Lance Dewease Leads a Posse Sweep of Williams Grove
Dewease is the 19th different World of Outlaws STP Sprint Car Series winner of the season
MECHANICSBURG, Pa. — July 19, 2014 — After a nearly three hour rain delay that pushed the start of the feature into the early morning hours of Sunday, Lance Dewease held off Donny Schatz to win night two of Summer Nationals at Williams Grove Speedway. Dewease’s win gave the Pennsylvania Posse a sweep of Summer Nationals and made him the 19th different World of Outlaws STP Sprint Car Series winner of the season.
In the closing laps of the feature, Schatz gave Dewease a strong challenge.
“The lapped cars, I had to run the top,” said Dewease, driver of the C.C. Dietz Builders car. “That was the only place I was any good at. I was trying to time the lapped cars so I could get a good run going into one so I could fly by them. I got to Chad and the 16 and they were kind of racing each other – kind of watched myself a little bit and I guess I backed off a little too much and let Donny try to slide me.”

Hodnett, who started the A main in fourth in his Lelands.com/Pasquariello’s Auto Shop car, dominated the second half after getting around Outlaw Joey Saldana and fellow Posse Brent Marks on a restart. Hodnett said the double file restarts that had hurt him the night before at Lincoln, helped him at Williams Grove.
