Bryan Bernheisel takes the checkers for his first ULMS victory.
What won the race: Going back out front after Alex Ferree had a flat tire with five laps remaining, pole-starting Bryan Bernheisel of Jonestown, Pa., won Friday at Clinton County Motor Speedway for his first career Zimmer's United Late Model Series victory. The fast-qualifier earned $3,000 and beat Coleby Frye to the checkers by 1.135 seconds.
Quotable: “That was a tough deal for Ferree, but we were there to capitalize, when he had his flat tire late in the race," Bernheisel said. "Last week dad won at Selinsgrove, and now I picked up a win. I feel like our cars are getting better and better every time that we hit the track."
Key notes: Bernheisel led the first nine laps and the last five of the 30-lapper. ... Bryan's first victory followed his father (and chassis builder) Jim's first victory seven days earlier in Selinsgrove, Pa. ... The younger Bernheisel notched his first feature victory since July 14, 2018, at Selinsgrove. ... Alex Ferree, who last on the lead lap in 13th after changing his lap-25 flat tire, led laps 10-24. ... Series points leader Max Blair retired on the 10th lap after losing his brakes. ... Bryce Davis and Kevin Probst scratched from the main event.
Winner's sponsors: Bernheisel's Lazer Chassis is sponsored by Bernheisel Race Components, One Potato Two Potato, Russ Gibble Roofing & Siding, Pioneer Pole Buildings, Dieffenbach's Kettle Chips, Total Machine, Precision Powder Coating, Kettle Cooked Uglies and Focus Shock Technologies.
