Dylan Mickey has been knocking on the door to Victory Lane all season. The Chambersburg driver finally received an answer at Path Valley Speedway last weekend.
Competing in the 270 Sprints, Mickey picked up the first win of his career, zooming to the checkered flag ahead of Fort Loudon’s Zach Glass and Greencastle’s Bradyn Kuhn. Aidan Crouse, of Greencastle, took sixth.
It was a satisfying win for Mickey, a consistent performer who is close to cracking the Top 10 of the Path Valley points race.
Mickey wasn’t the only local Dylan to win at Path Valley. Dylan Shatzer, of Hagerstown, surged to victory in the 305 Sprints over Doug Dodson and Zach Rhodes. Also at Path Valley, the 600 Sprints included finishes from Waynesboro’s Darren Kauffman (5th) and Fayetteville’s Camden Cooper (10th), while two area drivers landed Top 10 finishes in the Thunder Cars feature: Mercersburg’s Devin Thomas (8th) and Chambersburg’s Gunnar Walls (9th).
Speaking of Walls, he was firing on all cylinders to pick up his second win at Bedford Speedway on Friday. He conquered his Late Model Sportsman heat race, before going from fifth to first in the 20-lap feature. Walls was followed to the finish line by Greencastle’s Brian Booze (5th) and Brandon Bard (7th), and Hagerstown’s Eddie Cornett (10th).
Hagerstown Speedway was racing last weekend and two divisions, the Late Model Sportsman and Xtreme Stocks, were chock full of area drivers in the Top 10. The Late Model Sportsman race was highlighted by the efforts of Mercersburg’s Kyle Lee (2nd) and Treyton Lee (5th), and Greencastle’s Booze (3rd) and Scott Palmer (9th). The Xtreme Stocks featured top finishes from Hagerstown’s Keith Reed (3rd) and Blake Reed (5th), as well as Fayetteville’s James Speelman (8th).
Kelby Friese, of Chambersburg, was a podium finisher in the East Coast Legends feature at Winchester Speedway. Friese claimed third place to lead a group of area drivers that included Greencastle’s Logan Jones (6th) and Fairfield’s Seth Kearchner (8th) and Lincoln Kearchner (10th).
Finally, Greencastle’s Todd Walls had a sharp evening at Clyde Martin Memorial Speedway on Saturday. Competing in the Micro Midget 500 feature, Walls jumped from seventh to second.
Williams Grove, Lincoln, Port Royal, and BAPS Motor Speedways all enjoyed a scheduled weekend off from racing.
