Mini Stocks in spotlight this week at Raceway 7

By Jay Pees

Conneaut, OH, (July 2, 2013): Specialty Products Mini Stocks will be the featured class this week as they race for $300 to win. Defending track champion Bud Sergeff started out his title defense with a win back on opening night then had a series of misfortune including mechanical failure on the final lap while leading on the feature on June 21. Last week Sergeff apparently shook his bad luck and drove to a convincing win. However, points leader Brad Cole, a winner earlier this season, holds a 14 point lead in the standings over rookie Dale Fraschetti, who in turn, holds an eight point edge over Sergeff. Jason Easler, also a winner this season, is fourth, eleven points behind Sergeff and Rookie Hoyt Mihalak is currently fifth.

The Evergreen Lake Park Campground FASTRAK Late Models standings show Chad Wright holding a 77 point edge over Dave Airgood. Dennis Lunger, a former class champion, currently holds third. All three have feature wins in 2013,

Defending champion Joel Watson moved back to the top of the standings in the Bonnell Collision Center E-Mod championship standings with his win last week, his second of the season. Mike Potosky holds onto second, 17-points back with the veteran Bill Taylor third, another 47-points back.

The Western Reserve Animal Clinic Street Stocks standings have Chris Withers leading the way with an 18-point advantage over Ed Bolyard. Both are former champions. Eric Reinwald, who won his first-ever feature race on June 21, currently is third, 51-points behind the runner-up.

Russ Kapalin, a former Street Stock driver, leads the McDonalds Meats Economod standing by fifteen markers over Chuck Steinle Sr, a long time veteran of local racing. Jace Ferringer and Brian Hathaway, a two-time winner this season, are tied for third, 55-points behind Steinle.
