STRUNK GETS SEVENTH WIN, SCHUTZ EARNS HIS SECOND BIG WIN AT GRANDVIEW

BECHTELSVILLE, PA August 20, 2006 . . . “We either win or not qualify seems to be our way at Grandview,” said five time track Modified champion Jeff Strunk after charging to his seventh win of the season taking the 30-lap Allstate NASCAR Modified feature on Saturday night. It was the seventh win of the season for the Bethel, PA racer after missing qualifying for the feature for two weeks in a row.
The 30-lap NASCAR Late Model feature, run in memory of former track employees Carol Heckman and Jerry Glase along with Chuck Sennott who was an outstanding Late Model stock car racing, had one of the closest finishes seen at Grandview in a long time. Chuck Schutz of Pottstown was able to hold on for the win despite a serious challenge by Ron Kline on the final lap that saw him fall short by the narrowest of margin.
Tommy Sheetz Jr. (Boyertown) looked as if he was going to have the greatest night of his life in NASCAR Modified racing as he went to the front on the drop of the green and lead all the laps up to and including the 27th circuit of the 30-lap feature race. While Sheetz was set the pace and holding off challenges from a variety of racers, looking for his first career victory, Jeff Strunk was charging toward the front with his Gold Rush Trailers #126. Strunk had started 14th and was running in the top five by the 16th lap and was challenging for the lead with four laps to go. The two had been going back and forth with the lead but with 28 laps down Strunk was in front to stay to pick up the $2350 first place money which included a $150 bonus from Allstate. The win his 40th career victory at the Bechtelsville oval
Strunk told fans from victory lane that he had run the last ten laps without front brakes.
. Second spot went to Tommy Sheetz Jr. for his best effort ever in NASCAR Modified feature racing. He made Strunk word hard for the win. Third place as earned by Craig VonDohren (Oley) followed by Steve Swinehart (Bechtelsville) and Doug Man miller (Wyomissing).
With his fifth place finish Manmiller retained just a 26 point edge over VonDohren in his quest for his first NASCAR Modified title with just two point events remaining.
VonDohren did earn the CornerStone Auto Sales Hard Charger Award coming from 21st to finish 3rd earning him $50.
The Late Model 30-lapper, paying $1000 to win plus some other bonus dollars awards, had Lou Egrie in front at the drop of the green. Egrie, who has challenged for victories the last three weeks in a row, let Ron Kline in front on the sixth circuit of the one-third-mile, banked clay oval. For the next few laps Egrie and Kline went back and forth for the top spot with Chuck Schutz working his way toward the front from his 11th starting spot.
At 19 laps Schutz got past Kline for the first time but then the race was back and forth, swapping the lead battle, until the 27th lap when Schutz went to a clear lead. However coming off the fourth turn on the final lap Kline charged to a challenge of Schutz and the leader was ready holding off Kline as the two charged toward the checkered flag. Schutz was just the narrowest margin in front of Kline at the finish line. Second spot went to Ron Kline (East Greenville) followed by Harry Neiman (Bower Beach, DE), Brian Shuey (Hamburg) and early leader Lou Egrie (Willow Grove).
Schutz also earned the CornerStone Auto Sales Hard Charger for going from 11th to first in the feature race. The award goes to the driver able to improve the most positions in the feature race.
With Schutz able to win and his challenger in the Late Model point race, Randy Stoudt, only able to gain a ninth place finish, Schutz’s lead is now at 99 points with just two point events remaining in the season.
The Fab Five event featuring the top five in Late Model points in an eight lapper was won by Brian Shuey.
Heat race victories went to Lou Egrie, Dean Stoudt and Chuck Schutz.
Qualifying heat wins for the Modifieds were earned by Glenn Owens, Todd Marburger, Tommy Sheetz Jr., John Tschudy and Doug Manmiller. Consolation wins were earned by Amanda Spotts, Craig VonDohren and Danny Erb.
During the evening many drivers went into the grandstands with their helmets in hand to collect money for the Kenny Gilmore Family. More than $2700 has been collected at the speedway for the Modified racer who was injured in a highway accident and will be out of the sport until next season.

STRUNK AND STOUDT WIN AGAIN AT GRANDVIEW SPEEDWAY ON SATURDAY NIGHT
BECHTELSVILLE, PA JULY 30, 2006.….The weather wasn’t the only thing that was hot at Grandview Speedway on Saturday night. Jeff Strunk showed he is the hottest talent at Grandview right now as he came from 16th starting spot to win his sixth NASCAR Dodge Weekly Series Modified feature as part of 3M Night presented by Jesse Baro Trucking. Randy Stoudt was able to come on strong in the final laps of the 20-lapper for NASCAR Late Models to win his fifth of the season.
Cliff Quinn lead the 32 car starting field to the green and set the pace for the first 11 laps with Ray Swinehart charging to the front and he looked as if his No. 33 PK Moyer sponsored Modified was the car to beat. He and challenger Craig VonDohren, having come from 14th starting spot, put on quite a battle for the top spot. At the 19 lap marker Swinehart had the engine quit between three and four putting him out of the race and giving the lead to five time track champion VonDohren.
While all this was going on five time champ Jeff Strunk was making his way to the front from his 16th starting spot and moved up to challenge VonDohren with 20 laps in the record book.
With 24 laps complete Steve Swinehart and Chris Esposito had their own personal feud going on that had officials sending them to the pits. The incident caused a caution and on the restart Strunk, who calls Bethel home, was able to put the Gold Rush Custom Trailers/Touch of Green No. 126 Modified in front and lead the rest the of the laps to claim the $2,200 first place money. Second spot went to VonDohren (Oley) followed by Tom Umbenhauer (Richland), Mike Gular (Harleysville) and Danny Erb (Boyertown).
Point leader Doug Manmiller spun in turn four late in the race and had to be towed to the pits. Jon Kellner, Sr. one of the top three in the standings was sent to the pits midway in the race for bringing out an intentional caution. When the night’s action was over Meme DeSantis moved back in front of the point standings with just a narrow margin over Manmiller while Kellner maintained third spot.
Strunk had high praise for his Larry Lombardo aluminum cylinder head motor but said they needed to work on the handling of the chassis. He was also quick to praise the track surface saying, “You could not ask for a better surface.”
Meme DeSantis earned the CornerStone Auto Sales Hard Charger Award starting 32nd (using a provisional) and charging through the pack to earn a ninth place finish in the Modified feature race.
Lou Egrie, a two time Late Model champion, looked like he was going to win his first of the season as he lead the field to the green, survived a multi car accident on the first lap, and set the pace for eight laps. Chuck Schutz, coming from 11th starting spot, took over the top spot with nine laps complete with Egrie and two time champion Randy Stoudt challenging. With 14 laps in the record book Stoudt was able to put his Rogers Auto Parts/TP Trailers No. 22 in front of the pack and that is where the Pottstown racer stayed until the checkered flag flew. Chuck Schutz, also a two time champion from Pottstown, finished second followed by Lou Eqrie (Willow Grove), Brian Shuey (Hamburg) and Rick Todorow (Quakertown).
Stoudt praised the strong effort by Schutz in Victory Lane and told fans he was awful on the bottom of the track and he was able to gain the victory much because of Schutz choosing the low groove. He pointed out that he it was great to see a two groove race track again at Grandview.
Qualifying heat wins for the Modifieds were earned by Colt Harris, Ray Swinehart, Don Norris Jr., Rich Wisdo and Sean Merkel. Consolation wins went to Rick Schaffer, Ryan Watt and Kevin Hirthler. Qualifying event wins in the Late Models were taken by Lou Egrie, Brian Shuey and Mike Kellner.
The Stauffer Construction Forrest Rogers Memorial, a 50-lap classic for NASCAR Modifieds paying $10,000 to the winner, will be the attraction at Grandview Speedway on Saturday, August 5th at 7:30 p.m. The first 200 youngsters will be admitted free courtesy of Stauffer Construction. Late Models will be the second part of the night of racing. Adult admission will be $20.
Dover International Speedway will have their Tire Change Challenge on the grounds with great prizes.

Rain again washed out NASCAR stock car racing at Grandview Speedway on Saturday night. Scheduled was one of the most popular sponsor events of the season with Hatfield Quality Meats planning to offer free samples of some of their great products along with free prizes for fans plus an appearance of their mascot, Smiley, who is always popular with the kids.

Efforts will be made to reschedule the Hatfield Quality Meats Night but with a total of six Saturday night rainouts so far this season the chances of finding a new night for them this season is not looking good.
NASCAR Modifieds and Late Models will return to Grandview Speedway on Saturday, July 29th with the running of 3M Night presented by Jesse Baro Trucking. At least 13 events of stock car racing are planned for the 7:30 p.m. show.

“With the rainouts there has be a concern for some of the racers who were counting on those events to make a charge toward the front in the lucrative NASCAR point battles,” said Rogers. “Each race canceled is a lost opportunity for those racers to close in on the leaders. We have very close point battles in both the Modifieds and the Late Models.”

Doug Manmiller is looking toward winning his first track championship in the Modifieds but he has just a 67 point edge over Meme DeSantis and a 184 point edge over third place Jon Kellner. Five time Modified champion Jeff Strunk has mounted a charge toward the front with five wins and is less than 500 points behind and with the new handicapping system that is in place and most of the top runners having used all their provisional starts just about anything could happen.

In the Late Models Chuck Schutz is in front of the point battle going after his third track title. Randy Stoudt, winner of four features this season, is second just 134 points behind. Harry Neiman is third while defending titleholder Ron Kline holds fourth and Brian Shuey is fifth. Less than 200 points separates the top five.

Coming up is a rich event for the NASCAR Modifieds with the Stauffer Construction Forrest Rogers Memorial being presented on Saturday, August 5th. This is a 50-lapper that pays $10,000 to the winner. The race is named in honor of the man who had the dream, created the plan and built the one-third-mile, banked clay oval that opened in 1963. The event always attracts a large field of entries. The Late Models will also be part of the 7:30 p.m. show.

JEFF STRUNK GETS FIFTH WIN WHILE RON KLINE GETS SECOND VICTORY IN NASCAR STOCK CAR RACING AT GRANDVIEW SPEEDWAY.

BECHTELSVILLE, PA JULY 16, 2006 . . . Giving high praise to the track conditions five time NASCAR track champion Jeff Strunk celebrated his fifth win of the season on Saturday night at Grandview Speedway. The Bethel, PA racer came from 13th starting spot to win the 30-lap USG NASCAR Dodge Weekly Series Modified feature race.
In the companion 20-lap main event for NASCAR Late Models Ron Kline of East Greenville, PA drove to his second win of the season as he continues to defend his championship won in 2005.
Greg Humlhanz took the lead in the 30-lap Modified main event at the drop of the green and set the pace for 22 laps holding off challenges from Barry Readinger, Sean Merkel and Terry Meitzler. However on the 22nd circuit of the one-third-mile, clay banked oval Meitzler, a former Modified champion, drove to the front with Jeff Strunk close behind. For the next few laps there was a wild, fan pleasing three car battle for the top spot between Meitzler, Strunk and five time champion Craig VonDohen. At the 28-lap marker Strunk put his Will’s Equipment Painting/Big Spring Car Wash No. 88 in front of the pack and set the pace for the balance of the 30-lap main event with Meitzler close behind.
The win was worth $2,200 for Strunk and continued his quest for a sixth track title. He has won in four of his last five appearances at Grandview.
Strunk dedicated the win to his car owner, Will Swoyer, who is currently in the hospital with some health problems.
Second spot went to Meitzler (Kutztown) followed by Craig VonDohren (Oley) for one of his best efforts of the season. VonDohren came from 14th starting spot. Last week’s feature winner Doug Man miller (Wyomissing) gained a fourth place finish coming from 16th. Steve Swinehart (Bechtelsville) had a strong effort as the youngster gained a fifth place.
Unofficially Meme DeSantis earned the CornerStone Auto Sales Hard Charger Award coming from 24th to finish seventh, a gain of 17 positions.
Four time Late Model champion Dean Stoudt lead the charge to the first turn when the green flag was unfurled by starter Ray Kemp for the 20-lap Late Model feature. Stoudt, looking like the champion of old, set the pace for the first four laps. Buddy Wharton got to the front when Stoudt had some problems in the first turn. Wharton’s front running position was short-lived as Ron Kline, coming from fifth starting spot, went to the front with his own V&M Towing Service No. 3. However the real excitement started when four feature winner and two time Late Model champion Randy Stoudt charged up to challenge Kline. The final five laps saw the duo run side-by-side in a battle for the victory At the finish Kline had a slim lead on challenger Stoudt who had to settle for second.
Kline said in victory lane that Stoudt brings something out in you and that makes you run harder. He also pointed out that the battle that he and Stoudt put on was what keeps bringing fans back to Grandview Speedway.
Randy Stoudt (Pottstown) was second followed by Harry Neiman (Bower Beach, DE) who came up to challenge the top two in the final laps. In fourth was Firecracker 40 winner Chuck Schutz (Pottstown) and Buddy Wharton (Birdsboro) finished fifth.

MANMILLER STOPS STRUNK STREAK, RANDY STOUDT GETS HIS FOURTH WIN AT GRANDVIEW
BECHTELSVILLE, PA July 9, 2007 . . . Without his wife’s advice Doug Manmiller may not have been able to win the 30-lap Jeff D’Ambrosio Dodge NASCAR Modified feature race on Saturday night at Grandview Speedway.
“My wife told me I should be more patient during the feature races,” said Manmiller in victory lane after picking up $2200 for his first Modified win of the season. “So I listened to what she said and I was more patient. It must have worked.”
Randy Stoudt won his fourth Late Model 20-lap feature of the season on Saturday night and in victory lane said, “The track was perfect tonight.” Jason Rochelle of Hackettstown, NJ won the 15-lap Rolling Thunder Legends feature.
Jon Kellner Jr. was quick to the front at the drop of the green and set the pace for the first 11 laps of the NASCAR Modified feature. Former champion Terry Meitzler, who had been stalking the leader for several laps, went to the front on the 12th circuit of the one-third-mile, clay banked oval. Two laps later Danny Erb, who had started 13th, came up to challenge Meitzler for the top spot. The two had quite a battle going with Erb finally able to put his mount in front on the 23rd lap. Just two laps later Erb was taken out of the lead by a spinning tailender who also caught Meitzler. Erb, after being untangled, was able to continue but was not a factor in the finish.
Manmiller, at the wheel of the Berks Internal Medicine/Dick’s Gulf No. 14, owned by Rod Breitenstein, was able to take over the lead on the restart with five laps to go. The Wyomissing, PA racer, his last win coming in July of 2005, was able to hold off the late race challenge of Jon Kellner to win. The victory was also the first for the Manmiller/Breitenstein team as they just got together at the beginning of the season. Manmiller is now on top in the NASCAR Modified point standings for the first time.
Second spot went to Jon Kellner (Lansdale) who used the outside groove to charge up to the front from his 15th starting spot but had to settle for the runner-up position. Kyle Weiss (Jalapa) had another impressive outing with a third place finish followed by John Willman (Birdsboro), who had come from 30th starting spot, and Jon Kellner Jr. (Lansdale).
John Willman earned the Cornerstone Auto Sales Hard Charger Award in the Modified feature coming from 30th starting spot to finish fourth a gain of 26 positions. Willman will receive a check for $50.
The Late Models were the final feature run during the program that lasted just a little over three hours. Four time Late Model champion Dean Stoudt put his NO. 5 entry in front of the 20-car starting field at the drop of the green. His lead lasted for eight laps before Randy Stoudt, they are not related, charged to the front from his ninth starting positions.
Once in front Stoudt made it look easy as he drove to his 34th “official Saturday night” Late Model feature win. The Pottstown racer, driving the Rogers Auto Parts/TP Trailers NO. 22, had a comfortable lead over defending champion Ron Kline (East Greenville). Bill Henning (Lansdale) got third for his best finish of the season. Dean Stoudt (East Greenville) came home fourth with Harry Neiman (Bower Beach, DE) grabbing fifth.
Chuck Schutz continues to be the point leader in the Late Model division.
Jason Rochelle charged from his eighth place starting spot to take the lead early in the 15-lap feature and ride to a fairly easy win in the Rolling Thunder Legends cars feature race. The Hackensack, NJ, who comes from a large family of racers, was at the wheel of the Glick Fire Equipment sponsored entry. Second spot was earned by Rodney Kistler while third went to Josh Morrow.
Qualifying events for the Late Models were won by Mark Malcolm, Randy Stoudt and Ron Kline. In the NASCAR Modified heats the wins went to Tommy Sheetz Jr., Chris Esposito, Don Norris Jr., Jon Kellner Jr., Rich Wisdo and Todd Marburger. In the consolation races wins were taken by Rick Schaffer, Mike Gular and Meme DeSantis.
Heat victories for the Legends went to Tom Mayberry, a regular in the Modifieds at Grandview, Ronnie Dunstan and Jason Rochelle.
RACERS ARE REMINDED that effective with the July 15th event when there are less than 20 cars starting in the first and second Modified heat races there will be two cars qualifying out of each of the two events.
When there are 20 cars or more starting in the first and second Modified heats, there will be three cars qualifying from each event.
In the event of less than 20 cars starting the first two heats, there will be four cars qualify in the second and third consolation races rather than just three.

SHORT RESULTS!!! STRUNK WINS AGAIN AND SCHUTZ GETS FIRECRACKER 40 WIN AT GRANDVIEW
Coming from 16th spot to take the lead with just a few laps remaining Jeff Strunk drove to his third straight and fourth NASCAR Modified win on Saturday night topping the 30-car starting field in the 30-lap feature race at Grandview Speedway. The Firecracker 40 for Late Models, their biggest event of the season, was won by Chuck Schutz, his first win of the season but the second time the two time champion has won the Classic.
Early leader Kyle Weiss held on for a strong second place effort while Todd Marburger, who had lead a few laps early in the event, finished third. Danny Erb came from 14th to finish fourth while five time track champion Craig VonDohren gained a fifth place finish.
Rick Todorow was a strong challenger to Schutz through the final half of the 40-lapper but just could not get up enough steam to take the victory and had to settle for second. Brian Shuey finished third while Mark Malcomb had one of his best finishes ever grabbing fourth followed by Buddy Wharton.
Jeff D’Ambrosio Dodge will host the NASCAR Modifieds, Legends cars and Late Models on Saturday, July 8th starting at 7:30 p.m. Warm-ups get the green flag at 7 p.m. with spectator gates opening at 5:30 p.m.

JEFF STRUNK WINS FOURTH OF THE SEASON IN NASCAR MODIFIEDS WHILE CHUCK SCHUTZ WINS HIS SECOND FIRECRACKER 40 LATE MODEL CLASSIC AT GRANDVIEW SPEEDWAY

BECHTELSVILLE, PA July 2, 2006 . . . Early in the season Jeff Strunk was having trouble qualifying for the NASCAR Modified feature races at Grandview Speedway now he just keeps winning. The five time track champion who calls Bethel, PA home drove to his third straight 30-lap NASCAR Modified feature win at Grandview Speedway on Saturday night. Chuck Schutz of Pottstown was able to win the Firecracker 40 Late Model Classic for the second time in his career wheeling the BPG Racing No. One to victory.
Young Todd Smith put his mount in front of the pack at the drop of the green and held off challenges from Todd Marburger in MFR Enterprises No. 18 for several laps. With seven laps in the record book Marburger was able to charge to the front. A race that was caution free for the first 12 laps turned into somewhat of a destruction derby with numerous cautions dotting the program. On the 15th lap Kyle Weiss, looking for his second win of the season, went to the front in a bold move off the fourth turn. At the 20-lap marker Jeff Strunk came into the picture moving into third and taking the second spot on the 23rd lap. With just four laps remaining in the feature Strunk put the Big Springs Car Wash/Gold Rush Trailers No. 88 in front and had a comfortable lead when the checkered flag fell with 30 laps completed. The win was the fourth of the season for Strunk.
Kyle Weiss (Jalapa) brought the Schaeffer’s Harley Davidson No. 21K home second in an impressive effort with Todd Marburger (Boyertown) third. Danny Erb (Boyertown) came from 14th to finish fourth with five time track champion Craig VonDohren (Oley) grabbing fifth.
Despite finishing 14th in the feature race current point leader Meme DeSantis (Temple) continues to lead the point standings in his effort to win his first Grandview Speedway track championship. DeSantis has 1957 compared to second place Doug Manmiller (Wyomissing) who has 1918 tallies.
The Cornerstone Auto Sales Hard Charger Award was earned by Kerry Kratz in the Garage Door Services sponsored No. 87 who gained 18 positions coming from 31st starting position, a provisional starting spot, in the Modified feature to finish 13th.
Four time track Late Model champion Dean Stoudt looked like the man to beat as he jumped out in front of the Firecracker 40 Late Model field and set the pace for the first 15 laps. A multi car accident at the 16-lap marker closed up the field for the restart and Chuck Schutz, who started seventh, charged to the front. Once in front Schutz, a two time Late Model champion, had things pretty much under control until there were less than 10-laps remaining. In the final laps Rick Todorow and Brian Shuey made life difficult for Schutz as they put heavy pressure on the veteran driver. At the finish Schutz was just a short distance in front of second place Rick Todorow (Quakertown) and Brian Shuey (Hamburg). Mark Malcolm (Hatfield) had one of his best career efforts with a fourth place finish just ahead of Buddy Wharton (Reading).
Defending Late Model champion Ron Kline had a disastrous night as he started the night as the point leader and dropped out of the feature early after a multi car accident. He started the evening as the point leader and when the night was over he was not even in the top five. Former champion Chuck Schutz is the point leader with Brian Shuey just 35 points behind.
Qualifying event wins for the Late Models went to Schutz, Lou Egrie and Greg Hoffmaster.
In the qualifiers leading up the Modified feature wins went to Chris Esposito, Tommy Sheetz Jr., Barry Readinger, Rich Wisdo, Tom Umbenhauer and Kyle Weiss. Consolation races went to Glenn Owens, Kevin Hartnett and Mike Gular.
Coming up at Grandview Speedway on Saturday, July 8th is a tripleheader show of NASCAR Modifieds, Legends cars and Late Model stock cars. At least 13 events of stock car racing will get the green flag at 7:30 p.m. with Jeff D’Ambrosio Dodge sponsoring the night.

For the fifth time this season rain washed out the scheduled NASCAR stock car racing program at Grandview Speedway on Saturday night.
The WNPV-AM Radio sponsored night of racing, including NASCAR Modifieds and Late Models, will be rescheduled for a later date in the season if at all possible. “We have all of our events pretty much sponsored for the balance of the season,” said track promoter Bruce Rogers. “However WNPV is a strong supporter of racing at Grandview so we want to make it happen.”

NASCAR stock car racing will return to the one-third-mile, banked clay oval on Saturday, July 1st with a special Holiday show. The 7:30 p.m. show will include the NASCAR Late Models in their biggest event of the season, the Firecracker 40, the NASCAR Modifieds along with a great Fireworks show. Honored guest for the night will be Johnauhan Rowe who is just returning from a tour of duty in Iraq. Rowe will be the honorary starter.

Meme DeSantis (Temple) is just a slim four points in front of Jon Kellner (Lansdale) and nine points in front of Doug Manmiller (Wyomissing) in the chase for the lucrative Modified championship. The champion earns well over $10,000 in point fund money and a cruise for two, cover 10 days, to six different Caribbean islands valued in excess of $3,000. In the Late Model division defending titleholder Ron Kline (East Greenville) has 1928 points compared to Pottstown’s Randy Stoudt with 1901 counters.
Jeff D’Ambrosio Dodge of Downingtown, PA, the dealership that provides the track pace vehicle, will sponsor the July 8th show that will feature the Modifieds, Late Models and Legends cars.
Other events during July at Grandview Speedway include USG Sheetrock Night featuring the NASCAR Modifieds and Late Models on July 15th, the DIRT Super Series Big Block Modifieds in a 100 lap event on July 19th, Hatfield Quality Meats Night showcasing Modifieds and Late Models on July 22nd and on July 29th it will be 3M Night presented by Jesse Baro Trucking with the Modifieds and Late Models in the spotlight.

A big event for the NASCAR Modifieds is set for Saturday, August 5th when the Stauffer Construction Forrest Rogers Memorial is presented. The 50-lap championship race will pay $10,000 to the winner. The Late Models will also be included as part of the big event.
Lap sponsorships are available for the Stauffer Construction Forrest Rogers Memorial with all laps, except for 1, 10, 20, 30 and 40, going for $10 each. The other laps are available for $25 each. All lap sponsors will be listed in the track magazine for that event and will be announced on the public address system.

SHORT RESULTS!!! STRUNK ONE HANDS IT TO VICTORY, STOUDT WINS AT GRANDVIEW
Jeff Strunk was forced to drive the final six laps of the 30-lap Norris Mechanical Contractors Night NASCAR Dodge Weekly Series Modified feature with one hand while he held the ignition switch on with the other. He was still able to win his second straight feature topping a field of 33 starters and earning $2200. Randy Stoudt drove the TP Trailers/Rogers Auto Parts No. 22 to his third win of the season taking the 17 lap NASCAR Late Model feature at Grandview Speedway on Saturday night.
Jon Kellner had fans standing and cheering him on as he charged from 14th starting spot to challenge Strunk in the finishing laps using the high groove. Kellner had to settle for second just a half-car length behind Strunk who had started 16th. Kevin Hartnett, the early leader, finished third followed by Ryan Watt coming from 12th and Kerry Kratz.
The Late Model feature race took five cautions to get the first lap completed and the race was finally checkered at 17 laps due to the time limit running out with Randy Stoudt in front. Second spot went to Brian Shuey who had lead early followed by Chuck Schutz, Greg Hoffmaster and Dean Stoudt.
WNPV-AM Radio will be sponsoring a full night of NASCAR stock car racing at Grandview Speedway on Saturday, June 24th featuring the NASCAR Modifieds and Late Models with action starting at 7:30 p.m. At least 13 events of racing will be featured.

STRUNK WINS WITH ONE ARM AND STOUDT TAKES THIRD OF SEASON AT GRANDVIEW

BECHTELSVILLE, PA JUNE 18, 2006 . . . With one arm tied behind his back Jeff Strunk held off all competition to win his third NASCAR Dodge Weekly Series Modified stock car 30-lap feature race at Grandview Speedway. That is an exaggeration but the five time track champion did run the final six laps of the feature race on Saturday night using one hand to keep the ignition switch on and the other to drive picking up $2200 beating hard charging Jon Kellner across the finish line by one-half car length.
In the 17-lap feature for the NASCAR Late Models, part of Norris Mechanical Contractors Night, Randy Stoudt was able to drive the TP Trailers/Rogers Auto Parts No. 22 to his third win of the season. The feature was cut to 17 laps from 20 when time ran out on the event that took five cautions to get the first lap completed.
Don Norris Jr., driving a car sponsored by the race night sponsor, led the race for nine laps before giving way to Kevin Hartnett after the two had run side-by-side for a couple laps. Hartnett, a feature winner earlier in the season, seemed to have things under control until Jeff Strunk charged up from 16th starting spot to give the leader a battle for the top spot. At the 17-lap marker Strunk took control of the race with his Gold Rush Trailers/Big Spring Car Wash No. 88.
Once in front the Bethel, PA racer built up a sizeable lead but a caution on the 22nd lap closed the field up behind him. This put Jon Kellner, who came through the field from 14th, right on the rear of Strunk and set up a torrid battle for the victory. For the final six laps Kellner, a veteran Grandview campaigner, tried everything in his bag of tricks to get the lead but fell one-half-car length short at the finish.
Strunk, who had won a Modified feature the night before at Big Diamond Raceway in the same race car, told fans during his victory lane interview that he was forced to run the final six laps with one hand as he held the ignition switch on with the other.
Second place went to Kellner (Lansdale) followed by Kevin Hartnett (Perkasie), Ryan Watt (Boyertown) who came from 12th starting spot and Kerry Kratz (Bechtelsville).
Ray Swinehart, who started 31st in the 33 car feature field using a provisional, earned the CornerStone Auto Sales Hard Charger Award gaining 20 positions and finishing 11th.
Less than 10 points separate the top three in the Modified point chase with Meme DeSantis leading the chase despite mechanical problems forcing him to miss the feature race on Saturday night. Jon Kellner is second followed by Doug Manmiller.
Track officials announced that effective July lst the Modifieds will be allowed to run aluminum cylinder heads. The car including the driver will be limited to 2400 pounds. Aluminum wheels will be allowed on cars using aluminum engines and those cars will be allowed to use the 750cfm carburetor.
The Late Model feature race turned into a demolition derby that exceeded the 30 minute time limit and forced NASCAR officials to toss the checkered flag at the end of 17 laps. Four time Late Model champion Dean Stoudt was in front of the pack at the drop of the green but on the second lap Brian Shuey, who won the opening night feature, went to the front. At lap eight, after a number of cautions and a red flag, starter Ray Kemp went to a single file restart. Randy Stoudt, who had started 18th in the feature race, charged to the front on the 14th lap and that is where he stayed for the balance of the race. The Pottstown racer labeled the feature as “awful” and said “drivers were driving over their heads.” He did praise the track conditions while thanking his sponsors and engine builder. Second went to Brian Shuey (Hamburg) followed by Chuck Schutz (Pottstown), Greg Hoff master (Pottstown) and Dean Stoudt (East Greenville).
Qualifying heat races for the Late Models were won by Dean Stoudt (no relation to the feature winner), Greg Hoffmaster and Ron Kline.
Ron Kline continues to lead the points in the chase for the Late Model crown. He has just a 27 point edge over Randy Stoudt.
The more than 50 Modifieds on hand used six heats to qualify with heat wins going to Barry Readinger, Kyle Weiss, Don Norris, Jeff Strunk, Tom Umbenhauer and Todd Marburger. The consolation races were won by Tommy Sheetz Jr., Donny Erb and Tom Mayberry.

STRUNK BECOMES FIRST REPEAT MOD WINNER, SEIDEL TOPS URC SPRINTS, KEPPLER WINS 600 MODIFIED FEATURE AT GRANDVIEW SPEEDWAY

BECHTELSVILLE, PA JUNE 11, 2006 . . . Giving high praise to the track conditions Jeff Strunk became the first repeat winner of the 2006 season in the NASCAR Modifieds on Saturday night at Grandview Speedway winning the 30-lap Zuber Realty NASCAR Modified feature race. Former URC champion Brian Seidel lead all the laps in winning the United Racing Company 25-lap sprint car feature and Mike Keppler also lead all laps in winning the 20-lap 600 Modified feature race.
Five time track champion Jeff Strunk had been through a difficult few weeks at Grandview missing the features the last two times out. On this night he was not to be denied as he got by first lap leader Jon Kellner Jr. on the second lap and seemed to put the Big Spring Car Wash/Touch of Green Landscaping No.88 on cruise control leading 29 laps of the feature and picking up $2200 for his winning efforts. No one was able to challenge Strunk as was able to run the high and low grooves leading the field to the checkered flag.

The Bethel, PA racer thanked just about everyone he knew in victory lane and asked track management to keep the track the way it was tonight. He did point out that his mom was in attendance for the second time this season and that just may be his good luck charm.

Young Jon Kellner Jr. (Lansdale) had the best night of the season as he was able to maintain his second place position throughout the event holding off challenges from several veterans including Mike Bailey (Kutztown) and Tom Mayberry (Sellersviile) who finished behind him in that order. Fifth place went to Oley’s Tracy Readinger.

The CornerStone Auto Sales Hard Charger Award, $50, went to Meme DeSantis who started 30th and finished 7th improving 23 positions in the Modified feature race.

The current leader in the chase for the $1,000 Heat Winners Big Bucks D&S Archery/Rossi Welding Award, going to the Modified racer able to win the most NASCAR qualifying heat races during the season, is Jon Kellner Jr. who has won five qualifying heats. Interesting to note that his father, Jon Sr., won the Big Bucks last season..

In the 25-lap feature for the United Racing Club sprint cars Allentown based Seidel was able to take the Valley Forge Inc./GEI Enterprises No. 5G to the front of the 24-car starting field at the drop of the green. On his way to his second win of the season and twenty-first career URC victory he was able to hold off strong challenges from defending champion Curt Michael. The impressive field of sprinters was able to close up on Seidel on each caution but when the green was waved by starter Ray Kemp, Seidel was able to pull away.

Michael (Oceanview, Delaware) made several attempts at challenging the leader but it was to no avail and the defending URC champ had to settle for second. Greg Coverdale (Milford, DE), back in action this season after being away from the sport for a while, made some attention getting moves in the final la
