Swartzlander light at scales, Matt Williamson picks up the win

Bob Egley endures a wild finish in the Sportsman

Sarver, PA (April 26, 2013) The 2013 Fab Four Racing season started off with a bang, as Jack Sodeman Jr. won a wild Peoples TWP DIRTcar Sprint feature after early leader Brian Ellenberger broke at the flagstand on lap 14 and restart leader Eric “Turkey” Williams jumped the cushion in turns one & two. Dave Hess Jr. appears to be back to 100% after back surgery delayed his 2012 season. Hess scored the win over a hard charging Jared Miley and Ron Davies who raced to a third place finish from the B-Main! Brian Swartzlander and Canadian young gun Matt Williamson traded the lead multiple times under green flag conditions on the track and then one final time AFTER the races, as Swartzlander came up light at the scales after taking the checkers for a 78^th time; giving the win to Williamson. Jim Fosnaught got collected by a lapped car in turn two on the final lap and then Mike Miller got a little bit slideways exiting turn four coming to the white flag on the ensuing restart. Defending Track Champion Corey McPherson had nowhere to go and got into Miller, spinning him out. Bob Egley inherited the lead for a second Green-White-Checkered restart, but had to hold off a roughshod Paul Schreckengost and a rim riding Corey McPherson to score the Opening Night win in Pic-A-Part Sportsman.
