ROEHRICH WINS BY INCHES FOR OKTOBERFEST VICTORY
Track champion, Bill Hultberg, started on the pole for the Hobby Stock feature. Hultberg led early but Josh Roehrich made it a two car battle the moment the green flag waved. They raced side by side for numerous laps as Seth Howe-Kellar was all over their rear bumpers in third. An early caution allowed Roehrich to grab the lead on the restart as Hultberg fell into the clutches of Howe-Kellar. Jeremy Herr, who started 18th, quickly raced his way to the front and cracked the top five on lap five. Herr wasted no time passing Hultberg and then Howe-Kellar for second. Herr was all over Roehrich’s rear bumper. Finding some extra speed along the bottom line of the track, Herr pulled along side Roehrich. They raced door to door in the closing laps. When the checkered flag waved, Roehrich just narrowly edged Jeremy Herr at the finish line. Bill Hultberg finished third as Kelly Hoerner made a late race pass to finish fourth ahead of Seth Howe-Kellar.
•• After the conclusion of the feature, second place Jeremy Herr was disqualified for being too light at the scale.
