South Park PA's Jared Miley wins the Red Miley Rumble 53, in the Hoosier Tire Mid-Atlantic DIRTcar Super Late Models. Lynn Geisler grabbed the lead at the start, but the race was yellowed after a hard wreck in turn three by Jason Dupont. This yellow was key in Miley's victory, as he had tagged the first /second turn wall on the start and developed a flat and the yellow allowed him time to change it. On the restart, it was Geisler back out front with Gregg Satterlee and Steve Baker right behind. The race ran this way for the next 16 laps, until Keith Barbara moved into third ahead of Baker on lap 17. Geisler held a solid lead for most of those laps, but heavy traffic allowed the top four to bunch closer together. A lap 22 caution for Derek Stefanick's blown engine, allowed Barbara to grab second from Satterlee, while Miley worked his way into the top 5. On lap 25 Geisler's fine run ended, when he blew an engine, his second in the last two weeks bringing out the caution. Barbara took over first on the restart over Satterlee, Miley, Baker and Mike Johnson. Barbara and Satterlee dueled for first side by side, while Miley and Baker battled for third for the next 13 laps. Satterlee forged ahead on lap 36 only to have Barbara back ahead on lap 37. It all came to an end on lap 38, when Satterlee spun in turn 4 and brought out the yellow and went to the tail. Barbara was back out front with Miley and Baker behind. Miley raced Barbara side by side and made his winning move on lap 46 and led the remaining laps to pick up his thrilling win. Barbara was second followed by Keith Berner, who made his first start in several seasons, by coming on strong in the late laps to finish third followed by Baker, and Mike Johnson as the top five were within a straightaway of each other. Rounding out the top ten were Alex Ferree, John Garvin, Boom Briggs, Matt Lux (who picked up the Awesome Hard Charger Award) and Satterlee. John Garvin was the K&N Performer of the race.
