Rahmer Claims Another Kenny Weld Win

By Brad Vores  Oct. 7, 2007

Fred Rahmer turned a front row starting spot into a $7,500 payday in Saturday night’s Kenny Weld Memorial at Lincoln Speedway.

 Rahmer timed seventh in the 34 car field and moved to the pole when fast timer Cody Darrah failed to qualify in his heat race. Darrah had drew the six inversion for the feature.
 Rahmer led early while Jeff Shepard and Lucas Wolfe battled for the runner-up spot when Wolfe took the spot on lap seven.

 Wolfe quickly closed on Rahmer but made contact with the track champion on lap eight, suffered a flat tire and spun out.

 Shepard then gave Rahmer all he could handle for a few laps until Rahmer took the lead for good on lap 18 and never looked back in his 154th career win at the track and sixth this season. It was his seventh overall win in 2007 in the Chad and Jenn Clemens owned sprinter. The team announced they would be together again next season.

 Shepard finished second with Stevie Smith third, Cris Eash fourth and Brian Leppo fifth.

 Rounding out the top 10 were Doug Esh, Greg Hodnett, Alan Krimes, Mark Smith and 24th starting Chad Layton.

 Duane Watson won the regular 20 lap thundercar main and moved to within 10 points of the lead in the division point standings. He won over Neil Smith, Ronnie Thomas, Larry Neiderer and Jimmy Combs.

 Craig Wagaman won the makeup thundercar feature postponed from August 28 over Watson, Combs, Smith and Danny Beard.


SPANGLER GOES TOPLESS
 Dillsburg’s Todd Spangler took the top wing off of his 305 Sprint car Friday night at Path Valley Speedway and captured the feature win.

 Spangler led all the way in the feature event for his first win of the year over Von McGee, Jim Kennedy, Mike Freet and Mike Zielonis.

 Justin Grosz won the wingless 270 Micro sprint main over Steve Whary, Cord Kisthardt, Levi Peck and Colby Dice while Heath Hehnly won the wingless 600 Micro Sprint feature over Kyle Moody, Mike Freed, Ryan Greth and Zach Rhodes. Newville’s Timmie Barrick finished 11th.

 Donnie Hendershot won the 1000 Sidewinders over Jess Snyder and Jason Morrison while Gary Dehart won the thundercars and Tim Burkholder won the mini stocks.

BRODERICK CLAIMS BOUNTY
 Donnie Broderick managed to stop Mike Goodwin’s winning streak in the Pumpkin 200 at Susquehanna Speedway Park on Saturday and picked up a nice paycheck for doing so.

 Broderick took the lead from Goodwin on lap 140 of the 150 lap test and claimed the $1,000 bounty placed on Goodwin, who has won three out of the last four Pumpkin races. Goodwin started last and led laps 121 through 139. He finished second over Bill Powell, Larry Landis and Carlisle’s Matt Smith. Carlisle’s Jim Smith was 26th.  

 Bill Brown, Sr. won the Classic Car feature over Joe Snodgrass and Al Daniels while Bob Campbell won the Vintage car main over Bob Casti.


COVERT WINS AT THE ROCK
 Jason Covert added another big win to his resume as he picked up the Friday night win on opening night of the Big Kahuna VII at the Rock, Allegany Motor Speedway.

 Covert, of York Haven led 43 of the 44 laps to score the $5,000 top prize and help him towards defending his MACS Series championship.

 Steve Casebolt finished in the runner-up spot over Mike Balzano, Rod Conley and Jack Pencil.

 Saturday night’s press release from the second night of the event was not received as of Sunday evening.
