Duane Howard survived a crazy night at Big Diamond Raceway to collect the $10,000 Coalcracker 100. The race capped off a big weekend for Howard, on Saturday night, Howard picked up a win at Grandview Speedway which ended up being worth another extra $10,000, as the win clinched him the American Racer Cup championship. Howard has also clinched Grandview Speedway's small block modified championship, and won $10,000 at Grandview's Forrest Rogers Memorial this year. With some more big races coming up, Howard's certainly having another year to remember.
Larry Wight became the youngest ever Super Dirt Series winner as he got around Alan Johnson early in the event and cruised to a $6,000 win at Cayuga County Fair Speedway on Sunday night.
