Rain delays action, but doesn’t stop racing

BUTTE — Rains may have delayed the action, but weather didn’t stop drivers from hitting the quarter-mile strip last weekend at Alaska Raceway Park, outside of Palmer.

Raceway officials scheduled three days worth of racing into a two-day stretch, which allowed fans to see drivers compete in eight classes on Sunday and another 10 on Monday.

Highlights included Chugiak’s Rick Nissen winning the Alaska Raceway Park King of the Street bracket race and Wasilla’s Mark Eslinger winning top dragster honors.

Anchorage’s Toni Prockish was the top eliminator on Sunday, while Anchorage’s Josh Mommsen was the top dragster.
