BECHTELSVILLE, PA SEPTEMBER 8, 1999 . . . Two new names have been added to the list of champions at Grandview Speedway. Terry Meitzler of Kutztown, PA is the 1999 NASCAR Winston Racing Series Modified stock car champion and Jeff Teets of Coplay, PA is the new NASCAR Late Model champion. For Meitzler it is the end of a couple years of frustration as he finished second in the final point chase. The veteran modified racing talent wheeled his Meitzler Excavating sponsored entry to one feature win and tallied 5387 points to earn the track title. Jeff Strunk (Bethel) finished second in the final standings, winning two features, earning 4958 points. However Strunk did win the Motor Truck Equipment Co. Kenworth Cummins PA NASCAR Modified Championship. That title was worth $15,000 based on his efforts in modified racing at Big Diamond Raceway and Grandview Speedway. Kerry Kratz (Bechtelsville), without benefit of a feature win, tallied 4770 points. Kratz put forward a strong in the final weeks of the season to move up a few spots and gain third spot. Kevin Hartnett (Perkasie) was in the thick of the modified point chase for much of the season. Some tough luck in the final weeks moved him down to fourth in the standings with 4593 points. Hartnett did not have a feature victory to his credit. Veteran racing talent Rick Schaffer (Woxall), now tied with Fred Rahmer as the all time modified feature winner at Grandview Speedway with 45, finished fifth with 4496 points. The championship win for Jeff Teets in NASCAR Late Models is also a first. The talented racer earned 5 feature victories on his way to the title and tallied 5520 points. And when you talk about determination you may want to think about Dean Stoudt (East Greenville, PA) who was in the chase for this fourth track late model championship going into the final point race. A few days before the race he underwent a gall bladder operation. But he was there for the final race. Early in the main event Stoudt was "shunted" into the infield and had to go to the rear of the field. Still determined he worked his way back to a sixth place finish, not enough to win the championship but enough to win the plaudits of a majority of fans in attendance. He finished second in the final standings for the third year in a row tallying 5440 points. Third spot in the final standings went to Rick Todorow (Quakertown) with 5315 counters. Todorow was the point leader for a time but late in the season bad luck caused him to lose two positions. Randy Stoudt (Pottstown) won three features in the late models with the Firecracker 40 being the big win. Stoudt, no relation to Dean, had 5024 points when the season was complete. He has his late model equipment for sale and plans to run NASCAR modifieds in 2000. Former champion Lou Egrie (Philadelphia) got fifth spot in the final standings with 4740 counters. Feature winners in the modifieds, 13 of them, were Tom Mayberry (7), Rick Schaffer (3), Jeff Strunk and John Willman (2 each), and one win each for Terry Meitzler, Chip Slocum, Kenny Gilmore, Ron Haring, Todd Heydt, Donny Erb, Ray Swinehart, Glenn Strunk and Kenny Gruber. 23 features counted toward the final point standings. In the late models feature winners were Jeff Teets (5), Randy Stoudt (3), two each for Junior Grebe,Bill Henning, Chuck Sennott and John Durling, one win each for Dean Stoudt, Rick Todorow, Ed Trimbur, Lou Egrie, Terry Snyder. 21 features run during the late model point chase. The final events of the 1999 season will be run at Grandview Speedway on September 18 at 5 p.m. A tripleheader show will include modifieds, late models and sportsman stock cars.
