Dewease Breaks Into Port Royal Victory Lane

By Brad Vores July 29, 2007

 

 It’s not been the season Lance Dewease has been accustomed to.

 Wins are harder to come by and it’s hard to believe that the Fayetteville driver has been shut out of Port Royal Speedway victory lane.
 Until Saturday night.

 Dewease started ninth in the field and tracked down Rick Lafferty on lap 14 and drove to his first win of the year at the Port and 91st of his illustrious career at the track. It was the final tune-up at the track for this week’s $30,000 to win Dream Race Extreme.

 Todd Shaffer finished second in the Gary and Patty Beam owned sprinter with track points leader Keith Kauffman third, Jeff Shepard fourth and Kevin Nouse fifth in the BG Motorsports machine.

 Scott Haus won for the fifth time in late model action winning over Tim Wilson, Tim Gray, Jere Wierman and Steve Campbell while Terry Naugle took the pro stock win over Derick Garman, Tim Krape, Harold Ranck and Jason Zook.


HOCKENBERRY WINS FIRST
  New Bloomfield’s Bobby Hockenberry dominated Saturday night’s 20-lap Super Sportsman feature at Williams Grove Speedway.

  Hockenberry opened up large leads during the event after starting eighth. He wasted no time in taking the top spot on lap two and never looked back in his first win of the season.

  A final lap caution made things close at the end but it was Hockenberry taking the win over Rick Barr, Carlisle’s Frankie Herr, John Stehman and Dillsburg’s Rich Eichelberger. Summerdale’s JR Fry was seventh, Dillsburg’s Ryan Rupp 12th, Newville’s Russ Mitten 16th and Mechanicsburg’s Dave Berkheimer 21st.

 Travis Mease recorded his first ever 358 late model win at Williams Grove over Dave Shulski, points leader Tyler Armstrong, Tyler Hershey and Pat Beard. Shippensburg’s Jerry Bard was eighth, Newville’s Dave Sokoloski 14th and Shermansdale’s Shaun Jones 17th.

 Randy Allen scored the street stock win over Todd Snook, Kory Sites, Shippensburg’s Randy Patterson and Carlisle’s Rodney Clouser. Newville’s Gary Johnston was sixth.

 Ed Hollenbach won the 4-cylinder main over John Stoll, Jr., John Henry, Brian Michaels and Joe Jakubic.


ANOTHER WIN FOR HEIMBACH
 Selinsgrove’s Blane Heimbach strengthened his points lead with his third 358 sprint car win of the year Saturday.

 Heimbach raced by Carlisle’s Dave Calaman on the 19th lap and drove to his 21st career win at the Snyder County oval.

 Phil Walter finished second ahead of Larry Kelleher, Calaman and Sean Michael.  Carlisle’s Jason Shultz finished ninth.

 Jeff Rine picked up win number five in late model action over Dustin Hoffman, Tony Adams, Chris Shuey and Coleby Frye while Keith Bissinger won for the second time in roadrunner action over Donnie Murphy and Cory Long.


CANNON SCORES SECOND WIN
 Pat Cannon raced to his second 20-lap 358 Sprint car win of the season Saturday night at Lincoln Speedway.

 The race was not completed by press time for Sunday’s paper.

 Cannon started 12th and raced his way to the lead on lap 14 and drove away for the win. It was his third win in four Lincoln starts in the Highlands Tire and Service Center No. 3.

 Rookie driver Paul Hively III finished second with Gardners racer Jay Galloway turning in another fine run in third place ahead of Cory Haas and Aaron Ott.

 Biglerville’s Nat Tuckey won for the 10th time in Lincoln thundercar action over Duane Watson with Mike Zeigler, Sr. making his return in the same car he raced last season for a third place finish over his son Mike Jr in fourth and Mike Slaybaugh in fifth.


YINGLING TOPS SSP
 Chuck Yingling raced to his second 358 late model win of the year Saturday at Susquehanna Speedway Park.

 He led all the way over Charles Potts, Carl Graves, John Moser, Jr. and Bob Scott, Jr. Carlisle’s Carl Billet was 11th, Shermansdale’s Jake Jones 17th and Carlisle’s Scott Richwine 18th.

 Dustin Hollinger topped street stock action over Carlisle’s Brian Hauenstein, Craig Morgan, Joey Hoffer and Todd Bowersox with Newville’s Wes Alleman sixth.

 Tom Johns was the Xtreme Stock car winner with Charlie Pensinger 20th.


MURPHY STAYS HOT
 Enola racer Jake Murphy kept up his winning ways with a Friday night 600 Micro Sprint win at Path Valley Speedway Park.

 Murphy started on the pole of the feature and led the entire distance for his third win of the season in his No. 18 sprinter.
