BUFFALO TWP — The clock struck midnight — and Jim Fosnaught wasn't done racing.

For that matter, neither was anyone else.

In a bizarre final night of Fab Four racing at Lernerville Speedway, Fosnaught wrapped up the Sportsman Stock points title and claimed a feature win at 12:15 a.m.

The entire race card didn't conclude until 1:37 a.m., courtesy of a 2-hour, 40- minute rain delay.

“I was hoping we wouldn't race, that they would just call it,” Fosnaught admitted. “I really didn't want to take my car back out there.

“The track was in terrible shape.”

The Sportsman Stock feature began with 18 cars. It had eight restarts and only nine cars finish.

Fosnaught began the night with a 23-point lead over Rob Shook in the points race. Carl Bowser (Sprints), Alex Ferree (Late Models) and Russ King (Modifieds) clinched their points championships last week.

Shook was within 22 points of Fosnaught after the heat races. But the Bairdford driver of the No. 20 car took care of business in the feature.

He started fourth and grabbed the lead on a 12th-lap restart when pole-sitter and race leader Bob Egley was forced to the pits with damage to his car. Egley's No. 30 was hit in the rear coming through Turn 3 a few laps earlier.

“Egley was faster than me. He had the better car tonight,” Fosnaught said. “The track conditions spoiled it for him.

“But this caps off just a great season for me. It's still sinking in that I won this. It means a lot to win a points title at this track because of all the great drivers that came before me.”

Fosnaught's win was his sixth of the season at Lernerville. He began the campaign with only one career victory at the Sarver oval, that coming in 2012.

All he had to do was begin the feature and he had the title clinched.

“They (track officials) told me that before the race,” Fosnaught said. “I was still nervous, though. What if my car wouldn't start or something?”

The night did claim some casualties. Late Model driver Gregg Satterlee and Sprint driver Tim Shaffer, both highly successfully on all-star circuits, chose not to wait out the rain and left early. So did Modified points champion King and a few other cars.

Ferree had his night ended early. On the track for the first Late Model heat race, a heavy downpour suddenly arrived as Ferree and three other cars were heading for Turn 3.

The track immediately slicked over and all four cars skidded off the top cushion. Ferree's car slid into the guard rail, bending the frame of his brand new No. 10 car.

“First time out ... I had to junk it,” Ferree said. “I tried swinging out of the way of Jared Miley because I didn't want to take him out and wound up doing more damage to myself.

“That rain hit so quickly. There was nothing any of us could do. Fortunately, nobody was hurt.”

All four features Friday were trimmed to 20 laps because of the late hour. Michael Norris of Sarver started on the pole for the Late Model feature and led from wire to wire.

The win was the second for Norris at Lernerville this season.

Brian Swartzlander was the pole-sitter for the Modified feature and also led from wire to wire. The victory was his fourth of the season and extended his Modified career track record win total to 86.

“I can't believe we got these races in,” Swarttzlander said. “The way it was raining, I never would have dreamed it. But it worked out well for me.

“There was a stream, of water going across the front straightaway ... probably from a drain by the flag stand. Nothing could be done about it. Everybody just had to deal with it.”

Logan Wagner, 24, of Bedford won the Sprint feature. He started fourth and took the lead from AJ Flick on the sixth lap.

The win was Wagner's first in a 410 Sprint car as this is his first year in that division.

Notes: There were 76 cars in the pits. ... Corey McPherson won his 10th heat race of the season, tops in all divisions. Fosnaught's six feature wins led all divisions as well. ... Sarver's Ken Schaltenbrand (second) and West Sunbury's Chuck Sarver (third) had season-best finishes in the Late Model feature. ... The World of Outlaw Late Models' Workingman 50 takes place next Friday at Lernerville. The Uncle Sam 30, rained out at the Firecracker 100 in June, will run next Friday as well.
