SHORT STORY RESULTS
KYLE MERKEL AND JOE MASIADO WIN FAN APPRECIATION NIGHT FEATURES AT GRANDVIEW SPEEDWAY ON SATURDAY
BECHTELSVILLE, PA August 1, 2010 . . . Kyle Merkel was able to win the first Steel Block Bandits Late Model feature race of his career Saturday night earning $2,000 for his winning effort in the 40-lap feature race. Joe Masiado took home the $1,000 first place money in the 20-lap feature for the Sportsman stock cars in the Fan Appreciation Night racing action at Grandview Speedway.
Merkel was able to lead the 25-car starting field to the green with Ron Kline right behind. Brian Shuey charged up to second and challenged Merkel for the top spot. With 20-laps in the record book Mike Kellner took second and by the 25th lap he took the lead. Kellner’s good fortune was short lived as he went to the infield on the 26th lap, due to mechanical problems, giving the lead back to Merkel. For the final 14 laps Merkel was able to hold on to the top spot and ride to the win by a narrow margin over Brian Shuey. Third spot went to Randy Stoudt followed by Ron Kline and Andy Fries.
In the 20-lap main event for Sportsman stock cars Joe Masiado had a relatively easy time of it leading the entire race to finish comfortably ahead of Brad Brightbill. Third spot went to Craig Whitmoyer followed by Mike Lisowski and Kevin Beach.
The entire night of racing was completed in little more than 2 hours.
The Mavericks Motorcycle Club will be using the Saturday, August 7th night of racing as a Alex’s Lemonade stand fund raiser for cancer. NASCAR 358 Modifieds and Late Models will be featured in the doubleheader show. Racing starts at 7:30 p.m.
