(Flat Rock, MIJune 21, 2014): Moorseville, NC resident Brad Riethmeyer scored his first-ever win in the 50 lap ARCA Moran Chevrolet Late Model feature Saturday night at Flat Rock Speedway. Guy Fire also entered the history books with his first win in the DTS Drive Train Specialists Street Stock main, while Robbie Loving posted the victory in the Praxair Figure 8 contest. Race Loving captured the wild Road Rage event.

 

The ARCA Moran Chevrolet Late Model 50 lap feature event finished in just over 10 minutes as the event ran without a yellow flag. The 7 car inversion put Brad Riethmeyer and Jeff Vrsek on the front row, with Brad getting the jump at the start to take the lead. Riethmeyer, a Texas native now living in North Carolina, put the #56 out front and zipped in and out of lapped traffic, with Frank Jiovani glued to his rear bumper. The lead duo stretched their advantage over the 20 car field with the non-stop action. Vrsek began to reel the pair in with about 15 laps to go but Riethmeyer was up to the challenge and took the win over Jiovani, Vrsek, Steve Cronenwett Jr. and Paul Pelletier. Vrseks 3rd place finish was his career-best at Flat Rock, while both Cronenwett and Pelletier moved up through the pack in the closing laps to take 4th and 5th, respectively. Stan Yee Jr., Derek Wiley, Terry Bogusz, Dennis Strickland and Chris Benson completed the top ten. Wiley set fast time at 11:688, with the heat race wins going to Brad Turner, Ron Allen and Riethmeyer.
