Kyler Stahl started on the pole of the 4-Cylinder feature event.  Stahl led the first two laps, then third place starter Matt Weaver took the lead.   The caution came out on lap four for debris and Zak Kline’s car pulled into the infield.   Weaver led the field back to the green but with plenty of competition as Stahl and Coty Maines made it a three car race for the lead.   Lapped traffic became a factor in the closing laps, with Weaver claiming his second consecutive feature event over Kyler Stahl, Coty Maines, Terry Karichner and Summer Beachel.  Heats were won by Beachel and Weaver.

The East Coast Legends Series inverted the top 12 finishers for the start of their second feature event.  Grady McGrew started on the outside of the front row and took the early lead.   Seth Kearchner quickly moved to the front and was running second by lap number six.   On lap number seven, the red flag came out for the car of Benjamin Morrow, when it caught on fire going into turn number two.   Morrow was ok.   Devin Friese who started 12 worked his way through the field and was up to second by lap number nine.   A lap later he passed McGrew for the lead and led the final 6 laps to claim his second victory of the season.   McGrew held onto second followed by Seth Kearchner, Scott Houdeschell, and Colton Friese.  Sixth through tenth were Darren Lucas, Justin Wagaman, Scott Spidle, Dalton Friese and Kelby Friese.

Mill Hall, PA – The Clinton County Speedway has partnered again with local brewer, Lee Powers and his Floating Feathers Brewing Company of Mill Hall to produce its own beer. 

“For the second year, we are releasing a beer that features the winner of our annual 410 Sprint Car race, the Phil Walter Classic, which is coming up in August,” says Jason McCahan, speedway promoter.  “Dale Blaney of Hartford, OH won last year’s racing event, so he has earned his place on our beer can.”

The beer is a 16-ounce pilsner.  The can features a checkered flag background with the Clinton County Speedway and Floating Feathers Brewing Company logos as well as a picture of Blaney’s #32 410 Sprint Car. 

“Working with Lee and his staff, we came up with the idea of a special beer for our largest race of the season,” says McCahan. “Last year we featured Billy Dietrich of Aspers, PA who won our race in 2022 and it was a huge hit with our fans and sold out quickly.”

Floating Feathers Brewing Company is producing 750 cans for this year’s event.  Fans can pre-order the beer at https://forms.office.com/r/rvvt3JXpfE.  The link is also available on the speedway’s Facebook page.  Fans who pre-order the beer will be able to pick it up at the Floating Feather’s beer truck during the Phil Walter Classic on Saturday, August 10^th.  Cans of the limited edition beer are being sold as a single can or in a four pack.

“We are very excited at Floating Feathers to provide locally made beers and ciders with local ingredients for our local speedway,” says Lee Powers, “Giving back proceeds of every beer to improve our local track is important to us.  Come out and enjoy the fast-paced action of the Phil Walter Classic with a Floating Feathers brewski.”
