LEPPO
& CARBER DODGE THE WEATHER FOR BIG D WIN
Under thick overcast skies and periodic trickles of rain,
72 cars presented themselves for competition, for the second Saturday night of
racing at Big Diamond Speedway. After
qualifying and a short intermission period to groom the track, the Central PA
Legend cars entered the speedway for their main event.
Setting the early pace was INEX division Master Scott
Gobrecht who came into the night 3rd in points in the Baker Door
Company ~ GCS Central Pennsylvania Legends 2012 Point Standings. A caution came out on lap 7 tightening the
field and allowing Harlon Leppo to capture the lead and go on for the
victory.

The intermittent light showers delayed the start of the
305 20 lap feature as the TSRS 305 Sprint Car officials awaited the thumbs up
sign from their drivers and from the drop of the green Joe Lord Jr. put his 9
car out into the front of the pack but following a lap 10 caution current points
leader Brian Carber challenged defending points champion Chriss Allen and Lord
for the lead. Carber took to the high
side, Lord stayed on the bottom and it was Carber taking the lead for good by
lap 12.
