STRUNK SCORES 4th CAREER WIN IN COAL CRACKER 72 RACE, HOLLAND WINS ROADRUNNERS
MINERSVILLE, PA - September 2nd, 2013
Complete elation.
Those are the two words best used to describe the mood of Jeff Strunk and the entire Salerno race team after scoring the victory in the 33rd running of the Jack Rich Memorial Coal Cracker 72 race. The win was worth $10,000 to Strunk and his team, capping off a perfect weekend after winning at Grandview Speedway the previous evening.
Doug Manmiller raced to the early lead in the event, followed closely by Kevin Albert Jr. The first 15 laps went clean and green, with the first caution coming out for a disabled Ricky Yetter in turn two as the leaders actually completed lap #16. During the caution flag, both Meme Desantis and Bobby Varin retired to the pits for the evening. One lap later the caution flag waved once again for a disabled Billy Pauch Sr. in turn three. On the restart, Kevin Albert Jr. raced in to the lead, only to have Manmiller return the favor a few laps later. Lap #23 saw a pile-up in turn four that eliminated point leader Craig Von Dohren along with invaders Richie Pratt Jr. and David Van Horn. Soon after the lap #24 restart, Jeff Strunk powered around the outside of Manmiller to take the lead he would never relinquish. One more caution flag on lap #28 for a stalled John Willman slowed the action before the lap #36 mandatory fuel stop. Once the race restarted, Strunk still held the lead, with Manmiller still lurking behind in second. Duane Howard had now moved into the third spot, with Ryan Godown, Ryan Watt, Rick Laubach, and Jimmy Horton putting on a spectacular battle for the 4th thru 7th positions. Only one caution flag slowed the event over the final 36 laps, that being for a spin by Nick Desantis on lap #57. Strunk continued to lead on the final restart, and managed to hold a several car length lead over the remainder of the event. When the checkered flag waved, it was Strunk, collecting his 4th career Coal Cracker win, but first since 1997. Manmiller held on for second, followed by Howard, Godown, and Watt. Sixth thru tenth were Laubach, Horton, Kevin Smith, Sammy Piazza, and Kevin Albert Jr.
Heat races for the 45 cars on hand were won by Howard, Yetter, Kyle Weiss, and Laubach. Consolation races were won by Bobby Varin and Frank Cozze.
Sixth place starting Chris Holland took the mid-race lead from early leader Shon Elk to win the 19 lap Coal Cracker race for Roadrunners. The race was originally scheduled for 25 laps but was shortened when the feature hit the 25 minute curfew. With the win, Holland joins his dad, Kevin Holland, as the only father/son combination to ever win the event. Kevin's victory came back in 2007 in his then potent car #66. Elk was able to hold on to the runner up spot, followed by Marc Berzowski, Jim Kost, and Jason Brown, making his first start of the season. Sixth thru tenth were Devin Trexler, Jared Seigfried, Tim Spesak, Terry Kramer Jr., and Kyle Killian.
Heat races were won by Brown and Berzowski.
Racing returns to Big Diamond Speedway this coming Sunday, September 8th, featuring the ZY Pyrotechnics Modifieds, USS Achey Sportsman, and Anthracite Coal Delivery Street Stocks. Also on the card will be a special Powder Puff race for the Modified and Sportsman divisions combined. The race will pay $50 to the winner courtesy of Kims Kreations. Racing continues each and every Sunday until the end of September.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
ORRVILLE, Ohio Sunday, Sept. 1, 2013 – After the weekend he had, Cole Duncan and his family had thought about just sitting at home Sunday. Good thing the Lockbourne, Ohio driver changed his mind.
Duncan took the lead with just two laps to go after race-long leader Jac Haudenschild blew a left rear tire, and went on to score his first career University of Northwestern Ohio All Star Circuit of Champions victory at the NAPA Wayne County Speedway. Haudenschild, driving for fellow hall-of-famer Rick Ferkel lead the first 26 laps of the 30 lap feature before his left rear tire blew.
During the two day show at Attica on Friday and Saturday, Duncan’s family own team suffered a motor problem Friday and then broke a rear-end on Saturday.
“Oh my God…I don’t even know what to say. We weren’t even going to come today. We woke up and unloaded it out of the trailer and we were going to leave it in the shop for the week and go at it next week. Holy crap I’m glad we came,” said Duncan, whose father Rodney was a staple on the UNOH All Star circuit in the 1980s and 1990s.
“I didn’t even see Jac leave the track. I saw the tire laying on the back stretch…man I hate that for Rick (Ferkel, Jac’s car owner for the night) and Jac and those guys. Especially Rick…he works so hard and he deserved this win. But we’ll take it after the weekend we’ve had,” continued Duncan beside his Bobby Labonte Racing/Motorcity Auto Transport/CnB Mushroom Farms/Wolfden Carbonfiber Products/Industrial Special Powdercoating/Hoosier Tire backed #22.
“We raced with Andrew (Palker) a lot here last year…he’s a good racer obviously as he’s won the track championship twice in the last two years…that’s pretty impressive. To get to race with him…we raced each other clean and it was a hell of a lot of fun,” continued Palker. “First I have to thank my Mom and Dad and my two grandpas and my crew…they worked their asses off to get us here. I’ve been waiting a long time for this.”
Local driver Dean Jacobs capped off a great weekend and celebrated his 50th birthday in style by bringing the Joe and Diane Seeling owned #97 home in second.
“They were telling me I was getting old and I had to prove them wrong. We were good…I actually thought I was better than Cole. You couldn’t hardly see to enter this corner (turn one) from the dust but if you could get in there you could run the crap out of the thing. Cole was doing the exact same thing that I was and that’s why he beat me I guess,” said Jacobs beside his Northwest Ohio Towing and Recovery/NAPA Truck and Auto Center/Sugar Street Bar and Grill backed machine. “We needed this. Joe and Diane Seeling have given me a nice race car and I try my hardest. Sometimes it bites you and sometimes you have good results like tonight. Now we’re going to go celebrate my birthday and have a lot of fun.”
“I thought I had run fourth and we came around and saw that Cole won. I don’t know if I was happy I ran second or just as happy that he won. I raced a lot of races with his dad and his dad beat me a lot. I was just telling him the other night because he was so good at Attica that as soon as he gets that first one they will start coming. Let me tell you…that boy is going to win a lot of races,” added Jacobs.
Track champion Andrew Palker kept his impressive run going with a third place finish after running second through much of the race.
“I just didn’t hear Cole up top and I should have put up there in the crap and cooled that tire off but I spent too much time on the bottom. And I got my right rear too hot and there at the end it was just too hot and I had nothing left. I can’t say enough about this team and Kistler Racing Products and Brian Kemenah and Paul Kistler…they are helping us out a bunch. We are sure learning a lot out here right now and it’s really showing when we came back home,” said Palker beside his Albreight Trucking/King Inspection/J&J Auto Racing/Weld Wheels backed #57x.
Newly crowned Lernerville Speedway champion Brandon Spithaler and Haudenschild would bring the field to green with Haudenschild rim-riding into the lead. Just three laps in third place running Lee Jacobs would spin with Brad Haudenschild stopping to avoid a collision. On the restart Haudenschild would rocket away from Spithaler with Duncan, Palker, Jacobs, Dale Blaney and Trey Gustin in tow.
Palker would move into third on lap six and would take second two circuits later. The caution would fly on lap nine for a Caleb Helms spin. On the restart Haudenschild would again blast into a commanding lead with Palker comfortably in second while Spithaler, Duncan, Blaney and Jacobs battled for third.
The caution would come out again on lap 12 as Lee Jacobs’ mount stopped on the front stretch with brake issues. The restart order was Haudenschild, Palker, Blaney, Duncan, Spithaler and Dean Jacobs. The field didn’t stay under green long as Jack Sodeman Jr. and Shawn Hubler got together on lap 12.
When the green reappeared Palker dove under Haudenschild in turns one and two, but “The Wild Child” rocketed off the cushion to pull away. As the laps ticked off Haudenschild built a sizeable lead over Palker as Blaney, Duncan and Jacobs battled for third.
The leaders would catch the back of the field on lap 18 and as most of the field ran the bottom, Haudenschild used the very top groove to pick off the lapped cars. Disaster nearly struck for Haudenschild with five laps to go as he jumped the heavy cushion in turn four and nearly got into the front stretch fence. That allowed Palker, Blaney, Duncan, Dean Jacobs and a closing Tim Shaffer to make up ground.
With seven laps to go Blaney would retire to the infield with mechanical woes, moving Duncan into third. As Haudenschild exited turn two on lap 27, his left rear tire would explode and he limped his mount back to the pits, handing the lead to Palker with Duncan, Dean Jacobs and Shaffer ready to pounce.
Duncan would drive around Palker for the lead with just two laps to go with Jacobs sneaking by on the white flag lap for second.
Duncan would drive to the win over Jacobs, Palker, Shaffer (from 11th), Rob Chaney, Danny Holtgraver (from 20th), Danny Mumaw (from 22nd), Brock Martin (from 16th), Spithaler and Gustin.
The UNOH All Stars will wrap up their Eastern Region points with a double-header at the Port Royal Speedway in Pennsylvania Sept. 6 and 7 before returning to Ohio for the Jim Ford Classic at Fremont Speedway Sept. 13 and 14.
After Sunday’s race at the NAPA Wayne County Speedway, the point’s battle for the UNOH All Star championship and the Ohio Region title are getting interesting with Dale Blaney’s lead shrinking as Shaffer seeks his unprecedented fifth straight series title. Blaney is also trying to earn his fourth career series championship.

Another Milestone for Jimmy Blewett, Wins First at New Egypt
New Egypt, NJ (Aug. 31, 2013) – On a night when every feature was decided by one car length or less, Jimmy Blewett of Howell, NJ achieved another milestone in his young but storied career Saturday night as he picked up his first ever victory at New Egypt Speedway in the 30 lap 358 Modified event. Fresh off his first ever dirt win 3 nights earlier, Blewett took the lead on lap 4, and then dueled with defending track champion Ryan Godown over the entire second half of the event to earn the popular victory by just one car length.
Modified Rookie P.J. Oliver and Rick Holsten brought the field to the initial start only to see a 5 car pile up occur in turn two, which sent point leader Billy Pauch to the pits for repairs and ended David Van Horn’s night very early. The restart saw Holsten power to the lead with fifth starting Blewett charging quickly into second. It took only a handful of laps for Blewett to catch Holsten and then another to make the pass for the lead, which occurred on lap 4. Once in front Blewett and Holsten pulled out to a very large advantage, with Blewett in control. A lap 12 caution closed the field back up, and fourth place running Godown quickly charged into second as the green flag flew and immediately started to pressure the leader. Meanwhile, Pauch was charging back from the rear and he raced into third just after halfway. The second half of the event saw Blewett leading Godown and Pauch by just a couple of car lengths, with Godown pulling alongside of the leader on several occasions only to have Blewett masterfully drive back around him. The final 5 laps saw heavy lapped traffic come into play, which Blewett used to his advantage until the final lap. As the white flag flew, Godown mounted one final challenge in the final two turns however Blewett hit his marks perfectly and held on for his first career win at NES. Godown and Pauch crossed the line in second and third, followed by Rocco Infante and Willie Osmun. In a very classy move, Numerous drivers including Godown, Pauch, Osmun and John Stangle drove their cars to victory lane to salute the first time winner with a thumbs-up on their way back to the pit area.
The FASTRAK Crate Sportsman 20 lapper saw Frank Dorry of Ringoes, NJ battle side by side with this years Rookie champ Chuckles Stone for numerous laps, and then with Steve Hicks over the final 5 laps to capture his first win of 2013 by less than a car length. Dorry and Hicks finished one-two after starting on row number 7. Stone completed his best run ever in third place, chased by John Aumick and Matt Carmen.
Mike Haggenbottom of Levittown, PA captured the 20 lap Hilborn/TSRS 305 Sprint Main by half a car length over all-time leading winner Kyle Reinhardt. In an event that was only slowed once early on, Haggenbottom caught and passed Reinhardt with just 3 laps remaining, only to see Reinhardt catch back up and make one last ditch effort on the final turn to fall less than one length short at the finish. Defending champ and current point leader Haggenbottom posted his 4th career win, one behind Reinhardt’s total. Third place went to Mark Bitner driving the Nixon racing #202 for the first time. Adam Carberry, who seemed to be the fastest car on the track until he jumped the wheel of Reinhardt about halfway thru the event going for the lead, held on and finished a solid fourth. Phil Meisner Jr. rounded out the top five.
Sean Frey won his third feature in the 12 lap Fastrak Late Model main event to retake sole possession of the point lead by 1 point. Skip Syester was second and Al Burdge came home third.
Next Saturday Sept. 7, it will be First Responders Night presented by Roma/Investors Bank. All first responders with proper ID will receive FREE grandstand admission and there will be a parade of emergency vehicles on the track during intermission.

Wall Stadium Saturday night results
Posted by: | CommentsMike Fox Jr. Wins Microstock Feature at Wall Stadium Saturday Night.
The Sunday Series Microstocks had their moment in the spotlight Saturday night at Wall Stadium as they race under the lights.
In the heat races Bob Wagner showed his dominance in the first heat race by comfortable margin and in heat two, Tom Ervin wowed the grandstand as he took the lead going five-wide on the backstretch of lap 1 from an eight place starting position to take the lead. In that same race, Mike Fox Jr came from last place to take second place by the half way mark and became closing the gap on Ervin but did not get close enough to challenge for the lead. This set the stage for an exciting feature race between Wagner “The Microstock Master” and Ervin “The King of the Microstocks”.
Mike Fox Jr. won the 20-lap Microstock feature. Tom Ervin surged to the lead at the start of the feature with Don Wagner close behind. Behind the leaders Mike Fox Jr and Carl Weinacker slide inside of Dalton Rovira to take third and fourth positions. A few laps later Wagner passed Ervin for the lead as the two pulled away from the rest of the pack.
By lap eight,Wagner had pulled away to a very comfortable lead and was starting to deal with lap traffic. Rovira had worked his way past C. Weinacker and Fox Jr and was challenging Ervin for second place. A lap later, Rovira and Fox Jr. did a two-car draft past Ervin and the two began to close the gap on Wagner.
Rovira caught Wagner with three laps to go and went inside of Wagner to take the lead. Behind them, Fox Jr was starting to reel in the leaders. As Rovira and Wagner came out of turn four heading toward the checkered flag, they made contact and their wrecked cars spun toward the infield to stop a mere 20 feet from the finish line. Fox Jr, who was in third place prior to the wreck, drove by them to win the Microstock feature.
The Microstocks normally race on Sundays at Wall Stadium in the Sunday Series program that also races Karts and Champ Karts. Fox Jr is the defending Sunday Series Microstock champion and this win was his first win under the lights in front of a packed grandstand.
In victory lane a stunned Fox Jr was practically speechless. Fox said “ After the race, I was asking the corner worker who won the race when Tom (Ervin, who finished in second) pulled up along side me and told me I won, so I went to victory lane. I feels great to win but I feel bad that I had to win it this way. Dalton (Rovira) and Bob (Wagner) had the better cars.”

JAMIE KOSTIC AND KENNY GILMORE ARE FEATURE WINNERS IN SPECIAL SUNDAY NIGHT DOUBLEHEADER AT GRANDVIEW SPEEDWAY.
BECHTELSVILLE, PA August 24, 2013. . . Jamie Kostic earned a page in the Grandview Speedway history book as he drove his Amsoil sponsored No. 10J to victory in the 20-lap Hillborn Fuel Injection TSRS 305 Sprint feature race becoming the winner of the first 305 Sprint feature race ever run at the Berks County clay oval. In the companion 25-lap Sportsman feature Kenny Gilmore was able to wheel his Werley’s Cleaners No. 7 to victory giving him his second win of the weekend. The Fleetwood, PA racer was also able to win the Sportsman feature on Saturday on the same one-third-mile, banked clay oval.
In the 20-lap feature for 305 sprints David Martin led the field to the green but Stef Palmai was able to quickly charge to the front and lead for 14 laps holding off strong challenges from Kostic and Martin. On the 13th circuit a unique situation happened with David Martin being spun by Kostic in the second turn. Officials put Martin back in the second place position and Kostic received no penalty. Two laps later Martin was able to charge to the front and set the pace for three circuits before Kostic was able to use the outside to his advantage and take the top spot on the 18th lap and lead the balance of the race. The Swedesboro, NJ racer had a comfortable lead at the finish with Mark Bitner trying to close in to challenge but had to settle for second. Third place went to David Martin followed by Billy Pauch Jr., coming from 14th, and Kyle Reinhardt.
Tim Tanner took a violent end over end flip in the first turn during the early laps of the feature but was not injured.
Kevin Hirthler, filling in for his brother in the Pioneer Pole Buildings No. 4*, led the field of Sportsman stock cars at the start and held the first place position through 20 laps with Kenny Gilmore who challenged throughout the racer grabbing the lead on the 21st circuit and leading the rest of the way to gain his second feature win of the weekend. Finishing second was Hirthler (Boyertown) followed by Brad Brightbill (Sinking Spring), Joe Funk (Coopersburg) and Craig Whitmoyer (Hamburg).
In victory lane Gilmore said, “We used this as a practice session and tried something different.” Apparently it work as he claimed the win after also winning the Saturday night Sportsman feature. The race was a non-point event so it did not improve his position in the chase for the title as he trails Jared Umbenhauer.
Qualifying heat races, each 8 laps, for the 35 TSRS 305 Sprints were won by David Martin, Adam Carberry, Stef Palmai and Jeff Schall. Consolation races for the Sprints, again 8 laps, had wins earned by Tim Tanner and Kyle Reinhardt. Eight lap qualifiers for the Sportsman had wins going to Kenny Gilmore and Brad Brightbill.
Coming up on Saturday, August 31, 7:30 p.m. is an action packed tripleheader featuring the NASCAR 358 Modifieds, Late Models and Sportsman stock cars. Just two point races remain as racers battle for the various division point titles. Adult admission is $15 while youngsters 12 and under are admitted free.
