Lynn Geisler Clinches 2006 Lernerville Speedway Points Championship
Cranberry, PA (August 20, 2006) The Geisler Racing team and 2005 National Dirt
Late Model Hall of Fame Inductee, Lynn Geisler finished second this past Friday
night to clinch his Sixth Lernerville Speedway Track Championship.
In a season that was dedicated to celebrating the 25th Anniversary of the
partnership between Geisler Racing and sponsor #1 Cochran Automotive, turned out
to be one for the record books as Lynn only trailed in the Lernerville point
standings for one week in 2006 and that was after the first week of competition.
Lynn finished second in the first week of the year behind Jared Miley. Lynn
followed that week up with another second and a fifth place finish the next two
weeks to get and hold the point lead for the rest of the 2006 season. Lynn had
two DNF’s this season at Lernerville but other than those two weeks, Lynn never
finished outside the top ten. Lynn also picked up career wins 105 and 106 at the
famed Pennsylvania oval.
This week will be the final point race at Lernerville Speedway and Lynn will
officially be introduced as the 2006 Lernerville Budweiser Point Champion. The
following night the team will be at Pittsburgh’s PA Motor Speedway in an attempt
to catch Lou Bradich and Michael Davis. With only a few weeks left in the season
at PPMS, Lynn sits third in points, 57 points behind point leader Bradich.
As the season draws to a close, don’t forget to grab your 25th Anniversary
T-Shirts, available to purchase at Lynn’s hauler at any event Lynn attends. All
shirts are $20 and are available in sizes Adult Small to Double Extra Large.

Rick Ross, Jr. Grabbed Mountain Thriller Win, then Mother Nature Stole the Show
St. Johns, PA- Although rain showers passed through the area earlier on
Saturday, Mountain Speedway drivers and workers were set to await the storm and
set out to dry the soggy 1/3rd mile oval. What seemed successful turned sour,
but not until after Rick Ross, Jr. notched his third thriller victory of the
season.
The first feature on the card was the thrillers for a 20-lap contest. Jeff Owler
took control of the event after starting on the pole, but Pat Verwys used the
outside groove to grab the top spot before a single lap was scored. With Verwys
still in command, division point leader, Bill Price, Jr. made contact with the
turn three wall, which brought out the caution. With quick pit crew work, Price
was able to rejoin the rear of the field.
Ricky Ross, Jr. lined up on the outside pole for the restart and blasted into
the lead when the green flag flew. Shortly after, Verwys was forced up high and
brushed the wall, which allowed a few drivers to take positions from the Mopar
driver.
The next caution flew on lap six when Chuck Deon and Josh Oswald tangled in turn
one. Oswald, who trails Price in the championship quest, headed pit side.
Another lap six yellow waved when Mike Moyer, Mark Paine and Duane Idem
collected in turns one and two. All three drivers retired from the event with
damage.
Wheeling around Owler for second, Dave Cascioli set his sights on Ross. As the
two swapped the lead on several occasions, Howie Bott moved into third, with
Kevin Makarewicz and Steve Shultz rounded out the top five.
Ross (Mountaintop, PA) managed to hold off Cascioli for his third win of his
rookie season.
Rick Ross, Jr. and Kevin Makarewicz were heat race winners
The street stocks took to the speedway for 20-laps of door-to-door action, with
Southampton, New York’s Jimmy White, Jr. on the pole. White lurched out front
from the onset with Ron Babula settling into second. After a strong run in the
heat race, Richie Dimarco was third and Gary VanOrden and Paul Frantz completed
the top five.
Frantz and Brad Barbush disposed of VanOrden for fourth and fifth and mounted a
charge on Dimarco. While coming out of turn four, Frantz and Dimarco touched.
Although he tried to gather it back up, the end result was Dimarco spinning on
the front stretch, which brought out the yellow.
Drizzle began falling, then heavier rains followed, which forced the management
at the speedway to call the remaining races. White led Babula, Frantz, Barbush
and Chip Wanamaker with four laps complete.
An official announcement will be forthcoming, as to when the remaining laps will
be run for the street stocks. Make up features will also be announced for the
late models and modifieds. Autograph/Camera night for all divisions is
rescheduled for Sunday, September 10th.
Heat race winners were Jimmy White, Jr. and Paul Frantz.
An official announcement will be forthcoming, as to when the remaining laps will
be run for the street stocks. Make-up features will also be announced for the
modifieds and late models. Autograph/Camera day has been rescheduled for all

Chip Wanamaker, Marisa Niederauer and Chaz Surman won heat races in the

heat race honors for the late models. The late model and modified features were
rained out completely and will be rescheduled.
The next Mountain Speedway event is Saturday, August 26th. On the card for the

blowout of the season, the “Big Dog 100”, is set for the following day (Sunday,
August 27th). With $3000 to win on the line, many drivers will be at the
speedway with hopes of taking the win. Also on the schedule are the thrillers

Hot Summer Nights
Help Prepare Modified Drivers for Mountain's 'Big Dog 100'
St. Johns, PA- Open wheel modified
drivers across the east coast are getting hyped up over the second annual $3000
to win 'Big Dog 100' modified summer spectacular, which is sponsored in part by
D&B Towing, National Auto Exchange, Balliet’s Country Corners and SVS of
Hazleton. The 100-lap spectacular (100 green flag laps) is set for Sunday,
August 27th at Mountain Speedway.
Along with the guaranteed check to the race winner, second place will receive
$1500, with the third place finisher receiving $1250. The rest of the purse is
nothing to sneeze at. Even though it is a points show (each driver registered
will receive 100 points), the track isn't charging a registration fee, which has
helped many drivers with making the decision to tour the 1/3rd mile St. Johns
oval.
In the first annual event, popular modified ace, Eric Beers scored the victory
and the hard earned cash. However, the second annual show should be even more
exciting and another history-making event.
All cars will qualify through heat and consi races, not time trials.
Also on the card for the evening are the exciting thrillers with a 30-lap,
100-point feature event, along with a special feature (30-lap minimum) for the
full size super pro trucks (ARTS trucks and Riverhead pro trucks are legal).
Come on out and enjoy this wheel-to-wheel, door-to-door modified contest of the
summer. Don't forget to bring the kids out for a chance to win one of two free
giveaways, which are courtesy of Mountain Speedway drivers, sponsors and staff.
With all this ground pounding modified action just around the corner, there’s
only one thing to say: "BEWARE OF THE DOGS"!
Track officials will let the dogs out for their first heat race at 5 PM.

Geisler Fights Ill Handling Car Against Outlaws
Cranberry, PA (August 9, 2006) The Geisler Racing team and 2005 National Dirt
Late Model Hall of Fame Inductee, Lynn Geisler took on the World of Outlaws Late
Model Series this week at the Lernerville Speedway.
Lynn’s night started off decently as he was the twentieth quickest qualifier on
the night. That would put Lynn and his #1 Cochran Automotive, Marshall Stamping,
Groff Tractor & Equipment Inc., Tri-State Hose & Supply, Bolea Oil, Rocket
Chassis GTO in the middle of heat race number four. The car did not seem like it
wanted to stick coming out of turn two the whole race and Lynn ended up
finishing sixth in his heat. Lynn used to B-Main as a practice session as he
knew he had a provisional to use for the A-Main. Lynn looked to have had the car
running a little better on the slick Lernerville surface after the B-Main.
After getting one of the two Lernerville provisionals for the highest point guys
to not make the show (Lynn is the Lernerville Budweiser Point leader), Lynn
would start the 50-Lap A-Main in the Twenty-fifth position. Lynn ran towards the
back all night with an ill handling racecar and pulled off before the checkered
flag fell to give him a Twenty-second place finish.
Lynn started the following night at PPMS with a little bit of bad luck. Lynn
blew a tire in his heat race and was regulated to start at the tail of the
eighteen car starting field for the 25-lap A-Main. Lynn certainly had one of the
fastest cars on the track as he made his way up to sixth when the checkered flag
fell.
Geisler still holds the point lead at the Lernerville Speedway by 36 points over
Sammy Stile. Lynn has climbed his way into third in points at PPMS and sits 52
points behind point leader Lou Bradich.
This upcoming week Lynn will again be at Lernerville on Friday and PPMS on
Saturday along with the 40-lap, $4,000 to win “Garin Memorial” on Sunday at PPMS.
Don’t forget that the Geisler Racing team have released their 25th Anniversary
T-Shirts and are available to purchase at Lynn’s hauler at any event Lynn
attends. All shirts are $20 and are available in sizes Adult Small to Double
Extra Large.

Geisler Leads Lernerville Points As World Of Outlaws Late Models Pay Local Visit
Cranberry, PA (July 31, 2006) The Geisler Racing team and 2005 National Dirt
Late Model Hall of Fame Inductee, Lynn Geisler continues to stay busy as point
battles take center stage at both Lernerville Speedway and Pittsburgh’s PA Motor
Speedway.
After a DNF, an eighth, and tenth place finishes the past few weeks at
Lernerville, Lynn still leads the Budweiser Point Standings. Sam Stile has
really picked up his program the last couple weeks and is now hot on the trail
of point leader Geisler. However, Geisler is ready to take on the “big boys” of
the World of Outlaws Late Model Series for this Friday’s “Summer Sizzler”
Showdown at the Sarver, PA oval.
"I am excited about this event," said Geisler. "We have a great group of
competitors who know the set up for 25-laps." He jokingly added, "If we had two
25-lappers we would definitely do terrific but we'll be guessing for the
50-lapper; hopefully we can figure it out!"
Lynn’s luck has been a little better at PPMS as he has moved up to third in the
season points standings with solid runs of fourth, second, sixteenth, and sixth
the past few races. Geisler trails point leader, Lou Bradich by 37 points and
second place point getter, Michael Davis by 25 points.
This Friday the Geisler Gang will take on the World of Outlaws Late Model Series
for the “Summer Sizzler” Showdown at Lernerville Speedway. Time Trails begin at
7:15pm with racing at 8pm. For more information please visit either
Lernerville’s website at
www.lernerville.com or the World of Outlaws Late Model Series Website
at www.woolms.com.
On Saturday the team will be at Pittsburgh’s PA Motor Speedway for their weekly

Day of Firsts for Jentile and Grocholski in NEETS “Cartoon-Duro” Wins
By: Gene Ostrowski
St. Johns, PA- Over one hundred well prepared cartoon themed enduro machines
headed to Mountain Speedway Sunday for the fifth race of the season in the ABC
Car Crushing NEETS Holiday Stock Car Series. Without a single red flag in either
of the 100-lap events, Joe “Millionaire” Jentile and Joe Grocholski grabbed the
spotlight.
With fifty-two Steel Seal four cylinders in the field, Bob Belcher led the pack
to the drop of the green. Duane Garrison immediately pounced from his third
starting spot and began to drive off from the field. In the meantime, Jimmy
White, Jr. and Matt Guida began to battle side-by-side for second.
By lap fifty, Joe Grocholski moved into second, but was more than a half lap
behind Garrison. White, Guida and Luke Colleran tailed Grocholski
It was only nine circuits later when Garrison put the third place car a lap down
and it appeared that the race was in the bag for the three time NEETS winner.
However, things changed dramatically with only six laps remaining. Garrison blew
a tire in turns three and four and slapped the outside wall. Although he was
able to continued after quick pit work, his hopes of victory were dashed.
Also extending his lead in the division standings, Grocholski (Freeland, PA)
came all the way after starting 50th and cruised to victory with a lap advantage
over White. Guida, Mike Ventura and Bob Darde completed the top five in the
first-ever red flag free NEETS four cylinder event.
From the pole position, enduro veteran Richard Petey took command of the
forty-seven cars that entered the Cascioli Roofing 6/8-cylinder division. Only
two laps passed and so was Petey, when Mark Spencer powered around him and into
the number one spot. With a three way battle up front; Joe Jentile took command
of the race three circuits later.
Jentile began working lapped traffic at a smooth and steady pace, but Petey
didn’t lay back. At times, Petey and Spencer looked to close in on the leader
when he was in lapped traffic. However, getting through the same traffic for the
second and third place drivers wasn’t an easy task.
By the halfway mark, Jentile opened up a straightaway lead over Petey. Spencer
continued in third, while Tim Pauch held fourth after starting 45th. Shawn
Gallucci held the fifth spot.
After racing side-by-side for at least ten laps, Jentile put the third place car
and also the current division point leader (Pauch) a lap down with sixty-six
laps on the counter. Only Petey remained on the same lap as Jentile.
Over the remaining circuits, Jentile (Bedminster, PA) cruised to the checkers
with his eleventh career NEETS win, and also the record in the NEETS series.
Petey came across the strip to finish second. Pauch, Spencer and Rob Pyle
rounded out the top five in the second red flag free race of the afternoon.
The NEETS charity of choice for the event was Checkered Dreams, a charity
developed to give seriously ill children a fun filled day at area race tracks.
One Dollar from each general admission will be donated to the cause.
The next ABC Car Crushing NEETS Holiday Stock Car Series event is the “Labor Day
Junkathon”, which is set for Monday, September 4th. On the card for the day are
the Cascioli Roofing 6/8 cylinders, along with the Steel Seal four cylinders and
NEETS Custom Classic TRUX. All the action will begin at 2 PM. Grandstand
admission pricing is $7 for ages seven and older. Children six and younger are
admitted for free. The NEETS charity of choice will be announced at a later
date. For all information regarding the NEETS series, please visit their website
