By Judy McGee Timmons

RUMBLE IN THE VALLEY Night 1 5/31/2024

The Metzler Auto, Truck & Trailer Wingless Super Sportsman took the green with Brandon Shearer, Transtan Stoner, Eric Walker, Luke Lenker & Steve Wilbur sitting in the top positions. Shearer pulled to the front for 2 laps till the racer of Jason Gindlesperger got out of control between turns 3 & 4, putting the racers into a restart with Shearer, Lenker, Stoner, Perigo & Eric Walker now sitting in the top five, as Gindlesperger retired his racer to the pits. Shearer remained in control at the wave of the green, but Lenker had his sights set on that top position as he put the pressure on the leader. Craig Perigo came from sixth to third in four laps, joining the chase with Lenker, as Stoner, & Brad Mellott became part of the top five.
