Dave Hess Jr. returns to the Action Track to steal Firecracker 100 Provisional
Double Duty Dave Murdick repeats in Diehl Mods
Brandon Matus parks it and climbs the fence
Corey McPherson dominant in third win
Sarver, PA (June 20, 2014) Dave Hess Jr. made a difficult, but family related decision last summer to cut back on his racing schedule. He returned in full force tonight, however, to secure a track provisional for next weekend’s 8th Annual Firecracker 100 presented by GottaRace.com. Prior to that, Dave Murdick won the Diehl Mods feature feature for the second week in a row to secure a Steel City Stampede provisional in October’s season ending event. Fan favorite Brandon Matus picked up his first feature win of the season in the Peoples TWP Sprints and secured a starting spot in next month’s Don Martin Memorial Silver Cup Twin 30s presented by GottaRace.com. He celebrated, of course, by climbing the fence after parking it in Sheetz Victory Lane. Corey McPherson capped the night off with a dominant feature win in the otherwise competitive Pic-A-Part Sportsman division to score his third checkered flag of the season and cement his starting position in the Sportsman/Stock Spectacular portion of Autumn-Motive Fest 2014 in September. Up next, the weekend you’ve all been waiting for . . . the 8th Annual Firecracker 100 presented by GottaRace.com! $69 Advance 3-Day reserved ticket packages are on sale through Wednesday Night at 11:59PM and include Fan Appreciation Pit Pass upgrades for Thursday & Friday Night’s programs.
