Schirnhofer Romps To PPM RUSH Late Models Score

IMPERIAL, Pa. — A beautiful summer evening would paint the landscape at Dirt’s Monster Half Mile on Saturday night for a TMT Transport Action Event.

PPMS would see seven heat races and five feature events. Tommy Schirnhofer would lead all 20 laps of the Rohrich RUSH Late Model feature, picking up his first win of the season.

The Rohrich RUSH Late Models were broken into two heat races with the top four from each heat entering the redraw for the 20-lap feature event. Schirnhofer would redraw the number one spot and start on the pole for the feature.

Starting to his outside and in second was Frank Magill. When the green flag dropped, Schirnnhofer would keep the early lead. Lap three had Schirnhofer still leading, Reft in second and Burgoon in third.

At the halfway point, Schirnhofer continued to increase his lead over the field with Burgoon now in second and Michael Norris now in third.

Schirnhofer would lead all laps of the event and go on to pick up his first win of the 2023 season. Following him to the line was Burgoon in second, John Mollick in third, Ben Policz in fourth and Frank Magill would complete the top five. 

Chris Schneider would pick up the win for the Penn Ohio Pro Stocks, while Stephen Shelpman would get another win for the Hobby Stocks. Kyle Janas would pick up his second win of the season for the Crawford Auto Repair Open Four Cylinders, and Gavin Kokolis would make a last-lap pass coming to the checkered flag to pick up his second win of the season for the All Ways Safe Flagging And Traffic Control Young Guns.
