Record Setting Stock Car Race Announced

For Immediate Release

August 17, 2017 (Sandy Lake, PA) The Homak Penn Ohio Stock Car Series Director, Shaun Hooks and Sharon Speedway General Manager, Dave Willoughby are pleased to announce their plans for a huge Stock Car race to take place at Sharon Speedway in 2018. The race will be 75 laps in length and is scheduled for late June of 2018. It will pay a whopping $10,000 to win. It is scheduled to be a time trial show and will follow the format used by the All Star Sprint Series.

“Dave has always been great to work with through the years,” according to Hooks, who has held several series races in the past at the track located just over the Ohio border. “There might have been a little shock initially when I approached him with the idea, but we are both excited about the potential for this event.”

“The racing has been incredible at Sharon Speedway this season,” Willoughby said. “Our new surface has really paid dividends. The race teams love it, and it shows in the way they have supported us. Shaun has done an excellent job building his series the last several years. They often bring 40 or 50 cars to a Series’ event,” said Willoughby. “I don’t know what $10,000 to-win will bring; that’s part of the excitement. We understand that racers and fans have a lot of choices when it comes to what tracks and series they support. We want to continue to bring new and better events to Sharon Speedway.”

As soon as it becomes available, there will be more information released regarding this event such as sponsors, a complete payoff, rules and the scheduled date.

HOMAK PENN OHIO PRO STOCKS EVENT AT PPMS FINDS WAYNE CARBO IN VICTORY LANE FOR THE WILLIE WHITE MEMORIAL $1,000 TO-WIN A MAIN & JOE STAJNRAJH JR WINS B FEATURE!

For Immediate Release

August 6, 2017 (Sandy Lake, PA) Another great car count for the Homak Penn Ohio Pro Stock Championship Series had 43 cars competing for the $1,000 prize in the Willie White Memorial event at PPMS on Saturday, August 5^th with a $300 to-win B Feature. Wayne Carbo of Saxonburg, PA used home track advantage to park his #54 SS Chassis in victory lane after an impressive 20 lap battle in the A Main Feature capturing the $1,000 prize, while Joe Stajnrajh Jr. of Oil City, PA was victorious in the 12-lap B Feature.

Four heat races had the 43 drivers battling for the top five spots in each heat to advance to the A Main, with the top two participating in a redraw to determine starting position in a 6 lap dash. Heat race winners included substitute driver for Rob Shooks’ #64, Chris Shneider; Todd Weldon #45; substitute driver for Dave McManus’ #114, Daryl Charlier; and Carbo #54. Weldon also secured the dash win over Carbo, Andy Buckley #965, Jason Fosnaught #73, Schneider, Nick Kocuba #10, Charlier, and Danny Rich #67X.

Two B Mains gave drivers another chance to race their way to the feature event with the top two in each B Main advancing. B Main winners were Rusty Moore #17M and Brian Rhed #69R. Advancing as provisionals to make a 26 car field were Andy Poljack #36 for the track and Rusty Martz #16M for Penn Ohio.

Dash winner Weldon was to lead the 26 car field to the green, however Weldon did not start the feature event. As a result, Carbo took the pole position with Buckley beside him and led a field of 25 cars for the 20-lap Willie White Memorial event. Carbo would lead lap one, but a quick caution flew before more than one lap could be completed. Carbo would restart on the outside with Buckley on the inside while Fosnaught and Schneider followed in the third and fourth positions.

Carbo claimed lap two and would race with Buckley door-to-door swapping the lead for several laps. Schneider battled with the leaders to make exciting three-wide racing action for the fans. On lap 9, Charlier drove past Buckley and Schneider claiming the runner-up spot with one lap later taking over the lead from Carbo. Schneider held onto third moving Buckley to fourth. Charlier wasn’t able to maintain the lead for long as mechanical issues had him bringing out the second caution of the race on lap 11 and retiring to the pits.

Before lap 12 could be completed, another caution flag would fly for spinning cars in turns 3 and 4. The field regrouped with Carbo choosing the outside line putting Schneider on the inside followed by Buckley and Danny Rich #67X. Carbo and Schneider put on a great show with a door-to-door battle and just when Schneider made the winning move over Carbo, the final caution of the 20-lap event would fly on lap 17. The battle behind the leaders was also heating up between Buckley and ninth-starter, Bobby Whitling #7W for the third spot.

Carbo again used the outside line to lead the pack for the remaining two laps. At the checkers, Carbo edged Schneider by .286 seconds. Buckley captured the third spot over Whitling, while Andrew Gordon #25 finished an impressive fifth after restarting at the tail for his involvement in a lap 11 caution. Bob Schwartzmiller #28S finished in sixth followed by Danny Rich, Nick Kocuba, Randy Wyant #11T, and Joel Johns #M5 to round out the top 10.

Fans were treated to an additional feature for those drivers who did not qualify for the A Main event. Jamie Duncan #67J and Jackson Humanic #17 led the field to the green for the 12-lap race. Duncan held the lead while Humanic, Noah Brunell #31, and Joe Stajnrajh Jr. crossed the line three-wide in a battle for second. However, racing action slowed for a caution.

Duncan restarted the race with Stajnrajh by his side. By the completion of lap 2, Stajnrajh took over the lead and would be uncontested for the remaining non-stop green laps. Stajnrajh’s #04 Farm Boys Chassis is sponsored by R&R Garage, Les Frickshun, ATS, Bish Heating & Cooling, and Blood Therapy. Duncan finished in the runner up spot followed by Brunell, Jacob Billyk #4 and Mark Lee #25L.

An unfortunate night for Series’ member Andrew Gordon #25 had him in victory lane after an impressive battle with fellow Series’ member Chris McGuire #63 only to be disqualified in the post-race tech for illegal suspension. As a result, McGuire was granted the $1,000 victory in his Bob Swanson’s Garage, X-treme Graphics, Treiger Race Engines, Welder’s Supply, Beacon Lubricants, H & K Donuts, Tobber Racing sponsored machine.

Six heat races had the 51 drivers battling for the top three spots in each heat to advance to the A Main.

Advancing as provisionals to make a 26 car field were Andy Thompson 5 for the track and Brian Rhed 69R for Penn Ohio.

McGuire and Martz led the field to the green for the 25-lap $1,000 to-win event. Fourth-starter Gordon quickly made his way to second passing Martz on lap three. On lap four, Gordon closed in on McGuire and the two began to pull away as the battle out front, as well as throughout the pack, provided the fans with exciting racing action. The leaders would encounter lap traffic on lap 10 with caution-free racing until lap 14. Four cautions would occur before lap 15 could be completed.

Once green flag racing resumed, McGuire and Gordon were door-to-door continuing to battle for the top spot from lap 16-20 with Gordon being scored as the leader on lap 18. The yellow flag would slow racing action on lap 21 for Tim Deutsch’s #20. Under the caution Chris Schneider #55 who made his way from the 12^th spot to third exited to the pits with a flat tire. Two additional cautions would bunch up the field for the remaining laps. At the checkers, Gordon was ahead of McGuire by 1.619 seconds before the post-race disqualification. Whitling advanced to the runner-up spot, Paul Davis’ #3 from 15^th to third making him the recipient of the Shaffer’s Auto & Exhaust $50 Hard Charger Award, Jason Fosnaught 73 to fourth, Martz 16M finished an impressive fifth after spinning on lap 14 and restarting at the tail.

Fans were treated to an exciting 25-lap, caution-free race in the 2016 Homak Penn Ohio make-up “Apple Festival Nationals” feature finding Chris Schnedier’s #55 on top. Schneider made an impressive charge from the 11^th starting spot to capture the lead from Andy Buckley on lap 19 and park the SS Chassis in victory lane for the first time in 2017 claiming the $2,000 prize.

“This was impressive; I have to thank these guys for such a nice race track, the guys for racing clean- that was beautiful I wish we could always do that,” stated the 38-year-old Lower Burrell, Pa. driver. “I have a lot of experience on this red clay. It’s very similar to what Lernerville (Speedway) has. It’s tricky. You have to learn where to go, where the grip is, and where it’s not. It can be slippery as can be and really bitey, and as you can see I have mud on the front of my car. It’s been a rough year. I rolled a car here, we had a motor issue, and there’s been a lot of rain outs. I feel bad for these tracks- they have such good facilities and the weather just hasn’t cooperated, but this was the one I wanted to win.”

Leading the way to the green were track regulars Brian Carothers 02c and Andy Buckley 965. Carothers held onto the lead for one lap before Buckley took command on lap two. Randy Wyant 11T started in fourth and took the runner up spot from Carothers on lap four. Rusty Moore 17M passed Carothers for third from the 7^th starting spot on lap five. Wyant closed the gap on Buckley and was on his bumper by lap 10. The leaders would battle through lap traffic on lap 12.

Schneider found a fast line on the outside and made his presence known on lap 15 when he took over third from Moore. Lap 17 found a four-car race between Buckley, Wyant, Schnedier and Moore. Wyant would drop to third on lap 18 giving Schneider an opportunity to take the top spot from Buckley on lap 19. On lap 21 Wyant recaptured second over Buckley.

Schneider would be uncontested in the remaining laps crossing the finish line with a .813 of a second over Wyant. Tenth-starter Paul Davis #3 used the high line to finish in third, Moore finished in fourth, while Steve D’Apolito 84 captured fifth after starting 12^th. Jackson Humanic 17 came home in sixth, followed by Buckley in seventh, Bobby Whitling 7W in eighth, hard-charger Chris McGuire’s #63 from 26^th in ninth and Curtis Bish 29 rounding out the top 10.

THE PENN OHIO PRO STOCK CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES ENDS THE RACE WEEKEND AT ERIEZ AND FINDS RUSTY MARTZ IN VICTORY LANE FOR THE $1,000 TO-WIN SHOW!

For Immediate Release

July 17, 2017 (Sandy Lake, PA) With forty-two stock cars competing on Friday night, officials expected about the same car count for Sunday’s event and were thrilled when forty-four cars showed up. It is apparent drivers are ready to race after so many rained out events and that was proven this weekend as many traveled over two hours for both events. Current Homak Penn Ohio Pro Stock Championship Series’ Point Leader and winner of the Ed Laboon Memorial event at PPMS back in June, Rusty Martz of Brookville, PA, parked his #16M SS Chassis in victory lane after leading the A Main 20-lap event from green to checker.

As Eriez does not run hot laps, many drivers pulled onto the track for the very first time to race an eight lap heat race. Five heat races had four drivers advancing to the A Main feature and the top two participating in the pill draw for starting position. Heat race winners were Rusty Martz #16M; Randy Wyant #11T; Pat Fielding #23; Don McGuire #630; and Chris McGuire #63.

Prior to running the two B Mains, drivers gave fans a thrill by participating in autograph night sponsored by Phantom Signs and Shirts. The front stretch from turn 1 to turn 4 was packed with cars in all divisions.

Once racing resumed after the autograph session, two drivers from each 10-lap B Main would advance to the A Main while the other twenty-four drivers would end their evening early. Winners of the B Mains were Friday night’s Raceway 7 Feature Winner, Bobby Whitling #7W, and Brad Church #40. Unlike Friday night at Raceway, no provisionals were granted and 24 cars would start the feature.

Leading the 24 car field to the green in the twenty lap feature were Martz and Brian Rhed’s #69R. Martz quickly jumped out front and although Garrett Calvert #77 and Paul Davis #3 slowed on the track at the start no caution flag was needed as they were able to exit to the infield and pits without incident. Nine laps without any cautions had leaders, Martz followed by Rhed, Bill Applebee #9, Rusty Moore #17M, and Randy Wyant #11T, catching the back of the field, but before leaders lapped anyone, Michael Reed spun in turn 4 right in front of Martz to bring out the yellow on lap 10.

A Delaware restart gave Martz breathing room over the fast pack of drivers. The restart benefited Wyant as he was able to pass Moore and Applebee for the third spot while Rhed held onto second. A second caution came out for Brandon Groters in turns 3 & 4 as he made his way from the twelfth spot to the sixth spot before spinning his #22 car. Under the yellow Curt Bish’s #29 retired to the pit area.

Racing would resume with Martz having the sole spot out front in another Delaware restart followed by Rhed, Wyant, Applebee and Bill Hurrelbrink’s #c8. The restart again had Wyant advancing taking over the second spot from Rhed. Chris McGuire #63 was also able to advance to the top five as he passed Hurrelbrink on the restart. Green lap racing would continue with door to door action from fourth back through the pack until the caution flag flew on lap 16 finding Jamie Duncan’s #67J and Jackson Humanic’s #17 exiting to the pits.

Again without feeling pressured for that top spot yet, Martz maintained control in a Delaware restart. Wyant had the choice of the inside or outside lane and although he used the inside lane to pass Rhed, he chose to restart on the outside with Rhed on the inside. The restart found Rhed using the inside to his advantage to take back the second spot. After one more lap in the books, the final caution would slow the racing action as many cars were involved in a mishap in turn 4 sending many drivers to the pits before completing the final three laps.

The last restart of the 20-lap event had Martz leading the remaining 15 cars back to green for 3 final laps. Martz maintained his smooth and consistent run to park his #16M in victory lane for the $1,000 win. Rhed held on for second, Wyant with another strong finish in third, Chris McGuire making his way to fourth, and Moore rounding out the top five with another consistent top five run. Crossing the checkers in sixth was Applebee, Hurrelbrink in seventh, Leigh Wheeler #717 in eighth, Pat Fielding #23 in ninth, and tenth went to hard-charger of the race, Tim Bish in #1B, advancing 10 positions.

Contingency prizes awarded went to: Rusty Martz #16M, Hoosier Tire from Precise Racing & Hoosier Tire Mid-Atlantic; Chris McGuire #63c, American Racer Tire from Lias Tire; Tim Bish #1B advancing 10 positions, $50 Hard Charger from Shaffer’s Auto & Exhaust; Nick Kocuba #10, $25 Certificate from Big Daddy’s Speed Center; Pat Fielding #23, $100 certificate Close Racing Products; Brian Rhed #69R, case of oil from Les Frickshun; Jacob Billyk #4, $75 certificate Genesis Shocks; Bill Hurrelbrink #c8, $50 certificate from Schoenfeld Headers; Fuzzy Fields #28, $25 certificate from ARbodies; Andy Buckley #965, $25 certificate from Big Daddy’s; Jeff Broniszewski #08, $25 certificate from Wedge Motorsports; Joe Stajnrajh Jr. #04, $25 gift card from Precise Racing Products; Paul Davis #3, fuel jug from Precise Racing Products; Randy Wyant #11T, wheel cover from Dirt Defender; Tim Bish #1B, Hood Scoop from Dirt Defender.

GREAT NIGHT OF RACING AT RACEWAY 7 FOR THE HOMAK PENN OHIO PRO STOCK CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES - - BOBBY WHITLING WALKS AWAY WITH THE $1,000 WIN OVER THE 42 CAR FIELD!

For Immediate Release

July 15, 2017 (Sandy Lake, PA) Forty-two stock cars were on hand to compete in the $1,000 to-win event at Raceway 7 on Friday night. After many rained out events for tracks and the Series, Mother Nature finally cooperated and provided a beautiful night for some great racing action. Homak Penn Ohio Pro Stock Championship Series’ Member, Bobby Whitling of Seneca, PA, parked his #7W slider chassis in victory lane after leading the A Main 20-lap event from green to checker.

After hot lap sessions, five heat races proved to be exciting racing action for the fans. Heat race winners were Mike Clark #7; Ryan Newman #12; Tim Deutsch #20; Rusty Martz #16M; and Bobby Whitling #7W. The top four drivers from each heat advanced to the A Main feature, with the top two participating in a redraw for feature starting position.

Two B Mains gave drivers another opportunity to make the Main event with the top 2 from each B Main advancing. Winners of the B Mains were Bill Hurrelbrink #c8 and Chris McGuire #63. The two drivers who advanced to the A Main through provisionals were Brian Rhed #69R for Penn Ohio and Jimmy Kennerknecht #18K for the track provisional.

Leading the 26 car field to the green in the twenty lap feature were Whitling and Jamie Duncan #67J. Whitling was out in front of Duncan entering turn two but the caution flag would fly quickly for fourth-starter, Deutsch’s #20 spinning in turn 2 at the start. When racing resumed, Whitling again had the lead while Rusty Martz claimed the 2^nd spot from Duncan. With only one lap in, the caution would wave for slowed cars on the backstretch entering turn 3. Shaun Fawcett’s #224 and Rod Laskey’s #1R would exit to the pit area not to return, while Jackson Humanic #17 pitted for a flat and was able to return before racing resumed.

A Delaware restart gave Whitling the sole spot in the front with Martz and Duncan in tow, followed by Newman and Bobby Heim #92. Drivers were able to complete two more laps before the third caution of the race slowed racing action for Don McGuire’s #630. Under the yellow, Fuzzy Fields #28 and Rob Shook #64 made their way to the pits with Shook retiring for the night and Fuzzy Fields returning for more racing action.

With three laps complete, Whitling would lead the cars to another restart and maintain the lead over Martz, Duncan, Rusty Moore #17M, and Russ Byler #06R rounding out the top five. However a fourth caution flag would fly on lap 7 for McGuire’s #630 on the front stretch entering turn 1. The drivers would get one more lap in before the last caution flag of the event flew for Joe Stajnrajh’s #04.

Racing action was heating up and would find cars swapping positions throughout the field each lap, but Whitling was smooth in his #7W for the remaining caution-free twelve laps. Moore would come from the ninth spot to capture second from Duncan and hard-charger, Randy Wyant #11T, at the flagman. Martz held on for fifth over Newman, Deutsch, Leigh Wheeler #717, Paul Davis #3, and Chris McGuire #63 rounding out the top ten, respectively.

Contingency prizes awarded went to: Bobby Whitling, Hoosier Tire from Precise Racing & Hoosier Tire Mid-Atlantic; Chris McGuire, American Racer Tire from Lias Tire; Randy Wyant advancing 12 positions, $50 Hard Charger from Dirt Diggin’ Chassis; Jimmy Kennerknecht, $25 Certificate from Big Daddy’s Speed Center; Bobby Whitling, racing rim from S S Chassis; Tim Deutsch, $100 certificate Close Racing Products; Curt Bish #00, case of oil from Les Frickshun; Rusty Moore, $75 certificate Genesis Shocks; Paul Davis, $50 certificate from Schoenfeld Headers; Nick Kocuba, $25 certificate from ARbodies; Bobby Heim, $25 certificate from Big Daddy’s; Leigh Wheeler, $25 certificate from Wedge Motorsports; Gary Fisher, $25 gift card from Precise Racing Products; Jesse Brock, fuel jug from Precise Racing Products; Andy Buckley, wheel cover from Dirt Defender.

THE HOMAK PENN OHIO PRO STOCK CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES RETURNS TO THUNDER MOUNTAIN AND FINDS SERIES MEMBER, FUZZY FIELDS IN VICTORY LANE!

For Immediate Release

June 19, 2017 (Sandy Lake, PA) The Homak Penn Ohio Pro Stock Championship Series returned to Thunder Mountain on Friday, June 16^th, to finish what they started back on May 19^th. With three laps complete, 21 of the 30 drivers returned to battle for 22 more laps hoping to capture the $1,500 pay day. In the end Brockway driver, Fuzzy Fields parked his #28 VSI Racing machine in victory lane holding the big Homak Penn Ohio check.

Rusty Martz, who captured the Ed Laboon Memorial win at PPMS, was looking to make it two-in-a-row as he led the field to the green flag in a Delaware style start. Much like the original start on May 19^th, it took a few cautions and unfortunate crashes to get consecutive, green flag racing underway. It was lap six when drivers were able to settle in, caution-free, allowing Fields to pressure Martz for the lead. Fields made the pass on lap 8 pulling to a comfortable lead over Martz.

Brent Johnson, who suffered mechanical issues on May 19^th, restarted in the 19^th position and found himself in third on lap 7. A caution flag on lap 12 would bunch the field up and determine if Johnson had the car to take the lead from Fields. Johnson was able to take second from Martz on lap 13 only to find himself in the same situation as May 19^th stopping on the track on lap 15 experiencing mechanical woes, exiting to the pits.

Fields would sit in the top spot followed by Martz, Bill Hurrelbrink, Bobby Whitling and Leigh Wheeler. After one more caution on the restart, the field would bunch back up and Fields was able to secure the top spot with continuous green flag racing from lap 16 to lap 25. Martz held onto second followed by Hurrelbrink for third, Rusty Moore in fourth, and substitute driver Paul Cott in the Brian Rhed machine rounding out the top five. Charging from the 22^nd spot, Jeff Broniszewski finished in sixth, with Randy Wyant in seventh, Leigh Wheeler in eighth, Jackson Humanic in ninth, and Gary Luzier in tenth.

Fields walked away with the $1,500 and a Hoosier tire from Precise Racing Products. Hurrelbrink was awarded the American Racer Tire from Lias Tire. The Hard Charger award presented by Shaffer’s Auto and Exhaust went to Jeff Broniszewski.

The next Homak Penn Ohio Pro Stock Championship Series event will be on Friday, July 14^th at Raceway 7 and Sunday, July 16^th at Eriez Speedway.

IMPRESSIVE SHOWING OF PRO STOCKS FOR 6^TH ANNUAL ED LABOON MEMORIAL HOMAK PENN OHIO SERIES EVENT AT PPMS!

For Immediate Release

June 6, 2017 (Sandy Lake, PA) A whooping 56 cars showed up to participate in the 6^th Annual Ed Laboon Memorial Homak Penn Ohio Pro Stock Championship race Saturday night at PPMS. The $2,517 to-win, 25 lap A Main proved to be the race of the night with pole sitter Rusty Martz (16M) leading the pack of 28 cars from green to checker for the win. The victory was the Brookville driver’s second Ed Laboon Memorial Race win, with the first being the 4^th Annual Memorial in 2015, making Martz the sole repeat race winner.

Drivers had an opportunity to qualify for heat race starting positions. Fastest qualifier was Randy Wyant (11T) with a lap of 21.823 seconds, followed by Bobby Heim (92) 22.080, Curt Bish (29) 22.359, Bill Hurrelbrink (c8) 22.390, Bob Schwartzmiller (28S) 22.517, and Todd Weldon (45) 22.526. From qualifying, drivers were divided into six heat races with the top three drivers transferring to the A Main.

Heat race winners were Martz, Dave McManus (114), Bish, Joel Johns (M5), A.J. Poljak (36), and Weldon. The heat winners competed in a Dash to determine the top six starting spots for the main event. Fifth-starter, Martz, won the dash earning the pole position for the Ed Laboon Memorial, followed by Poljak, Bish, Weldon, McManus, and Johns.

Three B-Main events gave drivers an additional opportunity to qualify for the A Main with the top three finishers transferring. Winners were Joe Wrona (15), Corey McPherson (c33), and Bill Robertson (1B). Joe Stajnrajh (04) was the Homak Penn Ohio Pro Stock series provisional completing the 28 car starting grid.

Martz and Poljak led the 25 lap Ed Laboon Memorial to the green flag with fourth-starter and former race winner Todd Weldon quickly moving to second on the first lap. Weldon used the outside to pass Martz on lap 7 coming out of turn 2, but Martz held the bottom line in turn 3 and 4 to his advantage regaining the lead at the scoring line. With the race heating up between Martz and Weldon, it appeared that heavy lap traffic could be an issue for the front runners. As the leaders entered turn 1 on lap 9, two cars spun in turn 2 bringing out the first caution period.

Seventh-starter Wyant would restart in third, followed by McManus and Rusty Moore (17M). The side-by-side lead battle continued on the restart with Martz low and Weldon high, but the next caution period came with 10 laps in for former race winner Jeff Broniszewski (08) who caught the front stretch wall. Prior to resuming the race, Weldon stopped on the back stretch appearing to experience mechanical issues. With a quick push, Weldon was able to get back to speed and resumed the outside starting position.

Three green laps would find the same intense racing action before the caution flag would fly again on lap 13 for Bish spinning in turn 2. The slow, caution laps had Weldon’s #45 machine come to a stop, requiring a push to get back to his second starting position. When the green flag dropped, it was clear Weldon was experiencing mechanical issues but got it up to speed to hang onto second for one more lap before slowing on the track, bringing out the yellow and retiring to the pit area. Wyant would find himself in second outside of Martz, with McManus, Moore, and eleventh-starter, Wayne Carbo (54) in fifth.

When racing resumed, Wyant quickly jumped to the bottom line behind Martz going into turn one leaving the high side to Carbo. Unfortunately a pile up in turn 2 collected numerous top runners and would bring out the fifth and final caution of the event. Racing would resume with Wyant again on the outside, Moore in third, Carbo in fourth, and 25^th starter Chris Schneider (64) in fifth. Laps 16 through 25 were smooth sailing for Martz as he cruised to the win over Wyant by 2.681 seconds. Carbo crossed the line in third with Moore in fourth and Schneider in fifth. Inaugural race winner Bob Schwartzmiller was sixth from the 23rd starting spot, followed by Nick Kocuba from 27th, previous race winner Curt Bish, Joel Johns, and Kyle Moore rounding out the top ten.

HOMAK PENN OHIO PRO STOCK CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES HAS ANOTHER DISAPPOINTING END AT THUNDER MOUNTAIN THANKS TO MOTHER NATURE’S UNEXPECTED DOWN POUR!

For Immediate Release

May 21, 2017 (Sandy Lake, PA) Clear skies and no rain in the forecast all week gave hope that the first Homak Penn Ohio Pro Stock race of the 2017 season would be in the books after Friday night at Thunder Mountain. Unfortunately, those clear skies turned to overcast with threatening rain throughout the evening. As the A Main got underway, a sudden downpour ended the night early with three laps complete.

Thirty stock cars were on hand to compete in the $1,500 to-win event. Twenty-nine out of the thirty drivers were Homak Penn Ohio Series’ members. After hot lap sessions, drivers had an opportunity at two laps for qualifying to determine heat race starting positions. Brent Johnson captured the $100 Dirt Diggin’ Chassis prize with his 17.872 fastest qualifying lap.

Other contingency prizes were awarded through random drawing prior to heat races. Recipients were Leigh Wheeler, bead lock rim from S S Chassis; Rod Laskey, $100 certificate Close Racing Products; Ryan Newman, case of oil from Les Frickshun; Joe Stajnrajh, $75 certificate Genesis Shocks; Jeff Broniczewski, $50 certificate from Schoenfeld Headers; Jim Bloom, $25 certificate from ARbodies; Bill Hurrelbrink, $25 certificate from Big Daddy’s; Brent Johnson, $25 certificate from Wedge Motorsports; Rusty Moore, $25 gift card from Precise Racing Products; Jacob Billyk, fuel jug from Precise Racing Products; Bobby Heim, $25 certificate from Big Daddy’s.

Four heat races proved to be exciting races for the fans. Heat race winners were Brent Johnson, Russ Byler, Brian Rhed, and Rusty Martz. The top two drivers from each heat participated in a redraw for feature starting position. All drivers advanced to the A Main from the heat races.

The A Main event had twenty-seven cars begin the 25 lap race. Rusty Martz and Brian Rhed led the pack to the green. Brian Rhed found himself spinning coming out of turn two on the start in front of the field. While action was slowed, Rhed went to the pits along with Rob Shook and Jacob Billyk. Shook and Rhed were able to return before the restart to tag the end of the field, along with Andrew Gordon who didn’t take the original green.

The second attempt to get racing underway was also unsuccessful as the yellow flew for Bruce Hartzfeld and Joe Stajnrajh on the back stretch. Third time proved to be a charm and the race was on with Martz leading the first three laps over Fuzzy Fields, Russ Byler, Brent Johnson, and Rusty Moore. The caution flag would fly for Brent Johnson who seemed to experience mechanical woes on the back stretch before lap 4 could be completed.

Drivers were in place for a Delaware restart with Martz leading but the caution flag would come right back out for the slowed 101 of Hartzfeld on the front stretch. The sudden down pour would stop the race on lap 3 sending cars to the pits and officials calling the rest of the event a wash.

Drivers will have an opportunity to finish the remaining 22 laps for $1,500 to-win on Friday, June 16^th. The remaining contingency prizes will be awarded after the 25 lap event: Hoosier Tire from Precise Racing Products; American Racer Tire from Lias Tire; and $50 hard charger award from Shaffer’s Auto and Exhaust. Thunder Mountain will run the make-up feature prior to their regular Father’s Day show. The new event for stocks will be a $600 to-win race.
