SETH ZACHARIAS GARNERS FIRST EVER INSINGER PERFORMANCE CRATE SPORTSMAN FEATURE WIN.  GARY SMITH CLAIMS 2O2O TRACK CHAMPIONSHIP.

 

KIRKWOOD, NY…Saturday night was Season Championship night at Five Mile Point Speedway which determined the 2020 Track Champions and ended the regular season of racing.  Third generation Crate Sportsman Rookie Seth Zacharias raced to his first career win in the 20 lap main event.  Gary Smith, who finished second claimed his first ever Five Mile Point Speedway Track Championship in the Insinger Performance Crate Sportsman division.  The post season starts on Sunday, September 13th with a fall fling series for all classes.

2020 marked the 70th consecutive season of racing at Five Mile Point Speedway.  Prior to start of the season a big schedule had been put in place for the anniversary season.  Things certainly changed in early March due to the Covid-19 pandemic.  Historically, this season will long be remembered for many things that included the first ever season with no spectators attending the racing.  Despite the NYS restrictions that were in place all season the race teams responded with outstanding racing and a renewed energy for having fun and racing hard.

Entering Saturday Gary Smith had been the point leader in the Insinger Performance Crate Sportsman division for the majority of the season.  His main contenders for the Track Championship entering Saturday were Matt Brewer, Brandon Loucks and Blaine Klinger.  For both Smith and race winner Seth Zacharias the night started off as a challenge Smith started last in the first of four heats and Zacharias started last in his heat race number two.  Both advanced far enough in their heat race to make the handicap for the feature event.  This would ultimately prove the difference in the championship hunt.

Brian Durbin and Zacharias led the twenty-seven car field to the green flag for the 20 lap championship event.  Zacharias used the racy outside line of the quarter mile to immediately take the race lead at the green.  Smith wasted no time as he advanced from fourth to second place on lap 1 and Tighe Sherlock followed Smith to immediately advance from fifth to third.  The first caution of the race flew on lap 5 and on the restart Smith worked past Zacharias for the race lead.  Unfortunately for Smith the caution flew again nullifying the pass.  For Zacharias, it was a wake up call and wasn’t caught off guard again.

When racing resumed Zacharias pulled ahead with Smith, Sherlock, Benke and Durbin all running in the top five slots.  It didn’t take long for the leaders to find lapped traffic as the race went caution free for an extended time.  Zacharias had established his lead over the field by the halfway mark but lapped traffic began to allow Smith to close the gap again.  At this point twenty-five of the original starters were still on the track.  The final caution of the race flew on lap 17 as a multi-car tangle took place.  This again put the veteran driver Smith on the back of the rookie for the restart.

Zacharias responded like multi-season driver when the green flew as he again opened his advantage over Smith.  When the checkered flags flew Zacharias had earned his first ever Sportsman victory.  Smith finished second and that was enough to secure his first ever Five Mile Point Speedway Track Championship.  Tighe Sherlock had another impressive outing coming home in third with Benke and Loucks completing the top five. Bobby Flood wound up fifth after starting ninth.  Last weeks winner Tyler Johnston was seventh, Joe Gustella finished eight with Matt Brewer advancing from eighteenth to finish ninth.  James Cornell made his return to racing and scored the tenth position.

Bob Hamm entered the evening as the point leader in the 600 Modified division.  His top contender for the Track Championship was multi-time feature winner Brett Gray.  Eli Akshar and Hamm started on the front row but it certainly would not be an easy event for Hamm. Akshar took the early race lead in the 20 lap feature event.  Gray wasted no time as he moved from his third starting position into the race lead on lap 3.  The title hopes for Hamm were in jeopardy as the caution flew as he was involved in a multi-car wreck in turn 1.  Hamm wound up with a flat tire and headed to the pits.  It looked as if Gray could possibly win the race and the track title.  As the race was about to go green Hamm made it back on the speedway and restarted in the rear.  At the green Gray immediately pulled away from Doug Lattner as he hoped to secure the track title and the win.  Hamm began to work his way back through the field as he was looking to protect his point lead and title hopes.  On lap 13 James Randall worked past Lattner for second place Chelse Beebe and now Hamm were in the top five. The final caution of the race flew on lap 17 when Randall spun Hamm in turn 1 as the race for second had heated up.  Hamm was able to pull away from the wreck and Randall headed to the pits.  The final restart saw Gray quickly open up his lead and go on for another win.  For the second straight week he collected his own bounty this time winning $450 for the victory.  Lattner, Dave Brown, Jason Sullivan and Akshar rounded out the top five.  Hamm finished sixth which proved to be enough to lock up his first Five Mile Point Speedway Track Championship.  His dad was a former Mini-Stock Champion at the speedway.

A tight point battle was taking place in the Factory Stock division as Justin Slezak entered the night as the point leader with Ray Lindquist and Adam Gilbert both within striking distance of the title.  Slezak took the initial lead in the 20 lap feature event but for the second straight week Josh Dumas powered past to take the point on lap 3.  The caution flew on lap 5 and on the restart Slezak re-established himself as the race leader.  His lead would again be short lived as two laps later Dumas again took over the top spot.  The leaders had a furious battle as Lindquist saw his title hopes extinguished as he headed to the infield on lap 7.  Dumas again looked for his first ever win but ultimately, he would see heartbreak again.  With only one lap remaining Dumas had a wheel come off exiting turn 2 taking away his victory hopes.  The week prior he had crossed the finish line first only to have the win taken away in post-race inspection.  Slezak would lead the last lap for the win and secure his first ever title in the process. Dumas made it back out to finish second with Kurtis Stickle having his best of the season in third.  Adam Gilbert and Billy Shoemaker completed the top five finishers.

Walter Decker entered the evening chasing Tim Vandemark in the FWD Four Cylinder Expert class title battle.  Decker led every lap to record his second straight win and collect the posted bounty on Vandemark.  Vandemark finished in second which was enough to lock up the Track Championship in the class. Dave Simms, Tim Degroat and Ken Evans crossed the line in that order.

Doug Newbigging and Owen Clark entered the evening tied for the point lead in the FWD Novice division and the duo matched each other’s effort the entire race.  Bethany Bertram raced out to the early lead but Newbigging took over on lap 2.  Clark chased Newbigging the entire race for the race lead and ultimately the Track Championship.  On the final lap Clark dove under Newbigging making contact as the two raced inches apart to the finish line.  Newbigging was credited for the win and the Track Championship with Clark finishing second.  The two congratulated each other with great sportsmanship in post-race inspection.  Gregg Slater, Austin Slater and Mike Jenks completed the top five.

Jeremy Warren led wire to wire in the 20 lap Crate Sportsman Futures division.  It was his first career win in the Crate Sportsman class.

Avery Decker was the Juniors Inner Loop winner and champion.

KRESSLEY POSTS BACK-TO-BACK MODIFIED FEATURE WINS; BELTZ SCORES SEASON FIRST SPORTSMAN WIN AND JOSKO TAKES 600 MOD WIN AFTER WINNER WHITBY WAS DISQUALFIED AT GRANDVIEW

BECHTELSVILLE, PA. AUGUST 30, 2020. . . Despite a lengthy rain delay, the racing on Saturday night at Grandview Speedway was able to be completed through the diligent work of the track crew and cooperation from the participants.

Eric Biehn came up five laps short of racking up his first 30-lap T.P. Trailers Modified NASCAR Advanced Auto Parts feature career win. Brett “The Threat” Kressley, who started 16th, chased Biehn down through the aid of lap traffic and was able to overtake him to score back to back feature victories.

The 25-lap T.P. Truck Equipment NASCAR Sportsman feature was decided in the closing stages also. Ryan Beltz, kept edging his way to the front and with two laps remaining he passed Steve Young for the lead and went on to capture his first win of the season in the event that went non-stop. Beltz became the tenth different winner of the season in the Sportsman division.

Erik Whitby led all 15 laps of the Excel 600 modified feature and crossed the line first, but was later disqualified. The win was most likely awarded to runner-up Jon Josko but as the speedway emptied Excel officials hadn’t really declared who the winner was.

Modified and Sportsman feature winners that met the necessary requirements received monetary awards from T.P. Trailers and a certificate from VP Fuels for product awards. The Dan’s Deli ½-way hoagie award recipients were Biehn and Young.

Darrin Schuler grabbed the early lead in the Modified feature from his second starting berth in the 28-car lineup to set the pace trailed by Mark Levy, Biehn, Richie Hitzler and Ryan Lilick.

The one and only caution period was brought out on the 11th lap by Jeff Strunk when he slowed his pace with a right rear flat tire. He was able to rejoin the field after a quick pit stop. On the restart Biehn shot past Schuler to become the new pacesetter. The battle for positions behind him was soon hot and heavy between Lilick, Kressley, Schuler and Hitzler.

Lap cars entered the picture around the 22nd circuit which made Biehn use caution to get around them. This situation allowed Kressley to close the distance and overtake second from Lilick on the 24th lap.

One lap later the lead changed for the third time with Kressley at the head of the pack.

Kressley never looked back once he gained control and was in the winner’s circle for the third time. Coming on strong at the end was runner-up and former point champion Mike Gular. Biehn and Lilick finished third and fourth for their best finishes with Doug Manmiller coming home in fifth. Sixth through tenth were Hitzler, Craig Von Dohren, Ryan Grim, Duane Howard and Lauden Reimert.

Ryan Grim, Hitzler, Kressley and Biehn won the heats. The consies were won by Alex Yankowski and Craig Whitmoyer.

Young, who started on the pole, took the lead on the initial start of the Sportsman feature with pressure coming from Tom Miller, Derrick Smith, Kenny Bock and Jesse Landis. Trying earnestly to get into the top five was Jesse Leiby, who was driving Nick Faust’s No. 322 rather than his own No. 9. Leiby succeeded and moved into fifth on lap nine and was on the move.

By the 19th lap Leiby was challenging Young, but in a few laps he lost several positions as he appeared to be developing problems.

Rapidly moving toward the front was Beltz and with laps remaining was second.

It didn’t take Beltz long to get by Young for the lead and Miller followed through for second on the 24th lap.

Beltz never faltered and went on to score his fourth career win trailed by Miller, Young, Smith and Bock. Rounding out the top ten were Kyle Lilick, Jesse Leiby, Jack Butler, Landis and Nate Brinker.

Heats were won by Young, Bryan Rhoads and Bock. Chuck Eckert, last week’s feature winner won the consi.

Whitby led all the laps of the red and yellow flag filled 600 Excel Modified feature. The race was shortened to 15 laps instead of the scheduled 20 due to all the mishaps and Whitby crossed the line first. However he was disqualified and the win most likely ent to second place finisher Josko followed by Corey Sechrist, Matt Warner and Ty Hoke.

Heat winners were Sam Sciachitano and Whitby.

Saturday September 5, a rather unique ‘Hard Charger Challenge 22’ will be presented by former racer and car owner, Joe “Geezer” Fanelli for current Modified drivers running at least three races this season, not in the top 15 in points (by 8-29), and have never won a Grandview Modified feature will be eligible.

The first-of-its-kind event will not only boast a $1022.22 payout to the winner, but they will also receive a provisional starting position in the feature event that evening.

It will also carry some extra incentive cash for the competitors finishing in the runner-up and third place positions plus other rewards.

Also included in the activities will be the continuing NASCAR track championship battles for T.P. Trailers Modifieds and T.P.Truck Equipment Sportsman with action set to get under way at 7:30 p.m.

SHEPPARD, WHRITENOUR, AND ELLISON ALL CAP OFF STELLAR SEASONS AT OUTLAW SPEEDWAY.
Shields, Payne, Hyer and Bruce all end as multiple winners.  Spalding bags first of the year.
Story by Kenny Shupp Jr.
(Dundee, NY) It is now very clear what will happen with the Bounty Money that was placed on both Super Matt Sheppard and Glen Whritenour earlier in the season at Outlaw Speedway.  Sheppard in the Modifieds and Whritenour in the Street Stocks completed the regular season with feature wins on Friday night.  They along with Wayne Ellison in the IMCA Hobby Stock Division all ended the regular point season as Track Champions and all three piled up nine feature wins a piece heading into post season play.
For Sheppard he will receive the extra $2,000 that was posted and Whritenour will grab the added $500. As for both men track owner/promoter, Tyler Siri stated, “I think its only appropriate that both these great competitors receive the Bounty Money I had put up on them several weeks ago.  They both handled the situation well and no track regular or outside driver that came in here could beat either one of them.  I think it’s only fair that both take the cash now that the regular season is over with.”
For Super Matt Sheppard in the Friendly Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram Modifieds his feature win really came as no surprise, however his customary reign of terror in the thirty-lap feature event was anything but a walk in the park. Brady Fultz led the fifteen car A Main event to the opening green flag and like several other times in 2020 looked poised to take home his first Modified feature win in several seasons at Outlaw.  For some twenty plus laps he led the charge keeping both Sheppard and AJ Slideways, Alan Johnson at bay.  Eventually the two full time veteran professional drivers were able to wear down the high flying Fultz denying him of the potential $4,000 pay day and take over the top two positions with Sheppard going onto his fifth feature win in the last seven starts at the popular Yates County oval.  For Johnson it was another solid top five run as he ended up the regular season at Outlaw with a pair of feature wins and will finish second in the final point tally coming up short of backing up his 2018 Outlaw Speedway Track Championship.  For Fultz it was yet another masterful performance piloting his family owned machine and he can now set his sights on the upcoming September/October schedule of events with the confidence that he can run with the very best in the business.  Like Fultz, Kyle Coffey ran a flawless Modified feature event in finishing fourth at the finish as the Doctor Danny Johnson piloting one of track owner, Tyler Siri’s potent Modifieds sponsored by Tim Gibson of Sunrise Insulation rounded out the top five finishers and wrapped up the regular season points in third place. Coffey came up just a few points shy of The Doctor and will end the year fourth in the final point tally. 
Second verse same as the first with Glen Whritenour in the Stan’s No Tubes Street Stock’s mirroring the performance of Super Matt.  His traditional romp thru the feature field was not a cake walk by any means as he had to contend with early event leader, Jake Karlnoski who gave GW fits for the first eight laps and then had to hold off fast closing invader, Dylan Cecce to pick up the twenty lap feature win.  For Whritenour is finished off an incredible last nine weeks as he won eight of those events with just one DNF stretching back to July 3.  In a rare 2020 appearance at Outlaw, 2019 Track Champ, Cecce was definitely on a mission and looking to claim the $500 Bounty placed on Whritenour by track owner, Boss Man Siri.  Starting eleventh on the opening grid and driving the Crawford machine on this night, Cecce put on a clinic driving thru the talent ridden field and once clear of traffic was able to cut into race leader Whritenour s advantage.  With the laps winding down and no late race yellow flags to help in his cause, Cecce came up just a few car lengths short at the finish as Shawn Boyton trailed in third.  June 12 feature winner, CJ Guererri ended a consistent regular season finishing fourth at the double checkered flags while Kane Stebbins rounded out the top five.
In the Hoosier Tire Sportsman Division, it was pretty much a foregone conclusion that Zach Sobotka would be crowned the 2020 class champion.  By virtue of four feature wins and a slew of other top five finishes in the class heading into the double point season point finale, Sobotka simple needed to just show up and take the opening green flag and it was official.  Tim Guild led the first fourteen laps from his front row starting position and looked to finally shake the gremlins that have plagued him through the entire 2020 race season.  Fourth generation driver, Alex Payne who had won twice thus far on the season was marching thru the field from the eighth starting spot and shot by Guild for the lead on lap fifteen and from there stretched the advantage and cruise to win three no the campaign.  Guild would hold on for a well-deserved runner up finish as he was chased across the line by Brett Buono in third. Tommy Collins Jr. capped off a great point year on the Hoosier Tire brand by finishing fourth while 2020 Track Champion, Zach Sobotka rounded out the top five.
In the Sunrise Insulation American Racer Tire Sportsman Division it was a three horse race heading into the twenty-five lap feature double point finale  One time 2020 class feature event winner, Billy Paine would lead the twenty-one car field to the opening green flag and lead the first eight laps.  Like Paine, Will Shields had also picked up one feature event earlier in the season.  He had a very patient strategy, moved around Paine for the lead on lap nine and from there it was game over as he cruised to win two on the campaign.  However, behind Shields it was nail biting time as Ajay Potrzebowski, who was leading the points heading into the event along with Chris Fisher and Karl Comfort were going at it for the title.  With double points on the line and just a few points separating the top three entering the event it could not be determined until the checkered flag waved as to who would be crowned Track Champ.  Both Fisher who won the title in 2018 and with no feature wins entering the event along with Comfort who claimed the title one year earlier in 2017 and had only one feature event thus far both had their work  cut out as Potrzebowski had been the dominate player with four feature wins.  With the laps winding down in an event that saw only three caution flags, Comfort finished second and was able to leapfrog over both Fisher and Potrzebowski and claim the title.  Early on in the event, Fisher looked positioned to earn the championship but faded late to a sixth place run just one spot ahead of Potrzebowski who dejectedly came up just a few points shy of claiming his first ever Outlaw Speedway Title.  Following both Shields and Comfort across the line was Casey Williams with an impressive third place finish followed by Zach Sobotka who was fourth and Troy Sperring in fifth.
Like the American Racer Tire Sportsman before them the IMCA Modifieds had no clear-cut favorite leading up to the last point night of the regular season.  At the beginning of the night a make-up feature for the IMCA Mods had to be run from a July 10 rainout.  In that event, Shawn Bruce was victorious for his second trip to victory lane in 2020 setting up another barn burner of a feature where anyone of three different drivers all having a mathematical chance of claiming the prestigious class title.  In the twenty-lap night cap event, invader Jared Spalding picked up his first feature win at Outlaw in 2020 after starting outside pole position.  All eyes were on the top three in points and as the double checkers waved in an event which had everyone holding their breath, Bad Brad Smith by finishing second, one position ahead of Kevin Smith who was third at the finish and Rodney Morgan who wound up fourth claimed the IMCA Modified Point Championship.  Brad Smith had but only one feature victory in 2020 on July 3 but showed great consistency on the entire season.  Kevin Smith had a pair of victories while the real story was 2018 Track Champion, Rodney Morgan who led the charge with six feature wins during the abbreviated season due to COVID 19.  Kevin Smith would finish third as the double checkered flags waved while Morgan and Shawn Bruce would claim fourth and fifth, respectively.
In the companion IMCA Hobby Stock Division it was a foregone conclusion that if Wayne Ellison could stay out of trouble, he would claim the track title.  Not only did the eight time feature winner in 2020 keep his nose clean, he charged thru the pack from his ninth starting position, went on for win number nine on the season and left little doubt that his dominating performance throughout the season truly earned him the title.  Chasing Ellison across the line in second was Jamie Eldredge Jr. while Casey Wagner would complete the top three podium spots.  Fourth went to Jack Ayers while Shawn Lloyd would round the top five finishers.  Bruce Kinner, who was second in points going into the night was unable to even start the feature helping Ellison’s cause while two time and defending class champion, Marc Minutolo all but conceded the title not even opting to compete on this night.  Minutolo had complied three feature wins along the way, but instead chose to run his Street Stock in hopes of claiming the Glen Whritenour Bounty Money.  Josh Oles was the only other feature winner in a division that saw Wayne Ellison virtually dominate the competition. 
Last but certainly not the least the Might 4 Cylinder Mini Stocks had to run their scheduled twenty lap feature event to determine the 2020 class champion.  With two men dominating the division throughout the season all eyes were on point leader, Jeremy Bunn and his closest rival, Bob Doolittle as both were not only looking at another feature win, but perhaps the class title that would go along with it. When all was said and done veteran driver, Ray Hyer had picked up his second feature event of the year as he started in row two, got to the front in a hurry and lead throughout.  He was followed across the line by Kenneth Evans and Jason Smart both of which who had their best runs of the season.  Scott Lehman was able to finish fourth at the end just one spot ahead of Jeremy Bunn who while finishing fifth would go on to his first ever Outlaw Speedway 4 Cylinder Mini Stock Track Championship.
Congratulations to all feature winners and all class track champions.

KRESSLEY EARNS SECOND MODIFIED WIN OF THE SEASON AT GRANDVIEW SPEEDWAY

CHUCK ECKERT TAKES FIRST CAREER SPORTSMAN FEATURE VICTORY

BECHTELSVILLE, PA. August 23, 2020 . . . On the previous Saturday night at Grandview Speedway, Brett Kressley was forced to be a spectator for the 30-lap T.P. Trailers Modified NASCAR Advanced Auto Parts feature race rather than a participant due to a disqualification after a heat race incident. He returned this week with a score to settle and wasted no time charging from his ninth starting grid to the front of the 28-car starting lineup. Kressley, behind the wheel of the Kressley Auto & Truck Sales No. 19K, passed Richie Hitzler for the lead on the 12th lap and went on to score his second win of the season to increase his career win total to 14.

Chuck Eckert, son of the late Chargin’ Charlie Eckert, led the entire way in the 25-lap T.P. Truck Equipment NASCAR Sportsman feature for his first career to become the ninth different winner in the division. It was an emotional win for him as he was so happy to be standing in victory lane.

Modified and Sportsman feature winners that met the necessary requirements received monetary awards from T.P. Trailers and a certificate from VP Fuels for product awards. The Dan’s Deli ½-way hoagie award recipients were Kressley and Eckert. Jesse Leiby earned an extra $100 bonus from the track for being the highest crate engine finisher

Modified racing had Hitzler as the early pacesetter at the drop of the green.

The yellow was thrown with two laps completed after Craig Whitmoyer hit the backstretch wall. Ray Swinehart was also involved and they were both out of contention. Hitzler held his own on the restart followed by Brett Gilmore, Ron Kline, Kevin Hirthler and Kressley.

Kline and Kressley put on quite a battle for second which gave Hitzler some breathing room. Once Kressley cleared Kline, his next mission was to take control of first.

On the 14th lap restart needed when Kyle Weiss got sideways on the backstretch and slowed down causing Craig Von Dohren, left with nowhere to go, to make contact with him. Kressley was still at the head of the pack with second through fifth now comprised of Duane Howard, Hitzler, Kline and Louden Reimert. Trying to break into the top five was Mike Gular, which he did by overtaking third on lap 17 to pressure 357.

The front runners had a tricky situation to deal with as they approached lap traffic by lap 17 and had to use heads up driving.

With five laps remaining the running order behind Kressley, who ran the bottom lane in turns one and two and the high lane in three and four because he knew the order behind consisted of Howard, Gular, Rick Laubach and Weiss were in pursuit and he wanted to take their line away.

Kressley dealt with the lapped cars and never looked back until the drop of the checkered to be the second repeat winner of the season. Finishing second was Howard followed by Gular, Laubach and Weiss. Kline, Reimert, Ryan Grim, Jeff Strunk, last week’s winner, and Hirthler rounded out the top ten.

Heats were won by Hitzler, Jared Umbenhauer, Howard and Kline. Dylan Swinehart and Brad Brightbill, now driving the BMS No. 14, won the consies.

Before the first lap could be recorded in the Sportsman feature the red was out for a multi-car first turn tangle. The second try was thwarted as cars were spun in the second turn. Finally when action went green again Eckert was in the lead trailed by Scott Kohler, already a feature winner this season; Chris Esposito, Nathan Mohr and Kyle Lilick.

The red was thrown once again on the 11th lap when rookie Mark Gaugler rode the first turn wall with heavy impact. He was shaken up a bit and the car was destroyed. Eckert resumed the lead on the restart while Esposito, Brad Arnold, B. Hirthler and S. Kohler tried to unseat him.

Eckert, a former Enduro driver that enjoys competing at the 1/3-mile oval and feels he needs more seat time, never surrendered the lead and went on to win the event. Esposito, who showed sportsmanship and congratulated Eckert finished in the runner-up spot trailed by Arnold, B. Hirthler and S. Kohler. Sixth through tenth were Jack Butler, Kyle Lilick, Mohr, Ryan Beltz and Jesse Leiby.

The month of August closes out for Saturday night stock car racing on the 29th with a tripleheader show that features the T.P. Trailers Modifieds, T.P.Truck Equipment Sportsman and Excel 600 Modifieds. Adult admission for the tripleheader is $18 while youngsters under are 12 admitted free. Racing gets the green at 7:30 p.m.

And on Saturday September 5 the Modifieds and Sportsman will be in action. Just two point events left in the season. Added on this night is the first “Hard Charger Challenge” which will feature racers now in the top 15 in Modified standings and have never won a Modified feature at Grandview.

Reminder: No NASCAR license is required for crew or fans. Drivers can purchase temporary licenses good for one event or 15 day license.

Lap sponsorships, $20 each, for the 50th annual Freedom 76, set for Saturday September 19, remain available by contacting Tommy Kramer or Tina Rogers at the track. Checks covering the laps to be sponsored, along with wording for the lap or laps, should be made payable to Grandview Speedway and mailed to 87 Wilt Road, Bechtelsville, PA 19505.

Flint Flies To CRSA Victory At Penn Can, Dedicates Win To Pete Richardson


CRSA Sprints Media Contact: Steven Ovens – turnfivemedia@gmail.com

Press Release – August 23rd, 2020 – Turn 5 Media photo

 

(SUSQUEHANNA, PA) – Penn Can Speedway has been awful good to Josh Flint in his Super Gen Products CRSA Sprints career. His last CRSA win was at “The Can” on October 15, 2016, with the quarter-mile track making up fifty percent of his tour wins. During CRSA’s July visit o Penn Can, Flint picked off seven cars to win the Eagle Enterprise, LLC Hard Charger Award.

 

Fast forward to a flawless night on Friday, the tour win column now shows three and the percentage of wins at Gary Folk’s Penn Can Speedway went up to sixty-six percent.

 

The only thing that Flint missed out on Friday night was a heat race win. The driver out of Cherry Valley, NY started fifth in his heat and made the Top 12 redraw by finishing third. With the stars aligning in the Susquehanna, PA skies- Flint drew the pole for the 25-lap A-Main.

 

Flint was intent on leaving absolutely no doubt, leading the opening three laps and putting a good distance on Dana Wagner’s No. 25w who advanced from the third starting position to second on the start. Lap 3 would see the event slowed to a halt with the red flag being displayed.

 

Thomas Radivoy was working hard to recover from drawing the tenth starting position and was working the outside cushion in Turn 3 with brute force. As he approached Turn 4 the right rear tire caught the cushion wrong and turned his Country Service Center No. 1Q hard to the right toward the track’s embankment. With Radivoy still hard on the gas, his Triple X chassis went airborne over the embankment causing severe damage, ending his night although Radivoy would be ok.

 

Once back under the green, Flint kept a safe distance in front of Wagner as two additional yellow flags slowed the field. Behind the battle for the race lead, Alysha Bay and Ethan Gray were dicing it up for the final spot on the podium.

 

Bay found traction down along the inside concrete wall, while the Rookie sensation out of Manchester, NY was trying to figure out how he could ride the cushion to sweep by off Turn 4. Gray would eventually get the fast line figured out and got by one of his mentors to take over third.

 

Sydney Prince was a part of that battle as well in her first start with CRSA this season. Prince won her heat race walking away and would cross the line at the checkered flag inside the Top 5. Unfortunately, Prince bypassed the scales post-race, resulting in a disqualification per CRSA rules.

 

Flint kept Wagner at arm’s reach to secure his third CRSA victory at the checkered flag. Gray held on for his career best CRSA finish with an impressive podium effort. Bay and Trevor Years filled out the top five- a much needed highlight for Years after having transmission troubles and a trailer flat tire on the way to the track.

 

“I was on the phone with Jason Barney tonight a lot, he’s helped me so much on this car since we switched over to X1,” reflected Flint in Victory Lane. But the emotion of the moment was quite evident.

 

“This win is for Pete Richardson. We got to race with him quite a bit in Patriots and he was just a great guy. This one is for him.”

 

Flint picked up an extra $100 courtesy of the Ruggles Racing crew who put the winner bonus up in Richardson’s memory.

 

For Dana Wagner, there were a lot of positives to take away even after coming up one spot short. Last time at Penn Can, Wagner went home with a tenth place finish and a damaged racecar.

 

“I’m pretty happy with second, we came home in one piece and the better guy won tonight. Tonight was way better than last time.”

 

Ethan Gray, his crew and his followers back home in New York were just ecstatic.

 

“Turn 3 and 4 seems to always bug me a little bit (here at Penn Can) but I got it figured out. This is awesome!”

 

Next on the schedule for the Super Gen Products CRSA 305 Sprints is a return trip to Paul Cole’s Land of Legends Raceway for a $1,000-to-win event courtesy of Mike Emhof Motorsports in Round 4 of the 2020 series. There will also be rolling top 5 cash bonuses on the line. The tentatively scheduled finale at Afton Motorsports Park is slated for October 9. Stay tuned for more information on this event.

THE HURRICANE, STEVE PAINE PICKS UP FEATURE WIN NUMBER 2 AT OUTLAW SPEEDWAY.
Ajay Potrzebowski Sr gets win four in American Racer Tire Sportsman, Glen Whritenour and Jared Hill in Street Stocks. Alex Payne in Hoosier Tire Sportsman and Kevin Smith in IMCA Modifieds each bag second wins of season.  Kenneth Evans grabs first 4 Cylinder victory and Wayne Ellison in Hobby Stocks continues to be unstoppable with win number eight on the season.  Ethan Decker continues to dominate Bandit Class.
Story by Kenny Shupp Jr.
(Dundee, NY) For the second time in 2020, Hurricane Steve Paine was able to work his way into the Outlaw Speedway victory lane.  Lance Dusett and Boss Man, Tyler Siri brought the twenty- car field to the opening green flag for the thirty- lap event.  Siri would immediately jump into the lead which he would hold down thru numerous caution flags which would slow the race. Steve Paine and Alan Johnson who both have visited victory lane at Outlaw Speedway in 2020 lined up eighth and tenth respectively while current second place point man, Danny Johnson started eleventh. All eyes were again on Super Matt Sheppard who would line up twelfth on the grid and by lap seven was already up to the seventh position.  Track owner, Tyler Siri had put up an additional $2,000 to any driver that could upend Super Matt and go onto the feature win.  However, with Sheppard suffering serious right side damage to his potent 9s machine while coming thru traffic he made yellow flag pit stops to try and have the problem rectified finally exited the event on lap seventeen and was officially listed in the fifteenth position and with that the Bounty Money continues onto next Friday.  While out in front Siri was continuing to set a blistering pace, but Paine, the brothers Johnson and Eric Rudolph were starting to climb up the leaderboard and with the help of caution flags on laps fifteen, seventeen and twenty allowed them to keep Siri within the cross hairs.  Finally, on lap twenty-three, Hurricane Paine was able to set Siri up for the winning pass and from there went on to back up his first feature win of 2020 on July 17.  Once out in front, Paine was able to stretch the advantage to a full three seconds as he cruised to the win.  Boss Man, Siri was able to hold off a hard charging Jim LaRock to claim the second spot with LaRock trailed at the line for third.  Kyle Coffey put on the drive of the night as the pilot of the Sweeteners Plus machine started fifteenth on the grid, took full advantage of the caution flags, moved thru traffic and claimed another top five by finishing fourth.  AJ Slideways, Alan Johnson bested brother Doctor Danny Johnson by one spot to round out the top five.
The evening got started off with the Stans No Tubes Street Stock make-up feature from July 10.  Glen Whritenour, like Super Matt Sheppard had Bounty Money placed on him for any driver that can stop his current five race win streak.  In the twenty-lap event Aaron Miller would grab the opening lead which he would hold on to for just one lap before CJ Guererri would take over the top spot. Guererri looked poised to pick up his second feature win of the season building up a sizeable lead.  However, Whritenour had other ideas and although starting in the tenth spot, GW quickly moved thru traffic and was running third by the halfway mark of the twenty-lap affair.  It took the potent number 15 machine just one lap to dispose of the second-place machine of John Carpenter and on lap twelve cleared Guererri for the lead and from there would open the advantage.  Only one caution flag on lap sixteen would slow the pace and allow Guererri one last shot at Whritenour, but it was to no avail as GW coasted to his seventy-feature win of 2020 and sixth straight.  Guererri held on for second at the finish chased across the line by Jared Hill, Quinn Sutherland and Aksel Jensen who completed the top five.  With that the Bounty Money would now roll over to the regular night feature event.
In the night cap CJ Guererri and Jared Hill would bring the fifteen- car field to the opening green flag with Whritenour mired down in starting spot number eleven.  Hill would immediately move into the lead and at the half way mark of the twenty-lap feature he was still holding court at the top while being chased by Jake Karlnoski and Whritenour who was now up to third, however that is as far as GW would get as on lap eleven he would suffer thru mechanical issues, drop back thru the field and finally exit the speedway on lap fifteen and was credited with a ninth place finish.  However, while not on the lead lap and running at the finish the Bounty Cash rolls over till next Friday.  With the fifth and final yellow flag waving on lap thirteen, Hill just needed to keep his nose clean as with both Karlnoski and Whritenour now out all he had to do was keep Guererri at bay to pick up his first win of the season.  For Hill, Guererri and third place finisher, Quinn Sutherland and fifth place runner, Aksel Jensen it was a very good night as all four finished in the top five in both feature events.  Bob Buono chased Sutherland across the line to claim fourth while Jensen was fifth at the double checkers.
In the Sunrise Insulation American Racer Tire Sportsman feature Casey Williams would jump into the early lead and would hold the top spot until lap six when three time 2020 feature winner, Ajay Potrzebowski would wrestle away the lead, withstand four cautions and one red flag that would slow the event and go on to the win.  The red flag stopped the event for nearly twenty minutes as a bone jarring crash found current high point man, Chris Fisher taking a violent flip.  In all some eight machines were included in the melee including second place point getter, Zach Sobotka along with Kaiden Dgien, Billy Paine, and invader, Jim Spano who were all done for the night.  After the track was cleared Potrzebowski would continue to build on his lead as two more caution flags would slow the pace on laps eleven and fifteen.  From there it was clear sailing for Potrzebowski as he went on to feature win number four on the year as he was followed across the line by early race leader, Casey Williams who had his best finish of the year.  Third place went to Travis Grover, Kevin Stevens in his first appearance was fourth while Alex Payne rounded out the top five finishers.
In the Hoosier Tire Sportsman Division Casey Williams and Travis Grover who both do double duty in the two sportsman classes would lead the twenty -car field to the opening green flag in their twenty-five-lap event.  Like he did on American Racer Tires, Williams would again take the top spot on Hoosier Tires and lead the opening five circuits.  Grover would take control from there and lead the next ten laps before fifth place starter, Alex Payne would wrestle away the lead from Grover and go on to his second feature win on Hoosier Tires this season.  Zach Sobotka would recover from his incident in the earlier evening American Racer Tire train wreck to claim third at the finish and maintain his current point lead in the class as he was chased across the line by Tommy Collins Jr. and Will Shields who ironically sit second and third in the points. In all some seven caution flags would slow the event, but for Payne it again was a stellar night with his win on Hoosiers and a fifth on American Racer Tires.
In the IMCA Modified Division Kevin Smith would start outside of the front row, take the lead early and go onto his second feature event win of the 2020 season backing up his previous win on July 17.  Rodney Morgan who came into the night with five feature wins on the season and looking to make it two in a row came up a bit short at the line and had to settle for second place as he was followed across the line by one time feature winners in Shawn Bruce and Bad Brad Smith who finished third and fourth while Jared Spaulding claimed fifth at the finish of the twenty lap main.
In Mighty 4 Cylinder feature action, Kenneth Evans would take full advantage of his outside front row starting position to claim his first trip to victory lane in 2020.  For Evans it was by no means a walk in the park as he had to withstand pressure from four-time feature winner, Bob Doolittle in claiming the victory.  In fact, outside of Doolittle’s second place finish the top five was littered with previous 2020 feature winners as Scott Lehman Jr. nailed the third spot, four- time feature winner Jeremy Bunn came home fourth as Ray Hyer rounded out the top five.  It was a well -deserved win for Kenneth Evans as he held off the very best that the class has to offer.
The IMCA Hobby Stock feature found a familiar face once again taking the feature win as Wayne Ellison was able to mow the field down from his sixth row starting spot and go onto claim feature win eight on the year.  Brian Lloyd and Casey Wagner brought the seventeen car field to the opening green flag, but most eyes were on the top guns in the class with Bruce Kinner lining up ninth, two time and defending class champion, Marc Minutolo in tenth and Ellison in twelfth.  Consistent runner Jeremy Trank lined up outside the third starting row.  With Minutolo having problems and finishing well back that left the door wide open for the remainder of the field and like he has done seven previous times this season, Wayne Ellison was just to much for the competition to handle as he got to the front and left everyone else fighting for second place.  At the finish it was once again Jeremy Trank coming up just one spot shy of winning his first feature win of the year as he claimed the runner up spot.  Bruce Kinner continues to keep pace with Ellison in the point standings as another consistent third place run will keep in second in the point tally.  Casey Wagner ran inside the top five all feature event and wound up fourth at the end while Amber Pierce was able to hold off sister, Allison Pierce to claim fifth at the completion of the twenty-lap feature.
In the Winners Circle Deli Youth Bandit Division Ethan Decker was able to hold off Abby Decker for yet another feature win and with that solidifying his huge point advantage in the class as the weeks continue to wind down.
Congratulations to all competitors.
Coming up next Friday, August 21 it will be a Regular Super 7 Show with another make up feature from July 10 included on the agenda.  As per NYS regulations there are still no fans allowed into the grandstand seating area, however those that cannot attend in the pit area, visual coverage of the event can be found on DirtTrackDigest.TV.
