Eighth on the grid is twice as nice for Danny Holtgraver!
Ferree and Swartzlander score wins on late race passes
Paul Schreckengost breaks four year drought in Sportsman/Stocks
Sarver, PA (June 8, 2012) Danny Holtgraver started eighth on the grid in both his heat and the Ti22 Sprint feature, but both times came to the front to score wins; his feature win came on a turn three pass of Kevin Schaeffer coming to the white flag. Alex Ferree and Brian Swartzlander also used late race passes to score their first wins of 2012 over John Garvin Jr. and Dave Murdick in the Precise Late Model and Diehl Mods features respectively. Paul Schreckengost bucked the trend of late race passes for wins as he held off late and furious charges by Chris Schneider and Jim Fosnaught to score his first Pic-A-Part Sportsman/Stock feature win since May of 2008! Tonight also saw the long awaited returns of Dave Hess Jr., Bob Lipinski and Del Rougeux Jr.
