Cool Night Produces Hot On Track Action At Borger's

  Tradition has it  the Labor Day weekend signals the end of summer.  Under fall like skies with a cool wind blowing Saturday night’s fierce competition made up for the chill that was in the air.

  The big question at Borger's is who can stop Rachel Godusky?  With a total of eight feature wins, Rachel made it three in a row in Rookie 270 Sprints.  Austin Guelich took the early lead followed by Zach Weidner and Godusky.   Godusky blasted into the lead on a lap two restart while Tiffany Wambold was charging through the pack.  Securing third spot Wambold got by Weidner setting up another classic Godusky-Wambold duel.  Some good hard wheel rubbing action put Wambold under Godusky coming out of turn four with two to go.  Godusky was not about to give up the number one spot taking starter Bobby Stuhl’s checkered flag with Wambold glued to her bumper.  Zach Weidner finished third followed by Derek Krum and Austin Guelich.

  If anyone has doubts about the future of auto racing a lot can be said about the performance of the Rookie 270 Sprint drivers.  The future is definitely in good hands.  This can also be said about the young All Star Slingshot drivers.  When you mention youth in the All Star Slingshots the name Azzalina immediately comes to mind.  The brothers Zach and Brandon have set the world on fire along with Ryan Raidline and Brandon Berger  since moving up from the Jr. Slingshots.

  Tonight again would be a night when the youth would shine.  Starting from the pole Ryan Raidline ran the race of his life immediately opening a commanding lead followed by Justin Zucal and Zach Azzalina.  With his first win in sight a caution came out putting the damper on Raidline’s efforts.  Azzalina got by Zucal and by half way had his sights set on Raidline.  On a restart Azzalina got by Raidline with Stan Friedman moving into second and Zucal third.  Brandon Berger made the pass on Zucal and Brandon Azzalina who had no intentions of being left out  dashed into fourth spot.  Friedman tried to run down Zach but the red number 15 was too strong and Friedman wound up in the runner up spot followed by Berger, Brandon Azzalina, with Zucal and Raidline finishing a strong fifth and sixth.

  Keeping with the youth theme what more can be said other then Jr. Slingshots?  Bobby Kibler Jr. made it win number eight.  With Kibler opening  a half a straightaway lead the real race was for the number two spot between Joseph Infante and Amber Oraschin.   Infante holding a two point lead coming into this race over Oraschin, the battle for second spot  took on a far greater significance then the race finish.  Infante held on for the second place finish  increasing his point lead over Oraschin.  In her Jr. Slingshot racing debute Jenna Weidner put on a fine performance to finish fourth in the Matt Massone number 15.

  In Stage One Modifieds Joel Smith took the early lead with Matt Mattern Jr. in hot pursuit.  While Smith could not shake the rest of the pack this set up a fierce four car battle for second place.  With Billy Fisher putting the pressure on Mattern followed by Bobby Smith Jr., and Richie Hissim, Mattern, running the best race of his career,  held strong and took the runner up spot.  Bobby Smith got by Fisher for third spot followed by Fisher and Richie Hissim.

  In Hoosier 270 Sprints Tony Scerbo made it win number four.  Scerbo led from the pole with Kaitlyn Oswalt a close second.  Steve Walters, who has to be the hottest thing on four wheels at Borgers,  coming off his win at the West End Fair Nationals soon moved to third spot.  On a restart Bealer got by Oswalt for third and with two to go made the pass on Walters for second.  Putting the pressure on Scerbo, Bealer did not have enough to get around the high flying number 29.  Scerbo took the win with Bealer second, Walters third followed by Oswalt and Bruce Leote.

Jeff Ubel and Tommy Laga New Winners 

Hissim and Dalrymple Repeat Winners At Borger's Friday

  Jeff Ubel made his first visit this season to Borger's Speedway victory lane in the Wingless 270 Sprint main event.  Ubel jumped to the early lead with Ryan Neil and Chris Oraschin in tow.  Oraschin got by Neil on lap two with Tiffany Wambold making the pass on Neil for third.  Oraschin who finally got the 270 Sprint Monkey off his back put pressure on Ubel in the closing laps but Ubel was too strong and took the checkered flagOraschin finished a close second with Tiffany Wambold third.

  Your first win is always your sweetest and Tommy Laga in his first visit to Borger's Speedway scored his first career Victory in Jr. Slingshots.  Laga and Tom Arntz Jr. staged a thrilling two car side by side battle the entire twenty lap distance.  Numerous times Arntz was under Laga but Laga kept the upper hand and pulled his sleek number 38 racer into victory lane.  Arntz had to settle for second with  the debute of his own number 31C Slingshot.

  Josh Dalrymple continued his winning ways taking the laurels in the Wingless 600 Sprints.  Dalrymple jumped to the learly lead with Rob Vivona and Chris Oraschin close behind.  This is how it would stay for the entire twenty lap race with Dalrymple taking the win followed by Vivona and Oraschin.

Five Feature Winners Account For A

Total Of 25 Feature Wins In 2010 At Borger'

Harvest Moon.  (noun) … The time approaching the autumnal equinox when there is little darkness between sunset and moonrise…a time when farmers use the moonlight to harvest their crops

  As the “Harvest Moon shone down on Borger's Speedway Saturday night the Borger's Speedsters were not harvesting crops but were harvesting feature wins.  The 5 division feature winners have racked up a total of 25 feature wins between them for the 2010 season

  Tonight’s racing featured a “Cone Race” for the Hoosier 270 Sprints, All Star Slingshots, and Stage One Modifieds which was well received by the drivers and fans.  After the original start a Cone is placed at the start-finish line after a caution.  The cars line up single file for the restart and as they approach the cone each car makes a decision as to which side of the cone they will start.  Depending on the driver’s choices a car from deep in the pack could advance his starting position to the front of the pack.  The drivers loved this idea and it will definitely be done again in the future

  In Hoosier 270 Sprints Pat Bealer made it win number 5.  As if they were shot out of a cannon Dave Dornblaser and Pat Bealer jumped to the early lead with Jeff Ubel in tow.  On a restart Bealer took the lead with Steve Walters moving to third spot.  Another restart put Walters in the number two spot and it would remain Bealer, Walters, Dornblaser, Ubel, and JJ Uliana to the checkered flag.  Rookie 270 Sprint winner Rachel Godusky would turn in a very impressive run for sixth place.  As the checkered flag waved Brandon Poff was involved in a tangle that sent him flipping out of turn four as the pack headed for the finish line

  Quite possibility the two “Hottest Women” in Rookie 270 Sprint racing make their home at Borger's Speedway and tonight they did not leave their fans down.  Rachel Godusky and Tiffany Wambold staged a wheel to wheel battle that kept the fans on the edge of their seats with Godusky making it win number 7.  Derek Krum held the early lead until lap three when Godusky got by,  On lap four Wambold moved to third and the next lap passed Krum setting up the two car battle to the finish.  Godusky would prove to be too strong and took the win with Wambold glued to her back bumper.  Derek Krum finished third followed by Alex Reinsmith and Raymond Groff

  In All Star Slingshots Stan Friedman found himself in an “Azzalina Sandwich” with Brandon in the lead and Zach in third.  All good sandwiches need a bit of mustard and Friedman found enough mustard to get by Brandon to take the lead.  As the Azzalina brothers put the pressure on Friedman, Jim Bassett was charging like a “Raging Bull.”  Bassett made the pass on the Azzalinas but did not have enough to snatch the win from Friedman.  Friedman made it win number 5 followed by Bassett, Brandon Azzalina, Zach Azzalina, and Bob Camps

  Amber Oraschin made it win number 4 in  Saturday Jr. Slingshots.  The “Pint Sized Powerhouse” took the lead from pole sitter Bobby Kibler Jr. and never looked back.  Kibler and point leader Joseph Infante kept the pressure on but it would go down to the checkered flag as Oraschin, Kibler, and Infante.  Tonight’s race tightens up the hotly contested point battle which is the closest in all three Saturday night divisions.  Infante has held the point lead all season but at this point it will go right down to the wire to determine the 2010 championship.

  Bobby Smith Jr. made it win number 4 in Stage One Modifieds.  Smith took the early lead and never gave up the number one spot.    Billy Fisher chased Smith to the checker with John Coon finishing a strong third

Hoosier 270 Sprints…  Pat Bealer, Steve Walters, Dave Dornblaser, Jeff Ubel, JJ Uliana, Rachel Godusky, Bruce Leote, Tim Quinter, Jerry Ubel,Tony Scerbo, Brandon Porr, Clint Porvaznik, Kaitlyn Oswalt, Chris Oraschin, Brett Conkling

Borger's Beats The Rain As Teams Prepare For The West End Fair Nationals

  As the checkered flag fell on the Hoosier 270 Sprint feature a gentle rain started falling as the Sprints, Slingshots, and Stage One Modifieds capped a night of preperation for the West End Fair Nations this coming Thursday August 26.

  The light rain did not dampen the spirits of Steve Walters who made it win number two in the Hoosier 270 Sprints.  Numerous times this year Walters had victory in grasp only to have it snatched from him in the closing laps due to mechanical problems.  His previous win  was almost cut short by a car that developed a miss in the final laps.  Tonight would be very different as he dominated the entire 25 lap feature.

  Walters jumped to the early lead with Kaitlyn Oswalt and Brett Conkling hot on his tail.  Conkling used a restart to make the pass on Oswalt for second and that is how it stayed the rest of the race.  Coming from seventeenth starting spot a  very impressive performance by Pat Bealer landed him  fourth place followed by Nathan Hahn and Rookie Sprint feature winner Zach Weidner coming home for sixth.

  This past week was a very proud and exciting time for Melissa Azzalina.  There is no better feeling then the feeling of accomplishment and rightly so.  Melissa “Aced” her final college exams, made the Dean’s List and celebrated a birthday August 21.  Her son Zach decided to give Mom a special birthday present and went out and won the All Star Slingshot feature for his proud mom.

  Whenever the All Star Slingshots take to the track an Azzalina is never too far from the front and tonight would be no different.  John Drake took the early lead with Stan Friedman and Zach Azzalina in pursuit.  Drake held the lead until dropping out after making contact with the backstretch wall.  Azzalina took advantage of the situation and got by Friedman followed by Terry Frey.  Friedman regained second with JR Fulper moving to third.  The positions would remain the same and Azzalina would enter victory lane.  Terry Frey held on for fourth spot with Brandon Berger and Brandon Azzalina sixth.  Bobby Kibler Jr. moving up from the Jr. Slingshots finished an impressive seventh.

  Joel Smith continued his dominance of the Stage One Modifieds and won feature number six.  While Smith opened  a straightaway lead the real battle was with Jim Hendry and Kyle Rohner for the number two spot. In the best race of his career Jim Hendry held on for the runner up spot  and Dave Dornblaser made a late race pass to grab third place from Rohner.

  Most guys would love to have two girls chasing  them and would love to have them catch them in the end.  Not so when you are racing for the feature win in a “High Speed” Rookie 270 Sprint.  This was the case tonight as Zach Weidner made it win number four.  Weidner won the race to turn one with Tiffany Wambold and Raymond Groff.  Soon Rachel Godusky would enter the picture and get by Groff on a restart.  Godusky used another restart to get by Wambold but now Derek Krum was on the move from deep in the pack.  With the two female “Hot Shoes” breathing down his back Weidner would not budge and took starter Bobby Stull’s checkered flag.  Following Weidner was Godusky, Wambold, Krum, and Zach Bealer.  Sheldon Iudicello turned in a strong performance for sixth

  In Jr. Slingshots John Dvorscak came home the winner with Amber Oraschin and Joseph Infante.  With the Jr. Slingshots point race being the tightest of the five divisions it will go right down to the wire for the championship with Joseph Infante holding a slight lead over Amber Oraschin and John Dvorscak.

Hoosier 270 Sprints…  Steve Walters, Brett Conkling, Kaitlyn Oswalt, Pat Bealer, Nathan Hahn, Zach Weidner, Clint Provaznik, Brayden Winters, JJ Uniana, Kim Glass, Tim Quinter, Dave Dornblaser, Kyle Pickering, Louie Horvth, Jeff Ubel, Brad Tabertshofer, Tony Scerbo,  DNS  Chris Oraschin.

All Star Slingshots…  Zach Azzalina, Stan Friedman, JR Fulper, Terry Frey, Brandon Berger, Brandon Azzalina, Bobby Kibler Jr., Mike Moyer, Bob Camps, Justin Zucal, John Drake, Ryan Raidline.

Stage One Modifieds  Joel Smith, Jim Hendry, Dave Dornblaser, Kyle Rohner, Bobby Smith Jr., Billy Fisher, Rich Hissim, Matt Mattern Jr.

Rookie 270 Sprints…  Zach Weidner, Rachel Godusky, Tiffany Wambold, Derek Krum, Zach Bealer, Sheldon Iudicello, Raymond Groff, Nicole Quinter, Austin Guelich, Joe Zaccarino, DNS  Chris Cline, Paul Rimsky.

Ryan Neil & Jenna Shostkewitz New Winners

 Josh Dalrymple and Jim Peters Repeat

 In Wingless 270 Sprint action Ryan Neil became a first time winner under crisp, clear late autumn skies at Borger's Speedway.  Neil took the early lead over Kurt Bettler and Tim Quinter and that is low it stayed the entire 20 laps.  Neil took starter Rich Raidline’s checkered flag with the Quinter Stable having an outstanding  night with Kurt Bettler in the runner up spot and teammate Tim Quinter third.

 Wingless 600 Sprints saw Josh Dalrymple cruise to his second win of the season.  Dalrymple jumped to the early lead with Luke Schostkewitz getting by Chris Oraschin for second  on lap two.  This is how it would stay for the duration with the race going non stop.  Dalrymple went to victory lane with Luke Shostkewitz turning in a fine performance for second and point leader Chris Oraschin third.

 Once again the hot action was with the All Star Slingshots. Greg Zellman led the charge to turn one with Jim Peters blasting by on lap two and  Dan Shafer making the pass for second.  As Peters got sideways Shafer took  advantage and gained the number one spot.  On a restart Peters regained the lead with Nick Snyder putting pressure on the leaders but Peters proved to be too strong and ***Snyder*** pending results of post race tech,  had to settle for second with Kurt Bettler finishing third.

Borger's Stars Shine For Blue Ridge Cable TV13 Night At The Races

  Speedway owners Glenn and Ruth Borger presented the annual Blue Ridge Cable TV13 night at Borger's Speedway with five cameras capturing all the action featuring the stars of Borger's Speedway.

  Dave Dornblaser backed up last week’s feature win in  Hoosier 270 Sprints by winning the dash to turn one.  Dornblaser set a blistering pace as Chris Oraschin and Brett Conkling took chase.  Conkling eventually got by Oraschin followed by Nathan Hahn.  As Conkling tried to run down Dornblaser Tony Scerbo made the pass on Hahn for third place.  The four leaders burned up the track as the laps wound down with Dornblaser taking the win followed by brilliant performances by Conkling, Scerbo, and Hahn.

  In Rookie 270 Sprints Rachel Godusky proved to be the top dog for the TV13 cameras.  The race was only ½ lap down when Zach Weidner brought out the red flag flipping on the backstretch.  Godusky took the lead from Austin Guelich on lap three with Zach Bealer on her tail and Tiffany Wambold moving into  third spot.  Wambold got by Bealer for second and in a late race charge tried to wrestle the top spot from GoduskyGodusky proved to be too strong and took starter Bobby Stull’s checkered flag followed by Wambold and Zach Bealer.

  Another action packed event for All Star Slingshots saw Brandon Azzalina taking the lead on lap one from pole sitter Mike Moyer.  2009 point champion Matt Dealaman began a charge through the pack to second spot  followed by John Drake.  This set up a three car battle for the lead.  Drake pouring on the steam got by Dealaman and Azzalina with Dealaman also getting by Azzalina for second.  Dealaman made the pass on Drake for the lead and history repeated itself when the five laps to go sign came out and once again Drake mysteriously faded to fifth spot. Dealaman would take the checkered flag with Brandon Azzalina second and Stan Friedman third.

  Joseph Infante once again paid a visit to victory lane in the Jr. Slingshot feature.  Infante would lead every lap to take the win over Amber Oraschin, John Dvorscak, and Bobby Kibler Jr..

New Faces In Jr. Slingshots and Wingless 600 Sprints Toughen The Competition At Borger's

Jim Conroy First Time Winner

Bealer, Chris and Amber Oraschin Repeat Winners On Lucky Friday The 13t

  Jim Conroy has been trying hard the entire season in Borger's All Star Slingshots.  Tonight his persistence paid off as he wheeled the white number 64J to victory lane.  Conroy brought the field down to the green flag with Rich Hissim in pursuit followed by Jim Peters.  This is how the race would stay the entire 20 laps.  Conroy drove a flawless race as Hissim and Peters tried their best to get around  Conroy to keep him from victory lane.  It was not to be and the race would go non stop giving Conroy his first win and the Hammerdown Dyno Challenge bucks with  Hissim and Peters a close second and third.

  New faces tightened the already tough competition in the Jr. Slingshot division.  Jim Molson and Jenna Shostkewitz gave Amber Oraschin and Tom Arntz Jr. a run for their money in the Junior Slingshot main.  Coming off a heat win Jim Molson took the early lead with Jenna Shostkewitz hot on his rear bumperOraschin and Arntz got by Shostkewitz on lap three with Amber passing Molson for the lead  the next lap.  Molson would hang tough on Oraschin but did not have quite enough to regain the lead.  Likewise Shostkewitz would keep the pressure on Arntz to the checkered flag finishing a close fourth to third place Arntz.

  If anyone has any questions on the future of racing, the future clearly is in good hands with the performances these fine kids are putting on.

  In Wingless 600 Sprints it was the Chris and Josh show as the two speedsters locked in a two car battle for the 20 lap main.  Newcomer Joe Smith would become a thorn in Oraschin and Dalrymple’s sides as he kept the pressure on for the number one spot.  Soon Rob Vivona would make it a four car battle for the lead but a  tangle in turn two put Luke Shostkewitz in  fourth spot and this is how it would end. Rob Vivona  recovered for fifth and Cody Smith in his first appearance  finished a respectable sixth in front of Colton Rex.

 The big question in the Wingless 270 Sprints is who can stop Pat Bealer.  If the racing Friday night is any indication of the Wingless 270 Octoberfest  this series will prove to be a real barnburner. 

  Pat Bealer jumped to the early lead with Tiffany Wambold on his tail.  Getting by Wambold,  Louie Horvath and Darin Bartholomew would prove to be a force to be reckoned with.  The trio would stage a tight three car battle for the lead and soon Brendon Poff making a run from the rear would join the hunt.  The four cars would stay locked together in an edge of your seat race for the checkered flag.  Bealer held on for the win with Horvath, Bartholomew, and Poff all under a blanket.

All Star Slingshots… Jim Conroy, Rich Hissim, Jim Peters, Dan Shafer, Scott Miller Tom Hennessy,  Kurt Bettler

Jr. Slingshots…  Amber Oraschin, Jim Molson, Tom arntz Jr., Jenna Shostkewitz

Wingless 600 Sprints…  Chris Oraschin, Josh Dalrymple, Joe Smith, Luke Shostkewitz, Rob Vivona, Cody Smith, Colton Rex.

Dornblaser and Hissim Head To the Fair

Guelich First Time Winner.  Smith Jr. and Dvorscak Repeat Winner

A beautiful late summer evening treated the biggest crowd of the season to hot action on the 1/7 mile Borger's Speedway in Saylorsburg, Pa

  Dave Dornblaser nabbed the guaranteed starting spot for the West End Fair Nationals  in the Hoosier 270 Sprints.  Dornblaser set a blistering pace from the drop of the green with Mark Manieri hot on his tail.  Manieri in his best race of the season tried every trick in the book to get by the high flying Dornblaser, but Dornblaser kept shutting the door.  At the checkered flag it was Dornblaser and  Manieri with Kurt Bettler bringing home the Fred Bittner 54 in third spot.  Fine runs by Brett Conkling and Brandon Poff rounded out the top five and rookies Rachel Godusky and Zach Weidner finishing sixth and seventh in the special event which allowed Rookie 270 feature winners to run the Hoosier 270’s

  Everyone knew it would only be a matter of time until Austin Guelich would set foot in victory lane and tonight was his night to shine.  Guelich took the early lead in the rookie 270 Sprint main with Zac Bealer and Missi Seip putting the pressure on the 7G.  Raymond Groff coming on strong grabbed the third spot from Seip and joined the hunt.  Bealer made a last lap charge for the lead but Guelich was just to strong and took starter Bobby Stull’s checkered flag.  An ever improving Zach Farleigh would finish a strong fourth and newcomer Derick Stenlake rounded out the top five

  Richie Hissim had the Midway Lights of the West End Fair in sight as he took the guaranteed starting spot for the second year in a row in All Star Slingshots.  Mike Glass won the drag race to turn one at the drop of the green and started to build a small lead over Hissim.  On lap thirteen Glass’s night would end as he coasted to a stop on the backstretch which put Kurt Bettler in the number two spot.  Where there’s smoke there’s fire and the fire came in the form of Brandon Azzalina as he blasted into third spot and tried to chase down the leaders.  The race would end with Hissim in the top spot followed by Bettler and Azzalina

John Dvorscak made it win number four in Jr. Slingshots besting Joseph Infante and Tom Arntz Jr. who was fresh off a Friday night Jr. Slingshot win

In Stage One Modifieds Richie Hissim took the early lead with Jim Hendry close behindHissim would make a trip to the infield bringing out the yellow with Bob Smith Jr.  taking the lead on the restart.  In his strongest race ever Matt Mattern Jr.  jumped into second spot being chased by Joel Smith.  Bob Smith Jr. took the checkered flag with Mattern holding off Joel Smith for the runner up spot

At intermission the large crowd was treated to an autograph session with world famous open wheel racer Tyrone Shoelaces signing autographs for his many fans

Kenseth Crew Visits Borgers Speedway On Night Of Triumph and Heartbreak.

 

  Billy Fisher has finished in the bridesmaid position in Stage One Modified Racing at Borger's Speedway much more then he would like and triumph had only been a dream.  So near and yet so far finishing second best to the best.  Tonight that would all change.  From the drop of the green Fisher was fast, very fast.  Soon Joel Smith would be glued to Fisher’s rear bumper trying to keep the red white and blue  00 from that elusive checkered flag. As the laps wound down the battle became more fierce and   Bobby Smith Jr. joined the hunt.  The Smith cousins put the pressure on Fisher but this was to be his night of triumph.  Fisher edged out Joel Smith at the checkered flag with Bobby Smith Jr. third.

  Once again Matt Kenseth’s crew members made the trip to Borger's Speedway to compete in the Kenseth Pit Crew Challenge in the Stage One Modifieds.  Triumph was in store for Kenseth Crew Member and former Mahoning Speedway modified racer Brent Wentz  Brent the son of former modified star Gary Wentz wheeled the 555 around the tight 1/7 mile oval to take starter Bobby Stull’s checkered flag.  The Kenseth crew put on another fine show and the management at Borger's Speedway would like to thank the guys for taking time out of their busy schedule to race at Borger's.

  Triumph came in threes to Tony Scerbo in Hoosier 270 action as he picked up his third win of the season.  Kaitlyn Oswalt jumped to the early lead with Scerbo making the pass on lap three.  A restart put Pat Bealer in the mix but Scerbo turned laps at a torrid pace with Oswalt in hot pursuitScerbo would prove to be too strong for Oswalt but Kaitlyn held off point leader Pat Bealer who tried every trick in the book to get by.

  It looked like triumph would finally come to Raymond Groff in  the Rookie Sprint main.  Groff running the best race of his career held of a hard charging Tiffany Wambold lap after lap.   Each go around  Wambold  tried to make the pass but Groff would not budge.  With the checkered flag waving coming out of turn four Groff’s triumph tuned to heartbreak as Wambold edged out Groff at the finish line by .029 of a second with Zach Weidner third.

All Star Singshots finish is UNOFFICIAL pending results of post race tech.

  Zach Azzalina took advantage of Mike Moyer’s misfortune to score back to back wins in All Star Slingshot action.  The story of the night had to be Mike Moyer.  Moyer jumped to the early lead with Ryan Raidline hot on his tail.  Raidline coming off his first heat win since moving to the All Star division put the pressure on Moyer.  With Moyer driving a masterful race soon Brandon Azzalina would make it a three car battle for the lead.  Azzalina moved to the second spot as Raidline spun in turn two and the race of Moyer’s life was shaping up.  Moyer and Azzalina battled side by side with Moyer holding off the hard charging Azzalina.  With victory in sight coming out of turn four on lap twenty two contact was made which sent Moyer spinning to the infield turning triumph to heartbreak.  Being in the right place at the right time Zach Azzalina inherited the lead and coasted to the win.  Stan Friedman was second with Brandon Berger third.

  Triumph smiled down on Amber Oraschin as she made her way to victory lane in Jr. Slingshot action.  Amber jumped to the early lead which soon became a three car shootout with Joseph Infante and John Dvorscak.  As Oraschin opened a small lead Infante brought out the yellow which moved Dvorscak to second.  Oraschin was not to be caught with Dvorscak finishing second and Infante recovering for third.

Bealer Unbeatable At Borger's Friday

 Dalrymple and  Timar First Time Winners

  Oraschin and  Snyder Head To West End Fair.

  The big question is who can beat Pat Bealer in Friday night Wingless 270 Sprints at Borger's Speedway.  A strong field of Wingless 270 Sprints tried but all came up short.  Pat Bealer took the early lead followed by Tim Quinter.  Jeff Ubel got by Quinter with Tiffany Wambold following.  A tangle in turn two knocked out Wambold and  put Kurt Bettler in third spot.  Bealer, Ubel, and Bettler would stage a three car battle to the finish ending in that order.

  Josh Dalrymple paid his first visit to victory lane in Wingless 600 Sprint competition.  Josh and Chris Oraschin took the early lead with Colton Rex on their tales.  Dalrymple did not miss a tick as the race went non-stop to take starter Rich Raidline’s checkered flag followed by Oraschin and Rex. 

  Due to a schedule conflict Dalrymple would not be able to race at West End so the guaranteed starting sport went to second place Chris Oraschin.

  In All Star Slingshot action Jim Conroy out drug pole sitter Kurt Bettler to turn one.  Nick Snyder soon got by Conroy  putting the pressure on Bettler.  The outside lane proved to be the fast way around as Snyder got by Bettler on a lap nine restart.  Snyder and Bettler locked in a tight battle for the lead with Snyder edging out Bettler to take the Snyder Stairs number 7 to victory lane and also clinching the West End Fair qualifying spot along with the Hammerdown Dyno Challenge cash with Conroy finishing a close third.

  The big story of the night had to be 10 year old Amber Oraschin.  Having the Friday Jr. Slingshot championship locked up Amber made the move Friday to the All Star division.  Amber quickly came from the rear moving at a rapid pace catching the three leaders to finish a strong fourth place.

  Another new face in victory lane as Nick Timar scored his first Jr. Slingshot feature win.  Timar jumped into the early lead with Tom Arntz Jr. second.  The race would go non-stop giving Timar his first checkered flag.  Arntz would finish second with Angelica Timar third.

Wingless 270 Sprints…  Pat Bealer,Jeff Ubel, Kurt Bettler, Brendon Poff, Erick Trautman, Tiffany Wambold, Louie Horvath, Chris Oraschin, Missi Seip, Sheldon Iudicello, Tim Quinter, Ryan Neil Jerry Ubel.

Christmas Comes Early To  Leote, Weidner, Kibler, Azzalina At Borgers

Santa Claus brought his bag of goodies to celebrate Borger's Christmas In July in grand style

  Bruce Leote has not been naughty but nice and got his wish from Santa.  So nice  he made it to victory lane for the second time in Hoosier 270 Sprints at Borger's Speedway.  As snow flakes began to fall it turned into a “Winter Wonderland” as Leote blasted into the lead at the drop of the green with Tony Scerbo in tow.  Dave Dornblaser and Steve Walters got by Scerbo to make it a race for  second spot.  Pat Bealer slipped by Walters to move into second place but Leote resembling a “Guided Mistletoe” was not to be denied his second win of the season.  Dornblaser finished second with Bealer third

   Zach Weidner had his “Sleigh Bells” ringing as he devastated the field of Rookie Sprints for his third win of the season.  Derek Krum and Rachel Godusky were in a tight battle for second but Tiffany Wambold was on the move.  Soon Raymond Groff was in the hunt as Krum faded and Godusky moved into second with Wambold third.  Weidner made his way to victory lane to the “Ho Ho HO” of Santa followed by Godusky and Wambold

  Santa’s eight reindeer might be able to take him around the world in twenty four hours but they were no match for Zach Azzalina’s rapid trip around Borger's Speedway in All Star Slingshot action.  Bob Camps was the early leader but Azzalina got by on lap two.  Rich Hissim soon put the pressure on Camps to make it a “Yuletide Battle’ for second spot.  There was no catching the red and white “Sleigh” of Azzalina as Camps and Hissim battled  to the wire for second and third.  In fact Azzalina was so hot that in victory lane Santa’s beard caught fire but it was quickly extinguished.

  Rudolph with your nose so bright won’t you guide my sleigh tonight.  Bobby Kibler Jr. did not need no “Red Nose Reindeer” to find the quick way around Borger's Speedway in Jr Slingshot Action.  Kibler backed up his Friday night Jr. Slingshot win by winning his seventh Saturday night feature.  John Dvorscak “Jingle Belled” his way around pole sitter Amber Oraschin with Kibler hot on his tail.  Kibler took the lead on lap five and soon Joseph Infante was putting the pressure on DvorscakInfante made the pas to finish second with Dvorscak third.

  At intermission as Steve Heckman and Bobby Stull sang “White Christmas” Santa was driven into the speedway by Bruce “Rudolph” Knitter and greeted the kids in the grandstand handing out gifts and a bicycle which was donated by Steve Heckman Designs.  Even Glen “Pap” Borger was seen wearing a Santa Claus hat for the evening’s festivities and Mrs. Claus, Ruth Borger, was handing out ice pops to the kids.  .  Santa, who had been on vacation in the Bahamas, placed his finger aside of his nose and up the chimney he rose to work on his tan and get ready for the upcoming Christmas season.

Colton Rex and Bobby Kibler Jr. Make Their Mark In Borger's Victory Lane. 

Bettler Ups The Hammerdown Dyno Challenge Ante.

 

  Colton Rex has been running strong the entire season in Wingless 600 Sprint competition at Borger's Speedway.  The raindrops falling in victory lane did little to dampen the joy of Colton Rex winning his first Wingless 600 Sprint feature at Borger's Speedway

  From the drop of the green it was all Colton Rex.  Soon Jason VonDoren entered the picture and the two staged a thrilling side by side duel until point leader Chris Oraschin brought out the yellow flag.  On the restart VonDoren jumped the start giving the lead back to Rex who raced to the checkered flag.  Chris Oraschin recovered for second with VonDoren third

  With Kurt Bettler’s second straight All Star Slingshot win the pot is growing for the Hammerdown Dyno Challenge bonus.  Greg Zellman and Bettler out drug pole sitter Scotty Miller to turn two and Bettler wasted no time in getting by Zellman to take the lead and never looked back.  The real battle was for second place between Zellman and Richie Hissim with Zellman coming out on top. 

  Bobby Kibler Jr. carried his Saturday winning ways over to Friday night and took the Jr. Slingshot Main over point leader Amber Oraschin.  Tom Arntz Jr., who is looking stronger each week, finished third.

Bealer, Berger Unbeatable At Borger's

  Pat Bealer backed up his Friday night Wingless 270 Sprint win with another trip to victory lane in Hoosier 270 Sprint action at Borge's Speedway.  At the drop of the green Steve Walters took off like a rocket with Brett Conkling hot on his tail.  Soon Tony Scerbo and Bealer got by Conkling and moved into second and third.  Bealer got by Scerbo and with two to go made the pass on Walters.  Steve Walters had to settle for the runner up spot with Brett Conkling third.

  Brandon Berger has been running strong all year in All Star Slingshots and tonight would be his night to shine.  In the May 29 make up feature Berger jumped to the early lead with Terry Frey on his bumper.  This was to be short lived as Brandon Azzalina passed car after car to move into second placeAzzalina could not mount s serious charge on the leader as Berger ran a flawless race to score his first All Star Slingshot win.  Azzalina finished second with brother Zach third.

  In Rookie Sprints Derek Krum led the first five laps but Tiffany Wambold got by on lap six.  Krum proved to be a serious challenge for Wambold but did not have enough to regain the lead.  Wambold took starter Bobby Stull’s checkered flag with Krum second and Rachel Godusky third.

  In the regular All Star Slingshot feature pole sitter Barry Camps took the early lead with Stan Friedman in hot pursuit.  While they were locked in a battle for the lead John Drake was coming through the pack like a screaming freight train.  Drake soon picked off Friedman and on a lap 9 restart got by Camps and was gone.  Brandon Azzalina made it past Friedman to finish second with Friedman third.

  In the Jr. Slingshot Feature early leader Nick Timar looked to be the man to beat,  With Amber Oraschin putting the pressure on, Timar drove the best race of his career to hold the number one spot.  Bobby Kibler Jr. made a pass on Oraschin for second and on lap 14 made the pass on TimarKibler pulled into victory lane with Timar a close second and Amber Oraschin third.

  In Stage One Modifieds it was a Smith Family Affair. Cousins Bobby and Joel Smith put on heart pounding duel that kept the Borger's fans on the edge of their seats.  This went on  the entire 20 non stop lap distance with Bobby edging out Joel at the finish line in the closest finish of the season for the Stage One Modifieds.  Billy Fisher turned in another strong finish for third spot.

Brett Smith Wins First Wingless 600 Sprints

  Bettler, Bealer, and Amber Oraschin Repeat

 

  Brett Smith is no stranger to  Borger's Speedway victory lane with 11 All Star Slingshot wins.  Tonight Brett entered victory lane as the Wingless 600 Sprint winner. Bobby Butler led from the drop of the green only to have Smith hot on his tail.  It looked to be a Butler and Smith duel until Butler slowed to a stop on the backstretch.  After that it was all Brett Smith.  Another fine run by Josh Darylrymple put him in second spot with point leader Chris Oraschin third.

  In Wingless 270 Sprint action once again it was the Pat Bealer show.  Bealer was the early leader with Rob Pajauis and Jeff Ubel in tow.  Pajauis slipped by Bealer but Bealer regained the lead on a restart and now Brandon Poff was entering the picture.  Poff in only his second start of the year ran a strong race and looked to be a solid third place finisher until he became a victim being in the wrong place at the wrong time.  Pajauis also a victim of the wreck recovered for third with Louie Horvath second.

  Kurt Bettler kept the Hammerdown Dyno Challenge bucks in the family winning his fourth All Star Slingshot win of the year.  Jim Peters was the early leader but Bettler wasted little time in taking the lead.  While Bettler and Peters widened the distance between them and third place a battle was developing between Mike Butler and JR Fulper.  At the drop of the checkered flag Bettler edged out Peters with Butler coming out on top of Fulper.

  Brett Hoffmaster is the all time Jr. Slingshot feature winner at Borger's Speedway with 16 wins.  Amber Oraschin is looking to knock Hoffmaster out of the top spot.  With 11 wins so far this season and with the  year she is having it looks like Hoffmaster’s record could very well be in jeopardy.  The petite brunette from Palmer Township, Pa. made it one step closer with her win over Tom Arntz Jr.  With Amber all but having the Friday night championship wrapped up and father Chris the current Friday night Wingless 600 Sprint point leader we could very well see the first father and daughter point champions in Borger's Speedway history.  Amber is currently second in points on Saturday night and also has a short at that championship.

Bruce Leote Wins  First 270 Sprint Feature In Front Of Large Borger's Crowd

 

  Bruce Leote won a Wingless 270 Sprint feature at Borger's Speedway a few years ago but the “Big One” has always eluded him.  Leote has been running strong all year coming up short  numerous  times and everyone knew a win was in his future.  Saturday night as raindrops started to fall it all came together in front of one of the biggest crowds of the season as Leote pulled into victory lane.

  Leote charged into the lead passing pole sitter Kaitlyn Oswalt on lap two.  From lap three Leote led every go around running a flawless race.  Defending 2009 Hoosier 270 Sprint champion Pat Bealer was determined not to make Leote’s job an easy one trying every trick in the book to get around the high flying Leote but it was not to be.  Leote took starter Bobby Stull’s checkered flag with Bealer a close second and Steve Walters third.

  In the make up Hoosier 270 Sprint feature JJ Uliana made it win number two for 2010.  Uliana jumped to the early lead with Tony Scerbo hot on his tail.  Soon Dave Dornblaser and Pat Bealer were in hot pursuit.  The four were locked in a tight battle for the lead and the race went caution less for the next 23 laps.  On a last lap restart Uliana never gave up an inch and went on to his second win of the season.  Tony Scerbo was second with Dave Dornblaser third.

  At intermission 2010 Ms. Borgers Speedway Tiff Coons, and 2009 Ms. Borger's Speedway Jess Coons said they want their grandfather’s racecars.  Stan Friedman said not so fast.  Not for at least another 10 years.  Off those words 70 year old Stan Friedman added another All Star Slingshot win to his career that has spanned the past 30 years.  From the drop of the green Friedman was in an Azzalina brothers sandwich with Zach in the lead and  Brandon third.  Friedman wrestled the lead from Zach on a restart and soon Bill Wever, JR Fulper, Cody Kline and Matt Massone were in the hunt.  Weaver got by Zach and Brandon to chase Friedman to the checkered flagZach Azzalina finished a close third with Jr. Fulper getting by Brandon Azzalina for fourth.

  Rachel Godusky made in three in a row in Rookie 270 Sprint action.  Early leader Austin Guelich was soon pursued by Tiffany Wambold but on a restart Godusky blasted by Wambold and Guelich with Zach Weidner on her tail.  The rest of the way it was Godusky and Weidner with Derek Krum also getting by Wambold.  As the laps wore down Wambold  got by Krum to finish third.

  In Jr. Slingshots John Dvorscak made it win number three.  It was Dvorscak, Joseph Infante, and Bobby Kibler Jr. all the way.  By half way Kibler got by Infante and had Dvorscak in his cross hairs but Infante had other ideas and slipped by Kibler.  In the end Angelica Timar finished second with Kibler coming back for third.

  Joel Smith led every lap to win the caution free Stage One Modified main.  Smith was like a bullet and devastated the rest of the field to make it win number eight.  Bobby Smith Jr. was third and making his return Billy Fisher finished third.

Hissim, Oraschin and Oraschin Beat The Heat  At Borger's

  Rich Hissim passed pole sitter Scott Miller in turn three and never looked back in All Star Slingshot action to claim the Hammerdown Dyno Services Challenge Award.  For those that don’t already know, the good folks at Hammerdown Dyno Services have posted a $10 bonus to the winner of any Friday night show that can beat their house car driven by Kurt Bettler throughout the 2010 racing season at Borger's.  If Kurt wins the money is rolled over to the next winner.  Owner Dennis Bettler, “ it is a small way we can help to give back something to the racers in these tough economic times. “  Hammerdown provides an affordable service which enables competitors to gain maximum performance from their motors along with other set up services.. 

  Hissim pulled away from the pack but soon Kurt Bettler put the pressure on Hissim to keep the Hammerdown award in the family.  As Hissim and Bettler were locked in a battle for the lead a fierce battle was developing for third spot.  Greg Zellman, JR Fulper and Brandon Azzalina were dicing in a tight pack soon to be joined by Michael Glass and Jim Peters.  As Hisssim edged out Bettler for the checkered flag JR Fulper made the pass on Zellman to finish third.

  In Wingless 600 Sprint action Rob Vivano jumped to the early lead with Tex Snyder on his tail.  The caution flag flew and on the restart Snyder got past Vivona.  Coming down the backstretch the leaders got together triggering the most violent double  flip in the history of Borger's Speedway.  Going into turn three Vivona’s car flipped end over end as high as the top of the third turn fence with Snyder flipping underneath.  As the dust cleared both drivers were badly shaken but had no serious injuries.

  Chris Oraschin inherited the lead and went on to win his sixth feature of the year.  A very impressive finish for Josh Darylrymple and Colten Rex rounded out the top three.  Darylrymple and Rex are two drivers looking to make the headlines in the near future.

Bealer, Camps, Godusky, Kibler, and Bob Smith Jr.

 Explode In Borgers Firecracker 40’s.

  Pat Bealer seems to have found a permanent home in Borger's Speedway Victory Lane.  Bealer backed up his Friday Wingless 270 win by taking the Borger's Firecracker 40 for Hoosier 270 Sprints. Clint Porvaznik took the early lead with Kaitlyn Oswalt blasting into second spot.  Nathan Hahn and Pat Bealer slipped by Oswalt on a restart and began to chase down Provaznik.  Taking the green on another restart the leaders got together starting an 8 car pile up that saw Steve Dzienis flipping down the frontstretch bringing out the red flag.When the race resumed it was Bealer, Dave Dronblaser, and Oswalt running one, two, and three for the duration.

  In All Star Slingshot action Bob Camps made it win number two for 2010.  Pole sitter Mike Moyer held the lead for the first three laps until Camps got by on lap four.  Camps started opening up a strong lead but soon the Azzalina brothers were hot on his tail.  A three car battle for the lead developed with Camps, Zach Azzalina, and Brandon Azzalina Brandon slipped by brother Zach but there was no catching the high flying Camps.  Camps, Brandon, and Zach Azzalina would take starter Bobby Stull’s checkered flag in that order.

  Once again Rachel Godusky made her way to victory lane in Rookie 270 action.  Zach Weidner took the early lead but soon Raymond Groff who has been running strong all year got by in turn one.  Groff opened up a good lead but Godusky got by Weidner and made a serious challenge to Groff.  Groff remained in control  and it looked like he was on his way to his first win when a bobble in turn four allowed Godusky to get by.  Groff finished second with Zach Weidner third.

  Bobby Kibler Jr. made it win number 5 in Jr. Slingshot action.  Kibler jumped into the lead but Amber Oraschin was determined to make his job difficult.  With Orachin putting the pressure on Kibler soon a battle developed for third spot with John Dvorscak and Joseph InfanteInfante got by Dvorscak making it a Kibler, Oraschin, Infante threesome to the checkered flag.

  Bobby Smith Jr. made it win number one in the Stage One Modifieds.  Smith led every lap with Kyle Rohner and Joel Smith in hot pursuit.  As the laps wound down Rohner and Joel Smith tried to close the gap but fell short in the caution free event.

A very happy Bobby Smith Jr. was joined in victory lane by his grandmother Evelyn Smith wife of the legendary Roy Smith.

VanHorn, Bealer, Oraschin Repeat Winners

 Bassett First Time Winner At Borgers Friday.

  Chad VanHorn has taken a liking to Borger's Speedway Wingless 600 Sprint racing.  In his first visit Chad won the "Battle In The Burg" and on his return trip found himself in victory lane once again.  Brett Smith who was a familiar name in Slingshot racing at Borger's outdrug pole sitter Tex Snyder to grab the lead going into turn one.  Soon point leader Chris Oraschin made his way through the pack and got in a two car duel with Smith.  Smith and Oraschin racing for the top spot tangled coming out of turn two and  VanHorn slipped by. Smith recovered and challenged VanHorn in a two car battle to the checkered flag with Van Horn coming out on top.  Smith finished second with Josh Dalrymple third.

  Pat Bealer who is no stranger to Borger's Speedway victory lane found himself on the concrete checker board once again.  Bealer jumped into the early lead but was overtaken by Louie Horvath on a restart and it appeared Horvath was on his way to his second Wingless 270 Sprint win of the season.  With Bealer hot on his tail Horvath got sideways in turn four allowing Bealer to slip by.  Brayden Winters also got by and chased Bealer to the checkered flag.  Winters finished second with Horvath third

  Since Jim Bassett made Borger's Speedway his Friday night home for All Star Slingshot racing he has turned in some impressive finishes.  Tonight would be his turn to make his first visit to victory lane.  Starting on the pole Bassett led every lap to take starter Rich Raidline’s checkered flag.  While Bassett ran away from the rest of the pack a torrid 5 car battle for second place developed with Jim Peters, JR Fulper, Greg Zellman, Rich Hissim, and Kurt BettlerFulper gained and held the number two spot with Bettler third.

Brandon Azzalina Wins Drake Memorial

 Steve Walters Picks Up First Hoosier 270 Sprint Win.

  When Borger's Speedway lost John Drake eight years ago Brandon Azzalina was six years old.  In his wildest dreams Brandon could not imagine that eight years later he would be one of the top All Star Slingshot drivers at Borgers' Speedway and win the most prestigious Slingshot event at Borger's Speedway the John Drake Memorial in memory of a man he never knew.

  At the drop of the green flag Rich Hissim took the lead from pole sitter Mike Moyer.  Soon Brandon Azzalina and JR Fulper were hot on his tail.  In the later stages Matt Dealaman would also join the chase.  Lap after lap the top four cars were locked in position evenly spaced for the duration of the race.  Rich Hissim took the checkered flag but failed to pass post race tech giving the win to Azzalina.  Since his move from the Jr. Slingshots, Azzalina’s rise to the top has been nothing short of phenomenal making this race the highlight of his career.  JR Fulper finished second with defending 2009 point champion Matt Dealaman third.

  Since  moving  from  Rookie 270 Sprints to the Hoosier 270 Sprints Steve Walters had not achieved the success he had enjoyed in the Rookie class.  Numerous times Steve had victory in sight only to have Lady Luck deal him a crushing blow.  Tonight that would all change.  From lap one Walters set  a blistering pace with JJ Uliana hot on his tail.  Soon Tony Scerbo and Pat Bealer would make their presence known.  As the laps wound down Bealer got by Scerbo but there was no catching Walters and UlianaComing out of turn 4 on a late race restart  it appeared the unthinkable was going to happen again as Walters motor sputtered.  Walters recovered and took starter Bobby Stull’s checkered flag and made his way to victory lane.  JJ Uliana finished second with Pat Bealer third.

  Rachel Godusky took the lead on lap one in Rookie 270 Sprint action and soon opened up a straightaway lead.  Coming from the rear point leader Tiffany Wambold quickly closed the gap but did not have enough for the high flying GoduskyWambold had to settle for the bridesmaids spot with Raymond Groff in his best run of the year third.

  The last few week in Jr. Slingshots it has been a Kibler, Infante, Dvorscak, Oraschin show and this week would be no different.  Joseph Infante led the parade with Bobby Kibler Jr. and John Dvorscak in hot pursuit.  Soon Amber Oraschin would join  the hunt.  This is how it would stay with Infante picking up his third win of the year and increasing his point lead.  Bobby Kibler Jr. finished second with Amber Oraschin sneaking by Dovrscak for third.

  In the make up feature for the Stage One Modifieds it was Joel Smith all the way.  Soon Pat VanVarik and Kyle Rohner would make their way to the front but would be no challenge for Smith.  Smith took the win followed by VanVarick and Rohner.

  In feature number two for the Stage One Modifieds Pat VanVarick took the lead from pole sitter Rich Hissim.  Soon a three car battle developed between VanVarick, Kyle Rohner, and Joel Smith.  Rohner jumped into the lead with Smith on his tail.  A few laps later Smith would head to the pits with mechanical problems putting VanVarick in the runner up spot.  Bobby Smith Jr. would round out the top three.

 

All Star Slingshots…  Brandon Azzalina, JR Fulper, Matt Dealaman, Stan Friedman, John Drake, Matt Massone, Terry Frey, Marty Reinsmith, Bob Camps, Matt Kocher, Mike Moyer, Justin Zucal, Ryan Raidline, Brandon Berger, Zac Azzalina, Cory Haab, DQ Rich Hissim.

Vivona And Zellman New Faces In Borger's Friday Victory Lane.

 

  A serious accident which closed Route 33 held Friday night car counts below their normal levels but the on track action was at it’s best.

  Rob Vivona jumped to an early lead in Wingless 600 Sprint action and never looked back.  Vivona lead every circuit with Tex Snyder, in his best run of the season hot on his tail.  While Snyder made several moves for the lead Vivona held him off and took starter Rich Raidline’s checkered flag.  Luke Schostkewitz who ran strong all night finished third.

  Port Murray, NJ’s Greg Zellman’s 2010 season has been one of frustration.  Numerous times this year Zellman had victory snatched from his grasp in the All Star Slingshot division.  Tonight it would all change.  Zellman jumped to an early out dragging pole sitter Scott Miller to turn one.  From that point on it was all Zellman.  Point leader Kurt Bettler was soon on his tail but while trying every trick in the book could not overtake the high flying ZellmanZellman pulled into victory lane for the first time with Bettler settling for second.  Scott Miller looking for his second win of the season had his hopes dashed by an ill handling car but held it together to finish a solid third.

  Amber Oraschin added to her win list in the Jr. Slingshots and extended her point lead in the Friday night series.

  Bobby Kibler Jr. scored win number 4 in Jr. Slingshot action.  Kibler quickly opened a half  straightaway lead but the real battle was for second spot.  Joseph Infante who was involved in an early race tangle charged through the pack to set up a tight race for second place.  Friday night winner TJ Lilly joined the hunt with John Dvorscak close behind.  The three cars staged an exciting duel with Infante prevailing for second and Lilly third.

  Tony Scerbo who has been plagued with problems all year had it all together and picked up his second Hoosier 270 Sprint win of the season.  Scerbo took over the lead from Steve Walters early in the race and was soon joined by Pat BealerBealer was glued to Scerbo’s back bumped the entire distance with Scerbo edging Bealer  out at the finish line.  Kaitlyn Oswalt ran a strong third the entire race bringing it home for Grandad Bill.

  Zach Weidner backed up last week’s win in Rookie 270 Sprints by once again visiting Borger's Speedway victory lane.  Ryan Neil took the early lead but was soon in a two car battle with Weidner.  Weidner, who had to go to the rear because of an early wreck, charged through the pack to take over the lead and in another spectacular performance, opened a straightaway lead over Tiffany Wambold who lost a motor in the heat and came from the rear to finish second.  Rachel Godusky was third.

  Kyle Rohner who is having great success in big car racing still has his heart with the small cars.  Rohner charged to the lead and put the Gary Phillips 11X in victory lane in Stage One Modified action.  Rohner jumped to an early lead and was soon joined by Joel Smith who was sidelined with mechanical problems.  Rich Hissim was in the runnerup spot with John Coon third.

A Mid-Summer Nights Scream At Borger's.

 As storms rumbled throughout northeast Pennsylvania the management at Borger's Speedway took on Mother Nature and won.  The screams from the fans drowned out  any noise that Mother Nature could dish out as the near capacity crowd was treated to some of the fiercest action of the 2010 racing season.

  The highlight of the night was Twin 15 lap features for the Rookie 270 Sprints.  In feature number one the storm front that came screaming through was the speedster from Bath, Pa Zach WeidnerZach has been turning faster laps each week and this race was all his from the drop of the green.  Weidner took an early lead and set a blistering pace to win his first Rookie 270 Sprint feature of his career since moving up from the Quarter Midgets.  As the laps wound down Tiffany Wambold who came from the rear after an early race tangle tried every trick in the book to get by Weidner but it was not to be. Wambold finished second followed by Rachel Godusky.

  In feature number two Rachel Godusky finally got the monkey off her back and took starter Richard Raidline’s checkered flag.  Newcomer Luke Krobath finished a respectable second with Tiffany Wambold third. Rachel Godusky was the overall Rookie 270 Sprint winner and with another outstanding performance Zach Weidner finished second.  Point leader tiffany Wambold finished third.

  The flashes in the Hoosier 270 Sprint main were not lightning but JJ Uliana.  Last year Uliana won a Friday night 270 main with a borrowed motor but his quest was for a Saturday night feature win.  Uliana  stormed around the 1/7 mile oval with determination to get the job done.  Kaitlyn Oswalt chased Uliana most of the race but was finally overtaken by Pat Bealer.  Ed Kenderdine slipped by for third spot after coming from the rear due to numerous mishaps.  Darin Bartholomew also got by Oswalt for fourth  with Kaitlyn finishing a strong fifth.

  The real storm hit with all it’s fury in All Star Slingshot action with Terry Frey picking up his first win of the season.  Frey had victory in his grasp a number of times this season but tonight he was not to be denied.  Cody Kline was glued to Frey’s back bumper the entire race and soon Kurt Bettler made it a vicious three car battle for the lead.  The three leaders took the white flag and got together coming out of turn two.  Frey and Kline recovered and drag raced to the finish line with Frey winning by a half a car length.  Brandon Azzalina got by Bettler to finish third.

  The mini twister hit with John Dvorscak taking his second Jr. Slingshot win of the year. John jumped into the lead from his second place starting spot on lap two and never looked back.  Amber Oraschin dogged Dvorscak most of the race but Joseph Infante came on strong to nip Amber on the white flag lap.  Infante finished second with Amber Oraschin third.

   In the make up feature for the Jr. Slingshots “All Hail Broke Loose” in the name of  Bobby Kibler Jr. as he made his third visit to Borger's Speedway’s victory lane.  Kibler quickly built up a straightaway lead over John Dvorscak who finished second followed by Joseph Infante.

  Co-promoters Steve Heckman and Rich Raidline along with Borger's Speedway owners Glenn and Ruth Borger and the entire Borger's Speedway family would like to express their deepest sympathy to Friday night announcer and Saturday night starter Bobby Stull on the loss of his mother.  Thoughts and Prayers to Bobby and the entire Stull family.

  Derek Krum has been knocking on the door of a Rookie Sprint feature win the entire season and tonight the door opened.  Krum who has been running stronger each race ran a flawless race and entered Borger's Speedway victory lane. Rachel Godusky came on strong during the closing laps but was no match for Derek.  Godusky settled for second with Zach Weidner third.

  The All Star Slingshot main had to be the “Edge Of Your Seat” race of the night.  It appeared to be a battle of the veterans as Terry Fry jumped to an early lead.  Soon Richie Hissim and Stan Friedman were in “Hot Pursuit” locked in a three car battle for the lead.  As the laps wound down and the five to go was given the youngster Zach Azzalina in a breathtaking move dove under the three cars racing down the backstretch and came out on top to the delight of the screaming fans who by now were on the edge of their seats.  Azzalina made his second trip to victory lane this year followed by Terry Fry and Stan Friedman.

  Ed Kenderdine once again made his way to victory lane in the Hoosier 270 Sprints.  Kenderdine drove a masterful race but it was not an easy job.  Bruce Leote led the early go arounds but was soon chased down by Kenderdine.  Pat Bealer joined the hunt and got by Leote for second spot.  Bruce Leote who is having an outstanding season and has a feature win in his future  finished third.

  Chris Oraschin continued his winning ways to capture his 4th Wingless 600 Sprint feature of the 2010 racing season at Borger's.  In only her second appearance at Borger's, Geordan Farry proved to be a thorn in Oraschin’s side as she turned in an outstanding performance challenging Oraschin the entire 20 lap distance.  In a last lap effort to grab the lead her car got out from under her but Geordan will be a lady to be reckoned with in the future.  Rhett Long who is also having a tremendous season finished second with Tex Snyder third.

  Michael Glass jumped into the lead at the drop of the green and led every circuit to win the Wingless 270 Sprint main at Borger's Friday night.  Kurt Bettler ran a strong second but could not catch the high flying Glass.  Bettler settled for second while Jeff Ubel rounded out the top three.

  Nick Snyder was like a rocket ship from the drop of the green and easily won the All Star Slingshot feature.  Snyder kept increasing his lead while the real battle was for second place.  Last week’s feature winner Mike Glass came from deep in the pack to challenge second place Kurt Bettler.  After some tight racing Glass got by Bettler for second with Kurt having to settle for third.  Amber Oraschin continued her winning ways winning the Jr. Slingshot feature.

Chad VanHorn Best At The Burg.

 Chad Van Horn took advantage of Keith McIntyre’s misfortune to win the $300 to win "Battle In The Burg" for Wingless 600 Sprints.  McIntyre led from the drop of the green until mechanical woes caused him to spin coming out of turn four for the checkered flag.  Chad VanHorn who kept the pressure on McIntyre scored his first win in his first appearance at Borger's Speedway.  Rob Vivona finished second with Luke Schostkewitz third.

  In the Wingless 270 Sprints Pat Bealer dominated the field to park the Chuck Clark 44 in victory lane.  Dave Dornblaser kept the pressure on to finish second with Eric Trautman third.

  For the second week in a row Gregg Zellman was the man to beat  and appeared to come out on top in All Star Slingshot action.  Zellman dominated the entire main and took the checkered flag but triumph turned to heartbreak as Zellman failed to pass post race tech.  Michael Glass who took the Snyder Stairs Climb The Stairs Challenge  starting last came from the back to win the $100 bonus.  A persistent Richie Hissim finished second with Jim Conroy third.

  Bettler then  hopped into his All Star Slingshot to win his second Friday night main of the year.  Greg Zellman, in his best run of the season, led every go around until Bettler slipped by with three to go.  John Drake also got by Zellman to finish second with Greg finishing third.  A feature win is in Greg Zellman’s reach in the near future.

Bealer Repeat Winner...  Wambold 5 Time Winner...

  Saturday night racing action continues hot and heavy at the 1/7 mile Saylorsburg oval under perfect spring time racing conditions.  Eleven year old Bobby Kibler Jr. made the move from  quarter midgets to Jr. Slingshots saying he wanted to go fast and fast he went.  Kibler jumped to the lead at the drop of the green and burned up the Borger's oval leaving the rest of the field in his dust.  Running strong the entire season Bobby took starter Bobby Stull’s checkered flag a half  lap ahead of the rest of the field.  Clint Miller finished second with John Dvorscak third.

   Tiffany Wambold found her way back to victory lane but the path to get there is becoming tougher as the rest of the Rookie 270 Sprinters are learning the tricks of the trade.  Early leader Derek Krum, in his best performance of the year, held off Wambold the first half of the race until Tiffany slipped by.  Rachel Godusky coming from the rear made a valiant charge but with Wambold’s  straightaway lead needed a restart which did not happen to make a serious challenge.  Wambold made it win number five with Godusky second and Alex Reinsmith third.

Scott capped off a perfect evening by setting fast time, winning his heat and then winning the All Star Slingshot feature.  Nick Snyder was second followed by Kurt Bettler.

  The Oraschin family continues to dominate victory lane in Friday night action at Borger'sChris Oraschin won his second Wingless 600 Sprint feature of the year with Mike Freed, in his first appearance of the year, finishing a close second.  Freed put the pressure on Oraschin the entire race but did not have quite enough to snatch the lead from Chris.  Freed finished second with Geordan Farry rounding out the top three. Tex Snyder hooked the inside berm in turn three a did a spectacular series of end over end flips.  Snyder was uninjured and was able to finish the race.

Two Win Streaks End and One Gains Steam.

  The win streaks of Tiffany Wambold and Joel Smith came to an end but Amber Oraschin doubles Friday and Saturday night Jr. Slingshot wins for the second week  in a row.

  Defending Hoosier Hoosier 270 Sprint champion Pat Bealer finally got the monkey off his back and made his way  to Borger's victory lane.  Ed Kenderdine challenged Bealer on numerous occasions but Bealer increased his lead and took a commanding win.  Dave Dornblaser rounded out the top three.

  In Rookie Sprint action Rachel Godusky survived a crash filled rookie main and broke Tiffany Wambold’s four race win streak.  The two lady wheel twisters  swapped the lead back and forth with Godusky coming out on top.  Zach Weidner finished second with Wambold third

  Youngster Brandon Azzalina showed the veteran All Star Slingshot racers the quick way around Borger's Speedway taking his first win of the season.  Once Brandon gained the lead he never looked back and left the rest of the pack in his dust.  Stan Friedman finished second with Brandon Berger third.

  The big question is can anyone stop Amber Oraschin in Jr. Slingshots?  Nick Timar driving the race of his career had other ideas.  Nick led from lap one and fought of a hard charging Dylan Martin with Oraschin in hot pursuit.  Heartbreak set in as the white flag dropped with Timar and Martin tangling giving Amber the opportunity to duck under the leaders and take her fourth straight win.  Nick Timar managed to salvage second with John Dvorscak third.

  Gary Phillips said he had set two goals in Stage One Modified racing with his driver Kyle Rohner.  One was to win the West End Fair Nationals which Kyle did and to set a new Stage One Modified track record.  Kyle set a blistering pace and broke the Borger's Speedway Stage One Modified track record and ended Joel Smith’s three race win streak.  Rohner led from lap one and was not to be caught.  Taking the checkered flag something broke but the smoking 11X limped it’s way to victory lane.  Joel Smith finished second with Bobby Smith Jr. third.

Jim Peters and Amber Oraschin repeat at Borger's

  Rob Pajauis making his first trip to Borger's Speedway quickly found his way to victory lane in the Wingless 270 Sprint main.  In a thrilling two car battle with Borger's defending champion Pat Bealer, Pajauis was determined to hold his lead with Bealer hooked to his rear bumper.  As the laps wound down Bealer made several attempts to get under the high flying Pajauis but could not pull it off.  Louie Horvath in his best run of the year finished third.

  Rhett Long made his first trip to victory lane and also became the youngest Wingless 600 Sprint winner in the Friday night series.  Long made it a perfect night by winning his heat and set a blistering pace to the checkered flag over Tex Snyder.  Colton Rex rounded out the top three.

  Jim Peters jumped to the early lead in All Star Slingshots and fought off a hard charging Rich Hissim.  As Peters and Hissim fought for the lead JR Fulper had other ideas.  In a last lap pass Fulper dashed under Hissim with the three cars finishing under a blanket.

Stan Friedman turned 70 years old last week and celebrated his birthday in victory lane winning the AllStar Slingshot main event.  The youth of Borger's Speedway was not to be outdone as Zach Azzalina turned in another outstanding performance to finish right on Friedman’s rear bumper.  Completing the senior sandwich 64 year old Rich Hissim finished third.

Jon Dvorscak overcame an early race mishap coming  from the rear to score his first Jr. Slingshot win.  Joseph Infante proved that persistence pays off and after coming from the rear two times scored a very impressive second place finish with Taylor Eccles third.

Hot Action On Cold Night At Borgers

Saturday April 10, 2010.

  With temperatures in the 40’s  race  fans were treated to hot  track action on the 1/7 mile Saylorsburg oval.  In 270 Sprint action Tony Scerbo’s long string of bad luck came to an end as he captured the first point race of the 2010 season.  After burning a piston in the heat his father Dave replaced the piston by feature time with Tony scoring a strong win.  Defending 2009 champion Pat Bealer  followed Tony across the finish line with Bruce Leote in one of his stongest finishes a close third.

  Tiffany Wambold dominated the Rookie 270 feature starting from the pole and leading every lap to take starter Bobby Stull’s checkered flag.  Rachel Godusky finished  a straightaway behind with Derek Krum third.

  In Allstar Slingshot action Rich Hissim took the checkered flag with  Azzalina brothers Zach and Brandon, who just moved up from  Jr, Slingshots, hot on his tail.  Hissim failed post race tech and the win went to Zach Azzalina who with brother Brandon thrilled the spectators with a stellar performance.  Terry Fry rounded out the top three.

  Once again the Jr. Slingshots were the hot ticket.  Dylan Martin proved that last week’s win was no fluke becoming the season’s first repeat winner.  It looked like Joseph Infante was heading for his first win when a late race bobble opened the door for a spectacular move by Martin coming out of the fourth turn, ducking under Infante and Amber Oraschin for the win.

  Sometimes you make good decisions in life and sometimes you make bad decisions.  Those were the words of Gary Phillips as he beamed in pride referring to the decision he made in putting Kyle Rohner in the driver’s seat of his 11X Stage One Modified.  Gary related how this was the best decision he ever made in his long involvement in racing as a driver and owner.  Kyle Rohner, the defending West End Fair Nationals Stage One Modified Champion put the sleek yellow racer in Victory Lane over a hard charging Joel Smith who tried every trick in the book but could not get around the high flying Rohner.  Smith finished second with Pat Vanvarik third.

  270 Sprints…  Tony Scerbo, Pat Bealer, Bruce Leote, Jeff Ubel, Dave Dornblaser, Chris Orashin, Louie Horvath, Steve Walters, Steve Metzgar, Tiffany Wambold, James Neuman, Jevon Ahner, Steve Lipina, Todd Singley, Jarrett Ahner, Kaitlyn Oswalt, JJ Uliana, Ed Kenderdine, Mark Manieri,  Kurt Bettler, Clint Porvaznik, Nathan Hahn.  DNS Kevin Pritchard.
