Schornick Passes Stricker on last lap to win Modified Feature!
Schornick started from the 3rd position and proved to be strong from the drop of the green flag. Adam Stricker Started on the outside of the front row and took the lead on the outside and appeared to be the car to beat. He ran the highside line which generally is the fastest way around the 3/8 mile Lawrenceburg Speedway. Schornick made a move on the outside of Stricker but the caution came out before he could make the pass. On the next restart, Stricker got a good jump on Schornick and pulled away from him for a couple laps.

Mike Ackman Wins Purestock Feature in First Race of 2020!
In his first time out in 2020, Mike Ackman led all 15 laps in picking up his first win of the year. Ackman leading all 15 laps wasn’t without excitement, however. Defending track champ, Joel Andrews made his way to second behind Ackman and was waiting for a chance to make a move. On the white flag lap, Ackman went low and Andrews made a run on the outside pulling alongside Ackman in turns 1 and 2. Ackman drifted high pushing Andrews toward the wall. As the leaders exited turn 2 Andrews made contact with the right rear of Ackman causing Ackman to get sideways but without hitting anything. Andrews hit the backstretch wall hard, and Eric House running 4th at the time was collected in the incident which had nothing to do with him. House’s car was destroyed while Andrews was able to continue but he had to restart from the tail. Ackman never stopped so on the restart he restarted as the leader where he led the last lap picking up the feature win. Will Hayes finished second followed by CJ Redd, Joel Andrews, and Ronnie Baker. Heat race winners were Wayne Williams, and Mike Ackman. Andrews leads the points by 45 over Will Hayes. The Impact Sports Purestocks return to the track on August 22nd.
