8-20 Eagle WIN!
The Valentino’s IMCA Hobby Stock A saw Sydney Yost’s #20 lead lap 1 with Casey Moyer’s 38C, the 24X of Cody Leifeld and 26L of Brint Lemke rounding out the top 4. Moyer took the lead on lap 2 and Brett Saathoff jumped up to third in his 11B as Leifeld held fourth. Saathoff moved up to second the next time around as Damon Richards jumped the 67 to third. Richards kept moving up, taking second the next lap and grabbing the lead after one more circuit as Leifeld grabbed the third spot. Leifeld advanced to second with 11 to go. Roy Armstrong cracked the top 4 with 7 to go and moved to third the next time around, but Yost stopped in the pit entrance and the caution lights came on. That made the top 4 Richards, Leifeld, Moyer and Armstrong. Armstrong lost the spot to the 13F of Chad Fegley with 6 to go. Fegley stopped on the front stretch with 3 laps left and was hit hard by the 38A of Travis Albracht. Armstrong advanced to third with 2 to go, but ended up spinning out in turn 4; moving the 62 of Justin Busboom into fourth. The top 4 ended up Richards, Leifeld, Moyer and Busboom.
“The track was very racy tonight, with all lines open. Those late cautions made me very nervous. I want to thank my crew guy Brian Glock and especially my fiancée Ashley Snitily” said Richards. Richards’ sponsors are Demon Decals and Charger Chassis.
