  GASPER INCREASES HIS LEADS IN THE CALIFORNIA LIGHTNING SERIES AND CIVIL WAR SERIES

  (Torrance, CA, September 28, 2022) In 2021, rookie driver David Gasper made a late-season rush to win the California Lightning Sprint Car Series and Civil War Series titles. In 2022, the Santa Barbara, California racer is starting to pull away from the competition in both series as the season hits the home stretch. Last Saturday at the Bakersfield Speedway, the teenage star scored his series-leading seventh win of the year. 307464292_522045143061459_638481491645823791_n.jpg Seven-time 2022 winner David Gasper (center) poses withrunner-upp Bobby Michnowicz (right) and third-place Jeff Dyer at Bakersfield. CLS photo. A fine field of 24 cars showed up for the fourth of five races in the Civil War Series and the first on CLS's home turf. The fans got an early glimpse of what was going to happen in the main event when the fastest three cars in qualifying - Gasper, Bobby Michnowicz, and Jeff Dyer - later finished in the top three spots in the 25-lap main event. Gasper was the quickest at 13.825. Michnowicz, who lives in Oak Hills, was second fastest at 13.937 and Yucca Valley's Dyer clocked in third at 13.987. Palmdale's Eric Greco, who is second to Gasper in both CLS and Civil War points, captured Extreme Muffler Heat #1 ahead of Glendora rookie Will Browne and Gasper. That was the only time Gasper did not lead all night. BCRA regular Dakota Albright of Waterford, who is getting married this week, won the Yoshimura R & D second heat race by beating Michnowicz and Lakewood's Aiden Lange to the stripe. The third eight lapper, which was sponsored by Jake Swanson Shock Technology, went to BCRA's Greg Dennett. Camarillo's Gage Cheek was second behind the Livermore driver with three-time CLS champion Jarrett Kramer of Spring Valley third. Gasper, in his familiar blue #18 that is sponsored by Kittle Motorsports/Certified Construction/Rattlesnake Ridge/Valley Precision Products/Martin Roofing/B2 Design/Hyper Race Cars/Saldana Race Products #18, sat on the pole for the main event. Indio's James Turnbull, who was making his second start in the potent Mike Schweitzer #41, was alongside. The second row was made up of teammates Kramer and Michnowicz with Dyer and Browne in row three. Gasper got the jump on the field as they came down to take the green flag to start the race. Turnbull got sideways on the front chute and before he could recover had slipped back to sixth. Kramer staffed the second-place spot with Albright third at the end of the first circuit. Things went fast for two laps before a yellow came out on lap three when Chino's Pat Kelly slid to a stop on the front straight. For the restart, it was Gasper, Kramer, Albright, Michnowicz, and Dyer. Gasper got a great restart and put some distance between himself and second-place Kramer. While the field was mostly comprised of bottom feeders, veteran Michnowicz was running the top. That paid big dividends on lap five when he blew by Albright and Kramer in one corner to go from fourth to second. Two laps later the festivities came to a screeching halt again when Citrus Heights driver Scott Kinney slowed on the front straightaway bringing out another yellow flag. The race restarted with 20-laps to go and Michnowicz was planted firmly on Gasper's rear end. Albright was in third, with Kramer in fourth and Dyer in fifth. Gasper and Michnowicz pulled away from the field on the restart and Dyer quickly went from fifth to third. However, he was nearly a half straight behind the lead duo. Michnowicz dove to the inside in turn three on lap seven and nearly pulled off the slider but Gasper was more than equal to that challenge and pulled away. While watching Michnowicz try to catch and pass Gasper was exciting, the best battle on the track featured Dyer, Albright, and Kramer. They were having a literal war for third. However, like earlier, another yellow flag slowed the proceedings on lap 12. By that time, Gasper had a half-straight advantage over Michnowicz and was just about to encounter lapped traffic. This time when the race restarted, Michnowicz threw it hard in turn one and got a great run down the back chute. He dove to the inside in turn three and threw a big slider on Gasper for the lead. However, he carried so much momentum into the corner, he slid to the top coming off four, and got into the fluff. That allowed Gasper to dive underneath and reclaim his lofty position at the head of the pack. The loss of momentum saw Gasper pull away. It also allowed Dyer to dive to the inside of Michnowicz and pull even with him going into turn one on the next go around. Michnowicz, still on the wide line, fought off the advances and maintained second. Gasper had built up a good size lead, but Michnowicz would not give in. He continued to terrorize his right rear tire in an effort to catch back up to the leader. If he was going to have a chance, he was probably going to need a favor from lapped traffic. That scenario began to play out at the start of lap 18 when Gasper caught the first lapper. The lappers all cooperated with the leader and kept it low allowing Gasper to maintain a half-straight lead. While it seemed cut and dried that Gasper was going to snag the win, suddenly Dyer came calling on Michnowicz. He pulled to the inside in turn one on the 24th lap and momentarily poked his nose ahead of the five-time champion. However, Michnowicz got a nice drive off two and fended off his pursuer. It was too late for Michnowicz to take another shot at the leader who carried a half-straight lead all the way to the checkers. Michnowicz placed second with Dyer, Kramer, and Albright rounding out the top five. The Speed Mart/Advanced Racing Suspension/Hepfner Racing Hard Charger award went to Elk Grove's Matt Land who started 21st and finished eighth. With the season quickly dwindling down, Gasper will take a comfortable 80-point lead over Greco in the championship standings when the CLS goes to the Mohave Valley Raceway for a show that is being co-sanctioned by the POWRi Southwest Lightning Sprint Car Series on October 8th. Camarillo's Cody Nigh is third but is only two points ahead of Dyer. Michnowicz rounds out the top five. Browne reclaimed the lead in the Rookie of the Year battle and will lead Fillmore's Connor Speir by 24-points going into the race in the "Copper State." Gasper's chances of winning the "Civil War Series" for the second consecutive year look strong, He will have a 63-point lead heading into the finale at Bakersfield on November 15th.

  Jeremy Wonderling Sweeps the Topless Nationals Weekend at Genesee

  Rich Vleck, BATAVIA, NY, (September 24, 2022)- Sunny conditions and an earlier start on Saturday Afternoon were welcomed sights compared to a chilly Night 1 of the Topless Nationals at Genesee Speedway on Friday. In the end though, it was the same Late Model reigning supreme when the checkered flags waved. Jeremy Wonderling, of Wellsville, led all 30 laps of the RUSH Late Model feature to sweep the weekend in the topless No. 3J. Despite getting out in front on cruising early on, there were moments where his Genesee winning streak was deeply in question. During the opening stretch, Wonderling made contact with a lapped car, allowing Chad Homan to close in running second. On a lap 17 restart, Homan stayed close to the leader and got alongside "Mr. Excitement" to challenge for the lead. "Early on, I knew that I didn't have the tire the way I wanted it and then I saw Homan pull up next to me and I know he's really good on 55s (hard compound tires)," said Wonderling in Victory Lane. "I knew I could take off really good so I just had to hit my marks so he couldn't set up a slide job on me." Once getting back in front of Homan, Wonderling was able to stretch out his distance before reeling lapped cars back in to win for the seventh straight time at Genesee, his 10th win in Batavia in 2022 in what has been a purely dominant year, especially over the second half of the season. As Wonderling was driving off to sweep the weekend, Homan was holding steady for second, his third runner-up finish to Wonderling at Genesee in the last five races. He was pleased with his consistency but knew he was close to picking up his second tour win of the year. Jason Genco was able to drive up to a third place finish for the second consecutive night while Matt Latta logged an impressive fourth place run ahead of quick timer and polesitter Joe Martin, who rounded out the top five. One of the biggest moments of the night came in the Sportsman Feature, as Kyle Richner drove underneath Friday Night's Winner Dave Conant on a lap 17 restart and then fended off the hard-charging Noah Walker over the second half of the race to pocket his first career feature win, as well as the $2,000 top prize. "I don't believe it," exclaimed Richner upon climbing out of his No. 26 on the front stretch. "I had to crowd Dave (Conant) on the restart to take the lead but track position was everything. I just couldn't wait for it to be over." Richner stalked Conant for the opening 13 laps of the feature but on the restart put the power down entering turn one to slide up in front of the No. 44 on a double-file restart. Richner's No. 26 made contact with the front of the leader's car, but he was able to assert himself at the front on a track where passing was at a premium. Walker was solid on the late-race restarts though and took a few bids underneath the leader, none strong enough to get on by, as Richner held on to become the 10th different feature win in 19 Sportsman events at Genesee this year. Walker's runner-up finish was his second in as many nights this weekend while Conant would round out the podium positions in third. Ricky Newton put together a strong showing in fourth while Jim Harbison completed the top five. The Pro Mod Division invaded on Saturday for only the second time this season, and the 18 cars on hand battled hard in the first feature with two veteran duking it out to the checkered flags. Adam Ashcroft, of Sardinia, led all 20 laps to claim the $1,000 top prize, but in the final five laps, he felt the pressure from longtime racer Al Brewer, who redraw the ninth starting spot but used the bottom line to drive up to the runner-up spot and peaked to the inside of the No. 6R for the lead on a lap 16 restart. In the final three laps Ashcroft built back his lead though and was able to run off to the victory over Brewer. Zain Harvey was a solid third in front as Chad Ramsey and Vic Earle Jr. rounded out the top five. Glenn Whritenour swept the weekend in the Street Stock Division, taking the lead from Bill Taylor on lap 10 and then driving off to claim to the $1,000 payday. Whritenour, of Jasper, won his heat but had work to do in the feature after drawing the 10th starting spot. After two early cautions, Whritenour moved up to the second spot on a lap five restart and began to apply pressure to Taylor for the lead. Taylor, the 2022 Division Champion who was driving Brandon Sherwood's No. 87, was a little loose, which allowed Whritenour to pass him on lap 10. After falling to second though, Taylor made some bids to take the lead back from the No. 15 on the bottom but would come up just shy. Whritenour's victory was his third win at Genesee in 2022 in just four attempts. Taylor would cross in second for the second-straight night while Tommy Kemp stayed right with the lead duo to place third. Ian Travis was fourth while polesitter Bobby Lippa Jr. rounded out the top five. The final race of the night was the Mini Stock Feature and the finale did not disappoint as the 15-lap event ran off caution-free and with a pass off the final corner for the win. An eventful opening lap saw champion James Gayton get shuffled back as Eric Weis jumped out in front of the pack. On lap five, Dante Mancuso fell out while running second and handed the spot over to DJ Williams, who began to run down his good buddy Weis. Williams was able to get within three car-lengths in the closing laps but on the final lap Weis' axle broke and allowed Williams to dart on by off the fourth corner to claim the win. Despite the disappointment, Weis was all smiles after the race, even parking his XXX car in Victory Lane and sharing an imbrace in a unique celebration. Rocco Conte ran up to third while Eric Brumsted and Cody Griffin completed the top five. Saturday's event concluded the race schedule for 2022, with all 19 scheduled events being run without interference or cancellation due to precipitation or any other causes.

  Jeremy Wonderling Runs Away to RUSH Tour Win at Genesee's Topless Nationals Opening Night

  Rich Vleck, BATAVIA, NY, (September 23, 2022)- Cool but dry conditions provided a unique racetrack for the competitors on a rare Friday Night event at Genesee Speedway. The chill in the air was matched by the hot battles on the track for the fourth divisions as part of night one of the Fifth Annual Topless Nationals. Jeremy Wonderling had won his last five races at Genesee, but with all of the heavy hitters of the RUSH Late Model Series in Batavia, it was a different challenge for "Mr. Excitement" on Friday Night, one that he would also be successful with. Wonderling, of Wellsville, led all 30 laps of the feature to score his first tour win of the season, his ninth at Genesee. After winning his heat race and running second in the pole dash, Wonderling got the outside pole position for the feature, a preferred position at Genesee, and one he used to his advantage as he quickly jumped in front of the pack at the initial green flag and built a healthy advantage before reaching the tail of the field prior to the first caution flag of the race on lap 12. "After the long green flag runs the car would skate a little bit and I'd get caught in traffic so it fell at a really good point," said Wonderling after the feature. "The car was good for a while and then it would get away but I guess it was good enough." With the final 16 laps of the feature running off caution-free, Wonderling's long green flag run would allow some of his closest competitors to narrow the gap towards the end. Joe Martin, who was the quick timer and also won his heat, cut down Wonderling's advantage from over three seconds to under two seconds with three laps remaining. While that was going on, Jason Genco had charged his way up from the ninth starting position to third and was reeling in the top two with a tighter setup in his racecar to make it a three-car battle for the lead. In the closing laps, Wonderling gained some distance and was able to hold on to claim the $3,000 top prize. Martin finished off a steady run to finish in second after finishing third at Genesee back in May in the first tour event. Genco, a three-time winner on Topless Nationals Weekends, was able to complete the podium and look forward to tomorrow. May's RUSH Winner Chad Homan crossed in fourth while polesitter Breyton Santee rounded out the top five. The Sportsman also had a "hell of a race" for the win as weekly frontrunners Noah Walker and Dave Conant duked it out for the lead from the drop of the initial green flag. Walker, the polesitter, knew he had to flex his muscle to get in front of Conant's No. 44 from the inside and did so on the third attempt at the initial start. Once in front though, Conant applied consistent pressure as it became clear he may have the superior car. After trying to pass for a number of laps on the bottom, "Cadillac" moved up to the high line and started to build up his momentum to move by Walker's No. 22. On lap 19, Conant got a big run and got to the inside of the leader and was able to pass Walker on the high side of turn four to take the lead for good. It was his fourth win of 2022 for the driver who finished third in points this season. Walker's runner-up finish was his best at Genesee since June, while Jim Harbison rounded out the podium. Both Walker and Harbison had to fight hard in their heat race to go from the fourth row to redraw positions. Ryan Barrett recorded another solid run driving up to fourth from the 10th start spot while AJ Custodi rounded out the top five in just his second appearance in Batavia this year. Glenn Whritenour dominated the 25-lap Street Stock Feature to pocket a cool $1,000. Whritenour, of Jasper, took the lead from Dan Schulz on a lap five restart when he dove underneath the leader to slide up in front of him coming off of turn two. Despite making contact with Schulz's No. 66 and crinkling his own right rear quarter-panel, Whritenour was never in jeopardy of losing the lead once taking a stranglehold of it. The middle of the race was mired by yellow flags, but once the final 10 laps ran off without a caution, Bill Taylor, the 2022 Track Champion worked hard to get by Dan Schulz for second. Taylor, who was piloting the Pat Powers No. 53 on the night, was able to complete the pass coming to the white flag to finish second and slotting Schulz back to third. After being involved in the opening caution, Tommy Kemp would drive back up to finish fourth while Dale Rissinger rounded out the top five. The Mini Stocks rounded out the night with a spirted race to the finish. DJ Williams led the opening five laps until slowing to bring out the first caution, which allowed Rocco Conte, the winner of the last two races, to get out in front of the pack. Conte would have his own problems under a caution a lap later, which set up a duel between 2022 Champion James Gayton and two-time champion Dante Mancuso. Mancuso would apply plenty of pressure over the final nine laps and would lean on the No. 10 but was unable to find a way by as Gayton held on for his ninth win of his incredible season. Just behind Gayton and Mancuso was Rocco Conte, who ran down the leaders from the back and would finish a close third. Eric Weis was fourth in his first start of the year at Genesee, as did Cody Griffin, rounded out the top five. The final race of the year will be tomorrow on Saturday September 24 with racing starting early at 7:00 p.m. For more information, visit www.Genesee-Speedway.com.

  Dave DiPietro and Jeremy Wonderling Finish Features First while Phil Vigneri III and Doug Ricotta Are Newly-Minted Genesee Track Champions

  Rich Vleck, BATAVIA, NY, (September 17, 2022)- For the 17th time in 17 attempts, the Genesee Speedway was able to complete a points-paying event without Mother Nature knocking out any race action. Terry Pangrazio Memorial Night was held under perfect weather conditions and had a tabletop smooth surface to go along with it. With it being championship night, some titles were still up for grabs, but the points leader wanted to quell any drama as quickly as possible. The most dramatic championship chase was found in the Sportsman division, where four drivers entered the final points race within 11 points of the top spot and in the hunt for the title. Phil Vigneri III was just one point ahead of two-time and defending champion Cameron Tuttle and knew that every move on the track would be critical. After they both won their heat race, it was clear whomever finished higher in the feature would likely secure the title. The 25-lap Sportsman Feature would run off without incident, enabling polesitter Dave DiPietro to run off to a dominate win in just his third start of the year in Batavia. DiPietro, who was just looking to shake the car down, was able to pull away and win by nearly four seconds in a race that was completed in less than eight minutes. As he drove away for his second win of the year at Genesee, the championship chase was intense behind him. Jim Harbison was able to run up to second early in the feature and would come home in that spot but needed his fellow championship contenders to suffer issues, which did not happen in the clean race. Phil Vigneri III would get up to third, but would find Dave Conant challenging him for the spot in an effort to get back in to the title equation. "When Dave showed the nose underneath me it forced me up the track and honestly that was probably the best thing for me because it showed me the top line and I just stayed there," said Vigneri after the event. "I knew that was the spot to be and I knew he was going to race me clean on the bottom." Vigneri and Conant remained together on the track until the end of the race, where Vigerni's third-place result would be good enough to secure him his first career track championship. "To do it at a place where I grew up pushing cars around behind the grandstand and my dad (Phil Jr, 2001 Sportsman Champion) and Uncle Pat (2004 Sportsman Champion) won at means so much," he noted. "I also have to give a lot of credit to Cam (Tuttle), who made this championship battle so tough and gave me a lot of sleepless nights down the stretch." As Vigneri and his Ray Smith-owned No. 12v crew celebrated the title, it was a disappointment for Tuttle, who finished eighth and would finish 2022 second in points after winning the track title the last two seasons. Tuttle redrew the 7th starting position and slipped back while looking to move up to sixth and got stuck behind a lapped car on two occasions. Noah Walker was able to round out the top five in a race that had the top eight finishers all be feature winners at Genesee this season. The other championship battle that was still in doubt, albeit a little less drama-filled, was in the Late Model division. Doug Ricotta merely had to start the feature to secure his first division title, so once he took the green flag the focus shifted to the front of the pack where some intense racing broke out with the final 24 laps being run under green. Despite starting in seventh, Jeremy Wonderling lived up to his nickname "Mr. Excitement" and charged up through to take the lead from Chad Homan on lap 19 and run off to his eighth win of the year. Wonderling restarted in sixth on lap two, but was able to take over third on lap seven with bold slidejob entering turn three on defending champion Bill Holmes. Four laps later, Wonderling made a similar maneuver on runner-up JJ Mazur and would set his sights on Chad Homan out front who was holding a healthy lead at the time. In short order, the No. 3J was able to reel in the No. 91 by running the outside groove and after a couple of laps set up a slidejob similar to his passes for 3rd and 2nd to get out in front in lap 19. "I knew the top was the place to be and I was just trying to build up enough momentum to dive in deep enough so that I could make sure to clear them," noted Wonderling on the frontstretch afterwards. "I had to backpedal after throwing it in there a few times and (Homan) tried to cross back under me but we had just enough momentum to get in front." The win was Wonderling's fifth-straight win when pulling in to the Genesee County Fairgrounds. This was his first win in that stretch where he did not win his heat or qualify for the redraw. Homan would settle for second, as the three-time winner in 2022 carded his fourth-consecutive top five at Genesee. Three-time champion JJ Mazur finished in third while Jimmy Johnson drove up from his 10th starting position to finish in fourth. Bill Holmes rounded out the top five. Ricotta would secure his championship with a sixth-place effort. Sometimes it is more rewarding to be lucky than the best, and that was the case for Dennis Cummings as he was the beneficiary of Byron Dewitt's mechanical failure to get in front to win the Street Stock Feature. Cummings, of Wellsville, took the lead on a lap four restart but would hand the top spot over to Byron Dewitt on lap 11 when Dewitt executed a tight slidejob in turns one and two. Dewitt appeared destined to cruise off to the win by but on lap 14 he darted his No. 87H in to the infield with an apparent mechanical issue, which allowed Cummings to reassume the lead for good. Cummings would survive a myriad of late-race restarts for his third win of the year in just his sixth start at Genesee in 2022. Simon Bissell led the opening three laps, but after falling back would work his way back up to second. Bill Taylor officially secured his third division championship with a third-place effort using a borrowed ride. Zach Walsh made a triumphant return to Genesee with a strong drive up to fourth while Brandon Sherwood rallied from an early flat tire to round out the top five. Two weeks ago, Rocco Conte won his first Mini Stock Feature in two decades and noted in Victory Lane that when he saw point leader James Gayton in the infield he knew it was a good opportunity for him to win; well on Saturday he had Gayton's No. 10 on his bumper over the entire second half of the race but still got the result he wanted as he once again earned the feature victory. Conte took the lead from Brandon Shepard on lap six as he and Gayton made it three-wide underneath the leader off of turn four to take the lead. A caution shortly after would put Conte's No. 717jr in front for the restart and find Gayton nipping at his rear bumper the rest of the race. Gayton would give multiple bids for the lead but Conte would prevail. Gayton's second place effort would officially garner him his first career track championship off the strength of his eight feature wins this season. Brandon Shepard ran a solid third while Eric Brumsted and Tom Knapp completed the top five. Andrew Joy took the lead on the second lap of the Novice Sportsman Feature and then with tacky track conditions stayed in the throttle to drive away to his second win of the season. In only his third appearance of 2022, Joy showed his strength getting by Casey Jonathan on a restart and then using the top line to put distance over Jonathan, as well as 2022 Division Champion Allison Dewitt. Dewitt was able to win her heat and finish in second while Jonathan rounded out the podium in third. Seth Johnson captured his 11th win of the season to claim the Bandit Championship in style, winning his heat and leading all 10 laps of the feature in dominating fashion. The 13-year-old from Castile was able to win the final four races of the season. There was a spirited battle back to the finish for second with Jonathan Logsdon holding off a hard-charging Nicholas Lipome for second with Joey Swick a close fourth. With the points races now complete, the focus now shifts to the Topless Crate Nationals this Friday and Saturday Night featuring the RUSH Late Model Tour, Sportsman and Street Stocks on both nights along with the Mini Stocks (Friday) and Pro Mods (Saturday) joining in on the fun.

  Jeremy Wonderling Keeps Winning at Genesee While Brett Senek Soars in First Appearance of 2022

  Rich Vleck, BATAVIA, NY, (September 3, 2022)- A great weather night and a terrific racing surface allowed for stories to unfold in all sorts of ways on Saturday Night at Genesee Speedway. At the end of the night, one driver flexed his muscles once again to reaffirm his dominance. Jeremy Wonderling, of Wellsville, walked away from the Late Model field to win his seventh feature victory of the season. "Mr. Excitement" took the lead from Jimmy Johnson a lap after the event's only restart on lap eight and then drove off for his fourth-straight win when invading Batavia. "I knew Jimmy (Johnson) was going to be tough to get by as he was up on the top but he ran me clean and I appreciate that," stated Wonderling in Victory Lane. "The car was really good tonight; I could put it anywhere I needed to." Wonderling was able to score the win by nearly four seconds over Johnson, who tallied his third runner-up finish of the year. Chad Homan challenged Johnson throughout the night and would settle for third. Bill Holmes crossed in fourth while point leader Doug Ricotta rounded out the top five to put himself in prime position to lock up the division title in two weeks. Brett Senek admitted that he got a good bit of luck when he pulled the outside pole position for the Sportsman Feature, but regardless of luck he was the class of the field on Saturday Night as he dominated the 25-lap feature in his first appearance of the year at Genesee. Senek was never challenged as he rode the top line to perfection to become the ninth different feature win in the ultra-competitive division this season. As the No. 111 was cruising to the win, the incredible points battle was playing out behind him with incredible drama. Phil Vigneri III came in to the night with a five-point lead, but during the feature had fallen as far back as 10th, which had provisionally handed over the point lead to defending champion Cam Tuttle, who had run up to third. On lap 22, Jim Harbison, who was just a point back of Tuttle and running in fifth, came together with Brandon Michaud and the two became hooked together and had to stop in turn four. That would allow Vigneri to get up to eighth and then on the final circuit he got back around Jacob Bansmer to finish the race just one point ahead of Tuttle, who finished third, heading in to the final points race in two weeks. Kyle Richner had a quiet but impressive second place showing for his best finish of the year, holding off Tuttle at the line. Ryan Barrett put together another strong run, finishing in fourth for his third top five in the last four starts. Noah Walker ran up to round out the top five. Byron Dewitt made a sweetheart move on lap nine of the Street Stock Feature to steal the lead away from Mike Kelly and ran off to claim his third feature win of the year. Dewitt, of LeRoy, chased Kelly for the opening eight laps and kept peaking to the inside the leader until the duo reached a lapped car on the backstretch. Kelly left enough of the room open between himself and the lapped car for Dewitt did a full send in to turn three and pulled off a slidejob as he was just able to get up in front of the No. 84m. Dewitt would be sure to thank Kelly after the event for giving him enough room to clear him and vowed to return the favor down the road. Kelly would hang on for second, his second runner-up finish of the year. On the final lap, Dan Schulz was able to drive up to third while Bill Taylor ran up to finish in fourth in a car bowered from Pat Powers after his primary ride had a mechanical issue. Taylor's finish was good enough for him to secure his third-consecutive division crown. Former champion Jesse Qutermous rounded out the top five. Rocco Conte lost the lead of the Mini Stock Feature on two occasions but was not to be denied as he fended off newcomber Tony Dickerson to get his first win in nearly 20 years at the 1/3-mile oval. Conte led the opening four circuits but on lap five Dickerson attempted a slide job for the lead, even though the bid resulted in the two coming together, Dickerson was able to put himself in front of the pack. On lap 12, Conte was able to get back by the No. 4m for the lead. On lap 14, Dickerson once again attempted a slidejob but was again unable to get by cleanly and the duo banged fenders coming to the white flag. Conte was able to keep the momentum of his No. 717Jr up entering turn one and that was good enough to become the eighth different feature win in the division this season. Dickerson would hold on for second while Mike Dinehardt had his best run of the year in third. Alexis Traxler and Jessica Schleede completed the top five. Eight-time winner James Gayton had mechanical issues and finished multiple laps down but was still about to lock up his first division title. Greenley George dominated the Novice Sportsman Feature, leading all 15 laps comfortably to capture her sixth win of the season. George used the outside pole starting spot to jump to the lead on a tacky surface and was never challenged, outside of a lap 13 restart when her No. 26 drifted high in turn four and allowed Andrew Joy to close but was unable to win for the second week in a row and had to settle for second. Allison Dewitt finished in third to lock up the division championship a week early. Seth Johnson and Tyler Foster have dueled for the win in nearly half of the Bandit Features this season and that was the case again on Saturday Night, with Johnson fending off multiple challenges by Foster to claim his 10th win of the season. Foster was side-by-side with the leader on lap seven and went to make a bid for the top spot in the fourth corner but got his car loose, nearly spinning the No. 53, which would give Johnson the breathing room he needed to get to the checkered flags first. By virtue of his win, Johnson also locked up the division title. Foster and Raiddan Wilson would round out the podium positions. After a week off next Saturday, the final point race will be held in two weeks as part of the Terry Pangrazio Memorial. For more information, visit www.Genesee-Speedway.com.

  Glenn Whritenour Dominates Gene Dewitt Memorial at Genesee - Jeremy Wonderling and Dave Conant Add to Win Totals

  Rich Vleck, BATAVIA, NY, (August 27, 2022)- After a week off from racing, perhaps the best weather day of the season saw perhaps the best car count on a "regular night" and one of the raciest surfaces of the season, creating for plenty of storylines throughout. A 34-lap Street Stock Feature with over $3000 in bonus money put in to it for the Gene Dewitt Memorial was the highlight race of the night, but in the end it was one driver putting on a clinic to leave no doubt who was the class of the field on the night. Glenn Whritenour, of Jasper, took the lead on lap 7 from Dennis Cummings and set sail to cruise to a comfortable win of over 7 seconds. On a surface that was racy but also a little slick, it was critical to have a car that would stay underneath each competitor and that is exactly what Whritenour found in his No. 15. Whritenour went from fourth to second on a lap five restart and just two laps later had the lead. He was able to keep his car pointed straight while others struggled to find the grip. "I actually think we overtightened the car but it was able to come to us a little bit," he said after the race. "Late in the race I lost by power steering though so that made things less than smooth sailing." It was the first win in Batavia for Whritenour since early in 2018, due in large part to his limited appearances on the 1/3-mile oval. This was just his second time at Genesee this season. Early leader Dennis Cummings would hold on for second while Mike Kelly ran a fine race to fend off Brandon Sherwood for third. Tommy Kemp made a late charge to round out the top five, just ahead of point leader Bill Taylor. Jeremy Wonderling came in to Saturday Night having won the feature each of the four nights he won his qualifying heat, so when the No. 3J took the checkered flag in his heat, he felt he had to keep that streak going and that is just what he did at the end of the night. Wonderling, of Wellsville, took the lead from Chad Homan coming to complete lap 8 and then held him off down the stretch for his sixth feature win of the year at Genesee. Wonderling and Homan came together on the frontstretch sending Homan's No. 91 down in to the infield before he was able to return to form. Homan would run down "Mr. Excitement" as the duo reached lapped traffic but Wonderling was able to navigate through to reestablish his margin despite some wild moments. "Lapped traffic is part of the game right," Wonderling said in Victory Lane. "I bounced off the wall when the one car drifted up but we were able to move through pretty well." After clearing the lapped traffic better than Homan, only a caution flag could give Homan a chance to claim the win, and that's what happened three laps shy of the finish. Wonderling did not worry too much about the restart though. "I knew our car was pretty good and if we hit our marks we'd be fine," he added afterwards. "This was probably the best I've seen this track this year so it was a blast to race on." In the final three-lap sprint to the finish Homan closed on Wonderling but would have to settle for second, good enough for his best finish at Genesee in his last six starts. Doug Ricotta tallied a strong point night with a heat win and a third place effort. Dave DuBois had a much-needed top five finish, coming across in fourth, just ahead of David Pangrazio. The Sportsman Feature was perhaps the most drama-filled feature of the night, with race leaders and championship contenders falling out, falling back, or driving forward. Point leader Phil Vigneri III seemed to have the best car early on, driving from eighth to third in the opening three circuits, until his car broke on lap five, ending his night and putting a dent his point lead. Ray Bliss, who had led from the drop of the green flag, was working hard to hold off Dave Conant for the lead when he blew the motor on lap 18 to end his night. That would hand over the top spot to Conant, who had the knowledge, and the race car, to stay out in front and pick up his third feature win of the season. "I'm not sure if I would have been able to get by Ray but it would have been close," said Conant after the 25-lap event. "I could run the bottom but he was still pretty good up top. I hate to see him break but there were some guys going good behind me." Over the final eight laps of the feature, the main competition for "Cadillac" was Canadian Cody McPherson, who had go from the 10th starting position up to second, but was unable to stay with the 44 on the final three restarts and would have to settle for a runner-up showing. Jim Harbison was a close third while Kyle Richner and Ryan Barrett each put together hard chargers to round out the top five. Richner went from 12th to fourth while Barrett went 15th to 5th. Olivia Coniber captured her second Mini Stock Feature win of the season, as she held off the point leader James Gayton all 15 circuits to claim the victory. Coniber, of Corfu, had to fend off Gayton early on as the No. 10 pressured on the bottom then saw him change his line but to no avail as he could not find a way around the No. 004. As those two duked it out for the win, heat winner Cole Susice was able to outduel Brandon Shepard to finish third in his first night in a new ride for the former champion. Shepard was fourth in his first race at Genesee in 2022 while Cody Wise, the winner last time out, rounded out the top five. The Novice Sportsman had the best car count in their 3-year history on Saturday Night and put on a thrilling feature. Andrew Joy was a regular in the division last year, scoring six runner-up finishes, but on Saturday Night, in his first start of the year, he was able to get break through and score his first feature win. Joy took the lead from Greenley George on a lap 7 restart and then drove off to park his No. 76m in Victory Lane. George and Joy made contact coming to the green flag on the restart and it may have effected George's No. 26 as she fell back to fourth before rebounding late to run back up to score a runner-up finish, moving by John Livingston Jr. on the final lap. Point leader Allison Dewitt and Casey Jonathan rounded out the top five. The Bandits had a tight finish right down to the wire with Tyler Foster pressing leader Seth Johnson on the final circuit. Foster dove to the inside of the No. 85 entering turn one but got a little loose when they made contact and fell back allowing Johnson to run off to his ninth win of the year, his second in-a-row. With Foster getting loose and nearly spinning, Morgan Coniber was able to move on by to claim second while Foster gathering himself up to finish in third. Racing returns next Saturday Night as longtime track supporter Dale Valley Diecast presents a Super 6 at 6:00 program. For more information, visit www.Genesee-Speedway.com.

  Jon Rivers Rockets to Victory Lane Return at Genesee - Phil Vigneri III Scores His Fourth Sportsman Win of the Season

  Rich Vleck, (BATAVIA, NY), August 14, 2022- Any night is a good night to win a feature event, but when one of your key supporters is also sponsoring the night, winning is even sweeter. On East Coast Speed Night, Jon Rivers was able to run down invader Austin Allen on lap 12 of the 25-lap Late Model Feature and then held off Allen and two other top competitors to capture his first victory in nearly four years in Batavia. "To win on East Coast Speed Night is just awesome," said Rivers in Victory Lane. "We've had a fast car the last five races we just needed things to go our way." One week ago, Rivers was in second place and chasing down the leader when his No. 85 lost break pressure entering turn one and when flying off the track. He was fortunate enough to not hit the wall and after fixing the car for Thursday, he found himself in a similar position on Saturday Night after taking second from point leader Doug Ricotta early in the feature. On a lap 10 restart, Rivers would stay in close contact with Austin Allen, who was making only his second start at Genesee in 2022. A lap after the restart, Rivers got his car to stick off the bottom of turn two and was able to drive under the No. 32 to get out in front. Allen was not ready to let "Jonzilla" run off easily though, as he stayed within range of the lead. As the leaders worked through traffic, Ricotta, along with Chad Homan, were able to make it a four-car battle for the top spot. Without a caution flag mixing things up, Rivers was able to maintain his advantage to hang on for the win, his first since September 1 of 2018. Allen's completed a strong run in second while Ricotta logged another quality points day in third. Chad Homan snapped a rough stretch of DNF's to come home in fourth. JJ Mazur ran a solid race to round out the top five. Phil Vigneri III was being chased down by Jim Harbison for the lead just after halfway in the Sportsman Feature and it appeared that it would only be a matter of time before there was a lead change, but a caution flag on lap 15 gave Vigneri a chance to reset and hit his marks to expand his lead on the restart and run off to his fourth win of the season. Vigneri, of Elba, strengthened his point lead by leading the 25-lap event wire-to-wire. Vigneri started on the outside of the front row and quickly jumped in to the lead and then stayed in the outside groove the rest of the way, which is not always his preferred line on the 1/3-mile. "I saw Ray Bliss (Thursday's Feature Winner) run the top and figured that was the play as a good starting position definitely helped tonight," said Vigneri in Victory Lane. "I was glad to see that caution come out because Jim (Harbison) was running good on the bottom. I have to thank him though because he ran me clean and that goes a long way." As Vigneri pulled away, Harbison was able to finish in second to put together a solid run two days after breaking a drive shaft. Noah Walker, would rally from issues in his heat race to drive up to finish in third. Dylan Duhow made his first appearance at Genesee this year finish in fourth while Larry Vick drove up from his 10th starting spot to round out the top five. Byron Dewitt was leading his Street Stock heat race coming to the white flag when his car inexplicably shut off; thankfully for Dewitt he was able to re-fire his No. 87H to hold on for a redraw spot, which enabled him the third starting spot in the feature, where he quickly jumped in front and stayed there to win his second feature of the year. Dewitt took the lead from point leader Bill Taylor on lap three when the No. 1 dropped out with a mechanical failure; from that point, Dewitt was easily the class of the field and only had to worry about if his car would stay together all the way to the conclusion of the 20-lap feature. As Dewitt was running off to the victory, Rich Conte was able to get a much-needed runner-up finish. Jesse Qutermous held off Mike Kelly at the finish to cross in third and pick up the hard charger honors along the way. When James Gayton crashed at the completion of the first lap of the Mini Stock Feature, it meant someone new was going to win the feature for the first time in eight races; Cody Wise was the driver to do that as he passed Curt Rung with three laps remaining for the lead and drove away for his first career victory. Wise, of Nunda, reeled in Rung's No. 24R early in the feature but was having trouble completing a pass on the bottom. Just after halfway, Wise fell in behind the leader and built up his momentum to complete a slider on lap 12 to take the lead for good. Rung would hold for second while Olivia Coniber closed late but would settle for third for the second-straight race. Allison Dewitt had won four of the first five Novice Sportsman races of the season but it was not until Saturday Night where she was able to claim her fifth feature victory. Dewitt, of LeRoy, lost the lead on the opening lap in turns three and four to John Livingston Jr. but was able to retake the top spot in the next set of corners to take back command of the field. Two late-race restarts would force Dewitt to hit her marks with the No. 16 to secure the win and strengthen her point lead. Casey Jonathan was able to drive up through to finish in second while Gregg Rauscher finished third in his first appearance in Batavia. Seth Johnson outdueled Tyler Foster in the Bandit Feature to claim his eighth win of the season. Foster ran down the lead in the closing laps and made a strong pair of bids underneath the leader entering turn three, including on the final circuit, but the right rear tire on the No. 53 went flat as he dove to the bottom, which allowed Johnson to hang on for the win. Johnson has now won all five of the features that were run at the end of the night. The Classics on Dirt Vintage Stock Cars made their lone appearance of the year on Saturday and put on a thrilling feature with four lead changes, including one on the final lap. Mark Schenck, who took the lead from Ed Lawrence on lap two, gave it back to him just before halfway. On the final lap, Schenck ran down Lawrence in lapped traffic and made a wild three-wide maneuver to split Lawrence's No. 9J and a lapped car to put his No. 46 to get the lead for the final set of corners and score the victory in the Modified Class. Tom Church won the Sportsman Class while Brent Williams was the Vintage Class winner. Racing will be off next Saturday at Genesee before roaring back to life on Saturday, August 27 for the Gene Dewitt Memorial featuring Autograph Night.

  Ray Bliss Rockets to First Genesee Win Since 2019 while Jeremy Wonderling Wins the Late Model Duel with Brother Brady

  Rich Vleck, BATAVIA, NY, (August 11, 2022)- Despite being called a Thursday Night Thunder program, a Chamber of Commerce Night presented five divisions getting the final midweek show of the season in at a brisk pace. One of the highlights of Stirling Lubricants Night came in the Sportsman Feature as veteran Ray Bliss scored his first feature win in nearly three years. Bliss, of Warsaw, started on the pole and jumped out to the early lead, but after a lap five restart Canadian Billy Bleich Jr. charged from third to challenge Bliss for the lead. Coming to complete lap six, Bleich's No. 108 was .010 seconds ahead at the line but that was when "Zeke the Streak" roared back to the life and jumped back out in front. "When I saw (Bleich) I figured it was time to get going," said the soft-spoken Bliss in Victory Lane. "We finally got some things figured out and have been running better." Once getting back in front of Bleich for the lead, defending Novice Sportsman Champion Jacob Bansmer also got back by him to regain the runner-up spot. Bansmer would find himself more than two seconds behind the No. 27z though and while he closed the gap almost every lap, he was never able to cut it under a second as Bliss would hang on to become the eighth different winner in the Stirling Lubricants Sportsman this season. Bansmer's second-place run was a career-best for the youngster, who now has four-straight top five finishes. Bleich would hang on for a third-place run in his second appearance of the year in Batavia. Behind that trio were some incredible battles with the top nine drivers in the points, with Ryan Barrett slicing his way through to finish fourth, just ahead of Phil Vigneri III, who made two big moves in the closing laps to round out the top five, and take over the point lead in the process. The Late Model Feature was a battle between the Wonderling Brothers for much of the 25-lap feature, with Jeremy finding a way by Brady with six laps remaining to claim his fifth feature win of the season. Wonderling, of Wellsville, got a powerful run off of turn four to complete lap 18 to set up a slidejob on Brady entering turn one and was able to run off from there to score the win in his new car. While the move was made in the matter of a straightaway, it was one that "Mr. Excitement" had been setting up for laps. "The track was drying up to the point where I kept showing him my nose on the bottom over and over to try to get him to move down so that I could get a run off the top and once I did that I knew I could slide him without having him doing something reckless," said Jeremy after the race. "It's just great to run against someone who you respect so much and want to race with and know they will respect you back." Brady Wonderling had jumped out to the early lead over TJ Downs, who was battling for second with Jeremy Wonderling on lap four when the No. 33 came around. The restart allowed invader Bryce Davis to inherit third to make it a trio flying around the 1/3-mile. As they started to weave through lapped traffic, that's when Jeremy set up Brady for the pass with Davis trying to find a way by them as well. At some point, the right rear of the No. 3J made contact with a lapped car and was crunched up but he kept on going to make the pass on lap 19. As Jeremy and Brady ran to a 1-2 finish, on the final circuit a lapped car would spin and collect Bryce Davis in the process. Jon Rivers would move up a spot to finish in third. Rivers had started in 10th but had taken over fourth by the end of lap five. Point Leader Doug Ricotta finished in fourth while David Pangrazio rounded out the top five. The Hobby Stock division invaded for their lone appearance of 2022 and did not disappoint with fierce battles throughout the pack with drivers from both the Southern Tier and Niagara County. Jerred Dennis took advantage of leader Kaiden Dgien choosing the bottle line on a lap 2 restart and jumped in front of the pack and would lead the rest of the way to pick up the victory. Dgien would give pressure for a number of laps after losing the top spot but after slipping over the banking in turn two would fall back to third until taking it back from Greg Young coming to the white flag. Dgien would cross in second while Young would hang on to the podium. On the final lap, a few cars would drift over the banking in turn one, enabling Chris Dziomba to drive up to fourth. Heat winner Joe Birdsall would round out the top five. The Bandit Division ran a feature-only format on the night, which worked out just fine for 13-year-old Tyler Foster, who captured his first career feature win. Foster, of Lockport, took the lead from Morgan Coniber on a lap 2 restart and then had to fend off point leader Seth Johnson on a lap five restart and then all the way to the finish to park his No. 53 in Victory Lane. Johnson peaked to the inside on multiple occasions but would have to settle for second while Nicholas Lipome rounded out the podium in third. Racing returns in fast order as a full card is on tap for this Saturday with all six weekly divisions being joined being joined by the Classics on Dirt Vintage Stock Cars. Race time for that show is 6:00 with perfect weather in the forecast. For more information, visit www.Genesee-Speedway.com.

  Phil Vigneri III Scores Sportsman Victory in Thrilling Fashion while Mikey Wonderling Wins Crate Late Model Feature for the First Time at Genesee

  Rich Vleck, BATAVIA, NY, (August 6, 2022)- A pop up shower moved across the Genesee County Fairgrounds an hour before Saturday's program and had the event in jeopardy, but what it ended up doing was providing the moisture needed to make for a fast and thrilling race night. The seven features saw a total of just eight cautions, including a 23-lap run to the finish of the Sportsman Feature that had everyone on the edge of their seat. Phil Vigneri III admitted that his results over the last month had him down in the dumps, but his run in Saturday Night's Sportsman Feature should keep him on cloud nine for quite some time. Vigneri, of Elba, scored his third feature win of the season, moving by Ray Bliss for second on lap 21 and then taking the lead from Jim Harbison two laps later to capture the victory. "We have been struggling over the last month and threw something at the setup tonight and it worked," said Vigneri in Victory Lane. "The track was fast but I saw everyone starting to get loose on top and even as I was battling with Zeke (Ray Bliss) for second I could see we were closing in on Jimmy (Harbison) and as soon as I think two laps after I took second I took the lead." Despite starting in third, Vigneri had dropped back to fourth after a lap three restart and had to patiently work the bottom to clear Jacob Bansmer for third and then spent nearly 10 laps to pass the No. 27z. That duo would close on leader Jim Harbison and once Vigneri got the drive off the bottom on Bliss for lap 21 he immediately closed on the leader and made a similar pass in swifter fashion for the top spot. Vigneri became the first sportsman driver to score his third feature win of the season and gained ground in the point race. Harbison would hold off Bliss at the finish for second while Noah Walker finished in fourth. Jacob Bansmer finished in fifth for his third-straight top five finish. Mikey Wonderling had only run a Crate Late Model on a handful of occasions at Genesee, but after his run on Saturday Night he wondered out loud if he should be coming more often. Wonderling, of Scio, led all 25 laps to claim his first win at Genesee in the division and his first win on the 1/3-mile since a 360 Late Model win in September 2016. "We've only raced the car about nine times this year so to get a win is pretty good," said Wonderling after picking up the win. "I knew I wasn't pulling away and guys were close but it was good enough." Early in the race, Wonderling had to fend off local Jon Rivers. After a lap two restart that saw Carl Shelter take a wild ride down the frontstretch wall, Wonderling only had a few car lengths on Rivers as the race got back underway and it appeared the No. 85 may have something for him until lap 15 when Rivers broke and his car went straight off the top of turn one. This would hand over the runner-up position to point leader Doug Ricotta, who took two bids for the lead but was unable to stay close enough to the No. 18 to make a dive to the bottom for the lead. Ricotta would cross in second while David Pangrazio finished in third. Bill Holmes and Paul Grigsby completed the top five. Bill Taylor won his fourth Street Stock Feature of the season in dramatic fashion as the point leader had to fend off Byron Dewitt right down to checkered flags. Taylor, of Arcade, saw his lead of over 3 seconds evaporate when the only caution flag of the race appeared on lap 10. From that point on, Dewitt would stalk the No. 1 for the final 10 laps, but was unable to complete a pass to the low side of the defending champion. Taylor bobbled just once but Dewitt was unable to capitalize and would have to settle for the runner-up spot for the second straight Saturday. Last week's winner Dennis Cummings finished in third while Damian Long was fourth for his first top five of the season. Mike Kelly won his first heat race early in the night and rounded out the top five in the feature. James Gayton won his sixth-straight Mini Stock Feature, his seventh overall in 2022, after making a pass on Rocco Conte to complete lap 10 and holding on the rest of the way. Gayton was less than a tenth of a second ahead of Conte at the completion of lap 10 when the caution flag flew for the only time in the 15-lap feature, which forced a single-file restart that gave Gayton the cushion he needed to lead the final five laps comfortably. Conte had taken the race lead from Eric Brumsted on the second circuit and was fighting hard to hang on to the lead but would cross in second, ahead of Code Wise, Olivia Coniber and first-time heat winner Alexis Traxler. George captured her fifth feature win of the season in the Novice Sportsman as she led all 15 laps in dominating fashion. George, of Wilson, also won her heat race earlier in the night which oddly enough was her first career win in a heat race at Genesee. Both Allison Dewitt and Casey Jonathan fell out while running in second, allowing George to expand her lead throughout much of the race. Two late cautions would enable John Livingston Jr. a pair of chances to take away the win, but he would have to fend off Mike Taddonio at the line for second, which he would do by a car length. Seth Johnson took the lead in the Bandit Feature on the opening circuit when Raiddan Wilson slipped up in turn three and never was challenged again as he scored his seventh feature win of the season. Johnson has now won the last four features, all of which were run at the end of the night in different track conditions. Wilson would finish in second in his first appearance at Genesee but would have a mechanical failure immediately after crossing the finish line. Tyler Foster would rebound from an early spin to round out the podium. The NY6A 600 Micro Sprint Tour made their second and final trip of the season as well on Saturday and just like the first appearance, the feature event was dominated by local favorite Nick Groff as he pulled off the sweep of the 2022 season. Groff took the lead with a quick move around the outside of heat race winner Ivan Forney coming to complete lap 7 and drove away to a comfortable victory on a tacky surface. Forney would hold on for second while Will Fisher ran up to complete the podium positions. Racing action will stay fast and furious as there will be two race nights this upcoming week. On Thursday Night, the Hobby Stocks will join in with most of the weekly divisions while the Vintage Cars will make their lone appearance with the weekly divisions on Saturday.

  Jeremy Wonderling Claims Clayton Downs Memorial at Genesee - Dave Conant Scores Second Sportsman Win of Season

  Rich Vleck, BATAVIA, NY, (July 30, 2022)- A perfect weather day greeted race fans and fairgoers alike at the Genesee County Fairgrounds on Saturday Night. On the dirt track side, the Clayton Downs Memorial was an event that saw lots of preparation go in and the results were a full field of Late Models that was filled with storylines. Jeremy Wonderling's nickname is "Mr. Excitement", but on Saturday Night a better one might have been "Moses", because somehow, someway, he was able to drive through calamity in front of him and find his way to the front. Wonderling, of Wellsville, led the final 16 laps of the 33-lap Clayton Downs Memorial for his fourth win of the season, this one resulting in a payday of $2,033. Wonderling had a great car, but he also had luck on his side. "I don't know how I got through that first wreck," admitted Wonderling in Victory Lane about the wreck on a lap 7 restart that saw the top two of David Pangrazio and John Waters come together and collect half of the field. "I'm not sure what happened in front of me I was just glad to not be in it." After that big wreck, Wonderling found himself in second trailing Jimmy Johnson, who took the lead and was solid until just after halfway, when his No. 39J got spun around while in lapped traffic, which would hand the lead over to Wonderling's No. 3J for good. "Jimmy was good and I wasn't sure if I could pass him outside of the preferred groove so I knew lapped traffic would be my chance," Wonderling added. "It is important to be patient with lapped traffic and it worked in our favor." After those two close calls, Wonderling was able to drive away from Paul Grigsby for his fourth win at Genesee in 2022. Grigsby would settle for second while the battle was on for third. Doug Ricotta, who was involved in the lap seven wreck, would drive back up to third with a late-race move on JJ Mazur, who would settle for fourth. David Pangraizo rallied from his incident while leading to rally back to round out the top five. The Sportsman division ran off a clean 25-lap feature, with every circuit being led by Dave Conant as "Cadillac" would score his second win of the season. In order to win Conant would have to get out of his comfort zone. "I think everyone knows I like to run the bottom but after watching the late models I knew that's where I had to be," said Conant after the event. Conant saw a serious challenge from point leader Cameron Tuttle down the stretch as the No. 35T was able to reel him in with three laps remaining but could not set up a move on the bottom of the track. Tuttle would have to fall back in line and settle for second while Noah Walker used a strong restart on lap 17 restart to run up from 8th to 3rd, where he would finish. Jim Harbison passed Jacob Bansmer on the final lap to finish in fourth. Dennis Cummings knew that the high line would be the way to Victory Lane in his street stock, but when he is No. 74D started getting lose he had multiple competitors breathing down his neck; but when one more false move would have him surrender the leader Cummings hit his marks and held on for the win. Cummings, of Wellsville, ended up leading all 20 laps for his second win of the season in Batavia. The 2018 Champion was pressured early on by Brandon Sherwood, who faded on lap 13 when he suffered a flat left rear tire. On the ensuing restart Byron Dewitt gave pressure to the leader by running the bottom lane and looked like he could take the lead at any point, but that was when Cummings was at his best and refused to make a bobble to give up the win. Dewitt would have to settle for second while point leader would run to third. Mike Kelly and Adam DePuy would round out the top five. James Gayton scored his fifth-straight win in the Mini Stock Feature, his sixth of 2022. Gayton took the lead on the opening lap but would see Bill Weller Jr. take over the top spot before that circuit was completed. Gayton was able to get back in front of him by lap three and then checked out to capture a comfortable victory. Olivia Coniber ran to a solid second while Eric Brumsted held off a hard-charging Cole Susice for third. Jessica Schleede rounded out the top five. Kasey Coffey made his first appearance to the Genesee Speedway pay off in a big way as the youngster dominated the 15-lap Novice Sportsman Feature. Coffey had his No. 32c running lap times after than every Stirling Lubricants Sportsman except one but wanted to make sure he knew his way around the 1/3-mile and clearly he figured it out quickly. A wild battle was on behind Coffey, with Allison Dewitt driving up to finish in second, moving in front of Greenley George, who rounded out the podium. The Bandit Feature came right down to the final lap as Tyler Foster ran down leader Seth Johnson and was setting up a pass for the lead but spun around in turn one and allowed Johnson to run off to his sixth win of the year. Morgan Coniber was able to move up to finish second while Jonathan Logsdon rounded out the podium. The Sharp Mini Late Models made their first appearance and had a wild battle to the finish. Chris White led the first nine laps but was knocked out of the race while leading, handing the lead over to Trey White. White would have to battle wheel-to-wheel to withhold the advances of Carson Wonderling but was able to do so and would capture the win and the sweep of the night. Racing action returns next Saturday, August 6, with the NY6A Micro Sprints joining the six weekly divisions at 6:00. For more information, visit www.Genesee-Speedway.com.

  Paul Grigsby and Dave DiPietro Invade Genesee Victory Lane

  Rich Vleck, BATAVIA, NY, (July 16, 2022)- The only race over a four-week span at Genesee Speedway had a pit full of competitors amped up to go after a win with an aggression level was a major story throughout the night. The 10th race night of the 2022 season was also the Rich Conte Sr./ Mikey Holford Memorial night with plenty of purple and yellow adorned in the pits and in the stands. It was a special night for that race, as well as for the stories made during the racing action. Paul Grigsby took advantage of his outside front row starting spot to outduel Bill Holmes at the start of the 25-lap Late Model Feature and never looked as he ran off to his first feature win at Genesee in over a year. "Sometimes momentum is king here and that's what I had to rely on," stated the veteran after the caution-free feature. "You look at the top eight starters tonight and how good they are and I knew I had to get in front early." Despite settling in to second, Holmes was able to stay within range of the No. 24 and, in the closing laps, Grigsby found himself mired in lapped traffic, which tightened up the battle even further. "I went down to the bottom (to pass a lapped car), and I think I could have got by him if I needed to but I just stayed on the top unless I saw someone a nose and nobody ever did." Grigsby would end up winning by a second over Bill Holmes, while Jeremy Wonderling closed late to finish in third. Doug Ricotta was a close fourth while David Pangrazio would cross in fifth after three-time winner Chad Homan fell out with 3 laps remaining. In the sportsman feature, the first 19 laps ran off without a caution, but the first yellow flag would be a major one that would fully change the dynamic of the race. Canadian Brad Rouse had the early lead from the pole but Noah Walker began to reel him in as the race reached its second half. With 17 laps complete, Walker moved under Rouse to begin a series of slide jobs on each other, each one a little less forgiving then the prior one. Heading in to turn one on lap 20, Rouse got in to the back of Walker as the lead duo went in to the corner. Rouse would head to the pits for the remainder of the race while Walker had to head to the back of the pack. The incident would put Jim Harbison out in front, but on the ensuing restart Dave DiPietro dove under the lead and after the two made contact would take the lead and refused to give it up. DiPietro, of North Tonawanda, scored his first-career Genesee win in the 25-lap event, but afterwards could not help but feel bad for the drivers that didn't pick up the Checkered Flag. "I feel bad for Noah, that was his race," admitted DiPietro. "I also need to talk to Jim (Harbison) because I got in to him. He was faster than me all race so I knew I had to get him on a restart and I went down in (to turn three) and it was as if his car just stopped." After the contact for the lead, the field would slow again for a spin, which would see Harbison pit while under caution. The ensuing restart would also be unsuccessful as Dave Conant and others spun around with an accordion restart. The final restart would see DiPietro once again pull away while Phil Vigneri III held off a hard-charging Cameron Tuttle for the second spot. Jacob Bansmer scored his division-best fourth-place while Adam Hilton rounded out the top five. Bill Taylor was involved in a heavy wreck two weeks ago and after endless hours of repair and thousands of dollars in replacements, he made it all pay off with a thrilling win in the 20-lap Street Stock Feature. Taylor, of Arcade, had to withstand the endless challenges from two-time winner John Zimmerman, most notably on lap 17 when Zimmerman looked to slide up in front of the leader but could not 100% clear the No. 1. Taylor was able to lean on the right rear of "The Z-Man" and give himself the ability to rim ride back in to the lead after losing the top spot for one lap. Zimmerman would have to settle for second while former champion Byron Dewitt close-in-tow in third. Tommy Kemp crossed in fourth while Jacob Vick rounded out the top five. James Gayton scored his fifth Mini Stock win of the season in dominating fashion as he jumped in front of Rocco Conte on a lap two restart and drove off to a comfortable victory with the race running off without caution. Conte would hold on for second, while Don Whiteside rallied to finish third after restarting at the back. Whitside was the early leader but was spun out on the second circuit by Dylan Strade, which collected six cars. Eric Brumsted and Olivia Coniber rounded out the top five. Casey Jonathan scored his second Novice Sportsman Feature win of the season in dramatic fashion, holding off four-time winner Greenley George down the stretch to return to Victory Lane. Jonathan, of Basom, slipped up on lap 13, which allowed George to drive to the inside in turns three and four and challenge for the lead, but Jonathan was able to put his No. 74 up on the cushion and take the lead back by just .002 seconds at the line and then use his momentum to get back out in front and hang on to score the narrow victory. George was a strong second while heat race winner John Livingston Jr completed the podium positions. Seth Johnson rounded out the night with a fine pass of Tyler Foster on lap seven of the Bandit Feature to take his No. 85 to Victory Lane for the fifth time this season. Johnson, of Castile, had to tiptoe on the bottom of the track to make the pass with slick conditions to complete the pass for his second win in-a-row. Foster would hold on for second while Morgan Coniber completed the podium. Genesee Speedway will be off next Saturday before returning to action on Saturday, July 30 for the Clayton Downs Memorial, presented by The Hangover Crew. This $1533-to-win 33-lap event for the Late Models will highlight a show with all weekly divisions plus the Sharp Mini Late Models. For more information, visit www.Genesee-Speedway.com.
