Quick Results 8.9.19-Young Scores Pro Stock Win-Wearing Pulls Off Upset Victory- Sodeman and King Jr Take Checkers

Sarver, PA (August 10, 2019) The air was calm and still on a near perfect night at The Action Track, but the night of racing on the track was full of surprises, and bizarre circumstances as the Fab 4 Revved up with Marburger Farm Dairy graced the clay.

Jack Sodeman Jr. and Rex King Jr. each scored important feature wins that helped their causes in chasing their respective division titles. Meanwhile, Brandon Wearing managed to pull off perhaps the upset of the season in a dramatic fashion. And Terry Young found himself standing in Terry Bowser Excavating Victory Lane for the first time since 2016 with a rather convincing feature victory.

It was a diverse field on hand in the Peoples Gas DIRTcar Sprints as drivers from far reaches of Ohio and Central Pennsylvania including former feature winner Danny Mumaw. Sodeman brought the field to the green and immediately went to work putting distance between himself and the field. Mumaw moved forward quickly from his fifth starting spot, taking the second position from Gary Kriess Jr on lap five. Once behind Sodeman, Mumaw was able to slice down Sodeman's lead at times and got close to making a case for the lead. However, in lapped traffic, Sodeman was smooth and fast, splitting lapped cars with ease when necessary and keeping Mumaw at bay to collect his second feature win of the season.  Carl Bowser managed to climb from his 10th starting spot to a solid third place finish to round out the podium.

Tyler Dietz looked strong throughout the 25 lap Precise Racing Products DIRTcar Late Model main event and looked to be well on his way to his first feature victory in the division. The rookie Late Model driver and Pro Stock veteran stretched out a sizable advantage over the field on hand from the drop of the green flag. Dietz was able to lap most of the field in fact in his early race domination. Meanwhile, points leader Ken Schaltenbrand, Mike Miller and Tommy Beck saw their night end early after a lap five caution.  Following a lap 19 caution, Dietz was being pursued by Colton Flinner as the two drivers tangled in turn two as Flinner attempted a slide job that pushed Dietz over the banking.  Flinner inherited the lead but succumbed to a flat tire on a restart with two laps to go putting Wearing in the lead. Once out front, he never looked back and claimed his first career Lernerville Speedway victory.

Garrett Krummert brought the Diehl Automotive DIRTcar Big Block Modified field to the initial green flag and looked stout early on as he lead the first five laps until Dave Murdick wrested the lead away from him on lap six.  However, John Mollick found the track and his car to his liking as he showed a great deal of speed while moving from his fourth starting spot to pass Murdick for the lead on lap 11.  Mollick was able to put distance between himself and the field while out front while behind him, Rex King Jr. was making a charge towards the front that saw him overtake Murdick for the second spot on lap 12.  King was able to hunt Mollick effectively and began taking looks underneath him for a pass but was unable to make a move with Mollick in clean air. However, once considerable lapped traffic came into play, King was able to make his way around with two laps remaining and held off a last charge from Mollick on the final set of turns to collect the victory.

In the Millerstown Pic-A-Part DIRTcar/RUSH Pro Stocks, Terry Young found himself in the lead on lap four following an early caution and never looked back. The veteran pilot managed to hold off a fierce challenge from defending champion Corey McPherson who found himself in a battle for the second spot with ninth starting Tyler Dietz. Dietz was able to overtake McPherson on lap 14, however the battle allowed Young the opportunity to simply drive away from the field as he found victory lane for the first time since 2016.

The Fab4 returns next Friday night for Diehl Automotive night.
