Josh Richards wins Red Miley Rumble, Mike Johnson wins rescheduled PENNational in doubleheader at PPMS for UFo Race Championship
By: UFo Race Championship

Imperial, PA (August 28) On Saturday night there was a doubleheader at Pittsburgh's Pennsylvania Motor Speedway. The regularly scheduled 44-lap Red Miley Rumble was won by Josh Richards from Shinnston, WV, earning him in excess of $4,000 as numerous individual sponsorships increased every position in the race. Also on tap in the co-sanctioned show between the UFo Race Championship and ULMS Racing Series was a makeup race from the PENNational event on July 24, when the second of the two events that night was canceled by rain. That gave the fans an added bonus of the 28-lap make-up race from that night. Current PPMS point leader Mike Johnson cruised to victory in this event, earning the $2,000 top prize.

A field of 45 cars turned out under brilliant sunny skies for the Red Miley Rumble. The field was divided into five qualifying heats of ten laps each. Josh Richards was the winner of Heat 1, from sixth starting position. Bart Hartman took the win in Heat 2, after starting eighth. Jared Miley won Heat 3, from fifth spot. Heat 4 went to Brandon Burgooon from third on the grid. Keith Barbara came from sixth to win the fifth heat. After Steve Baker and Ben Miley won the two B-Mains, 32 cars were set for the feature grid.

The top ten drivers redrew for their starting spots for the Red Miley Rumble. Jason Covert and Davey Johnson led the thunderous roar of 32 cars at the drop of the green flag, with Johnson leading the opening lap over Boom Briggs, sixth starting Josh Richards, Covert, and Jared Miley. Richards advanced from third to second on lap 2, as he was quickly on the move. Covert settled into third, ahead of Miley and seventh starting Bart Hartman by lap 5. The leaders were setting a scorching pace, as they reached race traffic by lap 6 as the battle for the lead between Johnson and Richards was on. With a turn three pass in race traffic, Richards made the pass to become the new leader on lap 10.

Green flag racing continued as the field raced from top to bottom on the ultra-wide PPMS oval. Richards had a good lead built up when the first yellow flag of the event waved with 15 laps complete. Fifth running Hartman exited the event with a broken driveshaft at this point. One more lap was run before the caution appeared again. Richards continued to lead until lap 20, when the race was slowed again when second in UFo points John Mollick lost power in turn two. The fourth caution period of the race came when a turn one incident on this attempted restart involved six cars.

Racing resumed with Richards choosing the outside lane for the double file restart, and he again nosed ahead to lead the race over Johnson, Covert, Miley, and Briggs. Briggs passed Miley for fourth on lap 23. The final caution of the event was on lap 29, when Miley slowed in turn two. Richards continued to show the way, as 19th starting Dave Hess, Jr. used the inside lane to pass Mike Johnson for fifth. Hess gained another spot the next time by, passing Briggs for fourth.

Josh Richards would race away unchallenged to the checkered flag, taking the win over Davey Johnson and Jason Covert. Dave Hess, Jr. was the Pass-Maximum award winner, presented by Bernheisel Race Components and Lazer Chassis, in his run from 19th to finish fourth. Boom Briggs was fifth, as Mike Johnson, Tommy Beck, Keith Barbara, Lynn Geisler, and Gregg Satterlee rounded out the top ten.

In the PENNational make-up race, all 29 cars that were on hand for the original event were given starting spots in the main if they returned for the event. 26 of the 29 returned, but two drivers were unable to start, leaving 24 cars to battle in the main. John Flinner won the first of the two scheduled PENNational events, and drew a 12 for the invert for this race. That put Dennis Lunger and Brandon Wearing on the front row for the 28-lap event. Lunger led the first lap over Boom Briggs, Keith Barbara, Steve Baker, and Wearing.

The marathon that was lap 2 was scored with Briggs leading Barbara, Lunger, Baker, and Mike Johnson. When the yellow waved for a spin by UFo point leader Chad McClellan, it set off a chain of dominoes that saw all four caution periods of the event take place on this lap. The worst incident of the race was the third caution period, triggered when leader Briggs lost power on the restart, causing a big tangle on the homestretch damaging several cars.

Once lap 2 was finally in the books, the race thankfully ran through without further incident to the checkered flag. Barbara and Mike Johnson crossed the line side-by-side at lap 3, with the computerized scoring showing Johnson leading by .002 seconds. Lunger, Baker, and Wearing kept up the chase. Johnson nosed ahead into the lead, Baker took third from Lunger on lap 4, with Lynn Geisler moving to fifth. Geisler took fourth from Lunger on lap 6, as Johnson pulled away in the lead. Geisler passed Baker for third on lap 8, and closed on Barbara for second. Johnson had a big lead, and he was fortunate that he did, as he found his path blocked by race traffic.

What was now a battle for second between Barbara and Geisler had them quickly closing on the leader, before Johnson finally threaded his way through the traffic. Though Geisler nosed ahead of Barbara near halfway, Barbara eventually regained the spot and held the runner-up spot comfortably. Baker caught and passed Geisler to regain third with 21 laps complete. Also on lap 21, Brandon Burgoon, from 22nd starting spot, passed Lunger to take fifth.

Mike Johnson had no problems over the remaining distance, as he went on to score his first UFo Series victory after starting ninth. Sixth starting Keith Barbara came home second, as the third place driver in UFo points gained a lot of ground on the point leaders. Steve Baker was third from tenth, and Geisler was fourth after starting 12th. Brandon Burgoon earned the Pass-Maximum award, presented by Bernheisel Race Components and Lazer Chassis, with his run from 22nd to fifth. Filling the top ten were Dennis Lunger, Brandon Wearing, John Flinner, Jim Stephans, and Tommy Beck.

Chad McClellan continues to lead the point standings for the UFo Race Championship, but his lead is dwindling. McClellan's lead is 14 points over John Mollick. Keith Barbara has made up ground, and he now sits in third just one point behind Mollick, or 15 points out of the lead.

Josh Richards wins the 4th Annual Red Miley Rumble
By: Miley Motorsports

Josh Richards wins the 4th Annual Red Miley Rumble, while Mike Johnson, Kyle Lukon, Dave Hess Jr., Nick Kocuba, Brian Huchko and Daniel White also picked up win at Pittsburgh's PA Motor Speedway on August 28 2010.

PITTSBURGH, PA - August 28, 2010 - Shinnston WV's Josh Richards made his first start of 2010 a winning one by picking up the 4th Annual Red Miley Rumble UFO/ULMS 44 Lap Feature for the Hoosier Tire Mid-Atlantic DIRTcar Super Late Models. Jason Covert and Dave Johnson brought the field down for the start. Johnson grabbed the lead at the start and led the first 9 laps before Richards took over. Richards, who started 6th, made quick work of the first four drivers moving into second on the first lap, and followed Johnson patiently before making his move. From this point on, Richards dominated the event and was never seriously challenged. Meanwhile, fans were watching the action behind Richards to see if a challenger would emerge. The first yellow of the event was on lap 15 for debris on the front straight. At this point defending race champ Bart Hartman pulled into the pits with a broken driveshaft, out of the event. On the restart, Dennis Lunger spun in turn three. The race went 4 more laps before John Mollick slowed and brought out the caution on lap 20 and went pit side. At this point quite a few eyes were on 2008 RMR winner Steve Baker, who started 21st and was up to 7th using his regular against the wall groove. The restart saw 8th running John Flinner get into Baker's rear going into the first turn spinning him out, and stacking up Baker, Jared Hawkins, Jason Rider, Tom Beck, Chad McClellan, and Danny Mitchell. All returned to the event except Mitchell who was helped off the track by two wreckers. On the restart it was Richards leading Dave Johnson, Jason Covert, Jared Miley and Mike Johnson. The last yellow came out on lap 29 for Jared Miley who slowed with a flat. The rest of the event ran without incident, and at the finish it was Richards, Dave Johnson, Covert, Dave Hess Jr. (who was the hard charger coming from 19th), Boom Briggs, Mike Johnson, Tom Beck, Keith Barbara, Lynn Geisler and Greg Satterlee. Five heats were run for the 45 car field, with Josh Richards, Bart Hartman, Jared Miley, Brandon Burgoon, and Keith Barbara taking wins. Two B-Mains were run with Steve Baker and Ben Miley winning those.

The rained out 28 lap UFO/ULMS Penn National Late Model feature from July 24th was also run, with current PPMS point leader Mike Johnson Imperial PA grabbing his second win of the season and first ever UFO/ULMS event. Dennis Lunger and Brandon Wearing brought the field down for the start, with Lunger taking the lead at the start. Keith Barbara and Boom Briggs moved into the front spots and battled for first, while 10th starting Mike Johnson and 11th starting Steve Baker moved into the top 5. A yellow came out on the 2nd lap for Chad McClellan. On the restart Jason Rider spun and brought out the yellow again. The next restart saw Briggs have engine problems and not go, stacking several cars behind him, including Jared Miley, Jason Rider, Jim Lepro, Ben Miley and Chad McClellan with Rider flipping over. Rider was OK while the red flag was displayed to clean up the mess. Ben Miley and McClellan were able to return. The race was restarted, but before the next lap was completed Bump Hedman spun and brought out the yellow again. Finally after the race resumed, and Mike Johnson shot past the leader and took the lead. Johnson pulled away as he was in a different time zone, while the battle for second heated up between Keith Barbara, Steve Baker and Lynn Geisler. At the finish Johnson was way out front, and was followed by Barbara, Baker, Geisler, Brandon Burgoon (who charged from 23rd), Lunger, Brandon Wearing, John Flinner, Jim Stephans, and Tom Beck. For Johnson it was the biggest win of his career. 26 of the original 29 starters returned, with 24 starting the feature with Dave Wade and Daryl Charlier not making the call.

In the Brougher's Machine Shop Fastrak Crate Late Models, Burgettstown PA's Kyle Lukon was the surprise winner of the 20 lap main. Lukon, who started 4th led the first lap, then trailed Mike Pegher Jr. for the next 17 laps. While Lukon was just a couple car lengths behind the entire race, it looked as if Pegher was going to pick up his 4th win of the season, but with just two laps to go, Pegher pitted putting Lukon in the lead. For Pegher, it was the third time this season that he looked like he was well on his way to win, only to break in the waning laps. At the finish it was Lukon, Jeff Broniszewski, Dennis Neiderriter, Mike Reft, Colton Flinner, Shawn Jett, Tommy Schirnhofer Jr., Laura Lukon, Bryan Hoffman, and Dusty Curry. Mark Moats Jr. and Mike Pegher Jr. took the heats.

The Miley RV Sales UMP Modifieds saw invader Waterford PA's Dave Hess Jr. grab his first win of the season here. Hess, who started 12th, took the lead off Tom Martineck on lap 5 and led the remaining laps to grab the win. Vince Laboon ran a strong race to finish second followed by Evan Taylor, Jonathan Taylor, Shawn Domhoff, J.E. Stalder, Martineck, Chris Basich, Bruce Takach and Willy Briggs. Dave Hess Jr. and Evan Taylor won the heats.

Imperial PA's Nick Kocuba continued his strong late season run and picked up his second feature of the season in the Sunoco Race Fuels DIRTcar Cadets. Kocuba started 3rd and took over the lead on lap 2 from Joe Koteles, lost it briefly to Pat Weldon, and regained it to lead the remaining laps. Craig Koteles was second followed by Danny Rich, who was making his first start of the season, Jake Simmons, Jesse Gould, Dave McManus, Gary Koteles, Joe Koteles, Tyler Fox, and Steve Webb. The heats fell to Pat Weldon and Jake Simmons.

The Miley BP Car Wash DIRTcar Hobby Stocks saw Carnegie PA's Brian Huchko pick up his 9th win of the season and third in a row, holding off a strong challenge from Adam Chytil. Ricky Steigerwald was third followed by Ian Tomei, Ed Wiser, Joe Podolinsky, Alec Broniszewski, Garrett Keffer and Chase Evans. Brian Huchko won the lone heat.

Races rained out at Tri-City; point champions to be decided next Sunday
By: Brian Spaid

FRANKLIN, PA ... Tri-City Speedway's Sunday night show was rained out for
the fifth time in the 2010 season on August 15th, which sets up a stellar event
next weekend when the season champions will be declared in four action-packed
divisions.
Jeremiah Shingledecker of Polk, Pa, leads the Engles Trucking Services
DIRTcar Big Block Modified division searching for his second consecutive title
at Tri-City. On the strength of four feature wins, Shingledecker leads Rex King
by 71 points heading into the final point show of the season. Dave Murdick,
another four-time feature winner, sits third in the point standings 80 points
out of first place. With a maximum of 125 points awarded each night, including
40 show points, the most points any driver can score on the track is 85 points.
Essentially, if Shingledecker runs well in the heat and feature races, he will
clinch the title with ease.
With the rainout, Max Blair of Centerville, Pa., clinched a share of his
third consecutive 4 Your Car Connection FASTRAK Late Model track championship.
The FASTRAK Late Models have competed regularly at Tri-City since 2008, and
Blair will likely retain the honor as the only divisional champion in track
history. With three feature wins under his belt, Blair has an insurmountable
125-point lead over Bobby Whitling. All Blair needs to do is compete next Sunday
and he will claim the title regardless where he finishes. However, if Blair
fails to race and Whitling sweeps the night with heat and feature race wins, the
two drivers would tie for the championship honors.
In the Welding Technologies/Shaw Industries E Mods, Carl McKinney of Mars,
Pa., leads the point chase looking for his third divisional title at Tri-City.
McKinney won the championship in 2007 and 2008. Currently, McKinney leads with a
52-point lead over 2009 track champion Shawn Shingledecker. Mike Potosky and Tim
Engles are within mathematical distance of McKinney to also be title contenders,
but both drivers will be knocked out of contention as long as McKinney races
next week. That will leave the title bout in the hands of McKinney and
Shingledecker.
Russ Coyne of Cooperstown, Pa., earned his first career feature win this
season in the E.F. Rogers Plumbing & Heating Pro Stocks, and is nearing his
first-ever track championship as well. Leading the 2009 Pro Stock champion Jason
Johns by only 46 points, Coyne must run flawlessly in next week's heat and
feature race action to claim the title. Like Potosky and Engles in the E Mods,
Charlie McMillen has a long mathematical shot at the Pro Stock championship.
Next Sunday August 22nd, Tri-City Speedway will host its final regular season
show of the 2010 racing season with point champions decided in the Engles
Trucking Services DIRTcar Big Block Modifieds, 4 Your Car Connection FASTRAK
Late Models, Welding Technologies/Shaw Industries E Mods, and E.F. Rogers
Plumbing & Heating Pro Stocks. In addition, the Thundercars and Horn's Collision
Repair Center will be action. It will be Pittsburgh Circle Track Club and Twin
State Auto Racing Fan Club Night at the track too. Gates will open at 4 p.m. and
racing starts at 6 p.m. Adult grandstand admission will be $10 for this show.

Hummingbird beats Mother Nature

HOFFNER, KOT, NIXON, HESS, AND FEDDER PICK UP VICTORIES AS HUMMINGBIRD SPEEDWAY BEATS MOTHER NATURE.

The forecast and weather radar looked ominous Saturday night as it appeared sometime throughout the course of the evening storms would overtake the track. But the rain held off and the entire show was completed with five repeat winners visiting Victory Lane to receive trophies from the Hollopeter Family in memory of Fred Holllopeter. Feature winners were Luke Hoffner of Turbotville in the Limited Late Models, Joe Kot of DuBois in the Street Stocks, Adam Nixon of Grampian in the Four Cylinders, Ryan Hess of Frenchville in the Pure Stocks, and Shawn Fedder of Clearfield in the Front-Wheel Drive 4-Cylinders.

The evening’s first feature was the Four Cylinder class, with Devin Lewis and Mike Anderson on the front row. Anderson led the first lap and began to stretch out his lead until a caution on lap five for a spin by Don Henry. Anderson was setting a fast pace and at the halfway point he continued to lead, followed by Alan Barnett, Lewis, Adam Nixon, and Paul Metz Jr. The night ended for Metz as his motor expired with several laps to go. This put Nixon on Anderson’s back bumper, and he got alongside after the restart. The two ran side-by-side and Nixon was able to get by with one lap to go and pick up his fifth win of the season. Anderson was second, Barnett third, Lewis fourth, and Henry fifth. Nixon and Henry won the heats.

In a slight change to the running order, the Limited Late Models took to the track for the second feature of the evening. Jake Shady started on the pole with Luke Hoffner alongside him. Hoffner powered to the early lead using the outside line. A caution for debris on lap two slowed the pace. But Hoffner continued to lead on the restart, with Bob McMillen challenging Shady for second. Another caution for a spin by John Reed on lap five kept the field close, but Hoffner still led, with McMillen on his tail while Shady and Chris Farrell battled for third. As the crossed flags were displayed indicating halfway, it was Hoffner, Shady, Farrell, Cody Schultz, and John Chesnalavich. Shady kept things close, but Schultz’s night came to an end as something broke on the car and he hit the frontstretch wall on lap seventeen. Another caution for debris on the restart was a good break for the leaders as contact was made between the top three and they spun, blocking the entire track and almost the entire field came to a stop. Shady was unable to continue. Eric Moore moved into second and pressured Hoffner for the lead. The two ran side-by-side for a number of laps, but it appeared Moore’s tires may have gone away in the last few laps as Hoffner again gained an advantage and went on to his fourth win of the year. Moore took second, with Farrell, Dwayne Brooks, and John Chesnalavich rounding out the top five. Heats were won by Hoffner and Schultz.

Next up was the always competitive Street Stock class. And this feature would prove no different, as close side-by-side racing is the norm. Craig Bainey and Bob Ralston Jr. brought the field to the line, and Bainey led early with Gary Little moving into second place. Following a caution for a spin by Jim Bloom on lap two, Little and Bainey both slid high and Brian Rhed was able to move into the lead. Several other cautions for minor incidents slowed the pace, but Rhed still led, as Little and Jamie Price put pressure on. As half of the laps were complete, it was still Rhed showing the way. Joe Kot had worked his way into second, with Little, Bainey, and Bruce Hartzfeld giving chase. Rhed and Kot gave the fans a show as the two battled side-by-side for the lead and swapped the position several times. With two laps to go, Rhed began to fade and Kot hung on for his second straight win, and fifth of the season. Following him across the line were Little, Hartzfeld, Rhed, and Price. Heat winners were Rhed, Ralston, and Bainey.

Matt Heindl and Justin Kanouff made up the front row for the Pure Stock feature. Heindl led lap one, but Dave Kohler spun and collected Steve Scaife and Terry Borden. Following a brief delay to untangle the cars, Ryan Hess worked his way into the lead following the restart. He pulled away from the rest of the field as five cars battled for position behind him. On lap six, it appeared as an oil line broke on the car of Shawn Munoz; he spun and a fire erupted in the engine compartment. It was extinguished and racing resumed, with Hess still up front, followed by Heindl, Steve Arthurs, Dustin Challingsworth, and Kyle Shannon. Hess stretched out his lead again, and took win number two of the year. Challingsworth was second, then Heindl, Roswell Babcock, and Arthurs. Heat wins went to Shannon and Hess.

The Front-Wheel Drive 4-Cylinders then took to the track to close out the evening’s program. Eric Luzier and Bryan Warren were on the front row, and Luzier took the lead for lap one. But Jacob Kline worked his way by to lead lap two, and a caution came out on lap three slowing the field. Shawn Fedder moved from his fifth starting spot to the number one position on lap five, and at the halfway point it was Fedder, Aaron Luzier, Kenny White, Kline, and Warren. Intense racing continued behind Fedder as he pulled away late and won his third feature of the season. Second through fifth were Aaron Luzier, Kline, White, and Warren. White and Ben Smith took heat wins.

78 cars were in the pits, with 18 Limited Late Models, 21 Street Stocks, 9 Four Cylinders, 15 Pure Stocks, and 15 Front-Wheel Drive 4-Cylinders. Racing action continues next Saturday with trophies being presented In Memory of Eric McGarvey. The following week will be Season Championship night with points ending in all classes and double-points on the line. Many point races are very tight and teams are vying for top spots. Plans continue to be made for several specials at the track, including the Mick Orsich Memorial Late Model Open on September 18th, and the Chili 100 on October 9th. The Orsich Memorial will also include fund-raising for the Hahne Cancer Center in DuBois. Orsich was the former track manager / flagman who passed away following the 2004 season after a bout with cancer. For more information, check the track’s website at www.hummingbirdspeedway.com.

Felmlee and Blair win before rain at Mercer
By: Mike Leone

FELMLEE WINS SPRINT MAKE-UP & BLAIR TAKES FASTRAK LATE MODEL MAKE-UP BEFORE RAIN
WASHES OUT BILL EMIG MEMORIAL AT MERCER

Mercer, PA.Everyone had an eye on the radar as a big plume of heavy rain slowly
tracked across Ohio during the day on Saturday and into western Pennsylvania by
evening. Mercer Raceway Park was able to complete the July 24 make-up features
for the Luxaire Heating & Cooling Sprint Cars and the 4 Your Car Connection
FASTRAK Late Models before the rain finally hit during the first BRP Modified
Tour heat race washing out the Bill Emig Memorial.

Rain checks will be honored for the remainder of the season with the exception
of the August 28 Auto Racers for Kids Charities Night. The September 11 event
that previously had the Big-Block Modifieds on the card will now be a BRP
Tour-sanctioned event and the Stock Cars have been added to this show that also
includes the DIRTcar Sprint Challenge Series, FASTRAK Late Models and Mini
Stocks as the last night of points.

In the 20-lap Luxaire Heating & Cooling make-up feature, Bob Felmlee tracked
down Dan Kuriger and passed the race-long leader with two laps to go in lapped
traffic to capture the non-stop victory. Felmlee's second win of the season was
worth $1,500 plus a Goodyear Tire certificate and extended his point lead with
just two races remaining. The Franklin, Pa. driver is looking for his fourth
track championship in as many decades as he did the feat in 1989, 1998, and
2006.

Dan Kuriger raced out to the early lead from the pole position in search of his
first win of the season with Brian Steinman in tow. Danny Holtgraver started
fifth, but was able to pass both Felmlee and Arnie Kent on the opening lap. On
lap three though, Felmlee made his move getting around both Steinman and
Holtgraver for second. Holtgraver followed past Steinman on lap five retaking
the third position.

Felmlee began to cut into Kuriger's lead on lap eight and caught the race leader
in lapped traffic on lap 11. Kuriger though was able to maintain his advantage
over the next five laps until Felmlee caught right back up to Kuriger on lap 17.
Felmlee tried making his move on lap 18 as the two ran side-by-side, but Kuriger
was able to lead the lap. The two were side-by-side as they came down the
frontstretch to receive the two to go signal from starter Todd Beichner.

In almost a repeat of last week when Holtgraver stole a win away from Brian
Ellenberger on the final lap with the lapped car of Davey Jones in the mix; this
week it happened with two to go as Kuriger fought the lapped car of Chris Best
as Felmlee blasted around the topside of the speedway in turns one and two and
made the pass stick racing down the backstretch.

Felmlee went on for his milestone 25th career win at Mercer in his World of
Wheels/Lutz Auto Body-sponsored #6. The event was timed in 4 minutes and 55
seconds. Kuriger held off Holtgraver for runner-up, but Holtgraver did receive
the hard charger Goodyear Tire certificate. Kent was fourth over Bowser.
Completing the top 10 were Eric Williams, Steinman (last car on lead lap
Goodyear Tire certificate), Best (random Goodyear Tire certificate winner), Jeff
Taylor, and John McCracken, Sr.

Fresh off Friday night's FASTRAK Northeast Late Model Touring Series win at
Raceway 7, Max Blair picked up the 4 Your Car Connection July 24 make-up feature
win and extended his National Weekly Series point lead over nemesis Mike Pegher,
Jr. The 2008 National Weekly and Northeast Touring Series Champion is looking
to add another $10,000 and $5,000 championship to his resume.

Despite starting second, the win wasn't an easy one for the 20-year-old
Centerville, Pa. third-generation driver. Butch Lambert led the opening lap
before Blair charged under Lambert in turns and two on lap two. The two ran
side-by-side down the backstretch and made some contact in turn three with Blair
getting by.

Lambert though didn't give up as he stayed right with the defending track
champion. Lambert drove to the inside of Blair on laps four and five, but just
couldn't make the pass stick. Blair opened up a slight advantage and without
any cautions was able to maintain that to the checkered flag for his fifth win
of the season and all-time division leading 12th of his career in his Specialty
Products/4 Your Car Connection/Moody & Son Welding/Bossard's Sales &
Service-sponsored #111.

Lambert was second for his best finish of 2010 at Mercer. Kyle Zimmerman
wrapped up his first track championship by finishing third after starting sixth.
Despite not winning an event yet, Zimmerman now has five runner-ups, a third,
two fifths, and a sixth. His season's worst finish was an 11th during the
$6,000 to-win National Event. Shane Bambarger was a season best fourth in his
just fourth start of the season. After failing to crack the top five in his
first five starts this season, second-year racer Garrett Mott continues to
improve as he recorded his second straight top five finish. Mott also turned in
a career best runner-up finish Friday night at South Arcade Speedway in New
York. Last week's winner Josh Double was sixth ahead of Justin Kreider, Mike
Anderson, Jr., and Tyler Dietz.

Blair wins FASTRAK Regional event at Raceway 7
By: Jay Pees

Blair wins FASTRAK Regional event at Raceway 7! Hall, Ferringer, and Boyd also pick up wins.

Conneaut, OH (August 13, 2010): The FASTRAK Northeast Regional series moved into Raceway 7 Friday night for an event paying $1200 for the win. Four heats were necessary along with a “B” Main to set the starting field for the 25-lap “A” Main. Max Blair continued his domination of the division, coming from the third row to the lead by the seventh lap. The other three regular classes were also in action with Randy Hall and Dave Ferringer picking up their first wins of the season. Jonny Boyd continued his domination of the Evergreen Lake Park Campground Mini Stocks, winning his seventh feature of the season.

The youngster Bud Watson led the veteran Mark Banal at the end of the first lap for the Swartz Construction FASTRAK Late Models regional event. A spin in turn two of lap two brought the field under caution and the leaders side by side for the restart. Banal grabbed the lead in the back straight with Max Blair making it three wide for the lead as the field headed into turn three. Blair wisely backed out and waited for a better chance to lead. Using the low line, Blair got alongside Banal at the end of lap 6 and was the leader one lap later. Another caution at lap ten erased Blair’s lead. Blair again took off with the lead as Dave Airgood Jr managed to get by Banal for second. Mike Pegher Jr began challenging for third as caution again was shown for a spin in turn one. Pegher finally got by Banal at lap 14. Debris in turn one brought out the final caution of the race at lap 19. For the six lap dash to the checkers and the glory, Blair was uncontested for the win with Airgood second. By virtue of having the preferred outside line for the double-file restart, Banal was able to get back to third. John Volpe made a valiant effort to get by Pegher on the final lap but came up short.

Brian Douglas took off to the immediate lead in the Zimmer’s Service Center E-Mod feature with Randy Hall coming to the lead at lap two. Hall opened a lead over second running Percy McDonald and third place Russ Dunn, the current points leader. Dunn began closing the gap on Hall as a lap nine erased it completely. For the restart Hall was in front with Dunn and McDonald right behind side by side. As the cars raced into turn one McDonald and Dunn spun and eventually collected Rich Michael Jr, Bill Taylor, and Gerry Kielar. Dunn retired to the pits for repairs but made it back for the restart. Percy McDonald had to be towed to the infield, done for the night. Just before the restart Joel Watson pulled off the track to the pits with undisclosed mechanical problems. Hall again was the leader with Rich Gardner pursuing this time and Dan McDonald third. Chuck Steinle Jr was alongside McDonald with five laps to go. McDonald held on for third over Steinle with Dunn working his way back to fifth by the finish.

The Campbell’s Mini Storage Street Stock field was brought to the green flag by Dave Tolon and former class champion Dave Ferringer. Tolon led the 16 car field into turn one but Ferringer took the lead down the back straight. Tolon then looped his mount in turn two of lap two, bringing caution over the field. At the green Ken Zimmer came to second from his third row starting spot and challenged for the lead. After another yellow flag period Zimmer was able to get alongside Ferringer but couldn’t complete the pass. Jackson Humanic clipped one of the infield tires at lap nine, spinning and bringing out another caution, again tightening the field. Ferringer was able to maintain his lead and picked up his first win of the season over Zimmer, Ed Bolyard, Zach Downes, and Tommy Fox.

By virtual of the draw points leader Jonny Boyd started the Evergreen Lake Park Campground Mini Stocks feature on the pole with second place points car of Bud Sergeff on the outside of the front row. Boyd’s Dodge Daytona was the class of the field, pulling away from Sergeff at the start. Jon Boyd Sr, slid high in turn two at lap two after contact with Carlos Aponte, stalling out and bringing caution over the field and allowing Sergeff to close the gap on the leader for the restart The little Dodge again took off to the lead with Sergeff maintaining second over Bill Rabbits. Joe Plesniak, throwing sparks most of the event, got by Rabbits near the end. Brad Cole wound up fifth.

Parks, Black, Sayler, Walter, and Treece win Bedford
By: Dave Harclerode

BEDFORD, PA – It was the Bedford/Cumberland shootout Friday night at the Bedford Speedway, and Matt Parks made Friday the 13th lucky by winning the Super Late Model main event. Robbie Black won his 2nd feature event in the Limited Late Models, and Jim Sayler took home the checkers in the Street Stocks. Charlie Walter returned to victory lane in the Hobby Stocks after a rough mid-season stretch and Jeff Treece won his first ever feature at Bedford in the 4 Cylinders.

In Super Late Model action, Matt Parks started on the outside pole and assumed the lead on the first lap. It wasn’t long until the top five broke free from the pack, with Nick Dickson hounding Parks for the lead, Jack Pencil third, Jeff Rine fourth, and Scott Haus fifth. With Parks on the top side, and Dickson on the bottom, the pair ran side by side lap after lap. With five laps to go, the top five caught the tail of the field. This allowed Pencil to join the top two for a battle for the top spot, but Parks prevailed at the checkered. Dickson followed closely in second and Pencil third. Rine and Haus completed the top five, and Derek Byler, Greg Fetters, Jeff Miller, Andy Fries, and Shawn Claar finished out the top ten. Rine and Parks won the heats. The feature event went 25 laps without caution.

Friday the 13th reared its ugly head in the Limited Late Model feature. Darrell Dick took the lead at the drop of the green and looked to have the race in hand. Dick dominated for most of the race, but 8th starting Matt Sponaugle was on the move. The pair ran side by side for several laps, and then disaster struck with two laps to go. With Dick on the outside, and Sponaugle on the inside, the pair made significant contact in turn 4. The result was Darrell’s mount facing the wrong direction, and Sponaugle sent to the rear. Robbie Black assumed the lead on the restart, and held on for the win over Mike Altobelli, Jr., Tim Smith, Jr., Donnie Farlling, and Matt Howsare. Sixth through tenth went to Brian Lowery, Andy Teno, Rance Garlock, Rick Singleton, and Matt Cosner. Heats went to Daniel Cornman, Matt Sponaugle, and Darrel Dick.

Jim Sayler earned his third feature win of the year in the Street Stocks. It was a typical grade a style Street Stock Feature, with action all through the pack. Bill Henney took the lead from his pole starting position, and led until Sayler stole the lead with five to go. Henney ended the night in second, Brian Duffy third, Jamey Swank fourth, and Daryl Whetstone fifth. Jesse Snyder, Chris Chamberlain, Kerry Molovich, Zane Weicht, and Cody Buterbaugh completed the top ten. Sayler and Henney won the heat events.

Jeff Treece earned his first ever win in the 4 cylinders over Andrew Pluta, Jeremy Miller, James Best, and Cindy Rhodes. Miller and Mike Lauffer won the preliminary heats.

The URC Sprint Cars will be in town next Friday for their annual visit to the track, continuing a long standing tradition. The Super Late Models will also be on hand, racing for $2,000 to win. Also appearing will be the Street Stocks, Hobby Stocks and 4 Cylinders. Gates open at 4:30. Racing action will start 30 minutes early, with hot laps at 6:15.

Modified Tour Announces New Date
By: Lou Long

Officials of the BRP/Hoosier Tire Modified Tour and Pittsburgh's Pennsylvania Motor Speedway are pleased to announce the addition of the Big Block Modifieds to the 2010 Tri Star Pittsburgher. The ground-pounding Modifieds will be in action on Dirt's Monster Half Mile on Friday, September 17.

"Miley Motorsports is extremely excited to add the Modified Tour to the Pittsburgher line-up," said Matt Miley. "The fans and the race teams have supported Pittsburgh's Pennsylvania Motor Speedway tremendously since we brought the Modifieds back in 2009." "We want the Modifieds to be an integral part of a new tradition at PPMS and we want this event to grow in stature," he added.

May of 2009 marked the first appearance of the Big Block Modifieds at PPMS in nearly nineteen years. Kevin Bolland, of nearby New Brighton, PA, won the Modisaurus X in 2009, besting a field of more than 30 cars. Brian Swartzlander came back after a horrific crash in that event to capture the return engagement held over Labor Day weekend. Jeremiah Shingledecker, who has emerged as one of the region's Modified stars, won the 2010 Modisaurus X-2. They will all be expected to enter the September 17 race, along with dozens of other top drivers.

"Pittsburgh is a great fit for the Modified Tour," said its President, Lou Long. "Nobody has a home track advantage, and everybody wants the bragging rights that come with a big win on the neutral site, so it makes for some great competition." Agreeing, Miley commented, "I just could not believe the intense action all the way around this big place. Those Modifieds made my hair stand on end."

Adding the prestigious Tri Star Pittsburgher to the BRP/Hoosier Tire Modified Tour schedule will give the touring drivers a second opportunity to showcase their skills before some of the region's most devoted Late Model fans. Over the Labor Day weekend, the Modified Tour will be part of the 42nd Hillbilly 100 Weekend at West Virginia Motor Speedway. "Both tracks have plenty of room to maneuver and the racers can really unleash all of their horsepower," Long added. "Maybe we can win over some converts."

Miley was quick to point out that PPMS fans will get a second dose of open wheel adrenaline during the Tri Star Pittsburgher weekend. "That's right, the Sprint cars will be back to challenge the Monster," he said. The winged warriors will be in action on Saturday, September 18.

Of course, the UFo/ULMS Late Models will also be in action over the historic weekend.

"We are confident that the BRP/Hoosier Tire Modifieds will give us an exciting kick-off to the new format," Miley said. Indeed, the 2010 Tri Star Pittsburgher promises to have the best assembly of Modified, Sprint Car and Late Model talent in the tri-state area.

The Modified Tour, Inc. would like to thank the 2010 series sponsors: Bicknell Racing Products; Hoosier Racing Tire Corp.; Sunoco Racing Fuel - Bazell Oil Co., Inc.; World Racing Group - DIRTcar; Approved Toilet Rentals, Inc.; Behrent’s Speed Center, Inc.; Bert Transmission; Big Daddy's Speed Center Inc.; Engles Trucking Services, Inc.; Bilstein Shocks – Fastline Performance; Fast Axle, LLC; Frankland Racing Supply; ISC Racers Tape; Hall's Safety Equipment Corp.; Intercontinental Hotels Group (IHG); Keizer Aluminum Wheels, Inc.; King Brothers; Kirkey Racing Fabrication Inc.; Landrum Spring; McCool's Signs and Graphics; Motorsports World; Oyler Photos & More; Pennsylvania Army National Guard; Pietragallo Gordon Alfano Bosick & Raspanti, LLP; Preist Enterprises, Inc.; Pro Shocks; RaceQuip; Ray's Racing Collectibles; Red Bear Hand Cleaner; Rock Concrete; Schaeffer’s Specialized Lubricants; Slippery Rock Sportswear; Smokey's; SpeedBear Fasteners; Turbo Start Batteries; Ultra-Shield Race Products; Valken Wheels; Wedge Motorsports, LLC; Winters Performance Products Inc.; and Wrisco Industries Inc.

The Modified Tour, Inc. racing series is a non-profit organization established in 1998 to give the V-8 Modifieds in the Western Pennsylvania area the opportunity to compete for higher purses and for a seasonal point fund. It has had great success at bringing the local cars together at tracks throughout the tri-state area and in expanding the profile for this exciting brand of motorsports.

Jared Miley grabs his third feature of the season at PPMS on July 31, 2010
By: Miley Motorsports

Jared Miley, Bryant Hank, Nick Kocuba, Daryl Charlier, Ed Wiser, Brian Huchko and Daniel White won features at Pittsburgh's PA Motor Speedway on July 31 2010.

PITTSBURGH, PA - July 31, 2010 - South Park PA's Jared Miley grabbed his third feature of the season in the Hoosier Tire Mid-Atlantic DIRTcar Super Late Models. In a wild event, Jim Stephans and Daryl Charlier brought the field down for the start, and Charlier led the first lap. Stephans took over on lap 2 as the front pair battled side by side. On lap 4 Charlier took over and John Flinner moved into second from his 8th starting spot. Charlier led, while Flinner made numerous charges at him for the top spot. By lap 9 it was still Charlier, Flinner and now Jared Miley who came from 7th. Now it was a three way battle for the lead. Charlier continued to lead, and still was being heavily challenged by Flinner and Miley. Charlier looked as if he was going to start to pull away at one point, but brushed the wall, and did some damage to his rear spoiler and began to slow. On lap 15 the front running trio went three wide on the front straight, and Miley got by Flinner for second. On the next lap Charlier still was leading, but Miley was all over him, and then in turns three and four he slid past for the lead. Flinner also got by and Charlier began to fade. Flinner's handling began to go, as Miley started to pull away, then Flinner tagged the wall a couple times in one and two and knocked his rear spoiler loose and slowed allowing Stephans and Steve Baker to move into second and third. There was a yellow with two to go which allowed the field one last shot at Miley for the lead. But Miley was up to the task as he pulled away to the win. Stephans had a solid run for second, while Baker came from 10th to third, with Mike Johnson a close fourth followed by Keith Barbara, Charlier, Brandon Wearing, John Garvin, Jim Lepro, and Charles Medved. The heats saw Brandon Burgoon and Jason Rider pick up wins. Ben Miley tagged the wall in his heat and did not start the main. John Mollick was again in Jim Lepro's back up car. Mike Johnson had motor problems with his primary car, and unloaded his backup and ran it in the heat and feature.

The Brougher's Machine Shop Fastrak Pro Late Models saw Sarver PA's Bryant Hank picked up his first win of the season. Point leader Mark Moats Jr. from his front row starting spot grabbed the lead and led the first 10 laps, while positions 2-5 changed almost every lap, Bryan Hoffman was second the first lap, with Ken Chernik moving into second on lap 2. Chernik was having a solid run until he got a flat on lap 7, Dennis Niederriter moved into second. On lap 11 third running Hank got by Niederriter and Moats for first and led the rest of the way for the win. At the flag it was Hank, Moats, Niederriter, Mike Reft, Laura Lukon, Dan Karalagas, Mike Opalinski, Justin Lamb, Scott Schempp and Bryan Hoffman. The two heats saw Mike Reft and Dan Karalagas pick up the wins.

Midway PA's Daryl Charlier continues to dominate the win column in the Miley RV Service UMP Modifieds, grabbing win number 5 of the season. Shawn Domhoff making his first start of the season led the first two laps, before J.E. Stalder grabbed the lead. Stalder looked solid, but 4th starting Charlier had other ideas moving around Stalder on the outside on lap 10 and led the remaining laps. Stalder ended up second followed by Wayne Tessean, Willy Briggs, Domhoff, Tom Martineck, Chris Basich, Clayton Kennedy, Vince Laboon, and Kevin Miller. The heats had J.E. Stalder and Chris Basich picking up the wins.

The Sunoco Race Fuels DIRTcar Cadets had Imperial PA's Nick Kocuba win his first feature of the season. Kocuba took over the lead on lap 6 from early leader Dave McManus from his 8th starting spot and led the rest of the way. Jake Simmons was second with McManus third followed by Gary Koteles, Joe Koteles, Craig Koteles, Bob Schwartzmiller, Steve Webb, Al Atallah, and Jennifer Barker. Jake Simmons and Pat Weldon took the heat races.

Two features were run in the Miley BP Car Wash DIRTcar Hobby Stocks. The first was the make-up from last week, with McKees Rocks PA's Ed Wiser picking up his second win of the season of the season in a good race over Ken Puglishi, Brian Huchko, Garrett Keffer, Ricky Steigerwald and Ian Tomei. The second main had Carnegie PA's Brian Huchko winning his 7th win of the season. Huchko beat Ricky Steigerwald, Ed Wiser, Ian Tomei, Ken Puglishi, Garrett Keffer, and Eric Goldberg. Brian Huchko also won the heat.

Point leader Daniel White, Carnegie PA, won his 4th win of the season in the Imperial Heights Garage DIRTcar Young Guns. White won over newcomer Zachery Staley, Justin Pons, and Adam Carson.

Thunderstorms wipe out features Saturday at Mercer; make-up features to be run in subsequent nights
By: Mike Leone

(Mercer, PA).After a sunny start, thunderstorms developed off Lake Erie and
worked their way right across Interstates 76 and 80 plowing through Mercer
County and washing out the feature events Saturday night at Mercer Raceway Park.

Because all of the preliminary events were completed as per Mercer Raceway
Park's rain check policy, make-up features will be run in subsequent events.
The tentative schedule will begin with Mini Stocks this Saturday night, July 31
followed by Modifieds on August 7, Sprint Cars and FASTRAK Late Models on August
14, and Stock Cars on August 21.

Because of some confusion with announcements made during the thunderstorms when
people were exiting the gates, Mercer Raceway Park has made a decision to allow
those holding paid grandstand rain checks the following discounts for the next
two weeks only: adults $5, families $5, and students $2.

Due to time constraints now for the remainder of the season as to the nature of
the schedule, the "Meet Your Heroes" Autograph Night will be unable to be
rescheduled; however, the "In the Spotlight" pre-race autograph program will
continue nightly. Any drivers that had custom autograph cards prepared for this
night should contact the office to be scheduled within the "In the Spotlight"
program.

Heat winners were the following: Bob Felmlee and Eric Williams-Luxaire Heating &
Cooling Sprint Cars, Lonny Riggs and Jimmy Holden-Approved Toilet Rentals
Modifieds, Max Blair and Josh Double-4 Your Car Connection FASTRAK Late Models,
Russ Byler and Steve D'Apolito-Big Daddy's Speed Center Stock Cars, and John
Ford and Pete Blazczak-M&D Paving Mini Stocks. The feature fields for the
make-up features are set and no new cars will be added.

Coming up this Saturday night, July 31 will be the "Sprint Slug-Out" Open Wheel
Shootout event featuring the DIRTcar Sprint Challenge Series for $2,000 to-win
plus the first appearance in five seasons by the ARDC Midget Cars competing
wingless along with the Modifieds, Stock Cars, and Mini Stocks.

Mercer Raceway Park is a 3/8-mile dirt track located minutes from both
Interstate 79 and 80 just off Route 19 on Fairground Road in Mercer, Pa. Dirt
track racing and quality family entertainment are presented weekly late March
through early October. The office in New Bedford, Pa. is open year-round late
mornings and after 1:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. For more information call

Severe Weather Shortens the Program at Hummingbird Speedway; Smeal, Moore, Hess, and Surra Victorious in Make Up Features
By: Robb Thomas

(Reynoldsville, Pa) July 24, 2010

To say the weather has been uncooperative this season at the Hummingbird Speedway would be an understatement. Several shows have been cancelled due to rain, and much like last week, this weeks show was halted by severe weather. On tap at the bullring was a full five division regular show as well as the completion of last weeks Street Stock feature and make up feature events for the Limited Late Models, Pure Stocks and Front Wheel Drive 4 Cylinders. Several new winners found victory lane in the make up features as Ryan Hess (Pure Stocks), Eric Moore (Limited Late Models) and Doug Surra (FWD 4 Cylinders) picked up their first feature wins, while Dan Smeal added to his win total in the Street Stocks.

The night started off with the Street Stocks returning to the track to complete their feature that was on the track last week when the rains hit. Fifteen laps remained in what would turn out to be one the most exciting finishes of the year. Leading feature winner Joe Kot led the field to the green with Jim “The Animal” Bloom on his outside. Kot would take the lead and begin to open up quite an advantage as Dom Surra and Bob Rosman worked their way around Bloom on the start. While Kot was pulling away from the field, thirteenth place starter Dan Smeal was working his way to the front, and used the low line to gain the fourth position from Bloom. Surra and Rosman were racing hard for second when Rosman took the spot on the low side of turn one and two, there was contact that resulted in a flat left rear tire for Rosman and a damaged hood for Surra. Rosman headed to the pits, as the #44 of Smeal gained the second spot from Surra and began to set his sights on Kot for the race lead. Kot had opened up a large lead, but that lead was erased when the caution flew for a spinning Brandon Connor. The restart put Smeal right on Kots’ rear bumper, and set up a duel to the finish. Kot took the lead on the restart with Smeal all over him. Smeal was looking low at both ends of the speedway, hounding the leader as the laps were winding down. Kot and Smeal would run side by side several times during the final few laps with Kot able to power back into the lead on the exit of the turns. As they crossed the line with two laps to go, the pair were side by side again, and would continue that way as they took the white flag. Kot was on the high side, with Smeal on the bottom as they entered turn one on the final lap. Smeal was able to gain a half a car length advantage as the pair raced side by side down the backstretch and in to turn three. The lead pair exited turn four door handle to door handle, and it was a drag race to the checkered flag. Smeal was able to maintain the slim advantage and crossed the line to take the win by a nose with Kot right by his side! The victory was Smeals’ third win of the season and it was a race that will be remember by all for a long time to come! Following Smeal and Kot across the line to round out the top five were Gary Little, Jeff Mease and Jim Bloom.

The Limited Late Model make up feature was next on the track with hot shoes Luke Hoffner and Cody Schultz on the front row. The green flag flew and the field flew into turn one. Hoffner and Schultz got together in turn one, sliding up the track allowing second row starters Eric Moore and Denny Fenton to slip by into the top two positions with John Chesnalavich right behind them. Hoffner quickly worked his way back around Chesnalavich for third as Fenton was looking under Moore for the lead. Contact was made between Fenton and Hoffner in turn three resulting in Fenton spinning in front of the field. The caution was charged to Fenton who was placed at the rear of the field, while it was ruled that Hoffner would retain his position as he didn’t stop on the track. Thirteenth place starter Dwayne Brooks was on the move and had worked his way into the top five and was challenging Schultz for third. Several cautions would slow the event and shuffle the field through the second half of the race. Each restart would see Moore power away to maintain his lead. Brooks was working the low side of the speedway and made his way around Hoffner into second. Hoffner would spin in turn two on the next lap and took a hard hit after the spin from Denny Draisma. Both drivers were ok, but both cars received severe damage. Out front, Moore was the class of the field as he once again powered away on the restart as the #1B of Brooks spun exiting turn 4. As the laps wound down, Moore began to stretch his lead as Chesnalavich was holding off the charges of Bobby McMillen for the second spot. When the checkered flag flew, it was Moore picking up his first win of the season in commanding fashion with Chesnalavich, McMillen, Brooks, and Rich Womeldorf rounding out the top five.

The Pure Stock make up feature was up next with Justin Kanouff and Dustin Challingsworth leading the field to the green flag. Leading feature winner Kyle Shannon was starting scratch on the field after recording three wins in a row in previous weeks. On the start, Kanouff shot into the lead with third place starter Matt Heindl settling in to second and Ryan Hess following in to third. Kanouff would lead the early portion of the race as the field jockeyed for position behind him. A quick caution would erase the lead that Kanouff had gained putting Hess right behind him for the restart. Hess got a great run out of turn two and the pair were side by side as they entered turn three. Hess powered out of turn four and into the lead as the midway point of the race passed. With the laps winding down, Hess continued to lead as Mike Calhoun was making his presence known taking the third position from Heindl and the second position from Kanouff a lap later. Once in second Calhoun quickly reeled in Hess and began challenging for the lead as the white flag flew. Calhoun made one last charge on the final lap but Hess turned away the challenge and went on the earn his first career feature victory! The top five at the line were Hess, Calhoun, Heindl, Zach Gustafson, and Kanouff.

The FWD 4 Cylinder make up feature rolled on to the track as the storm clouds began to thicken in the distance. Doug Surra would take the lead from his front row starting spot and never looked back as lead the entire distance picking up his first feature win of the season! Danny White, Aaron Luzier and Shawn Fedder put on a show with a race long battle for the second position. The top five at the line were Surra, White, Luzier, Fedder and Ben Smith.

With the make up races complete, and the storms appearing to be tracking north/east of the speedway, the heat races for the nights regular five division show were brought to the track. Adam Nixon and Mike Anderson picked up heat wins in the Four Cylinder division. The first Street Stock heat was on the track when a Tornado Watch and Severe Thunderstorm Warning were issued for the area. Dark clouds and streaks of lightening filled the sky as Brian Rhed took the checkered flag in the heat race. With severe weather on the way, track officials decided to cancel the rest of the show. The skies opened up ten minutes later as heavy wind and rain hit the speedway. Since half of the regular show was not completed, rain checks will be good for next week at the speedway. Next week is Fan Appreciation Night at the track and fans will be invited to the track during intermission to meet their favorite drivers. Bring you cameras and sharpies and be sure to get a picture and an autograph from your favorite Hummingbird Speedway drivers!

John Flinner tops first half of PENNational, rain wins second half at PPMS for UFo Race Championship

Imperial, PA (July 24) Pittsburgh's Pennsylvania Motor Speedway had scheduled the PENNational on Saturday night, with twin 28-lap feature races. John Flinner from Zelienople, PA won the first race, but weather moved in and the second race was canceled by rain. The second race for the co-sanctioned show between the UFo Race Championship and ULMS Racing Series will be made up as an added bonus to the Red Miley Rumble on Saturday, August 28.

29 cars were on hand for the event, divided into three qualifying heats. Keith Barbara took the first heat win, from the pole position. John Flinner topped heat 2, from second starting position. John Mollick won heat three from second spot. Lynn Geisler won the B-Main to set the 24 qualifiers for the first of the Pennational 28's.

In the redraw for the top 12 starting positions, front row berths were earned by Jim Stephans and Jared Miley, and they led the field to the green flag with lightning flashing to the north of the Monster Half Mile. Miley took off in the lead at the drop of the green over Stephans, Mark Banal, UFo point leader Chad McClellan, and Steve Baker. Baker shot to third on lap 2 ahead of Banal and eighth starting John Flinner, as McClellan slowed to a stop with a flat tire for the event's first caution period. After another incident on the attempted restart, Miley continued to lead over Baker, Flinner, Stephans, and Keith Barbara. Miley quickly built an advantage over the field, but entering turn one on lap 5 his mount shot up the track and pounded the outside wall, ending his evening.

Baker inherited the lead on the restart, and he controlled the race over Flinner, Barbara, Stephans, and PPMS point leader Mike Johnson. Baker and Flinner pulled away from the field as they raced for the lead, with Flinner making a strong challenge at lap 10. Entering turn three, Flinner dove to the bottom of the track and cleared Baker, becoming the new race leader with 11 laps complete. Third was being hotly contested between Barbara, Stephans, and Johnson, with Johnson taking fourth on lap 12.

Past halfway, Flinner continued to extend his lead. Baker gave chase in second, with Barbara and Johnson continuing to swap third place. Laps continued to tick by, and Flinner took the white flag as the eighth place car of Lynn Geisler slowed in turn two to add some drama to the end of the race. Gone was Flinner's huge lead, and Baker would line up alongside in what would be a two-lap race to the finish per Series rules.

Flinner chose the outside lane for the restart, with Baker now on his inside. Flinner got out ahead at the drop of the green, and at the white flag Baker was trying the inside for a chance to pass. Johnson and Barbara were third and fourth, with Alex Ferree getting a great restart on the high side to gain several spots to get to fifth.

At the checkered flag it was John Flinner earning the win from eighth starting position. Third starting Steve Baker was a close second. Mike Johnson won the battle for third, from 11th starting spot. Alex Ferree earned fourth spot, from 21st starting spot and after being involved in the second lap 2 tangle. Jim Stephans was fifth, in a good run after missing some time with engine problems. Keith Barbara was sixth, with Mark Banal, Ben Miley, Boom Briggs, and Brandon Wearing rounding out the top ten. Ferree earned the Pass-Maximum award winner, presented by Bernheisel Race Components and Lazer Chassis, for advancing 17 positions in the main event.

Flinner drew a 12 for the invert for the second race, which will be made up on Saturday, August 28 before the Red Miley Rumble. That will put Mike Knight and Dennis Lunger on the front row for that 28-lap event. The 24 cars that ran this race will earn starting spots, the five non-qualifiers will be alternates for the makeup race. All drivers have been given starting points for the canceled event.

Chad McClellan continues to lead the point standings for the UFo Race Championship, with a 20 point lead over John Mollick. Keith Barbara is 20 points behind Mollick in third, with Tommy Beck fourth. Danny Mitchell is fifth, with Jared Miley, Jim Kutas, Doug Horton, D.J. Myers, and Jared Hawkins filling the top ten in points.

The UFo Race Championship will now be idle for several weeks. The next scheduled event will take place on Sunday, August 22, at Thunder Valley Raceway in Central City, PA. The Shawn McGarvey Showdown will be run, with $3,000 going to the winner.

John Flinner wins the first leg of the Twin 28's UFO/ULMS Penn National Late Model features at Pittsburgh's PA Motor Speedway
By: Miley Motorsports

John Flinner wins the first leg of the Twin 28's UFO/ULMS Penn National Late Model features at Pittsburgh's PA Motor Speedway, with Mike Pegher Jr. and Hannah Ramsey also winning on July 24th 2010 before the rains hit and postponed the rest of the show

PITTSBURGH, PA - July 24,2010 - Cranberry Twp. PA's John Flinner picked up his second win of the season in the first leg of the Twin 28's UFO/ULMS Penn National Hoosier Tire Mid-Atlantic DIRTcar Late Model feature. Jim Stephans and Jared Miley brought the 24 car field down for the start, with Miley taking the lead on lap 1, with a battle for the top five positions with Stephans, Chad McClellan, Steve Baker, Mark Banal and Keith Barbara all involved. Stephans held second, with Baker and Banal battling for third. The first caution appeared on lap 2 with McClellan slowing with a flat. On the restart, Mark Banal looped it in turns three and four and collected Dave Wade, John Mollick and Alex Ferree. Miley continued to lead on the restart, with Baker now in second, with John Flinner moving up from 9th to third, and Stephans in fourth. On lap 5 Miley's night came to an end when his throttle stuck and he clobbered the first turn wall, and was done for the event. Baker was now in the lead with Flinner in second and Keith Barbara was in third. Baker and Flinner battled side by side for the next five laps before Flinner took over on lap 11. Flinner had things well under control with Baker in second, Barbara in third and Mike Johnson now in fourth. Flinner and Baker were well out in front as the race went on, with Johnson all over Barbara for third. On lap 27 Lynn Geisler tagged the wall in turn 2 bringing out the yellow. So this set up a green/white/checker finish. Flinner and Baker went at it once again, with Flinner prevailing, winning his second PPMS main this season and second career UFO race. Mike Johnson grabbed third, with Alex Ferree coming from 10th to 4th in the last two laps, with Stephans a solid fifth. Barbara faded to sixth followed by Mark Banal, Ben Miley, Boom Briggs, and Brandon Wearing. The heats saw Keith Barbara, John Flinner, and John Mollick picking up wins with Lynn Geisler winning the B-Main. Twenty nine cars were on hand.

In the Brougher's Machine Shop Fastrak Pro Late Crates, Mike Pegher Jr. Wexford PA won his third feature of the season. Pegher started on the pole, and for 3/4ths of the 20 lap main, had an easy time of it holding a several car length lead over second, at first Josh Holtgraver, then after lap 10 Kyle Lukon. But it seemed at lap 14, Pegher seemed to slow his pace, and Kyle Lukon, caught and passed him for the lead. The pair then battled for first for the next three laps, with Pegher back in front on lap17, and he held it to the end. Holtgraver was third followed by Justin Lamb, Mike Reft, Laura Lukon, Colton Flinner, Mark Moats Jr., Scott Schempp, and Dan Karalagas. The heats fell to Mike Reft and Kyle Lukon. Darrell Dow had a hard crash on lap 9 of the feature, hitting the first turn wall. He was OK, but the #5J was in bad shape.

Robinson Township PA's Hannah Ramsey won her first ever feature in the Imperial Heights DIRTcar Young Guns. She beat point leader Daniel White and Justin Pons (who was driving the Alec Broniszewski #08). It marked the fourth time in PPMS history that a female driver has won a feature, the others being Kari Gasser, Laura Lukon and Sarah Schrum.

During the Miley RV Service UMP Modified feature, the rains hit with the green flag just being thrown. It will be a complete restart when the race is resumed. The Modified feature, the second UFO/ULMS Penn National 28 lap feature, the Sunoco Race Fuels DIRTcar Cadet feature and the Miley BP Car Wash Hobby Stocks feature, all will be rescheduled and run at a later date.

Upcoming at PPMS, on July 31 will be a FREE Butler/Armstrong County night, and DPS Penn night and a complete regular show. On August 7, TMSA E-Mod Tri-State Challenge, a 25 lap feature for the E-Mods, plus a complete regular show. Regular shows consist of the DIRTcar Super Late Models, Fastrak Pro-Lates, DIRTcar E-Mods, Cadets, Hobby Stocks and Young Guns!

Rob Blair Continues His Dominance at Central PA Speedway with $3,000 ASLMS Win
By: Jason Shank

Clearfield, PA - July 2, 2010 - Jason Shank - All Star Championship Racing
Inc.

Titusville, PA's Rob Blair has been unbeatable at Tim Bainey's Central PA
Speedway in 2010 and he continued his winning ways at the Clearfield, PA
oval with a late race pass on Jared Miley for the lead to capture the
$3,000, 'Let Freedom Ring 25' payday.

Miley and Mike Knight led the field to the green flag with Miley taking
control while Knight, John Britsky, and Matt Lux would all battle for the
runner-up spot. Miley started to pull away as the three would continue to
battle for second until lap 9 when ASLMS regular Gregg Satterlee came up
lame in turn two to bring out the events first caution. The race was
slowed again for another lap 9 caution as Darren Peters lost the handle of
his Rocket Chassis in turn one.

Miley lead the Delaware Double File restart to the green before getting
bombarded with pressure from Britsky and Knight. Miley regained control of
the event while Lux became part of the battle again for second. Sixth
starting Boom Briggs began to show his muscle as he made his way into the
top-five with the ninth starting Blair in tow. Miley looked to be well in
control of the event while the rest of the top five could be covered with a
blanket. The third caution of the event slowed the pace on lap 15 and
front-runner's John Britsky shot to the pits with a flat left-rear tire and
Knight slowed to a stop in turn two under pace laps. Britsky was able to
rejoin the field as was Knight, who had a loose distributor cap, as Miley
took the green to restart the event.

Blair was on the move as he battled with defending 'Yankee Doodle 50'
champion D.J. Myers for third. Blair made his way past Myers on lap 16 for
third while Briggs put pressure on Myers for fourth before the yellow was
thrown again on lap 17. Miley again set the pace when racing resumed but
Blair was picking his way up to the leader while getting by Matt Lux for
second before two more cautions slowed the field on laps 19 and 22 setting
up a three lap dash to the finish.

Blair and Miley made contact as the two entered turn one during the restart
causing Miley to shoot up the race track and fall to 11th position as Blair
continued on to the victory. 'It just didnt seem like Jared would fire on
restarts,' Rob explained. 'It looked like he was hitting a slick spot in
turn four where we were starting and whoever was behind him had a bit more
traction. My car took off on restarts and on that last one, I was able to
get underneath him going into one.' D.J. Myers finished second followed by
Lux, 11th starting Tim Fedder, and Briggs who rounded out the top-five.
Greg Oakes was scored with a sixth place finish with John Garvin Jr.
seventh, Tim Smith Jr. eighth, Todd Snook in ninth, and Mike Knight tenth.

Jason Covert wins Holiday Special
By: Dave Harclerode

BEDFORD, PA - The Three State Flyers visited the Bedford Speedway Friday night, and Jason Covert picked up his second career feature win at the historic oval. In other action, Robbie Black earned the win in the Limited Late Models, Jim Sayler in the Street Stocks, Terry Norris returned to victory lane after a long dry spell, and Juan Ryan earned his first ever victory in the 4 cylinders.

Randy Burkholder led the 27 car field of Super Late Models to the green for the 35 lap main event, and was able to hold the point position for eight laps until Jeff Rine motored by with 27 laps to go. Jason Covert, who started third, kicked his Rocket chassis into high gear mid race and caught Rine to put on a great two wide show for several laps. Covert's bid for the lead was halted twice for cautions, and finally with 13 to go, Covert put his number 43a into the lead coming out of turn two.  A caution with eleven to go grouped the field for a restart, and that's when things turned sour. Randy Burkholder suddenly slowed on the frontstretch while running in the top five, and the field stacked up at full speed. Several top runners were eliminated or sent to the back of the pack. When racing resumed, it was Covert at the point, JT Spence second, Jeff Rine third, and Jeremy Miller fourth. The field kept this lineup until lap thirty when JT Spence went pitside, relinquishing the second spot.  Covert took the checkered, followed by Rine, Miller, Nick Dickson, and Brian Bernheisel. Frankie Plessinger came home sixth, and Andy Haus, Scott LeBarron, Larry Wright, and Brian Booze completed the top ten. Jack Pencil, Rine, and Dickson won the heat events, and Rine won the dash for cash.

In Limited Late Model action, Robbie Black returned to victory lane after missing a season of racing last year. Pole setter Rance Garlock took the lead at the drop of the green, and held the point until lap nine when ninth starting Matt Sponaugle worked his way into the lead. Sponaugle held the point for two laps, but went pitside during a caution.  Garlock resumed the lead, but Black made a daring move in turn three with 6 laps to go to take the lead and the win. Garlock settled for second, Daniel Cornman third, Matt Howsare fourth, and Rick Singleton fifth.  Completing the top ten was Grant Adams, Donnie Farlling, Corey Weaver, Travis Calhoun, and Eddie Cornett. Justin Kann and Daniel Cornman won the heats.

Jim Sayler continued his hot streak in the ultra competitive Street Stock division. Sayler started in the fifth position past race leader Dave Brown for the win. Brown finished second, Bob Jay third, Daryl Whetstone fourth, and Brian Duffy fifth.  Heat winners were Bill Henney and Duffy.

Terry Norris won a well earned victory in Hobby Stock action, holding off the division's point leader Charlie Walter for a big win.  Following Norris at the checkered was Walter, Bill Replogle, David Riley, and Reed Stickel, Jr. Norris and Replogle won the heats events.

Juan Ryan earned his first ever victory in 4 cylinders by a large margin.  Robert Pluta, Paul Crynock, Jr., Paul Crynock III, and Cindy Rhodes completed the top five.  Heats went to Dave Lambert, Cindy Rhodes, and Juan Ryan.

Next week the speedway will be back in action with a five division show, highlighted by the annual kid's bike races.  Call the speedway office at 814-623-0500 for more information, or visit

Joel Watson Wins Lakeview Ford E-Mod Special at Raceway 7
By: Jay Pees

Joel Watson Wins Lakeview Ford E-Mod Special! Fawcett gets second win in a row. Boyd gets fourth win and Blair sets record with seventh consecutive win!!!

Conneaut, OH (July 2, 2010): Raceway 7 presented an E-Mod Special Friday night with Joel Watson taking home the winner's portion of the purse, a cool $1000. Other winners included Shawn Fawcett, picking up his second consecutive win, Jonny Boyd, his fourth of the season, and Max Blair, extending his incredible win streak to seven in a row.

The Zimmer Service Center E-Mods were running for $1000 to win with Randy Hall and defending champion Percy McDonald on the front row. Hall led the pack to turn one with Rich Michael coming to second by the back straight of lap one. On lap three Hall and Michael went down the back chute side by side and maintained that for the next lap with Hall gaining the edge again at lap four. Michael was able to get alongside several times over the next laps until spinning in turn one at the start of lap eight. After green, Hall again assumed the point with Percy McDonald and Joel Watson fighting for second with Watson gaining the spot at halfway. Watson came by for the lead at lap 11 with Hall slipping back to second. With five to go, Watson had a ten car-length lead over Hall with Percy McDonald third, Rich Gardner fourth and Brent Rhebergen fifth. Watson had smooth sailing the rest of the distance to pickup his second win of the season.

Jamie Brown sat on the pole for the start of the Schwartz Construction FASTRAK Late Model feature with Mike Mitchell alongside. Pandemonium broke loose at the start as four cars piled up right at the green including Bob Dorman, Les Lyon, Jim Long, and Brent Rhebergen. Mitchell led with Blair moving to second and challenging for the lead with '09 champion Dennis Lunger third. More cautions slowed the pace but by lap six Blair managed to get by for the lead, out-braking Mitchell heading into turn three. Blair's luck went bad at that time as Dwayne Pond spun in turn two, negating the pass. Mitchell continued to lead with Blair hounding him every lap and John Lacki second until the halfway point when the leader succumbed to mechanical woes. Blair then opened up a bigger lead every lap over Lacki with Billy Henry running third, Dennis Lunger fourth and Shane Bambarger fifth. After a final caution for Bud Watson's encounter with the front-straight wall, Blair finished off the win with Henry getting by Lacki on the final lap. John Haggerty wound up fourth with Lunger fifth. It was a record-setting seventh victory in a row for the young Titusville driver. In tech it was discovered that Haggerty was light at the scales and disqualified, moving Lunger to fourth and Shane Bambarger to fifth.

Fourteen Campbell's Mini Storage Street Stocks took the green flag for 15 laps of racing in their feature. Shawn Fawcett, looking for two wins in a row, came from the second row to lead the first lap but caution flew on lap two for a spin by pole-sitter Russ Byler. After green was again shown, Fawcett again led with Dan Lewis coming to second on lap three. Coming out of turn four Chris Seaman slammed the wall hard, bringing out the red flag. Lewis was able to run with Fawcett after green but had major engine problems at lap five. With Lewis gone, Bolyard was second until Zach Downes came by at lat seven. At halfway, points leader Ken Zimmer was third. With nine laps in Art Edwards spun in turn one, erasing Fawcett's substantial lead with the yellow flag. Immediately after green, Edwards again spun. For the remainder of the race Fawcett had a clear track and romped to his second consecutive win with Denny Crawford taking second over a fast-improving Zach Downes. Two-time winner Ed Bolyard was fourth with Ken Zimmer fifth.

Doug Smith and Bud Sergeff brought the 12 Evergreen Lake Park Campground Mini Stocks to the green flag but the start was waved off when Ron Armstrong came to a halt before the starter's stand. Sergeff, looking for two in a row, took the immediate lead with Jonny Boyd, Kyle Jackson, and Brad Cole having a three-way battle for second. At lap four Sergeff had a three car-length lead over Boyd. At halfway Boyd pulled alongside Sergeff just as yellow came over the track when Jake Eller came to a stop in turn three. After green Boyd quickly re-assumed second and then closed the gap on the leader, getting by at the end of eight laps. Boyd then went on to his fourth win of the season over Sergeff and Brad Cole. Kyle Jackson wound up fourth with Bill Rabbits fifth.

Next Friday at Raceway 7 will be the giant 40th anniversary celebration with personalities from the Raceway's early years in attendance, the only appearance of the year of the Super Late Models in a ULMS race, and a giant fireworks display brought to you by Lakeview Ford.

PITTSBURGH, PA - June 27, 2010 - In the Hoosier Tire Mid-Atlantic DIRTcar Super Late Models, Cranberry Twp. PA's Lynn Geisler proved that age is meaningless, as the 60 year old picked up his first win since June 21 2008.

Miley ended up second followed by point leader Mike Johnson, Steve Baker, Brandon Burgoon, Dave Wade, Chuck Medved, Doug Crawford, Jim Lepro and Ben Miley. Jared Miley and Brandon Burgoon won the heats.

The Brougher's Machine Shop Fastrak Crates had Burgettstown PA's Kyle Lukon pick up his third win of 2010. It was a battle between two of the classes biggest winners, as Mike Pegher Jr. and Lukon went at it for a good portion of the event, but for the second week in a row Pegher's luck turned sour in the late stages of the event as his motor went sour while he was starting to pull away from Lukon. At that point it was all 3rd starting Lukon, as he held off a strong Mike Reft to win the event. Josh Holtgraver was third followed by Bryant Hank. The heats saw Josh Holtgraver and Mike Pegher Jr. take the wins

McKees Rocks PA's Jake Simmons continued to be the man to beat in the Sunoco Race Fuels DIRTcar Cadets, holding off last week's winner Chris Schneider to pick up win #4 of the young season. Simmons started 7th and took the lead off Nick Kocuba on lap 5, and battled with Chris Schneider for the last half of the event to grab the victory. Pat Weldon was a close third followed by Craig Koteles, Bob Schwartzmiller, Gary Koteles, Bobby Heim, Joe Koteles, Kocuba, and Mitch Wattelet. The two heats saw Pat Weldon and Chris Schneider take the heats.

After struggling a bit to find victory lane in the early season, Midway PA's Daryl Charlier won his second win in a row in the Miley RV Service UMP-Modifieds. Charlier started in 3rd and took the lead on lap 2 and never looked back in a romp. Chris Basich ran a solid race to finish second followed by Kari Gasser, J.E. Stalder, Vince Laboon, Clayton Kennedy, Kevin Miller, Tom Martineck, Willy Briggs, and Brad Westover. The two heats saw Chris Basich and Chuck Kennedy grab the wins.

The Miley Car Wash DIRTcar Hobby Stocks saw Pittsburgh PA's Eric Goldberg pick up his second win of the season.

Dave Murdick scores double win weekend; Robbie Blair, Rich Michael, Jr., and Jackson Humanic also come up aces at Tri-City
By: Brian Spaid

FRANKLIN, PA...Despite clouds and light drizzle throughout the afternoon, the weatherman cooperated entering the evening hours, and Tri-City Speedway presented another four-star racing program on Sunday night as Dave Murdick (Engles Trucking DIRTcar Big Block Modifieds), Robbie Blair (4 Your Car Connection FASTRAK Late Models), Rich Michael Jr. (Welding Technologies/Shaw Industries E Mods), and Jackson Humanic (E.F. Rogers Plumbing & Heating Pro Stocks) captured feature wins at the Venango County half-mile oval.Dave Murdick of Slippery Rock, Pa., scored his career first double win weekend by capturing the 20-lap DIRTcar Big Block Modified feature event. After winning on Friday night at Lernerville Speedway, Murdick used lapped traffic to his advantage to pass Kevin Bolland for the lead and the win with three laps to go. The victory was Murdick's third career feature win at Tri-City."It's good to be the guy running second in that situation," grinned Murdick in victory lane beside his Armstrong Cable Zoom Internet Troyer No. 61. "We were better than Kevin in three and four, and he had the better of us in one and two. But, we hung in there and he hesitated with that lapped car and I pounced on it. It feels great to be here and win two in the same weekend for the first time ever. It's been a long time coming."Bolland used his outside pole position to pace the field at the start of the race. Two cautions in the early going allowed Murdick to move into second. Once there, Murdick chased Bolland lap after lap. As Murdick chased him down in turns three and four, Bolland still held the advantage at the other end of the track. Murdick showed his nose to Bolland a couple of times, but the four-time track champion held him at bay as the race went caution-free after the third circuit.Then, on the 17th circuit, Murdick made the move of the race. With the lapped car of Don Brown coming up quickly entering turn three, Bolland paused to choose the lane to pass. Murdick was close enough that he dove under Bolland into the corner and stole the lead. As the lead duo worked through traffic, Murdick increased his advantage and raced home the winner. Bolland was second with Andy Priest, Rex King and Brad Rapp rounding out the top five. Jeremiah Shingledecker finished sixth ending his bid to become the first driver in the modern era to win four DIRTcar Big Block Modified features in a row. Rapp and Dean Pearson won the DIRTcar Big Block Modified heats.Robbie Blair of Titusville, Pa., won the 20-lap FASTRAK Late Model feature for his second consecutive win in the class at Tri-City. Driving the blue and white Bossard's Sales and Service/4 Your Car Connection/Specialty Fabrication Rocket No. 111, Blair defeated his son, Max, who entered the race looking for his third win of the weekend. However, the elder Blair's second career FASTRAK Late Model win at Tri-City was not without a little controversy as the veteran driver slowed and gave hand signals over the last couple of laps to his son in an effort to help the younger Blair's win total in the national point chase. The signals did not produce the desired results, but stirred the crowd."Max and I raced to the front from about the same starting spot," said Blair after the event. "It doesn't matter whether I win or he wins, it's still the same result. I thought the tacky track would make it difficult to pass, but the track was good for passing all over the place."The race finish remains unofficial pending the results of a protest relative to an alleged engine infraction raised by one race team against another after the race. In accordance with FASTRAK Late Model rules, all protest procedures were followed and the engine inspection will occur this coming week with the final finishing order determined at that time.Driving the Chris Force car, Gregg Satterlee started on the pole position and led the field at the start over teammate Bryan Force. While Satterlee dashed away, the Blairs charged to the front from their midpack starting spots. After Joe Martin slammed the turn two water barrels on the seventh circuit, Robbie Blair was running fifth. Three circuits later, he charged outside Satterlee off turn two to take the lead. Max Blair was in third, but it took him nearly the entire second half of the race to get by Satterlee for second. At the finish, Robbie Blair topped Max Blair, who closed quickly, but could not catch his father to make the pass for the win. Satterlee finished third, but was disqualified for a weight infraction after the race. As a result, Force finished third over Colton Flinner and Dan Karalagas. For all three drivers, it was the career best finish for each one at Tri-City. Karalagas and Robbie Blair won the FASTRAK Late Model heat races.Rich Michael Jr. of Ischua, N.Y., is the hottest E Mod driver in the region, and he finally captured his first career feature win at Tri-City. Piloting his Carlin's Pizza Pit Stop/4AM Signs and Graphics Jet Mod No. 17X, Michael led every circuit of the 16-lap E Mod feature and won despite a broken left shock and a late caution that almost allowed rival Justin Carlson past for the win."I thought the race was over," said Michael. "Then, Justin got beside me in the backstretch and I had to get a run on him into turns three and four. We almost had a win here earlier this year. This one was a little tough because I knew something was wrong with the car, and I found the broken left shock on the red flag. We'll take this one back home."Michael's win was hard fought. He had to fend off Carl McKinney during the first half of the race. Then, he battled with Shawn Shingledecker and Carlson, who swapped second and third several times over the last half of the race on the tacky surface. With each battle, Michael held the advantage, but it was difficult for him to set a good pace due to five cautions and one red flag, which occurred when Evan Taylor flipped his car in the frontstretch after contact with the front wall. The final caution setup overtime with an extra lap added to the race. Michael continued to lead on the restart, and he thought he won the race when he crossed the line. He bobbled slightly, and that allowed Carlson to dive under Michael in the backstretch. Michael raced Carlson through the final corners to lead off turn four. At the finish, Michael was the winner over Carlson, Shingledecker, Butch Southwell and Ron Roncaglione. Roncaglione and McKinney captured the E Mod heats.Jackson Humanic of Titusville, Pa., earned his first victory of the season in the 15-lap Pro Stock feature. Piloting his R&R Hardwoods/Timber Lake Lodge Ford-Chevrolet No. 17, the win was the fourth of Humanic's career at Tri-City and opened the 2010 Klapec Auto Body Pro Stock Mini Series. Taking the lead on the ninth circuit after leader Randy Wyant suffered mechanical problems, Humanic raced home the winner."If Randy hadn't broke, I would not have won this race," said a happy Humanic in victory lane. "I would never have caught him. This team has worked really hard the last few weeks to get here. I have to thank everyone involved for all they do."After Terry Wheeler led the first circuit, Humanic took the lead with an inside move at the finish line at the completion of the second circuit. However, on the fifth circuit, Humanic nearly spun in turn two, and Wyant and Wheeler dashed by him. Humanic recovered to take back second and tried to catch Wyant, but the two seemed to run the same lap times. Then, on the ninth circuit, Wyant came up lame, and Humanic took command. Jason Johns made it to second on the 12th circuit, but he could not catch the flying teen. Humanic took the win over Johns, Russ Coyne, Wheeler and Charlie McMillen. Coyne and Johns won the Pro Stock heats.Next Sunday June 20th, Tri-City Speedway will return to action with the first five-star racing show of the season featuring the Engles Trucking Services DIRTcar Big Block Modifieds, 4 Your Car Connection FASTRAK Late Models, Welding Technologies/Shaw Industries E Mods, and E.F.

Coleby Frye wins Speedweek Closer at Bedford
By: Dave Harclerode
BEDFORD, PA - Bedford Speedway hosted the Appalachian Mountain Dirt Late Model Speedweek finale on Friday night, and 37 cars Super Late Models and 34 Limited Late Models filled the pits for the event. Coleby Frye won the biggest race of his young career, pocketed $5,000, and put on a courageous show as he literally battled door to door with one of the regions best. The Limited Late Model feature was won by Tim Smith, Jr., who holds the record for most wins at Bedford in the division.Time Trials for the Super Lates started the evening, and DJ Troutman's 19.389 seconds nearly broke Scott Bloomquist's 19.346 one lap track record. Troutman, driving a car owned by Limited Late Model driver Daniel Cornman, also scorched the field in his heat race and looked to be a serious contender come feature time. But Troutman's engine expired as he took the checkered in the heat, and the car was parked for the night. Other heat winners were Rick Eckert, Coleby Frye, and Jack Pencil. Randy Burkholder and Scott Haus won the two B-main events. The 40 lap main event for the 25 car field started without a hitch, and Coleby Frye grabbed the top position at the drop of the green. By lap 13, Frye encountered lapped traffic and was able to put some distance between himself and second place runner Jeremy Miller. As the top two worked through traffic, a huge battle for third on back thrilled fans. Vic Coffey, Derek Byler, Rick Eckert, and DJ Myers put on the show battling for the third through sixth spots. Back at the front, Miller was slowly gaining on Frye, and a late race caution with 9 to go put him right on Frye's bumper. When the green came back out, it was Frye running the top side and Miller on the bottom every lap with Frye gaining a slight advantage each circuit. Coming to the white flag, Frye hopped the cushion in turn 4 and Miller pulled along side down the frontstretch. The pair made contact, and it was Miller with the lead going into turn one on the last lap. The pair again made contact coming off of turn two, and this time it was Frye with the advantage, an advantage he'd carry all the way to the checkered. Frye was ecstatic in victory lane after picking up the biggest win of his career, and Miller was less than happy with the results. Vic Coffey earned the third finish spot, and rookie driver Derek Byler and wylie veteran Rick Eckert completed the top five. Sixth through tenth went to DJ Myers, Darryl Hills, Jack Pencil, Jamie Lathroum, and Jeff Rine.Tim Smith, Jr. was the best of 34 Limited Late Models, and won his 24th career feature win at Bedford. Smith won the 25 lap event over Matt Sponaugle, Rick Singleton, Matt Cosner, and Craig Wagaman.

Mel Minnick beats the field and the weather at Roaring Knob for UFo Race Championship

Markleysburg, PA (June 12) A late afternoon rain shower delayed the start of the Laurel Highlander at Roaring Knob Motorsports Complex in Markleysburg, PA. But promoter Rick Jones and staff made the decision to patiently wait out the weather, and nobody was happier for that Mel Minnick. The veteran driver from Uniontown, PA took the lead from Tommy Beck on lap 18 and held off a strong challenge on a late restart to collect the popular victory.The redraw for the top 12 starting positions for the Laurel Highlander 38 produced front row starting positions for Jim Kutas and Tommy Beck. At the drop of the green flag, Beck used the outside groove to take the early lead. Two laps in, the first of three cautions in the 38-lap main event flew for D.J. Myers, as his car rolled to a stop in turn two. Beck chose the outside lane for the double-file restart, and again grabbed the lead as just one more lap was registered before a caution for a Danny Mitchell spin in turn four.The race would now see an extended period of green flag racing. Beck chose the outside, and again pulled into the lead over Kutas, Bob Gordon, fourth starting Mel Minnick. Gordon got a nose ahead of Kutas on lap 7, but Kutas was able to fend him off to hold second. Ninth starting Chuck Harper entered the top five on lap 9. The leaders hit race traffic on lap 13, with Beck still showing the way. Kutas was still leading the battle for second, but had issues on lap 15 which reshuffled the running order as he fell back in the running order. Minnick was the benefactor as he advanced to second over Gordon, Harper, and 12th starting Doug Horton.Minnick quickly closed on Beck as the leaders continued to work race traffic. Working lap 17, Minnick caught Beck down the backstretch, and swooped inside entering turn three. The move worked, and Minnick would be the new leader on lap 18.At halfway with the green light still on, Minnick led Beck, Harper, Horton, and Gordon. Still working race traffic, Minnick worked hard through the traffic to gain a comfortable advantage, leaving his challengers to battle for second. On lap 23, Harper and Horton both got by Beck, but were a long way behind the leader.At lap 31 with seven laps remaining, the race took a major change in complexion. Sixth running Gordon slowed on the front stretch to bring out the caution. While Minnick would now get a break from race traffic, his comfortable lead was now gone. With his choice of lanes for the double-file restart, Minnick selected the outside, putting Harper to the inside.When the green waved, both drivers got an even start and raced side-by-side to turn one. Minnick slid to the top of the banking, and got a good run through turns one and two, pulling ahead to resume the lead down the backstretch. Gary Dalton nosed by Horton to take third. With laps clicking by, Harper stayed close and closed in on the final lap. But Minnick remained flawless and scored the popular victory.Harper settled for a close second. Dalton, who was quiet in the early part of the race, got better as the event went along in his third place run. Horton was fourth. Chad McClellan advanced from 11th starting spot to get fifth, as Beck, Bob Hershman, Keith Barbara, Kutas, and John Mollick rounded out the top ten.Bob Gordon, Gary Dalton, and Jim Kutas won the three heat races for the 18 entries.The next stop for the UFo Race Championship will be Thunder Valley Raceway in Central City, PA. The "Shawn McGarvey Showdown" will take place on Saturday, June 19. This event will mark the firstt-ever appearance of the UFo Super Late Models at this Laurel Highlands race track.With his fifth place finish, coupled with the tenth place finish for John Mollick, Chad McClellan gained ground in the UFo Race Championship point standings. The two drivers are now tied for the Series point lead, as the Series champion will tentatively earn $5000. Keith Barbara is third in the point chase, with Tommy Beck fourth. Danny Mitchell is now fifth, as Doug Horton, Jared Miley, Jim Kutas, Gary Dalton, and Tony Musolino round out the top ten.The UFo Race Championship is an event marketing alliance among supertracks in the Pennova region (Western PA-Northern WV-Northeastern OH).

Felmlee's sprint win is first in over 2 years at Mercer
By: Mike Leone
FELMLEE'S SPRINT WIN IS 1ST IN OVER 2 YEARS AT MERCER; HOLDEN EDGES SCHAFFER FOR
1ST IN MODS; #3 FOR BLAIR IN FASTRAK; 1ST FOR HAINES IN STOCKS; LEHNERD REPEATS
IN MINIS
Mercer, PA.After five rainouts in the past seven race nights at Mercer Raceway
Park, the prospects of racing didn't look promising with an 80% chance of rain
for Saturday and Saturday night; however, only a brief sprinkle fell as sunshine
was present for the majority of the day and evening allowing the program to be
completed.
Celebrating in the Hoosier Tire Mid-Atlantic victory lane were Bob
Felmlee-Luxaire Heating & Cooling Sprint Cars, Jimmy Holden-Approved Toilet
Rentals Modifieds, Max Blair-4 Your Car Connection FASTRAK Late Models, Chris
Haines-Big Daddy's Speed Center Stock Cars, and Lee Lehnerd-M&D Paving Mini
Stocks. It was $10 Family Night presented by Klingensmith's Drugstore and
Lambert Racing/Bagel Bites Corp. Night.
On April 10, Ed Lynch, Jr. ended a two and half year winless drought at Mercer.
On May 15, Danny Holtgraver returned to victory lane for the first time in three
years at Mercer. Saturday night, it was Bob Felmlee ending his winless spell at
Mercer capturing his first Sprint Car victory at the 3/8-mile oval since April
26, 2008. Felmlee's victory came in the 20-lap Luxaire Heating & Cooling Sprint
Car feature and was worth $1,500 plus a certificate for a Goodyear Tire.
"That was great," expressed the Franklin, Pa. veteran racer. "I like to start
on the pole and get out front and do my own thing. My foot was down hard on the
floor and never lifted other than turn three. That was Chad Reitz's line in the
Modified that I was using there. I have to thank Chad, Woody, and my mom is
here tonight; Keizer Wheels, the Goodyear Tire deal, Vinyl Graphics, and
everybody that's helps us out- I greatly appreciate it."
Felmlee started on the pole moved up ahead of outside pole-sitter Carl Bowser
just past the flag stand. It was a hard race into turns one and two, but
Felmlee prevailed over Bowser. Two-time winner Mike Lutz slid off turns three
and four and landed on his side bringing a halt to racing action with one lap
completed.
When racing resumed, seventh and eighth starting Ed Lynch, Jr. and Rod George
moved into the top five getting by Chris Best. Lynch pressured newcomer Andy
McKisson for third on laps four, five, and six before making the move driving
under McKisson in turns one and two for the spot.
Felmlee caught lapped traffic on lap nine, while Lynch closed on Bowser for
second. Lynch made a great move on lap 10 driving under Bowser in turn four
using the lapped car of Brian Steinman to his advantage stealing away second.
The event was slowed for the second and final time when Holtgraver spun with 12
laps completed.
The last eight laps went green-to-checkered as Felmlee drove off unchallenged in
his World of Wheels/Lutz Auto Body-sponsored to his 24th career win at the track
tying him for seventh on the all-time win list with Arnie Kent and Rod George.
Lynch's runner-up extended his point lead and earned him another Goodyear Tire
hard charger certificate. Bowser was third. McKisson edged George by a wheel
for the fourth spot. Dan Kuriger, Holtgraver, and Best were sixth through
eighth. Eric Williams was the last car on the lead lap and earned a Goodyear
Tire certificate. Steinman was 10th. Heat winners were Lutz and George, who
won the random draw Goodyear Tire certificates.
Jimmy Holden has been a two-time winner at Sportsman's Speedway this year and on
Saturday night captured his first of the year at Mercer holding off a staunch
late race challenge by Jeff Schaffer to win the 20-lap Approved Toilet Rentals
Modified feature.
"This is unbelievable," stated the Tiona, Pa. star who took over the division's
point lead. "The car was absolutely brilliant at the beginning. There was
nothing we could have done to make it any better, but we lost a little tail
weight at the end. I saw Schaffer there with two to go under me a couple times.
He had some good runs, just not quite enough. We did a great job and he
obviously did too. He was putting the pressure on me. It means a lot to win
here; these guys bring it every week."
The race's only caution came on the opening lap when second place starter Kevin
Green got tangled up and collected five other cars in turns three and four.
When racing resumed, Holden marched into the lead, while Schaffer was able to
get by Rick Hall for the second position. Seventh starting Gary Smoker drove
by Hall for third on the backstretch on lap six.
Holden began to pull away from Schaffer just past the halfway point, but
Schaffer caught back up to Holden on lap 17. Schaffer was all over Holden in
the final three laps getting alongside the race leader, but Holden had just
enough to hold on for his sixth career win in the Dean Holden-owned, Holden Oil
& Gas/Holden Precision Machine/DAH Oil/Jet Water Hauling-sponsored #28H. After
the early caution, the race went non-stop in 5 minutes and 52 seconds.
Smoker was third over Hall and Matt Reeher as all five top five finishes
recorded their season best finishes. Sixth through tenth were Eric Gabany,
Steve Barr, Frank Guidace, Dave Shook, and Clyde Gumpp. Hall and Lonny Riggs
won the heats.
After five rainouts and missing two other events due to Northeast Touring Series
events, Max Blair returned to Mercer Raceway Park on Saturday night for the
first time since April 10 and made it three-for-three in 2010 in the 4 Your Car
Connection FASTRAK Late Model division.
"I say this every single week, but this place just keeps getting nicer and
nicer," described the 20-year-old Centerville, Pa. racer. "The track prep crew
does a heck of a job here every single week. This is one of the nicest places
to race I go to. It's definitely on my top two favorite tracks I've ever been
to."
Blair led all 20 laps and only two cautions for spins by Mike Anderson, Jr. on
lap six were all that slowed his run to the checkered. Blair's all-time
division-leading 10th career win came in his Specialty Products/4 Your Car
Connection/Moody & Son Welding/Bossard's Sales & Service-sponsored #111.
Behind Blair, great racing was taking place for second through sixth. Dwayne
Pond, Brian Booher, and Butch Lambert took over second through fourth from Joe
Martin on lap two. Lambert and Booher swapped third and fourth numerous times
with Lambert getting by for good on lap 12. Lambert was right on Pond on lap
17, but Pond had just enough to hold on for second. Lambert was third in his
first start in 2010. Booher was fourth over eighth starting Kyle Zimmerman, who
continues to maintain a big point lead. Martin fell to sixth with Sean Puz,
Leigh Wheeler, Rusty Cade, and Shawn Schaltenbrand rounding out the top 10.
Booher and Pond won the heat races.
Point leader Chris Haines finished runner-up in the first four Stock Car races
of the season and throw in three second place heat finishes. On Saturday night,
Haines finally registered a P1 taking the victory in the 15-lap Big Daddy's
Speed Center feature for the first time in nearly three seasons.
"I'm tired of finishing second," stated the Sandy Lake, Pa. driver, who will be
doing double duty this Saturday night competing with the BRP Modified Tour.
"I'm glad we finally won. We've put in a lot of hours at work and finished up
at 5 tonight to get here. I was kind of glad for the rainouts really. That was
a shame for Steve (D'Apolito) when he broke. He was definitely going to beat
me. I was trying to keep up with him, but that's the way it goes."
Dwight Boice led the first three laps before fourth starting Steve D'Apolito
drove under the leader in turns one and two, while Haines passed Terry Wheeler
for third. Haines took second away from Boice on the lap six restart. Shaun
Hooks moved to third on lap seven getting by Boice.
D'Apolito looked poised for his third win of the season, but after racing
numerous laps with a packed right rear tire full of mud, the entire rear axle
let go on his mount on lap 12 handing the lead to Haines. Haines then went on
for his second career win, but first since August 11, 2007 in his Lakeview
Fertilizer/Jerry Lucas Auto-sponsored #35H.
Hooks and Boice crossed the finish line in second and third, but were
disqualified in post-race tech. Wheeler and Charlie McMillen were credited for
second and third for their best finishes of the season. Bryan Wagner matched
his season best fourth place finish with newcomer Chip Walsh completing the top
five. Wheeler and D'Apolito won the heat races.
Lee Lehnerd barley held off hard charging Tim Callahan to become the first
repeat winner in 2010 in the Mini Stocks. Lehnerd won the last time racing was
held on May 15 in the 12-lap M&D Paving feature. "We are talking to a company
about sponsoring us for the rest of the season," explained the Cabot, Pa.
driver. "We'd like to run here the rest of the season for points. I kept
looking and I couldn't see anybody, but I saw him (Callahan) coming off turn
four."
Four starting Pete Blazczak charged to the lead, while Lehnerd made his way from
eighth to fourth on the initial lap. Lehnerd then passed newcomers Todd Gabriel
and Troy Norman for second on lap two. Blazczak led until lap six when his car
lost power handing the lead to Lehnerd with seventh starting Callahan up to
second. Callahan gave it his best to become the seventh different winner in as
many races as he was all over Lehnerd from laps 10 to the finish, but Lehnerd
had just enough to hold on his #71 for his fourth career win. Norman was third
with season best finishes by Merle Black and Ed Haylett in fourth and fifth.
Callahan and Wally Stearns, Jr. won the heat races.

Kot repeats win at Hummingbird

KOT REPEATS; HOFFNER, BARNETT, SHANNON, AND FEDDER PICK UP FIRST WINS OF THE SEASON AT HUMMINGBIRD SPEEDWAYReynoldsville (June 12) - The temperature was hot, the weather was ominous, and the action was intense as Hummingbird Speedway saw four first time winners this season. Joe Kot of DuBois was the lone repeat winner as he captured his second Street Stock feature win in a row. Luke Hoffner of Turbotville took home the checkers in the Limited Late Model class as other winners were Alan Barnett of Philipsburg (Four Cylinders), Kyle Shannon of Brockway (Pure Stocks), and Shawn Fedder of Clearfield (Front-Wheel Drive 4-Cylinders)It was "Racing Pioneers' Night" and former drivers from the 1960s - 70s were on hand. Bud Garvey and friends brought a number of old racecars to the track as well. The old-time cars were on display and one of them, former driver Jimmy Walker, carried the American flag during the National Anthem with his vintage racer, along with his grandson Jeremy Buck in his current Pure Stock. The old-time cars also took to the track to run some laps after the heat races were run. Then it was time for the features to beginMark Hummel and Barnett brought the field of Four Cylinders trackside for the first feature race of the evening. Hummel led the first lap, but Barnett worked his way around the outside to lead lap two. Hummel then ran side-by-side with Mike Anderson for a number of laps as they battled for the second spot. Adam Nixon was working his way toward the front when he and Hummel made contact on the backstretch; both cars retired to the pits. At the halfway mark it was Barnett, Andersonul Metz Jr., George Bailey, and Tim Bailey. Barnett began to stretch out his lead as Anderson, Metz, and G Bailey battled for second. Anderson gained the second spot and began to challenge Barnett for the lead, but Barnett held on for his first win of the season. Metz and Anderson captured the heat race winsNext up were the Street Stocks, with Craig Lobb (subbing for Dan Smeal) and Brandon Connor on the front row. Lobb led lap one, with Craig Bainey and Connor running side-by-side for second. Bainey's race was short-lived as his engine blew on lap three. Connor was leading on the restart, with Gary Little and Joe Kot applying pressure. On lap eight, Bob McMillen (subbing for Jamie Price) spun and was collected by Bruce Hartzfeld and Jim Bloom. Kot led on the restart, followed by Connor, Little, Bob Rosman, and Chad Rougeux. Kot held the lead through several more minor cautions, and Little got by Connor for second. He tried hard to get by Kot for the last three laps, but Kot held on for his second straight win. Heat race wins went to McMillen, Little, and BaineyThe field of seventeen Limited Late Models took to the track next, led by Bob McMillen and Denny Fenton. McMillen led early, and started to pull away slightly, but Luke Hoffner reeled him back in and began to apply pressure. Halfway it was still McMillen, followed by Hoffner, Ed Connor (subbing for Denny Draisma), Dwayne Brooks, and Eric Moore. McMillen and Hoffner traded the lead several times on laps fourteen through sixteen, and following several more cautions, Hoffner began to pull away by lap twenty. Connor moved up to second and tried to catch Hofner but ran out of laps as Hoffner took his first win of the season at Hummingbird. Moore, McMillen, and Brooks rounded out the top five. McMillen, Denny Fenton, and Hoffner copped the heatsJeremy Buck and Ryan Hess made up the front row of the Pure Stock field at the drop of starter Bob Sullinger's green flag. Before a lap was complete, there was a four-car pileup in turn two. On the complete restart, Hess took the lead, with Buck applying pressure. The top three began to pull away from the rest of the field, and at the halfway point it was Hess, Buck, Kyle Shannon, Justin Kanouff, and Matt Heindl. Shannon worked his way into second place and got by Hess on lap eleven just as the caution flew for a spin in lap two. He hung onto the lead on the restart, and began to pull away late and picked up his first win of the season at the track. He was followed by Buck, Mike Calhoun, Steven Arthurs, and Heindl. Heat race wins went to Calhoun and ShannonThe final feature event of the evening was the Front-Wheel Drive Four Cylinders, with Bill Weber and Lee Zalno making up the front row. A spin on the initial start by Rich Lucas cause another complete restart, and Zalno took the lead. He held the lead through several more cautions and the ensuing restarts, as Jacob Kline, Weber, and Shawn Fedder tried to close the gap. On lap three, Dan White clipped on of the infield tires coming out of turn four and rolled his car several times. White was unhurt. The restart saw a four car battle for the lead, and the top spot was finally gained by Weber. He led lap five, but Fedder took it away from him on the next lap. Halfway through the event Fedder led, with Weber, Kline, and Zalno giving chase. Fedder continued to lead as Kline and Weber battled side-by-side for the second spot. Fedder took the win, followed by Kline, Weber, Zalno, and Aaron Luzier. Heat race victores went to A Luzer, M Luzier, and Kline82 cars were in the pits despite very threatening weather and events at several surrounding communities. They treated the fans to some exciting action, and the program was completed shortly before 11PM. Next week will see another five-division program at the 3/8 mile facility located between Falls Creek and Reynoldsville. Race teams and fans are reminded that road construction will force the closing of Route 830 just outside of Falls Creek.

Daniel Angelicchio wins FASTRAK Grand Prix at PPMS
By: Miley Motorsports
On June 12, 2010 at Pittsburgh's PA Motor Speedway on Colussy Chevy Night, Daniel Angelicchio, won the Fastrak Grand Prix, John Flinner, Daryl Charlier, Chris Schneider, Brian Huchko and Joe Gombach III won the other features.

PITTSBURGH, PA - June 12, 2010 -
The Brougher's Machine Shop Fastrak Pro Late Model Crates 25 Lap Grand Prix saw Greensburg PA's Daniel Angelicchio pick up his first win of the season and first since 2008, and his third career win. Rocky Kugel led the first three laps before Mike Pegher Jr. took over on a restart. Pegher seemed to have things under control pulling to over a straightaway over fellow two time winner this season Kyle Lukon. A caution flew on lap 15 for the stalled Justin Lamb. On the restart, Kyle Lukon took over the lead as Pegher didn't seem to have the speed he had earlier. Then suddenly on lap 17 Pegher broke a wheel coming off turn four bringing out the caution. Lukon again grabbed the lead and opened up a bit of a margin. Angelicchio moved past Rocky Kugel for second, and seem to be closing on Lukon quickly. Then on lap 21 Lukon got a flat tire slowed and brought out the yellow. On the restart Angelicchio pulled away to lead the last four laps for the win.

Heating & Cooling Sprint Cars for $1,500 to-win, Approved Toilet Rentals
Modifieds, 4 Your Car Connection FASTRAK Late Models, Big Daddy's Speed Center

"The Free Venango County Night has always been a tremendous night for us,"
stated marketing director Vicki Emig. "Not only are there a lot of race fans
from Venango County, but considering it's just a short drive down Route 62 or
across Interstate 80, we're able to attract a lot of new people to The Park that
probably otherwise would have never came. The 2 for $20 promotion is a new one
we wanted to try this year- unfortunately the first one got rained out."

(Volant, Pa.)-Modifieds, Kyle Zimmerman (Albion, Pa.)-FASTRAK Late Models, Chris

championship at Mercer.

"I'm really hoping for some good weather Saturday," stated new owner Bill Atman.
"It was nice to finally see sunshine last Saturday and no chance of rain as
truck and tractor pulling fans came out in masses to see a great event. We've
really fought the weather for our race events losing four of the last six and
hopefully that trend will change Saturday. I want to invite out all the
residents of Venango County to enjoy a night on me and experience the great
racing we have to offer. I have to thank Spanky's Tobacco World for coming on
board in 2010 as an important marketing partner."

Blair Hoists 'Grizzly' in O'Reilly All Star Late Model Series Action at Central PA Speedway
By: Jason Shank
Titusville, PA's Rob Blair has always wanted to lift the traditional fifty
plus pound, wood carved 'Big Bear' trophy that greets race winners at Tim
Bainey's Central PA Speedway in Clearfield, PA. On Sunday night, Blair
added the 'Big Bear' trophy to his continuously growing trophy case after
dominating the 2010 O'Reilly All Star Late Model Series sanctioned
'Grizzly'.
Tour regular Gregg Satterlee of Rochester Mills, PA and South Park, PA's
Keith Barbara led the field to the green flag with Satterlee gaining the
edge and third starting John Britsky moving up into second. While
Satterlee led the early laps, Britsky, Barbara, and Boom Briggs all battled
for the runner-up spot. The race was slowed on lap nine when 2010 ASLMS
Rookie of the year contender John Garvin spun in turn one for the events
first caution. Racing resumed for one lap when Franklin, PA's Matt Lux
lost the handle in turn two and slammed hard into the outside retaining
wall. The violent hit sent Lux's brand new MastersBilt Chassis across the
backstretch leaving nowhere to go for 2010 ASLMS Rookie of the Year
Contender Darren Peters. Peters crashed hard into the driver's side of the
Lux machine sending Peters over on his roof to bring out the red flag on
the tenth circuit. Both drivers were sore after the collision but fine.
When the green flag dropped to restart the event, Boom got the whole-shot
over Satterlee while sixth starting Rob Blair following into the second
spot moving Satterlee back to third. Briggs' stint at the front wouldn't
last long as the well prepared track surface began to get wider. Blair
used the widening surface to his advantage putting his Rocket Chassis named
'The Blue Angel' on the outside and around Briggs for the lead on lap 13.
Briggs stayed right with 'The Titusville Terror' as they caught lapped
traffic. While Blair worked the lapped traffic, Briggs looked for an
opening. Boom's maneuvering opened the door for Satterlee to take a peek
for the second spot but Briggs was able to hold off the youngster. The
three leaders battled until the race was slowed again on lap 26.
Blair continued to lead as Britsky became involved in the tussle with
pressure on Satterlee for third. All the while, Britsky had to fight off
Barbara for fourth. The action was slowed again one lap later for the
event's fourth caution. During the restart, Barbara made his way around
Britsky for fourth as Blair continued to pull Briggs and Satterlee around
the track. One quick circuit later, Britsky pulled up lame coming out of
turn two and went pitside with a terrible vibration in the left rear of the
car, ending his night.
As the track continued to widen, Blair got stronger and began to pull away
from the other front runners as Keith Barbara tried to look under Satterlee
for third but he also pulled up lame coming out of turn two after popping a
motor. After two quick cautions on lap 34 and 38, Blair really began to
show his muscle by again pulling away from Briggs, Satterlee, Jared Hawkins
and Jared Miley until a caution on lap 47 that set up a three lap dash to
the finish. Blair got the jump on the restart and blasted his way to his
second ASLMS win of the season and third of his career. Briggs followed in
second with Satterlee third, Miley worked his way into fourth with Hawkins
falling to fifth in the final rundown. Greg Oakes finished sixth, Tim
Smith Jr. was seventh, Matt Gaston, Billy Dickson, and Bobby Stokes rounded
out the top ten.

Jeremiah Shingledecker and Randy Hall win Modified Madness at Pittsburgh's PA Motor Speedway
By: Miley Motorsports

PITTSBURGH, PA - May 29, 2010 - Jeremiah Shingledecker Polk, PA won the BRP portion of Modified Madness. Shingledecker started on the pole, but had anything of an easy time winning the 30 lapper. Shingledecker grabbed the lead at the start with third starting Brad Rapp hot on his heals for second. The front running pair ran this way until lap 11 when a caution appeared. On the restart Rapp took over and began to pull away, while the battle for 2nd raged between Shingledecker, 8th starting Kevin Bolland, Del Rougeaux and Rex King. Bolland took over 2nd on lap 19, with Rex King moving past Shingledecker also. Shingledecker moved past King for third the following lap and began to battle back with Bolland. Meanwhile Rapp was on cruise control with a comfortable lead. This would all change for Rapp on lap 25 as a puff of smoke came out his exhaust, and Shingledecker also moved past Bolland for second, which ended up being a winning pass. A yellow appeared on lap 26, and Rapp pulled into the pits with engine problems. On the restart Bolland slowed, also exiting with engine problems. From that point on, it was all Shingledecker as he led the remaining laps to pick up his first ever win at the track. Del Rougeaux got by Rex King on one of the late race restarts to end up second followed by King, Rex King Jr., Jeremy Paup, Mike Turner, Jr. McGinley, Kevin Hoffman, Mike Miller, and Steve Feder. Three heats for the 28 cars on hand fell to Del Rougeaux, Gary Smoker, and Jeremiah Shingledecker .

Ageless Veteran Ben Miley, Venetia PA grabbed his first Hoosier Tire Mid Atlantic DIRTcar Super Late Models since July 8th 2006 in a 25 lap non-stop event. Mike Norris and John Mollick brought the field down for the start. Norris led the first lap, before Mollick took over on lap 2. Mollick, driving a Jim Lepro backup machine, led the next 9 laps with 5th starting Ben Miley hot on his heels. Miley took the lead on lap 11, with Mollick staying with him for several laps. Meanwhile Steve Baker and Brandon Burgoon were moving up from their 8th and 9th place starting spots. The pair got around Jim Lepro on lap 3, Mike Norris on lap 5 and Lynn Geisler on lap 14. Baker got around Burgoon on lap 17 and began to reel in Mollick, but ran out of time. Miley cruised to the win followed by Mollick, Baker, Burgoon, Geisler, Mike Johnson, Daryl Charlier, Mike Norris, Dave Murdick and Brandon Wearing. Mike Johnson and Dave Murdick grabbed the heats. It was Miley's 54th career win, 2nd on the all time win list.
The ULMS Miley RV Service UMP Modifieds Modified Madness portion of the show saw Olean NY's Randy Hall pick up his 2nd career win at the track. Jeff Taylor and Daryl Charlier brought the field down for the start. Charlier grabbed the lead, while 3rd starting Carl McKinney moved into second on lap 2 and chased Charlier. For the first half of the event Charlier had things going his own way with a comfortable lead over McKinney. Several restarts kept the field close at times, but Charlier was able to pull away on each. Meanwhile Hall moved up from his 5th starting spot into third and began to battle with McKinney for second on lap 4. Hall made his move on McKinney for second on a lap 6 restart, and set after Charlier. As the race went on Hall gained on Charlier, and finally slid past on lap 19. From there on it was Hall's race as he pulled away for the win. Charlier was a disappointing second followed by McKinney, Kari Gasser, Kevin Miller, Tom Martineck, Kyle Bedell, Vince Laboon, Jeff Taylor, Jim Taylor, and Jim Turley. Heats for the 24 cars on hand were won by Carl McKinney, Randy Hall, and Chuck Kennedy. Chuck Kennedy had a fine 4th place run end on lap 23 when he slowed and pitted with mechanical problems. A lap 14 tangle involving six cars knocked Jeff Taylor out of a top five run, however he recovered to finish 9th.In the Brougher's Machine Shop Crate Lates, Burgettstown PA's Kyle Lukon picked up his second win of the season. Lukon, who started 11th , passed early leader Darrell Dow on lap 9 and never looked back winning by a large margin. Dow who was having a career night, ended up second, but lost out in post race inspection, when it was discovered he had illegal tires on and was D.Q.ed. So that put Dennis Niederriter in second from 12th, for his best run of the year so far, followed by Bryant Hank, Laura Lukon, Mike Reft, Bryan Hoffman, Ken Chernik, Mark Moats Jr., Colton Flinner and Derek Stefanick. The heats had Dennis Niederriter and Kyle Lukon pick up the wins.The Sunoco Race Fuels DIRTcar Cadets had McKees Rocks PA's Jake Simmons pick up his third win in a row in a battle with Bob Schwartzmiller and Pat Weldon. Joey Koteles grabbed the lead at the start on lap 1 with Bob Schwartzmiller moving ahead on lap 3. Schwartzmiller led until lap 6 when 7th starting Simmons took over. Simmons never could shake Schwartzmiller and Pat Weldon in his sharp new car joined the fray and shadowed Schwartzmiller. At the end it was Simmons, Schwartzmiller, Weldon, Joe Anthony, Joey Koteles, Bobby Heim, Curt Bish, Nick Kocuba, Bill Robertson, and Craig Koteles. Nick Kocuba and Jake Simmons won the two heats.The Miley BP Car Wash DIRTcar Hobby Stocks had a new winner, with Baldwin PA's A.J. Poljak picking up his first win in the class. Poljak, a veteran in the Sportsman class, subbing for Eric Goldberg in the #25, grabbed the lead on lap 1, lost it briefly on lap 7 to Brian Huchko who was looking for his 4th win of the season, regained it the next lap and led the remainder of the event. Huchko was second followed by Jason Herniak, Robby Torrens, Ed Wiser, Ricky Steigerwald, and Dan Duseheid.

Shingledecker tames the Monster
By: Louis Long

Jeremiah Shingledcker, the hottest driver in Big Block Modifieds these days, took the win in Maudisaurus X-2 at Pittsburgh's Pennsylvania Motor Speedway. It was his first win of the season on the BRP/Hoosier Tire Modified Tour and fifth overall.Shingledecker needed some good luck to overcome a tactical error. On a lap 11 restart, he chose the inside lane. That gave the high groove to Brad Rapp. Although Shingledecker fired first, Rapp's momentum through turns one and two gave him a commanding lead as the pack thundered down the back stretch. Rapp appeared to have the win well in hand when an oil leak sent him pitside. That gave Shingledecker the lead and the win. "I did not realize that I had the lane choice," Shingledecker said. He explained that he was having difficulty hearing the race director giving commands over the RaceCeiver radio system. "I had nothing for him, it is a shame that he broke like that," he added."That was the best car I've had in a long time," Rapp said dejectedly. Rapp thought that he could have made it to the finish had the race stayed green, but the caution period allowed track officials to discover that the oil leak was too severe to allow him to continue. "We think the leak came from a loose seal on the oil filter," he lamented. "We think it didn't hurt the engine at all." Shingledecker drew the pole position for the feature event. Steve Feder lined up beside him. At the drop of the green, Shingledecker got the lead, with Feder close behind. However, Rapp showed his muscle early, sweeping past Feder as the pair raced through turn three. Eric Gabany followed him into third.On lap two, Ron Eperthener, Jr. slowed coming off turn two due to a broken oil drive belt. He limped into the pits and the race stayed green. Randy Chronister was next to fall from the event, but, again, the green prevailed.The first caution came on lap 10, when Dean Pearson smacked the wall in turn one. Andy Priest struck the disabled racer, but was able to drive to the pits on his own to get service. Pearson was not as fortunate. He left on the business end of a tow truck.Shingledecker maintained the lead on the restart. Rapp, Del Rougeux, Jr., Gababny and Feder rounded out the top five. Caution slowed the action again on lap 11, setting up the restart that could have determined the outcome of the race. While the cars were circulating under the yellow, Dave Murdick surrendered his seventh place position and headed to the pits due to a wobbling left rear wheel. His father, Carl, suffered a flat and also pitted. Both of them were able to rejoin the action. On the attempted restart, Feder tangled with Kevin Hoffman. Both would have been awarded their starting positions because the track officials declared a false start. However, they pitted and had to go to the rear after minor repairs.As noted above, Rapp opened up a commanding lead on the restart. Shingledecker continued in second, but Kevin Bolland moved into third. That trio ran in formation through lap 17, when another caution slowed the pace. The rcaers involved in the tangle, Gabany and Priest, were unable to continue. The yellow flashed on again one lap later for Dave Murdick, who suffered from a broken rear hub. On the restart, Bolland took second and gave chase to the youthful Rapp. Shingledecker rallied and there was contact between Bolland and Shingldecker as the two fought for position on the long back chute of the Monster Half Mile.Rapp averted a near disaster on lap 25, when he closed too fast on the lapped car of Joe Kubiniek. Rapp swerved to avoid contact and kept the lead. Although Rapp's car had begun to smoke due to the oil leak, he maintained his lead until the caution flew on lap 26. It was during that stoppage that track officials noticed the oil leak and ordered him to stop to get the leak checked. When Rapp did so, he left a telltale puddle of oil in turn two. Rapp retired from the race, giving the lead back to Shingledecker.On the restart, Bolland got the jump, but his car slowed on the frontstretch. Shingledecker flew by him on the outside, regaining the lead at the flagstand. Track officials allowed the start to stand, but the caution was displayed moments later. Hard contact between Bolland and Del Rougeux damaged the oil tank of the 777. With Bolland in the pits, Rougeux took up the chase of Shingldecker, but he could not reel him in during the final four laps.Shingledecker claimed the win. Rougeux finished second, followed by a pair of Kings. Rex Sr. took third followed by his son, Rex Jr., from nineteenth. Jeremy Paup was scored in fifth, a career best on the Modified Tour.Sixth went to Mike Turner, who continues to crank out top ten finishes. The remainder of the top ten were J.R. McGinley, Hoffman, Mike Miller and Feder.Heat wins went to Rougeux, Gary Smoker (who turned the quickest lap of the night with his Small Block), and Shingledecker.There was no B Main. The next stop on the BRP/Hoosier Tire Modified Tour will be at Mercer Raceway Park on Saturday, June 19.

Huge Crowd Opens USA-East 2010 World Championship Truck and Tractor Pulling Season at Mercer Saturday
By: Rick Feicht & Mike Leone

(Mercer, PA).A super crowd and a beautiful evening for pulling were all part of
another great opening event for the USA-EAST Pulling Series at Mercer Raceway
Park on Saturday night. With temperatures hovering in the 80s and abundant
sunshine the grandstands were jam packed in anticipation of another awesome
display of power from four championship pulling divisions.
This was the first All-American "Spring Nationals" World Championship Pulling
Event at Mercer Raceway Park under the new owner, Bill Altman, who took control
of The Park just one month ago. The new team was very impressed by both the
quality and the quantity of high-powered iron on the grounds on Saturday night.
The pull was presented by Fallsway Equipment Company of Akron and Youngstown,
Ohio.
A special guest appearence by the former NTPA National Champion Ken Veney from
Wadsworth, Ohio and his Unlimited Modified tractor had the fans on the feet just
after intermission. The super charged four engine machine appears to be ready
for the start of another summer season for the "Funny Farmall" Team. Veney will
start his national circuit chase for 2010 in North Carolina next week-end.
Scott Sell, representing Cen.Pe.Co. Lubricants was on hand to report on a
specially formulated Cen.Pe.Co. product that is being used by Veney in his
ultra-powerful unit.
BIG RIGS PULLING SERIESIt was a very big night for the Rodgers Pulling Team from Philo, Ohio as they
debuted the second Mack R Model at this event and will campaign both trucks in
the Big Rigs Series in 2010. But the highlight of the evening was when Kendra
Rodgers took "Unleashed" to her first ever Big Rigs Series victory against a
stellar field of eight adversaries. While the truck has had a win in the past,
this was the first time that Kendra has entered the winner's circle.
Richard Scott from Diamond, Ohio was second with the "Silver Bullet" Mack from
the Sanders Pulling Team while Joe Giulitto also from the Ravenna, Ohio based
Sander's Team grabbed third with the all-new "Sneekie Pete", a beautiful yellow
Peterbilt powered by a 3406 Caterpillar. John A. Mann was fourth with the
always competitive "Lady Butterfly" KW from East Canton, Ohio. Three of the
regulars with the Big Rigs were not quite ready to go as Don Snyder's "Mr.
Nasty", Fred Sanders' "Silver Bullet II" and Dick Bonner's "Killer" were all
still under construction. The Big Rigs Series class was sponsored by Fox and
James Freightliner from Latrobe and Duncansville, Pa.
"SMOKER SERIES" TRACTORSKris Hoyt took up just where he left off in 2009 was a hard-fought win at Mercer
in this class presented by Watson's Inc. of Hermitage, Pa.. The Shikshinny,
Pennsylvania driver had his Case 970 in perfect condition as the reigning
champion took the victory over nine rivals. Hoyt's "Nut Case" appears to be
very ready to go for back-to-back championships.
The venerable Ray Link and his John Deere "Gone Mokin" from Patton, Pennsylvania
was second as Link returned to the "Smoker Series" after missing much of the '09
season after a serious agricultural accident. Third place went to the Empire
State Champion, Henry Everman from Dansville, New York, with his newly
re-designed "Final Decision" Super Stocker. And Russell Hildenbrand grabbed
fourth after a high-flying drive on the "JD Express" in from Ruffsdale,
Pennsylvania. Two of the top IH contenders in the class did not pull at Mercer
due to issues getting engine parts. Both Aaron Bradish' "Recycled Red" and John
Wilkins' "Shotgun Red" are expected to be factors in the series this summer.
PRO STOCK DIESEL 4x4 TRUCKSIn what has become the premier division for high-powered diesels in this part of
the country the USA-EAST class drew competitor from three states to Mercer
Raceway Park for the season opener. A total of 26 trucks entered the class with
ten of the top machines having full pulls! Of this group there was only one
Ford and that truck ended up with the victory and the long-distance travel award
at the same time.
Tom Nicholas from Johnstown, New York traveled over seven hours to take the win
with his Cummins-powered Ford named "The Juggernaught". Tom has two wins this
year after taking the win at Black Rock Speedway in Dundee, NY last week-end and
has marked himself as 'the truck to beat' in 2010. John Lorenz from Dover, Ohio
was 2nd with the "Gray Wolf" - the truck that has taken the USA-EAST crown the
past two season. Third went to Joe Gambino and the "Brother's Diesel" Dodge
from Springville, New York while Sam Tatalovic from Guys Mills, Pennsylvania was
fourth with "Gone Wild". This class was sponsored by Hovis Auto and Truck
Supply of Grove City, Pennsylvania.
PRO STREET GAS 4x4 TRUCKSThis is the all-new class for 2010 with USA-EAST. Pro Street GAS took the place
of the former 'open street licensed' division in order to give the truly 'hot'
street trucks a place to perform. And the trucks have responded to this new
configuration with twenty-one of the awesome machines answering the call at
Mercer.
Mike Barr's "Sled Wrecker" from Port Matilda, Pennsylvania continues to be the
one to beat at the long wheel-base Chevrolet took the measure of an excellent
field. The 440 Dodge of Mark Petros appears ready to challenge as the "Public
Enemy" from Herminie, Pennsylvania took the runner-up position. Chad Moore from
Fredericktown, Pennsylvania was 3rd with a good running big block Ford name "The
Convincer" while the fourth place went to another beautiful creation from the
George Nicholson shops in Westmoreland County. This 1957 GMC was one of the
crowd favorites. This class was sponsored by Hovis Auto & Truck Supply.

Derek Byler wins career first super late model feature at Bedford
By: Dave Harclerode
BEDFORD, PA - Bedford Speedway fans were treated to the best racing of the season Friday night, thanks to a great surface and some two and three wide racing. Derek Byler, a former Limited Late Model track champ, made the move to the Super Late Model division this year. Three weeks into the season, Derek earned his first ever Super Late Model win. It was Derek's first win in the division at any track. Rance Garlock returned to victory lane after a long hiatus in the Limited Late Model division, and Brian Duffy took top honors in the Street Stocks. Charlie Walter continued his dominance in the Hobby Stocks, and Jeff Treece earned his first win in the 4-cylinder class.
 
In Super Late Model action, Shawn Claar took the early lead and appeared to have the field covered. Claar pulled out to a healthy lead and dominated for 10 laps until a mechanical problem on his number 20 brought out the caution and fans watched as he pulled his car into the pits. Steve Everhart, who was running second, assumed the top spot but his fate would be similar. On the restart, the air cleaner cover flew off, causing a chain reaction effect on the field. Several cars were banged up, and only Eric Zembower and Nick Dickson suffered race ending damage. Everhart went pitside, and Derek Byler assumed the top spot. When the race returned to green with 15 laps to go, Byler blasted from the pack and took a commanding lead. Matt Parks managed to give a couple looks under Byler early, but in the end it was all Derek Byler. The win was his first, and excitement was in the air in victory lane. Matt Parks settled for second, and DJ Myers scored an impressive third place finish after starting 18th. Myers battled lap after lap with fourth place finisher Greg Fetters and fifth place finisher Scott Haus. Rounding out the top ten was last week's winner Jeff Rine, Jack Pencil, Scott LeBarron, Randy Burkholder, and Jerry Bard. Heat winners for the 22 car field were Derek Byler, Shawn Claar, and Scott Haus.
 
Rance Garlock won his first Bedford feature since 2003 in the Limited Late Model divisions. Garlock started second and was in first by the first lap, and held a comfortable lead the entire race. However, the action from second place on was excellent. Donnie Farlling, Rick Singleton, Matt Sponaugle, and Matt Howsare thrilled fans with side by side racing the entire race. Garlock took the checkered, and Sponaugle used every inch of the top side to take the runner up spot. Farlling finished third, Singleton fourth, and Howsare fifth. Sixth through tenth went to Justin Kann, Brian Lesley, Matt Cosner, Steve Bard, and Darrell Dick. Heats went to Singleton, Garlock, and Farlling.
 
Brian Duffy earned career win number 16 in a wild Street Stock main event. Fourth starting Jesse Snyder found himself in the lead after the top half of the field battled it out two and three wide for several laps. Duffy was able to work by Snyder and take the win ahead of a mob of drivers all battling for position. In the end it was Duffy, last week's winner Jim Sayler, Bill Henney, Snyder, and Bob Jay in fifth. Rounding out the top ten was Greg Hainsey, Daryl Whetstone, Travis Brown, and Donald Wyles. Sayler and Duffy won the preliminary heats.
 
Charlie Walter continued his dominance of the Hobby Stock division, winning his third feature event of the season. Walter started in the tenth spot, and Chad Gambol took the lead from his second starting spot right from the start. Mechanical problems sent Gambol pitside though, and Terry Norris assumed the lead. Walter picked his way through the field, and with the benefit of a crash between Ryan Beckett and Travis Group, Charlie found himself in second. After working Norris over for several laps, Walter took the lead and never looked back. Norris finished second, with Kenny Imler, Jr., Reed Stickel, Jr., and Ryan Beckett, who battled back from the tail of the field, completed the top five. Walter and Beckett won the heat events.
 
It appeared that Jeff Treece had won his first ever 4 Cylinder feature, but his car failed the tech inspection. Apparent second place finisher Ray Wright also failed tech, and the win was awarded to first time winner Jeremy Miller. Paul Crynock took home second, and Mike Lauffer, Tyler Beckett, and Ronnie Valentine completed the top five. Heat winners were Ray Wright and Jeff Treece.
 
Next week at the speedway is a regular show consisting of Super Late Models, along with Limited Lates, Street Stocks, Hobby Stocks, and 4 Cylinders. Coming May 28th, it's the World of Outlaw Late Model Series. Check out www.bedfordspeedway.com for more details.

Herb Scott passed away
By: Don Gamble
 
Auto racing lost a great man today. He was the ten time Pittsburgh Racing Association Champion and Hall of Fame Member.
 
Herb started racing in 1948 and he won his first feature that year at the New Kensington race track. His 500th feature victory came at Don Martin's Lernerville Speedway on May 30, 1975 and he won the last feature, number 520 at Latrobe Speedway in 1979.
 
Other honors which he has accumulated during his many years of facing included: the Pittsburgh Roadster Association title in 1951, twelve consecutive feature wins at Clarksburg, West Virginia in 1952, twenty one feature wins at Heidelberg in 1956 with a total of 45 feature wins for the year. Herb won the Pittsburgh Racing Association title from 1956 through 1960, 1962, 1965, and again in 1967.
 
His driving accomplishments came in several types of race cars including roadsters, modifieds, sprints, and late models. Herb ran at Langhorne and won the 1958 Tri-State Championship at Heidelberg. He also won the first Johnny Apple Seed Classic in 1970 at Mansfield, Ohio.
 
Other honors which he has received include: The Dapper Dan Club of Pittsburgh sports award 1957, 1960, and 1963. In 1974 Herb was inducted into the Western Pennsylvania Sports Hall of Fame. In 1977, the Hall of Fame at Pocono was established by the staff of the Race of Champions and Herb became a member. 2008 Herb was inducted in the National Dirt Track Hall Of Fame.
 
During his many years of racing, Herb drove for several car owners. The list sounds like the "Who's Who" of car owners. Some of the owners were: Bill "Pappy" Kessler, Doc Frawley, Hoot Martin, Art Munch, Tom Kennedy, Ziggy, and George Leon. Herb won his first trophy driving for Pappy Kessler. It is ironic that some twenty years later Herb's son Deek won his first trophy also driving for Pappy. When Herb drove for Doc Frawley he was teamed up with Bill Webster. Bill built and maintained the cars that he and Herb drove.
 
One of the most interesting owner-driver teams that Herb drove for was in 1971. Herb and teammate Bob Wearing drove the 8-ball cars of George Leon. On race nights each car would be racing at a different track. The idea was if they raced together they would have one first and one second. If they split, they could possibly, and usually did, win two events. In 1971 the Leon-Scott-Wearing team won an unheard of seventy features between them that year.
 
During the early years, Dick Linder was the driver Herb liked to watch in action. Later, Herb's favorite driver was his son Deek. Deek cut his teeth in the claimers and semi late divisions and later moved into the modified and late model ranks.
 
People often wonder why Herb retired while he was still at the top of his game. According to Herb he was getting light headed from time to time. He was racing at Schmucker's Speedway in Latrobe in 1979. Scott was leading the feature and there was a caution at the half way point for an accident. The race was stopped with all the cars lined up on the front straightaway. The drivers got out of their cars and Herb was leaning against the number 7. He began to get light headed again. Herb said "I looked up and made a deal with the Lord. I said if you let me finish this race I will quit. I won the race and sold the car the next day". That was the final race of a very successful career that includes a record 520 feature wins. The name Herb Scott is synonymous with winner.
 
Herb and his wife Pat have been married 60 years and they live in Wexford, Pa. In addition to their son Deek, they have two lovely granddaughters. He enjoyed retirement while driving around in his street rod and going to car cruises with his son Deek. 1960 was the first year of Herb Scott Service. This is the 50th Year of operation.
 
Family members included: granddaughters…Stephanie Sabo, husband Jason, Son Julian; they live In Plant City Florida. Julian is Herb's only great grandson. Jodie Cowan, husband Adam, they live In Butler, Pa. Herb's siblings…Harold, Roy, Elizabeth, Freeman, Lester, Ruby, and Donald all deceased.
 
Herb & Pat belonged to Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church, Wexford, Pa. Herb belonged too Masonic Lodge #716 in North Hills.
 
Funeral arrangements are not available at this time.

Mercer Raceway Park Sale to Bill Altman completed as of April 30; operations to continue status quo
By: Mike Leone
MERCER RACEWAY PARK SALE TO BILL ALTMAN COMPLETED AS OF APRIL 30; OPERATIONS TO CONTINUE STATUS QUO(Mercer, PA).Throughout the past month, Vicki Emig has worked with Bill Altman
to complete the purchase of Mercer Raceway Park to Altman. On Friday, the
65-year-old Altman of Butler, Pa. officially became the new owner of the
3/8-mile facility.
Emig owned and operated the facility from 1999 through the start of 2010 and
will continue to handle the promotional and marketing duties for Altman along
with longtime friend Terry Bowser. Frank Benic will be the track's general
manager and Mike Leone will continue public relation duties.
Mercer Raceway Park hasn't skipped a beat during this transition completing four
of the first six scheduled events. Altman made it known that he wants Mercer to
be the region's premier Sprint Car track as he upped the payoff by $1,000
including a region high $1,500 to-win weekly and has obtained five Goodyear Tire
certificates valued at nearly $1,000 to be given away weekly. Thus far, Mercer
has had the top Sprint Car talent in the area compete. Various other updates to
the facility have already taken place.
Altman successfully operated a Butler County-based trucking company for over 35
years until recently selling that business. He's been a lifelong race fan
spending his Friday nights at Lernerville Speedway.
"It's a relief to finally get all the papers signed and move forward," explained
Altman. "I stepped into this right before the season started, but the
transition has been very smooth thanks to all of the great staff at Mercer.
We've had some tremendous racing thus far and the quality of our Sprint Car
field has been second to none. These guys are going to be putting on some great
racing all summer long for the fans. And I'd be remised if I didn't mention the
importance of the racers in our Modified, Late Models, Stock Car, and Mini Stock
divisions and the great racing they provide."
"I've said it time and time again.there's not a better person I could turn
Mercer over to," stated Emig. "Bill has been a successful businessman, a family
person, loves racing, and is a believer in the concepts that has led The Park to
prosper over the years. With this in mind and what he is able to bring to The
Park can only mean great things for both the fans and racers. I'm looking
forward to being able to focus more of more time on the marketing and promotions
that have made Mercer stand apart from the rest."
Mercer Raceway Park returns to action this Saturday, May 8 featuring the Luxaire
Heating & Cooling 410 Sprint Cars, Approved Toilet Rentals Modifieds, 4 Your Car

Jared Miley picks up second win at PPMS
By: Miley Motorsports

Week 3 at Pittsburgh's PA Motor Speedway had Jared Miley pick up his second win, while Dan Karalagas, Jake Simmons, J.E. Stalder, Brian Huchko and Trevor Gombach win on May 1, 2010.
 
PITTSBURGH, PA - Jared Miley, South Park PA won his second feature of the young season in a last turn pass in the Hoosier Tire Mid-Atlantic DIRTcar Super Late Models. Tony Musolino and Ben Miley brought the field down for the green, with Musolino leading the first lap. On lap 2 Ben Miley grabbed the lead and led the next several laps, with Musolino hot on his tail. On lap 6, Mike Basich hit the second turn wall and rolled over, bringing out the red flag. Basich was OK. The race restarted with Ben Miley in the lead and Musolino in second and sixth starting Jared Miley in third. Jared Miley moved into second on lap 8 and into the lead past Uncle Ben on lap 10. At that point the race looked to be over, as Jared seemed to be on cruise control and opened up a big lead. However things don't always turn out the way they seem. On lap 18 the second yellow of the race appeared, as Daryl Charlier spun in turn one. While lining the cars up officials informed Jared Miley that he had jumped on the lap 6 restart, and was being docked two spots on this restart. So that put Ben Miley back up front with Musolino back in second. Ben Miley led the next 5 laps before Musolino grabbed the lead. Musolino was looking as if he was going to grab his first ever LM win, but Jared Miley made a wild last lap pass, getting by Ben Miley in the middle of three and then in four slid by Musolino to pick up the win. Musolino settled for second, followed by Ben Miley, Steve Baker, who battled tooth and nail with Jim Stephans in the last six laps, Stephans, Lynn Geisler, John Garvin, Daryl Charlier, Jason Rider and Mike Johnson. Steve Baker and Jared Miley grabbed the heats.
 
The Cadet Frenzoid 25 for the Sunoco Race Fuels DIRTcar Cadets saw McKees Rocks, PA's Jake Simmons pick up his first win of the season. Steve Webb and Joey Koteles brought the field down for the start, but third starting and opening night winner Dave McManus grabbed the lead on the first lap. McManus led thru lap 4, and on lap 5, 10th starting Jake Simmons took over. Simmons began to pull away from the field, while the battle for second raged between Bob Schwartzmiller, Bob Heim and Dave McManus. Heim took over the spot on lap 11. At this point Simmons had opened up a big lead and looked well on his way to winning the event. However he developed an intermittent miss and some wondered if he would make it to the finish. Simmons kept plugging away and it looked like he would make it, as long as there were no yellows. But the worst happened on lap 22 when the yellow waved and bunched the field up. The lap 22 yellow was the undoing for second running Heim, as he developed problems and had to pit. On the restart Simmons led McManus and Nick Kocuba for the green. On the last lap, McManus and Kocuba tangled on the front straight, setting up an overtime two lap dash to the checker. Simmons had another good restart and held off Schwartzmiller for the win. Following the front running pair was Steve Webb in third followed by Joey Koteles, Shawn Thorn, Curt Bish, Mike Mohn, Dave Slade, Josh Langer and Dave McManus. The heats were taken by Jake Simmons and Shawn Thorn.
The Brougher's Machine Shop Fastrak Late Models had Pittsburgh PA's Dan "The Greek" Karalagas pick up his first ever PPMS win. Karalagas, who had won his first ever feature just a week before at the Dog Hollow Speedway, used a pole starting spot to lead every lap of the main. Karalagas didn't have an easy time of it, as defending champ and five time winner Kyle Lukon shadowed him the entire race. At the finish it was Karalagas, Kyle Lukon, Laura Lukon (who ran a stellar race to finish a strong third), Mike Reft (making his first start of the season), Justin Lamb, Mark Moats Jr., Colton Flinner, Derek Stefanick, Dusty Curry and Nico Dabecco. The two heats saw Dan Karalagas and Mark Moats Jr. grab the wins. Terry Kerr flipped his #39 during the feature, but was OK.Martins Ferry OH's J.E. Stalder grabbed his second win of the season in the Miley RV Service UMP Modifieds. Vince Laboon took the lead at the start of the 12 lap main from his pole starting spot. Chris Basich took over on lap three and looked like he was well on his way to picking up the win. Stalder had other ideas though, as he worked his way thru the field from 7th, and moved into second on lap 7. He ran down Basich, and made his move coming off turn four on the last lap to get the win. Basich was a disappointing second, followed by Daryl Charlier, Clayton Kennedy, Kevin Miller, Vince Laboon, Chuck Kennedy, Tom Martineck, Brad Westover and George Nicola. The heats had J.E. Stalder and Daryl Charlier take victories.In the Miley BP Car Wash DIRTcar Hobby Stocks, saw McDonald PA's Brian Huchko grab his second win of the season over Eric Goldberg, John Chipps, Ricky Steigerwald, and Robby Torrens. Brian Huchko also won the heat.Trevor Gombach, Claridge PA picked up a career first win in the Imperial Heights Garage Young Guns, in only his second race. Gombach defeated Ricky Steigerwald, Daniel White, Joe Gombach III, Alec Broniszewski and Hannah Ramsey.
 
Coming up at PPMS in future weeks, on May 8 NAPA Parts Night, Wacky Wheels Figure 8's plus Motor Mama Prize Night. The May 15th show is the first UFo F-2 Shockwave vs ULMS DIRTcar Super Late Models twin 22 lap features, plus a regular show for the other classes.

Wet weather and poor forecast forces Eldora cancellation
By: Larry Boos
ROSSBURG, OH (April 24) - Just as the track crews were putting the finishing touches on the clay one-half mile clay oval in preparation for Saturday's race meet, another band of showers invaded the area. With the forecast for heavy rains and thunderstorms invading the area during the early evening hours, race officials cancelled the event to avoid travel costs for the competitors and fans.

The event was to have featured the non-winged Sprint Cars, Modifieds and Stock Cars. While the event will not be made up, the Stock Cars have suffered two rain-outs during this early season. As a result, they have been added to the Saturday night portion of the Outlaw Thunder by Goodyear weekend. They will now race both nights of that weekend (May 7 & 8), along with the travelling World of Outlaw Sprints. The UMP (United Midwestern Promoters) Modifieds will also race on Friday night.

Four Drivers Visit Victory Lane for the First Time Ever at Motordrome
By: Mike Lysakowski
(Smithton, PA) Six feature events in the NASCAR Whelen All American Series were contested during opening night 2010 at Motordrome Speedway on Friday, April 23, including "Twin 25's" for the NASCAR Subway Super Late Models. Four drivers earned career-first victories: Todd Price (NASCAR Subway Super Late Models), Scott Aiello (Napa Street Stocks), Kristen Etling (Pro Auto Supply Service Chargers), and Bill Schwartz (Coca Cola Super Compacts), while Neil Brown (NASCAR Subway Super Late Models) and Lonnie Hoffman (Wyotech Modifieds) continued their winning ways from 2009.The first of the"Twin 25's" program for the NASCAR Subway Super Late Models had Steve Black and Paul Urso starting on the front row. Black grabbed the lead, and instantly built a comfortable margin over the field. Chris Bailey, Jr. settled into second, and Urso was forced to hold off the leading winner of 2009, Neil Brown , for third. Brown started seventh, and took third position on lap nine, then grabbed second from young Bailey on lap ten. On lap 14, eleventh starting Bobby Henry advanced to third, as Black continued to have his best performance, despite damage from contact with Bailey. On lap 16, Brown ended Black's bid for his first victory in the division, by making the winning pass and cruising to the checkered flag in his R&M Trucking/O'Shea Lumber/Hunter's Peterbuilt/Davies Ford. Black earned a career best second place, with former Champ Henry finishing third, ninth starting Barry Awtey fourth, and defending Champion Mark Cottone finishing fifth in the caution-free event.Bailey started on the front row for the second 25-lap feature, by virtue of a top ten invert, and led the first four laps, over pole starter Cody Quarrick. Fourth place starter Todd Price spent the first four circuits in second place, before taking the lead on lap five. On lap six, sixth starting Cottone moved into second, and began to reel in Price. The division's only caution flag of the entire night, waved on lap 17, setting up a double-file restart, with Price inside and three-time Champ Cottone outside. Price was up to the challenge, and defended his lead by a car length, to put the Dave Mann owned "51 Motorsports" entry in NASCAR Subway Super Late Model victory lane for the first time ever. The Frankie Day Oldies Show/Stoystown Auto Wrecking/D&D Office Plus/Manns Home Medical Service Ford is a new car, for Price, who formerly earned victories in Limited Late Models and Truck division racing. Cottone was second, ahead of tenth starting Brown in third, Awtey fourth, and Mark Poole fifth. Poole and Awtey were the heat race winners.The biggest Motordrome story of the off-season was the parting five time Wyotech Modified Champion driver Adam Kostelnik and team owners Viglione Racing. Kostelnik's replacement in the potent #60 is dirt track stock car ace Pat Hanley, who made his first Modified start (and first paved-track start) on the pole position for the 25-lap feature. Hanley kept the defending Champion team at the head of the pack for ten laps in his debut, before seventh starting Lonnie Hoffman took the lead. Hoffman, who also switched from dirt stocks a few years prior, pressured the rookie for several laps before making the winning pass. A thrilling battle among four drivers for second through sixth positions captivated the crowd for much of the race. In that battle was Kostelnik, now driving the Howie Balis Motorsports #00. But, "The Hometown Hero," Hoffman, was not to be denied the victory, after winning his heat earlier in the night. Kostelnik started sixth and finished second in the feature after also winning a heat in his new ride, with his 2008-2009 rival Bobby Shipp finishing third in the main event after early race handling trouble. Chris Brink worked the high groove to a fourth place finish, and Hanley completed the top five.Veteran Jason Holder and rookie Matt Sever started on the front row for the 25-lap Napa Street Stock feature. Holder led the first four laps, before seventh-starting Scott Aiello marched into the top position. Aiello not only passed six cars in four laps, he immediately pulled away from the field in his fourth career start in the division. Dink Colarusso, the defending Champion and leading winner of 2009, started fifth and advanced to second on lap 10; then eighth starting Aaron Minjock advanced to third on lap 16. But, Aiello only increased his lead over the speedy veterans, in a shocking display of strength even after a late race caution flag when Colarusso spun after contact with Minjock. Behind the upset winner, Aiello, at the finish line was heat winner Minjock, ninth place starter Andrew Kostelnik in third place, and first-time starter Sever (who was the 2009 Super Compact Champion). Colarusso battled back to a fifth place finish. Aeillo also won his first career heat race.After racing to the front several times and leading many laps in 2009, only to fall heartbreakingly short of a first career win, Kristen Etling finally stood in victory lane, following the 15-lap Pro Auto Supply Service Charger feature. Etling won her heat, and started seventh in the feature, behind a collection of veteran winners, and stormed into the lead on lap eight. Ron Eifford, III led the first half of the event, after starting on the front row. Fourth starting Jimmy Christofel was officially scored in second position every lap of the event, and finished there, in spite of the lead change in front him. Denny Keller finished third, heat winner Zane Ferrell placed fourth, and former Champ Tracy Keller placed fifth.Bill Schwartz had the most dominating performance of the evening, as he obliterated the Coca Cola Super Compact field, leading 13 of the 15 laps, despite starting eleventh on the grid. The teenager, who's mother is now a Street Stock rookie, is in his third year of racing and took his first ever checkered flag over Eddie Livingston who started ninth, Eugene "The Hillbilly" Zerfoss, early race leader Paul Koffler, III, and first time heat race winner Mark Tringes, Jr., who placed fifth in the feature. Zerfoss won his heat, and Mary Catherine Shimko won her first career heat race.NAPA Street Stocks heat winners: Scotty Aiello, Aaron MinjockFeature:1. Scotty Aiello2. Aaron Minjock3.

Lucas Oil Late Models at the Bedford Speedway April 23, 2010

BEDFORD, PA (April 23, 2010) - Jimmy Owens of Newport, TN scored his second straight Lucas Oil Model Dirt Series victory winning Friday Night's Bedford Valley Petroleum $10,000 to win event at Bedford Speedway. Owens took the lead on lap 13 from Will Vaught and managed to hold off Brian Birkhofer in the waning laps to take the victory. Birkhofer of Muscatine, IA finished second followed by Vaught of Crane, MO; Earl Pearson Jr. of Jacksonville, FL; and Jonathan Davenport of Blairsville, GA. With the win Owens closed to within five points of series leader, Scott Bloomquist of Mooresburg, TN; who finished eleventh.Owens and Vaught made up the front row for the 50 lap main event with Vaught taking the lead at the start of the race with Owens and Birkhofer trailing. Vaught was racing at Bedford for the first time in his career. Vaught began to enter traffic by lap ten and Owens closed right on his bumper.Vaught held the lead by two car lengths over Owens, as the top five remained the same for the first 12 laps of the race. Vaught relinquished the lead to Owens on lap 13 as Vaught fell to second with Birkhofer still running third followed by Davenport and Pearson. With twenty laps in the books, Owens held a three-car length lead as Vaught and Birkhofer stayed close to Owens. By the halfway mark, the top ten cars were all on the straightaway as Owens tried to pass Dan Schlieper, who was the last car on the lead lap.Birkhofer made the decision that it was time to make a pass on the second place running Vaught as the two came off of turn four on lap 34. Birkhofer then began to give Owens a run for the lead. Pearson got by Davenport with ten laps to go to take fourth, but all eyes were up front to see if Birkhofer was going to be able to pass Owens and with less than five laps to go. Birkhofer put himself in a position to do so and with two circuits to go Birkhofer took a stab at Owens in turn 2, but had to back out of the gas, allowing Owens to get away.Owens went on to lead the final two laps unchallenged to score his 15th career Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series win and his first at Bedford Speedway in the Mike Reece owned, Reece Monument Company, Gantte Appraisals, Red Line Oil, Hoosier Tires, VP Racing Fuels, Byrd's Radiator, C&C Trucking and Ohlins Shocks.In Lucas Oil Victory Lane for the second consecutive series event after his dominating win at Brownstown (IN) Speedway last month. Owens complimented his crew for making the right tire choice. "I have to thank my crew chief Chris Fox for choosing the right tires again tonight, the car was just perfect from the get go, we set fast time, won the heat and once the track got one-lane we knew it would be tough for anybody to pass us, Will (Vaught) got a good jump on us at the start and he drove a heck of a good race tonight, but fortunately for us we were able to get by him and then passing became difficult, the track was fast all night, it was a shame it rubbered up like that, but we'll take the win and head to Hagerstown."With the win, Owens, who trailed defending series champion Scott Bloomquist by 90 points heading into the event, earned the maximum points for the night to close within five of Bloomquist, who was fortunate to finish eleventh after blowing a tire at the finish line.Birkhofer in his J&J Steel/Pro Power Racing Engines/MB Customs Monte Carlo SS finished second in his first Lucas Oil Series start of 2010. Vaught in the Paul McKenna owned/Mark Martin Chevrolet/Warrior Corvette finished third, marking his best ever finish with the series. Completing the top five were Pearson in the Bobby Labonte Racing/Lucas Oil Products/MasterSbilt Dodge Charger and Davenport in the Mega Plumbing of the Carolinas/Clements Racing Engines/Barry Wright Race Cars entry.The remainder of the top ten were Steve Shaver of Vienna, WV; Jimmy Mars of Menomonie, WI; Jeremy Miller of Gettysburg, PA; Jason Feger of Bloomington, IL; and Chris Wall of Holden, LA.

Paul Wilmoth Tops UFo Tyler Topless 51
By: Rich Berry
Middlebourne, WV (April 17) - Paul Wilmoth from Clarksburg, WV took the lead on lap 20 and held it the rest of the distance in winning the Annual Topless 51 at Tyler County Speedway, sanctioned by the UFo Race Championship. He earned $5,000 for his efforts.A field of 28 entries was divided into three qualifying heats, of 14 laps in distance. The top five finishers earned feature berths, with four of them going to the redraw. Heat 1 was won by Paul Wilmoth, from third starting spot. Eddie Carrier, Jr. was the winner of Heat 2, after starting second. Robbie Scott won Heat 3 from position 3. Jared Hawkins won the B-Main from tenth starting spot to set the feature starting grid.In the redraw for starting positions, first heat winner Wilmoth drew for all 12 redraw drivers. The redraw results put Gary Dalton and Chad McClellan on the front row for the annual Topless 51 main event. At the drop of the green flag, the two front row starters ran the first lap side-by-side with McClellan led the first lap, before Dalton nosed ahead. Third starting Doug Horton moved to second behind Dalton, before the first of just three caution periods in the 51-lap race appeared on lap 3.Dalton had lane choice for the double file restart, and chose the inside lane. When the green flag waved, Horton used the outside to take over the race lead. Dalton settled into second with Paul Wilmoth riding third. The top three pulled away from the competition, leaving a host of drivers to battle for fourth. The race for the lead got intense when the leaders hit traffic on lap 12. Dalton got a run at Horton in traffic, and made the pass for the lead on lap 14. The lead battle remained hot, and on lap 16 the top three passed the line three wide with Wilmoth advancing to second.The exciting battle for the lead was interrupted by a lap 19 caution period, when John Mollick rolled to a stop in turn four. Race leader Dalton again had lane choice, and again chose inside despite it not working for him on the first restart. Again, when racing resumed he would get beat by the outside line as Wilmoth took over the race lead. At the halfway mark, it was Wilmoth leading Dalton, Horton, and 16th starting Jared Hawkins. Eddie Carrier, Jr. had just taken fifth place from 13th starting Zack Dohm.Carrier passed Hawkins for fourth place on lap 28, and continued his charge forward. On lap 30, he passed Horton to take over third. The leaders were again hitting race traffic, and the lead battle flared up again. Dalton got along side Wilmoth on lap 32, but could not pull off the pass. Lap 34 would see the final caution period of the race, and it would change the complexion of the race entirely.Working lap 34, second running Dalton's car appeared to briefly slow between turns three and four. Carrier was close behind, and the two cars would tangle to bring out the yellow flag. After coasting to the infield, Dalton restarted his car but eventually retired. Carrier restarted, but had to go to the tail after advancing from 12th to battle for the lead.The new running order with 17 laps to go had Wilmoth leading Horton, Hawkins, Dohm, and Robbie Scott who had slowly inched forward after starting 11th. Wilmoth chose the outside lane and took a lead that he would not relinquish the rest of the way, and he pulled away over the remaining distance. Second place was hotly contested to the finish, as Horton felt a challenge from Scott at lap 39. Scott took the spot on lap 42, and 19th starting Jared Miley passed Horton for third on lap 43. The three cars battled for second at lap 47, but Scott and Miley would settle the battle themselves on the final lap. Though Miley would nose ahead on the white flag lap, Scott held off Miley for runner-up honors.At the checkered flag it was Paul Wilmoth getting the win in his MidcapLand and Timber, NAPA, Adkins Timber, Chevy powered Rocket. Robbie Scott was second by a nose from 11th starting spot in his Atlas Auto Parts, Rocket Chassis, Hoosier Racing Tire, Slavic Group, Cornett built Ford powered Rocket. Jared Miley's run from 19th to third was impressive in his Colussy Chevrolet, Brougher's Machine Shop, Hoosier Tire Mid-Atlantic, Sunoco Race Fuels, Chevy powered Rocket. In gaining 16 positions in the feature, Miley earned the Pass-Maximum award, presented by Bernheisel Race Components and Lazer Chassis. Doug Horton was fourth in his Bobby Lake Motorsports, D&M Truck Repair, 5 Corners Auto Sales, Edge Racing Engine Chevy powered Warrior Chassis. Fifth went to Eddie Carrier, Jr. in his Engines Inc., Grover Motorsports, Grover Race Engines built Ford powered Rocket. Jared Hawkins, Doug Eck, Zack Dohm, Steve Weigle, and Jason DuPont rounded out the top ten.Keith Barbara leads the UFo Race Championship point standings, by three points over Jared Miley. Chad McClellan is third in points, three behind Miley. Five points back in fourth is John Mollick. One point behind Mollick is Denton Boyer in fifth, with Doug Eck one point behind him. Then it is four points back to Greg Oakes in seventh, and two points back to John Garvin in eighth. Paul Wilmoth and Mike Knight are tied for ninth in points, as the Series champion will tentatively earn $5000.The scheduled event for Saturday, April 16 at Midway Speedway was canceled by rain.
