LANCASTER, N.Y. — Garrett Zacharias picked up the win in the New York Super Stock Series event on Saturday night at Lancaster Motorplex.
Last year’s Monroe Extinguisher Sportsman track champion George Skora III from Eden, N.Y., drove on to score the feature win. Jeff Brown won the late model feature event. Mike Dalfonso won his first career street stock feature event. Andy Jankowiak picked up the win in the Mighty TQ Midget feature. It was Jankowiak’s first TQ Midget win at Lancaster since September of 2018.
Josh Schosek won the 4 Cylinder feature event for his first feature win of the season.
Sam Fullone and Jeff Brown brought the late models to the green flag for their feature event, with Brown showing the way.
Eldon King III quickly moving up to second. Fullone settled into third place, ahead of Bobby Weber and Zacharias. Brown and King would pull away from the balance of the field and would race amongst themselves for the lead and the win in the 20-lap feature distance.
Once the field got going, Sam Fullone was fending off the challenges from Garrett Zacharias, who was making his first-ever appearance in a late model at Lancaster. No one would catch Jeff Brown, as the veteran campaigner would win his first race at Lancaster since 2014.
Zacharias and Brian Hallett were on the front row for the New York Super Stocks Ferrario Auto Group 40.
Zacharias quickly got into the lead. Andy Cryan, Josh Hunter, Jacob Gustafson and Matt Druar all battled for third place early in the feature distance. The caution would fly for the first time as Hunter spun in turn three. Gustafson would take over third on lap six, as Tommy Krawczyk raced in fourth place.
Russell Knutsen spun in turn one to bring out the caution on lap nine. Krawczyk and Gustafson battled for third place for several laps, as Gustafson was able to hold Krawczyk off. Gustafson was able to race past Hallett to move into second place on lap 23.
Jake Christman entered the top five for the first time, as he was able to get around Andy Cryan to move into fifth on lap 25. Gustafson quickly reeled in race leader Zacharias as the field encountered lap traffic. Krawczyk came to a stop in turn two to bring out the caution on lap 32 while running inside the top five.
On the restart, Zacharias and Gustafson battled for the lead, with Zacharias continuing to show the way.
Jake Christman raced in third place, while Matt Druar took over fourth place from Hallett on lap 33. The red flag would come out on lap 39 as Jacob Gustafson nailed the Thermal Foam in turn one after his throttle was stuck on the No. 09 machine. “Gusty” climbed out of the car under his own power.
Zacharias would lead the final two laps and score the NYSS win at Lancaster over Druar and Cryan.
