ROBBIE STILLWAGGON CHARGES FROM
SIXTEENTH TO SCORE $4,000 A-VERDI 360 SPRINT CHAMPIONSHIP FRIDAY NIGHT AT BLACK
ROCK SPEEDWAY
Dundee, NY . . . . . Burlington, NJ’s Robbie
Stillwaggon was the star of the show Friday night at the Black Rock Speedway
taking the win in the twenty-five lap $4,000 to win A-VERDI 360 Sprint
Championship. For Stillwaggon, it was his fourth win on the Rislone URC Sprint
Series and seventh career win with the United Racing Company. A field of
thirty-two sprint cars turned out for the show. Stillwaggon started sixteenth
and took the lead with just two laps remaining in the event co-sanctioned with
URC and the Patriot Sprint Tour.
Heat race events were won by JJ Grasso, Scott Krautter, Bryan
Howland and Justin Barger. The Dash winner was Brad Knab and the “B” Main
victory went to Bruce Dewick.
Several restarts were required before the first lap was
completed in the A-Verdi URC feature event, but once the race was started, there
was plenty of passing. Steve Collins set the early pace with Patriot Sprint
Tour point leader Scott Krautter in the chase and racing in second. Justin
Barger had a solid hold on third followed by Jared Zimbardi.
By lap ten, Stillwaggon was in fifth and on a mission to the
front of the pack.
Steve Collins continued to set the pace followed by Krautter
and Justin Barger with Robbie Stillwaggon now in fourth as Zimbardi followed in
fifth. The top five was unchanged at the halfway point of the race. Collins
and Krautter tightened their battle for the lead as lapped traffic became a
factor. Stillwaggon, driving the Fred’s Trailer Parts entry, was inching ever
so close to the leaders.
On lap twenty, Collins, Krautter and Stillwaggon were in a
battle for the lead. Stillwaggon moved into second on lap twenty-two and
continued to reel in the leader. With two laps remaining, Stillwaggon
challenged Collins for the lead and going down the backstretch, nosed into the
lead. Just before entering turn three, the leaders tangled with Collins
spinning as Stillwaggon maintained control and the lead as the yellow was
displayed sprinter of Steve Collins.
On the restart, Stillwaggon set the pace with Krautter in
second and Bryan Howland third. Both Krautter and Howland offered a challenge
for the lead but Stillwaggon was not to be denied this victory.
With the checker flag waiving, Stillwaggon earned the win
followed by Scott Kreutter, Bryan Howland, JJ Grasso and Jared
Zimbardi.
