KERENS – Saturday night’s action in the mountains offered fans a night of regular racing with a Louie’s Bargain Warehouse Street Stock special.

Stakes were high Saturday night for street stock drivers. Their eyes were locked in on a higher payout to the first place feature driver. This feat was not accomplished easily with additional laps added to the feature race.

The June 10 feature race winners are as follows:

  • Budweiser Dirt Super Late Models – Billy Holbert
  • TKS Contracting/High Point Construction FASTRAK Crate Late Models – Luke Hyre
  • Holbrook on the Hill UMP Modifieds – Mitch Thomas
  • Louie’s Bargain Warehouse Street Stocks – Kevin Keene
  • Cordial Logistics Edge Hot Mods – Josh Mullenax

Join Elkins Raceway this Saturday for more regular racing and a TKS Contracting/High Point Construction FASTRAK Crate Late Models Special.

Weather permitting, pit gates will open every Saturday night at 5 p.m. with $30 admission. General admission to the grandstands begins at 6 p.m. with $15 admission. Hot laps will begin at 7:30 p.m.
