Story By: SHAWN BROUSE / WILLIAMS GROVE SPEEDWAY – MECHANICSBURG, PA – Lucas Wolfe, Danny Dietrich, Dylan Norris and Kyle Spence split the 410 and 358 sprint car features at Williams Grove Speedway on Friday Night.
Both Wolfe and Norris were victorious in the make-up 410 and 358 mains postponed by rain on August 4.
Dietrich and Spence sped to the wins in the regularly scheduled events slated for Friday night.
The make-up 410 feature restarted with one lap complete and Cameron Smith at the helm and Wolfe restarting third.
Wolfe came to second on the second lap and chased Smith who held a two second lead over the field by lap 10.
A restart with 10 laps to go in the 25 lap main closed the gap for Wolfe and when action resumed he swooped his No. 5W low in the first corner to net control and run to the win by .684 seconds.
Freddie Rahmer rode home third followed by TJ Stutts, Devon Borden and Troy Wagaman Jr.
Norris led every circuit of the make-up 358 sprint main after starting second in the field.
It was his second career limited sprint car win at the track where he also competes in 410 action.
Kody Hartlaub, Chad Criswell, Steve Owings and Logan Rumsey chased Norris to the finish line.
The regularly scheduled Yellow Breeches 500 feature for the 410 sprints saw no less than three different leaders with Dietrich becoming the final pacesetter with two laps to go.
Cameron Smith again led the lion’s share of the race before succumbing to pressure late in the race, this time in the form of Devon Borden.
Borden’s run at the front would be brief however as fifth starting Dietrich was hot on his tail, diving under him for the lead the first time with four laps to go before making the move stick two laps later with a low move in the first turn.
The feature was marred by a seven-car fracas with 15 laps to go when Dietrich got together with Freddie Rahmer as the pair was racing for position.
The result saw the cars of Austin Bishop, Wolfe, Rahmer, Tyler Reeser, Kyle Moody, Ryan Newton and JJ Loss all suffering damage.
Borden finished 1.393 seconds behind at the finish with Troy Wagaman Jr., Smith and Billy Dietrich rounding out the top five.
It was Dietrich’s first win of the season at Williams Grove.
Heats went to Reeser and Smith.
Doug Hammaker would lead only the first lap of the regular 358 sprint main before Kyle Spence took over for his first career win at the oval.
Hammaker contested the spot more than once during the 20-lap feature as did Chris Frank during the mid-stages but Spence prevailed by .551 seconds for the checkers.
Hammaker was second followed by Dylan Norris, Frank and Kody Hartlaub.
Heats went to Chad Criswell, Spence and Preston Lattomus.
PA Dyno Hard Chargers on the night were Scott Fisher and Derek Lock in 358 sprints and TJ Stutts and Nash Ely in 410 sprints.
