MARK PETTYJOHN PUTS EIGHT BALL IN VICTORY LANE
The quality and competition in the S.R. Pete & Sons Super Late Models has been through the roof this season. Saturday night’s 20-lap feature was no exception. Heats were won by last week’s winner Nick Davis and point leader Ross “The Boss� Robinson.
Herb Tunis took advantage of his outside second row starting spot to out drag race Rob Schirmer and Dylan Evans to the first turn. Evans settled into the second spot with Mark Pettyjohn following into third.
Pettyjohn grabbed the second spot just as the yellow flew for Ed Drury on lap five. Pettyjohn got a great restart and beat Tunis to the first turn on the restart. Donald Lingo, Jr. was on the climb bringing Robinson with him into third and fourth respectively.
By halfway Lingo was up to second but was being challenged by Robinson. Pettyjohn had built a comfortable lead but that was erased with six to go when Bob Geiger rolled to a stop to bring out the final yellow.
Pettyjohn had no problem on the restart and was flawless the rest of the distance to take the win. Robinson won the battle for second with Lingo finishing a strong third. Fourth went to Nick Davis who came from seventh and Amanda Whaley rounded out the top five.
S.R. Pete & Sons Super Late Model Finish: 1. Mark Pettyjohn; 2. Ross Robinson; 3. Donald Lingo, Jr.; 4. Nick Davis; 5. Amanda Whaley; 6. Andrew Mullins; 7. Ricky Elliott; 8. Herb Tunis; 9.
