By: Steve Pados, GA Motorsports Media

The premier racing facility in the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania, the Hamlin Speedway, once again showed how to get things done last evening with an exciting show that emphasized the hard work and dedication the Smith Family has placed into the facility. With Mother Nature from the liquid and the heat side playing havoc on the speedway in recent weeks, a big show was planned for this weeekend and cooperation from everyone involved paid huge dividends to the faciity. The tremendous racing season thus far in 2019 and the loyal fan base and talented roster of driving stars who converge at the speedway are appreciative of all of the hard work and determination that goes into preparing an exciting and fun-filled evening of racing. The racing action at the 1/5th mile clay-cushioned facility has been over the top with many outstanding driving personalities carving out their own claim to fame in weekly competition for age groups from 8 to 60 plus.

Chad Sandt grabbed the lead at the start of the JPA Masonry event and hustled out to a nice-sized lead over Zack Weisenfluh. Track champion "The Travelin Man" Mick D'Agostino, had problems at the start of the event and dropped back many positions but once he settled he was the fastest car on the speedway. Going topside, he quickly became the pursuer and made some nice quality moves to get himself back up front. Sandt was in command all of the way and won the event with Weisenfluh in the runner-up role and D'Agostino rebounding for third place. Colin White hustled to fourth with Joel Smith rounding out the top five. The second five showed Joseph Smith, Stephen Weirich, Tyler Lindsay,Joey Amantea and Brett Altemose .

Kasey Hufcut took up pursuit and finsihed second while James Hendricks was third, Aidan Elliot fourth and Chase Zimmer rounding out the top five.

Jeff Hineline was sixth with Amanda Buchel, Evan Civick, John Bachetti ninth and James Costlow completing the top ten places.

Ryan Martin led all of the way until the checkered flag and then Kevin White stuck the nose of his race car in front of Martin to grab up the win.

On the restart, White used some some side speed to slip past D'Agostino and take control of the action. The action that took place behind White and D'Agostino was engaging to say the least.

Aidan Elliot, who was spun out in the early laps, came back to record a sixth place finish. Charlene BEnz, Chase Zimmer, Jacob Berman, and Ashton DeWitt completed the top ten finishers.

On the JPA Masonry Rookie 600 Sprint event it would be the Jacob Eby putting on a great show as he wired the field with a flwless effort on his part. Eby grabbed the lead at the start of thevent and hten held off a strong ruunung Tony Parlanti to capture the win, his first ever win at the Hamlin oval. Parlanti would finish second with Justin Newhard hustling hard into third place with Rich Maguire in fourth place and Michael Nolf doing a great job of returning form an early sppin to land in fifth place at the racing end. Cody Powell hustled to sixth place and Mandie Maguire was seventh in the event.

In the All Star Slingshot feature event, it would be Scott Neary grabbing up the lead early on in this one and drive to a close win over his teammate Austin Silfee. Brian Smith, who had moved up to this division for the Junior ranks did a great job at holding off two of the best in the business in Wes hearn and Dale Kober who both followed. James Benz was sixth with Rachel Dickinson, Paul Ennes, Shelby McLaughlin, and Joey Kalafut completing the top ten finioshers. The division has been storng early on and woll get better as the rookies who have joined the rnaks this season improve with their counterparts.

In the re-secheduled event from last week, Zach Weisenfluh, "The Taylor Tornado" outlasted Cody Smith and Paul Richards to put in a claim for a win in the speedway record-books. Weisenfluh kept his momentum going throughout the encounter and Cody Smith kept the pressure on the young man. Paul richards Jr was third with Mack Brink and Mick D'Agostino working hard until the end of the event to play catch-up. Noah Zielinski was sixth and was followed by Joseph Smith, TYler Lindsay, Chad SAndt and Scott Slater.

PEARL JAMS:

Kudos to Randy Smith for an excellent track surface that once again found the drivers utilizing the many racing channels throughout the evening of competition. Additional time was taken to keep the track surface smooth and tacky throughout the evening of speed.
