Nouse Earn Williams Grove Speedway Sprint Titles
10/8/17
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Mechanicsburg
–
Williams Grove Speedway closed its 2017 racing season on October 6 having
crowned its season champions in both the Lawrence Chevrolet 410 sprint car
division and the HJ Towing & Recovery 358 sprint car division.
At the age of 21, young Freddie Rahmer of
Salfordville became the youngest driver to claim a Williams Grove Speedway track
title since Bobby Davis Jr. accomplished the feat at age 20 back in 1983 while
driving for Bob Weikert.
It was Rahmer’s first ever title at the oval.
A three-time winner at the track in 2017, Freddie
Rahmer now joins his father and car owner, Fred Rahmer on the prestigious
Williams Grove Speedway all time championship win list.
The elder Rahmer earned nine career oval track
titles as a pilot himself and now owns a total of 10 including his first as a
car owner in 2017.
Rahmer and Dave Pritchard
will share car owner laurels for 2017.
Freddie Rahmer also earned the 2017 Williams Grove
Diamond Series title at the track, earning the most points in the oval series
comprised of some of the most special events the track offers during the year.
His father was a two-time
Diamond Series champion during his career.
In the 358 sprint division, Mechanicsburg’s Kevin
Nouse recently wrapped up the 2017 track title.
The title was the fourth of Nouses’s career at the
track after also taking titles in 2013, 2014 and in 2016.
The 2017 title puts Knouse in pretty elite company
as only one other driver has won more Williams Grove titles with Pat Cannon
having earned a total of five 358 sprint crowns.
Like Nouse, Cory Haas earned four during his
tenure in the limited sprints.
Nouse took one oval
victory in 2017.
Special awards in the 358 sprints went to Troy
Wagaman Jr. as Most Improved Driver, Brie Hershey for Sportsmanship and Brett
Wanner as Rookie of the Year.
In the 410 sprint ranks, special awards went to
Anthony Macri as Rookie of the Year, Troy Fraker for Sportsmanship, Matt
Campbell as Most Improved and Mechanic of the Year went to Freddie Rahmer for
wrenching his own mount to the 2017 track title.
The 2018 season opener at
Williams Grove Speedway has been determined to be a 410 sprints only program,
taking place on a Sunday afternoon in March.
