GUESS WHAT? It rained again this weekend. All the Saturday night tracks were rained out. The cancellations came early in the day. Weather forecasters said it was 100% that it would rain. They were right. It rained so much that I am told even the ducks are disgusted. That ark that guy was building, we are told it sank. And some tracks have been considering boat racing. However this weekend they will all be trying again and hoping for a weekend without rain.
    WHEN TONY STEWART came to Williams Grove Speedway on June 5 he climbed into a dirt track modified and won the 20 lap CARQUEST Challenge race. He beat Dave Blaney to the finish line. Billy Pauch, who had an impressive early run, seemed to drive a different race in the second half than he did in the first half, and that allowed Stewart and Blaney to get by. Some say that in the early evening driver's meeting officials told all the drivers that the 20-lapper was pretty much an exhibition event and Stewart and Blaney should be left to look good.
Apparently having Tony Stewart and Dave Blaney there for the special night was not a big deal for many since the crowd was somewhat disappointing but those on hand really enjoyed the show.
800 fans were able to go home with a Tony Stewart autograph.
And Fred Rahmer, who we are told had a wheel fall off his modified in the CARQUEST Challenge race (only three cars finished), came back to win his first 410 sprint car feature of the season. It was the 53rd win of his career at Williams Grove Speedway. Second spot went to Cris Eash followed by Todd Shaffer and Lance Dewease.
    ON FRIDAY NIGHT the 410 sprints were back in action. The top four finishers from the Thursday night sprint race got to start at the back of the pack in the Friday night feature.
If one of the four back of the pack starters was able to win a $10,000 bonus would have been paid. It did not happen.
Greg Hodnett won the 25-lapper followed by Sean Michael, Mark Smith, Keith Kauffman and Rick Lafferty. The first of the "fab four" from Thursday night show to finish was Lance Dewease in sixth.
Cory Haas won the 358 sprint car feature.
At Williams Grove Speedway this Friday, June 13, 8 p.m. twin 20-lap features for sprints will be presented.
    DOUG HOFFMAN won the NASCAR Dodge Weekly Series Modified feature on Friday night. His first win of the season and it came in a new ride. Hoffman replaced Steve Bottcher in the Klinger Motorsports/Kerry Hertzog Auto Sales #77 owned by Dennis "Moose"Eisenhart. Hoffman is the current point leader in the modified division at Big Diamond.
Craig Whitmoyer won the 20-lap main event for the Sportsman Modifieds and Doug Hendricks continues to dominate in the Roadrunners winning on Friday night and that means he has won all the features run this season. The Doorways Unlimited KARS 358-Sprint Series will combine with the North Carolina based American Outlaw Action Series sprint organization to run at Big Diamond Raceway on Friday night, June 13th. Racing starts at 8 p.m. The Selinsgrove Speedway sprints are also invited to participate.  The NASCAR Modifieds will be part of the show as will the Roadrunners.
