The Dirt Network's Crate List- August 2014 Western PA Crate Late Model Rankings

"The Crate List" August 2014

 Welcome back to The Dirt Network's monthly crate late model rankings page. Crate races we feature on this page were scored for 7 different tracks in July. Specials at Sharon, PPMS, Lernerville and Humberstone were supported by weekly races at PPMS, Marion Center, Dog Hollow, and Roaring Knob.

The Crate list will follow this format, I will be looking at weekly and touring race results for the crate tracks in the area with emphasis on the Fastrak and RUSH series. So here we go once again with The Crate List for August!

 1. Rick Singleton - Winning another RUSH touring race at Sharon Speedway and a third place at the RUSH tour race at Lernerville, were complimented with a weekly win at Dog Hollow, and a third at Roaring Knob. Don't bet against Rick and the 99* team, he goes back to back as our #1 driver again this month.

2. Ryan Montgomery -2nd place finishes at the RUSH touring races held at Sharon, Lernerville, and Humberstone. A big win for Ryan at the PPMS RUSH tour race has him sitting in first place for the RUSH touring points in 2014.

3. Andrew Satterlee -2 more wins and a 2nd at Marion Center along with a win, a 2nd and two 3rds at Dog Hollow put the Dews back at #3 on the list this month. Hard to move him down with all those top finishes, but the top 2 are owning the Rush Tour races. And that #2 car is for sale.....just sayin

4. Chad Mcclellan.-Lernerville's RUSH touring race winner, 2nd at the RUSH tour race at PPMS, and a third at Roaring Knob welcome team #119 back to the list. Chads tour win has him currently sitting third in the RUSH touring points this season.

5. Joe Martin- Welcome back to the dirt Mr. Martin, who stormed to a victory and two 2nd place finishes at Dog Hollow capped off with a 2nd at Marion Center. July's finishes had to make the #55 team happy to return to the track after a lengthy absence form dirt racing.
