NASCAR RE/MAX SERIES

ELKO, MN (May 17) -- Kevin Cywinski returned to NASCAR RE/MAX competition in grand style by winning the 250-lap Windsor Windows 250 at Elko Speedway Friday night. Cywinski, who started sixth in the field, collected $6,100 for the win on the 3/8-mile oval.

Thirty cars attempted to make the 26-car field. Dan Frederickson captured the Bud Pole Award after recording a qualifying lap in 13.894 seconds (97.164 mph). 

Steve Carlson, Dan Frederickson, Pete Moore, Josh Vadnais, and, of course, Kevin Cywinski each led the race at different times. Cywinski was the only member of the group to lead more than once. Cywinski took the race lead on lap 92 over Vadnais and led the remainder of the way to take the win.

Defending series champion Steve Carlson finished in second place. Brian Hoppe took third after starting 19th. Eddie Hoffman and Pete Menard rounded out the top five. A total of nine drivers finished the race on the lead lap.

Eddie Hoffman leads the series standings with 330 points followed by Steve Carlson with 316 points as the series heads to Wisconsin Dells, WI on Monday, May 27 for their next race.

NASCAR FEATHERLITE MODIFIED SERIES

NAZARETH, PA (May 19) -- Nevin George took his first career win in the NASCAR Featherlite Modified Series on Sunday afternoon. George battled defending series champion Mike Stefanik until the checkered flag fell in the Service Electric 100. The margin of victory was a scant .069 seconds over the hard charging Stefanik. George started the event in 13th and was one of only a handful of drivers opting to run the entire 100 laps without stopping for fuel or tires. The gamble paid off and George collected the $10,050 win.

After the win, George commented, "I'm not sure this has hit me yet. We were a little loose but ran the whole race without pitting. After the spin there was some concern about flat spotted tires but the car was working great."

Finishing in second place was Mike Stefanik, followed by Tony Hirschman, Robbie Summers and Eddie Flemke. Twenty-three of the 40-car field finished the race on the lead lap. The event drew over 50 cars attempting to gain entry into the 40-car field.

Mike Stefanik leads the series points chase with 607 points followed closely by Robbie Summers with 602 points. Rick Fuller, Todd Szegedy and Jerry Marquis round out the top five.

The next event for the NASCAR Featherlite Modified Series is this Friday, May 24, at Stafford Motor Speedway.
