Coatesville, PA – August 6, 2016 –
With the weather on the iffy side again the G & H Motorsports team
loaded the NASCAR BRC Dirt Late Model #46 into the trailer and headed to
Grandview Speedway in Bechtelsville PA. Just as the team was ready to
unload the car at the track for the Low Down and Dirty Meet and Greet a
rain shower passed over. By the time the shower was over there was no
time for Dan to take the car to the front gate but he did walk down, met
some fans, and was interviewed by “Whippy” of the LD&D crew.
Heat Race
The
races were delayed by another rain shower which made the track very wet
and “heavy.” When the racing did get underway Dan started 4th
in the second 8 lap heat race. The green flag flew and the front two
cars of #3 Ron Kline and #22 Joe ”Geezer” Fanelli bobbled just slightly
as Dan checked up which allowed the #X4 of Lou Egrie Sr. to get by.
Everything got straightened out just as quickly and the race went green
the entire 8 laps as Dan finished 5th in the event.
Team Fixes Car
With
the track so heavy there was a lot of mud on the car so the crew took
the time to remove as much as they could and get the car ready for the
BRC 30 Lap Feature.
Feature Event
The Bernheisel Race Components 30 Lap Feature had Dan starting in the 6th position. The green came out and Dan jumped to the 3rd
spot with one lap completed by going to the outside and having a good
battle with Bryon Sipe #33s. The next lap saw Sipe in front of Dan, on
lap 4 the second running #19 Drew Weisser spun in turn 4 to bring out
the caution and put Dan back in 3rd behind Sipe and pole
starter Kline. The race went green for 2 laps then the red was displayed
for #00 Eric Hoch who hit the wall hard coming out of turn 2. Hoch was
able to get out of the car and walk to the ambulance but was taken to
the hospital for observations. The green came back out and the race
stayed green for many laps as Dan and #118 Sean Merkel put on a great
show for everyone as they ran side by side for about 14 laps before
Merkel was able to get by and take 3rd from Dan. Many time Late Model Champion Chuck Schutz #1 was able to get by Dan for 4th
after a several lap battle as the caution came out with 4 laps left. The
caution was not what Dan needed as his tires cooled down too much and
he tried to hold off last week’s feature winner Brian Shuey #177 who
nipped Dan at the checker to have Dan finish 6th. Dan moved into 5th in drivers points with just 4 races left in the season.
Congratulations
Ron Kline #3 picked up his 1st
win of the season as he has not been a weekly competitor and picked up a
ride in the T & W Racing car. Jeff Strunk #126 got his 2nd of the year in the T.P. Trailers Modifieds and Brian Papiez #99x drove to his 3rd Sportsman Feature win of 2016.
Get Well
#00
Eric Hoch who hit the backstretch wall extremely hard and was able to
walk away from the accident but we are sure he is going to be sore.
After being checked out at the hospital, he was cleared to go home.
Welcome To The Races!
In
attendance for the first time to Grandview Speedway were staff from
SquireSide CAFÉ. Jerry Leaman and his wife were at Grandview four years
ago but his staff made their first trip to the famed dirt track in
Bechteslville. Dan and the G & H Motorsports team were glad that
they were able to be there to cheer on the SqurieSide CAFÉ #46!
