Flick Dominates Sprint Finale at Tri-City and Clinches Championship; Reitz, Whitling, Potosky, and Urey also Score
FRANKLIN, PA (September 3, 2023): There was no doubt that A.J. Flick was on a mission at Tri-City Raceway Park. In the Diehl Chevrolet Sprint Car finale, he took the lead coming through turn two on the opening lap and he never looked back. In fact, his eyes were fixed forward, as he lapped all but two competitors in the non-stop affair.
Also scoring wins were Chad Reitz in the Pitt Stop Pub 358 Modifieds, Bobby Whitling for the second night in a row in the Hovis Auto & Truck Supply Pro Stocks, Mike Potosky in the A & MP electric, Inc. UMP Modifieds, and Matt Urey in the 4 Your Car Connection Four Cylinder Mini Stocks.
The Old Skool Kool Vintage Tour also presented a pair of races. The Stock Car win went to Larry Walters. The Modified win belonged to Paul Bacchus.
Flick, who also won his heat race, noted that the track was in excellent shape for the feature event. “The track was a little narrow the last two weeks, but it was great tonight. It did not take any rubber. I have a tendency to over think things sometimes, but I listened to my dad, and he said to let things go for the feature.” That obviously was a good call. The car was flawless.
Flick apologized to the fans for the low car count. “I feel that we have to do something. Merle Black supports us, he has not cut the purses. The fans have been great and we hope that we can get more cars and more fans to help him keep this track going. It is one of the best in Western PA.”
In the final race of the season for the Diehl Chevrolet 410 Sprint Cars, Jack Sodeman, Jr. started on the pole with A.J. Flick next to him. Flick was seeking his second track championship. Andy Cavanaugh and Bob Felmlee were in row two. Felmlee entered the race second in points, 25 behind Flick. Andy Priest and Steven Bright were in the third row. The fourth row belonged to Bodey McClintock and Cameron Nastasi.
Flick rode the outside line to take the lead from Sodeman going through turns one and two on the opening lap. Felmlee raced along in third, ahead of Priest, Cavanaugh, McClintock, Nastasi, and Bright.
As the laps clicked away, Flick’s lead got bigger and bigger. He had more than two-thirds of a lap on Sodeman and he was within striking distance of putting Felmlee one lap in arrears by the time that the checkers fell.
At the finish, it was Flick, Sodeman, Felmlee, Priest, Cavanaugh, McClintock, Bright, and Nastasi.
Flick took the preliminary. There was no B Main.
In the Pitt Stop Pub closer, Tom Holden started on the inside of row one. Chad Reitz was his wingman. Colton Walters and Ayden Cipriano were in row two, The third row belonged to Anthony Antus and Macey Adamic. The final row had Lenny Liebold, III and Steve Slater.
Reitz took the early lead, with Cipriano in second, followed by Holden, Walters, and Liebold. Cipriano raced in the outside groove to take over the point on lap two. He held command through most of the race.
Consecutive restarts on laps fifteen and sixteen made the difference, however. On the first one, Cipriano used the outside line to hold Reitz off. But on the second try, Reitz went into turn one a little bit harder. The car freed up and he crowded Cipriano. There was no contact, but the veteran’s aggressive move made the pass work.
Reitz led the rest of the way, with Cipriano taking second to lock up his first track championship. Walters and Holden fought for third on those restarts, and Walters came out on top. Fifth went to the only distaff driver, Adamcik. Liebold, Antus, and Slater completed the field.
The heat race win went to Reitz. There was no B Main.
For Reitz, the win came in his return to racing after a nineteen-year absence. “It feels good to get the win here at Tri-City. It is my home track. I only live a few minutes from here. My goal was to win one for the season and we accomplished that on the last night.
In the Hovis Auto & Truck Supply Pro Stock twenty-five lapper, Jackson Humanic drew the pole. Moving up to the front row was Nathan Yeaney. Rod Laskey, and Gary Miller, Jr. were in row two. Matt Bernard and Bobby Whitling were in row three. Josh Seippel and Chris Withers made up row four. The fifth row paired Russ Coyne and Pat Fielding. The sixth was Tim Bish and Mike Miller. Buried in the last row was defending champion Tyler Wyant, who was looking to claim his second title.
Yeaney grabbed the lead, with Humanic, Whitling, Gary Miller, Laskey, Bernard, Josh Seippel, Withers, Mike Miller, and Coyne following. A caution for a three-car tangle that eliminated Charlie McMillen and substantially damaged Brayden Seippel necessitated a restart with one lap complete.
Humanic assumed command on lap two and Whitling took over third one lap later. Whittling chased down Humanic to take the lead on lap five.
Whitling maintained control through a couple of restarts, with Humanic staying close. Josh Seippel raced along in third. The next several positions were changing hands with some frequency involving Wyant, Mike Miller, Bish, Fielding, and Schneider.
A number of late race cautions provided extra drama. Humanic tried to roll the outside to take the lead away from Whitling, but he was not successful. However, on the next try, the maneuver worked to perfection. Unfortunately, a caution bunched the field up again, and Whitling was able to return the favor.
For the final restart, with three to go, Whitling changed the script. He took the inside line. He got the advantage over Humanic coming off turn four and he led the rest of the way without any challenges.
Whitling collected a cool thousand dollars for the win. Humanic was second. Bish, Schneider, Josh Seippel amde up the top five. Mike Miller, Coyne, Cole Miller, Gary Miller, Jr., and Jimmy Fosnaught were the next finishers.
The heat winners were Humanic and Whitling. There was no B Main.
Tyler Waynt’s finish of seventeenth, while below par, was good enough to bag his second championship in a row in the Hovis Auto & Truck Supply Pro Stock division.
Tri-City Raceway Park would like to thank a bevy of sponsors who raised extra money and special gifts for the Hovis Auto & Truck Supply Pro Stocks for both feature races held over the weekend. RK Virgile Scrap & Iron, through its owner Randy Wyant, put $1,000 on the top for the payout each night. Mark McIver of Shaffer’s oil sponsored all of the cautions for the weekend. Oil Valley Outdoor Services and Oil Creek Family Camp Grounds split the hard luck awards. Integra Shocks presented a free set of racing shocks to a lucky racer. Rod Laskey and Gibson Hill Automotive presented a lap leader bonus to the racer at the front of the pack on lap eighteen. Josh Seipple presented a case of Les Friction Racing Oil for a lucky driver. In addition, extra money was donated for the purses courtesy of White Star Racing and Driver Aaron Smith, Jones Notary, PJ Concrete and Excavation and driver Pat Fielding, Billy’s Garage, Langworthy Services. Ringgold Plumbing and Heating and driver Tim Bish, Slider Racing Chassis and driver Bobby Whitling, Kevin Irwin and Jaqulin Irwin Pro Stock Fans, Bernards Electrical Services and driver Matt Bernard, Pete Stearns and Venango Automotive, Grandview Autobody, Griffen Collision & Design, and ABL Creations and Ash Blossom. Without their generosity and support, these events would not have been possible.
The 4 Your Car Connection Four Cylinder Mini Stocks were the final race of the evening. Thomas Warren had the pole for that, with Tim Dragar next to him. Chad Greeley was in third, with Bill Fuchs in fourth. Row three paired Dillon Morrison and Joe Campbell. The fifth row consisted of Tim Callahan and Matt Urey. Row six had Zack Swartz and Adam Aley.
Urey raced to the front in his speedy Honda and led to the checkers. Campbell, Morrison, Callahan, and Warren completed the top five. Ben Aley, Greeley, Jared Hall, Tim Dragar, and Justin Dragar rounded out the top ten.
Campbell and Morrison split the heat wins. There was no B Main.
Urey clinched the championship by a substantial margin.
The Old Skool Kool Vintage Tour was back with a pair of feature events. Larry Walters repeated as the winner in the Stock Car class, followed by Foxie Sumner and Steve Tanner. In the Modified class, Paul Bacchus prevailed over Tim Beatty. Allen Guthrie and Allen Clarke were next. The heat winners were Sumner and Guthrie in the Stocks and Modifieds, respectively.

Courtney Gains Redemption in the Commonwealth Clash
SARVER, PA (September 14, 2024): Tyler Courtney survived and won the Commonwealth Clash for the High Limit Racing Series at the Lernerville Speedway. He was racing in third when the early leader, Corey Day, crashed spectacularly coming through turn two. Two laps later, Courtney moved up another notch when the new leader, Brent Marks, sustained a flat right rear. The racing luck was with Courtney over the second half of the contest, though, as he fought off several challenges from Sye Lynch. In the final stage of the race, Courtney used lapped traffic to distance himself from Lynch, who was having difficulties negotiating the slower cars.
Courtney explained that “taking fifty grand out of here is maybe a little bit of redemption. We were going for it the last time that we were here.” He was leading the Don Martin Memorial earlier this season when he tangled with James McFadden while fighting for the lead. Both drivers were knocked out from that incident.
“This race was anything but boring. Corey (Day) crashed while leading. Sye (Lynch) was giving it all on the bottom. I had to get up in the seat for that one.”
Courtney appreciated the efforts that his crew put forth. They did not have a good run at the Tuscarora 50 the week before. “These guys never gave up. They kept their heads down.”
For Lynch, who finished second for the second consecutive night before a partisan crowd, was pleased with his performance. He noted that although the track may have looked the same, “it was a lot different from (his) perspective. It raced way different all night long. We weren’t very good early in the evening. We made some adjustments and the car was better.”
McFadden seemed to be climbing the same mountain throughout the race. “I went from eleventh to fifth. Then on every restart I’d go back to eleventh and I’d have to battle my way back.” He commented that he got a hole in his right rear tire with about seven laps remaining, and that may have defeated his chances to overtake Lynch in the run to the checkers.
Logan Wagner was the pole sitter for the forty lap A Main. Next to him was the preliminary night winner, Corey Day. Brent Marks and Tyler Courtney were in row two. Anthony Macri and Sye Lynch made up row three. Jacob Allen and Skylar Gee were in row four, with Spencer Bayston and Brad Sweet in row five. Behind them were Ja,ed McFadden and Justin Peck.
Day turned down under Wagner in turn two of the opening lap to take the lead. Wagner remained in second, followed by Marks, Courtney, Lynch, Allen, Macri, Gee, Bayston and McFadden. Marks moved into second on lap three, moments before the first caution.
There was a multi-car tangle coming off turn two on lap three that damaged several cars. Getting the worst of it was Rico Abreu, whose fuel tank was leaking badly following some contact. Others whose nights were ended in the melee included T.J. Stutts and Cody Bova.
When the race resumed, Day sped away from Marks and Wagner, Courtney held fourth once again, followed by Lynch and McFadden.
On lap nine, Justin Peck took a wild ride coming entering turn two. He was not hurt in the crash.
Day separated himself from the pack at the drop of the green again. However, the bad luck came his way on lap seventeen, when he had a commanding lead. His right rear tire sheared off and that sent the car into a spectacular series of tumbles. He came to a stop at the base of the hill way below turn two. Despite the heavy damage, Day was not harmed.
Marks inherited the lead for the restart and he established himself as the man to be reckoned with. Meanwhile, Lynch was fighting with Courtney for the second position. They swapped it several times before Courtney took control a couple of laps into the run. Soon thereafter, Marks flattened his right rear, giving Courtney the point for the second half of the event.
On the restart, Lynch was applying pressure to Courtney. Back a few positions, Wagner and McFadden touched wheels, but both drivers were able to maintain control of their machines.
With Courtney on the cushion and Lynch using the low line, there were several lead changes, However, Courtney always managed to regain the lead before they reached the scoring loop.
The final twenty laps ran without interruption. Courtney stayed out front. Once he got into lapped traffic, he pulled away from Lynch, who had to move up the track to try to pass the slower traffic. This change of lines was not to his favor. Lynch had trouble with the the new line. McFadden closed in on Lynch, but he could not challenge for second.
At the checkers, it was Courtney over Lynch and McFadden. Tanner Thorsen nipped Bayston for fourth at the scoring loop. Brad Sweet, Allen, Emerson Axsom, Zeb Wise, and Chris Windom completed the top ten.
Track champion A.J. Flick dropped out with damage to his radiator during the extended stoppage after Day’s flip. Flick was driving the Bernie Steubgen 71 once again.
The forty-three car field ran four heat races. The wins belonged to Skylar Gee, Logan Wagner, Brent Marks, and Jacob Allen. The Dash winner was Logan Wagner.
Cory Eliason prevailed in the B Main. Hunter Schuerenberg topped the C Main.
The fastest qualifier overall came from Group B. It was Brent Marks, who circled the track in 13.235 seconds. Skylar Gee was best in Group A, with a time of 13.266 seconds.

Seized the Day
SARVER, PA (September 13, 2024): Corey Day went from third to first near the midpoint of the non-stop thirty lapper that opened the Commonwealth Clash weekend for the High Limit Racing Series at the Lernerville Speedway. Day’s seventh series victory of the season was worth $10,000 and it locked him into the finale to be held on Saturday evening.
Day said that it was good to be back at the track for the second time of the season. He had a strong run on the first occasion, The Don Martin Memorial, but he came home second to Rico Abreu. This time around, Day had the advantage.
“I did not know where they (the lapped cars) were at or where I needed to be. I got up to Rico (Abreu) and he started to get away from me. I went down but I couldn’t make any speed, so I went back up.”
Day claimed that he “saw Sunshine’s nose (Tyler Courtney) like maybe twenty-five times, but maybe it was a lapped car.” He was right, the car that he saw was the similarly styled car of Chris Windom, a lapped car, for after Day passed Courtney for the lead, he easily distanced himself from the other lead pack cars.
The pole position belonged to Sye Lynch, a third generation driver with deep roots at Lernerville Speedway. Next to him was Anthony Macri. Day and Courtney shared row two. Behind them were Brent Marks and James McFadden. Brad Sweet and Jacob Allen made up row four. Emerson Axsom made his Lernerville debut from the inside of row five, with Danny Sams as his runningmate. A.J. Flick started in row six aboard the Sreubgen 71, with Brian Brown as his dancing partner.
Lynch got the drop on Macri, who stayed close on the opening lap. Behind them were Courtney, Day, McFadden, Marks, Allen, Sweet, Sams, and Axsom. After just a couple of laps, Courtney worked his way into second and, by lap seven, Day was third and closing.
Meanwhile, Lynch, the favorite son, continued to lead. However, his time out front ended on lap twelve, when Courtney swept past. Day soon followed into second. Courtney got sideways in turn four just one lap paper, almost colliding with the lapped car of Cody Bova. That miscue was enough to allow Day to jump ahead.
At the halfway mark, it was Day ahead of Courtney, Lynch, Macri, and McFadden. Macri moved up a notch on lap eighteen, but Lynch rebounded on lap twenty to regain third place.
The leaders were working hard through heavy lapped traffic in the final third of the race. Day maintained the lead nonetheless. Lynch continued his march forward, taking second by lap twenty-five. Lynch narrowed the margin somewhat in the final five laps, but he was no match for Day.
At the checkers, it was Day over Lynch, Courtney, and Macri for the transfer spots into the Saturday A Main. McFadden was fifth, followed by Marks, Sweet, Allen, Spencer Bayston, and new father Tanner Thorson.
Lynch was disappointed that he could not bring home the win before the highly partisan crowd. He admitted that he is his hardest critic. “You can’t make mistakes, you need to be on kill every lap. I made some mistakes for several laps.” Fortunately for Lynch and his ‘underdog team,’ as he put it, he was able to recover and to race his way back to second in the stretch run.
Courtney noted that things got “pretty hectic” during the race “We were pretty good in the beginning, but I almost spun out and gave it all up.”
The forty car field competed in four heat races, with wins going to James McFadden, Anthony Macri, Brad Sweet, and Tyler Courtney. Logan Wagner won the B Main. The Dash victory went to Sye Lynch. Rico Abreu was the best in Group A and overall, with a time of 12.794 seconds. Jacob Allen topped Group B with a time of 13.012 seconds.

Penn Ohio Pro Stocks Invade Tri City Raceway Park
FRANKLIN, PA (July 10, 2024): This Sunday, July 14, the spotlight will shine on the Pro Stock division at the Tri City Raceway Park. The region’s top runners will be on hand, as the event will be part of the Penn Ohio Pro Stock Series. Of course, the track’s regulars will be there representing the Hovis Auto & Truck Supply Pro Stocks.
“The Pro Stock class has long been part of the tradition at Tri City Raceway Park, and we are proud to have this battle among the best in Western Pennsylvania and Eastern Ohio at our track,” said the new owner Josh Shiffer.
“And, last week’s feature was a great example of the competitiveness that the Pro Stocks bring,” he added. Rod Laskey scored his first win of the season by holding off a strong challenge from Jackson Humanic, who was subbing for Josh Seippel. Seippel will be back from vacation in time for the invasion of the Penn Ohio series, in which he also competes. And, we know that Humanic will be hungry for a win after his strong finish last week.
Another track regular expected to be on hand will be Bobby Whitling. The “Seneca Slider” missed the last race due to a fuel pump failure detected at his garage. Tim Bish, a multi-time winner at Tri City this season, may return as well. He has been sidelined by an engine failure.
There will be plenty other talented drivers also carrying the Tri City flag, too. Pat Fielding, Doug Iorio, II, Russ Coyne, Jason Kimmy, Aaron Smith, Andrew Hammond, Jake Whitling, Charlie McMillen, Matt Bernard, and Hunter Exley are some whose names will be familiar to the Tri City fans.
The invaders will include Chris Schneider, who has already been a winner at Tri City this year. Tyler Dietz, Joey Zambotti, Chase Lambert, Brandon Connor, Jason Fosnaught, Brett Hutira, and Tommy Dembowski are among the Penn Ohio Series regulars who are expected as well.
This will be a unique opportunity for the Pro Stock fans to see many of the top stars on the track together, as the Sunday race date eliminates schedule conflicts for so many of the competitors.
But, there will be three other classes in action also. The Krill Recycling 410 Sprint Cars will be on the card, along with the 4 Your Car Connection RUSH Sprints. And, the 21st Century Energy Group 358 Modifieds will be back after their brief hiatus.
On Sunday evening, Matt Farnham and Michael Bauer provided a last lap thrill in the 410 Sprint Car ranks, while A.J. Flick was closing in on them both! John Mollick picked up his second win of the season with young Blaze Myers right behind him in the Rush Sprinters.
While many of his competitors were enjoying the week off from racing, 358 Modified point leader Chad Reitz was at Tri City helping his friend, Bob Felmlee. Felmlee is the points leader in the Krill Recycling 410 Sprints. Reitz will be ready with his Ford powered Modified, the only Blue Oval among the Bowtie Brigade. Eric Gabany will probably be at the controls of Steve Slater’s car once again, as medical issues have kept Slater out of the seat for the last couple of weeks. Hayden and Jimmy Holden, Kyle Fink, Lenny Liebold, III, Makayla Shannon, Frank Guidace, Eric Beggs, Troy McGregor, and many others will be looking for their first wins this season.
Regular event ticket pricing will apply for this exciting event. That means adult admission will be $15. Seniors (ages 62 and up), students (ages 11 through 16), and military will be $13, all with proper identification. The children (ages 10 and under) will be admitted for free, as usual at Tri City. The Pit Passes will be $35, with the exception of those required for the infants (ages 2 and under). The youngsters will be pitside for just $15.
The pit gates will be open at 2 p.m. and the spectator gates will open at 4 p.m. Racing will begin at 6 p.m. There will be practice for the Pro Stocks before the racing begins in earnest.
If you cannot make it to Tri City Raceway Park this week, consider the weekend doubleheader coming up on July 20 and 21. Saturday will feature a Demolition Derby and an Enduro. Next will be a Sunday Thunder program, along with Bike races for the children. Helmets will be required for all riders.
Also, mark your racing calendars for the return of the FAST on Dirt Sprint Car Series on July 28.
