Krummert Takes 2nd Annual Lumadue Memorial at Hidden Valley; Shaffner gets first Career in Pure Stocks
For Immediate Release August 20, 2022
Clearfield, PA - Garrett Krummert of West Middlesex took home the laurels after winning the Second Annual Fay Lumadue Memorial for the Small Block Modifieds on Saturday night at Hidden Valley Speedway as the Lumadue Family and Little’s Drive In sponsored the night's action.
Ryan Shaffner of Woodland took home his first career Amsoil Pure Stock feature win while Levi Ardery of West Decatur picked up his second Scaife’s Racing Supply Semi Late feature, Todd English of Clearfield won his third Street Stock feature and “Wild” Bill Hassenplug Gallitzin picked up his fourth Craig’s Welding and Fabrication Four Cylinder feature.
The Scaife’s Racing Supplies Semi Lates were led to Jon Shipley’s green flag by Justin Owens and Levi Ardery, with Ardery shooting in the lead at the start and Owens falling into second with Gary Little in third before the first of several cautions would slow the action. On the restart, it was still Ardery in control, as Little was able to steal second from Owens heading into the first turn. While working down the backstretch on lap 9 and heading into the third turn, Little was able to wrestle the lead from Ardery as Owens continued to watch the battle in front of him.
As Little was setting the pace, Ardery wasn’t through, he was fighting back, and nipping away at Littles lead, and on lap 16, Ardery was side-by-side with Little out of the fourth turn and had the lead at the line, with Little now in second and Owens still sitting third. Lap 17 saw Little pull to the pits, his night was over, as Owens took over second and tried to reel in Ardery what the final caution waved on lap 18 for a crash between Eric Lucas and Jeremy Lippert. The two lap shoot out the finish the race saw Ardery hold off Owens for the win with Steven Scaife third, George Bailey was fourth and Matt Howell was fifth. Heat wins went to Owens and Ardery.
Garrett Krummert and Tom Holden sat on the front row for the start of the Fay Lumadue, Small Block Modified Memorial race, going 38-laps in memory of Tim Owens. The green flag saw Krummert take the lead and Holden sit in second with Kyle Fink in third. By lap two, Fink was in second and chasing Krummert, but Krummert was not about to share the lap money with anyone else, as he led the entire 38-laps.
The race was slowed to a halt on lap 13 when Bobby Garvey pulled into the infield and crawled from his car before collapsing. EMS Personnel from Rescue Hose and Ladder Co. evaluated him, and he was ok. Garvey told officials his transmission exploded beneath him while at speed. Thankfully he was not hurt.
The remainder of the feature saw Krummert leading the way with Fink trying to steal the lead, but always coming up short. The rest of the way it went unchanged. The official top five was Krummert winning, with Fink second, Tom Holden was third, Jimmy Holden was fourth and Shannon Casher was fifth. Heat wins went to Fink and Casher.
The Street Stock feature saw Chad Rougeux lead the opening lap, before Mike Bordt took the lead on lap two. One lap later, it was Todd English taking the lead and that was the last challenge for the lead, as English went on to get his third win of the season. Bordt was second with Rougeux third and Glen Layfield in fourth. The heat was won by English.
Joe Kephart got off the front row before Ryan Jones and led the opening lap of the Amsoil Pure Stock feature, with Ryan Shaffner in second. As the field exited turn four on lap two, Kephart got high and lost several positions, as Shaffner took the lead and never relinquished it. The top five at the finish were: Shaffner, Lester Hudson, Ryan Jones, Bob Holt and Kephart. Heat races were won by Kephart and Jones.
Luke Hoffner and “Wild” Bill Hassenplug led the Craig’s Welding and Fabrication Four Cylinders to the start, as Hassenplug took the lead and Hoffner was in second. Two cautions on lap two slowed the race, as the rest of the feature went non-stop. Hoffner was trying everything he knew to get by the leader, but Hassenplug wasn’t letting the top spot go easy, as Hoffner ran out of time at the end of the 15-lapper. When Shipley waved the checkered flag it was Hassenplug taking the win, Hoffner was a close second, his son Brandon Hoffner was third, Jimmy Ogden was fourth and Tyler Gill was fifth. Luke Hoffner, Hassenplug and William Kephart won the heats.
