The Sport 4 division came down to the wire for the final spot in the Final Four, with Mother Nature ending the party after two of three weeks in the playoff points battle. That leaves Justin Leduc, Richie Johnson, Matt Pion and Tyler Duhancik to contend for the track championship on D.A.V. Championship Weekend, September 27. The mix of contenders in this division got to the Final Four on different paths. Although Leduc had an up and down start to the season, he caught fire in the second half. He’s been inside the podium in seven of nine events heading down the stretch run, including three feature wins. Leduc has been the fastest car in the track of late, and will roll into the Final Four with plenty of momentum. Joining him, Richie Johnson has been a master of consistency in the second half of the season. In his last seven events, Johnson has top-five finishes in all of them. Although he hasn’t won yet in 2024, Johnson enters the Sport 4 Final Four looking to pounce. There would be no better time to win a race. Matt Pion was on top at the end of the regular season, earning three bonus points towards the playoffs. Using those to his advantage after a tough first week of the playoffs, Pion enters the Final Four looking to seal up the championship. He has two wins on the season. Tyler Duhancik had a rough and tumble last time out, wrecking in practice and having to use a borrowed ride for the main event. He may be a darkhorse in the battle to some, but there have been races this year that Duhancik was the dominant force in the division. The Final Four championship event for the Sport 4 division will take place on D.A.V. Championship weekend on Friday, September 27. Racing begins at 7 p.m. Tickets are available online at SeekonkSpeedway.com.
