SOPHIA – The chaos had to wait for the Crashin’ Hackett’s Night of Destruction.
It was rescheduled for Saturday night at Caraway Speedway after last Saturday’s postponement because of wet weather and an unappealing forecast.

The race card includes a 50-lap Enduro, 35-lap Challengers, 15-lap UCARs, 20-lap Mod 4s and 15-lap Bootleggers.
The specialty events include a demolition derby, trailer / boat race, crawl figure-8 race, bowling with cards and bus races
Admission comes with $30 per vehicle load. Races begin at 8 p.m.
About the points
The Late Models division has had a limited schedule. Dean Ward tops the list with 292 points, slightly ahead of Jamie York and Camden Thomas with 286 each.
The UCARs class has been intriguing with Jason Richmond (1,150), Jeremy Moose (1,130), Steven Collins (1,107), Justin Smith (1,097) and Josh Phillips (1,040) clustered near the top, while Ron Mock (954) is the most-recent winner.
The relatively small field of Modified drivers has Rudy Hartley (1,150) leading the way, with Jeff Linkous (772) in the second spot. Hartley leads the division despite without a race victory.
Jaxson Casper had 1,146 points for a huge edge on Billy Gregg (775) and Mitchell Wright (754) in the 602 Modifieds. His victory in the July 20 double-points feature extended his advantage.
In Challengers, it’s Brody Duggins with 1,178 points, leading rookie Bryson Pickard (1,090) and Christian Henderson (1,014) in what could become an intriguing stretch run.
For Bootleggers, it’s likely to come down between Bentley Black (1,194) and Bobby Bescher (1,118) with perhaps Corey Rose (892), who has won three races, making a push for the top spot. Since placing third in the second race of the season, Black has been first or second in every feature.
CARS Tour update
The CARS Tour, which made a stop earlier this summer at Caraway Speedway, held a make-up card Saturday at North Wilkesboro Speedway, with Treyten Lapcevich winning for the first time on tour. Lapcevich, a Canadian, led the final 57 laps.
The runner-up was Corey Heim, followed by Mini Tyrrell, Carson Kvapil and Brenden Queen. Former NASCAR Cup Series champion Kevin Harvick placed 11th.
