Sarver, PA (July 23, 2021) It was ˜Christmas in July as the Buckeye Outlaw Sprint Series (BOSS) and the RUSH Summer Showcase took the main stage at the Lernerville Speedway on Friday, July 23. The nights festivities were kicked off by Grand Marshall Joe Wrenn of Glick Fire Equipment, the programs presenting sponsor, as we honored area First Responders. All Police, EMT, and Fire staff members were offered free admission as a Thank You for their service to our communities.

The BOSS Sprints were the first feature to hit the speedway and Carmen Perigo jumped out to the early lead. Perigo pulled away from the field for a few laps but Isaac Chapple, winner of four straight BOSS feature events, had climbed into the second position and began to stalk Perigo for the top spot. By lap five, Chapple had caught the race leader and was primed to make his move. As the two headed into turn one, Chapple drove low into turn one and slid up the racetrack in front of Perigo to take the lead on lap six. The 25-lap feature was slowed by four cautions, but Chapple was able to fend off the field for the remainder of the event to claim his fifth straight BOSS feature event. Matt Westfall came home second as Perigo followed in third. Mike Miller and Jesse Vermillion rounded out the top five.

˜This place is tricky, they gave us a run for our money tonight, Chapple stated in Terry Bowser Excavating Victory Lane. ˜We werent very good early in the night, we were a little better in the heat race, but we really needed to go to work before the feature. I want to thank Lee and Savannah whos here with me, we worked hard for this one.

Michael Duritsky Jr. led from start to finish in the caution free Performance RUSH Late Models feature event. Duritsky held off charges from Will Thomas and Logan Zarin to claim the 20-lap feature event. Following Zarin was Darryl Charlier in fouth and Joe Martin in fifth. ˜I couldnt be happier, exclaimed Duritsky in victory lane. ˜This means a lot to me, this is one of the biggest tracks around, theres been a lot of great people up here in this victory lane and Im glad to be one of them!

Chad Ruhlman reigned supreme in the Equipment Rental Options RUSH Sprints feature event. Ruhlman, who started fifth, made his way to the runner up spot by lap six and hounded then leader Blaze Myers from laps 10 through 14 when Ruhlman made his move coming out of turn four to take the lead. Ruhlman led the rest of the way while Blaze Myers held on for second followed by John Mollick in third, Gale Ruth in fourth and Zach Morrow finished fifth. ˜That was a fun race, Ruhlman said in victory lane. ˜The lapped car definitely made it a little tough on him (Myers) there. We threaded the needle there on the back stretch, hats off to the 43 (Myers), he worked his butt off tonight. Ruhlman continued, ˜The track was beautiful, monster cushion and Im not used to that, but I guess we just channeled our inner Larson (Kyle) and ran the cushion and made sure we didnt push through the corners. Need to thank Tim, Tim, and Bob. Those guys are working their butts off, I just sit here as the pretty face in the car. Chad went on to thank RUSH for putting on their Manufacturers Night presented by MSD Performance, ˜And thanks to all the sponsors that did the give-a-ways tonight, that was pretty nice.

In the evenings finale, the Hovis Auto & Truck Supply RUSH Sportsman Modifieds took to the speedway with Chaz Wolbert leading all 20 laps to claim his 7th RUSH win of the season. Coming home second was Ben Easler followed by Justin Shea in third, fourth was Tony Tatgenhorst while Rob Kristyak rounded out the top five. ˜I just kept the bottom protected, Wolbert claimed in victory lane. ˜The track really slicked off compared to what we had in the heat races. I just tried to hit my marks and stay smooth and straight and thats where it got us!
