RAY SWINEHART, MARK KEMMERER AND SEAN MERKEL EARN FIRST SEASON VICTORIES IN A.D.MYOYER LUMBER CO. NASCAR STOCK CAR ACTION AT GRANDVIEW SPEEDWAY
BECHTELSVILLE, PA. – All three NASCAR feature winners during the A.D. Moyer Lumber Night on Saturday at Grandview Speedway ended their winless streaks by claiming the victories in their respective feature. More than 80 racers took part in the racing action that was completed before 10:30 p.m.
Veteran campaigner and two-time Modified point champion Ray Swinehart struggled in the early portion of the season, but since he unveiled his new car it appears his luck changed. Despite being close on numerous occasions to pulling off the win in the 30-lap T.P. Trailers & Truck Equipment NASCAR 358 Modified feature, he couldn’t quite accomplish the feat. Taking advantage of the one and only restart to take first away from Skylar Sheriff, Swinehart was back in the winner’s circle – a place he was shut out of since June 13, 2015.
Sean Merkel, briefly returning to Late Model action at the 1/3-mile banked clay oval for a few weeks, led from start to finish to capture his first 25-lap NASCAR Late Model feature since April 2, 2016.
Mark Kemmerer, a bridesmaid the last time they raced, took the opportunity of the 19th lap caution in the 25-lap NASCAR Sportsman feature to overtake Derrick Smith for the lead and was able to claim his first win of the year. The last time he won was August 9, 2017.
All feature winners received a monetary award from T.P. Trailers and product awards from V.P. Racing Fuel providing they met the necessary requirements. Swinehart, Merkel and Smith received the Dan’s Deli ½-way hoagie award.
Rookie racer Skylar Sheriff quickly took the early lead in the Modified feature and within no time he increased the distance between himself and Ray Swinehart, Ron Seltmann Jr., Bobby Gunther Walsh and John Willman, who jockeyed for the remaining positions.
A first turn ninth lap tangle between Seltmann Jr. and Frank Cozze brought out the yellow erasing Sheriff’s comfortable lead. On the restart Swinehart shot to the outside to put his self-owned/MVP No. 33 at the head of the pack.
By this time second through fifth behind him consisted of Sheriff, Willman, Ron Kline, another rookie and Kevin Hirthler.
On the 17th lap Willman finally cleared Sheriff for second after an eight-lap battle for the spot and took chase after Swinehart, who would soon encounter lap traffic.
Swinehart had to weave his way through the side-by-side slower traffic, who were also racing for positions as the laps wound down.
No one was able to reel Swinehart in to challenge him for the win as he continued on his way to career win number 29. Chasing him across the line for their season best finishes were Kline and Willman trailed by current point leader Mike Gular and K. Hirthler, another driver posting his best run.
Starting on the pole in the Late Model feature S. Merkel wasted no time leaving Wayne Pfeil, defending point champion Chuck Schutz and current point leader Danny Snyder, already feature winners this year and Brian Shuey in tow. Trying to break into the top five were brothers Kyle and Cory Merkel.
The pack regrouped with 18 laps completed when Bryon Sipe’s bad luck continued bringing him to a stop in the fourth turn and the yellow to come out. S. Merkel continued his pace, but the real battle was for the runner-up spot between Pfeil and Schutz with neither one giving in.
The top five remained the same the entire race with S. Merkel showing the way to victory. Pfeil, Schutz, Snyder and Shuey trailed.
Sportsman action saw young Nathan Mohr, winner of the Summer Splash 40 earlier this season, set the pace for one lap until Smith motored ahead on the second circuit.
While Smith led the way, Mohr, Kemmerer, current point leader Louden Reimert and Lex Shive were in the hunt for the remaining spots.
Kemmerer overtook Mohr for second on the ninth lap and the battle for the lead was on. Kemmerer made several attempts to pass Smith, but each try failed.
Kenny Bock spun in the third turn for the yellow on the 18th lap. On the restart Kemmerer, shut out of victory the past few weeks, became the new leader as Smith went a little too high off of turn four.
Once Kemmerer was in front he never looked back and continued to chalk up his third career win. Posting his best finish since he won August 26, 2017 was Smith followed by Reimert, Shive and Brad Grim.
Heats were won by Sean Weiss, Smith and Mohr. Kurt Bettler won the consi.
Kicking off August will be Checkered Flag Fan Club Night on Saturday, August 4th. Another tripleheader show of NASCAR stock car racing will be the attraction with the T.P.Trailers 358 Modifieds using the night to tune-up for the rich classic Pioneer Pole Buildings Forrest Rogers Memorial Classic set for Saturday, August 11th. The annual race, a 50-lapper for Modifieds paying $10,000 to the winner, is run to remember the man who had the idea for building the track and carried it through to create Grandview Speedway with the help of his son Bruce.
The Forrest Rogers Memorial is considered one of the most prestigious events to win and often attracts a bevy of visitors to try for the rich win. In addition the Late Models and Sportsman will be a part of the night of racing.
Admission for the August 11th special event is $25 for adults, $5 for youngsters 6 through 11 and FREE admission for those under 6.
Jersey Shore Grandview fan Jim Gilmore has posted $100 for the leader of lap number 18 in the Forrest Rogers Memorial in memory of the late Mike Bailey.

PIONEER POLE BUILDINGS JERSEY RUSH VIII
RAIN STOPS PIONEER POLE BUILDINGS JERSEY RUSH VIII AT NEW EGYPT SPEEDWAY TUESDAY NIGHT, MAKE-UP DATE SOON TO BE ANNOUNCED
A weather front stuck in New Jersey for three days with more to come has forced the postponement of the Jersey RUSH VIII set to take place at the New Egypt Speedway on Tuesday night, July 24.
Rain and thunderstorms, which entered the area on Saturday forcing postponement of many racing events including a program slated for New Egypt, failed to leave the area on Monday producing wet grounds. With the front expected to stay through Wednesday, promoters Bob Miller, Len, Dan and Davey Sammons decided it was in everyone’s best interest to cancel the event ahead of time to save unneeded travel expense and loss of work.
“We are especially disappointed losing this race date as we may have assembled the strongest car count and name drivers since the start of the Jersey Rush back in 2011,” said Len Sammons. “We were hoping to see some possibility of a break in the weather, but heavy storms continued on Monday night giving the track crew no chance in producing the excellent racing surface the drivers and fans deserve.”
Jersey Rush VIII combines the only New Jersey appearance of 410 Sprint Cars, plus Modifieds and Sportsman for a full night of action on the racy D-shaped clay oval. The promotional group is actively looking for a make-up date to ensure that we do not have a conflict with other special events.

ACCORD SPEEDWAY NEWS
Posted by: | CommentsAccord, NY- "Jammin Jimmy" Goes To The Wells For Third Modified Win At Accord Speedway
By: Steve Pados, Accord Speedway Media
Accord Speedway Promoters Gary and Donna Palmer completed their twelfth Friday night show of the season last evening and what a show it was. The eight division event found two new winners emerging during the evening while some familiar names were again at the top of their game to come home with a victory in their respective divisions. The joy of making a trip to the WRWD Radio Victory Lane is a highlight for each driver who has done his or her homework to enjoy the sweet celebration that follows. The weather fully cooperated and the enthusiastic crowd came out to the speedway to enjoy a superb evening of speed. The evening was sponsored by the good folks at Williams Lumber who have eight locations in the greater Hudson Valley of New York and one location in Connecticut. They also brought along one of their lumber wagons for pacing the field and an abundant array of shirts, hats and carry-all bags for the fans. The Williams Lumber website is: www.williamslumber.com
When the final tallies were recorded, "Jammin Jimmy" Wells mounted a "spree to get three" as he overcame a huge lead by New Jersey star Steve Davis to go on and capture his third win of the season at Accord in the Insinger Fuel Modifieds. Veteran Accord Speedway campaigner Mike Senecal hung tough all night long and he too put together a late charge to capture the Arkel Motors Sportsman main event. Livy Johnson was on point and scored her second win of the season in the Upstate Auto Pure Stock feature attraction. "The Travelin Man" Mick D’Agostino continued his winning ways as he held off a tough Jeremy Quick to score his sixth win of the season in the WRWD Radio NEWS Sprint Car feature. Travis Green made a late charge to the front successful as he scored his second win of the season in the WRWD Radio Rookie Sportsman feature. The Emmanuel's Marketplace Fireball 4-Cylinder feature was captured by Richard Smith as he borrowed a car for the evening to grab up his third win of the season. The Northeast Vintage Modified feature was captured by Mike Houghtaling for his second Accord win of the season. Ashton DeWitt captured what was determined to be his first ever win at the speedway in a special event headlining the Junior Slingshot division..
Nick Johnson and Steve Davis brought the field down for the start of the thirty lap Insinger Fuels 30-lap headliner for the Modifieds. Davis was a rocket off of the top of the speedway and opened up a huge lead early with some 13.5 second lap times as his Premio Sausage/Bubba Burger hot rod was extremely quick from the upper channel of the speedway. Davis continued to lead in only his third appearance of the season and by the halfway point opened up a straightaway lead on the field. Past the halfway point, Davis began to encounter slower traffic and his momentum hit a snag as he drove lower on the speedway and found the sledding tougher to try to move forward at his earlier pace. Rich Ricci Jr and Jimmy Wells gobbled up the real estate quickly and moved in behind Davis but not before Wells slipped by Ricci for the runner-up slot.
By the time Davis regained top speed on his race car, Wells was knocking on the door and the pair raced hard with Wells making the winning pass off of turn two on lap-24. Wells would lead the rest of the way to capture his third win of the season in his Upstate Auto wagon. Davis would finish second in a very strong and impressive run at Accord. Rich Ricci Jr was third while Danny Creeden hustled to fourth and Jerry Higbie charging to fifth after starting eleventh. Heading up the second five was Mike Ricci with Anthony Perrego, Andy Bachetti, Joe Judge and Danny Tyler completing the top ten.
The Arkel Motors Sportsman event pole sitter Kevin Stevens sprinting into the lead at the drop of the green flag as he bested Mike Senecal for the early lead. Stevens, who has been a part-time campaigner in 2018, wasted no time as he revved up the jets on his Frank Stevens Roofing racer to open up a six car advantage on the field. Stevens was in a hurry but Senecal stayed within striking distance throughout the first half of the feature. Stevens began losing ground as the leader as Senecal, Matt Shultz and Tyler Johnston kept pace and closed in on the leader. Senecal began to stick the nose of his racer under Stevens and on lap-17 took over the lead. Senecal led but Shultz got around Stevens as did Tyler Johnston but Kyle Rohner, who recovered from a first lap tangle, was now moving forward and he would slip past Johnston and then past Stevens. Senecal would not be denied on this night as he captured the win with Shultz doing great work in second and Rohner driving to third place. Kevin Stevens and Tyler Johnston completed the top five. The second five found Leo Fotopoulos, Danny Morgiewicz, Harry Baldwin, Dave Demorest and Nick Plumstead completing the top ten.
Joe Coppola would lead from the first lap in the WRWD Rookie Sportsman headliner. Sixth starting Travis Green worked his way forward and began to put some pressure on Coppola past the halfway point. Green found the baseline to his liking and mounted a bid from there to pull even and then take over the lead from Coppola on lap-13. Green led the final laps to claim his second win of the season. Coppola earned runner-up honors while Brian Durbin, Michael Corbin, Travis Cogswell, Kyle Swart, Erin Paulison and Billy Fiske followed.
In the Upstate Auto Pure Stock event, Ray Tarantino led the first six laps. A scramble in turn three found Tarantino suffering heavy damage to his race car. On the restart, Livy Johnson took command and and led the remaining laps to claim her second win of the season. Travis Brockner would earn runner-up honors with Bob Sleight third, Emerson Cargain fourth and Kyle Welsch in the top five.
Jordan Lawrence would jump into the lead at the start in the WRWD Radio NEWS Sprint feature and would lead the first two laps before yielding to Mick D'Agostino. D'Agostino would soon find Jeremy Quick making advances for the lead. The pair raced clean and hard and Quick pulled even a few times only yo find D'Agostino rise to the occasion each time. D'Agsotino would raced to his sixth win of the season with Quick a very close second. Corey Wood was third while Andrew Davis, Jordan Lawrence, Don Smith Jr, Mike Traver, Mark Connolly and Dan Malley completed the field.
In the Fireballers feature, Willie DeGraw grabbed the lead at the start and would lead the first five laps before Richard Smith found room out by the boiler plate to slip past him. Once in front the show belonged to Smith as he led the rest of the way for the win, his third of the season. Ryan Heady ran a strong event to record runner-up honors. DeGraw was third with Jerry Kingeter and George Barringer completing the top five. Brandon Conklin, Anthony Tarantino, Ed King, Ken Barringer and Dave Bendell filled out the top ten.
In the Northeast Vintage Modifieds, Mike Houghtaling led every lap to claim his second win of the season at Accord. Mike Brown was second with Bob Harless, Ray See Sr and Jimmy Halpin rounding out the top five.
The Junior Slingshot feature found Ashton DeWitt scoring his first ever win at Accord while Brock Pinkerous, Garrett Poland and Chase Zimmer followed.
GEMSTONES:
Heat wins went to Rich Ricci Jr, Andy Bachetti and Jimmy Wells in the Modified division. Three heats were needed for the Sportsman with wins going to Matt Shultz, RJ Smith, and Danny Morgiewicz. The Rookie Sportsman heats were claimed by Brian Durbin and Joe Coppola. Mick D'Agostino and Jeremy Quick captured the sprint car heat wins. The Pure Stock heat wins went to Livy Johnson and Steve Williams.. Fireball heat winners included Jerry Kingeter and Willie DeGraw. Ashton DeWitt captured the Junior Slingshot heat. Mike Brown and Mike Houghtaling were the heat winners in the Northeast Vintage Modifieds.
New additions to the speedway included Kory Fleming in the Modifieds. Kory has moved his racing around this year to different speedways and said he had not been to Accord in ten years. A flat tire on the third lap of the feature proved to be an early dismissal for him. Kyle VanDuser was in a new mount and Mike Ricci took over the car Rich Ricci III was driving of late. Don Smith Jr was back in the sprint car that had been handled of late by Gary Huston. Kyle Welsch made a surprise appearance for the Pure Stocks. Don Smith III was a new addition to the Sportsman ranks. The four cylinder division had Robert Phillips making his first start.
The track was in excellent condition as noted by some quick times in the Modified feature event.
Many thanks to Susan Coddington from Williams Lumber for her assistance during the evening.
Chase Zimmer made his first Accord start in the Junior Slingshots. Chase is the son of former Pro Stock Champion at Accord Pat Zimmer.
