Russ King passed Chub Frank on the white flag lap of the Late Model feature and went on for his third Lernerville win this season.   Following those two were Darrell Lanigan, Alex Ferree, and Mike Pegher Jr.  Garrett Krummert won his first (I think) Big Block Modified feature at Lernerville putting a good slide job on Mat Williamson with only a few laps remaining, followed by Brian Swartzlander, Dave Murdick, and Cooter King.  Not to be outdone, Carl Bowser and A.J. Flick battled down to the wire, with Bowser taking the checkered with young Mr. Flick having to settle for second once again.  Track was far from tacky, but there were two distinct grooves and the racing was very good all night long.   There were 20 Late Models, 21 Sprint cars, 21 Big Block Modifieds, and 20 Sportsmen.

What a show. Not a fan, but I gotta hand it to Russ King. Helluva drive. I think he started tenth. Great slide job from Garrett Krummert. The deal between Williamson and King, Jr. looked like two guys going for the same spot. Rex was not happy. And, A.J. will get his share of wins. Nothing against Bowser, but A.J. is already a more well rounded driver.

Rex had no reason to not be happy, he drove straight down on Williamson on the front stretch....his own fault for the damage.

Great night of racing!
King what a great win!
Krummert nice 1st win back in the mod.
Nice win by Carl getting by both Lynch and AJ.
Dan Kuriger had a big win last week AJ will get his soon.

BUT in the Sportsman

How does Wayne Carbo get his spot back when he spins and brings out the yellow?
He caused the whole mess!

Also what is Mike Miller doing? Every week he's all over the place.
This week he takes out Terry Young big time!! tap on left hook on the right.OUCH
If I was Terry I would visit him with a 2x4.

Hows Corey Mac with 6 to go - go from last to victory lane? WoW

Good fast night of racing.

Williamson and King hit on the front stretch before the contact that sent King out of the race

Yeah, there was some full contact Big Block racing going on. Very entertaining race.

No, I mean the front stretch where King decided he wanted to try to put Williamson in the infield going into turn 1....after that he got what he got.  Don't start the dirty driving them get upset when karma gets you.

It was a great night of racing. The track was in great shape and was fast on the top and bottom.

Would have been even better had that damn tractor would break down...what is wrong with letting the track progress on its own.  I feel like he is trying to dictate track conditions far to much and actually made it rougher in 3-4.

I want to know why cars that jump the start almost on a weekly basis don't get penalized? I guess some people can do whatever they want.

They needed to widen the groove out, so what if there are a few bumps. The drivers will figure out how to get them through there

One of the best nights of racing I remember. Unreal. AJ trying to get Carl, Garrett with the slider, Russ King with the drive of his life.... And still don't know how you go from 16th or so to 1st in 3 laps and win by a straightaway but whatever I guess.

2022 - 66 Races @ 16 Tracks

2021 - 100 Races @ 32 Tracks
2020 - 56 Races @ 15 Tracks

I'd say you go from 16th or so to 1st in 3 laps and win by a straightaway cause you have a good car and your a good driver...makes sense to me!!

I agree the Sportsman class is always good!

Cory really showed us how to get up on top of the track and set everyone up, Great job!

Mike Miller showed us how to take someone out. DH
