Hodnett Dominates For Port Royal Win

By Brad Vores  April 4, 2010 

It was total domination for Greg Hodnett Saturday night at Port Royal Speedway.

 Fresh off a 19th to second place effort on Friday at Williams Grove, Hodnett came back strong Saturday night taking control of the 25-lap 410 Sprint main on lap two and never looking back.

 Hodnett’s 17th career win at the track came aboard the Jim and Sandy Kline owned, J & S Fabrication, Macri Concrete, Eastern Air Balance, Rock-It Pizza No. 22 Maxim.

 Despite numerous cautions, Hodnett was the class of the field but was glad the race didn’t go another lap as his sprinter ran out of fuel as he was reporting to post race weigh-in.

 Defending track champion Todd Shaffer was second over Dave Ely, Justin Henderson and Bobby Breen.

 Danville’s Jeff Rine scored his second straight win in the 20-lap late model feature as he led all the way in his victory over Matt Parks, Tim Wilson, Waylon Wagner and Scott Lebarron.

 Gregg Foster took the lead from Mike Enders on lap 16 of the 20-lap Super Sportsman feature and drove to the win over Enders, Bobby Hockenberry, Frankie Herr and Chad Criswell. 


HEIMBACH TAKES LAST LAP WIN
 It was quite a finish in Saturday night’s 30-lap rescheduled 2009 National Open for 358 Sprint cars at Selinsgrove Speedway.

 Selinsgrove’s own Blane Heimbach took the lead on lap four and then went wheel to wheel with Pat Cannon over the final four laps with Heimbach racing on the top and Cannon running the low side of the speedway.

 Cannon was scored the leader on lap 29 but it was Heimbach to gained control in turn two on the final circuit and then on to defeat Cannon by a mere .27 of a second at the checkered flag.

 The race was rained out last September and track officials decided to reschedule for this season.

 Heimbach’s win was the 30th of his career and was worth $3,000 to the Creasy/Goff Motorsports team.

 Last week’s winner TJ Stutts finished third over Jason Shultz and early race leader Josh Beard.

 Brad Mitch won the roadrunner feature over Cory Long, Kyle Miller, Scott Dunham, Jr. and Erik Pinkerton.


KID ROCKETS OPENS WITH A WIN
 Defending World of Outlaws late model champion Josh Richards opened the 2010 Hagerstown Speedway season with a feature win Saturday night.

 Aboard the Ernie Davis owned machine, “Kid Rocket” won last year’s season opener as well.

 He took the lead on lap 16 and drove to the win over Frankie Plessinger, Jamie Lathroum, Tyler Hershey and Mike Lupfer, who started 14th.

 Shippensburg’s Ashley Barrett started the late model sportsman season on a good note as he picked up the 20 lap feature win.

 Despite hitting the wall on the final lap, Barrett came out on top of the thrilling event over Glenn Elliott, Michael Collins, Ryan Walls and Wayne Walls, Jr.

 Mike Warrenfeltz won the pure stock feature over Wayne Hawbaker, Dave Stouffer, Steve Lowery and Darrin Younker.

 
MCCLELLAND TOPS TRAILWAY OPENER
    Brad McClelland moved into a tie with Jeff Rohrbaugh for the all-time leading sprint car winner at Trail-Way Speedway after his opening night win Friday night.
    McClelland took advantage of Rohrbaugh's late race flip to score the win, his 21st career track win. Billy Dietrich was second over Troy Becker, Tim Wagaman and Keith Prutzman.
    Kyle Martin won the thundercar feature over Sam Gallagher, Brad Shank, Justin Bittle and Brian Walls.
