Scott Dragon Takes First NEFCU+VSECU Labor Day Classic at Thunder Road Hometrack

Barre, VT — Beautiful skies and full crowds greeted the traveling band of American-Canadian Tour faithful for their second visit of the year to Thunder Road International Speedbowl. The NEFCU+VSECU Labor Day Classic saw thirty-one cars enter the pit gate and qualify for starting position in the annual 200-lap holiday weekend event. ACT Rookie of the Year hopeful and current Thunder Road track championship point leader Kaiden Fisher earned the pole alongside former top rookie Erick Sands with both drivers taking a ‘+4’ in the Plus/Minus handicap system.

Fisher would immediately fall back to the rear with a caution prior to the first completed lap with fellow rookie Cole Littlewood. Another quick spin caution re-racked the field once more out of the gate before the field settled in on the lap five restart. Marcel Gravel and Erick Sands battled hard on the return to green but it was the Thunder Road ace Gravel that put the power down on the outside groove. Soon after, two-time track champion Scott Dragon also rounded the ACT regular and set his sights on Gravel. (more…)

Jesse Landis Takes Home Over $3300 For Firecracker 40 Victory, Cody Manmiller Scores Career First NASCAR Modified Win In Thrilling Night Of Grandview Speedway Racing Action

BECHTELSVILLE, PA. – In another action packed night of NASCAR stock car racing from start to finish, two drivers scored hard fought feature victories Saturday night at Grandview Speedway.

Jesse Landis of Gilbertsville, Pa. charged forward from his thirteenth starting position, taking the lead from a strong running Jared LaBagh of Middletown, N.Y. on a lap eighteen restart, then held off all challenges the rest of the way to score the victory in the 54th annual Firecracker 40 championship race for the T.P. Truck Equipment Sportsman division.

Cody Manmiller of Philadelphia, Pa. scored his first career T.P. Trailer Modified feature win after an exciting battle in the final stages of the 30-lap feature event, holding off a late race rally from several challengers including Ryan Grim of Laurys Station, Pa. and defending track Champion Brett Kressley of Orefield, Pa.

Manmiller’s comfortable lead vanished in the final laps after reaching lapped traffic, allowing the five car battle for second position to catch him, but survived the late race challenges including Grim pulling alongside on the final lap, to motor home to his first career T.P. Trailer Modified feature win.

The win for Landis was his first of the season and second career win at the Speedway (his first career win was May of 2021), and was worth a whopping $3375 in purse and bonus money.

The race paid $2000 from the track plus $400 from SDS Photography, $400 from V&M Towing, $250 from JRN Logistics, $100 from Mike & Jill Horn, and $100 from Cast Iron Creation Food Service, plus the weekly bonus of $200 from T.P. Truck Equipment, sponsors of the division. Landis also picked up $50 from Stringer’s Collision Center for leading lap 23 of the Firecracker 40 feature event.

The winners received bonus money (Modified $300, Sportsman $200) from T.P. Trailers and Truck Equipment of Limerick, Pa., sponsors of the two divisions at Grandview Speedway, in a race program run under the NASCAR Advance Auto Parts Weekly Series banner.

The T.P. Truck Equipment Sportsman 54th annual Firecracker 40 was the first feature event contested on Saturday night, and young driver Alex Bartorillo of Limerick, Pa. was quick to jump out front and lead at the drop of the green flag.

Jared LaBagh, who has recently started running at Grandview Speedway, was quick to challenge the rookie driver and took the lead with a low groove pass out of turn four to score lap number three.

The early portion of the race would see LaBagh leading followed by a multi-car battle for positions between Bartorillo, Troy Bollinger of Palmerton, Pa., Stephen Laubach of Bangor, Pa., BJ Joly of Oley, Pa., and Kyle Hartzell of Allentown, Pa.

While this action was happening, 13th starting Jesse Landis and 14th starting Dakota Kohler were working their way forward, with Kohler reaching fourth by lap ten and Landis sitting in eighth position.

Following a restart on lap thirteen, LaBagh would continue leading with Joly advancing to second, leaving Kohler and Hartzell in a hard fought fight for third.  Landis really started to flex some muscle running the outside groove picking off positions, eventually finding himself in second spot by the time another caution waved on lap eighteen.

LaBagh chose the bottom for the restart leaving Landis in the top lane where he had been running so well, and on the restart Landis would make his move around LaBagh into the lead with a sweeping top groove move through turns one and two to become the new leader.

Several other drivers would make moves advancing forward following the lap 18 restart, including Brett Gilmore of Kutztown, Pa. who started 21st, and Addison Meitzler of Kempton, Pa. who started in 28th, with Gilmore sitting in fourth spot by lap twenty and Meitzler in sixth position.

By lap 25 Landis would lead LaBagh with Gilmore advancing past Kohler after a multi-lap battle, followed by Meitzler who was able to win the fight with Joly for position five.

This action was followed by another fight for position between Zane Roth of Slatington, Pa., Lawson Szerencits of Catasauqua, Pa., Brian Hirthler of Green Lane, Pa. up from 22nd starting spot, Mike Schneck Jr. of Lebanon, Pa up from 29th starting spot, and Jesse Hirthler of Boyertown, Pa.

Two quick cautions on laps 28 and 30 would reset the field, wiping away the heavy lapped traffic that was approaching for leader Landis, and see some positions in the top ten change in the closing laps, with Kohler, Gilmore, Jesse Hirthler, Meitzler and Schneck Jr. all fighting for the top five spots.

In the final five laps Gilmore, Hirthler, and Meitzler were running extremely close, and at times three wide changing positions back and forth in the fight to remain in the top five.

A fire in the car of Mark Kemmerer of Green Lane, Pa. would bring out a red flag with one lap to go, but Landis was smooth on the restart and held on to the lead to score the biggest win of his career at Grandview Speedway.

The final lap dash to the checkered saw Landis score the win, with Kohler beating LaBagh out of turn four to grab second spot followed by Meitzler who picked up the Hard Charger award advancing 24 spots, Jesse Hirthler, Gilmore, Schneck Jr., Dylan Swinehart of Fleetwood, Pa. who advanced from 24th starting spot, Roth and Joey Vaccaro of Reading, Pa.

Qualifying heats for the 44 cars on hand were won by LaBagh, Joly III, Kemmerer, and Gavyn Krupp of Barto, Pa. while Gilmore and Brian HIrthler won the consolations.

The T.P. Trailer Modified feature saw Cody Manmiller, who just moved into the Modified division from the Sportsman at the beginning of June, grab an early lead at the start of the 30-lap main event.

Eric Biehn of Barto, Pa., Ryan Beltz of Barto, Pa., Ryan Grim of Laurys Station, Pa. and Joe Funk of Coopersburg, Pa. would all follow, battling for the top positions.

The second and final caution of the race would fly on lap seven, with Cody Manmiller continuing to set the pace, while Beltz and Grim battled each other, and Gular and Funk waged a battle for position as well.

This action was followed by an exciting battle between Funk, Jared Umbenhauer of Richland, Pa., Tim Buckwalter of Douglassville, Pa., Brett Kressley, Ryan Watt of Boyertown, Pa., and Craig Von Dohren of Oley, Pa. who were in a fight for the top ten spots.

By the half-way point of the feature leader Manmiller would reach lapped traffic, while Beihn, Grim and Gular were following, with Umbenhauer and Kressley in a real battle royal for the fifth spot.

With the lapped traffic making it more difficult for the leaders, the action really heated up by lap 20, with Biehn, Grim and Gular now engaging in a super battle for second, while Umbenhauer and Kressley continued their fight for fifth.

By lap 25 it became a five car race for second spot in and out of lapped traffic, with positions beginning to change, with Grim and Gular slipping by Biehn on lap 27, and Kressley winning his long battle with Umbenhauer to advance to fifth.

Manmiller began fighting his racecar, as he was having trouble entering the corners, along with the lapped traffic, he almost hit the wall in turn one on lap 27, allowing the next five drivers to move right up behind him for the stretch run.

It was complete mayhem and excitement in the final three laps as Grim would try his best to get by Manmiller, while Kressley continued to gain spots reaching third with two laps to go, leaving Gular, Biehn and Umbenhauer to battle it out.

The tight pack of cars would take the white flag practically under a blanket, still in lapped traffic entering turn one, with Manmiller clinging to the lead running in the outside groove.

Heading down the backstretch, more lapped traffic was ahead, leaving Manmiller a decision as to what lane to choose entering turn three.

Manmiller would stay in the high lane using the lapped car momentarily as a block, but Grim cleared the lapped car and made a final bid low in the final turn to come up a car length short at the finish line, with the other three drivers right behind in a stunning multi-car photo finish.

Manmiller would score the exciting win, becoming the sixth different winner this season in Saturday night NASCAR Advance Auto Parts Weekly Series action, followed by Grim for his best finish of the year, Kressley, Gular, Biehn for his best outing of the season, Umbenhauer, Jeff Strunk of Boyertown, Pa. who was the Hard Charger advancing from 23rd starting spot, Von Dohren up from 22nd starting spot, Eddie Strada of Lake Ariel, Pa. up from 21st starting spot, and Buckwalter.

Qualifying heats for the 33 cars on hand were won by Funk, Buckwalter and Cody Manmiller with Von Dohren winning the consolation.

Grandview Speedway will be presenting another NASCAR Advance Auto Parts Weekly Series program next week sponsored by T.P. Trailers & Truck Equipment featuring the T.P. Trailer NASCAR Modifieds and T.P. Truck Equipment NASCAR Sportsman.

The show on Saturday, July 20 will include qualifying events for both classes leading into a 30-lap T.P. Trailer Modified feature, a 25-lap feature for the T.P. Truck Equipment Sportsman, plus the remainder of the T.P. Trailer Modified portion of the June 29th race program that was cut short by rain, which includes the remaining laps of qualifying heat number four, two consolations and a 30-lap feature event.

Hudson, NH – After Mother Nature was victorious on May 4th, the fans and teams were treated with a beautiful spring day for racing. Before we get into the racing action we would like to take a minute and wish all mom’s a Happy Mother’s Day! With 5 of the weekly divisions and the Evolve Pro Truck Challenge on hand the fans saw some great racing action.

MLM Diagnostic Pure Stocks were first on track for feature action with Carlos Grenier (1NH) and Chris Quin (78) leading the field to the green after winning their respective heat races. Grenier would jump take control of the top spot on lap 1 and would survive various restarts to capture the win. The real battle would be for the 2nd spot as the fans were treated to a great battle for numerous laps between the 08 of Jojo Roberts and the 17 of Bobby Payne. After a multiple lap battle it would be Payne that would take control of the 2nd spot on lap 15 and he would not look back as he tried to reel in Grenier but would have to settle for runners up spot. On lap 19 Roberts would get passed by Quin for the 3rd spot. Quin would hold on to 3rd forcing Roberts to settle for 4th. Evan Jacobsen (80) would run a quiet race sneaking his way into the 5th spot. In post-race inspection the 76 of Chris Quin was found to have adjustable rear control arms and was disqualified.
Granite State Indoor Gun Range Six Shooters took to the track for 25 action packed laps. Tystin Bodwell (17x) looking to end her spell of bad luck would start on the pole after taking the heat race win. She would be joined on the front row by the Steve Miller Sr. in the 68. Bodwell jumped out to the early lead with the 33 of Erin Aiken in tow. Aiken riding a hot streak after 3 wins in the previous two days including picking up the Six Shooter win on Friday evening at Claremont Motorsports Park. It would take 18 circuits for Aiken to find a way around Bodwell for the top spot.
Aiken would take her 4th victory of the weekend and start the season at Hudson Speedway off on the right step! Bodwell held on to 2nd but was followed close across the line by 3rd place finisher Steve Miller Jr (79). Miller Sr. finished 4th and Michael Yeaton (25nh) rounded out the top 5.
The Ridge Runners rolled onto the track to do battle with the 47 of Brian Caswell and 37 of Peter Fraser on the front row. The race would run green to checkered with Caswell leading the way the whole race. Fraser tried early on to get around Caswell, but he just wouldn’t have enough. Faser would have to settle for the 2nd spot. Mike Dube in the 51 would finish 3rd after missing qualifying due to mechanical issues. Richard Marrocco in the 7 crossed the line in 4th and Callie Osborne in the 59 finished 5th.
Northeast Auto Imports Super Streets went 25 laps with the 57 of Justin Beecher being in a league of his own as he took down his first win of the season. Chuck Dehney in the 33W and Austin Erickson in the 22 put on a show for the fans as the battled for the 2nd spot. When the dust settled Dehney found himself finishing 2nd and Erickson was 3rd. Steve Dubois in the 13 finished 4th and John Sousa in the 8 was the 5th place finisher.
The finish of the day of racing the MacMulkin Chevrolet Sportsman Modifieds roared onto the track defending track champion Tyler Leary (11x) wasted no time to show that he is going to be a contender for the championship again in 2024. Leary ran away with the win but Jesse Jakubajtys in the 44 closed the gap towards the end of the 30 lap feature to finish 2nd. The battle for third was hotly contested throughout the event as Todd Warren (62) held the spot for the first 20 laps but Mike Marshall in the 29 was all over his rear bumper with newcomers to the high banks of Hudson speedway in the forms of Herve Thibodeau (2) and JT Cloutier (13) all under a blanket looking to pounce at any mistake. Marshall took the 3rd spot on lap 20 and held on to collect the podium finish. Warren held off Cloutier for the 4th place with Cloutier settling for 5th.
