5.31.19 Trail Way Speedway Results
Hanover, Pa. (5/31/19) – David Holbrook took over the season-long points lead by scoring his first win of the year in the 25-lap Hoosier Tire Mid-Atlantic 358 Sprint Car feature at Trail-Way Speedway Friday night.
“I figured I gotta put my big boy panties on or he’s going to go around us,” said Holbrook upon exiting the Mike Paris-owned, Turning Stone Resort & Casino/SCC Trucking #77 in victory lane.
The driver Holbrook was focused on was none other than Westminster’s Steve Owings. A flat tire on Dylan Norris’ #44 sprint car brought out a lap 19 caution, lining up Owings inches behind Holbrook for the restart.
Holbrook maintained his lead with Owings lurking through the closing laps. Then with one lap to go, Owings lost control of his sprinter and spun to a stop in turn two, bringing out the final caution flag.
“I tried to run it harder and harder and harder and I didn’t see him,” Holbrook continued, ‘I hate to see him spin out like that but it was a pretty good race.”
Outside polesitter, Cody Fletcher, led the initial nine laps, until spinning and coming to a stop in turn four.
“As a driver you can pick up on that stuff a little bit,” Holbrook said, “I saw the wheels going further and further to the right and I thought, I gotta gas it or I’m just going to hit him. Luckily I got off the gas at the right time and got on by and we got on with the program.”
Fletcher recovered from the early race spin, making his way into the top four with 10 laps remaining.
At that time, Holbrook, Norris, Owings and Fletcher began to weave their way through lapped traffic. Holbrook admitted that’s exactly what he wanted to see.
“I was hoping for lap traffic because it kind of makes it a little harder for those other guys,” Holbrook said. “You have to pick and choose, and with lap cars you can’t be patient with them. You kind of have to move them or hope they get out of the way. I was hitting lap cars just perfect with Dylan behind me and I saw the #35 (Owings) and he does the same things; he’ll just move them or do what he’s gotta do.”
Norris’ eventual flat tire and Owings’ last lap caution dramatically changed the overall top five. Holbrook took the checkered flag with a 1.166 second lead over Fletcher. Wyatt Hinkle finished third followed by Big Mike’s Crabhouse Hard Charger, Mike Bittinger, and Joe Trone Jr.
Heat winners were Holbrook and Owings.
Will Walls dominated the 20-lap Street Stock feature by starting on the pole and leading every lap, en route to his second win of 2019 at Trail-Way Speedway.
“It should’ve been three in a row last week,” Walls said in victory lane. “I passed Gallagher, the caution came out and I lost power steering. I’m not built to drive one of these without power steering, so it didn’t work out too good.”
Walls was followed by Jamie Zentmyer, who made the pass on Danny Beard for the runner-up spot on the 15th lap. Danny Beard finished third followed by son Aaron Beard and rookie driver Dylan Welsh completing the top five.
Walls and Gallagher were heat winners.
York’s Joe Long Jr. started outside polesitter, Brian Marriott, jumped to an immediate lead and never looked back. The win marked Long’s sixth career 270 Micro Sprint victory at Trail-Way Speedway.
Long finished in front of a hard charging Brent Bull by .535 seconds, however Bull was docked two positions for jumping a previous start. Steven Cox and Chad Myers were credited with second and third, giving Bull a fourth place finish. Tyler Brown completed the top five.
Hellam’s Keera Dupler started last in the 19-car field and raced her way to a ninth place finish claiming the Donahue Motorsports Hard Charger award.
Bull and Zachary Glass were heat race winners.
Limited Stock all-time race winner, Matt Chronister, claimed his first win of 2019 at Trail-Way Speedway, after inheriting the lead on lap 5 when leader Terry Hartlaub brought out the caution.
Chronister would hold on for this 42nd career victory and was followed by Cody Klinedinst, Justin Williamson, Robbie Carroll and Jason Chronister.
Heat wins went to Carroll, Williamson and Matt Chronister.
