Williams Wins Sixth Feature

Mark Williams won his sixth Modified feature of this season and locked up the season points championship.  Williams ran the pink Kenny Gilmore prepared tyco sweeping all eight lanes with only 5 falloffs.  17 racers were on hand and Shane Hiester ran a strong race winning his first 5 segments to grab 2nd on the evening.  Sheldon Hiester won on lane 1 and then turned in steady runs the rest of the way grabbing third spot.  Fourth was Brett Gilmore in his #7 followed by Toby Reinhard who picked up his first modified segment win of the season and a real strong top 5 finish.  Sixth through tenth were Bill Brenner, Jim Levan, Eric Beard, Tony Z and veteran Mike Feltenberger in his Bulllock #76.

Modified Madness

Veteran Bill Brenner had a good run in the Beard #18 bringing it home 6th in the next too last race for this season.  Tony Z also won a segment in the Billy Decker prepared #44.  Decker has fielded 2 strong modified teams all season and the combination of Bill and Tony has been a real surprise this year.  Good luck to that team the rest of this season and we hope they return as a team next year.  Cory Rienhard made his night a good one finishing 13th even though he did not feel taht good.  With the whole sppring ahead daylight savings time coming this weekend does anybody have a clue what the clocks at Randy’s raceway will look like on Tuesday night……………..

Jeff Gordon Scores Cup Win

The number 13 wasn’t bad luck to Jeff Gordon as the Cup stars returned to racing on the 8 lane Super Speedway at Randy’s Raceway. The Dupont # 24 was strong in the early going winning his 1st 6 segments on way to his 2nd win in this class. Less than 1 lap behind Ricky Craven piloted the Budweiser # 50 to 3 segment wins for a runner up finish. Dale Earnhardt Jr. made a rare appearance in his Busch car # 81 running steady all night winning 1 segment. Craven and Earnhardt Jr. did finish in a tie but give the spot to Craven because of more segment wins. [Read more…]
