Column: Another Runner-Up For Yankowski On Super DIRTcar Series; Williamson Stays Close With Third
Column By: MIKE WARREN / SUPER DIRTCAR SERIES – SELINSGROVE, PA – Alex Yankowski crossed the line second Wednesday evening at Selinsgrove Speedway, earning back-to-back runner-up finishes on the Super DIRTCar Series and his fourth of 2025.
The Covington Township, PA driver closed in on Friesen late in the race, but didn’t have enough momentum to catch the No. 44 before the checkered flag.
“Stew was just lights out,” Yankowski said. “When we got the lead down to a second, our lap times started to match, but when I was close to him, he would just creep away. He was flat-out the better race car tonight. Hats off to those guys.”
With another second-place finish, “Kid Rocket” extended his Series points lead for the second straight night to 24 points over Mat Williamson, who finished third.
“Money Mat” drove into a podium position after starting 10th and avoiding the Lap 12 crash.
“I didn’t get to see much of it,” Williamson said. “I was on the inside lane, and I just went to the guardrail and slammed the brakes and tried to go through it slowly and get out of the chaos. Luckily, I didn’t get piledrived from behind and got through it safely.
“Our guys are really good at making sure we finish races. I feel like it’s going to be our strong suit this year.”
Alex Payne finished fourth, earning his third top five in the last four Series races, and Jimmy Phelps rounded out the top five, after starting 25th, and being involved in the Lap 12 crash.
Reimert, who ran second until he got a flat tire on Lap 40, finished 13th.
