Fosnaught Gets First Lernerville Win Of 2015

Sarver, PA (July 31, 2015) A Chamber of Commerce Friday Night welcomed a big crowd and great racing for Fab4 Fueled by Turner’s Premium Iced Teas. Mat Williamson inherited the lead on lap 20 when runaway leader Garrett Krummert fell to gremlins in turn one. Once out front, Williamson cruised to his fourth win of the season in the Diehl Mods. Carl Bowser drew pole for the Peoples TWP Sprint feature, but had to dissect heavy lapped traffic mid-race and then fend off a slide job or two from Jack Sodeman Jr. to score his fourth win of the season. Williamson and Bowser are now tied with Corey McPherson atop the Fab4 Fueled by Turner’s Leaderboard with four wins apiece.

Alex Ferree quickly made his way to the front of the Precise Late Model feature and drove away with his third feature win of the season and picked up an extra $1,000 for winning the Eracers Bonus Bucks. And for the second week in a row, a new driver graced Victory Lane in the Pic-A-Part Sportsman as Jim Fosnaught scored his first win of the season after battling with Corey McPherson and Joe Kelley for most of the caution filled race. McPherson jumped the cushion in turn four coming to the checkered flag, tried to stay in the gas, but couldn’t get straightened out and ended up finishing 16th.
