Local racers win big

At the start of the 2020 Montana-Bump-N-Run season, organizers weren't even sure if there would be a season. Three local residents ended up having a lot of success over the course of the season, which was filled with nine points races. The association had a year-end awards banquet on November 14 where those local drivers that traveled the circuit were honored.

Justin Stieg, driver of car #2, ended the season as the Super Stock points champion. Stieg entered eight races this year in a car that should be retired and won the championship, aided by a season sweep of all three A main races in Plentywood. Stieg led 20 laps in those three races. He also won one heat and had 5 top five and 6 top ten finishes.

Stieg also finished in second place for the season in the Modified division. He fell just short of winning the Modified Championship, earned 778 points. He won twice - leading 6 laps in those two wins - and had 7 top 5 finishes.

His father, Doug Stieg, driver of car # 92, finished third in Super Stock for the season. Doug entered eight races this year and earned 746 points. He had 4 top five and 7 top ten finishes, won one heat race and led for 3 laps before his kid got around him.

David "Freaky" Adams finished sixth in Super Stock in his #50 car. Adams entered all nine races this year. He won his first heat race at Ekalaka in August, had 4 top 5's and 7 top ten finishes earning 717 points. His efforts this season also earned him the 2020 Rookie of the Year award.

Congratulations to the successful Montana-Bump-N-Run racers from Ekalaka.
