Bullring Blitz: 

Brandon, SD—July 1, 2009—For the last couple of years, Joey Saldana has been a master of the big, fast half-mile tracks that the World of Outlaws visit. This season he and his team are showing their versatility by winning a number of times on short tracks, those 3/8-mile and shorter. Of his 11 wins this season, seven have come on short tracks.

This weekend he'll have a chance to compete twice more on high-banked bullrings, as the World of Outlaws open the Independence Day weekend on Friday, July 3 at Huset's Speedway in South Dakota, followed by a stop at Eagle Raceway in Nebraska on Saturday, July 4. He was victorious last weekend on a tight, high-banked short track at U.S. 36 Raceway in Missouri.

“We've been pretty good on the short tracks this year,” said Saldana. “Hopefully we can continue that at Sioux Falls (Huset's Speedway) and Eagle (Raceway). If we can continue to improve on our qualifying positions, then we'll put ourselves in a position to win. That's what you need to do out here is be in a position to win each night.”

MECHANICSBURG, PA -- The 2009 version of Pennsylvania Sprint Car Speedweek is at hand and Williams Grove Speedway will host two Speedweek races this year. The Speedweek events at Williams Grove are scheduled for Thursday evening, July 2, and Friday evening, July 3. Both nights will include time trials, qualifying heats, a B-main and a feature race. Thursday night's feature will be 25 laps in distance and will pay $5000 to win. Friday night's Mitch Smith Memorial will be 30 laps and will be worth $10,000 to win. A fireworks display will be presented each night.   

Both race nights at Williams Grove will be for sprint cars only with no support division scheduled. Qualifying is slated to begin at 7:45 on Thursday and again on Friday. Although this will be the first time two Speedweek events have been run on successive nights at Williams Grove, it will be the second time the historic speedway has hosted two Speedweek races in the same year.

Eagle, NE—July 1, 2009—The World of Outlaws will celebrate the Fourth of July in style this weekend, as the series heads to the always racy Eagle Raceway in Nebraska for the annual running of the Eagle Nationals at the high-banked 1/3-mile bullring on Saturday. It will mark the series lone visit of the 2009 campaign to the Cornhusker state.

Craig Dollansky was victorious at the track last season, taking the lead from 20-time series champion Steve Kinser on the fourth lap and holding him off for the remainder of the 40-lap event to score his third career triumph at Eagle Raceway.

Kinser has won 24 times in his career with the World of Outlaws at the track, including 15 A-Feature events. His most recent victory at the track came in 2005.

The 2009 PA Speedweek Series moves south of the border to the very fast and exciting Hagerstown Speedway. The fire breathing, mud slinging 410 sprint cars will invade Late Model country with a blaze of speed tonight at the exciting half mile. Will Fred Rahmer, Keith Kauffman Cody Darrah be able to break into the win column tonight or will Stevie Smith add to his win total? Hagerstown Speedway has not thrown in the towel yet due to the weather yet. Just be sure to bring the umbrella just in case. PAPosseracing.com will have results of the 410 sprints this evening. The hot laps are slated to begin at 7:30pm.

, DUANE HOWARD TOPS MODIFIED FIELD AT GRANDVIEW TUESDAY

BECHTELSVILLE,  PA    . . . . . . . .It was a night of many winners, especially for the big crowd of race fans who braved the bad weather conditions that hovered around the Grandview Speedway on Tuesday evening.    Despite rain, hail and severe thunder storms, the NAPA Auto Parts Thunder on the Hill Racing Series presented by Lee Myles Transmissions and  Auto Care beat all the odds and completed the scheduled Pennsylvania Sprint Speed Week Series and 358 Modified Double header program.  The show started on time with time trials, six heat races and two consolations completed well before 9 PM.  But then the rain began to fall forcing a one hour delay.  Never-the-less, the show was completed at 11:32 PM with Chad Kemenah  of Finley, Ohio pocketing the $5,000 winner's share for the 35 lap sprint feature as Duane Howard won the night cap, the twenty-five lap 358  Modified feature.

The 2009 Pennsylvania Speedweek Series now makes a U turn and goes East to Grandview Speedway.

Brandon, SD-- June 29, 2009—After Mother Nature was victorious in the World of Outlaws first scheduled event of the season at Huset's Speedway in South Dakota back in early May, the series returns to the high-banked bullring on Friday, July 3 to kick off the Holiday weekend with a full night of racing.

BEDFORD, PA –  A high-speed evening of racing was on hand Sunday as the Pennsylvania Posse 410 sprint cars invaded the speedway for the first time in over twenty years.  The super late model division and the cruiser hobby stock division were also on the schedule.  A sum of 56 cars filled the pit area; twenty eight 410sprints, eighteen super late models, and ten cruiser hobby stocks. 

            Sunday was another record-breaking night.  Stevie Smith shattered the Bedford Speedway 410sprint car record of 16.647. The new record to beat is 15.597.  Spectators witnessed speeds well over 130 miles per hour. Winners of the 410sprint heat races were Adam Wilt, Keith Kauffman, and Justin Henderson.  The Bedford Valley Petroleum super late models ran two heats; Jeff Rhine and DJ Troutman were victorious.

            Ed Lynch Jr. led the field of twenty three sprints to the cone.  Chad Kemenah quickly took command going into turn one and began distancing himself from the rest of the field.  Chad Layton moved into the second place, lynch trailed him.  Within six laps Kemenah was faced with lap traffic.  Karl Baker rolled and landed on his wheels between turns one and two, bringing out a closed red flag.  Kemenah brought the field back to full power and blasted off the restart.  Layton followed his lead while Greg Hodnett tagged behind. Stevie Smith made his way into the third position and looked to make a move on Layton.  Smith and Layton battled frivolously for the second place spot.  Layton began closing ground on Lynch.  The rest of the field battled for their positions.  Again, Lynch was faced with lap traffic.  Despite the lap traffic, a battle for the lead began.  Stevie Smith pulled off a pass against Lynch coming off of turn four with eleven laps to go.  Smith took full command as he began separating himself from the rest of the field.  Kemenah occupied the second position while Layton followed.  Smith’s position was solidified as he drove his black and white number one into victory lane.

Hello and welcome once again to the weekend re-cap with an attitude, Central PA Racing Scene. What a weekend we saw here in the area. Youth was served on our local race tracks Friday and Saturday night. We saw the second female 358 winner (I think), not to mention 3 first time winners, 2 on Friday night. We had 1 driver clean house at Williams Grove, only to see the top 2 not change at all in both races. We also saw the start of the busiest week in Central Pa with Speed week starting at Lincoln Speedway with a familiar looking car in victory lane as a tribute to the late Kevin Gobrecht, and my first trip to Bedford last night for night 2 of speed week.

First things first here are the updated Central PA Racing Scene 358 points presented by Delco Signs.
