SOPHIA – It was largely an endurance test for drivers during the weekend at Caraway Speedway.
Saturday’s race card wasn’t completed until Sunday afternoon.
It ended with Jason Garwood in front of Rudy Hartley for the Mod 4s feature as the final event of the card that was extended because of weather problems.
In Challengers, pole sitter Enoch McNeill placed first ahead of Brody Duggins across 35 laps. Duggins stayed in the division’s points lead, while Bryson Pickard was in third place followed by Cody Griffin and Jeffrey Wood.
In 602 Modifieds, Jaxson Casper was the race winner ahead of Mitchell Wright and Rich Hunter.
In UCARs, Ron Mock won a shortened feature that was doused by Saturday night’s rain. The scheduled 20-lap race was reduced to 17 laps.
The runner-up was Justin Smith, with Jeremy Moose, Josh Phillips and Steven Collins in the next three spots.
The Bootleggers race was won by Allen Vance, who was ahead of Bentley Black, with the top five also consisting of Corey Rose, Bobby Bescher and Joe Robertson.
The next big race night for Caraway Speedway is scheduled for Aug. 3, with Challenges, Mod 4s, UCARs and Bootleggers on the docket in addition to an Enduro / any car race, demolition derby, trailer / boat race and a figure-8 race.
Schedule updates
The Sam Ard Memorial for the Late Models that on original schedules Saturday was nixed prior to last weekend because of scheduling conflicts for several teams in the division. That will be rescheduled for later in the season.
The Sam Ard Memorial is a tribute a former Late Models, Busch Grand National and Modifieds driver.
“With some teams committed to other events, we felt it would be best to reschedule the event to later in the season,” Caraway Speedway owner Darren Hackett said. “We felt it would be a dis-service to Sam’s memory to host an event that was short on cars.”
