Jeremiah Shingledecker

FRANKLIN, PA (June 27, 2021): Jeremiah Shingledecker became the first three-time winner in the Krill Recycling LLC 358 Modified division at Tri-City Raceway Park. Breaking through with his first victory in the Shawgo Real Estate LLC 410 Sprint Cars was Brandon, “the Wheelman,” Matus.

Also scoring wins were Bobby Whitling (Hovis Auto & Truck Supply Pro Stocks), Dalton Speer (4 Your Car Connection Mini Stocks), and David Myers (Vintage Modifieds).

Shingledecker was worried when he pulled the pills for the starting lineup for the Krill Recycling LLC 358 Modifieds. The track uses a modified re-draw system based on heat finishes. “I put the two fastest cars on the front row,” he said. And, to make matters worse, he lined up in eighth as the last feature winner in the class. But, his concerns went for naught.

J.R. McGinley started from the pole position in his first appearance of the season at Tri-City Raceway Park. On his flank was Jimmy Holden. Kyle Fink and D.J. Schrader were in row two, with Travis Shingledecker and Kevin Hoffman in the third stanza. Steve Barr was lined up inside Shingledecker, who also happens to be the points leader in the division. Then came Tom Holden and Curt Bish, Jr. Lonny Riggs and Max Smoker were in the sixth row.

McGinley took the early lead, but Jimmy Holden was nipping on his heels. Fink slid into third, with Schrader, Travis Shingledecker, and Steve Barr fighting for position. Soon, they were joined by Jeremiah Shingledecker.

McGinley held control through the first five laps. After a caution for Nathan McDowell, Holden stayed close enough on the restart to nose ahead in turns one and two. However, a caution for Travis Shingledecker’s bout with the water barrels lining the wall in turns one and two negated the pass for the lead.

On the ensuing restart, McGinley got into turn one a bit too hot. He slid up out of the groove, opening the door for Holden. Holden ducked under him to take the lead.

A series of restarts over the next couple of laps enabled Jeremiah Shingledecker to climb through the ranks. As he was doing so, McGinley started to slide back through the field.

Jeremiah Shingledecker stalked Jimmy Holden for eight laps during a longer green flag session. Coming through turn four with fifteen laps completed, Shingledecker got his nose under Holden, who continued to use the high side through the race. Shingledecker powered off the corner with the lead. Holden fought back, but he was unable to overtake Shingledecker.

Over the final laps in the race, Shingledecker stretched his advantage. Holden was second, followed by Fink, Riggs, and McGinley. Kevin Hoffman crossed in sixth, followed by Travis Shingledecker, the winner’s brother, D.J. Schrader, Curt Bish, and Ryan Riffe.

In the Donovan & Bauer Auto Group heat races for the Krill Recycling LLC 358 Modifieds, the victories went to Jeremiah Shingledecker and Jimmy Holden. There was no B Main.

Brandon Matus said after the feature that he felt badly about an hour before the green flag dropped for the Shawgo Real Estate LLC 410 Sprint Cars. He had experimented in his heat race and the new set-up did not work. “We went back to what I know will make the car go straight,” he said. It went straight as an arrow, and it was fast.

Leyton Wagner and Brandon Matus were third generation drivers leading the way in the Sprint Car feature event. They were followed by Brandon Spithaler. Chase Metheny was slated to start in fourth, but he opted for the tail, so that moved Bob Felmlee into row two. Darin Gallageher and Jack Sodeman, Jr. became the new third row. Sodeman rolled out an old favorite car for Sunday night action after crashing the night before at another area speedway. Then came Brent Matus and Ken Rossey. Bob McMillin and Logan McCandless made up row five. Bryan Salisbury made his first Tri-City start of the season from row six, with Francis Sesco returning to action after several years lay-off.

Brandon Matus wasted no time sailing into the lead. Wagner and Felmlee followed. Things were shaping up for a three-way battle for the lead when a red flag was thrown due to the violent crash of Ken Rossey on the third trip around the big half mile. Rossey was not hurt.

When the race resumed, Matus had the point, followed by Felmlee, Wagner, Spithaler, Gallagher, Sodeman, and Brent Matus.

Brandon Matus and Felmlee flew out front by themselves for almost the entire race. Matus was able to stretch his lead even after he encountered the slower cars. Quite a distance behind them was Wagner, who went on to log his best finish ever at Tri-City Raceway Park. Taking fourth was Gallagher. Spithaler was fifth.

Sodeman rode old reliable to the sixth spot. McCandless, Brent Matus, Salisbury and Davey Jones completed the top ten

Three Rivers Karting

Taking the checkers in the Donovan & Bauer Auto Group heats for the Shawgo Real Estate LLC 410 Sprint Cars were Bob Felmlee and Brandon Spithaler. There was no B Main.

Josh Seippel and Rod Laskey made up the front row for the Hovis Auto & Truck Supply Pro Stock A Main. Tyler Wyant and Jason Johns were in the second row, with Curtis J. Bish and Bobby Whitling in the third row, Darr Diegelman and Pat Fielding were in row four with Doug Iorio, II and points leader WIlliam Hurrelbrink behind them.

The feature was like a flashback to a golden age of Pro Stock racing at Tri-City Raceway Park. Three well-known racers positioned themselves at the front of the pack, and they had a private contest to see who would earn the bragging rights.

For most of the race, it appeared as though Laskey would take the checkers. However, Whitling was able to cool down his tires when there was a caution with twelve of the fifteen laps completed. That was just enough to allow him to surge ahead of Laskey when the green light flashed on for the final time. Johns stayed close to the leaders, but he was never able to get his nose into the middle of the action. Following those three veterans across the line was Josh Seippel, who was a relative newcomer when the others ruled the roost. Tyler Wyant, who was not even born yet when Whitling, Laskey, and Johns were in their prime, crossed in the fifth spot.

Taking sixth was Curtis J. Bish, followed by Fielding, Hurrelbrink, Iorio, and Diegelman.

The Hovis Auto & Truck Supply Pro Stocks had two Donovan & Bauer Auto Group heat races. The winners were Rod Laskey and Bobby Whitling, familiar names to Pro Stock fans at Tri-City. There was no B Main.

Evan Sobieski and Kevin Watson paced the field for the start of the 4 Your Car Connection Mini Stock feature. Pat Hanlonand D.J. Macrae were in row two, with Levi Maskal and Brody McClintock were in row three.

Dalton Speer started in eighth but he raced his way to the front. He got the win, with Austin Fedder finishing second. He was subbing for Chad Greeley. Justin Bailey was third, with Sobieski in fourth. Fifth went to Hemi Kinneston. Positions six through ten went to Patrick Lane, Kevin Watson, Michael Barr, Joanne WIlson, and Kevin Wice.

The 4 Your Car Connection Mini Stocks presented a pair of Donovan & Bauer Auto Group heat races as well. The successful drivers in that division were D.J. Macrae and Dalton Speer. There was no B Main. Brayden Seippel flipped his Mini Stock during the heat race in a three-car incident in turn one. He was not injured in the tumble.

An added class for the evening was the Vintage Modifieds. Taking the win was David Myers, followed by his father, ageless Les Myers. Tim Natalino, Dale Zimmer, and Jeff Manners rounded out the top five. Fred Hildenbrand, Paul St. John, Dave Phillips, Don Swingle, and Tom Warburton followed. The heat race wins belonged to David Myers and Tim Natalino. The preliminaries were presented by the Donovan & Bauer Auto Group.

Next week, Tri-City Raceway Park will celebrate the July 4 holiday with another Sunday Thunder race program presented by Big Dog RC. Added to the card will be a fabulous fireworks display. Remember that there will be no racing at Tri-City Raceway Park on Sunday, July 11. Racing will resume on July 18 with a Sprint Spectacular, faturing the Shawgo Real Estate LLC 410 Sprint Cars, the Gary Glass Automotive and Washington House RUSH Sprints, the Junior Sprints, the Hovis Auto & Truck Supply Pro Stocks, and the 4 Your Car Connection Mini Stocks.

Snyder Surprises in Thrilling Speedweek Finale at Tri City

Published

on

FRANKLIN, PA (June 1, 2025): In just his fifth winged 410 Sprint Car start ever, Steven Snyder, Jr. of Rising Sun, MD scored the big win at Tri City Raceway. The victory was his first in the class, and, most likely, his first top five finish as well. The highly successful driver of 600 Micros was the 100th 410 Sprint Car driver to grace victory lane at the Venango County oval. He earned $4,000 for the impressive effort and he secured second place in the points for the Western PA Speedweek series, which was abbreviated due to wet weather.

Blaze Myers and Jake Gomola won the support races for RUSH (Crate) Sprints and Allegheny Sprint Tour 305s, respectively.

“I didn’t expect to win,” Snyder said modestly. He explained that he had just finished some Midget racing in Illinois and it took him some time to get adjusted to the winged Sprint Car. The first night of Western PA Speedweek, at Pittsburgh Pennsylvania Motor Speedway, may well have been his first race of the year in a Winged Sprint.

Snyder came on strong in the closing laps, chasing down and then passing Jeremy Weaver in the final 50 feet, or less. “I hope that you (the fans) enjoyed that,” Snyder exclaimed. “He (Weaver) was kinda bound up front. I saw him enter high down there (gesturing toward turns three and four). We were good in three and four.” Snyder then won the dash to the scoring loop.

What is even more remarkable about Snyder’s win is that he survived a kamikaze attack by Ricky Peterson on lap nine. Snyder was leading at the time, with a lapped car separating him from Peterson, who was then racing in second. Peterson dove low entering turn three to get under the lapper, and his extreme momentum carried him well past the slower car and directly into Snyder. The two collided side to side very forcefully and, amazingly, they both maintained control of their cars. They bounced away from each other and kept on going. In the confusion, Weaver snuck by them both, grabbing the lead which he held until the stretch run on the last lap.

“I don’t know what that guy (Peterson) was thinking,” Snyder mused. “He about cleared us out.”

Weaver, who also ran second to Brandon Spithaler in the opening round of Speedweek, noted “I’m trying not to pout too bad. That’s two (races) that I gave away in traffic this week.” Weaver, who was running his old faithful mount this night, chalked it up to experience. His disappointment with the individual race results was assuaged by his achievement in the abbreviated series. His pair of second place finishes clinched the point championship by eight markers over Snyder. The adjusted point fund paid him $2,000.

Taking third was another unexpected competitor, Brock Hallett. His first outing at the track was a successful one for the Australian pilot. “That was different,” he said. Elaborating, he mentioned that the tracks in his homeland are much smaller than Tri City. He added, “I would have liked a few more laps. I like it in traffic.” He was able to reel in Snyder and Weaver in the closing laps as he negotiated the slower cars.

The luck of the draw placed Weaver and Snyder on the front row for the twenty-five lap finale. Behind them were Hallett and Peterson. In the third row were Brandon Spithaler and Adam Kekich. Then came Matt Farnham and Michael Bauer. Zane Devault and Brandon Matus were the last two racers eligible for the drawing. To be eligible, one had to finish first or second in the heat or be first or second in qualifying time.

Snyder used the middle of the track to race out to the early lead over Weaver. They were followed by Peterson, Hallett, Kekich, Spithaler, Bauer, Farnham, Devault, and Brandon Matus. Spithaler soon slowed to a stop, bringing out the only caution of the race on lap two. His misfortune eliminated him from any chance of taking the overall Speedweek title.

On the restart, Snyder resumed control, with Peterson holding second over a trio of cars numbered five: Weaver, Hallett, and Kekich. Farnham moved ahead of Bauer. Devault, Matus, and A.J. Flick closely followed.

Three Rivers Karting

Snyder maintained his lead despite encountering some lapped cars. However, on lap nine, he averted disaster. After being struck by Peterson, Snyder relinquished the lead to Weaver, who ducked low to avoid any involvement with them. In the aftermath of that incident, Hallett also advanced past Peterson. Kekich remained in fifth.

In the second half of the event, three racers moved forward. Farnham and Flick moved into the top five and Logan McCandless reached the top ten. Peterson faded, due in part to wing damage he sustained in his shunt with Snyder. Kekich also drifted out of the top ten.
Although Snyder’s car was leaking some oil, it continued to run smoothly. He chased down Weaver, who was having some difficulty with lapped traffic. Snyder made his dramatic move coming off turn four, nipping Weaver by just 0.079 seconds at the line.

Following Snyder, Weaver, and Hallett were Farnham and a fast closing Flick. Positions six through ten went to Devault, Peterson, McCandless, Bauer, and Brandon Matus.

Farnham, Devault, Bauer, and Hallett won their respective heats. Brent Matus prevailed in teh B Main. The evening’s fastest qualifier was Brandon Spithaler, with a lap of 15.104 seconds.

In the RUSH Sprint Car twenty lapper, Cooper Fritz used his front row starting spot to grab the early lead. However, eighth starting Blaze Myers zipped past him four laps into the fray. Gale Ruth, Jr. moved into second by the halfway mark.

Myers led the ramaining laps to earn his second victory of the season at Tri City. Ruth was second, followed by Fritz, Curt Emings, and Zach Morrow. Luke Mullichak, Arnie Kent, Ricky Tucker, III, Lucas Roessner, and Devon Deeter completed the top ten.

Ruth, Morrow, and Myers scored in the preliminaries. There was no B Main.

The Allegheny Sprint Tour closed out the night of open wheeled action. Jake Gomola, the founder of the AST, swept the heat and feature events. On the fifteen lap main, Gomola took the lead on the opening round. Although a caution wiped out his substantial lead, he was again able to build up a comfortable margin over Jim Pattock in the final six circuits.

Vivian Jones fought off Jeremy Kornbau in the second half of the race to earn the third position. Arnie Kent came on late for fifth. Roman Jones and Jazlyn Boyles were the final two finishers. Nolan Groves and Brandon McWilliams did not finish. Seth Harrelson did not start the contest.

Christian Schneider Sweeps Two at PPMS

Published

on

IMPERIAL, PA (May 31, 2025): Christian Schneider had a perfect night at Pittsburgh Pennsylvania Motor Speedway. He captured heat and feature wins in the top two divisions, RUSH (Crate) Late Models and Penn Ohio Pro Stocks. Also reaching victory lane were Leroy Brown in the Hobby Stocks and Cameron Hollister in the Open Four Cylinders.

After the RUSH Late Model win, Schneider said, “this thing has been a rocket ship since we got it. We’re still learning.”

Daryl Charlier and Clinton Hersh brought the RUSH Late Models to the green flag. They were followed by Brandon Burgoon and Kassidy Kamicker. In row three were Schneider and Brian Huchko. Timmy Shaffer and Jacob Billyk lined up in row four.

Hersh drove by Charlier in turns one and two to take the early lead, with Schneider up to third on the opening lap. Burgoon, Kamicker, and Huchko trailed. Charlier used the high line to take the lead away from Hersh on lap seven. Schneider soon followed into second.

Schneider also used the outside line in turn four to grab the lead on lap eleven. He pulled away from Charlier in the remaining nine laps.

Following Schneider and Charlier at the checkers were Hersh, Burgoon, and Tommy Schirnhofer, Jr. Kamicker, Huchko, Matthew Bernard, Billyk, and Michael Stephens completed the top ten.

Charlier and Schneider took the heat wins. There was no B Main.

Three Rivers Karting

In the Penn Ohio Pro Stock fifteen lapper, Stephen Shelpman blasted from the pole to the early lead. However, Christian Schneider claimed the second position on the opening lap, followed by Cody Koteles, Chris Schneider, and A.J. Poljak.

Christian Schneider grabbed the lead on lap four and Poljak took over second two laps later. Christian Schneider maintained a comfortable margin for the balance of the event.

At the checkers, it was Christian Schneider ahead of Poljak, Chris Schneider, Shelpman, and Cody Koteles. Daryl Charlier, Nick Cocuba, Logan Koteles, Jason Fosnaught, and Jackson Billyk were the next five finishers.

Poljak and Christian Schneider claimed the preliminaries. There was no B Main.

Leroy Brown went wire to wire for his win in the Hobby Stocks. Young Mark Corio was second, followed by Garrett O’Patchen, Joe Brown, Jr., and Kyle Janas. The next five to cross the scoring loop were Devan Jones, Tom Anton, Karlee Kovacs, Cole Cochran, and Sadie Snatchko.

O’Patchen and Kovacs were the heat winners. There was no B Main.

Cameron Hollister was the feature victor in the Open Four Cylinders, with Anthony Udderstrom, Mike Kelly, Jacob Wiser, and J.R. Matthess in the top five. Gavin Kokolis, Lucas Weaver, Nathan Olenik, Curtis Mohney, and Ray Tichnor were sixth through tenth. Heat wins belonged to Tyler Hollister and Mohney. There was no B Main.

Spithaler Strikes First at PPMS Speedweek Show

Published

on

Photo: Paul Arch

IMPERIAL, PA (May 29, 2025): With the cancellation of Michaels Mercer Raceway’s event on Wednesday, Pittsburgh’s Pennsylvania Motor Speedway once again played host to the first night of Western Pennsylvania Speedweek. Taking the win in the twenty-five lapper was Brandon Spithaler. It was his career win first at the speedway, and he positioned himself at the top of the points heading into round two to be held at Lernerville Speedway. He cleared $3,500 for the race.

The luck of the draw set the starting line-up for the A Main. The racers eligible for the draw were the top three finishers in the heat races and the fastest car to qualify.

Mark Smith nabbed the pole, but his luck ended when the cars pushed off for the finale. He had a mechanical problem, which required him to stop on the track, relegating him to the final row for the green. Jeremy Weaver slipped to the inside of row one, with Brandon Spithaler taking over P2.

Steven Snyder, Jr. and Michael Bauer were the new occupants of row two. Brandon Matus and A.J. Flick claimed row three. Ryan Smith and Matt Farnham followed. Carmen Perigo, Jr. had row five with Dan Kuriger as his running mate in the realignment. The sixth was populated by Ricky Peterson, Jr. and Carl Bowser.

On the initial green, Flick aggressively rolled around the top in turns one and two, establishing the lead entering upon the back stretch. However, his effort went for naught, as Jimmy Morris came to a stop along the outside of turn one.

Spithaler took note of the dazzling move by A.J. Flick, racing from sixth to the lead on the initial start. However, when that was called back due to the caution for Morris, Spithaler and others moved to the outside. Spithaler was unable to get the immediate advantage, though, because the pole sitter, Weaver, slid up to take command.

Thus, Weaver held the early lead, followed by Spithaler, Bauer, Snyder, and Flick. With the top line unavailable to Flick, his momentum suffered. He did reach fourth in the early going, but he gradually fell back in the running order thereafter.

Several laps into the race, Weaver encountered lapped traffic, and that was his undoing. Spithaler chased him down and rolled around the top to take the lead. Spithaler maintained control through the rest of the non-stop affair, but Weaver began to close in the stretch run.

Farnham showed early speed and followed Spithaler and Weaver across the finish line. Bowser advanced to fourth, earning the hard charger award. Bauer held on for fifth. Flick, Snyder, Ryan Smith, Peterson, and Brandon Matus completed the top ten.

After the aborted start, Spithaler “knew that the top was available, but I knew that Weaver would try to slide me.” Weaver’s move did not affect the ultimate outcome because Spithaler was able to race by him in traffic. Nonetheless, Spithaler became concerned about the slower cars as the race progressed. “I thought that I was wasting time with (Mark) Smith and (Adam) Kekich.” However, Spithaler’s margin was big enough that Weaver could not completely close the gap in the final laps.

Three Rivers Karting

“I kinda kicked myself, there,” Weaver said. “That race was won on experience.” He explained, “when I got to the lapped traffic, I had trouble and he (Spithaler) got me.” Nonetheless, it was a strong outing for Weaver and car owner Bob McMillan, as they rolled out an entirely new car for the race.

Farnham, who was third, commented that “pretty much the redraw won that race. Hopefully, I can get a better number for the next race.”

Three heat races were staged for the twenty-seven car field. Wins went to Matt Farnham, Ryan Smith, and Brandon Spithaler. Mike Lutz, Jr. was unhurt in a spill during his heat race.

Jimmy Morris took the B Main.

The evening’s fastest qualifier was Ryan Smith, with a lap of 17.365 around Dirt’s Monster Half Mile.

Timmy Bittner and Jim Pattock paced the field for the fifteen lapper for the Allegheny Sprint Tour for IMCA 305 Sprint Cars. Jake Gomola and Kruz Kepner made up row two, followed by Jeremy Kornbau and Jarrett Cavalet. Robbie Bartchy tagged the tail.

Bittner jumped out to the early lead and completed the non-stop fifteen race without any challenge. Kepner ran second until the midpoint of the contest before surrendering the position to Jim Pattock. After Pattock and Kepner came Kornbau, Gomola, and Cavalet. Bartchy did not finish the race.

Jimmy Pattock and Jake Gomola won the heats for the AST 305s. There was no B Main.
