During the drivers meeting before the start of Saturday's meet, Mahoning Valley Speedway race director Tim Santee indicated to all racers there will be 100 show-up points awarded to all those who come to the season-ending Octoberfast.

Although the final points race is listed as Oct. 1, that incentive for the Oct. 22 big-stakes event could have major implications for both title hopefuls and throughout the finishing order of the top-10 rundown.Eric Beers, however, may be the exception to all that as the season-long point leader racked up his seventh win of the year and easily extended his ranking at number one, so much so that he is virtually untouchable heading into those final two races.Beers used a lap 23 restart to overtake John Markovic and then cruised over the final 11 tours for his 18th top five in 21 starts."We got lucky on that restart. There was a little bit of speedy dry down in turn two and I knew Johnny (Markovic) was going to hit it first. He wiggled up the track and gave me just enough room," said Beers, who registered his 52nd Mahoning Modified win.John Markovic took second spot for his best effort of the year, while Earl Paules had a great late-race dogfight with Kris Graver to secure third. Rounding out the top five was Austin Kochenash.In the Late Model, 13-year old Broc Brown drove like a seasoned veteran as he captured his career first win and became the youngest winner with the class in doing so.Brown was in a race-long battle with some heavy hitters as he clashed with stalwarts twice and even three times his age.Between 2000 and 2010, Mark Deysher dominated the Street Stocks with win after win and a pair of class titles to boot.Deysher then took off the next few years before getting back in the saddle just a few weeks ago and his return to action came full circle as he scored his first win since 2008. Deysher jumped out front at the get-go and would then work tirelessly to fend off Dan Freundt for the victory.Billy Lasko outlasted Ricky Yetter for his fourth Dirt Mod win of the season, and in doing so, took over the point lead with one race to go. Lasko led every lap despite Yetter hovering all over him the entire time making for a very thrilling run to the checkers.Pro 4 point leader Josh Scherer passed Kailyn Beers on lap three and then stayed the course the remaining distance en route to his sixth win of the season. The victory gives him a solid lead heading into the final point race Saturday as Scherer looks to sew up his first career championship. Cody Kohler gave Scherer a nice run for his money in taking runner-up honors.In the Hobby Stock feature, Austin Beers started out the night by winning his heat race. He then carried that momentum into the feature by leading all 20 laps and earned his first career stock car win in a hard-fought battle over Ryan Berger. Beers, who is the son of Modified kingpin Eric Beers, had a handful of Berger lap after lap, but the young lion hit his marks perfectly each time by and held on for the unforgettable victory. He also extended the record number of different winners to 14.Devin Schmidt was the Small Car Enduro winner.Modified (35 Laps)1. Eric Beers, 2. John Markovic, 3. Earl Paules, 4. Kris Graver, 5.
