Trip To Wisconsin's Shawano Speedway Brings Satterlee First-Ever World of Outlaws Late Model Series Victory
Rising Young Pennsylvania Driver Dominates After Mechanical Trouble Sidelines Clanton
by Kevin Kovac
SHAWANO, WI (July 30) – Gregg Satterlee's turn to bask in the World of Outlaws Late Model Series spotlight finally arrived Tuesday night at Shawano Speedway.
Racing for the first time at a track located over 750 miles from his home in Rochester Mills, Pa., Satterlee inherited the lead when Shane Clanton of Zebulon, Ga., slowed with mechanical trouble on lap 21 and dominated the remainder of the 50-lap distance to record his coveted first-ever A-Main triumph on the national tour.
Satterlee, who will celebrate his 29th birthday on Aug. 3, cracked Victory Lane on the WoO LMS in his 85th career event and 57th A-Main start. His best previous finish was fourth place on four occasions, most recently on June 29 in the Firecracker 100 by GottaRace.com at Lernerville Speedway in Sarver, Pa.
Flashing the talent that has made him a driver to reckon with in the Mid-Atlantic region, Satterlee easily handled a final restart on lap 45 to lead a trio of former WoO LMS champions – Tim McCreadie of Watertown, N.Y., Josh Richards of Shinnston, W.Va., and Rick Eckert of York, Pa. – under the checkered flag.
McCreadie, 39, was unable to offer Satterlee a challenge over the final five circuits and settled for second place, 2.219 seconds behind the victor. Richards extended his points lead with a third-place finish after starting 14th and Eckert slipped to fourth with a tight-handling race car after taking the green flag from the pole position.
A.J. Diemel of Elk Mound, Wis., completed the top five, scoring a career-best WoO LMS finish after starting seventh. He reached fifth just before the halfway point and stayed there to the finish.
