BERNHEISEL CAPTURES APPALACHIAN MOUNTAIN LM SPEEDWEEK TITLE

Bryan Bernheisel of Jonestown, PA garnered the 2026 Selinsgrove Ford Appalachian Mountain Late Model Speedweek championship in Jim and Donna Bernheisel’s Uglies Kettle Chips / Pioneer Pole Buildings / Selinsgrove Ford / Bolger Brothers Inc. Lazer-chassis #119.

Bernheisel used consistency and patience for feature finishes of second, third, fifth and twelfth in the 119 with crew chief, Brandon Bernheisel. They took the title by a slim 16-point margin over Justin Weaver of Clear Spring, MD. Weaver recorded one feature win in the series at Potomac Speedway in Budds Creek, MD in the Red Wing Shoes/GDC IT Solutions #2J Longhorn, owned by Chaz Walls and Rich Whitfield.

2003 AMS champion, Tyler Emory of Chaptico, MD, returned to the series and finished 3rd in points in Pete Cameron’s Rocket-chassis, Combs Bus and Truck Service / E-Labs / Garner Construction / PSI Pax #72, after being substantially sidelined for the past two seasons recovering from a back injury. Jakob Piper of Mercersburg, PA was fourth in his own Longhorn chassis #21P sponsored by Buchanan Auto Park / JPW Environmental and Chad Homan of Penfield, NY was fifth in his Jensen Fabrication / Precision Powder Coating / Scotty’s Towing, Lazer-chassis #91.

Appalachian Speedweek was shortened from the scheduled seven-race series over nine days to four events by summer-like trending thunderstorms forcing 3 nights to be canceled..

Other feature winners, both in Rocket-chassis cars, were Trever Feathers, in Bo Feathers’ Martin’ Pump Service / Coffelt Graphics / McFarland Custom Painting & Wall Covering / ABC Supply #27 (Clinton County), and Gregg Satterlee in Gary Satterlee’s Keyser Manufacturing / Classic Ink / Integra Shocks #22 (Bedford and Lincoln). Unfortunately, both missed races during the series due to threatening weather, personal schedules and, in Feathers’ case, a mid-series breakdown of the team’s car transporter.

Completing the top ten in points were Joe Petyak of Gallitzen, PA, Danny Snyder of Green Lane, PA, Satterlee, Drew Weisser of Reading, PA, and Kody Lyter of Lewistown, PA.

Petyak piloted his JP Enterprises / Casale’s Garage /McCloskey Tires and Muffler Longhorn #44 to 3127 points. Snyder was a close 7th in the Snyder’s Mobile Wash / Mastrocola Hauling / Virtual Essence Hair Design / T & B Racing, Kryptonite-chassis #4S. Drew Weisser gathered 2253 points in his B Weisser Flooring / Precision Powder Coating / Focus Shock Technologies, Lazer-chassis 19 and Lyter ended with 2151 markers in his Asher’s Chocolate / The TINT Shop / KRAWL Works / Kyle Hardy Racing, Rocket #25K.

The scheduled seven-race series over nine days was reduced to four events by summer-like, trending thunderstorms. Events at Port Royal, Marion Center and Kutztown Action Track were rained out.
