Mill Hall, PA – Andrew Yoder of Middleburg had a fast race car utilizing the low line around the speedway for the majority of the laps to win the Keystone 40 for the Limited Late Models during Saturday’s season finale at the Clinton County Speedway.

Shawn Shoemaker and JR Toner brought the field to the green flag for the start of the 40-lap event. On lap number one, track champion Matt Cochran’s car slowed on the back stretch while Toner spun in turn number four to bring out the first yellow flag. Following the restart, Yoder advanced from his fifth starting spot and quickly moved to the front. On lap three the yellow flag waved again when Jermey Ohl spun in turn number two. From that point on, the event went 37 laps non-stop with Yoder leading every lap through lapped traffic. By lap ten, Yoder was leading Shoemaker and Ryan Zook. One lap later, Yoder began to encounter lapped traffic. Yoder utilized the low side of the speedway for the majority of the race, but also was able to use the high side of the speedway when dealing with lapped traffic. At moments early in the race, Shoemaker and Zook seemed to be closing in on the progress of the race leader. At the halfway mark, Yoder was leading Shoemaker, Zook, Jeremy Ohl and JR Toner. Yoder extended his lead to over half of a straight away lead to earn the victory of Shoemaker, Ohl, Zook and Toner.

By lap ten, Cecee was leading Geesaman, Tommy Dawson, Cory Long and Denny Fourney. By lap number 11, 17th place starter Shane Wolfe entered the top five. Cecee quickly caught the back of the field. Lapped cars allowed Geesaman to catch Cecee as Wolf made it a three-car race by lap number 15 in lapped traffic. Wolf passed Geesaman for second on lap 15. On lap number 24 the red flag came out when Mike Goodwin’s car caught on fire. Goodwin escaped without injury. Following the restart, Cecee held off the challenge by Wolf. With ten laps remaining, Cecee continued to lead Wolf, Cory Long, Dawson and Denny Fourney. Fourney passed Dawson for fourth on lap number 33. Cecee claimed the $1,000 pay day over Wolf, Long, Fourney and Dawson. Sixth through tenth were Nate Stoup, Noah Jensen, Marc Bitler, Chris Derr, and Danny Jensen.
