Drake Troutman captured Friday's $4,000 ULMS victory at McKean County.
What won the race: Powering by early leader Michael Lake, fourth-starting Drake Troutman of Hyndman, Pa., led the rest of Friday's 30-lap Jay's Automotive United Late Model Series feature at McKean County Raceway. Troutman's $4,000 payday marks his second career ULMS victory and his first since topping last fall's Steel City Stampede at Lernerville Speedway in Sarver, Pa.
Key notes: Lake, of Uniontown, Pa., settled for second after leading the first few laps. Lake was chasing back-to-back victories after winning Thursday's $4,000 weekend opener at Bradford Speedway in Rew, Pa. ... Ryan Montgomery advanced three spots and completed the podium. ... Third-starting Tyler Emory spun on the opening lap to draw the race's first caution before rebounding to finish fifth. ... Pole-starting Dylan Lewis slowed to bring out the second and final stoppage on lap 12. ... It was the first ULMS event at McKean County since 2021.
On the move: Doug Eck of Corry, Pa., started 15th and finished eighth.
