Gregg Satterlee (22) goes around Brad Omps (5) to take command.
What won the race: After a caution erased polesitter Brad Omps's four-second lead, eighth-starting Gregg Satterlee of Rochester Mills, Pa., swept past the early leader on a lap-29 restart and drove on to a $4,000 victory in Hagerstown Speedway's Firecracker 40. Satterlee's ultimate margin of victory was 2.95 seconds.
Quotable: “We really had a good car,” Satterlee said. ”We had to make some changes tonight than what we normally do as the track was a little bit different. Brad had a really good car. I was trying to find him out there when I was racing with Austin (Hubbard) and Keith (Jackson) and I couldn’t see him. I knew he checked out and was gone, so I was lucky to get the caution when we did. I got a really good restart and was able to go around him and on a clean race track was able to run my line, keep my speed up and get going a little bit better. The track was awesome tonight.”
Key notes: Satterlee also won Hagerstown's Rodney Franklin Salute on April 18, collecting a total of $12,422. ... Omps battled three-wide with Austin Hubbard and Trever Feathers at the drop of the green before breaking away from the pack. ... Kyle Hardy stopped for a lap-23 caution. ... Jerry Bard was charged with the lap-29 caution that helped Satterlee take command. ... The Fourth of July special ran under Appalachian Mountain Speedweek rules. ... Many Hagerstown competitors will be in action Sunday in Bedford (Pa.) Speedway's Milt Miller Tribute, which mirrors Saturday's event.
On the move: Track veteran Gary Stuhler of Greencastle, Pa., earned the DirtonDirt.com Hard Charger award for an 19th-to-eighth rally.
