IMCA Hobby Stock Feature. Chad Kaminski quickly made his way
to second and caught White. With White running the low-line,
Kaminski went to the top and made the pass for the lead.
Kaminski would continued to lead all the way to the checkers
to pick up his first career win. The battle was on for
second with Keith Kickbusch and Roger Laviolette splitting
Adam White for second on a three-wide pass. Kickbusch would
win the battle for second and take the point lead with one
night left. Laviolette was third followed by White and Frank
Paul.
Aaron Thornton lent the car to Charlie Kroll with one thing
in mind… winning the bounty on Von Eytcheson. Charlie Kroll
set the pace in the early laps of the D.C. Custom Drilling
and Blasting Street Stock Feature. The field was kept close
by the caution filled race. Von Eytcheson and Ryan Brandes
were able to make their way through the field to second and
third. Eytcheson caught Kroll with the help of a yellow flag
and made his move on the inside. Kroll took his car to the
outside. Eytcheson was able to get around Kroll for one lap
but never anymore. Kroll got much better momentum using the
top-side of the track. A green, white, checker set up the
finish of the race. Kroll was able to pull away and pick up
the win. He won $850.00 for his efforts. Eytcheson extended
his point lead going into the final night of the season with
his second place finish. Ryan Brandes was third, followed by
Fred Davister, and Scott Reinhardt.
Rookie Willy DeGrave put on a career showing early on with
veteran John Heinz in the Budweiser IMCA Stockcar Feature.
The duo swapped the lead many times with Heinz finally
taking control on lap 4. Bernie Reinhardt quickly shot to
the outside and started working on Heinz from the outside.
Reinhardt grabbed the lead on lap 10 but with B.J. Soquet
and Willie DeGrave right behind. Reinhardt would continued
to lead until Soquet shot to the inside of Reinhardt with
two laps to go and made the pass in the middle groove.
Soquet went on to win his second feature of the season
followed by Reinhardt, DeGrave, Matt Junio, and Pat Davister.
Billy Lemieux led the opening lap of the Tri-County Heating
IMCA Modified Feature. Last week’s winner Kevin Sternard
made his way to the inside of Lemieux on the second lap and
grabbed the lead. A couple of caution would keep the field
close. On the restart, Sternard pulled away from Jerovetz
again. Point leader Jared Siefert, made his way to third and
battled Jerovetz all the way to the checkers. Up front,
Sternard walked away to pick up his second win in a row.
Jerovetz was second followed by Siefert, Todd Dart, and
Benji LaCrosse.
Kip Burlo led every lap in picking up his first feature win
in the 4 cylinder division. He kept Tony Everard and Kenny
Malcore at bay for all 12 laps.
