Drevicki tops field in SpeedSTR feature
A Night at the Races with Weaknecht Archery and Moonshine Camo provided the fans with opportunities to shoot a crossbow, win prizes, and possibly catch one of many, many T-shirts that were tossed into the stands on Wednesday, June 22, at the JeffreyHogueRealtor.com Action Track USA on the Kutztown Fairgrounds. “FUN” was the operative word, and a good time was had by all.
On the track, the night could be described “a bit bizarre” as the exciting competition mixed in with a fence-ripping tumble, a four-wide battle for second as cars crossed the finish line in the Junior Slingshot main, and a declaration of Co-Winners in another class.
Steve Drevicki, the two-time ARDCMidget Champion who is now dividing his focus between USAC All Pro SpeedSTRs and 358 Sprint Cars, finally shook off the hard luck that has plagued him on Wednesday nights to win the 30-lap SpeedSTR feature.
Dylan Hoch captured his third triumph of the season in the NAPA Auto Parts Mid-Atlantic Silver Tour event for the All Star Slingshots. On Thursday, Bobby Butler and Jesse Maurer were declared Co-Winners of the Hyper Racing 600 Sprint feature. And Fleetwood, Pa. racer Kyle Smith won the Junior Slingshot main.
The JeffreyHogueRealtor.com Action Track USA is now on its summer break - there will not be any racing at the speedway until Wednesday, July 13, as the annual Folk Festival takes over the Kutztown Fairgrounds. When the intensely competitive racing programs return on the 13th, the Hyper Racing 600 Sprints will be in the spotlight as they battle in the Tri-Track Challenge, a three race series that includes Linda’s Speedway and Lanco’s Clyde Martin Memorial Speedway. The Action Track USA winner will go home with $1,000, provided he or she takes the Gambler’s Challenge.
