MARK PETTYJOHN SCORES BACK TO BACK WINS IN SUPER LATES FOR $3625 PAYDAY
Mark Pettyjohn made it back to back wins in the S.R. Pete & Sons Super Late Models. Pettyjohn started on the pole after winning his heat and having the quicker lap time over Potomac and Winchester Speedways champion, Dale Hollidge who won heat one.
With only one lap in the caution flew for debris and under the yellow Ross Robinson came to a stop after being hit by something from the track and momentarily stunning him. Robinson drove the car to the pits and was done for the night.
Pettyjohn remained solidly in control but the battle behind him was intense. Hollidge, Austin Hubbard, Donald Lingo, Jr. Andrew Mullins and Kerry King put on a fierce battle. By halfway Lingo had worked into second with Hollidge hanging on to third while King worked by Mullins for fourth.
Ricky Elliott exploded a right rear tire and smacked the front straight wall with two laps to go bringing out the final yellow. Pettyjohn was on his game on the restart and drove to his second consecutive win. Lingo finished second with Hollidge, King and Whaley rounding out the top five.
Herb Tunis took a nasty series of flips in the heat but was not injured.
