Press Releases and Results / The Hill Speedway - Results August 14th
« on: August 17, 2020, 02:03:43 PM »
 Late season points battles heated up in most Hill Speedway divisions as close finishes were the norm on NAPA Auto Parts Night. Rich Powell held off repeated challenges to record his first feature win of the season in the Snell Metalfab Crate Sportsman,  a late race pass for the lead gave Doug Stack Jr. his fifth Street Stock feature win in a row, and Matt Browning matched Stack's record by topping the Front Wheel Drive Four Cylinder feature. Mike Morse stayed perfect in the Pure Stocks, unbeaten in points races this season and Keith Jack Lamphere passed the IMCA style Modified points leader at the two to go signal to take his division's flag. Chad Homan moved forward in the points standings with his win in Crate Late Model division,  and after two runnerup finishes in a row, A.J. Lane got back to Victory Lane in the Rear Wheel Drive Four Cylinders.

      Rich Powell overpowered Kinser Hill to  lead lap one, and held onto the top spot to tighten up the point standings in the Snell Metalfab Crate Sportsman. Hill was victem of mechanical failure on the fourth circuit and Tony Harris moved into the second spot. Geoff Powell powered into the second spot on lap six, and kept the pressure on his brother for the remainder of the event. Harris, Rich Talada, and Dalton Maynard battled the third spot, until Maynard also succumbed to mechanical woes with four laps to go. Quentin Buchanan crossed the finish line fifth, but was disqualified by tech officials and Chris Clemens was credited with fifth. 
FEATURE FINISH: Rich Powell, Geoff Powell, Tony Harris, Rich Talada, Chris Clemens, Eric Jensen,  Braden Buchanan,  Dalton Maynard,  Kinser Hill,  Jason Benjamin, Joe Gurastella, Quentin Buchanan.
Heats : Kinser Hill, Tony Harris
 
       Street Stock rookie Jakub Ingham grabbed the early lead from his front row starting spot, fighting back challenges by Bobby Maynard, Lou Sharpsteen, and Eddie McKernan. Points leader Doug Stack Jr. pulled to Ingham's bumper on lap 10, but it took four laps to make the pass. Ingham didn't make it easy for the new leader, as he shadowed Stack closely for the remaining laps. Dustin Maynard ran strong in the top five for much of the race, and crossed the finish line in third. Doug Stack Sr. ended a steady run in fourth, and Earl Zimmer rounded out the top five.
FEATURE FINISH: Doug Stack Jr. , Jakub Ingram, Dustin Maynard, Doug Stack Sr., Earl Zimmer,  Bobby Maynard, Eddie McKernan, Lou Sharpsteen,  Dave Roberts,  Bill Tice, Trevor Williams, John McAdam, Bobby Hall Jr., Mike Koser, Howard Bailey,  Thomas Moon,  Dan Force,  Ricky Davis, Dylan Hinkley
Heats: Jakub Ingram, Eddie McKernan

          Dillon Maryott, Greg McKernan,  Adam Delgrosso, and Brad Benjamin started a four car lead debate at the drop of the green flag in the Front Wheel Drive Four Cylinder feature, with Matt Browning joining the group by the third lap. On lap four, Browning was fourth, third on the fifth lap, second on lap six, and out front to score lap seven. The rest of the field tried, but Browning held on to pick up his seventh win of the season. Adam Delgrosso overpowered McKernan to lock onto second. Benjamin took over the third spot with four laps remaining,  and Josh Bailey led Maryott across the line.
FEATURE FINISH: Matt Browning,  Adam Delgrosso,  Brad Benjamin,  Josh Bailey,  Dillon Maryott, John Maynard, Mike Wilcox,  Randy Lane, Dakota Decker,  Greg McKernan,  Greg Slater,  Kenny Benjamin Jr., Jake Lamphere,  Steve Castle, Ryan Wood.
Heats: Brad Benjamin,  Matt Browning

           Mike Morse grabbed the top spot on the first lap of the Pure Stock feature and led every lap to keep his record perfect for 2020 in being undefeated in feature races. Cole Burgess and Bobby Maynard tried to keep the pressure on throughout, but Morse was able to maintain the lead. Maynard retired on lap fourteen, leaving Burgess in sole posession of second place. Josh Parker and Donny Burgess entertained the crowd with a spirited battle for third, with Parker in the spot at the finish. Justin Hall drove his Ford Thunderbird to a solid fifth place.
FEATURE FINISH: Mike Morse, Cole Burgess, Josh Parker, Donny Burgess, Justin Hall,  Zack Kriner, Josh Vanderpool,  Bobby Maynard, Tim Perham.
Heat: Donny Burgess
 
           Coming into the night's races, Jake Maynard held a slim nineteen point advantage over Keith Jack Lamphere as the points season winds down. Both driver's stepped up and put their best effort on. Both drivers recorded third place finishes in their qualifying races, and the stage was set for the twenty lap NAPA Auto Parts main event. Maynard took the lead at the first lap,  with Brad Sites tight to his rear bumper. Lamphere fought his way through the pack and by the fifth lap, he was solidly in third,  with the top three in a tight group. Lamphere got by Sites on the fourteenth lap, and challenged for the top spot on every corner. A caution flag on lap eighteen changed everything, as on the restart,  Maynard's car stumbled momentarily, Lamphere shot to the bottom and led the way past the flagstand.  Maynard settled for second at the finish, with Keith Jack recording his third feature win in a row in his quest to unseat the defending champion. Sites crossed third, with Eddie Sites fourth and Ray McClure rounding out the top five.
FEATURE FINISH: Keith Jack Lamphere,  Jake Maynard, Brad Sites,  Eddie Sites,  Ray McClure,  Mark Griffin,  Doug Lantz,  Gary Lamphere,  Keith Lamphere,  Harry Ely, J.W. Lamphere, A.J. Hunsinger
Heats: Keith Lamphere,  J.W. Lamphere

            Chad Homan made his first start at The Hill back on June 26, and since then the northern New York pilot has made Victory Lane his home, this night scoring his fifth feature win in a row in the growing Crate Late Model class. John Waters made the over two hour haul to the track and provided stiff competition, but had to settle for second, closely followed by Brian Knowles in his third trip to the speedway. Points leader Darin Horton recorded a strong fourth and dirt track rookie Mike Epler recorded a respectable fifth. 
FEATURE FINISH: Chad Homan, John Waters, Brian Knowles,  Darin Horton,  Mike Epler, Steve LaBarron, Ernie Martin,  Joe Lane
Heat: Chad Homan

          The points battle in the Rear Wheel Drive Four Cylinders is also a close one with A.J. Lane leading Larry Colton by eleven points. Lane and Colton both won their heats, and were ready for the final feature of the night. Scott Bump set the early pace, with Lane slipping by on the fifth circuit. Colton moved to second two laps later, and the battle was on. Lane held off every challenge, improving on his two second place finishes in the previous weeks by taking the win. Colton, who won last week, settled for second. Anton Smith, in only his second start of 2020 at The HILL , grabbed the third spot on the nineteenth lap, with Bump holding on to fourth. Zach Bruce finished fifth.
FEATURE FINISH: A.J.Lane,  Larry Colton,  Anton Smith,  Scott Bump, Zach Bruce,  Mike Navone,  Eric Ellsworth, Billy Groover, Kevin Garland, Brett Neally,  Shane Rockwell, Brett Gleason, Andrew Collins, Shawn Gowin, Trevor Belcher,  Randy Mathews.
Heats: Larry Colton, A.J. Lane

Press Releases and Results / STRUNK, DAKOTA KOHLER AND PETERS FEATURE WINNERS AT GRANDVIEW
« on: August 17, 2020, 02:02:47 PM »
STRUNK, DAKOTA KOHLER AND PETERS FEATURE WINNERS FOR THE FIRST TIME THIS SEASON AT GRANDVIEW SPEEDWAY ON SATURDAY NIGHT

BECHTELSVILLE, PA. AUGUST 16, 2020 . . .  Jeff Strunk, the “Bechtelsville Bullet,” has been running a Teo chassis car for the past several years and had his share of ups and downs which did include several successful campaigns. Saturday night at Grandview Speedway, the Glenn Hyneman-owned No. 126 team unveiled a brand new Bicknell mount that the crew built in a week. It was fast right off the trailer as he started the evening activities with a win in the third qualifying heat. The 10-time point champion started 12th in the 30-lap T.P. Trailers Modified NASCAR Advanced Auto Parts feature and by the 11th lap he overtook Ray Swinehart for the lead. Strunk wove his way through lapped traffic in the later stages and went on to score his first win of the season by a 6.497 margin over runner-up Mike Gular, also a past champion who also received the Hard Charger award charging from 19th to second.

In the 25-lap T.P. Truck Equipment NASCAR Sportsman feature winner Dakota Kohler, who was been close on two different occasions to claiming his first career victory only to be denied, turned the tables and parked his No. 59K in victory lane for his first career win in his rookie season to become the eighth different winner in the division.

Brett Peters won the 15-lap Open Competition Outlaw Vintage Car feature.

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 Strunk and Kohler. Kohler also earned an extra $100 bonus from the track for being the highest crate engine finisher. Jesse Leiby was the Sportsman Hard Charger going from 20th to fifth.

In Modified action Ray Swinehart passed Darrin Schuler for the lead on the fourth lap restart that was needed when Kyle Weiss spun in the third turn.

By the fifth lap Strunk advanced to second and was giving Swinehart a run for the money.

The lead changed hands on the 11th lap when Strunk dove underneath Swinehart and into the top spot.

The real battle behind Strunk, who was already weaving his way through lap traffic, was hot and heavy between Swinehart, Duane Howard, Mike Gular and Craig Von Dohren – second, 16th, 19th and 15th place starters respectively.

 

Gular took over the runner-up spot on the 24th lap which was the same position Swinehart, Howard and Von Dohren were vying for making it a four-way battle to see if anyone could reel Strunk in who was setting a torrid pace.

No more restarts were needed so no one was given the opportunity to try and grab first from Strunk and at the drop of the checkered he christened the new mount with his 74th career win. Chasing him across were Gular and Howard. Before Swinehart could cross the line the car broke ending his fourth place run as he dropped to 11th. Von Dohren and Dylan Swinehart then completed the top five. Sixth through tenth were Jared Umbenhauer, Doug Manmiller, Ryan Grim, Brett Gilmore and Dillon Steuer.

Justin Grim, Bobby Gunther Walsh, Strunk and Brad Grim won the heats. Consi winners were Ryan Grim and Ron Kline.

Sportsman action saw polesitter and rookie Mark Gaugler lead for two laps before the red was thrown for a massive homestretch incident which made it look like a parking lot after some of the front runners got jostled around. When action went green again Kohler was at the head of the pack followed by Parker Guldin, Jack Butler, Brian Hirthler, the current point leader and Jesse Leiby.

By the ½ way marker Kohler was way ahead and Butler was now second in pursuit of him.

With two laps to go Butler reeled in Kohler since Kohler was somewhat hampered by the slower traffic and Butler was putting an all-out effort to pass him.

Coming in for the checkered Butler made a valiant effort to grab first, but fell short by 0.147 seconds. Third was Brian Hirthler followed by Guldin, who finally had a change of luck and finished a feature race and Jesse Leiby. Rounding out the top ten were Kyle Lilick, Brad Arnold, Chris Esposito, Kyle Smith and Mark Kemmerer.

Heat winners were Kenny Bock, Hirthler and Mike Mammana. The consi was won by Kyle Lilick.

In the Vintage class that sported how the cars looked years ago, Brett Peters won the event followed by Wes Cassel, Scott Schaeffer, the winner in a previous outing; Jon Lines and Dave Dissinger.

The battle for the NASCAR championships continues on Saturday night, August 22nd, with another action filled doubleheader featuring the T.P.Trailers NASCAR Modifieds and the T.P.Truck Equipment, all part of the Advance Auto Parts NASCAR Weekly Series.

Spectator gates swing open at 5:30 pm. With the first racing event getting the green flag at 7:30 p.m. Adult admission for the tripleheader is just $15 while youngsters under 12 are admitted free. Pit admission with license is $35 and without $40.

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.

Press Releases and Results / Janczuk 3rd To 1st On Final Lap In Land Of Legends Thursday Thriller

Janczuk 3rd To 1st On Final Lap In Land Of Legends Thursday Thriller
Sheppard & Grant take checkers after narrow wins in final mid-week show of season

*Matt Sheppard victory lane photo attachment by Don Romeo

Canandaigua, NY – Aug. 13, 2020 – Tom Skibinski, Land of Legends Raceway PR

Another hot summer night produced yet another barn-burner at Land Of Legends Raceway and when the 'Thursday Groundpounders Spectacular' ended on this occasion it was a pair of Matts surviving nail-biters in the spirited special presented by Honeoye Auto Parts.

Matt Janczuk wove his way from third to first over the final circuit to capture the 25-lap Speed Connection Sportsman showstopper while Matt Sheppard staved off every effort thrown at him by Erick Rudolph the final ten miles to take top honors in the 40-lap Pepsi Big-Block Modified main.

The excitement never abated in the full-fender finale as second-year speedway stalwart Jimmy Grant turned back numerous challenges from veteran Mike Welch to secure the coveted Street Stock victory.

The intrusion of COVID-19 has certainly created an odd calendar of motorsports events in Canandaigua this season, with a third of the shows staged mid-week instead of the traditional weekend fare most familiar to fans and racers alike.

Janczuk found nothing strange in a rare trip to wine country after leading less than a quarter-mile to win his fifth feature (2 each at Can-Am & Utica-Rome speedways) of this unprecedented pandemic-shortened season, his first-ever at the historic Ontario Co. Fairgrounds oval in dramatic fashion.

“I told Paul (Cole, LOLR Promoter) this place has had me doomed for a long time,” remarked Janczuk, 36, after collecting the $1,000 winner's share. “A little bit of luck played into our hand there but its just a testament to this team and everyone that's come on board.”

“Not a lot of experience here but we've had a couple top-5s. Just not hitting on all 8 (cylinders) earlier in the heat race but we made some adjustments … just one heckuva race. Too bad the fans weren't filling the stands to see it, a great race,” added Janczuk, who last season finished fourth in the June Sportsman Series race before settling for second behind 2019 LOLR points champion Kevin Root in the Series return to the fairgrounds in September.

First-year track regular Torrey Stoughtenger led the opening lap despite Mike Fowler briefly locking bumpers to get sideways out of turn one to force out a yellow flag and require a complete restart. With racers in the 26-car field dicing three-wide in his rear-view mirror, Stoughtenger remained on the point after the restart, chased early by front row partner Alex Payne and third starting Nick Guererri.

Pulling seventh on the grid, Janczuk passed Western NY runner Andrew Smith for fourth on lap seven then set his sights on Payne as Stoughtenger and Guererri had built up a big advantage with 10 laps complete. Stoughtenger slid high in turn two to open the door for Guererri two laps later while Janczuk and Root took over third and fourth by the halfway mark.

C.J. Castelletti looped his no. 117jr. machine on lap 17 and on the ensuing restart contact between Janczuk and Root down the frontstretch knocked Root off the pace to end his night (25th) in the pits with a flat left-rear tire. Back under green, Kyle Inman blasted from seventh to third aboard his potent no. 20K Troyer mount, and with 20 laps on the scoreboard the trio of Guererri, Janczuk and Inman pulled away from the pack as Stoughtenger faded to battle it out with Payne.

Inman swept high into second on lap 21 and with chief starter Scott Hixson unfurling the white flag nosed ahead of Guererri across the line to lead lap 24. Yet in a sudden surge of strength down low, Janczuk dove under Guererri exiting turn two. The DIRTcar star from Durhamville wasn't done yet, carrying his momentum under Inman out of turn three and putting the #33x Finish Line Designs-Fastline Performance-Holy Smoke BBQ/Bicknell entry out front with a hundred yards to go.

“The car was real tight on the bottom of (turns) three and four but I knew I couldn't give up,” Janczuk said. “Kyle rolled the outside there so I knew I had to move around because Guererri was real fast. I knew we were real good on the bottom of one and two but it was such a fine line and I had to hit it perfect … and that last lap we hit it perfect.”

“Not sure, might have bumped (Root) on the frontstretch, he was squeezing the outside of me. There was bite coming off the bottom and we slid up. Don't know what happened to him if he got a flat or what, but we did make a little bit of contact. Finally nice to get a win here, hope to be back again before the (Series) show in September,” Janczuk added.

Inman and Guererri followed Janczuk across the line with Payne and two-time LOLR winner Zach Sobotka next in line. Stoughtenger, track points leader Matt Guererri, Garrison Krentz, 16 year-old Payton Talbot and 20th starting Kevin Ridley rounded out the top-10.

Noah Walker from Wheatfield copped his second Sportsman B-Main of the 2020 campaign, leading all but the first time around steering his no. 22 Military Road Save-A-Lot /Bicknell ride in the 15-lap curtain-closer.

“Its all about laps for us, trying to learn something new every time out,” Walker said. “Its a very difficult track, we're learning more and more to bring back next time.”

A multi-time points champion in Canandaigua, Sheppard has little to learn about circling the hallowed half-miler. He found out on Thursday though in his fourth race of the year at LOLR that he still has a few loose ends to take care of with his C.C. Performance-powered #9S Hurlock Auto&Speed-Westmoreland Golf Glub-St.Lawrence Radiology/Bicknell car.

“Think we were fortunate to hold (Rudolph) off … man, this car wouldn't turn in a 20-acre field tonight,” exclaimed Sheppard, 38, who still repelled second-generation standout Rudolph the second half of the race to score his 79th LOLR Big-Block win. While it was his 14th checkered flag taken in 2020, it was his first in Canandaigua after his new Saturday night hangout of Orange County Fair Speedway in Middletown went dark recently due to ever-tightening COVID restrictions.

“It almost cost us the race tonight and definitely cost us last week with Jimmy (Phelps). Not really sure what's going on, just can't get the thing to steer in here. Been kinda strange. Just kept slowing down more and more (to compensate). You don't really want to especially when there's a guy on the outside of you breathing down your neck, but you're still better off slowing down and hitting your marks. We definitely had to earn this one,” Sheppard said.

Mirroring the Sportsman format, the top-three heat race qualifiers re-drew for feature starting positions and Sheppard filed in eighth on the 29-car grid. Pole-sitter Kyle Coffey paced the pack early before division points leader Larry Wight charged high out of turn two to grab another lead in search of a fifth win.

'Lightning Larry' opened up a commanding lead after a half-dozen circuits while 'Super Matt' and Rudolph closed in on the front-five just as hungry for the $4,000 first-place payoff. Sheppard stormed into second on a lap nine restart and when Daniel Johnson Jr., Lance Dusett and Jimmy Zacharias tangled between turns one and two, the Waterloo warrior got another chance to challenge Wight when the caution lights reappeared.

Wight was relentless on the restart, resuming a comfortable advantage as Sheppard and a charging Rudolph remained in contention ahead of last week's winner Phelps and Coffey. A third yellow flag fell on lap 20 when Wight suddenly dropped off the pace to relinquish the lead, a broken axle the reported culprit after the Phoenix NY pilot had battled in traffic seemingly with the race well in hand.

Sheppard inherited the top spot at the halfway point with Rudolph on his bumper followed by Phelps, 16th starting James Sweeting and Tim Fuller, and for the last 15 laps the lead duo kept the final result in doubt. Lap after lap Sheppard clung low while Rudolph searched the high side for an even faster way around. But each time Rudolph built up enough momentum to pull alongside, yellow lights flashed and he had to restart from scratch.

Billy Dunn's Teo Pro car rolled to stop on lap 26 and Russell Morseman did the same in turn two on lap 37. Then with Rudolph on the verge of making a final bid up top, Matt Farnham's car stopped out of turn two moments before the white flag could be thrown. A last ditch drive on the last lap carried Rudolph over the turn two berm, dropping him to fourth behind runner-up Phelps and Wight's teammate Billy Decker while Alan Johnson out-dueled Fuller for fifth under the checkers.

(Dundee, NY) With just three weeks remaining in the regular season at the Outlaw Speedway it is still very unclear as to what driver will be the odds on favorite to win the track titles in each of the seven regular classes of competition.
With the abbreviated 2020 race season which began in early June due to stringent New York State Regulations relevant to public gatherings (which are still in effect) the popular yates County Speedway has been able to weather the storm over the past  eleven race nights in trying to salvage some of the season.
“We have been up against it right from the get-go, stated Outlaw Speedway owner, Tyler Sri in a recent interview.  Because of all the regulations surrounding the Covid 19 Pandemic we were handcuffed for the early part of the season.  We lost multiple high-profile events simply because we could not open at all.  Basically, half of our regular season was lost before Cuomo would allow us to at least open the pit gates.  Since then we have been in survival mode.”
With no fans allowed into the grandstand seating areas at virtually all NYS speed plants, Outlaw Speedway has adhered religiously to the hand that has been dealt them.
“My girlfriend, Jordan Lynch and I have played everything by the book  We have not allowed fans into the grandstands and those that choose to enter the pit area are required to wear face coverings and keep social distancing.  We have plexiglass at our pit concession, have kept a limited menu and our staff is required to wear masks and we have hand sanitizer all over the place.  There are other venues that have tried to do end runs around the states protocol, but in most cases, they have been shut down, lost their liquor licenses or have been threatened with fines.  That has not been the case here.  We have not pushed the envelope.” That according to Boss Man, Tyler Siri.
Having weathered the storm thus far by allowing pit admission plus the addition of audio and visual coverage via DirtTrackDigets.TV the track has been able to keep moving forward the best way possible and with that the show continues to roll along with the end almost in sight.
August 28, 2020 is the tentative scheduled end date for the 2020 season points in all the track’s regular divisions.  With the abbreviated season it certainly has kept the point battles close within all the divisions and with just a few weeks remaining more and more focus is now on the division points.
In the Friendly Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram Modified Division Super Matt Sheppard has ruled the roost thus far.  Even with a pair of DNF finishes due to mechanical issues, the 2017 and 2019 Outlaw Speedway Track Champion has been able to overcome a pair of uncommon poor finishing positions with seven wins which keep him atop the point standings. However, Super Matt need not look very hard over his shoulder as the Brothers Johnson are well within striking distance and with three point races still left on the schedule there is plenty of time for either second place point getter, Dr. Danny Johnson or 2018 Modified Track Champion, AJ Slideways, Alan Johnson to get up on the wheel and take down the potent 9s machine of Sheppard.  Outside of AJ Slideways who owns two feature wins in 2020, The Hurricane, Steve Paine is the only other driver to visit victory lane thus far and currently sits fifth in points as of August 10.  Second generation pilot, Kyle Coffey has been a threat all season having been a picture of consistency and still has a legitimate shot at the title as he is a solid fourth in points. Mathematically drivers like Brady Fultz, Siri, Cartwright Jr and others all still have a shot, however they are now dependent on the top five having problems over the next few weeks.
Same thing holds true in the Stan’s Not Tubes Street Stock Division as like Sheppard in the Modifieds, Glen Whritenour in the Street’s has been able to use the Outlaw Speedway as his personal sand box in 2020.  The 2017/2018 Track Champion in the Division has been literally unstoppable thus far and with just a few weeks remaining looks poised to pick up his third-class title in the last four seasons.  The track Bounty Money that has been put up for anyone that can take down either Super Matt or GW has continued to roll from week to week as the pair have showed dominance in their respective divisions.  Jake Karlnoski, Quinn Sutherland, CJ Guererri, Aksel Jensen and Jered Hill are all in the top six going into the last three point races, but they will need some help if they have any chance of upending the high flying 15 machine of Glen Whritenour.
The Hoosier Tire Crate Sportsman Division has seen only four different drivers work their way into victory lane this season.  2019 Track Champion Will Shields as three wins this season as does Tommy Collins Jr and Zack Sobotka.  Third generation driver, Alex Payne has one win in a division that finds Sobotka currently atop the point standings with Shields, Collins and Payne all within the top five.  Fourth place point getter, Zach George has quietly gone about his business and still is well within striking distance of a track championship.
In the Sunrise Insulation American Racer Crate Sportsman Division, it has been a season of multiple winners.  2018 Track Champion, Chris Fisher has been nothing short of phenomenal all year, knocking down top five feature finishes almost every week.  Sobotka, Shields, Payne and Ajay Potrzebowski have all made trips to victory lane as well as second generation driver, Billy Paine and veteran shoe, Dale Welty.  Fisher currently leads the points, but if he has the least little hiccup the dogs are ready to pounce including 2017 Class Champion, Karl Comfort.  Fisher, Comfort and Potrzebowski all focus their attention on just American Racer Tires, but Sobotka, Shields, Payne and numerous others do double duty each week racing on both American Racer and Hoosier tire brands.  They get plenty of track time each week, but as the weeks are rapidly coming to a conclusion it will be interesting to see if the guys that just focus on one class can prevail over the drivers that may be stretching themselves out. 
Bad Brad Smith has only one feature win thus far in 2020, but he leads the IMCA Modified Point standings with just three weeks to go.  But don’t blink because one time feature winner, Kevin Smith, consistent competitor, Bumps Scutt, 2018 Track Champion and five time 202 feature winner, Rodney Morgan and Old Dick in the Dirt, Rich Karlnoski are all right there and should Bad Brad get into trouble there could be a real shake up at the top.  The car count numbers may not necessarily be the best in recent years, but the competition has been incredible in the Nationally Sanctioned IMCA Modfied Division at Outlaw Speedway.
In the companion IMCA Hobby Stock Class one would think that current high point man, Wayne Ellison was trying to duplicate what Matt Sheppard and Glen Whritenour were trying to accomplish and that is to win every Friday night.   With seven wins to his credit thus far the only other driver to topple the might #18 machine has been the 2017/2018 Hobby Stock Track Champion and three-time feature winner in 2020, Marc Minutolo.  In fact, the only times that Ellison has been toppled by Minutolo has when he has had mechanical problems, his car has been that dominant.  Oddly, enough Bruce Kinner is just a few points behind Ellison as is Jamie Eldredge, Justin Eldredge and Jeremy Trank.  With only three-point races remaining only thirty-eight points separate the top five and its game on down the stretch as its still anybody’s championship.
The Mighty 4 Cylinder Division has been a two-horse race with Bob Doolittle and Jeremy Bunn taking turns visiting victory lane.  Ray Hyer and Scott Lehman Jr. have been the only two others to topple the Doolite/Bunn butt whipping they have put on the rest of the competition.  Jeremy Bunn leads the points by thirty-six over Doolittle with Hyer, Scott Lehman Sr, and son Jr. holding the top five point paying positions.  Even though Bunn is experiencing a career year as is Doolittle, they need be reminded that if they get to wrapped up in each other, Hyer or one of the Lehman’s could snooker the top two in the class.
Last but certainly not the least the Winner’s Circle Deli Youth Bandit Division has run on a weekly basis during the shortened season.  Ethan Decker has been just a picture of consistency in winning most of the events, however, give a call out to the likes of Abbey Decker, Blake Parsons, Jordan Costley and Bradley Morseman who have all seen action in the Bandit Class.  They are currently holding down the top five positions in the points as the season is ending.

Press Releases and Results / DEFENDING GRANDVIEW SPEEDWAY CHAMPIONS, HOWARD AND BRIGHTBILL WIN
« on: August 10, 2020, 09:54:53 AM »
DEFENDING GRANDVIEW SPEEDWAY CHAMPIONS, HOWARD AND BRIGHTBILL, EARN NASCAR ADVANCE AUTO PARTS WEEKLY SERIES WINS ON SATURDAY NIGHT

BECHTELSVILLE, PA. August 9, 2020 . . . Duane Howard, the defending Grandview Speedway NASCAR T.P.Trailers Modified point champion, sidelined early in the Forrest Rogers Memorial race the previous Saturday night with shock problems, was back with a vengeance this time and became the seventh different feature winner this season by taking home the checkered in the 30-lap T.P. Trailers NASCAR Modified Advance Auto Parts feature. It was Howard’s first win of the year at the 1/3-mile oval moving his career win total to 78.

Another defending point champion struggling had been Brad Brightbill. He finally had a change of luck to become the seventh different 25-lap T.P. Truck Equipment NASCAR Sportsman feature winner which was also his first win of the season and 11th career triumph.

Providing the feature winners met the necessary requirements, they 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 Howard and Brightbill. Decker Swinehart earned an extra $100 bonus from the track for being the highest crate engine Sportsman racer to finish.

Polesitter and rookie Darrin Schuler set the pace for seven laps while Mark Kratz, Kenny and Brett Gilmore and Ron Haring Jr. juggled positions behind him. Howard joined the mix with five laps in the books as he advanced from 12th to fifth.

Ron Myers brought out the seventh lap caution when he slowed in the second turn. On the restart Howard, who by this time was running second, put the Norm Hansell owned No. 357 at the head of the pack.

Swapping paint behind him were Doug Manmiller, Craig Von Dohren, Schuler and K. Gilmore which allowed him to open some daylight.

The pack regrouped on the 14th lap when Jared Umbenhauer and Mike Lisowski tangled in the second turn as a result of the cars ahead of them dicing for positions giving no margin to error creating the situation. Despite Manmiller’s attempts to overtake Howard on the restart Howard was still in front.

Mike Gular, on the move from his 21st starting grid after winning the consi and running fifth, brought out the caution. Sparks were coming from his car previously bringing him to a stop in turn two and the yellow to be thrown. As action resumed Howard was off and running with Manmiller, Von Dohren, Briggs Danner and Kevin Hirthler right behind waiting for a Howard false move in hopes of advancement.

Brett Kressley, last week’s feature winner, set up a one lap shoot out when he stopped in the first turn with mechanical problems. Kressley, who went pit side earlier in the event, one of the previous caution periods and rejoined the pack in last, was running a solid fifth when misfortune struck. That didn’t deter Howard as he kept the momentum going and went on to the winner’s circle. Chasing him across the line were Manmiller, Von Dohren, Danner and Ryan Grim. Sixth through tenth were Hirthler, who was the Hard Charger coming from 22nd; K. Gilmore, Umbenhauer, Dillon Steuer, a rookie racer in his first outing; and Justin Grim.

Ray Swinehart, Schuler, Haring Jr. and Eric Biehn won the heats. The consies went to Gular and Hirthler.

Sportsman action saw B.J. Joly finally have a change of luck and show the way for two laps before Brad Arnold spun in the fourth turn for the yellow. Decker Swinehart became the new leader on the restart while Joly, Mike Mammana, Jesse Landis and Brid Brightbill tousled for positions.

By the 11th lap Brightbill advanced to second in pursuit of getting past Swinehart for first.

The red was thrown on the 13th lap after Mark Gaugler rode the second turn wall. When action went green again Brightbill shot past Swinehart on the outside and into the lead.

The battle for second through fifth was now between Swinehart, Mammana, Joly and Jack Butler.

On the 14th lap Mark Kemmerer got into Joly, had him sideways, but Joly somehow saved the car and kept going without an accident, but it cost him several positions as the field went by without incident on their part.

Butler took over second on the 16th lap and set his sights on Brightbill, but his quest ended on the 23rd lap when he pulled into the infield out of competition.

Brightbill never faltered and went on to score the win. Finishing second was Mammana followed by Kemmerer, Swinehart and Brian Hirthler. Rounding out the top ten were Landis, Kyle Smith, Cole Stangle, Joly and Nate Brinker.

Heats were won by Tom Miller, Landis and Nate Mohr. Brinker won the consi.

The 3-lap Diamond Disposal Cash Dash sponsored by Sportsman driver John Mc Govern worth $100 to the winner went to Ryan Beltz. Kemmerer received $75 with Brad Arnold getting $50. Rather than it being heat winners, it was the sixth place finishers competing. Scott Kohler actually finished sixth in the third heat, but opted out which put Kemmerer in the field.

Coming up on Saturday, August 15th, is a tripleheader show featuring the T.P.Trailers NASCAR Modifieds, T.P.Truck Equipment Sportsman and Blast From the Past Vintage racers. Spectator gates open at 5:30 pm.

Tegg & Phelps Take First Checkered Flags Of Season At Land Of Legends
Sprinter Parrow doubles as Guererri, Pangrazio, Burnell close out colossal Canandaigua card

Canandaigua, NY – Aug. 8, 2020 – Tom Skibinski, Land of Legends Raceway PR

Promoter Paul Cole continued to roll the dice and when the clock struck 11 a lucky 7 turned up as just as many features were completed in rapid fashion to close out the latest 'Saturday Spectacular' at Land Of Legends Raceway.

Good fortune also reigned on open-wheel veterans Gil Tegg Jr. and Jimmy Phelps as they survived late race challenges to capture their first Pepsi Big-Block Modified mains of the season while returning wingman Bobby Parrow doubled up with a pair of victories in Mike Emhof Motorsports 305 Sprint Car competition.

DIRTcar Sportsman standout Matt Guererri posted a track-best fifth triumph while full-fender phenoms Josh Pangrazio (Street Stock) and Tyler Burnell (Hobby Stock) returned to the winner's circle on Lee Depew & Son Trucking Night to extend their respective division point leads.

“Every squirrel finds a big nut once in a while,” remarked Tegg, 49, after the popular Rochester pilot pulled away from all-time Canandaigua winner Alan Johnson to log his first win since May of 2016 using the same chassis. “Up until tonight we've had terrible luck, but the changes we made were perfect and things finally went our way.”

Tegg filed in third on the 26-car starting grid to begin the 35-lap Big-Block finale and watched as front row partners Derrick Podsiadlo and Eldon Payne Jr. swapped the lead early. He grabbed second from Podsiadlo on lap eight then crossed the stripe ahead of Payne two laps later.

Starting ninth and weaving his way under and around the frontrunners just as fast, Johnson cracked the top-5 on lap 11 then disposed of Matt Farnham on a lap 14 restart and runner-up Payne with 20 laps still to go. At the halfway point track regulars and tour stars Billy Dunn and Erick Rudolph had also charged into the front-five while points leader Larry Wight stormed from 10th to sixth on a lap 17 restart.

“Everytime we had a caution I said 'Oh man' and looked up on the (score) board to see who was there,” noted Tegg, following his fourth career Big-Block win at LOLR. “I knew Alan was second and felt there's no way I'm starting on the top with him, so we hung low and held on.”

Last week's winner Dave Marcuccilli slowed in turn four to incur the third and final yellow flag with 10 laps to go yet on this night the red and white Finger Lakes-powered #22G A&G Food Service-Mike Yare Photo-All Star Pizza/Bicknell entry would not be denied.

Tegg easily pulled away on every restart and cruised on to a convincing 10 car-length victory over 'A.J. Slideways' with Wight rallying to cop third-place ahead of Rudolph and Dunn. Making a rare appearance this season, multi-time LOLR points champion Matt Sheppard settled for eighth after pitting to change a left rear shock and spring under caution with 13 laps complete.

“The car came right to us and the track was actually awesome,” added Tegg in victory lane. “Hats off to the (grounds) crew here, it was smooth and it was racy. Man, thank God, we've been struggling all year. Did a couple things, changed a couple things on the car, and I was crossing my fingers. It just worked out really good and we definitely learned something tonight. Have to thank A&G, All Star and Mike Yare and the guys over at Leland Powder Coating, without everybody's help we wouldn't be here.”

In the lead-off 35-lapper delayed by rain the previous weekend, Phelps held off Sheppard to nab the narrow victory under sunny skies over the vacant Ontario County Fairgrounds grandstands. The Baldwinsville driver needed only five laps to overtake pole-sitter Podsiadlo for the lead but the entire distance to secure his seventh checkered flag in wine country.

“We were fortunate the caution came out, Matt definitely had a run on me,” stated Phelps, 45, who could advance no higher than 11th in the nightcap. “Honestly, I got a little lazy there, got trying to protect the bottom. Had been on the top out of (turn) two the whole race so I didn't know where to go down there. My right rear (tire) was finally giving up on me so I moved down and he got on the outside of me. Fortunately, the yellow came out and we were able to move around a bit and carry more speed.”

A handful of caution periods kept the field tight most of the race with Sheppard needing only seven laps to move from his 19th starting position into the Top-10. He knocked off his nearest foes one by one, getting by Tegg for fifth on lap 13, moving past Johnson on lap 14, then James Sweeting for third at the halfway mark.

Phelps reached heavy traffic with 10 to go and when Wight suffered a flat tire on lap 27, 'Super Matt' stole second from Farnham on the ensuing restart. Sheppard closed in to shadow the #98H J&B Installations-Mohawk Northeast-HBR/Bicknell mount and just as he pulled alongside Phelps the fifth and final yellow flag flew on lap 33 as Jimmy Maier's Troyer machine coasted to a stop high in turn three.

Back under green Phelps opened up a comfortable eight-car advantage over Sheppard, with fast closing Tim Fuller, Farnham and Dillon Groover tallying top-5 finishes at the stripe.

“The first yellow was a little bit of a blessing as we were able to clear some of the traffic,” added Phelps, now with two top-five finishes in seven starts. Didn't want to see that #9 pop up on the board there in the top-3, that was a little disheartening, but we were able to hold him off as we had good track position.”

Once out front, cautions were never an issue for Guererri nor was track position a given as the Waterloo wheelman was on the gas pedal from the drop of the green in the fast-paced 25-lap Sportsman feature. He started deep in 20th and motored into the Top-10 by lap 10, then needed eight more times around to pass A.J. Lloyd for the top spot en route to the decisive half-straightaway victory.

“It was just a matter of getting in some clean air to see where your car works best,” described Guererri, 30, who went winless last season aboard the potent #12G Tradition Automotive Group-Product 9-Mohawk Northeast/Bicknell ride. His 11th career triumph vaults him past two-time winner Zach Sobotka (finished 7th) in the point standings by a count of 303-299 through 10 starts. “I passed a bunch of cars on the top so I didn't know if the bottom was any better. Then I got down there on the restart and it was really good so it all worked out.”

Dalton Martin nosed ahead of Nate Peckham to pace the hungry 26-car Sportsman field yet contact on the frontstretch and a reported flat tire as a result ended Peckham's race with four laps scored. Lloyd bolted past Martin on a lap five restart and built up a commanding lead before C.J. Castelletti looped exiting turn one to force out the third and final caution with 10 to go.

The lap 15 restart proved pivotal for Guererri as he navigated the low lane to perfection, improving from seventh to third, then switching to the high side to pass brother Nick Guererri for second after one more time around. He needed just two additional laps to hunt down Lloyd and speed on by for his first win of the month.

Lloyd, Nick Guererri, Ricky Newton and Brian Ridley rounded out the front-five finishers ahead of last Saturday's winner Kevin Ridley.

“I saw Nick was second on that restart and said 'hope he gets that lead,' he's had so much tough luck out here,” said Matt, who joined Nick, Paul and Frank Jr. as the Guererri family members claimed all four qualifying heats in Saturday preliminaries. “I had a great restart. A couple of the guys (ahead of me) slid up off the bottom and I was able to capitalize. The car was good no matter where I went with it. Its unbelievable, I can drive anywhere on the track and it works for me.”

Young Payton Talbot from Gilbertsville made the three-hour haul to Canandaigua pay dividends as he put his no. 14 J.C. Landscaping-Northeast Forestry & Tomber Harvest/HigFab entry in victory lane after the 12-lap Sportsman B-Main.

Matching Tegg as he garnered a heat race victory and mirroring Guererri as he emerged as the new division points leader, Parrow made a clean sweep of the MEM 305 doubleheader for car owner Tom Fletcher who missed out on the memorable wins as he spent the weekend camping in the Adirondacks.

“Feels good but what's really sad is that Tom couldn't be here tonight,” lamented Parrow, 52, a Class of 2017 Empire Super Sprint Hall of Fame inductee whose only other win at LOLR came for ESS in August of 1992 steering the more familiar #80 winged machine. “Wish he was because it would've been his first win but I appreciate him giving me the chance to wheel this car. Been a long time since I drove.”

Fifth-starting Parrow needed just three tours of the half-mile clay oval to duck under pole-sitter Jerry Sehn Jr. in the initial 20-lap A-Main rain-delayed from Aug. 1. A handful of slowdowns for minor spins were all that could hold back the Waterloo warrior as he built up an insurmountable half-straightaway margin at the wire. Trevor Years posted a season-best second-place followed by rehabbing Darryl Ruggles, Sehn and Dan Craun.

“We're doing it all for fun and I have a guy that's been with me since I was 12 years old working on go-carts … and he's still here,” Parrow said. “We're doing this for Cystic Fibrosis, DC Rauscher and Tommy, he owns the whole deal.”

Handicapped to begin seventh in the 20-lap curtain-closer, the #53 D.C. Rauscher-Wings For Cystic Fibrosis/Eagle entry boasting a Ray Preston-prepared powerplant almost failed to run a single lap as Parrow looped in turn one on the opening circuit. But despite running just a dozen events in the past 20 seasons, he showed little rust as he performed a perfect 360-degree spin and kept going without any contact in the 14-car field.

After running as high as second in the first race before motor issues sidelined for the night her own pink #48A sprinter, Alysha Bay buckled into her father Darryl Ruggles' neon yellow no. 48jr. back-up car in time to take the early lead in round two. Rookie Ethan Gray swept around her in turn four to gain his first lead on lap seven before Ruggles out-dragged him for the top spot on lap 12.

With defending points champ Ruggles eyeing his second trophy of the season, Parrow instead took control on lap 17 for his second victory of the night, completing a gallant run to the front by nearly a straightaway at the stripe. Gray, Sehn and Years filled out the front-five on the final scoresheet.

“We're getting better and better, Mike and Charlie keep working with the set-ups every week and tonight we had to do some other changes,” added Parrow, who vaulted from fourth to first on the points chart, now with six top-five finishes in seven events to lead Bay (322-308) heading down the stretch. “The longer we go the better we get. We got a little tire rub down in turn one and it wasn't by myself this week. It was a great night and we're having fun getting the car to work a little better every time out.”

Press Releases and Results / SHEPPARD AND WHRITENOUR BOTH WIN AGAIN AT OUTLAW SPEEDWAY
« on: August 10, 2020, 09:48:41 AM »
SHEPPARD AND WHRITENOUR BOTH WIN AGAIN AT OUTLAW SPEEDWAY.  BOUNTY MONEY ROLLS ON!
Sperring gets first ever in American Racer Sportsman, Collins Jr., Morgan, Ellison, Doolittle and Decker continue to rack up feature victories.
Story by Kenny Shupp Jr.
(Dundee, NY) As they have on numerous occasions thus far in 2020, Super Matt Sheppard in the Friendly Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Modified Division along with Glen Whritenour in the Stan’s No Tubes Street Stocks continue to dominate their respective classes.  Several weeks ago, track owner, Tyler Siri placed Bounty Money on both competitors for any regular or invader that can upend either racer in their feature events while both are still running at the completion.  Again, on Friday, August 7 both men completely dominated their events thus the cash will roll over to the following race night. 
Boss Man, Tyler Siri along with Eldon Payne brought the twenty-two car Modified field to the opening green flag as Siri would lead the first seven laps and looked poised to win and collect the added $1,500 for taking down Super Matt.  However, Sheppard had other ideas and soared into the top spot on lap eight and from there opened up a as much as an eight second lead and had lapped cars up to the seventh position before the one and only caution flag of the  race waved with just a pair of laps remaining.  From there all Super Matt had to do was keep Erick Rudolph at bay for the remaining two laps and visit victory lane for the seventh time in 2020.  With another easy win for Sheppard, the action behind the high flying 9s machine was at a fever pitch as numerous drivers were working thru traffic in an attempt to make it to a top finishing spot.  Second place finisher, Rudolph led the charge having started just one spot behind Sheppard on the opening green flag. Fourth place finisher, AJ Slideways, Alan Johnson began the thirty-lap grind right behind both Sheppard and Rudolph.  Like Siri, who finished third the fifth-place machine of Eldon Payne started on the front row, ran with the lead pack all race long and came home with a solid top five finish.  With Matt Sheppard’s win the $1,500 Bounty now will go onto the August 15 event and with the regular season rapidly concluding the big question is can anyone dethrone Super Matt before the last point event on August 29, 2020. 
In the Stan’s No Tubes Street Stocks feature event, Glen Whritenour continues to use the Outlaw Speedway as his personal play pen as he lined up eleventh on the starting grid, moved to third by lap three, chased then leader CJ Guererri until he ran into problems on lap eight.  Once in front GW opened up what appeared to be an insurmountable advantage over a group of very good drivers and equipment including the likes of Jake Karlnoski who wound up second at the finish, John Carpenter who was third, Quinn Sutherland who wound up fourth along with Shawn Boyton who completed the top five.  Even a late race caution on lap sixteen which would bunch the field back up could not slow down the fast 15 machine as Whritenour cruised to his sixth feature win of 2020 which includes the last five in a row and with that the $250 Bounty will go on one more week. 
In the Sunrise Insulation American Racer Tire Sportsman Division another solid field of some seventeen cars took to the speedway for their twenty-five-lap feature event.  Troy Sperring has been a consistent runner week in and week out at the Outlaw Speedway during the 2020 season and he took full advantage of his pole position starting spot to lead throughout the event and come home with his first ever trip to victory lane at the Yates County Speed Plant.  Sperring can now add his name to a who’s who list of drivers that have picked up feature event wins at Outlaw thus far.  In a magnificent display of driving Sperring was able to hold off second place finisher and one-time feature winner, Billy Paine.  2018 class Track Champion, Chris Fisher once again produced a solid effort in coming home third at the finish as he was chased across the line by 2020 feature winner, Alex Payne. Travis Grover continues to impress by rounding the top five finishers.  The entire top five finishing group all started the feature event within the top seven positions and with equality among the competition, passing is at a premium and it will come as no surprise if the list of new feature winners grows prior to seasons end.  Thus far in the nine Sunrise Insulation American Racer Tire Crate Sportsman feature events that have been run this season, seven different faces have visited victory lane with Ajay Potrzebowski the only repeat winner. 
In the companion Hoosier Tire Crate Sportsman Division, Tommy Collins Jr. was to tough to handle on this night at he lined up ninth on the start, got to the point by lap nine and cruised to his third win in 2020.  Tim Guild and Travis Grover brought the sixteen car field to the opening green flag for the twenty-five lap affair as Guild along with his team mate, Stacy Jackson who started in the second row would control the top two positions thru lap four when Tommy Paine would take over the lead.  Paine, in his rookie season continues to impress as he would hold court at the top of the heap thru lap eight when Collins would assume the lead and go on from there.  Only a couple caution flags would slow the pace as Collins was able to once again display his mastery on the Hoosier tire brand and at the double checkered flags had a full second and a half lead over the second place machine of Zach Sobotka.  Grover would run with the lead pack all race long in holding down the third spot at the end as Tommy Paine held off three-time 2020 class feature winner and the defending Track Champion, Will Shields as they would finish fourth and fifth.   
The Hobby Stock Division continues to grow in numbers, but it is still the Wayne Ellison show as he was able to win both the make-up feature from July 10 in convincing style, and after a post-race disqualification by apparent regular night feature winner, Nick Stark, Ellison was declared the winner in that event as well bringing his 2020 win total to seven with many asking the question, “Will a Bounty on Wayne Ellison be coming next”?  In the make-up Ellison was clearly the class of the field as his immaculate looking 18 machine runs as good as it looks as he held off the only driver to beat him this year in the two time and defending Track Champion, Marc Minutolo.  Jeremy Trank continues his impressive year by finishing third in the make-up as he was chased across the line by Bruce Kinner and Justin Eldredge who completed the top five finishers.
In the nightcap, it did not come nearly as easy for Ellison as he lined up in his customary mid pack starting position and with a pair of good runners in Frank Bubba Burnell and Nick Stark starting on the front row both Minutolo and Ellison who began the twenty lap event in row six had their work cut out for them.  With Minutolo having problems early that left Wayne Ellison still having to negotiate thru a top notch running group of drivers and machinery and as the double checkered flags waved it appeared as though the Wayne Ellison dominance in the division had finally had come to an end at the hands of Nick Stark.  However, in a post-race inspection, Stark was found with an infraction and was relegated to last and with that handed the win to Ellison.  With everyone moving up at position Justin Eldredge claimed the runner-up spot followed by the third-place machine of Jack Ayers who had his best finish since a bone jarring, multiple side over side front straight a way flip several weeks ago.  Fourth place went to Jeremy Trank who capped off a great night while Casey Wagner rounded out the top five.
In IMCA Modified feature action, 2018 Track Champion, Rodney Morgan finally got back on track after being shut out of victory lane since June 26 as he cruised to the win.  Morgan, who completely dominated the class by winning the first four events to open the 2020 campaign was in a class all by himself as he went on to win number five holding off track regular and one time feature winner, Shawn Bruce who was second.  Bumps Scutt continues his consistent 2020 season as he was third at the finish followed across the line by Jeff Austin and Bad Brad Smith who completed the top five finishers. 
In the youth Winner’s Circle Deli Bandit Division Ethan Decker was once again victorious and with his victory extends his point lead in the class.
Last but certainly not least the Mighty 4 Cylinders have been basically dominated by a pair of competitors in Bob Doolittle and Jeremy Bunn.  Only Scott Lehman Jr. and Ray Hyer have upended the Doolittle/Bunn onslaught in the class and unfortunately for the rest of the field this night would be no different as the top two in the class were once again chasing each other to the feature win.  At the completion of the twenty-lap affair it was Bob Doolittle claiming his fourth win of 2020 as he was able to hold off four-time feature winner and current high point man, Jeremy Bunn who had to settle for second place.  Chasing the lead duo across the line was Scott Lehman, Ray Hyer and Jason Smart. 
Congratulations to all competitors!
Coming up next week at Outlaw Speedway the trend will continue with another Super 7 Show featuring all the tracks regular adult classes plus the youth Bandit Division.
With the facility still at the mercy of NYS Governor and NYS Health Department protocol calling for no spectators in the grandstand seating area it will be pit admission only.  For those that can not attend, online viewing is available by going to www.dirttrackdigest.tv. 
Pit Gates for the August 14 show open at 5:30 pm with hot laps at 6:30. The first green flag of the night is scheduled to wave at 7:30. 
With the weeks winding down in the regular season schedule the point battles in all classes now start to become much more visible and even though several drivers in most classes have racked up multiple feature wins there are still no run away point leaders.

Press Releases and Results / 56TH HEATH MEMORIAL FOR MODIFIEDS THIS MONDAY, AUGUST 10TH
« on: August 07, 2020, 01:09:02 PM »
56TH HEATH MEMORIAL FOR MODIFIEDS THIS MONDAY, AUGUST 10TH.  WATCH IT LIVE AT WWW.DIRTTRACKDIGEST.TV. FIVE DRIVERS WILL BE INTRODUCED AND ADDED TO ALL-TIME GREATEST DRIVER LIST.
 
KIRKWOOD, NY…The 70th consecutive year of racing at Five Mile Point Speedway has certainly been one of a kind.  The speedway has been forced to keep the spectator grandstand closed throughout the season due to NYS Covid-19 guidelines.  This has not slowed any of the enthusiasm of the 70th Anniversary Season as racing has continued on Saturday nights.
 
Fans have a unique opportunity this Monday evening to see the 56th running of the Heath Memorial for Modifieds live through a multi-camera pay per view broadcast.  The broadcast is only $19.99 and includes all of the racing on Monday evening.  The live broadcast can be seen at www.dirttrackdigest.tv. Racing begins at 7 p.m.  Pit gates open at 4:30 p.m. with practice set for 6:15 p.m. The racing program will include the Insinger Performance Crate Sportsman, Factory Stocks, 600 Modifieds, FWD Four Cylinders and Juniors.
 
This Monday the speedway will host the re-scheduled 56th Heath Memorial.  The race was postponed to August with the original hope that the spectator grandstand could be open at this point.  That is still not the case.  Despite this, teams are ready to do battle for the 30 lap $2,000 to win Modified headliner.  Travis Smith is the defending race winner.
 
The Heath Memorial honors Irving and Anna Heath who founded the speedway in 1951.  Mr. Heath passed away in 1965 and Anna kept the speedway alive owning until her passing in 2004.  Her grandson Andrew Harpell purchased the speedway prior to her passing and owns to this day.
 
This Monday five championship drivers will be added to the 65 All-Time Greatest Drivers list bringing the total to 70.  All five drivers are past Modified Track Champions and includes Kevin Bates, Don Hart Jr., Justin Holland, Brian Malcolm and Shaun Walker. 
 
The original 50 All-Time Greatest Drivers list was announced during the 2000 50th Anniversary Season at Five Mile Point Speedway.  Since that time, 15 additional Five Mile Point Speedway greats were added to the list.  This season will mark the 70th Anniversary Season with five more all-time greats being honored and added to the list.  The list has always included former Modified Track Champions at the speedway.  The criteria have been based on the division being the headline act since the opening of the speedway in 1951.  All five of this year’s inductees are former Modified Track Champions.  The all-time list is also comprised of former Street Stock, Mini Stock and Figure 8 racing greats.
 
This year’s inductees include Kevin Bates from Lake Ariel, PA.  Bates, was the Modified Track Champion in 2017.  Bates leads this year’s inductees with fourteen career feature wins at Five Mile Point Speedway.  Bates ranks twenty-third on the all-time Modified wins list.
 
Don Hart, Jr. earned his Modified Track Championship back in the 2004 racing season.  He has eight career wins along with his championship title.  His victories came over a fairly short span of racing events making his winning percentage quite high out of those race starts.
 
Justin Holland, a graduate of the Sportsman ranks moved his way in to the Modified division and captured a Modified Track Championship title at the speedway in 2012.  Holland has six career feature wins in the Modified division at the speedway to date.  He will be returning to the weekly ranks in 2020 hoping to add to his win total.
 
Brian Malcolm is a back to back and defending Modified Track Champion at the speedway.  Malcolm won the titles in 2018 and 2019 at Five Mile Point Speedway.  Malcolm, also from Lake Ariel, PA has eight feature wins to his credit at the speedway.  Malcolm is taking on the ambitious challenge to try and become a three-peat Modified Track Champion this season at the speedway.  If he could win the 2020 title he would be the first since Chuck Akulis who pulled it off in 1994, ’95 and ’96.
 
Only Larry Catlin and Chuck Akulis ever pulled off the remarkable feat of winning three Modified Track Championships in a row. Catlin won his Track Championships in 1969, ’70 and ’71.  Akulis set the bar with nine consecutive Modified Track Championships between 1977 and 1985.  He then backed that up with the last three-peat Modified Championship in 1994, ’95 and ’96.
 
Shaun Walker completes the 2020 inductee class this season.  Walker, a Sportsman Track Champion in 2008 made his way into the Modified ranks with great success. Walker captured back to back Modified Track Championships in 2015 and 2016.  He has captured six Modified feature wins at Five Mile Point Speedway during his career.
 
The 70th Anniversary “All-Time Greatest” Drivers will be honored at the 56th running of the Heath Memorial this Monday at Five Mile Point Speedway.  Irving and Anna Heath founded and built the speedway in 1951.  That event honors them each season at the speedway.

CRSA Sprints Lose 2 August Shows, Turn Attention Back To Penn Can August 21


Press Release by: Steven Ovens – August 5th, 2020 – AJ Yabroudy photo –

 

(SODUS, NY) – The response to COVID-19 has been a tricky and delicate one as racers, tracks and traveling series have had to make tough choices to keep the gates open and cars on track. This week, CRSA officials learned that upcoming dates at Fonda Speedway 8/14 and Thunder Mountain Speedway 8/15 have been removed from the schedule and will not be made up. These cancellations due to New York State Executive Orders that were extended to not allow fans at these facilities.

 

“Our track partners on tour this year have been hit hard and impacted at unfortunate levels for their businesses,” said CRSA Sprints series director Peter Meskill.

 

“We look forward to getting back to Fonda and Thunder Mountain in the future when the threat of COVID and restrictive orders from the Governor aren’t impacting our partners like they have in 2020.”

 

CRSA Sprints and Patriot Sprint Tour owner and promoter Mike Emhof echoed those thoughts.

 

“What we have seen this season has been unprecedented. We will continue to work alongside the tracks that have been impacted as well as our teams to come back strong to support these venues in 2021.

 

That leaves the next event date for the 305 Sprint Cars of the CRSA Tour to be held on Friday August 21 at Gary Folk’s Penn Can Speedway in Susquehanna, PA. The last CRSA event was held at Penn Can and did not leave the nearly sold out crowd disappointed with Darryl Ruggles overcoming a cast on his hand to win his first tour victory at Penn Can over Thomas Radivoy.

 

Radivoy and Kyle Pierce will bring back their own knowledge and experience to “The Can” as both have many laps around the facility in wingless sprint action. Then add in 2020 Series winners Cory Sparks and Ruggles, defending series champion Jeff Trombley, the Land of Legends 305 contingent and you have the makings of a big night of excitement on Penn Can’s three-eighths mile clay surface.

 

The CRSA 305 Sprint Tour is powered by Super Gen Products with their Champion Power Equipment located in Newark, NY. Associate sponsors for the 2020 CRSA 305 Sprint Tour include Midstate Basement Authorities, CNY Farm Supply, the Maguire Family of Dealerships, Eagle Enterprises, LLC, Hoosier Racing Tires and is owned and operated by Mike Emhof Motorsports.

 1st Annual SOCK OUT CANCER® Parade Sets New Record

Records are made to be broken, and the 1st Annual Sock Out Cancer® parade set goals for future events to aim for.

“I am pleased to announce that the Sock Out Cancer Parade raised $4,000, which will be distributed equally to the Foundations of Lourdes Hospital and UHS for assisting their cancer patients who need help paying for non-medical needs such as food, housing and transportation,” said Security Mutual Life Chairman and CEO Bruce W. Boyea. “I had a wonderful time, and I am honored to have been the Grand Marshal of the event.” Each participant entering the parade received a pair of brightly colored Sock Out Cancer socks, symbolizing the fight against cancer in all its forms and helping raise public awareness of the financial challenges facing families fighting cancer. 234 vehicles participated in the parade, 10 of which were motorcycles.

“The Sock Out Cancer parade exceeded all expectations,” said CHOW Director Les Aylesworth, “and the non-perishable food donations from participants and spectators will provide around 900 meals for those in need in our community.” CHOW provides thousands of meals each year, and their resources have been strained to the limit as a result of the current COVID-19 pandemic.

Those who wish to help these worthy organizations can do so by contacting Sock Out Cancer at sockoutcancer.org, and CHOW at broomecouncil.net. CHOW is operated by the Broome County Council of Churches.

At 9.4 miles long, the 1st annual Sock Out Cancer parade became the longest parade on record in Broome County, eclipsing the 3-mile-long Ringling Brothers Barnum and Bailey Circus parade held in 1920.

Two months ago the Sock Out Cancer parade was just an idea in the mind of event organizer Bob Connelly as a way for the hundreds of area car lovers to safely get out while benefiting the community. “With so many car shows cancelled,” said Connelly, “this was the best way I could think of to get rid of our cabin fever while still maintaining safe social distancing.” All participants wore masks when required and complied with local and state regulations.

“I believe that this should become an annual event here in Binghamton,” said Bruce W. Boyea, “and I believe that Sock Out Cancer parades can benefit communities across our country.” Discussions are underway to map the future of these ideas.

“I was honored that Bob Connelly invited me to help get the word out to the media and car enthusiasts through the area,” said Ron Hills, host and producer of The Race Report television program on WICZ-TV. “I can’t begin to thank everyone who lent their support to this event, but I need to give special recognition to Bobby Likis, host of the award-winning national radio show Bobby Likis Car Clinic, heard every Saturday morning on WNBF AM 1290. I would also like to thank WNBF radio’s Doug Mosher, subbing for the vacationing Bob Joseph on WNBF’s Binghamton Now. Doug had either Bob Connelly or me on Binghamton Now every day leading up to the parade. And my thanks to Gary’s U-Pull-It for providing two rollbacks which served as elevated platforms for the television crews.  A special thanks also to; WBNG-TV; Rosanne Sall Advertising, Inc.; and the many volunteers who made this event possible.

Photographs and video of the 1st annual Sock Out Cancer parade are available at https://www.facebook.com/TheRaceReportTV/videos/1547981432075132/

Weedsport Cancels ESS Legends Reunion Amid COVID-19 Restriction Extensions

WEEDSPORT, NY (August 3, 2020) – COVID-19 travel restrictions as well as the extension of New York State Executive Orders disallowing spectators at racing facilities, has forced Weedsport Speedway to cancel the ESS Legends Reunion, which was scheduled for Sunday, August 9.

The Empire Super Sprints Hall of Fame induction associated with the event will be postponed until 2021.

"The ESS Legends Reunion has been a staple for several seasons now, and it is unfortunate we will have to wait until 2021 to see the next edition,” said Weedsport Speedway promoter, Jimmy Phelps.  “With the extension of New York State’s Executive Orders, this is our only option."

Ticket and camping refunds will be issued for the ESS Legends Reunion.

Refunds will be automatically issued to the original form of payment for those who purchased within 90 days of the event.  Tickets or camping purchased more than 90 days prior to the event will be issued and mailed a refund check.

With this latest cancelation, Weedsport Speedway’s next scheduled event will be Cavalcade Cup Weekend on September 11-12, featuring two days of Modified action, including the Super DIRTcar Series Big Block Modifieds on September 12.  The ESS Sprint Cars, CNY Mod Lites, DIRTcar Pro Stocks and RUSH Late Models are also scheduled during this blockbuster weekend.

Weedsport Kartway will return to racing on Sunday, August 30 with the second annual Kart Cup.  For more information visit www.weedsportspeedway.com/kartway.
