NASCAR STOCK CAR RACING FEATURES AT GRANDVIEW GO TO HOWARD, SHUEY AND HENN ON SATURDAY NIGHT

BECHTELSVILLE, PA. May 1, 2016 . . . Racing action was fan pleasing wild and furious at the “fast” 1/3-mile high banks of Grandview Speedway on Saturday night.

Duane Howard survived the numerous skirmishes to become the first repeat winner in the T.P. Trailers NASCAR 358 Modified All-American Racing Series 30-Lap feature. “We were driving like a bunch of animals and there wasn’t one car that wasn’t bent,” commented Howard in victory lane. He also garnered $250 from T.P. Trailers.

Late Model action also had a two-time season winner as Brian Shuey scored his second BRC 25-Lap feature victory in the Scott and Sue Lee-owned No. 177. He also received $100 from T.P. Trailers and the Dan’s Deli ½-way hoagie award.

Jordan Henn, who has been close on numerous occasions to winning a 25-Lap NASCAR Sportsman feature, finally was able to put the “Moose” Eisenhard No. 77 in the winner’s circle by a narrow margin over runner-up and last week’s feature winner Mike Lisowski to claim a well-deserved first career win. He also was awarded the T.P. Trailers $100 bonus and the Dan’s Deli ½-way Hoagie award.

VP Racing Fuels product awards went to the top finishing racers in each division that used their racing gasoline and carried the proper decals and patches.

NASCAR stock car racing action returns to Grandview Speedway on Saturday, May 7th at 7:30 p.m. when the T.P.Trailers NASCAR 358 Modifieds, BRC Late Models and Sportsman stock cars are in action. Spectator gates open at 5:30 p.m. The weekly Meet and Greet featuring three different drivers and their race cars each Saturday takes place at the main gate at 5:30 p.m. Adult admission is just $15 while youngsters under 12 are admitted FREE.

The Modified feature took three tries to complete one lap in which seven cars were eliminated in the multiple incidents.

When the first lap was recorded Ron Haring Jr. was the early pacesetter followed by Chris Gambler, Ray Swinehart, Tim Buckwalter and Jared Umbenhauer.

Swinehart, who almost rolled his car on one of the many early cautions never losing a position, charged past Haring Jr. on the second lap multi-car caution to become the new leader.

Buckwalter overtook second on the third lap to challenge the veteran leader. He made several bids to pass him, but to no avail as the door was shut on him as Swinehart protected his lead. Advancing to third from his 16th starting spot was 10-time point champion and the point leader going into the feature, Jeff Strunk who was gaining ground on the pair.

Lapped traffic moved into the picture by the half-way mark and by now Strunk was second challenging Swinehart for first.

The lead changed for the third time on the 1th lap when Strunk put the Glenn Hyneman-owned No. 126 into first.

Strunk’s lead was short-lived as mechanical issues sidelined him on the 20th lap which also caused him to drop in the standings giving the lead back to Swinehart.

While Swinehart and Buckwalter diced for first, this allowed Howard, behind the wheel of the Petruska-owned Atlas Paving No. 66 to gain ground on them.

It wasn’t long before a five-car battle brewed between Swinehart, Buckwalter, Howard, Umbenhauer and Craig VonDohren as they all built momentum coming out of the fourth turn.

Howard got a strong run coming off the turns and stormed past Buckwalter and then Swinehart to take charge of the top spot on the 24th circuit.

Jeremy Banos stopped in the second turn with a flat tire unable to pull into the infield bringing out the caution on the 26th lap. Howard held his ground on the restart while Swinehart and VonDohren battled for second with Buckwalter and Umbenhauer waiting in the wings for something to happen.

Something did occur when Swinehart and VonDohren headed into the first turn. Contact was made, Swinehart went around and VonDohren continued with the yellow out on the 28th lap. Umbenhauer barely squeezed by as he made contact and the innocent victim was Ryan Grim being through for the night along with Swinehart. It was still Howard first when action resumed with VonDohren trying to unseat him.

Despite a one-lap shoot-out set up when Danny Erb and Mike Kellner tangled in the fourth turn, Howard went on to chalk up his 70th career win trailed by defending point champion Von Dohren. Finishing third and fourth for their season best outings were Buckwalter and Umbenhauer with Mike Gular, fifth. Sixth through tenth were Doug Manmiller, John Willman, Billy Pauch Jr., Don Norris Jr. and Brian Houseknecht.

Ray Swinehart, Brett Kressley and Steve Swinehart won the heats. The consi went to Chris Esposito.

Drew Weisser was the early leader of the Late Model feature and he held onto that spot until Shuey dove underneath him coming out of the fourth turn on the eighth lap. Weisser didn’t surrender easily as he made several attempts to regain first.

In a matter of time Shuey had a comfortable lead built up and was running up on lap traffic.

The yellow was thrown for Ron Kline when he was stopped in the second turn with a flat tire on the 21st lap. At the same time Weisser relinquished second and pulled into the infield out of competition. Shuey pulled away quickly with Cory Merkel now second giving him a run for the money.

Shuey managed to keep C. Merkel behind him, “not knowing he was there,” and went on to score another win. Following them across were Lou Egrie Jr., Dan Green and Bill Henning. Rounding out the top ten were Lou Egrie, Randy Stoudt, making a rare appearance; Wayne Pfeil, Dave Ogin and Sean Merkel. Chuck Schutz, last week’s winner and defending point champion dropped out early in the event finishing a disappointing 17th.

Bryon Sipe and Weisser were the heat winners.

Rookie Andrew Kreis was the early pacesetter on the Sportsman feature.

The red was thrown on the fourth lap when cars went three-wide in the second turn and found themselves out of racing room. As a result Jim Housworth, who scored his first career victory recently, hit the wall, got turned into traffic and flipped along the backstretch with others involved as they all scattered. All drivers involved were uninjured, with Housworth’s car sustaining heavy damage.

On the restart Mark Kemmerer grabbed the lead trailed by Kreis, another rookie Ryan Higgs along with Henn and Jack Butler, another rookie.

Ken Eckert Jr. brought out the yellow on lap seven as he stopped in the turn one infield at a dangerous spot. The restart was void for a multi-car first turn tangle. On this restart Henn powered into first as Kemmerer seemed to be experiencing problems since he started to fall off the pace loosing several positions.

Challenges for Henn came in the form of Higgs, Kreis, Dean Bachman and Butler with Lisowski, last week’s winner, soon joining the thick of the battle.

Lisowski advanced to second on the 19th lap and set his sights on Henn who had a slight edge built up.

With two laps to go Higgs, who was running a solid third, hit the fourth turn infield marker tire putting him out of contention with the yellow out. Henn was still the leader on the restart with Lisowski giving him no room to error.

It was a drag race to the checkered between Henn and Lisowski, but Henn hung on for the win. Third went to Brett Gilmore followed by Brad Brightbill and Bachman. Completing the top ten were Joe Funk III, Kreis, Butler, Brad Grim and Brian Papiez.

Higgs, Ryan Lilick, Butler and Lisowski were the heat winners. Consies went to Ken Eckert Jr. and Brad Brightbill.

COZZE, SCHUTZ, LISOWSKI, PECK AND SMITH GARNISH FEATURE VICTORIES AT GRANDVIEW SATURDAY NIGHT

BECHTELSVILLE, PA. April 24, 2016 – Nine features have been run at Grandview Speedway since the 2016 April opener and thus far it has produced nine different winners in the three regularly scheduled NASCAR divisions.

Frank Cozze, in his second season behind the wheel of the Tom Umbenhauer-owned/Harry’s U-Pull It sponsored mount now sporting the No. 4, was MIA last week attending his daughter’s wedding. He returned this week and started the evening off right by winning the second heat. He then led the T.P. Trailers NASCAR 358 Modified All-American Racing Series 30-Lap feature from start to finish and one-hour prior to winning the event he learned his son and daughter-in-law made him a grandfather. The 60-year old Wind Gap veteran, who hasn’t won since July 2013, didn’t have an easy task in scoring his second Grandview victory. He dealt with lapped cars, three-wide racing with Kenny Gilmore and eventual runner-up Rick Laubach. “The track was tricky tonight because it was slippery and I didn’t want to make any stupid mistakes with the lap cars commented the elated winner and this win really helped the team.”

Defending late model champion Chuck Schutz and the Ty Zeigler-owned team really worked hard the past week to repair the No. ONE car that suffered significant damage the week before in the feature and arrived late to the track as they were putting the finishing touches on the car. Things finally went better for the seven-time champ as he turned crash into cash this week to score his first win of the season in the BRC NASCAR 25-Lap Late Model feature. He couldn’t thank everyone enough for all their efforts.

Sportsman action proved that it isn’t over until it’s over. After Craig Whitmoyer, at the head of the pack, and Mike Lisowski, glued to his bumper trying to regain control went into the first turn after taking the one to go signal, Whitmoyer bobbled a bit. Lisowski quickly took advantage of the situation and took back the lead. Lisowski went on to score his first win of the year.

Cozze, Schutz and Lisowski received monetary awards from T.P. Trailers, Limerick and the Dan’s Deli ½-way hoagie certificate. The Loot For Lap 6 from Gramia’s Restaurant, Boyertown, went to Cozze, Schutz and Brandon Whitmoyer. The Cargo Trailers certificate recipients were Ryan Watt, Modifieds; Corey Merkel, Late Models and Jordan Henn, Sportsman.

On the initial green of the Modified feature, Cozze shot from second and past Bobby Gunther-Walsh to become the early pacesetter.

A homestretch tangle between Brett Kressley and John Willman brought out the first yellow on lap six with Kressley going off on the hook and Willman continued only to drop out later. Cozze held the top spot on the restart while Kenny Gilmore, Rick Laubach, Gunther-Walsh and Kevin Hirthler jockeyed for positions. Anticipating a slip-up so they could advance were Ryan Grim and Jeff Strunk.

By the 16th lap the front runners approached a gaggle of lap cars and had to thread the needle carefully to get by because some didn’t heed the mover-over flag.

The final caution was on the 24th lap when Eric Biehn slowed his pace and was unable to get into the infield quickly enough. As the yellow unfurled Strunk hit the first turn uke tire knocking it onto the track, but didn’t get penalized since it was after the yellow was thrown.

The battle for the lead went three-wide on the restart between Cozze, Gilmore and Laubach with neither one lifting while Grim and Strunk waited for something to happen.

Cozze held off all the competition and went on to claim his second career Grandview win. Grabbing second at the line was Laubach trailed by Gilmore, Grim and Strunk. First through fourth all posted their season best finishes. Jared Umbenhauer, Craig Von Dohren, Hirthler, Duane Howard and Ryan Watt completed the top ten.

Heats winners were Danny Erb, Cozze and Gunther-Walsh. Meme DeSantis won the consi.

Dan Green led four laps of the Late Model feature before Schutz put the Pioneer Pole Building special in first.

Cory Merkel, who was running a solid fourth spun in the fourth turn for the fifth lap caution. Schutz had just moved into first and resumed the position on the restart with Green and Lou Egrie Jr. trying to change the status.

Behind Schutz the action for second was hot and heavy between Green, Egrie Jr., Drew Weisser and Ron Kline with neither one about to give in.

Weisser was in the backstretch wall on the 15th lap after Dave Ogin and he tangled. Ogin continued not losing any spots. Schutz resumed the top spot on the restart while Green, Egrie Jr., Kline and Ogin diced for second through fifth. Soon joining the thick of the battle was opening night feature winner Sean Merkel.

Positions behind Schutz may have constantly been changing, but he never looked back and went on to claim his 41st career win. Finishing second for his season best performance was Green followed by Ogin, S. Merkel and Kline. Rounding out the top ten were Lou Egrie, Egrie Jr., Bill Henning, Brian Shuey, last week’s feature winner, and C. Merkel.

Green and Shuey were the heat winners.

Before the first lap of the Sportsman feature could be scored, an eight-car fourth turn tangle brought out the red. Once things got underway, Brandon Whitmoyer was in charge and immediately pulled away leaving Andrew Kreis, Kurt Bettler, Dylan Swinehart, all rookies second through fourth and Brett Gilmore in tow. Lisowski overtook second on the fourth lap and set his sights on B. Whitmoyer.

It took Lisowski two laps to reel B. Whitmoyer in and one lap to move into first. Behind the pair making it a three-way battle for first was C. Whitmoyer.

C. Whitmoyer overtook his brother Brandon for second on the 12th lap to pressure Lisowski for the top spot. Lisowski and C. Whitmoyer swapped paint many times, but the lead remained the same.

C. Whitmoyer took advantage of lap traffic on the 22nd lap with the pair still rubbing and move into first. After getting the white flag and on his way to a possible victory, C. Whitmoyer slipped up going into the first turn. Lisowski quickly pounced on the situation and was back in front.

Lisowski didn’t give up first and was in victory lane for his sixth career victory with C. Whitmoyer a close second. Finishing third was B. Whitmoyer trailed by Joe Funk and Gilmore. Sixth was Ryan Lilick followed by Brad Brightbill, Jim Housworth, Dean Bachman and Jordan Henn. B. Whitmoyer, Dylan Swinehart and Housworth won the heats. The consi went to Brad Brightbill.

Ronnie Peck, the ’74 and ’75 Grandview Late Model point champion, and Dave Smith were the winners of the two 15-lap Blast From the Past Vintage Car features.

HOWARD, SHUEY AND HOUSWORTH WIN NASCAR STOCK CAR FEATURES AT GRANDVIEW SPEEDWAY

BECHTELSVILLE, PA April 17, 2017 . . . Duane Howard lost the T.P. Trailers NASCAR 358 Modified opener feature at Grandview as he had the lapped cars as obstacles that allowed eventual winner Craig VonDohren to reel him in and pass him for the win. In the second outing Howard didn’t want another one to slip by him. He was glad lapped traffic, “obeyed the move over flag, even though he had to work through them in the closing stages.” He could run the Petruska-owned Atlas Paving No. 66 on the top or bottom as the crew, “worked hard this week to provide him with a top notch car.” Howard showed his appreciation when he won the 35-lap Modified feature to claim $3,500 plus in his 69th career win by a comfortable margin over runner-up Mike Gular in the event broadcast by RCN-TV.

Brian Shuey, a three-time Late Model point champion stepped away from racing for several years, but he always had the desire to return if the right opportunity came along. Scott Lee, a former driver himself, contacted the Shoemakersville resident and they decided to team up for the 2016 season.

The opener didn’t farewell for them, but the next attempt was a success as Shuey returned to the winner’s circle for the first time since August 2010 by leading from start to finish holding off Wayne Pfeil’s constant challenges in the 20-lap BRC NASCAR Late Model feature.

Jim Housworth became a fixture at the track three years ago behind the wheel of the Ryan McNichol Sportsman No. 72. He said, “He knew the first one is always the hardest, but he didn’t think it would be this long.” He didn’t have an easy time capturing the victory in the 25-lap Sportsman feature since Brett Gilmore was on his bumper practically the entire race leaving Housworth know he was there.

All three feature winners received additional monetary awards from T.P. Trailers, Limerick ‑ $250, for the Modified and $100 for both the Late Model and Sportsman winners plus the Dan’s Deli ½-way hoagie award.

NASCAR stock car racing action returns to Grandview Speedway on Saturday, April 23rd at 7 p.m. with the T.P.Trailers 358 Modifieds, BRC Late Models and Sportsman all seeing action. An added attraction will be the Blast from the Past Vintage Cars seeing action. Gates open at 5 p.m. Adult admission is $15 with youngsters under 12 being admitted free.

At the initial start of the Modified feature Kenny Gilmore was the early race leader.

The yellow flew on lap two when Rick Laubach hit the third turn wall with heavy impact, but escaped injury despite a heavily damaged race car. The restart was void when Ryan Watt spun with VonDohren, Steve Swinehart and Kyle Borror also involved. Everyone continued under their own power. Gilmore still led the restart with heavy pressure from John Willman.

Willman became the new leader on the fourth circuit with Gilmore, Tim Buckwalter, Brett Kressley and Mike Kellner in tow.

A few cars back Howard was making his run to the front from 14th on the outside lane and by the tenth lap he was challenging Buckwalter for second.

Willman held on to first until the 15th lap when Howard dove underneath him out of two and into the top spot.

With Howard now in control the battle for the remaining spots developed between Willman, Gular and Jeff Strunk.

Positions were constantly changing behind Howard with Gular, Strunk, Willman and Buckwalter the top five with 23 laps in the books and everyone working slower traffic.

Before the checkered unfurled Kellner spun in the second turn erasing Howard’s deficit giving everyone a last opportunity on the single file restart.

Howard kept the Billy The Kid powered mount ahead and went on to score his first win of the season and 69th career win. Trailing were Gular, Strunk, Buckwalter and VonDohren, who came on strong the final lap. Rounding out the top ten were Doug Manmiller, Willman, Kressley, Gilmore and Jared Umbenhauer.

Heats were won by Manmiller, Watt and Umbenhauer. Danny Erb won the consi.

Before the first lap could be completed in the Late Model feature a third and fourth turn tangle brought out the yellow. The next try caused the red to be thrown after defending point champion Chuck Schutz was bounced off the backstretch wall, spun into traffic and was hit hard by Lou Egrie Jr. and Cory Merkel. All drivers escaped injury with Schutz’s car receiving the brunt of the damage and Egrie Jr. was also through for the night. Merkel continued, but eventually dropped out.

Once action got underway polesitter Shuey, who lost power steering in the heat, took the early pace while Bryon Sipe, returning after a year hiatus; Pfeil, Egrie and Ron Kline in pursuit.

Pfeil advanced to second on the third lap, but Sipe didn’t give up easily. Pfeil next wanted to track down Shuey and take the lead away.

By the half-way marker Pfeil was reeling Shuey in as the front runner neared lap traffic.

Despite the fact that Pfeil closed the gap Shuey built up, he couldn’t muster up enough steam to get past him and Shuey went on to capture his season first win and 16th career victory. Finishing second was Pfeil followed by Kline, another driver that returned after being away from the division a few year; Sean Merkel, opening night winner and Egrie. Sixth through tenth were Sipe, Dave Ogin, Devin Frey, Bill Henning and Joe Fanelli.

Pfeil and Egrie won the heats.

Sportsman action saw Housworth pull away quickly followed by Brett Gilmore, Mike Lisowski, Ken Eckert Jr. and Dean Bachman.

The front runners came upon lap traffic by the 11th lap, but they continued to battle intensely.

As the front runners came out of turn four on the 16th lap, a lap car spun in front of them making for some tense moments. Housworth and Gilmore got past, but Lisowski wasn’t as fortunate as he got caught up in it. He could continue, but lost valuable positions since he had to go to the rear of the field. Housworth held onto the lead on the restart, but now Eckert was second.

A fourth turn spin brought out the final caution period on the 17th lap. Housworth held his ground, but now Gilmore was back in second.

Housworth never surrendered the lead in his Lombardo powered mount and went on to score a well-deserved first career victory. Following him across the line were Gilmore, Henn, Eckert Jr. and Bachman. Craig Whitmoyer, opening night winner; Joe Funk III, Kyle Lilick, Ryan Lilick and Mike Koffel completed the top ten.

The four sportsman heat winners were Brad Brightbill, Bachman, Ryan Beltz and R. Lilick. Brad Grim and Paul Houseknecht won the consies.

VONDOHREN, SEAN MERKEL AND CRAIG WHITMOYER WIN OPENING NIGHT NASCAR STOCK CAR FEATURES AT GRANDVIEW SPEEDWAY

BECHTELSVILLE, PA April 3, 2016 . . . Eight time NASCAR T.P.Trailers 358 Modified champion Craig VonDohren, 52, of Oley, PA ducked underneath Duane Howard, 51, of Oley, PA, who was the 358 Modified race leader from the drop of the green, racing through Turn 4 with the white flag waving to steal the top spot and grab the win Saturday night at Grandview Speedway in the 30-lap 358 Modified main event. The down-to-the-wire thriller was a non-stop crowd-pleasing feature event completed in just over eight minutes, as the defending track champion claimed career win number 96 at the Bechtelsville, PA track.

Craig Whitmoyer, 39, of Hamburg, PA knifed his way under the top two running cars, who were battling each other for the top spot while caught up in heavy lapped traffic, racing through Turn 2 on Lap 18 and went on to earn his sixth career Sportsman victory at the Grandview oval. The non-stop 25-lap main event took just over seven minutes to complete.

Sean Merkel, 30, of Boyertown, PA started from the pole in the 25-lap Late Model feature go, immediately grabbed the number one position with the green and remained out in front from green to checkers to earn his eleventh career win by a comfortable margin. The victory for Merkel had the veteran racer out in front by a full straight-away most of the distance.

The entire three division season opening program was completed in just over three hours on a very chilly and somewhat blustery night at the high-banked third-mile clay oval in Berks County.

The Modified racers used the Saturday night event as a tune-up for this coming Saturday when the T.P.Trailers 358 Modifieds will race in their first special of the season, a 35-lapper paying at least $3500 to win. The 7 p.m. tripleheader will also feature the Sportsman and BRC Late Models.

With each feature going off with a heads-up start, Merkel took the lead immediately in the Late Model main event followed by Cory Merkel and Bill Henning. Cautions on Lap 6 and Lap 7 tightened things up. The new green showed Sean Merkel out in front ahead of Cory Merkel, his younger brother. On Lap 8 Lou Egrie advanced up to third and two tours later Dave Ogin took fourth.

Merkel remained out in front, winning by a comfortable distance over Cory Merkel, Dave Ogin, Lou Egrie Jr. and Lou Egrie to round out a strong-running top five.

“This year we just wanted to get off to a better start,” explained Merkel, known at the speedway as “Big Sexy.” “With the win we can say we started off better already. I got a little worried, though, running through the lapped traffic, but that’s racing. It is what it is, I guess?”

Merkel was awarded a $100 bonus from T.P. Trailers of Limerick, PA and also received the halfway leaders hoagie from Dan’s Deli in nearby Boyertown, PA.

In the 30-lap NASCAR 358 Modified main event, five-time track champion Duane Howard started from the pole wheeling the No. 66 Atlas Paving Mike Petruska owned ride and quickly found the horsepower he needed to pull away to a comfortable advantage. Danny Erb was second on Lap 1, with Ryan Grim moving into second for Lap 2. VonDohren climbed to third on Lap 10 and Howard held a full straight-away lead after 12 circuits were put in the record books.

By Lap 17, the eight-time track champion, VonDohren claimed second. The next 6-laps or so Howard was tied up in the heavy lapped traffic as VonDohren closed the gap. On Lap 27 VonDohren was on Howard’s rear bumper and a circuit later VonDohren was racing wheel-to-wheel through the lapped traffic with Howard. Racing through Turn 4 on Lap 29 VonDohren ducked low, underneath Howard and became the new leader exiting the corner with the white flag waving.

VonDohren crossed the line first with Howard in close pursuit, finishing as the runner-up. Grim held on for third-place, with 10-time speedway champion Jeff Strunk bringing it home in fourth. Mike Gular rounded out the top five finishers.

Howard was given the halfway leaders hoagie award from Dan’s Deli, while VonDohren was awarded $250 for winning by T.P. Trailers. VonDohren wound up walking away with $2,750 for his triumph.

Brad Arnold started the 25-lap Sportsman feature from the pole and quickly jumped out in front of Brian Hirthler and second-generation driver Brad Grim. Joe Funk was fourth after the first tour. On Lap 2 Funk was third and by Lap 3 he was up to second-place, followed by Hirthler and Grim. Laps 5, 6 and 7 Funk started to apply heavy pressure, chasing the race leader, Arnold.

Whitmoyer raced into fourth-place at the halfway point, as the top three were fighting it out in heavy lapped traffic. In Turn 2 on Lap 18 Funk and Arnold slipped up high, as Whitmoyer used the bottom to slip past the leaders and move out in front down the back chute. With two to go Funk ducked under Hirthler in Turn 2 to move into second. Never seriously challenged, Whitmoyer easily scored the triumph over Funk, who simply ran out of laps and couldn’t get close. Third was Brad Brightbill, who closed in on the leaders late, followed by Hirthler and Arnold to round out the top five finishers in that order.

“My car just came to me, there, at the end,” Whitmoyer commented. “I could see the top two were having trouble with the lapped traffic. I just felt I could get it in there, underneath, racing through the turn. We were all fast running down the straight-aways, but I was confident I could get under them through the corners. Tonight the track surfaced slicked off and made it real racy. It’s better racing that way. We’ve got a real good, fast field of cars this season and everyone raced me clean. We stepped our program up a little this year and it paid off tonight in a big way.”

Arnold was awarded the Dan’s Deli halfway hoagie, with an additional $100 handed to Whitmoyer courtesy of T.P. Trailers.

Heat races for 16 Late Models were won by Sean and Cory Merkel.

With 38 Sportsman cars in the crowded pit area, Arnold, Jim Housworth, Hirthler and Brad Grim were the heat victors.

In the 358 Modifieds, Howard, Erb and VonDohren were heat race winners , with 34 358 Modified cars signed in.
