USAC Honda .25 “Dirt Triple Crown” Stops at Phoenixville for 60th Anniversary
(Phoenixville, PA) – The Phoenixville Club celebrated 60 years of racing this weekend hosting Round 1 of the 2015 USAC “Dirt Triple Crown” Series. The car count was 320 for 2 full days of racing and 68 total races with 2 rounds of practice Friday night.
“We always love coming to Phoenixville,” said Kyle McCain, Director. “USAC is proud of all the work that the club does to make their track ready for a National Show. We appreciate the members who help out all over the facility and the hospitality is great. It’s cool for our drivers to see a bunch of fans pack the stands. The facility is such a premier dirt track, is well maintained, has a great track prep crew and our participants love the food from the Snack Shack.”
Phoenixville is known to be the oldest QuarterMidget Club of all time and boasts the largest membership. Although the track has had to relocate a few times, the dedicated people who have raced at Phoenixville have long passed on traditions that have continued to make the club thrive.
There were 18 Red Rookie’s and 4 Blue. A true testimony of how diligently the club members of Phoenixville are in building for the future. “This was certainly a record number of Rookie’s for our National Tour,” said McCain.
Kenneth Beinhower of Dillsburg, Logan Falini of Spring City, & Stephen Yuhasz of Birdsboro all crossed the line first in Red Rookie. Amanda Angstadt took the checkered in the Blue Rookie division. Tanner Vandoren of Walnutport, PA was the winner in Jr Honda, Ethan Bill of Vineland, NJ won Sr Honda and Logan Snyder of Whitehall, PA was the victor in Hvy Honda. Honda Lt 160 was won by Flemington, NJ driver Kevin Holt, while Levi Crowl of Clear Spring, MD was the winner in Hvy 160. Gavin Miller of Orefiled, PA, took top honors in Jr Animal, and Mike Thompson was declared the winner in Sr Animal. A record number of Un-restricted Animal drivers (12) saw Anthony Chrobak of Effort, PA take the win. Lt World Formula was won by Johnathan Gallagher of Oxford, PA and Ray Kable of Sykesville, MD was the winner in Hvy World Formula.
Opening Ceremonies were held on Saturday after heat races while the track crew did a bit of prep, providing a great racy surface that lasted till curfew. All but one 2014 USAC National Dirt Champions were in attendance. They marched into the newly designed Victory Lane first, followed by all of the Phoenixville driver’s and lastly all other participants. There weren’t many photographers who had a wide enough lens to capture the large group. Courtney Yost of USAC, presented the club with a beautiful commemorative plaque. “Oh man, we certainly weren’t expecting this,” said Jim Fink, Club President. “He raised the plaque overhead - On behalf of the Phoenixville Club, we accept,” said Fink, as everyone applauded. The Phoenixville Posse, 4 QuarterMidget drivers, Hanna Flood, David Fink, Shane Duncan & Kane Rogers, played ‘America the Beautiful’ before it was time to begin the lower mains. Sunday Morning opened with B mains.
Gold, Silver and Bronze Awards were distributed to the top 3 in each class on Sunday, following Tech, as well as all Rookie Drivers received participation medallions. Phoenixville gave all the winners a commemorative ‘original’ box from Hershey.
The USAC Honda .25 “Dirt Triple Crown” continues to Hagerstown June 26 – 28, 2015. Cerre Gordo, IL will be stop #3, July 24 – 26 and the series will culminate with the finale at Eldora Speedway during the 4-Crown event scheduled, September 25-27.
