Hoosier Tire Mid Atlantic VP Racing Fuels
Wall Township, NJ. Saturday April 29, 2017 ... 2015 ATQMRA Champion Buddy Sload has returned to his winning ways in the Colin Martin Spitfire 36 by earning back to back feature victories first at the club opener, then backing it up with a win Saturday at Wall Stadium in wingless competition on Wall's inner oval on Wall Stadium's Fan Fest Night. Rob Vivona rolled across the line second with Matt Roselli third. Roselli and Ryan Tidman earned heat race victories. Ronnie the Rocket Mullen was the highest finishing Acro Rookie of the year candidate. Fellow Rookie Jon Keller went for a rough ride onto his lid in the feature. The Brice's NAPA Auto Parts Clean Start Buckets were handed out to teams at the event.
The luck of the draw put Matt Janisch in the Alan Mollot Lindblad Badger along Side Mark Yoder in his Hyper Hugger on the front row. Janisch was able to power into the lead on the initial start with Joey Bailer following him in Second. Bailey pressured Janisch for the lead before overtaking him on lap 7. Bailey opened up a margin on second when the red flag was flown for a tangle between two rookie candidates exiting the fourth turn sending Jon Keller over onto his lid ending his day early.
At the time of the red flag just prior to half way Ryan Tidman and Matt Jansich tangled on the back straight away sending Janisch upside down. Jansich and Tidman were able to continue. This put Sload on the outside pole for the restart alongside Bailey. On the restart, Bailey launched into the lead and held serve until lap 22 when Sload and Bailey made contact entering the third turn in what was deemed a "Racing Incident" bringing out the caution for a spinning Bailey.
Eighth starting Rob Vivona in the lone 600 Micro Sprint in the field slowly picked his way forward to move into the second position for the restart. Sload was able to maintain the advantage and park the 36 Spitfire in Victory lane for his second feature win in so many races in 2017. Vivona trailed Sload in Second with a hard charging Matt Roselli rounding out the Podium. Ryan Tidman rebounded from the lap 12 incident to notch a fourth place finish with Geoffrey Sutton rounding out the top five.
Mark Yoder Rolled across the line sixth with Janisch rebounding from the earlier flip to finish seventh. Jeff Kot was eighth in the Behrents Performance Yuhas Chassis 88 with the top Rookie of the race Wall Stadium's own Ronnie the Rocket Mullen ninth. Austin Fehr rounded out the top ten with Joey Bailey coming back from the late race spin to finish eleventh.
The ATQMRA was once again part of Wall's popular on track Fan Fest where teams were able to meet and mingle with fans and friends. For the first time Father and Son Ronnie and Cole Mullen raced on track together with the old man besting the kid in the debut of Ron's brand New BGF Chassis and Motor 39 car.
Each of the teams received a NAPA Bucket containing hand cleaner carburator cleaner and car polishing products from Brice's NAPA Auto Parts for the third consecutive year. A special thanks to Bill Brice, The ATQMRA's Race Director, for helping to keep the organization looking good.

Trey Starks earns Roy Morral Tribute for first ever Arctic Cat All Star victory
BEDFORD, PA (April 30, 2017) - For the first time in his young career, Trey Starks is an Arctic Cat All Star Circuit of Champions main event winner, outrunning Dale Blaney and Lucas Wolfe for the Roy Morral Tribute title at the Bedford Fairgrounds Speedway in Bedford, Pennsylvania. Starks, pilot of the Scott Gobrecht-owned/Textron Off Road/No. 44, took command officially on lap three and never looked back, crossing under the final checkers 2.2 seconds ahead of the competition. The $5,000 victory was Starks’ first in Central Pennsylvania.

“I don’t even know what to say right now. This is amazing,” Trey Starks said in victory lane. “This is such a humbling sport. We finished 18th last night at Lincoln Speedway, and now we are in victory lane with the Arctic Cat All Star Circuit of Champions. This is a dream come true.”
Pole sitter Lucas Wolfe and New Castle, Indiana’s Caleb Armstrong led the 26 starters to green on Sunday night at Bedford Speedway. Wolfe grabbed the early advantage and led the first two circuits before the main event’s first caution appeared on lap three. It was on the restart when Trey Starks made his bid for the top spot, driving under Lucas Wolfe to officially take command for the first time.
A pair of cautions on lap six, one of which resulting in red flag conditions, halted the field once again, but neither created any distraction for Starks. The Puyallup, Washington, native brought the field back to life and returned to a demanding lead, eventually reaching the tail of the field just before the midpoint of the 25-lap program.
While Starks ran away in traffic, a battle for the second position soon commenced between Lucas Wolfe and Dale Blaney. Blaney, who started sixth on the main event grid, chased Wolfe nearly nose-to-tail in traffic for five circuits, eventually taking away the runner-up spot on lap 20. Despite Blaney’s attempt to chase down the top spot, Starks’ lead had increased to nearly four seconds, only cutting the advantage to just over two seconds by the time the final checkers flew. Lucas Wolfe held on to finish third aboard the Mike Barshinger-owned/No. 24, followed by Tim Shaffer and Johnstown’s Dan Shetler.
“When you’re out in front like that, especially ahead of a guy like Dale Blaney, every move in traffic is probably the wrong move,” Trey Starks explained. “I was just trying to get through traffic as quickly as I could. We’ve been having such a tough start to the year. I’m so glad to get one for my team.”
With three rounds of Central Pennsylvania competition complete, the Arctic Cat All Star Circuit of Champions will move forward and continue their 2017 campaign with a return to The Keystone State, this time spending a weekend on the western edge of Pennsylvania with visits to Lernerville Speedway and Mercer Raceway Park on Friday and Saturday, May 5-6, respectively. “America’s Series” will visit Lernerville Speedway and Mercer Raceway Park only once in 2017, each awarding $5,000 top prizes.

BLEWETT WINS WALL MODIFIED OPENER SATURDAY IN FRONT OF LARGE CROWD
WALL TOWNSHIP, N.J. ~ Before one of the largest opening night crowds in recent memory Jimmy Blewett of Howell raced to victory in the headlining 40-lap feature race for the Freehold Ford Modified stock cars at Wall Stadium Speedway Saturday night. It was Blewett’s 58th career main event win at the shore speedway.
After setting fast time in time trial qualifying Blewett rocketed to the lead at the outset. Although he was never headed Blewett fought off challenges from Derek Hopkinson of Toms River, Holmdel’s Andrew Krause and his very own teammate, Eric Mauriello of Howell. Just a few cautions slowed the race, but one red flag waved when rookie Tom Catanzaro slammed the first turn rail. Although both the guardrail and the car sustained severe damage, no injury was reported.
At the checker flag Mauriello chased Blewett across the finish line with Krause, defending champion Steven Reed and Shanon Mongeau of Manchester completing the top five.
“Winning on opening night is big,” Blewett said after the race. “The car was good until the end of the race. It picked up a little suspension problem and I had to take it easy near the end. A lot of people help with this team and I have to thank them all.”
Defending Snap On Sportsman champion Kevin Davison began his title defense on a positive note as he won a crash filled main event. Although Davison stayed well ahead of the trouble, officials eventually called the race official with 27 of the scheduled 30 laps completed. Tuckerton’s Robby Walton, Jonathan Laureigh of Lanoka Harbor, Wall’s Mike Carr and Kyle Scisco of Jackson wrapped up the top five.
Former champ Scott Riggleman of Manchester won the season opening 25-lapper for the O’Shea’s Auto Repair Factory Stocks after early leader Richie Byrne dropped from the race in the closing laps. Joey Helberg of Union, Mike Montano of Freeport, N.Y., Gerry Koenig of Seaford, N.Y. and Elliott Wohl of Bayville were second through fifth.
Kevin Nowak of Medford, N.Y. won the 25-lapper for the Green Flag Driving Experience Legend Cars over Richie Davidowitz, also of Medford, N.Y., Wall’s Robert French, defending champ Louie Keraitis of Toms River, and Mitchell Dowd of Pottstown, Pa.
Brian Doyle of Ronkonkoma, N.Y. tasted his first win in over a season in the 25-lapper for the Elite Maintenance Limited Late Models over Wall’s Cole Ormsbee, Greg Miranda of Hazlet, Jackson’s Glen Conk and Jim Moorman.
Defending Surfside Collision 4 Cylinder Stock champ Todd Pilla of Beachwood won his main event over Brick’s Robert Sutphin, Darren Burdge of Jackson and Darianne McLaren of Edison.
Buddy Sload of West Chester, Pa. won the 25-lap race for the touring TQ Midgets.
Racing continues this Saturday evening with cone races offered for the speedway’s regular divisions. Grandstand seating will open at 5:00 p.m. Qualifying will then start at 5:45 p.m. before the seven main events begin at 7:00 p.m.

Fourth went to DJ Ruppert. After starting in twenty-third, Rocco Infante finished in fifth.
With the top twelve finishers of the first feature inverted for the second 20-lap feature for the 358 Modifieds, polesitter Billy Pauch, Jr. grabbed the opening lap lead after the original start was scrubbed due to a caution. Just after the first tour was completed, the red flag was shone as a multi-car incident in turn one saw Roger Manning’s car rollover. After a few appearances of the yellow flag, Pauch, Jr. was still in command on lap six with Godown in second place and David Van Horn in third. At the halfway point, a mechanical issue forced Van Horn to drop out of the race on another restart and John McClelland was next in line behind Pauch, Jr. and Godown. In the second half of the race, Pauch, Jr. began to pull away from Godown but one final caution period occurred on lap nineteen. On the final resumption of racing, Pauch, Jr. held off one last charge by Godown to take his second win of the year. With McClelland breaking on the closing circuit, Willie Osmun finished in third. Fourth was taken by Ryan Krachun and Brandon Grosso completed the race in fifth. The 358 Modified heat winners were Lou Cicconi, Danny Bouc, and PJ Oliver. The consolation race was taken by Chad Barney.
In the 20-lap Northeast Wingless Sprint Car main event, Ryan Godown took the lead from Rich Mellor on the seventh revolution and went unchallenged the remainder of the way for his second win of the year in the division. Mellor took the runner-up spot. Heidi Hedin’s strong run resulted in a third place finish. Lee Nardelli and defending champion Bobby Butler completed the top five. Ryan Godown and Bobby Butler won the Northeast Wingless Sprint Car qualifying races.
After taking the lead from Shaun Ratchford on the third circuit, TJ Lilly survived several restarts to score his second career win in the 20-lap Hammer Sportsman feature. Billy Osmun, III, who won two weeks ago, finished in second place. Third place was taken by Pat Wall. Cale Ross and Mike Lyons completed the top five. The victors in the Hammer Sportsman heat races were TJ Lilly and Mike Lyons.
David Burns led every circuit of the 8-lap Lyons Construction/Metal Fab Rookie feature to collect his second checkered flag of the season. Rob Mancini, Joseph Brown, Richard Wegner, Sr. and Walt McIntyre followed Burns across the finish line.
On Saturday, May 6, the 2017 version of the May Modified Madness for the 358 Modifieds gets underway with the Round of 24.

MANMILLER, DYLAN SWINEHART, AND BLAINE EMERY CONTINUE NEW WINNERS STREAK AT GRANDVIEW SPEEDWAY
BECHTELSVILLE, PA. April 30, 2017. . .The new winner’s streak continued at Grandview Speedway on Saturday night. Back after a week hiatus courtesy of Mother Nature, 35 Modified, 18 Late Model and 34 Sportsman drivers were ready to mix it up in qualifying events to participate in their respective features on Saturday night at Grandview Speedway and three new feature winners put their names in the record book.
After three Saturday nights of NASCAR stock car racing there have been nine different feature winners.
Doug “The Handler” Manmiller dove underneath leader Ryan Grim to take the lead away on the 24th lap of the 30-lap NASCAR T.P. Trailers 358 Modified feature and proceeded to win his first feature of the current campaign behind the wheel of the Jason Miller-owned No. 44M. Manmiller ran high and low until the bottom line came in and he could make his move. With five laps to go Manmiller dealt with lap traffic and as long as they held their line he knew what maneuver to make to keep the others in tow.
A new name was added to the win column in the BRC NASCAR 25-lap Late Model feature. Blaine Emery, who returned to the 1/3-mile oval after missing several seasons, held off the challenges of opening night winner Ron Kline until he encountered problems with a lap car and later Kyle Merkel. It was Emery’s first career win despite having overheating problems.
Second year racer Dylan Swinehart overcame the sophomore jinx to collect his second career win and his first of the year in the 25-lap NASCAR Sportsman feature. He didn’t have an easy time capturing the win. Earlier he lost the lead to rookie Jeromy Guistwite on a restart, but on another restart he kept the pedal to the metal and regained the lead. In later stages he was able to withstand Mark Kemmerer’s continuous bids.
Providing all feature winners had the TP Trailers decal and the VP Racing decals if they ran gas in addition to meeting all the necessary requirements, they received monetary awards from T.P. Trailers and products awards from VP.
Fans heading out to Grandview Speedway for Saturday night NASCAR stock car racing action are reminded that starting this Saturday the spectator gates open at 5:30 p.m. and racing will start at 7:30 p.m. As is normal the Saturday night show will feature the TP Trailers 358 Modifieds, BRC Late Models and Sportsman. At least 12 events of racing.
And the Enduro and Blast from the Past Vintage racing on Sunday will consist of a 100 lap Big Car Enduro, 100 lap Small Car Enduro, 50-lap Junkyard Car Enduro and Ladies Race. Also Blast from the Past Vintage Stock cars will have a 15 lap feature for their Vintage Division and 15-lap feature for Modified class. Racing starts at 1 p.m. with a $10 adult admission cost.
Modified feature action had Danny Erb jump into the early lead trailed by Colt Harris, Ryan Grim, John Willman and Kenny Gilmore.
Harris, who was having a strong run chasing down Erb, brought out the first caution when he stopped in the first turn after smoking the previous laps.
Erb maintained the lead on the restart with Grim now in second.
Lap 13 was not a lucky one for Erb since for the second time while leading, he stopped between turns three and four with mechanical problems. This time it appeared to be a broken front-end suspension. Erb’s misfortune was Grim’s fortune as he now inherited first. On the restart cars stacked up behind Grim were Manmiller, Mike Gular, Kyle Borror and John Willman.
Grim, who received the Dan’s Deli ½-way hoagie award, and Manmiller battled side-by-side for several laps with Grim taking the high line and Manmiller the inside groove with neither one giving up.
Manmiller took advantage to take over the lead on the 24th lap when Grim pushed up high in turn four and Manmiller dove underneath.
Behind the front pair anticipating a false move were Gular, Borror and Jared Umbenhauer. Lurking in the wins trying to get into the top five were Craig Von Dohren and Jeff Strunk.
Gular overtook Grim with two laps to go and tried to reel in Manmiller, but ran out of time.
At the drop of the checkered Manmiller was in victory lane for the first time since September 3, 2016. Chasing him across were Gular, Grim, Borror and Von Dohren.
Kenny Gilmore, Gular and R. Grim won the qualifying heats. The consi was won by Duane Howard.
Emery passed Shawn Horning for the lead on the second lap of the Late Model feature with Kline following through at the same time for second.
Kline’s bid for another victory was erased after he made contact with the lapped car of Jordan Knepp and hit the first turn wall.
On the restart Cory Merkel, running fifth, spun in the first turn with several others involved. The next attempt at another lap was better as Emery was still first trailed by Kyle Merkel, Steve Wilson, previous winner Brian Shuey and Chuck Schutz.
In the closing stages a three-way battle for first ensued between Emery, Merkel and Shuey.
Emery kept everyone at bay and went on to chalk up the victory and also received the Dan’s Deli ½-way hoagie award. Finishing second was K. Merkel followed by Shuey, Wilson and Schutz.
Heats were won by Shuey and Emery.
The beginning of the Sportsman feature was a rather scary one when Ryan Shupp and Nathan Mohr made contact and Mohr took a wild flip in turn one. Several others were also involved with Jordan Henn, left with nowhere to go, had Mohr’s car landing on top of his. Mohr and the others escaped injury, but Henn was taken to the hospital to be checked as a safety precaution.
When action resumed Jeromy Guistwite, a rookie this season, was the race leader followed by Swinehart, Jesse Landis, Ken Eckert Jr. and Jim Housworth.
Craig Whitmoyer brought out another yellow when he spun in the second turn on the second lap. On the restart Swinehart got the edge on Guistwite and moved into first.
The pair battled feverishly and neither one was ready to stop trying.
A first turn multi-car accident on lap six had the yellow waving again. On the restart Swinehart pushed up a bit off turn four and Guistwite was back in front.
Kyle Lilick spun in the second turn on the 13th lap. The restart was void since Eckert Jr., having a solid run, stopped in the third turn. This time Swinehart was determined to regain first and he did just that as Guistwite couldn’t hold off the hard charger since he had his hands full holding off Kemmerer and Housworth.
Kemmerer, whose car was badly damaged from the first lap incident, wasn’t deterred by how the car looked; overtook second to begin challenging Swinehart.
Housworth got out of shape in turn four, corrected it and continued. Guistwite, left with no place to go, spun for the final caution with three laps remaining. Swinehart held his pace with Kemmerer right behind.
Swinehart never surrendered the lead once he regained it and was in the winner’s circle for the first time followed by Kemmerer, Housworth and opening night feature winner Brian Hirthler and rookie Louden Reimert.
Guistwite, Ryan Higgs and Swinehart won the heats. The consi was won by Kyle Lilick.

Lance Dewease goes wire-to-wire for Keith Kauffman Classic victory at Port Royal Speedway
PORT ROYAL, PA (April 29, 2017) - For the second time in as many nights, Fayetteville, Pennsylvania’s Lance Dewease is an Arctic Cat All Star Circuit of Champions main event winner in Central Pennsylvania, this time dominating feature action from the front row to score the second annual Keith Kauffman Classic at Port Royal Speedway. The victory, the 33rd Arctic Cat All Star win of Dewease’s career and his sixth at the Port Royal “Speed Palace,” was conducted in near-record fashion, crossing under the final checkers 6.748 seconds ahead of the field, lapping up to eleventh place during the ten minute, non-stop 30-lapper.
“These guys work so hard,” said Lance Dewease about the Don Kreitz-owned/Schannauer Plumbing & Heating/RVWorkshop.com/No. 69K operation. “That’s why we run such a limited schedule. That allows my guys enough time to look over everything and make sure we’re ready to go for the next race. The track was great tonight. Hats off to everyone here at Port Royal Speedway. It’s a dream to drive for this team.”
Lance Dewease started from the pole position and wasted no time gaining the early advantage, crossing under the flagstand for the first time by a margin of 2.2 seconds ahead of Ryan Smith and Blane Heimbach. Even with traffic coming into play by lap six, Dewease still managed to keep positive momentum, extending his lead to nearly four seconds at halfway. Meanwhile, Hartford, Ohio’s Dale Blaney charged forward from the outside of row three to third by lap ten, falling in line behind Ryan Smith and Lance Dewease.
Despite two hiccups, making contact with the inside retaining wall, as well as making contact with Doug Esh during an attempt to put “The Hammer” a lap down, Dewease drove on to score the $5,000 payday with no challenges, followed at the finish by Ryan Smith, Dale Blaney, Dylan Cisney, and Blane Heimbach. The victory was number 101 for Lance Dewease at Port Royal Speedway.
“Finishing second to these guys is like a win for us,” Ryan Smith said. “I can’t thank my team enough for what they do for me. Hopefully we can get a win soon and get the monkey off of our back.”
The Arctic Cat All Star Circuit of Champions will conclude their first Central Pennsylvania swing of 2017 with a visit to the Bedford Fairgrounds Speedway in Bedford on Sunday evening, April 30. Honoring the former Bedford Speedway promoter and Central Pennsylvania car owner, the Roy Morral Tribute will headline competition at the Bedford half-mile; the first of two Arctic Cat All Star Circuit of Champions appearances in Bedford, Pennsylvania, in 2017.
Five-time and defending Arctic Cat All Star champion Chad Kemenah is the most recent winner at Bedford Speedway during Series competition, holding back Greg Hodnett and Cap Henry at the final checkers for a $5,000 payday.
Bedford Speedway officials will open pit gates at 4:00pm on Sunday, April 30. A mandatory drivers meeting will be conducted at 5:30pm, followed by hot laps at 6:00pm. Fans who can not attend the Roy Morral Tribute are invited to watch online via www.speedshifttv.com. Speed Shift TV will be hosting a pay-per-view internet broadcast which is available for purchase starting at $24.95. Visit Speed Shift TV online for more information.

About the Arctic Cat All Star Circuit of Champions:
All Star Enterprises, LLC, wholly owned by Tony Stewart, d/b/a the All Star Circuit of Champions, is a winged sprint car series. The All-Star Circuit of Champions Sprint Car Series is one of the oldest traveling 410 sprint car organizations and is a staple of grassroots, open-wheel racing. Formed in 1970 by Bud Miller, the series has largely been considered the first 'outlaw' Sprint Car organization of the modern era. After a 10 year stint as owner of the All Stars, Miller passed control of the series to Bert Emick in 1980; a reign that would continue through 2002. Guy Webb then purchased the series from Emick in the summer of 2002 and served as the series President for the next 12 years. Motorsports entrepreneur Tony Stewart agreed to terms with Guy Webb to become the sole owner of the original winged sprint car tour in January of 2015.
