Cody Darrah made a triumphant return to Port Royal Speedway in Port Royal, PA on Saturday night to claim nearly $20,000 in the 12th running of the prestigious All Star Circuit of Champions Sprints Bob Weikert Memorial.

In taking the checkers, Darrah became just the second All Star touring driver to claim a win at the historic oval over the Pennsylvania Posse drivers in a history that dates back to 1981.

The victory was the second of Darrah’s career at the track and it came after several tense moments during the 40-lap A Main.

The initial start of the feature event was called back when Danny Dietrich got sideways in the first corner as the green flag unfurled, making contact with pre-race favorite Greg Hodnett.

Dietrich and defending event winner Hodnett were done for the night.

When action resumed, second starter Darrah and polesitter Brent Marks repeatedly pulled slide jobs on one another to gain control over the first two laps.

Marks would lead the first lap at the line with Darrah going out front at the line with two circuits.

Marks went back at Darrah in the first corner after crossing the line and swooped low to try a pass only to have Sheldon Haudenschild instead capitalize and motor by into second.

The front runners entered the backmarkers on the seventh lap as Marks reclaimed second. From there Marks began trying to keep pace with Darrah as the leader continued to pile up lap money.

During a caution for a stopped Steve Buckwalter on the 16th lap the race went red for a fuel stop and when action returned Marks took a shot at Darrah deep in the first turn.

But Darrah ran his momentum through the turns to pull back around Marks as the duo raced onto the backstretch before again entering traffic with 18 laps to go.

Darrah worked lapped traffic during the last half of the race. Disaster nearly struck with four laps to go when he made heavy contact with Caleb Helms as the pair raced onto the frontstretch. The contact send Helms hard into the outside wall. He escaped injury.

From there, Darrah jetted away to the win. Marks finished in second, followed by Dave Blaney in third, Dale Blaney in fourth and Ryan Smith in fifth.
