McCLELLAND OUTRUNS ROHRBAUGH TO TRAIL-WAY “358” SPRINT WIN;

SHANK TAKES FIRST OF YEAR IN THUNDERCARS;

SLANKER AGAIN IN EXTREME STOCKS; SHANNON WEAVER BEST OF LIMITED STOCKS

Hanover, PA (7/3/09) –Brad McClelland came from seventh starting spot to drive around three-time defending track champ Jeff Rohrbaugh on a 13th-lap restart and claimed his third Trail-Way win of the year in the 25-lap Miller’s Racing Parts Summer Challenge for “358” sprint cars on Friday night.

“These Travis engines really take off,” said McClelland of the race-winning pass after claiming the $1,200 top prize, “We were just trying to put a good show on for the fans…and I think we did.”

Without McClelland’s help, Rohrbaugh wouldn’t have started the race at all. The B&D Truck Hoist/VMAC Racing team loaned a magneto to the Roy Vincent Racing #7v between the heats (one of which was won by Rohrbaugh) and the feature.

Rohrbaugh, who stared sixth and grabbed the lead from outside front row starter Brian Bruckner on lap ten, held on for second, with Bruckner completing his best-ever Trail-Way run in third. Eighth- starting Logan Schuchart, who won last Friday night, outdualed Billy Dietrich for fourth, with Dietrich crossing fifth.

Sixth through tenth were DS Diversified Services hard charger Mike Bittinger (who came from 19th starting spot), Randy Whisler, Kyle Moody, Dale Hammaker, and Tim Wagaman.

Heats for the 25 “358” sprint cars were won by Zach Euculano, Bruckner, and Rohrbaugh.

Brad Shank came from fourth starting spot to take his first checkered flag of the year in the 20-lap thundercar feature. Shank took the lead from race-long leader Will Walls on a fourth lap restart and led the rest of the way.

In an event which saw five cars mix it up over the middle stages, David Prunkl and Sam Gallagher passed each other several times for second, with the #8MD crossing just ahead of the #25 at the end.

Kyle Martin and Will Walls completed the top five.

Heats for the 16 thundercars were won by Martin and Shank.

Tommy Slanker assumed the lead when Gary Calimer, Jr. blew up while sporting a huge lead on lap 11, then held off Timothy Hahn over the final five laps for his second win in a row in the 20-lap Extreme Stock feature. Third through fifth were Jeremy Stremmel, Andrew Frye, and Greg Miller.

Shannon Weaver started seventh but led every lap of the 12-lap limited stock feature. Weaver sorted his way through a wild multi-car tangle as the limited stocks were completing their first lap. Despite the melee, all cars continued down the front stretch until one car came to a stop in the first turn after all cars had passed the flagstand. That turned out to be the only caution of the race.

Chad Weaver came from eighth starting spot to finish second, with Robbie Carroll coming from last (14th) to finish third.

Tomorrow (7/4), Trail-Way will host a Junk Car Demolition race with Figure 8 and Powder Puff racing and two Scramble Car features. Racing begins at 6:00 p.m. with gates opening at 4:00 p.m.

Next Friday (7/10), the 358 Sprint Cars, 1000cc Sidewinders, and Limited Stocks are on the card. Racing begins at 7:30 p.m. and the gates open at 5:30 p.m.

Next Saturday (7/11), Trail-Way will host the 600cc and 270cc Micros, Legends, Scramble Cars and 4 and 6cyl. Starlite Ovals. Racing begins at 6:30 p.m. with gates opening at 4:30 p.m.

NEW CAR GETS DICELY THE SPEEDWEEK WIN;

CHAD MYERS DOMINATES SIDEWINDERS

Hanover, PA (6/27/09) – Mike Dicely shut out his competition by quickly taking the lead on the first lap and never letting go. After gathering the second highest point total in Sprint Bandit Qualifying, Dicely took advantage of his front row starting spot and dominated the race.

The 25 lap main event saw 20 caution free laps, before Mike Rutherford, who was running third, came to a stop in the fourth turn. Dicely’s opponents saw a chance to win and attempted to steal his victory lane moment, however Dicely showed his endurance as he lapped cars one by one and didn’t let up.

“You pass lapped cars just like anyone else. They won’t move over for you,” said Dicely while in victory lane. Dicely drove the Hyper Racing sponsored #44 to victory lane for the second time this season at Trail-Way Speedway.

Although it seemed like Shane Lewis might overtake him in the closing moments of the race, Dicely kept strong and eventually ran out with the win and $2,500 top prize for the first race of the PA 600 Speedweek.

After the caution flew on lap 23 for a spinning Isaac Sneeringer, Lewis again tried to steal the lead from Dicely on the restart. The two made contact, both drivers maintained control and Dicely kept the lead.

Lewis crossed in second with Robbie Kendall, Luke Thomas, and Brian Racine completing the top five. Sixth through tenth were Keith McIntyre Jr., Jimmy Brookens, Tyler Walton, Aaron Spahr, and Tim Buckwalter. Brian Racine accumulated the most points in qualifying.

Chad Myers dominated the Sidewinder feature for the second week in a row. Myers started on the pole and led every lap. “A front row starting spot helps a lot,” explained Myers after winning by a straightaway over Michael Zielonis.

The Sidewinder feature saw only one caution at the half way point when Mark Strickler made contact with Gary Funck causing Strickler to spin. Finishing behind Myers and Zielonis were Brian Racine, Rohan Beasley, and Jason Morrison.

Next Friday (7/3), the 358 Sprint Cars sponsored by Miller Racing Parts, Thundercars, Extreme Stocks, and Limited Stocks are on the card. Racing begins at 7:30 p.m. and the gates open at 5:30 p.m.

Next Saturday (7/4), Trail-Way will have a Junk Car Demolition race with Figure 8, Powder Puff, and two Scramble Car features. Racing begins at 6:00 p.m. with gates opening at 4:00 p.m.

SHARK ATTACK AT TRAIL-WAY WITH FIRST SCHUCHART CAREER WIN;

SAM GALLAGHER SETS NEW TRACK RECORD AS THUNDERCARS MAKE THEIR RETURN;

NESTER TAKES ALL-AMERICAN OUTLAWS; CHAD WEAVER LIMITED STOCK VICTOR

Hanover, PA (6/26/09) – A young driver who has had his troubles with lapped traffic so far this season used lapped traffic en route to his first career win at Trail-Way Speedway Friday night.

He doesn’t have his driver’s license yet, but 16-year-old Logan Schuchart took some advice from his famous grandfather to win the 25-lap “358” sprint car feature.

“Grandpa (Bobby Allen) told me to stay on the bottom because it was going to get slick during the feature,” said a jubilant Schuchart upon exiting his Speedway 94/Don Ott Racing Engines #1s in victory lane, “I’ve learned from racing through lapped traffic this year, and I saw she (Jessie Morrison) was getting behind some lapped cars, and that’s what I needed.”

Jessie Morrison, who started on the outside of the front row, followed polesitter Nick Palmerino for the first three laps before sliding under the #51N exiting turn two of lap four. She led the next 19 laps before fourth-starting Schuchart drove under her as the two closed on lap traffic in turn four of lap 24.

“This is awesome!” exclaimed Schuchart, “I thought we might get it (his first win) last week. But I’m glad we’re here now.”

Morrison completed her best-ever Trail-Way run by crossing second, inches ahead of Billy Dietrich, who came from eighth starting spot to finish third. Last week’s winner Mike Bittinger was fourth, with Dale Hammaker completing the top five. Sixth through tenth were Brad McClelland, Joe Trone, Jr., Danny Dietrich, Doug Hammaker, and Shane Smith.

Heats for the 25 “358” sprint cars on hand were won by Morrison, Jeff Rohrbaugh, and Brad McClelland. Randy Whisler won the consolation event.

Rohrbaugh’s car went up in a puff of smoke on lap nine of the feature and was taken to the pits for the night.

Sam Gallagher set a new 20-lap track record as the thundercars made their return to Trail-Way using the 2008 track rules.

A redraw of the first three finishers from each heat put Gallagher on the pole for the start. He led every lap and crossed in a time of 6-minutes, 9.92-seconds, more than three seconds faster than the old track record set by Will Walls last year.

Dan Zechman started fourth and finished second, with Mike Walls, Kyle Martin, and Will Walls third through fifth.

Heats for the 12 thundercars were won by Gallagher and Zechman.


A wild 20-lap All-American Outlaw feature saw Hunter Nester take the win when leaders Joe Alder and Brooks Coleman got together while racing for the lead on the next-to-last lap. Coleman spun in turn four as the leaders were coming down to take the white flag, and Alder was sent to the rear for roughriding.

Nester assumed the lead from a distant third, and led the final two laps. Tommy Crummitt and Allen Daniels finished second and third.

Heats for the 20 All-American Outlaws were won by Alder and Coleman.

Chad Weaver came from ninth starting spot to grab the lead from Michael Kolodiej on lap 11 and drive to the win in the 12-lap limited stock feature.

Ricky Weaver, Jr. got by Kolodiej on the last lap to cross second, with Kolodiej settling for third.

Heats for the 25 limited stocks were won by Kolodiej, Daryl Hanson, and Robby Carroll.

Tomorrow (6/27), Trail-Way will host opening night of PA 600cc Micro-Sprint Speedweek, paying $2,500 to win. The event is sponsored by Dry Dock Lounge from Martinsburg, West Virginia. Also on the card will be the 1000cc Sidewinders. Racing begins at 6:30 p.m. with gates opening at 4:30 p.m. The raindate with be Tuesday June 30.

SHARK ATTACK AT TRAIL-WAY WITH FIRST SCHUCHART CAREER WIN;

SAM GALLAGHER SETS NEW TRACK RECORD AS THUNDERCARS MAKE THEIR RETURN;

NESTER TAKES ALL-AMERICAN OUTLAWS; CHAD WEAVER LIMITED STOCK VICTOR

Hanover, PA (6/26/09) – A young driver who has had his troubles with lapped traffic so far this season used lapped traffic en route to his first career win at Trail-Way Speedway Friday night.

He doesn’t have his driver’s license yet, but 16-year-old Logan Schuchart took some advice from his famous grandfather to win the 25-lap “358” sprint car feature.

“Grandpa (Bobby Allen) told me to stay on the bottom because it was going to get slick during the feature,” said a jubilant Schuchart upon exiting his Speedway 94/Don Ott Racing Engines #1s in victory lane, “I’ve learned from racing through lapped traffic this year, and I saw she (Jessie Morrison) was getting behind some lapped cars, and that’s what I needed.”

Jessie Morrison, who started on the outside of the front row, followed polesitter Nick Palmerino for the first three laps before sliding under the #51N exiting turn two of lap four. She led the next 19 laps before fourth-starting Schuchart drove under her as the two closed on lap traffic in turn four of lap 24.

“This is awesome!” exclaimed Schuchart, “I thought we might get it (his first win) last week. But I’m glad we’re here now.”

Morrison completed her best-ever Trail-Way run by crossing second, inches ahead of Billy Dietrich, who came from eighth starting spot to finish third. Last week’s winner Mike Bittinger was fourth, with Dale Hammaker completing the top five. Sixth through tenth were Brad McClelland, Joe Trone, Jr., Danny Dietrich, Doug Hammaker, and Shane Smith.

Heats for the 25 “358” sprint cars on hand were won by Morrison, Jeff Rohrbaugh, and Brad McClelland. Randy Whisler won the consolation event.

Rohrbaugh’s car went up in a puff of smoke on lap nine of the feature and was taken to the pits for the night.

Sam Gallagher set a new 20-lap track record as the thundercars made their return to Trail-Way using the 2008 track rules.

A redraw of the first three finishers from each heat put Gallagher on the pole for the start. He led every lap and crossed in a time of 6-minutes, 9.92-seconds, more than three seconds faster than the old track record set by Will Walls last year.

Dan Zechman started fourth and finished second, with Mike Walls, Kyle Martin, and Will Walls third through fifth.

Heats for the 12 thundercars were won by Gallagher and Zechman.


A wild 20-lap All-American Outlaw feature saw Hunter Nester take the win when leaders Joe Alder and Brooks Coleman got together while racing for the lead on the next-to-last lap. Coleman spun in turn four as the leaders were coming down to take the white flag, and Alder was sent to the rear for roughriding.

Nester assumed the lead from a distant third, and led the final two laps. Tommy Crummitt and Allen Daniels finished second and third.

Heats for the 20 All-American Outlaws were won by Alder and Coleman.

Chad Weaver came from ninth starting spot to grab the lead from Michael Kolodiej on lap 11 and drive to the win in the 12-lap limited stock feature.

Ricky Weaver, Jr. got by Kolodiej on the last lap to cross second, with Kolodiej settling for third.

Heats for the 25 limited stocks were won by Kolodiej, Daryl Hanson, and Robby Carroll.

Tomorrow (6/27), Trail-Way will host opening night of PA 600cc Micro-Sprint Speedweek, paying $2,500 to win. The event is sponsored by Dry Dock Lounge from Martinsburg, West Virginia. Also on the card will be the 1000cc Sidewinders. Racing begins at 6:30 p.m. with gates opening at 4:30 p.m. The raindate with be Tuesday June 30.

GOWER GLIDES TO VICTORY;

KELLISON LEADS LAST LAP;

HOPKINS AND WEAVER CONTROL FEATURE EVENTS;

Hanover, PA (6/20/09) – “It’s amazing,” exclaimed J.B. Cunningham after claiming his first career 600cc Micro Sprint win in his Digna Machine Corp. #7C. Cunningham inherited the lead when polesitter Brandon Keller spun after leading the first eight laps.

Cunningham was challenged late in the race by point leader Tim Dietz. Dietz started eleventh and made his way to fourth by the half way point in the race. Dietz challenged Cunningham for the lead over the final seven laps but was unable to make a pass stick.

“I was nervous, he’s helped me out these past few weeks,” said Cunningham about the challenges posed by Dietz. “I blocked him in [turns] one and two and I was able to hold him off,” explained Cunningham in victory lane.

Crossing behind Dietz were Brian Racine, Robbie Kendall, and Jimmy Brookens completing the top five. Sixth through tenth were Brad Weber, Tyler Esh, Isaac Sneeringer, Dwayne Gutshall, and Tim Buckwalter. Heat winners for the 24 600cc Micro Sprints were Keller and Cunningham.

In the 270cc Micro feature, Nik Gower had to pass Michael Ertter for the lead twice before finally claiming the lead for good. Gower came from the ninth starting position to begin challenging Ertter on the 8th lap.

Gower made a pass for the lead on the 12th lap but the caution flew handing the lead back to Ertter. But Gower wanted the lead back. In the first turn after the restart, Gower made the race winning pass on Ertter and picked up another win at Trail-Way.

Ertter settled for second with Todd Hoover, Dave Schreiber, and David Holbrook completing the top five. Sixth through tenth were Bill Laughman (who came from the rear after being penalized on the 16th lap for roughriding), Sean McAndrew, Steve Daron, Jason Swavely, and Jim Still. Gower and Hoover picked up the heat wins for the 17 270cc Micros on hand.

The Sidewinder action was dominated by Chad and Craig Myers. Early in the evening, polesitter Chad Myers grabbed the lead from the start of the make-up feature and picked up his first win at Trail-Way in the Sidewinders. Craig Myers ran second until 7th-starting Jesse Snyder slid under him taking away the second position.

With two laps remaining Snyder tried to pass a lapped car and take the lead from the Chad Myers, but Snyder spun and brought out the only caution of the event. Craig Myers, Alex Schanz, Brian Racine, and Joe Robertson completed the top five.

Later brother Craig Myers led every lap of the regularly scheduled feature to win his first at Trail-Way Speedway. Joe Robertson ran second to Myers for the majority of the race, but could not close the distance to make a pass for the lead.

Finishing behind Joe Robertson were Mark Strickler, Sean McAndrew, and Chad Myers. Chad Myers and Joe Robertson were the heat winners for the 16 Sidewinders.

In the 6cyl Starlite Oval feature, Wes Kellison got a lucky break when race long leader Steven Alban Jr. slowed in the fourth turn of the last lap. Kellison passed Steve Hollingsworth for second and came across the line to lead the last lap and pick up the win.

Rick Hopkins grabbed the lead on the start of the 4cyl Starlite Oval Feature and never looked back. Hopkins was able to keep his hood down this week and pick up his first win of the 2009 season. Terry Hartlaub came from 8th to finish second to Hopkins.

The 4 and 6cyl Feature polesitter Ricky Weaver Jr. took the lead from the start. Weaver held off challenges by fellow front row starter Ray Hollingsworth late in the race, and took the win.

Next Friday (6/26), the 358 Sprint Cars, Thundercars, All American Outlaws, and Limited Stocks are on the card. Racing begins at 7:30 p.m. and the gates open at 5:30 p.m.

For Immediate Release Friday, June 19, 2009

BITTINGER CLAIMS FIRST OF YEAR IN TRAIL-WAY 358’S;

ROBERT NICKLOW WINS LIMITED STOCK CHAMPIONSHIP;

TRAIL-WAY RETURNS TO LAST YEAR’S RULES FOR THUNDERCARS

Hanover, PA (6/19/09) – Mike Bittinger took the lead from lady driver Jessie Morrison on a fifth-lap restart and drove away to his first win of the season in the Auto Racing Club of Hagerstown Night 25-lap “358” sprint car feature at Trail-Way Speedway Friday night.

But the end of the race came none too soon for the Pancho’s Racing Products #93.

“I started running out of fuel,” explained Bittinger after scoring his seventh career Trail-Way win, “Had we gone one more lap, I wouldn’t have won it.”

Bittinger started third and got under polesitter Zach Euculano for second on the opening lap. He then followed Morrison for the first four laps before a caution came out for a three-car spin involving Brad McClelland, Shane Smith, and Billy Dietrich in turn four. During the caution, three-time defending track champ Jeff Rohrbaugh was pushed into the pits, ending his night. McClelland also went off on the wrecker.

After taking the lead on the restart, the Pancho’s Racing Products/North York AutoMenders #93 pulled away from the field until entering lapped traffic at the mid-way point of the race.

Second-place Logan Schuchart (who started seventh) and third-place Dale Hammaker began closing on the leader until Schuchart struck the lapped car of Tim Stallings in turn four of lap 18, bringing out the caution. Hammaker then pulled onto the back bumper of Bittinger and dogged him the rest of the way.

“I saw Dale was in second, and didn’t see his nose on the restart, so I stayed on the top,” said Bittinger, “I was up in ‘no man’s land,’ but the track held up and lapped cars were in the middle, so I stayed there.”

Bittinger’s final margin of victory over Hammaker was two carlengths.

Third through fifth were DS Diversified Services hard charger Tim Wagaman (who padded his points lead by coming from 13th starting spot), Joe Trone, Jr., and Billy Dietrich (who came from the back after the fifth-lap spin). Sixth through tenth were Randy Davis, Jr., Euculano, Doug Hammaker, Keith Prutzman, and 19th-starting Randy Whisler.

Heats for the 21 “358” sprinters were won by Dietrich, Davis, and Bittinger.

Robert Nicklow came from sixth starting spot to take the lead from Sarah Redmond on the second lap and claim the win in the 15-lap limited stock championship feature.

Shannon Weaver started eighth and made it close at the end, but settled for second, with Terry Hartlaub third, 16th-starting Wes McDaniel fourth, and Redmond fifth.

Winners of the combined thundercar/extreme stock feature were Dan Furman in the thundercars and Tommy Slanker in the extreme stocks.

Trail-Way announced during the week that several factors have led to a decision to return to last year’s rules for the thundercars. Factors involved in the decision were detailed in a posting on the track’s website earlier in the week. The move was made to attract more thundercars to Trail-Way for 11 upcoming races which have been added to the Trail-Way schedule.

The amended thundercar schedule for the remainder of 2009 has been posted on the Trail-Way website.

Tomorrow (6/20), Trail-Way will host the 600cc and 270cc Micros, 1000cc Sidewinders, Scramble Cars and 4 and 6cyl. Starlite Ovals. Racing begins at 6:30 p.m. with gates opening at 4:30 p.m.

Next Friday (6/26), the 358 Sprint Cars, Thundercars, All American Outlaws, and Limited Stocks are on the card for Pepsi Night. Racing begins at 7:30 p.m. and the gates open at 5:30 p.m. Next Saturday (6/27), Trail-Way will host opening night of PA 600 Speedweek, paying $3,000 to win.

DEITZ FINDS VICTORY LANE;

SALONY LEADS LEGENDS;

LAUGHMAN LOCKS IN TWO IN A ROW;

HARTLAUB, BLEVINS, AND KRESS WIN STARLITES;

REECE DOMINATES SCRAMBLE

Hanover, PA (6/13/09) – Tim Dietz took his Gardy Enterprises sponsored #18D to victory lane for the first time in 2009 at Trail-Way Speedway on Saturday night. After starting eleventh, Dietz found his way to the lead by the seventh lap.

Dietz claimed the lead from race long leader Rodney Glass after a drag race down the backstretch on the sixth lap. Lapped traffic allowed Robbie Kendall to get around Glass for second. With five laps to go, Dave Feeser brought out the caution by spinning in front of the leaders. This put second place driver Kendall on the rear bumper of Dietz.

Another caution came out with one lap to go, shortening the event due to a rule that does not allow one lap shootouts. Former track champion Dietz claimed his twelfth win in a 600cc Micro Sprint.

Crossing the line behind Dietz were Kendall, Glass, Josh Schrum, and 22nd-starting Isaac Sneeringer. Sixth through tenth were Brandon Keller, Brad Weber, Ryan McCollum, J.B. Cunningham, and Tyler Esh. Heat winners for the 25 600cc Micro Sprints were Keller, Cunningham, and Glass.

In the Legends main event, polesitter Reed Salony lead every lap to pick up the win. The feature saw many cautions and challenges for Salony’s lead by fellow front row starter Tom Mayberry.

McCLELLAND EDGES SCHUCHART IN TRAIL-WAY THRILLER;

KURT WELSH WINS CLASSIC CAR FEATURE;

WEAVER & CARROLL WINNERS IN LIMITED STOCKS

Hanover, PA (6/12/09) –“I looked on the scoreboard, and didn’t know whether the ‘1’ was Tim (Wagaman) or Logan (Schuchart). Then I saw the shark…”

That was how Brad McClelland summed up the race following his second win of the year in the 25-lap “358” sprint car feature at Trail-Way Speedway Friday night.

McClelland, who started fifth, took the lead from polesitter and race-long leader Nick Palmerino on the back stretch of lap four, but the only caution flag of the race came out for three-time defending track champ Jeff Rohrbaugh and Mike Bittinger, who got together right in front of them in turn three.

That forced McClelland back into second for the restart, but he promptly made the pass on the restart.

Though he led the rest of the way, sixth-starting rookie Logan Schuchart took second from Palmerino on lap nine and closed on the B&D Truck Hoist/VMAC racing #6 every time McClelland came up on a lapped car. But each time, McClelland was able to hold the Speedway 94 sprinter off.

“I thought we had an awesome car tonight,” said McClelland after his 18th career Trail-Way 358 sprint car win, “But Logan was right there…”

The battle for the lead through heavy lapped traffic had the fans on their feet over the last eight laps. The “shark” McClelland was referring to was the hood of Schuchart’s car, painted to look exactly like the hood of his famous grandfather Bobby Allen, who heads up Schuchart’s pit crew.

McClelland’s final margin of victory was two carlengths.

Crossing third through fifth were Dale Hammaker, Joe Trone, Jr., and Palmerino. Sixth through tenth were Wagaman, Danny Dietrich, DS Diversified Services hard charger Kyle Moody (who started 16th), Randy Davis, and Shane Smith.

Heats for the 21 “358” sprinters were won by Palmerino, Davis, and McClelland.

Kurt Welsh was the winner of a bizarre combined Classic Car/Thundercar 20-lap feature that saw the two thundercars take each other out while battling for the lead in turn four of 10.

Dan Furman was awarded the thundercar win after Allen Cullum was penalized for roughriding in the incident.

Second through fifth in the event were Matt Wallace, Joe Snodgrass, and Pete Neal.

Heats for the division were won by Cullum and Welsh.

Gettysburg’s Robbie Carroll set both 5-lap and 12-lap tracks records in winning both his heat and the feature in the limited stocks.

Carroll broke both records by four seconds, even after plowing into a lapped car and limping across the finish line in the feature event. Joe Racine and Brad Kress were bumper-to-bumper behind Carroll at the finish to cross second and third.

Earlier in the evening, Chad Weaver came from fifth starting spot to win the make-up limited stock feature from May 15th. Steve Hollingsworth and 13th-starting Shannon Weaver crossed second and third.

Tomorrow (6/13), Trail-Way will host the 600cc and 270cc Micros, Central PA Legends, Scramble Cars and 4 and 6 cyl. Starlite Ovals. Racing begins at 6:30 p.m. with gates opening at 4:30 p.m.

KRESS FILLS IN TO WIN

Felkner got the edge on Schrock after a drag race down the backstretch and was able to pass Schrock in turns three and four. With smoke coming from his machine, Felkner was forced to give up the lead and return to the pit area. Brad Weber was running second and inherited the lead.

Weber was able to hold off a charging Jimmy Brookens and pick up his second win in a row in the B.K. Flanary Plumbing/ RTS Chassis #17. Brookens, Josh Schrum, Brian Racine, and Schrock completed the top five. Heat winners for the 22 600cc micros were Schrock and Schrum.

In the 270cc Micro Sprint makeup, third-starting Steve Daron picked up his first win of the 2009 racing season. Polesitter Chris Kennedy took the lead on a single file restart but had Daron on his tail. Daron made the race winning pass in turns three and four and Daron came across the line to lead the fourth lap.

Todd Hoover came from tenth starting position to challenge Daron for the lead. After a lap 19 caution, Hoover tried to pass Daron for the lead but was unsuccessful. Nik Gower was able to pass Hoover for second. Hoover settled for third with Dave Schreiber and Angela Caruso rounding out the top five.

In the regularly scheduled 270cc micro feature, Bill Laughman steered the Rustic Iron Hair Salon #2 into victory lane. Laughman’s win did not come easy. Polesitter Eric Heath led the first half of the race before he was passed by Mike Boyer. Boyer passed Heath but the lap was not completed and Boyer was put back. A few laps later, Heath, Laughman, and Boyer made it three wide with Boyer crossing the line with the lead.

Laughman was running second and made the race winning pass in turns three and four of the fourteenth lap after a restart. Laughman held off challenges from Boyer and Nik Gower to pick up the win. Gower, Boyer, Chris Melton, and Jim Still rounded out the top five. Heat winners for the 26 270cc micros were Nik Gower and Jim Still.

Allen Daniels started on the pole and picked up the win in the All American Outlaw main event.

In the Scramble Car feature event, Mark Reece took the lead form the outside front row and led eleven of the twelve laps. In turn two of the eleventh lap, the second place car of Ray Hollingsworth and Reece made contact which cost Reece the win. Ray Hollingsworth crossed the line first but was penalized two spots for the contact. This handed the win to Steve Hollingsworth who crossed the line in second.

DICELY LEADS EVERY LAP OF SUPER 600 SHOWDOWN;

RUTHERFORD FINISHES SECOND, BUT WINS 270 CHALLENGE;

JESSE SNYDER BEST OF SIDEWINDERS; XCEL MODIFIED TO RYAN HIGGS;

KYLE HIEBER TAKES SPEEDSTRS; CODY KLINE SLINGSHOT VICTOR

Hanover, PA (5/24/09) – Mike Dicely ended a perfect weekend by claiming the $5,780 top prize in the Hyper Racing Super 600 Showdown at Trail-Way Speedway Sunday night.

The win capped off the three-day “Microracing.com Spring Nationals,” the biggest weekend in the history of the McSherrystown oval.

After coming from eight starting spot to win Saturday’s preliminary feature, Dicely won the 10-lap dash to put him on the pole for the main event, and led all 50 laps.

“As much as I like Mike Rutherford, I’m glad he didn’t win this one!” exclaimed a jubilant Dicely after doing a wing dance in victory lane, “It was a long day, but we had a lot of fun.”

“I started on the pole,” added Dicely, one of the main sponsors for the event, “But I think with last night’s win and today’s dash win, we earned it.”

Dicely’s ton of experience on rubbered-up tracks showed. Though Rutherford came from sixth to finish second, he was never able to seriously challenge the owner of Hyper Racing.

Though he didn’t win, Rutherford’s second-place finish ended a good day which included a win in the RTS 270 Challenge earlier in the evening.

Third through fifth in the 50-lap Showdown were 11th-starting Heath Hehnly, Shane Lewis, and Tim Dietz.

Rutherford started on the outside row of the RTS 270 Challenge, but followed polesitter Brian Marriott for the first eight laps before grabbing the lead for good in lapped traffic on lap nine. From there, Rutherford blew away the rest of the field to score the $2,090 win.

Sixth-starting Todd Hoover slid under Marriott for second following a 25th lap restart and ran second over the second of the race. Marriott crossed third, with Sean McAndrew fourth and 11th-starting Richie Hartman crossing fifth.

Jessie Snyder scored the $1,000 win in the 30-lap 1000cc Viper Chassis “Sidewinder” feature after starting third, grabbing the lead from Chad Hough on lap 10, and leading the rest of the way. It was Snyder’s second win in as many nights after Shawn Seifert’s disqualification on Saturday.

Mark Strickler crossed second, with Sean McAndrew, Joe Robertson, and Hough completing the top five, the only cars to finish on the lead lap.

Winner of the S&S Speedways Slingshots was Cody Kline, who started on the pole and led the entire 20 laps. Brett Bieber crossed second, with Kyle Hieber, Shannon Smith, and Lucas Schott rounding out the top five.

Kyle Hieber came back to claim the win in the Tobias Speedway Entertainment SpeedSTRs feature, leading start to finish in the 20-lap event. Jeff Gallup, Doug Sherwood, Nick Pecko, and Jason Geesaman were second through fifth.

Ryan Higgs was victorious in the 20-600ccXcel modifieds. He started on the pole but followed fellow front-row starter Nick Mady for the first 13 laps before making the race-winning pass under the 77X in turns three and four of lap 14. Eric Whitby got by Mady on lap 18 for second, with Mady settling for third.

Tyler Haydt came from 19th starting spot to second before contact with another car dropped him to fourth for the finish. Tyler Bartik crossed fifth.

Next Friday (5/29), the 358 Sprint Cars, Thundercars, Extreme Stocks and Limited Championship are on the card. Racing begins at 7:30 p.m. and the gates open at 5:30 p.m. Next Saturday (5/30), Trail-Way will host the 600cc and 270cc Micros, All American Outlaws, and Scramble Cars and 4 and 6cyl. Starlite Ovals. Racing begins at 6:30 p.m.. with gates opening at 4:30 p.m.

DICELY, SNYDER AND HEHNLY FOUND VICTORY LANE


AT MICRORACING.COM SPRING NATIONALS;

SCHOTT CLAIMS SLINGSHOT FEATURE;

TOBIAS TOPS SpeedSTRs

Hanover, PA (5/23/09) – The Microracing.com Spring Nationals saw Mike Dicely sliced his way from his 8th-starting spot to claim the $1000 600cc Micro Sprint main event. Dicely was in fourth by lap 7 and passed Isaac Sneeringer for third on the 12th lap. Over the next four laps, Dicely passed Tim Dietz and Dwayne Gutshall to take the lead on lap 16.

The leaders entered lapped traffic and Gutshall slid high in turn two allowing Dicely to get underneath him. In victory lane with the Hyper Racing sponsored #44, Dicely said he was “able to slip by and stay in the groove.”

“We’re saving the flips and summersaults for after tomorrow’s feature,” said Dicely about the $10,000 to win Super 600 Showdown scheduled for tomorrow.

Dietz was unable to challenge Dicely and settled for second. Along with Dicely and Dietz; Gutshall, Sneeringer and Kendall automatically qualify for tomorrow’s feature through the dash races.

Dwayne Gutshall, Brian Racine, Tim Dietz, Robbie Kendall, Isaac Sneeringer, and Ben Murphy won the heats for the 50 600cc Micro Sprints. The C-main was won by Zach Light, and Luke Thomas won the B-Main.

Lucas Schott came from the eight starting position to claim the Tobias Slingshot victory. Cody Kline took the lead from the pole and held the lead until Schott made an inside move in turn one on the lap nine restart. Brett Bieber followed Schott passed Kline and set his sights on Kline.

The duo of Kline and Bieber pulled away from the rest of the field but Bieber was unable to make the pass for the lead. Kline held the third spot for the remainder of the race. Michael Glass and Matthew Mertz crossed the line behind Kline to complete the top five and automatically qualify for tomorrow’s feature through the dash races. Heat winners for the 17 Slingshots were Kline and Brett Bieber.

Heath Hehnly led every lap to pick up his first career win in the 270cc Micros. Hehnly started on the pole and grabbed the lead over Ryan Smith going into the first turn. Hehnly held off the drivers of the highly competitive 270cc Micros division and took the Gold Rush Trailer Sales/ Country Side Auto Center #82 to victory lane.

Smith held off Sean McAndrew and Brian Marriott over the first half of the race. After a lap nine restart, Bill Laughman was able to pass Marriott for the fourth position. A few laps later, Mike Rutherford claimed the fifth position and became the fifth and final car to automatically qualify for tomorrow’s feature.

Rutherford made a pass on Laughman on the final lap to finish fourth, Laughman settled for fifth.

Hehnly, Ryan Smith, Sean McAndrew, and Brian Marriott won the heat races for the 44 270cc Micros on hand. Kevin Ward Jr. picked up the consolation race win.

Jesse Snyder found victory lane for the first time in 2009 after the disqualification of first place finisher Shawn Seifert. Race long leader Chad Hough spun in turn two trying to pass a lapped car and was unable to finish the race, Jesse Snyder was handed the lead.

Snyder led for two laps before Seifert tried a pass going into turn four. Seifert couldn’t make the pass stick, but two laps later Seifert made what appeared to be the race winning pass going into turn one. Unfortunately for Seifert, a problem in the tech area cost him the win promoting Snyder to first place.

Brian Racine(who started 13th) found his groove and was able to finish third. Mark Strickler and Sean McAndrew completed the top five. Seifert and Hough picked up the heat race wins for the 17 Sidewinders.

In the SpeedSTR main event, polesitter Tyler Potts grabbed the race lead going into the first turn. He was challenged by fellow front row starter Doug Sherwood and fifth-starting Rich Tobias for the first half of the race. These three drivers pulled away from the rest of the field and Tobias and Potts battled for the lead on the 13th lap. This battle resulted in Potts bringing out the caution by spinning in turn two.

Tobias was handed the lead and got the win over Sherwood. Lucas Schott and Jeff Gallup rounded out the top five. Heat winners for the 13 SpeedSTRs were Steve Hicks and Doug Rose.

Sunday (5/24) is the Super 600 Showdown with the same divisions at Saturday with the addition of the Xcel Modifieds. Racing starts at 12 p.m. Grandstands open at 9:30 a.m. and Pits open at 7 a.m.

ROHRBAUGH CRUISES TO PANCHO’S RACING PRODUCTS FEATURE WIN;

CULLUM AGAIN IN THUNDERCAR/EXTREME STOCK MAIN

Hanover, PA (5/15/09) – Jeff Rohrbaugh likes draw shows.

The three-time defending track champ drew the #2 pill for the start and led every lap to claim the $1,200 winner’s share of the Pancho’s Racing Products “358” sprint car feature at Trail-Way Speedway Friday night.

As fate would have it, the Pancho’s #93 of Mike Bittinger started on the pole, and Bittinger grabbed the lead during the first two attempts to start the race. Both starts, however, were called back. The first caution came out for Randy Davis, Jr., who lost his brakes and coasted to a stop exiting turn two. The second caution came out for Zach Euculano and Randy Whisler, who got together in turn one.

Rohrbaugh took the lead on the third attempt to start the race and paced the field through 17 non-stop laps before Derek Sell slowed in turn one and collected third-place Dale Hammaker and fourth-place Brad McClelland. Second-place Bittinger also caught a piece of the crash, and, although he didn’t stop on the track, he was forced to the pits with a flat tire.

Fifth-place Tim Wagaman assumed second for the restart and ran there the rest of the way.

“I felt like the valves tightened up,” said Rohrbaugh in victory lane after claiming his division-leading 20th career Trail-Way win, “I know if I bobble one time, my nephew’s going to pass me. He (Wagaman) is doing a great job and I’m very proud of him.”

Despite a masterful job in lapped traffic through the middle stages of the race, Rohrbaugh wasn’t happy with his race car.

“She’s a little lazy right now,” added the driver of the Roy Vincent Racing #7v, “We have more work to do this week.”

Crossing third behind Rohrbaugh and Wagaman was Austin Reed, with Billy Dietrich coming from 11th to finish fourth and DS Diversified Services hard charger Kyle Moody advancing from 23rd starting spot to finish fifth. Sixth through tenth were Joe Trone, Jr., Bittinger (who came from the back after the flat tire), Danny Dietrich, Mike Ressler, and Brian Bruckner.

Heat winners for the 25 “358” Sprints were won by Reed, Bittinger, and Billy Dietrich.

Allen Cullum won his second feature in as many races in the 20-lap combined thundercar/extreme stock feature event.

Cullum held off fellow Thundercar driver Dan Furman the entire way, with Gary Calimer crossing third and scoring his second straight extreme stock win over Mike Zeigler, Jr. and Jed Latshaw.

Heat winner for the 12 thundercar/extreme stocks was Dan Furman.

The limited stock feature was postponed to June 5th after an opening-lap red flag for a flipping Terry Hartlaub ended the night’s racing program. Hartlaub did not suffer life-threatening injuries and was conscious when lifted from the car by emergency crews summoned to the track.

Heat winners for the 22 Limited Stocks were Mike Kolodiej and Chad Weaver.

Tomorrow (5/16), the 600cc and 270cc micro sprints, 1000cc Sidewinders, Scramble Cars and 4 and 6cyl. Starlite Ovals are on the card. Racing begins at 6:30 p.m. and the gates open at 4:30 p.m.

On Sunday (5/17), Trail-Way will also hold a once-postponed practice day for all divisions beginning at 1:00 p.m, with gates opening at noon.

Next weekend, Trail-Way will host one of the biggest shows in the history of the track--the Microracing.com Spring Nationals. Friday (5/22) is rotating open practice for all participating classes from 5 p.m. to 11p.m. Gates open at 4 p.m.

Saturday (5/23), the 600cc and 270cc micros, 1000cc Sidewinders, Slingshots, and SpeedSTRs will be racing. Racing starts at 2 p.m. Grandstands open at 11 a.m. and Pits open at 9 a.m.

Sunday (5/24) is the Super 600 Showdown with the same divisions at Friday with the addition of the Xcel Modifieds. Racing starts at 12 p.m. Grandstands open at 9:30 a.m. and Pits open at 7 a.m.

CRISWELL WINS FIRST AT TRAIL-WAY;

BOBBY BEARD WINS IN 358 LATE MODELS;

CHAD WEAVER CLAIMS LIMITED STOCKS

Hanover, PA (5/9/09) – Chad Criswell’s first visit to Trail-Way Speedway in a Super Sportsman paid off. Polesitter Lanny Hake took the early race lead with Jason Fry grabbing second. Hake slid high coming off turn four which allowed Fry to make the pass and lead lap four. By the ninth lap, Fry would soon enter lapped traffic but a caution saved him.

“Jason pushed up a little bit and I was in the right place,” said Criswell in victory lane. Criswell was offered the ride in the Village Craft/Rustic Tavern #55 just a few weeks before the 2009 season.

Chad Criswell nabbed the lead from Fry on the 10th lap and never looked back. He was also about to enter lapped traffic when a caution flag came out. After several good restarts for the Criswell machine, Criswell landed in victory lane. Fry was then passed by 9th starting Doug Hendricks, who finished second. Fry settled for third. Phil Griffith and Dylan Cisney completed the top five.

Duaine Smith, Rich Eichelberger, 15th-starting Russ Mitten, Stan Wanner, and 17th-starting Paul Miller finished 6th through 10th. The heat winners for the 28 Super Sportsman were Doug Hendricks, Phil Griffith, and Criswell. The consolation race was won by Ryan Rupp.

In 358 Late Model action, polesitter Chaz Walls took the lead on the green after several failed attempts to start the feature event. With a lapped car in front of Walls, 6th-starting Bobby Beard made the race winning pass on the backstretch. Walls challenged Beard over the final ten laps but settled for second.

Pancho Lawler, Robby Garlock and Charles Schaffer completed the top five. Heat winners for the 13 358 Late Models were Bobby Beard and Chaz Walls.

Polesitter Robbie Carroll lead the first five laps of the Limited Stock feature before losing a tire in turns one and two. That handed the lead over to Chad Weaver, who remained in the lead for the final seven laps to pick up the win. Daryl Hanson, who started 14th, finished second with Shannon Weaver, Brad Kress, and Wes McDaniel completing the top five.

Heat winners for the 15 Limited Stocks were Chad Weaver and Robbie Carroll.

Next Friday (5/15), will be the Pancho’s Racing Products $1200 to win 358 Sprint Car Feature with the Thundercars, Extreme Stocks, and the Limited Stocks. Racing begins at 7:30p.m. with gates opening at 5:30 p.m.

Next Saturday (5/16), Trail-Way will host the 600cc and 270cc Micro Sprints, 1000cc Sidewinders, Scramble Cars and 4 and 6cyl Starlite Ovals. Racing begins at 6:30 p.m. with gates opening at 4:30 p.m.

WALTON WINS TWO IN A ROW;

McCLELLAND PICKS UP WIN #74;

PETE NEAL WINS CLASSIC CAR FEATURE;

McDANIEL, WARNICK AND WEAVER BEST SCRAMBLES

Hanover, PA (5/2/09) – Last week’s feature winner, Tyler Walton’s begging paid off. The Walton team was considering taking the night off, but they made the last minute decision to go racing.

“I don’t know how lucky you can get. We were supposed to start eight, but ended up outside the front row, but we’ll take it.” Walton brought the Hyper Racing/Spar Engines #14T 600cc micro to victory lane for the second time in a row.

Tanner Hunsicker took the lead after a red flag on the initial start. Skylar Felkner, Tyler Esh, and Rodney Glass were involved in red flag incident on the front stretch. All drivers were uninjured, but were unable to restart the race. Walton had almost a straight-a-way lead at the checkered over second place finisher Tim Dietz.

Brad Cox, Hunsicker, and Dave Feeser completed the top five. Heats for the 22 600cc micros were won by Hunsicker and Dietz.

In victory lane, Brad McClelland commented on the lapped traffic he battled through to pick up his 74th win in the 270cc micro sprints. “I had to go where [the lapped cars] weren’t, that was high. It was smoother up there, but I didn’t know how close second place was.” McClelland never faltered in lapped traffic and made it to victory lane once again in his B&D Truck Hoist #16.

Eighth-starting McClelland made the race winning pass on early race leader, Michael Boer, on lap 4 of the 270cc main event. Twelfth-starting Bill Laughman crossed second with Tim McClelland, Nik Gower, and David Holbrook completing the top five. Heats for the 20 270cc micros were won by Tim McClelland and Steve Daron.

Twenty-two year old Pete Neal picked up his first ever win in the Classic Car feature Saturday night. Neal grabbed the lead on the fifth lap and never looked back. Matt Wallace, Roland Brown, Kurt Welsh and Joe Snodgrass finished second through fifth. Snodgrass and Welsh won the heats for the 12 Classic Cars on hand.

In 4cyl Starlite Oval action, Wes McDaniel led all 12 laps to win. Daryl Hanson battled McDaniel for the lead, but settled for second. Joe Flanary crossed in third. Second-starting Rusty Warnick also led every lap of the 6cyl Starlite Oval feature. Warnick was challenged by second and third finishers, Wes Kellison and Steve Hollingsworth, throughout the race. In the Scramble Car feature, Ricky Weaver Jr. battled with Rob Lyon to pick up the eventual win.

Tuesday (5/5), Trail-Way will host an open practice for all divisions from 5p.m. to 8p.m. Cost is $40 with a $5 pit fee. Grandstand admission is free.

Next Friday (5/8), there will be no racing. On Saturday, May 9, 2009, Trail-Way will host the Super Sportsman, 358 Late Models, and Limited Stocks. Racing begins at 6:30 p.m. with gates opening at 4:30 p.m.

McDANIEL, HANSON, AND GASTLEY WIN SCRAMBLE EVENTS

Hanover, PA (4/25/09) – Tyler Walton came from 6th-starting spot to win his first 600cc micro feature event at Trail-Way. “This is a dream come true. We’ve been racing here for three years.” Walton said upon exiting his Hyper Racing/Family House Restaurant sponsored #14T machine.


Polesitter Brandon Keller took the early race lead. Keller had Brad Weber batting him for the top spot and by the 8th lap, Weber made the pass but had Walton right behind him.


Walton made the race winning pass on the 15th lap. Walton was then challenged by Robbie Kendall, but after a red flag brought out by a flipping Eddie Rice, Kendall was unable to pass Walton and settled for second. Brian Racine, Tyler Esh, and Weber completed the top five.


Sixth through tenth were Isaac Sneeringer, Skylar Felkner, Jon Bakner, Jermain Godshall, and Brad Cox. Heats for the 24 600s were won by Keller, Weber, and Esh.

Steve Daron took the lead on the start and held onto the lead for the first half of the race. On a lap 10 restart, 5th-starting Mike Boyer made the race winning pass going into turn one. Daron tried to reclaim the lead, but settled for second.


“It’s been way too long” said Boyer when he was congratulated on his win in victory lane. Following Boyer and Daron across the line were Nik Gower, Michael Ertter and Todd Hoover. With defending track champ Jim Still, Sam Lamothe, Dave Schreiber, David Holbrook, and Chris Melton completing the top ten. Boyer, Daron, and Lamothe won the heats for the 24 270s.

After a slow start to the All American Outlaw/Thundercar feature event, Jessie Morrison grabbed the lead. She was challenged by 4th-starting Allen Daniels on the 6th lap. Allen Daniels made it through a series of cautions, to pick up the race win. Unfortunately Morrison was involved in a caution and was unable to finish the event. Second through fifth were Brooks Coleman, Ron Ritenaur, Tommy Crummitt, and Dylan Keim. Allen Cullum was credited with the Thundercar victory for the second time this season.


Wes McDaniel battled from his 8th-starting spot to win after passing race long leader Rob Lyon, with one lap remaining. Lyon settled for second, with Anthony Nine, Mike Kolodiej, and Ricky Weaver Jr. completing the top five.

TRONE PILOTS CHAMPION CHEVY TO TRAIL-WAY SPRING CHAMPIONSHIP;

CHAD WEAVER WINS LIMITED STOCK FEATURE

Hanover, PA (4/24/09) –A former micro-sprint champion claimed the “Insinger Fuels Spring Championship” in his Champion Chevrolet 358 sprint car at Trail-Way Speedway Friday night.


Hanover’s Joe Trone, Jr. wasn’t happy with his performance, but he was certainly happy with the results after scoring his second career Trail-Way win and taking home the $1,200 top prize in the 30-lap championship event. “I want to thank Brad McClelland for helping me out,” said a worn out Trone upon exiting his Champion Chevrolet/Pancho’s Racing Products/Fastenal Racing #99 in victory lane, “He came out during that red and gave me some pointers. I was having trouble in (turns) one and two and he explained what I should do. I felt like I was terrible, and I was lucky to be in front.”


Not so lucky were McClelland, who lost a rear end in his heat and scratched from the feature, and three-time track champ Jeff Rohrbaugh, who came from the back after suffering a flat tire on a second attempt to start the race and flipped in turn three while running sixth on lap 13. That brought out the red which led to the McClelland-Trone conference.


Trone, the 2000 Trail-Way 270cc micro-sprint champ, started fourth before a caution came out for Randy Whisler, who suffering front-end damage after hitting the front stretch wall coming turn four on the initial start. As the cars were lining up for the restart, polesitter Logan Schuchart stopped on the backstretch with motor problems.


Trone then started on the outside of the front row and led every lap. But it wasn’t without its moments.


“Lapped cars weren’t giving me a lot of room,” said Trone, “But the preferred line here is the inside, and I would probably have been there, too, if I was back there.”


Tim Wagaman, who started fifth and then restarted third, slid under Dale Hammaker to reclaim second on a 13th-lap restart and finished runner-up for the second week in a row. Third through fifth were Dale Hammaker, tenth-starting Billy Dietrich, and Kyle Moody.


Completing the top ten were Danny Dietrich, DS Diversified Services hard charger Doug Hammaker (who started 21st and came from the back twice after making a tire change during a caution), 14th-starting Keith Prutzman, Jessie Morrison (who, like Hammaker, advanced 14 spots from her 23rd starting spot), and 18th-starting Shane Smith.


Heats for the 23 “358” sprint cars on hand were won by Mike Bittinger, Billy Dietrich, and Dale Hammaker.


Chad Weaver came from sixth starting spot to win the 12-lap limited stock feature. He raced with Daryl Hanson from lap two on before grabbing the lead for good on lap 11.


Hanson settled for second, with Ricky Weaver, Jr. third.

Tomorrow night (4/25), Trail-Way will host the 600cc and 270cc Micros, All-American Outlaws, Scramble Cars and 4 and 6cyl. Starlite Ovals. Racing begins at 6:30 p.m. with gates opening at 4:30 p.m.

ROHRBAUGH ROARS BACK FOR FIRST TRAIL-WAY WIN;

CULLUM, CALIMER WIN THUNDERCARS, EXTREME STOCKS

Hanover, PA (4/17/09) – Three-time defending track champ Jeff Rohrbaugh used a “BBS” motor and took advantage of some good ole’ fashioned luck to win Friday night’s 25-lap “358” feature at Trail-Way Speedway.

Rohrbaugh, who scratched from last Friday’s feature after hurting the motor while winning his heat, pulled the #1 pill for the redraw and led every lap en route to his division-leading 19th career Trail-Way win.

“This is a beg, borrow, and steal motor,” said a happy Rohrbaugh upon exiting his Roy Vincent Racing/L&R Auto Body #7V, “Roy spent the whole week getting this motor back together after last Friday night. Sometimes it’s better to be lucky than good.”

Though he led every lap, Rohrbaugh actually wasn’t good over the second half of the race.

“We used the same set up as last year,” explained Rohrbaugh, “But the race track is so much faster this year that it made us loose. We were terrible the second half of the race.”

That’s where the luck came in.

Brad McClelland, who started eighth after winning the season opener last week, got by Dale Hammaker on lap 13 and was applying heavy pressure on the leader when he slid sideways to avoid the stopped car of Derek Sell on turn two and came to a stop. McClelland took to the car to the pits as the rest of the field was brought to a halt for a fuel stop.

Hammaker assumed second for the restart, and was also closing on Rohrbaugh when he spun in turn two of lap 23.

Rohrbaugh was unchallenged over the final two laps, crossing ahead of nephew Tim Wagaman, with seventh-starting Billy Dietrich finishing third, Joe Trone, Jr. coming from tenth to finish fourth, and 16th-starting Randy Whisler finishing fifth.

Completing the top ten were Keith Prutzman, DS Diversified Services hard charger Shane Smith (who started 19th), Logan Schuchart, lady driver Jessie Morrison, and 17th-starting Mike Bittinger.

All three heat winners set times under the existing track record in qualifying. Rohrbaugh’s 10-lap time of 2:18.53 seconds set a new track record until McClelland re-broke the record about ten minutes later. McClelland’s run through lapped traffic was timed in 2:18.43. Schuchart’s 10-lap time of 2:19.66 was also under the old track record (2:20.30 set 9/2/05 by Mike Lehman).

Winners of the 20-lap combined thundercar-extreme stock feature were Allen Cullum in the Thundercars (overall winner) and Gary Calimer, Jr. in the extreme stocks.

Both drivers were first to cross for their division in the combined qualifying event for the eight cars which turned out

Shannon Weaver came from eighth starting spot to win the 12-lap limited feature. He was followed across the line by Rodney Weaver and 11th-starting Brad Kress.

Tomorrow (4/17), Trail-Way will host the 600cc and 270cc Micros, 1000cc Sidewinders, Scramble Cars and 4 and 6cyl. Starlite Ovals. Racing begins at 6:30 p.m., with gates opening at 4:30 p.m. Next Friday (4/24), the 358 Sprint Cars will run in their first major event of the season; the Insinger Fuels “Spring Championship” paying $1200 to win. The Thundercars and Limited Stocks are also on the card. Racing begins at 7:30 p.m. and the gates open at 5:30 p.m. Next Saturday (4/25), Trail-Way will host the 600cc and 270cc Micros, All-American Outlaws, Scramble Cars and 4 and 6cyl. Starlite Ovals.

McClelland claims “358” sprint car season opener at Trail-Way;

Walls first and second in 358 late models; Kress takes limited stock feature

Hanover, PA (4/10/09) – Brad McClelland came from 10th starting spot to become the fourth different leader and win the season opener for “358” sprint cars at Trail-Way Speedway Friday night.

“That was some fun racin’!,” exclaimed McClelland after exiting his B&D Truck Hoist #6 in victory lane.

The fans agreed.

McClelland worked his way through the field as Tim Wagaman, Kyle Moody, and Billy Dietrich battled for the top spot in non-stop wheel-to-wheel action over the first half of the race.

Wagaman took the lead from the pole and paced the field for the first seven laps before Moody slipped under the DS Diversified Services #1 on turn two in heavy lapped traffic.

Moody then led for the next six laps before seventh-starting Billy Dietrich grabbed the top spot on the backstretch of lap 14.

By the time the first caution flag came out for a Keith Prutzman spin in turn four, McClelland had advanced to the runner-up spot. He chased Dietrich for one lap before becoming the fourth and final leader when Dietrich slipped high in turn two of lap 18.

“I don’t know what happened to the #8 there,” said McClelland of Dietrich, who was dealing with a severe push exiting the turns for the remainder of the race.

“I owe it all to Jim Travis Racing Engines,” added McClelland, “This is the first race I finished this year and we finally have power.”

Moody got around Dietrich on lap 22 to finish second, with Doug Hammaker getting under Dietrich on lap 24 to finish third. Dietrich hung on for fourth, with Dale Hammaker crossing fifth.

Sixth through tenth were Wagaman, Randy Davis, Logan Schuhart, Joe Trone, Jr., and Randy Whisler.

Heats for the 22 “358” sprint cars were won by Jeff Rohrbaugh, Dietrich, and Whisler.

Rohrbaugh, the three-time defending Trail-Way champ, scratched from the feature after winning his heat.

Mike Walls took advantage of a crash which wiped out the leaders to claim the win in the 25-lap 358 late model feature.

Grant Adams and Bobby Beard ended up in the wall while racing for the lead exiting turn four of lap 13, ended both drivers’ night. That handed the lead over to the Frankie’s Used Auto Parts #1W. No one was able to challenge after that, and Walls drove away to the win over Chaz Walls and John McDonough, Jr.

Bernie Beard and Roy Warehime, Jr. rounded out the top five.

Heats for the 12 “358” late models were won by Adams and Bobby Beard.

Brad Kress started on the pole and led every lap of the 12-lap limited stock feature. With heavy smoke pouring out of the #56, Kress hung on to edge out Terry Hartlaub for the win. Shannon Weaver (who started 14th) crossed third, with 16th-starting Wes McDaniel fourth and 21st-starting Chad Weaver fifth.

The 22 limited stocks on hand waived their qualifying events due to the threatening weather and ran a feature only.

Tomorrow (4/11), Trail-Way will host the $1000-to-win 600 Pro Series event postponed from two weeks ago. Also on the card are the 270cc Micros, Legends, Scramble Cars and 4 and 6cyl. Starlite Ovals.

Felkner started on the pole and grabbed the lead over Tanner Hunsicker, Tyler Walton and Brian Racine.

Walton passed Felkner going down the backstretch but Felkner nabbed the lead back in turn four to hold on to the lead.

KENDALL, SKIAS, AND RACINE WIN FROM OUTSIDE FRONT ROW ON OPENING DAY AT TRAIL-WAY SPEEDWAY

Hanover, PA (8/30/08) – Opening day at Trail-Way saw 42 600cc Micro Sprints, 35 270cc Micro Sprints, and 14 1000cc Sidewinders. An eventful opening day of racing, lead to all three feature event winners starting from the outside front row.

The first half of the 600cc Micro feature field made it safely through the first two turns. A spinning car in the middle of the pack led to a pile of cars on the racing surface. Tim Dietz and Ryan Greth got the worst of the damage and were towed off the track.

On a single file restart pole sitter Ryan Smith took the lead. Robbie Kendall made a pass for the lead on the second circuit. Mike Dicely passed Smith for second four laps later and set his sights on Kendall.

With five laps remaining, Dicely caught Kendall on the backstretch and made the pass in turns three and four. Unfortunately for Dicely, the caution was thrown and the lap was not counted, handing the lead back to Kendall. Kendall held onto the lead for the final five laps to pick up a feature win on opening day.

Heats for the 600cc Micros were won by Jason Van Doren, Duane Gutshall, Jeff Hartman, and Shane Lewis. Josh Schrum and Ryan Greth picked up the consolation race wins.

The start of the 270cc Micro feature saw five wide action on the first lap as drivers scrambled for positions. On the second lap restart, Nick Skias and Nik Gower were side by side racing for the lead.

The leaders were once again slowed when Michael Ertter made hard contact with the outside wall exiting turn two. Ertter was uninjured in the accident. When the racing action resumed, Skias remained in the lead.

Todd Hoover slowly caught up to Skias and Hoover made several attempts to grab the lead. On the final lap, Hoover tried an inside move going into turn three, but couldn’t make it stick. With Skias on the high side and Hoover on the low side, Skias held on to pick up the win by about half a car length.

Heats were one by Gower, Greg Miller, and Todd Hoover. Sean McAndrew picked up the consolation race win for the 270cc Micros.

In 1000cc Sidewinder action, a red flag marred the start of the feature event. Six cars were tangled together on the front stretch. On the restart, Brian Racine took the lead.

After a few laps the wing struts broke on the inside panel of the wing, causing the car to push, but this proved to have little effect on Racine. He had over a half of a straightaway lead over pole sitter Rohan Beasley.

A caution came out on lap 13, which caused Brian to have the field on his tail. Beasley pulled into the pit area on the caution, opening up the second position to Jason Morrison. Morrison and Shawn Seifert made it a three wide battle for the lead on the final two laps.

Brian Racine held on to pick up his first career Sprint car win. In victory lane, Racine thanked his crew, family, and friends as well as his father, who recreantly passed away. Racine could tell his father was with him, holding the wing together for him.

The heats for the 1000cc Sidewinders were won by Joe Robertson and Shawn Seifert.

Next Saturday (3/21), Trail-Way will once again host the 600cc and 270cc Mircos and the 1000cc Sidewinders. Racing begins at 1 p.m. with gates opening at 9 a.m.

Next Sunday (3/22), AMA Motorcycle Short Track will have their first race of the season at Trail-Way Speedway. Gates open at 9 a.m. with racing at 1 p.m.

JESSE SHEAFFER WINS ANIMAL PRO; CODY SIEBER WINS $1,000 PRO CLASS AT 6TH ANNUAL KART KLASSIC

Hanover, PA (10/18/08) – Trail-Way Speedway had a long day of racing for the 6th Annual “Kart Klassic.” Over 400 karts took part in the show in 25 different classes.

After completing the heats, some drivers lost top qualifying positions due to being light on the scales. The drivers that were disqualified in the heat lead to exciting racing action for the features, with those drivers showing their stills and racing from the back of the pack.

In the Stock Lites feature, drivers were scrambling for positions, racing three and four wide around the track. After starting in the rear, Zach Topper made his way up to the 6th position, advancing eleven positions. Unfortunately for Topper, he and another car made contact in turn two on the last lap, Topper then finished 13th.

The Yamaha Heavy class was hardest on drivers, with only eight of the nineteen drivers completing the 15 lap feature event. The feature saw several caution flags with the winner of the second heat, Andy Pritt, eventually picking up the win.

The two headliner divisions, Animal Pro and Pro Class, had full fields of cars for the “Kart Klassic.” The Animal Pro class averaged speeds over 71 miles per hour in the heat events which were held in the afternoon.

In the Animal Pro feature event, Doug Lucas flipped in the fourth turn bringing out the second red flag of the night. Lucas was taken to ambulance for a check-up by the EMTs and walked to the pit area under his own power. The first red flag took place during practice at the beginning of the show.

The second headliner division, the Pro Class, had 30 cars racing for the top prize of $1,000. Time trials were held for the 43 cars looking for a shot at the top money. Paul White had the fastest time and finished second in the feature.

The 15 lap feature event went non-stop with 11th starting Cody Sieber winning the event. Cody picked up the win by 0.061 seconds over polesitter, Paul White.

Don’t forget the 36th Annual Awards Banquet at the New Oxford Social Club on November 8, 2008. And 31st Annual Motorama Races and Shows Feb. 21 and 22, 2009.

ISAAC SNEERINGER CLAIMS FINAL POINTS RACE OF 2008; JIMMY BROOKENS NABS 600cc TRACK CHAMPIONSHIP

NIK GOWER TAKES 270cc WIN; JIM STILL CLAIMS 270cc CHAMPIONSHIP

Hanover, PA (9/13/08) – “This is awesome!” Isaac Sneeringer said after exiting his #19Z, DCI Racing sponsored 600cc micro sprinter, “I can’t believe it!”

Sneeringer, David Feeser, Jimmy Brookens, and others put on an amazing show in the final points race of 2008 for the micro sprints.

Feeser grabbed the initial race lead and held onto the top spot for 14 laps until Sneeringer got into the inside of Feeser’s #12, coming across the line for the 14th lap. It wasn’t until they went into turns one and two that Sneeringer secured the lead, with Feeser falling back several car lengths.

“I think God was with me… I was definitely up in the air!” Sneeringer said referring to the pass of Feeser.

With two laps to go, Feeser, Brookens, Joe Robertson started to battle for the second position. The lapped car of Greg Schlosnagle came into view for the front runners, as several cars touched sending Brookens sideways, thus almost ending his chase for the championship.

Brookens somehow kept his car from completely spinning out and never stopped, allowing him to keep the runner up spot. Unfortunately for Robertson and Feeser, they fell back several positions due to the racing incident.

“I survived the heat race, stayed out of trouble in the feature,” Brookens said in victory lane, as for getting sideways, “It is what it is… we kept going, and I’ll leave it at that.”

The question following the lap 18 caution was, was Brookens going to remain conservative or go for the win?

On the restart, Brookens tapped the rear bumper of Sneeringer, but never dove to the inside to attempt to take the lead away.

“I knew Brookens would get me if he got underneath me,” Sneeringer said, “Brookens is an amazing driver, and that’s why he’s the track champion.”

Following Sneeringer and Brookens across the line was Brad Weber, Job Bakner, and Brent Marks.

Nik Gower claimed the nonstop 20-lap 270cc micro sprint feature, Saturday night at Trail-Way Speedway.

Outside front row starter Steven Cox took the initial race lead, and maintained the top spot for 13 laps until lapped traffic became a factor. With lapped cars in the way, Nik Gower was able to make the race winning pass.

Following Gower across the line was Cox, Tim McClelland, Billy Laughman, and Steve Whary. 2008 track champion, Jim Still, finished in the 8th position.

In Central Pennsylvania Legends racing, Jason Rochelle picked up yet another feature win in a caution marred race. Rochelle, who started on the pole received some pressure from Randy Kissinger, but with seven cautions flags (many back-to-back), head starter Allen Grace was forced to bring out the final restart.

When given the green, another car spun going into turns one and two, giving the win to Rochelle.

Completing the top five were Kissinger, Greg Burd, Robert Sobieski, and Justin Grim.

Heat winners were Kissinger and Geremey Sheaffer.

In 4 cylinder starlite oval racing, Shawn Crunkilton picked up the win after Daryl Hanson was sent back for jumping on the start. In 6 cylinder starlite oval competition. Rob Lyon and Roy Denike both picked up a feature win in the scramble car races.

Next Friday (9/19), Trail-Way hosts the Trone Outdoors 358 sprint cars ($2,000 to win) along with the RMP Thundercars, and the limited stocks in a program which begins at 7:30 p.m. with gates opening at 5:30 p.m.

The AMA Short Track Motorcycles return to Trail-Way on Saturday, September 20th. Gates and racing are at 3:30 and 6:00 p.m., respectively.

ROHRBAUGH COMES FROM 12TH TO WIN RAIN-SHORTENED TRAIL-WAY "358" SPRINT FEATURE;

RMP THUNDERCARS, LIMITED STOCK RACES POSTPONED


HANOVER, PA, 9/5/08-Points leader Jeff Rohrbaugh raced like it was going to rain.

It did, and the two-time defending track champ came from 12th starting spot to grab the race lead from Randy Whisler on lap 14 and become the all-time career feature winner in the "358" sprint division at Trail-Way Speedway Friday night.

Somehow, Rohrbaugh worked his way through the field in an event which saw seven caution flags and two red flags before the rain arrived during a 16th-lap red flag for a Tim Stallings flip on turn two which also collected Brad McClelland. McClelland was running in the back after going to the pits to change a tire when his B&D Truck Hoist #6 was damaged during the earlier red flag on lap eight.

The first red flag came out when outside front row starter and race-long leader Doug Hammaker got out of shape exiting turn four, turned onto his side, and collected eighth-place Colt White and tenth-place Billy Dietrich. White was transported to the hospital with an arm injury and all three cars were towed from the scene. McClelland was also involved and kept moving, but stopped in turn two during the red with a flat tire.

Whisler assumed the lead for the ninth-lap restart, with Randy Davis, Jr. second and Rohrbaugh third. Rohrbaugh got around Davis for second on lap 12 and drove high in turns three and four to get past Whisler for the lead to complete lap 14.

Just after the leaders passed the flagstand, the #4R of Davie Franek came to a stop on turn four, bringing out the seventh caution flag of the race. Rohrbaugh led one final green flag lap before the final red flag came out for Stallings.

Intermittent rain during the feature got too heavy as the cars were lining up for the 16th lap restart, and the field was sent to the pits. With more than half the race complete, promoters declared the race official five minutes later.

The win moved Rohrbaugh one win ahead of McClelland on the all-time win list with 17.

Credited with second was Whisler, with Davis third, Darren Schott fourth, and Joe Trone, Jr. fifth. Completing the top ten were Dale Hammaker, Tim Wagaman, Jessie Morrison, Mike Duncan, and Brie Hershey.

Heats for the 26 "358" sprints were won by McClelland, Whisler, and Dale Hammaker.

With qualifying in for the 19 RMP thundercars on hand, the thundercar feature was rescheduled for next Friday, September 12th.

Thundercar heats were won by Will Walls and Dan Furman.

Heats for the 22 limited stock cars were won by Chad Weaver and Brad Staub. A make-up date for that feature will be announced.

Tomorrow (9/6), Trail-Way swings back with the 270 and 600cc micro sprints. Along with the micros will be the 1000cc sidewinder sprints, scramble cars, and the Starlite Ovals. Racing begins at 6:30 p.m., with the gates opening at 4:30 p.m.

Next Friday (9/12), Trail-Way will host the 358 Sprint cars, RMP Thundercars and the limited stock cars in a program which begins at 7:30 p.m. with the gates opening at 5:30 p.m. The thundercars will also make up their feature from Friday night.

Saturday (9/13) is yet another exciting night of racing at Trail-Way with the 270 and 600 micro sprints, Central PA INEX Legends, scramble cars and the Starlit Ovals. Gates for this show open at 4:30 with racing set to begin at 6:30.

SEAN McANDREW TAKES 2ND MICRO WIN OF 2008

BRAD WEBER FOUGHT OFF VETERAN BROOKENS TO GRAB HIS 1ST 600cc MICRO WIN

Hanover, PA (8/23/08) – Sean McAndrew was in the right place at the right time, Saturday night at Trail-Way Speedway. Polesitter Michael Ertter held the lead for 15 consecutive laps until suffering mechanical problems and slowing on the frontstretch giving the race lead to McAndrew.

McAndrew held the lead until a caution came out on the 17th lap due to Ertter stopping at the second turn exit. On the next green, Jim Still was all over leader McAndrew bolting to the inside and the outside several times trying to get around for the win. McAndrew held the bottom and kept Still off the top at the same time, picking up his second 270cc micro sprint feature win of 2008. McAndrew’s first win came back in April.

Following McAndrew across the line was Still, Billy Laughman, Cody Phillips, and Tim McClelland completing the top five.

Kyle Lloyd, Kenny Edkin, Angela Caruso, Scott Rogers, and Nik Gower rounded out the top ten.

Ertter and Gower were heat race winners.

In a race much like the 270cc micro sprint feature, outside polesitter Jan Luckenbaugh took the initial race lead and looked unstoppable when the half-way sign was given. Unfortunately for Luckenbaugh, something went amiss in his car, giving the race lead to Brad Weber. Weber, who had raced for several years in the 270cc micros, was finally given his chance to battle his was to victory lane.

Micro sprint veteran Jimmy Brookens didn’t make it easy though. Brookens went to the inside of Weber several times, but several double car cautions kept him behind the race leader. Brookens was given one final chance with two laps to go, but with Weber powering through the turns, Brookens settled for a runner-up finish.

Brent Marks made a late race pass on Sneeringer to take third and fourth with Tim Dietz rounding out the top five.

Robbie Kendall, Brian Racine, Tim Glatfelter, Josh Schrum, and Keith Ford completed the top ten.

Luckenbaugh and Schrum were heat winners.

Fred Krickbaum was the victor in the 15-lap Les Coghill Memorial race. Krickbaum made the race winning pass on polesitter Tom Swanger on the second lap. Krickbaum held the lead for the remaining 14 laps, taking the checkered flag and establishing a new 15-lap track record of 4 minutes, 38.66 seconds.

Swanger finished the night in second followed by Paul Bacchus, Richard Pastor, and Larry Felty completing the top five.

In 4 cylinder starlite oval racing, Terry Hartlaub picked up the feature win. In the 6 cylinder starlite oval feature, Wes McDaniel took the checkered flag. Both scramble car features were postponed due to track conditions and will be made up next week (8/30/08).

Next Friday (8/29), Trail-Way hosts the Hoosier Tires 358 sprint cars along with the RMP Thundercars, and the limited stocks in a program which begins at 7:30 p.m. with gates opening at 5:30 p.m.

BILLY DIETRICH CLAIMS FIRST WIN SINCE SEASON OPENER IN TRAIL-WAY "358" SPRINTS;

WILL WALLS WINS THIRD IN RMP THUNDERCARS; CHAD WEAVER TAKES THIRD IN LIMITED STOCKS

HANOVER, PA, 8/22/08-It was an eventful night for race winner Billy Dietrich in the "358" sprint feature at Trail-Way Speedway Friday night.

The older of the Dietrich brothers started seventh and was running fourth when the first of two red flags came out for the flipping sprinter of Joe Trone, Jr. on the backstretch of lap three. Trone turned it over exiting turn two and was uninjured.

Dietrich then raced wheel-to-wheel with fourth-starting Kyle Moody for three laps before making the pass into third on lap six.

All the while, outside front row starter Doug Hammaker was leading from the drop of the initial race green. Dietrich caught polesitter Nick Palmerino for second on lap eight. Over the next three laps, Dietrich closed on the leader.

On lap 12, Dietrich made an unusual pass for the lead when Hammaker’s car got sideways in the second turn and Dietrich was forced to the inside of the infield tire to keep control. Without lifting, the Racer’s Used Parts Warehouse #8D powered into the lead. The younger of the racing Hammakers recovered to hold onto second.

Just a half-lap later, third-place Palmerino flipped from the front stretch into the infield, bringing out the second red flag of the race. That’s when Dale Hammaker entered the picture.

As Dietrich was leading the next six laps, 10th-starting Dale Hammaker was disposing of Danny Dietrich, Moody, and finally his son to claim second. Hammaker then drove hard into turn one to take the lead on lap 18, forcing Dietrich to check up and lose valuable ground. The driver affectionately known as the "Godfather of the 358’s" appeared to be on his way to the win when the caution came out for a slowing Nicole Bower on the backstretch of lap 21. That’s when disaster struck.

Hammaker lost a rear end on the restart, and pulled into the infield on the restart, handing the lead back to Dietrich, who was actually running with a broken "W" link caused by one of the earlier brake checks.

"We got lucky, really," said Dietrich in victory lane, "I don’t know what happened to Dale, and I was happy running for second. But we've had our share of bad luck, too, so I’ll take it."

Shortly after Hammaker dropped from the field, four-time winner Brad McClelland also went to the infield under green.

Moody assumed second when Hammaker dropped out, and finished there for his best-ever Trail-Way "358" run. DS Diversified Services hard charger Jeff Rohrbaugh maintained his Trail-Way points lead by coming from 13th to third at the finish, with 12th-starting Davie Franek and Doug Hammaker completing the top five. The fifth-place finish was also Hammaker’s best ever Trail-Way run.

Sixth through tenth wree Danny Dietrich, Tim Wagaman, Austin Reed, Randy Davis, Jr., and 20th-starting Jessie Morrison.

Heats for the 30 "358" sprinters were won by Doug Hammaker, Danny Dietrich, Palmerino, and McClelland.

Will Walls made it six in-a-row for the Walls brothers in the 20-lap RMP thundercar feature.

Walls started fourth and passed one car each lap to grab the lead from polesitter Justin Bittle on lap three. From there, he drove to his third win of the year. Justin Mong, 15th-starting Brad Shank, Allen Cullum, and 11th-starting Barry Rinehart completed the top five.

Brother Brian Walls and Sam Gallagher both went to the pits during a 19th-lap caution. Gallagher, who started seventh, was battling for the lead with Walls from laps 11 through 18 before heading to the pits with a flat tire. He returned to the racing surface and finished eighth. The younger Walls had advanced from ninth to third before dropping out.

Heats for the 17 thundercars were won by Brian Walls and Sam Gallagher.

Chad Weaver started on the outside of the front row and led every lap in the 12-lap limited stock feature. It was his second win in-a-row and third victory of the season. Robert Nicklow and Robert Rudisill crossed second and third.

Heats for the 20 limited stocks were won by Weaver and Terry Hartlaub.

Tomorrow (8/23), Trail-Way swings back with the 270cc and 600cc winged micro sprints. Also in action will be the vintage cars for LES Coghill night. Racing begins at 6:30 p.m., with the gates opening at 4:30 p.m.

Next Friday (8/29), Trail-Way will host the 358 Sprint cars, RMP Thundercars and the limited stock cars in a program which begins at 7:30 p.m. with the gates opening at 5:30 p.m.

Saturday (8/30) is yet another exciting night of racing at Trail-Way with the junk cars, figure 8’s, powder puffs and the scramble cars. Gates for this show open at 3:30 with racing set to begin at 6:00.

JOSH SCHRUM CLAIMS 1ST CAREER 600cc MICRO SPRINT WIN

NIK GOWER RACES TO 14TH CAREER VICTORY

Hanover, PA (8/16/08) – Underdog Josh Schrum started the night in a very familiar position, the pole. Being the first year of 600cc micro sprint racing for Schrum, inexperience got the best of him throughout the beginning of the season, until tonight.

Schrum hit all of his marks with micro sprint veterans Isaac Sneeringer, Tim Dietz, and Jimmy Brookens on his rear bumper the entire race. Sneeringer applied pressure to Schrum in the early laps of the race, but Schrum maintained his position, running on the low side of the track.

As Sneeringer attempted to go to the low side of Schrum, a charging Dietz pulled side by side with Sneeringer giving Schrum a little breathing room.

Dietz took over the runner up spot but only for two laps as Sneeringer reclaimed the second position after a caution brought out by Duane Harbaugh.

Sneeringer again tried to apply pressure to Schrum, but time ran out as the checkered flag flew with only 19 laps completed. Trail-Way Speedway micro sprint rules state that only eight cautions are allowed during the 20-lap features. Schrum held a several car length lead coming to the white flag, but a spinning Rodney Glass brought out the eighth and final caution, giving Schrum his first career micro sprint win.

Following Schrum across the line was Sneeringer, Brookens who made a late race pass on Dietz who finished fourth, and Brian Racine completed the top five.

Brent Marks, Jan Luckenbaugh, Brad Weber, Robbie Kendall, and Dwayne Gutshall rounded out the top ten.

Nik Gower was the first 270cc micro sprint driver to pick up his second feature win of the 2008 racing season. Coming into tonight’s racing action, 13 different drivers claimed the 13 different wins this season at Trail-Way. Eric Heath made it look like it might be 14, but with only four laps completed, a seventh starting Gower took over the lead and never looked back.

Gower maintained the lead over the final 15 laps, giving him his 14th career win and sole ownership of the fifth place spot in all time wins.

Following Gower across the line was Sean McAndrew, Steve Whary, Billy Laughman, and Jim Still. Ryan McAndrew, David Holbrook, Steve Cox, and Levi Peck completed the top ten.

Ryan Greth picked up his second 1000cc Sidewinder win of 2008 at Trail-Way Speedway. Greth took the race lead from polesitter Jim Campbell Jr. on the fourth lap, holding off Jeremy Lynch and Shawn Seifert to take the win.

Greth, Lynch, and Seifert finished one-two-three, with Jimmy Puckett and points leader Tim Mertz completing the top five.

Scramble car racing saw Heath Gilliland and Chase Eckert pick up feature wins. Joseph Flanary nabbed the 4 cylinder oval feature win and Wes McDaniel got the 6 cylinder feature win.

Next Friday (8/22), Trail-Way hosts the Hoosier Tires 358 sprint cars along with the RMP Thundercars, and the limited stocks in a program which begins at 7:30 p.m. with gates opening at 5:30 p.m.

JOE TRONE, JR. SCORES FIRST CAREER 358 SPRINT CAR FEATURE WIN AT TRAIL-WAY;

BRIAN WALLS BACK IN VICTORY LANE IN RMP THUNDERCARS;

CHAD WEAVER WINS SECOND IN LIMITED STOCKS

Hanover, PA (8/15/08) – He’s been in victory lane before at Trail-Way Speedway. But not in a “358” sprint car.

Former micro-sprint racer Joe Trone, Jr. held off the challenges of two-time defending track champ Jeff Rohrbaugh to claim his first career “358” sprint car win in the 25-lap feature at Trail-Way Friday night.

“I saw the 7v come on the scoreboard and thought to myself, ‘Don’t tell me…’,” said a jubilant Trone upon exiting his Champion Chevrolet/Pancho’s Racing Products #99 in victory lane, “I thought if I hit my marks I’d be okay. But then I started getting loose and tried to stay on the bottom because I know Jeff likes to run there.”

The strategy worked. Trone stayed in front of the Roy Vincent Racing sprinter through lapped traffic over the last five laps.

Trone started sixth and was running fourth when the first caution of the race came out for another micro-sprint graduate, Kyle Moody, who spun while running third in turn four of lap four. Leader Nick Palmerino was sent to the pits to remove a flapping side panel during the caution, advancing Trone to second for the restart.

Trone then chased outside front row starter Rick Horn for the next six laps until the second caution of the race came out for a spinning Steve Owings in turns three and four. Trone drove around Horn for the race lead in turns three and four of the 10th-lap restart. Five laps later, 11th-starting Rohrbaugh took second from Dale Hammaker. Trone, Rohrbaugh, and Hammaker ran first-through-third for the final 12 laps, with Danny Dietrich getting by Davie Franek for fourth on lap 23. Franek was piloting the Roger McKeehan #4R in that car’s first-ever visit to Trail-Way Speedway.

“Mom and Dad give up a lot so I can come out and have fun,” said Trone, “I want to thank them for all their support.”

Sixth through tenth were DS Diversified Services hard charger Austin Reed (who started 22nd), Darren Schott, 24th-starting Jessie Morrison, Brad McClelland (who came from the back after a 12th-lap crash), and Colt White.

Heats for the 31 “358” sprinters were won by Horn, Dale Hammaker, McClelland, and Rohrbaugh.

The consolation event was won by White.

Brian Walls came from fifth starting spot to drive around Todd Miller on the front stretch to complete lap 17 and raced to victory in the 20-lap RMP thundercar feature.

Walls received heavy pressure over the last three laps from Miller and third-place finisher Sam Gallagher, but hung on for his fourth Trail-Way win of the year.

Points leader Rick Weaver and one-time winner Brad Shank rounded out the top five.

Heats for the 13 thundercars were won by Will Walls and Gallagher.

Will Walls, who set track records in both 8-lap and 20-lap events over the past two weeks, dropped from the field on lap 10.

Chad Weaver started third and led every lap in the 12-lap limited stock feature. Robert Nicklow came from eighth to finish second, with fourth-starting Tyler Gastley completing the top three.

Heats for the 25 limited stocks were won by Mark Reece, Weaver, and Terry Hartlaub. Brad Kress won the consolation event, and then hopped into the Joe Flanary #28 to run the feature. He started 20th and finished fourth.

It was the first time the limited stocks ran qualifying events, and Reece established a five-lap track record in the first heat with a time of one minute, 46.10 seconds.

Tomorrow night (8/16), Trail-Way swings back into action with the 270cc and 600cc winged micro sprints. Also in action will be the 1000cc Sidewinder Sprints, Scrambles, and Starlite Ovals. Gates open at 4:30 p.m., with the first green flag scheduled for 6:30 p.m.

Next Friday (8/22), Trail-Way hosts the Hoosier Tires 358 sprint cars along with the RMP Thundercars, and the limited stocks in a program which begins at 7:30 p.m. with gates opening at 5:30 p.m.

270cc and 600cc winged micro sprints return to Trail-Way on Saturday, August 23rd, with the Vintage Cars scheduled to make an appearance as well for the Les Coghill Memorial. Also on that card will be the scramble cars and starlite ovals. Gates and racing are at 4:30 and 6:30 p.m., respectively.

ROHRBAUGH WINS NIGHT ONE OF TRAIL-WAY/LINCOLN SHOOTOUT;

WILL WALLS CLAIMS SECOND STRAIGHT IN RMP THUNDERCARS;

KRESS TAKES LIMITED STOCKS

Hanover, PA (8/8/08) –Night number one of the Trail-Way/Lincoln “358” sprint car “Shootout” went to two-time defending Trail-Way track champ Jeff Rohrbaugh on Friday night.

And the Trail-Way point leader did it in unusual fashion, driving around the outside of race-long leader Danny Dietrich to grab the lead entering turn one of lap 13.

“I was a little wound up on the start there,” said Rohrbaugh upon exiting his Roy Vincent Racing Don Beard’s Racing Engines/L&R Auto Body #7V in victory lane, “Normally the guy on the pole sets the pace for the start of the race. Danny had my lane so I had to make my move on the outside.”

A 12-car redraw for the start of the feature put Rohrbaugh on the pole for the feature, but it was the younger Dietrich brother who grabbed the lead at the start. It wasn’t until lap 13 that Rohrbaugh was able set up for the race-winning pass.

From there, things went downhill fast for Dietrich and the four cars behind him. As the leaders were racing through lapped traffic on lap 15, Zach Euculano got sideways in turn two, collecting Dietrich, who rolled onto his side, bringing out the red. Also involved in the crash were third-place Joe Trone, Jr. fourth-place Brad McClelland, fifth-place Dale Hammaker, and sixth-place Kyle Moody.

Dietrich and Euculano were both done for the night, and McClelland went to the pits during the red to make repairs. The others went to the rear, with Hammaker dropping out on lap 19 and Trone taking it in on lap 22.

DS Diversified Services hard charger Brian Eichelberger, who started 13th, squeezed through the crash scene while running seventh at the time, and assumed second for the restart. He ran there the rest of the way, with Tim Wagaman, Randy Whisler, and Nathan Berwager running third through fifth the rest of the way.

Sixth through tenth were Colt White, Jessie Morrison, McClelland, Mike Duncan, and Billy Heltzel, Jr.

“It is what it is,” said Rohrbaugh when asked about padding his points lead, “I’m not a big points racer. You make as much to win races as a title. Wins take care of the points.”

The win moved Rohrbaugh into a tie with McClelland on the all-time Trail-Way 358 sprint win list. Both drivers top the charts at 16.

It also gave Rohrbaugh a leg up in the Trail-Way/Lincoln “Shootout,” which is sponsored by York Floor Racing, DS Diversified Services, Hoosier Tire Mid-Atlantic, Insinger Racing Fuels, Don Ott Racing Engines, and Delco Signs. The “Shootout” pays bonus money to the ten drivers with the best combined two-night finishes at Trail-Way and Lincoln.

Heats for the 25 “358” sprints were won by McClelland, White, and Danny Dietrich. Randy Davis, Jr. won the consolation event.

It was another record-setting night for Will Walls in the RMP thundercars. After breaking the 20-lap track record last week, Walls set a new 8-lap track record in his heat before winning his second straight feature event.

Walls started eighth and took the lead from third-starting Justin Mong on lap eight. Mong had led since grabbing the top spot from Brad Shank on lap four.

Once out front, Walls dominated the rest of the way, with points leader Rick Weaver holding off Brian Walls for second. Todd Miller and Mong completed the top five.

Walls’ 8-lap heat win was timed in 2 minutes, 28.50 seconds. The other heat winner was brother Brian.

Brad Kress claimed the 12-lap limited stock feature, his division-leading 15th career win.

He started fourth and took the lead from Shawn Crunkilton on lap two. Dillon Keim crossed second, with Mark Reece third.

Tomorrow night (8/9), Trail-Way swings back into action with the 270cc and 600cc winged micro sprints. Also in action will be the All-American Outlaws, Scrambles, and Starlite Ovals. Gates open at 4:30 p.m., with the first green flag scheduled for 6:30 p.m.

Next Friday (8/15), Trail-Way hosts the first night of the Hoosier Tires 358 sprint cars along with the RMP Thundercars, and the limited stocks in a program which begins at 7:30 p.m. with gates opening at 5:30 p.m.

BROTHERS DIETRICH ONE-TWO IN TRAIL-WAY “358” SPRINTS;

BROTHERS WALLS ONE-TWO IN THUNDERCARS; FLANARY BY INCHES IN LIMITED STOCKS

Hanover, PA (8/1/08) –Brotherly love was rampant Friday night at Trail-Way Speedway.

Danny Dietrich was the class of the field in the “358” sprint cars, dominating the 25-lap feature after starting sixth and taking the lead from outside front row starter and race-long leader Billy Heltzel, Jr.

It was the younger Dietrich’s first Trail-Way win of the year.

“These were great conditions,” said Dietrich upon exiting the Racers Used Parts Warehouse/Shellehamer Hay & Straw/Hoosier Tire Mid-Atlantic #88, “When you make the track two grooves, it makes for great racing.”

Facing rough track conditions, the Trail-Way track crew took the necessary 45 minutes to grade the track.

Dietrich was quick to praise the surface in victory lane. He also had kind words for Trail-Way’s young drivers.

“I need to credit the new drivers for holding their line. They’re really improving.”

Danny’s brother Billy came on late to challenge, grabbed second from fourth-starting Darren Schott on lap 16 and then closing onto Danny’s back bumper following a 23rd-lap caution.

“I saw Bill’s car number come on the board, and I knew I had to hit my marks,” said Dietrich after scoring his third career win at the famed one-third mile oval on the farm.

The brothers Dietrich raced wheel-to-wheel through the turns over the final three laps, but Billy was never able set up to make a race-winning pass.

Point leader Jeff Rohrbaugh came from ninth-starting spot to finish third, with Steve Owings fourth and Brad McClelland completing the top five. Sixth through tenth were Dale Hammaker, Schott, Randy Whisler, Heltzel, and Jessie Morrison.

Heats for the 26 “358” sprint cars on hand were won by Whisler, Rohrbaugh, and Dale Hammaker.

Will Walls knocked 17 seconds off the track record in winning his career first in the 20-lap RMP thundercar feature, crossing under the checkered flag in 6 minutes, 13.14 seconds. That was more than a quarter-lap ahead of runner-up Brian Walls, who was celebrating his 18th birthday.

Third through fifth in the non-stop event were Todd Miller, points leader Rick Weaver, and Bobby Beard, who was piloting the Jimmy Walker #11.

Heats for the 11 thundercars were won by the Walls brothers.

Joseph Flanary edged Terry Hartlaub by mere inches to score the win in the 12-lap limited stock feature.

Flanary never led until the finish, with Hartlaub scored the leader of the first 11 laps.

Tomorrow night (8/2), Trail-Way swings back into action with the 270cc and 600cc winged micro sprints. Also in action will be the Sidewinders, Scrambles, and Starlite Ovals. Gates open at 4:30 p.m., with the first green flag scheduled for 6:30 p.m.

Next Friday (8/8), Trail-Way hosts the first night of the Trail-Way Speedway/Lincoln Speedway 358 Shootout along with the RMP Thundercars, and the limited stocks in a program which begins at 7:30 p.m. with gates opening at 5:30 p.m.

270cc and 600cc winged micro sprints return to Trail-Way on Saturday, August 9th, with the All-American Outlaws scheduled to make an appearance as well. Also on that card will be the scramble cars and starlite ovals. Gates and racing are at 4:30 and 6:30 p.m., respectively.

JAN LUCKENBAUGH SOARS TO 1st 600cc MICRO WIN OF 2008

JIM STILL BECOMES 12th DIFFERENT WINNER IN 270cc DIVISON

Hanover, PA (7/26/08) – After two consecutive weeks of Isaac Sneeringer topping the 600cc micro sprint charts, Jan Luckenbaugh gave him a run for his money, nabbing his first 20-lap feature win of 2008 at Trail-Way Speedway.

Polesitter Eddie Rice held the lead from the drop of the green until the sixth lap when third starting Luckenbaugh made an inside pass to take the lead.

Luckenbaugh maintained the race lead throughout several cautions, each time putting Sneeringer directly behind him, ready to make on move on each of the starts. Luckenbaugh continued to hold the bottom of the track on the restarts, shutting the door on Sneeringer each time.

With four laps to go, not only was Sneeringer ready to pounce on race leader Luckenbaugh, but Rice, Jimmy Brookens, and Robbie Kendall were also ready to take advantage of any mistakes from the leaders in the closing laps.

Luckenbaugh again got a good restart and held the race lead to take the checkered flag.

Following Luckenbaugh across the line was Sneeringer in second, Kendall in third, Brookens in fourth, and Brian Racine rounding out the top five.

Jake Murphy, Joe Robertson, Kevin Steele, Brad Weber, and Rice completed the top ten.

Jim Still became the 12th different feature winner in 12 races Saurday night at Trail-Way. Still stole the race lead away from Steven Cox at the half way mark and never looked back.

Cox held onto the runner up spot until 2 laps to go, when he brought out the red flag after flipping in turn four.

Still held the lead on the restart, holding off late race charges from Billy Laughman and Steve Whary.

Following Still across the line was Whary, Laughman, Cody Phillips, and Ryan McAndrew completing the top five.

Sean McAndrew, Nik Gower, Mike Boyer, Jim Myers, and David Holbrook rounded out the top ten.

Jason Rochelle picked up the Central Pennsylvania Legends feature win, Saturday night. Rochelle took the race lead away from Greg Burd on the 14th lap, and sailed away to yet another victory at Trail-Way, this time in randy Kissinger’s #148.

Following Rochelle across the line was, Burd, Geremey Sheaffer, Frank Polimeda, and Lucas Montgomery rounding out the top five.

Wes McDaniel grabbed yet another 4 cylinder starlite oval feature win, as Brad Kress took the 6 cylinder oval feature win. Robert Nicklow and Dale Sheeler both picked up scramble car wins.

Next Friday (8/1), Trail-Way will host the 358 Sprint cars, RMP Thundercars and the limited stock cars in a program which begins at 7:30 p.m. with the gates opening at 5:30 p.m.

Saturday (8/2) is yet another ARCH night at Trail-Way with the 270cc and 600cc winged micro sprints. Also on the card for ARCH night will be the Sidewinders, Scrambles and Starlite Ovals. Gates for this show open at 4:30 with racing set to begin at 6:30.

OWINGS HOLDS OFF ROHRBAUGH FOR FIRST CAREER TRAIL-WAY "358" SPRINT WIN;

BRIAN WALLS CLAIMS THIRD OF SEASON IN THUNDERCARS;

WES McDANIEL WINS FIRST SINCE OPENING NIGHT IN LIMITED STOCKS


HANOVER, PA, 7/25/08-For only the second time this year, someone other than Brad McClelland or Jeff Rohrbaugh has won a "358" sprint car feature at Trail-Way Speedway.

And Friday night’s win was a special one for Westminster, MD’s Steve Owings. After 29 career Trail-Way 270cc micro-sprint wins, Owings stood in victory lane for the first time after a "358" sprint car race.

"Starting spot was everything," said Owings upon exiting his Westminster Lawn/CJ Miller/Baugher’s Farm Market/Valentine Motorsports #35 in victory lane, "It took this rusty ole’ guy a couple of laps to get in the groove on those restarts."

Owings didn’t look rusty. He started sixth and was running third when the first caution came out for a spinning Mike Bittinger in turn three of lap three. Lady driver Jessie Morrison led from the outside of the front row until the caution, and then paced the field one more lap under green before giving way to fourth-starting Randy Whisler.

Owings caught Morrison for second on lap eight, and took the lead when Whisler got out of shape and drove into the infield as the leaders were crossing the flag stand to complete lap ten. Also getting by Whisler was a charging Jeff Rohrbaugh, who started 11th.

Owings led the rest of the way, but had heavy pressure from the Trail-Way points leader the entire second half of the race. Owings’ low-side moves through the turns kept Rohrbaugh at bay, while 10th starting Dale Hammaker and DS Diversified Services hard charger Brad McClelland (who started 14th) worked their way through the field into third and fourth. Those four ran virtually nose-to-tail for the last nine green flag laps. Opening night winner Billy Dietrich started ninth and finished fifth.

Sixth through tenth were Whisler, Danny Deitrich, Morrison, Mike Duncan, and Darren Schott.

Heats for the 22 "358" sprint cars were won by Joe Trone, Jr., Danny Dietrich, and Rohrbaugh.

Brian Walls came back from a flat tire pit stop to claim his third win of the year in the 20-lap RMP thundercar feature.

Walls suffered a flat when he and Todd Miller were boxed in and made contact with each other on the initial start. Both drivers, along with Brad Shank, all went to the pits to make tire changes during the first caution on lap three. A follow-up caution on the subsequent restart gave all three drivers a chance to tag the rear on the lead lap.

Walls came from the back to take the lead from Allen Cullum exiting turn four of lap 18, and was scored the leader the final three laps. Cullum settled for second, with Rick Weaver third. Todd Miller came back to cross fourth, with David Haught completing the top five.

Heats for the 11 thundercars were won by Brian Walls and Dan Furman.

Wes McDaniel scored his first win since opening night in the 12-lap limited stock feature. He started third and took the lead from Mark Reece on lap eight. Reece faded to ninth at the finish, with 13th-starting Shannon Weaver second and ninth-starting Joseph Flanary third.

Tomorrow (7/26), Trail-Way swings back with the 270cc and 600cc winged micro sprints. Also in action will be the Central PA INEX Legends, Scrambles, and Starlite Ovals. Racing begins at 6:30 p.m., with the gates opening at 4:30 p.m.

ISAAC SNEERINGER MAKES IS 2-IN-A-ROW
SEAN CAMPBELL GRABS A PAIR OF SIDEWINDER VICTORIES

Hanover, PA (7/19/08) – “This is unbelievable!” exclaimed Isaac Sneeringer in victory lane after exiting his DCI Racing #19Z. Sneeringer was able to pass race leader Timmie Barrick on the final lap of the 20-lap feature race to make it back-to-back feature wins in the 600cc micro sprint division.
Polesitter Jon Bakner grabbed the initial race lead and held off Barrick and Sneeringer as a caution came out on the sixth lap due to Josh Schrum slowing in turn four.
Bakner continued to lead on the next start, but this time Barrick, Sneeringer and Jimmy Brookens kept close to his bumper. Two laps later, Barrick was able to make the pass on Bakner for the lead, taking Sneeringer and Brookens with him.
The remaining laps went nonstop, and it looked like Barrick had the win in the bag when Sneeringer made a mistake trying to gain ground on Barrick for the lead. As Sneeringer now had Brookens on his bumper, Barrick was fastly approaching lapped traffic.
Coming to the white flag, Barrick, Sneeringer and Brookens encountered the lapped car of Keith Ford, causing Barrick to slow up. Sneeringer took advantage of the situation while trying to hold off Brookens and drove past both Barrick and Ford for the race win.
Following Sneeringer across the line was Barrick, Brookens, Joe Robertson, and 11th starting Brent Marks completing the top five.
Bakner, David Feeser, Brad Weber, Brian Racine, and Tyler Esh completed the top ten.
Bakner, Tim Dietz, and Jan Luckenbaugh were heat winners. Brian Racine was the consolation race winner.

Sean Campbell picked up two 1000cc Sidewinder feature wins, Saturday night at Trail-Way Speedway. The makeup feature from June 28th saw Campbell taking the lead away from polesitter Denny Landvater on the fourth lap. Campbell was able to hold off the late race charges from Jeremy Lynch to take the first feature win of the night.
Cambell, Lynch, Brent Marks, Ryan Greth, and Arron Spahr completed the top five.
The second feature race was a little more complicated for Campbell. Polesitter Jim Campbell Jr. took the initial race lead, until losing his tire on the second lap, bringing out the first caution of the race. James Shaw took over the top spot and remained there until Campbell fought his way to the front, passing Shaw on the 13th lap and never looked back.
Rounding out the top five was Campbell, Brent Marks, Tim Mertz, Jeremy Lynch, and Shawn Seifert. Ryan Greth, Rohan Beasley, Rick Hench, James Shaw, and Shaw completed the top ten.

Michael “The Hurricane” Ertter picked up his first career 270cc micro sprint win at Trail-Way Speedway. After only 11 starts, Ertter showed off his quickly learned skills by leading all 20 laps of the feature race.
Seventh starting Nik Gower was unable to take the lead away from Ertter, giving him a second place finish, followed by 12th starting Ryan McAndrew in third, ninth starting Jim Still in fourth, and Tim McClelland completing the top five.

In the scramble car division, Steve Hollingsworth and Chase Eckert both picked up wins. Wes McDaniel grabbed the win in the 6 cylinder starlite oval division, and Joseph Flanary got the 4 cylinder starlite oval win.

Next Friday (7/25), Trail-Way hosts the 358 Sprint cars, RMP Thundercars, and the limited stocks in a program which begins at 7:30 p.m. with gates opening at 5:30 p.m.
270cc and 600cc winged micro sprints return to Trail-Way on Saturday, July 26th, with the Central PA Legends scheduled to make an appearance as well. Also on that card will be the scramble cars and starlite ovals. Gates and racing are at 4:30 and 6:30 p.m., respectively.

McCLELLAND ENDS ROHRBAUGH WIN STREAK IN TRAIL-WAY “358” SPRINTS;

RICK WEAVER BY INCHES IN RMP THUNDERCARS;

SHANNON WEAVER TAKES LIMITED STOCKS

Hanover, PA (7/18/08) – When Jeff Rohrbaugh began his four-race Trail-Way win streak, he did so by ending Brad McClelland’s three-race win streak.

On Friday night, McClelland returned the favor.

The Westminster open wheel star started seventh, assumed the lead when Nick Palmerino spun on the back stretch while leading on lap eight, and held off a determined Rohrbaugh over the final 17 laps to score his fourth win of the year at the McSherrystown oval.

The win also moved McClelland past Rohrbaugh on the all-time Trail-Way win list, with a division-leading 16 career “358” sprint car wins.

“It was a little dry tonight, and it was a matter of who got to the front first,” said McClelland upon exiting his B&D Truck Hoist/VMAC #6, “Once the track came to our likin’, it was fast.”

Points leader and ninth-starting Rohrbaugh tried several different lines to catch McClelland between eight caution periods over the final 17 laps, but settled for second, with Mike Bittinger coming from 12th to finish third.

DS Diversified Services hard charger Dale Hammaker advanced from 21st starting spot to cross fourth, with 14th-starting Joe Trone, Jr. fifth. Completing the top ten were 18th-starting Darren Schott, 20th-starting Rick Horn, Colt White, Doug Hammaker, and Amy Ott.

The 14-year-old Ott, a former go-kart champ at Hunterstown Speedway, scored a top ten finish in her first-ever “358” sprint race.

Billy Dietrich, who came from the rear after an early-race spin, was involved in a three-car crash on turn four of lap 24 while running fourth and retired to the pits.

Heats for the 23 “358”sprint cars on hand were won by Billy Dietrich (with Danny Dietrich and Dan Dietrich second and third), McClelland, and Randy Davis, Jr.

Hanover’s Rick Weaver claimed his first career thundercar win by inches over Allen Cullum in a thrilling battle which Weaver never led until the last few feet.

Cullum started fourth and had the lead by the end of the first lap. He paced the field the rest of the way, holding off several challengers, including Joe Racine, Brian Walls, Robert Stough, and then Weaver.

Weaver took second away from Walls on lap seven, and the three leaders battled the rest of the way, with Weaver driving under Cullum off turn four and winning the drag race to the checkered.

Cullum settled for second, with Stough third, Racine fourth, and Brad Shank fifth.

Heats for the 15 thundercars were won by Cullum and Racine.

Shannon Weaver of Littlestown came from 12th starting spot to win the 12-lap limited stock feature.

He took the lead from Robert Nicklow on lap six and led the rest of the way, with Nicklow second and Broc Lawrence third.

Tomorrow night (7/18), Trail-Way swings back into action with the 270cc and 600cc winged micro sprints. Also in action will be the Sidewinders, Scrambles, and Starlite Ovals. Gates open at 4:30 p.m., with the first green flag scheduled for 6:30 p.m.

Next Friday (7/25), Trail-Way hosts the 358 Sprint cars, RMP Thundercars, and the limited stocks in a program which begins at 7:30 p.m. with gates opening at 5:30 p.m.

270cc and 600cc winged micro sprints return to Trail-Way on Saturday, July 26th, with the Central PA Legends scheduled to make an appearance as well. Also on that card will be the scramble cars and starlite ovals. Gates and racing are at 4:30 and 6:30 p.m., respectively.

HANOVER’S ISAAC SNEERINGER GETS 1ST WIN OF 2008

BILLY LAUGHMAN WINS 20-LAP 270cc MICRO SPRINT FEATURE

Hanover, PA (7/12/08) – Local 600cc micro sprint racer Isaac Sneeringer led from the drop of the green until the checkered flag to get his first feature win of the 2008 season.

On the initial green, Sneeringer and sixth starter Tim Glatfelter took the top two spots and never looked back.

“As long as I held the bottom and didn’t screw up, I knew I had it,” Sneeringer exclaimed in victory lane. Glatfeltelter had several chances to challenge Sneeringer for the lead, one of those times on the ninth lap after a red flag involving the #12J of Jeremy Mehring violently flipping on the frontstretch.

With Dwayne Gutshall and Duane Harbaugh in tow, Glatfelter had his hands full and was unable to challenge for the lead. Glatfelter held onto the runner up spot as Jimmy Brookens made his way though the top five into the third position, quickly moving up to Glatfelter’s bumper with only a few laps remaining.

Sneeringer continued to pull several car lengths ahead of the rest of the field, taking the checkered flag. Glatfelter held off Brookens to take second and third. Eleventh starter Gutshall finished the night in fourth followed by twelfth starting Robbie Kendall completing the top five.

Harbaugh, Brent Marks, Jake Murphy, Tim Dietz, and David Feeser rounded out the top ten.

Heat winners for the 30 600cc micro sprints were Tim Glatfelter, Robbie Kendall, and Duane Harbaugh. Brian Racine was the consolation race winner.

Billy Laughman passed race long leader Angela Caruso on the twelfth lap, and ran away from the field to take the checkered flag.

The only car that was any competition for the #2 Rustic Iron Hair/Tanning Salon 270cc micro sprinter was Jim Still who raced his way up to the runner up spot, gaining ground as each lap passed. Unfortunately for Still, time was not on his side as Laughman held the lead long enough to take the win.

Following Laughman and Still across the line were Sean McAndrew, Jim Myers, and eleventh starting Cody Phillips completing the top five.

Caruso, Dave Schreiber, Tim McClelland, Kenny Edkin, and Geoff Gill rounded out the top ten.

Heat winners for the 22 270cc micro sprints were Billy Laughman and Tim McClelland.

In the All-American Outlaws division, Bill Brown Jr. took the lead away from Al Daniels on the twelfth lap and led the remaining laps to take the checkered flag.

Brown held off Brian Diehl who ended the night in the runner up spot followed by Daniels in third, Fred Cullum in fourth and Phillip Alexander completing the top five.

Diehl and Brown Jr. were the heat race winners for the 20 cars in attendance.

Daryl Hanson stole the lead from Daryl Hanson with five laps to go and never looked back to take the checkered flag in the 4 cylinder oval starlite division. In the 6 cylinder starlite oval class, Brad Kress got the win. Steve Hollingworth and Jim Jacobs picked up the scramble car feature wins.

Next Friday (7/18), Trail-Way hosts the 358 Sprint cars, RMP Thundercars, and the limited stocks in a program which begins at 7:30 p.m. with gates opening at 5:30 p.m.

GENE KNAUB CLAIMS THRILLING TRAIL-WAY “358” LATE MODEL FEATURE;

TODD MILLER SCORES FIRST-EVER THUNDERCAR WIN; WEAVER WINS LIMITED STOCKS

Hanover, PA (7/11/08) –Gene Knaub was scored the race leader the first four laps and last three laps to claim the win in a thrilling 25-lap “358” late model feature at Trail-Way Speedway Friday night.

He and Bobby Beard staged a race-long two-car battle for the lead, with Beard scored the leader of laps five through 22. Neither car crossed the line more than a carlength apart the entire way, with Knaub grabbing the race lead from Beard for the final time as the two raced through turns three and four on lap 23.

“That was a great win!” exclaimed the Dover driver after exiting his Superior Homes/Route 30 Seafood/Wintermyer Auto Salvage/Ricke Bros. #1 in victory lane, “He (Beard) beat me in the second feature at Lincoln last week, and the winning pass was really sweet!”

A redraw for the top nine spots saw Knaub start beside Charles Potts on the front row, with Beard starting fourth. Potts was running third behind Knaub and Beard when he spun and brought out the caution on lap four. Armstrong advanced through the field and got by Richwine for third on a 21st-lap restart.

Beard, who set a new 10-lap track record in his heat (2:40.81), settled for second, with ninth-starting Tyler Armstrong third, seventh-starting Scott Richwine fourth, and 11th-starting Bernie Beard fifth. Completing the top ten were Craig Wagaman, Chase Billet, Derrick Zirkle, Travis Mease, and Michael Goodwin.

Knaub’s win gave him the upper hand in the two night Trail-Way/Williams Grove Hoosier Tire Mid-Atlantic “358” late model “Shootout” also sponsored by Frankie’s Used Auto Parts and Miller Racing Parts, with night number two scheduled for Saturday night (7/12).

Heats for the 19th “358” late models were Pat Beard (who set the new track record at 2:44.96), Mease, and Bobby Beard (who broke Pat’s minutes-old record with his ten-lap run).

After wins in the former Trail-Way street stock division, Todd Miller came from sixth starting spot, and then the back of the field after an early-race caution to claim his first career win in the 20-lap RMP thundercar feature.

Miller took the lead from Brad Shank on lap 17, two laps after a second-turn crash took out the second and third-place cars of Dan Furman and Brian Walls. Walls, who led laps 11 through 15, was docked two spots for roughriding in his pass of Furman for the lead on lap 11. On the restart, Walls was disqualified for the crash which took out Furman.

Shank assumed the lead for the restart, but yielded to Miller on lap later. Shank settled for second, with Gary Calimer, Jr. third, Joe Racine fourth, and Allen Cullum fifth.

Heats for the 13 thundercars were won by Walls and Miller.

Chad Weaver took the checkered flag in the 12-lap limited stock feature. Weaver started third and passed polesitter and race-long leader Broc Lawrence on lap five. Lawrence dropped from the field while running second on lap nine, handing the runner-up spot to Daryl Hanson. But Joseph Flanary claimed the runner-up spot with two laps to go, and Hanson settled for third.

Tomorrow night (7/12), Trail-Way swings back into action with the 600 and 270cc winged micro sprints. Also in action will be the All-American Outlaws, Starlite Stocks and Scramble Cars. Gates open at 4:30 p.m., with the first green flag scheduled for 6:30 p.m.

Next Friday (7/18), Trail-Way hosts the 358 Sprint cars, RMP Thundercars, and the limited stocks in a program which begins at 7:30 p.m. with gates opening at 5:30 p.m.

1000cc Sidewinders return to Trail-Way on Saturday, July 19th, with the 600 & 270cc micros scheduled to make an appearance as well. Also on that card will be the scramble cars and the starlite ovals. Gates and racing are at 4:30 and 6:30 p.m., respectively.

JAKE MURPHY REMAINS ON A HOT STREAK

BILL BROWN SR. CLAIMS CLASSIC CAR FEATURE WIN

Hanover, PA (7/1/08) – Jake Murphy made it two in a row, Tuesday night at Trail-Way Speedway. What was scheduled to be the first stop on the 600 speed week schedule, was later postponed to Tuesday (7/1) night due to rain. Murphy, fresh off a win the previous night at Path Valley Speedway, picked up where he left off.

Murphy started on the pole position and led all 25 laps of the Kevin Gobrecht Qualifier/$3,000 to win feature event sponsored by Dry Dock Pub out of Martinsburg, WV.

“My brother told me I had a pretty good lead, so it’s good to know I didn’t get it just from starting on the pole,” Murphy said in victory lane.

Dwayne Gutshall, who started third, jumped directly behind Murphy on the initial start, but was passed by Robert Kendall the following lap. A caution brought out by Brady Bacon on the frontstretch brought the field back together.

With Kendall’s hands full of Gutshall, Murphy was again able to pull away, but only for a lap as a several car pileup including Shane Lewis, Jan Luckenbaugh, Michael Dransfield, and Ryan Frable forced the field together yet again.

On the next start, Gutshall pressured Kendall yet again, giving Murphy breathing room on the start. Murphy pulled his #18, CADD Works Corporation/Easy Does It Vacations micro sprint several car lengths in front of the rest of the field. It wasn’t until the next restart, after another caution brought out by Brad Cox, that Murphy was able to get far enough ahead that he started to work his way through lapped traffic on the 19th lap.

Kendall, Gutshall, Duane Harbaugh, and Scott Sawyer continued to battle for the top five positions, as Murphy sailed through lapped traffic, hitting his marks perfectly.

Murphy continued maneuvering his way through lapped traffic for the remaining six laps, taking the checkered flag. Following Murphy across the line was Kendall, Harbaugh, Sawyer, and Terry Schaeffer completing the top five.

Brent Marks, who started 21st, finished sixth, followed by hard charger Mike Dicely who started the race 24th and finish seventh, with Jimmy Brookens, Tyler Esh, and Ryan Greth rounding out the top ten.

Heat winners for the 86 600cc micros in attendance were Duane Harbaugh, Terry Schaeffer, Dwayne Gutshall, Robert Kendall, Jake Murphy, Scott Sawyer, Brendan Bright, Tim Dietz, Heath Hehnly, and Jimmy Brookens. Ryan Gunnett was the winner of the D Main. Mark Strickler took the checkered flag for the C Main, and Brent Marks won the B Main. Other drivers that qualified through the B Main were Brady Bacon, Tim Glatfelter, Mike Dicely, and Jan Luckenbaugh. Kyle Moody was the top points Trail-Way driver, entering him as the 26th driver in the field.

Classic Car veteran Bill Brown Sr. led the entire 15-lap feature race, Tuesday evening. Brown, who is no stranger to victory lane at Trail-Way Speedway, was pressured by Kevin Palmer and Pete Neal several times throughout the feature.
