SARVER, Pa. (August 21, 2024) — For the first time in the history of the Castrol® FloRacing Night in America presented by Kubota, the miniseries thundered into Lernerville Speedway on Wednesday, August 21.

Similarly, for the first time in his career Bobby Pierce made his debut at the Pennsylvania oval. A pair of firsts culminated in the Illinois racer charging to the $20,000 victory, which catapulted him back to the top of the series standings.

Pierce overtook Tyler Erb on lap 27 of the 50-lap affair and went on to collect his second series victory of the season by a convincing 5.035-second margin.

“It was a lot of fun, I really think the top (line) possibly was there too, if I had to move around in lapped traffic,” Pierce said in Victory Lane. “Car was awesome down there on the bottom, we made the right tire call. It’s tough going to a new track, cause this place is very unique, I will say that. I’ve got a lot of laps here on the (video game).

“Shoutout to the Bloomquist family and prayers go out to them. I did Scott’s signature move there (crotch chop) in Victory Lane as a tribute to him. We all continue to think about his family during this tough time.”

While Devin Moran, who set a new track record to start the night in Sunoco Race Fuels qualifying, and Garrett Alberson brought the field to the green flag for the night’s 50-lap finale, it was Tyler Erb’s opening lap moves that catapulted him from the fourth-starting spot to the lead.

The Texas native paced the first 26 circuits but wasn’t able to repel a fast-moving Bobby Pierce, who raced from his seventh-starting spot to the lead on lap 27. Once out front he never relinquished the lead.

Pierce’s series’ leading seventh win of his career came ahead of Erb, Daulton Wilson, Garrett Alberson, and Devin Moran.

Pierce finds himself back atop the series standings with a 9-point advantage over Ricky Thornton Jr. with Daulton Wilson 57 markers back in third, Jason Feger 72 points removed from the lead in fourth and Garrett Alberson 75 points out of the top spot in fifth.

The fifth round of the 2024 Castrol FloRacing Night in America presented by Kubota rolls into Tony Stewart’s Eldora Speedway (Rossburg, Ohio) on Wednesday, Sept. 4. The night’s program is headlined by a complete $20,000-to-win / $1,000-to-start Super Late Model program, which was rescheduled from Wednesday, June 5 due to wet weather.

The event serves as a stand-alone lead-in to the 54th annual World 100 weekend which spans September 5 – 7 and culminates with a $54,000-to-win finale on Saturday, September 7.
The pit gate on Wednesday, September 4 opens at 11 a.m. ET with the grandstand gate opening at 2 p.m. The driver’s meeting is at 5:00 p.m. with hot laps at 6 p.m. and racing action to follow.
The tech line in the pits opens at 12 p.m. ET.
