Selinsgrove Ford Offers $5,000 “Ten for Ten” Bonus for PA Speed Week
Mechanicsburg, PA (March 12, 2022) – Pennsylvania Speedweek is pleased to announce that Selinsgrove Ford will offer a $5,000 bonus to a driver who is able to score a top ten finish in all ten PA Speedweek feature events.
“Selinsgrove Ford is recognized for excellence in customer service and this $5,000 bonus rewards on track excellence during the ten race PA Speedweek series”, said Selinsgrove Ford president Todd Benner. “Built Ford Tough is our motto, and it is a perfect description for a driver who is tough enough to finish in the top ten in every Speedweek event”.
The $5,000 bonus award will be offered for the 2022 PA Speedweek series. A minimum of seven feature events are required for the bonus to be in effect. If more than one driver accomplishes all top ten finishes, the driver with the highest point total will win the $5,000 bonus.
If no competitor can record all top ten finishes, bonus money will still be paid out. Selinsgrove Ford will present a $1,000 bonus to the driver with the most top ten feature finishes during PA Speedweek. The driver with the highest point total will receive the bonus money in the case of a tie.
The Selinsgrove Ford “Ten for Ten” bonus will create interest and excitement during the entire series right down to the final night of PA Speedweek on Sunday, July 3 at the Selinsgrove Speedway.

KYLE LARSON WINS MITCH SMITH MEMORIAL AND $15K FRIDAY NIGHT AT WILLIAMS GROVE SPEEDWAY
MECHANICSBURG, PA – Kyle Larson grabbed the lead from Brent Marks and went on to win the Mitch Smith Memorial Friday night at Williams Grove Speedway -the crown jewel of Pennsylvania
Sprint Car Speedweek.
Larson’s first career Williams Grove win was worth $15,000. It was his third win of Speedweek and nearly clinched the series championship for the Elk Grove, Calif., driver.
“I had a really, really good car, but I had a bad start and fell back to fifth,” Larson said. “I was able to get back to third quickly. “Its nice to come back here and be really competitive with Paul
(Silva). “It’s cool to get both of our first wins here at Williams Grove. This is one of the most historic race tracks in the world. To put my name on the winners list is pretty special.”
Lance Dewease started on the pole and led the opening lap with Brent Marks close behind. A five-car crash exiting turn four stopped the race. Jeff Halligan, Chase Dietz, Brock Zearfoss, Matt Campbell and
Mike Wagner were involved. A few of the cars flipped. No injuries were reported.
A complete restart ensued with Dewease once again leading and Marks right behind. Marks didn’t let Dewease get away and a third turn pass got him the lead with three laps completed.
Marks pulled away to a comfortable lead over Dewease with Larson charging from third. Brian Montieth passed TJ Stutts for fourth. Marks began lapping slower traffic on lap 14 and this allowed both
Dewease and Larson to close dramatically. Montieth was not far back either.
Marks stayed up around a fast cushion as Dewease tried to make the low and middle groove work. Larson passed Dewease off turn two with 12
laps to go and began tracking down Marks.
"He was searching for the middle and I was able to slide him,” Larson said. “The top in one and two started to go away and I could see their noses inside of me, so I moved down.”
As Marks worked the top, Larson tried a bit lower line and finally got another shot.
Larson tried the bottom in turn three to take the lead, but couldn’t make the pass. Larson tried the bottom again and got a better run this time and was inside of Marks down the frontstretch. He squeezed
under him entering turn one making slight contact as the took the lead with six to go.
“I wasn’t expecting him to go to the bottom,” Larson said. “He’d been running the top. I got a good run off four and I had enough of a gap in front of me, I was committed to slide him and he shut it down. I
thought we were going to crash. I hate that I got into him. You’re trying to judge things so quickly here. You’ve got to make all your passes in the corners. You’ve got to be really aggressive.”
Marks tried to take the lead back, but Larson got by slower traffic better. Marks was held up and Dewease got back by for second. Rico Abreu and Freddie Rahmer completed the top five. Danny Dietrich,
who started 18th, Ryan Smith, TJ Stutts, Chad Trout and Lucas Wolfe rounded out the top 10.
Dewease set quick time over the 38-car field with a lap of 17.330 and he also won the opening eight-lap heat race. Brian Montieth won the second heat. Three laps were completed in the third heat race when
a rain shower hit the track. It created about a 75-minute delay. When racing resumed, Marks held off Larson to win the third heat. TJ Stutts won the final heat. Matt Campbell won the B-main.

Dewease Wins Kickoff Of Speedweek At Williams Grove, Outruns Larson
Kevin Nouse opens 358-sprint season with win
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
6/26/20
Mechanicsburg – Lance Dewease muscled past Brian Montieth and then outran Kyle Larson to win the opening night of the 30th annual Red Robin Pennsylvania Speedweek Series for sprint cars at Williams Grove Speedway on Friday night.
Dewease earned $5,000 for his 99th career victory at the oval aboard the Don Kreitz-owned No. 69K.
In the companion 358 sprint main, Kevin Nouse took over when Zach Newlin dropped out of the lead to win the 20-lap feature event.
Dewease started second in the 25-lap speedweek feature but it was polesitter Montieth who would take the lead when the race began. Montieth was in control when the red flag appeared on the sixth tour for a two-car tangle in the second turn. Montieth had Dewease, Danny Dietrich and Larson lining up behind for the restart.
Only two more laps could be completed before the pace was again slowed, this time for a spun Robert Ballou in the second turn. Racing was back underway for just one more lap when TJ Stutts and Rico Abreu made contact on the backchute, again slowing the action. Dewease went to work on the ensuing restart, keeping pace with Montieth and the pair crossed the line side by side, split by just .002 seconds with 10 laps completed.
After a turns three and four dive by Dewease coming to the line to get that close, the Fayetteville flyer crossed over entering the first corner to ride momentum around the outside of the track and net the lead with 11 completed.
Two laps later, Larson went low on Dietrich for third in the fourth turn and then held him down entering the first corner to get the position and begin his assault on the leaders. Larson had run down Montieth for second with eight laps to go when Montieth suddenly dropped off of the pace and withdrew from the race. That put Larson in clear sight of pacesetter Dewease and with five laps to go, he was clearly gaining on the leader.
Larson got close enough to mount a challenge with two laps to go but then a mistake when he hopped the first turn cushion just after the two to go mark cost him too much ground to make up again during the final one and one-half laps.
Dewease took the win by .931 seconds over Larson with Freddie Rahmer in third followed by Dietrich and Ryan Smith.
Sixth through 10th went to Anthony Macri, Brent Marks, Lucas Wolfe, Jeff Halligan and Brock Zearfoss.
Heats went to Montieth, Larson, TJ Stutts and Dietrich with Matt Campbell taking the last chance race.
Abreu set fast time over the 38-car field with a lap of 16.645 seconds.
Zach Newlin led the first three laps of the 358 sprint main before dropping out of the race while surrendering the lead to Kevin Nouse. Nouse had started 10th in the field but quickly worked to the front during the early going to be in position to assume the lead.
Derek Locke started 11th in the field and drove into second on lap five. Locke kept the leader in his sights for the remainder of the race but could not get close enough to make a bid for the win.
The victory was the 23rd of Nouse’s career at Williams Grove Speedway. Russell Hammaker finished third followed by Kyle Denmyer and Chris Frank.
Heats went to Hammaker, Locke and Scott Fisher with Nat Tuckey scoring the consolation race.

Rahmer Wins Johnny Grum Memorial at Hagerstown
By Brett Rose
July 4
HAGERSTOWN, MD – Freddie Rahmer picked up the win in exciting fashion during the third edition of the Johnny Grum Memorial on Thursday night's seventh round of Pennsylvania Sprint Speedweek at Hagerstown Speedway.
Robbie Kendall and Lucas Wolfe paced the field from the front row, and Kendall beat Wolfe into turn one and off of turn two to take the lead.
Kendall quickly drove his No. 55k into lapped traffic on the sixth circuit before a Lap 7 caution waved for the stopped car of Brandon Rahmer in turn one.
On the restart, Kendall repeated his original start, beating Wolfe and the field again to remain the race leader. At the halfway point, Kendall led Wolfe by a 1.63 second margin and once again was working through lapped traffic while rim-riding the top groove of the Hub City oval.
Just a few laps later, Wolfe worked the bottom groove underneath Kendall to take the lead coming off of turn two on Lap 19. As Wolfe was leading, a four-car battle for second began between the cars of Kendall, Cory Eliason, Danny Dietrich, and Freddie Rahmer.
Rahmer made the best of the battle, settling into second and began his chase of Wolfe on Lap 23, and worked the low groove to pass Wolfe for the lead on Lap 24.
From then, Rahmer looked poised to pull away until a Lap 28 caution waved for the spun car of Brock Zearfoss on the backstretch.
This setup a two-lap dash to the finish, but Rahmer was too strong at the end, and took the checkered flag.
The win for the Salfordville, Pennsylvania driver in his Leffler Energy No.51 was the first of his career at Hagerstown.
"I don't know how good I was at the end, but it was good enough to hold them off. It's pretty cool to get my first win at Hagerstown. I always love coming here. I wish we could race here more. The track flows perfect for Sprint Cars and Late Models. It's all good racing.", praised Rahmer in victory lane.
Wolfe held onto second, followed by Eliason, Dietrich, and fifth-place finisher Anthony Macri.
The win put Rahmer into the points lead at the time for the PA Sprint Speedweek championship with two races remaining.
Notes: 22 cars signed into the pit area on the July 4th holiday race. Notably absent was Lance Dewease, whose team elected to take the night off. Dewease's streak of three consecutive wins at Hagerstown came to an end.
Rico Abreu set quick time with a lap of 15.601 seconds, falling short of Mark Kinser's pre-weight limit best of 14.945 set back in 1999.
Heats were won by Wolfe, Dietrich, and Kendall.

CHRISTOPHER BELL POCKETS $10,000, JEFF STRUNK WINS MOD THRILLER AS GRANDVIEW DEFEATS MOTHER NATURE TUESDAY NIGHT, JULY 2
BECHTELSVILLE, PA (July 2, 2019) – Mother Nature offered a reprieve to race fans Tuesday Night at Grandview Speedway, providing just enough clear weather for Norman, Oklahoma's Christopher Bell to claim the 410 Sprint Car main event, while Boyertown, Pennsylvania's Jeff Strunk scored the win in the Modified portion of the double-header event. A big crowd turned out for the NAPA Auto Parts Thunder on the Hill event attracting a field of thirty 410 sprint cars and thirty-eight modifieds. The battles were plentiful all night but the biggest story was how the Grandview Speedway track crew fought back after a thunder stormed drenched the speedway surface. The outstanding work by the track crew with help from the modifieds quickly returned the speedway back into race ready conditions after a one hour and fifteen minute rain delay. As the checker flag fell on the modified feature, the rain once again began to fall, but the show in its entirety was presented.
Bell used up every inch of the racetrack on his way to a $10,000 payday as part of Pennsylvania Sprint Car Speedweek. The was Bells first ever Thunder on the Hill Racing Series victory.
"I had a hard time figuring out where the car worked best, I just kept moving around," Bell explained in post-race victory lane ceremonies. "I almost crashed a couple of times."
Pole-sitter Lucas Wolfe and Bell raced down to the drop of the green, but action slowed quickly for a six-car tangle that sidelined Pennsylvania Speedweek point leader, Freddie Rahmer.
Bell didn't bat an eye on the ensuing restart racing around Wolfe and disappearing from the competition – a man on a mission, Bell encountered lapped traffic on the 8th circuit dodging slower cars with his sight set on the winner's purse.
James McFadden, aboard the Kasey Kahne Racing No. 9 machine, slid passed Wolfe on the 12th lap and it didn't take long for him to rope in Bell and challenge for the lead. The red flag flew just prior to the halfway when Jessie Attard got upside down in turn three.
Bell had his hands full on the restart with McFadden and Lance Dewease right on his rear bumper.
"I struggled just passed halfway, I used every inch of the race track and tried to block those guys behind me," Bell explained.
McFadden would make one last-ditch effort for the victory, but ultimately settled for second, Lance Dewease finished in third, Lucas Wolfe in fourth, and past Thunder Cup winner Aaron Reutzel finished in fifth.
Christopher Bell's sweep included the Quick Time with a lap of 11.617. Heat Races were won by Aaron Reutzel, Lucas Wolfe, Danny Dietrich, and Kyle Reinhardt. Mark Smith scored the win in the B-Main.
Brett Kressley and Mike Gular started on the front row of the NASCAR 358 Modified feature event, with Gular gaining control of the top spot. Gular dominated the first half of the 30-lap event clicking laps off with a strong contingent of Modified drivers behind him.
The top three competitors were door-to-door in the closing portion of the event, with Gular, Kressley, and Strunk all moving to the point in a single lap. Strunk would score the upper hand threading three-wide between Gular and Kressley.
Strunk led the final ten laps of the feature event with Kressley well within striking distance and riding the rear bumper of #126 on the final lap. Kressley rolled home in second, Mike Gular finished in third, Craig VonDohren in fourth, and Duane Howard rounding out the top five. Kressley worked his way to victory lane, but this time to congratulate the great run by Strunk. The thirty lap modified win was worth $3,000.
NASCAR Modified Heat Races were won by Don Norris, Jr., Steve Young, Brett Kressley, and Ryan Watt. Consolations were won by Craig Whitmoyer and Glenn Strunk.
Rain delayed the start of the event with 410 Sprint Car Time Trials finally rolling off at 8:45 PM, the rain fell again at the drop of the checkered flag.
The 30th Anniversary season of the NAPA Auto Parts Thunder on the Hill Racing Series continues on Tuesday, July 30 at Grandview Speedway with the USAC NOS Energy Drink Midget National Championship event dubbed Ken Brenn Midget Masters. NASCAR 358 Modifieds are also on the card.

CISNEY WINS ROUND THREE OF THE PA SPRINT CAR SPEEDWEEK SERIES SUNDAY NIGHT AT SELINSGROVE SPEEDWAY
By Shawn Wood
SELINSGROVE, Pa. -- Dylan Cisney scored his first career win at Selinsgrove Speedway Sunday night in round three of the Pennsylvania Sprint Car Speedweek
Cisney, of Port Royal, began his career in go-karts at the Selinsgrove Raceway Park track which is located inside the famed half-mile.
The start of the 30-lap feature was marred by a mutli-car tangle coming to the green which saw Danny Dietrich, Ryan Smith, Freddie Rahmer, Mike Walter and Kyle Moody with all involved with only Dietrich unable to rejoin the race.
Polesitter Blane Heimbach to the lead on the next attempt at a start as the three-time former 358 sprint-car track champion was in early control of the race but not without constant pressure at times from Cisney.
The race was slowed momnentairly on lap 3 when Kyle Reinhardt hit the Turn 2 wall and brough out the caution.
While Heimbach opened his lead on the ensuing restart with Cisney in tow, defending race winner Lucas Wolfe had his hands full with Tony Stewart in the battle for third
before Stewart was able to get by just after the halfway point.
Heimbach would extend his lead while working in-and-out of lapped traffic when the red flag came out on lap 21 which chaned the complexition of the race.
Coming up on a pack of back markers, Heimbach would sustain top wing damage when the top wing of Ryan Smith's car came off as he was makring his entry into Turn 1. The car then went into a series of violent flips before hitting the Turn 1 guardrail and coming to a stop. Smith was trasnported to a local hospital for observations and was released after being cheked out. He was sore but OK.
The damage to Heimbach's wing forced him to put on a new top win and per track rules, was sent to the rear for the change.
This put Cisney on the point with Stewart and Wolfe in second and third for the single-file restart.
Cisney maintaied the lead on the restart as Wolfe blasted to the outside and got by Stewart for second. That battle would rage for several laps before Stewart wrestled the position away and closed in on Cisney late in the race.
Cisney took the checkers by 1.5 seconds over Stwewart with Wolfe, Brock Zearfoss and Anthony Macri rounding out the top five. Sixth through 10th were Chase Dietz, Jason Shultz, Freddie Rahmer, Justin Barger, and Heimbach.
Macri, Cisney and Heimbach won the 410 sprint car heats. Jared Esh won the B-Main. Dietrich set fast time over the 26-car field with a lap of 18.057 seconds.
Track officials made an announcement during the event on Sunday that the 37th annual National Open/Jim Nace Memorial on Sept. 14 for the 410 spint cars would pay $20,000 to win.
Ken Duke, of Selinsgrove, who also started his career on at the Selinsgrove Raceway Park, led all 20 laps to score his first-ever win at Selinsgrove in the 305 sprint car feature to cap off the evening's open-wheel doubleheader.
Devin Adams, Cale Reigle, Dave Grube and Christian Rumsey rounded out the top five.

Montieth got Trout going down the backstretch on lap 24 for the lead and Dietrich followed. The caution came out on lap 25 for Dewease who ended up facing the wrong way on the front stretch with a right front flat tire.
Montieth led Dietrich, Trout, Mollenoyux and Smith to the cone for the restart with five laps to go.

The 410 sprints always attract the cream of the crop. Alan Krimes will be in the field looking for his first Thunder victory. A few years back, Krimes was in the perfect spot to score the win but a flat tire denied him of a visit to victory lane. Lucas Wolfe is an early entry as well. Wolfe was the 2007 Thunder on the Hill Champion but has not won a Thunder on the Hill feature as yet. Lucas wants to change that Tuesday night, July 2. The Rahmer Brothers, Freddie and Brandon are pre-entered and ready for Grandview. Their father Fred is a nine time Thunder on the Hill feature winner, Freddie won the All Star event in 2017 and Brandon hopes to add his name to the Thunder on the Hill winners list.
And along came T.J. Stutts. A few years back, Stutts set fast for the night and was a contender for the win when mechanical problems sidelined him from action. Stutts knows the fast way around Grandview and is always considered a contender to collect the $10,000 pay day.
The Thunder on the Hill Racing Series will also showcase the 358 NASCAR Modifieds on Tuesday night, July 2. Ryan Watt was the winner of the last two Modified Thunder events and he’ll be looking for three in a row. Craig VonDohren, Duane Howard, Jeff Strunk and Ryan Godown are expected to chase the $3,000 to win 30 lap modified feature.
On Tuesday night, July 2 gates will open at 5 PM with warm-ups at 6:45 PM. The 410 sprint cars will open the show with time trials followed by the 358 modified and 410 sprint qualifying. This will all lead up to the $10,000 to win 35 lap Speed Week Sprint car feature event and the 30 lap Modified feature.

WOLFE WINS SPECTACULAR SPEEDWEEK FINALE AFTER THRILLING WHEEL-TO-WHEEL BATTLE WITH DIETRICH AT SELINSGROVE SPEEDWAY SUNDAY NIGHT!
HODNETT CLINCHES PA SPEEDWEEK TITLE
SELINSGROVE, Pa. – It was a war on wheels Sunday night at Selinsgrove Speedway to decide the 29th Annual PA Speedweek title for 410 sprint cars.
Danny Dietrich of Gettysburg needed to win the 30-lap Opperman/Bogar Memorial in order to clinch the title but with two laps to race Lucas Wolfe of Mechanicsburg ripped the win and championship away after a thrilling wheel-to-wheel battle most of the race.
The $5,000 win was Wolfe’s fourth career at Selinsgrove and second of the 10-race PA Speedweek series.
Greg Hodnett of Spring Grove scored the PA Speedweek title by only two points over Dietrich.
Freddie Rahmer of Salfordville was the night’s Fast Tees fast qualifier with a lap time of 16.509.
Johnny Scarborough of Bomoseen, Vermont, won the 20-lap PASS 305 sprint car feature.
Selinsgrove Speedway is back in action at 7:30 p.m. this Saturday, July 14, with fan appreciation night featuring the 360 sprint cars, super late models, pro stocks, and roadrunners. Adult general admission for the four division show will be only $10 on July 14 with all general admission students ages 17 and under admitted FREE! Track gates will open at 5 p.m.
Outside front row starter Danny Dietrich pulled ahead of polesitter Freddie Rahmer exiting turn two at the start of the 410 sprint car main event. By lap six, Dietrich began to encounter slower traffic, allowing Rahmer and fourth-place starter Lucas Wolfe to close in.
On the 14th circuit, Wolfe passed Rahmer for the runner up position and set his sites on Dietrich. The race’s only caution flag unfurled on lap 15, at the halfway point, when Trey Stark’s lost the handle in turns three and four. Starks was able to rejoin the race.
When the green flag waved again, a war on wheels unfolded the entire second half of the race between Dietrich and Wolfe. Wolfe tried repeatedly using the inside line to get by Dietrich as the duo race side by side and had the fans on their feet.
With eight laps remaining, third-place starter Blane Heimbach showed a lot of speed and reeled in the leaders to make it a three-car battle at the front of the pack. On lap 28, Wolfe made the winning pass using the inside lane off turn two. Dietrich continued to race in his shadow and made a last-ditch effort to take the lead back.
At the checkered flag, Wolfe was victorious by a mere .86 of a second over Dietrich. Heimbach finished a a close third, followed by Rahmer and 13th-place starter Jason Shultz.
Polesitter Kyle Smith took the early lead in the 305 sprint car feature. Second-place starter Johnny Scarborough chased the leader for the first eight laps until making the winning pass using the inside line off turn four on lap nine.
A caution flag on lap 12 regrouped the field with Scarborough setting the pace on the restart. Fourth-place starter Ken Duke advanced to second on the restart and set his sights on the leader. A second and final caution flag on lap 18 put Duke right on Scarborough’s rear bumper for a restart.
At the finish, Scarborough took the checkered flag by five car lengths over Duke, Cale Reigle, Austin Bishop, and Nick Sweigart.

Dietrich Win Port Royal Sprint Speedweek Thriller
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
7/7/18
PORT ROYAL, Pa. – Danny Dietrich won a thrilling Pennsylvania Speedweek feature at Port Royal Speedway on Saturday night, becoming the third and final leader in the 30-lap non-stop affair that saw the top five cars racing within a straightaway of one another for the second half of the rousing event.
In the 25-lap Moon Shine Camo Rt. 35 Dirt Late Model Challenge Series event, Ralph Morgan Jr. of Hill Valley scored the victory worth $2,200 and was also the third and final leader of a crowd-pleasing event.
Polesitter Brock Zearfoss blasted into control at the start of the speedweek feature with Anthony Macri and Greg Hodnett giving chase. Macri struggled to keep pace with Zearfoss as the race entered traffic on the seventh tour and by lap 13, Hodnett was challenging Macri for the runnerup spot with Dietrich breathing down both of their necks and Lance Dewease lurking in fifth. As traffic grew increasingly heavy, it became more challenging for Zearfoss and the front-runners to negotiate and the field bunched up while exchanging positions two through six with Ryan Smith now in the mix as well.
With 12 laps to go, Macri was still in second ahead of Dietrich, who had taken third from Hodnett a lap earlier, but the margin between the pair was the blink of an eye or .011 seconds. Dietrich took second with 11 laps to go and began running down leader Zearfoss but by that time Dewease was biting into the front-runner's advantages while also battling Hodnett for third. Dewease finally got third while chugging around the inside and then while Dietrich battled Zearfoss for control in nose-to-tail fashion, Dewease used his favored low line to pass both drivers on the 25th lap. But the race that most may have thought was then over after Dewease took the lead, then turned even more thrilling as the move by Dewease seemed to put Dietrich's elbows up even higher as he flung his No. 48 higher and higher around the speedway.
Dewease was never able to open up any advantage over Zearfoss or Dietrich and finding remarkable bite against the outside fence in the second corner, Dietrich was able to burst back around Zearfoss and then Dewease and take control on the 28th tour.
The Gettysburg driver then went on to record his third week of the current series by 1.880 seconds while Zearfoss stung Dewease for second on the final tour. Dewease rode home third followed by Hodnett and Smith.
Sixth through 10th went to Freddie Rahmer, Macri, Rico Abreu, Ryan Taylor and Lucas Wolfe.
"I was finally able to beat the 69K's ass," exclaimed Dietrich to a raucous crowd after he drove back by Dewease to get the victory. Heats for the 31-cars went to Dietrich, Dewease, Taylor and Macri with the consolation going to Jared Esh. Wolfe set quick time in time trials with a lap of 16.814 seconds.
Hodnett leads speedweek points heading into the final race of the 10-event series at Selinsgrove Speedway on Sunday, July 8.
Tim Wilson used the pole to take the lead in the 25-lap Moon Shine Camo Rt. 35 Dirt Late Model Challenge Series race over Morgan, who took second on the second tour. Morgan soon gave way to Marvin Winters on the sixth tour however and then Winters began running down Wilson's advantage. Winters was challenging Wilson for the lead on the 11th lap when the caution flag appeared for a stopped Jason Schmidt.
The ensuing restart saw Wilson trip up over the cushion in the first corner and take himself out of contention, remanding control to Winters with Morgan second followed by Jeff Rine and Kyle Lee. Lee and Rine staged a great battle for third for several laps before Rine finally began getting away with the spot. Morgan then began challenging Winters for control and took the lead with 10 laps to go only to see Winters rally and reclaim the spot with six laps left.
Rine was then in the mix and working traffic as he pressured the leaders when he made contact with a slow car with five laps to go in the third turn while working to its inside. The contact found Rine nearly flipping over as his car lifted up and came close to tipping over on the driver's side. That incident sent the lapped car up across the track with Kyle Lee than slamming into it and the outside wall.
While Winters restarted with the lead, he again found a challenge from Morgan who worked by for control by the time lap 21 could be scored. And this time after getting the lead, Morgan held it to the finish. Winters was second followed by 21st starter Andy Haus, Chad Myers and Matt Parks.
Sixth through 10th went to Dave Brouse Jr., Mike Lupfer, Roy Deese Jr., Colton Flinner and Nick Dickson. Heats went to Winters, Lee and Rine with Haus taking the last chance race.
Drivers canvassed the crowd during the two-division event and collected over 5,000 to benefit injured sprint car driver TJ Stutts.

LANCE DEWEASE WINS $12,000 IN 30th ANNUAL MITCH SMITH MEMORIAL AT WILLIAMS GROVE SPEEDWAY FRIDAY NIGHT IN ROUND EIGHT OF PENNSYLVANIA SPRINT CAR SPEEDWEEK
MECHANICSBURG, PA – Even with a top wing problem over the final two laps, Lance Dewease couldn't be beat in the Mitch Smith Memorial Friday night at Williams Grove Speedway.
Dewease's third Grove win of the season was the 90th of his career and tied him with Fred Rahmer for most wins all-time at the track. His victory was worth $12,000 in a car owned by Donnie Kreitz.
The Smith Memorial winner's share was upped to 12K this year after the Smith family posted an extra thousand and the speedway in turn matched their efforts.
The left side board of Dewease's wing began to pull away from the center section creating vision and handling problems during the final few laps, but he held on to his second straight Speedweek win and 26th of his career.
"It was a handful," Dewease said. "I knew I had to run down around the bottom. I was going to use up whoever got along side of me. I was shocked it took that long for somebody to get along side of me. I wasn't going to wreck them, but they were going to have to figure out a way by me. I couldn't see out the right side at all. I was just listening for somebody and I knew I had to move up some and take the lane away from them and use up as much track as I could. Drive 100 miles per hour with three flat tires. That's what it drove like. You're just manhandling it. Using the brake, using the throttle."
Two of Williams Grove's best, Greg Hodnett and Dewease, shared the front row to start the 30-lap main event. It was Hodnett getting the best of Dewease blasting off the turn two cushion while Dewease was on the bottom. The yellow flag flew with five laps completed.
Hodnett controlled the restart. Rico Abreu and defending track champion Freddie Rahmer raced hard for third. Rahmer took it in turn four, but Abreu returned the pass in turn two. Hodnett was up by 1.141 with 10 laps completed.
The leaders reached a pack of slower cars on lap 13. Hodnett had to slow entering turn three and that's all Dewease needed to drive by and into the lead as they raced off turn four. Dewease was slicing through traffic now with 12 laps to go as Rahmer and Abreu continued their battle for third. Rahmer eventually secured the spot and closed on Hodnett and slid in front of him off four taking second with six laps to go. The yellow flew with five laps to go for Jared Esh in turn four. This erased Dewease's two second lead.
Dewease controlled the restart and had the race under control until he was coming down for two to go when the top wing began shifting creating major handling issues.
Hodnett passed Rahmer on the restart and was all over Dewease for the lead, but Dewease made his car as wide as possible. Danny Dietrich drove by Rahmer for third. The top three were nose-to-tail, and sideways, as they raced off turn two on the final lap.
Dewease led them down the back stretch and through turns three and four. Dietrich went all the way to the bottom of turn four trying to get by, but Dewease beat them both back to the line winning by 0.140 over Hodnett and Dietrich.
"I saw Lance's wing and he was having a hard time getting down the straight aways," Hodnett said. "I know how that feels. It's very difficult to keep a straight line. I got a couple runs on him, but if I would have pushed the issue, I would have probably crashed us both."
"Nowhere to go," Dietrich said. "I don't know how Lance drove it like that. I tried everything I could do to get around Greg. I knew Lance would be coming up the race track to block. We came from eighth to third. I wish we could have started up front. We had a fast racecar."
Rahmer and Abreu completed the top five. Lucas Wolfe, Anthony Macri, Tony Stewart, Trey Starks and Chad Trout rounded out the top 10.
Hodnett set fast time over the 35-car field with a lap 17.040. Rahmer, Dietrich, Trout and Starks won the heat races. Gerard McIntyre Jr. won the B-main.
Hodnett leads the Speedweek points by 64 over Rahmer, 65 over Wolfe, and 66 over Dietrich. Starks is fifth and 116 back of Hodnett.
In the 20-lap Mason Dixon Shootout Series event for the 358 late models, Shaun Jones started on the pole and drove into the lead. Justin Weaver raced from fifth to second.
Jones would go unchallenged to the win over Weaver and ninth starting Brad McGinnis. James Lichliter and Alan Sagi completed the top five. Dillan Stake, Craig Wagaman, Bryan Bernheisel, Randy Christine Jr. and Cam Ziegler rounded out the top 10.
Bernheisel, Jones and Stake won the heat races.

Dewease Wins Johnny Grum Memorial at Hagerstown
By Brett Rose
HAGERSTOWN, MD – For the third consecutive year, Lance Dewease drove the Davey Brown prepared, Don Kreitz, Jr. owned No.69k to victory lane at Hagerstown Speedway winning $5,000 in the 30 lap Johnny Grum Memorial in Round 7 of Pennsylvania Sprint Speedweek.
Dewease began the feature event from sixth on the grid and quickly moved into the top five by the fourth circuit and was running in fourth place when a caution flag waved for the spun car of Australian racer Jesse Attard on lap seven.
Pole starter Greg Hodnett led the way from the start and was followed by fellow front row starter Ryan Smith, with Freddie Rahmer in tow ahead of Dewease on the restart.
It took two laps for Dewease to move past Rahmer and Smith into the runner-up spot, albeit about a half-straightaway behind Hodnett. Hodnett held that advantage approximately three seconds ahead of Dewease at the halfway point of the contest.
Hodnett searched his way all over the track in the Mike Heffner No.27 through lapped traffic to keep Dewease at bay, but Dewease persevered along the bottom searching for a line that would allow him to reel in Hodnett's lead.
As the laps wound down toward the end, Dewease pulled to within a couple car lengths of Hodnett. Dewease caught Hodnett with four laps to go, and then made the pass for the lead down low in turn three with three laps remaining.
Once out front, Dewease slightly pulled away to a .522 second advantage over a valiant effort by Hodnett to regain the top spot, but it wasn't enough as Dewease drove to his 16th career win at the Hub City oval where he picked up his first career win 32 years ago in 1986.
"I was running as hard as I could, making sure I hit my marks. Greg (Hodnett) I think was a little better than us tonight, especially early in the feature. I just kept driving hard and found a line that I could get by those lapped cars. He got by those lapped cars earlier better than I could and I finally found a line in turn one and two to get by them a lot easier. I got at him and he stayed out there a little bit in three and I was going by him one way or the other. I didn't know if I could hold him off or not and I just wanted to make sure I didn't lose my pace after that." said Dewease in victory lane.
Hodnett finished second, followed by Smith, Rahmer and Anthony Macri in the top five.
Spencer Bayston had quick time in time trials with a lap of 17.008 seconds, while Hodnett, Macri, and Dewease were heat race winners. Rico Abreu won the B-main.
Notes: 29 cars were pitside for the only 410 Sprint Car race of the season that included former NASCAR champion Tony Stewart in competition for his first ever start at Hagerstown, while former NASCAR driver and World of Outlaws champion Dave Blaney was also racing. Stewart finished 11th, while Blaney finished 17th.
Dewease's win moves him into a three way tie for sixth on the all-time Sprint Car win list with Ray Dovel and Bobby Abel whom each won at Hagerstown for their 16th career wins in 1969.
It also marks the 16th career win at Hagerstown for Kreitz as a car owner including his 13 wins as a driver.

Lucas Wolfe Gets By Dietrich For Port Royal Speedway July 4 Speedweek Win
Buckwalter drives by Michael and Layton for URC victory
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
7/4/18
PORT ROYAL, Pa. – Lucas Wolfe out-maneuvered Danny Dietrich to score a popular victory in Wednesday's Pennsylvania Speedweek event at Port Royal Speedway, worth $7,000.
In the URC Sprint main, after a thrilling battle for the lead between Chad Layton, Curt Michael and Steve Buckwalter, Buckwalter came out on top for the $2,000 checkers.
Danny Dietrich drew the pole for the start of the 30-lap speedweek main for the 410 sprint cars with Greg Hodnett drawing the outside of the front row.
Dietrich got ahead of Hodnett when action began and was still in front on the sixth lap when a third turn flip by Gerard McIntyre Jr. brought out the red flag.
Dietrich continued to lead on the restart with Hodnett and Wolfe in tow and for a while the pair battled for second before Hodnett began tracking down the leader as the race reached the halfway point.
Hodnett darted to Dietrich's outside as the pair exited the fourth turn to complete lap 16 and then appeared headed to the win while Wolfe began battling Dietrich for second.
But then suddenly Hodnett slowed with a flattened front wing with 11 laps to go, handing the point back over to Dietrich with Wolfe and now Trey Starks in a challenging position as well.
The new life for Dietrich lasted only two circuits before Wolfe, whose car was working flawlessly on both sides of the speedway, also drove by Dietrich in the fourth turn to take control with nine laps to go.
Once in control, Wolfe began blasting away from the field, turning the fastest laps of the race with two laps to go.
It was the defending speedweek champions first series win of 2018 and his second overall of the year at Port Royal Speedway while giving him a total of nine on the oval's all time win list.
Wolfe stretched out his margin by the finish to take the win by 4.493 seconds over Dietrich with Trey Starks finishing third.
Fourth went to sixth starter Spencer Bayston of Indiana, who prior to the night had never set eyes on the historic oval.
Tony Stewart rode home fifth.
Sixth through 10th went to Blane Heimbach, Lance Dewease, James McFadden, Freddie Rahmer and Jared Esh.
Heats went to Bayston, Wolfe, Dietrich and Stewart with the consolation going to Jared Esh.
Fast time was set by Hodnett with a lap of 15.352 seconds.
A 90-minute rain shower delayed the start of the program by approximately one hour while also producing lightning-quick speeds on the half-mile.
Chad Layton drew the pole for the start of the 25-lap URC Sprints main and took the lead at the start over Curt Michael.
Michael beat up on Layton repeatedly during the early going, taking the lead more than once only to see Layton dart back to his inside in the third turn and reclaim control.
A caution period on the fifth tour bunched the field and Michael again got the upper hand on Layton but Layton rallied back to reclaim control with eight away, again by executing massive dives low in to the third turn to come up across the track and make the pass.
And while all the racing for the lead was taking place, sixth starter Steve Buckwalter was making tracks to the front while blasting the outside lane and on the ninth tour he completed a two-car pass of both Michael and Layton to net command.
Layton again battled back to reclaim control on several occasions by Buckwalter's high line momentum was always enough to allow him to ride back into the top sot.
Layton got another clear shot on a lap 17 restart with Buckwalter again using his momentum to get out in front, where he stayed for the win.
Layton finished second followed by Eddie Strada, Michael and Josh Weller.
Sixth through 10th went to Jason Shultz, Kyle Reinhardt, Eric Parker, Derek Locke and Kevin Nagy.
Heats went to Michael and Layton.
The race then entered traffic on the 12th tour

HOT SUMMER NIGHT LANDS KYLE LARSON IN GRANDVIEW SPEEDWAY VICTORY LANE, POCKETS $7,000
JEFF STRUNK STUNS THE FIELD WINNING MODIFIED MAIN FROM 23RD PLACE STARTING SPOT
BECHTELSVILLE, PA (July 3, 2018) – It was an Independence Day celebration of speed as a capacity crowd witnessed the NAPA Auto Parts Thunder on the Hill Racing Series action at the Grandview Speedway will star filled field of local and national driving stars. NASCAR Cup Series driver Kyle Larson invaded to claim the Pennsylvania 410 Sprint Car Speedweek victory – round five of the 10-race stretch, while Jeff Strunk picked up the win in the NASCAR 358 Modified main event. The event was presented by Pioneer Pole Buildings as Larson collected $7,000 for his win and Strunk earned an attractive $3,000 first place prize in the modified feature.
"Such an awesome crowd tonight," Larson said in Victory Lane celebrations. "It seemed like a pretty exciting race, at least from my seat, every time I went to the top I'd see Greg Hodnett pull to my inside."
A blind re-draw put James McFadden and Greg Hodnett on the front row of the 35 lap main event. Hodnett – a 9-time Thunder on the Hill winner – quickly jumped to the lead. Larson, who started in the fourth position, moved into contention on the third circuit.
With a 24-car starting field on the one-third-mile, lapped traffic became a factor on the sixth lap, with Larson taking the low-groove and Hodnett taking the high-side to split a lapped car. Larson powered around the bottom claiming the top spot.
The race's first caution flew on lap 9, while circling the track under yellow James McFadden – running in the third position – pulled pitside to change a right rear flat tire.
Larson took command on the restart with Hodnett giving chase, the two diced high-and-low ticking off laps one-by-one, with Larson riding right up against the outside wall.
"It was such a fine line running right up that high, there's such a risk of getting into the wall. I was a little nervous," Larson offered.
With Larson running an extreme outside groove, Hodnett peeked to the inside of Larson's No. 57 machine – before the two swapped lanes with Larson moving to the bottom and Hodnett on the top.
Then came Christopher Bell.
The 23-year-old Sprint Car ace turned NASCAR driver, used momentum and lapped traffic to close on the leaders forming a three-car fight for the win – but ultimately Bell's night would end drastically bunching up the field with a right rear flat and collecting Trey Starks.
Larson outgunned Hodnett on the Lap 32 restart leading the final three circuits and collecting a $7,000 payday and his second consecutive NAPA Auto Parts Thunder on the Hill Series Speedweek victory.
Hodnett would finish in second position, followed by a pair of NASCAR Cup Series superstars Kasey Kahne and Tony Stewart in third and fourth respectively. Danny Dietrich finished in fifth moving from a 12th place starting position.
From a 23rd starting position, Jeff Strunk led the Glenn Hyneman-owned No. 126 to a $3,000 NASCAR 358 Modified payday.
Ryan Watt jumped to the early lead from his front row starting position followed closely by Jared Umbenhaue.. A lap 3 yellow flag slowed the field for the first time.
On the restart, Watt continued on in the top spot with Umbenhauer in second and Craig VonDohren moving into the third position.
The top-three competitors battled side-by-side for the lead, with Umbenhauer slipping past Watt on multiple occasions but unable to hold the top spot.
Lap-by-lap Watt maintained a command on the field with Umbenhauer and VonDohren forming a three car chase for the checkered.
A lap 21 restart offered Strunk an opportunity to pounce, first on VonDohren and then on Umbenhauer one lap later.
Strunk raced outside Watt's No. 14W on the 23rd lap and finally completed the pass after multiple attempts. Strunk would go on to claim his 13th NAPA Auto Parts Thunder on the Hill Racing Series win and his first since 2015.
Watt settled for second place, Craig VonDohren finished in third, Jared Umbenahuer in fourth, and Doug Manmiller in the fifth position.
Thunder Notes
31 410 Sprint Cars and 27 Modifieds were signed in for competition.
Anthony Macri set the 410 Sprint Car Quick Time with a lap of 12.553. Macri set the time on his first circuit around the Speedway, before flipping during his second lap. Macri would go on to get the car repaired for the first heat race.
This marked Kyle Larson's third Grandview Speedway appearance. Larson finished in 3rd at the 2012 Speedweek event that Greg Hodnett won and was the defending race winner after a 2017 victory. Larson was joined in victory lane by his son, Owen.
Former NASCAR Cup Series Champion Tony Stewart was the first 410 Sprint Car to take Time Trials. Stewart clocked in at 7th on the speed charts with a 12.751

DANNY DIETRICH BEATS KYLE LARSON FOR SECOND PENNSYLVANIA SPEEDWEEK WIN
Steve Wilbur beats Billy Brian, Jr. for win in Wingless Super Sportsman Action
ABBOTTSTOWN, PA 7/2/2018 – Danny Dietrich did it again.
Dietrich came from his 5th starting spot to race-down pole-sitter and race-long NASCAR racer Kyle Larson with 10 laps to go, took the lead, and won his 2nd 2018 Pennsylvania Sprint Speedweek show at Lincoln Speedway Monday night.
Larson, fresh off his wild 2nd place NASCAR run the day before at Chicagoland Speedway, started on the pole for the 30-lap feature after setting second-quick time in time trials and finished second in his heat. Larson took the lead at the drop of the green over outside frontrow starter Lucas Wolfe.
Larson maintained a two-second lead as he headed into lapped traffic on the eighth lap as Rico Abreu, who started fourth, got around Wolfe for the runner-up spot.
But Dietrich was on the move from his fifth-starting spot and got third place from Wolfe on lap 11 and then second place on lap 14 as they continued the non-stop hectic pace through lapped traffic.
Dietrich cut the lead to under one second by the 18th lap and closed on Larson’s Bumper as they completed the 19th lap.
Dietrich made his move on the 20th lap by slipping under Larson in the third and fourth turns and led the 20-lap.
Speedweek Series point leader suddenly stopped in turn two with frontend damage before Dietrich and Larson could complete the 21st lap.
Dietrich now led Larson, Abreu, Wolfe, and Ryan Smith for the restart with nine laps to go.
Then it was a battle of styles the rest of the way as Dietrich hugged the inside guardrail while Larson flirted with the outside guardrail.
Suddenly the action stopped with five laps to go as defend Lincoln Speedway Champion Brian Montieth, who was running close to the top-five most of the race, hit the wall in turns one and two and flipped to bring out the red flag on the 26th lap. Montieth was okay.
So now it was a five lap shootout. And the leaders continued where they left off with Larson high, and Dietrich low.
Dietrich held on the rest of the way to take the checkered 1.25-seconds ahead of Larson for his fourth Lincoln win of 2018, and the 42nd of his career to put him into a tie for seventh-place all time with Cris Eash.
Abreu held off Wolfe in a torrid battle for third place. Ryan Smith rounded out the top-five.
Completing the top-10 were Chad Trout, Gerard McIntyre, Jr., Cory Haas, Greg Hodnett, and Kasey Kahne.
Sprint heats were won by Dietrich, Abreu, Kahne, and Smith, with Jim Siegel winning the consolation.
Fast time in time trials for the 38-car 410 Sprint field was set by Chad Trout with a one-lap time of 13.922-seconds (96.969 MPH).
Steve Wilbur passed polesitter and race-long leader Billy Brian, Jr. on the 16 and raced away to the win in the 20-lap wingless super sportsman feature. Steve Drevicki finished third, Joey Biasi fourth, and Carmen Perigo fifth.
Heats for the 23 Wingless Super Sportsman on hand were won by Drevicki, Craig Perigo, and Biasi.

Dietrich cut the lead to under one second by the 18th lap and closed on Larson’s Bumper as they completed the 19th lap.
Dietrich made his move on the 20th lap by slipping under Larson in the third and fourth turns and led the 20-lap.
Speedweek Series point leader suddenly stopped in turn two with frontend damage before Dietrich and Larson could complete the 21st lap.
Dietrich now led Larson, Abreu, Wolfe, and Ryan Smith for the restart with nine laps to go.
Then it was a battle of styles the rest of the way as Dietrich hugged the inside guardrail while Larson flirted with the outside guardrail.
Suddenly the action stopped with five laps to go as defend Lincoln Speedway Champion Brian Montieth, who was running close to the top-five most of the race, hit the wall in turns one and two and flipped to bring out the red flag on the 26th lap. Montieth was okay.
So now it was a five lap shootout. And the leaders continued where they left off with Larson high, and Dietrich low.
Dietrich held on the rest of the way to take the checkered 1.25-seconds ahead of Larson for his fourth Lincoln win of 2018, and the 42nd of his career to put him into a tie for seventh-place all time with Cris Eash.
Abreu held off Wolfe in a torrid battle for third place. Ryan Smith rounded out the top-five.
Completing the top-10 were Chad Trout, Gerard McIntyre, Jr., Cory Haas, Greg Hodnett, and Kasey Kahne.
Sprint heats were won by Dietrich, Abreu, Kahne, and Smith, with Jim Siegel winning the consolation.
Fast time in time trials for the 38-car 410 Sprint field was set by Chad Trout with a one-lap time of 13.922-seconds (96.969 MPH).
Steve Wilbur passed polesitter and race-long leader Billy Brian, Jr. on the 16 and raced away to the win in the 20-lap wingless super sportsman feature. Steve Drevicki finished third, Joey Biasi fourth, and Carmen Perigo fifth.
Heats for the 23 Wingless Super Sportsman on hand were won by Drevicki, Craig Perigo, and Biasi.

DANNY DIETRICH HOLDS OFF LANCE DEWEASE IN NON-STOP 30-LAP SPEEDWEEK THRILLER AT LINCOLN SPEEDWAY
ABBOTTSTOWN, PA 6/30/2018 – In one of the best eight-minute shows a racing fan could ask for, Danny Dietrich fought off a Lance Dewease last-lap, last turn slider and out-raced him to the finish line to win Night 2 of Pennsylvania Speedweek action at Lincoln Speedway Saturday night.
To be precise, it took eight minutes 9.953 seconds to complete 30 laps. Every driver finished. It all came down to the final turns.
Outside frontrow starter Chad Trout got the jump on pole-sitting Dietrich and led the charge for the first nine laps. Trout even fought off a Dietrich slider in turns three and four on lap eight to hang on to the top spot.
But the lapped traffic came into play starting on the fifth lap allowing Dietrich to close the gap and eventually nipped Trout at the line to complete the 10th lap the new leader.
Dietrich took charge at that point and was flying through lapped traffic and had opened up a four second lead after 20 laps were in the books.
All eyes began watching behind Dietrich the final 10 laps as fifth-starting Dewease was making his charge to the front with 10th-starting Brian Montieth in tow.
Dewease and Montieth were closing the gap fast the final five laps but it appeared that Dewease was going to run out of time.
Then on the final lap it appeared Dietrich got loose off the second turn. Dewease closed quickly on Dietrich as they headed up the backstretch was in position to dive under the leader.
And dive he did.
Everyone stood as the pair raced off the final turns to the checkered. Dietrich had carried more speed through the turns and beat Dewease to the line for a wild non-stop 30-lap, $7,000-to-win Speedweek show.
The win was Dietrich’s third of the year, and the 41st of his career at Lincoln Speedway. It was also his seventh career Pennsylvania Speedweek victory.
Montieth settled for third, with fast timer Lucas Wolfe, and Trout finishing fourth and fifth respectively. Completing the top-10 were Greg Hodnett, Freddie Rahmer, Jim Siegel, Trey Starks, and Alan Krimes.
Sprint heats were won by Dietrich, Freddie Rahmer, Dewease, and Jim Siegel, with Robbie Kendall winning the consolation. Fast time in time trials for the 39-car 410 Sprint field was set by Wolfe with a one-lap time of 14.149-seconds (95.413 MPH).

Trey Starks Whips Speedweek Opener Field At Williams Grove Friday
Nouse scores third 358 sprint win of season
6/29/18
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Mechanicsburg – Trey Starks wiped up the field in the opener of the 28th annual Pennsylvania Speedweek Series for sprint cars at Williams Grove Speedway on Friday night, scoring a $5,000 victory over Greg Hodnett.
In the 358 sprint main it was Kevin Nouse of Mechanicsburg scoring for the third time this season while extending his season point lead.
Starks earned the pole for the 25-lap speedweek main for the 410 sprints and entered the rear of the field on the ninth circuit with a lead of over 2.5 seconds.
Chad Trout trailed Starks from the start with Greg Hodnett racing in third.
However after Starks entered traffic, his pace began to falter around the lightning-fast oval surface and both Trout and Hodnett were able to close in.
Trout took a stab at the lead on the 12th tour but Starks was able to recover and maintain control however he benefited from a caution flag that unfurled with 11 laps to go.
The caution was for a slowing Danny Dietrich on the backstretch and it cleared the track for Starks who shot out to a massive advantage when action restarted, turning the fastest laps of the race in the 16-second bracket.
The Washington state leader was way out in front, by more than three seconds when the red flag stopped his pace with four laps to go for a flipping Adrian Shaffer in the fourth corner.
Again Starks jetted away on the restart however this time Hodnett got by Trout for second.
Hodnett failed to close on the leader before the finish however as Starks drove the Scott Gobrecht-owned No. 44 machine across the finish line by a 1.124 second margin.
The victory was the second of Starks' career at the oval as he also took the 2017 speedweek Mitch Smith Memorial, which is coming up next Friday at the track.
Starks admitted in victory lane that some miscues in traffic as he set the pace was what allowed both Trout and Hodnett to catch him before the lap 14 caution flag.
Trout held on for third followed by a stout James McFadden and Brock Zearfoss.
Sixth went to Rico Abreu who had started 17th in the field.
Abreu earned the Hard Charger Award.
Brian Montieth rode home seventh followed by Freddie Rahmer, Cory Haas and Gerard McIntyre Jr.
Heats went to Lance Dewease, McFadden and Trout with Jared Esh taking the consolation race.
Dewease withdrew from the main event near the halfway point.
Fast time was set by Starks with a lap of 16.603 seconds.
Cody Keller led the first 11 laps of the 20 lap main for 358 sprints before he spun in front of the field in the second turn.
This handed the lead to Scott Fisher with Glenndon Forsythe in second and Kevin Nouse running in third.
Shortly after Fisher crossed the stripe to record lap 13 as the leader, his mount came up lame in the first corner and he exited across the top of the second turn.
Not expecting the sudden slowing of Fisher's pace, both Forsythe and Nouse blasted onto his tail and nearly collided.
However Nouse got the better of the deal and was able to squeeze by for the lead as Forsythe had to briefly hit the binders before continuing on.
Once at the front, Nouse was never challenged for the win.
Forsythe, Rodney Westhafer, Jeff Halligan and Troy Wagaman Jr. rounded out the top five finishers.
Heats went to Forsythe, Keller and Fisher.

Abrue Makes The Most Of First-Ever Start At Selinsgrove Speedway
SELINSGROVE, Pa. (July 9, 2017) — Second-place starter Rico Abreu of St. Helena, Calif., led polesitter Anthony Macri at the start of the Jan Opperman/Dick Bogar Memorial Sunday in the PA Sprint Car Speedweek finale presented by Middleswarth Potato Chips at Selinsgrove Speedway.
Macri, running his first full Speedweek, pulled to Abreu’s rear bumper on lap 11 while Abreu, an established nationwide star also running his first full Speedweek and making his first career start at Selinsgrove, negotiated his way through lap traffic before Marci’s car slowed to a stop after losing an engine on the home stretch.
Once the green flag came back out Abreu drove away from third-place starter Danny Dietrich who had climbed to second.
Dietrich needed to win and to have sixth-place starter Lucas Wolfe finish eighth or worse to claim his second Speedweek title in a row. Wolfe was in search of his third title.
As Dietrich kept close tabs on race leader Abreu, Wolfe battled just outside the top five in sixth.
The car on the move after the restart for the Macri issue was Blane Heimbach. Heimbach raced his way into the top five and then grabbed fourth from Greg Hodnett on lap 16.
By the lap 20 mark, Abreu had opened a three second lead. Dietrich started to make up ground, cutting the lead down to one second, while Abreu again began to tip toe through lap traffic. This time the story was different though as Dietrich never got close enough to challenge Abreu.
At the end of the 30 lap feature, Abreu was the driver out front claiming the $5,000 in his first central Pennsylvania 410 sprint car win in the Always Racing Speedweek finale.
In victory lane Abreu said he was pacing himself through traffic knowing he could only go as fast as the cars in front of him. He added that one of his biggest support groups is in central Pennsylvnia and he thanked the fans for their support of not only him, but the week in general. Abreu showed his appreciation by joining fans after the race in the grandstand area at his merchandise trailer to sign autographs.
Danny Dietrich’s second place effort was not enough to net last year’s Speedweek winner and champion a second title. Lucas Wolfe crossed the line in seventh adding his third Spedweek crown (2007, 14, 17). Wolfe credited his team and their efforts all week, but admitted he was a little disappointed the team didn’t get a victory considering how strong they were leading into the week. This is Wolfe’s third title with three different teams. Wolfe won the Ray Tilly Classic at Selinsgrove Speedway in June.
Abreu, Dietrich, Dale Blaney, Heimbach, and Greg Hodnett were the top five. It was Blaney’s third third- place finish of the week.
Former 358 Sprint Car winner at Selinsgrove Speedway Brock Zearfoss was sixth followed by Wolfe, TJ Stutts, James McFadden, and Ryan Smith.
The SprintCarUnlimited.com fast time award was presented to Trey Starks. Fast Tees also put up a bonus that was presented to George Streaker.
Heat races went to Hodnett, Blaney, and Dietrich and the B-main was won by Tyler Walker.
In the 305 Sprint Car feature Kyle Ganoe was running third when the top two tangled in turns three and four and Ganoe inherited the race lead. The old adage that sometimes it’s better to be lucky than good came to mind, although Ganoe was running strong. Anytime a driver can jump from third to first is a good break.
Austin Bishop led early before he and Tyler Reeser got together on lap nine. Both drivers were out of the event. Reeser was running the high side of the speedway and Ganoe did the same the rest of the event getting away from any challenges from second place Jaremi Hanson for the win.
Hanson, Zach Newlin, Nathan Gramley, and Dave Grube were the top five finishers. Cale Reigle, Mike Alleman, George Riden, Erin Statlern, and Jared Sionkowski made up the top ten finishers.
Hanson and Ganoe were heat race winners.
The A&A Pro Stocks were on the card as the night cap and gave the fans a thriller as Shaun Lawton made a bold outside move to pass Kyle Bachman for second and then race leader AJ Hoffman as well for the lead.
Hoffman led the field, which predominantly ran the inside line, for the first nine laps of the 15 lap feature. Lawton was able to make the move on the outside line on lap ten and never looked back on his way to his second win of the season.
Dustin Snook recovered from an early race accident to finish second followed by Bachman, Tommy Slanker, and Hoffman. Jake Buck, Bill Conrad, Nick Gentile, Lori Croop, and AJ Stroup finished out the top ten.
Bachman won the heat race for the Pro Stocks.
The ninth annual Jeff’s Auto Body & Recycling Center Driver & Fan Appreciation Night Saturday, July 15, at Selinsgrove Speedway will offer plenty of giveaways for race fans, FREE child and student general admission for ages 17 and younger, plus bonus money for the top three finishers in the 360 sprint car, late model, pro stock, and roadrunner feature events. Race time is 7:30 p.m.

Dewease Wins Port Royal 103rd In 7K Speedweek Event
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
7/8/17
Port Royal – Lance Dewease scored the 103rd sprint car victory of his career at Port Royal Speedway on Saturday night, taking $7,000 in the 27th annual Pennsylvania Speedweek 30-lap event for 410 sprint cars.
In the 25-lap Moon Shine Camo Rt. 35 Dirt Late Model Challenge Series, Danville’s Jeff Rine pulled out a squeaker after a duel with Coleby Frye.
Only the first lap of the 30-lap speedweek feature for sprint cars was completed when Matt Campbell stopped on the frontchute with rear end issued on his machine.
Polesitter Dale Blaney led the first lap over fourth starter Dewease of Fayetteville.
On the restart, Blaney tried hard to hold off Dewease’s challenge but he could only control the event for one more lap before Dewease rode the inside lane in the first and second turns to take control.
And when he got to the front, he began pulling away, entering the rear of the field on the eighth lap to start working traffic while holding a 2.38 second lead with 10 laps completed.
At the halfway point, Dewease had built his advantage to 4.02 seconds with Lucas Wolfe chasing him in second spot.
Wolfe started second in the field and took second from Blaney on the eighth tour as Dewease entered traffic.
With 12 laps to go, another caution flag regrouped the field, wiping out what was by that time a 6.06 second lead for Dewease.
The caution flag appeared after 11th runner Danny Dietrich hit the outside first turn wall and developed a right rear flat tire.
Blaney, Trey Starks and Greg Hodnett followed the lead pair when action resumed.
Wolfe was unable to mount a challenge on the restart and Dewease drove off, headed to the victory but a final caution flag with two laps to go for a stopped Rico Abreu slowed his pace again.
Abreu started 10th in the field and was racing seventh at the time.
Dewease again got away on the final restart, taking his second win of this speedweek by 1.856 seconds, ahead of Wolfe, Blaney, Starks and Hodnett.
Sixth through 10th went to Blane Heimbach, Freddie Rahmer, Brock Zearfoss, Mike Wagner and Dylan Cisney.
The mid and late stages of the race showcased a spirited and hectic five-car battle for fourth between Starks, Hodnett, Heimbach, Zearfoss and James McFadden.
McFadden ended up with a left front flat tire on the 18th lap and had to rejoin at the rear of the field.
Heats for the 38-car field went to Danny Dietrich, James McFadden, Greg Hodnett and Brock Zearfoss with Matt Campbell taking the consolation race.
Fast time was set by Dewease with a lap of 16.153 seconds.
After Port Royal, Wolfe took the speedweek point lead going into the final race of the series on Sunday night at Selinsgrove Speedway.

Trey Starks Scores Big At Williams Grove In Speedweek Mitch Smith Memorial
7/7/17
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Mechanicsburg – West Coast talent met East Coast history and prestige on Friday night as Puyallup, Washington’s Trey Starks picked up the $10,000 to win Mitch Smith Memorial for sprint cars at Williams Grove Speedway in a dominating performance.
Starks wired the field for his first career Williams Grove victory that came in the biggest race to be run in the 27th annual Pennsylvania Speedweek Series for 410 sprint cars.
Originally slated to start third in the field, Starks slid to the pole in the 30-lap Smith Memorial when the initial start was called back and the first and second rows were swapped for the next attempted start.
Only one caution period slowed the race pace, after just the first lap was completed, when Rodney Westhafer stopped in the fourth turn.
The final 29 circuits went non-stop at a dizzying pace on the lightning-fast surface that was wetted by a late day shower.
Starks had amassed a straightaway lead over the field by the seventh circuit and he entered the backmarkers just one tour later.
Matt Campbell tried to keep Starks in sight during the early going but it took traffic for Campbell to narrow the gap, which he did to a one-turn advantage with one-third of the race completed.
But Campbell would succumb to the advances of Brock Zearfoss at the halfway point and then Zearfoss gave Starks his only challenge of the event when he was able to sneak in amid heavy and hectic traffic with 11 laps to go.
Zearfoss had been able to dial in the leader as Starks tried repeatedly to work the outside lane to put cars a lap down but after nearly flipping his sprinter on more than one occasion as he thundered through the corners, Starks pulled back to the inside and instead chose to bide his time, looking for opportunities to move forward on the low side.
And that strategy proved to be a winning one for Starks who then was able to open up another sizeable lead during the final eight laps, pulling out to another straightaway advantage at the finish.
Starks’ win came by 4.148 seconds over Zearfoss, Aaron Ott, Campbell and Lucas Wolfe.
Ott moved into third with nine laps to go but failed to mount any further challenges.
Sixth through 10th went to Ryan Smith, James McFadden, Lance Dewease, Danny Dietrich and Greg Hodnett.
Heats went to Ott, Zearfoss, Eric Tomecek and McFadden with Cory Haas taking the consolation race.
Fast time was set by Ryan Smith with a lap of 16.648 seconds.

Dewease Takes Johnny Grum Memorial/PA Speedweek Checkers
By Brett Rose
HAGERSTOWN, MD – In front of a huge crowd assembled on a Wednesday evening that packed the punch of some nationally known superstars, Lance Dewease drove his way through the field to the checkered flag in the 1st annual 30 Lap, $5,000 to win Johnny Grum Memorial.
Thirty-six 410 Sprint Cars signed into the pit area, and T.J. Stutts drove his No.11 machine to a quick lap of 15.580 seconds around the Hub City oval. It was the third straight quick time of PA Sprint Speedweek for the Liverpool, PA racer.
Freddie Rahmer shared the front row with former World of Outlaws champion Dave Blaney, and immediately put his No.51 into the lead. Rahmer began to pull away as Rico Abreu and Danny Dietrich began battling Blaney for the runner-up spot.
Dewease began marching through the field from his tenth-place start, and was up to third by Lap 14. A spin on the backstretch by James McFadden brought out the only caution of the feature at the halfway point.
Shortly after the restart, Rahmer sped away as Dewease passed Abreu for second on Lap 17. Rahmer hit lapped traffic on Lap 22, and that allowed Dewease to close in on the lead. The Fayetteville, PA veteran caught Rahmer, and made the pass for the lead in the Don Kreitz, Jr. No. 69k on the low side coming off of turn two with just three laps remaining.
Dewease drove on to victory to record his 15th career win at Hagerstown Speedway, and won the Pennsylvania Sprint Speedweek race at Hagerstown for the second straight year.
In his winner’s interview, Dewease said: “Tonight was a great night. We weren’t very good there in the heat race, and they kept working hard on it, and got it better. I’m glad I ain’t gonna have to race Little Freddie (Rahmer) the rest of my career, because he’ll be racing way longer than I’ll be racing. He’s turning into a helluva good racer in a little bit of time, and my hat’s off to him, his dad, and everybody on that team.”
“He probably had a little bit better car than me, but he just kinda didn’t know what to do with a couple of those lapped cars, and I hit a couple of those cars pretty good, got a good run at him, and it’s always easier when your second with lapped cars than what it is in the lead.”

KYLE LARSON HOLDS OFF THE PENNSYLVANIA POSSE’S FINEST. . . .
WINS THUNDER SERIES PA SPRINT FEATURE AS DUANE HOWARD TOPS 43 CAR MODIFIED FIELD
BECHTELSVILLE, PA (July 4, 2017) -- On a Fourth of July celebration of speed, Kyle Larson wowed a jam-packed NAPA Auto Parts Thunder on the Hill Racing Series crowd and claimed his third straight Pennsylvania 410 Sprint Car Speedweek victory, while Duane Howard scored the win in the NASCAR Modified 30-lap event at the Grandview Speedway on Tuesday Night in an event presented by Pioneer Pole Buildings at the Grandview Speedway.
Larson may have taken the checkered flag, but the region’s top Sprint Car aces – dubbed the Pennsylvania Posse – didn’t take it easy on the current NASCAR Cup Series Point Leader.
“I felt like I was playing defense all night, tonight,” Larson said in Victory Lane. “Ryan Smith had a great car. I definitely got a little lucky.”
Ryan Taylor and Greg Hodnett led the field to the drop of the fireworks filled 410 Sprint Car A-Main. On the initial start, Larson – who started in the third position – shot inside Taylor in a three-wide battle for the lead. Hodnett and Larson engaged in an expert duel for the top spot, until contact between the two sent Hodnett’s No. 27 machine spinning towards the outside guardrail.
Larson set a rapid pace on the restart, with TJ Stutts challenging for the lead. A lap 8 caution stacked the field, and a three-wide battle for the second spot ensued with Stutts holding off Taylor and Rico Abreu. It would be Abreu and Stutts with the short straw after contact between the two left both cars spinning.
Maintaining the lead through consecutive yellows, Larson pulled away from the pack at Lap 11 with Taylor battling Ryan Smith for second place. The red flag flew for the first time on the 12th circuit when, three-time Thunder on the Hill winner, Tyler Walker got upside down in spectacular fashion, collecting Brandon Rahmer in the process.
While Larson held a comfortable lead on the restart, Ryan Smith began closing in – looking to end Larson’s five-race Sprint Car win streak.
A full-house of race fans leaped to their feet when Smith muscled around Larson exiting turn 2, carrying that momentum into turn 3 before clipping the wall, sending The Warko Group No. 94 of Smith flipping wildly into the third turn. A dejected – but unscathed -- Smith exited the car to a standing ovation from race fans.
Inaugural Thunder Cup winner, Danny Dietrich would restart in the second position – but Larson was too quick for ‘Double D’. Aside from the leader, Dietrich had his hands full with third-place runner Freddie Rahmer who maneuvered his way into the second spot with five laps remaining.
Larson held the lead for the remaining five circuits claiming his third consecutive Pennsylvania Speedweek win – and his first NAPA Auto Parts Thunder on the Hill Racing Series victory. Freddie Rahmer finished in second – from an 18th-place starting position, Danny Dietrich in third, Ryan Taylor in fourth and Alan Krimes fifth.
Oley, PA’s Duane Howard claimed his second consecutive NAPA Auto Parts Thunder on the Hill Racing Series win steering the Norm’s Save Station No. 357 machine. Howard – who started in the fourth position – powered around the outside of Craig VonDohren on the 15th lap and went unchallenged throughout the remainder of the 30-lap NASCAR 358 Modified feature event.
VonDohren brought the Dick Biever-owned No. 14s home in the second position, Ryan Godown of Ringoes, NJ finished in third from a 12th-place starting position, popular NY Modified driver Anthony Perrego finished in the fourth spot, and Mike Gular rounded out the top five.
The next NAPA Auto Parts Thunder on the Hill Racing Series event at Grandview Speedway takes place on Thursday, August 17. The 3rd Annual Thunder Cup event features the Arctic All Star Circuit of Champions – with 3-time NASCAR Cup Series Champion, Tony Stewart and popular dirt-track driver, Rico Abreu competing in action.

LARSON WOWS HUGE CROWD WITH “BAD ASS WIN” IN PENNSYLVANIA SPEEDWEEK SHOW AT LINCOLN SPEEDWAY
Steve Wilbur claims first sprint car win in 358s, becomes 11th winner in 12 races so far this year
ABBOTTSTOWN, PA – July 3, 2017 – NASCAR Monster Energy points leader Kyle Larson made it official in Monday night’s Pennsylvania Speedweek show at Lincoln Speedway. There is NOTHING he can’t do in a race car.
“I’ve now won in Central PA! This is bad ass!!” exclaimed Larson following a wing dance in victory lane, “Last night (at Path Valley) was my style of track and tonight wasn’t, so this is awesome to get the win in front of a huge crowd here. I thank all of you for coming out.”
Time trials and a four-car inversion for the feature placed NASCAR stars Kasey Kahne and Larson beside each other on row five for the start. Larson quickly went to the top and to the front, advancing to fourth by the end of the third lap.
He caught Trey Starks for third a lap later, took second from third-starting Alan Krimes on lap six, and then made his race-winning move around polesitter and race-long leader Lucas Wolfe.
“I couldn’t believe the top was that good. I’ve watched so many videos of Krimes here cruising around the bottom, so I knew I was going to have move down eventually,” said Larson, “I wasn’t very good down there, and I could hear him right behind me. I had to make sure I didn’t miss my marks too bad and slip up off the bottom for him to get underneath me.”
Krimes, who pressured Larson over the second half of the race after catching Wolfe for second on lap 14, settled for second, .34-seconds behind the winner. Third through fifth were outside front row starter Dale Blaney, Wolfe, and Starks. Sixth through tenth were 13th-starting Danny Dietrich, PA Speedweek points leader Freddie Rahmer (who came from 17th), Tim Glatfelter, Gerard McIntyre, Jr., and 19th-starting Cory Haas.
“It’s been a heck of-a-year for me. Every time I get on the track on Sundays I feel like I have a shot to win. This is five winged sprint car wins in a row. And especially a win here at Lincoln. This is a tough place. They kicked my butt here the couple times I’ve been here. I’m really excited to win for all you fans.”
“I wish we could go full-time racing, but Sundays kinda take up my time,” quipped Larson, “Someday we’ll do this again full time and I’m looking forward to it!”
Heats for the sprints were won by Starks, Wolfe, Brian Montieth (who spun out while running fifth on lap 17 of the feature and was scored 24th), Glatfelter, with Ryan Smith (subbing for Doug Esh in the Mark Coldren #07) winning the B-Main.
Fast time in time trials was set by TJ Stutts over the 42-car field with a one-lap time of 13.684-seconds (98.655 MPH).
Steve Wilbur started on the front row and led every lap for his first Lincoln “358”sprint car win. He became the 11th different winner in 12 races in the Pigeon Hills this year.
Ryan Higgins and C.J. Tracy ran second and third the entire way, with Jeff Halligan and Doug Hammaker completing the top five. Brie Hershey slowed to a stop on the backstretch while running fourth on lap 11.
Heats for the 31 358 Sprints were won by Trey Hivner, Kyle Abrahims, Wilbur, and Troy Wagaman, Jr., with Phil Walter winning the consolation.

Kyle Larson Earns First Central PA Victory
Spring Run, PA – July 3, 2017 – The Elk Grove, C.A. native, Kyle Larson, crossed a victory off of his bucket list Sunday evening at Path Valley Speedway for Fred Rahmer Promotions Pennsylvania Speedweek event in front of a standing room only crowd.
The fourth annual Fred Rahmer Promotions event at the ¼-mile dirt track marked night three for Pennsylvania Speedweek.
Tyler Walker and Brock Zearfoss led the 24-car field to the initial green flag for the 40-lap main event.
Right from the drop of the green Zearfoss quickly grabbed the lead as they dove into turn one and two over Walker as Walker scattered and fell back to fifth-place.
Zearfoss caught lap traffic on lap five as fourth-place starter, Larson, began to put pressure on his rear bumper
Larson was able to take aantage of the lapped traffic and drive his car through multiple racing lanes to slide by Zearfoss for the lead on lap seven.
“Zearfoss was good all day,” Larson said. “Traffic was really intense. He got caught up in traffic and it got really tight in one and two. I got underneath him and just tried making sure I hit my marks.”
Sixth-place starter, Rico Abreu, began to real in on Zearfoss for second right before the second caution of the night waved on lap ten.
Kyle Moody, who started eighth, snuck under Wolfe on the backstretch and advanced to fourth-place on lap 18.
Pole starter, Walker, and Dan Shetler made contact and spun going into turn three on lap 19, bringing out the third caution of the night.
Larson led the field at the halfway mark over Zearfoos, Wolfe, Moody and Abreu.
At the checkers it was all Larson as he drove his No.24 sprint car to victory lane to pick up the $5,000 payday.
“It feels good,” smiled Larson in victory lane. “It’s been tough for me a few times when I’ve come out to Central PA. I know this isn’t your typical PA racetrack but I’m counting it as a win. Hats off to my crew. I honestly didn’t feel that good at the start of the feature but we got rolling pretty good. We got decent there late.”
Sunday evening was Larson’s first ever Central PA victory.
“It’s always tough when you come to PA,” he said. “To get a win here has been on my bucket list. I struggled here in 2012 and 2013 when I came out here so it’s cool to get a win on our first night of Speedweek. Hopefully we get some more. We have three more nights to get some wins.”
Runner up, Zearfoss, was bummed with his cars performance but was overall satisfied to finish second to Larson.
“We started out pretty good,” said Zearfoss. “I just need to get a little better in traffic. This is what Larson races on all the time so finishing second to him was pretty cool. I wish we could have beat him. I got under him a couple times there. Second place still isn’t bad though, so we’ll take it.
Wolfe in the No.24 sprint car capped off the evening with a third-place finish.
“It was an exciting feature,” said Wolfe. “With all of the holes in different spots it was hard to predict what was going to happen especially with fuel early. Everybody made it through the first couple of laps. There were certain spots in traffic where it was pretty tight. It got pretty racy the last 20-laps which gave me a few different options to move around. Fortunately we were able to salvage a different night here and come in third.”
The 600cc Micro Sprints were removed from the schedule after an incident on the track during their first heat race. The driver was treated by emergency personnel immediately according to safety protocol and was transported. The Rahmer family is hoping for the best for the injured driver.
The Micro Sprints will be rescheduled. The date has yet to be determined. Fred Rahmer noted that the purse will be bigger for the micros and hopes for an even bigger turnout.
Abreu collected an extra $700 courtesy of Emory Transmissions for the quick time award in time trials.
19th-place starter, Brian Montieth, picked up the hard charger award after passing eight cars during the feature and finishing seventh. Montieth collected an extra $500 courtesy of Wayne S. Corini – CPA>

DANNY DIETRICH HOLDS OFF DEWEASE AND ABREU FOR LINCOLN PENNSYLVANIA SPEEDWEEK WIN
ABBOTTSTOWN, PA – July 1, 2017 – Danny Dietrich continued to impress in Saturday night’s Pennsylvania Speedweek show at Lincoln Speedway, claiming the $7,000 to prize in the 18th Annual Kevin Gobrecht Memorial for 410 sprint cars.
Time trials, qualifying, and an inversion of “6” for the feature placed Dietrich alongside Freddie Rahmer on the outside of of row two for the start.
Outside front row starter Trey Starks led the first ten laps before polesitter Rico Abreu took over on lap 11. Dietrich charged by both Starks and Abreu for the lead on lap 12. Though he led the rest of the way in the non-stop 30 lap feature, he had to deal with a closing Lance Dewease over the final eight laps. Dewease, who started sixth, moved into second with eight laps to go, and actually pulled inside Dietrich in heavy lapped traffic on turns three and four of lap 24. But Dietrich shut the door exiting the turn and pulled away to a .75-second victory at the end, his second win in a row, sixth Lincoln win of the year, and 37th of his career in the Pigeon Hills.
“That was pretty good show,” said Dietrich in victory lane after completing the 30-lap event in eight minutes, 10.303 seconds, “I wasn’t really good there at the end. I thought Lance was definitely going to catch me. I think I saw him one time. I started to play defense. I don’t like playing defense, but I’m glad to be standing here.”
“Hats off to this crew back here…Tony, Jake, Jordan, and Tyler…they bust their butts all week long,” continued Dietrich, “I wasn’t in the shop much with other things going on, and it feels good to be standing here again. I’m not sure I had a fast car at the end. We have to get working on the end of the race a little bit.”
Dewease settled for second, with Abreu, James McFadden, and Speedweek point leader Freddie Rahmer rounding out the top five. Sixth through tenth were 11th-starting Alan Krimes, 13th-starting Brandon Rahmer, Lucas Wolfe, Matt Campbell, and Starks.
Heats for the sprints were won by Dewease, Starks, Abreu, and Greg Hodnett, with Chad Trout winning the B-Main. Fast time in time trials was set by Dewease over the 42-car field with a one-lap time of 13.468-seconds (100.238 MPH).

FREDDIE RAHMER OPENS PENNSYLVANIA SPRINT CAR SPEEDWEEK WITH WILLIAMS GROVE VICTORY
MECHANICSBURG, PA – Freddie Rahmer grabbed the lead from TJ Stutts on lap 14 and went on to win the Pennsylvania Sprint Car Speedweek opener Friday night at Williams Grove Speedway.
Rahmer, 21, of Salfordville, earned $5,000 for his third Grove win of the season. It was his first career Speedweek win. His dad has the most Speedweek wins with 30. He also extended his point lead as he’s finished in the top three in eight of 10 races run.
“The track threw me off all night long,” said Rahmer. “There was a big, chunky curb all night. I didn’t do a good job until the feature. They ran the track in and the bottom came in a little bit. We were pretty good.”
Lance Dewease was scheduled to start second, but pitted as the field was lining up. T.J Stutts started on the pole and took the lead. Rahmer moved up to the fourth starting spot and took second from fast timer Trey Starks. Lucas Wolfe and Starks traded sliders in the first and second turns as Stutts continued to lead.
The red flag flew with four laps completed for a hard backstretch crash by Matt Campbell.
Rahmer went after the lead on the restart and the racing was very close in the second corner with Stutts maintaining the top spot. More close racing on the frontstretch as James McFadden got by Wolfe for fourth.
The caution flew with six laps completed when Cory Haas stopped in turn four. McFadden and Wolfe went after each other again on the restart.
Rahmer stayed with Stutts for a few laps, but then began to lose some ground.
By lap 11, Rahmer began to close again. He drove under Stutts in turn three and slid in front of him completing lap 14 as the race leader.
“I knew I had to bide my time for our racecar,” said Rahmer. “TJ was exceptional at the beginning, but he got a little loose. I couldn’t keep up with him early.”
As Rahmer secured the lead, McFadden and Wolfe passed Starks. .
Rahmer’s lead was 2.4 seconds with five laps to go.
A slowing sprinter on the frontstretch brought the field under caution with two laps remaining.
Rahmer controlled the restart as Wolfe once again tried to take third from McFadden, but couldn’t safely get by.
Rahmer scored his third Grove win of the season by 0.986 and extended his point lead.
“It’s my mom’s birthday on July 1st so this one’s for her,” said Rahmer. “I’m happy with where we’re at so far and I think we can keep digging here.”
Stutts, McFadden, Wolfe and Brian Montieth completed the top five. Starks, Dale Blaney, Greg Hodnett, Aaron Ott and Danny Dietrich rounded out the top 10.
Starks set fast time over the 31-car field with a lap of 16.708. Wolfe, Dewease, Stutts and Zearfoss followed Starks in qualifying time trials.
Stutts, Zearfoss and Freddie Rahmer won the eight-lap heat races. Jordan Givler won the consolation.
Speedweek continues Saturday night at Lincoln Speedway.
In the 358 Sprint feature, Troy Wagaman Jr. grabbed the lead at the start and led all 20 laps to score the win.
The first caution flag flew on lap five. Phil Walter took the runner-up spot on the restart, but couldn’t close on the leader. Adrian Shaffer and Kevin Nouse also moved up.
The caution flew again on lap 13 and Wagaman controlled the restart. Shaffer and Nouse passed Walter to move up a spot.
Shaffer couldn’t catch Wagaman as he continued to blast the cushion and scored the win. Shaffer, Nouse, Walter, and Brie Hershey completed the top five. Chad Trout, DJ DeHaven, Chris Frank, Jared Esh and Brett Wanner rounded out the top 10.
Hershey, Matt Findley and Franks won the heat races.

McFadden/Highlands shake things down at Port
Will follow entire PA Sprint Speedweek tour
By Fully Injected Motorsports
PORT ROYAL, PA (June 27, 2017) - The long awaited return of Australian fan favorite James McFadden to the Highlands Tire #3 was delayed an extra night thanks to Mother Nature forcing Williams Grove to cancel. The duo made their first start of the season Saturday night at Port Royal, survived an opening lap melee, and finished seventh in the feature from 16th.
“We weren’t that good to be honest. A couple of mechanical issues and some driver errors,” McFadden said. McFadden is coming off a career year back home in Australia. McFadden did not disappoint in his first year driving the famous Monte Motorsports #W17 capturing the World Series of Sprint Cars Title, as well as scoring his first career Grand Annual Sprint Car Classic win in January.
Now stateside, McFadden and Highlands have teamed up once again and plan to run a similar schedule they did last summer. “If things go well, we are planning on running all of Speedweek,” McFadden said in anticipation of the 10 race in 10 nights series.
The team is planning on once again competing at the Kings Royal, Ironman 55 and Knoxville Nationals this summer.
To keep up with James tour be sure to follow his Facebook account at https://www.facebook.com/jamesmcfaddenracing/ and his Twitter @JamesMcFadden25.

RAIN STOPS THUNDER SERIES ON LAP FIFTEEN OF SPRINT FEATURE TUESDAY NIGHT AT GRANDVIEW SPEEDWAY
BECHTELSVILLE, PA (June 28, 2016) – Rain has not been a friend to Thunder on the Hill and Tuesday night was no different as the Pennsylvania 410 Sprint Speed Week Series invaded the Grandview Speedway for event one-hundred and twenty of the NAPA Auto Parts Thunder on the Hill Racing Series presented by Pioneer Pole Buildings. Feature race leader Ryan Smith made contact with another car sending him spinning into the first turn infield on lap fifteen. At the same time, the light mist of rain opened to a down pour. The sprint cars returned to the pits to wait out the shower. The amount of rain that fell over the twenty-five minute delay, was just too much for even the Grandview Speedway track crew to correct. As a result, the event was postponed with the completion of this show to take place on the Tuesday night, July 26.
The remainder of the event – a 410 Sprint car feature starting at lap 16 and a 30-lap Modified feature will be run, along with a complete show for both divisions. The complete show, includes the 410 Sprint Cars in the 2nd Annual Thunder Cup, a 35-Lap, $5,000 to win feature plus a 30-lap, $3,000 to win NASCAR 358 Modified main event.
At the start of the 35 lap Speed Week feature, Brent Marks, of Myerstown, PA, jumped to the early lead with Ryan Smith and Freddie Rahmer following quickly. Darting around the quick 1/3-mile high-banks, Marks set a rapid pace but Smith challenged back sliding into the lead on the fourth circuit.
The yellow flag flew for the first time on the sixth lap for Sean Zemunik and Jevon Ahner who tangled in turn four.
On the restart, Smith charged forward, while eight-time Thunder on the Hill winner Greg Hodnett raced into the runner-up spot from the sixth place starting position. Smith, “The Kunkletown Kid” to his fans, powered forward before tangling with a lapped car on the fifteenth lap.
TJ Stutts set fast time with a lap of 11.763. For Stutts, this was his first visit to Grandview in a 410 sprint car. Sprint heat races were won by Bryan Clauson, Brent Marks and Ryan Smith. In the Modifieds, heat race events were won by Duane Howard and Ryan Grim
The next NAPA Auto Parts Thunder on the Hill Racing Series event takes place on Thursday, July 14 when the Super DIRTCar Series Big-Block Modifieds compete at the 19th Annual Traffic Jam presented by Pioneer Pole Buildings. The Modifieds will compete in a 60-lap event paying $7,000 to win that pays $1,000 for 10th and $500 to Start a 30-car field.

WHEEL-TO-WHEEL: HODNETT HOLDS OFF CLAUSON AND MARKS FOR PARTY AT PATH VALLEY SPEEDWEEK VICTORY
SPRING RUN, PA (June 26, 2016) – Greg Hodnett picked up the 410 Sprint Car victory in the Fred Rahmer Promotions Harry Fletcher Memorial event at the Path Valley Speedway as part of Pennsylvania Sprint Car Speedweek.
Hodnett, of Thomasville, PA, started from the top spot but claiming the $6,600 top prize was no easy task as Hodnett battled with Noblesville, IN’s Bryan Clauson side-by-side for more than 30 circuits.
“Clauson is a fierce competitor. He wins in everything he drives, we raced very hard and very clean. I’m fortunate to compete with someone like him” Hodnett explained to MRN Radio’s Winged Nation host, Steve Post in Victory Lane. “I struggle with these smaller race tracks, I credit this win to my guys who do a great job on this car for these races.”
With Hodnett leading them down to the green flag, trouble brewed early. Rodney Westhafer lightly rolled over in turn 1 bringing the red flag out on the initial start and leading to a complete restart.
Hodnett bolted out in front of the 24-car field, while Lucas Wolfe overtook front-row starter Aaron Ott in the first corner and slide up in front of Hodnett exiting turn four one-lap later.
As the field approached lapped traffic on the sixth circuit, Wolfe and Hodnett would swap the top spot twice. Hodnett pulled inside Wolfe exiting turn two, followed by Wolfe performing a slide job on Hodnett exiting turn four.
Hodnett set steady in the top spot on the eighth lap. With heavy lapped traffic approaching, Clauson – who started in the fifth position – slipped passed Wolfe and into the second position.
Hodnett and Clauson fought wheel-to-wheel, using lapped traffic and crisscrossing grooves. On the 16th circuit Hodnett slid in front of Clauson exiting turn two, forcing Clauson to brake heavily. As Hodnett powered forward Clauson charged back, taking over the top spot briefly just passed the halfway mark, only to forfeit the lead back to Hodnett.
Weaving in and out of lapped traffic on the 27th lap, Hodnett powered off the top groove diving below the cars of Brock Zearfoss and Tyler Ross – a bold move that distanced him from Clauson. Almost simultaneously Brent Mark of Myerstown, PA, came out of nowhere to challenge for the second position.
The field slowed for the final time on lap 32, when Australian competitor Sean Zemunik rolled over in turn 4 forcing a red flag.
A single file restart sealed the deal as Hodnett held off Clauson and Marks to claim his 26th Pennsylvania Sprint Car Speedweek victory. Lucas Wolfe came home in fourth position, Ryan Smith of Kunkleton, PA finished in the fifth spot.
Danny Dietrich of Gettyburg, PA finished in sixth, Ohio invader Cole Duncan finished seventh, Alan Krimes in 8th, Aaron Ott in 9th and Mike Wagner rounded out the top ten.
The next Party at the Path event takes place on Sunday, August 28 at the Path Valley Speedway and will feature the 410 Sprint Cars and the 600cc Micro Sprints.
