NAPA AUTO PARTS & PIONEER POLE BUILDINGS PRESENT ALL STAR INVASION THURSDAY NIGHT AT GRANDVIEW SPEEDWAY. . . . .
KEMENAH, BLANEY, HAUDENSCHILD LEAD ALL STAR ASSAULT; HODNETT, DIETRICH, AND SMITH DEFEND HOME TURF
BECHTELSVILLE, PA (AUGUST 17, 2016) – Excitement builds as Tony Stewart’s Arctic Cat All Star Circuit of Champions prepare to descend upon the third-mile bullring of Grandview Speedway in Bechtelsville, PA. NAPA Auto Parts Thunder on the Hill Racing Series brings the All Stars to the Berks County dirt track this Thursday, August 18, as the nationally touring 410 Sprint Car racing series battles the Pennsylvania Posse, with a $5,000 payday on the line. This popular event is being presented by Pioneer Pole Buildings.
A full program of 410 racing action including Time Trials, Qualifying Heat Races, a Dash to determine the A-Main starting order, and a 35-lap main event paying $5,000 to the winner, $1,000 to the 10th place finisher, and $500 to start rounds out the thrilling evening.
A quick time bonus of $100 will be awarded to the fastest competitor in Time Trials. 358/360 Sprint Car drivers are eligible to participate with $200 going to the highest finisher and $100 going to the second highest finisher.
Findlay, OH’s Chad Kemenah – the current series point leader and 4-time Series Champion -- will lead the All Stars into Grandview Speedway. Piloting the beautiful No. 10H machine, Kemenah proves to be consistent scoring 19 top-5 finishes in 30 races with just a single win throughout the 2016 season. Kemenah is a previous Thunder on the Hill Racing Series winner, claiming a victory in 1999.
Defending All Star series champion Dale Blaney sits second in the chase for the championship with six wins this season – more than any driver on the tour. Blaney is trailed by 22-year-old third generation driver Sheldon Haudenschild, aboard the No. 93 machine. Haudenschild has claimed five victories in 2016 in 26 feature events.
While the All Stars bring an elite group of drivers from the mid-west, a battalion of Central Pennsylvania’s top stars are prepared to defend their home turf – and when the greatest Sprint Car drivers in the world do battle it is sure to be unpredictable.
Thomasville, PA’s Greg Hodnett is a 9-time winner at Grandview Speedway – including a 410 Sprint Car victory earlier this season. Hodnett is an easy favorite heading into this Thursday’s event, having claimed five the past seven races on ‘the Hill.’

The winged action doesn’t stop there as competitors from New Jersey and Pennsylvania’s 305 Sprint Car division – namely the Tri-State Racesaver Series – also take to Grandview Speedway. A fan-favorite among area race fans the TSRS Sprint Cars always put on a thrilling event on the third-mile. While many would pick 4-time Series Champion Mike Haggenbottom as a favorite heading into the 25-lap main event, it’s Aston, PA’s Dave Brown who has claimed the past three Grandview TSRS victories

A $100 Quick Time bonus is up for grabs, along with a $200 bonus to the first 360/358 Sprint Car and a $100 bonus to the second 360/358 Sprint Car.

THORSON'S LAST CORNER PASS CAPS SPIN AND WIN PERFORMANCE IN WILD LANCO USAC MIDGET DEBUT
Newmanstown, Pennsylvania August 16, 2016 - It took two whole days to finally get underway, but once it did, the 2016 "Pennsylvania Midget Week" opener was well worth the wait.
Minden, Nevada's Tanner Thorson recovered from a lap four spin, carved his way from the tail-end of the field, setting him up for a last lap, last corner slide job on teammate Spencer Bayston to take an improbable USAC Midget National Championship/ARDC feature win Tuesday night at Lanco's Clyde Martin Memorial Speedway.
A heavy shower in the late afternoon hours doused the Lanco surface with moisture, creating a lightning quick and gnarly racing surface for USAC's debut at the 1/8-mile dirt bullring.
Thorson got the jump from his outside front row starting position at the start of the 30-lap main event, using the topside to glide around Pennsylvania Midget star Alex Bright for the top spot who, along with Brady Bacon, formed a three-car breakaway in the opening laps.
However, on lap four, Thorson entered the first turn and promptly looped it all by his lonesome, bringing about a yellow flag and relegating him to the back of the pack where he would restart 19th with 27 laps to go.
Alex Bright would inherit the lead from Thorson and, throughout the middle portion of the race, would firmly establish himself as the man to beat as a hornet's nest of cars developed behind him in a battle for the lead as he resisted a challenge from the winner of three of the last four series races, Chad Boat.
Nearing the halfway mark, leading series rookie Carson Macedo threw a big slider for the second position on Boat, but Boat was able to slide him back to retain the spot as the two drag raced into turn one.
Yet, Boat's magnificent run of seven-straight top-five finishes would take a severe blow on lap 17 when he slid sideways through the middle of turns three and four while battling Macedo, coming to rest in the middle of the racetrack without making contact. Boat would restart.
On the lap 17 restart, Bright snaked the field down low to the green as Macedo jumped to the top, but just as quickly as it began, the red flag was displayed for an upside down Gage Walker who tipped it over against the guardrail between turns one and two.
On the ensuing restart, Bright chose the middle route into turns one and two while Macedo rode the cushion, but as Macedo began to line up a slider on Bright for the lead in the third turn, action slowed yet again as the yellow flag dropped for a backwards Holly Shelton between turns one and two.
Fourth-running Brady Bacon was involved in a tangle in the fourth turn on lap 18 that also collected top-10 runners Steve Buckwalter and Kenney Johnson. Johnson would be the only driver unable to restart.
Macedo was getting better and better as the race wore on, but yellow after yellow halted his procession to the front, keeping him at bay in the second position with just 13 laps to go.
But, on the following restart, Macedo hounded Bright for the top spot. Two accomplished racers - Bright, a Chili Bowl prelim winner and Macedo, a World of Outlaws feature winner - each duked it out for their first career USAC win with less than ten to go.
On lap 21, Macedo made his move, diamonding off turn two and rocketing down the banking to grab the lead from Bright as the two sprinted down the back straight. Bright counter-punched, slipping back by Macedo briefly in turn one before Macedo shot back by Bright to secure the point.
Heartbreak ensued for Bright shortly after losing the lead when his right rear tire deflated, forcing him into the infield with just a handful of circuits left after leading all drivers with 17 laps led during the feature.
With just four laps to go, Macedo, Bayston and now Thorson, who had charged his way back to the front from the tail, led the field to the restart. Macdeo maintained his high-side presence into turn one while Bayston dove to the bottom to slide up in front of Kunz/Curb-Agajanian Motorsports teammate Macedo for the lead.
As soon as Bayston cleared Macedo between turns one and two, Macedo hit the brakes with the intention of changing direction on a dime, dipping underneath Bayston and driving away on the back straight as Bayston's momentum carried him to the outside turn two wall.
However, Macedo's car stalled before he could put the notion into action, coming to a stop in the middle of turn two to bring out the yellow once again and, thus, moved Thorson to second, directly behind his teammate and race leader Bayston with just four laps remaining.
Bayston exploded off the starting blocks for a solid restart on lap 27 as he gapped himself from Thorson, but that proved to be short-lived as Thorson quickly reeled Bayston back in, putting him in prime position to pounce in a moment's notice.
As Thorson shadowed Bayston's every move, coming to the white flag, Bayston got a big bite coming off of turn two, pulling a wheelstand half the length of the back straight away, yet still maintaining his ever-dwindling lead over Thorson as the two entered the final lap.
Bayston and Thorson held court on the topside of turns one and two after receiving flagman Warren Alston's white flag, but Thorson, who proved to have the fastest car throughout the main event, appeared to be waiting for just the right moment to make the move, leaving no chance for Bayston to return the favor.
As Bayston entered turn three through the middle, Thorson aimed his machine like a dart from the mid-point of the back straight toward the bottom of turns three and four at full throttle, pitching the car sideways and sliding up in front of Bayston at the exit of turn four. That slowed Bayston's momentum and pulled his front wheels off the ground as he got back on the gas, allowing Thorson to nail the bullseye and finish out the last 30 feet to the flagstand in front to record the astonishing spin and win victory by .296 seconds over Bayston, Tyler Thomas, Jim Radney and Ryan Robinson.
Incidentally, it was the first time a last corner pass for the lead was made on the final lap in a USAC National Midget feature since Thorson lost the lead to teammate Rico Abreu at Sun Prairie, Wisconsin's Angell Park Speedway in July of 2015.
Thorson's last lap heroics led to his third win of the season after June victories at Lincoln Park Speedway in Putnamville, Ind. and Riverside International Speedway in West Memphis, Ark., tying him with Boat for the most series victories during the 2016 season in his Keith Kunz - Curb-Agajanian Motorsports/TRD - JBL Audio/Bullet/Speedway Toyota.
"I didn't think there'd be any way we could get back to the front after the spin," Thorson admitted. "I just misjudged my angle into the corner and got a little too sideways and spun it out. I'm just so happy we could do this for Bryan (Clauson). The track smoothed out a lot throughout the night and there were a lot of guys up top, but I never felt like we needed to get up there because we were strong enough running middle to bottom. We've all been itching to race this week, but it was worth the wait for this. We parked it for Bryan."
Despite Bayston's final lap heartbreak, the Lebanon, Indiana driver was able to extend his series point lead to 55 over Boat and 65 over Bacon after both encountered misfortune at Lanco, recording a second-place run in his Keith Kunz - Curb-Agajanian Motorsports/TRD - Mobil 1/Bullet/Speedway Toyota.
"I never felt like I was good enough to really be in the lead; it just fell into our hands," Bayston acknowledged. "But, I still hate to let it slip away at the end. Tanner was really good, but this was elbows up tonight. I just feel bad. Second is okay, but I want to win and when it's right there in front of you and you don't deliver, it's pretty frustrating. Regardless, we're glad to put on a show for Bryan. We know he's cheering us on from heaven."
Collinsville, Oklahoma's Tyler Thomas could finally breathe a sigh of relief after his long, strange trip to "Pennsylvania Midget Week" had him stuck in Dayton, Ohio for the previous two days with mechanical issues on their motorhome, making it just in time to Lanco to take third after starting 11th in his Tyler Thomas Motorsports/BT Machine - AirGroup/Spike/Esslinger.
"It's been a rough start to our week with motorhome problems getting out here, but we had a great car tonight," said a relieved Thomas. "The track was awesome and gave us a multi-groove surface we could race on. Tanner (Thorson) went by me like I was standing still, so it was impressive. One of these days, it'll be us in victory lane, but we're putting together some good runs here lately, and the more we're up there, the better chance we'll have to grab one."
Contingency award winners at Lanco's Clyde Martin Memorial Speedway included Carson Macedo (ProSource Fast Qualifier), Chad Boat (Simpson Race Products First Heat Race winner), Gage Walker (Competition Suspension, Inc. (CSI) Second Heat Race winner), Brady Bacon (Benic Enterprises Third Heat Race winner & Wilwood Brakes 13th Place Finisher), Holly Shelton (Indy Race Parts Semi-Feature winner) and Brenden Bright (KSE Racing Products Hard Charger).

DOMINANT DONNY
Schatz wins at Junction Motor Speedway
MCCOOL JUNCTION, Neb. - August 16, 2016 - Entering the World of Outlaws Craftsman® Sprint Car Series event at Junction Motor Speedway on Tuesday night, Donny Schatz had never finished off the podium in five career starts at the 3/8-mile. The seven-time and defending series champion extended that streak, while adding to his win total at the track, as he dominated the 30-lap main event.
Schatz started second and took the lead on the top side of the track from pole sitter Joey Saldana. Schatz would go on to lead all 30 laps aboard the Bad Boy Off-Road J&J for Tony Stewart Racing.
"You definitely had to be up front tonight, because the track was so fast," said Schatz. "When it started moving it went right to the top. When we got to lapped traffic we had trouble getting by guys, but they were fast cars we were trying to get by. The start is always important and you never really try to push the issue."
The race was slowed by a pair of cautions, both on the second lap. On the first restart, which was a double file restart, Schatz chose the high side of the track and shot out to a lead. Following the second caution, officials elected to go with single file restarts the remainder of the night. On that restart, Schatz again used a strong run to quickly open a gap on David Gravel, who had moved into second, after Joey Saldana suffered a broken rear end while running second.
Late in the race, Schatz caught lapped traffic, and with how fast the track was it took several laps to get around a couple of cars. That allowed Gravel to close as the leader was not able to get around those machines. With six laps remaining, Schatz was able to get around the two cars he had been trying to lap and pulled away.
"My crew did a great job," he said. "Tony Stewart Racing has such a good group of guys and they keep doing such a great job with the race car. When the race car is like that, they are fun to drive. It helps when you get yourself in a good position on the front row."
For Schatz, the win was his 17th of the season and his third triumph at Junction Motor Speedway. He is the only driver that has won more than once at Junction Motor Speedway. The win also helped him extend his lead in the championship standings as he chases his eighth title.
"There is a lot expected out of us, and I expect a lot out of myself as well as my race team at any race track we go to," noted Schatz. "After 20 years, you'd think you'd be able to figure some stuff out. I think it's more of that than anything. It's not a confidence thing. These guys know what they are doing. Some days I may look like I know what I am doing, and some days I actually know what I'm doing. Today we seemed to get everything lined up just right."
Gravel was able to get side-by-side with Schatz coming off turn-four on lap-23, but was not able to make a pass. Late in the race, Gravel had to fend off several charges by Brad Sweet as the pair battled for the second spot. The runner-up finish for Gravel was his 34th top-five finish of the season.
"I had a shot for one lap and then Donny (Schatz) got by Paul (McMahan) and set sail," said Gravel. "I think we got a little free at the end and I got the wing back probably too far to roll that fast of a race track. We're happy with second. We started second in the dash and gained a row there and gained another row in the feature, so I can't complain with that. I would have liked to have won, but it just wasn't in the cards tonight, so we'll move on to Sunday."
Sweet started third and fell back to fifth early, before making a late-race charge. While the lead duo was negotiating the couple of lapped cars during the last 10 laps, Sweet was able to close in on Gravel, but couldn't quite get enough of a run to make a pass.
"It was awfully hard to get by the traffic, because there was so much grip there, three-quarters of the way up the track with that cushion," explained Sweet. "The lapped cars were just fast enough that you couldn't clear them. I would get a run on David (Gravel), but he covered it up pretty good and he was getting good enough runs off the exit that we weren't able to get the right run to make the pass."
The third-place finish for Sweet was his 33rd top-five of the season as he kept pace with Gravel in the point standings. The pair is separated by just three markers.
"You'll have nights like these and you have to be happy with a podium finish," Sweet said. "The Ollie's Bargain Outlet car has been fast and we didn't get the right draw, but Donny (Schatz) did a great job in traffic clearing those couple guys. It got close for a second. That's what he does really well and we have to do a little better. We'll keep working on it and hopefully we can get some wins."
Daryn Pittman finished fourth, after a side-by-side battle with Shane Stewart, who crossed the line fifth. Logan Schuchart finished sixth, with Jason Sides seventh and Jason Johnson eighth. Ian Madsen, who opened the night by setting a new track record in time trials finished ninth. Paul McMahan rounded out the top-10.
The World of Outlaws Craftsman Sprint Car Series returns to action on Sunday, August 21 at Angell Park Speedway in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin, along with Bumper to Bumper IRA Sprints.

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

Brown Captures Regional Hilborn Tri State Race Saver Sprint Event at Bridgeport

Tri-State Racesaver Series

Sweedsboro, NJ August 13, 2016 - Dave Brown took the lead at the wave of the green flag and never looked back as he drove away from the competition to pick up a flag to flag win in the fifth hand of the Tanner Dairy Store/Thayer Performance 2016 Poker Series to pick up his first ace of the season. It was also a regional event for the Tri State Race Saver Sprints (TSRS) - a confidence builder for Brown who plans to travel to Nebraska in September for the national event. It was Brown's third win of 2016.
Brown had nothing but praise for his crew and sponsors. "If it wasn't for these guys," Brown indicated, "we wouldn't be able to run as competitively as we do!" Brown had high praise for his two man crew, made up of his dad and Damien and sponsors Ennis Oil, Fuels & Burner Service and D Capps Carpentry.
"We changed gears twice tonight," Brown explained. "The track was so heavy when we went out for warm-ups. It was kind of crazy - we ran our heats first and our feature last," Brown explained. "The track was completely different. I just watched the track."
Brown became the seventh different winner in Bridgeport TSRS competition and the fifth different winner in the Tanner Dairy Store/Thayer Performance Poker Series.
Mike Haggenbottom started outside Brown and finished second. After five hands in the 2016 Poker Series, Haggenbottom leads the way with three Kings. Haggenbottom has two Bridgeport wins this season - both Friday night races - but he has finished second on three different occasions in Saturday night events.
Haggenbottom was able to narrow the margin between first and second but Brown ran to the checkered unchallenged.
Eddie Wagner finished third after winning the first hand of the 2016 Poker Series. After all of the discussion throughout the day about the heat and humidity and the effect it would have on the drivers, Wagner claimed that when he's in the race car, he didn't even notice the heat. "I was actually hotter at six o'clock when I was grooving tires than I was in the race car," Wagner explained. "You don't even notice it while you're racing."
Tim Tanner was the fourth place finisher with the Tanner Dairy Store No. 18. In addition to competing with TSRS, Tanner brought his 360 sprint car along and took some hot laps in preparation for Tuesday night's Three for All event on the 5/8 mile track.
After running just outside the top five for most of the race, Joe Kay found himself behind the grandstand for the first time this season, picking up the fifth position in the final laps when Logan Diehl ran into mechanical difficulty.
Rick Stief, Brendon Poff, Diehl, Samantha Lieberman and Zach Burd rounded out the top ten.
The drivers of the Hilborn Tri State Race Saver Sprint Cars paid tribute to Bryan Clauson and Jim Campbell as they made their way around the 5/8 mile Bridgeport Speedway for the wave lap of their twenty lap main event on Saturday night. The "Missing Man" formation was used to honor both drivers. It was a day short of the one year anniversary of Campbell's fatal accident. Many of the cars carried bright green ribbons in honor of Clauson.
HILBORN TSRS 305 SPRINTS - 5th Hand of Poker Series (20 laps): 1. Dave Brown, 2. Mike Haggenbottom, 3. Eddie Wagner, 4. Tim Tanner, Jr., 5. Joe Kay, 6. Rick Stief, 7. Brendon Poff, 8. Logan Diehl, 9. Samantha Lieberman, 10. Zach Burd, 11. Bryant Davis, 12. Erika Palmai, 13. Douglas Snow

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