CALIFORNIA INVADER BUDDY KOFOID WINS THE WELDON STERNER MEMORIAL; Hayden Miller Scores Second Career Victory
Abbottstown, PA (April 9, 2022) – Buddy Kofoid has been running the Central PA circuit early this season and the California driver made his first win in Central PA a big one. Kofoid’s first win was Saturday’s $6,900 Weldon Sterner Memorial.
On his big win, Kofoid shared in victory lane, :It’s good to be here for sure. First Central PA win is pretty badass.”
If you were paying attention to Kofoid’s car during the 35-lap feature you might have noticed something was off, “Our motor wasn’t running up to where it should be and we still got it done.”
Kofoid lined up second for the feature but fell back to third on the start. Buddy worked his way back up to second on lap 9 and took the lead on lap 11, “I felt our speed was there all race and it was just hard to get going. I’m glad there wasn’t any yellows otherwise we probably wouldn’t have won.”
Alan Krimes started on the pole of the 35-lap 19th Annual Weldon Sterner Memorial with Buddy Kofoid lined up second. Krimes led the field into turn 1 with third place starting Danny Dietrich up to second and Kofoid in third.
Dietrich went to the top and took the lead at the line on lap 2. After falling back to third on the start Kofoid was battling Krimes for second.
Freddie Rahmer got by Dylan Norris for fourth but the red flag came out on lap 3 negating the pass. The red was for Jim Siegel who flipped in turn 2.
Danny Dietrich, Krimes, Kofoid, Norris and Freddie Rahmer were the top five for the restart.
Norris was all over Kofoid’s bumper on the restart. Rahmer was also in the mix trying to get back by Norris. All three drivers held their positions.
Rahmer had Norris by a nose at the line for fourth on lap 5. Kofoid slid Krimes for second in turns 3 and 4 and took the spot on lap 9.
The tail end of the field loomed ahead of Dietrich on lap 10. Kofoid tried a slider on Danny in turns 1 and 2 as they got into lapped traffic but Dietrich held the position. Kofoid took the lead on lap 11 by half a car length at the line.
Kofoid put a lapped car between him and Danny and started to pull away. The leaders worked their way through heavy lapped traffic with 20 laps to go. Danny looked to the inside of Kofoid in turn 3 to try and take the lead back but Kofoid blocked the bottom.
Danny took another look on the inside of turn 3 on lap 19 but Kofoid held the spot.
Rahmer got under Danny in turn 1 to take second and took the spot on lap 21. Rahmer reeled in Kofoid quickly as two lapped cars battled in front of them. Kofoid cleared the lapped cars and pulled away.
Justin Peck was charging through the field and was up to 4th from his 12th starting spot.
Rahmer, Danny and Peck were running together and trying to reel in Kofoid as the laps wound down.
Kofoid scored his first win in Central PA, earning him $6,900, by crossing the line 1.035 seconds ahead of Rahmer. Dietrich finished third and the night’s hard charger, Justin Peck was fourth. Chase Dietz completed the top five.
Danny Dietrich set quick time over the 43-car field with a lap of 13.767 seconds. The 410 sprint heat races were won by Alan Krimes, Buddy Kofoid, Mark Smith and Freddie Rahmer.
Hayden Miller Scores Second Career Victory
Hayden Miller and Justin Foster shared the front row for the 20-lap feature on Saturday night. Miller led the field into turn 1 but Foster was right there using a higher line.
Foster had the advantage at the line by a nose to lead the first lap. The yellow flag flew on lap 1 when Tim Stallings got turned around in turn 4.
Foster led Miller, Jayden Wolf, David Holbrook and Nash Ely to the cone for the single file restart.
Wolf looked to the outside of Miller through turns 1 and 2 and took second as they raced down the back stretch.
Wolf then went to work closing in on Foster for the lead. Wolf was getting a good run coming out of turn 2 and the two were nearly nose to tail on lap 5.
Wolf and Foster brought out the caution flag on lap 8 as they raced into turn 1 and made contact. Both drivers rejoined the field for the restart.
Miller inherited the lead and led Holbrook, Ely, Cody Fletcher and Brett Wanner on the restart.
Lapped traffic loomed ahead of Miller with two laps to go. Holbrook was closing in on Miller with the white flag waving and looked to the inside of Hayden in the turns, but could not make the pass.
Miller won his second feature at Lincoln almost exactly a year after his first win (4/10/21) at the track by .498 seconds over Holbrook. Ely finished third and Fletcher crossed the line fourth. Wanner completed the top five.
The 358 sprint car heat race winners were Brett Wanner, Justin Foster, Jayden Wolf and Cody Fletcher.
