Howard Wins $10,000 Coalcracker, Terrance and AJ Crowned Champions, Sunday Winners

Duane Howard picked up $10,000 in a dominating performance at Big Diamond for their annual Coalcracker 100 on Sunday night. Howard started 12th on the field and took the lead early and led until the checkered flag flew. Jason Hamilton gave him everything he had, and made the finish very exciting, but it was Howard who collected the $10,000 at the end of the night.

It was a big night of racing, 2 track champions were crowned and both the big block Super Dirt Series and the 358 Super Dirt Series was in action. In 358 Super Dirt Series action at Cornwall Speedway Danny O'Brien won the $4,000 feature which completed a huge weekend for the O'Brien family, Danny won the track championship at Brockville last night, won the 358 Series race tonight, and Pat O'Brien won the big block feature at Can-Am last night as well. Carey Terrance was crowned Cornwall Speedway track champion, it was his first career track championship, congratulations to him and the entire 66x crew! In Super Dirt Series action Cayuga County had twice features paying $3,000 to win each. Alan Johnson debuted with his new Jake Spraker team in imressive fashion by winning race #1, but in race #2 it was Billy Decker winning yet again. Alan Johnson did what he had to do to pick up the Cayuga County Fair Speedway track championship. Congratulations to one of the all-time best. Outside of any tour events, Richie Pratt picked up the win at Georgetown Speedway after rookie Chad Clark wrecked while leading late in the race, the win was worth $2,500. Pat Ward continued his dominant season at Utica Rome with another win. Finally, Kenny Tremont picked up the win the CJC 101 at Devil's Bowl Speedway.

I forgot to mention on Saturday night that Patrick Dupree won the Airborne Speedway championship for the 2nd time in 2 years. Congratulations to him and the #24 team, same goes for Brian Weaver who collected the championship at Five Mile Point, and John Lazore who picked up his first career modified championship at Mohawk.
