Miley holds off Frank for Late Model win at Lernerville Speedway
SARVER, Pa. (April 20) – On opening night of the 2012 season at Lernerville Speedway Friday, it was former track champion Kevin Schaeffer driving into victory lane in the Ti22 Performance DIRTcar Sprint A-main. Jared Miley held off Chub Frank to win the Precise Racing Products DIRTcar Late Model feature while Chad Brachmann dropped in from New York to steal the Diehl Auto Group DIRTcar Modified event and Corey McPherson earned a victory in the Millerstown Pic-A-Part DIRTcar Sportsman race.
Bump Hedman jumped out to a quick lead from the outside pole of the Precise Racing Products DIRTcar Late Model feature, but Jared Miley was on the move. Miley passed Boom Briggs for second on lap four and Hedman for the lead exiting turn for on lap 10. In the back of his mind, Miley had to know that World of Outlaws star Chub Frank was coming from 10th on the grid, but it was too little, too late and Miley held off a furious last lap charge by Chub to secure his 10th career Lernerville win.
Behind Chub Frank in second was Briggs in third, Hedman in fourth and Tony Musolino in fifth. Sixth through tenth went to Steel City Stampede feature winner John Garvin Jr., Ron Davies, Ken Schaltenbrand, Doug Eck and Mike Johnson. Heat races were checked by Eck, Musolino and Briggs.
