On Tuesday night February 26 the Sportsman Division was back in action at Randy’s Raceway on the Short Track. This will be for the last time this season and for good as the track has been sold and will be leaving Randy’s basement at the end of the racing season.  There were 20 racers on hand and participated in the event.  Taking the win was Randy Haydt who won 3 segments in route to the victory for the first time this season in a Shane Hiester prepared car. Randy looked to be having fun and drove that way as he was smooth all night long and payed off with him getting a well deserved victory.  Second place went to Shane Hiester who won 4 segments and lost out on the victory to Randy by 5 track sections.  [Read more…]
