HAGERSTOWN, Md. (September 20) - It took a couple tries to get the late model sportsman event underway, as Barrett slid up to the front row on the second attempt when Bruce Kane spun on the opening attempt. Barrett took the point over Pete Weaver while 2008 champion, Andy Fries grabbed third.
Barrett and Weaver made their own race at the front while pulling out to a two second lead. Dylan Yoder, who started 22nd, showed on the radar screen after an 11th lap restart and looked to be a contender as he got by Friese on the 14th and slowly began to close on Barrett and Weaver. By the 21st, he was on Weaver's bumper and the next circuit, had taken the runner up spot. It was a race between the trio and three seconds back to Fries as Yoder first pulled alongside Barrett on the 26th but Barrett held firm. Yoder tried the low line in the final turns and came up on Barrett as he was exiting and the two made contact, as Weaver made it past to finish second while Yoder spun around past the finish line and to the inside guard rail to still finish third.
Yoder passed 19 cars and was the hard charger. Kyle Lear and Fries completed the top five.
Weaver was quickest in time trials with a lap of 20.231 while Kane, Michael Collins and Barrett were also locked into the top starting sports. Heat winners were Jerry Bard, Fries, Wayne Walls Jr. and Lear.
