CARNERSVILLE, Ga. – To win one FASTRAK VP Racing Fuels National Weekly Racing Series Championship is hard enough, but it is almost impossible to do it for a second time and back-to-back.
That is what Braeden Dillinger of Dawson, Pa., did this season by backing up his 2020 championship and winning his second FASTRAK VP Racing Fuels National Weekly Racing Series Championship.
“Words cannot express about being able to back up our 2020 championship with one for 2021. All I really can say is heads down, eyes forward, don’t look back, and keep digging,” said Dillinger about his second national title. “We as a team just set out to follow the work ethic that we have followed in years past. Races are won in the garage, making sure the I’s are dotted, and the T’s are crossed and not being afraid to try something to find more speed. Having good people and good companies helping and supporting our racing program made this all possible.”
Dillinger raced in several states during the season, including Florida, South Carolina, Maryland, West Virginia, and Pennsylvania. His second National Championship came on the back of nine FASTRAK sanctioned wins, one non-sanctioned win, and 10 second-place finishes spread out over several FASTRAK sanctioned tracks – Roaring Knob Motorsports Complex in Pennsylvania, Tyler County Speedway, and Elkins Raceway in West Virginia, and Hagerstown Speedway in Maryland.
Rounding out the top 5 in FASTRAK VP Racing Fuels National Weekly Racing Series points were Donnie Dotson of West Union, W.Va., Luke Hyre of Rock Cave, W.Va., Derrick Shaw of Buckhannon, W.Va., and Lucas McDonald of Goodhope, W.Va.
There were 167 different drivers that scored points during the national points season.
