HANOVER, Pa: Stephen Wurtzer captured his first career Gene Latta Ford Central PA Legends presented by Harvest Chapel main event.
Wurtzer started on the pole of the main event and beat Austin Bellemare through the first and second corner to take the lead. Chris Transeau, who started ninth, was the car on the move early, blasting into the top five on Lap 4 after starting ninth.
Transeau made a bold move to make a two-car pass on the 12th circuit to take third. He passed Bellemare on Lap 17 and had three laps to catch the leader.
But Wurtzer was money up front. He held off the closing Transeau and took the win by .564 seconds at the stripe. Bellemare, Travis McClelland, and Seth Kearchner completed the top five.
Bill Diehl, Kearchner, Bellemare, and Wurtzer were heat winners for the 39-car field. Lincoln Kearchner and Mike Racine won the twin consolations.
