The man to beat in Path Valley Speedway’s 270 Sprints points race – Bradyn Kuhn – just put even more distance between himself and the rest of the field.
The Greencastle driver took one big step closer to a points championship on Saturday, winning for the fourth time this season at the quarter-mile banked clay oval. Kuhn surged to Victory Lane over Chase Walker, with Fayetteville’s Cory Myers taking third.
Going into Saturday’s race, Kuhn led the points standings with 351 points over fellow Greencastle driver Aidan Crouse, who checked in 279 points. Crouse was a DNF (did not finish) for 21st last weekend, so Kuhn’s advantage will be even bigger when the newest batch of points are released this week.
Two drivers from the Local.News1.org coverage area landed runner-up finishes at Path Valley, with Chambersburg’s Randy Burkholder taking second in the Limited Late Models and Hagerstown’s Kameron Morral taking the second spot in the 600 Sprints. Burkholder was chased by Chambersburg’s Steve Lowery, who finished in fifth. Also at Path Valley, the Thunder Cars feature included Top 10 finishes from Chambersburg’s Kevin Bard (4th) and Fayetteville’s Roger Traxler (9th).
One day earlier, Trevor Gach had a night to remember at McGrewBid Motoplex, posting wins in both the Winged and Non-Winged 600cc Micros races. Cole Dewease, of Fayetteville, finished fifth in the Winged race and third in the Non-Winged.
The East Coast Legends feature at BAPS Motor Speedway included Top 10 finishes from four area drivers: St. Thomas’ Ryan Walls (3rd), Fairfield’s Lincoln Kearchner (4th) and Seth Kearchner (6th), and Greencastle’s Logan Jones (7th). Also at BAPS, St. Thomas’ Michael Walls took fourth in the Limited Late Models feature, with Greencastle’s Scott Palmer taking fifth.
Three area drivers — Hagerstown’s Dylan Shatzer and Greencastle’s Mason Booze and Dave Friedrich — all secured Top 10 finishes at Hagerstown Speedway last weekend. Shatzer took sixth in the IMCA Racesaver Sprint, Booze finished seventh in the Crate Late Models, and Friedrich claimed eighth in the Pure Stocks..
National Sprint Car Hall of Famer Lance Dewease showcased his driving skills at Williams Grove Speedway on Friday, with the “Fayetteville Flyer” going from 17th to seventh in the 410 Sprints feature. At Port Royal Speedway, Greencastle’s DJ Myers drove to fifth place in the Limited Late Models race.
