Gavyn Krupp Wins his First Grandview Sportsman Feature  

In only his second feature at Grandview, Gavyn Krupp picked up his first victory in only two races on the historical raceway on the hill.

Polesitter Gavyn Krupp led the first two laps before T J Mayberry took over the lead on lap 3.  Mayberry lead until lap 22 when the leaders of Mayberry, Krupp and Watt went three wide  then got involved in an incident with a car pulling off the track and a lapped car which collected two of the three leaders knocking both Mayberry and Watt out of the race with heavy damage to their cars.  Krupp was then able to hold off Mikey Schneck in a two lap shootout to take his first trip to Grandview’s victory lane.
