Selinsgrove Speedway will present a four division show of 358 sprint cars, late models, pro stocks, and roadrunners at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 18, sponsored by Reinhart Food Service. The roadrunners will also run a 12-lap makeup feature from July 21. Track gates will open at 5 p.m
In the 358 sprint car feature, fourth-place starter Phil Walter passed polesitter Scott Wilson for the lead at the close of the first lap. Two laps later, seventh-place starter Cody Keller drove by Wilson for the runner-up position. On the fourth circuit, ninth-place starter Pat Cannon powered into third.
Cannon reeled in Keller in a battle for second and took over the position on the fifth lap. Then a race for third unfolded between Keller and fifth-place starter John Smith. By lap 15, Walter began to encounter slower traffic, which allowed Cannon to reel-in the high-flying leader.
The caution flag unfurled on lap 22 when Wilson spun in front of the leaders in turn four. With the field regrouped for a restart, Cannon applied heavy pressure on Walter for the race lead and took the front spot with an inside pass through turns three and four.
At the checkered flag, Cannon was victorious by 1.3 seconds over Walter, eighth-place starter TJ Stutts, 10th-place starter Mark Smith, and 17th-place starter Jason Shultz.
