Win number 7 in the Late/ Models at Stafford Speedway for Fearn.

Posted by Wayne G. Barber

In the 30-lap Late Model feature, Paul Arute streaked into the lead at the drop of the green with Kevin Gambacorta, Tyler Leary, and Tom Fearn lined up behind him.  Fearn took third on lap-2 behind Arute and Gambacorta with Michael Wray moving into fourth on lap-3.  Paul Varricchio, Jr. got around Tyler Leary to move into fifth.
Gambacorta was applying heavy pressure to Arute for the race lead and he was finally able to get alongside Arute on lap-5 and he took the lead on lap-6.  Gambacorta’s move opened the door for Fearn to move into second, Varricchio to third, Wray to fourth, and Leary to fifth as Arute slid back to sixth.  Fearn took the lead from Gambacorta on lap-7 with Varricchio, Wray, and Leary still lined up behind him.
With 10 laps to go, Fearn was still out front with Gambacorta giving chase from second.  Varricchio was still third with Wray and Leary at the bottom end of the top-5.  Wray got around Varricchio for third on lap-25 while Glen Reen was applying heavy pressure to Leary for fifth.  Reen was able to make a pass on lap-26 and he went by both Leary and Varricchio to move into fourth with Leary taking fifth as Varricchio falling back to sixth.  Trace Beyer got into the turn 2 wall to bring the caution out with 28 laps complete and set up a green white checkered finish.
Gambacorta’s car didn’t come up to speed on the restart and he got turned around with Wray also spinning to bring the caution right back out.  Neither car hit anything with Wray coming to pit road with a flat tire before rejoining the action.
Fearn took the lead with Reen right on his bumper.  Fearn led Reen to the checkered flag to pick up his seventh win of the 2018 season.  Leary finished third with Chase Cook and Beyer rounding out the top-5. Source: Scott Running Stafford Speedway Media Press Release.
