The Rock
August 14, 2010- Bill
Brown Sr. can from deep in the field to win the
20-lap Allegany Scrap sponsored make-up feature.
Early leader Kurt Welsh was fighting to hold off
Crocker and Brown when he spun in turn four on
lap seven. That left Brown to get the lead from
Crocker and hold on the rest of the way to the
finish by two car lengths. Matt Wallace was
third while Welsh fought back to fourth and Pete
Neal was fifth.
The second Classic Racing
Series feature ended with redemption for Welsh
after he snuck by the leaders on the white flag
lap for the victory. Crocker and Brown resumed
their battle from the first race and seemed to
have the race to themselves until a caution with
five laps to go. Crocker had led every lap until
Brown got by with three laps to go. Crocker
fought back to the inside and as the two raced
into turn three, they slid high and left the
bottom open for Welsh. Welsh drove through the
opening and on to victory over Crocker, Joe
Snodgrass, Brown and Wallace.
Wallace Rolls to
Victory Lane
July 24,
2010-Matt Wallace scored his first full field
feature win Saturday night at Susquehanna
Speedway Park. The Mt. Airy Coatings 578 car
backed up a heat race win with a dominating
performance in the 20 lap Foundation Flight
Training sponsored feature event. Wallace was
hounded early by the 12 car of Crocker, and then
late in the race, the 112 of Bill Brown Sr.
worked his way around Crocker to take his crack
at Wallace. Not having any of it, Wallace
persevered and rolled comfortably across the
stripe to score the win. Brown followed Wallace
with Crocker in tow. Pete Neal has the handle on
his new ride and brings the 21a County
Excavating machine home 4th followed by Series
newcomer Rick Christine in the sharp 74 car.
The Series takes a well deserved breather and
will regroup at The Rock on August 14th. Enjoy

for the lead involving Welsh, Neal and Crocker
was under way. With two laps to go, Jim Crocker
suffered a flat tire and pulled into the pits.

beautiful backdrop of Allegany County and the
roar of race cars hustling around the track, it
was a perfect Saturday night at the races. The
Series rolled into The Rock for the second time
in 2010. The 12 car of Jim Crocker won the first
heat by a half a car over the quick 578 of Matt

in the second heat with Welsh putting the County
Excavating machine on the pole for the 20 lap
Allegany Scrap feature event. Crocker jumped to
the early lead but the racing action could be
seen throughout the field. Wallace and Welsh
battled for position in each corner with the 578
car eventually setting his sights on the leader.
But coming up quick, the veteran, Bill Brown
Sr., came wheeling the 112 car towards the
front. Brown and Wallace swapped positions and
when Brown finally cleared Wallace he ran out of
laps to catch Crocker. In victory lane Jim
Crocker complimented the talent of the racers in
the Series, and thanked Ernie and Rick Jones for
their support. Brown comes home 2nd followed by
the nimble Wally's Iron Works/Mt Airy Coatings

season for the Series and the first appearance
at SSP. The action started early as Joe
Snodgrass and the 2009 Point Champion Kurt Welsh
claimed heat race wins. With some new faces on
the scene and some seat swapping going on, the
racing was action packed. Welsh and Snodgrass
led the field to the green flag for the 20 lap
County Excavating feature event. Snodgrass took
the 34 car to the front and held the top spot
for the first six laps, the 578 of Crocker
worked his way past the 34 car from the 6th
position, in the borrowed Matt Wallace machine,
to lead the next 13 circuits. With the only
caution flag flying on the white flag lap, the
field was bunched up for an exciting restart. It
took the veteran 19 ¾ laps to get it done but
Bill Brown Sr. slipped inside of Crocker coming
off the fourth turn and into victory lane. That
makes it two in a row for Brown, a great start
to the 2010 season. Crocker holds onto 2nd
followed by Joe Snodgrass. Kurt Welsh comes home
4th and Kevin Palmer brings the

added to his personal win total in appearances
of the Classic Racing Series at The Rock over
the years with another checkered flag in the
20-lap Allegany Scrap feature event.

position with his heat race win, started the
field to the 20 lap Allegany Scrap Feature
event. The 112 car of Bill Brown Sr., starting
on the outside pole, shot by Weaver with Jim
Crocker in tow in turn two on the second lap.
Shortly after, the 578 car of Matt Wallace
picked up third.
The field battled around the
newly groomed flat track throughout the event
until a caution at the halfway point for Weaver
and Cantwell temporarily halted Brown’s pace. At
the restart Crocker pulled to the inside of
Brown but was once again schooled by the
veteran. Wallace however was stalking Crocker
and Brown, showing great patience throughout the
event. The Wally’s Iron Works machine crossed
the line third behind Brown and Crocker. Weaver
and Cantwell crossed the finish line in fourth
and fifth.
