WIN
270 Race - Leading by a turn after lap six, only Mike Casario was able to say within striking distance of Cody Darrah as the youngster from Red Lion dashed away in 270 Sprints. Casario dropped out on lap 19 and Darrah took his first win of the new season. It was his second Path Valley victory after a win last season in his rookie year. Darrah, 15, said a lot of thanks for his triple threat racing is due to good sponsors like J&K Salvage and Darrah Motors. Darrah is a triple threat at Path Valley as he races in both 270 Sprints and 600 Sprints and occasionally in Legends Cars. The front five were Darrah, Craig Myers, Mike Rutherford, Sean McAndrew and Chad Myers.(Path Valley PR)
