Tyler County Speedway

Penalties for two drivers lift Blose to Tyler victory

From series and track reports

MIDDLEBOURNE, W.Va. (May 15) — Mike Blose crossed the finish line third Saturday at Tyler County Speedway, but the 52-year-old driver from Dayton, Pa., was later elevated to victory when the first two finishers were penalized. Blose earned $1,500 for the 25-lap victory, a makeup from a May 1 rainout on the Fastrak Northeast and Mid-Ohio Valley tours for Crate Late Models.

Apparent winner Mike Pegher Jr. of Wexford, Pa., was stripped of the victory because of unsportmanlike conduct of a crew member following the race, and apparent runner-up Max Blair was docked two positions for clipping an infield cone in turn two on the final lap.

The revised finishing order put 12th-starting Kyle Thomas in second followed by Blair, Gary Knollinger Jr., and Josh Holtgraver.

Shawn Jeff led at the outset, but Blair went from third to first on the second lap to take command. Pegher quickly moved into second, stalking Blair and taking the point on lap 21. That's they way they took the checkers, but the postrace rulings changed the outcome.

Fastrak @ Tyler County: (1) Mike Blose, (2) Kyle Thomas, (3) Max Blair, (4) Gary Knollinger Jr., (5) Josh Holtgraver, (6) Shane Hitt, (7) Joe Martin, (8) K.C. Burdette, (9) Daniel Hill, (10) Freddie Carpenter, (11) Shawn Jett, (12) Joe Loudin, (13) Bud Watson, (14) Kris Southern, (15) Butch Lambert, (16) Michael Griffin, (17) Aaron Barley, (18) Joel Prosser, (19) John Watson, (20) Chad Green, (21) Melvin Ferguson, (22) David Gorrell, (23) Josh Double. Disqualified: Mike Pegher Jr. Heat race winners (among 30 cars): Blair, Jett, Burdette, Holtgraver. Consolation winner: Southern.
