YORK HAVEN, Pa. — California racer Cory Eliason won Thursday night’s Greg Hodnett Foundation Race for winged sprint cars at BAPS Motor Speedway.

Eliason held off Central Pennsylvania veterans Brian Montieth and Lucas Wolfe to claim victory. Gerard McIntyre was fourth, with Ryan Smith driving the Heffner Racing No. 72, which was Hodnett’s ride, adorned with the No. 27, during the final years of his career, coming home fifth.
Kenny Edkin raced from 10th-starting spot to win the super sportsman feature.
