NEW CUMBERLAND, Md. (June 7) - D.J. Troutman, Jimmy Moreland and Marcius VanMeter scored repeat wins in their respective classes on Sunday evening at The Rock, Allegany County Speedway.
The three drivers, along with new winners Brian Duffy and Jeff Tuel, fought off the competition and the sweltering heat.
Troutman dominated for the second time in three races in the Allegany Scrap Limited Late Model race. He won by well over half of a track after starting on the outside front row.
Matt Sponaugle picked his way up to second by lap six but couldn't keep pace with the leader. Dan Zechman, Travis Stickley and Matt Cosner completed the top five.
Moreland won his third Factory Stock 8-Cylinder race in a row over Wade Peer, Matt Stickley, Joe Rodgers and Alan Lowery.
Moreland, who started seventh, and Peer tangled for the lead with two laps to go. The incident occurred as the leaders came up on the car of Joe Readd and Moreland took the blame after the race.
Peer had led the race from lap three after getting the lead from Stickley.
VanMeter got off to a fast start in claiming his third TC Race Cars Hobby Stock feature win. He started at the back of the field and took advantage of an opening on the high side as the race went green to pick up four spots.
From that point, he tracked down leader Steve Fadley on the second lap to gain the top spot. VanMeter won by nearly two seconds over Fadley, Jason Gilliland, David Puckett and Jimmy Sacco.
Following a lengthy intermission to soak the track, Duffy won the first feature of the night for his first win since the 2005 season. By winning the Sunoco Street Stock feature, Duffy collected a bonus from winning a feature the previous night at another speedway.
Rick Wright was the runner-up for the second straight week. Wright nearly caught Duffy by the halfway point but fell back until the first caution with three laps to go.
Duffy prevailed by three car lengths over Wright, Chris Chamberlain, John Whitfield and Randy Zechman.
Tuel made his return to the speedway following a nasty crash in April and hung on after a few tense moments at the end of the Factory Stock 4-Cylinder feature.
Tuel, who led every lap, was nearly collected following a bumping incident in the second turn with two laps to go. He went on to win by eight car lengths over Ryan Peer, Dwain Rhodes, Tyler Alkire and Steve Riggleman.
The Rock will be back in action on Friday, June 13 with Limited Late Models, Street Stocks, Hobby Stocks, 4-Cylinders and 6-Cylinders. For more information about The Rock, visit the speedway's web site at www.therockspeedway.com.
