STRONGSTOWN, PA (July 22, 2016) Michael Lake returned to victory lane for the second time in the Townsend Gas & Oil Super Late Models. Duke Davidson won his career first feature in the AMSOIL Pure Stocks. Mike Laughard won his third in the Lias Tire CARS Crate Late Models with Nate Smith taking victory #7 in the RD Shaffer Well Services Street Stocks. Pat Brehm stole the extra loot in the 20-lap DM Craig Fabrication & Welding Services FWD 4 Cylinders. Along with the kids bike races the show was over by 11:20.

It looked like Kyle Smith, Jr. was going to take another win in the AMSOIL Pure Stocks. Smith led the first four laps of the 15 lap feature event. On a lap five restart Duke Davidson was able to take the top spot from Smith and then held him at bay the final eleven laps. The win was a career first for the Mahaffey driver. Smith was second followed by Amber Mills, Rick Wicker, Brandi Mills, Mike Benton, Shane Nihart, Brian Savino, John Hayes and Chris Wolfe. Heats were won by Smith and Davidson.

Twin Rocks Mike Laughard took advantage of his pole starting spot to lead all 20-laps of the Lias Tire CARS Crate Late Model feature. Laughard had plenty of heat on him with Andrew Satterlee and Jermey Shaffer knocking on his door all 20-laps. Laughard drove to the win over Satterlee, Shaffer, Dave Lee, Mike Ott, Dave Blazavich, Jon Lee, Clint Hersh, John Eckenrod and Jeff Compton. Taking heat wins were Laughard and Ott.

Scott Rhodes led the first three laps of the Townsend Gas & Oil Super Late Model feature. Lap four saw sixth starting Michael Lake race to the front. Lake held them off through four cautions as the Uniontown driver won for the second time this season. Rhodes finished second with Joe Martin, Robbie Scott, Alex Ferree, Dave Blazavich, Andy Fries, Chad McClellan, Rick Singleton (from 15th) and Joe Petyak (from 18th) completing the top ten. Robbie Scott, Rhodes and Martin were the heat race winners.

The DM Craig Fabrication & Welding Services FWD 4 Cylinders ran a 20-lap feature with extra money on the line. Front row starters Pat Brehm and Brady Miller went back and forth the whole race. Jack Theys started in 12th and raced his way to third to catch the leaders before breaking an axle. Brehm held off all advances from Miller to take his second feature win of 2016. Brehm and Miller were trailed by Zack Wissinger, Mike Phillipson, John Costa, Chuck Dizzle, Cody Young, Jack Theys, Dylan Young and Jessica Noel. Phillipson and Miller were qualifying heat winners.
