Taylor Farlling of Carlisle held off three-time winner Andrew Yoder of Middleburg for his first career Selinsgrove win in the 20-lap limited late model feature.
Levi Vial of Bloomsburg won his third 12-lap roadrunner race by just inches over five-time winner Jake Jones of Hunlock Creek.
Selinsgrove Speedway returns to racing action at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 27, featuring The Acme Companies 42nd Annual Jack Gunn Memorial for 410 sprint cars paying $5,000 to win plus PASS 305 sprint cars and limited late models. Track gates open at 5 p.m. There will be no racing on the half-mile track on Saturday, Aug. 20.
Andrew Yoder started the super late model feature in the second position and won the battle for the early lead into turn one over polesitter Deshawn Gingerich. Dylan Yoder started fourth and passed Gingerich for second on lap four.
On the fifth circuit, D. Yoder made the winning pass when A. Yoder drifted high in turn four and made contact with the wall. At the same time fifth-place starter Jim Bernheisel drove into the second position.
At the midway point of the race, an intense battle for second unfolded between Bernheisel, Gingerich and A. Yoder as D. Yoder continued to stretch his lead.
D. Yoder took the checkered flag by 4.9 seconds over J. Bernheisel, A. Yoder, ninth-place starter Dan Stone, and Gingerich.
Polesitter Garrett Bard wired the field for the win in the 305 sprint car feature but not without some challenges during the race. Second-place starter Logan Spahr chased Bard through traffic for the entire distance.
At the halfway point, Bard was leading Spahr, sixth-place starter Doug Dodson, eighth-place starter Ken Duke, and fourth-place starter Dustin Young.
With one lap to go the caution flag regrouped the field for a chase to the checkered flag. Bard held off the field to post a .94 of a second victory over Spahr, Dodson, Duke, and Young.
On the third attempt to start the limited late model feature, outside front row starter Taylor Farlling powered into the lead and was chased by third-place starter Daulton Bigler for the first seven laps before fifth-place starter Andrew Yoder advanced to second.
At the halfway point, Farlling began to encounter slower traffic as A. Yoder closed the gap. On a lap 15 restart, A. Yoder pulled ahead of Farlling in the turns only to have Farlling race back underneath to maintain the front spot.
At the checkered flag, Farlling was victorious by just 1.27 seconds over A. Yoder, snapping his three-race winning streak. Devin Hart, Trent Brenneman and Shaun Lawton rounded out the top five.
In the roadrunner feature, front row starter Levi Vial pulled into the early lead with fourth-place starter Keith Bissinger in tow. Leading feature winner Jake Jones started the race in the third position and drove by Bissinger for second on the third lap.
For the rest of the distance, Jones chased Vial at the front of the pack. On the final lap, Jones made a last-ditch effort to pass Vial for the lead and win on the inside racing off turn four but came up short by inches at the finish line.
Bissinger settled for third with points leader Nate Romig and Bob Bussey rounding out the top
five.
