VANHORN AND ROSS ARE THE TOP GUNSLINGERS AT NEW EGYPT SPEEDWAY'S GARDEN
STATE GUNFIGHT 2
New Egypt, NJ (June 28, 2018) - At New Egypt Speedway's Garden State
Gunfight 2, David VanHorn scored the win in the Modified feature to take the
top prize of $6,000. Cale Ross topped the field in the Crate Modifieds vs.
Open Sportsman contest.
As the green flag waved in the 60-lap Modified feature, Frank Cozze fired to
the front of the field with Duane Howard, Matt Stangle, Kevin Vaclavicek and
Jim Britt next in line. With four laps completed and after a few cautions,
Cozze was still setting the pace with David VanHorn in second, Danny Bouc in
third and Howard slipping back to fourth. On the sixth circuit, a multi-car
tangle in the fourth turn caused the racing action to stop. On the ensuing
restart, VanHorn shot his way past Cozze and into the lead with Bouc,
Howard, and seventeenth place starting Ryan Krachun in tow. VanHorn quickly
began to speed away from his foes. By the fifteenth circuit, VanHorn had a
very comfortable advantage and was approaching the back of the field. Four
tours later, VanHorn's large lead evaporated as John McClelland's ride
slowed on the track and stopped in turn one. When racing resumed, VanHorn
repelled Cozze's attempt to regain the top running spot with Howard zipping
by Bouc for third and Ryan Godown passing Krachun for fifth. Once again,
VanHorn began to distance himself from the field. When the caution waved for
the fuel stop at the halfway point, VanHorn's edge was a full straightaway
over Cozze. As the green flag waved following the mid-race stop for
refueling, VanHorn outdueled Cozze to keep his lead with Bouc retaking third
place from Howard. With twenty laps left in the feature, VanHorn had built a
comfortable advantage over the pack. His lead continued to increase as he
was beginning to approach lap traffic in the final ten circuits. On lap
fifty-six, fifth place running Ryan Godown slowed down and the yellow lights
illuminated for the final time. On the single file restart, VanHorn held off
Cozze. Over the final revolutions, VanHorn was not challenged and crossed
the finish line to claim his first win of the year and the sixth in his
career at New Egypt Speedway. Cozze's strong run netted him second place.
Bouc finished in third with Howard claiming fourth. Thirteenth place
starting Brandon Grosso completed the race in fifth. Mike Mahaney, Matt
Stangle and John McClelland were victorious in the Modified heat races. The
consolation contest was taken by Brian Papiez.
In the 30-lap Crate Modified vs. Open Sportsman feature, Cale Ross led from
start to finish to claim his second career checkered flag. Billy Osmun, who
started in seventh, chased Ross throughout the event and finished in second
place. Louden Reimert was rewarded with third place following an impressive
effort. Fourth went to Joe Toth and Pat Wall came home in fifth. The winners
in the qualifying events were Shaun Ratchford, Louden Reimert and Bill
Liedtka. Will Dupree won the consolation race.
New Egypt Speedway rolls back into action on Saturday, June 30 with
Throwback Night. Adult admission to the grandstand on this special night
will only be $10 and hot dogs will only be $1. The racing schedule will see

Racing Returns To Hamlin Speedway June 30th
Posted by: | CommentsHAMLIN SPEEDWAY NEWS
By: Steve Pados, GA Motorsports Media
Hamlin, PA- Racing Returns To The Hamlin Speedway This Saturday Evening, June 30th
Hamlin Speedway, the premier racing facility in the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania, will spring back into action this coming Saturday night, June 30th with a seven division race card. The event will act as a prelude to the Annual VETSTOCK “Firecracker 100” that will take place on the following weekend July 7th. The speedway took a weekend off last week to allow families an opportunity to enjoy some quality vacation time together away from the rigors of racing and to re-charge their batteries for the start of the second half of the racing season at Hamlin. The Hamlin Speedway continues to enjoy great racing action in 2018 and the loyal band of racing heroes have created a star base of a driving roster that has just been over the top with new drivers emerging each week to take on the regulars on the newly clayed, multi-grooved raceway. The racing action on Saturday night will allow the drivers the opportunity to get back to their “A-Game” as the speedway heads into the second half of the racing season.
For the Slingshot driving stars at the speedway, this will give them a chance to make sure their equipment is ship-shape and top notch as they prepare for the century grind that will await on July 7th. A big win or solid finish on Saturday will propel the drivers into the big dollar event. Through six events in 2018, the All Star Slingshot features have produced six different winners. From the solid core of driving talent at the speedway, the drivers are very much of the talent that surrounds them so the next couple of shows at the speedway may find the shining star breaking free from his rivals. Brett Bieber, Troy Langendoerfer, Austin Silfee, Scott Neary, Tyler Banks and Mike Fogler have claimed wins thus far in Slingshot action.
The remaining six divisions have battles of their own going on and all will be seeking their own breakout event to place them at the top of the heap in their division. The racing at Hamlin in 2018 has been spectacular with a quality weekly roster that has produced a star studded field of racing heroes, creating the excitement and the buzz of what small car division racing is all about. Hamlin Speedway is a transitioning track with drivers transitioning in and out as they make their way into other divisions of the sport that will take them away from where they have made their initial mark in racing. To replace them, new stars have emerged each year at Hamlin from the quarter midget and go kart ranks to take on the speedway regulars on the multi-grooved and highly competitive raceway.
The upcoming VetStock Firecracker 100 (Hamlin Hundred) event on July 7th is just twelve days away and anyone who would like to get involved with this great promotion for this event should contact the S&S Speedways at: 570-420-5500. Everyone can gain additional information by checking out the VetStock website at: www.VetStockUSA.com

For more information regarding the Chinese auction or the lap sponsorship please contact Allesson Rode through email at: allyrode@msn.com or by phone at: 570-460-5977.
Make sure to check the Hamlin Speedway website or Facebook page for any additional information. Pit Gates open at the speedway at 3 PM; Drivers Meeting at 5:45; Hot Laps are at 6:00 and the racing begins at 7 PM sharp. Admission Prices for regular shows are: Adults $10.00; Senior Citizens $5.00 Children under 6 are Free

Tilcon, Ron Brown Hauling, JPA Masonry, Chad Wheeler Excavating, RLE Towing and Recovery, RockAuto.com, S&S Speedways and Yankowski Enterprises are all part of the advertising family at the speedway and we graciously thank them for their support.

IMS TO BUILD DIRT TRACK, HOST LUCRATIVE USAC MIDGET EVENT SEPT. 5-6

IMS TO BUILD DIRT TRACK, HOST LUCRATIVE USAC MIDGET EVENT SEPT. 5-6
INDIANAPOLIS, Tuesday, June 26, 2018 - The Indianapolis Motor Speedway will add to its luster as the Racing Capital of the World with the construction of a quarter-mile dirt track inside its famous oval, hosting a United States Auto Club Midget National Championship event during Big Machine Vodka 400 at the Brickyard Powered by Florida Georgia Line race week in early September.
Race week for the Big Machine Vodka 400 at the Brickyard powered by Florida Georgia Line will feature an even wider variety of thrilling action with the USAC P1 Insurance Midget National Championship competing in a two-night spectacular event, the Driven2SaveLives BC39, on Wednesday, Sept. 5 and Thursday, Sept. 6. The event honors late USAC champion and three-time Indianapolis 500 starter Bryan Clauson and increases awareness of Indiana Donor Network and Driven2SaveLives.
The Driven2SaveLives BC39 will include a unique format ending with a 39-lap feature Sept. 6 in the richest Midget racing event in recent history. The event will feature more than $70,000 in purse and incentives, including a $15,000 winner's purse - the largest in Midget racing.
Dirt and asphalt racers from around the country have expressed interest in the event, with a large and diverse field - including NASCAR Cup Series drivers - expected to compete.
"This is an exciting new chapter of the longtime relationship between USAC and the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and reinforces the connection between short-track racing and this facility," IMS President J. Douglas Boles said. "The Speedway truly is The Greatest Race Course in the World, and adding a dirt track will create even more opportunities for fans to enjoy the magic of IMS. We can't wait to see some of the best drivers and teams in America compete here during Brickyard race week."
Construction of The Dirt Track at IMS, located inside Turn 3 of the oval, started last week with the first loads of Indiana clay arriving for grading. Concrete walls and safety fencing will be constructed during the summer, and portable lights will illuminate the track.
Reece O'Connor of Kokomo (Indiana) Speedway is overseeing the track design and layout and supervising the construction. Allegiant International, a multinational advisory and consultancy firm based in Indianapolis, is facilitating the project.
The United States Auto Club and IMS were synonymous for many years after the sanctioning body was formed in 1956 by IMS owner Tony Hulman. USAC was the sanctioning body for the Indianapolis 500 from 1956 through 1997.
"Over the years, the Indianapolis Motor Speedway has played such a critical part not only in the formation but also the successful growth of the United States Auto Club," USAC President/CEO Kevin Miller said. "Our roots originated at IMS, and our passion continues to reside here. To have USAC return to hosting a race at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway is a historic and exciting new chapter for our Midget series. We are beyond thrilled for both our competitors and fans to add this race to our 2018 calendar."
Ticket prices will range from $35-50 and go on sale in mid-July. Camping also will be available. Visit www.ims.com/bc39 for more information about this event and to learn when tickets become available.
Indiana Donor Network, which oversees and coordinates organ, tissue and eye donation across the state, launched Driven2SaveLives in April 2016 with Verizon IndyCar Series driver Stefan Wilson to promote donation and transplantation awareness around the 100th Running of the Indianapolis 500. At the time, the campaign honored Stefan's late brother, IndyCar race winner Justin Wilson, who died in August 2015 from injuries he sustained in a race crash and saved five lives as an organ donor.
Three-time USAC Midget and two-time USAC Sprint Car national champion Clauson, a versatile and beloved driver, died in August 2016 following a race accident. As a registered donor, he went on to save five lives as an organ donor and continues to heal the lives of countless others as a tissue donor. In January 2017, Indiana Donor Network partnered with Clauson-Marshall Racing and expanded Driven2SaveLives into dirt track racing in honor of Clauson.

THUNDER ON THE HILL RACING SERIES
NAPA AUTO PARTS GEARS UP FOR THUNDER SERIES SHOW. . . .
GREG HODNETT FIRST TO ENTER $7,000 TO WIN 410 SPRINT SPEED WEEK SERIES AT GRANDVIEW, TUESDAY, JULY 3, 410 SPRINT & MODIFIED DOUBLEHEADER
BECHTELSVILLE, PA (June 25, 2018) – The fastest cars on dirt, the 410 Sprint Cars will invade the “hill” for the 24th running of the Pennsylvania Sprint Car Speed Week Series at the Grandview Speedway on Tuesday night, July 3 and Greg Hodnett is an early entry for this event.
Hodnett is a six-time Thunder on the Hill Series Champion and he owns nine Thunder Series feature wins. Hodnett is the only driver to win the Thunder Series Championship over four consecutive years from 2012 to 2015. Hodnett, from Memphis, TN and resides in Spring Grove, PA will again be wheeling the Mike Heffner #27 when he invades Grandview Speedway to chase the $7,000 payday in the 35 lap feature on Tuesday night, July 3.
This always crowd-pleasing doubleheader event is part of the NAPA Auto Parts Thunder on the Hill Racing Series and is presented by Pioneer Pole Buildings. Joining the 410 Sprints will be the popular NASCAR 358 Modifieds competing in qualifying events leading up to the $3,000 to win 30 lap feature that is a NASCAR point race.
In last year’s event, NASCAR driver Kyle Larson made a rare dirt track appearance, his first visit to Grandview Speedway and came home the winner. Expected entries to challenge Hodnett include Freddie Rahmer Jr., Ryan Smith, Danny Dietrich, Alan Krimes, Brandon Rahmer, JJ Grasso, Lucas Wolfe, Brock Zearfoss and Ryan Taylor to name a few.
The Grandview Speed Week event features a 35-lap Sprint Car A-Main -- the fifth race of a ten-race stretch for the winged warriors. Drivers from across the region will compete for a $7,000 winner’s share. Tenth place will pay $1,050 with $400 to start the A-main. Non-qualified cars will be rewarded with $125.
Time Trials for the 410 Sprint Cars will open the show on Tuesday, July 3 at 7:30 PM. The pit gates will open at 2:30 PM and the Grandstands will open at 5:00 PM. Fans can up-close to the drivers and their mighty machines with the Low Down and Dirty Meet and Greet kicking off at 5:00 PM.
General Admission Adult tickets are $28, Children ages 6-11 are $10, and Under 6 is Free of charge! Pit admission is $35, and no license is required.
With no regular Sprint Car action, drivers from all of the central Pennsylvania hotbeds are anxious to get on the neutral ground that Grandview provides.
