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

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

CUNNINGHAM CLAIMS FIRST 600cc FEATURE;
GOWER GLIDES TO VICTORY;
MYERS BROTHERS DOMINATE SIDEWIDERS;
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.

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

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

lap to pick up the win. The feature saw many cautions and
challenges for Salony’s lead by fellow front row starter
Tom Mayberry.
Eighth starting Jason Rochelle gained on Mayberry and challenged
for the second position late in the race, but was unable to
complete a pass. Following Mayberry and Rochelle across the
line were Robert Sobieski and Pat McDermott, completing the
top five.
Lucas Montgomery, Randy Kissinger, and McDermott picked up
the heat wins for the 28 Legends Cars. The consolation event
winner was Scott Spidu.
Bill Laughman claimed his second win in a row in the 270cc
feature event. Laughman passed outside front row starter and
early race leader Eric Heath for the lead on the third lap.
On the following lap, 7th-starting Nik Gower passed Heath
for second and set his sights on Laughman.
Dalton Dietrich brought out the red flag after making contact
with the outside retaining wall coming out of turn two. Dietrich
was uninjured in the accident but returned to the pit area.

but settled for second.
Jim Still, Todd Hoover, and Andy Lucuson completed the top
five. Chris Melton, David Holbrook, Matt Bower, Tyler Snook,
and Heath were sixth through tenth. Heat winners for the 19
270 Micro Sprints were Bill Laughman and Nik Gower.
In the 4 and 6 cyl. Scramble Car feature event, polesitter
Mark Reece grabbed the early lead and never looked back. With
the laps winding down, Ray Hollingsworth closed on Reece but
could not complete the pass for the lead. Mark Reece claimed
the win for the Scramble Cars.
Wayne Blevins had more than a straightaway lead over the
second place driver of Kevin Keith when the only caution of
the event. Blevins held on to the lead and picked up the win
the 6cyl Starlite Oval feature event.
The 4cyl Starlite Oval feature was dominated by polesitter
Brad Kress. Challenges for the lead came late in the race
when twelfth starting Wes McDaniel closed on Kress. In the
4cyl Starlite Oval make-up feature from May 16th, Terry Hartlaub

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

KRESS FILLS IN TO WIN
Hanover, PA (5/30/09) – “Beating a guy like Brookens
makes a win feel like a win,” said two time 600cc feature
winner Brad Weber in victory lane. Eli Schrock took the lead
on the start and held off Skylar Felkner for the first five
laps.
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. Daniels passed fellow
front row starter and race long leader for the lead after
a restart on the third lap. Allen Daniels crossed the line
to pick up the win with Fred Cullum, Tommy Crummitt, Denny
Gross, and Kevin Palmer completing the top five. Heat winners
for the 20 American Outlaws were Allen Daniels and Joe Alder.
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.
In the 4cyl. Starlite Oval Feature, Brad Kress came from
eight starting spot to take the B.K Flanary #28 to victory
lane. Kress got the lead on the third lap and never looked
back. Shannon Weaver finished in a distant second. Steve Hollingsworth
battled from ninth starting spot to pick up his second win
of the evening in the 6cyl. Starlite Oval Feature.
Next Friday (6/5), the 358 Sprint Cars, Thundercars, Extreme

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

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

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.

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

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,

Hanover, PA (4/25/09) – Tyler Walton came from 6th-starting

“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.

Boyer and Daron across the line were Nik Gower, Michael Ertter

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

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

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.

an action packed show on a cool and windy April evening. Despite
the winds, Skylar “Skyman” Felkner came out on
top with is first ever 600 Micro win. In victory lane, Felkner
was still waiting for his win to sink in, but was happy he
held on to the lead.
Felkner started on the pole and grabbed the lead over Tanner
Hunsicker, Tyler Walton and Brian Racine. Felkner was challenged
with lapped traffic before the halfway mark and battled with
Tyler Walton for the lead. Walton passed Felkner going down
the backstretch but Felkner nabbed the lead back in turn four
to hold on to the lead.

over Tim Dietz who had a strong second place finish. Following

and Walton, and Bruce Ginther Jr. picked up the Consolation
event win.
The 270cc Micro feature was dominated by Pete Skias until
the fourth turn of the final lap. After the caution came out

out for Craig Myers’ flip in turns one and two. McAndrew
then had the feature winner from the past two races, Brian
Racine, behind him.

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.

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

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.,

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.
The Junk Car Demolition return to Trail-Way on Saturday,
August 30th, with the Figure 8’s scheduled to make an
appearance as well. Also on that card will be the scramble
cars and powder puff. Gates and racing are at 3:30 and 6:00
p.m., respectively. The raindate for this event will be Sunday,
August 30th, same times.

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.
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.

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

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

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

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.

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.
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

for ARCH night will be the Sidewinders, Scrambles and Starlite
Ovals. Gates for this show open at 4:30 with racing set to

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.
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.

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.
