KEVIN HARTNETT WIN THIRD MODIFIED FEATURE OF 2014… CLARK, STONE, MILLS, UNDERWOOD, AND MABY ALSO WIN

Susquehanna, PA…The annual Fourth of July Spectacular at Penn Can Speedway lived up to its name both in the sky and on the track. The Vibrant Thunder Fireworks Co lit up the sky with the area’s largest aerial display while the racing was just as exciting on Warner’s Gas Service Night. Kevin Hartnett of Barto, PA put his HigFab modified in Victory Lane for the third time this season in front of another large holiday crowd. Newcomer Cody Clark, a Fonda Speedway regular, used his Xcel modified experience at Penn Can to win the 602 sportsman race. The closely contested street stock division had another nail biter with Ryan Stone of Hallstead holding of Steve Deinhardt of Deposit, New York. Ted Mills Jr repeated in the factory stocks with Kenny Underwood returning to the Victory Lane in the four cylinders. Local favorite Kamdin Maby of Susquehanna backed up his win last week with a strong effort winning his first ever tour race for the Xcel 600 modifieds.

After two first lap cautions, Steve Babicek jumped from his third starting position to take the early lead in the modified thirty lap feature event. Babicek’s luck soured on the third circuit as he pulled to the infield with mechanical problems handing the lead over to Kevin Hartnett with Frank Porreca, Mike Nagel, and Nick Rochinski in tow. Much of the early race action had the cars of Alan Rudalavage, Adam MacGeorge, Joey Grammes, Bob Trapper, and Mike Schane all working their way through the field. Hartnett benefitted from a long green twenty seven lap green flag run putting his car over a straight away head of the field. Rookie Frank Porreca was having his best modified feature trying to chase down the leader lap after lap in the second position with Nagel, Rochinski, and last week’s feature winner Brian Malcolm chasing. The final caution came out on lap twenty night when the second place running Porrecan came up on a spinning lapped car and had nowhere to spin to avoid contact ending his great run. On the restart Hartnett pulled away winning for the third time this season. Nagel, Rochinski, Malcolm, and Joey Colsten rounded out the top five.

The 602 sportsman feature was a battle between four cars for the entire twenty lap distance. Paul Rooney and Dusty Barton set the early pace with Randy Gates and newcomer Cody Clark on their bumpers. With Rooney leading Barton, Clark took to the outside of the track and powered his way into the top spot on lap twelve. Clark held off challenges lap after lap from Barton, Rooney, and Gates. For Clark it was his first ever start in a sportsman at Penn Can and he came home with the win followed by Barton, Gates, and Rooney.

The street stock feature was again another thrilling side by side twenty lap feature event. Randy Fox took the early lead with Ryan Stone, Shane Wolf, and Steve Deinhardt following. A mid race caution regrouped the field with Stone leading Deinhardt, Wolf, and Fox. When the green came back out the three cars of Stone Deinhardt, and Wolf races the last half of the race side by side or nose to tail never touching. Stone held off Deinhardt by less than a car length with Wolf not too far back. Fox, Ray Linquist, and Butch Green followed acroos the line.

Ted Mills Jr took off to the early lead in the fifteen lap factory stock feature and never looked back. The entire race ran without a caution with Mills winning for the third time this year. Kris Shimer, Nathan Hill, Gary Cleveland, and,Ned Fitch finished out the top five.

In the four cylinder main event Kenny Underwood worked hard all race long holding off Mike Robinson, Dylan Robinson, Don Doster Jr, and Nick Kennedy for his second win of the 2014 season.

A large group of Xcel modifieds signed into the pits for their first series tour race of the year at the speedway. Local favorite Kamdin Maby backed up his win of the previous week pulling into Victory Lane in his first ever tour victory. Michael Burrows, Will Eastman, Richie Hitzler, RJ Smith, and, Aaron Bowes rounded out the top five.

PENN NOTES: Vibrant Thunder Fireworks lit up the sky with a spectacular display of fireworks for the standing room only crowd that came out on the holiday event. Twin twenties for the modifieds are on the schedule next Friday. Once again the track stayed tacky and smooth over the entire night of racing. 602 sportsman winner Cody Clark used his Xcel 600 experience at Penn Can last season to good use as he won for the first time out in a sportsman. Clark plans to return to Penn can when his schedule permits but will be in the field for the two GRIT Series events later this season.
