MILL HALL, PA – Andrew Yoder and Brandon Moser were victorious again in the Limited Late Model and Pro Stock divisions respectively, at the Clinton County Speedway on Friday night.   “We really like racing here,” said Yoder in victory lane.  Mike “Smith gave us a really good clean race and I didn’t know if I would be able to get around him or not.”  Moser is another driver who knows his way around Clinton County and picked up another Pro Stock victory.  Mac Wert won his career first 270 Micro A-Main.  In 600 Micro completion, Dexter Strawser won the make-up event while Timmy Bittner won the regular feature.  Justin Williamson won the four cylinder event and Chelsie Harris won the four cylinder junior division. 

Nick Loffredo and Jeremy Ohl started on the front row of the 25 lap event.  Ohl led the opening laps of the event with fourth place starter Andrew Yoder in pursuit.   An accident on lap number six brought out the caution flag.   While under caution, Ohl and Yoder both went to the pits and were able to rejoin at the rear of the field.   Mike Smith inherited the lead for the lap seven restart.  Smith held onto the top spot with Loffredo, Jakob Piper, Denny Founey and Tim Luben in the top five.  

While running second Loffredo brought out the caution on lap number eight, as Yoder began to make his charge back up through the field.   Smith again executed a flawless restart while Piper ran in a close second place.   By the halfway point, Smith was leading Piper, Yoder, Luben and Kaiden Bard.   On lap number 14, Yoder moved into second, then battled Smith for the lead.  Two circuits later, Yoder made the winning pass.  A caution with four laps remaining, gave Piper the opportunity to wrestle the runner up position away from Smith, who finished third followed by Loffredo and Fourney.  Sixth through tenth were Len Stroud, Tim Luben, Kaiden Bard, Ronnie Laubcher and Joe Loffredo.  Heat races were won by Piper and Ohl.

AJ Hoffman started on the outside of the front row and out-dueled Kevin VanAmburg for the lead of the Pro Stock feature event.   Hoffman received challenges from AY Schilling and Noah Jensen as the front runners.   By lap number 5, sixth place starter Brandon Moser added his car into the mix.  Moser passed Jensen then Schilling by the midway point of the race.   Hoffman continued to lead until lap number 12 when Moser made his pass for the lead.   Hoffman battled Jensen for second, Hoffman bobbled on the final lap, allowing Jensen to claim second and Corey Long to get third.  Hoffman settled for fourth and VanAmburg was fifth.  Sixth through tenth were Robert Tressler, Rooster Peters, Schilling, Gary Mellott and Kris Orwig Sr.  Qualifying events were won by Long and Jensen.

James Bilger and Mac Wert lead the field of 270 Micro Sprints to the green flag.   Wert got the jump at the start and led fourth place starter Denny Rhinehimer by the completion of the first circuit. Wert maintained the lead even after a few restarts as a result of early race cautions.   Timmy Bittner, who started seventh moved into third by lap number seven.   The top three remained unchanged to the checkered flag,  Nick Whitsel finished fourth and Mike Schuckers was fifth.  Sixth through tenth were Skeetz Hockenbrock, Brayden Spencer, Bobby Sanso, Mitchell Holden and Doug Rhineard.

In the 600 Micro Sprints, a make up feature had  Dexter Stawser and Trevor Teats start on the front row.  Stawser took command of the field with Teats and Derek Swartz in pursuit.   Jeffrey Weaver began moving forward and eventually passed Swartz and Teats.  Stawser was too strong and held off Weaver for the win, Teats finished third, with Sierra Hauck and Cody Hauck rounding out the top five.   Sixth through tenth were Derek Swart, Dustin Roberts, Timmy Bittner, who rallied after a flip on the opening lap, Bryce Harro and Mitchell Holden.

In the regular 600 feature event, Jeff Gyunia and Dexter Strawser led the field to the green flag.  Gyunia led the opening lap with Derek Swartz, Timmy Bittner, Trevor Teats and Cody Hauck in the top five.   Gyunia tried to distance himself from the rest of the field.   A caution on lap number eleven gave Bittner the opportunity he needed.   He was able to make the pass coming out of turn number two and took the lead from Gyunia.   Hauck followed Bittner and was able to claim second. Swartz was third, Gyunia fourth and Jeffrey Weaver was fifth.  Sixth through tenth were Stawser, Josh Beamer, Sierra Hauck, Dustin Roberts and Brain Kramer. 

Jon Bower led the opening lap of the four cylinder main event.   Two early race cautions helped Justin Williamson worked his way up through the field.  Williamson who started twelfth, took the lead by the mid way point and cruised to his first win this season.   Bower settled for second, third was Blake Snyder followed by Scott Englert and Jimmy Moyer. 

In the junior division Chelsie Harris used her outside front row starting spot to lead the initial lap.  Harris led every lap of the junior division race.  Nick Snook made a last lap pass to take second away from Gavin Bilby.  Chole Smith and Dakota Hamilton completed the top five.

Mill Hall, PA – Jeffrey Weaver and Robert Tressler, both from Lock Haven were victorious at the Clinton County Speedway on Friday night in the 270 and Pro Stock divisions, respectively.   Mother Nature then claimed the remaining three feature events of the night for the 600 Micro Sprints, RaceSaver Sprints, and the four-cylinder divisions. 

Aidan Adams and Denny Rinehimer lead the full field of 270 Micro Sprints to the green flag of their 15 lap main event.   Rinehimer led the first circuit with sixth place starter Bobby Sanso in second followed by Adams and Dan Wertman. 

Sanso pressured Rinehimer for the lead but was unable to make the pass for the lead.  Meanwhile, Weaver, who started in 10^th was charging towards the front of the field.   On lap number 7, the red flag waved when Tom Quiggle rolled his car onto its side.  Quiggle was ok and able to restart the race.   With the restart, Rinehimer led Sanso, Weaver Adams, and Timmy Bittner as the top five competitors.   On lap number ten Weaver made a bid for the runner up position and was able to pass Sanso.  With two laps remaining, Rinehimer appeared to have the stronger car, but misfortune struck as the cars entered turn three.  Something mechanical failed on Rinehimer’s cars causing him to slow coming through turns 3 and 4 which brought out the caution giving Weaver the lead.   On the same lap, Mike Shuckers broke into the top five. 

Weaver went on to lead the final two circuits to claim the victory.  Shuckers used the restart to advance his position, moving from fifth to second in the final two laps.  Sanso finished third, Timmy Bittner was fourth and Brayden Kuhn claimed fifth with a pass on the final lap.  Sixth through tenth were Skeetz Hockenbrock, Mac Wert, Troy Whitesel, Logan Hammaker, and Hunter Zimmerman.  Heat Races were won by Weaver, Wertman and Bittner.  

The Pro Stock feature was given the green flag with Brad Benton and Gary Mellott starting on the front row.   Benton led the opening laps when a caution occurred on lap three involving Rich Fye and Todd Geyer.   On the restart Benton maintained his position in front but had lots of company and several challenges for the lead.  At one moment seven cars were contending for the win, battling two and three wide for several laps.   By the completion of lap number five, Benton edged out Noah Jensen to lead the lap, but with Gary Mellott, AY Schilling, Brandon Moser, Cory Long, AJ Hoffman and Ray Rothfuss all within inches of one another while swapping positions.   Tressler, who started eighth, took over the second spot on lap number eight and made the winning pass on lap number nine.   With eleven laps complete of the 15 lap feature, it started to rain.   The cars were taken off the track and the event was checkered.  Tressler was declared the winner over AY Schilling, Brandon Moser, AJ Hoffman, and Ray Rothfuss.  Sixth through tenth were Cory Long, Noah Jensen, Logan Hile, Rich Fye and Marc Bitler.  Heat races were won by Benton and Moser.  

Due to the time of the shower, it was deemed that the track could not be run before the speedway’s curfew so the remainder of the event was cancelled.   600 Micro Sprint Qualifiers were won by Timmy Bittner and Jeffrey Weaver.  Sprint Car Heats were won by Daven Brenam, Scott Lutz and Garrett Bard.  4 Cylinder Heats were won by Sam Creveling, Blake Snyder, and John Bower. 

The Clinton County Speedway will return on Friday, June 25^th with a five division show.  The Limited Late Models will be the feature event with the Pro Stocks, 270 Micro Sprints, the Four Cylinders, and double features for the 600 Micro Sprints.   Gates will open at 5PM and Racing begins at 7:30PM.  For the latest speedway information visit us at www.clintoncountyspeedway.com  or follow us on Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter.

Mill Hall, PA – Linden’s Dakota Schweikart grew up watching his father Dale Schweikart race at their hometown track, Clinton County Speedway.  The father-duo finished first and second on several occasions with Dale as the winner as recently as two weeks ago.  However, this past Friday night, Dakota Schweikart was able to get the job done, advancing from his seventh place starting spot to win his first career sprint car feature at Clinton County.   Other winners of the night included Brandon Moser of Milerstown, in the Pro Stocks, Jeffrey Weaver of Lock Haven in the 270 Micro Sprints, Derek Swartz of Jersey Shore in the 600 Micro Sprints, and Blake Snyder of Montgomery in the 4-Cylinders.

Jeffrey Weaver of Lock Haven and Josh Beamer of Picture Rocks, led the field of sprint cars to the green flag for the 25 lap main event.    Weaver took the early lead with fourth place starter Ryan Lynn of Holidaysburg in pursuit.   By the third circuit, defending track champion and 2020 IMCA National champion Garrett Bard of Wells Tannery took over the third spot and began to pressure Lynn.  On that same lap Dakota Schweikart moved into the top five.  

Weaver at times maintained a half of a straight away advantage over Lynn, Bard, Josh Beamer and Schweikart, as the leaders began to encounter lapped traffic.  The event’s first caution occurred on lap number 14 for Frank Rusnock. 

The event’s final caution occurred on lap number 17 when Dave Guss Jr. and Quinn Roberts spun coming out of turn number four.   Dakota Schweikart was able to use the restart as an opportunity to wrestle the third position away from Bard, as Dale Schweikart moved into the top five.   On lap number 19, Dakota Schweikart was able to pass Lynn for second and he set his sites on catching Weaver.  As the field got the two laps to go sign from the flag stand, Schweikart made the winning pass.   Weaver finished second, Lynn was third, Dale Schweikart claimed fourth on the final lap with Bard rounding out the top five.  Sixth through tenth were Ken Duke Jr., Aaron Jacobus, Scott Lutz, Derick Hauck, and John Walp.   Heat races were won by Aaron Jacobus, Dakota Schweikart and John Walp.

Gary Mellott of Flemington started on the pole for the Pro Stock feature event and led the opening lap.   Second place starter Ray Rothfuss claimed the lead by the completion of lap number two.   As Rothfuss continued to lead the race, the battle between fifth and sixth place starters, Cory Long and Brandon Moser became contested.   The pair of drivers raced hard for the runner up position lap after lap.   Following a caution on lap number 7 for Gary Mellott and Noah Jensen, the field regroup on the back bumper of Rothfuss.   At the race’s midway point, Moser was able to take second place from Long, as AY Schilling, and AJ Stroup ran in the top five.   On lap number 13, Moser took the top spot from Rothfuss who then had to contend with Long, Schilling and Stroup.   Coming to the checkered flag, Moser was in control of the field, while Rothfuss, Long and Schilling battled for second.  Rothfuss drifted high coming out of turn four, allowing Long to finish second, Schilling was third, Rothfuss was fourth and AJ Stroup was fifth.  Sixth through tenth were Robert Tressler, Brad Myers, Noah Jensen, Rich Fye, and Jason Smith.   Heat races were won by Schilling and Moser.

Levi Brungard of Mill Hall and Denny Rinehimer led the field of 270 Micro Sprints to the green flag.  Rinehimer took the lead with fourth place starter Bobby Sanso of Jersey Shore on his back bumper.   The field began to encounter lapped traffic by the completion of lap number five with Rinehimer leading Sanso, Skeetz Hockenbrock, Jeffrey Weaver and Hunter Zimmerman.  By the completion of lap number nine Weaver took the runner up position from Sanso.  

Rinehimer led every lap and appeared to be on his way to claiming his first win of the season.  As the driver entered the third and fourth turns, misfortune struck as the car suffered a mechanical issue to bring out the caution.   Weaver inherited the lead with one lap to go and held off the challenges from Sanso, Hockenbrock Whitesel and Nick Whitesel.  Sixth through tenth were Gary Keister, Logan Hammaker, Matt Dixson, Tom Quiggle and Dan Wertman.    Heat races were won by Nick Whitesel, Weaver, and Rinehimer. 

Derek Swartz of Jersey Shore started on the pole of the 600 Micro Sprint feature event.   Schwartz led the first lap with Cody Hauck, Jeffrey Weaver, Ethan Spots and Sierra Hauck in the top five.    On lap number four, Spotts moved into the third position.  At the midway point of the race, the top five remained unchanged.   Swartz led every lap but did not want to see a caution which occurred on lap number 12 when Josh Beamer’s car stopped.   The restart gave Cody Hauck an opportunity, but Schwartz was flawless on the restart and went on to claim his first career win over Hauck, Spotts, Sierra Hock and Timmy Bittner.   Weaver finished sixth, Dustin Roberts was seventh, Dexter Strawser was eighth, Mitchell Holden was ninth, and Josh Beamer finished tenth.  Heat race winners were Sierra Hauck and Ethan Spotts.

On the opening lap of the four cylinder feature event, pole sitter Dylan Craft rolled his car several times in turn number two.  The driver was uninjured.   Upon the restart, Scott Englert took the lead over John Bower with Maddox Smith, Keith Haagen and Jimmy Moyer in the top five.   Smith made the pass for the lead by the completion of lap number five as eighth place starter Blake Snyder moved into the top five.   On lap number eight, Smith led Snyder, Moyer, and Tim Raup.  As Smith exited turn number four and appeared to be on his way to victory, something broke in the motor allowing Blake Snyder to take the win over Raup, Moyer, Sam Creveling and Corey Small.   Smith crossed the finish line in sixth, followed by Mike Helper, Skyler Witchley, Joey Snook, and Kyle Strouse.  Heat races were won by Small, Emily Brouse and Tim Raup.
