With one hundred and thirty-seven race cars on hand and a big crowd of race fans, the NAPA Auto Parts Thunder on the Hill Racing Series closed out the 2007 racing season at the Grandview Speedway with the Annual House of Thunder 5-25's andHalloween Party on Saturday night. There were far more treats then tricks as Chris Coyle won the URC Spooky Sprints feature, Craig VonDohren was the winner of the Nasty NASCAR Modifieds main event, Bryan Sipe was the winner of the Looney Late Models, as Rodney Kistler won the Rolling Thunder Legends main event with Chris Stockham winning the 600 Modified feature event. Another attraction during the night was rookie sprint driver Andrew Hannula winning the five lap Fred's Trailer Parts/Valley Forge INC URC Non-Winners Dash. The Atlantic Coast Vintage Stock Cars thrilled the fans in their fifteen lap feature and ten go-karts from Shellhammer's Speedway had a nice track display and toured the Grandview Speedway for three green flag laps. It was a great night of racing, Thunder on the Hill style with approximately one-hundred pounds of Halloween candy being tossed to the crowd as well as other treats, courtesy of COMDIAL Telephone Communications.

The opening event was the Rolling Thunder Legends with Brian Weitzel setting the early pace. Tom Mayberry was on a charge and took the lead on lap five. Mayberry held the top spot until lap seventeen when Tim Henry took the lead. In the closing laps, Rodney Kistler became a contender and it became a three car race for the win. At the checker flag, a scant fraction, Rodney took the win over Tim Henry and third place runner Tom Mayberry. Making up the top five were Clint Penkauskas and Jason Rochelle.

In the 600 Monster Modifieds, Joe Fanelli set the pace for the first twelve laps with Chris Stockham taking the top spot on lap thirteen. Once on top, Stockham maintained solid command and held off some late race challenges from Kyle Gardner, Mike Keppler, Doug Manmiller and Jon Higley who made up the top five.

The Looney Late Models were called to the post with Greg Hoffmaster leading the first circuit with Bryan Sipe taking the lead on lap two. Chuck Schutz and Brian Shuey were on the rear bumper of Sipe for most of the race, but just could not make the pass. At the top of the checker flag, Sipe took the win over Chuck Schultz, Kyle Merkel, Mike Kellner and Ron Kline.

The NASTY NASCAR Modifieds then took over the one-third mile high banked speedway. MeMe DeSantis set the pace for the first six laps with Craig VonDohren taking the top spot on lap seven. Rick Schaffer followed in second with Doug Manmiller racing in third. Manmiller managed to work his way into second on lap twelve and he took a shot at running down the leader. Duane Howard now moved into the picture and was racing in third.. With the checker flag waiving, VonDohren took the win over Doug Manmiller, Duane Howard, Rick Schaffer and Terry Meitzler.

Chris Coyle of Wilmington, DE scored his second URC win on the BAR'S Leaks Sprint Series and his seventh career Saturday night during the running the Thunder on the Hill Racing Series 5-25's at the Grandview Speedway. URC was one of five division taking part in the season finale at Grandview. Coyle, took the lead on lap seventeen then ran unchallenged to collect the $2,000 for the win.

Also on the program was the Fred's Trailer Parts/Valley Forge Inc Non-Winner's Dash. Rookie driver Andrew Hannula took the win in the five lap dash over Adam Gordon and Jamie Bodo.

In the twenty-five lap feature, the yellow was displayed before the first lap was completed when JJ Grasso spun and came to a stop. The restart saw a "no start" and the field had to try again. The green flag flew and Jason Clauss and Brian Seidel began the battle.

Seidel took the lead and ran to hide from the rest of the field. Clauss followed in second with Chris Coyle now in the chase.

As the field passed for the halfway sign, Coyle was now in second and closing in on the leader. On lap seventeen, Coyle passed Seidel to take the lead with Seidel in second followed by Clauss, Robbie Stillwaggon and Michael Carber.

Seidel used the high groove to try and reclaim the lead but on lap eighteen, he made contact with the wall and spun, displaying the caution flag.

On the restart, Coyle was clearly in charge and with just five laps remaining, Robbie Stillwaggon moved into second.

Although Coyle did get caught-up in slower traffic in the closing laps, he was pretty much all alone at the drop of the checker flag. Stillwaggon had a great run to finish second followed by Michael Carber in third, Mark Bitner fourth and Trevor Lewis in fifth.

The Fred's Trailer Parts Hard charger of the night was Michael Carber for advancing seven spots in the feature event.

410 SPRINTS, NASCAR 358 MODIFIEDS, 600 SPRINTS, ROLLING THUNDER LEGENDS & 600 MODIFIEDS INVADE GRANDVIEW. . . . . THUNDER ON THE HILL RACING SERIES CONTINUES TUESDAY NIGHT, AUGUST 21 WITH 5-25'S FEATURES ONLY EVENT

One on the most popular events on the NAPA Auto Parts Thunder on the Hill Racing Series will invade the Grandview Speedway as the GRANDVIEW THUNDER 5-25's returns to the "hill" on Tuesday night, August 21st. Five great divisions of dirt track racing will face off with each division competing in a 25 lap feature event. To the enjoyment of many, there will be NO time trials, NO heats races, NO consolations! NO Qualifying events, just five awesome features all getting underway at 7:30 PM. The five featured divisions will include the popular 410 Sprints, the NASCAR 358 Modifieds, the 600 Sprints, Rolling Thunder Legends and the 600 Modifieds. Over 100 cars will compete with more then $32,000 in prize money up for grabs. There is more good news for the competitors. Every driver will leave with a pay envelop, unlike conventional racing events where un-qualified cars do not earn money.

The idea of the features only format started in 1999 as part of the Thunder Series and began as four feature program. The feedback from spectators was over-whelming! Most weekly racing programs begin with at least two hours or more of qualifying or preliminary events, leading up to the main attraction. . . . The Feature Events. On more then one occasion, fans have been seen leaving area race tracks, sometimes just exhausted with the qualifying and missing the best event of the night. . . The Features.

With the Grandview THUNDER 5-25's, there is no waiting for the main attraction, it starts with the drop of the first green flag at 7:30 PM. The success of this format is further enhanced by a quality field of competitors. Each division is made-up of the best twenty drivers of their respective class. For the race fans, they'll see the "best of the best".

Some of the early pre-entered drivers for Tuesday, August 21 include 410 Sprint Stars Todd Shaffer, Fred Rahmer, Lance Dewease, Greg Hodnett and Lucas Wolfe. In the NASCAR 358 Modifieds, look for Jeff Strunk, Duane Howard, Craig VonDohren, MeMe DeSantis and Doug Manmiller. In the 600 Modified field, you'll see Keppler, Mady, Gardner, Newman and Stockhold.

West, Mike Dicely, Josh Swavely, Jason VanDoren and Lex Burrit.

The first feature of the night will be the Rolling Thunder Legends followed by the 600 Modifieds, 600 Sprints, 358 Modifieds and the 410 Sprints will close out this fantastic night of dirt track racing. Gates Open at 5 PM with the first of five feature events taking the green flag at 7:30 PM.
