old ways this year, running strong and leading the DIRTcar Modified
standings. Allen Weisser has won three of the four features he’s
competed in and is second in points, while Brandon Roberts, Austin
Lynn, and Mike Brooks round out the top five.

great first season at the track with nearly 20 cars at every event.

former champions in the track’s DII Midget class. Patrick Bruns,
another former champion, is third in points, while Jace Sparks and
Adam Taylor complete the top five.
