Eddie Hoffman used two feature wins and a second place finish to win the Frank Welch Memorial this past Friday night at Grundy County Speedway. In a new format for 2012, the winner of each of the three features would get one point. The rest of the field would increase by a point by each position. The driver with the lowest overall score at the end of the night would be declared the winner.

In race No. 1 the field started straight up with fast qualifier Anthony Danta on the pole. Pat Kelly picked up the win followed by Hoffman, Danta, Chris Cooling and Josh Nelms.

Race 2 saw a total invert of lead lap cars from race 1, which put the invert at 20. Hoffman worked his way through the field from the 19th starting spot and picked up the win over Dave Gentile, Robbie Pyle, Larry Schuler and DJ Weltmeyer.
