Elma, WA -
Craig Moore wins in the IMCA Modifieds and Tyson Blood gets his 3rd straight championship (4th overall). Shane Kerrigan wins the Super Stock main event and Austin Kerrigan battles back to tie for the championship with his dad and win because he has more wins. Cory Sweatman wins the Hornet main event and Max (Bill) Sanford wins the Hornet Championship for 2024.
In the IMCA Modifieds the 25 lap main event went caution free in 11 min when Ryen Haney led the first two laps and Craig Moore lead the last 23 laps picking up his second win and finishing second in points. The action throughout the field was wild as Zach Simpson moved up 8 spots to finish 2nd followed by Grey Ferando who moved up 9 spots to finish 3rd and Robert Jenner who moved up 7 spots to finish 4th. Tyson Blood who had a terrible heat race and didn’t even make 2 corners won the B main and started 17th and moved up 7 spots to finish 10th and secure his 3rd track championship in a row (4th overall.). The other B main transfer Zane Minder started last and moved up 9 spots to finish 9th and get the Elma Lanes Hard Charger along with Grey Ferrando. Heat race wins went to Gray Ferrando, Josh Muller, Zach Simpsoni, Craig Moore. Jake Sorenson would be the rookie of the year in the IMCA Modifieds.
The Super Stock main event ended up being a wild one where Larry Paladin would lead the first 8 laps with Matt White hot on his tail and then he would take the lead on lap 9. On lao 13 Paladin and Shane Kerrigan would make contact and around they both would go but Kerrigan would not stop and keep his position. On the restart Kerrigan would be able to take the lead and get the win. A spin from Austin Kerrigan on the white flag lap caused a caution and he was able to recover to 4th on the green white checkered to tie with his dad Shane and win the tiebreaker for track championship by having more wins. Matt White would finish second, Jayson Wolcott third, and the heat race win went to Shane Kerrigan.
The Hornets would be another non-stop main event seeing Cory Sweatman lead all 25 to the win. Riley Scherer driving the Harding car second week in a row would finish runner up once again to Sweatman. Landon Pruett would gain 2 spots and finish 3rd after Don Briggs Sr was dq’d after tech. Zach Dalrymple would bring out his hornet for only the 2nd time and run 4th followed by Dale Vacknitz Jr in 5th. Max Sanford would bring it home 6th and clinch his first track championship. Heat race wins would go to Daisha Stevens, Joe Baxter, and Scott Reed, and the B Main went to Drew Spalding. Kenny Miles would win rookie of the year by 1 point over Joel Baxter.
