I was definitely not letting this one get away again. I brought it all the way to the wall at the end and knew he’d have to pretty much drive over us to get the win. It’s great to take this new
car with Shane Hmiel and Levi Jones and Great Clips backing us to a win right away. I’ve never been one to do donuts, but I was that excited to win this one,” Hagen said.

turned the tables on Greg Hodnett at Williams Grove Speedway on Friday night and

the season opener for the AMSOIL Sprint Car National Championship and led the
points coming into the race at Port Royal Speedway, Brady Bacon had felt some
frustration at narrowly missing out on more wins while accumulating nine
top-fives and six fast times in the first twelve races. He returned to victory
lane on Saturday winning the 30-lapper at Port Royal speedway. After Sunday’s
8th “Eastern Storm” finale at Susquehanna Speedway Park fell to rain just after
Qualifying was completed, Brady was crowned “Eastern Storm” Champion. The Broken
Arrow, Oklahoma driver also padded his AMSOIL National Sprint Car point lead in
the process. Congrats to Brady and the Hoffman Racing team on the continuation
of a great season. |

Speedway |
|
 June 8th. Tyler Thomas of
Owasso, Oklahoma led every lap from the pole to claim his first POWRi Lucas Oil
National Midget Series win of 2014. “Our car was on a rail all night,” explained
victorious Tyler Thomas. “Jeff Davis and my dad [Brian Thomas] gave me an
awesome car all night. I normally don’t do so well at Belle-Clair. The cushion
got pretty treacherous towards the end and it was hard to get back in a rhythm
after the restarts, but managed to hold on to it. I’m really happy.” . |

Ott Sweeps URC Weekend – Wins Jack Gunn Memorial |
|
 June 7th. What a weekend it
was for Aaron Ott and his XXX Sprint Car. The festivities kicked off Friday
night at the URC Sprint Car Series invaded Williams Grove Speedway for a 360/358
showdown. Aaron started the feature fourth and was already up to the lead by lap
number four. In clean air he was untouchable, streaking away to a huge lead.
With traffic looming, second and third closed once or twice, but in the end, Ott
drove to the win and $2,200 payday with relative ease. Not satisfied with just
one win, the team loaded up and rolled to Selinsgrove Speedway on Saturday
night, as the URC Sprints would challenge the locals once again for $3,500 to
win and the title of “Jack Gunn Memorial” champion. Ott had to work harder for
this one, as a mid pack starting spot made the youngster have to pick through a
tough field of cars before challenging for the lead. After passing Greg Hodnett
for second on lap 11, Ott set to work on race leader Davie Franek and made the
winning move on him on lap 15. From there, Ott ran away from the field, just as
he had on Friday night, and led without challenge all the way to the checkered
flag and $3,500 pay day. To Aaron, Don and all the crew – congratulations on the
double winning weekend! |

Grasso Scores First Career Lincoln Win At Gohn
Memorial |
|
 June 7th. “Is this for
real?”. So asked J.J. Grasso after holding off the always stacked 410 field to
claim his first career Lincoln Speedway 410 sprint car feature win in the Annual
Daryl Gohn/Glenn Gohn, Sr. Memorial Saturday night. It was an all XXX front row
at the beginning of the race, with Grasso starting outside of pole sitter Steve
Owings. Grasso passed Ownings on the second lap, and then rallied the top the
entire race, despite the disappearing cushion. “It didn’t seem like that bottom
was there in one and two,” said Grasso, “When I caught lapped traffic, those
guys were running pretty equal. But I kept getting higher and higher off of two,
and I wasn’t sure if I should try to maybe diamond it off a little bit or what.
You could see there’s just nothing there, said the driver of the BK Trucking
#37, “It was nerve-racking, and I was holding my breath for every lap of it. I
can’t believe this!”. Grasso’s final margin of victory was 1.94 seconds, and
his total winnings (counting Gohn family and sponsor contingency prizes) was
$4,600. |

Gettysburg Clash at Lincoln Speedway much of
Wednesday night did not dampen the

Smith, of Broken Arrow, Okla. “At this point
in my career I needed some help and this is
a big race for us to win. I know from
driving all these years and all this
experience, these guys put me here. They’ve
got a really good race car for me and we’d
like to keep going and I’d like to get one
more.”. Rahmer, who ended his own driving
career last season after an emotional win at
the National Open, said this was one of the
highlights of his racing career. “In all
honesty, obviously the National Open was the
biggest thing that happened to me in racing

McCabe would run third for most of the
contest but after driving underneath James
Bundy for second with about 5 laps to go,
McCabe raced up to the back bumper of leader
Cory Samuelson with the white flag flying.
Zach would stick to the bottom side of the
speedway and with a narrow lane open to him,
would pull even with Cory coming out of turn
two. The drag race down the back stretch saw
neither gain an advantage, but the lower
line of the track proved faster off four,
giving Zach the opening night win in a XXX
podium sweep, with Samuelson and Bundy
taking the 2nd and 3rd spots. |

the best, you have to challenge yourself against the

Aaron again shot out like a rocket, stretching to a
big lead before encountering lapped cars on the 16th
circuit. The Clute, TX native worked diligently
through the backmarkers while his lead gradually
dwindled. With just five to go, Sean McClelland had
closed to striking distance, but a thread the needle
move between two lappers with 3 to go sealed the

Ryan on the victory! |

number of cars with them and moving Jeremy to row
one for the subsequent restart. At the drop of the

Siegel Wires Lincoln |
|
April 5th.
New Oxford’s Jim Siegel started on the pole and led
every lap picking up his tenth career Lincoln win in
the 25-lap 410 sprint car feature Saturday night.
“The track was super-fast and hard to pass on
tonight, said Siegel upon exiting his Mason-Dixon
Vault Company #59 XXX chassis in victory lane, “It
was a good night to have a little luck and draw a
good number for the heat race. I knew lapped
cars were holding me up, so I thought ‘It’s time to
sit up in the seat and go.’ The car was a lot faster
than what I was pushing it, but when the track’s
like this and there’s not much passing, you have to
just make it wide and go as fast as you need to".
This underscored a good night for XXX sprint car
chassis at Lincoln with Brian Montieth living up to
his nickname, running on the edge all night
chraging from 18th starting spot to 3rd. And
