Mike Mahaney Wins Bruce Rogers Memorial Money Maker at Grandview Speedway

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.
