Lernerville Speedway
SARVER, Penn. (April 30) - On a Chamber of Commerce Friday Night, a deep, talented field of Super Late Models rolled into Lernerville Speedway for the O'Reilly All Star Late Models Series Showdown in Sarvertown. Despite the loaded field, from time trials, through the heats and until the checkered flag waved, Robbie Blair owned the Showdown in Sarvertown! Mike Pegher Jr. won the DIRTcar Pro Late Model feature and Dave Hess Jr. won the UMP Modifieds feature.
Blair started the evening by clicking off the quickest lap during Time Trials with a time of 15.073 seconds, an amazing 1/1000th of a second off Darrell Lanigan's track record of 15.072. He followed that up by leading the first heat race of the night from green to checkered.
By fan draw, Blair started sixth on the grid but came through the field quickly to take the lead on lap four after contact with Davey Johnson. Inaugural All Star 50 Feature Winner Boom Briggs led most of the middle of the race, but in the end it was Defending All Stars Champion Robbie Blair in Sheetz Victory Lane to claim his $5,000 winner's share of the purse. Robbie's daughter Niki Blair is the ASLMS Trophy Girl and proudly joined dad in Sheetz Victory Lane along with Ms. Lernerville Mandy Golec.
Dave Hess Jr. almost stole the win away from Blair in the closing laps, but showed his hand a bit too early and settled for second. Jason Covert ran a solid race to finish third. Boom Briggs led the most laps, but faded late to finish fourth. Jared Miley came from 12th to round out the top five. Blair, Briggs, Davey Johnson and Vic Coffey won their respective heat races.
Mark Moates Jr. and Ricky Meglaye led the field to the green in tonight's DIRTcar Pro Late Model race. After a slow start, the action heated up with a three car battle for the lead between Mike Pegher Jr., Mike Blose, and Josh Holtgraver for last 15 laps of the 25-lap feature. Pegher was able to hold off Holtgraver and Blose to capture the win. Joe Martin and Butch Lambert made up the rest of the top five. Ricky Meglaye, Mike Pegher Jr. and Josh Holtgraver took the checkered flags in the heat races.
Dave Hess Jr. took advantage of a Dan Davies spin to claim victory in the UMP Modified feature and his second win of the 2010 season. Davies held the lead for the first five laps until a spin in front of the pack in turn four allowed Hess to capture the lead. Hess chose the high line after a few cautions, and held off Mike Knight for the final laps to roll into Sheetz Victory Lane for the second time this season. Hess previously won the Opening Night Feature in the DIRTcar Late Models. Rounding out the top five were Knight, Ron Davies, Carl McKinney, and Mike Eschnich. Heat winners were Dave Hess Jr. and Ron Davies.
