By Brad Vores  June 14, 2009 

For the second time in three weeks, Pat Cannon rolled to victory at Selinsgrove Speedway.

 Cannon, of Etters piloted the Highlands Tire and Service No. 3 Maxim to victory Saturday night at Selinsgrove in the 25-lap 358 Sprint car feature.

 The win marked the 12th career win for Cannon at the Snyder county track and his second since rejoining the team a few weeks ago. He had a runner-up finish last week at the track.

 Starting 12th, Cannon blasted his way to the front early, moving into the top five by lap four.

 He then caught race leader Matt Horst on lap 16 to make the race winning pass and checked out from the field for the win.

 Blane Heimbach was second ahead of Horst, Matt Heimbach and Phil Walter.

 Track points leader Nate Snyder had his great run of top 10 finishes end with a flip on the first lap.

 Brett Schadel notched his second career win in the 25-lap late model feature over Tony Adams, points leader Jeff Rine, Steve Campbell and Eric Hons.

 Jason Smith won the pro stock feature over AJ Hoffman and Chad Davis while Ricky Bender took both roadrunner wins. He won the regular event as well as a makeup from June 6th.


SMITH FINALLY WINS
 Selinsgrove’s Mark Smith finally ended a winless streak Saturday night at Port Royal Speedway.

 Aboard the Brian Scandle owned, Brickers French Fries machine, Smith took the lead from Daryl Stimeling on lap 16 of the 25-lap 410 Sprint car feature and held on for his first win of the year. The win was the 30th of his Port Royal career.

 Stimeling finished second in the non stop event over Greg Hodnett, Chad Layton and Mike Wagner.

 After a dismal performance during Late Model Speedweek, Scott Haus was back at home with another late model win at the Port.

 Haus took the lead with two laps to go and scored his fifth track win over Chris Casner, Bryan Sipe, Scott Flickinger and Jason Miller.

 Enola’s Jason Fry won his first Super Sportsman Tour feature of the season and first for car owner Mike Callahan.

 Fry took the lead on lap eight and never looked back in the win over Eric Eckert, Mike Enders, David Socks and Jay Fannasy.


YODER NABS HAGERSTOWN
 Selinsgrove’s Jim Yoder captured his second career late model feature win Saturday at Hagerstown Speedway.

 After winning for the first ever time at the track last March, Yoder went winless until Saturday night when he turned in an impressive effort for a near two-second margin of victory.

 Frankie Plessinger tried to win the race for his father Frank-who suffered a heart attack while working at the track Saturday. Plessinger, who owns the track is in a Baltimore area hospital. His son finished second in the event over Roy Deese, Jr., Andy Anderson and Mike Lupfer.

 Wayne Walls, Jr. topped late model sportsman action with his first win of the season over Ashley Barrett, Andy Fries, Bruce Kane and Kyle Lear.

 Kenny Dillon was the pure stock winner and Krazy Kenny Thomas won the Enduro.


RICHARDS WINS SPEEDWEEK
 Despite missing  the opening night race of the first annual Appalachian Mountain Late Model Speedweek, World of outlaws regular Josh Richards captured the crown for the series with a win Friday night at Bedford Speedway.

 Richards used  a final lap pass for the win at Bedford, which also was good enough to secure the points title by one point over Jeremy Miller for the week long series.

 Richards defeated Rick Eckert, Jason Covert, DJ Myers and Austin Hubbard on the track while the final points were Richard (637), Miller(636), Hubbard (609), Covert (586) and Myers (550).

 Tim Smith, Jr. won the 358 late model main at Bedford over Derek Byler, Daniel Cornman, Mike Duck and Travis Stickley.

 Newville’s Timmie Barrick raced to the 600 Micro sprint car win Friday at Path Valley Speedway Park.

 Barrick took the top spot on a restart when Jimmy Brookens’ car did not come up to speed and drove off for his first win of  the year over Kevin Steele, Rodney Glass, Travis Saner and Jesse Fitz.

 Jason Houtz was the 270 Micro winner at Path Valley over Ryan McAndrew, Levi Peck, Sean McAndrew and Colby Dice.
