Brent Marks Claims $20K Win in Night 2 of Bob Weikert Memorial; Dillan Stake Dominates in Limited Late Model
Port Royal, PA -- The Bob Weikert Memorial weekend was set to be a huge one, but late Friday night, the stakes were raised after it was announced that $35,000 had been added to the winner's share of the next two night's racing activities with Saturday's race paying $20,000 to the winner and Sunday's paying $100,000. On Saturday night, Brent Marks was able to claim the winner's share, his 2nd win of the High Limit Racing season and his 16 overall win at Port Royal Speedway.
Danny Dietrich and Lance Dewease made up the front row of the 25 lap A-main event on Saturday night presented by Folkens Brothers Trucking with Lance Dewease taking the early race lead.
Marks, who started outside the 2nd row, would quickly make his way to the runner up spot using the outside lane of the speedway to get around Dietrich before a caution would restack the field just 5 laps completed.
On the ensuing restart, Marks would hold off a charge from Dietrich and again use the top side to mount a charge around the track's 2nd winningest all-time driver in Dewease and would lead the remaining 19 laps.
"The car had so much stick and so much drive, it was a lot of fun to drive," said Marks in victory lane recapping his $20,000 win. "I love racing with Lance. I looked up to him growing up, and it's awesome to race him for another win."
Lance Dewease and Ryan Smith would round out the podium, with Smith going from the 8th starting spot to the third position.
"I knew from the first couple of laps that I wasn't going to be as good late as I normally like to be," said Dewease during his podium interview. "This is the first night that I've felt we've put the whole night together."
In Zimmerman Truck Repair limited late model competition, the night was all about Dillan Stake. Stake would lead all 20 laps of the A-main event claiming himself the $2,000 winner's check.
Stake would have a dominating performance from the start of his night, winning his heat race by over 7 seconds, and would have a lead as large as 5 seconds at times in the main event.
Andrew Yoder would finish in the 2nd position and Jaxton Garmin rounded out the podium.
Sprint car drivers will now prepare for the largest paying race in Pennsylvania history for dirt track racing with the Bob Weikert Memorial paying $100,000 to the winner on Sunday with Kubota High Limit Racing.
All gates will open for Sunday's event at 12PM with plenty of events for fans of all ages to take part in around the fairgrounds.
