Hagerstown MD, 4/13/24- Defiance Paโs Greg โSpikeโ Moore scored the win in last Saturday nights 20-lap UMP Modified feature at Hagerstown Speedway as the division made its first appearance of the 2024 season. The win for Moore would be his first career track Modified score but the third division that he has won in during his Hagerstown career as he has also taken victories with the Late Model Sportsman and the Semi Lates. Lining up seventh for the start, Moore wrestled the top spot from Jimmy Jesmer Jr on the 9th lap and would then pace the final 11-circuits to secure the win. Mooreโs triumph would be his second in as many weeks as he took the Modified feature win the previous Sunday during Bedford (Paโs) season opening event. โOur car was good today.โ Moore explained. โWeโre still getting the hang of this new car but with a couple tweaks weโll be really good.โ George Dixon took second with Mitch Thomas, Jimmy Jesmer Jr and Rick Hulson completing the top five.
During the off-season Remington Vaโs Walter Crouch decided to switch gears and call Hagerstown Speedway home on Saturday nights. The decision quickly paid dividends as Crouch would go on to score his first career Hagerstown feature win in the 15 lap Semi Late main. Crouch snared the lead from Rob Nichols on the third lap and would go on to score the breakthrough win. Jason Wilkins, opening day winner Jason Stoner, Nichols and Steve Kent trailed at the finish.
After coming off a career best runner-up performance the weekend prior Knoxville Mdโs Evan Foust put it all together to collect his first career Hagerstown feature win in the 15 lap Pure Stock feature. Foust took the lead from Nathan Younker on the third lap and would drive off to collect a popular victory. Younker held tough for second, defending track champion Keith Reed was third with Dylan Beavers and opening day winner Randy Linaburg rounding out the top five.
Steve Cantwell took top honors in the 15 lap classic car event. Tyler Miller, Jimmy Combs, Logan Miller, and Connor Cantwell followed at the finish.

Hagerstown MD, (3/30/24)- It would be a valiant effort, but at the end mother nature prevailed for the second time in as many weeks as the planned season opener was canceled due to rain. The original season opening date of March 23rd was a complete washout, but this event would be lost at 5:30 after a spirited attempt by the Hagerstown staff to get the show in. โWell, we tried but mother nature had other plans.โ Were the words from track prep ace Brian Jones. โI guess weโll come back and try again next week.โ Next weekends event will be the Spring Championship featuring the Late Model Sportsman, Crate Late Models, Semi Lates and Pure Stocks offering double-points in all classes.
Notes-
Prior to the rain canceling the event 28 Late Model Sportsman, 19 Crate Late Models, 16 Semi Lates and 18 Pure Stocks singed in for the show. Dawson Paโs Braeden Dillinger made the lengthy three hour tow with his Rocket no.14D to compete with the Crate Late ModelsโฆDefending LMS champion Devin Hart had planned on racing at his hometown track of Port Royal (PA) but they also canceled their show due to weather. With the weather in Hagerstown not looking much better, Hart and company left their Rocket no.33K in the teams shopโฆFormer LMS champion Kyle Lear was on hand with his Ray Ciccarelli owned Rocket, but the car sported Learโs familiar no.151 on its doorsโฆYouthful Treyton Lee was set to make his his Crate Late Model debut with his Dougie Timmons prepared Rocket no.2T. Treytonโs brother, Kyle, is a former Late Model and Late Model Sportsman champion at HagerstownโฆPure Stock driver David Thompson was on hand with his beautiful no.12 that mirrored the car of former division standoutย Tony StonebergerโฆGreg โSpikeโ Moore who has Hagerstown feature wins in the Late Model Sportsman and Semi Late divisions was on hand for the show, but as a spectator. Moore stated due to the increased cost to run a competitive Late Model style car, he will focus his efforts with the E-Mods for 2024โฆMulti time Winchester (VA) Limited Late Model champion Jonathan DeHaven plans on being a Hagerstown regular this season with his Swartz chassis no.13DโฆDefending Semi Late champion Jasen Geesaman was on hand for the show with his beautifully prepared Bernheisel race cars no.81. This car, thatย raised many eyebrows during the off-season, will utilize a crate power plantโฆGunnar Walls was also set to make his Hagerstown debut with the Late Model Sportsman with his Rocket no.85. With 12 track titles and 150-plus track feature wins, the soft-spoken teenager will have plenty of help getting acclimated to the speedway once the season starts.
