SELINSGROVE, Pa. – Dan Stone scored a thrilling victory with a last-lap, final-corner pass by defending track champion Bryan Bernheisel in Saturday night’s 30-lap KRS Graphics Super Late Model Challenge Series main event at Selinsgrove Speedway.
Stone earned $3,000 for his first win of the season and seventh career at the track. He became the division’s sixth different winner in as many races on Jeff’s Auto Body Night.
Jason Covert was the night’s fast qualifier over the 26-car super late model field with a lap time of 19.233 seconds.
Front row starter Bryan Bernheisel won the drag race down the fron stretch to take the late model lead over polesitter Rick Eckert, Jason Covert, Gene Knaub, Tyler Horst, and Brett Schadel.
The top three ran the first third of the race nose to tail but on lap 12 Eckert used a lapped car to pick off Bernheisel and take the lead as the pair came off turn four. Â Two laps later, it was Covert taking over second.
Chris Casner slowed off turn four to bring out the first caution on lap 16. Â Using the Delaware double file restart, Eckert held the restart lead over Covert.
Eckert continued to open the lead and looked like a sure winner when he hit the first turn wall in turn one after the front spoiler reportedly bent under the front end of his race car and ended his night on lap 24. When the lead was handed over to Covert, his car developed a flat tire while pacing under caution due to debris, according to reports from the pit area. As Covert withdrew from the race, Bernheisel re-assumed the point.
With Bernheisel running the high groove, second place Dan Stone tested him on the low side and raced side by side. Stone then went to the top looking for a lane and just nosed ahead at the line for the win. Coleby Frye, Knaub and Hayes Mattern rounded out the top five.
Jared Fullkroad won his first race in the 20-lap Mason Dixon Limited Late Model Series event following an intense three-car battle for the lead and win. Fulkroad, who started his racing career in go karts on the speedway’s one-fifth mile track, became another driver to  win races on both the small and big tracks.
Shaun Lawton drove to his first win of the season and his first in the annual A&A Auto Stores Pro Stock 20 that was worth $1,000.
Tom Brunson held off late-race challenges from Jake Jones for his first win in the 12-lap roadrunner race.
