MECHANICSBURG, Pa. — Lucas Wolfe held off the late race challenges of Freddie Rahmer to win the 25-lap 410 sprint car feature at Williams Grove Speedway on Friday night.
The victory was the 24th of his career at the track.
Delaware’s Andy Best took the win in the 20-lap 358 sprint car feature to close the night, notching his first career oval checkers in the division.
Wolfe led the first two laps from the second starting spot in the 410 sprint main before a light rain halted the event.
Fortunately, the shower was brief and the race was able to resume within 30 minutes with Wolfe racing ahead of Chad Trout, Kyle Reinhardt and Rahmer.
Only two more laps could be completed before Tony Jackson crashed in the third turn, slowing the pace.
Rahmer got by Reinhardt on the restart before the pace was again slowed with seven laps away, this time for a spun Jeff Halligan.
Wolfe continued to set the pace at the halfway point but by lap 15 Rahmer was racing with Trout for the second spot, which he was able to secure with seven laps to go.
And by that time Wolfe was racing through the rear of the field, allowing Rahmer to close in, setting up a battle for control.
On more than one occasion Rahmer was able to work alongside of Wolfe for the top spot only to see Wolfe hold on and surge back into control.
The pair set a torrid pace through traffic all the way to the finish line with Rahmer mounting a furious final lap, final turn bid for the win.
But a last-lap pass was not to be as Wolfe took the victory by .318 seconds over a challenging Rahmer.
Troy Wagaman Jr. was third followed by Trout and PA Dyno Hard Charger Matt Campbell.
The finish:
Feature (25 laps): 1. Lucas Wolfe, 2. Freddie Rahmer, 3. Troy Wagaman Jr., 4. Chad Trout, 5. Matt Campbell, 6. Devon Borden, 7. Kyle Reinhardt, 8. Logan Wagner, 9. Justin Whittall, 10.
