Althouse earns back-to-back MVS Street Stock wins

The Street Stock feature began Saturday with a complete restart after Josh Kuronya failed to fire, but all cars retained their original spots. Brandon Christman took the outside pole and led early until Frankie Althouse powered past on Lap 7. A spin by Cody Geist on Lap 9 brought out the caution, and on the restart Randy Ahner slipped inside Christman, shuffling him back to fifth while Jill Snyder and Jon Moser moved forward.

The drama picked back up on Lap 24 when Kuronya spun in Turn 3. On the restart, Snyder dove low under Ahner, making contact that sent him sideways. Ahner was placed at the rear of the field and had to charge back. Out front, Althouse held strong to claim the win, with Moser second and Adam Steigerwalt third.

In the 602 Modifieds, Max Pfeifer and Nick Baer led the field to green at MVS. Pfeifer jumped out early, but Baer struck quickly, slipping under Pfeifer on Lap 5 to take command.

From there, Baer set the tone, showing strength while Pfeifer and Makayla Kohler battled to keep pace. The race stayed green until Lap 17, when Pfeifer looped on the backstretch to bring out the caution and set up a late restart. With the field reset single-file, Baer wasted no time pulling away, holding strong through the final laps to seal the victory. Pfeifer finished second, and Kohler was third.

The Hobby Stocks kept fans on edge with plenty of drama. The opening lap saw cars clash while jostling for position, setting the tone for the 25-lap feature. By Lap 10, Travis Solomon muscled his way forward with a bold inside pass to climb into contention. Trouble struck on Lap 18 when Ryan Petro spun across the front stretch into the grass after contact with James Tout.

Through it all, Shayne Geist controlled the action, staying out front as three-wide battles unfolded behind him. Geist never wavered, taking the checkered flag for his fourth win of the season. Solomon finished second after a hard-fought charge, with Tout holding on for third.

The Pro 4 feature started with Bob Kibler on the pole and Jeremy Guerra alongside. Kibler jumped out front on Lap 1 as Guerra settled into second, but Bobby Kibler Jr. soon completed a pass to move into the runner-up spot. Just two laps later, Cody Kohler charged low in a three-wide move with Guerra in the middle and Jake Kibler up high. Kohler completed the pass, but contact between Guerra and Jake Kibler brought out the yellow, sending Jake to the pits with a flat.

On the restart, Bobby Kibler Jr. powered to the lead. Kohler applied heavy pressure to Bob Kibler, looking both inside and outside to make his way around. By Lap 12, Kohler dove inside Bob Kibler, the two making contact in Turn 3 before Kohler completed the pass. Even with a late spin and a single-file restart on the final lap, Kibler Jr. held firm to capture his sixth win of the season.

At the finish, it was Bobby Kibler Jr. out front, Kohler second, and Guerra third.

The Microstocks put on a show, but it was Alex Greenzweig who stole the spotlight. After slipping past Roger Snyder early, Greenzweig never looked back, building a commanding lead. Snyder held second while Lydia Snyder and Ian McGuire battled close behind in the early stages.

As Greenzweig stretched his advantage to nearly half a track, Roger Snyder fended off challenges to finish second. Lydia Snyder edged McGuire for third.

The Junk Car feature went the distance with 50 laps of chaos. From the drop of the green, Wyatt Fulmer set the tone, showing speed that kept him out front. Behind him, Neil Kunkel and Steven Schlenker battled hard, swapping spots inside the top three.

Drama struck on Lap 43 when Anthonie Hunsicker’s hood pins broke, sending the hood flopping open and leaving him with no visibility. Despite the tough break, Hunsicker never pulled off. Meanwhile, Fulmer stayed clean through traffic and stretched his lead.

At the checkered, Fulmer claimed the win, with Kunkel second and Schlenker third.
