MAY 08, 2004

After being rained out on the first attempt at opening the 2004 racing season; Marion Center Speedway was able to put on a full show Saturday night, May 8.  For the Mother’s Day Special, Marion Center Speedway passed out embroidered visors to all “moms”.

             The Pepsi Street Stocks were on the program first.  Jeff Taylor from Corsica won the feature with Tim White of Punxsutawney close behind and Jason Fosnaught from Bairdford finished third.  Fourth place went to Don Waltman (Punxsy.) and Skip Lindemuth (Hazen) was fifth.  The rest of the top ten finishers were: Mike Dempsey-sixth (Brookville), Jamie Barber-seventh (Grampian) John Oaks-eighth (Punxsy.) Rich Shank-ninth (Clymer) and tenth place went to Rich Waltman from Coolspring.  In the heat races, the winners were Chad Covatch (Punxsy) Eric Lingenfelter (Indiana) and Don Waltman (Punxsy). 

             The Lias Tire Late Models were the next competitors on the track.  The roll of the cube before the features had the lineups made with the top eight positions from the heats inverted for the feature event.  This put Rick Strong from Home on the pole for the event.  Strong was able to hold that front position throughout the entire twenty-lap feature to secure the first win of the season.  Strong was chased early on in the race by Mike Blose from Dayton, and later in the event it was Dave Satterlee also from Home who was on his tail.  Satterlee finished second and Blose fell back to fifth place at the checkers.  Filling in between were Ken Schaltenbrand from Sarver-third, and Dave Peterman of Indiana-fourth.  Rounding out he top ten in order were Rick Lias (Smicksburg)-6’th, Rod Phillips (Punxsutawney)-7’th, Jim Kurpakus (Leechburg)-8’th, B D Laraway (Harrison City)-9’th, and Jeff Henry (Butler)-10’th.  Satterlee also won in the heat races, as well as Rick Lias and Ken Schaltembrand.

             Last years division champion, Dee Deyarmin continued with his winning ways in the Stitching Post Strictly Stock Division.  Deyarmin from Glen Campbell started the feature behind Steve McKendree.  McKendree led the second through fifth laps in the feature with Deyarmin right behind him.  After the fifth lap, McKendree spun out and left the door open for Deyarmin to take over the lead.  Deyarmin then went on to win the feature.  Tony Hugill from Mahaffey finished second, Jack Mumau of East Run was third, Robert James from Mahaffey took fourth and fifth went to Tim Good from Vintondale.   McKendree of Mahaffey finished sixth, Don Hickock from Punxsy was seventh, Dave Williams of Glen Campbell was eighth, an unknown driver of 777 finished ninth and Roger Stivenson from Freeport took tenth.  The Heat races were won by Jack Mumau and Larry Matter from Plumboro.

             The final feature of the night was in the East American Motorsport Steel Block Limited Late Model Division.  Gary Miller, Jr. from New Castle started on the pole in his #1 car, but by the third lap another #1, the 1H of Larry Hollenbaugh had taken over the lead.  Hollenbaugh from Punxsutawney won the feature with Miller trailing behind him in second.  Bruce Walker from Punxsutawney took third, Chris Johnston of Marion Center was fourth, and Shane McMeans of Dayton finished fifth.  Sixth place was taken by Tom Shaffer (Punxsutawney) Tom Jobe (Covode) was seventh, Bill Phillips (Blandburg) was eighth, Dan Stormer (Brookville) was ninth and tenth place went to Tom Snyder from Mayport.  In the preliminary heats, Tom Shaffer and Shane McMeans were the winners. 

             Thanks to Vanderpools Checkered Flag Collectibles for providing door prizes, as well as Sandy Kaye’s Restaurant, Furniture World East, and Marion Center Speedway.

             Looking ahead on the racing schedule, don’t miss the Memorial Day Special on Monday, May 31.  The special event will once again feature the Twin Twenty-Five lap races for the Late Models.  Racing will also take place on the Saturday nights before and after the Monday night special races.  For the tops in racing, we’ll see you at the top of the hill at Marion Center Speedway; it’s just 3 miles North of Marion Center on Route 119, and a fifteen minute drive Indiana or Punxsutawney.

MAY 15, 2004

Dark clouds loomed overhead at Marion Center Speedway Saturday night, and even an occasional raindrop would fall.  But loyal fans and drivers waited out the passing showers for a great night of racing in all four divisions.

The Stitching Post Strictly Stock division was the first feature of the evening.  After finishing third in his heat race, Larry Matter of Plumboro started on the pole for the feature.  When the green flag dropped it was all Larry Matter up front for the entire race.  Robert James (of Mahaffey) started behind Matter, but was overtaken by Steve McKendree after the third lap.  The leaders soon caught the back of the field and started lapping cars, but the car McKendree couldn’t get around was Matter.  McKendree (Mahaffey) took second place, and Justin Queen (Irvona) who had started second finished third after keeping up with the leaders weaving in and out of cars on the way.  Ed Keilman (Mundy’s Corner) finished fourth and Robert James was fifth.  The rest of the top ten filled in with Don Hickock (Punxsutawney)-6’th, Bruce Large (Saltsburg)-7’th, Dave Williams (Glen Campbell)-8’th, Tim Good (Vintondale)-9’th, and Dee Deyarmin (Glen Campbell)-10’th.  Three heats were held for the Stitching Post Strictly Stock division and those winners are:  Don Hickok, Robert James, and Justin Queen.

 In the East American Motorsport Steel Block Limited Latemodel division, it was also a flag to flag race with one leader-Dwayne Taneyhill (from Bellwood).  Taneyhill was pursued heavily by Bruce Walker and Shawn McGarvey.  Walker (Punxsutawney) was just passed by McGarvey (Coalport) after the halfway flags of the race when a caution put the race on hold.  In an attempt to get the jump on McGarvey, Walker jumped too soon and was caught by track officials for “jumping ahead on the restart.”  Walker was docked two positions for the error putting him in fifth place.  Between Walker and McGarvey’s second place, were Chris Johnston (Marion Center) and Bernie Whiteford (Hastings).  There were several cautions during the feature and Bruce Walker wasn’t the only driver caught by officials trying too hard to get out of the congested pack too soon.  But after the checkered flag was thrown and everything was sorted out the top ten were:  Taneyhill, McGarvey, Johnston, Whiteford, Walker, Gary Miller, Jr. (New Castle), Larry Hollenbaugh (Punxsutawney), Dan Stormer (Brookville), Tom Snyder (Mayport) and Bill Strong (Indiana).  The preliminary races in the East American Motorsport Steel Block Limited Latemodels were won by Bernie Whiteford, Shawn McGarvey, and Bruce Walker.

John Oaks from Punxsutawney was the leader of the Pepsi Street Stocks from start to finish.  Oaks started on the pole with Scott Alvetro (of Reynoldsville) lined up behind him and Alvetro stayed right behind Oaks the entire race for a second place finish.  Tim White (Punxsutawney) started in the fourth position but moved up to third bringing with him the fifth place starting car, Jeff Sweeney (Marion Center) to take fourth at the checkers.  Harold Sebring was able to move up two positions in the feature to take home fifth place.  Rounding out the top ten in order were Jeff Taylor (Corsica)-6’th, Rich Waltman (Coolspring)-7’th, Dave Potter, Jr. (Smokerun)-8’th, John Weaver (Commodore)-9’th and Eric Lingenfelter (Indiana)-10’th.  Tim White, Scott Alvetro, and Eric Lingenfelter won heat races. 

Dave Peterman won the Lias Tire Latemodels feature by staying in the front from green to checkers.  Peterman (Indiana) led all twenty laps to secure the win, but it wasn’t just that easy as Rod Phillips (Punxsutawney) made his up from fifth to challenge for the lead and ended up battling with Dave Satterlee (Home) to stay in second place.  Satterlee moved up from ninth to challenge for the front positions and ended with third.  Steve Everhart (Canoe Creek) came to the races for the first time and ran away with fourth place after starting third and winning his heat race.  Jerry Redden (Mahaffey) got fired up this weekend and after debuting at Dog Hollow Friday night, took fifth place at Marion Center.  The rest of the top ten for the Lias tire Latemodels in order were:  Ken Schaltenbrand (Sarver)-6’th, Dave Blazavich (Indiana)-7’th, Bob Sheesley (Marion Center)-8’th, Spanky Daugherty (Sarver)-9’th, and Rick Strong (Home)-10’th.  Rick Lias (Smicksburg), Steve Everhart, and Mike Blose (Dayton) were winners in the heat races.

Race fans!  Be sure to mark your calendars for a special race at Marion Center Speedway on Monday, May 31 for the Memorial Day Special-the Twin Twenty-Five lap features for the Lias Tire Latemodels.  Special thanks to the following sponsors for door prizes:  Vanderpools Checkered Flag Collectibles of Punxsutawney (near WalMart), Sandy Kaye’s Restaurant in Shelocta and Furniture World East in Kittanning and Indiana.

MAY 22, 2004

Jim Boyer took the lead early into the Pepsi Street Stock division’s feature at Marion Center Speedway Saturday night.  Boyer started the race in the seventh position and by lap five he was in the front ahead of the pole-sitter, Eric Lingenfelter.  Boyer and Lingenfelter had a good race for the feature, but Boyer was better this time winning the feature with Lingenfelter finishing second.  Jeff Taylor came up from twelfth to finish third and Jake Ayers moved from sixteenth to fourth.  Even fifth place finisher, Jason Fosnaught came up from nineteenth at the first green.  The rest of the top ten for the Pepsi Street Stocks were:  Dave Potter, Jr., Nick Goss, Skip Lindemuth, Matt Hugill, & Tim White.  The heat races were won by Jeff Taylor, Tim White and Scott Stein.

                Rick Strong won his second feature of the season in the Lias Tire Latemodel division.  Strong picked up the first win in the first feature of the 2004 season and has now made it two out of three by winning Saturday night.  Strong's victory was not an easy task with pole sitter, Jerry Redden trying to get his spot back and Dave Satterlee charging to the front trying to pickup his first MC win this season, and even Alex Ferree who started on the outside pole was challenging Strong.  At the checkers it was Strong –First, Satterlee-second, Ferree-third, Redden-fourth, and Dave Peterman, last week’s winner-fifth.  Rounding out the top ten in order:  Rick Lias, Ken Schaltenbrand, Tony Raneri, B D Laraway, and Keith Whitherite.  The Lias Tire Latemodel heats were won by Mike Blose, Dave Peterman, and Rick Lias. 

                  Steve McKendree took two laps to take the lead in the Stitching Post Strictly Stock Division feature, a spot that he wouldn’t give up the rest of the race.  Justin Queen started on the pole and lost that position to McKendree after leading the first two laps.  Queen then had other problems that led to an early retirement.  McKendree had started fifth and was chased by Robert James most of the race from James’ sixth place start.  Then Dee Deyarmin was in position to challenge the leader.  But at the end McKendree was first, Deyarmin-second, Tony Hugill-third, Tim Good-fourth, and Aaron Walker was fifth.  Robert James finished sixth, Larry Matter-seventh, Don Hickok-eighth, Bruce Large-ninth, and Jeff Jones was tenth.  Dee Deyarmin, Larry Matter, and Tim Good won the heat races.

             Larry Hollenbaugh took the lead at the halfway point of the East American Motorsport Limited Latemodels’ feature.  Starting in the eleventh position, in took him ten laps to get to first and ten more to win the race.  Chris Johnston started right in front of Hollenbaugh, but finished right behind him.  Tom Shaffer started on the pole, but was in an accident that retired him for the evening (hopefully only for the evening-it wasn’t pretty)-Jim Detman took the lead after the demise of Shaffer and held that place for seven laps before Hollenbaugh took over.  Hollenbaugh took first, Chris Johnston was second, Mark Stiffler-third, Bruce Walker-fourth, and Clay Copeman-fifth.  Sixth place went to Jim Detman, Denny Walker was seventh, Dan Stormer-eighth, Cheyenne Reed-ninth, and Tom Snyder-tenth.  Cheyenne Reed, Larry Hollenbaugh, and Bruce Walker were winners in the heat races. 

        Race fans!  Next Saturday will be the inaugural running of four cylinder, front wheel drive cars at Marion Center Speedway.  The “Rice Burners” will be here for a trial run and may be added to the program for the rest of the season if the administration/management of the track feel it is an asset to the facility.  Be sure to mark your calendars for a special race at Marion Center Speedway on Monday, May 31 for the Memorial Day Special-the Twin Twenty-Five lap features for the Lias Tire Latemodels-which will pay $1500 to win each of the twin-twenty-five lap features (thanks to Pepsi and Don Huey Custom Building and Remodeling.  The E. Am. Motorsport Limited Lates are welcome to run with the Latemodels that night, and the nights entertainment will also include racing for the Pepsi Street Stocks and the Stitching Post Strictly Stocks.   Special thanks to the following sponsors for door prizes:  Vanderpools Checkered Flag Collectibles of Punxsutawney (near WalMart), Sandy Kaye’s Restaurant in Shelocta and Furniture World East in Kittanning and Indiana.

MAY 29, 2004

The Marion Center Speedway  was filled with action Saturday night on the quarter-mile clay oval between Indiana and Punxsutawney, off Route 119. 

The Stitching Post Strictly Stock division was the first feature of the night.  Tony Hugill took the lead first and held onto that for four laps until a caution came out to stop the race.  On the restart, Robert James from Mahaffey was able to get the jump on Hugill to take the lead.  The two competitors played cat & mouse chasing each other around the circle, but Hugill was unable to regain the lead and finished second to Robert James.  Larry Matter moved into third place, Dave Williams finished fourth, and last week’s winner, Steve McKendree was fifth.  Bobby Nole took home sixth place; Bruce Large-seventh, John Poling III-eighth; Jack Mumau-ninth; and tenth went to Dee Deyarmin.  In the heat races, Don Hickok and Jack Mumau were the victors.

Larry Hollenbaugh from Punxsutawney picked up his third win in four features in Marion Center Speedway’s East American Motorsport Steel Block Limited Late Model Division.  Mark Stiffler started on the outside pole and led the cars around the track past the halfway point of the feature.  While Stiffler was holding his own against Tom Snyder and Bruce Walker, Larry Hollenbaugh was working his way to the front from his 13’th starting position.  By lap 13, averaging a car every lap, Hollenbaugh was in the lead.  Hollenbaugh, Stiffler and Bruce Walker were joined in a battle for the lead by Denny Walker and Dan Stormer.  Then after the white flag came out, coming down to the checkers, Bruce Walker made contact with Stiffler, as the two were running second and third.  The Checkered flag was thrown along with yellow flag ending the race and stopping the advancement of the rest of the field.  Bruce Walker was charged with the caution relegating him to the back of the current field, and the cars from Hollenbaugh on back were scored from the previous green lap.  The outcome:  Larry Hollenbaugh-First, Mark Stiffler-Second, Dan Stormer-Third, Tom Snyder-Fourth, and Denny Walker-Fifth.  Rounding out the top ten were:  Chris Johnston-sixth, Jim Baker-seventh, Rich Womeldorf-eighth, Jim Detman-ninth, and Tom Jobe-tenth.  Larry Hollenbaugh also won his heat race; and the other heat was won by Scott Stein.

Jeff Taylor became the first repeat winner in the Pepsi Street Stock Division. After having a different winner every week, Taylor was able to break the spell and break away from the rest of the pack for the victory giving him wins in two out of four of the Pepsi Street Stock features.  Matt Hugill started on the pole and Rich Waltman took the lead away from him on the second lap, and by the third lap, Eric Lingenfelter was the leader.  Lingenfelter led much of the race from that point as things settled down in the middle of the race.  Towards the end of the twenty-lap feature, Jeff Taylor took the opportunity to take the lead from Lingenfelter and was able to outrun him in several restarts near the end of the race.  Taylor picked up the win, Lingenfelter was second, third went to John Weaver, Scott Stein was fourth, and Bob Hill was fifth.  Sixth place was where Matt Hugill finished up, Rich Waltman right behind him for seventh, Jake Ayers came in eighth, Gregg Blystone picked up ninth and Scott Charles finished tenth.  Both Blystone and Charles were first-timers at the track.  In the heats:  Scott Stein easily won his heat and Tim White took the other heat.

In the Lias Tire and Auto Service Late Model Division, in Satterlee in the beginning and Satterlee at the end but it wasn’t the same car, or driver.  Ben Satterlee started the Lias Tire feature on the pole and did very well as a young driver in keeping the lead for seven laps.  Then others started pushing for the lead, which Ben held his ground until it was Dad racing up beside him to challenge the young driver’s skill.  Dave Satterlee, Ben’s father, passed Ben and opened the door for others to follow.  Slowly Ben drifted back into the pack as Dave continued to press onward in the lead.  Dave Satterlee won his first feature this season at Marion Center, after two second places, and the victory at Dog Hollow Speedway Friday night gave him back-to-back victories.  Jerry Redden took second place, Ken Schaltenbrand finished third, Alex Ferree was fourth, and Rick Lias took fifth.  Sixth place went to Mike Blose, Tony Raneri was seventh, Rick Strong-eighth, Rick Davis-ninth, and Chuck Sarver-tenth.  And Ben Satterlee-just bumped out of the top ten-took eleventh.  In the Lias Tire heats:  Ken Schaltenbrand and Rick Lias were the winners. 

The newest feature of the night was in the Don Huey Custom Building and Remodeling 4 Cylinder Rice Burners.  Ten competitors came out for the first running of the four cylinder class at Marion Center Speedway.  An old familiar name crept up as the cars took the track-Randy Reed, a former competitor from Punxsutawney in the Pro-Stock division of last season was behind the wheel of a Dodge Neon to compete in the races.  Reed did very well by taking the heat race and the feature with somewhat of a clean sweep.  Reed’s toughest competition was Mike Ziner who finished a close second, and Dan Adams looked strong in third place.  Brent Buterbaugh swept up fourth place and George McFeaters and teammate Mike Hurd were fifth.  Wayne Keith took sixth, Burt Whetzel was seventh, Glenn Carpenter-eighth, Andrew Satterlee (younger brother of Ben) took ninth, and tenth went to Paul Douglas.  This could be one of those classes that grows on you.  The racing was competitive, and a lot of the drivers were not experienced veterans of the track like Reed.  We’ll need to keep an eye on this division to see how well it grows and which direction it’s headed.  It could be something good for new drivers to try and “get their feet wet”, and gain experience for future moves into other divisions-like Jeff Gordon starting with go-karts-or just a low budget race division for backyard mechanics and people that just want to race without all the hassle of sponsors and spending the kids’ college fund.  Good luck four cylinders, and spread the word-it’s fun and exciting-and cheap but worth it too.

JUNE 05, 2004

Light rain or a drizzle throughout much of the day, and overcast skies kept Marion Center  Speedway’s clay oval damp and tacky for Saturday night’s races.  The track conditions are always favored by some and disliked by a few, but there wasn’t any dust in the fans’ eyes so they could witness all the exciting action on the track.

The Pepsi Street Stock division was the first feature of the night. John Oaks started on the pole and was running great, but the front-runners in the race soon found themselves intermixed with slower cars as they started to lap cars.  After the halfway flags came out, Scott Stein found an opening to shoot through to take the lead.  Stein won the feature with Oaks coming in second place.  Scott Alvetro picked up third followed by Eric Lingenfelter in fourth, Bob Hill in fifth, and Tim White was sixth.  Next came Jeff Taylor-seventh, Jim Boyer-eighth, Skip Lindemuth-ninth, and Don Waltman in tenth.  The preliminary heats were won by John Weaver and Scott Stein.

B D Laraway started on the pole of the Lias Tire Latemodels, and went on to take the checkered flag for his first win in driving Late Models.  If it wouldn’t have been for Sammy Stile, Laraway would’ve went flag to flag in the lead.  Early into the race Stile made a pass on Laraway for the lead, then coming off number 4 turn, something let loose in the Stile car and he was left sitting waiting on tow.  The incident put Laraway back into the lead, which he held onto despite the efforts of other tough competitors.  Mike Blose, Jerry Redden, Rod Phillips were just some of the drivers that came close to taking the lead, but it wasn’t to be-it was BD’s night.  Finishing second to Laraway was Rodney Phillips; Jerry Redden was in third, Mike Blose took fourth, and Dave Peterman was fifth.  Dave Blazavich finished sixth with Dave Satterlee in seventh, Bobby Stone in eighth, Keith Witherite was ninth and Chuck Sarver took tenth.  Dave Satterlee and Dave Peterman each won a heat race for the Lias Tire Late Models.

The end of the Stitching Post Strictly Stock feature was exciting with the lead changing every other lap.  Bruce Large started on the pole and held the front position for the first ten laps.  Steve McKendree then passed Large to lead two laps, then debris on the racetrack brought out a caution flag to slow things down.  The restart was what Jack Mumau needed to get around McKendree.  Mumau was able to keep the lead for the remaining few laps for the victory.  Steve McKendree took second, Robert James was third, Dave Williams took fourth and fifth went to Tim Good.  Rounding out the top ten were in order: Bruce Large, Tom Baun, Justin Queen, Don Hickok, and Dee Deyarmin.  Justin Queen and Robert James won the heat races.

There were some exciting times in the East American Motorsport Steel Block Limited Latemodel division feature.  Shawn McGarvey brought the cars onto the track from his pole position starting point and continued to lead until a caution came out after four laps into the race.  McGarvey was not involved in the incident, but for some reason McGarvey went to the pits under caution and never returned.  The action of McGarvey put Bernie Whiteford in the leaders position.  Whiteford was pursued by Denny Walker and then Cheyenne Reed came around Walker to challenge Whiteford, but Reed wasn’t able to pass Whiteford either.  Larry Hollenbaugh had worked his way to the front and also tried to pass Whiteford but wasn’t able to do it.  Bernie Whiteford picked up the checkered flag for first; Larry Hollenbaugh was second, Cheyenne Reed-third, Chris Johnston-fourth and Denny Walker-fifth.  Sixth through tenth positions were filled by Dan Stormer-sixth, Ray Weaver-seventh, Carl Ruth-eighth, Tom Jobe-ninth and an unidentified new driver to the track was tenth driving the 1B car.  The heat races were won by Shane McMeans and Tom Snyder.

The Don Huey Custom Building and Remodeling 4 Cylinder Rice Burner division was won by Randy Reed for the second week in a row, which makes Reed undefeated in the division.  Reed pulled away from the field after coming from last in a field of a dozen cars to take the lead at the halfway point from Dan Adams who led the first half of the feature.  Dennis Weisgarber followed Reed around Adams but was unable to keep up with Reed and finished in second with Adams in third.  Matt Shirk finished fourth, Jason Peters-fifth, Andrew Satterlee-sixth, Gregg Satterlee-seventh, Virgil Small –eighth, Wayne Keith-ninth, and an unidentified 18F was tenth.  Finishing out the field were Bert Wetzel and Brent Buterbaugh.  The heats for the Don Huey 4 Cylinders were won by Randy Reed and Jason Peters.

The Twin Twenty-five lap features for the Lias Tire Latemodels that was scheduled for Memorial Day and rained out has been rescheduled for Saturday, July31 as a regular night of racing.  The Twin twenty-five lap features will have preliminary heats for each with only a pre-determined number of cars from the first feature automatically qualifying for the second feature.  The payoff for the Latemodels will be $1500 MINIMUM to win each feature-the payoff continues to grow as new sponsors come forward to increase the purse (thanks to Pepsi and Don Huey Custom Building and Remodeling, and there’s always room for more-contact the speedway at 724-397-2620 or 724-397-2718 for more information).  The race time will be 7:30 PM, same as Saturday nights’ regular programs.  The night’s events will also include the Stitching Post Strictly Stocks, and the Don Huey Custom Building and Remodeling 4 Cylinder Rice Burners.  The East American Motorsport Steel Block Limited Late Models are invited to run with the Lias Tire Latemodels that night.  All other track rules will be in effect.

Kid’s Bike Races have been scheduled!  The bike races will be held during intermission on June 26, July 17, and the Championship on August 14.  The Home Made Restaurant in Home and Pepsi are helping to sponsor this seasons bike races.  

Special thanks to Butler Auto Supply for their sponsorship and the following sponsors for door prizes:  Vanderpools Checkered Flag Collectibles of Punxsutawney (near WalMart), Sandy Kaye’s Restaurant in Shelocta, Furniture World East in Kittanning and Indiana Don Huey Custom Building and Remodeling of Indiana, and Freedom Outdoor Furnaces.

JUNE 12, 2004

It was a great night of racing at Marion Center Speedway Saturday night with friendly skies shining overhead and  a shiny red pace truck from Kelly Chrysler/Jeep /Dodge of Brookville to lead the features onto the track and set the pace for restarts when necessary.  Jerome Gearhart, Service Manager for Kelly brought the truck to the track and Bill Kelly from the dealership was also on board the Hemi Sport model of the Dodge Ram truck.

 Aaron Walker was a good leader in the Stitching Post Strictly Stock feature as he took his line from the outside pole position to the checkered flag.  Walker from Sykesville, led the entire race with Tim Good right behind him (where he started) and Dee Deyarmin had the starting position behind Good and finished third-behind Good.  That’s as far as the line-up went in following the leader with Robert James coming up from the 17’th slot to take fourth splitting Deyarmin and Jack Mumau to break the chain.  Sixth place went to Steve McKendree; followed by Justin Queen in seventh, Dave Williams-8’th, Mike Boring-9’th, and Ryan Daughenbaugh in tenth.  The Stitching Post Strictly Stock heats were won by Jack Mumau, Don Hickok and Dee Deyarmin.

 In the East American Motorsport Steel Block Limited Latemodel division feature the Punxsutawney Trio swept the top three positions.  Bruce Walker started on the pole and kept the lead throughout the feature.  Walker was pursued heavily by Cheyenne Reed who started beside him, but Reed couldn’t get past Walker.  Larry Hollenbaugh was hooked up again Saturday night coming from eleventh on the starting grid to challenge Walker for the lead in laps 14 through 20 after Hollenbaugh passed Reed, and settled into second place.  Following Reed’s third place finish was Alex Nicoletti in fourth and Chris Johnston in fifth.  Gary Miller, Jr. took sixth; Dave Buchanan-7’th, Dan Stormer was eighth after having two positions taken away from him for jumping on the last restart after a caution; Clay Copeman was ninth, and tenth went to Ray Weaver.  Ray Weaver had won his heat race as well as Chris Johnston and Rich Womeldorf.  –On a side note, Tom Snyder who was ejected from last weeks races for rough driving and then given two weeks off for the hand gestures he made at the officials while leaving the track, has been suspended indefinitely from being at Marion Center Speedway for continuing his actions and the actions of his pit crew after leaving the racing surface area.  Good sportsmanship is a must for all competitors in any sport, and the family friendly atmosphere of Marion Center Speedway should not be compromised by inappropriate actions of participants, spectators or staff.

 The Pepsi Street Stock division was the next feature race of the night.  Eric Lingenfelter took the pole for this event and was able to lead the first seven laps before he spun out and Jim Boyer took over the lead.  Boyer started in eighth place and had caught up to Lingenfelter thus getting the lead with Lingenfelter’s spin out.  Jeff Taylor worked his way from fifteenth into second place to put Tim White in third after White had started in second.  One of the new people at the track Saturday night, Paul Schreckengost of Creighton, took fourth place and Scott Stein rounded out the top five.  Jake Ayers finished sixth; Rob Shook (also new from Creighton) –seventh, Eric Lingenfelter ended the race in eighth, John Weaver –ninth and Jason Fosnaught was tenth.  Taking the heats for the Pepsi Street Stocks were Jim Boyer, Jake Ayers and John Oaks. 

 Ken Schaltenbrand started the Lias Tire Latemodel feature on the outside pole and led the first eight laps, but before the half-way flags came out, Dave Satterlee who started in line behind Schaltenbrand made a pass for the lead that he would not relinquish for the rest of the race.  Satterlee was caught by Mike Blose who only had to keep up with Satterlee from the beginning of the race, starting directly behind him, but the other cars on the track kept “following the leader” a little difficult at times.  Satterlee knew that any mistake would let Blose into the lead, but Dave Satterlee didn’t make any mistakes to win the Lias Tire Latemodel Feature with Mike Blose in a close second place finish.  Ken Schaltenbrand took third place; Rod Phillips was fourth, and Rick Lias finished fifth.  Rounding out the top ten in order were Rick Strong-sixth, Dave Blazavich-seventh, Tom Kitchen-eighth, Chuck Sarver-ninth and then Rick Davis.  In the preliminary heats, Rick Strong and Rod Phillips were the winners.

 Randy Reed swept the Don Huey Custom Building and Remodeling 4 Cylinder Rice Burners again for the third straight win, but this time it wasn’t as easy.  Reed started last on the inside row of an eighteen car starting grid (It’s Growing!) and a new driver in the division, Doug Hollenbaugh (only new to this division of racing) was starting near the front and determined to keep fellow Punxsy native out of first place.  Hollenbaugh nearly succeeded in dethroning the Rice Burner King, Randy Reed but on the last turn of the last lap, Randy Reed was coming past Hollenbaugh to take the checkers.  Hollenbaugh gave Reed a friendly “nudge” towards the wall as Reed went by him in a last ditch effort to win the race, but Reed handled that too and won the third straight 4 Cylinder feature.  Doug Hollenbaugh took second and was there to congratulate Reed when he posed for photos after the race.  Brent Buterbaugh took third place, Chad Satterlee was fourth (yes it’s yet another Satterlee on the track)-followed by Andrew Satterlee in fifth and Greg Satterlee in sixth.  Richie Brown started on the pole for the feature and finished seventh; Eric Myers was eighth, Glen Carpenter was ninth and Wayne Keith was tenth.  Winning the heats were Andrew Satterlee and Jeremy Detwiler.  The 4 Cylinders are really having fun on the track, and there might be a little more bumping, or “rubbing” going on that makes the track officials nervous.  But you know they’re having fun when Greg Satterlee comes onto the track in his miniature station wagon with luggage strapped to the roof like the “family truckster” in a Chevy Chase movie. 

 Next week at the track will be the “Father’s Day Special” so bring Dad to a night of racing for Father’s Day.  Also, be sure to mark your calendars for this year’s Independence Day celebration with racing and fireworks on Saturday night, July 3.  As a part of the regular racing program, a fireworks display by the Starfire Corp. will light up the skies again this year.

 The Twin Twenty-five lap features for the Lias Tire Latemodels that was scheduled for Memorial Day and rained out has been rescheduled for Saturday, July 31 as a regular night of racing.  The Twin twenty-five lap features will have preliminary heats for each with only a pre-determined number of cars from the first feature automatically qualifying for the second feature.  The payoff for the Latemodels will be $1500 MINIMUM to win each feature-the payoff continues to grow as new sponsors come forward to increase the purse (thanks to Pepsi and Don Huey Custom Building and Remodeling, and there’s always room for more-contact the speedway at 724-397-2620 or 724-397-2718 for more information).  The race time will be 7:30 PM, same as Saturday nights’ regular programs.  The night’s events will also include the Stitching Post Strictly Stocks, and the Don Huey Custom Building and Remodeling 4 Cylinder Rice Burners.  The East American Motorsport Steel Block Limited Late Models are invited to run with the Lias Tire Latemodels that night.  All other track rules will be in effect.

 A Special race for the East American Motorsport Limited Latemodels will be held on Wednesday, August 4, 2004.  Keep watching for more details-as of now the Pepsi Street Stocks and the Stitching Post Strictly Stocks as well as the Don Huey $ Cylinders may also be running that night with the Limited Lates.

 Kid’s Bike Races have been scheduled!  The bike races will be held during intermission on June 26, July 17, and the Championship on August 14.  The Home Made Restaurant in Home and Pepsi are helping to sponsor this seasons bike races.

JUNE 19, 2004

Marion Center Speedway hopes everyone had a Happy Father’s Day.  Saturday night a shiny yellow Dodge Ram pace truck from Kelly Chrysler/Jeep /Dodge of Brookville led the features onto the track and set the pace for restarts when necessary.  Jerome Gearhart, Service Manager for Kelly brought the “Rumble Bee”, Hemi-powered special edition truck to the track.

 The Pepsi Street Stock division was the first feature race of the night.  Scott Stein from Cherry Tree took the race from start to finish in front of the pack.  Stein moved around Jeff Hoffman on the first lap to take the lead from the ‘pole-sitter’and held the front line the rest of the race.  Tim White was close behind Stein for the first half of the race, but then was retired early.  Don Waltman came up from 8’th place on the start to challenge Stein, but could only follow for a second place finish.  Third place went to Jamie Barber, John Oaks took 4’th, and Bob Hill was fifth.  Jake Ayers took sixth with Jeff Taylor finishing seventh, Jeff Bastin was eighth, Matt Hugill –ninth, and Denny Keener took tenth.  In the preliminary heats, Bob Hill, Scott Stein, and Tim White were all winners.

 The Lias Tire Latemodel feature was another “one leader” race.  That one leader was Sammy Stile from Charleroi.  Stile started on the outside pole position and immediately took control of the race.  Mike Blose was in the second row behind the pole and was also determined to get the lead.  Stile and Blose battled the entire twenty laps for the lead with at least three other cars on their tails with any one of them having the potential to win the feature event.  Sammy Stile won the race with Mike Blose close behind for second and winning the battle for third was Rick Strong over Dave Peterman who took fourth and Dave Satterlee taking fifth.  Not far behind was the rest of the field with sixth through tenth places filled by Rick Lias, Dave Blazavich, Gary Pease, B D Laraway, and Ben Satterlee.  Winning the Lias Tire heats were Chuck Sarver, Mike Blose, and Sammy Stile.

 Robert James from Mahaffey won his second Stitching Post Strictly Stock feature Saturday night by going flag to flag in the lead.  James started on the outside pole and took the lead on the first lap.  Jack Mumau came up from eighth place to challenge for the lead and was on the back bumper of James at the halfway point of the feature.  Mumau came in second and Tom Baun went from first to third in the race.  Dee Deyarmin moved through the pack from ninth to fourth and Don Hickok finished fifth.  Tim Good took sixth place and was followed by Steve McKendree in seventh, Larry Matter-eighth, Aaron Walker-ninth, and Justin Queen was tenth.  Aaron Walker, Don Walker, and Robert James won the three Stitching Post heat races.

 In the East American Motorsport Steel Block Limited Latemodel division feature, Larry Hollenbaugh from Punxsutawney picked up his fourth feature win of the season.  Cheyenne Reed got a good start on the feature from the outside pole position taking the lead from Hollenbaugh who was the pole position leader.  Reed held off Hollenbaugh until Hollenbaugh took advantage of a restart near the halfway point of the race to get back ahead of Reed.  Chris Johnston then separated the two and Reed didn’t get back in second settling for third behind Johnston who got second close behind Hollenbaugh.  Fourth place went to Dave Buchanan and Bruce Walker picked up fifth.  Shane McMeans finished sixth, Dan Stormer took seventh, Bill Strong-eighth, Carl Ruth-ninth, and Bill Phillips took tenth.  Shane McMeans and Chris Johnston each took a heat race for the East American Motorsport Steel Block Limited Latemodels.

 Randy Reed elected to start in the back of the Don Huey Custom Building and Remodeling 4 Cylinder Rice Burners for the feature, and the move didn’t work out, although it probably had nothing to do with the outcome.  Randy Reed was quickly moving through the pack of cars to the front when a flat tire barely slowed his progress, but the black flag thrown on him for that flat tire digging into the racetrack sent him to the pits and he didn’t return.  In the front of the race, Richie Brown was busy taking the lead from Doug Hollenbaugh.  Hollenbaugh started on the outside pole and led the first four laps of the feature until Brown caught him from his sixth place starting position and then passed him for the lead and eventually the win de-throning the Rice-Burner King, Randy Reed (although this was the only feature not won by Randy Reed).  Chad Satterlee moved from third to second place in the race, and Dan Adams moved up from eighth place to third.  Hollenbaugh came in fourth and for his first time running this division at Marion Center Speedway, Bob Rougeaux, Jr. finished fifth.  Sixth place went to Merle Bolette, seventh was Greg Satterlee, Glen Carpenter took eighth, Thomasina Swartz finished ninth and tenth place went to Wayne Keith.  Randy Reed and Chad Satterlee were the winners in the heats. 

 Next week at the track will be the first running of the Kid’s Bike Races.  Be sure to have bikes and helmets on hand to participate in the intermission event sponsored in part by the Home Maid restaurant, soft serve and mini-golf in Home.  Also, be sure to mark your calendars for this year’s Independence Day celebration with racing and fireworks on Saturday night, July 3.  As a part of the regular racing program, a fireworks display by the Starfire Corp. will light up the skies again this year.

 The Twin Twenty-five lap features for the Lias Tire Latemodels that were scheduled for Memorial Day and rained out has been rescheduled for Saturday, July 31 as a regular night of racing.  The Twin twenty-five lap features will have preliminary heats for each with only a pre-determined number of cars from the first feature automatically qualifying for the second feature.  The payoff for the Latemodels will be $1500 MINIMUM to win each feature-the payoff continues to grow as new sponsors come forward to increase the purse (thanks to Pepsi and Don Huey Custom Building and Remodeling, and there’s always room for more-contact the speedway at 724-397-2620 or 724-397-2718 for more information).  The race time will be 7:30 PM, same as Saturday nights’ regular programs.  The night’s events will also include the Stitching Post Strictly Stocks, and the Don Huey Custom Building and Remodeling 4 Cylinder Rice Burners.  The East American Motorsport Steel Block Limited Late Models are invited to run with the Lias Tire Latemodels that night.  All other track rules will be in effect.

JUNE 26, 2004

Larry Matter from Plumboro went from flag to flag to win the Stitching Post Strictly Stock feature Saturday night at Marion Center Speedway.  Matter built up a good lead and was able to pull away from the rest of the pack on restarts for the win.  Second place in the feature went to Justin Queen; Tim Good took third.  Fourth place was Tom Baun, with John Poling III in fifth.  Sixth through tenth places went to:  Jack Mumau, Dave Williams, Bruce Large, Gary Hepler, and Matt Wright.  The Stitching Post Strictly Stock heat races were won by John Poling III, Jack Mumau, and Larry Matter.

 Several cautions in the East American Motorsport Limited Latemodels may have contributed to the outcome of the feature by keeping the pack close together.  Dale Yeaney started up front and led the first laps with several complete starts and one lap down restarts.  Then Randall Paxton, Jr. took over the lead and stayed up front despite Larry Hollenbaugh’s attempts to take the lead.  Hollenbaugh just couldn’t find an opening to get around Paxton, and for the second time this season he did not win the East American Motorsport Limited Latemodel feature.  Paxton won the feature with Hollenbaugh right behind him.  Third place went to Cheyenne Reed; Bruce Walker was fourth and Dave Buchanan took fifth.  Rounding out the top ten in order were Chris Johnston, Dan Stormer, Tom Shaffer, Chris Baker and Howie Tapper.  The heats were won by Larry Matter, John Poling III, and Jack Mumau.

 Tim White started on the pole of the Pepsi Street Stock feature and led the first seven laps before Scott Stein caught up to him and made the pass for the lead and went to win the feature.  Stein was followed by John Oaks who finished second, Tim White took third, Jeff Taylor finished fifth.  Sixth place went to Mark Bell, Jamie Barber-seventh, Eric Lingenfelter-8’th, Don Waltman-9’th and Matt Hugill took 10’th.  In the preliminary heats, the winners were Jim Boyer, Jeff Taylor, and Scott Stein.

 Dave Satterlee racked up another win in the Lias Tire Latemodels Saturday night at Marion Center Speedway giving him a total of three victories.  Satterlee went flag to flag as the leader of the race, with Floyd Kline from Marion Center in a close second place.  Third place went to Mike Blose followed by Rick Lias, B.D. Laraway, Ken Schaltenbrand, Chuck Sarver, Jerry Redden, Dave Peterman, and Rick Strong.  In the heat races, the winners were Mike Blose, Dave Blazavich, and Floyd Kline.

 The Don Huey Custom Building and Remodeling 4 Cylinder Rice Burners was the next feature on the quarter-mile clay oval.  Randy Reed was once again victorious in the race.  Second place went to Chad Satterlee with Doug Hollenbaugh coming in a close third.  Fourth place went to Richie Brown and fifth went to Dan Adams.  Sixth through tenth places were filled by Greg Satterlee, Randy Brocious, Bobby Rougeaux, Gary Satterlee, and Thomasina Swartz.

 The Twin Twenty-five lap features for the Lias Tire Latemodels that were scheduled for Memorial Day and rained out has been rescheduled for Saturday, July 31 as a regular night of racing.  The Twin twenty-five lap features will have preliminary heats for each with only a pre-determined number of cars from the first feature automatically qualifying for the second feature.  The payoff for the Latemodels will be $1500 MINIMUM to win each feature-the payoff continues to grow as new sponsors come forward to increase the purse (thanks to Pepsi and Don Huey Custom Building and Remodeling, and there’s always room for more-contact the speedway at 724-397-2620 or 724-397-2718 for more information).  The race time will be 7:30 PM, same as Saturday nights’ regular programs.  The night’s events will also include the Stitching Post Strictly Stocks, and the Don Huey Custom Building and Remodeling 4 Cylinder Rice Burners.  The East American Motorsport Steel Block Limited Late Models are invited to run with the Lias Tire Latemodels that night.  All other track rules will be in effect.

 The first running of the Kid’s Bike Races took place Saturday night so be sure to check out the Marion Center Speedway website for the results of that event sponsored in part by the Home Maid restaurant, soft serve and mini-golf in Home.  Also, be sure to mark your calendars for this year’s Independence Day celebration with racing and fireworks on Saturday night, July 3.  As a part of the regular racing program, a fireworks display by the Starfire Corp. will light up the skies again this year.

 A Special race for the East American Motorsport Limited Latemodels will be held on Wednesday, August 4, 2004.  Keep watching for more details-as of now the Pepsi Street Stocks and the Stitching Post Strictly Stocks as well as the Don Huey 4 Cylinders may also be running that night.

 Special thanks to Butler Auto Supply for their sponsorship and the following sponsors for door prizes:  Vanderpools Checkered Flag Collectibles of Punxsutawney (near WalMart), Furniture World East in Kittanning and Indiana, and Freedom Outdoor Furnaces.

JULY 03, 2004

Marion Center Speedway was packed full of race fans and cars Saturday night for the Independence Day celebration at the quarter-mile clay oval.  After the night of the five divisions of racing were completed, the Starfire Corporation lit up the sky with a tremendous fireworks show.

            On the track for the first feature of the night were the Pepsi Street Stocks.  It was a little rough at the beginning of the feature with cautions delaying the race and prohibiting the drivers from breaking out to spread the field of cars around the track.  Jake Ayers started on the pole and led the first portion of the feature until Tim White exploded to the front from his eleventh position start to take the lead from Ayers.  Tim White held off advances by Eric Lingenfelter and Jeff Taylor to keep the lead to the checkered flag.  Lingenfelter finished second, Taylor third, and Ayers was fourth.  John Oaks picked up fifth place and was followed by Don Waltman, John Weaver, Jason Fosnaught, Skip Lindemuth, and Jeremy Kunselman to complete the top ten.  The Pepsi Street Stock heat races were won by Scott Stein, Tim White and Don Waltman.

            There was a “new kid in town” for the weekend and he made his presence known with a bang in the Lias Tire Latemodels. George Foltz dominated the heat race he was in prior to the features Saturday night and proceeded to do the same in the feature.  Mike Blose started in the second row, but was the first leader of the race-a position he held until almost the half-way point when George Foltz from Beachcreek blazed his way to the front from 12’th place on the starting grid to take the lead for the last half of the race.  Mike Blose was right behind Foltz to be in position if at any time the leader faulted on a move to leave the window of opportunity open for Blose to capitalize on.  But Foltz didn’t falter, and won the Lias Tire Latemodel feature with Blose as close behind in second place as you can get.  Floyd Kline finished the feature in third place, Rick Strong took fourth, and Chuck Sarver was fifth.  Rounding out the top ten in the Lias Tire Latemodels were:  Jerry Redden, Gary Pease, Dave Peterman, Tom Kitchen, and Keith Witherite.  Besides Foltz, Jerry Redden and Dave Satterlee were also heat race winners.

            It was a “Boring” Stitching Post Strictly Stock feature, but not in the usual way you think of boring.  Mike Boring independently led the Stitching Post Strictly Stock feature from beginning to end, and Charlie Boring made his season debut at the track picking up second place in the process.  After the Borings in first and second places, ‘crazy’ John Mazey finished in third; Jack Muamu celebrated his birthday with fourth place, and Steve McKendree was fifth.  Justin Queen finished sixth, Tom Baun-seventh, Tim Good-eighth, Larry Matter-ninth, and Bob Benedict-tenth.  Steve McKendree, John Mazey, and Jack Mumau were winners in the preliminary heats.

            The Don Huey Custom Building and Remodeling 4 Cylinder Rice Burners are a “booming breed of cars” at the Marion Center Speedway.  Nineteen of the 4 cylinder, front wheel drive cars entered the feature event. Doug Hollenbaugh took a dynamic lead early in the race moving from tenth place at the start to lead the first lap.  It appeared as though Randy Reed was using Hollenbaugh to break through the pack of cars to get to the front as he followed close behind from eleventh on the starting grid, lap after lap trying to find the right way to pass Hollenbaugh.  As you watched the race, you had the feeling Reed was going to pass Hollenbaugh at any moment to gain another victory in the Don Huey sponsored division; but Hollenbaugh held onto the lead and Reed surrendered to second place.  Greg Satterlee changed the number on Chad Satterlee’s car for his own use (a legal move) and drove it to a third place finish.  Zack Zbur made his dirt track racing debut behind the wheel of Mike Hurd’s car and picked up fourth place for his efforts in this style of racing.  Jeff Lyons was a first-timer to the track this season and was able to capture fifth place.  The top ten rounded out with Dan Adams in sixth, Andrew Satterlee in seventh, Randy Brocious-eighth, Wayne Keith-ninth, and Virgil Small was tenth.  Michael Hurd’s car won the first heat race-not sure if it was driven by Hurd or Zbur in the heats-and Randy Reed won the other heat race. 

            Bursting into the lead in the final laps of the East American Motorsport Steel Block Limited Latemodels, Cheyenne Reed won his first feature of the season.  Dan Stormer’s hopes of the victory were fizzled out when Reed got around Ray Weaver after a dozen laps were completed to move up on Stormer who had led the race from his pole position start.  Reed carefully planned his attack and then came around Stormer with no surprise to lead the final three laps for the win.  Stormer held onto second place, leaving Weaver in third.  Tom Jobe took fourth place and Bruce Walker finished fifth.  Shane McMeans picked up sixth place, Jim Baker took seventh, Dave Buchanan-eighth, Chris Johnston-ninth, and Jim Detman was tenth.  Larry Hollenbaugh was one of the winners in the heat races, but didn’t fare as well in the feature.  Hollenbaugh was involved in two cautions in the feature and had to retire early due to the track rules.  The other heat race was won by Chris Johnston. 

            Race Fans!!  Update your calendars so you don’t miss any of the action at Marion Center Speedway- Saturday, July 31, 2004 is the scheduled make up day for the rained out Memorial Day Special-the Twin Twenty-Five Lap features for the Lias Tire Latemodels.  The top payout for the race has been growing and is now paying $2000 to win feature for the Latemodels.  The Limited Latemodels are welcome to run with the Latemodels that night, as they won’t have their own feature.  The program will also include the Stitching Post Strictly Stocks and the Don Huey 4 Cylinder Rice Burners.  If this program should be rained out, the RAIN DATE will Be:Sunday August 1. 

            Another addition to your calendar should be the Labor Day Special coming up September 6, 2004.  The Labor Day Special race on Monday night will feature a “Super Latemodel” feature paying out $1500 to win and a 410 Sprint feature also paying $1500 to win.  If the Labor Day races are rained out they’re scheduled to be made up on Sunday, September 12, 2004.

            Marion Center Speedway would like to join the Starfire Corporation (who conducted the fireworks show at the track) and the  following sponsors in wishing everyone a Happy and Safe Independence Day Celebration:  Butler Auto Supply, Lias Tire and Auto Service the home of American made Cooper Tires, East American Motorsports, the Stitching Post, Don Huey Custom Building and Remodeling, the Pepsi Co.; and Door Prize Sponsors:  Furniture World East, Sandy Kaye’s Restaurant, Vanderpool’s Checkered Flag Collectibles, Freedom Outdoor Furnaces, and our Bike Race Sponsors:  Pepsi and the Home Maid Restaurant.

JULY 10, 2004

Marion Center Speedway’s pits were filled up with almost 100 competing racecars Saturday night for a regular program of racing in the five divisions:  The Stitching Post Strictly Stock, the East American Motorsport Steel Block Limited Latemodel, the Pepsi Street Stocks, the Lias Tire and Auto Service Latemodel, and the Don Huey Custom Building and Remodeling 4 Cylinder Rice Burners.

The Stitching Post Strictly Stock feature, Tim Good started out in great position on the outside pole with Bruce Large in the pole slot.  Good moved out to take the lead and was followed by Robert James who had started right behind Good in the second row.  The two ran first and second throughout the race until James decided it was time to change the leader, and made a pass on Good to lead the 11 through 15 laps of the feature.  Tim Good kept up with James, but couldn’t get the lead back to finish in second place behind Robert James.  A first timer at the track, Fred Imler from Holidaysburg pulled up from starting 13’th to take third place; Bruce Large went from the pole to fourth at the checkers and Steve McKendree finished fifth.  Sixth through tenth places went to Tom Baun, Jack Mumau, Don Hickok, Larry Matter, and Brett Kalanavich.  In the Stitching Post Strictly Stock preliminary heat races, Robert James, Steve McKendree, and Tim Good were all winners.

            The East American Motorsport Steel Block Limited Latemodels were the second feature of the night.  Shane McMeans of Dayton won his first feature of his racing career Saturday night by leading the entire East American Motorsport feature from start to finish.  McMeans started on the outside pole and took command of the race from Tom Jobe on the pole at the drop of the green flag.  Chris Johnston started behind McMeans and followed the path McMeans cut around the track, but then, after about a third of the feature had passed under the flag stand, Larry Hollenbaugh passed Chris Johnston and had his eye on McMeans and another victory.  Hollenbaugh chased McMeans around the track for the next thirteen or so laps but didn’t get to pass him giving Shane McMeans his first victory in the East American Motorsport Steel Block Limited Latemodel feature.  Hollenbaugh picked up second place coming up from eighth place at the start to do it.  Tom Shaffer also got around Chris Johnston to take third place, Johnston finished fourth, and fifth place went to Dan Stormer.  Jim Baker was sixth in the feature; Jim Detman-seventh, Tom Jobe finished eighth, Dave Buchanan-ninth, and tenth was filled by Howie Tapper.  The East American Motorsport heat races were won by Chris Johnston and Dave Buchanan.

            Scott Stein picked up another victory in the Pepsi Street Stock feature giving him four wins in ten races so far this season, the most for the division.  Stein won this feature by working his way up from eighth place at the start to challenging Don Waltman, who started on the pole, for the lead with five laps to go.  Stein passed Waltman and went on to win the Pepsi Street Stock feature.  Don Waltman took second place, Jeff Taylor finished third, Tim White was fourth and fifth went to John Weaver.  Skip Lindemuth took home sixth place, Eric Lingenfelter, who had jumped the start on the restart of a caution and was docked two positions, came away with seventh, Rich Waltman finished eighth, Bob Hill took ninth and tenth went to Denny Keener.  The Pepsi Street Stock heats were won by Jeff Taylor, Tim White, and Jake Ayers.

            Dave Satterlee also picked up his fourth win of the season in the Lias Tire and Auto Service Latemodel features making him the winningest driver in the division so far this year.  Satterlee pulled the pole position from the straight-up heats races for the feature and never let another driver pass him to capture the victory.  Other drivers tried to foil Satterlee’s plans but neither Dave Peterman nor Rick Strong could get around Satterlee to win the Lias Tire Latemodel feature.  Peterman came in second place with Strong in third.  Sammy Stile finished in fourth and Ken Schaltenbrand took fifth.  Rounding out the top ten in order were Mike Blose, Rick Lias, Gary Pease, Tony Raneri, and Floyd Kline.  In the Lias Tire and Auto Service heats, the winners were Dave Peterman, Rick Strong, and Rick Lias. 

            The Don Huey Custom Building and Remodeling 4 Cylinder Rice Burner Division continues to grow at Marion Center Speedway.  This week there were twenty-three cars in the division expanding from starting with ten cars just six weeks ago in the first feature ever for the front-wheel drive, four cylinder cars.  One of the new drivers this week was nearly successful at bumping off the division leader in the feature; Scot Umbaugh from Bolivar nearly passed Randy Reed on the final time around the track, but Reed wasn’t going to let that happen and made it to the finish line first to win his fifth feature in seven possible races.  Dan Adams started on the pole for the Don Huey sponsored feature and was able to maintain the lead for the first half of the race.  Randy Reed seemed to be toying with Adams, letting him lead until he decided it was time to take over.  What did seem to be a surprise was Scot Umbaugh passing Reed a few laps after Reed took the lead to put himself in a winning position.  The two cars battled through the pack of slower vehicles for the remaining five laps changing the lead back to Reed with three laps to go.  Umbaugh wasn’t able to get back in front of Reed and finished second to the dominating Reed, but gave him a run for the money in the process.  Umbaugh took second place, Adams was third, and Zack Zbur once again picked up fourth place (his second fourth place in just two races) leaving Gregg Satterlee in fifth.  Rounding out the top ten were Doug Hollenbaugh-sixth, Glen Carpenter-seventh, Larry Depp-eighth, Adam Brink-ninth, and Mike Lamer was tenth.  The Don Huey Custom Building and Remodeling 4 Cylinder Rice Burner heats were won by Zack Zbur, Adam Brink, and Randy Reed.

            Race Fans!!  Update your calendars so you don’t miss any of the action at Marion Center Speedway- Kid’s Bike Races sponsored by the Home Maid Restaurant in Home, PA will take place next Saturday, July 17 and Saturday, July 31, 2004 is the scheduled make up day for the rained out Memorial Day Special-the Twin Twenty-Five Lap features for the Lias Tire Latemodels.  The top payout for the race has been growing and is now paying $2000 to win each feature for the Latemodels.  The East American Motorsport Steel Block Limited Latemodels are welcome to run with the Latemodels that night, as they won’t have their own feature.  The program will also include the Stitching Post Strictly Stocks and the Don Huey 4 Cylinder Rice Burners.  If this program should be rained out, the RAIN DATE will be: Sunday August 1. 

            Another addition to your calendar should be the Labor Day Special coming up September 6, 2004.  The Labor Day Special race on Monday night will feature a 30-lap “Super Latemodel” feature paying out $1500 to win and a 410 Sprint feature also paying $1500 to win.  If the Labor Day races are rained out they’re scheduled to be made up on Sunday, September 12, 2004.

JULY 24, 2004

The car count at Marion Center Speedway went up to 100 cars Saturday night for a regular racing program with Kid’s bike races held during the intermission break.  The car count can be credited to the ever popular and growing Don Huey Custom Building and Remodeling 4 Cylinder Rice Burner Division, and the Lias Tire Latemodels preparing for their big show next week with the running of the Twin 25’s – The $2000 to win double features for the Lias Tire Latemodels with the East American Motorsport Steel Block Limited Latemodels running with them.  The other divisions were also well attended:  The Stitching Post Strictly Stock, the East American Motorsport Steel Block Limited Latemodel, and the Pepsi Street Stocks.

           The Pepsi Street Stocks got their shot at the track first Saturday night and several competitors had a shot at the lead.  Harold Sebring led the first part of the feature taking over for Derek Elkin who started on the pole.  John Oaks had a brief stint as leader for a lap, and then Tim White took over for what looked like the duration of the race.  But with 5 or 6 laps remaining, Scott Stein from Cherry Tree found his way around White and took the checkers for the victory.  The Pepsi Street Stock finish went: Scott Stein-1’st, Tim White-2’nd, John Oaks-3’rd, Eric Lingenfelter-4’th, Jeff Taylor-5’th, Don Waltman-6’th, Harold Sebring-7’th, Jerry Bosak-8’th, Jeff Hoffman-9’th and Jeff Sweeney-10’th.  The Pepsi Street Stock heat races were won by Eric Lingenfelter and Tim White. 

             There were some new faces in the Lias Tire Latemodel division, and some familiar names that don’t frequent the track as much as others.  With a shot at winning a possible $4000 next Saturday night at Marion Center Speedway, drivers were coming in to check out the track and the competition.  When the checkered flag dropped on the feature it was the division’s point leader that frequents the track often and is familiar to all, Dave Satterlee, who took home the win.  Dave Satterlee foiled the plans of Chuck Sarver going flag to flag in the lead with a last lap pass to steal away the victory.  Sarver started on the pole with Satterlee a few positions behind him in seventh place.  After a dozen laps were recorded, Satterlee was on the back bumper of Sarver waiting for a chance to pass.  When it came down to “do or die”, Satterlee did it and won the race.  Sarver finished second and one of the ‘new guys’, Dutch Davies came in third.  Fourth went to Rick Strong; Ken Schaltenbrand took fifth, Rick Lias-sixth, Mike McKendree-seventh, Tom Kitchen-eighth, Steve Everhart-ninth, and Bob Sheesley-tenth.  Dave Peterman, Steve Everhart and Mike McKendree each took one of the Lias Tire heat races.

             The Stitching Post Strictly Stock feature was won by Larry Matter from Plumboro.  Matter took the lead away from Dee Deyarmin who had started on the pole in the tenth lap to lead the last five laps of the feature.  Also making their way around Deyarmin in the final laps of the race were Bryan Imler who took second and Tom Baun who finished third, leaving Deyarmin in fourth ahead of Tim Good in fifth place.  Bobby Noel finished in sixth place, Robert James-seventh, Jack Mumau-eighth, Steve McKendree-ninth, and Justin Queen-tenth.  In the Stitching Post Strictly Stock heat races, the winners were Steve McKendree, Robert James, and Don Hickok.

             Randy Reed continued his winning streak in the Don Huey Custom Building and Remodeling 4 Cylinder Rice Burners at Marion Center Speedway.  Jeff Lyons started on the pole for the feature event and led a couple laps until Richie Brown took the lead away from Lyons.  A rash of flat tires on the track changed the looks of the lineup and at the half-way point of the Don Huey sponsored feature,Randy Reed has made his way to the front.  Reed went on in the lead to the checkered flag with Dennis Weisbarber following in second place, and Chad Satterlee back behind the wheel of his car finishing in third.  Dan Adams picked up fourth place, Richie Brown came in fifth.  Rounding out the top ten in order were:  Andrew Satterlee-6’th, Adam Brink-7’th, David Conran-8’th, Matt Smith-9’th, and Wayne Keith-10’th.  The Don Huey Custom Building & Remodeling 4 Cylinder Rice Burners heat races were won by Dennis Weisbarber, Scot Umbaugh, and Randy Reed.

             The closest finish of the evening came in the East American Motorsport Steel Block Limited Latemodel division when Paul Hrubochak came across the finish line beside Ray Weaver in the feature event.  Ray Weaver took the lead early into the race, passing Bruce Walker in the sixth lap. Walker had led the race from his outside pole position-Dale Yeaney had the pole, and was able to keep the lead through several restarts that took Yeaney out of the race.  Walker stayed with Weaver for much of the twenty lap event until some of the rest of the field started to catch up to the leader.  Cheyenne Reed moved up into contention as did Rich Womeldorf, but the efforts of Paul Hrubochak took him to vie for the lead.  Weaver and Hrubochak charged down the front stretch side by side to the checkered flag and Weaver took home the victory.  Another lap or another fifty feet may have made a difference, but the race was over.  Coming in behind Hrubochak for third place was Cheyenne Reed followed by Rich Womeldorf in fourth and Jim Baker took fifth.  Sixth through tenth places went to Bruce Walker, Dave Buchanan, Bob Smith, Shane McMeans, and Howie Tapper.  The East American Motorsport Steel Block Limited Latemodel heat races were won by Larry Hollenbaugh and Shane McMeans.

             Be sure to check out our website: www.marioncenterspeedway.com  for the latest news and results of the Kid’s Bike races that were held at intermission and sponsored by the Home Made Restaurant, Mini-Golf and Soft Serve Ice Cream in Home.  The next bike race event will be the Championships scheduled for August 14, when the Dr. Pepper bicycle provided by the Pepsi Co. will be given away through a drawing conducted after the bike races. 

           Race Fans!!  Next Saturday, July 31, 2004 is the scheduled make up day for the rained out Memorial Day Special-the Twin Twenty-Five Lap features for the Lias Tire Latemodels.  The top payout for the race has been growing and is now paying $2000 to win each feature for the Latemodels.  The East American Motorsport Steel Block Limited Latemodels are welcome to run with the Latemodels that night, as they won’t have their own feature.  The program will also include point racing for the Pepsi Street Stocks, Stitching Post Strictly Stocks and the Don Huey 4 Cylinder Rice Burners.  If this program should be rained out, the RAIN DATE will be: Sunday August 1.

          The Lias Tire Latemodels with the East American Motorsport Steel Block Limited Latemodels mixed in along with them, qualified for the first 25 Lap Feature through heat races.  Five heats were necessary to accommodate all participants in the event.  Winning the first round of heats were Dave Satterlee from Home, David Scott from Garland, Sammy Stile of Chalry, Rick Davis from Home and Steve Everhart from Canoe Creek.  Those that did not qualify through the heats were set up in consolation races, through which they had a second chance to qualify for the $2000 to win feature.  Winning the first two consolation races were Rick Strong from Home and Bernie Whiteford from Hastings.  In between the Latemodel events, the Pepsi Street Stocks, Stitching Post Strictly Stocks and Don Huey Custom Building and Remodeling 4 Cylinder Rice Burners were running heats for their points awarded features.  Then the first of the big races came onto the track-the 25 lap Lias Tire Latemodel Feature #1 paying $2000 to win.   Dave Peterman of Indiana started on the pole, with Tom Kitchen from Clarksburg on the outside-and the grid filled up with others to the 25’Th spot of Mark Stair from Brookville.  Dave Peterman was able to hold the lead for the first 5 laps then Steve Everhart took control of the race.  Everhart led the next 9 laps, but then Sammy Stile took the front position on lap 15.  A caution on lap 17 delayed the race with Dave Satterlee taking offense at David Scott (allegedly) spinning out Satterlee in turn 3.  Satterlee then decided to ram the side of the Scott car thus bringing both drivers out of their cars for a face-to-face discussion of the recent events.  Both cars were given DQ’s for the race after running half the feature in fifth and sixth positions when the caution was thrown.  When the race resumed, Sammy Stile went on to finish in front for the big $2000 payoff with Dave Peterman in second place, Dutch Davies in third, Steve Everhart-fourth, Ron Davies in fifth (these top five were now guaranteed a starting position for the second 25 lap feature).  Rounding out the top ten in order were Bob Close, Jason Witherite, Tom Kitchen, Ken Schaltenbrand and Rick Davis. 

          Taking the evening out of chronological order, we’ll move on to the second half of the twin 25 lap features of the night.  After taking the top five from the first 25-lap feature, there were two more Consolation Races held to pick up more cars for the second 25-lap feature.  Winning the “consys” for the second feature were Bob Close from Eldridge, NY and Ken Schaltenbrand of Sarver.  Steve Everhart started on the pole for the second Lias Tire Latemodel, 25 Lap Feature, with Jason Witherite beside him on the outside pole; once again the field was filled up down to the 25’Th position taken by Clyde Monahan of Holidaysburg.  Everhart maintained the lead for the first 9 laps, and then Ron Davies from Warren took control of the race.  Davies started sixth in the lineup and went on to lead the rest of the remaining laps to win $2000 and the trophy for the second half of the Twin 25 lap features.  Steve Everhart stayed in close pursuit of the leader, but wasn’t able to get back around him to finish second.  Third place went to another Davies; Dutch Davies drove to a third place finish after starting ninth.  Fourth place went to Dave Peterman and Dave Satterlee got fifth.  Rick Davis picked up sixth place, Ken Schaltenbrand took seventh, Jason Witherite was eighth, Dave Blazavich-ninth and tenth went to Tom Kitchen.  There was a lot of action at the top of the hill at Marion Center Speedway, and if you missed this year’s Twin 25’s, be sure to take note of next year’s event and see the Trills on the Hill in 2005 when the Twin 25’s return next season.  Hopefully the competitors that came out for the big payoff will be back to run the regular programs with the track as well.

          Also running for points in the evenings races were the Pepsi Street Stocks, the Stitching Post Strictly Stocks and the Don Huey Custom Building and Remodeling 4 Cylinder Rice Burners.  In the Pepsi Street Stocks, Skip Lindemuth started on the pole with Derek Elkin beside him.  Before the leaders could bring the field back to the flag stand for the first lap, Scott Stein had moved into the lead with Jeff Taylor close behind.  The two drivers continued the rest of the race running first and second until the sixteenth lap when Tim White joined the race for the lead by passing Taylor for second place and closing gin on Stein.  At the checkered flag, Stein won the Pepsi Street Stock Feature with Tim White in second place and Jeff Taylor in third.  Jeff Sweeney picked up fourth place, Don Waltman took fifth.  Rounding out the top ten were John Weaver, Eric Lingenfelter, Shawn Mogle, Skip Lindemuth, and Rich Waltman.  In the Pepsi Street Stock heat races, the winners were John Weaver from Commodore, Scott Alvetro from Reynoldsville and Tim White of Punxsutawney. 

          In the Stitching Post Strictly Stock races, it was Robert James all the way from green to checkers in front of the pack.  James didn’t start on the pole, but was in the second row behind the pole position and quickly took the lead when the leader from the pole, Bruce Large spun out, to go the distance in front.  Jack Mumau came up from tenth place to challenge James for the lead, but didn’t make the pass and settled for second.  Third place went to Tim Good who moved up from fourth place and the fourth place finish went to Dave Williams.  Don Hickok took home fifth and sixth went to Jim Scott, seventh-Steve McKendree, eighth-Bobby Noel, ninth-Tom Baun and tenth went to Brett Kalanavich.  Jack Mumau and Larry Matter were the winners of the Stitching Post Strictly Stock heat races.

          Also running for points Sunday night were the Don Huey Custom Building & Remodeling 4 Cylinder Rice Burners.  The Rice Burners were led first by Dan Adams, then Randy Reed’s nemesis, Scot Umbaugh took the lead with Reed closing in on the front of a field of 33 cars (actually 31 since two didn’t start the feature).  It was quite a scene with the faster cars mixed in amongst the slower cars and a lot of “rubbing” going on to make holes to get through.  Scot Umbaugh was able to maintain his lead and take the checkered flag for the win with Randy Reed finishing second and Andrew Satterlee coming up from twelfth to finish third.  Fourth place went to Doug Hollenbaugh; and fifth was Dan Adams.  Rounding out the top ten in order were:  Jeff Lyons, Brian Lyle, Jim Lockart, Adam Brink, and Cliff Laugherd.  Four heats of Don Huey 4 Cylinders were held and they were won by Randy Reed, Cliff Laugherd, Chad Satterlee, and Virgil Small. 

          Saturday, August 7, 2004 will be another full racing program for the five divisions with an increased purse for the East American Motorsport Steel Block Limited Latemodels.  The other divisions will be running for points as the points season starts its downhill run for the season. 

          Looking further ahead on the schedule; kids don’t forget about the Season Championship Bike Races scheduled for August 14, with the drawing for the Dr. Pepper bicycle to take place from tickets the kids have received for participating in the bike races this season.  The bike was donated by the Pepsi Co. and the races were sponsored in part this season by the Home Made Restaurant, Soft Serve Ice Cream and Mini-Golf in Home, PA.  In the near future for the cars, the Season Championships are scheduled for Saturday August 28 and the Super Latemodel 30 lap feature paying $1500 to win and the 410 Sprints also going for the $1500 to win is scheduled for Labor Day, Monday, September 6, 2004 with the rain date set for Sunday, September 12, 2004.
