9.12.15 Grandview Speedway Results

BECHTELSVILLE, PA September 12, 2015 . . . Ending a victory drought
of over two seasons in, Craig Whitmoyer, finally, found the way to Victory Lane,
once again, Friday evening at Grandview Speedway, in the second annual Race of
Champions Freedom 38?er for the Race of Champions Sportsman division. For the
Hamburg, PA resident, it was his first win at the Bechtelsville track since July
20, 2013.

In a companion 25-lap main event for the TSRS 305 Sprint Cars, Dave Brown was the
winner after going out in front just prior to halfway and, easily, racing away

part of that first lap tangle, began to make his way through the competition. By
lap 18 the Sinking Spring, PA racer was up to sixth. After 19 circuits he was
fifth and after 21 tours, Brightbill had climbed into
fourth.

With 24 down, Brightbill was now running third behind Arnold, with Whitmoyer a full

On lap 30, Brightbill caught Arnold, but the second-generation driver had his problems
trying to find a way around Arnold. On lap 33, Brightbill went high, through
