Danny Bouc and Decker Swinehart Claim Their First Grandview Wins

Grandview Speedway held their 4^th points race of 23 scheduled events under cool and breezy conditions.  The two division program had 36 modifieds and 32 sportsman competitors on the grounds. 

Danny Bouc picked up his first modified win on the hill at Grandview in only his 5^th outing in Norm Hansell’s 357 entry.   In the sportsman division Decker Swinehart also made his first ever trip to the Grandview victory lane.

The 30 lap feature had Brad Brightbill take the early led over Eric Biehn and Danny Bouc.  On lap 6 the first caution of the night flew for a tangle on the front stretch that retired Doug Manmiller, Kevin Graver and Ron Haring Jr for the night.  On the ensuing restart Danny Bouc moved from 3^rd to 1^st until the second and final caution of the night came out on lap 17.  Brightbill then reclaimed the lead on the final restart but Danny Bouc was able to retake the lead on lap 19 and hold off a late race charge by Craig Von Dohren to take his first trip to the Grandview victory lane in Norm Hansell’s 357 entry in only his 5^th race this season at Grandview.

The top ten was rounded out by Craig Von Dohren in second followed by Timmy Buckwalter, Brett Kressley, Jeff Strunk, Brad Brightbill, Louden Reimert, Jack Butler, Jared Umbenhauer and Kyle Weiss.

Craig Von Dohren posted his second runner-up finish in a row and closes in on points leader Brett Kressley who finished 4^th.

Decker Swinehart came from the outside pole to take the lead on lap 3 and hold the off a closing Joey Vaccaro by a comfortable margin and taking his first career Grandview win.

The top ten was rounded out by Joey Vaccaro, Bryan Rhoads, Kenny Gilmore, Cody Schantz, Kyle Smith, Kyle Lillick, Ebby Ridge, Brandon Edgar and Lex Shive.

The top three of Swinehart, Vaccaro and Rhoads all recorded their season best finish as well as Cody Schantz in 5^th place.

Decker Swinehart joins Dylan Hoch as crate winners this season and Brain Hirthler is the lone sportsman motor winner with two wins.  So the current score sheet show crates 2 and Brian Hirthler sportsman motor 2.
