Bechtelsville
PA-During this past week’s course, most area weather prognosticators
were reporting rain for Sunday. Although Mother Nature forced a flexible
early muscle, all of the races were completed at Grandview Speedway as
scheduled.
Enduro
winners included: Scott Riggleman of Manchester NJ (Big Car 75-laps),
Rob Pyle of Donaldson (Small Car 75-laps), John Bilofsky of Allentown
(Junkyard 50-laps), and Seth Reichert of New Ringgold (Mechanics
20-laps). Blast from the past vintage stock car 20-lap main event
winners were: Wes Cassel of Boyertown and Doug Spepanchuk of
Hackettstown NJ. The Outlaw 4 X 4 truck series was also on hand with a
card of racing events on the oval track.
Bob
Wink started outside pole in the Big Car Enduro and dominated the
race’s opening half. The veteran endurance racer led the opening 48-laps
before the closely running duo of Riggleman and Tim Pauch took command.
Both experienced Garden State based racers put on a tremendous battle
for the crowd and the eventual win went Riggleman, who incidentally
finished sixth the previous night in a Factory Stock feature at the
paved Wall Stadium (NJ) Speedway. It was Riggleman’s second ever win at
Grandview and the 88th of his illustrious career.
Pauch,
the defending tour champion and opening race winner, drove his familiar
#5 machine to a fine runner-up finish. After leading much of the event,
Wink settled into third and finished there. Former champion Travis
Guyer nailed down a fourth while former Late Model driver at the
speedway Chuck Keely registered a fifth place effort. The entire top
five finished on the lead lap.
In
the Small Car Enduro, Pyle’s key to victory was getting to the lead
early. Pyle started from the third spot by luck of the draw and set a
blistering pace early. Despite top notch equipment rounding out the top
five, Pyle was able to gain the early advantage and separate himself
from the rest of the field. Pyle, who returned to the driver’s seat
after some time away, was driving a Phil Levering prepared #11x machine.
It was Pyle’s third career Grandview Enduro win and first of the season
in his initial start to 2019.
Also
making his first start of the season, Chris Rose, began from fourth and
finished in the second spot for a career best at Grandview. James Yons
followed his strong fourth place effort on opening day with an
impressive finish of third in this week’s race. Linsey Rummel was the
final car finishing on the lead lap with a fourth place result. Cody
Anderson piloted the Levering racing-93 to a fifth after starting from
thirteenth.
In
the 50-lap Junkyard race, Bilofsky drew the seventh place starting
spot. He worked his way to the front and stormed to his second win in
two races. Bilofsky’s win streak actually goes back to 2018 when he won
all four races held for the class last year. It was his eighth career
win in the Junkyard class which by far makes him the all-time winner in
the division.
Linsey
Rummel enjoyed another top five finish on the afternoon finishing
second with John Rose earning the third spot. Cody Anderson, who led
early, finished fourth ahead of a first starting Dylan Schantz.
The
mechanics race was dominated by teenaged racer Seth Reichert who led
from wire to wire. Seth, who was driving his uncle Chris’ #1c, won by a
comfortable margin.
Wes
Cassel competed at various tracks back in the 1970s with his white #28c
Modified. This season Wes has returned back behind the wheel in a car
that appears very similar to his racing days some four decades ago.
After a hard fought battle Cassel ended up in victory lane for the first
time this season. Meanwhile Doug Stepanchuk drove to his second win of
the season in the Phillips Motorsports #55 in the quicker Vintage
Modified division. Blast from the Past returns to Grandview this
Saturday night for a points show beginning at 7PM.
Thus
far, Outlaw Enduro Series races have been completed without
interruption from Mother Nature, in comparison to the last couple of
seasons where unseasonable weather had been victorious. The next race is
scheduled for Sunday May 19th
with the same classes of cars. The 4X4 trucks are scheduled to compete
on the new obstacle course which is located on part of the track and the
infield.
