Lebanon Valley Speedway Press Release

Leckonby Gets Redemption As  Fireworks Fill The Sky! 
-By: Rodney Rescott                                   June 25, 2005 
West  Lebanon, NY:  It was near perfect conditions for an action packed  
night of racing and a pre-4th of July fireworks display, as Berkshire Bank and 
Capital Tractor presented the racing  spectacular at Lebanon Valley Speedway, 
Saturday  night. 
Fireworks filled the sky,  and the speedway, as the Advanced Auto Parts, 
Morrison powered #66 of Dave  Leckonby scorched the field to score a well needed 
victory, his first in  2005.  After destroying his primary  car in warm-ups, 
and wrecking the back-up on the last lap of the feature last  week, he and his 
crew thrashed to piece this car back together to come out and  capture the 
checkers! 
After a convincing victory  in the heat race, Leckonby served notice to the 
rest of the field that he was  not to be denied.  Still reeling  from some 
injuries he suffered last week from the wrecks, he labored his  Bicknell #66 from 
the inside front row, and held off a late race charge from the  ‘Sand Lake 
Slingshot’.  The S&S  Asphalt #115 of Kenny Tremont lead charge through the 
field, with ‘Fast’ Eddie  Marshall’s Marshall Oil #98 hot on his heals. 
A lengthy red flag flew  about 11 laps into the race when contact was made 
between the #88 of Ronnie  Dwyer, the Rifenberg Construction #21 of Donnie 
Corellis, and the K&F  Modular Homes #45j of Wayne Jelley, that left the cars of 
Corellis and Dwyer  ‘hooked’ together.  This required a  saw to separate them.  
After all was  cleared up, the wrecks, the heat, and Lebanon Valley’s 
All-Time Winningest  driver of Tremont on his back bumper, Leckonby never faltered.  “
During the red flag, and even during  the cautions, it was so hot in the car 
because of the heat.  But man, it feels so good to be here in  victory lane!�?? 
he added after thanking his crew for all their tireless  work.  Leckonby was 
followed by  Tremont, Marshall, J.R. Heffner, and Mel Schruffer rounded out the 
top  5. 
The heat was on for the  Sportsman class as well, as an early wreck around 
lap 3 took out the Team Goewey  KIA #2 of K.C. Goewey when Goewey made contact 
in the back of the SportsPage #09  PMC of Kevin Lynch causing several other 
cars to suffer damage, but managed to  continue.  The #09 was sent to the  pits 
for repairs, but didn’t return, along with Goewey’s #2.  The race continued 
with the #14 of Lorne  Browe out front, and looked like he was going to walk 
away with it, but a late  race bobbled, dropped him from 1st to 3rd in two laps,  
giving the victory to the #9H of Ed Harkins.  Following Harkins across the 
line was  Art Collins, Lorne Browe, Kyle Hoffman, and Don Miller to cap off the 
top  5. 
Pro Stocks had its second  first time winner in as many weeks as the #15 of 
Dave Blanchard ran away and hid  from the field, in a caution free Pro Stock 
event.  Even with #7 of Yetman closing in, it  was too much of a lead, and 
Blanchard sailed acrossed the finish line, followed  by Yetman, Steve Goodemote, 
Paul LaRochelle, and Kevin Arnold.  The Rookies had a first time winner in  the 
form of the #3 of Bill Hammell.  He was followed by Jerry Wright, Brian 
Keough, Jim Cronk, and Eric  Sbrega. 
Pure Stock action was hot  and heavy in the afternoon sun.  The  early crowd 
watched as the Pure Stockers sweated out several excellent and  exciting 
races.  Pure Stock #1 was  won by Brian Houghtaling, followed by John Chapman, 
Shannon McDermott, Marcus  Tifft, and Joe Walcott.  P.S .#2 was  captured by Larry 
Ball, second was Joe Landry, Paul Engwer, Howard Madsen, and  Jay Kreutziger 
Jr., finished out the top 5.  P.S. #3 was won by the Legendary Pete  Wiegand, 
followed by Phil Wood, Al Relyea, Jay Casey, and Nick Hilt.  And in P.S. #4, 
it was Ryan Coon, over  Chuck Lampe, Joe Chenail, Dave Steibel, and Rich  
Douglass. 
Next Saturday will be a  tune up for Thursday July 7th’s Mr. Dirt 2005, with 
Freihofer Baking Products presenting a  Night of Features, honoring our U.S. 
Armed Forces.  Also on tap will be a $3,000.00 to Win Modified Carquest
