Wednesday December 13, 2017 (Williams Grove Speedway) - Howard Weaver takes home his first ever Team Friday VLR Sprint Car series win tonight at a challenging Williams Grove Speedway in his Team Friday/ Dirt Division / RacingIn.com ride!
Weaver, who is well known at VLR for running up front in the Late Models and UMP Modifieds, started 8th and quickly made up ground on the front-runners before eventually taking the lead with 19 laps to go in the 35 lap affair to pick up his first Sprint Car win in the series.
The slick track conditions on an already difficult circuit proved costly for several drivers whose nights were ended by accidents, including race leader Chris Brenner on lap 7.
Weaver would work past pole-sitter and fellow Late Model and UMP Modified star Shane James to go on to win. James crossed the line second for his best career Sprint Car finish and was followed to the line by Australian driver Lewis Hewett in third. Nathan Paynter charged from 14th to finish 4th, while Thomas Carberry brought home a strong fifth place finish.
Rob Kerstetter picked up the hard charger award after advancing from 20th all the way to 6th at the end of a wild affair.
