JOE WARREN IS THE MAN TO BEAT IN RUSH CRATE LATE MODELS
In the RUSH Crate Late Model’s it was “The Thrill� Matt Hill that would bring the field to the green. Hill struggled in the Battle of the Bay race to begin the year, but certainly found his stride on Saturday night. Hill along with Battle of the Bay winner, Joey Warren, would start the feature first and second. Cautions would plague the Crate Late Models to start, but eventually Hill would start to stretch his legs.
Hill would lead flawlessly for the first 15 laps, and on any other night that would have picked him up the win. However, it was the 20 lap Crate Qualifier, and Hill would need 5 more laps to seal the deal. But on lap 16 Joey Warren would crank things up, and shoot around Hill. Warren would bring Mike Wharton in tow, and Hill would drop two spots down to third. Wharton would get close enough to contend, but never had what it took to get around Warren, and Warren would go on to claim his second win of the season.
WINNER - Joe Warren, 2. Mike Wharton, 3. Matt Hill, 4. Chip Disharoon, 5. Brandon Sturgis, 6. Sparky White, 7. Scott Tessman, 8. Paul McKinley, 9. Richard Harden, DNF - Jamie Eicholz -18 Laps, Daniel Drury - 18 Laps, Charles Shawver - 9 Laps, Travis Justice - 8 Laps, Matt Glanden - 3 Laps, Derek Magee - 3 Laps, Trevor Collins - 3 Laps, Disqualified - Wes Clifton - Light at Scales
