Hagerstown MD, 4/13/24- Defiance Pa’s Greg “Spike” 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. Moore’s triumph would be his second in as many weeks as he took the Modified feature win the previous Sunday during Bedford (Pa’s) season opening event. “Our car was good today.” Moore explained. “We’re still getting the hang of this new car but with a couple tweaks we’ll be really good.” George Dixon took second with Mitch Thomas, Jimmy Jesmer Jr and Rick Hulson completing the top five.

During the off-season Remington Va’s 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 Md’s 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.

LONG AWAITED HAGERSTOWN OPENER FALLS TO TREVER FEATHERS. ANDERSON CRATE LATE MODEL STAR

By Doug Watson
Hagerstown, MD (4/6/24)- After two consecutive events lost to weather, Maryland’s Hagerstown Speedway was able to get their first event of the season in the books with Winchester Virginia’s Trever Feathers scoring the win in the headline 25-lap Late Model Sportsman main.
Lining up seventh for the start, Feathers snared the race lead from Jonathan DeHaven on the fourth lap and would steer his Team Zero Bloomquist Chassis no.27 to the win which was checkered on lap-17 as the feature time limit had expired. “We got this car a few weeks ago and it was really good today.” Feathers stated post race. “The track was slick today, which I love, and we plan to race this car when we can.” The win was Trever’s second career win with the Late Model Sportsman and 10th overall career track victory as he has 8 wins with the full blown Late Models. Shawn Shoemaker took second with Ryan Zook, Cody Kershner and Scott Palmer rounding out the top five. Heats for the 25 cars on hand went to Feathers, Shoemaker and Scott Palmer.
In the 20-lap Crate Late Model main it was Bunker Hill West Virginia’s, Andy Anderson posting his first career division feature win. Like Feathers in the Sportsman feature, Anderson drove from his seventh starting spot to take the lead from Jarrett Edwards on the ninth lap to score the popular victory aboard his familiar Rocket no.25. “Hats off to the race track crew.” Anderson stated. “Those guys had it smooth and you could race all over it and the good thing about Hagerstown you can come from eighth or so and win because the track is so racy.” Braeden Dillinger posted a career best runner-up finish with 10th starting Trevor Collins, Brian Booze and second year driver Davin Kaiser completing the top five. Dillinger, Edwards and Branson Woodward were heat race winners over the 25 cars entered.
After leading the division with 10 wins in 2023, Jason Stoner picked up where he left off and posted his 15th career Hagerstown win in the 15 lap Semi Late main. Jason Wilkins, Kody Sites, Dillon Wilson and Steve Kent trailed at the finish. Heats went to Stoner and Brady Neff.
Randy Linaburg came from his 8th starting spot to collect his second career Hagerstown feature win in the 15 lap Pure Stock feature. Evan Foust, Dylan Beavers, defending division champion Keith Reed and Nathaniel Younker completed the top five. Robert Thompson and Evan Foust were heat race winners.

INCLEMENT WEATHER PUSHES HAGERSTOWN OPENER TO APRIL 6TH

/in /by

By Doug Watson

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. “Well, we tried but mother nature had other plans.” Were the words from track prep ace Brian Jones. “I guess we’ll come back and try again next week.” 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 Pa’s Braeden Dillinger made the lengthy three hour tow with his Rocket no.14D to compete with the Crate Late Models…Defending 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 shop…Former LMS champion Kyle Lear was on hand with his Ray Ciccarelli owned Rocket, but the car sported Lear’s familiar no.151 on its doors…Youthful Treyton Lee was set to make his his Crate Late Model debut with his Dougie Timmons prepared Rocket no.2T. Treyton’s brother, Kyle, is a former Late Model and Late Model Sportsman champion at Hagerstown…Pure Stock driver David Thompson was on hand with his beautiful no.12 that mirrored the car of former division standout Tony Stoneberger…Greg “Spike” 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 2024…Multi time Winchester (VA) Limited Late Model champion Jonathan DeHaven plans on being a Hagerstown regular this season with his Swartz chassis no.13D…Defending Semi Late champion Jasen Geesaman was on hand for the show with his beautifully prepared Bernheisel race cars no.81. This car, that raised many eyebrows during the off-season, will utilize a crate power plant…Gunnar 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.
