Indianapolis 500 driver Bryan Clausen brought out the first yellow on lap six when his Heffner racing number 27 slowed.

Kobylardz stretched his lead on the restart with Bright running second. Brenden began closing on lap nine and made the race winning move coming out of turn four to lead lap eleven.

Fourth place running Danny Stratton saw his night end on lap thirteen tightening the field for the final time. Steve Buckwalter made a move to third on the restart, but the night belonged to the Wee Bee Audio number 92 of Bright.

The nights hard charger was Brett Wanner who advanced seven positions to win the free wheel from Keizer Wheels.

Brenden Bright Sweeps the Weekend, Wins Third of the Year at Susquehanna

York Haven, PA
June 12th, 2016

Brenden Bright of Collegville, PA won his fourth Hoosier Tire Mid Atlantic ARDC presented by Autobahn Indoor Speedway of the season and swept the USAC Eastern Storm at Williams Grove and Susquehanna Speedway. Bright started 5th in his number 92 Presidential HVAC, WeeBee Audio Video, A main Motors, Bad Ass Racing Oil midget and made his way through the field to take the lead at the line on lap 9.

PJ Gargiulo and Brett Wanner led the field to the green with the 5 of Gargiulo taking the lead. One of ARDC’s hottest drivers this year Brett Arndt moved into second and began to pressure PJ. Arndt made his move coming out of turn four on lap six to take the lead at the line, but Gargiulo countered coming into turn one and two trying to power back by Arndt. It wasn’t meant to be for the ARDC veteran as he caught the inside berm coming out of turn four and spun ending his chances for victory.

The Essay Racing 46 of Arndt led the field to the green on the restart with Bright ready to make his move for the lead. The leaders would come to the line side by side to start lap nine with Bright taking the lead for good going into turn one and two. The Heffner Racing 27 once again being driven by Bryan Clausen moved into second on lap ten and set his sights on the leader Bright. Clausen’s pursuit would end on lap fifteen when he shredded a tire going into turn one bringing out the final caution flag of the race.

The final restart saw Bright set sail and leave the field behind. Trevor Kobylardz battled Arndt for second eventually taking the spot for his second second place of the weekend. Arndt would settle for third with Ryan Greth fourth and Alex Bright fifth.
