English Creek Speedway
Night #3 at ECS
Points race #3 is done and over with and we still have FOUR racers continue a perfect year so far!
R-Box stock kicked off the night of feature race action with Clayton Vanderploeg winning his THIRD STRAIGHT feature race this year! It did not come easily though as the race was riddled with cautions and a hard charging Nolan Freeman and Logan Benge! The Freeman and Benge duo fought for every lap putting continuous pressure on the race leader. In the end Vanderploeg was just too tough holding out for the feature race win. Nolan Freeman would come in 2nd yet again, Logan Benge came in 3rd, Kaden Rice in the 69k raced from the 10th starting grid to finish 4th, and Trayton Brown rounded out the top 5.
In the 390 Clone Flat Karts Tony Gerdom continued his dominance taking home feature race number three of the 2018 season! As Gerdom dominated the feature race Nathan Dailey would finish 2nd, Brian Shearer in 3rd, Brandon Shearer 4th, and rounding out the top 5 was Tim Counts.
The Adult Wing Outlaws saw Kenzie Alexander and Devon Brown duke it out in the heats, only for Brown to have trouble in the feature and call it a night. Kenzie would go on to lead flag to flag in the feature! The real race was for second between John Hines and Dylan Alexander as they put on a side by side action filled race! Kenzie Alexander would win, folled by John Hines making a last lap slide job for 2nd over Dylan Alexander rounding out the top 3.
It was our Box Stock feature putting on the show again! We ran a facebook live coverage for it and we will experiment again next week with it so stay tuned! In a race riddled with cautions Lane Gerdom Stewart and Gage Stevens dueled for the feature race glory. Gerdom Stewart would hold off the ever present Stevens to pick up feature race number two! Mason Heimbaugh battled for a 3rd place finish holding off an in-form Cole Garner in 4th. Cason fitch would drive his 71 machine from the 13th starting position to round out the top 5! Gage Stevens maintained the points after a solid 2nd place finish, but Lane Gerdom Stewart is lurking in 2nd only 8 points behind Stevens. With three points race down who will end up the points champion at the end of the year?!
Picking up his THIRD STRAIGHT feature race win in the Intermediate Wing Outlaws was Alex Vande Voort! Vande Voort would lead flag to flag in a dominant performance! The race for second would go to the final stages of the race as Logan Alexander made a last lap pass on Madison Smith for second! Madison Smith would finish 3rd, Riley Dailey 4th, and Clinton Goff rounding out the top 5!
The Open 500cc Karts would close out the night as Nick DeMoss would pick up feature race number THREE for the year! Scott Johnson who had a kart to compete with DeMoss had bad luck as he crashed twice throughout night. Travis Hansaker would go on to finish 2nd in the feature, Cliff Jones 3rd, and Matt Johnson rounding out the running field.
That concluded points race #3 as there are still FOUR drivers with perfect feature race results! Will anyone be able to stop these drivers or will their dominace continue!? Thank you to all of our sponsors and everyone for coming out! We hope to see you next week!
