The track awards a perpetual trophy in Jagger&#8217;s name to the winner of the Quad Pro division each season on the evening, but the speedway riders also race hard in his memory and this year was no different!<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Last season there was a Handicap Main run on the night that young teenager Caleb &#8220;Flying Mullet&#8221; Stewart won. He has been very fast in certain races the past two seasons, and many felt he could be knocking on the door of his first scratch main event soon at age 18!<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Stewart would take 2nd&nbsp;place in his semi to transfer to the Main behind Casey Donholt. Lenny McBride, a 5-time track champion, won the other semifinal, with &#8220;Smokin&#8221; Dave Oakden 2nd.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The last chance saw &#8220;GP&#8221; Jonny Oakden sweep around the outside into the lead, and it was a lead he never relinquished as he took the final spot for the feature.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_102076\" style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.greenstreetdata.com\/PS\/owego\/files\/2024\/06\/Speedway1-1.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-102076\" class=\"size-full wp-image-102076\" src=\"http:\/\/www.greenstreetdata.com\/PS\/owego\/files\/2024\/06\/Speedway1-1.jpeg\" alt=\"The Flying Mullet takes first scratch main at Champion!\" width=\"400\" height=\"563\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.greenstreetdata.com\/PS\/owego\/files\/2024\/06\/Speedway1-1.jpeg 400w, http:\/\/www.greenstreetdata.com\/PS\/owego\/files\/2024\/06\/Speedway1-1-213x300.jpeg 213w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-102076\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Pictured at the podium is Caleb Stewart, center, Casey Donholt, left, and Lenny McBride on the right.

Donholt held the lead for three laps, but on the final lap going down the back straight, with Donholt on the outside, Stewart caught some traction and a massive wheel stand ensued in which many thought Stewart would end up looping out due to! Instead, he pulled it down and got a burst of traction that powered him under Donholt going into the corners, and he passed and got a good shot out of turn 4 heading to the checkered flag for his first ever scratch main!&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Donholt on his Matrafailio Racing powered GM was second, and Lenny McBride, riding a Justice Brothers \/ ODI Grips \/ TANKS AUTO \/ Joe V&#8217;s Auto powered GM took third!<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Toby Relyea would take his second Jagger Roberts Victory in the Pro Quad Wars with a real smooth ride in the feature!<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Champion Speedway hosts The Hurricane Hank Bassett Cup on June 22&nbsp;at 7 p.m. The action has been hot and the track has had over 40 speedway riders three times this season, the most of any track in the Country!<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_102077\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.greenstreetdata.com\/PS\/owego\/files\/2024\/06\/Speedway2-1.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-102077\" class=\"size-full wp-image-102077\" src=\"http:\/\/www.greenstreetdata.com\/PS\/owego\/files\/2024\/06\/Speedway2-1.jpeg\" alt=\"The Flying Mullet takes first scratch main at Champion!\" width=\"300\" height=\"551\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.greenstreetdata.com\/PS\/owego\/files\/2024\/06\/Speedway2-1.jpeg 300w, http:\/\/www.greenstreetdata.com\/PS\/owego\/files\/2024\/06\/Speedway2-1-163x300.jpeg 163w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-102077\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Pictured is Quad rider Toby Relyea.
