FAST FIVE Return to Action at Latrobe Speedway

LATROBE, PA (JULY 3, 2024): The Fourth of July week is upon us, and it’s time for the FAST FIVE divisions to return to action along with fireworks on Saturday, July 6, at Latrobe Speedway.

The K2 Engineering FASTrak Pro Late Models, the Joe’s Body Shop & Towing Pure Stocks, the Special T Metals LLC Modified 4 Cylinders, and the Marilungo Disposal LLC Strictly Stock 4 Cylinders, and the return of the IMCA RaceSaver 305 Sprints from the Alleghany Sprint Tour and the Laurel Highlands Sprint Series.

The RacerSaver Sprint Car drivers have multiple races this week before heading to Latrobe Speedway on Saturday night. Like Latrobe Speedway, the Allegheny Sprint Tour hasn’t competed much due to the weather. AST has had four races, with four different winners. Jeremy Kornbau, Jim Pattock, Vivian Jones, and Jacob Gomola have one win each. Who will be the next driver to collect the check at Latrobe Speedway?

In our weekly point standings, Braeden Dillinger (14D) leads the K2 Engineering FASTrak Pro Late Models with 211 points, followed by Clinton Hersh (16) with 193. In Joe’s Body Shop and Towing Pure Stocks, Jeremy Zufall (1) sits at the top of the points with 204, followed by Corey Faris (22F) with 184, and Jim Zufall (3Z) with 183. Moving to the Special T Metals LLC Modified 4 Cylinders, Brandon Myers (307) has a 21-point lead over Tifani McElhose (24), 187 to 166. A close battle looms in the Marilungo Disposal LLC Strictly Stock 4 Cylinders, with Brian Noel (39) holding a one-point lead, 188 to 187, over Justin Connors (21). Seth Nedrow (26) holds a two-point lead over Dylan Nedrow (16), 176 to 174. Dan Shortman (9) holds down the fifth spot with 171 points.
