Rine Holds Off Fierce Battles From Frye & Yoder
Selinsgrove PR SELINSGROVE, PA (August 2) - Jeff Rine of Danville held off a hard-charging Coleby Frye of Dover in a last-lap shoot-out for his fourth win of the season and 89th career at the track in the 25-lap super late model feature. Frye was the night’s fast qualifier over a field of 29 entries with a lap time of 19.452.
Time trials and a redraw placed Dylan Yoder and Jeff Rine on the front row for the start of the late model feature. At the drop of the green flag, Rine horsepowered his way into the lead entering turn one. By lap eight, Rine and Yoder started to encounter slower traffic. On a lap nine restart, several lapped cars separated Rine and Yoder. By the halfway point, however, Yoder closed the gap as fifth-place starter Coleby Frye set his sights on the leaders.
The last 10 laps of the race produced a suspenseful chase through traffic with Yoder reeling in Rine at a fast clip. At one point, Yoder was racing right on Rine’s rear bumper and appeared poised to make a challenge for the lead. With one lap to go, Yoder’s car developed a flat tire and a caution flag regrouped the field for a one-lap shootout with Frye inheriting the runner-up position.
On the final lap, Frye made two last-ditch efforts at each end of the race track to power underneath Rine but it was Rine who maintained an edge and posted a .98 of a second victory. Frye settled for second, followed by third-place starter Steve Campbell, seventh-place starter Jerry Bard, and 22nd-place starter Jim Yoder.
