Swedesboro, NJ (May 26, 2012) – On Bridgeport Speedway’s quarter mile oval, Lee Nardelli notched two wins. Nardelli won the 600cc Micro-Sprint feature after taking the 270cc Micro-Sprint main event. Scott Dunn was victorious in the 4-Cylinder Enduro Car race.
Lee Nardelli
At the beginning of the 20-lap 600cc Micro-Sprint feature, Jermain Godshall jumped to the front with Dave Carlberg and Lee Nardelli in tow. With plenty of passing in the opening circuits, Nardelli was up to second in three laps. Shane Lewis was on the move as well and he climbed into third with four tours completed. Nardelli and Lewis were engaged in a battle for the runner-up spot when the red flag waved on lap 7 due to a multi-car accident. On the ensuing restart, Nardelli outgunned Godshall to take the lead. Also on lap 8, a slowing Scott Harbison caused the final caution period of the event. When action got back underway, Nardelli was still in front with Lewis advancing by Godshall for second. At the halfway point, Richie Keller, who started the race in the fourteenth, was continuing his charge to the front as he motored past Godshall for third place. By lap 14, the top three of Nardelli, Lewis, and Keller were in close quarters. As the final circuits clicked off, the lead pack was approaching slower cars. On the last circuit in lap traffic, Nardelli held off Lewis and Keller for the victory. Jeff Hartman finished in fourth after starting the race in twelfth. Bill Thomas came home in fifth. The heat race winners in the 600cc Micro-Sprint class were Steve Bracall, Shane Lewis and Jermain Godshall.
Lee Nardelli
In the non-stop 20-lap 270cc Micro-Sprint feature, Lee Nardelli led from start to finish in gaining the victory. Justin Stillwagon applied heavy pressure in the final laps but had to settle for second place. Jeff Hartman, Richie Keller, and Charlie Lamanna completed the top five. Jeff Hartman and Charlie Lamanna were victors in the 270cc Micro-Sprint qualifying races.
Scott Dunn racked up his first win of the year by holding off one of his sons in the final circuits of the 20-lap contest for the 4-Cylinder Enduro Cars. Justin Dunn could not pass his dad in the late moments of the race and wound up in second. Robbie Dunn, John Gray, and Art Knapp rounded out the top five.

World of Outlaws
‘The King’ ties Swindell for the World of Outlaws championship points lead

MIDDLETOWN, N.Y. — May 19, 2012 — Like they did in the ‘70s and ‘80s and ‘90s, Steve Kinser and Sammy Swindell are battling for a World of Outlaws championship.
Swindell, who leads the series with four victories, has been in or around the points lead since the start of the season. Kinser has gotten hot recently and capitalized on the momentum.
He snapped a 27-race winless streak exactly a week ago and added to an impressive record on Saturday at Orange County Fair Speedway, where Kinser won for the sixth time in 22 features, claimed career Outlaws victory No. 572 and pulled into a tie atop the World of Outlaws championship standings with Swindell.
“It’s nothing that hasn’t happened many years before,” Kinser said of his renewed rivalry with Swindell.
Kinser led all 25 laps of the main event at the 5/8-mile oval, which has featured a different winner in the past six World of Outlaws events dating back to 1999. However, Kinser is a familiar face in Victory Lane.
He claimed the first race at Orange County Fair Speedway in 1983 and won five more within a decade. After starting on the pole on Saturday, it appeared that his sixth victory – which is twice as many as any other driver – was eminent.
Kinser rocketed to a 10-car advantage in front of son, Kraig Kinser, on the opening lap. The duo paced the field with Kraig beginning to close the gap on lap five. They entered traffic on the ninth lap and were side by side on the frontstretch of lap 10.
The elder maintained the lead and the preferred lane around the bottom. The race went cautionless until lap 21 when it became just the opposite.
There were eight cautions and a red flag for a fuel stop in the final five laps. In fact, only three drivers of the 24 starters weren’t involved in a caution or didn’t pull into the pits.
“I was up front where I could be a little bit easier on tires,” Kinser said. “I nursed mine as much as I could. We just barely made it ourselves.
“It’s a bad feeling when you’re sitting there leading the race and you’re seeing half the field change tires and put new tires on ….”
Kraig Kinser was one of the catastrophes as a tire issue on the final lap dropped him from the runner-up position to 15th. That allowed Swindell to gain a few positions in the final laps to salvage a second-place finish and keep himself tied for the points lead.
“When we took off I could see that guys were just slipping the tires way too much,” Swindell said. “This place is real abrasive, so I just sat back there and rode for half the race. I just wanted to make sure I had tires at the end.”
Frank Cozze earned the KSE Hard Charger Award after maneuvering from last – 24th – to place third.
“Well we got a little bit of luck out there with the guys with the tires,” he said. “Plus I’ve probably raced here about 35 or 36 years, so I kinda know the place. You’ve gotta kind of cool it at the beginning and get lucky. And we got lucky. If it had run straight through we would have run 15th.
“It feels pretty good to get a podium finish with anybody. I don’t care if it was Mickey Mouse at this point.”
Daryn Pittman rebounded from causing a caution on a restart of lap 22 because of a tire issue. He restarted 19th and finished fourth. David Gravel rounded out the top five after facing a similar fate because of a flat tire with three laps remaining.
Joey Saldana was sixth, Fred Rahmer seventh, Paul McMahan eighth, Craig Dollansky ninth and Lucas Wolfe placed 10th. All went to the work area at some point during those final five laps to fix a flat tire.
Logan Schuchart set fast time in qualifying with a lap of 17.336 seconds, which was more than four-tenths quicker than anyone else. Swindell outlasted Steve Kinser to win the first heat race and Kraig Kinser and McMahan also claimed a heat race. Davey Franek won the Last Chance Showdown.

MAURIELLO AND MANDATO WIN WALL STADIUM SPORTSMAN TWINS
Posted by: | Comments
Wall Stadium
WALL TOWNSHIP, N.J. ~ Young stock car racing stars Eric Mauriello of Howell and Jonathan Mandato of Jackson shared top honors at Wall Stadium Saturday night as each tasted victory in Sportsman division 25 lap main events. While it was Mauriello’s eighth career win and his second on the young season, Mandato’s victory was his first ever win in full size stock car competition.
In the first 25-lapper Charlie Kremer III of Toms River raced to the lead early as Mauriello started his run from sixth. By halfway Mauriello was the runner-up and immediately looked for a path into the lead. Mauriello’s winning move came with 18 laps complete as he drove to the outside lane and into the lead. Mauriello raced on to the win with Kremer second, Holmdel’s Andrew Krause third, Shawna Ingraham of Brick fourth and Howell’s Elliott Wohl fifth.
“It was hard getting around the No. 77 in the high groove tonight,” Mauriello said. “It was real slick out there so I need the car to be perfect. Tonight it was perfect.”
In the second Sportsman 25-lapper Mandato raced to the lead early and never looked back. Brick’s Robert Sutphin was his early challenger before Wohl took over runner-up honors in the late going. Ingraham, Willingboro’s Trevor Alspach and Krause completed the top five. Mauriello was out of this race early has his car hammered the fourth turn rail on lap 12. He was not injured.
“This car was wrecked pretty badly a couple of weeks ago,” Mandato, a former Quarter Midget racer, said. “Thanks to my family and crew it is perfect again. What has been a pretty bad season so far just got a lot better.”
Scott Riggleman of Manchester scored his second win of the young season in the 25-lapper for the Factory Stocks. Riggleman chased early leader Ed Bischoff of Howell before racing into the lead with just three laps to go. Bischoff crossed the finish line second, but failed a post race inspection. That moved Lakewood’s Paul Hartwig to second, while Brick’s Ronnie Mullen and Troy Gant were third and fourth and Andrew Krause was fifth.
Jackson’s Howie Conk raced into the lead on the ninth lap and went on to win the 25-lapper for the Street Stocks. It was the third win of the season for the defending division champion. Nick Shaw of Chatham, Bayville’s Mike Tillett, Jerry Stanzione of Keansburg and Jack Saygh of South Toms River wrapped up the top five. The race was stopped on lap seven when Holmdel’s Dominic Casola spun across the track and slammed a concrete barrier in the infield. Although the damage to his car was severe, he complained only about a sore foot.
Ryan Tidman of Levittown, Pa. took the lead on the eighth lap and raced on to win the 25-lapper for the touring TQ Midgets. Jon Gambuti of Allison Cummins, Buddy Sloed and Matt Roselli completed the top five finishers.
Wall Stadium roars back into action this Saturday night (May 26) with the Factory Stocks in the Memorial Day weekend spotlight in a 50-lap main event. The Modifieds will return for a 40-lap main event, while the Legend Cars and Street Stocks will also see action. The restored vintage racecars of the Garden State Vintage Stock Car Club will also be on hand. The Sportsman cars have the night off.
Pit gates will open at 2:00 p.m.; with practice starting at 3:30 p.m. Grandstands will open at 5:00 p.m. and the first qualifying event takes the green flag at 6:00 p.m. Main events are scheduled for 7:00 p.m.

Dewease Scores For 80th Williams Grove Win, Westhafer For 1st In 358s
Posted by: | Comments
Williams Grove Speedway
Mechanicsburg, PA –Lance Dewease of Fayetteville won for the 80th time in his sprint car career at Williams Grove Speedway on Friday night, taking the lead from Sheldon Haudenschild at the halfway point to pocket the victory in the Lawrence Chevrolet 410 sprint car division.
In the Tool Shed of America 358 sprints, Rodney Westhafer won at the oval for the first time in his career.
Dewease started sixth in the 25-lap 410 sprint main event while 18-year old Haudenschild started on the pole.
Haudenshild was smooth and straight, pounding the high cushion once he got going but saw his pace halted with six away when Cliff Brian flipped on the backstretch.
Curt Michael trailed Haudenshild for the restart with Dewease up to third.
Dewease disposed of Michael on the restart and pressured Haudenschild but the leader seemed unphazed by his attempts and instead pulled away from his challenger.
But his pace was again slowed with 12 away, this time for a blown left front on Rick Lafferty’s mount.
Dewease ducked low under Haudenschild for control when action resumed but Haudenschild didn’t give up easily, instead re-passing Dewease as the pair traversed the backstretch before Dewease dove low in turn three to take the lead for good.
Though Haudenschild hung tough for several laps, he had settled into second when the race slowed for a final time with seven laps left, this time for a blown left rear on Brent Marks’ machine.
Haudenschild proved to be a player all the way to the finish as Dewease jetted away at the new green with Fred Rahmer third, Danny Dietrich in fourth and Brian Moneith in fifth.
Rahmer relegated Haudenschild to third with five to go and a three-car battle for third developed all the way to the finish that saw the checkers and red flag fly simultaneously.
It was Dietrich who was challenging for third just after the white flag that got out of shape while trying to fend off a rebound by Haudenschild.
And as the pair crossed under the backstretch bridge, Dietrich got on the binders to avoid crashing which in turn sent Brian Montieth up over his tail tank and into a flip.
Rahmer ended up second followed by Haudenschild, Greg Hodnett and Michael.
Sixth through 10th went to 22nd starter Doug Esh, Aaron Ott, Alan Krimes, Logan Schuchart and Chad Layton.
Heats for the 31-car field went to Montieth, Michael and Dewease with Lafferty scoring the consolation race.
Westhafer started second in the 20-lap 358 sprint main and wired the field for the win, his first ever at Williams Grove.
He had to fend off the challenges of seventh starter Eric Tomecek over the final 10 laps as the Abbottstown speedster pressured after zooming up to second by the third circuit.
It was after Westhafer had encountered the rear of the field that Tomecek was really able to close but Westhafer played it smart in traffic to hold onto his win.
Brie Hershey came on in traffic late to sneak into second with Tomecek ending up third.
Jacob Allen was fourth and Amy Ott rounded out the top five.
Sixth through 10th went to Dale Hammaker, Adrian Shaffer, Pat Cannon, Nathan Berwager and Nate Hammaker.
Heats went to Cannon, Ott and Tomecek.
