From Williams Grove
MECHANICSBURG, PA — World of Outlaws regular Lucas Wolfe returned to his roots to score an impressive victory in the 25-lap sprint car feature Friday night at Williams Grove Speedway.
Wolfe started third in a strong 24-car field and moved into the runnerup spot on lap five as Daryn Pittman set the early pace.
Wolfe began to apply serious pressure to Pittman on lap eight, then made his move with an inside charge through turns three and four on lap nine.
Pittman refused to concede, however, and regained the lead in backstretch traffic two tours later.
Wolfe was back in front on the next lap and Brian Montieth, who started sixth, followed him past Pittman.
On lap fifteen current Lawrence Chevrolet point leader, Fred Rahmer, entered the picture when he took the runnerup spot from Montieth. Wolfe, Rahmer and Montieth ran under a blanket for a few laps before Wolfe began to get away.
Montieth took second place back following a spirited battle with Rahmer on lap 21.
A caution with three tours remaining wiped out Wolfe’s lead and gave Montieth one more shot, but Wolfe would not be denied and went on to score his 9th career victory at Williams Grove by a .51 margin over Montieth.
Rahmer settled for third with Pittman fourth and Greg Hodnett, who started tenth, completing the top five.
Curt Michael, Alan Krimes, Lance Dewease, Steve Buckwalter and Chad Layton finished in positions six through ten respectively.
Heats for the 33 sprint cars went to Buckwalter, Justin Henderson, Wolfe and Rahmer.
Adam Wilt won the consolation race.
