Richmond, KY- June 3, 2017- Richmond Raceway would present its annual Four Cylinder Fury on Saturday evening and Jeremie Bretz of Maysville, KY would take the $1,000 victory for the Baker Iron and Metal Stock Four Cylinder division. Other feature event winners included Derek Fisher of Olympia, KY in Sonic Late Models, Jimmy Robinson of Richmond, KY in Eagle Financial Services Open Wheel Modifieds, and Eddie Stewart of Manchester, KY in AR Bodies KDRA Super Stocks on a night that saw competitors race two and three-wide and use almost every inch of available racing space on the track.
Jeremie Bretz would bag the top prize of the night in the Four Cylinder Fury for the Baker Iron and Metal Stock Four Cylinder division and take the $1,000 paycheck. Shane Yates would settle for runner-up honors in the event, while Greg Hensley would come home with a third place effort. Brandon Creech and defending track champion in the division Sean Jones would complete the top five finishers. The remainder of the top ten finishers would be Jeremy Porter, Dylan Stevens, Ashley Logan, Dalton Cox, and Matthew Norman.
The Sonic Late Model main event would see Derek Fisher start from the fourth position, but when the checkered flag had fell on the contest, Fisher would be in victory lane celebrating his second Sonic Late Model feature victory of the season at Richmond Raceway. Johnny Wheeler would finish in the second position, with top qualifier Scott Lemaster would complete the podium finishers with a third place effort. Connor Meade would nip Jeff Watson on the final lap to finish in the fourth spot, with Watson fifth. Sixth through tenth at the finish of the race would be Jonathan Couch, Joe Mayabb, Shane Bailey, Donnie Everman, and Eric Dalton.
Jimmy Robinson would lead all the way in the Eagle Financial Services Open Wheel Modified feature event, but he would have to hold a hard-charging Dennis Roberson at the conclusion of the event to score the victory. Roberson would finish second, with Jimmy Lennex, Jr. scoring a third place finish. David Adams would wind up fourth, with thirteenth place starting Jeff Watson completing the top five. The rest of the top ten finishers in the Open Wheel Modified main event would be John Jackson, Brent Estes, Zach Powers, Kelly Riggs, and Ricky Brandenburg, Jr.
