Action Track USA – May 22, 2013

Kutztown Tidbits

  • The first ever official event for Kutztown’s JeffreyHogueRealtor.com Action Track USA was cut short by rain. Brian Carber won the wingless 600 micro feature while Larry Raifsnider was declared the winner of the slingshot feature, which ended under rain at lap  12.
  • The SpeedSTRs made their debut as the new headline division with a star-studded roster, but did not get to run their feature. The 270cc micro sprints will also have to run their feature at a later date.
  • An overflow crowd and 126 racecars filled the pit area for the event.  The brand new layout of the speedway presented somewhat of a challenge as nearly every race during the evening was plagued by numerous yellow flags.

  • Frank Cozze broke through with his first win since returning to modified competition. Cozze had spent the last two years fielding his own 410 sprint car.
  • Ricky Yetter led the first 23 laps of the feature but was passed by Cozze as they took the two to go signal. Craig Von Dohren and Duane Howard would get by Yetter on the final lap as well.
  • Kevin Beach Jr. won again in the sportsman feature, his second at the speedway and third overall this season. Not captured on video, but Andy Cozze crashed in turn three after his steering wheel came loose.
  • Jeremy Becker (roadrunners) and Mike Walls (street stocks) were victorious in the two fendered classes.
  • Kyle Killian was looking to return to victory lane in the roadrunner feature, but his front end broke late in the race in turn 1. Killian’s car slowed as a result, was rear-ended by Marc Berzowski, and then hit head on by both Glenn Rowan and Terry Kramer Jr.
  • A fitting tribute was held for longtime Big Diamond racer Andy Fayash Jr. before racing began. His son, Andrew Fayash III, had a strong race going at the front of the field until his race ended in the Killian crash.
