PORT ROYAL — Chase Dietz finally parked it in Victory lane at the Port Royal Speedway on Saturday night and took home $5,000 for his effort

Devin Adams and Robbie Kendall lined up on the front row of the 25 lap A-main event, and battled side-by-side over the opening lap with Kendall leading the opening circuit and the next 3 laps before Justin Whittall, who started sixth, got past Adams to the inside to claim the runnerup spot.

Whittall started to make attempts at the top spot with just 19 laps remaining and got by Kendall for the lead coming off of turn No. 4 with 17 laps on the scoreboard remaining.

Adams got by Kendall for the second spot and Chase Dietz, who had fallen back as far as eighth, worked his way into the top five getting by Freddie Rahmer.

Dietz passed both Robbie Kendall and Michael Walter Jr. to find himself in the final podium spot and gaining ground on the top two cars.

Dietz worked the top side of turns one and two to get around Justin Whittall for the runnerup spot and would carry that speed around turns three and four to drive to Adams’ inside and take the lead away at the start finish line and then over the final nine laps he successfully navigated lapped traffic to hold on for the win, marking his first 410 sprint car win at the Port. Michael Walter was second and Devin Adams finished third.

Lance Dewease claimed the Ramsey’s Car Wash Hard Charger Award, passing 13 cars for the $500 award, and Derek Hauck took the J&S Classics Warrior Award after the No. 23 pill was drawn in victory lane, giving the Allenwood driver an extra $1,000.

In USAC East Coast wingless competition, Steven Drevicki led all 25 laps, fending off a challenge from Steven Miller III late to claim the $1,500 winner’s share.

The Penns Valley Meat Market PA Sprint Series 305 sprint cars ran double A-main events with the 50-car field split into two 25 car A-mains.

The first A-main saw John Braim and Nick Sweigart start on the front row, but it was Timmy Bittner who started in fourth who was able to get by both and pick up his first PA Sprint Series win of his career.

In the second A-main for the 305 sprint cars, Kruz Kepner started on the pole and led from wire to wire to pick up the win over Logan Spahr and Kenny Heffner.
