Randy’s Raceway Sprint Car Championship Night Race Results from Tuesday, March 29th
Sheldon Hiester stakes claim to the ’22 Randy’s Raceway Sprint Car Title with his 3rd Sprint Car feature win of the season
In the final race event of the ’22 season, The 410 Sprint Cars were scheduled on the Randy’s Raceway 8 Lane Oval. Sheldon Hiester and Matt Light came into the event in a tie for the championship points. Both drivers entered the evening tied in points and feature wins with 2 a piece. In what was a very stressful night for Sheldon, He broke his ride winning car down and rebuilt it in the pit area right before green flag racing started. The attention in the pit area certainly helped the Hiester 410, Sheldon was on the mark winning 5 straight segments and coming close in the 6th. Sheldon only de-slotted 3 times all night. With the victory, Sheldon secured the ’22 Sprint Car title by 3 points. Finishing in 2nd place was Matt Light who had an equally rewarding season in 410 competition. Light won 2 A Mains and came into the race tied. Light won 3 segments on the night and just missed the win and title by a mere 3 points. Light was near perfect with car control as he only had 1 de-slot all night. Congrats to Sheldon & Matt for a great finish to the 410 Sprint Car class. 3rd place podium driver was none other than our own Randy Jay Haydt. Haydt only won 1 segment, but was very consistent all season in 410 competition. Haydt secured 3rd place in the season long points battle.
