Tremont builds on amazing career, adds another win
WEST LEBANON — The high banks at Lebanon Valley Speedway (LVS) have played host to thousands of races throughout 56 years of operation and a Tremont was a part of most of them. But not until 1979 did everything change, when Kenny Tremont Jr. took to the speedway for a 30-year reign at the Valley of Speed.
With weather being such a major issue as of late, the skies were finally clear for an entire night of racing action. The first order of business was a makeup Pure Stock1 race that had Chard Arsenault visit victory lane. Then in Pure Stock4, also from last Saturday’s schedule, Johnny Chapman scored the win.
Rifenberg Construction ordered up a full schedule of events for the night. The mighty big block modifieds took to the speedway for their 30-lap feature event. Matt Quinn led the field to the green flag aboard the 34Q with John Ruchel’s 7 sharing the front row.
The 25-car field charged into the first turn as the racing got under way. But the caution flew for Don Ackner’s 64 slowing in turn 3. Quinn was still up front on the restart with Ruchel and Rich Salisbury in tow through turns one and two.
Deep in the field the usual suspects were marred in heavy traffic. Andy Bachetti, Donnie Corellis and Tremont Jr. began their charge from the sixth and seventh rows. The field was settling in for a dicey race as the 518 of Kyle Sheldon charged into second.
Tremont was the first to break into the top five and soon charged into second by lap 9. Caution flew for a slowing car on the backstretch which bunched the field for a side-by-side restart. Quinn charged out front but Tremont was on fire and darted out front to pull away from the field.
The caution flew a few more times but it was not going to effect the legendary Sand Lake Slingshot, as the 115 notched another victory in his history at the high banks, even after losing his motor on the last lap. Corellis wrestled the 57 up to second spot and was followed by Bachetti, Quinn and Guy Sheldon to complete the top five.
Next up was the 20-lap Pro Stock feature event with Nick Hilt and Chad Jeseo out in front of the field. Nick Hilt’s 17 took control of the 29-car field early while everyone jostled for position. The caution flew several times for the next handful of laps but Hilt held on to the top spot with the 324 of Jason Casey hot on his heels.
By lap 13 Casey had taken over the top spot and began to check out on the field. That was all he needed to score the win, followed by Hilt, Mike Middleton, Kevin Arnold and Jay Casey to complete the top five. Cord Becker scored the win in Budget Pro Stocks.
The Sportsman division was next up as the 20-lap feature was slowed just four times by cautions; but it was not going to deny Kolby Schroder from scoring the victory. Kyle Hoffman charged to second, followed by Chad Pierce, Alan Houghtaling and Frank Harper in the top five.
Bachetti won the special Constructors 10-lap Clash that included a pit stop with a tire change. Also, the Pure Stocks had their four feature events. In Pure Stock1 Chad Arsenault scored his second win of the night. In Pure Stock2, James Hatch took the checkers. Pure Stock3 was won by Ray Hall Jr. and Pure Stock4 was won by Doug Olds.
The 4-cylinders were won by Don Curley and Frank Sorrento.
NBT Bank presents Saturday’s events with a special $500-to-win Pro Stock Shootout. All classes will be in action including the Budget Sportsman Double Features.
