Mike Johnson grabs first of year @ PPMSMike Johnson, Mike Pegher Jr., Carl McKinney, Bob Schwartzmiller, Eric Goldberg and Daniel White pick up wins on night two at Pittsburgh’s PA Motor Speedway on April 10, 2010.

Imperial PA’s Mike Johnson ended a long dry spell and picked up the win in the Hoosier Tire Mid‐Atlantic DIRTcar Super Late Model feature.

The win was his first since August 6 2006. Mike Basich and Mike Davis brought the field down for the green but the yellow came out quickly as Mike Basich and Lynn Geisler tangled in turns one and two, ending Geisler’s night. On the restart, Jason Rider grabbed the lead, and led the first four laps before his motor blew, bringing out the caution.

On the restart, heat winner Keith Barbara grabbed the lead, but unfortunately for him, it was determined that he had jumped the start, so he was to be docked two spots, and 5th starting Mike Johnson was moved into first with Mike Basich in second and Barbara in third. So on the next restart; it was Johnson, with Barbara getting by Basich.

Pegher was fast enough to eclipse the track record set earlier in the night by the elder Blair. While running second to the younger Blair on the seventh circuit, Pegher lapped the track in 18.995 seconds, which equates to 94.762 mph.
