Two premier divisions of dirt track racing will share the spotlight at the Grandview Speedway on Tuesday night, when NAPA Auto Parts present the 100th Thunder on the Hill event. It's only fitting that the 410 sprints and 358 modifieds come together for this spectacular double-header celebrating the long and successful history of Thunder on the Hill at the Grandview Speedway.

Many give aways are planned including Thunder on the Hill water bottles along with several surprises including t-shirts from Vertical Telephone Systems and Lee Myles Transmissions. Of course, Joe the Pizza Dude will greet fans in his usual run through the grandstands.

The 410 sprints will compete in time trials, heat race qualifying and a 35 lap feature event as the 358 modifieds battle in a series of heat races, a consolation and a 25 lap feature.

Brian Leppo won the May Keystone Cup 410 sprint series event on the hill, holding off a determined Fast Freddie Rahmer. Lance Dewease, Greg Hodnett, Stevie Smith, Daryn Pittman and Mark Smith are some of the heavy hitters expected in the sprint car roster.

NEXT USAC MOPAR NATIONAL MIDGET RACE: July 1 – Toledo (OH) Speedway

by Dick Jordan

INDIANAPOLIS -- Jerry Coons Jr. of Tucson, Ariz. leads the Traxxas USAC Silver Crown Championship Series to Iowa Speedway in Newton, Iowa this Friday for the “Casey’s General Stores USAC Triple Crown 100” presented by Pioneer Hi-Bred First Class Credit Union & Boyer Petroleum.

Coons emerged as the series point leader after finishing second to Bobby East in last Saturday’s 100-miler at the Milwaukee Mile at Wisconsin State Fair Park. He is 21 points ahead of three drivers tied for second in the standings, Tanner Swanson, Bud Kaeding and defending series champ Levi Jones.

East, of Brownsburg, Ind., left fans with a memorable performance Saturday after coming from the back of the field on a restart at lap 35 to mow down the field in the Milwaukee 100 and claim the victory in his Joe Gibbs Racing Oil Beast/Ford. East led the first 20 laps but was moved back two positions for jumping the original start. Shortly thereafter he was moved to the rear of the field for another infraction and then the fireworks started in the form of his charge to the front.

Tanner Swanson led the restart at lap 21 but East climbed to the “top-10” by lap 38. He was ninth on lap 39, eighth on lap 41, seventh on lap 43 and sixth on lap 46. At half-way he moved to fifth, then took fourth one lap later. He passed Jerry Coons Jr. for third on lap 56 and caught runner-up Kyle Larson on lap 68 for second.

Pole winner Larson spun bringing out the yellow flag for a restart and on lap 75 East passed Swanson for the lead. At the checkered flag he was nearly a half-lap ahead of Coons, who passed Swanson on lap 98. Swanson was third, ahead of Bobby Santos III and Jacob Wilson.

A.J. Fike of Galesburg, Ill., who was 19th at Milwaukee after a tangle with Tracy Hines on the 25th lap of that race, is the defending Iowa Speedway Silver Crown race winner, but Kaeding has proven that he enjoys the Hawkeye state as well, winning a pair of AMSOIL USAC Sprint races at Knoxville and Oskaloosa last year.

Bobby Santos III, who finished second in both the Milwaukee Mopar National Midget and Traxxas Silver Crown races Saturday, won last year’s Iowa Speedway Midget race. The Mopar National Midgets are again on this Friday’s schedule at the 7/8-mile paved oval.

East holds the one-lap Iowa Speedway Silver Crown qualifying record at 143.000 mph, set last year, while Dave Steele, who has returned to the series for this year’s pavement races and will compete Friday, holds the 100-mile Iowa race record of 104.223 mph set in 2006.

Friday’s Iowa Speedway races are being held in conjunction with this weekend’s Iowa Corn Indy 250 IZOD Indycar Series race, scheduled for 8 pm Saturday. The USAC feature events are slated to begin at 8:30 pm Friday. Two 25-lap segments will comprise the 50-lap Mopar USAC National Midget race.

BRIDGEPORT, NJ - With big money on the line, racers from across the area are planning to attend this year’s George Wingate Classic – Modified Madness at Bridgeport Speedway on Thursday, June 16. Following qualifying events, 25-lap features for the Big Block Modifieds and Bridgeport Modifieds will share the spotlight for this year’s Wingate Classic honoring the late Bridgeport Speedway promoter.

Former Bridgeport Speedway Big Block Modified champions such as Jimmy Horton, Duane Howard, Mike Iles and Billy Pauch, Sr. have already made a commitment to attend the race and will be going after the winner’s check of $3000. Rick Laubach, Ryan Watt, Richie Pratt, Jr., Jesse Hill, Matt Harrell, Mike Barone, Neal Williams, Craig Von Dohren, Jimmy Blewett, Brian Kressley, Butch Tittle, Chad James, Ron Roberts, Rusty Smith, Mike Franz, Billy Pauch, Jr and Joseph Watson are just a few of the additional stars planning to compete for the hefty first place prize.

The winner of the Bridgeport Modified main event will take home $2500 in cash plus a Dewalt tool package donated from Home Depot worth $550. Travis Hill, Brett Kressley, Brett Ballard, Jordan Watson and Neal Williams are just a few of the drivers that will try to defend their home turf against a host of invaders including Jim Houseworth, Chris Hitchens, Scott Baker and Matt Hawkins.

For this special event, any track stamped American Racer tire 44 or 48 on the right rear is eligible to be used. Unaltered GM 602 engines, 604 engines with a Bridgeport Speedway supplied restrictor plate and 347JR Ford motors with a Bridgeport Speedway supplied restrictor plate will be allowed to compete in the Bridgeport Modified race.
