FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Mechanicsburg –
“Superman” Alan Krimes scored an annihilating sprint car victory at Williams
Grove Speedwya on Friday night, taking his first oval win of the year by 8.403
seconds in the 25-lap 410 sprint car main.
In the 25-lap 358 sprint main, Chase Dietz won his second
feature of the year, becoming the first repeat winner in the class this season.
Tim Glatfelter led from the outset of the 410 sprint main from
the second starting spot while Lance Dewease worked to take second from Daryl
Stimeling.
Krimes started fifth in the field and drove into fourth with
four laps down.
Krimes used the outside lane to move to the front and get by
Brent Marks for third with five away before changing lanes to the bottom to run
down leaders Glatfelter and Dewease.
It took several laps for him to track
down the front duo before driving by Dewease on the 11th tour and
then biting fast to pass Glatfelter two laps later.
Once in front, Krimes just continued to stretch his lead,
finishing nearly a full half lap ahead of Dewease to record the fifth win of his
career at the track.
“When the track gets really wide like
this, our car works really well,” Krimes said in victory lane.
Seventh starter Steve Buckwalter moved
steadily to the front during the race, making it a three-car race for second
during the final five laps.
Dewease eventually secured second with
Buckwalter getting by Glatfelter for third.
Glatfelter finished fourth followed by
Lucas Wolfe.
Sixth through 10th went to
Danny Dietrich, a fading Brent Marks, Austin Hogue, Brock Zearfoss and Brian
Montieth.
Heats went to Buckwalter, Marks and
Stimeling.
The race began with a red flag for a
backstretch flip by Scott Wilson that landed him outside turn three while
Freddie Rahmer clouted the inside rail.
Russell Hammaker led the first pair of
laps in the 358 sprint main before Phil Walter took over.
Walter would lead as Chase Dietz worked
his way front, taking over second on just the fourth lap after rocketing into
contention from the fifth row.
Dietz was strong in the Godfrey No. 5 and
overtook Walter on the eighth tour to secure the win and lead the rest of the
distance.
It was his third career oval win and
second of the season.
The 358 event was the first in the four race Nouse Signs &
Graphics Summer Series staged between Williams Grove and Lincoln Speedways.
Matt Campbell took second from Walter on the final lap with
Glenndon Forsythe riding home fourth followed by Doug Hammaker.
Sixth through 10th went to
Adrian Shaffer, Kevin Nouse, Bill Stine, Kody Lehman and Jason Shultz.
Heats went to Walter, Stine and Russell
Hammaker with Brie Hershey taking the consolation.
