In a rare feat, all four featured race winners Friday night at Lernerville Speedway walked away with division championships as well, capping a competitive but also rain-soaked season of dirt track racing.

A.J. Flick won his ninth Lernerville Sprint Car title. He started the main event fifth and worked his way around the leaders over time, finally passing Ryan Newton around the top of Turn 4 with four laps to go and holding on for the win.

Michael Norris took home his fifth track championship in the Late Model feature after entering the night with a slim lead. Starting fifth, Norris quickly moving up to second before taking the lead after a restart just a few laps in. He cruised the rest of the way to victory.

In Big Block Modified action, Garrett Krummert won his third title after his second victory of the season, becoming just the fourth driver in the series to win back-to-back track championships. He follows Brian Swartzlander, Jeremiah Shingledecker and Mat Williamson as the division’s repeat champions who also won on championship night. Krummert also started the night fifth and took the lead after incidental contact on Erick Rudolph with seven laps to go.

Then there was Cody Koteles, who won his first Lernerville title in the Pro Stock division. Koteles started in the pole position and held the lead most of the night except until Brett Hutira slid ahead multiple times briefly in the final laps but could not hold on.
