HANOVER, PA, 9/5/08-Points leader Jeff Rohrbaugh raced like it was going to rain.

It did, and the two-time defending track champ came from 12th starting spot to grab the race lead from Randy Whisler on lap 14 and become the all-time career feature winner in the "358" sprint division at Trail-Way Speedway Friday night.

Somehow, Rohrbaugh worked his way through the field in an event which saw seven caution flags and two red flags before the rain arrived during a 16th-lap red flag for a Tim Stallings flip on turn two which also collected Brad McClelland. McClelland was running in the back after going to the pits to change a tire when his B&D Truck Hoist #6 was damaged during the earlier red flag on lap eight.

The first red flag came out when outside front row starter and race-long leader Doug Hammaker got out of shape exiting turn four, turned onto his side, and collected eighth-place Colt White and tenth-place Billy Dietrich. White was transported to the hospital with an arm injury and all three cars were towed from the scene. McClelland was also involved and kept moving, but stopped in turn two during the red with a flat tire.

Whisler assumed the lead for the ninth-lap restart, with Randy Davis, Jr. second and Rohrbaugh third. Rohrbaugh got around Davis for second on lap 12 and drove high in turns three and four to get past Whisler for the lead to complete lap 14.

Just after the leaders passed the flagstand, the #4R of Davie Franek came to a stop on turn four, bringing out the seventh caution flag of the race. Rohrbaugh led one final green flag lap before the final red flag came out for Stallings.

Intermittent rain during the feature got too heavy as the cars were lining up for the 16th lap restart, and the field was sent to the pits. With more than half the race complete, promoters declared the race official five minutes later.

The win moved Rohrbaugh one win ahead of McClelland on the all-time win list with 17.

Credited with second was Whisler, with Davis third, Darren Schott fourth, and Joe Trone, Jr. fifth. Completing the top ten were Dale Hammaker, Tim Wagaman, Jessie Morrison, Mike Duncan, and Brie Hershey.

Heats for the 26 "358" sprints were won by McClelland, Whisler, and Dale Hammaker.

With qualifying in for the 19 RMP thundercars on hand, the thundercar feature was rescheduled for next Friday, September 12th.

Thundercar heats were won by Will Walls and Dan Furman.

Heats for the 22 limited stock cars were won by Chad Weaver and Brad Staub. A make-up date for that feature will be announced.
