Flick, King, Williamson & McPherson all repeat winners
Over $3,000 donated to the Steve King Foundation Injured Drivers’ Fund
Sarver, PA (August 5, 2016) The theme of the night was repeat winners in Dlubak Powder Coatings Victory Lane as AJ Flick and Russ King won their third features of the season, while Mat Williamson won his seventh and Corey McPherson his fourth. The bookend features, Peoples Natural Gas Sprints and Pic-A-Part Sportsman, were both marred by multiple crashes, but ultimately, nobody was seriously injured.
Scott Priester took the hardest lick of the night after making heavy contact with the turn four wall. Good news came from the Priester Racing Twitter account that a battery of test found no broken bones or serious injuries, but he is very sore. Andrew Palker and Clay Riney were also bitten by the wall in the same turn; Palker continued and rallied to a seventh place finish, but Riney hit hard and got upside down. AJ Flick endured the yellow and red flag sessions to tally his third feature win of the season and chip away at Jack Sodeman Jr.’s points lead.
In the Pic-A-Part Sportsman feature, the race was more like a demolition derby with multiple crashes, all of which could have been avoided with cooler heads and cleaner races. Out front, Corey McPherson led wire-to-wire from the front row to secure his fourth feature win of the season and extend his points lead over Joey Zambotti whom was sent to the pits for rough driving and scored as he was running in ninth.
In between, both Russ King and Mat Williamson passed early leaders Michael Norris and Jimmy Weller III to win their third and seventh features respectively in the Precise Late Models and Diehl Modifieds.
Finally, we’re thrilled to report that Jackie Matus, Bill Beck and their crew raised over $3,000 for the Steve King Foundation Injured Drivers’ Fund.
