Joe Lusk of Jersey Shore and Yoder started on the front row of the 25 lap feature event.   The duo raced side by side into turn number one at the drop of the green flag.  “I knew Joe would be hard to pass,” said Yoder “I tried the outside and hoped that it would stick.”  Yoder’s pass worked and allowed him to choose his preferred line in the middle of the track as they raced through turns three and four.    Yoder began to encounter lapped traffic on lap number seven, with Lusk, Jim Yoder of Selinsgrove, Tim Luben of Mill Hall and Mike Smith of Renovo in the top give.   Yoder was able to open up a half a straight-a-way lead over Lusk.  At the race’s half-way point, Yoder was trying to work through lapped traffic, and Lusk began to close in on the leader.  The caution flag waved on lap number 14, when Len Stroud of Jersey Shore spun in turn number 4.  

Yoder had a flawless restart and continued to lead the remaining laps to earn the victory.  Lusk finished second, followed by Jim Yoder, Mike Smith, Joe Loffredo.  Denny Fourney of Lock Haven was sixth, Tim Luben was seventh, Len Stroud was eighth and Kaiden Bard was nineth.  Heats were won by Andrew Yoder and Jim Yoder.

On the final lap Rinehimer drifted high coming out of turn number two and lost two positions, allowing Rotz and Glass to move into the third and fourth positions.  The win for Weaver was his 30^th career victory in 270 Micro Sprint competition.  Sixth through tenth were Aidan Adams, Bobby Sanso, Dan Wertman, Logan Hammaker and Matthew Dixson.  Heat races were won by Hockenbrock, Weaver and Timmy Bittner.

Nate Stroup and Noah Jensen of Nescopeck comprised the front row of the 15 lap Pro Stock feature event.  Jensen took the early command of the field.  By lap number five, 4^th place starter Brandon Moser took the runner up position from Stroup and set his sites on Jensen while Jason Gessman and AY Schilling were running in the top five.  The caution flag came out on lap number 7 for Brad Myers, Kevin VanAmburg and Gary Mellott.  Moser restarted along side of Jensen as they battled for lead racing into

turns 1 and 2.  Moser took the lead at the completion of lap number eight.   On lap ten, a second caution came out for Brad Benton who slowed on the front stretch.   Moser continued to lead following the restart, while Jensen was trying everything to get by the leader.  On lap number 13, Jensen brushed against the front stretch wall, allowing several cars to get by him.   At the checkered flag it was Moser with the win over Gessman, Schilling, Corey Long, and Stroup.  Sixth through tenth were Jensen, Robert Tressler, Rich Fye, Rooster Peters, and Gary Mellott.  Heat races were won by Long and Gessman.

In 600 Micro Sprint action, Jeffrey Weaver and his sister, Sierra Weaver Hauck started on the front row of the feature event.   Jeffrey led the opening lap, with third place starter, Johnny Smith running second.  Smith made the winning pass on Weaver by the completion of lap number two with Sierra Hauck, Timmy Bittner and Cody Hauck rounding out the top five.  Bitner moved into the third position on lap number eight.  On lap number eleven, the caution came out when Bitner’s car blew an engine. 

The caution caused a one lap shootout to the finish.  Smith held off the challenges of Weaver to claim his second win a row.  Weaver finished second, Cody Hauck was third followed by Sierra Hauck and Dustin Roberts.  The heat race was won by Jeffrey Weaver.

Blake Snyder and Keith Haggen started on the front row of the 4-Cylinder feature event.   Snyder took the early lead and battled with Dylan Craft. Craft was credited with leading the third lap, but Snyder powered by Craft to regain the lead on lap number 4.   Haggen moved back into the runner up position on the same lap. Mike Luther challenged Haggen for the runner up position and eventually moved into second on lap number 9.  The duo continued in a contested race for second, with Haggen making a last lap pass to finish second behind Snyder.  Luther finished third, Kris Shirk was fourth and Dylan Craft finished fifth.  Sixth through tenth were Nick Goutile, Chris Small, Brett Shirk, Skylar Witchley, and Seth Derr.  Heats were won by Snyder and Haggen.

Aaron Jacobus of Corning, NY and Bard started on the front row of the 25 lap feature event. At the drop of the green flag, Bard jumped into the lead while Jacobus battled with third place started Jeffrey Weaver of Lock Haven for the runner-up position.  On lap number 5, Bard chased down the back of the field and began to encounter lapped traffic.  Weaver moved into second on lap number eight with Reed Thompson, Ken Duke and Scott Lutz running in the top five. 

Bard continued to dice this way through lapped traffic as his #95 car could run low or high on the speedway surface.  “I was able to catch the cushion coming off of turn number 4 and the car handled really well tonight,” said Bard in Victory Lane.  As Bard raced this way through lapped traffic, Weaver was running a strong second, but the third through seventh place cars were contending for position.  Lutz and Dakota Schweikart were racing for the third and fourth positions while Ken Duke of Selinsgrove, Dale Schweikart of Linden and Reed Thompson of Petersburg were racing for 5^th.  On lap 22, Duke and Dale Schweikart were racing hard. The two cars touched and Schweikart’s car crashed on the front straightaway and rolled over bringing out the red flag. Schweikart was uninjured.

The restart provided the field one more opportunity to take the win from Bard with three laps remaining.  Bard was able to hold off the challenges of Weaver with Lutz, Dakota Schweikart and Ken Duke rounding out the top 5.  Sith through tenth were Jacobus, Reed Thompson, Josh Beamer, Matt Tebbs and Jarrett Clavaret.  Heat races were won by Weaver and Duke.

Kevin VanAmburg of Lock Haven and Kris Orwig Sr led the field of Pro Stock to the green flag for their 15 lap main event.  VanAmburg took the early lead with third place starter Nathan Stroup in second.  On lap number two, while running third, Orwig spun out in turn number two and caused a five car pile-up involving Robert Tressler, Rich Fye, Noah Jensen and Gary Mellott.  VanAmburg continued to lead upon the restart of the race, while the drivers running in second through fifth positions ran two and three-wide.  Brandon Moser, who started fifth moved into the third spot on lap three and took the second spot from Stroup on lap number eight.  On lap number nine Moser caught VanAmburg and took the lead, as Ray Rothfuss, who started seventh moved into third.  In the races closing laps, the Pro Stock drivers continued to race two and three-wide while swapping position.  When the checkered flag waved, Moser was the victor over Rothfuss, Noah Jensen, Nathan Stroup and Cory Long.  Heat races were won by Jensen and Rothfuss.

Hunter Zimmerman and Tom Quiggle held the front row position for the start of the 270 Micro Sprint feature.  By the completion of lap number one, Denny Rinehimmer advanced from his third place starting spot to lead the first circuit.   On the third lap, Jeffrey Weaver moved into second place and began to pressure Rinhimmer.  A lap later he made the pass for the lead with Rinehimer, Timmy Bittner, Shawn Musser and Wyatt Rotz running in the top five. 

At the races midway point, Rinehimer who was running in second slowed and returned his car to the pit area allowing defending track champion Timmy Bittner to set his sites on catching Weaver.  In the meantime, Rotz started moving forward and passed Bitner on lap number twelve.  After the completion of the 13^th lap, the yellow came out for Sam Chamberlin who stopped on the front stretch.  The caution set up a green-white-checkered scenario for Weaver, Rotz, Bittner, Musser, and Dan Wertman.  Weaver was getting pressure from Rotz as the white flag waved.  Rotz used the top side of the speedway and carried his momentum out of turn number two to power by Weaver going down the back stretch.  That pass earned Rotz his first win of year over Weaver Bittner, Musser and Wertman.  Bobby Sanso finished sixth followed by Zimmerman, Buddy Kramer, Logan Hammaker and Matthew Dixon.  Heat race were won by Weaver, Bittner and Quiggle.

For Immediate Release
February 24, 2021

Mill Hall, PA – Two Speedways in Central PA are joining forces to provide the biggest day of RaceSaver Sprint Car racing in the state of Pennsylvania.  The Clinton County Speedway and the Bloomsburg Fairground Raceway have a lot in common and promoters at both facilities are looking to create an epic day of racing on Saturday, October 2, 2021 and to attract RaceSaver Sprint Cars from multiple regions and states.

Both speedways are owned and operated by their fair associations and both are similarly sized as 3/8th mile ovals.  Interstate 80 joins the two speedways creating an easy one hour tow for race teams looking to pull off the double header.

The day will begin at the newly constructed Bloomsburg Fairgrounds Raceway.  The race will consist of the ARDC Midgets and the RaceSaver Sprint Cars.  The race is nostalgic as it brings back the Saturday afternoon event during the annual Bloomsburg Fair.  Gates will open at 8AM with racing beginning at 11AM.  The sprint cars will compete in a 25 lap feature paying $500 to win and $250 to start.  The event is sanctioned by the PA Sprint Car Series.
    
The feature race at Bloomsburg will be the first on the schedule of events allowing teams plenty of time to travel the 58 miles to the Clinton County Fairgrounds and Speedway.  

Clinton County Speedway will host the 2nd annual Nittany 40 for the RaceSaver Sprint Cars.  The event will feature time-trials, qualification races and a 40 lap feature event paying $800 to win and $400 to start.  The Laurel Highlands Sprint Series, the PA Sprint Car Series, and Mid-Atlantic Sprint Series are co-sanctioning the event.  Non-Qualifiers will also compete in a complete feature if more than 50 cars are in attendance.  In the addition to the sprints, the Pro Stocks will compete in the annual C.W. Smith Memorial with the 270 Micro Sprints, 600 Micro Sprints and the 4-Cylindrers.  Hot laps will begin at 5PM and time-trails will start at 5:30PM.  

“We are excited to offer the RaceSaver Sprint Cars this opportunity and be able to work closely with the Clinton County Speedway,” says Brian Wawroski of the Bloomsburg Fairgrounds Raceway.  “This will be the second appearance of the PA Sprint Car Series at our facility in 2021.”
The Clinton County Speedway hosts the RaceSaver Sprint as one of its premier events.  “We have had a number of our regular drivers express interest in pulling off the double-header,” adds Clinton County Speedway promoter, Jason McCahan.  “We are hopeful that working with Bloomsburg and the close proximity of the two speedways, that both speedways will be able to attract drivers from neighboring states.  This may be the single largest day of racing for the RaceSaver Sprints cars on the East Coast.”
The Bloomsburg Fairgrounds Raceway is located at the Bloomsburg Fairgrounds, 620 West Third Street, Bloomsburg ,PA.  More information about the Raceway can be obtained at www.bloomsburgfair.com  or  racing@bloomsburgfair.com

The Clinton County Speedway is located at the Clinton County Fairgrounds, 98 Racetrack Road, Mill Hall, PA.  More information about the speedway can be obtained at www.clintoncountyspeedway.com

Camping is available at both facilities.

Mill Hall, PA – Forty-one Super Late Models registered for Clinton County Speedway’s season Finale on Saturday.  The Nittany 50 Championship paid $5,000 to the winner and in the end was earned by Dylan Yoder of Selinsgrove.  Rich Fye of Lock Haven claimed the $1,000 to win Pro Stock feature event with a last lap pass while Jeffrey Weaver of Lock Haven was victorious in the 270 Micro Sprints and Adam Campbell of Danville won the four cylinder feature. 

Fast-timer Mike Maresca of Pottsdale, NY started on the pole position by luck of the draw, as the heat winners redrew for the first four starting spots, using the Outlaw’s starting line-up procedure. Maresca took the early lead with David Scott of Elkland, who started fourth taking the runner up position.   On lap number five Scott took the lead from Maresca.  The duo raced side by side for several laps with Maresca getting credit for leading lap number 7, then Scott coming back to lead circuit number 8.  A five car incident on lap number nine slowed the field.   Chad Julies, Denny Fenton, Andrew Yoder, Devin Hart and Kyle Lee were involved.  All drivers were okay and able to rejoin the race.  Scott led the field for the restart with Maresca, Dylan Yoder, Gene Knaub and Damian Bidwell in the top five. 

Scott and Maresca continued to battle for the top position while Bryan Bernheisel moved into the top five on lap number nineteen.  Scott and Maresca raced through lapped traffic and at times would split the lapped cars with Scott down low and Maresca working the high side of the speedway.  Maresca passed Scott for the lead on lap number 23.  On the next lap, Scott slowed and brought out the caution.  Maresca restarted the race with Dylan Yoder, Knaub, Bernheisel and Bidwell in pursuit.  Bernheimer took over the third spot on lap number 26 making it a three car race for the lead.  2020 Limited Late Model Track Champion, Matt Cochran, who started 11^th advanced into the top five on lap number 32.  With ten laps remaining, Bernheisel brought out the caution with a flat tire.   The restart had Yoder in command of the field, with Maresca, Cochran, Bidwell, and Jim Yoder in the top five.  On lap 45 the caution came out for Andrew Yoder.  Under the caution Maresca went to the pit area with a flat moving Cochran up to the runner up position for the restart.   Yoder held the lead for the final five laps to earn the $5,000 payday over Cochran, Bidwell, Jim Yoder, and Devin Hart.  Sixth through tenth were Kevin Probst, Bernheisel, Julies, Mike Smith, and Maresca.  Heat races were won by David Scott, Mike Wonderling, Michael Maresca, and Bryan Bernheisel.  B-mains were won Denny Fenton and Shaun Jones.  Fast time was set by Michael Maresca with a lap of 13.522.
