Lisowski Scores Hard Fought Win At Grandview Thursday Night
Story By: BOB MILLER / THUNDER ON THE HILL – BECHTESLVILLE, PA – Minersville, PA’s Mike Lisowski scored a hard fought victory in the 25-lap Sportsman feature Thursday at Grandview Speedway, collecting a $1,300 winner’s share.
Nathan Mohr and Jack Butler led the 24-car field to the green flag with Butler jumping out to the early lead and dominating the first-half of the racing event. Lisowski – from a fifth place starting position – moved into third in the early stages of the event, and despite multi-car battles took the lead just passed the halfway point.
Lisowski’s main challenge came mid-way through the race when Jordan Henn powered from a 12th place starting position to battle for the top spot. No one could dethrone Lisowski, who claimed the victory.
Ryan Higgs came home in the second position, Louden Reimert in third, Joe Funk in fourth, and current Grandview weekly point leader, Brian Hirthler.
