HAGERSTOWN, Md. (August 8) - It was a long time coming for Marvin Winters but it all unfolded at the right time Saturday night on Auto Locater Small Fry Night at Hagerstown Speedway when he collected his first win since taking honors in the Johnny Roberts Memorial on July 1, 2006. Overall, it was his 22nd career late model triumph.
"It was a great night, said Winters of McConnellsburg, Pa. "I have to thank owner Tex Shaffer. He's stuck by me. It's been three years since we've won a race and actually I haven't won a race for Tex since 1997. It's great to be back in victory lane for him."
Ashley Barrett, Shippensburg, Pa. won by half second over Kyle Lear for his season fourth in the Hoosier Tire Mid Atlantic late model sportsman feature. It was win number six for Hans Stamberg of Hedgesville, WV who led from the eighth lap in the Ernie D's pure stock special 20-lap event. Chris Ebersole of Big Cove Tannery, Pa recorded his first ever Enduro Dash victory.
Starting third, Winters trailed pole setter Al Shawver Jr. patiently while Brian Booze moved past Jim Yoder for the third spot on lap three. Shawver held a steady line while Winters pursued and they caught rear traffic by the 12th lap. Already past one rear car and another ahead, Shawver chose the wrong route entering the third turn as Winters saw opportunity when the bottom opened up and he charged ahead on the 14th circuit. Following a 15th lap restart when Al Cheney and Yoder both stopped with problems and Roy Deese Jr. pitted for a team check of his car, Winters slowly increased his lead each lap until taking the checkered by 2.13 seconds over Brian Booze.
"Al was quicker than I was but I stayed on the bottom," Winters said. "I figured soon or later, he was going to get up in the slick and get sideways or something, but it all worked out in the long run."
Shawver held to third with J.T. Spence coming from 12th and Frankie Plessinger completing the top five. Billy Wampler, Mike Lupfer, Tyler Hershey, Rusty Sites and Steve Gibney rounded out the top ten. Winters and Lupfer won the heats.
