    Sarver, PA (August 15, 2018) Gale Ruth Jr. earned a firm grip on his lead in both the RUSH Sprint Car Wednesday Night Lightning series and the Bonnell's Rod Shop Weekly Standings by virtue of his third feature victory of the season at The Action Track.

    The veteran pilot drove a patient first five laps and moved forward from his sixth starting spot to the lead after passing Shawn Smith with six laps down and never looked back en route to Terry Bowser Victory Lane. Smith drove an impressive race, coming home with a second place finish while holding off title contender Arnie Kent who rounded out the podium.

    In the American Steel Processing 4 Cylinders, Dillon Speer made it four for four with another dominant performance.  After shaking off a bid for the lead on an early restart from Phillip Bubecht in the early going, Speer kept his momentum and held his line and survived one more late race restart, fending off Steve Walker to collect the victory.

    Meanwhile, in the Gellners Sales and Service UTV's, Brennan Stover paid a visit for the first time in his career and made it count as he bested the field for the win in the six lap main event.

    Weekly racing continues Friday night with another Fab4 Friday Fueled by Turners Premium Iced Tea featuring the Peoples Gas DIRTcar Sprints, Precise Racing Products DIRTcar Late Models, Diehl Automotive Big Block DIRTcar Modifieds and the Millerstown Pic-A-Part DIRTcar/RUSH Late Models.  Pits open at 4 PM, grandstands at 5 PM with racing starting at 7:30 PM sharp! We look forward to seeing you there !
