RAIN CLAIMS RACE #3
Rain hit Path Valley Speedway tonight right after the B-Main. The A-Main cars went onto the track but didn't get anywhere and were sent back to the pits for good. The B-Main had its fair share of A-Main type racing, but a rain break in the middle might have changed the whole week. Shane Lewis, the point leader had a smoking car before the rain hit and didn't know if they would have made it the whole race, but the rain allowed them to fix the issue. Also an amazing battle between Ryan Wilson and Aussie Liam Williams for the final transfer position.
Ben Murphy, last years runner up at the Path Valley race was to start on the pole, he actually tied Brett Schoenly in passing points but was awarded the pole due to the pill draw. It didn't take Schoenly long to get comfortable behind the wheel of a 600 again!
This race is official and will not be made up. Everyone got an equal cut of the payoff and show up points fall all. A-Main cars get 5 extra for making the main.
A total of 67 cars made the trek and battled it out, but only 26 made the cut. The A-Main starting Line Up was set to be....
1.) 77 Ben Murphy; 2.) 91 Brett Schoenly; 3.) 25s Tim Buckwalter; 4.) 84 Rodney Glass; 5.) 2c Heath Hehnly; 6.) 44 Mike Dicely; 7.) 18 Jake Murphy; 8.) 5k Mike Rutherford; 9.) 5x Tyson Hall; 10.) 16 Aaron Spahr; 11.) 14t Tyler Walton; 12.) 29s Scott Sawyer; 13.) 17c Brad Cox; 14.) 1j Ryan Greth; 15.) 3z Brock Zearfoss; 16.) 5B Austin Laskey; 17.) 99x Eric Bodine; 18.) 2r Ryan Smith; 19.) 26r David Reinhardt; 20.) 17 Travis Saner; 21.) 19z Isaac Sneeringer (B-Main); 22.) 11 Jimmy Brookens (B-Main); 23.) 55L Shane Lewis (B-Main); 24.) 47m Bill Unglert (B-Main); 25.) 7 Timmie Barrick (B-Main); 26.) 29 Ryan Wilson (B-Main)

TRAVIS SENTER CLAIMS RACE #2
A wild night of racing that included a flip by one Murphy brother while leading and a disqualification the other Murphy brother when he was light at the scales saw Arkansas driver Travis Senter declared the winner of night number two of PA 600cc Micro-Sprint Speedweek at Lincoln Speedway Sunday night.
Penske Racing employee Ben Murphy came home from Concord, NC and came from 21st starting spot to take the lead from Senter on lap 15 and cross under the checkered flag first in the 25-lap "A" main. But he was light at the scales after the race, and the win was awarded to Senter.
Senter was also one of the cars Ben's brother Jake passed for the lead coming off turn two of lap 14, but the pass involved contact, and Jake flipped down the backstretch just after taking the lead from his fourth starting spot.
Seventh-starting Heath Hehnly crossed third at the finish, but was awarded second after the Murphy disqualification. Third through fifth were Shane Lewis, Ryan Greth, and hard charger Tyler Walton (who started 20th). Sixth through tenth were Brett Schoenly, Ryan Smith, opening night Speedweek winner Mike Dicely, Jimmy Brookens, and Mike Rutherford.
Ninety-six (96) micros turned out for the Lincoln Speedweek show, with cars qualifying through for the "A" main through a series of 20 qualifying events (two for each of the cars), a "C" main, and a "B" main.
The "A" main was lined up heads-up by points gathered in the heats, with Tyson Hall gathering the most points and starting the pole. Hall failed to finish the feature and was credited with 18th finishing position.

MIKE DICELY CLAIMS RACE #1
Mike Dicely shut out his competition by quickly taking the lead on the first lap and never letting go. After gathering the second highest point total in Sprint Bandit Qualifying, Dicely took advantage of his front row starting spot and dominated the race.
The 25 lap main event saw 20 caution free laps, before Mike Rutherford, who was running third, came to a stop in the fourth turn. Dicely’s opponents saw a chance to win and attempted to steal his victory lane moment, however Dicely showed his endurance as he lapped cars one by one and didn’t let up.
“You pass lapped cars just like anyone else. They won’t move over for you,” said Dicely while in victory lane. Dicely drove the Hyper Racing sponsored #44 to victory lane for the second time this season at Trail-Way Speedway.
Although it seemed like Shane Lewis might overtake him in the closing moments of the race, Dicely kept strong and eventually ran out with the win and $2,500 top prize for the first race of the PA 600 Speedweek.
After the caution flew on lap 23 for a spinning Isaac Sneeringer, Lewis again tried to steal the lead from Dicely on the restart. The two made contact, both drivers maintained control and Dicely kept the lead.
Lewis crossed in second with Robbie Kendall, Luke Thomas, and Brian Racine completing the top five. Sixth through tenth were Keith McIntyre Jr., Jimmy Brookens, Tyler Walton, Aaron Spahr, and Tim Buckwalter. Brian Racine accumulated the most points in qualifying.
