Sheldon and Shane Split Double Header

On Tuesday January 7, 2014 it was the first race of the new year at Randy’s Raceway in Kutztown, PA.  10 racers braved the frigid weather conditions outside, but the racing action inside was the complete opposite.  It was a double show for NASCAR on the tricky Tri-Oval.  Taking the win was the defending co-champion Sheldon Hiester.  Sheldon won 3 segments in route to his first triumph of the season.  Second went to current point leader Mark Williams.  Mark won 3 segments on the night.  Third went to Shane Hiester.  Shane won 3 segments on the night.  Fourth went to Bryan Kisthart.  Bryan didn’t win any the first race, but was in most of the segments.  Rounding out the top 5 was Billy Decker.  Billy won 1 segment on the night.  The rest of the top 10 were: 6-Bob Amore, 7-Randy Haydt, 8-Brian Vanbuskirk, 9-Brian Sponagle, and 10-Tony Zappacosta.  Sheldon beat Mark by 10 sections of track for the win, and Mark only was second by 9 pieces of track over Shane.  So the top 3 were separated by only 19 pieces of track.
In the second half of the double header there were once again 10 racers.  Taking the win was defending co-champion Shane Hiester.  Shane won 3 segments in the night cap to claim his first victory of the season.  Second went to Sheldon Hiester.  Sheldon won 1 segment on the night capping off a very good evening.  Third went to Bob Amore.  Bob won 3 segments on the night.  Fourth went to Mark Williams.  Mark won 1 segment in the race.  Fifth went to Bryan Kisthart.  Bryan won 2 segments on the night.  The rest of the top 10 were as follows: 6-Randy Haydt, 7-Brian Vanbuskirk, 8-Billy Decker, 9-Brian Sponagle, and 10-Tony Zappacosta.  In the night cap Tony Zappacosta and Billy Decker both had some handling issues in the second race.  Quite a few of the regulars were missing in action this week.  Hope all is well and see you back soon.  There were no bendaying of the boundary rules since Scottay wasn’t in attendance.  Rumors were going around that one of the racers were at home in their footy pajamas tucked in bed because it was too cold out.  It was a fun relaxed night.  The 50/50 went off pretty well without the ring leader there.
