Heimbach Wins Gunn Memorial For Fourth Time
Adams Wires Field For Late Model Victory
SELINSGROVE, Pa. - Blane Heimbach of Selinsgrove drove to a convincing victory in Saturday night’s 32nd Annual Jack Gunn Memorial for sprint cars at Selinsgrove Speedway. The special event drew a stellar field of 47 entries and marked the seventh consecutive year that the Gunn Memorial was a challenge race between the speedway’s weekly 358 sprint cars and the traveling United Racing Company (URC) 360 sprint cars.
The $3,500 win was Heimbach’s first of the season and 34th career at the track behind the wheel of the Creasy Signs/Goff Racing No. 12 360 sprint car. Heimbach also became only the second driver to win the Gunn Memorial four times, tying the record held by Todd Shaffer of Millerstown when the annual tribute race to the late Hall of Fame race track promoter was run as a 410 sprint car event.
Davie Franek of Wantage, N.J., was the night’s fast qualifier with a lap time of 17.621 in a 360 sprint car. The Gunn Memorial was the second event in the inaugural $120,000 six-race Mach 1 Chassis Mid-Atlantic 360 Sprint Car Championship Series. Pat Cannon of Etters won the series opener at Selinsgrove on March 31 and finished second in the 30-lap Gunn Memorial after leading the first nine laps from the second starting position.
Tony Adams of Sunbury wired the field for his first win of the season and the 16th of his career at the track in the 25-lap late model feature. Adams became the fourth different winner in as many races this season.
John Fowler Jr. of Montandon scored his first career win in the 12-lap roadrunner race and became the division’s third different winner.
Sprint car drivers JR Berry of Boyertown and Eric Tomacek of Abbottstown were transported to an area hospital with undisclosed injuries sustained in separate racing incidents at the track.
Selinsgrove Speedway will present the 6th Annual Collier Paving & Construction Roadrunner 20 plus 358 sprint cars and late models at 7 p.m. Saturday, May 19. Track gates will open at 5 p.m.
