| Davies Delivers at NDRL's McKean County Raceway's ULMS 'Duffy
Memorial' |
Smethport, PA (April 27, 2013) It
took veteran racer Ron Davies of Warren, PA just ten laps to move into
the lead and thirteen laps to pull away for good while taking home the
$3,000 top prize in the NDRL's ULMS sanctioned Jim & Mike Duffy
Memorial at the NDRL's McKean County Raceway.
Former World of Outlaws Late Model Series Rookie of the Year Russ King
of Bristolville, OH and Eldred, PA's Bob Close led the stacked 24 car
field to the green flag with Close taking the early lead followed

by King, Davies, and a hard charging Dave Hess Jr. Davies and King
battled for the second place position with Davies gaining the
advantage while Hess Jr., also made his way around King for third.
Close, who had lead from the drop of the green flag set a torrid
pace before catching lapped traffic on lap nine giving Davies the
opportunity to make a bid for the lead. Davies took full advantage of
the opening and took the lead from Close as the field completed lap
ten. Close would not go without a fight though as he regained the lead
for laps 11 and 12 before Davies, who was also trying to hold off Hess
Jr., was able to get by Close again on lap 13. Hess Jr. followed
Davies around Close to take over the second spot before Close bounced
off a rough patch in the racing surface sending his car into the air
briefly and landing hard back onto the surface. Close slowed and
pulled off ending his night on lap 15.

Davey Johnson Cools Competition with NDRL's ULMS Win at Sharon
Speedway |
Hartford, OH (April 20, 2013) Greensburg,
PA's Davey Johnson took the lead on lap four and never looked back as
he held off a late rally from 2011 NDRL's ULMS Champion Mike Knight to
capture his sixth series win in his storied career.
Jim Rasey and Max Blair, who was piloting a Boom Briggs backup
car, led the field to the green flag with Rasey taking the early lead.
Rasey pulled Blair, Johnson, and Knight around the 3/8 mile oval until
Johnson blasted by Blair to move into second on lap three.
Johnson wasted no time as just one lap later he made his move to the
bottom of the leader and made the pass for the lead. |

Johnson, who was clearly the class of the field all evening after
breaking the seven year old track record of 15.343 set by Robbie
Scott in August of 2006 during time trials, stretched his lead
until a lap eight caution slowed the pace. When racing resumed,
Johnson again pulled away from the field as Blair made his way
past Rasey to take
over the second spot. Rasey then continued to slip as Knight worked
his way into the third position moving the pole-sitter back to fourth.
