Stevie
Kenawell Makes it a Double Weekend

Stevie
Kenawell stared the weekend with the Laurel Highlands Sprint Series
winning at Dog Hollow Speedway and then followed it up at the Annual
Dads Night Out weekend at Hagerstown Speedway by wiring the
feature from pole to checkers.
The
event has been a highlight since the Laurel Highlands Sprint Series,
PASS and Virginia Sprint Series got together at Hagerstown a few years
ago for the once a year three series race.
Heats
started off the night with John Scarborough, Austin Reed, Doug Dodson
and Josh Spicer taking wins and Timmy Bittner winning the B main.
Stevie
Kenawell and Dylan Shatzer paced the field to feature green and Kenawell
took off with Shatzer in tow but the whole field was dicing for positions
in all grooves.
Quickly
it became a race for second as Kenawell really had the family-owned
sprinter dialed in just a straight arrow lap after lap as Austin Reed
made his way to second with Shatzer still third.
Even
as racers made huge gains headed towards the front spots, the race
lap after lap was Kenawells in hand even after a couple re-starts
he just stayed in the zone to keep second place at a distance as he
flashed under the waving checkered flag first.
At
the line it was Stevie Kenawell, Austin Reed, Dylan Shatzer,
Josh Spicer, Donny Hendershot, Mike Melair, Doug Dotson, Scott Lutz,
Garrett Bard, Kruz Kepner, Johnny Smith, Dylan Smith, Adrian Shaffer,
Logan Jones, Timmy Bitner, Joe Leavell, Jason Roush, Jimmy White,
Dominic Melair, Owen Dimm, John Scarborough, Jerald Harris, Brad Mellot
and Tylor Chochran.
Non Transfers Reed Thompson,
Jay Fry, Michael Alleman, Matthew Kline, Erin Statler, Matt Mullins,
Caleb Harris, Chris Ware, Matthew Smith, Daren Bolac, Eric Hendershot
and Logan Spahr.
Next Week on Friday
June 24th the VSS will be back to the beach with the second Fast Friday
race of the year at Dixieland Speedway in Elizabeth City, NC.
