing career changed forever.
Craun took advantage of a Blake Warner mishap with 10 laps to go to score his first career CRSA win in the first race of the Dandy Triple Play. With the win, the driver of the No. 18c becomes the 81st different winner in CRSA history and the fourth first-time winner this season.
“We’ve got a heat race win this year and couldn’t get it done at the end of the night,” said Craun. “This is awesome.”
Warner dominated this race, leading the opening 15 laps, until a brake line issue on the left front, while under caution, ended his night. The No. 21B had up to a 4.5-second lead, easily making his way through lapped traffic.
“There was so much going through my head,” Craun said. “I feel bad for him, but thank you.”
Craun and Warner made up the front row, with Warner immediately clearing Craun in the opening four laps. Craun would keep the gap close on Warner before the race’s first yellow on lap five for Sydney Weatherbee and Vince Chicklets around in turn two.
On the restart, Warner held serve while Dalton Herrick started challenging Craun for second. This would allow Warner to run away with a massive lead in lapped traffic. The run would end on lap 16 when Bob Hamm Jr. spun in turn three.
As the field was pacing under caution, Warner, the leader, came to a sudden stop on the track. Reports came in that a brake line blew out the left front, ending his night.
This is the second time this season Warner has suffered heartbreak while leading. The first was Fonda July 27, when he flipped in turn four and walked away unscathed.
Craun restarted and hung on to the lead as the leader. As the leader approached lapped traffic, Herrick stayed behind while Kyle Pierce and Tyler Graves who were racing for third, hoping the top two would make a mistake.
On the final lap, Herrick showed his nose underneath in turn two, but Craun had a much better exit to clear the No. 29 and not look back to score his first career win by a half second.
"Sometimes I wish we had rearview mirrors, but unfortunately, we don't," joked Craun. “Every time we come up on lapped traffic this is always gonna be a factor. We’re gonna have a bunch of Miller Lites.”
Craun’s career-best finish beats out a second he scored at Land of Legends Raceway Sept. 7, 2019.
A runner-up finish for Herrick is his best this season, beating a pair of thirds at Afton and Fonda.
“I needed to go to the bottom a little sooner at the end,” said Herrick. “We were starting to roll and show Craun the nose. Didn’t have enough laps to perfect it. Lapped traffic would’ve made It interesting.”
After winning last weekend at Thunder Mountain, Kyle Pierce followed up his win with a third-place finish after starting 12th. Back-to-back podiums for “The Flyin' School Teacher" allow Pierce to unofficially close in on Tomy Moreau’s points lead at 23.
“Once we started rolling the bottom, we were trying to gain momentum,” Pierce said. “I was gaining monster runs. If you told me we’d go 12th to third, I wouldn't believe these good runs. We’ll take it.”
Timmy Lotz was the Powdertech Powdercoating Hard Charger of the Race, gaining 18 spots to finish sixth after starting 24th.
Ed Kelley received the Maguire Family of Dealerships Magnificent Move of the Race.
Each podium member received a gift card to Dandy.
CRSA is back Saturday for the second round of the Dandy Triple Play at Woodhull Raceway.

Macedo and Bosma Produce FENDT Jackson Nationals Victories at Jackson Motorplex
Inside Line Promotions - JACKSON, Minn. (Aug. 16, 2024) - Carson Macedo and Brandon Bosma were victorious on Friday night at Jackson Motorplex, which hosted Night 2 of the 46 th annual FENDT Jackson Nationals.
The front row of the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series main event consisted of the last four FENDT Jackson Nationals champions with Logan Schuchart - the 2020 and 2021 event winner - on the pole and the two-time defending champion Macedo on the outside.
Macedo quickly powered into the top spot at the start and led the distance of the 30-lap feature, which was only slowed one time for a caution with 10 laps remaining.
Traffic ramped up the excitement of the race that featured a myriad of slide jobs and in the waning laps Sheldon Haudenschild, who hustled from fourth to second place on the late restart, closed to within a couple of car lengths of Macedo. However, Macedo was able to pick through traffic efficiently to win by 0.402 seconds.
"I was able to get a really good start to the feature, get by Logan and take command of the feature," he said. "I could feel that my pace was slowing down as we got to traffic. I got held up big time off (turn) four one time by a lapper.
"Wins are what keeps everybody's spirits up. We haven't done as much this year as we have in the past. We run in the top five often, but we just haven't been winning enough. Hopefully we can double up tomorrow and get another Jackson Nationals under our belt."
Macedo has won three of the last five World of Outlaws A Mains at Jackson Motorplex. The performance on Friday marked his fourth career series triumph at the track.
Haudenschild's runner-up result was his 17 th top five of the season with the World of Outlaws.
"I had a good restart there," he said. "I had a lane open, went around them. I felt I was pacing the No. 41 nice there. I just didn't capitalize in traffic."
David Gravel captured a third-place finish to increase his lead in the World of Outlaws championship standings.
"I thought we had a really good race car," he said. "The track was slightly top dominant, but the lapped traffic made it exciting. I'm really, really happy with the car. It's been fun to drive the car this year and I'm looking forward to tomorrow for sure."
Aaron Reutzel was fourth and Schuchart rounded out the top five.
Gravel set quick time during qualifying before the heat races were won by Dusty Zomer, Macedo, Haudenschild and Bill Balog. Schuchart drove to the dash victory and Kelby Watt was the Last Chance Showdown winner.
Bosma garnered a FENDT Jackson Nationals title by leading the final 23 laps of the $2,500-to-win Wyffels Hybrids RaceSaver Sprint Car Series presented by Heser Auto & Detailing main event.
"It's pretty awesome," he said. "This means a lot. This is the biggest win in my career. Knowing everybody who's won this race and to put my name in the history books is pretty awesome."
The feature got off to a rough start with three cautions and a red flag before three laps were completed. John Lambertz led the first two laps before Bosma drove around him exiting turn two following a restart. He held off a mid-race charge from 10th-starting Jacob Peterson and a late rally from Lee Goos Jr. to win by 0.627 seconds.
Monty Ferriera, who started 13th, found something in the middle of the track in the second half of the race to advance for a third-place result. Matt Johnson finished fourth and Peterson was fifth.
Logan Moore and Mike Stien were the B Main winners.
The FENDT Jackson Nationals finale is Saturday with a $25,000-to-win World of Outlaws program as well as a $5,000-to-win Gunderson Racing Inc. Midwest Sprint Touring Series 360 Sprint Cars feature. The gates open at 4 p.m. with hot laps slated to start at 7 p.m.

Tasker Phillips Strikes Again in 34 Thriller!
by Bill Wright
West Burlington, IA, August 16, 2024 – Tasker Phillips won for the second time this season at 34 Raceway in West Burlington, Iowa with the Mohrfeld Solar Sprint Invaders Friday night. After the race got off to an awkward and slow first seven laps, things got thrilling down the stretch and the Pleasantville, Iowa native netted $2,000 for his win.
Corbin Gurley bicycled and got all but upside down at the first try at green in the 25-lap feature. He rejoined the field after changing a flat left rear tire. Once Green, Tanner Gebhardt shot into the early lead ahead of Josh Schneiderman, Tasker Phillips, Terry McCarl and Colton Fisher. Four laps in, Jake Glasgow flipped hard down the backstretch. Chase Richards was also involved, but make repairs in the work area and continued. Glasgow exited the car under his own power.
Paul Nienhiser entered the top five on the restart, and passed McCarl on the low side to gain fourth on lap seven. Things became disjointed at that point, when Blaine Jamison spun, bringing caution. A third starting Phillips jumped the start on the next try at green and was moved back a spot. On the next try, Alex Vande Voort got into the wall entering the pits, bringing another red. He was o.k. At the same time, Fisher went to the work area to make repairs. The third try was not a charm, as a caution was coming out for Cam Sorrels when the third running Nienhiser flipped in turn four. He was uninjured.
The last 18 laps went green. Gebhardt, who had a damaged nose wing throughout, led Schneiderman, Phillips, McCarl and Dustin Selvage back to green. Miles Paulus quickly moved into the top five. Phillips and Schneiderman battled hard for second, exchanging the spot three times.
Gebhardt, with bad nose wing and all, entered lapped traffic on the seventeenth circuit in pursuit of his first ever Sprint Invaders win. Phillips had gotten by Schneiderman and was now focused on the lead. He shot a slider on Gebhardt and took the point on lap 19. Paulus was also on the move, taking third form Schneiderman with three to go, and passing Gebhardt for second on the following lap.
Phillips led the last few laps and won over Paulus, and Schneiderman, who moved by Gebhardt late. Hard-charger Dustin Selvage was fourth and Gebhardt finished fifth. McCarl, Tyler Lee, Garrett Benson, Sawyer Phillips and Chase Richards rounded out the top ten. Fisher, Tasker Phillips and Paulus won heats, and Schneiderman won the Dash. Chase Richards claimed the B main. Tyler Graves tipped over in the B main, but was uninjured.
“I respect this track,” said Phillips in Victory Lane. “You have to respect the walls here. Schneiderman gave me room…it wasn’t a whole lot of room, but he gave me enough to work with it. I was on the edge of my seat, but I’m glad we got it done. I have to thank this team. I don’t have a whole lot of time to work on the car with the farming, and I couldn’t get it done without them.”
“To be honest, we weren’t good in the Dash,” said Paulus. “We started all over, and changed bars, and changed all kinds of stuff. My buddy Angelo from Australia is here helping me, and that’s been a huge help. He got her dialed in. We stunk the first seven laps, and at the end, we were really good. It was narrow at the beginning and once it widened up, it got pretty dang racy.”
“We’re pretty disappointed really,” said Schneiderman of his third place run after starting on the pole. “We struggled the second half of the race. With about three to go, I about clobbered Tanner, because I had no brakes left. It’s part of racing. Lapped traffic made it interesting. I wasn’t going to give (Phillips) an inch. I love racing Tasker. He did a good job and made the moves when he needed to. We were able to get by him a couple times, but I couldn’t get by Tanner to save my life.”

Martin and Goos Jr. Record FENDT Jackson Nationals Wins to Open Marquee Event at Jackson Motorplex
Inside Line Promotions - JACKSON, Minn. (Aug. 15, 2024) - Cameron Martin and Lee Goos Jr. kicked off the opening night of the 46 th annual FENDT Jackson Nationals at Jackson Motorplex by earning feature triumphs on Thursday.
Martin won a thriller of a 25-lap Gunderson Racing Inc. Midwest Sprint Touring Series 360 Sprint Cars main event, marking his first career win at the track.
Martin paced the field for the first 10 laps before Kaleb Johnson powered into the lead entering turn three on Lap 11. The drivers duked it out in thick traffic for several laps. Martin returned the favor with a slide job into turn one on Lap 18 to regain first place. He then held off late charges from Aaron Reutzel and Matt Juhl to win by 1.272 seconds.
"I just had to kind send it," Martin said. "I made that early race mistake and let Kaleb get by, but ultimately I think I had the better race car. It all worked out my way. When you're out front like that you try to think like you're hot lapping, trying to hit every mark and not slip up. Lapped traffic was very difficult tonight. It almost cost us the win, but we were able to make the most of it and get up front."
Reutzel hustled from ninth to second, using a last-lap pass to secure the runner-up result by four thousandths of a second. He was also the Hard Charger Award winner for gaining the most positions.
"It was pretty narrow to start with, but it got wide and racy," he said. "We'll come back the next two nights and see what we can do."
Juhl rounded out the podium.
"It feels good to be sitting up here," he said. "Lapped traffic didn't go my way. That's part of racing."
Skylar Prochaska placed fourth and Christopher Thram maneuvered from 12 th to fifth.
Reutzel set quick time during qualifying before Justin Jacobsma, Blaine Stegenga and Prochaska produced heat race victories.
Goos Jr. became the first repeat winner of the season at Jackson Motorplex as he garnered the Wyffels Hybrids RaceSaver Sprint Cars presented by Heser Auto & Detailing 20-lap feature triumph.
Nake Eakin led for the first eight laps before Goos Jr. rapidly closed in as traffic appeared. Eakin drifted up the track in turns one and two on Lap 9, allowing Goos Jr. to pull even down the backstretch and enter turn three on the favored bottom lane. He then slid in front of Eakin to take over the top spot. Goos Jr. led the remainder of the race and pulled away following a restart on Lap 14 to win by 2.052 seconds.
"I knew I had to have lapped traffic," he said. "Once I got out front the car was super easy to drive."
Eakin was the runner up with Brandon Bosma placing third. Matt Johnson finished fourth and Brandon Halverson ended fifth.
Goos Jr. was the quickest out of 43 entrants during qualifying. The heat races were won by Gaige Weldon, Amelia Eisenschenk, Madi Miller, Bayley Ballenger and Johnny Sullivan. Dusty Ballenger was the B Main winner.
The event welcomes the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series on Friday with the Wyffels Hybrids RaceSaver Sprint Cars presented by Heser Auto & Detailing also part of the program. The gates open at 4 p.m. with hot laps at 7 p.m.

Blair Gets Homecoming ULMS Win; Flick Sprints to Victory; Myers and Seippel Also Score
(Franklin, PA August 11, 2024): Max Blair, of nearby Centerville, was the winner of the ULMS Late Model feature on Sunday night at Tri-City Raceway Park, as the division returned to the track for the first time in three years. A.J. Flick made a late pass of Greg Wilson to steal the Krill Recycling LLC 410 Sprint Car feature win. Blaze Myers topped the 4 Your Car Connection RUSH Sprint Cars, and Josh Seippel was the Hovis Auto & Truck Supply Pro Stock winner.
Logan Zarin and Max Blair presented the thirty lap ULMS Late Model feature on the starting grid, with Blair leading the race from the start. Fourth starting Andy Boozel advanced to second in the early laps before third starting Jared Miley took the spot a few laps in. The first caution period of the race came on lap six and, on the restart, it was Blair again taking command over Miley and Zarin. Miley stayed close, within a second, before the next caution period came with eighteen laps complete. Again, Blair took control when racing resumed, with Miley unable to stay as close to the leader as he did before the caution. A final interlude with three laps remaining gave the field one last shot at the leader. But Blair resumed his lead for the remaining distance to post his second Late Model win at the track, the last coming in 2015. Since then, Blair moved on to compete at the regional and national levels in the Late Model ranks. Miley, the winner of the last Late Model race at the track in 2021, settled for second. Zarin was third over Andy Boozel and Alex Ferree. Tyler Dietz, Doug Eck, Dylan Lewis, Dave Stamm, and Greg Oakes filled the top ten. Blair and Miley were the heat winners. Blair also recorded the evening’s fastest time in qualifications, 17.73 seconds.
The twenty-five lap Krill Recycling 410 Sprint Car feature had Jim Morris and Brandon Spithaler on the front row. Spithaler led the first lap as tight racing in turn four found last week’s winner, Matt Farnham. spinning for the race’s first caution. Farnham was able to restart. A Nathen McDowell spin brought the caution out a lap later. Spithaler continued to show the way over Andy Priest and Bob Felmlee, as the yellow waved again with seven laps complete. It was still Spithaler as second running Priest had trouble on the backstretch to slow the race with twelve laps in. Spithaler now led over Felmlee, as Greg Wilson joined the lead battle. Wilson took second from Felmlee with the final caution on lap fifteen setting up an exciting ten lap run to the finish. When the green flew again, it was Spithaler now having his hands full with Wilson on the low line and seventh starting A.J. Flick on the outside lane. Wilson made an inside pass of Spithaler in turn four to take the lead on lap twenty, with Spithaler then retiring from the race. With Wilson low and Flick high and the leaders in race traffic, the battle was on for the win. Flick made the outside work off turn four to take the lead on lap twenty-two, as he held off Wilson’s challenges to win his fourth of the year and fourteenth at the track. Felmlee was third, with Farnham recovering to finish fourth. Brandon Matus was fifth, as Morris, Andy Cavanaugh, Bodey McClintock, Aaron Marano, and Nathen McDowell completed the top ten. Morris and Felmlee were the heat winners. A heat race incident involving Jeremy Weaver and Sean Rayhall severely damaged both machines, ending the evening for both teams.
Ricky Tucker, III and Arnie Kent led the 4 Your Car Connection RUSH Sprint feature to green with Kent taking the early lead. Fourth starting Blaze Myers was quickly up to challenge and, with an inside pass in turn three, he took the lead on lap two. Once in front, Myers quickly began to put distance between himself and the competition. Second was hotly contested as the green flag laps clicked by. Myers took the checkered flag 4.667 seconds ahead of his competitors. The win was his third of the season and fourth in the division. Kent prevailed over Joe Buccola in the battle for second. Last week’s winner, John Mollick, was fourth and Luke Mulichak was fifth for his best finish of the season. Mollick and Myers took the heat wins.
The fifteen lap Hovis Auto & Truck Supply Pro Stock main had Jake Whitling and Pat Fielding on the front row with Whitling leading from the start. A caution period on lap two slowed the pace, as fourth starting Josh Seippel took the lead on the restart. Late restarts on laps nine and ten gave the field additional chances to challenge, but Seippel went on to win his second feature of the year and eighth in the division, in the 300th Pro Stock race since the track reopened in 1995. Whitling matched his season’s best finish in second, 1.282 seconds behind, with Rod Laskey third. Joey Zambotti was fourth, with Russ Coyne fifth. Heat winners were Jim Fosnaught and Zambotti.
Mollick built upon his lead in the Marsh Heating & Cooling Heat Race Challenge.

Bard Sweeps 410s at Clinton County
Mill Hall, PA – Garrett Bard of Wells Tannery, PA earned his second career 410 sprint car victory on Saturday night at the Clinton County Speedway. Both feature wins occurred at Clinton County just weeks apart. Bard was the winner of the third annual Phil Walter Classic collecting the $6,300 payday, a race honoring Phil Walter the all-time 410 feature winner at the 1/3-mile oval. Devin Freise won the East Coast Legends twin feature events and Matt Weaver of Centre Hall won the 4 Cylinders.
Bard, who won his heat race qualifier stared on the pole alongside Indiana driver, Devin DeVault. Bard took the lead from the drop of the green flag, leading DeVault, defending race winner Dale Blaney of Ohio, Davie Franek of New Jersey, and Dominic Melair of Pennsylvania.
The first caution occurred on lap number 7, when Linden’s Dale Schweikart
spun in turn two. Bard held off DeVault while Dominic Melair passed Franek for
fourth and began to challenge Blaney. A lap eleven caution for Josh Beamer and
Billy Dietrich when the two tangled on the front stretch, resulting in both
drivers going to the pit area.
Following the restart, Bard and DeVault ran first and second, while Blaney
and Melair continued to battle for the third postion. A lap 15 caution for Owen
Dimm and Tylar Rutherford who tangled in turn four bunched the field up once
again. Bard again maintained the lead, with DeVault, Blaney, Melair, and Mike
Bauer now running in the top five.
Bard began to quickly catch of the tail end of the field, which would make
lapped traffic a factor. Bard tried to maneuver the lapped traffic which slowed
his pace, allowing DeVault to close the gap between the top two cars. Meanwhile,
Blaney and Melair continued battle for the third postion. On lap number 25 and
in heavy lapped traffic, Melair passed Blaney for third and made it a three-car
battle for the lead. With two laps remaining, DeVault was on the rear bumper of
Bard and threatened to take the lead. As the duo came to the white flag it was a
drag race into turns one and two. Bard exited turn two with a slight lead over
DeVault and Melair was also withing striking distance hoping the top two would
make a mistake. As they entered turns three and four, DeVault took one last
attempt to steal the win, as the exited turn four, brining the crowd to their
feet as the leaders were side by side at the line. Bard, narrowly edged out
DeVault by .086 seconds for the win. Melair was third, Blaney fourth and Michael
Bauer was fifth. Sixth through tenth were Tyler Ross, Davie Franek, Logan
Rumsey, Dan Shetler and AJ Flick. Heats were won Davie Franek, Dale Blaney,
Garrett Bard, and Devin DeVault. B-Mains were won by Derek Swartz and Dylan
Norris. 44 sprint cars were in competition.
The East Coast Legends competed in twin 15 lap main events. In the first
feature event, Colton Friese and Seth Kearchner started on the front row.
Kearchner led the first three circuits, until Coton Friese made a pass for the
lead. Lincoln Kearchner and Devin Friese started working their way toward the
front, moving into second and third positions by lap number six. In the final
laps, Devin Friese began putting pressure on his nephew, Colton and by the white
flag lap it was a family feud to the finish. Devin Friese made the pass as the
duo exited turn four and the two Kearchners of Lincoln and Seth were right there
as well, Colton spun as his uncle crossed the line to take the win. Lincoln
Kearchner was second, Sith Kearchner was fourth, and Logan Jones completed the
top five. Sixth through tenth were Vincent Wenrich, Justin Wagaman, Kelby
Friese, Darren Lucas and Dave Benner. Heats were won by Colton Friese, Seth
Kearchner, and Devin Friese.
The East Coast Legends Series inverted the top 12 finishers for the start of
their second feature event. Grady McGrew started on the outside of the front row
and took the early lead. Seth Kearchner quickly moved to the front and was
running second by lap number six. On lap number seven, the red flag came out for
the car of Benjamin Morrow, when it caught on fire going into turn number two.
Morrow was ok. Devin Friese who started 12 worked his way through the field and
was up to second by lap number nine. A lap later he passed McGrew for the lead
and led the final 6 laps to claim his second victory of the season. McGrew held
onto second followed by Seth Kearchner, Scott Houdeschell, and Colton Friese.
Sixth through tenth were Darren Lucas, Justin Wagaman, Scott Spidle, Dalton
Friese and Kelby Friese.
Kyler Stahl and Larry Beachel started on the front row of the 4 Cylinder feature event. By the completion of lap number one., Matt Weaver charged from his third starting position into the lead, as Stahl, Beachel and Coty Maines battled for the runner up position. The events only caution occurred on lap number four when Terry Karchiner stopped on the speedway. Following the restart, Weaver continued to hold the lead, as Zak Kline and Coty Maines worked their way to the front of the field. At the midway point, Weaver was leading Kline, Beachel, Maines and Blake Snyder. Maines moved into third with two laps to go. Weaver raced to the win over Kline, Maines, Beachel and Snyder. Sixth through tenth Kyler Stahl, Garrett Lucas, Jason Koch, Dalton Lucas, and Kyle Strouse. Heats were won by Maines and Weaver

PIERCE TAKES WIN IN FRONT OF STUDENTS AT THUNDER MOUNTAIN
Race Report By: Marty Czekala | Aug. 11, 2024
CENTER LISLE, N.Y. – Kyle Pierce’s day job isn’t too far from Thunder Mountain Speedway.
As a fourth grade teacher at Spencer-Van Etten Central School, under an hour away, many of his students showed up to watch him race his 305 Sprint car. They may now be good luck charms.
Pierce passed underneath Billy VanInwegen with eight laps to go to score his second win of the season at Thunder Mountain in the Joe’s Garage Southern Tier Series.
“I hope they come back with us," said Pierce in victory lane. We have a lot of family, people from school that have been coming. It's cool to pick up a win, but more special when they hear it 180 days out of the school year."
A pair of VanInwegens made up the front row: Emily VanInwegen followed by Billy VanInwegen, the latter of whom finished second last May. "Emily V" led the opening laps in the sibling rivalry, but "Billy V" grabbed the lead back on the outside through three and four.
“The Flyin' School Teacher" Pierce would move up to the runner-up spot, passing Emily VanInwegen on the top before the first yellow flew around the halfway point for Kirsten Dombrowski, spinning in turn three.
The restart saw Billy VanInwegen's No. 56v hold serve. Pierce explored options from the high to the low grooves and the leader cut off. Pierce seemed really good on the top, but when Billy VanInwegen took the top, the No. 9k switched downstairs and, on lap 18, took the lead in three and four to not look back and win.
“If you told me I was gonna do that, I wouldn't believe you," Pierce said. "I never ran the top here before; we were hoping I could poke my nose one time and get back to where I was. He’s not the guy you want behind you when it gets slick.”
The win is Pierce’s second of the Joe’s Garage Southern Tier Series and the sixth of his career, tying him for 13th on the all-time wins list.
In victory lane, Pierce dedicated this win to the late Evan Canfield, former CRSA Sprints photographer. Pierce revealed that plans were in the works to have Canfield’s EC Media logo on the wing of “The Flyin’ School Teacher’s.”
Two races at Thunder Mountain in 2024 and two runner-up finishes for Billy VanInwegen. Déjà vu to last May when he led early and then lost it later in the going.
“Real good early, horrid at the end,” said Billy VanInwegen. “Kyle ran a good race. Thanks to the VanDusen family for letting me run this thing. I need to get this thing to take off at the start. Just do our homework and find some speed.”
As for the other VanInwegen in the field, Emily VanInwegen piloted her No. 19em ride to third, her first podium finish since June 2019 at Glen Ridge when she finished second and her first top-five finish since Aug. 2022 at Afton.
“I ran the bottom all night except the feature, which is usually my safe zone," said Emily VanInwegen. “I wasn’t too sure how it was going to plan out. We gave it our best and this is where it’s at.”
Blake Warner finished sixth tonight after starting from 18th place, gaining 12 spots to make him the Powdertech Powdercoating Hard Charger of the Race.
Despite finishing in 18th, Jordan Hutton's moves throughout the race's first half awarded him the Maguire Family of Dealerships Magnificent Move of the Race. Hutton was involved in a crash in the final laps to end his night.
Up next for the CRSA Sprints is their first two-in-two of the year at Outlaw Speedway Friday and Woodhull Raceway Saturday for the first races in the Dandy Triple Play.

GAUGE GARCIA SLIDES INTO 64TH JOHNNY KEY CLASSIC VICTORY LANE AT OCEAN
SPEEDWAY
WATSONVILLE, CALIFORNIA (August 10, 2024) – Lemoore’s Gauge Garcia used an
old-school Ocean Speedway low line maneuver in turns three and four to prevail
over Bud Kaeding of San Jose and win the 64th Johnny Key Classic on Saturday
night in Watsonville. Garcia slid past Kaeding in the fourth turn on lap 29,
then led over a green-white-checkered finish for the $3,000 win.
“I have no idea man. Even a blind squirrel finds a nut every now and then. I
happened to hit (the bottom) once and I stuck with it and it was great,” Garcia
said. “It was a great night and I’m so excited to be here. This is not realistic
right now. About halfway through that race if you told me I was going to win, I
would have said you were crazy.”
Friday runner-up and 1996 Key Classic winner Kaeding led the 27 entries in
time trials. He also made a bold outside pass to win the dash race for the pole
position for the 30-lap feature.
Kaeding led the first six laps through a series of restarts with Arizona’s
Ashton Torgerson hot on his trail. Torgerson drove into the lead on lap seven in
turn one but the move was nullified by a caution flag.
Torgerson and Caeden Steele of Fresno squared off for second place with
Steele using the bottom to take the position on lap 10. The race saw six
restarts in the first 16 laps with Garcia advancing from tenth on the grid into
third by that point, using the bottom to pass Friday winner Tanner Carrick of
Lincoln.
Hanford’s DJ Netto spun on the front stretch out of a top-ten position with
six laps to go for a caution flag. On the restart, Garcia drove underneath
Steele for second then attempted to do the same on Kaeding. Garcia’s attempts
bore fruit when he slid past Kaeding in turn four to lead lap 29. The white flag
was followed by a caution flag when Kyle Rasmussen spun in turn two. Garcia
preserved the lead position for the restart. Kaeding tried the top down the
backstretch but got a slight piece of the wall, allowing Garcia some separation.
Garcia took the win over Kaeding and 16th-starting Sean Becker of Roseville.
Becker was credited with the Tribute to JP Morgan / Mr. Pickles of Morgan Hill
$250 Hard Charger. Steele and Clayton’s Joey Ancona rounded out the top-five.
Salinas’ Caleb Debem finished eighth, allowing the 18-year-old to wrap up the
2024 Ocean Sprints presented by Taco Bravo championship as well.
Santa Cruz’ Logan Mitchell won his fifth Western Midget Racing feature of the
season and closed in on the championship battle with 2023 champion Bryant Bell
of Oakley in the process. The 25-lap win during the Johnny Key Classic paid
$1200 as part of the WMR Triple Crown Series.
“I just wanted to win so bad. We’ve been podiuming every race and been in the
hunt, just needed that one difference of starting first.” Mitchell said.
Mitchell won the fast heat race for the pole position for the feature.
Idaho’s Teddy Bivert topped Arizona’s Drake Edwards to win the second heat race
to set the fourth row starting positions as well.
Friday winner Anthony Bruno of San Jose leapt ahead of Mitchell at the start
of the feature from the outside pole. Last-place starter Bell and eighth-place
starter Edwards drove into third and fourth respectively. Bell’s bid for a
podium finish ended when he stopped in turn one with just two laps to go. He
would ultimately be scored ninth.
Mitchell followed Bruno closely. He tried the outside on the backstretch on
lap 13 but couldn’t complete a pass. Bruno swung wide exiting turn two on the
next lap, allowing Mitchell to cross over from the top to the bottom to take the
lead. Mitchell led the final 11 circuits for the win followed by Bruno, Edwards,
Adrianna DeMartini of Brentwood, and Nichols.
Joe Gallaher won his seventh Hobby Stock feature of the year in a 20-lap
race. Cody Keldsen led the field while the Gallaher family was a part of
exciting battling behind him. Bobby Gallaher suffered a flat left rear tire and
spun, bringing out a caution on lap eight. He was able to get a new tire on and
rejoin the race.
Trent Golden of Pittsburg seized the lead on the restart with Joe Gallaher
advancing into second as well. The pair ran side-by-side before Gallaher took
over the spot on lap 13. A caution flew on lap 14 for Adriane Frost of
Watsonville with a flat left rear tire as well but she also rejoined the action
after a pit stop.
Gallaher, Golden, Rob Gallaher, Bobby Gallaher, and Sam Kennedy were the
top-five finishers.

LOGAN MITCHELL WINS COVETED JOHNNY KEY CLASSIC MIDGET FEATURE
WATSONVILLE, CALIFORNIA (August 11, 2024) – Santa Cruz’ Logan Mitchell won his fifth Western Midget Racing feature of the season on Saturday night at Ocean Speedway, closing in on the championship battle with 2023 champion Bryant Bell of Oakley in the process. The 25-lap win during the 64th Johnny Key Classic paid $1200 as part of the WMR Triple Crown Series.
“I just wanted to win so bad. We’ve been podiuming every race and been in the hunt, just needed that one difference of starting first.” Mitchell said.
Mitchell won the fast heat race among Friday’s top-six drivers, earning the pole position for the feature. Idaho’s Teddy Bivert topped Arizona’s Drake Edwards to win the second heat race to set the fourth row starting positions as well.
Friday winner Anthony Bruno of San Jose leapt ahead of Mitchell at the start of the feature from the outside pole. Last-place starter Bell and eighth-place starter Edwards drove into third and fourth respectively. Bell’s bid for a podium finish ended when he stopped in turn one with just two laps to go. He would ultimately be scored ninth.
Mitchell followed Bruno closely. He tried the outside on the backstretch on lap 13 but couldn’t complete a pass. Bruno swung wide exiting turn two on the next lap, allowing Mitchell to cross over from the top to the bottom to take the lead. Mitchell led the final 11 circuits for the win followed by Bruno, Edwards, Adrianna DeMartini of Brentwood, and Nichols.

Must See Racing Perfit Sprint Car Series
MARNE, Mich. (Aug. 10, 2024) – After his performance Saturday night with the Must See Racing Perfit Sprint Car Series, Canadian Ryan Litt has begun to turn Berlin Raceway into somewhat of a second home.
Litt surged past reigning series champion Jason Blonde in turn four on lap 22 of a 30-lap feature, moments before Blonde slowed dramatically with a flat right-rear tire.
He never trailed after that, leading the final nine laps en route to his third straight win in the tour’s fall date at the seven-sixteenths-mile oval. It marked Litt’s fourth Must See Racing feature victory overall.
Saturday was also Litt’s first series victory since becoming a father back in February, with six-month-old daughter Everly in attendance.
“He [Blonde] snookered me on the start. I almost spun out in between [turns] one and two,” Litt laughed. “But he’s always fun to race here. He is one of the best at this track, but you know he’s going to race you clean.
“I saw him smoking and sparking going into three late there, and I had a little run and took it,” Litt added. “It was a good race. Pretty nerve-wracking with a bunch of cautions at the end, but we made it work.”
Reigning series rookie-of-the-year Kevin Mingus started from the pole after an inversion roll of eight prior to the main, but it was Dorman Snyder who jumped out to the early advantage from the outside of the front row.
Snyder led the first eight laps in Wayne Stickney’s familiar No. 99, before Blonde came roaring past by using his traditional high side speed to gain control on the ninth rotation.
Blonde tried to check out at that point, but Litt was hot on his heels, moving quickly past Snyder into second and then lurking less than a second behind Blonde until just before the halfway point.
Snyder then slowed working lap 16 – a flat right-rear tire the culprit – but was able to make a tire change and return, while Litt and Blonde scrapped for the lead on the ensuing restart.
With 10 to go, Litt rocketed closer to Blonde’s rear bumper, before making what would ultimately be the pass for the win in the fourth corner after shooting all the way to the apron to avoid Blonde’s slowing car.
The reigning champ wasn’t done, however.
After getting a replacement tire and restarting on the tail of the lead lap in eighth, Blonde roared around the third lane on a lap-23 restart, passing six cars in half a lap to regain the runner-up position.
“I figured he had a flat tire or broke,” said Litt of Blonde. “I couldn’t believe he got back up there, though. “I was ready for the restart, and he pulled up beside me … I was like, ‘What the heck?’”
Despite the sudden surge, Blonde had nothing left to get back past Litt, even with a two-lap sprint to the finish after Davey Hamilton Jr. slowed with a blown engine to bring out the night’s final caution flag.
“I surprised myself, to be honest with you,” Blonde admitted of his move to get back toward the front. “I didn’t think it was going to be that good, because we put a used tire on, but it just shows how good the car was … especially out in clean air when we were leading. I didn’t think I'd be the second place car by that first lap [after the restart], though.
“Just hats off to the guys. After qualifying and the heat race, we were just a little free, and I got my tires really hot – almost blistering hot. We had to make a couple spring changes, but it brought the car to life. Not quite enough in those last few laps.”
British Columbia’s Aaron Willison completed the podium, giving Canada two of the top three finishers.
Bobby Komisarski and Kevin Mingus, locked in a duel for the runner-up spot in the series standings, were fourth and fifth, respectively. Championship leader Joe Liguori crossed the line in sixth.
Leading Must See Racing Midwest Lights Series competitor Charlie Baur posted a career-best mark with the national series Saturday night, earning a ninth-place finish with his family-owned race team.
Willison kicked off the program with his second fast qualifying effort of the season, timing in at 13.355 seconds (117.933 mph) in the iconic Dick Myers-owned No. 50m car.
Teddy Alberts won the first eight-lap heat race, while Litt topped the eight-lap Engine Pro Fast Car Dash, which served as the night’s second heat.
The two-race Fast Car Dash mini-series points title – comprising both Must See Racing events this season at Berlin – unofficially went to Blonde. He earned the honor with a one-point margin over Litt.
The Must See Racing Perfit Sprint Car Series season continues Saturday, Aug. 31 at Owosso Speedway in Ovid, Mich., where Willison captured his first win on the tour back in June.

ANTHONY BRUNO WINS FIRST OCEAN WMR EVENT DURING JOHNNY KEY KICK OFF
WATSONVILLE, CALIFORNIA (August 10, 2024) – San Jose’s Anthony Bruno won his
second career Western Midget Racing feature and his first at his home Ocean
Speedway in a thriller against Santa Cruz Logan Mitchell on Friday night in
Watsonville. The event paid $500 to win, kicking off the 64th Johnny Key Classic
and the second weekend of the WMR Triple Crown Series.
“Honestly it means the world to me,” Bruno said. “I grew up coming here with
my grandparents and my mom and dad would take me all the time when I was young.
I always wanted to win here.”
Bruno’s Boscacci Racing teammates Adrianna DeMartini of Brentwood and 2023
champion Bryant Bell of Oakley won the eight-lap heat races.
Bruno lined up alongside Adam Weisberg of Santa Clarita for the 20-lap
feature. Weisberg had a slow start which also bottled up Delano’s Terry Nichols
and dropped them out of the top-five. Bruno and Mitchell broke free from the
pack immediately, then ran in lockstep throughout the contest.
Current points leader Bell ran in third for the first four laps before
flipping wildly in turn three to end his evening.
Mitchell hounded the back bumper of Bruno as they built up a comfortable
advantage over DeMartini in third. Mitchell made his move on the outside coming
to the checkered flag but fell short by a nose.
Bruno earned the win over Mitchell, DeMartini, Nichols, and Todd Hawse of
Moorpark. Bruno then spun a two-car inversion for Saturday’s fast heat which
will set the starting line-up for the first three rows of the Saturday feature.
The balance of the field will battle for positions seventh on back in the second
heat race. Saturday’s feature pays $1200 to win and $150 to start.

TANNER CARRICK OPENS JOHNNY KEY CLASSIC WEEKEND WITH DOMINATING OCEAN
SPRINTS WIN
WATSONVILLE, CALIFORNIA (August 9, 2024) – Lincoln’s Tanner Carrick dominated
Friday’s Ocean Sprints presented by Taco Bravo feature, leading all 30-laps in
the prelude to Saturday’s 64th Johnny Key Classic at Ocean Speedway in
Watsonville. The win paid $2000 and gives Carrick momentum heading into the
$3000 to win event on Saturday.
Caeden Steele of Fresno topped the 26 entries in time trials before Carrick
scored the pole for the feature by winning the dash.
The opening lap saw excitement when Yuba City’s Seth Standley and Livermore’s
Travis Labat banged wheels on the front stretch. Surprisingly the field was able
to avoid a melee and racing resumed.
Penngrove’s Colby Johnson knifed through the fracas to drive from sixth
starting position into third. Carrick approached traffic by the fifth lap and
briefly had company from Steele in the second position. Carrick then accumulated
a strong lead as he darted in and out of traffic. At halfway, Johnson found his
way past Steele for second. Steele was then passed by Guage Garcia of Lemoore
for third as well.
Grant Duinkerken of Riverdale and Cody Key of Fresno collided on the
backstretch on lap 20, sending Key into a side-over-side flip. Johnson, Steele,
and Gilroy’s Kurt Nelson were also gobbled up as they tried to avoid with Steele
flipping as well. Duinkerken was the only car able to continue.
The incident erased a 5.4 second lead for Carrick and gave him a new customer
to deal with in Garcia. Garcia tried to slide Carrick on the restart into turn
one but was unable to complete a pass. Bud Kaeding then made a slider attempt on
Garcia for second. On the second attempt on lap 22, the move stuck and Kaeding
took over the position.
Kaeding closed in on Carrick as they approached lapped traffic with four to
go but a caution fell for Burt Foland, Jr. of Campbell spinning in turn one.
Carrick drove away on the restart with free real estate ahead of him for the
win, followed by Kaeding, Garcia, points leader Caleb Debem, and Standley.
Ashton Torgerson advanced ten positions to earn the JP Morgan and Mr. Pickles
Hard Charger worth $200.
San Jose’s Anthony Bruno won his second career Western Midget Racing feature
and his first at his home Ocean Speedway in a thriller against Santa Cruz Logan
Mitchell.
Adrianna DeMartini of Brentwood and 2023 champion Bryant Bell of Oakley won
the eight-lap heat races.
Bruno lined up alongside Adam Weisberg of Santa Clarita for the 20-lap
feature. Weisberg had a slow start which also bottled up Delano’s Terry Nichols.
Bruno and Mitchell broke free and ran in lockstep throughout the contest worth
$500 to win, kicking off the second weekend of the WMR Triple Crown.
Current points leader Bell ran in third for the first four laps before
flipping wildly in turn three to end his evening.
Mitchell hounded the back bumper of Bruno as they built up a comfortable
advantage over DeMartini in third. Mitchell made his move on the outside coming
to the checkered flag but fell short by a nose. Bruno earned the win over
Mitchell, DeMartini, Terry Nichols of Delano, and Todd Hawse of Moorpark. Bruno
then spun a two car inversion for Saturday’s fast heat which will set the
starting line up for the first three rows of the feature. The balance of the
field will battle for positions seventh on back in the second heat race.
2023 Hobby Stocks champion Joe Gallaher drove worst to first to grab his
seventh win of the season in a 20-lap main event. His grandson Bobby Gallaher
worked to the outside of Watsonville’s Adriane Frost to seize the lead at the
start.
Joe Gallaher passed his son Rob Gallaher for second on lap 12 then closed in
on Bobby. Grandpa took over the lead on lap 15 on the inside in turn three and
never relinquished it. The three generations of Gallaher finished one-two-three
with Joe, Bobby, and Rob followed by Frost and Reeder.
Gilroy’s TJ Santos made the most of his first Four Bangers start of the
season by leading the 15-lap feature wire-to-wire. Santos won his heat race as
well.
Original pole sitter Kenny Stragalinos of Boulder Creek had to start at the
rear after his car stalled on the first attempt at a start. Stragalinos drove
into third around the outside of Travis Vangilder of Felton on lap six.
Stragalinos quickly moved past Nicole Beardsley into second on lap seven but the
move would be nullified by a crash in turn four.
Peter Vannerus and Ken Keagan tangled in the fourth turn, resulting in Keagan
flipping over onto his roof to draw a red flag. He was uninjured.
The incident took away a six second lead that Santos had built up over the
pack. Stragalinos challenged Beardsley before completing the pass on lap 16 for
second. He was unable to make up ground on Santos’ 3.4 second advantage at that
point.
Santos grabbed victory over Stragalinos, Beardsley, Van Gilder, and Vannerus.
The 64th Johnny Key Classic hits the track on Saturday night with Ocean
Sprints presented by Taco Bravo, Western Midget Racing, and Hobby Stocks. Adult
tickets are $25. Spectator gates open at 3:30pm with mud packing and hot laps at

New York 2, PA 2 at Tri City Raceway Park
(Franklin, PA August 4, 2024); Before a packed house on Fan Appreciation Night courtest of Webco Industries, Inc., the winners at Tri-City Raceway Park, on Sunday night were Matt Farnham in the Krill Recycling 410 Sprint Cars, Erick Rudolph in the 21st Century Energy Group Modifieds, John Mollick in the 4 Your Car Connection RUSH Sprints, and Hunter Exley in the Hovis Auto & Truck Supply Pro Stocks. In addition to an exciting night of racing, the fans were treated to an autograph session with IndyCar veteran Santino Ferruci.
For the 20 lap feature for the Krill Recycling 410 Sprints, Brandon Spithaler and Jeremy Weaver received front row spots in the redraw for the top eight starting positions. Usually, front row starting spots are highly coveted and considered extremely lucky, but on this night they were not lucky at all. On the initial start, Weaver was involved in an incident in turn two that forced a complete restart, sending him to the tail of the field. This moved original third starting Brandon Matus to the outside of the front row for the next attempted start. The race went green, but Spithaler fell off the pace on the backstretch, as seventh starting Matt Farnham slipped through to take the lead as lap one was scored. Spithaler's slowing machine drew the caution, and he was pushed to the pits under the yellow. Matus, who had inherited the front row spot, also stopped during the caution and exited the race, as the top three starters on the grid never made it to lap two. Farnham continued to lead when the race restarted, with fifth starting Tyler Esh taking up the chase. The New Yorker, Farnham, was strong in the lead, pulling to a comfortable margin as the green flag laps clicked by. Farnham raced home the winner for the second time this season, and his third career win at the track. Esh was second, 4.195 seconds behind at the checkered flag. A.J. Flick finished third with Bob Felmlee fourth, as they battle for the lead in the point standings. After this event, Felmlee’s lead is down to a single point. Floridian Connor Morrell was fifth in his first ever visit, with Weaver recovering to finish sixth. John Jerich, Carl Bowser, Nathen McDowell, and Andy Cavanaugh rounded out the top ten. Weaver and Farnham were the heat race winners.
It took three tries to get the 21st Century Energy Group Modified feature going, but once it did it raced non-stop to the finish. Erick Rudolph continued his mastery of Tri-City in 2024, racing to his fifth feature event of the season. The New York veteran will be the odds-on favorite to win the Ryder Memorial for the BRP Tour on August 18. Chad Reitz ran a solid second throughout the twenty lap distance, finishing 5.658 seconds behind. Heat race winner Rick Regalski was third, with Steve Slater fourth and Tom Holden fifth.
In the 4 Your Car Connection RUSH Sprints, a special format was used as two heat races were run with the top three finishers from each going to the dash presented by Marsh Heating & Cooling. John Mollick and Blaze Myers were heat winners. Myers won the dash win to earn the pole position for the twenty lap feature race, flanked by Gale Ruth, Jr. Myers moved to the early lead, as fourth starting Mollick was up to challenge. On lap two, point leader Mollick moved to the outside of Myers and was ahead by a nose before clearing him for the lead on lap three. After a caution period on lap nine, Mollick continued to lead, but on a later restart on lap fifteen, Myers was able to challenge him for the top spot. Later caution periods on laps eighteen and nineteen would extend the race to twenty-one laps, as per track rules there must be two laps run to finish a main. The restarts gave Myers extra chances, but Mollick stayed in front to earn his fourth feature of the season, and fifth in the division. Myers settled for a close second over Ruth, Arnie Kent, and Brent Rhebergen.
The twenty lap Pro Stock feature event went to Hunter Exley for his first win in the Ho-City Raceway Park will vis Auto & Truck Supply division. He became the fifty-sixth different winner in 299 races held since 1996. Exley took command early in the event from third starting spot and raced home the winner. Jake Whitling had his best finish of the season in second, holding off Chris Schneider in third. Tim Bish and Pat Fielding rounded out the top five, with point leader Rod Laskey sixth. Heat race winners were Fielding and Schneider. John Mollick leads the way in the Marsh Heating & Cooling Heat Race Challenge, with five wins.

Seeing Double? Hillier Takes Two Wins at Skagit Speedway
8/3/24
By Kaleb Hart
Alger, WA - At the age of 14 and almost 3 months, Levi Hillier pulled off what many strive for but never achieve - winning the sprint car features in two different divisions at Skagit Speedway on the same night.
The first victory of the night came in the Sportsman Sprint division, where Levi had a relatively easy go of things, leading all twenty five laps of the feature unchallenged for the win. The victory was his third of the year in the Sportsman Sprint division. Jesson Jacobson and Steve Parker dueled for second and third place with Jacobson coming out on top. Parker set quick time and won his heat race. Hillier won heat two with Kai Dixon winning heat three.
The follow up feature for Hillier upped the level of difficulty, as he started on the front row next to the always fast Trey Starks. Levi would get the jump going into turn one, with Starks pursuing him around the low groove. Trey took a look multiple times to the low side of both sets of corners but never found the forward drive to pull even with Levi, as Hillier used the high side to maintain his lead while the pair raced into traffic. A close call with a slower car forced Levi to have to slam the door on the low groove in turn three hard around lap 10, but that’s as close as Starks could eventually get. Despite having one of the Northwest’s best no further than three car lengths back of him for the majority of the main, it was Hillier coming out on top for his second win of the night and his first in the 360 division aboard the Rudeen Racing sprint car. With his victory, Levi became the second youngest 360 winner in track history behind Colby Thornhill’s win at 14 years and 1 month in 2020. Starks and Cam Smith rounded out the podium. Smith was fast time on the night, while heat wins went to Starks, Hillier, Jesse Schlotfeldt and Colton Heath.
The Skagit Aggregates IMCA Modifieds ere back in action on Saturday night and it was Jeff Westergard racing to his second win of the season. Ben Gunderson had led since lap two but under caution on lap 16, he lost air pressure in his right front tire and had to head to the pits to change it. Westergard, who had battled from deep up to second place, inherited the lead and went the rest of the way for the win. James Bundy took second while Gunderson raced his way back up the field for third. Westergard won his heat race, with Rick Smith winning the other heat.

Kalib Henry switches lanes and gets 3rd Fremont 410 win; Jamie Miller does same and takes non-wing victory; Dustin Keegan holds on for truck win
By Brian Liskai
FREMONT, Ohio – For 25 laps Kalib Henry and DJ Foos battled for the lead of the 410 sprint car A-main at Fremont Speedway presented by Gill Construction. The duo swapped the top spot several times but a caution with five laps to go and a decision by Henry to change lanes took him to his third win of the year at “The Track That Action Built” on Sandusky County Chamber of Commerce/Sandusky County Visitors Bureau/Sandusky County Economic Development/City of Fremont Night.
Foos led the first 13 laps of the Fort Ball Pizza Palace 410 Sprint A-main with sixth starter Henry leading laps 14-18. Foos regained the top spot on lap 19 with Henry taking the lead back on lap 21. Foos drove under Henry, who was committed to the top ledge of the track, on lap 24 with Henry back to the point right as the caution flew on lap 25.
On the ensuing restart Henry, from Sacramento, California, opted to drive to
the bottom of turns one and two and that was the winning move as he pulled away
for the win over Foos, Zane DeVault, Cap Henry and Sean Rayhall. The win pads
Henry’s lead in the track’s points.
Cap Henry’s 10th to fourth place run will close the gap on 12th place finisher
Cale Thomas’ advantage in the All Pro Aluminum Cylinder Heads/Kistler Racing
Products Attica Fremont Championship Series presented by the Baumann Auto Group.
“I kept seeing DJ poke his nose and I knew I needed to do something different there…I wasn’t sure because I hadn’t been down there the whole race. I kept driving over the edge down in one and two…the cushion rolled up over the top and I knew I had to change something up. I had to change something up on the restart. I can’t thank Jim and Rebecca Muth enough for the opportunity. I know my parents are headed to Knoxville so they’re screaming at the phone driving there. I can’t wait to see them tomorrow,” said Henry beside his Running Boxer Farms, Harris Distributing Company, Valvoline, K1, Berryman Racing Shocks, Chalkstix backed #101.
Fremont’s Jamie Miller has won in 305 winged sprints and dirt trucks at Fremont in 2024. He added a non-wing victory Saturday in a thrilling battle with Aiden Salisbury in the first ever appearance of the American Sprint Car Tour at Fremont Speedway. Salisbury lead the first three laps before Miller, who started third, took over. The pair raced side by side with Miller up top and Salisbury on the bottom. Salisbury retook the lead on lap 21 but Miller moved to the bottom on the race track in turns three and four as they raced to the white flag, and took the lead and 51st career win at Fremont over Salisbury, Tyler Miller, Larry Kingseed and Brian Smith.
“I was good up top but it was starting to get tight and I messed up a couple of times and I knew that allowed him to close a couple of times but I knew he couldn’t get by me or away from me. He left the bottom wide open and on the white flag I said hell with it I’m going to the bottom and it stuck like glue,” said Miller.
The Burmeister Trophy Dirt Trucks also put on a thrilling feature event. Former track champion Dustin Keegan lead the opening lap before Kent Brewer took over for a lap with fifth starter and current point leader Keith Sorg moving into the lead on lap three. Sorg led until lap nine when Keegan regained the top spot with Sorg battling back to the point on lap 12. On a restart, Keegan moved to the lead once again. Keegan held off several challenges from Sorg the final seven laps to score his second win of 2024 and the 11th of his career at the track. Sorg, Jamie Miller, Shawn Valenti and Brewer rounded out the top five.
“I have two compressed vertebra in my lower back so it’s painful out there. I want to thank my dad, my girlfriend and all the sponsors who help on this truck,” said Keegan beside his Sonny’s Signs, Burmeister Trophy, Jeff Ward Demolition backed #17x.
Fremont Speedway will be back in action Saturday, Aug. 10 with the first ever appearance of the RPM Flat Track Motorcycles in action.

Bud Kaeding wins one for Davy on Friday at Ocean Speedway
Watsonville, CA…On a night that he performed a Memorial Lap for the late Davy Thomas, former Ocean Sprints champion Bud Kaeding capped the event by claiming his second victory of the 2024 campaign.
Kaeding grabbed the lead early on and held off a fast Caeden Steele to earn the emotional triumph. In victory lane, the veteran dedicated his win to Davy, who grew up a big fan of the multi-time Silver Crown champ. It was also the final tune-up prior to next week’s Johnny Key Classic, with purse details included at bottom of this story.
Ocean Speedway also honored the late Diane Morgan on Friday night with a very special Memorial Lap and extra money on the line for the IMCA Modifieds. At the end it was Salinas driver Cody Burke making a late pass for the $1,000 grand prize.
Sharing victory lane on Friday were Tracy’s KC Keller with the IMCA Sport Mods and Ocean point leader Joe Gallaher with the Hobby Stocks.
The 30-lap Ocean Sprints presented by Taco Bravo feature began with the night’s fast qualifier Jake Haulot jumping into the lead. The track surface was in phenomenal shape and lent itself to some excellent racing in all classes.
Kaeding utilized a beautiful move to slice his way into the top spot on lap four and then rode the cushion to perfection. Northern Auto Racing Club Rookie of the Year contender Caeden Steele made a rare Ocean Sprints start and moved into second place on lap 11.
Steele kept Kaeding within striking distance on several restarts and made it a race for the lead as it wound down. Kaeding hit his marks to perfection though and crossed under the Ed Entz checkered flag for victory over Steele. Riverdale’s Grant Duinkerken made a wild final corner pass upstairs to take third at the line over Joey Ancona and Haulot.
The 25-lap IMCA Modified feature in memory of Diane Morgan started with Fred Lind battling it out with Austin Burke up front. Burke took command on lap two but soon felt intense pressure from Cody Burke after moving into second on lap eight.
The Burke boys kept fans on the edge of their seats while racing closely together for the duration of the contest. Coming to the white flag Austin slipped up just enough to allow an opening for Cody, who took full advantage, slipping to his inside and taking over the point.
Cody Burke went on to tally the victory over Austin, Lind, Jacob Mallet Jr. and a very racy Robert Marsh.
The 20-lap IMCA Sport Mod finale saw Mike Gill lead the opening lap, until getting crossed up in turns one and two, looping it around. Recent winner KC Keller then found himself out front and had his way with things, en route to his second triumph of the Ocean Speedway year.
Point leader Emali VanHoff crossed the stripe in second, ahead of Brian Baggett, Steven Allee and Chuck Golden.
The 20-lap Hobby Stock main event was all about defending track champion and current point leader Joe Gallaher. The Virginia native got out front and raced to his sixth victory of the season at the quarter mile.
Track favorite Terry Campion returned to action on Friday and brought home a solid runner up finish, with the top-five rounded out by Bobby Gallaher, Adriane Frost and Norm Ayers.
Ocean Speedway now gears up for the two-night running of the 64th Johnny Key Classic. Opening night on Friday hands out $2,000 to the Ocean Sprints winner, while Saturday’s finale is $3,000 to win; $1,000 for second and $800 for third.
Each night will be a guaranteed $300 to start the main event. Extra money will also be on the line for fast time and hard charger both nights in memory of JP Morgan, who considered the Key Classic to be his favorite event.

Mallett took the lead from his outside front row starting spot at the start of the race and led all 25 laps.
Two-time USCS National Champion Morgan Turpin-Havener of Gallatin, TN took the second spot and Dale Howard of Byhalia, MS started 18th and finished third to earn the Wilwood Brakes Hard Charger Award. Michael Miller of Pascagoula, MS was fourth.
The defending and 15-time USCS National Champion National Sprint Car Hall of Fame Inductee Terry Gray of Bartlett, TN drove to a fifth-place finish. Brandon Blendon of Gulfport, MS finished sixth and Blake Mallette of Vancleve, MS took the seventh spot. Jake Brashier of Denham Springs, LA was eighth, with ninth going to Jeff Willingham of Ripley, MS. Hannah Merritt of Nesbit, MS rounded out the top ten.
In preliminary action, Blenden won the six-lap Hoosier Racing Tire Speed Dash to earn the Pole Position for the 25-lap Feature Race. The three eight-lap Heat Races were won by Gray in the Engler Machine & Tool First Heat Race, Blenden in the Butlerbuilt Racing Products Second Heat Race, and Mallett in the Racing Electronics Third Heat.
It took three tries to start the Feature Race, as Willingham spun in turn one on the first lap, and then Butch David of Geismar, LA flipped on the complete restart and landed on a light pole. The power had to be turned off to remove David from the car, but he was uninjured. Once the car was removed from the light pole, the power was turned back on the field tried again.
The third time was the charm, as Mallett took the lead followed by Blendon, Turpin-Havener, Gray and Mallett. The red flag was once again displayed when Kevin Baham of Amite, LA flipped in turn one. He climbed out O.K. Howard made a big move on the restart, climbing into the fifth position. The caution was waved on lap five when Parker Davis of Mobile, AL spun in turn four.
The top five for the restart were Mallett, Blenden, Turpin-Havener, Gray and Howard. When the field went back to green flag racing, Howard got by Gray to take the fourth spot. On lap six, Turpin-Havener and Howard got by Blenden for second and third respectively, and Miller passed Gray for fifth.
Miller passed Blenden for fourth on lap seven, and Gray moved back into the top five on lap eight getting around Blenden. The last caution flag of the race came out on lap 12 when Dustin Burtron of Seminole, FL stalled on the backstretch. The top five for the restart was Mallett, Turpin-Havener, Howard, Miller and Gray.
Mallett pulled away and by lap 19, the leader had put four lapped cars between himself and Turpin-Havener. Howard passed Turpin-Havener for second on lap 21, but the “Queen of the Wings” came right back on lap 22 to reclaim the second spot. When Mallett took the white flag, he had three lapped cars between himself and Turpin-Havener to seal the deal to the checkered flag.

HUTTON STEALS WIN FROM TROMBLEY IN LAST LAP PASS AT FONDA
Race Report By: Marty Czekala – July 28, 2024
FONDA, N.Y. – Two drivers went into the night at Fonda Speedway looking to tie a record.
Jordan Hutton looked to tie the record for CRSA wins at Fonda with four. On the other hand, Jeff Trombley looked to tie the CRSA all-time high in wins with 14.
In the end, Hutton went around the outside of Trombley on the final lap in turn two to score his third win of the season and go two-for-two in the I-90 Pit Stop Challenge.
“It means a lot to win at Fonda,” said Hutton, whose win rate at Fonda is at 44 percent. “Just a tough season. Lost a lot of motors and different things. We really needed this.”
It was heartbreak again for Trombley, the four-time series champion. The last time we saw Trombley at Afton, his engine expired with under 10 laps to go. This time, a cylinder dropped on the final lap.
“I knew on the restarts I could get him so many times,” said Trombley post-race. “I knew that was my only shot to get him. Once I got out front, I was gonna take his line.”
Hutton redrew the pole in his No. 66 with Blake Warner to the outside. Warner got the jump at the drop of Tyler Groescup’s green. Hutton looked low on lap two, but Warner cleared and opened up the lead.
The 1.6-second lead would disappear violently on lap seven when Warner's No. 21B darted up the track and slammed hard into the turn four wall, cartwheeling, catching fire, and even piercing the catch fence. Warner would walk away from his destroyed X-1 chassis uninjured.
That gave Hutton the lead where he would hold serve on Trombley. The latter would peek low numerous times but couldn’t get it to stick. This would begin a long run in which Hutton would run away, opening the lead up to 2.8 seconds while in lapped traffic. The run would end with three laps to go as Link Pettit crept to a snail’s pace in turn four.
This would set up a four-lap sprint to the finish. On the restart, Trombley would send it downstairs on Hutton in turn two and try to take away Hutton’s line to go out front.
As if Trombley had the win and just had to make no mistakes, the dropped cylinder allowed Hutton to sneak past and take his fourth win at Fonda by under a second, tying Danny Varin and Mike Kiser for the most wins at "The Track of Champions."
“I saw him go low entering one when the white flag came out; I said, 'I got him now,'" said Hutton. "Today marks 20 years since I lost my grandfather. It means a lot to my father and my whole family.”
Despite the dropped cylinder, Trombley limped the No. 3a home in second, tying his best finish of the year at Weedsport, the other I-90 Pit Stop Challenge event.
“The car is going good,” said Trombley. “Every track we go to, this car is good. I went five years without an engine glitch. Now they’re catching up.”
Dalton Herrick rounded out the podium in third, matching his best finish from Afton May 31.
“That’s one of the best cars I’ve had here in a feature at Fonda,” Trombley explained. “It’s about momentum and balance. I was too tight [in heat races]. We got lucky they did some track prep and turned the track around.”
Mike Kiser was given the Maguire Family of Dealerships Magnificent Move of the Race, receiving a $25 bonus.
Cliff Pierce was awarded the Powdertech Powdercoating Hard Charger, starting 20th and finishing 14th, receiving $25.
21 drivers checked into Fonda tonight.

BRYANT BELL CONTINUES STRONG RUNS IN WMR WITH FIRST ANTIOCH VICTORY
ANTIOCH, CALIFORNIA (July 28, 2024) – 2023 Western Midget Racing champion
Bryant Bell of Oakley earned a coveted home track victory, taking his first
career Antioch WMR win on Saturday night after a thrilling duel with his
Boscacci Racing teammate Anthony Bruno of San Jose. Bell’s victory was also his
fourth consecutive triumph in the WMR tour.
Delano’s Terry Nichols started on the pole for the 20-lap feature with Bruno
quickly in pursuit. Nichols held off a furious challenge from Bruno, Bell, and
Santa Cruz’ Logan Mitchell for a few laps before Bell took over the top spot on
the front stretch on lap three. Bruno followed into second place while Mitchell
and Nichols battled behind them for third.
The first caution of the feature flew on lap seven for Todd Hawse of Moorpark
in turns three and four. He was able to rejoin the race.
On the restart, Bruno attempted to slide his teammate Bell into turn three.
He then crossed over to the outside of Bell down the backstretch to nab the lead
on lap eight.
The duo raced side-by-side for the top spot with Bell driving back into the
lead on lap 12. Bruno clawed back to Bell before the last caution of the event
with two to go. Bryant Bell held court over the final laps and won his first
career Antioch Speedway victory with WMR followed closely by Bruno and Mitchell.
Nichols finished fourth with Hawse charging back to fifth.
The second round of the 2024 Western Midget Racing Triple Crown is up next on
August 9 and 10 for the Johnny Key Classic at Ocean Speedway in Watsonville.
Friday’s action pays $500 to win while Saturday’s feature will pay $1200 to win.

SONIC Night at Double X Speedway
California, MO
Sunday July 28, 2024
By: Dean Reichel
SONIC Night at Double X Speedway was held Sunday night with Winged Sprint Cars, Super Stocks and B Modifieds doing battle at the little bullring just outside of California, MO. SONIC Drive In of California has been a longtime supporter of local dirt track racing and had several activities for the fans in the stands to enjoy throughout the evening.
Spotty rain showers around the area along with a brief shower at 1:30 in the afternoon did not dampen the on track action. Two Super Stock heat races started off the racing action. In the first heat it was Eddie Keeran besting the field over fifth starting Darek Wiss driving the Jody Romig #12 in second, Steve Beach was third, Adam Halley finished fourth and Chris Romig was fifth. Heat two saw Clayton Campbell pick up the win over a hard charging James Nighswonger in his back up car, third was Dale Berry, Ryan Shikles was fourth and Zack Smith chalked up a DNF when his engine expired on lap seven.
The B Mod heat races took to the track next. In heat one Adam Hall picked up the victory over hard charging Tyler Potter, Sturgis Streeter crossed the strip in third with Richard Brainard crossing in fourth. The second heat saw Colson Kirk claiming the checkered flag with Tyler Imhoff in second, Austen Raybourn in third and Jared Riddle finishing fourth.
The 360 Winged Sprint Car heat races put a cap on the first half of the evening’s competition. Miles Paulus would use a hole shot on a complete restart to take the lead and the victory over young gun Garrett Benson in second. Ben Brown finished third, Tyler Blank was fourth, Adam Parmeley finished fifth and Emylee Yoder completed the top six. Darren Langford did not finish. Heat 2 saw Samuel Wagner post a convincing victory over the field. Brother Jack Wagner would steal second at the finish over Paul Solomon in third. Taylor Walton would finish fourth with Aubrey Smith in fifth and Blake Bowers in sixth. Broc Elliott was unable to start the race.
The Super Stock Feature saw numerous cautions for traction challenged drivers but veteran Clayton Campbell looked like he would add another checkered flag this season but as the laps wound down, James Nishwonger would drive past on the high side and pick up the win. Campbell would finish a solid second with Steve Beach crossing the stripe in third. Adam Halley would finish fourth and Ryan Shikles completed the top five. Chris Romig and Dale Berry did not finish and were credited with sixth and seventh. Two drivers were disqualified from the event for unsportsmanlike conduct, specifically rough driving, Eddie Keeran and Darek Wiss. Zach Smith was unable to start due to mechanical issues.
The B Modified feature would see Colson Kirk from Urbana take the lead at the green flag and race to a victory. Kirk was not challenged in the event becoming the eight different feature winner in twelve appearances by the class at Double X. Multi time winner Adam Hall would finish a solid second with Tyler Potter crossing the stripe in third, Sturgis Streeter claimed the fourth spot and Austen Raybourn would complete the top five. Tyler Imhoff, Richard Brainard and Jared Riddle completed the running order in 6th through 8th respectively.
The 360 Winged Sprint Cars closed out SONIC Night at the races with the traditional 25 lap feature event. Miles Paulus would take the lead at the start and run some smooth laps but by lap seven Jack Wagner had overtaken the top spot. The racing action was intense behind the top two as first Broc Elliott and then Tyler Blank began moving up through the field. Blank cracked the top four by lap 21 and the top three a lap later. At checkered it would be Jack Wagner by a straightaway over Tyler Blank whose charge ended at second place. Miles Paulus would ring up a third place finish with Samuel Wagner in fourth and Garrett Benson completing the top five. Broc Elliott advanced from 14th to sixth at the finish with Ben Brown in seventh, Taylor Walton would cross in eighth, Paul Solomon in ninth and Adam Parmeley at tenth. Emylee Yoder would complete the running cars at the checkered in eleventh.
Next Sunday night is season championship nught at Double X for 2024. Winged Sprint Cars, Super Stocks and Pure Stocks will be in competition. Awards will be presented after the evenings races.

Tanner Carrick, Anthony Slaney, Nick Baldwin and Mike Miller earn Carnett Clash wins
By Gary Thomas
Placerville, CA…An entertaining night of racing at the annual Carnett Clash was capped with Lincoln’s Tanner Carrick scoring his first Placerville Speedway win of the season on Saturday.
Sharing victory lane at the event were Anthony Slaney with the Mountain Democrat Ltd. Late Models, Nick Baldwin with the Red Hawk Casino Pure Stocks and Mike Miller with the Mountain Democrat Mini Trucks.
The 25-lap Thompson’s Family of Dealerships Winged 360 Sprint Car feature began with Tanner Carrick and youngster Austin Wood going at it for the lead.
The pair battled back and forth before Carrick assumed the point that he would never relinquish. Although Carrick officially led for the duration, it did not come easy for the driver of the TC Guide Service No. 83T.
Placerville’s Shane Hopkins moved into second around lap 11 and began to hound the rear of Carrick, while having to contend with Auburn’s Andy Forsberg at the same time. The trio raced close together for several laps in exciting fashion, but Carrick ran a near mistake free race up front.
Carrick went on to cross the Ron Stahl checkered flag for his eighth career Placerville Speedway Winged 360 triumph, tying Kalib Henry and Glen Boune on the all-time win list. Hopkins came home in second and became the new point leader by two markers ahead of third place finisher Forsberg.
Modesto’s Tony Gomes and Elk Grove’s Bubba Decaires rounded out the top-five. Completing the top-10 were Luke Hayes, Chance Grasty, Izaak Sharp, Austin Torgerson and Austin Wood.
The $1,000 to win Mountain Democrat Ltd. Late Model feature saw Martinez driver Anthony Slaney continue his impressive campaign. Live Oak’s Matt Micheli led the early laps as things clicked off fast and furious.
Slaney looked ultra-fast though as he charged around the high side of the quarter mile bullring. The current Placerville Speedway point leader took over the lead on lap 10 and went on to hold command for the extent, crossing the stripe for his fourth triumph of the season.
Rod Oliver gave it a strong run in second, followed by Micheli, Dan Brown Jr., and Ryan McDaniel.
The Red Hawk Casino Pure Stocks also showcased a tremendous 25-lap finale, which kept fans on the edge of their seats. Multiple drivers battled it out for the $750 grand prize as part of the Carnett Clash. Tommy Sturgeon led the first couple laps, before Placerville’s Tyler Lightfoot charged to the point.
Lightfoot has put together a solid campaign in the Pure Stock and cut smooth laps up front, while contending with five-time track champion Nick Baldwin. Lapped traffic made things interesting up front and at one point, Baldwin split the difference as he battled with Lightfoot for the top-spot.
With 18 laps complete Baldwin snagged the lead and would go on to lead the final seven circuits for his 30th career Placerville Speedway triumph. Lightfoot came home in second, followed by Kevin Jinkerson, Sturgeon and Wayne Trimble in the top-five.
Placerville’s Mike Miller continued his mastery of the Mountain Democrat Mini Truck division on Saturday, leading all 20 laps for victory. Luke Costa had one of his best career runs in second, followed by Austin Struthers, Thomas Jensen and Paizlee Miller.
Placerville Speedway returns to action this coming Saturday with the $8,500 to win Forni-Humphreys Classic.

Spithaler Seals the Deal in FAST on Dirt Sprints; Rudolph First in Modifieds, Cipriano in RUSH Mods, and Whitling in Pro Stocks
(Franklin, PA July 28, 2024): Brandon Spithaler rebounded from some recent adversity to take the win in the FAST on Dirt Sprint Car main event held at Tri City Raceway Park.
Returning after a short absence, Erick Rudolph claimed the win in the Modified class presented by 21st Energy Group. This was the first event conducted since the track merged its 358 Modifieds with the Big Blocks. Taking the Hovis Auto & Truck Supply Pro Stock feature was Bobby Whitling. Ayden Cipriano captured the RUSH Sportsmen Modified part of the program.
The FAST on Dirt 410 Sprints took on the Krill Recycling 410s for a twenty-five lapper. It was the second appearance of the year at the track for the FAST touring series.
Dylan Cisney and Cody Bova were on the front row, with Carl Bowser and Zane DeVault in row two. The third row belonged to Dale Blaney and Brandon Spithaler, the series points leader. Jeremy Weaver was sitting in for Andy Cavanaugh, and he rolled away in the seventh position. Jack Sodeman, Jr. was his running mate. Bob Felmlee and John Jerich made up row five. In the sixth row were Derek Hauck and Nathan McDowell.
Cisney jumped out front at the start of the FAST on Dirt Sprint Car race. Bova ran in second in the early going, followed by Spithaler, DeVault, Bowser, Blaney, Sodeman, Weaver, Felmlee, and Jerich.
Spithaler was quick around the top of the big Venango County oval. He moved into second by lap five. Two laps later, he claimed the lead coming off turn two.
Spithaler stretched his lead as the race progressed. Cisney continued in second, followed by Bova, DeVault, and Blaney. Not even lapped traffic slowed Spithaler’s rapid pace.
Spithaler, who demolished a car at the recent Don Martin Memorial, took the checkers ahead of Cisney, DeVault, Bova, and Blaney. Bowser led the next quintet, along with Weaver, Sodeman, Hauck, and Felmlee.
The heat winners in the FAST on Dirt Sprint Series were Cody Bova and Dale Blaney. There was no B Main. The evening’s fastest qualifier was Brandon Spithaler, with a time of 15.337.
At the start of heat two for the FAST on Dirt Sprint Cars, two time and defending track champion, A.J. Flick, tangled with the car of Zane DeVault right at the flagstand. Flick went over, but was not hurt. He was unable to start the feature event.
Chad Reitz had the pole for the start of the Modified twenty lapper for the 21st Century Energy Group sponsored division. Erick Rudolph was on his flank. Rex King, Jr. and Jeremiah Shingledecker were in row two. The third row paired up Austin Eyler and Steve Slater, who was back behind the wheel of his own car. Lenny Liebold, III tagged the tail.
Rudolph jumped out to the early lead, with Shingledecker , King, Reitz, and Eyler following. A spin by Liebold in turn two required a restart with one lap complete. On the restart, King powered into second. Soon thereafter, Slater moved ahead of Reitz for the fourth spot.
Rudolph’s Big Block led the remaining nineteen laps without incident. King was about ten car lengths back. Shingledecker cruised home in third. He was followed by Slater and Reitz. Eyler was sixth, with Liebold in seventh.
The heat winner of the 21st Century Energy Group Modifieds was Erick Rudolph. There was no B Main.
Aaron Smith and Mike Miller shared row one for the fifteen lap Hovis Auto & Truck Supply Pro Stock feature. Matt Bernard and Tyler Wyant were behind them. Then came Doug Iorio, II and Bobby Whitling. Pat Fielding and Jason Kimmy were paired in row four. The fifth row had Russ Coyne and Josh Seippel. Rod Laskey and Charlie McMillen had row six covered. Trailing the field was Randy Wyant.
Miller led the early going, with Tyler Wyant running second. Miller dropped out at lap five, giving the lead to Wyant for the restart. Bobby Whitling lined up next to him, and that proved to be the difference maker. Whitling got rolling on the outside and swooped into the lead on the restart.
A spin by McMillen in turn four, followed by a brief flare-up under the hood, led to a green-white-checkered finish.
Whitling led the rest of the way, with Wyant remaining close enough to capitalize on any mistakes that Whitling might make. There were none, so Wyant took home the second place money. Third went to Laskey, fourth to Coyne, and fifth to Bernard. Fielding, Kimmy, Iorio, McMillen, Randy Wyant were the next five finishers.
The Hovis Auto & Truck Supply Pro Stocks presented two heat races. The winners were Doug Iorio, II and Mike Miller. There was no B Main.
Brandon Ritchey was inside row one, with Ayden Cipriano as his dancing partner for the start of the RUSH Modified Sportsmen. Kole Holden and Logen Lockhart made up row two. The third row consisted of Lucas Canon, and Darin Gallagher. In row four, Frank Guidace and Chelsie Gallagher were found. The fifth row paired Karston King with Cole Edwards. The sixth row featured Troy McGregor and Makayla Shannon.
Cipriano took the early lead, and Ritchey, Kole Holden, Lockhart, and Darin Gallagher in the top five. The race went non-stop, with the top five remaining unchanged throughout. Canon, Guidace, Chelsie Gallagher, Edwards, and Karston King completed the top ten.
The RUSH Modified Sportsmen also competed in two heat races, with the wins going to Ayden Cipriano and Kole Holden. There was no B Main.

Tanner Claims $4,000 in ESS Outlaw Summer Nationals
By Curtis Berleue (Dundee, NY) | For the first time in 2024, Matt Tanner was victorious in Empire Super Sprints Action at the Outlaw Speedway in Dundee, NY. Leading all 25 laps, the Stephentown, NY driver picked up $4,000 for his efforts on Friday night.
Shawn Donath and Matt Tanner brought the field to the initial green flag. Utilizing the high side of the track, Tanner got the early advantage off turn four to lead lap one.
Behind Tanner, third starting Jason Barney quickly moved into second, with Donath not far behind in third. By lap 5, Tanner still held the lead over Barney and Donath, while Jonathan Preston, Alex Therrien and Billy VanInwegen all battled for positions 4-6.
On Lap 8, Tanner caught the back of the field and began navigating lap traffic. As Tanner and Barney sliced through the slower cars, VanInwegen used traffic to his advantage to take sole possession of third place.
With the laps clicking by, it looked as though nobody had anything for Tanner. On lap 18, Donath was able to get by Barney for second using the extreme high side of the track, but it was smooth sailing for Tanner as he crossed the line for his first victory of the season.
“At the beginning there I was a little nervous running around the top,” said Tanner in victory lane. “Toward the end it felt like the top was going away, I tried the bottom and then it kinda cleaned off down there and I wasn’t sure what to do at the end.”
Crossing the line second was Shawn Donath.
“He (Tanner) was good early and it took a little bit for the tires to fire,” said Donath. “We were just a little bit too late getting going.”
Coming from his 8th place starting spot, Billy VanInwegen rounded out the Ashley Lynn Winery podium in third.
“We really had a good car, I thought with maybe a yellow around half way we could have had something,” said VanInwegen. “We can’t hang our heads with third, we’re working hard at this deal and making strides for sure.”
24 cars signed into the pit area Friday night, splitting the field into three timed hot lap groups. Rifenburg Contracting fast time awards went to Matt Farnham, Alex Therrien and Matt Tanner. E&V Energy heat races were won by Jared Zimbardi, Alex Therrien and Jordan Thomas, while the Cobra Coaches dash presented by Lanes Yamaha was won by Jordan Poirier.

Zimbardi Leads Wire to Wire at Woodhull
By Curtis Berleue (Woodhull, NY) | For the second night in a row, it was a new face in victory lane in 2024 for the Empire Super Sprints, as Braford, PA’s Jared Zimbardi picked up his first win of the season Saturday night at Woodhull. Almost exactly one year from his last ESS victory, it was Zimbardi’s 6th ESS win and 51st career win.
After drawing the number two starting spot, Zimbardi used the high side to his advantage on lap one to take the lead over Pinnacle Pole Award winner Kyle Drum.
With 5 laps complete, it was still Zimbardi out front over Drum, with Jason Barney third, Shawn Donath 4th and Trevor Years fifth. On lap 6, Barney was able to sneak underneath of Drum coming off turn four to take the second position away. With much of the field using the high side of the track, Barney continued to creep the bottom in an attempt to chase down Zimbardi.
Just one caution coming on lap 7 slowed the event, and on the ensuing restart Zimbardi again jumped out to the lead over Barney, with Drum in third.
For the second night in a row, Billy VanInwegen was mounting a charge from deep in the field. Starting 10th, he had moved his way into the top five by lap 8. 5 laps later, he secured the fourth spot, and on lap 18 he slid into a podium spot in third.
While Zimbardi navigated lap traffic, VanInwegen was relentlessly running the bottom in an attempt to catch Barney for second, and with two laps to go he slid by him. It was too little too late, however, as Zimbardi’s half-second lead let him cross the line first.
“It was tough to see coming down the backstretch, I wasn’t sure but I knew he (Barney) was there,” said Zimbardi. “I certainly didn’t want to give him the bottom on that restart. You get a nice launch out of turn four, and if I could get him clear go to the top and if he didn’t get by me off of two I knew I was good.”
“Keeping the momentum was tricky around the top, you just miss it by a little bit and you’re off the racetrack. The last time I won here was in 2016, so we were long overdue.”
Finishing one spot better than the night before, Billy VanInwegen came home second, while Jason Barney rounded out the Ashley Lynn Winery podium.
“I didn’t feel good in the heat race, so we went to work and my guys kept making the car better for me,” said VanInwegen. “These guys just have no quit in them and I’m super thankful.”
In two timed hot lap groups, Jared Zimbardi and Shawn Donath earned Rifenburg Contracting fast time awards, while Jordan Thomas and Trevor Years picked up E&V Energy heat wins. The Cobra Coaches dash presented by Mary Ennis was won by Davie Franek.
The next scheduled event for the Empire Super Sprints is this coming Friday, August 2nd at the Can-Am Speedway in LaFargeville, NY.

Kurt tops Tyler in Davis family 1-2 PDTR 360 Sprint Car finish
Myers Jr., Sandholm earn initial A-main victories
(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) July 27, 2024 – If you were to describe the eighth Plymouth Dirt Track Racing program of the 2024 season on Saturday, July 27 in one word, “ordinary” most certainly wouldn’t be it.
Whether it was a father-son 1-2 finish, inspired runs from the back to the front of the field, a heaping helping of slide jobs, a pair of A-main leaders meeting misfortune in the same race, a father driving his daughter’s car to an A-main win or two incidents involving hard impacts with the outer wall and fence, action in the Akright Auto Plymouth Dirt Track Racing – Midwest Sprint Car Association 360 Sprint Cars, PDTR B Mods and the visiting Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car divisions provided Plymouth Dirt Track Racing fans with an abundance of wheel-to-wheel entertainment.
Two-time Akright Auto 360 Sprint Car champion Kurt Davis of South Milwaukee bested a career-best run from his son, Tyler, to capture his first A-main victory at The Plymouth Dirt Track in over three years as the Davis’ achieved a rare 1-2 father-son showing in the 25-lap PDTR-MSA main event.
After the first two leaders encountered misfortune, Joel Myers Jr. of Santa Rosa, Calif. nailed down a victory in the 30-lap IRA 410 Sprint Car Series main event.
Mike Sandholm of Oconomowoc made his first start in the car normally wheeled by his daughter, Miranda, a memorable one as he led wire-to-wire en route to victory in the 25-lap PDTR B Mod A-main.
In the 25-lap PDTR-MSA 360 Sprint Car main event, polesitter Bill Taylor of Boltonville raced into the lead on the drop of the green flag as Kurt Davis, who started fourth, jumped to the high groove of the third-mile clay oval to challenge third starter T.J. Smith of Greenville for second.
The first caution of two cautions appeared on lap 3 when Justin Erickson of Plymouth spun in turn two and collected Clayton Rossmann of Wadsworth, Ill, T.J. Haddy of Waupun and Alex Pokorski of West Bend. All three drivers retreated to the work area before rejoining the race at the rear of the field on the ensuing restart.
Taylor continued to hold down the lead when the race resumed while Kurt Davis stormed into second place along with the cushion on lap 7. Three laps later, the all-time winningest driver in the 25-season history of the Akright Auto Midwest Sprint Car Association powered his way past Taylor to secure the lead on the slick, smooth and multi-groove racing surface.
The second and final caution flag was displayed on lap 13 when Taylor and Brandon Berth of Cascade were involved in an incident in turn two during a four-car duel for second. Both drivers were able to return to the race.
Following the restart, Kurt’s son, Tyler Davis of Franklin, moved up from the sixth starting spot to shoot past Smith into second on lap 14 as ninth starter Robbie Pribnow charged into third along the outside line.
With five laps to go, Kurt Davis caught the rear of the field and had to deal with a swarm of slower cars, which allowed Tyler Davis to reel in his father.
With one lap to go, Tyler pulled to within striking distance his father. However, Kurt Davis proved to be the top Davis family finisher on this occasion as he held on by a car length to capture his first victory in PDTR 360 Sprint Car competition since May 8, 2021, as well as his 26th career PDTR 360 Sprint Car A-main triumph and MSA A-main leading 65th career A-main win.
In his 39th season of competition, Kurt Davis’ PDTR 360 Sprint Car win moved him to within seven victories of all-time PDTR A-main victory leader Brandon McMullen of Oshkosh, who currently sits at the top of the heap at The Plymouth Dirt Track with 33 wins.
The win also helped Kurt Davis to stretch his lead at the top of the MSA 360 Sprint Car all-time A-main victory list to 13 over current runner-up Danny Schlafer of Sussex, who has 52 MSA 360 Sprint Car A-main victories to his credit. It was Davis’ first MSA win since May 15, 2022 at Angell Park Speedway in Sun Prairie, Wis.
“I’ve been going through the year doubting myself – am I too old, did I lose some stuff?” Kurt Davis said. “I may be a little bit more out of shape. I may have lost a bit of timing, but this one’s for the old guys. As for running the number 39 this year, we lost Cole Possi last year. The Possi family have been great friends to me. I’m glad I could at least pay them back for all their years of friendship and support with a victory.”
Tyler Davis claimed a career-best second place showing, Pribnow placed third, Smith wound up fourth and Chris Clayton of Waldo mounted an inspired run from the 20th starting spot to secure a fifth place showing in his first appearance of the 2024 season in PDTR and MSA 360 Sprint Car competition.
The 30-lap IRA A-main proved to overflow with action in various ways. Polesitter and early race leader Danny Schlafer of Sussex took the lead at the start before the red flag appeared when Mike Reinke of Howards Grove made hard contact with the turn four wall and flipped on lap 3.
Schlafer controlled the restart and hit lapped traffic on lap 9 as second starter Jake Neuman of New Berlin, Ill., two-time IRA champion Jake Blackhurst of Hanna City, Ill., who started fourth, fifth starter Blake Nimee of Oswego, Ill. and Joel Myers Jr. who started eighth, waged an epic slide job-laden battle for third.
After leading the first 11 laps of the event, Schlafer made contact with a lapped car on lap 12, which launched his No. 25 car on a series of flips into the turn one fence.
With Schlafer out of the race, second starter Jake Neumann of New Berlin, Ill. assumed the top spot until his 3N machine rolled to a stop in turn three on lap 20 to become the second race leader to drop out of the event over the span of eight laps.
Blackhurst inherited the lead with Myers Jr. and Max Guilford of Aukland, New Zealand, who started 11th, lurking close behind. The fourth and final stoppage of the race occurred with five laps to go when Ryan Zielski of Oconomowoc spun.
The closing laps saw Blackhurst, Myers Jr. and Nimee relentlessly duel for the top spot as the trio reeled off slide job after slide job. Myers Jr. eventually swept into the lead along the high line. At the same time, Nimee ducked under Blackhurst utilizing the low groove as the trio raced three-wide coming out of turn four on lap 27.
Myers Jr. surged ahead of Nimee for good on lap 28 with Guilford charging back into the top three as the checkered flag flew to cap the action-packed race with Myers Jr. collecting his first career IRA A-main triumph.
Nimee finished second, Guilford wound up third, two-time PDTR-MSA 360 Sprint Car champion Travis Arenz of Sheboygan Falls charged up 16 spots from the 20th starting position to place fourth and Blackhurst finished fifth.
Filling in for his daughter, Miranda, Mike Sandholm grabbed the lead on the opening lap of the 25-lap PDTR B Mod A-main.
Sandholm held down a solid cushion over Brad Buckman of Kiel before the first of three caution flags appeared on lap 7 when Scott Quarnstrom of Lake Villa, Ill. spun in turn four.
Sandholm maintained the top spot on the restart as fifth starter Brandon Knepprath of Boltonville slipped into second place on lap 8 with Hunter Larson of Oshkosh, who started seventh taking over third.
The second caution flag appeared on lap 9 for a six-car incident in turn two. After fending off Larson’s challenge for second, Knepprath set his focus on tracking down Sandholm.
As the leaders hit slower traffic, Knepprath remained highly determined as he remained within striking distance when the third and final caution period occurred on lap 19. When the race resumed Knepprath stayed glued to Sandholm’s bumper and stayed there straight through to the finish.
However, Sandholm proved to have just enough to claim his first career PDTR B Mod main event victory. Knepprath finished a career-best second, Larson wound up third, 11th starter Travis Schmidt of Plymouth charged up from the 11th starting spot to finish fourth and Barrett Hummelmeier of Beaver Dam, advanced from the 12th starting position to place fifth.
Jake Blackhurst was the top qualifier in the IRA 410 Sprint Car ranks with a lap of 11.882 seconds.
Clayton Rossmann claimed fast qualifier honors in PDTR-MSA 360 Sprint Car group qualifying with a time 13.365 of seconds.
The eighth event of the 2024 PDTR campaign, which was sponsored by Hopf Farms, featured 72 total entries, including 28 IRA 410 Sprint Cars, 23 PDTR-MSA 360 Sprint Cars and 21 B Mods.
The next Plymouth Dirt Track Racing program on Saturday, Aug. 3 will feature the PDTR-MSA 360 Sprint Cars, Grand Nationals, B Mods, IRA Lightning Sprints and the High School Racing Association.
The program will also include the VanDerVart Concrete Coin and Candy Drop, along with a coloring contest, which will feature prizes for the winners.

HOMETOWN SPRINT CAR VICTORY FOR DALE BLANEY IS HIS 1ST OF 2024 AT SHARON; 1ST FOR JORDAN PERKINS IN STOCKS; KOLE HOLDEN (RUSH MODS) & JOE GABRIELSON (ECONO MODS)
July 27, 2024
By Mike Leone
(Hartford, OH)...Sharon Speedway was able to complete its fourth consecutive program during the month of July as sunshine and hot temps greeted race fans and teams on Saturday night for the annual "Bill Kirila Memorial". Celebrating in the Hovis Auto & Truck Supply victory lane for the "Super Series" program presented by Bala Management were Dale Blaney (Hovis Auto & Truck Supply "410" Sprint Cars), Jordan Perkins (Gibson Insurance Agency Pro Stocks), Kole Holden (HTMA/Precise Racing Products RUSH Sportsman Modifieds), and Joe Gabrielson (Whelen Econo Mods presented by Alcon Mechanical). It was Bucks Fabricating and Mark Thomas Ford Night.
Just when it appeared Dale Blaney's hall of fame career may be coming to a close, the Hartford, Ohio great had a rejuvenating 2023 season aboard Tiger Barris' #32B winning four features including three at Sharon. This season saw Blaney win at Lernerville giving him victories in 33 of his 35 years of racing "410" Sprint Cars. On Saturday night, Blaney led all 30 laps of the Hovis Auto & Truck Supply feature presented by Bala Management holding off sixth starting Cole Duncan for the $4,000 payday, and became the fourth different winner in four races this season.
"I wasn't very good getting started but was really good on the long runs," acknowledged the 60-year-old racer. "I didn't know where to start and spun really hard and thought he (Cole Duncan) had run. I didn't get through this corner very good, but I knew I needed to turn and cover that lane or else he was coming by. Cole is a really good race car driver and runs good when the track gets like this. Him and his dad have a real good package, but my car was really good. I thought I got through traffic really good. We came here with a little different setup than we normally do as we were trying something different for dad's race in three weeks to see if we can learn something and get things better."
Blaney raced into the lead overtaking pole-sitter Dan Kuriger at the start of the feature. Kuriger held down the runner-up spot until lap 11. Duncan, who considers Sharon one of his favorites tracks, was making his season debut at the Hartford, Ohio oval. Duncan actually fell back to seventh on lap two before cracking the top five on lap three. Duncan then worked his way forward and overtook Kuriger for second on lap 12. Duncan chased Blaney throughout the remainder of the event, but came up 0.453 seconds shy. Blaney's 21st career Sharon win came in the Barris Truck Service/Barris Supply/Atwell & Perrine Excavating/Top Shelf Trucking/McFarland Lumber-sponsored #32B.
Sixteenth starting Greg Wilson charged to the front and snuck by Dave Blaney on the last lap to finish third for an all Ohio podium! The elder Blaney was fourth after starting 13th. Kuriger dropped to fifth. Central Pa. invader Dylan Cisney was sixth as A.J. Flick, Dan Shetler, Brandon Matus, and Michael Bauer completed the top 10. Flick set fast time overall against the 28-car field in qualifying with a lap of 14.022. Heat winners were Dale Blaney, John Jerich, and Chris Verda, while Bob Felmlee won the last chance B main.
Last season Jordan Perkins captured his first career Sharon victory in the Pro Stocks. On Saturday night, Perkins returned to victory lane a little more than 13 months later for his second career win. Perkins passed 32-time winner Steve D'Apolito for good on lap 16 and led the remaining laps of the 20-lap Gibson Insurance Agency feature to become the third different winner in four races this season.
"Boy that was a heck of a race," expressed the 33-year-old New Castle, Pa. driver. "Even if I would have finished second I would have been happy the way our year has been and all the more we have gotten to race. I saw Steve (D'Apolito)'s passenger door a couple times. You can't follow cars so you have to try somewhere else and I put it on the top. There was still some moisture left up there after the Sprints. It was touch and feel up there. We made some changes on the car and found something that worked."
D'Apolito led the first 10 laps until losing the lead on lap 11 to Perkins. D'Apolito regained the lead on lap 15 hoping to end a long winless drought, but would lose the lead one lap later when Perkins drove on around. Perkins took the checkered flag first by 0.921 seconds over D'Apolito in his US Roll-Offs/Six Packs Bar & Grille/Four Star Pizza of New Castle/Denise Johnson/Stotish Racing Engines/Advance Auto Parts/Green Roof Rentals/Pagley Construction/Brian Watkins Landscaping-sponsored #13J.
Scott Stiffler came back from his opening lap spin to finish third. Seventy-two-year-old Larry Kugel went ninth to fourth to earn the $100 Summit Racing Equipment hard charger gift card. Jason Jones was fifth. Completing the top 10 were Jim Fosnaught, Russ Coyne, Jamie Duncan, Tony Bruno, and Paul Davis. D'Apolito and Davis won the heat races.
After going on a near five-year winless drought in the RUSH Sportsman Modifieds at Sharon until Kole Holden's victory on June 22, it didn't take the two-time track champion as long to return to victory lane. Holden passed Rob Kristyak on lap 15 and kept 12th starting Chas Wolbert at bay throughout the final laps of the HTMA/Precise Racing Products feature in a race that had three different leaders and four lead changes. The victory maintained Holden's lead in RUSH's $3,500 to-win Weekly Series Championship and also propelled him into the lead of the $1,000 to-win Wedge Motorsports "Route 7 Rumble" Series.
"I knew (Rob) Kristyak would be on the top of the track so it was no surprise when I saw him up there," explained the 25-year-old Tiona, Pa. resident. "I knew my car was good on the bottom so I just stuck right along the tires the whole race. I just stayed cool, calm, and hit my marks. Fortunately I was able to pull a couple car lengths on him and held on for the win."
Holden started second and led the opening lap until JC Boyer took a short-lived lead on lap two. Holden regained the lead back on lap three only to lose it on lap six to Kristyak. The sixth starting Kristyak was looking for his second straight lead and held down the top spot until lap 15 when Holden made the winning pass. Holden then outlasted Wolbert, the division's all-time winningest driver, by 0.788 seconds for his seventh career win in the Dana Holden-owned, Holden Resources/Car-Go Auto Parts/Troyer Dirt Cars/Falconer & Mancross Garage Service/Baker Motorsports-sponsored #2.
Kristyak was third after leading nine laps. Darin Gallagher was fourth as continued his strong runs with his third top four in four starts. Doug Rutana was fifth. Rounding out the top 10 were Ayden Cipriano, Boyer, Logen Lockhart, Jacob Jordan, and Jacob Rutana. Heat victors were Doug Rutana and Holden.
Former UMP Modified racer, Joe Gabrielson, captured his second win in three starts since moving to the Econo Mod division. Gabrielson inherited the lead with two laps to in the 20-lap Whelen feature presented by Alcon Mechanical after the top two cars of Coleton Longwell and Andy Buckley tangled. Gabrielson has now finished in the top two spots in his three feature starts this season.
"I like this division as it's a lot easier to drive these cars with 400 horsepower versus 700 and some that we had in the UMP class," revealed the 36-year-old Bristolville, Ohio driver. "I know we had some cautions and stuff there. I hate it for my buddy Coleton (Longwell). He was the car to beat, but those restarts are where it really happens on a race track like this. (Andy) Buckley got around him then he ended up getting into him and had to go to the tail, but that's racing and it happens. We ended up getting the lead and held Jeremy (Double) off. I was worried about Jeremy; he's the guy to beat in this class."
Gabrielson crossed the finish line first by 1.344 seconds over Jeremy Double in his Big Ed's Tire Service/McCool's Graphics/Wedge Motorsports/MB Customs-sponsored #58 for his 11th career win overall at Sharon for the nine-time UMP Mod winner. Double, who started fifth, has finished in the top four in all four starts this year, but has yet to get to victory lane to become the division's all-time winner.
Bryan Wagner crossed the finish line in third, but was disqualified for an illegal carburetor, which moved Brendan Warner to a career best Sharon finish of third. Sixteen-year-old Travis Carothers was a career best fourth as Dave Shagla, Jr. completed the top five. Chris Peterson was sixth over Gary Sullivan and Gary Olson. Cameron Nastasi, who has been racing Sprint Cars the last four years, returned to the Econo Mod division on Saturday and finished ninth beating out Longwell by 0.002 seconds to earn the $100 Performance Bodies nosed out contingency gift card. Double, Buckley, and Dennis Lunger, Jr. won the heat races over the 23-car field.
Coming up on Saturday (August 3) will be the return of the Hovis Auto & Truck Supply Big-Block Modifieds racing for $2,000 to-win. The Gibson Insurance Agency Pro Stocks will be competing in "Ray's Race" remembering the late Ray Virgile. The Billy's Garage RUSH Sprint Cars and the Whelen Econo Mods presented by Alcon Mechanical will also be on the card. Racing will get underway at 7 p.m.

Krummert continues winning ways in big Block modifieds; Jones wins first sprint feature in nearly 20 years in 305s; Gabany wins first of ‘24 in 602 crate mods; Callahan wins 21st career in minis.
By Jim Balentine (Mercer,Pa)
On a beautiful sunny warm late July, Saturday Michaels Mercer Raceway was
able to complete its fourth show of the year. Along with autograph night for the
racesaver 305s and the big block modifieds, Garrett Krummert continued his
winning ways in ‘24 by winning the big block modified feature; Rod Jones hopped
into his son Roman’s racesaver 305 sprint and picked up his first sprint car win
in nearly 20 years; Eric Gabany returned to victory Lane for the first time
since 2022 in the 602 crate modifieds; Tim Callahan won his 21st career mini
stock feature; the PA thunder on the dirt vintage modifieds were on hand as well
with a great turnout with former late model racer Wally Stock winning the
modified portion and Vincenzo Fiollo won the sportsman mod. The entire show was
completed by 11:02.
The big Block modifieds made their second appearance of the year and an
unsanctioned event and Garrett Krummert who started 4th won his six career in
the big blocks at Mercer. The slim 10 car field was led by Brad Rapp for the
first 2 laps until Krummert got around on lap 3. Krummert well then start to
pull away from the field with the wrap, not leaving him out of his eyesight, but
the real battle was for third fourth and fifth as a contested battle between
Rapp, last nights winner at Lernerville Rex King Jr, Canadian Tyler Willard, and
Will Thomas would thrill the crowd. Rapp would keep a small distance from the
others as they would slice and dice going 3 wide occasionally.
King Jr would then overtake Rapp on lap 23 as Thomas moved into 4th on lap
22. King was a little too late to catch Krummert as he won by a massive 5
seconds in the non stop 8 minute 25 lapper. Rapp would be 3rd, Thomas 4th and
Willard 5th. Krummert would say,”that was good starting up from helped but we
will take it!! we have run 2nd too much..we needed a win.. if your car is good
you can leave your car on the bottom and I have been coming here for about 20
years.. hopefully this turns things around so we can battle it out with Rex.”
The Jones family goes back to the first year of Mercer in 1951 and four
generations have competed at the famed speedway. 3rd generation driver and
veteran Rod Jones who has a 410 sprint win along with 29 mod lite features
hopped into his son Roman, a 4th generation’s Racesaver 305 sprint and picked up
his first victory in the class leading flag to flag. The race was marred by a
violent double flip on lap 3 involving Jeremey Kornbau and Greg Dobrosky as both
cars crashed hard into the wall in turn 2 flipping violently. Both drivers were
OK. On the restart Jones would take off again as former track champion Jake
Gomola would keep pace keeping Jones no further ahead than 1 second. last weeks
feature winner Andy priest would suffer motor problems in the seat race, and
have to start at the rear of the field in 16th place. Priest would methodically
move his way through the field getting up to 5th by lap 15.
Mike Koehler who made his first appearance from Williamsport, Pennsylvania
the home of the Little League World Series was impressive in his first run
battling against the long time Mercer regulars staying in the top 5 the entire
race. Another great battle occurred as Jim Pattock, Jarrett Rosencrance, and
Vivian Jones along with Koehler would utilize the wide surface trying to catch
the top 2. Priest would then move into 4th at lap 16 to challenge Koehler as
Vivian Jones would stay in 3rd. At the end Jones would hold of Gomola by 1.1
seconds and become the 4th different winner in 4 races! Koehler finished 3rd
ahead of Vivian Jones and Andy priest. When announcer Jim Balentine said that
the Jones’ are now the first father and 2 children team to each win a sprint
feature in the same division at Mercer since Lou,Dave and Dale have all won
sprint features there…Thats pretty cool!!” Rod would say, “Roman is going off to
college and he wanted to go with his buddies this weekend so I said I’ll drive!!
It’s been since 2016 since I was in the 305 class but as far as winning a sprint
feature…it’s been over 20 years!!”
Eric Gabany would lead from the pole to pick up his 17th 602 crate modified
feature at Mercer and also become the 4th different crate winner in 4 races.
Garrett Krummert doing double duty tonight would jump out of his feature winning
big block modified into the crate modified and from his six starting spot move
up to second by lap 10 in a thrilling inside pass of three other cars. Gage
Priester, Jim Bryce and Pat Lane would put on an exciting battle trying to catch
Gabany but did not see Krummert slowly moving into the mix. Krummert made a
daring inside move from turn 3 to 4 sliding into 2nd. Krummert would then try to
catch Gabany and hope for a caution but the rest of the race went caution, free
ending in 8.41 minutes and Gabany winning by 2.8 seconds. “Anytime Krummert
shows up you know he is going to be there but it wa a good run the car was
perfect and the track was beautiful!! Gabany would say, “After not winning last
year and this year you don’t know if it’s going to happen again so it’s good!!
Preister was 3rd, Jim Bryce 4th, and Pat Lane 5th.
22 mini stocks were scheduled to start the nightcapper but Joe Campbell was a
scratch after a fire erupted in the fuel cell in his heat race ending his night
early. Campbell was ok.
Corey Bice and Chaz Smith would be on the front row both looking for their
first career Mercer win. Bice would take the lead and held off the competition
until lap 7 when 20 time winner Tim Callahan would overtake Bice. Devin Haley
had another great run going in 3rd. Last weeks winner Andy Thompson would hit
the turn 2 wall on lap 9 ending his night.
On the restart Mike Kelly would go high in turn 2 and crash hard into the
outside wall with 2 wheels up on it. Kelly was ok. Chaz Smith who is improving
each week would climb back into 4th on lap 11 and would try to catch Haley.
Meanwhile up front Callahan would pull away and defeat Bice by 1.6 seconds to
win his 21st career mini stock feature. Haley would end up 3rd, Smith 4th and
Randy Ealy 5th. Callahan who is the sheriff of Mercer county would say ,”this
division has advanced so far each year it gets faster and faster we built the
car over the winter and been racing everywhere to try to get this car together.
We just don’t know the right tires or gearing but we got it together tonight.
This is a very competitive division!”
Next week will be the Al Priester memorial for the crate 602 modifieds as we
honor one of the longtime supporters of the speedway who passed away this May of
cancer. There will be a silent and a Chinese auction before the races behind the
grandstands

Winchester Speedway, Virginia
Kasey Weaver and Caleb Harris Double Up
Winchester Speedway hosted a unique event in that with forty sprinters signing in the owner decided we would split the field in to two groups and run two complete races for the field. Heat races kicked off the night with Reed Thompson and Landon Priced headed to feature one and Kolby Weaver and Zach Rhodes headed to feature two. On to feature one with Kasey Weaver and Ken Duke jr. pacing the field to green with Weaver out first and Duke right behind. The twenty-lap feature was going by fast and even after a couple quick yellows for spinners Weaver would stay steady and in control even with charges from Duke who was holding off Austin Reed. With one to go the front of the field was nose to tail but Kasey Weaver would not waver and flashed under the Checkered flag first. On to the second feature it with Dale Schweikart and Caleb Harris at the front as the green waved with Schweikart moving to the front and Harris staying second with Hunter McFadden and Fred Arnold right behind. Like the first feature even with a couple quick yellows for a stalled car and a spinner Schweikart was strong out front leaving the others to fight over the other top spots. With a few laps to go Schweikart showed his smooth quick pace and went under the white flag with a few car lengths cushion but going in to four headed for the checkered flag a stopped spun car was unavoidable and his night ended right there. On the re-start Caleb Harris took of and made no mistakes with the pressure from behind flashing under the waving checkered flag for his first win ever. At the line for Feature one it was Kasey Weaver, Ken Duke jr., Austin Reed, Brad Mellot, Drew Young, Landon Price, Reed Thompson, Colton Hendershot, John Scarborough, Daren Bolac, Jeff Weaver, Croix Beasom, Donnie Hendershot, Doug Dotson, Todd Lynn, Jarrett Cavalet, Kruz Kepner, Chris Humblet, Matthew Leach and Ben Miklos. Feature Two at the line it was Caleb Harris, Hunter McFadden, Fred Arnold, Ryan Lynn, Mike Melair, Braeden Varner, Dylan Shatzer, Colton Moyer, Jerald Harris, Paul Moyer, Matt Kline, Matt Mullins, Zach Rhodes, Kolby Weaver, Chris Ware, Dale Schweikart, John Smith, French Grimes, Jimmy Humblet and Aaron Leach. We want to thank Winchester Speedway for having our first two group feature race events and the stands had plenty of fans to let us show case our races. Next week it’s back to Hagerstown Speedway in Hagerstown, Md. On Saturday night August 3rd as all three series will be back racing again.
Thanks for your support Jim Haines Virginia Sprint Series IMCA Race Saver Sprint Series
Williamson, Weldon and Yeigh Produce Wins at Huset's Speedway During The Border Battle Presented by Nordstrom's Automotive
Inside Line Promotions - BRANDON, S.D. (July 28, 2024) - Garet Williamson, Gaige Weldon and Cory Yeigh drove to victory on Sunday at Huset's Speedway during The Border Battle presented by Nordstrom's Automotive.
Williamson used a late-race pass in traffic to capture the $7,500-to-win Cressman Sanitation 410 Outlaw Sprint Cars main event. He became the first repeat winner in the division at the track this season.
"That was probably the most fun I've had at this place or really anywhere," he said. "I peeked up and there was 10 to go and we were third or fourth. I drove the crap out of it. Oh man, that was a lot of fun."
Brendan Mullen led the first eight laps before Chase Randall took the lead in traffic on Lap 9. Randall's advantage was more than a second and a half when Williamson passed Mullen for second place on Lap 20. He rapidly closed on Randall a couple of laps later before pulling off a slide job in turns one and two on Lap 24 en route to the race win.
Randall finished second for the fourth time at Huset's Speedway this season.
"That one kind of stings a little bit," he said. "I'm proud of our progress tonight. It's really good to get another good finish, but it stings a little bit. I felt I let that one get away. I was getting too patient behind lapped cars."
Kerry Madsen rounded out the podium.
"I thought we had a great race car," he said. "It's great to get a podium."
Mullen placed fourth and Tim Kaeding ended fifth.
Gage Pulkrabek set quick time during qualifying before Matt Juhl, Justin Henderson, Kaeding and John Carney II won the heat races. Tyler Drueke was the B Main winner.
Weldon dominated the non-stop Wyffels Hybrids RaceSaver Sprint Car Series A Main, leading all 20 circuits for his first career triumph at the track. He is the ninth different division winner in nine races this season.
"It feels great," he said. "It means a lot. We've been trying for a couple of weeks now and haven't had very much luck."
Nicholas Winter posted a second-place showing with Ryan Serrao finishing third, Amelia Eisenschenk fourth and 12th-starting Brady Donnohue fifth.
Serrao, Cole Olson, Winter and Weldon were the heat race winners. Corbin Erickson scored the B Main victory.
Yeigh became the first driver to record three victories at Huset's Speedway this season as he topped the 20-lap Nordstrom's Automotive Late Model Street Stocks feature.
Brandon Ferguson led the first four laps before he caught the infield berm in turns three and four, turning him sideways. Points leader and fifth-running J.J. Zebell had nowhere to go and plowed into Ferguson.
Chris Ellingson inherited the lead and was out front for one lap before ninth-starting Yeigh drove around him on Lap 6. He paced the field on the bottom groove for the remainder of the race to win by 0.929 seconds.
Ellingson held off 12th-starting Matt Steuerwald for the runner-up result. Zach Olivier placed fourth and Billy Prouty was fifth.
Craig Hanisch and Kyle DeBoer recorded heat race wins.
Huset's Speedway will be dormant for the next three weekends until resuming competition on Aug. 25 for Royal River Casino Night showcasing The Bull Haulers Brawl Championship Night for Sprint Cars featuring the Cressman Sanitation 410 Outlaw Sprint Cars, the Nordstrom's Automotive Late Model Street Stocks and the Wyffels Hybrids RaceSaver Sprint Car Series.

Joey Ancona rockets to Ocean Sprints win Friday night in Watsonville
Watsonville, CA…Making just his second Ocean Speedway start of the season on Friday Night, Clayton’s Joey Ancona raced to his third career Taco Bravo Sprint Car victory, leading all but one lap in the feature.
Fellow winners on Friday evening were Tyler Tucker with the IMCA Sport Mods, Thomas Cumming with the Four Bangers and Bryant Bell with the visiting Western Midget Racing.
The Ocean Sprints presented by Taco Bravo main event began with Fresno traveler Kyle Rasmussen leading the opening night, before Ancona slipped by for the top-spot on lap two.
After that Ancona had his way with things out front, although Rasmussen stayed somewhat close over the duration of the contest. Several cautions slowed the flow, but Ancona hit his marks on every restart.
Ancona eventually crossed under the Ed Entz checkered flag to pick up the win ahead of Rasmussen, Ocean Sprints point leader Caleb Debem of Salinas, Jennifer Osborne from Geyserville and Oakdale’s Brad Dillard.
“We haven’t raced all that much this year, so it feels great to get a victory tonight in Watsonville,” said Ancona. “We have a lot of national races coming up out here, so we really wanted to get some laps before all that occurs. I want to thank my entire family and our sponsors for making it happen.”
The 20-lap IMCA Sport Mod finale featured some solid racing throughout the pack. Reigning Ocean Speedway champion Chuck Golden of Pittsburgh set the early pace up front.
Several drivers fought for position behind him however and kept the crowd on hand intrigued. A lap 15 restart changed the complexion of the race when Delhi driver Tyler Tucker blasted to the outside and grabbed the lead that he would never relinquish.
Tucker went on to score his initial Ocean win over Golden, Jason Ryan Jr., Chris Falkenberg and point leader Emali VanHoff.
The quiet riot Four Banger main event was all about San Jose’s Thomas Cumming, who drove away to earn his fourth victory of the season at Ocean Speedway.
Watsonville’s own Joshua Silva blasted to the lead at the waving and the green flag and held command over the first few circuits. Once Cumming got by though, that was all she wrote, as he crossed under the stripe by over two seconds over Silva, point leader Peter Vannerus, Ken Keegan and Nicole Beardsley.
Bryant Bell of Oakley, Calif. prevailed for his fourth consecutive Ocean Speedway Western Midget Racing win on Friday night, holding off Logan Mitchell of Santa Cruz to take the 20-lap feature.
Weisberg led the first 17-laps on a fast-paced Ocean Speedway fresh after track prep. 2023 champion Bryant Bell of Oakley, San Jose’s Anthony Bruno, and Santa Cruz’ Logan Mitchell hounded Weisberg in a tight formation. All three drivers pursuing Weisberg were previous winners in the WMR series, adding to the pressure of the situation for the second year Midget racer.
Bruno sailed inside of Bell for second in turn three but got sideways, allowing Mitchell to seize third on lap 15.
Weisberg’s bid for his first ever WMR victory ended when his No. 15 Stealth Chassis went up in smoke, setting up a three-lap shootout between Bell and Mitchell.
Bell outfoxed Mitchell over the final three circuits on the Santa Cruz County Fairgrounds dirt track for the win, followed by Mitchell, Bruno, Roseville’s Josh Young, and Las Vegas’ Kyle Hawse.
Ocean Speedway returns to action this coming Friday August 2nd with another four-division program. On tap will be the Ocean Sprints presented by Taco Bravo, IMCA Modifieds, IMCA Sport Mods and Hobby Stocks.

Must See Racing Perfit Sprint Car Series
SANDUSKY, Ohio (July 26, 2024) – Bobby Santos III kept his streak of perfection in the Must See Racing Perfit Sprint Car Series going by winning his third race in as many starts this season on Friday night.
Racing as part of the Fast Friday portion of Hy-Miler Supermodified Nationals week at Sandusky Speedway, Santos took the lead of the 30-lap feature from Charlie Schultz on a restart two laps prior to the halfway point.
From there, the Franklin, Mass., veteran grew his advantage to a full straightaway en route to his 10th career series victory – becoming just the fourth driver in history to reach double-digit wins and tying reigning champion Jason Blonde for third on the all-time list.
“The restarts in these cars are always unpredictable; the biggest thing is that Charlie is a good, clean racer and gave me plenty of racetrack so that the two of us could battle heads-up,” said Santos in victory lane. “Racing against competition like that is always valuable, and it’s cool to be part of Hy-Miler weekend with the sprints and supermodifieds racing on the same card.
“This is a great win for our team, and we’ll just keep working toward even more.”
Schultz did what he could to stay with Santos in the closing stages, but had to settle for second in the end. It was, however, the home-state driver’s best finish so far this season.
“I wouldn’t say that he [Santos] snookered me, but that he just had a better car,” said Schultz. “I just couldn’t get off the corner … in turn two, but to finish second after the season we’ve had so far … it feels like a win.”
Mike McVetta, who ran double duty by competing both with Must See Racing and the ISMA supermodifieds, finished third in the Dick Myers Racing sprinter after starting eighth.
Five-time series champion Jimmy McCune was fourth after having to drop to the tail for the initial start due to replacing a loose oil plug following his initial push start. Kevin Mingus closed the top five.
Sixth through 10th were Dorman Snyder, Luke Griffith, point leader Joe Liguori, Tom Geren, and fast qualifier Colton Bettis.
Bettis, the standout 14-year-old rookie driving for car owner Aaron Pierce, started off the evening with his first-ever Must See Racing Quick Time Award but was inverted to sixth in the feature lineup and fought a throttle linkage issue later in the race. He was the final driver to fall out and finished 10th.
Two-time defending Must See Racing Maxima Midwest Lights champion Cody Gallogly won the companion crate sprint car main event, using a restart on lap 13 of 25 to take the top spot from Andrew Bogusz and leading the rest of the way.
It was a special win for Gallogly, who was not only celebrating a birthday at the track, but whose stepson Blane was also assisting with the public address call of Friday’s Midwest Lights race.
“You can’t ask for much more than that,” Gallogly noted with a smile.
Bogusz hung on to finish second after leading the first 12 laps, with J.J. Henes completing the podium ahead of Sawyer Stout and Charlie Baur.
Polesitter Brandon Tregembo crashed in turn four with 12 laps complete, while running inside the top five, and failed to finish. He was credited with 12th in the final results.
Must See Racing teams head next to Ohio’s Midvale Speedway on Saturday, Aug. 3.

BRYANT BELL EARNS FOURTH CONSECUTIVE OCEAN SPEEDWAY WMR VICTORY
WATSONVILLE, CALIFORNIA (July 26, 2024) – Bryant Bell of Oakley, Calif.
prevailed for his fourth consecutive Ocean Speedway Western Midget Racing win on
Friday night, holding off Logan Mitchell of Santa Cruz to take the 20-lap
feature. Bell lifts his recent record to five wins in the last six WMR events as
well. A trip to Bell’s home track at Antioch Speedway looms on Saturday night as
the 2023 champion continues to lead the 2024 battle.
Watsonville’s Ocean Speedway action opened with Mitchell and San Jose’s
Anthony Bruno claiming the eight-lap heat races. Southern California racers Adam
Weisberg of Santa Clarita and Todd Hawse of Moorpark then shared the front row
for the main event.
Weisberg led the first 17-laps on a fast-paced Ocean Speedway fresh after
track prep. 2023 champion Bryant Bell of Oakley, San Jose’s Anthony Bruno, and
Santa Cruz’ Logan Mitchell hounded Weisberg in a tight formation. All three
drivers pursuing Weisberg were previous winners in the WMR series, adding to the
pressure of the situation for the second year Midget racer.
Bruno sailed inside of Bell for second in turn three but got sideways,
allowing Mitchell to seize third on lap 15.
Weisberg’s bid for his first ever WMR victory ended when his No. 15 Stealth
Chassis went up in smoke, setting up a three-lap shootout between Bell and
Mitchell.
Bell outfoxed Mitchell over the final three circuits on the Santa Cruz County
Fairgrounds dirt track for the win, followed by Mitchell, Bruno, Roseville’s
Josh Young, and Las Vegas’ Kyle Hawse.
“Shoutout to Adam to have a run like that. Keep your head up after having a
run like that,” Bell said. “Thank you to Tony Boscacci for busting his butt in
the shop. That’s where races are won."
Western Midget Racing continues Saturday night at Antioch Speedway, in
support of the Hunt Magnetos Wingless Sprint Cars. For more information visit

Ayrton Gennetten Attains Victory with POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprints at Lakeside Speedway
Kansas City, KS. (7/26/24) Ayrton Gennetten would use precision and precise
timing to snatch victory with the POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprint in the Sunflower State
Showcase presented by Start2Finish TV to notch his fifth league victory in an
outstanding feature event at Lakeside Speedway in the caution free feature
event.
Flying onto the smooth surface with talented entrants of the POWRi 410’s
would see Brian Brown set a quick qualifying time of 14.120-second lap with
Jason Martin and Xavier Doney each earning heat racing victories.
Captivating the crowd on the initial green flag start with high-point
qualifier Brian Brown and Ayrton Gennetten lined up in the front row as Brian
Brown would gain the lead on the opening lap with Ayrton Gennetten, Jason
Martin, Austin McCarl, and Blake Hahn all raced within the top five.
Showing speed after gaining the initial lead, Brian Brown would appear to be
the cream of the class as laps began to tick away at a rapid rate with Ayrton
Gennetten moving into second with Austin McCarl taking third with the top three
separating from the field.
Displaying outstanding action in an intense feature, late race dramatics
would rear as Ayrton Gennetten would catch the front-running Brian Brown with
five laps remaining as Austin McCarl would also show a nose on the low line for
the top position.
Sliding into the lead late, Ayrton Gennetten would set Brian Brown up to
perfection by showing low only to pass on the high side of turns three and four
with only three laps remaining as Austin McCarl would gain ground and move into
the runner up spot.
Leading the final revolutions, Ayrton Gennetten would not be denied in
earning his fifth career POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprint victory in an action-packed
main event with Austin McCarl hustling into the runner-up position late.
“I was working on Brian all race, Once that flagman showed five to go I knew
it was time to move.” said Ayrton Gennetten in the Kansas City Kansas victory
lane ceremony celebrations. Adding, “I knew we had a fast car all night and a
win like this shows just how far we have come as a team this year, what a fun
race”.
Challenging closely behind would find leader of twenty-two laps Brian Brown
placing on the final podium placement as Emerson Axsom would be among the
frontrunners all feature to fourth with Xavier Doney rounding out the top-five
finishers for the POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprints in the Sunflower State Showcase
presented by Start2Finish at Lakeside Speedway.

Randall and Halverson Triumphant at Jackson Motorplex During Merle Johnson Memorial Border Battle Presented by New Fashion Pork & SW Broadband
Inside Line Promotions - JACKSON, Minn. (July 26, 2024) - Chase Randall and Brandon Halverson collected the spoils of victory on Friday during the Merle Johnson Memorial Border Battle presented by New Fashion Pork & SW Broadband at Jackson Motorplex.
Randall captured the $7,000 top prize and a unique trophy for winning the Midwest Sprint Touring Series 410 Sprint Cars A Main.
"It's really special to win a really, really special race," he said. "I definitely felt a lot of pressure. Once I got to lapped traffic I was committed to the top in (turns) one and two. Once I got close to guys I felt myself slowing down and couldn't get off the corners. I was searching a little bit. I saw the bottom was still good in (turns) one and two. We were able to hold them off.
"We've been making a lot of gains the past couple of weeks on the bigger tracks. It's good to head into these next couple of weeks with a lot of momentum."
Randall led the distance of the 25-lap feature, but it wasn't without any drama. Traffic began to jumble things up in the final 10 laps as the top five began bunching together. Aaron Reutzel passed Garet Williamson for second place on Lap 20 and Scott Bogucki got by Williamson for third place two laps later. Bogucki then passed Reutzel down the backstretch on Lap 24, but when Reutzel slid in front of Bogucki entering turn three the two made contact. Bogucki endured a vicious flip that ended his night early and Reutzel finished toward the back of the pack as well.
Kaleb Johnson inherited second place for a green-white-checkered restart. Randall was smooth out front during the final two laps to win by 1.114 seconds and Williamson made a last-lap pass on Johnson to score a second-place result.
"We were good early on," Williamson said. "In traffic we really struggled with being balled up. Hats off to Chase and their whole crew. I struggled where to be at on the track. Luckily I got by Kaleb to get back up the podium. To be on the podium is nothing to hang our heads about. Second stings, but we'll build on it."
Johnson's third-place effort marked his third podium outing in as many starts at Jackson Motorplex this season.
"I'm a little upset with myself on that last corner," he said. "I drove it too hard and let Garet get by me. Congrats to Chase and the No. 2ks team."
Matt Juhl finished fourth after starting 10 th and 11th-starting Christopher Thram was fifth.
Kerry Madsen and Randall were quickest in their qualifying groups before the heat races were won by Johnson, Brooke Tatnell, Bogucki and Dusty Zomer. Tim Estenson was the B Main winner.
Halverson held the lead throughout the 20-lap Wyffels Hybrids RaceSaver Sprint Cars presented by Heser Auto & Detailing main event. It marked his first winged sprint car win at the track.
"Steve Stoermer allowed me to drive this car tonight and it's the best 305 sprint car I've ever sat in," he said.
Jacob Peterson reeled in Halverson as traffic neared on Lap 8, but a caution slowed the race. Halverson built more than a one-second advantage following the restart before Peterson closed to within two tenths of a second as Halverson was stymied while trying to lap a fellow competitor with only a handful of circuits remaining. However, Halverson was able to make the move in the waning laps and hold on for the victory by 0.462 seconds.
Peterson placed second with Jeremy Kerzman ending third. Brett Allen was fourth and Brandon Bosma advanced from 13 th to fifth.
Jake Greenwood, Mathew Jasper, Brandon Buysse, Kerzman and Allen were the heat race winners. Hunter Hanson and Tyler Rabenberg recorded B Main victories.
The next event at Jackson Motorplex is the FENDT Jackson Nationals, which runs Aug. 15-17 and showcases the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series.

Kalib Henry wins nail-biter for 1st Attica 410 win; Moore nips Bores for 3rd straight late model victory; Miller nurses engine to 6th 305 win
Friday, July 26, 2024
By Brian Liskai
ATTICA, Ohio – Sacramento, California’s Kalib Henry out-dueled Cap Henry to score his first 410 sprint win at Attica Raceway Park on Ohio Truck sales/Adkins Group Night, Friday, July 26. Henry, who started sixth in the 30-lap A-main, took the lead from the defending track champion on lap seven and held off several challenges from Cap Henry to score the win.
“Boss man and everybody back home are super happy. I can’t thank Doc and Rebecca enough for the opportunity they’ve given me. Nate for cheering us along back home and all my family that’s back home…going to see you guys in two weeks. Hats off to Kevin. He gave us a hell of a race car. I really didn’t know where to be out front in lapped traffic. I give credit where credit is due. Cap raced me hard, he raced me clean. We struggled here quite a bit. Drew the six and didn’t know what to expect the way the track was. I knew when Cap struck his nose in there I had to turn it up and move around and see what I could do,” said Henry beside his Running Boxer Farms, Harris Distributing Company, Valvoline, K1, Berryman Racing Shocks, Chalkstix backed #101.
The victory in the Callie’s Performance Products 410 A-main is the third of the year for Kalib Henry, adding to a pair of victories at Fremont Speedway.
For Cap Henry it was a good point night in his quest to earn another Attica track title and a second straight All Pro Aluminum Cylinder Heads/Kistler Racing Products Attica Fremont Championship Series presented by the Baumann Auto Group title. AFCS and Attica point leader Cale Thomas finished fourth behind DJ Foos while TJ Michael rounded out the top five.
While the scorecard will show Mansfield, Ohio’s Kyle Moore lead all 25 laps of the Whistle Stop Presents the Dirt Nerd Podcast Powered by Propane UMP Late Model Feature, it was not nearly that easy. Mike Bores came on strong and challenged Moore lap after lap but Moore hit his marks and drove to his third straight feature win at Attica over Bores, Rusty Schlenk, Casey Noonan and Devin Shiels. It’s Moore’s fourth career win at Attica…all of them coming this season.
In fact, since the opening two weeks of the season, Moore has not finished out of the top three to lead the track’s point standings.
“They say the first win is the hardest to get and it was. Last year I probably should have had one or two of them and got passed in the last corner. This is a dream,” said Moore beside his Kepling Flooring, Tye Tworg Longhorn, Joyride Transportation, Smitley Towing, Short Stop, Malcuit Race Engines, Wilson Realty, Robin Jakubick, RL Bond Septic, Hepthorn Golf Cart Sales, House of Spud, K&B Septic Service, Coffman Composites, Team Midwest Paint, Platinum Design backed #1*.
Fremont, Ohio’s Jamie Miller knew his engine was hurt in his 305 sprint car after his heat race. A call to his engine builder – who told him to put block sealer in it and pray – didn’t ease his mind any. However, the four time and defending Attica track champion was able to nurse his car home for his sixth win of the year at the track. Of the 12 features at Attica in 2024, Miller has only finished out of the top five in one event, a 17th place finish on the second night of the year.
Jimmy McGrath led the opening lap of the Fremont Fence 305 Sprints feature before Miller took over. Despite several cautions Miller was able to drive to his 45th career win at Attica over Bryan Sebetto, Dustin Stroup, McGrath and Logan Riel.
The win also pads Miller’s lead in the NAPA of Bryan Attica Fremont Championship Series presented by Jason Dietsch Trailer Sales points as he looks for his first title in the series.
“We knew we had a problem after the heat. The oil pan was full of water. We called Scott Gressman and he told us to put block sealer in it and heat it up. It got up to 270 degrees in the feature…I don’t know how it made it,” said Miller beside his Boca Construction, JLH General Contractors, Kenny Kelb Farms, Tuck Pointing America, Queen of Clean, Smitty’s Pizza, Roberts & Sons Contracting, Pizza Wheel, Crown Battery, Reedtown Tavern, Fostoria Mod Shop, Sandy’s Dad, Gressman Powersports, Phil Rister, Slade Shock Technology backed #26.
Attica Raceway Park will take a couple of weeks off for the Attica Independent Fair before returning Friday, Aug. 16 with the AFCS 410 and 305 sprints and UMP late models in action.

Reutzel and Goos Jr. Hustle to Jackson Motorplex Wins During The Livewire Printing Company 360 Shootout Presented by Tweeter Contracting
Inside Line Promotions - JACKSON, Minn. (July 25, 2024) - Aaron Reutzel and Lee Goos Jr. charged to victories on Thursday evening at Jackson Motorplex, which hosted The Livewire Printing Company 360 Shootout presented by Tweeter Contracting.
Reutzel powered from the fourth starting position into the lead on the opening lap and never looked back during the 25-lap Gunderson Racing Inc. Midwest Sprint Touring Series/Midwest Power Series 360 Sprint Cars Wieskus Memorial. Cautions on Lap 7 and Lap 12 bunched the field together, but Reutzel was strong on the restarts as well as navigating through traffic to win by 3.357 seconds.
"The track was phenomenal," he said. "Hats off to the track crew there. It was a good crowd tonight. It's an awesome night.
"It's awesome to win memorial races; to honor someone, it's great. It's a big deal when you're name's on a memorial race."
Cameron Martin earned a second-place result, which is his career-best outing at Jackson Motorplex.
"We've always been really fast here and it's finally good to put a full night together," he said.
Kaleb Johnson rounded out the podium.
"I'm happy with it," he said. "A third-place run is very good for our team, especially starting seventh. I'm proud of this team. It's a big memorial race tomorrow night and I'm looking forward to it."
Chase Randall finished fourth and Tanner Holmes was fifth.
Reutzel set quick time during qualifying before Matt Juhl, Martin and Chris Martin posted heat race wins.
Goos Jr. put on a show during the 20-lap Wyffels Hybrids RaceSaver Sprint Cars presented by Heser Auto & Detailing main event as he rallied from 16 th to score the impressive triumph.
Johnny Sullivan paced the field for the first dozen laps. Meanwhile, Goos Jr. climbed into seventh by the first caution of the race on Lap 3. He took over the runner-up position following a restart on Lap 10 before he made the race-winning pass on the bottom exiting turn two on Lap 13. Goos Jr. pulled away to win by 2.159 seconds.
"I think I just got a little bit lucky," he said. "Those starts were great for me. Nine cars in two laps, that's what really helped. I figured we'd be lucky to crack the top 10."
Sullivan finished second with Koby Werkmeister placing third. Jeremy Kerzman was fourth and Joe Miller ended fifth.
Brandon Allen, Bill Johnson, Werkmeister, Matt Johnson and Miller were the heat race winners. Goos Jr. and Dylan Waxdahl posted B Main victories.

Three Straight for Gorden on Speedweek
7/24/24
By Kaleb Hart
Lebanon, OR - After four rounds of the 2024 Northern Speedweek Tour “Tribute to Fred Brownfield”, Dominic Gorden has established himself as the man to beat following a third straight win at Willamette Speedway on Wednesday night.
Tyler Thompson looked like he would have a hometown crowd leaving happy as he set out to a decent sized lead. While Thompson was leading, Gorden worked on chasing him down, experimenting with multiple race lines and finding excellent forward drive off the bottom of turn four. With slower traffic looming, Thompson left the low side open off turn four on lap 19 and Gorden took advantage, making the race winning pass off the corner. Thompson would rally back for one more shot at Gorden coming to the checkered flag but in the end, it was Gorden taking the $3,000 top prize. Thompson settled for his third straight runner up finish and Dominic Scelzi was third for the second straight race.
Robbie Price was fast time on the night, just a couple of tenths off a track record at 12.370 seconds. Heat race wins went to Luke Didiuk, Thompson and Scelzi.
Gorden leads the current speedweek points and the pass master standings.

“Racing Back to School Night” held at Double X Speedway.
The annual “Racing Back to School Night” at Double X Speedway was held Sunday July 21, 2024. This annual event organized by The Tyler Utz family and racing friends provides back packs full of school supplies to all school age kids in attendance at the evening’s races. For 2024 organizers had almost 200 backpacks available for distribution. In addition to the school supply giveaway there was also some great racing action on the track for fans enjoyment as well.
The night saw the return of the 305 Winged Sprint Cars, courtesy of Clennin Farm Supply, to Double X for the final time in 2024. With rain showers around the mid Missouri area, a field of 31 cars and drivers signed in for the evening.
The Super Stocks led off the evening’s competition with two heat races. In the first heat veteran Dale Berry moved to the early lead and was in control through lap four when he got against the back stretch wall. Clayton Campbell, who had been chasing the leader since the start took over the top spot with Eddie Keeran and Adam Halley giving chase. At the checkered it was Campbell leading Keeran and Berry across the stripe. Adam Halley and John Shane completed the field. Heat two saw the division points leaders on the front row. James Nighswonger took the lead on the drop of the green with Steve Beach applying pressure. A lap four caution for Ryan Shikles bunched the field as the #409 retired to the pit area. Nighswonger would sail to the victory with Beach in second and Fred Kilmer in third. In the 305 Sprint Car action, quick Jack Thomas of Bates City picked up where he left off on his last visit to Double X winning the heat race over Tipton, MO driver Brett Combs. Veteran Randy Martin charged from seventh to third at the stripe, Tyler Elliott was fourth and Natalie Doney completed the top five. The 360 Winged Sprint Cars completed two heat races for their opening act. In heat one it was Australian Todd Moule bringing the “Sunday Night Thunder from Down Under” taking the win in comfortable fashion. Samuel Wagner would finish second with Taylor Walton taking the number three spot, Jack Wagner would finish fourth and Aubrey Smith completed the top five. In the second heat, point leader Ben Brown would take the win with Garrett Benson in second. Broc Elliott was end his race long charge in the third spot with Miles Paulus fourth and Natalie Doney in fifth.
The Super Stock Feature led off the second half of the evening’s card. With hard chargers James Nighswonger and Clayton Campbell on the front row the race would shape up to be a good one. After a close side by side duel with Campbell low and Nighswonger high for the opening circuits, Nighswonger would gain a small advantage until a lap eight caution would bring the field to the rear bumper of the #44. On the restart Nighswonger held the lead but a bobble in turn two allowed Campbell to pull alongside. The #44 of Nishwonger stayed committed to the low line so Campbell went to the cushion keeping his momentum up. The white flag waved as the leaders sped into turn one the #44 on the bottom and the #30C on the cushion. Exiting turn two Nighswonger washed up the track and Campbell pounced turning off the cushion down the track and makes the pass down the back stretch. Nighswonger would close but Campbell held on for a win by less than a car length. Eddie Keeran drove a strong race to take home the third spot, with Dale Berry taking fourth and Steve Beach completing the top five. Fred Kilmer and Adam Halley completed the running order.
The middle event on the feature card was the 305 Winged Sprint Car Feature event. “Fast” Jack Thomas of Bates City put his #63 to the point and looked to be on cruise control. The first ten laps went by quickly before a caution for the #5T of James Turnbull brought out the events first caution closing the field on the rear bumper of the leader. On the restart cagy veteran Martin pulled alongside the #63 in turn two but the leader pulled ahead in turn three. The second caution flew after lap 11 was complete as Brett Combs got over the cushion in turn 4 and looped it around. As the green flag racing resumed the running order was unchanged. Natalie Doney started pressuring Tyler Elliott for the third spot and Brett Combs started to work his way back up the ranks. The feature would stay green the duration of the event with Thomas picking up another win at Double X. Randy Martin would finish second, Natalie Doney finished a strong third, Tyler Elliott was fourth, Doug Fry crossed in fifth and Brett Combs completed the running order in sixth.
The 360 Winged Sprint Cars wrapped up the evening as they always do. Aussie invader Todd Moule making his first visit to Double X starts on the pole alongside weekly competitor Ben Brown. Moule would set the pace running the cushion as Brown would put on the pressure, briefly taking the lead on lap six but the Aussie would power back by. A caution after lap seven would bunch the field. Moule would take off on the restart and open an 8 car length lead over Brown but a caution on lap 12 would slow the pace once again. Back to green flag racing and Brown makes a strong bid on the bottom but Moule would keep the momentum with his right rear dancing on the cushion. Brown would keep digging and on lap 22 take over the top spot. A caution one lap later would see Moule retire to the pit area. Brown would lead the distance to pick up the victory with Garrett Benson claiming the runner up and Broc Elliott finishing out the podium in third. Casey Shuman would post a season best fourth place and Taylor Walton finished fifth.
Nest week the B Modifieds will make their final appearance of the season at Double X, joining the 360 Winged Sprints and the Super Stocks. Sunday August 4 will conclude the season for 2024 at Double X Speedway. The Super Stocks, Pure Stocks and 360 Winged Sprint Cars will be in competition.

Shane Golobic wins Speedweek finale at Placerville/ Andy Forsberg brings home championship
By Gary Thomas
Placerville, CA…A dramatic battle for the SCCT Speedweek title came right down to the wire on Saturday, which saw Auburn’s Andy Forsberg fend off Oakley’s Dylan Bloomfield by four slim points to wrap up the championship.
Fremont’s Shane Golobic also held off a hard-charging Justin Sanders of Aromas to win a thrilling Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour main event at Placerville Speedway on Saturday night. Colfax driver Ben Wiesz brought home victory in the Nor-Cal Dwarf Car Association feature.
The 35-lap SCCT Speedweek finale showcased an entertaining contest with action all over the Placerville Speedway bullring. Golobic jumped out front at the waving of the Ron Stahl green flag, as he looked to make it three wins in a row during SCCT Western Sprint Speedweek.
The action behind him was as good as it gets however, with Andy Forsberg and Dylan Bloomfield locked into several battles while going after the overall championship. Plenty of side-by-side racing was seen and positions changed on the the regular during the main event.
The Speedweek title also switched hands on several occasions, while the race for the top-spot heated up as well. Aromas driver Justin Sanders closed in on Golobic as lapped traffic came into play. The fight for the race win and the Speedweek victory kept fans on the edge of their seats in the waning laps.
Sanders hounded Golobic and looked to find a way past but couldn’t get an opening as Golobic grabbed his third Speedweek win in a row. It marked his 16th career SCCT triumph, which ranks number one all-time. Lincoln’s Tanner Carrick had also closed in on the front duo over the closing laps and on the final corner, made the move to nip Sanders at the line for second.
Sanders, Hanford’s Michael Faccinto and High Sierra Industries Dash winner Austin Wood completed the top-five. Rounding out the top-10 were Chance Grasty, Pit Stop USA Hard Charger Sean Becker, Dylan Bloomfield, Andy Forsberg and Colby Copeland.
As the race wound down, Bloomfield looked to be in position for the SCCT Speedweek title but caught the cushion a couple times and lost just enough spots to allow Forsberg the opportunity.
When all was said and done, Forsberg brought home the $3,000 championship by just four points over Bloomfield, and 14-markers ahead of Shane Hopkins, who also gave it a valiant run all week long. Corbin Rueschenberg and Colby Copeland finished fourth and fifth respectively in the week-long race.
Dunnigan’s Luke Hayes began the evening by earning his first career Sierra Foothills Wine Services Fast Time Award, pacing the 28-car field with a lap of 11.029.
The Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour will now take an extended break, before resuming things on Saturday September 21st with the annual Adobe Cup at Petaluma Speedway. Placerville Speedway returns to action this coming Saturday July 27th with the annual Carnett Clash.

Bard’s Scores First Career 410 Sprint Victory on Familiar Turf
Mill Hall, PA - Garrett Bard of Wells Tannery, PA earned his first career 410 Sprint Car victory at a track that he is very familiar. Bard is a two-time track champion at the 1/3 mile oval in the RaceSaver Sprint Car division. He has supported every 410 show held at Clinton, since moving to the premier division, and earned the win over Mark Smith of Sunbury and Chris Frank of Wellsville. Colton Friese of Spring Run won the East Coast Legends and Zak Kline won the 4 Cylinders.
Mark Smith and Garrett Bard led the field of sprint cars to the green flag for the start of the 25 lap feature event. Smith led the first two circuits until Bard powered around the outside to make a pass for lead. By the completion of lap number five, Bard was leading, Smith, Chris Frank, Chad Trout and Josh Beamer. The first caution of the event occurred on lap number eighteen as the leaders had just started racing through lapped traffic. The caution occurred for JT Ferry who stopped on the speedway. Bard held off the challenges of Smith for two more laps, when the caution flag came out again when Dakota Schweikart’s car spun.
Bard once again raced hard into turns one and two with Smith, Frank, Trout and Beamer in the top five. Bard quickly caught the rear of the field once again and began to weave this way through lapped traffic. On lap number 20, Trout and Beamer were in a contested battle for the fourth postion. Beamer managed to secure fourth place on lap number 21.
Bard crossed the line with a margin of victory of 2.4 seconds over Smith, Frank, Beamer, and Trout. Australian Jessie Attard finished sixth followed by Ryan Smith, Dale Blaney, Tyler Rutherford, and Dale Schweikart. Heat races were won by Mark Smith, Bard, Schweikart, and Beamer. Mark Smith set fast time with a lap of 12.631.
Justin Wagaman and Grady McGrew were the front row starters for the East Coast Legends feature event. Fourth place starter, Colton Friese raced his way to the front by the completion of lap number one. McGrew held the second spot and Dalton Friese was running in third. Dalton Friese moved into the runner up postion on lap number four with Scott Houdeshell taking over the third spot. The next lap, Houdeshell took the runner up postion.
On lap number 7 the caution came out for Dalton Friese. With the restart, Colton Friese was again quick on the gas with Houdeshell, Grady McGrew in tow. As the laps winded down, Colton Friese held his postion out in front to lead every lap and earn his second win of the season at the speedway. Houdeshell, McGrew, Justin Wagaman and Scott Spidle rounded out the top five. Sixth through tenth were Dave Benner, Hunter McElroy, Daren Lucas, Dalton Friese and Eric Hurst. Heat races were won by Colton Fries and Dalton Friese

By the completion of lap number four, Zak Kline raced this way to the front and made a pass for the lead as Coty Maines moved into second place, shuffling Stringfellow back to third place. A three car incident on lap number eight slowed the field, with Kline leading the way for the restart. Kyle Laughbaugh, who started 15th raced his way up to third by lap number ten. Kline held off Maines for the win, over Laughbaugh, Terry Karicher and John Stringfellow. Sixth through tenth were Garrett Lucas, Chase Weaver, Dalton Lucas, Kyle Strouse and Matt Weaver.

Flick Comes From the Back to Get Sprint Car Victory; Reitz, Rehbergen, and Laskey Also Score at Tri City Raceway Park
(Franklin, PA July 21, 2024): A.J. Flick came from the rear to win the final tune-up for the Krill Recycling 410 Sprints before the FAST on Dirt Sprint Series event coming up at the Tri City Raceway Park. Also joining him in Victory Lane were Chad Reitz (21st Century Energy Group 358 Modifieds), Brent Rhebergen (4 Your Car Connection RUSH Sprint Cars), and Rod Laskey (Hovis Auto & Truck Supply Pro Stocks).
Tyler Esh and Andy Priest paced the Krill Recycling 410 Sprint Cars to the start of the twenty-five laps for the A Main. Denny Peebles and Logan McCandless were in row two, with Jeremy Weaver and Bob Felmee right behind. Jack Sodeman, Jr. and last week’s winner, Mark Smith, aligned in row four. Body McClintock and Vivian Jones made up row five. Then came Andy Cavanaugh and Nathan McDowell. Starting in sixteenth was two-time and defending track champion, A.J. Flick.
Newcomers Esh and Priest led the way on the opening lap. Weaver, McCandless, and Peebles were in the top five. They were followed by Smith, Felmlee, Flick, Vivian Jones, McClintock, and Roman Jones.
Priest did a complete 360 spin in turn two just three laps into the event, but he was able to keep his car moving. The call was made for a flagman’s caution, so Priest regained his position for the restart.
Three laps later, a caution for Aaron Murano closed the field up again. Esh still held control when the race resumed, followed by Priest, Smith, Flick, McCandless, and Weaver trailed him.
Then next fifteen laps were completed under the green. By lap fifteen, Flick advanced to second, and he had the leader in his sights. Two laps later, the front three cars were running nose-to-tail as they tried to negotiate through lapped traffic.
Flick remained in second, and he gained the lead on lap nineteen. Just one lap later, the final caution was displayed for a spin by Dusty Larson at the entry to turn two.
Flick had Smith on his tail for the last restart, but Flick got away cleanly. Smith got second, ahead of McCandless, Esh, and Priest. Weaver, Sodeman, Peebles, Felmlee, and McClintock rounded out the top ten.
Taking the wins in the pair of Krill Recycling Sprint heat races were Jeremy Weaver and Andy Priest. There was no B Main.
Chad Reitz used a lap eight restart to pass Jimmy Holden on the inside of turn one to lead the way in the 21st Century Energy Group 358 Modifieds. Reitz remained out front for the final dozen laps to get the win.
Max Smoker returned to the speedway after a long absence. He was on the pole, with Jimmy Holden by his side. Reitz and Hayden Holden made up row two. They were followed by Jeremy Beichner and Frank Guidace. Ryan Riffe and Makayla Shannon occupied row four. The final row matched Troy McGregor and Garrett Krummert.
Jimmy Holden rode the cushion in turns one and two to take the early lead ahead of Reitz, Smoker, Hayden Holden, and Guidace. The first five remained in that order through the first caution, on lap seven, for McGregor. Another caution slowed the pace on lap eight.
The lap eight restart created the opportunity for Reitz to slip into the lead. Jimmy Holden stayed in second, ahead of Smoker, Guidace, and Beichner.
The final caution came out on lap fifteen for McGregor. Reitz drove away from the field on the restart. The contested position was fourth, with Guidace looking high and low to try to overtake Smoker.

Gordon Wins Hall of Fame Battle Royal, Night Two of Speedweek at Grays Harbor Raceway
7/21/24
Elma, WA - Big wins have been piling up for Dominic Gordon of Clovis, CA this past month but none have been bigger than a win at Grays Harbor Raceway in the 360 Hall of Fame Battle Royal. The win on night number two of the Northwest Speedweek Tour paid $5,000 to win.
Dominic Scelzi led the feature for the first 13 laps before he slowed with an unknown mechanical issue in turn two. This turned the lead over to Dominic Gordon, who despite the best efforts of Tyler Thompson, would go the rest of the distance to take the win. Thompson made a couple of charges at Gordon, while also having to keep Colton Heath at bay to roll to a second place finish while Heath was third. The first three heat race wins went to Robbie Price, Levi Kuntz and Jordi Meese, while the second set of heat race wins went to Johnny Burke, Chase Goetz and Colton Heath.
The 2024 Northwest Speedweek Tour “Tribute to Fred Brownfield” continues on to Southern Oregon Speedweek on Tuesday night. Full Speedweek points as well as an update to the Pass Master points will post shortly

Danny Varin Gets It Done at Albany-Saratoga
By Curtis Berleue (Malta, NY) | As the summer months keep rolling on, Danny Varin keeps getting hotter and hotter, earning his second Empire Super Sprints victory in a row and third of the 2024 season on Friday night at Albany-Saratoga Speedway.
Pinnacle Pole Award winner Emily VanInwegen and Shawn Donath would bring the field to green, with Donath using the outside to his advantage and leading lap one.
As the lap counter clicked lap 5, it was still Donath out in front, with Jordan Poirier in second and Billy VanInwegen in third. By lap 7. Donath had caught the tail of the field and began to work lap traffic with Poirier hot on his heels.
A caution on lap 11 for leader Shawn Donath with mechanical issues handed the lead to Poirier. On the ensuing restart Poirier jumped out to the lead. Danny Varin, who had restarted in 6th, got a huge run off turn 2 and by the time he reached turn 3 was in second.
The next lap, Varin threw a slide job on Poirier, took the lead and began to check out from the rest of the field.
With 5 laps to go, the battle for third began to heat up between Davie Franek and Jason Barney. Barney was able to clear Franek, but just one lap later Matt Tanner slipped past Barney and set his sights on second place running Poirier. With a lap to go, Tanner got by Poirier for second, but it was Varin who crossed the finish line first, by a margin of just over 4 seconds.
“What a phenomenal racetrack,” said Varin. “That was elbows up, pounding the cushion, slidejob city. We’ve been leading five features here, and never finished one. This has been a long one coming.”
“That cushion was treacherous, you try to run it hard but you knew you could jump it, and be over it. You had to be patient, you’re leading, and let someone show you their nose before you put everything out there.”
Matt Tanner crossed the line in second after a last lap pass on Jordan Poirier.
“We were pretty bad all night, the guys just kept plugging away at it there,” said Tanner. “Even the first 15 laps of this race we weren’t that good. Three seconds in a row is starting to get old, but at least we’re in the hunt.”
After spending much of the race running second, Jordan Poirier rounded out the Ashley Lynn Winery podium in third.
“We weren’t too good early on, after that yellow the first two laps I was good and then I started getting loose in three and four,” said Poirier. “I tried to venture out, I tried to find some other lane and I just couldn’t do anything. By the end, I was just trying to block and do something. We’re just a tiny bit off or something.”
22 cars signed into the pits for action on the night. Rifenburg Contracting fast time awards went to Jordan Thomas, Danny Varin and Jordan Poirier. Matt Tanner, Danny Varin and Davie Franek picked up E&V Energy heat race wins, while Dale Gosselin won the We Know Tools – Paul Wehnau Snap-on dash.

Danny Varin Continues Sprint Car Dominance at Fonda Speedway
By Curtis Berleue (Fonda, NY) | For the 8th time in the last 9 trips to the Fonda Speedway for the Empire Super Sprints, it was Danny Varin sitting in victory lane at the end of the night. Leading 17 of 25 laps, Varin earned $2,000 for his victory Saturday night, which was also his third tour win in a row and fourth on the season.
Josh Pieniazek and Billy VanInwegen brought the field to green, with Pieniazek taking the lead off of turn two. That lead was short lived, however, as VanInwegen fought back on the outside in turns three and four to lead lap one.
A red flag for an incident in turn one on lap one put Pieniazek and VanInwegen side-by-side again on the ensuing restart, though this time it was Pieniazek who jumped out to the lead. Danny Varin made quick work of VanInwegen and moved into the second spot with two laps down.
For the next handful of laps, Varin stalked the #9 of Pieniazek, searching around the track for a little more speed. Working the bottom on lap 8, Varin was able to get alongside Pieniazek entering turn 3 and by the time the duo reached the flag stand, Varin was in sole possession of the lead.
With Varin checked out on the field, VanInwegen continued working on finding his way around Pieniazek for second place, and was successful on lap 15. Just one lap later, Jordan Thomas would also find his way by Pieniazek and take over third.
For the second time in two nights, Varin had completely checked out on the field and crossed the finish line first uncontested with a 6 second margin of victory.
“I tell you what, my arms are ready to fall off,” said Varin. “What a fun race track. It was touch and go on the bottom, but man that was fast.”
“This team has been firing on all cylinders. We feel really good, 87 Speed has got us really rolling. These guys are making all of the right adjustments in the pits. It’s easy to dial yourself out, but right now these guys are doing a really good job.”
Billy VanInwegen brought his #10V machine home in second place.
“Danny has dominated this place for so many years, so to run second to him, we can’t hang our head about that,” said VanInwegen. “I really wish we could have closed that one out, I think we had a great race car tonight.”
Finishing third was Harding, Pennsylvania’s Jordan Thomas.
“We’ve been pretty fast the last couple of weeks, Speedweek we were fast every night,” said Thomas. “Luck didn’t go our way that week, and here we are again, last night we were fast, and again tonight.”
“I think it would have been tonight to make any moves, Danny’s so fast and everyone kinda has this place figured out.”
The field was split into two timed hot lap groups to start the night, with Jordan Thomas and Danny Varin earning Rifenburg Fast Time awards. E&V Energy heat races were won by Jordan Thomas and Davie Franek, while Kyle Smith won the One Zee Tees dash.

Spithaler sizzles and Rudolph rumbles to twin $3000 410 sprint and BRP modified Michaels memorial wins. Priest(305 sprints), Cipriano (crate mods) and Thompson (minis) return to victory lane.
By Jim Balentine (Mercer,Pa)
On a beautiful mid July Saturday night, Michaels Mercer Raceway held the Michaels memorial which featured twin $3000 to win events for the 410 sprint cars and the BRP modified tour. Brandon Spithaler would take a popular win in the 410 Sprint cars and Erick Rudolph would capture another BRP modified tour win. Veteran Andy priest would dominate the racesaver 305 sprint car feature for his 14th career 305 win, Aiden Cipriano would capture his third career 602 crate modified Mercer feature, and Andy Thompson would return to victory Lane in the mini stocks, capturing his 19th career mini stock feature. 100 cars in 5 divisions would grace the pit area.
22 410 cars would compete for the 3000 to win special with Mark Smith who won last weekend in Western Pennsylvania and Dan Kuriger on the front row. Kuriger would take the lead from the start and would hold Smith at bay for the first half of the race leading by 1.5 seconds at one point. Brandon Spithaler who was driving a borrowed Brent Matus sprint car who was on his way to win a lernerville the previous night until he lost control over turn number three began closing in from his fourth starting position on the 2 leaders. On lap 14 in the nonstop affair Spithaler would make a daring move in turns one and two to get around both leaders and would come out with the lead in turn number three. Kuriger would then fall back to 3rd as Smith would get around at the same time. Smith would then set his sights on the leader getting within half a second, but then on the white flag lap, caution would come out to punch up the field for a one lap shootout. Spithaler would hit his marks perfectly and would take the popular win defeating Smith by .304 to pick up his 12th career winged sprint Mercer checker and $3000.
A joyous Spithaler would say, “it’s just pretty cool to put the 33 on the frontchute and maybe they’ll (Brent and Jackie Matus) let me do it again sometime!! we went out to Indiana for the FAST sprint show and we hurt an engine out there in the 22 and so because of that we’re down and we have to concentrate on the points races since we’re leading the points with fast so the 22 will be out some of the year, but it only will be out for FAST points races and a couple outlaw shows so maybe I can get a couple more nights in this thing. I knew Mark Smith was faster than Dan Kuriger and I wanted to make sure that when I finally got by Mark, I knew I was better than him at the time and I know he kind of was pretty decent at the end too, but I wanted to strike as quick as I could to get Kuriger surprised in traffic and then hopefully try to run away with it!” Smith would settle for second Kuriger third, AJ flick would move up from 6th to 4th and Brandon Matus would move up one spot to 5th.
In the BRP modified tour Ransomville New York’s Erick Rudolph has been dominating the tour for the past couple years and last night was no exception as he came from his eighth starting spot to pick up the $3000 Michaels memorial in the 35 lap affair. Shannon Whaley would lead the first 2 laps from the outside pole until former BRP mod Mercer winner Garrett Krummert would take over in lap 3. While Krummert was looking for another BRP mod tour win eighth starting spot Erick Rudolph with methodically work his way up through traffic in his usual style. He would be up to fourth by lap number four and then overtook veteran Dave Murdick for second on lap number 11. It would then turn into the Rudolph Krummert show as Rudolph would chip away at Krummert’s lead going from 2.2 seconds back to just .044 on lap 20 and then it would be go time as he would get around Krummert on lap 21 and would then dominate leading the rest of the 35 lap affair winning by 2.7 seconds over Krummert. Canadian Tyler Willard would get around Murdick for 3rd on lap 28, Murdick would finish 4th and Rex King Jr., who would come from the rear of the field after suffering a flat tire would make his way all the way back to fifth at the finish
Rudolph would say, “We actually had a flat tire at the end. That’s what took me so long to come back out so we didn’t ruin the wheel, but my guys gave me an awesome car tonight you know we had to put her together and figure out a way to get through those rollers out there and able to put something together I thought we might had something and we were pretty good out there in the feature.”
Andy Priest who began his racing career in 1982 at his home track at Mercer nabbed his 14th career racesaver 305 sprint car feature last night dominating after he took the lead on lap number four. 2019 champ Jake Gomola would lead the first 4 until Priest took over. Wow priest was starting to pull away. The real battle would be for second as 8 time winner Gomola, nine time winner Jeremy Kornbau and 7 time winner Greg Dobrosky would slice and dice for position lap after lap utilizing the entire wide racing surface. A red would come out for a violent flip on lap 14 by Hunter Hite in turn 2 would slow the field. Hite was OK after the incident. On the restart, Priest would takeoff and win by 2.7 seconds over Gomola. Kornbau would finish 3rd Dobrosky 4th and Jim Pattock
Andy would say “My goodness I’m old. I don’t have any hair. I can’t see so the bright white wall helped!! these cars are pretty fast so it makes it fun. There’s not a lot of adjustments to make. You can use a lot of the used stuff from the 410 other than the right rear tire, which makes it a lot easier. I have always been a high side guy, so I get bored on the bottom.. things are turning around here so please continue to support this track!”
18 year old Ayden Cipriano withstood several challenges by longtime Mercer veterans to pick up his 3rd career 602 crate modified feature. Even though he led the entire way, it would not be easy at 16 time winner and multi time track champion Eric Gabany would follow in his trail the entire 20 lap distance but could not get around as Cipriano won by 2.0 over the veteran. Jeff Schaffer Sr., who had to put for a flat tire on the first lap would come from the tail to finish 3rd. Ryan Guthrie crossed the line in 4th but unfortunately did not to go tech after so he was put to last place moving Caden Petry to 4th and previous winner Pat Lane from 8th to 5th.
Cipriano would state,”I was focusing on hitting my marks and staying on the bottom against them. I’m always scared that he’s (Gabany) gonna be right behind me. He has proved many times to me and everybody else that he is one of the fastest people in Pennsylvania!! I’m just glad I was able to hold them off tonight!! they are always tough to race against especially because I’m so young but I’m glad that I’ve been able to build a good bond with all the guys that I race with and I’m just glad that we were able to take it home tonight. We race so much that at the end of the day you’re not going to get anything if you don’t practice and we probably practice the most out of everyone around here.”
Randy Ealy would lead the 15 lap mini stock nightcapper until lap 4 when 18 time winner Andy Thompson would overtake him. Devin Haley would get around Ealy on lap 7. The top 6 would be under a blanket as Mike Kelly would come out of nowhere riding the high side around the pack. Kelly would take 2nd on lap 11 over Ealy but then Ealy would regain 2nd on lap 13 and try to catch Thompson but Thompson was too far ahead and won his 19th career mini stock feature by 1.39. Kelly finished 3rd, Corey Bice 4th and 2 time winner Carl Ealy 5th.
“I knew the competition was stiff tonight.” Thompson said, “Everybody stepping their game up. I gotta give hats off to the track crew the track was great. There’s a lot of bite. I’ve been traveling around because Mercer has been taking a few weeks off and this is probably the best place we’ve been this year. These cars are all homemade they’re not bought they’re built..We don’t buy motors, We don’t buy cars, We build them all!

SCHUETT STRIKES FOR FIRST CAREER MOWA WIN
Saturday’s Tom Knowles Memorial at Spoon River Speedway produced another first time winner with the Morrow Brothers Ford MOWA Sprint Car Series. Philo, Illinois racer Kyle Schuett started the race in the ninth position and found himself in victory lane at the end of the 25-lap affair.
Luke Verardi and Ryan Bunton led the field to green, with Bunton taking command of the field on lap one. As Bunton raced around the ⅜-mile oval, drivers behind were swapping for position with Paul Nienhiser putting his #9X on the topside of the speedway as he looked to overtake Bunton.On lap four, Nienhiser made a move to take over the top spot, only to have his bid withdrawn as Shelby Bosie spun at the bottom of turn two, reverting to the last scored lap. Bunton knew that Nienhiser was close behind and he went into defense mode.
When the field returned to green, Bunton changed his line to protect the top shelf while Nienhiser moved to the bottom side of the track. By lap six, Nienhiser had moved his way past Bunton to overtake the top spot. With Nienhiser pulling away, the battle behind ensued as Kyle Schuett had worked from his ninth starting spot to third by lap ten. Will Armitage and polesitter Luke Verardi were trading lines for the fourth and fifth just as the field slowed for a spinning Shelby Bosie.
Paul Nienhiser led the field back to green at lap ten with Kyle Schuett in tow. A three way battle for third between Will Armitage, Ryan Bunton and Luke Verardi caught the eyes of many, allowing the top two drivers to pull away. Schuett, running second, quickly made up ground on Paul Nienhiser by lap 15 as he made a daring move past Nienhiser into turn three to take the lead. Will Armitage then found a hint of speed and quickly moved past Nienhiser to overtake the runner up spot. Schuett’s pace never seemed to slow as he held a nearly 1.5-second lead over Will Armitage and Paul Nienhiser with two laps remaining. Knowing time was running out, Armitage gave it one last-ditch effort and nearly overtook Schuett as the two raced back to the checkered, ultimately coming up short.
Schuett crossed under the checkers ahead of Will Armitage, Paul Nienhiser, Luke Verardi and Ryan Bunton. “It’s pretty cool to win (the Knowles), I knew starting ninth it was going to be tough but the car handled great all night. I saw (Will) Armitage’s shadow behind me and I told myself, “Don’t screw up”, and it paid off”, said Kyle Schuett in victory lane.
Feature Finish: 1. Kyle Schuett [9], 2. Will Armitage [5], 3. Paul Nienhiser [6], 4. Luke Verardi [1], 5. Ryan Bunton [2], 6. Brayton Lynch [12], 7. Korey Weyant [15], 8. Karter Sarff [7], 9.

Rhodes repeats as ‘Power’ winner
07-21-2024
Thanks to a couple of rainouts, it took the River Valley Builders PA Sprint Series until midseason to make its first appearance at its oldest stop, the quarter-mile Path Valley Speedway bullring, but Zach Rhodes and his fellow IMCA/RaceSaver competitors made sure the large crowd remembered why PASS keeps coming back.
The McVeytown driver in the Weaver Racing/Renegade Race Fuels/Raze Energy Drink #31Z fought his way past Mike Alleman of Port Royal to take the lead with five laps remaining in the 25-lap feature and won the PASS portion of the special Dr. Crouse’s Night of Power program for the second consecutive year.
The margin of victory was three-quarters of a second.
Doug Dodson of Middletown, who charged from tenth starting position, also got past Alleman on the next-to-last lap and finished second, while Alleman, who was oh-so-close to his first feature victory since taking his only career checkered flag at this track 23 years ago, came home third.
Jeff Weaver of Lock Haven came home fourth, and Jerald Harris of Dayton, Va., was fifth.
Timmy Bittner, Austin Reed, Larry McVay, Ken Duke Jr., and Kenny Heffner rounded out the top ten. Reed and McVay were the only drivers other than Rhodes who finished in the top ten last year as well.
Heffner, of Watsontown, claimed the W.C. Eshenaur & Son Hard Charger Award, advancing 11 positions after starting 21st. Dodson’s advance through the top 10 also was noteworthy, as was Bittner’s charge of seven spots. Drew Ritchey of Everett also had an impressive move through the field, but his night ended with mechanical failure after 16 laps.
Rhodes had shown his potential with his 2.5-second win over Weaver in the first heat race, and when he drew the outside front row starting position, he became an obvious favorite, but it was Alleman, to his inside, who took the early lead and held a slim-but-significant margin. The leaders began to encounter traffic on lap seven, but Kruz Kepner stopped on the backstretch and brought out a caution less than a minute later, giving Alleman an open track after he executed a strong restart.
By lap 15, traffic again became an issue, and Rhodes began to challenge for the lead. On the 19th lap, he slipped past Alleman’s #46, but the veteran RaceSaver competitor – who ran in the series’ first event in 1999 – came back to grab the top spot half a lap later.
In the same spot on lap 20, Rhodes slipped past again, and this time his lead held.
The 17-lap green-flag run saw wholesale changes of position throughout the field. At the end, 19 of the 24 starters remained on the track.
The win was Rhodes’ fifth with PASS (he has wins with other RaceSaver groups as well), second of the season, and second at Path Valley. All have come since his alliance with Weaver Racing last season, when the team finished second in River Valley Builders PASS championship points.
Besides Rhodes, Reed, Owen Dimm, and Dylan Shatzer took heat race wins as the 31-car field was trimmed to 24 starters. Heffner won the B-Main. Highlights in the preliminary events included Shatzer’s last-lap pass of Ryan Lynn for victory in the fourth heat, Jarrett Cavalet’s charge from eighth starting position to a qualifying/redraw third spot at the finish, and Ritchey’s run from ninth starting spot to second in the B-Main.
Mike Melair and Ritchey tangled in the first heat, but Melair was able to continue, and Ritchey came back to qualify through the B-Main. The only significant incident in the feature was on the first effort at starting it, when Matt Kline took a hard bounce after hitting one of the infield tires.
Racing for the River Valley Builders PASS tour was scheduled to continue Saturday with the once-postponed Keystone RaceSaver Challenge at Port Royal Speedway.
Next weekend, PASS will make its first-ever visit to Winchester Speedway in Virginia for a race-co-sanctioned by the Virginia Sprint Series and Laurel Highlands Sprint Series.
The tour is scheduled to return to Path Valley on August 17.
PASS is dedicated to the heritage of RaceSaver with stable and enforceable rules, consistent rules application and fair purse distribution paying 24th place one half of first place.

Cannon McIntosh Maneuvers to the Top with POWRi National Midgets and Xtreme at Spoon River Speedway
Belleville, IL. (7/20/24) Cannon McIntosh would ride the high line to success
of Spoon River Speedway to earn his twenty-fifth career feature win with the
POWRi National Midget League, running in conjunction with Xtreme Outlaw Midget
Series presented by Toyota, on Saturday Night’s exhilarating action after
leading the final ten laps.
Early on-track excitement with twenty top-notch and eager entries to the
POWRi National Midgets, running in conjunction with Xtreme Outlaw Midgets, would
find Hayden Reinbold start the action off with a quick-time in group hot-lap
qualifying with a time of 13.591-second as Gavin Miller, Ryan Timms, and Ashton
Torgerson would each notch heat racing victories.
Setting the feature field would find the high-point qualifier Ryan Timms roll
an invert of six to set Ashton Torgerson and Tyler Edwards on the front row
leading the field as the green flag flew with Tyler Edwards gaining the initial
advantage on the opening lap as Ashton Torgerson, Hayden Reinbold, Cannon
McIntosh, and Chase McDermand battled inside the early top five.
Overtaking for the lead on lap two would find Ashton Torgerson moving into
the top position briefly as Hayden Reinbold would move past using a speedy low
line on lap three.
Leading intently, Hayden Reinbold would appear to be on a rail as intense
battles would be displayed behind the leader with Ashton Torgerson staying
within striking distance and Gavin Miller and Cannon McIntosh rounded out the
running top positions.
Briefly retaking the top spot for a pair of laps Ashton Torgerson and Hayden
Reinbold would each run a very different line with Reinbold’s low line regaining
the first position on lap nine as Gavin Miller moved into third with McIntosh,
McDermand, Zach Daum, and Jacob Denney all showing speed.
Flying into the lead with a daring lap twenty-one maneuver would find Cannon
McIntosh using high-side momentum in turns one and two to get around the
low-running Hayden Reinbold with Chase McDermand, Zach Daum, and the
hard-charging Jacob Denney moving into the top five.
Bunching the field back together after a lap twenty-two caution would find
Cannon McIntosh setting the pace on the restart as McIntosh would defend the
front of the field through the final eight laps with outstanding battles to gain
his third seasonal victory with one-time leader Hayden Reinbold holding onto the
runner-up spot as Jacob Denney finalized the podium placements in a hard-fought
feature from starting eleventh.
“The first step is not giving it away when I get into the car, I had a goal
to move forward no matter what and go where they weren’t” said current POWRi
point leader and victor Cannon McIntosh in the Spoon River winner’s circle.
Adding, “I’d say mid-way through the race I figured out the top side then I had
to switch up my line after the caution and I can’t thank this team for giving me
such an amazing car.”
Flying through the field would find Zach Daum finish fourth with night one
winner Ryan Timms rounding out the POWRi National Midget League, running in
conjunction with the Xtreme Outlaw Midget Series presented by Toyota, top-five
finishers at Spoon River Speedway.

Shane Golobic claims first career Tyler Wolf Memorial victory
By Gary Thomas
Chico, CA…Fremont’s Shane Golobic has grabbed several special wins in his Sprint Car career and on Friday night the veteran added another, by scoring the $5,000 top prize at the Tyler Wolf Memorial in Chico. It was Golobic’s second consecutive triumph during SCCT Western Speedweek and marked his 15th all-time victory with the Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour.
Special thanks to Demo Mitty of Mittry Construction, along with Gary Perkins and Keith Arellano for bumping up the winners share at the 11th running of the Tyler Wolf Memorial.
The Silver Dollar Speedway showcased a terrific atmosphere during the penultimate round of Speedweek and the drivers certainly gave the fans on hand an intriguing feature.
Paradise driver John Michael Bunch began the evening by setting a new SCCT track record, before winning the High Sierra Industries Dash. One of the biggest roars of the night came when Bunch decided to take the Tyler Wolf Challenge and forgo his pole position, in favor of heading back to start 19th and have a shot at making some extra cheddar.
The 35-lap finale came to the line with Chico’s Kenny Allen and Golobic sharing the front row. A big pileup occurred on the opening lap however, and Bunch was among the drivers that needed to head for the work area. Once things got going it was Allen who jumped into the lead impressively and fended off every challenge that Golobic threw his way.
The former Silver Dollar Speedway Rookie of the Year hasn’t raced much the last couple years and did a fantastic job out front leading some of the top names in California Sprint Car racing. Golobic was patient as always though and waited for the opportunity to pounce, which came on lap 16.
With Allen getting a bit tight on the cushion Golobic dove below and grabbed the lead. After that he pulled away from the field but the action behind him was as hot as the weather outside. Dylan Bloomfield and Tanner Carrick were worth the price of admission on this night, battling back and forth for numerous laps.
Bloomfield solidified the runner up spot on lap 29 and then began to reel in the leader. The 18-year-old from Oakley looked like a rocket ship as he came after Golobic and when the white flag waved, he was right there. Rounding the final set of corners it looked to be a classic finish, only to have the yellow lights flash on, bringing things to a halt.
It set up a two-lap shootout that saw Golobic hit his marks to bring home the win ahead of Bloomfield, Carrick, Justin Sanders and Andy Forsberg. Finishing sixth through 10th were Chance Grasty, Shane Hopkins, Corbin Rueschenberg, Nick Parker and Allen. John Clarke earned the Pit Stop USA Hard Charger Award, while Bunch was able to finish 16th after taking the Tyler Wolf Challenge.
Thanks to the graciousness of several people during the night, extra money was added to the hard charger and the 19th place finisher among others. A strong field of 42 cars competed with SCCT on Friday night. Bunch took home a total of $300 for setting the Sierra Foothills Wine Services Fast Time to begin the program.
The Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour finishes off Speedweek tonight at Placerville Speedway. Auburn’s Andy Forsberg brings the point lead into the grand finale. He holds a seven-point advantage over a two way tie for second between Dylan Bloomfield and Shane Hopkins.

Nickles wins the ‘Run For The Rabbit’, Sherman doubles up in Thunderstocks and Modifieds at Limaland
July 19, 2024
Lima, OH
By Gerry Keysor
After being postponed twice due to weather, the ‘Run For The Rabbit’, the annual event honoring the memory of Limaland favorite Travis “The Rabbit” Miller, was held at Limaland Motorsports park Friday night under beautiful weather conditions.
Harrod, Ohio’s Jac Nickles piloted his yellow No.31 to victory in the GLSS Ohio CAT Sprint Car Series A feature. In Lock Sixteen Thunderstock feature action it was No. 60 Todd Sherman picking up the win, then jumping in his No. 65 DIRTcar UMP Modified to win that feature as well.
Kicking off feature action were the Lock Sixteen Thunderstocks with their 15 lap A Main. No. 74D Craig Dippman and No. 1 Dylan Drake would lead the field to the initial green, with No. 60 Todd Sherman being the victim of the field checking up in front of him and spinning, forcing him to go to the tail as the field would face a complete restart. Dippman would lead the initial 5 laps before slowing with mechanical problems, forcing him out of the race. No. 82 Chris Douglas would inherit the lead with Drake in second until Drake would spin in turn 4 on lap six, bringing out the caution once again. Sherman put on a clinic making his way thru the field to take the lead on lap eight, and would survive multiple cautions to pick up the win. Douglas would finish second, with No. 22T Tony Anderson third, UNOH Racer Houston Null fourth in the No. 11, and No. 8 Zach Rush completing the top 5.
Next up was the GLSS Ohio CAT Sprint Car 25 lap A Main honoring the memory of Travis Miller, who competed in the 360 Sprint Cars until he passed away in 1999. Wapakoneta, Ohio’s Devon Dobie in the No. 23 and Jac Nickles in No. 31 would lead the 21-car field to the green flag with Dobie taking the early lead. Nickles would slip past Dobie to grab the top spot on lap 2, before action was slowed a lp later for a 3-car pileup in turn 2 that saw the No. 20i of Kelsey Ivy tip onto it’s side, bringing out the red flag. Ivy would walk away unharmed. As racing resumed, Kasey Jedrzejek would power by on the outside of Nickles in turn one, looking to grab his second straight Limaland victory in the Ed Neumeister owned No. 11N. Nickles would keep Jedrzejek in striking distance, while having to hold off challenges from the No. X of Mike Keegan. On lap 20, Nickles found his opportunity to slip past Jedrzejek on the inside of turn 4, taking the lead and cruising to his first GLSS victory. Jedrzejek would finish second, with No. 71H Max Stambaugh third, Keegan fourth and No. 22H Randy Hannagan fifth.
Completing the night were the DIRTcar UMP Modifieds in their 20-lap feature event. No. 4 Jason Kinney and UNOH Racer Brayden Weller in the UNOH No. 01 would make up the front row. Kinney would lead early, with Weller second, as UNOH Racer Randy Giroux in the No. 1 would battle with No. 65 Todd Sherman for third. Caution flags on lap two, three, and four would slow competition, until the field ran green to the finish, Sherman would battle past Weller for second, and No. 16 Jeff Koz would do the same to grab third. Sherman would take the lead on lap 7, and never look back, winning over Koz, No. 5X Jerry Bowersock, Kinney and Giroux.
Limaland Motorsports Park will be back in action next Friday July 26th for Season Championship Night, presented by Alexander and Bebout. Join us as we wrap up the season points standings for 2024 in both the DIRTcar UMP Modifieds, and Lock Sixteen Thunderstocks. Also in action will be the always exciting Dirt Track Truck Series.

Ryan Timms Reigns Supreme with POWRi National Midgets and Xtreme at Spoon River Speedway
Belleville, IL. (7/19/24) Ryan Timms would make the overnight trip from wing
racing in Eldora worth the haul to Spoon River Speedway to earn his sixth career
feature win with the POWRi National Midget League, running in conjunction with
Xtreme Outlaw Midget Series presented by Toyota, on Friday Night’s exhilarating
action after leading all twenty-five feature laps.
Early on-track excitement with twenty top-notch entries to the POWRi National
Midgets running in conjunction with Xtreme Outlaw Midgets would find Tyler
Edwards start the action off with a track record quick time in group hot-lap
qualifying with a 13.377-second lap as Cannon McIntosh, Ryan Timms, and Chase
McDermand would each notch heat racing victories.
Setting the feature field would find the high-point qualifier Cannon McIntosh
roll an invert of zero to set himself and Ryan Timms on the front row leading
the field as the green flag flew with Ryan Timms gaining the initial advantage
on the opening lap as Chase McDermand, Cannon McIntosh, Tyler Edwards, and
Hayden Reinbold battled inside the early top five.
Quickly separating from the field, the top three with Ryan Timms, Chase
McDermand, and Cannon McIntosh would start to search for speed around Spoon
River Speedway with Hayden Reinbold and Tyler Edwards in tow within the top five
as Kale Drake and Zach Daum battled intently behind.
Checking out to over a two-second advantage, Ryan Timms would appear to be
the fastest of the field with Chase McDermand and Cannon McIntosh keeping Hayden
Reinbold and Kale Drake at bay inside the running top five as Tyler Edwards,
Zach Daum, Ashton Torgerson, Gavin Miller, and Jacob Denney, from starting rear
in a back-up car, rounded out the running top ten.
Bunching the field back together with a lap sixteen caution would see Ryan
Timms pacing the competition with nine laps left as Cannon McIntosh would shoot
to second on the restart with Chase McDermand, Hayden Reinbold, and Tyler
Edwards stalking the leading Timms.
Separating again by over three seconds in the closing laps of the feature,
Ryan Timms would not be denied in gaining his second seasonal victory with
Cannon McIntosh solidifying the runner-up spot as a late-closing hard-charging

line getting the early jumps, I saw Chase early but I just felt so fast and
comfortable out front.” said the victorious Ryan Timms in the Spoon River

helped here because I was able to just stand on it can keep this car as straight
as I could.”

Shane Golobic surges to 14th career SCCT win on Thursday at Marysville Raceway
By Gary Thomas
Marysville, CA…Shane Golobic made his first start of SCCT Speedweek count on Thursday night at Marysville Raceway, as he drove to his 14th career Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour triumph.
With the win the Fremont native now moves back out front all by himself as the all-time leader in SCCT victories.
“It’s nice to get a win during our first start of SCCT Speedweek here in Marysville,” Golobic said following the race. “It was a tricky track tonight, but luckily, we were able to get out front and set the pace. Hopefully we can carry the momentum into Chico tomorrow and Placerville on Saturday.”
SCCT Western Sprint Speedweek Round two and three winner Colby Copeland jumped out front at the waving of the green flag in the 35-lapper. Early on Harrisburg, Oregon driver Tyler Thompson hounded the rear of the VSR No. 5v, as he looked for his second victory of Speedweek.
Lapped traffic created some excitement during the opening stages of the feature and on lap 10, Shane Golobic went two for one, getting by both Thompson and Golobic in one fell swoop. Several yellows slowed the flow of the contest after that, but through it all, Golobic remained calm, cool and collected.
The driver of the NOS Energy Drink No. 17w had his way with things out front and went on to cross under the Darin Stahl checkered flag for victory.
Auburn’s Andy Forsberg made a late pass to secure the runner up position and in doing so, became the brand new SCCT season long point leader. It also marked his third podium of SCCT Speedweek. Thompson, Shane Hopkins and Dylan Bloomfield rounded out the top-five.
Completing the top-10 in the main event were Pit Stop USA Hard Charger Tanner Carrick, who came from 17th to sixth over Copeland, Nick Parker, Dawson Hammes and Steel Powell.
With four rounds complete in SCCT Speedweek, Colby Copeland continues to lead the standings by 13-points over Tyler Thompson. Forsberg sits 15-digits back in third, with Shane Hopkins 19-points behind in fourth. Dylan Bloomfield rounds out the top-five.
The Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour will continue Western Sprint Speedweek at the Silver Dollar Speedway in Chico on Friday. The event marks the annual Tyler Wolf Memorial.

Colby Copeland goes back-to-back in SCCT Speedweek action at The Douglas County Dirt Track
By Gary Thomas
Roseburg, Oregon…For the second consecutive night with SCCT Speedweek it was the Colby Copeland show, as the Roseville driver checked out and cruised to victory at The Douglas County Dirt Track on Wednesday.
Copeland was able to stretch his Speedweek point lead to 21-markers over Tyler Thompson heading into tomorrow’s show at Marysville Raceway. His win in Roseburg, Oregon was career triumph number five with the Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour.
The initial start of the 30-lap finale saw Medford, Oregon’s Bailey Hibbard get upside down to bring out a red flag. He emerged okay but was done for the event.
When things got going again it was Langley, BC driver Levi Klatt leading the opening lap, before Copeland shot by to grab the point.
Despite Copeland rocketing away from the field, the action behind him remained extremely entertaining, as cars sliced and diced on the well-prepared surface. Yuba City youngster Seth Standley drove another impressive race jumping into second on lap six.
Standley hung onto second until lap 21 when Corbin Rueschenberg made the pass. Shortly after that, a red flag period occurred and during it, Standley had a fuel leak that put an unfortunate end to his feature.
There was no stopping Copeland up front who blitzed away and hid for the win. Rueschenberg crossed the stripe in second to earn his second straight runner up finish, while Dominic Gorden kept things exciting, as he rode the high side to a third-place result.
Levi Klatt and Oregon racer Garen Linder rounded out the top-five. Completing the top-10 were Pit Stop USA Hard Charger Shane Hopkins, who carved his way from 15th to sixth over Dylan Bloomfield, Tyler Thompson, Braden Chiaramonte and Andy Forsberg.
Chiaramonte also thrilled the crowd on hand by running the fonz until getting into the wall and suffering a flat tire while battling around the top-five. After going to the work area, he rebounded in ninth to maintain his SCCT point lead.
A total of 24 cars competed on night three of SCCT Speedweek. Andy Forsberg began the evening by earning the Sierra Foothills Wine Services Fast Time Award with a lap of 13.274.
The Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour will continue Western Sprint Speedweek at the Marysville Raceway on Thursday July 18th.

Colby Copeland strikes for Coos Bay Speedway victory Tuesday with SCCT
By Gary Thomas
Coos Bay, Oregon…Roseville’s Colby Copeland started from the pole and dominated the main event en route to his fourth career SCCT victory on Tuesday night at Coos Bay Speedway.
In doing so, the driver of the Van Lare Steering Repair No. 5v machine also took over the Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour Speedweek point lead with two rounds complete.
“We had a great car tonight and it’s awesome to be up here in victory lane at another Speedweek race,” Copeland said. “I want to thank Jim and Annette Van Lare, the entire 5v team and all you fans for coming out to support tonight’s race.”
Race teams and fans battled through a couple of rain delays early on, before Mother Nature cooperated and allowed things to get underway.
Copeland jumped into the lead at the waving of the green flag in the 35-lapper after claiming the High Sierra Industries Dash and was never seriously challenged. Yuba City driver Seth Standley was on the move early as he took over third on lap five. The 18-year-old then proceeded to slice his way into second with 11 circuits complete.
Another youngster, however, in the form of Arizona racer Corbin Rueschenberg found a nice line a little higher than most and fought his way into second on lap 21. Shortly after that, Standley encountered unfortunate issues that left him parked in turn four.
Copeland easily pulled away from the field over the remaining distance and crossed the stripe for victory. His fourth career SCCT triumph ties him with Andy Forsberg and Rico Abreu on the all-time win list. Rueschenberg came home in second to score his best career SCCT finish.
Auburn’s Andy Forsberg rounded out the podium to snag his second straight top-three result to begin Speedweek. Placerville’s Shane Hopkins put together another fine run in fourth after starting from the outside of row six. It was good enough to net him the Pit Stop USA Hard Charger Award.
Monday night winner Tyler Thompson of Harrisburg, Oregon completed the top-five. Finishing sixth through 10th were Oakley’s Dylan Bloomfield, El Cajon’s Braden Chiaramonte, Langley, BC driver Levi Klatt, Hanford’s Ryan Rocha and Wilton’s Ashlyn Rodriguez.
Heat race wins went to Copeland, Rueschenberg and Seth Standley. Tyler Thompson opened the night by setting a new Coos Bay Speedway track record with a lap of 11.501.
The Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour will continue Western Sprint Speedweek at The Douglas County Dirt Track in Roseburg, Oregon on Wednesday July 17th.

However, on Tuesday night at the Independence Motor Speedway, Paul's route to victory lane was anything but easy despite starting from the outside of the front row in the twenty-five lap main event.
Pole-sitter Colton Fisher would battle Nienhiser wheel-to-wheel down the backstretch on the opening lap before sliding up in front of the series point leader to snare the race lead. And then the third-starting Ryan Bunton would soon power under Nienhiser to move to second before taking up the chase on the leader. As the top two closed in on the back of the field on lap ten, Bunton was able to pull even with the rim riding Fisher in turn four only to have Colton ward him off and that same scenario would play out again on lap eleven with Fisher now having to deal with the soon to be lapped cars as well as the challenge from Bunton.
As Colton scored what would have been lap thirteen, he would drop his right rear wheel off the lip of the banked front stretch and that would then steer him off the track and into a wild spin that would see him get on his side before slamming into the guardrail outside of turn one. The only things that was injured on the up and coming young driver was his pride as he knew that he had let this one get away from him.
Bunton would assume the lead for the restart with the hope of getting his first career victory with the Sprint Invaders despite the fact that he is the defending series champion after finishing in the top ten of every event on the schedule in 2023. With Ryan entering the turns low and then exiting toward the top, Nienhiser would now pound the cushion on both ends bringing him ever closer to the leader as the laps counted down. And, with just six laps remaining, that high side momentum would pay off as Paul would sail around Bunton for the lead on the back stretch.
Lapped traffic would come into play again in the closing laps and when the leader made contact with the rear bumper of Tanner Gebhardt entering turn three while coming to the white flag, it would send Gebhardt for a spin with the caution setting up a two lap shootout for the win. Tasker Phillips had just taken second away from Bunton before the caution so he would make a run at the leader in turn one on the restart only to see Nienhiser drive away for the win and to have Bunton slip by him on the outside to regain second at the checkers. Terry McCarl who had won each of the two previous appearances of the Sprint Invaders here at Independence made a nice run from eleventh to fourth while two-time series champion Cody Wehrle filled out the top five.
It was an emotional victory for Nienhiser who dedicated the win to his longtime friend and supporter of his racing career, Ralph Willhite, who lost his life in an accident at the Jacksonville Speedway in Illinois just a few weeks ago.
Next up for the Mohrfeld Solar Sprint Invaders will be another Tuesday night trip, this time to the Mountain Dew Bloomfield Speedway on July 30th that will serve as an appetizer for the Knoxville 360 Nationals that will start its three day run just two nights later.

Gravel comes on strong to get 2nd Brad Doty Classic win at Attica
Tuesday, July 16, 2024
By Brian Liskai
ATTICA, Ohio – David Gravel searched all over the one-third clay mile of Attica Raceway Park Tuesday, July 16 during the 36th running of the Ohio Logistics Brad Doty Classic presented by dac Pet Products. When he found his lane and his rhythm, he took the lead on lap 17 and drove away for the $15,000 pay day, his 10th World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink victory of 2024.
The win was the Watertown, Connecticut native’s second Brad Doty Classic win and third career win at Attica.
“I was just bidding my time. Carson (Macedo) was racing pretty defensive. I think he knew he was in trouble of getting passed. I was running a lot of different lines just trying to figure out what the best line was before I could get the lead. You’re just guessing out there…all these cautions…I don’t know how many cautions there were but there were way too many. It was hard to get into a rhythm and you had no one to base it off of with lapped traffic so it was really hard to know where to be in one and two. Every other lap I tried a different lane and the car started getting free and it just kept getting slicker and slicker every lap…40 laps here the track changes so much. Cody (Jacobs, crew chief) gave me a really good card…something I didn’t have to push too hard and I could run my own race. I’m happy to get a Brad Doty Classic for Cody because I stole one from him when I was in the CJB car and he working for Tim Shaffer. Steven and Zack worked real hard in the heat,” said Gravel beside his Huset’s Speedway/Billion Auto.com/Jackson Motorplex/High Performance Lubricants/JRC backed #2.
The early portions of the 40-lap feature saw several cautions. Carson Macedo led laps 1-7 before three time Doty Classic winner Kyle Larson took the lead on lap eight only to see Macedo regain the top spot a circuit later. Gravel, who started third, drove into the lead on lap 17.
Gravel built a nearly three second lead when the caution flew on lap 26. The race for second had been fantastic involving Macedo, Logan Schuchart and Larson.
Following a fuel stop, Gravel continued to lead while 11th starter Donny Schatz with a bent up front wing, charged into second while Larson, Macedo, Cory Day and Giovanni Scelzi battled hard for third. With five laps to go Gravel had caught the back of the pack and Schatz closed in but ran out of time as Gravel took the checkers. Schatz, Larson, Macedo and Day rounded out the top five.
Schatz, a 10 time World of Outlaws champion,
“I’m surprised we didn’t change the nose wing but that’s not my call. It really didn’t effect it like everyone thinks. We’re not on the gas that hard here and there are parts of the race track where it would help. Ultimately I think I would have liked to have had it there to see what would have happened but all and all a good effort. The guys got things rolling and working and this is the type of race tracks you have in the summer. Everyone is digging,” said Schatz beside his CarQuest/Ford Performance/Curb/Sage Fruit/Elliott’s Custom Trailers & Carts backed #15.
Larson had one bobble on a restart and he felt that may have cost him a shot at his fourth Brad Doty Classic win.
“I wish I could have that last restart back. I knew all I could do was blitz the top. Gravel was really good. I got my right rear hung off the ledge and fell back to fourth and battled Carson and Cory to get back to third. I was hoping for another caution to reset. My car felt pretty good early but got kind of off in the middle but got better later but messed up that restart,” said Larson of his Findley Farms/Folkens Bros. Trucking/FloRacing/JVI Group/Glenn Styres Racing backed #57.
Attica Raceway Park will be back in action Friday, July 26 with the All Pro Aluminum Cylinder Heads/Kistler Racing Products Attica Fremont Championship Series presented by the Baumann Auto Group, the NAPA of Bryan AFCS presented by Jason Dietsch Trailer Sales 305 sprints and the Attica/Oakshade UMP Late Model Challenge Series in action.

Tyler Thompson scores first career SCCT win on Monday in Cottage Grove
By Gary Thomas
Cottage Grove, Oregon…Tyler Thompson has been logging many valuable laps with the Main Motorsports team over recent weeks and on Monday night at Cottage Grove Speedway, the Oregon driver snagged his initial Sprint Car Challenge Tour triumph.
Thompson, driving the H.A.M. Construction No. 35KM mount battled early with Andy Forsberg, before cruising at the end to open SCCT Speedweek in victorious fashion.
“I’ve always wanted to win one of these NW Speedweek races and it feels great to finally get it done at Cottage Grove Speedway tonight,” Thompson said on the front stretch. “I have to think Adam Main and this entire 35KM team for giving me a great car as always. We have had a lot of speed, so it’s nice to pick up another win in front of the home crowd.”
The front row for the 35-lap Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour main event was comprised of High Sierra Dash winner Andy Forsberg and Thompson. At the waving of the green flag the duo fought for the top-spot in exciting fashion, as Forsberg ran high, and Thompson rode the low line.
Thompson eventually began to pull away, as the rest of the field battled for position on the quarter mile. With the Harrisburg, Oregon wheelman having his way up front, Forsberg drove a smooth race in second picking his way through lapped cars as well.
Some of the best action came between SCCT point leader Braden Chiaramonte of El Cajon, Placerville’s Shane Hopkins, Roseville’s Colby Copeland and Oakley’s Dylan Bloomfield. The four drivers raced high and low while exchanging positions towards the end.
Thompson held a steady lead as he crossed under the checkered flag ahead of Forsberg. Chiaramonte solidified third with just a few laps remaining and was the night’s Pit Stop USA Hard Charger after starting 11th. Hopkins and Copeland rounded out the top-five.
Completing the top-10 on Monday were Bloomfield, Oregon’s Bailey Hibbard, Langley, BC driver Levi Klatt, Hanford’s Ryan Rocha and Yuba City’s Seth Standley.
As noted, Forsberg captured the High Sierra Industries Dash. He also claimed the Tiner-Hirst Ent. opening heat race. Bailey Hibbard won BR Motorsports/ King Racing Products heat two, while Drake Standley won A.R.T. Speed Equipment heat three.
Colby Copeland began the evening by earning the Sierra Foothills Wine Services Fast Time Award with a lap of 11.637.
The Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour will continue Western Sprint Speedweek at Coos Bay Speedway in Oregon on Tuesday July 16th.

11th Annual “Race for Riley “ at Double X Speedway victories to Wilson, Campbell, Fisher and Schultz
Double X Speedway
California, MO
July 14, 2024
By: Dean Reichel
The 11th Annual “Race for Riley”, Riley Hudson Memorial Race was held on Sunday July 14th at Double X Speedway on the outskirts of California, MO after rain postponed the event for a week. Family, friends and racers alike gathered at the quarter mile dirt oval to honor a young race fan with a personality as big as the world. This year would have been Riley’s 21st birthday and her memory was honored with all classes running 21 laps in their feature events. To go along with the racing action the night is on the calendar of many young racing fans as Riley’s family and friends make the night all about the kids. Bike giveaways, special prizes for young fans in attendance along with a Frisbee toss and more are always on tap at this special event.
The B modifieds were few in number but were strong in quality. Terry Schultz took the lead on lap 4 and would hold off a strong running Adam Hall to claim the heat race win. Following the lead duo were Rylan Gibbs in third and Chad Staus in fourth. With three of the four drivers having won feature events previously at Double X odds were good it would be a repeat winner. At the end of the feature event it was veteran Terry Schultz standing in victory lane. Schultz was challenged the entire distance by Adam Hall who would claim the runner up spot. Chad Staus finished third and Rylan Gibbs would take fourth.
The Pure Stocks were the featured cars and drivers for the 11th edition of the “Race for Riley” and a good number signed in for the evening. The first heat race saw Ted Welschmeyer pick up the victory over Chris Messerli and Darin Porter. Heat two found Trevor Wilson picking up the win with Ryan Oerly and PJ Turpin crossing the strip in second & third. Trevor Wilson would claim the Dash for Cash in the division. In the special 21 lap feature Ted Welschemeyer moved out to the early and commanding lead until his transmission decided it no longer wanted to participate heading down the back stretch. On the restart Trevor Wilson would be the leader and he made the most of the opportunity running smooth consistent laps with Chris Messerli and Darin Porter providing the pressure. At the checkers the running order was the same, Wilson, Messerli and Porter the top three, Curt Turpin claimed fourth at the stripe with Jeff Turpin completing the top five.
In the Super Stock class the racing was fast and entertaining as usual. Eddie Keeran, running the only leaf spring chassis in the class, put his #87 Camaro to the point and led the distance in heat one besting Clayton Campbell and Dale Berry. Heat two saw the top two in points in the class finish first and second. Veteran Steve Beach picked up the win over Kansas traveler James Nighswonger. Smokin Joe Miller of Centertown finished third in heat #2. Nighswonger would redeem himself by winning the Dash for Cash in the division. The feature event saw long time competitors Eddie Keeran and Steve Beach leading the field to green. Beach would take the early lead on the high side but Clayton Campbell hugging the inside would take the lead on lap three. A lap six caution would bunch the field behind the leader. On the restart Nighswonger made a charge for the second position but slid up the track into Beach bringing out a caution as the #10 was forced to come to a halt to avoid hitting the outside wall. The #44 would restart at the tail. Green flag racing resumed with Campbell comfortably in control, Beach in second with Derek Wiss, Dean Willie and Dale Berry running in the top five. Campbell would survive the duration of the event even with another caution or two. At the finish it was Clayton Campbell in victory lane once again at Double X this season. Dean Willie drove a steady race to take second, James Nighswonger charged back to claim the third spot, Steve Beach would finish fourth and Dale Berry would complete the top five.
The Winged Sprint Cars had a fast track for their heat races. In heat race number one teenage Phenom Garrett Benson picked up a decisive victory over a strong running Josh Fisher in second and an equally strong Ben Brown in third. The second heat saw Miles Paulus and Tyler Blank on the front row after a caution on the initial start. Paulus would put the hammer down at the green and move to the point. Once Blank got his #75 lined out he began gaining on the leader but would settle for second at the checkered with Samuel Wagner finishing third. A couple of “young guns” led the Winged Sprint Car feature and it was Garrett Benson getting the hole shot followed by third starting Josh Fisher. A red on lap three for the tangle of Tucker Daly and Rob Rimel brought a stoppage to action as both cars required a hook to return to the pit area. On the restart Benson and Fisher took off with Paulus and Tyler Blank joining the mix. Benson and Paulus would run the bottom with Fisher and Blank charging around the top. Fisher would take over the top spot on lap seven holding Benson at bay. A caution on lap eight would bring the field to Fisher’s rear bumper with Benson, Blank, Paulus and Ben Brown holding the top five spots. The track surface would prove to be a challenge as a lap ten caution flew for Samuel Wagner spinning in turn four. On the ensuing restart Fisher would again command the high line with Tyler Bank using the same line to move into second on lap 14. Blank began closing on the leader as Ben Brown moved into third on lap 15 using the top shelf as well. By lap 18 Blank had reeled in the leader and was beginning to plan a pass when the caution flew one more time for Aubrey Smith in turn 3. A three lap dash to the finish awaited the field. Fisher remained glued to the cushion as Ben Brown tried a low side pass for second but Blank was able to use the high line to hold off the challenge. At the checkers it was Fisher, Blank, Brown, Benson and Casey Shuman completing the top 5.
Next Sunday night is the “Racing Back to School” backpack and school supply giveaway night. Thanks to Tyler Utz Family Racing and friends for this annual event. The Clenin Farm Supply 305 Sprint Cars will be on the card along with the Super Stocks and 360 Winged Sprint Cars.

Duke right at home with Selinsgrove win
07-14-2024
Ken Duke Jr. has been the model of consistency so far in the 2024 River Valley Builders PA Sprint Series, building a healthy early lead in championship points by finishing in the top ten in all but one of the year’s first ten events.
Saturday night at his home track of Selinsgrove Speedway, he tweaked that characterization a bit and was consistently unbeatable, becoming the year’s first three-time winner overall and the first repeat winner at Selinsgrove with a flag-to-flag victory in the 20-lap feature for the IMCA/RaceSaver sprinters.
It also was his 25th career PASS victory, extending his lead as the winningest active driver in the series.
A fortunate redraw for feature starting position put Duke on the outside front row for the race, and he outran rookie Kolby Weaver of Everett in turns one and two of the opening lap to take the lead he’d never give up. However, it took some charging from the rear to reach that point: Duke’s draw for heat race starting position put him on the outside of the fourth row for his preliminary, and he had to pass five drivers to claim a third-place finish, which put him in the redraw.
That showed the Fairfield Chevrolet/River Valley Builders/Susquehanna Valley Auto Glass #67 would be in the hunt for the night.
Getting to the lead wasn’t the end of his work, either. Defending PASS Champion Logan Spahr of Lewisberry quickly moved into the runner-up spot early in the feature, and Austin Reed of Etters came from eighth starting spot to third in just five laps to show he was capable of a challenge.
Duke, however, was not to be denied. Entering traffic on lap eight didn’t seriously reduce his lead, and when the race’s only caution – for a car stopped on the backstretch – gave his challengers a shot on the lap 13 restart, he quickly pulled away.
At the end, it was Duke, Spahr, Reed, Kruz Kepner of nearby Kreamer, and Doug Dodson of Middletown.Kepner came from eighth starting position and Dodson from 10th in a race that had plenty of passing.
Mike Melair, Kasey Weaver, Zach Rhodes, Drew Young, and Braeden Varner completed the top ten.
Rhodes’ charge from 22nd starting position, after finishing second in the B-Main, earned him the W.C. Eshenaur & Son Hard Charger Award. That completed a weekend that also saw him win the Nitany 40 Laurel Highlands Sprint Series RaceSaver event Friday night at Clinton County Speedway.
Heat races for the 34-car field were won by Dodson, Reed, Kepner, and Tim Iulg of Bridgeton, N.J. Josh Spicer of Julian claimed the 14-car B-Main.
Mia Koponen of Ludlow, Vt., was the VP Racing Fuels “Race-Ready Award” winner after being saddled with he worst draw for heat race starting position.
The night’s racing was nearly incident-free for the PASS teams. All four heats and the B-Main ran off non-stop, with Eric Mathiot of Elizabethtown the only driver not finishing a heat. His problems continued in the B-Main, where Danny Buccafusca or Rockaway, N.J., also failed to finish. The feature’s only caution was for a car stopped on the track.
This weekend will be special for the River Valley Builders PASS competitors. On Friday, they take part in Dr. Crouse’s Night of Power at Path Valley Speedway, where ULMS late models headline a program that also includes modifieds.
Then, at Port Royal Speedway on Saturday, the 2024 Keystone RaceSaver Challenger has been rescheduled after being rained out last month. This is the biggest event of the season for the PASS tour. 410 sprints and wingless super sportsman cars also will be featured.
PASS is dedicated to the heritage of RaceSaver with stable and enforceable rules, consistent rules application and fair purse distribution paying 24th place one half of first place.

Bogucki, Bosma and Hanisch Join Winner's List at Huset's Speedway During Huset's Hall of Fame Night
Inside Line Promotions - BRANDON, S.D. (July 14, 2024) - Scott Bogucki, Brandon Bosma and Craig Hanisch each earned their first feature triumph of the season at Huset's Speedway on Sunday during the Huset's Hall of Fame Night.
Bogucki swept the Cressman Sanitation 410 Outlaw Sprint Cars program as he set quick time during qualifying, won a heat race and captured the main event for his first career victory at the track.
"I can't thank my guys enough," he said. "We did a great job and I'm proud for this team. Consistency was key tonight."
The main event, which went 26 laps because of a caution on the final scheduled lap, was wild as it showcased three official leaders, three red flags and five additional cautions as the race lasted nearly an hour before the checkered flag was waved.
Christopher Thram led the first six laps before Bogucki passed him on the bottom in turn four on Lap 7. Thram got upside down entering turn one on the ensuing lap. Red flags on Lap 15 and Lap 17 were followed by cautions on Lap 19, Lap 21, Lap 25 and twice during a green-white-checkered restart.
Bogucki's car stumbled on one of the final restarts, which bunched up several drivers behind him with third-running Dusty Zomer, who led Lap 15, and fourth-running Mark Dobmeier crashing. Points leader Kaleb Johnson was also caught up in the incident, but kept his car going. A fuel stop ensued and Bogucki pulled away riding the top groove the final two laps for the win.
"I was running out for four or five laps," he said after becoming the eighth different division winner in eight races this year. "I was trying to keep the car straight. It started stumbling. It played out how it played out. I'm proud to get the win."
Ryan Timms posted a runner-up result.
"Scott, he was extremely fast," he said. "I couldn't run my car any harder. I couldn't keep up with him on the starts. Once I got going I could kind of start reeling him in again. I'll take a second and we'll go onto the next one."
Johnson extended his lead in the championship standings with a third-place run following the near crash late in the race.
"I feel like there in the feature we had a fifth-place car, but somehow made it through the mess in turn four," he said. "I thought I was going to be stalled, but the next thing I knew I hit the gas and kept going. We'll keep trying our best and hopefully one of these days knock on the door of a win."
Scott Winters charged from 15 th to fourth and Brendan Mullen recorded a fifth-place finish.
Jacob Hughes and Timms were the other heat race winners besides Bogucki.
Seventh-starting Bosma led the final seven laps to win the Wyffels Hybrids RaceSaver Sprint Car Series A Main, which featured three different leaders during the 20-lap race.
Gaige Weldon paced the field for the first five laps before Dusty Ballenger took over the top spot on Lap 6. The first of two cautions occurred on Lap 13 with Bosma executing a slide job in turn three on Lap 14 to grab the lead - a race-winning move that made him the eighth different feature winner in as many races this season.
"It was better to be running second," he said. "I found the rubber in (turns) three and four and it kept moving down. Dusty slipped up there and it gave me enough room to clear him. We just got lucky to get around him right there."
Ballenger was the runner up with Trefer Waller placing third. Tyler Rabenberg ended fourth and Shayle Bade was fifth.
Weldon, Cole Vanderheiden and Rabenberg were the heat race winners.
Hanisch led all but the opening lap to score his 33 rd career triumph at Huset's Speedway during the Nordstrom's Automotive Late Model Street Stocks feature. It marked his first win at the track since July 2016.
"It feels good," he said. "All we have is motor problems and I think we lost another one tonight, but I wasn't shutting her down until I seen the checkered flag."
Billy Prouty powered to the top spot on the opening lap before Hanisch used the bottom groove to his advantage on the second circuit. While Hanisch maintained a comfortable lead, Prouty ran second for most of the race before Dan Jensen and points leader J.J. Zebell both passed him on Lap 16.
Jensen ended second with 10th-starting Zebell placing third. Zach Olivier was fourth and Prouty rounded out the top five.
The heat races were won by Hanisch and Prouty.

Schneider Penn Ohio Star At Tri City Raceway Park; Smith, Krummert, and Mollick Also Win
(Franklin, PA July 14, 2024): The spotlight was on the Pro Stock Division at Tri City Raceway Park, as the Penn Ohio Pro Stock Series was in to challenge the track’s Hovis Auto & Truck Supply regulars. Taking the win was Chris Schneider. The $1,000 he earned will certainly help him repair the battle damage that his mount sustained during the course of the feature event.
Also getting wins were Mark Smith (Krill Recycling 410 Sprints), Garrett Krummert (21st Century Energy Group 358 Modifieds), and John Mollick (4 Your Car Connection RUSH Sprints).
Bobby Whitling returned to action this week and he started from the pole position. Next to him was Jackson Humanic. Chris Schneider and Josh Seippel were in row two, with Randy Wyant and Curtis J. Bish in row three. Behind them were Rod Laskey, last week’s winner, and Brandon Connor. Tim Bish and Jason Fosnaught were in row five. Departing from row six were Brent McDonald and Matt Bernard.
The race amounted to two distinct halves. Bobby Whitling dominated the first half, leading all ten laps, with Chris Schneider nipping at his heels. Curtis J. Bish ran in third until Randy Wyant slipped by on the inside to take third just before the midpoint in the race.
It looked as though the complexion of the race was going to change just after the leaders took the crossed flags. Tim Bish and Chris Schneider got together, and Schneider did a remarkable job to save the car from spinning. He did lose several positions. However, the debris left from Schneider’s battered car caused a yellow, so Schneider got his position back for the restart.
On the restart, Schneider dropped to the inside and he powered past Whitling. Now, the roles were reversed, and Whitling was chasing Schneider for the remainder of the race.
Although Whitling got close on a couple of occasions, Schneider had power in reserve and he was always able to pull away from any of Whitling's challenges.
Tim Bish was third, followed by Curtis J. Bish and Jackson Humanic. Curtis Bish and Humanic staged a close battle through the last seven laps or so. Jason Fosnaught, Rod Laskey, Josh Seippel, Brandon Connor, and Brett McDonald completed the top ten.
The trio of heat winners were Whitling, Seippel, and Curtis J. Bish. There was no B Main.
Mark Smith celebrated his fifty-third birthday by completing a weekend hat trick in Western Pennsylvania. After wins at two other area speedways on Friday and Saturday, Smith raced to victory in the non-stop twenty-five lapper for the Krill Recycling 410 Sprint Cars.
Jack Sodeman, Jr. and Adam Kekich were on the front row, with Bob Felmlee and Smith in row two. The third row was made up of Jeremy Weaver and A.J. Flick. The fourth row had Carl Bowser and Michael Bauer. In row five were Andy Cavanaugh and Dusty Larson. Taking the sixth row were Bodey McClintock and Chase Metheney.
Sodeman raced out to an early lead, with Kekich, Flick, Felmlee, and Weaver following. Sodeman retained the lead as he started to pick off some lapped cars. Smith took several runs at his, but Sodeman always seemed to time perfectly his approach on the slower traffic.
However, when he reached some open space on the race track, Smith was able to capitalize when he launched off turn two. He sailed into the lead by making a slider work in turn three with twelve laps complete.
Smith led Sodeman the rest of the way. However, the fight was on for the remaining positions in the top five. Flick made his move into fourth by lap twenty and in the five remaining laps, he worked up to second. He was aided somewhat by Sodeman’s malfunction with the nose wing.
Sodeman held on for third, with Weaver getting fourth and Kekich fifth. Bowser, Bauer, Felmlee, Larson, and Cavanaugh completed the top ten.
There were two heat races for the Krill Recycling Sprinters. The winners were Sodeman and FLick. There was no B Main.
The 21st Century Energy Group 358 Modifieds went non-stop as well. Taking the win was a super-sub, Garrett Krummert, who was at the controls of Steve Slater’s machine.
Jimmy Holden and Hayden Holden occupied the front row. Chad Reitz and Krummert made up the second row. In the third row were Ryan Riffe and Chip Ritchey. The fourth belonged to Frank Guidace and Mark Sevin. The fifth had Bill Milbert and Thomas Rodgers.
Hayden Holden swooped out to the early lead, with Krummert, Reitz, and Guidace in the top five. Krummert dialed up the power coming off turn two and he grabbed the lead heading toward turn three on lap three.
Krummert stretched out his advantage as the laps clicked off. Reitz wrestled
second away from Hayden Holden early in the second half of the contest. Jimmy
closed in on his son in the final five laps, but did not make a pass. Riffe was
fifth. Ritchey, Guidace, Sevin, Milbert, and Rodgers completed the top ten.
Krummert was also the heat race winner. for the 21st Century Energy Group 358 Modifieds. There was no B Main.
The final feature of the night was for the 4 Your Car Connection RUSH Sprint Cars. That race also went non-stop. John Mollick climbed from sixth on the grid to the lead just before the midpoint in the race and he led the rest of the way.
Arnie Kent and Blaze Myers led the way to the final green flag of the night.
Brent Rhebergen and Joe Buccola were in row two. They were followed by Devon
Deeter and Mollick. Ricky Tucker, III and Luke Mullichak were in the fourth row.
Zack Wilson and Tyler Clark were in row five.
Myers led the early going, but Mollick was on the move. After Mollick took control, he completed the remaining laps without incident.
Myers followed him across the scoring loop. Kent, Buccola, and Rhebergen. Mullichak, Deeter, Tucker, Charles McClintock, and Wilson completed the top ten.
The heat winners were Mollick and Myers. There was no B Main for the 4 Your Car Connection RUSH Sprint Cars.
In the Marsh Heating & Cooling Heat Race Challenge, Tim Bish and John Mollick are tied for the lead with four wins apiece. Three racers are tied for second with three heat wins.
Next week, Tri City Raceway Park will present a Sunday Thunder program, consisting of the Krill Recycling 410 Sprint Cars, the 21st Century Energy Group 358 Modifieds, the Hovis Auto & Truck Supply Pro Stocks, and the 4 Your Car Connection RUSH Sprint Cars.

BRYANT BELL COMPLETES SWEEP OF WESTERN MIDGET RACING AT KAEDING CLASSIC
WITH $1200 SATURDAY WIN
WATSONVILLE, CALIFORNIA (July 14, 2024) – Bryant Bell of Oakley, Calif.
completed the Western Midget Racing weekend sweep on Saturday night at the 14th
annual Howard Kaeding Classic, claiming the $1200 to win, 25-lap feature at
Watsonville’s Ocean Speedway. The sweep of the weekend’s features extends Bell’s
championship lead in WMR. It also gives him the lead in the WMR Triple Crown
series as well.
Bell won the pole position after winning the fast heat race against the six
locked in cars from Friday night. Santa Cruz’ Logan Mitchell won the second heat
race to earn the seventh starting position. Payette, Idaho’s Teddy Bivert drove
around the outside of Bell at the green flag to lead lap one. Bell then
challenged Bivert on the inside to retake the lead on lap seven.
Delano’s Terry Nichols used a strong charge on the outside line to close in
on Bivert for second as the field navigated traffic by lap 12.
A red flag flew for a serious crash in turn one when Mitchell and
Sacramento’s Isaiah Vasquez tangled. Vasquez flipped side over side off the edge
of the speedway and Mitchell tipped over as well. Vasquez was transported for
further evaluation after initially walking away.
Nichols completed the pass for second place on the restart then turned his
attention to Bell. The pair went side-by-side for the lead on lap 20 and
remained in lockstep. Nichols and Bell then collided in turn two, sending
Nichols into a wild tumble to end his event on lap 23. He was able to walk away.
Bell fended off a side-by-side challenge from his Boscacci Racing teammate
Anthony Bruno of San Jose to claim the big win. The victory marks Bell’s fourth
in the last five races for WMR. Bivert finished third followed by Roseville’s
Jerry Kobza and Todd Hawse of Moorpark.
The 2024 Western Midget Racing Triple Crown is brought to you by Sunland Wood
Products, Mead Performance, Extreme Mufflers, Pasillas Tire, West Evans

JUSTIN SANDERS EARNS SECOND CAREER HOWARD KAEDING CLASSIC TRIUMPH
WATSONVILLE, CALIFORNIA (July 13, 2024) – Justin Sanders of Aromas won his
20th career Northern Auto Racing Club 410 Sprint Car Series win and his second
Howard Kaeding Classic, claiming Saturday night’s 30-lap feature at Ocean
Speedway in Watsonville. The victory in the 14th edition of the HK Classic paid
$6900 to win.
“Our car was pretty close. We were really good there in the midpoint of the
race. (Our season) could turn around in an instant but we’ll go and enjoy this
win,” Sanders said. “It was hard to know what to do on the restarts. It was hard
with the top is that far around but also the bottom is so dirty.”
Templeton’s Kaleb Montgomery and San Jose’s Bud Kaeding split Automotive
Racing Products qualifying honors on a split field against the 30 entrants on
hand. Lemoore’s Cole Macedo then topped Sanders in the Beacon Wealth Strategies
Dash to score the pole position for the coveted feature. Macedo and Sanders
entered the evening tied in the NARC championship standings and entertained the
full house at the Santa Cruz County Fairgrounds dirt track in a thrilling
feature event.
Macedo charged past Sanders to the lead in turn one over the 24-car field,
but the move was nullified when Clovis’ Dominic Gorden spun on the backstretch.
Macedo led the way on the following restart as well despite Sanders attempt to
turn underneath him on the backstretch.
Sanders then pulled off a slide job in turn one to move past Macedo to lead
lap two. Sanders led Macedo into traffic by just the sixth lap. Macedo took
advantage of traffic, showing his nose on both laps 10 and 12.
Jeremy Chisum of Salinas spun in turn two for a caution on lap 12. Macedo
dove inside of Sanders in turn three on the restart, driving alongside Sanders
to be credited with the lead on lap 13. Macedo’s lead lasted a few hundred feet
before Sanders soared underneath him to retake it in turn one. Sanders
officially had control of the event on lap 14. 2021 HK Classic winner Sean
Becker of Roseville emerged in third on the restart as well.
Sanders paced Macedo by a few car lengths in traffic before the final caution
of the night when Gauge Garcia of Lemoore faltered with a mechanical issue in
turn one. Sanders led the final seven circuits for victory over Macedo, Becker,
Bud Kaeding, and Tim Kaeding.
Bryant Bell of Oakley, Calif. completed the Western Midget Racing weekend
sweep by claiming the $1200 to win, 25-lap feature. The win also kicked off the
Triple Crown Series for the WMR division.
Bell won the pole position after winning the fast heat race against the six
locked in cars from Friday night. Santa Cruz’ Logan Mitchell won the other heat
race. Payette, Idaho’s Teddy Bivert drove around the outside of Bell to lead lap
one. Bell then challenged Bivert on the inside to retake the lead on lap seven.
Delano’s Terry Nichols used the outside to close in on Bivert for second as
the field navigated traffic on lap 12. A red flag flew for a serious crash in
turn one when Mitchell and Sacramento’s Isaiah Vasquez tangled. Vasquez flipped
side over side off the edge of the speedway and Mitchell tipped over as well.
Vasquez was transported for further evaluation after initially walking away.
Nichols completed the pass for second place on the restart then turned his
attention to Bell. The pair went side-by-side for the lead on lap 20 and
remained in lockstep. Nichols and Bell then collided in turn two, sending
Nichols into a wild tumble to end his event on lap 23. He was able to walk away.
Bell fended off a side-by-side challenge from his Boscacci Racing teammate
Anthony Bruno of San Jose to claim the big win. Bivert finished third followed
by Roseville’s Jerry Kobza and Todd Hawse of Moorpark.
Oakley’s Jacob Mallet, Jr. won the IMCA Modified 25-lap feature. Todd
Hermosillo of Watsonville led the first three laps before Mallet took over. Jim
Pettit II of Prunedale followed him into second position as well.
Austin Burke and 2023 Pettit Shootout winner Troy Foulger of Oakley collided
in a bid for fifth, sparking a multi-car crash involving Ryan Porter of Atwater
and Markus Frazier of Santa Maria for a caution flag on lap eight. On the
restart, Andrew Peckham of Grass Valley took an off-road path through the apron
in turn two then had no steering in turn three to draw a caution. Cautions
continued to plague the event on the next attempt when Hermosillo and Foulger
tangled hard on the backstretch.
Mallet paced a fast-paced final 17 circuits to win comfortably over Pettit,
Porter, Fred Lind of Prunedale, and Frazier.
2023 Hobby Stock champion Joe Gallaher returned from a spin on Friday night
to win on Saturday night in a 20-lap feature. Watsonville’s Adriane Frost led
the first seven laps until the fourth starting Gallaher took control of the
race.
Friday winner DJ Keldsen of Newman, Matt Kile of San Jose, and Rob Gallaher
of San Jose rounded out the top-five finishers.
Ocean Speedway races again on Friday night July 19 with the IMCA Sport
Modifieds, South Bay Dwarf Cars, Four Bangers, and Police-in-Pursuit competing.

Tony Gomes, Jacob Tuttle, Nick Baldwin and Mike Miller win on Kings Meats Night
By Gary Thomas
Placerville, CA…Modesto’s Tony Gomes took the lead on lap two and held off a hard charging Andy Forsberg to claim his fifth career Placerville Speedway Winged Sprint Car victory on Saturday.
Fellow winners on Kings Meats Burger Night included Jacob Tuttle with the Joe Hunt Magnetos Wingless Tour, Nick Baldwin with the Red Hawk Casino Pure Stocks and Mike Miller with the Mountain Democrat Mini Trucks. All four winners went home with a lucrative and loaded meat box thanks to presenting sponsor Kings Meats.
At the waving of the green flag in the Thompson’s Family of Dealerships Winged 360 Sprint Car finale it was a battle between Shane Hopkins and Tony Gomes up front. Hopkins led the initial lap, before Gomes took over as they completed lap two.
The first 13 circuits clicked off caution free in fast and furious fashion, prior to a yellow for Chris Masters. On the restart nine-time track champion Andy Forsberg carved his way into the runner up spot and gave chase after the leader. On the initial green flag run Gomes worked lapped traffic to perfection and did so once again during the final half.
A couple of close moments in traffic caused Gomes to have catlike reflexes, however. As the race wound down Forsberg cut into the lead and when the white flag waved, he was right there on the tail tank of the C&M Motorsports No. 7c. A hair raising moment then occurred for the leaders heading down the backstretch, as a lapped car shot across the groove directly in front of the top duo.
Somehow, both Gomes and Forsberg were able to sneak by without worry, much to the amazement of the crowd on hand. Gomes crossed under the Ron Stahl checkered flag for his first win of the season over Forsberg, Hopkins, Chance Grasty and hard charger Jimmy Trulli.
Rounding out the top-10 were Corbin Rueschenberg, Austin Wood, Bubba Decaires, Braden Chiaramonte and Stephen Ingraham. Andy Forsberg now finds himself up front in the standings by one slip point over Shane Hopkins and just five markers ahead of Bubba Decaires.
The Joe Hunt Magnetos Wingless Sprint Cars made their initial appearance of the season on the red clay Saturday. In the end it was Oakley’s Jacob Tuttle who brought home the victory after leading all 20-laps in the feature.
The main event was plagued with several slow downs that didn’t allow drivers to get into much of a constant flow. High Sierra Wingless winner last month Josh Young tried to keep pace with the leader and brought home a second-place finish, ahead of DJ Johnson, Shawn Arriaga and Evan Gularte in the top-five.
Completing the top-10 were Trey Walters, Bob Newberry, Mark Hanson, Cody Meyer and Tyler Cato. Another healthy field of 29 Wingless Sprint Cars competed with the Hunt Tour on Saturday.
The Red Hawk Casino Pure Stocks put on one of the best races of the evening in their 20-lap finale. Several cars battled up front during the contest and kept fans on the edge of their seats for much of it. Tyler Lightfoot jumped out front and set the pace but had numerous drivers breathing down his neck.
Five-time Placerville Speedway champion and current point leader Nick Baldwin then charged his way into the lead on lap 14 and never looked back. The Oakley driver crossed the stripe for his 29th career triumph at the track. Lightfoot scored another consistent finish in second, with Kevin Jinkerson, Tommy Sturgeon and Arnita Bradshaw completing the top-five.
The 20-lap Mountain Democrat Mini Truck main event featured three different leaders, all with the last name Miller. The opening lap was led by Paige Miller, before Paizlee Miller was able to slip by for the top-spot on lap two.
Paizlee looked to have the speed up front to bring home the win however, had an issue during a lap 13 restart, which saw Mike Miller shoot from third to first. At the checkered it was Mike Miller followed by Luke Costa, Paige Miller, Paizlee Miller and Tyler Goggin.
Placerville Speedway returns to action this coming Saturday July 20th with the Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour and Dwarf Cars. The evening of racing will finish off SCCT Western Sprint Speedweek, which begins Monday in Cottage Grove, Oregon.

BRYANT BELL RETAKES WMR POINTS LEAD WITH FRIDAY NIGHT KAEDING CLASSIC WIN
WATSONVILLE, CALIFORNIA (July 13, 2024) – 2023 Western Midget Racing champion
Bryant Bell of Oakley took over the points lead for the 2024 series with a big
win, taking Friday’s 20-lap opener for the WMR Triple Crown and the Howard
Kaeding Classic. The victory paid $500 with a $1200 to win feature looming on
Saturday night.
Incoming points leader Logan Mitchell of Santa Cruz and Bell shared the front
row for the feature. Bell got a launch on the outside line and drove to the
inside in turn one. The pair collided, relegating Mitchell to restarting at the
rear of the field for a restart. On the restart, Mitchell spun for his second
caution to end his night. The points swing takes Mitchell from an eight point
lead to an 18 point deficit.
Bell faced a challenge from Payette, Idaho’s Teddy Bivert on the restart but
Bell was able to fend him off. The red flag flew on lap seven when Lodi’s Nate
Wait flipped on the backstretch while battling Roseville’s Jerry Kobza for
fifth. He was uninjured.
Bell led the final 13 laps of competition for his fifth career Ocean WMR win
followed by Bivert, Terry Nichols of Delano, Kobza, and San Jose’s Anthony
Bruno. They join sixth place finisher Todd Hawse of Moorpark for Saturday’s fast
heat race while the rest of the field will race for starting positions seventh
on back in the second heat race. Bell spun a zero inversion for the fast heat
race in victory lane as well.

Kalib Henry earns 2nd 410 Fremont win; Stroup gets 2nd straight 305 victory
Saturday, July 13, 2024
By Brian Liskai
FREMONT, Ohio – There’s just something about Fremont Speedway presented by Gill Construction that brings out the best in sprint car drivers from California. A few years ago California driver Buddy Kofoid claimed the track championship and recently brothers Cole and Caron Macedo scored victories at “The Track That Action Built.” That California connection continued Saturday, July 13 on Crown Battery Night as Kalib Henry from Sacramento, California scored his second 410 sprint win of the season at Fremont.
DJ Foos led the first six laps of the 30 lap Fort Ball Pizza Palace 410 Sprint A-main until defending track champion Cap Henry drove into the top spot. Meanwhile sixth start Kalib Henry took second on lap eight and started to reel in Cap Henry, driving into the lead on lap 13 just as the caution flew. On the restart Cap Henry regained the top spot but at the half-way point Kalib Henry retook the lead. Cap Henry stayed right on Kalib Henry’s rear bumper until suffering mechanical issues with five laps to go. Trey Jacobs, who ran in the top five the entire race, closed in the final few laps but Henry powered to the win. Jacobs, Zeth Sabo, TJ Michael and Cale Thomas rounded out the top five.
Kalib Henry’s win pads his division point lead at Fremont while Thomas’ 10th consecutive top 10 finish increases his lead in the All Pro Aluminum Cylinder Heads/Kistler Racing Products Attica Fremont Championship Series presented by the Baumann Auto Group standings.
“Really can’t thank the Muth family enough for giving me this awesome opportunity. Kevin busts his ass and we got Connor here this week giving us a hand and taking a little bit of a load of me tonight. I kind of had a feeling tonight we were going to be good from the git…I guess when you have that feeling good things come true,” said Henry beside his Running Boxer Farms, Harris Distributing Company, Valvoline, K1, Berryman Racing Shocks, Chalkstix backed #101.
Kasey Ziebold led the first 11 laps of the 25-lap Fremont Federal Credit Union 305 Sprint A-main before third starter Dustin Stroup drove to the point. Following a caution on lap 14, six starter Jamie Miller moved into second and the battle for the lead was on. Stroup and Miller ran side by side lap after lap until a caution with four laps remaining. When the green flew that battle between Stroup and Miller continued right to the very end. Stroup earned his second straight win, the 11th of his career at the track, with Miller, Ziebold, Brenden Torok and Chad Wilson rounding out the top five.
Stroup gained a few points on Miller in the battle for the title of the NAPA of Bryan AFCS presented by Jason Dietsch Trailer Sales.
“I don’t like to win like that….that was too close for me. I could hear him (Miller) ripping it on the top. Me and Jamie are good buddies…that was a good hard race. I felt real good off the bottom but the crew guys were telling me to go to the top but I didn’t want to go there. I took the lead where we were running the car just felt good. I have to thank Jamie and Renee for letting me drive this car, my mom and dad, my girlfriend Katie and my daughter, Tracey and all the sponsors,” said Stroup beside his Sulfur Town Pub, BSE Welding, Meru Safety, Velocity Print, The Pizza House, Sunrise Designs, Momma Dukes from Shelluke’s Bar and Grill, GCE LLC, Handy Grafix, Mitten Painting, Myers Racing Engines, Rohr Total Lawn Care, Eye Candy Custom Cycles, DJ Johnson & Family, GWH, Advance Auto Parts, BRS, J&J Auto backed #12x.
After Jamie Miller lead the opening lap of the 20-lap Burmeister Trophy Dirt Truck A0main, fifth starter Shawn Valenti took the lead but Miller and he raced side by side over the next five laps. Following a spat of cautions, Valenti pulled away slightly from Miller and drove to his fourth consecutive feature win. Miller earned his fourth second place finish of the year with Keith Sorg, Kent Brewer and Andy Keegan rounding out the top five. Valenti, a four time truck track champion, now has 78 career wins at Fremont, putting him just two behind all-time feature winner Paul Weaver.
“I could get used to this winning stuff again. I kind of stuck on the top there too long last week and learned my lesson. Awesome truck once again from my guys, Nick, Noah, Jeff Babcock, Squirrel…it’s pretty amazing,” said Valenti beside his Craig Miller Trucking, Conrad Transportation, Dave Story Equipment, A Plus Auto Center, Concrete Material Supply, S&S Hauling and Excavating #7B.

COLE MACEDO GRABS OPENING NIGHT OF 14TH ANNUAL HOWARD KAEDING CLASSIC IN
WATSONVILLE
WATSONVILLE, CALIFORNIA (July 12, 2024) – Lemoore’s Cole Macedo returned to
Ocean Speedway and returned to victory lane, claiming the 30-lap feature for the
Ocean Sprints presented by Taco Bravo on Friday night. Macedo’s win opens the
14th Annual Howard Kaeding Classic at the Watsonville, Calif. dirt track
featuring Saturday’s NARC 410 Sprint Car Series feature. Macedo currently is
tied for the championship lead with Aromas’ Justin Sanders heading into the
$6900 to win contest.
“Drew Warner and the guys had my car really dialed there,” Macedo said. “I
love coming to Watsonville. My last time I was here was early last year and we
ended up getting a win. Coming here the night before (the NARC race) is key and
getting a good base package. It was in our best interest to come here and try
some off the wall stuff we wouldn’t normally try.”
Macedo topped time trials at the Santa Cruz County Fairgrounds but it was
Dominic Gorden of Clovis who won the dash to start on the pole for the nightcap
feature.
Gorden led Macedo into lapped traffic by lap six. 2023 series champion Kurt
Nelson of Gilroy then slid over the edge in turn two and into the wall for a
caution on lap ten.
On the restart, Macedo executed a slidejob underneath Gorden into turn one
that stuck. He officially had the lead on lap 11. Macedo earned a quick and
comfortable advantage over Gorden, but it tightened in lapped traffic just past
halfway. Brief cautions on lap 19 for DJ Netto spinning and on lap 23 for
Bradley Dilland getting sideways in turn four did not deter Macedo. Macedo
topped Gorden at the checkered flag for the Ocean Sprints victory. Bud Kaeding
won a thrilling heat race earlier in the night, then finished off a successful
evening by finishing in third. Gauge Garcia of Lemoore and Templeton’s Kaleb
Montgomery rounded out the top-five.
2023 Western Midget Racing champion Bryant Bell of Oakley took over the
points lead for the 2024 series with a big win, taking Friday’s 20-lap feature
worth $500 to win.
Incoming points leader Logan Mitchell of Santa Cruz and Bell shared the front
row for the feature. Bell got a launch on the outside line and drove to the
inside in turn one. The pair collided, relegating Mitchell to restarting at the
rear of the field for a restart. On the restart, Mitchell spun for his second
caution to end his night early. The points swing takes Mitchell from an
eight-point lead to an 18 point deficit.
Bell faced a challenge from Payette, Idaho’s Teddy Bivert on the restart but
Bell was able to fend him off. The red flag flew on lap seven when Lodi’s Nate
Wait flipped on the backstretch while battling Roseville’s Jerry Kobza for
fifth. He was uninjured.
Bell led the final 13 laps of competition for his fifth career Ocean WMR win
followed by Bivert, Terry Nichols of Delano, Kobza, and San Jose’s Anthony
Bruno. They join sixth place finisher Todd Hawse of Moorpark for Saturday’s fast
heat race while the rest of the field will race for starting positions seventh
on back in the second heat race. Saturday’s WMR main pays $1200 to win.
Matthew Frazier of Santa Maria won the IMCA Sport Modified 20-lap contest
over a 16-car field. Jeff Mead of Watsonville led the opening lap after starting
third. Frazier started seventh and used a restart on lap two to advance to
second. A caution on lap four allowed Frazier to challenge Mead for the lead.
Frazier jumped inside to lead lap five.
Points leader Emali VanHoff of Chowchilla and Mead battled for second place
through a series of cautions in a challenging race. Frazier got away cleanly on
a green-white-checkered finish attempt which was nullified by a mechanical
failure for Prunedale’s Max Baggett. Frazier earned the yellow checkered victory
over Mead, VanHoff, multi-time Hobby Stock track champion Rob Gallaher of San
Jose, and Tyler Tucker of Delhi.
DJ Keldsen of Newman won his first Hobby Stock main event of the season after
20 laps of racing. 2023 champion Joe Gallaher paced the action from the pole
position. Keldsen challenged Gallaher with the pair making contact in turn four.
Gallaher then spun in turn one, handing the lead to Keldsen on lap seven.
Keldsen never relinquished the top spot followed by Adriane Frost of
Watsonville, Matt Kile of San Jose, Sam Kennedy of Watsonville, and Joe Gallaher.
The 14th annual Howard Kaeding Classic continues Saturday night from the

Bogucki and Rosenboom Triumphant at Jackson Motorplex During Joel Pingeon Trucking 410 Shootout Presented by C & B Operations
Inside Line Promotions - JACKSON, Minn. (July 12, 2024) - Scott Bogucki and Jody Rosenboom delivered winning performances on Friday evening at Jackson Motorplex, which hosted the Joel Pingeon Trucking 410 Shootout presented by C & B Operations during its first race of the season.
Bogucki was strong throughout the 25-lap Midwest Sprint Touring Series 410 Sprint Cars main event as he powered into the runner-up position on the second lap before using a slide job in turn three to take the lead on Lap 6.
A close call occurred on Lap 10 when Bogucki got into the back of a car he was attempting to lap. The contact knocked Bogucki sideways into turn one, but he was able to save it and maintain the lead. Bogucki then built a nearly five-second advantage before the only caution came out on Lap 23. That didn't matter to Bogucki, who pounded the cushion the final three laps to pull away for his first career victory at the track.
"We just waited for the track to clean off a bit and got the miles per hour going," he said before describing the close incident. "They slowed up and I should have anticipated it. We're just lucky we saved it."
Kaleb Johnson advanced from sixth to earn a second-place result.
"I just got a really good start there and used the bottom until it wasn't there," he said. "I didn't have much for Scott. Congrats to him and his team. I thought I could stay close at the end, but he kinda drove away. I grew up racing here and in front of my family so I'm glad we were able to get a good run."
Matt Juhl, who led the first five laps, placed third.
"It's too bad not to capitalize on something like that," he said. "Running top three is good, but not where we wanted to be. This will be a good start to hopefully better finishes."
Tanner Holmes scored a fourth-place finish and Christopher Thram used a last-lap pass to garner a fifth-place result.
Thram, Scott Broty and Estenson each won a heat race. Skylar Prochaska was the dash winner.
Rosenboom led the final eight laps of the 20-lap Wyffels Hybrids RaceSaver Sprint Cars presented by Heser Auto & Detailing A Main.
Monty Ferriera held the top spot for the first dozen laps. He entered traffic on Lap 12, which allowed Rosenboom and third-running Chris Graf to quickly erase more than a two-second deficit. The top three were bunched up going by the flag stand on Lap 13. Rosenboom dove low and powered into the lead in turn two as he executed the race-winning move.
"Monty is a good racer," he said. "In clean air he was really, really good. We needed something if I was going to get to him.
"With these things it's like restrictor plate racing. You have to keep your foot in it, use your brake a lot, keep it straight. I can't thank everybody enough who helps get this car here."
Graf made the same move on Ferriera for second place on the ensuing lap and chased Rosenboom through traffic for several laps. The lone caution of the race occurred on Lap 18 when John Lambertz slowed while running sixth. Rosenboom was strong on the restart en route to the triumph.
Graf placed second with Ferriera rounding out the podium. Brandon Bosma hustled from 16 th to fourth place and Lee Goos Jr. rallied from 13 th to fifth.
A total of 44 drivers signed in and the heat races were won by Amelia Eisenschenk, Ferriera, Graf, Rosenboom and Jake Greenwood. Bosma and Nate Eakin were the B Main winners.
Racing returns to Jackson Motorplex in two weeks with back-to-back nights. The Livewire Printing Company 360 Shootout presented by Tweeter Contracting featuring the Gunderson Racing Inc. Midwest Sprint Touring Series 360 Sprint Cars and the Wyffels Hybrids RaceSaver Sprint Cars presented by Heser Auto & Detailing is July 25.

Varin Wins Battle, Poirier Wins War in ESS CNY Speedweek Finale at Weedsport
By Curtis Berleue (Weedsport, NY) | After a grueling week of action at tracks across NY state, the 2024 version of the Empire Super Sprints CNY Speedweek concluded Sunday night at the Weedsport Speedway in Weedsport, NY. Sitting atop victory hill when the dust settled was Danny Varin, $2,500 richer for his efforts.
Pinnacle Pole Award winner Jordan Thomas brought the field to the green flag and jumped out to an early lead over Matt Tanner and Jonathan Preston.
Working the extreme high side of the track, the lead trio caught lap traffic on lap 8, and Thomas was able to extend his lead navigating the slower cars with ease. By lap 12, he had extended his advantage over Matt Tanner to nearly half a track.
As the laps wound down, however, Thomas’ early lead had vanished, and while battling for position with Matt Tanner, his night would end in the fourth turn wall on the last lap.
The ensuing restart set up a one-lap duel between Tanner and Varin, with Varin emerging victorious.
“At the end, I was going to put it in the fence or try to win it,” said Varin. “We just had to pull that wing forward and give it everything we had there for the lap and it paid off.”
“We got about an hour’s worth of sleep last night; drove all the way back to Fonda, pulled two motors out, put one back in – it was just a huge effort and I couldn’t do it without this whole team.”
Matt Tanner would cross the line in second, and Jonathan Preston rounded out the Ashley Lynn Winery podium in third.
34 winged warriors signed in for action on the final night of CNY Speedweek, splitting the field into four timed hot lap groups. Rifenburg Contracting fast time awards went to Cory Turner, Jordan Thomas, Danny Varin and Larry wight. E&V Energy heat races were won by Jason Barney, Jordan Poirier, Danny Varin and Larry Wight. The Lacaillade Masonry B-Main went to Kelly Hebing, while Johnny Smith won The Wildcat dash.
After one rainout and four straight nights of action, Jordan Poirier was crowned the 2024 CNY Speedweek champion. The St. Mathieu de Beloeil, Quebec driver was consistent all week, with a second-place finish at Utica-Rome, third at Brewerton, sixth at Fulton and fourth at Weedsport to round out the week.
Davie Franek finished the week second in points, followed by Jason Barney in third, Danny Varin and Matt Tanner to round out the top five.
The next scheduled event for the Empire Super Sprints is Friday July 19th at the Albany-Saratoga Speedway in Malta, NY.

Williamson, Donnohue and Zebell Earn First Huset's Speedway Wins of Season During Metro Construction Night
Inside Line Promotions - BRANDON, S.D. (July 7, 2024) - Garet Williamson, Brady Donnohue and J.J. Zebell each maneuvered to their first feature victory of the season at Huset's Speedway on Sunday during Metro Construction Night.
The three new winners now make 20 different winners in 22 main events at the high-banked track this season.
Williamson led the final 11 laps of the Cressman Sanitation 410 Outlaw Sprint Cars and Midwest Sprint Touring Series 410 Sprint Cars main event, which saw a green-white-checkered finish as Williamson was in turn four on the final scheduled lap when the caution came out.
"The car was phenomenal," he said after pulling away to a comfortable triumph following the late restart. "That was a blast to drive. Tonight we put a whole night together. We were really great. When everything clicks, it's really nice."
Justin Henderson paced the field for the first dozen laps before Kerry Madsen powered from third into the lead on the bottom of turns one and two on Lap 13. On the ensuing lap, Madsen narrowly made contact with a sideways car he was attempting to lap, spinning out in turns one and two. That gave the top spot back to Henderson, who led for the next lap before Williamson drove around him in turns three and four.
Despite thick traffic and a late-race restart, Williamson was efficient to score his second career victory at the track. He became the division's seventh different winner in seven weekly races this season.
"The track was phenomenal," he said. "It opened up really nice. I love racing here. It's really fun. We've been struggling so this one is really big. It's so hard to win a race; it doesn't matter where you go."
Chase Randall finished with a runner-up result for the third time at the track this season.
"It was a great night, all in all," he said. "We had a strong car."
Mark Dobmeier recorded his first podium finish of the season at Huset's Speedway with a third-place outing.
"It was a nice, solid night for us," he said. "I think I had a car that could have won the feature. We've been tweaking on it all year and kinda all last year as well. We're going in the right direction."
Henderson placed fourth and Tim Estenson tied a career-best result at Huset's Speedway with a fifth-place finish.
Madsen and Henderson each set quick time in their group's qualifying session to open the night. The heat races were won by points leader Kaleb Johnson, Estenson, Dobmeier and Randall. Scott Winters was the B Main winner.
Donnohue used the top of the track to take the lead near the midpoint of the 20-lap Wyffels Hybrids RaceSaver Sprint Car Series main event to garner his first career triumph at the track. He is the seventh different division victor this year.
"I didn't really expect to win my first year out," he said. "That turned out to be a really good track. It slicked off nice and was awesome."
Taylor Forbes led early and focused on the bottom lane before multiple drivers began using the top of the track to move forward. Donnohue, who started seventh, pounced shortly after a red flag on Lap 5 with Brandon Bosma and Shayle Bade making waves on the outside line as well. The final caution occurred on Lap 16 when Bosma spun after he and Bade made contact entering turn one.
Bade finished with a charge from 10 th to second place. Cole Vanderheiden maneuvered from 13 th to third. Trefer Waller was fourth and Koby Werkmeister rallied from 18 th to fifth.
Waller, Bayley Ballenger, Bade and Jay Masur picked up heat race wins. The B Mains were won by Jacob Peterson and Werkmeister.
Zebell hustled from 13 th to capture his eighth career Nordstrom's Automotive Late Model Street Stocks feature victory at Huset's Speedway.
"That's what I've worked on this year is being patient," he said. "I just weaved my way through and had a couple of good luck (moments)."
Kinzer Glanzer led the first six laps before he and second-running Tracy Halouska connected and came to a stop in turns one and two. Garet Deboer inherited the top spot and held the point for a trio of laps before he spun entering turn one on a restart on Lap 10. Zebell moved into the lead and held off 11th-starting Matt Steuerwald to extend his lead in the championship standings.

Andy Forsberg, Michael Faccinto, Josef Ferolito and Nick Baldwin claim Placerville Speedway wins
By Gary Thomas
Placerville, CA…Auburn’s Andy Forsberg snagged the lead on an early restart and dominated the remainder of the way to grab his 72nd career Placerville Speedway Winged Sprint Car triumph on Saturday night.
Sharing victory lane on Red Hawk Casino Night were Michael Faccinto with the USAC/BCRA Midgets, Josef Ferolito with the BCRA Lightning Sprints and Nick Baldwin with the Pure Stocks.
The 25-lap Thompson’s Family of Dealerships Winged Sprint Car main event saw current point leader Bubba Decaires jump in front after battling Oregon driver Tyler Thompson on the opening circuit. The pilot of the Morrison Concrete No. 94 set the pace as racers battled for position behind him.
Andy Forsberg climbed into second on lap seven however and took advantage of a restart to rocket past Decaires for the top spot. Once out front the nine-time track champion pulled away from the field with ease. Forsberg ran the cushion to perfection and went on to cross under the Ron Stahl checkered flag for his third win of the season at Placerville Speedway.
Placerville’s Shane Hopkins continued his stellar start to the campaign by finishing in the runner up spot, followed by Decaires, Sacramento’s Austin Wood and Thompson. Rounding out the top-10 were Justin Peck, Michael Faccinto, Ashlyn Rodriguez, Izaak Sharp and Blaine Craft.
The USAC Western States/ BCRA Midget feature came to the line with husband-and-wife duo of Michael and Danika Jo Faccinto sharing the front row. M. Faccinto moved out front at the waving of the green flag. Around lap five though all eyes were glued to current USAC point leader Cade Lewis, who ran the cushion like a veteran.
Lewis charged by Faccinto to snag the lead on lap nine, with Arizona racer Drake Edwards following along for second a few circuits later. Edwards then attempted a super slider with four laps remaining but got sideways and resulted in Lewis climbing over him, ending in a nasty set of barrel rolls. Luckily, Lewis was okay but done for the night, as was Edwards.
Michael Faccinto then inherited the lead and led the final four laps for the victory over Brandon Wiley, Dane Colver, Dalten Gabbard and Robby Flock.
Modesto’s Josef Ferolito brought home his second straight Placerville Speedway victory with the BCRA Wingless Lightning Sprints on Saturday. Dakota Albright ran second, followed by Matt Land, Hunter Kinney and Greg Dennett.
The Red Hawk Casino Pure Stock feature saw Placerville’s Tyler Lightfoot blast his way into the lead at the start. Lightfoot set the early pace but had five-time track champion Nick Baldwin coming like a house of fire.
Baldwin made the move on lap seven and went to score his 28th career Placerville Speedway win. Lightfoot tallied a runner up finish at the checkered with Kevin Jinkerson, Tommy Sturgeon and Anthony Vigna completing the top-five.
Placerville Speedway returns to action with Burger Night presented by Kings Meats on Saturday July 13th. All burgers will be half price during the evening.

Price Shows The Way In Front of Packed Skagit Speedway House
7/6/24
By Kaleb Hart
Alger, WA - With a packed house watching on, Robbie Price found Skagit Speedway success on Saturday Night with his first win of the year. With Les Schwab supporting the racing action and fireworks to follow, it was Price, Jeff Westergard and Colin Sims taking home feature wins.
Price and Colton Heath started the main event in row one and after swapping moves and race lines multiple times in the first two laps, Robbie found the forward bite he needed to pull away and establish a strong lead. Heath settled into second and spent most of the race trying to keep Price from ditching him in traffic - Robbie had just finished lapping 11th place when a lap 24 caution bunched the field. Heath had cut Robbie’s lead in half right before the caution came out, but on the ensuing restart, chaos erupted from second on back, as Jesse Schlotfeldt and Jason Solwold had monster restarts that pushed them into podium finishing positions. No one could catch Price who rolled on to win the features ahead of Schlotfeldt and Solwold. Trey Starks set quick time. Heat races were won by Chase Goetz, Garen Linder, Schlotfeldt and Cam Smith.
Jeff Westergard won his first Skagit Aggregates Modifieds main event at Skagit Speedway. Westergard took the lead from Brent Morris on lap 12 and went on to win his first feature of the season at his home track. Alan Grimbly ran second with Ben Gunderson taking third. Grimbly and Gunderson were heat winners along with Austin Smith.
In the Hornet class, Colin Sims held off a strong challenge from Steve Peters to win the A Feature. Peters would try every line he could find, but Sims had the right defensive move for each attempt to stay ahead and win the race. Peters and Brian Michelson rounded out the podium. Michelson was fast time while heat race wins went to Howard Vos and Tazio Andreasson.

Farnham and Jones Win Thrillers at Tri City Raceway Park; Mollick, Gomola, and Laskey Also Prevail
(Franklin, PA July 7, 2024): Matt Farnham captured the victory at Tri City Raceway Park in a thrilling finish in the Krill Recycling 410 Sprint Cars. Farnham got by Michael Bauer on the last lap, while A.J. Flick was closing fast on them both.
In another close battle, Roman Jones made a winning move in turns three and four on the final lap to score in the regularly scheduled feature for the Allegheny Sprint Tour 305 Sprints. Jake Gomola won the make-up feature for that class.
John Mollick and Rod Laskey also smiled in victory lane for the 4 Your Car Connection RUSH Sprints and the Hovis Auto & Truck Supply Pro Stocks, respectively.
Farnham and Bauer paced the field for the twenty-five lap Krill Recycling 410 Sprint Cars. Jeremy Weaver started third, with Gale Rulth, Jr. as his dance partner. Bob Felmlee and Dale Blaney made up row three. A.J. Flick and last week’s winner, Carl Bowser, were in row four. Brandon Spithaler and Jack Sodeman, Jr. paired up in row five, with Dan Kuriger making his first 2024 start from the inside of row six. Next to him was Zach Morrow.
Bauer jumped out to the early lead, with Farnham close in second. Ruth, Weaver, Flick, and Blaney followed. Before teh racers settled in, there were a pair of cautions. When the race got going again, it ran the remaining laps without any further interruptions.
Bauer held control, and it appeared as though he might get his first win of the season at Tri City Raceway Park. But Farhnham kept chipping away at the lead. When Bauer got hung up behind a lapper, Farnham seized upon the opportunity to make his move. He scooted by Bauer heading into turn one on the final lap. Bauer tried to launch a counterattack in turn three on the final lap, but he could not hold his line.
Flick was also coming on at the end. He may have had a shot ant both Bauer and Farnham on the final lap, but the presence of the lapped car would have made such a move quite difficult. So, He settled for third with a lot of what ifs on his mind.
Blaney was fourth, with Ruth in fifth. Bowser, Felmlee, Kuriger, Chase Metheney, and Dusty Larson rounded out the top ten.
Heat winners for the Krill Recycling 410 Sprint Cars were Dale Blaney and Jeremy Weaver. There was no B Main.
The 4 Your Car Connection RUSH Sprint Cars had teen Logen Lockhart and veteran John Mollick bring the field to the green. Brent Rhebergen and Zack Wilson were in row two. The third consisted of Joe Buccola and Arnie Kent. Luke Mullichak and Blaze Myers were in row four. The fifth row paired Tyler Clark and Rickie Tucker, III. The sixth row presented Devon Deeter and Charles McClintock.
Mollick surged ahead at the start of the fifteen lap feature. As the laps clicked off, Blaze Myers moved ahead, reaching second by lap eight. By then, Mollick had a commanding lead. Myers closed in on the veteran, but he could not attempt a pass for the lead.
At the checkers, it was Mollick once again, followed by Myers, Rhebergen, Buccola, and Kent. Wilson, Mullichak, Billy Myers, and Charles McClintock followed.
The twin heats for the 4 Your Car Connection RUSH Sprints went to Luke Mullichak and John Mollick. There was no B Main.
In the Hovis Auto & Truck Supply Pro Stocks, Shane Applebee and Brett McDonald were at the head of the field. Behind them were Doug Iorio, II and Travis Norman. The third row matched Rod Laskey with Jackson Humanic, who was subbing for Josh Seippel. Pat Fielding and and Jake Whitling made up row four. Mike Bordt and Andrew Hammond had row five. Aaron Smith and Jason Kinney held the sixth.
Laskey raced his way to the front early in the fifteen lapper. Humanic followed into the second position by lap four. Humanic was persistent, but he could not get by the veteran racer.
Laskey maintained his advantage despite two cautions that bunched up the field. Fielding, Bordt, and McDonald completed the top five. The next finishers were Applebee, Russ Coyne, Smith, Whitling, and Hammond.
The Hovis Auto & Truck Supply Pro Stocks ran two heat races, which were won by Humanic and McDonald. There was no B Main.
In the regular show for the Allegheny Sprint Tour 305 Sprint Cars, Zack Wilson and Roman Jones staked their claims to row one. Then came Jeremy Kornbau and Jim Pattock. Row three matched Greg Dobrosky and Timmy Bittner. Andy Priest and Jake Gomola were in row four, followed by Vivian Jones and Shane Shook. Jarret Rosencrance and Roman Gephart occupied row six.
Rhodes grabbed the lead at the drop of the green and led until turn three on the final lap. Roman Jones drove deep into the corner and the two racers were wheel to wheel through the final corners. Jones powered ahead comin off turn four to get his first win of the season.
Interestingly, Jones telegraphed the winning move just before the final caution came out. The caution set him back to second for the restart. Rhodes got away cleanly, but Jones had enough in reserve to repeat the maneuver when it counted.
Gomola took third, followed by Priest and Pattock. Groves, Bittner, Hunter Hite, Shamus O’Donnell, and Lacey Shuttleworth rounded out the top ten.
The Allegheny Sprint Tour also presented two heats. The winners were Priest and Kornbau. There was no B Main.
In the make-up feature for the Allegheny Sprint Tour 305 Sprint Cars, Jake Gomola and Jeremy Kornbau brought the field to the green. Roman Gephart and Andy Priest lined up in the second row, followed by Timmy Bittner and James Pattock. Nolan Groves and Greg Dobrosky made up row four. Then came Jarrett Rosencrance and Jazlyn Boyles. Seth Harrelson and Vivian Jones were in row six.
Gomola made a power move around the outside of turn two following a lap six restart to take the lead from Kornbau, who led from the start of the event. Kornbau’s car began to overheat in the second half of the race and he lost power, eventually finishing third behind Gomola and Andy Priest.
Fourth went to Nolan Groves and fifth to Jarrett Rosencrance. Vivian Jones, Aaron Murano, James Pattock, Shamus O’Donnell, and Timmy Bittner were sixth trough tenth based upon laps completed.

WESTBROOK, BEGOLO, BAILEY, AND COOPER WIN ON BIKE NIGHT AT OHSWEKEN
Article Credit: Brent Otchere
OHSWEKEN, Ont. (July 5, 2024) – Strickland’s Brantford GM and Hunsinger's Plumbing, HVAC, & Electrical presented Drive Safe, Ride Safe, Race Safe Bicycle Night at Ohsweken Speedway on Friday; Dylan Westbrook, Brent Begolo, Dave Bailey, and Jeremy Cooper took A-Main wins.
Kool Kidz-Corr/Pak 360 Sprint Cars
Cory Turner and Eric Gledhill brought the 22 car field to the green flag for the
360 Sprint Car A-Main. Cory Turner set the pace, leading the opening laps while
drivers in the midfield were battling for positions. Points leader Dylan
Westbrook hunted down Cory Turner for the lead on lap seven, just before a
caution came out due to Todd Hoddick spinning to a stop off turn one. Westbrook
assumed the lead once more after the restart, quickly building a gap of over
eight seconds to second and third place runners Cory Turner and Ryan Turner
respectively.
After it was all said and done, Westbrook found himself back in victory lane picking up his fifth win of the season and furthering his points lead. Rounding out the top five were Cory Turner in second, Ryan Turner third, Eric Gledhill fourth, and Darren Dryden fifth. Gledhill set a new track record of 13.010 seconds in hot laps earlier in the evening, besting the fastest recorded 360 Sprint Car lap in track history set by Tom Huppunen in 2009.
Strickland’s Crate Sprint Cars
Sheldon Bender started on pole with Brent Begolo next to him for the 20 lap
Crate Sprint Car A-Main. Begolo rocketed ahead of Bender, quickly becoming the
favourite to win as his pace could not be matched by the field running a higher
downforce setup. A.J. Lewis spun to a stop on lap four, bringing out the
caution. Begolo once again got away from the pack unscathed, however.
Lap ten saw a red flag incident as multiple drivers were involved in an incident in which Steve Murdock’s car took significant damage; all the involved drivers were unharmed. Two more cautions came out in the latter half of the race but Begolo still remained in the lead, holding off the previous week’s winner Brett Stratford despite the restarts. Begolo went on to lead all 20 laps, picking up his second career Crate Sprint Car win. Next to cross the line were Stratford in second, Ryan Fraser third, Johnny Miller fourth, and Bender fifth.
Up Next at Ohsweken Speedway

Spithaler Holds off Peterson For Wayne County Win
Defending Ti22 Performance FAST On Dirt champion, Brandon Spithaler, waged a torrid battle with current tour leader, Zane DeVault last night at Wayne County Speedway. Spithaler would emerge victorious in the 30-lap Rick Susong Memorial after DeVault tangled with lapped traffic while leading the race.
The action began with thirty-one-winged 410 sprint cars signed in for the night. Spithaler laid down the quickest overall lap in ARP Fasteners qualifying with a 14.548 to pace flight B. Cody Bova led flight A with a lap of 15.000. Heat race action saw Dale Blaney, Ricky Peterson, Leyton Wagner and Chris Myers picking up wins. The B Main was won by Jamie Myers.
The 30-lap main event was brought to green by Cody Bova and Zane DeVault and the pair drag raced to turn one. DeVault would lead the early stages but third starting Spithaler was there to do battle. Travis Philo was the first of three serious contenders out of the event, then, pole starter Bova got some help finding the inside implement tires on the back straight, doing serious damage to his car.
A late race restart found DeVault, Spithaler, Peterson, Wagner and Gunn all battling for the lead up front. Spithaler and DeVault swapped the lead before DeVault pulled away to a 10-car length lead. With victory on the horizon, he approached slower traffic, only to make contact and spin into the guardrail in turn three.
Back under green for the final seven laps, Spithaler fended off the challenge of Ricky Peterson with Leyton Wagner completing the podium. Tyler Gunn and Henry Malcuit rounded out a very strong top five. Dale Blaney, Chris Myers, Jordan Ryan, Darin Naida and Dylan Kingan completed the top ten.
Next up for the Ti22 Performance FAST tour is this coming weekend, a Hoosier state doubleheader. Friday, July 12 at Circle City Raceway near Indianapolis and Saturday, July 13 at Paragon Speedway. Watch for event details to be posted in the coming days.

Franek Flies to Fulton Victory Lane
By Curtis Berleue (Fulton, NY) | For the second time in 2024, ‘No Panic’ Davie Franek found himself in victory lane on Saturday night with the Empire Super Sprints. Earning $2,500 for his efforts, the New Jersey native took the lead on lap 5 and never looked back.
Starting on the Pinnacle Pole, Franek fell into second place early behind outside polesitter Shawn Donath. On lap 5, Franek was able to slip by on Donath to take the lead.
While running second, troubles with the ignition on lap 11 resulted in a DNF for the #53 of Donath, which handed over the runner up position to Matt Tanner.
With everyone moving up a position as a result, that meant Billy VanInwegen would take over the final podium position moving into third, where he spent the next handful of laps.
Meanwhile, eventual A-Verdi Storage Containers hard charger award recipient Jason Barney was working his way through the pack. Starting in 25th position after getting upside down in his heat race and more misfortune in the B-Main, Barney passed 22 cars, the final being VanInwegen on lap 23 to slip into third.
Nobody had anything for Franek, however, as he crossed the checkers first with just shy of a 3.5 second advantage on lap 25.
“Restarts were definitely not good for me tonight,” said Franek in victory lane.
“Obviously I got the lead there, but it was tough in the cockpit, the motor stumbled a little bit and really didn’t have the car the way we wanted. Its just great to be standing here.”
Matt Tanner was able to hold on for second, while Jason Barney rounded out the Ashley Lynn Winery podium in third. Billy VanInwegen was fourth, and Johnny Smith completed the top five.
32 cars lined the pits for the 4th night of the 2024 CNY Speedweek, with the field being split into four timed hot lap groups. Rifenburg Contracting fast time awards went to Davie Franek, Johnny Smith, Ryan Coniam and Danny Varin. E&V Energy heat race winners were Matt Tanner, Jordan Poirier, Billy VanInwegen and Shawn Donath. The East Coast Sealcoat dash was won by Jordan Thomas, while Robbie Stillwaggon picked up the Lacaillade Masonry B-Main.
The next scheduled event for the Empire Super Sprints is Sunday, July 7th at the Weedsport Speedway in Weedsport, NY.

Hunter Schuerenberg Sweeps Weekend Wins with POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprints at Lake Ozark Speedway
Eldon, MO. (7/6/24) Hunter Schuerenberg would flex his racing might once
again with the POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprint in Night Two of the Independence
Celebrations presented by Start2Finish TV to notch his third league victory and
pocket the payday in an outstanding twenty-five lap feature event at Lake Ozark
Speedway.
Flying onto the smooth surface with thirty talented entrants of the POWRi
410’s would see Jace Park set a quick qualifying time of 11.629-second lap with
Joe B Miller, Gunner Ramey, Chase Porter, and Roger Crockett each earning heat
racing victories.
Captivating the crowd on the initial green flag start with high-point
qualifier Hunter Schuerenberg and Jace Park lined up in the front row would find
Jace Park gain the lead on the opening lap with Hunter Schuerenberg, Joe B
Miller, Xavier Doney, and Jake Bubak all raced within the top five.
Overtaking for the top position when occurring lap traffic would find Hunter Schuerenberg using a precise high line to take the lead from Jace Park with Joe B Miller following suite into the runner-up positioning with Park fading to third.
Setting the stage for late race drama, caution would wave with four laps remaining with Joe B Miller attempting to take the top-spot using a slider line on the restart with Schuerenberg protecting the lead with perfection.
Leading the final twenty revolutions, Hunter Schuerenberg would not be denied in earning his third-straight career POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprint victory in an action-packed main event with Joe B Miller hustling into the runner-up position.
“The track was more technical tonight and I hate being up front leading when the rubber starts to show, it’s like I’m a sitting duck,” said an elated Hunter Schuerenberg in the Eldon Missouri victory lane ceremony celebrations. Adding, “I really appreciate all the support and I hope we get to do this again really soon”.
Challenging closely behind would find one-time leader of five laps Jace Park placing on the final podium placement from the starting second position on the initial green flag.

Brubaker breaks through for 1st 410 win of year at Fremont; Stroup dominates 305s; Valenti tames trucks
Saturday, July 6, 2024
By Brian Liskai
FREMONT, Ohio – There were times during the 2024 racing season that Stuart Brubaker probably thought about quitting as his family-owned 410 sprint team struggled with performance and crashes, switching chassis and set-ups trying to find speed. But, the veteran didn’t give up and it finally paid off at Fremont Speedway Presented by Gill Construction Saturday, July 6 in thrilling fashion on Roots Poultry Night.
A three-time Fremont Speedway 305 track champion, Brubaker, from Helena, Ohio, watched an over four second lead evaporate as he struggled with lapped traffic late in the caution-free 30-lap Fort Ball Pizza Palace 410 Sprint feature. Brubaker held off a charging Cap Henry to score his first win of the season by just .196 seconds. DJ Foos, Larry Kingseed and Mike Keegan rounded out the top five. It was Brubaker’s 9th career victory at “The Track That Action Built.”
“I was a little bit faster than the lapped cars but if I moved off the bottom then I opened a lane for him (Henry) and them guys ain’t afraid of crashing. To say we’ve struggled this year is a huge understatement. We’ve tried different cars… we changed everything and this car is the one we started the year with. It’s my guys, Bill and Brad and Ron…they never gave up. They have been busting their asses all year trying to get me better,” said Brubaker beside his Pit Stop, Black Swamp H&C, Story Equipment, Josh Kromer’s Seamless Gutters, Finish Line Race Fuels, Gressman Powersports backed #35.
With his second place finish Henry, the 2023 All Pro Aluminum Cylinder Heads/Kistler Racing Products Attica Fremont Championship Series presented by the Baumann Auto Group champion, closes the gap on Cale Thomas and Zeth Sabo who entered the night one and two in the series’ standings as Thomas finished 10th and Sabo 13th at Fremont.
Just like Brubaker, Fremont, Ohio’s Dustin Stroup has struggled at Fremont Speedway in 2024. A night after his car suffered a rear end issue at Attica Raceway Park, Stroup was able to dominate the Fremont Federal Credit Union 305 Sprint feature that saw only one caution flag for his first win of 2024 at the track. Stroup’s 10th career victory at Fremont came in dominating fashion as he won by six seconds over Jamie Miller, Tyler Schiets, Zack Kramer and Kasey Ziebold.
“Last night we blew a rear-end up at Attica so Dad and I stayed up late and got it all changed and Jamie and the guys came over and we got it all squared away. I felt really good but not six seconds good…that’s awesome. I gotta thank everyone on this thing…Jamie and Renee for letting me drive their car. My mom and dad and my girlfriend Katie and my daughter Layla, Tracey…everybody that helps out,” said Stroup beside his Sulfur Town Pub, BSE Welding, Meru Safety, Velocity Print, The Pizza House, Sunrise Designs, Momma Dukes from Shelluke’s Bar and Grill, GCE LLC, Handy Grafix, Mitten Painting, Myers Racing Engines, Rohr Total Lawn Care, Eye Candy Custom Cycles, DJ Johnson & Family, GWH, Advance Auto Parts, BRS, J&J Auto backed #12x.
Miller’s second place run will keep him atop the NAPA of Bryan Attica Fremont Championship Series presented by Jason Dietsch Trailer Sales standings though Stroup’s win will narrow that gap.
Despite a lot of cautions, the 20-lap Burmeister Trophy Dirt Truck feature was very entertaining up front. Dustin Keegan led the first two laps before Steve Miller took the lead for four circuits. Keith Sorg drove into the top spot on lap seven before surrendering it to Shawn Valenti on lap 12. Sorg inched back ahead for lap 14 before Valenti regained the lead on lap 15. Valenti ran the top shelf while Sorg hugged the bottom and pair raced side by side the last five laps and coming to the checkers Valenti edged Sorg by .083 seconds for his third win at Fremont in 2024 with Dan Hennig, Keegan and Kent Brewer rounding out the top five.
Valenti’s third straight truck win is the 77th of his career at Fremont and puts him in second on the all-time win list, surpassing hall of famer the late Art Ball and just three behind Paul Weaver.
“I grew up watching Art Ball and got to race with him with him quite a bit and I think his last win…he got me on that one. To surpass him…hats off to his career. It’s amazing to be up here with that many wins. Hats off to Babcock and all my guys on this brand new truck…the thing is amazing. I wasn’t sure if I should leave the top on either end and obviously I shouldn’t have…he (Sorg) drove it in there pretty hard on the last lap,” said Valenti beside his Craig Miller Trucking, Conrad Transportation, Dave Story Equipment, A Plus Auto Center, Concrete Material Supply, S&S Hauling and Excavating backed #7B.
Fremont Speedway will be back in action Saturday, July 13 with the AFCS 410 and 305 sprints and dirt trucks in action on Crown Battery Night.

About Root’s Poultry - https://www.rootspoultry.com
Wayne Root was stringing phone lines when the Great Depression hit. To support his family, Root began buying produce and other foods from local farmers and taking them to market in the Cleveland area. In Cleveland, he would purchase products to bring back and sell to the farmers. At some point Wayne started raising his own chickens to butcher and take to market and that evolved into a chicken processing facility.
The facility where Roots Poultry is located today near Fremont opened in early 1956. It still had an area in the back where chickens were brought in, a processing area in the middle and, in the front, a retail store. Due to a change in federal law, Wayne quit raising and dressing his own chickens and Roots became a processor. Later, Wayne’s grandchildren Mark and Mike Damschroder were working in the business and in 1985 bought it from their grandmother.
The company had evolved to the point that it was producing ready-to-eat chicken products. Shredded chicken became the company’s bread-and-butter product, but later the company added barbeque pork and other pork and beef products under the Daisyfield brand. Today Roots produces over two dozen products and all can be found in the freezer section at area retail stores.

Hunter Schuerenberg Snags Repeat Victory with POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprints at Lake Ozark Speedway
Eldon, MO. (7/5/24) Hunter Schuerenberg would seize the opportunity to return
to victory lane with the POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprint in Night One of the
Independence Celebrations presented by Start2Finish TV to notch his
second-straight league victory and pocket the payday in an action-packed feature
event at Lake Ozark Speedway.
Flying onto the smooth surface with thirty-one talented entrants of the POWRi
410’s would see Jake Bubak set a quick qualifying time of 11.507-second lap with
Tim Estenson, Kyle Bellm, Garet Williamson, and Hunter Schuerenberg each earning
heat racing victories as well as Max Guilford grabbing the lone semi-feature
victory.
Captivating the crowd on the initial green flag start with high-point
qualifier Hunter Schuerenberg and Emerson Axsom lined up in the front row as
Schuerenberg would shoot to the lead on the opening lap with Axsom, Joe B
Miller, Jake Bubak, and Blake Hahn all racing within the early top five.
Overtaking for the top-spot would find Emerson Axsom leading the pack of
hungry POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprinters for a total of seventeen laps while appearing
to be in a class above the competition with Hunter Schuerenberg settling into
the runner up position as Joe B Miller continued to stalk in third.
Setting the stage for late-race dramatics, Hunter Schuerenberg would use
perfect timing on a choose-cone restart to slide into the front-scored spot and
hold the final revolutions with Axsom racing rapidly to recover in runner-up
placement.
Going back-to-back in victories, Hunter Schuerenberg would not be denied
leading eight laps and earning his second career POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprint victory
in an action-packed main event with Emerson Axsom settling for the runner-up
position late.
“You just have to play the hand that is dealt to you. This track was a bit
dryer, faster, and trickier than we expected tonight, I made one mistake in lap
traffic and Emerson was right there to get by me. That last restart was key and
I knew I had to get to the bottom before he could shut the door because the top
was curby and tough” said the elated Hunter Schuerenberg in the Eldon Missouri
victory lane ceremony celebrations. Adding, “These young kids can race hard but
clean so that makes this so much better”.
Challenging closely behind would find Jake Bubak placing on the final podium
placement from the starting fifth on the initial green flag. Ayrton Gennetten
would be among the frontrunners late in the feature to finish fourth as Roger
Crockett would round out the top-five finishers for the POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprints
in Night One of the Independence Celebrations at Lake Ozark Speedway.

Friesen Finds Victory Lane in CNY Speedweek Night One
By Curtis Berleue (Vernon, NY) | Making a rare sprint car start, NASCAR Truck
series driver Stewart Friesen picked up his fourth CNY Speedweek victory and
first since 2015 on Thursday night at Utica-Rome Speedway. Driving for Glenn
Styres, the now Sprakers, NY driver fended off multiple charges from Jordan
Poirier for the $2,500 victory.
Pinnacle pole award winner Stewart Friesen brought the field to green with
Jordan Poirier on his outside. Going into turn one, Poirier took the early
advantage on the outside. Before a lap could be completed, however, the first
caution flew for multiple slowing cars.
The ensuing restart saw another caution before the field could reach turn 3,
this time for Josh Pieniazek in turn 1. The third restart was the charm, though,
as a lap was able to be completed and Friesen was able to jump out to the lead.
As Friesen clicked off lap 5, he started navigating lap traffic, with Poirier,
Billy VanInwegen, Danny Varin and Jordan Thomas in tow. The next lap, however,
another caution flew, this time for a slowing Chris Hile.
Poirier was able to take full advantage of the restart, as he got a good run
around the top and took the lead from Friesen. Behind the leaders, Matt Tanner
was the star of the show as he had worked his way from the 22nd starting
position to 9th in the first 10 laps.
Another caution on lap 12 slowed the field again, and it spelled heartbreak for
Tanner as an issue under caution ended his march to the front.
Friesen was able to re-take the lead from Poirier on the restart, working the
high side. Danny Varin followed in third, with Billy VanInwegen now in fourth
and Joe Trenca rounding out the top 5.
With Friesen opening up his lead over Poirier, all eyes were on the battle for
5th as Trenca and Davie Franek would trade slide jobs on each end of the track.
Friesen was able to continue pulling away from the rest of the field and crossed
under the checkers with over a 5 second lead.
“That was a blast, big thanks to Glenn and the whole GSR crew, they’re building
these cars and motors in house now, and they were great” said Friesen in victory
lane. “I didn’t fire off real good on the bottom on restarts. I would overshoot
turn one and then Jordan would get me.”
“The track was great though, even with as slick as it was we could race all over
it.”
Jordan Poirier crossed the line in second, a solid start to CNY Speedweek.
“I tried to start slow, I knew if I started slow I could have the momentum on
the top side,” said Poirier. “I knew if he got out in front of me, it was going
to be tough to pass him.”
“He was super fast in 3 and 4, and it seemed like my car was just a little bit
tighter. Hopefully tomorrow will go just like tonight and we can finish up
front.”
Rounding out the Ashley Lynn Winery podium was Danny Varin.
“It was tough tonight,” said Varin. “When you start with those guys on the front
row its going to be tough to beat them. Hats off to those guys, we made our car
better all night but we were just off a little bit at the beginning of the night
and were just trying to catch up a little bit.
With 37 cars signed in on the night, the field was split into four timed hot lap
groups. Rifenburg Contracting fast time awards went to Joe Trenca, Jason Barney,
Jordan Poirier, and Matt Farnham. E&V Energy heat race winners were Joe Trenca,
Jason Barney, Jordan Poirier and Jordan Thomas. Shawn Donath picked up the
Kinney’s Kar Kare dash, and Alex Therrien won the Lacaillade Masonry B-Main.

Thomas gets 3rd 410 win at Attica; Moore earns third late model victory; Sebetto drives to 2nd 305 win at Attica
Friday, July 5, 2024
By Brian Liskai
ATTICA, Ohio – Cale Thomas took the lead with only five laps to go in the 410 sprint feature Friday, July 5 at Attica Raceway Park and drove to his third win of the year at the track on Heidelberg Materials/Sutton Bank Fan Appreciation Night.
Thomas, from Fairland, Indiana, now has five total wins in 2024. Attica’s point leader increases his advantage in the points with the All Pro Aluminum Cylinder Heads Attica Fremont Championship Series presented by the Baumann Auto Group. Thomas’ win aboard the Jay Kiser Racing #23 is his sixth podium run of the year at Attica Raceway Park. He now has five career victories at “Ohio’s Finest Racing” speed plant.
Darin Naida led the opening lap of the Callie’s Performance Products 410 Sprint A-main but third starter Zeth Sabo bolted into the top spot a lap later. Sabo built up a 1.5 second lead by the half-way point with Naida, Thomas, Cap Henry and Kalib Henry in tow. With 9 laps to go Thomas disposed of Naida and began closing on Sabo, driving into the lead on lap 25. While Thomas pulled away, the action for second was wild involving Naida, Sabo, Cap Henry and Kalib Henry. At the checkers behind Thomas, Sabo, Cap Henry, Kalib Henry and Naida rounded out the top five.
“I was struggling there at the beginning. The motor was 140 degrees…we had a problem with our engine heater before we went out. These things don’t like being cold and it kind of made it a hand full even when I got myself situated and the motor was good I couldn’t keep the front end down on this thing. Once we got the fuel load off a little bit and got closer to dirty air and I seemed to stay about the same speed when it slowed those other guys down,” said Thomas beside his Spanky’s Pizza, Shelluke’s Bar & Grill, Automatic Fire Protection, Ohio Refrigeration, Ohio Heating, Engler Machine, BH 41, TMH Holdings, Berryman Racing Shocks, Keizer Wheels backed machine.
Colin Shipley led the first 15 laps of the Whistle Stop Presents the Dirt Nerds Podcast Powered by Propane UMP Late Model A-main before Kyle Moore drove around the high side to take the point and drive away for his second straight win at Attica. It’s Moore’s third victory of 2024 at Attica and an incredible eighth straight podium finish at the track. Shipley, JR Gentry, Devin Shiels and Ryan Markham rounded out the top five.
“I was watching Colin but there wasn’t too much I could do…he was letting it hang out getting in and I couldn’t diamond it off in one and two. I followed him and he left a lot of room getting into turn four. I got a run and it was like here it is. We took the point lead and we got another win and this is awesome,” said Moore beside his Kepling Flooring, Tye Tworg Longhorn, Joyride Transportation, Smitley Towing, Short Stop, Malcuit Race Engines, Wilson Realty, Robin Jakubick, RL Bond Septic, Hepthorn Golf Cart Sales, House of Spud, K&B Septic Service, Coffman Composites, Team Midwest Paint, Platinum Design backed #1*
Steve Rando led the first lap of the Fremont Fence 305 Sprints A-main before five time track champion Jamie Miller drove to the lead. Miller built up a nearly three second lead but while slicing through lapped traffic with 10 laps to go, a pair spun, collecting Miller. Rando led on the restart but eighth starter Bryan Sebetto drove under him and took the top spot on lap 17. Sebetto drove away to his second win of the season at Attica and his 16th career victory in the division at the track. It was also Sebetto’s fifth overall victory of 2024.
Rando, Logan Riehl, Brenden Torok and Miller, who drove from the tail after his mid race mishap, rounded out the top five. Miller’s efforts ensure he will remain atop the NAPA of Bryan Attica Fremont Championship Series presented by Jason Dietsch Trailer Sales standings.
“We got off of what we were doing at the beginning of the year there for a little stretch just trying to get better and we were actually getting worse. We went back to what we know and what was working. Guy and Chase and Kevin have this car so good and so driveable right now. We’re at a point where we are just fine tuning here and there. Doug Berryman built us a new left rear shock to try tonight and it was really good,” said Sebetto beside his Sandusky Bay Remodeling, JLH General Contractor, Sandusky Bay RV Rentals, KH Suspension, Race Ready Apparrel, NAPA of Fremont, Clay Keim, Depot Pizza, CA Kustoms, Level Performance backed #01.
Attica Raceway Park will be back in action Tuesday, July 16 for the 36th Annual Ohio Logistics Brad Doty Classic Presented by dac Pet Products featuring the World of Outlaw NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series.

PADDOCK SCORES FIRST CAREER CRSA VICTORY AT LAND OF LEGENDS
Race Report By: Marty Czekala – July 5, 2024
CANANDAIGUA, N.Y. – Land of Legends Raceway just loves first-time winners.
May 18, it was Matt Rotz’s time to score his first career victory.
On Independence Day? It was Dillon Paddock.
The No. 8 took the checkered flag for his first career CRSA victory to become the 79th different winner in CRSA history.
“It’s about time,” Paddock said post-race. “I feel like it was long overdue. All my guys and sponsors stick with me. No one gives up. They want to see us do good and we keep coming out no matter what happens the week prior.”
Paddock had a two-second lead over Darryl Ruggles with two laps to go. As he came to the white flag, a caution waved for fifth place running Tyler Chartrand and Dustin Sehn, colliding in turn three.
"I don't really think too much [about it,]" said Paddock on the final yellow. "I didn’t know I had that much of a lead. Makes me get a lot more confidence in the car.”
This stacked the field back up for a green-white-checkered. Ruggles went low while Paddock stayed high, using the outside as momentum to pull away and take the win.
Paddock and Tomy Moreau started on the front row for the second DisBatch Brewing Company Challenge race. The No. 8 wasted no time getting to the front with Ruggles behind. The Land of Legends Wall of Famer would throw a slidejob into turn one to his No. 48jr out front on lap three. The two would go wheel-to-wheel in the opening circuits with Ruggles.
Lap five would bring out the feature's first yellow for Ethan Gray, who suffered a mechanical issue.
On the restart, "The Motorized Madman," Ruggles held serve and opened a gap after Paddock had a risky restart. That lead of up to a second wouldn’t last long as on lap 13 into turn three, Paddock threw a slide job to snatch the lead back.
When in lapped traffic, Paddock was cruising past backmarkers like it was a Sunday drive, increasing the lead to 2.7 seconds, the race’s biggest lead. But then with two to go, Chartrand and Sehn brought out the race’s second and final yellow.
Ruggles grabbed an opportunity to go for the lead, but Paddock would take his first career win by 1.4 seconds.
The battle for the win brought déjà vu to both Paddock and Ruggles as June 1 in weekly action at Land of Legends saw the two race each other hard for the win, with Ruggles taking the checkers for the 48th time at his home track in a 305 Sprint.
This time? Paddock leveled the score.
“I stuck to what I was doing, ripping the top and keeping my momentum up,” Paddock said. “Darryl was getting a little snug where I would catch him and put the move on. Felt good to pass someone like Darryl who has so many wins and is one of the top guys here every week.”
“Dillon’s a good, clean driver and runs very well,” stated Ruggles post-race. “I was just a little tight the whole race. I got out front, he saw where I was running. He was really fast and due for one.”
Tomy Moreau also was a factor at one point. The No. 22 driver kept his car within the top five all night and, at one point, with nine to go, closed in on Paddock and Ruggles for the lead before getting too high in turns one and two. It was still a good points night for "The Canadian Kid," finishing ahead of Jordan Hutton and the latter finished fifth.
“I got to thinking about points racing too because we’re racing Saturday,” explained Moreau. “I can’t crash the car. I felt we were as fast as Darryl and Dillon but at times I couldn’t make the pass each deal. Pretty happy and going to try again Saturday.”
John Cunningham was the feature’s Powdertech Powdercoating Hard Charger, starting 23rd and finishing 11th.
Blake Warner’s last lap pass to win heat four was named the Maguire Family of Dealerships “Magnificent Move of the Race.”
Shane Golobic, Anthony Slaney and Kevin Jinkerson claim 4th of July wins in Placerville
By Gary Thomas
Placerville, CA…Fremont’s Shane Golobic made the move by Dylan Bloomfield on lap 13 and went on to claim his 15th career Placerville Speedway Winged 360 Sprint Car victory on Independence Day.
A large and vocal crowd during the 4th of July special also witnessed Diamond Springs’ Kevin Jinkerson and Martinez driver Anthony Slaney scoop wins with the Red Hawk Casino Pure Stocks and Mountain Democrat Late Models respectively.
Oakley’s Dylan Bloomfield set the early pace in the 25-lap Thompson’s Winged Sprint Car feature. The action was hot and heavy in the opening stages of the contest as drivers battled on every square inch of the quarter mile.
Golobic, however, ran smooth and calculated laps, until turning up the heat by moving into second on lap 11, before snatching the lead around the outside on lap 13. Once in front the former World of Outlaws winner at Placerville dominated things and grabbed the checkered flag for victory. By doing so he tied Billy Wallace and Colby Wiesz on the all-time Winged 360 win list at the track.
Bloomfield crossed the stripe in second followed by Tony Gomes, row 9 started Michael Faccinto and Austin Wood in the top-5. Completing the top-10 were Dominic Gorden, Bubba Decaires, Justin Peck, Ashlyn Rodriguez and Tyler Thompson.
In the Mountain Democrat Ltd. Late Model finale, it was Auburn’s Ray Trimble who jumped out front. Trimble led for a couple laps until Anthony Slaney powered by to grab the point. After that it was all Slaney, who pulled away for his third victory of the year at the track.
Dan Brown Jr. came home in second followed by Jay Norton, Kiely Ricardo and Tyler Lightfoot.
The Red Hawk Casino Pure Stocks provided an entertaining 20-lap feature on Independence Day. The Jinkerson brothers, Kevin and Dan, battled for the lead early with Nick Baldwin right there with them every step of the way.
Kevin Jinkerson took the point and had Baldwin all over him right down to the wire. Jinkerson picked up the win for his second straight triumph at Placerville Speedway and in doing so, took over the point lead. Baldwin finished second ahead of Tommy Sturgeon, Wayne Trimble and Jason Ramos.
Placerville Speedway returns with Red Hawk Casino Night on Saturday. The program will start one hour later than usual with the warm temps forecasted. The front gate will open at 4pm with cars on track around 6:15.

KASEY JEDRZEJEK STRIKES AGAIN AT CRYSTAL MOTOR SPEEDWAY
Crystal , MI - Lagrange, OH native Kasey Jedrzejek wins his second Feature Race with the Great Lakes Super Sprints presented by Engine Pro & ARP Saturday night. Jedrzejek was hoping to bring home his second GLSS win tonight at Crystal and he was able to pull it off!
The moment Jedrzejek hit the track, he dominated! By the end of the first lap, he had overtaken Max Stambaugh (Elida, OH), who had started in pole position. It was a remarkably clean race, with 23 caution-free laps. On the 22nd lap, Stambaugh was hot on Jedrzejek's tail and nearly passed him before the yellow flag came out. During the restart, Kasey maintained his lead for the final two laps. With the good fortune of drawing the second position in the redraw, Kasey skillfully navigated through lap traffic to clinch his second Michigan CAT Sprint Division win of the 2024 season! Gary Taylor took home tonight's Operating Engineer's 324 Hard Charger moving up a total of five positions.

Courtney, of Indianapolis, roared from third and into the lead after a lap 24 restart and went on to earn $10,000 with his fourth Kubota High Limit Racing feature win of the season. He beat Brad Sweet at the finish with James McFadden capturing third.
The series returns for Saturday night's Diamond Classic finale with $25,000 awaiting the feature winner.
"The last time I ran here, I won in a Midget (in 2016) and it's pretty cool to come back in a winged car and have success," the ninth-starting Courtney said in victory lane. "That was fun, a lot of fun."
Courtney, driving for Clauson Marshall Racing, finished two seconds clear at the checkers as he pulled away from Brad Sweet and the rest after taking the lead on lap 25. He was the fourth and final leader of the 30-lapper.
"The track was quite a bit different than the heats, but I don't think you could ask for much more than that," Courtney said of the action-packed event. "There was racing everywhere. A hot day, but a great day."
Courtney picked up an additional $4,500 along with lucky fan Patrick Walker after the Durst Dice Roll, which was a nine - and Courtney won from ninth.
Sye Lynch won the drag race with fellow front-row starter Corey Day and grabbed the lead at the drop of the green, with Sweet settling into third. The top three were separated by only one second when the first caution flew on lap three.
Day grabbed the lead away from Lynch on the restart and used the cushion on the high side to open a 1.7-second lead in just four laps. He soon was dealing with lapped traffic and suddenly slowed to a crawl entering turn three on lap 10.
Day, who won two nights earlier at Lake Ozark Speedway, was unable to continue. Lynch re-inherited the lead with Sweet second and Courtney third. Lynch pulled away after the restart to lead by nearly two seconds by lap 15. Action ground to a half at that point as Brent Marks rolled his car in turn four, bringing out the red flag.
Sweet swept to the lead after the restart, coming on the outside of turn four to complete lap 17. Before he could get too far away from Lynch, a lap-20 caution flew as two cars spun in turn four.
Lynch was applying the heat to Sweet with Courtney right behind when a caution appeared on lap 23 for a one-car spin in turn four, leaving seven laps to settle things. Courtney took second away from Lynch on lap 24, then grabbed the top spot the next time around.
Courtney rolled from there, driving away for the victory over series points leader Sweet. McFadden, who started 13th, captured third with 14th-starting Tanner Thorson fourth and Lynch winding up fifth.
"Luckily I was third there and Sye got Brad to moving around," Courtney said. "I just stuck to my guns there and just ran the top as hard as I could and came away with the win."
Sweet said his car was not quite have the car dialed in enough to win.
"I'm happy to get locked into a little bit better spot for tomorrow," Sweet said. "That's important on this prelim nights to run top four. I felt I wasn't quite good enough to win, no matter which line I was trying to run or make work it seemed like someone was pushing me.
"Sye was getting back to my inside, so I committed to the inside. I just wasn't good enough. I had to slow the car down way too much to run the bottom, but running the top I would get spinning on the (turn) exit. Tyler was just clearly a little bit better than us tonight."
Marks of Myerstown, Pa., set the fast qualifying time with a lap of 13.039 seocnds. That came up just shy of the track record held by Garet Williamson, who ran a 12.998 in the POWRi 410 Bandit Sprint Series on Aug. 19, 2023.
Tyler Davis wins Heartland Modifieds: Tyler Davis of Haysville, Kan., took over the lead on lap 21 and held on to beat Tad Davis by half a second in the Heartland Modified Tour feature.
Tad Davis rolled to the lead at the start and opened a 1.1-second lead over Chad Wheeler by lap 10. The leaders hit heavy lapped traffic soon after with Wheeler pulling alongside Tad Davis a couple of times, but was unable to get by.
Tyler Davis joined the battle with Wheeler for second and he was able to take over with four laps to go. Gabe Hodges rallied late to grab third with Wheeler fourth and Kenton Allen coming home in fifth.
The winner said he felt the continuous green-flag run worked to his advantage. Tyler Davis started third, right behind Tad Davis and Wheeler.
"When we first took off, it was kind of humid out here tonight and it's easy to spin the tires," Tyler Davis said. "Once we got rolling, the maneuverability of our car showed. We've got some new stuff we were trying tonight and it was pretty good.
"I'm glad to get back to victory lane. We've been getting our butt kicked lately against the USMTS Tour. I'm just happy to be up here."
The Heartland Modified Tour will again be in action as support class for Saturday's Diamond Classic finale.

Lucius earns 2nd 410 Attica win; Moore dominates late model feature; Miller nabs 5th 305 win
Friday, June 28, 2024
By Brian Liskai
ATTICA, Ohio – Bryce Lucius just had to settle down and let the car come to him Friday, June 28 at Attica Raceway Park. The 17-year-old Findlay, Ohio driver battled with a couple of other racers early and withstood challenges late to score his second Attica win of the season on Smith Family Foods/Columbus Equipment/Etna Supply Night.
Jordan Ryan led the opening lap of the Callie’s Performance Products 410 Sprint A-main with pressure from Lucius and Zeth Sabo. Lucius took over the point on lap two but had Sabo racing to his inside lap after lap before Cale Thomas entered the picture and took second on lap seven. Thomas poked his nose under Lucius several times but could not get clear to take the lead. Lucius, the 2023 national 410 rookie of the year, worked lapped traffic like a seasoned veteran and drove to the win over Thomas, Sabo, Cap Henry and Greg Wilson.
“My dad, Swank (Tyler), Drew and my mom had me good. Luckily we were able to start on the pole. I’m glad Zeth (Sabo) didn’t take me out…I was out of control those first couple of laps. I had to get the wing back and everything. Me and Cale (Thomas) race each other pretty good…I knew I’d be good racing with him for the win,” said Lucius beside his X1 Race Cars, CML Transport, Kistler Engines, Big Red Truck Wash, STP Racing, Bobby Clark Racing, Shelluke’s Bar & Grill, Fremont Floor Covering, S&B Concrete & Excavating, Foster Auto Body, NAPA of Bryan, 87 Speed backed #32.
Mansfield, Ohio’s Kyle Moore seemed comfortable to cruise around the top five early in the 25-lap Whistle Stop Presents the Dirt Nerds Podcast Powered by Propane UMP Late Model feature. Mike Bores led the opening lap with JR Gentry taking over a lap later and pulled out to a substantial lead while Bores, Moore and Devin Shiels battled for second. When Gentry hit lapped traffic just past halfway, Moore shot to the high side of the track and closed, driving by Gentry on lap 16. Moore cruised to his second career Attica win over Gentry, Shiels, Bores and Colin Shipley.
“I wasn’t sure what the hell I was doing early in that race. I was like well I’m going to the top because this ain’t working. That track was hands down the best track I’ve ever been on. I have to thank my brother….man he’s been grinding from day one with me and Tye Tworg for giving me this hot rod. Hands down the best race car I’ve ever drove. My buddy Ben from Ankeny, Iowa. He helps us out a lot…crazy how we met but he helps a lot,” said Moore beside his Kepling Flooring, Tye Tworg Longhorn, Joyride Transportation, Smitley Towing, Short Stop, Malcuit Race Engines, Wilson Realty, Robin Jakubick, RL Bond Septic, Hepthorn Golf Cart Sales, House of Spud, K&B Septic Service, Coffman Composites, Team Midwest Paint, Platinum Design backed #1*.
Fremont, Ohio’s Jamie Miller is having a fantastic season. The four time and defending Attica 305 track champion led all 25 laps Friday to score fifth win of the year – the 44th of his career – at Attica Raceway Park. Coupled with his three wins at Fremont Speedway, Miller has eight total feature wins in 2024.
Following Miller to the checkers were Dustin Stroup, Brenden Torok, Jimmy McGrath and Steve Rando.
“Riehl Custom Fabrication Chassis are bad ass. If you aren’t in one you’re following one. This thing was good and I think I’m finally figuring out how to run the bottom,” said Miller beside his Boca Construction, JLH General Contractors, Kenny Kolb Farms, Tuck Pointing America, Queen of Clean, Smitty’s Pizza, Roberts & Sons Contracting, Pizza Wheel, Crown Battery, Reedtown Tavern, Fostoria Mod Shop, Sandy’s Dad, Gressman Powersports, Phil Rister, Slade Shock Technology backed #26.

Spahr wins from 11th at Port Royal
06-24-2024
It was a performance reminiscent of a year ago for River Valley Builders PA Sprint Series defending points champion Logan Spahr of Lewisberry. Starting 11th in a strong field of IMCA/RaceSaver sprint cars, Spahr blasted through the field and took the lead from race-long frontrunner Doug Dodson of Middletown with two laps to go, crossing under the checkered flags in front by 2.179 seconds for his second win of 2024.
That’s not in the same league as the Wally Eshenaur-owned KR MacDonald Inc./High Tech Metals/R.L. Snyder Electric #5’s performance last year, when Spahr won seven of the year’s first 10 races (one in his family-owned #14), but it was the team’s second of the year and at the least a hint of better things to come, and it was especially welcome with PASS’s return to Port Royal this weekend for the season’s biggest race, the Keystone RaceSaver Challenge.
Despite the disappointment of not winning, it also was a boost for the veteran Dodson, who had scored top-ten finishes in six of seven starts this year but had no finish higher than fourth.
Performance and luck might go hand-in-hand there. Dodson is notoriously unlucky with redraws for feature starting position, and his draw for the outside front row Saturday was a pleasant shock. He took advantage of it, outgunning Kruz Kepner of Kreamer for the initial lead. Zach Rhodes of McVeytown then engaged Kepner in a prolonged battle for second and secured the position on lap eight. Meanwhile, Spahr was working his way through the field.
The feature’s only caution flew on lap 10, just as the leaders were entering lapped traffic, when John Walp of Wapwallopen slowed on the track and went to the pits. Following the restart, Spahr was able to get past both Kepner and Rhodes and set his sights on the leader.
When Spahr caught up to Dodson, the two waged a fierce, four-lap battle for the lead before the decisive pass.
Behind Spahr and Dodson at the checkered was Rhodes in third, Kepner in fourth, and Drew Young of Beaver Springs took fifth.
Ken Duke Jr., Jeff Paulson, Owen Dimm, Kenny Heffner, and rookie Kolby Weaver completed the top ten.
The passing behind the leaders was incredible, given that the track had already taken more than 100 green-flag laps by 410 sprints and late models. Duke earned the Penns Valley Meat Markets Hard Charger Award for coming from 17th starting position to 6th at the finish. Kasey Weaver also advanced 11 spots, from 24th to 13th, and Kenny Heffner matched Spahr’s 10-position gain, charging from 19th to 9th. Virginian Jerald Harris and Laurel Highlands Sprint Series regular Josh Beamer each moved up eight spots, and Austin Reed and Owen Dimm each advanced six.
Heat races for the 42 IMCA/RaceSaver sprinters on hand went to Rhodes, Kolby Weaver, Dodson, and Erin Statler, with “Nitro” Nick Sweigart besting the 19-car B-Main.
Tim Iulg, one of several New Jersey and Eastern Pennsylvania drivers who hauled to Port Royal after New Egypt Speedway cancelled its Mid Atlantic Sprint Series racing due to heat concerns, took a wild ride after tangling with another car in turn one of the second heat’s first lap. He was done for the night.
Buddy Schweibinz, another of the New Jersey invaders and the two-time defending Mid-American Champion, was running second in the B-Main when he slowed and went pitside with two laps to go.
This week’s River Valley Builders PA Sprint Series action is special, with the season’s only visit to Big Diamond Speedway on Friday, and then the Keystone RaceSaver Challenge at Port Royal Saturday. This race features the season’s largest overall purse – still faithful to the commitment to having 24th place pay half of what first place pays – and lap and contingency sponsors are still being sought. Anyone interested in making this special event even more special should go to keystoneracesaverchallenge.com for information and a sign-up form.
PASS is dedicated to the heritage of RaceSaver with stable and enforceable rules, consistent rules application and fair purse distribution paying 24th place one half of first place.

LOGAN MITCHELL SCORES FOURTH WMR WIN OF 2024 WITH VENTURA RACEWAY TRIUMPH
VENTURA, CALIFORNIA (June 23, 2024) – Logan Mitchell of Santa Cruz steered
his No. 96x Western Midget Racing entry to his fourth win of the season against
one of the strongest fields of the year on a foggy Saturday night at Ventura
Raceway. Mitchell’s win boosts his championship lead to an eight point advantage
over 2023 champion Bryant Bell of Oakley with the series’ biggest weekend
looming large for the Howard Kaeding Classic in July.
Lodi’s Nate Wait and Sacramento’s Isaiah Vasquez split the eight-lap heat
races. Mitchell and season-opening Ventura winner Anthony Bruno of San Jose
shared the front row for the 20-lap feature. The field of 14 Midgets served as a
the main event of the night at the dirt track along the Pacific Ocean.
After a quick caution at the start of the race, trouble struck for Bruno from
second on the following restart. Bruno stumbled on the restart with his teammate
Bell and Wait spinning in the ensuing melee in turn four. Bell was relegated to
restarting from the rear of the field because of the incident.
Mitchell paced the field the rest of the way with Micro Sprint standout Teddy
Bivert of Idaho making a strong debut in second. Bell was the hardest charger of
the evening, putting on a valiant effort to drive back into third. Vasquez and
Las Vegas’ Kyle Hawse rounded out the top-five finishers.
Western Midget Racing heads to Ocean Speedway in Watsonville on July 12 and
13 for one of its signature events with the two-day Howard Kaeding Classic. They
will be the support division for the NARC 410 Sprint Car Series.

CALEB DEBEM EARNS SECOND CONSECUTIVE OCEAN SPRINTS FEATURE IN WATSONVILLE
WATSONVILLE, CALIFORNIA (June 21, 2024) – Ocean Sprints presented by Taco
Bravo points leader Caleb Debem of Salinas scored his second consecutive series
win during Friday night’s action at Ocean Speedway in Watsonville. Debem won the
25-lap feature for the Winged 360 Sprint Cars and was joined by Rob Gallaher,
Terre Rothweiler, and Thomas Cumming as race winners at the Santa Cruz County
Fairgrounds dirt track.
Jake Haulot of Cotati led the Ocean Sprints time trials before Gilroy’s Kurt
Nelson and Brentwood’s Adrianna DeMartini snared the heat races.
Haulot and Debem shared the front row for the feature. Debem worked his way
to the inside of Haulot in turn three on the opening lap to take the lead. Vince
Giannotta of Hollister spun in turn two for the first caution on lap four.
Nelson seized second from Haulot on the restart. Orval Burke of Salinas
suffered a major flip in turn two while running sixth, drawing a red flag on lap
nine. Burke was uninjured.
Debem charged to a comfortable advantage of 1.4 seconds over Nelson,
nullified when Salinas’ Jason Chisum went around on lap 18 in turn two.
Back-to-back cautions on lap 22 saw Haulot and Nelson trade blows for second but
Nelson used the second attempt to successfully defend the position.
Caleb Debem cruised over the final three laps to top Nelson, Haulot, Bradley
Dillard of Oakdale, and DeMartini at the checkered flag.
A solid field of Hobby Stocks endured a full moon marathon of a 20-lap
feature. Outside pole sitter Rob Gallaher of San Jose led all 20-laps and held
court through half a dozen restarts.
The race’s largest incident came on lap two when drivers attempted to go
three-wide for the fourth position. The ensuing crash ended the race for
Watsonville’s Sam Kennedy.
The last of the six cautions fell on lap 15. Gallaher motored ahead for the
win. San Jose’s Matt Kile, who had pitted after an opening lap crash, came back
strong to finish second. Adriane Frost of Watsonville finished third followed by
Bobby Gallaher and 2023 champion Joe Gallaher.
Santa Cruz’ Terre Rothweiler dominated the 20-lap South Bay Dwarf Car
feature, accumulating a half track advantage at the checkered flag. San Jose’s
Mark Biscardi showed his nose inside of Rothweiler heading into turn one on lap
two to no avail. Biscardi’s move ended up being Rothweiler’s closest challenge
of the race.
Concord’s Travis Day finished second followed by Biscardi, Dan Zuger of San
Jose, and Justin Bingman of Castroville.
Four Bangers enjoyed the opportunity to be the nightcap featured event with
their 16 vehicle field, made up of 14 cars and two trucks. The 20-lap feature
opened with a crash on the backstretch involving Shelbie Freeman of Prunedale
and Riley Killian of Prunedale. Freeman was unable to continue.
Polesitter Thomas Cumming of San Jose led the way before the next caution
when Johnny “Cash” Hubbird and Killian tangled on the front stretch. Amaya
Flower of Watsonville collided with Tony Gullo of Watsonville while trying to
avoid the crash, ending her race.
Kenny Stragalinos of Boulder Creek put on a hard charge, winning a long
battle with Gullo for second and then turning his attention to Cumming. Cumming
held on by a few car lengths for the win, followed by Stragalinos, Gullo,
Watsonville’s Lilly Mead, and Peter Vannerus of Felton.

SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST: Reese Nowotarski Survives a Marathon for First URC Win at BAPS
As teams rolled into the Baps Motor Speedway for the first time since April 27th they were greeted with blazing sunshine and high humidity. As hot laps grew closer so did the clouds. A pop up storm dumped for about 15 minutes nearly took all the air out of the crews and teams that's been clamoring to be back racing since April. But a fantastic effort by the entire track crew at Baps to bring the track back around for a great surface. While it felt like a marathon feature. One driver stood tall as Leesport,PA Reese Nowotarski became the 290th different winner in the 76 year history of the United Racing Club. Feature action got underway with Brett Wanner and Tylor Rutherford on the front row. The green wouldn't stay out long as Wanner would spin in turns 3 and 4 bringing out the first yellow. That would move Nowotarski to the front row alongside Rutherford. On the start it was Nowotarski taking the lead but the yellow would immediately return as Cole Knopp would spin in turn 2 and make hard contact with the wall bringing an end to his night. We would finally complete a lap on the next restart as Nowotarski would take the advantage over Rutherford. The green wouldn't stay out long as Fred Kennedy would spin out in turn 3 and bring the yellow back out. Green would return with Nowotarski taking the advantage. But the yellow laundry would fly again on lap 7 with Jon Brennfleck spinning and hard contact with the wall in turn 4 bringing an end to his evening. That would trigger an open red. After the open red it would be single file restarts. On the restart Kyle Smith would try to attempt to pass Rutherford on the inside of the cone. Under URC rules he would be penalized next stoppage of the race. It wouldn't take long as Rutherford would find himself jumping the cushion and flipping in turns 1 and 2 on lap 9. He would be ok. Smith would be docked 2 spots. Next yellow would come out as Kennedy would spin again. He would park it for the night. Finally got some laps together with Nowotarski running away and getting into lap traffic and mastering it beautifully. Behind him Smith and JT Ferry would have a great battle for the 2nd spot with Ken Meisner finding his way into this battle. But then the caution would come out once again with Jake Gallowy spinning in turn 3 on lap 18. The cautions would not be done as Robbie Stillwaggon would spin on lap 23 setting up a green white checkered finish. Nowotarski would get the jump with Ferry and Smith in tow. Smith would seem to lose his breaks and get passed for 3rd by Meisner, But it was all Nowotarski as he would dominate the feature leading all 25 laps for his first career 360 sprint car win. “Its awesome to to get the first sprint car win off the bucket list.”Nowotarski said after the race. “ I have plenty of 410 starts here so i've felt really comfortable coming here. I knew we would be good out of the box and having Ryan Smith and crew doing an amazing job the last month or so we really been clicking.” Josh Weller got the York Excavating hard charger coming from 16th to 4th and Derek Locke would round out the top 5. Next URC race will be Wednesday July 3rd at the Port Royal Speedway apart of Pennsylvania Speedweek.

Day Wins Dirt Cup 2024
6/22/24
By Kaleb Hart
Alger, WA - Corey Day wrote his name into Skagit Speedway history with a win at the 52nd Annual Jim Raper Memorial Dirt Cup. Day became part of the first father/son duo to win Dirt Cup, with his father Ronnie winning in 2000. The win paid Day a total of $79,600 in finish position and laps led money.
Zeb Wise led the opening 11 laps before Day marched into the top spot, using the high groove to whip around Wise for the lead on lap 12. Corey quickly put distance between himself and the field, with Wise falling into a furious battle with Cole Macedo and Jason Solwold for the runner up spot. The group fought for a few laps while Corey built his advantage, with Wise eventually re-securing second. By then, it was far too late as Day had enough track space and slower traffic between the two to drive comfortably to the win. Wise would claim runner up for the second straight year, with Macedo picking up third. Wise was the winner of the pole shuffle. Hunter Schuerenberg won the B Main and Levi Kuntz won the C. Four heat races were run to determine the back half of the pole shuffle starters. Those heat wins went to Jason Solwold, Justyn Cox, Cole Macedo and Colby Copeland.
The dual between Jared Peterson and Shane Smith at the front of the field in the NW Focus Midget series A Main lived up to the billing at the end. Peterson got the jump and set the pace, but as he rolled into traffic, Smith rolled right up to his rear bumper and spent the back half of the main bird dogging him all around the track. Peterson was up to the task, never leaving a large enough gap for Smith to drive under or around him to take the win. Smith was second and Alex Peck was third.

Willison Captures First MSR Sprint Win At Owosso; Henes Rules Midwest Lights
OVID, Mich. (June 22, 2024) – Canadian Aaron Willison dominated to capture his first Must See Racing Perfit Sprint Car Series victory Saturday night at Owosso Speedway.
Willison, a multi-time asphalt sprint car champion from Langley, British Columbia, raced from fifth to first in eight laps at the three-eighths-mile oval and then led the rest of the way in the No. 50m RAM Engineering Midwest sprinter for legendary car owner Dick Myers.
Despite three caution flags during the 40-lap main event, Willison still drove to a mammoth 10.762-second margin of victory over runner-up Joe Liguori, putting together one of the most impressive Must See Racing performances in recent memory.
“Dick and the whole RAM Engineering crew brought an absolutely outstanding race car to the track this weekend,” said Willison in victory lane. “For an old pail, she rolls hard and I’m honored to be driving it. I’ve had a lot of great opportunities lately to contend for wins, and to come out here and get my first Must See Racing win is a great feeling.”
Willison’s winning move came courtesy of an outside sweep in turn one, when he drove around early leader and reigning series champion Jason Blonde in commanding fashion.
“In the warm-up laps before the feature, I got up [in the high lane] and felt around a bit, so from that point I knew we had a stellar piece and the field might be in trouble,” he added with a big grin. “I had that move in my back pocket from the drop of the green and we made it pay off there.”
Behind Willison and Liguori, reigning Must See Racing rookie-of-the-year Kevin Mingus crossed the finish line in third place, earning a career-best finish for his family-owned No. Z10 team and putting himself into the conversation of contenders going forward.
Michigan’s Dorman Snyder was fourth and 2022 series champion Charlie Schultz, who started from the pole but had to rally back from a lap-20 spin in turn four, completed the top five.
Rick Holley, John Inman, Tommy Nichols, Teddy Alberts, and reigning series champion Jason Blonde were the balance of the top-10 finishers.
Blonde was in position to finish third Saturday night, but fell out of contention with a broken water line coming to two laps to go in the main event.
Schultz’s spin at the halfway point caused the only yellow flag during the 410 sprint car feature.
By virtue of his runner-up finish, Liguori assumed the unofficial point lead in the battle for the season championship.
In other racing action Saturday, inaugural Must See Racing Maxima Midwest Lights Series champion J.J. Henes opened his 2024 account with a victory in the night’s 30-lap Midwest Lights feature.
The third-generation racer powered from fourth to the lead on the outside lane during the opening lap and never trailed after that, defeating runner-up Andrew Bogusz by 5.858 seconds in the end.
Bogusz and two-time defending series champion Cody Gallogly filled out the podium, followed by sprint car rookie Luke Krick – a three-time Kalamazoo (Mich.) Speedway track champion – and polesitter Charlie Baur.
Cautions at laps three and eight – both for issues befalling the No. 38 of John Dale Evans – set up a pair of double-file restarts, but Henes got the advantage on the bottom groove both times and was never seriously threatened.
Bogusz eventually passed Gallogly with six laps left after the latter had a right-rear tire that began to delaminate, forcing Gallogly to nurse his familiar No. 27 to the checkered flag.
Scattered showers throughout the evening led to a two-hour rain delay just after qualifying had begun, leading track and series officials to move to an expedited program and scrap time trials and heat races.
As a result, practice times and an inversion dice roll set the lineups for both sprint car classes Saturday, but the weather held off long enough for both feature races to be completed.
Must See Racing will continue its season Friday night, July 5 at Birch Run Speedway and Event Center, where the tour’s national 410 sprint cars will race on the four-tenths-mile and the Midwest Lights will do battle on the facility’s inner, one-third-mile flat track.

410 sprint car feature (40 laps): 1. Aaron Willison, 2. Joe Liguori, 3. Kevin Mingus, 4. Dorman Snyder, 5. Charlie Schultz, 6. Rick Holley, 7. John Inman, 8. Tommy Nichols, 9. Teddy Alberts, 10. Jason Blonde, 11. Bobby Komisarski, 12. Jeff Bloom, 13. Shane Butler, 14. Tom Geren, 15. Joe Speakman (DNS).

Gordon Wins Jiim Raper Memorial Dirt Cup Prelim Night 2
6/21/24
By Kaleb Hart
Alger, WA - Night two of the 2024 Jim Raper Memorial Dirt Cup at Skagit Speedway saw Clovis, CA driver Dominic Gordon win his first career 410 feature in a thrilling display of talent. The top four in points who are locked into the pole shuffle for Saturday’s final are Zeb Wise, Justin Sanders, Tanner Holmes and Jason Solwold.
The battle up front began with Tanner Carrick in the lead running the high side and Chase Johnson coming after him down low. Roughly ten laps into that battle, Dominic Gordon entered the conversation by blasting around the top of the racetrack to pass Johnson and began his work on Carrick. Gordon and Carrick went wheel to wheel and nose to tail multiple times in their battle for the top spot, with Dominic sneaking it away briefly on lap 16 before Carrick snagged it back on lap 17. On the 20th time around Gordon would take the lead for good, using the momentum from the high side to roll past Carrick and add some pad to his advantage. With slower traffic looming, Gordon’s commitment to the high side paid off as he led the rest of the way en route to his first 410 win. Behind him, Justin Sanders raced from 10th up into second and Corey Day rolled from last after an opening lap restart all the way up to third. Jason Solwold was fast time. Heat winners were Shane Golobic, Bud Kaeding, Dylan Bloomfield and Hunter Schuerenberg. Skylar Gee won the C Feature and Colby Thornhill came out on top of the B.
Shane Smith was dominant in the NW Focus Midgets Series Main Event as he won for the first time in 2024 at Skagit Speedway. Smith led every lap of the main, enjoying a nearly seven second lead before a late caution brought the pack back to him. Nick Evans took second with Ashley Thompson rounding out the podium. Bryan Murphy and Evans won the heats.

Friday, June 21, 2024
By Brian Liskai

Henry now holds 19 career 410 wins at “Ohio’s Finest Racing” speed plant.
Stuart Brubaker jumped into the early lead of the 30-lap sprint feature with second starter Henry battling Trey Jacobs for second. Henry threw a slider on Brubaker in turns one and two on lap nine to take the lead with Jacobs driving into second two laps later. By the half-way point Jacobs had reeled Henry in and began pressuring for the lead. Disaster struck for Jacobs a lap later when he slid off the high side of turn four. On the restart Kasey Jedrzejek and Cale Thomas began pressuring Henry for the top spot. Following a caution on lap 20, Thomas bolted into second and battled the next hand full of laps with Henry, racing side by side for the lead. A bobble allowed Jedrzejek to move back into second on lap 27 but Henry had pulled away and drove to the win. Jedrzejek, Thomas, Tyler Street – who ran fourth the entire feature – and Zeth Sabo rounded out the top five.
“Thank goodness guys kept showing me where I needed to run. I tried the top and Trey and Cale showed me the bottom was working.

Schlenk pulled away for his fifth win of the season and the 43rd of his career at Attica. Bores, Moore, Noonan and Shiels rounded out the top five.
“The car got hot…it was about 260 there the last few laps and just kept climbing and climbing. Thank goodness we got into the lead so I could run in clean air and run around half throttle the last five laps. If I would have had to run wide open much more it would have blown up. This car has been awesome this crew has been awesome. I can’t say enough about my car owner Tyler Borck…he keeps this thing in tip top shape every week for me. That lets me concentrate on my kids and customers and stuff and he keeps this thing on point for me. We were a little off tonight…early in the night in our heat race. We put our heads together and got it tuned in for the feature,” said Schlenk beside his Buckeye Concrete Coatings, Terry Henricks Auto Group, Velocita USA, Dominator Race Products, Tom Finch Auto, Domination Race Cars, All Star Performance backed #91.

Wise Wins Jim Raper Memorial Dirt Cup Prelim Night 1
6/20/24
By kaleb Hart
Alger, WA - Preliminary nights for the Jim Raper Memorial Dirt Cup have traditionally been a bt wild. With points on the line all through the format, racers tend to bring all the intensity of a caged bull to Skagit Speedway and on Thursday night, they put on a show that was nothing short of crazy. When the dust settled in Victory Lane, Zeb Wise brought Rudeen Racing a win and the high point score of the evening in a thrilling affair.
Five different drivers led laps of the course of the 30 lap main event which paid $5,000 to win and massive points toward the Saturday A Main starting lineup. Colby Thornhill led the first ten laps before Willie Croft took the top spot on lap 11. Croft held serve through lap 19 before reigning champion Justin Sanders grabbed the lead on lap 20. His lead was short lived, as Corey Day ripped around the high groove and stole the top spot on lap 22, but gave it right back to Sanders on lap 23 as his tire started coming apart after repeatedly smashing the cushion and wall on his march forward. Sanders held control through lap 24 when Zeb Wise completed his methodical march up the field, using the middle of the racetrack to come from deep to take the lead and eventual win on lap 25. Sanders and Tanner Holmes rounded out the podium. Trey Starks was quick time. Heat wins went to DJ Netto, Day, Tyler Thompson and Greg Hamilton.. Chase Johnson won the C Feature while Dominc Gordon won the B Main.
As wild and rowdy as the sprint car night was, the NW Focus Midgets went without a yellow or red flag all night during their race action. In the 25 lap A Feature, Jared Peterson led wire to wire with little challenge in taking the win ahead of Alex Peck and Hannah Lindquist. Peterson won his heat race, as did Stewart Lee.

HUSET'S SPEEDWAY -
Huset's Speedway is a dirt oval located in Brandon, S.D. The track opened in 1954 and has undergone a large renovation within the last few years, making it a premier destination for both marquee racing events and weekly programs.
Courtney Captures Huset's Hustle Preliminary Night to Kick Off BillionAuto.com Huset's High Bank Nationals Presented by MENARDS Week at Huset's Speedway
Inside Line Promotions - BRANDON, S.D. (June 19, 2024) - Tyler Courtney topped a field of 55 elite sprint car drivers on Wednesday evening at Huset's Speedway, which hosted the preliminary night of the $100,000-to-win Huset's Hustle.
The six-figure finale of the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series' newest crown jewel event is slated for Thursday with the main gates opening at 4 p.m. and hot laps at 7 p.m.
Courtney was the third of three different leaders during the $20,000-to-win main event that kicked off the four-night BillionAuto.com Huset's High Bank Nationals presented by MENARDS. The spectacle features two six-figure payouts with Thursday's $100,000 Huset's Hustle finale and the $250,000-to-win - tying a World of Outlaws record - Huset's High Bank Nationals finale on Saturday.
"Hopefully we can be in the same spot tomorrow with a bigger check," Courtney said. "We put ourselves in a good spot for tomorrow. That's what tonight was all about."
The original start of Wednesday's 35-lap feature was called back after officials deemed leader Aaron Reutzel left early. That moved Ryan Timms to the outside of the front row for the complete restart and he took advantage, quickly powering into the top spot. Timms entered traffic on Lap 7 and held onto the lead until Sheldon Haudenschild slid in front of him in turns three and four on Lap 15.
Timms rallied right back one lap later, driving into the lead with a pass in turns three and four, before Haudenschild regained the lead on Lap 17 with a diamond move to exit turn four on the bottom.
Courtney, who started sixth, climbed into the top three by the midpoint of the feature and he passed Timms for second place on Lap 19. A red flag for a crash in front of the leaders on Lap 21 set up a restart. Courtney threw a slide job on Haudenschild in turns one and two, but Haudenschild drove around it. He stayed in front until Lap 28 when Courtney took the lead on the bottom in turn one. Seconds later, Haudenschild's right rear tire went flat in turns three and four.
That was the final caution of the race as Courtney executed a strong restart and cruised to his first career World of Outlaws win at Huset's Speedway.
"I just knew I was going to have to go somewhere else to beat Sheldon," he said. "I think he cut a tire. That's sucks because I really wanted to have a race with our NOS Energy Drink teammate."
Timms finished in the runner-up position.
"I felt really good early on," he said. "We had a really good initial start and took the lead there. Twenty laps went by super quick. When that caution came out and Haud and Courtney got by me I knew I had to figure something out. I'm happy with the run. I felt we had a really good car. We'll just take this night and go on to the rest of the week and hopefully get better."
Reutzel rounded out the podium as he edged Carson Macedo in a spirited battle for third place.
"I was struggling a little bit early," he said. "(With) a full fuel load I wasn't very good. There at the end, when the fuel started coming off, my car came to life."
Macedo placed fourth and Tim Kaeding drove to fifth.
Cory Eliason and Haudenschild were the quickest qualifiers in their groups. Austin McCarl, Rico Abreu, Macedo, Brad Sweet, Brock Zearfoss and Spencer Bayston were the heat race winners. Tyler Drueke captured the C Main and Eliason won the Last Chance Showdown.
Courtney leads the standings by three points over Macedo entering Thursday's program. Timms, Reutzel, Kaeding, Sweet, Giovanni Scelzi, Abreu, Buddy Kofoid and McCarl round out the top 10, respectively.

Eliason battles hard with Outlaws at Knoxville; Aims big at Huset’s Speedway
ByTyler Altmeyer
Jun 17, 2024
By Fully Injected Motorsports:
KNOXVILLE, Iowa (June 17, 2024) – An off weekend for High Limit Racing allowed Cory Eliason and Ridge & Sons Racing (RSR) to venture to the Sprint Car Capital of the World, ultimately joining the World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series in a two-day precursor to the coveted Knoxville Nationals. It was a slow start to the weekend for the Visalia, California, native, but his results turned the corner in a hurry, concluding action with a top-15 score on Saturday, June 15.

There’s a lot on the line all week so I’m excited for the opportunity that Brian and Lisa Ridge have given us.”

Danny Varin jumped out to an early lead over Pinnacle pole winner Logan Crisafulli, with Dalton Rombough and Matt Tanner settling in behind him. Rombough, however, made quick work of Crisafulli for second and got by him just a handful of laps later, setting his sights on Varin for the lead.
Closing quickly on Varin, Rombough was soon at Varin’s bumper and was able to slip underneath Varin exiting turn two for the lead.
Behind Rombough, Matt Tanner had caught the #01 of Varin and was all over his bumper for second until a mistake entering turn two just after halfway let Kelly Hebing slip by him.
As the laps clicked by, and with Rombough checked out, Hebing meticulously stalked Varin, eventually getting by him to take second.
With over a half track lead on Hebing for second, Rombough went unchallenged for the remainder of the event and picked up the $4,000 victory.
“We took a little stagger out, dropped the wings and made a little bit of air pressure adjustments after the heat,” said Rombaugh. “The track kinda came to us a little bit in the feature and it worked out pretty well tonight.”
Kelly Hebing crossed the line in second after starting sixth.
“It was good, I can’t complain. I can’t lie either and say I don’t want one spot more,” said Hebing. “When I saw halfway it was time to go and get around Varin.”
“Not two laps later, I snapped my brake pedal and had to move my line up a little to keep my momentum up. I was able to tuck in between two lap cars and make one big car so Danny couldn’t get me back.”
Danny Varin, winner of the event two years ago, crossed the line in third for another podium finish.
“The guys worked hard, trying to make the car better,” said Varin. “We just missed it today; we weren’t really good in hot laps and made it a little bit better in the heat race. We went in the right direction for the feature, just needed a little bit more.”
Picking up E&V Energy heat wins on the night were Logan Crisafulli and Dalton Rombough. As part of the evenings special events, fans in attendance were also able to get up close and personal with the stars of the Empire Super Sprints for an on track autograph session and both Rombough and Hebing participated in a ‘pie in the face’ contest to raise money for the Children’s Miracle Network of Northern NY.

Rudolph Repeats; Weaver Wins First; Mollick, Conner and Whitling also Score
(Franklin, PA June 16, 2024): On Father’s day, Tri-City Raceway Park presented a Sunday Thunder program with a bonus feature for the Hovis Auto & Truck Supply Pro Stocks. Taking the wins were Erick Rudolph (21st Century Energy Group 358 Modifieds), Jeremy Weaver scoring his first career 410 win (Krill Recycling 410 Sprint Cars), John Mollick (4 Your Car Connection RUSH Sprint Cars, and Bob Conner and Bobby Whitling (Hovis Auto & Truck Supply Pro Stocks).
358 Modifieds
In the 21st Century Energy Group 358 Modifeds, points leader Chad Reitz led the first five laps from the outside front row starting spot. Eric Gabany, subbing again for car owner Steve Slater, ran second, followed by Rudolph Hayden Holden, and Kyle Fink.
Rudolph moved into second on lap five, and he drew a bead on the leader. Coming down the long back stretch on lap six, he made an inside move to grab the first position.
Rudolph did not wither to the pressure applied by Reitz following the pair of restarts that punctuated the remainder of the race. Reitz gave up second to Gabany in the second half of the contest. Fink also picked up a position as the laps were winding down.
At the checkers, it was Rudolph for the second week in a row. He was followed by Gabany, Fink, Reitz, and Holden. Makayla Shannon was sixth, followed by her father, Frank Guidace. Lenny Liebold, III, was eighth.
Gabany was the heat race winner. There was no B Main.
410 Sprints
In the Krill Recycling 410 Sprint Car feature, visitor Dylan Norris sat on the pole, with Matt Farnham to his right. Carl Bowser and Jeremy Weaver had row two covered, followed by Bob Felmlee and Brandon Spithaler. Jack Sodeman, Jr. and A.J. Flick were paired up in row four. The fifth row had Gale Ruth, Jr. and Chase Metheny. Andy Cavanaugh and Bodey McClintock were in row six. Bringing up the tail were Cameron Nastasi, Shane Shook, and Jazlyn Boyles
Norris jumped out to the early lead, followed by Farnham, Weaver, Spithaler, Flick, and Felmlee. He built up a commanding advantage over the first half of the twenty-five lapper.
A caution wiped out his substantial advantage. Brandon Spithaler tried an outside move on Norris in turns one and two. Spithaler lost traction coming off turn two, and Weaver snuck past him going down the backstretch.
Weaver began to close in on Norris, but another caution made his task a bit easier. On the restart, Weaver went hard into turn one. He nosed ahead of Norris coming off turn two, and Norris launched a counter attack down the back chute. Weaver had momentum on his side entering turn three and he became the leader of record.
With just two laps remaining, Norris spun in turn one. Cars began to scatter. Spithaler got by, but Farnham clobbered Norris.
Weaver maintained his composure and completed the final laps without incident. Spithaler was second, followed by Sodeman, Flick, and Bowser. Felmlee, Metheny, Norris, Farnham, and Boyles complete dthe top ten.
Weaver was ecstatic over his first 410 win ever. The win also ended a long dry spell for his car owner, Bob McMillen. His last 410 win came about a decade ago at another area speedway with Mike Lutz at the controls. McMillen also had a 305 Sprint win in the interim, courtesy of Adam Kekich.
The heat winners were Spithaler and Norris. There was no B Main.
RUSH Sprints
John Mollick used his prime starting position to take the early lead over Brent Rhebergen in the 4 Your Car Connection RUSH Sprint Cars. They ran out front for the entire fifteen laps.
There was an intense struggle for the third position, with Arnie Kent eventually prevailing over Trent Marshall, and Joe Buccola. Luke Mulichak, Zach Wilson, Charles McClintock, Ricky Tucker, and Blaze Myers were the next five finishers.
The heat winners were Buccola and Mollick. There was no B Main. A special dash was held to commemorate the birthday of legendary Cal Hull. He was a racer and a car owner for decades in the region. The Dash winner was Devon Deeter.
Pro Stock Make-up Feature
Bob Conner captured his first career Hovis Auto & Truck Supply Pro Stock feature in the race held over from a previous rain-out. Conner was engaged in a fierce battle with Doug Iorio, II for the first dozen laps. However, when Iorio limped into the pits under caution, Conner was put on the pole for the restart.
Jackson Humanic made a bold bid for the lead in turn one when the race resumed. However, he could not hold the line and Conner scooted away. Bobby Whitling took advantage and moved into second, but he could not mount a challenge to Conner the rest of the way.
At the finish, it was Conner, Bobby Whitling, Humanic, Tommy Dembowski, and Rod Laskey. Tim Bish was scored in sixth based upon laps completed. The remaining finishers were Charlie McMillen and Aaron Smith. Iorio and Tyler Wyant were also credited with top ten finishes based upon laps completed.
Pro Stock Regular Feature
Bobby Whitling raced from fourth to the front in the early going in the regularly scheduled feature for the Hovis Auto & Truck Supply Pro Stocks. For much of the race, Whitling and Jackson Humanic waged a heavyweight title bout for the lead. Tyler Wyant tried to join in the action, butthere was contact between Humaic and Wyant. Wyant broke his front suspension, and Humanic pitted for a fresh tire, giving Whitling undisputed control of the race.
Matt Bernard drove a consistent race to finish second, ahead of Jake Whitling, Josh Seippel, and Humanic. The next five across the line were Pat Fielding, Tommy Dembowski, Charlie McMillen, Jason Kimmy, and Wyant.
The heat winners were Seippel and Humanic. There was no B Main.
Heat Race Challenge
Still leading the Marsh Heating & Cooling Heat Race Challenge is Tim Bish with four victories to his credit. Steve Slater and his sub, Eric Gabany, have combined for three wins. Four drivers have a pair of heat wins.

Flick wins 1st of year at Mercer in 410s; Lane takes 1st career in crate modifieds; Jones and Ealy repeat in 305s and mini stocks.
By Jim Balentine (Mercer,Pa)
On a warm sunny evening Michaels Mercer raceway completed its 2nd event of the season along with autograph night.
AJ Flick scored his 1st Mercer 410 sprint feature of 2024, Pat Lane collected his 1st career feature win in the 602 crate modifieds; Vivian Jones won her 1st Racesaver 305 sprint feature of the season and Carl Ealy is 2 for 2 in the mini stocks.
26 410 sprint cars graced the pit area for $3000 to win including a few outsiders from various tracks to take on the Mercer regulars. Previous night’s winner Brandon Spithaler and long time Mercer runner Bob Felmee would lead the field to green with Spithaler instantly taking charge taking a 2.5 seconds gap on the field by lap 4. Several cautions would bunch up the field negating Spithaler’s lead. An incident with a lapped car on the 21st lap would put Spithaler on the tail and give the lead to Bob Felmlee. Felmlee looking for his 25th career Mercer win was on his way to do that until lap 23 when AJ Flick came into the picture. Flick who was running fourth during the latter part of the race and with 2 to go made a daring move around 2 cars in one lap to move into 2nd and then passed Felmlee on lap 24. Adam Kekich would then get around Felmlee on the last lap to finish 2nd. Carl Bowser finished 4th and Logan McCandless was 5th.
AJ would say “sometimes you win races with your mind… every lap you’re scared you may run out of fuel and you want to keep your tire pressure up… to come from 7th to win is above our expectations with a small crew but to win puts a cherry on top. Bob (Felmlee) was running up top until Adam (Kekich) showed him a lane and I figured I could use my clean lane in the middle and I felt I had a shot even if the race stayed green but with the yellow it did help.”
After a winless 2023 4th generation racer Vivian Jones rebounded to win her 1st Racesaver 305 sprint feature of the year and 3rd overall in the 20 lap event. Nolan Groves would lead the first lap until Jones would take the position on lap 2.
Longtime veteran Andy Priest would come from his 4th starting spot to take 2nd on lap 7. A spirited battle between division champions Jake Gomola and Jeremy Kornbau would take place with both drivers swapping 3rd and 4th throughout the event but could get no closer to Priest then 1.06 seconds behind. A late race caution would give Priest one last chance for the win but Jones was too strong capturing the feature by .923 over Priest on a night where her grandparents Wibb and Darlene Juillerat would celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary with her.
A happy Vivian would say, “we complete revamped our program with a brand new car and set up and a whole different way to race .. I have a lot of respect for Andy (Priest) his daughter is a good friend of mine and I love to beat him because he and Jeremy (Kornbau) are 2 of the best!! I want to congratulate my grandparents on their 50th wedding anniversary today and dedicate this race to my uncle Bruce who passed away.” Gomola would finish 3rd, Kornbau 4th and Shane Heath 5th.
Anytime you can hold of a veteran driver who has competed at Mercer since the 1970s you have to be great and Pat Lane did just that in holding off multi time feature winner and track champion Jeff Schaffer Sr. by a scant .234 to win his first career 602 crate modified feature after finishing a career best of 2nd on June 11 2022.
Lane would take the lead at the start and hold off numerous attempts by Schaffer lap after lap while working methodically through lapped traffic. 16 time winner Eric Gabany took over 3rd on lap 8 and fought with 6 time winner Bill Adams all over the speedway for the position. Meanwhile up front Lane would try to open the gap on Schaffer and had a 1.4 second lead but on the last lap Schaffer would make a veteran move and run side by side but Lane with his fist pumping won by just .234 over Schaffer Sr. Gabany would hold off Adams for 3rd and Ryan Gutherie would have a Mercer career best finishing 5th. Pat would say “ it feels pretty good I knew the Schaffer’s were there so I didn’t want to mess up!!! I got a little swirly and I was like just get to the line. It was a bar car before and we made it a coil car and it made all the difference!”
Carl Ealy worked his way from 5th to take the lead on lap 9 and went on to win his milestone 15th career mini stock win. It wouldn’t be easy however as he would have to contend with other drivers. Andrew Thompson would lead the field to green and would lead the first 3 laps until Corey Bice would take over.
Just as Bice was looking to pick up his first career checkered he dropped out on lap 7 with mechanical failure. Ealy took the lead on lap 9 and withstood a challenge by Chaz Smith to pick up the win. Dillon Thorne was 3rd, Braden Bice 4th and Andrew Thompson 5th.

Timms, Barger and Dann Net First Huset's Speedway Victories of Season During Goodin Company Night
Inside Line Promotions - BRANDON, S.D. (June 16, 2024) - Ryan Timms, Nate Barger and Tim Dann each earned their first feature win of the season at Huset's Speedway on Sunday during Goodin Company Night.
Kerry Madsen paced the field for the opening 20 laps of the 25-lap Cressman Sanitation 410 Outlaw Sprint Cars main event. Seventh-starting Timms found something in the middle of the track midway through the race and rocketed forward, advancing from sixth to third on Lap 16 and sliding Tim Kaeding for second place on Lap 17. Timms closed to within a couple of car lengths of Madsen in traffic before something happened to Madsen's car as he got over the cushion and into the wall in turn one on Lap 21.
Timms inherited the lead after the accident, which he also caught a little bit of contact in with his right rear as Madsen's car flipped. That didn't slow Timms as he led the remainder of the race, which included a green-white-checkered finish, to become the sixth different winner in six division races this season.
"It was so awesome," he said. "I love coming here. I'm super happy to be back. Once I pulled the seven in the redraw I knew I had a chance at winning, but it was a lot more slim. I caught up to Kerry there and the curb was real solid and ledgy and it got him. I have no idea how I didn't get caught up in that. I thought he landed on my car. I'm super fortunate there."
Kaeding advanced from sixth to a runner-up result for his second podium of the season at the track.
"We had a good race track," he said. "You get up on the top and let 'er eat. Ryan got ahead of us when I got into the fence a couple of times."
Scott Bogucki charged from 10 th to a Huset's Speedway season-best outing of third place.
"The guys gave me a great race car," he said. "For the first five or six laps I was a little worried. I found the bottom and started getting some momentum and found third."
Chase Randall finished fourth and Justin Henderson was fifth after a last-lap pass.
Madsen set quick time during qualifying before the heat races were won by Tim Estenson, Timms, Brian Brown and Scott Winters. Brendan Mullen was the B Main winner.
Barger led the final 17 laps of the 20-lap Wyffels Hybrids RaceSaver Sprint Car Series feature to garner his first career sprint car win at the track. He is now the sixth different winner in as many races at Huset's Speedway this season.
"You kinda had to lay it all out there," he said. "We had some good track conditions and I looked like I knew what I was doing for a change. It's been a long time trying. We're going to drink a beer and have a good time."
The race got off to a slow start with two red flags and two additional cautions within the first three laps. However, it went non-stop for the remainder of the race as Jacob Peterson rallied from 11 th to second. Tyler Rabenberg hustled from 10 th to third with Dominic Dobesh, who led the first three laps, placing fourth. Casey Abbas scored a fifth-place result.
Corbin Erickson, Matt Johnson, Dobesh, Barger and Ramsie Shoenrock each posted a heat race triumph. The B Mains were won by Koby Werkmeister and Nick Barger.
Dann was out front for all 18 laps to capture his first Nordstrom's Automotive Late Model Street Stocks triumph of the season.
Matt Steuerwald ran a close second throughout much of the race before points leader J.J. Zebell, who started 11th, powered into the runner-up position on Lap 17. Zebell drove to the rear of Dann's car entering turn one on the last lap, but he came up a couple of car lengths shy of the victory as the checkered flag was waved.
"That was fun," Dann said. "I was just trying to hit the bottom and not mess up. I knew Matt was probably going to be right there and I was just trying to hit my marks. This is fun. We've been really good here this year."

MCPHERSON, WESTBROOK, BEGOLO, LOGGIE, AND THORNE TAKE OHSWEKEN WINS
Article Credit: Brent Otchere
OHSWEKEN, Ont. (June 14, 2024) – Renway Energy and McKeough Supply presented the Race Of Champions Sportsman Shootout at Ohsweken Speedway on Friday; Cody McPherson, Dylan Westbrook, Brent Begolo, Ron Loggie, Wayde Thorne took A-Main wins.
RoC Sportsman Modifieds
The 25 lap Sportsman Modified A-Main began with Kraig Handly on pole and Noah
Mamo starting alongside. Cody McPherson made quick work, leading the first lap
after starting fourth on the grid. McPherson was on rails, leading the race with
a healthy cushion to the rest of the pack. The race ran caution-free despite the
hard battling in the mid-field. McPherson had to deal with traffic near the end
of the race however he navigated through it, losing little time and winning the
race by a fair margin. Next to cross the finish line were James Friesen in
second, Mamo third, Chad Chevalier fourth, and Adam Leslie fifth.
Kool Kidz-Corr/Pak 360 Sprint Cars
The front row of the grid featured Darren Dryden and Dylan Westbrook to begin
the 25 lap 360 Sprint Car A-Main. Westbook led the first lap, overtaking Dryden.
Cory Turner turned up the wick on the opening laps, threatening Westbrook’s
lead. Westbrook responded by putting a large gap between himself and Cory Turner
as they both had to steer through heavy traffic. With five laps to go Westbrook
was checked out with a four second lead over Cory Turner. Westbrook secured the
victory, his fourth in a row to remain undefeated at Ohsweken in 2024. Cory
Turner finished in second with his brother Ryan Turner again sharing the podium
with him. Rounding out the top five were Mike Bowman in fourth and Nick Sheridan
in fifth.
Strickland’s Crate Sprint Cars
Jonah Mutton started on pole alongside Steve Murdock to take the green flag for
the 20 lap Crate Sprint A-Main. Murdock led the opening laps until a caution
flag fell due to A.J. Lewis spinning to a stop in turn three. Murdock led a
smooth restart to green while Brent Begolo got around Mutton for second place.
Begolo used traffic to his benefit, quickly catching the leader Murdock by lap
twelve. Begolo went on to win his first career Crate Sprint feature. Rounding
out the top five were Murdock in second, Mutton third, Al Sleight fourth, and
Ashton VanEvery fifth.
Middleport Mechanical Thunder Stocks
Kyle Andress started on pole with Blake Jr Bomberry next to him for the 20 lap
Thunder Stock A-Main. Bomberry led the first lap and quickly putting a gap over
the field. Ron Loggie was on a furious charge through the field after starting
16th on the grid. On lap six, Loggie could be found in second place after
overtaking the previous week’s winner, Kyle Wert. Lap nine saw a caution flag
fall due to Remington Price coming to a stop on the backstretch. Loggie had a
great launch off the restart, overtaking Bomberry for the lead. This proved to
be the key to win the race, as no one could catch Loggie when he was in clean
air. Loggie picked up his first Ohsweken Speedway win by more than two seconds.
Rounding out the top five were Ryan Beagle in second, Kyle Wert third, Rodney
Rutherford fourth, and Jim Lampman fifth.
HRW Automotive Mini Stocks
Aiden Maynard and Christopher French brought the 28 car field to the green flag
for the Mini Stock A-Main. Fabio Olivieri rocketed ahead and assumed the lead on
the first lap after starting third on the grid. The race quickly became an
endurance test though, as nine caution flags fell during the event. Points
leader Alex Riley had the roughest day, bringing out the first caution after
spinning to a stop on lap two. Riley then lost a rear bumper, bringing out a
caution for debris on the track on lap five. Riley looked good and tried to
salvage a finish until more calamity struck on lap eight, when a chain reaction
resulted in Maynard clipping Riley, sending Riley straight into the wall and
ending his race. The final caution of the race brought a green-white-checkered
finish. Wayde Thorne prevailed in a three-wide finish to take the win, with Jeff
Elsliger taking second and Tristan DaSilva third. Gillian Hils and Nick Erskine
finished in fourth and fifth respectively.

Braden Chiaramonte puts on charge at Antioch Speedway for initial SCCT victory
By Gary Thomas
Antioch, CA…Rebounding from engine issues in his heat race, 17-year-old Braden Chiaramonte marched through the field in the feature, netting his first career Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour victory on Saturday at Antioch Speedway.
After losing an engine while running second in his heat, it forced the El Cajon driver to start from the final row in the 35-lap contest. The driver of the Tiner-Hirst Ent. / Larry Davis Farms No. 94TH then proceeded to put together a memorable performance for the fans on hand.
By way of being a full-time SCCT team the youngster went home with $3,000 thanks to the Shop Kyle Larson Bonus. Chiaramonte also took over the Sprint Car Challenge Tour point lead in the process.
“I knew we had a fast car all night and just had that engine issue in the heat race that put us at the rear for the main event,” Chiaramonte said in victory lane.” Starting from 17th I knew it would be tough, but I just drove this thing as hard as I could. Following people wouldn’t have got the job done so I just searched around for different lines. I want to thank this entire Tiner-Hirst team for working so hard and giving me great cars every race.”
The main event began with Sacramento’s Austin Wood jumping into the lead after winning the High Sierra Industries Dash. The Winged Sprint Car Rookie put together solid laps up front early on. Track conditions created some of the best racing seen all season with the Sprint Car Challenge Tour, as drivers utilized every inch of the Antioch bullring.
Roseville veteran Sean Becker then pounced to take over the top-spot on lap nine and held the point for several circuits. With multiple competitors battling it out Chiaramonte was on the move from his 17th starting spot and blasted into second with 16 circuits complete.
He then went to work on Becker and officially took command on lap 23. He would lead the remaining distance to cross under the Ron Stahl checkered flag. Becker brought the Dan Monhoff owned No. 35 home in second to record his best result of the SCCT season. The 43-year-old has been ultra consistent, with a trio of top-five finishes in the six events held.
Cotati’s Jake Haulot made a late move to earn his first career podium finish in Sprint Car Challenge Tour action. He also started the evening by setting the Sierra Foothills Wine Services Fast Time with a lap of 12.733 around the one-third mile oval. It was great to see the former Petaluma champion have a strong outing.
Dunnigan’s Luke Hayes also scored a career best SCCT finish with a solid fourth place run, while Austin Wood completed the top-five, also securing his career best tour result.
Rounding out the top-10 in the feature were Colby Johnson, Michael Faccinto, Brad Bumgarner, Chance Grasty and Travis Labat. With his drive from 17th to 1st Chiaramonte took home the Pit Stop USA Hard Charger Award.
The Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour will now get set for Western Speedweek, which encompasses six straight nights of racing at six different tracks. It all begins on Monday July 15 at Cottage Grove Speedway and wraps up on Saturday July 20th at Placerville Speedway.

Sams puts exclamation point on Ohio Sprint Speedweek with $10k Atomic win
Sunday, June 16, 2024
By Brian Liskai
CHILLICOTHE, Oh. – Danny Sams III put a huge exclamation point on his 42nd Annual Ohio Sprint Speedweek ending, leading all 35 laps for a $10,000 pay day at Atomic Speedway Saturday, the biggest win of his young racing career. It was Sam’s third win during the nine straight nights of racing across the Buckeye State under the Ti-22 Performance FAST On Dirt banner, having also posted wins at Hilltop Speedway and Muskingum County Speedway earlier.
“WOW to say the least. We came into this week just hoping we would make it to every night. My parents and I worked so hard this week and…wow, what a reward. I’m not sure what I think but WOW! This is everything and more we could ask for. This car has ran so good all week. I’m so blessed to be in this position and have an amazing car owner like Rocky. Thank you to everyone that makes this possible and all glory to God,” said Sams beside his RV Locks & More. Dirt Crowd.com, Schaeffer’s Oil, Shop D3.com #24D.
While Sams, from North Port, Fla., celebrated the victory, Republic, Ohio’s Cap Henry scored another podium finish, right behind Sams, “to lock up the 2024 Ohio Sprint Speedweek championship. Henry only finished out of the top five once in the eight contested A-mains during speedweek, a 17th place run Monday at Wayne County Speedway after being involved in an incident during his heat race. He scored wins at Attica Raceway Park to open speedweek, and another to re-open Millstream Speedway Friday.
“Our nose wing fell down there so we had nothing for Danny. He’s been fast all week. I’m happy with what we accomplished to pull off the Ohio Speedweek championship…it’s something I always wanted to do. I’m just super happy for Zack and Jeff and Gary and Chris and Chad…everyone involved in this deal…Erin and Dana. It means a lot to do this. I know it’s not the All Star deal any more but it’s still means something to win an Ohio Speedweek championship,” said Henry of his Premier Planning Service, Jeff Ward Demolition, Ohio Logistics, Primal Tee Shop, Elliott’s Custom Trailers and Carts, FK Rod Ends, Griff’s Engines;
At the drop of the green Sams, who set fast time during qualifications – the fourth time he accomplished that during the week – bolted into the lead with Henry, Cole Duncan and Skylar Gee in tow. Two quick cautions on laps three and four kept the field close, but once the green flew the race settled into a long green flag run.
Sams built up a huge lead before hitting lapped traffic on lap 12 of the 35-lap affair. Henry closed slightly while a tremendous battle ensued for third involving Duncan, Gee and a charging Greg Wilson. At the half-way point Henry was right on the rear bumper of Sams who was having issues with a pair of lapped cars racing side by side right in front of him.
Sams executed a great move on lap 29 to finally get by the two lapped cars and pulled away until the final caution flew on lap 31. Sams blasted the top side of Atomic on the restart and pulled away for the win over Henry, Gee, Wilson (from 11th) and Duncan.
The Ti-22 Performance FAST On Dirt Series thanks all the tracks and their staff, the race teams and fans for their tremendous support for a very successful 42nd Annual Ohio Sprint Speedweek.

Racing onto the quick surface of Crawford County Speedway, POWRi WAR/WINS would find seventeen traditional sprinters witnessing Cam Shafer set the quickest hot-lap time of 16.825-second lap as Wyatt Burks and Xavier Doney would each earn heat racing victories.
Kick-starting the initial green flag start with high-point qualifier Justin Johnson and Glen Saville lined up in the front row, Glen Saville would gain the lead on the opening lap with Xavier Doney blasting into the runner-up spot.
Wasting hardly any time to overtake for the top spot, Xavier Doney would not be denied the feature victory by shooting to the lead on the second lap to never relinquish the lead. Battling all through the field behind the leading Doney would find Wyatt Burks and Wesley Smith putting on a great display of action with Saville sticking close to the front pack.
Holding steady through a late race restart would find Xavier Doney emerge victorious with the POWRi WAR Sprint League, running in conjunction with the Western Iowa Non-Wing Sprints, at Crawford County Speedway to notch his first yearly league victory. Staying in the hunt Wyatt Burks would finish runner-up by a mere three-tenths of a second as a hard-charging Cam Shafer completed the final podium placements less than a second off the leader after starting seventeenth initially.
Challenging closely behind after flying through the field and thrilling the crowd would find sixteenth-starting Josh Most finished fourth as continual front-runner Wesley Smith rounded out the top-five finishers for the POWRi WAR/WINS at Crawford County Speedway.

Henry scores 2nd Ohio Speedweek win at grand reopening of Millstream
Saturday, June 15, 2024
By Brian Liskai
FINDLAY, Ohio – Consistency wins championships and Cap Henry is demonstrating that adage perfectly during the 42nd Annual Ohio Sprint Speedweek with the Ti-22 Performance FAST On Dirt Series. The Bellevue, Ohio driver scored his second win of speedweek Friday at the grand re-opening of Millstream Speedway in Findlay, Ohio in front of a huge crowd there to celebrate the return of racing after sitting idle for eight years.
Going into the ninth and final night of Ohio Sprint Speedweek, Henry, who is only one of two drivers – the other being Greg Wilson – to have made all seven contested speedweek A-mains during, has a commanding lead in his bid to become the speedweek champion. Henry opened speedweek with a win at Attica Raceway Park where he is the defending track champion. He followed with a third place finish at Waynesfield Motorsports Park on Sunday before a heat race incident which placed him at the rear of the field for the feature Monday at Wayne County Speedway where he finished 17th. Henry roared back Tuesday with a third place run at Hilltop Speedway followed by a fifth place finish at Sharon Speedway Wednesday and a second place showing Thursday at Muskingum County Speedway Thursday.
Friday at Millstream, Scotty Thiel grabbed the early lead in the 30-lap feature with Henry driving from fourth to second on the opening lap. Henry drove under Thiel for the lead on lap nine just as a caution flew for debris. Henry built up a substantial lead while the battle for second saw Zane DeVault get around Thiel on lap 12. A debris caution on lap 20 wiped out Henry’s lead, but he executed a perfect restart to once again drive away. With five laps to go Henry held a 2.1 second lead over DeVault with ninth starter Skylar Gee moving into third after a spirited battle with Thiel and Cale Thomas. A yellow flag on the final lap set up a shootout but Henry once again nailed his restart and drove to the victory, his fourth overall win of 2024. DeVault, Gee, Thiel and 12th starter Joel Myers Jr. rounded out the top five.
“I’m just so proud of my guys, Zack, Jeff, Gary, Chris and Chad, the way they’ve turned this season around means a lot. It truly is a team effort. To win in front of that big of a crowd is so cool. I wanted to just be patient and make sure we got good points, but I always want to win too. Years ago when the All Stars came here I was leading one and got taken out by another guy and lost it. This is the type of race track we kind of struggled at this week. I knew it was important to get out front and every one of those cautions was a big deal to keep us in clean air. It was really hard to see in traffic,” said Henry beside his Premier Planning Service, Jeff Ward Demolition, Ohio Logistics, Primal Tee Shop, Elliott’s Custom Trailers and Carts, FK Rod Ends, Griff’s Engines backed #33W.
The 42nd Annual Ohio Sprint Speedway concludes Saturday, June 15 at Atomic Speedway near Chillicothe, Ohio with a $10,000 to win feature event!

Sams becomes first repeat winner during Ohio Sprint Speedweek
Friday, June 14, 2024
By Brian Liskai
DRESDEN, Oh. – Danny Sams III became the first repeat winner during the Ti-22 Performance FAST On Dirt 42nd Annual Ohio Sprint Speedweek Thursday, June 13, in a very thrilling 30-lap feature. Just like two days prior at Hilltop Speedway where he scored the win, Sams utilized the high line to retake the lead with just two laps to go to score the $5,000 pay day at Muskingum County Speedway.
Sams, from North Port, Florida, bolted out to the lead at the drop of the green with Connor Morrell, Cale Thomas, Travis Philo and Cap Henry in tow. Thomas slid into second on lap four and started to narrow the gap to Sams before a caution flew on lap nine. With clean air Sams pulled away from Thomas as Henry began to close on the lead duo.
At the half-way point Sams’ lead was nearly two seconds as he prepared to enter heavy lapped traffic. Thomas and sixth starter Henry closed quickly and Thomas slid into the lead on lap 19 but Sams fought back to regain the top spot two laps later with six laps to go the crowd were on their feet for a tremendous three car battle for the lead with Henry getting a two for one move to take the top spot on lap 25 just before the caution flew.
On the restart Sams immediately jumped to Henry’s outside and applied pressure edging in front once again on lap 28. Sams blasted the cushion the final two laps to score the win over Henry, Thomas, Philo and Zane DeVault.
“I was doing my best Haudenschild impression out there. That caution came out….lapped cars are just so tough tonight…I was like I’m not giving up yet. I waited all the way down the back stretch to go to the high side….made the right move when it counted. I can’t thank my mom and dad enough, Rocky…we’ve been up all day chancing engines…we’re wore out. This will give us a good boost. This win is even bigger than Tuesday because I had to race for this one. I can’t believe we’re even here right now. We didn’t even make the show last night…didn’t even get close. Just the rebound these guys have is just absolutely incredible. All glory to God,” said Sams beside his RV Locks & More, Dirt Crowd.com, Schaeffer’s Oil, Shop D3.com backed #24D.
A second place run pads Henry’s lead for the coveted Ohio Sprint Speedweek championship.
“I knew where he (Sams) was going on that restart. He’s been killing the top all week. I hadn’t run up there all day. I knew I had to go up there but the bottom was working. I’ll take this and have a good point night,” said Henry of his Jeff Ward Motorsports backed sprint car.
The 42nd Ohio Sprint Speedweek resumes Friday, June 14 at the recently re-opened Millstream Speedway near Findlay, Ohio before wrapping up at Atomic Speedway near Chillicothe, Ohio Saturday for a big $10,000 to win finale.

Melair takes Selinsgrove; Hagerstown next
06-14-2024
Starting on the pole certainly has its advantages, but when your competitors are bearing down on you and you catch up with the back of the field and need to lap cars while holding your lead, there are no guarantees.
On Thursday night at Selinsgrove Speedway, Mike Melair had the starting position advantage to take the initial lead, but keeping it in heavy traffic was the key to the Warrington racer’s third career victory in the River Valley Builders PA Sprint Series 20-lapper. It was his first win since last August, when he also tamed the sweeping Selinsgrove half mile.
Melair and a large number of other teams will move quickly to Hagerstown Speedway for Saturday’s Father’s Day Weekend program there, co-sanctioned by the Virginia Sprint Series and Laurel Highlands Sprint Series, ensuring a large turnout of cars.
Driving the College Hunks Moving & Hauling #36, Melair drew the pole starting position but still had to hold off fellow front-row starter Kruz Kepner of nearby Kreamer for the early lead. The early charge to the front came from Austin Reed of Etters, who went from seventh starting position into third in five laps. Four laps later, the front-runners entered traffic, and Melair began losing the nice lead he had built.
Kepner sought to be the opportunist, but Melair handled the traffic skillfully and denied his challenger any passing opportunities.
In the meantime, fourth-starting Timmy Bittner of Brush Creek had re-taken third place from Reed, and in the final laps he showed signs of possibly being able to take second and go for the top spot. Kepner was able to hold Bittner off, though, but their battle allowed Melair to complete the race without a last-lap challenge, and he posted a 0.672-second over Kepner, with Bittner taking third.
Ken Duke Jr. of Selinsgrove, who was in the top-five mix throughout, came home fourth, with Reed taking fifth.
Completing the top ten were “Nitro” Nick Sweigart of Myerstown, Owen Dimm of Mifflintown (who moved up six positions), Kenny Heffner of Watsontown, last Saturday’s Selinsgrove winner Dustin Young of Danville, and Josh Spicer of Julian.
The race went nonstop, finishing less than a second shy of exactly seven minutes.
The W.C. Eshenaur & Son Hard Charger Award went to Zach Rhodes of McVeytown, who almost earned the Hard-Luck Award instead. Rhodes’ #31Z experienced mechanical problems that largely kept him out of both hot laps and his heat race and relegated him to 26th starting position, but the Cale Reigle-led crew fixed the problem before the feature, and Rhodes moved forward smartly to a 14th-place finish, a charge of a dozen positions.
Heat races for the 26-car field went to Dustin Young, Sweigart, and Duke. The night’s only caution flag flew at the beginning of the third heat when Colton Hoover went around in the first turn, but he was able to restart and recover for a nice fifth-place finish.
Duke’s fourth-place finish broke his tie with Sweigart for the early points lead and gave him a two-point margin at the top. Early points are less important in the IMCA/RaceSaver/PASS system, though, because final standings count only a driver’s 20 best finishes, and the numbers begin to mean more after that 20th race.
Pit gates for Hagerstown on Saturday will open at 4:30 p.m. and grandstands at 5:00, with hot laps scheduled to get underway at 7:00. Adult general admission is $20 and pit admission is $35.
PASS is dedicated to the heritage of RaceSaver with stable and enforceable rules, consistent rules application and fair purse distribution paying 24th place one half of first place.

DANNY DIETRICH WINS OHIO SPEEDWEEK AT SHARON FOR THE 2ND TIME IN 3 TRIES WORTH $5000 WITH FAST "410" SPRINTS; RUSH SPRINTS TO ARNIE KENT FOR THE 1ST TIME
June 12, 2024
By Mike Leone
(Hartford, OH)…Sharon Speedway returned to action on Wednesday night hosting round six of the 42nd annual Ohio Speedweek for the Hovis Auto & Truck Supply "410" Sprint Cars presented by Bala Management in a FAST on Dirt Series-sanctioned event. Celebrating in the Hovis Auto & Truck Supply victory lane were Danny Dietrich (FAST "410" Sprint Cars) and Arnie Kent (Billy's Garage RUSH Sprint Cars. Seven-two cars filled the pit area for the two-division Sprint Car only program on Diehl Automotive Night.
In 2021, Danny Dietrich captured his first career Sharon Speedway victory part of Ohio Speedweek sanctioned by the All Star Circuit of Champions. On Wednesday night, Dietrich led all 30 caution-free laps of the feature to become the fifth different winner in as many Ohio Speedweek events (Fremont's feature was rained out) this year! Dietrich earned $5,000 for his fifth career Ohio Speedweek win overall in the first FAST-sanctioned event at Sharon since 2019.
"I didn't even feel good at the beginning," acknowledged the 36-year-old Gettysburg, Pa. standout. "The full load of fuel back there makes you feel kind of crappy. I felt slow and it just slows down so fast. I decided to move around a bit. I didn't feel like I had a big lead, but didn't hear anyone. Eventually I got to watching (Tim) Shaffer and he was walking away from me on the bottom and middle. A couple times I rolled the middle and the car felt pretty good. I finally moved down and felt like if anyone drove around me they would have to be pretty good. We love to coming to Sharon and love coming to Ohio Speedweek. This is a really feel good moment for the team. I want to thank you fans for coming out and my sponsors. We've had a long week and my guys have put in a lot of hours."
Dietrich drew the pole for the feature and raced into the lead over defending FAST Series Champion and local hot shoe, Brandon Spithaler, while Scotty Thiel went fifth to third. Australian Brock Hallett passed Thiel for third on lap two and by lap five the top three of Dietrich, Spithaler, and Hallett began to pull away. Hallett pressured Spithaler for the runner-up spot on laps 8-10, but was unable to make the pass.
Eyes began to shift to Zeth Sabo, who was riding the fence from his eighth starting spot. Sabo cracked the top five on lap 10 then drove around Dale Blaney for fourth on lap 11 before getting into the fence the following lap, which allowed Blaney to regain fourth. Dietrich caught lapped traffic on lap 13 before an incredible battle for third erupted just prior to the halfway point as Hallett was trying to hold off Dale Blaney, Sabo, and Dave Blaney. Dale Blaney and Sabo both raced past Hallett for third and fourth respectively on lap 15.
Back up front, Dietrich began to pull away from Spithaler and the battle for third just past the halfway point. Dave Blaney worked his way by Sabo for fourth on lap 23; meanwhile, Dave's younger brother, Dale, snuck under Spithaler for second on lap 24.
Sixth starting Dale Blaney cut into Dietrich's lead in the final laps, but the margin was too great as Dietrich's second career Sharon win came by 1.619 seconds in the Gary Kauffman-owned, Sandoe's Fruit Market/Derek Snyder's Self Made Racing/Weikert's Livestock/York Excavating/Drop of Ink Tattoo-sponsored #48.
Spithaler kept 10th starting Dave Blaney at bay for third. Cap Henry was 5th after starting 9th. Completing the top 10 were Sabo, Hallett, Cale Thomas, Thiel, and 17th starting Jordyn Charge. Henry set fast time overall against the 55-car field in qualifying with a lap of 15.479. Heat winners were Spithaler, Dietrich, Dave Blaney, Thomas, and Thiel, while the last chance B mains went to Craig Mintz and Tim Shaffer.
Veteran Sprint Car racer, Arnie Kent, finally captured his first career Sharon RUSH Sprint Car feature win and first victory at the track in nearly 22 years! Kent drove around fellow veteran John Mollick on lap five and pulled away for the $800 Billy's Garage feature victory in a race that was slowed just once for a caution. Kent, who had never finished better than third at Sharon in his 21 prior RUSH starts at the Hartford, Ohio oval, became the fourth different RUSH Sprint Car winner in four races on the 2024 Sunbelt Rentals Weekly Series circuit.
"I've been trying for several years to get one here," acknowledged the soon-to-be 60-year-old New Castle, Pa. driver. "We had a good car at the end of last year and it carried over to this year. The car was sticking really good and I could pretty much drive everywhere I wanted. Once I got in front, I got to the bottom and just stayed there. This means a lot for these guys; they work hard and it takes an army to run one of these things. We stayed up late last night and did some work to it and it all paid off."
Kent started fourth and drove by Charlie Utsinger and Gale Ruth, Jr. for second at the start of the 20-lap feature. Kent was all over Mollick on laps 2-5. Typically it's Mollick up top and Kent on the bottom, but the roles were reversed on this night as Kent made the outside work nipping Mollick at the start-finish line to lead lap five. Sixth starting Brandon Blackshear made it a three-car race for the lead on lap seven before Kent began to pull away on lap nine.
Kent caught lapped traffic on lap 15 before the event's only caution for a spin by rookie T.J. Rosario with 17 laps completed. Kent was able to keep Mollick at bay over the final laps as he took the checkered flag first by 0.831 seconds in the Jack Mahoney-owned, Burkhardt Sheet Metal/Bucket of Suds Car Wash/Brazen Contracting/Big G's Portable Toilets-sponsored #9.
Kent became the 13th different driver to win a RUSH Sprint Car race at Sharon as the victory was the second of his career overall at Sharon as he also owns one "410" Sprint Car victory back on August 3, 2022! It was also Kent's first RUSH Sprint Car win on the circuit since winning a pair of events during the inaugural 2018 season.
In fact, none of the top four finishers had ever won a RUSH Sprint Car event at Sharon including Mollick in second, sixth starting Brandon Blackshear in third, and Brent Rhebergen in fourth. Rhebergen came from the 10th starting spot in his first ever Sharon RUSH Sprint Car race and earned the $100 Summit Racing Equipment Hard Charger gift card. Rounding out the top 10 were Bill Cunningham, Utsinger, Amelia Clay, Joe Buccola, and Billy Myers. Mollick and Ruth won the heat races.
Coming up this Saturday night (June 15), the Hovis Auto & Truck Supply Big-Block Modifieds will make their second appearance of the season for $2,000 to-win and will be joined by the Billy's Garage RUSH Sprint Cars, Gibson Insurance Agency Pro Stocks, and the first appearance of the season by the Whelen Econo Mods.

Dietrich turns Ohio Sprint Speedweek around with Sharon victory
Thursday, June 13, 2024
By Brian Liskai
HARTFORD, Ohio – To say Danny Dietrich wasn’t enjoying the 42nd Annual Ohio Sprint Speedweek is a huge understatement. The Gettysburg, Pennsylvania resident missed the feature the first two nights, came a very close second the third, crashed the fourth night, took the fifth night to regroup, and came back strong Wednesday at Sharon Speedway, leading all 30 caution-free laps for the $5,000 victory.
Dietrich became the fifth different winner in five nights during the Ti-22 Performance FAST On Dirt Series sanctioned event. It was his second career victory at Sharon. Local favorite Dale Blaney charged from sixth to second with Brandon Spithaler, Dave Blaney (from 10th) and current speedweek point leader Cap Henry rounding out the top five.
“I just felt that consistent laps and no mistakes were the key to staying out front. I really didn’t feel that pounding the fence down was a smart way to try and race. Moving around and keeping an eye on racing grooves was very important. I love Sharon and I love coming to Ohio speedweek. This has been a tough so this is a really feel good moment for our race team. It’s tough with 50 cars every night,” said Dietrich beside his Weikert’s Livestock, Derek Snyder Self-made Racing, RV 4WD & Performance, York Excavating, Sandoes Fruit Market backed #48.
The 42nd Annual Ohio Sprint Speedweek will continue at Muskingum County Speedway for night #7 of the nine night event.

Pirtek Renegade Ogilvie MN, June 8th, 2024
Twenty-four Pirtek Renegade winged sprints filled the pits on Saturday to take part in the Big O Showdown World of Outlaws show at Ogilvie Raceway, with the Rapid Press Printing heat #1 going to Owen Carlson. Brett Peterson claimed the James Ackerley Construction/Kiki’s Salsa heat race #2, and Chase Viebrock took the Adams Estates heat #3. Viebrock earned 125 passing points for starting in sixth position and finishing in first position.
After the redraw, it was Tony Kaus and Peterson setting the pace for the 20-lap feature, with the track being freshly farmed, the drivers slice and diced their way around the track, with a power to the point racing down the straight aways. The slick track made for a fast high line, helping Carlson and Viebrock make their way to the front from sixth and seventh position, while Matthew Weber moved and grooved his way from twenty-second to thirteenth, and Casey Lang drove the 609 car to a hard charger of the night, passing twelve cars from twentieth position to eight position.
At the double checkers after all twenty laps were in the books it was Carlson collecting his fourth sticker of the season in front of Viebrock, Jamey Ogston, Peterson, and Patrick Heikkinen, as Carlson parked in Pirtek/Hoosier Tire North Victory Lane.
The Pirtek Renegades next events will be Friday and Saturday, June 14th and 15th, when the winged and traditionals travel to Princeton Speedway on Friday and back at Ogilvie Raceway on Saturday More information on upcoming events for the Pirtek Renegades, as well as links to other Renegades series, can be found at www.umsprints.com, or on facebook.

Jordan Ryan etches his name in Ohio Sprint Speedweek recordbook with Wayne County win
Tuesday, June 11, 2024
By Brian Liskai
ORRVILLE, Ohio – There’s little doubt Jordan Ryan grew up attending races during Ohio Sprint Speedweek and eventually got to participate in a few. Now the 27-year-old from Bellevue, Ohio can call himself an Ohio Sprint Speedweek winner.
Ryan led all 30 laps Monday, June 10 at Wayne County Speedway to win night #4 of the 42nd Annual Ohio Sprint Speedweek under the Ti22 Performance FAST On Dirt Series banner and claiming the $5,000 top prize.
“Unbelieveable. We had an awesome car all night. My dad, Matt and Bechtel had this thing on rails. We came into this one with it circled on our calendar and knew we had to perform at our home track. I love this team that I’m surrounded by and wouldn’t want it any other way. I also cannot thank all of our partners enough for allowing us to do this. I’m sure it will take awhile to sink in and still feels unreal to get a speedweek win. I’m excited to get back Friday at Millstream,” said Ryan beside his Meggitt’s Sandblasting & Painting, Eagle Excavating, Real Deel Lawncare, Rod Eddleblute’s Garage, Osgars Auto Body, Joyride Transportation, Cole’s Energy, Burns Electric, Renegade Race Fuels and Lubricants, Lakeview Roofing, Keizer Racing Wheels, Berryman Racing Shocks, Kistler Engines, Kistler Racing Products, Capitol Renegade, Glenn Styres Chassis, Ace Auto Performance backed #25R.
Ryan, the 2018 Wayne County Speedway champion, scored a win at the track in April, started along side of defending track champion Tyler Gunn for the 30-lap feature and quickly took command. Gunn challenged early but contact with the turn two wall ended his run on lap 6. Only a pair of cautions halted Ryan’s march to victory, but he executed perfect restarts to pull away from a tremendous battles for second.
Sunday’s speedweek winner Cale Thomas took over second when Gunn had his misfortunes but Travis Philo drove into the runner-up spot on a lap 17 restart. Zane DeVault came on strong in the closing laps, taking second on the white flag lap and closed on Ryan, falling just four-tenths of a second at the checkers.
Philo, Thomas, Darin Naida, Brandon Spithaler, Conner Morrell, Danny Sams, Sterling Cling and Devon Borden rounded out the top 10.
The Ti22 Performance FAST on Dirt Series moves to Hilltop Speedway Tuesday for night #5 of the 42nd Annual Ohio Sprint Speedweek with FloRacing carrying the streaming broadcast.

Paul Nienhiser Conquers Quincy for Fourth Sprint Invaders Win of 2024!
by Bill Wright
Quincy, IL, June 9, 2024 – For the second Mohrfeld Solar Sprint Invaders feature in a row, Paul Nienhiser was victorious. And for the second time in a row, he lost a lead and had to reclaim it in the late going. Sunday’s win came at the Adams County (Illinois) Speedway in Quincy. It was Paul’s second win in as many years on the 1/3-mile oval, the fourth of the season with the Sprint Invaders, and the sixteenth in his career with the series, which is third all-time.
Nienhiser shot out to the early lead in the 25-lap main event from outside row one. Terry McCarl and Cody Wehrle trailed early on the dry-slick surface, before McCain Richards slowed to bring the first caution one lap in. Wehrle worked on McCarl, using the low side to pass him for second on lap four. Tyler Lee followed him into third when McCarl got over the top of turn three a lap later.
Tasker Phillips, who returned to the feature after flipping in his heat, spun to bring another caution on lap six. Nienhiser led Wehrle, Lee, McCarl and Dugan Thye back to green. On lap nine, McCarl rode the cushion around Lee for third, and two laps later, Thye, utilizing a 305 motor, got by Lee for fourth.
A spin by Skyler Daly brought another caution on lap 13. Wehrle took off on the restart, and slid by Nienhiser to take the lead. He was cruising, until a bit of a slip-up high in turn two on lap 20. It was all Nienhiser needed to retake the lead.
One more caution for a slowing Chase Richards didn’t deter Nienhiser from his $2,000 win aboard Scott Bonar’s #50. McCarl gained second late, ahead of Wehrle, a late charging Bunton and Lee. Thye, Tanner Gebhardt, Joey Moughan, Colton Fisher and Jake Glasgow rounded out the top ten. Ryan Jamison, Nienhiser and Gebhardt won heats, and McCarl took the Dash. A scary incident marred the night. After Jamison’s heat win, he pulled over and exited the car with burns. He was transported to the hospital for further observation.
“These guys are really making me earn it these last couple nights,” said Nienhiser of his win. “Fortunately, we’ve come out on the better side of the stick. Cody ran a really good race there. I probably made a bad decision on where I restarted. He got under me, and honestly, if it wasn’t for him making a mistake, I felt like I lost the race. We were able to readjust and get close enough that if he was going to make a mistake, we’d be able to take advantage, and that’s just what happened. The 50 car was just as good as always. Scott and I have been together for several seasons and we’re working well together.”
“I was off at the beginning,” said McCarl of his second place finish in Jimmy Davies #99. “I don’t drive this car very often, and I haven’t in a few years. It takes me awhile to figure things out and get comfortable in the car. I think we dropped back as far as fifth, but I think I figured out where I was good and where I was bad. I think we had a shot to win it there when that last yellow came out, because I had taken second, but that’s not the way it worked out. We always want to win, but I feel good when I think we ‘mechanicked’ good and I did my best job of driving. As long as Jimmy’s happy, so am I. This is a fun track, and I’m glad we got to come down here.”
“I am disappointed, but I have to look at the big picture and who I’m racing with,” said Wehrle. “I think I’ll be proud of this tomorrow. Right now I’m a little dejected. It was a great track…much better than I thought after a 25-lap late model race. I hope it was fun to watch, because it was fun in the car. I had a great restart there. The bottom of four was working really well for me. I was able to stay down there a little bit better than everyone. The last restart killed me. We weren’t near as good in the latter half of that race.”
The Sprint Invaders have a three-race weekend ahead. On Friday, June 21, they
will compete at Jacksonville Speedway in Jacksonville, Illinois. On Saturday,
June 22, they will be at 34 Raceway in West Burlington, Iowa and on Sunday, June
23, they head for East Moline Speedway in East Moline, Illinois. For more

McCarl, Patterson and Olivier Make Late-Race Moves to Win During Frankman Motor Company Night at Huset's Speedway
Inside Line Promotions - BRANDON, S.D. (June 9, 2024) - Austin McCarl, Zach Patterson and Zach Olivier drove to victory on Sunday during Frankman Motor Company Night at Huset's Speedway.
All three drivers made the race-winning pass with five laps remaining.
Scott Bogucki paced the field for the opening 20 laps of the 25-lap Cressman Sanitation 410 Outlaw Sprint Cars main event before things got wild on a restart on Lap 21. McCarl executed a slide job in turns one and two to take the lead and Bogucki went to return the favor into turns three and four. However, he got sideways and nearly spun, stacking up the field and allowing McCarl to pull away for his 11 th career win at Huset's Speedway.
"Scott ran a great race," McCarl said before describing how tricky the track was as it changed during the race. "I smelled a little blood and I knew I had to take it (on the restart). I've been sick of running second, third and fourth. This feels really, really good. I feel like I've got my car back and can do things I need to do."
Justin Henderson capitalized on the late-race melee to advance into a second-place finish.
"I'm very proud of a podium finish," he said. "We tried some stuff to get it tighter and tighter. We've been learning a lot."
Kerry Madsen placed third for his third podium in the last four races at Huset's Speedway.
"I ran out of time," he said. "The first 10 laps it was kind of hard to pass. Everybody was quick and hard to pass. I got a good rhythm in (turns) three and four. I'm pleased to say we're disappointed in third, but it's still a good result."
Kyle Reinhardt was fourth and Bogucki recovered for fifth.
Jacob Allen and Mark Dobmeier each set quick time during their qualifying groups before Brendan Mullen, Skylar Prochaska, Bogucki and Tim Estenson picked up heat race wins. Tyler Drueke was the B Main winner.
Patterson charged from 11 th to capture the victory during the 20-lap Wyffels Hybrids RaceSaver Sprint Car Series A Main. It was his first career driving win at the track as he primarily works on the Big Game Motorsports team that competes on the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series. The triumphant performance also earned the Hard Charger Award for passing the most cars.
"Oh man, I'm a little worn out after that one," he said. "This is my first ever sprint car win. Jay Masur let me race last year. He's been super good to me. I couldn't be more grateful for him and Gracyn Masur. This is her car. I'm happy we could put it in Victory Lane for them."
Hunter Hanson was the early leader for the first three laps before John Lambertz took over the top spot on a restart on Lap 4. He held the lead until Patterson caught him in traffic on Lap 16.
Lambertz placed second with Nick Barger, Hanson and 12th-starting Brady Donnohue rounding out the top five, respectively.
The heat races were won by Bill Johnson, Corbin Erickson, Brandon Bosma, Koby Werkmeister and Hanson. Jacob Peterson and Michalob Voeltz posted B Main victories.
Ron Howe led the first 15 laps of the 20-lap Nordstrom's Automotive Late Model Street Stocks feature before seventh-starting Olivier drove around him in turn two. Olivier powered into the top spot down the backstretch and dove to the bottom entering turn three on Lap 16.
Meanwhile, Cory Yeigh hustled from 14 th into the runner-up position by Lap 17. He closed to Olivier's rear bumper before the third-and-final caution occurred on Lap 19 to set up a green-white-checkered finish. Olivier was strong on the restart as he powered to his 22 nd career triumph at the track.
"Man, that was awesome," he said. "Shout out to the track crew here. Awesome track.
"Cautions were well timed for sure. I noticed Cory was coming toward the end. I thought about going to the top the last lap or two. I pushed it a lot harder on the bottom the last couple of laps and it seemed to stick."
Yeigh finished second with Howe ending third. Dan Jensen was fourth and points leader J.J. Zebell advanced from 12 th to fifth.
Matt Steuerwald and Howe were the heat race winners.
Next Sunday is Goodin Company Night featuring the Cressman Sanitation 410 Outlaw Sprint Cars, Nordstrom's Automotive Late Model Street Stocks and the Wyffels Hybrids RaceSaver Sprint Car Series. It marks the final Huset's Speedway weekly event prior to the BillionAuto.com Huset's High Bank Nationals presented by MENARDS showcasing the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series June 19-22.

Cale Thomas wins thriller at Waynesfield on night 3 of Ohio Sprint Speedweek
Sunday, June 9, 2024
By Brian Liskai
WAYNESFIELD, Ohio – Cale Thomas held off a late race charge from Danny Dietrich to win the third night of the 42nd Annual Ohio Sprint Speedweek at Waynesfield Raceway Park by just .001 seconds. Thomas’ victory came despite a broken rear suspension piece after he collided with the front stretch wall midway through the 30-lap Ti 22 Performance FAST on Dirt Series A-main.
“I could get runs off of four and then pick off a car in one. I was able to get off the rubber when I had to manage the lapped cars. I’ve seen enough videos of leaders who force their way through lapped cars and it doesn’t always end well. Sometimes you just have to follow them and hope whoever is behind you isn’t faster,” said Thomas beside his Spanky’s Pizza, Shelluke’s Bar, Automatic Fire Protection; Ohio Refrigeration, Ohio Heating, Engler Machine, BH 41, TMH Holdings, Berryman Racing Shocks, Keizer Wheels backed machine.
The victory is the fourth of the year for Fairland, Indiana’s Thomas and his Jay Kiser Racing team.
Friday night’s Ohio Speedweek winner Cap Henry grabbed the lead at the drop of the green but it was seventh place starter Dietrich – who had set fast time in qualifying and won his heat from fourth – who shot from seventh to second in the opening lap, who got the huge crowd’s attention with Danny Sams and Thomas in tow. Thomas took third on lap two just before a race stoppage for a flipping Sterling Cling.
When the green flew again, Thomas began pressuring Dietrich for second and finally took the spot on lap nine. Four laps later Thomas executed a slider in turns one and two to steal the lead from Henry while Sams moved into third. With 10 laps to go Dietrich started to come alive, moving back into third and challenging Henry for second, finally taking the spot with just four laps to go.
Thomas was trapped behind lapped cars and Dietrich quickly closed. Coming to the white flag Dietrich was all over Thomas. On the final two sets of turns, Dietrich dove under Thomas and the drag race was on to the checkers.
The 42nd Annual Ohio Sprint Speedweek heads to Wayne County Speedway near Orrville, Ohio for night #4 of the nine race series on Monday, June 10.

Kornbau and Pattock pick up 1st wins in 410 and 305 sprints, Krummert wins in 602 crate mods, Ealy repeats in mini stocks.
By Jim Balentine (Mercer,Pa)
After five attempts, Michaels mercer raceway was able to open the 2024 season Saturday night in thrilling fashion with a beautiful night with a great crowd on hand and excellent racing in all four divisions.
Jeremy Kornbau would win his first career 410 sprint car feature , Jim Pattock would win his first career feature in the racesaver 305 sprints, Garrett Krummert would win his 11th 602 crate modified victory and Carl Ealy picked up his 14th career mini stock win.
In racing anytime a national star pays a visit to your home track drivers get excited to compete against them. USAC sprint star CJ Leary paid a visit to Mercer Sat night to battle, the Mercer regulars and it resulted in a thrilling battle between Leary and former 305 track champion Jeremy Kornbau. The race began with Leary and Kornbau on the front row along with 13 time winner, Adam Kekich starting third and the winnningest local sprint car driver the past couple years AJ flick starting in fifth. Kornbau would rocket into the lead from the start with Leary directly in tow. These two along with AJ Flick would put on a show running the high side for 24 laps of nonstop racing with a blistering pace, lapping up to position number five, which was held by Jimmy Morris. Leary in his first ever visit with a 410 winged sprint car would do a great job keeping Kornbau within his site getting within .5 of a second away from him but Kornbau knowing the track and knowing the lap cars he was going around was able to open up a 1.8 second lead until the caution came out with one lap to go setting up a one lap shoot out to the finish.
as the cars passed the starting line Leary would make a daring USAC style move, broadsliding into turn number one going as low as he could to try to get an advantage through the corner, but Kornbau riding the top side, had momentum and went on for a very popular first career 410 sprint car win by a mere .678 over Leary. Flick would finish 3rd, Kekich 4th and Morris 5th. “I was trying to be conservative and I knew the hole in turn 3 was there so I was trying to keep him behind me and I was watching the scoreboard and saw who was behind me and I tried to keep him from the bottom. “ Kornbau would say “This one is so special!! Greg McCandless gave me a motor to use tonight and I owe him and my family and crew for my 1st 410 win. Thank you all for coming tonight!”
In the 20 lap Racesaver 305 feature 2nd year driver Jim Pattock pulled the upset of the year as he led flag to flag holing off 2 time champ and 410 winner a half hour before in Jeremy Kornbau. Pattock led to lap 10 when newcomer Jay Fry hit the turn 4 wall hard bringing out the red. Jeremy Kornbau would then chase Paddock the entire last 10 laps but with Pattock running Kornbau’s regular line he held him at bay to win his 1st career feature by .864 over Kornbau. A fierce battle behind them between Jake Gomola, Vivian Jones, and Nolan Groves would go on the last few laps as they would slice and dice each other with Gomola taking 3rd over Jones and Groves. A jubilant Pattock would say “it feels great this is now my favorite track !! I saw his nose and I knew I had to keep him behind me… I had one and two figured out and I messed up in turns 3 and 4. I knew I had to run harder…I didn’t even tell my parents I bought a car until I brought the trailer home with one in it!!! I can’t thank Jake Gomola enough for helping me do this. Latrobe bit me last year and I said it would never happen again. This is a long time coming!!”
Garrett Krummert would pick up his 11th career limited modified feature over 3 time track champ Brian Schaffer. It wouldn’t be easy as Krummert had to start seventh in a 24 car field. Schaffer would lead the first 4 laps until Krummert would take over on lap 5. There was excitement through the field with many two and three wide racing throughout the pack. Veteran Eric Gabany who would start 19th would get up to 9th on lap 8 before losing the handle in turn 3 bringing out the yellow. On the restart Krummert would take off again and win by .573 over Brian Schaffer. 1995 modified champ Jeff Schaffer Sr. would return to racing and finish in 3rd. Gabany would rebound to finish 4th and Gage Priester 5th. Krummert said “It’s been a good year.. we were lucky tonight they left the bottom open so we went down there and it helped. With the rule changes that happened over the winter it helped us with what we do and I want to thank the Michaels family for the track tonight and Jerry Schaffer for giving me this car!”
In the 15 lap mini stock finale Carl Ealy captured his 14th career mini stock feature taking the lead in lap 2 in a wild and wooly affair. Jacob Wheeler would move up 8 spots to finish 2nd, Jordan Reges up 14 positions to finish 3rd, Dillon Thorne 4th and Braden Bice 5th.
Next week will be the same for divisions, including autograph night for the 410 sprint cars the 602 crate modified, and the mini stocks.

WESTBROOK, ERSKINE, WERT, AND HAIR TAKE WINS ON TOUCH-A-TRUCK/TRACTOR NIGHT AT OHSWEKEN
Article Credit: Brent Otchere
OHSWEKEN, Ont. (June 7, 2024) – Braemar Buildings and Plazek Auto Recyclers presented Touch-a-Truck and Tractor Night on Friday at Ohsweken Speedway on Friday; Dylan Westbrook, Lance Erskine, Kyle Wert, Ken Hair took A-Main wins.
Kool Kidz-Corr/Pak 360 Sprint Cars
Josh Hansen and Dylan Swiernik brought the 24 car field to the green flag for
the 360 Sprint Car A-Main. A caution came out before the first lap could be
completed due to and Eric Gledhill spin. The restart of the race was successful
and Hansen led the first lap. Swiernik finally got around Hansen for the lead of
the race on lap ten. Calamity struck for Cole MacDonald as he spun to a stop and
brought out a caution on lap eleven. Matters got worse for MacDonald on the
restart as he flipped on the backstretch after colliding with D.J. Christie.
Swiernik maintained his lead after the restart, but Dylan Westbrook had marched steadily forward from row nine and overtook Swiernik for the lead with two laps to go. The win was Westbrook's third straight at Ohsweken to start the season. Rounding out the top five were Swiernik, Hansen, Matt Farnham, and Ryan Turner.
Strickland’s Crate Sprint Cars
Caleb Wood started on pole with Steve Murdock next to him for the 20 lap Crate
Sprint Car A-Main. The start saw an immediate red flag thrown due to Tom
Pellezari flipping. Pellezari was unharmed but the damage to his car was too
severe to continue. The restart was clean with everyone settling into the race
nicely. Wood led the first seven laps, but relinquished the lead on lap eight to
a hard-charging Lance Erskine.
With just a few laps left to go, Erskine had to navigate through traffic with great finesse. His precision driving led to him securing his first career win in the Crate Sprint Car division after working his way up through the ranks in the Micro Sprint division. Next to cross the finish line were Murdock in second, Jesse Costa third, Darrell Pelletier fourth, and Ashton VanEvery fifth.
Middleport Mechanical Thunder Stocks
Adam Plazek started on pole alongside Aidan Nigh to take the green flag for the
20 lap Thunder Stock A-Main. Lap one started out with a caution flag, restacking
the field for a restart. Plazek led the first lap, but a red flag was thrown on
lap two due to Lyle White flipping on the backstretch. White’s race car was
severely damaged and could not carry on further. Jim Lampman capitalized on the
restart and become the new race leader.
Lap six saw Kyle Wert become the new race leader after he hunted down Lampman. Wert proved to be the driver to beat as he pulled away from the field easily and took a very well-earned victory. Finishing behind Wert were Lampman second, Ryan Beagle third, Dave Bailey fourth, and Ron Loggie fifth.
HRW Automotive Mini Stocks
The front row of the grid featured Aiden Maynard and Christopher French to begin
the 15 lap Mini Stock A-Main. Jeremy Cooper quickly jumped from third on the
grid to race leader before the first lap was complete. Lap three had a caution
flag, bringing the field back together for a restart. Mason Anderson took
advantage of the restart and took the lead, however Ken Hair took that spot away
from him on the next lap.
A caution flag came out on lap ten, setting up a five lap dash to the finish. Hair maintained his lead after the restart, holding off the field to take his first Ohsweken win of the season. Rounding out the top five were Anderson in second, Alex Riley third, Dusty DeBoer fourth, and Nick Erskine fifth.

Starks Does The Double (Again) at Skagit Speedway
6/8/24
By Kaleb Hart
Alger, WA - For the second time in less than a calendar year, Trey Starks won two sprint car main events at Skagit Speedway on the same night. After taking 410 and 360 wins on Season Championship night in 2023, Starks won the 360 and Sportsman Sprint feature on Saturday night in brilliant fashion.
Willie Croft set out to the early lead in the 360 main event with Colton Heath and Trey Starks in hot pursuit. Starks would get past Heath on lap three, and a lap four restart set Trey up for a series of moves that saw him take the lead on the fourth lap, lose it back to Croft on lap five but regain it for good on lap six. From there, Starks built an insurmountable lead of over half a track in taking home the feature win. Croft and Heath had an awesome race through slower traffic with Croft scoring runner up over Heath at the end. Starks was fast time and the heat race winners were Jesse Schlotfeldt, Robbie Price, Colby Thornhill and Dominic Scelzi.
Starks also had to work for his win in the Sportsman Sprints. Aboard the Rutz Racing entry, Starks found the bottom of turn one and two to his liking and passed Jesson Jacobson for the lead on lap 11 in taking the win. Jacobson was second in front of a hard charging Levi Hillier who took third. Jacobson set quick time and won his heat race, while Starks and Jayden Whitney were the other heat race winners.
Alex Peck led every lap of the NW Focus Midget main event for his first win
of the year. Peck was chased all race long by eventual runner up Jared Peterson
but never lost the lead en route to victory lane. Nick Evans drove up to third.
Peterson was a heat race winner, as were Jonathan Jorgenson and Brad Pritchard.

BRYANT BELL COMPLETES WEEKEND WMR SWEEP WITH PETALUMA WIN
PETALUMA, CALIFORNIA (June 9, 2024) – Western Midget Racing has been home to
many close championship battles and another is brewing in 2024, following Bryant
Bell of Oakley sweeping the races on Friday and Saturday nights with wins at
Ocean Speedway and Petaluma Speedway. Bell now trails Santa Cruz’s Logan
Mitchell by only four markers after seven rounds of the 17 race championship.
Bell won an adventurous heat race that had a few different incidents. He then
lined up fourth for the 20-lap feature after the invert.
Santa Rosa’s Sparky Howard drove around the outside of Las Vegas’ Kyle Hawse
to lead lap one. Bell followed Howard on the outside line to advance into
second.
Anthony Bruno of San Jose peeked underneath Bell for second and the teammates
ran side-by-side briefly before Bell held the second spot.
The top-four competitors of Howard, Bell, Bruno, and Mitchell ran under a
close blanket before Bell finally seized the lead on lap five.
Bell and Mitchell ran in lockstep the rest of the way. Mitchell tried to
slide into the lead over Bell in turn three near the halfway point, but Bell
crossed underneath him to hold the lead. Bell grabbed the narrow one-car length
win followed by Mtichell, Bruno, Howard, and Adam Weisberg of Santa Clarita.

Caleb Debem becomes a first time Ocean Sprints winner Friday
Watsonville, CA…Salinas driver Caleb Debem brought home Rookie of the Year honors at Ocean Speedway last season and on Friday night he raced to his first career Taco Bravo Sprint Car victory on the quarter-mile.
Joining him in victory lane Friday were Jason Ryan Jr. with the IMCA Sport Mods, Shawn Jones with the South Bay Dwarf Cars, Kenny Stragalinos with the Four Bangers and Bryant Bell in the visiting WMR feature.
“It feels great to get our first win here tonight at Ocean Speedway,” said Debem following the race. “It was a lot of fun racing with Kurt Nelson and Brad Dillard in the main event. I want to thank everybody who supports our team. I couldn’t do it without all of them.”
Oakdale native Bradley Dillard hopped out to the early lead by way of the pole in the 25-lap Ocean Sprints presented by Taco Bravo feature. Dillard’s Uncle, Kurt Nelson, began to hound his rear tail tank however and made it an entertaining battle up front.
On lap six Nelson nipped him at the line, but Dillard fought back to reclaim the lead shortly after. The 2022 Ocean Sprints champ stayed with it though and made the pass again to take over the point on lap nine. Debem then started to show his muscle and maneuvered into the runner up spot just before the halfway mark.
Debem proceeded to come after Nelson for the lead, as the pair raced closely together for several laps. On lap 18 the duo battled back and forth, before Debem took over the top spot that he would never relinquish.
Nelson had a run coming to the white flag, but hopped the cushion in one and two, which let Debem escape for the Ed Entz checkered flag. Debem won over Dillard, Nelson, Jason Chisum and Adriana Demartini.
The 20-lap IMCA Sport Mod finale saw reigning Ocean Speedway champ Chuck Golden jump out to the lead and set the pace over the initial seven circuits. The always tough Jason Ryan Jr. though snagged the lead on lap eight and led the remainder for victory. Matthew Hagio had a strong charge for second, followed by Emali VanHoff, Danny Wagner and David Crocker.
San Jose veteran Shawn Jones started fourth in the South Bay Dwarf Car feature but had the lead by the time he completed the opening lap. After that is smooth sailing as he held a half track lead at times. Jones grabbed the win over Mark Biscardi, Pete Piantanida, Justin Bingman and Eddy Claessen.
Boulder Creek driver Stragalinos picked up a big win in the Four Banger division on Friday. Thomas Cumming was able to lead the first couple laps, until getting out of shape, which allowed Stragalinos to rocket into the top-spot. Cumming kept him honest over the remainder, but it was Stragalinos crossing under the checkered ahead of Cumming, Peter Vannerus, Kate Beardsley and Ryder Greene.
2023 Western Midget Racing champion Bryant Bell of Oakley, Calif. steered Tony Boscacci’s No. 09 Spike Chassis to victory lane for the fourth time in his career at Watsonville’s Ocean Speedway on Friday night. The victory moves Bell back within six points of Logan Mitchell of Santa Cruz in the championship hunt as the series heads to Petaluma Speedway on Saturday night.
Bell experienced difficulties in his heat race but his team recovered for the feature. San Jose’s Anthony Bruno, Bell’s teammate, and Mitchell scored the heat race wins at their home racetrack.
Las Vegas’ Kyle Hawse placed the Sunland Wood Products No. 20 Triple-X Chassis on the pole for the feature after a six-car invert. Bell used the bottom to advance quickly into the lead by lap four.
Bell accumulated a sizeable advantage over the pack in the non-stop feature. By the time Mitchell had seized second place, the advantage was roughly two seconds. Mitchell marched towards Bell but time ran out. Bell earned his second win of the season for sponsor Toyota Walnut Creek. Mitchell settled for second followed by Lodi’s Nate Wait, Bruno, and Santa Clarita’s Adam Weisberg.

Henry opens Ohio Sprint Speedweek defending home turf at Attica
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Friday, June 7, 2024
By Brian Liskai
ATTICA, Ohio – Cap Henry overcame a poor qualifying effort Friday, June 7 at Attica Raceway Park and defended his home “turf” to open up the 42nd Annual Ohio Sprint Speedweek with a $6,000 victory in the Bert and Brigette Emick Classic on Ohio CAT/LIUNA Night with the Ti22 Performance FAST On Dirt series.
Henry’s winning performance began in his heat race as he charged from eighth starting spot to a win to lock into the dash where he finished second to put him starting third for the 40-lap feature. Attica’s 2023 track champion who won earlier this year, watched Creed Kemenah and Emerson Axsom battle for the lead early with Kemenah leading the first seven circuits before Axsom took over on lap eight. Henry was able to steal second from Kemenah on lap 22 and quickly closed on Axsom, driving into the lead in heavy lapped traffic on lap 25.
Henry sliced through lapped traffic to build a nearly six second lead until a caution flew with just two laps to go another caution just after the white flag gave Greg Wilson a shot at Henry but he was just too strong and drove to his 18th career Attica win over Wilson, Axsom, Craig Mintz and Zeth Sabo.
“After my qualifying Zack (Meyers, crew chief) said told me if that’s all the better I could drive we should just load up and go home. But, my guys went to work and we were able to win the heat and put us in a position to win. Zack, Jeff (Ward), the Wilsons (Chris and Chad) and everyone works so hard on this. We haven’t been very good or consistent this year but they have never quit working. Thanks to Doug Berryman and all his help with our shocks we are beginning to turn things around and this is a great start to speedweek,” said Henry beside his Premier Planning Service, Jeff Ward Demolition, Ohio Logistics, Primal Tee Shop, Elliott’s Custom Trailers and Carts, FK Rod Ends, Griff’s Engines backed #33W.
McClure, Ohio’s Rusty Schlenk turned in a very dominating performance in the Whistle Stop Presents the Dirt Nerds Podcast Powered by Propane UMP Late Model feature. The three time national UMP champion not only led all 25 laps of the feature that saw only one caution, he lapped up to sixth place and his winning margin was nearly nine seconds.
It was Schlenk’s fourth win of the year at Attica and the 42nd of his career at the track with last week’s winner Kyle Moore, defending track champion Devin Shiels, Mike Bores and Ryan Markham rounding out the top five.
“The car was just awesome. I could move anywhere on the track to make passes. The track was technical, smooth and racey…kudos to the track crew on an awesome race surface,” said Schlenk beside Buckeye Concrete Coatings, Terry Henricks Auto Group, Velocita USA, Dominator Race Products, Tom Finch Auto, Domination Race Cars, All Star Performance backed #91.
Ohio Sprint Speedweek moves to Fremont Speedway Presented by Gill Construction Saturday, June 8.
Attica Raceway Park will be back in action Friday, June 21 with the All Pro Aluminum Cylinder Heads/Kistler Racing Products 410 Attica Fremont Championship Series Presented by the Baumann Auto Group in action along with the Attica/Oakshade Raceway Late Model Challenge Series and the NAPA of Bryan 305 AFCS Presented by Jason Dietsch Trailer Sales.

BRYANT BELL EARNS FOURTH CAREER OCEAN SPEEDWAY WMR WIN ON FRIDAY NIGHT
WATSONVILLE, CALIFORNIA (June 7, 2024) – 2023 Western Midget Racing champion
Bryant Bell of Oakley, Calif. steered Tony Boscacci’s No. 09 Spike Chassis to
victory lane for the fourth time in his career at Watsonville’s Ocean Speedway
on Friday night. The victory moves Bell back within six points of Logan Mitchell
of Santa Cruz in the championship hunt as the series heads to Petaluma Speedway
on Saturday night.
Bell experienced difficulties in his heat race but his team recovered for the
feature. San Jose’s Anthony Bruno, Bell’s teammate, and Mitchell scored the heat
race wins at their home race track.
Las Vegas’ Kyle Hawse placed the Sunland Wood Products No. 20 Triple-X
Chassis on the pole for the feature after a six-car invert. Bell used the bottom
to advance quickly into the lead by lap four.
Bell accumulated a sizeable advantage over the pack in the non-stop feature.
By the time Mitchell had seized second place, the advantage was roughly two
seconds. Mitchell marched towards Bell but time ran out. Bell earned his second
win of the season for sponsor Toyota Walnut Creek. Mitchell settled for second
followed by Lodi’s Nate Wait, Bruno, and Santa Clarita’s Adam Weisberg.

PASS Speedy recovery, speedy driver Austin Reed
Talk about a quick turnaround! Just two weeks to the night after injuring his hand in a wicked flip into the trees while heading for a runaway win at Hagerstown Speedway, Austin Reed of Etters planted his #34 sprint car in victory lane after charging through the field to win the 20-lap River Valley Builders PA Sprint Series feature Saturday night at Port Royal Speedway.
He became the fifth different winner in PASS’s rain-hampered 2024 season, and the win was his eighth with the series (first at Port Royal) in the Karma Industrial Services/D&M Transportation/Mac Stack sprinter.
Reed started 11th in a tough field, already narrowed down from 44 entrants, and by lap 12 he was up to third, behind race-long frontrunner Owen Dimm of Mifflintown and determined challenger Mike Melair of Warrington. As Dimm and Melair waged a fierce battle for the lead, Reed patiently waited for his chance, and on lap 18 he pounced, passing both drivers. In those last two laps, the winner pulled away slightly and edged Dimm by 1.273 seconds, with Melair less than half a second back in third.
Doug Dodson of Middletown came home fourth and Nick Sweigart of Myerstown fifth, battling for that position at the checkered flag.
Completing the top ten were Zach Rhodes of McVeytown, Ken Duke Jr. of Selinsgrove, Roger Irvine of Irvona, Jason Roush of Thompsontown, and Josh Spicer of Julian.
Reed’s charge from 11th position to the win also earned him the Penns Valley Meat Market Hard Charger Award, but he wasn’t the only racer on the move during the feature. Rhodes’ sixth-place finish came after starting 15th, and B-Main winner Kruz Kepner of Kreamer climbed from 19th to 11th.
The race was largely incident-free. Fred Arnold of Richfield brought out the caution on lap three when his rear axle locked up on the backstretch, and the next lap, Tim Iulg of Bridgeton, N.J., to a 360 spin while challenging Melair for second place. Iulg was able to continue without stopping, but Port Royal rules required him to go to the rear of the field.
The qualifying events displayed intense competition indicative of everyone’s understanding that nearly 20 teams would pack before the feature. Roush won the first heat race, which saw Iulg charge from tenth to second. The second heat was won by Dodson and the third by Seth Schnoke of Pine Grove, after Mid Atlantic Sprint Series competitors Larry McVay of Bordentown, N.J., and Danny Buccafusca of Rockaway, N.J., tangled battling for second place. McVay was done for the night, but Buccafusca was able to continue, although he didn’t qualify for the feature.
In an incredibly talent-filled fourth heat, Sweigart took the win, and 2023 River Valley Builders PASS Champion Logan Spahr was relegated to the B-Main.
With 22 cars going for the final six starting positions in the B-Main, Kepner captured the win, and Dustin Young of Danville edged Spahr for the final spot in the field on the last lap.
Zach Rhodes posted the fastest time in hot laps.
Starting position draw was critical in such a large field, and rookie Kolby Weaver of Everett was saddled with the worst heat race starting draw, but at least that earned him the VP Racing Race Ready Award.
The weekend’s first “double” for the River Valley Builders PASS tour was to continue Sunday at Selinsgrove Speedway.
PASS is dedicated to the heritage of RaceSaver with stable and enforceable rules, consistent rules application and fair purse distribution paying 24th place one half of first place.

Trey Starks repeats and picks up his third win of the year on College and Kids Night
By Erik List
6.1.24
Alger, WA—With weather threatening the night at Skagit Speedway, the racing heated up and did not disappoint.
Trey Starks became the first driver to put three feathers in his cap this year as he grabbed back-to-back wins at Skagit Speedway with the KarMart 410 Sprint Cars. Starks started outside Robbie Price and put the pedal to the floor on the initial start, flying away from Price on the high side of turns one and two. As the race progressed into lap traffic, Starks did not fade from the point, diving around traffic like they were standing still. Price matched him move for move but Starks always found a way to get around the next lapper first.
Hot on the heels of Price was fast-moving Tanner Holmes, coming from the fourth position and finding himself in second on the last lap due to a hiccup from Price that relegated him from second to fourth. All while these three raced it out, Landon Brooks quietly made his way from eight the third. Justin Youngquist, Eric Fisher, and Tanner Holmes all won heat races.
The Skagit Aggregates IMCA Modifieds was a race for the ages that saw a drag race to the line for the second spot between Tyson Blood, Rick Smith, and Jeff Westergard. James Bundy set a torrid pace out front that was unmatchable all race long. While he pulled away from the rest of the field, the race behind him only got better.
Needing a couple of cautions early to get the field going, Rick Smith and Lee Swift quickly made their way into second and third before attempting to run down Bundy. They got close a couple of times, but never enough to get by. All the while, Tyson Blood worked his way from the rear of the field to the front. Blood was involved in an early race caution which is why he had to come from the back.
Coming to the line, Blood sent it around the top side of three and four, and while beating and banging to the line, Tyson Blood edged out Smith and Westergard for second. Smith wound up third, while Westergard ended in fourth. Zane Miner and Tyson Blood won the two heat races.
From the rear of the field to the front, Brian Michelson marched forward to claim his second win of the year in the Hornet division. There were plenty of comers and goers upfront during the Hornets A-Main. William Zottneck led the opening laps before having issues with his car that ended his race early. With Zottneck out, Mike Ploeg got handed the lead before he ended up falling back and suffering engine troubles late in the race.
Colins Sims took over for a few laps, but the hard-charging Michelson used the high side to drive up to Sims and made the pass for the lead. Scott Henry and Brian Michelson won the heat races.

RYAN SMITH WINS HIS 2ND WESTERN PA SPRINT SPEEDWEEK EVENT IN 4 TRIES AT SHARON; CAREER 1ST BIG-BLOCK MOD WIN FOR AYDEN CIPRIANO; 1ST EVER "305" SPRINT RACE TO JEREMY KORNBAU
June 1, 2024
By Mike Leone
(Hartford, OH)…After an ultra-successful World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car event on May 18 and a weekend off for Memorial Day, Sharon Speedway returned to action on a beautiful Saturday evening welcoming in Western PA Sprint Speedweek. Celebrating in the Hovis Auto & Truck Supply victory lane were Ryan Smith (Hovis Auto & Truck Supply "410" Sprint Cars presented by Bala Management), Ayden Cipriano (Hovis Auto & Truck Supply Big-Block Modifieds) and Jeremy Kornbau ("305" Sprint Cars). Eighty-seven cars were in the pit area for the three-division show on Sara Cipriano at Novus Mortgage of Hermitage and Sportsman's Supply Night.
Central Pennsylvania invader Ryan Smith slipped under Indiana's Zane DeVault on lap seven and kept 12th starting Dave Blaney at bay in lapped traffic to win the Western PA Speedweek event at Sharon for the second time in the last four years. Smith, the 2021 Sharon winner and Western PA Speedweek Champion, earned $4,000 for the for the 30-lap Hovis Auto & Truck Supply "410" Sprint Car victory.
"It's pretty cool to beat Dave (Blaney) at his own place- I knew he had to be coming," acknowledged the 26-year-old Kunkletown, Pa. native. "I just tried not to make any mistakes, capitalize on lapped car mistakes, and get what I could. All in all not bad for just the third time out with my guys this year. It's been a lot of fun even though we struggled last night, but rebounded and took all the big money tonight. The car was really good. We made some small changes between last night and today, and it definitely showed. Hopefully we can race tomorrow and end the week on a good note."
DeVault raced into the early lead aboard the Lane Racing #4 in search of his first Sharon Speedway victory, while Smith settled into second. By lap three, DeVault and Smith quickly pulled away from Mitch Harble and the rest of the field. Quebec's Jordan Poirier, fresh off a runner-up finish in his Lernerville Speedway debut on Friday night, started seventh and was already up to fourth by lap three.
Eyes began to shift to the "Buckeye Bullet", who was making his way forward. Blaney was already up to fifth on lap four dropping Logan McCandless out of the top five. Blaney then drove around Poirier and Harble in successive laps to take third on lap six. DeVault got too high and slapped the turn two fence on lap seven allowing Smith to drive by for what would be the winning move. The event's only caution was for Denny Peebles, who slowed with a flat tire with seven laps completed.
When racing resumed on lap eight, Blaney slipped under DeVault for second with Poirier following in third. Poirier began to challenge Blaney for the runner-up spot, while Smith maintained his lead. Smith had a two-second lead when he caught lapped traffic on lap 14. Smith maintained that advantage over the second half of the caution-free event as he took the checkered flag by 1.871 seconds in the BJD Motorsports, Western Mountain/Red Robin Gourmet Burgers-sponsored #6.
Blaney, the current Speedweek points leader, was second. Poirier faded late as DeVault got back to third. Dale Blaney went eighth to fourth. McCandless completed the top five. Adam Kekich was sixth as Poirier dropped to seventh after challenging Blaney for second at the mid-part of the event. Lee Jacobs went 19th to 8th to earn the $250 hard charger. Dan Kuriger was ninth. Mark Smith raced from 17th to 10th.
Dave Blaney set fast time overall against the 46-car field in qualifying with a lap of 15.835 to earn $250. Heat race winners were Dave Blaney, Kekich, Dale Blaney, Ryan Smith, and Chase Metheney. A.J. Flick and Lance Moss captured the last chance B mains.
The Big-Block Modifieds made their first of six appearances of the 2024 season and it was young, up and coming talent Ayden Cipriano capturing his first career win in the division. Cipriano inherited the lead on lap eight when leader Rick Regalski was called for a jump and kept a steady advantage over eighth starting Rex King, Jr. throughout the 25-lap Hovis Auto & Truck Supply feature. Cipriano earned $2,000 thanks to sponsorship from Autism Awareness, King Bros. Ready Mix Concrete, King's Sanitary Services, Russ King Racing, and Thermo Supply.
"This feels great," expressed the 18-year-old Hermitage, Pa. driver. "There's a lot of great people in this class and I'm just happy that I could pull it off in my first year in this car. I know he's (King, Jr.) always somewhere if he's not in front of me, he's definitely right behind me. I knew someone had to be there, but I just hit my marks and didn't figure he could get around me."
Regalski led the first seven laps in search of his first Sharon victory before a caution for Steve Feder. When racing resumed, Regalski was called for starting the race before the restart zone, which moved Cipriano into the lead. When racing resumed, King was able to charge into second. The 28-time winner closed the gap in the final laps, but Cipriano didn't make any mistakes as he took the William Cipriano-owned, Wheatland Steel Processing/Novus Mortgage of Hermitage/Rudy's Tavern/Stainless Steel Engineering/BJS Powder Coating-sponsored #5c by 0.647 seconds. Cipriano, a five-time RUSH Sportsman Modified winner, became the 97th different driver to win a Big-Block Modified feature in the history of Sharon.
In addition to a $1,200 payday, King also earned the $100 Summit Racing Equipment gift card for being the hard charger. Chas Wolbert was third over ninth starting Will Thomas III. Brad Rapp had a good run going 11th to 5th. Rounding out the top 10 were Garrett Krummert, Regalski, Chad Reitz, Mike Kinney, and Steve Barr. King and Thomas won the heat races over the 19-car field.
Jeremy Kornbau will go down in the record books as the very first winner of a Racesaver "305" Sprint Car event at Sharon. Kornbau, who has competed in numerous "410" events over the years at Sharon including many with a "305", led all 20 laps of the Sportsman's Supply-sponsored feature for the $800 victory.
"I've wanted to win here for so long," stated the 23-year-old Hermitage, Pa. racer. "I grew up here and it's always been my dream to be standing here looking up at those grandstands so it's finally that time. It looked like the big blocks would lay some rubber down so we tightened it up, but didn't want to get too tight. I knew when we lined up we were going to be good. Gary Edwards (crew chief) was freaking out a little bit; he's won a lot of races here so I know this means a lot to him. I just tried to do my part and he did his and it all worked out. Everyone has been with me so long through the struggles and I'm glad it's now working out for everyone."
Kornbau started on the pole alongside Nolan Grove, a two-time non-wing RUSH Sprint Car winner at Sharon, as Kornbau jumped into the lead. Jim Pattock started eighth and raced into third by lap three getting by Brett Brunkenhoefer, another driver who has raced with the "410s" over the years with his "305". While Kornbau caught lapped traffic on lap seven, Brunkenhoefer was able to regain third from Pattock.
The event's only caution occurred with 13 laps completed when Dylan Shatzer, Greg Dobrosky, and Jacob Gomola tangled. Kornbau didn't allow Groves to challenge him over the final seven laps as he crossed the finish line first by 1.539 seconds in the Ed & Jerry's Auto Service/Hickory Hills Family Dental/Fox's Pizza-sponsored #27K. Brunkenhoefer was a career best third at Sharon over Roman Jones. Pattock dropped back to fifth at the finish. Jarrett Rosencrance was sixth over Dale Schweikart. Veteran "410" racers Andy Priest and Arnie Kent finished eighth and ninth. Vermont's John Scarborough was 10th. Heat winners over the 22-car field were Dakota Schweikart, Pattock, and Priest.
There will be no racing on June 8; however, Sharon Speedway will be in action on Wednesday, June 12 for Ohio Speedweek featuring the Hovis Auto & Truck Supply "410" Sprint Cars in a FAST Series event for $5,000 to-win.

Macri, Sullivan and Yeigh Hustle to Heiman Fire Equipment Night Wins at Huset's Speedway
Inside Line Promotions - BRANDON, S.D. (June 2, 2024) - Anthony Macri, Andrew Sullivan and Cory Yeigh were hot at Huset's Speedway on Sunday during Heiman Fire Equipment Night.
Emerson Axsom led the first four laps of the 25-lap Cressman Sanitation 410 Outlaw Sprint Cars main event before disaster struck. Brooke Tatnell slowed entering turn three and contact from a competitor broke his front end, sending him toward the infield. Axsom had nowhere to go and smacked into Tatnell, ending the race for both drivers.
Macri inherited the lead and took advantage. Cautions on the restart and on Lap 17 bunched the field together and Macri battled through thick traffic the final half-dozen laps, but he maintained the point for his first career victory at Huset's Speedway.
"Wow, I feel a little winded after that one," he said. "Lappers made it kind of interesting there. I knew I had to stay smart and not mess up too much. It's a small bullring and people can catch you pretty quick. I just tried my hardest to run clean laps and smart laps.
"It's pretty special. We're good friends with (Danny) Lasoski and he's told me stories about this place."
Kerry Madsen earned a runner-up result for the second time in the last three races at the track.
"It was close at the end there," he said. "I started to sniff him the last couple of laps. I probably didn't do what I needed the last lap. It was still a good finish. Good runs like this are just what the doctor ordered for us."
Points leader Kaleb Johnson posted a third-place finish for his division-best third top five of the season.
"The start of the race I was a little worried; we were a little free," he said. "Third place isn't so bad. We'll try again next week."
Mark Dobmeier charged from 13 th to fourth and Andy Pake placed fifth.
Madsen set quick time during qualifying before Macri, Johnson and Dusty Zomer recorded heat race triumphs.
Sullivan earned his first career Huset's Speedway victory by capturing a thrilling Wyffels Hybrids RaceSaver Sprint Car Series 20-lap feature.
Sullivan led the first 14 laps before entering traffic. Dylan Waxdahl, who was committed to the cushion, took the lead in turn two on Lap 15, but Sullivan's patience on the bottom paid off as he reclaimed the top spot in turn four. Waxdahl powered into the lead officially on Lap 16, but two laps later it was Sullivan driving back into first place as he stuck to the bottom groove. He led the final three circuits to become the 11 th different winner in 12 total features at the track this season.
"It was definitely an experience," he said. "That track was fun. I turned 20 today and I'm happy. On the bottom my car just stuck good. I saw Dylan get around me and I had to be more aggressive."
Waxdahl finished second with Shayle Bade advancing from eighth to third. Dillon Bickett was fourth and Dusty Ballenger maneuvered from 10 th to fifth.
The heat races were won by Waxdahl, Jared Jansen, Jacob Peterson and Sullivan with Bayley Ballenger winning the B Main.
Yeigh dominated the 20-lap Nordstrom's Automotive Late Model Street Stocks main event as he led the distance to become the first repeat winner of the season at Huset's Speedway.
"I've been trying, but this is the first one," Yeigh said of winning an event one of his partners sponsored. He was awarded a $3,000 bonus courtesy of Heiman Fire Equipment - his employer and the night's event sponsor - in addition to his winnings. "It's pretty cool."
A pair of cautions within the first five laps was the only thing that kept the competition close to Yeigh, who increased his lead in traffic to more than four seconds before the checkered flag was waved marking his 21 st victory at the track.
Brandon Ferguson, Mike Chaney, Matt Steuerwald and Kyle DeBoer rounded out the top five, respectively.
Yeigh, Ferguson and Billy Prouty were the heat race winners.
The next event at Huset's Speedway is Sunday for Frankman Motor Company Night featuring the Cressman Sanitation 410 Outlaw Sprint Cars, the Nordstrom's Automotive Late Model Street Stocks and the Wyffels Hybrids RaceSaver Sprint Car Series.

Steven Snyder Jr Snags POWRi Outlaw Micro PA KKM Challenge Championship Night Win
Newmanstown, PA. (6/1/24) Steven Snyder Jr would use patience and precision
to pocket the $10K Championship Night payday to win his second straight yearly
installment of the Keith Kunz Motorsports Challenge presented by Start2Finish TV
and claim his third seasonal victory with the POWRi Non-Wing Outlaw Micro League
at the outstanding hosting Clyde-Martin Memorial Speedway.
Going through a determined field of fifty-six entries on the championship
night of the POWRi Outlaw Non-Wing Micro division in the KKM Challenge would
find Bradley Brown set the quick hot lap time of non-lock-ins with a time of
11.115-seconds. Bradley Brown and Kole Kirkman would each emerge victorious
semi-features with Bubba Hughes gaining the C-feature win.
Flying onto the smooth Clyde-Martin Memorial Speedway surface for Championship Night racing for the final night of the Pennsylvania Keith Kunz Motorsports Challenge presented by Start2Finish TV would see Steven Snyder Jr win the ‘King of the Clyde’ dash to earn the feature event pole-starting position.
Bringing the initial field to green would find each prelim night winner
Steven Snyder Jr and Alex Bright pacing the field as the green flag flew with
Snyder taking the early on-track advantages over Bright only to witness Alex
Bright stick to the top of the track and overtake for the lead on the second
lap.
Keeping momentum on the top shelf of “The Clyde”, Alex Bright would lead over
the slimmest of margins of Steven Snyder Jr with Christian Bruno clinging close
behind as Thomas Kunsman Jr and Jake Andreotti rounded out the early contending
top five.
Occurring lap traffic around the mid-race point, Bright would continue to
lead the top-five separating pack with Kole Kirkman, Jacob Severn, Neal Allison,
Gunnar Pio, and Chelby Hinton battled inside the running top ten as the first
caution waved on lap eighteen.
Restarting with the POWRi Chose-Cone in play as leading Alex Bright elected
the low line as second-running Steven Snyder Jr went to the top shelf with
Bright declaring the lead emphatically over Snyder, Kunsman, Bruno, and Kirkman.
Overtaking for the top spot on lap twenty-six, Steven Snyder Jr would wait
until the perfect time to ride the slider line into the lead as Alex Bright
maintained the second position with Christian Bruno, Thomas Kunsman Jr, and the
hard-charging Kyle Spence closing late.
Setting the stage for late-race dramatics, caution would wave with less than
five laps remaining, Steven Snyder Jr would not be denied and hold steady up
front for his eighth career POWRi Non-Wing Outlaw Micro victory as one-time
leader Alex Bright would finish in the closely contended second spot with Kyle
Spence advancing nineteen positions to finalize the podium placements.
“We were just so even and I didn’t know what I could do to catch Alex. In the
last half I started getting a rhythm and whatever clicked in the final tens laps
it just made me faster.” said the delighted Steven Snyder Jr in the Clyde-Martin
Memorial Speedway victory lane for Championship Night of the PA KKM Challenge.
Adding, “It’s great to have people behind me that I can trust and that gives me
the confidence I need just to get out there and drive”.
Driving from starting sixteenth, Briggs Danner would place fourth as Kole
Kirkman rounded out the top-five finishers in the POWRi Outlaw Micro League
feature in Championship Night of the Keith Kunz Motorsports Challenge presented
by Start2Finish TV at Clyde-Martin Memorial Speedway.

Santos Tops Battle Of The Bobbys In Lancaster Must See Run
LANCASTER, N.Y. (June 1, 2024) – The “Bobby and Bobby Show” Saturday night at Lancaster Motorplex was decided by a mid-race caution flag and a wild restart battle.
After polesitter Bobby Komisarski led the first half of the 30-lap Must See Racing Perfit Sprint Car Series feature at the New York half-mile, a restart forced by the slowing car of Kevin Mingus led to one of the most entertaining duels in series history.
Lining up Komisarski on the inside of the front row with asphalt kingpin Bobby Santos III to his right flank, the pair of Bobbys raced as deep as possible into turn one when the green flag waved on lap 16 in an effort to make the other one blink.
The duo stayed side-by-side for an entire lap, then swapped lanes in turn one on lap 17 and repeated the dance before Santos finally edged clear and took the lead for good.
From there, Santos held off a late charge from Canadian superstar Aaron Willison to claim the $5,000 winner’s prize in the No. 22a Classic Corvettes/BMRS-sponsored, DJ Racing-prepared Beast Chassis.
It was Santos’ ninth career Must See Racing sprint car victory and his second in a row, after topping the season opener back on May 18 at Michigan’s Berlin Raceway.
“That was tough, both in the middle and at the end,” said Santos in victory lane. “That 50 car has been the model of [asphalt] winged sprint car racing for a long time now, and then putting someone as talented as Aaron Willison in it is a scary thing. He was coming there at the end, but we had a good race car and were able to hang on to it.
“[Komisarski] was on his A-game tonight, also, so props to him,” Santos added. “He gave me a really good battle there on the restart, and I pushed him just hard enough on the outside that he opened the door an inch on the inside to where we could take advantage. Without that restart, though, he might have had us tonight. His day is coming, for sure.”
With an eight-car inversion putting Komisarski and reigning rookie-of-the-year Mingus on the front row, a dead-even start allowed Komisarski to clear to the lead and begin to put down quick laps in clean air.
Though Santos got to second at the end of the first lap, he quickly found that the dirty air off of Komisarski’s blue No. 7 left him struggling to find a way past as a green-flag run broke out.
Every time Santos would take a peek for the lead, Komisarski moved to cover the opening, allowing the Dayton, Ohio, driver to lead the first 15 laps before Mingus’ No. Z10 lost power in turn one.
That forced the race’s only caution and led to the restart scramble that Santos eventually prevailed in.
Willison, who was wheeling Dick Myers’ potent No. 50m, got to second with 11 laps left and had a bullet underneath him. He cut down Santos’ lead from a second-and-a-half to just car lengths at the white flag.
He ran out of time and real estate, however, to make a move for the win and had to settle for second.
“One or two more laps, and I think we might have gotten him,” said Willison. “It was such a pleasure to drive this 50m for Dick Myers; he put together a rocket tonight. It was rolling really well. It’s a shame that track position got the best of us at the end, but we had fun driving up through the field.”
Komisarski rounded out the podium with a career-best finish, followed by Davey Hamilton Jr. in fourth and fast-timer Joe Liguori in fifth.
Liguori kicked off the program by setting a new qualifying track record of 15.253 seconds ( mph) around the half-mile oval, the ninth fast time of his Must See Racing career.
Rick Holley and Hamilton won their respective eight-lap heat races prior to the main event.
The Must See Racing Perfit Sprint Car Series season continues Saturday, June 15 at the three-eighths-mile Plymouth (Ind.) Speedway, where Hamilton won last year’s event.
The results:
Qualifying (best of two laps): Joe Liguori, 68, Rudolph-15.253; 2. Aaron Willison, 50m, Myers-15.291; 3. Ryan Litt, 07, Litt-15.510; 4. Davey Hamilton Jr., 14, Morgan-15.564; 5.

Kalib Henry gets thrilling last corner pass for Fremont 410 win; Jamie Miller earns 3rd 305 victory; Valenti gets 75th career Fremont win in trucks
Saturday, June 1, 2024
By Brian Liskai
FREMONT, Ohio (Saturday, June 1, 2024) – Kalib Henry executed a last lap, last corner pass to win his first ever 410 sprint car feature at Fremont Speedway Presented by Gill Construction Saturday on Vision Quest/Construction Equipment and Supply Night.
Henry, from Sacramento, California, thought he had shown his hand too early when he drove to the outside of turns three and four to take the lead from Zeth Sabo with just four laps to go. Sabo, who had been running the bottom groove, drove back under in turns one and two and regained the lead and immediately went to the top side to block Henry. Entering the final set of turns on the last lap, Sabo went back to the bottom to try and get around a lapped car and Henry sailed across the top and the drag race to the checkers had both cars colliding with Henry winning by .123 seconds with Sabo seconds with a broken front axle.
“Turn one has kind of been my nemesis since we’ve been racing here and I left the door open a little bit there because I just missed the bottom and he was there. I can’t leave these guys an inch. I can’t thank Muth family enough, Harrison Distributing, Valvoline components. Thanks to the fans, my family back home, Kevin for giving me a hot rod…we’ve just been clicking at it and we finally got a win. Damn it that was awesome,” said Henry.
DJ Foos bolted from third to the lead on the opening lap of the Fort Ball Pizza Palace 410 Sprint A-main but during a caution on lap seven, had a left rear tire going flat and had to pit, handing the lead to Sabo. Sabo pulled away from a great battle for second involving Travis Philo, Henry and Sean Rayhall. Henry took the runner-up spot in lapped traffic at the halfway point. Following a caution on lap 20, Henry stayed right with Sabo and executed the high side pass on lap 26 with Sabo driving back under to the lead at the opposite end of the track, setting up the dramatic finish.
Behind Henry and Sabo at the checkers was 10th starter Cale Thomas, Cap Henry and 19th starter Trey Jacobs to round out the top five.
Thomas, who won Friday at Attica Raceway Park, will add to his lead in the All Pro Aluminum Cylinder Heads/Kistler Racing Products Attica Fremont Championship Series Presented by the Baumann Auto Group.
Fremont, Ohio’s Jamie Miller also utilized the high side of turns three and four to take the lead from Dustin Stroup in the 25-lap Fremont Federal Credit Union 305 Sprint feature and sliced through heavy lapped traffic late to score his third win of the season in the division. Miller, who also owns three wins in 2024 at Attica, now has 50 career victories at Fremont Speedway.
Zack Kramer took the initial lead in the 305 A-main with Paul Weaver, Stroup and Miller giving chase. Stroup had a nearly two second lead by lap seven when Miller, who started fifth, drove into second. Miller steadily chipped away at Stroup’s lead and pounced on lap 15 and drove to the win over Stroup, Bryan Sebetto, Weaver and Kramer.
The win also pads Miller’s lead in the NAPA of Bryan Attica Fremont Championship Series Presented by Jason Dietsch Trailer Sales as he looks to stop the four season title run by Weaver.
“I could go anywhere I wanted to but that high side in three and four just was comfortable. What a weekend for this team,” said Miller beside his Boca Construction, JLH General Contractors, Kenny Kolb Farms, Tuck Pointing America, Queen of Clean, Smitty’s Pizza, Roberts & Sons Contracting, Pizza Wheel, Crown Battery, Reedtown Tavern, Fostoria Mod Shop, Sandy’s Dad, Gressman Powersports, Phil Rister, Slade Shock Technology backed #26.
Steve Miller grabbed the early lead of the 20-lap Burmeister Trophy Dirt Truck A-main with Shawn Valenti, Brad Stuckey, Dan Hennig, Cory McCaughey and Keith Sorg in pursuit. Every time Miller built up a sizeable lead a caution would put Valenti right on his rear bumper. Following a restart on lap 11, Valenti blasted to the top side of the track to take the lead with Sorg moving into second. The truck on the move was Jamie Miller who hoped in the Ron Miller truck for the feature after his normal ride had a mechanical issue. Miller started last in the feature and was up to third by lap 14.
Valenti seemed to have things in control when a caution came out for debris with just two laps to go. That put Jamie Miller right on the leader’s rear bumper. On the restart Valenti went high and Miller low as they raced side by side to the white flag. Valenti, a four time truck champion at Fremont, nailed the top line in turns three and four on the final lap to score his 75th career win at Fremont over Jamie Miller, Sorg, Dustin Keegan and Dave Golembiewski.
“You go on a dry spell and you wonder if you’re ever going to get back up here. Only fitting…hopefully we have a new truck out. It’s fitting this one goes out the way it came in. I have to thank Jeff Babcock for everything he’s done for me,” said Valenti beside his Craig Miller Trucking, Conrad Transportation, Dave Story Equipment, A Plus Auto Center, Concrete Material Supply, S&S Hauling and Excavating backed #7B.
Prior to the night’s racing the Fremont Speedway Hall of Fame held its 2024 induction ceremonies. Drivers inducted were Clay Corbitt, Bobby Clark, Bill Kraylek, Bobby Foster and Tom Beam with car owners Sharon Burmeister, Gary Heller and Dick “Soup” Sabo also inducted. Builders/mechanics being inducted were Rollie Alvers, Zane Scott and Lester Miller with lifetime contributors/supporters Joe Darr and Stan Barnes with Fort Ball Pizza Palace honored as the business inductee.
Fremont Speedway will be back in action Saturday, June 8 for night #2 of the 42nd Annual Ohio Sprint Speedweek with the Ti22 Performance FAST on Dirt Series in town with the field going for $10,000 to win. Ohio Sprint Speedweek will feature nine straight nights of racing across Ohio. The 305 sprints and dirt trucks will also be in competition.

WESTBROOK, COSTA, BEAGLE, AND RILEY TAKE SIX NATIONS COMMUNITY NIGHT WINS AT OHSWEKEN
Article Credit: Brent Otchere
OHSWEKEN, Ont. (May 31, 2024) – Six Nations Bingo & Aecon-Six Nations presented Six Nations Community Night on Friday at Ohsweken Speedway; Dylan Westbrook, Jesse Costa, Ryan Beagle, Alex Riley took A-Main wins.
Kool Kidz-Corr/Pak 360 Sprint Cars
Josh Hansen started on pole alongside Shone Evans to take the green flag for the
25 lap 360 Sprint Car A-Main. Hansen led the first three laps until a caution
appeared due to a pileup in turn one. Opening night winner Dylan Westbrook took
advantage of the situation by quickly seizing the second position after the
restart.
Westbrook pulled off a daring crossover on Hansen, becoming the new race leader on lap 13. The second half of the race was a battle of attrition due to multiple caution flags, negating Westbrook’s lead over the field each time. The veteran driver endured the setbacks, securing his second victory in a row to start the Ohsweken season. Nick Sheridan crossed the finish line in second, followed by Ryan Turner in third, Hansen fourth, and Mike Bowman fifth.
Strickland’s Crate Sprint Cars
Lance Erskine and Caleb Wood brought the 28 car field to the green flag for the
20 lap Crate Sprint Car A-Main. The start saw an immediate red flag thrown due
to Ken Hamilton flipping on the exit of turn one. Hamilton was unharmed but the
damage to his car was too severe to continue. Erskine had a short-lived lead
after a restart as a caution came out on just the third lap of action. Jesse
Costa seized the opportunity, performing a great restart and snatching the lead
away from Erskine. Costa checked out while a battle for second was brewing
between Erskine, Brett Stratford, and Wood, all three putting on an entertaining
display of race craft. A dramatic green-white-checker finished ensued due to a
late-race caution. Stratford gave a last-minute Hail Mary for the lead, but it
was not enough as Costa sailed past the checkered flag first. Stratford crossed
the line next in second, with Brent Begolo following him in third, Erskine
fourth, and Mack DeMan fifth.
Middleport Mechanical Thunder Stocks
Ryan Beagle started on pole with Ron Loggie next to him for the 20 lap Thunder
Stock A-Main. From the start of the race, it was the Beagle show; he put a
convincing lead over the field, quickly cementing himself as the one to watch
for a victory. A succession of cautions could not stop Beagle’s progress.
Despite the Thunder Stock Class being an incredibly competitive group of drivers, Beagle ended up leading every lap and won the race convincingly. Rounding out the top five were Kyle Wert in second, Loggie third, Zach Bleich fourth, and Trevor DeBoer fifth.
HRW Automotive Mini Stocks
The front row of the grid featured Jason Tolton and Ken Hair to begin the 15 lap
Mini Stock A-Main. The race opened with a caution flag in turn one due Rogan
Monaghan spinning to a stop after receiving contact. Hair, Gillian Hils, and
Jeff Elsliger took turns leading the race until a caution came out due to Tim
DeBoer colliding into the back stretch wall head on. The crash caused major
damage, possibly retiring the car for the rest of the season. Most importantly
however, DeBoer was unharmed in the accident.
Elsliger brought the field back to green with Hils quickly challenging while Alex Riley caught up to the two dueling leaders. A late-race caution came out due Mike Sarantakos spinning out in turn two. The race resumed with a two lap dash to the finish, which saw Riley take over the lead from Elsliger and taking the win. Riley was all smiles as he claimed his second victory in a row. Next to cross the finish line were Elsliger in second, Matt Nuell third, Nick Erskine fourth, and Hils fifth.

Justin Sanders keeps on winning ways with SCCT in Placerville
By Gary Thomas
Placerville, CA…Justin Sanders and car owner Dale Miller have started out the SCCT season blazing hot and on Friday night in Placerville they continued that pace, racing to their fourth victory in as many races.
It didn’t come easy for Sanders on this night however, as he battled tooth and nail with Shane Hopkins during an entertaining 35-lap Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour finale. With extra money raised and the Shop Kyle Larson Bonus factored in, the Dale Miller Septic team walked away with $3,500 for their efforts on Adrian Blanco Jewelry Night.
The opening night Bradway Memorial main event came to the line with Sanders on the pole by way of winning the High Sierra Industries Dash. He jumped out to the early lead as cars raced on every inch of the quarter mile bullring.
Placerville’s own Shane Hopkins was fresh off a career night with SCCT and once again looked extremely impressive. The driver of the High Sierra Industries No. 21 ran the bottom to perfection and climbed to second on lap four, before setting his sights on the leader.
Hopkins hounded Sanders until taking the top-spot on lap 9 as the crowd came to their feet. Sanders didn’t let him get far away after that however, as the pair put on a tremendous show. Hopkins put his car exactly where it needed to be lap after lap as he started to work traffic.
A lap 25 restart set up the race changing moment though, as Sanders blasted to the outside and grabbed the lead that he would never relinquish. The pride of Aromas, California drove off to record his 12th career Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour win and 25th of his 360 career at Placerville Speedway.
Fremont’s Shane Golobic was able to make the move for second on lap 28 and record his third runner up finish of the SCCT season. The driver of the Matt Wood Racing No. 17w closed in on Sanders, until getting bogged down in traffic with a couple circuits left. Hopkins put together another valiant effort to cross the stripe in third for his second straight Sprint Car Challenge Tour podium.
Hanford’s Michael Faccinto and Lemoore’s Cole Macedo rounded out the top-five. Completing the top-10 were Dylan Bloomfield, Tony Gomes, Tanner Carrick, Max Mittry and Jodie Robinson. Braden Chiaramonte earned the Pit Stop USA Hard Charger Award, driving from 21st to 13th after winning the B-main.
A strong field of 40 cars signed into the pits to help open the Dave Bradway Jr. Memorial weekend with SCCT. Heat race wins went to Sanders, Faccinto, Dominic Scelzi and Bloomfield. Tanner Carrick began the night by earning the Sierra Foothills Wine Services Fast Time Award with a lap of 10.829. He also took home an extra $100 thanks to Mancamp Motorsports.
The Nor-Cal Dwarf Cars once again brought a robust field of 29 entries on night of the Bradway. Fairfield veteran Mike “Spanky” Grenert jumped out front and led Dylan Shrum on a long green flag run to start the feature. The action was intense as always on the tight bullring, with three wide racing prevalent.
A caution with two laps remaining set up a green, white, checkered restart that Grenert hit to perfection. Shrum kept pace with him and tried to make something happen, but it Grenert crossed the stripe for victory. Shrum came home second followed by Shawn Whitney, Ben Wiesz and Danny Wagner in the top-five.

NIENHISER NABS 27TH CAREER MOWA WIN
JACKSONVILLE, IL - If there is any driver who knows how to navigate around the ¼-mile oval at the Morgan County Fairgrounds, it’s Paul Nienhiser. On the heels of three series victories in 2023, the Chapin, Illinois driver returned to victory lane at his “home away from home”, besting the field of 25 competitors on Friday night. By virtue of his fourth place finish in his Heat Race earlier in the evening, Nienhiser was able to find the number-three pill during the MOWA redraw to start from inside the second row in the evening’s 25-Lap main event alongside Trevin Littleton. MIssouri’s Gunner Ramey and local favorite Will Armitage led the field to the green flag. Ramey pounced to the early lead and held serve over the field. Quickly behind, Armitage, Nienhiser, and Littleton waged war in a three-car battle for third. Not far behind were Jake Neuman, Chase Briscoe and Korey Weyantwho wanted to throw their names into the mix. Nienhiser pulled alongside Ramey on the tenth-lap and overtook the top spot. Armitage had found momentum and moved past Ramey into the second position just as Kevin Petty made contact with the turn four embankment, sending his #72 upside down just ahead of the lead pack. Petty escaped unharmed. Returning to green-flag action, Nienhiser jumped to a commanding lead as he piloted his #9X machine through open air around the speedway. Behind him, the battle ensued as Chase Briscoe set his sights on Jake Neuman and a top five position. A lap 12 caution for Jason Keith slowed the field once more as the right-front tire on Keith’s machine came unattached and he sat in turn one unable to move. At the halfway point, Nienhiser brought the field back to green flag conditions ahead of Will Armitage, Gunner Ramey, Trevin Littleton and Jake Neuman. Perfecting his run on the high line of the track, Nienhiser again showed that his #9X would be unstoppable, only to see a third yellow flag over the field with Tyler Duff stopped atop the turn two exit. The field bunched up with 12 laps remaining for a third try of a restart. Gunner Ramey then collided with Jake Neuman and collected Steven Russell and Jeremy Standridge in a turn-three melee that ultimately ended Neuman’s evening with damage to his #3N. NInehiser used a strong run to lead the remaining laps and score his 27th career MOWA Sprint Car Series victory - and 10th at Jacksonville. Korey Weyant overtook Will Armitage to grab a second place finish ahead of Will Armitage, Chase Briscoe and Trevin Littleton. The Morrow Brothers Ford MOWA Sprint Car Series will take a four-week break before picking back up with a $3,000-to-win event June 28 at Jacksonville Speedway.

PIERCE PULLS THROUGH TO TAKE AFTON VICTORY
Race Report By: Marty Czekala - June 1, 2024
AFTON, N.Y. – “The Flyin’ School Teacher” Kyle Pierce received an A+ as he took the twin checkers at Afton Fairgrounds Speedway Friday in round two of the Joe’s Garage Southern Tier Series.
The win is Pierce’s first of the season and fifth of his career. The No. 9k took the lead with seven to go over Jeff Trombley when the No. 3a blew up.
“I was okay, but Jeff was really good running the top,” said an excited Pierce in victory lane. “Unfortunately, our fortune was his misfortune.”
The one that got away came back to Pierce. The last time the series was at Afton in Oct. 2022, Pierce was leading in the final laps when he ran out of fuel. Coming back to I-88 to take the win means a lot to the fourth grade teacher at Spencer-Van Etten Elementary.
"Anytime we can win, or even in the top 10, that's a great day for us,” said Pierce. “To finally get a win is a way to start the summer months. Snack time Monday is going to be fun.”
Ron Greek and Jeff Trombley brought the field to Tyler Groescup’s green for 25 laps. Greek would lead early, but in the opening laps, Trombley took a peek underneath Greek and the top two tangled, sending Trombley into a sideways frenzy but found a way to save it and keep the race green.
Trombley would reel in the No. 28 again and take the lead, entering turn three.
The race would begin on a 15-lap green flag run until a red flag flew for Cliff Pierce, flipping in turn two. The No. 4 driver would climb out unscathed.
Restarting the race, Trombley held serve over Kyle Pierce and Mike Kiser. With Trombley pulling away, it seemed likely that the No. 3a would tie Danny Varin, Scott Goodrich, and Josh Pieniazek on the all-time CRSA wins list with 14 apiece. But with seven to go, the chances ended when the engine expired, giving Kyle Pierce the top spot.
The final caution flew for Mark Reynolds, stacking the field again. Pierce got a good jump over Kiser and kept the lead to score the checkered and bank $1,000.
"For the last couple of weeks and the work we've put in, from rebuilding after flipping hard at Land of Legends to chasing stuff at Weedsport," said Pierce. "Feels good to finally get the pressure off things not going right, and the money will help restock stuff we've wrecked already."
Kiser’s last podium came two years ago at this same track. The No. 99k takes away a bunch of positives with a great racecar making moves late.
“Once the red flag came out and the second caution, it didn’t help me,” said Kiser. “Once we got rolling, Pierce had us covered. It’s in one piece, and put it in the trailer. On to Utica."
Dalton Herrick won the previous race at Afton in Oct. 2022, en route to his series championship. The No. 29 came back with a solid third-place finish.
“We were a little behind, but I felt really good for the feature,” said Herrick. “The track was really smooth and was racey. I had a little bite off four and two. You could move around.”
With a sixth place finish, Jordan Hutton holds a 16 point lead over Tomy Moreau in the overall standings while Billy VanInwegen has a four points lead over Dalton Herrick in the Joe’s Garage Southern Tier Series standings with the top four (Hutton, Kyle Pierce) separated by six points.
The Maguire Family of Dealerships Move of the Race belonged to Jeff Trombley for his spectacular save after touching with Ron Greek, then rebounding to take the lead.
Billy VanInwegen was awarded the Powdertech Powdercoating Hard Charger Award for the second straight race, picking up seven spots to finish fourth.
26 drivers checked in to the Afton Fairgrounds Speedway.

Cale Thomas holds off Cap Henry for 2nd 410 Attica win; Kyle Moore wins thrilling late model affair; Jamie Miller dominates for 3rd 305 victory
Friday, May 31, 2024
By Brian Liskai
ATTICA, Ohio – Things are really falling into place for Cale Thomas. The Fairland, Indiana driver of the Jay Kiser Racing sprint car drove to his second straight 410 feature win at Attica Raceway Park Friday, May 31 on Burns Electric/Metal Master Fabrications/Vermeer Sales and Service Mid-Season Championship night.
Thomas’ four career victory at Attica pads his lead in the Callie’s Performance Products 410 Sprints Attica point standings and the All Pro Aluminum Cylinder Heads/Kistler Racing Products Attica Fremont Championship Series Presented by the Baumann Auto Group. It wasn’t easy for Thomas though as defending AFCS and Attica track champion Cap Henry grabbed the early lead of the non-stop, seven minute A-Main before Thomas drove by on lap three. Henry raced inside of Thomas lap after lap before heavy lapped traffic came into play at the half-way point. Thomas was able to slice through the lapped cars and pulled away for the victory in his Spanky’s Pizza, Shelluke’s Bar, Automatic Fire Protection, Ohio Refrigeration, Engler Machine, BH 41, Ohio Heating, TMH Holdings, Berryman Racing Shocks, Keizer Wheels backed #23.
“The track was really wide. You could go wherever you wanted. Being in the lead…I didn’t know where Cap was. I kept watching for him….I knew he was running the bottom and was hoping he wouldn’t go to the top. I saw him after the checkers so he was right there with me. Obvious this car was really good. You kind of base yourself….Cap’s been having a little bit of trouble so you get Cap with open air and to be able to pass him in open air just says a lot about me and this car right now and the confidence we have,” said Thomas.
Henry, Trey Jacobs, Zeth Sabo and DJ Foos would round out the top five.
The Whistle Stop Presents the Dirt Nerds Podcast Powered by Propane UMP Late Model feature was one of the most entertaining events of the year so far at Attica Raceway Park. JR Gentry jumped into the lead of the 25 lap feature before surrendering it to Kyle Moore on lap 12. Three-time feature winner this year at Attica Rusty Schlenk powered into the lead a lap later and the dual with Moore was on.
The event’s only caution flew just past the half-way point and from then out, Moore and Schlenk swapped the lead several times each lap. Moore, from Mansfield, Ohio, was able to edge Schlenk the final six laps to score his first career Attica win. Moore had finished second to Schlenk the past two consecutive weeks. Gregg Haskell, Dan Wallace and Gentry rounded out the top five.
“This is the longest it’s ever took me to win a race at a place. Usually we go to a place a couple of times and we knock a win off. I’ve done everything here but win. I’ve been kicked out, flipped, wrecked, blown motors…we finally got out here on the horse track. That’s what sucks being the leader in traffic…you just don’t know where to go. When you are in second or third you’ve got nothing to lose. I was out there searching. I love racing with Rusty. There’s very few people who race like him,” said Moore beside his Kepling Flooring, Tye Tworg Longhorn, Joyride Transportation, Smitley Towing, Short Stop, Malcuit Race Engines, Wilson Realty Agent Robin Jakubick, RL Bond Septic, Hepthorn Golf Cart Sales, House of Spud, K&B Septic Service, Coffman Composites, Team Midwest Paint, Platinum Design backed #1*
Fremont, Ohio’s Jamie Miller used a restart on lap 10 of the Fremont Fence 305 Sprint feature to drive into the lead around Brenden Torok and then ran away from the rest of the field, cruising to a half of a track advantage for his third win of the year at Attica. Torok, Dustin Stroup, Seth Schneider and Logan Riehl – who stormed from the rear of the field after being involved in an opening lap tangle – rounded out the top five.
Miller’s 42nd career Attica win pads his lead in the track points and the NAPA of Bryan Attica Fremont Championship Series Presented by Jason Dietsch Trailer Sales.
“I was so worried if I ran the top too hard…I hooked one of those holes on the second lap and I thought I was going to flip this thing. I just kind of tip-toed around waiting for someone to pass me. I just kept moving around and figured it out not to bounce around on the track and we ended up here,” said Miller beside his Boca Construction, JLH General Contractors, Kenny Kolb Farms, Tuck Pointing America, Queen of Clean, Smitty’s Pizza, Roberts & Sons Contracting, Pizza Wheel, Crown Battery, Reedtown Tavern, Fostoria Mod Shop, Sandy’s Dad, Gressman Powersports, Phil Rister, Slade Shock Technology backed #26.
Attica Raceway Park will kick off the 42nd Annual Ohio Sprint Speedweek – nine straight nights of racing across Ohio – on Friday, June 7 for the Bert and Brigitte Emick Classic featuring the Ti22 FAST on Dirt sprints going for $6,000 to win. The UMP late models will also be in action vying for $2,000 to win.

Carson Macedo returns to Fremont Speedway to claim World of Outlaws win
By Brian Liskai
FREMONT, OHIO – It was a homecoming of sorts for Carson Macedo Monday, May 27 at Fremont Speedway Presented by Gill Construction. The Lemoore, California native made a fantastic move on the opening lap of the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series feature, driving from third to the lead and then survived several cautions to score the $12,000 pay day in the Rick Ferkel Tribute on SealMaster Night.
Macedo came to Ohio in 2016 to drive a second car for Les and Craig Mintz and scored a pair of wins at “The Track That Action Built.” So for Macedo, the Outlaws return to Fremont Speedway after an eight year hiatus coupled with his great runs as of late, had him chomping at the bit for his second World of Outlaws win of 2024.
“Track position was everything tonight. The rain last night and this morning gave us a way different track than we are used to at Fremont. My guys had the car awesome all night. To come back here and win after Les and Craig Mintz gave me a great opportunity here in 2016 is very special,” said Macedo beside his Albaugh Your Alternative/Mesilla Valley Transportation/Tarleton & Son/Saich Family/Scott Boyd Family/Complete Parts backed Jason Johnson Racing #41.
Current World of Outlaws point leader David Gravel had several shots at Macedo but was unable to take advantage of the many cautions.
“The track stayed wetter than we anticipated and I got too tight in three and four. The 41 guys were really good tonight. All and all it was a pretty good weekend in Ohio,” said Gravel beside his Husets Speedway/Billion Auto.com/Jackson Autoplex/High Performance Lubricants backed #2.
Carson’s brother, Cole scored his first World of Outlaws podium finish, coming home third in the Honest Abe Roofing #16T.
“I have a lot of laps around here thanks to some great people in this area. I have to thank Kevin Newton for giving me this opportunity. We crashed Friday at Atomic and decided to truck to Fremont and my guys and the Linder guys got us back in business and it paid off tonight,” said Cole Macedo.
Bill Balog would charge from 18th to a fourth place finish while former Fremont Speedway track champion Buddy Kofoid rounded out the top five.

Kaeding, Ferriera and Olivier Triumphant at Huset's Speedway During Metro Construction Memorial Day Doubleheader Presented by DKW Transport Finale
Inside Line Promotions - BRANDON, S.D. (May 27, 2024) - Tim Kaeding, Monty Ferriera and Zach Olivier wrapped up the Metro Construction Memorial Day Doubleheader presented by DKW Transport with a trip into Victory Lane on Monday at Huset's Speedway.
It marks three new winners at the track this season for the third straight race to open the year.
Kaeding drew the pole position for the 25-lap Cressman Sanitation 410 Outlaw Sprint Cars main event and he never officially relinquished the top spot. The closest moment came on Lap 20 when Chase Randall threw a slide job into turns one and two for the lead, but the caution came out to halt the move. Kaeding rocketed away on the restart to score his 14 th career victory at Huset's Speedway.
"I've got two young kids behind me and I'm up here huffing and puffing," he quipped in Victory Lane. "This feels amazing right now. This hot rod is bad fast right now."
Randall finished second for the second time at the track this season.
"Sometimes (cautions) help you and sometimes they don't," he said. "Tonight it didn't work in our favor. I feel we're making huge gains in our car. I'm really proud of how far we've been coming and I'm really excited for the future."
Daison Pursley, who won the event opener on Sunday, recorded a third-place result.
"That's really cool to come out here and run on the podium both nights," he said. "It just goes to show how good the No. 25 car is. I'm very fortunate enough to drive this car and get my feet wet in a winged car."
Kaleb Johnson garnered a fourth-place finish and Garet Williamson was fifth for the second straight night.
Kaeding and Justin Henderson opened the program by setting quick time during their group qualifying sessions. Tim Estenson, Austin McCarl, Jade Hastings and Randall were the heat race winners. Stuart Snyder and Chris Martin each posted a B Main win.
Ferriera led all but one lap and he made a last-lap pass during the 20-lap Wyffels Hybrids RaceSaver Sprint Car Series main event for his first career triumph at the track.
Ferriera paced the field for the first 18 laps before Jeremy Kerzman powered into the lead in turns three and four to lead the penultimate lap. However, Ferriera returned the favor on the final lap to capture the win.
"I wasn't expecting anyone to be there and he snuck by me," Ferriera said. "He got stuck behind the same cars as I did. I drove around him as a last-ditch effort. I'm glad to get one under my belt here because this place has bit me a few times."
Kerzman held off 16th-starting Tyler Rabenberg, who was the B Main winner, for the runner-up result. Casey Abbas ran fourth and Amelia Eisenschenk earned a fifth-place result.
Ferriera, Kerzman, Jared Jansen, Brandon Halverson and Abbas won the heat races with Rabenberg and Gaige Weldon producing B Main victories.
Brett Martin held the top spot for the first nine laps of the 20-lap Nordstrom's Automotive Late Model Street Stocks feature before Olivier drove underneath him and into the lead in turns three and four on Lap 10. He then held off a charging J.J. Zebell, who hustled from 11 th to second, for his 21 st career win at the track.
"It's great to have a little luck tonight," Olivier said. "Starting position definitely helped tonight, but (I) still had to pass a couple of cars. Man, that car is a rocketship."
Martin rounded out the podium with Ron Howe placing fourth and Billy Prouty fifth.
Howe, Prouty and Zebell each won a heat race.
Next Sunday will be Heiman Fire Equipment Night at Huset's Speedway featuring the Cressman Sanitation 410 Outlaw Sprint Cars, Nordstrom's Automotive Late Model Street Stocks and the Wyffels Hybrids RaceSaver Sprint Car Series.

John Carroll Classic Win to Starks By - Kaleb Hart
5/25/24
Alger, WA - After a two week absence from the top step of the podium, Trey Starks returned to his winning ways on Saturday night at Skagit Speedway by winning the IRI / Follman Agency John Carroll Classic at Skagit Speedway.
The $5,000 to win John Carroll Classic feature for the Kartmart 410 Sprint Cars began with Robbie Price rocketing out to an early lead with Jesse Scholtfeldt in pursuit. An early caution for last week’s feature winner Landon Brooks brought the field to an early caution and on the subsequent restart, Schlotfeldt made a huge bid for the lead that resulted in his car flipping in turn four, ending his night. Price again set the pace on the restart with Colby Thornhill and Trey Starks following him until a lap 10 caution for three driver wreck slowed the field again. With the Skagit Speedway back straightaway restart in play, Thornhill tried a huge move to the low side of turn four that stuck on the restart, giving him the lead at the conclusion of lap 11. Robbie would also drop a spot to Starks and while trying to roll back forward, spun out on the bottom of turn two on lap 12 to draw another yellow flag. On the next back straightaway restart, it was Starks giving Thornhill a dose of his own medicine, barreling to the inside of corners three and four to take the lead. From there, it was Starks’ race to win as he rolled to victory lane. Jason Solwold and Justin Youngquist had a fantastic battle for second with Youngquist getting the better of Jason at the end. Schlotfeldt was the quick qualifier for the second straight week, while heat wins went to Brooks, Thornhill and Price.
The third week of racing for the Sportsman Sprints gave us our third different winner of the year. Jesson Jacobson pulled off a clean sweep of the night, setting quick time and winning his heat race before leading every lap of the main event unchallenged. Alden Ostrom collected his third podium finish of the year by running second and Chris Foster came home in third place for the second time on the year. Ostrom was the other heat race winner.
The NW Focus Midgets made their 2024 season debut at Skagit Speedway on Saturday night. Ashley Thompson led the first seven laps of the main event before losing the lead to Tanner Holm. Holm held the top spot until lap 18 when something went wrong mechanically on the car, forcing him to the pits. The lead transferred to Hannah Lindquist who had Alex Peck right on her tail. Peck looked for every path past Hannah, but in the end it was Lindquist getting her first win on dirt since a nasty wreck in Placerville in 2019 that cost her a year of her career. Peck would take second and it was Jared Peterson racing from 13th to third rounding out the podium. Heat wins went to Holm, Tyler Luce and Brian Holmkvist.

HUTTON DRIVES THROUGH TO TAKE SECOND WIN OF SEASON AT WEEDSPORT
By: Marty Czekala - May 27, 2024
WEEDSPORT, N.Y. – Jordan Hutton recorded his second win of the A-Verdi
Storage Containers CRSA Sprints at Weedsport to kick off the I-90 Pit Stop
Challenge.
It is the first time Hutton pushed onto Victory Hill and the 10th time he has won a CRSA feature, putting him in sole possession of eighth all-time.
"I remember I was a little kid watching the race with my uncle sitting in the
stands [at Weedsport]," said Hutton to DIRTVision post-race. "To win, especially
with a sprint car, is a dream come true."
Hutton took the lead with 11 to go when race leader Bobby Parrow had a
rear-end break and went up the track. The No. 66 made contact with the No. 80,
sending Hutton's front end off the ground for a split second.
"I saw my car pointed up at the sky with my foot on the brake," Hutton
explained. "I was trying to enter in and go above him in [turn one]. That was a
pucker-up moment right there."
Scott Landers and Steven Glover brought the field to green for the 25-lap
feature. Glover led the opening five laps, but under red flag conditions, Blake
Warner and Daryl Ruggles flipped and Glover leaked fuel, putting the No. 121's
night to an end.
Bobby Parrow eventually took the lead after he was scored second at the red
flag. With Hutton and Jeff Trombley breathing down his neck, the leader was
about to approach lapped traffic on lap 13 until a yellow for Alysha Bay with a
left front issue.
That would lead to pandemonium the following lap when Parrow's rear end broke
and Hutton contacted Parrow. Trombley would take the lead for a few seconds
before the yellow for Parrow, giving Hutton the lead.
"Air Jordan" would not look back as he won by 2.3s over Jeff Trombley.
However, the final three laps made Hutton nervous as he reported post-race that
his engine was expiring with no oil pressure and a hot temp.
"I knew on restarts I could push it and try in and settle with my motor,"
Hutton said. "Once I saw lapped traffic, I said, 'it's go time' and kept
watching the big screen to see where Trombley was and settle it and keep the
motor all right."
Jeff Trombley recorded his second straight top-five and is now second
all-time in top-fives with 54. A win tonight would've tied him with Danny Varin,
Scott Goodrich and Josh Pieniazek for all-time wins with 14.
"I was good on the longer run," Trombley said post-race. "I was good with
lapped traffic, but both times when we passed them, the yellow came out. Jordan
ran good, he had a great car."
Scott Landers finished third, his first podium since Aug. 2023 at Woodhull
and his third in his career. After winning his first heat race of the year, he
hoped his son Josh would draw a good number and a pole. His wish came true.
"We had a good run," Landers said. "I think we had a better car than a better
driver. We're happy with the finish and putting the car back in the trailer with
no issues."
Zach Sobotka was rewarded with the Maguire Family of Dealerships Magnificent
Move of the Race for his second eighth-place finish in two starts.
Billy VanInwegen was the Powdertech Powdercoating Hard Charger of the Race.
After having motor issues in his heat race, Billy V started 24th and finished
seventh, up 17 spots.
A series record 42 drivers checked in tonight at Weedsport, beating the 38
Land of Legends Raceway held last week.
Next weekend, CRSA has its first 2-in-2 at Afton Fairgrounds Speedway Friday
and Fonda Speedway Saturday, as part of the Joe's Garage Southern Tier Series
and I-90 Pit Stop Challenge, respectively.

West Burlington, IA, May 26, 2024 – Dustin Selvage made a deal with car owner

claimed his fifth career feature win with the series at 34 Raceway, which ties
him for tops all-time with Matt Rogerson, Jerrod Hull and Paul Nienhiser. The
win paid him $2,000, and ended Nienhiser’s bid for three wins in a row with the
series. It was the first win for Davies’ #99 car since 2020 at the same track
with Josh Schneiderman.
Allan Woods, on a brief holiday to the United States from his native
Queensland in Australia led early in the 25-lap main event, followed by Selvage,
Colton Fisher, Nienhiser and Ryan Jamison. Woods was into lapped traffic by lap
seven, but performed a 360 spin, sending him to the tail, and ending his good
run at that point.
Selvage inherited the lead, and took off well on the restart after a pair of
cautions for Chase Richards and Alex Vande Voort over Fisher, Nienhiser, Cody
Wehrle and Jamison. Soon, Tasker Phillips had jumped from seventh to fifth and
was threatening for fourth when he drove over the top of turns one and two,
losing several spots.
Up front, Selvage was back in traffic on lap 13 and Fisher was gaining on
him. Fisher had one shot before a final caution came out for a slowed Alan
Zoutte with just four laps to go. Selvage pulled away, followed by Fisher.
Wehrle grabbed third and Phillips came back to grab fourth from Nienhiser.
Bunton would also get by on the last lap claiming fifth. Nienhiser, Vande Voort,
back from the rear, Jamison, Tyler Lee and hard-charger Tanner Gebhardt rounded
out the top ten. Phillips, Jamison and Woods won heats, while Selvage won the
Dash.
“It was kind of the disadvantage of being the leader,” said Selvage about his
trip through traffic when Fisher drew near. “My pace slowed way up and I knew I
was going to see somebody, so it was time to get aggressive with the lappers.
When we first came down here with the Invaders, we got a lot of laps here. This
track, when it gets slick like this, it gets technical, and I’ve been doing this
20 years, so I’ve learned a thing or two about when to push it and when to relax
and let the race come to you. Jimmy’s kind of in between drivers, so he called
me this week, and I said absolutely. He and all his guys gave me a phenomenal
car all night long.”
“The car felt good,” said Fisher of his second place run in his family car.
“It was our first time out this year with the 11 car. We ran the same stuff last
year, so I knew what to go with. I have to thank Matt Kinney for giving me a
motor to run this next month while I wait for mine to get done. The track got
technical. You could run the curb or run a diamond through the middle. Once we
got to lapped traffic, we were moving well and could move around. I knew it was
going to get hairy when I saw cars two-wide. Selvage was getting choked up.
That’s when you wait for a hole to open up, or make your own hole.
Unfortunately, we had a yellow there that cost us another shot.”
“It was a great race,” said Wehrle. “That was exciting the whole way through.
You had to be ready to go and ready to cover anything at any point in time. I
needed a couple more cautions. The farther along it got, the better we were. I
want to thank all my guys for the hard work that they put in, and Andy (Huston)
for letting me do this.”
On Sunday, June 2, the Sprint Invaders join the Malvern Bank 360 Sprint
Series at the Stuart Speedway in Stuart, Iowa. For more information on the

Pursley, Vanderheiden and Yeigh Produce Wins at Huset's Speedway During Opening Night of Metro Construction Memorial Day Doubleheader Presented by DKW Transport
Inside Line Promotions - BRANDON, S.D. (May 26, 2024) - Daison Pursley, Cole Vanderheiden and Cory Yeigh constructed victorious performances on Sunday night at Huset's Speedway, which welcomed more than 100 entrants during the opening night of the Metro Construction Memorial Day Doubleheader presented by DKW Transport.
Pursley etched his name into the Cressman Sanitation 410 Outlaw Sprint Cars winner's list as he led all 25 laps for his first career triumph at the track.
"That was really, really fun there," he said. "Thankfully I drew the (number) one and that made my job a lot easier. I got lucky and started on the front row here tonight and was able to put 25 good laps together."
Five cautions in the first 14 laps mostly kept Pursley out of traffic, but the final dozen laps were without a caution. Pursley found traffic with eight laps remaining and Kerry Madsen was all over his bumper throughout the final five laps, but Pursley hit his marks effectively.
"I had a pretty good car," Madsen said. "It was good to have a good night."
Jade Hastings rounded out the podium with a third-place showing.
"It feels really good," he said. "A lot of heavy hitters here tonight. My goal was just to get a top five. I'm pretty dang happy."
Tim Kaeding hustled from 13 th to fourth and Garet Williamson posted a fifth-place result.
Madsen and Williamson both set quick time during their respective qualifying groups before Madsen, Aaron Reutzel, Austin McCarl and Justin Henderson recorded heat race wins. Carson McCarl and Mark Dobmeier were the B Main winners.
Logan Domagala paced the field for the first 11 laps of the 20-lap Wyffels Hybrids RaceSaver Sprint Car Series A Main before eighth-starting Vanderheiden made the race-winning pass in turns three and four on Lap 12 en route to his first career victory at Huset's Speedway.
"This is the best thing that's ever (happened) in my life," he said following an electric celebration. "This feels amazing.
"Starting in the back you have to be patient on the start. We found our way slowly and got to the front and I think I checked out."
Tyler Rabenberg advanced from seventh to score a second-place result. Domagala was third with Gaige Weldon ending fourth and Bayley Ballenger fifth.
The heat races were won by Domagala, Weldon, Brandon Bosma, Trefer Waller and Brandon Halverson. Nicholas Winter and Koby Werkmeister each captured a B Main.
Shaun Taylor led the first half of the 20-lap Nordstrom's Automotive Late Model Street Stocks main event before Yeigh made the outside work in turn four on Lap 11 to power into the top spot. Yeigh, who started fifth and had worked into the runner-up position before the lone caution on Lap 7, stayed out front for the final 10 laps to garner his 20 th career victory at the track.
"We had a lot of broken parts last week after I tried knocking down the wall," he quipped. "This will help pay for some of that.
"When I was a kid growing up I never thought I'd win one let alone 20."
Taylor finished second with J.J. Zebell placing third, Mike Chaney fourth and 14th-starting Tim Dann fifth.
Taylor, Chaney and Ron Howe were the heat race winners.
The Metro Construction Memorial Day Doubleheader presented by DKW Transport finale is Monday with the main gates opening at 5 p.m. and racing scheduled for 7:30 p.m. The Cressman Sanitation 410 Outlaw Sprint Cars, Nordstrom's Automotive Late Model Street Stocks and the Wyffels Hybrids RaceSaver Sprint Car Series will all be in action.

NEW AND FAMILIAR FACES FIND VICTORY LANE AT WAYNE COUNTY
Written By: William Burkhart
They say when life gives you lemons you squeeze them and make Lemonade. If that’s the case then we have ourselves a lemonade superstore. The tracks water pump used to fill the water truck had decided to quit working. A replacement pump was purchased and brought in and that pump would fail. A smaller pump would be used as track promoter Jason Flory was ready to take advantage of a beautiful day that mother nature gave us.
The Pine Tree Towing and Recovery sprint cars would be the first feature of the night. Local legend Lee Jacobs would lead the field with two-time feature winner this season Ricky Peterson to his outside. The first Bucks Auto Sales yellow flag would come out on lap 1 for the 3TN of Tyler Newhart going around. On the restart Lee Jacobs would rocket from the 2 of Peterson. On lap 8 the yellow would fly again as Tanner Tecco would spin collecting the 2 of Joe Adorjan. Tecco would unfortunately be done for the night. At lap 5 seventh place starter Jamie Myers would bring his Pine Tree Towing 1 car to life and make a charge to the 81 of Lee Jacobs. Myers almost had the lead until another spin would bring out a yellow flag at lap 6. At that time Jason Flory would get on the Radio and announce an open red to try and get some water back into turn number 2. WCS officials and drivers alike had shared a concern for the visibility in the turn. After a lengthy red flag Jacobs would lead the field back to the green once more. 12 laps to go Peterson would start reeling in the 81 of Jacobs. Lap traffic would work in Jacobs favor as he was able to put them behind his Dac Vitamins and Minerals 81 car and attempt to give him some open air. The yellow would fly again with 8 laps to go with Chris Myers spinning in turn number 2. At the restart Jacobs would fire first as Ricky Peterson would see some company in the form of the 91 of Tyler Gunn. Gunn and Peterson would throw down for second until one more yellow would fly with 2 to go. On the restart Jacobs hit his marks perfectly. 4 Cars would battle for second the last 2 laps. Lee Jacobs would take home the win and as the dust settled it was Tyler Gunn taking home second and Jamie Myers bringing home a 3rd.
The Malcuits Tavern UMP Late Models would hit the track next. This race would be a part of the Best Western Plus King of The County Points leader Kyler Moore would be on the pole with a very fast Larry Bellman on his outside. A yellow would fly for a car off the pace. We would line them back up for another restart. That restart would end up in a bit of chaos as everyone bumped into everyone. At the end of the mele Clint Coffman ended up on the nose of Dave Hornickel with Jason Henderson slid into the pair. Under the yellow Bellman had to change a tire unfortunately sending him to the tail. This would make the new front row Kyle Moore and JR Gentry. The track would finally see some green flag laps. Moore would burst out to lead as Gentry would follow suit. The battle for third would heat up between legend Ryan Markham and Michigan native Nick Kurtz. Lap 5 would see another Bucks auto sales Yellow with the 22 of Dylan Spears would spin around. 17 Laps to go Markham would clear Kurtz and make a run past Gentry to give Moore a run for his money. Moore would stick to his marks to continue leading the field. At the halfway mark the age-old battle of Markham and Gentry would begin as they would trade slide jobs for the second spot. All while Moore continues a Memorial Day drive. Chace Coffman would spin late in the feature to stack the field back up. That would allow Markham a chance to get past the 1* of Moore. Moore would continue to run his preferred top line to hold onto the lead. With 3 laps to go Gentry would once again charge to try and get passed the 5M of Markham to try and get one more position in the 25-lap feature. As Moore was coming to the white flag Nick Cox would spin in turn 2 to give us a late race restart. At the Restart Moore jumped to the lead once more and would bring the field back to the checkered to win his third WCS feature in a row. Markham second and Gentry third.
The Flynn’s Tire & Service Center UMP Modifieds took to the 3/8 Oval all be with a sprinkling of dust on their cars. New York native Daniel Sanchez would sit on the pole with previous feature winner Nate Young to his Outside. Field would take the green with Young getting an early lead. The first yellow flag would fly as Bradly Blaylock and Richard Grogg would loop their respective cars around. After a second yellow immediately after the first the racing would begin as Nate Young and Nick Sanchez had a great restart. As the field went into turn one 5th place start Mitchell Lam in the 12 car would charge into the party and make it a 3 car battle for the lead. Young would begin to drive away leaving Lam and Sanchez to duke it for second. Lap 3 would see another spin and another yellow. Back underway Lam would find some power and begin to battle with Nate Young up to a lap 4 yellow. The field would refire once more. Lap 7 would see Jimmy Humphrey and Vinnie DiPizzo battle for 5th. The yellow would fly again at lap 8. Lam would start throwing some Slide jobs at the halfway mark before another spin would bring the yellow back out. Lam tried again to get past the 42 of Young but was unsuccessful. Our old friend the Yellow Flag came back out on lap 11. On the restart the field would bump around causing Humphrey and Sanchez to collide keeping the track under yellow flag conditions. After a third straight Bucks Auto Sales yellow flag Officials decided to shorten the race down to a 15 lap race due to time constraints. Once the race got back underway Young would rocket off the start. Casey Buttler would bring his 99 car to life to make a move past the 12 of Lam. At the end of it all Nate Young came home on top. Case Buttler comes home second, and Mitchell Lam 3rd.
Next to do battle would be The Glass House Super Stocks. Kyle Moore would start on the pole in his Street Stock Debut with Previous Feature Winner Brandon Morrow to his outside. As the green flew it quickly became a battle between Moore and Morrow. Moore would run the Bob Daugherty owned 21D on the top side where he prefers it. 2 laps in Morrow would see some company in the form of Jim Nicley in the 72 before getting in the rough stuff on the bottom and spinning around to bring out a Bucks Auto Sales Yellow Flag. Morrow would try and make the bottom work in his C9 car and hang right with the 21D of Moore. Morrow would take the lead on lap 5 before Moore would steal it back 2 laps later. Morrow would try running every line he could to get past the 21D of Moore. His attempts would be unsuccessful as Moore would take the field all the way to the checkered flag with Morrow in second and Charlie Duncan would finish Third.
The time may had been getting late but that didn’t stop the adrenaline in the Joyride Transport Mini Stocks. Current second in points Doug Hensel would lead the field. Henel would be joined on the front row by Zach Hershey looking to extend a weekend of winning after getting the win at Hilltop the evening prior. Hensel would charge to the early lead as Anthony Collins would battle with Hershey for second. Collins would have second over Hershey for a couple of laps until Hershey would get by him on Lap 4. At lap 6, unknowingly to the rest of the field Hensel would experience suspension issues in the Right rear forcing Doug to start taking his 18 Machine a little easy. Harshey would real the 18 in with about 3 laps to go. Hershey took a look to the bottom of Hensel and would cruise by the 18 coming to the white flag. Hensel would stand on the loud pedal to try and get past the 278 even inciting a drag race to the finish but it would be Zach Hershey in Summit Racing Victory Lane. Hensel would come home second, and Cody Musselman would finish 3rd.
Wayne County is back in Action this Saturday as The Race To The Championship presented by O’Reilly’s Auto Parts hit the halfway mark. All 5 classes will race for double points in the mid-season championship. The Joyride Transport Mini Stocks will also have round one of their King Of The County presented by Henthorn Golf Cart Sales and Service.

WESTBROOK, MURDOCK, BEAGLE, AND RILEY TAKE OPENING NIGHT WINS AT OHSWEKEN
Article Credit: Brent Otchere
OHSWEKEN, Ont. (May 24, 2024) – Carrier Truck Centers & Bobcat of Brantford presented Trucker Night at the Races on Friday at Ohsweken Speedway; Dylan Westbrook, Steve Murdock, Ryan Beagle, Alex Riley took A-Main wins.
Kool Kidz-Corr/Pak 360 Sprint Cars
The front row of the grid featured Eric Gledhill and D.J. Christie to begin the
25 lap 360 Sprint Car A-Main. Gledhill led the first lap with Dylan Westbrook
nipping at his heels. Gledhill was holding off Westbrook until the caution came
out on lap five. Westbrook took advantage of the restart, quickly displacing
Gledhill as the leader.
Westbrook was setting blazing lap times and caught the back of the field by lap ten. Westbrook had lapped all the way to the eighth place car of Darren Dryden at the conclusion of the race. Rounding out the top five were Cory Turner, Ryan Turner, Christie, and Mike Bowman.
Strickland’s Crate Sprint Cars
Jeremy May started on pole with Travis Hofstetter next to him for the 20 lap
Crate Sprint Car A-Main. A red flag was thrown before the first lap could be
completed when Tyler Ward flipped on the back stretch. He was able to pull
himself out of the wrecked car unscathed.
The restart led to a second red flag when Larry Gledhill also flipped on the back stretch. The third restart was also cut short, this time due to Niko Hansen who spun to a stop on the entry of turn four. The fourth restart was successful and Murdock rocketed ahead, setting the pace at the front of the field. Murdock endured three more restarts later in the race and secured a well-earned victory. Brett Stratford and Lance Erskine worked themselves into second and third place respectively, while Jesse Costa finished fourth, and A.J. Lewis rounded out the top five.
Middleport Mechanical Thunder Stocks
Trevor DeBoer and Ryan Dinning brought the 26 car field to the green flag for
the 20 lap Thunder Stock A-Main. Ryan Beagle had a perfect start and took the
lead from his third starting position. Meanwhile, Mike Klanzinga put on an
engaging battle for second place against DeBoer as the two raced door-to-door.
Lap three came to a halt due to Gofast Teeple stopping in turn four. The final caution of the race came around on lap six. Beagle endured the restarts virtually unchallenged throughout the entire race and started off his Ohsweken season with a victory. Joining Beagle in the top five were Klazinga, Dinning, Dave Bailey, and DeBoer.
HRW Automotive Mini Stocks
Tim DeBoer started on pole alongside Tristan DaSilva to take the green flag for
the 15 lap Mini Stock A-Main. The Mini Stock division was the first feature race
of the night, with some drivers still shaking off the rust as a caution came out
on lap one. Ken Hair became the race leader after executing the restart
perfectly, but a succession of cautions followed.
Tim DeBoer, Hair, and Alex Riley each took their turn in the lead when the green flag reappeared. Riley edged out enough to lead the final lap, taking the victory and all the opening night glory for himself. Settling for the top five were Hair, Gillian Hils, Tim DeBoer, and Dusty DeBoer.

Jerald Harris Sweeps Natural Bridge Night
On the first hot humid night of the season Jerald Harris was on a hot streak
sweeping his heat and feature for his second win of the year. Heats started the
night with Jerald Harris and Chris Humblet taking those then off to the main.
Jerald Harris and Matthew Leach paced the field to green and Harris was out
first with Leach, Chris Humblet and John Scarborough in tow. On lap two Leach
spun in turn two to reload the field and Harris took off again with Humblet and
Scarborough racing for second but on lap five Leach and John Smith got together
ending the night for both. Harris took off with Humblet and Scarborough right
with him Dylan Shatzer and Caleb Harris were racing for fourth. Scarborough got
by Humblet and was using the low line to close in on Harris that liked the
higher line. Shatzer got by Humblet to get to third as the laps were clicking
off fast. Traffic came in to play as the race was winding down and Scarborough
was not going away as Harris was making the right moves to stay out front. With
two to go Harris was able to put a car between them and sped to the waving
checkered flag for his second win of the year. At the line it was Jerald Harris,
John Scarborough, Dylan Shatzer, Chris Humblet, Daren Bolac, Caleb Harris, Matt
Mullins, Jimmy Humblet, Chris Ware, Aaron Leach, John Smith, Matthew Leach and
French Grimes. The VSS will next be on track at Hagerstown Speedway on Fathers

Starting on the Pinnacle Pole alongside Chris Hile, Varin jumped out to an early lead. Hile followed Varin in second for the majority of the first 10 laps, before 4th place starting Shawn Donath moved into the top 3 on lap 11.
While Donath, Hile, and Jason Barney were busy battling at the front of the field, however, Larry Wight and Chad Phelps were each working on an impressive run from deep in the field. Starting 7th, Wight fell back as far as 10th in the opening laps before picking his way through the field. By lap 11, Wight had cracked the top 5, and moved into third just a few short laps later on lap 15.
Phelps had started 21st, and by lap 8 had passed 11 cars to break into 10th. The following four laps, Phelps moved by four more cars and found himself in 6th place.
Meanwhile at the front of the field, Varin was still in command, closely followed by Shawn Donath who had worked his way into the second position, and Larry Wight. With four laps to go, Wight moved past Donath to take second.
As the field crossed the line, it was Varin who got there first, followed by Larry Wight and Shawn Donath rounding out the Ashley Lynn Winery podium. Jason Barney finished fourth, and Chad Phelps rounded out the top 5. Phelps’ run from 21st to 5th was good enough to earn him the A-Verdi Storage Containers hard charger award.
35 cars signed into the pits on A-Verdi Storage containers night at the Brewerton Speedway. The field was split into four hot lap / qualifying groups, with Jordan Poirier, Shawn Donath, Dylan Swiernik and Danny Varin earning Rifenburg Contracting fast time awards in each. E&V Energy heat wins were scored by Jordan Poirier, Jason Barney, Dylan Swiernik and Danny Varin. The Cobra Coaches Dash presented by J&Z Snowdrifters was won by Tyler Rand, while Chad Phelps won the Lacaillade Masonry B-Main.
The next scheduled event for the Empire Super Sprints is Friday June 7th at the Ransomville Speedway in Ransomville, NY, followed by a trip to the Freedom Motorsports Park in Delevan, NY the following night, June 8.

DeVault "doubles down" in 410 sprints at Fremont; Miller and Weaver split 305 features; Miller and Keegan split truck wins
By Brian Liskai
FREMONT, Ohio – Zane DeVault “doubled down” at Fremont Speedway Presented by Gill Construction Saturday, May 25. The Plymouth, Indiana driver won both 20-lap 410 sprint features on Murphy Tractor and Equipment Night to claim the bonus for a total pay day of $5,000 at “The Track That Action Built.”
DeVault, aboard the Lane Racing #4, took the lead in the first Fort Ball Pizza Palace 410 Sprint feature from Brandon Spithaler on lap two and held off a late race challenge from Cole Macedo in lapped traffic to score his first ever Fremont win.
In the second feature DeVault grabbed the lead at the drop of the green and hit his marks perfectly every lap on the bottom to head once again to Beaverdam Fleet Services Victory Lane.
“I’ve been trying to get a win here for awhile and to put that four car back in victory lane…this is like their (the Lane family) second home. We thought about putting new tires on after that first feature but my guys grooved and siped the old set and they were perfect,” said DeVault beside his Islander Inn of Put-In-Bay, Premier Planning Services, Deshler Lanes, Wyatt Performance, Lead Head Water Fowl, Pro Auto Wraps, Kistler Engines, Kistler Racing Products backed machine.
After opening the Double Down night of racing at Fremont with his third win of the season in the Burmeister Trophy Dirt Trucks in the first of two features, Fremont, Ohio’s Jamie Miller followed up with his second win of the year in the Fremont Federal Credit Union 305 Sprints. Miller’s 49th career Fremont win was easy as Paul Weaver lead the first 12 laps of the 20-lap affair before Miller drove around the high line to take the lead. He had to survive two late race cautions for the victory
“The turn two cushion was pretty tricky and I almost gave that away,” said Miller of his Boca Construction, JLH General Contractors, Kenny Kolb Farms, Tuck Pointing America, Queen of Clean, Smitty’s Pizza, Roberts & Sons Contracting, Pizza Wheel, Crown Battery, Reedtown Tavern, Fostoria Mod Shop, Sandy’s Dad, Gressman Powersports, Phil Rister, Slade Shock Technology backed sprint car.
In the first dirt truck feature Miller utilized the high line to pass Dave Golembiewski on the white flag lap and held on for the victory. Miller nearly made it three feature wins in one night – a feat he has accomplished before at Fremont, having won a 305 sprint, a dirt truck and a late model feature win all on the same night at the track a few years ago.
Miller lead the first half of the second truck feature before Dustin Keegan, a former truck track champion, slipped by on the outside. Miller rebounded and was side by side with Keegan coming to the white flag but a caution negated the move. Keegan held off Miller to score his 10th career Fremont win.
“I knew if I didn’t screw up on that last restart I’d be okay. It’s been awhile since we got a win here and this feels great,” said Keegan beside his Sonny’s Signs, Burmeister Trophy, Jeff Ward Demolition backed #17X.
In the second 305 sprint feature, Paul Weaver, who finished second to Miller in the first main event and is a five time and defending Fremont Speedway division champion, Weaver took the lead from Miller on lap two and expertly sliced through traffic to score his 79th career Fremont Speedway win, more than anyone in the history of the track.
“We’ve had terrible luck to start the year with engine gremlins and other stupid stuff happening. Thanks to Bob Hampshire we got the motor figured out and we’re going strong again,” said Weaver beside his Steve Brown’s B&B Drain Service, Hampshire Racing Engines, M&L Excavating, Seagate Sandblasting backed #1W.

Schlenk dominates Valvoline American Late Model Iron Man Series at Attica; Thomas bags 410 sprint win; Stroup doubles up in 305s
Saturday, May 25, 2024
By Brian Liskai
ATTICA, Ohio – A week ago Rusty Schlenk crashed while leading at another track, bending his late model frame. His crew went to work this week and the results was spectacular Friday, May 24 at Attica Raceway Park on Venture Visionary Partners/Norwalk Concrete/Etna Supply/RPM Performance Parts Night.
The McClure, Ohio driver took the lead at Attica Friday on lap four of the Valvoline American Late Model Iron Man Series first ever series race, and dominated for the $5,000 pay day. Schlenk lapped up to the sixth place car in the feature and had a nearly seven second lead when he took the checkers for his 41st career win at Attica. The victory in the non-stop 40-lap feature is the third on the season for Schlenk at Attica with Kyle Moore edging out Seth Daniels for second and Ryan Missler and Rod Conley rounding out the top five.
“Man I was nervous all week long. I had a half-track lead on everybody last week at Oakshade and a lapped car spun out in front of me and I hit him wide open and bent the front clip and I’ve been nervous ever since. I didn’t know if this thing would go around the race track again but I think it goes around even better,” said Schlenk of his Buckeye Concrete Coatings, Terry Henricks Auto Group, Velocita USA, Dominator Race Products, Tom Finch Auto, Domination Race Cars, All Star Performance backed #91.
Fairland, Indiana driver Cale Thomas led all 30 laps of the Callie’s Performance Products 410 Sprints feature for his first win of the year at Attica in a race that saw only one caution. Thomas, who leads the track’s points, made some great moves, particularly coming off the top side of the track early then patiently picking through traffic for his third career win at Attica, holding off a charging Jordan Ryan, Trey Jacobs (from 11th), Stuart Brubaker and Tyler Gunn.
“I ran the top because I thought the cushion was pretty good. I kept seeing someone out of the corner of my eye and I know how you are supposed to get around the top here and I just didn’t feel very good so I decided just to make them go around me. I could tell just how the moisture was coming back on the bottom and if you got out of it it was very slick. I just had to stay in position behind the lapped cars and just pounce on them whenever they make a mistake. I feel like I’ve good have had a couple of these here by now….finally got one,” said Thomas of his Spanky’s Pizza, Shelluke’s Bar, Automatic Fire Protection; Ohio Refrigeration, Engler Machine, BH 41, TMH Holdings, Berryman Racing Shocks, Keizer Wheels backed #23.
Fremont, Ohio’s Dustin Stroup had quite the night at Attica Raceway Park. After crashing the previous Saturday at Fremont, Stroup’s crew put together a car they call “Faith,” and faith took Stroup to victory lane twice in one night.
Stroup took the lead from Jimmy McGrath on lap six and drove to the win in the make-up Fremont Fence 305 Sprint feature from May 3 over Seth Schneider, Jamie Miller, McGrath and John Ivy. In the night’s regular 305 sprint feature Brenden Torok led the first seven laps before Miller took over. Stroup drove into the lead on lap 12 and pulled away for his second win of the night and the seventh of his career at Attica with Miller, Bryan Sebetto, Schneider and Torok rounding out the top five.
“I almost went home. I had a panic attack down in the pits earlier and we almost went home. I’m really glad we stuck around,” said Stroup. “Big thanks to my crew for all their work this week and all the sponsors that help us get here like Sulfur Town Pub, BSE Welding, Meru Safety, Velocity Print, The Pizza House, Sunrise Designs, Momma Dukes from Shelluke’s Bar and Grill, GCE LLC, Handy Grafix, Mitten Painting, Myers Racing Engines, Rohr Total Lawn Care, Eye Candy Custom Cycles, DJ Johnson & Family, GWH, Advance Auto Parts, and Berryman Racing Shocks.”
Attica Raceway Park will be in action Friday, May 31 for Mid-Season Championship Night with double points on the line for the Callie’s Performance Products 410 Sprints, Whistle Stop Presents the Dirt Nerds Podcast Powered by Propane UMP Late Models and the Fremont Fence 305 Sprints.

Brooks Dominates Karmart 410 Sprint Car Main
5/18/24
By - Kaleb Hart
Alger, WA - One week after running second in his Skagit Speedway debut, Landon Brooks dominated the Karmart 410 Sprint Car field for his first win at the track.
Starting on the outside of the front row, Brooks got the early drop on Jason Solwold and would keep the veteran at bay over the first few laps despite multiple restarts in the early going. Once the race got some legs under it after a lap four restart, Brooks checked out, owning a half track advantage on the field and lapping up to fifth place as he took the Shannon & Cheri Wheatley owned car to victory lane ahead of Robbie Price and defending track champion Trey Starks. This marks the third different winner in three weeks of Karmart 410 Sprint Car action. Jesse Schlotfeldt was fast time. Solwold, Price and Brooks won the heat races.
Kai Dixon won his first main event in a clean sweep of the night in the Sportsman Sprints. While Dixon ran away from the field, the story was the battle for second, with the debuting Levi Hillier chasing opening week feature winner Alden Ostrom all over the track in looking for a path past him. A late race restart saw Hillier take to the high side to clear Ostrom in a battle that thrilled the crowd and made for a final podium of Dixon, Hillier and Ostrom. Dixon set fast time and won his heat while Ostrom won heat two.
Brian Michelson stopped the run of first time winners on the night, as the veteran led the final two laps of the Hornet main for the win. Michelson led Colin Sims and first time podium visitor William Zottneck to the final finish. Brian had a fantastic night on the whole, pulling off a clean sweep of his own with fast time and a heat race win. Steve Peters drove The Battlewagon to a win in heat number two.

Bob Felmlee was untouchable in the Krill Recycling LLC 410 Sprint Cars. Also getting their first triumphs of the season were Tim Bish in the Hovis Auto & Truck Supply Pro Stocks and Dillon Morrison in the 4 Your Car Connection Mini Stocks.
The first feature to hit the track was the twenty lapper for the 21st Century Energy Group 358 Modifieds.
Rick Regalski and Nick Joy were making their first starts of the 2024 season from the front row. Mark Sevin and Logan Lockhart were next in line. Jessica Kriegisch and Ron Cartwright were matched in row three. The fourth belonged to Jimmy Holden and Steve Slater. Last week’s winner, Chad Reitz, and Kole Holden made up row five. The sixth consisted of Don Cornelius and Hayden Holden.
Regalski opened up a modest lead over Joy, Kriegisch, Cartwright, and Lockhart on the opening lap. Regalski started to separate himself over the course of the first five or six laps. However, a caution on the sixth round of the big half mile eliminated Green and Sevin.
Regalski held control after the pair of restarts that were required to get the next round into the books. Joy continued in second, followed by Cartwright, Reitz and Kole Holden. Reitz was on the move when the race
Joy bought out cautions on laps fourteen and sixteen. Between those interludes, Reitz moved into the lead. He dipped to the inside to pass Regalski entering turn three.
Reitz complete the final four laps without incident. Regalski remained strong in second, ahead of Slater, Jimmy Holden, and Cartwright. The next five to cross the line were Kole Holden, Hayden Holden, Ryan Guthrie, Lockhart, and Jeremy Beichener.
Regalski’s car failed post-race tech, resulting in his disqualification. Brayden Beatty was moved up into the top ten.
Heat wins were scored by Slater, Kriegisch, and Reitz. There was no B Main.
In the Krill Recycling LLC 410 Sprint Cars, Logan McCandless and Bob Felmlee brought the field to the green for the start of the twenty-five lapper. Gale Ruth, Jr., and Brandon Matus were right behind. Matt Farnham and Jack Sodeman, Jr. presented in row three. The fourth consisted of last week’s winner, A.J. Flick, and Jeremy “Hollywood” Weaver. In row five, Zane DeVault and Mike Michael “the Professor” Bauer. John Jerich and Andy Cavanaugh paired up in row six.
Felmlee won the race to turn pone and he dropped to the inside to secure the lead. McCandless settled into second, ahead of Ruth, Brandon Matus, and Flick. Felmlee set a brisk pace, and there were no significant changes in the running order through the first ten laps.
On lap eleven, Tommy Jasen brought out a caution that brought Felmlee and McCandless back to the rest of the field. Felmlee held control once again.
On lap seventeen, Farnham stopped in turn four to drop from the top ten.
Six more rounds were completed before the final stoppage, on lap twenty-three.
Felmlee kept his car straight and completed the final two laps ahead of McCandless, Brandin Matus, DeVault, and Ruth. Sodeman, Flick, Weaver, Bayer, and Brent Matus completed the top ten.
The trio of heat winners were Ruth, DeVault, and Weaver. There was no B Main.
In the Hovis Auto & Truck Supply Pro Stocks, Tommy Dembowski and Matt Bernard led the way to the green. Doug Iorio, II, and Mike Miller had row two covered, while Tim Bish and Rod Laskey made up row three. The fourth duo was Pat Fielding and Josh Seippel. Following them were Aaron Smith and Jason Kimmy.
The early portion of the Pro Stock main was a three-car breakaway consisting of Dembowski, Iorio, and Bish. With Dembowski out front, Iorio and Bish were fighting intensely for the second position. Bish eventually took control of it before a caution realigned the field.
In the second half of the contest, Bish moved to the front of the line. Iorio faded and Dembowski dropped out.
Laskey came on for second, ahead of Fielding, last week’s winner, Chris Schneider, and Mike Miller. Seippel, Iorio, Bernard, Coyne, and Charlie McMillen rounded out the top ten.
Bish and Fielding shared the glory for the heat race wins. There was no B Main.
Dillon Morrison and Mike Kelley headed the field for the 4 Your Car Connection Mini Stocks. Justin Forsythe and Tim Callahan were in the second row, ahead of Bill Fuchs and last week’s winner, Matt Urey. Ben Aley and Dillon Thorne held the fourth row.
Morrison bolted out to the lead in the twelve lapper, just as he did on opening night. Urey worked into second once again, but, this time, he was unable to chase down Morrison.
Joe Campbell came home in third, ahead of Forsythe and Aley. Chad Greeley, Matt Daugherty, Bill McCollums, Thorne, and Callahan completed the top ten.
The pair of heats went to Urey and Callahan. There was no B Main.
The Old Skool Kool Tour brought over a dozen assorted vintage race cars to Tri City Raceway Park. A pair of twelve lap features were contested.

Nimee endures to edge Plymouth IRA field
Curfew claims 360 Sprint Car main, Hensley earns first Wingless win
(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS)May 18, 2024 –On a night that resembled more of a
marathon than a sprint, an accomplished veteran added another main event triumph
to his resume, a young up-and-comer collected his first career A-main victory
and curfew cut the final scheduled A main in the Spring Sprintacular all-Sprint
Car racing program at The Plymouth Dirt Track in Plymouth, Wis. on Saturday, May
18.
In the 25-lap Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car
Series A main, Blake Nimee of Oswego, Ill. notched his first main event victory
of the 2024 season.
Tate Hensley of Trevor made his maiden victory lane visit in the 15-lap
Autometer Wisconsin wingLESS A main.
Following multiple rounds of track work throughout the racing program, both
completed main events were shortened by five laps in an attempt to get each of
the three A mains in before the city of Plymouth’s 11 p.m. curfew.
However, the Akright Auto Plymouth Dirt Track Racing – Midwest Sprint Car
Association 360 Sprint Car main event fell victim to the city of Plymouth’s 11
p.m. curfew. All points and payout for the 360 Sprint Car portion of the program
were distributed evenly through the 25-car field.
The initial start of thetime-shortened 25-lap IRA 410 Sprint Car A main was
aborted when Tyler Tischendorf of Waupaca drew a red flag after his machine
flipped turn one.
When the green flag was displayed to the field, Nimee bolted into the lead from
his outside front row starting position while two-time IRA champion Scotty
Neitzel of Beaver Dam slipped into second after starting on the pole.
IRA points leader Scotty Thiel of Sheboygan spun turn in two on lap 2 to slow
the racing action for the second time. Following back-to-back cautions on lap 3
when 2022 IRA champion Jordan Goldesberry stopped in turn two and IRA rookie
competitor Tyler Rankin of Coldwater, Mich. slowed in turn two, Nimee controlled
the ensuing restart with Neitzel in tow.
By lap 8, the leaders caught the rear of the field and began to dice their way
through slower traffic on the ultra-tacky and undulating track surface.
Two laps later, Neitzel closed the gap on Nimee in lapped traffic, before the
fifth caution flag of the race appeared when Scott Bietzer of West Bend stopped
in turn two on lap 14.
The final 11 laps were contested at a break-neck pace on the fast and narrow
racingsurface with Nimee again locking down the lead and Neitzel giving chase,
while two-time IRA champ Jake Blackhurst of Hanna City, Ill., who started fourth
held down the third position in the running order.
Shortly after the leaders took the checkered flag, the remainder of the final
lap was halted when Scotty Thiel, who had worked his way into the top 10 after
restarting at the rear of the field on lap 2, flipped in turn four to produce
the sixth and final red flag of the A main.
Nimee held on to notch his seventh career IRA 410 Sprint Car Series A-main
victory, while Neitzel had to settle for second. Blackhurst placed third,
followed by sixth starter Mike Reinke of Howards Grove in fourth and third
starter Max Guilford of Auckland, New Zealand rounding out the top five.
The shortened 15-lap Wisconsin wingLESS Sprint Car Series A main got off to a
timid start when Tyler Kuxhouse of Antioch, Ill. stopped in turn three after
contact along the back stretch.
On the ensuing restart, a multi-car incident in turn three, which yielded a pair
of flips, prompted the first red flag of the race.
With 17 of the scheduled 22 cars still on the track, Hensley, who started on the
pole, powered away from third starter John Fahl of Brown Deer when the race took
the green flag. Fahl used the inside lane to challenge for the top spot starting
on lap 2 and continued to intermittently battle back and forth with Hensley for
the leadover the next 12 circuits.
After Hensley and Fahl finished lap 13 in a near-dead heat for the lead, Hensley
maintained the top spot before Miles Doherty of Delmar, Iowa spun in turn four
on lap 13.Over the final two laps, Hensley secured the lead position with Fahl
trailing in second.
Hensley cruised the rest of the way to earn his first Wisconsin wingLESS Sprint
Car A-main victory of his young racing career.
Fahl placed second, Furseth wound up third from the fifth starting spot, sixth
starter Ryan Marshall of Kansasville placed fourthand Jimmy Sivia of Winthrop
Harber, Ill. placed fifth after starting ninth.
Todd King of Sheboygan Falls was victorious in the 10-lap IRA 410 Sprint Car
Series B main.
Jake Blackhurst notched the overall fast qualifier award inIRA 410 Sprint Car
Series qualifying with a fast lap of 11.563 seconds.
T.J. Haddy of Waupun claimed thefast time in PDTR-MSA 360 Sprint Car
hot-lap-group qualifying in 12.557 seconds.
Tyler Kuxhouseearned fast qualifier honors in the Wisconsin wingLESS Sprint Car
hot lap-qualifying session in a Wingless Sprint Car new track record time of
13.719 seconds.

Service, attracted79total entries, including32 IRA 410 Sprint Cars,

Austin Reed was not going to be caught as the laps were winding down as Bittner made his way to second and Heffner third with Josh Spicer and Duke were racing for fourth but coming to two to go in turn three it went all went wrong getting together with a lapped car and Reed going out of the park. EMT’s quickly made their way to help Reed out and he was taken to a local hospital to get checked out for safety purposes and a hand injury being released later that night thankfully. Bittner took up the lead for the quick run to the checkers and stayed there with Kenny Heffner second and Josh Spicer getting third.

Drueke, Ballenger and Gough Capture Opening-Night Victories at Huset's Speedway During Spartan ER Night
Inside Line Promotions - BRANDON, S.D. (May 19, 2024) - Tyler Drueke, Dusty Ballenger and Brylee Gough kicked off the Huset's Speedway season with winning performances on Sunday during Spartan ER Night.
Drueke executed a pair of passes in the final three laps to drive from the bottom step of the podium to the top as he earned his first career Cressman Sanitation 410 Outlaw Sprint Cars victory at Huset's Speedway.
"I knew the rubber was coming in pretty hard," he said. "I kept trying to cheat it and clean it off underneath those guys to try to catch them sleeping. I looked up about five to go when I was catching (Christopher) Thram and I thought it was time to push. You have to take those chances when you get them because you never know when they'll come around."
Thram led the first 11 laps before a wild moment in traffic allowed Chase Randall to maneuver into the lead down the backstretch on Lap 12. Thram threw a pair of slide jobs at Randall in turns one and two and in turns three and four on a restart on Lap 17, but Randall was able to quickly power back into the lead each time.
With Randall riding out front with a comfortable lead, Drueke found the track cleaning off in a lower lane than most drivers. He picked his way into third place in the waning laps before passing Thram for second place in turns three and four on Lap 23. Drueke delivered the same move in the same corners on Randall one lap later before he pulled away on the last lap for the special win.
"We've tried so long," he said. "This is a tough place to win. These guys are really good. I'm just thankful."
Randall finished in the second position.
"It's tough losing to someone like that, with a little to go," he said. "I was really proud how we were in the feature."
Kaleb Johnson garnered the Hard Charger Award after driving from 12 th to third.
"I knew I'd have to battle it out the first 10 laps with a tight car and the car really came to me," he said. "Congrats to Tyler. He found the rubber a lane lower than everybody else."
Thram placed fourth and Jade Hastings rounded out the top five.
Luke Nellis set quick time during qualifying before Dusty Zomer, Sam Henderson, Matt Juhl and Thram each won a heat race. The B Main was captured by Blaine Stegenga.
Ballenger dominated the 20-lap Wyffels Hybrids RaceSaver Sprint Car Series A Main to earn his 31 st career win - the ninth in the division - at the track.
"We were lucky enough to draw the front row and get out there and conserve tires," he said. "I set kind of a slow pace. I knew it'd be 20 laps of tire conservation and we got it done."
Koby Werkmeister held off Nick Barger for the runner-up position with Jacob Peterson ending fourth and Brady Donnohue fifth.
Cole Vanderheiden, Jack Thomas, Ballenger and Werkmeister were the heat race winners. The B Mains were won by Michalob Voeltz and Brandon Bosma.
Gough led all 18 laps to garner his first-career win at Huset's Speedway during the Nordstrom's Automotive Late Model Street Stocks main event.
"It's a good way to start the year out here," he said. "This is awesome. It's been a couple of years, but this is an awesome way to come back. My only thought was to hold that bottom strong."
Gough led the distance, but was tested closely throughout the entire race. It was J.J. Zebell challenging early before the two made contact entering turn one on a restart on Lap 5, spinning Gough. He regained the lead for the restart and Zebell went to the back before pulling off the track soon after with apparent car problems. Tim Dann inherited the runner-up position and stayed within striking distance of Gough for the remainder of the race, which featured a green-white-checkered finish.
Dann ended second with Matt Steuerwald advancing to third. Zach Olivier hustled from 15 th to fourth and Tracy Halouska charged from 17 th to fifth.
The heat races were won by Cory Yeigh, Steuerwald and Zebell.
A doubleheader is on tap at Huset's Speedway during Memorial Day Weekend with races on Sunday and Monday for Metro Construction Night presented by DKW Transport. Both nights will feature the Cressman Sanitation 410 Outlaw Sprint Cars, the Nordstrom's Automotive Late Model Street Stocks and the Wyffels Hybrids RaceSaver Sprint Car Series.

Duncan FAST at Florence, Lewis the BOSS
The Ti22 Performance FAST On Dirt winged 410 sprint cars and the MPD Racing Buckeye Outlaw Sprint Series are the dynamic duo of the sprint car world. Rarely do you see both wing and traditional wingless 410 sprint cars come from the same camp, but last night at Florence Speedway in Kentucky, they put on a show together..... and it was one for the history books.
A great field of 28 FAST winged drivers representing 9 different states signed in for competition. On the traditional wingless side, 19 BOSS drivers representing 5 different states registered to race.
The FAST On Dirt action got off to an electrifying start when North Port, Florida's Danny Sams III broke a 20-year-old track record. Sams was the very first car out to qualify and laid down a 13.453 second lap to pace ARP Fasteners qualifying. Karter Sarff and Cole Duncan led the way in groups 2 and three. Heat races were won by Skylar Gee, Sterling Cling and Bobby Elliott. Marysville, Ohio's Jake Hesson won a tough B-Main event.
In preliminary action on the BOSS side, Ricky Lewis laid down quick time at 16.670 besting second quickest Kyle Shipley by .089 seconds. Jesse Vermillion and Nick Bilbee were the quick timers in groups 2 and 3. Heat race winners were Lewis, Jesse Vermillion and Dustin Ingle.
The 25 lap BOSS main event would run first with Blake Vermillion and Dustin Ingle on the front row with Rylan Gray and Jesse Vermillion in row 2. Dustin Webber and Lewis rolled off from row 3. Greenfield, Indiana's Rylan Gray rocketed to the early lead and led until the only race caution on lap 8 when Steve Little slowed in turn 1.
Back under green, Gray continued to show the way with Lewis up into the runner-up spot. The Oxnard, California native and defending tour champion stayed committed to the high line and he and Gray battled for the top spot. Meanwhile, twelfth starting Korbyn Hayslett was on the charge, blasting past car after car. Lewis was finally able to dispatch of Gray on lap 12 and motored away to the win. Hayslett was able to get all the way up to second with Jesse Vermillion completing the podium. Gray wound up fourth with Ingle fifth. Completing the top 10 were Kyle Shipley, Carmen Perigo, Blake Vermillion, Ryan Barr and Nick Bilbee.
After a 25-lap main event with only one brief yellow from BOSS, the FAST On Dirt drivers collectively said "hold my methanol" and reeled off 30 consecutive green flag laps. The caution free main event began with new track record holder Danny Sams on the pole with Sterling Cling alongside. Cole Duncan, the 2019 FAST titlist, rolled off third with Karter Sarff fourth. Skylar Gee and tour young-gun Bobby Elliott starting from sixth.
Sams would grab the early race lead but Duncan wasted no time in getting into the runner-up spot. The lead pair put on quite a classic duel with Duncan wrestling the lead away for good near the halfway point. Over the last half of the race, Duncan pulled away to a tremendous advantage, winning by a 7.205 second advantage over Sams. Fifth starting Skylar Gee completed the podium with ninth starting Justin Clark up for fourth. Tour point leader, Zane DeVault, completed the top 5. Brandon Spithaler, Karter Sarff, Sterling Cling, Jake Hesson and Brandon Wimmer completed the top 10.

LOGAN MITCHELL SCORES COVETED HOME TRACK VICTORY WITH OCEAN SPEEDWAY WIN
WATSONVILLE, CALIFORNIA (May 18, 2024) – 2023 Western Midget Racing runner-up
Logan Mitchell of Santa Cruz scored a coveted home track win on Friday night,
taking the 20-lap feature at Watsonville’s Ocean Speedway. Mitchell had
previously scored three second place finishes at the quarter-mile dirt track at
the Santa Cruz County Fairgrounds. The win is his second of the season and
thrusts him into the championship points lead heading into Saturday night’s
co-sanction with BCRA for the Tom Manning Memorial at Petaluma Speedway.
“Man I’m going to get emotional right now. I’ve been going here as a fan
since I was a little baby. To win here finally with a bunch friends and fans and
family – what a better way to get our first Ocean win,” Mitchell said.
Delano’s Terry Nichols and Mitchell starred in a thrilling heat race to kick
off the night, with Nichols crossing over Mitchell to win the eight-lap contest.
The heat race result was inverted by four for the main event lineup, slotting
Boscacci Racing teammates Anthony Bruno of San Jose and Bryant Bell of Oakley on
the front row for the feature.
Bruno led lap before his championship winning teammate Bell knifed underneath
him on the backstretch to lead lap two. Bruno then flipped wildly in turn one
for a red flag on lap five. He was uninjured.
Bell paced Mitchell at the front of the pack before shattered dreams when
Bell’s Toyota Walnut Creek sponsored machine went up in smoke on lap 13.
Mitchell assumed the top spot and led the final seven circuits for the
popular victory. Nichols finished second followed by Lodi’s Nate Wait,
Moorpark’s Todd Hawse, and Santa Clarita’s Todd Hawse.
Western Midget Racing races again Saturday night to complete a doubleheader,
running in a co-sanctioned feature with BCRA for the Tom Manning Memorial.

KURT NELSON RETURNS TO OCEAN SPEEDWAY VICTORY LANE UNDER FRIDAY NIGHT
LIGHTS
WATSONVILLE, CALIFORNIA (May 18, 2024) – Ocean Sprints presented by Taco
Bravo veteran Kurt Nelson of Gilroy earned a well-deserved second career series
win on Friday night and his first since 2019, topping the 30-lap feature. Nelson
led a parade of drivers at Ocean Speedway who earned breakthrough or overdue
victories during an exciting five division lineup at the Santa Cruz County
Fairgrounds. Nelson is a veteran of more than 250 Ocean Sprints starts.
“This is amazing. For a little while there I thought ‘I’m 52 years old; I’m
washed up.’ But I guess I proved I can still drive them,” Nelson said. “It was
pretty narrow up there. This car was just working amazing. Can’t thank Heavy D
(Darin Smith) enough, we do the set up over the phone. This one is for my mom,
she passed away in October. This one is for you mom.”
19-year-old Cal Poly San Luis Obispo student Bryce Eames and Nelson won the
heat races for front row starting positions for the main event. Eames leapt
ahead with the lap one lead. A battle of two of the best in the west developed
for third behind them with Chase Johnson of Penngrove and two-time 2024 Ocean
winner Tanner Carrick of Lincoln engaged. Action was halted when Campbell’s Adam
Kaeding flipped in turn one.
Nelson and Johnson used some trickery to dive inside of Eames on the restart,
sweeping into the top-two positions on the front stretch and relegating Eames
back to third on lap five.
Johnson approached Nelson at the halfway point of the race with lapped
traffic in their midst. Nelson chased the slower car of Jennifer Osborne of
Geyserville for several laps. He then slid her into turn three, but the duo made
race-ending contact for Osborne on lap 20.
Nelson led the final ten circuits for the win followed by Johnson, Eames,
Carrick, and Salinas’ Caleb Debem.
2023 Western Midget Racing runner-up Logan Mitchell of Santa Cruz scored a
coveted home track win by taking the 20-lap feature. Mitchell had previously
scored three second place finishes at the speedway.
“Man I’m going to get emotional right now. I’ve been going here as a fan
since I was a little baby. To win here finally with a bunch friends and fans and
family – what a better way to get our first Ocean win,” Mitchell said.
Boscacci Racing teammates Anthony Bruno of San Jose and Bryant Bell of Oakley
started on the front row for the feature. Bruno led lap before his championship
winning teammate Bell knifed underneath him on the backstretch to lead lap two.
Bruno then flipped wildly in turn one for a red flag on lap five. He was
uninjured.
Bell paced Mitchell at the front of the pack before shattered dreams when
Bell’s machine went up in smoke on lap 13.
Mitchell assumed the top spot and led the final seven circuits for the
popular victory. Delano’s Terry Nichols finished second followed by Lodi’s Nate
Wait, Moorpark’s Todd Hawse, and Santa Clarita’s Todd Hawse.
Watsonville’s Adriane Frost also was a popular winner when she topped the
20-lap Hobby Stock race. Frost was part of an opening lap fracas with Bobby
Gallaher of San Jose and Wally Kennedy of Freedom but was able to continue.
Norm Ayers made a daring maneuver up the middle of a three-wide battle to
take the lead on lap one. The Corralitos driver was then passed by DJ Keldsen on
lap two. Keldsen and Joyce Gallaher of San Jose tangled on lap nine, sending
Keldsen spinning out of the lead and bringing out a caution flag.
On the restart, Frost led 2023 champion Joe Gallaher. Frost fended off
Gallaher the rest of the way to win. Keldsen charged back to third followed by
Bobby Gallaher and Kennedy.
Galt’s Ryan Winter and the rest of the South Bay Dwarf Car series returned to
Ocean Speedway for the first time in 2024 with Winter prevailing. A freshly
reworked race track presented challenges for the drivers, allowing Winter to
drive underneath of the pack to go fifth to first in the opening corner.
Danny Wagner of Baypoint tried multiple different lines including cleaning
off the outside line, dropping as low as fourth but charging back to second.
Wagner worked towards Winter on the backstretch on lap 17. Winter adjusted his
approach after the challenge, and darted ahead over the final three laps for the
win. Wagner settled for second followed by Ellie Russo of Baypoint, Santa
Maria’s Ryan Caldwell, and Joe Barket of Morro Bay.
Derek Summers of Santa Cruz led all 15-laps for the Four Bangers win. The win
was a walk off in his first career start in the division, and he made the
decision to run on Thursday evening. Thomas Cumming, Lisa Rhodes, Peter
Vannerus, and Leo Lotz rounded out the top-five.

Bryan Sebetto continues hot streak, defeats GLSS 360s with his 305 at Fremont
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Saturday, May 18, 2024
By Brian Liskai
FREMONT, Ohio – Bryan Sebetto continued his winning ways Saturday, May 18 at Fremont Speedway presented by Gill Construction. The former track 410 sprint champion drove his 305 sprint to a convincing victory against the Great Lakes Super Sprints 360s on Truck Worx of Ohio Night.
Sebetto won last Saturday at Fremont and Friday, May 17 at Attica Raceway Park as well and now has three victories in a row. Sebetto led all 25 laps on route to his 27th career victory at “The Track That Action Built.”
It was a good night for the Fremont Federal Credit Union 305 Sprints as Jamie Miller drove from 11th to a runner-up finish with GLSS drivers Max Stambaugh, Brad Lamberson, and Dustin Daggett rounding out the top five.
“I didn’t know how big of a lead I had and I was playing with the wing moving it back and forth a little bit. I was getting kind of tight on the cushion where I was really good early in the race but as my tires got hotter I got tighter on the curb and I had to start pulling off of it. I felt like I was losing speed. Luckily cautions fell and I didn’t really have to move around much other than lapped traffic. But when I did I could roll the middle, I could roll the bottom…I could go anywhere I wanted,” said Sebetto of his Sandusky Bay Remodeling, JLH General Contractor, Sandusky Bay RV Rentals, KH Suspension, Overwatch Precision, Riehl Custom Fabrication, Race Ready Apparel, Level Performance, Commercial Glazing Systems, NAPA of Fremont, Clay Keim, Depot Pizza, CA Kustoms backed #01.
“I wish Guy Meyers was here tonight…he couldn’t be here so it was just me Kevin my car owner and Chase and my boys Braxton and Bentley. It means a lot when I win with my wife and my boys and my family here. To do it two nights in a row is really something. Both Jamie (Miller) and I doing this in Riehl Custom Fabrication Chassis…these cars are just bad ass. We have a great balance on this thing,” added Sebetto.
In the Burmeister Trophy Dirt Trucks Jamie Miller came into Saturday’s races undefeated, winning both features so far in 2024. Keith Sorg finished second in both. That changed Saturday. Sorg, a former two time division champion at Fremont Speedway, took the lead from Steve Miller on lap five, lost it for a lap to Miller, then regained the lead on lap 14 and never looked back, hitting his marks perfectly to score his eighth career win at Fremont.
“I felt like I made mistakes every lap. I just could not get off the bottom…that was the place to be,” said Sorg of his Fremont Fence, M&L Excavating, Westend Tire, Great Lakes Garage Door, Advanced Auto Parts backed #8.
Fremont Speedway will host a big weekend of racing on Saturday, May 25 for the Double Down Thrown Down Night with the Fort Ball Pizza Palace 410 Sprints, Fremont Federal Credit Union 305 Sprints and Burmeister Trophy Dirt Trucks in action. Then on Monday, May 27 the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series comes to town.

ROTZ HOLDS OFF PARROW FOR FIRST CAREER CRSA WIN
Race Report By: Marty Czekala - May 19, 2024
CANANDAIGUA, N.Y. – A new CRSA Sprints series record of 38 drivers checked in to Land of Legends Raceway Saturday to kick off the DisBatch Brewing Company Challenge.
In the end, a first-time winner had to earn his stripes.
Matt Rotz led all 20 laps and held off Bobby Parrow in the final laps to score his first career CRSA win and his first-ever win at Canandaigua.
"It feels like I've been working towards this all my life. I finally achieved it," said Rotz, who is in his fourth year of sprint car racing.
In the final laps, with a series of cautions, Parrow kept closing onto the leader and climbed up the leaderboard to have a chance on Rotz. With two to go, Parrow went for the lead with a run underneath and grabbed, but before Parrow crossed the line, a red flag flew for Cliff Pierce and Jerry Sehn Jr. Both drivers were okay.
This gave Rotz the lead back and defended perfectly over Parrow's move to get it done.
"Before the last caution, I saw him get under me," Rotz explained. "I was like, 'Oh crap, I got to change something up.' After that restart, I went low where he would go, and it just worked."
"Matt learned from it," said Parrow. "He was driving defensively, and I got to hand it to him. He did good."
The feature began with Alysha Bay and Matt Rotz on the front row. Wing-to-wing after the first lap, Rotz could clear and pull away. While entering lapped traffic near the halfway point, Bay and Ethan Gray could close in on the leader while approaching lapped traffic.
After a 14-lap run, the race's first yellow flew when Dalton Herrick broke, bringing the field back together.
Outside of Rotz being the top story, it was Parrow making moves down low and up high, especially on restarts, to get a chance at the win. Restarting fifth on the lap 15 restart, he passed John Smith for fourth. Eventually, he would overtake Bay for second approaching two to go before a yellow for Tyler Chartrand, Parrow had a chance to pounce.
He took the lead by passing Rotz low for the lead, but because the red flew before Parrow could take the white, the field reverted to the previous green flag lap. The final restart gave Rotz a second chance to hold off Parrow, which the No. 77 did by a tenth of a second.
"I was gonna see if he was going to block the middle and bottom or go up top,” Parrow said on his restarts, especially on the final restart. “I thought my restarts were okay, but I gotta be better to pass them all."
Parrow moving past Alysha Bay and Jeff Trombley on the high side in the final laps was the Maguire Family of Dealerships Magnificent Move of the Race.
Tomy Moreau was the Powdertech Powdercoating Hard Charger of the Race, gaining 13 spots to finish fifth.
CRSA will now turn its attention to Weedsport Speedway on Sunday to begin the I-90 Pit Stop Challenge. The action can be seen live on DIRTVision.

WCS BECOMES A HAVEN FOR SPEED
Written By: William Burkhart
After 2 weeks of downpour and even a late shower on race day Orrville’s Historic Dirt Oval comes alive again.
While not racing for points the Pine Tree Towing sprint cars still had a strong 17 car field. Ricky Peterson would dominate on the start. Lap 2 would see the first Bucks Auto Sales red flag as Cody Bova would snag a rut and end up on his side. The racing would resume once more. On lap 13 another red would fly as a fire would break out under the 38K. Myers would climb out unharmed. Peterson would still have a great restart over Jordan Ryan and TJ Michael. Peterson would go on to lead all 25 laps and pick up his second win of 2024. “I love this place. When I first got a 410 we raced here and I just fell in love with this place” Peterson added in Summit Racing Equipment victory lane.
Malcuits Tavern UMP Late Models would hit the track next. The 25-lap feature would see Moore getting an early lead. The battle for second would be a three-car duel between Ryan Markham, Dave Hornikel, and JR Gentry. Towards the end of the race a handful of yellows would continually stack up the field. Moore would get amazing drives off every restart with Ryan Markham following in second to the finish. Dave Hornikel would fend off Gentry for a third and earn Porkchops sweet move of the race. When Moore was asked about his recent switch from Rocket to Longhorn Moore said “These guys either need to join or they are going to behind and be in big [trouble]”
Nate Young and NY racer Greg Johnson would lead the field to green in the Flynn’s Tire & Auto Service UMP Modifieds. NY Racers Greg and Zach Johnson would hold second and third respectively with Ryan Markham unable to get by. Young would dominate to get his first win of 2024. “This place fits my driving style so well, it’s always right up next to the guardrail.”
The Glass House Super Stocks would see Veteran racer Charlie Duncan cruise to an easy victory with a war for second. Kyle McAfee, Braden Tucke. And Don Baney would trade slide jobs back and forth all race long before Braden Tucke would ultimately grab second and Kyle McAfee in third. “It feels great to get back here in victory lane. Its been about 3 or 4 years since I’ve won here” Charlie added in his Victory Interview.
Joyride Transport Mini Stocks would be the final feature of the night Doug Hensel, Johnny Bruce Sr., Anthony Collins, and Billy Dawson would battle it out for the the lead spot until lap 3 when Dawson would unfortunately break. Bruce, Hensel, and Collins would all throw down for the rest of the race. Hensel even threw his 18 machine into turn one like it was a late model. In the end Collins would be the one to fend off the field for his second win of 2024. “What a great year we are having, this is so much fan man!” and excited Collins would share in Victory Lane. Doug Hensel came home second with Bruce in third.

Bobby Santos in victory lane at Berlin Raceway
MARNE, Mich. (May 18, 2024) – Bobby Santos III saved the best for the very last Saturday evening during the season opener for the Must See Racing Perfit Sprint Car Series.
Santos used a high-side sweep in turns three and four of the always-racy Berlin Raceway to slip past five-time series champion Jimmy McCune coming to two laps to go.
From there, Santos streaked off into the distance, leading the remaining distance for his eighth career Must See Racing sprint car win and first since June 16, 2023, at Lorain (Ohio) Raceway Park.
The past NASCAR modified champion-turned sprint car and Silver Crown ace officially led the final three laps of the 30-lap feature, earning $4,000 for his efforts.
“I’ve been torturing my two kids; (son) Julian likes to win more than anyone I know, and he said dad hasn’t been winning as much as he wants lately,” Santos joked in victory lane. “This one feels good for us in the Month of May, it’s a big win going into Carb Night and the Little 500 next weekend.”
Santos was a second-and-a-half back with 10 to go after getting held up in lap traffic, but when McCune nearly clipped the inside wall with five to go, it gave the cagey veteran a chance to pounce.
“That was so tough,” he said. “Jimmy is awesome in these winged cars, so you have to capitalize on every little thing possible … and he had that one slip late where we were able to make a move. Chasing him when he starts out front is a battle, but we’re thrilled it was a battle we could win tonight.”
Other than a caution at lap two for a spin by rookie Brady Allum in turn four, the feature was run with no major issues. A seven-inversion put Florida’s Tommy Nichols on the pole, and he led the first two circuits before giving way to McCune on the ensuing restart.
McCune dominated the middle stages, opening up nearly a two-second advantage at one point, but as traffic became a factor in the closing laps Santos drew closer and closer to McCune’s rear bumper.
Try as he might, McCune had nothing left to fight with once Santos got past and had to settle for second.
“With eight or nine to go there, it seemed like I may have hit the loudpedal just a little too hard, because we got free and it ate the tires up,” explained the Toledo, Ohio native. “About got the inside fence there late, but we saved it and still came home second. Nothing too shabby; not too disappointed and we’ll go onto the next one.”
Canadian Ryan Litt filled out the podium finishers ahead of defending series champion Jason Blonde and two-time Must See Racing Driver of the Year Joe Liguori.
Dorman Snyder and Rick Holley were the remaining cars on the lead lap in sixth and seventh, respectively, while Davey Hamilton Jr. ended up a lap down in eighth after having to drop to the rear of the field for the start due to a cut tire on the pace laps.
Liguori started the night as the fast qualifier, earning those laurels for the eighth time in his career after a lap of 13.454 seconds (117.199 mph), while Snyder and Hamilton split the eight-lap heat race victories.
An early start time of 4 p.m. meant the tidy program took the checkered flag at 7:26 p.m. in the east.
The next Must See Racing Perfit Sprint Car Series race is scheduled for June 1 at Lancaster (N.Y.) National Speedway. It will be the first trip for the traveling tour to the five-eighths-mile, D-shaped oval.

Aaron Reutzel Astonishes with POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprint Win at Lee County Speedway
Donnellson, IA. (5/17/24) Aaron Reutzel would dominate in an over seven
second winning advantage with the POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprint in the Hawkeye Hustle
presented by Start2Finish TV to notch his fourth league victory and pocket the
$5K payday in an outstanding feature event at Lee County Speedway.
Flying onto the smooth surface with twenty-seven talented entrants of the
POWRi 410’s would see Garet Williamson set a track record quick qualifying time
of 13.096-second lap with Austin McCarl, Paul Neinhiser, and Will Armitage each
earning heat racing victories as Gunnar Ramey would wheel his way to the lone
semi feature win.
Captivating the crowd on the initial green flag start with high-point
qualifier Aaron Reutzel and Blake Hahn lined up in the front row as pole-starter
Aaron Reutzel would gain the lead on the opening lap with Blake Hahn, Chase
Randall, Austin McCarl, and Garet Williamson all raced within the top five.
Dominating in fine fashion Aaron Reutzel would be in a class by himself
throughout the feature never really feeling any pressure for the top running
position as true battle would break out throughout the pas with Austin McCarl
and Garet Williamson swarming around Blake Hahn, Paul Neinhiser and Chase
Randall all event within the top six.
Aaron Reutzel would not be denied in earning his fourth career POWRi 410
Outlaw Sprint victory in an action-packed thirty-lap caution free main event
with Austin McCarl hustling into the runner-up position late.
“We tried a different car tonight and I think we might be onto something with
this car handling the shorter tracks better,” said an elated Aaron Reutzel in
the victory lane ceremony celebrations. Adding, “It seemed like I could run
anywhere with so much drive off the corners”.
Challenging closely behind would find Garet Williamson placing on the final
podium placement from the starting fourth on the initial green flag. Chase
Randall would be among the frontrunners all feature to fourth as Blake Hahn
would round out the top-five finishers for the POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprints at Lee
County Speedway’s Hawkeye Hustle.

Kofoid returns to Ohio racing roots, gets last lap pass for World of Outlaws win at Attica
Friday, May 17, 2024
By Brian Liskai
ATTICA, Ohio – A hand full of years ago a young Michael “Buddy” Kofoid moved to Ohio to make a name for himself in sprint car racing, competing weekly at Attica Raceway Park. The Penngrove, Calif. Driver used that experience to perfection Friday, getting by Carson Macedo on the last lap to score his first World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series win of 2024.
Kofoid’s second ever Attica win was worth $12,000 on Kistler Engines Classic Night. It’s his fourth career World of Outlaws win.
“After Carson got by me on that restart I didn’t think the top of one and two was the place to be and I kind of got tight on that restart. Once he got by me I just tried to stay with him and pace him because I knew the race could potentially be won in traffic if it stayed green. I was able to keep bumping my wing back and move down the track in one and it really stuck a lane lower than him. Super happy to finally win a race this year. These Roth Motorsports guys have been unbelieveable. It’s the best I’ve ever felt in a sprint car and I owe it all to Dylan and Gage,” said Kofoid beside his Toyota Racing Development/Mobil 1/Roth Enterprises/HR Livestock Transportation backed #83.
Californian Kalib Henry led the opening lap of the 35-lap feature before Kofoid took over. Back-to-back race stoppages on lap 10 gave fellow Californian Macedo the chance to pounce on a restart and he slid into the lead. Heavy lapped traffic with 15 laps to go allowed Kofoid to reel in Macedo. On the last lap Kofoid got under Macedo and was able to slide him exciting turn four to score the win by just .250 seconds. Bill Balog, Brandon Spithaler and Henry rounded out the top five.
In the Fremont Fence 305 Sprint feature Sandusky, Ohio’s Bryan Sebetto took the lead from Brendon Torok on lap three and survived a late race caution to score his 15th career win in the division at Attica.
“It’s a testament to my guys and the hard work they put in the off-season. Kevin Schlachter hasn’t spared any expense for anything on this race car. The hard work of Guy Myers and Chase Rotsinger and Kevin during the week….can’t thank everyone who is a part of this team enough,” said Sebetto beside his Sandusky Bay Remodeling, JLH General Contractor, Sandusky Bay RV Rentals, KH Suspension, Overwatch Precision, Riehl Custom Fabrication, Level Performance, Commercial Glazing Systems, NAPA of Fremont, Clay Keim, Depot Pizza, CA Kustoms backed #01.
Attica Raceway Park will be back in action Friday, May 24 with the 410 and 305 sprints and the $5,000-to-win first ever appearance of the Iron Man Late Model Series to “Ohio’s Finest Racing” venue.

Flick FAST at Tri-City; Reitz, Schneider, and Urey also Score
(Franklin, PA May 12, 2024): A.J. Flick, the two-time and defending champion in the Krill Recycling LLC 410 Sprint Cars secured the home turf against the invasion of the FAST on Dirt Sprint Car Series on Mother’s Day at Tri City Raceway Park. The event, which made up for a cancellation the week before, was the first race conducted under new track ownership, of Josh and Kyrsten Shiffer. It was a major success. Also taking home wins on this momentous night were Chad Reitz (21st Century Energy Group 358 Modifieds), Chris Schneider (Hovis Auto & Truck Supply Pro Stocks), and Matt Urey (4 Your Car Connection Mini Stocks).
In the FAST Sprint Car feature, Logan McCandless and A.J. Flick brought the outstanding field to the green flag. Behind them were Matt Farnham and Dale Blaney. In the third row were series points leader Zane DeVault and Dylan Norris. The fourth row consisted of defending FAST champion Brandon Spithaler and Sean Rayhall. The fifth row paired Ricky Peterson and Gale Ruth, Jr. The sixth duo was Jack Sodeman, Jr. and Bob Felmlee.
Flick raced into turn one ahead of McCandless, Farnham, DeVault, and Spithaler. Before the racers could settle in, there was a caution for a three-car tangle in turn two, which included a flip by Sye Lynch. T.J. Michael and Ruth were also involved, but they were able to make repairs and resume racing.
Flick bolted ahead again on the restart. McCandless raced along in second, ahead of Farnham, DeVault, Spithaler, Blaney, Rayhall, Felmlee, and Sodeman.
Michael averted disaster on lap seven, when he went over the right rear wheel of Jarrett Cavalet midway down the back stretch. Both drivers were able to keep moving, and Michael safely brought his car into the pits. Cavalet stopped at the entrance to turn three to bring out the second caution.
On the ensuing restart, Flick continued to lead over McCandless, Farnham, and Norris. There was a good three-car battle for fifth among DeVault, Blaney, and Spithaler. That ended several laps later when Spithaler sustained a flat right rear and brought his car to a stop.
The first two remained unchanged when the race went green again, but Norris moved into third, ahead of DeVault and Farnham.
The final eleven laps went off without a hitch. Flick picked up the checkers, 0.613 seconds ahead of McCandless. DeVault, Norris, and Farnham completed the top five. Blaney, Spithaler, Rayhall, Sodeman, and Felmlee completed the top ten.
The heat winners were Farnham, Flick, and McCandless. The B Main winner was Brent Matus, who had mechanical woes and did not complete a lap in the A Main. The evening’s fastest qualifier overall was DeVault, with a time of 15.220 seconds on the big half mile.
In the 21st Century Energy Group 358 Modifieds, Hayden Holden and Ryan Guthrie
paced the field for the start of the twenty lapper. Chad Reitz and Eric Beggs
were partners in row two. Kevin Green and Steve Slater made up row three. Lenny
Liebold, III and Gage Priester were in row four, with Brandon Ritchey and Jeremy
Beichner in row five. The sixth row consisted of Jimmy Holden and Daniel
Hostetler.
On the initial green, Guthrie got off to a slow start, causing Beggs to check up. He got turned and made contact with the front stretch wall. Although he was unhurt, he was unable to continue in the race.
On the second attempt to get the race going, Hayden Holden assumed control, with Reitz running a close second. Slater, Guthrie, Green, and Priester followed. Green coasted to a halt in turn four on the second lap.
Hayden Holden maintained the lead for two more laps. Reitz got a big run off turn two with his powerful Ford powered car, and he swooped into the lead entering turn three.
Reitz set a fast pace through lap nineteen, when the final caution set up a green-white-checker finish. Reitz completed the rounds without any further complications. Hayden Holden and Slater were next across the line. Priester and Guthrie were fourth and fifth.
The balance of the top ten were Beichner, Hostetler, Liebold, Jimmy Holden, and Ritchey.
The heat winners were Hayden Holden and Slater. There was no B Main.
The Hovis Auto & Truck Supply Pro Stocks had Hunter Exley and Chris Schneider on the front row. Shane Applebee and Josh Seippel left from row two. The third had Bobby Whitling and Brandon Connor. Row four matched Pat Fielding with Hot Rod Laskey. Tim Bish and Mike Miller had row five covered and Matt Bernard and Doug Iorio, II followed them.
Schneider and Exley got off to a quick start for the twenty lapper. Seippel, Conner, and Bobby Whitling were in tow. Whitling’s race ended early, however.
Schneider, Exley, and Seippel continued in the top three after that brief stoppage for Bobby Whitling. But Bish was on the move, reaching the top five by the middle stage of the race. He continued his advance in the second half of the contest.
At the checkers, it was Schneider, Exley, Bish, Miller, and Connor. Iorio, Ron Boardman, Applebee, Bernard, and Jake Whitling completed the top ten.
The 4 Your Car Connection Mini Stocks wore the nightcap. Tevn Schaffer and Tim Callahan were in the first row for the twelve lap finale. Dillon Morrison and Greg Rockwell had the second row covered. The third consisted of John Gill and Matt Urey, the defending division. Bill Fuchs and Mike Kelly met in row four. The fifth had Chad Greeley and Ben Aley, with Nick Bem and Allen Robison right behind.
Callahan led the early going until he sustained a flat coming off turn two. Morrison and Urey, who were locked in a heated battle for second at the time, had to take evasive measures. Fortunately, they were able to avoid impact with Callahan. The contest between Morrison and Urey was intense, with Urey making a late race pass to grab the win.

Andy Forsberg surges to 70th career Sprint Car win at Placerville Speedway
By Gary Thomas
Placerville, CA…Fans were treated to a tremendous night of racing during Mother’s Day Madness at Placerville Speedway on Saturday. When all was said and done it was nine-time track champion Andy Forsberg in victory lane, after pocketing his 70th career Sprint Car win at the track.
All four divisions displayed entertaining racing at the event, with fellow winners on the night including a first-time victor in Rod Oliver with the Mountain Democrat Ltd. Late Models, Nick Baldwin with the Red Hawk Casino Pure Stocks and Mike Miller with the Mountain Democrat Mini Trucks.
The 25-lap Thompson’s Family of Dealerships Winged 360 Sprint Car feature was all about Forsberg, who turned back the clock and rode the cushion to perfection. The Auburn driver dominated things, much like he has over so many years at the El Dorado County Fairgrounds.
The action behind him was marvelous however, with several drivers going at it and positions changing lap after lap. Jake Morgan of Fair Oaks looked impressive in the main event and moved into second on lap 11, making the pass of Jodie Robinson, who also looked solid in her Placerville return.
As the race wound down 16-year-old Braden Chiaramonte climbed into second, while Placerville’s own Shane Hopkins battled his way into third. Forsberg took the checkered flag over Chiaramonte, Hopkins, Morgan and Robinson in the top-five. Chiaramonte capped a strong weekend after finishing on the podium at Chico the previous night. Hopkins should also be commended for an excellent drive in the feature to earn a podium spot.
Rounding out the top-10 were Bubba Decaires, Corbin Rueschenberg, Michael Faccinto, DJ Freitas and Tony Gomes. A total of 32 Sprint Cars competed at Mother’s Day Madness. Isaiah Vasquez began the evening by earning the ADCO Driveline & Custom Exhaust Fast Time Award with a lap of 10.781.
First-time winners are always a fun part of the program and that came to fruition last night, as Yuba City’s Rod Oliver accepted his initial Placerville Speedway checkered flag. The long-time Ltd. Late Model driver led all 20-laps, but it didn’t come easy as Lincoln’s Dan Brown Jr. hounded him every step of the way.
Previous event winner Anthony Slaney also made moves running the high-scary side of the bullring to close in on the lead duo. In the end it was a non-stop affair with Oliver claiming victory over Brown, Slaney, Tyler Lightfoot and Jay Norton.
The Red Hawk Casino Pure Stocks gave the crowd on hand their definite monies worth with an absolute barn burner in the main event. Orangevale’s Tommy Sturgeon has been impressive during the early campaign and led laps once again on Saturday. Side by Side racing was prevalent all throughout the field in what was a non-stop 20-lapper.
Around the halfway point Tribute to Al Hinds winner Kevin Jinkerson blasted into the lead and held command until Nick Baldwin went upstairs, taking over the top-spot. Exceptionally close competition was seen right down to the wire. The five-time Placerville champ Baldwin brought home the triumph over Jinkerson, a very fast Tyler Lightfoot, Dan Jinkerson and Sturgeon in the top-five.
The Mountain Democrat Mini Trucks also provided a wild main event that almost went non-stop as well. Multiple different leaders were seen with Mike Miller, Howard Miller, Austin Struthers and Thomas Jensen all fighting for the top-spot at times.
H. Miller found himself out front following the midway point, but an exciting exchange occurred on lap 16 that saw M. Miller come out ahead. Mike Miller grabbed the checkered flag ahead of Howard Miller, Jensen, Luke Costa and Paige Miller.
Placerville Speedway will take a couple weeks off before coming back with one of the biggest events all season. The two-night Dave Bradway Jr. Memorial weekend occurs on Friday and Saturday May 31st and June 1st.
Opening night is headlined by the Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour,
while the NARC 410 Sprint Cars invade the track for the only time in 2024 during
the finale. Both nights also showcase the Nor-Cal Dwarf Car Association. Seating

Trey Jacobs adds his name to the record books at Fremont Speedway; Sebetto wins thrilling 305 feature; Miller earns 2nd straight track victory
Sunday, May 12, 2024
By Brian Liskai
FREMONT, Ohio – Trey Jacobs added his name to the family win list at Fremont Speedway Presented by Gill Construction on Ohio Truck Sales/Autokiniton Night, Saturday, May 11. He joins his father Dean, Uncle Kenny and Cousin Lee to have won sprint car features at “The Track That Action Built.”
The Wooster, Ohio driver grabbed the early lead in the 30-lap Fort Ball Pizza Palace 410 Sprint feature, maintaining the point until a restart on lap nine. Sean Rayhall then took the point but Jacobs fought back and the pair waged an entertaining battle until Jacobs regained the top spot on lap 13. Jacobs began to pull away but a pair of cautions erased over three second leads. Californian Kalib Henry drove into second on lap 16 but could not keep pace with Jacobs despite the pair of cautions. A red with two laps to go set u a shoot-out but Jacobs hit his marks perfectly and drove to the win over Henry, 16th starter Zeth Sabo, Cale Thomas and Rayhall.
Thomas’ fourth place finish will keep him atop the point standings for the All Pro Aluminum Cylinder Heads-Kistler Racing Products Attica Fremont Championship Series presented by the Baumann Auto Group.
“I needed this badly. I feel like I gave one away a hand full of years ago here…led until the last lap. We’ve come so close and honestly this year has been a complete struggle. Shit breaking…dumb stuff. Finally to get this win here means a ton. I love Fremont Speedway…this race track was bad ass tonight. It had a good top, bottom, good curb,” said Jacobs in the Beaverdam Fleet Services Victory Lane.
“I was good in open air at the beginning and when I caught those lapped cars I was getting tripped up in the curb and the one yellow after Sean got by was pretty timely. I saw my guys motion for me to try the bottom and I was able to go down there and it was really good. If I didn’t make any mistakes and hold the bottom I’d be okay. I have to thank Jerry McClure and Jeff Weinberg for giving us the equipment to run and all our sponsors, Harbaugh Electronics, B&B Drain Service, Holmes Cheese Co., Smithville Manufacturing, Vib-Iso, Burgett Insurance, Brent Coffman Trucking, DJ’s Aircraft Maintenance, Dac Vitamins and Minerals…everyone who has helped out…it’s a real family operation here,” added Jacobs.
The Fremont Federal Credit Union 305 Sprint feature had fans on the edge of their seats. Zack Kramer led the opening lap but Seth Schneider charged into the lead on the second circuit only to surrender the point to Jamie Miller on lap six.
Miller built up a second and half lead while Bryan Sebetto charged into second. A caution with seven laps to go put Sebetto on Miller’s rear bumper and the pair didn’t disappoint with Miller driving on the bottom and Sebetto ripping the cushion. The pair nearly touched battling for the lead several times with Sebetto finally getting by on lap 21. Miller fought back and regained the lead with just two laps to go. Racing into lapped traffic on the final lap, Sebetto and Miller split a lapped car making contact exiting turn four the drag race was on with Sebetto edging Miller by .058 seconds for his 26th career Fremont victory. Dustin Stroup, DJ Foos and Schneider rounded out the top five.
Miller added to his lead in the points for the NAPA of Bryan AFCS presented by Jason Dietsch Trailer Sales with his runner-up finish.
“Hats off to Jamie. He raced me hard but ran me clean. He left me room when I was coming off the top of turn four. It’s things like that you remember. Some of these young kids don’t understand that when you race someone with respect it comes around. Jamie raced me with respect and I have nothing but respect for what he’s done and what that team has accomplished,” said Sebetto beside his Sandusky Bay Remodeling, JLH General Contractor, Sandusky Bay RV Rentals, KH Suspension, Overwatch Prescition, Commercial Glazing Systems, NAPA of Fremont, Clay Keim, Depot Pizza, CA Kustoms backed #01.
“We worked really, really hard this off-season with these cars. It’s a brand new race car, one of Bubba Riehl’s RCF Chassis that me Jamie (Miller) and Bubba’s brother (Logan Riehl) are the only ones on them to best of my knowledge. Level built us a new motor over the winter.Kevin Schlachter has spent so much time and money on this race team for Seth (Schneider) and me to win,” added Sebetto.
Miller grabbed the lead on lap three and withstood several challenges from Keith Sorg before driving away to his second straight Burmeister Trophy Dirt Truck feature win at Fremont. Miller, aboard the Ron Miller Race Cars, Fostoria Mod Shop backed #4M, earned his 47th career Fremont victory, placing him ninth on the track’s all-time win list.
“This thing just rolled the bottom so nice I just had to make sure I didn’t mess up,” said Miller.
Fremont Speedway presented by Gill Construction will be back in action Saturday, May 18 on Truck Worx of Ohio Night. The Great Lakes Super Sprints will battle the Fremont Federal Credit Union 305 Sprints while the stock cars will square off against the Burmeister Trophy Dirt Trucks.

Mintz gets late race pass for 410 Attica win; Schlenk, Markham split late model victories; Miller comes to life for 305 win
Saturday, May 11, 2024
By Brian Liskai
ATTICA, Ohio – Craig Mintz was able to maneuver his car anywhere he wanted on a fast Attica Raceway Park Friday, May 10 and it paid off for his 17th career 410 sprint car victory at “Ohio’s Finest Racing” venue on Edward Jones Investments-Mike Neill financial advisor/American Powersports Night.
The Gibsonburg, Ohio driver – a former Attica 410 sprint track champion – executed a perfect slider on race-long leader Greg Wilson to take the lead on lap 26 of the 30-lap Callie’s Performance Products 410 Sprint feature and drove to the $4,000 win over Wilson, Cap Henry, Zeth Sabo and DJ Foos.
Henry’s third place run helps him close the gap in the All Pro Aluminum Cylinder Heads-Kistler Racing Products Attica Fremont Championship Series presented by the Baumann Auto Group points as he looks to defending his series’ title.
“When the tires actually cooled down we got faster. We were really good for about three laps there. Three and four was just kind of hold your own at the top and if you could gain ground in one and two…which this race car could…that helped you get runs down the back stretch to do those sliders. Hats off to these guys, Chris, Rich, my dad, my wife and kids. We do this part time and we like to have fun,” said Mintz beside his Real Geese Decoys, Modern Woodman of America, Seagate Sandblasting, Brown Family Construction, Linder’s Speed Equipment, Bettsville Legion, DMI Racing, Keizer Wheels backed #09.
The Whistle Stop Presents the Dirt Nerds Podcast Powered by Propane UMP Late Models had a busy night at Attica Raceway Park. First a 25 lap make-up feature from last week was held that produced a bizarre and exciting finish.
Rusty Schlenk led the first 20 laps but a radiator hose let go and put water down and second place challenger JR Gentry spun. Schlenk went pit side and Ashland, Ohio’s Ryan Markham who had also been challenging up front, took the lead and held off a late race challenge from Kyle Moore and Jeff Babcock for his 24th career Attica win worth $3,000.
“I knew my car was pretty good and we were right there on them. Sometimes you have to take what you can get,” said Markham of his B&B Drain Service, Beer Barrel Drive Thru, After Burner Performance, Chuys Tacos & Margaritas, Monster Motors, Last Mango Soap Company, Backin the Barn, Boutique, Ocala Restaurant Supply, Mar Trucking, Schaeffers Racing Oil by Kevin Hill, TGR Performance sponsored #5M.
In the night’s regular late model feature Schlenk took the lead from Gentry on lap 14 and held off a late race charge from Moore who had spun on the opening lap and came from the tail. Gentry, Gregg Haskell and Devin Shiels rounded out the top five. It was Schlenk’s 40th career win in the late models at Attica.
“We have a cooling problem obviously. We blew a radiator hose in the first feature. I was trying to baby it and I was trying to run around there half-throttle but Gentry was there and I over-heated it and blew the hose. That was a $3,000 loss for an $18 part. I was watching the board and I knew Kyle Moore was coming….he’s been very good competition. We were running hot again so I wasn’t trying to push it,” said Schlenk beside his Buckeye Concrete Coatings, Terry Hendricks Auto Group, Velocita USA, Dominator Race Products, Tom Finch Auto, Domination Race Cars, All Star Performance backed #91.
The Fremont Fence 305 Sprints also put on a fantastic feature event. Dustin Stroup grabbed the lead at the drop of the green and held the point for nine laps before John Ivy took over. Ivy continued to slice through traffic, leading until lap 20 when defending track champion Jamie Miller came to life. Miller had to fend off Ivy, then Paul Weaver and finally Bryan Sebetto to get his second win of the year at Attica and the 41st 305 win of his career at the track. Sebetto, Weaver, Ivy and Stroup rounded out the top five.
“We were way to tight early but as the race went on and the fuel load burned off this car took off,” said Miller beside his Boca Construction, JLH General Contractors, Kenny Kolb Farms, Tuck Pointing America, Queen of Clean, Smitty’s Pizza, Roberts & Sons Contracting, Pizza Wheel, Crown Battery, Reedtown Tavern, Fostoria Mod Shop, Sandy’s Dad, Gressman Powersports, Phil Rister, Slade Shock Technology backed #26.

For the Winged Sprints, it was Trevor Serbus and Brady Donahue setting the
pace for the 20-lap feature. It was a beehive of activity by all drivers for
what was called an obstacle course type racetrack as drivers had to navigate a
fast but rough racing surface. With several cautions, it was a real slobber
knocker race, and Trevor Serbus held onto the point for the entire race, parking
in the Pirtek Victory Lane. Following Serbus were Chase Viebrock, Owen Carlson,
Jack Berger and Brett Peterson.

Paul Nienhiser Makes It Two in a Row With Sprint Invaders Win at Benton
County!
(Bill W) Vinton, IA, May 5, 2024 – Paul Nienhiser made it two wins in a row with the Mohrfeld Solar Sprint Invaders Sunday night at Benton County Speedway in Vinton, Iowa. The Chapin, Illinois driver earned $2,000 for his win aboard Scott Bonar’s #50, and also recorded his fourteenth career win with the Sprint Invaders. It was the second in a row for Nienhiser at Benton County, as he became the first repeat winner here with the Sprint Invaders.
Based on his win in the Agriland FS Dash, Nienhiser started on the pole of the 25-lap main event. He attacked the quarter-mile bullring from the outset, trailed by Ryan Bunton and Chris Martin. Cam Martin brought the first caution of the race with a lap three spin. One more lap was in the books when TJ Haddy spun and retired from the event.
Nienhiser led Bunton, Chris Martin, Cody Wehrle and Dustin Clark back to green. Bunton surged when the green fell, and briefly nosed ahead of the leader, but Nienhiser was able to maintain his advantage. Tanner Gebhardt also entered the top five at that point.
Wehrle gained momentum and by lap ten, was attempting a move from fourth to second when Chris Martin got over the top of turn four, slowing his podium run. Nienhiser was able to shoot away on that restart, while Bunton and Wehrle continued their chase. On lap 13, Wehrle was able to maneuver by Bunton for second before the final caution of the event came out for Tyler Lee and Chris Martin with ten to go.
While Nienhiser stayed out front, Bunton used the restart to take back the runner-up spot in a good battle. The last ten laps saw Nienhiser chased to the line by Bunton, Wehrle, Gebhardt and Colton Fisher. Ryan Jamison, Tasker Phillips, Riley Goodno, hard-charger Cam Martin and McCain Richards rounded out the top ten. Chris Martin, Bunton and Wehrle won heat races.
“It’s always a pleasure to come back to Vinton,” said Nienhiser in Victory Lane. “I always like to come here. We’d like to think we’re figuring out the setup here in the 50 car. It’s pretty cool to start the season out with the Sprint Invaders two for two. It was a little crumbly in the Dash, but with as hard as the track was (even after track prep), I knew it was going to come back.”
“Cody’s a heck of a competitor, and it’s a lot of fun racing guys who respect each other on and off the track,” said Bunton. “The car was decent. As an old man now, I struggle a little to hit my marks every lap, but we’re getting there. I’d like to thank my team. Paul has always killed me on restarts, and we really worked on this thing to take off. I just tried to use it to my advantage and get under him. It worked briefly.”
“It was a great night,” said Wehrle. “I love this place. It’s so racy all the time. You can always try things. It was good racing with Bunton. We raced really hard. I didn’t want to see that caution (when he went from fourth to second), but I was able to pass Ryan for second after that. He got back around, so it all came out in the wash in the end.”

BRYANT BELL TOPS LOGAN MITCHELL IN WESTERN MIDGET RACING THRILLER AT
VENTURA
VENTURA, CALIFORNIA (May 4, 2024) – 2023 Western Midget Racing champion
Bryant Bell of Oakley, Calif. outlasted series runner-up Logan Mitchell of Santa
Cruz to claim round three of the WMR at Ventura Raceway on Saturday night. Bell
became the third different winner of the 2024 season as well.
Bell and Mitchell were separated by just four points at the end the 2023
championship and came into Saturday’s races separated by the same margin. Bell
and Mitchell then split the night’s heat races and lined up second and third
respectively in the 20-lap feature.
Bell and his Boscacci Racing teammate Anthony Bruno of San Jose used the
outside line to charge past polesitter Gary DeWitt of Mesa, Ariz. at the start
of the main event. Bell paced Bruno, who won the season opener at Ventura
Raceway, in a tight battle. Mitchell slid past DeWitt for third on lap seven and
quickly reeled the top two.
Bruno tried to get around Bell on a few occasions, including a dive inside in
turn one, to no avail. Bruno finally got a run on the outside in turn three but
the leaders banged wheels. Bruno flipped side over side to end his race early on
lap 16.
Bell drove ahead of Mitchell on the drop of the green flag on the restart. On
the final lap, Mitchell made his move on the outside. Bell and Mitchell went
across the finish line side-by-side, with Bell winning by just a few inches.
DeWitt finished third followed by Nate Wait of Lodi and Todd Hawse of Moorpark.

HUTTON BEATS 24 DRIVERS PLUS MOTHER NATURE IN SEASON OPENER AT THUNDER
MOUNTAIN
Race Report By: Marty Czekala - May 5, 2024
CENTER LISLE, N.Y. – The inaugural Joe's Garage Southern Tier Series race not only featured some of the "Future Stars of Sprint Cars" but also Mother Nature taking on Thunder Mountain Speedway. In the end, the defending champ began his title reign successfully.
Jordan Hutton took the lead on lap seven from Johnny Smith and Billy VanInwegen and did not look back to record his ninth career CRSA Sprints win. This win ties him for eighth in the record books with Dalton Herrick and Mike Kiser.
Hutton ran the bottom throughout the entire feature, but the car came in near the halfway point.
"I saw Johnny and Billy both going for the same spot," said Hutton, whose win at Thunder Mountain was also his first top-five at the track. “I said,' Here's my chance. 'I missed the bottom for the first 10 laps, but man, did it come in after that.”
The race began with Hutton starting second and Dustin Sehn in pole position. Immediately off turn four, Billy VanInwegen threaded the needle, taking the lead while four-wide.
Smith was able to move up to second around the outside after Jeff Trombley hit a yuke tire, hindering Hutton's forward progress in battling for the runner-up spot.
Following a series of cautions, including a red flag, the race restarted on lap six with "Billy V" having a higher exit than normal off two, allowing Smith an opportunity to take the lead. Smith threw a slidejob into turn three to advance to the point while Hutton was on both the tail tanks of VanInwegen and Hutton.
That's when the bottom worked for Hutton. He gathered a run underneath Smith to lead lap seven and didn't look back to take the win by five seconds, leaving nine drivers on the lead lap at the end.
"This place and me have a rough relationship sometimes," Hutton says. "We finally hit our marks, and our crew guys came together. Couldn't have been more pleased. The thing that helped me was the red flag. I went into the bottom of the first corner [on the following restart], and the car stuck really well and got more speed."
Despite the tough restart for him, Billy VanInwegen finished runner-up after winning at Thunder Mountain last year and believed he had a race-winning car in the early laps.
"We started out really good on the top and then had no idea where I should be," VanInwegen commented. Had that gone green, the fans would've had a great show. We're going to have to do some homework and work on our tire program. I think we had a sealed right rear tire with the long cautions."
Jerry Sehn Jr. recorded his fourth podium in CRSA series history, finishing third. After Johnny Smith broke as the final yellow waved, the door was left wide-open, and Sehn Jr. took the final podium spot by passing Ron Greek on the bottom in the final laps.
"I kept my nose clean to pick the best lane," said Sehn Jr. This car doesn't like when it's slick, and the track was smooth. I thought it came out all right."
Twenty-five cars checked into Thunder Mountain this evening.
Smith was awarded the Maguire Family of Dealerships Magnificent Move of the Race after passing Billy VanInwegen for the race lead on lap six.
Kyle Pierce was the Powdertech Powdercoating Hard Charger of the Race, gaining 16 spots to finish fifth.
The CRSA Sprints will now turn their attention to Land of Legends Raceway on May 11 to begin the DisBatch Brewing Company Challenge. Can't make it? The action can be seen for free on Land of Legends TV and simulcasted on DIRTVision.

Smith, Reinbold, Paulus score Impact Signs Awnings & Wraps Open Wheel Showdown wins at Lucas Oil Speedway
WHEATLAND, MO. (May 4, 2024) - Wesley Smith of Nixa led all 25 laps to
capture the POWRi WAR Sprint League feature victory Saturday night, turning a
close battle into a runaway late as he beat Jack Wagner by 2.8 seconds.
The victory, at the 13th annual Impact Signs Awnings & Wraps Open Wheel
Showdown at Lucas Oil Speedway, moved Smith into second place in all-time POWRi
WAR wins with 14. Smith is 2-for-2 in 2024, adding to a feature win in the
season opener at I-70 Speedway.
"I think they put some new dirt on this surface and definitely for the
better," Smith said of Lucas Oil Speedway. "It's definitely a little tricky.
It's not the smoothest or the fastest surface I've ever raced on, but it's one
of the funnest. It seems the WAR Series is putting on some great shows."
Smith started up front and led the opening lap as Kory Schudy moved into
second before a caution flew on lap two. Wagner, of Lone Jack, moved around
Schudy for the second spot two laps after the restart.
The order remained that way as the laps ticked by with Smith maintaining a
quarter-second lead over Wagner. Those two waged a tremendous battle for the
lead as the race reached lap 12 when Wagner couldn't quite pull off a slider for
the lead. No matter what Wagner tried, Smith was up to the challenge and he was
able to use lapped traffic to expand his lead to close out the wire-to-wire
victory.
"Man, that was a fun race," Smith said, noting Wagner's near-pass eight eight
laps remaining. "I told him after the race 'if you'd have waited one more corner
and one more lap, you'd have passed me.'"
Schudy, of Battlefield, Mo., finished third with Keith Martin of Cleburne,
Texas, coming home in fourth.
In other divisions of the Open Wheel Showdown:
Reinbold earns first POWRi Midget League victory: Hayden Reinbold of
Chandler, Ariz., dominated from start to finish for his first POWRi National and
West Midget league career victory.
The 20-year-old Reinbold started on the pole and rolled to the lead in a race
slowed by only one early caution. He opened a 2.2-second command over Shannon
McQueen by lap nine and maintained consistent laps the rest of the way to lead
all 15 circuits.
McQueen, of Bakersfield, Calif., held off 15-year-old Gunnar Setser of
Columbus, Ind., for the runner-up positions. Broc Elliott of California, Mo.,
finished fourth.
"We've been struggling a little bit lately, so we came down here to run POWRi
and we had a lot of fun," Reinbold said. "It was a bummer we were rained out
last night (at Callaway Raceway) but we were super happy to show that we have
some speed.
"This place is awesome. The facility is nice," Reinbold said of Lucas Oil
Speedway. "I've been here once before and I crashed, but I had a lot of fun
(tonight). This place is sick."
POWRi Ozark Region 360 Sprints: Miles Paulus overtook Randy Martin with three
laps remaining and went on to score his first POWRi Ozark Region 360 Sprint
feature victory.
Paulus, of Marshall, started fourth and gave chase to Martin most of the way
before finally reeling him in and making the decisive pass. Paulus wound up
beating sixth-starting Gunner Ramey and Paulus at the checkers.
Martin sprinted to the lead from the start as Paulus gave chase and had a
one-second lead over Paulus 10 laps into the feature. As the race continued
under green, Paulus cut the lead to .090 of a second by lap 16.
Paulus completed his march to the front by sliding past Martin in turn two on
lap 17 with Ramey, from Sedalia, right behind. Once out in front, Paulus pulled
away as Martin, of California, Mo., and Ramey went back-and-forth for second.
Paulus finished 3.06 seconds in front of Ramey with Martin settling for third.
"Everybody on the side of this car ... I get to stand here and say that I
won, but we won as a team," Paulus said. "I'm very grateful for their support.
It's a team effort."

Wesley Smith Keeps Winning at Lucas Oil Speedway with POWRi WAR
Wheatland, MO. (5/4/24) Wesley Smith would lead every revolution in the 13th
Annual Impact Signs, Awnings, and Wraps Open Wheel Showdown presented by
Start2Finish TV feature event at Lucas Oil Speedway with the POWRi WAR Sprint
League to notch his fourteenth career feature victory.
Racing onto the quick surface of Lucas Oil Speedway, POWRi WAR would find
traditional sprinters witnessing Jack Wagner set a quickest hot-lap time of
15.292-second lap as Wesley Smith and Jack Wagner each earned heat racing
victories.
Enthralling the packed crowd on the initial green flag start with high-point
qualifier Wesley Smith and Cody Baker lined up in the front row, Wesley Smith
would gain the lead on the opening lap after a scary moment in turn one on the
opening lap with Cody Baker flipping and collecting Zach Clark and Dean Bowers
with all drivers okay.
After a fresh start with Wesley Smith and Kory Schudy now making up the front
row, Wesley Smith would not waste any time in taking the preferred position with
a speedy row-two starting Jack Wagner blasting into the runner-up spot.
Separating from the field the top two would put on a dazzling display of
open-wheel excitement as Wesley Smith and Jack Wagner would contend for the top
spot on nearly every lap with Smith able to hold off the racy Wagner.
Leading every lap, Wesley Smith would emerge victorious with the POWRi WAR
Sprint League at Lucas Oil Speedway in the Open Wheel Showdown presented by
Start2Finish to notch his second yearly league victory. Staying in the hunt Jack
Wagner would finish runner-up as Kory Schudy completed the final podium
placements.
“I joked with Jack after the race about showing me the line one lap too
soon,” said victorious Wesley Smith in the Wheatland, Missouri victory lane
celebrations. Adding, “I think the new dirt did wonders for this surface and I
love it. These races are won in the shop during the week and we’ve been spending
a lot of time there, it’s very rewarding to reap the benefits.”

GAUGE GARCIA SCORES FIRST CAREER OCEAN SPRINTS VICTORY
WATSONVILLE, CALIFORNIA (May 4, 2024) – 18-year-old Gauge Garcia of Lemoore
won his first career Ocean Sprints presented by Taco Bravo feature on Friday
night at Watsonville’s Ocean Speedway. Garcia was one of five winners during the
night, including Bakersfield’s Nicholas Johnson prevailing in Hobby Stocks, Fred
Ryland of Brentwood claiming the IMCA Sport Modifieds, Jason Lazzerini of Moss
Landing winning the Four Bangers, and Scotts Valley Police Officer Kevin Elliott
winning in Police-in-Pursuit.
“This is our third showing in this 28 car and we went out and got it done. We
were missing our crew chief Norm tonight but luckily we had every note he had.
Dad was on the wrenches tonight and this car was great,” Garcia said.
Jake Haulot of Cotati led time trials before two-time 2024 winner Tanner
Carrick of Lincoln and Garcia won the heat races. No dash was contested.
The 30-lap feature lined up Garcia and Carrick on the front row. Garcia led
the opening lap before the caution flew for Gilroy’s Kurt Nelson slowing in turn
four. On the restart, Haulot dropped out of the race suddenly and made the hard
right turn into the pits. Garcia fended off Carrick on the restart before action
slowed again on lap 13. 17 year-old Caleb Debem of Salinas and 16-year-old
Adrianna DeMartini of Brentwood collided on the front stretch, with DeMartini
slowing to draw the yellow.
Garcia and Carrick had accumulated a three second advantage over round three
winner Bud Kaeding of San Jose which was nullified by the caution flag. Debem
and Rickey Sanders of Watsonville made contact on the backstretch on lap 16 for
the next caution. Sanders was unable to continue with left front damage, while
Debem’s team made repairs and a right rear tire change to be able to rejoin the
race.
Kaeding took a brief look at second place on Carrick before surrendering the
position. Garcia darted to victory followed by Carrick, Kaeding, a resurgent
Kurt Nelson, and Chris Nelson.
The Hobby Stocks stole the show in their 20-lap feature with Bakersfield’s
Nicholas Johnson showing up just before feature time, starting at the back, and
storming to victory. DJ Keldsen of Newman led the first six laps with
fifth-starting Joe Gallaher closing in. The duo went side-by-side for the lead
on lap nine. Trent Golden of Pittsburg spun into the infield of turn three and
Elliot Heddensen of Hollister spun as well. Gallaher hit Heddensen head on,
ending his bid for the win.
Under caution, Keldsen had to exit the race and head to the pit area as well.
2020 IMCA Sport Modified track champion Adriane Frost of Watsonville assumed the
lead as a result. Johnson used the outside to charge past her on lap 14,
however. Johnson led the final six laps for victory ahead of Frost, Rob Gallaher,
Norm Ayers of Corralitos, and 2020 Antioch Speedway champion James Thomsen.
Brentwood’s Fred Ryland started on the outside pole of the 20-lap IMCA Sport
Modified feature and led every circuit for the victory. Watsonville’s Jeff Mead
finished a season-best second followed by Matt Hagio of Prunedale, Jason Ryan,
Jr. of Oakley, and Emali VanHoff of Chowchilla on her 18th birthday.
Four Banger track champion Jason Lazzerini had a hard-earned win in the
15-lap feature on Friday night. Joshua Silva of Watsonville led the first four
laps, then Peter Vannerus of Felton steered his No. 37 Truck to the lead.
Cautions on lap five and lap seven allowed the tenth starting Lazzerini to
approach the top spot. The top-three battled closely. Lazzerini attempted a
cross over on the backstretch to nab the lead. Vannerus swooped in for a slide
job and they made door to door contact. Vannerus held the lead on lap 10 before
Lazzerini finally completed the pass on lap 11.
The top-five finishers were Lazzerini, Vannerus, Amaya Flower of Watsonville,
Shelbie Freeman of Prunedale, and Bill Beardsley of Felton.
Kevin Elliott won an intense opening race for the 2024 season of
Police-in-Pursuit. The Scotts Valley Police Officer battled hard with Santa Cruz
County Sherrif AJ Waltrip. The pair collided in turn four on lap five, sending
Elliott spinning into a high center position on an infield tractor tire.
Elliott and Waltrip rejoined the race and muscled past Kimball Stanley of Los
Gatos Police Department. Elliott scored the exciting victory. Santa Clara Police
Officer Jerry Ogg returned from a pit stop to finish second with Waltrip
finishing third.
Racing action continues at Ocean Speedway this Friday night May 10 with Ocean

Written By: William Burkhart
Cody Bova would lead the opening laps of the Pine Tree Towing & Recovery Sprint feature with a Massive Battle in second between Brayton Phillips, Leyton Wagner, and Jordan Ryan. It looked to be Bova’s race until a yellow came out with 11 laps to go. On the restart Jordan Ryan threw a slider stacking up the top 4. Ryan would use that to his advantage to drive away with Porkchop’s Sweet Move Of The Race and continue onward to win his first sprint car feature of 2024.
As the Malcuit Tavern UMP Late Models would see quite the battle of titans. Kyle Moore would start on the pull with Rusty Schlenk beside him. Schlenk had speed but couldn’t seem to best Moore on his home Turf. JR Gentry also had an eventful evening starting from the 16th position and finishing 6th.
Patience would be the name of the game in the Flynn’s Tire & Auto Service UMP Modifieds. The feature started with a four car pileup. Thankfully the feature would resume with a full field. The rest of the feature would be a lot of stop and go with different cautions. 5 to go it was Jared Watson out in front with Nate Young Behind him. Young would throw a massive slide job on Watson but it Ultimately wouldn’t stick giving Watson the win.
A small battle would be the theme in The Glass House Super Stocks, round one King of The County presented by 71 Investments LLC. Brandon Morrow would get out the early lead. Charlie Duncan, Braden Tucke, and Denny Shear would throw down behind Morrow. Brandon would bring home the win after the 12-lap war a straightaway ahead.
Doug Hensel and Anthony Collins would lead the field to the green in the Joyride Transport Mini Stocks. After a wild mix up at the start Hensel’s 18 car couldn’t be stopped as he would lead all 12 laps to claim his first feature win of 2024.
Coming up Saturday May 4, Wayne County will host the MPD Performance BOSS Wingless Sprint series along with the Malcuit Tavern UMP Late Models, Flynn’s Tire & Auto Service Modifieds, The Glass House Super Stocks, and Joyride Transport Mini Stocks!

Smith, Thomas tally triumphs in rain-shortened PDTR season opener
Wet weather washes out Sprint Car main events
(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) April 27, 2024 – On an evening hampered by on-and-off rain showers, Plymouth Dirt Track Racing fired up the 2024 racing season in truncated fashion at a damp Plymouth Dirt Track in Plymouth, Wis. on Saturday, April 27.
After pressing through two separate rain delays, the third round of rain coupled with lightning brought the program to an early close with two of the four scheduled A-mains managing to make it to the checkered flag.
T.J. Smith of Greenville skillfully negotiated a slew of slower traffic to become the first Plymouth Dirt Track Racing A-main victor of the 2024 campaign in the 25-lap Oostburg Automotive Grand National main event.
In his first career appearance at The Plymouth Dirt Track, PDTR rookie Cole Thomas of Franklin delivered a standout debut performance on the way to victory in the Sheboygan Flooring 25-lap B Mod A main.
The first rain delay came shortly after the completion of the heat race competition in each of the four divisions. After the track was worked back into racing condition for the Grand National main event, the ensuing B Mod A main was halted for another rain shower on lap eight.
Another round of track manicuring during the second rain delay resulted in the completion of the B Mod main event. However, rain hit the track for a third time as the 106.5 The Buzz Autometer Wisconsin wingLESS Sprint Cars pushed off for A-main action, which led to the cancellation of the remainder of the season-opening racing program.
As a result, points and payout were evenly divided among the scheduled A-main starters in the Akright Auto Plymouth Dirt Track Racing 360 Sprint Car and the Wisconsin wingLESS Sprint Car divisions.
Outside front row starter T.J. Smith outdueled polesitter Brad Weiss of Cascade to take the lead of the 25-lap PDTR Grand National A main in turn two of the opening lap. Smith promptly built up a solid cushion at the head of the pack in the early going as fourth starter Dustin Weiss of Iron Ridge and Brad Weiss settled into second and third respectively.
On lap four, Smith already found himself negotiating slower traffic while maintaining a quarter-straightaway lead over Dustin Weiss. Four laps later, defending Grand National division co-champion Will Sorce of Franklin, who started third, slipped past Brad Weiss to assume third in the running order.
Smith got held up among a gaggle of slower cars on lap 11, which allowed Dustin Wess and Sorce to move in to challenge for the top spot. After Smith recovered to maintain a solid advantage, another swarm of lapped cars nearly caused the second-year PDTR 360 Sprint Car competitor and infrequent PDTR Grand National racer to surrender the lead as Dustin Weiss charged in to briefly duck underneath Smith in turn two on lap 21.
Once again, Smith rebounded to retain the top spot on the way to his second career PDTR Grand National A-main victory in the caution-free race, which was completed in a swift six minutes and fifty-six seconds.
Dustin Weiss had to settle for second, Sorce placed third, 2022 PDTR Grand National champion Luke Scholten of Oostburg, who started 10th, charged up to place fourth and two-time and defending PDTR Grand National champion Brian Gilles of Plymouth moved up from the 12th starting position to finish fifth.
Outside front row starter Cole Thomas got the jump on polesitter Brandon Knepprath of Boltonville to lead the opening lap of the B Mod A main. On lap 3, the first of four caution flags appeared when ninth starter Travis Schmidt of Plymouth spun in turn three.
Thomas controlled the ensuing restart with Knepprath holding down second and third starter Rory Welch of Plymouth running in third. Steve Lorier of Sheboygan, who started sixth, overtook Welch for third before the second caution was displayed for the stalled car of Hunter Larson of Oshkosh along the front stretch wall.
Following the next restart, Lorier moved past Knepprath into the runner-up spot as Thomas bolted away from the field. After two more cautions slowed the pace on lap 7 and lap 8, the first rain delay of the evening took hold.
After the completion of track restoration work, Thomas continued undeterred as he bolted away from the pack while seventh starter Barrett Hummelmeier of Beaver Dam powered past Lorier to take over second on lap nine.
Thomas, who has competed primarily on asphalt during his racing career, built up a big half-lap lead over Hummelmeier by lap 17 and weaved his way through slower traffic over the final five laps on the way to his first career PDTR B Mod A-main victory.
Hummelmeier placed second, Lorier wound up third, Travis Schmidt rebounded from his lap 3 spin to place fourth and Knepprath rounded out the top five.
T.J. Haddy of Waupun turned the overall fastest lap in Akright Auto Plymouth Dirt Track Racing 360 Sprint Car hot lap-heat race group qualifying in 12.883 seconds.
John Fahl of Brown Deer claimed the fast qualifier award in the 106.5 The Buzz Autometer Wisconsin wingLESS Sprint Car division with a lap of 13.755 seconds.
The first event of the 2024 PDTR campaign, which was sponsored by Vesta accounting, wealth, and financial advisory firm drew a total of 81 entries, including 23 PDTR 360 Sprint Cars, 23 Wisconsin wingLESS Sprint Cars, 20 Grand Nationals and 15 B Mods.
The next Plymouth Dirt Track Racing program on Saturday, May 4 will feature the 2024 Seubert Calf Ranches Super Six Late Model Series season opener, along with PDTR-MSA 360 Sprint Cars, Grand Nationals and B Mods.
Earlier start times will again be in place with pit gates opening at 2 p.m. grandstand gates opening at 4 p.m. and racing beginning at 5 p.m.
Weather information for all Plymouth Dirt Track Racing events will be posted on the Plymouth Dirt Track Racing Facebook, X (Twitter) and Instagram pages, as well as the Plymouth Dirt Track Racing website – www.plymouthdtr.com.

Miller sprints to IMCA RaceSaver East Coast Nationals win
CHILLICOTHE, Ohio (April 27, 2024) – The fourth time was a charm Saturday night for Chris Miller.
The Chillicothe speedster was first across the stripe every lap of the inaugural East Coast Nationals Chad Hyatt Memorial, collecting a $2K IMCA RaceSaver Sprint Car payday at hometown Atomic Speedway.
“This has been a race we’ve had our eves on for a while, but it got rained out twice last year and again last week,” Miller explained following his first checkers in three Ohio Thunder Sprint Series starts so far in 2024. “To pick up the win means a lot. We’ve been focused on this race for a while.”
Miller had run second in his heat and posted the second fastest time before lining up outside pole for the headline 30-lapper.
Owen Timm was briefly ahead before Miller regained the lead in lapped traffic. The final caution came with eight circuits to go and defending series champion Wyatt Justice made the race to the finish a close one after Miller got stuck on the lower line.
Justice, Timm, Rod Henning and Bradley Galeridge completed the top five.
Hyatt, a RaceSaver driver and race director for the Ohio Thunder series, had died had last August at the age of 54.
“He put a lot of work into his car and into this series. He was very passionate about it,” Miller said. “It’s a pretty cool thing to win this race. It means a lot to us. The beginning of the year as been a little bit challenging fighting engine and car issues.”
Drivers from Ohio as well as Pennsylvania and Indiana contended Saturday at Atomic.
Feature results – 1. Chris Miller; 2. Wyatt Justice; 3. Owen Timm; 4. Rod Henning; 5. Bradley Galeridge; 6. Jacob Gomola; 7. Caleb Erwin; 8. Jim Pattock; 9. James Moore; 10. Jaylynn Montgomery; 11. Jay Helton; 12. Chase Baker; 13. Jacob Beck; 14. Lee Clary; 15. Jarrett Rosencrance; 16. Ryan Broughton; 17. Lance Whaley; 18. Caleb Coffman; 19. John Paynter Jr.; 20. Hunter Hite; 21. Jason Young.

Dylan Shatzer Leads Only Last Half Lap for Win
Dylan Shatzer raced in the top three for the whole feature but was able to swoop
around the leader in traffic after taking the white flag in second and going on
to win. Heats kicked off the night after rains during the day and threats during
the night as well with Matt Klien, Zack Rhodes and Colton Hendershot taking wins
on the super heavy fast oval. On to the feature on a cool humid evening the
front row of Matt Klien and Ryan Lynn but in a twist of fate Klien stopped in
turn two with a broken rear axle which could have been a disaster at speed.
After clearing the car Croix Beasom and Ryan Lynn paced the field to green with
Beasom out first Lynn second and Shatzer third. Action would continue after a
red for three cars bicycling and stopping or flipped in turn one with Beasom out
again with Lynn and Shatzer on the really fast clay oval. Lap after lap they
chased each other as the pack behind them were changing every lap. As they
entered traffic with the laps running out it went bad for Lynn as a car they
were passing lost it and ended up collecting Lynn ending his night. Beasom was
out front again with Shatzer right with him and Drew Ritchey in third with two
to go they are now catching the back of the pack. Beasom lead with Shatzer
closing in as the white flag waving Beasom went under a car to lap them boxing
himself in and Shatzer went way high and swept around all of them in to the lead
and on to the win. At the line it was Dylan Shatzer, Croix Beasom, Drew Ritchey,
Kolby Weaver, Daren Bolac, Jerald Harris, Eathan Beasom, Dale Schweikert, Donnie
Hendershot, Kasey Weaver, Brad Mellot, Caleb Harris, Matthew Leach, John Smith,
Chris Ware, Ryan Lynn, Colton Hendershot, Aaron Leach, Ben Miklos, AJ Barton,
Hunter McFadden, Zach Rhodes, Donny Wise, Breaden Varner, Matt Kline and John
Scarborough.

Sumner, Illinois - Besting the field in his first start aboard the Chase
Briscoe Racing #5
machine, Karter Sarff picked up the Morrow Brothers Ford MOWA Sprint Car Series
feature win at Red Hill Raceway.
Leading flag-to-flag, Sarff surged to the lead from his pole position starting
spot and
never looked back. Behind Sarff, action was heating up as New Zealander Max

Late Models, Kevin Jinkerson with the Red Hawk Casino Pure Stocks and Mike Reeder with the Nor-Cal Dwarf Car Association. A strong crowd filled the grandstands and a packed pit area of 87 cars total helped us honor former Promoter Al Hinds at the event.
The 30-lap Thompson’s Family of Dealerships main event started out with Rio Linda’s Isaiah Vasquez setting a torrid pace up front in the Rod Tiner owner No. 83sa machine. The action was fast and furious in the feature with several movers and shakers throughout. Golobic bided his time early while utilizing his veteran experience and then pounced following a lap seven restart.
As Golobic now sat out front, 14th starting Landon Brooks had been making moves and drove up to second by the time a caution waved on lap nine. When going back to green Golobic held a steady lead until the race started to wind down. Brooks found speed late and closed right up on the leader with seven laps remaining, but tripped on the cushion, which gave Golobic the breathing room he needed.
After that all eyes on were on a tremendous battle for second that featured Brooks and 10th starting Dylan Bloomfield, along with 16th starter Justin Sanders right in the mix as well.
Golobic went on to accept the checkered flag for the $2,500 top prize and his 14th career Winged 360 triumph at Placerville Speedway. Bloomfield, Brooks, Sanders and Tanner Carrick completed the top-five. Rounding out the top-10 were Bubba Decaires, Shane Hopkins, Michael Faccinto, Tony Gomes and Joel Myers Jr. A stout field of 36 Sprint Cars competed at the Tribute to Al Hinds.
The Mountain Democrat Ltd. Late Models contested their second race of the season, and it was a first-time winner with Anthony Slaney bringing home the win. Rod Oliver hopped out to the early lead before Slaney overtook him on lap five. The Martinez driver then had his way with things up front and took the victory over Rod Oliver, Jay Norton, Tyler Lightfoot and Ray Trimble.
The Red Hawk Casino Pure Stocks showcased some of the best racing during the night, thrilling the crowd with several cars having a shot at victory in the main event. Orangevale’s Tommy Sturgeon was blazing fast early on and led the way over the Jinkerson brothers, Kevin and Dan.
Right around the halfway mark though Kevin Jinkerson sliced his way to the lead. Sturgeon stayed right with him until car issues ultimately left him parked on the infield. The closing circuits saw Kevin Jinkerson fend off brother Dan with Nick Baldwin right there in the hunt as well.
At the line Kevin Jinkerson won out for his ninth career Placerville Speedway win. Dan Jinkerson came home second, followed by Baldwin, Tyler Lightfoot and Jason Palmer.
The visiting Nor-Cal Dwarf Car Association began their 30th season competing at Placerville Speedway on Saturday night. In the end it was Placerville veteran Mike Reeder standing in victory lane for the first time in roughly 30-years at the track.
Rocklin driver Kevin “Hollywood” Bender sat out front much of the race, as side by side competition was seen often behind him. With just a few laps left however, he appeared to get a bit tight, and Reeder took advantage, cutting past him to make the winning move.
At the stripe in was Reeder over a fast-closing Kinser Endicott, Bender, Dylan Shrum and Shawn Whitney in the top-five. The remainder of the top-10 was filled out by Cody Shrum, Ben Wiesz, Dan Geil, Tim Dodson and Gage Meyers. A robust field of 27 Dwarf Cars competed at the Tribute to Al Hinds.
Placerville Speedway returns to action this coming Saturday May 4th with First Responders Night.

Henry rebounds with AFCS Fremont victory; Ivy earns 62nd Fremont win in 305s
Sunday, April 28, 2024
By Brian Liskai
FREMONT, Ohio – It’s said in racing in order to succeed you need to have a short memory. Have a bad night? Put it behind you and move to the next race. That held very true for Cap Henry Saturday, April 27 at Fremont Speedway Presented by Gill Construction.
Henry, who claimed the Fremont Speedway 410 sprint crown, the Attica Fremont Championship Series title and the Attica Raceway Park title in 2023, missed the feature Friday at Attica. He put it behind him on Level Performance/Gressman Powersports Night at Fremont, leading all 30 laps of the Fort Ball Pizza Palace 410 Sprint A-main to score the $4,000 payday.
Henry had to survive a late race caution to earn his 19th career victory at “The Track That Action Built.” He held off a charging Travis Philo, DJ Foos, last week’s winner Cale Thomas and Friday night’s Attica winner Skylar Gee to visit the Beaverdam Fleet Services Victory Lane.
“I never doubted Zack (Myers) and my guys. We’ve either been really fast or we shouldn’t be at the race track. It’s either we win it or don’t show up. Zack went through this thing front to back today. He never gives up. We really got lucky there at the end with the cautions. I had ripped off all the tear-offs that thing by like lap 10 and I was just hanging on,” said Henry of his Jeff Ward Demolition, Premier Planning Services, Ohio Logistics, Primal Tee Shop, Elliott’s Custom Trailers and Carts, FK Rod Ends, Griff’s Engines backed #33W.
Thomas’ fourth place run will keep him atop the All Pro Aluminum Cylinder Heads/Kistler Racing Products Attica Fremont Championship Series Presented by the Baumann Auto Group standings.
The Fremont Federal Credit Union 305 Sprint feature came down to the last lap. A caution necessitated a green-white-checkered finish and in the final corners on the last lap leader John Ivy and Friday night’s Attica winner Tyler Shullick raced side by side and banged wheels. Ivy held off Shullick for his 62nd career Fremont victory. Shullick, Jamie Miller, Bryan Sebetto and Seth Schneider rounded out the top five.
Ivy, who is now tied for fourth on Fremont’s all-time win list with Gug Keegan, put himself in contention for the title of the NAPA of Bryan AFCS presented by Jason Dietsch Trailer Sales.
“I saw Tyler stick his nose down there and I thought well I have to try something. I knew Tyler wouldn’t take me out…he’s a good racer and he will win his fair share. I just have to get as many as I can now…I’m not getting any younger,” said Ivy beside his C&N Construction Supplies, Atkinson Farm, Pub 400, Fox Painting, Sonny’s Machine & Welding, Kistler Racing Products, Level Performance, Rohr Total Lawn Care, Level Performance, Level Utilities, SC Atkinson Farms, MRE of Ohio, Welty Financial Services, Dave Story Equipment & Repair, Napa of Bryan, Minich Installations, Meade Motorcars backed #49i
Heavy rains struck the speedway just prior to the planned drivers’ meeting which caused an over three hour delay in getting the racing surface in shape. Because of the lateness, Fremont Speedway Promoter Rich Farm approached the Burmeister Trophy Dirt Truck teams about cancelling their portion of the night’s program in exchange for doubling their purse – from first in the A-feature to last in the B-feature - for next week and the majority of the teams were in agreement.
Fremont Speedway Presented by Gill Construction will be back in action on Family Fun Night, Saturday, May 4 with the dirt trucks, 305 sprints and the USAC D2 Midgets in action.
All events at Fremont Speedway Presented by Gill Construction in 2024 will be streamed on DirtVision.

Action Track Recap- Flick Tops Peoples Sprints
Sarver, PA (April 27, 2024) The sun was out and the pits were teeming with 88 cars on Friday night as round two of Fab4 Racing Revved Up with Marburger Farm Dairy rolled onto The Action Track, and the racing, which played out on a very racy surface, was as good as the weather that greeted fans and drivers alike. Defending track champion AJ Flick bested the 28 car field of Peoples Natural Gas Sprint Cars for his first feature win of the 2024 season, while the Crusher Kid..aka Michael Norris made it back to back victories with yet another feature win in Precise Racing Products Late Model action. Erick Rudolph made his way down from Ransomville, NY as he sometimes does in the early part of the season, and made the trip worth it once again, hitting pay dirt with a feature victory in the Diehl Automotive Big Block Modified main event while in the Millerstown Pic-A-Part Pro Stock main event, Tyler Dietz proved to be the class of the field once again, garnering his first feature win in the division this season.
Flick Powers His Way To Checkers
Having come up less than a second short to an Opening Night win after running down Brandon Spithaler in the closing laps a week ago, AJ Flick was determined as ever to find his way to Terry Bowser Excavating Victory Lane on Friday night. Flick started fourth on the grid on Friday night while former track champion Carl Bowser and New York invader Matt Farnham started on the front row of the 25 lap Peoples Natural Gas Sprint Car main event. And when the green flag waved, Flick wasted no time in challenging Bowser for the lead ahead of Farnham and Brandon Matus in the early going.
Bowser was setting a torrid pace up front on the top side of the speedway as Flick found himself shaving tenths of a second off per lap. Flick then started taking serious looks underneath Bowser, taking the lead on lap eight. Bowser would not go away quietly though as fought back to level with the race leader on occasion until the halfway mark. Behind the action up front, Michael Bauer began making moves towards the leaders from his eighth starting spot, with Bauer battling Matus for the fourth spot with 15 laps down. Meanwhile, Flick was stretching out an impressive lead before encountering heavy lapped traffic after building a three plus second lead. Bauer made his way around Matus for fourth at the flag stand with six laps to go while Flick managed his way through the lappers flawlessly until the caution flag waved with five laps left.
Flick led the field to the single file restart and would not be tested the rest of the way as Bowser took a solid second place finish and Bauer an impressive third, rounding out the podium.
“Honest to god, the biggest change tonight was between the hot laps and the heats,” Flick remarked. “I didn’t expect it to slick off as much as it did. It was odd because it wasn’t really wide but yet the actual racing groove was getting slick and starting to come in already. I missed it in the heat race, but come feature time it seems like we’re starting to dial it in a bit more. You just have to be maneuverable.”

Barney Continues Fulton Dominance; Wins ESS Opener
By Curtis Berleue (Fulton, NY) | The start of a new season brought a familiar face to victory lane Friday night at the Fulton Speedway for the Empire Super Sprints. Jason Barney picked up his first win of 2024 and fourth in his last five visits to the Oswego County oval after coming from his seventh starting position.
Pinnacle pole winner Davie Franek and Chad Phelps led the field to the initial start, though the field quickly slowed for a caution for the #68 of Aaron Turkey, a victim of circumstance from hard racing deep in the pack. On the ensuing restart, Davie Franek quickly jumped out to a sizeable lead over Matt Tanner and Phelps.
The field again slowed for a caution on lap 4, this time for Mike Bowman who found himself stopped facing the wrong way on the back stretch.
By lap 7, defending tour champion Jordan Poirier had entered the mix and was able to take the lead. For the next handful of laps, Poirier continued to grow the distance between himself and second place.
Jason Barney, who had moved into second on lap 8, began to close the gap between himself and Poirier on lap 11 when Poirier reached lap traffic. He was ultimately able to use lap traffic to take the lead as the field came to complete lap 19, and never looked back on his way to victory lane.
“I was running out of time and running out of chances as the race went on,” said Barney in victory lane. “Before that last restart I kind of found the middle, and I rolled by Jordan (Poirier) there. I knew he wasn’t going to let that happen again. He went right to the middle and I just had to keep searching around.”
“He made it interesting, I wasn’t sure what to do there, I could tell he wasn’t sure to do either and I just stuck it down on the bottom and hoped that we didn’t touch.”
Defending champion Jordan Poirier led a handful of laps early on, and was able to hold on for a second place finish.
“My car was really, really good. I just took a safe lap around a lap car, and Jason slid under me there,” said Poirier. “We struggle with these kind of conditions, so it feels good to have something to build on for the next few races for sure.
Rounding out the Ashley Lynn Winery podium was hometown favorite Larry Wight.
“We were a little bit tight on the bottom, we just had to move around to find out what the car liked,” said Wight. “I don’t know, even if we had a caution, these guys were in clean air and setting a really good pace. We just needed the lap cars to fall my way a little better.”
36 cars signed in to the pits for the 2024 season opener. Rifenburg Contracting fast time awards went to Danny Varin, Jordan Thomas, Jonathan Preston and Jason Barney. E&V Energy heat race wins went to Matt Tanner, Davey Franek, Dylan Swiernik, and Kelly Hebing.

BUD KAEDING PREVAILS DURING THIRD OCEAN SPRINTS RACE IN WATSONVILLE
WATSONVILLE, CALIFORNIA (April 27, 2024) – Bud Kaeding of San Jose steered the No. 29 to victory in Friday night’s third round for the Ocean Sprints presented by Taco Bravo at the Ocean Speedway in Watsonville. Kaeding won the series finale last August and returned to form as part of a four-division program at the Santa Cruz County Fairgrounds.
Lincoln’s Tanner Carrick dominated time trials in search of his third consecutive win. Kaeding then won the dash for the pole position for the 30-lap feature.
Jason Chisum of Salinas flipped side over side on the backstretch to bring out the red flag on the opening salvo. Carrick had used the outside line to soar past Kaeding for the lead before the stoppage.
On the redo, Kaeding used his veteran skill to drive to the top to keep hold of the leading and halting Carrick’s progress. A caution flag on lap four gave Clovis’ Dominic Gorden an opening. Gorden went inside Carrick for second, then charged past Kaeding on the outside in turn four to lead lap five.
Gorden and Kaeding accumulated a strong advantage over six seconds ahead of Carrick in lapped traffic before action slowed with a caution on lap 16. Gorden’s dominance on the top line bit back on the restart when he slid off the edge of turn two and out of the lead.
Kaeding assumed the point and never relinquished it over the final 14 laps for the win. Carrick finished second for his third consecutive podium. Central Point, Oregon’s Garen Linder finished third ahead of teenagers Caleb Debem and Seth Standley.
2017 IMCA Sport Modified track champion Matt Hagio of Prunedale topped a 17-car field for the win in Friday’s 20-lap feature. Outside pole sitter Jeff Mead of Watsonville stumbled into turn one and stacked up the field, dropping Mead back to sixth in the process. 2023 track champion Chuck Golden of Pittsburg emerged from the battling in second place with a 2.1 second deficit to Hagio. The deficit was erased by a caution flag on lap nine.
The caution flew again on lap 12 followed by a red flag for hard contact between Mike Gill and Brian Baggett on lap 13. They were uninjured. The final caution came on lap 16, but Hagio held on for the win. Mark Garner of Antioch overhauled Golden for second. Watsonville’s Steven Allee and Morgan Hill’s Jim DiGiovanni rounded out the top-five.
A father-son extravaganza highlighted the Hobby Stocks action. 2023 track champion Joe Gallaher won a tight heat race fight over his son, 2019 champion Rob Gallaher, by just .064 seconds.
In the 20-lap feature, Rob Gallaher had the advantage of starting on the pole. He paced a very closely matched top-six drivers until trouble struck on lap 15. Gallaher got tight in the cushion in turn one and the ensuing fracas gathered up Shane Freeman of Prunedale and 2020 IMCA Sport Modified champion Adriane Frost of Watsonville.
Rob Gallaher maintained the lead and drove to the win followed by Joe Gallaher, DJ Keldsen of Newman, Bobby Gallaher, and Cody Keldsen of Watsonville.
Jason Lazzerini of Moss Landing staged another dominating performance in the Four Bangers division after 15 laps of main event action. Watsonville’s Joshua Silva led the first three laps but mechanical issues plagued his event.
Race two winner Thomas Cumming finished second followed by Kate Beardsley of Felton, Peter Vannerus, and Bill Beardsley.
Ocean Speedway races again on Friday night May 3 with Ocean Sprints presented by Taco Bravo, IMCA Sport Mods, Hobby Stocks, Four Bangers, and Police in Pursuit competing.

Gee gets thrilling 410 Attica win; Schlenk slices to late model victory, Shullick earns 1st 305 win
Saturday, April 27, 2024
By Brian Liskai
ATTICA, Ohio – Skylar Gee not only held off challenges from Tim Shaffer and Brady Bacon and a late race caution, but the Canadian driver also defeated Mother Nature Saturday, April 26 at Attica Raceway Park on Baumann Auto Group/Craig Miller Trucking/North Central Electric/Bucyrus Road Materials Night.
Following two rain delays, Gee, aboard the Fenton Racing #99, started seventh in the Callie’s Performance Products 410 Sprint Feature that featured position changes throughout the field during the 30-lap affair. Gee worked his way into second just past the half-way point behind leader Tim Shaffer and used lapped traffic to take the lead on lap 18. Brady Bacon was closing late in the race when the caution flew with just four laps to go. Gee utilized the clear track to drive to his third career win at Attica over Bacon, Emerson Axsom and Dale Blaney.
“I made the move for second and the yellow came out and I was a little worried. I struggled to get going after that and finally got a rhythm back and was able to get by Shaffer when he got slowed up. There were so many guys criss-crossing everywhere on the track. Thanks to my dad and Rog for working hard all week. We’ve had our teeth kicked in the past couple of weeks so it feels good to rebound like this. I have to thank Logan and Becky for standing behinds us,” said Gee beside his Warrior Building Development, Building Packages Direct, Pack Rat Dumpsters, Castle Rock Enterprises, Pat Beck Motorsports, FK Rod Ends, Nelson Brothers backed machine.
The Dirt Nerds Podcast presented by Propane UMP Late Model feature was also very entertaining featuring side by side battled throughout the 25 lap affair. Clint Coffman lead the opening lap before defending track champion and fourth starter Devin Shiels took over. The lone caution came on lap three and once the green flew, the battles up front continued. Seventh starter Rusty Schlenk used lapped traffic to take the lead with just seven laps to go and picked his way through dense traffic for his 39th career late model win at Attica over Shiels, Doug Drown, Nathon Loney and Mike Bores.
“That was a heck of a race. That was quite the battle. I knew I had to be patient. Devin was really good…I didn’t think I could pass him in the open so I had to be patient and save my stuff and hope to God we would get into lapped traffic and that’s exactly how it worked out. I got lucky and picked through lapped traffic a little better than he did. It doesn’t seem like that long I ago I got my first win here. I love this place. It always turns out you can race all over this place,” said Schlenk beside his Buckeye Concrete Coatings, Terry Henricks Auto Group, Velocita USA, Dominator Race Products, Tom Finch Auto, Domination Race Cars, All Star Performance supported #91.
The Fremont Fence 305 Sprint feature saw five different lead changes between Tyler Shullick and Steve Rando during the 25 lap event that saw only one caution. Shullick bolted into the initial lead but fourth-starter Rando used heavy lapped traffic to close and take the lead on lap 11 only to see Shullick drive back by the next circuit. Rando blasted back into the lead on lap 17 but Shullick maintained his composure and took it back a lap later. A caution with just six laps to go would see defending track champion Jamie Miller challenge Shullick and Rando for the lead on the restart. Shullick moved his line to the high side and drove away to his first Attica win over Rando, Miller, Bryan Sebetto and Jimmy McGrath.
“I knew when I saw Rando…Rando only runs one line and that’s on the catch fence. So I figured Rando is here so there’s something up there. I took his line for a few laps. I want to thank Sonny (Conger)….it’s his birthday so I hope he’s watching from home. He’s done a lot for me. Atkinson Farm, Griff’s Engines and Machine, LR Custom Karts, my mom and dad, Sam Kontos…I put a lot of trust in him. I live and die by making a lot of calls and I just follow his suit now and we work really well together,” said Shullick.
After Friday’s event, the point battles in the All Pro Aluminum Cylinder Heads/Kistler Racing Products Attica Fremont Championship 410 Series Presented by the Baumann Auto Group and the NAPA of Bryan Attica Fremont Championship 305 Series Presented by Jason Dietsch Trailer Sales have tightened up.
Attica Raceway Park will be back in action Friday, May 3 with the UMP Late Models going for $3,000 to win with the 305 Sprints and dirt trucks in action as well.

Sweigart high-rides to Port victory
Two weeks ago, Nick Sweigart committed to the high side of Port Royal Speedway’s
racing surface, and while his racing line thrilled the crowd, he needed some
late attrition among other front-runners for it to result in a fourth-place
finish in the River Valley Builders PA Sprint Series makeup of the 2023 Keystone
RaceSaver Challenge.
This week was very different. Hanging high – and hitting the wall once – the Myerstown veteran shot from his sixth starting position into second on the opening lap, then got past early leader Ken Duke of Selinsgrove at the beginning of lap three. From that point on, the Williams Racing Devin Friese Home Improvements/Matt Brown Trucking/Backwoods Diesel #89 was atop the “Speed Palace” leaderboard, and despite Sweigart’s critical appraisal of his driving over the last half of the race, he held his lead in traffic and scored a 2.159-second victory over defending PASS Champion Logan Spahr of Lewisberry, who took the runner-up spot from Duke on the final circuit of the 20-lap feature.
The feature ran nonstop and was completed in less than seven minutes. Only three of the 26 starters failed to finish, including Fred Arnold of Richfield, who stopped within sight of the checkered flag on the final lap.
It was Sweigart’s first PASS victory since the 2021 Founders Cup race for Keystone RaceSaver Challenge non-qualifiers (a race that doesn’t count in Sweigart’s career totals), after which he left RaceSaver competition, only to return midway through last season in the Williams car. Officially, the win is Sweigart’s 10th with PASS and the first for the Williams team. It was his sixth career win at Port Royal, where Penns Valley Meat Market sponsors the series. He is the leading active driver in Port wins in a RaceSaver sprint.
In victory lane, Sweigart thanked the Williams family multiple times for allowing him to return to IMCA/RaceSaver/PASS competition. He also thanked the team for giving him such a strong car.
And it was strong, also taking the win from fifth starting position in his heat race. This week several drivers committed to the high line, and some were rewarded with good finishes, but on a track that had already held up under 170 green-flag laps prior to the PASS feature, no one could match Sweigart.
In a 25-lap feature, Spahr might have had a chance. Starting seventh, he wasn’t an early mover, but the Eshenaur #5 came on late, splitting Kruz Kepner of Kreamer and Mike Melair of Warrington for third with one late-race pass and then edging Duke for second at the end.
Duke, who committed to running the bottom, was consistently strong all night and finished third, with race-long top-five runners Kepner and Melair fourth and fifth.
Completing the top ten were Doug Dodson of Middletown, Austin Reed of Etters, who advanced from 12th to seventh, Dustin Young of Danville, Seth Schnoke of Pine Grove, who earned the Penns Valley Meat Market Hard Charger Award with his charge from 16th to ninth, and Zach Rhodes of McVeytown.
With 40 RaceSaver teams in attendance (out of a three-division total of 105 cars in the pits), qualifying was tough. Reed, Sweigart, Spahr, and Melair won the eight-lap heat races, and Jeffrey Weaver of Lock Haven won the B-Main.
Reed came from eighth starting spot to win his heat, and only one of the heat winners started on the first two rows of his race.
The most serious incident of the night came on the opening lap of the third heat, when Colton Hoover of Richfield spun in turn four and was tagged by Buddy Schweibinz of Petersburg, N.J., who had set fast overall time in hot laps. Both drivers were uninjured, but the cars were done for the night.
That race also saw a qualifying effort of note. Rookie Kolby Weaver of Everett (brother of Kasey Weaver, who began running RaceSavers last year), started last but was able to move up when the field was scrambled after the Hoover-Schweibinz incident, and from there he held his own and earned a fifth-place finish, qualifying for the feature in only has second PASS race.
This Saturday, the River Valley Builders PASS tour makes its first stop of the season at Selinsgrove Speedway. The limited late models will run a 20-lap “topless” feature, while the RaceSavers and road runner stocks will run full programs fully clothed (sheet-metaled).
PASS is dedicated to the heritage of RaceSaver with stable and enforceable rules, consistent rules application and fair purse distribution paying 24th place one half of first place.

LOGAN MITCHELL PREVAILS FOR FIRST WMR WIN AT BAKERSFIELD
BAKERSFIELD, CALIFORNIA (April 21, 2024) – For the second consecutive Western Midget Racing event, a first-time winner emerged in victory lane on Saturday night. 2023 series runner-up Logan Mitchell of Santa Cruz prevailed at Bakersfield Speedway after a 20-lap contest on the one-third mile dirt track.
“This means a lot. We’ve been through a lot the last three years to get to this point,” Mitchell said. “I was on his butt. I was like ‘can’t be patient anymore. Got to go!’ He slipped up a little bit, I drove it in hard, and never looked back.”
Adam and David Teves shared the front row for the feature event, while heat race winners Bryant Bell of Oakley and Anthony Bruno of San Jose shared the third row.
Adam Teves in the No. 6s paced the opening 11 circuits of competition with Mitchell in close pursuit. Mitchell found an opening on the backstretch, sneaking past to lead lap 12 in car No. 96x.
2023 champion Bell moved past Teves as well to finish second. Teves was third at the checkered flag followed by Lodi’s Nate Wait and Moorpark’s Todd Hawse.

Justin Sanders goes back-to-back with the SCCT 360s
By Gary Thomas
Merced, CA…Aromas driver Justin Sanders raced to his 10th career Sprint Car Challenge Tour victory on Saturday at Merced Speedway, moving into sole possession of second all-time.
“I want to thank Dale and Tara Miller for all the support and giving me a great opportunity to drive this race car,” Sanders said in victory lane. “We’ve had a strong start to the season and hopefully we can keep it up as the week’s go on.”
Sanders jumped into the lead at the waving of the green flag and had his way with things out front. Early on things were exciting as cars ran high and low on the quarter mile bullring. Heavy daytime winds created a drying surface however, as rubber became prevalent towards the later stages.
Sanders ultimately led flag to flag in the 35-lap contest to bring home victory over Fremont’s Shane Golobic, Penngrove’s Chase Johnson, Clovis’ Dominic Gorden and Mesa, Arizona’s Corbin Rueschenberg. Kaleb Montgomery, Ashton Torgerson, Isaiah Vasquez, DJ Netto and Tony Gomes rounded out the top-10. Netto earned the Pit Stop USA Hard Charger Award with his drive from 17th to ninth.
Next up for the Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour is the Mel & Marlyn Hall Memorial at Marysville Raceway on Saturday May 25th.

Cale Thomas finally exercises demons to take Fremont Speedway win; Jamie Miller takes 305 and truck victories
Saturday, April 20, 2024
By Brian Liskai
FREMONT, Ohio – Cale Thomas could have had two wins in the 2024 racing season but mechanical woes cost him. The Fairland, Indiana driver finally had a race day go his way, claiming the 410 sprint feature win to open the season at Fremont Speedway presented by Gill Construction Saturday, April 20 on Fort Ball Pizza Palace Night.
Thomas, aboard the Jay Kiser Racing #23, took the lead from Larry Kingseed on lap three of the 30-lap Fort Ball Pizza Palace 410 Sprint A-main, was patient in lapped traffic and drove to his second career win at “The Track That Action Built.” Defending Fremont Speedway champion Cap Henry, Zeth Sabo, Craig Mintz and Zane DeVault rounded out the top five.
The win also makes Thomas a clear threat to dethrone Cap Henry in the hunt for the title of the All Pro Aluminum Cylinder Heads-Kistler Racing Products Attica Fremont Championship Series presented by the Baumann Auto Group as the series begins its sixth season.
“I didn’t know how close Cap was but I felt like I was doing what I was supposed to do in getting through lapped traffic the way I did. When you have a guy like Cap Henry behind you he will pounce on any little mistake you make so I’m always thinking is this a good corner…should I be doing this…do I need to change this. I just kept doing my fundamentals and staying after it. This could have been our third win this year….we definitely needed this,” said Thomas in the Beaverdam Fleet Services Victory Lane beside his Spanky’s Pizza, Shelluke’s Bar & Grill, Automatic Fire Protection, Ohio Refrigeration, Engler Machine, BH 41, TMH Holdings, Berryman Racing Shocks, Keizer Wheels backed machine.
Jamie Miller usually doesn’t like slick race tracks. But, after waging a terrific battle the last two thirds of the 25-lap Fremont Federal Credit Union 305 Sprint feature with Tyler Shullick, Miller took the lead for good on lap 21 and drove to his 45th career victory at Fremont. Zack Kramer led the first six laps before fourth starter Miller took over. Tyler Shullick worked the low line to grab the lead with 10 laps to go, but Miller was patient and charged back to the point on lap 21 and drove to the win. Shullick, Kramer, Paul Weaver and Dustin Stroup would round out the top five.
With the win, Miller, who also picked up a win at Attica Raceway Park this season, looks to stop Weaver from recording a sixth straight title with the NAPA of Bryan AFCS presented by Jason Dietsch Trailer Sales.
“This definitely isn’t my cup of tea as far as track conditions but we were pretty good tonight…I’ll take it. The car was just getting better and better and then we got into traffic and it never really changed. I was good in dirty air, clean air so I was just kind of biding my time and he (Shullick) was getting hung up and I got back there and held her for all she was worth to try and park it up here,” said Miller of his Boca Construction, JLH General Contractors, Kenny Kolb Farms, Tuck Pointing America, Queen of Clean, Smitty’s Pizza, Roberts & Sons Contracting, Pizza Wheel, Crown Battery, Reedtown Tavern, Fostoria Mod Shop, Sandy’s Dad, Gressman Powersports, Phil Rister, Slade Shock Technology backed #26.
Not content with just one feature win for the night, Miller proceeded to take the lead on lap eight of the 20-lap Burmeister Trophy Dirt Truck feature and drive to his 46th career feature win at Fremont Speedway. David Gumby led the first seven laps of the caution-filled feature before sixth starter Miller drove under for the lead. Miller, who now sits ninth on the track’s all-time win list, survived several late race cautions for the victory over Keith Sorg, Dustin Keegan, Kent Brewer and Kevin Phillips.
“I tried the top and the truck didn’t like it so I slowed down and rolled the infield tires and got ahold of something,” said Miller beside his Fostoria Mod Shop, Ron Miller Race Cars backed #4M.

Odessa, MO. (4/20/24) Wesley Smith would shine through high side hustling in
the Second Annual Rod End Supply Open Wheel Classic presented by Start2Finish
feature event at I-70 Speedway with the POWRi WAR Sprint League running in
conjunction with the Midwest Wingless Racing Association as well as the Western
Iowa Non-Wing Sprints; to notch the season-opening victory.
Racing onto the speedy surface with twenty-one talented entrants of
traditional sprinters would see Wesley Smith set a quickest hot-lap time of
16.354-second lap with Cam Shafer, Samuel Wagner, and Wyatt Burks each earning
heat racing victories.
Mesmerizing the crowd on the initial green flag start with high-point
qualifier Cam Shafer and Samuel Wagner lined up in the front row as Samuel
Wagner would gain the lead on the opening lap with Riley Kreisel, Xavier Doney,
Wesley Smith, and Wyatt Burks all raced within the top five.
Leading the field for the first twelve laps, Samuel Wagner would appear to be
the fastest driver on the smooth track with Xavier Doney sliding into the second
spot as Wesley Smith rounded out the podium placements.
Overtaking briefly for the preferred spot, Xavier Doney would use a high side
line to overtake Wager for first as Wesley Smith kept track of the leading pair
as the laps began to wind down with Wyatt Burks and Kobe Simpson battling to
stay within the top running contention.
Late race dramatics would be displayed with a battle waged for the top spot
as Wesley Smith would smoke the competition to take the hard-fought victory
after an intense and action packed twenty-five lap feature event to notch his

Racing Association as well as the Western Iowa Non-Wing Sprints at I-70 Speedway
in the Second Annual Rod End Supply Open Wheel Classic presented by Start2Finish

“That was a lot of fun, I've always wanted to run the top side of I-70 and I
think we just put on one of the best races at this place,” said victorious
Wesley Smith in the Odessa, Missouri victory lane celebrations. Adding, "The
choose cone really comes into play with how we think about restarts, I'm a big
fan of it but tonight I was needing that single file restart with the long run
of green.”
Challenging closely behind would find Samuel Wagner placing on the final
podium placement from the starting second on the initial green flag. Kobe
Simpson would be among the frontrunners all feature to hard-charge his way to
finish fourth as Wyatt Burks would round out the top-five finishers for the

Tanner Carrick fends off late challenge to earn second straight Ocean Sprints win Friday
By Gary Thomas
Watsonville, CA…Tanner Carrick made the trip down from Lincoln pay off for the second consecutive Friday, as he claimed victory over a fast-closing Dominic Gorden in the 30-lap Ocean Sprints presented by Taco Bravo finale.
“I could hear Dominic Gorden coming a few times, but it was so hard to leave the bottom because I felt really good there,” Carrick commented afterwards. “It’s been a solid start to the season for us with some wins and consistent finishes. I can’t thank my entire team enough for busting their tails to get these race cars so good.”
Sharing victory lane at Ocean Speedway on Friday night were Cody Burke with the IMCA Modifieds, Joe Gallaher with the Hobby Stocks and first-time winner Thomas Cumming in the Four Banger division.
The Ocean Sprints presented by Taco Bravo main event saw Carrick jump out front after winning the six-lap Dash prior to that. Early on Penngrove’s Chase Johnson kept him honest up front until Dominic Gorden sliced past to secure second on lap eight.
The 18-year-old from Clovis found the high scary side to his liking and relentlessly ripped the lip around quarter mile. Several caution periods slowed the flow of the contest however, but through it all Carrick remained calm, cool and collected up front. Gorden continued his pursuit and when the white flag waved, he had a run.
Heading into the final corners Gorden blasted to the top, but Carrick was able to beat him to the line by just a car length or so. Gorden had to settle for a runner up result for the second straight Friday, while Campbell’s Bud Kaeding rounded out the podium. Last season’s Rookie of the Year Caleb Debem finished fourth with Oakdale’s Brad Dillard getting a nice fifth place result.
Drake Standley, Chase Johnson, Mariah Ede, Rickey Sanders and Orville Burke completed the top-10. Heat race wins went to Kaleb Montgomery, Drake Standley and Caleb Debem. Tanner Carrick earned fast time to start the evening with a lap of 11.354 seconds, topping the top-20 car field.
The 25-lap IMCA Modified feature entertained the crowd on hand with some fantastic racing all throughout the field. Salinas driver Cody Burke jumped out front and set the pace over the beginning stages. Fellow Salinas wheel-man Robert Marsh hounded him and took command on lap five.
With 12-circuits complete Burke then battled his way back to the lead before Marsh encountered unfortunate issues on lap 18 that ended his feature. The Salinas trend continued in the main event as Bobby Hogge picked cars off one by one and found himself in second with the race winding down.
A late restart gave him a shot, but Burke ran a perfect race up front and grabbed the win over Hogge, Jim Pettit II, Anthony Slaney and Jacob Mallet Jr.
The Hobby Stocks also put on an excellent 20-lap feature that saw pack racing for much it. Track conditions were perfect for the stock cars as racers ran high, low and in the middle. Trent Golden of Pittsburgh and Dakota Keldsen of Watsonville battled side-by-side for the lead during several laps to begin the contest.
While that was going on cars behind them also fought it out looking to make their way forward. Keldsen held the point until halfway, when week one winner and defending track champion Joe Gallaher then motored by. Gallaher pulled away but the action behind him remained heated with Adrianne Frost scooping up second with just five laps remaining.
Gallaher picked up the win over Frost, Golden, Norm Ayers and Keldsen.
The 15-lap Four Banger also provided some thrills of their own during the second race of the season at Ocean Speedway. Tony Gullo led the early laps until San Jose driver Thomas Cumming carved his way to the top-spot. Cumming went on to accept his first career victory over Jason Lazzerini, Amaya Flower, Gullo and Peter Vannerus.
Ocean Speedway in Watsonville returns to action this coming Friday April 26th.

Pirtek Renegades
New Richmond, WI, April 13, 2024
Mid-summer like conditions greeted the traditional sprints of the Pirtek Renegades who returned to their home stomping grounds for the second event of the 2024 season at Cedar Lake Speedway in New Richmond, Wisconsin. Eighteen cars were on hand to qualify in a pair of heat races, with the Adams Estates/Kiki’s Salsa heat #1 going to Cam Schafer, while Jake Kouba nabbed the win in the James Ackerley Construction/Rapid Press heat race #2. Schafer bested all drivers amassing 130 passing points advancing from his seventh starting position to win his qualifier.
Brad Cunningham and Zach Nelson paced the field for the start of the Pirtek feature, with Cunningham scored as the leader after the first circuit. With five laps in the books, Schafer had taken over the top spot, leaving Jake Kouba and Cunningham dueling for runner-up ahead of Bryan Roach and Nelson. Keen spectators may have noted the #93 of Brad Petereson. Unable to complete his heat race due to a temperamental carburetor, “Surfin’ Safari” started 17th on the grid, and had surfed his way up to sixth by the crossed flags. A lap 15 caution bunched up the field with Schafer poised to score his second consecutive win, but Kouba wrestled away the top spot with three to go, and fended off myriad challenges from Schafer to secure his parking spot in Pirtek victory lane. Behind Kouba, it was Schafer, Roach, Peterson, and Zach Widdes rounding out the top five.
The Pirtek Renegades next event will be Friday and Saturday, April 19 and 20, when both the winged and traditional sprints descend on CLS as part of Cedar Lake’s Legendary Opener. More information on upcoming events for the Pirtek Renegades, as well as links to other Renegades series, can be found at www.umsprints.com, or on facebook.

Late restart helps Moran to 2nd straight USL victory
By John Rittenoure
KELLYVILLE, Oklahoma (April 13, 2024) - Rees Moran is quickly establishing himself as someone you will have to deal with if you want to win a Ortco, Inc. United Sprint League presented by Same Day Auto Repair series event.
After winning the Hero 100 season opener two weeks ago, Moran took advantage of a late race restart Saturday at Creek County Speedway to take the lead and post his second straight victory on Autism Awareness Night.
Defending champion Johnny Kent led the opening lap of the main event giving way to Brock Cottrell on lap two. Meanwhile Moran, who started eighth, was working his way through the pack and roared into third on lap 11. On lap 18 Moran moved to second and closed on Cottrell. The yellow flag waved on lap 26 and that was the opportunity Moran needed. Moran wheeled his Bob Hurley RV number 22 sprinter into the lead and led the final five laps to the checkered. Cottrell held on to second followed by Kyle Clark, Joshua Tyre and Tim Kent.
Moran also earned the D&G Contracting Hard Charger award for advancing seven positions. Elizabeth Phillips won the Speed Stix Shocks first heat, Clark picked up $100 for winning the Kent Fireworks second heat, and veteran Danny Smith captured the Morton Excavating third heat.

Donnie Hendershot Takes Opener at the Bridge
On a windy sunny day Donnie Hendershot flew like a wind to fly to finish
first in the season opening race. Heats kicked off the show with
John Scarborough and Daren Bolac taking wins. Feature time was up as the sun was
gone and the winds died down with Donnie Hendershot and Jerald Harris pacing the
field to green. Hendershot used the low line to gain the lead with Harris
staying high but John Scarborough was already in the opening laps using the low
line and was on Harris quickly. Scarborough made it to second as Hendershot
continued out front with the laps winding down as traffic was coming up allowing
Scarborough to close in. With the white flag waving Scarborough was within
striking distance as he made the final push but Hendershot stayed strong
streaking under the waving checkered flag. At the line it was Donnie Hendershot,
John Scarborough, Jerald Harris, Caleb Harris, Matthew Leach, Dylan Shatzer,
Daren Bolac, Glenn Worrell, Aaron Leach, Mia Koponen, Chris Humblet, Jimmy
Humblet and French Grimes.

Goodyer Leads The Lap That Counts
By Sprintcars Australia
Tasmanian Jock Goodyer added a second Australian Sprintcar Championship to his credit in dramatic style at the Avalon Raceway with a last lap pass to secure his maiden Australian Pro Sprintcar Championship. After trailing local Jake Smith for 39 laps Goodyer dove to the inside of turn 1 and came away with a spectacular win and in the process, he joined Robbie Farr and Jamie Veal as the only drivers to have captured the #1 in both Open and 360 / Pro Sprintcar competition.
“Firstly, I have got to thank Domain for allowing me to drive this car and Hayden to making the right calls tuning it up. During the race I couldn’t believe how good the #72 (Smith) was through the traffic. I just couldn’t bridge the gap. Then I felt the rubber come in and I kept looking at the lap counter, so I knew it was my last chance, so I drove it hard in there. The rubber was hard to catch but I got it just right. Honestly, I was in the best position being second as I could see where he was running but I left it the last opportunity and we got it done.”
“To win both Titles is pretty cool. In fact, I have now won all three of the winged classes when you add in the F500 Title, so maybe it’s time to retire now I have won them all” joked the new Australian Pro Sprintcar Champion.
Goodyer is also the second driver to claim a podium in both Championships, with his victory backing up his third placing in the 410ci Championship at Warrnambool in January.
Despite leading 39 laps and not getting the win runner-up Jake Smith was still elated with his performance having finished on the podium on both nights.
“I’m stoked to finish second. It’s not like they guy who beat me is a hack. Jock is one of the best going around. The car was so good in the lapped traffic. Australia #2 doesn’t have the same ring as Australia #1, but we put on a good show. We will just have to go to Simpson and get the number 1 there next year” commented the quietly spoken runner-up.
The final spot on the podium went to Tim Van Ginneken, who charged from position nine on the starting grid. This was an outstanding result considering that he didn’t think he would even be competing at this year’s Championship.
“To be honest after everything that I have gone through I just wanted to finish. If it wasn’t for our sponsors and my crew, I would have been sitting on the hill watching. On the opening lap I passed about three cars, and I thought this will do, I will just sit here, but as it played out the car was that good, I got onto the podium” added Tim following the race.
For Van Ginneken this was his second on the podium after finishing as the runner-up in the Title at Kalgoorlie in 2019.
Just off the podium was four times Champion Ryan Jones who recovered well after starting from position 12 while Victorian Matthew Symons was the first LS powered Pro Sprintcar across the line in fifth. After running in a podium position for a majority of the race Daniel Pestka faded back to sixth late in the race with Chris Soloman finishing in seventh place.
Defending National Champion Mark Caruso finished a creditable eighth considering he had no brakes for a majority of the final while Josh Buckingham and Ricky Maiolo completed the top 10. Rounding out the finishers were Paul Solomon, Brodie Davis, Andy Hibbert, Michael Tancredi, Mitch Smith, Shane Steenholdt, Steven Loader and Phil Micallef.
Only two drivers were officially classified as non-finishers with Brett Milburn and Tate Frost failing to greet the chequered flag. At certain stages of the race both Milburn and Frost ran as high as third in the standings with Milburn spinning in turn 3 on lap 9 while Frost rolled on the front straight on lap 18 after contact with the slower car of Phil Micallef.
Earlier the final five heat races, a C-Main and a Last Chance Qualifier (B-Main) were conducted with the drivers producing plenty of action for the sizeable crowd on hand. Ryan Davis, Kinser Claridge, Jake Smith, Steven Loader, and Dillon Siely all capturing a heat win. For Siely it was his second heat of the weekend having secured a heat win on the opening night.
Nigel Laity, Travis Miller, Adam Greenwood and Shane Steenholdt transferred from the C-Main into the B-main while Andy Hibbert, Mitch Smith, Steve Loader joined Steenholdt, who ran the alphabet, tagged onto the back of the Main event after an epic 20 lapper that took close to 30 minutes to complete due to the number of red light stoppages and a fence repair. Those to go upside down included Dillon Siely, who forced the fence repair, Kinser Claridge and Brett Smith.
Sprintcars Australia would like to thank the Avalon Raceway, Paul Solomon from Dirt X Industries and the competitors for their support throughout the running of the 2024 Australian Pro Sprintcar Championship and they look forward to the 2025 event to be held at the Simpson Speedway.
Paul Nienhiser Makes History With Dominant Sprint Invaders Win at 34 Raceway!
(Bill W) West Burlington, IA, April 13, 2024 – Paul Nienhiser dominated Saturday’s Mohrfeld Solar Sprint Invaders event at 34 Raceway in West Burlington, Iowa. It was the second year in a row that Nienhiser has won the opener for the series. In addition, he tied Matt Rogerson and Jerrod Hull with his fifth career Sprint Invaders win at 34 Raceway, tops all-time. It was also career win number 13 for Nienhiser, tying him with Terry McCarl for fourth all-time with the series. His $2,000 win came aboard Scott Bonar’s #50.
Nienhiser started on the pole after winning the Agriland FS Dash, and took the lead immediately in the 25-lapper, ahead of defending series champ, Ryan Bunton, Kaleb Johnson, Sterling Cling and Miles Paulus. The third running Johnson blew his left rear tire four laps in, bringing the first caution. He restarted at the tail. Carson McCarl moved into the top five on the restart before Chris Martin took the spot on lap seven.
Though Nienhiser went relatively unchallenged, the battle behind him was intense. Martin took fourth from Paulus on lap eight. The leaders entered lapped traffic on lap 12. Bunton, Cling and Martin were all within two car lengths, when the yellow flew again for debris on lap 13. Cody Wehrle was running twelfth on the restart when he got over the top of turn one, bringing another caution. He would restart at the tail and join Johnson by surging into the top ten.
Nienhiser took off again. A battle between Martin and Paulus for fourth ensued. With ten laps to go, Paulus got sideways in turn two. Martin had nowhere to go, slammed into Paulus, righted that car and flipped his own. The red flag set up a restart with Nienhiser leading Bunton, Cling, Paulus and Carson McCarl.
Cling shot by Bunton to take over second. Tasker Phillips spun with five to go, bringing out the final caution. The late stages saw Paulus move up to third, followed by McCarl and Chase Porter. Josh Schneiderman, Bunton, Johnson, hard-charger Wehrle and Cam Martin rounded out the top ten. Paulus, Cling, Dustin Clark and Cam Martin won heats. Phillips claimed the B.
“Sometimes having traffic when the track is really wide like this…I can gauge what lane I need to be running,” said Nienhiser in Victory Lane. “(Without traffic) we couldn’t do that. Hopefully, we made enough of the right moves…obviously, we did when we’re standing on the front stretch. I about took the wall out in turn four there a couple laps in. That developed a bit of a vibration in the right rear. I stuck to the low side of one and two as the top became a long way around. There was moisture on the bottom. Cautions fell the right way, but I would have liked to see it go green. It’s just a pleasure every time I get in this car. I know it’s going to be prepared impeccably. I just have to do my job.”
“I really didn’t know what to expect showing up here,” said Cling, who was making his first career start with the Sprint Invaders. “it’s my first year running a wing car. I’ve been here once with USAC without the wing. I was happy with our speed all night. I lean on my crew chief, Mikey Kuemper a lot. He has experience with the wing (Kraig Kinser) everywhere in this country. It’s nice to roll out there with confidence. It helps a lot. We didn’t quite have the speed Paul did in one and two.”
“It was a good night for us, a great night to start out the year,” said Paulus. “Our motor and car are in one piece. I had one major mistake there, and I feel bad for Chris Martin. I really ruined his night. It was more my fault than his. I apologize for that. I don’t like doing that to anybody. We can’t complain about the results. We hope we can keep this momentum and carry it to the rest of the year.”

Ashton Torgerson Victorious with POWRi National Midgets and Xtreme at Farmer City
Belleville, IL. (4/13/24) Ashton Torgerson would run away on the high side of
Farmer City Raceway to earn his second career feature win with the POWRi
National Midget League, running in conjunction with Xtreme Outlaw Midget Series
presented by Toyota, in support of the Illini-100 on Saturday Night’s
exhilarating action after leading twenty-eight laps.
Early on-track excitement with twenty-six entries to the POWRi National
Midgets, running in conjunction with Xtreme Outlaw Midgets, would find Ethan
Mitchell start the action off with a quick-time in group hot-lap qualifying with
a time of 13.162-second as Ashton Torgerson, Cannon McIntosh, and Kale Drake
would each notch heat racing victories.
Setting the feature field would find the high-point qualifier Ashton
Torgerson roll an invert of zero to set Torgerson and Ethan Mitchell on the
front row leading the field as the green flag flew with the speedy Torgerson
gaining the initial advantage on the opening lap with Chase McDermand, Cannon
McIntosh, Kale Drake, and Zach Daum battled inside the early top five.
Briefly overtaking for the top spot for a pair of laps would find a
low-running Chase McDermand leading the way as Ashton Torgerson never wavered
from the top side to maneuver his way back out front to regain the lead with
Cannon McIntosh, Ryan Timms, Zach Daum, Ethan Mitchell, Kale Drake, Tyler
Edwards, Mitchell Davis, and Gavin Miller raced tightly inside the contending
top ten.
Cruising to a comfortable lead at the mid-way point of the feature would find
Ashton Torgerson protecting the lead as a quick-running Ryan Timms would start
to approach the pace-setting leader among lap traffic.
Bunching the field back together after a lap seventeen caution would find
Ashton Torgerson guarding the top of the track with Ryan Timms keeping pace as

hungry to win tonight,” said the winning Ashton Torgerson in the Farmer City
Raceway winner’s circle. Added, “This race team is great, every weekend we are
learning and it makes everything fun.”
Flying through the field past nine competitors would find Mitchell Davis
finish fourth with leader of two laps Chase McDermand rounding out the POWRi

Cap Henry rebounds with Attica Spring Nationals win; Jimmy McGrath earns 1st career 305 victory
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Sunday, April 14, 2024
By Brian Liskai
ATTICA, Ohio – After crash on opening night at Attica Raceway Park a couple of weeks ago, defending track champion Cap Henry of Republic, Ohio, rebounded with a dominating performance Saturday, April 13 to take the $6,000 top prize of the Core & Main Spring Nationals presented by Erie Blacktop and Smith Paving.
Henry, aboard the Jeff Ward Motorsports #33W, led all 30 laps of the Callie’s Performance Products 410 Sprint A-main though he was challenged early by Cale Thomas and held off a charging Emerson Axsom late for his 17th career Attica division win, placing him seventh on the all-time 410 win list at the track.
Axsom drove from ninth to a second place finish with Greg Wilson, Trey Jacobs and Zane DeVault rounding out the top five on the challenging track that took over four inches of rain the two days prior to the event.
“I’ll be honest, it was all I had to hang onto that thing. I needed those red flags and cautions. The car was really good…I’d say I was about 50 percent. I knew we had to get going and I was trying to pick my pace and maintain for a long time. Cale (Thomas) showed me his nose wing once and got by me in traffic and luckily the caution came out and we got it back. This goes to these guys over here (his crew). I tore this thing up a couple of weeks ago and they put it back together and never gave up,” said Henry beside his Premier Planning Services, Jeff Ward Demolition, Ohio Logistics, Primal Tee Shop, Elliott’s Custom Trailers and Carts, FK Rod Ends, Griff’s Engines backed machine.
Jimmy McGrath of Clyde, Ohio, has finished led a lot of 305 sprint features and finished second a lot. He finally got the monkey off his back Saturday at Attica, leading all 25 laps of the Fremont Fence feature to claim his first ever sprint car win. It wasn’t easy for McGrath as many cautions and red flags caused several restarts with one caution actually handing him back the lead after Jamie Miller had just passed him.
Steve Rando, Brandon Moore, Tyler Shullick and John Ivy would round out the top five.
“This feels good…it doesn’t seem real. I wasn’t thinking about a lot. I just drove it as hard as I could right through the middle and hoped it stuck and stayed on all fours,” said McGrath beside his Awesome Racewear, Wood Wizard, Level Utilities, Level Performance, JP Builders, BSE Fab. WDLC Sheds, Sulfer Town Pub, D2 Excavating backed #5jr.
Attica Raceway Park will be back in action Friday, April 19 on Baumann Auto Group/7L Construction/Venture Visionary Partners Night. The All Pro Aluminum Cylinder Heads/Kistler Racing Products Attica Fremont Championship Series presented by the Baumann Auto Group will kick off its season for the 410 sprints as will the NAPA of Bryan AFCS presented by Jason Dietsch Trailer Sales for the 305 sprints. The Dirt Nerds Podcast Powered by Propane UMP Late Models will also be in action.

TANNER CARRICK LIFTS CURTAIN ON OCEAN SPEEDWAY'S 2024 SEASON WITH TACO BRAVO VICTORY
WATSONVILLE, CALIFORNIA (April 13, 2024) – Lincoln’s Tanner Carrick withstood an onslaught of restarts and challengers to triumph in the curtain raiser for the 2024 Ocean Sprints presented by Taco Bravo, Friday night at Watsonville’s Ocean Speedway. Carrick prevailed in a 30-lap contest as part of a five-division program at the Santa Cruz County Fairgrounds.
Clovis’ Dominic Gorden led time trials as the only car dipping into the 10 second lap times driving car No. 10. Penngrove’s Chase Johnson then won the dash to earn the pole for the 30-lap feature.
Johnson sprinted ahead and led the field into lapped traffic quickly. Johnson spun on the exit of turns one and two in traffic, however, for the first caution on lap seven - surrendering the lead to Carrick.
Carrick and Gorden ran side-by-side on the restart with Carrick narrowly edging Gorden to lead lap nine. Carrick solidly had the top spot in hand by lap 10. The red flag flew that same lap for Vince Giannotta flipping in turn two. When action resumed, Johnson marched through the pack. His march came to an early end when he flipped in turn two for a red flag on lap 14.
Caeden Steele tried to seize second from Gorden on the restart using the bottom line. A series of incidents slowed the action including fifth running Seth Standley of Yuba City crashing on the front stretch.
Gorden retook second from Steele from the outside line, then used a lap 21 restart to approach Carrick. Gorden nearly nabbed the lead but fell short. Carrick darted to victory over the final nine circuits. Gorden settled for second followed by Steele, Kurt Nelson of Gilroy, and Arizona’s Nick Parker.
The nightcap was the 25-lap IMCA Modified feature, with multiple track champions from across California littered throughout the field. Salinas’ Bobby Hogge put on a master class of passing, then dominated the rest of the way. Hogge charged from tenth to second in the first few laps, avoiding a crash involving Jacob Mallet, Jr. of Oakley, Salinas’ Cody Burke, and Robert Marsh of Salinas. Hogge then drove up the inside of Hollister’s Andy Obertello on lap eight to take the lead.
Hogge accumulated a 6.4 second advantage at the stripe followed by Obertello, Jim Pettit II of Prunedale, Andrew Peckham of Grass Valley, and Austin Burke of Salinas.
IMCA Sport Modified action saw Buddy Kniss of Oakley fend off Fred Ryland of Brentwood in a classic 20-lap duel to start the season. The pair went side-by-side on lap 16 but Kniss held court once again. Kniss saw the checkered flag with a three car length advantage followed by Ryland, Mark Garner of Antioch, Emali VanHoff of Chowchilla, and 2023 champion Chuck Golden of Pittsburg.
Track champions ruled in both the Hobby Stocks and Four Bangers. In Hobby Stock racing, Joe Gallaher advanced from sixth on the grid to take the lead from DJ Keldsen of Freedom on lap five. The lone caution of the race fell on lap 13 when his 16-year-old grandson Bobby Gallaher had a trip through the infield in turn three. Joe Gallaher was undeterred as he took the win over Keldsen, Shane Freeman of Prunedale, Adriane Frost of Watsonville, and Bobby Gallaher.
Moss Landing’s Jason Lazzerini won ten Four Banger features in 2023 and the track championship. He resumed his winning ways on Friday night in the 15-lap contest. Tony Gullo of Watsonville ran second followed by Kate Beardsley of Felton, Travis VanGilder of Felton, and Shelbie Freeman of Prunedale.

Ryan Timms Wins Friday with POWRi National Midgets and Xtreme at Farmer City
Belleville, IL. (4/12/24) Ryan Timms would prevail on the high side to earn
his fifth career feature win with the POWRi National Midget League, running in
conjunction with Xtreme Outlaw Midget Series presented by Toyota, in support of
the Illini-100 on Friday Night’s preliminary action at Farmer City Speedway
after leading sixteen laps.
Early on-track excitement with twenty-five entries the POWRi National
Midgets, running in conjunction with Xtreme Outlaw Midgets, would find Kale
Drake start the action off with a track record quick-time in group qualifying
with a lap-time of 12.931-second as Zach Daum, Ashton Torgerson, and Ryan Timms
would each notch heat racing victories.
Setting the feature field would find the high-point qualifier Ryan Timms roll
an invert of four to set Chase McDermand and Kale Drake on the front row,
leading the field as the green flag flew with Kale Drake gaining the initial
advantage on the opening lap using a speedy high line.
Pacing the field out front, the 2022 POWRi Outlaw Micro League champion Kale
Drake would continue to lead the way with Chase McDermand running in the second
spot as Ryan Timms gained in the final podium placement. Zach Daum and Ashton
Torgerson would swap positions inside the top five with Cannon McIntosh, Gavin
Miller, Kevin Thomas Jr, Tyler Edwards, and Gunnar Setser all raced inside the
top ten positions.
Sliding into the lead on lap ten using a brave turn four maneuver, Ryan Timms
would work the track perfectly with lap traffic all around the top contending
position as Kale Drake and Chase McDermand stayed close to the top spot.
Contact with a lap car and second place Kale Drake would bring out the
caution flag on lap eighteen with Ryan Timms out front as Chase McDermand moved
into the runner-up spot with Ashton Torgerson, Zach Daum, and Cannon McIntosh
restarting within the top five.
Restarting late while protecting the front of the field, Ryan Timms would
keep Ashton Torgerson at bay in the runner-up spot with Chase McDermand
finalizing the podium placements in a hard-fought feature.
“Going into the main I knew we had a fast car and I was feeling really
confident going into the feature, one and two were really choppy but I could
hold three and four wide open,” said the victorious Ryan Timms in the Farmer
City Speedway winner’s circle. Adding, “I can’t thank my crew enough for giving
me such a great car and hopefully we can do it tomorrow night.”
Staying in the hunt all event, Zach Daum would finish fourth with Cannon
McIntosh rounding out the POWRi National Midget League running in conjunction
with the Xtreme Outlaw Midget Series presented by Toyota top-five finishers in
support of the Illini-100 preliminary night running at Farmer City Speedway on
Friday.

Ken Duke Adds Keystone To Resume
Drew Young and Doug Dodson seemed ready to settle the 12th Annual Keystone
RaceSaver Challenge between themselves; third-running Ken Duke admitted he had
nothing for the leaders. Then, with two laps to go in the River Valley Builders
PA Sprint Series’ biggest race of the year, both of the leaders slowed with flat
tires. Duke admitted he broke out in a smile when he saw that had happened.
He had the lead, but he had veteran Roger Irvine, 2023 PASS points runner-up
Zach Rhodes, Jeffrey Weaver, and high-riding Nick Sweigert on his bumper for the
restart. Known for strong restarts, Duke didn’t flinch, but then he had to do it
again after Rhodes brought out the caution with yet another flat tire with one
lap to go.
No matter. Duke’s second restart was as good as the first, and the Selinsgrove
veteran, two-time PASS Champion, and 2019 IMCA/RaceSaver National Champion again
held off the challenges and returned to victory lane for the first time since
2022, adding the Keystone to his already stellar resume.
“I’m really blessed to be here today,” the Selinsgrove racer said to conclude
his victory lane interview.
Duke’s margin of victory ended up being almost a full second over Irvine, of
Irvona, who is celebrating his 20th season of PASS competition. Weaver, from
Lock Haven, was the race’s guaranteed starter as a result of winning the
Founders Cup non-qualifiers race in 2022, the last time the Keystone was run.
Saturday’s race actually was the 2023 edition, postponed by weather issues last
October. The 2024 KRC will be run at Port Royal on June 29, seeking to avoid the
weather programs the event has suffered recently.
Rounding out the top five were Sweigart, of Myerstown, and Jason Roush of
Thompsontown. Sweigart, the 2019 KRC winner in a race with one of the most
exciting finishes of all time, tried desperately to make the high line work
Saturday, and even though his effort wasn’t entirely successful, he gave the
fans a thrill. For Roush, a solid run all night resulted in his best PASS finish
ever.
The rest of the top ten featured Owen DImm of Mifflintown, Christian Rumsey of
Middletown, N.Y., Danny Buccafusca of Rockaway, N.J., Nolan Groves of Sugar
Grove, and Erin Statler of Carlisle.
Statler’s advance from 25th starting position earned her the Penns Valley Meat
Market Hard Charger Award, given by the Port Royal sponsor of PASS events.
Drew Young, of Beaver Springs, who drew the pole position for the race, looked
to be on the way to the biggest win of his career, which started later than for
most racers and only after switching hobbies from rodeo. The two-time 2023
winner was nearly flawless on an open track and in traffic, which he had been
navigating for more than a dozen laps when the tire misfortune hit. Dodson, of
Middletown, had moved up from seventh starting position and looked like he might
have something to offer Young, but it turned out he could only offer, “I know
how you feel.”
The race ran 18 action-packed green-flag laps before the first caution. An early
incident saw A.J. Barton of Bedford smacking the fourth-turn wall, but the 2023
rookie-of-the-year kept his mount under control, although he retired shortly
afterward. At about the midway point, Kasey Weaver of Everett, another of last
season’s rookies, nearly spun in four, but another strong recovery kept the race
under green.
The caution finally flew on lap 19 when Landon Price of Fleetwood slowed on the
front stretch and stopped near turn one. It was after that restart that Dodson
slipped past Irvine and set up what looked to be an exciting finish, only to
have two flat tires interfere.
As it was, the finish was exiting, but it involved different drivers.
Heat races for the 44 River Valley Builders PASS sprinters on hand were won by
Duke, Sweigart, Kruz Kepner of Kreamer, Zach Rhodes of McVeytown, who brought
out the final caution, Jeffrey Weaver, and Kenny Heffner of Watsontown. Most of
the heats were uneventful, but the third heat was a barnburner, with Kepner,
2023 PASS Champ Logan Spahr of Lewisberry, and Dustin Young of Danville battling
tooth-and-nail for the top spots, only to have Young drop out just as Austin
Reed of Etters joined the fray. On a restart, Reed got inside of Spahr going for
the lead but slid up slightly and sent both cars hard into the fourth-turn wall,
ending their days.
That set the tone for last year’s heavy-hitters struggling. Of last year’s top
ten in PASS points, three failed to make the KRC feature, and four others failed
to finish. One of the survivors, though, was Ken Duke.
The B-Mains were won by Jacob Gomola of Guys Mills and Jarrett Rosencrance of
Butler, both regulars and front-runners with the Allegheny Sprint Tour in
Western Pa. In all, even with cold weather and other factors causing some
preregistered drivers to decide against running, five states were represented in
the field.
Next week the River Valley Builders PASS tour races on Friday night at Williams
Grove Speedway, where an all-sprint program also features the 410 sprints and
the USAC East Coast Wingless Sprints. To control the length of the program, PASS
is limiting entries to 26, so this will not be a points race. In two weeks, the
PASS sprinters return to Port Royal.

Justin Sanders records clean sweep to open SCCT season in Stockton
Stockton, CA…Aromas driver Justin Sanders put together a perfect outing to snag the Sprint Car Challenge Tour season opener on Saturday at the Stockton Dirt Track’s Asparagus Cup.
Piloting the Dale Miller Septic No. 4sa Sanders earned the Sierra Foothills Wine Services Fast Time Award, won his heat race, captured the High Sierra Industries Dash, and raced to victory in the 30-lap SCCT finale.
“It feels good to get another win here at Stockton for Dale Miller and to be the first winner on the new track is special as well,” Sanders commented following the race. “I have to thank everybody that supports this 4sa car and hopefully we can go to victory lane a lot this season.”
Once in front after the opening circuit Sanders had his way with things during the main event, working lapped traffic like a magician at times. Several slowdowns plagued the contest, but the reigning winner of the Dirt Cup was calm, cool and collected in the lead.
Fremont’s Shane Golobic found speed late and moved into the second spot with just a couple of laps left. Sanders had already pulled away however and took the checkered flag for his ninth career triumph with the Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour, tying Dominic Scelzi for second all-time.
Golobic crossed the stripe in second, followed by Lincoln’s Tanner Carrick, Oakley’s Dylan Bloomfield and Oregon racer Tyler Thompson. The remainder of the top-10 was filled out by Chase Johnson, Austin Wood, Colby Copeland, Pit Stop USA Hard Charger Dustin Freitas and Mariah Ede.
The night’s Bmain was picked off by Isaiah Vasquez, while the Dash as noted went to Justin Sanders. Heat race wins went to Sanders, Bloomfield, Thompson and Colby Johnson. Sanders set the standard in qualifying with a lap of 14.225.
The Elk Grove Ford Sprint Car Challenge Tour returns to action on Saturday April 20th at the Merced Speedway.
