YORK, PA

New York's Corey Crawford (80B, above) scored a pair of wins at the Baer Racing Products York Half Mile, surprising two National number holders in the process, to take the Open A and 450 Sportsman finals on his Priestley Racing/Vadnais Machine/Renthal/Jeff Eddy-sponsored Yamaha.

In the Open A contest, Raun Wood led Crawford, Jake Shoemaker, Jason Isennock and Tommy McGrane. Wood and Crawford quickly put some distance on the battle for third. By the start of the third lap, Wood thought he had the race under control on his Scott PowerSports Honda, but Crawford shot into turn one a little high and shot down under him off turn two to execute a beautiful "slide job" that caused Wood to back off slightly to avoid hitting Crawford's rear tire. This gave Crawford some breathing room, which he held to the end. Isennock took third off turn two on the following lap.

In the featured 450 Sportsman event, Tim Eades grabbed the point from Crawford, Wood, Donnie Mullen and Shoemaker. This time he surprised Eades entering one on the second lap to take the lead. which he then held to the end.

Crawford's traveling buddy Eric Johncox stopped his streak in the 450 Stock Frame final, grabbing the lead from Travis Diem, Crawford, Shoemaker and Joe Gathercole. Johncox used a clear track to gap the others. Crawford took second off turn two on the final lap, but Diem regained it by the flag.

In the 250 Sportsman final, Rich Mellinger (86, above) took his first win ever on a 250. Roy Miller took the lead off turn two from Mellinger, Colton Smith (32) and Devon Gerhart. Mellinger and Smith got by Miller entering turn one on the second lap. Mellinger held off Smith for the win, and Samantha Bergman took fourth on the same lap.

Recently crowned 65 National Champion Brandon Price (1NE, below) did the usual in the 65 final, taking the lead from his cousin Nathan Reichert, with Zack Kolsovsky, Colin Cunningham and Chris Thomas following. As usual, Price and Reichert pulled away as they battled closely for the lead, with Price holding a slight lead. Reichert fell on the final lap in turn three, giving Price the win.

Price took the 85 (7-11) lead from Cunningham, Cameron Smith (15, above), Reichert and Ken Kolsovsky. Kyle McGrane moved into fifth at the end of the first lap, while Smith used the outside to take second on the second lap. Over the remainder of the race, they stayed side by side in the turns, with Price just pulling a little in front on the straights.

Tom Majeski (3A, above) scored a pair of age-class wins. In the Over 30 class, he shot past Richard Pfanders and Miller entering turn one on the second lap. Rick Winsett took second off turn two on lap two as the veterans pulled away. Miller grabbed third on lap four.

Majeski led the Over 40 contest from the start, with Lew Woods and Dallas Baer battling over second most of the way.

Making his first start of the year, Jeremiah Snow grabbed the 125 lead from Colton Smith (41, above), Ryan Varnes (68) and Cody Ebersole. Smith took the lead off turn four on the first lap, and it looked like it would be another win for him. Making his first start on a 125, Varnes took second on the third lap and started to pressure Smith. On the fourth lap, Varnes took the lead off turn two and then held it to the end.
