HIESTER'S H.O. RACEWAY

Tonight Thursday March 27, 2025, was the Eleventh Race of the 2024-2025 Hiester's H.O. Raceway season for the Modifieds sponsored by Randy's Raceway of Topton, PA.  We had 27 Racers in the pit area to take part in the action.  Taking the win after the smoke cleared was Elmer Santiago.  Elmer won all 6 segments on the night cruising to victory.  Second went to Peyton Kochel.  Peyton won 5 segments losing to his Poppop Tommy Hiester at the finish line.  Third went to Shane Hiester.  Shane won 3 segments on the night.  Fourth went to Tommy Hiester.  Tommy won 4 segments on the night turning in his best run of the season in his new "Going Bananas" Davey Wenger #4 car.  Rounding out the Top 5 in fifth was Mike Feltenberger.  Bear won 1 segment on the night.  The rest of the fireld finished up this way: 6-Jim LeVan (1 win), 7-Randy Haydt (4 wins), 8-Sheldon Hiester (1 win), 9-Little T (2 wins), 10-Andrew Cremer (1 win), 11-Brian Sponagle (1 win), 12-Scottie Heilman (1 win), 13-Bob Windle, 14-Steve Windle, 15-Jim Petersheim, 16-Brian Zerbe, 17-Brian Saylor, 18-Tom Cremer, 19-John Kosmoski, 20-Gilbert Zerbe, 21-Dave Figura (1 win), 22-Hiram Durant, 23-Jazmin Santiago, 24-Thomas Hoover, 25-Lyle Spiegel, 26-Mike Sheidy, and 27-Michael Windle.  Thanks to Randy J. Haydt of Randy's Raceway for sponsoring tonight paying the entry fee, giving out 4 t-shirts, 3 gift certificates for a painted body from Tom Hiester valued at $12 each, and he bought a soda for all in attendance.  The racing action was close and intense all night with 2 races every car finished on the lead lap.  Congratulations to Dave Figura on his first segment win at Hiester's H.O. Raceway.  Peyton Kochel made a rare appearance for just the second time this season, and missed a perfect night by 2 pieces of track.  Tom Hiester ran very well all night even winning on Lane 3 in his best driving performance of the season of course beacause it's over LOL.  There were several gauntlets throughout the night as no matter which poker chip you drew you had a bullet around you.  Sheldon Hiester struggled again on Lane 3 with the Modified once again, but still finished in the Top 10.  Jim Petersheim struggled, but he was in the middlle of the 3 gerations of Hiester's sandwich (Tom, Sheldon, and Peyton).  21 of the 27 Racers had 80 laps, and 13 people won segments so almost half the field won a segment so it is tough.  Lyle Spiegel had some better runs again tonight with some 13's.  Tom Cremer made his first Modified start of the season, and ran consistant all night in some tough races.  We ran two Cash Dashes again tonight to get all of the sponsors in.  The first Cash Dash was sponsored by Woody Barnett and finished this way: 1-Andrew Cremer, 2-Scottie Heilman, and 3-Mike Sheidy.  The second Cash Dash was sponsored by RFRHS Craig Ray and finished like this: 1-Sheldon Hiester, 2-Mike Feltenberger, and 3-Randy Haydt.  Thanks to all of our race and Cash Dash sponsors for the 2024-2025 Hiester's H.O. Raceway season.  They were much appreciated by the racers.  Congratulations to Shane Hiester on his Modified Point Title.  We will let everyone know about the date for the banquet when we hear back from Victor E. Manuel's.  Once again Tom and Debbie Hiester want to thank all of the racers, sponsors, and friends for the support of another successful season at Hiester's H.O. Raceway.  Bear did the 50/50 as a 25/25/25/25 so we had 4 different winners tonight Conrats to the lucky winners.  We are done now until October, but Little T's Speedway in Meyerstown, PA has a double header left yet on Saturday March 29, 2025 with Warm-Ups at 10AM and 1st Race at 11:30AM.  Randy's Raceway just wrapped up his season Tuesday night, but will start up again in September. Thanks again to all for a great season.
