LANCASTER, N.Y. (September 16, 2024) – Lancaster Motorplex management has made the decision that after the rainout on September 7, the 2024 points have been decided. After considering the dates with end of the year races at area speedways, speedway management made the decision as no adequate dates were available to run the season championship events.
George Skora III from Eden, NY won his second Insinger Performance/VP Race Fuels Sportsman track championship in three seasons by 22 points over reigning divisional champion Tony Carbone. Tim Garlock, Shawn Nye, and Jake Christman rounded out the top five in points. 36 different drivers received points in 2024, marking the highest for the division in the region.
