Michael Norris returns to Sheetz Victory Lane for the first time in 2014
Future Hall of Famers George and Swartzlander add to lofty totals
Jim Fosnaught notches third win of the season
Sarver, PA (July 12, 2014) The last time we saw Michael Norris on a Fab Four Friday, he was doing automotive gymnastics in turn three, but he avenged his bad luck with his first win in the season by holding off Budweiser Points Leader and Defending Precise Late Model Track Champion Alex Ferree. On either side of Norris’s win, a pair of future Lernerville Speedway Hall of Famers padded their Action Track resumes as Rod George made his 2014 Lernerville debut in style with his 44th career feature win in the Peoples TWP Sprints and then Brian Swartzlander scored his 84th feature win in the Diehl Mods. Jim Fosnaught capped off the night with his personal best third feature win of the season to extend his Budweiser Points lead over Defending Track Champion Corey McPherson.
