Franek Gets Long Overdue Victory & $2,000 Payday

SELINSGROVE, Pa. -- Davie Franek of Wantage, N.J., scored an impressive seven-second victory over Matt Horst of Richfield in Saturday night’s 25-lap 358 sprint car main event at Selinsgrove Speedway.

The $2,000 victory marked the fifth of Franek’s career at Selinsgrove and his first at the track since the 2005 season. He became the division’s seventh different winner in 2010.

Sprint car point leader Pat Cannon of Etters was involved in a fiery crash on the frontstretch on lap 10 of the feature. Cannon, a five-time winner this season, escaped injury.

A large crowd and strong field of race cars were on hand for the second annual Driver & Fan Appreciation Night sponsored by Jeff’s Auto Body & Recycling Center of Paxinos. Despite a power outage at 7 p.m., track officials were able to start the racing program using generators until power was restored by PP&L just before nightfall.

Selinsgrove Speedway will return to racing action at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, July 24, with a 30-lap summer championship race for late models paying $1,500 to win. Also on the racing card will be the 358 sprint cars, pro stocks, and roadrunners. Track gates will open at 5 p.m.

Second-place starter Bob Beidleman drove into the early lead at the start of the sprint car feature. On the second lap, fourth-place starter Matt Horst moved into striking distance and raced in the leader’s shadow for several laps.

On a lap four restart, eighth-place starter Davie Franek passed Horst for second and quickly closed in on Beidleman. Using the bottom of the race track through turns three and four, Franek took the lead racing out of turn four on the sixth lap.

While Franek was able to pull away from the field, Beidleman dueled with Horst for the runner up position. On the 10th lap, 10th-place starter Pat Cannon, who was racing fifth, was involved in a fiery crash on the frontstretch when an axle reportedly broke on his sprint car and contact was made with Larry Kelleher’s car, which then caused Cannon’s to erupt into flames. Cannon was able to escape the serious fire without injury.

When the race resumed, Franek stretched his lead to more than a straightaway. At the halfway point, Horst secured the second position,while Beidleman, fifth-place starter Josh Beard, third-place starter Cody Keller, and sixth-place starter Jason Shultz raced in the top five.

At the checkered flag, Franek posted a convincing seven-second margin of victory over Horst, Beard, Shultz, and ninth-place starter Blane Heimbach.
