KELLNER & RAIN WIN AT GRANDVIEW! (Brent Smith photo)


BECHTELSVILLE, PA May 6, 2012 . . . Before the rains came wiping out the final two racing features ( NASCAR 358 Modifieds and Sportsman) Mike Kellner was able to wheel his own PowerWashers/Mary Kay No. 57 to victory in the 20-lap Mobil 1 Late Model feature race at Grandview Speedway on Saturday night.
The NASCAR 358 Modifieds were coming out for their 30-lap feature when an unexpected rain started to fall. Officials tried waiting for the rain to stop but after at least a 30-minute wait the balance of the show was postponed.
At least one of the postponed features will be included as part of the Whelen Engineering Night on Saturday, May 12th at 7:30 p.m. The NASCAR 358 Modifieds, Late Models and Sportsman will run a full series of qualifying events along with their features making for at least a four feature show.
Doug Walton was the early leader in the 20-lapper for Late Models with Mike Kellner charging to the front on the sixth circuit
Chuck Schutz spun in the first turn with six laps completed but was able to continue. The five time champion was able to finish eighth in the feature race.
At the 10 lap marker Kellner and Ron Kline had quite a battle going on and for the next few laps swap positions back and forth. However on the 14th lap Kellner took charge and held on to the top spot right to the checkered flag picking up $900 for his second win of the season. The winnings included a $100 bonus from TP Trailers of Limerick.
Second spot went to Kline followed by Sean Merkel, Andy Ressler and Danny Snyder.
