Imperial PA’s Mike
Johnson ended a long dry spell and picked up the win in the Hoosier Tire
Mid‐Atlantic DIRTcar Super Late Model feature. The win was his first
since August 6 2006.
Mike Basich and Mike Davis brought the field down for the green but the
yellow came out quickly as Mike Basich and Lynn Geisler tangled in turns
one and two, ending Geisler’s night. On the restart, Jason Rider grabbed
the lead, and led the first four laps before his motor blew, bringing
out the caution. On the restart, heat winner Keith Barbara grabbed the
lead, but unfortunately for him, it was determined that he had jumped
the start, so he was to be docked two spots.
5th starting Mike Johnson was moved into first with Mike Basich in
second and Barbara in third. So on the next restart; it was Johnson,
with Barbara getting by Basich. Meanwhile last week’s one and two
finishers Jared Miley and Steve Baker were moving up thru the field from
12th and 11th spots and had moved into third and fourth.
Johnson was out in front now with Barbara and Miley battling for second,
and Baker starting to reel them in from fourth.
Another yellow came out on lap 16, and bunched the field up one last
time. On the restart Johnson was back out front, and Miley and Baker
overhauled Barbara to move into second and third. And the trio pulled
away from the rest of the field at that point.
At the finish, it was Johnson with a well deserved win followed by Miley,
Baker, Barbara, Ben Miley, Daryl Charlier, Jim Stephans, Mike Davis,
Tony Musolino (from the tail), and John Mollick .
