Hampton Tames Sprints; Norris Bests ULMS Lates; Brachmann Earns BRP Title

Sarver, PA (October 17, 2021) The 2021 season came to and end on Saturday night at Lernerville Speedway after an evening that saw 11 ceremonial belt buckles earned and some new winners crowned in the 13th annual Steel City Stampede LIVE on LernervillleTV. Indiana native Zach Hampton enjoyed his first career Lernerville experience as he led the field from green to checkers en route to the $3,000 payday in the Peoples Natural Gas Sprint Car feature. Michael Norris took a page out of Hampton’s book and accomplished the same feat in the Precise Racing Products ULMS Late Model main event, surviving a good many restarts before the checkers waved over him. In Diehl Automotive BRP Modified Tour action, Sanborn, NY native Chad Brachmann lost the lead early to Jeremiah Shingledecker early and got it back while never looking back, earning his third career buckle and also taking his second career BRP Modified Tour series championship in the process. And in the inaugural Homak Penn Ohio Pro Stocks Dow Carnahan Memorial, veteran pilot Bobby Whitling etched his name in the books as the first winner in race history.

Full race report is forthcoming.
