Abbottstown, PA (July 10, 2021) – Going into Saturday night Tyler Ross had struggled the past few races, “We didn’t have a very good Speedweek.” But all that changed on Dean’s Auto Plaza Night, “This thing has been a rocket ship all night.” Ross continued, “She was driving like a Cadillac out there.” Ross and the Lefever Electric team turned things around in a big way, winning $5,000 in their second victory of the 2021 season. Ross wired the field in the 30-lap feature, “The car was that good. I could put it anywhere I wanted.”

Tyler Ross and Bradley Howard shared the front row for the start of the main event. Ross took the lead with Jim Siegel moving by Howard for second at the line. Howard battled back but settled for third.
