SAM HAFERTEPE JR. WINS ROUND #3 OF SPRINT SPEED WEEK AT BIG DIAMOND,
BERZOWSKI WINS ROADRUNNERS
MINERSVILLE, PA - JUNE 30th, 2013
Sam
Hafertepe Jr. scored his first ever PA Sprint Speed Week victory and first ever
Big Diamond Speedway win in the 30 lap main event for the Sprinters during stop
#3 of the PA Sprint Speedweek series.
Starting from the pole position,
Hafertepe bolted into the lead at the drop of the green and immediately opened
up a large lead over second place running Stevie Smith. The first 13 laps of
the feature event went caution free before yellow had to be displayed for Jimmy
Reppert, who came to a stop on the backstretch. The caution was out once again
on lap #14 for a spinning Ryan Wilson. On the restart, Hafertepe again sprinted
out to a large lead, with Smith still holding down second spot and Brent Marks
in third. These three drivers remained in this order when the final caution
flag of the event flew on lap #28 for Brain Montieth, who stopped on the front
stretch with a right rear flat. Montieth refused the two lap courtesy extended
to drivers with flat tires and retired for the evening. On the restart, Smith
made a daring move into turn #2 to try and wrestle the lead from Hafertepe, but
to no avail, and the Sunnyvale, TX driver was able to cruise to the $5,000
victory. Smith held on for second, followed by Marks, Lance Dewease, and Friday
nights winner Greg Hodnett. Sixth thru tenth were Danny Lasoski, Brady Bacon,
Fred Rahmer, Darren Mollenoyux, and Mark Smith.
Heats for the 24 cars on
hand were won by Marks, Bacon, and Chad Layton. Fast time for the night was set
by Dewease at 13.501 seconds.
With the win, Hafertepe was able to take
over the points lead for the series. Hafertepe now has 436 points. Greg
Hodnett(394), Fred Rahmer(390), Brent Marks(384)and Lance Dewease(379) complete
the top five.
Marc Bersowski picked up win #7 of the season in the 20 lap
Savage 61 Roadrunner main event. Berzowski took the lead from Shon Elk on a lap
#13 restart needed after race long leader Kyle Killian tangled with a lapped car
while completing lap #12. Elk was never far behind, and took a shot at the lead
several times over the last seven laps, but was never able to overtake
Bersowski. Elk held on for his third second place in a row, followed by TJ
Fitzpatrick, Chris Holland, And Tim Fitzpatrick Jr.
Heats for the 22
Roadrunners on hand were won by Holland and TJ Fitzpatrick.
