Steigerwalt scores breakthrough win

Starting from the pole, Adam Steigerwalt quickly established himself as the driver to beat and led all 30 laps to earn his first career Street Stock victory at Mahoning Valley Speedway. Frankie Althouse finished second, followed by Brandon Christman, Jill Snyder and Josh Kuronya.

Jeremy Henry led the opening nine laps of the Hobby Stock feature while fending off challenges from Ryan Berger and Shayne Geist. Following a caution, Henry drifted high on the backstretch during the restart, allowing Geist to take the lead and drive away for the victory. Nick Schaeffer finished second, followed by James Tout, Jared Frye and Henry.

Nick Baer led from the drop of the green flag in the 602 Modified feature and cruised to another Mahoning Valley victory. Cody Boehm finished second, followed by Max Pfeifer, Makayla Kohler and Jake Kerstetter.

The Pro 4 feature was marked by controversy. Early leader Rob Derfler was disqualified after making contact with Ron Pierson Jr. under caution, while Bob Kibler was later disqualified following an incident involving members of his crew. Pierson inherited the lead and held on for the win. Kadie Pursell finished second, Rich Pursell third and Tyler Stangle fourth. Bobby Kibler Jr. and Mark Fister were unable to start the feature after suffering heat-race damage.

Tyler Wagner methodically worked his way to the front, taking the lead on lap four before pulling away for the TQ Midget victory. Kyle Herve finished second, followed by Jasper Ziegafuse, Mark Janisch and Lexi Przybylinski.

In the Classic East Coast TQ Midget feature, Brady Routzahn grabbed the lead on the opening lap before Bill Fischer charged from fourth starting position. Fischer made the winning pass on lap six and led the rest of the way for the victory. Routzahn finished second, Mike Corigliano was third and Mallory Kutz placed fourth. Brian Dobbins was unable to start.

Times News photographer Gavin Kester was there to capture all the action.
