BRP Big Blocks and UEMS Emods Invade on Friday Night
Sarver, PA (July 10, 2024) The ground will be pounded and the Earth will shake on Friday night as both the BRP Modified Tour and Elite Motorsports UEMS EModified Series make their first appearances of 2024 at The Action Track! They'll be joined by the Peoples Natural Gas Sprint Cars and the Millerstown Pic-A-Part Pro Stocks making for a four division frenzy with tons of exciting racing action!
The BRP Mod Tour will be making just their third opening in 2024 following dates at Hummingbird Speedway (Erick Rudolph Win) and Ransomville Speedway (Mat Williamson Win). Currently, Rudolph leads the standings ahead of Fab4 pilots Garrett Krummert and Rex King Jr., and Ayden Cipriano who currently stands in the fifth position. The tour normally is accompanied by fields of 24 or more cars and fantastic racing from green to checkered flags. Keep a sharp eye out for a plain, white, #6 machine with DIRTcar Hall of Famer Brian Swartzlander behind the wheel on Friday night! Swartzlander attended Tuesday's Test & Tune event and was getting around The Action Track in a very quick manner with the new equipment courtesy of Sprint Car driver Bill Rose who acquired the machine over the offseason.
Following several years off, the Elite Motorsports UEMS Emod series has regrouped and reformed, ready for action in 2024. The series makes it's first Lernerville appearance of the season on Friday night. Ty Rhoades and Dustin DeMattia have garnered several Steel City Stampede buckles in their careers thus far in Emod action and should be in attendance on Friday night. Keep an eye out for Brian Ruhlman who will be making the trek from Michigan to compete on Friday night as well as Dennis Lunger, Steel City Stampede Reboot winner Vinnie DePizzo, and area Emod star Jonathan Taylor, author of a Steel City Stampede victory should be expected as well.
When last we left off following the racing in June 28, Dale Blaney took his first feature win at Lernerville since 2015 in that seventh round, holding off stiff challenges from both AJ Flick and invader Matt Farnham in the final half of the race en route to the checkered flag. It was a refreshing win in a season for the Sprints that have seen seven time track champion AJ Flick and regional hot shoe Brandon Spithaler each come away with three wins, leaving the rest of the drivers within looking for answers on how to get past either one and stay there on the way to Terry Bowser Excavating Victory Lane.
Meanwhile, there's now three Schneider's in the top five of the Millerstown Pic-A-Part Pro Stock standings and a heated battle between Christian and Chris up front. The two drivers are separated by just six points and since Tyler Dietz has elected to spend more time working on his Late Model programs, one of them could very well be on the way to their first career Lernerville track championship!
