By Jim Balentine(Mercer, Pa)

It was a night of firsts at Michael’s Mercer raceway as 3 of the six feature winners were first timers at the historic bent egg oval!!!Chris Mcguire in one of his infrequent visits to Michael’s Mercer Raceway came away with a dominating performance winning the Penn/Ohio pro stock feature by six seconds over Andrew Gordon garnishing his first ever win at Mercer .

In the big block modified Feature Ransomville New York’s Erik Rudolph also picked up his first Mercer checkered defeating Dave Murdick and emerging victorious scoring a second win of the weekend after winning at thunder Mountain Friday night being one of the dominant modified drivers in the area.

An emotional night for the 305 sprints as Jake Gamola last year’s track champion held off Logan McCandless to win the feature event as they honored their fellow driver Brandon Hawkins who passed away from injury sustained in a construction accident last Monday.

The mighty Mercer mini stocks after numerous yellows and many drop outs came down to .257 seconds as Mike Porterfield held on for the win over Andy Thompson

After a long dry spell Eric Gabany is now 2 for 2 in 2020 in the FASTRAK Modifieds as he defeated another teammate Jim Bryce to take the win.

Nathaniel Bale pulled the upset by defeating the rest of the Mod lites to pick up his 1st career checkered flag in dominating fashion.
