With a change in format to Friday night’s 410 Sprint car program
at Williams Grove Speedway, Danny Dietrich made the most of a
front row starting spot and turned it into his second 25-lap
feature win of the season.
With a shortage of 100 compound Goodyear Tires, Williams Grove
management decided to run one lap time trials and a non point
race for the sprint cars and it was Dietrich who started on the
front row and dominated the feature event for his third overall
win of the season in the Gary Kauffman Racing owned sprinter.
Dietrich was followed by Brent Marks, Brian Leppo, Tyler Walker
and Justin Henderson.
Carlisle’s Jason Shultz led all 20 laps to win the 358 Sprint
car feature event.
Shultz, aboard a Mach 1 house car, defeated Ted Thomas, Cory
Haas, points leader Pat Cannon and Chad Criswell.
PERIGO GOES WINGLESS
Super Sportsman points leader Carmen Perigo, Jr. took the lead
on lap one of Saturday’s Wingless Super Sportsman feature at
Williams Grove Speedway and never looked back.
Perigo, of Stoystown was able to drive away from the field for
his second overall win of the year aboard the Walt Bigler owned
machine.
Rick Barr, David Socks, Joey Biasi and Ryan Rupp completed the
top five as only 15 cars competed in the non-points event.
After two straight runner-up finishes, Newville’s Wes Alleman
finally claimed his first 20-lap 358 late model win on Saturday
night. Alleman’s win came in a “topless” event for the stock
cars that removed their roof for the night.
Craig Wagaman finished second over Gene Knaub, Carl Billet and
Charlie Schaffer.
Ryan Smith won the first of two ARDC wingless features over
Drew Heistand, Steve Buckwalter, Frank Polimeda and Eric
Heydenreich while Bruce Buckwalter, Jr. won the second main over
Heistand, Nick Wean, PJ Gargiulo and Steve Buckwalter.
ANOTHER LAST LAP PASS
Harrisburg’s Chad Layton made another last lap pass on Joey
Hershey to score the 25-lap 410 Sprint car win Saturday at Port
Royal Speedway.
Just as he did a few weeks back, Hershey set the pace during
the entire event only to have a final lap slider by Layton steal
the win. Layton’s win was his second of the year at Port and
fourth overall this season.
Hershey, Mike Wagner, Ryan Taylor and Mike Erdley were the top
five finishers. A season low 16 cars were on hand.
Waylon Wagner captured his second 20-lap late model win at the
Port over Scott Haus, Tim Gray, Bob Dunn and Andy Haus.
WINTERS NABS ANOTHER WIN
Despite racing with a broken wrist, McConnellsburg’s Marvin
Winters notched his second late model win of the season Saturday
at Hagerstown Speedway.
Winters was injured a crash at the track last week but
rebounded nicely as he won over $3,000 for his win in the Ernie
D’s Special.
Winters took the win over Scott Lebarron, Jamie Lathroum,
Ronnie Dehaven, Jr. and Dylan Yoder.
Kyle Lear made it back to back wins in late model sportsman
action as he took the win over Bruce Kane, Terry Flaherty,
Ashley Barrett and Steve Axtell, Jr.
Brian Miller won the pure stock feature over Mike Warrenfeltz
and Danny Beavers.
BEARD TAKES TRAILWAY WIN
Bobby Beard came away with Friday night’s 358 late model
feature win at Trail-Way Speedway.
While Beard was taking the feature win, it was runner-up
finisher Gene Knaub who collected the big pay as he won the
overall Tri Track Shootout that featured races at Williams
Grove, Lincoln and Trailway. Knaub earned an extra $500.
Finishing behind Beard and Kanub were Carl Billet, Steve Billet
and Shaun Jones.
Kyle Martin won the thundercar feature over Sam Gallagher and
Rick Weaver.
Brian Racine won Saturday’s 600 Micro Sprint feature at
Trail-Way over Tim Dietz, Isaac Sneeringer, Jimmy Brookens and
Bo Gordon.
Nik Gower won the 270 Micros over Mike Boyer, Brian Marriott,
Jim Still and Chris Kennedy while Tim Henry won the Legends over
Geremy Sheaffer, Reed Salony, Bill Diehl and Scott Gobrecht.

night. Kyle Wiser won the 358 late model feature over Brad Kling
and Dave Dunkle. Mark Grove was the mini stock winner and Tom
