RAIN STOPS FAST TRACK SPRINT SUMMER SHOOT OUT SATURDAY NIGHT AT ROLLING WHEELS

A huge disappointment as rain once again fell on the Rolling Wheels Raceway Saturday night, cancelling the second night of the Fast Track Sprint Summer Shoot Out.  A field of forty-nine quality 360 sprint cars turned out for the Rislone URC sanctioned event.

URC's  Josh Weller of Mertztown, PA turned in the best time of the night, stopping the clock on the five-eighth mile at 17.795.   Steve Poirier, Trevor Lewis, Bryan Howland and Jason Barney rounded out the top five in time trials.

Five heat race events were scheduled with the first three heat wins going to Blake Breen, Justin Barger and Trevor Lewis.  The heavy rain moved in just at the completion of the third heat.   After a thirty minute delay, track management was forced to cancel the event.   The Rislone URC Sprints will return to New York on Friday night,  October  8th for the $3,000 to win New York Shoot Out at the Weedsport  Speedway.

URC will next be in action at the Delaware International Speedway on Saturday night, July 31.

ARDC WESTERN PA SWING THIS WEEKEND

ARDC will travel into western Pennsylvania this weekend to compete at Clinton County Raceway and Mercer Raceway Park.

The first stop on the trip out Route 80 will be Friday July 30^th at Clinton County Raceway where the wingless midgets will be on the program with the 410 Xpress Sprint Car Series sanctioned by the ASCS Patriots.   Also on the card are the Pro Stocks

Stop number two will be at the Mercer Raceway Park for the Sprint Slug-Out with the DIRTcar Sprint Challenge Series.   Modifieds, Stocks and Mini Stocks will also be in competition.

Steve Buckwalter leads the ARDC with 6 wins but has had some serious competition from Ryan Smith and cousin Bruce Buckwalter Jr. in recent weeks.   S. Buckwalter who is also the points leader has Drew Heistand nipping at his heels.   Heistand, who has a third and two second place finishes in the last three races has yet to win this year but after installing a new Esslinger engine under the hood will be tough to keep out of victory lane, for long.

After spending many hours on the road, Bloomsburg’s Eric Heydenreich, Selinsgrove’s Steve Lenig and Wampum’s Joe Butera will finally get the advantage of a home game.

Heydenreich, who was the winner at Lincoln Speedway during the USAC tour is a member of the famed Heydenreich racing family from Bloomsburg, PA.   The bullring at Clinton County with no outside guardrails in the corners will compliment his high riding style

Lenig, spends his free time with his sons racing Micro Sprints at Clinton County.   After successful careers in Drag Racing and Micro Sprints, the Sunbury,PA body shop owner is looking to pick up his first win of the season.

Butera, who is making his first foray into midgets spent several years racing 410 Sprint Cars in Western PA.

Racing, both evenings, gets underway at 7:00pm.
