As the winter season begins, Millbridge Speedway prepares to crown five new champions. The summer season brought a lot of exciting finishes, big crashes, and unexpected turn of events. Millbridge will crown Hunter Kohn as the beginner box stock champion. Hunter completed his 2nd full season on top of his division. This eight year old knows how to put his outlaw kart on the podium with one win, ten top 3’s and fourteen top 5’s! Hunter has already moved up, along with a lot of his racing peers, to the box stock division in the winter season. Watch out for him to be a contender for a win in the 2016 season. Caden Kvapil finished 2nd in points, Aidan Turner finished 3rd, Kynzer Flynn took 4th, and Tyler Dolack rounded out the top 5. Caden Kvapil will be crowned beginner box stock Saturday champion, Hunter Kohn 2nd, and Tiffany Claridge 3rd.
Kyle Campbell took off with the box stock and the intermediate division championship. Kyle took the trophy home a combined 17 times in two divisions. He finished in the top 3 positions 26 times and came home top 5 30 times this season. In box stocks, Gavan Boschele finished 2nd, Richard Gould finished 3rd, Olivia Penney finished 4th, and Taylor Gray 5th. Olivia Penney will take home the Saturday box stock champions trophy, Jordyn Bregoli 2nd, and Cole Hilton 3rd. In the intermediate division Carson Kvapil followed Campbell to take home 2nd, Tucker Scanlon 3rd, Alex Bodine 4th, and Roy Hayes 5th.
