YORK HAVEN, Pa.: Season openers held in the twilight of the afternoon are normally won from the first two rows on the starting grid.Then again, the Meyer's RV Super Sportsman division at BAPS Motor Speedway is a different animal. And so is Kenny Edkin, one of the best drivers to sit behind the wheel in this class at the speedway.Edkin made it work. He carved his way through the field from his 10th starting spot and took the lead on the 13th circuit. From there, he was the class of the field in the 25-Lap Meyers RV Super Sportsman main event.Matt Ondek started on the pole and beat Scott Dellinger to the first corner and led Lap 1. Dellinger didn’t go away and stalked the leader before taking the top spot away on the second circuit. Meanwhile, Edkin was charging to the front. The Marysville, Pa., ace was into the top five by Lap 4 and slid past Ondek on Lap 11 before chasing down the leader.
It didn’t take Edkin long to make his move. He caught Dellinger on the 13th circuit and surged into the lead. Two laps later, Chad Baker stopped on the backstretch and gave Dellinger a chance to retake the position.There were two more cautions, but Edkin was too strong. By the time the checkered flag flew, he had a .983-second victory and his 35th-career win at the speedway.
Dellinger settled for second, with Ondek taking third. Luke Deatrick and John Edkin completed the top five in the main event.
