Blane Heimbach Prevails With Lucas Oil American Sprint Car Series At Selinsgrove Speedway
SELINSGROVE, Penn. (May 5, 2018) Becoming the 141st winner with the Lucas Oil American Sprint Car Series presented by Sawblade.com, three-time Selinsgrove Speedway track champion, Blane Heimbach, put on a dominating performance to pocket $5,000, plus a $500 bonus thanks to Mach1 Chassis, at Selinsgrove Speedway on Saturday night.
Beating the rain by minutes to wrap up the 11 Oaks Farm Battle of the Groves, Heimbach was greeted by roaring applause as he exited his car on the front stretch. An emotional moment for Blane, the driver of the Goff Racing No. 12 choked back tears when he addressed the crowd and dedicated the race to his friend, Craig Vanhorn.
"That race meant more to me than anyone here will know. I lost a crew member that has been with me since I started, and this is the first Sprint Car race I've won without him here. I'm not easy to work with or for, but I've had a group of guys that have helped me for a long time, and this winter just seemed like it was trial after trial with people having health issues, then losing one of my best guys, we've just started piecing together a new crew," stated Blane.
"After working with somebody for 20 years, you don't even have to really talk. He knows what you want, and you know what he's going to do so working through that, it's been troublesome at times. I really took for granted over the years how good I had it and this just makes me appreciate what they've done, and how long they've been with me."
Earning the front row with pole sitter, Seth Bergman, through the Heat/Qualifier format, Heimbach jetted into the lead through the first and second turns as Seth was left to fend off Trey Starks. Unable to hold off the charge of the Textron Off-Road No. 44s, the caution gave the Washington native a shot at the lead on Lap 3 but was unable to mount the charge.
Working into slower traffic by the 10th revolution, the Mach1 Chassis No. 12 slipped past the backmarkers with ease. Opening to nearly three seconds over Starks, the No. 44s was able to chip away to bring the advantage to 1.967 seconds at the drop of the checkered flag.
Starks best career finish with the Lucas Oil American Sprint Car Series presented by Sawblade.com, the Champion Brands No. 44s was joined on the podium by Davie Franek, who raced through the field from 10th. Posting his seventh top-five finish in just as many starts with the National Tour, Mark Smith crossed fourth in the Mach1 Chassis No. M1. Slipping back from the pole, Seth Bergman completed the top-five and reclaimed the top spot in the Lucas Oil American Sprint Car Series presented by Sawblade.com driver standings.
Derek Locke in sixth was followed by Roger Crockett. Moving up from 12th, Scott Bogucki finished eighth with J.J. Grasso advancing nine positions to pick up the CP-Carrillo Hard Charger of the Night. Blake Hahn rounded out the night's top-ten.
A field of 41 drivers on hand dropped into five Heat Races with Ryan Kissinger, Seth Bergman, Mark Smith, Blake Heimbach, and Mike Walter grabbing wins. Three Hoosier Tire Qualifiers were won by Robbie Stillwaggon, Roger Crockett, and Eddie Strada. A pair of BMRS B-Mains went to Ryan Smith and J.J. Grasso. One point based provisional was used by Skylar Gee. A promoters provisional was awarded by Chad Layton.
The Lucas Oil American Sprint Car Series presented by Sawblade.com returns to competition with another new facility on the lineup at Humboldt Speedway in Humboldt, Kan. on Wednesday, May 9, followed by the return to Lakeside Speedway on Thursday, May 10 for the McCarthy Auto Group KC Klassic.

HAMLIN SPEEDWAY NEWS
Posted by: | CommentsHamlin, PA - Hamlin Speedway Beats The Rain With A Seven Feature Race Card Highlighting The Action
By: Steve Pados, GA Motorsports Media
The successful Hamlin Speedway promotional team of Randy and Denise Smith presented their second event of the 2018 season on Saturday evening and another spectacular racing card entertained the loyal fans with seven divisions of racing talent that filled the Hamlin Speedway speed arena last evening. The exciting racing action produced a great crowd for the new season and 100 entries came out to do battle in the Pocono Mountains and the racers gave it everything they had and then some as they maneuvered their sleek hot rods around the tricky-quick and perfectly manicured 1/5 mile newly clay cushioned arena. When all was said and done, the S&S Speedways sponsored event saw many familiar faces smiling in the RLE Towing and Recovery winners circle and their pockets full of jingle from their solid racing experiences. Right after the final checkered flag fell it began to rain.
The seven feature event card found the first special event of the season as the Chad Wheeler Excavating Wingless 600 Sprint division time- shortened 28-lap feature attraction found former champion Kyle "The Hot" Lick returning to action and capturing the win after another former champion "The Conductor" Bobby Butler found his car amiss in the final laps. "The Sandman" Troy Langendoerfer returned to action and captured the All Star Slingshot Feature attraction. Circleville, New York's Kasey Hufcut earned his first ever win at Hamlin in the Junior Slingshot finale. "The Oxford Express" Dale Kober and "The Ambassador" Wes Hearn put on a whale of a show in the Super Slingers feature with Kober winning the event. "The Fearless One" Kyle Ferrucci captured his first Winged 270 Sprint feature of the season. "The Nickel Man" Joel Smith was all business as he raced to his second consecutive win in the Hampton RV and Trailer Stage One Modified run in a close battle with. Joe Nemeth hustled his way around the Hamlin Speedway to capture the JPA Masonry sponsored Rookie 600 Sprint feature event.
The Junior Slingshots toured the Hamlin oval quickly in their 20-lap feature excursion. The "Stars of Tomorrow" rarely disappoint and Ashton DeWitt grabbed the lead at the start with Kasey Hufcut breathing down his tailpipe. Hufcut was quick and took control of the lead on lap seven and opening night winner James Benz moved into the runner-up role. Hufcut raced to the win, his first at Hamlin, while Benz finished in the runner-up role. Jasper Ziegafuse started ninth and enjoyed a stout outing with a third place run. Adam Buchel and Abby Yates completed the top five. Shelby McLaughlin drove to a sixth place finish with Aidan Donaldson seventh after a spin sent him to the rear early in the event. Brian Smith, Joey Kalafut and Charlene Benz completed the top ten.
Dale Kober took command of the Super Slinger feature at the drop of the green flag and led all of the way despite the persistence of Wes Hearn who dogged him all of the way through the twenty lap event. Roger Collins was third with Greg Zellman and David Guest completing the top five.
The Chad Wheeler Excavating Wingless 600 Sprint feature was hell's bells from the word go. Bobby Butler enjoyed a pole start and made the most of it start of the event. Numerous restarts were needed during the event but in the green flag conditions Butler, Damon Paul, Kyle Lick, Paul Richards, Joseph Smith and Chad Sandt kept knocking on the "butler's door." The attrition was high but the racing was my oh my as the leaders matched moves like Jagger. Some top challengers began to fall with Alex Bright out early, followed by Joseph and Joel Smith and Richards.
Reigning track champion Mick D'Agostino became a player and a late challenge came from Jacob Balliet. With 23-laps in the books, Butler began having problems with his racer. He gave way to Kyle Lick who would go on to capture the win in a great return to the speedway. "The Gingerbread Man" Damon Paul gave it all he had with a gutsy, hard fought runner-up finish. Colin White finished third with D'Agostino coming in fourth and Jacob Balliet completing the top five. Chad Sandt headed up the next five with the disappointed Butler, Tyler Lindsay, Mack Brink and Zack Bealer rounding out the top ten.
Joe Nemeth had the hot hand and a very fast racer as he grabbed the lead at the start of the JPA Masonry sponsored Rookie 600 Sprint main and though he withstood a few restarts he dominated the event to capture his first win of the season at Hamlin. Nemeth turned some of the fastest times of the night as he consistently ran 12.2 second laps. Noah Zielinski raced hard to finish and during the event did turn a 12.161 second lap for the fastest time of the evening. Ryan Lacoe was steady with a third place run while Zack Weisenfluh and Earl Rice completed the top five.
John Comandini was a firecracker at the start of the Hampton RV and Trailer sponsored Stage One Modified finale as he took control of the lead from his front row start and quickly ran to daylight. By the midway point, all eyes were on Joel Smith as he began to get faster with each passing lap. Lap-14 proved to be the Achilles Heel for Comandini as Smith got around him and assumed control of the event. Smith would drive on for his second straight win in 2018 with Comandini finishing in the runner-up role. Matt Massoney was third in the Motto Motorsports rental car. Amanda Buchel raced hard to nail down fourth place and Joel Price completed the top five. Tanner VanDoren headed up the second five with Jeff Hineline, Evan Civick, and John Bachetti Jr and Sr completing the top ten.
Jared Silfee took the lead at the start of the headliner for the All Star Slingshot race cars and maintained a small advantage early on despite constant pressure from Troy Langendoerfer, Austin Silfee and Tyler Banks. A seventh lap restart allowed Langendoerfer to restart alongside of Jared Silfee and when the green flag dropped it would be Langendoerfer winning the drag race on the front stretch to claim the lead. School was out at that point for the rest of the field as Langendoerfer put on a clinic running consistent 13.5's and 13.6's for the remainder of the laps to claim the win. Jared Silfee, Austin Silfee, Dale Kober and Wes Hearn would complete the top five. Scott Neary headed up the second five with Ashley Kober, Tanner VanDoren, John Kendall and Mike Fogler closing out the top ten.
Kyle Ferrucci jumped into the lead at the start of the headliner for the Winged 270 Sprints and quickly distanced himself from the rest of the field as he led all twenty laps to lay claim to his first win of the season. Reigning track champion Glenn Macomber would finish second after battling with Don Schmidt for most the event. Schmidt finished third with JJ Uliana and Anthony Chrobak nailing down top five finishes.
Pearl Jams:
Once again Promoter Randy Smith and crew had the speedplant in top form and the racers responded well as they tried out the multi-channeled speedway throughout the night's events. The effort produced some excellent side by side and more wide racing action.
Heat races were claimed by Aiden Donaldson and Shelby McLaughlin in the Junior Slingshots. Kyle Ferrucci captured the 270 Sprint heat. Stage One Modified heats were won by Joel Smith and Jeff Hineline. Rookie 600 Heats were claimed by Ryan Lacoe, Jack Hanna and Dennis Stawinsky. The two All Star Slingshot heats went to Mike Fogler and Troy Langendoerfer.

Mark Exeter was a first timer for the Super Slingers but had trouble during hot laps and withdrew from racing for the evening. Tyler Lindsay and Nick Corazzi were newcomers to the 600 Sprint ranks while it was great to see Kyle Lick, Alex Bright, Zack Bealer, Brett Altemose and Mike Linderman return to the Hamlin clay. Cole Stangle made his first appearance of the season in the Rookie 600 Sprint ranks. Cole has been racing Sportsman racers at Accord Speedway. Rich Maguire Sr joined the Rookie 600 Ranks. John Kendall and Andrew Turpin were new racers for the All Star Slingshot division. Anthony Chrobak and JJ Uliana were new additions to the 270 Sprint ranks.
Top timers for the evening were Dale Kober in the Super Slingers with a 14.331 as opposed to Wes Hearn's time at 14.366. Damon Paul was fast timer in the 600 Sprints with a 12.234 second time over Joseph Smith's 12.374 and Butler with a 12.377.

KRESSLEY, ARNOLD AND TODOROW WIN FEATURES AND BEAT MA NATURE AT GRANDVIEW SATURDAY
BECHTELSVILLE, PA. May 6, 2018 . . . Racing action on Saturday night at Grandview Speedway was interrupted by a few rain delays, but track crew and management dealt with the situation and through the cooperation of all drivers and everyone involved, a complete show was presented and Ma Nature was defeated.
Brett “The Threat” Kressley, who captured his last win at the 1/3-mile oval on September 9, 2017, jumped into the lead on the 17th lap restart and withstood runner-up Jeff Strunk’s challenges to post his first win of the season in the 30-lap T.P. Trailers NASCAR 358 Modified feature.
In the 25-lap Sportsman feature Brad Arnold inherited the lead when leader Dylan Swinehart was put back two positions prior to the fifth lap restart for aggressive driving. Arnold, who suffered a blown engine in warmups back on April 21 and couldn’t compete in the events, went on to hold off the bids of fast approaching Craig Whitmoyer for his first win of the year. Arnold last stood in the winner’s circle on June 25, 2016.
Steve Todorow scored his second career victory by taking hoe the checkered in the 25-lap Late Model feature. His last win was September 3, 2016.
All three feature winners received monetary awards courtesy of T.P. Trailers and VP Racing Fuels presented merchandise bonuses if any of the winners used their products. In order to receive the items the winners had to meet the necessary requirements. The Dan’s Deli half-way hoagie awards went to Brett Gilmore, Modified; Brad Arnold, Sportsman and Steve Todorow, Late Model.
All three feature winners along with another star studded field of Modifieds, Sportsman and Late Models will return to action on Saturday night at 7:30 p.m.
Brett Gilmore outgunned polesitter Dan Waisempacher for the early lead in the Modified main event trailed by Joe Fanelli, Mike Kellner and Ray Swinehart.
Ray Swinehart brought out the first caution on the seventh lap when he broke in the fourth turn. Doug Manmiller, who had nowhere to go, spun to avoid contact. It was still B. Gilmore showing the way when action resumed being chased by Waisempacher, Kressley, Fanelli and Strunk.
Kressley advanced to second to put his bids in for the top spot on the 11th lap restart needed when Duane Howard stopped in the fourth turn with a flat tire.
The red was thrown on lap 17 after Waisempacher, who was falling back positions as the race progressed, rode the first turn outside wall on his roof. He was uninjured. On the next attempt Kressley got a run on B. Gilmore coming off the third turn to take over first. Gilmore, trying to regain first, spun in the second turn in front of the others to regroup the field and void the restart.
Once again the restart had to be called back when a multi-car accident blocked turns one and two. Finally action resumed with Kressley at the head of the pack, but by this time Strunk, Kellner, Ryan Grim and Craig VonDohren completed the top five.
It seemed like every time Strunk had momentum going and was reeling Kressley in the yellow came out. This time it was when Kyle Weiss spun along the front chute on lap 19. Kressley wasted no time keeping Strunk at bay on the restart.
Everyone got another opportunity to overtake Kressley with five laps to go after another flat tire caused Howard to stop in turn four. Kressley was determined to keep the competition behind him and that’s what he did until the checkered fell on his third career win. Chasing him across the line were Strunk, Grim, VonDohren and Mike Gular, who started deep in the pack in the 24th spot after qualifying through the consi.
Ray Swinehart, VonDohren, B. Gilmore and Kressley were the heat winners. Consi winners were Tim Buckwalter and Jared Umbenhauer, who later scratched out of the feature before it started.
Nathan Mohr set the pace for two laps in the Sportsman feature before Louden Reimert stopped in turn three for the third lap caution. On the restart Swinehart made his way to the front from third and Mohr fell to third since Arnold followed through for second at the same time.
A fourth turn tangle on lap five that involved Mark Kemmerer, Nathan Brinker and Reimert caused another yellow. Before action resumed officials placed Swinehart back two spots for an earlier incident.
This turn of events relined the pack with Arnold the new leader followed by Mohr, Swinehart and Jack Butler.
Behind Arnold the battle for second brewed between Butler and Craig Whitmoyer. This allowed Arnold to build up a comfortable lead.
After a heated dual, Whitmoyer finally cleared Butler and took chase after Arnold.
No one could reel Arnold in to pressure him and he scored his third career win. Finishing second was Whitmoyer followed by Butler, Brad Brightbill and Brad Grim.
Heats were won by Butler, Ryan Beltz and Arnold. Mike Lisowski won the consi.
In the 25-lap Late Model feature Drew Weisser took the early lead and set the pace for seven laps until he went too high coming off the fourth turn an before he regained control, Todorow and Wayne Pfeil got past him for first and second respectively.
Behind Todorow and Pfeil, Weisser, Danny Snyder and Lou Egrie diced for positions.
Pfeil challenged Todorow on occasion, but Todorow always pulled away.
Once Todorow took control he never looked back and he was able to chalk up his second career win trailed by Pfeil, Snyder, Egrie and Chuck Schutz.

BOUC BESTS THE MODIFIED FIELD AT NEW EGYPT SPEEDWAY
New Egypt, NJ (May 6, 2018) - During the Round of 24 for the May Madness
Modified Series, Danny Bouc bested the Modified field at New Egypt Speedway.
The Hammer Sportsman feature was won by Pat Wall. Joe Toth took the
checkered flag in the Crate Modified main event. Eric Jennings scored the
victory in the Larry's Hot Rods & Harley's Northeast Wingless Sprint Car
feature. The 8-lap Lyons Construction/Metal Fab Rookie Sportsman feature was
taken by Ryan Heim. Joe Garey, Sr. claimed the top prize in the 4-Cylinder
race.
As the 30-lap Modified feature got underway, JR Fulper jumped out to the
front with Steve Davis and Brian Papiez next in line. Eighth place starting
Danny Bouc quickly began to move forward and was in second place with five
tours completed. On the sixth circuit, a slowing Bryan Kuhl brought out the
first yellow flag. When the green flag waved again, Bouc blasted by Fulper
to take the lead with David VanHorn driving into third. VanHorn, who started
the contest in ninth, slipped by Fulper on lap nine to take over second.
Following another caution period on the ninth revolution, Bouc held off
VanHorn to maintain his advantage with Billy Pauch, Jr. taking third from
Fulper. After a trio of cautions at the halfway point, Bouc was still pacing
the field over VanHorn and Pauch, Jr. with Ryan Godown running in fourth
after starting the race in twenty-fifth position using a backup car. Over
the next several laps, Bouc was feeling pressure from VanHorn for the lead
while Pauch, Jr. and Godown were dueling for third. With five laps remaining
and Bouc approaching slower traffic, the yellow lights illuminated for Brian
Roemer. During this appearance of the caution flag, Ryan Godown relinquished
fourth place as he visited his pit stall. With the restart marred by a
multi-car tangle, green flag racing finally resumed with Bouc retaining his
edge over VanHorn and Pauch, Jr. Over the final laps, Bouc went unchallenged
to win his ninth career Modified checkered flag at New Egypt Speedway. With
the victory, Bouc has automatically qualified for the final round of the May
Madness Modified Series. With VanHorn taking second, Pauch, Jr. came home in
third. Eleventh place starting Ryan Krachun finished fourth. Brandon Grosso
came from fifteenth to complete the race in fifth. Steve Davis, Danny Bouc
and Brian Papiez were victorious in the heat races for the Modifieds.
Pat Wall celebrated his birthday by winning the 20-lap Hammer Sportsman
feature for the second time this season. Joseph Brown led the opening
thirteen tours before the eighth place starting Wall assumed command of the
race. Bob Lineman, Jr. was second with Art Liedl finishing third. Bill
Liedtka was fourth and David Burns rounded out the top five. Hammer
Sportsman qualifying events were won by Pat Wall and Billy Osmun.
With the time limit reached in the scheduled 20-lap Crate Modified feature,
Joe Toth was scored as the winner with eighteen circuits completed. Toth
took the lead from Paul Hartwig on the second circuit and paced the field
for the remainder of the contest for his first career victory at New Egypt
Speedway. Connor King drove up from his fourteenth place start to take the
runner-up spot. Jeremy Martino, John Criscione and Kyle Kania completed the
top five. Joe Toth and Ryan Simmons were the winners in the Crate Modified
heat races.
In the 20-lap main event for the Larry's Hot Rods & Harley's Northeast
Wingless Sprint Cars, Eric Jennings grabbed the lead from Larry Drake on the
sixth tour and led the rest of the way to win his second feature of the
year. Rich Mellor was second with Heidi Hedin placing third. Karl Freyer
finished in fourth and fifth place went to Brian Spencer. Larry Drake was
the victor in the qualifying race for the Larry's Hot Rods & Harley's
Northeast Wingless Sprint Cars.
For the third time in four races, Ryan Heim topped his rivals in the 8-lap
Lyons Construction/Metal Fab Rookie Sportsman feature. Paige Brown led the
race for the opening three circuits before Heim took command. Brown
concluded the contest in second. Matt Miller finished in third. Fourth went
to Kevin Borden, Jr. and Bobby Holzwarth was fifth.
Joe Garey, Sr. racked up his second 2018 visit to victory lane by leading
every step of the way in the 15-lap race for the 4-Cylinders. Justin Dunn,
Jim Backowski, Scott Dunn and Joe Garey, Jr. finished in order behind the
winner.

All Hands On Deck To WIN!
Posted by: | CommentsAttica Raceway Park Results
Posted by: | CommentsReed's experience earns him Attica win; Stroup survives for emotional 305 victory; Schlenk out duels Drown for late model win
By Brian Liskai
Attica, Ohio - Byron Reed utilized his years of experience to hold off challenges from a couple of young guns to claim his 39th career 410 c.i. sprint car win at Attica Raceway Park Friday on Adkins Group/AmeriGas Night.
The win also puts Reed in contention for a fifth All Pro Aluminum Cylinder Heads FAST 410 Championship Series presented by Ohio Logistics title
McClure, Ohio's Rusty Schlenk battled with Doug Drown and Ryan Missler throughout the feature in the Summit Racing Equipment UMP Late Models and held on for his 25th career victory at Attica Raceway Park. It was his second win of the season at the track.
Fremont, Ohio's Dustin Stroup survived a collision with John Ivy while battling for the lead of the Fremont Fence 305 Sprint feature and drove to his third career victory at "Ohio's Finest Racing" venue. It was an emotional win for Stroup whose mother underwent surgery earlier in the week and his dad was involved in a car crash earlier in the afternoon but was uninjured.
The victory also puts Stroup atop the standings for the JLH General Contractor FAST 305 Championship Series presented by Engine Pro.
Reed stalked Travis Philo early in the 30-lap Callies Performance Products 410 Sprint feature before using lapped traffic to take the lead on lap 12. A restart at the half-way mark gave Philo another shot at Reed and he raced the eight time track champion hard for several laps before Reed got his rhythm established once again. Philo stayed within striking distance but had his hands full the last five laps with 16th starter Cap Henry. Reed pulled away the final three circuits for the win with Henry grabbing second at the checkers.
"One of my childhood heroes was Sammy Swindell. I used to watch him and Steve (Kinser) and Wolfgang (Doug) at Eldora trading slide jobs. That was kind of one of Sammy's deals...they'd slide back and forth two or three times and about the third time he's pin it on the bottom knowing it was coming and I think that worked for me," said Reed of his Crown Battery backed #5.
Doug drown led the first 18 laps of the late model feature before Schlenk used the cushion in turn four to grave the lead. With two laps to go traffic allowed Drown one more shot at the leader but Schlenk held him off for the win to open the 2nd Annual Attica Raceway Park-Oakshade Raceway Late Model Series Challenge. A loose fuel line made visibility tough for Schlenk aboard his Velocita, Rayburn Race cars, Buckeye Concrete Coatings, VP Fuels backed #CJ1.
"I took a fuel bath the last 15 laps. The car owner told me he was going to leave something loose...every time we had a loose line last year I ended up winning," Schlenk joked. "My tear-offs are all melted together and everything. That's sketchy when you give a slide job for the lead and you can't see out your shield. It's always fun racing with Doug and Missler around this place. Doug's one of the toughest competitors around here. We were tied for feature wins coming into the night and I couldn't let him get the upper hand."
In the 305 feature Stroup battled with early leader Kyle Peters throughout the first 10 laps before taking the lead and then had to fight off John Ivy. As the two were racing in heavy lapped traffic with just four laps to go they collided, nearly sending both flipping. Both gathered their composure but Brandon Moore closed to make it a three car battle the final three laps. Stroup held on for his second win of the year, having won at Fremont Speedway two weeks ago.
"My mom had a tumor removed on Monday that we didn't even know about. This is a big emotional win for me. Mom and Dad aren't here...I can't remember the last time I went to a race without my Dad. This means a lot...I've had a hell of a week," Stroup said beside his Century 21 Premiere Properties, Slade Shock Technology, Level Performance, Triple X Race Cars backed #21.
As for the incident that nearly cost him the win, Stroup said he saw someone he thought was going to spin and slowed and Ivy had no where to go.
"We hit pretty good...I don't think we hurt anything. We got this new Triple X chassis over the winter and it's been awesome. Adam and Brandon helped me out tonight...I didn't have anyone else and if it wasn't for them I wouldn't be here," he added.
In the 30-lap 410 sprint feature Dan McCarron and Travis Philo brought the field to green with Philo blasting into the lead over fourth starter Reed, McCarron and season opening winner Stuart Brubaker. Philo set sail while Reed settled into second with a terrific battle ensuing for third between McCarron, Brubaker and Chris Andrews. Philo's fast pace had the leaders into lapped traffic by lap nine and Reed used it to close with Brubaker, McCarron, Andrews, Broc Martin and DJ Netto in tow.
On lap 12 Reed used traffic and set Philo up for a slider to take the lead with Brubaker and Andrews locked in a torrid battle for third. Action ground to a halt at the half-way point when McCarron and Martin, while battle for sixth, tangled with Martin ending up on his side. Martin was okay but he and McCarron were done for the night.
When the green reappeared Philo threw everything he had at Reed as the pair battled side by side over the next five laps. Behind them Brubaker and Andrews were now joined by Henry in the battle for third. While the battle for the lead settled down some what, Philo stayed within striking distance of Reed as they raced into lapped traffic with five laps remaining. That allowed third running Henry to close and with three laps to go you could cover the top three with a blanket. Reed hit his marks perfectly to take the win as Henry snuck by Philo at the checkers for second with Andrews and Netto rounding out the top five.
"Attica is a great place to race. When the guys that designed this place 30 years ago they built a beautiful track. It's a great place to come and race at and great people to race with. I want to thank Crown Battery for supporting me another year and my crew, Kurt, Dick and Kevin and my mom and dad and the fans for coming out," Reed said in the Engine Pro Victory Lane.
The late model feature saw Steve Kester and Drown on the front row with Drown gaining the advantage at the drop of the green with Kester applying pressure to his inside while Dan Wallace, Schlenk and John Mayes Jr. battling for third. Early race cautions kept the field close the first four laps. When the flew again Drown was able to pull away as Missler moved into second. After a three lap battle, Schlenk finally got around Kester for third and closed on Missler with eight laps scored and took the runner-up spot on lap nine.
Drown caught the back of the field on lap 13 and Schlenk and Missler closed while Kester, Eric Spangler, Dan Wallace and Ryan Markham waged a tremendous battle for fourth. Just as the top three were slicing in and out of traffic while battling for the lead, the caution flew with 11 laps remaining. On the restart Drown went to the cushion while Schlenk dove to the bottom with Missler staying close, ready to pounce. With seven laps to go Drown and Schlenk were side by side and Schlenk blasted off the cushion of turn four to grab the lead on lap 19.
With just two laps to go Schlenk drove into traffic and Drown and Missler closed with Spangler, Kester and Markham in pursuit. Schlenk held off the challenge to take the win over Drown, Missler, Spangler and Kester.
"I wish we could have stuck out that World of Outlaw deal but we got so far behind with a couple of DNF's right off the bat and it just wasn't worth it financially to keep going on the deal. We learned a lot racing with them so hopefully we can run as many of those big races as we can. We're not going to stuck around too close to home. We plan on doing the Summer Nationals and some other stuff but I have to keep racing with the big guys like that...it makes us a lot better. We will be back to Attica next week for the American Ethanol Tour," said the two time and defending national UMP champion.
Steve Rando and Kyle Peters brought the field to green for the 305 sprint feature with Peters blasting into the lead while Rando was trying to hold off Stroup. Peters began to pull away slightly as Stroup, Rando, Bobby Clark and John Ivy waged a tremendous battle behind him. With 10 laps scored Peters and Stroup narrowly avoided disaster as a lapped car spun right in front of them. On the restart Stroup drove under Peters for the lead, bringing Ivy into second. At the half-way point the car on the move was Brandon Moore who had charged from 11th to third as Peters fell back to fourth.
Stroup and Ivy ran nose to tail over the next eight laps as they raced into heavy traffic with four circuits remaining. While battling for the lead Stroup and Ivy made heavy contact in turn two and both nearly spun but kept going, maintaining their position as Moore closed. Stroup was able to hold off Ivy the final four laps for the win with Moore getting around Ivy at the checkers for second. Jamie Miller and Rando rounded out the top five.
Underground Utilities Inc. Night will be the biggest late model purse of the year at Attica Raceway Park, Friday, May 11 as the American Ethanol Late Model Tour visits Attica. The 305 sprints and dirt trucks along with the vintage cars will be on the racing card as well.

Schatz Tames Lake Ozark for Sixth Win of Season
Eldon, MO – May 4, 2018 – Donny Schatz survived an early Shark (Racing) attack to capture his sixth World of Outlaws Craftsman Sprint Car Series triumph of the season in the Series first visit to Lake Ozark in 11 years. David Gravel finished second with Kerry Madsen coming forward to complete the podium.
Shark Racing’s Jacob Allen won the Craftsman Club Dash, earning the pole for the 40-lap Feature alongside his teammate Logan Schuchart. Allen and Schuchart would exchange slide jobs multiple times out front of the Dash and on the opening few circuits of the Feature.
For the second time in his career, Allen would lead the opening lap of competition. Third-starting Donny Schatz began making the bottom work as he closed in and surpassed Schuchart for second on the fifth circuit. Two laps later, Schatz was knocking on the door of Allen, who went low to block Schatz to no avail as the nine-time Champion powered around the Shark Racing No.1A off of turn four to lead Lap 7.
Schatz began working traffic through the middle of the speedway and Allen actually closed back in running a car length higher but was unable to get back the top position. A slight bobble by Allen allowed Schuchart to take the runner-up position on Lap 14.
David Gravel continued his charge forward and secured second from Schuchart just as the first caution flew for the first time on Lap 26 for Daryn Pittman.
The caution cleared Donny Schatz of heavy traffic but allowed Gravel to start beside him. Two laps later, while battling for the third position, Logan Schuchart and 10th-starting Spencer Bayston, who set a new Lake Ozark track record in Qualifying, made heavy contact, ending the latter’s evening with a damaged front axle. Schuchart would restart, but with significant wing damage that would hinder his handling around the tight-quartered racing surface.
Schatz powered away on the restart with Gravel commanding second, but the big mover on the restart was Kerry Madsen who surged into third. Donny Schatz cleared traffic once again and went on to win by 1.495 seconds. It was Schatz’ first career win at Lake Ozark, sixth triumph of the season and 267th career victory with the World of Outlaws Craftsman Sprint Car Series.
When asked about the thrill of winning at a new race track Schatz said, “It’s awesome to win anywhere with the World of Outlaws, let alone for the first time a track. I don’t remember being here in 2007, but I remember being here tonight. Hats off to this race team. It’s a lot of fun to race with guys that you have a special bond with.”
Coming off an 18-win season, a single win as the calendar turns to May could be viewed as a little bit of a disappointment for Gravel and CJB Motorsports, but they seem to have turned the corner lately. “We’ve been battling a lot of stuff here to start the year off. We had a really good car, but were never really the same after that caution. We were close tonight, we’ll move on to Salina tomorrow,” Gravel said.
It was a season-best podium finish for Kerry Madsen, who acknowledged his excellent restart on Lap 28. “We really came alive on that restart. This team has worked very hard and we haven’t had the results to show for it yet this year,” Madsen, a five-time Outlaw winner a year ago, said.
Shane Stewart and Jason Johnson, who resides 10 miles from Lake Ozark, completed the top five. Daryn Pittman bounced back and charged to seventh in the final 14 laps after bringing out the caution. Schuchart limped his ailing Shark Racing No.1S to a 10th place finish, with his teammate and early leader Allen settling for 11th. The KSE Hard Charger honors went to Kraig Kinser, who recovered from an incident in his Heat Race to charge from 21st to 12th.
The World of Outlaws Craftsman Sprint Car Series returns to action tomorrow night, Saturday May 5, 2018, at the always-exciting Salina Highbanks in Oklahoma. Catch all the action from Salina and every night of the World of Outlaws 40th Anniversary Season live on DIRTVision.com!
