Veteran Jim LeVan took advantage of his number 2 draw and won three segments on his way to a victory in the final Nascar feature of the season.  With the win LeVan was able to lock up the point title on the last evening.  In addition to the 3 segment wins that the Reading Racer had he also only had a single fall-off.  Second went to Mark Williams who won 4 segments and fell 6 points short of winning the Nascar title this season.  Third spot went to the Boyertown Bullet Cory Reinhard driving out of team TCS.  Reinhard won 2 segments.  [Read more…]

Looks like lane 2 was the hot lane as 7 drivers scored segment wins on that lane.Good Having Lauden S back with us just missed out on a Top10, finishing 11th. Good run for Youngster James H finishing 13th. Next Week Nascar closes out its season on the 8 lane. Mark what is the # on your car?

Randy Haydt won the Sprint Car Final Feature of the season and also decided the season’s Point Battle in the process.  Haydt scored 4 segment wins in his very fast Sprinter.  The win was his overall 4^th feature this season at his Namesake tracks but his first in a Sprint Car.  It was a milestone win as well as it was his 70^th overall Career Win placing him third all-time.  Haydt scored a 13 section of track win over Mark Williams who moved into the point lead on the final night of racing, dropping Cory Reinhard to second.  The top three in points included Haydt were only 3 point apart after the season’s final checkered.  [Read more…]

Modified racing was back on the Tri-Oval for the final time this year and Mark Williams turned in a Sweep on his way to the win.  Cory Reinhard scored 4 segment wins on the outside lanes turning in a strong 2nd place finish, that was his 6th runner up finish this year. Good run for Brian Sponagle as he scored 2 segment wins on the outside lanes to come home with a 3rd place finish. For the 4th straight Modified race on the Tri-Oval a tie for 4th  occurred, this time between Randy Haydt and Mike Fitzgerald each had strong runs but no segment wins and the same amount of fall off’s so each will get credit  with a 4th place finish.

Pit road was not to bad with Jim having the night off!.

The wait was well worth it for Blandon Racer Tom Wenner as he scored a victory in the NASCAR Feature on the Tough Tub.  Wenner is considered a rookie this season and he raced to his first ever win at Randy’s Raceways on the Road Course’s second show this year.  The events have quickly become a racers favorite and drew a nice crowd of 13 racers even though a make-up night had to be used this week.  Wenner won 3 segments to post a 12 piece of track win over one of the area’s best Road Racers our own Randy Haydt.  Haydt won 2 segments on the night.  Finishing third was Nick Wummer in one of his best ever runs here at the Kutztown Racetracks.  [Read more…]
