Fifteen Races, Fourteen Different Winners, Another Busy Weekend of Racing in the Books at Star Speedway
(August 12, 2023) — It was an action-packed weekend at Star Speedway, with racing scheduled for both Friday and Saturday night, and with mother nature’s cooperation this time around. A host of drivers found their way to victory lane over the course of two nights. Friday night’s schedule had nine races on the card including a double feature event for the K-COB Slingshots, while the Saturday evening schedule had six main events including double features for both the Izzett Construction Late Models & Woody’s Auto Street Stocks.
Friday evenings racing saw Dwight Souther Jr., and Brian Caswell split victories in the two main events for the K-COB Slingshots. Souther crossed the stripe ahead of Nate LeClair & Dave Cameron in the first main event for the division. Caswell topped the competition in the second feature of the night for the Slingshot, with LeClair once again taking home runner-up honors and Jaxson Fillapone rounding off the podium.
The NELCAR Legends and Bandolero divisions were also on Friday’s schedule and Zach Martinez took home the win in the Legend Feature, while Grayson Day took top honors in the Bandolero main event.

The Pro V-8 win went to Matt Robinson, and Traver Michaud visited victory lane once again in the Super Trooper main event.
On Saturday, Connor McDougal and Erick Sands split the Late Model main events, while Charlie Baldwin claimed both wins in Woody’s Auto Street Stock action.
McDougal claimed checkers in the first feature for the Late Models with Jaret Curtis crossing the stripe behind him in second and Erick Sands third. When the second main of the night rolled out on track for the Late Models, it was Erick Sands who showed the way earning himself the victory. McDougal trailed Sands to the line in second race, with Jimmy Connors rounding off the podium in third.
