  Macri Tops Three-Way Battle For Zemaitis Tribute At Williams Grove - Drevicki scores USAC East 360s

  Mechanicsburg - Anthony Macri came out on top of an electrifying three-way battle for the sprint car win at Williams Grove Speedway on Friday night, taking $8,000 for his fourth oval victory of the season in the Zemaitis Tribute Race. In support action, Steve Drevicki took the win in the USAC East 360 sprint feature for his third career oval win in the division. Danny Dietrich took the lead at the start of the 25-lap John and Pee Wee Zemaitis Tribute feature, beating Parker Price Miller back to the stripe with control. After starting fifth, Chase Dietz motored up to second on the opening lap and began his quest for the lead with Macri moving by Price Miller for third on the ninth circuit. Dietrich entered the rear of the field on the 11th tour and immediately began to struggle putting cars a lap down. For several laps Dietrich was bottled up behind Brady Bacon and this allowed both Dietz and Macri to close in. The slickening track proved dicey and when Dietrich missed his entry into the first turn on lap 19, Dietz immediately drove to his inside while Macri blasted to the outside trying to swoop by both pilots. However Macri only came up with second as Dietz took the point. For the next four laps Macri slammed his car onto the high cushion as he entered the first corner in an effort to muscle by Dietz while Dietrich lurked within striking distance. Lap after lap Macri would draw beside the leader but couldn't quite muster enough power to complete the pass. And then on lap 23 the lead trio staged a crowd-pleasing three-car battle for command with Macri changing lanes to the inside, Dietz in the middle and Dietrich up on the cushion in the second corner. Macri came away the pacesetter as the trio pushed themselves off of the turn and onto the backchute while Dietrich also got by Dietz. Once at the front, Macri would drive to the win by .369 seconds over Dietrich, who was racing for his second win in a row. Dietz settled for third followed by Troy Wagaman Jr. and Price Miller. Sixth through 10th went to Brock Zearfoss, Austin Bishop, Freddie Rahmer, Logan Rumsey and Ryan Newton. Heats went to Price Miller, Dietz and Wagaman Jr. while Kody Hartlaub won the consolation race. Cameron Smith set fast time with a lap of 17.278 seconds. The win was the 14th of Macri's career at Williams Grove and his 12th overall of the season. Chris Allen Jr. led the first 13 laps of the 25-lap USAC East 360 feature before sixth starter Steve Drevicki of Reading drove into the lead. Drevicki took the win by .542 seconds ahead of Christian Bruno. Allen Jr. ended up third followed by Kyle Spence and Steve Wilbur. Heats went to Joey Amantea, Bruno and Ed Aikin. Ron Helmick took the consolation race. Feature Finishes 8/29/25 410 sprint cars, 25 laps: 1. Anthony Macri, 2. Danny Dietrich, 3. Chase Dietz, 4. Troy Wagaman Jr., 5. Parker Price Miller, 6.

  Showman And Promoter Jack Gunn To Be Honored Friday At Grove - 410 sprint special pays 8K to win in 43rd annual running

  Mechanicsburg - For the 43rd season in a row, Williams Grove Speedway will honor one of the finest showman and promoters the East has ever known on Friday night when the York Building Products Jack Gunn Memorial for 410 sprint cars is contested. First run in 1983, the Gunn Memorial honors late Williams Grove promoter Jack Gunn, a native of Hancock, Maryland. The 2025 event will be the 43rd annual Gunn Memorial and the winner's list is impressive to say the least. Bobby Allen was the first winner in 1983 with additional names on the win list like Frankie Kerr, Jason Johnson, Lance Dewease, Greg Hodnett, Fred Rahmer, Daryn Pittman, Keith Kauffman and many others. However no driver has claimed more Gunn Memorials over the years than the now retired Don Kreitz Jr. Jack Gunn was a Hall of Fame Promoter who heralded the speedway as promoter from 1967 until his untimely death from cancer at the age of 48 in 1980. He began working at the track during the early 1960s as an announcer and honed his skill on the microphone while eventually relaying his talents into the ovals captain. It was during his tenure at the helm of Williams Grove Speedway that Gunn rose to prominence on the local and national scene and he took the facility with him. During his career at Williams Grove, Gunn also promoted with much success at other area tracks. Gunns mark on both Williams Grove and the region itself was to help raise sprint car racing to not only a weekly division but a premiere weekly headline division at that. With his hand guiding them, Gunn first lured and then brought the likes of Jan Opperman, Bobby Allen, Steve Smith and more to the area to race, make a living and ultimately to make a home in this rich racing region. Gunn was feted nationally as 1979 Promoter of the Year. While at the top of his game, he not only stood at the helm at both Williams Grove and Selinsgrove Speedways, but he was also doing the job at Hagerstown, (Maryland) and Penn National Speedways. In his day, Jack Gunn was known as the most powerful promoter in the East. And it is that reputation and skill that Williams Grove Speedway will honor yet again this week with the running of the Jack Gunn Memorial. Gates will open at 5:30 pm with action getting underway at 7:30 pm. Adult general admission is set at $25 with youth ages 13 - 20 admitted for just $10. Kids ages 12 and under are always admitted for FREE at Williams Grove Speedway.

  New Winners Hartlaub And Merriman Visit Williams Grove Victory Lane

  Mechanicsburg - A pair of new winners visited victory lane at Williams Grove Speedway on Friday night when Kody Hartlaub walked off with the 410 sprint win and Cameron Merriman scored an exciting win in the Dirty Deeds 25 Finale for 358 sprints worth $3,000. Hartlaub would lead all 25 laps of the 410 sprint main with TJ Stutts trailing. His pace was slowed twice during the feature, once on lap 11 for a stopped Lance Dewease and again with six laps to go for a stopped Doug Hammaker. Hartlaub entered the rear of the field with the lead on the sixth circuit and began opening up some distance in traffic. Ninth starter Brock Zearfoss raced into fourth on lap 12 and appeared ready to continue his advance before he too slowed and pulled pitside. The leader again entered traffic on lap 18 just before the final caution flag unfurled. Hartlaub pulled away on the restart as Cameron Smith flexed his muscle and drove by point leader Troy Wagaman Jr. before going after Stutts for second. Smith briefly took the spot only to see Stutts reclaim it with five laps to go. Hartlaub would go on to score his first career Williams Grove Speedway victory by 1.691 second, worth $5,000. Stutts finished second followed by Smith, Wagaman Jr., and Anthony Macri. Sixth through 10th went to Kyle Moody, Freddie Rahmer, Brady Bacon, Jordan Thomas and Preston Lattomus. Heats went to Macri, Wagaman J r., and Dewease. Macri set fast time in warm-ups with a lap of 17.317 seconds. Cameron Merriman of Ellicott City, Md., turned in an impressive and exciting run to victory in the Dirty Deeds 25 feature for the 358 sprints. After starting third in the feature he raced into second behind leader Chase Gutshall on the opening lap. Merriman wasn't within striking distance during the early going but a lap 10 restart bunched the field and that's when he went to work for the win. For three consecutive laps Merriman thrust his No. 8 to the outside of Gutshall's No. 1a in the third and fourth turns and all three times he took the lead only to see his car slip over the cushion, allowing Gutshall to race back by before the stripe on laps 11, 12 and 13. After that Merriman regrouped and actually lost second briefly to a surging Ayden Hare. However with five laps to go Merriman was again ready to mount a challenge and after drag racing Gutshall down the backstretch he stuck to his outside into the third turn and this time made the move stick as the pair raced through the fourth corner on lap 21. And once in front Merriman was able to drive away to the $3,000 win for his first ever win anywhere in a 358 sprint car. He took the victory by 2.338 seconds over Hare, who took second with three laps to go. Third went to Gutshall with Cody Fletcher finishing fourth and Adam Carberry riding home in fifth spot. Sixth through 10th went to Dylan Norris, Derek Locke, Bryn Gohn, Jude Siegel and Nash Ely. Heats were taken by Hare, Frankie Herr and Eli Tuckey with Norris scoring the consolation race. Norris set fast time in warm-ups with a lap of 18.445 seconds. Feature Finishes 8/15/25 410 sprint cars, 25 laps: 1. Kody Hartlaub, 2. TJ Stutts, 3. Cameron Smith, 4. Troy Wagaman Jr., 5.

  Dylan Norris Victorious In Williams Grove 410 Sprints For Second Of Career, Derek Locke Returns To 358 Winner's Circle

  Mechanicsburg - Dylan Norris of Hanover piloted his No. 17 to the 410 sprint car win at Williams Grove Speedway on Friday night, turning in an impressive drive to record the second oval victory of his career. His previous win at the track in the division was on March 25, 2022. Norris pocketed $5,500 for the victory after scoring a pair of 358 sprint wins at the track on July 18. In 358 sprint action Friday night, Derek Locke returned to victory lane for the first time since September of 2023. Norris started sixth in his drive to victory and watched as polesitter Tim Glatfelter took control at the start of the 25 lap main. By lap three Norris had motored by Alex Attard for the third spot before setting his sights on Jeff Halligan for second. The leader entered the rear of the field on lap 11 and began putting cars a lap down before Norris got by Halligan with 11 laps to go. And just as Norris took second Glatfelter stumbled on the cushion, allowing both drivers to quickly run up on the leader. Norris pulled the trigger with nine laps to go and took control of the race with Halligan racing into second on lap 19. A lap later the Ephrata driver was briefly able to take the lead away from Norris as the pair worked traffic but Norris kept his composure and reclaimed the top spot in the fourth turn before the leaders could cross the line with five laps to go. And from there Norris would not be challenged, taking the win by 1.167 seconds over Freddie Rahmer, who drove from ninth at the start. Halligan settled for third followed by Tyler Ross and 16th starter Brock Zearfoss. Sixth through 10th went to Glatfelter, 17th starter Lance Dewease, Troy Wagaman Jr., Attard and Ryan Taylor. Heats went to Glatfelter, Attard and Halligan. Polesitter Chase Gutshall led the first 10 laps of the 25-lap 358 sprint feature before third starter Locke drove by. Fourth starter Ayden Hare took second with 10 laps to go and would proved to be a challenge for Locke before the finish. After losing second back to Gutshall for a few more laps, Hare put his elbows up and began driving higher and harder around the half-mile, again racing into second with four laps to go. Hare then ran down leader Locke and was able to rally to his outside on the final circuit but ended up crossing the finish line as the runner-up by .386 seconds. Dylan Norris was third followed by Gutshall and Nash Ely. Sixth through 10th went to Cody Fletcher, Jude Siegel, Matt Findley, Kyle Spence and Andy Best.

  J & S Classics To Present 63rd annual Williams Grove World of Outlaws National Open October 3/4

  Mechanicsburg - J & S Classics of Grantville will present the 63rd annual World of Outlaws National Open at Williams Grove Speedway coming up on Friday and Saturday, October 3 and 4. The announcement that J & S Classics would join forces with Williams Grove for the prestigious event was made Friday night at the track. For Sandy Kline, owner of J & S Classics and current car owner for Doug Hammaker, sponsoring the National Open at Williams Grove just comes naturally. "I have always loved the National Open and after you win the National Open, when you go to it, it's a whole different ball game once you've earned that win," Kline says. Kline and her late husband Jim got their win in the National Open with Greg Hodnett at the wheel of their famed golden No. 22 back in 2009. "You're going with a whole different attitude because you've sat in that victory lane. Any time you've won an outlaws race as a Pennsylvania Posse member you're doin' your job," Kline matter-of-factly states. As a car owner, Kline's stables did their job a total of eight times over the outlaws, all at Williams Grove, with pilots Jason Johnson, Hodnett and Fred Rahmer as wheel men. The 63rd annual running of the J & S Classics World of Outlaws National Open at Williams Grove Speedway will offer the Saturday, October 4 winner $75,000 for his 40 laps of work. And Kline is excited to see it all unfold. "It's my whole thing. Most people don't get this - I'm a woman who absolutely loves sprint car racing! I grew up with racing. I've lived it most of my life," she says. The two-day J & S Classics National Open will pit the outlaws pilots against the venerable Pennsylvania Posse sprint car stars for an all star match-up. "I guess you gotta' give back somewhere along the line. If you have it and you can do it, then you know, help this sport along," Kline says of her reasoning behind coming aboard the National Open. "You gotta' keep sprint car interest alive and well. The Pennsylvania Posse against the outlaws is one of the best competitions." "So for me there's nothing better than going to a race," she adds. "It's a sweet rivalry between the outlaws and the posse. It's exciting!" All the excitement of the Williams Grove Speedway J & S Classics World of Outlaws National Open weekend gets underway Friday night, October 3 when round one takes to the track at 7:30 pm.

  24TH Running Of Williams Grove Summer Nationals Continues Rivalry And History Friday And Saturday

  Mechanicsburg - The C & D Rigging Summer Nationals at Williams Grove Speedway, coming up this Friday and Saturday, July 25 and 26, will celebrate its 24th running this week. The Grove Summer Sizzler has long found the World of Outlaws matching up with the Pennsylvania Posse to contest for top honors in the two-day rivalry. The first edition of the current Summer Nationals was a three-day event back in 2002 with a pair of preliminary mains taken by Danny Lasoski and Joey Saldana while local driver Greg Hodentt upended the World of Outlaws for the big score on Saturday driving for the Apple Motorsports stables. At the time, the three-day World of Outlaws show at Williams Grove was billed as the first of its kind since only one other previous three-day stand at the track in history, also billed as a Summer Nationals, took place in August 1984 when Sammy Swindell, Brad Doty and Steve Kinser took wins. World of Outlaws kingpin Donny Schatz took two of three at the track in 2003 with Don Kreitz Jr. taking a preliminary night. The 2004 version saw Lance Dewease and Lasoski split a pair of mains. Another three-day format in 2005 saw Jason Johnson score a popular victory for local owners Jim and Sandy Kline while Paul McMahan scored another prelim with track powerhouse Fred Rahmer taking a raucous victory in the Saturday finale. In 2006 outlaws invaders Terry McCarl, Craig Dollansky and Daryn Pittman swept the three-day affair. Donny Schatz bookended the three-day event with wins in 2007 while local Brian Leppo of Spring Grove was sandwiched in the middle with a win aboard the Swope No. 71 machine. Becoming a two-day event in 2008, outlaws Donny Schatz and Daryn Pittman swept the shows but the following year belonged to local drivers Greg Hodnett in the Kline No. 22 and Cody Darrah with Darrah taking the win in a make-up feature held during National Open weekend in October. The 2010 version was all Pennsylvania Posse as Lance Dewease took night one aboard the Don Owens No. 30C and Hodnett returning for another win for the Kline team. Hodnett struck again in 2011, this time in the Trone Special No. 39, along with outlaw driver Jason Meyers. Just one show was completed in 2012 with Darrah back for another win, this time aboard an outlaws mount owned by Kasey Kahne. Again, one show was completed in 2013 with Schatz again a victor but the pendulum swung the other way again in 2014 when locals Hodnett and Dewease swept the two-day weekend show with Hodnett now driving for Michael Heffner and Dewease aboard the Conduit Connections No. 14. The locals made it back-to-back sweeps of the event in 2015 when Danny Dietrich and Stevie Smith trounced the outlaws. Pittman was back for a win in 2016 with Dewease, now aboard the Kreitz No. 69K, taking the Saturday finale. Local driver Brock Zearfoss piloted the Long No. 58 to the win on night one in 2017 while Greg Hodnett ended up scoring the second feature aboard the Heffner mount albeit as a make up main in late September. Only the first night was completed in 2018 with Dewease returning for a victory, still in the 69K. The 2019 Summer Nationals saw Tim Shaffer pilot the Rudzik No. 49 to the opening night win while Schatz got back to Summer Nationals victory for the first time since 2013. Shane Stewart fended off Anthony Macri to win opening night in 2020 while David Gravel dominated on Saturday to lead flag to flag. In 2021 it was Sheldon Haudenschild and Brent Marks splitting Summer Nationals laurels with Marks scoring the big 20K Saturday finale. Haudenschild's Friday win was the first of his career at Williams Grove. Dewease was back again for a Friday victory in the 69K in 2022 while Saturdays big money win went to outlaws champion Brad Sweet for his elusive first-ever Williams Grove victory. In 2023 outlaws driver Logan Schuchart of nearby Hanover scored one that kept the local fans happy on Friday before independent California driver Rico Abreu walked off with the $20,000 Saturday loot to record his first-ever oval checkers. Last season TJ Stutts upended the outlaws in Friday night action also billed as the make-up Morgan Cup held over from May, taking $17,000 for the night one win. World of Outlaws champion David Gravel scored the 20K on Saturday in what was his 100th career outlaws series victory. Adult general admission for Friday night is $35 with students ages 13-20 admitted for just $15. Saturday adult general admission is $40 with students ages 13 - 20 priced at $20.

  Wagaman Wins Williams Grove Outlaws Tune-Up, Norris Sweeps 358s

  Mechanicsburg - Troy Wagaman Jr. throttled Mike Heffner's No. 27 to the sprint car win at Williams Grove Speedway on Friday night, scoring a clean sweep of the evening by setting fast time, winning his heat, the dash and the 25-lap main event in the World of Outlaws Tune Up. Including $300 for fast time, Wagaman took $6,300 back to his hometown of Hanover for his fourth career win at the historic oval. In twin 358 sprint mains, Hanover's Dylan Norris took home the loot in both features. Wagaman started on the pole of the 410 sprint main and entered the rear of the field on lap six, trailed by fourth starter Lance Dewease. The feature would go non-stop from start to finish with a blistering pace being set by the leaders as traffic played a factor in action at the front of the field for the final 19 laps. For the most part Wagaman was able to navigate traffic and maintain an advantage over Dewease but by lap 15 amid hard racing between the backmarkers, Dewease was able to mount a challenge. And he was close enough to capitalize for the lead on lap 21 when Wagaman got held up in the first corner. Dewease used the cushion to blast around for control and duck down in front of Wagaman as the pair shot onto the backchute. But then ironically Dewease got boxed in by the same traffic that held up Wagaman moments earlier, allowing the Hanover pilot to throttle back out in front for the victory. Wagaman took the win by .308 seconds over Dewease with Kody Hartlaub riding home in third. Freddie Rahmer finished fourth with Justin Whittall completing the top five. Sixth through 10th went to TJ Stutts, Chad Trout, Cameron Smith, Matt Campbell and Tyler Ross. Heats went to Wagaman, Stutts and Hartlaub with Wagaman earning the pole for the feature by claiming the dash. Wagaman set fast time with a lap of 16.426 seconds. Dylan Norris wired the field in the make-up Dirty Deeds 25 limited sprint feature held over from April 4. He was chased early by Brett Wanner who would give up second to Andy Best on lap 13. Best finished in second by .923 seconds followed by Wanner, Scott Fisher and Nash Ely. The regularly scheduled 358 sprint main, a Summer Series event, saw Wanner lead the first 10 laps before eighth starter Norris drove into command. Wanner took the lead back from Norris on the 12th circuit but eventually again succumbed to Norris with nine laps to go. Fourth starter Derek Locke raced into second with seven laps to go but failed to challenge Norris for the win. Best was third followed by Wanner and Chase Gutshall. The wins were the fifth and sixth of Norris' career at Williams Grove. Heats went to Wanner, Adam Carberry, Chad Criswell and Cole Young with Frankie Herr winning the consolation race. Feature Finishes 7/18/25 410 sprint cars, 25 laps: 1. Troy Wagaman J r., 2. Lance Dewease, 3. Kody Hartlaub, 4. Freddie Rahmer, 5. Justin Whittall, 6. TJ Stutts, 7. Chad Trout, 8. Cameron Smith, 9.

  Dietrich Wins 20K In Grove Speedweek Mitch Smith Memorial - Gettysburg driver garners fourth career win in prestigious event

  Mechanicsburg - Danny Dietrich scored the prestigious Mitch Smith Memorial for 410 sprint cars as part of Pennsylvania Speedweek at Williams Grove Speedway on Friday night for the fourth time in his career. The recently crowned Ohio Speedweek champion, Dietrich pocketed $20,000 for his win in the 30-lap, 37th annual running of the event. The Gettysburg driver started third in the field and fell to fourth on the opening lap behind leader Brent Marks. Marks was chased early by Ryan Smith and Troy Wagaman Jr. before Wagaman used a good run off the inside of turn two on the ninth tour to motor into second. As Smith slipped backwards, Myerstown's Marks entered traffic on the 12th tour and it was then that Dietrich seemed to begin coming to life in the Kauffman No. 48 machine. He muscled by Wagaman for second on lap 13 just before the first caution flag of the race unfurled. The restart saw Marks keep Dietrich at bay as speedweek point leader and defending Smith Memorial champion Anthony Macri entered the top five. But by lap 18 Dietrich was trying Marks in every corner with Marks flying his No. 19M on the cushion and Dietrich blasting across the bottom. Dietrich finally took the lead for good on lap 20 with a low side bite off of the second corner. The new leader then entered the rear of the field with seven laps to go. A second caution period with five laps to go turned to a red flag for refueling and when action resumed, third runner Macri blasted his car under Marks in the first turn to narrowly come away with the second spot. Macri then tried to run down the leader but to no avail as Dietrich took the big victory by .789 seconds.

  Williams Grove Announces Sept. 12 Schedule Change - 358 sprints added to lineup

  Mechanicsburg —In coordination with the PA Sprint Series, Williams Grove Speedway has made a change to its schedule on Friday, September 12. Originally slated to include action for the PASS 305s, the HJ Towing & Recovery 358 sprints will now replace the PASS on the schedule. The oval has yet to complete a 358 sprint car race this season due to the uncanny timing of rain each time a race has been attempted thus the revision to the lineup on September 12. The change will give the 358 sprint teams a much-needed opportunity to compete and make up for at least one of the many races lost on the season. Williams Grove Speedway appreciates the understanding of PASS management and all PASS teams and fans as both organizations work together to effect this change in scheduling. Williams Grove looks forward to the return of the PASS 305s in the 2026 racing season.

  Career Of Mitch Smith Honored Friday With 37th Smith Memorial - Williams Grove again honors legendary wheelman as part of Speedweek

  Mechanicsburg - When Williams Grove Speedway races this week on July 4, it will do so for the 37th year in a row in honor of a famed sprint car great, the late Mitch Smith of Linglestown. The oval will host the J & S Classics 37th annual Mitch Smith Memorial as part of Pennsylvania Speedweek on July 4 at 7:30 pm. And the race to honor Smith will pay a lucrative $20,000 to win out of a total purse worth almost $50,000. Richard D. "Mitch" Smith was the original "Mr. Excitement" of Pennsylvania sprint car lore. At Williams Grove Speedway alone he ended his four-decade long career in 1978 with 27 sprint car wins and nine super modified victories. But overall on his career, his checkered flags added up to 179. The name Mitch Smith became cemented nationally when in 1971 the "Little Guy" from Linglestown trounced the boasting stars of the United States Auto Club, not once, but three times when they towed into the region. In 1971, USAC was to sprint car racing what the World of Outlaws is today. USAC competition was the way to Indy. The USAC circuit groomed its drivers to sit on the Indy 500 starting grid. And start they did. But on June 19 and September 25 at Williams Grove Speedway in 1971 and again on July 17 at Selinsgrove Speedway, Mitch Smith used a rarely doled out temporary racing permit issued by USAC to just a few local drivers to beat the traveling band badly. The USAC stars were furious. Protests were lodged and tear-downs were performed. All was legal. Smith had beaten the unquestionable best in the sprint car business not once, not twice but three times. The word went out. "The Linglestown Leadfoot" Mitch Smith, had trounced USAC in Central Pennsylvania. Smith retired from the sport in 1978 and in 1988 at the age of 58 was felled by a massive heart attack. In 1995 Mitch Smith was inducted posthumously into the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame in Knoxville, Iowa. It is the legacy left behind and the impact that Smith had on the sport in the region and at Williams Grove Speedway that the oval honors again this year with the running of the 37th annual Mitch Smith Memorial on Friday night. Anthony Macri is the defending winner of the prestigious Mitch Smith Memorial. Lance Dewease is the winningest driver in Smith Memorial history, having scored wins in 1992, 1995, 1997, 2001, 2018 and in 2021. Fred Rahmer has four Smith Memorials to his credit along with the late Greg Hodnett. Stevie Smith won the inaugural event in 1989.

  Chad Trout Gets First Williams Grove Sprint Win - Kevin Thomas Jr. Wins USAC

  Mechanicsburg - Chad Trout of Dover got his elusive first career 410 sprint car win at Williams Grove Speedway on Friday night, taking home over $5,600 for the victory. The longtime oval supporter already owned four limited sprint wins at the track. In the USAC Eastern Storm 410 sprint car feature, Kevin Thomas Jr. of Cullman, Alabama, took the $6,000 win to score his third such career triumph at the speedplant in USAC action. The 25-lap 410 sprint car main would go non-stop with Trout leading every lap from the pole position. Second starter Austin Bishop chased the leader all through the event and although he was able to narrow Trout's advantage in traffic he was never able to mount a challenge for the win. Ryan Newton raced hard with Bishop for the second spot for the first half of the race before settling into third spot. Hard racing for the fourth spot took place during the final 10 laps as Troy Wagaman Jr., Brock Zearfoss, Justin Whittall, Lance Dewease and Freddie Rahmer all tried to secure the position, running just car lengths apart as they traversed the oval. Zearfoss held the spot for several laps and even challenged Newton for third at times but eventually fell victim to 10th starter Wagaman's advances. In the end Trout scored the win over Bishop, Newton, Wagaman and Zearfoss. Sixth through 10th went to Whittall, 17th starter Dewease, Rahmer, Chase Dietz and TJ Stutts. Heats went to Trout, Bishop and Newton with Jordan Thomas scoring the last chance race. The start of the 30-lap USAC main was marred by two red flags. The first occurred before a lap could be recorded for a flipping JT Ferry in the third turn. And on the ensuring attempt at a first lap, a double flip in the third turn by Abby Hohlbein and Mike Haggenbottom stopped action once more. Luckily all drivers escaped injury. Thomas led the first 21 laps after action got going with Jake Swanson chasing in the second spot. But Swanson lost the position with eight laps to go when USAC point leader Kyle Cummins of Princeton, Indiana, raced into second. Cummins was unable to challenge Thomas for the win however 10th starter Briggs Danner proved a challenge to Swanson late in the race after taking third with four laps to go. Thomas scored the win by .397 seconds over Cummins, Danner, Swanson and Justin Grant. Sixth through 10th went to Steve Drevicki, Hayden Reinbold, Mitchel Moles, Gunnar Setser and Kale Drake. Heats went to Daison Pursley, Justin Grant and Robert Ballou. Moles set fast time with a lap of 19.246 seconds. Feature Finishes 6/20/25 410 sprint cars, 25 laps: 1. Chad Trout, 2. Austin Bishop, 3.

  Dewease Beats Dietrich For Grove All Stars Paxton Classic 8K Win - Jackson sweeps wingless sportsman mains

  Mechanicsburg - Lance Dewease of Fayetteville turned back 11th starter Danny Dietrich to win the All Stars Circuit of Champions Sprints Lynn Paxton EMMR Legends Classic at Williams Grove Speedway on Friday night. The 30-lap, $8,000 win was the 116th of Dewease's illustrious career at the oval and his 11th at the speedplant over the traveling All Stars series. In twin 20-lap wingless super sportsman mains, Tony Jackson proved victorious to sweep both events. Dewease earned the pole for the All Stars Paxton Classic by winning the dash and he was flanked by Ryan Smith for the start. Aboard the Kreitz No. 69K, Smith drove into the lead when action began with Dewease second and Justin Whittall racing third. Dewease stalked the leader during the early going and when Smith entered the backmarkers on the 13th tour, he was there to challenge. It was clear that Smith was struggling to maintain the lead as the race wore on and with 14 laps to go, Dewease used a smooth bottom lane run to take control away. At the same time, 11th starter Danny Dietrich of Gettysburg was blistering through the pack and on lap 18 he took the second spot away from Smith before setting his sights on leader Dewease who at that point held a 1.5 second advantage. Dietrich continually whittled away at that advantage and with three laps left it was down to about a half-second. And a lap later is when Dietrich took his shot for control with a low swoop into the first turn. Dietrich pushed the nose of his No. 48 past Dewease's No. 12 momentarily before Dewease rode his high line momentum back into control on the backchute. A bobble on the cushion by Dietrich as the pair came to the white flag then allowed Dewease to snare the win by .875 seconds. Smith rode home third followed by Chase Dietz and Freddie Rahmer. Sixth through 10th went to Brock Zearfoss, Troy WagamanJr., Whittall, Chad Trout and Kody Hartlaub. Kalib Henry was the highest finishing All Star with an 11th place run. Heats went to Dietrich, Zane DeVault, Rahmer and Whittall with Aaron Bollinger claming the B Main. Dewease won the dash. A strong field of 40 cars spun off time trials with Smith taking the $300 Fast Tees Fast Time Award with a lap of 16.654 seconds. Tony Jackson started fifth in the make-up wingless sportsman main run early in the night and took the lead from Chad Thomas on the third circuit. Jackson began seventh in the second main of the night and drove by leader Brandon Shearer on lap seven for his second victory of the night.
