Hoosier Racing Tire Weekly Championship Update June 8, 2020

DIRTcar Racing finally took the green flag in the Northeast once again. Sadly it’s impossible to ignore the empty grandstands as we are still subject to CDC regulations and state mandates in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Fortunately, our tracks and media partners have stepped up to bring the racing action live and in HD to you in your home.

Every week race fans can find all of the DIRTcar Northeast Features winners right here on DIRTcar.com including Big Blocks, 358 Modifieds, Sportsman, Pro Stocks, and Series races.

The Northeast is blessed with some of the best racing photographers in the business. Please send your Victory Lane photos to @jgrabianowski@DIRTcar.com for inclusion in the Hoosier Racing Tire Weekly Championship Update to be featured! All submissions must be turned in by 9 am Tuesday morning of each week.

It was a dogfight to the finish as the top three remained close together with Luke Horning keeping  Josh Coonradt and eventually Nick Stone behind him. Horning went on to lead the final 15-laps for the $1,000 win over Coonradt, Stone, Beau Ballard, and Jeseo who recovered from a lap 18 flat tire.

La FARGVILLE, NY – The usual suspects of the North Country field battled it out side by side on the Can-Am Speedway oval on Friday night. It was anyone’s guess as to who would come out ahead as the top five swapped positions with Billy Dunn, Michael Maresca, and Tim Fuller, Tim Sears Jr., and Lance Willix all going for the win. Maresca was able to pass the high-flying Billy Dunn and then hold off a late-race charge of Tim Sears Jr. to capture the first DIRTcar 358 Modified win of 2020.
