In the nightcap of the evening – Racers were treated to an IROC Show featuring the Michael Mackaravitz owned TYCO Dump Trucks. The TYCO Dumpers debuted last year and were immediately a hit with the drivers. Taking his 1st career Randy Raceway Feature Win was Jordan Hess. Jordan took a liking to the handle of the big trucks on the Randy’s Raceway 8 Lane Oval and scored 3 of the 4 segment wins to secure his first career win. IROC Racing also yields very close racing finishes and Tuesday was no different. Jordan’s win was by 2 track pieces over James Hammershock. James scored 2 segment wins in his run to 2nd place. Wrapping up our podium for the IROC Class in 3rd was Michael Mackaravitz. Mike won 2 segment wins and was only back 2 track pieces from 2nd and 4 track pieces from 1st. Close racing continues to be the theme, 1st to 3rd were only separated by 4 track pieces. Congrats to Jordan, James and Mike.

Congrats to Jordan Hess on his 1st career win at Randy’s. 5 of the 17 drivers in the Sprint Car class bubbled out and cost them better finishes. It was no different in IROC racing – The TYCO Dumpers took their toll – 50% of class bubbled out. 7 of the 14 drivers had difficulty keeping the big truck in the slot. Lane 5 in IROC competition was the challenge.
