FRANKLIN, Pa. — It was a night to remember at Tri-City Raceway Park as Steven Snyder Jr. pulled off a dramatic last-lap pass to score his first 410 sprint car win, and in doing so, etched his name in the history books as the 100th different sprint car winner at the track.
Snyder came out swinging, leading the opening eight laps of the Western PA Sprint Speedweek Finale, but it looked like Jeremy Weaver was going to steal the show. Weaver took over up front and seemed to have the race locked down—until lapped traffic came into play.
Coming off Turn 4 on the final lap, Snyder capitalized on a slight slowdown from Weaver and made his move, sliding past to take the win in thrilling fashion. It was heartbreak for Weaver, who had driven a near-perfect race until that last-second twist.
The only caution of the night came early, on Lap 2, when Brandon Spithaler slowed, but after that, it was all green to the finish.
Brock Hallett rounded out the podium in third, followed by Matt Farnham in fourth and A.J. Flick in fifth.
Blaze Myers etched his name into the record books, becoming the all-time winningest driver in The Complete Car Care Center RUSH Sprint Car Series history with his seventh career victory—and second of the season.
