Lernerville Speedway
SARVER, Penn. (August 27) - Dave Hess Jr. did not have much of a challenge to clinch his first career Lernerville Track Championship. Entering the event with a 38 point lead, Hess simply had to start his heat race to capture the crown, which he did. Unfortunately for Hess, unlike Bolland and Holtgraver, he didn't record a win or even a top five finish. Hess found the front stretch wall on lap seven and had to be towed to the pits with an unceremonious DNF. Hess joins his father as a Lernerville Speedway Late Model Track Champion; Dave Hess Sr. was the Track Champion in 1980 and 1983.

Jammin' John Mollick started on the outside pole alongside of Chuck Sarver and took the lead from Sarver on lap two. For the next 23 laps it appeared as though Mollick would end the season in Sheetz Victory Lane after experiencing some of the worst luck of any driver throughout the season. But last week's feature winner Jared Miley had other plans! After starting 10^th, Miley steadily made his way forward, avoided a few cautions and battled Dave Murdick for second place for most of the final 15 laps of the feature. Miley finally cleared Murdick for good on lap 22 and set his sights on Mollick. It appeared as though Miley's charge would be too little, too late, but he slid under Mollick and took the lead in turns one & two. Mollick tried to return the favor and slide under Miley in turns three & four, but Miley rocketed off the top of turn four and took his second straight DIRTcar Late Model feature to close the 2010 Fab Four Racing Season.

John Mollick had his best run and finish of the season, but it was a bittersweet second place. "Double Duty" Dave Murdick scored his second top five of the night by finishing third. Doug Eck finished fourth ahead of Lynn Geisler. The top ten shook out with Michael Norris, Chuck Sarver, Sean Puz, Dan Swartzlander and Tyler Dietz. Gregg Satterlee (11^th), like Hess (12^th), finished the early after losing fluids during the caution brought out by Hess. Miley and Eck were National Guard Heat Race victors.
