Stricker Wins second in a row!
3rd generation driver, Adam Stricker picked up his second win in a row at Lawrenceburg and the team’s third win in a row after Nick Hoffman won in the same car to start this 3 race win streak. Stricker would take the green flag from the 4th position and would quickly work his way to challenge the early race leader and current point leader Brad Weick. Add Matt Hamilton to the mix and it was a 3 car battle for the top spot. The leaders traded slide jobs back and forth only to be delayed by a few caution flags. Stricker took over the top spot on lap 8 and started to flex his muscle as the car to beat. Hamilton needed a couple laps to get around Weick for second and may have been catching race leader Adam Stricker at the end but ran out of laps and settled for second. The rest of the top 5 was Brad Weick, David Spille, and Scotty Kincaid. Heat race winners were Stricker, Weick, and Hamilton. The Budweiser UMP Modifieds return to Lawrenceburg on Saturday, June 30th.
Matt Morris Wins Hornet Feature!
Louisville, Kentucky native, Matthew Morris doesn’t race but a few times a year. He races even fewer times at Lawrenceburg. But when he races at Lawrenceburg, he is really good. Saturday night he showed just that as he won for the 3 time in his career in only a handful of starts. He led from the drop of the green flag and led the first 11 laps. Defending track champ, Cordell Moore had moved his way to second and on the white flag lap, got into Morris, forcing Morris to slide high and Moore beat him back to the checkered flag. However, Moore was penalized for not restarting single file on the last restart. That penalty was accessed after the checkered flag moving him back to 3rd place. This vaulted Morris into victory lane moved Rob Sharpe to a second-place finish followed by Moore, Madison Kearns and Bradley Eberhart. Heat race winners were Moore, Miller, and McCoy. Gary Hume won the B Main. The Bessler’s U Pull N Save Hornets return to the track on Saturday June 30th.
