Home track advantage paid big dividends ---$17,500 to be exact--- as J.R. Heffner led a sweep of the top-three finishing positions Thursday night in capturing his second career Super DIRTcar Series Mr. DIRT Track, USA victory at Lebanon Valley Speedway.

Heffner already knows where some of the earnings may go as the Pittsfield, Mass. pilot posed in victory lane beside a disabled A. Colarusso & Son no. 74 Goodermote Excavation/Bicknell ride after losing both the rear-end and engine in his final dash to the checkers.

Mike Bowman made a dramatic last turn move on leader Robbie Krull to win a taut 30 lap Modified Feature at Humberstone Speedway on Sunday, August 29th. In so doing, he over came a large point lead held by Chad Brachmann, whose team had to make a supreme effort to get him back on the track after a first lap incident.

As the field roared down the front stretch after taking the opening green, there was a tangle involving Brachmann, Mat Williamson, and Adam Leslie, with the Williamson and Brachmann machines becoming entangled. After being freed, Brachmann ducked into the pits for repairs. He was just able to join the field from turn three as the field took the green to stay on the lead lap.

Richards Claims Red Miley Rumble at PPMS.

On Saturday night there was a doubleheader at Pittsburgh's Pennsylvania Motor Speedway. The regularly scheduled 44-lap Red Miley Rumble was won by Josh Richards from Shinnston, WV, earning him in excess of $4,000 as numerous individual sponsorships increased every position in the race.

Also on tap in the co-sanctioned show between the UFo Race Championship and ULMS Racing Series was a makeup race from the PENNational event on July 24, when the second of the two events that night was canceled by rain. That gave the fans an added bonus of the 28-lap make-up race from that night. Current PPMS point leader Mike Johnson cruised to victory in this event, earning the $2,000 top prize.

Willy Decker Edges Alan Johnson For Fulton Win.

In one of the best Big Block Modified features of the year at Fulton Speedway, Willy Decker and Alan Johnson thrilled the fans with a battle that went right down to the checkers with Decker picking up the first ever win for car owner Ken Seya. A yellow with one lap to go was key for Decker as he was able to open a car length on Johnson to be the first under the checkers in his Commercial Roofing & Sheet Metal No.10 for the 0.444 second win.

Other winners on Syracuse.Com/ Carson’s Car Mart of Oswego were, Tim Sears Jr. SUNY Canton Sportsman, Tim Devendorf NAPA Late Models, Matt Emmons E&V Energy Novice Sportsman and Skip DeGroff Gladiators.

DART Ironman Challenge Kicks Off With Ludicrous Loot On The Line.

Jeff Nun

The hottest and toughest Stock Car drivers in the upper Midwest are gearing up for the hottest and toughest Stock Car series in the region as the Dart Iron Man Challenge invades five tracks in Iowa and Minnesota during the first six days of August.

The stretch could prove to be a mega-lucrative one for several racers as the newly-formed series for the full-fendered USRA Karl Chevrolet Stock Cars. One driver – if he’s got what it takes – could walk away with more than $5,000 during the 120-hour time frame.

The action launches into high gear on Sunday, Aug. 1, with a $2,000-to-win affair at the Nobles County Speedway in Worthington, Minn. After a day off on Monday, the series then travels to the Algona (Iowa) Raceway, Cresco (Iowa) Speedway and Jackson (Minn.) Speedway on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday for back-to-back-to-back blockbuster battles paying $1,000 each to win.
