Saturday, May 5 was opening night for the 2001 Racing Season at Marion Center Speedway. The season opener was filled with excitement as the competitors took to the racetrack in the new FIVE Divisions set up at the quarter-mile dirt track. The new program for the speedway includes the Micro-Sprints, Pro-Stock (formerly Pure Stock), Strictly Stock (new), Super Stock (aka limited late models) and the Late Models, which do Not have the sideboards for this season.
The Micro-Sprints took to the track first; fielding the largest number of cars with 32 signing in at the pits. Jim Wolfe (Zelienople), Brian Riddle (Brookville) and Rodney Glass (Fort Loudon) picked up wins in the Heats, and a Consolation Race was held to determine the bottom half of the feature line-up. Wayne Blolneheimback (Selinsgrove) picked up the consy win. Returning Points Champion, Jim Young (Johnstown) took the Micro-Sprint Feature by holding off last season's second place finisher, Jeff Bacha (Indiana). Bacha kept the the race exciting as he pushed Young to the limits of the race track to try and get around him. Brain Walker (Somerset) was not far behind the top two and placed third for the feature. Vince Berardinelli (Jeanette) finished fourth, Daryl Dunmire (Ford City) fifth, Wayne Blolneheimback (Selinsgrove) sixth, Rodney Glass (Fort Loudon) seventh, Mike Ruttkamp (Connecticut) eighth, Brian Riddle (Brookville) ninth and Karlin Miller (Apollo) tenth.
For its debut at Marion Center Speedway, the Strictly Stock Division combined some old and new names for the feature. Former Pure Stock Division drivers Jody Bish (Mayport) and Robert James (Mahaffey) took first and second respectively. First time driver at the track, Tim Laughard (Strongstown) took third. Randy Reed (Punxsutawney) has been around the clay oval before and placed fourth in the feature. Kenny Mumau (East Run) took home fifth place for his first showing at the track. It was Randy Reed picking up the heat win for the Strictly Stocks.
Scott Stein (Cherry Tree) was the first winner of the newly formed Pro-Stock Division for the 2001 racing season. It was a sweet victory for Stein who finished second in the Season Championship race last season. Stein looked really strong on the track and had also won his heat race. Mike Laughard (Twin Rocks) drove to a second place for his first time at the speedway. John Weaver (Commodore) place third, Jeff Sweeney (Marion Center) fourth, Alvin Little (Clymer) fifth, Jeff Taylor (Corsica) the Pure Stock Season Champion was sixth, Jim Laughard (Strongstown) seventh, Tim White (Punxsutawney) eighth, Eric Lingenfelter (Indiana) ninth and Harold Sebring (East Run) tenth. Tom Snyder (Mayport) picked up the heat race win.
In the Super Stock, or otherwise referred to as the Limited Late Models, the top contenders that took heats were out of the feature early in a five car crash on the first lap. Maybe being to eager to take the first green flag of the season contributed to the mishap, but it left out heat race victors, Cheyenne Reed (Punxsutawney), and Ray Bowser (Black Lick) out of the race; as well as John Reed (Reynoldsville) Tom Jobe got mixed up in the early crash, but was able to continue along with Elkin Lingenfelter (Indiana) and Steve Watkins (Dixonville). After the crash, but was able to continue along with Elkin Lingenfelter (Indiana) and Steve Watkins (Dixonville). After the Super Stocks got things rolling, Ted Gallaher (Flinton) took the first win of the season. Elkin Lingenfelter came in second and Dan Stormer (Brookville) took third. Tim Hallowell (Reynoldsville) was fourth and Dave Buchanan (Cherry Tree) got fifth. Sixth went to Heath Gaston (Rochester Mills); seventh was Steve Watkins (Dixonville); eighth-Bob Hill (Ringgold); ninth Doug Boyer (Punxsutawney) and tenth went to Tom Jobe (Covode).
The Late Models ran for the first time in a long time without sideboards at Marion Center Speedway. But winning the feature wasn't new for Jerry Redden (Mahaffey) who has been there and done that, but never enough. Redden took the lead away from Jeff Henry (Butler) before the crossed flags came out and stayed out front to secure the win. The going wasn't that easy though as Jason Carnahan (Indiana) and Henry battled behind the leader for second place; and both not giving up on taking the lead. Carnahan won out over Henry for second, Henry took third and Matt Gaston (Rochester Mills) was fourth. Bob Bertges (Pittsburgh) finished fifth, Brandon Wearing (Callery) sixth, Gary Pease (Ernest) seven, Tim Vranna (Starford) eighth, Mike McKendree (Brookville) ninth, and Paul Michny (Pine Flats) was tenth. The Late Model heats were won by Gary Pease and Bob Wearing (Callery).
Looking ahead on the Marion Center Speedway schedule, next Saturday night be sure to bring Mom to the races for the Mother's Day Special. Also this month, there will be special races held this season on Memorial Day Monday as well as the regular Saturday night racing that weekend. So be sure to come to the top of the hill for the tops in racing at Marion Center Speedway. The track is located off Route 119 between Indiana and Punxsutawney.

Saturday night racing at Marion Center Speedway was filled with excitement in all five divisions to the pleasure of the fans that helped fill up the grandstands.
A red flag for a roll over, and a few caution flags were part of the excitement in the Micro Sprint Division. Out in front of all the activity was poll sitter Brian Walker (Somerset) who led the entire race for the win. Jay Groves (Sugar Grove) finished in second place, and Jim Young (Johnstown) was third. Fourth place went to Jeff Bacha (Indiana) with Jim Horwat (Clymer) claiming fifth. Sixth through tenth places were filled respectively by Vince Berardinelli (Jeanette), Daryl Dunmire (Ford City), Brian Riddle (Brookville) Tim Robertson (Plumboro), and Mike Himes (Summerville). The heats went to Jim Horwat, and Jay Groves.
The new Strictly Stock Division at Marion Center Speedway continues to grow in the car count. this week, newcomer Ron Hanna (Mundy's Corner) was the feature winner. Another new addition, Shawn Lamoreau (Grampian) finished second. A regular at the track, Robert James split up the new bunch by taking third. Fourth was filled by Larry Matter (Plumboro), Nathan Miller (Marion Center) was fifth. Kenny Mumau (East Run) was sixth, Jesse Spade (Marion Center) - seventh, and Matt Hugill (Mahaffey) - eighth. Hanna also swept the heat race.
The Late Model feature was won by Bob Wearing, Jr. (Callery) after he took the lead away from Gary Pease (Ernest) who acquired that position from the starting grid. Pease left the track with car problems three-fourths of the way through the feature. Duane Steiner (Houtsdale) kept Wearing honest by pushing him around the track, waiting for that chance to pass. Behind Steiner's second place finish was Jeff Henry (Butler). Paul Michny (Pine Flats) was fourth. Spanky Dougherty (Sarver) took fifth, Ken Schaltenbrand (Kittanning) sixth, Ray Weaver (Home) seventh, Mike McKendree (Brookville) - eighth, Jerry Redden (Mahaffey) ninth, and Dave Peterman (Indiana). The heats went to Bob Wearing, Jr. and Jeff Henry.
Bruce Walker (Punxsutawney) led most of the laps in the Pro Stock Division feature to get the win. Tom Snyder (Ringgold) took second place and Rusty Martz (Brookville) was third. Harold Sebring (East Run) picked up a fourth place finish and fifth place was taken by Scott Stein (Cherry Tree). Randy Reed (Punxsutawney) finished in sixth, Jeff Taylor (Corsica) seventh, Tim White (Punxsutawney) eighth. Ninth went to Eric Lingenfelter, and tenth went to John Weaver (Commodore). The heat races were won by Tom Snyder (Ringgold) and Scott Stein (Cherry Tree).
The outside poll was the ticket for Jerry Timchak (Houtsdale) who started there and rode it out for the win. Elkin Lingenfelter (Indiana) placed second after taking the position from Dwayne Bash (Heilwood) who was third. Fourth place went to Ted Gallaher (Flinton). Steve Watkins (Dixonville) took home fifth place. Rounding out the rest of the top ten finishers were Cheyenne Reed (Punxsutawney) -sixth, Jeff Weakland (Hastings) -seventh, Tim Hallowell (Reynoldsville) -eighth, Dave Buchanan (Cherry Tree) -ninth, and Bob Hill (Ringgold) -tenth. The Super Stock heats were won by Tim Hallowell and Dwayne Bash.
This weekend will be Memorial Day weekend and Marion Center will be very active with racing on Saturday night, as well as Monday night (Memorial Day *May 28th*). The racing program will be varied slightly for the special event with the elimination of the Super Stock class for that night-but they can run with the late models in a twin 25 lap feature event. All other divisions will run also.

Saturday night at Marion Center Speedway started off the first half of the Memorial Day Weekend festivities at the quarter-mile clay oval situated between Indiana and Punxsutawney, off route 119. The regular racing program for all five divisions was well attended and brought in nearly 100 cars into the pits.
The first feature of the evening was the Micro-Sprints. Jim Young (Johnstown) took the race from the beginning, and led the entire feature from start to finish. Darryl Dunmire (Ford City) spent the time chasing Young but couldn't overtake the number 8 of Young and had to settle for second best for the evening. Jeff Bacha (Indiana) also spent time near the front of the pack of micros, but finished in third. Fourth place went to Brian Riddle (Brookville), Jay Groves (Sugar Grove) took fifth, Kevin Conrad (Altoona) sixth, Vince Berardinelli (Jeanette) seventh, Mike Crane (Cabot) eighth, Jim Horwat (Clymer) ninth, and Tim Robertson (Plumboro) tenth. The heat races went to Jeff Bacha and Jim Horwat.
The Strictly Stock feature was won by Matt Hugill (Mahaffey) who too the lead from Robert James just past the halfway mark of the race. Robert James (Mahaffey) came in second place, and Dan Mazzaferro (Blairsville) took third. Jay Getch (Covode) was fourth, Jesse Spade (Marion Center) fifth, Leo Cleveland (Cylertown) sixth and Larry Matter (Plumboro) seventh. The preliminary heat was also won by Hugill.
Tom Snyder (Ringgold) was the dominating force in the Pro-Stock Division. Snyder led all but the first lap of the feature to claim the victory. Denny Walker (Punxsutawney) go to the inside of Scott Stein to take second place, pushing Stein (Cherry Tree) back to third, Rusty Martz (Brookville) came in fourth place, and Jeff Taylor (Corsica) took fifth. Rounding out the top ten in order were: Don Waltman (Punxsutawney) Dave Humble (Ringgold), Jeff Sweeney (Marion Center), John Weaver ( Commodore), and Alvin Little (Clymer). The Pro-Stock heats were won by Rusty Martz and Scott Stein.
After leading the Super Stock feature for the first dozen laps, Tom Shaffer (Punxsutawney) was overtaken by Cheyenne Reed (Punxsutawney). Cheyenne Reed then held off contender Dave Buchanan (Cherry Tree) for the win. Buchanan came in second, and Dave Wells, Jr. (Chambersville) debuted this season at third. Elkin Lingenfelter (Indiana) finished fourth, Jerry Timchak (Houtzdale) - fifth, and Tom Shaffer took sixth, Ted Gallaher (Flinton) was seventh, Jeff Weakland (Hastings) - eighth, Heath Gaston (Rochester Mills) - ninth, and Dan Stormer (Brookville) - tenth. The heats were won by Jerry Timchak and Jeff Weakland.
The Late Model feature had Dave Hoffman lined up on the poll, with Ken Schaltenbrand on the outside. At the drop of the green flag, the two switched places and Schaltenbrand (Kittanning) led the entire race with Hoffman (Renfrew) hot on his tail. Schaltenbrand won the feature, Hoffman took second, and Jerry Redden moved up from starting in 19th to finishing in third place. Paul Michny (Pine Flats) finished fourth, Rick Davis (Home)-fifth, Ray Weaver (Home)-sixth, Rick Strong (Home)- seventh, Keith Zimmerman (Titusville)-eighth, Chuck Sarver (West Sunberg)-ninth, and Jeff Henry (Butler) was tenth. The heats were won by Rick Strong and Duane Stiner (Houtzdale).
The second part of the Memorial Day Weekend festivities will continue on Monday (Memorial Day) when the Marion Center Speedway will host Twin Twenty-Fives for the Late Models. Two 25 lap features, each paying $1000 to win will be the main attraction on the top of the hill Monday night. Racing will also be held for the Micro-Sprints, Strictly-Stocks, and Pro-Stocks. The Super Stocks usually racing at the track can run with the Late Models, but won't have their own feature. All track rules will apply. Have a great weekend at Marion Center Speedway!

Memorial Day
Special Race Results
by Don Peffer
What was special about Memorial Day? A whole lot of racing going on! Not only nationally, but locally-right here at Marion Center Speedway. The quarter-mile dirt track between Indiana and Punxsutawney held a special night of racing on Memorial Day. The non-points event featured Two, Twenty-Five Lap Features for the Late Model division with each feature paying $1,000 to win. The night of racing also included Micro-Sprints, Strictly Stocks, and Pro-Stocks.
Mike Blose of Dayton made it a memorable Memorial Day by picking up wins in Both Late Model Features. In the first of the two Late Model Features, Blose was started in the second row. After completing the first lap, David Scott from Garland was in a terrible looking crash with his 3S car flipping end over end and also rolling over repeatedly until coming to a halt over the apron of turn one. Scott was not seriously injured, but was advised to seek medical attention at his earliest convenience.

On the restart, lap two- Blose took over the lead and led the rest of the 25 lap feature. On the third lap Dave Satterlee (Rochester Mills) moved into second place from starting fourth. On the restart of the seventh lap for a Lynn Geisler (Cranberry Township) spin out, John Britsky moved into third place; he had started eighth. The top three then chased each other in and out of traffic with Blose well into the lead and finished in that order. Matt Gaston (Rochester Mills) took fourth place, Ken Schaltenbrand (Kittanning)- fifth, Keith Barbara (South Park) -sixth, Bob Wearing Sr. (Callery)- seventh, Gary Pease (Ernest)- eighth, Luke Hoffman (Turbotville)- ninth, and Spanky Daugherty (Sarver)- tenth. The preliminary heats were won by Nick Jones (Pittsburgh,), Bob Wearing, Sr. (Callery) and Tony Raneir (Johnstown). A consolation race for the Late Models was won by Lynn Geisler (Cranberry Township).
Later the same night, the second half of the Twin Twenty-Fives was run. In that feature, Mike Blose was started in the twenty-first position of the twenty-five car field. It took Blose twenty of the twenty-five laps to get to the front, but he managed to make it there in time for the checkered flag. Early into the feature a couple accidents took some drivers out of the contention for the purse. John Flinner (Cranberry Township) brought out the caution on the seventh lap. Then on the eighth lap, Matt Gaston (Rochester Mills) was hit in turn two and the car ended up with the wheels in the air in a six car pile up. Again no one was injured in the accident. Robbie Blair (Hightown) who had started on the pole, was the only other leader of the race. After a restart for an accident in the 18th lap, Blair was heavily pursued by Blose and under the pressure spun out on the twentieth lap to give up the lead to Blose. Blose then defended his position from challenges by Bob Wearing, Jr. (Callery). But Blose picked up the win and another $1000 for his efforts. Wearing, Jr. finished second, and Dave Satterlee (Rochester Mills) came up from twentieth place on the start to finish third. Jerry Redden (Mahaffey) was fourth, and fifth went to Rusty Whitmore (Franklin). Rounding out the top ten in order were: Tony Raneire (Johnstown), Paul Michny (Pine Flats), Ken Schaltenbrand (Kittanning), Keith Barbara (South Park) and Luke Hoffman (Turbotville).
Jim Young was the winner of the Micro-Sprint Division Feature. Young (Johnstown) started on the pole which kept him out of a six car pileup at the beginning of the race. When the race continued, Young led the rest of the way holding off Darryl Dunmire (Ford City) for the win, Dunmire took second place, and third went to Jim Horwat (Clymer). Jay Groves (Sugar Grove) came in fourth, Brian Riddle (Brookville) was fifth, and Jeff Bacha (Indiana) got sixth. The rest of the top ten included Mike Himes (Summerville)- seventh, Karlin Miller (Apollo)-eighth, Brian Chiucci (Hagerstown, MD)-ninth, and Tim Robertson (Plumboro)-tenth. The Micro-Sprint heats were won by Jim Horwat (Clymer) and Tim Robertson (Plumboro).
In the Strictly-Stock Division, Matt Hugill (Mahaffey) led the entire race from the start until the last lap. Between turns 3 and 4, Hugill spun out on his own. As he tried to correct his steering, he was hit by Tom Slack (DuBois). Slack bounced off the Hugill 65H and also off Jay Getch by rolled across the finish line first for the win. Getch (Covode) followed Slack for second place and Sean Zeiler (Munhall) came in third. The rest of the eight car field finished with Paul Labore (Sykesville)-fourth, Steve Barnes (Punxsutawney)-fifth, Dan Mazzaferro (Brookville)-sixth, Matt Hugill (Mahaffey)-seventh, and Gary Churchfield (Plumboro)-eighth. Slack had also won the heat race for the Strictly-Stocks.
The Pro-Stock feature was won by Jeff Walters (Evans City). Cautions early into the feature helped and hurt Walters. The first caution gave him a chance to set up to take the lead in the second lap. But then other cautions let Tom Snyder (Ringgold) have a chance to move up on Walters. But after a fire under the hood of the car driven by Bob Roseman (Sykesville) brought out the red flag, Walters had no problems picking up the checkered flag for the win. Tom Snyder finished second, Joe Kelley (Mount Pleasant) took third. Fourth place went to Tom Truxell (Plumboro) and fifth place was filled by Butch Lambert (Mars). The top ten rounded out with Jim Sweezy (Greensburg)-sixth, Shawn Mogle (Ernest)-seventh, Jeff Enos (Blairsville)-eighth, Jeff Sweeney (Marion Center)-ninth, and Mark Blystone, Jr. (Blacklick)-tenth. Joe Kelley (Mount Pleasant) and Tom Snyder (Ringgold) were the heat race winners.
Saturday night racing will continue at Marion Center Speedway this Saturday. The next "Special" will take place on July 3, 2001 for the Independence Day Celebration with Fireworks by the Starfire Corporation., For the tops in racing, come to the top of the hill to Marion Center Speedway. Only twenty minutes north of Indiana, off Route 119.

Racing resumed at Marion Center Speedway between Indiana and Punxsutawney on Saturday night after last week's rainout. The quarter-mile clay oval was in perfect form-as usual- for the night's events which included the five divisions: Late Model, Super Stock, Pro Stock, Strictly Stock, and Micro-Sprint.
The Micro-Sprint feature was the first on the track and Brian Walker was on track to victory after taking the lead on the ninth lap. Other leaders in the 15 lap race included Jimmy Horwat and Kevin Conrad, but Walker (Somerset) was the leader at the end to pick up the win. Jim Young (Johnstown) picked up second place after he worked his way through 14 other cars to secure his position. Jeff Bacha (Indiana) had to come from starting in eleventh position and got third. Jim Horwat (Clymer) took home fourth, Vince Berardinelli (Jeanette)- fifth, Darryl Dunmire (Ford City)- sixth, Kevin Conrad (Altoona)- seventh, Jay Groves (Sugar Grove)- eighth, Pete Landram (West Newton)- ninth, and Mike Crane (Cabot) was tenth. The Micros' heats were won by Jeff Bacha, Jay Groves and Darryl Dunmire.
Fran Michny was at the speedway for the first time this racing season and was the first Michny to win a feature that night. Michny (Pine Flats) led the entire race for the win. He was challenged for the lead by both Ken Mumau, and Jay Getch, but Michny was able to keep control for the win. Getch (Covode) picked up second place but Robert James (Mahaffey) got between Getch and Mumau for third, leaving Mumau (East Run) in fourth. Larry Matter (Plumboro) placed fifth, and Matt Hugill (Mahaffey) was sixth. The Strictly Stock heat went to Jay Getch.
The Super Stock feature was a show stopper both literally and figuratively Saturday night. Dave Buchanan was on the pole for the event and was able to maintain that position for much of the race. Many cautions kept the pack of cars running close together, which may have contributed to the many cautions, but Buchanan kept the lead until he was in a caution from spinning out in turn four on the twelfth lap. Buchanan (Cherry Tree) then gave up the lead to Elkin Lingenfelter (Indiana) who was passed by Cheyenne Reed and Dave Wells, Jr. after the restart. Cheyenne Reed (Punxsutawney) was pursued heavily by Wells as Wells tried desperately to get by Reed for the lead. But desperation isn't a good thing, and in the 17'th lap coming down the front stretch, Wells (Chambersville) was rubbing the side of Reed, and rubbed the wrong way as the two became tangled as they went into turn one. The spinning cars and abrupt braking from the followers resulted in a seven car pile up that took out the front of the pack. Wells and Reed went to the pits and also gathered up Greg Fetterman and Tom Jobe. John Reed, Dave Buchanan, Tim Hallowell, Jeff Weakland, and Bob Hill seemed to be in the accident but were able to continue and were probably stopped to avoid a collision. When the race resumed, Ted Gallaher (Flinton) was the lead car and kept the lead to take the checkered flag. Dwayne Bash (Heilwood) came in second, and third went to Heath Gaston (Rochester Mills). Elkin Lingenfelter (Indiana) took fourth place, Dave Buchanan (Cherry Tree) was fifth. Rounding out the top ten in order were: Tim Hallowell (Reynoldsville), Travis Beck (Mattier), Bob Hill (Ringgold), Jeff Weakland (Hastings) and Cheyenne Reed. Heats were won by Cheyenne Reed and Heath Gaston.
Paul Michny (Pine Flats) kept the Michny Race Team victory fires burning by winning the Late Model feature. It was Paul's brother Fran that had won the Strictly Stock feature earlier. Michny had worked his way up to third place by the halfway point of the feature from starting twelfth. Then he kept progressing and on the twelfth lap he was in the clear after passing Gary Pease (Ernest) for the lead. Jeff Henry (Butler) got around Pease with two laps to go for second place, Pease picked up third. Matt Gaston (Rochester Mills) finished in fourth place after having shared heat race wins with his brother Heath who had won a Super Stock heat. Rick Davis (Home) finished in fifth, Ray Weaver (Home)- sixth, Chuck Sarver (West Sunberg)- seventh, Mike McKendree (Brookville)- eighth, Ken Schaltenbrand (Kittanning)- ninth, and Rick Lias (Smicksburg) was tenth. Paul Michny and Matt Gaston secured wins in their heats.
It didn't take Tom Snyder long to get back to back victories in Marion Center Speedway's Pro-Stock features. Snyder (Ringgold) took the lead on the second lap from starting fourteenth and kept the front position for the checkered flag. Scott Stein (Cherry Tree) gave Snyder a run for the money for the last five laps of the feature, but Snyder wouldn't allow Stein a passing chance to get around him. Stein came in second, and Shawn Mogle (Earnest) picked up third. Jeff Taylor (Corsica) was fourth, Dave Humble (Ringgold)- fifth, Randy Reed (Punxsutawney)- sixth, John Weaver (Commodore)- seventh, Mark Blystone, Jr. (Blacklick)- eighth, Alvin Little (Clymer)- ninth, and Bruce Walker (Punxsutawney) was tenth. The Pro-Stock heats were won by Tom Snyder and Randy Reed.

Marion Center Speedway had full fields of cars for an action packed night of racing sponsored by Lias Tire, Inc. of North Fifth Street in Indiana on Saturday. The rains held off and the cars poured in for the five divisions competing at the quarter-mile clay oval between Indiana and Punxsutawney bringing the car count to 121 race cars in the pits.
The first feature of the night had Brian Riddle (Brookville) leading the Micro-Sprints for the entire race. Riddle started on the pole, and held that position until the checkered flag dropped. Darryl Dunmire (Ford City) came up from starting eighth to challenge Riddle for the lead, but had to settle for second place. Vince Berardinelli (Jeannette) moved from sixth to third place; Rodney Glass (Fort Loudon) came in fourth, and Jeff Bacha (Indiana) took fifth after starting in ninth place. Jim Young (Johnstown) finished sixth, Brian Walker (Somerset) -7'th, Jim Horwat (Clymer) - 8'th, Mike Himes (Summerville) - 9'th, and Kevin Conrad (Altoona) - 10'th. Heat races were won by Horwat and Young.
Jeff Henry took control of the Late Model feature for the first couple laps from his outside pole starting position, but cautions in laps one and two helped Dave Satterlee (Marchand) get into position to dominate the rest of the feature event. Satterlee took the lead on the fourth lap and was able to maintain the lead despite efforts by Matt Gaston (Rochester Mills) to catch him. Gaston started the race on the pole and finished second to Satterlee. David Scott (Garland) raced to a third place finish. Rodney Phillips (the proud papa from Punxsutawney) was able to bring home a fourth place finish for his new baby girl. Dave Hoffman (Renfrew) picked up fifth. Rounding out the top ten for the Late Models were Jeff Henry (Butler)-6'th, Paul Michny (Pine Flats)-7'th, Bobby Stokes (Milton)-8'th, Jerry Redden (Mahaffey)-9'th, and Duane Stiner (Houtzdale)-10'th. Gary Pease (Ernest) and John Britsky (Indiana) were the heat race winners. Pease finished 11'th, and Britsky ended the race after being in a collision at the halfway point of the feature.
A good field of cars for the Strictly Stock division took to the track for thier feature. At the end of the race, Henry Wilfong (Sewickley) was the winner. Bernie Whetstone (Irvona) got second place ahead of Johnny Kuzemchak (Fallen Timber) who was third. Fran Michny (Pine Flats) came in fourth, Chris Finnigan (Munson)-5'th and Matt Summers (Vandegrift) -6'th. Robert James (Mahaffey) placed seventh, Larry Matter (Plumboro) eighth, Randy Rudolf (Punxsutawney) ninth, and Nathan Miller (Marion Center) came in tenth. Fran Michny and Nathan Miller were winners of their respective heat races.
Some rough driving in the Pro-Stock feature caused several cautions for the drivers and staff to contend with, but that was all behind Feature Winner, Bruce Walker who led the feature from beginning to end. Walker (Punxsutawney) started on the outside pole and was challenged by several drivers for the lead, but Walker was able to maintain the lead throughout the restarts for the win. Dave Humble (Ringgold) moved up from sixth place at the start to finish second, and Jeff Taylor (Corsica) came in third. Fourth place went to Jack Mumau (East Run) and Shawn Mogle (Ernest) picked up fifth. John Weaver (Commodore) took sixth, Tim White (Punxsutawney) - 7'th, Eddie Hugill (Mahaffey) - 8'th, Jeff Sweeney (Marion Center) - ninth, and tenth place went to Scott Alvetro (Sykesville). Preliminary heats were won by Scott Stein (Cherry Tree), Emory Rhinehart, Jr. (Morrisdale) and Tom Snyder, Jr. (Ringgold). A Consy for the Pro-Stocks was won by Harold Sebring (East Run).
The Super Stocks played a major role in boosting the car count to over the one hundred mark. The Super Stock feature was won by Shawn McGarvey (Coalport). McGarvey led the event after passing pole sitter, Tim Hallowell after the second lap. Hallowell (Reynoldsville) came in second place. A major, five car pile up in the middle of the feature slowed the pace of the event, but the excitement continued when the race resumed. Jerry Timchak (Houtzdale) moved up from thirteenth place to third place in the feature. Jim Parsons, Jr. (Bellwood) finished fourth, and Jason Witheright (Luthersburg) was fifth. Rounding out the top ten were Dan Stormer (Brookville)-6'th, Dave Wells, Jr. (Chambersville)-7'th, Ed Conner (DuBois)-8'th, Dwayne Bash (Heilwood)-9'th, and Ted Gallaher (Flinton)-10'th. Cheyenne Reed (Punxsutawney) was on the move near the end of the feature and was running in third place when he was involved in a caution with Scott Stein. Reed didn't have enough time to recover from the seventeenth lap wreck. Dave Wells, Jr. and Ed Conner were winners of the other heats. A Super Stock Consolation Race was held and won by Jeff Weakland (Hastings).
Saturday night racing at Marion Center Speedway will continue throughout the season with a special race scheduled for an Independence Day celebration on Tuesday, July 3. The special event will include a fireworks program by the Starfire Corporation and is a non-points event. Race fans may also want to take note of a "Cruise-In" coming to Indiana on Friday, June 29'th from 4:30 to 8:30 PM. The Marion Center Speedway Pace Car will be part of the fun at the Downtown Indiana event. Don't forget to mark your calendars for these special events or get more information by checking out our website at www.marioncenterspeedway.com. Try various search engines, but I've found it on Alta-Vista the easiest.

Special races were held Tuesday, July 3, 2001 at
the Marion Center Speedway for their Independence Day celebration and the
festivities also included a fireworks display by the Starfire Corporation. The
grandstands and the pits were both filled with the largest crowd ever to gather
at the quarter-mile clay track at the top of the hill, off Route 119 between
Indiana and Punxsutawney. The special race was not a points event, but the
competitors raced as though it was a championship. The 122 cars that signed
into the pits were split into their respective five divisions, and provided
enough cars for consolation races for two of the divisions.
After the heats
and the consolation races, a storm passed through the area dumping some rain on
the celebration. But owner/promoter, Dave Potts asked that the fireworks
program get started at the intermission break so the fireworks didn't get rained
out, they blew the storm away, and the crowd loved it. The track had to be "run
in" a little for the races to continue, but the track came back to its usual top
notch racing condition.
The Strictly
Stock Division took the track first after the fireworks break and also put on a
good show. Henry Wilfong (Sewickley) won the Strictly Stock feature by taking
the lead on the second lap from Robert James (Mahaffey) who was on the pole.
Wilfong was chased around the track and challenged several times, but never gave
up the front position. Ron Hanna (Mundy's Corner) finished a strong second
place, and Johnny Kuzemchak (Fallen Timber) wasn't far behind for third. Bill
Sigafoes (Blairsville) finished fourth, Josh Jacoby (Fernwood) took fifth. Dan
Mazzaferro (Blairsville) finished sixth, Robert James (Mahaffey)-seventh, Joe
Starcher (Apollo)-eighth, Bill Hibenthal (Blairsville)-ninth, and Bernie
Whetstone (Irvona) was tenth. The Strictly Stock Heats were won by Rick Mixim
(Reynoldsville) and Ron Hanna.
Brian Walker was
the big winner in the Micro-Sprint division's feature. Walker (Somerset)
started on the outside pole beside Mike Hite (Kittanning). After the fourth
lap, Hite was involved in an incident that took him off the track and out of the
race. The lead then went to Walker, who finished out the event in the front of
the pack. Jim Young (Johnstown) moved into position to challenge Walker, but
settled into second place. Third place went to Terry Shaffer (Reading) and Jeff
Bacha (Indiana) was fourth. Rodney Glass (Fort Loudon) took fifth. Filling in
the rest of the top ten were: Kevin Conrad (Altoona), Jason Pisani (Plum), Tim
Robertson (Plumboro), Jay Groves (Sugar Grove), and Mike Himes (Summerville).
The Micro-Sprint heats were
won by Rodney Glass, Tim Robertson, and Jeff Bacha. A Micro-Sprint consolation
race was won by Darryl Dunmire (Fort Loudon).
Tom Snyder
(Ringgold) took the checkered flag in the Pro-Stock division feature. Snyder
started his lead on the sixth lap when the Pro-Stock pole position driver, Randy
Reed was involved in a caution. Snyder was chased by Scott Bocheck until Scott
Stein got between the two for a run on Snyder. But it wasn't the night for
Stein, as Snyder held him off for the win. Stein (Cherry Tree) held second over
Bocheck (Cheswick) who took third. Jeff Walters (Evans City) finished fourth,
and Jeff Enos (Blairsville) was fifth. Doug Tibbens (Curwensville) came in
sixth, Randy Reed (Punxsutawney) finished seventh, Jeff Taylor (Corsica)-eighth,
Emory Rinehart, Jr. (Morisdale)-ninth, and Jeff Sweeney (Marion Center)-tenth.
The Pro-Stock heats went to Scott Stein, Nick Regis (Butler), and Jeff Sweeney.
The Consy was won by Ron Lute (Loretto).
Shawn McGarvey
started in sixth place in the Super Stock feature, but it didn't take long for
him to reach the front. McGarvey (Coalport) led every lap in the special
feature event to take the win home. Dwayne Bash started beside McGarvey and
finished right behind him for second place. The first lady of the Super Stock
division, Yvette Hahn (Allenbrook) finished in third place. Jerry Timchak
(Houtzdale) came in fourth place and Ted Gallaher (Flinton) picked up fifth.
Tom Shaffer (Punxsutawney) finished sixth, Doug Boyer (Punxsutawney)-seventh,
Mark Whetstone (Irvona)-eighth, Dan Stormer (Corsica)-ninth, and Tom Jobe (Covode)
was tenth. The Super Stock heats were won by Jeff Weakland (Hastings) and Ted
Gallaher.
In the Late Model
Division, Dave Satterlee (Marchand) started in the tenth position, but it didn't
take him ten laps to be in the lead. Satterlee powered his way to the front and
led the eighth lap and all the rest of the laps too. Bobby Stokes (Milton) was
the next car to cross the finish line on the lead lap for second place. Then
came Rodney Phillips (Punxsutawney) for third, and Jeff Henry (Butler) for
fourth. Dave Peterman (Indiana) came in fifth. Rounding out the top ten in
order were: Jerry Redden (Mahaffey), Rick Davis (Home), Tom Erickson
(Huntington), Brandon Wearing (Callery), and Nick Jones (Pittsburgh). The Late
Model heats were won by Dave Satterlee and Rick Strong (Home).

Marion Center Speedway was ready for action Saturday night after a break in the regular racing program due to adverse weather conditions. The weather, the track, the cars and fans were all in top notch form for the continuation of the points season.
The Strictly Stock Division ran the first feature of the night. Ron Hanna (Mundy's Corner) started on the pole, but was overtaken at the start by Fran Michny and Matt Hugill. It took only two laps for Hanna to regain the front position and then in lap seven, a caution made it necessasary for a restart. Michny (Pine Flats) took the lead on the restart. On the final loop of the race, Ron Hanna made it passed Michny for the win. Michny finished second and Randy Rudolph (Punxsutawney) picked up third. Jay Getch (Covode) finished fourth, Robert James (Mahaffey)-fifth, Don Mazzaferro (Brookville)-sixth, Jesse Spade (Marion Center)-seventh, Nathan Miller (Marion Center)-eighth, Kenny Mumau (East Run)-ninth, and Larry Matter (Plumboro) was tenth. Heats were won by Ron Hanna and Matt Hugill (Mahaffey). Hugill had finished the feature in eighth place, but did not stop at the scales for the mandatory post race weigh-in and was DQ'd.
The second event on the quarter-mile clay oval Saturday night was the Micro-Sprint Division feature. Darryl Dunmire (Ford City) was the powerhouse in that division. Dunmire first took his heat race and then led the entire feature from green to checkered flags. Jeff Bacha (Indiana) lined up beside Dunmire at the start and finished right behind him at the end. Brian Walker (Somerset) started and finished third, and Jimmy Bookens (Fanville) moved up one spot from starting fifth to fourth place. Vince Berardinelli (Jeanette) moved from eighth to fifth at the finish. Rounding out the top ten in order were: Brian Riddle (Brookville) who moved up the most in the feature from starting 14'th to sixth place, Mike Himes (Summerville)-seventh, Jay Groves (Sugar Grove)-eighth, Jim Horwat (Clymer)-ninth, and Jim Young (Johnstown)-tenth. The Micro-Sprint heats were won by Darryl Dunmire, Jeff Bacha, and Brian Walker. A "Consy" was won by Doug Gray (Quincy).
An exciting Late Model Division feature was packed with a lot of racing action. Rick Strong (Chambersville) started on the pole and was holding onto the lead through cautions and restarts until his pursuer, Jerry Redden, pushed by Chuck Sarver and Paul Michny, passed Strong when the white flag came out. Redden kept the lead to pick up the trophy sponsored by the Indiana Pizza Hut. Sarver (West Sunberg) followed Redden (Mahaffey) for second place, and Michny (Pine Flats) overtook Strong on the final lap for third. Strong took home fourth place for his efforts, and fifth place went to Ken Schaltenbrand who was having air conditioning work done to the 29S. Gary Pease (Ernest) took sixth, John Yamrick (Heilwood)-seventh, Spanky Daugherty (Sarver)-eighth, Gary Vallies (Punxsutawney)-ninth, and Jesse Smith (Titusville) was tenth. The Late Model heats were won by Rick Strong and Mike McKendree (Brookville).
Tom Snyder, Jr. took the Pro-Stock Division feature by storm. Snyder was another pole position starter to maintain the lead throughout the race. Snyder (Ringgold) was chased around the track by Dave Humble, Rusty Martz and later by Scott Stein, but kept the front position for the win. Rusty Martz (Brookville) came in second place, and Scott Stein (Cherry Tree) was third. Humble (Ringgold) finished fourth and fifth place went to Harold Sebring (East Run). The rest of the top ten came across like this: Bruce Walker (Punxsutawney)-sixth, Eric Lingenfelter (Indiana)-seventh, Denny Walker (Punxsutawney)-eighth, Bob Colgan (Indiana) made his season debut at ninth, and Jeff Sweeney (Marion Center) was tenth. The heats went to Tom Snyder, Jr. and Dave Humble.
Jerry Timchak (Houtzdale) was another start to finish leader of the features Saturday night at Marion Center Speedway. Timchak led the Super Stocks all the way, even though several cautions provided opportunities for others to catch up to Timchak, but none could overtake him. Shawn McGarvey (Coalport) had the best position to try for the lead, but never got around Timchak and settled for second place. Elkin Lingenfelter (Indiana) picked up third place, and fourth went to Cheyenne Reed (Punxsutawney) who had moved up the most from starting ninteenth in a field of twenty-four cars. Tom Shaffer (Punxsutawney) finished fifth. Rounding out the top ten were Dan Stormer (Brookville)-sixth, Bruce Miller (Ernest)-seventh, Steve Watkins (Dixonville)-eighth, Tim Hallowell (Reynoldsville)-ninth, and tenth went to Dave Wells, Jr. (Chambersville). The three heats of Super Stocks were won by Shawn McGarvey, Tom Shaffer, and Larry Hollenbaugh (Punxsutawney).
Saturday night racing will continue at the top of the hill off Route 119 between Indiana and Punxsutawney at Marion Center Speedway next week with the addition of the Kid's Bike Races at intermission. Kids are reminded to bring their bikes and helmets to the track this Saturday, July 21 for the event. Also keep an eye out for the appearance of Ronald McDonald at the Speedway later this month.

It was a great night for racing at Marion Center Speedway, with top notch competitive driving in all five divisions. Season regulars, as well as visiting faces, filled the pits and kept fans on the edge of their seats.
The Micro-Sprints were the first to start the feature events at MCS. Jim Young started at the front of the pack and had nothing but clear sailing ahead of him. Young was given a run for his money by Jeff Bacha (Indiana) and Brian Walker (Somerset), but Bacha dropped out of the race unexpectedly with just two laps remaining, giving Walker the runner-up position. Following him were Vince Berardinelli (Jeanette), Rodney Glass (Fort Loudon), and Brian Riddle (Brookville). Rounding out the top ten were: Jason Pisani (Plum), Kevin Conrad (Altoona), Tim Robertson (Plumboro), Bud Burneke (Saltsburg) and Mike Himes (Summerville). The three heat races were won by Darryl Dunmire (Ford City), Jim Young (Johnstown) and Mike Hite (Kittanning).
The roar from the pits let everyone know it was time for the Late Models to take to the track for their feature event. The lead changed several times, as Paul Michny (Pine Flats), Rod Phillips (Punxsutawney) and Rick Strong (Home) vied for the top position. Michny did a great job of outrunning his competitors, until the last few laps of the race. Phillips took over the lead on lap #17 and went on to pick up the checkered flag. Michny had to settle for second, followed by Strong in third, Bob Cessna (Cherry Tree) fourth, and Chuck Sarver (West Sunburg) fifth. Rounding out the rest of the field was: Matt Gaston (Rochester Mills), Dave Peterman (Indiana), Spanky Daugherty (Sarver), Mike McKendree (Brookville), and Mark Stair (Brookville). The Late Model heat races were won by Jerry Redden (Mahaffey), Gary Pease (Ernest), and Darryl Freedline.
The Pro Stocks were the next division to take to the track. Due to a number of cautions, the lead changed hands several times. Randy Reed (Punxsutawney) started in the second row, but had his eye on the front position. Once Reed obtained the lead, he was busy looking over his shoulder because the Walkers of Punxsutawney were in hot pursuit. Reed held on for the win, with Denny Walker finishing in second and Bruce Walker settling for third. Harold Sebring (East Run) was fourth, and Jeff Taylor (Corsica) was fifth. Rounding out the top ten were: Tom Snyder (Ringgold), Eric Lingenfelter (Indiana), Alvin Little (Clymer), John Weaver (Commodore), and Scott Stein (Cherry Tree). The heat races were won by Jeff Sweeney (Marion Center) and Tom Snyder (Ringgold).
Next, it was time for the Super Stocks to have some fun. Eric Lingenfelter started on the pole position and led for the first several laps, but he couldnt shake the feeling that someone was lurking nearby ready to take over his lead position. After an accident brought out the caution, Scott Steins #13 took over front spot, but rumors were circulating that Dave Satterlee was behind the wheel. Ted Gallaher (Flinton) moved up to challenge the leader, but wasnt able to pull it off and had to settle for second place.. After the race was finished, it was Dave Satterlee that climbed out of the car to take the checkered flag. The rest of the Super Stocks finished as follows: Elkin Lingenfelter (Indiana), Bruce Miller (Ernest), Jerry Timchak (Houtzdale), Dan Stormer (Brookville), Shawn McGarvey (Coalport), Dwayne Bash (Heilwood), Dave Wells, Jr. (Chambersville) and Dave Buchanan (Cherry Tree). The heat races were won by Lingenfelter and Buchanan.
The Strictly Stock feature was the final event of the night. The lead kept changing hands and it looked like Ron Hanna (Mundys Corner) was going to be victorious, but Fran Michny (Pine Flats) passed him on the last lap and ended up in the winners circle. Hanna had to settle for second place, followed by Josh Jacoby (Fernwood) in third, Scott Wagner (Irvona) in fourth, and Nathan Miller (Marion Center) in fifth. Rounding out the top ten were: Jesse Spade (Marion Center), Larry Matter (Plumboro), Kenny Mumau (East Run), Matt Hugill (Mahaffey), and Robert James (Mahaffey). The heat races were won by: Don Mazzaferro (Brookville) and Hanna.
Even the young race fans got into the action at MCS, with bike races held at intermission. Championship bike races are scheduled for August 11th. Be sure to bring your helmets.
Next weeks racing program includes a Micro Sprint Special, featuring lots of cars and cash. You may want to bring along some extra spending money, as special T-shirts will be available to commemorate the event. Also, mark your calendars for a special night of racing as Marion Center Speedway celebrates Labor Day with a Late Model Twin 25 Special on Monday, September 3rd. For the tops in racing, come to the "top of the hill".
