                                        From 3" of Rain To A Solid Night Of Racing.
After 4 days of rain,rain and more rain,Dave,Jr. prepped a track that was 2" under water just 20 hours before race time. Kudos to Dave,Willy and track crew. 

The Junior Sprint main was a you win,no I win battle between Braylon Morris and Enzo Iudicello. The pair swapped the top spot 3 times between laps 7 and 15 with Morris getting the advantage and the win.Enzo fell back to 4th before regrouping for 2nd just ahead of Andrew Ferriola.The battle for 4th was on with Logan Schibila just nosing out Barrett Bressler for the spot. Race went non-stop in 3:44.

From a bad night to an incredible night was the sequence for Barry Seaman. Last week Barry was an early race DNF while running 2nd,but he was not to be denied the win in the 20 lap Junior Slingshot feature.Barry withstood early race challenges from Miles Zehner and Hailey Burnatowski to get the win with Hailey having no challengers for 2nd,with that being said was the fantastic 3rd place run by Gavin Wolfe in the 23g.Aubrey Romig an early race accident victim twice in the early going,rallied for 4th after her visits to the rear.Cheyenne Snodderly was a top 5 runner the whole 20 lap distance getting a much deserved 5th. 2 drivers showing vast improvement were 6th place Mackenzie Henn and 7th place Rockey Johnson,Jr.

Steve Simmons had the Sam Borger #04 on rails and with no race stoppages took win # 2 of the 2025 season in the 125 micro class.Seth Gregory who could not make the call for his qualifier had a strong mount to get 2nd,just ahead of a fast closing Dylan Yeingst.Jesse Maurer went under the checkers in 4th,a few car lengths ahead of Mitch Gibson.

After losing a last lap heartbreaker to Brett Bieber last week,Hailey Eroh took command on lap 3 of the 25 lap main for the All Star Slingshots and again her closest competitor at races end was Bieber who fell just .2 seconds behind after 25 laps with Hailey getting her 1st All Star win in Wingless Weds. competition. 3rd starting Luke McCloskey fell back to 6th in the early going but was back in the top 5 at lap 10 and getting by Zack Gerber and Ethan Miller at the midtstages of the race to slot in and hold the 3rd spot to the end.A solid run for Darian Danyluk in the 72D,who needed a good finish to get the season going. Steady Lindsay Garl brought the yellow 17L home for a 5th place payout.Strong run from Dan Lane,Jr. getting the Thunberg 12SR up to 6th from his 14th starting slot.

The 600 micros were 23 entries strong and under the checkers 1st was the 99 of Briggs Danner. Danner had no worries until a late race caution saw Adam Buchel get by Matt McAnally and Luke Hess and closing in on Danner,but Hess held strong repassing Buchel with 2 laps to go in registering a nice 2nd place run with Buchel right behind for 3rd. McAnally's bid for 4th was a run to the wire as Trevor Kobylarz entered the top 5 on lap 10 made a last lap bid for 4th come just a 1/2 car length short. The battle for 6th was a 4 car war between Dan Lane,Jr,Jacob Homnick,Eddie Mort and Geezer Fanelli with the quartet finishing as listed.

Johnny Fugelo has that 6th sense that comes to life when he knows he is being pressured and it paid off for his 2nd Stage 1 Modified win of the 2025 season.A lap 11 caution involving the top 3 runners gave Fugelo the lead and he warded off all of the advances of Dylan Hoch who was one of the top 3 sent to the rear for the caution for the last 5 laps to get the win.The other 2 cars involved,A J Gerhart and early race leader Brett Smith rallied to get 3rd and 4th.With Chad Riddle hoping he didn't have a repeat of last week when he never got a lap on the track got a much needed top 5.

Final A Main had 18 270 micros waiting for the Dave Cordier,Jr. green and off they went for one entertaining 20 lap race. Dylan Kuronya took the lead on lap 1 and was distancing himself from the field that had the next 5 cars under a blanket until the only yellow on lap 15 made for a single file restart and that altered a few spots in the last 5 laps.2nd pace running Michael Petock was overtaken by Chris Dolan with 2 laps to go with Jarrett Imler firmly in 4th. Finding the high side to his liking was Adam Buchel who passed Matt McAnally and John Maurer to settle in for 5th. The 6th through 8th battle went down to the finish line with McAnally 6th,Maurer 7th and last weeks winner Dustin Roberts 8th.Only 1 yellow slowed down the final A Main of the night.

Final checkered was thrown at 9:57.
