Mercer, PA (April 6, 2014) Gregg Satterlee of Indiana, PA took the lead on lap 26 of the 30 lap ‘Chiller Thriller’ at Mercer Raceway Park after a daring move to the outside of then leader Tim Fuller to win the inaugural NDRL Northeast Late Model Series event.

Fuller and Russell King brought the field to the green flag with King gaining the early advantage followed by Fuller. Dan Stone and Satterlee had an intense battle for the third spot as Fuller stalked the race leader King. By lap six, Fuller drove to the outside of turns one and two to pull alongside of race leader King and used his momentum to blast by King in turns three and four to take over the race lead. Stone, who was running fourth, came to a stop on the backstretch on lap 14 to bring out the events first caution.

During the Delaware style restart, Fuller continued to lead while Satterlee took advantage of his outside starting position to make his way around King for second and begin his assault on the leader. After a second caution slowed the pace, Fuller continued to lead as he moved to the outside to hold off the hard charging Satterlee.

The third and final caution flew on lap 18 setting up another Delaware style restart, Fuller again ran a similar line as Satterlee to block his advances. The duo battled back and forth through the next eight laps before Satterlee was finally able to make the pass on the outside of turns three and four on lap 26. A lap later Fuller slowed with a flat right rear tire and retired from the event surrendering the second position to Keith Barbara who got by King for third on the lap 18 restart. Satterlee set a blistering pace the final four laps to take home the $3,000 top prize ahead of Barbara, King, Mike Knight, and Max Blair who rounded out the top five. Justin Kann finished sixth ahead of Brent Rhebergen, Greg Oakes, Jared Miley, and Chad Hollenbeck who finished tenth.

Mike Kinney and Steve Dixon led the NDRL Modifieds field to the green flag with Kinney jumping out the early lead. Dixon wasted no time though and took the lead off of Kinney as the pair roared out of turn two. Just like Dixon, fourth starting Rich Michael Jr. wasted no time in making a move past Dixon for the race lead on lap three. Michael Jr. would pace the field for the remaining 17 laps to capture the $1,000 top prize followed by Joel Watson, Steve Dixon, Brent Rhebergen, and Randy Hall who finished fifth. Sixth was Mike Potosky while Justin Carlson was seventh, Mike Kinney in eighth, ninth was Ken Zimmer, and Jeff Johnson rounded out the top-ten.
