Mike Mahaney took the trip south into Pennsylvania this weekend from his upstate New York home to compete in Grandview Speedway’s Bruce Rogers Memorial and it paid off in a big way for Mike with a green to checked flag win and a $7,500 winner’s check plus other bonuses.
Mahaney led every lap of the 50-lap feature from the pole position and withstood five restarts taking a 2.5 second lead to the checkered flag over 2nd place Stewart Friesen.
Heat race winners for the 51-car modified field were Mike Gular, Justin Grim, Ryan Watt, and Jeff Strunk.
Michael Storms and Billy Pauch Jr. won the consolation races.
