MILL HALL – Jim Yoder of Selinsgrove, Pa. came out on top in the C&E Containers, Freyco Racing Limited late model feature last Friday night at CCMS.
Other winners were AY Schilling of Jersey Shore in the T&C Transportation Pro- Stocks, Eric Boozel of McVeytown, Pa. and Ryan Miller of Howard, Pa. in the Glenn Hawbaker FWD Four-Cylinders. Micro-sprint action found Jake Hummel of Sunbury, Pa. getting his first ever win at the speedway in the 600’s while Quinn Roberts of Berwick, Pa. won the 270 Micro-sprint feature.
Next Friday night June 2nd, the first of two appearances by the Mason-Dixon limited late model series will be in action, along with the FWD Four-cylinders, and 270 and 60 micro sprints.
In the Limited late model feature event, Jim Yoder drove to is second win in three weeks, and in doing so set a new unofficial 25-lap nonstop track record of 6:50.305. Pole sitter Jeremy Ohl of Jersey Shore set the pace for the first two laps of the feature with Mike Smith, of Renova, Pa., using the outside of the racing surface to grab the lead on lap three, Smith held that spot until Ohl went back underneath him on lap nine to retake the lead. Jim Yoder hung close in the third spot, until lap 13 when he went to the outside of Smith for second spot and one lap later, again using the high part of the track, passed Ohl for lead on lap 14, and lead the rest of the way. Jim is racing an older MBH racecar that his son Dylan use to race. “This is a really god car, it seems to really work good here, we ran it at a few other places and we did ok, then after the practice they had here we changed one thing, on the car and it has been good ever since”, noted Jim. “I have to thank S&R repairs, Fogelman trucking G&R excavating, Strouse electric, Miller racing engines, and my crew a wife, I could not do this without all the help”, Jim concluded. Jeremy Ohl held on for second, with 10th starting Matt Cochran charging to a third-place finish, then came Denny Fourney and Mike Smith. Heats for the 13 limited went to Yoder and Luke Hoffner."
