Satterlee Opens World of Outlaws Late Model Series Doubleheader At Selinsgrove Speedway With Convincing Victory
Scores Second Career Win On National Tour Just One Month After His First
SELINSGROVE, PA – Aug. 31, 2013 – It took Gregg Satterlee 85 tries to break into Victory Lane on the World of Outlaws Late Model Series. He needed just five more starts to make his return to the national tour’s most exalted spot.
Almost exactly one month after registering his first-ever WoO LMS A-Main triumph Satterlee was back in the spotlight, rolling to a convincing win in Saturday night’s 40-lap ‘Showdown On Sand Hill’ at Selinsgrove Speedway.
Satterlee, 29, of Rochester Mills, Pa., was unbeatable in the opening leg of the inaugural WoO LMS doubleheader at the historic half-mile central Pennsylvania oval. He passed defending circuit champion Darrell Lanigan of Union, Ky., for the lead on lap 17 – a moment before Lanigan slowed with an overheating engine – and dominated the remainder of the distance to cash an $8,050 first-place check.
“I would’ve never thought we would’ve got one again this year,” said Satterlee, whose milestone first WoO LMS victory came on July 30 at Shawano (Wis.) Speedway. “It always hangs in the back of your mind – that once you get (a win), you can do it again – but I never would’ve dreamed that we would do it again this soon. This is just awesome.” (more…)
