Jerald Harris Hustles to Hagerstown Win

With a super-fast sticky race track Jerald Harris showed he a had a good handle on the set up he needed as he went up high on the start and streaked to the win.

Three heats started off the night with Scott Lutz, Kyle Ganoe and Michael Alleman taking wins before it was off to the redraw with Erin Statler drawing the pole.

Erin Statler and Jerald Harris were on the front row pacing the field to the green with Harris staying high and taking the lead with Statler right on his tail and Dave Grube in tow. Ken Duke, Zack Newlin and Drew Ritchey were working their way up as Grube got by Statler but Harris stayed straight smooth and fast as traffic was now coming in play.

After a red for a car getting in to the guard rail it was back at it for a run to the checkers. Harris took off and Grube was keeping him insight as Duke, Newlin and Ritchey were battling for third looking with all looking towards second as traffic was real heavy now.

Harris really made his way through traffic and Grube broke away of the chasing group leaving third place race which Ritchey made the best moves in traffic letting others having to settle for fourth and fifth.

With the checkered flag waving Jerald Harris sped under it to his second win of the year.

At the line it was Jerald Harris, Dave Grube, Drew Ritchey, Ken Duke, Zack Newlin, Erin Statler, Jake Frye, Scott Lutz, Jaremi Hanson, Kyle Ganoe, Ryan Lynn, Ron Aurand, Cale Reigle, Kyle Keen, Justin Clark, Brad Mellott, Mke Leraas, Samanatha Lieberman, Reed Thompson, Michael Alleman, Bill Rice, Chris Ware, Stevie Kenawell, Scott Ellerman, Tony Harris, Donny Hendershot, Dylan Proctor, Daren Bolac and Kurt Knepper.
