MIDDLETOWN, N.Y. (April 29) – The Super Gen Products and Champion Power Equipment-sponsored CRSA Sprint Tour made its first of five stops on the schedule at Orange County Fair Speedway on Saturday, which was also the first of five races on the Hard Clay Challenge Series.
Thomas Radivoy, a native of Circleville, took his no. 1Q IMCA RaceSaver Sprint Car to victory lane leading all 20 laps of the green to checkered flag main event.
Radivoy made the redraw through a third-place finish in his heat race and pulled the outside pole. Emily VanInwegen earned the runner-up spot after she came away from the redraw with the pole.
She was able to hold off Eddie Strada, who came away with third. Christian Rumsey and Tyler Jashembowski rounded out the top five.
