SELINSGROVE, Pa. - Nate Snyder of Halifax became this season's leading sprint car feature winner at Selinsgrove Speedway when he drove to a convincing victory in Saturday night's Fourth Annual Paul Stine Chevrolet National Open for 358 Sprint Cars.
Snyder started the 2004 season seeking his first career win and ended the year as the track's leading winner with his fourth victory of the year in the $3,000-to-win Open at the wheel of the Highland's Tire Service No. 3 entry.
Former three-time track champion Chad Layton of Harrisburg returned to his old stomping grounds and set fast time with a lap of 18.140 on the half-mile oval. Mark Freeland of Newport won the six-lap dash to earn the pole position and also set a new track record of 1:57.66 for the distance.
The 358 Open ended the 2004 season for the Cindy Rowe Auto Glass sprint cars at Selinsgrove Speedway with Jason Shultz of Carlisle clinching the track championship.
Peanut Heintzelman of Troxelville won his first race of the season in the 20-lap pro stock main event.
Polesitter Mark Freeland powered into the lead at the start of the sprint car main event. Freeland was chased by second-place starter Jason Shultz and fourth-place starter Nate Snyder. The pace was slowed after one lap when Dave Emory crashed his No. 50E in turn three.
When the race resumed, Freeland continued to set the pace with Shultz and Snyder in tow. As the event neared the halfway point, the leaders began to encounter slower traffic, creating a thrilling high-speed chase for the lead.
On lap 15, Tony Smolenyak's No. 48 stopped on the backstretch, breaking up the battle between Freeland, Shultz, Snyder, sixth-place starter TJ Stutts and third-place starter Mike Walter. On the restart, Freeland continued to set the pace while Snyder charged into second and set his sites on the leader.
On the 19th circuit, the caution unfurled when Stan Fleming spun in turn three. Under caution, Shultz entered the pit area to change a flat tire and rejoined. On the lap 22 restart, Snyder stormed around the outside of Freeland in turns three and four for the lead.
The next caution on lap 26 necessitated a fuel stop. For the final four laps, Snyder streaked away from the field and posted a 2.78 margin of victory over Freeland, Stutts, Walter and eighth-place starter Davie Franek.
Second-place starter Matt Johnson took the lead at the start of the pro stock feature and led through lap 13 when third-place starter Peanut Heintzelman drove underneath him for the lead in turn four.
Heintzelman and seventh-place starter Jake Buck raced in Johnson's shadow up until that point in the event. When Heintzelman secured the lead, he was able to pull away from the field and post a one-second margin of victory over Johnson, Cory Kepner, Tim Krape and Jason Schmidt.
