Big Diamond Speedway Heats Up with Laubach’s Second Straight Win

Rick Laubach made it two wins in a row Friday night at Big Diamond Speedway, charging from deep in the field to win the BQ Concrete 358 Modified feature during Tony’s Meat Market Night.

Laubach, of Quakertown, started 12th and at one point fell back several positions before working his way through the field. In the closing laps, he joined a battle between Duane Howard and Logan Watt for the lead.

Watt moved past Howard with four laps remaining, but Laubach quickly closed in, slipped by Watt one lap later, and held on for the victory.

The win was Laubach’s 30th career victory at Big Diamond Speedway and marked the fourth time he has recorded back-to-back wins at the track.

“Jake once again gave us a great track and you could run multiple lines tonight,” Laubach said after the race.

In the USS Achey Inc. 602 Crate Sportsman feature, Kevin Smith of Lehighton used a lap-15 restart to get around Ryan Conrad and pick up his first win of the season.

Minersville’s Joey Brennan won a tight Red White and Blue Autos Inc. Roadrunner feature, edging Alex Schoffstall by just .021 seconds at the finish. The win ended an eight-year dry spell for Brennan, who last won a feature in 2018.

Jeff Foster of Aspers captured the Infinite Solutions Group Keystone Sport Compact Series 4-Cylinder feature after passing Larry Eck with two laps remaining.
