The rain delayed some race action Saturday night, but it didn't disappoint the fans who remained to see the American Sprint Car Series Patriot race.
After a rain delay that lasted more than an hour, the ASCS Patriot Sprints took the 3/8-mile dirt oval at Sharon Speedway. Dylan Swiernik gave up his pole position as engine trouble became eminent, giving the first-place starting position to Kyle Moffitt. However, the second place starter, 20-year-old Bubba Broderick, set sail and sent Moffitt to second while Jared Zimbardi ran third on a very fast track - Broderick was running a 14.175 lap and average speeds of 93 to 94 MPH. On a restart after a fifth-lap caution, Moffitt went to the outside trying to chase down Broderick. Zimbardi ran third with close company from Tim Kelly as Chris Shuttleworth was charging forward.
As the green flag stayed out, the story of the race quickly became lap traffic as the battle for fourth formed between Bryan Howland and Kelly. Zimbardi, who had been running third, slowed to a stop in turn four on the 15th lap, bringing out a caution. That moved Howland into third and Kelly into fourth. It also brought Shuttleworth into the top five.
Broderick continued to set the pace as Moffitt couldn't find a way to get to him and stayed in second as Howland started to gain on Moffitt. With three to go, another caution came out as Zimbardi left the track. Blake Breen jumped into fifth as Shuttleworth fell back. Broderick, from Connecticut, held on and stayed safe to record the win in ASCS Sprints.
ASCS heat winners were Zimbardi, Broderick and Shuttleworth.......
