September is nearing its conclusion, and with that — at least to yours truly — comes the most wonderful season of them all. Fall has officially arrived, and to me that means a couple different things. One, of course, is the beginning of archery season.

The “blue car,” of course, is the familiar Kreitz Racing No. 69K entry driven by veteran pilot Lance Dewease. From his 8th starting position, it took him a bit to get to the front, but when he did there was no looking back.

First and foremost, you need a fast racecar and a driver that’s plenty capable of handling it. And if the last couple of years at Port Royal Speedway has proven anything, it’s that the No. 39M is not at all short on speed and Anthony Macri can certainly get it done behind the wheel at the Juniata County half-mile.
