Minersville, PA May 29, 2015 Justin Grim would set the early pace in the Lias Tire 358 Modified Feature event Friday evening at Big Diamond Speedway. He was able to hold off the hard changing Meme DeSantis until lap 8 when DeSantis would take over the top spot coming to the line. Duane Howard was the next contender that Grim would have to deal with as he tried to hold on to the runner up spot, but Howard was on a mission to catch up to the race leader and passed Grim on lap 13 and brought along John Willman and Billy Pauch Jr. as they all made their way past Grim and he fell in line in fifth place. Howard began to real DeSantis in and as the laps wound down, Howard was able to make the pass for the lead on lap 22 and from their would go on to win the feature. DeSantis would finish second followed by Billy Pauch Jr, John Willman and Rick Laubach. The GME Hard Charger Award was earned by Steve Young for starting 21st and finishing 12th for a gain of 9 positions. The heats were won by Billy Pauch Jr, Justin Grim and Meme DeSantis.
The USS Achey Sportsman had a little trouble during their main event Friday evening and had a red flag flying shortly after the green flag had waved to start the race for a tangle that saw JR Fulper and Mike Mammana tangle going into turn three and sending Fulper flying through the air. All drivers were ok, but none of the cars were able to continue and Billy Moyer Jr also sustained damage from the incident that made him unable to continue the race as well. When the green flag flew again, it was Tim Fitzpatrick setting the pace followed by Shawn Light. AJ Gerhart was able to take over the runner up spot, and held on to it until Doug Hendricks made his charge to the front and he brought Mike Lisowski along with him, shuffling Gerhart back to fourth place. On lap 13, the leader, Fitzpatrick, had issues that caused him to pull off the track and hand the lead over to Doug Hendricks. Doug would take over that top spot and never look back and was able to visit Victory Lane, followed by Mike Lisowski, AJ Gerhart, Shawn Light and Wayne Witmer. The Kim’s Creations Hard Luck award would go to JR Fulper after his mishap and the GME Hard Charger goes to Doug Hendricks for gaining 10 spots after starting 11th and winning the race. The heats were won by Glenn Rowan, Mike Mammana and Charles Fayash.
The Savage 61 Roadrunners put on a great show for the fans Friday in their 20 lap feature event. Jesse Krasnitsky and Joe Kavanaugh would bring the field to the green flag. Jim Kost would slowly work his way towards the front, waiting for his chance to take over the top spot. Following him through the pack was Bruce Ditzler, who started in last place, after not being able to start his heat event due to mechanical issues. Kost would find himself taking over the top spot, followed by Tim Fitzpatrick, who wanted to win as well, but it would be Kost making it to the checkered flag first, followed by Tim Fitzpatrick, Bruce Ditzier, TJ Fitzpatrick and Terry Kramer. The Red White and Blue Autos Hard Luck award was awarded to Jon Schlauch after loosing a wheel and axle and making him unable to finish the feature event. The heats were won by Andrew Fayash III and Jim Kost.
The Slifko Fabrications Street Stock feature was led on the first lap by Chris Derr until Jeremy Becker would take over the lead of the race on the second lap, but by lap four it was Jasen Geesaman who would once again find himself in the top spot and pulling away from the field. Geesaman would just dominate the class and despite how hard Becker tried, he was unable to make the pass for the lead and would be passed by Jeff Haag for the runner up spot on the final lap, pushing Becker back to third place. Rounding out the top were Rich Bossinger and Chris Derr. The heats were won by Chris Derr and Jeremy Becker.
