Fab4 stars Matus, Lux, King, McPherson and Sodeman Buckle Up

Hawkins, Hess, Ritchey, Boozel, Steven and Dambaugh also Stampede Winners

 

Sarver, PA (October 25, 2015) Fall foliage set a beautiful backdrop for the third and final day of the Seventh Annual DIRTcar Round Up Steel City Stampede presented by People’s Natural Gas and the addition of the Enduro cars put the total car count for the weekend over 300 total cars across more than a dozen divisions.  Brandon Matus started the day securing his first career Stampede Plate and Belt Buckle after passing early leader Jack Sodeman Jr. in the Peoples TWP DIRTcar Sprints.  Inaugural Stampede winner Matt Lux returned to GottaRace.com Victory Lane in the Precise Racing Products DIRTcar Late Models in a log, wild race; his second of the season since jumping into the Detman #111 midseason.  Rex King Jr. fended off Garrett Krummert for most of the 25-lap Diehl Automotive DIRTcar Northeast Big Block Modifieds feature to secure his first Stamepde Belt Buckle; Krummert, however, was a DNF after a late race caution. 

 

Jack Sodeman Jr. got redemption in the MVT BOSS Wingless Sprints, but nearly gave the race away with three to go.  Sodeman jumped the cushion in turns one & two with three to go, surrendering the lead to Andy Feil.  Feil, however, spun and did a 360 in turn four coming to the checkered flag which allowed Sodeman to steal the win back at the checkered flag. 

 

Jared Miley led the bulk of the 25-lap Sweeney RUSH Late Model feature, but a late race restart resulted in contact with second running Max Blair which sent Miley over the top of turn one.  Jacob Hawkins stole the win away from Blair on a green-white-checkered restart to score the feature win.  Corey McPherson parked his RUSH Late Model and hopped right into his C33 Sportsman/Stock and ran away with the win for his first Stampede victory and the hardware that comes along with it. 

 

Dave Hess Jr. returned to the Action Track and secured the feature win in the UMP Modified in a great race over fellow Super Late Model star David Scott.  Nick Ritchey won the RUSH Sportsman Modified feature and Larry Kugel won the 2015 Championship for the series.  Eric Boozel won the 4-Cylinder feature.  Dustin Steven won the Enduro 100 and Jon Dambaugh brought the event and 2015 season to a close by winning the Demolition Derby.

Why was Jared DQ'ed from the Crate race??

[rg8711]

Miley was leading, pushed over turn 1 hill by 2nd place Max Blair (111). Caution came out and Miley went around the track and hit Blair before coming into the pits.

 

Miley led the whole race, personally Blair deserved it and probably should have been DQ'd or pushed back a few positions for it. Glad Jacob Hawkins stole the win from him.

[TurnLeft22]

Wow. That's about typical from Blair.

[Walt Wimer]

The DQ was a RUSH call, not Lernerville officials

 

Walt

[TurnLeft22]

I figured that as well since Max is their golden boy.

[Squirrely Hilly]

He should have been DQ'd for hitting another driver under caution.  Black and white.  You mean Matt Miley didn't run up to the press box and to get it reversed like the 2012 Pittsburgher?   Wonder if there will be RUSH at PPMS next year since they DQ'd the Miley's special little boy.     Miley should have been DQ'd from the Super race for charging Lux under caution also, but Lernerville is apparently ok with these kind of attacks.  Apparently Miley can drive rough (Stateline/DuPont), but he can't take it when it happens to him.   Spoiled brat.

 

On the up side, I thought the racing was great for a day race.   Glad the weather cooperated on Sunday.

[TurnLeft22]

I never said they were wrong about DQ'ing Miley but you need to be fair with your calls acrossed the board and they weren't with not docking Blair spots or DQ'ing him for rough driving.

[Squirrely Hilly]

Does RUSH ever penalize rough driving? Some series don't.   I have seen some of the same kind of things happen on WoO/Lucas level and they let the driver keep their position.  Not saying it is right, just wondering if they penalize that kind of stuff normally.
