CINDY ROWE PENNSYLVANIA SPRINT SPEED WEEK GETS READY TO ROLL ON JUNE 30
Stops set for Lincoln, Bedford, Grandview, Hagerstown, Port Royal,
Williams Grove & Selinsgrove
The Cindy Rowe Auto Glass Pennsylvania Sprint Car Speed Week will
include eight races in nine days, beginning with the Kevin Gobrecht
Memorial Race at the Lincoln Speedway, near Hanover, on Saturday June
30. This year's Speed week opener will offer $10,000 to the winner of
the 30 lap feature event. Lance Dewease won last year's Gobrecht
Memorial, while Doug Esh won a second Speed week event at Lincoln in
2006. Fred Rahmer leads all drivers with six Speed Week wins at Lincoln.
The series will move to the Bedford Fairgrounds on Sunday July 1st. Last
year Bedford's inaugural Speed Week event fell victim to rain, but the
historic Fairgrounds oval will try again in 2007 to host a Speed Week
event. The 30 lap feature at Bedford will offer $5000 to the winner. A
rain date of Monday July 2 is in effect.
On Tuesday July 3 the Cindy Rowe series moves on to the Grandview
Speedway, in Bechtelsville, PA. The Grandview event is part of the NAPA
Auto Parts Thunder on the Hill Racing Series and will be a 35 lap
feature with $5000 on the line for the winner. Last year's Speed week
event at Grandview was rained out, but Fred Rahmer also leads all
drivers with four Speed Week wins on the hill. Billy Pauch is the all
time sprint car feature winner at Grandview Speedway with eleven feature
wins. Joining the 410 Sprints will be the NASCAR 358 Modifieds
competing in a series of heat races and a 25 lap feature event. Gates
open at 5 PM with race time set for 7:30 PM.
Wednesday July 4, Speed week moves south of the boarder to the
Hagerstown (MD) Speedway. Again the standard format will include a 30
lap feature event with $5000 to the winner. Speed Week returned to
Hagerstown last year after a ten year absence, and Lance Dewease scored
the win. Dewease has won two of the four Speed Week events held at
Hagerstown.
A major change in the Speed Week schedule will find the teams moving to
the Port Royal Fairgrounds for the Thursday July 5 event. The first of
two Speed week events for Port Royal will include a 30 lap feature event
paying $5000 to the winner. Last year Fred Rahmer finally won a Speed
week event at the Port. Port Royal's all-time win leader Keith Kauffman
also leads in Speed Week wins there with three.
Friday July 6 finds Speed week moving to the famed Williams Grove
Speedway for the Mitch Smith Memorial event. Long considered the "Crown
Jewel" of Speed Week, the Grove event will offer $10,000 to win the 30
lap feature event. In last year's event, Jeff Shepard claimed the
victory. In a familiar theme, Fred Rahmer leads the way in Speed Week
wins at the Grove, with four.
It's back to Port Royal on Saturday July 7, but this time the 30 lap
feature will offer $7000 to the race winner.
The 17th Annual Cindy Rowe Pennsylvania Sprint Car Speed Week will
conclude on Sunday July 8 at the Selinsgrove Speedway. The Jan Opperman
Memorial event at Selinsgrove will go 30 laps with $5000 to the winner.
Last year Doug Esh scored his first career Selinsgrove win in the Speed
Week show.
Over it's first 16 years, the Cindy Rowe Pennsylvania Sprint Car Speed
Week has completed 105 races at 11 different Speedways. Fred Rahmer has
been the most prolific driver during Speed week, with 28 wins and 10
Speed week titles. Lance Dewease owns three Speed Week crowns, and 16
victories. Greg Hodnett has 14 wins and one series title. Other series
