SPEEDSTR - MARIO PAGE WINS LAST LAP THRILLER AT GRANDVIEW SPEEDWAY

Grandview Speedway, June 6th, 2010:  It was a day where nothing went as planned for the SpeedSTR drivers at Grandview on Sunday. Just when the race teams had the hot set-up, track conditions changed and it was back to square one.

 

With plenty of wheel to wheel action during the heats, it was only a matter of time before the passing would start in the A Main as 17 cars took to the speedway for the 20 lap Memorial Day Madness SpeedSTR event.

 

Just as the green waved the racing had already begun by the time the full field made it into turn 1 as the Langhorne Motorsports cars of Gary and Kyle Hieber found the outside line to their liking and were setting sail towards the front.

 

ARDC regular Ryan Smith hopped into a SpeedSTR and was setting a blistering pace as Fred Rahmer, Jr. Brandon Rahmer, Brad Missimer, Kaitie McCardle and Don Zrinski were all contending for 6th through 10th.While these 5 were squaring off, Mario Page and Gary Huber were starting to challenge for the top spot with The Hieber Bros Chris Stockham and Doug Rose following closely behind.

 

A yellow on lap 12 reset the field and an 8 lap shootout was soon to happen. Smith got the restart green and had the middle line working to perfection as Page was looking for the quick way around the speedway with Huber in close pursuit.

 

Brittany Wixon now was entering the picture as she put the 15 into the top 8 and was hoping for a few more laps to continually improve, but the white flag was now waving and Smith's line shifted to the bottom which gave the high flying Page # 10 the whole top side to make his move and he did just that on his way to claiming the $800 top prize for the SpeedSTR winner.

Ryan Smith settled for the runner-up spot with Gary Huber getting the final podium finish of 3rd aboard his 11H.

 

Chris Stockham of the 600 Mod series was wheeling the Valvoline VR1 STR for the first time and was very impressive bringing home a top 5 finish. Hard luck struck Kaitie McCardle as she could not avoid a spinning competitor and suffered front end damage aboard her family owned # 11. Brad Missimer took the controls of the Bulldog Racing # 5 and ran one of the fastest laps of the day until handling problems sidelined the Grandview 358 modified regular.

MARIO PAGE IS "SUPER" IN SPEEDSTR WIN AT GRANDVIEW SPEEDWAY



Myerstown, PA - May 9, 2010 - "Super" Mario Page of Hillsborough, NJ enters victory lane in only his second SpeedSTR appearance.

Doug Rose of Syracuse, NY drew the pole after winning the second Valvoline dash earlier in the day with Don Zrinski (Piscataway, NJ) who set fast time lining up second to bring the exciting STR field to the green. Rose would set the early pace, pulling out to a healthy lead as Page worked his way into second from fourth starting position. By the halfway point the track began to take rubber in the lower groove as Rose continued to lead running the upper line over Page and the Johnny Muffler 28 of DJ Macri (Waretown, NJ) when the first caution flew. On the ensuing restart Page darted under Rose to take command of the STR feature event. Rose quickly dropped down to the hub and got on Page's rear bumper with Macri close behind. Meanwhile the action mid pack was intense with Tyler Potts (Milford, NJ) who had made his way up to the fourth position after starting tenth on the grid was battling with Gary Huber (Riverdale, NJ) who started from the tail of the STR field.

The front three of Page, Rose, and Macri continued to set the pace. Potts would eventually get by Macri on a restart and set his sights on Rose. Page pulled out to a 3 car advantage as Potts pressured Rose for second. The two would make contact, with Rose going around on lap 22.

The following restart saw 2009 SpeedSTR National Champion, Billy VanInwegen move into fourth with Kyle Hieber (Langhorne, PA) the previous STR feature winner cracking the top 5. As the STR's came for the white flag, Page would lead comfortably, but Hieber, Huber, and the Kiwi Farms 33 of Doug Sherwood (Piscataway, NJ) were all battling for the 5th position. The three would make contact entering turn one with Rose and Zrinski looking for room by, but all competitors kept control and continued down the backstretch. Hieber would grab the hard fought fifth position. Page led the pack to the $800.00 checkered flag, followed by Potts, Macri, VanInwegen, and Hieber.

STR notes: The 14 year old Rahmer boys, Freddie Jr. and Brandon both were on hand in their SpeedSTR's this weekend. Freddie Jr. pitted mid race with a right rear flat and Brandon came home a solid 9th in his STR début.

17 SpeedSTR's were on hand at Grandview Speedway. The division continues to grow each and every season.
