Minersville, PA September 6, 2015
The fans packed the stands for the Jack Rich Coalcracker Inc. night at Big Diamond Speedway. The 358 Modifieds were racing for a $10,000 pay check and joining them were the Savage 61 Roadrunners and the Excel 600 Modifieds. The feature starting lineup was set by a draw for the top 12 heat winners. Danny Bouc and Colt Harris would draw the front row starting spots for the big event and bring the field to the green. Bouc would take over the top spot with Harris on his heels. The caution would fly for the first time on the 7th lap when Tommy Scheetz, Craig VonDohren and Ryan Krachun would tangle together. The field would be reset and Bouc would now be challenged by Billy Pauch, who was feeling the pressure of Rick Laubach. Laubach would take over the top spot on lap 14 and Bouc would now have Ryan Godown breathing down his back challenging him for the runner up spot. Godown would get around Bouc and set his sights on Laubach for the lead. Godown and Laubach would battle it out and on lap 25 Godown would be able to take over the top spot. On lap 40 the caution would fly so that the teams could refuel their cars, the restart would see Godown and Laubach battle it out to the checker flag, and Godown would be able to take home the win and the $10,000 paycheck, despite driving the final laps with a broken right front shock. Laubach would finish second followed by Duane Howard, Jeff Strunk and Ryan Watt. The heats were won by Duane Howard, Rick Laubach, John Willman and Tommy Scheetz. The consolations were won by Bobby Trapper and Ryan Watt.
The Savage 61 Roadrunners were ready to rumble for their last race of the year. Joey Brennan and Andy Fayash III would bring the field to the green flag for their final 25 lap feature of the 2015 season. Fayash would quickly jump out in front and have to hold off Brennan who was working on holding off Tim Fitzpatrick. Fitzpatrick would get around Brennan for the runner up spot and begin to chase down Fayash. The caution would fly on lap 8 when Shawn Muhall would spin and then it would fly again for more issues on the restart. The field would get back to racing and Fayash would once again take over the lead but this time he had 2015 Points Champion Chris Holland right behind him, trying every move he could to take over the top spot. Before long, Terry Kramer added his name to the mix and the three of them would have a fierce battle for the win. On the last lap, Fayash would slow coming down the back stretch and Holland would pass him for the lead and cross the finish line first, Kramer would finish in the runner up spot, followed by Jeremy Becker, Devin Trexler and Kris Ney. Fayash would coast across the finish line in 7th place after he blew a whole in his oil pan. It was noted that this would be the last race for the # 157 tribute car to Fayash’s father and brother. The heats were won by Terry Kramer and Andy Fayash III.
The Excel 600 Modifieds had another great turn out for their night of racing at Big Diamond Speedway. Defending race winner Richie Hitzler and DJ Hunt would start on the front row for their 20 lap feature event and bring the field to the green. Hitzler would quickly jump out in front, but Skylar Sheriff took over the lead on the 5th lap and from their Hitzler began to fad back in the pack. Sherif would have to deal with Brian Carber who was able to become the leader after a restart on lap 11 and Carber had to hold off the challenges of Aaron Bowes. Bowes wold have his hands full with Josh Pepe, who started 15th, and Pepe would be able to get around Bowes and chance down the leader.
