Information and Results from Racing at Hiester's H.O. Raceway
Tonight Thursday March 21, 2024, was the 10th Sprint Race of the season, and was sponsored by Strapped In TV Show with Mike Feltenberger the annual reverse race. There were 18 Racers in the Pit area for tonight's event. Taking the win was Shane Hiester. Shane won 4 segments on the night. Second went to Scottie Heilman. Scottie won 5 segments on the night keeping his podium runs going in the Sprint car class. Third went to point leader Sheldon Hiester. Sheldon won 3 segments on the night. Fourth went to race sponsor Mike Feltenberger. Bear won 2 segments on the night. Rounding out the Top 5 in fifth was Dakota Barlet. Dakota didn't win any segments, but had all lead lap runs throuhout the night. The rest of the field finished up as follows: 6-Elmer Santiago (3 wins), 7-Andrew Cremer (1 win), 8-Dennis Barlet, 9-Tyler Oswald, 10-Tom Hiester (1 win), 11-Brian Saylor (1 win), 12-Jim LeVan, 13-Brian Zerbe, 14-Gilbert Zerbe, 15-Dave Comley, 16-Michael Hutt, 17-Jazmin Santiago, and 18-Steve Smith Sr. We had 8 different segment winners tonight. The racing was close as the battle for the win came down to just 4 pieces of track, and Shane and Scottie raced side by side all night long so they earned it. Jazmin Santiago struggled tonight crashing out of two races on the night. Mike Feltenberger had a fast car, but had a little chatter on the restart and with the amount of cautions we had tonight it hurt him a little bit. Tom Hiester had a goo run going, and then came to his arch nemesis Lane 3 and crashed out with 11 laps which if he wouldn't have he may hve had a Top 5 finish. Fourth to sixth were separated by only 19 track sections after 7 Lanes tonight so the close racing was spread throghout the field. Dave Comley drove his new USA1 Sprint body to a good finish coming home 15th. Tyler Oswald turned in another Top 10 run as he has become a nice addition to the weekly field the second half of the season. Thanks to Mike feltenberger for sponsoring tonight's racing action paying the entry fee and he gave oue 3 t-shirts. Thanks to Shellhammer's Dirt Track fo sponsoring the Cash Dash and it finished this way: 1-Tyler Oswald, 2-Dave Comley, and 3-Elmer Santiago.
