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 Dad’s 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 Kenawell’s 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.
