Another exciting night at ERP
<Br> Ephrata Raceway Park | Hagadone News Network | UPDATED 11 years, 5 months AGO
EPHRATA - The weather held out for the third night of The AMP sponsored Jerry's Auto Supply Racing Series at Ephrata Raceway Park, which brought us the Ephrata Pioneer Muffler II Pure Stocks, Pepsi Racing Street Stocks, and the Jerry's Auto Supply 360 Winged Sprints May 18.
In the Ephrata Pioneer Muffler II Pure Stocks, Derrick Kapalo off to a shaky start early in the evening grabbed on to the lead in the third lap of the main event and carried it all the way to the end. But not without the 62X of Jeremy Larsen giving Kapalo a run for the lead.
Pepsi Street Stock racer Patrick Canady had the lead up to the 9th lap in the main event when Neil Nelson of George took over. Canady gave a fair shot to pull it back, but Nelson hung on to take his third win of the night.
In the Jerry's Auto Supply 360 Winged Sprints Rookie Austin Weber, Moses Lake, worked hard to hang on to a first place, but Joe Smith decided at lap 13 to take over. Smith won the Les Schwab A Trophy Dash, A Heat Race and Main events.
