Missler Stopped at Six! Liskai Wins Second Straight Kings' Royal!

The 2019 edition of the 1/64th scale Kings Royal featured an eventful night of racing.  The evening started off with John Warren putting a stop to Ryan Missler's win streak and ended with Justin Liskai grabbing his second King's Royal crown in as many years.

John Warren gets the bounty!

 Eight racers signed in for a night in celebration of the "Big E" Eldora Speedway.  The warm up act was 6 lane x 20laps championship points race for "Eldora Stocks" to get everyone in the racing mood.  When the dust settled John Warren took down Ryan Missler for the first time in the new year.  Warren picked up the mystery bag "bounty" filled with 50y Missler Racing merchandise (Thanks Ryan!).  Ryan almost kept the streak going, finishing runner up to Warren.  Justin Liskai finished third.

Next up was the "Joker's Wild" prelim event for sprint cars.  The six lane x 25 laps event was taken by track owner Lee Booze over Justin Liskai and John Warren.

The final event of the night was the annual "Little" King's Royal.  Liskai, moved up one more spot on the podium in the finale, taking his second straight King's Royal crown, getting revenge for his heartbreaking World 100 defeat.  Ryan Missler rebounded for second with John Warren rounding out a solid night for third.

Justin Takes the Win!

Missler Wins 6th Straight, Goes to Top of All Time Win List...

He may be a Late Model racer in the summer, but Ryan Missler has mastered open wheeled racing on the 1/64th scale.  Missler swept the annual Chili Bowl Nationals for H.O. Midgets winning all three mains, vaulting him to the top of the Redmen Raceway all-time win list.

Here come the Midgets!


Seven drivers signed in to do battle in the brand new AFX powered 3D printed Chili Bowl Midgets.  Ryan Missler took the first main with 25 points over Lee Booze and Rich Lesiecki tying for second with 23 points each.

In race two it was Missler again topping Booze 26 to 25 points for the win. Justin Liskai and Lily Missler shared the third podium spot with 20 points.

Missler got the broom out for the third feature turning 89 laps in four minutes for the win.  Lee Booze again finished second with John Warren notching a podium spot. 

Winning (and watching) the Chili Bowl!


Afterward "Bounty" was called out from the crowd, begging the question, "Can anyone stop Ryan Missler?"
