Twenty-seven RaceSaver Sprint Cars signed in for the competition on Friday night.   Austin Greenland and Ian Cummings brought the field up to speed at the drop of the green flag.  Fourth place starter, John Walp used the outside line to power to the front to lead the opening lap with sixth place starter Dylan Proctor of Lock Haven following in the runner up position.   Bard who started tenth was also using the top side of the speedway to advance up through the field.   By lap number five, Bard was in second with Josh Beamer, Procter and Greenland running in the top five.   Two cautions on laps seven and eight slowed the field briefly, with Walp being strong on both restarts.  

On the eleventh circuit, Walp, Bard and Beamer maintained the top three positions while fifth place starter Devin Brennan and twelfth place starter Jared Zionkowski cracked into the top five as the leaders were weaving through lapped traffic.   On lap number eighteen, Bard passed Walp while in lapped traffic to make the winning move.   The final caution of the race occurred on lap number 21 when Beamer’s car stopped on the speedway.   Bard held off Walp’s challenges on the restart to claim the victory over Walp Brennan, Zionkowski and Dominic Melair.  Sixth through tenth were Scott Lutz, Austin Greenland, Dylan Proctor, who was called for a jump on the last restart, Jeffrey Weaver and Mike Melair.  Heat races were won by Dustin Prettyleaf, Dominic Melair, and Beamer.  Weaver won the B-Main.

Ray Rothfuss started on the outside of the front row and commanded the Pro Stock feature main event.  The event was red flagged on lap number four when Robert Tressler tangled with two cars and rolled down the front straightaway.  All drivers were ok.   Following the restart, Rothfuss continued to pace the field with AJ Hoffman running second, followed by Corey Long, Brandon Moser and Noah Jensen.  Long took over the runner up position on the final lap, Moser was second followed by Kris Orwig and Rich Fye.  Heats were won by John Bouse and Robert Tressler.

Aiden Adams took the lead from his second starting position in the 270 Micro Sprint feature.   Adams held off the early race challenges from pole sitter Tyler Clowes.  Jeffrey Weaver and Skeetz Hockenbrock, worked their way up through the field and as both started deep in the back.  Weaver moved into the runner up position on lap number nine, as Hockenbrock took over fourth.   Following a lap twelve restart, Adams spun in turns one and two from an apparent mechanical failure forcing him to the pits and giving the lead to Weaver.  Weaver cruised to the victory over Hockenbrock.  Shane Musser charged from sixteenth to finish third, Dan Wertman was fourth and Cory Stable was fifth.  Heats were won by Weaver, Shawn McAndrew, and Adams.

Treavor Teats started on the pole of the 600 Micro Sprint feature event and took the early lead.  Third place starter Johnny Smith chased down Teats as the duo battled wheel to wheel for several laps.  Smith officially led lap number seven Teats passed him back on the following lap.   At the halfway point, Teats led Smith, Cody Hauck, Timmy Bittner, and Dexter Strawser.   Following a lap ten restart, the top three were in contention for the win.   Smith made a last lap pass for the win over Teats, Hauck, Bittner and Strawser.   Heats were won by Teats and Strawser.

Joey Snook led the opening lap of the Four Cylinder feature event.   Fourth place starter Dylan Craft took the lead by the completion of lap number two.   Keith Haagen advanced from seventh to move into second on lap number three.  At the race’s midway point Craft led Haggen, Maddox Smith, Tyler Watson, and Blake Snyder.   The top five remained unchanged for the remainder of the event with Craft claiming his first win of the season.  Heat races were won by John Bower, Watson, and Scott Englert.

Pole sitter Dexter Strawser led the first lap of the 600 Micro Sprint feature event over Sierra Hauck, Dustin Roberts, Timmy Bittner, and Cody Hauck.  Strawser began to distance himself from the field, as Sierra Hauck and Timmy Bittner battled for the runner up position.  Bittner took over second place by lap number 5 and set his sights on reeling in Strawser who had a sizable lead.  Meanwhile, Jeffrey Weaver moved into the top five.   As the race continued caution free, Bittner was gaining on Strawser with the completion of every lap.  On lap number eleven, Bittner caught Strawser and on the next circuit, made the pass for the lead.  Bittner appeared to be on his way to another sweep of the micro sprint feature events.  As he was encountering lapped traffic on lap number 13, Bittner spun and brought out the caution.   Weaver took over the top spot with Strawser, Cody Hauck, Dustin Robert, and Sierra Hauck restarting in the top five.  Weaver held off Strawser for the win over Roberts, Sierra Hauck, and Cody Hauck.  Sixth through tenth were Ethan Spotts, Timmy Bittner, Jeff Gyuina, Michell Holden, and Dan Tripoli.        Heat races were won by Cody Hauck and Strawser.

Mill Hall – The Clinton County Speedway kicked off the Fourth of July weekend with a Sprint Car double header.  Garrett Bard of Wells Tannery and Ken Duke Jr of Selinsgrove each claimed a victory over a stellar field of RaceSaver sprint cars.  AY Schilling of Linden won the Pro Stock feature while Timmy Bittner of Beech Creek scored a pair of victories, claiming the 270 and 600 Micro Sprint feature events. 

The first sprint car feature had Garrett Bard and Josh Beamer on the front row of the 25 lap main event.   Bard jumped to the early lead with Beamer, Dale Schweikart, John Walp and Dustin Prettyleaf in pursuit.   With a full field of racecars, Bard and company quickly caught the back of the pack by the fourth circuit and began working their way through lapped traffic.   On lap number six, Beamer was closing in on Bard and while trying to keep pace with Bard through lapped traffic, he attempted to put a slide job on a lapped car, but the two cars tangled causing Andrew Boyer’s car to flip in turn number two.   Beamer suffered a flat tire and had to go to the pits. 

Bard, Walp, Schweikart, Prettyleaf and Jared Zionkowski were the top five, as the green flag waved for the restart.   Again, Bard was strong on the restart and quickly caught the rear of the field by the completion of lap number ten.  Zionkowski, who started twelfth, was the driver on the move and utilized the top side of the speedway to maneuver through the lapped traffic.  A late race caution occurred on lap number 17, when Jeffrey Weaver spun in turn number four.   Bard was flawless on this restart and was able to hold off the challenges of Walp for the win.   Zionkowski finished third, Schweikart was fourth and Ryan Lynn completed the top five.  Sixth through tenth were Dustin Prettyleaf, Devin Brenam, Andrew Jacobus, Scott Lutz, and Ken Duke.

In the second RaceSaver Sprint Car event, Scott Lutz started on the pole position and led the field to the green flag.   Second place starter Ken Duke and fourth place starter Jared Zionkowski chased Lutz during the opening laps.  Duke pressured Lutz for several laps, as the duo ran wheel to wheel for the top position.   Duke finally executed the pass for the lead by the completion of lap number eight.   Eighth place starter, Robbie Bartchy worked his way into the top five and was quickly advancing towards the front.   The event ran non-stop till the first caution occurred on lap number 21, when Dominic Meliar and Josh Beamer spun.  On the restart, several cars tangled to bring out the event’s second caution flag.  Duke brought the field back to speed as Lutz and Bartchy battled for the runner up position.  When the checkered flag waved, Duke claimed his seventh career victory as the speedway over Bartchy took second away from Lutz, followed by Zionkowski and Walp.  Sixth through tenth were Dale Schweikart, Mike Alleman, Derek Hauck, Ryan Lynn, and Tylor Cochran.  Four heat races and a B-main were needed for the field of 33 Sprints.  Heats were won by Bartchy, Alleman, Duke and Zionkowski.  Mike Melair won the B-Main. 

Lady driver Sierra Hauck led the opening laps of the 600 Micro Sprint feature event.  Fourth place starter Timmy Bittner quickly took over the second spot.  On lap number three, the red flag came out when Kyle Knopp rolled his sprint car.   Hauck led the field of gentlemen for two more circuits, until Timmy Bittner took the top position.  Cody Hauck followed Bittner and shuffled Sierra Hauck back to third.   The remainder of the event went caution free, with Bittner holding off the husband-wife duo of Cody and Sierra Hauck, Dexter Strawser and Jeffrey Weaver.  Sixth through tenth were Jeff Gyuina, Travis Kelser, Mitchell Holden, James Layton and Knopp.  Heats were won by Weaver and Cody Hauck.

Cory Stabley and Mitchell Holden led the field of 270 Micro Sprints to the green flag.  Stabley led the first three laps.  Following a lap three caution, seventh place starter Timmy Bittner made a pass on the restart to take the top position.  Jeffrey Weaver who started tenth followed Bittner to take the runner up position.  At the halfway mark of the event, Bittner led Weaver, Stabley, Skeetz Hockenbrock and Bobby Sanso.   A lap twelve caution slowed the field, but Bittner was too strong for Weaver on the restart and claimed the win to sweep, both micro sprint victories on the evening.   “This is the second time, we have been able to win both features in one night,” said an excited Bittner in victory lane.  Weaver finished second, followed by Hockenbrock.  Shaun Musser made a late race charge to finish fourth with Sanso completing the top five.   Sixth through tenth were Zachery Glass, Corey Stabley, Logan Hammaker, Matthew Dixon, and Mac Wert.  Heat races were won by Hockenbrock, Bittner and Glass. 

In Pro Stock competition, AY Schilling and Robert Tressler started on the front row.   Tressler took command of the field to lead the opening laps of the event.   Third place starter Noah Jensen edged out Schilling at the start-finish line for the runner up position, as the two racers battled for the runner up position.   Schilling finally took over the position on lap number five.   A caution on lap number seven, bunched the field on Tressler’s rear bumper.   Schilling used the restart to his advantage and made a pass for the lead as the cars raced down the back stretch.   Schilling maintained a slim lead, as three cars were battling for second.  Corey Long, who started fifth, joined Tressler and Jensen for a contested battle for second place. On lap number thirteen, Long took over second.  On the final lap, Schilling held off long, while Tressler rallied for third over a heated battle with Jensen who finished fourth and Brandon Moser finished fifth.  “The competition in this division is the strongest it has ever been,” said Schilling.  “I’m just thankful to finally get back to victory lane.”  Sixth through tenth were Jason Smith, Rooster Peters, Kris Orwig Sr., Gary Mellott and Todd Geyer.  Heat races were won by Long and Moser.

The four cylinder feature was curfewed out after running two laps and will be completed on a later date.  Heat races were won by Jimmy Moyer, Maddox Smith, and John Bower

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.
