CRAIG VONDOHREN EARNS 100TH MODIFIED VICTORY AT GRANDVIEW; BRIAN SHUEY TOPS IN LATE MODELS AND PAUL KLINE WINS SPORTSMAN MAIN EVENT ON SATURDAY NIGHT
BECHTELSVILLE, PA. August 21, 2016 . . . It all began in 1981 when Craig VonDohren won his first modified feature at Grandview Speedway. As time went on the defending point champion continued to rack up the wins driving for either the family or other car owners. Saturday night, 35 years later, the Oley leadfoot and current point leader, scored his 100th win in the division the post back-to-back victorious and his fifth of the season in the 35-Lap T.P. Trailers NASCAR 358 Modified All-American Racing Series feature event. In addition to the top prize he also pocketed $250 from T.P. Trailers plus $150 in product contingency awards from VP Fuels for running gas.
Brian Shuey also scored his fifth win of the season by a 0.607 margin over runner-up Dan Green in the 25-Lap BRC NASCAR Late Model feature to be the seventh different winner. He also earned an additional $100 from T.P. Trailers and the ½-way Dan’s Deli hoagie award.
The caution riddled 25-lap NASCAR Sportsman feature winner for the third time was Paul Kline as time ran short for runner-up Craig Whitmoyer to catch him. Whitmoyer’s second place finish put him on top of the point standings ahead of Jordan Henn and Mike Lisowski. T.P. Trailers also awarded Kline $100.
NASCAR stock car racing action returns to Grandview Speedway on Saturday, August 27th, featuring the T.P.Trailers 358 Modifieds, BRC Late Models and Sportsman along with Blast from the Past Vintage racers. The night of racing is sponsored by A.D.Moyer Lumber and gets started at 7:30 p.m. Just two nights of point racing remain in the 2016 season.
Polesitter Blaine Bracelin Jr. set the pace for ten laps of the Modified feature before Steve Swinehart spun in the fourth turn for the first yellow. On the restart Don Norris Jr. charged to the head of the pack with Mike Kellner, Bracelin Jr., John Willman and Bobby Gunther Walsh in tow.
Bracelin’s fine third place run went up in smoke bringing out the 14th lap caution. This time when the raced went green again Kellner stormed into first leaving Norris Jr., Brett Kressley, Ryan Grim and Jeff Strunk dice for the remaining top five positions.
By the 21st lap, Kellner, Norris Jr. and Kressley were in a three-way battle for the lead while VonDohren and Strunk waited in the wings for the right opportunity to advance.
Frank Cozze and Eric Biehn tangled in the fourth turn using the 23rd lap caution period. Kellner motored away quickly, but VonDohren made some bold moves as he found the right lanes and went from fourth to the lead as they crossed the line to complete the next lap.
With five laps to go the order behind VonDohren consisted of Strunk, Mike Gular, Kressley and Norris Jr.
After the white flag unfurled coming down the homeshute, Norris Jr. and Duane Howard, driving Norm Hansell’s second No. 357H, made contact. Howard hit the wall with heavy impact, bounced off the wall and into traffic in turn one. The cars were coming full speed and Tim Buckwalter had nowhere to go and hit the motionless car of Howard. Danny Erb hit the pair full force as he too had no room to maneuver and took a violent flip. Nate Christman was also involved. Buckwalter and Erb were shaken up and taken for observation. Norris Jr. was penalized to the back of the field for initializing the incident, but he decided to go pit side instead. VonDohren stayed in front to become the seventh different winner on the final lap, but coming in for the checkered flag Gular shot past Strunk for second with Strunk dropping to third followed by Kressley and Kenny Gilmore.
VonDohren, Strunk and Willman were the heat winners. The consi went to Cozze.
In BRC Late Model action Shuey led from the drop of the green until the wave of the checkered to win his 20th career victory and fifth of the season.
Throughout the course of the event Joe Fanelli, Bryon Sipe, Dan Green and Bill Henning swapped positions.
Sean Merkel and Randy Stoudt spun in the fourth turn for the ninth lap caution. It was still Shuey at the head of the pack.
The next caution was when Cory Merkel, running seventh, stopped in the first turn. Shuey held his position on the restart, but by this time was being chased down by Green, Wayne Pfeil, Chuck Schutz and last week’s feature winner Ron Kline.
The lead never changed and it was Shuey in the winner’s circle once again. Chasing him across were Green, Pfeil, Schutz and Kline.
Kline and Fanelli won the heats.
Derrick Smith showed the way for six laps in the Sportsman feature before Ryan Higgs took over first on the seventh lap restart needed when Henn spun along the backstretch.
The lead changed once again on the eighth lap when Kline moved into the top spot.
Dicing for second through fifth were Higgs, Craig Whitmoyer, Brad Arnold and Steve Young.
Whitmoyer overtook second on the 14th lap and set sail after Kline, but at the same time he had to deal with Arnold. As these two diced for the position, it gave Kline some breathing room.
Kline never relinquished first and pulled into victory lane for his sixth career win followed by Whitmoyer, Arnold, Jordan Umbenhauer and Higgs.
Heat winners were Dylan Swinehart, last week’s feature winner, Ryan Beltz and Young. Brian Papiez was the consi winner.

KRAUSE BEATS HEAT TO WIN WALL MODIFIEDS SATURDAY

Wall Stadium
KRAUSE BEATS HEAT TO WIN WALL MODIFIEDS SATURDAY
WALL TOWNSHIP, N.J. August 13, 2016 - Young veteran stock car driver Andrew Krause beat both the excessive heat provided by the weather and the on the track heat offered by contender Derek Hopkinson of Toms River to win the 40-lapper for the Downs Ford Modifieds at Wall Stadium Speedway Saturday night. The Holmdel resident’s second win of the campaign was a turnaround as his chances of winning two big races recently were spoiled by a broken wheel spacer in the “Garden State Classic” and a broken wheel in the “Summer Scorcher.”
Because of his recent bad fortunes Krause started on the front row and took full advantage of the spot. Krause jumped to the lead early but was forced to battle Hopkinson every step of the way. A handful of cautions for minor incidents forced many double file restarts during the first half of the event with Krause and Hopkinson spending most of their time wrestling side-by-side around the third mile high banked paved oval.
The second half of the event calmed down as far as yellow flags went but Hopkinson still offered a stiff challenge most of the way. Jason Treat of Jackson posted his best finish of the season with an impressive third while Brick’s Shawna Ingraham recovered from a first lap spin to finish fourth and Willingoboro’s Zack Alspach was fifth.
“It was in the back of mind my all through the second half of the race,” Krause said in victory lane in regards to his recent issues with broken parts. “I just tried not to think about that and focus on the race. Derek was real fast tonight and kept the pressure on. He is a clean driver so I knew he would race clean but hard.
“I want to thank my mom, my dad, my sister and everyone who works on this car. They never give up and that really keeps me going.”
The O’Shea’s Auto Repair Factory Stocks were also in the spotlight in an extra-distance 50-lap race and defending champion Joe Mongeau of Brick took the win after passing teammate Richie Byrne of Howell. Ryan Flores, Scott Riggleman of Manchester and Scott Maher of Brick were third through fifth.
Former champion Kevin Davison of Howell won the first of two Snap On Sportsman main events. In the early evening 25-lapper, rain postponed from July 30, Davison took the lead on the sixth lap and fought off Tyler Truex of Mayetta and Brick’s Robert Sutphin for the win. Manchester’s Shannon Mongeau and Tuckerton’s Robby Walton wrapped up the top five.
Howell’s Jimmy Blewett won the regularly scheduled Sportsman 30-lapper taking the lead with 20-laps in. Truex was again the runner-up with Matt Langbein of Laurence Harbor, Davison and Jackson’s Blake Barney completing the top five finishers.
Two first time winners were in the spotlight after a pair of 25-lappers for the Surfside Collision 4 Cylinder Stocks were completed. In the first, rain postponed from July 30, Howell’s Brian Osborn took the victory over Beachwood’s Todd Pilla, Fred Cannock of Port Monmouth, Brick’s Ronnie Mullen and Mike Carr of Wall.
Kyle Scisco of Jackson won the regularly scheduled 4 Cylinder Stock main over Mullen, Osborn, Brick’s Jason Lane and Pilla.
Dalton Rovira won the main event for the visiting Micro Stocks.
Stock car racing continues this Saturday night (August 20) as the speedway presents “Champions’ Night” with many of the track’s past title winners on hand to meet with fans. On the track the Downs Ford Modifieds will battle in a 40-lap main event and the Snap On Sportsman cars will compete in a rain postponed 50-lapper. The Surfside Collision 4 Cylinder Stocks will compete in two 25-lappers and the Elite Maintenance Limited Late Models and the Green Flag Driving Experience Legend Cars will each compete in a 25-lapper. Grandstand seating opens at 5:00 p.m., qualifying starts at 5:45 p.m. and feature racing begins at 7:00 p.m.
The complete updated regular season schedule, which runs on Saturday nights through the end of September, is available at wallspeedwayracing.com as are the rules and regulations for all divisions. Post-season events, the “Spooky Spectacular” in October and the Thanksgiving weekend “Turkey Derby,” are also being planned.

CRAIG VONDOHREN TAKES HOME BIRTHDAY PRESENT OF MORE THAN $10,000 AFTER WINNING HIS SEVENTH PIONEER POLE BUILDINGS FORREST ROGERS MEMORIAL CLASSIC AT GRANDVIEW; DYLAN SWINEHART AND RON KLINE ALSO WIN FEATURES ON SATURDAY NIGHT
BECHTELSVILLE, PA. August 14, 2016 . . . Current T.P.Trailers NASCAR 358 Modified point leader Craig VonDohren, the defending Pioneer Pole Building/Forrest Rogers Memorial race winner, gave himself a hefty birthday present when he scored the win in the 50-Lap NASCAR Whelen 358 Modified All-American Racing Series feature event Saturday night at Grandview Speedway. It was the seventh time he claimed victory in the event. VonDohren may have had a comfortable margin over runner-up Mike Gular, but his fourth feature win of the season didn’t come easy for the defending point champion, since he had to deal with heavy lapped traffic on numerous occasions. In addition to the $10,000 top prize he also pocketed $250 in bonus bucks from T.P. Trailers plus $150 in product contingency awards from VP Fuels for running gas along with the Dan’s Deli ½-way hoagie award. The racing activities were sponsored by Pioneer Pole Building and the 46th running of the event was in honor of race founder Forrest Rogers, the late father of current promoter and track owner Bruce Rogers.
Dylan Swinehart, a rookie this season in the Sportsman division and also a third generation of racing Swinehart’s – his grandfather Ray, uncle Steve and now himself, became the tenth different winner when he scored his first 25-lap NASCAR Sportsman feature career win by defeating Ryan Higgs. Swinehart also has another famous racing grandfather ‑ Dennis Bailey. Both Ray and Dennis were previous point champions. Throughout the season the youngster has endured so many obstacles and he finally was glad to get the monkey off his back. Last week he had failed to qualify for the race. He also picked up an additional $100 from T.P. Trailers and the ½-way Dan’s Deli hoagie award.
In BRC Late Model action Ron Kline overtook leader Brian Shuey on the 19th lap and went on to claim back to back feature wins in the 25-Lap race. T.P. Trailers also awarded him $100.
There have now been 24 different feature winners in the Saturday night NASCAR sanctioned events presented this season.
Tony Stewart’s All Star Circuit of Champions 410 Sprint racers will be in action on Thursday, August 18th at 7:30 p.m. and will feature some of the best Sprint car talents in the nation. The TSRS 305 Sprints will also be part of the Thunder on the Hill event.
Henning’s Trains of Lansdale will have some Lionel trains to give away to lucky youngsters on Saturday, August 20th. Racing will feature the NASCAR T.P.Trailers 358 Modifieds, BRC Late Models and Sportsman. Only three nights of point racing remain in the chase for the lucrative track and NASCAR championships.
Bobby Gunther-Walsh led the first lap of the Modified feature before the red was thrown on the second lap when Tyler Dippel found himself in the backstretch wall with heavy impact. He was shaken up a bit, but walked to the ambulance under his own power. It was still Gunther-Walsh in command on the restart with pressure coming from Brett Kressley, Nate Christman, Ray Swinehart and Justin Grim.
Kressley put the Norm Hansell-owned No. 357 into the lead on the 11th lap restart needed for a multi-car fourth turn tangle. By this time VonDohren, who started 14th, had piloted the PPB/Keith Harring Transportation No. 1C mount to second to challenge the Modified rookie.
By the 18th lap the front five consisting of Kressley, VonDohren, Christman, Mike Gular and Kyle Weiss encountered the back markers that were also racing for positions and did heed the move over flag.
VonDohren used the lap cars to his advantage and took over first on the 19th lap, but one lap later Kressley was back in front as the pair swapped the lead back and forth.
Lap 21 VonDohren moved ahead once again and immediately opened up daylight leaving Kressley, Christman, Gular and Weiss giving chase.
With ten laps to go debris in the first turn brought out the final yellow. VonDohren was still in command when action resumed, but Gular quickly motored past Christman and Kressley and was now second in pursuit of the leader.
It looked like VonDohren was on a rail as the laps wound down and he raced to his 99th career win. Chasing him across the finish line were Gular, Kressley, Ray Swinehart and Jeff Strunk. Rounding out the top ten were Christman, Jared Umbenhauer, Kenny Gilmore, Duane Howard and Weiss.
2014 race winner Dr. Danny Johnson, a New York standout racing talent, made a rare appearance, but could only muster a 14th-place finish.
Justin Grim, Gunther-Walsh and R. Swinehart won the heats with Mike Kellner winning the consi.
Sportsman action saw rookie Ken Bock show the way for two laps before Steve Young forged ahead.
The lead changed for the third time on lap six when young Swinehart took the lead.
Behind Swinehart, Young and Derrick Smith, Ryan Higgs and Andrew Kreis, all rookies, diced for second through fifth.
Smith overtook second on the ninth circuit and set his signs on Swinehart.
The front runners soon encountered lapped traffic which they had to use hands-up driving tactics.
Brad Arnold brought out the only yellow with three laps to go when he stopped in the third turn. Before the restart, Smith, who was running second since lap nine, pitted after he made contact with the wall earlier and suffered damage. This put Higgs, Craig Whitmoyer, Young and Kreis, nose-to-tail, but Swinehart wasted no time staying ahead.
Swinehart kept all challengers at bay and went on to claim a well-deserved triumph followed by Higgs, Whitmoyer, Jim Housworth and Young.
Heats were won by Kreis, Bock and Young. The consi went to Brandon Whitmoyer.
Devin Frey took the early lead in the Late Model feature before Shawn Horning slowed along the homestretch. Rain was soon approaching, but not falling on the track and as the cars restarted and headed into turns one and two, a heavy downpour broke loose with Frey and a few others to hit the wall. Eliminated were Frey, Drew Weisser, Lou Egrie and Sean Merkel. As quick as the rain started, it stopped. Since so many cars were damaged, management decided to run the modified and sportsman consolation races, then their features and conclude with the remainder of the Late Model feature allowing them time to repair their cars.
When the race resumed, four-time feature winner and two-time point champion Brian Shuey was the race leader followed by Wayne Pfeil, Kline, Corey Merkel and Chuck Schutz.
Pfeil and Kline battled several laps before Kline advanced to second, but Pfeil didn’t give up easily and challenged him. This gave Shuey some breathing room.
Once Kline broke free of Pfeil he reeled Shuey in and passed him on the 19th lap.
Once in front Kline never relinquished first and went on to chalk up his 35th career win followed by Shuey, Pfeil, C. Merkel and current point leader and defending champion Schutz.
Frey and Egrie won the heats.
