Bitzan takes midseason titles at Runestone Raceway

Talk about it

Taylor Bitzan ended the first half of the Runestone Go-Kart schedule with two midseason championships in the Sportsmen Red and Sportsmen Blue divisions.

Bitzan has almost 2,000 points in both divisions so far this summer. Justin Froemming is the midseason champ in the Junior I division, while Megan Miller and Nicole Schmidt take the honor in the Junior II and Stock Medium divisions, respectively.

Bitzan and Froemming both had feature wins on July 18 as they added to their point totals. Bailey Rosch took home a feature win in the Rookie Division as well, while Corey Storck, Ta’ohe Nelson and Matt Lanue each picked up a win themselves.
