Brandon Spithaler scores career first Peoples TWP Sprint win

Bud Points leader Mat Williamson continues to dominate Diehl Mods
Michael Norris and Mike Miller win first features of 2013

Sarver, PA (May 31, 2013) Over 500 employees and family members from Peoples TWP convened pre-race for a catered event behind the grandstands and helped fill the stands on a balmy summer night.  83 cars were in competition and the track was bad fast!  Brandon Spithaler, second cousin of former Sprint Car great Ralph Spithaler, torched the Action Track for his first career Peoples TWP Sprint feature win, but Brandon Matus and Jack Sodeman Jr. were coming hard at the end of the race to round out the podium.  Michael Norris rolled to his second career win in the Precise Late Models and Mat Williamson continued his dominant start to the 2013 season by winning his third feature in four Fast Fridays of Fab Four Racing.  2011 Track Champion Mike Miller drove away from the field after taking the lead from Pat Hanley mid-race to score his first win of the season.
