John Garvin Jr. and Eric Williams pick up first wins of 2103
Brian Swartzlander and Corey McPherson dominate as repeat winners
Another amazing pyrotechnic masterpiece on #1 Cochran Fan Appreciation Night!
Sarver, PA (June 14, 2013) John Garvin Jr. entered #1 Cochran Fan Appreciation Night as the Budweiser Points leader in the Precise Late Models but hadn’t been to Sheetz Victory yet in 2013. After taking the lead from Brian Swartzlander on lap two, Garvin was virtually unchallenged on his way to Sheetz Victory Lane. Eric Williams and Carl Bowser put on a thrilling show through lapped traffic in the Peoples TWP Sprint feature that was stopped thrice by red flags for flips by Jack Sodeman Jr., Dennis Wagner and Dan Kuriger; all three walked away! Despite the spirited challenge by Bowser, Williams trotted into Victory Lane for his second career win and first of 2013. Defending Track Champions Brian Swartzlander and Corey McPherson dominated the Diehl Mods and Pic-A-Part Sportsman features respectively; both from the inside pole. In between the features, the skies lit up like the Fourth of July with another thrilling fireworks display from the pyrotechnic maniacs at Legendary Entertainment!
