This Friday, the Quandel Concrete Modifieds will race Topless for a cool first place prize of $7,000 in their 30-lap main event. Duane Howard has won two out of the last three topless races and has to be considered one of the favorites. With his win in the second twin 20 last Friday, Brett Kressley has taken over the points lead from Louden Reimert who had his troubles in last Friday’s nightcap. Rookie Logan Watt remains third followed by Duane Howard and Ryan Watt. Modifieds must remove the roof and windows this week to compete.
There will be some extra cash on the line for the USS Achey, Inc. 602 Crate Sportsman on Friday. They will race a normal 20-lap feature paying $1,200 to the winner. Like the modifieds, the 602 Crate Sportsman will also run without their roof and windows and go topless. Current points leader Jordan Henn has been very strong the past weeks with a win and a second place, Henn is poised to repeat his championship if he can keep up his current pace. The always consistent Kevin Olenick sits in second followed by Jax Yohn, rookie Colin Cox and Matt Martino.
Chuck Fayash fresh off his big Full Fender Frenzy win last Friday is on a roll and continues to lead the way in the Red White and Blue Autos Roadrunner division. Despite his win last Friday night, Chuck Fayash still remains in second place in the championship standings trailing his nephew Andrew Fayash III. Kris Ney, Alex Schoffstall and Mike Reichert complete the top five in the race for the 2024 title.
