Del Collects First Lernerville Feature Win of 2007!!!

It was just a matter of time until Del Rougeux Jr. (#20D) of Frenchville found his way back to Victory Lane. After struggling through chassis woes in 2006, Rougeux has been a model of consistency in the Ferrante Motor Cars Modifieds this season. Coming into tonight’s action, Rougeux had finished in the top five seven times, including four third place finishes. Tonight everything finally came together, and he cruised to his first victory of the 2007 season at the Action Track. The 25 lap feature had just one caution for debris on lap five. Starting from the seventh starting position, Rougeux quickly made his way to the front. He was second when the caution flag flew and took the lead from early leader Brian Swartzlander two laps later on lap seven. Rougeux eventually pulled away and was never seriously challenged for the lead. Budweiser Points leader Brian Swartzlander (#83) of Leechburg finished second for the fourth time this season to compliment his five feature wins. June 22nd modified feature winner Dave Murdick of Slippery Rock was doing double duty once again, as he was driving the Pitkavish #1 Late Model in addition to piloting his own #61 modified to a third place finish. Jim Weller Jr. (#31) of Hubbard, OH and J.R. McGinley (#66) of Fairmount City rounded out the top five. Swartzlander and Rougeux won their qualifying heat races.
