Anderson Collects First Career Win @ Path Valley Speedway
By Judy McGee Timmons
Dylan Anderson has been racing for five years but collected his first career Feature win @ P.V.S. Saturday night in the Macri Concrete 600 Sprint Division. Anderson started on the pole position beside Jason Sechrist; pulling ahead on green with Nathan Hauck & Jim Young in the top four. Anderson started to pull away from his competitors but Young came through to pass Hauck & Sechrist to be in second position by the third lap. Courtney Wolf & Trent Yoder brought out the first caution when Trent’s racer stopped on the backstretch on lap 7. On the restart Wolfs #10 started to release smoke putting her racer off the track & then to the pits. The restart with Anderson, Young, Sechrist ,Randy Kunkle, & Hauck holding the top five spots. The next 11 laps brought some individual fender benders & a lost tire for the 600 sprint drivers putting Logan Spahr, Shjon Dove, Dexter Strauser & Jason Sechrist into the DNF file. { Sechrist was the 3rd place runner in the feature event at the time.} Anderson was looking at a green to checkered win but one more delay would give Young another chance to pull to the top. The final caution involved Jeremy Harshman, Kelsey Heiney, Sam Moyer & Travis Keiser putting all of their racers out with one lap remaining. Anderson led the field to the final green & then to the checkered ; followed by Kunkle . Houck, Smith, & Mason Beinhower. Dylan Anderson clocked the best lap time with 11.017.
The thundering roar of the Late Model Division came to a pre-race halt when polesitter Randy Schaeffer & 6th place starter Ryan Jacoby made contact coming out of turn 3 before green. Chad Desmett’s #26 came to a stop on the front stretch also putting him on the DNS List. The double file racers all moved forward in placement putting Randy Burkholder & Jennae Piper in pole position. Burkholder took the lead on green, Piper in second for two laps till Jakob Piper took the spot. The 72B of Shyann Smith was running fourth with, Levi Ardery & Chaz Buchinsky going wheel to wheel behind her. Front runner Burkholder held off the advances of Jakob Piper while Chaz Buchinsky brought her #56R to 3rd place by the second lap. Burkholder started to pull away from Piper by lap 6 & held the lead till #4 of John Moser got sideways in turn 2. The restart top 5 was Burkholder, Piper, Buchinsky , Devin Frey & Shyann Smith. Burkholder held on to the top & gained space as Piper, Buchinsky, & Frey were going 3 abreast behind him to gain 2nd spot. As the final laps approached the competition became more intense & the fans were going wild. The entire top ten were 2 & 3 abreast in the turns. Piper & Frey were bidding for 2nd, then Buchinsky added to the mix while Sean Merkel put the squeeze on Shyann Smith. As the checkered approached, Piper & Frey closed the gap between them & the leader but Burkholder held strong & took the win. Piper, Frey , Buchinsky, & Smith came across for the top five. As the flag waved, the #38 of Carl Biddle got tangled in a collision giving him a 11th place finish. In the winner’s circle, Burkholder let the fans know he had just won the race with no power steering; he had lost it by the time he started the race. He said it was getting pretty rough! Glad his arms held out!! The late model best lap time went to Devin Frey at 11.757.
Tyler Stine and David Moore brought the 4 cylinder Strictly Stock to the green but an immediate caution came out for the racers of David Shore & Dustin Stine, who went to the pits. The restart put Tyler Stine & Travis Semple, Chris Anderson, Rusty Garlock, Kala Varner & Justin Williamson at the top. At the show of green, Stine, Semple and Anderson were in a three way battle & positions shifted. Stine fell to third on lap 3 as Semple pulled to the lead; only briefly, as Chris Anderson made his move to overtake the lead. Justin Williamson got by Stine to claim third, but lost it when he realized he had a flat tire. Also entering the pits was Fred Rumming’s racer when his hood came unlatched coming out of turn three. Williamson returned to the rear of the field as the restart got Anderson, Semple, & Rusty Garlock into the top 3 spots. These positions were held till lap 10 when the #80, Kala Varner, drifted to a stop before exiting to the pits. Tyler Stine & Williamson lined behind the 3 top runners as the green waved & immediately encountered lapped traffic as Anderson drove away from the remainder of the field. The #33 of Jimmy Moyer was moving up & on lap 13 passed Williamson for fifth. Anderson kept the hammer down taking the checkered ahead of Semple, Garlock, Stine & Jimmy Moyer. Winner Chris Anderson had the best lap time with a 13.929.

During their 20 lap run they encountered lapped traffic by lap 6 & a red flag for the #82 of Todd Love. Love’s racer flipped on it’s side as he was approaching turn three, causing major damage to the side of the car and the wing. The crowd waited for medical personal to update but broke into cheers when Love got himself out of the car. The #82 was retired to the pits for the evening. The restart put Cory Myers in the lead followed by Zachary Glass, Sean McAndrew, Craig Myers, Levi Peck ,Tyler Brown and Bradyn Kuhn.

In Thunder car action, Nicholas Barthalow & Cheyenne Ingram were on the pole & at the wave of green they were joined in the middle by the #22 of Cameron Defenderfer as he claimed second place. Behind them was an accident about to happen as 7 cars were door to door, front to back, side by side, escorting each other around the oval. On lap 5, Austin Betz got his #97 into the infield, returned to the rear then off by lap 10. The restart had Barthalow at first, where he remained in control for 7 laps until Defenderfer put his #22 past him, with Cheyenne Ingram pulling into third. Justin Bucher came from an eighth starting spot to pull into fourth, as the original 7 car competitors started to disband. At midrace Defenderfer was in front on a restart with Barthalow. Bucher, Rasp, Ingram, Hahn, Bard & Sales behind him. Defenderfer gained a steady, extended lead as the drivers behind him were getting anxious as the checkered approached. Rival, Barthalow, exited the track with one lap to go from his second position, bringing Kevin Bard up to 2nd, then Bucher, Sales, & Rasp for the final 5. Douglas Sales had the fastest lap time with 14.60
