Defending Champ Miley dominates Late Model action at Lernerville Speedway

Lernerville Speedway
SARVER, PA (May 17, 2013) Indelibly etched in the Lernervile Speedway record books as their respective divisions’ All Time wins leaders, future Hall of Famers Brian Swartzlander and Ed Lynch Jr. returned to familiar territory Friday Night by scoring their first feature wins of 2013.  Jared Miley also scored his first feature win of 2013 in defense of his 2012 Precise Late Model Track Championship and fellow Defending Track Champion Corey McPherson won his second Pic-A-Part Sportsman feature of the season.    90 cars were on hand for round three of Fab Four Racing with near perfect weather conditions.

The Precise Racing Products DIRTcar Late Model feature was loaded again with 26 cars laden with regional stars including World of Outlaws star Chub Frank.  Frank and the rest of the World of Outlaws Late Models will take center stage in just six short weeks for the 7th Annual Firecracker 100 presented by GottaRace.com, but Friday night’s feature was all about Defending Track Champion Jared Miley and Budweiser Points leader Dave Hess Jr.  Miley drew the pole for the 25-lap A-Main, after having to win the B-Main just to start the feature two weeks ago.  Hess started right behind him in third and chased him the whole way to the finish with no cautions between the green and checkered flags.  On an open track and navigating lapped traffic, Miley never wavered on the way to his first feature win of his title defense season and rolled into Sheetz Victory Lane for the 17th time; one ahead of the aforementioned Chub Frank and tying him with “Slow Ride” David Scott for 10th all time.

With his second place finish, Hess maintains a double digit lead in the Bud Points over Miley.  Chub Frank finished third ahead of John Garvin Jr. who came from 11th on the grid and Russell King who came from 10th.  Alex Ferree, Michael Norris, Lynn Geisler, Mike Pegher Jr. and Ken Schaltenbrand rounded out the Precise Top Ten.  Geisler and Pegher usually split duties in the #1 Cochran Late Model, but drover together in nearly matching cars for the very first time.  Heat races were checkered by Lynn Geisler, John Mollick and Russell King.  King’s heat race win matched that of his father and brother earlier in the evening; the first time a father and both sons all won their respective heat races in the same night in the 40+ year history of Lernerville Speedway!  Brian Swartzlander won the Precise Late Model B-Main in the Detman #111.
