Abbottstown, Pa. (5/25/19): Jeremy Ott and Bill Diehl shared the front row of Saturday night’s feature. Ott got out to the lead with Diehl trying to make the outside work to take the lead. Before the first lap was complete the caution came out. Austin Bellemare, Cory Phillips, Rick Hartwig, Chandler Pagnotta and Tony Mrakovich got caught up in turns 3 and 4. Jorjie Sweger came to a stop on the front stretch.
The field lined up for a complete restart. This time Diehl made the outside work and got the lead on the start. Ott was close and all over Diehl for first.
Travis McClelland was up to fourth from his ninth starting spot on lap two. On the next lap McClelland got by Bill Diehl for third going into turn 1.
Diehl started to pull away from the field. Travis Perry was working on Blaine Leppo for fourth. Perry got his nose under Leppo on lap 5 but Leppo beat him back to the flag stand. Perry made the move for fourth on the next lap.
McClelland was on Ott’s bumper as he tried to take second. The pair caught Diehl on lap 10 with the top three running bumper to bumper.
The leaders caught lapped traffic on lap 12 but moved around the first car maintaining their single file line.
The caution flag came out on lap 14 for Cory Phillips who came to a stop in turn 4.
Diehl led the field to the cone for the single file restart. Ott stuck his nose under Diehl for first coming out of turn 4 but Diehl held the spot.
The next lap Ott stuck his nose under Diehl coming out of turn 4, but this time it worked, and he beat Diehl back to the flag stand to take the lead.
The caution came out again on lap 17 for Patrick Debroisse, Zach Settle and Rick Hartwig. Hartwig was able to drive away. The caution turned to red flag conditions when Debroisse’s car went up in flames. Debroisse walked away from the fire.
Before the field could get lined up to complete the final three laps rain started to fall. The track crew ran in the track and just as it was coming in rain came again. The feature finish was made official.
