OPENING DAY of 2023

Edkin takes Opening Day!

In the Meyer’s RV Harrisburg Super Sportsman main event, Kenny Edkin surged to the front in a hurry and collected the Opening Day victory in the 25-Lap affair.

Edkin was scheduled to start fourth on the grid, but he caught a slight break when front-row starter Tony Jackson couldn’t fire for the feature. Troy Rhome also used it to his advantage and jumped out to the lead on the initial start.

It was short-lived. Edkin blew around Rhome on the second circuit and drove away from the competition. His pace was slowed on Lap 17, when Jay Fannasy’s car caught on fire to bring out the red flag.

The stoppage only delayed the inevitable. Edkin dominated the final eight laps and claimed the win over eighth-place starter Scott Dellinger, John Edkin, Rhome, and Luke Deatrick.
