Mike Gular Wins Wild Short Track Super Series Race At Action Track USA

Action packed at Action Track USA. The Bob Hilbert Sportswear Short Track Super Series (STSS) Fueled By Sunoco did what people said couldn’t be done.

The ground-pounding Modifieds tackled Action Track USA – one-fifth-mile bullring – on Tuesday night and Boyertown, Pa.’s Mike Gular was the man left standing at the conclusion of the ‘Berks County Brawl.’

The 50-lap feature event was slowed by just a single yellow flag.

Gular’s win netted him more than $5,000 for his efforts on the demanding confines of Action Track USA.

Bobby Hackel IV quickly fired to the lead, but got sideways in turns three and four, collecting Gular and allowing Pipersville, Pa.’s Danny Bouc to take the top spot.

Following the race's only yellow on Lap 9, Gular and Bouc traded the lead on three occasions, before Gular emerged with top spot.

The race for the lead intensified at the Danny’s Pizza Pizzazz halfway mark. Gular bobbled in the third turn, allowing Cormier to get alongside him for the lead.

Gular shook off the first attempt. Cormier, however, was persistent. Cormier threw a slide job at Gular coming to complete lap 28. Gular crossed him over and again thwarted Cormier’s advances. The next circuit, Cormier was successful.

Cormier had taken the lead away when the field completed lap 30, just in time to contend with the back of the 16-car field.

Gular put his short-track expertise to the test, racing around Cormier on lap 35 in the lap traffic and wrestling the lead away. Gular held off Cormier to the end with Matt Stangle rounding out the top three.
