DYLAN EVANS GETS SEASON'S FIRST WIN IN SUPER LATES
Dylan Evans established himself as the driver to beat at the start of the 20-lap S.R. Pete & Sons Late Model feature. Evans shot past Geoff Carey and Max Robichaud on the first lap to take the lead. Donald Lingo, Jr. looked like a sure threat moving from fifth to second by lap two and Mark Pettyjohn, looking to make it three in a row, shot from seventh to third.
By halfway, Evans had a 1.5 second lead over Lingo and Ross Robinson had just taken over third. Lingo’s challenge would end two laps later when a broken drive shaft slowed him to a stop in the second turn. It was Robinson’s turn to crank up the heat on Evans but the young lion was up for the challenge hold him off on the restart.
The yellow would be out for a final time with four to go for a spin. Once again Evans was not to be denied his first win of the season as he shot to the checkered. Robinson settled for second with Pettyjohn third. Fourth went to Amanda Whaley and Ricky Elliott came on strong after the final restart to grab fifth. Lingo and Whaley won the heats.
