HIESTER'S H.O. RACEWAY

Tonight Thursday December 19, 2024, was the Fifth Race of the 2024-2025 Hiester's H.O. Raceway season for the Sprint Cars and tonight they went wingless style around Hiester's H.O. Raceway.  We had 26 drivers on hand for the event sponsored by GMI First Mechanical, and we had a tie for the victory tonight between Elmer Santiago and Sheldon Hiesterl, each driver won 5 races on the night.  Third spot went to Mike Feltenberger, winning 3 races on the night.  Finishing fourth was Shane Hiester, winning 4 races on the night.  Rounding out the Top 5 in fifthwas Andrew Cremer, winning 3 races on the evening.  The rest of the fiekld finished up like this: 6-Tom Hiester (2 wins), 7-Jim Petersheim (2 wins), 8-Jazmin Santiago (1 win) {Tie}, 8-Brian Zerbe (1 win) {Tie}, 10-Tyler Oswald, 11-Steve Windle, 12-Brian Sponagle (1 win), 13-Bob Windle (1 win), 14-Jim LeVan, 15-Brian Saylor, 16-Michael Hutt, 17-Gilbert Zerbe, 18-Dave Comley, 19-Joe Keesey Sr., 20-Thomas Hoover , 21-Steve Smith Sr., 22-Dave Figura, 23-Mike Sheidy, 24-Lyle Spiegel, 25-Joey Keesey Jr., and 26-Michael Windle.  We had another strong field on hand for the last race of the 1st half of the 2024-2025 season here at Hiester's H.O. Raceway, which has been a very successful and ejoyable season here so far.  We would like to thank everyone here for their continued support of the race track each week, and for making the racing and race night fun for all in attendance.  Ok now back to tonight's action on the track, with the sprints going wingless made them drive differently and you could tell, as some people had more fall offs then they normally do with the wings on top.  The one race the person doing the book said that the race had 14 fall offs collectively amongst the drivers and we still weren't at halfway in the race.  Tonight had some guys having better runs then normal too, as Dave Comely picked up 14 laps in  couple of his races, Jazmin Santiago picked up a race win and 4 other races on the lead lap with 14 laps a race, rookie Dave Figura missed out on his 1st race win of his career here at Hiester's as he was leading coming off of turn 4 for the checkered but jumped on it a little to soon and fell off losing it by 2 track sections, and Brian Sponagle made his 1st Sprint Car start in many years and won a race as well and four other races with 14 laps in each.  Lyle Spiegel continues to imoprove each week as he commented before leaving that this was his first race he didn't finish last or second to last here, so he left happy as well as turning 12 laps in 2 of his 6 races which he said was an improvement for him.  Micheal Windle made his 1st start with us this season as he is home for the holidays from the Pennsylvania Army National Guard for a couple weeks, so welcome home Michael and it was good having you here racing with us.  Tom Hiester turned in his best run of the season so far to date  winning 2 races on the night and running strong in all 6 of his races.  After all the dust stopped flying from the main event, we ran a Cash Dash sponsored by GMI FIrst Mechanical as well, taking the win in that was Michael Windle, followed in 2nd by Dave Comley, and finishing 3rd was Joey Keesey Jr.  We will now be off until the New Year, so Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all from us here at Hiester's H.O. Raceway.  We will return to action Thursday Night January 2, 2025 with the Mighty Modifieds and the night will be sponsored by Super Tires.  Warm-ups @ 6PM and the 1st Race to start around 7PM.  Hope to see you all then back at the track, and until then keep it in the slot.
