Beers wins another feature at Mahoning Valley Speedway

For the fourth time in seven starts, Eric Beers parked his No. 45 Horwith Trucking car in Victory Lane at Mahoning Valley Speedway.

Beers had a great duel, not just with runner-up Don Wagner, whom he battled tooth and nail and did not pass until three laps to go, but he was in thick traffic from start to finish en route to the hard fought victory.Third place Earl Paules, Kyle Strohl, Jack Ely, Kris Graver and several others all waged a strong fight with Beers."Donny (Wagner) was running hard out there and I was just waiting for an opportunity to nose by him. My car was just a little bit better than his just through the center of the corners and we were about even down the straightaways," said Beers. "He wiggled his back end off (turn) two just a little bit and I got in underneath. We never touched and we ran two-three laps side-by-side. It was just great racing."Wagner may not have won, but he can still be satisfied with the result. In his last race, the car was bent up bad from an accident. He and his crew had to straighten and re-bend nearly every corner of the car. Back-to-back rainouts also helped with needed time to get the job done.Late Model winner Mike Sweeney is no longer the bridesmaid. After four straight runner-up finishes, Sweeney finally busted through for his first win of the season. It was Sweeney's 29th Mahoning Late Model victory.The Street Stocks contested the second leg of the 2016 American Rental Street Stock Gamblers Series with a 75-lap/$1000-to-win main, and while a full and solid field of cars were on hand, none could match the stellar performance of Jon Moser. Moser not only led every lap, but did so without any opposition, as he stayed plenty ahead of everyone. For Moser, it ended a near six-year dry spell.In the Dirt Mods, Mike Stofflet made a huge comeback in gaining his second win of the year.Defending Pro 4 champ Cody Kohler cruised to his first feature win of the season.Ryan Berger, a third generation racer, claimed his first career win in the 20-lap Hobby Stock main.Modified (35 Laps)1.
