Well, I fit everything that happened on Friday into that headline. With many Friday night tracks done racing weekly for the year, and mother nature taking out a handful of other tracks, there wasn't a whole lot going on in the racing world. Tonight was supposed to be the finale for the Lucas Oil 358 Series at Merrittville, but that fell to rain. No word yet on whether the race will be made up or not. Pete Bicknell leads the points standings and the only person that can steal the title is Chad Brachmann, however, Bicknell needs to finish 15 positions behind Brachmann to have that happen.
However, there were three modified tracks that did get racing in, Albany and Accord. Albany Saratoga saw Brett Hearn go on to win his 90th career modified victory in the first modified feature, which means that Brett Hearn surpassed Jack Johnson and is now that all-time Albany modified win leader. Hearn then went out and won modified race #2 a few minutes later. While Hearn swept the features, Kenny Tremont did everything he needed to claim yet another Albany track championship. Congratulations to Kenny Tremont and the #115 crew on another great accomplishment. Penn Can saw Al Rudalavage run away with the modified feature and brother Jeff Rudalavage finished 4th, which was good enough for him to win the Penn Can championship. Hard to believe that two years ago Jeff was retired from racing, way to go Jeff. At Accord, Rich Ricci picked up the win from deep in the field. Andy Bachetti finished 4th in the feature which means that Rich Ricci has taken the points lead by just 2 markers going into the final points race next Friday. Should be good!
Tomorrow there will be more champions crowned, but all eyes will be on Lebanon Valley for the Lebanon Valley 200 Super Dirt Series race which will pay $10,000 to the winner.
