MECHANICSBURG, Pa. — Lucas Wolfe scored a convincing victory in the 25-lap sprint-car feature in the 358/URC Shootout to benefit the Kasey Kahne Foundation June 27 at Williams Grove Speedway.
Wolfe started fourth and took the lead from Kevin Welsh on the fifth lap of the historic half-mile oval. Fred Rahmer charged from sixth to second and was pressuring Wolfe when he dropped out with a mechanical problem on lap 17.
Trevor Lewis moved into second but couldn’t stay with Wolfe, who opened a lead of more than a full straightaway. He earned $4,000 for the victory.
Lewis finished second, ahead of Welsh, Chad Layton, who started 15th, and Curt Michael, who charged from 19th.
NASCAR drivers Kasey Kahne and Dave Blaney were involved in a first-lap melee, which sidelined them and four other cars for the remainder of the evening.
Wolfe out-qualified the 47 cars in competition with a lap of 18.228 seconds.
Jake Lettich won the 358-late-model feature.
The finish:
Lucas Wolfe, Trevor Lewis, Kevin Welsh, Chad Layton, Curt Michael, Ed Aikin, Kevin Nouse, Billy Johns, Mark Bitner, Jason Clauss, Mike Walter, Nate Hammaker, Jim Siegel, Josh Weller, Brook Weibley, Jesse Hockett, Justin Collett, Fred Rahmer, Dave Blaney, Greg Hodnett, Blane Heimbach, Kasey Kahne, Dave Calaman, Pat Cannon.
