GRIFFITH BRINGS HOME THE BACON, HARTMAN 2ND, BUSSINGER 3RD
We closed out the 2024 season on Friday August 23rd and it was a great end to the season. Points races were closely contested in the USRA modifieds and the Tom Finke Excavating USRA Hobby Stocks. The modifieds ended in a tie, with the tie breaker coming down to the driver with most wins, The Hobby stocks finished out with a 1 point difference.
In conjunction with his Nutrien Ag USRA B-mod track points title Ty Griffith takes home the $500 from the Bringing home the Bacon award for having the most points out of all 5 classes. He will also get his Track points fund check matched. Coming in second was Brand Hartman, he brings home an extra $300.00 and Third place with a $200 payday was Gavin Bussinger.
This $1,000 points fund is funded by track sponsors. It is based on the total points accumulated over the season. The track management team is looking for sponsors to increase the points fund.
