One hundred fifteen sprint cars graced the grounds of Trail-Way Speedway for the opening night of the PA 600 Speedweek.
Robbie Kendall continued his winning streak by claiming the opening race of Speedweek in the 25-lap 600cc Micro Sprint feature.
“He(Eric Bodine) was better than me, actually, but he slid up and I had to take advantage of it.” explained Kendall after climbing out of his George A. Falter Fundraising #55K and receiving many congratulations from family, friends and crew.
Polesitter Eric Bodine took the lead on the start and drove away from the 600cc Micro field. Timmy Buckwalter grabbed the second spot but was unable to catch Bodine. The top five cars, Bodine, Buckwalter, Mike Rutherford, Kendall and Jimmy Brookens were spread out and remained the same for 6 laps until the caution flew on lap 15 for Tyler Walton.
Another caution followed and during the caution, second place Timmy Buckwalter stopped on the track and was taken to the pits, ending his night. When the race resumed, Rutherford inherited the second position. Kendall got passed Rutherford before the completion of the 16th lap. Another caution slowed the field on lap 20, when Jesse Snyder stopped in turns three and four. On the restart, Kendall dove to the inside and slide under Bodine to take away the lead.
From that point on, Kendall never looked back, he claimed his second T-W win in a row by nearly a straight away over Bodine, who settled for second. Rutherford, Brookens, and Jeff Hartman rounded out the top five. Sixth through tenth were Heath Hehnly, Ryan Greth, 22nd-starting Ryan Smith, 27th-starting Isaac Sneeringer and Arron Spahr.
Eric Bodine accumulated the most points of the 73 600cc Micro Sprints in passing point qualifying. Isaac Sneeringer was the highest driver in Trail-Way points who did not qualify and was granted the 27th provisional starting spot.
The PA 600 Speedweek will continue tomorrow night at Lincoln Speedway. Gates open at 5 p.m. and racing begins at 7 p.m.
