Long time veteran racer Scott Bender won the Sprint Car Championship at Randy’s Raceway this season. This was his first ever championship and very much deserved. Scott had a dominating performance this year in the 6 race series, scoring 3 wins and 3 seconds. Bender added 21 segment wins as well. The victory on November 11th was also a career first. He now has 33 career segment wins in a Sprinter. We had 15 racers take a green in the class this year which returned to a more regular status with the Sportsman class going away this year. Mark Williams wound up second in points after scoring his win on opening night back in September. Williams now has 14 career Sprint wins for second place behind Kenny Gilmore. [Read more…]
