Dean Pearson scores a huge upset in Diehl Mods Feature!
Davey Johnson beats a trio of other “1’s” in Precise Lates
Brian Ellenberger wins a thriller over Eric Williams in Ti22 Sprints
Corey McPherson continues to roll with third win in Pic-A-Part Sportsman

Sarver, PA (June 15, 2012) While it was the second feature run, the best story of night came in the Diehl Mods where veteran Dean Pearson scored his first career feature win at The Action Track after early leader Kevin Bolland broke on the back stretch. Steve Feder inherited the lead, but got loose in turn two, allowing Pearson to thunder past exiting turn two. Feder fought back, but Pearson scored an emotional win after years of trying! Prior to that, Davey Johnson, in the #1J, ran away with the Precise Late Model feature as a trio of other “1’s” – Chub Frank in the 1*, Mike Pegher Jr. in the #1C and Bud Points Leader Jared Miley in the H1. Brian Ellenberger and Eric Williams traded the lead multiple times in the Ti22 Sprint feature with Ellenberger scoring his second win of the season. Corey McPherson brought the Holiday Races to a close on #1 Cochran Fan Appreciation Night with a dominant performance, leading all 22-laps of the caution-riddle Pic-A-Part Sportsman feature.
