The defending World Champion Dylan Hoch rolled the dice at Hamlin Speedway a few times in lap traffic during the Super National Event on Saturday night. Those moves allowed Hoch to stay ahead of Mike McLaughlin and then Shelby McLaughlin in the closing laps to take the big win.
Shelby McLaughlin was second followed by Tyler Hoch who drove back to the front of the field after being involved in an early race yellow flag.
“It was challenging because those cars are still racing for position too,” said Hoch after the win about his endeavors through the lap traffic.
Lap traffic played a key role in the junior Slingshot event as well. Paulie Hartwig III made the pass of Aidan Donaldson in traffic nearing the event of the 25 lap event. Hartwig’s move and then continue maneuvering of the back of the field took him to the checkered flag over Donaldson and James Hendricks.
