won, reason out if any and
laps completed:
found the winners circle in
the USAC Weld Racing Silver Crown Series Sunday
afternoon, winning the “Bully
Hill Vineyards 100” at the Nazareth Speedway
in his Curb Records/Brown &
Miller Plumbing Beast/Mopar.
Walker, who had three previous third-place
career finishes,
gave car owner Kasey Kahne his second consecutive
won last year’s race in a driving
role.
“The car was great all day,”
use a little of my tires trying
to catch Dave (Steele, the pole winner and
race leader) but a got a run
off the last corner by going wide and staying
there. Once I got by it was
hard for him to get past me. This has been a
long time coming (his 28th
career start). I haven’t finished a race this
year, so I finally finish one
and I win. I guess that’s pretty good.”
Steele, of
after winning the pole at 135.140
mph.
81 and stayed there until the
checkered flag despite pressure from Steele
in the closing laps.

WESTERN SPRINT CAR RACE: September 4 – Stockton (
Haulmark All Star Sprint Results -
Meyer
starting spot and mechanical
woes by one of his biggest rivals to claim the
$5,000 top prize in
main Saturday night at Lincoln
Speedway. Rahmer's win, his 10th of the year
in the Pigeon Hills and 26th
of 2004 overall, added an exclamation point to
his eighth
132 wins at the Abbottstown oval have come in All-Star events.
Rahmer's seventh-fastest time coupled
with the failure of Chad Kemenah and
Eric Stambaugh
to qualify in their heats placed the Joe Harz No.88H
on the
outside of row one for the
start. He grabbed the lead from polesitter Jim
Siegel at the drop of the green
and led the first six laps. But
third-starting Lance Dewease
closed on the Miller Brothers/Material Handling
Systems/Media Camping Center
mount and drove under Rahmer for the race lead
in turns three and four of
lap seven. Dewease took control of the race and
was more than two seconds ahead
when disaster struck on lap 15.
The
No.77 came to a stop under
the lights in turn three, bringing out the
caution and handing the lead
back to Rahmer.
"It looked like Lance
had us beat pretty easy tonight, but obviously they
had either drive line or motor
trouble," said Rahmer in victory lane. "We
were able to sneak in here...we
weren't very good in the feature, I don't
know why, we made some changes
after the heat, and it looked like a mistake,
but we still got lucky and
right now is just our time."
Rahmer led the rest of the
way, crossing .78-seconds ahead of Kenny Jacobs,
the all-time winningest All Star now running for
Kline. Fast time trialer Brian Leppo, Niki Young, and 15th-starting Greg
Hodnett completed Posse sweep
third through fifth.
All-Star points
leader Chad Kemenah crossed sixth, with Josh Wells, Brook
Weibley, Danny Smith, and Jeremy Campbell
completing the top ten.
"They're a good group
of racers," said Rahmer of the All Stars. "I'd say
Kemenah is one of the best
racers in the country, but as long as a
regular wins, that's all that
matters."
Rahmer's win was his fourth of the
week (two at Susquehanna and one at
Williams Grove), and his eighth
win in his last ten races at
Siegel brought out the first
caution when he lost a right front tire while
running third on lap four.
Jeff Busby was uninjured in a flip on turn two of
lap 12. After Dewease brought
out the 15th lap caution, a horrific crash
took out four cars on the restart.
Brian Montieth hit the outside wall as
the drivers were coming down
the frontchute and slid sideways on the track.
Lucas Wolfe vaulted over Montieth's front wheel and flipped several times
across the track in front of
the oncoming traffic. Cris Eash
rolled several
times as well, and the two
flipping cars collected Phil Gressman. Montieth
also came to a stop with front
end damage. All the drivers walked away
uninjured, but all four cars
were done for the night. At the same time,
three other cars spun exiting
turn four. Brock Mayes, Tim Hunter, and
Glenndon Forsythe all ended up facing
the wrong way, and Mayes was hauled
off with front axle damage.
That reduced the field to 14 cars for the
restart.
The Crown Battery heat fell
to Josh Wells, the B&B Products heat went to
Bill Rose, the Engler Machine
and Tool heat was won by Tim Hunter and the TP
Wings heat fell to Greg Hodnett.
Doug Esh won the
the Huggins Cams Fast Time
qualifier over the 33-car field with a one-lap
time of 13.613 seconds (99.170
MPH).
