Michael Norris scores career first Lernerville/Precise Late Model feature win
Corey McPherson crown Champion, Chris Schneider wins in the Seitz #53
Sarver, PA (August 24, 2012) Brian Swartzlander needed only to take a pair of green flags to lock up his record tying seventh Track Championship, but he iced the proverbial cake by scoring his third straight Diehl Mods feature win; the fifth of the season, 77th at Lernerville Speedway and 150th of his career overall. Kevin Schaeffer secured his fourth Ti22 Sprint Championship with a strong second place finish to feature winner Danny Holtgraver. 2012 Track Champion Jared Miley was vacationing in Myrtle Beach while Michael Norris broke through for his first career feature win after passing Alex Ferree in lapped traffic mid-race in the Precise Late Models. The Millerstown Pic-A-Part Sportsman put on another great race with Chris Schneider scoring the feature win in the Seitz #53 over a hungry Joe Kelley. Corey McPherson secured his first career Track Championship by taking the green flag of the feature, but ran in the top five all race before finishing fourth.
