WALL TOWNSHIP, N.J. ~ Young stock car racing stars Eric Mauriello of Howell and Jonathan Mandato of Jackson shared top honors at Wall Stadium Saturday night as each tasted victory in Sportsman division 25 lap main events. While it was Mauriello’s eighth career win and his second on the young season, Mandato’s victory was his first ever win in full size stock car competition.

In the first 25-lapper Charlie Kremer III of Toms River raced to the lead early as Mauriello started his run from sixth. By halfway Mauriello was the runner-up and immediately looked for a path into the lead. Mauriello’s winning move came with 18 laps complete as he drove to the outside lane and into the lead. Mauriello raced on to the win with Kremer second, Holmdel’s Andrew Krause third, Shawna Ingraham of Brick fourth and Howell’s Elliott Wohl fifth.

“It was hard getting around the No. 77 in the high groove tonight,” Mauriello said. “It was real slick out there so I need the car to be perfect. Tonight it was perfect.”

In the second Sportsman 25-lapper Mandato raced to the lead early and never looked back. Brick’s Robert Sutphin was his early challenger before Wohl took over runner-up honors in the late going. Ingraham, Willingboro’s Trevor Alspach and Krause completed the top five. Mauriello was out of this race early has his car hammered the fourth turn rail on lap 12. He was not injured.

“This car was wrecked pretty badly a couple of weeks ago,” Mandato, a former Quarter Midget racer, said. “Thanks to my family and crew it is perfect again. What has been a pretty bad season so far just got a lot better.”

Scott Riggleman of Manchester scored his second win of the young season in the 25-lapper for the Factory Stocks. Riggleman chased early leader Ed Bischoff of Howell before racing into the lead with just three laps to go. Bischoff crossed the finish line second, but failed a post race inspection. That moved Lakewood’s Paul Hartwig to second, while Brick’s Ronnie Mullen and Troy Gant were third and fourth and Andrew Krause was fifth.

Jackson’s Howie Conk raced into the lead on the ninth lap and went on to win the 25-lapper for the Street Stocks. It was the third win of the season for the defending division champion. Nick Shaw of Chatham, Bayville’s Mike Tillett, Jerry Stanzione of Keansburg and Jack Saygh of South Toms River wrapped up the top five. The race was stopped on lap seven when Holmdel’s Dominic Casola spun across the track and slammed a concrete barrier in the infield. Although the damage to his car was severe, he complained only about a sore foot.

Ryan Tidman of Levittown, Pa. took the lead on the eighth lap and raced on to win the 25-lapper for the touring TQ Midgets. Jon Gambuti of Allison Cummins, Buddy Sloed and Matt Roselli completed the top five finishers.

Wall Stadium roars back into action this Saturday night (May 26) with the Factory Stocks in the Memorial Day weekend spotlight in a 50-lap main event. The Modifieds will return for a 40-lap main event, while the Legend Cars and Street Stocks will also see action.

FULL STORY
POINT LEADER HOWARD WINS MOD FEATURE FOR 4TH TIME, PFEIL TOPS LATE MODELS, WHITMOYER AND LILICK WIN SECOND SPORTSMAN FEATURES OF THE SEASON AT GRANDVIEW

BECHTELSVILLE, PA May 20, 2012 . . . NASCAR Whelen All American Series 358 Modified point leader Duane Howard earned his fourth feature win of the season on Saturday topping the field in the 30-lap 358 Modified feature sponsored by his car owner BPG Racing at Grandview Speedway. In the 20-lap Late Model feature race Wayne Pfeil won for the first time since April 30, 2009. And in the two 25-lap Sportsman feature races Bob Lilick Jr. won the first one, the Mobil 1 Oil sponsored event left from a May 5th rainout and it was Craig Whitmoyer winning the second feature. Close to 100 race cars took part in the night of racing action.
In the first event of the night Corey Sechrist set the early pace and held the top spot in the 25-lap Mobil 1 Sportsman feature race until the midway point when Bobby Lilick charged to the front. A four car tangle at the 15-lap marker closed up the field but Lilick was able to hold the top spot. A caution at 20 laps allowed the field the close up on the leader once again but Lilick again held off all challengers. At the finish Lilick (Plymouth Meeting) had his unsponsored No. 53 in front as the checkered flag fell. Second spot went to Paul Kline (Muhlenburg Park) followed by Joe Funk ( Coopersburg), Craig Whitmoyer (Hamburg) and Tim Apgar (Flemington, NJ).
Wayne Pfeil took the lead at the drop of the green and led all the laps with his J&H Automotive sponsored No. 72 to win the 20-lap Late Model feature race in a close down to the wire challenge from current Late Model point leader Chuck Schutz (looking for his sixth Late Model title). The win for the Mohnton racer was his first since 2009. Chuck Schutz (Pottstown) held on for second spot. Jason Miller (New Tripoli) had his strongest effort of the second gaining third followed by two feature winner Ron Kline (Salford) and Sean Merkel (Gilbertsville).

Former URC Sprint car racer Jason Clauss grabbed the lead at the start of the 30-lap NASCAR Whelen All American 358 Modified feature race. Kyle Follweiler stopped on the track bringing out the caution as he raced to the pits hoping to get back out before the green came out. Ray Swinehart jumped into the lead on the restart but just two laps later, with eight laps in the record book, Chris Esposito stopped on the track to bring out the caution once again. Both Esposito and Follweiler were able to continue.
At the nine lap marker it was Brad Missimer putting his Schaefer Motorsports No. 327 in front of the field.
Missimer set the pace until just five laps remained when Duane Howard, charging from 15th spot, took the lead with nine time champion Jeff Strunk, who had started 16th, chasing him.
Another stop on the track to bring out the caution had Doug Manmiller making a trip to the pits and setting up a battle for the top spot with 27 laps in the record book.
Howard, in the Blue Bell Air sponsored No. 4, led the field to the checkered flag. The Oley racer had a few car lengths of breathing room over second place finisher Jeff Strunk (Pottstown). Six time champion Craig VonDohren (Boyertown) finished third followed by Missimer (Bechtelsville) and Mike Gular (Green Lane) who had started in 20th spot.
The first couple laps of the final event of the night, a second 25-lap feature for the Sportsman stock cars, had Erik Renninger leading. On the third lap of the feature John Kovatch IV went to the front. Kenny Gilmore got to the front briefly and then gave the top spot back to Kovatch. At the halfway mark Kovatch continued to set the pace with Kyle Borrow nipping on his rear bumper.
In the closing laps Brian Hirthler spun causing a caution that closed the field up behind the leader and on the restart Craig Whitmoyer, who had went to the rear earlier in the race, charged to the front. The Hamburg racer was able to bring his RoadRunner Racing Fuels sponsored No. 99 home first with John Kovatch IV holding on for second spot. Kyle Borror (Peach Bottom) finished third followed by Kenny Gilmore (Fleetwood) and Dave Dissinger (Hamburg).
All four feature winners collected cash bonuses from TP Trailers of Limerick, PA for carrying the TP decals clearly visible on both sides of the car. Each feature winner also picked up two dinners courtesy of Texas Roadhouse Restaurant of Trexlertown, PA.
Dan’s Deli Halfway Leader Awards were earned by the leaders of each feature race at the halfway mark and the 10th place finisher in each feature took home $50 gift certificates from Cargo Trailer Sales in Lansdale, PA.
Searock’s Lawn Care Sportsman Hard Charger Awards went to Craig Whitmoyer in the first Sportsman feature gaining 13 positions and did it again in the second Sportsman feature gaining 10 positions. Mike Gular earned the Bobby Gunther Walsh and Sponsors Hard Charger Award gaining 15 positions in the NASCAR 358 Modified feature. The Salvage Transport Hard Charger Award went to Chuck Schutz for going from 7th to 2nd in the Late Model feature.
Qualifying heat races, 12 laps each, for the NASCAR 358 Modifieds were won by Justin Grim, Addison Meitzler, Todd Smith and Ray Swinehart. The 10-lap Modified consolation races were won by Shawn Reimert and Terry Mietzler.
Three eight lap qualifying events for the Sportsman were won by John Kovatch IV, Corey Sechrist and Jared Umbenhauer. And it was Wayne Pfeil and Ron Kline winning the Late Model qualifiers.
Racing action returns to the one-third-mile, banked clay oval at Grandview Speedway on Saturday, May 26th, 7:30 p.m. with a tripleheader show of NASCAR 358 Modifieds, Late Models and Sportsman sponsored by Bashore Trucking.

Ryan Godown and Car Owner Rick Clay Hope For Another Winning Hand At Bridgeport Speedway May 27 Poker Series Event; Memorial Day Weekend Special Presents Plenty of Activities for Fans Plus First TSRS 305 Sprint Car Appearance of 2012

BRIDGEPORT, NJ - Ryan Godown hopes for another winning hand on Sunday, May 27 at Bridgeport Speedway.

Godown and the Rick Clay-fielded No. 88c team have set their sights on 'Hand Two' of the Poker Series at Bridgeport Speedway on Memorial Day weekend. The Colonial Pipeline-811 Awareness program at the South Jersey five-eighths-mile oval is headlined by a 40-lap, $4,000-to-win event for big-block Modifieds paying a complete Race of Champions purse: $1,000 for fifth, $500 for 10th and $300 to take the green flag.

Gates open at 4 p.m. with hot laps planned for 6 p.m. and racing at 7 p.m.

Off the track, there will be plenty of activities for fans enjoy. A driver autograph session is set for the grandstand area from 5-5:30 p.m., an opportunity for fans to meet the drivers who will be competing later that night.

WXTU 92.5 FM will be on hand with a "Ticket Stop" for the 28th anniversary show June 2 at Susquehanna Bank Center (Camden, N.J.) starring Miranda Lambert, Chris Young and Uncle Kracker. Seventy-five pairs of tickets will be raffled off that night. WXTU representatives will be on hand from 6-7 p.m.

Following the completion of racing, there will be music under the pavilion during a post-race party. Camping on the speedway grounds is encouraged.

Godown, of Ringoes, N.J., won the first Poker Series event contested at Bridgeport on March 31. After pitting for two fresh tires, Godown sliced through the field for a victory worth more than $4,000. He also took away an 'Ace' from the five-race series' first hand and gave Lebanon, Pa., area car owner Clay his first big-block victory. The Teo-Pro car is maintained by former PA 358-Modified racer Tom Umbenhauer.

At each 'Poker Series' event, the winner receives an Ace (A), second a King (K), third a Queen (Q) and so on down to the 13th-place finisher receiving a Deuce (2). Following the completion of the five-race series, the driver with the best poker hand earns $2,500, second $1,500 and third $1,000. The driver with the worst hand receives $1,000. Drivers must participate in all five events to be eligible for a points fund.

Rick Laubach of Quakertown, Pa., and Ryan Watt of Boyertown, Pa., both Bridgeport weekly regulars, finished second (King) and third (Queen), respectively in the March race. Hillsborough, N.J.'s Mike Barone, who recently won his first Bridgeport main event, was 13th in the opener and earned a 'Deuce' in March.

A shorter 40-lap distance for 'Hand Two' with the solid purse structure should prove economical for teams. Joining the Modifieds on the program are TSRS 305 Sprint Cars (their first visit to Bridgeport this season), Crate Sportsman and Outlaw Stocks. There will be no racing at Bridgeport on Saturday, May 26 in advance of the 'Poker Series' event.

Grandstand admission is $25 for Adults and $23 for Seniors (65 and over) and Students (with ID). Kids 12 and under are admitted FREE. Pit admission is $30 for Bridgeport members and $35 for non-members. Rules for Modifieds are identical to the Race of Champions event run in March.

The remaining Modified 'Poker Series' dates are Wed., July 4, Mon., Sept. 3 and Sat., Nov. 10.

Custom 'Poker Series' apparel produced by Bob Hilbert Sportswear (Boyertown, Pa.) will be on sale. The apparel sold out on March 31 and a second order is being readied for Memorial Day weekend.

For further information on Bridgeport Speedway, visit www.bpspeedway.com. Bridgeport Speedway, located just minutes from Pennsylvania and Delaware off I-295 Exit 14, is a state-of-the-art auto racing facility with a five-eighths-mile clay oval and a quarter-mile clay oval embedded in the center.

SHORT STORY
MIKE KELLNER WINS SECOND LATE MODEL FEATURE OF THE SEASON, RAIN WASHES OUT TWO FEATURES AT GRANDVIEW SPEEDWAY

BECHTELSVILLE, PA May 6, 2012 . . . Before the rains came wiping out the final two racing features ( NASCAR 358 Modifieds and Sportsman) Mike Kellner was able to wheel his own PowerWashers/Mary Kay No. 57 to victory in the 20-lap Mobil 1 Late Model feature race at Grandview Speedway on Saturday night.
The NASCAR 358 Modifieds were coming out for their 30-lap feature when an unexpected rain started to fall. Officials tried waiting for the rain to stop but after at least a 30-minute wait the balance of the show was postponed.
This Saturday night, May 12th, the NASCAR 358 Modified feature that was rained out will be the first event on the track followed by a full show of NASCAR 358 Modifieds, Late Models and Sportsman all sponsored by Whelen Engineering. The rained out Sportsman feature will open the show on Saturday, May 19th as part of BPG Racing Night.
Doug Walton was the early leader in the 20-lapper for Late Models with Mike Kellner charging to the front on the sixth circuit
Chuck Schutz spun in the first turn with six laps completed but was able to continue. The five time champion was able to finish eighth in the feature race.
At the 10 lap marker Kellner and Ron Kline had quite a battle going on and for the next few laps swap positions back and forth. However on the 14th lap Kellner took charge and held on to the top spot right to the checkered flag picking up $900 for his second win of the season. The winnings included a $100 bonus from TP Trailers of Limerick.
Second spot went to Kline followed by Sean Merkel, Andy Ressler and Danny Snyder.

FULL STORY
MIKE KELLNER WINS LATE MODEL FEATURE AT GRANDVIEW, RAIN WINS THE 358 MODIFIED AND SPORTSMAN FEATURES

BECHTELSVILLE, PA May 6, 2012 . . . Young Mike Kellner was able to beat the stellar field of Late Model racers in the 20-lap Mobil 1 feature race at Grandview Speedway on Saturday night but rain beat the rest of the feature racing events
An unexpected rain shower started to fall as the NASCAR 358 Modifieds were lining up for the start of their 30 lap feature. Promoter Bruce Rogers kept the cars running on the track hoping to keep the clay track intact but finally the rain proved to win out and the scheduled Modified and Sportsman features had to be postponed.
The rained out 30-lap 358 Modified feature will now kick off the Saturday, May 12th Whelen Engineering sponsored night of racing which will also include a full show of Modifieds, Late Models and Sportsman stock car racing. The Sportsman feature that was rained out will open the BPG Racing Night on Saturday, May 19th before a full show of Modifieds, Late Models and Sportsman racing is presented.
Doug Walton was quick to put his racer in front of the starting field in the 20-lap Late Model feature race with Dave Ogin right on his rear. After six laps Mike Kellner, coming from fifth starting spot, took the top spot from Walton with Andy Ressler and two feature winner Ron Kline chasing.
Current Late Model point leader Chuck Schutz spun going into the first turn catching an infield tire marker bringing out the caution. Despite the “wrestling match” with the tire Schutz was able to continue restarting at the rear of the field and coming on to finish eighth.
At the midway point of the feature Kellner had Ron Kline right on the rear of his PowerWasher/Mary Kay No. 57.
For a few laps Kellner and Kline entertained the fans swapping positions back and forth on a track that proved to be super smooth and lightning fast.
At the 14 lap marker Lansdale based Kellner took complete control and set the pace for the balance of the 20-lap feature holding a comfortable lead at the finish. Ron Kline (Salford) came home second after having to hold off several challenges from third place finisher Sean Merkel (Gilbertsville). Andy Ressler (Macungie) had a strong effort, challenging for the lead early, and finishing fourth while Danny Snyder (Green Lane) came from 16th to finish fifth.
The strong effort by Snyder earned him the Salvage Transport Service Hard Charger award.
Kellner picked up the Dan’s Deli Halfway Leader award and two dinners courtesy of the Texas Roadhouse Restaurant in Trexlertown, PA. In addition Kellner earned an extra $100 for carrying the T.P. Trailers of Limerick decals clearly visible on his race car.
Cargo Trailer Sales of Lansdale presented a $50 gift certificate to Steve Nederostek.
Qualifying heat races for the Late Models, each eight laps, were won by Wayne Pfeil Jr. and Andy Ressler.
Sportsman qualifiers, each eight laps, went to Bobby Lilick, John Horvath IV and Corey Sechrist.
Twelve lap heats for the NASCAR 358 Modifieds were won by Duane Howard (coming from last), Doug Man miller (coming from last), Tommy Scheetz Jr. and Jon Kellner Jr. Two consolation races for the Modifieds, each 10 laps, were won by Chris Esposito and Meme DeSantis.
