Sarver, PA (May 17, 2025) The rain stayed away from Lernerville Speedway on Friday night, and a racy surface greeted drivers who made their way to the pits as the BRP Modified Tour headlined a different kind of Fab4 Racing Revved UP with Marburger Farm Dairy. The Glassmere Fuel Service Late Models enjoyed a rare night off, making room for a Hovis Auto & Truck Supply RUSH Late Models City Chevrolet weekly event on Friday night while the Peoples Natural Gas Sprint Cars and the Millerstown Pic-A-Part Pro Stocks rounded out the four division program.

A robust 37 car BRP Modified Tour field assembled at The Action Track with a good many invaders from the Niagara Frontier on hand to take on the best of the best among the Western PA/Eastern OH contingent in the 35-lap, $2,500-to-win tour opener. Justin Shea started on the pole and was eclipsed in quick fashion by four time track champion Jeremiah Shingledecker who was in command in the early laps with his car positioned on the cushion ledge, flirting with the final inch of it at times as he used the momentum to his advantage. Meanwhile, another four time champion, Canada’s Mat Williamson, started from the third spot and began stalking the leader in the early green flag laps.

Using a lower groove of the surface, Williamson gradually made up ground, passing Shingledecker just past the halfway point while fifth starting and defending tour champion Erick Rudolph found himself running third. A caution with nine laps to go seemingly set the stage for a classic battle for the top three, and upon the restart, Williamson simply drove away while Rudolph battled past Shingledecker for the second spot. Rudolph was able to make up a tenth of a second or two over the remaining laps but with no heavy lapped traffic in front of Williamson, the St. Catharine’s, Ontario driver was able to cross under the checkered flag with a fairly comfortable two second advantage ahead of Rudolph and a hard charging Garrett Krummert who rounded out the podium from the 10th starting position. Shingledecker and invader Dalton Slack took up the final two spots in the top five.
