WALL WINS THE MR. SPORTSMAN CLASSIC AT NEW EGYPT SPEEDWAY
New Egypt, NJ (July 29, 2018) - At New Egypt Speedway, Pat Wall won the Mr.
Sportsman Classic. Dan Fleming was the victor in the Crate Modified feature.
The main event for the Larry's Hot Rods & Harley's Northeast Wingless Sprint
Cars went to Karl Freyer. Bill Liedtka took home the checkered flag in the
Mr. Street Stock Classic. Rob Longo was the victor in the 4-Cylinder
contest.
After the original start of the 30-lap Mr. Sportsman Classic for the Hammer
Sportsman was marred by an incident, Pat Wall grabbed the lead on the
ensuing green with Jimmy Amato and Will Dupree in his tracks. Following
several additional appearances of the yellow flag in the opening tours of
the extra distance contest, Wall was still in top with five laps recorded.
Behind Wall, a tight battle for second between Cale Ross and Kyle Kania was
occurring and Kania passed Ross on lap six for the position. With a third of
the race completed, the top three of Wall, Kania, and Ross were in close
quarters and Bob Lineman Jr. was trying to fend off David Burns for fourth.
On lap fourteen, Lineman's race night came to end when a mechanical issue
caused him to slow and stop on the track. When action resumed, Wall
maintained his lead with Kania and Ross still dueling for position. On lap
seventeen, Ross slipped by Kania to regain the runner-up spot. Following a
caution period for Jason Kosch on the eighteenth circuit, racing got back
underway with Wall still on top as Kania worked his way past Ross to retake
second. Over the final ten laps of the race, Wall survived two additional
restarts and continued to use the low groove of the dirt track to win his
third feature of the year. Kania finished in the runner-up spot with Ross
taking third. Burns was fourth and Joe Nappi netted fifth. Billy Osmun and
Cale Ross were the Hammer Sportsman heat race victors.
After a June 30 accident destroyed his race car, Dan Fleming returned to the
Crate Modified ranks and led from start to finish to win the 20-lap feature.
Using a car previously wheeled by Modified driver Ryan Godown, Fleming
racked up his second victory of the season. Rookie Kevin Borden Jr. was
second. Third went to Ryan Simmons. Jeremy Martino completed the race in
fourth and fifth was claimed by Eric Palmer. The Crate Modifieds qualifying
races went to Ryan Simmons and Kyle Kania.
Following a late race miscue by Jermain Godshall, Karl Freyer inherited the
lead and went on to snatch his second checkered flag of the season in the
20-lap main event for the Larry's Hot Rods & Harley's Northeast Wingless
Sprint Car. Godshall led the contest from the start until he brushed the
inside wall with four circuits remaining. Nick Wean followed Freyer across
the finish line. Rich Mellor was third. Lee Nardelli took fourth and fifth
place was grabbed by Duane Nixon. The heat races in the Larry's Hot Rods &
Harley's Northeast Wingless Sprint Cars division were won by Rich Mellor and
Karl Freyer.
For the second year in a row, Bill Liedtka topped the field in the 35-lap
Mr. Street Stock Classic. Marty Derr led the opening two tours before Jimmy
Avery took command. Following a restart, Liedtka became the new point man on
lap four. One revolution later, Jon Meyer passed Liedtka to assume the lead.
After another caution period, Liedtka returned to the top of the pack with
six laps completed. Liedtka fended off several challenges from Meyer in the
first half of the contest to gain his fourth win of the year. Meyer finished
in second. A strong run netted Mick Search third place. Fourth went to Avery
and Billy Wroble was fifth.
After taking the lead on the fourth circuit, Rob Longo paced the field the
remaining distance to capture the 15-lap 4-Cylinder race. Longo survived a
restart and challenge from Joe Garey Sr. with two laps to go to secure the
win in his first appearance at New Egypt Speedway this year. With Garey Sr.
finishing second, Ian Ashford, who led the first three laps, came home in
third. Brian Osborne and Bruce McClaren completed the top five.
On Saturday, August 4 at New Egypt Speedway, National Parts Supply presents

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.

DARLAND DOES IT AGAIN AT HAUBSTADT; WINDOM WEARS ISW CROWN
By: Richie Murray - USAC Media
Haubstadt, Indiana......July 28, 2018 - For Dave Darland, there aren't many things that one could say would surprise him. After all, the man's seen it all and done it all in USAC AMSOIL National Sprint Car racing throughout his storied career.
However, Saturday night in the NOS Energy Drink "Indiana Sprint Week" finale, "The People's Champ" did something that surprised even himself - winning at Tri-State Speedway - a track that has proven to be a bugaboo in his craw over the past three decades.
Meanwhile, the driver Darland passed to score Saturday's 20th career ISW victory was none other than Chris Windom, who came into the feature cradling a 15-point lead over reigning champ Kevin Thomas, Jr., meaning a fifth-place finish or better would secure the ISW title regardless of what KTJ did, no questions asked, no fuss, no muss.
Windom held the exclamation point for the bulk of the 30-lap main event from his outside front row starting spot. For a driver who astonishingly hasn't won an ISW race or title since 2011, what better way to plant the flag of punctuational nomenclature than by winning the feature and being fitted for the crown on the same night.
Chase Stockon dogged Windom like a Baskerville Hound as the two pounced toward lapped traffic by lap 10, Stockon did his dirty work through the middle while Windom scraped the lower groove in his Baldwin Brothers Racing/Fox Paving - AMSOIL/DRC/Claxton Mopar. Stockon was taking a peek around the outside of Windom when the first yellow flag fell for the stopped car of Daron Clayton in turn four.
A restart near midway saw Windom and Stockon separated by the lapped car of Mario Clouser, one who had the speed to run the quickest lap of the race at the time and was able to race wheel-to-wheel with Windom until clearing the scene and gaining his lap back.
A handful of laps later, Kokomo ISW winner Thomas Meseraull flipped nose-to-tail off turn four into the catch fencing while running ninth. He was okay, but not his car nor was Ballou's ride, which experienced severe trauma on the front end.
On the ensuing lap 19 restart, Darland surged from third to second past Stockon with a turn one slider. The race was on and here came pride up the backstretch in the form of the Goodnight Racing-Curb-Agajanian/Curb Records - The Pallet Builder/Maxim/Claxton Chevy.
Darland sheared into Windom's lead each trip around the quarter-mile dirt oval and, on lap 24, sharpened his blades and made the attack on Windom with a slider in turn one to snag the lead.
"I hadn't thought much about Chris running for the championship, but I knew he was" Darland admitted. "I didn't want to screw him, obviously. I gave him a clean slider. There's good sliders and there's bad. If you give the guy the option of either lifting or cutting down or fill the gap, that's the only thing you can do."
"I honestly wasn't expecting that big of a slider," Windom recalled. "The track started moving around a bit. I started running the bottom in the first half and I felt like it was slowing down quite a bit. It's tough leading here because you don't really know where to go. I tried to get to the top, but Dave got by us and his car was really hooked up tonight. It was going to be tough to run him down and I don't think I really had anything for him unless I really wanted to start pressuring him. I was looking at the big picture there and thought I was in a really good spot in second behind him. I just rode it out after I didn't think I had anything for him.
One lap later, on lap 25, Clouser's car was found spun backwards close to the outside wall between turns one and two, just in front of the leaders. Windom had to take evasive action, but escaped without any harm.
If being passed for the lead in the closing laps wasn't enough of a Pepto moment for Windom, surely the final five laps following the restart would need a little relief. However, Windom had his CPU set on Expert Mode and remained in check, unfazed as he locked up the second spot with KTJ in fourth, enough of a point cushion to add Indiana Sprint Week titlist to his ever-growing resume.
All the while, up front, Darland was putting the hurtin' on the field, locking up his second victory in a three-day span for his record-extending 62nd career USAC AMSOIL National Sprint Car feature win. Windom finished second ahead of Stockon, K. Thomas and C.J. Leary.
"I just won at Haubstadt," Darland exclaimed. "It's unbelievable! I never thought I'd say that. It's a great feeling to win here, let alone anywhere. Haubstadt is an exceptionally good feeling for me because we usually suck here. I had a great racecar and had to take advantage of it. You don't get a chance to win here very often. I just wanted to win, man, like Jason Johnson's famous line from Knoxville a couple years ago."
Windom followed up June's "Eastern Storm" title with a NOS Energy Drink "Indiana Sprint Week" championship in a little in over a span of a month to become just the third driver to accomplish both tasks in a single season (Bryan Clauson in 2013 and Robert Ballou in 2015). Windom was rewarded with a $5000 first-place prize check for winning ISW, plus his second custom, hand-made Bridgeport Rocker courtesy of John and Terri Youngs of Vincennes, Indiana.
"It's so special to do this again with (team owners) Kenny and Margo Baldwin" Windom beamed. "We really wanted to come out and win this race tonight, but looking at the big picture, we wanted another Sprint Week title. It took a huge effort from everybody this week to have the finishes we did. (Crew Chief) Derek Claxton had this thing great all week. It never had any failures. That's what it takes to come out here and win these titles. Everybody else on the team, and all our sponsors, we couldn't do it without all them. We're just really consistent right now. That's what it takes."
Contingency award winners Saturday night at Tri-State Speedway were Kevin Thomas, Jr. (Bell Helmets Fast Time Award), Thomas Meseraull (Simpson Race Products First Heat Winner), Tyler Courtney (Competition Suspension, Inc. Second Heat Winner), Stephen Schnapf (Chalk Stix Third Heat Winner), Chris Windom (Indy Race Parts Fourth Heat Winner), Brady Bacon (KSE Racing Products/B & W Auto Mart Hard Charger), Carson Short (Wilwood Brakes 13th Place Finisher), Daron Clayton (Roger & Barb Tapy 13th Fastest Qualifier) and Scotty Weir (Saldana Racing Products First Non-Transfer).

Kerry Madsen goes back-to-back with the All Star Circuit of Champions with win at Knoxville Raceway
KNOXVILLE, Iowa (July 28, 2018) - Kerry Madsen nearly counted himself out on Saturday night at Knoxville Raceway, forced to start from the inside of seven for the 25-lap main event after finishing third during his respective heat race. Although distraught over his starting position, the veteran proved himself wrong in a hurry, quickly advancing through the feature field to earn his second Arctic Cat All Star Circuit of Champions presented by Mobil 1 main event victory in as many days.
Now a nine-time winner with the All Star Circuit of Champions, the “Madman” sealed his fate on lap 20, making an impressive move around fellow sprint car veteran, Sammy Swindell, to cash-in for a $5,000 payday.
Defending All Star champion, Chad Kemenah, finished third at Knoxville Raceway, followed by “Blackjack” Brian Brown and Brooke Tatnell.
“We’ve been really quick lately, we just haven’t been able to catch any breaks,” Kerry Madsen explained in victory lane, driver of the GoMuddy.com/Big Game Treestands/No. 2M sprint car. “Last night was a great night for us, and tonight having to start 13th, I was like ‘oh man, we are done.’ But I’ll tell you what, Guy Forbrook has been working hard on this car. That thing was a rocketship tonight.”
Tea, South Dakota’s Matt Juhl and seven-time Knoxville Raceway track champion, Terry McCarl, led the feature field to green on Saturday night at the Sprint Car Capital of the World. Juhl earned the early advantage, leading McCarl, Brooke Tatnell, and Lynton Jeffrey by the flagstand for the first time. Juhl led the first three circuits before the main event’s first red flag appeared on lap four. Trey Starks was the driver involved; he walked away unharmed.
Green flag action resumed with Terry McCarl now on the back bumper of Juhl. McCarl chased Juhl for the next eight circuits before making his first, official bid for the top spot on lap 12. Although gaining the top spot with ease, Juhl had some visible programs, ultimately surrendering his position and pulling off into the infield.
After McCarl’s successful overtaking, the driver of the familiar No. 24 led for the next two circuits, instantly opening up to a three-second command. Unfortunately for T-Mac, the turn one cushion got the best of the Altoona, Iowa, native, eventually sending McCarl on a wild ride between turns one and two. As a result, the point position was left open for Sammy Swindell.
Swindell, who started seventh on the feature grid, led the field back to green with Brooke Tatnell and Chad Kemenah in tow. By that point, Kerry Madsen was full of life, already making his presence known well within the top-five, actually powering into the runner-up spot by the completion of lap 16.
Lap by lap, Madsen picked away at Swindell’s lead, shrinking his command from one second on lap 17, to a mere-.2 seconds by the completion of lap 19. By the time the pair raced into turn one on lap 20, Madsen was within striking distance and attempted to slide the Germantown, Tenn., native through corner number two. Although Madsen’s initial slider did not stick, his attempt to overtake the top spot in turns three and four did succeed, ultimately pulling away from Swindell as the pair drag raced off of corner number four.
From that point forward, it was all Madsen at the front of the field, quickly accelerating to an impressive command that stretched to nearly three seconds by lap 25.
“This is a fun team to be a part of,” Madsen explained. “I have really enjoyed the last year and a half. This is a great time of year to get good.”
Moving a little further east, the Arctic Cat All Star Circuit of Champions presented by Mobil 1 will conclude their four-race stretch through the Midwest with a stop on Sunday evening, July 29, at the 34 Raceway in West Burlington, Iowa. Just the third appearance in Series history, Tony Stewart’s All Stars will battle for a $5,000 top prize during their Sunday night stop at the 3/8-mile, semi-banked oval, officially concluding their four-track, three-state sweep through the central time zone.
34 Raceway in West Burlington, Iowa, will open pit gates at 2 p.m. on Sunday, July 29. A mandatory All Star Circuit of Champions drivers meeting will take shape at 5:45 p.m., followed by hot laps at 6:30 p.m. Those seeking additional news and notes should visit 34 Raceway live on the Web at www.34raceway.com.

HAMLIN SPEEDWAY ROCKS THE POCONOS WITH 8 FEATURE EVENT SHOW
Posted by: | CommentsHamlin, PA -Hamlin Speedway Rocks The Poconos With 8 Feature Event Show
By: Steve Pados, GA Motorsports Media
Hamlin Speedway Promoters Randy and Denise Smith were perfect in presentation of their eleventh show of the season on Saturday evening as an eight feature event had the small village of Hamlin, Pennsylvania absolutely rocking. A large crowd was on hand as good weather and a great roster of drivers worked the 1/5th Mile clay cushioned oval all night long with moves like Jagger and speed to burn. With the heavy duty rain that fell during the week the track was a tad slower than usual but the racing action was tight and just right for a Saturday evening of affordable entertainment. With the season heading into it's final chapter for 2018, each event is a must for those with aspirations for a title shot. The evening of speed was sponsored by the good folks at S&S Speedways Indoor Go Karts located in Stroudsburg, PA. (www.ssspeedways.com) Eight winners found their way to the RLE Towing and Recovery Winners Circle at the end of the evening.
Saturday night winners found Jared Silfee spot on as he captured his first Hamlin win in 2018 in the All Star Slingshot headliner. "TVD" Tanner VanDoren had the hot ticket and heavy right foot as he pedaled his way to his second win of the season in the Hampton RV & Trailer Sales Stage One Modifed feature run. The Super Slinger feature found "The Ambassador" Wes Hearn up to the task as he dominated the action in collecting his fifth feature win of the season. Morgan Rochelle made an appearance at the speedway and sizzled the clay in a wire to wire triumph for her second win of the season in the 270 Sprint main event. "The Zack Attack" Zack Bealer was the factor reactor in his Russ Thornton owned racer as wired the field to score his second straight win of the season in the Chad Wheeler Excavating Wingless 600 Sprint headliner. The JPA Masonry Rookie 600 Sprint division found "The Jersey Express" Dennis Chamberlain with the hot hand as he drove away from the drop of the green to score his first ever win in 2018. "Lil Miss" Shelby McLaughlin was fast from the get go and drove away from the field to collect her second win of the season in the Junior Slingshot finale. He missed the June event but was back in business on Saturday night and "KW Speed" Kevin White worked hard to make it happen in a stellar field of NASCAR Crew Guys to lead the final laps to leave the Poconos with a feature event in the NASCAR Crew Challenge.
Jared Silfee grabbed the lead at the start of the All Star Slingshot twenty lap main and that and a fast race car was all he needed to dominated the action and race to his initial win of the Hamlin season. Hitting 14.2 second laps with precision allowed Silfee to lead the entire event with room to spare. The returning Taylor Mills chased Silfee all of the way but he had his hands full with a determined Danny Buccafusca but it would be Mills in the runner-up role with Buccafusca in third. Troy Langendoerfer and Wes Hearn completed the top five. Heading up the second five was Dale Kober with Austin Silfee, Tanner Jones, the returning Marc Daniels and Scott Neary completing the top ten.
In the Hampton RV & Trailer Sales Stage One Modified run, "TVD" Tanner VanDoren was quick on the throttle and grabbed the early lead. Joel Smith wouls climb into second early and began to pressure VanDoren. The show became the youngster versus the veteran as the racing was close and as many as six drivers were vying for the lead throughout the twenty laps. VanDoren held his ground and went on to capture his second win of the season in the division. Joel Smith was second with Adam Buchel racing to the checkered flag to claim third and Jasper Ziegafuse fourth and Jeff Hineline completing the top five. The second five consisted of John Comandini, Amanda Buchel, Evan Civick, Cody Motto and Quarter Midget star Mark Evans.
The 270 Sprint feature found Morgan Rochelle in a speed zone as the young driving star took off from her outside starting position and drove away from the field at will to claim her second win of the season. Turning consistent laps at 12 seconds per lap, Rochelle won with Glenn Macomber second, Anthony Chrobak third in his best finish of the season on a part time basis, Jaocb by fourth, Alex Reinsmith and Kyle Ferrucci completing the field.
The Super Slingshot feature event found Wes Hearn with a front row start and the many time track champion found that was the ticket as he raced away early and would earn his fifth win of the season. Dale Kober kept pace and closed late but would settle for runner-up honors. The returning John Gilroy still knew the feast way around Hamlin and finished a close third with Roger Collins and Kevin White finishing off the top five. David Guest ran his best event of the season and headed up the second five with Wally Bell, Derek DeSilva, the returning Jeff Haduck and Mark Exeter completing the field.
Shelby McLaughlin raced into the lead from her front row start and would lead every lap to earn her second victory of the season at Hamlin. Brain Smith would finish as the runner-up with Joey Kalafut in third, Kasey Hufcut fourth and James Benz completing the top five. The second five found JJ Rice, Aidan Donaldson, Austin Homan, James Hendricks and the birthday girl Charlene Benz completing the top ten positions.
Earl Rice led the first three laps of the JPA Masonry Rookie Wingless 600 Sprint encounter. Sixth place starting Dennis Chamblerlain made great use of the upper channels of the speedway and would take over the lead on a fourth lap restart. Chamberlain was flawless from the top side as he built up a huge advantage over runner-up Zack Weisenfluh. Chamberlain cranked off some 12.4 second lap times to control the field even though Weisenfluh put on a great show to keep pace. Chamberlain would go on to score his first ever win at Hamlin with Weisenfluh the runner-up. Tony Parlanti was third with Noah Zielinski from a 17th place start in fourth and Brandon Nicholas from 14th to nail down a top five finish. The second five included Matt Zielinski, newcomer Fred Heinly, Richie Maguire, Ryan Lacoe and Rich Maguire.
Zack Bealer took the lead at the start of the headliner Chad Wheeler Excavating 600 Sprint event. Bealer was able to turn some 12.4 second laps early on but had Mick D'Agostino turning times just as quickly and looking to make a move each step of the way. Chad Sandt joined the duo and the event turned into a three car breakway with the driving stars attempting to out-maneuver each other at every turn. Bealer was on his A-game and would earn his second straight win of the season. D'Agostino, Sandt, the returning Jacob Balliet and Paul Richards Jr completed the top five. Duane White continued his great work at the speedway as he headed up the second five with Joseph Smith, Mack Brink, Tyler Lindsay and Jason Rochelle completing the top ten.
The NASCAR Crew Challenge part two was an interesting affair. David Cropps led the first twelve laps of the event but he and Brad Tunney got together in between turns one and two and both spun out. On the restart, upstart Dale Larson drove into the lead but a lap later Cropps was back out front. Cropps would lead through lap seventeen when Kevin White coaxed some additional speed out of his race car and he went on to capture the win. Dale Larson would finish in the runner-up role in his first NASCAR event with Jamie Edwards finishing third, Tony Consentino fourth and Eric Burgoyne completing the top five. The rest of the finishing order were David Cropps, Robert Miolen and Brad Tunney.
PEARL JAMS:
The hotly contested evening of racing entertainment was precise in every step of the way and even with a couple of breaks for track maintenance the staff kept moving the program along swiftly and the eight division show was completed at 9:58 PM.
The Junior Slingshot heats were won by Aidan Donaldson and Shelby McLaughlin. Ryan Stangle and Dennis Chamberlian captured the heat wins in JPA Masonry Rookie Wingless 600 Sprints. The 600 Sprints ran off two heats with Zack Bealer and Duane White claiming wins. The returning Taylor Mills, Scott Neary and Jared Silfee captured heat wins in the All Star Slingshots. Stage One Modified heats went to Joel Smith and Jasper Ziegafuse. The Super Slinger heat went to Roger Collins and Kyle Ferrucci captured the heat win for the 270 Sprints.
Newcomers and returnees who made their way to the speedway last night included Marc Daniels, Taylor Mills and Mike Lapicki in the All Star Slingshots. Quarter Midget star Mark Evans tried out the second Motto Motorsports entry. John Gilroy, Derek DeSilva, Jeff Haduck and Wally Bell were new Super Slinger entries. Evan VanValkenburg made his second Junior Slingshot start. Fred Heinly joined the 600 Sprints. Bob Hummer and Heinly made 600 Rookie starts. Jacob Balliet made his return to the speedway and left Hamlin with a top five finish in his return to action. Justin Mills
Some familiar faces from years past were at Hamlin last evening. "The Rocket" Ronnie Dunstan and his life companion Glenna Henry are up from Florida and took in the races and spent some time with their many friends at the speedway including the Smith Family and announcer Steve Pados. The Rochelle Family was in competition and Ronnie and Gleena were there to cheer them on. Former Hamlin racers Paul Quear, Tex Snyder were in attendance and former stock car and midget star Bing Metz was taking in the action.
A moment of silence and a fond remembrance was offered for Hamlin Speedway Videographer Barry Boyd who passed away July 19th at the age of 76.
A quick intermission period allowed the fans to ask the NASCAR Crew guys some questions regarding the work they do in the NASCAR garage and White, who is working on the Halmar-Freisen Team, offer to the fans some posters of Stewart Freisen and his truck ride.

David Gravel Tames Ransomville for Fifth Victory of 2018
RANSOMVILLE, NY – July 27, 2018 – David Gravel fought off multiple charges from Brad Sweet to lead all 30 laps and claim his fifth win of the 2018 World of Outlaws Craftsman Sprint Car Series 40th Anniversary Season at Ransomville Speedway. Sweet took the lead on two occasions but settled for second for the second consecutive year at Ransomville. Polesitter Donny Schatz completed the podium.
Donny Schatz won the Sears Craftsman Dash, earning the pole for the 30 Lap Feature, in search of his 16th victory of the year.
Action was halted on the opening lap after Paulie Colagiovanni went for a wild ride up and over the turn three and four wall. Colagiovanni was uninjured and walked away from the incident under his own power to a large roar from the massive Ransomville Speedway crowd.
David Gravel powered around Donny Schatz to pace the field down the backstretch and lead the opening lap. Brad Sweet went around Schatz to take second on Lap 3.
Another Red Flag halted action as Daryn Pittman got upside down battling for position inside the top ten on Lap 4. Pittman walked away from the incident under his own power.
A long stretch of Green Flag laps allowed Gravel and Sweet to reach heavy lapped traffic. The duo sliced and diced through slower cars littered around the 3/8th mile. Sweet cleared Gravel with a slide job on Lap 10, but Gravel turned back underneath to edge Sweet at the line.
As the duo continued to navigate traffic, Sweet edged in front of Gravel once again down the backstretch on Lap 17, but once again Gravel willed his CJB Motorsports No.5 back in front at the stripe.
One lap later the final caution of the night flew for an ailing Dan Bennett, taking the leaders out of traffic with 12 laps remaining. Gravel motored away with a clear track in front of him.
Gravel would be forced to clear a pair of lapped cars running side-by-side and he did so with relative ease, axing any chance of late race heroics from Sweet.
“I was being a little cautious, I blew a tire here last year and I didn’t want to do that again this year. When Brad showed his nose, I knew I had to step up my game and luckily, I was able to get back by him,” Gravel said in Victory Lane.
“We’ve been fast here the past couple of weeks, it’s good to get another win. This is our first win in a CJB house car, Barry [Jackson] has put a lot of hours in to make these things go fast,” Gravel added.
Sweet settled for second and complimented Gravel. “David did a nice job getting through traffic, especially with the lapped cars battling side-by-side. I think we were pretty equal with him, my guys gave me a great car,” Sweet said next to his Kasey Kahne Racing No.49.
After starting on the pole, Schatz was disappointed to fade to third, but made no excuses. “We weren’t good enough to compete for the win, you lick your wounds some days and come back stronger,” Schatz said before thanking his crew for their continued effort.
Kraig Kinser had a season-best fourth place finish with Logan Schuchart completing the top five.
The World of Outlaws Craftsman Sprint Car Series continues its 40th Anniversary Season Sunday, July 29 at Weedsport Speedway with the Empire State Challenge. Following that, the Series will head to Pevely, MO for two 55-lap, $20,000 to win Ironman 55 Features at Federated Auto Parts Raceway at I-55!

The Madman pockets $10,000 during All Star visit to Jackson Motorplex
JACKSON, Minn. (June 27, 2018) - The “Madman” Kerry Madsen put on a show during Friday’s fair race at Jackson (Minn.) Motorplex featuring the Arctic Cat All Star Circuit of Champions presented by Mobil 1, ultimately battling through a four-car fray near the midpoint of the 30-lap program to solidify a $10,000 payday. Madsen, who now owns eight All Star Circuit of Champions victories over the course of his storied career, started fourth on the feature grid and took the lead officially on lap 16, driving by race-long leader, Josh Baughman, with a power move on the cushion. The All Star victory was Madsen’s first of the 2018 season.
Clute, Texas’ Aaron Reutzel climbed six positions to finish second at the final checkers, followed by Chad Kemenah, Dave Blaney, and Carson Macedo.
In addition, fans from coast-to-coast will have the opportunity to relive the excitement from the state-of-the-art complex as MAVTV Motorsports Network, the official television home of the All Star Circuit of Champions in 2018, was on hand to capture all of the action. Air dates for the event will be released in the near-future.
“It feels good to put a night like tonight together and win in front of all of our home fans and sponsors,” Kerry Madsen said in victory lane, pilot of the GoMuddy.com/No. 2M sprint car. “It was a fun race there toward the middle, but we were able to get away from those guys and get the lead before the track got real narrow. This is a great way to start the weekend. I’m very proud to be a part of this team and happy for everyone involved.”
Although it was Madsen who earned the payday, it was Josh Baughman who earned the initial jump, taking command from the outside-pole position over Chad Kemenah and Dave Blaney. With a clear track ahead, Baughman was able to build a strong advantage in a hurry, escaping to a near-two second lead with just five laps in the books.
The pace was quick, but traffic soon halted Baughman’s momentum which allowed Kemenah, Blaney, and eventually Madsen, to close the gap. By lap 12, Baughman’s advantage was all but erased, now with four cars on his heels battling for positions two through five.
Blaney drove by Kemenah at the exit of turn four on lap 12 to take the runner-up spot, only to be negated the following circuit. By this point, Madsen was already applying pressure on the frontrunners, soon commencing a battle with Kemenah and Blaney for a podium position. As Kemenah drove back by Blaney to regain second, Madsen also slipped by the “Buckeye Bullet” to take third on lap 13, following that advancement with another move on lap 14 to scoot around Kemenah for second. Just two circuits later, Madsen was in command, actually driving around Baughman at the exit of turn four to officially lead lap 16.
Madsen’s lead grew in a hurry, but it was cut down just as fast as it was built. Jackson Speedway’s surface started to build a thin line of rubber around the bottom of the speedway, ultimately forcing all competitors to move to the bottom groove. Trying to take advantage of the situation, Aaron Reutzel, who followed Madsen through the chaos to claim second over Kemenah and Blaney on lap 19, tried to apply pressure on the “Madman” while racing through the narrow groove, but time was out. Madsen crossed under the final checkers with a one second lead.
“It was important to get to the front in a hurry and find the abrasiveness around the bottom of the speedway,” Madsen continued. “I think we were all a little worried that the track was going to do that. It all worked out in the end.”
With two events down and two to go, the Arctic Cat All Star Circuit of Champions presented by Mobil 1 will continue their four-race trek through the Midwest with a one-night stand at the Sprint Car Capital of the World - Knoxville Raceway in Knoxville, Iowa, on Saturday evening, July 28. Tony Stewart’s All Stars have made 16 prior appearances at the world-famous Marion County Fairgrounds, but only two repeat winners have been crowned. The last All Star visit to Knoxville Raceway took place in 2011 with Kevin Swindell taking the final checkers.
Knoxville Raceway in Knoxville, Iowa, will open pit gates at 3 p.m. on Saturday, July 28. A mandatory All Star Circuit of Champions drivers meeting will take shape at 6 p.m., followed by hot laps at 6:45 p.m. Those seeking additional news and notes should visit Knoxville Raceway live on the Web at www.knoxvilleraceway.com.
