PORT ROYAL, Pa. — Mike Wagner would battle with Garrett Bard and Justin Whittall throughout the main event, but parked in Kish Bank victory lane following Saturday’s 410 winged sprint car feature at Port Royal Speedway.
Derek Hauck and Austin Bishop would lead the field to the green flag of the 25-lap event with Bishop taking the early lead.
Garrett Bard would find himself in the third position over the opening circuits of the race but would be racing close behind Hauck for the second position around the top side of the race track.
With 6 laps completed, Bard would charge around the 12J of Hauck for the runner up spot coming around the top side of turn number four.
Just 3 laps later, Mike Wagner would get by Hauck to get himself into the final podium position on the inside of turn 1.
Following a caution for a slowing Zach Newlin, Bard would be tight to the tail of the leader Austin Bishop, who had previously built up over a 2 second lead.
The field restarted with Bishop leading the way, but Bard would slide in front him coming off of turn 4 with 14 laps remaining to take the lead.
Bard and Bishop would trade passes for the top position over the next 3 laps which allowed Mike Wagner and Justin Whittall to close the gap and get into the mix for the battle for the lead.
Bard would take over the lead with 11 laps remaining, but it would be anything but comfortable as Mike Wagner would quickly get by Bishop for the 2nd position and would make a pass at Bard with 9 remaining.
With 8 laps to go, a caution would kill the momentum for the battle for the lead as Daison Pursley and Mike Walter would get together while battling inside the top 15.
With the field reset, Wagner was able to put the pressure to Bard for the lead through the corners and get by him on the inside of turn 4 and run away with the win over the next 7 laps.
Justin Whittall would get by Bard for second and Bard rounded out the podium.
