Clinched Champions Ferree and Williamson victorious
Sodeman wins the race, Spithaler takes the crown
McPherson seals the deal with seventh win
Sarver, PA (August 30, 2013) Both Alex Ferree (Precise Late Models) and Mat Williamson (Diehl Mods) locked up their respective divisions’ Budweiser Track Championships last Friday night, but drove like they had to win the race to win the title. In doing so, both drivers scored their fifth feature wins of the season. Jack Sodeman Jr. picked up his third Peoples TWP Sprint feature win of the season as Brandon Spithaler rode another top five finish to his first Track Championship. Corey McPherson left no doubt in the Pic-A-Part Sportsman title hunt by winning his seventh feature of 2013 to secure his second consecutive Track Championship.
