Brandon Overton claimed the biggest win of his career as he parked it in victory lane after leading every lap of the Firecracker 100 at Lernerville Speedway in Sarver, Pennsylvania.
“Man I tell you what, I come here and get my first Outlaw win and then I get the biggest win of my career,” said the Evans, Georgia native. “I just can’t thank my boys enough. I crashed the crap out of this thing earlier today and my boys fixed it up, and tuned it up, and we put ourselves in position to win. This is a dream come true.”
Overton claimed his first-ever Outlaw win during his sophomore season with the Series at the preliminary event for the 10th annual Firecracker 100. His win in 2016 was dedicated to his father’s commitment to helping him to reach that point in his career. Just one year later, Overton was able to put the cherry on top of his experience at Lernerville Speedway with a $30,000 payday.
Mike Marlar and Tim McCreadie were looking to capitalize on any mistakes made by the young gun, but Overton’s run was faultless. With just nine laps remaining, only .429 seconds stood between Marlar and the leader, but Overton was able to hold him off.
“There really wasn’t a lot of room there to pass him but I was right under him a lot of times,” said Marlar. “They had one little sweet spot on the track and I tip-toed to the left of it and to the right of it but I just couldn’t make anything happen out there.”
Although Marlar couldn’t complete his pass for the lead, he was able to pass McCreadie for second on lap 37.
“I know it’s not easy,” said McCreadie. “I know these two guys up here (Overton and Marlar) made it look easy but it’s not easy. I’m thankful I have a good ride.”
McCreadie held off a late race charge by Don O’Neal, who found his way to contend for the podium with just a few laps to go. Chris Madden finished in fifth.
Dale McDowell, Russ King, Brandon Sheppard, Mike Norris and Chub Frank rounded out the top ten.
The World of Outlaws Craftsman Late Model Series will return action on Wednesday, June 28 at Route 66 Raceway in Joliet, Illinois for the FVP Outlaw Clay Classic. For more information, visit WoOLMS.com.
