Results for the 8 division finale on Saturday night

For immediate release

Imperial, PA

Dirt’s Monster Half-Mile would play host to eight different divisions on Saturday night with the Falconi’s 410 Outlaw Winged Sprint Cars highlighting the evening. PPMS would see qualifying, ten heat races, eight feature events, a first time winner, and a rain delay when a light drizzle was just enough to make the racing surface too slick for competition. The rain would come to an end and the racing action would kick into overdrive for the remainder of the night.

Brandon Matus (13M), from Wampum, would pick up the win for the Falconi’s 410 Outlaw Winged Sprint Car Series, while Zack Morrow (27M), from Gibsonia, would bring home the win for the RUSH Sprint Car Series and Chas Wolbert (C3), from Howland, Ohio grabbed one last PPMS win on the season for the RUSH Sportsman Modified Dirt Series. Mike Harris (18), from Bridgeville, picked up the win in the ADMAR Pro Stock division, while Cody Koteles (1K), from Stockdale, brought home another win to end an impressive rookie season in the Keystone Coach Works Hobby Stock division. Bill Tennant (2), from Colliers, West Virginia, ended his season on a high-note with another win for the Crawford Auto Repair Four Cylinders, and Cameron Lambert (223), from Mars, got his first career victory in the All Ways Safe Young Guns division.

16 Outlaw Winged 410 Sprint cars would qualify on Saturday night and Dan Kuriger (08), from New Brighton, would set the fast-time of 15.574. Carl Bowser (11), from Freeport would qualify second with a time of 15.791. Less than a second would separate the top nine drivers. The 410 Sprints would be broken into two heat races and with a light rain falling during the first heat race, the second heat race would return to their pit areas to wait it out. Once the track was ruled to be safe for competition, the second heat race would be completed. In the 20-lap feature, Ken Rossey (66), from Reynoldsville, would start on the pole with Matus (13M) to his outside. When the green flag dropped, Matus (13M) would take off to an early lead, as the 12 of Darin Gallagher, from Butler, would follow him into second place after starting fifth.

The heat race winners were Bowser (11) and Sanscsti (23S).

The RUSH Sprint Car Series had 12 cars in attendance on Saturday night, which were broken into two heat races with the top three from each heat race making it into the redraw to determine the top six starting spots for their 15-lap feature event. Zach Morrow (27M) would not only win his heat race but he would also redraw the pole position for the main event. Rick Regalski (14) would start to Morrow’s outside and in second place.
