Randy Lines did it again. For the fourth time this season, Lines took the checkers in his 18L UMP Modified at Plymouth Speedway.
Lines, of Marion, Ind., extended his season standing point lead to 31 over Rensselar’s Derek Losh, who ran third to Lines Saturday night. Jamie Lomax was second; Bobby Stremme was fourth and Dylan Woodling was fifth. Frank Marshall, Lomax and Woodling also round out the top five in standings.
Granger, Ind.’s Andrew Cockman nabbed his first win in the 600 Open. Woodling, also a Modified driver, wheeled his way from starting 16th to finish second, while fellow Warsaw native Trey Johnson was third. Chad Hartzell, who leads the series with two wins atop the standings, was fourth and Kayeleb Bolton was fifth. Johnson sits in second, 42 points back in the season standings. Kevin Hapner is third; Blake Lamb is fourth and Woodling rounds out the top five in points.
Plymouth’s Tom Grall took his second win this year in the Thunder Stocks. The point standings mirror the race top 4 Saturday with Sheldon Oberle, Jason Frtiz and Chad McLean trailing Grall in point standings as well. Pete Beiswanger was fifth in the race, but Hobart’s Kevin Kerlin has that spot in points.
The tightest race between point leaders was between Shaun Wiltjer and David Fritz. Just one point separates the two Super Street drivers (Fritz leads by one), with Charlie Poague just five points back from the lead and Bob McLean back 11. Wiltjer recorded his third win Saturday, while Fritz was second. Third place went to Shane Pendleton, with McLean and Poague in fourth and fifth.
The Pro Sprint battle between first and second on the track and in the standings is as close as ever. Lakeville’s Garrett Saunders maneuvered his was from a fourth-place starting spot to take the win, over last week’s winner Zane DeVault. This is Saunders’ third race win out of five total, while DeVault has two. Eric Saunders made his way to third, with Steven Hogue and Clay Sanders in fourth and fifth. G. Saunders is just 14 point back from DeVault, and Michael Summers, Chad Clay and E. Saunders are third through fifth in season standings.
