Just a week after destroying a car in the state of Iowa, Isaac Chapple showed no signs of being shaken up as he dominated the feature event. “We had a rough night killing a car at Knoxville, but we got a piece together for Pennsylvania,” said Chapple in victory lane.
Steve Drevicki and Chapple brought the twenty-car field to the drop of the green with Chapple grabbing the lead going into the first turn ahead of Drevicki. A three-car tangle involving Blake Vermillion, Gale Ruth, Jr. and Brett Perigo slowed the action on the track. Once restarting Chapple resumed control of the race and as the race progressed, Chapple pulled away by a quarter of track.
The real action was for second between Drevicki, Matt Westfall and Korbyn Hayslett. At the checkers Chapple had almost a 8.0 second lead over second place Drevicki. Matt Westfall finished third ahead of Korbyn Hayslett and Dustin Ingle. Carmen Perigo set fast time for the night at 16.063 seconds. Heat race winners were Jesse Vermillion, Steve Drevicki and Isaac Chapple.
Brothers Jeremy and Mike Wonderling led from the front row of the RUSH Crate Late Model feature and after a false start Jeremy Wonderling raced out to lead the first lap. Mike Wonderling fell back to third with Max Blair moving into second. These two battled the entire 30-laps for the second position but Blair came out the victor. Jeremy Wonderling led every lap to pick up the win followed by Blair and Mike Wonderling. Austin Hauser finished fourth with Colby Beighey in fifth.
Another brother duel on the track was featured in the 270cc Micro Sprint class between J.T. Horwat and brother Zac Horwat. J.T. took home the checkered flags with Zac following in second. Third went to Connor Metheney followed by Keaton Himes and Bella Betts.
Kalen Jackson bested the Junior Sprint field over Nolan Minnich, Black Buckle, Deryk Jones and Logan Jackson.
