4.6.19 Summer Thunder Sprint Series Results

Yakima, WA – The opening weekend for the Summer Thunder Sprintcar Series is in the books with Jason Solwold making his presence known with two wins to open 2019 at Central Washington State Fair Raceway. It was a repeat victory lane on Saturday night, with Jason Beaulieu winning the Washington Modified Tour Main Event.

Similar to his Friday night win, Solwold had to overcome a little adversity to grab the Summer Thunder Sprint Car Series victory. Logan Forler had passed Solwold in turn three on the 12th lap amongst slower traffic, but a caution flag for Trevor Cook would give Jason the top spot back. Despite two more stuff runs from Forler, Solwold would hold strong to sweep the weekend, with Logan settling for second and Colton Heath taking third. Solwold was the fast qualifier. Heat winners were Heath, Devon Borden and Garen Linder.
