Rine Stops Miley In Selinsgrove ULMS Battle

SELINSGROVE, Pa. – Jeff Rine drove around Jared Miley Sunday night at Selinsgrove Speedway to pick up the 30-lap ULMS super late model feature, worth $4,000.

Miley took the early lead from the outside of the front row in the 30-lap ULMS late model main and was leading over Jim Bernheisel with a 2.7 second advantage when the pace was slowed with seven laps in the book.

Running third for the restart, Max Blair took second on the restart and closed in on Miley, while 10th starter Jeff Rine motored up to third.

Working the outside lane using maximum horsepower, Rine overtook Blair for second on lap 14 and then went to work on Miley to be scored the leader of lap 15.

The pace was then again slowed with 14 laps to go, but Rine proved in control for the balance of the race.

Blair got by Miley for second with 10 laps to go, but failed to get to Rine before the finish, although he kept him honest the entire distance.

Rine’s margin of victory was .602 seconds, with Miley finishing third ahead of 16th starter Gregg Satterlee and Jim Bernheisel.

Sixth through 10th went to Jim Yoder, Shaun Jones, Mike Lupfer, Brett Schadel and Nathan Long.

Heats went to Blair, Kyle Knapp and Hayes Matter, while fast time over the 26-car field was set by Blair with a lap of 18.870 seconds.

Scott Dunham Jr. led all but the final lap of the 12-lap roadrunner main.

Early in the race Will Brunson pressured Dunham for the lead, but late in the event Jake Jones proved to be the challenger.

Jones got by Brunson and into second with two laps to go, but then actually had to take the lead three times before he could be scored the official pacesetter, as it took three different attempts to get the final lap recorded.

The victory was Jones’ fourth of the year at the track.

Brunson ended up second followed by Nathan Romig, Tom Brunson and Jimmy Kessler.

The finish:

1. 2J Jeff Rine, 2. 111 Max Blair, 3. 10 Jared Miley, 4. 22 Gregg Satterlee, 5. 31 Jim Bernheisel, 6. 27 Jim Yoder, 7. 32 Shaun Jones, 8. 06 Mike Lupfer, 9. 22 Brett Schadel, 10. 63 Nathan Long, 11. 171 Bryan Bernheisel, 12. 61 Ken Trevitz, 13. 6 Donnie Schick, 14. 2 Andrew Yoder, 15. 9 Hayes Mattern, 16. 11 Kirk Baker, 17. 1 Gene Knaub, 18. 4S David Scott, 19. 14Z Dave Brouse Jr., 20. X Wyatt Scott, 21. 33K Kyle Knapp, 22. 10 Dave Stamm.
