ALGER, Wash. (June 24, 2022) — Night number two of the 50th annual Jim Raper Memorial Dirt Cup at Skagit Speedway presented by the Skagit Casino Resort found local hero Trey Starks taking home the win in a highly entertaining contest. At the end of two nights of point scoring, Tyler Courtney was crowned high point man and is guaranteed a front row starting spot in the $50,000 to win Saturday night main event.
Starks and Dominic Scelzi raced out front of the A Main and thrilled the huge crowd with a number of tight exchanges and narrow passes. Scezi managed to take the top spot at the line for just one lap, using a slidejob in turn three to lead lap 15, but Starks returned the favor in turns one and two to retake the top spot. Starks would turn away a number of additional moves by Dominic to bring home the feature win and the $4,000 payday. Scelzi settled for second with Shane Golobic racing to third. Kerry Madsen was quick time. DJ Netto, Starks, Blake Carrick and Greg Hamilton won the heats. Jonathan Allard was fast time. The top six drivers in combined points are locked into the Pole Shuffle for Saturday night. Those drivers are Tyler Courtney, Justin Sanders, Dominic Scelzi, Jason Solwold, Kerry Madsen and Shane Golobic.
Travis Jacobson returned to victory lane at Skagit Speedway in the NW Focus Midget Series. Jacobson led laps 8-15 to take the win on the Friday night portion of their show, ahead of Jared Peterson and Shane Smith. Heat wins went to Stewart Lee, Michael Hodel, Jake Munn and Nick Evans,
