Twenty-three Bonnell Collision Center FASTRAK Late Models started their feature with Wendell Pinckney and Scott Gurdak leading the way and last week’s winner Max Blair starting third.
Four cars piled up at the end of the back straight when defending champion Chad Wright and Mike Mitchell got together, spun. The others spun to avoid crashing. After restarting Wendell Pinckney and Bobby Rohrer led the first lap but caution slowed the field again when Chad Schauers spun at the flag stand and Chad Wright spun to avoid him.
Pinckney and Rohrer led Blair with Rohrer getting alongside Pinckney but unable to complete the pass until until lap nine. One lap later Blair also got by Pinckney and the battle was on for the lead. Rohrer opened up a two car length margin by lap twelve. When yellow flew at lap thirteen for Khole Wanzer spun in turn four Blair was right behind the leader. Schauers again spun, this time out of turn two, collecting Mark Tatlovic and Wanzer before another lap could be completed.
With five laps remaining Blair got the inside line from Rohrer and got by in turn two. With only one lap remaining Pinckney spun out in turn four setting up a one lap dash for the win. Blair was up to the challenge, going on to his second win of the year over Rohrer, Matt Latta, Darrell Bossard, and Kyle Zimmerman.
