Frank finally takes Late Model feature win at Lernerville Speedway



SARVER, Penn. (June 3) - After three wins by Ohio and PA Posse invaders, Jack Sodeman Jr. won the Ti22 Performance DIRTcar Sprint feature over Carl Bowser and Danny Holtgraver. Chub Frank won the Precise Racing Products DIRTcar Late Model feature, while Gregg Satterlee held off a late charge by Davey Johnson in heavy lapped traffic for second. “Double Duty” Dave Murdick won his first Diehl Auto Group DIRTcar Northeast Big Block Modifieds feature, leading from green to checkers with no cautions as an early birthday present for his father/competitor Carl Murdick who turns 74 years young on Monday! Corey McPherson closed the night with his first career feature win at Lernerville Speedway in a caution riddled Millerstown Pic-A-Part DIRTcar Sportsman Feature.

All Time Modifieds Wins Leader Brian Swartzlander led the Precise Racing Products DIRTcar Late Models to the green flag in the Detman #111 alongside West Virginian Corey Conley.  Swartzlander led the first two circuits before giving way to Conley on lap three as they exited turn four.  Conley would not be long for the lead as World of Outlaws star Chub Frank dove under him through turns one and two to take the lead on lap five.  Once at the helm, Chubzilla is virtually unstoppable and he cruised to a relatively easy feature win as the 5th Annual Firecracker 100 presented by GottaRace.com draws near.

The real race was between the next five cars as Gregg Satterlee battled both Corey Conley and then Davey Johnson for second.  “The Truth” took the measure of Conley for several laps before taking second from him driving low through turns three & four.  Then as the laps wound down, grizzled veteran Davey Johnson reeled Satterlee in and nearly passed him on the last lap as Satterlee appeared to be stuck between the lapped cars of Bryan Force and 14-year old newbie Matt Tifft.  Satterlee made a daring but sensational move to split the young drivers and power through the middle of turn two as Johnson tried to rim ride around all the traffic.  Satterlee held on to finish second ahead of Johnson in third and Conley in fourth.  Jared Miley rounded out the Precise Top Five ahead of Budweiser points leader Dave Hess Jr., Brian Swartzlander, Ken Schaltenbrand, Mike Johnson and Doug Eck.  Gregg Satterlee, John Garvin Jr. and Corey Conley won their respective heat races.  

Matt Tifft is a very young, but even more talented driver from Ohio and he’s making his rounds all over the Midwest and East Coast both on pavement and on dirt getting as much seat time as possible.  Tifft unofficially made his Lernerville Speedway debut last Tuesday evening during the Rocket Chassis practice session and plans on returning to the Action Track multiple times this season!  He finished lapped and in 15th place in the 25-lap feature, but ran a strong second during National Guard heat race competition!
