Despite no Interstate Sprint Car Series races being completed this year there have been three Todd’s Auto Body Sprint Car shows. All three features have produced different winners including Ian Bandey, Tanner Holmes, and Tyler Thompson. Thompson enters 2019 as the defending ISCS champion.
The same of case of parity, when it comes to different drivers to best the field, can be stated in the Mohawk Metal IMCA Modifieds. Collen Winebarger, Jake Mayden, Derrick Young, Eric Ashley, and Kevin Williamson have all visited the winner’s circle. The Late Models have completed two shows this year and both have been action filled. In those two races Paul Culp and Brian Smith both emerged victorious when the checkered flag dropped.
In the IMCA Sport Mods both Jorddon Braaten and Matt Sanders are tied for the most win in the division, at two each. Single race victors include Buddy McHargue and David Schmidt. Finally, in the Hornets Graig Osborne has had a successful track championship defense with the only driver putting together two wins. Joe Maricle and Eric Ashley have the honor of paying a visit to victory lane just once during the current campaign.
