BECHTELSVILLE, Pa. – Adam Carberry, coming from a long line of racing Carberry family members, scored his first win in the 25-lap United Racing Club 360 sprint car event Saturday at Grandview Speedway.
Polesitter Josh Weller was off and running at the drop of the green in the URC feature and set a torrid pace until the field was regrouped on the tenth lap when Ryan Stillwagon, a provisional starter, stopped on the backstretch to bring out the yellow.
On the restart Carberry, who had just overtaken second the previous lap, outgunned Weller to become the new pacesetter. Derek Locke followed through at the same time to challenge.
Lapped traffic came onto the scene by the 17th lap allowing Locke to close in on Carberry.
The pair with Carberry on the high groove and Locke on the inside, ran side by side, but Carberry still maintained the lead.
Carberry never looked back once he took over first and pulled into victory lane for a well-deserved win. Paulie Colagiovanni was second with Locke third followed by Ryan Taylor and Weller. Troy Betts, Davie Franek, Matt Tanner, Tyler Ross and Curt Michael completed the top-10.
