Title: Selinsgrove Speedway - 10/8 Results Post by LMR on 10/09/11 at 5:24pm Selinsgrove Speedway October 8, 2011 ________________________________________ Eckert captures 13th Annual Foss Jewelers Late Model open at Selinsgrove Speedway SELINSGROVE, Pa. – Rick Eckert of York returned to the track where he got his start in late model racing and came out the winner of the suspenseful 13th Annual Foss Jewelers Late Model Open Saturday night at Selinsgrove Speedway. Eckert, who is the current World of Outlaws late model series point leader, collected $5,000 for his fifth career victory at the track and first since 1987 in the 30-lap main event. The win was his fourth of the season behind the wheel of the J&K Salvage sponsored No. 24E. A stellar field of 39 late models entered the track’s final race of 2011. Dan Stone of Thompson, the defending Open winner, had a near-perfect showing when he started out the night by becoming the first late model driver in track history to record a qualifying lap in the 18-second bracket, then won his heat and led the first 21 laps of the feature when a 10-cent bolt broke on the front end of his car and forced him to withdraw from the race. Stone’s new one-lap mark on the half-mile oval is 18.954 (100.589 MPH average). Track champions AJ Hoffman of Richfield and Bob Bussey of Northumberland won their ninth and sixth races of the season in the pro stock and roadrunner divisions, respectively. DH&L Fire Co. will hold the third annual race car flea market on the speedway grounds on Saturday, Oct. 29, beginning at 7 a.m. The speedway’s annual awards banquet is Saturday, Nov. 12, at the Sheraton Harrisburg-Hershey Hotel. Stone started on the pole and beat out second-place starter Rick Eckert into the first turn for the early lead in the Late Model Open. Stone set a torrid pace at the front of the pack while Eckert stayed within striking distance in the early laps of the race. On lap three, fourth-place starter Austin Hubbard put in a bid for second and passed Eckert for the position. By lap six, fifth-place starter Coleby Frye and 11th-place starter Jeff Rine were racing in the top five. The first caution flag unfurled on lap eight when Tony Adams came to a stop in turn four. On the ensuing restart, Dylan Yoder stopped on the frontstretch after several cars made contact. When the race resumed, an intense battle for second unfolded between Hubbard and Eckert as Stone began to stretch his lead. Ricky Elliot brought out the caution flag on lap 10 when his race car stopped in a cloud of smoke. At the same time, Hubbard brought his car to a stop and was able to rejoin on the back of the pack. On the lap 11 restart, Frye made a charge into second while Eckert raced in third. A seven-car melee in turn two nearly blocked the track and brought out the red flag on lap 16. Under the stoppage, Frye also withdrew from the race. On the lap 17 restart, Stone set the pace in front of Eckert, Rine, and ninth-place starter Jamie Lathroum. On the 21st lap, Eckert attempted a pass by Stone entering turn one when Stone’s car drifted high and fell off the pace due to a broken front end. Eckert inherited the lead at this point as a war on wheels took place between Rine and Lathroum for the second position for the duration of the event. While Eckert streaked away at the front of the pack to score the win, Rine and Lathroum see-sawed for the runner up position lap after lap. Racing off turn four on the final lap, Lathroum’s car bobbled in the outside lane and allowed Rine to slingshot into the second position at the checkered flag. Lathroum, 15th-place starter Scott Haus, and 12th-place starter Jim Yoder rounded out the top five.
