JEREMY OTT COLLECTS $3000 WIN FOR DR. ZACHARY CROUSE’S “LEGEND’S SUMMER SLAM” AT PATH VALLEY SPEEDWAY
By Judy McGee Timmons
Jeremy Ott started the Dr. Zachary Crouse “Legend’s Summer Slam”
Race in third position behind Logan Carbaugh & Scott Houdeshell,
where he remained till lap 11, when he moved to second place, after
passing Carbaugh, then moved to first with 6 laps remaining, taking
the win.
Houdeshell pulled to the front of the 24 car lineup on the original
green with Carbaugh, Ott, Devin Friese, & Scott Musselman in the
top 5. A caution came out for Moses Goetz on lap 6, resulting in his
racer being towed to the pits. Jacob Burdette, Dave Benner, & Hunter
McElroy were next on the caution list, when 10 laps were complete,
with an outcome of Burdette going to the pits, & Benner & McElroy
joining their competitors at the rear of the field. Dalton Friese left the
oval with 17 laps in as the racers ran nonstop & the competition
between the top five intensified, as the scoreboard counted down the laps.
Ott pulled beside Houdeshell with six laps remaining, taking control of the lead as Carbaugh, Devin Friese, & Scott Musselman held the top five positions. Ott remained at the top of the line for the remaining laps, taking the win ahead of Houdeshell, Carbaugh, Friese & Musselman. Seth Kearchner, Ryan Walls, Bill Diehl, Kelby Friese, & Colton Friese finished in the top ten positions. Scott Houdeshell had the best speed lap, rounding the circuit at 66.333 MPH in 13.568 seconds.
The Macri Concrete 600 Sprints were brought to the green with Randy Kunkle & Dylan Anderson in the top of the line positions, with Kunkle pulling to the lead, followed by Anderson, Brian Kramer, Tanner Pressley & Brent Shearer in the top five. A caution flag waved with 3 laps complete, when Rick McMichael, Ethan McNew & Daron Kauffman got together in turn 4, relocating McNew to the rear of the restart, while McMichael & Kauffman entered the pits, with McMichael returning to the circuit before the green flag waved. Kunkle, Anderson, Kramer, Pressley & Shearer remained in the top 5, but Pressley & Shearer went into a wheel to wheel battle, with Shearer gaining the fourth place position on lap 7, & continued forward to pass Kramer on lap 13 to claim the third place position. Three laps were remaining when Mike Rankin got the racer on its side in the turn 4 infield, causing considerable damage & completing Rankin's competition for the evening. McMichael also had damage to his racecar coming out of turn one, also taking his racer out of the competition. The reline was Kunkle, Anderson, Shearer, Kramer & Pressley, but you never say it is over, till it is over, as the cars rounded the oval for the final laps, Shearer & Anderson made contact, putting Anderson into the turn 3 infield & Shearer out of the finish, moving Kramer, Pressley, Sheaffer, & Jim Young into the top 5 as Kunkle collected the checkered flag. Kunkle had the best lap speed, traveling 78.268 MPH in 11.499 seconds.
Rohan Beasley took flight from his pole position in the Metzler Auto, Truck & Trailer Wingless Super Sportsman 30 lap feature event, maintaining a comfortable lead ahead of Brandon Shearer, Tony Hampton, Trent Yoder & Brad Mellott for the top five. The drivers held their positions as they ran nonstop, but the comfortable lead for Beasley, began to decrease as Yoder pulled beside Hampton for a battle for third place on lap 11. The top drivers had to maneuver their racers to avoid collision with the slower traffic, as Yoder did while advancing to the front, claiming second by lap 12. Beasley refrained Yoder from taking the lead for 15 laps, then held strong in second place, as he also encountered traffic, giving Yoder a more secure lead. Eric Walker took advantage of open space, getting by Beasley to take second, while Hampton passed Shearer to move into fourth place. Steve Wilbur & Hampton created some wheel to wheel action, with Hampton staying in control as Yoder led them to the checkered. Trent Yoder had the best speed lap, clocking in at 68.379 MPH in 13.162 seconds.
The Cisney Auto Parts Thunder Cars were brought to the green by Jason Erwin & Nicholas Barthalow, with Barthalow taking the lead for 1 lap before Kenny Hill got into the turn 4 infield, putting him to the rear. The top five on the reline were Barthalow, Kevin Bard, Jeremy Eutzy, Erwin and Justin Rasp. Charlie Stallman's ride came to a stop on the frontstretch, putting him to the rear, while Parker Starr's racer went sideways in turn two with 5 laps in, causing Starr to exit the track. Bard moved by Barthalow to take the lead going in to lap 6, as Rasp regained his position by passing Eutzy to take third. On lap 10, a caution was waved for Nicholas Smith & Robert McQuade, with both racers returning to the rear of the line after McQuade took a pit stop to trade out a flat tire. Bard, Barthalow, Rasp, Eutzy & Updegraff were in the top five seats for the restart, with Rasp & Barthalow going into a challenge for second place, as Eutzy & Updegraff also went into a door to door battle in their bid for third place. Rasp moved into second & Updegraff took claim to fourth with Barthalow in the middle, where they remained till Bard passed the checkered flag. Bard also had the best lap speed, going 62.310 MPH in 14.444 seconds.
The T.A. Ward Construction 270 Sprints began their feature event with Matthew Dixson & Tim McClelland sitting in the front row seats. On green, the racers came out of turn four in a four abreast line, with no one giving up their space, resulting in the ride of Alyson Gudosky being shifted into the frontstretch infield. Gudosky rejoined the lineup at the rear, as McClelland pulled to the lead on green, with Dakota Yeingst, Brett Kauffman, Bradyn Kuhn, & Jamie Connelly sitting in the top five. Kuhn, who started in tenth place, drove his racer to fourth place, as the first lap was completed, running behind McClelland, Yeingst, & Kauffman. Jason Houtz came to a stop in front of the flagman's stand with 5 laps complete, from which he entered the pits. A caution was given for Jamie Connelly & Stephanie Welk, who got together racing out of turn two, causing Welk to be towed to the pits as Connelly returned for the restart. McClelland was still at the front, but the spacing between the racecars was decreasing as Kuhn went wheel to wheel with Kauffman, taking third place at midrace. Kuhn was on a mission as he next went door to door with Yeingst, passing him to move into second by lap 13, then set his sight on McClelland, taking the lead with 6 laps still to be logged. Connelly got his machine on its side going into the turn 4 infield, bringing out the red flag, but Connelly walked away from the crash to the cheers of the fans. Kuhn, McClelland, Yeingst, Kauffman & Cronrath were ready for the green with only three laps remaining. McClelland & Yeingst were running in second & third positions, but made contact going down the backstretch, causing them to hook together. McClelland went to the pits, but Yeingst went to the rear for the final three laps. Kuhn brought the racers to the checkered with a change in the top five, as Kauffman, Cronrath, Godusky, & Jordon Knable ended in the top five. Kuhn had the best lap speed traveling 74.788 MPH in 12.034 seconds.
The Strictly Stock division had Steven Jacobs & Codey Beaver on the pole positions with Jacobs, Beaver, Justin Williamson, Rusty Garlock & Josh Norton claiming the top five positions on green. Matthew Kauffman left the oval with 3 laps in, followed by a caution for Shjon Dove, who developed issues in turn two with 5 laps in, putting the racer in the pits. The restart lineup was now Jacobs, Beaver, Williamson, Garlock & Norton, with Jacobs maintaining the lead as Williamson & Garlock put the pressure on the leader, as they pulled away from the remainder of the competitors, running seven nonstop laps before a caution for Anthony Varner waved, when he got into the infield out of turn three, then going to the rear. Norton also had complications when his ride came to a stop in turn three, from which he also went to the pits. Jacobs, Williamson, Garlock, Beaver, & Jimmy Moyer took the green for the final three laps, with Garlock passing Williamson to take second as Jacobs collected the win. Rusty Garlock had the best lap speed at 63.902 MPH in 14.084 seconds.
