Laps Led: Williams 1-17, Kruseman 18-30
Cory Kruseman set a new record by winning his fifth SCRA Sprint Car main in a
row at The PAS. He shared the old record with Rip Williams. Williams
handled all of the main event until lap 17 when he got together with the
lapped car of Ronnie Clark and started a chain reaction crash that also
involved Richard Griffin (Griffin got upside down), Jordan Hermansader, Marc
Hart, Brian Venard and Rickie Gaunt. Only Williams and Gaunt
restarted. At the end, Kruseman was nearly a half racetrack ahead of
second place Rutherford.
Other cars upside down on the night were Jeff Schildmeyer and Danny Sheridan.
Schildmeyer flipped several time going into turn three in the
“C”main after running over the right rear of Glen Crossno. Bad
looking crash that
essentially wasted the car, but he walked away unhurt. Sheridan and John
Scott touched in the 4th heat with Sheridan getting upside down coming off
turn two and breaking the frame on his car. He was unhurt, but done for
the night.
Fans, drivers, crewmen and officials donated $7,860.00 to “Big George
Gervais
and his family.
