One of the hottest drivers in recent weeks has been Mason Beinhower, and at McGrewBid Motoplex on Thursday, it seemed like the red-hot Dillsburg driver was well on his way to winning his fourth race in a row.
After charging up from the fifth starting spot to the second position in the 600cc Wingless Micros race, Beinhower was finally stopped by the last obstacle on his journey: Trevor Gach.
Expertly working through lapped traffic, the 15-year-old Gach held off Beinhower to nail down his ninth win of the season, and first since Sept. 12. Gach’s opponent was impressed.
“I was putting down some fast laps getting closer to the leader, but some lapped traffic kept that from happening,” Beinhower said on his racing team’s Facebook page. “Congrats to Trevor on the win!”
Gach also competed in the 600cc Winged Micros and drove from seventh to fifth. He has logged Top 5 finishes in eight consecutive features.
At Path Valley Speedway, two area drivers landed Top 3 finishes in the East Coast Legends race: Chambersburg’s Kelby Friese (2nd) and Hagerstown’s Logan Jones (3rd). Zach Glass, of Fort Loudon, took sixth in the 270 Sprints. The main event at Path Valley, a Wingless Super Sportsman feature called the Iron 75, was won by Stoystown invader Brett Perigo.
Williams Grove Speedway closed out its 2025 season with the two-day National Open, with the “Fayetteville Flyer” Lance Dewease nearly pulling off the win on the first night. The National Sprint Car Hall of Famer won his 410 Sprints heat race, took third in the dash, and advanced from the third starting position to a runner-up finish in the 25-lap feature. Dewease faced more adversity the next day after finishing sixth in his heat race. He battled back by winning the B-Main and moving from 17th to 21st in the 40-lap feature.
Finally, two area drivers secured Top 10 finishes at Linda’s Speedway last weekend: Greencastle’s Todd Walls (7th in PA Micro Midgets) and Fort Loudon’s Zach Glass (9th in 270 Sprints).
