BECHTELSVILLE, Pa. — In a wildly exciting main event, Mike Gular outdueled Jared Umbenhauer and Brett Kressley, scoring his third win of the season in the 30-lap T.P. Trailer NASCAR Modified feature Saturday night at Grandview Speedway.
Umbenhauer and Kressley were locked in a tremendous battle for the lead — in and out of lapped traffic — which saw Kressley take the lead just before the only caution of the feature waved on lap 22. On the restart, Umbenhauer and Kressley went side by side into turn one and slid up high allowing Gular a chance to dive low, making a three-wide battle for the lead.
Umbenhauer retook the lead following the restart, with Gular moving by Kressley for second.
One lap later, Gular caught Umbenhauer and made the winning pass down the back stretch to take a lead he would never surrender, going on to score his second straight win and third of the season.
It was also Gular’s ninth Saturday night NASCAR Advance Auto Parts Weekly Series feature win.
In the T.P. Truck Equipment 25-lap Sportsman main event, Logan Watt came out on top of a three-way battle for the top spot between long time race leader Joey Vaccaro and Kyle Smith to score his second win of the season, becoming the first driver to score a repeat win this season.
The Outlaw Racing Series Vintage cars were on hand participating in the annual Dave Smith Memorial race, which saw Kevin Kuser score the win in the modified division and Sven Olson pick up the sportsman victory.
