There are just two regular season point races to run at Mahoning Valley Speedway and while Earl Paules locked up the Late Model crown last week after his ninth win of the season, heading into the Saturday, September 27 race meet, eighteen other drivers are still vying for the remaining four class championships.

Paules is attempting to make track history by winning two titles in the same season. He heads the Modified rankings over Don Wagner and Nevin George.

In the Street Stocks there is TJ Gursky who is hoping to repeat as champion but with the top seven all within reach, which includes Todd Ahner, Josh Mooney, Joe Steigerwalt, Jason Kuhn, Gene Bowers and Jason Frey, it appears evident that the outcome will most certainly come down to the final lap of the final race.

Kris Graver is en route to winning the Dirt Modified crown for a second straight year. To do so he must hold back contenders Randy Thomas and Mike Stofflet who also have their sights set on the number one spot.

The 4-Cylinder Stocks show seasoned veteran Jeremy Miller maintaining a 42-point gap over Jake Kibler. Also, the next three in the standings, Dan Freundt, Nick Baer and Kyle Strohl are legitimate challengers.

The racing action gets underway starting at 6:00. Grandstands open at 4:00.

Joining the lineup will be the ATQMRA TQ Midgets which are the fastest timed race cars to turn a lap on the paved quarter mile at just over 100 mph.

On October 6 the final point night takes place featuring a 100-lap, $3000-to-win main for the Modifieds. Also to be decided will be the Mahoning Modified Madness Series.

Mahoning’s season closes out with the “Octoberfast 2012, Fright Night in the Valley” on October 27.

Highlighting the day will be a 130 lap Modified race paying $5000 to win. Also on the schedule that day will be a $1500-to-win, 75 lap Late Model feature and a 100 lap Street Stock main that pays $1800 to the winner.
