Jerald Harris Hustle to Hub City Win

Jerald Harris had a smooth strong night after finishing second in his heat race and pacing the field to green in the feature where he stayed all the way to the checkered flag.

Heats kicked off the night with John Scarborough, Daren Bolac and Dale Schweikert taking wins.

On to the feature where Jerald Harris and Jay Fry paced the field to green with Harris out first but Fry got too high in the loose stuff spinning to a stop.

On the second start Harris was out again with Dylan Shatzer now in second followed by Caleb Harris, John Scarborough and Ben Miklos.

After a caution for a spin it was back at it again with Harris and Shatzer now joined by Scarborough and Caleb Harris fourth.

Harris was stretching it out with Shatzer and Scarborough battling for second as behind them it was sprinters swapping every spot every lap.

A stalled car slowed the field bunching it up as the end was near but Harris took off the second place was up for grabs and behind them it was hard to keep up with changes.

Harris lead the field to the white flag in traffic and as Shatzer made his way to turn one it all went wrong as he and a lap car touched sending both to a stop.

On the restart Harris took off with Scarborough on his tail but it would be a charge that came up a car length short at the stripe as Harris took the win.

At the line it was Jerald Harris, John Scarborough, Jeff Paulson, Dale Schweikert, Daren Bolac, Christian Rumsey, Colton Hendershot, Donny Hendershot, Chris Humblet, Ben Miklos, Mikey Smith, Mark Reynolds, Matthew Kline, Jay Fry, Dylan Shatzer, Caleb Harris, Chris Ware, Jimmy Humblet, Braeden Varner, Mia Koponen, Ryan Lynn, Reed Thompson, Bill Sheehan, AJ Barton and Hunter McFadden.

Next week it’s back to Winchester Speedway in Virginia on Saturday night April 27th for another Virginia Sprint Series Laurel Highlands Sprint Series race night.
