Pegher outruns Blair of McKean County
EAST SMETHPORT, Pa. (June 30) — Mike Pegher Jr. drew the pole position Thursday at McKean County Raceway and fended off rival Max Blair for a victory in the Bully Dog Cross the Borders Speedweek event on the Fastrak Northeast tour for Crate Late Models. Pegher earned $1,200 for the 25-lap victory.
