/in /by

With persistent overnight rains into the morning, and a forecast of rain continuing throughout the day, officials at Hagerstown Speedway were forced to cancel the 36th annual Stanley Schetrompf Classic for the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series.

The combination of rain and cooler temperatures will not allow enough drying time to give our drivers a safe track to race on.

Unfortunately, this makes the third year out of four this race has been canceled due to inclement weather.

The LOLMDS will journey up the road to for the first time ever at Port Royal Speedway for their scheduled race on April 23. The Mason-Dixon Shootout Series for 358 Late Models will join them on the card. General admission gates open at 3pm.

Lucas Oil Series Coming to Hagerstown Speedway

/in /by

The Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series is set to make their annual visit to Hagerstown Speedway on April 22 with the running of the 36th annual Stanley Schetrompf Classic.

The race is held in honor of Schetrompf, as he brought the famed Hub City oval to life in 1947.

Throughout the history of the Stanley Schetrompf Classic, the winner’s list of this prestigious event read of some of the best Dirt Late Model racers ever to race at Hagerstown Speedway.

Last year, Gregg Satterlee grabbed the upset win with a final lap pass of multi-time national champion Scott Bloomquist.

Six-time Schetrompf Classic winner Gary Stuhler already has two feature wins at Hagerstown in 2017, and has earned a guaranteed qualified position in this year’s running. He will be going to battle in the 60 Lap, $12,000 to-win main event against the likes of previous Schetrompf Classic winners Satterlee, Jimmy Owens, and Josh Richards.

Bloomquist has never won a Schetrompf Classic, and he will be looking to add this win to his resume. With the way the racing has been this season at Hagerstown, this night is shaping up to be one of the biggest and best races of the year.

Joining the LOLMDS on the card will be the Pure Stock division racing for double points and extra money in a 15 Lap feature race.

Pit gates open at 2pm, and general admission gates open at 5pm. Hot laps are scheduled to begin at 7pm. General admission is $32, reserved seats are $35, and pit admission is $45.

Free camping is available Friday and Saturday for those wishing to stay at the track. All units must be self-contained, no hook-ups on site.

Michelle Walls crowned Miss Hagerstown Speedway

/in /by

 

Race fans at Hagerstown Speedway may be familiar with the name Michelle Walls as a competitor in the Pure Stock division over the last few seasons. Now, the 18 year old resident of Hanover, Pennsylvania can add the title of 2017 Miss Hagerstown Speedway to her racing resume.

Walls was presented with the honors at the conclusion of Race-A-Rama at the Valley Mall in Hagerstown on March 10. She is daughter of Mike and Chrissy Walls.

Her favorite racetrack is Hagerstown Speedway, and her favorite driver is her father. Besides racing, Walls enjoys four-wheeling and meeting new people.

When asked on why she wanted to compete in the pageant, Walls said: “I decided to run for Miss Hagerstown Speedway because I thought it would be a fun experience. I absolutely love to meet new people and love to interact with all the drivers among various divisions. I also thought since I have been in the racing community for my whole life it would be worth a chance to compete.”

We all at Hagerstown Speedway would like to congratulate Michelle Walls on her new endeavor as an ambassador and representative of “The Capitol of Dirt Racing” during our 70th anniversary season.
