At Clinton County on Friday night, Linden’s Dale Schweikart made a last-lap pass to claim the Laurel Highlands RaceSaver sprint car feature by .202 seconds over Jared Zionkowski. It was his second win of the season.

Bradly Benton won the pro stocks, Mike Thompson won the 600 micro sprints, Jersey Shore’s Bobby Sanso won the 270 micro sprints and Cody Stover earned a victory in the four-cylinder division.

At intermission, kids bicycle races were held. The winners were Evendale’s Dylan Martin (6 and under), Milesburg’s Takoda Ripka (7-10) and Loganton’s Keron Yerger (11-15).

Clinton County returns to racing Friday for another five-division racing program with limited-late models, pro stocks, 270 micro sprints, 600 micro sprints and four-cylinders. Gates will open at 5:15 p.m. and racing will begin at 7:30.

On Saturday, it was a battle with Mother Nature at Selinsgrove Speedway with Ryan Kissinger of Bloomsburg scoring the biggest win of his sprint car career by emerging victorious in the 20th annual, 30-lap National Open for 360 sprint cars worth $5,000.

The 305 sprint main saw hometown driver Ken Duke Jr. score the victory while the limited-late model went to Jared Fulkroad.

After a week off, Selinsgrove Speedway will return to action on Saturday, July 25, with the Jeff’s Auto Body and Recycling Center Summer Championships for the Modern Heritage 410 sprint cars and the super-late models, plus racing action that includes the annual A & A Auto Stores Roadrunner 20.
