Fresh off a victory at Big Diamond Speedway and rolling off from the eighth starting position, Deptford, New Jersey’s Christian Bruno never missed a beat Saturday night at Selinsgrove Speedway.

Ronald Helmick and Ed Aikin led the field to green from the front row, but it didn’t take long for Steven Drevicki to make his presence known. Charging forward in the opening laps, Drevicki grabbed the lead on lap three and quickly established himself as the driver to beat around the Snyder County oval.

While Drevicki set the pace, Bruno was slicing through traffic. Using every inch of the racetrack and carrying impressive momentum around the cushion, the New Jersey native steadily worked his way toward the front.

At the halfway mark, Drevicki remained in command as lap traffic began to play a significant role. A daring four-wide move through slower cars allowed him to maintain the lead, but Bruno continued to close. As rubber started to lay down on the racing surface, Bruno found speed where few others could, flirting with the outside wall and keeping his foot planted.

With the laps winding down, Bruno’s relentless charge brought him to the rear bumper of Drevicki. The battle for the lead intensified as the crowd came to its feet, and when the checkered flag flew it was Bruno completing the drive from eighth on the grid to score his second consecutive victory.

Drevicki settled for second after leading the majority of the event, while Kyle Spence completed the podium in third.
