BECHTELSVILLE, PA September 4, 2016 . . . There are two repeat champions and one new champion based on the final point standings released by NASCAR sanctioned Grandview Speedway.

Veteran racer Mike Gular kept the race close throughout the season settling for second with 4371 points without benefit of a feature win. Ten time track champion Jeff Strunk finished third in the final standings with 4286 points and two main event victories.
VonDohren’s five feature wins made him the first driver in the history of the one-third-mile, banked clay track to claim 100 feature victories during his career.
In the BRC Late Model division of competition Chuck Schutz was able to capture three feature wins and tally 3683 points to earn his eighth Late Model crown. Wayne Pfeil tallied 3415 points to grab second spot in the final standings.
