From Kalida Landis
HANOVER, Pa. (August 11, 2017) – “It was either wrecker or checker tonight.”
They were Isaac Sneeringer’s first words in victory lane after scoring his third win of the season in the 25-lap Trone Outdoor Advertising “358” sprint car championship event at Trail-Way Speedway Friday night.
“I saw Steve Owings behind me and he’s a hell of a driver,” said Sneeringer after picking up the $1,200 top prize, “We tightened the hell out of it and I almost crashed down thee in turn two once. I love racing here, and Trail-Way has done a great job this year. We’re down on money this year and that’s why we’re only running here.”
Sneeringer started sixth and slid under outside front row starter and race-long leader Joe Trone, Jr. for the race lead in turn two of lap five. Despite making contact with lapped cars twice during the race and heavy late-race pressure from eighth-starting and point leader Steve Owings, Sneeringer hung on for a two-carlength lead at the end, the 16th of his Trail-Way career.
Joe Trone, Jr., Mike Bittinger, and hard-charger J.B. Cunningham (who started 13th), completed the top five.
Qualifiers for the 16 sprint cars were won by Bittinger and Sneeringer.
On the night before leaving for Penn College, Thomasville’s Travis Keiser raced to his first career win in the 20-lap 600cc micro-sprint feature. He held off the late-race challenges of Jim Young with 12th-starting and hard charger Brad Weber, Randy Kunkle, Jr., and Hannah Riser crossing third through fifth.
Heats for the 16 600cc micros were won by Kameron Morral and Steven Bull.
Joe Long Jr, took the lead at the outset from his second starting spot and raced to his first win of the year in the 20-lap Mason Dixon feature for 270cc micro-sprints. Brian Marriott, Steven Cox, Levi Peck, and Zachary Cool crossed second through fifth.
Heats for the 270s were won by Peck and Cool (his first-ever qualifying win).
Kyle Rohrbaugh also won his first of the year in the 15-lap limited stock feature. Rohrbaugh claimed his 34th career win after starting on the pole and leading every lap. Shannon Weaver, Terry Hartlaub, Jason Chronister, and Robbie Carroll rounded out the top five.
Qualifying events for the 19 limited stocks were won by Hartlaub and Weaver.
Next Friday, August 18, Trail-Way returns with the Precise Racing Products 358 Late Model Series along with the Large Tire Street Stocks, Trail-Way Street Stocks and the Mason Dixon 270 Micro Sprints. Gates open at 5:30 p.m., with heats scheduled to begin at 7:45 p.m.
