Cory Reinhard went two for two in the Sprint class taking his second win of the young season.  Reinhard looks to be a strong contender this season for the Sprint Championship.  Cory won 5 segments and the Feature win was his fifth overall already this season on the circuit. Runner-up was Jim LeVan who won his first 5 segments and looked like an early winner before the outer lanes slowed him a bit.  The defending Sprint Point Champion was just a little more than 1 lap behind the winner.  Third spot went to Tom Wenner in one of his best runs at Randy’s Raceway.  The Blandon racer won 4 segments and looked impressive in his #7 sprinter.  [Read more…]

Close racing  as Top 5 were separated by less than 3 laps. Great run by Adam Z with a strong 3rd place run. Good field as 17 racers were in the pit area. Racing goes back to the Tri-Oval next week as NASCAR and IROC racing returns.

Cory Reinhard won the Cup event and his Dad Toby won the IROC event as the action moved over to the Tricky Tri-Oval.  A field of 18 racers was on hand for the double show and a very orderly event was spun off in a short time. For Cory Reinhard this was his third feature win overall this season already, and his first in the NASCAR class.  It was his second career win in NASCAR after winning 4 segments.  The young Boyertown racer was very impressive winning tough segments over veteran Jim LeVan in the middle lanes.  Second spot went to Mark Williams who was the Opening Night winner.  Williams took 4 segment wins as well in his #50 racer.  Third spot went to Jim LeVan who won three segments in his Orange #40.  Fourth was Randy Haydt (AKA Mr NASCAR) who won a single segment on lane 5.  Rounding out the top five was Brian Sponagle who won 4 segments on the evening.  [Read more…]

NASACR racing returns to the Tri-Oval next week along with a IROC show.

The third regular season event of this year was spun off as the Sprints ran the opener 25 lap event.  Cory Reinhard scored a very impressive win in his team TCS racer with a nearly perfect score of 199.31.  Winning 6 segments and shaking off a lane 3 draw the Boyertown Grad won the Opener making him the third different winner in three Tuesday night races.  Cory also had a very low count of 5 falloffs in almost 200 laps.  Veteran Mark Williams was second winner of 4 segments on the evening.  Third spot went to Randy Haydt who won 1 segment.  Coming home fourth was Tom Wenner who has a pair of top tens already this young season.  The Blandon racer has certainly upped his game.  Tom won 4 segments.  Rounding out the top five was former Sprint Champ Scott Bender.

Sprint Saga-  Savvy Cunnius had some great runs in her pink Sprinter  scoring 2 segment wins.  17 racers in the field this week including Brian Vanbuskirk who made his first start of the season.

It was the season opener for the Modifieds Tuesday night at Randy’s Raceway and Scott Bender scored 1 segment win and had all lead lap finishes to post a close win. TCS Racing showed it will be a force all season as Savannah Cunnius scored 3 segment wins turning in a career best 2nd place finish. Randy Haydt  had a fast “Chucky” machine as he scored 3 segment wins finishing 3rd. A “TORRID” battle for the 4th spot, a 3 way tie including Cory Reinhard, Toby Reinhard and Brian “ Spoons “ Sponagle. Cory getting credit for the 4th spot with 5 segment wins. Toby and Spoons tied with one segment win each so the tie breaker then goes to fall offs. Toby takes 5th with 9 fall offs and “Spoons ” 6th with 12 fall offs. Ed Kenderdine was 7th with 1 segment win. John Kosmoski 8th with 1 win, 9th Billy Decker and 10th Jim Levan with 1 win.
