Pegher wins for sponsor at Lernerville Speedway

SARVER, PA (July 26)  On a Chamber of Commerce Friday Night, four drivers made triumphant returns to Sheetz Victory Lane and were greeted by our friends from the Twin State Auto Racing Club.  Mike Pegher Jr. scored his second Precise Late Model feature win of the season after hosting the folks from Bolea Oil to a pre-race hospitality event.  Budweiser Points leader Rex King Jr. extended his lead by netting his third Diehl Mods feature win of the season.  Lee Jacobs used a wicked slidejob to steal the Peoples TWP Sprint win away from Bud Points leader Carl Bowser.  Two-Time Defending Track Champion Corey McPherson ran down 19-lap leader Rob Shook and passed him on the final lap to record his fourth win of 2014.

Mike Pegher Jr. rolled the #1 Cochran Late Model to the green flag from the front row alongside polesitter Brand Burgoon and rocketed around the top cushion in turns one & two to the early lead.  Only a handful of cautions kept the race close as Pegher time and again stretched his lead to half and full straightaways in open air.  As mentioned above, car owner Lynn Geisler’s longtime sponsor Bolea Oil was on hand, so a large throng of employees and their families joined Geisler and Pegher in Sheetz Victory Lane.  Pegher’s second win of the season is the 17th of his career; 11 Pure Stock wins, three Crate Late wins and now three Super Late Model wins.

John Garvin Jr. and Alex Ferree came from the fifth row to finish second and third respectively.  Garrett Krummert came from even further back (16th) to finish fourth ahead of Ken Schaltenbrand.  Michael Norris, Russ King, Brian Swartzlander, Gary Lyle and Todd Bachman rounded out the Precise Top Ten, while Mike Pegher Jr. and Russ King won their respective heat races.
