Last year’s Saturday night Gambler’s Classic was won for the first time by the very colorful Andy Jankowiak of Buffalo, N.Y. Known simply as Andy J. passed Anthony Sesely of Matawan, N.J. for the lead, then held off Tim Buckwalter of Douglasville, Pa., Ryan Flores of Mooresville, N.C. and 2018 Indoor series and NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour champion Justin Bonsignore of Holtsville, N.Y.

After a problem in one of Friday’s Four 20 lap features and his Saturday heat race, Erick Rudolph of Ransomville, N.Y. took a provisional starting spot for the Gambler’s Classic. Rudolph then drove from a 25th starting spot to finish fifth keeping his series point championship hopes alive.

Rudolph, a full-time dirt Modified racer during the outdoor season, would later clinch the Indoor Auto Racing Series Fueled By VP title with a series record ninth career victory in the inaugural event held in Syracuse, N.Y. in March.

The Indoor Auto Racing Series will return to the same four venues in 2020. The series will open on the concrete floor of the PPL Center in Allentown, Pa., on Friday and Saturday January 3rd and 4th with two complete programs for the TQ Midgets.

Following the “Concrete Series” event in Atlantic City at the end of January, a special non-point event will be held on a banked clay oval.
