Final Wingless Wednesday event of 2019 is tonight!
Jason Swavely wins the 270 Make up Feature event, 10 Features run during the Wingless Wednesday events. Final Wingless Wednesday event of 2019 is tonight!
There was a lot of racing action to be seen on Wednesday September 18 with a full set of make of features for all of the divisions and a complete night of racing action to get in. The drivers and teams came prepared to race and the fans were treated to some amazing side by side as well as three and four wide racing action through out the evening.
After the 600 Micro Sprints completed their remaining heat race from the previous week, the Junior Slingshots made their way onto the track for their first feature event. Logan Bauman would lead the field to the green and never look back as he would lead all of the laps and take home the win. This class of young racers has a lot of talent in it and each week they put on some great battles, this race had Tyler UIsh finishing second followed by Wyatt Taschler, Joe Lyle, Aaron Diller, Talan Carter and Tucker Cole. In their second feature event, Logan Watt made his first start in a Slingshot, but unfortunately mechanical issues sidelined him after the first lap, keep an eye out for this young man to be back on the track, as he is a very talented driver in his quarter midget. Aaron Diller also was sidelined prior to the start of the race with mechanical issues. Talan Carter would win this feature after leading it from start to finish with a commanding lead. Joey Lyle would finish second followed by Tyler Ulsh, Wyatt Taschler, Tucker Cole and Matt Laubach, who was also making his first start in a Slingshot at Shellhammer’s Speedway.
The 600 Micro Sprint make up feature event had everyone keep an eye on the entire field with all of the three and four wide racing action that was taking place. The leaders had a very intense battle going between Nathan Smith Jr and James Morris. On lap 17 the pair would tangle and Morris would end up going over. Smith would be able to keep his spot but would feel the pressures of Lou Cicconi on the restart. Just after the white flag waved, Cicconi would tangle with Adrianna Delliponti and Daniel Schumaker. This would reset the field for a one lap shoot out but Nathan Smith JR. was not letting anyone take away the top spot and he would bring home the win followed by Fred Heinly, Jared Lilly, Tyler Lindsay and Jeremy Harshman. The second feature was brought to the green by Jacob Severn. Severn would have the lead until the restart on lap 13 when James Morris would challenge for the top spot and take control. Morris would take the lead and Severn would be battling with Delliponti and Cicconi to try and keep his second place spot. At the line it would be Cicconi finishing second followed by Severn, Delliponti and finishing fifth was Shaw Rooney.
The first 270 Micro Sprints feature was action packed and this race kept the fans on the edge of their seats right up until the checker flag flew! Jason Swavely took no time at all to have his car out front and take over the top spot. Early on he felt the pressure from JT Brotosky, but Brandon Edgar was working his way through the pack with his sights set on the leader. Edgar was up to the runner up spot by lap 7 but following him to the front was Dakota Barlet, Loudon Reimert and Glenn Macomber. The caution would fly on lap 15 when Chad Riddle would have mechanical problems and his exhaust would come off, and that rest the field, giving all of them the chance to be right in line with each other. As the green came out, Edgar and Swavely would begin an intense battle for the final five laps, but as the checkered flag flew, it would be Jason Swavely but only 0.031 over Brandon Edgar for the win. Dakota Barlet would finish third followed by Loudon Reimert and Glenn Macomber.
The second 270 Micro Sprint Feature was just as exciting as the first one! The red would come out on the first lap as the first feature winner, Jason Swavely would tangle with another car and find himself flipping between turns 1 and 2. Swavely would be able to continue racing after his little roller coaster ride! The field would get relined up and go back to free flag racing. Mike Kalman would be the early pace sitter, but Edgar would take over the top spot on lap 4 with Kalman and Macomber putting on the pressure. Meanwhile, Swavely was quietly working his way to the front of the pack after restarting in the rear after his earlier roll over. The caution would fly on lap 13 when Patrick Kirn would spin in turn 4. Swavely was up to 5th place at this point and Edgar would restart feeling the pressure of Kalman, Macomber, Reimert and Swavely. When the green flag flew, Reimert was on the move and was up to second but soon was battling with Swavely for the runner up spot, which allowed Edgar to take home the win. Reimert would finish second followed by Swavely, Macomber, and Kalman.
In the first 125 Micro Sprint Feature, Olivia Pellicciotti would lead the field to the green and show the way for the entire feature event. Behind her Thomas Kelley would be second early on, but mechanical failure would see him fall to the rear toward the end of the race. Zach Sound would finish second followed by Dylan Barlip and Thomas Kelley. In the Second 125 Feature Event, Marty Brian would take home the win followed by Chase Layser, Olivia Pellicciotti, Chase Layser, Dylan Barlip, Zach Young and Ron Young.
The Senior Slingshot Feature make up feature event saw Logan Bauman take the lead on the start and he did a great job of holding off the hard challenges of Brett Bieber as they weaved their way through lapped traffic to hold on for the win. Amanda Angstadt would finish third followed by Tanner Vandoren and Gavin Danner. In the second feature event, Josh Patterson would take the early lead over Lindsay Garl. Brett Bieber was working his way to the front and took over the top spot and never looked back. Bieber would take home the win followed by Josh Patterson, Lindsey Garl, Logan Bauman and Ryan Graver.
