LANCASTER, N.Y. — Matt Hirschman used a timely and efficient pit stop to gain track position and claim victory in the 36th annual Tribute to Tommy Druar and Tony Jankowiak 110 at Lancaster Motorplex Saturday night.
The win marked Hirschman’s third Race of Champions Modified Series victory of the 2025 season.
“We’ve been having a good year,” stated Hirschman. “Tonight things came together. It didn’t look like we’d have a caution and then there it was. It gave our team the opportunity to shine and they did as we were able to get off pit road quickly. I need to thank all of them and my family for getting us here.”
The race opened with Paulie Hartwig pacing the field in the early stages before giving way to Andy Jankowiak. Jack Ely then took command until the pivotal lap 92 caution that brought the leaders to pit road for fresh tires and adjustments.
Hirschman’s crew won the race off pit road, positioning him for the decisive drive to the checkered flag. Jankowiak settled for second, with Ely finishing third.
Rounding out the top five were Austin Beers and Patrick Emerling, who also set the fastest time in green-white-checker qualifying.
