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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

Stocks and the Stitching Post Strictly Stocks as well as the Don Huey $
Cylinders may also be running that night with the Limited Lates.

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

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

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

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

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

scheduled make up day for the rained out Memorial Day Special-the Twin

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.

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.

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.
Marion Center Speedway would like to thank
the following special sponsors for the $2000 to win events: the Pepsi Co.,
