Mechanicsburg - Freddie Rahmer claimed the race of the season to date at Williams Grove Speedway on Friday night, holding off Lance Dewease and Daryn Pittman for the $6,000 win in the Kevin Gobrecht Classic Challenge for 410 sprint cars.

The win was the defending track champion's first oval victory of the year.

In the 358 sprint main, Dylan Norris charged forward from the sixth row to win his fourth race of the season at Williams Grove.

Kody Hartlaub charged from the pole into the lead in the 25-lap 410 sprint feature ahead of Rahmer and hit the rear of the field on the seventh tour.

And while Hartlaub was able to outdistance Rahmer on clear track, traffic proved to be a different story as Rahmer was able to drive down the leader's advantage by the halfway point.

But at the same time sixth starter Lance Dewease was challenging Rahmer for second as the pair was catching the leader.

Rahmer took his first jab at the lead on the 14th lap when he got by Hartlaub deep in the third turn only to see the East Berlin pilot turn his car off of the cushion and reclaim the spot at the line.

And by that time, Dewease was all over the pair as the leaders zigzagged and darted through traffic.

With six laps to go it was still any of the trios race to claim and with five to go both Rahmer and Dewease had swallowed up Hartlaub to be first and second.

Dewease then went for the lead while fifth starter Daryn Pittman surged into the top three.

Dewease was scored the leader with four laps to go by .001 seconds, an advantage not visible to the naked eye.

Rahmer then snapped back into control as the pair raced into the first corner.

Pittman then threatened to take second away as Dewease worked on the leader all the way to the finish, coming up short by .250 seconds.

Pittman was just .635 seconds behind the leader, finishing third.

Troy Wagaman Jr. rode home fourth followed by Hartlaub who had faltering brakes.

Sixth through 10th went to Brock Zearfoss, Cameron Smith, Danny Dietrich, Justin Whittall and Tyler Ross.

Heats went to TJ Stutts, Hartlaub and Wagaman Jr.

Pittman set fast time with a lap of 16.623 seconds.

Andy Best led the first 12 laps of the 20-lap 358 sprint main before 12th starter Dylan Norris of Hanover drove by for the lead and win.

Norris motored into second on lap eight and then consistently took six and seven-tenths of a second off of Best's advantage each lap before seemingly effortlessly driving by for control.

The victory was the eighth of the point leader's career at Williams Grove Speedway.

Nash Ely took second from Best on a lap 18 restart but couldn't challenge Norris for the win.

Best was third followed by James Roselli and Ayden Hare.

Sixth through 10th went to Seth Schnoke, Eli Tuckey, Steve Wilbur, Hunter Fulton and Cody Fletcher.

Heats went to Chad Criswell, Best and Roselli.
