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.

BEDFORD, PA (September 1, 2023): When a racer wins one of the most historic Super Late Model Races in the region, he should be ecstatic. Especially when the race is sanctioned by the ULMS and when it pays a hefty $12,055 to the winner. But Mason Zeigler was noticeably subdued after taking his second triumph in the annual Labor Day 55 classic.

Zeigler got to victory lane after he tangled with Alex Ferree on a lap 47 restart. Ferree led from the start and he withstood a similar move several laps earlier. Zeigler again threw a wicked slider at Ferree, and there was heavy side-to-side contact between them. Both cars got sideways, Zeigler checked up, and maintained his forward momentum. However, Ferree spun to the top of the track. Rather than taking his position at the rear of the field, Ferree called it a night.

Zeigler was greeted by a cascade of boos and derogatory remarks when he drove up onto the fairgrounds stage. “I didn’t deserve that win,” he said sheepishly. “I got loose and I doored him. Alex is my buddy. I’m going to try to make it right with him. It would be different if we were rivals, but he’s my buddy. I’m sorry to all the fans to stink up a show like that.”

Ferree and Coleby Frye started on the front row for the holiday special. Matt Cosner was inside row two sporting a throwback paint scheme. Max

Blair was his dancing partner. Zeigler rolled off in third, with Tyler Emery on his flank. Gregg Satterlee and Brian Bernheisel had row four to themselves. Jeff Rine, who was eventually crowned as the Bedford Speedway points champion, lined up in row five, along with Dylan Yoder.

Michael Norris and Jason Covert made it an even dozen. Further back in the field were Kyle Hardy, Kyle Lee, Ryan Montgomery, Logan Zarin, Justin Weaver, Colton Flinner, Dan Stone, and Jakob Piper.

Ferree and Frye charged into turn one at the start of the fifty-five lap A Main held under the ULMS banner. Cosner, Emery, Blair, Zeigler, Bernheisel, Satterlee, and Yoder were sorting themselves out. The top five remained unchanged as Ferree began to distance himself from Frye, even as he entered lapped traffic around lap ten.

Seven rounds later, the traffic picked up as Ferreee was still cruising out front. However, due to the other cars, which were fighting for positions, Ferreee got held up and Frye closed in to a couple of car lengths behind the leader.

Blair moved into fourth on lap twenty-three and he was closing in on Cosner. Meanwhile Ferree got into a safe position and he started to pull away from Frye and Cosner once again.

Ferree’s advantage was swept away with the display ofn the first caution twenty-nine laps into the contest. For the first Delaware couple-file restart, Ferree was all alone out front, with Frye, Cosner, Blair, Zeigler, Emery, Bernheisel, Jeff Rine, Hardy, and Norris making up the top ten. Norris surrendered his preferred spot, though, when he pitted with a flat right rear while the field was under the caution.

Frye took a run at the leader on the green, but Ferree was up to the task. He remained ahead of “Superfly.” Due to Norris’ misfortune, Lee moved into the top ten. Six laps later, Lee brought out caution number two when he stopped at the entry to turn three.

On the ensuing restart, Zeigler was lined up in third, but he would not stay there for long. Entering turn one, he made a bold move to the inside of Ferree. Zeigler grabbed the lead briefly, but Ferree rode the rim to regain the advantage coming off turn two.

Chuck Clise called for the next caution on lap 44, when he spun on the front stretch. He did not hit any other cars or the inside wall, so he was able to regain the roster. Blair was not so fortunate on the restart, though. He tangled with Hardy and Frye, and spun to the inside a bit closer to the flagstand. Blair’s car sustained some damage to the right front corner, and he needed assistance from a tow truck to get back to the pits.

Lee brought out another caution just three laps later, setting up Zeigler’s aggressive inside move that changed the complexion of the race. Zeigler was able to keep moving and Ferree retired from the race, much to the dismay of the large crowd on hand. Ferree was a sentimental favorite as his car owner, Lynn Geisler, won the Labor Day 55 back in 1998 under the MACS sanction.

However, Zeigler stopped to get some sheet metal pulled from around the right rear. He was able to retain his point position for the final green of the night.

Zeigler got away cleanly and Cosner hovered in second. Frye rallied in the final eight laps, but he could not make up any positions on Zeigler or Cosner. Frye, Hardy, and Rine took the next three positions.

Yoder, Zarin, Emery, Montgomery, and Bernheisel completed the top ten.

Four heat races were presented, with the checkers going to Emery, Frye, Ferree, and Bernheisel. The B Mains were split between Montgomery and Zarin. The evening’s fastest qualifier was Emery, with a lap of 19.479 in Group A. Zeigler did have fast time, but his lap was disallowed for leaving the track in turn four instead of turn two after his rapid run. He was one of a handful of racers who suffered that fate. The top runner in Group B was Ferree, with a time of 19.601.

In the Mid-Atlantic Modified go, Donnie Farling raced to the front from his outside pole position. Drake Troutman ran along in second, followed by john Whitfield, Brandon Hoover, and Mitch Thomas, who was doing double duty.

Mike Altobelli moved ahead, taking second in traffic with a dozen laps in the books. Although a caution came out almost immediately, Altobelli had the advantage at the flagstand so he started on the pole.

Altobeli took the checkers ahead of Farling, Drake Troutman, Jacob Marker, and Ridge Bookwalter. Nabbing positions six through ten were Whitfield, Dave Troutman, Bruce Dreistadt, Tom Wakefield, and Ryan Dolan.

Preliminaries belonged to Altobelli and Mitchell. There was no B Main.

Bedford Speedway will be back in action on Sunday, September 3, with Championship Night for the Late Model Spportsmen, Semi Late Models, Pure Stocks, and Four Cylinders.

Then, the three-day Dave Toutman Memorial will be held Thursday through Staurday, September 21 through 23. Racing will return with the Annual Keystone Cup for the Super Late Models on October 20 and 21. Friday support will come from the Semi Late Models, Pure Stocks, and Four Cylinders. The Late Model Sportsmen and the Mid-Atlantic Modifieds will add to the show on Staurday, which is the season finale.

FRANKLIN, PA (August 27, 2023): Two New York pilots won their first career victories at Tri-City Raceway Park, and in doing so, they carried the biggest checks across the border. Taking the Diehl Chevrolet 410 Sprint Car feature was Matt Farnham and Phil Vigneri had the honors in the Pitt Stop Pub 358 Modifieds.

Also scoring a win was Jammin’ John Mollick in the Hovis Auto & Truck Supply RUSH Sprint Cars presented by Billy’s Garage. Mollick was also the hard charger in picking up his first victory at Tri-City Raceway Park.

David Scott captured the A & MP electric, Inc. UMP Modified Main, Josh Seippel got his third consecutive win in the Hovis Auto & Truck Supply Pro Stocks, and Dillon Morrison in the 4 Your Car Connection Four Cylinder Mini Stocks.

Matt Farnham and A.J. Flick brought the Diehl Chevrolet 410 Sprints for the green flag in their twenty-five lapper. Andy Priest and Bob Felmlee started in row two. The third row consisted of Steven Bright and Bodey McClintock. Andy Cavanaugh and Nathan McDowell started in row four. Jack Sodeman, Jr., last week’s winner, started scratch because he was unable to start the heat race.

Farnham took the lead entering turn one and he never looked back. “The car was really good, we made a bunch of changes after the heat race,” he said. “I know that A.J. (Flick) was going to be good and that Bob (Felmlee) was also going to be good. I knew that I just had to concentrate and hit my marks.”

Flick ran second in the early going. Felmlee dipped to the inside in turns one and two and he powered by Flick. Felmlee gave chase, but he was unable to get close enough to Farnham to challenge for the lead.

A red for Nathan McDowell did close up the ranks five laps into the feature. However, Farnham got away cleanly on the restart.

Farnham led the remaining twenty laps without much ado. Felmlee raced in second, several car lengths ahead of his rival for the point championship, Flick. Flick was third. Then came Andy Priest and Bodey McClintock. Andy Cavanaugh and Steven Bright were sixth and seventh. McDowell was scored in eighth.

In the Diehl Chevrolet 410 Sprint Cars, there was only one heat. The win went to Bob Felmlee. There was no B Main.

Chad Reitz and Steve Slater had the front row for the Pitt Stop Pub 358 Modifieds. Phil Vigneri and Nick Joy were in the second row. Point leader Ayden Cipriano lined up next to Hayden Holden. Tom Holden and Lenny Leibold, III were in row four.

Chad Reitz wrestled the lead away from Steve Slater on the opening lap. However, on lap two, Phil Vigneri got inside of Slater to take tghe position away, and Slater spun, ending his night. The restart put Vigneri on the front row, and he soon assumed command.

Reitz continued in second, with Joy running in third. Joy had some difficulties on laps thirteen and fourteen, causing yellows on each of those laps. That moved Tom Holden into third for the restart, followed by Cipriano and Leibold.

Although Vigneri led the final six laps, he had to be getting nervous because his car developed a miss about three laps from the finish. He held on, though, to claim the win.

“I didn’t know if I could make it to the end,” he said. “But, I was going to make sure that it did.”

Reitz got second with his Ford powered 358 Modified. Cipriano, Joy, and Tom Holden took the top five spots. Then came Leibold, Hayden Holden, and Slater.

The Pitt Stop Pub 358 Modifieds also had one heat race. The victory went to Phil Vigneri. There was no B Main.

Zack Wilson and Blaze Myers paced the Hovis Auto & Truck Supply RUSH Weekly Sprint Car feature. Chad Ruhlman and A.J. McQuarrie were in row two. The third row matched Gale Ruth, Jr. and John Mollick. Row four belonged to Arnie Kent and Brian Hartzell. The fifth row paired Rick Tucker, Jr. and Brian Cressley. In the sixth row, Billy Myers was inside of Rick Regalski.

Blaze Myers grabbed the early lead, followed by Ruhlman, Mollick, Ruth, and Cressley. Ruhlman challenged early, but then dropped back into second as the race went on.

Mollick set a steady pace and he overhauled Ruhlman near the halfway mark. On lap thirteen, he tracked down and passed Myers. Myers fought back for a couple of laps, but Mollick was not to be denied.

After Mollick and Blaze Myers were Ruhlman, Wilson, and Ruth. Kent, Cressley, Hartzell, Zach Morrow, and Joe Buccola completed the top ten.
The Hovis Auto & Truck Supply Weekly Series for RUSH Sprint Cars presented a pair of heats. The wins belonged to Chad Ruhlman and John Mollick. There was no B Main.

“Slow Ride” David Scott raced to the lead from his third starting spot and he controlled the pace through the A & MP electric, Inc. UMP Modifeds. Mike Potosky, the primary sponsor for the contest, ran second. Alan Atkinson, Bruce Dreistadt, and Gary Sullivan completed the field. The fifteen lapper went non-stop.

Scott has the distinction of winning in four different classes at Tri-City Raceway Park, including 410 Sprint Cars and Super Late Models. He also won a special race consisting of Super Late Models and Big Block Modifieds held in 2005.

The A & MP Electric, Inc. UMP Modifieds had a single qualifier. The winner of that event was Mike Potoski. There was no B Main.
Josh Seippel was a winner for the third race in a row in the Hovis Auto & Truck Supply Pro Stocks. His was a race of attrition, as only three cars finished the main event.

There was a major crash around lap five that took out several contenders.

Following Seippel across the line was Chargin Charlie McMillen and Matt Bernard. Pat Fielding was credited with fourth and Rod Laskey, fifth. Jake Whitling, Andrew Hammond, Tyler Wyant, and Aaron Smith were the other competitors.

In the Hovis Auto & Truck Supply Pro Stocks, Josh Seippel captured the lone heat race. There was no B Main.

Dillon Morrison was the surprise winner in the 4 Your Car Connection Four Cylinder Mini Stocks. Points leader Matt Urey seemed to have the race well in hand, but a mechanical failure knocked him out of the race. For the restart, Joe Campbell and Tim Callahan had the front row, but Campbell missed a shift and Morrison slipped into the lead.

Campbell recovered to finish second, with Callahan third. Matt Daugherty was fourth and Chad Greeley was fifth. Urey, Thomas Warren, and Kevin Wice were the other competitors.

The 4 Your Car Connection Four Cylinder Mini Stocks had one preliminary. The victory belonged to Matt Urey.
