West Virginia Trip Results In Super Holiday Weekend

Jeremiah traveled with the BRP Modified Tour for their first-ever visit to West Virginia Motor Speedway, and it resulted in a profitable and winning weekend.

Friday night Jeremiah brought the 37MD machine home in 2nd place, and he followed that up on Saturday night with a 1st place finish.

Chris Haines drove the 35H team car to a 12th place finish on Friday and an 8th place finish on Saturday. A nice holiday weekend for the 37MD Racing Team!

Jeremiah Shingledecker delivered a birthday present to his three-year-old daughter, Mazy, by taking round two of the Hillbilly Hustle at West Virginia Motor Speedway. His third victory of the year catapulted him into the lead of the BRP/Hoosier Tire Modified Tour points battle.

“The track was really good tonight, it had multiple lanes,” Shingledecker said. Although runner-up Kevin Hoffman started to close in on him in the late stages of the race, Shingledecker was not concerned. “I wasn’t worried until I saw anybody under me, at my door.”

Jeremiah’s win at WVMS was win #9, which is the most races he has ever won in a single season.

Jeremiah Shingledecker clinched the Engles Trucking Services DIRTcar Big Block Modifieds track championship on Sunday.

In the DIRTcar Big Block Modifieds, Jeremiah Shingledecker crashed on the opening lap of the second heat race after contact with rookie Don Brown. The incident allowed Rex King to close within 59 points of Shingledecker. However, even with the rain, King would not have caught Shingledecker, who repaired his car to be able to start the feature race. It was Shingledecker?s second consecutive title at Tri-City. King and Brad Rapp won the DIRTcar Big Block Modified heat races. Travis Shingledecker flipped the team backup car hard in turn two during the second heat race. He was uninjured.

The Diehl Auto Group DIRTcar Modifieds had top billing tonight in honor of the Joe Pitkavish Memorial 30-lap feature. For 28 laps it appeared as though Tom Winkle would make up for last Friday Night’s last lap snafu in turns three & four when he jumped the cushion while running second. Winkle had checked out and was not going to be caught until the caution flag waved on lap 29 for Rex King Jr. On the Green-White-Checker restart, Kevin Bolland slid under Winkle entering turn one and Winkle got into the left rear of the #777. Bolland’s spin collected front runners Brian Swartzlander and Rex King Sr. and resulted in Winkle being sent to the tail for rough driving. Defending Track Champion Jeremiah Shingledecker inherited the lead and cruised to an unexpected victory, his second win of the season.
