Track Announcer Barry Angstadt noted early in the night that Briggs Danner was competing in three classes and had the potential to win speedster, 360 sprints and in modifieds for a total of three wins at Day 2 of the Danny Serrano 100 Memorial. Unfortunately for Briggs that didn’t happened and he ended up with a 3rd, 15th and 7th in his respective classes but another driver stepped up and ripped off three wins before the night ended.
Night 2 of the Danny Serrano Memorial turned into the Billy Pauch Sr. show as he posted three wins in one of racing. Pauch won the Speedster 15 lap feature; modified 2nd triple 20 feature and the Danny Serrano 100 Cash Dash sweeping everything he competed in during the night.
Craig Von Dohren and Neal Williams were winners in the modified triple 20 # 1 and # 3. and Alex Bright won the USAC East Coast 360 Spirt car feature.
In addition to collecting three wins in one night Billy Pauch Sr. also earned the pole position for the Danny Serrano 100 on Sunday. Pauch hopes keep the streak going and get win number 4 on the weekend at the $10,000 to win Danny Serrano 100 tomorrow.
The night started out with the 17 car Speedster field being led for 9 laps by Alex Yankowski. A lap 9 restart saw Billy Pauch Sr. overtake both Alex Yankowski and Briggs Danner for the lead and then cruise into victory for his first win of the night.
