Roaring Knob Motorsports
MARKLEYSBURG, Penn. (July 18) - As she has so many times this season, Mother Nature did not prevail Saturday night allowing three new winners to visit victory lane at Roaring Knob Motorsports Complex. Brad Jenkins of Lemont Furnace collected a career first win in the Ft. Necessity Garage Chargers, while DJ Troutman (Hyndman PA) won his first-ever Knob feature in the Commonwealth Marketing Group Super Late Models. Jim Byers from McClellandtown scored his first Dick Rugh's Auto Parts Street Stock feature of the season while Greensburg's Danny Angelicchio (Brooks Automotive Group FASTRAK Late Models) and Fairmont WV's Vic Vandergrift (So. Fayette Nursing Center Modifieds) were repeat winners.
Making his first visit of the season, Scott Rhodes took the early command of the 25-lap Super Late Model Feature event while a torrid battle was ongoing behind as the front runners sorted themselves out in their pursuit of Rhodes. The whole complexion of the race changed in an instant on the 15th circuit when a lapped car spun in front of the leaders collecting Rhodes and Doug Horton. This handed the lead over to DJ Troutman with Chad McClellan now on his tail. Just as McClellan got by Troutman, the caution waved nullifying the pass, and on the restart McClellan again took up chase as the two battled it out. On the final lap McClellan made a last ditch effort, but ran out of room and tagged the back stretch wall ending his bid, while Troutman went on to collect his first-ever win at Roaring Knob. Current points leader Tim Senic was second followed by Jim Kutas, Bob Gordon (from 10th) and Chuck Clise (from 19th) to fill the top five. Billy Holbert, Robbie Scott, LC Powers, Horton and Greg Gellner completed the top ten. Senic, Kutas and Rhodes won the heats for the 25 cars on hand.
Ricky Meglaye jumped into the lead at the start of the FASTRAK Late Model feature. Meglaye was untouchable until a spin occurred right in front of the leader, and Meglaye20had nowhere to go. The new realignment put second running Dan Angelicchio on the point for the restart with Roger Laughlin taking chase. Angelicchio hung on for the win, his second, in a new car that hours earlier was a bare chassis just back from the frame shop. Laughlin claimed second followed by Troy Shields and Garry Sisson. Meglaye, who charged back from the rear of the field, finished fifth. Dave Gump, Mike Cuthbert, Mike Howell, Quinton Wyandt and Greg Tressler filled out the top ten. Angelicchio and Cuthbert were the heat winners.
