Saylorsburg, PA., November 9th, 2013:
Frigid temperatures and a major race at
Path Valley kept car counts down but the action was hot to bring
down the curtain on the 2013 racing season at Borgers Speedway.
With a very successful 2013 racing season and
OctobestFest Series under our belts plans are in full swing for
the 2014 racing season which promises to be an “Eye Opener” for
asphalt racing in the northeast.
It did not take long for Pat VanVarick to return to Borgers
victory lane making it “Two in a Row” in Hoosier Racing Tires
TQ/Asphalt 600 Sprints.
Van Varick led every lap to take the win over Mike
Fillbrunn and Joe Agnello.
Everyone has been saying all season long it was only a matter of
time until Taylor Eccles parked his Slingshot in Borgers
Speedway victory lane.
He may have waited until the season finale but he did so
in convincing manner.
Eccles held off repeated challenges by Ryan Lacoe and
Kyle Herve and led every lap to take his first win.
Herve nipped Lacoe in the closing laps to finish a close
second followed by Lacoe and Jackson Ring.
Jackson Ring in only his second race of the season is learning
the tricks of the lightning fast Borgers 1/7 mile asphalt oval.
Jackson has just purchased his first Slingshot and is expected
to be a regular at Borgers Speedway in the 2014 racing season.
Jackson has been running the Mike Moyer 29 which finished
second in season points and had to be the wildest Run What You
Brung creation for this year’s event.
Brian and BJ Wambold transformed the Moyer car into a
sprint car winged racer minus a bunch of Slingshot body panels.
You may be familiar with Jackson’f father Tom “I Wanna
See Ya At Brown Daub Kia” Ring.
We welcome the Rings to the growing Borgers Speedway
family.

One of the major goals at Borgers Speedway for 2013 was the commitment to grow
the Karting program and the decision was made when Brendan O’Connor took charge
back in April. General Manager
Brendan O’Connor, “we made the decision from the start that we would not try to
copy what other racetracks do but we would build our Karting program from the
ground up and I feel we have achieved this goal.
With a combined effort from Jimmie Silfee, Dan Shupp and me we
accomplished what we set out to do.”
Promoter Bob Snyder, “all of our Kart classes have grown throughout the season
and will continue to do so in 2014.
Many exciting events including the very popular “Money Races” are on the 2014
schedule and 2014 will be the biggest season for the Karts in the History of
Borgers Speedway.”
It may have been the last official race of the 2013 season at Borgers Speedway
and Austin Silfee and Jared Silfee already have been crowned point champions in
their respective classes but that did not stop them from ending the season in
winning style.
After suffering mechanical problems in his heat Austin Silfee was forced to
start in the rear of the Junior 3 Restricted feature but it did not take long
for him to move to the front. After
taking the lead from Jacob Proctor on lap five a two car battle for the lead
developed between Silfee and Proctor swapping the lead until Proctor spun in
turn two. Proctor came from the rear
to once again challenge Silfee but Sifee was determined not to give up the lead.
Silfee took the win followed by Proctor, Austin Silfee, Dylan Kibler,
and, Alex Kibler.
Jared Silfee led a record field of Junior Sportsman Champ Karts to turn one and
established a strong lead from the drop of the green.
Brayden Spencer mounted a strong challenge throughout the entire race but
did not have enough to keep Silfee from the place that has become his second
home,
Borgers Speedway Victory Lane.
Spencer who turned in a fine performance in his first visit to Borgers finished
second followed by John Kendall. Shelby McLaughlin was fourth in her first Champ
Kart race, and Liam O’Connor fifth.
Gary Collins did not start.
Once again the 2013 Borgers Speedway Kid Kart Champion Liam O’Connor devastated
the field lapping the entire field with the exception of second place Jack
VanVarick. Jax Yohn was third
followed by Travis Trautman, Jeffrey Trautman, and Maggie Yeakel.
Bob Wagner took the MicroStock win over Harry Burd, Taylor Wagner, Marty
Kendall, Don Boonstra, Eric Trautman.
Eric Freeman took the Run what You Brung Open
win over John Cason, Tommy Flanagan, and Jake Kibler.

Carlucci, and Chris Melcnor.
