Troutman tops The Rock-Winchester Challenge field

May 3, 2008


CUMBERLAND, Md. – Except for running low on fuel near the finish, D.J. Troutman otherwise dominated the 30-lap feature on the first night of The Rock-Winchester Challenge on Friday at The Rock, Allegany County Speedway.

Troutman led 26 laps and averted his only roadblock to the checkered flag—fuel mileage. He had to be pushed into victory lane after running low on fuel. He earned $1,000 for the win between The Rock's Allegany Scrap Limited Late Models and the Semi-Lates from the Winchester (Va.) Speedway.

The Rock's drivers fared well against their Winchester counterparts by taking the top seven spots. Dan Zechman, Jamey Swank, Travis Stickley and Matt Sponaugle completed the top five. Matt Cosner and Jimmy Iser finished sixth and seventh. Winchester drivers Allen Brannon and C.J.Brown were eighth and ninth. Matt Emerick completed the top 10.

Sponaugle, the pole-sitter, led until lap three over Troutman. Troutman took the lead in turn two underneath Sponaugle. From that point, Troutman built a steady lead over Sponaugle, Brannon and Emerick through the halfway point.

A series of cautions between laps 15-19 slowed the pace and knocked Emerick out early. As the finish approached, Sponaugle began to lose ground. Brannon briefly claimed second but broke three laps short of the finish. Zechman, Swank and Stickley eventually got by Sponaugle in the top five.

The other four feature events were competitive until the final laps. John Whitfield took the win in the Sunoco Street Stock race on the final lap. Marcius VanMeter and Jimmy Moreland won their second straight in the TC Race Cars Hobby Stocks and Factory Stock 8-Cylinders, respectively. Jason Thompson won his first-ever feature in the Factory Stock 4-Cylinders.

Whitfield chased Mike Warrenfeltz for 15 of the 16 laps, claimed the lead when Warrenfeltz had a problem on the right rear and held off Randy Zechman to the final corner.

Warrenfeltz could never get away from Whitfield and Zechman made it a three-car race at the halfway point. When Warrenfeltz was forced out of the race coming to the white flag, Zechman went side by side with Whitfield into the final turn.

Whitfield prevailed by half of a car length and Rick Wright, Ray Sheetz and Roy Whitfield completed the top five.

VanMeter won the 15-lap TC Race Cars Hobby Stock feature again by taking over the lead from Steve Fadley. Fadley lost a tire with three laps remaining. The two drivers had been locked in a three-way battle for much of the race along with David Puckett.

VanMeter, who started sixth, went on to win by a straightaway over  Puckett, R.T. Troutman, Scott Jones and Fadley.

Thompson started second and assumed the lead after a first-lap, multi-car crash in turn two reset the field of the 12-lap 4- cylinder feature.

He led by as many as 12 car lengths until a late caution allowed the competition to arrive once again. When the race resumed, Thompson stayed ahead of Jason Riggleman and Rick Jenkins to win by five car lengths. Nick Iski and Jim Kennell rounded out the top five.

Moreland won his second straight 8-Cylinder feature by taking to the high side of the speedway against Wade Peer following a restart on lap four. Moreland went on to win by five car lengths over Peer.

Matt Stickley finished third after overcoming a flat tire. Todd House survived a brush with the backstretch wall to finish fourth and Rel Breedlove ended up fifth.

Racing continues Friday, May 9 at The Rock with Limited Late Models, Street Stocks, Hobby Stocks, 4-Cylinders and 6- ylinders. Kids' bike races will also be held. Racing begins at 7 p.m.

Sponaugle victorious at The Rock

April 18, 2008


CUMBERLAND, Md. – Matt Sponaugle led the entire distance for the Allegany Scrap Limited Late Model win to start the regular season on Friday night at The Rock, Allegany County Speedway.

In other feature action, Randy Zechman picked up the win in the Sunoco Street Stocks. Marcius VanMeter took the honor in the TC Race Cars Hobby Stocks. Ryan Peer was a new winner for the Factory Stock 4-Cylinders and Jimmy Moreland was declared the winner for an 8-Cylinder race that reached a frightening conclusion.

Sponaugle broke away from the field after taking the lead on the initial start of the 20-lap Limited Late Model feature. Matt Emerick gave chase after emerging with second from a shuffle in turn two.

After lap four, the race went without a caution. Sponaugle led by as much as half of a straightaway before giving up some ground to Emerick in the closing laps. Sponaugle crossed the finish line with about eight car lengths to spare over Emerick.

Daniel Cornman held off Jamey Swank to finish third. Travis Stickley rounded out the top five.

Zechman contended with John Whitfield on a restart on lap eight to get the 16-lap Street Stock win. Zechman led from the start and held off Whitfield on the backstretch following the race's only caution.

Whitfield stayed within a couple of car lengths before Zechman got away to a six car length lead at the conclusion. Behind Whitfield, Rick Wright, Roy Whitfield and Justin Bonnett rounded out the top five.

Hotly contested racing up front continued in the Hobby Stock class. In that 15-lap event, VanMeter turned back a couple of challenges from Steve Fadley in the final four laps. VanMeter earned the victory by a car length over Fadley, David Puckett, Joe Railey and R.T. Troutman.

Puckett finished fourth after running as high as second. A broken  wheel cost him several spots on lap 11.

The restart provided the excitement between VanMeter and Fadley. Fadley jumped to the inside of VanMeter in turns one and two but VanMeter prevailed on the backstretch to retain the lead.

Peer picked up his first-ever win at the speedway by a half of a straightaway over the 4-Cylinder field in the 12-lap race. He raced to the lead on the backstretch of the opening lap after starting fourth.

The rest of the top five spots shuffled frequently behind Peer. His biggest threat came from 15th-starting Nathan Carpenter on a restartat lap four. Peer recaptured the lead on the backstretch and Carpenter fell out two laps later.

Brandon Powell ended up second after a tight battle with third-place finisher Dwain Rhodes. Jason Thompson finished fourth and Daniel Wratchford worked his way back into fifth by recovering from a couple of problems earlier in the race.

The 8-Cylinder race took a shocking turn on the final turns for driver  Ray Shepherd. After powering into the lead on the final lap of the2-lap feature, Shepherd's car veered hard into the turn three wall.  The force blasted Shepherd over the wall.

Luckily, he emerged from the car and reported only some soreness after the crash. With the turn of events coming on the final lap, Moreland was awarded the win for the crossing the finish line over Jason Imes, James Mongan and Alan Lowery.

The Rock hosts the first round of the Maryland Clash for Limited Late Model and Late Model Sportsman cars from the Hagerstown Speedway on Friday, April 25. The race is set for 30-laps and pays $1,000 to win. The bonus, sponsored by A&C Racing Engines, will be calculated based on the three rounds at each track.

Clanton claims MACS opener at The Rock

April 13, 2008


CUMBERLAND, Md. – Shane Clanton fought off Billy Decker to claim the 2008 Mid-Atlantic Championship Series (MACS) opener at The Rock, Allegany County Speedway on Saturday night.

Clanton, of Locust Grove, Ga., won $5,000 for the 50-lap event. In other action, Chad McClellan captured the $1,000 Limited Late Model prize and Michael Lauffer won the Factory Stock 4-Cylinder feature.

In blustery conditions, Clanton paced the field for much of the race. He briefly lost the lead to Decker on lap 37, and then regained it for the final 11 laps. Clanton had an eight car length edge at the finish.

Decker, of Unadilla, N.Y., and Tim Fuller, of Edwards, N.Y., finished second and third. Parkersburg, W.Va., driver Mike Balzano and Gettysburg, Pa., driver Jeremy Miller rounded out the top five.

The win was the first ever on the series and at the speedway for Clanton, who regularly travels the country with the World of Outlaws tour.

Clanton headed off Decker in turn one for the lead at the start. Three cautions in the first eight laps kept the field close but Clanton pulled away by a dozen car lengths between the third caution and lap 14. Decker and Chub Frank, who earlier moved up to third over Balzano, closed in as Clanton approached the back of the field.

After the fourth caution on lap 21, Clanton couldn't shake off Decker. The two lead cars were nose to tail on lap 31 when they began to catch traffic again.

Decker made his first move on lap 34 but Clanton held on. With Frank now joining the battle, Decker took the lead on lap 37 on the  low side in turn three.

Clanton regained the lead on lap 38 by taking to the high side while Decker tried to negotiate traffic in turn four. Frank fell out of third on lap 42 to bring out the final caution and Fuller got by Balzano on the restart to set the field for the finish.

Rounding out the top 10 were Gary Stuhler, Shannon Babb, Jason Covert, Rick Eckert and Ricky Elliott. Forty cars were on hand.

McClellan shot in front of Mike Shoemaker on lap four and led the distance to claim the 20-lap Limited Late Model feature.

McClellan, who started fourth, jumped around Tim Smith and Jamey Swank for second after one lap. Shoemaker, the pole-sitter, gave way to McClellan on lap three but couldn't hold him off again on lap four.

McClellan went on to win by six car lengths. He led by as many as a dozen car lengths until Shoemaker caught up in traffic after halfway. The race went without a caution after lap two when Swank and Smith spun at both ends of the track.

Matt Sponaugle ended up third after starting sixth. Eighth starter Mike Duck was fourth and Travis Stickley completed the top five.

In the Factory Stock 4-Cylinder feature, Lauffer started sixth and gained the top spot from Jeff Tuel on lap three. One lap later,  Tuel lost a wheel and flipped wildly in turn three to end his night.

With the loss of Mark Seiler one lap earlier, Lauffer was left out front to hold off Ryan Peer for the remainder of the 12-lap feature. Lauffer went on the finish out the race a couple of car lengths ahead of Peer.

Brandon Powell worked his way up to third only to lose six spots when his car slowed on the last lap. Dave Friend Jr. ended up third. Nick Iski, who started 13th, ended up fourth and Nathan Carpenter completed the top five.

The Rock will begin its regular season for Limited Late Models, Street Stocks, Hobby Stocks, Factory Stock 4-Cylinders and 8- ylinders on Friday, April 18. Warm-ups are scheduled for 6:45 p.m. For more information, visit the speedway's web site at  www.therockspeedway.com.

The Rock hosts MACS opener Saturday

April 6, 2008


CUMBERLAND, Md. – The Mid-Atlantic Championship Series (MACS) picks up where it left off when the new season begins on Saturday at The Rock, Allegany County Speedway.

The Western Maryland Open 50 gets the season started for the both the MACS tour and the speedway. Super Late Model drivers will be competing for $5,000 to win the feature. The Limited Late Models will be competing for $1,000 to win and the Factory Stock 4-Cylinders will share the opening night of racing.

The 2007 MACS tour ended with Jason Covert celebrating a win on the first night and his second series championship on the final night of The Big Kahuna at The Rock last October. Covert leads the list of 2008 championship hopefuls and a new crop of rookies.

Drivers expected to compete include several familiar with The Rock: Jack Pencil, Chuck Clise, Greg Fetters, Mike Altobelli Jr. and Ron Delano Jr. The latter three are competing with Thomas Baker, Coleby Frye, Russell King, Donnie Lingo Jr. and Tony Lombardi for MACS Rookie of the Year in 2008.

A former winner in the Renegade DirtCar Series at The Rock, Mike Balzano, and Pennsylvania drivers Alex Ferree, Nick Dickson and Matt Lux round out the pre-season list of championship contenders.

Pit gates open at 2 p.m. on Saturday. The grandstands open at 3 p.m. Warm-ups are scheduled for 5-5:30 p.m. Qualifying for the MACS will follow before heats. General admission is $25 for adults and pit admission is $35.

The race is the first of 22 nights at The Rock in 2008. Other highlights on the schedule include two mini-series: The Rock/Hagerstown Clash, a trio of $1,000 to win races in conjunction with the Hagerstown Speedway for Limited Late Models and the two Rock/Winchester (Va.) Speedway Challenge races. Bonus money is up for grabs at the conclusion of those events.

The annual Allegany County Fair race is scheduled for July 27. The Independent Racing Series (IRS) will make its first appearance on Aug. 22 for $5,000 to win for Super Late Models.

The Big Kahuna VIII will conclude the MACS season once again on Oct 2-4. The race will pay $12,000 to win this year, the second-largest payday ever at The Rock.
