REPEAT WINNERS FIND HESSTON VICTORY LANE
For immediate release August 30, 2008
HESSTON , PA – Lias Tire and the American Racer was the sponsor of the racing action on Saturday night at Hesston Speedway with Derek Byler winning the George’s Used Cars Limited Late Model feature, Khi Swanger picked up the street stock feature and Darin Desch won the Walters Auto Wrecking and Salvage Hobby Stocks. The American Outlaws and four cylinders were both added attractions on the schedule Bill Brown Jr. winner the America Outlaw feature and Dave Leidy winner the four cylinder main.
The limited late models hit the speedway with Rance Garlock and Derek Byler on the front row. Byler took the lead and set the pace with Garlock in second and Tim Smith Jr. in third. The top three were pulling away from the field while Jack Pencil in the Mike Duck #73 pulled into the fourth position and made it a four car race.
The battle was tight at the front of the field, with Byler continuing to set the pace and Garlock trying to hold off Smith, but Smith managed to get the runner up spot on lap eight and he never relinquished that position. At the finish it was Byler getting the win over Smith, Garlock, Pencil and Brad Kling. Rance Garlock, Derek Byler and Barry Welch won the heats.
The street stock feature was a barn burner from the initial waving of the green
flag until the waving of the checkered. The front row saw Cris Edwards Jr. and Jesse
Snyder with Edwards taking the lead and setting the pace for three laps, but he had Khi
Swanger in second for those three laps when Swanger took the lead and Bill Henney
went to the outside and moved to second, dropping Edwards to third. Henney then took
the lead on lap nine and Swanger fought back, as the duo ran side-by-side basically for
the remainder of the feature. A caution on lap 12 regrouped the field, with Henney still
setting the pace, bun on lap 13 Swanger got the lead back, but Henney was determined to
win the race, and he too regained the lead a lap later on lap 14, but once again Swanger
took the lead exiting the fourth turn and took the win. Henney, Edwards, Chad Parks and
Dave Brown completed the top five. Heat wins went to Wayne Irvin and Bill Henney.
Kyle Grove and Darin Desch led the hobby field to the start with Desch taking the
lead and setting the pace for the first two laps before Gary Morder snapped an axle and
barrel rolled violently in the third turn. Morder was not hurt, but he was out of action for
the night. As he led Tyler Ritchey moved into second and then to the lead with the field
getting the half-way flags. Ritchey went on to cross the line first, but was running an
illegal engine and was disqualified giving Desch the win. The top five were: Desch, Joe
Dearmitt, Travis Waite, Lou Wayann and Chad Gambol. Lopu Wayann, Joe Dearmitt
and Carl Snare won the heat races.
The American Outlaws were making their second appearance of the season with
Tommy Crummitt and Kevin Palmer on the front row. Palmer took the lead and with Bill
Brown Jr. moving into second early on. As the race continued the Brown took the lead
from Palmer on the sixth lap and went on to win uncontested. The top five were: Brown,
Palmer, Brooks Coleman, Crummitt and Hunter Nester. Heat wins went to Brian Diehl
and Brooks Coleman won the heats.
Steve Haines Jr. and Chris Semple brought the four cylinders to the start with
Dave Leidy coming from fourth and leading the race the rest of the way. As he led first it
was Semple in second and the Haines, but he spun to slow the race on lap five. This gave
Ed Williamson the runner up spot and he dropped out on lap nine giving second Matt
Williamson and he maintained that position the rest of the way. The top five were: Leidy,
Matt Williamson, Haines, Phil Boden and Ron Beam. The heats were won by Dave Leidy
and Ed Williamson.
