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.
