Saturday

SANDUSKY, Ohio — Chris Perley and the Vic Miller crew continued to roll over the International SuperModified Ass’n competition Saturday night at Sandusky Speedway, completing a weekend sweep at the 30th annual Hy-Miler weekend.
Perley took over the lead just shy of the halfway mark, dodged some bullets and went on to lap almost the entire field. The prestigious 100-lap victory was the team’s sixth triumph to date on the ISMA-Wirtgen tour this year. It also earned Perley a guaranteed spot in September’s Budweiser Int’l Classic and the East-West Shootout in November.
“I can’t believe how good the car was,” Perley said. “We started out a little loose, and I was a little scared of everybody behind me. I figured if I didn’t have the car for it tonight, I’d get the lead and make them go by me. And then the car actually turned tight. It just got better and better.”
While Perley was out front riding the rails, the action heated behind. In the waning laps, the shuffling began among racers vying for the top five spots. With five laps to go it was Mike Lichty, Dave Shullick, Jr., Doug Didero and Dave McKnight doing battle. As the checkered waved for Perley, Lichty’s No. 84 sputtered, and Shullick, Jr. grabbed second as Lichty dropped back to fourth behind Didero. McKnight settled for fifth.
The finish:
Chris Perley, Dave Shullick, Jr., Doug Didero, Mike Lichty, Dave McKnight, Moe Lilje, Charlie Schultz, Timmy Jedrzejek, Michael Barnes, John Benson, Jr., Mike Ordway, Jr., Bob Magner, Rich Reid, Vern Romanoski, Pat Lavery, Mark Sammut, Lou Ciccone, Eric Lewis, Larry Lehnert, Bob Dawson, Dave Shullick, Sr., Justin Belfiore, Jack Smith, Gene Lee Gibson, Jeff Holbrook, Nokie Fornoro, Robbie Summers, Jon Henes.

Friday

SANDUSKY, Ohio — Chris Perley continued his unbelievable performance on the International SuperModified Ass’n circuit Friday night at Sandusky Speedway.
After starting 12th in a strong field of winged supers, he worked his way quickly to the front. A challenge of his seemingly omnipresent rival, Dave McKnight, came once again, as McKnight took the lead of the 40-lapper on lap 21, with Perley behind him. On lap 30, Perley slung outside McKnight off the fourth corner of the half-mile oval to take lead and the victory. Dave Shullick, Jr., Lou Cicconi and Nokie Fornoro followed Perley and McKnight to the line.
The finish:
