POST FALLS, Idaho -- Mike Eller Jr. of Newman Lake, Washington captured the hard fought win for the ICAR Racing Series taking the 50-lap main event Saturday night at Stateline Speedway. Eller brushed off challenges by second place finisher Colton Garber for the win.

Dash winner Amanda MacDonald took fifth after running in second early in the race. Stacey Rogers won a dash. Corey Juhnke and Greg McKinley won heats.

Matt Henderson set fast time for the Legends cars and won a three car battle between Montana’s John Hilliker and dash winner Alex Kerslake to take the victory in the 30-lap main event.

Master division driver Bob Kronenberg finished fourth followed by Scott More. Local Spokane drivers Joey and Jake Bisset won dash and heat races. Travis Archer won the B heat.

Veteran driver and Street Stock champion Randy Lasswell returned to the track with a repaired car after a damaging wreck earlier in the year. The repairs proved successful as Lasswell set fast time and dominated the heat and 20-lap main event.
