Spence & Rutherford Rocket To Labor Day Shootout Victories on Night One

While he's won a couple wingless 270cc A-Mains over the past few years, Kyle Spence drove to his first winged 600 Sprint victory in Lanco's Labor Day Shootout presented by Bud's Sprint Service on Saturday night at Clyde Martin Memorial Speedway. The triumph was the third 600cc win of the season for the driver from Bear, DE. 

  "I really wanted to add a winged 600 win (in the Shootout) to my list," said Spence. "It's a big race, one of the biggest in this area, and it's nice to be able to check it off the list of races I want to win."

Kenny Groff Trucking sponsored a fantastic night of racing at Lanco's Clyde Martin Memorial Speedway on Saturday, August 25, with three of the five main events featuring two- and three-car tussles for the win while a pack of hungry wolves fought for positions throughout the top ten.

Rutherford Is Double Trouble; Wins 600 & 270 Mains on Mongoose Chassis Night

When the season enters its "stretch run" and the summer sun is at its hottest, Mike Rutherford always seems to hit the "GO" button at Lanco's Clyde Martin Memorial Speedway.

  That was the case during Saturday's Mongoose Chassis Night at the Newmanstown, PA speedway, when Rutherford visited victory lane not once, but twice, scoring victories in the Hyper Racing 600 and Viper Chassis 270 main events. Both races were exciting events that saw Rutherford mired in heavy lapped traffic while a large pack of hungry racers battled ferociously for positions two through ten behind him. The 600cc main went non-stop (took just over 4-minutes, 37-seconds to complete), while the 25-lapper for the 270's had only two cautions slowing the event.

Hehnly Powers To 4th Win In 600's; Brown Gets 1st "W" In 270's on July 14

Newmanstown, PA (July 14) -  At the end of the 2017 racing season, Heath Hehnly said he'd had enough of being a weekly competitor.

  The Manheim resident found a way to attend his son's games and remain the driver of Chris Snyder's Hyper Racing/ Zartman Erosion Control No. 5, and on Saturday night he chalked up his fourth win of the season in the Hyper Racing 600 Sprint main event at Lanco's Clyde Martin Memorial Speedway.
