Ervin Threepeats at Mountain

7/20/08
Hazelton, PA – Ewing, NJ driver Tom Ervin scored his third feature event win of the season in the Modified Outlaw Micro Stock (M.O.M.) race at Mountain Speedway on Sunday. Starting outside pole in his heat race, Ervin powered the K&K Industries/C&M Automotive Warehouse #99 around pole sitter Dennis Hiddemen to grab the lead at the start and lead every lap. Carrying that momentum into the feature Ervin led wire to wire to win by half a lap in the John Kazmierski-owned car over perennial second place finisher Dennis Hiddemen, who had his hands full fending off the race-long challenges of defending 2007 M.O.M. Champion Brian Braddock. Braddock drove to the outside of Hiddemen at the finish but came up short for third. Bill Kriegner Jr. matched his best run of the season with another fourth place finish, and John Paulsen rounded out the top five for his best run of the season.
Ervin’s win extended his lead to 60 points over Braddock with only two points races remaining on the M.O.M. Schedule. Kriegner and Paulsen tied for the hard charger award of the race with their climb from the back.


Final Finish – Tom Ervin, Dennis Hiddemen, Brian Braddock, Bill Kriegner Jr., John Paulsen, Jim Van Dine, Andy Hiddemen, Nick Cottone, John Kazmierski.


The Modified Outlaw Micro Stocks will return to Mountain Speedway on August 10th. There is no club fee to participate in M.O.M. events, and all Modified and Controlled Stock racers are welcome to compete. As the most recent feature event winner, Ervin will be starting last in both his heat race and the feature event.
